selling an online game getting updates and then only ever charging once is just pretty bad
bro writing a book
fading spade
Wat
Yay!!
severe compass
Going away from the lootbox mechanic had to happen at some point
Could have used a better system
the whole monetisation is just the industry standard
Not a good excuse, especially with how high the prices are, and ESPECIALLY BECAUSE HEROS ARE LOCKED BEHIND PAYWALLS FORMING A PAY2WIN SYSTEM THAT DIDN'T EXIST PRIOR.
They had no need to paywall heros, but wanted to because money. Nothing forced their hand except for greed. Pay2Win isn't an industry standard and it should not be accepted as such. Their is no good excuse.
the depth of pve is kinda unfortunate but nothing you can just change now through these reviews
I will admit this is true, Blizzard does not care about these reviews, but players interested in maybe picking up OW2 definitely are interested in what the community thinks of the game. And if they see the community is unhappy about points like the above then they won't waste their time on the game. Also it's always worth airing grievances when a game fails to give you the bare minimum they promised. I don't care if it's a waste of time I am going to complain about broken promises! From what I have seen the average player does care, and they love the game. That's why they complain. They WANTED more OverWatch, and are unhappy that Blizzard told them they won't do it.
pvp changes seem to get mostly positive feedback
From some, others are still unhappy, as an example Pay2Play characters dominating the meta, or 5v5 being worse then 6v6y
Also the tanks I like to play being made useless at best
fading spade
Also means they could do something even worse
quiet vault
actually new heroes are not locked behind a paywall
severe compass
selling an online game getting updates and then only ever charging once is just ...
The online store was still making cash, they just realized they could make EVEN more cash for less effort with a new business model. This is a multibillion dollar company you are defending here
severe compass
actually new heroes are not locked behind a paywall
Actually wrong
quiet vault
just do the hero challenges
rancid hearth
I am personally of the group that believes the original hero roster is what shouldve been kept
adding more heros only makes balancing harder, even more annoying when blizzard already is bad at said balancing
it's a competitive shooter, it needs to be balanced to be a proper competetive shooter
severe compass
just do the hero challenges
JUST GIVE ME THE DAMN HEROS. this was standard in OW, it had no good reason to change in OW2 besides greed

its okay rn
the community not knowing what is op and whats bad doesnt help lol

that can always change, because they wont stop adding more

just play the game
severe compass
"Each hero takes 35 wins, which averages out to 70 games. Even playing QP (because for some stupid reason, playing comp is less efficient for unlocking heroes due to longer game times), game + queue averages at about 15 minutes. So for each hero, it takes about 18-20 hours, this adds up to 100 hours to earn all heros"
Man fuck that
quiet vault
damn u having long queues
i mean im not new to the game so i haven't tried the whole hero unlocking system but it sounds logical
just giving you everything there is can be pretty complicated especially in a very complicated game like overwatch
severe compass
Game PLIUS queue, also I live in Aus, so it takes longer to find matches
No I won't play, it isn't fun anymore
And part of the reason why is because these new heroes are designed to be more powerful puts my team at an unfair disadvantage. I hate playing like that, I want a game that's balanced, where I can use skill not some power to win the day
What's complex about it?
Someone logs in for the first time, "Hmm I like ninja games, I'll play as the ninja to start with, and branch out from there!"
quiet vault
Game PLIUS queue, also I live in Aus, so it takes longer to find matches
No I wo...
are they really tho
i mean jq was kinda good second half of last season
but looking at pro play and all, its mostly ow1 characters
and hero balance really ain't that important in most ranks
severe compass
Who gives a shit about Pro Players, I am in casual queue all day with randoms. I am playing near the centre of the bell curve, that's where the balance matters
quiet vault
at the point it may matter u have already got 100hrs of hours in the game
severe compass
Hero balance in important when only 1 player from each side can play as a hero and that hero is behind a paywall
quiet vault
its still not a paywall
severe compass
Like no I am not letting you gaslight me over this. It isn't fine
It sucks
It makes the game unfun
quiet vault
if you can get them for free
and yeah it might be not cool that you cant just play everyone instantly
but there is no best tank or dps or support
vapid lintel
Calling a grind "content" is disingenuous
severe compass
Oh sorry bro, I mean it's behind EITHER a 20 hour time wall, OR a paywall, and I defintely want to spend MY LIMITED time loosing to people who paid the cash for the latest OP Hero. THAT IN PRIOR GAMES WAS FREE
quiet vault
every hero is absolutely able to be played in every rank
severe compass
No quite clearly aren't
quiet vault
Calling a grind "content" is disingenuous
who made this 💀
wrong @
this some funny stuff
quiet vault
Calling a grind "content" is disingenuous
ye the stuff you can get for grinding may be or?
severe compass
Like some people yeah, will master a hero to a ridonculus degree, to the point that they can goomba stomp on everyone else playing as gnomey homey, the booger firing gnome. That doesn't mean that gnomey is a good character, it just means that whoever plays him is a player of great skill just having fun
quiet vault
ye but it's much more subtle
vapid lintel
ye the stuff you can get for grinding may be or?
If it took 1 game to unlock or it took 100 games to unlock, would the experience after unlocking it be different?
quiet vault
yes
vapid lintel
Why?
severe compass
Toast: "All character are powerful"
Me: "Quite clearly the community isn't in the same boat, they even made this tier list clearly marking that on a level playing field, two players of similar skill level are expected to hold advantages with certain chracters"
Toast: "Pff, that tier list is all wrong, they ranked them weird."
quiet vault
The time spend unlocking it makes you appreciate it way more
severe compass

