And MGS OG too

#

I really liked Remake though

#

Started Rebirth but then some stuff came up

Holy crap I feel old now

#

I snagged an unofficial guide to FF6 from some guy in the midwest when I was a kid. He had gone through and written the japanese names to everything in the items index/beastiary.

Konami has teased that MGS4 might be getting a PC port... probably

I may grab those games when they go on sale next.

And the controls were so responsive?!

During COVID

#

Even worked on the mobile version

#

Had to reduce texture size though

#

Sluggish with 4K

#

But it was cool

#

Would be kinda poop if they didn't after releasing the master collection

#

And Delta should be out this year

#

You reminded me that I need to buy the Resident Evil OG trilogy from GOG at some point

#

Another series I grew up with

Now to find the time!

#

Ugh. I may just sit down and play FF1-....12ish. The first couple are just a slog of running back and forth, but the grinding of the early FF games, up through 7 with the materia just hit the big red dopamine button for me.

Hey old man/men/people...you own FFT og cd?

Anyone know a New World Server that isn't full of transphobes and polititrolls?

#

These people are making me hate playing the game. I like global chat and ignoring people isn't how I believe a company should get rid of a problem

shadow tartan
#

Maybe the new world isn't for you after all

#

New world problems require new world solutions

dry copper
#

My new world solution is to have people who spread that shit removed from the community.

shadow tartan
#

Burn it to the ground?

#

But if the community is the new world, then you need the Newer World

dry copper
#

If the new world is transphobia and politics, then it needs to be burned down.

shadow tartan
#

Maybe that's the current and new world

That's just a house built on a foundation of shit

You had cereal in boxes?

Maybe that's why people have less imagination these days but think they have a lot of it

We had giant bags of "cereal"

Alpen (muesli) always came in a bag

That was my favourite

Is there muesli in New World?

Gotta get your 5lb bag of puffed wheat

Actually that's like a half lb. The bags of puffed wheat when I was little were bigger than I was.

Hi, is there any shooter mmorpg which has a pvp game mode where 2 or more teams fight and each team has atleast 10-20 or more players and which is playable 24/7 any much & whenever we want or at least 4-5 hours a day? whats the max team size considering all pvp modes? doing pvp we get rewards which we can use to unlock/upgrade units or skills or weapons or litle bit of stats etc and these stat progression is persistent which we get to carry for next pvp battles? Also during a pvp match our gears/powers/stats/skills should not be equalized and higher stat geared players should do more damage or atleast little bit advantage than lower stat geared players.

idk what happened. but got bugged with infinite grenade energy. SO MANY stasis turrets. i had like 10-13 out at once xD

just its not optimized

#

Mars: enclave.

A spot this pretty i never knew existed

balmy plaza
#

I'm thinking of waiting till act 2 to see about getting it

inland oasis
#

i mean, to me, it feels like more of the same shit. i dont do dungeons or raids so idk how good vespers host is but i hear people like it.

#

the potions thing is just another thing to grind thru as per usual. it has some cool stuff but tbh, i keep forgetting about it

#

like now we collect ingredients from a new onslaught activity, which is alright. and also from other activities. each one tells you how you get it. and then those are used to craft the potions.

balmy plaza
#

Ah that's a shame

#

The dungeon is great but I've not even played the free intro mission for the episode lol

inland oasis
#

the whole story of it lasted like 15 mins

#

i shit you not

#

like one fight, and cutscenes, a tutorial of making potions, them walking u thru it saying go here pickup this come back, make this.

#

n then its just done, time to wait for act 2 for more story. and start your grind with potion bounties etc

#

all i know about the story that matters, is fikrul said "your not my dad" to Crow xD and im HIGHLY simplifying it

orchid fox
inland oasis
#

eh, i cant support the way it being managed. however, the game itself is what i find fun. i like the core gameplay, its just every iterations of something "NEW" is just a reskin or mediocre. and it has been for a long time per its track record. ill always play/love destiny as the game. but bungie....they became shit. absolute greedy shit

#

this seasons writing is just dreadful though imo

orchid fox
inland oasis
#

like crow and you confront fikrul, they argue, and crow just dips out and transmats away leaving you to do all the fighting of fikruls underlings.

