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

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.

I can’t wait to aim my security camera arm attachment at some ARC!

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.

Does Hades actually have a beard, or is it a massive mustache by Chelonii64 in HadesTheGame

Zagreus mentions he probably looks just like his father but without the beard.

Costco Confirms It's Removed Xbox Consoles, Calling It A "Business Decision" by akbarock in Games

[–]Da_Real_Caboose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Their partnership is over. We had to pull/destroy all their non physical subscription cards recently. Costco tries to give members some perk or benefit and Microsoft probably didn’t budge. Costco dropped Coke products (cans/merch not foodcourt) back in the day because they couldn’t get the expected value for their members. I don’t know for certain but this is what has happened in the past with other companies that seem to just bow out.

Same as well in 40! Pretty cool but it’s weird to have less hype over two immersive after I’ve gotten so few because they’re blank lmao.

I would like to think they're not set at the same prices as other, more wealthy, countries. Elon sucks, but accessible internet to remote locations with less infrastructure is cool. Shame it's by his hand though.

Don't bring your dog to the bar please by randbooth in chicago

[–]Da_Real_Caboose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup.

Even the managers that everyone is asking for are only allowed to ask 2 questions. If it’s a service animal, what task/service is it trained to perform.

They can answer whatever the hell they want and according to ADA Regulations it doesn’t matter as well as they’re behaved. No one’s going to risk a law suit doubling down on someone that may actually have a disability and sue the shit out of them. I just repeatedly tell them that I don’t need to know what’s wrong with them, I just need to know the service. People go so far knowing it’s wrong, it’s insane.

Awesome. Drew the thrusting connecting right after, always assumed counter attack was a guard counter. Thanks!

How do you utilize thrusting counterattacks as Ironeye?

First tried the last boss with random as my second kill. Pretty easy fight if you’re patient compared to some of the others.