there just is no "the community"

i haven't found a matching word for them
rancid hearth
maybe shills
quiet vault
from my experience talking to many ow players, no one is that angry
severe compass
Bro out here really scraping the bottom of the barrel by argueing semantics instead of the point
Anecdotal
quiet vault
I dont know what group reviewbombs that much
severe compass
From my anecdotal experience you are wrong and I am right. Therefore making me the victor
quiet vault
if you can call them group
severe compass
How about "the Overwatch community"
seems to be a good way to sum up the angry people
I mean before you call me wrong, do remember you called the Overwatch Community toxic. So you already acknowledged they are a community of angry players having been denied promised content from a multibillion dollar company
quiet vault
I would have to analyze the parts of the ""community"" more, because the amount of negative to positive feedback does not match the normal responses overwatch2 gets
severe compass
Yes it does
severe compass
Source: the reviews
Xitter
Discord
Amazing sources my friend, and with no links. Definitely backs up your argument
quiet vault
can't compare it to the reviews itself
bro its not a source or anything
there is no real analytical data about all of that
im just sharing my experiences
severe compass
Ah I see
feral ferry
Are you children fighting about Overwatch?
severe compass
Yes
feral ferry
Let the stupid franchise die, we had enough of Tracer porn
Or whatever that healer chick was
severe compass
Sort of agreed
I just wish it was back to its glory days
feral ferry
there is no alternative
Technically
Valorant is more akin to OW than it is to CS:GO nowadays
severe compass
Like if OW never changed after adding Anna I would still be playing, sniper grandma was the best
quiet vault

