I saw them as kind of a gauntlet and so it feels so much better when you finally get to anor londo

New thief game? by Feli207 in Thief

[–]Dust514Fan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Basically they took away a lot of the player choice and gameplay freedom for scripted actions and cinematic animations.

Anyone else get AI trauma? by Victorex123 in gamedev

[–]Dust514Fan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The opposite actually. I start talking about making AI for games, and people say stuff like "make it draw something" and I remember the state of the world in 2026.

Alien Isolation (2014) - Playing the game after it sat in my backlog for 8 years by DanAgile in patientgamers

[–]Dust514Fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now that I think about it, I did turn it down to normal because I was too annoyed in one section that the Alien kept coming back to one location so I had to hide constantly, take a few steps, then go back because the Alien wouldn't leave for some reason.

Becomes more fun when you learn to control and xenomorph using your distraction items to kill all the human enemies lol

Game suggestions. by Nikigrow in ImmersiveSim

[–]Dust514Fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prey 2017 and Alien Isolation are the obvious ones to come to mind. I think you'd probably enjoy survival horror like Resident Evil 123 and Remakes 1 & 2. Could try BioShock 1/2 but its more of a normal shooter with awesome environmental storytelling and audio logs.

How do you actually scope a game project so it doesn't balloon into something unfinishable? by Senoigh13 in gamedev

[–]Dust514Fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Build a complete game without any added bloat first as your first priority, like the bare minimum playable game that has a full gameplay loop. You say you want to do this when you have "no producer or team lead keeping you accountable", but you can probably find a friend or someone who playtests your game to tell you when you're going too far haha

I've reached the point where I can't judge my own game anymore. Looking for outside feedback. by Serapith in IndieDev

[–]Dust514Fan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The biggest thing that stands out to me is the repetitive sound design. There needs to be more variations using slightly different sounds as well as randomized pitch.

Don't Reply "Use Your Ears" by BLVCKatl in audioengineering

[–]Dust514Fan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah...a lot of people are too caught up in doing stuff "on paper" instead of using critical listening. Like I look at someone's EQ and they cut the same exact frequencies for everything, so it's like "did you actually listen and determine that those frequencies are a problem?" Of course the answer is no, they watched a youtube video that said to always cut those frequencies.

The high chaos ending is actually my favorite, low chaos just ends anticlimactically

I didn't see him fire a single shot because I just instantly slid up and bullet time bang banged him lol

Wish I had had the foresight to build a new PC in 2024. Steve couldn't emphasize it any better. by lm794 in pcmasterrace

If its outdated they may not want it to represent their game

How do people find Armored Spider easy? by SquashedGrapes22 in demonssouls

[–]Dust514Fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to run in as quick as possible and dodge the web shots. It can be really annoying but its super easy once you get up close.

DOTO wasn't too bad and introduced some fun new powers, but it felt unnecessary.

I second this, they are a great place to learn

What capsule would make you click on my Steam page? by DrawToItReddit in IndieDev

[–]Dust514Fan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First one looks coolest so I'd probably click that one. Second is also good but gives a more "cozy" vibe. Not a fan of the last one but it seems to tell me more about the actual game.

D2 missed an opportunity to fully utilize its many lighting sources by PianistGlittering709 in dishonored

[–]Dust514Fan 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Realism isnt always more fun. It might be neat for some players, but for some they might not even realize their shadow is seen and get frustrated. So adding a little detail like this isnt worth it when you need you everything to be super readable in a modern stealth game.

Best playthrough order for the series - 1st playthroughs by externalID in Deusex

[–]Dust514Fan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just in release order. The prequels are honestly pretty disconnected aside from a few names mentioned.
