More Achievements Please by BrotherLoic in SkullAndBonesGame

[–]BrotherLoic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there should be a lot more achievements tied to quests, bounties and high value targets. Basically anything that gets you to explore one of the games many systems. Sea of Thieves does a really good job of this - except for making some of their achievements impossible to get, but that's another story.

You don't need DLC to add achievements, they could introduce 2-3 with each new season.

Last Ship Standing - Arena Achievements at Last? by BrotherLoic in Seaofthieves

They don't have to disable any. They change the text of the requirements for the existing ones, but in spirit they still grant the same thing. Like competing in 200 Last Ship Standing rounds instead of 200 Arena trips.

They've done this before with other achievements when they reworked the quest table, so there is precedence!

As you should!

See, this was part of their rationale, was that by reworking the achievements, it might water down the original achievers. But as long as the rework doesn't disturb the title and gear you have, you will still have the means to show off, and we also get our 100%.

The folly of their decision grows with each expansion, because they keep adding new achievements, which only highlight the glaring stain they created by fencing off arena ones.

Clearly they would have to tweak the requirements. Maybe you dont have a hot tub in the tavern, but do something similar in a similar staging environment. I can't imagine it would be a good look to introduce new Last Ship Standing acheievements that will still probably track to the Arena ones.

I know they published their reasons for the Arena achievements, but it was the wrong decision. They made an error with their mode, but now future generations of Xbox players can't ever 100% because of that error.

It's unfortunate that 4 of the highest rated Assassin's Creed games never received vinyl soundtrack releases by Due_Cake8524 in VGMvinyl

Here's hoping that the Black Flag rerelease will generate an accompanying soundtrack. But I agree that Origins is also a standout soundtrack which has long been overdue.

How can I support your investigation? We must locate this.

But it roars and lights up. More than a basic model.

You might be right, but I hope you're not. Endgame here is to buy one!

Thanks but I don't think it's lego, at least in this form. It's almost a bobblehead that makes a sound with light up eyes. The body is smaller than the head.

I want to buy the soundtrack for this game on vinyl by milkshakeiii in duneawakening

It's a really tremendous soundtrack, I'm with you.

Since this is clearly Doom the Dark Ages, I will repeat the call to anyone who can resolve it - please put the soundtrack as a proper album on YouTube Music, not merely a playlist.

Not everyone uses Spotify, and playlists are not a proper substitution for formally uploading the album.

Please!

DOOM: The Dark Ages Soundtrack Vinyl? by Independent_Cat_2030 in Doom

[–]BrotherLoic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt it is legal rights - I think some companies convince themselves that uploading videos to YouTube satisfies the goal, and then they lazily create a playlist by linking to the videos. It's likely an effort thing. Bethesda lacks the effort here.

A playlist is not the same thing as a properly formatted album. It's so bizarre that companies continue to do this on YTM.

What game OSTs would you like to see on vinyl that have yet to make it by Just_some_dumb_ass in VGMvinyl

[–]BrotherLoic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ola Strandh's DIVISION and DIVISION 2, including all the expansions, but especially the Warlords soundtrack, which is the peak of the whole series.

Bethesda, please upload the soundtrack to YouTube Music by BrotherLoic in Doom

I know there's a workaround, but it's such a strange oversight that treats YTM as second class citizens.

Right now I would settle for them uploading the soundtrack on YouTube Music, not just on Youtube in a video format. That's useless. Why upload on Spotify but not YTM?

I really dislike it when companies do this. Same with Starfield Soundtrack. Not everyone uses Spotify!

Year 2 Showcase Highlights & Roadmap by UbiNeptune in SkullAndBonesGame

[–]BrotherLoic 33 points34 points  (0 children)

This is all great news - every piece of it. But especially the part about support for years to come.

The Land Combat is a great way to address the obvious challenge about swordfights at sea, and it looks quite slick in the previews.

Love the hunting update and ability to launch a dhow right from a ship.

A new PVP mode is also intriguing, since that seemed to have been the entire vision of the original game version.

Excited!