There used to be some cool OW alternatives
Anyone remember Dirty Bomb?
Died pretty fast
Oh wait
severe compass
Wasn't there also Battleborn? I have no idea what that game was about, but OW killed it on release
feral ferry
It's still a thing lol, just nobody plays it https://store.steampowered.com/app/333930/Dirty_Bomb/
Ngl I just don't have much interest in these multiplayer shooters so I have no clue what comes out nowadays
severe compass
Games that tend to bomb because they spent 6 years planning how to monetize it rather then developing the game
So Bungie's Marathon everyone! Who's expecting that to collapse, because I AM!
quiet vault
idk never played the roleplay stuff
trim rock
Yo what
That's unexpected given how hostile they have been to some modding in the past
And guess this means we might get SixM pretty quick? 🤔
fallow bronze
i played gta5 online 2 times, it was very toxic
no funt o be had
maybe some roleplaying might make it better
feral ferry
isn't FiveM kinda hated lol
Five M afaik is where everyone goes for proper multiplayer
That isn't the shit MTX and griefer ridden hell that is GTA Online
trim rock
But do people use it for anything other than roleplay?
feral ferry
I honestly only know it cause of RP
I would assume there's things to do there
But it's popular cause all the bigshot youtubers/streamers just RP together
orchid prism
@wooden cloud "On Vacation" apparently doesn't mean much to you 😛
- Unbind WASD in Overwatch for movement.
- Force PC UI elements in Overwatch to avoid it flicking back and forth.
- Change to the profile in Wootility.
- ????
- Profit.
wooden cloud
Oh sorry, I missed that. My bad 😮
orchid prism
Double check these are applied as well.
wooden cloud
Yeah everything is checked
orchid prism
Then it should just work.
wooden cloud
In the test your binding window it does not show up as analog either
Do I have to activate it somehow?
orchid prism
If you're using the profile, keyboard keys are toggled on, and the DKS binds are there - it should work.
Can't help you if that isn't the case.
wooden cloud
Dang, that's too bad. Anyway sorry to ruin your vacation, I appreciate you taking the time to respond though! I am gonna keep playing around on my own to see if I can figure it out after all. Thanks again 🙂
trim rock
Wait, why DKS the left stick movement like that. Is that actually analog?
orchid prism
It's Analog AND keyboard. To allow you to chat type.
trim rock
Yes, but wouldn't you just use the normal gamepad mapping? And keyboards keys? Why is DKS used?
orchid prism
Because that's the only way to get both keyboard and analog keybinds on the same key.
trim rock
Weird, I do analog keys all the time with no DKS and I can type perfectly fine
orchid prism
Hm.
trim rock
Unless that's just a weird 60HE quirk?
orchid prism
Without DKS works as well with the toggle. Didn't use to.
Either way - My profile still works as uploaded 😄
trim rock
This is how I've always used analog ever since I got my W2 🤔
wooden cloud
Just not for me 😦

Was actually somewhat exciting, FO4 getting some love
And.. they forgot about it
No footage on it, no release date, nada

Well, I guess Starfield is the main thing for beth
wooden cloud
Hmmm I think analog just does not work for me at all
feral ferry
So, I'll continue to wait for FO4 next gen
trim rock
You should confirm in the gamepad response tab whethr it's doing anything there
orchid prism
Just booted up the game, and I can crawl walk in the training room just fine.
trim rock
If that's not working then yeah you got problems
wooden cloud
How do I do that?
orchid prism
feral ferry
Lol this game
This rare has a potentially better enchantment than my very rare
The conjuration spell is really useful so I don't want to just discount the infernal rapier
But just getting up to +20 damage per any melee weapon attack is ridiculous
Especially when Paladins can attack at least twice per turn, 3+ times with bonus
hot spire
This rare has a potentially better enchantment than my very rare
level 6 is the highest level magic in the game right now, and that sword can let ANYONE who wields it, cast it.
feral ferry
I am very aware how that works thanks
And yes it's a really good summon
But that damage increase assuming charisma is high could be really damn good
hot spire
also
feral ferry
Just to be clear though
hot spire
you have a cleric and pally?
feral ferry
Raphael, the devil, is a cambion right?
orchid prism
So... Lava elementals. How the hell do I stop them from healing every turn to full health? I've tried ice arrows, puddles of rain. Moving them out of the terrain magma. Nothing does the trick.
Is there any cheesy effects that stop healing, any healing?
small comet

Ahh the big lumping thing in the grymforge
orchid prism

Yes.
hot spire
Raphael, the devil, is a cambion right?
he is way higher level than that
feral ferry
So... Lava elementals. How the hell do I stop them from healing every turn to fu...
There are spells and arrows that prohibit healing
hot spire
cambion is half fiend
feral ferry
But I don't remember if they work on the elemental
orchid prism
There are spells and arrows that prohibit healing
Oh?
feral ferry
Elemental ONLY heals when in lava
orchid prism
Elemental ONLY heals when in lava
This guy makes his own lava sadly.
feral ferry
So you have to 1) Out-damage the restoration
hot spire
There are spells and arrows that prohibit healing
you need the hammer
feral ferry
- Get him out of lava
hot spire
with bone chill
orchid prism
you need the hammer
Not the boss, this is a regular one.
small comet
i feel like we need a dedicated baldursgate channel
hot spire
prevents healing for one turn on hit
feral ferry
You are talking about the elemental in the back of the adamantite forge right, Mansen?
orchid prism
Oh it's a SPELL
orchid prism
Guess I'll have to grab Gale for a quick application then.
hot spire
but there is a hammer that applies irt

