Morrowind
Any time a critical character dies (usually because you’re on a killing spree) it says that. But it’s also become a meme when someone famous dies in real life.

“With this character’s death, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created.”
- Comment on Rumors of Sony Acquiring FromSoft’s Parent Company - GAMESCENSOR 2 days ago:
I don’t find that hypocritical. My issue with acquisitions is that it makes multiplatform games potentially exclusive.
Franchises they built and invested in should be exclusive. Franchises they hoard with no additional resources should remain multiplatform.

I definitely saw people looking at the culture angle as a silver lining or sometimes as a potential net positive. I only saw fanboys celebrating Bethesda though.
Either way it seemed to me like most were looking at the potential upside. Not that they were actually glad that it happened.

Kinda seems like only xbox fanboys were applauding it. I hate multiplatform developers getting bought and made exclusive.
- Comment on Pocketpair Confirms Which Patents Nintendo And The Pokemon Company Are Suing It Over 2 weeks ago:
What I always hear is that companies will send C&D letters to small ventures, because it creates precedence. Without that, a company loses the right to sue.
I wonder how true that actually is.

Not a fan of autopilot or subtracting flags (that one really screws with my head). But I like the game!

Also, if they are look at the ups and downs, hopefully they invested when it hit the dip.

For me, I think it just depends. Kind of like how “the” can be “thee” or “thuh” depending on how much I’m enunciating.
- Comment on Whatever happened to racing games 3 weeks ago:
It’s weird that games nailed run racing games back in the PS2/Xbox era. Between Burnout, Midnight Club, Need for Speed, all of them peaked. Then couldn’t repeat formula. Then on the PS3 they had Motorstorm. But really there hasn’t been a lot of fun racing games since.

I used to play the crap out of this game. I got a ridiculous amount of stuff without paying a dime too. I had to stop playing because it took too much of my time.

I have that one on the PS2. I don’t know that there is a better Sonic collection.

I thought it was fine. I don’t know about underrated though. I don’t think it’s nearly as good as Xcom.
- Comment on Expedition 33 Dev Confirms $50 Price Is Correct, '30+ Hours of Main Game' 4 weeks ago:
I’m kind of in a different boat with this. I’m paying for quality, not quantity. Especially since I don’t have as much free time as I did 20 years ago.
So if I can play through a phenomenal story within a couple months over a 20 hour game (which usually takes me 30 hours) at the height of the hype when people are still talking about it, I love it. Give me efficient storytelling.
In fact, if it’s something longer, it kind makes me rethink it whether I want to pay full price. Why rush?

I love playing reach in God mode with infinite abilities just mowing down enemies. Just remember to turn on Grunt Birthday Party.

I really like some of the Halo games for this, especially any levels that don’t involve The Flood. The inventive hit-boxes, slow movements, the vehicles that are fun to just drive around, and the addition of gameplay modifiers, they’re pretty cathartic for me.

Their comment sounds like something you spam on a bunch of posts to get someone to click the scam link.
- Comment on A New Dawn | Halo Studios 1 month ago:
Yeah, Halo Infinite just skips everything that Halo 5 set up. Everything Promethean is over. There are no more Spartan companions (whether any are still alive or not is kind of up in the air). Humans are on the brink of extinction. The whole game is just telling you that’s the new reality. Not really a lot of plot, just world building.
- Comment on A New Dawn | Halo Studios 1 month ago:
I just want a sequel to Halo 5 that concludes the Promethean trilogy. The game ended at a great spot for a final chapter, not a fucking epilogue.
- Comment on Until Dawn Remake Is Being Criticized For Looking "Way Worse" Than The Original 1 month ago:
I liked the FF8 remaster. The field models are just field models. It’s not like they look like the FMV cutscene character models on the original either. They’re just so distorted that you have to imagine the FMV characters.
Editing out Siren’s bush was a sin though.
- Comment on After 11 years, Xbox One emulators are finally coming to PC - but they're not actually using emulation at all 1 month ago:
I STRONGLY disagree. 5 was a letdown with some bright spots. Infinite is offensively bad with no redeeming value.
Even if you remove Infinite, 5’s combat is better than 4’s in every single way. I would split second worst between those two depending on what aspects you’re comparing.

As far as I know, they gave up on assassinations too. To be honest, by the time I finished the game, the missing features were at the bottom of the list of problems I had with it.

It did not release with co-op. I think they had to figure out how to make it work with the open world map and zip lining. When I had finished it, it still didn’t have it. When they added it, they also announced that they had stopped trying to make local co-op work.

I’ve said before, Infinite feels like the DLC to a Halo 6 game that was never released.
- Comment on After 11 years, Xbox One emulators are finally coming to PC - but they're not actually using emulation at all 1 month ago:
This is my biggest complaint. Halo 6 was set up to be an amazing game. Then Infinite ended up with zero story. The most interesting stuff in Infinite were the little flashback sequences that bridge 5 to Infinite.

I have a lot of problems with it. Between the “story” and the copy-paste map. I would rather the game didn’t exist, because at least then they could make a follow up to 5’s end.
I really don’t want to spoil your fun if you’re enjoying it though. A lot of the gameplay elements are fun to play around with.

Halo 5 had a lot of problems. Bit it’s a damned masterpiece compared to Infinite.
Halo 5 had great gunplay, Warzone Firefight was a blast, the Guardians were a great stand-in for the Halo rings, Cortana was an intimidating enemy by the end of the game, the lootboxes were actually better than the armor cores and marketplace from Infinite.
There are A LOT of negatives in there too. But a lot of positives. Infinite is just a shitshow from the beginning.

I don’t think that’s true with how much support they give to their first party titles. I mean, their console exclusives are top-tier.

Another good one. I’ll include it.

I included Fall Guys because I liked it. I included Fortnite because it’s one of the most popular games ever made. It would be weird not to include it.
