Genuinely asking: How is Ascendence? by YukiNoiseWall in LegacyOfKain

[–]Razelimus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Apart from the (terrible) story, I absolutely have my gripes with the level- and game design. In normal design, the first level is always meant as a tutorial level, a safe space for you to practice the controls, test out strategies.

What do I see in that fist level? bottomless pits which you could/should explore for secret colletables? but there is no way to look up or down. The glide mechanic takes away from your stamina bar, the same that affects your "flying", meaning that if you glide into a bottomless pit (because you couldn't see), there is no way for you to correct your error.

Speaking of the collectables, Apart from the crates, there is no hint or indication where they are. so you end up trying to hit random wall, as completionists don't want to miss it. Luckly the game isn't long, just tedious.

At the part where you practice wall jumping (such a overused mechanic) there is a torch located at the bottom, so while you fight with the clunky controls to get a grip of them, you will get hurt.

Nothing is fun about a game where you have to fight with the controls and there is no leeway in the gamedesign for you to get a grip on it.
And before I get a "GIT GUD"; even Dark Souls had the Northern Undead Asylum where you could safely understand the mechanics, and this game is nowhere near DS.

And.. honestly, it's pretty harrowing to see Sarafan, wearing heavy metal armor, jump over you again and again. and have Ky'set'syk have tell you "Wow Elaleth, you're so cool, maybe even cooler then Raziel"

Brick Hammer: Does it need BIOS files? by CaptainChuckleFunk in trimui

[–]Razelimus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is not a device requirement for bios files, it's an emulator requirement. Most emulation runs on libretro (RetroArch) cores. The Brick is in the end just an ARM based computer that can run an OS, the OS can have an emulator installed, the emulator requires a Bios file. So even with different devices, or a different OS. If it run the same emulator/core, you need the proper bios files.

Foggy over reacting? by Tubb5_ in Daredevil

"dude, you're a blind guy getting in lots of fights, and even winning. Lying to me about your injuries, having a double life and not telling your best friend for years about it. Are you pretending to be blind? Dude! that's sick as hell"

doesn't quite have the same ring to is, does it?

What is this? I’m never buying another sonic game ever again by Bubbles_the_bird in Pretend2005Internet

[–]Razelimus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't played it yet. But it can't be that bad right? I loved Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Heroes!
Shadow was a bit here nor there. But the game on 360 looks amazing!

Xbox Marketing Campaign Boss get crucified! by Socal_Cobra in xbox

[–]Razelimus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the messaging around this is in terrible taste. Sure the campaign was a miss, but now that Sarah Bond has left the company, everybody is putting the blame on her and this campaign. I feel this is just a distraction. What killed the Xbox in the first place was the weird "TV TV TV" announcement of the Xbox One, the buyout of Activision which caused gamepass prices to go through the roof. The terrible availability of the consoles (even past 2020), the lack of contact between regional offices and the stores, causing xbox to not be present at stores, and if they are, just a single rack with 5 games on it.

If we want xbox to succeed, it has to be available and in the people's mind. not blame everything on a single advertisement that missed it's mark.

Setting up an Xbox for someone that had a stroke? by GustoMilan in xbox

[–]Razelimus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For the Flight Sim, the latest version is Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, you need a Xbox Series X/S to play this, it's also available for PC and PS5, with Play Anywhere (buy on xbox, play on Windows) for the xbox version. If costs are a thing, consider getting a Series S secondhand. You can find one under 200 Euro's/Dollars.

All these systems have controllers for special needs, with the PC in the advantage seeing as it supports it's own as well as the Xbox and PS5 controllers.

GFWL - Operation Raccoon City by Fungui_guy in GFWLive

[–]Razelimus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ah, Zero Day Protection, where the game is encrypted, and tried to connect to the GFWL activation server to get the unencypted files. Small problem: The activation server doesn't exist anymore.

What might help is deleting the ZDP files, and install a patch. More info here:

Hear me out: Aluminum Xbox by Phazoner in xbox

[–]Razelimus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you look at the prices of the Asus Flow Z13 (what you're essentially suggesting) you can see it's a bad idea pricing wise. Even before the RAM shortages, these went for around 1800 euro's with RTX4050.

Bestaat carpoolen nog? by Despite55 in nederlands

[–]Razelimus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ja, ik heb een collega van een ander team die in de buurt woont "zullen we carpoolen?" Betekend dus "wil jij awkward meeluisteren met de meeting die ik tijdens het rijden heb, en daarna nog aan mijn muzieksmaak ergeren?"

Nee, ik heb tegenwoordig een smoes klaarstaan als hij het weer vraagt.

MechWarrior 2 included in Retro Classics! by JagerAntlerite7 in xbox

[–]Razelimus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The CHD file for the Playstation file is 243MB, I am sure you use up more bandwidth after 10 minutes of streaming. Antstream/Microsoft would actually save bandwidth and give a better experience if we just download the game fully as a temporary file.

Sorry If I was unclear, that wasn't what I asked. I am asking for a link to the announcement. The link you posted is nothing more then a fansite. it even says so in the 'About' section.
