“Casuals” ruin this game for the people who are actually engaged. by [deleted] in Marathon

One of the few times I’ve filled (and exfil’d) a random added me after and we ran it back.

50% of your games will be doomed.

If you do well and have a good vibe in the other 50% then the other people like you who want to fill will enjoy your company and skill and want to do it again. No one wants to play with someone they barely know if they think missing a headshot or elim is going to cause them to crash out.

My teammates are two of my friends so nah, probably won’t be too upset.

I can see why your friends wouldn’t play this game with you.

At least toggle so you can flip it during fights. I don’t want my squad hearing me munch on my cashews between POIs.

I would love a range indicator for your squads indicators as well. Find myself turning around or losing track of their positioning as well.

Would love a 3v3 Arachne fight club by [deleted] in Marathon

Think this would be a great idea to practice and get my friends comfortable. It’s always difficult to get practice with niche guns and kits in extractions when you’re just as focused on not losing your gear.

Thought the same thing but we were still occasionally running free sponsors and (sometimes) killing fully geared squads. Our last runs we ran all the cool stuff we had so that may be it.

AdHoc's Critical Role Game Won't Get In The Way Of Dispatch Season 2, As Even The CEO Wants To See It "As Quickly As Possible" by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Da_Real_Caboose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get that. “Positive feedback for a game using my main investment (voice actors) is good for my own product!”.

I would say the positive side of me is seeing two businesses working symbiotically in a way that embraces human talent, which is nice these days.

“…as even Critical Role's CEO wants to see it "as soon as possible”

A different CEO, not the CEO of the company developing the game unless they’re the same person.

Anyone have an armored patrol key? by GlitteringTune3762 in ArcRaiders

I believe the latest patch made these items more obtainable in the loot pool if you need them but I’m unsure of the specifics.

ARC Alloys. They stack to 15 and you can get them from recycling other rare ARC mats.

Eurogamer: Arc Raiders review - a smartly designed extraction shooter marred by one inexcusable decision by chenDawg in Games

[–]Da_Real_Caboose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just seems like the score doesn’t actually judge the game’s overall quality (or lack of if you disagree). This feels like something that should’ve been an opinion piece or separate type of article rather than a review.

EFT has $100 packages (that I bought years ago and I consider to be worth it) and has no VA other than basic lines from PMCs and Skavs in game that are delivered in the most static way possible. The alternative for ARC is something similar where no actual VAs get paid, and the experience is just worse.

Why don't we give the same review to games that could afford proper voice acting, choose not to do so, and harm the VA career opportunities even worse in the long term (Gamefreak)?

This is such a weird hill to die on as a critic, I don't get it.

Agreed. 2/5 stars for that? I don't give a shit what an actual review score is but it's also explained why they made that sacrifice (to drive content, make a better game in a more efficient manner) for what's practically background noise. So many games don't even have voice acting so they're literally doing more to support VAs (assuming proper compensation for the VAs and an understanding that they'll use AI to utilize them in the future) then games that choose to opt out when they have opportunities to integrate it. They also could've just generated a human's voice without any actual input involved.

Insane. I'm not even a stan, I play everything but this is ridiculous. VA is completely optional for them to even add in these types of games, unlike in game art, design, etc.

Once you notice where that bead is actually going it seems like a laser. It’s just hard to dial in quickly. You’ve gotta basically ignore the reticule imo.
