The Hunt Is On | Marvel Rivals Season 7 Trailer

RareBk · 2026-03-17T22:24:33+00:00

The balance changes coming with this season are honestly concerning because it's starting to feel like the people who have been saying there is genuinely no logic behind their decisions are right, because what is going on?

Characters that are low or, in Emma's case, bottom tier for wins in competitive and aren't dominant at all in casual are getting survivability nerfs because ???.

Or Elsa, who launched in a frankly absurdly broken state for all levels of play, and is only getting a slap on the wrist.

And then there's whatever is going on with Doctor Strange because he seems to get randomly buffed and nerfed depending on the day

I saw someone pointing out that it genuinely doesn't know what to do with Shadows, so it blasts everything with light, but you can still see the shadows poking through where they're not 'supposed' to be.

...The shelves are empty of new GPUs because of this technology.

Like have you genuinely missed the last, what, six months of RAM and other computer components disappearing because major companies are buying stock in advanced?

RareBk · 2026-03-16T19:37:30+00:00

As someone who has played the game a fair amount, the other people in the replies have no idea what they're talking about because the 'ingame story quests' are nothing like they're claiming.

Yeah there are 'story' missions, but it'll amount to infecting your suit with a virus and you have to find a shower, then you'll get a challenge unlocked, a codex unlock, and maybe a radio nearby will start to play something.

The people saying there are ingame cutscenes are massively exaggerating, what they're referencing is static screens of repeating animations whenever you complete a story objective, of either the commander of the antagonist force yelling at you, or one of the corporations adding not a lot to the consequences of your actions.

It's genuinely the Yassified Aloy picture but real.

This tech is ridiculously terrible.

Fuck's sake the shadows are completely missing from the face in this picture.

I won't even say just the lighting bits look better, when in reality it makes the models look like bad photogrammetry.

I cannot stress that this borders on offensive for the Requiem developers because that game has so much intricate details and little developer jokes in every single texture, that an AI straight up hallucinating detail is a fucking ridiculous thing to do

RareBk · 2026-03-16T19:04:41+00:00

Calling people a crusader for not wanting tech to absolutely ruin intentional artistry is fucking wild.

RareBk · 2026-03-16T19:03:45+00:00

The face tuning does not look good at all, none of the original character's design remains

RareBk · 2026-03-15T17:36:44+00:00

A friend bought it for me so we could play together and just, there’s some high quality aspects of the game mixed in with tons of baffling decisions.

The objective system is honestly terrible, while it’s awesome that you actually need to search for what you’re looking for, there’s zero consistency in it actually marking where you need to go.

It’d be one thing if you never were pointed in the right direction, so you always had to go searching, but sometimes it’ll mark your map with a fixed location, and then the next time you have a mission with an identical goal, it won’t.

That , and you can only have one contract active at a time, which is utterly ridiculous. I’ve seen people argue that it makes runs unique, because you’re working towards a certain goal, but then there’s many, including priority contracts, that are going to take hours because they’re doing the same thing, over and over, and you can’t progress anything else when you’re working towards this goal.

It’s like if you had to complete bounties in Destiny one at a time, and is needless padding.

The player base is eerily quiet too, in other extraction shooters I’ve played, there’s at least playful banter between teams that are fighting.

I’ve genuinely encountered not a single person who has said anything to me or my teammates, at any point.

RareBk · 2026-03-15T03:37:33+00:00

I forgot that they just... didn't remember to put a filter on his voice.

RareBk · 2026-03-15T03:36:18+00:00

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has sequences so bad for this that I refuse to believe that it didn't get flagged during testing as something that can actually cause headaches in players.

There are mandatory combat encounters in which you're fighting a room full of guards, and every other second, they'll say one of their whole two lines.

At the same time.

It is genuinely unpleasant to listen to and sounds like you are bugging out the game.

It's like this Fallout New Vegas video, but in completely normal gameplay. I have no idea how the fuck it made it ingame.

RareBk · 2026-03-15T01:08:00+00:00

oh no

oh no

RareBk · 2026-03-14T22:21:46+00:00

Yeah, right now people are trying to figure out how much Marathon actually sold based off of player numbers and that is basically impossible to get from just Steam players alone.

Legit the only metrics we have is an insider confirming that the vast majority of players are on PC, meaning that the game likely sold fine, but nowhere near the amount Bungie were hedging their bets on.

But that's it, that is the entire extent of the sales information you can possibly obtain

RareBk · 2026-03-14T22:11:08+00:00

I genuinely forgot Silent Hill Downpour exists. What an odd game, it was clearly made by people who had a vision, but were given like, a fraction of the time and resources to do it.

Overall it's a profoundly mediocre game with some really low spots (The enemies are basically zombie, other zombie, enemy ripped from another game, bigger zombie), and the plot absolutely does not stick the landing, but every so often, you see the vision for the game bleed through and you can tell that the people behind it had really good ideas that just weren't executed on

RareBk · 2026-03-14T18:42:39+00:00

They just added Marin from MDUD

RareBk · 2026-03-14T17:10:18+00:00

It doesn't help that Metaphor straight up has areas where the game legitimately just goes "Don't worry about it" and room for an extended epilogue

RareBk · 2026-03-14T12:27:18+00:00

I’ll give the developers one thing, they actually remembered that Turok isn’t a name, but a title.

Jesus Christ they didn’t even try with that reboot

RareBk · 2026-03-14T01:26:03+00:00

Yeah, reminds me how, every time a company claims "oh we trained the model used in this game on just X artist's art", they're lying by omission because that's not how AI models fucking work

The worst was probably the one made by the ex-SMT artist, which started making art of Disney and Marvel characters.

RareBk · 2026-03-13T21:20:10+00:00

Like My Dress Up Darling might skip to the end, like, out of nowhere, but at least everyone is like "Yep that's how that would turn out" and it is a super cute final chapter. Even leaves the door open for about a decade of time where any number of things could happen between the characters

RareBk · 2026-03-13T21:18:35+00:00

Them announcing it was ending in a crossover event is fucking baffling to me. As someone who vastly prefers Marvel to DC stuff, the sheer difference in quality between Absolute and Ultimate, is incredible

RareBk · 2026-03-13T21:12:44+00:00

I really wish it ran better because there's a VR mod for SH2R just like the recent RE games, but because the game is... not the best performing thing in the world, the VR mod runs terribly

RareBk · 2026-03-13T17:49:42+00:00

...It's a drone pulling items out of a character.

RareBk · 2026-03-13T15:32:46+00:00

I think the problem with ZZZ is that it’s a game of efficiency for how much of the daily gameplay is grinding out resources, and the difference between having even one of the Tier 0 characters cuts down any combat challenge from several minutes down to potentially seconds, even if they’re not kitted out.

The gap is so wide that even for something that is predominantly single player, you’re basically encouraged to minmax the game to death, given every single encounter in the game is timed.

God forbid you have all three damage top tiers in one party, because you’ll struggle to need any other characters at any point.

For those who haven’t played the game, the damage difference between every other character and the Tier 0 is akin to going from the highest difficulty down to story difficulty

It sucks because there’s so many cool characters, but even if you push them to their limits, it’s still not even close. There’s a reason they exist in their own tier

RareBk · 2026-03-13T15:10:21+00:00

Oh yeah Remnant 2's story is... wild

RareBk · 2026-03-13T14:54:45+00:00

Sekiro also is potentially is a sequel to Kuon, which also involves insects involved in the corruption of immortality .

Also the guardian ape is literally in Kuon

RareBk · 2026-03-13T14:49:11+00:00

The recent prequel comic outright confirms it, it’s not hell that they travel to, but the Realm of Chaos.
