I mean to an extent I do agree, but that's also part of the risk of running your own proprietary engine. It's harder to find people who can un-gently caress your spaghetti. Same thing for like Bethesda with Gamebyro / Creation engine.

Not every programmer knows every single best practice of all the tools they're expected to work with. But speaking of tools, apparently Baldur's Gate 3 just had a broken buggy compile on one of their patches... the compiler itself bugged out unbeknownst. In theory the release should have gone through more QA, but 1. it would have taken longer when people are slavering and angry for it., 2., the glitch was exceptionally rare.

Death stranding was the most impressive PC port I’ve played. I played the day it came out and literally everything worked from the getgo with good performance, zero bugs/crashes/weird technical issues, it recognized my DS4 with correct icons out of the box, it was the most “plug it in and go” experience for a PC game of that size I can think of. If kojima productions did that port themselves then maybe they should be a fulltime porting company, or porter if you will

Also Dark Souls: PTDE was a dogshit PC version but it was pretty solid at being a way to literally just play the exact PS3 version on your computer. It sure ran better than it did on consoles.

Owl Inspector posted:Speaking of magic cops, has anyone here gotten to play payday 3? how’s it looking? I haven't played it, but have been following it pretty closely since they started doing betas a couple weeks ago. It doesn't look much different, in fact you'll see a lot of people saying it looks the same/like payday 2.5, but they have made a lot of smart gameplay changes that will make the game more fun to play. The biggest one being that it's not automatically "go loud" time when one person gets spotted. There's varying states of alert; much like in the new Hitman games, if you get caught in an off limits area someone will probably escort you out and you remain in casing mode where you can still hack stuff and sneak around. It'll be day one on Gamepass and has cross platform support so myself and my friends will already be on board without having to buy it outright which is nice. I think if you played and enjoyed Payday 2 this will be more of a good thing. If you didn't like Payday 2 I don't think this will convert you.

Owl Inspector posted:Speaking of magic cops, has anyone here gotten to play payday 3? how’s it looking? The biggest common consensus I've heard about the game is that it is leaning towards the feel of Payday 1 or launch Payday 2. As in, it is a much slower, harder and tactical experience where you have to use cover and manage your resources and so on. Quite the divergence from current Payday 2 which feels more like some sort of endgame Diablo or PoE rift where you're bunny-hopping around, effortlessly moving down an absolute tidal wave of cops with your laser-accurate insta-reload super guns with so much passive ammo/health regen from your perks you don't even need ammo/doctor bags. Some people like a return to hardcore basics, some miss the unique spice that current Payday 2 had with so much wacky build variety. Another common consensus is that stealth seemed to have been reworked greatly: casing mode has a lot more freedom, you can get caught but not immediately sound the alarm and instead get escorted out, and alarms don't always reduce all your work to zero.

That actually sounds kinda cool, I am glad it plays differently. Payday 2 is still there to do some superhero poo poo against the elemental plane of cops.

I'm probably in a superminority on this but I liked how payday 2 felt in its early days when individual cops could be a real threat, going out into the street during an assault was actually scary, and positioning/movement was more considered instead of the cop-themed diablo game you described. Felt like the devs settled into this pattern where they were afraid to ever nerf anything on the player side because their horrible community would crucify them over it, so they only ever buffed players, then buffed cops in response to keep the challenge level, buffed players some more, buffed cops and so on until the game was completely unrecognizable from how it started. not that overkill difficulty wasn't over the top and ridiculous from the start, but anytime I tune back into a stream of payday 2 to see what changed since I quit, it's incomprehensible by comparison and only has the vaguest aesthetic link to the "heist movie shootout" feel that it started as. surprised they went in the other direction for 3 but not complaining!

The game did eventually have its various hiccups in balance and nerfs coming down the line. The power creep seemed to have more to do with selling DLC combined with a confusion about how to actually design and balance a map or a specific difficulty level like, at all. In the worst days of it the highest difficulty was choking the engine with more enemies than it could actually handle, leading to their AI being bottlenecked. With the seeming compensation being to just make those enemies kill you dead in a couple of shots from any distance.

Not sure what the best place to ask this is but maybe the controller users here can help: some months ago my dualsense's right stick got a weird issue where it doesn't send a "full" input to the right. when pointing the stick in that direction it will bounce around how far it thinks the stick is actually being pushed, and at one certain point it only ever thinks the stick is being pushed halfway at most (so I can only turn the camera to the right in Returnal at half speed, unless I tilt the stick a bit diagonally). I don't think this is the same as stick drift, although it does seem to have a small amount of that. Here's a crappy recording of what it's telling steam when I slowly rotate the stick in a full circle: https://i.imgur.com/pwIfFYS.mp4 what might the issue be and do I have any hope of fixing it with just basic tools? The controller is fine otherwise and games are still sort of playable with the issue so I'd prefer not to have to buy another one just because of this, but it's really annoying.

Yeah, I'm quite looking forward to going back to the original intention and think it's going to be a lot of fun. I can understand some people's worries that it will become too generic and offer less replayability/experimentation by losing all of the wacky stuff, but I had plenty of fun with Payday 1 and Payday 2 in its early days so I think it'll be fine, at least for me. It was very amusing to watch long-time heisters playing the beta suddenly realize that 'hard' mode is now actually hard! And hey, even if it does turn out to be bad or whatever, it's on gamepass so you can always just try it out. The Lone Badger posted:Warframe did the same thing. Oh boy, did it ever. Little recreation of my early days: Loki: "Hey, new frame! Nice to meet you!" Nova: "Glad to be part of the squad! I may be new, but I hope I can measure up against you original frames!" Loki: "Heh, good luck with that! My ultimate ability allows me to disarm all opponents in a 20 meter radius: they don't die, but they're forced to engage me in melee combat. What's your ultimate?" Nova: "I can prime enemies all around me in a 40 meter radius with antimatter that makes them be slowed and take double-damage. Upon death, they explode and prime enemies around them, usually causing a chain reaction of cascading explosions that can wipe an entire map in one fell swoop." Loki: "..." I assume it got more ridiculous from there. Did they ever reign it in or did they just keep going?

There's so many different ways to trivialize challenge in Warframe that the difference between the best and worst frames is how much effort it might take to get to that point. And the difference is not very large.
