Megaman_EXE,

Lol I’ve often heard the other movies weren’t as good but I’ve only seen the first. Are they that bad?

Megaman_EXE,

I have been enjoying these multiplayer games. They’re pretty silly. Also, I really appreciate that these indie titles have a much lower price point.

Only problem is I don’t have time to enjoy them all. Too many games, too many work hours. It’s like the iron triangle where you gotta pick two but you can’t have all 3

Megaman_EXE,

I’m really hoping all my existing purchases can be played via PC one day. If “everything” is indeed becoming an xbox, then I’m hoping this becomes a reality. I’m disappointed they’re moving away from their traditional consoles, though. It feels like the end of something special.

Megaman_EXE,

Oooh I feel like that might be a bad idea for valve, but might be good for everyone else. I don’t personally play, but I would assume some of their player base is invested in the gambling. If they feel discouraged, it might be enough for them to stop.

Megaman_EXE,

Whenever these massive tech companies started laying people off during 2020 was when I went “well shit”. I was only a year into my job and struggled to find something even somewhat relevant at that point prior to covid. I thankfully still have that job for now but I don’t know what’s next

Tech workers have become a dime a dozen now it seems. Heck all workers seem to have. Now with the whole AI thing I’m trying to think of what I can pivot to.

Tech is ruined for me personally. I don’t want to touch AI. I’ve been considering some kind of business i can start myself or like…I don’t know really. I’m just burnt out and don’t know what the future will look like. There’s so much uncertainty

Megaman_EXE,

The GOAT

The Unlikely Development Of The First Splinter Cell (gameinformer.com) angielski

Interesting article. Particularly love the fact that most of the dev team (full of leftists and liberals) hated Tom Clancy’s books (he was a right winger), and the story for Splinter Cell was done ironically as a parody of Clancy’s tropes.

Megaman_EXE,

It always surprises me when I read about people getting hired with no experience. That seems unheard of today. You need the perfect combination of educated enough, but not too much, and maybe giving up your firstborn child to secure a job, lol.

What is the most overrated game gamers hype up?

I’ll give my example and I think I’m going to get a lot of hate for it. I DESPISE Dark Souls 3. It is such a mediocre game when it comes to the actual gameplay. There is like zero build diversity, the combat isn’t indepth and, while the other souls games have at least decent RPG mechanics and exploration can make things...

Megaman_EXE,

Hmm I think most rogue likes. But that’s probably a me issue. I just don’t enjoy having to restart and play the same gameplay loop again. Hades was the closest one that I seemed to enjoy more as I liked the story bits between each run. I recently started cult of the lamb and I enjoy the base building so that might help too.

It’s interesting that you mention DS3. I quite enjoyed my time with it(once I got my bearings. I had to restart a number of times) but I’m super curious if I would enjoy it as much if I went back and played DS1 again to compare.

I can completely understand the environment complaint. I really liked sekiro for all the varied environments and themes.

Megaman_EXE,

I just hope that if “everything becomes an xbox” like they have stated they want to accomplish, that I’ll have access to my full library of titles via pc.

They’ve destroyed their brand through a million cuts over the past decade

Megaman_EXE,

It was a great deal when you could convert for a dollar. I was already paying for online, so a dollar was nothing.

From those super cheap years, I played a good majority of the catalog. If I had to estimate a total amount, it’s probably close to 300+ games I at least tried or finished.

The issue is they didn’t add enough to keep up and what they did add was a lot of old titles I’ve already played. It doesn’t make sense to pay what they’re asking now. It’s crazy. I’m very curious if their asking price will actually pay off for them. After my current sub is up, I think I’m good.

The whole industry trying to milk people for more and more feels gross. I’m going to stick to sales and indies for the foreseeable future unless there’s that one special title that comes around once in a blue moon.

Megaman_EXE,

OH this is exciting. That’s one of my favorite parts about the Xbox controller

Megaman_EXE,

People lacking empathy really messes with me. Stealing is obviously morally wrong, but to steal from someone who is obviously very sick is next level fucked up. I’m glad people helped this guy out in the end. Really sad story

Megaman_EXE,

My only issue with palworld is the gameplay loop. Your options seem to be collecting pals, exploring, building bases, and then fighting the arena bosses. It feels like it has solid fundamentals, but it just doesn’t feel like a fully fleshed out game

Megaman_EXE,

I would really like to see a company go back and make unique handhelds. Handhelds have become portable consoles, which is cool, but I miss the unique games that were built around limitations or unique hardware like the DS and 3ds.

