We’ll be waiting a year just for the PC release. I honestly don’t mind. Playing a fully patched game is generally worth waiting for as well.

Absolutely crazy.

Seems like they should have just gone with these VRAM configs with the non-super variants from the start.

After using steamOS, I’m more likely to buy a new AMD card when support for desktops comes in, or use Bazzite.

I really really would like quick resume on PC. That would be so much more valuable to me than multi-frame gen and path tracing.

Until then, my 3070ti (8gb VRAM) will have to do.

This one is great.

Ah good one. Less vs fewer is another like this. IDGAF the distinction there either

Morphine was switched to Med-X (worldwide) due to refusal for classification in Australia for Fallout 3 in 2008. Fallout has used the word “chems” in every country since the start I thought.

Are you claiming that all video games have to have green blood to be sold in Australia?

So is this correct?

My buddy Joe told me. “I will live and die on this hill”.

This one I’m so guilty of, it just seems fine when used in moderation, even if I know it’s wrong.

Hahaha yep. Now Death Stranding 2 is out, Dark Souls 2 discussion has become difficult, joining DS1.

I think if I took it too far and said that all contractions are basically acceptable, y’all’d’n’t’ve agreed with me.

Ironic because Gabe appreciation is still kind of cult like.

It’s the sort of game I think we should praise for those reasons, I agree. I’m definitely in the no-buy camp if a game has a cash shop. The indie game space is where truely high risk creative design is happening, AA is the space for slightly more ambitious titles that require that polish but can still take some risk. I respect Tango for that and definitely think they were done dirty BTW.

There would be lots of ways to make the style meter matter more that didn’t feel too forced.

Agree that maybe you could lose health if you’re not on beat, and gain it back for being on beat.

Nerfing move damage if you’ve used the same one too many times could also be a way. I know you get more style for varying your moves so it’s almost there.

Creating intrinsic motivation in the player is a tricky one to pin down. The player needs to be invested themselves to want to do a self-guided goal, almost by definition. Pokemon nailed it by having an anime, banger song, and gambling-adjacent card collection game (all of them being insanely popular) surrounding the gameboy games. That fed into the desire of players to catch em all massively.

Thanks for the recommend. My favourite rhythm game is Sekiro.

Fair enough feedback.

I think it’s up to the game designers to motivate certain playstyles. If there was a reason beyond the personal self imposed challenge to attain S rank in every fight, that would be a motivation, but there isn’t a style rank cutoff for completion.

I didn’t play Rhythm Master but it sounds like that should be the default difficulty reading the wiki now.

To be more accurate, I refrained from spamming abilities for 90% of the game and did use more than 3 attack combos. But the option to just do that was there. It was not my main criticism of the game anyway.

I should say I approached the game with an open mind, maybe a little too hopeful by the hype, and I grew up in the 5th/6th gen of consoles, so understand the game is a PS2 throwback in terms of the design.

Never have I given DMC a fair shake, maybe that’s the kind of audience the game was going for.

Ultimately yeah, I’m saying the game isn’t for me. But I often hear the game in discussions of what the industry is missing in terms of game design, and I don’t think I agree that it’s worth that level of praise.

Wow he directed a bunch of Resident Evil, and Dino Crisis. And worked on Aladdin on the SNES. Respect.

Immolation-only run is possible, so sorcery + pyro would be fine. Pyro glove is the most useful part of a SL1 playthrough in DS1.

I’ve got your exact hardware configuration and use case. Pop_OS broke on me after 18 months due to GNOME extensions I think. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma works really well for gaming/coding and general use, though I’m dual booting for Ableton Live on windows and the occasional VR.
