I’m just a weird, furry, pan guy (cis he/him). I also have a big, blue username.

I’m learning Japanese so sometimes I might write something out in romaji just to practice. Please correct it if it’s wrong!

Adaptive triggers make sense because not many games use it even on PS5 and it’s a very specific function that isn’t replicated by any other hardware yet; but why doesn’t eye tracking or HDR work with existing software on the PC side?

They want your data so they can market you a PS5 better.

Wait… Like the tech demo game that comes pre-loaded on the PS5?

Kolanaki,

Playstation players are upset by the lack of exclusives. There are like 4 or 5 games that are only on the PS5 and one of them is Astro’s Playroom; a tech demo platformer that comes with the system to show off everything it and the new controller can do. There is nary a reason to move from PS4 to PS5 even if you’re a hardcore Playstation fan.

Why oh why is MGS4 the only one not on any other system? It can’t even be streamed on PS4 or 5. 😩

I subscribed to Game pass when it was just $1 for a while because it was just $1.

I subscribed to PS+ Premium for a year when I got my PS5 because it was cheaper than buying games unseen to see if I liked them.

I had Nintendo Online specifically because I got Rocket League on my Switch when my previous PC died and I needed my fix. This was before RL was F2P and thus you needed NO to play online.

I stopped with GamePass when it went to a regular price and it stopped being worth it for me since most of what’s on it does not interest me, or I already own it elsewhere.

I didn’t renew PS+ because they jacked the price up and I couldn’t afford it, even though I still feel the year is worth what you get out of it since it’s still cheaper than buying every individual game I might want to play, and a whole year is plenty of time for me to complete several games.

Ditched NO as soon as I got a new PC and could play Rocket League on my regular account.

The “food so bad, it has to be censored” trope is one of the best.

I’ve only played Lost Judgment so far and it’s awesome. It’s kinda like a smaller GTA if GTA was an anime.

Man… Read the title as “Politicians” at first and was like “I could have been teabagging Trump and not even know it.”

Kolanaki,

Thats exactly it. I think it was Phil Spencer who said he’d want Microsoft to buy Valve if the chance came up. In the same sentence he said he would buy Nintendo, too. In the same way a Gen Z’er might say “I’d like to buy a house someday.”

They could have done nothing and been okay because Paradox apparently put their competitor Sims game on indefinite hold so we’re still stuck with just EA’s bullshit instead of having a choice of which life sim with an outrageous amount of paid for DLC we want to play.

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....

Kolanaki,
!deleted6508 avatar

I went from getting everything to maybe playing up to 3 new games a year about the same time the PS3 came out. I know what I like and what I want, and the vast majority of games do not deliver these days.

New Details on Valve's New Game 'Deadlock' - Insider Gaming (insider-gaming.com) angielski

As already leaked, the game is a 6v6 third-person hero-based shooter. Heroes include magicians, robots, creatures, humans, and more. There are currently 19 different heroes, each with different abilities and playstyles that you’d come to expect from a MOBA including ranged, healers, tanks, assassins, etc....

I mean, I still remember when TF2 was going to be a generic war game and they were showing it off hella early in development.

Kolanaki,

Giving up fate itself is a huge deal in the lore of these games. I hella wanna know what Miquella thought was important enough to do that.

I can’t help but think of that scene in Grandma’s Boy where JP is working on his game and it just shows a 3D animated model doing a walking animation and literally falling apart like a crash test dummy while he whines “WHY ISN’T THIS WORKING?!”

This isn’t even the tip of the naming weirdness this series has.

I’ve seen an hour long video essay that focused entirely on how they named the games.

I feel like the only kid on the block that didn’t have trouble with the water temple.

What ruined my life in OOT was Shigeru trolling and vaguely hinting that the rumors of a triforce you can obtain in the game actually existing so I wasted years looking for it.

It also says you can’t compare it to other games “maliciously.” What the fuck does that even mean?

“Marvel Rivals is just as bad as Cyberpunk 2077 at launch.”

Kolanaki,

Graphics aren’t the same as aesthetics.

The graphics can be objectively bad in so far as the technology used may be out dated, less sophisticated, or slower than other implementations.

Aesthetics (how everything looks) are subjective.

Kolanaki,

Oh my bad.

“It’s just as bad as OverWatch 2.”

Kolanaki,
!deleted6508 avatar

I actually liked the game more at launch. I had 4 noticeable bugs the entire run; 1 was merely graphical (Tom’s Diner t-posing background noc), 1 prevented a quest from being completed (door that was supposed to open never opened), and 2 were kick ass exploits (the bullet time+slide+jump speed exploit and the infinite painting exploit).

It’s just… Not as fun without that slide speed glitch… :(

“Of course I know what I’m doing! I just don’t know what effect it’s gonna have.” Ahh… That dude is just Fantastic.

Can somebody explain why game makers don't start their own companies together? angielski

It seems like every other week a game studio is massively laying off employees; sometimes after years of development. What I’m reading is that it’s a quick way to lower expenses and pad the investors’ pockets, flooding the market with developers and reducing their value, to then hire them back a few months later at lower...

Kolanaki,
!deleted6508 avatar

They do, though. Like, all the time. Many Indy companies start this way, and a lot of AA to even AAA studios started after high profile people were let go or otherwise left a bigger company to start their own.

Kolanaki,
!deleted6508 avatar

The first time playing when he starts telling me to turn the game off cuz I’ve been playing a long time, I had literally been playing one long-ass session up to that point without ever turning the game off. Freaked me out. Psycho Mantis in mgs1 could tell you exactly how long you played, and I thought this was a legit Easter egg for playing a single 12+ hour session. lol

I still have my slim PS2 and Magic Swap discs. It had the best library of that era IMO.

Hardware power wise it was the least capable machine. Library wise, it dominated.

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.

Kolanaki,
!deleted6508 avatar

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.

Interactive Loading Screens - High Hell angielski

Developing interactivity is effort and an investment. Most developers put up a simple loading screen, maybe some text like rotating tips, and a loading indicator. Until 2015 a patent on interactive loading screens may have made developers and publishers cautious and decide against developing interactivity....

Kolanaki,
!deleted6508 avatar

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.

A personal argument for a benefit of gaming

I grew up hearing all the talking heads (media), religious groups and parents strongly criticizing video games. You’ve, probably, heard some of this. For example, video games involving any type of violence causing people to become more violent, etc. As far as I know, the academic community has failed to produce any negative...

Getting angry isn’t the problem. It’s how you deal with it. Smashing your game system and or TV ain’t the best way to go about it.

Escape From Tarkov studio boss says he "did not foresee" players would get mad about charging extra for PvE (www.rockpapershotgun.com) angielski

This has to be the funniest PR disaster in video game history. “Guy did not forsee players getting mad for locking a gamemode behind a $250 edition, doubles down on it and tells people to chill out”

Kolanaki,
!deleted6508 avatar

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.

CP2077 never promised the DLC would be free. And they also added tons of content prior to the DLC that was free. 🤨
