Ah my bad. Need that sarcasm tag haha

I mean I don’t know you but off hand that seems like the more likely scenario. This game doesn’t release until tomorrow so… uhhh, you got a review copy or something?

You think Konami paid for this game to have good reviews? I havent seen a bad review yet from any reliable outlets so uhhhh, that’s a lot of bribery

I was thinking the same thing. Kinda wish the conveyer belts would just fling them off into oblivion or something for me.

Who could possibly be motivated to do such a thing??? Hmmmm

Thats a pretty miserable take on modern life, and I’m amused that your golden era is during World War 1. Enjoy your mustard gas and spanish flu!

I was with you until the last two sentences and then you just dove overboard. Life is fucking great compared to just about any time in the past. You know refrigerators have only been around for a little over a hundred years? Same with antibiotics, antibacterial soaps, indoor plumbing, electricity, tv, radio, and obviously the internet. Sure corporate bullshit sucks, but the level of comfort we experience while not dying from minor infections by the time we turn 30 is pretty fantastic. Even with stupid rules like this video games are fucking amazing. I’m typing this message with a magic light up box that can play music, order me delivery, pay my bills, look up nearly any knowledge available to mankind, and show me things beyond the wildest imagination of anyone prior to the turn of the century. Life is amazing, we just have to keep fighting the assholes who want to keep all the awesome stuff for themselves.

Therefore, Capcom can go suck a fat shit.

Yup, took this off my wishlist as soon as I saw the requirement in the store. At least steam warns you about it. I would love to play this game but there’s so many other great games to play it doesn’t feel like much of a loss for me.

Depends on the exam. Some don’t even allow programmable calcs because they don’t want to deal with possible shit like this. I have already seen a certification exam where they provide the calculators as well.

I’ve had to provide my transcript for several job applications. Government ones seem to usually ask.

We are talking about lawmakers making this demand. They don’t have a fucking clue what the difference is between all these possibilities.

Much like when I hear about Call of duty I get a little surprised every time I hear this series is being made still. Not because it’s bad or anything, I really dont know, its just because the series got old and repetitive to me like a decade ago. How do people just keep eating the same regurgitated stuff over and over and still love it so much??

YSK the electoral college can get fucked.

Yeah that’s a potentially endless discussion right there. I actually think Sekiro was the hardest, even if it’s technically not a souls game. Part of what makes Elden Ring so easy is the number of tools and abilities to use, the summoning ashes, OP spells, and nearly always being able to summon two helper players for tough fights. Melania is so much like fighting Isshin, I think he’s way harder than her, and especially because you have to nail the timing with him. There’s no respeccing, using cheesy spells, or summoning help with that guy. Don’t get me wrong, Elden Ring is a great game, but most of the difficulty is easily overcome by just trying out the other stuff you can use.

I don’t, they are right, I can create my own challenge. It’s not really what I’m annoyed about either, its the whole design by a committee of vocal internet people which results in the same bland shit over and over. Part of what made these games cool is the things that are unique, and often times the most memorable moments are also the most difficult. Seeing From pivot because a bunch of people whined about it is just disappointing really. There was a time where the tag line for Dark Souls was “Prepare to Die”, but come down the line to Elden Ring and you can really feel how they’ve softened that edge up. The DLC feels like they sharpened the blade for its final outing, and people want it dulled immediately. To me that’s boring. Embrace the challenge and what you will remember and be satisfied by is overcoming it.

I likely will run my RL1 guy through it at some point. Man I really hit a nerve with the participation trophies for everyone crowd here, didn’t I?

Fuckin laaaaaaaaaaaame. I want a roll back option on this. If your gonna rebalance it for everyone crying just give them the “Im afraid to die mode”

So you buy it, add on content for a game you already know does not have this option. Its well known at this point none of the other games in the souls / fromsoft series dont have this option. But you still buy it and leave a bad review for it? What? Why? Go buy something else

Look at these dumbasses buying a DLC for a game that’s legendary for difficulty and then complaining its difficult. Its like buying soda and complaining there’s too much sugar in it. Go buy something else! Not everything needs to be turned into this mundane fit for everyone bullshit.

Holy fuckin shit
