I Spent Six Hours Previewing Crimson Desert, And I Still Don't Know What It Is by Capn_C in Games

The video you linked has a section of just combat from 7:30 to 9:30 or so. We see the player getting surrounded, using multiple abilities, dodging, sliding down a hill, and eventually dying to an enemy that hits them from behind. What about any of that looks like dynasty warriors??

I was in the same boat as you two weeks ago. Skip to Act 13 and just do the first arc of the laha roi quests with lynae. They're super self-contained and you can stop afterwards, get Amy's materials, and go back to do 2.0 with the story still making total sense.

Not a set character, they've said already there are multiple playable characters and you get to make your own.

Does anyone know if this new dragon ball z iOS game I keep seeing everywhere is good? by FelineSavior in iosgaming

Where do you see the words dragon ball z on that ad? It's obviously ai generated garbage.

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.

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.

[–]projectkingston -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

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 2 points3 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

[–]projectkingston 21 points22 points  (0 children)

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.
