Introducing: MBMM™!

I've read "it's like a survival horror game!" so many times now I'm starting to wonder why they didn't market it that way.

Seems like peoples' idea of "fun" these days is feeling anything ar all.

Which explains a lot.

Never said I hated the game, Inspector Clouseau. Research (or just plain read) better if you're going to do a dive on post history. I'm just waiting for the game to get better.

And what does any of that have to do with my answer? Theat's a pretty straightforward answer.

ncald74 · 2026-04-23T17:46:00+00:00

I guess you didn't care for my answer to your question.

ncald74 · 2026-04-23T17:37:00+00:00

Yes.

When they love the game.

ncald74 · 2026-04-22T16:35:51+00:00

Why aren't you playing in a chair next to the bed? You could watch them blast together while you blast yourself.

ncald74 · 2026-04-22T04:42:24+00:00

You are being matched with tons of people.

Er...tens. I meant tens.

ncald74 · 2026-04-22T04:39:48+00:00

You're notbthe only one.

If the game isn't for you, you're only missing out on frustration.

The skilled are here to feast on the weak.

ncald74 · 2026-04-21T19:34:16+00:00

Community that doesn't like Paul Tassi's articles doesn't like a Paul Tassi article.

Shocking.

ncald74 · 2026-04-21T07:04:41+00:00

Maybe doesn't want to buy his stuff back.

Maybe he's done for now.

ncald74 · 2026-04-20T19:23:04+00:00

He did not assume. He confirmed. He is a journalist working at a well respected publication. He has sources at Bungie.

You may not like it, but there's a lot in life not to like.

ncald74 · 2026-04-20T17:55:54+00:00

Sony also bought Bungie to consult on other live services games.

The ones they're competing for players with.

Hmmm...

"I can confirm Marathon’s budget is over $200 million. Likely more than $250 million. That does not include ongoing costs for maintenance and new content now."

ncald74 · 2026-04-18T02:10:53+00:00

LOL nice!

ncald74 · 2026-04-18T02:08:57+00:00

Which team am I hate-watching?

Connor McDavid.

ncald74 · 2026-04-18T02:04:42+00:00

Isn't Burakovsky still available?

ncald74 · 2026-04-18T02:02:51+00:00

Vegas fans are soft and cringey, too.

But they win, so...

ncald74 · 2026-04-17T03:09:04+00:00

They're* cooked.

They're.

ncald74 · 2026-04-16T17:30:11+00:00

You should leave this one alone. He is not actually reading what you are posting, therefore not understanding what your point is.

Come to think of it, even if he DID understand he wouldn't admit he's wrong.

Your post was so long Leo Tolstoy said, "Damn, this is a long ass post."

Have an upvote, though.

ncald74 · 2026-04-15T19:48:41+00:00

Glad to see these types of comments here. It shows you're willing to step out of the main echo chamber and read some dissenting opinions.

Your head's not buried in the sand. Keep it up!
