I've always had the feeling that Nintendo actively hates their customers. They have creative, smart people working there but they also have an air of being incredibly backwards and stodgy. Also, they loving hate online stuff and seem to try and make anything online be as obtuse and worthless as possible with the exception of maybe Mario maker and mario kart.

even as a gameplay concession the vents that open when you scan them with your camera in hitman 3 are just about the dumbest goddamn thing imaginable and they take me right out of the game whenever i encounter one outside of like the techier areas of chongqing or maybe parts of the skyscraper in dubai

However the gameplay and cuteness of the mobile game on a mobile platform are decent and a lot of people enjoy it. *which means limited availability

how on earth do you do NAT hole-punching without a middleman the whole point is that it needs a middleman server that isn't behind NAT Your PC/switch/xbox/etc only knows its adddress on the local network. It doesn't know your router's external IP address and doesn't know which port the router will randomly assign it for outgoing connections. You send a message to some third-party server asking it "hey pleasehelp". It sees your actual external IP and port and sends it to the peer you want to connect to so they know where to send packets. You can't send that message directly to the other peer because they are ALSO behind NAT and ALSO don't know their public IP/Port.

lobsterminator posted:Going back to eurojank, euro companies were the worst at creating platformer characters. Mainly referring to Amiga games. Whenever Amiga graphicians tried to draw cute stuff it ended up looking wonky. They were a lot better at doing edgy dark stuff. in europe we dont know what cute even means and our cartoons look like this:

Playing it handheld sucks though, the frame rate is super inconsistent so everything feels really jerky. Like even back when I didn’t really notice frame rate stuff because I was used to playing everything at 30fps at best it put me right off the game. If you can’t have a high framerate at least lock it at something stable instead of going up to 60 and then constantly cratering.

!Klams posted:The B.P.R.D comics are awesome, and arguably better stories than the non-Mignola Hellboy stuff. I must admit I didn't 'quite' finish collecting it all, but that was more to do with losing track of what I didn't have than losing interest. There was suddenly a big spike of like, Lobster Johnson, Abe Sapien, Witchfinder etc spin offs and while I love them all dearly, it did get a bit much. since we're on video games, that art style reminds me of the Darkest Dungeon so much. My unpopular opinion is that the sequel so far doesn't really grab me. It seems like it's the same characters from the first one, which is a bit of a disappointment. Each character was some sort of a tragic hero, anti-hero, or random goon already one foot upon the path to madness. I loved it. But there's just so much opportunity for new characters I'm not really thrilled that it seems somewhat the same. It's early enough yet, I could be totally wrong. The quoted artwork above just reminded me of it.

Darkest Dungeon was a very good game, I never bothered beating it but it was a lot of fun. It has a great aesthetic, too

The sound of a critical hit in Darkest Dungeon followed immediately by the narrator whispering "Destroyed..." will always have a special place in my heart. It's right up there with the death of Arachnotrons in Doom II for awesome sound design moments.

Imitation being the most sincere form of flattery and all that. I've mentioned before about how Mignolia's work is so influential that I'm actually kinda sick of all the lovely steam games trying to ape it ever since DD's success.

There are such great mods and even a multiplayer mod. Morrowind and STALKER mods are miles above any other games' mods.

It's a little stupid that it's always swords, axes, and maces like the most common and successful military weapon for thousands of years wasn't a spear.

i agree, its still the melee weapon id choose if i had to, for some reason. not too heavy, can throw it, dont have to get too close to poke or stab with it, you can do that spin trick, etc. even holding a broom is fun. meanwhile in Valheim its the worst weapon with the smallest range and hit box

Vivec, like all reasonable people that attain CHIM, was both Argonian and Colto. I'm sure there's a mod for it. gently caress CHIM rules. More game writers should do drugs when writing side content/worldbuilding.
