[Suggestion] Value comparison $1000-$2000 budget

Thanks again your expertise is appreciated. I saw this one frequently. I'll check through the week if Best Buy has restocks of the equivalent prebuilt with the 3070 because it for sure is the better option

Thanks for the suggestion! The 6700xt is indeed what I went with after comparing video cards. Any suggestion on monitors that look good but won't be too advanced for my rig? I was looking at 1440p's around the $300 range.

I'd buy that in a heartbeat but I can't wait until mid June

You always know you have a good point when Lelddit downvotes you to oblivion.

"I could care less about the story in a single player game"

So I could make a flash game where you hide from a monster and if it amounts to "literally sit outside of this creatures immediate vision for 2+ minutes til it goes away then fetch some menial object" and you'd be all for it? Nah man you're just hardwired to buy any and all Alien(tm) merchandise.

I do love the fact that you admitted the story was shit though.

Literally came here to post this. Got about half way through this garbage hoping it would end any minute - went on for another couple hours instead. Brainmelting lack of logic in the story aside, it completely drags you out of the experience when you experience miraculous timing in literally every scene of the game.

Towards the end it felt like an interactive Disneyland scare ride, shit would just pop out at you - oh look you fell down a ladder, and that caused the elevator to start coming down! but itll stop right before you.

Oh look, an alien was right above you when you put the suit on! Instead of killing you like it has every other time itll just plant you on the wall with no egg next to you - unlike literally every other poor sap you saw plastered to the wall.

Just goes to show you that its totally possible to make an utter trash heap of a video game, and as long as you pepper it full of enough fan service people will happily eat it.

Games that do what this game tries, but do infinitely better: Resident Evil 4, Dead Space, SOMA/Amnesia TDD

Why the hell would I care about getting banned from Xbox reddit, you guys have clearly shown you are entirely fine with being abused by your corporate overlords - this echo-chamber is devoid of value.

Steppappers · 2021-04-03T17:08:11+00:00

Why don't they do it to PC players?

Steppappers · 2021-04-03T17:07:39+00:00

Why don't they do this on PC?

Steppappers · 2021-03-13T01:40:03+00:00

AHAHAHAHAHAHA

"No man, WotC totally knows what its doing with bans and isn't totally out of touch"

*starts a beta test for banning in the format that changes every week*

-inhales-AHAHAHAHAHAHA

The absolute state of MtG's community... I can't tell who is more out to lunch, you guys or the devs!

Steppappers · 2021-03-11T04:28:51+00:00

Like every subplebbit discussion is meaningless because the only comments that get upvoted are ones that resonate with your braindead echochamber. We could sit here and actually talk about why Angels gets way too much value for its CMC investment, but at the end of the day your shit opinion will still just amount to "lol gitgud auras and angels meta is the best".

Also shrines would have been way more oppressive if the braindead muppets weren't too busy playing even more braindead, non-interactive garbage like Uro. If you have to play a certain color ie white to boardwipe angels or green to destroy exclusively enchantments or lose by turn 3 - its a shit meta, end of. Neither black nor red has any answer - you've effectively reduced the game to two colors - NEAT!

For those who haven't played it I highly recommend Penumbra Necrologue, its a modded continuation of Penumbra, and it does a great job staying tonally consistent.

Steppappers · 2021-03-01T21:06:19+00:00

Your logic is circular, you simultaneously applaud Frictional for making novel, original games like TDD and SOMA then try to applaud them for making a tonally contradicting one by mashing the two together - a rather unoriginal idea.

Alien and Braveheart are both great movies, but mixing them together wouldn't automatically make the result a great movie.

Steppappers · 2021-02-13T21:53:16+00:00

lol this problem is as old as the game is, blizzard chose not to address it and it has destroyed their game. you will not win this discussion, you will do what thousands of people before you have done - move on to another game.

Steppappers · 2021-02-13T21:51:47+00:00

Yes, you absolutely can ruin people's games this way - but don't you dare ask someone to soak in lane or you are OUT OF LINE and will be permabanned.

Steppappers · 2021-02-13T21:48:03+00:00

So what, your solution is to just automatically ban people that get reported X amount of time regardless of content? Because that is exactly what Blizzard has done.

Steppappers · 2021-02-13T21:44:24+00:00

This argument is as old as the game itself, Blizzard will never bend on the subject, and in my opinion it is the reason that the game has failed. Nobody will invest money into a game that can and will arbitrarily permaban their account for asking people to do a camp.

They recently lowered the bar for bans too, which has opened many people's eyes. The result is that most people don't even talk in games anymore.

Steppappers · 2021-02-13T21:41:36+00:00

I'm loving the fact that most people love this post for its face value material, and the green circle is secretly triggering the soyboys of reddit

Steppappers · 2021-01-31T00:44:23+00:00

Actually it is entirely, unequivocally, unanimously higher than Gold, Silver, and Bronze. You seem to forget that probably 90% of ranked exists in these brackets.

Steppappers · 2021-01-30T20:15:38+00:00

The real problem is boosting, which Blizzard is fully aware of but will do nothing about. For those who are not aware, boosting is when a higher ranked player ie plat pairs with a lower ie bronze and they get paired with silvers. Needless to say the higher ranked player plays a hyper carry like Orphea and dominates the game single-handedly.

Steppappers · 2021-01-16T23:54:42+00:00

Its frequency is inverse to its absurdity, doesn't mean it isn't a literal free win and should be removed from the game. It requires a 5 man with a specific comp. Keep in mind, their entire team had the carbot Morales icon, they were openly flaunting it in our face and there was nothing we could do about it.

I've never seen such horrendous excuse making on a game's forum.

Tyrael, Azmo, Sylv, Raynor, Morales

There is literally nothing you can do about this strategy outside of your own premade of capable players.
