I've been playing the Arkham series again, starting with Asylum. I'm shocked at just how well this game has aged. Still amazing.
winter yew
I kinda love all 3 games about equally, though I have strong nostalgia for Asylum and tend to favor it slightly
Never played Origins
This will be the third time I do a 100% file for Asylum. I've never gone 100% with either City or Knight, but I plan to do it this time
I do think when it comes to the story and quality of the villain encounters, City is the best one. It just has the most amount of impressive moments
I think Knight has better atmosphere and general gameplay, though. It feels more like Asylum but outside, whereas City feels a bit muted to me
Weird how all 3 games excel in very different areas from each other
austere lance
Knight has some damn good DLC's
Batmobile is fun but the Predator and melee combat options are where the game really shines
full pivot
@brisk merlin only doom i haven't finished is 2016; nyx was talking about the BFG apparently being in Enter the Gungeon
winter yew
I actually really love the batmobile in Knight for some reason. It's pretty shallow, but damn does it make me feel like I'm playing one of Nolan's movies
austere lance
If you've played 2 hours of DOOM 2016 you've played the whole game, lol
Doesn't really change much
winter yew
Hey, Doom 2016 is a masterpiece 
austere lance
It's even better if you're using the Dark Knight batmobile and skin, lol @winter yew
winter yew
The amount of secrets packed into the huge levels, the old school style high adrenaline shootouts, the bosses, the presentation, the god tier music...that game resurrected the dead art of the pre-console era of shooters
I love how you can unlock guns much earlier just by finding secrets in the early stages. No need to wait until the game "officially" gives it to you
willow crypt
winter yew
Pretty insane how long it's been between Last of Us and its sequel. Wonder if it really takes that long to develop games like that
Naughty Dog does love to make really graphically and cinematically ambitious games, so maybe
austere lance
It's been 15 years since the first Beyond Good and Evil
At least 16 by the time BGE 2 releases
winter yew
Yeah, but that's a classic title that never really intended to have a sequel, iirc
Last of Us was clearly the first part
austere lance
It'll be 15 years between Psychonauts and Psychonauts 2
Beyond Good and Evil 2 has been very slowly worked on since the first game, btw
winter yew
I haven't even played the first Psychonauts lmao. I own it on Steam but I haven't touched it yet
austere lance
Holy shit why, it's hilarious ๐
One of my favorite games ever, it's just bonkers
winter yew
My gaming backlog is gigantic. And I'm also a fan of strategy and roguelikes, which tend to keep my attention from other things
austere lance
You played Arkham trilogy tho 
Psychonauts is worth it because it's one of the few games I can think of that's truly unique
winter yew
Yes, but before I started this Arkham trilogy run, I was playing a mixture of Oxygen Not Included, Cities Skylines, Risk of Rain 2...pretty much everything that has "addiction" written all over it
It's kinda rare that I actually play a shorter, story-focused game
austere lance
If you're into rogue-likes I recommend Void Bastards and Dead Cells btw
Psychonauts is short but bizarre as hell and greatly entertaining, you should try it
winter yew
Oh yeah, I've also been playing Dead Cells. Still working on the forge in that game so I can actually beat higher boss cells
willow crypt
And Rad
winter yew
I do need to get around to these shorter games though. Maybe after the Arkham trilogy, I'll play Psychonauts and Okami
austere lance
Okami is NOT short, lol
winter yew
Well, shorter than the usual "never ends" type of game I play
austere lance
Think 35+ hours depending on how much you explore and do side stuff
winter yew
Let's say "beatable game"
austere lance
Ah
Psychonauts is actually short, it's like 6 hours
Fun game to play through in an afternoon
winter yew
I'll get to it first after Batman, then
Also some open world-type games I still need to play, like Dying Light and Mad Max. I've played like 2-3 hours of each and I love the gameplay
but I tend to get distracted lol
Mad Max has easily the best vehicle combat I've ever experienced in a game...and I've only done the early game stuff without all the cool car upgrades.
