I took advantage of the Steam sale to get like a $100 Warframe bundle for only $40 and I feel like I spent most of it on cosmetics

You can definitely revive players in fortnite so I din't know why people are calling it a respawn thing.
that's a down but not out thing though, apex has that but also a mechanic where you can grab their dogtags or w/e and take it to a respawn point to call them back into the game even after they've died

That's the best thing to spend cash on anyways since building everything else is like the whole game. Slots for frames and weapons are good too though.

I bought one of the $100 packs in Warframe six months ago and it came with so much digital currency I have yet to spend it all.

Warframe in general is pretty ok with how much it charges for poo poo I think, especially if you're a bit patient and wait for a sale.

I spent a total of $40 and I have like 1000 hours played and have 95% of the weapons and warframes built and in inventory. Warframe also isn't a "real" MMO though, it has a local lobby and all the actual pve gameplay happens on player pcs and then the game dials the database server and tells it what happened when mission ends, only p2p and the big player hubs are hosted on their hardware, which are both incredibly minor parts of the game.

The tweet doesn’t mention this, but Samus playing a cello in the NES version of Tetris is a reference to the classic NES game Metroid (1986), in which the player plays the role of a bounty hunter named Samus Aran

Apex Legends is pretty fun and I'm not really a huge fan of BR games either. Y'all should give it a chance.

We'll see how it goes, but the launch has been HUGE from what I'm hearing. Lots of positive chatter.

Yeah it's incredibly, insanely fun and honestly I'm glad there's only one straight white dude in it. Cynical inclusiveness is still inclusiveness, and nobody can read minds so it's not even a given that it's cynical. I hear queer people are everywhere, even in this very thread :ninja:

Double bass is about 6 feet long vs. 4 feet for a cello, and Samus' canon height is 6'3" + armor so yeah you're right. Very disappointed in this journalistic malpractice on the part of SMB.

Possibly, though it would probably have loot boxes and pay-for-power MTX if it was. As it is, Anthem is not free to play, but (for now) has no loot boxes and only plans to sell skins, emotes, and stuff like that. They also plan on all the content/story updates being free instead of being paid DLC, so... yeah, good luck with that.

I really want the game to succeed because I think the core game is a lot of fun, but it has absolutely everything else working against it, including its own release schedule.

My guess is that Apex Legends has been ready to go for awhile but they were holding it back to not crowd the demo/release period for Anthem. Then they took the auspices re: Anthem and thought why bother. I wanted Anthem to be good but it isn't and I wouldn't be surprised if it never gets there. You know things are bad when the community starts pinning its hopes on a "dev build" or day 1 patch.

They shut down Guitar Hero TV without enough of a warning, which contained most of the content of the game.

tfw you get tom clancy's the division from the humble monthly because you wanted to get the pc version of yakuza 0, and then they discount all the tom clancy's the division DLC 90% so you just buy all of it and start playing a lot of tom clancy's the division

Eh, I mean, there are definitely visible improvements in the launch build that weren't in the demo fork (like a social hub, a squad UI, etc., things we've actually seen in preview videos), but there are also a lot of things that we're just being reassured will be better with no real evidence.

That said, even if every single bug from the demo is fixed (which it won't be), there are bound to be bugs in areas of the game we didn't see in the demo, new performance issues, and the issues with the game's godawful UX are big enough that it'd take a year of concentrated patching to fix.

I think the core game is fun enough to give it a shot even with those issues, but I'm also not paying full price for it at launch so :v:

Really I'm more concerned about bad UX, issues with the mission and map design, and things like that than I am with bugs and performance issues. Bugs can be fixed a lot more easily than core design and UI issues.

I really wanted to like Anthem but the demo was so underwhelming. I got a key for the beta of The Division 2 and everything went fairly smoothly. It felt way more complete than the Anthem beta. I WANT Anthem to be good because then I have another good game to play but I'm definitely waiting to see what happens.

Watch the layoffs bump activision stock up massively.

Also EA's stock has been INSANE in the past week because of how many people have played Apex Legends so far. I feel like they released it specifically to counter their poor Q4 earnings.

I'd argue that it's worse, because they still don't view you as a person but it's important for this market demographic so put in a lesbian or two and call it a day.
