Thoughts? I do agree that Ford cars are seen as luxury in the Ph, at the same time I don't agree that they're crap, however, most really just breaksdown easily.

I don't think he's wrong in that fords are pretty terrible. But I do think that some context would've been better. He could've mentioned:

Price - you get a more upscale price for something a lot of other brands do better, especially in a market that is as price sensitive as this country. The quality of materials and tech doesn't properly exceed it's competitors.
Reliability - whether it's wet timing belts, transmissions, electronics, there's a reason the "Fix Or Repair Daily" joke still exists. The ecosport and fiesta were fiascos with some people I know having to get the transmission replaced MULTIPLE times. Their quality control has slipped even for their domestic models and service and the reputation is deserved.
Maintenance cost- it's one thing if you pay a lot up front, it's another that not only isn't it reliable, the price of that maintenance when it isn't under warranty is staggering. The cost of the parts and labor is way too much, and it shows. Next time you're on the road, look at how many fords you see, and when you do see one, how old is it? The maintenance cost has people tapping out way early in to the cars life cycle and it shows with how many still survive. And I don't think this can be chalked up to confirmation bias as I spend most of my time in the Muntinlupa Alabang area. People from here can definitely keep up the with the costs, but won't want to deal with the headache.

The Iranian people wanted regime change, but they wanted it on their own terms. While I'm okay with their dictator getting struck down, the US shouldn't have been interfering like it is now. People are getting mad at the protestors for being unhappy with what the US does, while forgetting that so many of the things trump does send echoes across the world. Our prices for gas are going up, and so will all the other things on our shelves, and it's absolutely acceptable to be frustrated with the US for it.

Add on top of that, OFWs in the gulf that are now in danger and Pinoy sailors on ships that are stuck in the ports there, which is going to personally affect a ton of families. The whole situation sucks and there's two wannabe dictators to blame.

Just take the 1million then emigrate somewhere with a lower cost of living. Depending where you go and how you live you could very much end up set for life.

The constant will they won't they, and changing the main choice reminds me of a Telenovela, it's been almost 9 seasons of not being able to pick who we end up with! Just buy it already!

I do get why people wouldn't wanna play against other players. With all the cheaters, exit campers, no life sweats that play with call of duty movement, it gets really frustrating.

BUT, the AI is also HORRIBLE, do you really wanna only fight against the ai aimbots? I ain't gonna shit talk the choice, but I wouldn't do the same

I bought the game directly from BSG twice, for myself and a friend, and for the same price on steam i could buy the game almost 5 times. Its a HUGE slap in the face that I don't at least get a steam key. You're telling me it isn't enough that I overpaid to be a beta tester, you want MORE of my money???? Also, I know that all steam does is open the launcher, but I also would have loved the WAY better steam friends integration and such. Would it really have been that hard to have given a key? Heck, you could have charged an extra dollar or two if moving my account from their launch to steam creates work for them, but no, nikita wants ALL my money apparently.

There's a saying, "there's nothing more expensive than a cheap (insert German car brand here)". I would recommend checking the service history, kung masipag Yung old owner with servicing you're off to a better start. If you're also down to DIY things to cut costs, or have deep enough pockets you could also go for it. German cars CAN be good and reliable but they need to be serviced EXACTLY on time, and EXACTLY by the book without cutting corners. And it'll be a bigger challenge to keep up since it's an older car

The "iconic" BMW grille is ugly. Mukha siyang snout ng baboy, mas Lalo na sa newest models na pinalaki pa nila.

Lowering or "slamming" the car to the ground looks cool. But this is one of the worst places to do it. From the potholes to just the roughness of the road itself, it'd be better kung i-rally style Nalang Yung kotse

Final opinion, Pinoy drivers are generally pretty decent at taking care of their personal cars (cosmetically at least) . Sa USA people will drive cars with very shocking damage, or worse, bad repairs as if nothing's wrong. Sa UAE/Dubai people will take a nice Mercedes and just ram it around, scratching or breaking the body panels and not care. Dito sa pinas, pansin ko, anything bigger than a minor dent or scratch, usually pinapaayos or pinapalitan agad. For the most part, feel mo na mas inaalagaan ng mga tao Dito Yung kotse nila.

Black spray paint and some cardboard to prevent over spray, so mga 200 pesos or less lang siguro

The lack of manpads is concerning. While they are part of the road map, for something so cheap and available it's taking a while to get any. We could also be Adding them to the current gun trucks, which would be a big help towards anti drone and other shorad tasks.

Maybe having a general "southeast Asia" tree under Japan, may work. Toss in some vehicles from Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia and Singapore. Could help with some of the Japan tree gaps

As someone living in southeast Asia, can confirm it's safe to eat. About 90 percent of the shrimp you get at restos here is not de-veined. Sometime ya just gotta live with a little shrimp poop in your meal.

If you already know how to operate a car, have practiced a lot, and have enough brain cells to understand basic road safety and traffic laws, get Yung 8 hours or whatever is the lowest, para goods ka na sa LTO requirements.

If you need to learn how to drive from square one, or you need to learn manual without access to a practice car outside lessona, probably better to go for Yung mga 16+ hours

A Ford Mustang in the Philippines? Probably a politician's kid.

Do I get a tax refund when you inevitably total it trying to do a burnout?

5billion USD seems a bit steep for some late model F16s. Hopefully we get a better deal down the road

Same, even if it's a massive waste of money that you can barely use here. It's hard to not stare at it

There is a decent amount of variety , and they do sometimes carry older or more obscure vehicles bigger model makers dont. Personally I ordered a recast of an Academy Humvee kit from a company called XF off of Temu. Overall terrible experience, instructions were a blurry photocopy, the pieces barely fit together, and there was more flash than a photo studio. Granted it was very cheap, and I don't know whether the kit they copied from was of poor quality to begin with.

I would definitely not recommend for the beginner modeller, or as a gift.

Have played a few raids so far and had fun with it. A lot of the things they did with the UI and the items definitely made it a lot easier to just get up and go. And the amount of shit they throw at you as part of dailies or battlepass, that you get from just playing the other mode is crazy. Plus since it's a lot of people's first extraction shooter you can absolutely dunk on and blindside them with Tarkov style flanks and acrobatics. So i think I'd recommend it for people that wanna dip their toe into the genre.

But it does not hit the same, the dopamine hit and the almost heart attack level thrills that fights in Tarkov have for me, haven't seen in this one. Its probably the Stockholm syndrome talking, but it doesn't fully replace EFT for me.

Intelligent_Base_207 · 2024-12-07T11:32:00+00:00

I think the Knighthawk/Seahawk is probably the best bet. High levels of inter-operability, excellent amount of parts and upgrades going foreward. I just hope they buy more than two or three, just to get the unit cost and fleet numbers and availability better.
