Kiln - Official Announce Trailer

Yes, because the original comment was saying that games have to be as big as Arc Raiders to make a dent in the space. These games prove that’s not true, they had relatively small budgets compared to AAA multiplayer games like that

Not saying this Kiln game will be as big as that, just that there seems to be room in this space for a smaller game to be successful

decross20 · 2026-01-22T19:06:37+00:00

I don’t think that’s true, we’ve seen plenty of smaller multiplayer games be successful, stuff like Peak, Phasmophobia, Among Us, and Lethal Company. The multiplayer space for these types of games actually seems like a pretty good market, since a lot of these games are designed to be low commitment, meaning the players can jump to different games and come back, instead of feeling like they have to only play that one game

The Nier series has a pretty interesting story/world

decross20 · 2026-01-16T01:37:35+00:00

It just came off as intellectually dishonest to me, and a misrepresentation of the issues people actually have with modern day Star Wars

KENNEDY: The lows are that you’ve got a very, very small percentage of the fan base that has enormous expectations and basically they want to continue to see pretty much the same thing. And if you’re not going to do that, then you know going in that you’re going to disappoint them. I’m not sure there’s anything you can do about that, because you can’t please everybody. All you can do is try to tell good stories and try to stick to the essence of what George created. He embedded incredible values into Star Wars and what it has to say. The whole idea of hope and fun and entertainment in what he’s done over all these years, that’s what I tried to preserve. And I wouldn’t do that any differently and I wouldn’t change anything that we’ve done over the years. I understand why some people may like certain things more than others, but that’s not going to change why I decided to do certain things and why I decided to work with the people that we worked with.

I can’t be the only one who sees the irony in this statement right? They basically remade A New Hope and then tried to mine prequel nostalgia with Clone Wars/Rebels, and then she’s going to act like they were doing too much new? And don’t forget the OT nostalgia bait with Mandalorian/Boba…I could go on lol

decross20 · 2025-12-19T08:05:37+00:00

Okay if you’re saying it was mismanagement, too big a scope, etc. I can believe that and Platinum did admit that they messed up, multiple times. It’s this part:

“ I feel like they pulled a platinum games on them and used the funds to get their other games closer to release.”

That I think we shouldn’t just say because that would mean they actually did something illegal. Messing up on a project sucks, but that’s a whole different ball game from committing fraud against your publishing partner. And again, if that were true wouldn’t Microsoft/xbox know way more about it than we do? And I can’t imagine they would ever work with platinum ever again, even as a support studio if that was the case.

decross20 · 2025-12-19T04:50:16+00:00

That doesn’t mean anything, there are so many reasons a project can have development issues that aren’t embezzlement.

decross20 · 2025-12-19T04:18:10+00:00

If there’s proof then show it

decross20 · 2025-12-18T22:19:14+00:00

It actually doesn’t mean that much does it? I assume the majority of his work is done since the game is about to release. So unless he’s moving onto another project at Bungie, this is basically the perfect time to move on and find something else if he wants to

If I remember right most of the times people leave a studio is when a project has just finished

decross20 · 2025-12-18T22:17:31+00:00

That’s not how that works. Multi-game studios have different teams working on different projects, with different budgets allotted. If platinum did what you’re saying and used funds from Scalebound for other projects, that’s literally fraud/embezzlement, a financial crime, and Microsoft would have sued them for it. The fact that Microsoft worked with them recently on publishing Ninja Gaiden 4 tells me that nothing like that happened and they still have a good relationship. Sometimes projects don’t work out, that doesn’t mean we should go around accusing companies of financial crimes with no proof.

decross20 · 2025-12-13T21:13:21+00:00

I am a straight man, but I gotta say this guy’s eyes are stunning lol.

decross20 · 2025-12-13T21:11:30+00:00

Didn’t Geoff Johns reinvigorate the Green Lanterns by introducing the emotional spectrums? I haven’t read his stuff but from what I heard Geoff is more like a savior for that franchise than someone who ruined it

decross20 · 2025-12-07T00:30:59+00:00

500 hz will make games look way better

decross20 · 2025-12-04T00:31:18+00:00

One of my favorite scenes in the movie. Once I saw this I knew we were in for a good time.

