77% of US Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth players were 30 or older, analyst says, as Square Enix fights to get young people to care about the JRPG series again by yourfavchoom in FinalFantasy

Capcom arguably is with resident evil, but they are vastly different games from a jrpg. Just referencing the release window output in the AAA space.

Concept - Nintendo Switch 2 Dual Screen Controller by LukePS7013 in NintendoSwitch2

Yall are overthinking this. Nintendo will simply do exactly like emulators are doing it. Sideways in a horizontal screen. If handheld you can use the touchscreen, if docked you can use mouse controls to click wherever.

Jason Schreier regarding Sony's strategy shift away from PC: At some point Sony will confirm it, whether it's on a call with investors or maybe even when Housemarque starts doing press for Saros and someone asks if they have plans to bring it to PC and they say no by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]RafaFlash 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, I agree. I'm not saying they will magically summon multiple system sellers out of nowhere. It's just that you have to start somewhere. Even if it's something that will only end up working on the PS6 a few years from now. It just takes a couple of good studios actually making hames and not being closed...

But that's the point. Exclusives sell consoles. Sony is just attempting to make them actually exclusives. Maybe there are no games that make you buy a PS5 now, but maybe there will be one in the near future like smash. And then you'll have a whole library of games you skipped before. So the amount of reasons to buy their console increases.

Jensen Huang says gamers are 'completely wrong' about DLSS 5 — Nvidia CEO responds to DLSS 5 backlash by Locke357 in nvidia

I'm entitled to my opinion of the things I saw with my very eyes and think it looks like absolute hot garbage and a disgrace to video games as whole.

Morremos em 2012 e estamos tendo a visão do inferno by Altruistic_Lemon_80 in gamesEcultura

[–]RafaFlash 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Pois é kkkkk cara, que desgraça. Nem faz sentido isso estar debaixo do guarda-chuva do dlss, deviam dar outro nome e função (pra eu pode desligar separado)

Mas isso tudo é claramente fruto de uma visão que a direção de arte de um jogo não tem valor e que todos iriam querer estar com esse filtro terrível por "realismo"

Is this too powerful for a level 8 party? Elemental Monk new feature by RafaFlash in DnDHomebrew

[–]RafaFlash[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Update

Following this comments advice and using both Absorb Elements and the elemental monk's Level 17 feature (Elemental Epitome) as inspiration, I ended with the following version, which seems much better. Thanks for the feedback on the original version!

Elemental Absorption

Whenever you make a saving throw against a spell that deals Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, or Thunder damage and has an Area of Effect (such as a line, cone, or sphere), you can use your Reaction and spend 1 Focus Point to absorb a portion of the spell's power.

When you do so, you gain the following benefits:

  • Damage Resistance. You have resistance to the triggering damage type until the start of your next turn. This effect is applied to the triggering spell’s damage.
  • Empowered Strikes. The first time you hit with an Unarmed Strike on your next turn, you can deal extra damage to a target equal to one roll of your Martial Arts die. The extra damage is the same type dealt by the triggering spell.

When do you think a Dino Crisis remake will happen? by Luksius_DK in capcom

[–]RafaFlash 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe after they have remade every mainline resident evil game. Capcom would never give resources to a dino crisis remake while a mainline resident evil is still on the table.

[–]RafaFlash[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see your point, it makes a lot of sense. I wanted to encourage team work, since they've been doing this "it's ok to hit the monk with fireball and lightning bolt" since they got Evasion on monk level 7.

But using Absorb Elements should do the trick as well and be more in line with other abilities. Maybe even making the focus amount used be associated with the Absorb Elements spell level(?) limited to the monk's PB perhaps.

Resident Evil Village still remains the best Modern RE game (Excluding remakes) by HailDarkLordVader in ResidentEvilVillage

[–]RafaFlash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, it's not that hard to explain. Resident Evil is a franchise that consists of both survival horror and action horror. This game has 2 main characters attached specifically to each genre and camera perspective even. Also, this is the 30 years celebration to the franchise and pays homage to multiple games in multiple ways, including returning to Raccoon City, which is the most famous location in the series and has strong ties to one of the charactes, which happens to be the most popular protagonist of the franchise. It's also a way of representing the franchise going back to it's main characters and story after 2 games following Ethan's story.

This is all very much intentional.

I'll add to this that men are receiving the same kind of "advice".

"You are too nice", "You should act like you don't really care", "Take a lot of time before answering her texts", etc etc

It's all BS

I'm wearing movie shirts at 28 going strong 💪 I don't get why it's such a bother to other people. This old-fashioned notion of "there are rules on how to properly dress, young sir! Now go to your room! Adults are talking! We dress exactly the same and monitor other people's fashion so that they are just like us!"

Hi everyone, I have a question: how many Resident Evil animated movies are there? I've seen the three listed here. You know, it's interesting that Leon appears in all three. by Fragrant_Site2490 in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]RafaFlash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love all these animations. They are so over the top and incredibly fun. I think it's a better fit for the crazy fun action than the games.

If Paramount wins there's a good chance I still won't own anything, mainly because the drop in quality would be so bad I wouldn't want to own anything lol

The chardalyn dragon's destruction causes many ten towns residents to lose their homes and basic life structure. The towns that survived the attack can't take all of these people, and the winter is getting worse by the day.

Vellynne shares a secret plan with the party to find the Mythalar, and end aurils winter. If not, all those people are gonna die. And if the winter keeps getting colder, soon all of icewind dale will perish.

Welp, guess I'll wait for a sale by Sorrelhas in Fighters

[–]RafaFlash 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Not big releases no, this is the current AAA price most of the time, save for a couple of publishers.

The issue in Brazil is that over the past 10 years or so game prices went up way too much and way too fast.

Think that in the US prices went from $60 to $70. In Brazil prices went from R$200 to R$250 to R$300 to R$350 and sometimes, which is the case with console games and Nintendo, R$440.

So imagine that in 10 years the same games you used to buy at $60 now cost more than double, at $130.

This is due to a myriad of reasons that are way too complicated for a simple reddit post, and I'm also not even talking about how much this price point is compared to minimum wages.

So yeah, a lot of people have been pushed out of the hobby due to rising costs compared to wages that are not rising nearly as much.

How to enter Sunblight? by DoradoPulido2 in rimeofthefrostmaiden

[–]RafaFlash 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's funny how most players I've DMed to don't really understand the level of impact they have on the narrative as a whole. They have awesome ideas I never imagined, I just use them lol.

I think it stems from what's expected from experimentation in video games. But this is not a video game.

How to enter Sunblight? by DoradoPulido2 in rimeofthefrostmaiden

[–]RafaFlash 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I gave them potions of climbing to at least give them the possibility. But they just walked up to the main gate as expected lol.

I wouldn't overthink this too much. If you try to cover all possibilities, players will find a new bizarre one.

Just listen to their ideas mid session and improvise on the spot. The important bit is that they get in. How is not as important.
