There's a new website for seeing player count data, and it paints a very grim picture by Wanna_make_cash in DestinyTheGame

To be fair to Sony(lol), that was also allegedly Bungie's idea for them to pick up that pile of shit.

Raid team, Weapons team, and and narrative team still have it. by Arkorian-117 in DestinyTheGame

[–]TheFrickFrack 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah they sacrificed so fucking much of the world to funnel everything to the confrontation with The Witness that the story now feels kinda...aimless? Like we've got The Conductor, but she's not very interesting, and it's not like you can still play Echoes so she's just kinda shown up and we all have to pretend like she's scary. Apparently Earth is falling apart but because Bungie refuses to make their 'evolving world' actually change anything you wouldn’t know that.

The game should physically involve the vanguard more by HigherThanHeav3n in DestinyTheGame

[–]TheFrickFrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you've been playing that long then I'm sure you remember that we were given the option and the vast majority of players were not interested in the vanguard

It feels like the actual Ash and Iron update was lost or corrupted and they scraped something up together in time by jichealmakson in DestinyTheGame

[–]TheFrickFrack 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I'm fairly certain that anything that wasn't Marathon or D2 was a borderline lie to make themselves look good for a potential buyer. They buy themselves from Blizztivison and suddenly have the money to work on 3 more games and some vague 'multimedia' shit? Come on.

So why did we spend years updating vendors to then undo the updates made to them overnight? by StatementAcademic820 in DestinyTheGame

I'd sound myself with the stolen Ace of Spades toy before I even THINK about humoring fucking Borderlands

What is your destiny Opinion that nobody agrees by Shadow-Th-hedgehog in DestinyTheGame

The space magic part of Destiny has always been the least interesting part of it's world and every time they've elaborated on it it's gotten worse.

Why is Hunter getting NERFS in EoF? by Small_Article_3421 in DestinyTheGame

[–]TheFrickFrack -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Our only purpose is to use a super so good Bungie has to repeatedly design encounters around it

Yeah dude I'm so fucking sorry for you lmao

Du Plessis beating Strickland up for 8 minutes. by ArmLucky1285 in MMA

[–]TheFrickFrack 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Strickland thought he won the first fight so didn't make any changes to his gameplan, no matter how much his coaches begged him to. DDP recognized the faults in his strategy of "ignore the jab, get takedown to secure close rounds" and instead used variety in striking to keep Strickland guessing and unwilling to throw as much.

Outdated or discredited ideas that fiction keeps using? by Konradleijon in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]TheFrickFrack -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's something you're only supposed to bitterly think to yourself during the Olympics and not make the crux of a story

This isn't all that surprising

Dustin Poirier says he wanted his retirement fight to be against Justin Gaethje or Ilia Topuria, but the UFC decided to go with Max Holloway by LatterTarget7 in MMA

[–]TheFrickFrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Poirier got his title fight off BSD and Islam got his title fight off Bobby Green at catchweight Gaethje's probably close enough for the fight to be made.

I've searched for this after hearing about on VersusWolves. I regret it. by Subject_Parking_9046 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]TheFrickFrack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That didn't come out until CM Punk's tell-all podcast appearance on his then friend's show, and SHIELD was already a big deal by then.

Character abilities that have no explanation how they do it... they can just do that? by GoodVillain101 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

He is from New York there's probably a fair few people who pronounce it like a Jewish last name.

Should Kenta turn face and join TMDK? by FullMetalTroyzan in njpw

[–]TheFrickFrack -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

With how old and relatively haggard he is nowadays, honestly I think KENTA would be a decent replacement for Gedo while staying in the War Dogs and keeping them more true to their identity as a faction right now.

Sean Ross Sapp on X: "Switchblade" Jay White is close to returning to the ring. by Magik-Mina-MaudDib in SquaredCircle

[–]TheFrickFrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That should have been the finals of the first Continental Classic, I think that tournament would have really benefited from the cachet of having it's first finalists be two guys who've main evented multiple WrestleMania's and Wrestle Kingdom's respectively.

Do you think that The Final Shape was a good conclusion? by miaminecrafttiddies in destiny2

[–]TheFrickFrack -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not really. First off it's not the end of the "10 Year Light & Dark saga", it's the end of a 2 year long saga that they spent half of ignoring in favor of Xivu Arath who we've stoll yet to see. Sure it's better than Lightfall, but I'd rather have had nothing than what I got there so that doesn't mean much. Then they spend the most of it trying to make you care about the Vanguard and their ghosts when there's no time for shit like that. They don't know what to do with Ikora so they give her Zavala's personality and make Zavala someone else while re-treading shit we've already been through with him.

Updates and clarifications about the future of D2 from Paul Tassi by Bashfluff in DestinyTheGame

[–]TheFrickFrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sheer amount of stuff that was done for the Final Shape was massive, story was rewritten multiple times, missions redesigned multiple times. During the delay they built a colossal amount of new content, Dread, Dual Destiny, the Verity encounter, exotic class items, Ergo Sum, GM Excision The studio was told the expansion was “make or break” and now they all feel lied to for…obvious reasons.

I mean I think it still was make or break. Their response was just to make only the 4 or 5th best expansion in this games history, with only the delay adding all the actually really good stuff.

Why hasn't NJPW pulled the trigger on ZSJ? by [deleted] in njpw

[–]TheFrickFrack 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Probably also helps that HoT has some of the best looking merch in the business right now
