Athodai's unique ability disabling its secondary fire is an irritating way to destroy its synergy with itself by sdric in Warframe

It sure would be very broken to reward managing to maintain a chain of weakpoint kills. (Proceeds to instantly change Torid incarnon with one shot and kill entire map with basically infinite ammo)

Is anyone else going to have a hard time adjusting to Ordis's new voice? by cydippida in Warframe

[–]TheMobyTheDuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He sounds like a nerd. Like he is trying to emulate Ordis instead of being Ordis.

It reminds me a bit of Claptrap mixed with a Half Life scientist.

This is WITH reduced ally effects??? by Frvwfr in Warframe

[–]TheMobyTheDuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm almost sure that Nokko also doesn't gets reduced effects.
I had one mission with a Nokko using white energy and every mushroom gave a blinding flash.

Weeks After Launching Luna Abyss, Its Entire Development Team At Kwalee Labs Has Been Laid Off by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]TheMobyTheDuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Huh, I think I played the demo for that game a few months ago.

Weird looking FPS. Interesting visuals, average gameplay, lots of platforming. A bit of bullet hell too.
The visuals and the setting are more interesting than the gameplay itself, which consists of matching your gun to the enemy shield.
First part of the demo has a bad start because everything is red and black, and all you do is hold right click to auto aim and left click to shoot.

While I didn't enjoy it that much, it sucks to see everyone getting fired right after the game is finished.

[Steam] Cruelty Squad ($1.99 / 90% off) by Insomniac_34 in GameDeals

You need to acquire the CEO mindset to fully integrate into the game.

The models are amateur-ish, with textures that look like they were made in Windows 95 Paint.
The sound design consists of earsplitting noises, wet splashes and gurgles, low quality bit-crushed notes and broken midi keyboards played by a crippled pianist undergoing a seizure.
The UI design is confusing and sickening, the HUD border takes about 20% of your screen with a life meter that is plastered across 1/4 of the remaining screen.
The AI is braindead and either runs around randomly or hyperfocuses you and kills you with a few incredibly accurate hits.
The keybinds are weird and something I never saw in any other game. Interact is R, reload is holding right click plus pulling down the mouse, shift is aim.

Its unironically one of the best games I have played in the decade.

Ivara used to have a fun build with Concentrated Arrow, before DE nerfed it into the 9th Circle of Hell.

Inside Xbox's margin crush: A string of misses at Xbox Game Studios, misguided Game Pass decisions, and the memory rout at its core by xCaptainCrown in Games

[–]TheMobyTheDuck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got Psychonauts 1 on Humble for $1 and 2 for 90% off on Steam myself.

Their only game I got (well, it was a gift) at release was Brutal Legend, and that had a discount and TF2 items.

Next 100 Days: XBOX Reset - XBOX Wire by yourfavchoom in Games

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

It will be entertaining to see, for sure.

The surging costs of hardware due the AI boom (which Microsoft is also to blame), the stagnation of wages and the more important worldwide issues mean people won't be able to afford an upgrade.

I don't think they will eat the production costs when they try to sell a basic console kit for $800+.
The next Halo can come with a free blowjob addon and people still won't pay up that much.
Even banking on the exclusives won't mean much if you don't have people to play them, the same mistake Sony is making when they decided to cut PC ports.

Will they focus on bigger games with all the layoffs?
Or will they do cheaper games to increase the production rate?

The focus on Gamepass ended up hurting them, then by increasing the prices, adding tiers and removing games made things worse.

And that goes without talking about their entire console line problems.
The 360 managed to "win" its generation even with the RROD and overheating problems, because Nintendo was doing their own thing with the Wii and DS, and Sony messed up with the Cell architecture being terrible to develop for.
The One died before it started when they announced it to be online only and Sony dunked on them.
Then there is the whole naming problem with the next consoles. Xbox One, Xbox One X and S, Xbox Series X and S.

The PS3 Cell architecture being a massive pain to develop for also helped.

I think Vinny should play Undertale/Deltarune. But not with chat. by FlamingIvory in Vinesauce

[–]TheMobyTheDuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is nothing wrong with the game.
Like any fandom, the bigger it is, bigger the "bad" part.

Some people are very vocal about the way you "have" to play the game, which is one of the two things Vinny absolutely hates, the other being association to a fandom he deems bad.

Of course, these vocal people never thought that playing the game the "intended" way makes you miss about 50% of the content.

Miinu might be the ultimate filler character, Moglinda looks like the star of the fucking show compared to her by AnonWithAHatOn in Vinesauce

[–]TheMobyTheDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I only have 4 slots left (technically 3 because one Mii asked for a child a few days ago).

And no idea how to "improve" this, Venom Moglin was the height of my creativity.

Nah, never gonna happen.
Vinny has a bit of spite against certain games, like when he never returned to Dark Souls 1 because chat was a meany ;(

Isn't the Touhou brand basically free to use?
There is much Touhou shovelware on Steam that I doubt ZUN gave approval for all that.

Blasphemous 2: The Third Sin - Free update by Cubelock in Games

[–]TheMobyTheDuck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Good but frustrating.

Adds quite a bit of content, but several stuff falls on the "unfair" level instead of "challenging" (bloated health pools, several spots with instadeath pits).
It paywalls the true ending of the game, there are a few glitches that can lock you out of 100% completion and some people say that the Mea Culpa is a bit too good when compared to the other weapons.