To me thats just bungies pure laziness to not add a small AI to crow and have him just do something but no...your own your own gaurdian xD

orchid fox
#

Like i didnt nuke 3k despite the stupid choices if it wasnt fun but in current state i honestly go pass

Sorry ifvi cone out as hating for thecsajevof hate

inland oasis
#

i dont see how you can say package alone when a "package" is derived of all the things youve mentioned

#

i simpled it down to only the gameplay is what i like. anything gaming industry related regarding destiny i dont like.

#

or care about xD i just play it

orchid fox
inland oasis
#

yes, so gameplay, of the product itself and its performance/quality. thats a package id agree

orchid fox
#

My package is gameplay i do t consider those main 3 unless the actual actions is ateicious to the piöointbof me needing to call that shit out in posts

orchid fox
#

That or either 3 is just atrocious to start with

inland oasis

who the fuck timegates storymode gameplay in there game i mean cmon?

it also has alot of wasted potential

This is what I got when I tenor searched "piöointbof"

"Don’t worry–we didn’t forget about the booster, either. Have you ever wanted just a little bit more stamina on the battlefield? Have you ever thought, while being chased by a Terminid horde, I’d die to have just a bit more gas to go the distance. If that sounds like you, Helldiver, then I have some good news: the new Dead Sprint booster may drain your health once your stamina is at zero, but it will enable you to keep outrunning the enemy."

i love it. its starfields Stamina drain mechanic xD

it starts hurting you to keep running past stamina limit, just wont kill you. but bet in HD it will

What about NS meaning „national-socialist“? (Referring to 4:55 in the Video)

9:14 is a lie. They weren’t „not able“, they were not allowed/asked to form a coalition with other parties since they are „right-wing“ (I hate this term). So the „green“ president asked/chose the current chancellor to form a coalition.

#

He's conflating CSR with DEI

#

On purpose...

#

....and I see no clear demonstration so far of any correlation

#

6 mins in and he's already contradicting himself saying the whole thing is a racket...which if this was the case, it wouldn't have the impact he claimed it had at the opening

#

Now he's shitting out acronyms from OSHA about injuries

#

This is the dumbest argument I've read in 2024

#

If this were a spice, I'd call it paprika.

#

No heat...Just spreading shit around.

cloud jay
#

I love the early-mid forward game in FFX. The sphere grid in particular is one of the better skill systems to me, but GD does the f'n story draaaaaaaaag initially in the early-game. I want to give it another playthrough, but holy sheet, I don't know if I can be mind-numbingly bored like that just to get to the good stuff.

mental rose
#

Holy cow, I haven't seen anyone mention FFX in ages...

cloud jay
#

I don't mind the grind so much. That's a kind of mind-numbing where I can multi-task and meander about...but the early-game, where I sorta have to pay attention to get stuff progressed...man, what a slog.

#

Yeah, I've been on a retro kick lately.

#

I need my jrpg fix...

mental rose
#

Exactly how early we talking about here? I don't remember it being a slog.
Then again, I'm a completionist. Gotta look everywhere

coarse swift
cloud jay
#

It's just the initial ramp up of the story. In reality, it's not all that bad, but definitely not something I look forward to. Maybe it's just the voice acting...lol

dry copper
#

So 15 mins in, guy finally drew some correlation between CSR and DEI, but then used games that were shit as demonstrable evidence of their failure when those games failed for a hundred reasons unrelated to inclusivity...We're talking Suicide Squad and Concord.

