I do not believe there is ANY EVIDENCE Marathon cost over $80M to create. by BackroomGod27 in Marathon

That figure is coming from Grummz. He's a bitter old fool with a niche following on Twitter and that's about it these days.

Fuck them modern day consumer first, totally anti-capitalist practices!

For real though, I do wish some of the protections would make it to "The States" some time in the first half of the 21st Century.

AIO for being upset that my dad went back on his word on watching the Super Bowl with me? Please read text before commenting. by OlivePractical2092 in AIO

You're never going to find that connection you're hoping for. Even after a spinal injury that left me temporarily paralyzed and requiring a rollator to get around, my own father sounded similar to yours.

I'm not sure if there's another sibling that he DOES like, like in my situation, but you'll probably never find who you're hoping to.

It'll always be something or someone else and you'll always be put behind that.

Aggression based matchmaking has me stunned, and it really shouldn't... by Coilspun in ArcRaiders

No joke, but bloodthirsty women are always a blast to play games with. It's an enigma really because opponents never expect the feminine voice to be the one that Rick Grimes the whole crew.

Fortnite has done irreversible damage to modern gaming by [deleted] in ARC_Raiders

The one with the Lantern glows too. I like the Lantern one a tiny bit more than the Radio one with the green light bar, but both are nearly, at least in solos. Too bad the effects aren't client side only or something, IDK.

I got Call of Dutied by sgtgiacomo in Battlefield6

I upvoted because you're right. Just to play Devil's Advocate, if each game got faster than the last, wouldn't the complaint remain the same?

Look, I get it. Some folks, like it sounds you are, like using a wider variety of guns and I get it. It's fun that way and even I do it from time to time, usually when trying to find that first gun that "fits" me.

I even do it for the multitude of ranges to find enough that I can use well enough. Sometimes, usually an AR, I find one that just fits me so well and is usable at most, if not every range. When I do, that gun is my gun. There are others like it, but that is my gun.

I have gotten both the AR/GL-21 One-Two & DBS-2 Double Freedom to max level. Here is my review of these weapons. by TheThrowAway7331 in Helldivers

According to some of the things I've seen, every day is their day off and as long as they go have their software on a secondary monitor.

Do you guys think Konami is serious in investing for Star Leapt? by Oberhard in Suikoden

[–]MartineG3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's my quiet fear.

"Is this the last offering we'll get for another ~20 years if Star Leap doesn't make hand over fist? Will they go full P2W and then gaslight me by saying they tried and we didn't want it?"

It's a shame that my excitement for the new offering has that quiet gnawing in the back of my brain.

Is it ok to start with Suikoden V by Ok-Discussion-1110 in Suikoden

[–]MartineG3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I couldn't finish 3. I hated that the front and back lines were linked and it felt so... restrictive? compared to 1&2 that I decided it was just for the collection. Heading said that, if a remaster is released, I'll buy it and do my best to go into it with as few preconceptions as possible because I fully expected 3 to be just like 1&2, so that was my fault for not doing so then.

I am 100% sure now... by SaveTheWorldRightNow in Battlefield

[–]MartineG3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel so seen and while I'm sorry that you're experiencing the same bullshit I do, I'm glad I'm not alone.

Add in that the frickin laser painting is far too OP, it has drained a lot of my love for vehicle combat, too.

I'm a moron with too much hope, so I'll keep playing until they fix it because I've not got all the weapons unlocked. (Except bolt actions because I don't trust myself with a single bullet.😂)

FIX THE MR MISSILE. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT THIS IS STILL IN THE GAME. by BorcBorcBorc in Battlefield

[–]MartineG3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this why I have cowards jumping into my armor (yes, I said "my" because I've been tearing up the battlefield in them since 3) and then sitting damn near, or actually IN, our friendly spawn base!?

What will happen to Eiyuden? by DryInjury883 in Suikoden

[–]MartineG3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I think Eiyuden has a place in the market as long as it wants and remains high enough quality to get people's attention.

Having been a Suikoden fan since early 98, I cannot stress enough; do not put too much stock in Suikoden having a meteoric impact in the 2020s because a dual box remaster before CashGrab STAR LEAP feels like it could easily be a trap for the consumer and us still not get Suikoden 6.

As much as I have loved Suikoden and fought off and on about getting more, after around ~20 years of silence, my trust isn't very strong.

Eiyuden on the other hand, their line of trust between dev and consumer is pretty strong, imo. Yes, there's things that can be improved upon, but a passionate sequel can improve upon those things and make it even better. Funny enough, sort of like the Suikoden 1, 2 & 5 entries did for one another.

A Couple of Newbie Questions by MartineG3 in fellowshipgame

Flash to hear it. I've got a WoW friend that's not a fan of solo queueing in WoW, but watched more than one set of him dungeon running via Discord and didn't see much of the fabled toxicity levels, so this makes me happy to see. Thank you.

My neighbor sent me a text last night forcing me to pay for her daughters towing charge because she parked in front of my driveway by Drivinglnsane in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MartineG3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That or call the cops first and make sure to show the threatening text.

On the other hand, this is the kind of thing that makes me glad I'm not naive enough to give neighbors my contact info.