austere lance
I got bored of Dying Light because I burnt out on Dead Island years ago and it felt too similar, Mad Max is good tho
If Rage 2 didn't have garbage design choices its vehicle combat would be as good as Mad Max's, smh
winter yew
Yeah, I noticed Rage 2 basically has the same style of vehicle combat, but from the vids I've seen, it lacks that raw kinetic energy Mad Max's has
austere lance
I'm like 14 hours into Rage 2 and it's just unbelievably frustrating that the devs dropped all the fantastic vehicle combat from the first game and replaced it with the boring stuff they have now
winter yew
Which is a shame, cause on paper, a game with a combination of Doom 2016 shooting and Mad Max vehicle combat sounds like a dream
But I've only heard bad things
austere lance
First game had legit Twisted Metal style races with rockets and power-ups and machine guns, this one has.......do 3 laps and you're done
winter yew
I also think Mad Max did a really good version of the Batman melee combat. In some ways I think it's better, but it's not as flashy or fluid as Batman's
austere lance
And for some reason they decided not to bring back being able to customize multiple vehicles, now you can only customize your boring "super" car
The first game even had a collectible card game you could play, smh. Not Rage 2 tho ๐ฌ
winter yew
It's funny how both Rage games have amazing ideas, but they fall short on the execution. They could both have been legendarily good, but either the devs were too ambitious or the publisher was too interfering
and it was never to be
austere lance
Combat was arguably better because it was more focused on guns and not dumbass superpowers. You could use multiple different ammo types for each gun and there were fun deployables like a little spider robot that followed you around
But nooooooo, Rage 2 needed to be BIG and LOUD and SHINY
winter yew
Yeah, I tend to dislike it when a series completely changes basically its whole genre between games. Stay consistent and just do your first game, but better. Build on the good ideas you had, and mix in new ones.
austere lance
I've beaten the first game 5 or 6 times and easily put 100+ hours into it, I've put 14 into 2 and I'm basically finished
First one was a first-person shooter with fun mechanics and badass races, second one is DOOM+Crackdown with horrid races ๐คข
winter yew
The Arkham games is how you properly do sequels, imo. Each game iterated properly, and the only major downfall of Knight was its shoddy launch and (subjectively) its story, though I think that is fine and it holds up compared to City
austere lance
Rage 2 also decided it needed to be friggin open-world, smh
winter yew
IMO the biggest flaw of the entire Arkham series is the bosses. Not a single freaking game has a boss that really impressed me
At best, they're passable. Somewhat fun, but nothing great
austere lance
Open world should stop, too many empty-ass open world games out there rn. Stick with big hub areas like Metro Exodus and Gears 5 and Darksiders 2
winter yew
I think open world can be done well, but I agree that it usually leads to a lot of empty space and wasted money
But you can put in too much into an open world game. Look at Ubisoft's maps: They're like "there has to be a secret or collectible or fight on every single square foot of this map"
And that just leads to overwhelming the player with fluff
austere lance
The only open world games I can think of that didn't bore me to tears within an hour were Skyrim, Witcher 3, Red Dead Redemption 1, Fallout 3, and Far Cry 3+4+Primal
And Arkham City+Knight
winter yew
Even Witcher 3, the seemingly perfect open world RPG by many people, has this problem. "Here's 500 question marks that mostly lead to uninteresting loot and monsters"
Bleh.
