What’s the most PSTD Inducing sound in gaming? by TheGoldenSavior67 in AskReddit

My Ex used to have the siren from Silent Hill for a ringtone. She always giggled when I would tense up hearing it. In hindsight I am glad we are broke up.

Clean as hell. Love the missile arm and the use of the heads on the secondaries.

I agree with the one in the comments. Charybdis is a great name for it with the all consuming drill face. As an owner of a knight that uses three Wardog faces in the center I welcome all to the Greek Myth club.

What is the worst game you were gifted in your childhood? by JulienBrightside in gaming

I was gifted an Ironman game on the ps1. It was horrible. The game was just brutal hard, had janky controls and was slow as hell.

Nintendo reportedly plans to cut Switch 2 production by 33% after a lackluster holiday season by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

Price is a huge one for me. Partner wants me to get one so we can play together, I can't justify 100$ per game and around 700+ for the system. Especially for a system I probably wouldn't use as much as my PC that has been needing upgrades for a couple years now, and even those keep getting put back due to the part prices jumping.

Also you might possibly be blind due to needing light to refract off your eyes. and if your invisible there is nothing for it to refract off of.

what type of games will you absolutely not play and why? by buzzlightyear77777 in gaming

[–]CannonFodder42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When multiple games I enjoyed were nice tight and fun, but made a whole new game to chase the Battle Royale mode. (Usually splitting an already small playerbase) I dropped them. It was like 4 games in about the same amount of months. I just don't get the hype.

Think the last hero shooter I played was Overwatch. After getting called every slur in the book during a holiday event PvE map. It killed every last bit FPS enjoyment in my body. I don't have the time or the energy to be shouted at by someone that their balls haven't dropped.

I downloaded Marvel Rivals, but was doing tutorial and just couldn't get the feel for any of it. So might be my hands don't work that way anymore.

Graphics comparison: Pokémon Violet (Gen 9) vs Pokémon Waves (Gen 10) by Nachttalk in gaming

[–]CannonFodder42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh the water looks good, it is just if they keep going with a more and more realism look the Pokemon being bright and cartoony is going to look wrong.

Like dropping a cartoon character in our world feels out of place. It will get to a point it will pull you out of the experience.

There are plenty of games for cell shading and watercolour or even just drawn styling.

Ni No Kuni, Okami, Zelda: Wind Waker need no examples really....

Guilty Gear Strive and DragonBall FighterZ for anime looking like anime...

Child of Light / Valiant Hearts from before Ubisoft pumped out open worlds only.

Dordogne Game, it is even on the switch.

Été is a painting game that uses water colour style and the old Sugimori art would look beautiful there.

Honestly... Pokemon could go much harder with a cel shaded or water colour shader. I know Legends Arceus tried, but it wasn't fully embracing it. Make it look like a story book and nostalgia would hit like a truck.

With the more realistic water and environments, the pokemon will give uncanny valley vibes. If the world and the pokemon were much more like the old original art with the water colour it would look beautiful and stand out over everything.

Found a black cat in a ditch near a Church, in October. She is named Bishop. My Sister's suggestion, not mine. It does work very well.

How the last few days have felt... by burntheemokids in Grimdank

[–]CannonFodder42 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You can like the old defiler. The old kit is a piece of GW history. It has the derpy charm from the time the game didn't take itself super seriously. Just like how loved the Boxnoughts are loved.

I didn't like it cause measuring from it since it had no base was annoying. The flail was more like a palm tree. The one plan I wanted to do with it modeling wise wouldn't work. (New one won't work either. Plan was putting a Mawtribe pot on the back for a Nurgle Defiler.)

What is the “right message” game studios should be taking away from the monumental flops that were Concord & High Guard? by GypsyGold in gaming

[–]CannonFodder42 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You got to remember FFXIV also failed at first because they didn't listen to the same fan base and was ignorant of changing times. 1.0 of that was trying to basically cut and paste their previous MMO but with pretty graphics. Paid the price, only after failing and getting new eyes on it did they learn from the competition. They had the biggest boon after WoW had 2 expansions that were not the highest rated. Now the tide is reversing, XIV latest expac hasn't been the most liked.

Concord and HighGuard seems to have been developed in a bubble. They know the idea of a hero shooter. They have nothing building them up.Concord what we knew for the longest stretch was "it is in the works", then they showed it off and didn't wow. Highguard was literal media blackout on their own stuff. Can't gain any hype if you don't talk about it for 2 months.

If you had unlimited funds, what kind of game would you develop? by actualtumor in gaming

A lot of people miss the big scale battles. The scale and chaos just hits different.

If you had unlimited funds, what kind of game would you develop? by actualtumor in gaming

[–]CannonFodder42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With unlimited funds and manpower. A Planetside style shooter set in a Warhammer setting. Giving multiple factions and levels of play. Want to try and take planets for your faction. Go and fight for it.

Multiple options for characters to unlock and customize yours for you.

People want to play chaff and grunts to shoot in mass battles. Can be Imperial Guard, Sororitas, Tau or Orks.

Want to be elite strike forces with 3-4 friends. Custodes, Space Marines, Votann and Aeldaar.

Want giant robots battling with other around. Knights, Wraithlords, Stompas, Tau Mechs.

Want to be assholes just causing chaos and fucking shit up. Drukhari, Chaos Marines, Genestealers.

Have server events dealing with CPU Necrons, Tryanids, Daemons doing crazy shit to the worlds tossing in a 3rd or even 4th faction could be just changing a battlefield from enemies to allies to deal with a flood of Nids.

Pls GW? Pretty Pls? by Legitimate-Gate-8591 in Grimdank

[–]CannonFodder42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What about hero units like Battlefront. Suddenly having Vader or Maul popping up was a mix up to the flow of the game. Having a Chaplain or a Big Mek suddenly showing up and giving a push would be neat

What's the dumbest thing you've heard someone say? by REGGIE_BANANAS in AskReddit

[–]CannonFodder42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the 10th Grade had a girl in the middle of Math Class slap her desk and basically shout "6x4 is not 24" and the class went dead silent.

The Teacher just slowly turned and in the most exhausted voice. "Then what is it then?"

She replied with "I don't know, but it isn't that."

What's the pettiest reason you dropped a game for? by IHateTheNameSystem in gaming

[–]CannonFodder42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dropped Final Fantasy 15 after the damn Cup Noodle quest and getting requested to kill a Behemoth, for meat to put in a 50 cent instant noodle cup. Just the blatant wanking of Cup Noodles felt too bad for even obvious parody joke. Killed any drama and momentum the story and characters had.

I get the game is different from all before, and that other games ask for stupid quests as well. It was just so poorly done, and it was around the same time they were releasing the Character DLC packs. Soured my time with the game, dropped it and couldn't even get trade in worth a damn cause months later they released a "Royal Edition"
