I recently finished playing Breath of the Wild and declared it as one of my favorite games ever played. I just started Tears of the Kingdom, and it feels like I may not go back to BOTW, which is crazy that I could consider it one the best experiences ever, and also feel like I may never play it again so shortly after beating it. TotK seems to have everything in BotW and more, with quality of life changes on top of it all.

MintyAnt,

Totk is… more of an expansion/dlc than a sequel. Even the intro has near identical beats. The map is literally re used.

Fun game still.

MutilationWave,

Incel culture has always existed it just didn’t have a way out if its mom’s basement without the internet.

I wonder what kind of person judges people (Men to be precise) as sub-humans because they didn’t have sex with a woman ?

lol incel club has been infested with other creepy stuff waaaay beyond just that somewhile ago. today’s incels are low level IQ insults to the people who were the true incels of before, like those intelligent people who came up with 15 feb and so on.

What are these “Creepy” stuff ?

move to the part after 2005s or so I would say. you can also find various documentaries online on how it evolved over time.

softcat,

I tend to think the average person is extremely judgmental and desperate for status hierarchy. In part that’s the conclusion of the study. As you can see in the other IQ-obsessed reply, it’s not exactly uncommon.

The trouble with this is that every single statement in it is true.

What do you mean you don’t like seeing a perfect real time reflection of the NPC across from you in a puddle that costs you 95% of your frame rate?

Even without RTX scenery can look damn near real. But the moment there is a human in the scene, the uncanny valley fucks everything up. I don’t even get it because animals can look perfect and not trigger the uncanny valley effect, but humans always do. RTX won’t ever fix that.

Ephera,

I always thought that was just a me-thing. People will be like “Oh it looks so realistic”, which a) I consider a bad thing, like I’m seeing reality plenty times already, why would I want more of that? But also b) no, it does not? Even the games with the biggest budgets continue to have NPCs that look as stiff as if they’re three days dead. I’d say “with a puppeteer’s hand up their rear” since they do move their mouths, but frankly, even puppets move around more than NPCs do.

It took less computational power to put a man on the moon than it does to make the shadows look 2.03% more realistic.

MonkderVierte,

Ok, but a 20 year old calculator is more powerful too.

OK, maybe a slight twist, but Left 4 Dead absolutely sucks vs. Left 4 Dead 2. Want L4D? Fine. Play it inside L4D2 with better guns and zombies.

SuspiciousCatThing,

Oof, can not agree. I found the first one being much easier to palate, not having any of those sections where you have to collect a bunch of items into another item. Like fueling the car in the mall. Absolutely frustrating trash.

VitoRobles,

There’s something different between the two that I can’t put my finger on. Like everything feels a lot more solid?

I personally have a lot more memories of L4D and it’s cast of characters over L4D2.

newthrowaway20, do gaming w Stop doing path-tracing!

I would laugh if it wasn’t true. But also, people underestimate how realistic light and shadows can really sell a scene. It just shouldn’t require the electricity of a refrigerator to do it.

fuckwit_mcbumcrumble,

A lot of that is just poor implementation on the developers end. They go “oh the engine we bought supports this? Well let’s do the bare minimum to enable the setting.” And you get games that don’t even look better, but run like ass.

Ephera,

Well, yeah, ray-tracing is actually a lot simpler to implement, because you just implement things the way physics works and then that works in most situations as you’d expect (i.e. how physics works).

All the lighting techniques we used in the past were just faking lighting in ever more intricate ways. Computationally much less intensive ways, which is why we bothered with them in the first place, but it’s genuinely quite a bit of work.
There’s some ways to optimize ray-tracing itself (e.g. pre-bake the lighting into scenes), but many times it’s also a matter of mixing ray-tracing and more traditional lighting techniques, which brings in that additional work again.

Which is then why it’ll be done less and less, the better hardware becomes. Because if publishers can sell to a wide audience without putting in that work, they absolutely will not put in that work.

Well then the obvious conclusion is that respecting women makes you better at video games.

@edgemaster72@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t think that’s right, I’m terrible at games but I still respect women (enough to spare them from interacting with me whenever possible. Same goes for all people really)

Nosavingthrow,

Think about how bad you would be if you hated women. You’re really skill-maxing.

as a mildly misandrist lesbian with lots of obsessive crushes:

provably not. maybe there’s a bell curve?

TwanHE,

More likely higher ranked players finally figured out that keeping harmony within your team does wonders for your chance at winning. The amount of infighting I’ve had to stop just to save my elo is insane, why would i start something just because of someone’s gender.

inzoi being no devuno is amazing, I’m super hyped for it, I hope it’s good

RiQuY,

Don’t get baited, they said they removed Denuvo from the Early Access, we will see what happens in the full release, if it goes out of EA ever.

Pika,
@Pika@sh.itjust.works avatar

they said it’s not in it due to restrictions on modding and hindering freedoms, I would assume they have no plans at all for having it any. ore as the rest of the post would fall apart otherwise, but yea i guess take it with a grain of salt if you like. I’m hopeful it won’t have it.

Why did you post this? Seems like a waste of time.

frostysauce,

Why did you comment this? Seems like a waste of time.

Lumbardo,

Why did you reply to my comment? Seems like a waste of time.

Call of Duty: World At War Zombies

Every map in WaW zombies has been re-released at least twice. WaW zombies is cool because of how simple and barebones it is, but holy fucking hell that game was not coded for any sort of melee combat. The zombie bodies are so damn large, according to their hit boxes. Try to run past them but brush up against their pinky? Guess you’re done. Also for some reason the co-op splitscreen is not split vertically, and it’s not split horizontally, each of the two players just gets a quarter of the screen in a tiny box. Who knows why.

I love it to death but it’s real hard to go back to it.

Ok, I’m loving the idea of making cases for my GoG backups. I didn’t see a reference to the community. Can you provide a link?

Edit: I found this page, which has a dead link to the “up-to-date” list.

007 games. But the N64 soundtrack was great.

WordBox,

Esp given 007 on N64 varied so widely.

Idk how Goldeneye was ever playable yet it damn well was and the best!

Whitebrow, do games w Steam Deck / Gaming News #7

Happy to see GameInformer back

As for games: two point museum and nordhold

2point Museum has been a blast with all the commentary, announcements and fun descriptions and nordhold scratches that tower defence with meta progression itch

Whitebrow,

From the video during a cinematic sequence: “there’s somebody talking but I muted that part”

The visuals are nice but cmon, you can’t play it with no sound :/
