I might be wrong, but wasn't the intended point of monopoly to deliberately be not fun? Like it was originally a game designed to show that land ownership by large monopolies was a bad idea, and as such the game is only fun for whoever is winning.
Just got out of a meeting a little while ago, I've since spent a good portion of my ride home screaming in incoherent rage. This involves one of my companies owners (we're a family bushiness set up by his father) who I've mentioned before I'm sure. so the meeting's about testing information and long term data, blah blah blah. Turns out we don't have anything that fits the time frame he wants, which despite it not being on anyone's mind when we started this testing is unacceptable, as is the concept of testing to international standards, and me changing my mind about answers to the reliability of his half assed replacement methods that I'd given months ago. any sort of attempt by any other person in the room to get him to share any responsibility for the situation we're in was roundly defeated by blistering (and unfounded) self confidence. I have honestly never been so close to quitting, his behavior is unacceptable but HR can't/won't do anything about it because he co-owns the damn company and what can you do, ask his brother to talk to him? And he's at least partially responsible for why the last of my bosses left the company or the department.
well, Netflix Witcher casting looks bloody terrible. And Battlefield 5 is looking good now. What crazy world are we in? Edit: Activision have turned the abusive microtransactions up to 11. Back to normal
That's one of the things that put me off Battlefield 4 last time I played it. I was at a decent sniping position on that map with the big satellite dish and suddenly I got 1-shotted from an unseen attacker. Killcam showed me it was someone on the opposite end of the map. I looked up the weapon he used and it was a sniper rifle which might look like a regular rifle, but it behaves like an experimental rail rifle which can shoot a 15mm slug at 3km/second and pinpoint accuracy such as could knock a flea from a dog's arse. I saw it can be unlocked by maybe 6 months of in-game effort, or spend real money...
You mean EA, of course. Activision make the other shitty repetitive cashcow FPS franchise. Still, easy mistake to make given they're both microtransaction obsessed mofos. The alternative is, cosmetic only stuff, which I think may be the case but honestly I have zero owls, so I couldn't give a hoot about Blah Cops 4 and Bettlefeld V if I even wanted to. Or, in other words, the purchased stuff is just there to show off that you have more money than sense and ensure you're going to be the target of every good player in regular gear who isn't a rich dickhead.
And/or don't have a damn clue how to play. (Usual case for someone with a premium-only thing in World of Tanks/Warships/Warplanes)
I'm honestly considering upgrading my PC for Battlefield 5. I don't really care about cosmetics but the maps they've shown honestly look pretty good. Just don't know if it's worth spending £450 for a single game! (probably isn't)
You could always use it for other games, like Battlefront III, Battlefield 6, Battlefront IV, Battlefield 7, Battlefront V: The Empire Strikes Back.... And Horse Shrinking Testicle Simulator may be coming to the PC as well! In three years! When it gets a PS5 and XBox 360 Two rerelease!
The horses in Reddy Deaddy Demption maybe have incredible expando-balls, but can they lay shit-slicks to send your enemies out of control like in MGS 5...?
I grew up in farm country, and I regret to inform you that the animator did not do due diligence in their fecal research. That is (shockingly!) not visually or viscously accurate. I also regret that I happen to know that. . .
Yeah, there are many things off with him. My girlfriend also grew up with horses and she has, on watching me play MGSV, muttered the phrase "them legs don't look right"
