i love how terraria is the 7th best selling game ever and they are just chill with everyone.

i adore the dedication to fun. they just keep rollin.

colderr,

Re-Logic is just chill overall. Barely any drama and they respect their players. Which I love!

sunflowercowboy,

Red making the best Mario fan game is just a weird factoid.

chiliedogg,

My understanding is they keep adding features even though they’re supposed to be done because they still play the game constantly themselves and end up wanting more content.

@Nima@leminal.space avatar

its true. the biggest terraria fans are the devs.

chiliedogg,

If you do what you love, you’ll be constantly working the rest of your life.

TriflingToad,

I know this is probably isn’t true but it’s my head cannon that they’re just really afraid to put out a “state of the game [month]” posts without anything in it

The Total War series, I have 300+ hours on Shogun 2, Rome 2, Empire, and Warhammer 2 each. Almost 100+ on most others. Probably have 1000+ hours on League of Legends too.

Is Palworld still a janky mess?

I think that’s a fair question given how it initially launched.

I’m no longer falling through the map. I can’t remember the last time that happened (except for the early days of the game).

I’ve only seen other players joining my world getting stuck inside of rocks when they initially spawn in, but you can just get out by spawning a pal that you can mount right next to the rock that you’re stuck in. Edit: Note: This bug is rare and doesn’t happen often anymore.

Thanks for the answer. How are other elements in the game?

I wanted to get Palworld until I saw a friend play it near launch. I held off of buying it for these reasons:

  • Bad pathfinding with enemies and allies getting stuck or easily confused by terrain objects.
  • “Dumb”/static enemy AI behaviour, such as just standing and doing its basic attack animation.
  • Character clipping issues with player structures.
  • Occasional really weird physics issues.

Good they fixed the map falling issue, though.

  • Pathfinding still sucks and people abuse that for bosses, building walls or whatever to glitch them. The good-ish is that this has been mostly fixed for base working pals, they’ll either work in place or teleport to the thing where they’re supposed to work. Sometimes they may still drop “inside” foundations, so you gotta remove/add them again from the base bench.
  • Enemy AI still sucks - same applies for your combat pals’ AI. Attack, wait, maybe move a bit, repeat. They don’t dodge or attempt to move except when positioning for an attack.
  • Happens more often with online play. Playing offline is a lot more stable regarding clipping issues
  • I think those are mostly fixed

Guess I’ll have to wait till the game is a bit more cooked. Bummer. I hope they win this stupid lawsuit from Nintendo, because Palworld does have good potential.

Bad Pathfinding:

  • Allies: aren’t getting stuck anywhere near as often at my base compared to what they were doing near launch. I haven’t noticed it recently, but they likely still get stuck depending on how complicated your base gets. Beyond that, any pathfinding is fairly basic, they’re not smart about it.
  • Enemies: I’ve seen them navigate through trees and up simple mountain trails when they’re running away from me. And if you attack them, and hide up on a nearby cliffside they usually just get stuck at the cliffside below you trying to walk into the wall.

Dumb/Static enemy behaviour:
Yeah this is still very basic. They usually stay in the same place unless they are running away, chasing you, switching targets, or using an ability that forces them to move. It’s trivial to just hide behind a tree or a boulder and attack them until their health is low enough to catch. They won’t actively try to adjust their angle of attack to compensate for objects between you and them.

Character clipping issues:
The only player structure I still have clipping issues with is one structure meant for increasing your storage/showing off pals at your base. Even then I only saw one player get stuck in it once recently. But he was probably jumping around on top of it for that to happen. It’s rare to see issues at the level we saw at launch.

Really weird physics issues:
The one I can remember off the top of my head was where an attack could launch a character up into the stratosphere and then they would fall and instantly die when they finally hit the ground. I haven’t seen anything like that in months.

I don’t play either of these games.

This post made me happy.

“Had to be me.”

Also, there was a Warhammer RTS that had “AHH my spleen!!!” Which I never got over.

sunbytes,

Warhammer Rogue trader has one character laugh and shout “haha! Reduced to dust” on a kill.

Mine is not dissimilar and it runs BG3 on low settings.

simple,

What specs do you have? A laptop with an i5 10th gen CPU would definitely not be able to run BG3. My older laptop with a GTX 1060 would barely run it over 40fps lowest settings.

It’s a surface book 3. I’m out of office at the moment so the comparison is from memory alone, sorry if I was significantly off.

Further wrinkle: I run it from an external SSD.

Over time: probably Contra on the NES, Tetris and Bionic Commando on the GameBoy, Operation Wolf and Sinistar in the arcade. DOOM, Duke3d, and XEvil on the PC. CS 1.6 and CS:S in college. The Gears series on the 360.

Then I had a decade or so gaming drought. More recently: Batsugun, Ketsui (Deathtiny and Death Label), Danmaku Unlimited 3, and Battlefield 2042.

My laptop is WAY WORSE than yours and I could play Fallout: New Vegas with ease.

Edit: I didn’t read the RPG part 😅

5 years is a reasonable age but you’ll need to post your full specs.

Thanks, edited it into the post.
