I would like a Splatoon-like game on other platforms (namely PC). I liked the gameplay and aesthetic in Splatoon 2 (haven’t played 3), but was annoyed that Salmon Run was only every other day and I sucked at aiming with joycons/pro controller, so competitive modes weren’t the greatest for me.

I’m currently playing through a FO4 mod run, so sounds like I better finish before this update drops and breaks all the mods.

I agree that Division 1 had a better atmosphere. The snow covering the ruined city gave a bleak and oppressive tone, which was a much better fit for the theme of the game.

There are still people actively playing the game, and the endgame is in a pretty good spot overall imo. I would definitely keep an eye out this holiday season and nab it when it goes on sale. Go get 'em, agent!
Edit: I just checked Steam and it’s currently 70% off.

The Division 3 wasn’t technically announced, it was just mentioned during an investor press release. I wouldn’t expect it to release for at least another 5 years. The Division Heartland is a spin-off PvPvE survival shooter, akin to the Survival mode from The Division 1.

Personally, I’m glad they’re continuing support for Division 2 as the game’s right up my alley as far the kinds of games I like. If they’re putting this kind of TLC into it, then they likely have more content planned than whatever is slated for 2025.

I can only speak for myself, but I completely passed on GTA5 because they took so damn long to bring it to pc, then once it was, the only “sale” they would have on it was when it was bundled with those shark cards.

To add to this, bring back content I paid for. I bought Forsaken and took a break before finishing it, and now it’s gone.

I gave him a dolla

My personal opinion is stay away until they show positive change. I stepped away from WoW in 2018 when it became increasingly apparent that they are designing to keep players grinding, rather than actually having fun, then the infamous Blizzcon that year (Blitzchung debacle and “Do you guys not have phones?”) cemented my stance on not playing anything Blizzard. They have shown that they only see their players as wallets to extract money from and their employees as cheap labor to exploit and discard.

So has there been positive change? Not that I’ve seen. It’s still too early to tell if the MS acquisition will do anything on that front. From what I’ve heard of Diablo 4, it’s pretty boring once you get pas the initial “ooh, ahh” factor, and Overwatch 2 has been more or less a dumpster fire since it released.

Basically, Fortnite is rolling out a new system with user-generated “islands” that can have their own independent rating from the main game. If an island is rated E for everyone or E10+(as opposed to the base game’s rating of T for teen), some of the game’s cosmetics aren’t able to be equipped in those areas. People are upset because 1. they paid for those, and 2. apparently there are inconsistencies between what is allowed and what isn’t.

As much as I dislike Musk, I want to see his setup. Does he have some crazy custom home theater setup for maximum immersion, or does he just sit on the couch or at a desk like the rest of us?

I played off and on a bit, and purchased Forsaken when I was playing last. I took another break before playing through it all, then they sunset the content. I paid for content that I never got to finish and can no longer play. So yeah, I’m definitely done with Destiny 2 and probably whatever else Bungle puts out.

Go with what you know, I guess. He’s obviously passionate about MMOs.

I remember seeing a lot of criticism on him back in his WoW days. After he left, Blizzard had to hire two people to fill his role, one for PvE and one for PvP. It was amusing to see the general sentiment go from “good riddance!” to “omg please come back! these guys are worse!” over the span of several months.

It’s not illegal, but the airline could cancel your return ticket and/or blacklist you.

All this Starfield hype got me wanting to play… Fallout 4. I found an interesting mod collection on NexusMods (A Storywealth) and I’ve been having fun.

I’ll pick up Starfield later after DLC and fixes and mods come out.
