MrScottyTay,

Didn’t last of us part 2 come out seven months ago?

MrScottyTay,

This is the actual strategy they’re going for I think

MrScottyTay,

Considering what companies that make live services target for… They’ll chalk this up as a loss at the amount of All of the money in the world.

MrScottyTay,

I was in the previous beta but after getting a new phone “jelly star” it kept reporting i had done 0 steps every time i would open it. Like how it would prior if i was updating the game it would forget the steps i did from the last time i opened it. Don’t know if it has something with it starting to auto update. I also disabled so battery optimisations on my phone to do with the app and anything system wise for the pedometer.

Absolutely love the game though and an eager for when this is fully out and i can more easily recommend it to friends.

MrScottyTay,

That’s great news. I’ll take a look!

MrScottyTay,

Wish the VCS was in the UK. Prices are insane due to importing

MrScottyTay,

I think the real news is that they are no longer making new content cause the new mainline game is now all hands on deck with whoever’s leftover just working on minor updates for 4 now

MrScottyTay,

I’m both hopeless and optimistic at the same time. I want it to be good so I’ll reserve judgement until we get actual concrete info.

Yeah, I got sick of the way they dealt with dlc for 4. Early on it was still kind of annoying but if you were of a certain persuasion you could look past it. But compared to how it ended up being, the early days of 4 expansions now look like heaven.

Instead of playing 4 I’ve been messing around with XP and playing 1, 2 and the Stories games. I’m sad the series had ended up how it is but I’m glad of the earlier games still though and they bring me endless joy.

MrScottyTay,

It didn’t explicitly say. I’m reading between the lines of the PR speak.

MrScottyTay,

Redundancy means that they get paid for being made to leave the company. That terminology is used because it’s different from being fired.

MrScottyTay,

Read the guys comment again though. They say their issue is with calling them “redundancies” in a language sense. But it’s not sugar coating it or anything, that’s the legitimate term for what happened.

MrScottyTay,

If you faked your death you’d likely never want to tie yourself to any platform that requires you to make an account that could in time be used to identify you

MrScottyTay, (edited )

I hope this doesn’t make them think they can do this again though. This should make them realise they should’ve always gave the Devs more time to cook or been more realistic with scope from the get go

MrScottyTay,

I remember hearing even some high specced pcs were having issues and you had to essentially be lucky that you had a configuration that they had the time to optimise for. Just having the best gpu wasn’t enough, for example

MrScottyTay,

Recommended is absolutely meant to be “the game runs well on this” not just it runs

MrScottyTay,

It’s probably them just trying to go for a synonym to describe what happened as they’re not usually allowed to repeat themselves.

MrScottyTay,

Actually in the 360 era, the PS3 ended up selling more by the end.

So in the public eye people usually consider the 360 winning but by other metrics, the PS3 did.

MrScottyTay,

In the UK, where I’m from, it’s widely considered 360 won too.

The reason the PS3 won in the end I think was due to a worsening opinion of Microsoft towards the end when the original plan for the Xbox One was being discussed and shown, along with a lot of teenage gamers now being older with more disposable income allowing them to buy a PS3 later in the generation and trying out all of the exclusives they missed out on.

I don’t know how true this rings out in general, but that was pretty much my experience.

MrScottyTay,

The north east for me. Pretty much everyone had a 360 and everyone still calls it “the 360 days” or something of the other. But might just be the people I come across. Only had a few friends that had a PS3 in school, they always seemed to be left out from what the others were doing gaming wise. Wasn’t until the PS4 until I started seeing people back to playing PlayStation by default like the PS2 days.

MrScottyTay,

I was one of them to begin with but once I found out about the whole thing with people of certain countries not able to have an account even though they had already bought the game and were even previously able to play are now locked out, then I was on board.

I’m not against just making accounts, I must have thousands across the internet, what would be one more if I hadn’t already had a PSN account.

MrScottyTay,

It’s on PS5, what you on about

MrScottyTay,

Guitar hero for me was a 360 thing. I’ve always wanted to go back and try out the PS2 ones though, just not had the hardware.

MrScottyTay,

OG Xbox had JSRF too though and it’s stuck there. Never had a re-release

MrScottyTay,

And the PS2 was also reportedly the hardest to work with, especially early on in its life before the tools had matured. It proliferated purely on the install base (partly thanks to the DVD playback)

MrScottyTay,

Kingdom Hearts I & 2, Final Fantasy X, Jak trilogy, the Ratchet games, GTA 3D trilogy. So many games I still go back to this day.

Persona 3 and 4 I found out at the back end of the PS3 era and dusted off my PS2 just play them as well.

