  • R6S has been a pay-to-win mess after the first few “seasons”. What’s the difference between a subscription service and regular releases of “optional” $30 dlc that gives you new characters, and thus an edge over the competition?

    R6S players will cope by saying characters are balanced and, if you’re good, you can win with just the basic free characters. The fact is, more characters lets you adapt to, and more effectively counter, more maps, play styles, opposing characters, metas, etc…

    Yes, you can unlock the characters for free, but there are dozens of them and each one takes a ridiculous number of hours to unlock, during which you’re playing at a disadvantage. It’s pretty much impossible for anyone other than dedicated school-aged kids to unlock all of the characters for free.

    All of this, and the game still costs money to buy!!! Complete scam.

    The people in the meme are at about Seattle and NYC, which is a little over 3k miles apart (by car). You’d need to be going 250mph for the entire 12 hours to make that distance. A quick google search says that the maximum operating speed of a bullet train is 200mph, but tests have been conducted at 275mph.

    So, you’d need to go non-stop at 125% max speed to make the trip in 12 hours. Even if you went at 275mph, realistically you’d make a lot of stops along the way, which is going to make the average speed a lot lower. Trains are great, but the US is really big.

    Bonus fact: a non-stop flight from Seattle to NYC takes about 5.5 hours.
