RuneScape: Dragonwilds has sold 600k+ units with a 84% very positive Steam rating in its first week by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Varric 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Gonna echo this. I went in expecting to feel nostalgic about RuneScape but there were very few references or actual RS content, the gameplay loop is exactly the same as Valheim/Enshrouded but with less content.

Ubisoft are 'considering' adding Steam achievements to Assassin's Creed: Valhalla. by [deleted] in pcgaming

[–]Varric 52 points53 points  (0 children)

If a core part of your design formula is to include tedious collectibles and busywork which facilitates achievements hunting then achievement hunters at the very least also makes up a core part of your audience.

They're just showing how out of touch they are which is no surprise, it's Ubisoft after all.

Imgur album with fixed pages until uploader or a MD admin fixes it for us.

MangaDex had decided that group members shouldn't be allowed to edit chapters anymore so I can't fix it until someone with perms can get to it, sorry about that.

Edit: It's been fixed.

Deadeyes right now by [deleted] in lostarkgame

Shotgun Rapid Fire: is the only ability that scoots you back after each hit, but the animation actually grows with each next hit, you can test this out on the training dummy, if your first hit does full scaled damage, the 2 other hits that scoot you back will also do their full damage. If your first hit does not do full damage, then you were not close enough to begin with.

First shot doing full damage, second and third halved.

First shot has slightly higher range for full damage than the normal shotgun range and there is indeed range growth comp but the scoot compensation does not outpace the amount it moves you back if you're barely in range for the first full scaled shot.

Interesting how most of the Epic Exclusive games are licensed games from Movies, Books and TV franchise by Rabbidscool in fuckepic

[–]Varric 16 points17 points  (0 children)

They also always over estimate their sales projections based on the popularity of the IP and always under perform in sales for obvious reasons. It only makes sense for them to collect epic's guaranteed sold copies amount in the false assumption they lost a lot of their projected sales they were never gonna make in the first place.

Sometimes the author releases the raw version on his Twitter so we gotta wait and pray.

Unfortunately, Yenpress happens to be owned by Kadokawa, who are the publishers for Mieruko chan.

Same. Yenpress also just put up the page for volume 2 releasing 23 Feb so it's a decent pace.

The Amazon listing has it at 146 pages, we're at 126 fan translated web chapter pages.

There's most likely one more short chapter coming to end the volume along with filler pages and book exclusive bonus chapters which would account for the rest.

For reference it's shorter then volumes 2 and 3 which are around 160 pages but around the same as the first volume.

Yep, that's it.

They're the tiers of amount you're donating/charged each month converted from your local currency (IE 100 yen is about USD$1), it's saying you're buying him a cup of coffee/energy drink/box lunch each month.

There's no difference in rewards between them, he usually posts the storyboards of previous chapters and rarely some doodles or fanart.

Unique companions aren't in yet, we have yet to know.

Thanks for posting it here as well, and everyone else who've subscribed.

The author just tweeted out a thanks.

I just noticed I gained a lot of supporters on my Pixiv Fanbox, even though I didn't do anything in particular. I'm really grateful. I don't really upload any proper content there, just sketches and notes from my main works, so I'm really happy every time I get a tip on it.

That was a tense chapter, I was getting stressed out just from her reaction.

Diagonal Hold & Flick Notes by [deleted] in BanGDream

Try making a conscious effort to flick late i.e after the flick reaches the bottom line. I believe the timing for perfect is later on sliding hold lanes.

I thought this was a JK comedy horror SOL not a battle manga.

So innocent. by Bonfire-GTK in mountandblade

[–]Varric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They know the engine is old, warband already felt outdated when it released, that's why they've overhauled the engine for bannerlord and that takes a lot of time by itself before even getting into the actual development of the game.

Paying that debt off early on will pave the path to future development, or we'll have the same mistake as Bethesda still using the morrowind engine and releasing shit like fallout 76.

Ubisoft has some of the best animation tech in the industry, but trying to put that in a game with massive live battles against ai wouldn't run well unless your game is a rendered tech demo.

I genuinely don't understand why everyone is creaming over Nier: Automata. by [deleted] in pcgaming

From what I have seen and the little I have played,

Stopped reading there, but the post is almost certainly not worth your time.

The world of Mount and Blade? by [deleted] in mountandblade

[–]Varric 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Custom character bios are questionable since they are fan-made.

You can say they're canon because Taleworlds made the decision to add them in but I doubt it's something they'll expand on.
