They wear NODs if you attack at night too much, and wear helmets and body armor if you shoot them too much.
crystal forum
hai stigh
opaque coyote
using the rat swarm will never be not the good thing to do
Possession is close though.
summer mural
They wear NODs if you attack at night too much, and wear helmets and body armor ...
its not just that, like if you make silly noises like opening doors quickly, guards do react
opaque coyote
Also something that I appreciate with Dishonored and Dishonored 2 is that low Chaos and High Chaos actually change the difficulty
summer mural
and missions evolve over time, you can do whatever and everything has a reaction
crystal forum
ok but it's a nintendo game
opaque coyote
Just more difficult
crystal forum
and i dont own a bag of money
opaque coyote
While Low Chaos keeps things mellow
As a sort of reward for keeping things peaceful
Which I like
sour hornet
do you actually attack with rats in dishonored?
crystal forum
you literally spawn swarms of rats
static wren
you summon them
opaque coyote
I LOVE DIFFICULTY THAT ISN'T JUST ENEMY HP
crystal forum
and unleash them upon your enemies
opaque coyote
and unleash them upon your enemies
eats the corpses within seconds
crystal forum
and the rats will eat bodies
opaque coyote
only leaves chunks of meat
spring cairn
do you actually attack with rats in dishonored?
yes

dishonored 1 has so much going for it , like I will literally never forget seeing the dead whale upclose for the first time in the slaughterhouse
opaque coyote
Literal fucking rat attack istg
Also some other powers include
- Possession
- Teleportation
- Slowing down time
That type of shit
summer mural
also being able to play as fucking duad in the dlc was awesome
opaque coyote
You can do some funny things
static wren
damn I never used rat swarm in the second one, too busy becoming a 5 fps shadow monster 😔
crystal forum
dishonored is more of a puzzle game than stealth
opaque coyote
I once slowed down time, shot a bullet, possessed somebody to walk in front my bullet, exited their body.
And watched as their head turned into chunks
summer mural
rip prey
crystal forum
prey maybe not
crystal forum
the original prey was an actual IP that they took from the dead
spring cairn
with 2 bangers
crystal forum
they could do it to the newer prey

both the games will forever be good and that's that
summer mural
well, its true that any dishonored sequel will probably never top 1, its the perfect game
crystal forum
they have achieved peak
opaque coyote
It is peak.

But also I usually just kill her on low chaos tbh
If I'm not doing full pacifist I just shoot her

that's comforting

i wonder how that went

it's like in bioshock infinite
If there is one gaming hot take I have.
I don't know why people like Bioshock Infinite
crystal forum
it's like finding the pope with a praise satan t shirt
same brother
i fucking hate the story
well at least when they start explaining it
opaque coyote
i fucking hate the story
literally zero consequences because of the universe jumping
btw
summer mural
i like bioshock infinite for the gameplay, but i dont think its anywhere as good as 1 and 2
crystal forum
2 gets hated too much
opaque coyote
i like bioshock infinite for the gameplay, but i dont think its anywhere as good...
2 has the best gameplay in my opinion
crystal forum
1 does objectively have the best story
opaque coyote
2 gets hated too much
I really don't get why
spring cairn
2 is my fav who doesn't want to play as a diving suit
opaque coyote
The story isn't even bad
summer mural
bioshock interestingly, is decidely not dead
opaque coyote
It's good.
summer mural
and 4 is in work afaik
opaque coyote
Just not peak like 1's
crystal forum
i thought 2k retired it
how can they even continue the burial at sea dlc
the girl dies
spring cairn
summer mural
pretty sure they are developing bioshock 4 , unless 2k retired it recently
opaque coyote
how can they even continue the burial at sea dlc
I think the Burial at the Sea DLC might be an alternative timeline from 1 and 2>
crystal forum
dewit, very fucking cool name
opaque coyote
and she killed all booker dewits
Makes zero sense btw
summer mural
dewit if youd kindly
crystal forum
i used to use it in highschool essays

for my characters
opaque coyote
Unironically that part makes zero sense
If there is infinite universes
wouldn't it just create a single timeline where dewit died
by drowning
summer mural
opaque coyote
The Dewit's should still exist.
and therefore all the Elizabeth's
Why
Why the fuck did they act like it eliminated them all
crystal forum
https://www.ign.com/articles/bioshock-4-is-going-to-come-out-take-two-ceo-straus...

