Both. Look at what the Tennessee Volunteers football fans did against the program's head coach search this past weekend. The social media outrage paired with campus protests brought an unprecedented outcome of an athletic director rescinding a job offer!

Let's not also forget about what happened with Battlefront recently too!

EA's stock lost 3 billion dollars. That is insane. If that were the response to loot boxes everywhere, then the games industry would be far better off.

For better or worse, we're seeing 'social media outrage' play a big role in enacting change.

It's the new torches and pitch forks but on the interwebs. Mob mentality doesn't have to be in person for it to work. In fact, I would argue that it's even easier on the internet.

Glad to see Bungie’s still thinking about us. And with a solid quote too.

Anyway...Yes.

• Swordplay has no right to be as enjoyable as it is.
  
• This is a game where I really can explore every area to my hearts content, but it's so large that I'm always finding something new, 72 hours of elapsed play time later.
  
• It's freaking pretty. More games should add weather. It's just really adds to the ambiance of a space.
  
• Sexy time on a unicorn.
  
• The Side quests are as Enjoyable as the Main quests.

If Destiny 2 could have these aspects, or like-aspects. That would be cool.

You softball it in so easily I don’t even have to try.

XD

Lots of people really seem to dislike the combat in The Witcher 3. Like you, I found it to be quite enjoyable. It's not necessarily super engaging all the time, but it was rather fun, and engaging enough on Blood and Broken Bones difficulty.

The world of The Witcher 3 really is special. It's gorgeous and detailed and real in a way that very few games are. I highly recommend turning most of the HUD off, especially the mini map. It helped make exploring that world a real joy for me. On my later playthroughs, I actually got into the habit of walking everywhere (oftentimes literally walking, not running). The world is just that engrossing for me.

Also recommend the 2016 Prey Reboot. It's good stuff.

I really enjoyed that demo they put out for it, but was just too busy with other games to buy it. I'd like to get around to it at some point, for sure.

. . . I've been mostly playing Witcher 3 (STILL!). . .

I'll take that bait! Are you enjoying it?

Man, I love that game. I've been really thinking about jumping back in again pretty soon, but Assassin's Creed Origins distracted me (and is sort of similarly designed and almost as fun to just explore), and, sort of embarrassingly, I bought Skyrim (of all things!) on my Switch and am really enjoying lounging around on the couch with it. Companies could literally just churn out great ports of last gen games, and I'd probably buy and replay a whole bunch of them. Playing things on it is really great.

I have a NG+ save of The Witcher 3 that's just finished the main story and a few quests in to Hearts of Stone. I've only played each of the expansions through once, compared to my four times through the main game, so I really am anticipating going back through those again. It'll probably be after the new year at this point, though.

So, after a year hiatus, I decided to jump back into The Witcher 3 (as I have no urge to play Destiny 2 at all). Usually with big games like this, there is a point where you jump back in and go; Where am I? The really big Bethesda Games tend to have this. Fortunately CD PROJEKT RED took the time and put that loading screen that tells where in the story I am at, so I was able to jump back in rather effortlessly, which was nice.

Oh... and... Good Luck.

Sorry, I’m in a particularly sarcastic mood today :)

I am actually not sure if I should be impressed or horrified that an angry group of reditors got one of the biggest game companies in the world to cancel a reveal stream.

I'm going to guess it was that Asian guy… what was his name again?

Does this mean all my honest criticism has been good for the community? :-p

By the way, if Bungie is looking for good PR, I'm willing to do it in exchange for a few interviews for my book :-p

Good luck tomorrow.

Emphasis mine.

;p
