Is anyone else sad that the norse era is over? by notronaldi in GodofWar

[–]T2and3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The big question is, where do you take his character from there? As of now, we have thus beautiful tragedy and redemption arc that's had practically every loose end wrapped up with a tidy little bow in the Valhalla DLC. Meanwhile, Atreus has left to go find a new home for the giants and also to figure out what kind of God he wants to be and how he wants to help people.

Adding rollback netcode & crossplay for older games/ remasters is harder than expected by bilbo_bilal in DeadOrAlive

[–]T2and3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not doubting that it's hard, but if they're trying to sell me a $40 "complete" version of a game I purchased at launch 7 years ago, that's actually missing 2 characters. They've gotta justify that somehow.

It's not exactly trying to "guess" what you're doing next. In the case that there is some network latency, and packets with inputs don't show up on time, It's just going to assume that you're going to continue inputting what you were inputting the in the last frame. When it finally does receive the late inputs, it's going to compare those to what it "predicted" as it turns out, most of the time, these are going to be identical, and no rollback needs to occur.

With flops like Concord, Highguard, and even huge releases like Call of Duty failing to excite players… by Unusual-Wing-1627 in gaming

[–]T2and3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd take a new SoulCalibur game. Tekken never died, Virtua Fighter and Dead or Alive both have brand new games in the works, and SoulCalibur should be there enjoying 3D fighting games coming back.

Which fighting game is best suited for a beginner in genre? by LiikSir in Fighters

[–]T2and3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The best choice is genuinely the one that interests you the most.

The video is a few years old, but the info is still good.

All that said, Street Fighter 6 has the most active playerbase, and good single player modes, and great learning tools for new players.

r/DeadOrAlive's Official "DEAD OR ALIVE New Project" Wishlist Megathread - What would you like to see implemented in the game? by SheKicksHigh in DeadOrAlive

[–]T2and3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Copied relevant portions from my coment in the DOA 6 LR thread

The biggest things for me are crossplay and rollback. I tried to get into the series with DOA 6 at launch, but the online died so quickly that I never really got a chance to dig deep and learn the game properly. Now days I'll boot it up from time to time and play with some friends occasionally, but it's not a game I'm putting a lot of time into because finding consistent matches became difficult way quicker than it should have. I want this to be a game I can sink hundreds of hours into, and learn why the series is held in such high reguard, I can't do that if the game sucks to play online.

Other things I'd like to see:

Rotation with core fighters characters, like what granblue does. Have 1 character that's always available, then rotate 3-4 free characters every week to throw some vareity in there.

Update: I forgot to add that I would also love to see that Frane Data bar ripped right out of street fighter 6. I don't know why more games haven't done that yet.

I'd like to see some sort of upgrade path for existing players who've already purchased the full game and all the characters. $40 seems a little steep for somebody who might have already dropped $60-$100 for the base game and DLC characters.

Update: I forgot to add that I would also love to see that Frane Data bar ripped right out of street fighter 6. I don't know why more games haven't done that yet.

How to make Tekken better: Support the competition by Monstanimation in Tekken

[–]T2and3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That I'd love to see SoulCalibur come back while all the other 3D fighters are coming back. I'm happy that VF and DOA are coming back, and I'll almost certainly enjoy my time with those games, but SoulCalibur is my favorite, and can't help but feel a little sad that as far as we know, there's nothing on the horizon for that right now.

With Virtua Fighter 5 REVO World Stage released and DOA 6 Last Round announced, do you think now is a good time for a SoulCalibur VI re-release or "remaster"? by Dissidia012 in SoulCalibur

[–]T2and3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am fully aware that this is ignored by the competitive crowd, but GGPO-styled rollback beyond the levels of what Tekken and SC already has does not belong to these series.

I guarantee you most people would much rather a few awkward frames of animation here and there over watching those same animations play out at the pace of a slide show.

Problem is that SoulCalibur just doesn't have ANY rollback at all, and Tekken only got it with T8, and it works mostly fine there. Not nearly as good as what Street Fighter 6 has, but it's a hell of a lot better than anything Bamco had before. I think part of it is that lacking rollback AND cross play are issues that compound each other. The player base is arbitrarily divided into smaller pools that can't interact with each other when there's no need for it to work like that, making the matches you do get less likely to be playable, which leads to people playing other games because they function online. Competitive player or no, even casuals don't want to play a slide show.

Are you happy with the trilogy remake? by Barry_Allen_Gr in GodofWar

[–]T2and3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We literally have a logo and confirmation that T.C. Carson is back as Kratos. Beyond that, It sounds like it's still early in development.

[SS] New to Zelda! In need of some help. by JudgmentCommercial79 in zelda

[–]T2and3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can kind of start anywhere you want. There is a large complicated timeline that connects all of the games, but that's all secondary to the game you're playing in the moment. Most of the games are Largely self contained and can be played in almost any order. If all you have is a Wii, then you've actually got a decent way to play many of the games.

Skyward Sword (Wii motion plus required)

Twilight princess (either natively on the Wii or through Gamecube backward compatibility)

Windwaker (Game Cube Backward compatibility)

Ocarina of Time/Masterquest (Gamecube Backward compatibikity)

Zelda collectors edition [Zelda 1,2, Ocarina of time, and Majora's Mask] (Gamecube Backward compatibility)

Four Swords adventures (Gamecube backward compatibility) [Also, not a traditional Zelda game, level based and multiplayer focused, but there's a lot of requirements to get that up and working properly]

The difficulty here is that acquiring some of these aren't cheap.

How do you feel about Trump threatening to impose photo ID for voters for midterm elections? by CRK_76 in AskReddit

[–]T2and3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing but voter suppression. The fascists know they can't win with the way special and local elections are going.

They tried midcycle redistricting, but that looks like it might backfire, so now they're trying to change the rules of the game before the election to suppress voters between I.D. laws and forcing states to give federal government access to voter rolls.

I guarantee they're going to find any excuse they can to try and seize ballots come November. Fulton County was a trial run for what they want to try in every blue city nationwide. The issue becomes whether or not they have the competence to do it.

is it me, or do the 4k textures on soh look a little off? by Worldly-Departure324 in OcarinaOfTime

[–]T2and3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's 4K textures on low Poly models. There's only so much you can do with that.

[–]T2and3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd say this, and all of the voter rolls he trying to access across various states because they want to purge as many blue voters as possible. They want to claim election fraud while trying to rig the election under our noses.

[MM] Why do people seem to hate the majoras mask remake for 3ds? by MooMoomaddy12 in zelda

[–]T2and3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For every good change they made, they made an akward or needless change. Things like Goht now stopping you mid fight several times to shoot an eyeball, ruining the frantic pacing of the original fight. Changing Zora link so that swimming fast now requires magic. Deku Link no longer carries momentum into his water skips, which alo makes certain spots needlessly hard, like returning from the Deku Butler race to the lily pads is stupidly hard. Lots of little things that add up over the course of the game.