#

This video is hot garbage.

cloud jay
dry copper
#

This video is a gish gallop of shit being thrown carte blanche at the wall

#

All aimed at shitting on DEI

mental rose
dry copper
#

I'm surprised he's not complaining about women being allowed to vote

cloud jay
#

What?!?! Since when!?! Perposterous!

dry copper
#

Hilarious. In the same video he shits on Suicide Squad for DEI, he praises BG3 trying to claim that their DEI was an afterthought.

cloud jay
#

Yeah, I'll stick to my ol'-timey games where none of that mattered. They and I will just sit here in our old corner and quietly die when our times comes...all old and stuff.

silver sparrow
cloud jay
#

Whole, or as a rainbow lump?

dry copper
#

The most disingenuous thing about the whole video was his closing argument about how this video isn't shitting on DEI (yes it is), but in how it's being implemented. Except he isn't attacking its implementation and the evidence he's used to demonstrate its poor application is in games that were shit for so many reasons that the only way he could draw the conclusion he did was to claim CSR (corporate social responsibility) was driving hiring practices to shape DEI in video games poorly and rob developers of any responsibility for their own decisions when things go wrong.

#

He tried to claim at one point the same developers blamed DEI (without evidence) for the failure of their games, using it as a shield against criticism.

mental rose
#

I didn't even watch the vid in question. I will say that I am very careful which games I put my money into these days.

orchid fox
orchid fox
#

but i aint going into that fire

#

but yes hes talking a bit excessively

dry copper
#

lol I know...but his argument is so one sided and lacking evidence to support it - He might as well be an angry grampa bitching about the most heinous shit that he can't get away with anymore.

orchid fox
#

ye despite being full time ytbner now i wouldnt really say his videos is well setup in reporter stuff his game videos fine but he doesnt back with reports etc and doin a fair bit of tangents

That is an understatement

orchid fox

#

@dry copper Do you know SmashJT? If so, what's your opinion of him?

orchid fox
#

i didnt mean to provoke anyone fyi

dry copper

He should have written his rant in essay format and reasoned through it to provide his evidence instead of going on tangents.

orchid fox
#

95% of ytbers

#

make a damn script

#

lol

dry copper
#

He would've either disproven his own claims, learned a better structure to the argument or at the very least been able to defend the argument with more than the passing outrage of what would amount to an army of fans bent on attacking anyone that disagrees with him because they agree without question.

#

Having a DEI consultancy firm is stupid though.

orchid fox
dry copper
#

Read the comments. It's a bunch of yes men

#

It's an echochamber

orchid fox

to be fair he is at least right in the title games and industry as art are kinda dead but he just rambles a lot of stuff without much images or reports
idk if hes a fello auadhd person (i think he is but cant remember if he ever stated) but a script or trying to write down thoughts point by point should prob help instead of rambling for 40min

dry copper
#

Under 30 😛

orchid fox
#

not all vids need to be artificially extended for ranting for an hour

dry copper
#

I'd say maybe 15 mins of the video was rambling on tangents. The rest was on the subject.

orchid fox
# dry copper Under 30 😛

u do realize im 24 i said the auadhd sattement just cuz the mental patterns of how he handle stuff not much else to it

#

dry copper

I don't realize you're 24. I was granting him a credit for not ranting for 40 mins.

orchid fox
#

fair

#

but im afraid to check comments

#

lol

dry copper
#

I don't blame you.

#

It's an interesting subject, but I get the impression he's gone off the deep end trying to draw a causal relationship between the correlation of CSR and DEI, turning corporations into some sort of hiring/firing boogeyman...particularly when he cites some that have DEI as a part of their whole corporate infrastructure in the positive while he shits on ones that are less structured and do not enforce DEI in the negative.

Is being jaded considered a bad thing?

dry copper

Depends

Are you a valuable gem or an easily replicated one?

I don't get it, but that Gif made me chuckle. 😄

A jade is a gem

Being jaded.....Made of a valuable stone

That... can't be it.

I was using double meaning

I'm not exactly an intellectual 😄

Neither am I.

#

Don't try to imply I'm intellectuist

#

I make words up

#

I mumble malarky

#

I don't believe being jaded is a bad thing. It depends on to what degree and with how refined being jaded one is.

#

Everyone is jaded about one thing or another.

#

I am jaded about door to door sales people

#

They come to my door, I don't care what they are selling...unless they need me to call the cops, I don't want to buy it.

