Wild Hearts. It's a bit like Walmart Monster Hunter. Not as much content, depth or polish in the areas it shares with Monster Hunter, but it has some interesting ideas folded in. There is a system for building crude bases in any given region and placing various traps and similar contraptions during combat.
It has a fun weapon class called claw blade, which feels like being in Attack on Titan. You build up your combo meter with basic ground and aerial combos, then you can plant a wire onto a monster. This enables you to orbit around the monster in the air, diving in and out of range for attacking and dodging. The duration that the wire will remain attached for depends on how much you build your combo meter up prior to going airborne, dive-spamming and successful monster attacks against you also draining the remaining time. If you land enough successful attacks during the wired combo, you can perform a finisher for a last big chunk of damage.
Weapons seem like they have synergies with the little things you can build during monster battles, too. Placing three boxes next to a monster, climbing them and plunging into it with the claw blade lets you begin a wired combo with a decent duration even without building the combo meter up beforehand (granted, not as long as manually building the meter, but long enough for a full combo so long as you don't get hit or mash buttons too much). There is quite a bit of flashiness to all the weapons, but they feel shallow compared to Monster Hunter movesets. They're still fun to play around with, thanks to the supporting contraptions.
I'm only playing it because I got a free code for some Xbox PC games subscription. I think it's normally $70 (USD) and I would definitely not recommend paying that much for it.

I have become obsessed with modding Skyrim. Currently working on a bound guns mod, with summonable guns that scale in damage with your conjuration skill. It's crazy to me that at the high end of things you have people who have become extremely knowledgeable in art, math, and programming just so they can include sexy ladies with jiggling tits in every game they play, yet it's probably brought them very little economic opportunity.

work for free, but digital media is unlike any other product or service. Clearly, I'm in the minority, but it's an off-the-wall, bonkers business model to me. They only need to make something one time and then they have an unlimited inventory of that product, so on a fundamental level what do they even have to sell? What are you paying for, their labor? No, they can't claim they're selling their labor, because they already did the work. If they were selling their labor then they would be working under commission, or would seek funding before working on anything. This would also mean they have no excuse to put a price tag on a digital-only game since they're not selling a product, they're selling their time. Customers pay for digital media solely out of good will or because they find it too inconvenient to circumvent artificial barriers. When you consider this, video games probably have no right being a 250-billion dollar industry. If they were merely being compensated for their labor, it would not be.
>Though CURIOUSLY enough the torrenting scene seems to be dying - at least for pub/free trackers. Largely due to private tracker faggot gatekeeping and zoomers being too scared to torrent probably, but also because a lot of the incentive for doing so is gone. Faster internet means there are less problems with DDL and streaming for example. You no longer need to worry about things like poor video quality or slow, unreliable downloads from a single source, that you would need to re-download if they shat out on you before they were finished.

It makes no sense to treat digital media as a product. You can't really sell items that don't physically exist. Trying to sell any kind of digital media is really not much different from trying to sell an NTF. When you buy digital it already is effectively the same as donating to someone's patreon or indiegogo, but it's more lucrative for them to pretend they're selling products. It might seems like it's just splitting hairs, but this is why soyciety thinks piracy is literal theft. It creates a crooked morality, where people go to bat for greedy bastards with predatory business practices, while in reality they should be thankful for the support they have, because they don't have a moral right to receive a dime. When people do complain about corporate abuse regarding digital media it's from the wrong angle. It's worse than, "I bought this product, so I should have the right to do what I want with it.", there should be total righteous indignation, because It's more like, "I am basically your donator, yet you decided to piss on my good will and loyal support".

Bethesda is fucking up the mod scene once again with an update to Skyrim that fucks compatibility with older mods and integrates a new Microsoft store. It's easy enough to circumvent, but it's going to create another rift within the mod scene when people start selling out. People are also going to be less permissive about allowing others to use their assets or scripts and such. The first time Bethesda tried this it completely flopped on PC, but console-niggers ate it up since it's practically their only way to use mods. One thing to note also is it's unclear if the money is even worth it, since so far there's no information about the cut Microsoft gives you. It was apparently 25% last time, but Microsoft can probably afford more than that. Depending on how many people are downloading it could be a lot of money for relatively little work. I suspect that even if it's paying well in the beginning, it's going to quickly reach a saturation point like on mobile, where there's so much of the same stuff on there, that most files you upload aren't going to receive significant attention.
>>69875Is this what you were trying to warn us about, my retarded friend? Well you're still not completely right and you miss the point of modding if you think it's done for the developers or even just for the enjoyment of other players. At least I can always RETVRN to Morrowind. OpenMW creates a lot of potential for Morrowind, and there's not shit Microsoft or Bethesda can do about it. Even if they try to shut it down in court, OpenMW can run independently of Morrowind. New assets just need to be created.

