It's good, kind of clunky but the graphics are wonderful. It's a bit easy and the story takes a long time to get going, but for a walking sim with arbitrary stealth it's not as bad as you'd think.

I loved the vibe, music, and story. It felt like the darkest of the three games to me by a wide swing. The combat and how slow you moved sucked. I'd recommend playing on easy for the story.

what?! Nobody likes rogue one that movie sucks.

I enjoyed it. It was slow and kind of boring and underwritten in the character/dialog department but I loved how it looked, the vibe was on point, and the ending scene (you know the one) was the best scene I've watched in theaters for modern star wars.

So is the expanded content pay to play? Are there multiple different versions of this game with various expansion packs?

Not looking to invest a ton of money to see if I'd like this game or not. $20 would be pretty ideal for me. Maybe as high as $30.

As far as I'm aware the game got rid of everything pay to play with the exception of a new bundle that gives you all the skins, or the option to pay like $20 and get enough e-currency to get all the skins. Not a single map or mode is locked behind pay anymore. It says I have 23 hours in the game (over years) and I have like 2 million e-bucks and bought all the skins I want. idk if that's the case now with a new user curve.

It's been a lot of arcade fun for the last year. I kind of hate the insane focus on the clone wars (the game has all three era's, but 99% of new content, playlists, maps and modes are around the CW) but the other content is still there, just buried. Progression system works in two ways; you level up each class independent of each other and get access to new cards which can be skills, power-ups or alternatives to one ability slot. As you level up the class, you can also level up the cards in tiers, which cost a bit of in-game currency. That same currency is used to unlock skins of which there is still a very low quantity, with the exception of clones and heroes.

Game looks beautiful, arguably better than BF1 or BF5. Runs extremely well on my old hardware, and is a blast to play. They just added the classic BF2 conquest bot mode but the bots are... really stupid. There is also co-op botstomping which is 4vbots, but hilariously easy. funfact: You can use the new co-op mode to rank up your classes absurdly quick to the point of almost making the levelup system now obsolete.

Feels like everything is faster paced, higher stakes and more difficult to progress. Lickers and Mr X within an hour with you only having the .45. It definitely begs you to run, not kill, most of the early zombies you see so I've been using the window boards more strategically and only shooting the legs off zombies in high traffic corridors to and from save points/boxes. I have about 60 bullets right now and am about to wrap up the first big puzzle, but considering I beat the game on Claire A, I have no idea where Leon's gear or weapons are.

Did it boys, beat the game with A ranking. I guess I died too many times.It says I beat it in five hours too. Damn this game is short.

*The lickers were the hardest part of the labs. I cut the legs off all the zombies with my few SMG rounds I found in the box, and killed the lickers with headshots on my remaining spark rifle. Hardest part of the outro for me.

*Memorized Birkin's attack pattern and where all the loot in the arena was. Brought R+B herbs to absorb more damage and took him out with the revolver rounds in the arena and ten acid rounds I had in my box.

*Escaping was no big deal, three plant guys. The arena and area after gave me 80 pistol bullets so that was that.

*Last birkin fight came by a surprise, but the minigun made short work of him.

I ended the game with 0 ammo and 0 healing supplies, truly down to the wire.

I just got clipped by the two lickers. I got the frequency modulartor, but I need to go back down and fight 3 zombies and two lickers with 18 pistol bullets and 3 shock rifle rounds remaining.

This is going to suck. I have red health and no healing items.

Claire A, Hard mode. I have 26 pistol bullets, one grenade, no healing items, six shots of that yellow shock rifle thing, am currently in the labs trying to get the test tube filled with the plant chemical. I keep getting instantly chomped and grabbed and I know that I can do much better than this if I restarted with a new understanding of how to pace ammo and what areas to clear and to not.

Can you elaborate on that? I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about.

Going to bed.

"Tomorrow is a new day, I'm going to get up early and exercise and get shit done."

Wake up feeling clear headed, or mentally ready for it. Immediately cave in to preset patterns. Eat like crap, or play a game, or smoke, or whatever vice it is. Patterns of self destruction. Now, this only applies to very depressed or anxious people, not everybody. Most people have the wherewithall to just get up and do what they said they would and not have a second thought. But for very damaged people, myself included in my past, I find that charting out goals or telling people about them is cathartic in and of itself.