#

Though, in all honesty: If someone came to my door selling decent gaming PCs at a reasonable price, I might be inclined to answer.

#

Like a reverse black friday...

#

That gives me an idea for a charity that goes around selling things people can gift at dirt cheap prices door to door

#

"Give a little take a little"

#

Selling donations Door to Door

mental rose
#

The point that I was trying to make is that people are praising the Silent Hill 2 remake, despite all the controversies it's swam through....
Apparently it's good, yet censored at parts

#

So does me not wanting to play it make me jaded?

dry copper
#

It's censored? why?

#

Isn't it rated adult?

#

Who is it censored for?

mental rose
#

There is a scene they cut from the remake that was dealing with... self-destructive topics

dry copper
#

Was it cut or just never added?

#

I mean...the whole game is about self destructive topics.

#

Dude is in his own private hell over the death of his wife

#

The nurses are a perversion of his thoughts because he fantasized about the nurses that took care of his dying wife

#

There's a lot of content different in the remake from the original game

#

I haven't played it, but I just checked a 1:1 comparison of cut content

#

I don't think you're jaded for not wanting to buy it over cut content.

#

It's not going to be the same game, but that is clearly intentional.

# drifting forge What are „the rules“?

The leader of the party was expected to form a coalition government, but he could not. Because he could not, the government failed to form. The second place then gets to try and form a coalition government which would then be the majority...Canada has a similar system in place when forming the government.

#

If the minority government can not form, a coalition can change it.

#

It's called a non confidence motion in Canada

#

The conservatives have been trying to remove the liberal party for years through repeat non-confidence votes because the liberals have a coalition government with the block and ndp

drifting forge
dry copper
#

Yeah that party would need to have a majority to form without a coalition. Something they will likely never have.

#

They peaked at 28%

mental rose
#

But I still enjoyed the hell out of it. The police station was incredibly well-made, and tickled my nostalgia so hard

drifting forge
mental rose
#

So I guess it was because I had faith on Capcom... not 100% sure.

#

And then came time for RE3 remake.... I'll never forgive them for cutting the Clocktower segment...

#

It wasn't bad, but it was short

#

Guess what I'm trying to say here, is that I'm nervous about trying the SH2 remake, because I don't have faith on the studio that made it (Konami doesn't give a crap...)

#

I don't trust them enough to pay the full price for it though.

coarse swift

Not gonna have anything good to say about Konami since they're still holding the Metal Gear and Bomberman IPs hostage

Despite what was cut

#

Same reason I didn't buy Avatar even when I could get it for $20

I don't trust ubisoft and reviews seem to suggest it's just far cry in another setting.

I played every far cry I ever care to. Capture the tower bs is boring

The Avatar game based on the first movie was okay... it's a shame you can't buy it anymore

I might justify the brain rot for $15, because I was close to getting it for $20.

I understand artistic integrity in video games, but if a game relies on being annoying or obnoxious to preserve its integrity, it's not a question of the integrity of its artform anymore.

It was dumb of the Video Game History Foundation to make the argument in favor of remote sharing.

#

From a legal standing it looks like a finicky attempt to legalise piracy

#

Whether a game is in circulation or not is not a defense

#

Imagine being told that you can't decide to stop providing a service because someone else thinks it has "historical significance"

#

That's the slippery slope that VGHF was heading down.

#

In denying the request, the article cited public libraries that already do this very thing, lending out digital versions of books, movies and even video games for recreational purposes

#

What you're going to see next is a copyright infringement claim against VGHF.