It might be hard to imagine, but only about 15% of Skyrim's sales comes from the PC market. A lot of people did sell out last time. A few popular mods were even removed from sites like Nexus and reuploaded as a "lite" version while they tried to sell the premium(original) version in the creation club. A lot of people straight up quit out of disgust, or because they were rightfully getting shit from everyone in the sphere.
>Trying to remonitize skyrim again is like trying to squeeze blood from a stone.You would think so, but every port sells well enough with virtually no effort on their part, and now they want modders to make their "DLC" for their walled-garden at no cost to themselves too, and console niggers will probably buy. Another problem is they already had a forced update for steam users, and it might cause serious problems with versioning just like the SE/AE divide already has. So if you make a mod that requires the script extender(the vast majority), you now have to consider who you want to make it compatible for. The less savvy are not going to have the idea to downgrade or pirate. Assuming no prior knowledge, someone who just bought a game on steam would reasonably assume that every mod is going to work on a fully updated version.

I honestly got a great deal for the specs but I wonder if it's worth it when I have the 'WASD" keys highlighted in a cringe way and the W key even has a little nib on it so I don't lose my place or something, it's really annoying. I don't want a computer that looks like a retarded sports car for heavens' sake.

No.71714
>>71712What's even worse is they didn't even do a good job of the procedural generation. Like, if you look at daggerfall, a game from 1996, the dungeons are more interesting and unique. You go to a guildmaster in the mages guild or whatever, and you get a fetch quest. Go kill this guy or get that item. That sort of thing. You go to the dungeon, and it's a randomly generated layout built out of several "modules" that slot together like lego, and populated with level scaled random enemies. Maybe a certain level will have warriors and orcs, or bats and rats. The monsters are pulled from a list.
After doing these dungeons for awhile, you start to notice "oh I've seen this module before, there's lever behind the chair" but it still manages to be a lot better than starfield. In starfield you go to some barren desolate planet, get your randomly generated fetch quest, go to a procedurally generated dungeon... but then you show up and it's the exact same dungeon you were in last time with the same level scaled enemies and the same doodads and widgits scattered around.

>>71714>How the hell do you spend 5 years on this with 400+ employees and 200 million dollars and manage to make something worse than a game from 1996 made by like 2 guys?Three reasons: lack of standards and/or complacency by the people in charge, organizational bloat and a corporate work culture that doesn't reward good or at least sustained work (you make more money by job-hopping and/or being poached by other companies, which continuously disrupts multi-year projects requiring frequent onboarding from the turnover, instead of begging your current employer to give you a raise who will usually reject it or lowball you; this is different in Japan where you'll often work in the same company for the rest of your life so you may as well focus on getting raises). When you've already made it to the top, there's not much selection pressure to make you stay on top of your game and to make sure to autistically ensure everything's at the highest standards like when you were starting a business from scratch (instead you, as a board member or team lead, just do PR corporate babble to SAY you're doing everything at the highest standards to gyp big investors without actually walking the walk while getting blown by female assistants, mistresses and other hookers). I already said this before: when a company goes past 49 employees (which is the US legal definition of the maximum number of employees in a small business), it is no longer a business, it is an owner being arrogant thinking he can become a fief lord instead of just a wealthy business owner. The only time a business's output can successfully scale linearly to the number of employees is when all the commodities produced or resources extracted are the same and require little to no direction, e.g. textile industry, fast food chains, automotive assembly plants, coal miners, etc. In software and video games, you hit the law of diminishing returns much earlier because there's a point where cross-team communication becomes too unwieldly to navigate through the completion of a project. Why would you work hard when nigger cattle continue to empty their wallets for your shitty game? It's like asking why a woman should do her job well if all she has to do is doll up and show some cleavage to her male supervisor to get promotions. But since you're a braindead libtard you'll never ask the question why women should be allowed in the workplace in the first place, but that's another topic.

