Scared we'll lose this 2-party system and all the quality tweets it generates.

@halo2mappack Most dystopia doesn't let the hero save the world, because it's a warning to US, TODAY not to let that world happen. If it can be saved by someone else later, it takes the responsibility off of us. Cyberpunk is a world that happens after we all get the bad ending.
English
A bunch of conservative Poles were placed in charge of rendering a dystopian capitalist hellscape, so of course all the “good” endings have you shrug off the revolutionary spirit to go join the Elites with your flying car in the sky while the evil rape corp is left standing tall

Tell me one bad thing about this game.
English
@henskelion Terrible in RPG. How do they even get feedback on encounter balance, or ability balance, when people can slog through anything by reloading?
English
My hottest gaming take is that I actually dislike PC game save systems where you can just save/load wherever and whenever. It feels sort of like the equivalent of leaving a debug feature in a game, except it’s extremely normalized
English
Dark Souls 1 came out almost 15 years ago, yet this skull is still one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in the game
English
FromSlop's greatest accomplishment has been reintroducing proper game design back into the mainstream: intricate levels, frame data and positioning, and boss fights that are more than shooting giant eyeballs. There was a particularly bleak period when this was all but lost.
TIGO IS A DEAD MAN@TigoODonnell
I think my problem with this assertion is that some of the best games within the past decade used design ideas/tropes that were largely considered outdated and behind the times, with a prime example being one of the most influential releases of all time alongside its successor.
English
@DerekPederson3 To be the Great Filter it has to rule out even probes that bootstrap synthetic life. The entire design space of probes, at all numbers and sizes, with the help of AGI, would have to be impossible.
English
Science fiction nerds are gonna hate me for saying this but the Great Filter is that interstellar travel is probably more or less impossible and there is no reason to come up with any other explanation for that.
English
@yetanotherr34w1 @AnimeSourcerer @empyrealviolet I tried taking this seriously and building for PvP even in single-player, so if I did coop I wouldn't be using a weapon that makes me bad at fighting back. But it sucks all the fun out of the game to play this way.
English
@AnimeSourcerer @empyrealviolet Yeah, a really simple probem is that the people who are invading are the people who are optimized for invading. So even in an ideal scenario things are probably going to be lopsided, with a PvP build vs a PvE build. And most of the time it isn't just that, it's worse.
English
I've barely ever engaged with the multiplayer stuff in these games but this is still 100% true. Invasions basically don't happen outside of co-op anymore and if nothing else I do feel their absence.
Xuanathame@Xuanathame
"Elden Ring critiques" always conveniently leave out how Elden Ring has the worst multiplayer in the series and how detrimental that is to the game as a whole because none of them understand how important Multiplayer is to souls games
English
@AnimeSourcerer @empyrealviolet It was always this way, too. People tell the worst stories about how it used to be good, but when DS1 was new people would bring fully upgraded Lightning weapons to Undead Burg. Every newbie was warned to play the entire game Hollow.
English
@empyrealviolet I played Elden Ring with my friends with the Seamless Co-op mod, so we had no invasions at all. I found it to be a notable improvement. Twink builds that stomp early gamers are a blight on invasions and a detriment to the experience overall.
English
@SLAVEKNIGHTX I felt this way about Vordt also. A lot of wasted potential that would be better if the fight lasted longer.

Pretty meh boss to be honest, I don't really have too many opinions. It's not good or bad it's really just there. Almost annoying but the fight doesn't go on long enough to get to that point.

@DeityOfAmok @Maliykus She at least has a tragedy where she continues to believe in a religion after it abuses her.
English
Dark Souls 3 Firekeeper is a contender for the blandest character in the entire series
berserksouls@berserksouls
English
@Drazon333 I hate her because she never criticizes Marika when she has the power to. (Marika needs her and has no leverage over her.) Roderika is the only character brave enough to call Marika terrible, and to want her dead. Well, and Messmer, but he's a jerk.
English
My theory is people like the other maidens more cuz they’re more submissive and have a traditionally feminine caretaker personality. But they all lack any real depth. Especially ds3 fire keeper even if she is a sweetheart. Melina however is super layered character who-

@LemmySmackett I've only read one of these and it has absurd reality warping, so I can't tell whether the others above/below it are jokes or not.

@VideoArtGame The Radiance. I was completely surprised by the events in the fight.

Would you play a platformer like this?
AI is getting seriously impressive. People aren't going to care what made it, so long as they are entertained.

@QuasLacrimas Robert Jordan had a Chosen One protagonist and did this even worse than GRRM. It's a failure mode of fantasy writers. They love inventing shit more than resolving shit.
English
It seems to me that GRRM dislikes the concept of "the protagonist" because he dislikes the idea that there is a privileged person to whom most of the main and important events occur, and to whom most of the events that occur are important Main Events. But if you insist on telling 6+ stories filled with irrelevant events because you consider narrative to be insulting to your personal nihilism, then as the main characters move away from each other and their stories no longer intersect with one another, while their interactions with other new characters accumulate, you are going to get an exponential explosion in the size of the story. That's just math...
Shivers@thinkingshivers
I used to think GRRM's writing pace (or lack thereof) was insane. But I recently learned that another well-known fantasy author, Patrick Rothfuss, has the exact same problem!
English
@MillennialWoes This is the saddest consequence of IQ heredity. I used to hope black people would eventually stop hating us, or at least our children, if we did enough. Now I know they never will.
English
It doesn't matter how much we do for them - the vast amounts of money and time and white energy ploughed into improving them. None of it will be appreciated. Gratitude is alien to them, so they will continually demand ever more from you.
glock ☦︎@gloccnem
white people will literally be kind to everything existing but black people 😭
English
@nothingbruv_ Sounds like they don't want to explain iframes to the player. Iframes don't work on Fury Attacks, but if you can avoid the hitbox it of course won't hit you.
English
ok so I was not crazy, they actually changed the wording of the tutorial. I saw JA criticizing the left one in his video and ig it must have reached to the devs and so they changed the wording but I think the newer one is worse. Not mentioning dodging at all is the problem.
English
@nothingbruv_ I like to kill everything, but Elden Ring made those Miranda Flowers that are complete bullet sponges. No way to kill one in a reasonable time, and there are so many.
English
I still remember running past some enemies in Sekiro and especially ER in my first playthroughs. But as I kept playing these games, the more and more I have felt in love with engaging with the levels and MASTERING em. Especially thanks to DS1 & DS2.
TIGO IS A DEAD MAN@TigoODonnell
Part of me wonders how many people actively fight enemies and engage with levels in Souls games, how many just rush through and run past encounters, and how that changes their viewpoints and experiences of these games.
English
@kendrictonn @AlexGodofsky I will try one! They go on sale on Steam a lot. Would like something different from more open world slop.
English
@AlexGodofsky @Morsker I enjoyed the single player campaign for h1 a lot, but it has been a minute
English
"Halo was mechanically unimpressive as a shooter" is one of those takes that only shows up on this site because people have run out of every single other thing to talk about so they just make up ridiculous nonsense
English
@kendrictonn @AlexGodofsky I have never played them. Are any good single-player or are they mostly loved for Xbox multiplayer nostalgia?
English
@AlexGodofsky You may be right, but on the other hand the concept of what a shooter is and how it should play has radically [de]volved since then. Halo is spare! Perfect, but spare
