>>1894472 Fug. Sage because I meant *became not game twice there.

>>1894423 >Give me Warhammer 40,000: Deus Ex <sequel is a focus tested slop that ignores what made the original great You're getting a more authentic Deus Ex experience than you bargained for.

>>1894507 It hurts EYE was made with barely any budget, and there's games by solo devs now that do what it did. You follow trends without a fuckhuge marketing campaign, you die, it's that simple. You're better off not getting that investement money at all, if they force you to do shit like that.

Does original music from fan games count? If so, a real one, and then... less real.

>>1561575 moon cricket is also a pretty good one

>>1891960 >$1,200 Xbox Magnus We'll have to see what the finalized specs are, especially in relation to other PC hardware on the market, but the next Xbox is just going to be a Windows 11 PC in a branded SFF case. It's not a terrible price for an upper-mid-range prebuilt Win 11 PC. If you just want an "Xbox Console", and I don't know why the fuck you would, but if you do - you're gonna be fucked for that price. But it could be a great affordable entry-point for PC gaming - especially if the price hikes on RAM/SSDs/GPUs due to increasing demand from AI companies ends up completely fucking the PC hardware market. Even more than it already is.

>>1892012 its most likely going to use pc hardware like the last 2 console generations but locked down with its own system and custom drivers specifically for it

>>1894164 If they're serious about merging Xbox and Windows into a singular platform, then it doesn't make any sense to lock down the branded Xbox hardware, because everything is an Xbox and nothing else is locked down. That decreases the value proposition for no real gain. Though they will have custom hardware that's non-upgradable, which could end up fucking them later on down the road. How are they going to keep charging $1,200 three years down the line when that mid-range hardware is now low-end and getting trounced by OEM partners who can sell much more powerful hardware for the same price or maybe even less. They're certainly not going to be able to raise prices as the hardware depreciates. I mean the platforms are already merged, but there's not quite 1:1 parity just yet - so Xbox can still be considered by the market as holding the monopoly "on Xbox hardware" - but they're now going to open up that market and inviting competition in going into next gen. To a point, Microsoft doesn't care. Just more copies of Windows to spy on people and gather telemetry for ads and feeding their AI. Still, they have contracts with AMD and other suppliers to provide Xbox hardware and it'd be a huge loss for them to have them all sit around in warehouses because they've been shut out of their own market. Maybe they just expect the stupids to pay out extra for the no-hassle hardware and security of the official Xbox standard hardware - but if they want the brand to carry them, then they should really be doing a hell of a lot more to build confidence in that brand, rather than burning it to the ground.

>>1887064 ur mom after i tell her i love her lmao i don't love her

>>1889375 his mom was so erotic tho

>>1888689 No, it's still a bait post Deathclaws are sexier

>>1840539 >Your brain can't pattern recognition things it has no idea the meaning of. It absolutely can, it just will take way too much time to do so.

>>1889944 using context to understand is nice and all, but you also need to work on using the language. unless you're happy staying a half-literate mute.

>>1892987 >unless you're happy staying a half-literate mute. Unironically yes, as I have no intention of ever speaking with someone in Japanese, or even communicating with the Japanese people. >inb4 but what about when you will visit Japan? I have no interest in visiting other countries. If I am ever forced to visit it, then I will prepare myself enough to do the bare minimum of small talk.

