Battle(non)sense | Chris

12 years after #BF4's release, it’s hard to overstate my disappointment with what EA and BF Studios delivered with #BF6’s return to the modern era. Failing to learn from past missteps and deliver a cohesive experience, it may be the final straw that kills my love for @Battlefield

@SgtDangerCow We have long reached the point where nothing in Battlefield has any meaning at all - especially player stats.

Taking out infantry or vehicles in an aircraft used to mean something. Now it’s just a walk in the park.

I still cannot believe this is a video game! This indie developer is making an intergalactic 2 player co-op title set in a retro anime world. It's called Orbitals, will you play this?

@GhostGamingG @venom0804 even more agile? that thing already behaved like a 250g high-speed-racing-drone with hard-baked-in flight assists. if true I am not a fan. :(

@venom0804 better, feels more agile now

Did they change the attack heli handling or am I just nuts?

I wanted to run the London Marathon but training takes too long and is too hard as a pudgy 47yo woman, so I got an Uber to the finish line. It's not fair that athletic people get to gatekeep long-distance running. I'm still a Marathon runner! This is what AI 'writers' sound like

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End was released 10 years ago today on May 10, 2016! A huge thanks to every fan who has experienced this momentous Nathan Drake adventure. ⛰️🏴‍☠️

Guerilla Games’ co-founder and the former technical director of Epic Games says he’s building a new game engine that will offer a ‘European alternative’ to American tech like Unreal and Unity. vgc.news/news/guerilla-…

The Adama Maneuver in Battlestar Galactica is one of the coolest sci-fi TV moments. Dropping a battleship through a planet’s atmosphere for a midair fighter launch was already insane on paper, then the show somehow made it feel grounded & epic all at once.

To reduce complexity, lower the skill floor and have a narrow skill gap. This has been applied to all areas of #BF6 in an effort to appeal to a specific playerbase.

This is what "soul in the art" actually looks like. Not a prompt. @xuanfengbowen's Hoshimi Miyabi animation sequence Every keyframe. Every timing adjustment. Every layer of thought that went into making her move like *that* 🔥 #ZZZero #HoshimiMiyabi #Blender3D #B3D #AnimeArt #3DAnimation #CharacterAnimation #ZenlessZoneZero #BlenderHub #CraftMatters

People who say gaming feels monotonous haven’t touched indie games. That’s where the imagination hits. Mixtape already starting off real nice.

Our COO sent me a Slack: “Laptop is dead, nothing works, fix ASAP.” I checked the monitoring tool. His battery was at 1% and the charger wasn’t plugged in. I could’ve just messaged: “Plug it in.” Instead I opened a ticket, categorized it as a Severity 2 Power Incident. Asked him for screenshots of the problem. He sent a photo of a black screen. I scheduled a remote session for 30 minutes later “to run diagnostics.” At minute 29 I told him to verify his power source as Step 1 of the troubleshooting script. He plugged it in. Laptop turned on. I documented the resolution as “User Education: Introduced to Concept of Electricity.” The ticket remains a permanent part of his audit trail. For “trend analysis.”

This checks out...

Someone re-edited the DIE HARD trailer with bloopers from the movie 😂 internet nonsense is my favorite

Hello hello! I was the 3D Character Artist for Vendetta in Overwatch and I'm excited to finally share some of her model work. She was a true joy to work on and I cannot sing enough praise for the amazing team that helped to bring her to life. 🖤🐺❤️ Artstation project below! 🔽

@DooM49 The low TTK and stupidly easy to control gunmechanics are the result of EA going after CoD players - which has been their target audience for a long time now, it just peaked in BF6 with how hard they went after them.

TTK/TTD issues stemmed from BFV when they removed the server browser in Battlefield. This lead to needing to satisfy both hardcore/core audience. Just does not work. Now players camp cause 2/3 hits = ez kill. Rewards low skill. Hardcore likes fast ttk...
