Real hurthling! posted:cyberpunks plot makes no sense to me from a foundational perspective cause its like so worried about poo poo from 50 years ago its like they the ultimate boomer premise but in the wrong form of media. that was 100% on CDPR btw one of the things that's really neat about cyberpunk is that it has had a whole bunch of editions and none of them after CP2020 take place in the same 'canon': cybergeneration, cyberpunk v3 and cyberpunk red all have completely different histories and completely different worlds after 2020, and none of those take place in the same world as cp2077 or edgerunners presented with the opportunity of 50 years of history to write into basically whatever they want (cybergen involved a nanite plague that turned tweens who didn't die to it into superheroes and involved the ongoing genocide of children for being children and in v3 there was never a blackwall and instead AIs made any use of computers lethally dangerous and arasaka released a bioweapon that destroyed paper; the ensuing inability to maintain bureaucracies of any sort destroyed the very concept of modern states) they completely failed to come up with anything and so just came up with the end of history projected forward, and doubled down on fukuyama by adapting his perspective of transhumanism (that body modification is an assault on an ephemeral human essence and those who do so can rightly and justly be murdered and exploited at whim; thus cyberpsychosis and the entire design of maelstrom) as well Lostconfused posted:Cyberpunk's story is personal, it's about death and what you leave behind after death, a legacy. there is also this though, when the story is focusing on you the player as a terminal patient it hits real loving hard atelier morgan has issued a correction as of 03:31 on Oct 9, 2023 |

Lostconfused posted:2077 isn't end of history. safely offscreen its not (and RTG is working on another cyberpunk version for Edgerunners that'll fill out the timeline and i'm sure make it a hell of a lot more interesting) but the game itself seemed to me to be about how night city (specifically) has been basically unchanged for fifty years. really an impression thing, and part of why the game's setting felt uninspired to me (even contained to night city all the other cyberpunk editions are more interesting; red's NC as an almost apocalyptic/wartime city where things like 'can exchange currency for goods and services' or 'have a vehicle' or 'have a home beyond a freight container left behind when all global trade ended' are all Central Qualities you have to pick a specific character class to access is wildly interesting by comparison and it came out alongside the game)

Whirling posted:beat Signalis again. wonderful game, I absolutely adore the artistry on display with the environments and character designs, and I love that every character and story element can be interpreted in wildly different ways from what I've read in discussions here. however the devs (both west germans, to my understanding of things) appear to hate the GDR of all things, which is very confusing. from what I understand as a dipshit American, the worst the GDR did was have the Stasi harass you if you pissed off the state in some way, which is really quaint compared to the poo poo the FBI and CIA got up to in a "free" country. german liberals tend towards the most deranged sort of liberal, and are especially unwilling to confront the whole thing where west germany and nato was just run by the nazis

loquacius posted:I liked her character a lot because she's a demonstration of how even the system's chosen "winners" are still imprisoned by it, just in a gilded cage instead of a spiked one, and of how being an honor student is more about Following The Rules than anything else, but they had to fuckin ruin it by explicitly having her decide to spend her life trying to Change The System From Within even though I'm pretty sure that's what got her dad killed it's pretty explicable: atlus has executives

Xaris posted:- Lamplighter lamplighter commits a cardinal sin in that it has a big cast of interesting characters and the more variety in characters you have access to the more interesting options you have in the tactical gameplay, but the incentive structure of the strategic gameplay is set against you getting more than the practical minimum number and using one good combo over and over, so i ended up checking out most of the way through

smarxist posted:Are you supposed to wait until you pop a few groves open in AtS before picking your starter buildings? at the start of a town i only really pick options that let me be less dependent on the makeshift workshop. barring some really weird rolls you're always going to need planks/bricks/fabric in large enough quantities that you want a building to make them it'd have to be one weird confluence of factors for me not to windmall slam lumber mill if i see it in the first building choice

turn off the TV posted:no point in picking until you open a glade or two though since they might have a building that can make that crap in them i usually still slam pick the good options early because the first glades are usually too close to build another hearth in so labor efficiency is crap compared to building something right next to the main warehouse/hearth and that's exactly what i don't want for building resources i want to be able to have high throughput of and ofc the first year is when labor is most available and often goes wasted (or i guess it does for me since i don't really put down more than two woodcutter posts and always grab extra dudes if i can; maybe that's bad strategy eventually i'm not anywhere near effortlessly beating max prestige or anything), i'd rather have those beaver-hours being used even if it means risking the small chance i have to dismantle rather than repair a building later

