No, it really doesn’t at all in a sense that anyone cares remotely about.

I have access too and it looks like online matchmaking is not optional in this one. It’s going to be a hard pass from me especially when randos can’t get past the first mission on the easiest difficulty.

Also the gunplay is not great, the iron sights feel awful to use especially.

I think it will fully come out in at least a perpetual alpha mode like 7 Days to Die one day.

I also think it will probably flop.

Destiny 2 isn’t really online competitive for starters.

Personally, as someone who returned recently after a long break, the new maps absolutely suck with the gimped ass mount they give you. Even after unlocking a bunch of masteries it’s still a massive chore to navigate around the map. You mostly go around doing limited time events and especially rifts (which could point you to a part of the map you can’t directly travel to) where if you don’t get enough “contribution” before the timer ends it doesn’t count.

Absolute garbage map and mount mechanics design for this expansion sadly and I’ve already put it down for something else.

They way it reads is that they were actually playing and circumventing bans, possibly selling accounts too maybe. They were streaming their exploits on Twitch too.

I just hope “injected code” and “overlays” don’t become somehow actually illegal because of these rulings because there are plenty of valid uses too.

I was originally in this camp from the very underwhelming launch it had. Now though, they’ve spent 7 years actually completing the game they started and beyond and its definitely worth the money. Incredibly, all of the content you see in the video is included in the base game, there’s no paid DLCs at all despite the years of work that’s gone into it now.

Yeah I agree, I don’t get the halo magic from it either.

Every time I try to get back into this game it ends in misery because I usually get stuck and can’t progress for whatever reason.

I guess its not free anymore ☹️

For free? Yeah ESO is a good deal.

However, be aware of its massive shortcomings and once you begin to feel the bite of the horrendous cash store be prepared to ditch it and move on. At a certain point it’s just a disappointment considering how great it could be if they weren’t trying to nickel and dime you constantly (and it’s far more than a nickle or dime too).

Pushing m+ raiting lost its appeal for me when I realized how widespread paid gold carries are. The majority of people with good enough raiting that you’d want to party with barely know their class rotation. Raider.io is basically completely bullshit outside of the very top guilds and m+ teams in the world who earned it legitimately.

This is a pretty good take.

Personally I’m bored of it and have been for several expansions. I buy the xpac, play for a few weeks to check out end game, realize that it’s the same boring grind with a lick of paint and shelve it again.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with Wow and that’s kind of the problem. By focusing on mass appeal the game has lost its soul. It’s now about buying gold and paying for carries and nothing matters at all in it. I’m surprised that gdkp culture from classic hasn’t fully killed traditional guild raiding in retail yet.