I fucking hate Infinite's story
crystal forum
also again the story literally has nowhere to go
summer mural
well its been in development hell, so thats not a good sign
opaque coyote
also again the story literally has nowhere to go
I mean I actually liked Columbina as a concept.
crystal forum
rapture is all dead
summer mural
also, even if the game is good, i doubt like 90% of videogames across time and space are going to top bioshock 1
opaque coyote
But the remnants of Columbina still exist?
It's...
God it's so fucking unnecessarily complicated
I hate it so much
crystal forum
the world just forgot there's a giant city in the clouds
also remember the fucking flashback
opaque coyote
the world just forgot there's a giant city in the clouds
It basically got wiped from existence because all the bookers died
I think???
opaque coyote
where the flying blimb apartments attack new york
Nah they're fucked lol
Blimp vs Jets
who wins?
Not the blimps
crystal forum
like we were actually supposed to take that seriously
opaque coyote
tbf that was yet another timeline.
crystal forum
also the game just becomes terrifying suddenly
opaque coyote
again zero consequences
opaque coyote
At least it has a good art style
I like all of the designs
I like Columbina
and how racist it is
and shit like that
...
that's it

bioshock as a series has great body horror
opaque coyote
That is indeed a W
crystal forum
like everybody does a double take on big daddies
"wait a minute, that doesnt look human"
opaque coyote
Like
I think Bioshock 2 has a good story. Just not god tier like 1's.
opaque coyote
Has a couple of flaws but I think it's actually just outright a better version of Infinite's on some level.
Daughter character that you can affect directly.
With your choices.
And your choices actually work.
crystal forum
i always wondered what delta looks like under the suit
spring cairn
horrible
summer mural
whats soma
crystal forum
did you know he was a captured freediver who found rapture
opaque coyote
Also the Little Sisters don't look like absolutely disgusting abominations.
EVEN AFTER THEY GET CURED.
spring cairn
S.O.M.A
crystal forum
and he was one of the first big daddies
spring cairn
play it
summer mural
i swear ive heard the name
opaque coyote
and he was one of the first big daddies
Definitely not even a person anymore
spring cairn
it's well known
crystal forum
burial at sea goes the most into detail about how big daddies are made
summer mural
he probably looks like a servitor
crystal forum
and yeah it's just fucked
opaque coyote
Like I'm half sure he's either embedded into the suit like Springtrap.
Or a skeleton.
spring cairn
not delta
opaque coyote
Or both.
spring cairn
he's part of the variants that aren't totally fused to their suits
opaque coyote
he's part of the variants that aren't totally fused to their suits
oh yeah true he does take off his helmet
...
spring cairn
like he dies eventually after taking the helm off but he can at least
spring cairn
the ones that entered production can't even take any part of the suit off
since it's their skin now
opaque coyote
Also
Big Sisters scare me.
You thought Big Daddy was bad?>
Don't fucking mess with the big sister
The game always warns you everytime one is coming.
summer mural
wheres the Skyrim sequel AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
crystal forum
nah delta is like fine
opaque coyote
wheres the Skyrim sequel AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Presumably the next game they're gonna develop
opaque coyote
nah delta is like fine
I mean the man shot himself and his corpse was brought back in a vita-chamber.
opaque coyote
I don't think Delta would look good
crystal forum
I mean the man shot himself and his corpse was brought back in a vita-chamber.
vita chamber is so fucking weird
it's never really expanded on in lore
opaque coyote
it's never really expanded on in lore
To be honest, I think it isn't meant to
Given that you always have the option to turn them off
Honestly I am genuinely unsure if they're fully canon
I just think they shouldn't have existed in the first place tbh
Just explain Delta coming back as him getting a shit ton of ADAM injected into him idk
or just not have him shoot himself and instead be put in a coma
opaque coyote
Definitely a case of writing dissonance.
opaque coyote
less 40k mutant
I can imagine cybernetics being in there
crystal forum
like i assume the head is chopped off and placed in front with the nerve endings still attacked to body
opaque coyote
Like more of a servitor type thing tbh
crystal forum
no cybernetics
more like 1930's medical experiments
like they'd chop a monkey's head off and try to sew it back on
opaque coyote
no cybernetics
I would imagine there would at least be wiring or metal plating to "attach" the body into the suit.
and keep it there
Like they just fucking nailed the arms onto it
slapped some plates on
called it a day
opaque coyote
i wish we knew
Tbh I think part of the horror is that we don't
Although it would be interesting if we could see
glimpses
Like you can destroy parts of their suit and see a bit.
crystal forum
like i said the closest we get is burial at sea
opaque coyote
But not too much to destroy the mystery
urban spire
big sisters are peak character design
you ever hear of these things called "woman"? well imagine if one was fucked up, wouldn't that be crazy
crystal forum
But not too much to destroy the mystery
we see empty suits and schematics of the doctor guy
and a lot of dead dogs
because like i said, 1930's
crystal forum
there's so damn many pieces of concept art about bioshock
it clearly took them so much work to get the setting right
opaque coyote
I like the details of the weird straps and stilts.
Because the canonical reason why you can't really kill the Little Sisters is due to their regeneration.
But they canonically can regenerate wrong. Like a bone can grow back in the wrong formation.
Which does happen IRL, but imagine it happening instantly.
Too bad, your leg is now backwards.
So I can imagine the stilts is to... "correct" that.
urban spire
leg braces
opaque coyote
And they definitely don't grow up properly.
urban spire
they used to make these things for people who got fucked up by polio
opaque coyote
leg braces
Also again, everytime they show up, they literally have a fucking warning.
crystal forum
opaque coyote
"BIG SISTER IS COMING. PREPARE YOUR ASS"
crystal forum
guys
urban spire
SO GLAD WE GOT RID OF THAT DISEASE AND WE'RE NEVER GONNA SEE LEG BRACES AGAIN

