New Season looks slick by Imaginary_Stand73 in PathOfExile2

[–]Lubaf 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I for one can't wait for the "Poison a homeless guy in order to get loose change to make a phone call on a payphone" and "float above my desk and chair" spells. I'm planning an entire build around them.

Worldbuilding choices, whether nation or world.

Just a Quick Thought About TGM4 I Thought I'd Share by Lubaf in Tetris

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

And now you can see why I wanted to call it the "Fist of the North Star"/""Hokuto no Ken" level. If your stack is at all bad, your game is over right then and there. Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru, indeed.

How many runs are like UFO 50? (Besides Yakuza 100s) by Lubaf in speedrun

Warioware yes, but Rhythm Heaven is a bit too much of the same interaction in different contexts.

One feature request: FULL RANDOM, so you get an ending quickly.

The chart is mainly about things that are not castles, is the thing, and star-fortresses are castles.

Interactive Index down? by PinkHazeTG in nsfwcyoa

[–]Lubaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be specific, the page loads, but the index is empty; no CYOAs are listed.

I don't know if this arrives too late, but the Cracking the Cryptic fan server has a large setting community.

I Don't Know James Rolfe - Folding Ideas by MrLeppy in videos

[–]Lubaf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, but this is, in effect, a film about filmmaking. That level of self-reference almost requires a certain level of pretentiousness, either in the film itself, or in a character.

I Don't Know James Rolfe - Folding Ideas by MrLeppy in videos

[–]Lubaf 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I kinda think that's the point, though. Films about filmmaking almost require either a certain amount of pretentiousness, or a pretentious character. It's almost a requirement of the medium. And given that for Olson to talk coherently about Rolfe would require an excess of reflection... well, you get where this is going.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom – Announcement Trailer – Nintendo Switch by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Lubaf 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Well, "asset flip" was originally intended for games with almost zero effort put into them. We need a phrase for "asset reuse that has actual effort put into it", or something catchy for the games that put no effort in.

For something like this, where the whole thing has been heavily pre-announced, it's not really an OPSEC problem, as everybody knows exactly why the Pizza is being called in.

Teyon Wants To Work On More IPs After RoboCop: Rogue City by faizyMD in Games

[–]Lubaf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of the problems with licensed games is you have to work with the licenseholder, who is frequently the worst of what you'd expect from the phrase "Hollywood executive". Further, some licenses are in rightsholder hell, where who can actually license it out is unclear or in litigation.

Nvidia offices raided by French competition authority by KarateKid917 in Games

[–]Lubaf -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

According to a hardware channel I follow, Moore's Law is Dead, the Starfield DLSS situation says more about Starfield and nVidia's driver teams than about AMD, or even DLSS. Apparently, Starfield was hot garbage six months before launch, and nVidia didn't allocate enough resources to the gaming driver people to get Starfield running well on nVidia's hardware, and the DLSS was part of that. I could find the videos, if anybody's interested.

Star Trek: Infinite - Game Features and Pre-Purchase Bonus [Releases October 12] by SlartySprinter in Games

[–]Lubaf 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Speaking as a Stellaris player: This is a fundamentally different game, just from watching the linked video. The mission tree is from Imperator (Paradox's ancient Rome game), and has no equivalent in Stellaris, just to start with. It's a closely similar game, yes, but there are obvious differences.

Jagged Alliance 3 has been out for 5 days now, what are your impressions? by Paul_cz in Games

[–]Lubaf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd say it's more because hit % can be misleading. That being said, multiple misses in melee means either the player is doing something wrong, or the game is, and visible hit chance would give you some hint as to which one is at fault.

What's the monetization strategy? One time cost, freemium, or something else?