austere lance
The question marks mostly sucked but there were some cool side things in the question marks too
winter yew
That actually bothers me more because there's no way to tell which ones are worth going to
So without a guide, you have to check them all
austere lance
Nah, I never bothered checking em all. If you do the billboard side quests and hunts they point you in the direction of the fun ones
winter yew
Thankfully if there's an actual sidequest nearby, the game will just mark an "!" on the map instead of making you run over every inch of land
But I really like getting blueprints and a lot of the question marks lead to rare blueprints for gear
(Even though anything that isn't Witcher gear is meh, but I'm very anal about completion in my games)
austere lance
Just buy the maps to the blueprints from vendors, lol
That's what I did. There was no way in hell that I was gonna run around investigating everything looking for diagrams
winter yew
Well, I've already formed a solution for the question marks. I do a few of them between quests. I do some on the way to objectives, etc. I never, ever go on an expedition specifically to uncover them. I try to get them dynamically through normal gameplay
So far it's working
The ones that this won't work for...are the underwater Skellige ones. I'll just have to do those little bits at a time lol
austere lance
Also, there's some good non-Witcher gear. Mainly weapons, but in Blood and Wine there's some good armor too
winter yew
I am just nitpicking, I still really enjoy TW3. I just hope CDPR doesn't repeat this with Cyberpunk. Make the secrets more secret and meaningful...and don't spam their locations all over my map of the city
I think you can hide them in TW3's map, but...it's too tempting to use it. I'd rather they just never gave their positions at all
It hurts the authentic feeling of the world when Geralt knows where everything is
brisk merlin
I expected that
cinder vessel
hope they're getting paid well
winter yew
Well, Witcher 3 doesn't have those either. All of the question mark spots are handplaced, they just have very little to them
austere lance
I vaguely remember the devs mentioning not doing the question mark thing in Cyberpunk, you'll learn where stuff is by talking to people and earning street cred

wild oyster
going by what i read in forum they destroyed cubeworld with the current version
raven frost
goodnight
wild oyster
guess after what i read i can skip this game
wonder why devs think revamping the game is a good way to and the alpha
winter yew
destroyed?
wild oyster
from what i read, leveling gone, if you go to a new area you lose equip (unless it is + maybe)
invisible area border, smaller area
stuff like that
winter yew
weird
wild oyster
one complained he went to a new area with a boat and had to swim back because he still didnt earn a boat in the new area
wild oyster
which sound rather strange
winter yew
I just want to be able to kill trash mobs at the start, running from everything even BEES.
wild oyster
i think color of name or something tells the danger
winter yew
Kinda annoying going over a mountain and getting slaughtered by a caterpillar xD
Years ago when I played it I do remember getting good enough gear to take on a few dungeon things
wild oyster
doesn't sound like a good game

yeeaaah im not sure about this lol.. I'll give it some time
crisp sparrow
Ok RLCraft modpack is legit unfair lol
Insane ugly mobs spawning goddamn everywhere
Gonna make my own pack that's similar but isn't unnecessarily brutal
wet warren
Sounds good. RLCraft looks like fun but also looks really difficult to even get started
wild oyster
i wonder what cube world paid for the fake reviews
crisp sparrow
@wild oyster are you joking or?
wild oyster
why would i? many of the reviews seem like they are just fake ones to make the game look good
i mean what do "positive" reviews like "the title screen is great" or "finaly after 6 years it gets released"
say?
nothing at all
thats just a sad try to push a game
crisp sparrow
You do realise what game you're talking about?
It's not a EA productions nor its even an indie studio it's literally just 2 people who made a game in their spare time as a passion project
Some people decided to leave weird and fake reviews on their steam listing
Happens a lot
wild oyster
if you have passion why ruin it?
crisp sparrow
Nobody did?
