Of course there is, Remy. It’s called court-martial. A life-time achievement, that.

And to think the stupid ones are the switchs…
Well, probably there is an achievement also

Well are they? They got the stuff with less damage than the xboxes, no? They also seem to have a sort of flat hierarchy which is much more progressive than the others.

It’s a backwater posting, they’re all the dregs of their respective sides.

They are either stupid or have some other major flaw like having an issue with authority for example.

“It hurt itself in confusion” — is this a reference to how MS might have shot itself by accident by delaying releases by enforcing series-S compatibility and feature parity? While admirable, it really hurt BG3 in its release hype on console because especially split screen would simply not run nice with the Series-S

When some paper pushing clown comes on the field and starts giving orders you KNOW will get everyone killed…
Yeah sometimes it SHOULD be an achievement.

Remember a game of 40K (on the table) years back.

I love how the Nintendo’s and XBots run out there to get the new supplies the moment it lands, rushing and hurrying to make sure they get it, while the PS5’s just patently wait for everyone else to get what they want before (likely) just calmly and cooly walking out to get their own. The Sony boys are used to waiting quite awhile for anything they want, but knowing it IS coming they don’t really have any reason to rush. Like with Mass Effect 1, it might have taken a decade, but getting ME2 and ME3 they knew it was… Read more »

Bungie was traditionally a Xbox oriented dev with the halo franchise, but stuck non playstation players with a year long wait for maps and content in a content starved destiny (to the point where by the time other platforms got it, it wasn’t actually relevant anymore). This was at a time where it was routine for Playstation users to wait for a month for bonus call of duty maps that others got at launch. Even now, i’m waiting on the PC release of FF7 rebirth, FF14 is going to release on Xbox finally, too. I think its fair to say… Read more »

FF14 is already released on Xbox. Has been for I’d say at least a month so far.

In Remy’s Defence, his commanding officer does look like a rock.

I was expecting the enemy to be shooting up the “box”. You know, we give you stuff, but we also break it beforehand.

Dragging this out a bit aren’t you?

Nine pages in with this arc about how Microsoft is releasing games on the PlayStation… and Sony still doesn’t have have any of Microsoft’s “games” aka their weapons and ammo.

He’s trying to focus more on the soldiers themselves rather than it constantly being about industry events.

So did the Switch steal part of the Xbox rations or the Sony rations? And why’d he wait that long to shoot when there was actually someone else in the smoke? lol

Okay, so the Switches posted here are obviously not the brightest folks in the Nintendo Army… but I’m pretty sure they’re smarter than Remy.
At least collectively.

I feel like Remy should be a Series S.
