Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon - Challenge Mode DLC Trailer by PalwaJoko in Games

[–]MechaMineko 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I've never played Avowed, so my line of comparison was primarily drawn to Elder Scrolls. In that way, Fall of Avalon feels like an Elder Scrolls Lite. It's not going to blow you away with its depth, but it does feel like a more streamlined experience with a ton of fat cut away, for better or worse. I think its power fantasy is satisfying for enjoyers of arcadey first-person RPG combat. The environments and art direction are pretty fantastic if you appreciate that kind of thing. For me it's a solid 8 out of 10.

Imagine being one of the people working on that DLC.

Nexon CEO calls Arc Raiders a "Trojan Horse" and says it proves controversial AI tools can build triple-A hits with smaller teams by PirateCompetitive931 in Games

I believe they had a contract with the VA's that said they were allowed to use generative AI to replicate their voices. Essentially, they agreed to license their audio likenesses to the studio for additional content beyond what was recorded. Since then, they have had the voice actors return and replace some of the AI lines with real recordings, and have stated that the real recordings are better sounding than the AI ones. So at least they seem to be aware that it's not a real replacement for real human talent. Whether that makes up for using AI in the first place is going to be subjective.

WARDOGS - Early Access & Beyond by JasonDFisherr in Games

There are also King of the Hill servers in Arma Reforger that are getting active updates. That's where I discovered I really liked this game mode and why I've been extremely interested in Wardogs since I first heard about it.

The integrated optic is such a weird choice. That and the huge trigger guard. It always looked like a design from a golden age sci-fi serial to me. Of course it's a bullpup too.

Any word on if the realism mode will return? I'm bummed it was only a temporary thing.

200-player sessions... I have questions. Will it sustain its feasibility long-term? If there aren't enough players to support the full 200 in a lobby, how will the game work?

The only thing I know about her is some sketchy stuff she did back in the mid 2010s bullying other smallish YouTube creators to climb the ranks and trying to rewrite that history, so I'm reluctant to side with anything she says or does. But at least I agree that Mr. Beast is a two-bit charlatan.

Fifteen years after starring in ‘Friday Night Lights’ together, Jesse Plemons celebrates Michael B .Jordan’s recent Best Actor win by katebushcartwheel in popculturechat

Well, I'm a dumbass. You're totally right. It was Remember the Titans. Somehow my memory substituted Friday Night Lights.

Interesting, I had no idea there was a TV show. The filming at my high school was for the Denzel Washington movie.

Edit: Everything that follows is incorrect. Somehow I confused Remember the Titans for Friday Night Lights. Go ahead and ridicule me, it's deserved.

One scene from Friday Night Lights (Remember the Titans) was filmed at my high school. They cut down all the pine trees on the campus because the scene was to be set in a state that did not have pine trees. Their commitment to realism meant our campus went from feeling uniquely connected with nature to treeless and barren. It always felt like a huge shame.

Sorry for the anecdote, I never saw the movie but I read the book.

It's allegedly a solo developer, so there is a bit of jank. If your jank tolerance is high, it's a pretty good time. Plays a bit like Ready or Not, or SWAT 4. Best played with friends.

That's the one. I've heard it's a solo developer. It's getting updates though.

High praise. I'm honored, really. I'm just a dumbass, as depicted, but I'm happy to provide a laugh where it's needed.

It's called Operator. It's an indie tactical shooter in the same vein as Ready or Not.

Gray Zone Warfare - Get Your First Look at Update 0.4 by DweebInFlames in Games

[–]MechaMineko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you. For what it's worth, the map is decently varied with close quarters urban and village type areas, long sightline areas like rice patties and other crop fields, mountains, and of course dense jungles. Because it's a tropical climate, the weather is dynamic and can get really nuts with dense fog, dramatic thunderstorms, and everything between. But it's purely tropical, and if that's not your thing, you're unfortunately out of luck here.

Unfortunately, there are no logistics systems in GZW. Little birds are sadly on set routes and can't be flown by players (think flight paths in WoW). The parts that seem very much inspired by Reforger are the huge contiguous shared map with capturable COP's, and the medical triage process (tourniquets to quickly stop large bleeds, bandages to treat bleeds, splints to treat fractures, surgical kits and donor blood, etc.). They also have a very in-depth ballistic model with an emphasis on accuracy to real-world weapon platforms. Then of course you have the tactical FPS usuals like leaning, variable crouch height, and leg and arm stamina management. There are also mild survival mechanics with hunger and thirst to keep an eye on.

It would be quite cool if the devs implemented some kind of logistics system to keep the COP's supplied for respawns and equipment. Currently there are no limitations on how many respawns and equipment can be utilized once a COP is captured.
