StayDoomed, do games w Gaming Pet Peeves

Too many games are “survival” games now which really means they will make you do a bunch of chores to get to the sub par shooter or adventure game the chores gate you from. No, I don’t want to chop wood and get rope or whatever for the 50th game that never innovates on any of these mechanics to get to the “good part”

Also lots of fun games seem to be ruined because they are battle royales.

  • No quit button or hiding it in the settings menus
  • No ability to rebind controls
  • Endless, unskippable intro videos
  • Taking control away to have a cutscene that is all dialogue and no action that could have just as easily been something you control as you walk and listen. Especially if it’s not even an in-engine, real-time scripted thing but a pre-rendered video that doesn’t even show your actual character as you have them dressed.
  • FOMO and most MTX in general.
  • No ping/latency stats for everyone on the server

Unskippable cutscenes absolutely need to die. Even on the first playthrough - give me the info I need in a notes section or something, but do not waste my limited time on this coil with slow “exposition.”

I usually quit those when they get too grating and move on, but it’s frustrating nonetheless.

I’d say that viewing cutscenes on your first playthrough is appreciating the artistic intent that goes behind it.

Mad__vegan,

I just want to skip the dialogue once I’ve read the subtitles. Horizon does an incredible job at this. So many games could have gotten a 2nd playthrough from me to get the platinum if I could have skipped the dialogue and cut scenes

IronBird,

some people like to experience the games for the art behind them, not as digital cocaine. if you just want to do cocaine…just do cocaine.

Aethr,

Its a good thing they’re asking for something that doesn’t impact the experience for those people then

Your work is always so sick. Love the attitude in your work; it’s so angular, and aggressively posed. The line work is beautiful. The shadows are so deep and so clean. Very impressive stuff, you’ve clearly worked hard!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words, that means a lot. I love to draw, I try to every day.

Challenges that require replaying a level several times to achieve them can be very rewarding

Unless the level also comes with unskippable cut scenes or long conversations on horseback

I so much wait for the next game from Quantic Dream. Detroit is one of my all time favourites. There was no better visual novel yet.

Altho CoD and GTA are my main games I still play other things and I have like, 251 games on my Steam account, and countless others outside of it… Like, you do not need to restrict yourself to only yearly release triple A stuff… Those games get boring eventually.

Games that are artificially limited to 60fps

Doc_Crankenstein,

The only games that should be limited are fighting games and that’s because it isn’t arbitrary for them, it’s integral to the frame data for moves.

I’m out of the loop here, been playing bf6 since the beta.

My shots kill people.

You got lucky… A lot of people haven’t, it’s pretty much completely RNG depending on your ISP. And my internet is not slow at all (500 Mbps down/250 Mbps up fiber with a decent ONU) so I’m just confused.

It got a LOT better after the last update, but the fact it took this long is absurd.

prettybunnys,

This is the first I’ve heard of it tbh 🤷

That said googling it just now brings up a lot of info, so guess I have been lucky

SalamenceFury, (edited )
@SalamenceFury@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah it seems to be a desync between client/server that can happen depending of your ISP. I once turned on the event graph and recorded an entire match on OBS while trying to get in as many gunfights as possible. I had 153 client hits (AKA hit markers that went off on MY end) but only 98 server hits!! The server ate almost TWO entire magazines of hitmarkers…

The idea that this same person would actually play something with as much soul as Until Dawn is pretty unbelievable. Can you believe they have like, emotions and crap? Plus just so much talking, I mean come on. They don’t even have a BattlePass!

Such clean lines and effective shading. I’m in grey scale mode on my phone so at first I thought this was a photo of a metallic miniature. Really impressive work.

Bro, how do all your pieces come out so clean?

BazaarMonk,
@BazaarMonk@lemmy.world avatar

Thanks man! I try to never smudge the graphite and always work with a piece of paper under my drawing hand.

JayDee, do games w Samus Aran drawing I made

Is this mostly line work or stippling?

BazaarMonk,
@BazaarMonk@lemmy.world avatar

Mostly just line work and regular shading. The texture of the paper gives it that stippling look.

I wish we could play the first three uncharted games via steam. Luckily I have my ps3 still but man, PC would be a blast.

Grimtuck,

My PS4 is still boxed up and stored away for when I want to play them again. I wish they would remaster them and release for PC.
