Maalus,

Where were you when British got kill

SplashJackson,

What any good citizen do and call “Guards! Hi vendor buy bank recdu recsu”

Maalus,

I loved these stupid binds. I was part of an RP server and each time I saw one my stomach churned. Lots of newbies talking up the big bad red in mystic armor, and the dude just ignores them, yells at the banker and fucks off with a Kal Ort Por. Better yet, a random blue casting a portal for a friend into the heart of Britt, the guy that’s running gets in and starts yelling his banker binds while standing on the other side of the portal. Baddies go through, suddenly lots of shit on the floor that you can grab since yoinking reds didn’t set crim.

Honestly I don’t even know what was modded / added in and what was in the actual game. Them going open source with Modain’s Legacy was such a boss move.

Fucking EA. Let’s hope the Ubisoft one is good. And gets finished.

It’s going to be Assassin’s Creed with lightsabers, probably. Potentially Far Cry with scifi weapons, like Blood Dragon.

Can’t say that I mind that.

60fpsrefugee,

Maybe a Ghost Recon / Rainbow 6 in star wars? Aka Republic Commando successor.

Republic Commando fucking rocked, that would kick ass.

KingThrillgore, do games w Xbox Next-Gen Console Confirmed, Will be 'Largest Technical Leap in a Hardware Generation'
@KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml avatar

The big 2 vendors jumped on the Raytracing bandwagon too early and it shows.

UsernameIsTooLon,

Ray tracing was the hot new buzzword after CP2077 showed off what consoles couldn’t at the time.

Unfortunately the tech didn’t even mature on PC yet, at least not without upscaling and now frame gen to help get it to more pleasing framerates.

retrovg,
@retrovg@cwb.social avatar

Ray tracing in this generation was a classical case of "biting more than you can chew". Huge distraction.

Carighan,
@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah I thought the same reading that.

Even in the very game, CP2077, as impressive as it can be, it can also be just as disappointing. It’s still a nice technical marvel, but it’s not at all the gamechanger it wanted to be.

And there’s games such as A Plague Tale Requiem where the baked lighting looks flat-out better in most scenes than the raytracing, since unlike the “realistic” raytracing they hand-crafted it to be unrealistic but fitting for the tone and atmosphere of the scene. So I turned it off again.

I’ll be honest, so far the only game where RT universally made me go “I’ll leave that on, that’s awesome!” is Riftbreaker. And it has a comparatively minor effect there, but at least a purely positive one (CP2077 I prefer at native rez over RT + DLSS which gets a weird pseudo-blur even with carefully tweaked resharpening, it’s just part of how it renders I think as other games don’t have this issue).

KingThrillgore,
@KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml avatar

And all for prettier shinies. No offense, but SSAO/Cubemaps are still damn pretty looking and cheaper in terms of resources. For me, 2077 still runs like ass with raytracing even today.

savvywolf, do gaming w Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Will Have a Character Voiced by Text-to-Speech at Launch - IGN
@savvywolf@pawb.social avatar

I’m reminded of old video games where they had the developers help out with the voice acting. Like, couldn’t you do this here? Just have someone who happens to have a high quality microphone do the lines? Maybe even pay a starving artist on one of those “voice acting for hire” sites?

I get that deadlines are usually way too tight on games, but this is just poor quality control. I guess that is the AAA games industry noways though.

They both deserve it, imo.
I hope there’s more CRPG goodness on the way, and I hope the next Zelda is another departure in a different direction.

SuperSaiyanSwag,

BoTW started something fresh and imo ToTK perfected it. It is my game of the year, but I hope the next game is a departure.

wren, do games w Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 5 Adds New Playable Epilogue With 3,589 Lines of Extra Dialogue, Much More
@wren@sopuli.xyz avatar

Im still trying to download the last update 😭

chaogomu,

I played a bit this morning. Accidentally broke my paladin's oath while trying to get more info from a bad guy I was planning to kill.

Killed them instantly after the conversation, but that conversation broke the oath. Shouldn't have bothered either. Didn't get anything new.

And now I won't be able to savescum/press on until tomorrow at the earliest due to download speeds. I'm also on linux, so I might have to wait even longer if this patch breaks things again.

And I had a few mods...

So maybe this time next week?

Diffuser5593,

Am on Fedora and have no issues playing on this new patch if that helps.

chaogomu,

It does.

Granted, the fix for the last patch was pretty simple. Just delete a single file and it works.

Steam might redownload that file, but who knows...

The joy of trying to run a windows only game on linux.

Diffuser5593,

Hmm so you had to delete a file from the last patch to get it to run on Linux? I definitely didn’t have to do anything like that, running proton experimental through Steam. Curious, but what distro are you on?

chaogomu,

I'm on an Arch based distro called Garuda.

This is where I found the fix.

https://www.protondb.com/app/1086940/

Got to love that site. Always good to know that I'm not alone in my random errors.

wren,
@wren@sopuli.xyz avatar

If I’m honest, I’ve not been able to play it… at all.

Mostly because the updates are multi gig downloads and I never leave my computer in an idle long enough to actually download them lol

But that sounds rough, I hope you’re able to salvage your Paladin’s reputation soon!

chaogomu,

To download the game in the first place, I had to leave my laptop running overnight. Twice.

It was rough.

As to my paladin... I'm torn. I hard saved as soon as I figured out that I had broken my oath, but I have a soft save just before it happened.

I might just press on.

I'm also playing this run as a "no illithiad powers" run. No mind control, no eating tadpoles. I'll see how long that lasts.

wren,
@wren@sopuli.xyz avatar

Oof.

I hope it works out!

chaogomu,

It should be fun a challenge, but maybe not as fun as my naked golden dragonborn monk.

At some point in the run, I just stopped and said, "fuck, I need to play this guy in tabletop game"

He has the shiniest golden scales beneath rippling muscle. He sees the physical form as perfection itself, perfection that is too godly for such window dressing as clothing. But for modesty's sake, he might be convinced to wear a schlong thong. If you ask nicely.

Hahhahaha I love it

In the lower city there is a clothing store. They sell an outfit called Angelic Scion. It’s basically a loin cloth and some gold arm bangles. Sounds like the perfect clothes for your golden god of fists.

Here is a screenshot of it on Astarion and Shadowheart

I’m glad I made sure to do a hard save before each important story moment, I have one right before the last boss dies so I should be able to jump right into the epilogue!

I miss Games like Starbound. So much to see and do. Unbelievable good atmospheric Music under a Sky full of Stars while building you first Base. This was one, if not the, first game to give me a feeling of smallness in comparison to the Universe.

applebusch,

I also loved starbound. My problem was the late game became very gamey, with the linear planet tier progression to get better materials. Once I got past the progression and beat the final boss there was nothing fun left to do, even with all the base building stuff they put in.

Roflmasterbigpimp,
@Roflmasterbigpimp@lemmy.world avatar

I really enjoyed these “Space-Dungeons” where you could Upgrade your Weapons at the End or get a Terraforming Device for an Emerald-Forrest Biome or something like that.

jomoo99,

There’s nothing wrong with a game ending at the final boss tbh

Jax,

Is Starbound really about the bosses, though?

I think Nintendo Kart would be a nice follow-up, with stuff from all of Nintendo’s IP.

mostNONheinous,

There are at least 10 non Mario characters in game aleeady.

samus12345,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, but it’s still 90% Mario. There’s a lot of new stuff they could introduce if they bring in not just new characters, but tracks, weapons, and mechanics themed on other IPs.

billiam0202,

Super Smash Kart?

samus12345,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

That works. Hell, you could even get non-Nintendo characters in there! Pac-Man has already ridden karts with Mario:
