I’ve always maintained that the first was a fine game that was tanked by the price. It was priced to drive gamepass subs, not sell the game. At $35-40, it would have been received much better, imo. Years later, now that it’s more appropriately priced, it seems to be more well-reviewed.
Unfortunately the second is going down the same path. It may take 5+ years for the game to be appreciated to its fullest (assuming no glaring issues), through no fault of the devs.
Can’t be. I was born in the 70s and I’m only what the fuck?
Wasn’t that long ago that people even had pet rocks.
For many people, “drugs,” with no other qualifier, is just short-hand for “illegal drugs.” Plenty of people who say they don’t use drugs also take prescriptions or OTC medications.
It will be interesting in the next few years to see where marijuana ends up on that spectrum. Still largely illegal (federally), but if that changes, will people still consider it a “drug” in the same way they do now, or will it fall into a separate category like drugs that are mostly legal?
IIRC James Cameron intended Terminator 2 to end the series. The monologue at the end was full of hope that everything had changed and the future wasn’t written in stone.
Then the studio saw dollar signs and shit all over the message.
Between “port” “starboard” “right” and “left” only two of the words have the same number of letters.
Left = Port
For the once per year I have to think about this, that’s my mnemonic.
The ninth wind is the strongest.
Bungie is a lot like Bioware in that regard: Some real bangers on the resume, but none very recently. It should serve as a reminder that companies don’t make games, people do. If the right people aren’t involved, or too many of the wrong people are, past successes are entirely meaningless.
Do middle names count? My grandmother’s first name became my mother’s middle name. Then my sister and her daughter also got that middle name.
After Monday and Tuesday, even the calendar is like, “WTF”.
TGI Fridays stands for Thank God it’s Friday!
Lol, they can’t even decide if “Friday(s)” is singular or plural.
Is a pile of ammo just off screen to the left?
Always eat your veggies first. I recommend asparagus.
Yeah, I don’t remember all the details myself, so you’re probably right. I was basically trying to support your thesis that Bethesda getting nasty over mods would be something entirely new and out of character. The only example someone could even try to point to had a bunch of other (better) explanations than “mod bad, Bethesda mad.”
For all their faults, Bethesda may be the most mod-friendly AAA studio out there right now.
I can vaguely recall a single instance where they shut someone down, and that was over re-used audio assets from an older game. That was almost certainly about contractual licensing obligations to voice actors.
If it makes you feel better, you probably also hold a stake in their direct competition.
Especially with a company that once decided they owned “scrolls” in any video game title.
FH4 and 5 are effectively MMOs. There is plenty to do alone, and the other players can mostly be ignored, but it’s still a shared world.
As soon as I graduated, ‘too many people are fighting for IT jobs, depressing salaries, meanwhile we’re paying plumbers $100/hour.’
That was 2001. Almost 25 years later, I recently paid a plumber $300/hour.
