I played Skyrim and found an exploit to increase speech to 100. I just had to cancel the conversation at a certain place and restart it.
I did that for hours instead of just typing a console command. “Can’t have cheating!” 😅 Don’t bother with the fact that the end result is exactly the same, and it’s still a form of cheating.
Glitches and exploiting them is one of the fun of gaming. Especially when it’s a glitch that’s been around for 13 years because the gsme studio is incompetent. At that point it’s just a game mechanic.
On the + side, this keep HDD sales up, which would otherwise have dropped low enough for most consumer facing markets to shut down long before the rise of home made NAS devices
to be fair, the 4k textures etc take up most of the space in large 3d games. valheim has a low poly and low quality textures style with a lot of repeats. it only looks good thanks to lighting.
with such a design choice you have an unfair advantage over photorealism and large variety.
we should however compare different games of the same style. did they use the 8k ulta detailed Hamburger models or did they actually think about Ressource and space management ?
It’s also, as tons of people have said about the Arkham series, about art style. The Valheim style looks really good because they have incredible artists working on the game.
Just like Arkham Knight is still one of the best looking games I’ve ever seen even though it’s almost 9 years old, Valheim will still probably look just as good the same amount of time later.
I agree. We’re not the first ones to point it out, but theres a strong argument to be made for graphical style over graphical fidelity. Working to achieve a particular stylised choice tends to give a visual medium greater longevity.
There’s a reason why people remember details about Jurassic Park over something like Avatar; or Star Fox over the latest Call of Duty.
Technology has made some things look better over the years, but the things that really get remembered visually are the style choices.
Just because one game takes up a quarter of your hard drive doesn’t make it more impressive than a sub 1 GB game.
One time playing this game, as soon as the meeting aborted, yellow started following me. I tried to head to a task location, staying outside of their range, and they were clearly targeting me. I quickly managed to loop back around them and hit the emergency meeting button, explaining they had followed me. I got them voted out.
I really wish Sony would give it another go. I know we got Sackboy a big adventure, But it feels like Little Big Planet itself has just been left in a ditch to die after 3
