They made those annoying amazing light flares. What more do you want?? (/s)

Look up day 9 of their posts.

I love the combat. It reminds me of Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy, which I had a blast playing back in the day.

“I can’t see yet another ad before other people do! Boooo!” Wtf is wrong with people?

“They asked for feedback, so we can be as shitty as we want.” And you have the gall to call OP “childish and disrespectful”.

I’m not talking about the father, I’m talking about the shitty, patronizing responses calling op childish or out of line for deciding how they want to remember their own father.

Funerals aren’t for the dead, they’re for the living. People should feel free to commemorate or memorialize their loved ones how they see fit. Demanding they do it your way is shitty and self centered.

It does justice to the source material

Funny joke.

I would love for a big franchise or studio to just drop their next big hit some day with zero leadup. HL3 would be perfect for it - just pop it up on the steam homepage and see what happens.

I haven’t bought a console in over a decade, but I was under the impression that most/all “physical” copies these days were little more then digital download codes on discs or in cases. How many actually hold the whole game, enough to qualify as “owning” it?

Worth noting that’s not the date you should check back, more of a “by this date” suggestion. Reservations are still being served regularly, so keep an eye out for that email.

A queue system really undercuts any scalper that would consider the controller a good target. There will of course be people without patience that could payout, but the larger market will just wait until their turn to order comes up. Seems like a bad investment for someone that relies on FOMO to profit.

Same for all Indies bought up by larger companies. At best they seem to get broken up and dispersed in the company. Most just seem to be ballast used to pad stock value, then tossed when it’s the least bit beneficial to their owners.

Instead of having people frantically trying to beat robo-scalpers through a system (predictably) crashing through surge of demand, people would get into the queue and scalpers would have had no incentive to exploit FOMO that wouldn’t exist. There probably would’ve still been a tech issues at the start, but it would’ve smoothed out on it’s own instead of having people wonder for a week if they’d be able to even submit an order, hoping they don’t miss the next announcement (which I almost did).

The was absolutely a queue.

Source: I was in it.

People got errors during the check out,

And? With the queue, people were able to continue submitting orders as things calmed down. There will always be a rush to be first. The queue handles it better by not outright denying those who didn’t make it in right away. This also reduces the FOMO that funds scalpers’ abuse of the system.

As for account age, it doesn’t really matter when it is set at - any limitation reduces the number of bots able to spam real users out of a purchase. Admittedly, that only really helps if there’s also a limit on number of units bought, which I don’t think was implemented this time, either, for whatever reason.

Um, actually, nobody knew what the Death Star was until they used it on Alderaan. 🤓

They did a hardware launch perfectly for the Deck - Account of minimum age needed, and a queue to buy as devices became available. Why the hell did they go with the old, shit version that only serves scalpers that use bots to scoop up every item?

This controller is very obviously nothing like the original, and comes years after concerted effort to maximize controller support through the Deck.
