Epic High Five posted:The correct approach is to have communication be a part of it but you can only select from a list of possible messages. This could be on a wheel in combat, and for anything outside of combat like outfit recruitment or organizing it can be a more expansive Souls-like system. A well designed multiplayer game shouldn't have boxes for text input after the password. the souls system of everything being But Hole? lmao what the hell.

If you're making a crafting game and you don't put in a thing that autopulls materials from chests gently caress you. If you're worried for balance reasons make it a character upgrade you get about 30% of the way through the game. Having to craft something and needing to run between your item storage places to do it is a war crime. Looking at you Subnautica!!!! quote="Cuttlefush" post="533332685"] it is cool. drones are majestic. thye should never have weapons put on them. feel sad every time i realize how many people played subnautica and probably never hosed around with prawn suit dual grapples enoug to realize you can be spiderman and fly around the map like a surf map https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nY1ts_Qvqg this is peak subnautica and so many people probably never got to do it [/quote] I did this and it ruled, I didn't even bother building the cyclops. I was in for a rude surprise at the end of the game when I needed to build the loving thing to get an upgrade off the upgrade station on the ship for the rocket

Playing as the aliens ruled because when you dropped out of a vent and got a headshot on someone, sometimes all the marines would panic and scatter. Being the gorge was also a lot of fun because the gorges were very cute and you'd frequently be cooperating with another gorge so you're both just waddling around fatly spitting on things

Mr. Sharps posted:last time I used voice chat I was using an insanely sensitive field recording mic setup so everybody could hear every tiny little sound in my apartment. open mic, chow down on chips, watch everybody freak out lol One time I was playing War Zone with 3 friends and my mic turned on for some reason (I normally use push to talk) when I was getting super mad about the game running like poo poo*. So it sounded like I just suddenly went "god dammit, loving piece of poo poo." One guy goes "uhh, everything okay there." Very embarrassing. * this was seemingly addressed when they changed to the new map a while back, which I think also involved changing the engine or something, but before that the game ran like complete poo poo despite my PC being good. Constant stuttering and drops to like 10fps, it was downright unplayable

skooma512 posted:MW19 would CTD all the time until I upgraded my processor from a 2011 Sandy Bridge to Ryzen 3600. It was probably some sort of CPU thing (since it resembles other CPU-related issues I've had, like the one below), though I never figured out what. I think I had a 8600k at the time. I had similar issues with Persona 5 Strikers on PC recently (though with my current 12th generation intel CPU), but was able to address that using Project Lasso. I don't know what less "savvy" people would do, since it was basically unplayable until I used Project Lasso to disable and then reenable hyperthreading (no idea why this made a difference, but I found it online and it worked perfectly). Before the fix there was constant heavy stuttering, where it would flat-out freeze up for several seconds at a time when doing things like accessing menus. Doing the aforementioned Project Lasso fix instantly made it run perfectly at a smooth 120fps (I use some mod that lets it run at 120, normally it's capped at 60 - the stuttering happened regardless of whether I used the mod though, so it wasn't the cause).

I never feel more alienated from the mainstream than when I see how many people buy GTA games. Hey kids? Wanna play a 150 hour long Scorsese movie penned by a bunch of West Coast techie dullards with room temperature iqs? Do you crave mediocre car races and barely serviceable third person shooting action? WELL I HAVE THE GAME FOR YOU

GTA on the ps2 was an insane mind bending experience walking around the beautiful detailed world with all of its amazing touches and while that feeling will never be reproduced in the same way it was in the transition to that era I think the more recent GTA games still retain enough leftover novelty to be fun enough to play for fifty or so hours and never beat

I thought it was completely amazing when you could fly around when turning into the bee in Banjo Kazooie. The first time I played X-Wing vs TIE-Fighter on my family's new computer was also completely amazing to me for the same reason. This is only slightly related, but thinking of the N64 reminded me of one of my favorite and most-played games on it - Diddy Kong Racing. I remember thinking it was *way* better than Mario Kart (and I was correct to think this).
