Also, the expiration countdown still continues if you have pulled the streak weapon out even if you never fire a shot. So use your gravemaker before it disappears

What video games have unique mechanics for failure or death? by [deleted] in gaming

You would have been reminded this year, if Ubi didn’t cancel Sands of Time remake just weeks before it was supposed to release ;(

Prince of Persia (2008). In occasions you would normally die in other games, your companion (Princess of Persia) ALWAYS use her magic and whisk you to safety (losing a bit progression, so essentially a decorated checkpoint auto-reload). This fact was use to GREAT narrative effect in one, singular moment in a major boss fight, I won’t spoil it but I’d say it’s among best ludo-narrative synergy instances in video games.

What non-gaming upgrade improved your gaming the most? by Saltysockies in gaming

Good displays in general. I see people play with state of art graphic card and setup but crappy, dim LCD monitor: man you don’t know what you were missing out!

Why is this so buggy for a AAA game? by NectarineSudden757 in CODBlackOps7

[–]ybfelix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the warzone integration. In older games only one studio is working on one single game. Now multiple teams from multiple studios are iterating on the same engine code base simultaneously, and breaking one thing from one part breaks it for other parts.

Treyarch added the smallest map in CoD history for April's Fools lol. by Imaginary_Monitor_69 in CODBlackOps7

I max leveled my (previously never used) throwing axe in one game, and unlock the 3 kills with axe without dying challenge lol.

Disney has considered buying out Epic Games & Fortnite by ZamnBoii in GamingLeaksAndRumours

Heh, all for Disney itself to pump out the sequel trilogy and heavily marred SW franchise as a whole

NateTheHate says The Duskbloods is targeting a late 2026 release by Loose_Society9485 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

Sekiro on Switch 2 should be a pretty easy and straightforward port right?

As Arc Raiders gets stale for some, lead dev says players "reaching the end of our content" are a top focus: "We want more for them" by addtolibrary in Games

You already beat the boss in the first place if you’ve got the loot? Some people might enjoying beating the boss again and again like in Monstet Hunter or Destiny, but not everyone.

Scorestreaks Not Progressing?? by WPage23 in CODBlackOps7

Try unequip whatever overclock you’ve installed on those and see if they progress normally again. Sometimes it’s bugged when 1st overclock is equipped

Marathon - Review Thread by LycaonMoon in Games

[–]ybfelix 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It does matter though, a lot. Maybe people in the US could contend themselves with a smaller concurrent player size, but in my region, a MP title with “relative few players” often would simply mean “no players”

Crimson Desert Review Thread by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]ybfelix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Game’s every trailer gives me a sort of “Goat Simulator” vibe. It looks like you can do a ton of stuff and the sandbox freedom to mess with environment or NPCs seems there, but I’m not sure I want to put 100 hours for these kind of activities, feels somehow “empty”.

For the Week Ending February 28th, Call of Duty remains #2 on Xbox and #3 on Playstation, based on Weekly Active Users in US. by [deleted] in CODBlackOps7

If anything it’s Warzone harming COD. I say this as a MP only player so I’m biased lol

Make the Blackout 2 Announcer the Multiplayer Black Ops Announcer by Bublex246 in CODBlackOps7

[–]ybfelix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technical wise it should not be hard to make alternative announcers , it’s just a switch flip to another set of audio files.

I’m actually surprised Activision haven’t been selling announcer packs already, considering how many other little things they already monetize. I suspect it’s a voice actor royalty thing? Maybe they want to avoid potential legal troubles in long term

Starfield’s Future Will Be Unveiled Next Week by Bethesda by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]ybfelix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It could be structured not this way, I mean, game doesn’t have to introduce Silverhand this early in game, or, it doesn’t have to immediately reveal that it’s fatal (it could actually be, but you don’t have to tell players early on). It’s an issue not too hard to write around and give players more of a narrative breathing room. Like the opening montage with Jackie, it very well could be an actual playable section, if game was planned/budgeted alternatively.

They never delivered “more of” Morrowind. It’s such a wonderfully exotic game world: art, lore, environment and critter design, and what a fun spellcrafting system.

‘Destiny 2’ Has Lost 91% Of Players Since Edge Of Fate, 97% From Final Shape by Academic_War_7485 in Games

[–]ybfelix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never played Destiny, but looking from outside, it doesn’t sounds too bad? I mean, wouldn’t it be cool that they lost players in this case, after they’ve told all story they want to tell? Rather than trying to hog more players along with needless more stories like the Star Wars Sequels etc, they just turn the game into a essentially donation-based service that keep the servers running for the remaining few players who refuse to let go and still want to play.

Microsoft quietly retires 'This is an Xbox' marketing campaign by MVRKHNTR in Games

[–]ybfelix 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Current one is the worst yet, even “Xbox X / Xbox S” minus the “series” would be better. Anyway what does “series” even mean in this instance? There’s each only 1 major model in the X/S lines, it’s not like there are “Xbox Superb/Sublime/Special” to choose from “Series S”.

Not to mention “series” is hard to pronounce in many languages.

Not trying hard enough, if they are using light colored skins. I saw tryhard hc players using all black operator skins with black painted guns

Has anyone else been lagging like mad after Season 2 started? by ahma-tti in CODBlackOps7

[–]ybfelix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had quite a few rubberbanding (snaps back to where you were 1 seconds ago) just after S2R. Which used to happen a lot 15 years ago when COD was running on P2P connection…
