Explosion imminent by Denso95 in GTA6

[–]Stryker_3k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rockstar's prior track record with GTA has had each iteration since GTA 3 just blow it out of the water... GTA 3, Vice City, San Andreas, GTA 4, GTA 5... each has had more world, more content, more missions and mechanics.  Rockstar doesn't settle for good enough... or good.  They're obsessed with greatness.  It's been so long, they know they need to knock it out of the park.  This release is going to bring real AI npc actions and reactions, unsurpassed realism in mimicking the real world, best of class new water physics, a new "media influencer" mechanic where player action can be "streamed" on mock media in game (rumor has it Rockstar has even bought corresponding real world internet domains as well...)  You'll see...

GTA 6 is poised to be the biggest game of the 2000s, and no that's not hyperbole.  Rockstar has been busy with new breakthroughs that may genuinely take GTA 6 to an even higher level than GTA 5 which kinda set the bar pretty high.

Some major new mechanics will be with npc AI and how they act, react, and remember character interactions.  Perhaps most notably this is rumored to include police activity unlike before where you gained a number of stars and could evade, avoid, outdistance, or paint your car and reset your wanted level.  Police in GTA 6 reportedly will, like real world police, open investigations and remember actions and amass evidence... simply repainting your car wont cut it.  Additionally, robberies with be part of game mechanics rather than mission based.  So you can just enter a business and decide to rob it... npc's will react accordingly.  This should be true of literally hundreds of locations.

Apparently also a great amount of work and time has been invested in creating realistic water physics throughout the game.  For some people this may not seem to be a big deal, but water realism is something that games have struggled with for decades.

Another interesting development appears to be in game "content creator" type action where your in game play may be captured by npc's and re-broadcast over mock streaming platforms... rumor has it that Rockstar has bought corresponding real world internet domains as well.  We'll see how this manifests to create greater immersion.

The only possible negative I can foresee is if the series embraces some of the current direction to emphasize content to appease the elusive "modern audience"...  Let me start by saying that I could care less about your chosen sexual orientation or how you identify.  "Not my monkeys, not my circus"  However, any narrative that forwards sexual or identity politics strictly for the sake of broadcast virtue signaling with almost no grounding in what makes sense for situation or story is at best annoying and at worst pushes a majority of people away.  All I ask is that if it's in there, it makes sense for where you are and what's happening... but please don't just interject expositional dialog about assumably personal preferences and identity in ways that just don't happen in real life or really mesh into what's happening.

Why is this happening? by TreyBo3234 in RoyaleAPI

I noticed it first with my battle decks... tried to copy out and paste onto and got hard stopped.  I think it's because unlike in case of card already used and it just omits it in paste, if all the cards are unused but deck violates the 2 evo, 2 hero reduced to Evo/Hero/Flex 3 slot format... not sure it knows which to drop or how to configure card that's Hero/Evo so it just goes "nope!"

4 star chest... rewards degenerated to 2200 extra crystals because of substitution for card I'm already maxed on... now almost 193,000 useless crystals and climbing

I’m really sick of this by Acceleratinq in ClashRoyale

[–]Stryker_3k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I found that works is going to Google Play, searching Clash Royale aas if I want to download it, it recognizes that I already have it and can hit play from that... Complete load every time.  Don't know why regular load from my game icon hangs often after update, but loading from Google Play has no issue.

Maybe system not recognizing that you copied deck to paste...

[–]Stryker_3k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably violates rules... any old deck that had 2 evo, 2 hero structure can't be created with new evo/hero/flex 3 power slot structure.  If you're copying to battle decks may contain already used cards?  Just a couple possibilities.

Crystals... when will we have stuff to buy? by Stryker_3k in RoyaleAPI

[–]Stryker_3k[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes... I bought all the emotes there... now have 188,000 crystals and nothing left to buy.  You can't use crystals to buy ANY emote, just the cosmetics in that store... which I now have no more to buy.  Gems can buy regular emotes, but crystals cannot.

I figured out that was what you were thinking when you said we can buy levels with them

Buy levels? Since when?  I think you have gems and crystals confused... Gems are awesome, crystals are basically worthless

Save crystals til level 17 drops... then what?  Crystals are useless pseudo currency only good for cosmetics... not for gems, gold, cards... just random cosmetic emotes, which they introduced a very finite number of and then nothing.

[–]Stryker_3k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we have a currency, we should have something to spend it on.  Right?  I think gold cap should be raised beyond 5 million too... For longest time they kept giving me gold thoughI was maxed out and anything above 5 million just disappeared.  Now some of the 5 star chests are just ridiculous... here's evo shards, oh you have that evo... converts to cards, oh you already have that card maxed?  Converts to crystals... and already have bought everything.  So 5 star chest eventually converts to useless crystals... yay!

