Rayman? Owned by Ubi right? Why does it need kick-starting?

When I was on high school 20 years ago I was the only person I knew who played the campaigns.
- Comment on Captain Price seems to die in a cut ending from Modern Warfare 3, uncovered 13 years later 4 months ago:
Young people? Every young gamer I know has never played the campaign in any Call of Duty game despite playing multiplayer in all of them. The only people who do are older and they’re far, far more willing to accept mediocre crap.
In fact these days the young people are all playing Fortnite anyway.

You are so incorrect that I’m shaded you were able to use a keyboard that was diverted in your own drool. Go get a grip and use it to keep hold of a fucking clue.
- Comment on Why Are Rap*** & Ped** Protected In Jail? 4 months ago:
Uhuh and when an innocent person is murdered by a group of vigilante morons, because murderous groups never, ever stop to check, every single one of those vigilante morons can go to prison so they can do the crime for their time. Law and order exists for a reason, imprisonment is the consequence of their actions. If they’re assaulted, that’s assault, if they’re murdered, that’s murder.
Besides. Why the fuck would you want to lower yourself like that? Why go to prison for a rapist, is it worth it? If you think so, that just means the rapist will take your life as well.

Nobody cares what you doubt whatsoever because you’ve shown yourself to be deliriously stupid throughout this entire thread. “Here is a source with a not-at-all ominously bland name proving ALL OF SCIENCE AND MEDICINE WRONG” says the moron.
Three decades ago I learnt that covering your mouth when you cough helps stop spreading germs. I was a toddler and you still haven’t reached that level of intelligence. Reading a children’s science book would blow your tiny mind.

If I pause a video, literally the only thing that is absolutely one hundred percent certain is that I’m not looking at the video. What a stupid idea.

How easy would it have been to include the name of the game in either of your comments?
- Comment on Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection Launch Is a Disaster - IGN 6 months ago:
That’s a fair point. Though the actual people I’ve seen talking about it have said it’s buggy as well though, more than a few have refunded.
- Comment on Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection Launch Is a Disaster - IGN 6 months ago:
But all people have said is that it’s buggy on switch (with screenshot proof) and that there weren’t enough servers for hours after launch. Is it you that’s overblowing it?
- Comment on Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection Launch Is a Disaster - IGN 6 months ago:
Believe it or not it’s possible to gather information about things without directly experiencing it and I tend to do this with new games. I also already have the originals on steam.
Yes and it’s a multiplayer classic that they couldn’t play multiplayer in. It doesn’t ruin the game, it didn’t destroy the experience permanently, it’s not the end of the world, but it’s shit and only happened because of the publisher’s greed. No clue why you feel the need to defend it really.
- Comment on Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection Launch Is a Disaster - IGN 6 months ago:
I don’t own the game. It’s not a problem for me at all. It’s a principle, and a reflection of a publisher’s greed and disrespect towards its customers.
Do you know that people bought the game, downloaded it, installed it, sat to play it, and couldn’t because the publisher didn’t want to pay for the required servers for their most loyal customers to do so?
Sure, it’s good that there are servers now, but that’s the minimum I expect and I expect them there at launch. You know, so people who have paid money to play their game actually can. Far be it for me to think an online multiplayer game should have servers to play online multiplayer in when it’s available to buy.
- Comment on Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection Launch Is a Disaster - IGN 6 months ago:
I recall there being plenty of talk about Helldivers servers. About a month’s worth. Meanwhile I haven’t seen a single person say this is the worst thing that’s ever happened or that it’s never happened before with other games, just that releasing a multiplayer game and only having three servers available is absurd. That and the apparently poor port at least on Switch detailed in another comment.
Believe it or not, shit happening before doesn’t change anything. Shit’s still shit. And we all already know the only actual obstacle to ensuring a smooth multiplayer launch (assuming a competently made game, of course) is paying for enough servers to handle the initial surge. They just prefer not to spend that money and present a poor experience to customers who buy the game at launch instead, because fuck them right.
- Comment on Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection Launch Is a Disaster - IGN 6 months ago:
…but not before launch? The game launched and they weren’t there? So they released a game and there were only three servers available? Hours later they added a bunch of servers? AFTER LAUNCH? Is there another way I can phrase this so you realise how stupid it is that you’re defending it?
- Comment on Trans youth will no longer be prescribed puberty blockers, NHS England says 6 months ago:
You can’t get any trans care that isn’t reversible until you’re an adult who can legally consent to it. Puberty blockers are reversible, you just stop taking them and go through puberty. This change is completely anti-scientific and pro-bigotry. It’s indefensible.

- Comment on Playing Pillars of Eternity for the first time 8 months ago:
Oh yeah, you’ve got to go full chaotic evil for the lich. I revived Staunton Vane (it’s been a while now, that’s the dwarf with the tragic backstory who works for evil woman whose name I’ve forgotten I believe) as an undead, I had a few lich only companions who were undead (they don’t talk much though, most of them whine about being controlled if I remember right), my city was dark and almost desolate, filled almost entirely with undead subjects. My councillors, the ones still alive, were a bit terrified and hopeless. By the end my Lich was so good at supporting the undead characters that I started to just go with a fun undead party. Poor enemies must’ve been terrified.
It was incredibly macabre and grim, of course, but it was so damn cool.
- Comment on Playing Pillars of Eternity for the first time 8 months ago:
I think it’s simpler character creation-wise because DND has gotten simpler in the same area, definitely seems much less complex than before.
Wrath is going to be my favourite for a very long time I suspect because of the Lich thing. I’ve always wanted that since playing DND games as a kid and it’s the only game that allowed it. Then it went above and beyond, I could reanimate almost anything, it was great.
- Comment on Playing Pillars of Eternity for the first time 8 months ago:
Baldur’s Gate 3 is incredibly detailed in combat though, so much so that it takes sometime to wrap your head around it. I’m addition to pushing and jumping, which both sound so simple but have a huge effect on gameplay, there’s also environmental things that you just don’t think of because in other games in the genre it isn’t an option. As an example, there’s a giant spider that wanders around on webs and summons smaller spiders from eggs, you can sneak around to destroy the eggs before combat to stop summoning and destroy the webs whilst the spider is on them to cause it to drop and take extreme damage.
So you’re right that character building may be better in Pathfinder - I really do love casting touch spells through weapons, it’s great - the combat in Baldur’s Gate 3 is far more interactive and dynamic in combat. It’s also way more accessible.
Either is a good choice, but I give the edge to Baldur’s Gate 3 because, well, every single line is voice acted and motion captured, and the freedom you get in the story is astoinding. It’s such a profound improvement, a night and day difference from the basically everything else in the genre.
- Comment on Playing Pillars of Eternity for the first time 8 months ago:
If you’re looking for similar games to move onto, Baldur’s Gate 3 is in its own tier, right at the top of the genre. Not only that but it’s a step forward mechanically and presentation wise for the whole genre as well. In this game I once threw an angry hyena at an enemy. Later just threw enemies at their friends.
Pathfinder Kingmaker and Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous are both excellent as well. Especially Wrath, though still with the aged style graphically speaking. You can cast touch spells through weapons! In the second one I became a lich queen with an army of undead, it might be my favourite CRPG ever because of that. It’s awesome.
Divinity Original Sin and its sequel are also brilliant, made by bg3 Devs Larian on their own ruleset. I’m currently replying the second one this with my sister (yep, it’s co-op), we are both playing undead. We are healed by poison and damaged by healing. Very cool.
This is my favourite genre, if you can’t tell.

Do you really think the people in charge and responsible for that decision are the ones who got fired? Do you really think that’s how accountability works in giant mega corporations?
