I made Kliff in FE Echoes a Mercenary instead of the obvious trap choice of Archer, The Literal Worst Class In Every Fire Emblem Game, and he gets like 3 crits per battle. He's killed more dudes than Alm, and I gave Alm the ridiculous OP thunder sword

Kliff owns

And to be fair there are a couple FE games with Death Machine Archers (sup Rebecca) but they're still always the worst class

He's okayish. He has thief utility and his stats are okay, especially if he gets a bunch of levels in Lyn's mode

There's no need to rush to be an adult.


So, I just spent all day in RDR2 getting all the satchels. In particular, hours on farming a Cougar in the hills. After a few hours I decide to try leaving the area and reset the world spawn because I only found one cougar with a poor pelt.

Halfway back, south of strawberry and nowhere near the spawn, I hear a guy getting attacked. I go to help him, I'm too late, and the animal turns to me.

It's a cougar. With a perfect pelt. Begging to get a poison arrow to the face.

I get back to camp and make the Legend satchel, and find out that it doesn't double everything. It makes your inventory, as far as I can tell, limitless. I have 10 potent tonics for each core, 30 gun oil, a whole host of meat and herbs...

Just watched tietuesdays playthrough of The Quiet Man.

That was amazing.

The sheer lack of effort by the devs on anything relating to polish is mind boggling. There were even default unreal engine assets still in the game.

It's like why I loved the Obra Dinn for getting into its story through the framework of insurance claims adjustment, the first book gets into its world through the framework of accounting and monetary policy and it owns

They took an FMV game and deleted all the sound from it, giving you minutes-long scenes of characters talking with no audio or subtitles and you have no idea what anyone is saying, even when the deaf PC clearly understands what's being said. It's one of the most bizarre decisions I've ever seen made for a videogame, let alone one with this kind of budget. It's downright flabbergasting that no one at any point said "hey maybe we should add subtitles".

Like, the core idea of making you play as a deaf character is good, but then they made it so that deaf character understands what's going on better than the player does.

The game is getting DLC a week after release that lets you know what's being said in cutscenes, and apparently the ending of the game just smash cuts to a timer until the DLC is released.

the hosed up thing is that the game starts with a splash screen that's like "only scenes in which the main character is intended to have understood the dialogue will be subtitled", and then like one cutscene is subtitled and other scenes where The Quiet Man is actually speaking to someone or being signed to are not

There's an actual ending, that timer is the post-credits stinger just to twist the knife. It's also funny how that DLC is basically just "remove the core concept of the game" when all they really needed to do was add subtitles.

Seriously, that's so weird. Giant Bomb kept wondering if the game was bugged and I'm not convinced it isn't because it just ruins the entire thing to a hilarious degree.

I wonder if they just shot all the FMV and decided it would be better if you never heard any of the actors speak

If it IS a bug, then the it isn't just a bug that wasn't caught until release, but one that they recorded an FMV to advertise the patch for in lieu of actually fixing said 'bug'.
