Can you actually just “play” this game or is it one of those “you can kinda play but there are loot boxes and unless you spend money you won’t have a good time” type of games?

By the players? Hell no. Back in the day you had rosters full of mostly in-state kids that likely grew up cheering for the school and went there because they wanted to represetnt and go to war for their state and their school. Now it's just 1-year hired mercenaries going to the highest bidder so there isn't nearly the loyalty and sense of pride there used to be.
It is a big factor, IMO.
He isn’t wrong, but it is multifaceted.
For starters, the atmosphere around CFB is significantly different than it used to be. The rivalries, school pride, regional competition, is all largely gone or severely diminished.
On top of that, it is corporatized now more than it has ever been. It is all sterilized and bland.
On top of all of that, the costs are astronomically higher. $40-50 million dollars to field a team, increasing ticket prices, and extracting as much money from the fans as possible.
:dunno:
Not really surprised.
Schools are spending $50+ million dollars to field a football team.
They better fricking win or people should lose their jobs.

I think it makes sense that you would have female combatants in the world of Gears of War.
They looked like women and didn’t act like men.

quote:I will say, I am getting really tired of the “everyone you interact with hates your character” trope going through games right now.
Didn’t know one of the lead devs was a troon but aside from the lesbian chick (Mags) being avidly anti corporate and anti COG and being just a stick in the mud, I can’t point to anything that might be considered “the message”. Most civvies hate the COG and gears due to bad optics and the world going to shite so it’s not like she’s saying anything that hasn’t been said by the stranded in previous games.
They did the same thing with Halo.
Keep that in the extended lore.
I only played the first three GoW and they didn’t really bring that up.
Your focus was on your teammates and the mission.
I bet they expounded on that in the other games.
You can make a dark, gritty game that will hit you in the feels while also keeping the story contained to you and your character’s actions.

Is that what drove you to become an actual doctor?

Trying to collect physical carts is a fools errand.
Just a hobby.
Maybe my kids or, hell, my grandkids will like playing them one day if I can keep them in working order.
Got some good memories of playing my grandpa in Dr. Mario on his NES and him resoundingly beating my arse.

Nice!
I’m not looking for a PSA 10. I just think would be a cool shelf piece for my office.
Appreciate the link.

Why would you pick Chattanooga over playing Texas?

Replaying Expedition 33 at the moment. About to finish Act 2.
Also found and bought a complete box set of the original NES Metroid at my nearby game store.
Will be booting it up and trying for the under 1 hour run.

The evidence is mounting that women are simply too forgiving and empathetic to serve in the role of judge. Society cannot function well if every murder, theft, rape, etc is subjected to tests of whether the perpetrator had a good enough excuse for becoming the type of person who would do that.
