Is this the first aggressive frame machine gun?

Bombas judging by the hexagons

This article might be a bit late? Other news media saying the decision has been reversed already

Not sure how recently you uninstalled but the power cap hasn’t increased since lightfall so there has been no power grind if you’ve reached pinnacle cap

Nice write up! I appreciate you for putting in descriptions for new perks I’m excited to try some of these combinations but I’m not surprised Bungie is saying away from perk combos that are too good now that crafting is too accessible and they don’t want more power creep Precision instrument on an aggressive LFR might be too hard to proc since you can’t miss a single precision shot but maybe I’m just bad at compensating for recoil on those frames

That’s a lot of nerfs

Not mentioned in the title or the preview is there’s a time limited event from 10/27-10/31

It’s not required to play the previous games, there is some reference to them and the emotional impact of one scene may be diminished but that’s about it. I’m sure there are video recaps you can watch if you decide to skip the previous titles

Hard to disagree with the article, it seems it’s safer to wait at least a few weeks or months to play a new game because there are often things to be fixed after launch. Many games have multiple ambitious and complex systems that need to be tuned post launch. Combine this with high expectations/hype that marketing teams foster and you have a recipe for regret and disappointment on day 1 experiences

I also heard pyrogale has been re-enabled

Agree with the other comment about stat buckets/groups but one more factor worth mentioning is that some exotics have “intrinsic stat focusing”. With that in mind, certain stat combinations with exotics may not be possible

I don’t have a psvr 2 but I do have a psvr 1 and wear glasses. I was able to find these soft, clear plastic bumpers I could put on my glasses (around the hinges) to prevent my glasses from scratching the VR lenses

Not major but le mon is getting a decrease in poison duration which will allow PvE enemies to regen shields faster and make the intrinsic overload a bit less effective. Also, chill clip nerf which is unfortunate but understandable for riptide (and others like bump in the night)

If EA is willing to cut me a check for telling you that games are getting more expensive and take longer to make then tell me where to sign

It’s mind boggling when the costs of games get leaked (or revealed during court cases). It makes me sad that so many studios have pivoted to the strategy you’ve described because it means we’ll have less games of a franchise I enjoy since the development takes so long or the developement is never even started because people have decided the profit won’t be as high as making a blockbuster game. Hell, look at Rockstar milking whales with GTA V, that’s a slightly different conversation, but it’s crazy how long the gap between GTA V and GTA VI are

I get everyone’s sentiment here, boiling it down to “better games are better” but also keep in mind the development costs and times for making new games are constantly going up. Yeah of course there are fantastic indie games out there (and I love them myself) that have a fraction of AAA game budgets and dev time but those are the gems in the rough, not the norm.

I’m all for better gaming experiences but they do come with tradeoffs. Also, flops are now death sentences for studios so the pressure to perform is even higher

A bit pricier than the other options listed in this thread but I’m really happy with my glasses from warby Parker. I like having an in person store to try on frames and the customer service is pretty great

One of the funniest ones that happened to me was when I ran my cyclops aground in the shallows and I tried to deploy out of my prawn to push it but the hatch was right next to the seafloor so I immediately clipped through the ground while in my prawn and fell through the entire game world. Good times

That’s a good question, wondering the same thing. Can the XM5s be paired with PS4/PS5?

Just want to say I agree with your second point, I also didn’t get the conclusion that he’s dismissing criticism. I understood his message as simply if you’re not enjoying the game then take a break- criticism or feedback is still valid but don’t force yourself to try to engage in a game that doesn’t bring you some form of entertainment
