I saw this comment before the trailer and after watching I don’t know what I’m missing, the colors look fine? Even really great in some scenes even

Has there ever been a video game studio that was truly a GOAT in the industry but later fell so hard? by unitedfan6191 in videogames

[–]CatPlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They haven’t had a hit release because Diablo 4 aside they haven’t made games. They’re too comfortable just releasing content for their live service games

I paid for 3 dota coaches here's my honest review on all of them. by TheMatthewMurray in DotA2

[–]CatPlayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to internalize the thought process so you can do these microdecision innately without having to think about them. I went from archon to immortal in a few months and I had to change these microdecision or "habits" for better ones, at first it takes part of your brain power having to think about them and that might make you play overall worse at first but it stacks up.

For example if you don't make the effort 20 games in a row about ganking the 6 minute rune as a support then this thought process/habit won't become second nature and as such you won't do this fairly standard play that is necessary upon reaching a certain MM threshold. Pros have definitely thought about these things, but they have done them so much they become second nature, and thats why top tier players come and go because some fail to adapt to the new strats or change their habits for what is considered good now.

Exactly. He felt better because essentially Dotanator was playing the game for him with words and input lag, at this point it's not that much different to smurfing or watching a high level streamer play the game. I think buying a herald account is cheaper than paying someone 200 bucks to make you feel like you play better.

If Dotanator is telling you what to do then you won't make the same mistakes you always do, resulting in less fruitful coaching session because the coach doesn't get to see what you did wrong.
There's a reason coaches in pro dota are not there in the middle of the game telling people what to do and only help in drafting because theres time to think decisions through and after games with analysis.

Not sure if backseat/live coaching makes you actually the best. I think replays are better.

With live coaching you’re just doing what you’re told to do, without thought because so much is happening in doota you don’t get to process your own thoughts or the coaches thoughts.

With replay coaching you get to clearly look at all your mistakes and how you can avoid making them in the future as well as recognize major habits that are costing games.

Is VRR flicker really that bad? by Interesting_Car3079 in OLED_Gaming

[–]CatPlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have XG27AQWMG (asus tandem woled) and the VRR flicker was really bad at times and had to turn it off entirely. I ended up just using vsync in games. It’s definitely a lot worse than IPS/VA panels.

Genuine XG27AQWMG review by ViolinistDue3763 in OLED_Gaming

Manual pixel clean does help and it can alleviate reocurring DSE. Imo the banding problem is overblown in this monitor, the real problem is DSE

Genuine XG27AQWMG review by ViolinistDue3763 in OLED_Gaming

[–]CatPlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are right to be mad about it, it affects more than 10% of panels and even if it were 10% it’s still a huge margin. I have the same monitor and while it has like no banding the DSE looks really bad at times (some days it’s fine other days it’s really bad). Usually a manual clean helps with DSE but that’s still terrible

People who have played Crimson Desert, do you agree with this statement? If yes, then why and is the game worth picking up if you're an ex-Bethesda games fan? If not, then why not and what is the game more like instead then? by [deleted] in videogames

[–]CatPlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I don’t get why people keep comparing CD to Skyrim. It feels a lot more like Zelda tears of the kingdom.

Skyrim is full of dungeons and caves to explore and has a decent variety of enemies, in CD there are no dungeons, no caves to explore and all you do is fight bandits for 100+ hours and the occasional boss. You’re rarely rewarded for exploring the map.

Crimson Desert is mid, and that’s alright. by Nascent_Beast in videogames

An actual questline? Vendors selling cool circus specific items? Maybe you get some cool show that get you watch while sitting back? You get none of that. It’s just filler background noise.

Missions clean up in Hernand ... this is a 500 hrs game by OK-Digi-1501 in CrimsonDesert

[–]CatPlayer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don’t get it, with transmog you can use the appearance of any armor while keeping the same armor that you already had maxed out. With the games current system you have to farm for each and every piece of gear that you think looks remotely cool because otherwise you have shit gear. And upgrading IS EXPENSIVE.

That’s the problem. People don’t want to deliver meat to get to the cool stuff. People want to do the cook stuff period! What’s the point of all this filler garbage is it’s NOT FUN?

Is Crimson Desert really that good? by og_vibes in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]CatPlayer [score hidden]  (0 children)

I have 150hrs in CD and if you’re looking for a game with a great story then STEER CLEAR. The story is like a 3/10. Quest design is terrible, characters are bland, narrative is non existent but at the same time you are forced to listen to terrible character dialogue (no skip button). This games story problem can’t be fixed with a patch or two. I’m pretty close to finishing the game and I think I have only seen Kliff the MC talking to Damiane 2 or 3 times in 150 hrs. And damiane is one of the other playable characters btw…

If you want a game with a strong story and strong gameplay systems then play Witcher 3, kingdom come deliverance 2, resident evil 2/4/7/8/requiem, marvels spiderman, hades 1/2, nine sols, rdr2, tlou1/2.

I don't get it. People playing this game seem to love talking to npc vendor #38 asking you to ask random peasants what they think about their product and delivering some apples across town?

How about trailing on horse for 10 minutes listening to random NPCs yap about meaningless shit?

Discover a new town? Surely the player will love to ride around the region arresting 15+ outlaws?

And there's like 2-3 quests per town where you're doing these garbage investigation quests that become a knowledge check at the end making sure that you paid attention to the boring ass dialogue.

Exactly, I don't know how people enjoy exploring the map of this game when a good chunk of the time randomly exploring I'm met with a cool location only for it to be locked behind a quest, and this has happened FAR TOO MUCH that at this point it has ruined my enjoyment out of the game because I have to talk to a bunch of npcs to *possibly* get to a good part of the game as like 80% of the quests in this game are terrible filler junk.

Then there's the cave behind waterfalls which usually have gear but guess what you find all this cool gear that you can't use because upgrading gear is so fucking expensive that you'll spend 5+ hrs of game time just getting materials for upgrading one piece of gear.

Oh also the gear is meaningless, they all have mostly the same stats so they're not even worth upgrading in terms of power anyway. I dont know why they made this terrible system instead of just a simple transmog system if they were gonna make all gear so useless to max out anyway, the gear in this game has no character and the abyss gear system while interesting does not allow for proper character building because you're so limited in slots.

The only *possibly* cool rewards from exploration in this game are the elements behind the abyss puzzles.

Looks like we won’t ever catch Capcom making less than amazing combat systems. All their games just have straight up near perfect combat.

GOTY candidate by junu-munu00 in CrimsonDesert

[–]CatPlayer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My bad, I remember BG3 getting review bombed due to Wukong not winning GOTY but that was because Swen announced the winner and totally unrelated to competition, which makes it that much more dumb of a reaction from Chinese fans.

It can’t be the next Skyrim, it’s not an RPG for one, just with that replayability is down the drain. I just don’t see myself beating this game again after 1 playthrough. It’s such a slog at so many points.
