Also, how are people seriously defending this pile of garbage? My brother is such a huge fanboy and we watched this movie together a few days ago. While I already knew what I was walking into after TLJ, and my brother had much lowered expectations, even he felt completely disappointed by this mess of a movie. The movie had no substance, didn't make you feel any emotions due to the lack of build and payoff, horrible pacing, too many inconsistencies in how Rey could and couldn't use the force (why would some storm troopers be able to force Rey to run with her friends on that stupid desert planet that Lando was conveniently on? Because they need her to fall into that stupid sand pit. Done.). While my brother had lowered expectations, he's still an optimist, especially when it comes to his precious Star Wars, yet even he is completely over this franchise (he says there are only seven episodes). I dunno how anyone could have enjoyed this movie, but if you did, congrats and more power to you. Enjoy.
Heh, my point was that the "best possible" returns are monsters you don't own, that you don't even need to complete most dungeons. Some of the harder dungeons might need a magic stone or two (or dozen) to brute force through. But yeah, I understand the pokemon nature of collecting is what drives it. Sad how easily they exploit those people.
I can't believe people still pay money for this. I mean, $5 for one pull? I saved up a bunch of magic stones and used them during one of their "special events" and got utter garbage in 5-6 pulls. I constantly read on the P&D forums about people who spend hundreds of dollars on stones and get utter crap. Everything about the nature of that game is random. It's so stupid. And yet they make over $4.5 million a day? People are amazing.
BTW, I have a pretty decent account with all of the special event dragons (half of them suck), Awoken Hera, Zeus, etc. so of course it's possible to play and not pay. I just still can't believe that people throw their money at this game when 90% of the pulls are trash.
He was right when he said "Probably shouldn't say this." Just keep your fucking mouth shut, please. In fact, how about not saying one more word until Mass Effect 4 comes out. If it's good, you can keep your goddamn mouth shut. Then you can listen to us when we say, Ohhhh, we coulda not bought your stupid game, but we did! We coulda waited for some used copies, but we bought them new, so we could put our money in your greedy little hands!
If it's bad, well, you can build a house from the used game cases we throw at you, you ****.
Sorry, been itching to use that since I'm learning Russian. Seriously though, dumb for Bioware to go out and say that the next ME game will appeal to newcomers and longtime fans alike. Of course they want their audience to be as big as it can possibly be: they want to sell as many copies as they can! Why do they even bother to say it like it's news? I like Bioware still (sorta), but how about telling us something we don't know?
Have to admit, I never really watched GS News until I saw Jess McDonnel's face all over the front page. Has she been doing this for long or have I just missed it all along?
I can't believe this, but I went to school with the guy in the picture (not going to name him). He's a brilliant programmer and a nice guy. I honestly didn't even recognize him from the artist's picture, but my brother mentioned it when he saw this news article (my brother found out from his facebook that it is indeed our old friend from school). Of all the random articles... this is just bizarre.
I don't buy these things to resell, so I care little about any dollar value attached to whatever these collector's editions come with. So to that end, I've been very disappointed with the amount of money I've spent on them as they do end up collecting dust. Some of the CE's that come with in-game extras are nice, but it definitely seems like it's just a hook to get you to spend that extra money for more worthless packaged stuff.
I don't buy CE's anymore now, and I doubt I'll be convinced to buy them again anytime soon unless, as it was mentioned in the video, there is something in there that will definitely enhance my enjoyment of the game. Statues and impractical controllers aren't on that list, but soundtracks and artbooks for a series I really like (especially when they have some in-depth commentary) might be. Interesting discussion!
