I always need the dev console in Max Payne because I like setting the bullet time speed to half of what it normally is so it’s more Matrix-like.

And of course I have to have the plaza shootout level and kung fu construct (for the kung fu mod) from the film, too.

Sidenote: Altering the bullet time affects cutscenes. So, like, the part where the door blows off in the subway can actually kill you cuz the cutscene ends before the door is actually moving. But it also makes catching one of the bosses that you have to chase around the rooftops so much easier because he’ll still be monologuing when you get control after the cutscene.

That’s exactly what we keep yelling at the companies that keep trying, but some of them don’t listen, fire their staff for AI, and then regret it a few months later.

Just because it is incredibly awful does not mean stupid fucks in charge of companies won’t do it.

Whaaaaaat?! Hell no! It would have been better for that whole montage scene after completing the prologue to have just been side quests you can do with him to get to know him more so his death hits even harder.

The two that makes the least sense are Street Kid and Corpo. Why is the Corpo one his best friend but the Street Kid has to meet him trying to steal the same car? It should have been reversed.

But, he’s less of an asshole when starting out as a Nomad. IMO, it’s the best of the three introductions.

I get bored of the combat by the time I get to the Red Baron. Love the story; but the gameplay gets super repititve super quick.

That’s what I ended up doing because I did wanna see the end, I just was done with the journey to get there lol

I only just started Silent Hill F and the coolest visual I have seen was the very first “everything dissolves into the hellish world” scene.

It’s always been a staple of the series, but this time is looks so fucking cool with how it dissolves everything, not just the surface textures.

Kinda wonder if having a newer RTX GPU would make it look better; the settings for Lumen don’t really change how it looks, it just massively drops my framerate 🤷‍♂️

Switch being #2 behind PS2 is impressive given it has had a shorter lifespan. PS2 was on the market for 13 years. Switch has only been 9.

I remember that was the case for PS3 and BluRay, but not so much DVD and the PS2. PS3 was, what, $300? $400? Where as the cheapest BluRay player that just played BluRay movies was almost a grand.

I may just not remember it being similar for PS2. I was a sophmore in high school when it came out.

Elden Ring being 3rd and Baldur’s Gate 3 being tied for last is quite a surprise.

I keep expecting to find some gnarly shit like was in the previous game and I haven’t found it. IDK if it’s just not there to find, or if the shit is even more esoteric than before.

I’m also quite confused by the fan tributes and favorites. Not against it, or anything, I just don’t understand things like why Mr. Tenna is so popular. 🤷‍♂️

Wasn’t the original vision of Doom closer to an RPG than the action game it came out to be? I know I read somewhere (one of the books written about development of the game) it was originally meant to have a bigger story, multiple characters, dialogue, etc.

I see a lot of people bitch about invasions, but personally I think surprise boss fight is the best mechanic.

Kolanaki, 11 dni temu

No. Doom.

Quake never had any vision, originally. That’s why it seems so random.

Check out Doom Bible; Tom Hall’s original design document for Doom. One of the first drafts is where what I am talking about came from.

Kolanaki, 11 dni temu

Wo Long straight up just lets you turn player invasions off. I would not mind it being an option, personally. I wouldn’t turn it off most of the time, myself, but I am always for more options than less.

I, personally, want it to work like DS2 but without Soul Memory. No level or weapon upgrade limits. You could be fresh out of the tutorial and be invaded by some level 347 dude with the strongest weapons and beefiest armor. It would be awesome.

We probably won’t see a GTA doing it anyway because Watch Dogs, Crackdown and Cyberpunk are already basically that.

The only thing in this list I have even heard of is GTA6.

Remember a few years ago, around the time they made that MGS3 pachinko machine that updated the cutscenes to be on the FOX engine and pissed off fans hoping for a FOX engine remaster of the game, and Konami said it was leaving the video game industry to focus on pachinko machines?

Whatever happened to that? 🤔

Is it 600+ players on a single server, or is it like WoW/UO/EQ where the game world is spread across multiple servers, so it’s not ever actually that many people on a single server? It was kind of important for PvP to know where the server lines were because crossing them caused a spike of lag as it switched the server you were on.

If it was a single server that would be impressive. Otherwise, it’s pretty laughable.

Casual shooters never went away… Unless whoever wrote this thinks stuff like Fortnite isn’t casual.

Kolanaki, 14 dni temu

That doesn’t even have anything to do with what casual game even means.

There are no story lines in Fortnite, afaik. They do sometimes have special events, like in-game concerts. But again, that doesn’t mean it isn’t a casual game. Destiny 2 is exactly like you’re describing and it’s still a casual game.

So if I log in to the game, I’ll have hella money for skins? 🤔

Edit: Dont even need the money cuz they also gave every player every skin, even dev only ones 🤣

I actually liked Dying Light a lot more before the multiplayer update rebalanced everything. God damn single player game is now balanced for two people, even when you’re solo.