Made the mistake of posting a bunch of positive reviews I found for Veilguard in a server full of people who apparently think gaming YouTubers are Jesus and never wrong, so they promptly ignored the positive stuff I found and latched onto one YouTuber's review instead AhsokaEyeRoll

obtuse reef
#

That’s annoying

#

I usually don’t use YouTubers as a good way to find out if a game is worth it or not

#

They’re useful for finding gameplay footage, and even then most of them edit the hell out of the footage

austere lance
#

One would think if a game like Veilguard, which had everyone extremely worried about its quality since the reveal trailer, had an insane amount of high reviews drop today that people would be happy, right? Nope. I posted this in that server and everyone hopped on Skill Up's "I don't recommend it" review instead

obtuse reef
#

There’s one ULTRAKILL review that was so bad that it bothers me to this day

austere lance
#

Notice how those reviews aren't all from big popular sites who are usually getting paid a bunch, either. There's small sites in there that have zero reason to lie

obtuse reef
#

The guy wanted the game to be more like DOOM Eternal, and he tried to take credit for a change that was added to the hard damage system (which was that style reduces hard damage). He even argued that you can beat the game with just the starting pistol and then proceeded to complain about how his style was so bad (in ULTRAKILL, the more you use one weapon the less style you get)

austere lance
#

But no, let's only listen to our previous YouTube cults instead AhsokaEyeRoll

obtuse reef
#

Yeah, I don’t know why people latch on to YouTubers so much

#

It’s really annoying because they only parrot the opinions of said YouTubers and will refuse any other arguments

austere lance
#

"But they think like I do!"
No they don't, you think like them because you don't want to do your own research and you like their buzzwords

obtuse reef
#

It pisses me off when people refuse to see any evidence or counter arguments and just go “Nuh uh, this random YouTuber put his take online and thats the best evidence that the game is shit”

#

Especially if it’s about a game that I really enjoy, like ULTRAKILL

austere lance
#

I wasn't even defending the game, I've only played 18 hours of one Dragon Age game so far 😆
I just told them that if there's a ton of good reviews but YouTubers are being shit towards it like they've been shit towards everything for the last couple years maybe they should do their own research before hopping in bed with the YouTubers.
I specifically said "It's much better to read reviews from a bunch of sources to see what they have in common, then watch watch no-commentary gameplay to see if it vibes with you or not"

obtuse reef
#

Some of these people don’t even play the games, they’re just trying to defend their favorite YouTuber and hide their lack of context the best they can

dry copper
#

Star Wars Outlaws is absolutely not worth the purchase. The game is barely 2 stars.

austere lance
#

I coulda told you that, lol. The game's so broken that the devs promised a 2.0 release within a week of it dropping 😆

dry copper
#

Buggy as hell. Even if you're lucky to hit the middle ground and common denominator demographic its designed for, the content for the game being open world is shamefully small.

#

It's the most linear open world game I've ever played with a story that only progresses when you meet very specific criteria and your abilities are tied to story progress

#

You never get released to do what ever you want with all your abilities until the very end of the game

austere lance
#

Yeah, cuz they got rushed and it isn't finished. That's why they immediately dropped the roadmap with multiple big updates planned that fix everything from stealth to combat to basic gameplay mechanics

dry copper
#

By then you've made decisions that block you off from entire areas

#

Stealth is OP. It's like playing with idiot AI.

#

They're even dumber than the NPC in Skyrim

#

You get caught by a bad guy....Run a little bit and hide in a bush...they will quickly lose interest and act like you were never there, unless they are on a base in which case it trips an alarm system that triggers an intergalactic war against you

#

You can actually defeat the whole volley of enemies against you and the alarm never goes away unless you do a very specific task to reset the alarms....which can be done without defeating a single one of them

obtuse reef
#

If you want a game with good AI, play Rainworld

dry copper
#

In space, go to another planet and come back. On the ground, tickle a computer located in a tiny light house with no lights in it guarded by four guards.

#

Or if you want a game with good bots (or if you want to suffer), play GTFO

dry copper

I didn't run into many game breaking bugs and I saved often so was able to get around them, but it's a game I'd not even touch twice after having beaten it once.

