@Djungelurban: I do wonder though just how many of their weekly free games you've hypocritically piled up?
Seriously folks, this mindless Epic Games hate is ridiculous. It is improperly founded, spread, and quite petty. I've personally no grudge to bear with Epic, and see no reason to boycott nor hate them at all. Not every last game you buy or play has to be on Steam. Competition is good. Free games are great, especially in this financially stressful time.
Both stores host sales often enough, especially around holidays. Games typically cost the same amount on both Steam & the Epic Games Store. The only difference ends up being what launcher you use to launch a game. A launcher whose size is a mere drop in the bucket compared to the typical multi-terabyte drives most people might have by now.
Yes! Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age. Been waiting for this one to come to game pass ever since they announced it in Nov. 2019. "Will release through 2020" they said, but at least it finally has an official release date.
@Blk_Mage_Ctype: I have parents that are like you describe. It's difficult to watch, deal with, and ultimately feels impossible to fix. It's truly sad and I've hoped for years that it would go away on its own. ...It hasn't.
Blunt but well-said, Blk_Mage.
What's worse, is when the brainwashed and manipulated ones don't even know who they're being manipulated by, and by who I mean by QAnon. The ones whom most should be aware of and actively avoid by now..
@liquidsky74: Might want to pay attention to where you're getting your information from. What you're talking about is stuff that QAnon promotes, which is a crackpot conspiracy group that has the world going nuts right now.
Don't believe a word of it. You'd do yourself good to read up about them on places like Wikipedia, which does in fact provide 'facts', unlike the fake news that QAnon constantly "provides", conveniently without proof nor accountability.
But wait!- they told you to avoid "big tech", right? And Wikipedia is a bunch of liars now, right? Well, they're not, that's what QAnon wants you to think. They want you to only trust THEM. They happen to only provide lies; "Predictions", endless predictions that just so happen to NEVER come true, but people just keep on following them, like idiots. Bunch of lemmings eager to jump off the next stupidity cliff to their untimely deaths. (figuratively or literally, we will have to wait and see on that one..)
So yeah buddy, if you didn't get the gist of it already, Biden, tech companies, etc. are not your enemy. You've been lied to and are unfortunately just another gullible victim of a huge scheme to control folks in all the wrong ways. It's too late for some to get out of it it seems, but you can do yourself a favor, if you really try. Save yourself.
@paperwarior17: Would have been nice if it actually was. Playing against Lv. 9 CPUs can be difficult, unless you spam megaflare. Natural input lag + character delays + other latency sources = massive punishment from CPU.
The CPUs are really godly with him, though, as with most other characters.
@benjanime: Oh... my condolences. I personally started from Mobile while my PC was out of commission. (GPU underwent RMA process twice at the time..)
Played on a Galaxy Note 9, runs 'okay' at 30 FPS, but it's still a pain to play on a touch screen. Switched to PC as soon as I could. If they ever add controller support for mobile, (I doubt they ever will. Their other game, HI3rd still doesn't) then it might be perfectly playable.
On the other hand, if you've got a better phone, go for it. I really don't think there's anything to be concerned about as it comes to sharing your phone number with miHoYo, even if they are a Chinese company. I wouldn't expect any additional spam calls, chances of getting hacked or phone-jacked, or anything like that that might worry somebody. They've got a business to run, and they don't need additional foreign affairs-type issues, especially concerning a phone number belonging to a phone company outside of China. So no worries.
The only one thing really to note (and I don't think this concerns phone numbers all that much. If anything, using one might further secure your account) is that some users have gotten hacked this past month or two. The reasons for which have mostly been on miHoYo's side, (development company behind Genshin Impact) and in other cases, poor password security on the users' parts. Several concerning security issues have been silently dealt with by miHoYo recently, but some still stand, such as lack of Two-Factor authentication.
Here's hoping in due time they get with the program and realize third-party AUTH programs like the mobile authy app or google authenticator are not evil. Could be they are just anti foreign third-party apps, or perhaps just simply too lazy to do email confirmations for Two-factor as opposed to the apps.
Apologies for the long post, but just thought it best to lay out all the info I could at this time.
Hope it helps you & any other readers. Of course, any words I may have used about the company miHoYo that seem to be an opinion definitely are just that; not necessarily facts and not to be quoted as such. I've only had several years of experience playing games they've made, so I'm only going off expectations based on my own observed track record of them, if that clears things up.
Seems like they used the DeepFake™ technology. Looks incredibly-- no, perfectly real. For those not aware, it can make any face look like that of another. Any actor could be used and that face could be replaced with whose they wish, like Mark Hamill's younger self.
Could explain why he didn't move much once his face was finally shown, of course a really good CGI work would have the same implications.
Great episode overall, just lamentable that we must wait another full year for more, like Boba Fett's focused story. It's just fine though. We all saw the quality they brought. It was top-notch!
@dragonsama: What usually gets me is the poor performance of each game they make. This new one isn't looking any better in that regard. Played the demo and tried 2-player mode, and it becomes a slideshow at times with too many visual effects going on at once. Can't maintain 30 fps for very long.
@skyhighgam3r: Not sure what you're on about. You're welcome to your opinion of course, but the others were great and to be honest, quite over-powered. Joker, Byleth, Pirahna Plant, and Hero to name a few. All good designs. One of my favorites being Terry.
In my opinion, they need to put a halt on these troll releases while they're ahead. By that I mean ones like minecraft, which turned out to be awful. That purchase I do regret, even though I plan to have them all.
What they should add, is something akin to Astral Chain's Akira/Akane, or Elma/Kos-Mos from the Xeno series games. Astral Chain in particular could be very neat, and probably not that difficult to implement. As with how Shulk uses a held B-button to select his Monado Arts, the hero of Astral Chain could do the same to select their Legions. The one thing making that character choice less of a chance of happening, is the fact that they have spirits already.
Remember folks- ARMS was a special case. It did not necessarily debunk spirits deconfirming characters in the slightest. Only a second time will prove that-- which we have yet to see.
