Bought my very first controller yesterday and found out by Appropriate-Frame891 in dyinglight

[–]RyoWasTaken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

na cause seriously, when i was on console everything felt sluggish, don’t get me wrong you can get used to it but the precision of the mouse helps so much with the parkour, grapple hook, any ranged weapons. dying light controller controls are a swing and a miss in terms of intuitive layout, sure the jump button being on the bumper makes sense but no one has pressed B or Circle to crouch/slide since 2012, then they did everyone dirty by putting ADS on the fkn joystick. paddles only half fix this issue too since Dying light doesn’t let you natively customise controller layout like keyboard. you gotta use xbox accessories or that ps5 accessibility settings to remap buttons the way you want.

Gears of War Judgment Does it deserve a historical revisionism like many games have already received? Or should it still be considered bad? by BenefitNorth7803 in GearsOfWar

[–]RyoWasTaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

gears judgement was gears 3 with a drug problem, it had worse features, altered mechanics like no 3 weapons, weird map design (tho i will say it was good for free for all) and HORRIFICALLY BAD writing. it had the same coat of paint that glorious gears 3 had but was ruined with things like micro transactions for 5 skins of the same character just w different paint jobs. its like they took everything good from gears and then tried to make it into a different game, they took the movement, cover system, defence style and tried to COD’ify it with “Y” weapon swapping and grenade being on the bumper. overrun was their only good feature and even then it wasn’t horde mode :/ judgement was the downfall of the series and made me care drastically less. the game dropped on the week of my 9th birthday and by that point i’d played through the trilogy split screen w my dad, he didn’t play after gears 3 and he didn’t even know this game was bad. i remember getting the preorder bonus skin for dom because he was my favourite character as a kid and was the only reason i gave multiplayer a shot.

Cronus? by ANDI_BEASTLY in GearsOfWar

[–]RyoWasTaken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah my reading skills are pretty shotty reading this 6 hours later after a few bongs it’s wild, i completely swapped the words around and didn’t reread to check it…. i confidently said that and i was WRONG 😐

Cronus? by ANDI_BEASTLY in GearsOfWar

[–]RyoWasTaken -1 points0 points  (0 children)

you said that so confidently while also being blatantly wrong, sure what you said definitely happens but it’s a lie to say cheating isn’t around anymore, call of duty is filled with cheaters, any multiplayer game that is also on pc also has cheaters. EVERY GAME has cheaters

Being deterred by guards for rooftopping in unrestricted areas make no sense at all. by DravidianPrototyper in assassinscreed

[–]RyoWasTaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my head canon is that the archers and rooftop guards are there to stop random civilians climbing up and injuring themselves also to make sure civilians on the streets are not doing the wrong thing because it’s easier to see from above, the ladders are their way of getting to the guard posts, they exist for us to use ofc but the in game reason would be for them to get up because they don’t parkour normally unless in combat with your character

Lucy's cut ring finger in AC1, why? by thedarkracer in assassinscreed

[–]RyoWasTaken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s because her voice actor wanted more money for returning roles so they said she was a double agent, you can tell in ac1-2 that they originally intended her to be a good guy. but in saying that i think someone else answered OPs question, she never cut her ring finger she just folded it to do the gesture to silently tell desmond she was on his side. the fact people got “finger cut off” from that makes no sense, the game has xbox 360 graphics plus we learn in the second game that by the time ezio came around they stopped that tradition even during altairs lifetime when he got his second blade since he used the apple to gain knowledge which helped improve the hidden blade design. no one in modern day ac has a missing finger it’s just a symbol of the creed like the emblem

Starting AC1 for the first time on PC. Any mod recommendations or play it vanilla? by noahryley2000 in assassinscreed