Star Wars Outlaws has no replayability

I’m mixed on early access. Sometimes it’s a good thing and it shows that a bad game can get better, as well as new useful features being added. On the other hand, it can also be a sign of a half assed game trying to excuse their shortcomings as “early access”

Barotrauma is a good example of good early access. It was already a pretty entertaining game, but they expanded on it over time, and they had their 1.0 release about a year or so ago

That Forever Winter game is an interesting case. Apparently people really really wanted it to come out into EA, but it wasn’t ready for it and now it’s kinda barebones

Only in multiplayer

#

And you can use Cryo Chambers to mitigate that

tranquil glen

would rather be timegated than mitigating survival offline in games if i had to chose a lesser evil

obtuse reef
#

If you just remember to put your stuff away before logging off, you don’t even have to use Cryo Chambers

tranquil glen
#

if i play solo yea or if server shuts down along with me

obtuse reef
#

If you’re playing solo, the world will just shut down and nothing will change while you’re away

#

In the grand scheme of things, it’s a really minor issue

#

It’s probably to discourage the players from logging off to save themselves or any valuable resources

tranquil glen
#

ive played both ark and engieers solo i get what happens in both

mental rose

Hehe. That reminds me of a system in EVE online.
If you log out after being recently in combat, your ship/pod linger in place for 15 minutes before despawning.

Solo ARK world works in reverse. Nothing progresses when you're offline for better or worse.

A lot of it looks just cosmetic, but still, it's a lot of content in general in DLC form. Maybe too much. XD

i just got finished playing it xD

obtuse reef
#

It’s a bit janky, and it’s constantly being changed so recipes and whatnot can be easier or harder to obtain

#

But it’s got a unique setting and style

#

Missions are sort of like in DRG or any other game like that, but they have a time limit of days and play like any normal survival game

#

There’s also an open world mode if you don’t want to mess with that

inland oasis

i finally can remember the difference between open world and outposts now too

obtuse reef

Aren’t outposts just easier?

open world is still you vs the map, but outposts take place on like a custom smaller portioned map, no weather events iirc, or predators even (i think). cuz yea thats the "safe" mode

obtuse reef

Also, I learned that you can still extract exotics in open world mode

#

There’s a node in one of the deserts

inland oasis

yea you gotta get all the way up to the mission radio station thing i think

for tech

obtuse reef

I know you need an electric drill to get them

inland oasis

been awhile since i got that deep. i only just started a brand new fresh open world

And yes, you do need to be able to call in the exotics extraction rocket

You can also find small nodes in random caves, but they give nowhere near as many

inland oasis

ok im glad you confirmed it cuz i was gonna say mine came from caves. i never had to find a node

I made it to the composite armor

Exotics in ore form don’t respawn, but the nodes do respawn every few days or so

thats all the further i ever been. up to the rifle shotgun and pistol.

It’s not a repost, we were just talking about it

#

And nine hours?!

winter yew
#

Most reviews mention stuff that skill up has in a nice way like mortismal

#

If I'm miss remembering the time it was some hours yeah

obtuse reef
#

And aren’t there a lot of that guys fans who are adamant that that game is bad?

#

Or did I miss something in that earlier conversation

coarse swift
#

From my understanding, Mortismal says it's his personal game of the year, and skill up hates it

winter yew
#

Yesnt
Yoy ever hear the expression it's not a good assassins creed it'd a good game tho

#

It's just not a rpg

coarse swift
#

But I don't watch reviewers usually

obtuse reef
#

If I watch a review, it’s either because the person making the review is entertaining or I need more gameplay examples. I never value a reviewers opinion over everyone else’s

coarse swift
#

What's jarring to me is that DAV only takes like 3 decisions from the past games into account while DAI took just about every decision into account, even the small ones

winter yew
#

Girlfriend reviews likes the game too but not for its rpg systems

obtuse reef
#

I know everyone’s opinion is valid, but sometimes people have legitimately bad takes

coarse swift
#

All that matters to me is if the writing is still the same quality. It's meant to be a relatively brutal dark fantasy

#

I think gameplay should stay similar to its predecessors as well tbh, but that's just me

#

People are saying the combat is nothing like DA anymore. More like God of War 2018

austere lance
#

It's what happens if you wait a decade to make a sequel. You gotta find a way to sell your game to newer people who weren't around for the OGs

