What is their approach, even? I didn't realize there was even an approach beyond "put more shitty game modes in and don't let people choose which ones they want".

Also, I love that the only game mode you get to choose... Is the new shitty one.

Thanks, Rockstar. That's what I wanted. Being able to pick between "shitty free for all" and "shitty team".

Not, oh, I dunno, fucking being able to pick the GOOD GAME MODES.

I'll say this: Team Deathmatch and Hostile Territory are great. They're fantastic, by comparison. The balancing on them is usually terrible because the game keeps trying to fill the 7 teams with one or two people but they're FINE.

Most Wanted should be changed to "Most Lucky", Pick Your Weapon should be renamed to "Pick The Shotgun", and FFA Deathmatch should be renamed to "Whoever Spawns Behind The Most People Wins".

And of course, the "Battle Royale" modes because people are obsessed with battle royales to the point that they'll call a shitty game mode in a Rockstar game where you fucking have a shitty bow and arrow or THROWING KNIVES, the WORST weapon in the whole game, counts as a battle royale. Make It Count should be changed to "Make It Count Or Else You Get To Sit There Watching Two Retards Rub Up Against Each Other For 30 Minutes".

It's gotten to the point where the only fun I have is hunting animals and hunting the assholes who try to shoot at me while I'm hunting animals.

Meanwhile, I've found a new form of entertainment: disastrous Twitch streams :lol2:

Lots of World of Warcraft guild drama. I love it. I love hearing all the stupid shit people get into fights over.

Nah fam, his only source (a Reddit post) even flags this as false info.

The top comment's thread is particularly interesting. Don't believe all the outrage.

Meanwhile I'm avoiding all of Ubisoft's most recent behavior by just playing their older games.

Been enjoying Prince of Persia Sand of Time, might get the rest of the series if I can find them at a decent price.

I actually completed a game in rimworld for the first time.

4 colonists died over the course of the game and another 2 deserted us. Got 16 people off the planet in a ship at the end. The raids and sieges were that bad, though the fuckers running around with doomsday rockets didnt help. I was playing with Cassandra Classic though so i guess its only too natural it was not too mental. Fought off like 4 Infestations in my base which were the biggest moments of panic as they are what killed off my last game when i played last year and had some really close calls but im happy with how i did.

Started a new game with Randy Random so i dread whats going to fucking happen with this story teller as ive heard some mental stories.

Well, I got a coupon for Frostpunk which is cool. Don’t know if my computer can run it, but hey, we’ll see. I take any chance I can get to buy a game at not full price.

I got it as well. Even if I had any money, I wouldn't buy it. Cause that's from the people who made This War Of Mine. And that game can eat me.

Wasn't there this time where R6 Siege's official Twitter tweeted out a Bowsette Thermite?
If I remember correctly, that effectively means Ubisoft's social media team was tricked into tweeting porn.
