Of course it is. It’s just sanctioned because you’re in the military and being in the military will usually mean you’ll get to kill someone if a commander of your corresponding army tells you to kill them. That’s how it is.

I remember people hailed this game as the game where “an addictive game with no MTX like other mobile games!”. But, that’s the problem too people had with mobile games, was addiction and this game had that too.

That’s pretty much the point though. But, that’s your interpretation.

You could say that almost for the entirety of Elder Scrolls series as a whole.

Daggerfall was more of their ambitious projects though. I think the entire premise is “make a character, run with character until you’re bored and only engage in some of the story”. I mean, in Daggerfall, all you have to do is just get a letter to start the main quest, but you can ignore the main quest after that entirely.

Bejeweled will always remain as my definitive 3-match game. The only other coming close is Treasures of Montezuma 3 and 4.

Undertale - It took a lot of pages off from Earthbound and just basically served as an example of what happens when you are nothing but fan-service.

Doom - There will be no arguments against the fact that Doom did set the FPS world on fire when it arrived. But, you can make an argument that overtime, there have been lots of very enjoyable FPS games that will give Doom a run for its money. I’m also a fan of Quake and I think Quake helped progress FPS in its own way. I really hate that Doom: The Dark Ages was pissed away when that could’ve been the Quake remake or continuation we’d all like to see. Instead, Quake died at Quake Champions, a very forgettable hero-shooter.

The wealthy typically don’t like being known, they love operating from the shadows. We only ever know of them, if there’s a news report about something they’ve said or done.

Because the truth hurts them. Once again, proving to me, that it’s fragile ego.

It’s freaking Reddit all over again and they don’t care to realize it.

PieFed - Blocking entire instances.

Saves the trouble of individually blocking by user or users from said instance who breed intolerant idiots.

Online moderators.

They’re such fragile people behind them keyboards.

One piece of shit dies, another piece of shit comes and takes their place.

Nostalgia kids would have you believe that it was always good. However, I would say it was maybe 15% of the time that it was good. But stretch that 15% across the entirety of time you are in school for and then you’ll see the real results. It wasn’t like you had a plethora of options as to what to eat. Some of the options did suck for the week and that was all you get, too bad if you are wanting something else.

In High School, it was slightly better with the access of vending machines and the ability to sometimes buy food but then again, that involved money. Whatever provided to you, was marginally better, but still the same odds at the end of the day.

Depends on the game. Most times it’s not even worth it because post-game after beating the game, usually means another round with only tiny differences.

I’ve done Super Mario World multiple times, completing the Star Road and changing the koopas to have the mario heads. I’ve done The Messenger to get the Wind Shuriken, which honestly in my opinion, wasn’t worth gathering all the power seals for.

Elder Scrolls II Daggerfall, didn’t really feel like there was anything post-content that is there to it, after doing everything. You just continue until you’re bored, which you could already do anyways by ignoring the main quest after getting the letter to meet that lady in a tavern so you wouldn’t be soft-locked out of it.

It just depends, if there’s more meat to the bone there is, then maybe, if not and it’s just going another round of everything again then no.

Minecraft and Terraria are to me the definitive mining/crafting games you can find.

Stardew Valley sets the bar for farming sim.

The Messenger holds a nice contender of a well-balanced game, one of the best in its ranks.

There will be no better ARPG contender to me than the Diablo series, even if Diablo has made some questionably dumb choices.

The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall/Fallout 1 and 2 are some games that demonstrate the importance of depth and how your choices matter in their games. Something I feel nearly all RPGs should have.

Yeah, I mean, your time is valuable and it isn’t going to make it more enjoyable if you’ve already made your mind up about something by trudging through it more. People talk about slow build and “wait until it reaches the good part!” but quite honestly, if a show takes an awful long time to get to whatever you believe is the good part or at least the meat of the story that makes it interesting, then it’s not a good show. It has bad pacing.

I have a gauge of limit as to when I personally rate or judge something. An album has 5 songs to hook me, less if the album is lesser than the standard. A show, has 5 episodes to get me invested, less if it fails the first two episodes. Movies have maybe an honest 15 - 25 minutes not counting slow logo reveals, previews .etc A game has maybe less than 2 hours to get me to want to revisit it.

So on and so forth. People will nag you about how you can’t judge things so early, but again, your time is more valuable.

I don’t quite like how the d-pad, buttons and analog sticks are kicked up so high. Analog sticks and the pads should’ve been swapped places.

The sales have not been exciting for me for quite a long time now. Everything on my wishlist, has sat at 10% ~ 15% for years, even when the games themselves have aged to where a deep discount should’ve happened but didn’t.

So now I just pirate whatever interests me, I have too much to play anyways.
