I was miffed about TWEWY Final Remix being the phone version until I realized I can just play the two joycon co-op mode by myself to play two characters at once.

I wonder how Anthem's coming along. *checks latest Anthem news* https://www.pcgamer.com/anthems-conversation-system-allows-for-two-dialogue-choices/ quote:When asked why the system was simplified for Anthem, executive producer Mark Darrah replied, "We are showing this to an audience that is not used to these kind of decisions and conversations. We wanted to keep it simpler, but we also don't want to present you with any false choices." Ah. The revolutionary design choice to prevent false choices by taking away choices, mostly because you think the audience is too stupid to understand things like "decisions and conversations".

When the creative force behind Anthem literally died, I gave up any hope of the game even resembling good. Bioware has gone the way of all previous EA acquisitions.

Pinball is very good. I missed a cookout/tournament yesterday at a private collector’s place because I have too much going on at the moment. On pinball maintenance, my understanding is that it’s a little like working on a car: highly self-serviceable with lots of guides available, and while bringing a neglected table back to its old glory could take a while, once you’ve got something that’s been refurbished (or new) there’s not a whole lot of constant fiddling required. The tables need cleaned very rarely, since there’s not a lot of dirt that gets introduced to the system, and having a slight patina is one of those factors that can change how one copy of a table plays differently from someone else’s copy of the table. My haunt has a Metallica table they cleaned up for a stream and after they cleaned the table the ball would just scream around and it started getting a little more English than before. If you own a table you’ll have to cultivate at least a small amount of technical aptitude, since eventually a servo won’t be as responsive or a ball will start getting routinely stuck somewhere, but I hear a lot of stories about people who knew next to nothing being able to learn almost everything they need from Google.

b_d posted:people keep saying destiny is about to be good and then getting disappointed. wait and see imo This was actually correct when The Taken King was about to hit. Shame about all the other times. It sounds like they're making the shader situation a little better? Still a lot worse than Destiny 1 but

I like how scared and defensive the Anthem subreddit is after the dialogue news blew up. "Uhh uhh Bioware are expert devs guys TRUST THEM they know better than you" "Gosh stupid greedy gamers don't tell them how to make their game" "EA wouldn't kill such a big name studio"

I mean on the one hand I think devs should make what they want to make, but on the other the sheer number of dumb dumbs crowing "why would you ASSUME BIOWARE was making another RPG???" and seeing them put all their eggs into this years-too-late Destiny clone with Iron Man suits makes me all but certain the company will either be shuttered when it fails to meet expectations or assigned to work on terrible mobile games down the road instead of actual big budget titles.

If nothing else all the worry about Anthem has convinced me to hurry up and finish what I want to do in The Old Republic because if the game tanks you know those servers are going down. In unrelated MMO news, Tera is doing server merges (fine) but unlike pretty much every other MMO ever they're not letting players keep characters made on both servers if the number exceeds whatever limit the player has upgraded to, so they're actually telling players to delete their own characters to prepare. Not a good look at all and I honestly can't believe their PR people let that happen since I doubt any MMO would want to be known for being the first to do poo poo like that.

You beat the bad guy then they set you loose to do a thin set of repetitive junk, because making content for games that look this nice is too slow and expensive

Chev posted:"technically"? Were they perchance but-the-adventure-goes-on bullshit, as they'd probably need to be in a game that wants you to play expansions? To be fair I only played the base game and the first expansion and their endings were no less vague/bad than a Mass Effect or Dragon Age ending where the big bad is dead but they have to leave it open to future content. There are a lot of reasons to hate on Destiny 2 but I never felt like that was one of them since every game/TV show/movie does it. Like they're all *Heroes together after final battle looking tired but victorious, looking over a vista* and then right before or after the credits a stinger where they tease the next big bad.

As far as Destiny like games are concerned, the Division 2 is going to be the best of the bunch by far.

I still think what they're doing is laughably stupid though. Server merges are a way of life in aging MMOs but the last thing you want to do is piss off the altaholic whales that have stuck with your game for that long thanks to having so many characters.

Destiny 2 has literally the same ending as Mass Effect 2 (you beat the bad guy in your neighborhood, good job, but outside the galaxy the real bad guys are waking up) so yeah, expect to see that in Anthem.
