BFIII, BFIV, Bad Company II - highlights of the franchise.

Let's not forget the complete shitshow that was BF: Vietnam, which launched and was barely working at all. Let's not forget BF: V "IF you don't like the fact that we put women in WWII, don't buy the game!" "We don't understand the low sales of BFV..."

I exclusively play Hardcore. I cannot stand having to magdump someone to try to kill them, and then getting one-shotted in return.

Remember when BF games were about large maps with destruction and infantry/vehicle combat? Now it's like COD and BF copy each other AND every BR game out there and nothing is distinct anymore. Hell, the largest amount of COD players ARE playing the BR mode because it's free.

Coming soon: Battlefield of Duty: Legends of Shooter Nite EXTREME!

WoT looks like a SyFy production. The sets and lighting are weak at best. We’ll see how it works out story-wise.

My favorite book series, but as soon as I saw the PC overload I knew I would never watch this. Now my suspicions about how crap this was going to be are confirmed by multiple sources who said the same as you: SyFy cheapo series.

Of course, I hated Game of Thrones as well. And every Dune adaptation. Really, if you cannot do justice to a book series, I don't want to watch it. Yes, I loved LOTR. I always thought PJ should go back and do a short film about the Tom Bombadill chapters, though. It really is a separate story, but that could be cool on it's own.

Funny enough, I really like The Witcher and the new Shadow and Bone - which both deviate from the books BUT, the books aren't great. Shadow and Bone is actually not a good read. The whole series. Her second series, which has the Crows from the show, is much, much better, so I'm glad they combined them in the show. (Which actually makes sense, timeline-wise.)

Hmm, can create any reality he wants, but can't snap metal armored fingers. Got it.

This is very much a product of modern movie watchers nitpicking things to death. You buy the talking Racoon, the non-liquification of Tony Stark every time he crashes at mach 2, and the very uneven portrayal of the actual stones' powers themselves, but the finger snapping; that's what brought you out of the suspension of disbelief?

We're tough on cheaters! Meanwhile, coming from ESO and GW2 I feel like I am playing a single player RPG here. I've only had the game 4 days now, but I can count the times I ran into another player out in the world on one hand. Hell, even in town I only see a couple other people hanging around. They really need to make some changes if they want this thing to make money.

I'm sure you've all heard, but Steam Deck is now delayed by 2 months. Doesn't make much difference to me, since mine wasn't going to be shipped until like, July 2022 or something, but if you were lucky enough to hit it quick, it's not coming for Christmas.

It would make more sense to remaster Morrowind or Oblivion then to do another Skyrim re-release. Seems lazy.

Agreed.

Also, if you're going to use that pic as your avatar, you really need a signature line that says "I have spoken."

That contractor story will be fun to watch.
Newsweek has a better breakdown.

How to act like a child and get even, rather than act like an adult and get paid. Which is funny from the outside, because based on all the information available, he did a shit job and didn't even finish before demanding payment in full. He's going to end up losing 2 to 3 times the money for being a dick, not to mention probably not getting work anymore. But good job, you wrecked her bathroom. That showed her!

Kind of hard to patent something Blizzard has been doing for years.

This was a thing with some PS4 games as well. It...never really worked except Horizon Zero Dawn, as far as I could tell.

This headstone says it all.
The epitaph says "beloved son, brother, and uncle," over the dates of birth and death and an engraved portrait of Kyle. Near the bottom, chiseled in the same formal font as everything else, is a blunt message for the public, and for posterity: F--K COVID-19.
Actual stone had uc in place of --.

Thank you, sir!

Upheaval in the company due to the recent media blitz, or just the simple fact that they can't find a way to make this mobile game actually good?

Uh, odd singing.

She's like a bucket with a hole: Can't carry a tune, can't hold a note. The original is just as bad. I'm not sure this is anything other than an experiment to see how famous one can become by being the worst at something.

Y'all act like this is something happened overnight or just in the last year. These people are claiming DECADES of mistreatment. If you're dumb enough to work at a place you hate for a decade...

If you are one of those people who can't accept others because they don't fit your worldview

...goes on to be one of those people who won't accept others because they don't fit his worldview.

I wish they'd just issue an HONEST letter.

Dear Employees,

STFU and go back to work. All the noise you were making, you think you'd have all quit your jobs in protest at all the horrible transgressions you've witnessed. Instead you're still here, drawing a salary. Clearly you didn't think it was all that bad until you saw a chance for financial gain. If you'd like to keep drawing that salary, get back to work! Otherwise, there's the door and you'll be replaced before it hits you in the ass.

The Grizzly Bear Had Hunted Him For Days. He Was Tired And Almost Out Of Ammo. Then...A Miracle.

Five people have been killed by bears so far in 2021, up from four in 2020.

Only three people have been killed by the vaccine. Yet it's considered more frightening.

Look at JDreyer coming out of the gate with both guns blazing.👍

But seriously, who goes into the outback without enough ammo. 👀 Dude wasn’t worth rescuing in my book.

Who tries to take out a grizzly with a pistol? 😨

Many, many people. Most people carrying in Alaska for bear defense are carrying a pistol, since lugging around a shotgun or a rifle at all times is a chore. 10mm, 44 Magnum, 500S&W Magnum, all proven Grizzly killers. Hell, there's documented cases of 9mm killing Grizzlys, but I sure wouldn't chance it.

Another "Tom Clancy" game I won't even remember because it won't be on STEAM. These geniuses act like limiting their platforms somehow helps them gain players.

In dEAd space, no one can hear you scream "SHAME ON YOU FOR DEAD SPACE 3!"

I agree. Totally different tone. Never finished. Just recently got the whole trilogy on STEAM to try again.

WHAT!?!?! You can't half-ass a BR game and expect to keep a player base? NOOOOO!

This time we really, really, really, really, really mean it!

Hey MS, remember when you took a bunch of PC games and made them exclusive to XBOX and then let PC gamers have SOME of those games YEARS later? (Halo) Or started a bunch of series on both PC and then XBOX but then fucked over PC gamers by only putting certain entries on XBOX? (Fable, Gears of War) Or "committed" to PC gaming by doing a lazy port of an XBOX interface and jamming it into Windows?

Yeah, you can go blow goats, Phil.
