The typical Souls game has the hard critical path and the optional harder critical paths, but Elden Ring is a gigantic open world game where any time you get stuck on a boss you can just wander off to explore something else, which is effectively grinding for souls without the tedium of the previous games.

Im_Special posted:Real smart of Valve to update this back-end stuff without a single word (typical), and moments before a big Sale too! I imagine there might be a few pissed off people who are now getting a 15 day lock-down on their account if they were needing to change methods because of this sudden change. Those aren't public APIs, Valve can change them whenever they feel like because nobody outside of Valve should be using them.

The purpose of ML is intellectual property theft on a massive scale, with the hope of moving so fast and breaking so many things that they can set a legal precedent that their labor theft is legal. Anyone who tells you otherwise is an idiot, a bootlicker, or a liar. (Or all of the above!)

The Witness isn't anywhere near as difficult as The Talos Principle (or Baba is You or Snakebird or basically any other puzzle game). (Unless you count the optional post-game time-limited portion, which is great.)

repiv posted:i should have been more specific, i meant the shitload of BG3 players uploading a shitload of enormous save files might be overloading steams backend and making it flaky in general As far as I can tell, the Steam backend tells the client which of Azure/Amazon/Google to connect to, sends them the bucket ID and authentication tokens, and the client uploads to the cloud provider directly.

Venuz Patrol posted:the current dominant trend in business management across all sectors is to fire all permanent employees and use fleets of disposable contractors for all work instead. When this concept is applied to game development, you end up with a lot of people who are brought in to design or build specific systems, but nobody with the long-term knowhow to understand how everything fits together and design things to do so smoothly. hence: lots of feature rich games that run like poo poo And all games are built on Unreal now, a large complicated engine that these contractors are all familiar with on the surface level but that nobody has the time or expertise to customize or optimize for their specific use-case.

John Murdoch posted:- Since you're playing a Big Daddy, instead of doing the kill Big Daddy -> save/harvest Little Sister routine, now there's an extra step where you have to watch over her gathering ADAM while Splicers attack. Most people hate this, though I will say a good deal of the arsenal in 2 allows for laying down traps and supports the concept of point defense really well, so YMMV. This is the whole reason to play the game IMO, you're scouting the entire level, collecting resources and picking the point which is the most defensible, then you're using those resources to build your fortress and then you play a little horde mode against a bunch of splicers.

And the currency changes happened early enough to not interfere with any Steam sales, unless you happened to be an incompetent indie developer who set your prices wrong and then didn't attempt to fix them until after it was too late.

Lister posted:The winter sale trailer shows a few of the nominees for the steam awards. Red Dead 2 gets on the list for Labor of Love despite getting nothing beyond two maintenance patches for over a year. The steam userbase brain trust has done it again. This is what simple majorities give you. Clearly Valve should adopt a voting method that satisfies the Condorcet criterion when possible.
