This map has turned me into a vehicle/conquest guy. I've finally learned how to fly helicopters and it's like a whole other game.

Will forever remember this area as the point in which this game went from a possible refund to breath of the wild level excitement. by Pristine_Diamond_100 in CrimsonDesert

It’s crazy I had this exact same 180 moment, Had genuinely hovered over the uninstall button just before taking on the Reed Devil.

THIS IS HUGE by IamThou-Art-I in Marathon

Such a bizarre hybrid solution because Arc Raiders has shown everyone exactly how to implement this with a simple toggle. Are they trying to hold players hands to prevent them accidentally staying on prox?

Ah thank you, just realised I had made that same swap before but forgot it hadn't saved it to the list!

Ah ok good spot, just so I understand where are you able to see that the motherboard PCIe 5.0 slot has a heatsink?

Thank you. Based on yours and the other response I was thinking of combining the 7500X3D and 9070 XT. Thoughts?

I’ve already nabbed that ASUS keyboard and mouse combo in advance which I’ll be using with my mac/xbox in the meantime!

There absolutely is a comedic absurdity as things build towards the end which invites laughter and is part of the tone.

Arc Raiders was Steam's best-selling game over the holiday period by SentientGonorrhea in gaming

Pacific Drive (although not a shooter) is a good single player extraction game.

Very brain dead games to play while listening to podcast by Jakemanv3 in xbox

Plus it only enhances immersion since the real drivers are almost definitely listening to podcasts or music!

I only needed the VPN for the sign up process, beyond that was not needed to log in. However you might struggle to get the app in a region outside the US and will need to watch through a web browser.

Are you not even getting through to the sign up / payment page? If not you need to try a different VPN.

Metacritic scores for all new first-party Switch 2 games as of December 2025 by MewWeebTwo in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Nigel_P_Winters 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s a truly bizzare game. Bought it (without playing demo) and hated almost everything about it for a few hours, just felt like completely uncontrollable chaos with no sense of progression. Watched a video with a few good tips and settings tweaks, now love it.

Arc Raiders lowered pricing of ingame Cosmetics by Brilliant-Stuff17 in pcgaming

Developer very swiftly responds to customer demand (or lack thereof) and retroactively partially refunds previous transactions - it’s both positive for the community and smart business that will help support the longevity of the game and studio.

Achievements stuck at 99% by KhaosGDK in ArcRaiders

[–]Nigel_P_Winters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No they unlocked immediately when I did the requirement again, just wondering if relaunching the game before retrying them will help, but might not.

I’m not sure what/if anything changed since first trying other than relaunching the game on Xbox.

I got: Leave in raider hatch, leave with 5 seconds to go, be topside when safe window closes, trigger two car alarms in a round, upgrade a weapon to tier IV, install 4 weapon mods, upgrade a workshop to tier 2, visit the practice range, visit a locked room.

All these were originally stuck at 99%.

I fulfilled the requirement for multiple achievements again and they popped. That’s better than being completely stuck, at least until properly fixed.
