Everything about FF13 sucked. Honestly, Lightning was the best part of the entire game just for being so utterly sick of everyone's poo poo and constantly physically and verbally abusing the rest of the party.

Of course, that was supposed to be her pre-character-arc personality and a flaw she needed to overcome. Considering that everyone she took to task generally deserved it, though...

Lightning is only good in her so sick of this scenes. When they try to give her some character beyond that she turns into as much of a cheesy gently caress up as the rest of the cast.


Besides best character is Sazh.

It's going to be fun when Nintendo eventually releases some kind of female counterpart to Bowser (because this would be consistent with the pattern they've had for adding new characters to the Mario "canon" anyway) and has to clarify "NO IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF THAT INTERNET THING".

Yeah, I was gonna say. I don't remember more than 8 things about FF13 but I could've swore that people generally liked Sazh the most out of everyone.

Anyway, decent mods.

I hope it's okay to post this here, and...well, I guess I'm REALLY hoping this veers more into the Awesome side than Awful, but I'm almost done with a pretty large quest/companion mod for FO4 and just started the beta-testing phase.

Behold. And... be kind? =(

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CG_61ZWpDDI

In addition to the story and companion, there's also a lore friendly in-game radio station, custom soundtrack (that you can hear some of in the youtube link here), multiple endings and legitimately good voice acting. (That last part I can say with confidence because it's not me doing it LOL)

If anyone here wants to help out with Beta testing it would be much appreciated!

Somebody started to retexture Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines in 4K with all new lighting adjustments that together really make the game look ten years younger.













Unfortunately they also seemed kind of sensitive from what I've gathered and they felt their ego had been hurt so they ended up swearing off the community, saying they'll only come around to ask technical questions if the need arises but promising that work on the project will continue. He mentions Wesp freaking out on him about every little change and as funny and likely as that seems, looking through that thread I just don't see it. Dude said he wasn't gonna take his ball and go home but that's exactly what he did. It seems that they also shut down the only page the project was hosted at.

What a waste.

The fact that the project was hosted on DeviantArt means it's quite unsurprising that the guy is over-sensitive and doesn't take feedback well.

Well this sure was a thread. First post I read is a long and haughty "I'm an expert so I don't need you explaining things to me, pleb" and it went downhill from there. And then kept going.

like you i see wesp trying to help but this dude makes the worst possible assumption of everyone else's posts and then writes out an angry response because how dare other people not be psychic and know exactly what he knows and it just snowballed from there.


e: if anyone's earned the right to try to warn or advise a VTMB modder that people are sensitive to terminology in that fanbase, it's wesp

Really? Lord knows it isn't good but I've never found it so miserable that it discourages me from playing. Crossbow bolts not being affected by Celerity is the height of bullshit, though.

the combat in VTMB is really not fantastic so having the entire third act lean really hard into it is a serious turn off for me. bach is a fun fight but everything after him is a boring slog of faceless enemies using one of the wonkier and more unbalanced combat engines of that decade.

unbalanced here meaning "there's a gigantic difference in ability with just a few dots" with the implication being "if you don't hit those breakpoints you're in for a very bad time"

same reason why everyone loathes the sewers really, though the final act of VTMB manages to be even MORE boring by not even having random files to pick up.

i just give myself some stat points and go to town whenever I get bored in the endgame. it does get dumb so just trivialize it to power through. I'd suggest that approach. I've done the whole thing legit enough, nothing to prove, makes it a better experience.

I think there's a couple dialog lines that implies the game takes place across the span of a couple of nights, but it doesn't really seem that way.

Yeah it's this. Your character supposedly is sleeping through the day but the game never really portrays it.

That's why there's those giant plywood rectangles all over the place, I think the idea is that they're normally covering the windows but the fledgling takes them down at night.
