It's a control panel. It works. Putting lipstick on a pig doesn't make the pig better.
Can you honestly say the new, modern settings panel in Windows is in any way superior to the old, quaint Control Panel? In many ways it's worse.

The Prince of Persia Sands of Time series was quite brilliant. What happened?

So, what's the reason for naming it "ultimate" then? Marketing hype word? Updating the game and adding a DLC makes it "ultimate"?
Jim wrote on Nov 23, 2023, 12:48:Ah... the first 2 books are just a compilation of his short stories that were originally published separately in magazines. Saying that he is a messy writer because of it is like saying Joe Abercombie or Brandon Sanderson are messy writers because Sharp Ends or Arcanum Unbounded were published as single books.
His original writing was kind of a mess. Short stories made into books. One of the reasons the first season of the netflix series is a mess.

But the rest of them deal pretty much with the poor implementation of the monetization systems that make the game crappy for those people, so how are they not valid reviews?Huzsar wrote on Jun 7, 2022, 12:47:https://www.metacritic.com/game/ios/diablo-immortal/user-reviews?dist=negative
I think review bombing is usually when people score the game low for something that does not have much to do with the quality of the actual game. I do not see this as review bombing, and more of reviewing the poor quality of the game due to mechanics Blizzard implemented.
The Zero (0) reviews do not agree with your hypothesis that it's due to "the poor quality of the game."
This is quintessential review bombing.

Kind of strange to think that I always assumed Stalker was the quintessential russian game, but no, it is not, and never has been. My life is a lie.
The Half Elf wrote on Nov 14, 2021, 23:50:To me your kind of experience shows the issue with this progression system. They pretty much give you random cars to the point where it took you a long while to figure out a basic mechanic, cause you probably had access to cars that were more powerful but also more difficult to handle. I argue that the progression should be giving you less powerful cars at first and steer you to ones that are capable of completing, for example a drifting mission, easier. So you can learn those basics, then after that have the game start giving you more powerful cars where you can utilize that earlier experience. If I wanted to learn to drift does then game tell you how to do it, which cars to start with, and which cars to advance after, or does it just throw cars at you randomly?
Pretty much what jacob said. Just because you have X car doesn't mean you can drive it, or drive it well.
Hell finally figured out how to drift for the first time since the Forza franchise was created

They deliberately choose their FPS target, it's not a question of ability.

From what I remember I think they happened on Thursdays too around the same time as US one, but maybe like an hour before (so it would be 3-5PM for you). This was few months ago so might be different now. Powodzenia
I envy people who are able to buy any GPU at MSRP. It's impossible in Poland, the cards are so overpriced it's wiser to invest in a used car instead. I already purchased an insanely overpriced RTX 3060 that barely manages to offer good enough performance at 1080p and I feel terribly dirty now.

How in the 666 levels of the Abyss did you get a new card at MSRP? Everything I've seen here at any retailer that's actually in stock is still 100%+ over MSRP.
Cutter wrote on Oct 13, 2021, 13:51:If you compare it to old pricing then absolutely its overpriced, with the current prices though not really. Like I was able to grab a 6800 XT at MSRP, $690 after taxes, while at the same time sold my 1080 GTX for $435 after Ebay fees. Whole difference was like $250.
Even at MSRP this series is overpriced.

If anything they want to be able to sideload their own store on the phone and bypass the AppStore completely, however Apple does not allow this claiming it would compromise their security. a pure BS statement since they allow installing any apps on their computers yet somehow that does not compromise their security there. To me this is like if Microsoft decided to force everyone to use their windows store for all new application installations, no more GoG or Epic or Steam stores allowed since that would be a competition.FloodAnxiety wrote on Oct 9, 2021, 15:02:WTF does this even mean? If anything, Epic wants Apple to subsidize their presence on the AppStore.
I hope Apple loses their appeal. If this means Apple will have to sell their phones for a higher price to make up for their lost profits, then I am all for that. The games industry should not have to subsidize non-gamers on Apple platforms.

Yeah, so they have all of these cards just sitting around that they can send out as RMA's but they don't have cards to fulfill orders for people who have bene siting in their wait ques for about a year now. Something just does not add up here about that.
