yeah much like Ubisoft, EA is firmly in my "don't loving believe their lies.jpg" filing cabinet. Almost everything they do that looks cool and good, they find a way to gently caress it all up

that being said I'd love a good Battlefront sequel, maybe they'll get rid of the stupid card system and let people actually climb into vehicles instead of warping into them from nowhere

and then there was only one left, an actual KO of no other character, just a red and gold Sideswipe, so I figured why not it was 20 bucks shipped. :v:

That is the best Sideswipe I have ever seen in my entire life. :allears:

I'll be honest, I must be the only nerd in the world that really doesn't want to play a Star Wars game...but from the perspective of the Empire!!! Like fine, TIE Fighter was cool, not trying to begrudge that, but I'd honestly just rather have a game in the vein of Republic Commando only with a Rebel squad. I mean I'd rather have Star Wars games that aren't more Battlefront, or made by EA/DICE for that matter, as long as I'm wishing in one hand and making GBS threads in the other.

The really baffling thing about Star Wars Battlefront is if they made the maps free and just made people pay for cosmetic stuff, it's still cosmetic stuff in a Star Wars game and that would pretty much be printing money. Instead they give you know maps, the community dies in weeks because the user base is split and they ending up making far less than they would otherwise. Like they'd rather bleed dry a handful of people rather than bleed a really large group of people a little bit.

Call of Duty has been doing it this way too. Everyone hates it, even the people that buy the map expansions. I would guess that even the developers probably hate it because it means far less people get to see their map packs and they know its fragmenting their playerbase. I can only guess that there is logic or data showing that it makes more money and thus it is the way to go so they're money-balling it despite the fact that it sucks.

Meanwhile Dota 2 has had one map for almost 20 years and is making money hand over fist via cosmetics and essentially purchasable quests.

As someone who makes bad decisions on season passes regularly, even I won't do map packs.

To be fair, it must be FAR harder to sell cosmetic items for generic shootmans than for LoL characters or anything Star Wars. With CoD I could see them not making as much with cosmetic stuff as map stuff, especially because it's yearly series

I think due to recent actions our idiot president has taken with China, the free shipping he used to offer is no longer available on most of them, but it should still be possible to get all of it for about 130ish shipped I believe.

Yooka-Laylee is very much a Banjo-Kazooie game with worlds that are like six times larger. Which is pretty much exactly what the kickstarter promised. And I only paid $15 for it. Everyone is getting butthurt over the fact that it has delivered exactly what was promised and nothing more, so it's essentially a N64 era platformer with smoother edges. Then they say, "just go play banjo-kazooie again" to which I respond, "No that game looks and plays like boiled rear end now and I don't want to dig out the cables again."

yooka-laylee isn't, like, a bad game but banjo-kazooie honestly does feel like it has a lot more care and polish put into its design

even as someone who thinks yooka-laylee plays better than banjo-tooie, i still kind of agree with saying tooie nails atmosphere and presentation better

From what I've heard, G2A doesn't share a cut of the profit to the developers whose games they're selling. Mainly because all the keys are provided by the community, and sometimes there's a deal with MSI and PayPal so they could be providing them too.

I don't fully trust G2A when it comes to buying game keys and not supporting developers...unless it's an EA game.

My thoughts on recent pages:

  • This year has been the most I've played my PS4 in all the time I've owned it, with like 80% of my time in the past three months all PS4 stuff. I played Nier on the PC otherwise it would be 100%
  • I got totally burned with Battlefront 1 and don't expect anything from this second one. I might rent it to see what that campaign is like.
  • I wish Valve, Blizzard and Riot would ban teams sponsored by G2A from competitive events

Edit: Holy poo poo of course G2A is also scum on every other front, apparently they have been avoiding paying the teams they are sponsoring and are also using their network for gambling on the same esports they have sponsored teams
