p.s. it’s been said a hundred times but apparently always needs to be said again: you’re free to think ARR is bad (If You Actually Played It) but omg don’t go around presenting it like it’s the be-all, end-all, undisputed, unbiased, objective truth.
I’m forever glad I played when it came out and didn’t have to deal with that shit because I can’t imagine what it’s like to be told over and over ‘the game starts bad but just keep going’.
If people hadn’t absolutely loved ARR we wouldn’t be here now.
ARR is far from bad. ARR is doing a number of amazing things which I think fly under the radar for most people.
