It’s a shame a few popular online games ruin that image for a majority of awesome communities though. I have a few favorite online games and the communities in them are amazing, even made friends and good memories in them.

I swear Linux users are borderline jehovah’s witnesses going door to door

It took a while to catch up

I think it’s understandable why they sue them (I doubt it holds up in court though), it’s just horrible business practice because Nintendo is too lazy to actually innovate and do something creative for a change, instead of sitting on franchises like that and do fuck all with it, only releasing repetitive piss-poor games based on the exact same concept they invented like 30+ years ago.

The problem is people will still buy Pokemon, even if they’re absolute garbage games. So Nintendo won’t change it either.

I played it and I felt like it borrowed a lot of elements from Pokemon. It wasn’t Pokemon, but you can’t deny it took like 90% of their inspiration from Pokemon and then added guns to it.

Well statistically speaking like only 1% of their peak player count at launch was still playing the game.

It doesn’t do bad on the top ranking out of all games on Steam, but it didn’t do great anymore either.

I didn’t have any real problems with the actual story of the Acolyte, but what did put me off most was the insane pacing and strange edits in that show, there was rarely a moment of rest to give viewers time to let stuff sink in. Some episodes also cut-off very suddenly to a credit roll, it was just jarring. And a lot of scenes felt like they were supposed to be a lot longer and could’ve benefitted from a lot more dialogue.

I’m unsure why they did so, because most episode could’ve easily been like 20-30 minutes longer to make at least 1 hour episodes. I think they might’ve cut a lot and saved it for either flashbacks in a potential second season (especially the Qimir stuff) or decided they wanted to change it later.

The whole editing and pacing reminds me a lot of Rise of Skywalker, the entire movie felt like they crammed 2 or even 3 movies into one.

Getting flashbacks to the Acolyte reviewbombs dropping before the episodes even aired.

Good to see some OG aliens in there, Disney kept adding almost exclusively new aliens and then only use those for a lot of their stuff.

I only played it like 2 months ago on my PS5. It was a discount to €50 but I’d say full price would still be totally worth it.

The quality of the game, gameplay and story far surpasses that of many others, 2 years does not degrade the quality of the game.

I’d rather pay €60 for this than €70 for Astro Bot.

Did a level 10 operation on bugs yesterday and it was ridiculously easy compared to before. Bots were a bit more difficult, but we didn’t get anyone to join so with just 2 players it was impossible. Another level 10 bot mission later with 4 players was very easy.

I never felt like the difficulty tuning was the problem, it was the weak-ass weapons and constant weapon nerfs. But it seems like with the buffs they also nerfed spawns and now the weapons overpowers the difficulty again. They either need to buff weapons and keep the ridiculous spawn rates that should be overwhelming on level 10, or nerf the weapons again so it’s not that easy and requires more tactical gameplay.

There used to be a nice balance in difficulties, if it’s too difficult you could just down the level to something more chill. The top level ones are supposed to be a real challenge. Now they feel like what was previously a level 7, 8 or 9 level, depending on which enemies you get.

Someone elsewhere mentioned there aren’t enough spawns to complete the missions since the update.

New updates and bugs, freezes, crashes go hand in hand sadly.

I don’t think it’s a traffic surge issue. The disconnects, crashes and getting stuck in some screens have been issues since launch. Some of them got fixed, but they seem to keep returning every update. Especially the crashes often seem related to specific weapons or actions. Like previously it was the Arc weapons that had high risk of crashes, at some point even throwing snowballs was advised against because it would often introduce crashes.

“What YOU can do to help save the planet!”

Bitch please, ya’ll made my livelihood dependable on your products for decades and now the consumer is the problem?!

Sadly too true. Just tried a quick round, ended up getting stuck in the debrief screen where the ship is supposed to fly to the cruiser and had to Alt F4 out of the game. These kind of issues get quite tiresome.

Tried some more and sadly had a bunch of people crashed in my lobby a couple of times, and I crashed one game too. Later I started the game and I got logged out “due to inactivity” while on my ship for barely 30 seconds checking out a few items lmao

It’s so annoying how bigs repeatedly happen, including stuff that’s been fixed before, after every game update.

I think it was a weak spot, just even weaker now lol

People celebrating and encouraging this shit are disgusting human beings.

Possibly worth checking back in, but frankly I think I’ll still rather wait until they drop new content like the Illuminate.

Also wouldn’t be surprised if a bunch of new issues will pop up now, as is tradition with Helldivers game updates.

Lol, could’ve been some wild fan theory. I guess it’s just a weird scene at the end of TROS that feels like they could’ve left out.

Well yeah today you learned because today it was added lol