Well actually the fanbase did almost send the guy into full on clinical depression
wild oyster
well going by the things i could read i learned the way of progression turned into shit
crisp sparrow
Yeah because he suffered from trauma and some amount of PTSD from the internet
People sending death threats and what not
wild oyster
i'm meaning the game progression
crisp sparrow
Idk that, I never played the game and only watched some of the footage from the alpha release
wild oyster
and although i think death threats and such are shit i see why people are angry
crisp sparrow
Yeah and now the game will be on steam so if you didn't buy the game before, you can do it now and if you don't like it just refund it within that window
wild oyster
well basicly if you change area all your equip gets unequipted and even if you reequip it is a lot weaker then before
if you sail into a new area your boat vanishes under your ass
crisp sparrow
Sounds like a bug
wild oyster
and although you can find + equipment it will only be effective in the 8 areas around the one were you got it
no, because you still didn't earn boat in the new area it goes away till you earn it
at least from what i understand
anyway threats are bad but i can see people getting angry if a working game that might have some flaws suddenly gets completly revamped
full pivot
nah death threats against a gave dev are always and completely unacceptable; there is no qualifier, no buts
crisp sparrow
Being angry at bugs and issues is different but you're talking about fake reviews
That you're alleging that they may be paid
I'm just addressing that
And calling it to be nearly impossible, that's all
wild oyster
well maybe not paid for but at least fake
austere lance
Maybe wait til after the open beta to judge game mechanics that sound like bugs to me
wild oyster
a 170 dmg weapon turning into a 7 dmg weapon in the next area doesn't sound like a bug
wild oyster
people call the progression ash ketchum style, every time he changes region he loses all pokemon asside pikachu and pikachu gets weak again
well that system seems to replace leveling, normal gears only works in the area you found it and + gear works in a 3x3 area
probably since leveling could be cheated with
austere lance
Yeah that sounds exactly like a bug, especially since the damage still has a 7 in it. The coding for moving between areas could be fucked and only reading the 7 in the number or something
wild oyster
then why would + items be fine till you move 2 areas instead of 1?
austere lance
Everything you're saying sounds like regular bugs, lol
wild oyster
and with the boat vanishing the moment you move over the border it seems rather intentional
especialy since inventory sorts items by area
austere lance
If it's not a bug I'm sure they're looking at the complaints and changing what they can by the open beta. There's only two people working on the game, give em a bit to catch their stride
crisp sparrow
Oof making a minecraft modpack is harder than I thought if you make a kinda big one

people are salty about items only being usable in certain areas
I can kind of understand why since regions are so small

100% a region will give + on ALL items in that area and allow to be used in surrounding is what I'm reading.
I just think the bullshit being said is just people expecting shit to be handed to them. Don't wanna work for reward.
I'm still buying on Monday, still looks hella fun.
raven frost
I think people were expecting gameplay more similar to the alpha in one way or the other
with the ability to just go anywhere

Ah I see. I guess that's fair if people had already experienced that.
raven frost
My personal opinion is that the beginning is just a bit too difficult rn
cinder vessel
not wanting work in your games, what are you, playful?
raven frost
a lot of enemies you encounter can OHKO you right at the beginning
cinder vessel
puts me in the mind of the occasional difficulty spikes in Control
going along, going along, then you stumble into an area/encounter where the enemies just destroy you
raven frost
there's not a lot of direction, either
first thing you'll want to do is find a village but nothing tells you how or where it is
(however, that's changing in a patch soon apparently)

Sure but at the same time, a lot of the complaints are null and void as soon as people actually played the game longer than 10 minutes.
It was never gunna please 100% of people.

true
but honestly if you suddenly revamp a working system because it could be exploited into a system that needs some time to understand you have to expect people being pissed
thats why i think some devs give to little informations

To put it short: It needs some adjustment, but it's better than how progression worked in the alpha
Certain aspects of terrain generation could use some work, too (certain dungeons go beyond the border of the region they start in basically meaning all of your gear becomes extremely weak mid dungeon 
)

yeah the last part is a really annoying thing just by hearing it xD
raven frost
I feel like a big part of the problem could be solved simply by making the stat change not as extreme
Instead of making them borderline useless, just give a minor debuff or something
raven frost
Hang glider and boat should be permanent items, the rest can be found again
wild oyster
that or at least stay till you landed or reached land
raven frost
hell that whole system kinda irks me though
I can understand gear being nerfed but suddenly losing the ability to ride your pets and traverse air/sea becomes annoying fast
