Is Elder Scrolls 6 doomed to fail? I can't see how it will work angielski

After the massive blunder of Starfield, I cannot see how Elder scrolls 6 could possibly be successful. Everything points to the fact that they knew that the game was not even half finished, in my opinion, with major glaring issues, and they decided to just send it off anyway. The difference between this game and Oblivion is that...

NocturnalMorning,

Fall Out 4 was fine, definitely didn’t fail. Your expectation of games is way too high.

rdr2 question angielski

Finally bought this on the steam sale, playing on steamdeck. Im all about open world games where you can do whatever you want. I hate being locked into “missions”, escort quests, etc. I like a game having these as an option to do at my leisure however. Im several hours in and the environment looks amazing, would love to go...

NocturnalMorning,

Yes, the game gets much better. If you want something totally “open world” there’s an online game mode too.

NocturnalMorning,

That’s not really much of a spoiler

NocturnalMorning,

Yeah, I tried it for the first time the other day, seemed a little too open. I wasn’t even sure what I was supposed to do. Encountered one single player in the hour I was online playing it.

NocturnalMorning,

Haha, currently playing rdr2 again right now. There are plenty of terrible missions in the game. Depending on if you’re talking regular missions or story missions, some of the story missions where you shoot up the whole damn town are stupid, and then you just go pay a bounty and it’s all okay. But, you can’t enter Blackwater under any circumstances or tye calvary comes in and shoots you up, dead within 10 seconds of stepping foot there.

Lots of essentially fetch quests, especially the ones where you go shake down people for loan money for strauss.

There are missions you can fail for venturing too far away from people, but you’re never told that until you’re too far away already. This is just what I could think of off the top of my head.

NocturnalMorning,

The story is pretty dumb. I wouldn’t say it’s bad necessarily, I just think it’s dumb how often we get into whole town shootouts, amd then just pay 80-90 bucks to make it go away. Oh, and fuck Micah, that guy can get lost.

NocturnalMorning,

I don’t know of any unskippable cutscenes in RDR2. At least in the open world part of the game, I’ve been able to skip aby cutscene I’ve wanted too.

NocturnalMorning,

Anti piracy software that slows down your game

NocturnalMorning, (edited )

There’s nothing contested about it. Add a bunch of extra operations to the game loop and you can slow down a game. You only have so much headroom in each frame. Dunova takes up a lot of that time. And let’s not forget you can literally go tests with games that had denovu and then removed it. The testing shows pretty clearly that it does indeed slow down games.

NocturnalMorning,

I work in software… how about that.

NocturnalMorning,

Obviously these are all legitimate backups from games I own.

Doing the lords work

NocturnalMorning,

I was excited to play this game until I saw this. Now I kinda don’t want to play it.

NocturnalMorning,

FF7, I replay the game every 4-5 years.

NocturnalMorning,

Looked really good from the trailer I just watched.

NocturnalMorning,

I liked all three mafia games. I only just played them in the last couple years tho, so I had no idea what anybody else was saying about them.

NocturnalMorning, (edited )

You’re wrong, but that’s okay. You’re allowed to have wrong opinions.

NocturnalMorning, (edited )

As an Indie dev, a 30% cut of profit could be the death of my one man studio (if I ever get around to actually starting it)

NocturnalMorning,

Guy just seems like kind of a dick after reading the article.

NocturnalMorning,

I don’t think I would have noticed the differences honestly if it weren’t a side by side comparison. I do think sometimes the original looks better. Just depends on the shot, the upgrade models look better sometimes, and othertimes not. One thing I did find a little odd is they changed the shape of Tidus’ face in the HD remaster.

NocturnalMorning,

I bought Hogwarts Legacy against my better judgement, and the game had one of the worst main stories I’ve ever played. Honestly exploring the world was more fun than the story, and you can only do so much exploring.

NocturnalMorning, (edited )

I would certainly buy ffIX again.

Edit: they should do a collaboration with these guys www.ffix-memoria.com

They’re all part of the industry, and this looked amazing.

NocturnalMorning,

I don’t honestly understand why Sony is pushing this do hard.

NocturnalMorning,

Don’t be so sure. It could be Dwayne Johnson.

NocturnalMorning,

It’s a crossword puzzle, but using patterns. Regular expressions will match whatever pattern you give it. For example, you could say, match any word that doesn’t have an o or an e in it. That’s what this is, except a bunch of them.

NocturnalMorning,

Nah, I’ve been using regular expressions for like a decade now and i still have to look up how to use them when I need too. They’re super convoluted to understand.

