Does the art style appeal to anyone? I find it repulsive. Makes me wonder how Bungie could possibly think this would have mass appeal.

Basically this is all BS.
He lied, blames journalists for taking his lies seriously because he made them on Discord, complains about being called a Nazi, says that there was a review bomb being discussed that never happened, and further attempts to justify his lies by saying the Steam review system is broken so he's allowed to encourage positive reviews (by apparently lying).
If he wanted to further damage his reputation, he did a pretty good job.
Besiroglu argues to the naysayers that having agents do all the work will actually enrich humans, not impoverish them, through “explosive economic growth.
The founder sounds absolutely delusional. A disruption this enormous to how current society works would not bode well for the vast majority of people. I'm reminded of the film Elysium where the super rich have their enclave and everyone else outside of it are left to rot.
How did they even measure this? What's a 50 year old avatar look like vs a 45 year old avatar? Over 50 is wrinkles and graying hair and under 50 is not?
I think I'm done with Nintendo at this point. Their overly litigious legal department has bothered me and now with the price of this console and the $70-$80 games that are rarely discounted (and never more than 30%), I can't justify the expense when most of their games are 10-20 hours long.

Barring Nintendo games, which do nothing for me, why would I pick this over a Steam Deck?
The webcam isn't reason enough to buy a Switch 2?
I'm glad to see it selling well. Hopefully this means Warhorse will continue to develop historically based open world RPGs.

Watched some of this game stream and it was like nonstop conversations with boring npcs and carrying sacks into a pantry. Like wtf is this? Hope it's actually a good game and I just got 15 min of the intro or something but not buying after seeing that. At least the FF7 Rebirth cutscenes are funny or interesting and I can 1.5x them.
Yeah, what you were watching was the intro, right before the main part of the game begins. The beginning of the game is very slow, which is partly due to many flashbacks/references to the first game, and a bunch of tutorials. In the end the intro felt really drawn out.
However, I wouldn't judge the entire game by the intro. It's after the intro where the fun really begins because that's when you are given freedom to go and do whatever you want. I can't speak for the quality of the main storyline, but I doubt it's as boring as parts of the intro, given how well the game was reviewed.
I only played for a small amount of time during my lunch break, but it seems like the combat system has improved. I did run into a weird issue with VSync and the frame limit not working correctly, but after restarting the game a number of times and then launching the game through the AMD Software, it started working correctly. I have no idea what was causing the issue or why it fixed itself.

Do they still have the same stupid save system? If so, hard pass.
Yes, it does use the same save system. I assume a mod will quickly be released to allow players to freely save.
Given the positive previews, I'm not surprised that the reviews are also very positive. I'm very excited to play this tomorrow.
I've played it for several hours now and so far I've had fun. If you have Game Pass I'd definitely recommend giving it a try.
I really find it odd that companies continue to use X for posting updates. Isn't that brand damaging by now?

Waaay too expensive, waaay too unfinished. Wake me up when there is a complete edition for €20 that I can play on my future RTX 7090!
Or, pay for a month of Game Pass PC and finish it within a month.

Am I the only dumb ass that paid full price?
If you bought this on Steam, how did you end up paying the full price? It was discounted as a preorder and it's still discounted after being released. When was there a time it wasn't discounted?
As for me. I was tempted to buy it, but since I haven't played part 1, I'm probably just going to wait for part 3 before buying them all. Also, I already know I'm going to be playing KCD 2 and Avowed, so I'll have little time for other games.

BTW, wasn't he supposed to enact retarded tariffs day 1?
I wonder if someone spoke some sense into his cavernously empty cranium.
He threatened to, but there was nothing. Now I'm seeing a proposed 10 percent tariff on Chinese imports on February 1. So either he was bluffing about the insanely high tariffs or someone convinced him it would be a really stupid idea.

What is the point of games like this? Are there really that many MAGA cultists who play games? 🤔
Go on any Steam forum for a well known game and you will find out. It's a cesspool of people getting upset over any diversity of characters, especially if it involves sexuality. Right now there's a bunch of people upset with the Kingdom Come 2 because there's apparently an African man in the game, and the player has the choice of making Henry bisexual.

BlueSky is pretty good, there's no reason to be on Xitter any longer.
Well that's good to hear. As long as they don't change BlueSky Social to a publicly traded company it will probably stay that way for longer.

Blue, no, I don't feel ashamed. I'm not the one coming on here calling everyone who cares what Elon Musk says/does pathetic. If you're censoring my post, then Prez' first post calling us pathetic should be censored as well. Or does going through a mental health crisis give someone impunity from having to follow the forum rules?
