The story of the present day in the first was bland. The story of the past was interesting to explore. I agree about the side quests, I skipped them entirely in the first, but some of the side quests in the 2nd were worth doing. The 2nd does a good job of listing which are side-story and which are side-fetch quests.
Game play is better, but similar. The improvements make it a fun challenge to take down the monsters piece by piece. I didn’t enjoy the game play of the first nearly as much.
The continuation of the story is good, but not as intriguing as the first. If story in the first was 10/10, this one is 8/10; so still pretty good.
If you enjoyed the first one, this one is definitely worth playing. There will also be a 3rd and having played the 2nd game will be required to understand the story.
Yeah, we’ll wait till Ghandi gets nukes… It’s not so fun then.
I wasn’t very clear, I was onky looking at past republican competitors. Pretty much any recent Democrat has done more to help the general public than republicans have in a long, long time.
I’m not sure who’s done more, Biden or Obama. I think there’s lots to consider there and both of them have been heavily hampered by the regressive republicans.
While hot water is definitely better, cold water is still a huge upgrade over tp.
If you have 2 toilets in your house you could consider getting cold water now and then moving it to s spare bathroom. Start converting your friends.
Rich flex, but no thanks
Pick a side and stop moving the goal posts please.
Or maybe you are enjoying your life in Russia, in which case I wish you the best of luck.
Again, this is overly simplifying an extremely complex issue, and even in your own words you acknowledge the complexity while sweeping it under the rug.
The choices that are presented to and decided by the president are rarely so easily evaluated and it is hard to believe that a conflict between Isreal and Palestine could be anything but extraordinarily complex.
Even Arkane alone at that time wouldn’t be considered indie. They had done a few contract jobs for major releases, like CoD, before developing Dishonored.
If you want a president that cares more about Americans than America, then you’ll love Joe Biden. If we compare republican to Democrat options of the past, you’d have to go back to Bush senior before you could even find a competitor to Biden. Before that, I think you’re back to Eisenhower.
Biden does the best he can, but the president’s powers are limited. Even when he tries to exercise them faithfully, he’s stopped by the republican supreme court.
To reduce those complex issues to single sentence, overly simplified questions is willfully disengenous.
I’m not sure Arkane and Bathesda could be considered as indie devs at the time of release. Bathesda had released Skyrim the year before.
You can in many places. Realtors do offer benefits though but usually not 6%.
When a possible fraud department calls you, you shouldn’t need to verify any digits of the card. Answer only yes or no.
Call them back if you need to give additional information.
When a fraud department calls you, you don’t need to provide any more information than your name and yes/no answers. If they are asking for any additional information, tell them that you don’t trust their authenticity and that you’ll call the number on the credit card. A legitimate agent will politely end the conversation there.
Then you better call that number on the card quickly.
That’s great if true. I’m seeing a lot of different information when searching for that though. Older sources say valve doesn’t get a cut, but newer sources are saying that deva can only issue 5000 free keys. Do you have a more recent source with a definitive answer?
Sure, that’s fine for a release that has a physical edition, but many do not.
Also, when buying physical copies I’m guessing that the dev gets an even smaller cut, but it probably depends on the retail location to a large degree.
That’s the same as buying from Steam. The publisher pays Steam and then gives the key to the customer. They get the same cut either way.
What if you could buy direct from the publisher or developer, but you could only download the game once? Let’s say you could still install it any number of times on any device so long as you had the source file in this scenario. Would you still be willing to pay $60 for a major title?
Would your willingness to buy a game change if you couldn’t get a refund in the above scenario, regardless of time played?
It was rather difficult to understand the point of this essay. It doesn’t state its thesis until about the middle. The first half is a philosophical review of automation games, taking a detour to explain what the word automation could mean (why?) to eventually arrive at the conclusion that tech bros (incorrectly associating them with Silicon Valley, which is focused on hardware, not software) are bad. The reasoning for which seems to be largely an opinion stated as fact with the supporting evidence being that these games are unrealistic.
I found it difficult to engage with these ideas because the linkage between them is so incredibly stretched that it is hard to see the connection at all.
Autocorrect really did a number on your comment.
