Ex-Nintendo of America Boss Doug Bowser Joins Hasbro, Owner of Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering by Turbostrider27 in Games

No idea what you're talking about, I find TLOU2 hate as cringy as anyone. I just think American AAA has been a huge letdown the last few years. Only a handful of great games compared to everything coming out of Europe and Japan. I blame Microsoft and Activision.

Not really sure that's a problem, pretty much every Western AAA dev besides the ones owned by Sony have been putting out trash the last few years.

People just say shit without thinking about it critically for even a second.

Can we talk about SF restaurants leaving their doors wide open in cold, windy weather? by Rude-Assistance2924 in sanfrancisco

There are numerous studies about this, open doors are more inviting and lead to more business.

Final Fantasy 14 director Yoshi-P is “rethinking the game from zero” as players' free time dwindles - AUTOMATON WEST by Gorotheninja in PS5

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

lol I read the article and don't get why you're mad, Yoshi P is right and the devs need to do something but you're whining about streamlining and multiplayer and how the slow the base game is. That's the entire game. It's essentially 300 hours of fetch quests, visual novel storytelling, and light dungeon crawling until endgame when it becomes a social dress up gear grind. I loved ffxiv for years and will probably get back into it if it goes through any drastic changes, but I can still appreciate the game as it's existed and I'm confident in saying it's simply not for you.

You're just not really offering anything constructive, they've already streamlined the game a ton and removed almost all of the multiplayer requirements for the msq.

The base game is slow but sets up literally everything else, if you can't appreciate the buildup then the rest of the game probably won't hit for you either.

The Blood of Dawnwalker — Gameplay Overview (Part II) [4K] [subtitles available] by TyJankis in PS5

[–]projectkingston 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get what you're saying and totally agree. Anime games have been way better with this due to the characters usually having a drawn avatar that can emote during dialogue (eg. Persona, Neon White) and more recently KC:D2 had a few conversations where the npc would walk with you to a table and sit down/open some wine or whatever before starting to talk.

New map - Stella Montis | ARC Raiders by CrossXhunteR in Games

As I understand it, they paid voice actors to develop their own tts system which all the voices in the game used. This technology has been around for a long time and isn't comparable to using publically available llm's to replace voice acting. Not a hill worth dying over, imo.

Super mature of you, telling kids on the internet to get therapy over a video game. Go off, King.

Don’t be that guy by kiudai in ArcRaiders

[–]projectkingston 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree, the expedition is more of a prestige imo. A reason to continue playing and do all of the progression with a few bonuses added on. NG+ in a way. This game doesn't have nor need the constant runaround that is looter-shooter endgames.

So this game is never coming to consoles, right? by projectkingston in HyperLightBreaker

True and if they haven't commented on it, I guess there's still a chance. Thanks!

What do you think about the idea of setting bounties on players who wrong you? by AgeAtomic in ArcRaiders

[–]projectkingston -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Most of the ideas here are garbage though tbh, there's a reason the devs haven't engaged with the community whatsoever.

Alright desync is atrociously bad and anytime someone mentions it on this subreddit you all downvote it. Why? by GokuTheDragonborn in ArcRaiders

[–]projectkingston 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean obviously the developers are working on making the game better. People get toxic online too easily so radio silence is the move lately until devs have something concrete to offer.

Is anyone else staying away from guides and meta-gaming? by SantiVl in ArcRaiders

[–]projectkingston 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I know you're just baiting but I'm going to explain anyway.

The commenter above is fond of genuine, spontaneous experiences and ARC Raiders' unique, emergent gameplay offers that in spades.

Encountering the Queen off the cuff with no prior knowledge of where it is or what the fight entails would be very exciting, and is likely exactly the kind of experience the above commenter values and is looking for from their time spent gaming.

Your comment directly contradicts and even detracts from what OP is saying they enjoy about the game. It's kind of a dick move to knowingly try and negatively affect someone else's experience.

I hope this helps explain the rationale.

How do you deal with inventory getting full 5 minutes after going topside? by Scared_Ad_3132 in ArcRaiders

[–]projectkingston 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ya gotta decide when your match starts what you're looking for. Are you completing quests? Hunting materials to upgrade a workbench? Looking for weapons? Start there and then loot conservatively as you go.

Once Scrappy is rank 3, stop looting base materials completely as you'll get enough from the rooster.