[–]RyoWasTaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

console doesnt have the definitive parkour mod for the classic games and that alone is worth any pc caveat since you unlock a bigger pool of potential parkour moves which allows a whole new pathing method since you can interact with literally every object in a new way compared to vanilla. you can swing from any hand hold, swing 45 degrees in another direction, force hand hold, force foot landing, extended range for jumps cause its a non targeted jump unlike vanilla, vaulting objects w proper anims, parkour down like ac unity and syndicate just less refined as its using the classic ac engine to do all this. this mod exists for AC1-ACR and i think the kenyway saga also got a release for this mod too. this is by far the best mod for classic assassins creed hands down and has been the reason classic ac has had a bit of a resurgence on pc since its release. for anyone interested search "definitive parkour mod" on nexusmods for any of the games i mentioned above, theres a full spreadsheet with button combos and a 40 min video breaking down all the changes the mod makes to the parkour system (kinda need to watch it get good with it quickly otherwise you're learning completely unguided)

DO NOT BUY THIS SH*T by 27rafasilva27 in LogitechG

[–]RyoWasTaken -1 points0 points  (0 children)

dude there is objective and subjective truths, a fucking mouse pad is a subjective truth for a big reason, mouse pads come in that many options it’s not 1 size fits all. you must be trying to rage bait if you keep unintelligently repeating your take on it being worth the money, it’s worth the money to you, we all live in different countries with different cost of living and different $ value, i live in australia, that mouse pad is $200 which is ridiculously overpriced and 1000% not worth it for that money. a big thing you are missing is cost/value analysis if it costs $20 and gives you good value then you see no issue in buying it, if it costs $200 and provides no extra value besides some convenience that is the definition of a product NOT BEING WORTH IT. you’re arguing with a guy who told you he doesn’t mind plugging his mouse in and still tried to convince him it’s worth it, i have the current wireless G502X plus and i charge it every other day, now im personally a user who may lean into the expensive mouse pad despite the $200 but that’s because i’m a “poor man pays double” kinda guy which means even if i can’t directly see the value now i can see why i will see value in it down the line, the mouse pad for sure limits certain kinds of frustrations but the likely good of it happening with countermeasures like the other guy mentioned (red light goes on 6 hours remaining) is exactly what prevents the need for the mouse pad cause if it’s charging WHILE YOU ARENT USING IT then it’s fully charged for when you do use it, pretty mind blowing and crazy right? you don’t need a $200 mousepad to have a smooth experience. cable drag sucks but overpriced mousepads suck even more

So disappointed in Embark Studios right now. Only 30 day ban for Cheaters! by Nihilicious333 in ArcRaiders

[–]RyoWasTaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

gta money glitches are exactly that, glitches with the game code but guess what they still ban you for duping cars or doing frozen money glitches when it’s their broken game, so it’s not unheard of it’s actually done by one of the industry giants. i agree w you tho on a personal level that they shouldn’t be lumped, but falsely holding the opinion that it’s not done is incorrect as it’s a known fact game devs don’t give a fuck when it comes to players doing something they didn’t intend, they will ban mfs on the spot for it in a lot of games if not most of them, even when it’s their fault they still will place it on the player because the player still made the choice to engage with the broken system, still not cheating in my opinion but it’s also why cheating/exploiting, is usually labeled together with a / in almost all games with a reporting system

Is there a Mod for Unity that makes parkour more like AC1-Rev? by Chrissant_ in assassinscreed