I'll give that a try when I'm done taking apart IKEA furniture.

And then the fun dungeon boss, Grym after that. Someone sadly spoiled the mechanics by accidents, though I had a clue from all the drow scribbles dropped elsewhere.

i never used the hammer
took 2 turns to kill
feral ferry
The lava elemental only has 85 hp though, why are you having that hard of a time killing it?
orchid prism
I actually missed the forge altogether on my first playthrough - The area is so much larger than I thought.
hot spire
The lava elemental only has 85 hp though, why are you having that hard of a time...
full heal each turn
hot spire
but yeah 85 damage isnt a lot for a whole party in one turn
orchid prism
It is for mine 😄
hot spire
It is for mine 😄
git gud
feral ferry
If you have a level 4/5 party you can take him
orchid prism
I wouldn't be asking if I could 😄
I don't have enough nuke - most of my setup is AOE/DOT
hot spire
also in the under dark
there is the wizard tower
with the anti magic petals
keep those
in your camp storage
they cheese a lot of bosses lol
orchid prism
Ugh... no. That is just obvious cheese and such a chore to lug around.
feral ferry
I'd argue the double minotaur next to selunes temple in underdark is a lot harder than just a single elemental tbf
Or those annoying ass hook terrors
I hate hook terrors
hot spire
orchid prism
Neither of those heal back up, and I can dodge attacks. Also the temple kill them fast if you lute them in.
feral ferry
with the anti magic petals
Heh, I never thought about that you can just throw em at spellcasters
orchid prism
On a similar note - ||How the hell are you supposed to know about the petal generator at the very, very bottom of that tower? I spent WAY too long sneaking/dashing through that place blind. I feel like I missed some obvious lore scribble somewhere.||
It is so out of nowhere.

Not true. There's a quest leading you there from the Myconoids.
hot spire
mushroom jump is just perception
and the dead guy at the bottom has featherfall scroll
feral ferry
Not true. There's a quest leading you there from the Myconoids.
I don't remember one, and I did myconoids
Maybe I missed a quest or two
orchid prism
I don't remember one, and I did myconoids
The Half-Ogre's ... colleague will tell you to get some shrooms, both found at that tower.
orchid prism
and the dead guy at the bottom has featherfall scroll
And pointless to do, since you need to access it from the other side - unless you brought a mask.
orchid prism
Huh - I didn't get that opportunity.
hot spire
wizard tower gives you the dope staff if you are doing clreic+wizard

orchid prism
Gave druid a quick try last night. Really not feeling them.
Being able to turn into a rat and sneaking into places... great? But you can't bring people with you so not really that helpful in practice.
Also being limited to clubs and staves for Shillelagh is... a shame.

The problem I have with all that is... || You enter the tower from the front (no way to get in through the basement door as far as I could see, Druids maybe?), and you're greeted by guardian turrets shooting at you. They are damage resistant to everything short of explosives (which is a rarity in the game), and there are none of these petals anywhere in the tower until you reach the very bottom)
Password? For turrets? there's a console? I had to bruteforce this by having my rogue dash and hide through the entire thing front door to bottom, saw the petals and figured there was an engine of some kind... and then the turrets TURNS OFF, as you POWER ON the tower. Completely stumbled on the solution. I was ready to just loot it while avoiding the turrets, since I couldn't blow them all up||

