If you gave me a game that's fun to play for an upfront cost that gives me an owlbear mount, that's a value proposition. Free to play microtransaction bullshit kills any desire I might have for an owlbear mount, and that's assuming the gameplay is fun, which apparently it isn't.
Let us also remember we must consider degrees. A woman carrying a bit of extra weight can still be a truly beautiful creature, but she is still "overweight". Then compare specimens like Tess Holiday, who is also "overweight", coming in at the same weight as two mopeds. Clearly they are nothing alike, but they are often described with exactly the same terms.
I haven't heard the word "obese" in a while, can we bring that one back for people like Tess?
This is unironically an symptom of autism and "neurodiversity." And anyone who tries to use this as an excuse to shit on an nuanced take on things is absolutely retarded.
The gunfights might be fun without the stupid loot system, but when you spend 90% of your time waiting to respawn and run for miles to get back into a fight where your lifespan is measured in seconds that hardly matters.
Semantically correct, but we all know the kind of fatasses we're talking about here, and they don't wear it well by anyone's standards except actual feeder fetishists.
Interesting, also fucking annoying because it's usually combined with shit writing for anything with a narrative.
Trust me, you don't want to know just how retarded things will actually get if these DEI writers actually went mainstream. Well, aside from Marvel and DC slowly killing off the capeshit genre. And the Percy Jackson series turning into a bigger dumpster fire than Greek mythology already was
"if"? they already are mainstream.
I saw some bullshi about mystry brown MC having an amuelt from his dying father unlocking some cave somwhere and an ancient evil returning, but nothing on why there's modrn war tech. And I had to read that on the concept artist's artstation account.
Just watch Starfleet Academy to see this is very much the case. There's a neurodivergent retard nigger, refugee commentary, 8(?) LGBT characters so far, Klingon in a skirt and ballgown for gender bullshit, and weird foot fetish stuff being enacted through Holly Hunter and Tig Notaro. All on top of horrible writing and destroying lore. It's gonna take years to get back to any semblance of normalcy.
I saw someone's post who supposedly talked with developers, they shared their original ideas for the game.
I didn't even know Geoff was a Hollywood baby.
Yeah his parents own IMAX.
...and for many people in the thread, Geoff's otherwise-inexplicably sudden appearance as some kind of "authority" in game awards and promotions makes a lot of sense. Nepo baby. He's the Xbox of gaming -- mommy & daddy (Microsoft in Xbox's case) just trying to buy their way in.
Honestly the mount fights were the only part of the game that were consistently fun and distinct. The problem with the field is the 3 minutes before the objective spawns where you're just doing nothing
They use this same trick on players and it works (see every 'spiritual successor' on Kickstarter and shit like Back4Blood), but it's very unlikely they'd actually know a single developer's name that matters from a game like Apex. For every Josh Sawyer (from New Vegas), there's several hundred bums who can claim to have worked on a Fallout title, for example.
It's supposed to add to the "tacticool" look, I recon
I'd go so far as to say gamers are increasingly souring on the very idea of these spiritual successors - if not in concept, then at least in how much they trust that it will actually successfully carry the spirit. even the most accepting are at the 'trust, but verify' stage.
It could be worse, you know. Like, having someone wear an bandolier for shit that'll never exist in the game. Or just doubling down have one of the guys run around shirtless.
