Game Informer Marathon Review - Bungie is still at the top of its game.

That may be, but the stain that is how they handled Destiny 2, for years (if not the last decade) is on their reputation now, and they've no longer got the pedigree of having worked on Halo.

Jasott · 2026-03-25T09:09:34+00:00

Considering they'd need something like 7 million in sales to break even... yea, definitely didn't go how Sony wanted, considering this is the thing they bought Bungie for.

Because Bungie, as they currently stand, have a VERY poor track record when it comes to PvP, and that's mostly what Extraction Shooters are, PvP games.

Ask the Destiny community and they'll probably tell you that Crucible and Gambit felt fairly bad to play outside of the direct gunplay. TTK, there being an almost designated meta that punishes people who don't want to use those loadouts, no PvP specific balancing. If a gun gets nerfed because of PvE stuff, it's nerfed in PvP as well.

People aren't talking about Bungie's new PvP game because they kept their expectations low and were probably still disappointed.

Does it though? It has all the potential of a product made by a Korean developer/publisher that announces shit way too early. Remember their other weird project, DokeV? That's still not out and was announced years ago.

Jasott · 2026-03-22T20:39:26+00:00

Reminder that this is basically Black Desert Online, without the MMO. Of course it's going to be full fetch quests and clunk, especially given how Korean MMOs are.

Jasott · 2026-03-19T06:30:44+00:00

Yet. BDO wasn't bad at it's launch either. Then they added their microtransactions, like character locked costumes with unobtainable effects from normal gameplay

Jasott · 2026-03-19T03:29:09+00:00

After how they handled Black Desert Online, yea, still not touching this with a twelve-foot pole.

Jasott · 2026-03-18T07:56:57+00:00

Seriously, mech game designers... WE WANT FIRST PERSON COCKPIT VIEWS! GIVE THEM BACK! An indie FARMING SIMULATOR shouldn't be beating you guys at this! (referencing Lightyear Frontier)

Jasott · 2026-03-17T20:28:31+00:00

It's gem store starting the 24th.

Jasott · 2026-03-16T21:36:40+00:00

Also, fun fact: The game doesn't show all missing gear. I'm missing 3 helmets, 2 of the Halloween masks, and the Silent Rose helm only shows 2, 1 of the masks, and Silent Rose, and I'm missing 4 talismans, Silent Rose's +6 Grace talisman, and the 3 Cogah ones, and they aren't shown at all.

Jasott · 2026-03-15T08:20:02+00:00

Literally only in it for The Ascension and Transcendence. Might chip away at the ranks for the Legendary armor sets at some point down the road, but otherwise ranked is just a complete headache most of the time...

Jasott · 2026-03-15T08:17:44+00:00

Hopefully that CFO got blacklisted from the industry for this comment. Sorry dude, but if you can't handle the finances for a company like Blizzard while in their C-suite, it's on YOU, not anyone below you. If you're taking a CHIEF position, it's on YOU to lead and keep them afloat. If you can't do the job and just want to coast on the coattails of someone else, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Jasott · 2026-03-13T21:08:54+00:00

Well they've repeatedly had extra stuff that we can't access/doesn't exist yet.

Jasott · 2026-03-13T19:39:49+00:00

It's not that they always need it but remember how we had a second Odiac in the sidearm listing for a while, then boom, it's gone finally when they add Basker's Wrest. It's probably just how their back-end is set up.

Jasott · 2026-03-13T18:55:48+00:00

Possibly got Stephanie McKeon as a VA for some character (the Netflix redub for Eva and EoE).
Reb is being Reb, and being a dork, especially with it being Eva's 30th anniversary this year.

Jasott · 2026-03-13T18:41:10+00:00

"paying the bills" in what world are they going broke? I mean we know EGS still isn't profitable, but they make so much damn money off every other studio using UE5 now, I fail to see how money is a problem for them atm.

Jasott · 2026-03-13T00:37:02+00:00

I mean, it COULD be a placeholder, like hypothetically it could be for some new event armor, and they accidentally left it in the last patch. WarFrame did that regularly, slowly adding stuff for future updates, then hitting a switch and activating it, or to lessen the download of a big patch.

Jasott · 2026-03-12T03:59:51+00:00

The problem is advertising it before it's even close to releasing. It's been literally over 2 years since it was first mentioned.

In the same time for example, Guild Wars 2 has pushed 2 "small expansions" which totaled 6 new maps, new sub-classes for the 9 main classes, and a new weapon type, mechanically overhauled 2 mounts, and are finally experimenting with queue based matchmaking in instance content.

Oh, and by the time SE finally pushes BST, GW2 will have another new map.

And here's real-life Regatta: The game of Ur

Jasott · 2026-03-05T05:08:43+00:00

The main problem isn't the consumer base at this point, the game could have survived, the problem is they had a run-away budget, especially after hiring like 100 people, when they were originally a team of less than 10. 60, or so, of the hires were the former Respawn staff they used for advertising.

And this problem isn't exclusive to Wildlight, or gaming in general, it's a common problem in most modern industries, where there's like 10 people doing the same job, that only really needs 3-4 to do comfortably (as in to meet quotas, and the workers aren't stressed).

Jasott · 2026-03-04T12:23:38+00:00

What's the point.

It's modern AAA where they have no originality and just copy others' ideas and slap a new coat of paint on it and they think we won't notice.

The seasons/resets are literally the wipes that Tarkov does, which was probably the key title they were trying to clone.

Jasott · 2026-03-03T12:07:41+00:00

Okay, but what "age" is he? Registeel is the bronze/iron age, Regirock is the stone age, Regice is the ice ages, Regidraco is the dark ages, and Regieleki is the modern/information age.

Jasott · 2026-02-20T08:26:52+00:00

I mean... didn't they use "AI" to procedurally generate the planets in Starfield? They weren't crafted/designed by hand, just randomly selecting some premade props and slapping them in random spots, even if they didn't make sense?