i think old diving suits are awesome

And everytime you fight them it's a struggle

Suspiciously Worm-Brained RFK:
urban spire
my gif is broken
crystal forum
can we just take a step back from bioshock and remember what it was like to see it as a kid
it's such a terrifying setting
urban spire
bioshock 1 doesn't really feel much like an imsim
crystal forum
i remember seeing a big daddy on the cover art when i was in a video rental store
it's so creative for a scary enemy
urban spire
i remember going nuts at that first trailer where a guy shoots bees out of his hands
crystal forum
the bees grossed me out lol
but yeah that ad is classic
remember when ads looked like 1000 times better than the game
urban spire
you mean literally right now?
the art of bullshit trailer never went away
they're just way better at making it look like gameplay now
crystal forum
i feel like these days ads use the in game engine more at least
back then ads were straight up animated or done with a developer engine
like that trailer clearly is not using the bioshock engine
where would they take bioshock next though unironically
urban spire
i think that's more because modern engines are better suited to just straight up making animation
crystal forum
i remember clearly that 2k said infinite would conclude the franchise
urban spire
oh just leave bioshock alone
crystal forum
and it was already getting old by that point
urban spire
i want new settings with new names, endlessly recycling old ip is getting so dull
crystal forum
especially bioshock
it was a self contained story in 1
2 expanded upon it which is ok
but they had to take infinite into a wild direction just to have anything
what's next? bioshock taking place in space?
underground?
urban spire
infinite was pretty to look at but there wasn't much else there, no substance
urban spire
crystal forum
then the whole revolution thing happened
which comes out of completely nowhere
like suddenly you're in the civil rights universe
urban spire
it's abrupt but i wouldn't say it comes out of nowhere
crystal forum
it would be good if that was what the game was about but it's just in the background
urban spire
racial tension is very clearly foreshadowed
crystal forum
it is yeah
but i meant the going to another universe part
like it doesnt actually happen, the uprising
urban spire
i think the universe hopping could have been good if the writers were competent
crystal forum
you just find yourself somewhere where it does
and there's a lot of good parts in infinite
like a LOT of super memorable parts
but it's just a bunch of cool moments glued together with pacing
there's no real substance
urban spire
yeah the lack of substance ruins the cool moments for me
i mean
the intro is cool and has something to say
in isolation that bit is good, the bit immediately after the lighthouse
but as soon as the player is allowed agency the game just falls to pieces
crystal forum
btw
amazing sound
apparently im not alone in thinking that this is the best "we're sinking" alarm i have ever heard
crystal forum
but as soon as the player is allowed agency the game just falls to pieces
do you remember the main menu intro
the one that would play if you stayed AFK too long
that shit slapped hard
urban spire
i do not
didn't own the game, played a friend's copy for a bit, watched the rest on youtube
crystal forum
this would play if you let the menu on for a bit
also before i go sleep, infinite had that thing where the initial trailer was super different from the end
i dont know many people who still care
but it did
just a completely different game
crowbab has a pretty famous video about it https://youtu.be/muJYTeQlvC4?si=xVTKA68PffCtDXPT
urban spire
never seen it before
shadow plover
it has done irreparable damage to video game criticism

