So the kerbs were made flatter seems to be the main point in the article? Isn’t this the track where the previous sausage kerbs led to multiple cars being very dangerously flung in the air?
We’ll see how the chicane change goes, but as much as I like the historic layouts, sometimes you do just have to update things. Especially when the cars aren’t the same as they used to be.
A survival horror about dinosaurs can’t exist because an action game that includes fantasy dinosaur-like creatures does?
That sounds like saying you wouldn’t have space for Resident Evil because of Fallout, and those arguably have more overlap than Dino Crisis and Monster Hunter in their settings.
I mean I could be wrong, I haven’t played Dino Crisis (though I intend to at some point), but from what I know and have heard it’s not that close to Monster Hunter. People have been looking for AAA Dino horror-type stuff for ages. They wouldn’t bring up Dino Crisis instead of Monster Hunter in those discussions if they filled the same niche.
I’ve also said this before and I’ll say it again: names of suspects and even convicted criminals should not be shared unless necessary*. That just makes no sense for rehabilitation as it opens people up for judgement in a court of opinion. Justice is the job of the justice systems and should not generally involve the wider public.
Could there be issues with the judgement or other events where the only way to achieve justice is via the press? Sure, probably, but I don’t think the default should be that if I google the name of someone I can find if they or someone with a similar name (and god forbid, appearance) were involved in a crime.
*: unless necessary here can cover cases like trying to find an individual on the run, or when their previous crime is meant to exclude them from specific lines of work, although even that should be on a need-to-know basis imo, not public info.
Can’t say much about the game/DLC personally as I haven’t played it yet, but what you’re looking at seems the be the premium bundle, which is a separate listing. The normal DLC listing is at 63%, mixed.
A common negative review complaint also seems to be performance issues, so it’s not really just the difficulty.
Man, Veilguard is being covered a lot.
Honestly, this sounds potentially good or even great.
Two things though:
Maybe it could’ve been a good combat-focused fantasy game with linear missions instead of being forced to include some lame dialogue wheel and pretending it’ll appeal to Dragon Age fans.
So I guess Kingdoms of Amalur-style combat but it doesn’t look fun or challenging. Story seems like it apparently jumps off of Inquisition which is fair but I could never be bothered to really play or care for that much.
How they got to this from “serious dark fantasy RPG” I don’t know. I can see the obvious Mass Effect influences, but other than the cutscene conversations it feels weaker than even Andromeda.
I agree. I was so convinced it’s a hero shooter/MOBA/whatever that I checked the description and was shocked it said single player RPG. Hell, I was surprised when it revealed there is a player character.
They 100% don’t seem to realise what people liked about the games.
See the other reply about why the EU can’t act. I’d just like to add context on the “why were they let in” front.
Hungary joined the EU in 2004. The country was more democratic back then. There were even some hopes of joining the Euro zone. Then the government of the time cocked up (basically their words), and Fidesz/Orbán, who were part of the anti-communist wave in 1989, gained a supermajority in 2010 and gradually rewrote the constitution and electoral system. Slowly eroded all the systems, took control of all the media, etc.
Not sure when they became Russia-friendly/controlled, but Hungary has been less democratic since 2010 and that’s where the problems stem from. I genuinely wonder how much of it all was a Russian plot from the start and how much was opportunistic.
In places the article seems to imply they hadn’t noticed Hungary was a problem before. It has been, for years, and not just in relation to Ukraine.
Openly buddying up with Russia isn’t exactly new and should have raised red flags. Same with open hostility towards the EU. You can also add China there now too, so it’s not like the problem is just Russia.
Sadly, I don’t see things changing internally. People who support the opposition in Hungary are disillusioned and many of those who could have left. Most, if not all by now, media is owned by either the governing party or affiliates. The electoral system disproportionally rewards whoever gets a plurality, which will be Fidesz with the previous two points.
This has been developing for over a decade. Suggestions that this is something that is only now a problem shouldn’t exist.
Also FFS, Russia has been managing to either control people in power all over the world (see: USA) or put their own people in power. Treat this as proper foreign action.
Ok, I might be misunderstanding here, but since committing changes is allowed for everyone, doesn’t this mean fixing bugs is something you could do? You’d just be stuck with all the other rights as well until someone else makes a change.
As others said, it’s not for everyone. The gameplay loop is and will remain repetitive.
For what it’s worth, I hate horror but I generally just get surprised, not scared in this game. To me it’s a game where you go in with the mindset that you’ll likely die in some horrible way, but it’ll make for a funny scene or story afterwards.
I’d actually recommend watching clips of people. Not big name YouTubers, just the random 5-60s clips people upload and figuring out if those sort of events would be things you’d laugh at or enjoy being part of yourself.
That’s what Lewis mentioned specifically as well (emphasis mine):
I don’t feel a particular way. Whilst I really like Baku, it’s really a beautiful place, questions in my mind of whether the FIA is really actually thinking about sustainability because so many people flew out here and the FIA is in Paris and it just would have been easier to stay there.
This seems perfectly consistent with his stance of keeping F1 going as a global sport while minimising environmental impact (e.g.: due to travel, which is what he explicitly has issues with in the quote). What’s worth a clown emoji here?
Do you have any examples of dubious sites they list? To my knowledge they take the legitimacy of the sites seriously, so it would be great to know if that’s not the case.
isthereanydeal.com lists only legitimate retailers, no second hand/grey market sites. Not exclusively Steam though, so check on the site before purchasing (though usually every website will be selling Steam keys except like Epic Games Store, Microsoft Store, Ubisoft, EA Origin).
You can also link your Steam wishlist, set up alerts for when a game falls below a certain price, etc.
Haven’t used it myself yet, but I’ve seen it recommended: the User Agent Switcher extension. It might fix some websites you have issues with?
ASCII survival isn’t for everyone, but I do very much enjoy Cataclysm, Dark Days Ahead or Bright Nights depending on your preferences in realism.
Yeah, I had the same thoughts after his comments on Sargeant giving 100% and falling short.
Like ok, yeah, maybe you’re right and it’s not just the car not suiting him or him not having experience in a competitive F1 situation, etc. But I don’t think it’s good to just plain say he’s underperforming on every metric and “you can see on his face he’s giving 100%”.
The honesty is great and necessary, but going too far in the brutal way, as you said, just leads to him looking like a toxic asshole.
Not to mention all of this being done publicly puts extra pressure on Colapinto since now he knows if he doesn’t perform well he might just be remembered by another Vowles public statement about his lacking abilities.
