Well 10% is fine with me, thanks for changing my mind

I’m aware but it was getting compared to Hitman, a primarily stealth game, throughout development.

And according to the other reply I got, the comparison isn’t wrong.

Can you play the whole thing stealth or is there mandatory combat? Maybe what I saw was just people not being good at stealth

I was pretty hyped about this but after watching some gameplay, I think I’ll pass. I thought it was going to be a lot more like Hitman but it seems more like a pure action game.

Like others have said, the the enemies are blind and deaf. Doesn’t seem like a bad game but not what I’m looking for

Yep, he’s finally getting into the space industry 26 years after founding Blue Origin.

Haven’t played Alan Wake but Control is worth a spin. The story is decent but I feally enjoyed the ambiance. And that one level (you will know which one) is definitely one of the coolest of all time.

I’ve unfortunately had the same experience as you, I’d say at least 2/3 of my office is pro-AI.

Yeah, I think my mistake was not realize the praise was coming from a much younger demographic. I was really surprised by how little gameplay there is.

Yeah yeah, I know lol

I just don’t want to play any game bad enough to deal with cracks.

It was also the first game I ever played where the ray tracing didn’t feel like a gimmick. I didn’t even notice it for most of the game and then when I did, I really appreciated how much it was adding to the atmosphere.

I want to play Alan Wake 2 but I don’t want to install Epic.

Most of my library is indie games but I’m really looking forward to CONTROL Resonant and the 007 game (love me some Hitman).

I’m happy to pay the premium for graphics/voice acting/whatever if the game is actually fun. A shame that so many AAA developers forget about that last part.

I played Undertale and was kind of underwhelmed. The fandom would have you thinking it was the greatest game ever made

I really liked this game. I am not a fan of open world but my friend talked me into trying it and it defied my expectations.

Every side quest has “purpose” in filling out the world, I don’t think I ran into a single one that felt shoehorned in. And the way the map unlocks is very natural to the story.

I guess if you consider silently scrolling through variations on the same dozen jokes over and over a form of exploration…

It’s a bit ironic when meme culture cluttered and homogenized the internet

I got weirdly emotional the other day reading about Yellowstone and thinking about what people must have thought when they stumbled on Old Faithful.

Had they ever seen anything like that? Probably didn’t even know what it was. Even if they were a first generation American, it’s not like Europe is covered in geysers.

I got kinda sad knowing that every major natural feature on earth has already been discovered. I know that’s hyperbolic but…the bottom of the ocean isn’t something a normal person will ever see.

The article is 6 sentences long and 2 of the sentences are speculation from the author.

This is not a good article.

There is nothing TO understand. It’s “this thing happened. Here’s two statements of what that might mean”

There’s is no useful information in this article, just speculation

This breakthrough suggests that, with just three satellites, China could achieve global, 24/7, all-weather reconnaissance coverage of high-value targets, including US naval fleets.

To match this capability, other countries might need to deploy hundreds, if not thousands, of satellites.

Suggests that…Might need to…I don’t think the author is familiar with the subject matter they’re reporting on

This isn’t racing but I was thinking about it this weekend:

Cobalt Core is a fun roguelike deckbuilder about escaping a time loop in a spaceship that I feel doesn’t get enough love. Definitely one of my favorites.

The characters are cute but not painfully so. They have unique personalities and every time you “win,” you unlock bits of the story of how everyone got there.

Huh? WoW gearing is easy as hell this season. Yeah it’s not 2 hours until max level but there’s more easy ways than ever to get good gear. Hell, you can get a piece of the second highest level armor every week doing solo content

Some friends convinced me to try GW2 and I had the opposite experience. Everyone had all their fancy mounts and stuff from past expansions and I couldn’t do shit unless I went back and did the relevant campaigns…each of which is several hours. I got close to max level and quit. The combat is also painfully boring IMO

I had no issues running it a couple years ago…though it was a pretty disappointing. Very very dated and plain. I couldn’t remember how to get anywhere either and for a game so reliant on portalling around, it was rough

Ohhh shit someone else who has visited Rubi-Ka? Loved that game when I was younger

I figured it was a bug!

Lemmy is breaking for one of us

I just bought Opus Magnum which is on sale right now so maybe nothing, haven’t had any games I’ve been eyeing except that

I’ve now read more about this and developers DO have a ton of control. They can choose what parts of the image to apply it to and with what intensity. So I guess it’s not literally impossible

I read some more about it and it looks like developers have a lot of granular control. Not just % applied but options per object type. So they can max it out for faces, 50% for water, 25% for foliage, etc.

There are some legitimately awesome use cases for this especially if they let developers train their own models. I didn’t play Death Stranding but I know they’ve got detailed face scans of Norman Reedus…imagine if the Norman filter got applied to his character in-game.

I hate Nvidia and think this demo (mostly) looks like shit but these hyperbolic reactions are making me feel like the crazy one. I know it’s janky and running on 2 cards but it’s wild that it’s happening in real time and IMO it’s really interesting tech. There are so many cool ways this could be applied beyond hyper realism

I don’t see why it wouldn’t work the same way as shaders. There’s just no way a developer making a 3d puzzle game would be forced to have it enabled

I don’t love it either but you and I are probably have a similar chance of dying to gun violence even if the statistics say I’m 200% more likely to

Also helped by the fact that EA games just aren’t that good. Easiest boycott of my life

Hilariously one of the more statistically dangerous cities in the country lol

I lived in Chicago for over 20 years and while I did see someone ditch a stolen car and escape the stereotypically-fat cops by jumping on a train, I never even heard gunfire.

I don’t dispute that (I’d even wager that the safer state is worse than the most dangerous eu country) but it’s not like it’s commonplace to get killed by a stranger. You’re more likely to die during travel unless you’re specifically traveling to dangerous neighborhoods

It’s not downplaying it at all, I’m saying gun violence being a significant factor in choosing not to travel in the US is pretty ridiculous.

I’m not gonna say gun violence isn’t a problem here but…this reminds me of rightwingers going on about violence in Chicago. The reality is that most of the gun violence is isolated to certain areas and Chicago is a big place…the US is even bigger.

And it’s not like you’re being invited to visit a high school

I love survival crafting games but Don’t Starve is a bit too punishing for me. I gave it 20 hours of attempts before giving up.

Things can fall apart so fast and so easily and like you said, they just throw you to the wolves to figure it out or die

I had a good time with that in beta. Maybe I’ll spin it up again

Same thing I came here to say.

I got the itch and played a campaign on 6 last week and was thinking about what 7 would need for me to buy it…and the answer is an expansion and a deep discount. The feature changed are kinda meh to me

Or maybe hearing that all the buggy stuff that bugs me about 6 is fixed.

I mean guess I did interact with Progress Quest to launch it the first time lol