MrScottyTay,

People nowadays hate having more than one account. They can’t even bare having more than one exe that launches other exes installed on the same computer anymore

MrScottyTay,

Right, so you hate steam too then?

If you do, I’m more talking about the cognitive dissonance of others that love steam just because it’s the lesser evil of the launchers, but vehemently hate the idea of buying a game on another store front.

MrScottyTay,

You can still do all of that stuff without owning the game via steam

Other than modding via workshop

MrScottyTay,

Yeah specific single game launchers are pretty awful

MrScottyTay,

It read to me that they do think that but also that it needs policing better and companies need to be more up front when selling the game to stay compliant and that ones that do not, need investigating

MrScottyTay,

Those house rules seem very strange, to the point where this isn’t really poker anymore.

There’s a reason to the ranking of hands in poker due to the probability of getting them. Your roles make it so that an easier hand to get beats one that’s harder to get. Very bizarre.

MrScottyTay,

Dlc should never feel required

MrScottyTay,

Why so angry?

MrScottyTay,

I think FFVII Rebirth came with two disks recently. It’s shitty that some companies just nicked and dime and just say “fuck you in 20 years time”

MrScottyTay, (edited )

Capcom have been doing this for a while now. It’s very sad. (Edit: weird autocorrects)

MrScottyTay,

I feel like this was part of their plan though. Get the limelight with dnd and show the kind of games that they make to people that wouldn’t have known beforehand. Now their next fully owned game is going to make them absolute bank in both money and good faith I think.

MrScottyTay, (edited )

I used to find it kinda stressful until i realised there was no time limit to the game like the usual harvest moons so once I realised that, I never find myself rushing around or overextending my ability to farm to grind more and just focused on what I was enjoying in the game which was a bit of everything.

MrScottyTay,

Really? That sucks I’m sure I’m on year 3 and I’ve had events happen

MrScottyTay,

I only really played early on, not dabbled with it properly in years but I do remember things happening. It’s not like I could only get things to happen in the first two years in game

MrScottyTay,

I’m not even half way and I’m at about 25+ hours at the moment. It’s great. I think I overall prefer the more linearity of remake but I’m still having fun and the all of the towns being as open as they are is the best part of this open world aspect.

MrScottyTay,

You don’t have to do any of the open world “bloat” if it’s not your thing. I prefer linear games but I don’t mind it here cause it’s allowing a lot of “quiet moments” which I think this game does way better than the original.

MrScottyTay,

I feel like if you have the difficulty on easy or normal you could skip most side stuff if not all cause the dynamic difficulty is made more specifically for those that want to do everything and not have it become too easy by the time you’ve done so much side content. But also dynamic might even lower the difficulty too if you’re finding it hard maybe? Don’t know about that though.

MrScottyTay,

That’s an interesting take I hadn’t realised. It’s a different kind of grind, but I think I prefer this kind over just mindlessly fighting over and over.

MrScottyTay,

After playing the game more, it feels like the side content is better paced after the first section. So far the first area “Grasslands” is the only one to fully open up to you immediately with the next story quest being “get out of here”.

The rest have story quests that break up the potential monotony. I was about to burn out on the side content on the third area. But pushed through cause I was enjoying the game as a whole anyway and all of a sudden I had done everything I could do in the area at this point pretty quickly (because I couldn’t get fully explore it all before continuing the story) and I ended up enjoying it this time too which I hadn’t expected. I just got to this area and immediately thought “ugh more of the same” but it wasn’t completely the case.

The type of terrain and level design of these big areas are a big factor in the content in them feeling varied I feel, and they do change a lot. The actual side quests get better too, some resulting in you doing a few optional linear dungeons which is nice.

The big enemies you unlock to fight like mini bosses are really fun too, so if you like the combat, getting them unlocked might just end up being worth it to you too.

MrScottyTay,

FF16 only ever became a slog due to its side content and the difficulty of such once you were levelled last a certain point. Story content was always great, even for the side stuff. But the gameplay for the side stuff got very tedious after the third half. I also ended up doing everything too. So I know how boring it can be. Still loved the game as a whole though. Mostly due to the story and characters.

MrScottyTay,

Also isn’t who the head of discovery was now the head of the merged company? He probably wants to keep that name but can’t get rid of Warner Bros because of brand recognition

MrScottyTay,

Isn’t it different optimization, not better? Since it’s using different rendering techniques for older GPUs?

MrScottyTay,

I still don’t know if I’d call lower settings to be optimisations. I see optimisations to be ways of making the current solution to work faster and more efficient. Swapping out a process for a “lower” one because some hardware can’t support the original is not optimisation in my books, and pedantically doesn’t follow the definition either.
