I ran a real stiff no powersteering setting (helps feel front wheels) but it was a bit too on the powerful side and the new one keeps like 85% of that feel but makes stuff more controllable/recoverable. went from like 15nm peak to 11nm lol With car setup, all depends on the sim. No sim is accurate, but some are less inaccurate than others. There's also the problem that certain tactics can be abused that would never work irl. Like with rally you can gently caress around with camber and poo poo to give maximal grip, but if you're running an actual rally where the creator doesn't give you free wheels every stage for no reason you'll zero your tires and be driving on ice skates. This is why you should never compare hotlap times with actual race/rally times. You're right that it's way more important to git gud before messing with it, but also certain cars are very hard to drive from the jump so you can shave the edges off with an appropriate setup.

Using AC Valhalla being on gamepass as an excuse to try it on PC. It's a very pretty game in 4k/120fps. Shame its actual environments aren't that great outside of Norway, since it's otherwise a pretty big graphical upgrade over its predecessors.

I think I broke BG3 a bit by killing the druid leader calling refugees parasites on sight. Not gamebreaking but, for example, when I rescued the nearby boy from the harpies he said I should tell a specific kid about it, but that kid has no dialogue options. And the journal on this mission says I should ask another kid about the "dragon's lair" when nobody mentioned this, and also he has no dialogue options. There is a lady lying paralyzed in a storage room who I can't wake up. I don't regret my actions however. I'm not gonna stop doing cool things. One thing that seems intentional is I rescued the girl who tried stealing the idol before attacking the leader, then both her parents got killed in the fighting offscreen and she's either dead or vanished. 10/10. snoremac has issued a correction as of 10:46 on Jan 11, 2024 |

continuing my playthrough of Evil West, there are interesting bits of political commentary that come through in the plot first, the game revolves around a vampire-hunting organization called the Rentier Institute, named after its founder, William Rentier. The player-character is William's son, Jesse. At one point, William is injured, presumably mortally, and a question of succession comes to the fore. Jesse refuses to write-off his father, and one of the side-characters remarks that although the Rentier Institute is supposed to be a bureaucratic organization, as it is funded by the US government, suddenly it turns into a monarchy the moment the handing down of power is involved the other rhetoric that stood out to me was the vampires looking down upon humanity: they regard themselves as higher beings, with humans being knuckle-dragging imbeciles still playing in the dirt. Not only does it reverse the kind of racist viewpoint that white people have towards indigenous peoples (and especially given that this is happening in the 19th century), except this time it's the supernatural beings condescending towards all humanity, but when Jesse asks the big baddie to let some hostages go, the head vampire throws it back at him: mankind has never cared about the multitudes run over by industrialization and colonialism as they stomped across America, why should he care now what happens to these people in a boarded-up church that she's about to set on fire?

Bear Retrieval Unit posted:not sure which attack that is, when he dances and launches fire balls at you? Yeah I think, it's the one where he tosses out like 20 fireballs all in a horizontal line. Half the time I can dodge forward to avoid it, but when I can't there's just no visual tell on what I should've done, and when there was a followup it would either get tossed right in my stupid face it spiked into the ground in front of him for some reason I think I may have just missed that grapple point in my panic lol, I saw it...after I got hit. I assumed it appeared as a reward for those better players who dodged it properly so they could close the gap and punish instead of doing what I did which was roll around at low health and on fire

DOH is like the Bull fights in Sekiro where you realize how important the "parry everything" mindset is. A bunch of his attacks don't seem like they can be parried but they can.

Bear Retrieval Unit posted:for the fireball thong I avoid it by running in a circle around him, mid to short distance. I don't think I ever saw him use it except when he had just ran away and I had to close the gap. His impossible attacks being completely negated by the wonderful fire umbrella made up for it, I suppose in the end "beat him before I ever really figured out that move" is about as close to a best case scenario as I could've hoped for considering how much of an absurd wall he is for people. I really think the "just play him like a Souls boss" is bad advice. He's definitely a Sekiro boss, and the dodge in this game blows. The big mixup isn't that you need to toss what you've learned out, it's that raw aggression needs to be balanced with spacing and positioning to a degree not present in any other fight, where you can and should be insanely in their face at all times figuring out the rhythm of the fight. You can deflect all of his non-fire non-perilous moves but really the only one you ever want to be in a position to have to deal with is the stomp, because if you're seeing the headbutt or dive it means you're in the danger zone and the deflect means you'll stay there.

The fireball line is weird because there’s a specific danger zone where you’re too close to dodge it due to the shorter missile travel time. You actually have to hang back after he creates a gap rather than charge in right away, in case he casts it. The phase 3 version where he lights the ground on fire is similar except it’s insta cast cone shaped so if you’re too FAR the width is too great to dodge it so you also have to be close enough when he makes a gap. I’ve practiced this poo poo a lot bc I did the no-charm boss rush and the only thing I would regularly take damage from on demon was the flame whip ( which you can deflect but still take burn dmg)

The new Prince of Persia metroidvania has a demo out now and there are lots of glowing reviews, including reports that it runs buttery smooth on the Switch. I don't envy them two things though, that it requires the Ubi launcher and that it's $50. Hollow Knight and some others have really set the price that fans of the genre will pay very low, even for a really good game from the Rayman Legends team that's 30-35 hours apparently. Hollow Knight was $15 for christsake, probably the most underpriced game ever. This is also more platforming heavy so maybe that makes it worth it for people? I'm not a big fan of pure platformers but what was even the last decent one released, DK Tropical Freeze?
