This Swedish girl is a product of her handlers. She is espousing what adults with a specific agenda have told her. I don't think she is bonkers, just misinformed by the people that are using her. I find it very sad that people have to use a child to push such an agenda, especially when it is not backed by any scientific facts. Yes, the earth is warming, but the silly sky is falling nonsense has no basis in fact.

No the sky isn't falling but the earth is going down the drain really fucking fast. Many suspect we've already moved beyond the tipping point and are at the start of the next extinction level event, meaning it's already too late. This isn't a drop off a cliff, but a long slide into extinction that picks up speed as it goes. Ecosystems are collapsing. Keystone species are disappearing. We're running out of fresh water, top soil, arable land. Population is exploding and everyone demands more, more, more. It's completely unsustainable - and has been for several decades now. Yeah, there's an agenda, the 'Hey I live on this planet too and it would be really nice if it didn't go to Hell in a handbasket in the next couple of decades which is exactly where it's going' agenda.

I always get worried when I see that cloud save box appear, no matter which game. You're always just one click away from fucking yourself over...

I've only fucked myself over twice. Once early into Steam doing this, when Steam lost my save (best as I could tell.) Another time when I had been offline without realizing it and ended up with two different saves, out of sync, and the wrong one got uploaded (at least 50% user error, if not 100%.)

So to fix Borderlands 3 you need to get rid of Epic Game Store?

Does EGS actually let you kill it while playing? Wish I could do that with every launcher; Ubi's I think lets you close it but keeps some process running, Origin and Blizzard I remember would kill the game, and Steam might be game dependent based on using Steamworks DRM, but since most do I haven't bothered testing, and nor have I tried for Bethesda's.

GoG's the only (other?) one that just lets me play my damned game...

Battlenet can close after the game launches. Has been able to for years. In fact there is a option for bnet to close when the game launches in the options.

Something I wish more clients had.

Also what issues with BL3? Been watching tons on streamers and none of them have had issues.

I just finished this game and it was pretty lackluster, not sure I want or need new content. The story is even shorter then the one in the first game, granted you can spend several hours doing pointless side missions but those are even duller then the story missions.

I did not even get all the different weapons b4 the game ended, not that it would matter much, the AR and shotgun are all you need.

Cheater should've been instantly kicked from the game the moment they knew he was cheating... Why let him play after that?

Put his face and real name out on the internet, hardware ban this guy, take away his game account and put out a statement that this is going to happen to every single cheater they find. Some hardware bans cannot even be fooled by spoofed hardware ids, so right now it can be done.

Tell all his friends, Tattoo cheater on his forehead, cut off his gaming fingers, take away his right to vote, medically sterilize him and send him to a reeducation camp.

You guys are way too magnanimous... /s

Nuke him from high orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

One new map. 20 new modes. GET READY FOR BATTLEFIELD!

So boring. This game needs regular injections of new content, not this drip drab nonsense with mode overload. Most appalling is the total lack of vehicles in this game. Gone are the days of multiple transports and mini theaters of combat within a map. Instead its boring chokepoint conflict over and over.

50 million? That's crazy. I wonder how many of those actually bought any cosmetics or whatever they are selling in game though.

This still looks like yet another BR game that I'm going to skip though, I don't find that gameplay style appealing at all.

I'm not sure what they increased TTK to, doesn't feel like it was changed all that much, although I have survived a few sprints across broad open plains, despite getting shot a few times.

Face to face encounters don't seem as though they've changed, maybe 1 additional shot for some of the automatics? Whatever that 1 shotgun is for Support still seems to be instakill.

I still really haven't had a chance to put a lot of hours into the game though, so perhaps chalk it up to BFV inexperience overall.

For all the great things about any BF game, and the cool new stuff, BFV is still let down by shitty teammates who only want to camp on the fucking hills and snipe instead of capping flags, or playing any sort of flag defense.

Cosmetic stuff aside, I still love the game. I play a lot of Blackops 4 Blackout and whenever I want some god old fashioned fun I play a match of QC

For about 70% more money I expect 70% better performance! As I did with nvidia's RTX, by the way.

Why? There's always diminishing returns at the top. Always. In every single category of every single product.

If you want something bleedingly new and cutting edge, you're paying a premium for it. The performance per dollar is never in favor of the highest end products. Anywhere. Ever.

I feel like people on this site have kind of lost that. Like we used to know it - we used to look at the top end products and think about how cool the performance was but realize it wasn't made for us and it wasn't going to be something we'd buy - instead we'd buy something half the price and 75% the performance. But lately it seems like everyone here is demanding value from the highest tier products. That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.

Have BF fans gone to PUBG/Fortnite? I'd expect PUBG got a huge chunk, right? Less to Fortnite and Overwatch.

But those games are what's taking players these days, not realistic or semirealistic deathmatch games.