wild oyster
yeah, maybe lower the speed a bit till you unlocked it for the new area
raven frost
Plus having to find those items was a massive chore and I don't think doing it in the next region would make it better ๐
Starting out is insane since most enemies can oneshot you and you're pretty much fucked if you spawn far away from a town
Warrior's still useless and Rouge's still overpowered
wild oyster
well since patch you should spawn closer to town
raven frost
That is true, I'm gonna check to see how much closer you do when I get home probably
I'd like to see respawn points in towns though, it's frustrating when your nearest respawn point to your town is miles away
wild oyster
can't say much to that
raven frost
This may be me being shit at games but bosses could use a teensy tiny nerf
actually nah they're okay
maybe
wild oyster
reminds me why i stoped playing planet centauri xD
raven frost
heartflowers are much harder to find meaning health potions are harder to make
wild oyster
i dodge like shit
raven frost
I've pretty much found a way to gank most enemies
The rogue has a subclass that lets you build up power when you dodge attacks, you can use the power build up to stun enemies, and your main attacks already build up power so you can build up some massive damage combos if you can keep landing hits and dodging
it's hard to explain in text exactly how exploitable rogue's abilities are, it's better shown in a video or something
wild oyster
sounds complicated
raven frost
Not to mention the ninja subclass (the one I was referring to above), which lets you use an unlimited number of throwing stars that also build up power

YEEE
80GB preload for Steam is available, time to see if my pre-emptive idea worked
Twitter
brisk merlin
what idea
iron inlet
I moved my Destiny 2 folder into my steamlibrary last month
In the hope that it'd therefore not have to download the whole thing again
So when I get home I'll see if it worked
winter yew
Ok that's kinda genius.
iron inlet
Except by when I get home I mean Friday because I haven't bought D2 on steam yet reeee
Forgot about that detail
meager panther
just start the download, pause it after 1 mb, copy paste the folder and and do the check integrrity thing
it will say its all ok and just download the stuff needed to make it work on steam
meager panther
well try it after the game releases then
brisk merlin
:v
meager panther
if it works, you probably can play the game in 15 mins after releases giving some time to copy the stuff
brisk merlin
or you could download now and know that it is going to work

if we were to set up a minecraft server, what type of modpack would you guys like to see on it? just curious
raven frost
ATM3, or something similar if possible
wet warren
A Minecraft server for the discord would be fun
reef storm
Yeah, it's something we're talking about. Just getting a feel for whether it'll be worth paying for or not
wet warren
Well you could try it for a month and see how it works out
reef storm
@raven frost https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/all-the-mods-3-remix - looks like this is the current pack now
reef storm
I'm already paying for one, so I'll just make it public and up the RAM and all that
wet warren
Sounds good
raven frost
The only minor concern about ATM3 is that it's huge
reef storm
It is.
raven frost
It takes forever to load and doesn't like lower-end hardware
cinder vessel
man, i wish lego worlds had been more successful and had server setups
reef storm
I agree.
cinder vessel
i really love its aesthetic more, and its building tools are much nicer once you get a feel for them
wet warren
Well if ATM3 doesnโt work out then you could try a different mod pack
reef storm
Right, there are PLENTY out there
raven frost
Are the endless worlds a thing again? I remember at one point playing in an infinite world then they removed it
wet warren
I only remember lego worlds having specific world sizes
cinder vessel
in Lego Worlds? i think they just have large worlds these days. before that they had a slight issue where the save files would grow in relation to the world size and that was just untenable for multiple platforms, I'm guessing
raven frost
figured
wet warren
Oh
raven frost
If you ask me it seems like they couldn't figure out what exactly they wanted LW to be
cinder vessel
They could have left it as an option in the PC build, but honestly it didn't add all that much imo, and that's coming from someone that spent like 60 hours just roaming around the infinite worlds
Yeah, they never did really figure out what they wanted the gameplay loop to be besides explore, discover, build, which at least imo is fine on its own, so long as you give sufficient parts & flexibility
However a lot of people pushed for some sort of survival mode which in a Lego setting is pretty, uh...Odd.
wet warren
@raven frost lol I see what you did there
cinder vessel
Eventually they did mention something in the vein of survival, but then went completely radio silent and I'm pretty sure everyone's convinced they scrapped it
wet warren
Because it doesnโt make much sense for a lego game

There is a full on dino simulator...and i am finding it only now
They are carefully working with researchers to accurately design every dinosaur
This is great from the looks of it
meager panther
I mean its for people who want a game like walking with dinosaur
Plus its a simulator and made by partly academic people
crisp sparrow
yea most reviews were "it's boring"
meager panther
Do you have a link to the steam page?
