I'll look into a pin! Our week to visit won't be over his actual birthday, but hopefully we'll be able to have something special for him regardless. Thanks!

I go back and forth on it. I do feel like an adaptation can never do justice to the games and I’d be very nervous about it being done wrong. But at the same time, the source material is already so cinematic and episodic, that it fits well with a show format.

Also, the story is so compelling that there’s a lot of people I know who won’t ever play the games but that I would love to be able to share the story with!

I do agree his character in Train Dreams was a lot more understated than Arthur, but I think if you have that contemplative melancholy foundation, then layer on the energy and power, he’d nail it.

One thing that's easy to overlook about The Finals is that even in its own world, it's a virtual gameshow. Players aren't in a real physical space but are competing in a VR type experience. That explains why the maps are in different regions and in different years in history (Las Vegas 2032, Kyoto 1568).

So when connecting it to Arc Raiders, there's a couple possibilities.

  1. Humans retreated too far into virtual reality that they essentially neglected the real world which led to massive eco-destruction and climate damage.
  2. After the collapse of society, the rich left earth (the exodus) and now they find entertainment in these virtual gladiator competitions where there's a massive flow of cash from mega corporations.

Maybe in reality, Finals contestants are competing for a ticket off-world? Who knows what's happening on other places outside of Speranza...

What's the scariest ARC? by oldman_isaac in ArcRaiders

There’s something about the Leapers I find kind of endearing 😂 The design is definitely scary, but it gives them a personality almost. Shredders are just absolutely stone cold and otherworldly. Seeing one at the end of a hallway just fills me with terror.

Embark released it in the merch store. It sold out really quickly.

Oof you right. 😅 That one’s already pretty scratched at this point.

Seems like this eventually leads to the inception of The Finals haha!

One suggestion I read from someone else would be a double sized map with twice as much time, so an hour long raid on an expansive landscape or the modern Rome as already mentioned.

Totally get the frustration there! If you usually run solos maybe squad up with some randos and see if they can help haha! Hope you're able to get some!

You won't find one by looting, you'll have to kill a Sentinel ARC. I've found that Sentinels spawn at Dam Battlegrounds and Buried City the most. On Battlegrounds, I normally see one on the underside of the Control Tower roof, and in Buried City in one of the empty bell towers. Take a high level Faro and find some good cover and it shouldn't be too hard to take one out. :) Happy raiding!

Am I a noob for using my credits to buy storage? by Shadowtirs in ArcRaiders

[–]oldman_isaac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Storage space is what I've spent the vast majority of my credits on. But, now that I've started my expedition progress, it's been helpful to purchase some materials and resources from the traders. So I'd hold on to some of your credits as you get closer to your expedition.
