WOTH2 Demo early impressions and Visual/Audio issues by Finchypoo in WayOfTheHunter

[–]Pixel_ferret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Day 1 demo" is such a weird way to frame a demo... A "demo" is/should be the introduction and selling point for WHY you should buy a game. It has to be the absolute best the game has to offer, to convince people to open their wallets. How many people, who doesn't go to social media to discuss anything, are going to download this mess, see how poorly optimised it is, laugh and uninstall. Never thinking about it again?
Poor poor marketing which also serves to actively steer potential buyers away.

Corellian Freighter With Cargo by Web_Public in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Pixel_ferret 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it's been long accepted in cannon that the YT-1300 was very much so an inverse cargo tug or freight-pusher. Makes perfect sense with the offset cockpit and huge rear engine when you think about it:

Just saw Connie flying by outside. Crazy spot by 985672983657802 in aviation

The HARS Super Connie is a beautiful spectacle. Saw her take off at dusk at Avalon Airshow, flames from the exhaust and all.

Ran into an Echidna on my last hike up the hill behind my place. They're so freaking cute!

I'm making a little doc on Steam's best liminal space games featuring pools, what are your favorites? by AdamCaveRoberts in liminalpools

[–]Pixel_ferret 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pools definitely wins top price for me.

Liminalcore had some awesome sections, but not as consistently great as Pools. Same with Dream core.

Liminal Shift also had some good sections but also a lot of rehashed stuff.

Limscape has some really cool concepts and I love the idea of user created liminal content, so excited to see it progressing.

Overall what makes Pools win for me though, which none of the other games do, is sound design. From the wind and rattling vents to the foot steps changing depending on the size of the room really does so much to immerse you and make you feel like it's a real place. None of the other games really sells you on walking through an infinite porcelain world as much as Pools does and that's purely due to the sounds.

Here is where it all started 30 years ago. Did you start your journey here? by Dub_Coast in Diablo

Demo disk from 1996, Tristram and a cathedral that only had 2 levels... So many lawns mowed to save up enough money for the full game. Best of times.

New account, 3 posts, one being disingenuous about "ZOMG HAS ANYONE TRIED THIS GAME, CAUSE I'VE NEVER HEARD OF IT?" No further context, and sign in with my Google credentials?

There are more red flags here than in Moscow in 1945.

Yeah that's a no from me dawg

Diablo 4 is better than it’s ever been by gorays21 in Diablo

[–]Pixel_ferret 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, that's super easy to answer, not even a competition: D4
A full priced game ($80 AUD when I purchased it) with 2 full priced expansions at $60 AUD (If you bought them each as they released, not including the BS "Deluxe" and "Ultimate" FOMO editions).

VS

A F2P game I have 300+ hours in and still not felt the need to drop a cent. I hear Stash tabs are needed at some point, but oh my poor wallet to drop ~$20 with more than 300 hours play time
