It is like Assassin's Creed but different enough and with good combat, the map is big but not Odyssey or even Valhalla big. Never played the DLC...

Foul Fowl posted:i think they don't understand at all why baldur's gate 3, elden ring, tekken 8, metroid dread, etc. were lauded and celebrated and sold extremely well through word of mouth (idk about metroid but i assume it sold well). this was never more clear than with elden ring, which largely contradicts all modern AAA (derogatory) design sensibilities and caused a lot of, like, UX designers for lovely ubisoft games to melt down. and instead of reflecting on themselves, they blamed the gamers. I think it's also the culture war™ heating up, with Trump, #MeToo, BLM, etc. You have a vocal but ultimately small group of actual bigots who hate on these releases for stupid reasons, and then the executives and/or devs jump on that to claim that the poor reception of their product is solely due to the 'toxic fandom'. No, you just made a mediocre game. In Baldur's Gate 3 half the characters are in gay relationships, a handful of homophobes have loudly complained about this, but no one else cares because the game is actually good, a lot of love was put into it, and they're not constantly trying to bilk you out of more of your money with scummily priced microtransactions, lootboxes, season passes, and so on. I feel bad for all the people losing their jobs right now, but not for some of these companies that are starting to struggle.

Anybody know if the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. ports for Xbox/PS4 are coming to Steam? I own the first, but gently caress me if I wouldn't double dip for some QoL updates for controller etc

Slight correction that the two devs who (famously, there might have been others) blew up were from the Horizon studio, which is pretty funny given that they were complaining about UI with how Horizon plays. Though maybe they wouldn't have had those meltdowns if literally every release of a Horizon game, on consoles and PC, hadn't been directly competing with better RPGs.

GoT is basically a way better designed AC game, it's just way more sophiscated whether it's the types of enemies, combat design there is clear rock-paper-scissor, the minimalistic ui. Like it's one of the best designed games in terms of applying in game markers to direct the player. A must recommend for all PC players for me. I won't be getting it since I already got it but this would have been my most requested Playstation exclusive after Bloodborne + Demon Souls.

This makes it sound like the priority was bringing the games to consoles, not to update them for existing PC players. GSC Game World's own YT trailer makes no mention of PC. Stalker 2 is coming to Xbox later this year so it makes sense that they'd adapt whatever control scheme they already have developed for that game.

I've started playing The Hong Kong Massacre, an OK Hotline Miamilike. It's got the John Woo look down pat, and you can slide and dive and gun down gangsters in slow motion, but it's definitely not as polished or well thought out as HM and the fact that it's entirely ranged combat makes it closer to HM2. It also has a dumb system wherein you earn upgrade points by NOT using its bullet time system and by only hitting enemies with your shots, which misses the whole point of being a wannabe Hard Boiled. The whole weapon upgrade thing also means that there are only four guns in the entire game, and if you're dumping points into just one or two of them, you're less likely to pick up and improvise with what you get from killing mooks. Anyway, it got me thinking: did any of those big Hotline Miami mods ever come out? I remember one in particular that died due to teenaged modder drama lol.

Weapon swap, leaning, low crouching, fire rate, UBGLs, anomaly detector, PDA, multiple quick meds, multiple quick items. It's not insurmountable but it's probably a really unpleasant radial menu or something.

A radial menu, or maybe the d pad does 12 things based on whether you are, or are not, holding down bumpers? Or maybe you just don't lean! The degrees of crouching can just map to a crouch button and it'll be like a motorcycle transmission, it just steps up or down one at a time.

Degrees of crouching: hold a crouch button and press up/down on the d-pad. I feel like I've played a game that's done that, actually.

You could probably get away with just a Destiny cursor and maybe some ability radials or something like the XIV system but I assume they went further than that?

The controller radial menu stuff in BG3 is alright but a friend I played the game in co-op with switched to KB+M at the very last part of the game and was like "holy poo poo I had no idea how much better this is with PC controls"

Bg3 has a truly bewildering series of radial menus, from the thirty seconds I tried using a controller. It works, and works well, but I'm old and frightened of new things so I didn't keep using it. I hear BG1 is actually quite nice on the switch.

They can't understand that a GaaS Hogwarts wouldn't have been as popular. IDKS about what they teach people who study economics or business, but they don't actually seem to be any good at it? Or maybe these are just the idiots and the actually good people are quietly increasing the wealth of the 1%.
