I've seen some posts in the TSF about recovering bad Shadowplay recordings, if you mean lost in the sense of corrupted, as opposed to lost in the sense of "didn't bother recording when I told it to," another thing it likes to do. every time I hear about a shadowplay update I'm glad I locked my updates folder to read-only so it'll never update from my current, perfectly functional, version until and unless I want to. which, given the stories, I don't! Rorahusky posted:Eh, The Force Awakens was decent, but the whole subplot about Starkiller Station was easily the weakest part of the film. It probably wouldn't have taken much of a rewrite to remove that entire thing from the film and focus the plot more on the 'Find out what happened to Luke' thread that made up the main story. wouldn't be a remake of ANH, so no, can't get rid of it.  Also I'd argue the main story of TFA is torch-passing (and, y'know, trying to restart the movie franchise), so while finding Luke was the plot device that got it going, you're kidding if you don't think Rey and Finn weren't the main story characters. As a direct ANH analogue, the main story of ANH was not finding Obi-wan, it was passing the torch to Luke, Leia, and Han. It's not a perfect analogy, but starting a Star Wars trilogy with the older generation moving aside so the younger one takes the fore is, well, right out of ANH. Cythereal posted:The new gunslinger and sniper abilities for Eternal Throne were revealed today. Gunslingers graduate from kicking someone in the groin to shooting them there instead. Snipers just shoot an electrical dart thing from their wrist. I dunno how Quinine is going to handle that. He's been booting people in the groin for so long, how will he ever move to the advanced tier of shooting them? ...didn't that get made fun of, way back when?

Dolash posted:It's kind of neat the way the fleet always shows up in those orderly little lines and formations. Very distinctive Based on this and the fact that you immediately get boarded, let me say PTN's reference to LOGH was directly on-target so far

Dolash posted:Actually taking another look at the fleet just makes me think of Space Invaders - if you came at them from the right angle you'd only have to deal with the leading edge of ships at a time. I'm just going to put in a bet now that literally nobody ever does this. In LOGH, you actually can't (everyone: watch LOGH) but in Star Wars, nobody does because it'd ask too many awkward questions.

Dolash: fair enough about not getting into it; logh is a really, really slow burn. It takes some investment to get into it - and that's a lot of time to keep watching something hoping you start to like it more later. As for melee weapons, boarding capital ships, and swashbuckling, well, those guys got introduced in episode 6  PoptartsNinja posted:Knights of the Fallen Empire Update 2: Biff the Understudy  nicely done. My favorite character.

PoptartsNinja posted:Having a reactive villain isn't bad, provided they surround themselves with competent people to give their threat some actual weight and/or have someone proactive on their side to be a threat on their behalf. I agree with you. The idea of getting to fight your nemesis before the Inevitable Final Showdown isn't inherently bad, but cutscene ruling you to lose after you mechanically win the fight? Awful. Just as bad as an automatically unwinnable fight, really. By removing any consequences from player action you remove any reason to care at all unless you handle it very, very carefully. but take heart, bioware keeps making the same mistake!  e: I think they did it right once - Jade Empire has a good one. Every other instance I can think of is bad or really bad. Thessia, anyone? Psion fucked around with this message at 00:08 on Apr 25, 2017 |

I just have to ask: is Koth supposed to be likeable? At all? I mean even if you strip out PTN's italicized snark, he's just a scrub. Am I missing something?

PoptartsNinja posted:He's Jacob with Religion instead of Daddy Issues. Which is unfortunate, because Jacob's Daddy Issues were the only time BioWare did the Daddy Issues plot well. I agree with that. The joke about the SSV Normandy being the SSV Daddy Issues...isn't a joke. But Jacob's was alright. I think he also has the misfortune of being a more-or-less competent and almost well adjusted person in a game full of bigger-than-life characters. And while I appreciated the fact that he just moved on with his life from ME2->3, I know a whole lot of people didn't. How dare this character have agency! But Koth ...I'd rather take the one-note assassin droid over this guy. Psion fucked around with this message at 01:47 on May 3, 2017 |

There was no vote. No meetings, no debates. It’s simply the way it is. The way it has been since the day you arrived.
