This one made me wonder if they don’t get telemetrics about how people are playing the game to improve the game (or build a new game) from without doing this. And if that same data would be valuable to data brokers in general or if it’s more valuable as an internal trade secret.

Yes, it would be just for Sony to get it; not meaning to say it isn’t collected at all by the developer. Before this, I would have thought they’d share that with the publisher (this case Sony) anyway.

Dpad for precise timing (like movement). Analogue for precise looking (like aiming).

If I could use the dpad to move in a souls game (especially the ones with movement based combos) I would. But I’d still want the analogue stick for the camera.

A change like this may warrant special exceptions to the refund rules. Steam has made exceptions for similar changes to games made after launch in the past.

The Sims 3 had interactive loading screens prior to 2015 when one of the first DLCs introduced them. They’re just “find the object” puzzles that earn you in-game points for the family you’re loading. They’re the only non-Namco game interactive loading screens I can think of that were around before the patent expired.

The first one I saw was by the patent holder, Namco, where you could play Galaga while Ridge Racer loaded. I always wanted to see it used more and was stoked when I read the news about the patent expiring.

I actually was recording when I made the most gnarly mun landing ever in KSP. I ran out of fuel, was going too fast to not explode. I moved Valetina to hang on the outside of the craft, and moments before impact, I had her jump off. The resulting explosion from the module was juuuust enough counter force to prevent Valentina herself from hitting the ground too hard and she lived to plant a flag. To date, it’s the most impressive thing I’ve personally managed in the game.

It’s meant for children so, yeah, as an adult it fucking sucks to hold. But that is still the case when it’s docked and you’re using the joycons. The joycons are just incredibly small. They also suck in terms of construction and get drifting sticks super fast.

If you didn’t forsee people getting pissed at a content add that costs $250 and not counted as DLC so those with the lifetime DLC pass don’t get it without paying more, you are a monumental moron and probably shouldn’t be in charge of running a business where you have employees who can lose their livelihood because of your poor leadership and incredible lack of foresight.

Almost as annoying is DS1, 3 and Elden Ring booting you to the main menu just cuz you got disconnected. But at least they can still be played, it’s just annoying to be pulled out of the game for that when it’s mostly just for bloodstains, messages and being invaded.

ARPG = Action Role Playing Game.

The themes, camera angle, and method of delivering rewards (loot) don’t really affect something being an action RPG or not. The focus on action over storytelling does.

The Elder Scrolls is also an ARPG.

The index isn’t standalone 🤦‍♂️

Kolanaki, 11 miesięcy temu

I own a lot of VR games and the only one that doesn’t have a port that works natively on the Quest is Half-Life Alyx. Standalones can also be plugged in or stream PCVR wirelessly, and all of the standalone HMDs I am aware of, have better hardware than the aging Index (and thus look better even when not doing PCVR). Even the trackers are better and smaller and don’t require a home base station.

Kolanaki, 11 miesięcy temu

The Index still has a higher resolution than the Quest 2 and earlier standalone VR headsets

Uh… The Index has a resolution of 1440x1600 per eye with 15PPD. The Quest 2 is 1832x1920 per eye with 20PPD. The Quest 1 had the exact same resolution as the Index. The Quest 3 is 2064x2208 per eye and Pico 4 is 2160x4320 per eye. The Index doesn’t lead the FOV game anymore, either; but the beasts with 200+ FOV are also super expensive and better in every other way too like the Pimax Vision.

I like Valve, too, but they’re not the best at everything.

This is literally the first major update since Mistlands was on the docket at the time it blew up. To call the updates merely infrequent is an understatement. They were going fairly strong until they made an unexpected butt load of money and they themselves said they didn’t know how to handle the success.

I have always thought the Dreamcast could have survived once I learned the history of its downfall in detail. SEGA simply had no confidence in it and killed it hella quick and it was just a monumentally stupid idea. It was, and still is, a great machine with a fantastic library that could have been even bigger if they didn’t just kill it on arrival.

I’d just start at the beginning with the Collection. Pretty sure the stories connect but even if they don’t, seeing the mechanics evolve backwards or out of order can be annoying. Like you start with 4 and then when you play 2 or something and a mechanic isn’t there that was nice, it kinda kills the experience. Starting from the earliest point and working up makes it feel way better as they begin to nail down and improve things.

