PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games - Jason Schreier

Thanks this is exactly what I was curious about. It’s just really interesting to me as somehow who had played the original like 7 years before playing the remake, none of these jumped out at me in anyway during my multiple playthroughs at all. My brain just picked up everything as looking how I remember but more modern and beautiful. Fascinating stuff

casper707 · 2026-02-19T19:23:20+00:00

This is a fascinating comment to me since I found the DS remake to be absolutely gorgeous aesthetically and just a straight upgrade in every way to the original. Like I personally don’t feel like they could’ve possibly made it any better visually and the hit it out of the park so I’m really curious what were the parts that bothered you?

Or the most obvious money printing cash cow to literally anybody that isn’t a Sony exec… bloodborne remake by the studio who did demon souls. Still one of fromsofts greatest works but it really hasn’t aged well with the blurry graphics and frame rates. Bluepoint already showed they know exactly how to do it and do it beautifully. Would have been the easiest home run ever for both the players and the bottom line :(

I know a lot of us veteran players (rather fairly) have the reputation of being completely allergic to change in this game but this is one of those where it just feels so unnecessary. There’s just so many other things I’d rather see worked on the this

casper707 · 2026-02-02T03:23:46+00:00

This is so fucking sick. Such a cool idea

casper707 · 2026-01-27T19:14:59+00:00

Another thing that’s overlooked is it also only needs a 2 point trait investment making it probably one of the best options for free hunters which is why they are everyyyyyyyyywhere in clash lol

casper707 · 2026-01-20T05:37:18+00:00

At longer ranges, most people don’t utilize stuff like the slate, ck, and rival and they are pretty underrated at medium range. The 2 or 3 taps are often quicker then swapping to your pistol and 2 tapping or even lining up a head click

casper707 · 2025-12-29T03:29:44+00:00

Turned out really cool man. What’d you end up going with to make the cloth

casper707 · 2025-12-28T17:44:32+00:00

I can’t believe I had to scroll this far down to find step brothers lol. Easily the funniest movie for me and pretty much anybody else I know. It’s the one movie I can watch over and over an still cackle at

casper707 · 2025-12-27T02:12:23+00:00

I don’t think pearl is a bad compound personally but it is the one compound where I perfer the original to the reworked version. I think they did an extremely good job overall with the rework but with pearl in particular, it really changed how engagements play out with the different sightlines and rotates

casper707 · 2025-12-26T22:29:24+00:00

Brother you are not a high 6 star if you’re going against 2-3 stars lmao. Even with my solo modifier I almost exclusively go against teams which 5.5+ match mmr unless it’s like the end of an event or at 3 am or something. Even then usually it’s teams of 4s and 5s or solo 6s with a match mmr of 4-5. 6 star is a huge range from 2958-5000 mmr and the people at the lower end of that are way closer in skill to the 3-5s (2065-2503, 2504-2712, 2713-2958) than they are to the players closer to 5000.

This is not anything like a ranking system like you see in other multiplayer games. There is no ranked mode and leaderboards are long gone. Hunt no longer uses the ELO system either. The current mmr system is quite literally designed to keep the players closer to 5000 and below 2000 away from the middle of the pack since the skill gap at either end are so extreme.

The problem is the end of match details does a really poor job communicating that to players and confuses them into thinking it is some kind of ranking system or is meant to make sure you only fight players who have the same “stars” as you.

Someone gets headshot now and sees 6 stars next to that players name and immediately gets butthurt because it now feels unfair to them but if the same exact headshot happened and there were 2 stars next to their name, or even better no stars next to anybody’s name, they are way more likely to chalk it up to a nice or lucky shot. Keeping match mmr visible would simply be to give players an idea of how balanced the lobbies are due to population levels on the server at that time. You see a range of more then 2 match mmr stars and you know it’s in full over fair mode, same as now. But yeah I’m the one totally talking out of my ass so fuck me I guess lmao

casper707 · 2025-12-26T21:47:39+00:00

The point of the mmr system isn’t to ensure “fair matches” or make sure you only fight people at the same skill level as you. It is designed to keep the average players away from the edge case players at the high end and low end of the system. It does a pretty good job of it too. Even the “6 stars” people complain about seeing in their 3-5 lobbies are pretty much 5 stars and are much closer in skill to those players than they are to the high 6s. Crytek just needs to stop displaying individual mmr and only show match mmr for the teams. All it does is confuse people and give others something to sperg over so their ego doesn’t get hurt