There's enough evidence out there that DirectX12 and Vulkan were a mistake for the video games industry. DirectX12 and Vulkan do not belong in video games unless ray tracing, which DX11 and OpenGL do not support out-of-the-box, is a major selling point of your game.
It takes over 1000 lines of code to draw a triangle in Vulkan:
https://github.com/SaschaWillems/Vulkan/blob/master/examples/triangle/triangle.cppIt takes just under 200 lines of code to draw a triangle in OpenGL 3.3:
https://learnopengl.com/code_viewer_gh.php?code=src/1.getting_started/2.1.hello_triangle/hello_triangle.cppIt does not surprise me at all that games in DirectX12 mode run like shit compared to DirectX11 mode despite both modes appearing visually identical. Requiring more lines of code not only means more time is required to write that code but also more cognitive load, maintenance and testing is required. I guarantee that the major video game companies could've saved a lot of money by not wasting their time making their games work on DX12 (or Vulkan) to instead focus on fixing bugs and further optimizing their DX11 builds.
>"An idiot admires complexity, a genius admires simplicity." - Terry Davishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0qmkQGqpM8Meanwhile you still have an endless amount of kool-aid drinkers on the internet with zero fact-based or even logic-based arguments to back up why they believe DirectX12 and Vulkan were a net positive for video games:
https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/have-low-level-apis-been-a-net-failure-so-far-seems-devs-are-struggling-with-them.448020/In hindsight what should've been done was DirectX12 instead being named DirectX11 Low-Level Mode (which obviously would go against Microsoft's marketing/shysterism) and Vulkan not being hyped up and advertised as a direct replacement for OpenGL. If video game companies were not pressured for marketing reasons to move onto supporting
The Next Big Thing™ (DirectX12 has a larger number than DirectX11 so it must be better) this wouldn't have been a problem. There are a few areas where Vulkan for example is a legitimate net positive, such as the open source project DXVK for Wine to translate DX9/DX10/DX11 to Vulkan which has proven to outperform the DirectX-to-OpenGL equivalent (WineD3D). But the common thread in which places you'll see real-world gains are that they are open source very-long-term-oriented projects. Video games are not open source nor are they long-term (in either development or maintenance), they are produced by short-term-job-hopping employees (at least in America) in very strict time frames to meet quarterly goals set by the clueless MBAs and bean counters in charge. If you half-ass your implementation in DX12 or Vulkan it will run shittier than the simpler DX11 or OpenGL implementation.

>>72242Are the specs really that similar? heh
No.72320
>>722421. People buy Nintendos for Nintendo games.
2. Nintendo can have worse specs than their competition not only because their first-party games don't focus on realism stylistically (which requires more graphics processing) but also because their first-party developers only have to target one platform, which means no abstractions are necessary in their game engines. Code abstractions (so you can write game logic that is completely independent/ignorant about the actual hardware it needs to push data around in) can really slow down a game engine, like up to an order of magnitude more RAM and GPU TFLOPs needed than if it were coded "close to the metal." That's why the graphics of Twilight Princess (2006, Gamecube, a console with 40 MB of system RAM and 3 MB of VRAM) is arguably comparable to Oblivion at medium settings (2006, mulitple platforms, minimum PC requirements: 512 MB RAM and 128 MB of VRAM), and IMO better because the character model animations are fluid and detailed unlike Oblivion which has that low-attention-to-detail buggy jank characteristic of Bethesda. Of course this screws over third-party developers who abstract the hell out of their game engines (or use a third-party game engine like Unity or Unreal which are also inherently inefficient) so they work on multiple platforms with little to no tinkering required but Nintendo never really cared about third-party developers, Nintendo has the attitude that they're doing them a favor by allowing them to release games on their platform (although they've recently dropped the ball with the "EShop" which I can see is now littered with garbage AI art softcore hentai games, e.g.
https://www.nintendo.com/en-ca/store/products/anime-sexy-girl-puzzle-hentai-game-history-adventure-switch/ ) unlike Sony which even to this day has a reputation of trying to goad people to make games for their platform by sending free dev kits (read: indie developer Jonathan Blow's experience with Sony over his game
The Witness).

