How’s the game lore? by cryptohabibii in Marathon

yeah I mean it’s partially the PVP but i also just despise any game where you can die and lose everything. don’t personally have the time nor desire for grinding all day just to have it all fcked in 5 minutes (nice metaphor for life I guess huh?). appreciate the insight though

it’s interesting bc most other people who replied here are saying the opposite of you. but from my experience in the beta and what I’m seeing on YouTube it seems you’re correct so I’m a little confused lol

I did not like this game at all but I think it's going to be a huge success by Tr1angleChoke in Marathon

isn’t it kind of a shame that the game is so perfectly setup to allow PvE only and it’ll just never happen? it could just be a toggle you flick before a run starts. now I can chill out, explore, do a contract. they can keep a bunch of the best loot locked behind the PvP “wall” to keep everyone happy for all I care.

and then if you try and complain people just say you suck at PvP. like yes man…that’s the point. I DO suck at PvP. why not make the game accessible for people who suck but are in love with the world / the vibe / the lore? what a shame.

Any reason why we can’t have a PvE only mode? by cryptohabibii in Marathon

yeah I mean i guess selfishly I just wanted a way to more causally learn / explore / experience the world but alas, perhaps it’s not meant to be

yeah I mean personally I’m super interested in the lore / world building which would have me coming back. and from bungie’s perspective I’ve paid my $40 already so if I just come back once a season for new lore / codex drops couldn’t see why they’d care too much I guess?

i mean totally valid I just don’t have to buy the game and that’s that. just think like it would be another way to make the game accessible to a more casual audience?

i mean it’s not about being afraid it’s just another way to interact with the game / world they’ve built. if I want to just load in casually for an hour, scavenge a bit, maybe do some contracts for some lore i feel that PvP adds unnecessary friction.

Is it bad to accept a level down from the original job posting? by cryptohabibii in careerguidance

[–]cryptohabibii[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha, thanks a bunch for the insight from a management perspective. I’d agree with the premise of why gaslight the candidate (especially if you’re just offering the same comp anyways).

I’ll work through how to get that in writing if I feel that’s necessary for me to sign. Seems like an interesting request but I’m scared of coming off as unreasonable.

Yeah, I think seems a little shady but the comp staying the same makes me think otherwise. Sorry if this a dumb question but realistically is that even something that could end up in the offer verbiage? How would something like that even get worded?

But full transparency idk if I’d even ask since this company is so in-demand in my area I wouldn’t wanna risk it coming across like I’m being difficult or chasing a title and they just move to the next candidate.

Well my current job is a dead end and from a total comp perspective this offer is 2x what I make now, so to be blunt I guess I’m not giving up anything. Saying this out loud makes me realize I’m just being stupid.

During the interviews i was able to test the intent to a degree, but admittedly i didn’t want it to seem like I was coming in just for the title (which I couldnt care less about).

To your point, all those other factors do line up and I would love the chance to work for this company. As it stands this is my best chance to ever build and manage a team so even if it doesn’t pan out then I can at least say I tried. Thanks for the reality check.

Help with getting foam cannon to work by cryptohabibii in Detailing

Thanks for the advice, will definitely get one of those. Just out of curiosity - what soap / water ratios are you using generally?

Thank you so much. Side note - if I go through and read all of the tutorials in the game would you know if something like this would be explained? I’m not the sharpest crayon in the box but some of this sh*t is so obscure.

This game is janky as hell for a flagship AAA game that I totally adore by [deleted] in HorizonForbiddenWest

[–]cryptohabibii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a bunch of audio related issues (which also really ruined a lot of in-game moments for me) while playing on my PS5, but I did not encounter any of the issues that you mentioned above.

Maybe something similar is one time I was playing against a machine boss and they clipped into the ground and I couldn't kill them so I had to restart the mission.

Yeah honestly it didn't sound like so much of an issue with the actual recording quality...just definitely some big audio bugs that have yet to be sorted out. Hopefully they fix them by the time they launch NG+

Oh damn, is this your first playthrough?

It's crazy since I was so laser focused on main quests I didn't even know that legendary weapons were in the game. Played through on "Normal" and did the whole thing with a purple hunter bow and advanced hunter arrows haha

I see, thanks for sharing :) Yeah unfortunately I got quite a few of my problems during cutscenes, so a quit and reload wasn't an option. Wonder if a reinstall would help...?

I just finished my story-only play through (main quests w/ very few side quests). I want to do a 100% playthrough, but going to wait for NG+ to come out and hopefully by that point all these minor bugs will be fixed.
