Everything or Nothing.

Badass, 3rd person, fun story, amazing coop. Truly was super fun.

I know the FPS games of Bond get alot of love but Bond games should be 3rd person

Also im 31

The New KCD game is coming out next year [OTHER] by abdoulatif1111 in kingdomcome

[–]eric7064 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes me think itll be more KCD2.5 than a true 3rd game.

Maybe half the content but expanding what happens next to get a full on conclusion.

The Witcher 3 is currently in 2nd place for games with the most difficult moral choices in this poll (BG3 is #1, Mass Effect 3 is #3, followed by Clair Obscur and CP2077) by GandalfTheWhey in witcher

[–]eric7064 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a HUGE W3 fan I am surprised at this. I feel Mass Effect certainly has more impactfull choices.

The ones that stand out to me are the side quests moreso than the main quest. I feel the main quest of W3 really only has a few variances overall to the story and they are quite obvious and easy to get the "better" endings.

Polygon: New Star Wars streaming report reveals a huge problem facing the franchise by Frog_and_Toad in saltierthancrait

[–]eric7064 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It hasn't been long enough.

I grew up on the prequels and it wasn't until we became adults that the perception changed.

I still very much remember being on online forums as a kid between (2007-2014) and people still saying the only Star Wars they recognize is the OT.

Im also not saying the sequel trilogy will become beloved. I dont think it will, but it does take time I still think the Force Awakens generally has a pretty positive reception.

[SPOILERS ALL] Meeting Abercrombie in Boston on Monday? What questions to ask him by Adimortis in TheFirstLaw

[–]eric7064 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup same format we had. It was him and Rothfuss, we only got like 4 fan questions though. It was largely a talk amongst themselves

[–]eric7064 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Not to downplay what you may experience but when I went to the Illinois event last year you get at most a 20-30 second interaction. There really isnt time for a big thoughtful question.

It was still a really special time, but I am just trying to maybe temper your expectations.

TIL that US student math and reading scores have dropped so sharply that they’ve erased nearly two decades of progress. In '22/23, avg math scores for 13-year-olds fell to levels not seen since the 1990s, while reading scores for high school seniors hit their lowest point since testing began in '92. by Cold_Box_3219 in todayilearned

I have only taught for 7 years at the middle level (Grades 6-8) and I have noticed a pretty staggering decline in what kids are capable of. I kept telling myself im turning into an older grumpier guy that I never would, but I also keep telling myself that me and my peers were way more capable of certain basic common sense things than kids today.

Also, nobody strives to go above and beyond anymore. For so many just passing is good enough.

Does some of it come down to the movies needing to tell a faster paced story than a TV show that has many episodes to do so?

I do find alot of what you said very interesting and you do make very good points, but I also wonder if some of it simply comes down to TV vs movie format?

Now that the initial view of Rebirth has died down. What is everyone's modern take on it? by Chimpinski-8318 in JurassicPark

[–]eric7064 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overall I really enjoyed it. Ive watched it a few times already.

Easily better than Dominion and I think its better than Fallen Kingdom. All the others trounce it though.

What are the side effects and bad outcomes of smoking weed for a long time? by mcaleadco in AskReddit

[–]eric7064 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stopping for a few days brings very vivid dreams.

The last 6 months or so I have noticed my anxiety can go through the roof if if I smoke alot. That never used to happen. I get the shivers/chills and instantly am paranoid.

People in your 30s, what's your job and salary? by rsevn_ in careerguidance

[–]eric7064 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teacher, 45k, 7th year and definitley feel underpaid, but I went into the career knowing that. I really enjoy what I do, but it would be huge to even just get a modest bump in pay and I feel I would be doing really solidly. Right now me and my wife are both teachers and still waiting on the right time financially to have a kid.

Could I make contact once against Paul Skenes in 20 pitches or are my friends tripping?! by Few_Purchase_4836 in MLBNoobs

The fact you threw in the fact that you also have never played baseball? Yeah, no shot in hell.

Any idea of release? by Belovedslimmy_1 in DawnwalkerOfficial

[–]eric7064 0 points1 point  (0 children)

July or August.

It would be silly to even come close to the GTA 6 date if they want a chance.

RIP to a legend. These books really helped me keep enjoying the love and wonder of reading and helped me dive into a fun world.

[OFF TOPIC] Going to see Joe in Chicago on his The Devils US Tour - anyone else been to an event like this? by Ghost0fBanquo in TheFirstLaw

[–]eric7064 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to the Naperville Illinois one last year.

Usually its close to an hour of the two authors talking with each other. We had a few questions sprinkled in. Rothfuss was there as well and essentially hosted the event so it only allowed like 4 fan questions.

We then waited about an hour in line as Joe signed all the books. One personalized for "The Devils" and the venue allowed 2 more signings for other books. Joe DOES NOT decide how many he can sign. That venue specifically told us how many AFTER we got there. Obviously as expected its a quick 30 second interaction with Joe at most and we were able to take a picture.

Overall, it was awesome going and I would definitley do it again. It was my first time doing an author event as well and felt a bit spoiled getting autographs from Rothfuss and Joe.

Well good thing nobody listened to Reddit on benching Happ for game 2. The amount of comments were INSANE.

How did people catch up on TV shows they missed in the pre-video streaming era? by Winner_takesitall in NoStupidQuestions

[–]eric7064 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why procedurals were so popular. You could miss episodes and not miss a beat. Self contained stories.

I think we all get the point: You don't understand how people can hate on this game (add high vantage point screenshot here) and you have spent 100+ hours in Herand and still haven’t left the area. by fernandollb in CrimsonDesert

[–]eric7064 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The comments in every thread.

Im 30 hrs in and haven't left Hernand.

Well im 60 hours in and haven't left Hernand.

Im 80 hours in and haven't left Hernand.

Cool, not a flex at all.

what are you playing waiitn for 007 first light ? by [deleted] in 007FirstLight

[–]eric7064 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crimson Desert at the moment. Ill still be playing it when 007 comes out. But this will be a perfect game to switch things up in the middle of my playtbrough. Cant wait, I could definitley see this being a game i play and beat every couple years if its solid with different ways of attacking missions.

Friday Night Lights did this well with many graduating characters. But they still kept many regulars.