No.72507
>>72505That almost never happens. They don't use optimal strategies during events, they take as few risks as possible. A record ends up being nothing but RNG the more optimized it becomes. It's as ridiculous as rolling a sack full of dice for 12 years and then soying out when you finally get the number you wanted. It doesn't even make him better at the game than any of the other people on the leader board he had a matching time with, it just makes him substantially more autistic for wasting 99-thousand more hours than they did trying to break the record.
No.72508
>>72507He's even more wrong in that regard. Doesn't matter how narrow a skill speedrunning a certain game is (although, there are many common principles across different games that enable many speedrunners to achieve respectable times in more than one of them). It's still much more than just playing one convoluted game of Yahtzee with a tote of dice or winning the lottery. Not only does it necessitate memorization and reflex, but also ingenuity. Strategies for speedrunning don't just materialize out of nowhere. They are changing all the time because people are brainstorming and testing new ways to optimize routing.
Getting a world record at a speedrun event is astronomically more likely than having some random moron off the street pull one out of his ass through casual play due to various factors. It's like a trained pianist winning a competition against someone who only ever played a recorder in second grade and then having the loser cope by saying something like, "w-well, he was just lucky he hit all the notes at the right time..."
I agree that it's a pathetic skill to devote thousands of hours practicing, but it's still a skill nonetheless. All that video amounts to is fat-for-brains trying to punch up like he always does to overcome his own sad existence and lack of talent.
No.72513
>>72508Sure, it's a "skill", but in records like that goldeneye level, gameplay isn't the deciding factor. No new strategies were cooked up, a lack of execution wasn't the problem, he just had to bang his head against the wall until he got the perfect RNG. At the time that video was made the skill ceiling had already been hit 15 years prior. Anyone could have tied with him and gotten a 00:53 with a minuscule fraction of the effort it took him to get a 00:52, which allegedly took 135K attempts. As far as "skill" is concerned here, It's not something he, or anyone else can replicate without relying on RNG(using known strategies), and since there's not a lot of competition for playing the world's worst gacha game it's not even proof of skill within his own niche hobby.

Played a lot of Palworld today. I like that they thought of letting you use the fake pokemon to automate production at your base. Only notable issue I have found so far is pathing. The monsters really struggle with any sort of significant elevation change. If a wild monster is standing on a bumpy ledge and you command one of your own to attack it, it will likely run into the ledge or back and forth. Same problem is even worse if you try setting up shop on a cliffside. I had been following this game for years and didn't have high expectations, but it's at least not as bad as I thought it would be.
No.72572
>>72567I don't know if I would recommend it yet for the reasons you said (bugs, flaky developer). I first played it on gamepass and realized it hit enough of my personal desires for me to also buy it on steam. It very much has delivered on being Pokemon with guns even in the first day of early access. As a huge fan of Pokemon to this day, I'm contented with it.
As a side note, one other gripe I have about the game is how easy it is to entirely waste the pokeballs. It's very similar to Legends Arceus, but you have to be much more precise with the throws on this game. I missed 3 throws in a row that seemed to be directly on a monster, whereas either the ball hitbox/monster hitbox/both in Legends Arceus ensured that accuracy of throw was practically a non-factor (I'm talking from like two meters or less away).

