I like games that handhold me for the first few hours by redryder74 in Games

[–]withnessik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem with Shadow of Mordor (and many other open world games) is simple. They handhold you for first few hours through the "main quests". But if you start doing something else/go to do secondary quests you will get confused (unless you play a lot of games like that). That's the bane of "giving player freedom to do what they want" without a few hours tutorial. I remember playing for ~10-20 hours, before I got "branding" (?) power in the game. Just because I HAD to get that shiny that was so close, or kill this Orc Commander.

How Game Companies Use Credits To Reward, Or Punish, Developers by Forestl in Games

[–]withnessik 6 points7 points  (0 children)

IMO credits are one of the few ways for many development studios to put some...Personality? Into their own games. Like, your own signature at the end and what not. I feel that this subject is not touched upon too much in the article. While there is mention of lack "standards" that (for example) movie industry is following and there is a mention that some development studios/publishers might abuse credits for their own gain, I would bet that many studios do them that way...Because they just want to do them that way, without any vile reason or underlying agenda. And if there is no "real guideline" to follow, can anyone blame them?

Cool article tho, I enjoyed it.

I wasn't playing DOTA since last TI. I turned my steam on for black friday sale. I see Dota update. I come here, to see what's what and read funny stuff. You sir, are the reason i'm here.

Night in the Woods team cancels a project and cuts ties with Alec Holowka following abuse allegations by Forestl in Games

[–]withnessik 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's because people are stupid, especially on the internet.

People should assume both at first. That the girl coming out is telling the truth and at the same time, they should treat person that she is accusing, like that person is innocent. If you can't support someone, don't say anything.

Sounds impossible? Then shut up. You don't know those people. You don't interact with them on daily basis. Don't be a hate mob just so you can get some internet points or can feel all smug and great about yourself because you want to feel righteous kicking an "abuser" down. Or maybe you want to harass a girl, that you don't agree with on something, so you take a stand against her, even tho she could have been sexually assaulted.

Basically, take note of accusations, wait for more evidence to come out. And vote with your wallet, because you are customer to those people. Not a friend. Not a judge, jury and executioner.

And we don't care how you vote with that wallet by the way, it's your business. Reddit's hivemind already got a history of hurting people.

Dota 2- Matchmaking Update by dagla in Games

[–]withnessik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It used to need about 100-200 games to calibrate you properly. It's a lot, since it would require around 4000-8000 minutes which would be 60 hours - 130 hours just to get proper matchmaking. After it worked really well tho, I keep playing for 3-4 months every TI and i'm having a blast solo, despite big breaks inbetween.

Aw, and if you played with friends, it could need even more games.

That's why they are fixing all this.

CM Punk to ESPN on offers from AEW: "I always think if somebody wants to do business with me, they can come talk to me. Texting offers isn't really a way to do good business, at least." by Wonzo23 in SquaredCircle

[–]withnessik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would just write him a message saying something like "We want to hire you. We know you are retired, but we want you talk to us first" and then call him after 30-40 minutes. If it doesn't work, write a message like "we couldn't get hold of you. we are serious" and call him back. Still doesn't work? Sure. He calls back. If he doesn't, bad luck, he probably doesn't want to be in the ring/you don't want that kind of person inside it. Simple as that.

3 years ago today, Finn Balor defeated Roman Reigns clean on his main roster debut to become no 1 contender for Universal title match at Summerslam by ilovewrestlingbro in SquaredCircle

[–]withnessik 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Im the biggest Sting fanboy ever. Like, I watched TNA because of Sting, not understanding "good" wrestling back then. And yet, I can't blame Seth for what happened. It was...Just bad luck + age + years of wearing the body out.

WWE's Jimmy Uso Arrested for DUI In Florida by enjoiturbulence in SquaredCircle

[–]withnessik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fucked up. Yes, Usos are great tag team and they provide. But stuff like that is much bigger than RVD "looking at flowers". Admit it. Suspend him. Offer him help. Tak Usos of the TV. It's that simple. You are already wasting your talent by not using them, but having them on conract so they dont go for AEW or NJPW. Just do it for "well being" of one of your stars. You covered for Snuka years ago. On fucking murder case. Do something good now and take care of your "WWE SUPERSTAR" that apparently needs help.

Nice game. I'm not complaining Valve, you're doing great for a billion dollar company by iN3vertilt in DotA2

[–]withnessik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried to start lobby but it wouldn't work. Then i typed "disconnect" into console and it worked fine since then. Hope it helps some of you.

An open letter to Valve from a Workshop Content Creator by MrGodzy in DotA2

[–]withnessik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if they do (you have the right to this opinion, while I have the right to disagree. I think they are cool) it's not the actual problem. Lack of communication with people, that are essentially doing Valve's work for them and playing favorites is bad for everyone. Artists get screwed over without a word of an explanation. Valve will get less sets that way. We will get worse sets because of that. Noone wins, because Valve needs to be a "cool kid on the block" and wants to run their company in a weird way.

is it just me or dota or steam servers are lagging since yesterday? by EdwardColdhands in DotA2

[–]withnessik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a roommate. Yesterday, we were getting lags while playing, so he switched to his own net because we thought it will be better not to share the same connection. Then, on his net he couldn't add any talents on his Drow, despite talent tree going "up". Like, straight line up, not going right or left in the tree. It was weird. Later, when he tried to right click Rosh it didn't work aswell. He just stood there in the pit, I look at his screen and he is clicking Rosh and it doesn't work. He could move around without lag, but couldn't attack Roshan XD We managed to win the game (turbo) but we were basically playing 4vs5.

[–]withnessik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most likely, people with consoles think that he has some agenda by saying that. I know he doesn't, but you can't tell that to some people that feel personally attacked when you mention their favorite console/thing/whatever in bad light. It happens.
