I thought they were pretty clearly setting up Ciri to take the mantle in W3.

they can easily tweak the mechanics to suit a whole game. And it’s a Witcher RPG, the combat will be heavily customizable anyway.

yeah it worked fine on my 3080 too.

wouldn’t a non-MMO be better to experience story and characters?

acosmichippo, 2 miesiące temu

but by nature MMOs are extremely static in terms of the world, NPCs etc because they have to be there for every PC at every stage of their story. To me that always makes them feel less alive despite a bunch of PCs scurrying around.

So your argument against playing for longer than an hour and getting good is playing less than two hours and refunding? You need to play the game for a few hours to understand the combat systems and the way that enemies react.

and your argument to enjoy a game is to force yourself to play it longer than the return period is, therefore eliminating any chance of a refund?

acosmichippo, 2 miesiące temu

well the reality is we do not have longer refund periods. so in the current state of affairs, yes, it is an argument for people to give up. Trying for 2 hours is at least one step better than not buying the game at all.

if you’re trying to convince people to buy an xbox instead of a playstation, yeah. And keep current xboxers within the ecosystem. post-purchase affirmation is a big component of advertising too.

I don’t even think that was the issue, the show was just fucking awful no matter how much or little it had to do with Halo.

sounds like fanfic.

In practice, this is a total conversion for Fallout 2, reshaping the isometric classic with new characters, quests, story missions, weapons, and items based on what the Fallout community has learned about Van Buren over the years.

what is even the point of making a taxi game MMO? just so you can see other players driving fares around you and potentially fucking your shit up?

acosmichippo, 3 miesiące temu

but at least inGTA you can have PvP and Co-op… what is the PvP or co-op play in driving taxi fares?

acosmichippo, 3 miesiące temu

Those are racing games, not Taxi games. Of course racing games are a perfect fit for online PvP. But you’re not racing against other players while driving a taxi fare.

as long as they don’t have space travel between every objective and hundreds of barren procedurally generated planets it will be fine.

they were working on starfield?

acosmichippo, 4 miesiące temu

this bethesda anti circlejerk has gotten way out of hand. i hated starfield too but that doesn’t change how awesome oblivion and skyrim were.

acosmichippo, 4 miesiące temu

Don’t even need to get into ranking them, it’s just completely asinine to say Oblivion and Skyrim are not even good at all. Circlejerk nonsense from someone who probably hasn’t played any of them.

acosmichippo, 4 miesiące temu

i agree that skyrim is not as good as oblivion, but that isn’t what we were talking about.

Do you stand by the statement that Morrowind was the last “good” elder scrolls game? In other words, you think Oblivion and Skyrim are not good at all?

acosmichippo, 4 miesiące temu

cyberpunk was buggy but fundamentally sound. starfield is flawed in its core, no amount of bug fixing or system tweaking is going to fix it. they’d have to cut out space and planets entirely.

could also just be as simple as getting people’s feet in the door to their marketplace. if you already have an account maybe you’ll be fractionally more likely to buy other stuff in the store. multiply that by a few million or whatever… it’s not nothing.

This is when the whole “if all you find are assholes, you must be one yourself” rhetoric does not apply when it comes to multiplayer games.

it’s the internet in general.

not “features” per se, but consoles have a better performance-to-price ratio compared to handhelds. In the bill of materials for a handheld you’re paying for a screen and battery that are unnecessary expenses if you just need a console. in a console, that money will go towards higher powered hardware to run games, and maybe some other ancillary things. Also in a console you can have a better cooling system since you’re not constrained to a mobile form factor. Also in a console you can use higher power since performance is not being balanced with batter life.

acosmichippo, 5 miesięcy temu (edited 5 miesięcy temu)

if those nintendos had to build in a screen or battery they’d have even worse performance for the price.

yes, PC has some commonalities with consoles, but there are other aspects that make a PC a PC rather than a console.

This is not an arbitrary discussion, it’s a semantic discussion. these terms have non-arbitrary meanings.

i would say the wiiu is a special case console. they tried adding a screen to a typical console design and it didn’t really work. that’s why they pivoted to the switch which is much more like a portable than a console.

the vast, vast majority of consoles don’t have screens built into their controllers.

The person I was responding to was citing costs accrued for screen and battery as a reasoning for why steam deck is not a console

No, i was answering your question “what features is steam deck missing compared to consoles”.

I liked it as much as the others ASIDE from the tank missions. they leaned on the tank WAY too much. There are two or three tank battles where you will be pulling your hair out for sure. Definitely focus on upgrading the tank as much as you can because you will need all the help you can get.

acosmichippo, 5 miesięcy temu

they’re right though. it has nothing to do with “defending” anyone, that’s just what AAA means.
