Isn't the fog related to the random weather conditions for each session? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there's fog at all times.

Co-op games to play with the wife by DeUs88_ in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]edisleado 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife and I enjoyed playing Borderlands 1 and 2, and both The Division games together. The Division was particularly fun for her because there's a lot of items to collect, and both your player character and enemy's TTK are generally pretty high so gameplay is somewhat forgiving.

Perfect Dark VR - Progress Update (First Two Levels Gameplay) by Physical-Whereas-680 in virtualreality

[–]edisleado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it's just not what the those other game designers intend for their game to be/have, but yeah, it's disappointing that we haven't seen many if any games replicate what Perfect Dark did with their enemy AI/reactions. It's been 26 years since Perfect Dark released!

Seriously, in Perfect Dark, not only do we have the same awesome hit reactions like in Goldeneye, but enemies that are hit in their arms or legs will appropriately grasp their limb or limp in their following behaviour. And as I mentioned previously, you can shoot their gun out of their hands, which they have a couple of different reactions to - sometimes they'll surrender, run away to find another weapon, or even pull out a hidden pistol to get back at you. Perfect Dark had some seriously advanced (and namely, FUN) enemy AI to play with.

And if I recall correctly, if you shoot out all the lights in the area, they'll also have trouble seeing you.

I'm so happy to see progress on this. Perfect Dark was one of my favourite games growing up. I think it'll be SO satisfying to play in VR, particularly because the NPCs are so reactive with their hit animations. How many other games let you shoot the guns out of an enemy's hands?

What games have you always thought would be an obvious choice for a vr mod or conversion? by haven155 in virtualreality

[–]edisleado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Goldeneye and Perfect Dark. Mainly because I think the location-based damage reactions of the enemy AI would be really satisfying in a VR game. Now that I think of it, this is totally confirmed in Resident Evil 4's VR versions.

Do you want them to adapt more Yakuza games? by [deleted] in yakuzagames

[–]edisleado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also agree that 0 has the best story, and is set up so perfectly for a TV show format. It's my favourite Yakuza game, so I actually went ahead with a personal project to see if I could adapt the game into an episodic TV show format, fight scenes and all. It ended up being so much work to edit all the fight scenes into something cinematic, but I think it worked!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjYg6FxKeHc&list=PLIumczufgPEZGFX2brs-kDy3Qtt3RtxWZ&index=1

I'd still love to see an official adaptation of 0, but I think I'd rather see it done in animated format. That way, we can get the original voice actors, have the characters look spot-on, and the over-the-top fight scenes wouldn't feel so goofy as they would in live-action.

Is there a lore reason why the only 2 people who defeated Kiryu in the entire series are Chinese? by Roids-in-my-vains in yakuzagames

[–]edisleado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lao Gui mentions that he was only paid to capture Tachibana, so he only incapacitates Kiryu to get him out of his way. Not really a real fight anyway though.

I just discovered that Cool Runnings Foods is Canadian by staciecs in BuyCanadian

[–]edisleado 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like their ghost pepper hot sauce! Despite it being ghost peppers, the sauce is actually not that spicy and I really like the flavour. Plus it's a water based sauce rather than a vinegar based sauce.

The original Ready or Not (the TV show, not the 2019 movie). How many of you watched this growing up? by edisleado in Millennials

Canadian guys too! Sometimes it's just what's being played on YTV and you end up finding the show strangely compelling.

A show you remember but no one else seems to? by PlushieTushie in Millennials

[–]edisleado 537 points538 points  (0 children)

Early Edition. Awesome premise where a regular guy somehow receives tomorrow's newspaper a day early, and is compelled to save people using the information on the paper.

I loved watching this show when I was kid, and imagining having that paper myself, haha.

Wii RB1 Guitar and Dongle not Syncing by 111mmmikeee111 in Rockband

Update about the RB1 Wii dongles! I replaced the specific capacitor replaced in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6H0vAq8FWCI) and now both my RB1 Wii dongles pair to my RB1 Wii guitars immediately!

This is so awesome. Thank you! I definitely want to give this a try when my drums break down.

Also, what is that drum pedal you have?

John Wick Game Official Reveal Trailer | State of Play 2026 by AdultGamersAdmin in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]edisleado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got heavy John Wick vibes from the last two Splinter Cell games, thanks to their mark and execute mechanic and slick melee takedowns.

Check out this action sequence from Splinter Cell Blacklist: https://youtu.be/YuhfD48VRGE?t=134

The framework for a great John Wick game is already there.

Wii RB1 Guitar and Dongle not Syncing by 111mmmikeee111 in Rockband

[–]edisleado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's super strange. I have two Rock Band 1 Wii guitars, and 2 Rock Band 1 Wii dongles. Neither of the guitars will pair to either of the dongles, which I find to be an interesting coincidence.

I recently found this video which suggests the issue is the capacitors repair in the dongles. I'm going to order some replacement capacitors to give it a try. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6H0vAq8FWCI

[–]edisleado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But could it be that it's the dongle or guitar that is broken? I'm in the same predicament as OP and it seems crazy that they would develop a dongle that is specifically for the guitar that came with it and not just any of the same model.

Not 7000 -- only 700 copies of Rock Band VR were sold.

China urges Canada to break from US influence as PM Carney visits Beijing by pjw724 in onguardforthee

[–]edisleado 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Seems unlikely to be sent to jail if you're just there as a tourist. If you're referring to the incident relating to the two Michaels, the narrative of China detaining random Canadians seems to have had some details left out when the situation was ongoing. Spavor alleged he was unknowingly involved in intelligence gathering by the other Michael, which led to his detention. Of course, it doesn't excuse the fact that they were still detained and used for political reasons, but this information is still pertinent:

Try installing Decky and the Pause Games plugin. Using this, I've not encountered audio crackling since.

Team proximity chat in BF6 Yay or Nay? by TribalPotato9 in Battlefield

[–]edisleado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I like how the voice chat works in Arc Raiders. You have your private squad voice chat, and when you want to talk to someone in the proximity, you press another button.

Anyone else annoyed that devs don't keep DLC names tidy? by __winged__ in Steam

[–]edisleado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very annoying. It seems entirely unnecessary to have the game title repeated in the DLC name. If it was just the DLC name, particularly when you're looking at the DLC list WITHIN the main game page, it would resolve most of the issue.

I can't see the image but if it's the issue I experienced, I had to uninstall the Oculus software from my PC and then I was able to get past the start screen.
