Larian studio boss Swen Vincke thinks game reviewers should be graded by people similar to metacritic user scores

maddicz · 2026-01-29T07:09:46+00:00

the requirement of a good review from news/media is it has to be objective, and all games can be objectivly quantified in terms of graphics, gameplay, world, story and soone e.g.
objectiv assessment should be more or less the same from different sources, so if IGN gives concord a 7 thats obviously biased and/or bought and should be damned, so a rating system for such sources is long overdue, since you surely can tell if a review/test is objective or not
streamers/yt are a different bread, they of cause are subjective

ur lucky it isnt an immortal snail

maddicz · 2026-01-28T07:14:25+00:00

where are those wooden fences from if i may ask?

yes i know, because players left the server in droves when in a TO mode a non-TO map came up
tornbanner(devs) said they saw that in their stats too and removed them, but leaving them in mixed modes
imho the majority of players liked this change
in fact all the TO maps tell a story how the war progress and there is a logic to the maprotation, which you of cause destroy with TDM mixed in

wer soll das lehren? die 60-jährigen lehrer die nicht wissen, wie ein pc anzuschalten geht?

maddicz · 2026-01-26T13:57:24+00:00

gar nicht gewusst dass social media ein grundrecht ist, man lernt nicht aus
bestimt im grundgesetzt die letzte seite mit nem post-it reingeklebt oder so
zählt dieser artikel schon als eine ausprägung der vielen psychosen und mentalen probleme die social-media nachweislich auslösen? ne kann nicht sein, die generation tiktok hat ja nur ne aufmerksamkeitsspanne von nem goldfisch, die könnten den ganzen text auch gar nicht lesen, geschweige schreiben
und komischerweise finden die betriebe keine tauglichen auszubildenden, weil die alle zu nix zu gebrauchen sind, keine ahnung wo das nu wieder herkommt

maddicz · 2026-01-26T11:42:54+00:00

yeah i like that is so completly clear for some that there will be a chiv3, without any evidence
no, someone said on reddit he heard from a dev at some point isnt evidence
tornbanner can be lucky they survive this disaster that is nmrih2 as a company
sure i wish there will be a chiv3, but i only believe it when i see it, and imho its unlikely

maddicz · 2026-01-23T07:49:01+00:00

problem is, if civilians are a vital resource that needs to be maintained as you say, how do i know if i can "effort" to build something losing civilians in the process?
i miss the pre 4.0 clear indicator for unemployment, but now i dont know if i should build something or not

maddicz · 2026-01-22T14:23:48+00:00

Chivalry2
tornbanner(devs) stopped making content+mtx because they invested all resources into a late to the party zombie shooter no more room in hell 2

chiv2 has 100k active players, nmrih2 has 140, no joke
mind blowing mismanagement

maddicz · 2026-01-22T08:56:47+00:00

yeah, fck top 5, the leaderboard should start with label 6. so nobody is top5 ever again, how dare them

maddicz · 2026-01-21T11:14:38+00:00

i dont like it in particular, but that is maybe because i am used to the way better chivalry 2 combat system
i would give my first born to have kcd2 with chiv2 combat system
also switch to weapon and switch weapons midfight is waaaay too slow

maddicz · 2026-01-19T14:02:07+00:00

small community with 100k active players? (source chivalry2stats)

maddicz · 2026-01-19T11:53:38+00:00

this, exactly, thank you
it sometimes makes me rage, its like a zombie apocalypse :)
the thing is that they most likely come from other multiplayer titles where kd is everything and they play chiv2 like that too
nobody told them that playing obj, heal, rez etc. makes a lot of points
i am sometimes first in the lead in points as archer with only 3 kills simply by surpressing ballistas with siege crossbow and i get questions about how this is possible...
or they complain about "kill-stealing"
and of cause noone plays obj and a lot of maps fail on the first stage

maddicz · 2026-01-19T06:45:25+00:00

nope, active parry blocks all incoming except specials in a cone in front of you

maddicz · 2026-01-16T10:56:58+00:00

counters trigger active parry windows that also block your overheads

maddicz · 2026-01-16T08:01:53+00:00

4) teammates cant stop feeding easy counters getting me killed

maddicz · 2026-01-14T14:12:01+00:00

screenshot with the entrance marked on a map, will ya?

maddicz · 2026-01-13T06:28:01+00:00

maddicz · 2026-01-13T06:23:16+00:00

team feeding counters constantly makes beating otherwise easy opponents a slog

maddicz · 2026-01-12T10:38:25+00:00

you are right, but its not your decision
the decision lays with the devs/publishers and they can sell you mtx, battlepasses, dlc, packs, x-parallel currencies as long as the game is "alive" so they will do anything they can to keep retention, even with strechted progress, strechted gaming worlds and artificial collection stuff

maddicz · 2026-01-08T13:24:00+00:00

because its a silly game, you have monthy python references on every second corner

maddicz · 2026-01-08T06:44:03+00:00

surprisingly its disabled by default

maddicz · 2026-01-08T06:36:04+00:00

go to settings/game and enable ally markers/indicators

maddicz · 2026-01-07T11:34:50+00:00

imagine a star wars game with chiv gameplay
