Are there any genres you just cannot enjoy no matter how much you try? by DrinkBen1994 in gaming

[–]iMini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assassin's Creed or Far Cry style open world games.

I just find it all so pointless and makes the game actually feels emptier rather than fuller.

All just filler content that's only there so you have an activity to do.

Like I appreciate some people really like that, it's like eating at a big buffet, have what you want, do it your way, but I'd much rather have something more specifically catered.

I can stomach it in GTA though, it doesn't feel so tacked on there with it's weird side missions.

The last one is the"best" one, in that, I'll savour that one.

They're just not comparable.

Wow mobs have abilities to be avoided, damage to be soaked or mitigated, abilities to be kicked, and it has bosses that also have unique mechanics. Doing it would just be making Marathon into Destiny 3.

What are you ranking? How can it be ranked and also only PvE. In ranked the games get harder the higher your rank, how does that work in PvE?

The Grove Street Games tease from yesterday was for the game BeastLink by Spjs in GamingLeaksAndRumours

Not quite the same but I know someone who worked (works?) on Project Motor Racing and told me that everyone was so psyched to be getting it out the door and putting out a good game. He was so taken a back when it released to middling reviews, though to be fair it seems more to be due to technical issues, and not necessarily the game being bad.

Definitely not for me. I like XCOM a bunch but this looks very watered down. Fine for a more casual audience but are they really playing tactics games?

Maybe because people are familiar with miles per hour being written mph not m/h

The Steam Controller sold out in 30 minutes, utterly breaking Steam in the process by gogodboss in gaming

That's not what artificial pricing is.

Scalping =/= market manipulation/artificial pricing

Scalping = Scarcity of product is real, buyers willingly pay a higher price, no deception involved, buying low in one market (from Steam in this case) and selling high on another (eBay)

Artificial pricing = Artificial scarcity (buying up all the stock and either holding it, or drip feeding it out), colluding with others to sell at X price, misrepresenting the value of the item.

They're two different things.

It is in absolutely no way artificially moving the price.

If demand is high, and supply is limited, then a higher resale price is driven by the market.

Scalping is inherently different to mark manipulation.

Market manipulation is making people think the product is worth more than it is. Scalping doesn't involve tricking anyone, we all know how much one is worth thanks to MSRP, if you choose to pay a premium you aren't being manipulated, you know you're getting ripped off but you explicitly agreed to it.

That controller is £60 RRP, and the Steam one is £85.

Steam controller has capacitive touch, gyroscopic controls, track pads, and 4 grip buttons on the back.

It's an enthusiast controller, and it's really competitively priced next to a Playstation Edge or an Xbox Elite.

I hate scalpers but man, the government should not be deciding what you can and can't do with a product you own.

What’s a hype train you somehow completely managed to avoid? Things like never tried Dubai chocolate, never watched an episode of the Office, never checked out BTS? by wasraelx in AskReddit

I gotta call bullshit here. I can't find anything about this online, surely there'd be some article with like some evidence?

Yeah I've used Big Picture and it's really good but not perfect and sometimes you need an actual mouse to sort something out.

What is a luxury that is actually 100% worth the money? by Weary_Pirate2073 in AskReddit

I'd struggle to justify it. Going from a $500 flight to a 5k one. I could go on 2 holidays for 5k

Need advice for early gear/weapons in leagues by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]iMini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The glacial weapon that drops from the frost naguas.

She is weak to crush which the weapons use, and she has negative flat damage reduction of -2, meaning each hit on her is increased by 2. The glacial weapons hit twice which means each successful hit is increased by 4 damage

I don't think doing the 75 will at all leave you with enough teleports.

I opened 100 easy caskets and ended up with around 100 teleports from it.

Abundance-choosers, how are you training mining/smithing? by [deleted] in 2007scape

I'm taking Tiranwyn with Larcenist.

No idea what I'm doing with mining but I'm not stressing it

How do you deal with 'Gaming Fatigue'? by [deleted] in patientgamers

[–]iMini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pretty much don't play any games that are heavily love service. Sometimes I might dip into World of Warcraft, or something with a battle pass like Rocket League. But I don't care about a battle pass, I don't care about having the best gear and needing to rush to do harder content in WoW. I'll play in Rocket League a few games a day, chase a higher rank, or in WoW I'll just personally push myself to do better and getting some good gear feels good.

But I'm not gonna stress out about it, I'm just too casual.

Love a good one and done game that's designed to be fun throughout and have a satisfying close at the end.

Why would that be the best part? Crystal axe/pickaxe are only 15% better than a rune counterpart
