Our game is not an auto-runner. Yes, our characters do always run automatically, but,

Know why it's called an auto-runner? Because when you see the devs use that phrase to describe it you automatically run away

You owe it to yourself try to do it by yourself first and then summon if you don't succeed. Summoning people sight unseen is just depriving yourself of any sense of discovery.

edit: Also regarding the cuphead thing, if you try something more than a couple times and see that it's clearly not working but continue to do it the same way anyway, maybe the problem's not with the game

"The right way to play" and "the intended way to play" are pretty different. There is no objectively correct way to play, but I can say with relative confidence that you are not meant to steamroll your way through your first blind playthrough with bodyguards who already know what they're doing.

edit: And if that's how you wanna play then that's fine, but "so you're saying I'm playing wrong" is a pretty crappy defense

Jay Rust posted:

How do you figure what the intended way to play is? They don't gate summons behind deaths.

It's sorta common sense? Summoning is basically a way to choose your difficulty, and the default is not having any or even having the ability to summon. You don't start as human or with the white soapstones in any of the souls games (or Demon's Souls), save for 2 where becoming human is part of the tutorial.

You do start in a covenant that makes it easier to summon allies, tho, and you run into the Jolly Cooperation guy super early.

That's a fair point. But I do think the games are very obviously geared toward single player combat, even in DS3 where you're fighting groups more often than one-on-one. The AI only focuses on one person at a time.

In non pewdiepie news, I am psyched for No More Heroes: Travis Strikes Again, so I decided to turn one of my favorite songs from the series into a playable GH3 custom! Hell yeah!!

Also in doing this I learned that Akira Yamaoka produced the soundtracks for No More Heroes 2 and Shadows of the Damned. Which is a cool fact I didn't know.

That is clearly WoR and even uses mechanics that aren't even in GH3. :colbert:


Also do people really still actually care about Guitar Hero/Rock Band, like at all? I haven't heard basically anything about 'em at all from like anyone anywhere in almost a decade. Genuinely curious there.

It's not! It's Guitar Hero 3 with the GH3+ mod!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPPnZEVXg9w

And yes, people still care, streams of the game in particular pull in hundreds of viewers at a time. But nobody wants a new GH or Rock Band game because custom songs exist in the thousands, which is why GH Live was a failure and Rock Band 4 released pretty much unfinished.

I agree that campo santo shouldn't have the right to take down the videos (unrelated ones at that) because it'd establish the same legal precedent that the persona publishers think actually exists and were trying to hide behind with their 'don't post vids of our game' thing (it currently does not). The video where he actually says the slur should be reported and removed because there already are rules in place saying you can't do that kind of thing.

edit: And I guess their counterargument to that would be that the video represents them because it's of their game but I don't agree, pewdiepie's videos are very much more about the personality than the game as are the vast majority of non five billion subscriber let's plays (including mine!)

at the same time though dont game devs have a right to decide their public image. like if someone with ten million subscribers uploaded a video of them playing super mario and then the rest of their videos were them saying that the jews did 9/11 that'd cause association

It's fair enough that they wouldn't want to be associated with noted racist pewdiepie, I can understand that, but I think it would be a very different case and they would have ground to stand on if he had actually said the stuff on a video of one of their games. At that point I think it'd be within their rights to take it down because it's their property and he violated pre-existing rules by saying slurs and poo poo. But imo the difference lies in their lack of direct involvement.

You could argue that he himself is tainted by his many actions and so even if he doesn't do anything in the firewatch video just having a firewatch video associates them and implies a sort of agreement or endorsement by them.

But I think its pretty clear this was punitive on the firewatch devs' part.

But I think that's okay?

That's freedom isn't it? That's America. :911: If you are willing to give up some profit in order to prevent somebody who you think is vile from making profit, that's your prerogative.

imo just speaking up against him is enough to confirm the opposite and the videos are months-to-years old so legally removing them is more of a sentimental victory than something that'll have an actual effect, but it's whatever. They shouldn't, but if it happens then it happens and the aforementioned gray area shifts more toward companies than the end user in the grand scheme- which is fine because it already is pretty slanted in their favor, drop in the bucket etc

Unfortunately he chose not to use a save file and has forgotten the proper cheat code to enter the level select- the cheat in question of course being entering 09 11 20 01 in the sound test. That said, he is still the owner of the chaos emeralds and surely Miles "Tails" Prower has tricked the foolish president Donald "Ivo" Trump with fake emeralds that are useless.

Darkest Dungeon does that for me. Every single time I start a new game I can't stop until I'm literally falling asleep.

Other games in the past that have done this : Heroes of Might and Magic 2/3, Civilization 2/3/5

Darkest Dungeon is also doing that for me to the extent that I'm streaming it right now!!

I took interest in that kind of thing when I was younger for a while. Books and puzzle games that led to real world locations, some focused on perspectives or points of view and things like that. I never got into it enough to actually seek these places out and plus I was just a teen at the time, so it's not like I could hike to socal just to see the Three Converging Points of the Anchor of the Lost Isles or whathaveyou... but I had this really deep interest in puzzles and other stuff like that which turned a riddle in a book into a real world thing.
