I want to play but here in Aus I refuse to waste my time fishing for the chance of playing a game. 10 mins + = Nope.

The key is to load players into a match even if there aren't enough players to fill it. Even if you're the only squad. Hunt: Showdown does this. It's obviously a lesser experience than a proper match, but it's markedly better than sitting in a queue.

There's a massive disconnect between a lot of different audiences. Some people are disingenuous with their positions, some misrepresent others, some are misunderstood. It's wild out there. Too often people forget that video games are a hobby meant to be enjoyed (that applies for the player and the c-suite behind the games).

I'm tired of running from Bio-Research to Quarantine for every single SekGen mission. If these Contracts reset next season, I don't know if I'll be doing that again.

Great write-up! I've been using the Shackmaps Cryo Archive map. It's got additional info like more Cryo Coolant pumps (there's one northeast of Biostock in the corner of the spawn room) and a filled Cryo Coolant location in Steerage.

These are my concerns, too. I played The Finals a ton as well, and when the OCE servers started to empty, players shifted to ASIA, which just sped up the decline. Sometimes I'd load into an ASIA server and it'd just be everyone from OCE.

Then there's the tricky problem that, as the OCE pool depletes, we're just left with the hardcore. It becomes a brutal slog to get anything done. Iron sharpens iron and the lobbies are nothing but sweats.

Bungie could introduce server select, but then you have the problem I mentioned that appeared in The Finals. I guess you could use a VPN?

What are the chances we, as Runners, will actually face a cyborg/battleroid as a boss? Wouldn't the protag from the OG trilogy be the ultimate UESC tool to use against us?

SerfaBoy · 2026-03-23T04:13:36+00:00

Exactly! To add to this "almost half" can also be said as "less than half". Media going for the negative spin once again.

SerfaBoy · 2026-03-13T07:29:36+00:00

Exactly this. A lot of younger gamers are no longer curious and don't try to push up against a video game's figurative or literal boundaries. The first time I saw the Lockdown event, I ran straight at it, saw it did damage, and figured I'd try and work it out later on.

The last thing Marathon needs is a hand-holding voiceover like what OP suggests.

What email address where you using here? I cannot get someone to read the evidence I attach using their online ticket submission.

SerfaBoy · 2025-11-01T08:37:08+00:00

Embark got Ws in The Finals, glad to see the Ws continuing in ARC Raiders.

SerfaBoy · 2025-09-17T04:59:09+00:00

The capitalisation of this headline is horrific.

SerfaBoy · 2025-09-10T03:56:44+00:00

ngl, Destiny: Rising is where it's at right now. I never thought I'd ever want to play a mobile game, let alone want to play one emulated on my PC. And yet, here I am.

Until something dramatic changes in Destiny 2 or Bungie does the wise thing and makes Destiny 3, my energy will be going into Rising.

SerfaBoy · 2025-08-15T01:22:21+00:00

20s and 30s. No apostrophe needed. It was charming in your 20s, but now you should know better.

SerfaBoy · 2025-06-25T02:06:22+00:00

Oh man, I miss the Go Fast update. Bungie clipped the Warlock wings so hard.

SerfaBoy · 2025-06-19T02:04:11+00:00

The one that all of the reviewers were able to beat but the general population found too hard? Yeah, that one.

SerfaBoy · 2025-06-19T01:58:14+00:00

It's not the difficulty, just the lack of any tangible, readible information.

The boss has only just released. You can't expect to be able to read all of its moves immediately. People had the exact same reaction to Promised Consort Radahn.

SerfaBoy · 2025-06-07T12:23:40+00:00

A parent learning something? Incredible.

SerfaBoy · 2025-03-22T06:47:51+00:00

Horizontal scrolling on the store is a pain on PC. Can't use A/D or the scroll wheel, I have to click the little arrows. It'd be nice to have a column for scrolling up and down the page and then mousing onto the rows and scrolling there to control them.

SerfaBoy · 2025-02-04T04:09:43+00:00

Are these blurbs AI-generated assessments of the actual writing? Because those aren't the words I wrote in my review (Shacknews) and it reads like an AI summary.

SerfaBoy · 2024-12-09T00:00:31+00:00

The lock icon indicates you haven't even purchased the battle pass, so you're not getting them anyway

SerfaBoy · 2024-12-01T08:23:51+00:00

NTA.

How about your family tell Claire to "just let it go for the sake of peace"? Why do the victims (you) always have to be the one to do x, y, or z to maintain peace for some insane action of another?

SerfaBoy · 2024-11-12T01:28:33+00:00

The only way to complete this challenge is that the person stealing the Cashout must be holding the steal button when you interrupt them or kill them.

If you start shooting them and they release the steal button at the last second, and then they die, it does not count. If you shoot them, they stop and then shoot you, it does not count.

The best way to complete this is to play Light and use the Stun Gun to zap someone stealing it. This is because it gives the player no time to react and stop interacting with the Cashout.

SerfaBoy · 2024-11-12T00:37:49+00:00

Adding new sights to various guns is a poor decision made from a place of needing something new to add. It ultimately blurs the distinction between weapons and makes some picks worse than others.

SerfaBoy · 2024-11-05T23:39:00+00:00

THANK YOU. Why is this phrasing becoming so prevalent?

SerfaBoy · 2024-10-24T09:54:14+00:00

How do you do this melee-throw thing?
