But the question wasn't give a fair assessment of a sequel to a game you like.

I realise that it isn't objectively a bad game or anything like that and a lot of people still play it until this day and I for sure appreciate them keeping the servers up for the old game so I can still go back to play it should I choose. But the question was what sequel to a game I loved ruined it for me and anyone who played both can see they are blatantly not the same game at all.

GW2 was a complete departure from how the first game worked to a more generic MMO style, I'm sure it is a great game in its own right but for me personally, when compared to the amazing first game, it just doesnt hold a candle.

I didn't, I remember falling asleep playing it not long after release which didn't bode well, I wanted to like it but couldn't. I "enjoyed" it for a while many years later as a co-op experience on a console (I forget which one) whilst getting stoned but it was more scratching an itch for that genre and playing with friends locally that really won it over in that instance rather than the game itself.

Likewise with 4, I didn't even give it the time of day tbh, I still haven't really seen much about it.

I'd have liked to play the remaster but I refuse to give those assholes any money and the main draw for me was multiplayer as a kid. I played the SP briefly on a pirate version but it was always about the MP for me.

Two of my favourite games of all time are Diablo 2 and Guild Wars.

Both of these games I was insanely hyped for the following games in the series and got them both on their respective releases days. Both were utterly disappointing crap when compared to their previous games and both probably contributed heavily to how I will now no longer get hyped for any game let alone buy one in their first year or two of release.

You've obviously never met a chain smoker before then. I have met plenty of people in the past working manual labour jobs who would literally light another one up the moment the old one is spent, usually lighting the new one from the old one. So it is entirely believable to me.

Pink bikes are best bikes :D

Not exactly the same as your example but I love getting hard to find stuff and then putting it out there for the public to get.

I'm mainly talking soulseek here but within my preferred music genre there is a lot of elitism and manufactured rareness of tracks what with a lot of vinyl only releases with minimal pressings or digital downloads that are only available for x amount of hours, that kind of bullshit.

This then promotes this culture on soulseek of people locking all their files out to everyone so you need to either trade things or a lot of them will ask you to buy specific releases or send them bandcamp gift cards and the like, to me this goes against the very nature of piracy and really boils my piss.

I love to get access to these people files and getting as much as I can, or ripping vinyl only tracks where I can for myself or buying these "limited" digital tracks when they come up and I have the money (less often these days) and then just sharing them with no locks or trading bullshit.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is it is really satisfying (for me at least) to share this harder to get stuff that people aren't going to find anywhere else and even better a massive fuck you to the elitism and manufactured scarcity within the genre. If you are a soulseek user with locked files reading this, fuck you!

Also torrents are pretty easy to make. I use deluge and qbittorrent and there are options in both of those to create a torrent. You will need a tracker to link to, free ones can be found, then it is just a case of pointing to the files on your computer and it'll create the torrent file for you.

I meant of the ratchet :D

Sound check needed xD nice wheels though.

Durian fruit. That is the most vile thing I have ever tasted and the after taste lasted for like 5 hours.

That shit is fucking evil.

Not forgotten by me, I played through the majority of Final Fantasy 9 on my Xperia Play back when phones were transitioning from interesting to the shit we have today.

Haha thanks although I'm kind of pissed off having finished that hundredth book after posting this.

The character I wanted to return ended up not doing so at the end of the book but not only that they killed off another person who could have possibly joined up with their band of people. It has happened quite a few times now and after so many books it would be nice if they added in another companion but instead the authors seem to be too scared to add any additional characters to to regular roster which is quite frankly frustrating as fuck.

They always kill off potential additions in the most pathetic manner and after so many hours it would be a nice addition to just change things up slightly, I don't want a constant rotation of characters but a breath of fresh air would be nice!

So I have started "The Eyre Affair" which is the first book in a series I think is called Thursday after Next. A few hours in and it is interesting so far!

I watched Beau Is Afraid on acid and it was a fucking wild ride, loved it!
