I think moreso an opportunity for developers of specific genres to get attention in an increasingly crowded marketplace.

Did that have any effect on your game? Minor UI issues are pretty common in plenty of games, I personally can’t see that as much of an issue. Certainly not the game-breaking bugs of launch Oblivion and Skyrim

Did you even play it, or are you just jumping on the hate bandwagon? It’s hardly perfect, but I literally didn’t find any significant bugs in over 20 hours of playtime. The game has plenty of fundamental issues certainly, but the bugs are more of a meme than anything.

Just look at the mod sites to see how many bugfixes are out there. It’s been improved in the years since it launched, but it’s far from a bug free game.

Admittedly haven’t played it yet, but BOTW was absolutely a masterpiece.

That said, the NPC scripting and interactions are way simpler than Bethesda games, and there’s very little in terms of even marginally open ended quests. It’s a great open world, but it’s pretty on rails story wise outside the order in which you tackled areas.

Well yeah, that’s what happens when you make enormous games with basically no player safely rails. With unrestricted freedom comes unpredictable interactions and inevitable bugs. Feel free to point out any other game that comes close to the scale of a Bethesda game without being full of bugs.

Thank you for being one of the few people in this thread with any sense.

Not just that, there’s a bunch of nutjobs that believe FEMA is using the disaster as cover to nationalize the lithium mines near Chimney Rock. There are groups organizing to try to hunt down first responders.

Well, you absolutely can because the argument was immediately withdrawn as completely unenforceable, just like this certainly will be.

Well, that is exactly what happens in the vast majority of cases, and almost certainly what’s going to happen here.

That’s not to undercut how shitty a practice it is, it mostly serves to discourage and dissuade people from trying to sue in the first place.

Which they’re obviously going to need after walking the 2,000 miles to the Canadian border…

Believe it or not, Canada also occasionally has floods that kill people and leave thousands without power for days at a time. Not to mention the wildfires that continue to escalate every year. We’re all struggling with climate change and how it’s affecting natural disasters.

No you aren’t, you’re using a record shattering disaster to try to make some really fucking stupid point about how vague ‘other countries’ are somehow much better than America.

Disasters happen everywhere. Get your head out of your ass, you usually can string together a decent point, but this is just idiotic.

Read my comments further down. Your party affiliation is whatever you decide it is. There are plenty of reasons to register, vote, or support candidates contrary to party affiliation. That doesn’t make you ‘not party X’ unless you decide you are no longer supporting party X. It seems pretty simple to me.

Living in a deep red state, it’s the only chance I have to cast a vote that matters. Not just the presidency, but most of our state and local politicians are decided in the Republican primary. Half the positions I’m talking about literally run unopposed in the general election. So I’m going to keep voting for the lesser evil and doing what I can where I live.

The same way I define if someone is gay, christian, or whatever other personal label, I ask them. If that’s not an option, I’m not going to make a judgement based on random shit.

This guy was a complicated person who doesn’t seem to strongly identify with either party, obviously Hannity is full of shit, but that doesn’t mean we should lose sight of nuance in our reality.

That’s moderately useful for statistics purposes, but that’s all. It does not mean every individual person who registers as Republican believes in Republican values and votes for Republicans. Nor is it a complete list, plenty of states don’t require registration for primaries so there are lots of people who don’t bother declaring either way.

That’s really a terrible way to make that assessment. I’m registered as a Republican in my state so I can vote in their primary, but that doesn’t reflect who I actually support.

Respawn has made 2 incredibly good SW games, and EA doesn’t have exclusivity anymore. Seems like a silly complaint at this point.

One of the 3 founders committed suicide before the trial completed, one was convicted, and the 3rd still has over 30 charges that haven’t been ruled on yet. None of them are ‘roaming free’.