You can totally get in ||the back door by jumping around the cliffs behind the turrets and unlocking it with a rouge|| and they're not resistant to everything ||my cleric with radiant damage could make quick work of them||
I have a really nasty habit in games like this of seeing the "right" path to approach something, and then doing everything I can to not take that path but instead explore other ways
vapid lintel
You can skip almost everything
Why on earth would you speed run a game like this? 😂
orchid prism
Radiant beats Sturdy? Interesting. I shall have to try alternate routes to see if I missed something obvious, like a note or something. Because my experience felt very... bruteforce and unintended (which is a rarity in the game - Always an alternate route you're hinted at I feel like)
Speaking of... I need to do the evil conclusion to the druid grove at least once. I keep forgetting it's an option 😄

@hot spire || I went around the audience chamber during the inauguration so I didn't activate the cutscene of confrontation, positioned a wizard at the very top of the castle and they can't get to me, so I yeeted off Gortash off the castle with telekinesis, nobody died. That won't break the game, right?||
I have not even entered the upper city once yet
fading spade
so AAA game devs say baldurs gate is AAA but not to expect it to be the standard
BG3 too good for AAA
its now AAAA
new rank just for this game
feral ferry
its now AAAA
BG3 is nowhere near that level
When you really grasp the design of BG3
There isn't actually that much to do
Like, less than what a game like GTA V would have
But the amount of time it takes you to do those things, cause the game is actually fairly slow paced, is what "inflates" the experience and makes it feel more full
It's a big game though, not saying it's not
But not as big as some other games, but the gameplay direction is what really helps it
Honestly, a top candidate for GOTY this year
Going to be between this and Starfield, if that game doesn't suck
feral ferry
Ah yeah my game is a bit fucked now
Should not have done what I did
Everyone is hostile

Word of advice
The game doesn't do well with having fun
If you don't do what it says, it will get very angy
glacial linden
Just realised they made dos2
hot spire
Just realised they made dos2
Lmao
feral ferry
Yeah the sequencing in BG3 is really weird
If you discover things too early, even though you entirely can without game prompting you to do so, it'll kinda break itself
hot spire
Not really

Well let's just say I can't talk to ||lord Ulder|| at all now

Ngl the fact that ||with dark urge origin you are a bhaalspawn that's pretty fun||

Not really XD
Well that's the thing I'm kinda realising, nothing is really a massive challenge
hot spire
There is an achievement for making the fight harder for yourself and we got it the first time
With no one going below 50% Hit points
Also if you get a quest to visit Raphael in his home you should really do it
It's a very cozy home
feral ferry
Yeah I just got to upper city
Had to cast invisibility and sneak through the wyrmcastle or whatever its name is
Cause everything was hostile on sight
But yeah now I got to upper city, lots more things to do
hot spire
We finished it last night. 65 hours
feral ferry
Kind of interested in a "god" playthrough where the character is absolutely broken
And would go about annihilating everything
Dunno how the game would cope with absolutely everyone being dead
hot spire
there is a mod for that
it gives you nutzo items
or get one of the level 20 mods and fastlane your exp on the ship at start

I saw the one that gets you to level 20 fast
Didn't see one with OP items
There were some cool spell and clothing mods though

