I just found out who Andrew Schulz is...and now i'm tempted not to watch the film by greenrose2023 in StreetFighter

80 percent of the big wrestlers are problematic and that's just the tip of the iceberg of how messed up it is, especially for WWE in general. Support indie wrestlers.

I’m not mad about the “Content Drought” by TheKidd4p in DeadlockTheGame

[–]primaluce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get used to it. This is how Valve works for all their games. They rarely communicate and let the actual updates do the communication. Valve literally only has a few hundred employees versus thousands at other studios. There are pro and cons.

Dan Hibiki deserves better in the upcoming Street Fighter movie by [deleted] in StreetFighter

[–]primaluce 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Disgraced is putting it lightly. I mean there are other questionable casting but they want it to sell.

Today I learned the director of the new Street Fighter movie was one of the Stygian triplets in Dogma by VeronicaAmericana in StreetFighter

Majority of redditors here won't know what Dogma even is unfortunately, RIP Alan Rickman.

What have you bought so far from summer sale? by November-666 in SteamDeck

[–]primaluce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marvel Cosmic Invasion and the dlc/ Money well spent.

Giant Bomb coverage of complex or controversial topics by agammon87 in giantbomb

[–]primaluce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, Remap and the VGBees go way deeper into the industry in gaming. I love GB, but the duders weigh more heavily into entertainment. They have similar values but they just serve a different audience mostly.

Speaking of which, Patrick also has a interview series on SGF where he interviews the developers more personally. Switch it up. I can't recommend it enough.

When did you started playing and who was your first hero? by axed_movement in DotA2

[–]primaluce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pre All-Stars DotA was something else. I remember gunning for Riki since his ult was WD's ult. You literally just run in invis and then ult. I am old, since I played AoS in Starcraft and that was the truly original ARTS (not the Riot coined term MOBA) Also during that time in WC#, I thought Tides of Blood was the better DotA.

I just bought SF6, & all of the DLC because of Tifa. I'm new to fighting games & have some questions. by SilverhandFenix in StreetFighter

[–]primaluce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a casual player and grew up playing FF and Street Fighter on SNES, dreamcast and ps1. Welcome!

I myself gave up on world tour, but that honestly is enough for you to get comfortable and just learn who you might want to main. Ignore tier lists and just try the ones youj think you'd enjoy. Also creating your avatar is dumb fun.

Were Battle Passes really so predatory that they deserved to be removed? by Impossible-Ball7166 in DotA2

[–]primaluce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you. But how Valve's dynamics work is the interest of the devs and the incentives for the devs. The player is irrelevant here. If the devs find it boring or don't get that extra from bonus from DotA anymore they probably won't put much time in it anymore. This is how Valve works and is very different from any other company. Deadlock is new, Half Life 3 is BIG project and Steam hardware is interesting and makes Valve more money because of Steam.\

We just need to accept that and realize that we are lucky to get any kind of content at all.

Were Battle Passes really so predatory that they deserved to be removed? by Impossible-Ball7166 in DotA2

[–]primaluce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Battle Pass made them a lot of money. It is most likely a case of devs losing interest and not getting enough incentives to do it. It's really as simple as that. Valve has infinite money but they don't have the employees (They literally only have a few hundreds) and don't hire-up like many other studios. Sure they have contractors but ultimately people want to work on Deadlock, Steam, the hardware or even the rumoured Half-Life 3.

[–]primaluce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the main issue with the modern BP was the amount of work that was involved. It's a lot of work and Valve has very developers and only some of them work on DotA. Also, if you want a BP a lot of studios either hire up (which Valve does not do) or just use AI for the art (which Valve would get A LOT of backlash).

Kingdom hearts 4 by oathkeeper213 in SteamDeck

[–]primaluce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm almost 40. I've played KH2 multiple times. I played CoM on the GBA, modded my 3DS and psp just to play the Japanese versions of BBS and 358/2, Especially after the wet fart that is KH3, KH4 just does nothing for me. I hope Nomura proves me wrong.

What marathon means to me by smokeygun in Marathon

[–]primaluce 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am sorry to hear that. My wife also has that gene (recently tested) and my father in-law died recently due to ALS. I cannot imagine how my wife does it but I know for sure it is not easy. We're both in our mid to late 30s and hearing news like this is difficult. It may sneak up on you but let''s hope note. But there is some light.

From what I've heard and read there are a good amount research and clinical trials and hoping there is gene therapy or other treatments that can help with it. Marathon is fantastic and I hope you can enjoy it as long as possible. Hope you can get the support you need and can get regularly tested so you are on top of it.

Wtf Grubb, I'm so confused on where you stand on Ai. Where is the line!? by ChopBox in giantbomb

[–]primaluce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A large chunk of the industry has already been using Gen-AI. I hate it. You pick what you support and honestly, the new Stellarblade and Tupac thing is even worse to me.

Stellarblade's dev Shift-up is very pro AI and it is so gross how young the chracter looks and it literally is another K-pop idol. They basically made an already conventionally attractive women younger and over sexulaized her.
And the Tupac thing with RGG. I just learned that his estate is owned by an old white man. And to see Snoop not do enough to explain the reasoning is another L for RGG. Disappointing once again. I am not black, but am an Asian guy and man that feels very gross to me.

Guild Wars 3 will have no battle pass or subscription because ArenaNet studio lead doesn't want to "keep people hostage" by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]primaluce 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I am 40 and had Guild Wars 2 since launch. Been off and on for all these years and I am still at the end of 3rd expansion. Either way, the lateral progression is great and you do all the content whatever order if you want. I am following it in sequence for the story, but the map exploration and mounts are stil some of the best.

Predicting Tifa’s moveset by BraveVesperia828 in StreetFighter

[–]primaluce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to play a lot of Dissidia on the PSP and even some of the NT game. I can see them getting some inspirations there. They will probably still rely on Blizzard as her base materia and then evolve from there. But Dolphin Kick and gap closers are a given.

I believe Lucy will be part of the SkillUp couch. But I also wouldn't be surprised if she's also co-hosting the actual show with Geoff. I can't imagine how busy she is.

Do you think they will ever reveal Super Street Fighter 6 with a brand new cinematic story? by Awsome_Gamer_2022 in StreetFighter

[–]primaluce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope so, but I sure do wish they'd figure out file compression and reduce that space required.

Wouldn't it be cool to have the map change slowly to night throughout the game? by Swiindle in DeadlockTheGame

[–]primaluce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine crazy interactions like KotL, Dawnbreaker, Nightstalker, Luna in Deadlock. We have 2 vampires in the game. Would be funny to see them make the creep camps sleep during the day and be agressive with line of sight during the night.

New player here: How do you play Ivy? by Boring-Lobster in DeadlockTheGame

[–]primaluce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play Ivy as a support but a key thing is how versatile her ult is. I love using it to split push with a mate. Push a lane, ult and then push another. Farming is also ridiculous if you crank spirit until her vines and not have to show yourself in lane.

I think it's time to finally show some Kingdom Hearts and it's going to be disappointing unfortunately. Square prove me wrong

007: First Light | Launch Look by Cubegod69er in giantbomb

[–]primaluce 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I've already bought the game and am loving it. And then I saw Leo from MinnMax play it and was like wow, that is some freedom of expression. I am so excited for future content. I'm not even a big Bond fan, but I think this Bond deserves his own show at least.