crystal forum
idk wtf you're on about
he mostly does videos about new releases

people have completely forgotten what it's like to play a game where the devs cared
lofty mason
Why does this look like Necron tech
lofty mason
deathwatch use them
Are these scavenged from dead Necron soldiers or IoM traded for them? I know IoM has a very strict policy regarding xeno interactions, but I heard that they still participate in trading with them when necessary.
ornate estuary
also the possibility of rogue traders finding them and selling them
lofty mason
Necrons would explode before they "traded" anything with humans
Regarding this topic, what xeno race IoM constantly trade goods with?
storm jungle
Regarding this topic, what xeno race IoM constantly trade goods with?
Barely any.

The ImperiuM's policy is to kill all aliens
the ones that trade are like merchants/rogue traders doing illegal stuff

I really liked his Back 4 Blood video considering the entire thing was pretty much on point on why the game sucked. Then I offhandedly months later see his Dead Rising remake slander vid and its just complaining about shit like "They removed the ability to take pantyshots of female characters woke game"
storm jungle
Im glad my only exposure to him was that video
because all the others are just bad lol
shadow plover
Like he does make very easy subject videos like B4B, like no shit it has problems
but most of his shit is pointless pandering to crybabies about old good new bad

i know, i played it lol
lofty mason
Inquisitor lore is quite interesting.
storm jungle
Can probably some Radical Inquisitor I assume.
Pretty much yeah
crystal forum
and like i said a bunch of his videos are just about dog shit modern games like back 4 blood, mass effect andromeda and cyberpunk
storm jungle
I still stand that Back 4 Blood deserved the slander
the others are just more incessant
the RES4 and Dead Rising 1 especially
crystal forum
like what a reason to hate on crowbab, his takes on remakes
ornate estuary
firebreak died in the same month it came out lol
shadow plover
the reason b4b failed so bad was mostly because it had such a high bar to live up to by being by the same people that did the original. If it had been by anyone new to the industry it wouldn't have gotten as much shit I feel

no he isnt

that was only in DS1

not in 1
crystal forum
yeah but 1 was made around the idea that he doesnt speak
you cant just copy paste the whole story and change some elements for fun
the only time he speaks is at the end

Yeah but hes been his own character for 2 decades now
making him speak also adds way more stuff to the game

Everyone in DS1 got a face uplift

we did get some plot details from the lead writers
storm jungle
since the devs said they planned everything out after DS1's success

it was supposed to be about isaac going around the galaxy in a ship
helping around and shit
and the game would be open world
earth definitely dead
but ofc none of this is 100% how it would come as a real product

