There are a ton of fun games to play right now. WW2’s campaign is satisfying and exciting as gently caress. The battle of the bulge mission left a bulge in my pants. There is this moment in it in the snow where a bunch of smoke grenades are popped and like a hundred Germans start running at your trench through the fog as allied p-38s drop hot loads into the forest around you and it’s seriously so loving intense. rear end creed actually is unironically good. And, then, there’s like a million little $15 games on the Black Friday sale that are enjoyable for hours on end. You do not actually need to play destiny 2 if you don’t want to. Hell, you don’t even need to have it installed! Also pornhub has a Black Friday sale FYI.

Blind Rasputin posted:rear end creed actually is unironically good. Played the Ezio Collection trilogy a while back (3 and 1 best) as D1 was winding down, playing the next set of three games now. Black Flag was buttholes but I finished it earlier today and started Unity, which is hot fire. I am very excited to grind away on it, then play Syndicate, then the newest one, all instead of playing Destiny

Landing on Venus: the corrosive atmosphere melt any drone we sent there in minutes. Reading Reddit: the storm of salt has epic proportions and hardware last only seconds. I don't want to be that guy, but if so much people are not happy with the game maybe they should find something else to do? maybe? I just started playing Persona 5. Basic field report: Is good, is very good, I vouch for it.

Legs Benedict posted:also remember the interview with Lars where he was like “the crucible team kept saying that 4v4 would be bad but I really liked the idea so I pushed it through because you gotta break eggs to make an omelette” This explains why every single PvP map is way too big for 4v4 then. If Bungie can instantly turn-off an XP nerfing system once the community discovers it I'm sure they could take five minutes to switch all the PvP modes over to 6v6.

One thing i always find funny is when you load into Crucible it still shows the fire team sizes as 6. So each team lists out as 4/6. Cant tell if that's just incompetence hiding that its def still the same d1 backbone or just lazy.

The maps aren't too small, and even if they are, maps being too small for 6v6 apparently didn't bother them much in Destiny 1

This is just the same poo poo you will look back on in a year when the game is cleaned up and wonder how people even played the game at this point. This is the beginning and the end. Also what kind of weirdo doesn't like the new Doom.

I dunno man maybe just go change whatever value sets the teamsize from 4 to 6? Guy's trying to pretend it's this monumental task that would somehow break everything and take so much work when in reality someone could do it during their lunch break and still have time to poo poo on this guys desk before getting back to work. Then again maybe he's got bigger problems if he thinks teams reverting back to six people instead of four is somehow doubling their size, he can't even get basic maths right.

If we went back to 6v6 pvp without carefully adjusting everything else it might result in a bad pvp experience......

Going from 8 players to 12 means you're multiplying the network traffic by over 2.3 times. It's not as simple as just changing a number in a db.

Having worked on AAA games I can tell you they are not a guarantee of any given area of the code being easily extensible. A huge amount of things are hard-coded in myriad spaghetti-like ways. That's not even considering the networking implications of a third more players.

It's really hard to estimate how hard a particular task would be in a codebase of this size with no knowledge of it. At the very least you'd have to have to update the HUD and match intro cutscenes and probably a bunch of other internal things I can't think of off the top of my head, all of which would be heavily dependent on how well and flexibly they were written in the first place.

it’s true that you wouldn’t be able to flip a switch and make it 6v6 it’s also true that it should never have been 4v4 in the first place and that lars is a shithead

4v4 isn't the problem, high cooldowns and the high ttk are why PvP is so goddamn boring.

Good points regarding the HUD & intro, but considering the game counts fireteams as 4/6 I think we all know deep down that it would be a very quick change to make, he's just fallen into the trap some developers do where they think they know better than everyone else and double down with dumb excuses to defend their bad decisions. Does anyone really think that the game was developed with 4v4 in mind and maps like Vostok are just comically large because Bungie wanted to explore the walking simulator genre? It was obviously changed from 6v6 to 4v4 at the last minute and the only reason it would remain 4v4 is because Lars can't admit he screwed up and should have listened to his team. Looking on Glassdoor you can see this arrogance is rife among development leads in the studio.