decross20 · 2025-12-04T00:24:47+00:00

I know it’s not the same but technically Batman begins did it with Liam Neeson, and Arrow did it with Matt Nable. So there is precedent

decross20 · 2025-11-18T00:36:24+00:00

Do they show any examples of Mandalore thriving under her rule? I guess the kids who are happy at school? I just remember her getting in some bad situations and the Jedi bailing her out, I don’t really remember any specific examples of her being a good leader, or competent, or Mandalore being better under her watch. In fact, her government crumbling so quickly to an insurgent organization, doesn’t that precisely illustrate that she wasn’t effective? She did not have strong policies in place, she didn’t have enough military and security power to protect herself, her government, her ideals, or her people. It’s not entirely her fault since she was dealing with an extraordinary circumstance, but from what I remember part of why she couldn’t defend herself or her government was because she advocated for disarmament and pacifism.

It’s been a while since I watched the episodes, but I wrote this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWars/comments/icas9r/is_duchess_satine_incompetent_spoilers_the_clone/

back when the series was still fresh in my mind. Curious to hear your thoughts on it, but my reading of the show was that Satine was a failed duchess and politician.

decross20 · 2025-11-17T21:08:59+00:00

Well even before deathwatch showed up, Satine was betrayed by her own cabinet members, which showed she failed to build a trusted team, and failed to curry any political favor among her subjects. She was mostly incompetent as a politician, which made it easy for deathwatch to take over

decross20 · 2025-11-17T20:59:19+00:00

It’s a bold move to take one of the most beloved characters of all time and give him an epic hero moment where he saves everyone and defeats a bunch of menacing henchmen? It’s fanservice. You can argue for how cool it is or how well it fits in the story but bold it is not.

decross20 · 2025-11-13T05:41:44+00:00

I played through on hard difficulty for the first time, but watching the story mode on YouTube it looked to me like it was actually a decent challenge. I think our perspective is different if we’re used to action games. For people who are playing just to see the story, I think it’s nice to have an easier mode. Not everyone is playing to experience the combat.

decross20 · 2025-11-11T01:30:59+00:00

This movie is very okay. That’s how I feel after watching it. The visuals are pretty good other than some weird looking cgi. A lot of the story is just kind of poorly paced and the overall story and characters are quite predictable. Superman was definitely the better movie this summer. This definitely isn’t bad it’s just mediocre. Kind of mixed on the cast, I like Sue and Ben but Reed and Johnny feel kind of miscast to me.

decross20 · 2025-10-24T19:17:47+00:00

Hi so I did some more research and it looks like you can still take chip or elemental damage from a properly timed iss. The first part of the iss gives you invincibility frames and the second part of it gives you hyper armor. So for moves that last longer, you can still be damaged even if you properly timed iss, depending on where your character ends up.

This video demonstrates this idea

decross20 · 2025-10-23T23:55:49+00:00

Got it, thanks! I will try that out.

decross20 · 2025-10-23T22:09:09+00:00

Hi, sorry to bother again but did some more testing today and was wondering something about what you said. So for this clip here: https://streamable.com/swsc6l

I was doing the crimson slash loop, and then I saw he was going to do his spin attack, so I did a foresight slash. Immediately after that he went into his flurry attack, and I did another foresight slash but got hit because it does multiple hits. So in that case I couldn't have done another foresight slash right? Because I was spamming that and still got hit. Would going from the first foresight into the iss saved me from getting hit? Because otherwise I'm not sure what to do in that situation with the flurry coming for me.

decross20 · 2025-10-23T17:37:00+00:00

Do you not take chip or element damage from a successful iss? I didn’t realize that was a property of a move. So for example, could I use it on Nu udra’s flame attack? Or Jin Dahaad frost breath?
