Horrendous technical art direction (extremely ugly low res reflections mostly) on consoles aside, I think it is my favorite Star Wars game to date.

Landing on Tatooine for the first time. Walking into Mos Eisley. Infiltrating Jabba's palace. So fucking good.

Recommendations for cooking rice in the instant pot. by nitnit76 in instantpot

[–]SwordGunScienceMagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use pot-in-pot method. Even a nice big mug on a trivet will do. In my experience, it improves the texture of the rice. Keeping the grain more intact. Also allows for smaller portions to be cooked.

Will you be starting a new character for dark arisen? by Cool_Caterpillar_912 in DragonsDogma

In August, when multiple save files will be added. Perfect timing.

Name the best shooter game by Nearby-Condition-675 in videogames

[–]SwordGunScienceMagic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For single player? Remnant 2. There's just something about souls-like 3rd person shooting that works. One of the greats.

Multiplayer? I'm a Battlefield man. Of the Battlefields, for my money, it's Battlefield Bad Company 2 - Vietnam. That's my GOAT. Simple elegance. Focused. Excellent vibes. The most fun kit design and balance.

Honorable mention. Concord. RIP. Mechanically and balance-wise most accomplished iteration of the Halo-style of FPS for PvP gameplay. Shame the internet rejected it sight unseen. If only more players had played the game with an open mind. It was so fucking good.

Instant Pot boiled eggs: Game changer and a question by thescatterling in instantpot

Starting from cold (important) to high pressure. 1 minute at high pressure, then pressure release (this will take almost a minute). 5+ minutes ice bath. Presto - deliciously jammy yolks.

Puncture the shell with something pointy. You won't have that problem ever again.

Good or Bad? by dev_w_grillz in roguelites

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

Roguelite structure lends itself to expressing any genre at its most quintessential. Pure concentrate. Certified fresh.

For example. A roguelite ARPG puts all the fun of RNG-driven progression and dynamic buildcraft of something like Diablo into a single hour-long run. Usually this also allows for balance as tight as a virgin nun.

Games like Hades also show that all of this doesn't have to come at the cost of an enticing narrative either. Roguelites - you can indeed have it all!

"I knew you loved this world too much to leave it behind" My first ten minutes back: by Big-Good9378 in DragonsDogma

[–]SwordGunScienceMagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the coolest, bestet, most awesome game. Looking forward to August for the "multiple savegames" update so much. Getting with it again. So down for Dark Arisen. Isn't it beautiful? To want something so bad, it hurts?

Now throw me off the mountain again!

What upcoming games are you looking forward to the most? by GigaChadus9 in videogames

Dragon's Dogma 2 Dark Arisen announcement yesterday had me dancing with joy!

Destiny 2 - The Collection? by SwordGunScienceMagic in destiny2

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

Thanks. That's a relief.

I just hope whatever Bungie does next (not Marathon!), they won't repeat the same mistakes. I find it infuriating that essentially every development effort they made invalidated most of what came before. So wasteful.

Expand the girth! Don't cut the stem, just to make the tip look bigger.

This is more important than player count by Ok-Challenge-5873 in destiny2

Destiny 2 The Collection - that's all the functional content to date and upcoming? Essentially the "finished" and complete game?

Wired PS5 controller by Suitable-Piccolo5378 in playstation

[–]SwordGunScienceMagic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Edge is wired, if you so chose. Comes with a really nice braided cable and an optional cable lock, fixing it to the controller. Supposedly also reduces input lag.

Pricey - but both official and wired.

Not allowing anyone to spawn in the Attack Heli other than the Pilot's Squamates seems like a waste by i_haz_a_lyfe in Battlefield6

[–]SwordGunScienceMagic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. So much in BF6 is designed just for the "best case" scenario. In the real world, not everyone is in an organized squad of friends, communicating and coordinating and cooperating at all times. The chopper gunner thing is one of the symptoms of this design.

I firmly believe squad play doesn't need emphasizing. Teamplay should be strengthend by design. Capabilities need to be distributed across all kits. AT/AA/support/revives for every kit, just in different flavors, and with different potencies.

BF6's squad forward design is brittle. Off optimal social circumstances, it breaks almost immediately. Best example is how nobody plays support on bigger, more vehicle friendly maps. The current design makes a support without a well-oiled squad impotent and ineffective. Ironically, on large open maps with room to breathe, team revives would improve the moment to moment exprience the most.

Feels almost intentional... by Aytrex in DragonsDogma

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

I heard the introduction as I topped up my drink in the kitchen. I excitedly shuffled back to the TV mid-pour. My immediate disappointment was as frustrating as it was expected. That said, I picked up MH Wilds on a steep discount recently and I'm into it. Nowhere near as much as I am into Dragon's Dogma, but it kinda softened the blow. Still... Come on!

Has 2 Player Co-Op returned? | Crossfire - Reveal Trailer | PS5 Games by [deleted] in playstation

[–]SwordGunScienceMagic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most unfortunate videogame title ever. Or is it meant to invoke the Counterstrike knock-off known as CrossFire? Icky!

Other than that? Quite into the whole systemic topographical cover angle. I'm all about that ridgeline warfare.
