rePool posted:Found the unicorn. Those weren’t independent auditors, and the valuation has a direct impact on what 10% of the company actually is. Right now, it’s effectively worth a liquidation of assets; the Calders are working on the basis of the sold product exceeding the current base of people who’ve already bought Squadron 42. And an actual lower valuation by liquidators means that the Calders get more of the corpse when it comes time. Does blobers do bitcoin? I feel he should.

It's an independent valuation. See? Similarly the game is good, it's been in development for only four years, Croberts was a millionaire before the kickstarter, etc.

The entire game can and has been completed with the most basic, unlevelled characters. It isn't perfect, but it is the model I wish most games followed. Isn't that basically the Zelda 2 model of doing things?

Yeah, but tally up the time we spend in this thread, reading about that failure of a game, or even shitposting about it. I mean....we don't have moving pictures here, but it's not far from it. Someone do the math, please, what gets more attention in regard to time spent consuming it: this thread (per person) or the Relay thingy? I have no idea what the outcome would be, but I have a really bad feeling about it....

The entire game can and has been completed with the most basic, unlevelled characters. It isn't perfect, but it is the model I wish most games followed. It's got a retro feel and I'm sure I've played something exactly like it back in high school, but I can't remember which game. Maybe all of them. Back in the day, games were always like this: you were fighting the controls for the most part, you had to memorize and learn the layouts, level design didn't hand hold you. Half the difficulty I've been having is unlearning the standard control schemes nearly every other game assumes you already know. It's like driving a car where the wheel turns you the opposite way and the brake and gas pedals are reversed. It's not "hard" per se, you just have to unlearn a lot of habits. The hardest part to me, by far, is getting all the new mechanics in my head. I don't know what to do with all this extra inventory, I realized some can be consumed for souls which appear to be currency of some kind, I bought a storage box and a repair kit which definitely opened stuff up. There's this "humanity" mechanic that does little more than confuse the gently caress out of me. But for the most part I'm coming along. Soon I will be the terror of Boneberg or whatever it's called, and then I'll move on. Took a while to even realize the gear I started with is pretty much all I'll need, and the level-up mechanic is marginal and also not really a requirement. Very different kind of game.

When in doubt, pump endurance so you can roll around more, and wear heavier stuff. And souls are both money and XP. And if you get an item called Firekeeper’s Soul DO NOT “USE” IT. Give it to the lady chained up in a cell directly under the Firelink bonfire.

Scruffpuff posted:Speaking of gear progression, I gotta mention this because it's been bugging me. I put in my zillion or whatever requisite hours into AC:Odyssey which, in its current form, was more than worth the $5 I dropped on it. It's basically not even an Assassin's Creed game because the movement and combat are easy to control and engage in. If I'm not fighting with esoteric controls and spasmodically jumping and sticking to the wrong walls, it's not an AC game. That said, I enjoyed it nearly as much as Black Flag, which is saying something. It wasn't until I was level 70-something that I realized, why are there levels in this game? You level up incredibly rapidly so the fact that early on some zones are leveled our of your range means nothing by the time you reach them. Yet the rest of the game continuously levels with you, making your level progression not really have an impact. On top of that, the game rains gear on you, which is all the exact same gear with different levels on it. Wear the newer poo poo and keep up with it, and you can kill everything with ease. Which, in my opinion, makes the leveling pointless, and adds a lot of unnecessary maintenance activities. You're no more powerful at 70 than at 40 (assuming you've unlocked the talents you want) and the extra bonus skillpoint tree is a pointless sink that adds very minor benefit that doesn't really translate into a noticeable advantage. It's a weird mechanic that takes away from an otherwise great game. Levels after there to sell the level up potions from the cash shop.

jarlywarly posted:At this point I'm pretty sure Subnautica is the best game I've ever played. Subnautica, once again, epitomizes the argument that the thing that makes single player games great is not mechanics or story or graphical fidelity, it is flow. That game has the most intuitive flow of anything I've played in the last five years. The story's fine, the mechanics are polished but not particularly original base-building survival, and the graphics are cute but simplistic. Take those elements and put them in any other game, and you have one of a million rubber-stamp clone games on steam. It's the flow, the design of that world, that makes it so effective. That and the fact that they didn't base their progression around combat, I think- they had to make exploration the most rewarding activity because that was the main thing the player was going to do. All the other survival games focus on murder as a be-all and end-all.

Everything about it is really nice, from the story, to the progression, to the graphics, to the mechanics... but it just doesn't click for me. Not sure why, it really should, it ticks all the right boxes. Sometimes a game just does that (or not as the case may be).

Let's also not forget a significant number of flight sim enthusiasts are actual pilots using it to keep their real life skills up and relevant. I'm sure some day professional pirates and stranglers will have detailed wank pods to keep their real world skills up to snuff.

It took hours of hauling crates one at a time! I'm guessing the whole thing was edited to eliminate about 50,000 crashes and restarts! In the end they made 170k, almost enough for a... <checks notes>... literally nothing. You cannot buy anything with that amount of money. The most worthless ship in the game costs 250k.
