You cannot claim to be restructuring city government while silencing the voices of the people. As I began to speak to the charter commission tonight on its stalled police accountability reforms, they cut the mic.
Watch the moment the Commission chose bureaucracy over the community. (1/3)

It's like I tell people "you may not get everything you want but getting 2% of what you want is better than 0%, or losing %"
What most don't seem to get is that it's just 2% now but in time you'll be able to work your way up to 20% and possibly eventually 100%

Don't get it on PC though, unless there's a mod that removes GFWL.
Also the pc version has added mouse delay because of cross play, one of the first games to do it, and console users kept losing to pc players. So the patch before the final one added in mouse delay

Geoff has become the glue of highguard and it's annoying. If you say anything bad you are just lumped in with the people blaming him. If you say you like the game you're accused of deep throating Geoff.
The only thing he did was give a game an ad spot.

Yeah my friends and I play Exoprimal almost exclusively in private lobbies now because matchmaking took too long for bots. It turned into a friendslop for us but we're enjoying it much more. Sure we miss the odd pvp against others but we get to play now

Fighting games don't really struggle, its just that the industry has decided that normal multiplayer games can't exist, they all have to be infinite money generators, and fighting games are just a bad fit