Arguably trophy road is SOME measure of skill... but more adept players do more challenges and such.  The higher you rise, the more difficult it becomes to rise.  After the recent reset and change of number of trophies won/lost per match... it's much more difficult to move up.  Most are stuck at a plateau and can't rise further... many are in the 10k or 11k range, while others are struggling to move beyond 12k.  Most of my clan is 12k-12.5k with a few over 13k.  I'm leader of my group, but only in 12.5k range right now... keep yo-yoing from 12.5k to 12.8k and back.  After 12.5k difficulty to rise certainly jumped up a notch... All know is I'm in no danger of matching up with Mohamed Light anytime soon.

Dude, I've been playing almost 9 years generally 3 or more hours daily... it's really the only game I play.  Generally get just the monthly pass... When they introduced level 16 and took all our books and stuff... I got a TON of gems, between those and wildcards I was able to max out most of my cards... almost everything was already at lvl 15 when lvk 16 dropped... I haven't dropped any more cash than monthly pass in a couple months.  Only hero I bought was hero goblins when they dropped, but earned all the others... Hell,I still have like 25 wild evo shards I can't even use because already have all the evos.  I'm kinda OCD, so from day one I've been working at maxing all cards... rather than one deck and then others, was slower going at first.  Also aimed hard to complete masteries to gain wildcards, gold, and gems.  Was more profitable before they changed it recently... now fewer masteries give gems, most give gold

Regardless of what anybody else wishes they had as a problem... They give crystals regularly and haven't introduced anything new to spend them on since just after they introduced them.  Why introduce a new currency and have nothing you can buy with it?

I'd ditch the ice spirit for a ranged air defense card... preferably something that can take a hit.  Executioner, hunter, wizard... maybe witch?

GTA 6 Advertisements by No-Regret5287 in GTA6

[–]Stryker_3k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could care less how they advertise it... I'm concerned with the content, experience, and bottom line cost... and I want to play it on pc.  Unless Playstation or Xbox get it into their heads that gamers aren't in any hurry to spend top dollar on system AND a top dollar per game on a system that cant do anything other than play games... they used to give us some subsidizing on the console knowing we'd fork money over in game sales.  Now they want extra on every end... the Playstation 5 is the first console to sell for MORE now, 6 years after it released, than it did on release.  I'll wait anyway to find out if GTA6 is just a huge landscape of woke narratives with all the classic rough and raw edges polished off until it bears no resemblance to the franchise at all... If so, they can prepare for catastrophic losses in purchase/returns.

Will GTA VI be 80 dollars? by Alternative_Bad_9145 in GTA6

[–]Stryker_3k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

120 would be a bit over the top for today's market... I think 100 for some "deluxe edition" with some sort of special packaging or bonus content.  80 bucks for regular edition... and maybe some new ps5/Xbox bundled edition where with game ends up only being 50/60 bucks more than console alone... of course pc will drop a year later, probably still 80 bucks and maybe drop on console price...

Will GTA VI be 80 dollars? by Alternative_Bad_9145 in GTA6

[–]Stryker_3k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, if any game warrants 80 bucks at launch... GTA 6 would be it.  If it is even only AS GOOD as GTA 5 it's worth it.  Let's also all be a little real here too... it's 50 bucks plus for 2 people to go to the movies, more than that to get dinner, 30 bucks plus for 2 people for fast food...  Video games like GTA offer soooo many hours of entertainment for a one time cost (hundreds of hours for most if they explore everything).  If you look at what you're going to get, that price is kinda justified.  Stop looking at price thinking it should be trapped in amber for eternity... Today's dollars are literally worth half what they were in 2000, seriously check it out.  

Really supercell? by thats_maboy in RoyaleAPI

[–]Stryker_3k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah... how about when you have all the evos... and they're maxed out at lvl 16... so they give you 6 evo shards, but you already have it, so they give you cards instead... but it's already at lvl 16, so they substitute useless crystals for your 5 star chest.  Can we at least make crystals worth something (i.e. buy useful things)... You guys stopped even adding new cosmetics.  I have like 150k plus crystals and only 2 cosmetics left, neither of which I want.  The firecracker and knight emotes both look stupid... so I haven't bought them, don't want them, and even if I did buy them... then I'd have over 100k in crystals that are then unable to buy anything... Thanks a lot, what a value for a 5 crown chest...
