The latter part of the game is tedious but in the end I think it was worth it as I was pleasantly surprised by the ending. Did not see that one coming.

No surprise that XCOM 2 is a disaster. The game runs horribly. Loading times are literally 10x+ more than that of it's predecessor, on SSD. They've patched it since, but it is still bad. And last patch was June 30.

Funny how the article mentions Bureau as the point where it all came crashing down. I actually quite liked the game. The problem I think is that there was a market mismatch with that title. XCOM 2012 caught a lot of flak for it being too di

Such outrageous pricing is a US thing. Another data point to ad to sibling comments citing prices in Europe: $4.80 monthly in Russia for 250 minutes, 250 SMS and 1GB.

This took me on a pleasant trip down memory lane. I remember my classmates were impressed by my moves in early 2002 when we played on a field in a remote location of our school field. I had FIFA 2002 to thank for it.

If you post something that wide we're either looking at a sales position or at a company that does not differentiate between a Jr. and a Sr. Developer and lumps them all into Developer. In itself it might be enough of a red flag not to

This is paywalled but the crux of it is that NFL's viewership has been in decline (something in the ballpark of 11-17%) the past year due to their desire to make things political and partisan. The NFL game is increasingly designed to a
