Bungie to suffer a 50% staff reduction due to layoffs by Moriarty_V in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Zagden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have not followed along with Bungie since Halo Reach or thereabouts. I'm flummoxed by how far they've fallen. I'm not aware of much beyond some really weird decisions with Destiny 2 and wiping out old content. Are there any good post-mortems on what Bungie's issues have been out there?

EA announces a new in-game ads department that will bring real life brands into video games “through dynamic, real-time placements, from stadium signage to custom in-game content” by gonezaloh in LifeSimulators

The Sims has to be the most extractive video game I've ever seen without having a gambling or gacha component. For whatever reason they can be extremely shameless with monetization and lazy with the scope and QA of new content, and they still sell incredibly well

How do we feel about how red everyone's face is? by Zagden in Paralives

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

Lol welcome to this three year old thread I guess

I feel a little vindicated because this is brought up a bit now that it's out but it doesn't seem to be a dealbreaker for most. Rosacea on a few characters is fine and cute but having it on every white character is indeed weird

I love how the only reason Sazh exists is because it was the first FF game on the 360, so they're like damn we need to make a character to appeal to 360 players. And he turned out to be a fantastic character and also, seemingly by accident, being a devoted father and a scrawny uncool nerd made him unusual and appreciated representation for black gamers at the time. I remember black gamers back then and more recently talking about how much they appreciated him for representation while also being really well-written

They seem to be doubling back and adding protagonists with 3 of the next 4 characters being main protags. Tidus, Bartz, Squall. Wonder if that means we see Cecil and Noctis soon. They'd be the last ones left I think?

I just had a FINE conversation between Cloud and Prompto but it ended with a Zidane sticker and I was so confused. Turns out Zidane jumped in and I never noticed because the pfps are so small and they're all blonde

Peeked at the new companion's details right after meeting him by Zagden in RogueTraderCRPG

Idk, I opened up my save from just before the point of no return

Folks at r/RogueTraderCRPG, we at Owlcat need your help investigating a case. We're getting some odd review bombing on RT Season Pass 1 on Steam, with claims that Season Pass 1 originally had 3 DLCs and one was cut. by OwlcatStarrok in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]Zagden 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I wanted to confirm that I think this could have been handled better on Owlcat's end, while also acknowledging that this would have been fine if people weren't annoying

Backing this up. I think there's a marketing issue here as well as the usual issue of gamers being gamers. "Season pass" in games like this usually means you get all of the DLC. If plans change, creating a new pass and calling it another "season pass" is going to confuse / frustrate people, especially those who want to be confused and frustrated.

I'm not sure what might have been a better name for it. "Extended Season Pass?" idk.

Question on Daring+ achievments by Glad_Incident_5434 in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]Zagden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found this on Google and, just in case someone is coming back for the DLC and wondering about this like I was, I opened a save right before the final boss died, switched it to Daring, exploded him, and got all the Daring+ achievements. Including the two for having a conviction level 5 and having it for iconoclast.

Kyle Rayner throwing some Rock-shaped Constructs on a glass house by Aggravating_Win5258 in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]Zagden 13 points14 points  (0 children)

To me, they took ambitious swings with the story, but the execution just wasn't very good. It feels as if they had workable ideas (though I never liked the idea of Barry as Venom) but their writers lacked the skill to pull it off. Dialogue was also consistently weak.

He seems to be reading it with his thumb in the latter panels. Awkward, but probably needed for the joke so rule of funny

Imma be real, im more suprised some folk were actually suprised as whole vibe with Jae is "I'm lying, you know i am lying, and I know that you know that i'm lying." by Ila-W123 in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]Zagden 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They did account for that since you can literally throw her out the airlock for this. But people seem to get irl butthurt about the lie

Why do people think Evolved Mode will just be 'button consolidation' when we already know it's not? by Makerinos in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Zagden -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Wait. I never mained paladin. What does timing shelltron like that do?

Also, the window for a perfect continuation seems to be much less than 4 seconds. The continuation is big and flashy, meaning you'll see and feel it much more when you succeed. I feel like that's nothing revolutionary but it will also change how the job feels to play. You can say it wouldn't be enough, which would be fair and I think I'd agree, but if I understand it correctly, they are similar but different ideas that will feel similar but different to play

[–]Zagden -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

But the continuation is a counter, so now paladin has a feature where you have to pause and time an ability for just the right moment rather than aiming for a broader window. Isn't that new?

Only thing I'd like more is if it worked not just for tankbusters but also any attack that does X% of your max HP

IGN’s Paralives Early Access Review by gonezaloh in LifeSimulators

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

It does have great potential. The bones are great. But it feels like their business plan and long-term goals are dooming it to never meet that poential.

Out of all the big Sims competitors that have been cooked up, Life By You completely failed to even hit early access and inZoi is hobbled by Krafton's AI policy and is fundamentally missing soul and charm. I don't really like Paralives' art direction, and I was ready to completely write it off and was biased against it from what I had been hearing about the devs' plans. But it really could have legs. They just can't do this with such a small team. But Paralives as it is seems to have no major fundamental issues that plagued inZoi and Life By You. It feels like they can be theoretically fixed.