I've found that telling people or even myself that I will releases the same dopamine effect as doing it, just without the hard work. You can quickly hypnotize yourself into complacency.

I used to hire for Bux in 2014-17.

It's not like you need to know somebody but you need to take it as seriously as corporate does. From the interview style, to pointed questions, to paperwork (we fill out) to gauge your performance and so on and so forth. The reason why is it's a very taxing job physically and mentally with lots of multi-tasking, recipes, extra work and long hours on your feet while having to be robotically consistent to corporate branding like name usage, smiling, eye contact, all stuff of which they are zeroing in on your interview about too.

If you can't handle an interview like a "professional", why would they think you can handle the drive thru window which requires you to have constant communication with 1-4 people at a time.

Edit: I don't agree with all this and found the job to be insane near the end but yeah. My two cents.

Lol yeah. That $5 price was them offloading the rest they had in stock. Apparently they didn't even have enough to complete some people's orders and they had to refund them

I wonder why a company like Valve would do so much research and fuck up the buttons face placement, D-pad, second analog stick and even just how everything feels. It is like a bad MadCatz ripoff to me. It's truly one of the worst gamepads I own and that's saying something. :/

Can anyone answer an honest question about this guy?

Does he have a mental issue, or multiple? The facial quirks, eyebrow movements, social deflection, lack of eye contact, dishonest deflection and so on really turn me off from investing in him or his wife's opinions. It feels like something is wrong, and there is a secret, 24/7. I don't mean to judge. It's just what I've noticed.

It doesn't do anything that my $25 GameStop ripoff 360 controller does already. I get that I'm playing at my PC and not on my couch but the button placement is bad, the tactile feel is cheap and clunky, the buttons clank and mash like crazy and the lack of a d-pad makes fighter games virtually unplayable. I bought it for $5 and it looks cool so it'll live on my shelf as a novelty that I appreciate, but I can't say that I'm ever going to use it again. I tried Sekiro, Dark Souls 3, Mortal Kombat 10 and Dirt 2 and it's just been an awful ride the whole way down.

here's a tip: get a real job then. I wait til the delivery is completed before tipping... because what if you do a shitty job? lol the nerve

You're applying conventional delivery tipping mechanics to a new age of delivery services. This isn't Pappy's Pizza you call, they bring you food, and you tip at the door. The app has tips included in the order screen because that is what their model is and what is expected; likewise, cash is extremely rare and UberEats/Grubhub/Postmates/etc like to use card to properly track the pay of their employees.

You're fully allowed to go against the grain, but when they nut in your fries, only you are to blame.

Goes 2-2 or 1-3 and retires back to movies. Gets in a lot of trouble with bigger grapplers and wrestlers.

Thanks for everyone who reached out, too many to reply individually unless I make a wall of text so just some details.

Yeah, no kids. One of our fundamental plans was to be committed to each other, but not to be tied down by kids. From a moral standpoint and realistic perspective on finances and life paths, kids didn't settle into it. However, marriage was looming, and I think it was initially something she liked but became fear.

Some quick facts;

Right now, I'm 28 and she's 36. We met eight years ago, started dating seven.

Poly was never brought up once until it fell apart. It felt like a tactic to justify falling out of love for her.

You get to know someone on an insane level after living together for most of your 20's in my case. I knew something was wrong a month or two before she broke up with me, to mentally prepare.

Yes, I will be going to the gym! It's how I got over my last two relationships lol.

I do not plan on reaching out to her again or allowing contact to come from her after the moveout process is complete. It would never be healthy again, as I do not know this version of her. The one I knew stopped existing. The new woman she is couldn't even be my friend, because my friends would never do that to me or anyone else.

To the trolls, whatever. To people saying get back in the saddle -- nah. I dropped most of my adult life to this woman. I am going to live the next most of my adult life as a single guy, and focus on my health, job, life, career and path.

I don't know anywhere else, man. I'm over the hill. The internet and forums I used to know are long gone and in a moment of crushing defeat, I turn for succor to places that used to provide. I'm broken up and sad and feel worthless, but I hope that my words here will reach somebody who will give a shit. All I can ask for.
