The Titanic posted:To Derek, the game crashes when I switched resolutions to a higher resolution. I'm not sure how up to date my drivers are but they update like once a month usually. When I reloaded the game it had my new resolution set, so it did save it. That was the only thing I adjusted in the menu there. Hope that helps you figure out the big! I am actually not aware of this. What I do know will cause a crash on some systems during a resolution change, is if you choose a high resolution, while setting some of the FSAA options. In fact, sometimes the game will completely refuse to start in that scenario, unless you delete the UCCONFIG.INI file so that a new one with default options is created. I actually wrote a KB article about that. If this is something that you can reproduce with ease, please open a support ticket so that I can see about addressing it in a future patch. Assuming it's for 3.0 and not 2.0 (which I have no intentions of releasing patches for - ever). FYI, you can also add /w to the game's shortcut properties to run it in a window and at any resolution. It appears that you are running the 2.0 version. It's different from 3.0 version that the early access The Lyrius Conflict uses). Those links show the changelog and diffs between both.

I guess he's been so used to Star Citizen that he hasn't had the experience of flying around in space in a space game yet. The pure, uncut essence of Star Citizen, distilled into two sentences.

I've been getting back into Warframe in a big way, and stumbled upon this while playing catch-up for my 2 year absence... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VuYCLelIO8 I honestly wish they would make an honest Star Citizen one. My pitch for it: It would be an overweight man, late 30's wearing bunny ears and bunnyface makeup. It would be him getting increasingly outraged at people saying the game is a scam, and occasionally entering his credit card details to buy the next ship he'll probably never get to see, and waiting for a patch to drop that's almost a year out of date. It would be called "365 days of waiting for an Alpha patch, but still buying every piece of new content"

D_Smart posted:Yes - agreed. But after taking poo poo for so long, one tends not to even bother with rationality. And those fuckers have no desire to help "make the game they like or want to try, better". They just want to poo poo on it because, for the most part, it makes them feel better about their lives less ordinary. Me? I just keep making games that a group of people keep paying me to make. I'm not going to always get it right, but I never - ever - set out to do that. The fact that I started designing a game before I even knew how to program "Hello World", should've been a clue. You keeping getting poo poo on because you are a dense donkey with a loud mouth and megalomaniac complex. Your games are poo poo and this is a fact, no matter how obnoxious you are or that there are 3 masochists, who like them. You need to update your drivers so that you can change the resolution of 15 year old game? And need a loving manual to quit the game? Everybody calling out your bullshit is a nazi? WTF are you smoking?

I always loved reading manuals, back when I would get a new NES or SNES game. If you never read manuals, you'd never learn that Birdo was originally a transvestite. Plus, they always had that great smell. Memorizing keybindings is a separate thing, though. You can't just expect someone to look at an instruction page and remember that poo poo. You need to ease them into it organically, or at least make it super easy for them to find on the fly. The buttons on a PS4/XB1 controller is the maximum you can expect anyone to remember from reading instructions. Multi-finger salutes on a keyboard, gently caress off.

Wiz posted:Like, seriously, one of the things that we have really learned at Paradox these last few years is just how many people are willing to learn how to play complex games if you just try to make them at least a little bit accessible. The whole division of games into 'casual' and 'hardcore' is largely nonsense - sure there are people who will only ever play the spergiest of WW2 sims and people who will only ever play candy crush, but there's a huge audience for deep, complex games that don't require the player to spend their first few hours locked in mortal combat with the user interface. Playing a game is supposed to be entertaining, or at least engrossing, not a test of endurance to prove your skill at overcoming bad UI design. The best example of this is Aurora: A space 4x which can basically do anything you would ever want, but it is at the same time so obnoxiously obtuse playing it is like torturing yourself. I've already bounced off that game three times, every time capitulating before I ever found out how to even start a game.

You can spend your time bitching about people who don't read manuals, or you can realize almost nobody reads manuals and deal with the reality of this by finding a different way to teach them the game. Guess which one is less futile.

Wiz posted:Yeah, they did some crazy clever things with HL2 when it comes to directing the player experience, like placing enemies in particular spots so the player would be looking in that direction when a 'cutscene' (say, a dropship crashing) happened, rather than take control of the camera as most games would've done. Also creating a whole system of heatmaps for where players died/got stuck in their levels during testing, so they could identify problematic level design. It's a real masterclass in so many ways. Revisiting it after I read about their design ethos was really cool, like that children's play set very early on in the game - the first time you play it's a cool little thing, after reading Valve's take on it it was a very cleverly placed item to help introduce physics to the player. The turnstile in the train station was the same, it was specifically put there to force the player to push a thing, we forget now but this was the first time a lot of people had even seen physics in a game, so until that point pushing a thing to open it was a foreign thing to a lot of gamers.

Derek, I have no idea how we're friends on Facebook, but thank you for occasionally liking my posts, I guess. Also I hope this game at some point comes out so it's not going to be the Duke Nukem Forever of the 2020s

I just played breath of the wild and, unlike any other of the newer zeldas the tutorial is basically "this is the button to open the menu, and you can climb like spider-man" and then it just lets you do whatever. Probably go grab some apples. This for the most complex Zelda ever. Granted, they let you know how to open the main menu.

It's genuinely a masterpiece of game design and every open world game should be copying the hell out of it. The weapon breakage is really badly designed, though.
