  • I think the base game is really a testament to the fact that CDPR have a lot of success with open world games, but don't really do them very well... They make really solid campaigns, and then pad them out with utter nonsense that kills the pacing stone-cold dead.

    "Oh hey, here's something really urgent. We cannot stress enough how urgent it is. By the way we've also just unlocked about a hundred side quests. Enjoy!"

    I'm still salty that I missed one of the ending achievements because if you follow the instructions it gives you, it will cause a fail state on that particular ending.

  • Make sure to make a save at the appropriate point so you can do both paths.

  • I found it rough near the start, but it gets a lot easier as you go on, once you get more of a feel for when attacks are coming. Eventually you'll be dodging things you've never seen before just on instinct.

    Dodges are a lot easier than parries, even if you don't get the extra AP from it. Fights last a bit longer, but you can definitely plough through most of it even with bad timing. Explore thoroughly in act 1, otherwise you'll probably be underlevelled for the last boss there. Not really any need to grind mindlessly, but you can if you really need the extra levels.

  • Do yourself a favour and get the Ultimate Edition. Phantom Liberty is the only real reason to put yourself through it.

  • If you buy something for that price, I hope you have somebody who can come and get you when it fucks up and leaves you in the middle of nowhere.

  • I actually had that happen on the Android one a few years ago. I'm guessing the Apple one is years behind.

  • Best we could manage was failing to get anywhere in a Dizzy game.

  • Wow, if only there was some software originating in Finland they could use...

  • It's all about intent.

    If a film is trying to be a pseudo-intellectual fuck-fest and fails to do so it should be called out on it. Shutter Island I think tries it and fails. It's like Scorsese saw Memento, thought "I can do that", but he couldn't.

    If a film is just dumb fun like M3GAN, then that's OK. More than fine. The worst thing you can do there is be boring. Michael Bay made robots fighting boring. Colin Trevorrow made dinosaurs boring. If you're going to be dumb then at least be fun.

    Hell, even Tron Ares is OK if you go into it expecting a two hour long music video. If you go into it expecting good acting, a script, a story, or anything other than Trent Reznor assaulting your eardrums to a light show, you're going to be disappointed.

  • If only social media was still full of humans...

  • I'd rather use an Android TV box, so I can have Dolby Vision, etc.

  • I dunno, killing the idea of ownership of games was pretty bad.

    I don't think any amount of Proton patches submitted is going to bring that back.

  • confused British noises

  • It'll certainly save on those pension contributions.

  • You missed the 3D which came and went because nothing really supported it.

  • It's one healthcare, Michael. What could it cost? $2000?

  • LinkedIn seems to be mostly Indians cosplaying as ruthless capitalists, telling stories of imaginary cruelty against imaginary employees for imaginary slights.

  • Facebook now consists of two types of content.

    • Bots, scraping content from other bots, for the enjoyment of bots.
    • Racism.
  • I think people have Epstein wrong. Ghislaine wasn't his accomplice. He was hers. Her father was linked to Mossad quite a lot and was buried in Jerusalem. The whole Maxwell family is crooked as all fuck.

  • I'll only accept a console is retro if you can emulate it playably on a phone.