winter yew
Ah, so this is the dinosaur version of "Ancestors"?
meager panther
Probably lol
crisp sparrow
lmao kinda except no in depth survival stuff
Also, I think cubeworld needs some subtle colour differences in its voxels for the landscapes, it looks too clean and boring tbh
there's a term for this but I dont remember right now
winter yew
Green = Grass
Beige = Sand
White = Snow
Black and Red = Lava
crisp sparrow
yeah I mean like minor differences in the green shade so it looks more rough

Cube World gives a lot of Undertale like creation vibes to me
everything done by just 2 people, so they have full control over each part of the game including the music and tones
winter yew
The Cube World Discord has been super entertaining.
They had to create a new channel just for people to rant cause it was getting waaaaay out of control.
crisp sparrow
yea you told, and lmao
meager panther
We gotta create a similar channel for nms server too 
crisp sparrow
finally watching some beta gameplay footage, damn that death animation is amazing
winter yew
The community really is similar to NMS community at launch.
In fact there's even been some NMS and Cube World crossover memes be posted.
crisp sparrow
hahahah
meager panther
I would venture into the discord...but i don't know what kinda game it is
meager panther
Thats no man's beyond
winter yew
Cube World is an RPG in a voxel world.
Been in development for years. It got released 6 years ago and then the developers stopped sales whilst they worked on it, release is this Monday coming but owners of previous version get Steam keys.
Lots of controversy surrounding it but the game does look a ton of fun.
crisp sparrow
damn game looks really difficult
winter yew
It is really difficult. ๐
crisp sparrow
even the basic enemies have a lot of health
meager panther
Well i used to think it as a Minecraft spinoff
Is this the game where the planets actually have a edge in shape of a cube?
You can switch sides on the cube etc?
winter yew
No.
winter yew
Flat landscape, obviously all proc gen.
meager panther
Its probably not this then but i played a game where you had actual cube shaped planet
Some 3 years ago
winter yew
I'd love to know what game that is.
meager panther
Ok actually apparently its called planets 3
Planets cube (3 is a super script)
I just searched game with cube shaped planet on google ๐ฉ
So many videos showing what would happen if earth was a cube lmao
crisp sparrow
hahaha oh yeah
winter yew
Notice: At the request of the publisher, Stellar Overload is unlisted on the Steam store and will not appear in search.
meager panther
Yeah probably something happened
I haven't really following it since 2016
I played it during my time waiting for nms lol
winter yew
`I am sorry for being silent for so long. Somehow, itโs a little difficult for me to announce that fact via a news or to create a specific post for that, so I will answer to this post.
Indeed, the project is on hold for now (since the last update) and for an unknown amount of time.
In short: nothing happened like I planned in term of revenues โฆ And a team of 15 people does cost some money each month.
Sadly, in October, I didnโt have any money left to pay the team, so everyone quit the company to get other jobs ...
Since 9 months, because this situation was anticipated, I have been trying to get the money needed to finish the game (publishers, investors ...). This it is not an easy process.
In term of numbers, we spend almost 1.5 million euros (that mainly came from private investors and public loans) to get to the last update and we need almost 1 million to get the gameโs dev done.
That money I thought it would come from early access sales, but we only made 10% of the required amount. You know, video game market today is really not something easy ...
I am still optimist that I will find a way to pull through this situation.
And you will be the first ones to be warned when this will be the case. `
Spent 1.5m and only earned 100k back.
Ouch.
Dead
meager panther
Sad
But if you see all reviews are positive
All the negative reviews seem to be just that devs abandoned the game
winter yew
TBH it does look a nice game.
meager panther
It was nice when i played it
Iirc i stopped playing because it was difficult for me to actually play in survival mode lol
You have to build a spaceship using blocks...which i am not good at lmao
winter yew
I'd love to make a small game but I don't know where to start.
