  • I scrolled through the mtx and… there is literally nothing in there that anyone should ever buy. Exception for the character redesign item, but if this is like first game, you can redesign your character between playthroughs.

    I feel like there’s some kinda argument here between the director and whatever suit wanted mtx. That stuff in the store is literally pointless to buy. RC? People will rent your pawn, that’s how you get it. Wakestones? Gold in game.

    Only thing I’d consider buying would be the eternal ferrystone, but that defeats the flow of the game, and they aren’t selling it.



  • I actually loved parts of the story from 1. Granted, a lot of it was pointless, shallow, needed expansion, better written characters, so on and so forth. But every scene with the dragon was enthralling. A lot of what happened after you beat it was interesting. And idk how to do spoilers here so I’ll be vague, but what happens at the final boss on a second playthrough blew my mind. I had no clue, and it had been hundreds of hours since, so my jaw literally dropped.






  • I watch it annually (for the game reveals and occasional Warframe announcements, and it’s just 1 night a year). It’s just been trailers interspersed with awards, celeb cameos, and the odd live performance for a while now. Not sure why people get upset about it, apart from being mad their game didn’t get X award. It’s never gonna be the Oscar’s, and I don’t want it to be. I want Kojima to come on stage and ramble about his new game for 10 minutes without actually saying shit.

    Edit: I read the article and they make fair points. They’re right that it should give more time to creators to make an acceptance speech. And the Muppets thing is always just odd.





  • The article is playing fast and loose as well.

    The US Navy has dispatched a guided-missile submarine to the Middle East.

    The posting was revealed by the military in an announcement late on Sunday. The unusual revelation regarding the location of the ship, which can launch nuclear missiles

    SSGNs are incapable of launching the missiles the article is thinking of. I suppose one could outfit the boat with the nuclear TLAM-D, but i doubt the Navy would bother.

    And there’s no chance in hell an SSBN, the actual sub with SLBMs on it, is going to surface anywhere and pop open a missile hatch (the missiles are launched submerged).

    Article is bunk, a GN showed up somewhere and is ready to put tomahawks through windows, business as usual for one of those boats. Show of force? Yes? Show of nuclear warhead force? No.

    Sauce - Submariner.

    Also sub fun fact, the 4 SSGNs in the US Navy are the Ohio, Michigan, Florida and Georgia. They have a building in Bangor for them, lovingly called the OMFG building.
