I mean, we do have a section for that kind of "gamer" discourse - Genmay and the Soapbox.

Fuck PvP lol, I like this game because it's PvE co-op. And this developer has enough trouble trying to balance one game mode, let alone adding a whole other where balance is way more important.

Can we drop this idiotic shit? Play the game or don't, I don't give a fuck. I'd rather discuss the actual game on PC. I'd have to go back and play HZD again, but for whatever reason Aloy feels like she controls differently in this one, and I'm not sure it's better. It feels more stiff or...

I have one, really good monitor, and this is a good price. Free bump.

I ran an optical HDMI cable through the wall to my PC in the next room over, to my 73" LG OLED and have been playing games sitting on the couch with a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. Checkmate, atheists.

How refreshing to see a spec chart that lets you know these are the expectations without DLSS.

The dude was historically bad at handling the community - it sucks that he took the fall for this particular incident, but realistically he just wasn't that good at his job.

If you do want to check grey market sites as well: gg.deals

CDKeys is my grey market key seller of choice.

True, I was just pointing that out because people keep saying, "well, it said at the start it was going to be enforced, so why are people complaining?" My point is that a) it wasn't completely clear it was going to be enforced (Arrowhead CEO even said this was not well-communicated to...

The thing about the verbiage in that screenshot is that it doesn't really imply that it would be enforced to where if you can't link, you can't play the game. It just says later users will be asked to "TRY" to link their account again. Plus, none of that really addresses the issue of the 100+...

Review scores are already back up to "Mixed" - glad people are reversing their negative reviews in light of what happened. The HD2 community seems to actually be pretty cohesive.

Also worth noting that a strong magnet moving across a hard drive is much more likely to cause problems. A static one, far less so.

Not saying the review bombing had no impact, but I'd bet that the unconditional refunds Steam was giving, as well as delisting the product in 100+ countries from sale entirely, had more to do with it. I hope the negative reviews get cleaned up, and people don't just forget about it and leave...

Good call. At least make it worth someone's time to OPTIONALLY do so (free super credits or some sort of incentive), rather than just forcing it on everyone and screwing over 100-ish countries who can't even normally get a PSN account.