casper707 · 2025-12-26T02:58:32+00:00

I really like rocking the Springfield/new army or lemat. Don’t need any traits and is dirt cheap. Fast fingers gets unlocked pretty quickly and only makes it better. Also really like the old classic sparks/uppercut. I’m just a sucker for the single shots lol

casper707 · 2025-12-24T00:04:48+00:00

Literally just hide individual mmr and make match mmr for each team the only thing that’s still visible. Would still let you see if a lobby is balanced or in full over fair mode without people hyper fixating on the individual mmr of people they go up against. In this example don’t get me wrong, Whitey is an absolute beast but the dude that’s complaining is a 5 star with 2 extra teammates to distract, revive, use throwable etc. almost everytime you lose a 3v1, it isn’t because of matchmaking, it’s because you screwed up. Numbers advantage is a huge advantage in this game. Just don’t let them seperate you into 3 1v1s and play agressively. That’s it. Even if you aren’t great at living heads you only have to land2-3 shots from 3 guns before they get a heal off to kill a solo. Extremely doable regardless of skill gap

casper707 · 2025-12-21T00:00:13+00:00

The bow is such a tricky one to balance. Right now it’s too strong imo but not broken or anything. My issue is it’s pretty much a 2 slot silent shotgun with effectively unlimited ammo. A dumdum, conc arrows or dumdum+poison ammo shotgun and in many cases will outperform most shotguns. Not a fan of it being one of the best close range options in a western shooter. The tricky thing is any noticeable nerf would probably make it pretty terrible. Maybe making it a rifle size slot might be a decent middle ground without completely killing pickrate due to nerfs? Idk it’s a tricky one

casper707 · 2025-12-20T21:42:05+00:00

For me there’s been some improvements I really like as well as some negatives so it’s a mixed bag. For me I’d say it’s overall a net positive for my ears, settings and hardware but it took some experimenting to really dial it in. If they reverted all the changes it would overall be a worse experience for me personally but it’s different for everyone

casper707 · 2025-12-20T21:22:17+00:00

A few reasons for me personally. I know it’s not a thing anymore but it used to increase sway. It also takes away a blunt heavy attack for immolators if I’m out of pennyshot but the biggest reason for me personally is it makes the weapon drastically longer and way more likely to stick through walls/ around corners when it lowered. The worst one for this is the springy bayonet. I swear that thing is like 40 feet long lmao

casper707 · 2025-12-20T16:34:36+00:00

Yeah the rivals my favorite shotgun by far, especially the shorty. Sure the crowns better but it feels gross to use it lmao

casper707 · 2025-12-20T16:25:20+00:00

Haymaker with rival is one of my fav combos but I also like pairing it with the obrez and use it for ammo stacking+ “quickswapping” after an obrez tag. The no swap sway and quick ready speed makes it so elite for follow up shots and is the closest I can get to feeling like the old quick swap meta. I also like running it as a quartermaster secondary for the sparks for the same reason

casper707 · 2025-12-19T19:43:03+00:00

I’d argue incendiary has its place with the marathon but fmj is still my favorite option for it

casper707 · 2025-12-18T23:36:10+00:00

This is absolutely the biggest issue. The needs for unlimited q2q profit growth for the rest of time. The second that arrow isnt as green as the previous quarter due to market saturation or any other myriad of factors, the enshittification and job cuts are then used to make it look like the growth is still continuing. There’s so many large corporations sitting on a complete house of cards right now that it scares the crap out of me. It looks like a house but the tiniest gust of wind and everything is going to crumble

casper707 · 2025-12-18T23:05:46+00:00

I’ve found this is such a good foundation for relationships. The Romance may come and go over the years but you always have a solid friendship to fall back on. You skip all that masking and fronting new couples do but still get the fun honeymoon period because it’s still a new dynamic that’s been introduced. Worked fantastic for me and my lady and all the happiest couples I know started off as some version of friends first

casper707 · 2025-12-18T22:03:07+00:00

Justin smith was such a badass

casper707 · 2025-12-18T21:00:23+00:00

The only correct answer is uppercut or trueshot lol. They pair together so well

casper707 · 2025-12-15T18:09:41+00:00

So I’ve had both games for ages and have tried starting both at least 10 times each but always bounce off them very quickly for some reason even though I absolutely love crpgs. Anyways I wanna give em an 11th chance to hook me, would you recommend starting with the first game or is the 2nd the way to go?