NocturnalMorning,

This is hella difficult, and I’m hooked

NocturnalMorning,

I actually haven’t played any of these games. Maybe I should give em a try.

NocturnalMorning,

I don’t know how i got here, but I seem to have purchased 7 watermelons.

NocturnalMorning,

My friend has told me to watch a bunch of YouTube videos for the lore. It’s apparently very deep.

NocturnalMorning,

I don’t feel that way about ffVVI at all. The story was fantastic. My only complaint was that some of the fights just felt like the eikons were damage sponges.

NocturnalMorning,

They really messed up with ff7 remake part 1. Don’t think I’ll be buying any of the others unless it’s used.

Also, said this before, but splitting it into three titles was an obvious cash grab.

NocturnalMorning,

Yes, but did you play the extra fluff they added to the games to fluff them out? Surely that’s worth paying for the game 3 times.

NocturnalMorning,

I thought the fighting was really fun in ff16. I’m not familiar with DMC though. All a matter of taste I suppose. Second point is fair, I happen to own a ps5, so I was able to play it right away, didn’t even realize it was an exclusive.

NocturnalMorning,

I’m sure the second game is enjoyable. I’ve heard a lot of good things about it. It’s still a money grab to split the game into three separate titles.

NocturnalMorning,

That sucks, I have OG FF7 I bought a few years ago on my ps4. Would be unfortunate if they suddenly decided I needed an internet connection for it.

I’ve about had it with modern game company antics honestly.

What are some eras of gaming that you've stopped feeling nostalgic for? (kbin.social) angielski

As I've gotten older as a player, I have found myself dropping some eras of gaming that I used to be nostalgic for. One of them is the 8-bit era, the NES days. I have played some of the best that system had to offer and I will never say that system didn't have any good games....

NocturnalMorning, (edited )

I was a bit young when nes, and snes came out. I am still quiet fond of super mario world 2. But my favorite consoles, hands down are N64, PS1, and PS2. They were really just figuring out open world gaming back then, and they hadn’t yet figured our how to make every game constantly online, and/or gaming as a service.

I will say though, a lot of the old games I used to love don’t hold up as well playing them as an adult. They are either super hard, or have weird camera and controls, especially 007 GoldenEye for N64.

Another one that turned out to be tedious and hard is Zelda Ocarina of Time, which really surprised me. I thought the game was the greatest game ever as a kid.

NocturnalMorning,

I highly doubt they used those cables maliciously knowing they’d go out right when the warranty expired. It was probably a cost thing, and they later realized (too late to fix it) during production sometime that the cables were a warranty issue.

Engineers don’t do thing maliciously with their designs. They pick things based on cost, and probably even raised the cable length as a risk/concern during the design and testing phase, and were overruled by the bean counters.

It’s happened to me before.

NocturnalMorning,

I’m just suggesting a probable scenario. I would be really surprised if this was malicious.

NocturnalMorning,

I’m fine not having this conversation anymore. I just gave a perspective from an engineer. No need to continue shitting on me. I’m not even defending the practice.

NocturnalMorning,

Maybe they can stop changing the story of beloved remakes. That might help too. I didn’t buy rebirth, and I won’t buy it unless it’s used. The only way I can voice my disapproval of what they’ve done with the ff7 remake and the bait and switch they did with part 1 is to not give them my money.

NocturnalMorning,

That’s what ff16 was. It’s a great game in my opinion, the story is at least.

NocturnalMorning,

I was fine with the change from turn based combat. I fully expected that even with them trying to hook in newer fans of the series with modern mechanics.

But there really was no reason to change the story. It was obvious they did it as a business decision when they turned the first 5 hours of the game into 40 hours of fluff.

I wasn’t even upset with the story additions for the extra character. It was kinda nice even to get some background on the characters before we leave Midgar without them.

It’s the fundamental changes to the story that really bothered me, that they made for really no reason.

NocturnalMorning,

That’s why it’s called an opinion. I think the story pacing is garbage compared to the original. Introducing Sephiroth into the beginning of the game made zero sense, and then fighting him as one of the bosses really took away from the mystery of what made the original reveal of him as the real villain all that much better.

And the whispers were an absolute stupid choice to put into the game.

NocturnalMorning,

Can’t please everyone. Different strokes for different folks.

NocturnalMorning,

Their comment is incredibly ignorant. They’ve been fed a steady stream of propaganda from a fire hydrant of fox News, that’s why they should go somewhere else. Down vote all you want.
