Yes! The original Code Vein is one of my guilty pleasures. It’s very rough in spots and a lot of the levels feel like they’re just hallways to connect arenas, but there’s still a lot of fun to be had if it looks like it might be your kind of thing.
The character had a ton of options and the character builds in game let you unlock skills from classes for permanent equip so you could start to blend the classes together to your liking, creating some really cool builds if you put some thought into it.
It’s a silly game, but one I recommend if you’re just looking for a bit of fun and not expecting an overly engaging experience.
My biggest problem with the first game is the difficulty curve. I think it peaked at the second zone if I’m not mistaken, then it goes up and down like crazy, last boss was a joke for example. Love the game tho, hope they can fix that for the sequel
I have complete zero trust in this franchise. What they did with the original Aion is the worst garbage in MMO history. If people fall in this hype should reconsider their intelligence capacity
I’m not fully on board but I’m eagerly waiting the review embargo. Elden Ring is possible my favorite game in the last few years and I wouldn’t say no to more of it.
I bought the early access, it’s pretty fun with a bit of jank, but the jank is minimal - it’s worth a purchase I think, especially if you like elder scroll type games
Modification of any other file types (like scripts, configs or libraries) is not allowed and the files will not be loaded by the game and accepted by moderation.
So it looks like they are dropping the vast majority of existing mod support despite the new Steam Workshop integration (or more likely because of it, since now they’re responsible for policing their mods). I guess we won’t see updated versions of Anomoly or any of the other mods that kept the game alive and popular all this time.
The limitation on modified configs is especially baffling. In the old games they were the primary way of fixing the game’s jank, and you shouldn’t be able to make anything malicious with them (short of bad entries that crash the game).
IIRC the old XRay engine is open source (or the source leaked and the devs gave the okay for modders to improve it), so here’s hoping someone can reverse engineer and backport any major improvements this edition adds to the originals.
I kinda wonder how likely it would be to be able to create some sort of softmod for a console if a super moddable game was on them… 🤔
I mean, I remember Morrowind on the OG Xbox had the exact same file structure, with only the executable file being different. You could adjust inis and even load .esp files, allowing the game to be modded if you had the console modded to mess with the files (and run it from a hard drive instead of off the disk). I had my console modded so I could actually see this and had some mods installed. Afaik, tho, it didn’t have a way to softmod the console through it; but that doesn’t necessarily mean it wasn’t possible.
Apparently there is a lot more info about the game on the official site: www.rockstargames.com/VI
It’s not loading at the moment but it contains some screenshots, character info, and confirms certain locations that will appear.
The trailer looked gorgeous, possibly the most photorealistic game we’ve seen yet. I know it was probably recorded on a PS5 Pro, but the fact that it looks this good on console is wild. Still lame that it won’t release on PC at release.
Yeah, I wonder if that’s perhaps the result of basically stapling the old game engine onto UE5 in order to preserve the core gameplay. Back when Oblivion was first released, multicore CPUs were incredibly rare, so it’s likely the engine was not built to take advantage of them. But ever since then, most of the improvements in CPUs have come in the form of adding more cores rather than increasing clock speed, and it’s by no means trivial to convert single-threaded code into multi-threaded. Most likely it would require a complete rewrite, which they’d probably want to avoid in order not to introduce more bugs.
But of course, it could also just be UE5’s fault, since even a single core on a modern CPU should not be slower than a 2006 model.
Yeah i was gonna mention xcom initially but i doubt stuff like party deaths will be a thing here. This game looks like it's gonna feature full on companions, and the controls look pretty much exactly like bg3.
I’m pretty tired of these trailers for the trailers, all it does for me is just drive down my hype or even just interest in a game, and bungie loves them.
Granted I don’t give a flying fuck about marathon, just something I’ve noticed in the industry that is another thing I dont understand
I agree with his points about the $80 dollar games not being a sustainable price point, especially in places like Australia or Brazil which suffer from higher game prices! This is a stupid move on the part of Nintendo…It’s made me rethink buying their Switch 2 as a result. I will wait and see if they have a moment of clarity which derails this bad decision. If they don’t, I hope the market slaps them in the face and buys games that are reasonably priced!
I don’t think he has a great understanding of Australian prices.
The current MKW price of au$120 looks high but if you remove our GST and convert to USD with the average exchange rate over the last 12 months its equivalent to us$70.85. (Donky Kong is au$110 or us$65).
We are currently at a low point with our dollar so the conversion for MKW today would be us$66.49. (DK would be us$61).
Compared to the prices I’m seeing internationally it looks like Australia is getting relatively generous prices from Nintendo.
I loved Doom 2016, and was annoyed as fuck when Eternal had all that silly, aggravating platforming. And this trailer feels like it’s drifting further and further from what I consider to be Doom.
I loved 2016. So did everyone else. Why can’t we just have more of that? It’s not rocket science, you fuckheads.
