I have a real hard time believing someone could get through normal difficulty in the same amount of time as realistic difficulty.

@R34Vegeta: it’s a lot more of the same. While some say it’s better, I myself as well as my friends who put a lot of time in the 1st disagree. You spend almost as much time rummaging through your newly acquired gear as you do playing the game and as a solo player (I did a lot of solo) deaths feel cheap. Almost every time I’d die it’s because I’d be holding down an area and enemies would spawn and come through doors behind you that aren’t even accessible to you.

It’s one thing to be out maneuvered or flanked (which the AI is pretty good about doing), but the cheap tactics just became abundantly annoying especially when you’d lose progress in the no Respawn zones.

@magneisuemwinterjuice: Or they just don’t like the character in general? Was there this big of an uproar for Horizon Zero Dawn or Uncharted: The Lost Legacy? Maybe it’s because Ms. Marvel isn’t the first thing you think of when you hear “The Avengers”?

No doubt there are those who hate just because it’s a woman, but don’t generalize over everything.

@thomaswmak: I think the problem is people want skins that are priced reasonably. They also do the bs where you have to buy premium currency packs (one pack that’s not enough to buy an item and another pack that’s more than what you need for an item) instead of just being able to buy an item outright.

You’re absolutely right, the company needs a way to make money. It just feels like maybe this wasn’t the greatest way to do it. The fact that it cost so much money to even be eligible to “unlock” or pay for the crowning item in the recent event is a tad ridiculous.

Either way, developers and the free to play community need to be able to come to a better understanding.

@Barighm: The thing that is kind of aggravating is the whole “glorified” angle. It’s there, yea, but is it glorified because it’s there? If that’s glorified then violence in general is extremely glorified, not just chainsawing someone, but violence in general. I think you’re absolutely right though, if a kid decides he/she wants to smoke because of one character in a video game, there’s some issues outside of the game.

A game with some of the most violent methods of murder, but at least no one smokes.... good grief.

Just because someone smokes in a game, is it really glamorizing it?

I’m kind of thinking things like this are borderline disrespectful. If you don’t follow ANY source material, why even say it’s a Joker film? Because the name and brand is guaranteed to give you a leg up in earnings? I’m not completely dismissing the movie, but I could see real fans being mad about this. Almost makes me think of Deadpool from Wolverine Origins

That pre-order f**kery ?. I think it’s official that I will never return to NBA2K... this is sad.

This is not going to bring back old players. I was one of those old players, I paid the full price for the game and full price for the annual pass which is now all free. Those of us who supported the game from the get go kind of got shafted here. Bungie/Activision said you couldn’t play The Forsaken without the first bunch of additional content, people complained, and got what so many other people paid for at the cost of nothing.

So the problem where those of us who paid for the first expansion and then refused to pay more, still exists.

It has nothing to do with friends falling into certain categories. My friends and I have very different tastes, but when a game has substance and is a complete game, we can enjoy it. This has to do with a half-assed game with very little content and EA/BioWare continuously not listening to the fan base when it comes to fixing the loot system. You showed off a demo that was essentially a lie and now you’re paying for it... end of story.