Also I would really like a handheld that doesn’t hurt when you hold it for extended periods of time.

Megaman_EXE,

Ohh man i want a playdate! They’re kind of expensive, but they seem so cool.

Megaman_EXE,

There’s been some incredible indies the past few years. I’m loving that people are going back and making games that look and feel like they could’ve been on the n64, ps1 or SNES.

Megaman_EXE,

Well, I was trying to complete my second playthrough of Metal gear solid 2. But a bad Windows 11 update seems to have corrupted something, and now my PC is crawling.

So, attempting to reinstall/repair. Thanks Microsoft :3

Other than that Metal Gear has been awesome. I finished 3 the other week and have also been playing 4 on the ps3. Not super keen on the bombardment of cutscenes so far in 4, but it’s still pretty neat.

I have really appreciated learning the mechanics of each game. I feel like this is one of the first series where I can play each game twice and learn new things about the game on each playthrough. I can tell how I’m improving and when certain fights were completed with luck or if I actually mastered them. The depth is super addicting

Megaman_EXE,

Thank you for the heads up! I’ll have to go check when the cutscene comes up so I don’t get caught off guard.

I ended up having to watch the MGS2 cutscene before the last boss, and one of the really long MGS3 cutscenes on youtube because I fell asleep while they were playing lol

Megaman_EXE,

I see this has a joystick as well. I’m curious how this worked. It seems cool in theory, but I have a nagging feeling it was awful lol

Megaman_EXE,

I’m hesitant to ask…but what did her mom do that made her stop playing?

Megaman_EXE,

I don’t think anyone does unless the ads are on a smaller site or service. Anything larger like YouTube, tiktok etc just do some automated checks and send it. That’s why so many scams/propaganda get advertised. Nobody checks

Megaman_EXE,

Remember when it was announced for the switch 1? Lol

Megaman_EXE,

Depends on when I hit that difficulty spike and how changing the difficulty works. If I can change the difficulty at any time and not lose progress, I’ll do it and not think twice.

I was playing the evil within 1. I was at the end of the game right before the final boss. The game up to that point was balanced on hard. It gave a good survival horror experience. Every boss fight or mini boss felt reasonable.

At the end of the game, they suddenly throw you into an arena with a ton of enemy waves that wouldn’t drop enough ammo to deal with them all. Looking it up online, the recomendation was to save ammo the whole game specifically for this fight. But nowhere prior did i feel like that was needed

Suddenly, the game went from being fun to frustrating. I didn’t wana have to replay the level so at that point I hung up the towel and moved on.

Great game otherwise! Might replay it on normal one day lol

Megaman_EXE,

Unfortunately, there’s bad guys no matter where you go in the world. Fortunately, there are also good guys, too

Megaman_EXE,

So, while this is going on, does anyone know of must-have games that could get targeted soon? My wishlist is pretty big, and I usually sit on stuff until I feel the need to play it, but if an indie dev is going to be unfairly targeted, I might as well grab stuff now.

Megaman_EXE,

This comes just after the whole “Make fps great again” issue happened. Not a good time to be on that team

Megaman_EXE,

From needs to slow their roll a bit. People might get tired. That’s a crazy release schedule. That being said I am curious as to what it’ll be

Megaman_EXE,

I’m digging indie titles taking some risks and trying new stuff. They’re usually decently cheap and fun with some friends. As AAA titles begin to adopt the new $80-85 price tags, indies have a time to shine.

Megaman_EXE,

Live action seems like such a weird choice for this

Megaman_EXE,

I kinda wish it was more Mario, but I’m excited that they’re trying something new. I’ll definitely try it eventually. Not now, but one day lol

Megaman_EXE,

Got a 7.4 critc score and a 4.7 user score on metacritic for those who are interested

Megaman_EXE,

I’ve been looking for a copy locally for years. I feel like I gotta just grab a copy off ebay at this point

Megaman_EXE,

It really feels like the tone has drastically shifted with how they operate. I miss Reggie and Iwata

Megaman_EXE,

Sorry I don’t have a way to help. I noticed this changed recently as well and was really frustrated by it.

Believe it or not, a decade ago, EA support was actually good. I know it sounds insane but I had the BEST customer service call with someone from the Midwest US. I was trying to get into the time trials in the game Mirrors Edge. For some reason, I was getting a weird connection error.

I spoke to this customer service rep who walked me through some bizarre steps, which seemed effectively like clearing the cache of my xbox. All the while, we just shot the shit and discussed games. It was just a casual call, she was genuinely helpful and SO efficient.

