Always spawn with at least 10 blood vials, expanded starting weapon selection for NG+, warp to anywhere from any lamppost are the changes needed to achieve actual perfection.

I haven't tried NG+ in Bloodborne, but in the Dark Souls series this isn't true. Having high stats and fully upgraded weapons absolutely destroys bosses in the first ~2/3 of the game, regardless of the slight extra health and damage it gives them.

Its still the case in BB if not more so.

If you got some numbers I'd probably read them. Last I heard the offer was a 9% wage hike with like a $1000 capped bonus per game based on performance. That was in October though I don't know any more recent details if there are any.

I mean I'm assuming like half of the people who own bulletstorm on steam got it on sale for like $5

it's kind of weird to expect the remake to be free

Many remakes of games that were already available on steam offer at least a discount for owner's of the previous version. Also, high profile remakes like bioshock and skyrim that just came out were given for free to those who already had the old versions.

If you mean that it punishes you for not using stealth then that's not really the case. The scoring system is weighted so heavily on time that you can earn an S rank doing basically anything, as long as you do it fast.

It is a bit counter intuitive, but its overall a decent design for a game with so many options. My favorite is the mission where the easiest way to earn an S rank is to just shoot everything with the helicopter minigun, then leave.

There aren't really that many mobas tbh. There's the good one, the bad one, the third person one, the blizzard one and the new one. Its just that a poo poo load of people play the good one and the bad one, and a bunch more spread out among the rest.

I don't understand why the genre with the most complicated unnecessary bullshit mechanics ever coupled with the worst gaming community in history has produced the most popular and successful games in decades

Its some hosed up rule that if a game is complicated it drives people away, but if its really complicated then people wanna figure it out or something.

Harrow posted:

I really don't get mobas at all, either. Really the only aspect of the genre that appeals to me is that you get to level up and equip a character over the course of a match instead of over the course of weeks. If someone made a game that was basically Diablo, but with like 30-45 minute long, self-contained dungeon runs where you start at level 1 each time, level up quickly and have limited equipment slots, all of that "moba" stuff except it's a Diablo clone instead with co-op PvE instead of being competitive PvP? I think I'd play it.

Its like an easier to play version of the notably dead RTS genre except there are always a bunch of noobs loving up my game.

I still don't understand what it is that is making MOBA's successful in the first place. What do people love about them? I don't understand League of Legends and its appeal. How is something so complex and with such a steep learning curve so popular?

Good mix of skill based and knowledge based checks in the gameplay. I play dota which also happens to have extremely slick art and general presentation which helps too.

Mobas contain too much waiting and boredom, and what I get out of them I could just as well get out of Diablo or a musou game with far less waiting and frustration and microtransactions.

Those games don't offer what you'd get out of a moba at all?

Don't pro gamers have to retire at like 27 because their reaction times get dulled just a hair and they can't keep up with the new generation? I think one of the oldest players is 30. What do you do once you retire from pro gaming? It seems like a profession where you get picked up by a sponser in your teens and I don't think getting a degree is something your coach cares about. So you start pushing 30 and you're off the team, hopefully with a nest egg. What then? Coach? Commentate? Commercials? There's got to be scores of washed up gamers working at local grocery stores by now, forever reliving the gank that lost them the championship and sent him back to Ashtabula.

This is pretty much the same as real sports except instead of being left with a broken and battered body by the end of your career you're just socially stunted and maybe have carpal tunnel.
