hitting left trigger unequips your item slot, so when you get shot in the face theres no ration there to save you

thanks for the heads up. i'm seeing news outlets acting positively toward the game, but I'm not sure how of much of it is "this is a good game" versus destiny Stockholm syndrome.

the fundamental plank of "shoot the same aliens over and over" hasn't gone away, what the expansion adds is progression systems that feel more rewarding and more frequently. so now it's a proper first-person/rpg hybrid instead of an fps with vague pretensions at being an rpg

for example, in the old free roam areas there are a bunch of aliens and you shoot them in batches of a dozen at a time to grind up a rep counter until you get 1 loot drop, then repeat this forever. in the new free roam area there's a place where you shoot aliens in batches of a dozen at a time to grind up rep, but each batch is immediately followed by a loot drop, and there's ways to power up the batch and loot by investing resources. also the batches aren't just a crowd of cannon fodder, there are boss groups each with different gimmicks to deal with

have you played it yet? because this is pretty important

the game is vastly improved but its up to you if yo uwant to plonk down the money but from everyone who is playing they are loving it (re: everyone: reddit and here) - i stopped after a couple months, just before dark below, came back for house of wolves when i heard about all the improvements being made and then they just put this out improving things even more

its a great game if you need an engaging FPS on the console

it was weird. NPR had a guty from forbes on to talk about the expansion coming out and that was it, it was basically just a press release.

i sent them a bitter tweet. that will show them.

that's probably the worst boss fight in the game since it's early on and you dont have many good weapons yet. if you're not going for the AI chips just aim for the AI dome.

if you ever fired any bullets except for the poonyan missions, ai/uma fights, and 2-3 shots on each vehicle commander then you were playing the game wrong