I can't even workout what step 1 would be lmao
meager panther
Start with unity
I started one game but i just left it lol
I don't have the time to work on it
So the remaining of my friends from the group probably work on it whenever they have time
winter yew
=/
meager panther
I also wouldn't recommend doing it as a single person
winter yew
But that's how I work, it's the only way I learn.
meager panther
It will be near impossible to get anything done as a individual
You have so much stuff to take care like
- UI and input design,menus
- textures
- props
- music
- animation and organic modelling stuff like animals etc
- visual design/artstyle
- programming for all of them,plus the actual game design needs programming
winter yew
Hmmm, valid and fair points.
meager panther
I only did 3 and 7 for the game
Plus its not like early 2000s anymore
Where you can work on something like notch did and expect it to takeoff
If your game isnt visually good,no one even bats an eye
So working on the artsyle and visuals and effects is big part of the game now
winter yew
Sure but I wouldn't even release it.
I just wanna build a game for something else to do.
I also think a game not looking visually good is no longer a valid argument.
8 bit, 2d side scrollers and voxel games are growing in popularity. People are realising that the fun part of the game is not at all the graphics.
meager panther
Voxel games are also appealing.plus i only know about 3d games
2d doesn't appeal to me. So i don't know much about game design for those kind of games
wild oyster
single dev games can be done but you shouldn't try overly complex stuff
crisp sparrow
I used to love 2D games, mostly metroidvanias
but ever since I got into proper 3D games I can't bring myself to play those anymore
ayy @torn saddle how's Noita?
@winter yew " fun part of the game is not at all the graphics"
true, but that's only for someone debating whether 3D realistic is better than 2D cartoony
otherwise, graphics counts for a LOT, if you have a bad looking game that plays well, people will not enjoy it that much because they wont be overall satisfied
It's about how well you present the game no matter what style you go to (and if its appropriate)
like eg Stardew Valley would be a really boring game, if it didnt have all those cutesy lively animations and the perfect sound design to accompany it so you dont feel bored when chopping trees
meager panther
Ex: that witness game
3d artstyle was so important for it to be successful despite just being a puzzle game
crisp sparrow
yes The Witness too, such gorgeous animations and colour schemes
crisp sparrow
Fez is another 2D side scrolling game that's just insane on its level of detail
meager panther
You have so many people playing nms but not astroneer despite astroneer being a "good" game
winter yew
Yeah sure, I absolutely agree with that.
Gears 5 being the prime example for a current gen game, if the graphics were not high quality, it absolutely would not be anywhere near as successful as it is/was.
But then you have games like Stardew Valley where the graphics don't really matter too much because of the style of the game that it is.
So, actually.
I am wrong and the graphics do matter dependant on the style of the game.
meager panther
Yeah thats a 2d game though
crisp sparrow
That's because Gears franchise revolves around those stuff
meager panther
I also hope they make a grav 2 or something lmao
crisp sparrow
meanwhile people still play TF2 a lot
meager panther
The graphics was good but then they stopped working on the game
With same premise as nms
crisp sparrow
and this might sound funny but like, even Fortnite is pretty visually appealing in its really cutesy animations and all which made it popular to begin with, but other games that did this didnt get popular because they either just went "ah give it the N64 look" without actually making the animations and videos satisfying
that's why if you look at any recent games that go for this retro-yet-modern look, they all cite actual old games as inspiration because those devs had to work around the limitations of the hardware at the time, which is much less now
torn saddle
@crisp sparrow incredible
everything I was expecting and more

that's a big fucking sword
austere lance
He's a Russian rogue, lol. Don't gotta stealth when everyone's dead
rigid haven
hnngg colonel, i'm trying to sneak around but my sword's dummy thicc and the clank of my blade keeps alerting the enemies
raven frost
I'm a rogue but I'm a ninja subclass, aka "I really don't have to sneak because if I roll at just the right moment right next to you I can deal massive damage"
rigid haven
I'll probably play like
raven frost
if you want more stealth, the rogue's other subclass, the assassin, is more stealth-oriented
rigid haven
whatever cool subclasses warriors have
rigid haven
I think berserker and guardian?
