Swapping for broken ships is the best way to upgrade in my opinion. It's a lot cheaper to fix one up than it is to buy new. If you do find a ship that has less slots, you can still part it out (accept it as your ship, part it out, then go back to your old ship and accept it as your ship). You can end up getting some pretty good items from that.
I thought I had finding ships figured out. I found two by selecting "locate transmission" (instead of Monolith, station, or shelter) from a beacon. But my last 3 transmissions were from Observatories (my favorite). I'm now simply landing and setting off going from question mark (point of interest) to question mark and not returning to my ship until I can call it from an outpost that has a recall tower.
I'm on xb1.
Yeah, I pretty much agree with most of the negatives listed out there. It's not really a sequel to Titanfall as it is a reinvention. And not in a good way. I have no intention of buying TF2. And I'm a guy who could have learned a language in the amount of time I put into the first one.
I'm guessing that "play that seriously" is in regards to the price? Or the effort to "maintain" them? Maybe both since that's why I've stayed away from them.
Well it's price, maintenance, and playability.I'm guessing that "play that seriously" is in regards to the price? Or the effort to "maintain" them? Maybe both since that's why I've stayed away from them.
The price point is starting to get a lot closer now though. Between cheaper games, longer game life through mods and now it seems like they are going to be releasing new consoles quicker. *I also only have basic cable because I never watch TV so I'm okay with setting up a PC on my big TV. Then cutting out cable completely.*
As for the maintenance and upgrades aspect, it seems like you can buy pretty good pre-made systems now that are well beyond consoles. Most of the major console games come to PC as well, so I'm guessing that as long as you aren't looking "ultra-mega 10k" graphics we should be fine without upgrades for awhile.
As far as shooters go, despite my enjoyment of them I'm not good/quick enough to win far fights anyways. Half the time I don't even see the person in the distance shooting at me. I have to win gunfights because of knowing maps and taking routes and that kind of thing. So I'm not to worried about that switch.
This feels like a bad relationship where PlayStation got a new high paying job so they think they can treat people like garbage now.
Interesting point. Never thought about that. I will have to look into some options for this problem as well.
Mostly valid criticisms. I especially agree with the disappointment of different ships not handling differently and not specializing by type (ie fighter, science, freighters, etc). Some of the things he didn't like I wasn't even expecting so I'm not on the same page there. I felt like I had watched a lot of demos and read a lot of articles and yet there were many clips in there I hadn't seen. I stopped at the spoiler warning - I'm only 65 hours in an nowhere near the center.
Ships come from the Transmission towers specifically (ruins come from observatories). Discover a transmission tower, solve the puzzle, get a crashed ship distress signal.
I know but if I'm playing a shooter, mouse/keyboard is going to thrash a controller every single time. I'd be fine with mouse/keyboard if I played at a desk, but I don't, and I'm not going to play at a disadvantage because I like to play from my couch.
I have been trying t figure out who IndyMark was on FBGs forever now from my xbox friends list....did you have a different name before?
Hahahaha. Almost did in 2008. Down to Houston. For work not video games though.
Makes sense considering your CAD is only worth $.77 in USD.Hahahaha. Almost did in 2008. Down to Houston. For work not video games though.
Your consoles are between $50 and $100 dollars cheaper than up here. And games at $80 up here compared to $60(?) down there?
Yep. But you know that didn't adjust it when it was on par.
How old is the son going to be? Amazon bundles run about tree fiddy. (seriously that's the cost)
See my edit. That's the Neo. Announcement of that will come on Sept 7th, supposedly.
Not as bad as the UK. I lived there for a year and used a VPN to use the USA store to use the dollar over the pound. Between that and game sharing my girlfriend and I saved $500.Hahahaha. Almost did in 2008. Down to Houston. For work not video games though.

Nope. Always been IndyMark007 on XBL and now Steam. Played COD almost exclusively back in the day, so probably from that. Still have fond memories of playing with GOAT and a bunch of others way better than me. I couldn't get into Advanced Warfare and pretty much gave up on COD after that. Now I'm playing Destiny and Rocket League most of the time.
I don't want to talk to, jump around in front of or on, or wear my gaming systems or controls. I want to sit and control them with a handheld device. Please stop spending millions on gimmicks and spend it on game development instead.
I can see the appeal of VR, but I find it really hard to imagine people shutting themselves off from the outside world to that degree for run-of-the-mill gaming.
I think I have some of my various towers confused, but I think I recall the distinction of a "distress signal" and other transmissions. Sometimes I'm at those things with an orange beam going up and you can pick from one of four options - I know what "shelter" means and pretend that I didn't learn that and mix it up. There are "transmission towers" that find various things - you don't choose - it just tells you what it finds. And there are observatories, and they find a variety of locations as well.

Boys, you're killing me here. I've googled "weird Canadian electricity" and now "Fn electricity"
Gears 4 is coming. Manakin, Pablo and I have been grinding through a Gears 3 Insane campaign run (on twitch and YouTube for those interested). We hope to have it all done by the time Gears 4 rolls out time permitting.
Yeah you guys have that 220 volt and need all the special 3 prong adapters and ####.
