How Many Others Besides Me?

[Opus]

Did alpha/beta and was here at launch. I've been playing, uh, sorta regularly over the past year, although I did take a 4 month break to do BL1 & BL2 and check out some other games.

The bullet sponges suck. I've yet to see a WM go down and I've probably been to about 20 of them. And while I was happy to see them make weapon stats go up with ego, I was really not happy about the 14 legendaries I had in my backpack that are more or less worthless now. (Yes, even with the free arkforge we got.)

On the flip side, I log on because it's still somewhat fun and easy. I love just driving around, camping out at Iron Demon for the instances, ark falls and the like. It's a nice time killer when you don't want to be completely alone.

For the Alpha testers: Maybe now they can release the plasma pulser again. I'd kill to have that back in the game. Charge $20 in the store and I'd totally buy it.

I believe they've said they need the number of owners of these next gen consoles to reach a high enough point to justify the development time to move the game to those consoles. I have no idea idea of those numbers, but it seems to make sense from a business perspective. Obviously from a gamer perspective we expect things to just be copy-pasted from one console to another, it obviously isn't that simple.

Thanks Etaew. I'll let my brother know.

Alpha/Beta Preorder Day 1 here. Took a break some time ago but came back. Lots of regulars left as expected. Still got SlicTrix around so I know it's all good.

Especially when talking about the change from PS3 to PS4 with the almost complete redesign of the OS for the new console. (OrbisOS is a kernal of FreeBSD. This is why there is no backward compatibility on the system as of right now. They have to build an emulator.) Honestly, if Sony and Microsoft will create something in their OS to play the older system's downloaded games, Trion wouldn't need to create a port. (It'd be nice to get upgraded graphics, but the extra hardware to reduce the problems related to said issue (some of the dcs, General Steve, some of the lag..)).

Sorry but off hand I can't remember the name of the game or the company, will try to find in the morning but before ps4 was released a company had said that the similarity between PC and ps4 architecture meant they were able to get a playable pc port done in less than 6 weeks.

This isn't the article I originally referred to as there is no specific example but it does mention aaa titles taking 2 months to port.

Now I'm off to bed.

Guess ill jump the bandwagon here. Day one/beta player took hiatus after dlc1 then came back after dlc3. Game is fun, servers are poop. social aspect is the best part though. Cheers to the veterans may we die out quietly.