You’re gonna “the WHAT” on one of the most normal monsters in the game? Your head is gonna literally explode when you encounter one of the entirely RNG creatures. lol

My favorite I’ve personally ran into while playing was a demon made of smoke. Basically the fog monster from Lost. Except that it wasn’t as terrifying as it sounded from its description because smoke is, you know, super easy to cut. He died basically by being wafted away by an infant.

There’s fun stuff you can do with that vampire if you ever figure out who it is. They make great slaves because they live forever and don’t need to eat.

Figuring out who it is can be hard tho. You really have to watch the logs or build in ways that they can’t feed without being witnessed.

And if you do want them alive, make sure your hammerer just has something weak because if you have the justice system set up, they usually will sentence a vamp to death. Adamantine makes a great non-lethal hammer. It’s so light, blunt weapons become foam bats.

You may not actually have the accused in custody to interrogate.

My understanding of the justice system may also be out of date. I have not put nearly as much time into the Steam version as I have the legacy versions preceding it.

As a fan of Adventure mode in the legacy version of the game for years, I am excited for the new changes and mechanics that have been in the Steam version since release but in Adventure mode.

Is it a public beta or something I can just click on in the beta tab?

I just want games made by people who are trying to make a good game, and not games made by people or companies that are only trying to make money. Not one GaaS game is actually special enough to warrant spending more than the base price of the game on (and many aren’t even worth that when their next best competitor is fuckin’ free to play.)

What in the hell equivalent on modern system requirements would a 1660 Super be? The thing is still getting me good performance in most things, even new things, but the requirement lists have all moved on to RTX models for nVidia’s side of things. I can guess from this I might still get 60fps at 1080p on Medium settings; but maybe not if that all depends on DLSS being employed which my card doesn’t have.

It sounds like you can access your actual PS network friends and earn PS trophies. I hope that is in addition to achievements on Steam itself and not a replacement. I would imagine many people getting the PC version don’t have a PlayStation in the first place.

If my game preference determines how I want the world to be: I must want the world to be a fucked up, cursed wasteland where everything is in a state of constant suffering, and the best outcome is killing everyone so they at least stop suffering.

Thinking about it, real life isn’t much different than Dark Souls. But I would like the IRL monsters to look better than just a poorly re-skinned default character.

Switch games not also on PS5

Pretty much first-party Nintendo games and a handful of independent games. I had the same desires as you, so all I really had and played and liked was:

• Animal Crossing
• Tears of the Kingdom (Breath of the Wild was good but TOTK is basically the same game but 1000x better and after playing it I have no desire to go back to BOTW)
• Super Mario Odyssey
• Clubhouse Games

And if I had known it existed while I still had the thing, I would have gotten Switch Sports.

Reporting them at the very least sends a message to the mods of the community the reported post/comment was on. Not sure about how/when it goes to instance admins, though. Which is where they really need to be reported to. Mods can block them from their community, but a spammer (human or bot) generally affects the entire server so it needs to go all the way to the top.

Blocking them also works to at least reduce the bots’ effectiveness. If everyone blocks it, it isn’t doing anything but wasting bandwidth, and if it’s not having the desired effect whoever deployed it might give up.

My main criticism is that they have done literally nothing to establish or explain the rules/quirks of the world. If I wasn’t already a fan of the games, this show would be confusing as fuck. They expect you to just know about the NCR, the Brotherhood, what a ghoul is, what caps are, etc. Like, I hate exposition, but this is going too far in the opposite direction with it.

The other is the place and time. I watched all 8 episodes and it seemed like it took place in multiple parts of the country between at least Massachusetts and California considering they say they are in the Commonwealth at the beginning, but clearly are in Los Angeles pretty much the rest of the time, and it’s unclear how long McClane and Maximus’ journey had been due to the weird time compression. It’s almost like a TV show done like a linear game where you just move from set piece to set piece, while losing all the stuff you do in between.

Other than that I loved it. If it didn’t have actors I recognize and have the studio logos in the opening credits, I could easily believe this was made by hardcore fans of the games as a independent project.

I remember next to nothing about the game’s “plot”, if there was any to begin with.

I only remember the first 2 TM games and the plot was some rich fuck made a death match competition and the winner gets a single wish granted as their prize; but the wish every character makes in their ending (by beating the game as that character) is always corrupted Monkey’s Paw style.