hot spire
im playing on ultra
1080ti sli at 5400x1920
my issue is
after about 4-5 hours
it hits ~30GB of ram
and lags horribly
feral ferry
I heard that the slow HDD mode supposedly improves performance
It hoards more textures into the RAM, could be a good option if you do have a good SSD but still want to get better perf
still spire
Yeah
feral ferry
I wonder why this title doesn't support FSR2
DLAA is a thing, not sure about DLSS
But only FSR? Disappointing
feral ferry
Though I do have FSR enabled, no real visual degradation for just free frames
hot spire
i have 5x1 4k screens
and run them at 1080p scaled up in a lot of games
but this didnt so i had to run the whole game lower res
feral ferry
I think what people completely fail to realize with upscaling is that
feral ferry
The "comparison" videos are not gameplay
If you are running FSR you will never notice it running
hot spire
yeah
feral ferry
Like, it's really damn nice to be able to get extra frames just with a flick of a button
feral ferry
Actually now I'm not sure
I'm on ultra quality setting
Maybe I should drop down on quality
Ah
So, later
hot spire
feral ferry
Oh that's damn annoying
FSR2 can be enabled via mods
But you HAVE to run game in Vulkan
feral ferry
And my game is unplayable in Vulkan, shit ton of flickering, bad performance all across the board
Gon stay with dx11
fading spade
D
its from 1995, damn!
Since im playing on a "Special" playstation, I can save the game
:') TIL she had a modded PS1
or she just means emulator, idk
fading spade
is there a mod to enable that?
orchid prism
I assume we're talking savestates here, not saving within a game.
This is something all emulators can do.
fading spade
I know emulators can, but can a modded ps1 do it too?
orchid prism
PS1 doesn't have anything like that in software.
.
No console has that in fact - Outside of emulating older generations.
fading spade
interesting, thought someone would have made a hack or mod for that
fading spade
IDK, hardware mods are common on consoles
orchid prism
Not like these.
And there's no OS to tap into.
Dashboard operating systems weren't a thing until the 360/PS3.
You didn't launch games from a dashboard. You powered the console on INTO a game.
fading spade
fair point
if you like fast paced games, D is not for you, D is not D one
ffs Minx :')
game requires 3 discs!
wait then how does it transfer data between the discs???
cause the game is on a time limit, how do the other discs know what time you have left?
feral ferry
Ok I don't have a problem with it assuming you just play with it
But please don't do anything sus
... they will do something horrible innit
feral ferry
Like 2
static island
which 1s
feral ferry
More spells and no-rest
static island
gonna take a look at them
static island
facts
feral ferry
But other than that disabling resting is.. kind of a double edged sword
On one side, you become incredibly overpowered
Cause you can just spam heal spells, any combat spells, etc
feral ferry
But then you get QoL
feral ferry
what's the exact name for the no rest one
Action resources
static island
oh okay yeah
feral ferry
static island
i see why it'd be a bit game breaking
feral ferry
It kinda doesn't work like that
It replenishes ALL the time out of combat
So you can spam the spells as much as you want
static island
yeah those are only spammable if you have cheats on
feral ferry
So you can only spam what the character has learnt
feral ferry
are you playing on tactician to make up for that
Nah I have no interest in that
static island
LOL
I'm just having a God-like run to enjoy story

Why would I think EA is early access when in the context of a game launcher?
when EA is literally a launcher also
feral ferry
What game launcher
fading spade
EA Launcher
feral ferry
The talk was about Baldur's Gate
fading spade
yeah

A game that has nothing to do with Electronic Arts
Where on earth did you make the correlation, I will never know

The use of "on" tripped me up

tired knoll
I miss borderlands
feral ferry
Ah
tired knoll
What happened
feral ferry
More bots, wonderful
tired knoll
It wasn’t, it was great
feral ferry
It wasn’t, it was great
It's a complete and utter shite franchise
Borderlands tried so hard, and failed on all fronts
It was never funny
Nor it was ever a good shooter
Colour palette to me at least is disgusting as well, aesthetically it's horrible
A horrendously overrated franchise
I'd rather play that Bethesda game that nobody ever talks about
Rage was it called?
Rage 2
I got bored of Rage 2 fast af, not as fast as Borderlands 2
I am not going to speak any ill will considering how many people love Doom and Doom Eternal
Just going to say, I don't see the interest in linear gameplay where the whole point is fighting the same exact enemies over and over and over again
Maybe it's just a franchise for anger management
At which point all the more power to you I guess
Randy Pitchford never came across as a good guy
Seems like your typical selfish ass millionaire
feral ferry
What
So, basically
The more you pay for a Sony subscription, the more of a demo you get
pure bear
feral ferry
Pretty sure it isn't
They have been trying to price GP up, then realize people just leave
So they fall back on the "trial" offer
Then slice the duration of trial in half
Idk how they'll make it work
ngl the love for this game is getting a bit irritating
It has a lot of issues, we should highlight those too
hot spire
i mean
its the best game ive played in a long time
which is amazing for larian
sad for everyone else
feral ferry
I have a bunch of issues with the game
But I can't disagree that it's great
Namely the camera
hot spire
yes
feral ferry
From what I read the camera is unchanged throughout most of their games
hot spire
camera fucking sucks with you have tons of mvoment and jump
feral ferry
And it's horrible
hot spire
or fly/levitate
feral ferry
Not really sure why they couldn't change the camera if people have reported horrible camera control from Divinity OS2 era
Maybe it's just so hard-baked into the engine that it's too difficult or something
hot spire
how is that gaming lol