At the end of it I didn’t wana hang up the phone LOL. It was the best customer service call I’ve ever had and it kills me knowing that they axed these people at some point. It was a call that I think is rare to experience nowadays with service reps being overworked and monitored to hell and back.

What are signs that the game devs aren't gamers themselves? angielski

Title is tongue in cheek, of course—they probably are gamers. I get that making a game is complex and full of trade-offs, and you can’t please everyone. Still, there are certain design decisions that just feel like they weren’t made by people who play games regularly.

Megaman_EXE,

Playing the metal gear collection and this immediately stood out. The cutscenes are long

Megaman_EXE,

Oooh, grounded felt like they didn’t play test for solo players. The end game suddenly got very grindy, and I decided not to finish because of it. Loved the game otherwise. I’m hoping they will try to balance it more for the second game

Megaman_EXE,

I’ve been streaming recently, and one thing that stands out to me is when you first boot up a game and it doesn’t have a start menu with settings.

I noticed it before, but now I really notice it. If something is wrong with the settings, sometimes that intro is unplayable or a less than optimal experience. So you have to try and skip, fix the issue, and then restart the game and try again. This seems to be more of a PC issue than a console issue, but even on consoles sometimes you need to adjust things like brightness or add subtitles

Megaman_EXE,

This was also my complaint. I felt like it was missing the cooperative aspect of an MMO that I wanted. I think FFXI is closer to what I want, but it’s understandably older and less accessible for a lot of people. I’m still debating when/if i wana take the plunge and just play that for a while.

I’ve spent about 60 hours replaying the intro quests in XIV trying to get into it lol

Megaman_EXE,

That was the ONE trailer from this Xbox announcement that I was actually looking forward to. It looked in a fairly playable state, too. I feel like a very broken record, but this is yet another reason why it feels like Microsoft is pulling out of gaming.

Megaman_EXE,

If I had to take a wild guess, it’s higher-ups sacking employees to get a quick payday.

Microsoft keeps buying up dev teams, promising games, and then prevents games from releasing. I have been questioning their desire to make future consoles, to be honest. It seems like they’re trying to focus on gamepass and maneuvering out of the console market. Especially with their new handheld being made by a different company.

Megaman_EXE,

It’s funny because companies are using AI for job listing’s and are simultaneously getting swamped by hundreds or thousands of applications due to AI as well. AI is completely messing up the job application process. Not like the process was any better prior to AI but now it’s an even bigger mess

Megaman_EXE,

I feel like Microsoft has been extremely dodgy when it comes to the future of the Xbox. I bet they’ll just hire more people to fill the gap. It always seems to be “look we’re trimming the fat!” And then “look we’re expanding”. Anything to boost the stock

Megaman_EXE,

I was sad finding out the dead rising remake used Ai textures for background textures in shops and stuff.

Megaman_EXE,

Been kinda disappointed with Pirate software recently. He positioned himself as super knowledgeable but then makes mistakes. Of course, everyone makes mistakes, but then he kinda just doubles down when he shouldn’t sometimes.

My guess is that because he became quite popular quickly, he jumped into just pumping out content as fast as possible without giving himself time to properly research and investigate stuff.

Megaman_EXE,

Stuff like this makes me weary at getting another xbox console in the future (or if there even will be one) they keep seeming to shift away from games. I just hope that they allow people to access their past purchases into the future (lol I doubt it though)

Megaman_EXE,

I don’t think this can be salvaged at this point. Original Marathon fans don’t like that it doesn’t stay true to the source material. Everyone is mad about the plagiarism. Bungies track record is kinda shot after Destiny 2. I think the only people they could attempt to appeal to are hardcore destiny 2 fans.

Megaman_EXE,

I think 5 was okay playing solo. I thought it was fine enough

6 was a bit more painful playing solo because of the AI.

I would say you could just try it and see if it bugs you too much. Otherwise, just skip it, read up or watch the story and continue to have fun on your own terms

'No Man's Sky' Just Made You Mayor Of An Alien Planet (www.inverse.com) angielski

Have you ever dreamed of becoming mayor of your own backwater town in the deep recesses of infinite space? Well, the best space exploration game of the decade just released another free expansion that will let you fulfill that particular fantasy to your heart’s content....

Megaman_EXE,

I’ve tried to get into this game a couple of times, but I don’t really understand they systems as a new player. I’ve basically just gotten to the space station hub area, but I don’t really understand what else I’m supposed to do
