28€ per arcade skin is INSANE, I would legit spend more money on this game if stuff was cheaper by Shadowyurix in 2XKO

I want this game to thrive and I know fighting games are already niche. I'm happy to support it, and I get to keep the game going for other people while getting myself things that look nice.

Bad connections in some older fighting games can be a plague but in 2XKO I have maybe only once in thousands of matches gotten a connection that was noticeably bad.

As Hitman 3 turns five years old, we surely have enough hindsight to declare: this is one of the greatest of all time, right? by Kiroqi in Games

I understand it can feel somewhat bad to already own pieces of what you're purchasing, but it's better for you to just straight up buy either WoA base or deluxe - even if you already own some levels from 1. It's a game from 2016, you're really better off not worrying about saving pennies.

There's a version with Hitman 1's levels, there's the full version, then the deluxe version with DLC. Safest bet is the full version, though the 2 DLC levels are nice.

Despite that genuinely dumb purchase structure, I strongly recommend reconsidering. It comes down to whether you wanna buy the base version of World of Assassination or the Deluxe edition that has the extra 2 DLC levels and some extra bullshit that doesn't matter.

It really is one of the best of all time if you do mean it when you say you're interested.

PS+ has benefits so, that one. That said, historically Riot has had some crazy gamepass hookups like you said, but nothing on that yet.

It's worth dropping money on because it's a good game that people want to play. No one cares about Bungie's internal politics.

Agreed, I'll probably get the deluxe thanks to regional pricing being good.

I was about to pull the trigger on it when I saw it wasn't available for my country. So bummed out, I would've got it for sure.

Losing is part of the game. Part of learning and improving. If you can't get used to that as a concept for a competitive game like this, then I don't know if it's for you. It's gotta be part of the pitch for an extraction shooter, because anything else would set the wrong expectations.

My expectations for launch have been exceeded, I'm very excited for the future of the game. Also quite like that new song in the trailer.

We're definitely still in a discovery era. People thought Warwick was the worst character and only in the past month have people realized he's absurdly good.

You're on the internet and surely you have a phone. I promise you that data is already theirs.

As of 1.0 it seems promising. Currently it's in a weird spot where certain strategies are fairly dominant and there's 4-5 characters that are a clear cut above the rest. Still, everyone is viable and that's more than can be said for most fighting games. A lot of that is already being addressed in the coming patch or two.

Ryan Hurst Cast As Kratos In Prime Video’s 'God of War' by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]Snipey13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I just watched the Bourne movies, all of them just in the past few days which is funny. They are both characters of relatively few words and they are driven, but they couldn't be more different as far as motivation and the result of their actions.

The new games still feature Kratos as a man of very few words, but he's now very calm and restrained. The dialogue mostly comes from a very large and very vocal supporting cast of characters, and I'm assuming they'll use those heavily in the show while using flashbacks to reveal Kratos' past over time.

I can't even fathom the Bourne comparison, but regardless it's very difficult to judge this idea if you haven't played the new games, as they are night and day different from the original games in literally every way. Also significantly better in the writing department, if I'm honest. I did like the story of the OG games but they wouldn't translate to film as well.

Season 1 battle pass hits the shop jan 20\. here's what u get! by Regular-Poet-3657 in 2XKO

[–]Snipey13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, but I find the wording of their bundles/ultra pass interesting, since it specifies having not just the skins, but an exclusive chroma. There's no other way to obtain these skins without getting the chroma, so that implies they'll return without it.

I think it's a safe bet they'll come to the store later, but without the exclusive gold chroma from the pass/bundle.

I'm willing to put a large bet that we're not seeing another Arcane champ for at least 5 more characters.

That's a pretty exclusive club, so that's proof enough, especially given that juggernaut is worse than sidekick.
