| Kaldrenthebold 02/17/21 10:51:18 AM #15 | Wetterdew posted... texas is faring worse than most states because the people in charge decided to eschew the united energy infrastructures of the east and west. On top of that, our houses and roads aren't built for this and we're getting floods due to burst pipes and now we are losing water also. I hope things get better for you. It was indeed a nightmare, and I need white noise to sleep so I was hot, sweaty and absolutely miserable. Meanwhile 5 minutes away my parents had power (I think they are on the emergency grid as they are close to a hospital). Eventually I just stayed over there instead cause it was too much. I live in a damn swamp so it gets real bad in the summer. Seriously, I wish you and your family the best. No one should have to suffer because everyone up top is just a greedy fuck that doesn't do anything to actually help people. --- |

Seriously, "don't have to worry about power outages"? Are they a loon? Literally last year a huge chunk of NJ was without power for a week due to a wind storm. During 90+ degree humid heat. Most states get recommendations on how to avoid a natural disaster in the future and then the power companies and politicians just simply ignore it. It is a fucking racket. --- |

Ideally this would push developers to less aggressively monetize their games. Probably wont happen, but the possibility exists.

I loved RDR1, so playing 2 and getting all the good backstory was truly wonderful for me. I recently just started listening to the sound track and Unless, TC beat it with low honor. In which case the ending is not as good. High honor all the way. --- |

| Kaldrenthebold 02/11/21 10:43:08 AM #8 | TendoDRM posted... Goldeneye >= Tomorrow Never Dies >>> TWINE >>>>>> DAD I actually think Tomorrow Never Dies has grown in relevance. A media mogul that is manufacturing terrorist attacks to drive up viewership and become a monopoly? That sounds quite salient in 2021. Just, when people talk about Brosnan TND is almost never ever brought up. It is "Goldeneye is awesome, Die Another Day sucks! TWINE is bad!" and then everyone forgets TND. I think both TWINE and TND get more dislike than they deserve. Die Another Day is the only one that is just actively bad throughout. --- |
| Topic | TWINE, bad film, or misunderstood and maligned? |
| Kaldrenthebold 02/11/21 10:24:58 AM #6 | Die Another Day is the weakest Brosnan film, what is this topic? TWINE is at least more memorable than Tomorrow Never Dies. I think TWINE is a fine movie, just has a bad Bond girl ("I thought Christmas only came once a year?", barf). It has a zany villain with a weird quirk and some cool gadgets. The caviar factory set piece is awesome. As spikethedevil said, I think it's very underrated. --- |

| Topic | Wait Airships in FFXIV are not on a routine schedule like FFXI? |
| Kaldrenthebold 02/09/21 10:22:31 AM #15 | Hexenherz posted... @Kaldrenthebold That does sound kind of cool. I believe Project Gorgon is totally open world like that from what I played, you can see other people in dungeons and stuff. Also you get permanent curses if you get killed by bosses and the only way to remove the curse is to go back and kill the boss. I'll take a look at it. There are basically two types of MMO games: Sandbox, and Theme Park. WoW and FF14 are theme park: you get a series of quest lines that basically funnel you from hub to hub where you complete the quests, level up, move onto the next encampment / city / base and rinse repeat all the way to the end. Sandbox ones say "just go do stuff in the world" with maybe a main quest to follow and some smaller quests, but the game is played as you wish. Just want to go kill things in an area to level up? Go for it and move onto the next area to grind your way to victory. My big issue with a lot of Sandbox MMO games these days is they put a TON of focus on PVP stuff. Like having guild wars, groups running towns, lines of factions being fought over across the land and such. I was never a big fan of THAT kind of game, so I am still kind of lost. Vanguard Saga of Heroes was a nice mix of sandbox and theme park. Pantheon is from the original creators of EQ1 so I have some real high hopes for that one. --- |
| Topic | Wait Airships in FFXIV are not on a routine schedule like FFXI? |
| Kaldrenthebold 02/09/21 9:49:11 AM #6 | I loved waiting for boats and transportation in EQ1 and even WoW. Time to bond to other people and maybe form a party. Modern MMO's are so instanced and focused on being easy that they are pathetic to play. I miss the days of old MMO's and the actual feeling of "massive" in the MMO genre. Now I go into a dungeon and it's separated from the rest of the world except for me and my group of 3 others. I loved stumbling into a dungeon and seeing a bunch of other people exploring and making it feel like a WORLD. Oh well. Pantheon Rise of the Fallen has my interest if it ever comes out. --- |

| Topic | teep plays Deus Ex: Mankind Divided *progressive spoilers* |
| Kaldrenthebold 02/08/21 4:21:47 PM #6 | fan357 posted... Great game. Gets a bunch of hate for no real reason. Be sure to do the side quests. There's a lot to hate about it, actually. The game is clearly the middle of a trilogy and nothing is really solved or done in terms of the plot moving forward. It is heavily pared down and does NOT feel like a global conspiracy, but a very small scale plot dealing with Prague. The gameplay is better, the side quests are awesome, but only being in one HUB area and with a main plot line that barely exists means the game is a huge step down from HR. It feels like it just spins it wheels and then just ends. --- |

| Kaldrenthebold 02/05/21 9:50:04 AM #19 | I am enjoying it but it is highly, highly overrated and doesn't have nearly as much as people say it does. It has a veritable wealth of indie junk clogging up the store and a bunch of downgraded ports from the PS4/XBO. I also own a Wii U with all it's major exclusives which I recognize not many have, so if you don't have one then there are some real good gems waiting to be picked up again. For me, I think it is hyped up a bit too much for what it offers. --- |

| Topic | How can people hate on tlou2? |
| Kaldrenthebold 02/03/21 4:41:30 PM #222 | Yazarogi posted... Dude, Im pretty sure youre not watching the video I posted, it wasnt a scripted event in the slightest even though those DO exist in the game. I've watched the video countless times when it was shown. I was extremely hyped. I probably watched it more than you did. I beat the game and the AI is not smart on at least hard. The part with Ellie where you need to steal the boat I had a pile of bodies in the same spot and the idiots just kept coming. The animations are top notch, but ND has been the king of them for a long time now. I've had plenty of scary and intense encounters and you've missed the point where I said I enjoy how the game plays. You also seemed to have missed the entire rest of the post talking about how they manipulate media in a particular way to make it seem cooler than it is for E3. It's a trick as old as time. I gave the exact part from the E3 trailer played by some random guy and it's not at all the same way, especially the end (which you mention being tossed around dynamically which again, is scripted unlike your claim) I'm getting tired of this. The game is very fun to play. It's not unique. That is basically it. --- |
| Topic | How can people hate on tlou2? |
| Kaldrenthebold 02/03/21 3:54:29 PM #202 | Yazarogi posted... youre not even referencing the moment in the video Im talking about, which isnt E3 footage. That is an E3 bullshot demo (the entire thing) set up specifically to make it look more interesting than it is. 100%. I've played the game. I've been around long enough to know how E3 demos are set up and how the games change once they release. Here's the example from TLOU1: https://youtu.be/kbLOokeC3VU?t=369 Gameplay demo from E3 2012. This end section with the shotgun is not in the final game, nor are any of the animations and scenarios presented in that small bit. Why? To make it seem more personal, interesting, and cooler than it was. Why are you falling for it? --- |
