Wrong. Molotov cocktail.

I think whoever thought of this concept should die

I mean, cyberpunk had issues at launch but at its core it was an excellently written game in a vibrant world with phenomenal NPC performances and fun combat. It was worth spending the time and effort to fix up.

Redfall has none of that, from everything I’ve seen. Sometimes you need to release and move on.

The final season™ is in production now after a couple year hiatus.

Main storyline ended back in like 2014 iirc, then they had an anthology non-Canon season of a bunch of different animation styles which was really neat, and then like 3 seasons of weird virtual production unreal engine stuff that I don’t think is Canon?

Either way it’s still being made, but it’s the end. Allegedly.

Lotta artists make their living through Twitter

Fwiw it’s ‘milquetoast’

I think it really worked to pull the player in and immerse them into conversations and show off the insane facial animation tech that is JALI, but yeah an option would be nice.

Don’t forget Nintendo titles being the most locked-down zero options games on the market. I played a Nintendo game for the first time in a decade recently and my god it felt so antequated. Couldn’t even change volume levels lol.

This was the most “design by trends the CEO’s son saw five years ago” game I’ve ever seen. From day one you could tell it’d be DOA since it would be arriving years late and millions of dollars short, with absolutely zero soul or intent. You could smell the cash shop and sandpaper one-liners from a mile away. I feel for the devs at CA that have been pushed into making this game, and are now facing layoffs for it’s inevitable failure. It’s really time the C-suite started getting consequences for their poor decisions. Let CA make Aliens Isolation already dammit.

We should simply speak of nothing, ever then.

You can probably count the avid Facebook users who also use Lemmy on one hand.

I agree with your point but imo Johnny Silverhand is Keanu’s best work.

Good! Companies who let shitty people run it and let those people make shitty decisions should die. It’s time for there to be some actual risk involved in being C-suite.

Well you got here by waiting 3 years to play a game that was perfectly fine about a month post-launch.

As someone who played on launch, with less than “best” specs - it was fine. I had the odd T-posing NPC or texture flicker, but I had decent frames almost everywhere and had a blast with a great game.

For more graphically intensive games actually, this is shifting back bc polys are a lot cheaper than texel density these days. Games like Star Citizen, Alien Isolation, Cyberpunk and Starfield (or other hardsurface elements in games like firearms or vehicles) with insanely intricate hardsurface elements that the player needs to be able to be up close all around and inside can’t use baked normals due to the fact it’d just be impossible to get a decent texel density and bake, so now games are shifting to something called ‘face weighted normals’ which basically means that all the big bevels and chamfers are actually part of the model’s geo instead of being baked down. Smaller stuff like greebling will be a flat plane shrink wrapped to the curvature of a surface with baked detail as a displacement or normal map.

Am I allowed to play it as a member of the LGBTQ community? Or will David Cage come to my house and personally beat me to death?

Fuck David Cage and fuck QD

Feels like an odd choice for a game that’s balanced for PvPvE imo.

Harry Potter and Starfield ain’t worth your time mate

I think foxes are cool :)

Keep in mind this is theoretical, so assumes perfect setup + max damage rolls

Hasted sorcerer attacking a grouping of five enemies

• action 1: throw a bottle of water at them

• action 2: twinned spell Chain Lightning

• initial targets hit once, doubled for wet (80x2=160)

• each enemy aside from the initial two targets is hit twice, doubled for wet (80x2x3=480)

• (very) theoretical max damage of 640 for one spell slot and 6 sorc points

Meta it is not, due to the very specific use-case and the setup required, but it’s a great opener or closer, and I pretty commonly hit +200/250dmg using this. Cleared every single ad in the >!Orin!< fight in one shot this way lol

Another fun build I just tried out in my friend’s game

Paladin/tempest cleric

Moving parts are as follows

• Thunderous Smite (spell slot)

• utilize Destructive Wrath to ensure max damage roll on the thunder damage (channel divinity - short rest)

• use Luck Of The Far Realms to ensure crit (long rest)

• use Divine Smite on Crit for more booku bux (spell slot)

Haven’t played w this one too much, for stats you’ll want to dump CHA tho, weird for a paladin build but the important bits of this build don’t involve the actual spell effects for paladin so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ in terms of efficacy though, at level 7 I did 120 damage in one attack lol.
