I loved RTS games back in the day, played through all the Command & Conquers, Warcrafts, Starcrafts and all that, but then gradually it felt like the genre starting morphing into DotA and other games and I just sort of moved on. I was mostly single-player, though got into multiplayer later, but remember it being so fucking nerve-wracking and having to click hundreds of times a minute and trying to optimize everything, I’d be so worn out after playing. My best game I ever remembered playing was Starcraft 2, there was one match where multiple players tried ganging up on me in a FFA match, it was obvious they were coordinating, and I somehow fended them off and took the game. It wasn’t an important game or anything, but that was one of the fond memories I have from that time in my gaming life.
I think I eventually just shifted over to turn-based strategy instead and I don’t know if the genre ever really returned from DotA.
I don’t know the context. I get that consistency can be important. It would be so easy however to give it a beautiful cell shaded treatment, the toy look would lend itself well to it
To my eyes, Pokemon also went clay/plastic when they moved from 3DS (USUM) to Switch. I hope Nintendo moves on from this look. I want to see something in the style of Windwaker, personally.
Could be because you replied to a random unrelated comment, instead of commenting on the post itself, or because you could’ve just looked it up easily, or maybe people thought you were being snarky somehow (especially since you were replying to somebody)
They were forced to change the name and some artworks after receiving a cease and desist by Sony over the BloodBorne Intellectual Properties.
In the USA, IP protects not only blatant name copies but also applies to any product that attempts to make consumers associate the two or confuse the two. So by constantly saying “ITS BLOODBORNE KART ITS THE KART GAME BASED ON BLOODBORNE! SONY’S IP BLOODBORNE PRODUCT, RIGHT HERE!” we’re actually making future lawsuits more likely.
I understood the cease and desist more like a “we love what you’re doing here, but because of copyright, please don’t blatantly use our name” But I’m not used to legal speech so maybe I mayorly misunderstood this.
I always gamed predominantly on PC but this generation I did the maths as PC parts had become over-inflated so decided to give console a try. I still think it was a decent decision for this generation…
Game Pass can be had waaaaaay cheaper than that and you can get it all back and more in rewards points.
I spent £450ish on the console at launch including controller and a game. Equivalent GPU was £500 or more at the time.
Spent £150ish on Game Pass sub from November 2020 to July 2026 which has allowed me to play countless games I never would have bought outright.
I’ve made over £700 back in vouchers with over 2 years left to accumulate more. Spent half of it on games, and controllers, headset, etc. all of which I can use on my PC. Plan on saving the remaining vouchers to put towards my next PC build.
This is without mentioning other console benefits like low maintenance, Quick Resume and the fact I can use one copy of a game to play with two players online.
That’s why I mentioned those other console exclusive features. Anyway the original point was about cost and I think the Series X was the best value for money at launch this gen…
Half the price of building a similar PC at launch.
Rewards are higher on console so recoup the cost more than PC.
I use Game Pass on both PC and Xbox with a single account to play multiplayer so cheaper on that front.
We’re half way through the generation now though. PC parts have got cheaper, Game Pass Ultimate conversion ratio has dropped and rewards are drying up so probably wouldn’t advocate it anymore. PC likely to be better value next gen.
Looks very janky. There are a lot of moments where the AI just looks completely broken like in 1:12 where he instantly goes from being on the floor to an attack animation. I guess it’s not surprising considering it’s in development hell.
It’s such a blow to the gut to watch this. I don’t often watch The Completionist’s content but when I do, it was enjoyable and he has such a following. To taint and take advantage of the concept of charity is so egregious. Hopefully it doesn’t deter people from charities but instead do more extensive research on the charitable organizations and foundations on their own

Summary
Thank you for making the game surpass 1 million copies sold!
The highest priority for the team is developing the DLC and working on the sequel. Brainstorming and exploring different aspects of the projects.
Planning another patch in November (exact dates are still being discussed).
Expect some balances in the weapon assembly system
Rising dodge will be provided as a default skill, eliminating the need to unlock it from the P-Organ. This is to ease the difficulty in the early stages of the game specifically against the shovel puppet (aka Pancake Bot).
Polendina will sell 2 additional Quartz from the first stage of his shop.
They will give Alidoro costumes to all players as a token of gratitude, including his mask
They will introduce an extra slot for facial accessories, enabling the wearing of hats and glasses at the same time.
They are planning to add new wearables in the game - the Alchemist’s Hat (Venigni Hat) and a brand new pair of glasses!
Aside from these, several other elements are currently in preparation. For a comprehensive overview of the final contents, please refer to the upcoming patch notes
They are grateful to the players for praises and compliments on the music. They are currently in the process of preparing the release of the soundtrack. The collection will have nearly all the music from Lies of P, totaling more than 60 tracks.
They are also working more diligently and investing considerable thought and effort to meet the expectations in the Wo Long Fallen Dynasty crossover and make the collaboration of the highest quality.
Working on DLC - they are hiring new developers to join their team.
Shared some sketches from the DLC. These images are merely the tip of an iceberg. Let your imagination go wild and anticipate what’s to come.
To me it’s less about the user reviews, and more about how as now some time is passing, listening to professional reviewers in podcasts etc, more and more the mood turns… tepid?
It’s not that anyone is underwhelmed. More just… whelmed.
I can't believe how much this game has missed the mark.
Assassin's Creed: Black Flag but with none of the Assassin/Templar shenanigans. That's all they had to do...
That’s pretty much all I’ve wanted in a game since I played AC4 or the pirates of the carribean on xbox.
So much so that while at uni doing comp sci I started trying to get into game dev just to learn that knowing how to program was such a fraction of requirement, I couldn’t make 2D or 3D assets at all, just don’t have the flair for it and didn’t want to use bought assets.
And a lot of the features don’t have a reason to engage with them. E.g. Vehicles. You get a spaceship at the start, so most of the vehicles you get later are very much a downgrade. And that Exo Mech which had an entire update dedicated to it. To me, it just illustrated why mecha are a silly concept, namely everything you can do with them can be done better with other vehicles. The game is basically a toybox, and none of the toys really keep my attention.
Just wanted to comment that land vehicles have their purpose because take off in the ship takes a noticeable amount of fuel (though not as bad as it used to be) It’s not bad but you can drive around to get resources in vehicle much easier (assuming you’re trying to explore a bit). Not saying you’re completely wrong or anything, once you get so far you rarely need to go resource gathering anyways.
Base building is kinda fun if you’re into it (plus you get to build the inside of your freighter like a base) and there’s lots of missions and a decent chunk of story somewhere in there. It’s pretty shallow but more like a wading pool than a puddle at least. It’s fun to relax with and wander but I tend to lose interest before I can find the new ships and all so haven’t even got a living ship yet had it since release.
I got really into for like 100 hours way after they fixed everything and then I see these cool updates but don’t really have any interest in touching it again
