nah, worst aesthetic decision a character makes in the game. we kill celestials for those bangs

homegirl just one day starts dressing and dyes her hair to resemble her anathema religion’s clergy and doesn’t even know why

chuckleslord,

Uhhh, when she gets this haircut she’d had a conversation with Selune the night before. So, uh, I’m pretty sure she knows why.

Not really.

You have realize COVID basically screwed ps5 for 2-3 years. The system is 5 years old, but effectively was only available since '23.

luipaard0011,

And a PS6 is around the corner, isn’t it?

Baggie,

I would be surprised honestly. Technology has stalled pretty hard, tariffs and hardware is not in a great spot, PS5 still looks great and honestly there’s not going to be much to sell a customer base. I could see them doing it, but it might be wiser to kick it down the road for a few years until things get a bit better, like they did with the PS3 and 360.

She can be fixed? I’ve never let her live very long. I’m always so annoyed by her bigotry by the time the choice comes up that I happily let her die and have Withers make me a better cleric if I need it. I guess next playthrough I’ll leave Lae’zel in her cage so I can give Shadowheart a fair chance.

Atomic,

Hold on… You think shadowhearts bigotry is too much but you can tolerate Lae’zel? The girl who take every oppertunity possible to let everyone know how primitive, uneducated, and stupid they are compared to gith.

Anyhow, Shadowheart can go either way in terms of dark vs light. It’s up to you. I think she has the most character development of any origin character, if you let her.

Don’t quote me. But I think shadowheart will, on her own, make a pivitol choice regarding nightsong, depending on your choices leading up to it. If you try to do good. She will choose light on her own. If you do evil things, she will choose dark. You can manually steer her towards that decision. But if you leave it up to her. It will be a reflection of your choices so far.

SirDankbud,

Yeah Lae’zel doesn’t attack or kill solely based on race. Every character in the game is racist to some extent, I have always drawn the line at violence. Lae’zel also grows a lot and tones down the rhetoric depending on how you play. If you have sex with her and expose the evils of the Gith queen, she clearly sees the error of her ways. Now I admit I haven’t tried this so maybe someone here can enlighten me, but it feels like the same wouldn’t be true if I started as a gith and tried to fuck Shadowheart.

I guess it just boils down to the fact that I strongly believe rascists who only talk hate can be redeemed and talked out of it, while violent ones usually can’t.

You have convinced me to give her a chance next time so thank you for that. Lae’zel will stay in her cage on my fifth playthrough this winter.

swab148,

You can also defuse their situation and have them both coexist, if that be your fancy

just build the most mundane things with our creativity. It always felt so amazing even when the builds were so poor in quality.

I feel this. Nowadays I don’t enjoy building anymore, because I have too high a standard for block palettes and shapes and where things should go and stuff like that. No more square houses built entirely out of diamond blocks and obsidian. No more random japanese pagodas in the middle of my base. No more bulbasaur pixel art. Now it’s way more stressful and less fun I guess. And I even if I can have fun building a single base, I never have the motivation to build anything beyond that, because there’s just too much effort, motivation, and planning required.

I remember one day watching a small youtuber, who I can’t remember right now unfortunately, building a river that passed through a giant rainbow out of wool smack dab in the middle of their base. They talked about how they intentionally stopped trying to build pretty and logical things and just decided to have fun. It was really inspiring and nostalgic to see. So I do that too when I play now, and honestly, it’s actually harder than building “good” looking things. But it’s fun.

Part 1 or the second one? I’m wondering where you encountered the Cactaur. I wanna smack one around.

Goddamn that Deus Ex remaster is ugly as fuck.

@simple@piefed.social avatar

It looks more like an upscale than a full remaster, but it can definitely look better yea

@Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com avatar

it’s SO bad, I don’t see any reason for it to exist when the game already plays great on PC (with the Vanilla Fixer), and it also runs on PS5 with the PS2 version

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a remaster that looks this much worse than the original

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

The PS2 version is surely severely compromised compared to the PC version. Even the sequel designed with the Xbox in mind had to cut back on a lot of things to make it fit on a more powerful console.

Die4Ever,
@Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com avatar

yea the PS2 version is bad, but this kinda looks worse lol

@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

A remaster like this is pointless in the first place, it’s not meaningfully doing anything to make people play it who wouldn’t otherwise. A proper Nightdive-style remake is what the game deserves.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Controls improvements alone are low-hanging fruit for Deus Ex.

Coelacanth,
@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

I guess that’s probably fair. I never had huge issues with them but it’s been a hot minute since I last played through.

Zoomboingding,
@Zoomboingding@lemmy.world avatar

The remaster should do more than a fan mod though

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

The fan mods aren’t exactly accessible to PlayStation players. What would you want to see in a Deus Ex remaster that a mod couldn’t do? Mods are capable of a great deal, but there’s a lot of value to having things preconfigured to modern standards out of the box.

Zoomboingding,
@Zoomboingding@lemmy.world avatar

I mean, some production value beyond upscaling would be a start. Deus Ex isn’t some forgotten brand, it definitely warrants something like the System Shock remakes. High poly models, remastered animations, and modern lighting effects would be a reason to actually purchase this over the original.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

They did redo the models and lighting effects; I can’t speak to the animations.

I’ve never played the original. But the remaster has me tempted. Idk, it looks good to me.

Supergiant always kills it. It’s definitely still hades but feels different enough, adds a shit load more than expected, and has been a pretty wonderful time. Looking forward to the last bits of story and polish.

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed still holds up as, in my opinion, the best kart-racing game out there, for sure beating out all of the Mario Karts. Got high hopes for Sonic Racing Crossworlds.

Similarly, very much looking forward to Palfarm, assuming it’s real (which it seems to be). Fuck Nintendo.

I played the demo for Crossworlds and it holds its own very well. I’m not sure I want to drop 70 big ones on it though…

I’d play old Nintendo games, because you actually owned them without question. Modern Nintendo… you need to use a net to catch them and own them yourself (If you know what I’m talking about, you know). I’ve not played Sonic Racing Crossworlds yet, but I wouldn’t mind trying it soon (it might be better than Team Sonic Racing, which I’ve played on PS4).

True, I think I’ve played more Mass effect on my PS5 than PS5 games. I assume it is leading faster at least… not a good investment. I should have stuck with my PS4 Pro.

Palfarm’s promo video is very elaborate for a joke. I think it might actually be legit.

chunes, do games w Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?

I’m replaying Shogun Showdown. It’s my favorite turn-based roguelite. It turns out that a one-dimensional game can be incredibly tactical and engaging. I also appreciate that it’s not ultra difficult like turn-based games have a tendency of being. The difficulty feels nice to me.
