I remember Thor saying that not tying a single player campaign to a server would be bad for developers and Louis barely covered that statement here. How? How would keeping single player and any server-based systems separate hurt the dev? Just plan for this from the beginning. 🤦‍♂️

They were both good.

But I never run into anyone who even played the OG MUD on CompuServe. Just the Bioware one.

The expansions were even better and so was the fact it had a toolset and DM’ing elements for online play.

The fact BG3 does not is the only reason I’m not still playing it. Really wish it had a toolset so we could have custom campaigns and shit.

Word of mouth. YouTube. Pretty much anything that isn’t an actual ad because the only games that I usually see ads for are games I do not give a shit about.

The OG: Space Cadet Pinball.

There is one I remember hearing about a while back and I want to find it again that was really dope because it was a full on simulator and had a easy to use builder to build your own tables. People were recreating actual tables for it, though only those in the public domain.

Yay. Buff to poise damage on dry leaf arts. Jumping R2’s barely even did shit to most things, and these are strike weapons!

Boo. Increased poise damage on Claws of Night. That shit already stunned everything.

Edit:

Fixed a bug where the physical attack attribute of the “Scattershot Throw” Skill of the “Claws of Night” weapon was different than expected.

Ah… I take back that boo. Maybe that’s why they buffed its poise damage. The regular damage was fucked lol

They also nerfed the HA on Palm Blast, so I hope they didn’t just ruin my entire build…

Finally, they acknowledged the Inappropriate Activity bug and performance issues; they did not actually fix them though, yet… Maybe next patch.

They should stop patching it out and just make it a sexual preference option. Lemme make the Hapsbergs.

Really? Cuz I see more Xbox ads than PlayStation or Nintendo ones.

Xbox: No games.

PS5: No games.

Nintendo: Games; but even the 10 year old ones are still full price.

The minute the show runners said that they did not play or care about the game before a single episode even aired, I knew it was going to suck balls.

If you don’t know or even care about the source material: you shouldn’t have the rights to make anything about it.

Sounds like the Doom movie, which wasn’t originally written to be a Doom movie which is very apparent by not only a few unchanged lines of dialogue but also by the fact it was more like Resident Evil than it was like Doom.

Unless it’s a Fromsoft game. Then about half the enemies are just a naked dude with a sick weapon. The less clothing/armor they have, the more difficult the challenge.

The only house rules we had with Goldeneye was that we always had the “handicap” set such that you could only survive 1 or 2 hits to the body unless you had the body armor and got like 2 more before death.

But then we would just use remote mines and the quick detonation trick anyway 🤷🏻‍♂️

Why would I pay to cheat when I could cheat for free and they’ll just punish all the non-cheaters in the sessions I ruin? 🤷🏻‍♂️

This game is such a fucking joke. GTA6 could literally suck your dick while you play and I wouldn’t buy it.

What GTA5 came out in 2022? 🤨 AFAIK, it only had 2 separate releases; the first on consoles, then on PC a year later. Like has been the case with every GTA since 3.

I’ve played an Atari Jaguar before. Those controllers were fucking awful.

The 64 controller is a close contender, although it’s hard to give it shit when it was from when 3D first started being a thing and nobody really figured shit out. But I mean, it should have been a no brainer to not design it so you’d need 3 hands to comfortably use all the inputs.

If you mean specific brands and what not; I can’t even remember all the garbage 3rd party things I’ve used throughout my life. Not good enough or terrible enough to even remember.

People always give shit to MadCatz but they had the sturdiest 64 controllers. All the first party ones would last maybe 2 or 3 games of Mario Party or WWF Smackdown. The MadCatz we had was the GOAT for games that required spinning the stick a lot. But I hated how extra THICC they were. Made them a bitch to hold.

Am I gonna be taxing around other players? Why would they do this to an arcade-style classic? Also clearly using “open world” as a buzzword since the original game was also an open world; you just had a time limit that prevented any real exploration.

You should still see an increase with every level, it just won’t be as big once you start getting toward the max. Kinda like stats and soft/hard caps.

