the coolest weapons in edf4 are on the mecha suit class but the movement speed is so slow it feels like you basically have to use up 2 of your weapon slots to do the dash-attack-cancel tech if you wanna play any level without getting annoyed at how long it takes to get anywhere. so you only get 2 slots left to play with

any game that has super hd photorealistic faces of real actors is the wrong artstyle anyways. and it probably means the game is gonna have bad AAA storygame sections where it zooms in for a closeup on their very expensive technologically advanced face models and they monologue video-game-writing at you which is even worse except max payne he's cool

Fighting Elegy posted:I agree but I think this doesn't go far enough. They should stop using microphones and voice acting too. Videogames should stop trying to be movies and just use wave generators to make little blips and buzzes instead of trying to ape hollywood. all videogame voice acting should be in monster hunter language

That's not spoilers it's the basic premise of the whole series frieren is an old rear end autistic elf who's lived for thousands of years and it's all about coming back and processing her experiences, retracing her journey and developing basic social skills after the group of friends she saved the world with all died of old age RPATDO_LAMD fucked around with this message at 22:37 on Apr 11, 2024 |

Vermain posted:it's a classic bit of rhetoric where you put two true statements next to eachother ("we met with our partner to discuss the leaks" and "we mutually agreed to cancel the project during the meeting") without directly linking them in any way, creating the implication that A led to B without technically lying about anything. huge scumbag energy radiating off this dude just from that alone sounds like big important ceoman is lying to himself that it's all the drat  journalists' fault too, not just lying to his employees

AngryBooch posted:Jeff's wife Annie Strain posted this unhinged letter after closing another studio in their sham company last week: "the game did not have core features that have emerged as requirements to be competitive in today's hyper aggressive market" so sounds like despite all the weird bits trying to spin this as the fault of AI or kotaku reporting on the CEO's multiple sclerosis (why did she jump right to assuming the article would be about that rather than the game? ) they actually failed because they couldn't find any publisher leeches willing to support a game without live-service or mtx or something.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:The cheating ecosystem seems really fascinating, like I think someone mentioned that streamers will run dual setups so that their cheating information is being fed to a computer that's not the one they're playing on to minimize detection? It's called a Direct Memory Access cheat and afaict it's 100% undetectable (except ofc by watching the replay and subjectively going "hm this guy plays like he can see enemies though walls") Basically you attach a hardware device to your PC that sits between the CPU and RAM and snoops on all the back and forth electric signals, effectively knowing everything stored in RAM. Then it sends all that data over a cable to another computer to process it. There's no software running or anything so there's nothing for an anticheat to detect.

Jay Rust posted:In persona 4 or 5, there's one class where the prof says like "people didn't dream in colour until colour tv was introduced". If that's true (it is) then imagine what 3d tv will bring.....!! Watching too much tv caused people to dream in the context of tv, which was at one time black and white. Likewise nowadays if you play too many videogames all your dreams might be contextualized as games too. Something about dreams is "unreal" enough for the mind to reject comparing them to actual reality and instead jump to other "unreal" experiences we're familiar with. When games and color tv add smell-o-vision, that same group who started dreaming in color again will start dreaming in scent too.

I said come in! posted:Yeah PS2 emulation is really the only way to play the PlayStation 2 era GTA games now. Rockstar hasnt fixed the remasters and doesn't intend to, and buried the original releases for PC and sued anyone who tried to restore them. Even if the old pc versions aren't available legally, surely you can still  them just like you can with the ps2 games?

It doesn't show the game, but you can tell the kid is playing it because he's smashing every button on the controller and moving around erratically to show he's playing the video game. But when he dies, one of the other characters says, "See, you died? That's your blood." he was playing on a haunted cartridge

Khanstant posted:Why is it ugly? Not mentioned yet but the fact that everything is "stringly typed" is a big potential pain in the rear end. The fact that he has to check stuff like self.ability.name == 'Fortune Teller' over and over is just asking for annoying typo-related bugs, since comparing the strings like means mistakes like 'Fortune Ttleler' won't be caught by the compiler and you won't see a problem until runtime. It's also inefficient to do all those string comparisons each time but that doesn't really matter here since he's not writing any kind of performance-critical code. For the most part, unless you're writing a number-crunchy simulation heavy game like noita or dwarf fortress, indie-sized games can get away with real bad inefficient code as long as it's not buggy (which also means making it easy to maintain/modify and keep not-buggy). Yandere simulator was one example of a game that was somehow programmed badly enough for the inefficiencies to really creep in and cause problems. And of course every AAA game has to deal with that crap because they're always trying to push systems to the limit.

haveblue posted:Another famous case of really poor efficiency: some modder managed to reduce the load time of GTA Online by minutes because he noticed they had missed some very basic optimizations in their loading code It wasn't just that they had missed optimizations, they had a bad algorithm that did catastrophic backtracking and ended up taking quadratic time for some simple string processing. So less that they had missed some basic optimizations and more that they had introduced a bad bug that made it way worse than even totally unoptimized code.

Khanstant posted:I looked up Tarkov and I'm pretty surprised. It looked like any military shooting game. I knew it wasn't my thing so I never looked into it but for some reason I could've swore that it was a shooting and scavenging game but from an overhead perspective, mostly black and green, maybe ASCII or ASCII adjacent, and was some combo of zombie apocalypse roguelike and DayZ. Is that something else or did I just make up a game to fill in the blanks? it is a shooting and scavenging game but yeah no overhead/zombie bits. the whole gimmick is that your inventory of guns, body armor, healing items, etc is all persistent between rounds and all costs ingame money to buy. you've gotta make money by looting good poo poo from the maps and getting out alive without other players killing you for your loot, and the better gear you take in the more you're risking since you lose it all if you die.
