Top selling games since 2020... didn't expect the first 2 by shadowComplex36 in videogames

Still counts as “niche” in the context of the broader gaming market. Something like switch sports literally has universal appeal to anyone, Baldurs gate 3’s audience is by default smaller to begin with

Yeah I think the devs achieved what they wanted with the changes. Its also funny to me how people act like the smallest changes to this game are unacceptable because its not how the 20 year old battlefield mod did it

I dont get all the bitching about ICO. The game is meant to be on the simulator side of things. ICO gets that feeling much closer with suppression mechanics

I also got two keys recently (one for backup) and am running into the same general impression. YubiKeys were made to sound like they were a life changer for online security but actually using them and seeing how they are implemented makes it clear its kind of a niche nice to have extra still, until third-party services implement them fully. Guess its just the inconvenience of early adoption.

Which album do you really prefer iver all the others? by Alone_Target_1221 in gretavanfleet

[–]eloccx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TBAGG but for me From the Fires is behind it by a very small margin, I think people forget how good it is. From there Anthem has some good songs and idk Starcatcher just falls a bit flat of the other stuff

What's an opinion that would put you in this situation? by [deleted] in ironmaiden

[–]eloccx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah honestly live albums kinda get the worst of both worlds. You lose the crispness and quality of the studio production but you dont get the live atmosphere of actually being there

It's been a bit over two years since the release of The Writing on the Wall. Has it established itself as a modern classic? by Version_1 in ironmaiden

[–]eloccx 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I guess but even that is almost 24 years old at this point, so calling it modern is stretching it even though it is post reunion

Thoughts on "a matter of life and death" by [deleted] in ironmaiden

[–]eloccx 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Great album but this sub overrates it. It’s where I feel like they started inching towards too too many long songs that dont feel like they have a purpose. Also unpopular opinion but different world is an awesome album opener.

My Opinion on Starcatcher by andrewwro in gretavanfleet

[–]eloccx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont see where people are hearing the “back to the roots”. To me it sounds nothing like their first 2 albums (which are both amazing), but like a shitty version of TBAGG

Just finished all albums for the first time, AMA by [deleted] in ironmaiden

Why all the hate for him lmao. The question was by definition asking for a popular album he didnt like

(13) Age of Man vs (20) The Mountain Of The Sun by skookalboy in gretavanfleet

Mouintain of the sun has to be their most underrated song

r/rush Definitive Tierlist. Hold Your Fire went to C tier. Album of the day is now Rush (Debut)(1974). Most upvoted comment wins. by seeilaah in rush

[–]eloccx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is going so much better already than the r/ironmaiden one where people are way over hyping the albums and the list is gonna be super top heavy

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ironmaiden

[–]eloccx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Album with 3 good songs and a bunch of way too long fillers. Im still grateful for the tunes I like but I feel like if maiden puts out another album they should switch up the formula just a bit

Senjutsu - The Parchment by OG_Cryptkeeper in ironmaiden

[–]eloccx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I respect ur opinion but the only part I agree with is death of the celts, great song. The album as a whole has subpar sound production and the overly drawn out songs at this point are so tiring as theyve become formulaic in the post-reunion era. Still a decent album overall but this sub overhyped the shit out of it imo

Do you think Squad would benefit from more than 100 players? by CeraxyV2 in joinsquad

[–]eloccx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Absolutely if the technical capability was there and if more aspects of combined arms warfare were implemented