Nah they were annoying as fuck

Milf is milf
So true

The only part that I was kinda confused about is how
Isaac had orangish hair?
crystal forum
remember the boom baby who crawls to the mother and they both blow up
opaque coyote
Maybe it's the lighting idk
opaque coyote
also DS2 had zombie children
Yeah that was actually fucked ngl
crystal forum
so based to see horrors games show children dying
opaque coyote
Rarely if ever horror games even tackle having children being the victim of horror
And dead space was like
"Nah they're fucking zombies have fun"
crystal forum
and god were they hard to fight
storm jungle
Yeah that was actually fucked ngl
the kindergarten is one of the best "worst" parts of the game
especially as you like
pickup notes and see that the children were developing "imaginary friends"

Honestly I think the most fucked up part about that is that you don't really know whether it's a hallucination
Or if some crazy person really did shove a baby into a washing machine

also they die

i love this scene so fucking much
the way the guy holding you just gets vaporized
and isaac is like woops

"Nah we arent mocking scientology"
It's similar to how GW was like "Trust me, we aren't parodying Margaret Thatcher. Ignore the very similar sounding name, Nick name, and even actions."

like isaac is just constantly fucking suffering during the entire dead space series

Like if there is one thing I do find entertaining in Dead Space 3, it's that Isaac is like that one scene in Spongebob.
Where Dutchman shape shifts into like several different horrific things and Spongebob is just bored.
crystal forum
he is very done by DS3 yeah

he's just like oh ok i guess im fighting again

i dont think it matters much now that earth is dead

in DS1 you just kick the marker back down the planet
in DS2 you kill one marker out of thousands

Dead Space 3 needs a remake the most

It's not even clear on whether the military fell or not in DS3

EA ruined the game

In the coop
Overall, I also don't like literally being locked out of like
Half the content if I don't have another person
crystal forum
it was EA's demands
because publishers can tell you to do whatever they want and if the product fails it's your fault
crystal forum
i heard that but the studio still really wants to keep going
opaque coyote
It didn't instantly become a 1000 morbillion sales

the studio that made dead space was created by EA, it was EA telling EA what to do lol
opaque coyote
i heard that but the studio still really wants to keep going
Yup
crystal forum
it's just currently locked on another game rn
we'll see
still though, the original DS writers are long gone

Either way, I think Dead Space 3 desperately needs a remake the most

Publisher giving orders isn't unheard of

is this really what we're focusing on now
opaque coyote
Either way, the devs were restricted by many mandates by the publisher
Also Ellie should at least have been the coop partner
I actually like Carver's character
celest dome
The lead devs of the Alice in Wonderland game want to make a sequel, but EA doesn't want to
crystal forum
damn that's one hell of a throwback
opaque coyote
Honestly I think if they ever do remake DS3, it should be similar to resident evil 2.
With a separate campaign for Ellie and Isaac. Maybe even the route A and B type mechanics

i gotta say i disagree with this, too many people use the word "graphics" as shorthand for how closely the game cleaves to realism and fail to understand that there is so much more to aesthetics. i firmly believe everyone who says they don't care about graphics has at least one beloved game with eh gameplay that looks gorgeous enough to make them experience real emotions

i've done that but this is mostly targeting games that just prioritize visual looks too much, way too much for ***** sake i have played skyrim and that game still looks relatively pretty
i am just tired of every single game being a graphical cluster fuck
queen laurel
look at hollow knight. damn.
What do you mean by that it looking confusing or all over the place?
summer mural
urban spire
What do you mean by that it looking confusing or all over the place?
no i mean it's fucking gorgeous without giving a shit about realism
summer mural
also drg has nice artstyle
urban spire
i believe the core issue is the relentless pursuit of realism as a substitute for having a real art style
queen laurel
no i mean it's fucking gorgeous without giving a shit about realism
that's just art style you know another game that looks good without being realistic?
queen laurel
music is a big part of it too of course
Here's another game where art style is so recognizable and good even if it's not realistic people love it, because of the way they built the world and the way they animated it has so much life people still to this day talk about its animations****
you can make a game look good without making its graphics looks like it runs on a quantum computer
But nowadays people keep chasing graphics like it's the one thing holding their game together
it gets tiring after a while
vagrant fox
Valheim can be straight up beautiful and it has like PS1 textures
urban spire
yeah i feel like we're on the same page here

