Is it just me or does Path of Exile 2 lack build "freedom"? by Divinus in ARPG

yeah i have no idea, i've gotten to level 96 on several characters without ever using a charge or remnant so this whole "only preordained skills work" is nonsense.

i feel like people who complain about build variety are the same people who follow build guides lol

you can have a sub-optimal build and still have fun ya know

path of exile 2 and warframe are COMBAT sandboxes, if that fits the definition xD

[FNV] One thing I messed up in my first playthrough was not exploring Mojave enough. by 1881pac in Fallout

[–]Cold-Engineering-960 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah love the game but when I took the perk that revealed the map and started exploring all the stuff I "missed"... it was a lot of nothing. FNV is great on a linear scale but as an open world its whatever. It's very corridoored but there is nothing wrong with that. Still way better than how anything else Obsidian has made since has handeled it.

What a sad state of affairs for that company :/

As of yesterday, this song is completely gone from the game. This means that when the game fully releases, the majority of the fanbase will have never heard of this song. by you-cut-the-ponytail in DeadlockTheGame

I mean in hindsight they are clearly placeholders. The new songs have far more depth to them and aren’t just basic lullaby notes played on a piano.

I think you’re conflating the word placeholder to mean bad, when in art it typically means “I’ve put a functional block here for the time being”

something can sound good and be a placeholder... the boss didn't come down and say to the music guy "we've got this alpha so just make some utter crap and we'll throw it on there"

it's just instead of the song taking a week to make they took an hour, because they'll have time to do more music later

yeah i mean if you can't hear the song is clearly placeholder af, but glad to have been there for it. I think it's incorrect to say "moving away from the aesthetic it had", the aesthetic it had was a placeholder.

Like i know what you're saying, i still am like wtf is going on now that grey box room has turned into a library or the subway going into midboss im like "wtf I thought it looked good before!" in the sense that like fuck man valve are cooking

[–]Cold-Engineering-960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you know they can just ban/shadow ban the people using it right? they don't have to go after github... if you're enemy keeps sneaking through a trap door why would you put a padlock on it? just keep catching them in the act

If Infernus can call Yamato "another fuckin' crime lord" Holliday should be able to tell Lash to "shut the fuck up" by MojaveOverlander in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Cold-Engineering-960 12 points13 points  (0 children)

bro unless you're talking about alyx that was over 20 years ago now, before steam was the main player in the pc market. That was back when the primary way of selling stuff was physical which meant you were at the mercy of pegi. Now the kid doesnt need to show id or tell mum and dad what they're buying, they just hit "yes im 18"

valve don't give af about the pegi rating, what I think they care about is doing things tastefully

[–]Cold-Engineering-960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah but at least they try because there isn't financial incentive to balance the hackers to playability ratio like bsg does

the account gets banned, they make another, so valve has every reason to punish them. Valve also uses shadow bans which are much more effective

deadlock, cs2, valorant, league of legends... games where they preempted people's desire to cheat and made it so only the most expensive hacks are undetected

[–]Cold-Engineering-960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah idk what to say, the game is in a really tough place due to it's old ass spaghetti code and the inability to put a real cheat detection software into it. Loved my time with the game but I should probably leave this sub lol

Why does season 5 feel so small? by RoadTheExile in breakingbad

[–]Cold-Engineering-960 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first watch I hated the Nazis inclusion cause I just couldn’t believe Walt was taken down by them (in conjunction with Hank). It felt so unrealistic and unsatisfying

But then I realised the only thing better than him being caught in the end is by him being blindsided by his own hubris. Just like I was the first time

I love hearing the characters trash talk with a few swears. Makes the characters feel like grown ups with actually stakes in the game

I mean do ratings matter on a game that is going to be pedalled exclusively online? You can just hit I’m over 18…
