  • I’ve played through on the highest difficulty, and eh, yeah it starts difficult but it does even out after a few hours of playing. I died a lot early game, but I’ve also played on normal. For those who complain about bullet spongyness, you don’t have to play on high difficulties, just turn it down and enjoy the story.

    I just don’t understand how you can say an entire game sucks on such a small detail in my book, and if someone is that particular about it, why not just install a mod? Idk I think you’re right, a headshot is a headshot in that game, unless you’re dealing with some really chromed out people, then it gets nuts


  • Money laundering is incredibly complex now, but it’s still pretty dang hard to hide, especially if you’re a credit card company with just a metric shitload of data with a ton of available compute to find it.

    I think the important bit isn’t necessarily that they were hosting content, but funneling money - which is an important distinction. The content may not have been hosted there, but the money was still being funneled through there to pay for illegal content.

    An analogy, occasionally you see something make the rounds from facebook marketplace. “Half eaten mcdonalds sandwich. $600”. Everyone laughs and says how stupid is that - but is it? Or is it a completely legal transaction if someone buys it. It’s just that what you don’t know is that on another platform they were asking to buy drugs, and said “To transfer the money go buy the half eaten sandwhich on FB”.

    If FB knows that’s happening and doesn’t stop it, that’s on them because they’re allowing money laundering to happen.

    OF in this case probably didn’t even host any content - but they probably knew that money was being funneled for other activities and it’s on them to stop it. Take it as a lesson folks, if you let money flow through your site (even a completely above board site) between two parties - you’re at risk of something like this.



  • It’s deserved. The only reason it got negative at the beginning was because of the rushed release. They’ve spent years repairing trust with the community and making it great. I’ve played through oh, five times now because it’s just such a great story.

    The only negative things I hear anymore are things like “it’s too bullet spongy”, which to me is just so nitpicky. If you can’t look at the amazing world they built, the detail, the depth of the characters, the depth of the story, and all you can see is that - well I don’t think you’re going to be happy with many games at all because I don’t think anything can live up to your standards
