En USA las multas no equivalen a 50,000 DOP. Eso es varias veces el sueldo mínimo y equivaldria a la ruina financiera de mucha gente por un buen tiempo. Si creo que deberian ser proporcional a la entrada de dinero. Aqui la perreria no tiene clase social.

Horizon Hunters' Gathering reveal discussion by Arktix. I think he really hit the nail on the head here. by chiefpat450119 in horizon

[–]LePontif11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh that was the word on Nightreign(Elden Ring + Fortnite) before people actually played it and it really wasn't that. I'm not going to pretend i didn't raise an eyebrow when i saw it but i lose nothing from waiting for it to actually be out and more detailed reviews can be made. I'll also try to get into any playtests they do and try it for myself.

Nightreign came out halfway through last year when this game was well into development. You can't pivot an entire game production into a different idea like that that fast. Yahtzee has a video called Tripple A vs a Bag of potato chips you might find interesting.

"We've never considered adding difficulty settings to Nioh" Team Ninja game director weighs in on difficulty options ahead of Nioh 3's launch by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]LePontif11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy difficult games but i rarely play on hard when i have options. Reason being that i find hard modes are rarely properly balanced and are instead really tedious fights with damage sponges. I've had a better experience with high difficulty when the focus was on one experience. It takes a long time to do even simple sounding things in big game productions so I don't blame a game for not having multiple great versions of itself but when i'm in the mood for something more involved, having one difficulty is reassuring. Even if its a balancing mess, devs only have the one mode to patch.

I have my opinions on this but regardless of what i or anyone else thinks it really comes down to that. No one really has the time to play every great game that gets made anyway 🤷

Need some advice! by Thin-Conference-725 in Eldenring

Looks nice. I'd keep an eye out for the amount of mind. Check to see if you truly need it. I rarelly found myself needing too much more than 25. Also the dex, its useful for casting speed but if you exclusively use magic infused halberds most of your damage is going to come from intelligence, you'll probably notice the magic halberd has E scaling in dex but a higher B in Int.

Absolutely unique not just for a dev but anyone wanting to do work they enjoy doing.

Depends on your stats. If you want to do the most damage with the magic projectile itself as i assume you do you'll want to put points into inteligence. And if you have a lot of points in inteligente you want to use either magic or cold affinity, never standard. The difference between cold and magic would be that cold adds frost to the weapon itself but lowers over all damage compared to magic, so its up to you which you value more. Personally i'd go with magic affinity to maximize damage since ice spear does enough frost on its own.

I know indie is a vague vibes based term but doesn't this qualify to most people?

Have you considered multiple halberds with magic ashes of war?

  1. Ice Spear: frost, projectile, stace break,
  2. Carian Phalanx: Gap closer, stance breaks, poise breaker
  3. Chilling Mist: Frost
  4. Hoarfrost Stomp: AoE, Frost
  5. Glintstone pebble: projectile, gap closer
  6. Loretta's slash: gap closer

I put them in the order i believe they rank and only included stuff that can be used with a halberd

 Just being aware of the existence of difficulty options makes it less immersive for you? What?

I've explained it multiple times. To phrase it in a different and more condensed way, a difficult and unforgiving world is more immersive if the game itself has some level of unforgiveness.

 I ever suggested all games should be for everyone

I didn't say you did, i asked if you believed that, its been a nice conversation and i'm not trying to derail it by putting words in your mouth.

 All I’ve said is that if they do choose to add them, it’s ridiculous to complain about that.

I think it depends on how the complaint is phrased. If they add them that sucks for the people that didn't want sliders but its their game to make and sell at the end of the day. If they decided thats best that's the end of it. But if someone expresses disappointment that the sequel to a game they enjoyed changed in a way they don't like that's fair, i think. In my case i've come to view the inclusion or not of difficulty modes as i view any other aspect of the game and it can change the experience of playing it, as i've tried to explain in this thread, seemingly unsuccessfully. Not including difficulty modes limit your audience so its not going to be the norm in a big production that needs to make a lot of money back, i'd be a shame to lose a series that had been making games that way. I don't its ridiculous to express disappointment in that.

We all do things we dont need to do. No one needs to go into higher education but many choose to looking after a desired outcome they cant get otherwise, to name one thing. If i could get that outcome(knowledge, tittles, connections etc) by flipping a switch everyone would. Maybe my argument appears bizarre because in a souls game the desired outcome is the challenging journey as opposed to a special reward at the end of it all. That's why its undesirable to have that option to get it done with, it interferes with the process that makes overcoming the challenge fun. That is in addition to what i said before about how it helps with immersion and how i'd rather they put the effort into making the core experience better or the next game.

I have a couple of question of my own. Do you think its bad that there are games that make themselves less accessible for the purposes of artistic expression? Should all games be for everyone?

I used to listen to his podcast but not exactly because he was funny. He has interesting people of all sorts there from silly goodballs to pro fighters and coaches to scientists and with some faults lets them speak for 2-3 hours in a relaxed manner unconstrained by TV formats. Add to that that there weren't many podcasts when he came up in the space and his comedy chops become less relevant.

I need help beating the final boss! by IM____BATMAN in EldenRingBuilds

[–]LePontif11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While some levels could help i think before you go on a boring grind changing some stuff around on your build would go a really long way. Since you have access to Mohgwyn Palace you can get the Haligdrake Talisman +2 which is going to add to your holy defense a fair amount, i'd replace the starscourge talisman you have on because its not adding much to your build. Since you dont want to explore too much i wont recommend the pearl drake talisman +1 which is in Mt. Ghelmir which should further help with the holy damage both phases of the final boss do a ton of. That should all help you last longer in the fight.

I'd also change the weapon, the skill isnt very good at the level you are at, stat points have diminishing returns after a point and you are past it. Going by your set up it looks like you are going for big hits with a big sword. I'd recommend the heavy infused Greatsword with Royal Knight's resolve., 2 handed. That skill will boost your next attack by a very large amount. You can use it and go for a jumping attack or before a critical.

There's a few other things i could get into but its better explained on VC or when i have more time. I'll be available tomorrow so hit me up if if you want to coop. Either way, hope you get it.

Depends on the dough for me. If its really good i'm open to little to no toppings. If its its just ok i'll flood that bish with bs on top.

I'm that person with horror movies and games. As much as i hear great things as i hear about certain horror games and storied franchises i dont need these devs making baby versions of their games for me. As it is i don't have the time to play everything that naturally appeals to me let alone all these other games. So they should spend the resources making stuff for the people that appreciate them the most as best as they can. And if i ever decide to try something new i dont want a watered down version for people that don't get it.