#

I'm seeing old fans loving it tho, thankfully

coarse swift
#

If the older games were able to draw in gamers from back then, they can still do it now. People get the idea that for some reason a new generation needs a new take to like something

#

I'm gonna reserve judgment till the games out tho

#

It could blow me away for all I know, but I also know that the combination of both gameplay and writing is what drew me into dragon age

To be fair they don't have to play the games this is the generation of YouTube and twitch

No writer worth their salt is going to make you require a hundred hours of prep to just get into the story and understand it.

coarse swift

#

It's not like we're looking at the script for Far Cry 5

coarse swift
#

Yea there was a bunch of smaller stuff for DAI to work out in the tapestry, but you only need to worry about it if you're fully invested and want to handle it

#

And tbh, if a newer generation doesn't want to 'sit through a story recap' to know the gist of it, then why are they playing story-driven RPGs

#

Or sequels for that matter

austere lance
# coarse swift Also, BG3 didn't have this problem

Yeah but BG3 is a very very very different type of game that's never gone out of style or popularity. Dragon Age gameplay from Origins to Inquisition was stuck in the early 2000s Knights of the Old Republic formula. Releasing this one a decade after the last already-dated game meant they had to change things to sell it, like the combat

On the 31st

Probably some early access players now or something

Did they do the 3d EA thing with preorders?

winter yew
#

It don't even feel like early acess with these games anymore just punishment for not paying enough

#

lol I saw a review on youtube today that I turned off almost immediately. They open with "In this review we're going to tell you why we're not going to do a review right now"...so I turned it off.

Fucking insulting people with grandstanding bullshit

#

I hate the bait and switch

coarse swift
austere lance
#

I'm tired and brain no worky and I've already had this argument at least twice today. Point being: Bioware had to change things like the combat if they wanted this to sell. They also had to make it able to be played on its own with no knowledge of the previous games because the last game came out so long ago that there's an entire generation of adults who work and pay taxes and shit who were in middle school when it released, and it had dated gameplay even back then

dry copper
#

I dunno about that. Inquisition is a pretty sick game even by todays standards

#

It would invite todays market

coarse swift
#

Yea, I don't consider any of them to feel dated if I'm being honest

#

Planetside 2 feels and looks dated
Dragon Age Origins doesn't

dry copper
#

My favorite was Dragon Age 2

austere lance
#

There are plenty of characters and references and whatnot tying it to the OG trilogy, but there's plenty of new things too

coarse swift

It's just old, that's all

#

I just watched a video essay on this very subject from a game developer whose game failed because he made it too "for the times"

#

You can try to make a game modern and fail because its demographic doesn't appreciate changes to the formula

coarse swift
#

Think there's a lot of examples popping up now of games made for the modern audience that end up flopping

dry copper
#

Take any game that starts with an art style similar to zelda

#

A link to the past

#

That art style is appreciated by all generations

coarse swift
#

Rather than try to fit a demographic, just tell your story and make it how you want it to be Shrek_WowThere
Fuck investors n shareholders

mental rose
dry copper
#

Dude tried to make his game his way and he wanted to make it with a new graphic outlook...and it failed, not because of shareholders or investors

coarse swift
dry copper
#

It failed because the fans of the first one didn't buy the second one.

#

Just looking at the differences between the first and second iteration of the game shows a clear and distinct difference between the two titles

#

With only 6 or 7 total enemy types in the whole game, every fight starts to feel basically the same pretty quickly and the 1-2 hours of combat between major story progression become a huge drag. 👎

dry copper
#

Maybe, but properly written fantasy literature doesn't assume you know the world before describing it to you

mental rose
# dry copper Bad writing is bad.