Xaris posted:nothing wrong with coaching, but i do think there's a big difference in hands-on versus virtual. for example, I was doing pottery classes at a studio during the pandemic for a year just to get started in wtf should i be doing, but i eventually reached place where it's like ok cool i got the idea, now i just need to develop the muscles and memory where is purely practice, no amount of classes will help further that and went on my merry way afterwards to gitgud myself. video game coaching works kinda the inverse where an fps/moba/fighting game coach is largely useless to someone unless they already have the perfect flick shooting/micro/execution as a prerequisite, and then the coach can teach maps, mindset, matchups, strategy etc because yeah you can't teach someone the gitgud part

grate deceiver posted:I like the soldier lady and one of the tier-2 classes has a heroic that gives her an extra free attack until end of combat, but so far I haven't found a ranged weapon for her that could compete with a two-handed melee weapon on a warrior. But she's great for cleaning up trash mobs. once she makes it to arch-militant she gets a damage steroid that stacks with 'number of actions taken' (versatility not only increases damage directly after 4 stacks, but the massive ballistic skill boost will rapidly mean she automatically crits every shot) and another bonus attack per turn with wildfire so the relatively low damage of ranged weapons is not a big deal at all (also arch-militant uniquely gets the ability to use two heroic acts in a combat) she does need one of your officers to have Take Aim! to deal with folks that have 150%+ dodge chances that can't be burned through and you should basically have 2 operatives on the team at all time to Exploit Weakness with enough stacks to deal with 95%+ armor but that's true even with a melee carry in my playthrough instead of using abelard to kill everything his job is to stand in the middle of the formation, get a bonus turn from an officer's seize the initiative start of combat turn to fire Wall of Rockcrete to give everyone temp hp and 50% damage reduction against the first hit so that when enemy bosses go first and use whatever horseshit they have that would oneshot argenta/the whole team before anyone gets a normal turn we just laugh it off instead atelier morgan has issued a correction as of 00:03 on Dec 15, 2023 |

filed six bug reports in a single combat in rogue trader because things get increasingly less tested as you get higher level (at 20th level everybody gets a 5th ap! huge powerspike to keep up with the increasing nastiness! you actually don't get the 5th ap, you just see the bar with a max of 5 ap with one missing when turns start) and later on (mechanical enemies that are supposed to take damage and a massive debuff from pasqal's special ability are instead completely immune to it) so i think i'm done for a bit

Hatebag posted:just finished re8. pretty similar to re7 but slightly better i guess. feel like the extremely sluggish gameplay kinda drags these games down. plus you're shooting guns all the time and none of them handle like actual guns for all the gun fetishism in the games. and for a horror game not very scary, maybe it would have more impact in vr which it seems like the primary design for these new evils resident is. most of the enemy designs were either just some guy or a blob as well. having everything be black goo is pretty dumb because many people see in color resident evil is gun fetishism for airsofters

Stefan Prodan posted:to clarify my opinion on 3, I think that I mean in terms of gameplay all 3 are pretty similar, 5 obviously has the best QOL and UI stuff (apart from the black on white color scheme blinding me at night when I would play it in the dark on a big TV), but I just felt like 3 has a coherent theme about dealing with death and that elevated it a bit above the other two where the plots felt pretty hollow, especially 5 which hints around having some sort of theme about the grownups/authority figures loving everything up but seemed to run away from it at the end 3s theme and story are interesting and stuff was designed around it and also the remake appears to have absolutely beefed how the visual design and mood worked so lmao