raven frost
yeah those are them
raven frost
Warrior isn't great imo, warrior felt hella weak
I don't really care for ranged classes, especially when ninja gets fucking throwing stars
and COMPLETELY BREAKS THE SUBCLASS
rigid haven
HJoly fuck
raven frost
the reason I say it completely breaks the subclass is because it basically functions like a regular hit with your normal weapon
it builds up your power, so by the time the enemy reaches you (if it even survives) you can use your secondary attack to knock it out for a couple seconds and deal a shit ton of damage
raven frost
I think it is, just needs some balancing for when you go to other regions
maybe rather than your weapons becoming actual styrofoam just give it a minor debuff
nobody likes having their power taken from them, especially when they've had to work hard for it
fallen notch
Yeah... Usually you're rewarded for exploring and/or venturing into more dangerous areas... Not punished by having your stuff wrecked.
raven frost
I think the region based leveling is neat, but like I said
needs some major tweaking
A debuff would incentivize players to find new and better gear for the region while not feeling like everything they've done is for nothing
also the fact that you lose your glider and boat is just... no.
let us keep that.
fallen notch
Why not just... put tougher enemies there, which you need further upgrades to tackle?
raven frost
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
just trying to think of a compromise so the system doesn't have to be entirely reworked, I suppose
fallen notch
It didn't need to be entirely reworked once already?
raven frost
it took him 6 years to rework it lol
though I DID notice something while in a dungeon: you get loot for other regions around you occasionally, giving you a BIT of an edge when you're heading to the next area
managed to get a really powerful sword for the next area I'm heading to but its useless here
rigid haven
If you go to a higher level and get gear from there, does it become useless if you go to a prior area?
raven frost
yep
cinder vessel
๐ค
raven frost
all the items are region based, so like they're powerful in that area
but once you leave, they become weak
rigid haven
How weird
cinder vessel
that's a...curious approach, but okay...
raven frost
that can be changed, however, by completing everything in the region that the item is in
the item gets a + next to its name meaning it can be used in the regions surrounding that region at full stats
there are actual levels but imo they don't matter that much compared to everything
they're earned by finding relics, and all they really do is give you permanent boosts to stuff like stamina, lamp range, riding speed, flying speed, etc
my feelings on the leveling are... mixed
it's a neat take and in a way it somewhat reduces grinding but I feel like it encourages staying in the same area WAY too much to be good
cinder vessel
maybe i'm misreading but it sounds like depending on how you play it might just make grind worse?
raven frost
It could, I'm just forming an opinion based on what I've experienced so far
cinder vessel
like if you really try to carry some junk from region to region, and the only way is to do a sort of completionist run of a region, oof
raven frost
yeah I can see that
cinder vessel
i dunno tho, if ever I give it a go it won't be until whenever it moves on to official release/outta beta
raven frost
and as of now doing a 100% run of a region is hard as shit because some of these enemies are fuckin dogshit hard
like my gear is almost entirely 5 star ranking and I still get killed in 4-5 hits with certain enemies
this area in particular has killed me ~10 times now ๐
raven frost
yeah, I will say that victory is hella rewarding though
though its not easy the fights feel fair in a way, like every way I've died so far is my own fault
though there is a sprinkling of bullshit in there, mage bosses can kill you with a single spell and that's awful
you know what I retract that - the fights feel fair in a way EXCEPT FOR MAGE BOSS BATTLES
FUCK mage bosses
cinder vessel
i feel like that's a classic issue in any game with mage bosses
it's always like a 50/50 how bullshit or easy is this going to be, lol
raven frost
I remembered mine off of sheer luck
alright, I'm done for the night, I think that was the 12th death
cinder vessel
is that the random af account needed for cube world?
raven frost
nah, just needed for the code
this was back when he wanted to sell CW on his own site
