This looks exactly like the tepid diarrhea I expected for 200 million dollars from 500 developers. It’s a miracle how everything MS touches becomes tainted, if someone told me that Arcane would be offering Redfall, I’d have refused to believe it.
I know that Mugen is just a word, but to me and a lot of other people, Mugen is the build your fighting game engine with a constant twitch stream that has Goku fighting and losing to Tetris brick.
I got this as part of a double buy together with Bionicle. I was a huge Bionicle nerd but ended up playing way more of this game. The combination of RTS and decreased focus on combat worked really well for me.
I am going to play the hell out of this once I get home.
I basically have a spreadsheet to tackle my backlog, I add 10 - 20 games to my list of games that I’ve bought (mostly on discount, some from bundles, and some from PS+, some emulated games, etc), then I’d just stream them.
If I don’t feel like the game is resonating with me, I’d just stop, assign Not Resonating tag and move on.
I do admit that when I see a big backlog, I tend to exhibit these behaviors:
Guilt in buying new games, which is not bad, now I only buy full priced game once or twice a year, and mostly buying discounted stuff
The need to power thru games that I don’t like, until I started using Not Resonating tag, which I give games that don’t click with me two tries, before giving up
I have hard time aiming the stomp, handling the motion control, and by the time I reached the underwater level, I’m exhausted.
It’s a good game, but sadly it’s not for me, at least not for long term session of playing. Maybe one day I will play the game in short bursts, but platformer is sadly not my genre.
Having Anti-Cheat of any kind outside of the game is laziness or lack of resources.
I believe just have physical limitations of the character or objects and verify the movement every once in a while to make sure that their movement is not super human (ie, aim bots).
It takes more work and resources to do what they’re doing. They already do server side anti cheat. And realistically, this is more effective than not doing it, though it definitely still gets defeated anyway. I would say the things that it asks of the customer are not worth the trade even if they were 100% effective, but they are more effective.
The best thing is back when Battlefield was Battlefield, it would self-regulate because most people played on self-hosted servers, so cheaters and bad actors were taken care of swiftly. But now they want their own control to put shitty bots and SBMM in the game, so here we are.
This whole game is a case of the devs making bad decisions and then instead of changing them decisions, they apply the quickest bandaid fixes they can.
The issue with “just analyze the players” is that it is VERY expensive computationally. And it causes issues with non-official servers as it drastically increases the cost of a dedicated server and makes a listen server nigh unusable.
To be clear: I do not think the kernel level anti-cheats are a consumer friendly solution. But it takes a special kind of arrogance to insist you know better than decades worth of research and work in trying to stop hacking.
May I ask what it is you dont like about them? Saying them as there are more than just one person behind this channel now, not sure if u refer to that or just the main person.
They coined the term “HR in the room” with dragon age veilguard and called the entire dialog tree in every scenario terrible when they only took a single dialog path. As I have personally played the game and enjoy it as do several people I know, it’s pretty clear they were upset by the fact that they weren’t included in review copies. Now that’s not to say veilguard doesn’t have problems because it clearly does, but dialog in my current playthrough has been perfectly fine. There have been other reviews like this as well for lower profile games, DAV unfortunately was a very high profile game reviewed by a disgruntled YouTuber with a large platform to voice their opinions. The real tragedy is that the meme stuck and veilguard will always be labeled as this terrible “woke” entry into the franchise when in reality it was perfectly fine.
To put it simply, Skillup is not genuine in their reviews and in some cases very clearly have an “agenda” to push. I’m not a fan of that behavior, so I’m not a fan of Skillup.
The music, story and art harmonizes in a way that caused me to sit and be sad for hours. The melancholy environment, the inevitability of death and the sorrow love eventually causes. It’s so fucking beautiful!
Just the start, losing Sophie to the gommage, the setting and music ties it all so damn well together. It’s beautiful and tremendously sad. The whole thing is such a masterpiece of what games can achieve. A game where the gameplay isn’t the best or groundbreaking, but combined with the art, music, tone and story, it flies up to one of the best games in recent years. If not more.
I really liked the first one. For those who haven’t heard of it, it’s a weird platformer/collect-a-thon where you play as a spaceman (or a spacedog, funnily enough) scouting potentially livable planets for a ruthless company.
The first one was a bit undercooked, but the whole game was better than the sum of its parts. I’m curious to see if the sequel improved on the original.
For some reason, the game is still pending on GoG despite having released yesterday on Steam. I wish developers stopped the second-class citizen of their GoG users. I can understand small dev teams doing a staggered release for multiplatform games, but the game’s already on Steam, and GoG is just another PC storefront… I don’t understand.
FYI, the “O” in “GOG” is capitalized; it stands for “Good Old Games” as they originally made their claim to fame by modernizing access to literally old DOS, etc. games that are hard to run onodern PCs. It doesn’t stand for “of.”
With that said, yes, GOG should absolutely be prioritized, as well as itch.io.
You know the people that screamed not to buy the PS5 pro and games like the last of us part 1, a completely rebuilt game compared to the original…
Those are the same people that will buy a switch 2 and defend a $90 pride tag on a Mario kart game. I won’t buy a switch 2 for $450. That’s fucking insane. But the console will get scalped and people will still buy it for $800-$1200 for fomo reasons.
The console for $ 450 is not that insane (although it is somewhere PS4 power equal), the game prices and some other anti consumer practices are. I am playing in PC, and the only console i had the past 15 years was Switch. I did not know many games where dropped to $20 before Switch only to resale them at $60 after.
Many gamers had no problem with a $70 some years ago, buying the games and now its going up. Until they realize it, they will ask themselves why $120 games is the new norm in a few years.
Also charging $10 for playing the games you own in a new console that you bought, without almost no content, man consumers suck hard for accepting that.
