Iowans calling themselves "midwest" while voting like southerners. You hate to see it.

Nah, they're just in Davenport.

Vagrant Story was ahead of its time and constrained by the PS1 hardware. If Square Enix had held on for a few years and developed it for the PS2 it would have started its own franchise.

Guild Wars 2's World vs World mode, but with an established IP and without the bolted-on single player content. And increase the team sizes while you're at it. Sell cosmetic DLC to pay the bills if you must.

WvW was a blast until they shelved it for a year to focus on poorly-written single player DLC, and lost half of the community in the process. I tried going back a few years ago but it's a grindfest now.

I made the switch when RiF died. In all honesty I wish it wasn't necessary, because the niche communities here are a shadow of what Reddit had before the blackouts. And while Reddit had trolls just like Lemmy, it was big enough that you didn't have to share general spaces with them.

The original Driver on PS1 made me better at handling cars in general, both in video games and real life. It's a shame GTA and Saints Row went with exaggerated vehicle physics and the Driver series never got the non-vehicular parts right.

It's not worth the price, financially or morally.

There was, I signed up for it and I never received anything. And then the disk drive on my PS3 went to pot and disabled the whole device. Sony can't design hardware for shit.

I made it to the fourth book (or was it the fifth?) many years ago before I gave up. There are better book series that require less effort to understand, and that don't antagonize the reader.

I don't care if it has the same framerate as traditional animation, if your CGI movie is less than 30 fps it looks cheap and gives me a headache.
