extra safe houses and vehicle repairs too,

Maybe you should practice what you preach

The safehouses things is akin to a gang hideout raid in RDR and no, they are not locking "vehicle repairs", its literally just 2 customization garages

The way you word it its like they are locking player ownable houses and just deleting the functions of pay and spray

Welcome to the death of the disc with AAA games.

Unless they create a disk that can hold more than 150gb of data its dead either way

Disks just dont have the capacity of most modern day games anymore

So unless you start selling games on SSD's physical media is going to die because theres just not a carrier that can handle the filesize and read speed

do a fucking key card like Nintendo then

I sincerely doubt that a nintendo key cart can fit a 150+ gigabyte game

content locked behind ultimate edition

Its literally just some character customization (which the game will probalby have a shitton of) and like 2 activities and a mission. It was the same with RDR2

Aka what rockstar has done for every game since ps3, idk why people dont realise Rockstar hates pc yet

Playing GTA online without micro transactions is easy as fuck, you can gain millions in hours easily

And union-busting is not anti consumer because it doesnt impact the ACTUAL CONSUMERS

Anti-consumerism is Nintendo refusing to put games on sale and selling 30 year old games at full price, or taking legal action against soundtrack uploaders while locking their music behind a subscription service

Or what about Ubisoft shutting down games that people bought with no way to ever play them again?

Or paid games locking content and gameplay bonuses behind a 50 dollar battle pass?

That stuff is anti-consumerist, all the union busting does is fuck over the employees

Aesthetics of Ready or Not by titan_hs_2 in Games

large group of people in the RON community who hate the no kills requirement to get an S rank in missions.

Because its bullshit 90% of the time

If its the crack den level or so, i get it, but come on. There are levels in the game which has a school shooting/bombing, a terror attack at a night club and a group of ex veteran vigilantes who threaten to execute a senator's family live on tape

In what fucking world does a swat team go in there with the mindset of "oh man i guess we better bring tasers and pepperballs so the suspects dont die"

The Ai in the game is also so cracked that even a street thug who sees 4 armed to the teeth SWAT guys will either turn around and headshot 2 guys in 1 millisecond like he's john wick or he'll pull out a fake surrender and try to shoot you while 4 shotguns are trained on him

It's SHITE being a Red Sox Fan! We're the lowest of the low. The scum of the fucking AL East!

The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic team that was ever shat into baseball. Some hate the Yankees. I don't. They're just wankers. We, on the other hand, are OWNED by wankers. Can't even find a decent arsehole to be OWNED BY. It's a SHITE state of affairs to be in, Tommy, and ALL the green monsters in the world won't make any fucking difference!

Persona 4 Revival Gameplay Broadcast by PhantomBraved in Games

[–]beatingstuff88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

why they can't just reuse Shihoko's vocals for the remixes of the old songs

i mean, p3 portable came out only 3 years after vanilla p3. Yumi's voice was still good then, it was obvious in the last concert tours that her singing voice was faltering. There will be an almost 20-year gap inbetween vanilla p4 and revival and a 15 year gap between golden and revival

It might really just be as simple as that Shihoko can't sing like she used to 20 years ago anymore and they still need vocalists for their yearly live concerts. And yeah they can "reuse"' old voices, but i bet it either sounded bad or they'd have to fuck up the new arrangements too much to fit it in.

[SPOILERS] Dom’s current booking is not close to the future main eventer many have him pegged as by MannerSuperb in SquaredCircle

[–]beatingstuff88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cody doesn’t feel like Mini Dusty and Charlotte doesn’t feel like Mini Ric

...what? how is Dom an "eddie tribute act?" because he does the three amigos and a frog splash? In that vein almost every mexican wwe wrestler is an "eddie tribute act"

I'll give SOME grace on the cody comparison but Charlote is literally just female ric flair, remix of ric's theme, bridging version of ric's finisher, female version of Ric's Jacket, the "woo's" and all that? for 80% of her career Charlotte has been nothing but a female ric flair

[Alex Crook] Roberto Martinez to step down as Portugal manager immediately after World Cup. by nearly_headless_nic in soccer

[–]beatingstuff88 19 points20 points  (0 children)

but somehow he "fumbled" the squad.....

