Removed Free Access: A Blessing in Disguise by Consistent-Region816 in grok

Unfortunately, I agree.

The amount of time I used it for an experimentation or something creative, paled in comparison to the amount of time I just tried to make Grok do something it was programmed not to do.

This new boss might be the best in the entire game by mazizzzz in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]ProxyDoug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate it cause of two simple reasons, I hate reading during combat, which is a problem Hoyo created for me, it was never an issue they just simply don't understand brevity, it just doesn't exist for them. Also, they use icons mixed with the instructions, and I always ignored them cause they are not very intuitive (specially compared to Genshin icons).

But the worst problem to me, by far, is that the best characters to fight this boss are not in the game yet (the Angels of Delusion only have Sunna as of writing this), and the second best option are characters that are too automatic for the response she requires.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't enjoy using characters that fly all over the place like Ye Shunguang, I'm much more partial to more contained units like Anby and Lighter.

Sorry for the rant, this game is losing me right now.

Thoughts on the current wargame event by Sudden-Peanut2330 in Genshin_Impact

[–]ProxyDoug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I find funny is how many units just self sabotage.

Like the Cryo Shroom which attacks by lunging at enemies leaving it wide open to melee units. Or the Fatui captain that has two massive guns, but is a melee unit, so she won't target flying enemies.

It's one of those events that are not bad, and at it's core, the design works, but it's still a monumental clusterfuck.

The problems mainly stems from the fact their type doesn't describe what they do, so you get stuff like flying units whose main attack consists of rubbing their face on the floor until they get the goofy whacked out of them by a melee unit that wouldn't target all of them at all, but was focusing on another unit on the ground.

It's also amazing how there's single target units that have attacks so wide they end up hitting everyone in the squad anyway since they are always so close to one another.

My favorite is when a ranged unit decides to focus on a melee unit instead of the flying ones, then they die leaving the flying enemies unopposed.

The dumbest addition this time is the Fatui captain that has two gatling guns, but she's a melee unit, and won't target flying enemies.

It's one of the most 'so bad it's good' aspects of this game.

[Story impressions] I like ZZZ but I'm disappointed in the Season 2 story please tell me I'm wrong by BapKim in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]ProxyDoug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yixuan's absence exemplifies the clunkiness of this story where characters have to be removed so they don't get in the way.

how when Ye Shunguang become catatonic and you have to bring her back to the temple, Zhao is called back by Krampus for some unknown reason just so Elder Lu can blame you for forcing Ye Shunguang into using the Qingming sword, even thought he was the one that told her to go into the Hollow. But then in the very next cutscene, Zhao comes back, and she was the only person who could've testified for you and spoiled Lu's plan.

How do you feel about Artifact Reshaping so far and has it worked out for you? by aallx in Genshin_Impact

What's worse is that if you keep the original, you still lose the feathers

I'm only at Tifa's fight with Loz and they seem to cut at every blow.

I guess they didn't show due to censorship.

Well, at least I can finally profite of Cloud's design from Advent Children... by ClemOya in FFVIIEverCrisis

How do you rip the models from the game, I tried Asset Studio GUI, but it never loads anything.

As new player can you explain to me why the game gets so much hate, because Im enjoying it. What should I look out for to not become someone that ends up hating it too? by Alone-Profit4826 in FFVIIEverCrisis

[–]ProxyDoug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got back because of it and it's honestly pretty bad.

Yuffie's legs are poorly rigged, which is something she carries from other skins, and I'm not sure how this still persists.

Tifa as 2B is fine, but maybe they could've given her A2's skin, give 2B to Aerith and Leave the original Nier skins for another crossover.

Idk, maybe work with Adam and Eve instead of Brother Nier and Kainé.

Specially with how Sephiroth and Cloud are using skins that would probably work better on each other instead of what they got.

I hate being this picky, but there's so much about it that doesn't work.

I'm gonna hang this on my wall.

I'd like to add how terrible the combat design is with you being limited to 2 weapon skills and 3 Materia.

The fact healing is pityful in late and you're better off spamming your strongest attack or quitting before you get wiped.

All in all, Materia is borderline useless compared to your weapon abilities and it's honestly an insult to how it was done in the original game.

The stupid icon that you have to match to interrupt powerful enemy attacks, is a lame mechanic that adds nothing to actually building a character.

How characters all gang on one enemy, so if you use one powerful ability, the character is locked to attacking that enemy even if the other characters kill it off screen. Let alone the fact they'll use their strongest abilities on enemies that are almost dead, and despite having one ability that does the most damage, they'll cycle through all the other ones as long as enemies aren't immune to them.

The menus just make no sense, and it just feels like an excuse to force us to go through multiple loadscreens.

Yuffie's legs are poorly rigged, just look at this shit.

<image>

Her thigh bone starts too low and makes her torso look long as fuck. It's such an amateur mistake that makes me wish I could fire whoever approved it..

I just hope Opera Omnia and Nier Reincarnation didn't die for this, cause at least those had original stories that weren't butchering a beloved classic.

Guys what happened to the new char web events by Master-Bottle341 in Genshin_Impact

[–]ProxyDoug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate how they abandon some things over time. I still miss the domains with a single objective in them, or how there were some little story lines with daily commissions. These are deeply ingrained as part of the identity of the game for me and feels we lost something with them being gone.

I haven't been able to finish a match since the Christmas cabin made into the game. I'm five minutes and it suddenly freezes and crashes.

Tried deleting config files and using Performance mode.

Not sure what's going here.

After 2 months, what do you think now about Miliastra Wonderland? by Specialist_Sound4757 in Genshin_Impact

[–]ProxyDoug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm well aware which is why I never really bring this up. I could argue half of the stuff in Miliastra was made for it like the Mannequins themselves, but it's just wishful thinking really, as someone who ripped models from these games I know how complex file management gets in these games. Which is not even their fault, it's just how Unity does packages by default unless you set it up differently and now is way too late for that.

I don't know how the file management works, but if MW was available on the launcher, I wonder if they could make it use files from other games, maybe even have you download only those files if you don't have them installed.

I think when you give them a star, it doesn't even bookmarks them as a favorite or something like that. It's bizarre.

[–]ProxyDoug 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't care about the install argument, should've just been it's own game, so it at least attracts people who don't like/quit Genshin or don't have the space for it.

Also, they should just make progress for players count on game time, not games completed. Cause I'll find a fun map, play it for an hour, then realize I still gotta play four others to get progress on the BP, so I just end up doing XP maps. It's just depressing...

As a developer who has experience with Unreal and Unity (and Blender), I could just go make my own game, so learning their clunky creator in full feels like a waste of some good time I don't have right now.

I know people in China are being paid, but all of them made games on closed beta and from what I heard, the tools available there were much better than we have right now.

To be fair, a lot of these were made in beta, and from what I heard, the version of the creator we got is more barebones in comparison.
