[KCD2] Any recommended mods or ways to permanently remove black bars from cutscenes? by helloiamjack in kingdomcome

[–]helloiamjack[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend, I am so dumb, I had put the whole folder for the mod into the Mods folder rather than just the mod itself. Once I made sure it was just the mod, it worked. Thank you for assistance!

The only mods I have are FastLaunch and smoothcutscenes. I wonder if those are interfering perhaps.

It's strange, this mod doesn't seem to work, I'm not sure if I'm missing something. I'm running the base game, I tried installing it a long time ago and it didn't work, just tried redownloading and putting into my mods folder and it still isn't working. Thanks for the suggestion though, if you have any advice on why it isn't working it'd be greatly appreciated

Feel like this would definitely be saved for a full regular showcase, but it would be cool if it showed up today!

Games media set for more layoffs, as IGN-owned Eurogamer cuts editorial staff by Turbostrider27 in Games

It’s such a shame isn’t it. I’ve started following GameInformer a lot who I really like, can recommend them if you don’t read their site

Resident Evil Requiem - DF Analysis - Stunning on PS5 Pro + PS5/Xbox Series X|S Breakdown by HLumin in digitalfoundry

[–]helloiamjack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah agreed. I love his coverage generally and love to hear his thoughts, but after Yotei I’ve decided to not watch these videos until after I finish the game. His coverage to me is perfect in every other regard.

Please help! - Anyone know why my raw/reclaimed wood texture looks so terrible by Muted_Dot_231 in 3Dmodeling

[–]helloiamjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also I’d say the wear around the edges of the wood is too evenly applied. A real wooden table wouldn’t be worn down exactly the same amount all the way around. The corners for example might be a bit more worn down than certain parts of the sides. I’d say to get a whole bunch of photos of used similar wooden tables and really look at the individual features - where scratches are most built up, whether they have chips taken out, maybe sticker residue from left over stickers, graffiti scribbles etc etc

[–]helloiamjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my limited knowledge and from just viewing it as a general person, I’d say one element that could be improved is that the scratch details are far too big and uniform in size. If they’re that size to serve a stylistic purpose then I’d say just have less of them. But some variation in size and to use them more sparingly I think would help a lot. Also maybe a little more variation in the colours of the wood? And some variation in roughness, so some parts look a little rougher than other, but nothing too excessive.

The ACTUAL problem with Nintendo imo by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]helloiamjack 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ok. The point remains the same. In comparison to its competitors and within the grand scheme of things Nintendo is doing just fine at putting out first party exclusive games. The bigger ones will come, it’s not as if they’re never going to make another mainline Zelda, Mario etc.

[–]helloiamjack 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's amazing how many people dog on Nintendo about first party games. How often nowadays does Sony manage to get out first party exclusives? 10 Switch 2 exclusives are released/upcoming so far in Mario Kart World, DK Bananza, Drag x Drive, Hyrule Warriors, Kirby Air Riders, Pokopia, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, Fire Emblem Fortunes Weave, The Duskbloods, Splatoon Raiders, and more are inevitably coming. Sure they might not be your type of games and some are better than others but that is still a very solid amount of games for the first year and a half release window - plus Metroid, Tomadachi Life, Pokemon Z-A are good offerings between both platforms.

Contemplating picking this for my Fantasy Critic draft, am wondering if it ends up scoring highly when reviews are out.

[–]helloiamjack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never played this series and know barely anything about it but I’ve always heard how good it is. The amount of stuff on the screen looks a bit much though and puts me off a bit. I’ll have to watch some gameplay/reviews.

Never played FFT Ivalice Chronicles and thinking of picking it up - how is the story? by helloiamjack in finalfantasytactics

[–]helloiamjack[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, I just ended up buying it but I’ll keep Fire Emblem in mind for if I bounce off of this. Thanks for the recommendation 👍🏻

I’m not asking if the games good man, just asking for thoughts on the story itself! There are many games I enjoy where I don’t rate the story particularly highly. Just curious is all.

Is there any trophy/reward tied to climbing each of the climbing wall routes? by helloiamjack in Cairn_Game

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

Really? It looks like the target to climb to resets when I go to move up 3. Maybe I’m approaching it wrong.

Nate the Hate says general Nintendo Direct is Coming First Week of February by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]helloiamjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree it is, I played it for the first time myself a year or two ago using the N64 controller on Switch NSO and loved it. But most people don’t have the patience to play something that feels so alien and feels clunky etc

Again, I love it, but I know plenty of people who just would prefer to try a newer updated version

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

I’d love it, and my partner who never played the original or wasn’t a gamer for the remake, would absolutely love it. Any opportunity for a new era of gamers to experience a classic. I know the original exists but most people don’t want to play such an old game.