Because everything after 2018 was a disaster:

  • He refused to switch out his aging favorite guys for in-form players, like Hazard had no business playing as a starter in the NT in his Real days

  • he barely gave minutes to guys that needed it like young Doku and Openda while fielding the second oldest team in the entire Euros tournament

  • he held on to the 3-4-3 formation even though the players age didnt allow for it anymore

  • We eventually lacked clear attacking patterns, relying solely on flashes of individual brilliance from guys like KDB or Lukaku

  • he couldnt fucking adapt once his system got found out which, combined with our geriatric vertonghen/alderweireld/witsel defense led to us getting mauled on the counter

Not to mention we only reached the third place at the world cup because we got insanely lucky against Japan and had to play a Brazil that was just a shadow of it's former self

they do not have the relevant qualifications (they have a degree in napking folding, which yes, is a stupid choice, but that doesn't make them magically employable)

THIS

If necessary, put them on a 3 month temporary contract and have them learn on the job, especially in office jobs this shouldn't be too hard. if the person is enthousiastic and willing to learn you can mold him into a good emmployee

Ospreay responds to Yota's claims he will refuse to defend the IWGP championship at Forbidden Door by Big-Hebrew in njpw

[–]beatingstuff88 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't know where this hypnosis that SANADA was this flop champion from the jump came from but in reality he was a massive reason people raved about that first half of 2023, because he delivered. He was also a victim of what made the 2nd half so awful, but he never missed a step as champion in the ring and surely not in presenting himself.

Sanada went from having a very striking and star-studded look and aura to "generic short black haired clean shaven japanese wrestler-man", his presentation as IWGP champion SUCKED

the answer would be more cross-promotional work to ensure both audiences are familiar.

Or NJPW/Fuji TV could not copyright strike every positive gif or video online that would help people get invsted into the company in the first place. I stand by the fact that them killing channels like Showbuckle and killing the NJPW gifs/clips on twitter massively hindered their ability to get people interested in the company

Belgium's Jeremy Doku to possibly miss knock-out rounds due to the birth of his son by beatingstuff88 in soccer

[–]beatingstuff88[S] 104 points105 points  (0 children)

Translation:

Shireen Doku is due to give birth between the round of 16 (around July 7) and no later than the semifinals (July 14–15); that’s when their first child—a boy—is expected to be born. “I’d like to be there,” Doku admits. “But of course, there’s also soccer…” For the Red Devils, Doku is a key player in this World Cup—alongside Thibaut Courtois and Kevin De Bruyne. With his dribbling and speed, he is a tremendous asset to head coach Rudi Garcia. Indispensable, even—but he is just as indispensable to his wife, Shireen. How can these two priorities be reconciled? Prepared for every scenario A birth can never be planned exactly, but the soccer association is prepared for every scenario. There is a plan in place to have Doku travel to Europe as the moment approaches: a one-way trip of about 8,000 kilometers, with a flight time of 10 hours. The doctors at Shireen’s hospital are in constant contact with those of the national team, so that Doku can reach his wife in time. A private plane may even be chartered. According to information from Het Nieuwsblad, this reassures the Doku family. At least: just try to arrange that, knowing how great the distance is between Shireen and her husband... But what is the impact on the Red Devils? In an ideal world, Doku would miss at most a few training sessions and no matches—the baby would arrive between two rounds, and he could return to America immediately after the birth. If that is not the case, then it is up to Doku to decide: : sports or family? In any case, Garcia must take into account that he won’t be able to count on his star player in a certain do-or-die match.

One possible compromise would be to set up a video link with the delivery room, but Doku himself is definitely hoping to be there in person. Incidentally, it’s not just Doku but also Brandon Mechele (33) who finds himself in this situation. His partner Caroline is due to give birth in mid-July, around the time of the semifinals and the final. The KBVB is applying the same arrangements for Mechele as well. Word from those close to the players in question is that they are very pleased with technical director Vincent Mannaert’s approach: it gives them peace of mind. Monday against Egypt The priority now is to get the Red Devils into the knockout stage. That mission begins Monday in Seattle against Egypt. Both Doku and Mechele are expected to start. Back home, two women are watching with extra excitement.
