@GodsgreatG Scale of time my friend. Check back un 10,000 years

I have a genuine question. Many scientists say humans evolved from apes and other primates. So why don’t we see that kind of evolution happening today? Why does it seem like it stopped?

@otokyo__ Minecraft, apparently

Please be kind, what’s my ethnicity.....

@Tahnit @PaulTassi Welcome to the fold brother

@PaulTassi Yup. first time i just have not given a shit about guardian games. I dont even care about the weapons. Why should I when its just my abilities that kill everything. First time I havent raced to grind a spreadshot handcannon for one two punch. im just...done i think.

Never even downloaded the update, sigh

@cuda_sixpack @SpaceCowboy1317 @PaulTassi How much do think it would cost to develop using 1/3 to 1/2 of bungie studios over 7? Maybe 5, years?

@SpaceCowboy1317 @PaulTassi I mean, we don’t have an official budget confirmation from anywhere - the 250m number was plucked out of thin air from what I recall. Ultimately it’s something that we’ll get a better idea of in time and so I’m not overly worried about until more comes to light

This came out?? Bleak but entirely unsurprising. This has gotta stop man, like 4% of attempts are gonna catch that dragon

@curatorgamingx Same game, still lame

I have 700 hours in Starfield trust me when I say Starfield tomorrow is still the same core game it’s always been. The internet is gonna say it’s vastly better on PS5 which is really just a cover to hide the fact they called it a bad game because it dared to be a Xbox exclusive.

@terminallyOL @parxor To be honest you don't see all those icons on the in game map

@parxor not meant to bash the game or anyone enjoying it, just noticing the mindset of "the map is full of random activities" went from bad to good in a pretty short time frame

it was like, five or six years ago, i wanna say when AC valhalla came out, that a game map like this would have been called "ubislop trash" and "junk to fill up an open world" so i'm just kind of confused as to why this is raising the bar and good now

@B1gDaddyMarv As a playstation main who bought a Xbox for starfield, I would argue that this is incorrect. Starfield is a meh rpg, and probably the weakest Bethesda product. I would wait for a deep sale on this one.

PlayStation fam, the haters lied to you about Starfield. It was review bombed to hell and back and still managed to get into the mid-80s on Metacritic. You’ll soon see for yourself. This epic adventure launches in less than a week. ▪️Starfield was heavily targeted by review bombing campaigns, primarily driven by "console warriors" and disgruntled PlayStation fans. ▪️At launch, multiple social media accounts openly coordinated to create hundreds of fake Metacritic accounts to drive down the user score as "payback" for the game's Xbox exclusivity. ▪️Coordinated Attacks: Users on platforms like X claimed to have created over 1,000 fake accounts specifically to post 0/10 reviews. ▪️Extreme Scores: Analysts noted that a disproportionate number of reviews were either 0/10 or 1/10, a hallmark of review bombing where users try to maximize their impact on the average. ▪️Platform Disparity: In the early hours of launch, the Xbox user score plummeted to around 6.0, while platforms with verified purchase requirements (like Steam) maintained much higher ratings. ▪️This is a classic pattern of review bombing: coordinated or mass low ratings motivated by external factors like console wars, rather than a balanced reflection of the experience.

@PaulTassi Probably should delay destiny content so marathon can shine

Bungie could do the funniest thing

@andand_blr @PaulTassi Sometimes the low scores are from friction by the system. Fix that and boom, much more enjoyable game

@PaulTassi the idea that QoS updates can turn a 6-7 game into a 9 is a little puzzling to me. Like a movie doesn't become more oscar-worthy if it gets a blue ray remaster. A good show doesn't become worse if streaming bitrate drops. So are games art or just software, what are we rating here

@judahbatman @PaulTassi You can also do the focus ability that sucks in ranged attacks(rotate r3), it will drain his smoke and stagger him

@PaulTassi This is why I’ve followed you since Destiny 1. God Bless

lol boy do I have about a dozen bosses you should meet

@A_dmg04 @EthanGr5 Who will be left to talk to?

@EthanGr5 Closer to June is when we’ll chat.

Don’t forget, you can set your desired Armor Set Bonus perk on the Guardian Games class item. Lasts through the event!

@PaulTassi @Forbes No

‘Marathon’ Would Have Made A Great ‘Destiny 3’ via @forbes Before you say it, this is not about erasing the extraction idea, but just wondering how things might have been if Destiny stopped and Marathon fully took up its mantle with an expanded game forbes.com/sites/paultass…

@EndlessGl @KnownAsSys It died from lack of good content

@KnownAsSys These people don’t understand that the game has focused almost entirely on PvE since Beyond Light and the game literally fucking died because of it.

Without PvP, Destiny dies.

@yamabushido @PaulTassi The other game pearl abyss makes is an emotional, so they probably have multi-player scaling down by now.

@PaulTassi Slippery slope though. Next thing, to 'encourage' teams it's then made doable only with teams or areas at least made v difficult solo*. So no thank you to that. (*which has been a classic Bungie strat for example, Outriders DLC another.)

I won’t use it but sure, who cares

@RisingSun1939 @MacticsG1 Elden ring isn't that hard

@MacticsG1 Huh? Elden Ring is one of the most succesful games of all time, came out recently and outsold 99% of games. Tarkov is the second most popular Extraction shooter and it’s brutal. What the actual fuck are you talking about? Are we simping for Marathon again?

When did people start hating challenge in video games? I feel like back in the day challenge was seen as cool and fun and something many looked fondly at even if they themselves couldn’t beat it Now anytime something is hard its seen as unacceptable…

@MacticsG1 @JB_Ratel @Skarrow9 Which is fine, but don't expect everyone to buy it. Hence the player count

@JB_Ratel @Skarrow9 respectfully paying for a game doesnt entitle you to access all of its gear and items just because I pay for a WoW expansion or sub doesnt mean i get to demand mythic raid gear i pay for the opportunity to play and earn the gear. whether or not im successful is up to me.

@MacticsG1 When destiny streamers complained about skill based match making

@GernaderJake How many players will see this level?

I know there are a lot of Marathon haters out here… But Cryo Archive may be the most impressive gaming experience I’ve ever had. I’m completely blown away.

@Daniel_Wylde_ @PaulTassi What percentage of crypto runs will be successful?

@PaulTassi Its so easy to restock though. Especially at higher levels. You can essentially buy most of your stuff back. But.. it will require playing a solid amount to keep it up. & successful Cryo runs will boost your stash & cash way up.

Yeah this is the question. You can design content that is visually, mechanically and thematically interesting but if you're completely wiping out players' vaults rapidly you're looking at potentially fractional participation. When...you already need more players

@EkkaaaR @SoberonCMario @PaulTassi Like they understood that Bluepoint studios made remakes not live service?

@SoberonCMario @PaulTassi I expect them to understand the market for extractions before they invest in an extraction game yes !

It was almost impossible for Cryo Chamber to spike the playercount meaningfully. If you have played enough to meet the requirements, especially 5K loadout a run, chances are you have already been playing a lot to this point. It's not like new people can show up to play
