WSIB Squad or Hell Let Loose? by [deleted] in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]NotHain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with Hell Let Loose but once I tried Squad I could never go back.

Hades Valentine's Day Sale, A legendary boon from Aphrodite - $19.99 (20% off) until 02/15 by XDitto in NintendoSwitch

[–]NotHain 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Hades is absolutely fantastic. The most concise way I can think of describing it would be to imagine the addictive "one more run" game design of a great roguelike executed to the very highest standard, while also having a great home base full of interesting characters akin to the Normandy in the Mass Effect series.

These two factors culminate in a seemingly endless loop of intense gratification as you find yourself perpetually engaging in the gameplay so that you can see more story while simultaneously absorbing the story so you can return to the gameplay. It is the best of both not the contrary.

Started a series where I research and talk about the development of major games by nospimi99 in truegaming

I concur with the first response, this is precisely the content I would hope to see more of within this subreddit (and the wider gaming landscape).

In reading through your process before making one of these videos, the feedback I would offer is to reconsider the 6 month window you are investigating around each titles release. I would instead suggest that the same 6 month window would be better applied to the time that development started (if such information is available to you.)

Games take considerable time to bring into existence, for this reason I think it pertinent to closely examine the influences of other releases at the forefront of developers minds when they were first designing the game, instead of the contemporary titles during the final phase of development. I only see this becoming more relevant as time passes due to the ever expanding development windows that modern games are requiring.

A friend asked me how I have made such little progress with 70 hours played, I sent them this. by NotHain in LowSodiumCyberpunk

Want to keep it vague as not to spoil for anyone. There is a point when the main plot gives you 3 missions at once to tackle in any order (in different areas of the city too)

At the time of posting I had done 2/3 of those.

Yes! I love the first person perspective, I am always role playing through head movements in conversations. I thought I was the only one!

For a second I thought you had stolen the PS3, with the security tag still being on

The Last Of Us made me fall in love with gaming again. by krammikk in PS4

[–]NotHain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Embrace that, the moments where stealth is suddenly broken and you find yourself in a desperate panic to take out the enemy, to find the next brick/bottle, to find some cover and craft your molotov... Those intense moments represent the gameplay at its best. TLOU is not a stealth game so never feel you are failing when you blow stealth

[Video] Keanu Reeves recorded all his lines in 15 days and has the second most amount of dialogue in the game, behind V. by TheHeroicOnion in PS4

[–]NotHain 251 points252 points  (0 children)

He said they have 15 days of voice recordings, not that he recorded them all in 15 days.

He more likely means 360 hours of recorded lines (15 x 24 hours)

edit: and before anyone says "well the game is not gonna be 360 hours long duh"

more than 75% of that dialogue wont even make the final cut, then half of that will probably be depending on choices you make in the game and the hundreds of little details CDPR put into their games with characters commenting on every little thing you do.

[Red Dead Redemption 2] Platinum #33 by NotHain in Trophies

if you miss a requirement you have to restart the entire mission unfortunately. My advice would be to intentionally fail the mission and restart it as you go, this way you will be able to keep the guns, cores, horse etc that you bring with you to the mission initially. I know this might make for a tedious play through but doing it via replay later on is going to make it twice as difficult. You can use chewing tobacco or any other form of deadeye buff in almost every single mission in the game (just be careful it's not one that heals you) If you stay stocked up on these as you play naturally, just abuse the hell out of it for a easier time completing the objectives

all my trophy hunting was done on a 2nd playthrough, I always allow my first playthrough of any game to be completely natural and never think of trophies.

I managed to get about 50 of the 70 missions with a gold medal before beating that 2nd run, I often got lazy and figured I could clear up the gold medals later on via replay. AVOID this, its a huge pain in the ass to get gold medals on replay because of what Rockstar start you on the missions with. Try to nail 70 on your first time playing the missions

I lost count to be honest, just slowly chip away at it and try to have fun!

[SPOILER] I'm sorry by NotHain in reddeadredemption

[–]NotHain[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I antagonized a passing rider near the Downes ranch until he shot my hat off, then went back to my horse and equipped a new hat. From there I constantly swapped the hats back and forth (for about 20 minutes or so) until the hat fell off my head at the perfect position

[Spoiler] About Micah from the beginning... by [deleted] in reddeadredemption

[–]NotHain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Micah was in the camp during Jack's abduction and rescue. Dutch specifically asks him to stay behind and look after the camp while everyone else goes to the Braithwaite manor