Read industry veteran and game designer Jonathan Blow.
Why Do They Want To Play?"I have a concern here," continued Blow. "My concern is that games designers of today lack discernment when we think about whether games are good or bad. If players play it and report they’re having fun, we say, 'hey that’s a good game.' If not, we say, 'they don’t understand it.'" Concluded Blow, "We don’t look at why they want to play. We have tools to keep players playing our game, but most fall into one category – scheduled rewards." Some examples of these "scheduled rewards" are collectibles, unlockables, achievements or advancing the story -- the player wants to beat the boss monster so they can see what happens to Joe when he walks through the next door. "Sometimes we take this really far," Blow noted. "MMOs are notorious for having relatively empty gameplay, but keeping players hooked with constant fake rewards – this creates 'the treadmill.' Rewards are a way of lying to the player so they feel good and continue to play the game." He noted some extreme examples of this, such as reported incidents of Chinese or Korean MMO players dying at the computer. He continued, "As long as players are hooked, it doesn’t matter how good the core gameplay is. As long as they want to get the nicer sword, they’ll still play the game, and as long as they play it’s all the same to us as designers – I’m sure at this point, people think I’m needlessly babbling on about this point. But I want to put forth this question – would they still play a game if it took out all the scheduled rewards?" "I’m not saying that that wouldn’t damage a game," added Blow. "It would damage almost any game. But if you strip it and just have the gameplay, does it fall below a certain threshold, is it still something people would want to play? We need to build that kind of discernment about the quality of play."
The WoW DrugHe clarified, "I’m not saying [rewards are] bad, I’m saying you can divide them into two categories – some are like foods that are naturally beneficial and can increase your life, but some are like drugs." Continued Blow, "As game designers, we don’t know how to make food, so we resort to drugs all the time. It shows in the discontent at the state of games – Radosh wanted food, but Halo 3 was just giving him cheap drugs." "The game industry is chasing bigger player base, and we’re exploiting them in an unethical way," Blow asserted. "We don’t see it as unethical because we refuse to stop and think about the magnitude of what we are doing. You can smoke, have fast food, and play World of Warcraft sometimes – when you talk about these things at a societal level, it becomes a societal problem." "The thing I want to get at is – I’m not trying to blame players here – what I am saying is, if you’re the CEO of McDonald's, you should not feel good about your job, you should feel ashamed. We don’t have that in the games business -- we don’t have that sense, because we feel like they’re 'just entertainment.' We don’t feel like we can do things we can be ashamed of yet," he added. Blow believes that according to WoW, the game's rules are its meaning of life. "The meaning of life in WoW is you’re some schmo that doesn’t have anything better to do than sit around pressing a button and killing imaginary monsters," he explained. "It doesn’t matter if you’re smart or how adept you are, it’s just how much time you sink in. You don’t need to do anything exceptional, you just need to run the treadmill like everyone else." "You don’t come away from WoW with that in your head, but that comes through subtly and subconsciously," Blow added. "It’s like advertising and brand identity. People identify with their activities – same thing with games, people are products of their origins and their environments. We’re giving them these environments and helping to determine what they’re going to be."
Natural Rewards"I say this kind of thing, and everybody’s like, 'whatever dude – you’re smoking something,'" said Blow. "I want to frame this; it’s a matter of scale. What I see as a primary challenge for mankind in this century is to understand and deal with the fact that despite these good enterprises -- human rights, safety, leisure time -- we do these at such a scale that we cannot help but have them affect the world, as with global warming, ozone holes, pollutants – we haven’t dealt with it yet." Carrying over the analogy, Blow said, "We don’t intend to harm players but we might be harming them. When tens of millions of people buy our game, we are pumping a mental substance into the mental environment – it’s a public mental health issue – it’s kind of scary, but it’s kind of cool because we have the power to shape humanity." He continued, "What I see right now is that we’re cultivating this style of gamer that just says 'I want more of that because it tastes delicious, and that’s all I know.'"

I've had many similar unjust nonsense bans because the current transministration will just accept a lot of concurrent reports from actual shills and unhinged control freak lunatics with VPNs as consensus and evidence of rulebreaking that simply doesn't exist. Hell, there might be some kind of automatic process in place that simply responds negatively to multiple reports and bans the user on the receiving end.

>>72727>Hell, there might be some kind of automatic process in place that simply responds negatively to multiple reports and bans the user on the receiving end.I have a strong feeling this is the case. They've probably gone the youtube route where moderation is automatic and then sent to a queue for review(that no one looks at), rather than a manual review being necessary for a ban. To add to speculation, by the 2010s bans started to become significantly more frequent and moot alleged this was due to "better moderation tools". Also people still joke that "they do it for free", but they've been registered employees for nearly a decade now. I doubt hebrewyuki wants to pay a large team of people to moderate the site.

Honestly if we documented it and proved semi-conclusively that such an apparatus were in place it would cause total destabilisation, and hopefully pressure them to address their moderation policies and restructure it entirely.

In Phantasm's case there could be a slight personal bias involved with a human (if trannies can be considered such a thing.

Noticed a lot of people on nexus are super butthurt about OpenMW for very dumb reasons. It reminds me of when Skyrim SE came out and people were crying about how LE was losing modders. The fact is the old Morrowind engine is ancient 32bit ass, and OpenMW has a lot more potential. I was told the Morrowind scene was more mature than Skyrim, I was lied to.
>>73401A common problem I'd see with a lot of new players is also that they'd swing frantically and let their fatigue run out, which would plummet their accuracy and damage. They are not aware of the fact that the damage range on weapons is based on how long you hold the mouse down, not a random chance. Maybe they should have read the manual, but I think it's partly the game's fault for not explaining some of the mechanics very well in-game.
