secret300, do games w Lies of P is getting difficulty options to make the Soulslike more accessible

I hope it’s clear which option is the original difficulty. I plan on playing it and honestly I’m worried how they’ll implement it. Difficulty settings are great but hard to pull off

Better find a different term to use than “soulslike” if you’re removing and reducing the skill requirement.

Edit: I invite the doonvootern to comment and fight (Soulslike) instead of whining cowardly (easy mode, afraid of confrontationlike)

I might actually give this a try now!

I love me some ambience and story, but I’m not masochist enough to grind through a souls-like.

Bloodborne almost got me though

DragonTypeWyvern,

Bloodborne actually gets pretty easy once you understand the parry timing. If you ever feel brave enough to give it a shot, just focus on learning that mechanic and you’ll do well.

The dodging on this game was frustratingly buggy.

The visceral feeling of betrayal I felt coming to dark souls2 never really petered out

My favorite souls like… Excited for more content!

I might get this just to support that they’re doing this. Been abused by “git gud” bros and their gatekeeping for far too long when it comes to difficulty.

Game is too hard, so I want to beat the game at a more comfortable difficulty level. If I like the game enough, I will then try to beat it at the harder level. Why is this such an abominable concept to those people?

DragonTypeWyvern,

If, for example, the PSN store let you refund a game that you tried for a bit and gave up on I’d be more sympathetic to their argument, but it doesn’t. It, in fact, won’t let you refund a game you’ve only partially downloaded.

Justdaveisfine, do games w Peter Molyneux explains why his infamous Kinect game Project Milo was never released

Hardware being changed up makes sense. Feels funky that MS would pull a bait and switch for a game project, but its hard to say if that was MS or Molyneux being funky since they both have a history.

brsrklf,

Kinect being nerfed is something that was known.

The device was supposed to handle the movement analysis on its own with an internal processor, but they cut costs and had it processed by the console instead. Causing a lot of extra load on it, and because of that kinect games probably performed a lot worse than they could have, and were probably simplified quite a bit.

Stop Skeletons From Fighting has a good video about kinect : youtu.be/MmJ3LICVtsY

Of course, Molyneux is Molyneux, and just because of that, even with the superior kinect prototype, I’d call bullshit on almost all of the Milo demo.

it could be that he is a fucking liar.

The kinect was near useless but I had fun with it. At one point I set it up to control Kodi with hand gestures. It was clunky but kinda cool. Good times.

Squizzy,

I have one in the attic becuase I saw a cool project to do with a raspberry pi…then I realised im shit at that so there it sits

Yermaw,

Mine still exists for almost exactly the same reason. Its excellent tech and it can be used for great things. One day I’ll learn how to do stuff like that and then I’ll be as a god. I mean not today obviously I got stuff to do I’m a busy man, but one day. Probably. Its nice to dream.

nogooduser,

I really liked the potential of Kinect as the first one had some good stuff for it.

I liked the fitness and dancing apps, I thought the Forza Motorsport integration was very subtle but good for immersion and the voice control of Mass Effect 3 was also immersive.

They were all promising improvements that could have gone somewhere with the second version. But then they fucked it up and it went nowhere.

I liked almost everything made for it. Even the cute little game where you play with animals.

Knowing how actually amazing the sensor suite in the Kinect is: It is far from useless. It’s just far better utilized in avenues other than video gaming. lol

Though I hella would like one for VR, as it makes for an excellent FBT unit.

No idea why you’re so dismissive. Metroid Prime 4 with a proper mouse is a great outlook.

oddspinnaker,

This was actually my assumption for the mouse controller Nintendo showed.

The real feature is full pointer support! The built in mouse is a gimmick to introduce full pointer support.

lordnikon, do games w Switch 2 supports USB mouse controls, developer reveals

More support for all controls means better accessibility is always a good thing

Good for them trying to catch up to the rest of the market

I’m done with giving Nintendo money tho

_cryptagion, do games w Peter Molyneux explains why his infamous Kinect game Project Milo was never released

I was never interested in this, but I did enjoy the Connect, for nothing else but being able to control Netflix without getting up.

TaiCrunch, do games w Switch 2 supports USB mouse controls, developer reveals

As soon as they showed the JoyCon mouse control I was hoping there would be support for standard mice. It still doesn’t do anything to steer me toward a Switch 2 over a Steam Deck, but it’s an excellent move for accessibility.

Who’s claiming that giving away your Deck is a necessity?

TaiCrunch,

I don’t have a Steam Deck yet. Given the choice between that and the Switch 2, at this point, I’m still going with the Steam Deck.

  • 7arakun,

    Yeah it’s about use-case. Owning 2 handhelds from the same generation really only makes sense if you collect consoles. I didn’t buy a Steam Deck because I got gifted a Switch Lite. I’m covered as far as handhelds go until there are new games I can’t play. I would argue most people think this way.

    TaiCrunch,

    Your perspective is way off. It sounds like you’re young, single (no kids, at least), and doing well for yourself. Which is great!

    I have a pretty well-paying job, at least enough for my family and I to live comfortably. But I also have adult responsibilities, including taking care of said family. Sure, on paper, I could feasibly afford to get both, but there’s no sense in getting two systems that–to my earlier point–seem to serve identical functions. Especially not when I’d also like to go out with my wife, prep a high schooler for college, help my younger child with severe special needs with everything he needs to thrive, sometimes go on vacation, do some other hobbies, responsibly maintain vehicles and things around the house, and so on. All that on top of purchasing frugally (every single piece of furniture in my living room, for example, we got secondhand for free).

    So yes, it’s very much an either/or decision for me, as it is for a lot of people.

  • TaiCrunch,

    Funny you mention it, the next large purchase I have planned is a gaming PC to replace my aging 2018 laptop, and I plan on going all-in on Linux. From what I can tell, AMD seems to be the way to go, and as a long time Fedora user, I’m interested in Nobara.

    What’s your setup? Any recommendations?

    prole,

    What an embarrassing thing for the moderator to remove. Just an absolutely joyless person that mod must be.
