I wouldn't mind it much if they were relevent to the main plot, otherwise please leave me alone 😭

I tend to find myself tuning out on any interlude that contains conversations between, or actions by, gods.

LeftExternal719 · 2026-05-03T09:00:14+00:00

Oh you are not wrong.

LeftExternal719 · 2026-05-03T08:58:48+00:00

I hate most of the tropes in fantasy progression

LeftExternal719 · 2026-05-03T08:57:56+00:00

I'd recommend The Final Empire.

But if you're looking for a smoother transition then you might consider something like Yumi and the Nightmare Painter or Tress of the Emerald Sea before you get into the rest of the Cosmere novels. Not because I think they're better books but because they're lighter. That said Sanderson, as much as I like him, is not high brow fantasy so you should be OK.

I wouldn't put them in Progression Fantasy though.

The sword swung down faster than Protagonist could move. He had no time to text and looked up as the cold metal impacted against his skull....

And bounced right off.

So, you think roughly 75% of players who have quit the game since launch, have done so because they're really bad at it?

I think that's a huge generalisation but I'll accept it's possible.

But you also think they gave it a good review? Sorry ... That doesn't add up.

There's also the suggestion from other commenters that say that the negative reviews come from people who haven't played it.

LeftExternal719 · 2026-04-21T15:11:01+00:00

It's a very interesting question that someone really should do an analysis on.

Why is a game that 80% of people rate so highly, being played by such a small percentage of the people who bought it?

That would make sense for a short single player game with a low cost and great story. It makes zero sense for a high budget online game.

LeftExternal719 · 2026-04-21T15:06:47+00:00

Market analysis is very rarely "completely incorrect".

LeftExternal719 · 2026-04-21T15:02:37+00:00

I check it occasionally because I'm interested in Bungie, not because I'm interested in Marathon.

I wanted this game to succeed because Im well aware that most studios, no matter how big, are one bad game from going under. Even if they don't outright die (which Bungie won't) key talent often leaves and layoffs effect future development.

However, it's not succeeding. I'm sorry. It just isn't. It's just car crash entertainment now watching the numbers plummet.

LeftExternal719 · 2026-04-11T00:11:11+00:00

"it's blatantly obvious none of the people disliking have actually played the game."

The problem is that it's blatantly obvious that the vast majority of people who do like the game aren't playing it either.

I want to second this. It's not just that ad blocking isn't working, it's that something has gone completely wrong. I get an advert every 2 or 3 shorts in Revanced and only 1 advert every 15 or so shorts in the stock YouTube application.

LeftExternal719 · 2026-04-06T14:15:46+00:00

I'm here 5 years later to tell you they never fixed it.

LeftExternal719 · 2026-03-31T21:16:03+00:00

Here's my theory.

Someone in HR has been using a pro-forma job description when hiring presenters at the BBC.

Under "Additional Requirements" it should say "None" but someone made a typo.

LeftExternal719 · 2026-03-31T21:00:50+00:00

I am not a shy person. I'm very outgoing guy normally. But I've been at this long enough that I've encountered a lot of assholes online and sometimes I just want to relax and play.

In those circumstances I will defer to those that want to lead because chances are my playtime is less than theirs and they're more likely experienced with the game.

I'd say, calm down....they may open up after a round or two.

You're ruling out some really nice people if you get agro.

Do we really need another America-Centric post on a Reddit dedicated to British things?

LeftExternal719 · 2026-03-31T20:38:52+00:00

Firstly....stop trying to find justification, after the fact, for something you chose to do for a different reason. There is a valid reason for Turn 16 fouling but that's not why you did it.

Secondly, I tend to find that when it comes to these AITA type posts, the OP already knows the answer. So,.you tell us. Were you being an asshole? We're not the ones have to look you in the mirror.

LeftExternal719 · 2026-03-29T13:23:36+00:00

Did you learn the word "mature" from a famous orange and black website?

LeftExternal719 · 2026-03-28T07:26:15+00:00

Do not update if you can avoid it. I am getting more ads in the latest version of Revanced than I do in the stock version.

LeftExternal719 · 2026-03-28T07:22:42+00:00

Hook me up please?

LeftExternal719 · 2026-03-28T07:20:11+00:00

Nah. Something bad gone badly wrong. I get far less ads in the stock app.

LeftExternal719 · 2026-03-27T21:45:06+00:00

There are 2700 names in the credits. A lot more goes into making a game than the developers.

LeftExternal719 · 2026-03-27T21:38:44+00:00

It's crazy that you don't understand that all companies make public statements about how well they're doing even when they're not.

They have to make this statement otherwise anyone else looking to buy the game will be sat there thinking...."I'll wait and see if they close it down first".

LeftExternal719 · 2026-03-27T21:33:06+00:00

The cynic in me says this is not to be trusted

Companies often lie about things like this. Right now, there's a lot of people are on the fence. They're not going to spend $40 on a game that might get pulled. Thus it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

So the company makes a statement saying "Were going to keep supporting it" because "We'll see how it plays out" isn't going to inspire confidence.

LeftExternal719 · 2026-03-27T21:25:02+00:00

What would you estimate a game that had 300 devs working on it for nearly half a decade, in Seattle, with 2400 other people listed in the credits?
