How in the hell did we get to the conclusion that you’re in idiot for not playing a game from nine years ago? You’re angry about clickbait titles that aren’t even clickbait, but you also think someone is a dipshit if they found out about a popular game because it was popular and didn’t do an oral history of the previous game before playing? You call people stupid casuals for not knowing the gameplay loop of a game they didn’t play or a game that hasn’t fully revealed its own loop yet, while at the exact same time not knowing the mechanics of the original game yourself? What are we even doing here?

This game has already massively outsold the original. I know people in my personal life who play one or two games year who either bought this game or have asked me about it. The majority of players have never played the original and probably would have no idea this was a sequel if 2 wasn’t in the title. Most people who play this game have no clue what was or wasn’t present in the original. If you’re just jumping on the bandwagon now, I don’t think being surprised that an entire faction isn’t playable for a while is unreasonable. On top of that, the original didn’t require an internet connection to play, you could just play by yourself offline. I never played the original, but I’m assuming with no connection to the meta-game online, you could just play whatever you wanted even if a faction was off the map for a bit, because how would your offline game know that? Also don’t get annoyed at outlets playing the game for clicks and engagement, the entire internet is ruined that way. We built the shittiest version of something possible and made it impossible to succeed otherwise, it’s not their fault.

You’re reading a tone in the article that absolutely isn’t there. The entire thing is littered with references to the fact that it’s almost certainly temporary. It’s more of an interesting curiosity if the way the game runs than anything else. If they wanted to incite rage, they could have been way more explicit about it. As for them removing half of the game, they actually did for a short period of time. Unless there’s some offline/private mode I’m unaware of, if I really liked fighting bots or the missions on bot planets, I literally couldn’t. It’s an interesting choice to make, and one that I’m guessing they knew would piss people off because they came back very quickly.

Well that didn’t take long

I mean, it is technically true and people do care about collecting trophies/achievements. It is a little odd for a game this popular and new to take essentially half of the content and remove it from the equation for an unknown amount of time. I could see removing it from the war effort or whatever but leaving the option to play private matches in some capacity. It just strange to think that someone buying the game today is getting half the experience everyone else did a week ago.

Who crossbred the ORLY? bird with a bald eagle, and why does that moron have it?

A 99.9% killing machine

Did they take the old kidney snout first, or is it still in there?

The only thing Kiss hasn’t stuck their fingers into over the years is anything related to taste.

Yeah I played some of that back in the day, either from a demo or from flying the black flag. It was very forgettable shooter fluff of the era, but not terrible like you might imagine.

I was worried he got so rich he turned into a creepy white guy.

Clearly still butt hurt over Black Adam. Its extra ironic because chuds were giving him shit for letting his daughters put wigs and makeup on him recently.

Weird, I didn’t notice anything that time.

I didn’t realize the 2011 earthquake originated in Virginia. Crazy.

4.7 magnitude earthquake hits NJ, shaking felt across Northeast including Philadelphia area 6ABC.COM A 4.7 magnitude earthquake hit Hunterdon County, New Jersey on Friday morning, with shaking felt across the Northeast, including Philadelphia. Just felt this in my house working from home today.

What in the actual fuck

Can we seriously just let this shit go? It’s exhausting to see the same shit re-litigated in constant threads.

Yeah, for the foreseeable future there’s absolutely no way we could be a one car household, my wife and I work an hour apart from each other. I’d be happy to go EV knowing that we’d still have her gas car to fall back on as I just drive to work and back and that’s it. Any longer trips I make regularly would still fall well within the range of most EVs with time to spare and there are fast chargers all over the place.

I plan on running my Mazda until it dies/I suddenly come into a ton of money for some reason. I’m hoping that by that time the Rivian R3 will be out and vaguely affordable as my kids will be old enough that I won’t need a car seat or stroller anymore and I’ll need way less specialty crap when traveling.

Got burnt once but it was only gonorrhea

You have to be seriously deluded to think that fat fuck is going to be alive in nine years.

What was so bad about Dark Souls 2? I actually liked it quite a bit.
