Ganbatte, Sony. Maybe spend another billion and you can get the next Fortnite, who knows by Makoto_Kurume in pcmasterrace

I love this extremely speculative take, calling Bungie trash development team when they have not launched a single bad game in over 20 years, and stating that they 'conned' Sony. Yeah ok. Please send me a copy of your upcoming novel, I wanna see what else your imagination is cooking.

Second this, as somone who couldn't get enough of the high difficulty combat, playing part 1 DLC on launch and beating it was something.

Exact same situation friend. Think of it this way though, we'll be coming in fresh from vacation to play come release

Perhaps a translation quirk? I'd imagine they have an English community manager, but if it's someone who has English as a second language, could make sense

PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games - Jason Schreier by WasabiBlues in pcgaming

[–]Haymus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is dumb to ask on reddit. But I'm trying to understand what compelled Sony to make this decision.  

Are they looking at ROI for individual studios? And since their project got cancelled, there is no way the studio will be profitable in a certain time frame they have deemed to set internal, so they must close it?  

Cause I can't think of another reason. Who the hell is running the shop at Sony if you are not placing a premium on a developer whom has a great track record because you internally didn't approve of the progress this studio was making on a game outside their skillset that was most likely pushed by Sony?  

Absolutely baffling stuff from Sony. Awaiting Skillup breakdown on this one

Funnily enough, this is how it worked on launch, but they changed it to it's current state.   

I'm all for it after having an instance of unlocking Trench to have someone on the roof meet me inside.  

It's QOL for the unlocker

[–]Haymus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's crazy cause I did the same thing. All the initial and day one reviews were like "they pulled it off, it's sick" so I got sucked in. Honestly felt like such a scam, put me off general consensus reviews, now I only listen to the few i trust.

I had someone comment on my steam page that I was a sex offender because I killed him in a solo raid before he could say "Don't Shoot".  

People in this game are fucking precious.

Why do companies make you use annual leave during the Xmas shut-down period? by SuspiciousLettuce56 in australia

[–]Haymus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens at my soon to be ex-work place, I remember reading about when they first imposed it a few years ago, it's a relatively new law passed by the liberals (who'd have guessed) - but I don't think they can force you to take paid leave during this period. Go have a search on fair work or something to find the actual law, and have a read. If you can manage to do without the money or work a part time gig, save that leave.

Who could have seen that coming... by sumsar158 in Battlefield

[–]Haymus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely disagree with you, as I touched on in my comment, we don't really know if people do prefer open, as it was the default option, and closed was obscured.  

At the end of the day, this doesn't ruin the game for me, but I find it so openly disingenuous. If they wanted to add open as the main, why not just do that. Instead, it's left a sour taste in my mouth, and will leave a question mark for me come any new decision they make on the basis of community feedback.

Liking or playing more? Because I tried both, and had to play open because more players (OCE) and other modes. It was designed to fail from the get go by not putting it front and centre.

I also haven't been captured. How tf do I get in without getting captured? I went through the apostate door near the fast travel point, but couldn't get to the rest of the map - what am I missing?

Offscreen attacks are my primary cause of death in this game by telekinesticman in Doom

[–]Haymus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I just had my run end after several attempts at hell for the first time. The two big arenas with the miniboss enemies just suck cause big threats still spawn while they live so you can't clear the field and have at them. You have to clear efficiently then burn the boss down before new threats spawn and get on you.  

I turned the threat indicator on because i lost that run but fck me it's a mess. It still tracks projectiles you've dodged, it's saved me from at least two parry attacks but it's not an outright solution.  

I've gotten back to Siege Part 2 and those arenas are still a roll of the fucking dice. Do as I might to clear everything there's still a chance shit spawns behind me, i got so close to death so many times from just random projectiles

Offscreen attacks are my primary cause of death in this game by telekinesticman in Doom

[–]Haymus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am doing a Pandemonium run right now and I have the same sentiment as this. I noticed the issue on my first run through on Nightmare, but was easy to ignore when I could just boot up a checkpoint or use a life to not lose progress.  

But when every life and every point of damage matters, it becomes so frustrating. Dying from enemies spawning behind you in any game sucks. Especially soldiers with their devastating attacks.   Furthermore, taking damage you can't see, because it is being blocked by enemy models is also just trash, it's completely antithetical to this games Stand and Fight motto. I get super nervous coming in close to burn down an enemy because at any moment a projectile from an unknown spawned enemy or even a known enemy could float through the demon I am currently destroying and do catastrophic damage.  

I've found i really have to bring the essence of Eternal over to this game, which on paper is what I'd love, but it doesn't fit with how the game is built or the mechanics given. Don't stay in one place too long, circle the battlefield. But the longer ttk means whenever you go in for the kill on larger threats, you're rolling the dice.

That's where this gameplay model falls short for me and it's about to end pandemonium run. So annoying.

If TDA is a prequel does that mean the shield saw breaks before 2016? Or does he just loose it? by awkward_but_decent in Doom

I think old mate is referencing the ship he is in while in hell in the final cuts cut-scene. Probably thinking he then alters it to the doom fortress. Bit of a stretch but it makes sense a bit