Maybe I can finally kill the last dude. Fucker always nukes me with his arena filling divine light bullshit like 30 seconds into the second phase because it kills me in one shot. Literally only dude in the game at this point who has been able to.

I used to think this guy was cool, but fuck him.

Just entering the DLC at level 1 is a fun challenge. But, like… If you can kill Radahn and Mogh at level 1 it probably isn’t actually a challenge. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m not really that upset considering it was going to end up the same as The Sims (with its content in DLC piecemeal) anyway, coming from Paradox.

It visually looked like an asset flip simulation shovelware game you can find all over Steam by searching for the shit with the worst reviews, too.

The servers aren’t the best and it’s a highly popular game. Connection issues during peak times were pretty bad (and becoming a problem again as the DLC approaches) and the way invasions work, as soon as you have a summon you are almost guaranteed be invaded since invasions only get connected to hosts with phantoms (with it prioritizing 2 coop partners) or if they use the Taunter’s Tongue.

PCVR.

Even if I’m playing a regular non-VR game, I like playing it in a VR environment so I can have a bigger screen than my biggest display IRL. I spend a lot of time in VRChat on the native Quest app while using a 2D remote desktop app that runs in the menu overlay to play Elden Ring.

It’s got more content than horse armor though. Totally worth it. ^/s^

Fallout 3’s world doesn’t feel like Fallout but the tone of the writing comes close.

Fallout 4’s tone and writing doesn’t feel like Fallout, but the world does.

New Vegas is the only 3D Fallout game that feels like Fallout in both the world and the writing.

I can almost guarantee that unless Josh Sawyer and the other original talent that made 1, 2, and tactics that also worked on New Vegas are working on it, it will never feel like a true Fallout game.

Why is the 30% publishing cut thing even part of a CLA of players? It literally doesn’t affect them.

If games on Steam were 30% more expensive than anywhere else, you (and the lawsuit’s plaintiffs) might have had a point.

When I think “space game” I usually have a specific genre in mind and Mass Effect isn’t it. You don’t even do anything in space unless you count the hub area since it’s your spaceship. For Starfield to be an honorable mention but Elite completely devoid from the list has dealt me near lethal psychic damage. 😩

The mods only work with ROMs, so the idea is to take down anything that might make people want ROMs to emulate. Whether they have a legal right to do so or not.

Sony probably just learned their lesson when they lost their case against the Bleem! emulator back in the late 90’s/early 2000’s. They were, originally, just as rabid as Nintendo against emulation. And perhaps they also learned that you attract more flies with honey than with vinegar.

Then again, while Sony isn’t as aggressive as Nintendo, they are a bit slow on the up take and sometimes do really dumb things. Like their current strategy of releasing the first thing of a series on PC but the followups only on the PS5 to try and get PC gamers to buy PS5s. Why would I do that if my save isn’t on that platform and there’s no way to convert them?

Aren’t these rules specifically for Steam keys?

Like it’s fine if they sell their game on Steam for $40 and another store for $60 as long as the thing on the other store is for that platform and not a key to activate it on Steam.

They just want the price of a game that’s on your Steam library no matter the source to be the same no matter where you purchase it.

The agreement is only between the dev and Valve; 3rd party key sellers like G2A or Eneba usually obtain their keys through trades, buying them from the original seller, or by stealing them (which is an entirely different can of worms). They’re entitely user-driven marketplaces selling second-hand merch.

It’s gonna take twice as long as Starfield all to contain the same jank in an even larger, more barren, world where nothing is interesting and you’re just going through the motions because that’s what Todd Howard thinks games are.

It’s smaller but I would not say it was dumbed down like Oblivion was to Morrowind. Morrowind feels more or less the same as Arena or Daggerfall, except in how character progressiom works and that you didn’t have to swing your mouse around trying to hit things with your weapon.

It literally still has all the deeper mechanics like performing rituals during certain times of the day/months/year and what not. Just not a procedurally generated world with RNG quests or dungeons. And thank God for that because Daggerfall and Arena both could literally break by generating a dungeon you couldn’t actually finish.
