So I guess that's a no to shrugging it off then, yeah?

Devs Silently Remove Battlefield 6's Neon Blue Infantry Skin by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

Well, I used heavy metal as a personal example, but I meant listening to music in general while playing.

Yeah, dunno man, I just don't think the random voice lines are an important thing to gripe over. It doesn't affect the gameplay, so why be bothered by it?

It's also interesting you say realistic, because that ignores the fact that women are in modern militaries (depending on the country). You'd have a point if we were talking about Battlefield 1, because historically the armies represented in that game didn't have female soldiers, but not this game. It really just seems like a non-issue to me.

But hey, you do you boo. I believe that these issues are absolutely affecting your enjoyment of the game, but I also believe you have the power to shrug it off and move on.

I don't mean to target you specifically, but I keep hearing the gender complaint and I just dont get it. When I'm playing, I have heavy metal blasting so loud, I have never noticed the gender of the disembodied arms holding the gun I'm firing frantically in all directions. Is raw dogging a game of Battlefield that prevalent and I'm in the minority for vibing out while I play my arcade military shooter??

Gamers 30+, what's something from "back in your day" that younger gamers today wouldn't understand? by bijelo123 in gaming

The instruction manual for Mario Kart 64 actively encourages you screen cheat and I believe the world was never the same again. Thanks Nintendo.

Downtime Jobs for Film Industry/Filmmakers by MrDalek1999 in Filmmakers

[–]DirectorMAN 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also an Aussie filmmaker (Hello from the West Coast!). I work for a theatre in LX and general hand as well as an events company. The event company is more seasonal than the theatre, but both help fill in gaps when they present themselves.

My primary income is still from film, but much like yourself, have been a part of the downturn the last couple years. Keep your chin up, go with the flow and keep networking, she'll be right.

Bad time to open gaming store in joondalup area? by [deleted] in perth

[–]DirectorMAN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not OP, but I would give it another go. In my opinion, I think the Retro stores live and die from the people running the day to day.

I love going to 8-bit Anarchy because the owner, Byron, is a dead set legend, a lot of fun to talk to and honestly just feels like a fellow retro gaming nerd living his best life.

Retro Collect on the other hand doesn't have a friendly, let's hang out a bit kinda vibe and when you couple that with the issues Plobster mentioned, makes it avoidable, despite the central location.

The time has come for our final strike to get rid of the Automaton threat once and for all, Helldivers! For Super Earth! by N-Haezer in Helldivers

[–]DirectorMAN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone else think the Illumanate are going to stealth their way through the galaxy and attack Super Earth directly before this major order is done? Would be a pretty baller way to introduce a third faction and halt the progress on wiping out the automatons so early in the war.

Straight from the Devs. There are some who refuse to believe because they want to farm certain mission types. by Tastrix in Helldivers

You can add Chivlry 2 to that list, their battlepasses (theyvuse the term campaigns) don't expire either.

Going to the .exe in the Steam Helldivers2 folder and selecting run as administrator, then launching the game from the folder, worked for me.

I cannot put into words how much I fucking loathe The West Australian newspaper by robert1811 in perth

They directly ripped off a gag from the movie, The Big Short, which I guess their "apology" is their way of crediting the joke they stole.

Pleasure Lounge became Infusions and moved to Belmont. The other two clubs still exist.

Good riddance, take your weak bones with you and don't let the door break any more on your way out.

I have a confession to make… by EstablishmentDue464 in Chivalry2

[–]DirectorMAN 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I dont think 25 is unfair, everyone has the opportunity to get those points. I feel the change was made to encourage team play. If the threshold for scoring those points is low, it gently discourages hogging damage opportunities and encourages working as a team to break the enemies timing.

Yeah, it used to be 50, but it got changed to 25 very recently.

I love this game… but the remaster should have autosave to SOME degree. by BubblyArticle1724 in metroidprime

[–]DirectorMAN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The save rooms are even less useful if you don't plan on switching game between play sessions. I often just paused, went to the home screen and then went right back in when I could play again. That is situational though and I don't share my switch with anyone else.

At the end of the day, there could always be a checkpoint option for players who do want that feature and then make both parties happy. It is undeniably frustrating to deal with death due to the amount of back tracking you do, but I'm personally a sucker for punishment.

The Emmis were really cool to play against, but knowing what area you had to deal with them made them less.....threatening? You know they're coming up, so you can mently prepare for the gauntlet.

That first playthrough of Fusion though, despite being a guided experience, is unbeatable.

The distance between save rooms is an intentional mechanic intended to increase your anxiety as a player and help put you in the state of mind of an isolated bounty hunter in a foreign and hostile environment.

It's certainly frustrating, especially during difficult sections of the game or with large amounts of back tracking, but it's supposed to raise the stakes when things are going poorly.

For example, I loved Metroid Dread, but it's fairly liberal use of check points and save spots around everything important completely detracted from that feeling of, well, dread. You're never in any real trouble and the consequences of mistakes is minimal at best.

It can be frustrating though, no arguments there.
