Oh yeah, the 3d arcsys games are all over stuff like ballooning limbs out to insane sizes for cool shots. New Frame Plus shows off some of how insanely fine-grained the rigging is in their video about Xrd and DBFZ: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZsboyfs-L4

Tunicate posted:I have to wonder how many of those poses were just taken from a fashion machine cover and could have actually been done through trick photography and messing with depth of field yeah, looking through the pictures on the original article ( which has moved to https://cgworld.jp/feature/jojo-anime.html ) most of the "broken" poses seems like they could have been basically made by a normal person/unbroken rig. But they probably made the models to fit most situations and they aren't as malleably as normal people so there are some edge cases where breaking is easier. Or they could just have changed they angles by a few degrees , but I assume they were going for pixel perfect copy of the original comic.

There's a sentiment I've seen in several behind-the-scenes features for CG movies and games: "If it won't be shown, don't do it." Your time and effort is limited, so there's no point even animating things that are out of frame. This leads to things like a character model bouncing along a street in t-pose because the camera is only focused on their face. I'll be honest, this is a point in favor of freecam.

haveblue posted:Yeah in live action movies you can assume that there are a couple of crew members holding lighting or audio gear just out of frame at any given moment I do wonder how much of a nightmare Hardcore Henry must have been to film - if you haven't seen it, it's an entirely first person thing shot with a gopro strapped to the main actor's head, done as a "single shot" (although obviously with a lot of hidden cuts, it was not actually shot as one continuous take). They probably didn't have as much crew around as you would in a normal film because of this, and a lot of the effects are CGI rather than practical, but there still must have been a lot of stuff just out of frame (if nothing else you'd have extras waiting for their cue to run into frame and get shot) and how highly choreographed it must have all been to avoid having the lead actor ever look at any of it.

Tunicate posted:Star control 2 has a progress slider for all the voice-acted dialogue, AND has it in text form as well. So to make this topic-appropriate let's bring up a Star Control 2 bug in the category of "this wasn't tested because seriously who would be insane enough to actually do this?" The very first thing you do in Star Control 2 is approach Earth and visit a Starbase that's orbiting the planet, which becomes your home location for the game once you do the small tutorial quests within the solar system, introducing you to landing on planets and fighting enemy spacecrafts. This is where you upgrade your flagship, refuel, fill up on crew, buy fighter craft for space battles and landers to visit planets and collect stuff... extremely important stuff. Towards the very end of the game, you use an item to free an alien race from another planet, and you then get automatically transported back to the Starbase with your ship having gotten modified by the race you freed for the final battle. You might see where this is going. Yep, someone managed to play through the entire game without ever unlocking the Starbase, relying on alternate methods of refueling, the single lander you start the game with, and fighter craft you get for free through story events. It should be mentioned that this means you cannot in any way increase the speed or turning speed of your flagship, making it accelerate and turn like it's moving through molasses and giving it a top speed of "lol", which also means getting attacked a whole lot more as you will not have much of a chance to outrun enemy craft that's targeting you. So when the time comes for you to get transported back to the Starbase with the modified ship at the end... the game just crashes. I think this was fixed in The Ur-Quan Masters, if any other spacefaring masochists out there want to do the challenge. An early release of the PC version also had the fun bug of that you could sell more landers than you actually had, meaning you could get infinite free currency immediately when you unlocked the Starbase. But that was fixed in a later release already back then.

The extra fun thing is that until you visit the Starbase, a difficult Hyperspace encounter is set to spawn in about twenty times more often than it should.

I can't believe this is still happening - not the boss panties part, the hackers gifting 'impossible' items to people and getting them banned. I saw a video years ago for one of the Souls games where a hacker went around dropping multiple copies of weapons upgraded to levels beyond any you could in the game. As soon as someone ran over and picked it up they'd get a banned message. And it's not like there's any way to even tell what they were about to pick up. Dropped stuff just looks like a little glowing bag.

Neito posted:How were the hackers not banned for having it? Or was it only checking on pickup or something? In every fromsoft game that’s had a softban feature, hackers have found ways to force other people to get softbanned while somehow remaining safe themselves. this includes the most recent one which even has easy anticheat making GBS threads up the game’s performance on PC. Apparently they’ve had ways to do this without even requiring you to pick up an item, they can just do poo poo to you the instant they connect to you (which for glitch thread content happened during this dark souls 3 challenge because he had to be online to do a particular glitch). presumably not a problem on consoles but the PC versions have the worst hacker issues of any online game I’ve played. I remember back in dark souls 2 I had to start backing up my save after an illegally high-level hacker invaded me and suicided, which gave me a huge number of souls and hosed up my save’s soul memory, which affects who you can be matched with online.

I also have genuinely given DS1 a few tries and just keep bouncing off it.

If you didn't like DS1 you probably won't like Elden Ring but it might be worth a shot. Sometimes it takes a couple games before it clicks for people.

On the flipside if you do all the optional content you'll probably end up overleveled for where the game expects you to be on the critical path. As always that won't mean you won't struggle, but it can give you an edge.

As always that won't mean you won't struggle, but it can give you an edge. You can't really be "overlevelled" in Elden Ring. Your offense can get to the point where generic enemies go down in three blows pretty consistently, but even so the game leaves some roadblocks that are insane walls of hit points even with maxed stats and strongest weapons, and your own survivability is never really extreme. You mostly just go from "die in one shot" to "die in three shots" against bosses when you level survivability and armor seems largely irrelevant in these calculations, and the end-game bosses still require tiresome amounts of damage to put down even with a completely maxed offense. Which is part of why frost and blood procs, which seem to do percentage damage rather than flat damage, are some of the best investments in the game.

Armor is meaningful, but the stuff that goes in your actual armor slots are very weak compared to the other sources. You can get pretty hefty survivability by stacking the damage resistance talisman of the appropriate element with the incantations that buff damage resistance. If you want to get better defenses, don't level endurance, level faith until you can cast the buffs. e:content

The ending credits in Fallout New Vegas are created by the game teleporting your character to a small room and facing a screen on to which the credits are projected. You cannot move. The narration is actually an NPC standing beside you speaking. With mods you can break free and move around and see it.