i saw "jesper kyd" in the someone is typing bar and had a small heart attack for a second

anyway i feel like the right thing to do at this point is to simply ditch triple a entirely
it's extremely easy to do these of days, games are bigger and more expensive than ever

but like, good game like decade ago was something like 30gb , and thats a triple a graphically demanding game
they are casually running into 80 plus now

nah
its not gonna be
another reason hades is one of the greatest games ever made, the price
shadow plover
I hope to God dawn of war 4 is at the same price range as iron harvest
yeah very very unlikely, Iron Harvest was done in a much smaller budget and DoW is a sequel to a very popular series
urban spire
dow4 is gonna be like 120 dollars for the mud edition where you only get 30% of the game, and every time you boot it up it makes fun of you for being poor

ok i'm being needlessly pessimistic
For someone with a Sienna PFP you sure are significantly more pessimistic than her

you think GW will meddle with the pricing

it's on the EA's equivalent pass that's only EA games

i hope so

but visually speaking it still looks horrendous
not bad horrendous
Horrendous as in it looks so dark

funger 2 uses the implication to much better effect imo

that's honestly getting into total war warhammer 3 is a hobby in of itself
you have to buy so many things for the game it adds up quite quick
urban spire
you can't just buy the latest total warhammer, you gotta buy the first two games and tons of dlc for the first two games
queen laurel
you can't just buy the latest total warhammer, you gotta buy the first two games...
yep it's like a table top RPG where if you want to use something else you have to buy the supplementary book but there's like 20 supplementary books
on hindsight that's just a tabletop RPG

most ttrpgs are way more self contained

Say, in a hypothetical, the Imperium actually wins whatever war they're fighting in and humanity is the sole species in the Milky Way, will this lead to lead or we just going to start killing ourselves again for whatever reasons.

So I assume in this hypothetical all other Xenos are defeated, Chaos is defeated/sealed, the Warp is calm and there are no extragalactic threats
lofty mason
So I assume in this hypothetical all other Xenos are defeated, Chaos is defeated...
Ye, basically just human now.
rocky gale
They'd murder eachother
celest dome
There would be infighting, still. And on various levels, gangs wars still going on, various crusades on "sinners"...
timid solstice
Shit, the humans are still actively killing each other anyways. Necromunda is a good example of that.
rocky gale
The Imperium in it's current state is effectively reliant on having an enemy to fight, if there aren't any they will create one
celest dome
More human dies to the Imperium than anything
timid solstice
I don't there's a single faction that wouldn't have in fighting the moment they win. Shit, I bet the Tau would turn on the Kroot the moment they could.
storm jungle

The Imperium would just tear itself in another civil war.
humanity always needs an enemy to justify its aggression against, both IRL and in fiction
its kinda the doomer reality of things usually

jade holly
Dark Eldar never work with chaos, its literally their arch enemy
Damn so they’re like that for the love of the game?
storm jungle
Damn so they’re like that for the love of the game?
Yes but also to fill the soulthrist they experience from slaanesh ebbing away at their spirits since they wanna be raiding psychopaths instead of adopting the path system the Craftworld eldar use
near wasp
A dark eldar could just give up on there degenerate behavior and be a craftworlder theoretically
storm jungle
Pretty much, and some of them legit do since their way of life basically sucks, theres no point in it for the most part.
rocky gale
They can also become Ynnari to stop the soul thirst
storm jungle
Yeah that as well, no strings attached since they dont need a soulstone either
rocky gale
It's up to them whether they become better people when they do so
storm jungle
^
its kinda like asking a career criminal or some cartel guy today if they just wanna give up their life and "go honest".
Though in this case craftworld eldar life is very much more preferable

Drukhari doing the drukhari torture dance to chaos seems acceptable
