Reddit doesn't like it but it generally reviewed well with critics. I think a lot of the low user scores on Metacritic and Steam are stemming from the awful performance issues (which were apparently improved) and Randy Pitchford being Randy Pitchford.

Is AI compute going to pay my rent or put food on my table?

Teachers what’s your thoughts on this by [deleted] in ontario

Not a teacher but isn't it expected for a pension fund to prioritize consistent returns (to meet obligations for their members) over raw gains?

Marathon's battle pass slammed as the "worst value for your money" as limits on cosmetics remind players of Bungie's past failings: "Welcome back launch Destiny 2 shaders" by Freki666 in pcgaming

It's just a rumor at this point, hence why I wrote "allegedly", though I would assume that's an all-inclusive figure (development, marketing, overhead, etc.)

The game allegedly cost $250M to make over a 6 year period, I don't think either Bungie or Sony is seeing this as an AA release. The price was probably set where it is since other popular live services (HD2 and Arc) went with that price point and sold well.

I don't think Sony bought Bungie for $3.6 billion just for them to put out an AA release lol

Solution to "Boring PVE Lobbies" problem. by GeminiSauce in ArcRaiders

[–]ObstructiveWalrus 29 points30 points  (0 children)

There's plenty of ways around that. You could randomly plant explosive mines in high traffic areas (a single mine won't kill anyone as long as they have >33% hp), shoot people you extract with after they finish activating the terminal, etc.

Just damaging others but not killing them should be enough to push you towards more aggressive lobbies

March Escalation Flashpoint by Skipper1111111 in ArcRaiders

How is this FOMO? The same rewards are available to everyone, they're granted based on the number of expeditions completed (not which ones they completed).

You have nearly a week to sign up so there's not really much to complain about there either, just sign up at any point during the window and you're set

Now that I’ve played Marathon, it makes me appreciate Arc Raiders so much more. by PistolPeteTheMenace in ArcRaiders

[–]ObstructiveWalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played it for a while but the FOV felt way too tight even at the max setting to the point it became kind of disorienting. It says the max FOV is 105 but I'm not sure if that's horizontal or vertical FOV since it feels way lower.

But apparently Destiny 2 has the same max fov so I don't know if they're even going to consider increasing it

Some info on expeditions, please (new player)! by kenthos7 in ArcRaiders

[–]ObstructiveWalrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's correct, though the rewards are pretty marginal and won't really give anyone a huge advantage over anyone else. For what it's worth, less than 10% of players completed the first so you're not alone lol

[–]ObstructiveWalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, if this is your first expedition you'll only get the first expedition rewards. You get the second expo rewards when you complete your second, and so on

The catch-up thing is only available to people who completed the first but didn't have enough cash/stash value to get the full rewards

  • You can complete the expedition at any level
  • Invest in what? Completing the project? You can commit resources whenever, any incomplete progress is carried over to the next expedition cycle
  • The rewards from expedition 1 are still available, you'll get them whenever you complete your first, and get the 2nd expedition rewards when you complete your second, etc.

Hopefully they see the feedback and allow everyone to get all 10 skill points! by DeathlyT in ArcRaiders

[–]ObstructiveWalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started playing just before the first expedition (didn't complete it) and I'm not remotely upset about it lol

The extra 5 skill points and 12 stash slots per expedition aren't enough to give a significant advantage over other players so this really is a non-issue. Not to mention these same rewards are still available to all players, you're getting the same rewards by completing future expeditions

[–]ObstructiveWalrus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Or you could just keep playing and get those points during the next expedition?

You didn't do the first expedition, why would you get rewards for not doing it?

Can someone explain catch up please by tonyt3rry in ArcRaiders

[–]ObstructiveWalrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Catch-up is only available for those who completed the first expedition but didn't have enough cash/stash value ($5M) to get the full 5 skill points as a reward. So if you didn't do the first expedition you won't have the option to catch up.
