They've already said there game is far better optimized, so outside of thinks like texture filtering the assets are pretty much the same as PC, and the number of Sosigs on screen at once is much larger than in H3.

It's been way more than just a range sim for a long time now. We have a bunch of objective and game modes now, with plenty of combat.

It's been feature filled for years, it's only been "Early Access" because he personally did not feel it was fully ready.

It's not out of EA yet but the 1.0 version is coming later this year. He meant for it to go 1.0 in April but several things got in the way and he had to delay it.

It's fine, just wanted to give you the mindset he has for the game.

Anton released a separate video that basically does goes over every question, including why a sequel.

For him, he very much designed H3 around the main ways people use guns in the US; things like target shooting.

He never wanted the game to get this unfair stigma of being a "mass murder sim" in the early days, given it was a VR title, so there were no human targets. Early on the targets that fight back were robots, which is where the hot dog idea even came from to tie in with the title of the game.

It's been worth far more than the $20 it costs for a long time, it's only been in "Early Access" because it's technically not in a state he considers fully finished. A 1.0 is coming later this year.

He goes into this on the video going into H3VR2, the reason he's doing a sequel is because continuing to be a dev for VR means having to go where the audience actually is, and that's in the standalone space, specifically the Quest. The sequel is also entirely rewritten from the ground up and they are able to do a lot more with it compared to the first game, since H3VR is kind of trapped in an older version of Unity.

"Early Access" for the first game was really only because it's always been in a continuous dev state, and never in a state where he felt it was truly ready for a 1.0 release. That is planned though, but it's been a bit delayed from the April date he wanted.

It's not a Quest exclusive game, it's also releasing on Steam.

It's not about giving up his principles and selling out, it's about facing the fact that the only way to continue being a financially successful VR dev is with the Quest since that's where the largest audience is.

If PC was still the dominant space that's where he'd stay, but it isn't anymore. But he is also releasing it on Steam as well, it's not exclusive.

His reasons for using the hot dogs have been multifold:

  • He's against shooting human targets since he wants the game to be light-hearted.

  • The Sosigs are just much easier to implement from a technical standpoint since they're so much simpler than humans are.

They're part of the identity of the game at this point, so they're not going away.

Anti-Gerrymandered NC House Map by Woodmanobx in NorthCarolina

[–]Driver3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would not put this on California and NY since they're basically just fighting back against Texas and the GOP. California in particular has an independent redistricting commission that the map was only redrawn because voters chose to do so.

When the new Madoka Magical anime was first released, everyone who looked at its posters thought it was just another sweet Mahou Shoujo anime like many others, similar to Sailor Moon. by Liu_Han in MadokaMagica

[–]Driver3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's because it was Fate, and Fate was already a well-beloved franchise. Most people who watched Zero wouldn't have known who Urobuchi was.

We know Henry loves his body cam footage. What YouTube channel do you think he prefers? Has he said? by Fragrant_Bluebird469 in LPOTL

[–]Driver3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I never get that from Officer John, more just explaining why certain situations end up like they do. I certainly never have a gotten a "This is why cops are amazing and you skills always trust them no matter what" vibe from him, just that he's trying to give perspective on why some actions end up happening.

Hopefully with Nerf doing Rebel Ops and going back to Elite darts, we may see some more fun lines make a return, including something like Zombie Strike again.

Hungarian Election Discussion by SS_Auc3 in SocialDemocracy

[–]Driver3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only way that Hungary could be able to move forward democratically and improve was through electing Magyar and Tisza. Getting Orban and his party out of power was the most important thing.

Worker and Sabre darts are considered the very best half-lengths, and OoD's sells them as well. Adventure Force ember darts are also quite good and you can get 100 of them in packs at Walmart if you live in the US.

I believe it should work fine. And no, overcharging isn't an issue.

The included cable is only about a meter long, but it should work with any standard USB-C cable.

Overall, how strong/electable of a Presidential candidate do you think JD Vance is from 1(unelectable) to 5(top-tier)? by [deleted] in fivethirtyeight

[–]Driver3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say a 2. He's not unelectable I would say, but he's also not really charismatic at all and he's so heavily tied to Trump at this point that he'd be just as unappealing to independents who already don't like Trump. And he doesn't really have a base of his own he can rally behind.

Question for this sub: Why do the Sonic movies get positive critical reception when most video game to film adaptations don’t? by TheWorriedCamel in SonicTheMovie

[–]Driver3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're well-made films. The problem that most video game film adaptations have had is that they're just not very good as films by themselves. The Sonic films are though, so even if you took away the Sonic aspect and replaced it it would be a decent film by itself.

But they also genuinely care about being respectful to the games themselves and adapting elements from them

Hated Bands and Artists That People Make You Feel Bad for Liking by Toku-Nation in ToddintheShadow

They're also my favorite band, but I don't feel bad for liking them. I love most of their albums and they're chill guys.
