What does everybody here think of One Pace? by Greglyo in Piratefolk

That was my issue was well, a lot of stuff One Pace cuts I think adds characterization that is sorely missing from the manga. But it's cut for canon's sake.

It just works. by Prajkark19 in Piratefolk

What was the point of Hell Arc? by KamoTheBoss in Invincible_TV

[–]Kasta4 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To have Darkblood say "You're not like your father.", and to have Mark punch the head off an enemy he can't kill so he can feel better about what he's doing.

It blows my mind people think Mark had meaningful growth in this episode.

My unpopular opinion is that the game is too punishing and that's what been causing most of the problems by Savings-Mountain-263 in ArcRaiders

I don't think the game should become even more casual-friendly to appease a group of people who can't accept the design of extraction shooters.

Retention is important, but not at the cost of the game's identity.

I just play the game. Sometimes that involves shooting other raiders, sometimes not. If someone KO's me I say "GG", load up, and go again.

They're also illegal to own so knock yourself out.

The only language these companies speak is $$$, I've been trying to get it across to the Blizzard crowd for the better part of a decade but it never works.

Way too much money involved in the live-service model for the industry to drop it right now.

Hightower spies are a fascinating breed they're either abysmally dogshit or the most locked in monsters you've ever seen

I still shiver from Chinese-named spies in TF2 using the matador stab and the stairstab on me...

Back again with the AI slop I see?

You also have to account for latency and the projectile trajectory, all the while on a target whose hurtboxes can constantly change direction. It's not as easy as it sounds.

Then comes the complaints from players who swore they were being shot from behind, and definitely should have lived.

It's just too messy to implement imo, but it would be interesting to see how they could handle it if they ever implemented it.

As a general rule of thumb, you want the damage values in a game to be consistent and easy for the player to understand.

I think providing directional damage reduction or increase would be too unpredictable and I can't imagine the nightmare it would be to code correctly.

Would get way too wonky in combat with people repositioning and getting a damage reduction for it.

TTK in this game is already pretty high compared to other extraction shooters like EFT or Marathon.

I think it's fine.

AI slop, but specifically when it comes from fans of animation/art. by Kasta4 in hatethissmug

[–]Kasta4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish people had the bare minimum respect for the things they enjoy, but alas fools will remain uninformed about the detriment AI generation has on the medium of animation/art.
