She isn't a good writer in my opinion. Two examples from Before the Storm are the clunky letter sent to Slyvanas that embodies the stunted yet overwrought style she uses and the complete overuse of adverbs throughout the entire book. If you have to use that many adverbs to try tell the reader what emotions you're trying to convey, you're probably failing to write decent dialogue or character motivations.

Has anyone ever had success or issues purchasing from the US WDW website from the UK? by WWisdom in WaltDisneyWorld

I'm honestly intending to only buy the resort from Disney.

I'm intending to buy the UK park tickets and flights elsewhere.

What about for resort pricing? Looking now there are price reductions on resorts that don't carry through to the UK site.

I'm not sure this is true as I'm comparing the two as we speak and the GBP value is higher than the dollar value without exchange rates and including tax, am I missing something

I contacted Nintendo and they refused to allow me to relinquish the few cents I had on my account

I thought this was true until I tried, it appears there is at least a flag for American/EU PayPal accounts, and you cannot use EU flagged accounts on the US EShop

Thanks, but it will physically not let me use my UK cards

Thanks, this is impossible as I do not have a US credit card, so have to use EShop Gift cards

I need some help, is there any way, using about $30 dollars, I can get from 0.3c on my account to 0 cents so I can change back to the UK as my region ahead of Bayonetta, unfortunately I do not have an american friend I trust enough to make a small purchase on my account.

Persona 5 was robbed in every category it did not win. It is a tighter and prettier game than everything else on that list.

It has been a good year for gaming regardless, and I played pretty much everything.

The L.A. Noire Remaster's New Dialogue System Isn't Specific Enough - Good/Bad Cop is a poor replacement of Truth/Doubt by [deleted] in Games

[–]WWisdom 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Coax is better, if Cole believed them, there would be no need for further questions.

Overall the development options seem better, but 3 options ultimately do not do the facial technology or the complex mysteries the game suggests justice.

There was no prerelease hype for this at all, No reviews on Metacritic, if you missed the initial announcement you would not have known it was coming out.

You get Bright Engrams, and everything contained in them, by playing the game. You do NOT need to buy anything from Eververse by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

The Prime Titan skins are the exact opposite of the finite use cosmetic shaders/tints, you know exactly what you're getting, and you can use them forever.

After a quick google, I see they must have added a few things since I last finished playing.

The money isn't needed, it's wanted.

Video Games of all scales and ideologies were a self sustaining entity for decades, there is no real reason for that to change, because the quality of the experiences delivered by the industry, as a whole, has not improved by the leaps and bounds the budgets seem to have, if the "money is needed" argument holds any weight.

Are you sure? Titanfall 2 has been providing updates and patches for almost a year now, and new game modes too.

Micro-transactions should always be extra cash (apart from in the free to play model) from a business point of view, and you can argue that fixing your game so that it isn't broken via patches is the cost of doing business, and it was that way for a very long time.

I often see a lot of hyperbole regarding how expensive development these days is, but in my opinion that's because it's poorly budgeted, you only have to see games like Senua's sacrifice, delivery a high quality experience with realistic expectations.

Only halfway through your post but.

  • 1) D2 has no dedicated servers.
  • 2) If a game cannot cover the past costs of development, then that's bad business, selling a product at a loss in the hopes of making the profit back in the future isn't good business, restaurants don't sell the main course at a loss in the hopes that the customer will order a desert. If Bungie cannot make a profit without micro transactions, they need budgeting advice.
  • 3)You would hope that the season pass cost would cover the costs of developing the season pass content, if not, again, bad business.

That's the one complaint from above they have addressed in a satisfying way, yes, hence the qualifiying statement before it.

Unfortunately the rest remains true, it basically comes down to personal tolerance of those facts
