It sucks that I don’t trust this game to be playable offline. I’m also not a fan of hitstun decay, but at least there were a few points in this video where there appeared to be tech traps; if you’re going to have hitstun decay, it needs to keep the other player engaged too, rather than just holding a button and waiting for your opponent to maybe screw up.
Maybe game developers should wake up and understand that people like to be able to customize their characters cosmetically and not just click to slash over and over and over again.
You want consumers to spend money based on how much effort you put into a product instead of how appealing it is to the consumer? Newsflash, that’s not how capitalism works.
Yeah I remember when this first happened, it felt a bit magical because while sure, the tech was around, this was the first time someone was doing it big. Virtual idols!
Huh interesting. I guess I’ve never understood the idol thing, much less a virtual one. I ask this in a totally non-judgmental and purely curious way: what’s the appeal?
Okay so as a Vocaloid fan, I’ll try to explain best as I can
First off, computer voices are just cool, and we just like how a lot of them sound. I love Kagamine Rin’s voice for example, and still would even if she wasn’t a computer program.
Second, the community surrounding Vocaloid is absolutely massive. If you like a real singer, they’ll have a limit to how many songs they can release. But since this is an instrument, anyone can release a song with practically the same voice (practically since people usually tune it differently). There’s music in tons of different genres, by tons of different artists, all sung by Miku.
Third, I’m assuming when you’re talking about ‘appeal’ here you in some part mean the concerts. Well, on these concerts the band covers both original songs made specifically for the event by prominent Vocaloid producers, and band covers of existing popular songs. At least I think that’s how that works, I’ve never been to one before. So there’s not only hearing songs you like on there, but also meeting with like-minded people with the same interest as you. Also the animations for them are just so damn smooth
Four, a lot of us are just weebs
I’m bad at explaining but I hope that helped a bit at least :)
Not at all, that was a great explanation! I like hearing about things I don’t understand from people who are passionate about them, so thanks for the response.
Edit: I just realized if you’re reading this and are interested into Vocaloid, this is not a representative video. It’s just showing off a fun, cheap pocket synth.
This looks pretty rough as it is. Like someone else said the combat doesn’t look impactful at all (I mean what the heck was that thing shooting at Hulk?), the art style is kinda mid, the VA isn’t doing that many favors (other than Yuri as Spider-Man).
The only thing that looked kinda fun was the Rocket/Groot team-up move.
So stoked for this, I poured 80 hours into the first season. My playtime wound down towards the end of the season, so I hope they’re not discouraged by the lower player count and this new season brings back folks like me who like to bounce between different games. I just cannot main one game anymore. But The Finals has been the most refreshing PVP game in years, since Titanfall 2 imo. I hope it has staying power, and we see more seasons cause Season 2 is looking delicious!
as long as developers buy into the CUDA environment, that will never happen.
the sole reason why nvidia caps vram capacities is to prevent developers from having a budget option and having to buy 4090s or workstation quadro cards for vram.
Why would you preorder while you don’t know whether it even runs on day 1? Especially with From, where the main game had serious technical flaws initially, too?
Honestly? I just let the hype train roll me into the steam store. Not gonna pretend it was a smart decision, certainly not gonna advise anyone else do it.
What were the serious technical flaws at launch? I remember some performance issues but nothing super serious.
Fair enough, tbh. A little bit of hype is always nice.
I struggled a fair bit. Performance hit me hard with really bad stutter in particular during some early boss fights, I also had weird CTDs after the first patch, and of course it has the good ol partially-hardcoded key bindings were trying to use alternative input schemes such as cursors, ESDF or truly alternative input devices is a no-go. Though these days I find it difficult to criticize any specific game for that, I hate how ubiquitous this problem has become. Like CP2077 still has it after so many years, Avatar Frontiers of Pandora has it, etc etc.
Oh, and one big one I just recalled: The online would disconnect, but without telling me. This wasn’t always bad, but the game would not realize it’s no longer online, so sometimes it “stalled” trying to check something online. Never found out what caused that, it was gone after some patch. Long story short I waited a fairly long time, then played it after a bunch of patches when it was mostly - sadly not entirely - fine. And loved it. :)
It’ll almost certainly not run very well, but I still played 100hr of the base game despite its poor performance. I preordered too because I know regardless of technical state it will be worth playing.
Had the game day 1 (Xbox). I understand and appreciate it was a different experience for PC users but I experienced no major technical flaws specifically those that worsened my experience.
That said, never pre-order personally but I will be buying day 1 regardless of media.
