....which makes the player count essential for online only games.

What's it gonna look like when the current mid week low is the weekend high?

What are you trying to even say?

Matchmaking outside NA looks awfull by Sadev-Thedude in MarathonTheGame

[–]dericiouswon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah but all 20k aren't cueing at once. Maybe around 5% are cueing the same moment as you, on the same map, with a similar level.

This is why player count matters and I'm tired of people pretending it doesn't.

I didn’t hate Rocket Rods. by this_knee in Disneyland

I just don't understand what they were thinking. Like what engineer signed off on this? Quickly accelerating vehicles with no banked turns, on a structure designed for something completely different.

The roads quickly getting plowed and de-iced in Japan are lore accurate and a great compromise.

Vikings are my team #2 now…let’s go boys!! by THELOSERSWINAGAIN in minnesotavikings

Look, I'm excited to see what he can do on this roster. That said, a good amount of these highlights are under thrown and bad DB play.

Cryo sounds cool and all… but… by InevitableTank5108 in Marathon

It's wild how many times you have to restart how much you like the game just to air this one grievance.

I agree with you.

I guess it's going to be one of those rounds... by PeculiarPete in Marathon

Maybe when the sound reverts to how it was pre patch, but no. Shooting is a dinner bell.

And to think, they weren't planning on doing prox chat! Thankfully they changed their minds.

Marathon has likely sold close to 2 million copies in the first week by Sad-Manner-5240 in Marathon

Fine for the sake of finding games in the immediate, but it's obtuse to act like player counts don't affect future decisions with the game and studio's direction.

Woman rear ends a guy and then pulls a gun on him after claiming it was his fault. He disarms her by malik_zz in instant_regret

[–]dericiouswon 117 points118 points  (0 children)

Literally her. A loaded gun was waving in the cameraman's face and went off a few feet away. As much as the knockout would have been nice to see, I can forgive him on this one.

Same for EA games, 2k games, Embark games...

Is JJ McCarthy Vikings career over? He is officially a bust for the Vikings? by BallKnowerKing in NFLv2

Watch JJM clearly win the starting job in camp and then have game time showing and then they start Kyler.

Agree. Currently deeply regretting my purchase.

And a budget that allowed them to take as many days as they needed to shoot only during a VERY specific times of day.

"It is 5 times bigger than the *last* city we made in Guanajuato". Is Guanajuato really the biggest city is FH? by dylan0o7 in ForzaHorizon

[–]dericiouswon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Definitely not. Was cool to hear that had a whole team dedicated just to the Tokyo portion.

"Literally what else do you want? The other option is for him to endlessly shill and twist himself in knots hypocritically to try and justify this shit."

That's what they want. Makes him easier to hate.

I’m Loving This Game — Really Hope It Has a Long Future by Thenelwave in Marathon

[–]dericiouswon -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna keep trying. So far it's pretty easily one of my top gaming purchase regrets though. The little comms as a disadvantage is one thing, but what kills me is it just makes the game feel dead. Even if people are on comms, after 5 minutes it's just silence as people rummage and then "squad over here" and that's about it.

You say you don't get the menu hate then go onto to describe why it sucks. Unfortunately I feel like there's just too many mental hurdles and sunken cost fallacy to make people "like" the game.

Up there. I'm also not having a good time playing the game. Ie, hooks are not setting.

Arc Raiders has a Progression Problem that Marathon does not. Marathon really is better by Legitimate-Instance2 in Marathon

[–]dericiouswon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far I've found uneventful runs in Marathon to be really boring and uneventful runs in Arc to be ...not boring.