Kolanaki, 15 dni temu

Is it just more Ghost of Tsushima or does it add any new mechanics?

Kolanaki, 16 dni temu

It’s a rare breed of game that gets me pre-ordering these days. It has to be something I know I will want, from a dev/publisher with a proven track record of making good shit and not being exploitative to customers, and be more about multiplayer than single.

I haven’t pre-ordered for any other reason since they stopped giving you physical swag for doing so (and it only was $5 down and could be cancelled for a refund while still keeping the swag and digital distribution wasn’t even a thing, so they actually could run out of copies).

Just save what you would spend on subscribing to tbis dumb shit for a few months and build your own machine so you don’t have to throw money away on a subscription service.

Kolanaki, 16 dni temu

That was the OG way of piracy. Except the hardware was, like, rum, sugar, and cannons. 🤷‍♂️

The writing wastes a LOT of time.

The writing is the reason for playing the game. If that’s wasted time, maybe this kind of RPG isn’t your thing.

It’s also paraded as pro-communist media, and it really isn’t at all.

100% dependant on your play style. If you go down Socialist Cop route, it’s pro communism. If you go down the Crypto Fascist route, the game is pro-racism.

That’s why it is one of the best RPGs of all time; You have so much choice and agency that you get like 16 different versions of the same story, based entirely on what you choose to do, and those stories are written as well as any book.

Most of the CGI in Fury Road is used for the backdrops, not the main focus of the action. You wouldn’t even notice it unless it’s pointed out and you see the real world place they filmed vs what they made it look like with CGI in the film.

Compare that to, say, the crappy alligators in Eraser. Or even the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park.

Kolanaki, 20 dni temu

And that’s my point; back in the 90s, that shit wasn’t invisible. It was used in the foreground, not the background. Practical effects still look better for foreground action.

And I think my app is bugging out; I only saw the first two paragraphs originally. Now there are two more.

The trick to Returnal, specifically, is to turn the aim asssist to max, and then also go into Accessibility options and make the crosshair as large as possible; the aim assist works off what’s inside tye crosshairs, so if you make it the size of the whole screen, you can’t really miss.

Control you just gotta be good. It’s aim assist fucking sucks. But that’s for the Service Weapon; you really should be meleeing and using telekinesis as your main damage output, and those do get a good aim assist.

Horizon also has great melee and aim assist, tho it’s aim assist doesn’t move the xhair onto things, it moves your arrows toward the target instead. Just keep the circle near enough to what you want to hit.

Also: Hella games support M&KB on PS5 and the PS5 now supports a heap of peripherials. Even my shit-ass Logitech K140 set works if I plug the wireless dongle into the PS5 when it did not work when I got the PS5.

Edit: Oh, also many games on the console have the option to use the gyro controls to aim. That can be a big help for some.

Kolanaki, 22 dni temu

Playing GTA with a controller has been insanely easier than M&KB since I switched. Not just the aim assist, but the ease of doing practically everything makes it faster and smoother. Well… Except drive-bys. No aim assist when shooting from a car and you need ALL THE BUTTONS making it awkward lol

Thats not a glove; his wrist is jist extra wrinkly when holding guns.

But also: He puts on a ring with a spike on it, too.

From what I saw of this whole debacle was that the CEO himself uses GenAI for mocking up things for presentations he gives to the rest of the staff, and not something they do in general at the studio.

Kolanaki, 26 dni temu

IIRC, he was actively involved with the development of The Thing for PS2, also. And that is a pretty damn good game for being an older, AA, film tie-in game.

Toxic Commando. 🤦‍♂️

I was over here wondering why John Carpenter was even involved with this because my mind kept swapping commando for Avenger which is an entirely different franchise.

Shadow of Mordor is the only thing on this list I do not already own.

None of these games are very PC. Even the most modern ones have humor and ideas stuck firmly in the early 90s and can be in extremely poor taste across all manner of things from misoginy, classism, racism, agism and ablism.

Kolanaki, 28 dni temu

And I’m agreeing with you by adding more context. They’re not PC at all. Even in the way they show sexual misconduct as being bad is through the lens of a “white knight” mindset (male lead must rescue the damsel) or for creepy gross-out gags (old, homeless man flashing people on the street that you must catch).

What am I supposed to explore when I am going back the way I came? The simplest way of doing fast travel still generally requires you find POIs by actually going to their location before you can travel to them instantly.

I’ve done my exploring, now I want to sell all the shit I found and get back to finding more!

And those get pretty repetitive and aren’t rewarding enough that I wanna go through that every time. Especially RDR2’s fucking habit of spawning some kind of big animal right the fuck on top of me giving me zero chance to react and making me lose all the animal pelts I’d been collecting right as I am walking up to the motherfucker who buys 'em. 🤬

(I’ve been playing that one recently and it’s reminding me why I stopped)
