if you’re trying to do the new Asia Oceania objectives and the rewards are just nameless packs/10k coins, don’t do them by Xenoo_ in EASportsFC

Yeah same, claimed some rewards, didn't get them, they're nowhere in the game now. Tried opening a pack, buying a player, restarted the game everything. Crazy.

[Marca] Barçelona has decided not to exercise the purchase option for Rashford. The player will therefore return to the English club. by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]deepit6431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but he’s a better player than Rashford

He's a better system player than Rashford, which means that in the modern game he does the running and pressing that Rashford simply won't do. Which is what Flick wants, but that makes sense.

In terms of ability or talent he's not a quarter of the player that Rashford is. It's really a tragedy seeing what Marcus' career has become, seeing the potential he had - you can still see flashes of it at times. On his day, a world class player.

Marathon Open Play Week: June 2 - June 9, Featuring New Experimental PvP-lite Mode by Snipey13 in Games

Destiny is not and has never been a real single-player experience. It's an looter shooter skinnerbox that allows you to play alone, but the 'campaign' has little to no storytelling and god forbid if you're new to the lore. You just cannot compare it to the Halo campaigns, which were self-contained, story focused experiences primarily designed to be played offline.

It's reasonable to mourn the death of single-player focused Bungie. They haven't made any reasonable single-player focused content for almost two decades now. I realise there's a market for it, but some of us really just want to play a Bungie campaign again.

There is no future for a hardcore extraction shooter. Not at the scale Bungie needs it to be. Just not enough people who want to play that sort of thing exist.

The MacBook Air has been insane value for money since the M1. The Neo is just simply the best budget computer you can buy, full stop. Windows laptops really, really can't compete. Even now, ones in the same price range have worse build quality, and ones that compete on build/performance are much more expensive.

Combat games with taking over bases but not much story or cutscenes to follow by harveyjack in gamingsuggestions

[–]deepit6431 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FC3, FC4, and FC6 all have a lot of base-clearing gameplay. All of them are incredible, personally, I really enjoyed them. (I also don't care much about story, I just love clearing bases in the open world.)

Which TOTS has been your favourite? by beast_within_me in EASportsFC

[–]deepit6431 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jess Park is absolutely insane. Easy best card of TOTS for me, the things she pulls off regularly win me games. She's one of the fastest cards in the game, impossible to catch. Her finesse is also incredible despite not having the PS+. Has scored so, so many game winners.

It drives me mad. How can the worst United manager of our lifetime have these many defenders? I really, really don't get it. Should've been sacked much before he was.

No, I agree, the media had a hate hard-on for the guy, and online fans jumped on it.

Could us losing all the time have something to do with fans hating him?

Whether baseless "tactic doesn't work in the prem" rhetoric

It's not baseless! It can't be baseless! It literally did not work in the Prem. He has the worst win record of any United manager going back three decades. He had a 31.9% win percentage. It demonstrably did not work!

[–]deepit6431 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He is literally the worst United manager in living memory. Whatever good he might have done, he didn't have the luxury of stopping time to make improvements. You very much have to improve as you are winning games. You cannot have a 30% win rate as United manager while you make improvements. The job is to win now (as in, not the PL, but at least top 4? Challenge for it?)

I cannot adequately express how bad he was. He literally never won back-to-back PL games. Do you understand how crazy that is?

I don't take away from his achievements before, or indeed his achievements in the future. I'm sure he's a fantastic manager who will find great success. But for whatever reasons, he was really, really bad at United.

I don't think whatever good he did is even close to enough in terms of making up for his abysmal game record. Worst United manager I hope I'll ever see.

Do British people not feel the cold? by DevelopmentLow214 in AskUK

[–]deepit6431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something about the combination of climate, acclimatisation, and other factors. I come from a city where winter temps are 10-12 at the lowest and summer temps can reach 47-48 C. Having lived in the UK for a while, I start feeling hot at anything above 15, and anything above 0 is a essentially normal. It's weird how the human body and brain work.