I don’t have the attention span for story in games
glacial linden
It’s not really fair to say that doom is just fighting the same enemies over and over again. You have to constantly juggle your resources and switch between multiples weapons that counter specific enemies all the while constantly moving around.
feral ferry
So, linear gameplay where you fight the same enemies all over again
glacial linden
💀
feral ferry
If anything you literally agreed yourself
"Not really fair to say that doom is fighting same enemies" and you go on to not verify your own argument
glacial linden
I mean when you’re fighting like 50 enemies at the same time coming from you at all directions, you’re not really thinking like “I’ve seen that guy before”. And like if doom had like 400 enemy types, you wouldn’t be able to predict and remember how to counter each one
Also you should watch the video about ultra kill. Like if these games had one weapon and one way to play the game I would understand
Yeah. Like tbh I liked 2016 a bit more than eternal. But both still had that frantic pace of combat
@flat frost Have you played ultrakill yet?
feral ferry
I have never touched Doom as a franchise
Not the 90s games, not the new ones
Not interesting
glacial linden
That’s fair if the genre doesn’t appeal to you
feral ferry
I have never played Quake or Unreal Tournament either
The whole "arena shooter" thing is just meh
I prefer roleplaying, RPGs and adventures
Also simulators
glacial linden
Yeah that’s valid

It's been like 15 years since I played the first one

What would you call games in which your decision making affects the outcome of the games
feral ferry
Player choice-dependant?
feral ferry
There are 2 ways of making a game
- Where the player choice impacts how you get to the end result, but the path remains linear and the same
- Where player choice actually takes you to a completely unique playthrough each time
Number 2 does not, afaik, exist at all yet
The resources required to make such a game would be tenfold higher than making a normal one
tired knoll

What’s that one horror game called
feral ferry
There are many
Few spring to mind
Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Evil Dead
Usually it's a linear game disguised with choice
Like Cyberpunk, regardless of your choices you end up in the same place
You just get a different ending cinematic
Or really with Baldur's Gate 3, regardless of your choices, you will still end up progressing through the same regions whatever your playstyle is
Choice really is an illusion
The only way to carve a truly unique narrative experience is to go play a multiplayer game
Or the predecessor Until Dawn
All of which are linear
tired knoll
Until Dawn!!!
feral ferry
Not really enough to make a game where choices matter enough
It will still end up playing the same
House -> forest -> mines -> mental asylum -> house
tired knoll
Nice spoilers bro
tired knoll
Too many classics i missed out on
feral ferry
Yeah it was good for a playthrough
But replayability is really amiss in most games
How do you bridge the gap between the replayability of multiplayer shooters, something sand-boxy and open-ended like arma, stalker, gmod and such, and linear like silent hill
Cause with CS:GO you just always end up queuing for same gameplay yet it doesn't tire out cause it plays out differently, and it's multiplayer
With sandboxes it's always different as well, cause you make your own story/play someone else's but this time it's singleplayer
So how do you make it into an RPG/story game, where replayability is infinite?
tired knoll
That’s why DayZ holds a soft spot in my heart

HL Overcharged is genuinely incredible
Because the chaos that ensues is just beyond fun
You can duel wield guns, have a kick button, I think they even added sliding?

But does it have the PSP that launches explosive UMDs?
feral ferry
He hated it at the time cause it was a bit broken and it just launched
They ironed it out quite a bit since then
But the chaos is still there and DAMN IT'S FUN
It kinda makes the game into DOOM
Oh and yeah overcharged includes all the missing enemies that never came with full release
There was a demo where Valve was showcasing this weird tentacle thing way before HL2 launched
Obviously wasn't in release, but the modders recreated it
