I was pointing out the idiocy of your petty assumption by stating I was at Battahl. Pretty sure its impossible to get there in only two hours.

Sure if 20 hours in isn't far. I was at Battahl when I returned the game
Didn't know you can get Battahl in 2 hours. You may be a speedrunner, but don't assume others are too.
This is really disappointing. The game does give off GOTY vibes until you realize big issues like only having one save file you can fully control, intentially vague dialogue for key quest details, and bad AI. All of which just happens to encourage mistakes that can only be fixed using items which are very limited without microtransactions. Its like an MBA took over in the final phase of development and made it a sleazy moneygrab. The fact that it is a hit means we can expect more developers to adopt this tactic and take it further. Capcom has become EA.
Thankfully I was able to get a refund on Dragons Dogma and used that money to buy Rise of the Ronin. Was not disappointed. They are very similar games but Rise of the Ronin has all the QoL features gamers have come to expect like unlimitted fast travel and saves.
Yeah it could probably use a cunt at the end for maximum efficacy
My update told me as much. OP's likely did too. But it is usually a lot harder to manufacture outrage when you have a full picture and manufacturing outrage is the best way to get exposure on social media.
Most tree planters would agree. The industry has a high rate turnover so half the people who do it don't stick around long enough to really wrap their minds around how bad it is. I spent over a decade in the industry and planted a little over 1.3 million in that time, but I don't tell people about it IRL because I got sick and tired of cringing with my entire being every time someone thanked me for it.
The saddest part is that in my experience, companies doing carbon credits or naturalization projects do a far worse job than the logging companies. We had a recurring contract with the carbon farmer where we went to the same fields year after year and planted trees that immediately died due to poor stock selection and ground preparation. They don't have the regulation and oversight that the logging companies do. They also profit from convincing people to pay them to plant so it is in their best interests those trees die so they can maximize their profits with less land use.
I'm amazed people are using it. Having an AI call me by name and failing at playing any music I enjoy was equal parts creepy and pathetic.
Low understanding is an understatement. I have heard too many neighbours refer to it as a trucker strike and state they actually came close to deposing Trudeau because that's what facebook told them. I hope I've convinced a few of them to start getting their news from actual journalists, but I'm not very confident.
I appreciate the reasoned response. Maybe by the end of the game the pay items don't feel limited, but they did in the first 20 hours I played before returning it.
If I was disappointed solely at the sales compared to my dislike then you're right to think its nonsense. What I'm disappointed in is a business I have loyally and regularly purchased from for over 30 years compromising their product and making it worse to try and fleece more money. I also worry deeply that the game selling well despite the flak means every major developer will find their own way to follow suit and refine the tactic until it becomes the norm.
