I bought it quite cheap because it looked like a fun time, and have over the years since played through it 3 times. The gameplay mechanics are a blast.

I never had an Xbox, so really only grew up playing Halo Reach (I think) co-op when I'd go to a friend's house. But I recently played through most of the halo games with a friend and I have to say, I agree. I can't remember any particular moments or scenarios, no part of the story that stands out in my mind, etc. It was fun enough to run through most of them (though we did get tired of it, which is why I said "most of the games"), and I can certainly see why for when they came out, they received the attention they did but can't say I think the reaction would be the same if it came out now or that it really holds up to the standards it seems to have set.

I know people will tell me I'm wrong, but I dropped P3R because of the dungeons. So if 4R is more of the same, I doubt it's something I want to play.

The reference to that in the RE7 DLC was hilarious.

Not that surprising, the UK has been working on better consumer laws. See all the grief Apple has had recently.

If I'm remembering correctly, they had announced single player DLC bit instead just chose to develop more multiplayer stuff since that's where the big bucks are. I'm busy and don't have a source right now, but can attempt to find this later and edit as necessary.

Oh absolutely. I know it wasn't super janky for everyone - but the fact is that it was so broken on launch for not just PC, but PS as well. The mass refunds, which Sony has never done, etc. Denying that this was a thing is what the narrative seems to be for many.

I'm glad it worked for you on launch, and hope you had a great time playing it!

It's why I'll never get it unless obtained for the good ol' price of free. I'm glad people are enjoying it and it's much improved over the trash pile they delivered! But it's still a very different game than advertised.

Frankly, it's concerning how quickly the narrative shifted on this. You'd think with the internet recording the whole fiasco, there wouldn't be a quick narrative shift and misinformation on the subject, but people have convinced themselves the launch wasn't that bad, Sony somehow screwed them and this is what they said the game would be!

So what's the difference for Nintendo fans that love any Mario or Zelda game, for example? I'm not trying to be an ass here, but what makes your specific "I only buy this full price" a better decision than someone else's "I only buy this at full price"?

I'd suggest finding a character or team you're interested in, and then looking up the runs people suggest for those characters. That's the easiest way I think.

“We get democratically elected, and some judge slaps an injunction on bike lanes. Don’t the judges have anything better to do than worry about if we’re taking out bike lanes or not taking out bike lanes?” Ford said.

Don't you have anything better to do than worry about our bike lanes? You've got a whole province to run.

Sometimes I feel like this guy thinks he's the mayor of Toronto, the premier of Ontario and the prime minister all in one, with the power he thinks he has and the things he wants to do.

That's amazing! Great news. Unfortunately it's the much uglier looking PC port - which is to be expected, sadly. But if this gets more people to play Breath of Fire, I won't complain.
