When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

That's pretty much as dumb as them burning their Nikes over Kaepernick.

Calm down folks. Other people being stupid with a product you also have doesn't infect it by osmosis lol. If you feel that way please reduce your Online Levels for your own sake.

This reminds me that something like this happened all the way back in 2004 with WoW. Even developers can't figure out their own game.

I’d say the hero’s journey has been pretty successful as a storytelling device so far.

The Hero's Journey as an explanation or framework for most/all fiction is a discredited but still widely-cited theory.

The discredited part is that all cultural myths derive from it, not that it isn’t widely used and incorporated as a basic framework for a story, of which there are literally thousands of examples.

Man, at least when Anthem had some damage scaling bugs it only affected a gun and not abilities or anything, or that other damage bug where you had to lose all your survivability just to get more combo damage or ult damage every 30s or whatever. Imagine all your gun damage going up in a cover shooter from farming low level equipment wow sounds like clownshoes devs amirite lolroflmao :smuggo:

oh and there was that one guy who spent literally hundreds on buying every ME emote that anyone put in the thread, there were dozens of the drat things and it was $30 each

but that guy was the hero, if there'd been more people like him lowtax could've been a Mk IV CyberLowtax years ago

I know its verboten, especially in an Anthem thread, to talk about pre-ordering games, but NuWolf is absolutely my favourite franchise right now and I'll be pre-ordering the poo poo out of Young Blood when it comes out.

Chud stupidity is terribly depressing to me, I havent found it funny for over a year now. All those cretins vote.

ME2 is probably in my top 5 list. They nailed just about everything: characters, mission structure, gamefeel, story, etc. The only thing I remember disliking was the dumb resource scanning minigame, but everything else was golden. It helped that it was also the first game I ever played back in the day with good graphics that actually ran on my piece-of-poo poo PC. To this day, I'm still not sure how the hell they managed to optimize it so well.

The entire ME2 resource scanning thing was very close to justified as the setup to being able to probe Uranus. Not quite in totality, but very close.

I'd also argue Miranda "my dad genetically engineered me to have a perfect rear end" Lawson was a bit ridiculous. Decent character overall, but her backstory was very ugh. Also, her uncanny valley face. Yvonne Strahovski is very pretty, but they did a real bad job of putting her face in the game.

If you speak with EDI about it post-game she speculates that the Reapers resemble their host species in the larval state until they mature into a more uniform cuttlefish-like appearance.