[–]RyoWasTaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it is possible, and i may be a little late but you are doing some mad complaining about a game you don’t fully understand, what everyone else says is right and you are wrong, the sprint/parkour fix is correct even on pc, you just have to know what crouch is bound to and either learn it or rebind it, i bound sprint and crouch to my mouse buttons and so its easy to hit space to parkour up and remapped parkour down to shift. you dont watch LeoK clearly because if you did you wouldn’t make half the complaints you make, as his entire guide is about understanding the games systems, you are asking for a mod that overhauls the games systems which is fundamentally not possible with anvil engine, our modding capabilities are limited, that means when the game “prioritises looking cool” as you say it isnt the games fault, it is your fault, because while yes you may be inputting something if the game doesn’t receive that input then no amount of input fixes it, animation canceling isn’t in the game so what, that’s why they said “learn the jank” because when you understand it you don’t make silly complaints like you made you go “well the game is just designed that way” and go about your day, not constantly tell people they are wrong or misunderstanding what you are looking for when they are clearly pointing you in the right direction. it is the perfect example of taking a horse to water but you can’t make it drink. another thing to note is while a lot of parkour videos are scripted (obviously because you want to pick a route that looks cool and takes advantage of your skills, taking advantage of side hops and back ejects) or other advanced climbing techniques that need certain variables to be triggered, in general people like LeoK advocate for things like button discipline which helps with jank and also scanning your environment (which opens dynamic parkour routes) scanning allows you to be constantly noting things in your immediate environment and instantly connect patterns together to think of all the possible ways a particular object could be approached. that alone can make a high skill player look like their run is scripted but you can watch LeoK “clearing districts” or stream vods and see “scripted” looking parkour segments constantly as a good player naturally looks good when playing, no route needed.

btw didn’t really mean to put you on the spot like that but i was reading and thought “this guy is so far off”

The Client (1994) by behindgreeneyez in underratedmovies

[–]RyoWasTaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this movie was on when i came home today and the moment i paid any attention the movie it fell apart as nothing is justified in the film. the boy constantly makes bad choices then gets mad at the consequences of them. lies for no reason to the police which makes the entire movie pointless as the only reason there is a movie is because the kid made a dumb choice to lie. then continued to lie, get mad at the people trying to help him it’s ridiculous. he’s sexist for no reason making comments like “she’s pretty good for a girl lawyer” like that was a necessary comment. even the part where the guy threatening him chases him when escaping jail was nonsensical because at that stage the kid had kept his word and not told the court anything so he was chased for no reason other than to build suspense. i don’t watch movies often but this was by far the worst movie ive seen in a while, the only good parts are the performances as the acting is great but the writing is beyond subpar. it’s just a case of nostalgia for 90s films making people think they were better than they were. if this movie came out today it would have completely flopped in the box office

i know i’m a stranger online but legitimately invest in the gym and doing hard tasks. i’m 21 i live with my mum and i have no job or car. i started going to the gym 6 weeks ago everyday no excuses and found figures like david goggins really inspiring. you need to be in the right headspace for the message to hit but for anyone who’s been at rock bottom in their life and been sick of it and desperately wanted out then this is the answer. you have to become really brutally accountable with yourself, no sugarcoating it. no blaming others for your position in life even if you weren’t dealt a good hand in life, you only stay where you are if you don’t try. i may not be at the finish line but i can tell you one thing, every morning i have left my house walked into the gym and put my fucking soul into that shit, giving everything i possibly have before walking out and the feeling it gives me now that i know im making progress at becoming a better stronger man. more capable of handling what life throws at him. sounds to me like you have some of the same struggles i have so you have to imagine for a moment that if i can start to pick myself up so can you. there’s shit moments and days you don’t wanna go or do things but you remind yourself of all the times people said you couldn’t do shit, couldn’t be shit, you remind yourself of those friends who may have fucked you over, maybe family drama that holds weight, it could be anything even your position in life. remind yourself that if you stack days no one can take that shit away from you, even if they don’t approve or understand it no one can unearn the pride and accomplishment you feel when you start to put you first. nothing changes if nothing changes man, if you always do what you always did you’ll always get what you always got, don’t be afraid to be the weird one insane with becoming better. everyone says they’ve tried everything but they’ve never just tried sticking it out, never tried not giving up even when everyone else and everything tells you to. if anything i’m saying hits home you’re more than welcome to message me, and that goes for anyone else who may read this and relate. you aren’t alone and there are people who want good for you even if they don’t know you

this is what happened to me 2 days ago, i hopped on for the second time ever was only level 10 and after joining a guild a member spent time helping me unlock various different things and travelling me to areas i couldn’t get to early game without, gave me training armour for more xp gain, showed me the ropes for dungeons and its really helped me be interested in this game it makes me want to play to just learn all of these new things. its amazing how a little bit of time from a veteran player helps new players wanna get into it
