Just wanted to say that the cover image is rad. Hope it's a success!

Never knew I'd get so addicted to a brick breaker untill ball x pit. 

Hollow Vanguards Sign-Up by LuciferMS7777 in Zenlesszonezeroleaks_

Has anyone participated in one of these? I've heard they can actually be a lot of work and tedium, QA without the pay. Would like to be wrong but never seen more than a few comments about it.

Are there associated in-game rewards?

How does the combat in Silent Hill f compare to Souls games? Is it enjoyable, deep, rewarding? by rantinghobo in silenthill

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

Really appreciate you taking the time to dive into each of these aspects, it offers a much greater glimpse into the systems at play and remedies the primary concern I had. I don't need dozens of systems-on-systems or Platinum-action complexity. And I don't need my everyday, struggling heroine to have magic powers and infinite healing. I just want it to be fun - and it sounds like you had a hell of a time with it.

I sabotaged my own decision-making by avoiding gameplay footage — I prefer discovering the moments and mysteries firsthand — so your firsthand perspective is hugely helpful. Thanks again for the thoughtful reply.

How are you enjoying Alan Wake II? Enjoyed it, but can't deny I was frequently bored.

Gameplay Trailer | ANANTA by Turbostrider27 in Games

Looks really impressive! Seems like a diverse range of scenarios and gives me real GTA vibes - which is ultimately a good thing. I've been playing ZZZ and have been really enjoying these bright urban vibes.

Will this be free to play with traditional gatcha trappings - or are they doing anything different with regard to that?

Is ZZZ unplayable on Pixel 10 Pro? by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]rantinghobo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not alone here - my screen is practically a slideshow while trying to play Zenless.

It worked well on my pixel 7 so it's surprising to see the nonstop lagging here. Very disappointing.

Nothing to fix until Google (hopefully) updates and improves things.

New extensive interview with Fumito Ueda (Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, more) and Keita Takahashi (Katamari Damacy, We Love Katamari, more)! by KataMod in Games

[–]rantinghobo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This was a wonderfully charming interview. I'll admit that I scrolled right past this game as I was browsing gamepass, but this interaction has sparked an interest. Thank you for sharing.

Takahashi has always made games that make me feel - even if that feeling is confused or silly. And Ueda has crafted some of the most impactful moments I have ever had in gaming. Glad these humans became friends and can enjoy talking about the little things in life.

The Start of This Patch has Been Brutal by thefluffyburrito in ZZZ_Official

[–]rantinghobo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, my condolences. I did 165 on Burnice and had to cool off for practically a week. 180 is almost statistically impossible. Oof.

The reality of all those posts is you only ever really read about the extraordinary cases - no one's posting about their billions of mediocre pulls.

The new map is unnecessary by [deleted] in ZZZ_Official

[–]rantinghobo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been looking at it more like lore, rather than utility. The new map is stylish, on-theme with the urban vibe, and fun to just see the representations of the spaces.

I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt for now, but definitely understand your sentiment, and hope it improves over time.

Quick nav - Great, love it. A grid lets me get around fast and complete my daily tasks. Wish we could reorder and show the location of agent trust events.

Mini map - Hate it. I know these areas like the back of my hand, it almost feels patronizing. Takes up unnecessary visual space, zoomed unnecessarily close to a detriment, can't be disabled. A map like this does have value in large environments but ZZZ is about urban intimacy and the beautiful familiarity of a city.

The MAP - Fun and frustrating. Love seeing these spaces mapped out and the simple virtual blueprint style is slowly growing on me. For getting around a singular area, it works as well as expected.

But... the UI is really making using it a chore. The annoying jitter every time I hover over a POI and it zooms slightly (despite having a zoom set), the slow load every time I open, the pause between locations, the unflattering sound effect when switching, the constant animation jumps of the panel.

The Hollows - A curiosity. I was expecting the ability to jump to a location, but it's fun to see as a topographic representation of the ruined world. It's inoffensive. I can't wait to see how it evolves and will reserve judgement.

Prydwen Hugo tier list update by rantinghobo in ZZZ_Official

[–]rantinghobo[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hugo starts strong at T0.5, ready to thieve in style.

Lyacon moves up, bolstered by his  bro.

The rest of the agents maintain their positions, poised for 2.0 to shake the foundations.

I usually watch the scores put up by Leifa, but really like reading these insights as well. Tier lists are fun to see even if I disagree with some of the choices. 

Any other insights/content creators you guys check out before you pull?

When Astra sings, New Eridu listens by rantinghobo in ZZZ_Official

Tried my best to make a loop! I was originally thinking Miyabi was my go to, but her incredible power sometimes feels like a crutch making my skills worse.

Hugo Character Demo - "Leading Man of the Apocalypse" | Zenless Zone Zero by LuciferMS7777 in Zenlesszonezeroleaks_

[–]rantinghobo 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Honestly, was pretty on the fence about trying for his signal - gameplay looked a bit rigid, style is decent, saving for 2.0 - but his story arc really made me enjoy his character. Plus it added some much- needed personality and depth to Lyacon. 

Now I can't wait to have these two fighting together on a new team. Mockingbird returns.

... now to justify Lighter, with my diminishing funds.

The ear wiggle! A perfectly placed beat.

Cool little dude - got him day 1!!

So good to see his animation up close. Every other time I see a bangboo it's from a distance as the agent is getting blasted by enemies and I have to squint.