Funny you mention that, because the creative directors/story architects for the games were none other than the 2 founding members of Sweet Baby Inc.

inland oasis
#

Oh I’m not defending it I’m just throwin a guess as to what it meant

dry copper
#

The whole point of writing fantasy is to put people in a fantasy setting and it requires the written part to invite you in, not steal your shoes and shove you through the door.

balmy plaza
#

From what I've heard, the world building is the only good bit

#

The actual plot and gameplay looks terrible

dry copper
mental rose
dry copper
#

No idea what that is

balmy plaza
#

Tbf they've been involved in some really amazing games, it's just that people like to not mention that

#

Including what I'd argue is one of the best written games in the last decade

dry copper
#

I hate when people use words like "mysterious" in describing things. As a fantasy role-player, nothing is inherently mysterious...It's the writers job to give it mystery, not assign it mystery.

mental rose
#

On the surface anyway.

dry copper
#

Mystery is not assumed by the writer, but the reader.

#

It insults a reader to tell them what they are supposed to feel

#

What they should think

#

Lazy writing

balmy plaza
#

This is why joker 2 didn't need to exist ngl

dry copper
#

I can see why Awakening failed just looking at the trailer for the game

#

I really hope they didn't have these real actors in the actual game

balmy plaza
#

Live action in games can be fantastic, it just needs to be done well which it usually isn't

dry copper
#

Like how games in the 90s used to do, using real actors in place of characters with cinamatics taken in practical filmed sets

#

I can't recall live action in a game that was ever fantastic

dry copper
#

Maybe. Command & Conquer was more tacky. They didn't try to imply the live action could take away part of the game. The trailer for Awakening it looks like they opted for live action (and maybe this is just the trailer), in place of scenes that would've been better served cgi

#

I'm wrong I just found a game that did live action well

#

Quantum Break

#

and yeah probably if Alan Wake 2 had it...

#

Is Quantum Break in the same universe as Control?

balmy plaza
dry copper
#

Max Payne is in the same universe lol

balmy plaza
#

This trailer basically sums up how the game blends live action into the game, it's super trippy

Is Conan exiles worth downloading. Had it for a while, played it like 10 mins, then deleted it for a diff game cuz of storage space issues lol

dry copper
#

Depends. Are you getting any DLC?

#

It's not a bad game. There's a ton of free shit.

#

The modding scene is absolutely bonkers.

inland oasis
#

I don’t even consider dlc until/unless the base game is actually already good lol

#

Or at least until I’ve learned the basics

dry copper
#

It's a decent survival game.

#

The story is meh. Survival can be bruuuuutal

#

There are mythological creatures you don't even get a hint they exist until you're really powerful

#

Then you're fighting really scary bosses

balmy plaza
#

It looks better than other similar games tbf

#

Like ark etc

inland oasis
#

I was comparing it to ark tbh. Since it’s not a behemoth of a download

dry copper
#

I like the building mechanics

#

It's better than ark in every way

inland oasis
#

That’s enough for me to try it out then

dry copper
#

More stable, more scalable, you can tame creatures and people

inland oasis
#

tame people? lol like slaves or as companions? XD

dry copper
#

There is slavery in the game

mental rose
inland oasis
#

LOL

dry copper
#

You basically kidnap people instead of killing them and torture them until they like you and then they do shit for you

#

Like processing and guarding your base

inland oasis
#

think itd run like shit on a HDD? xD

mental rose
#

Even though you can capture humans in Palworld too

dry copper
#

yes, and the slaves can be better or worse in terms of quality

#

Only game that it compares to is a game that came out recently

inland oasis
#

is there sorcery and magic n stuff later in game?

dry copper
#

yes

inland oasis

sweet, only asking cuz the cover art looks to show 2-3 styles of fighter. mage, warrior/barbarian, id imagine rangers.

The elder scrolls have written on them iirc both past present and future

#

The appear when they want to
They chose who will read them
Note I have only played skyrim but quite a bit is explained in the dawngaurd quest line by both the moth priest and also a smidgen by the librarian in winterhold

#

But the are believed to have no creator

At present

#

And blanks please fill them in

I need knowledge

Just like hermaus mora

dry copper
#

The scrolls are just literary devices by the developers to motivate a general narrative.

dry copper
#

They serve whatever magical role the developers want in any given game

#

In Skyrim they were used to send Alduin into the future and to teach the dragonborn rend

#

In fact, the player can read it and get temporarily blinded, while if you have a moth priest read it they go perma-blind
