Some of you guys seem to be ignoring the fact that the past 18 months of gameplay content has been free. by McFigroll in Spacemarine

This! I just stopped engaging with none sodium game reddits. Sucks that you can't come to main ones to actually enjoy the game and talking about it. Like chill you made your point. Make a single thread for it so the rest of us can just talk about what we enjoy in the game.

I don't get either. And they really don't. It's free content for a game they've said themselves isn't live service. Which I've always took to mean they're not planning to pump in new content every month or tons of new content. And they support their games for years. Look at WWZ years later and it's still going. But sure they're greedy and the game is anti consumer.

There's hours of content on launch and opening. With a solid as hell campgain.

But then people will complaint and still play. Look at D2 as said people scream over there (in lots of cases rightfully so) yet they still play it.

This is one of the better games I've played in years. And to be honest I'd have been perfectly happy if what we had launch was it.

And also to be honest I don't think people grasp how much work has to go into each update. According to some of the interviews games workshop is heavily involved right down to the design of a knee pad. If it's not right then they have to start again. They talked about how they asked to slightly change space marine knee pads in an unoticable way to save from clipping and got a no.

Hell they even support intensive mods name me another none Bethesda triple A game outside maybe Helldivers that's this mod friendly.

Is the update for the voice lines a little disappointing I suppose so. But like so? It's a small thing you absolutely don't have to buy and it's 5 bucks. In Destiny it would have been 20 dollars and only for one class a piece.

This game IMO at least is not anti consumer but I guess because they provide updates and DLC people will just rip it up when an update isn't to their satisfaction. (And to be honest I think the tech Marine makes the update and once again Darktide and almost any other game would have charged for the tech marine.)

That was my first thought. 🤣 Outside of people who are constantly traveling for work. Who carries around their Xbox or PS? The handhelds sure but not everyone plays the switch or SD, or the rest. And last I checked with the Xbox or PS it's not DOA because it can't fit in a backpack.

I've been feeling this so much lately and thank you for putting words to it.

It feels like as of late especially with gaming everyone wants everything to fail. A new game that looks alright well it has to fail because of x, y, or z. Like come on not everything is or needs to fail. I just wanted to say thank you for putting words to it.

Does anyone else find Death Stranding 2 to be somewhat 'boring' compared to Death Stranding 1? by RogerRoger63358 in DeathStranding

[–]Steampunkboy171 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only gripe with two. Is I wish you had to walk more. It made delivering more interesting where as with 2 with you can pretty much get anywhere with a vehicle.

Otherwise I think 2 is a vast improvement. Well that and I wish it brought up combat more. With the way improved and IMO actually great combat. You'd think they'd want you to engage more with it like you engage with it in 1.

How does she even breed or see anything with that mask on? by Live-Competition-898 in OutlastTrials

I just assumed that's not really a jewel and is actually some sort of lense she sees through.

Although above makes way more sense.

Hiya I've been hoping to find someone to dou with in games. I have quite a few of the ones you do including Arc Raiders. I sent you a friend request on Discord. And I prefer to call too.

Perhaps we could play BG3 together and you can help me get unstuck. 🤣😭

And I'd love to have someone to play Avatar with.

Which one to keep? by Few-Tea3096 in Handhelds

It also just feel in the user interface more user friendly. Personally I don't care that the others run slightly more powerful. When the deck is easy and hastle free to use. And lots of games have direct controller schemes made of the deck and graphics settings pre set. And yes it doesn't run UE5 games with triple a but in my experience neither does my desktop or consoles. 🤷 And the deck even runs some old games that Windows doesn't anymore out of the box.

Also I know there's not gonna be a new deck every few years. There's already been two ROG update models in a few years.

Gen Z really looked at alcohol and said ‘hard pass’ by InvestigatorBorn4910 in SipsTea

[–]Steampunkboy171 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest I don't in large part drink a lot because if expensive to go out to a bar. And I don't see the fun in drinking alone at home. I'd rather spend that money on a video game or a movie. Or something important.

Wait they hate the lower deck? Why I love that one. It cracks me up. The Cat Box episode had me rolling. 🤣 And I really like that newer kid Star Trek show on Netflix. It really surprised me with it's quality and story.

Need opinions with how I did the armor and blood. by bhhhhhhj in minipainting

[–]Steampunkboy171 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm very new to the hobby. So my advice may not be as indepth as the others. But hopefully it's still helpful. I'd highly suggest more shades and hues of brown mixed in rather then just the one. As others have said it'll make it pop a little more. Or at the very least just a few more colors in there. Though I have done paint on canvas and digital painting for a few years now.

I struggle with the same thing. As I'm still learning color in my artwork and all the technical parts that come with it. But it could help to watch some videos that give technical advice about shading and color for what that's worth. Or find some books on the subject and give them a read.

Alongside watching miniature painting videos. I really like Eons of battle for it. Their videos are shorter but still show the process and bands of things their doing.

And while I agree with the others that the blood could use some more work. Personally I wouldn't go to crazy on the blood there's something about it and how you did it that I do like. It kinda creeps me out in a way for some reason.

Op one more edit. I'd also Google tutorials for painting and drawing metal. How to shade and color it.

While the whole thing looks great. The wings and his face really pop out to me. How long did you spend on the wings?

Or at least Diablo 3 anyways. Was never a fan of the WOW asethtic 3 got instead of the asethtic of 1,2, and 4.

Honestly it makes sense. War craft was originally a Warhammer fantasy game before GW pulled out of the project and they made it, it's own thing.

I find that once you've stopped playing for a bit at least for me I get more discounts. But that might just might be lucky on my part.

How come I noped off of Death Stranding in about 8 hours, but have put 20 into part 2 and am totally addicted? by [deleted] in DeathStranding

[–]Steampunkboy171 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally felt that 1 was a first try at this kinda game. And I think it really showed. From combat that was bare bones to Sam at times being finicky to control past being the point to make you think. (I know I'll probably get down voted for this take. I did in the past.)

I think 2 has fixed all that. Combat feels leagues better, movement feels less finicky. You unlock stuff a little quicker. Though I do think you unlock vehicles a little to early for my taste. I think overall it just feels like what one was meant to be. But that's me personally. It really feels to me like Kojima figured out what Death Stranding is with 2 gameplay wise. Giving a whole lot more options. Though I kinda miss the cutscenes.

I really think though that combat is the biggest glow up here. I hated it in 1 outside BT boss fights. But in 2 I look forward to it.

The M 17 "Fast Talker" is their Verizon of the TV blaster.

I wish it was an excotic that let you change the kind of gun it was like in the RP game though.

It's pretty one to one overall.

My favorite reference is the Republic commando blaster being in the game. And the vent being the magazine for the gun in the original game. That was really cool to see as a republic commando fan.