>>1890665 >A lot of big devs seem to have this issue. They want the live service model but they fundamentally misunderstand how much work that entails to be even remotely successful. The trickle of content is to (a) Give shills and journos (but I repeat myself) a talking point to defend the roster, and (b) keep interest until the DLC appears on the horizon. World had a similar problem, but World also delivered reasonably well - Iceborne, despite its glaring flaws, was a pretty massive DLC and between IB and the TUs World's roster added quite a few fan favorites like the lightning monkes, Jho/Savage Jho, Glavenus, Brachy, Nargacuga, Alatreon and Fatty, etc. and added a more traditional endgame. Where they kinda fucked themselves was with Rise, as Risebreak ended up with a roster of 78 large mons on top of shipping with 48 large mons at base. It had any number of other problems and lacked the spit and shine of World but World's dearth of content was partially excused by "new direction for series, prease undastandu" + Iceborne, and Risebreak's flaws were cushioned by a lesser degree to the shift from MT Framework (which they had been using for MH since 2011) to RE Engine and the fact that it was designed to be Switch-friendly. However, Wilds has neither excuse. It uses RE Engine, an engine which has already been used to create a MH game with a metric fuckton of content, and the groundwork and resources for the "FHD open world" flavor of MH was already extensively laid by Worldborne and Rise. Rise in particular, seemed to have no issue with porting over a vast amount of content from World. Wilds also had a very generous dev cycle; World was basically wrapped up with Iceborne and the portable team also pitched in starting in 2022 after Sunbreak dropped. So on top of the various poor decisions you have a lot of people asking "where's the beef?". Also, as a small aside: Capcom has actually improved marginally when it comes to DLC/incomplete MonHun games. In previous generations, they would release a game that had LR/HR content and not much else and then later release another game at full price that had the existing game plus G-rank content and new monsters. Freedom -> FU, Gen -> GenU, etc. Handling this with DLC is actually an improvement, in the same way that getting splashed with piss is better than getting splattered with shit.

>>1891460 No. Actually being able to buy a physical edition of the full game is better. Now you can never ever own a copy of the full game.

>>1516587 That game was so much fun, Tigrex and its deviant were my favorite to fight.

>>1891287 Bonus images

>>1891287 >Spoiler. Not even close, this is my fetish >>1088260

>>1891521 Well I think this should be.

>>1318746 >It's definitely lacking in the combat department I honestly think TP is peak Zelda combat. Fighting Iron Knuckles or Darknites or whatever their name was was fun

>>1834778 I think TP is peak Zelda period. Even setting aside the absolute sex that is Midna I dig the plot, dungeons, combat, whole package. Moving away from that to more "open" Zelda, even with stuff like LBW, felt wrong to me.

>>1834778 Fighting Darknuts, Aeralfos and the bosses was the only fun part of Twilight Princess's combat for me. Everything else feels like it can only hurt you if you're not paying attention or if it's an archer. >>1885932 I agree, it's definitely in my top 5 games of all time. I just wish the combat had a bit more to offer, something that OoT and Wind Waker were able to balance fairly well.

>>1695856 There are people who allegedly do that in Etsy.

I really want to get a 3D printer so I can make a BJD of Cotton, I was originally going to make her with clay but 3D printing seems much easier and more standard. ELEGOO Jupiter SE seems promising, affordable and should be large enough to make the dolls I have in mind but I'll probably need a curing machine as well. I have zero experience with 3D printing so this will be a massive learning experience. If there's anything else I should know feel free to mention it. I know resin can be a bit dangerous so I'll try to find a good ventilated place I can set up shop.

>>1881251 >Holy fuck, imagine if a mod did that. >We would need to completely rethink our builds and overuse obsidian to protect our base, maybe build in high altitude with a system of water elevators. Or just put cats everywhere. More complex mob behaviors like these would be a good fit for hard mode instead of it just being a flat mob spawning rate and damage increase, i despise difficulity sliders that do nothing but change numbers

>>1863845 At this point Minecraft is better at being a diorama/voxel art simulator than it is at being an actual game. And speaking of art, there's apparently an actual camera item limited to the fucking education edition of the game. Why the hell couldn't that have been added when copper and amethyst were? The ability to take in-game photos, print them as items, frame them, add them to books, etc. Fuck you, you get a spyglass and a lightning rod. >>1885941 >actual changes in behavior and design would be better than health and damage inflation I agree but I mean that just goes without saying.

>azure servers get jeet'd >minecraft is unplayable Thanks microshart.

>>1872754 I think they abandoned those because they were too long and not fun in playtesting, and bridged the cap with Crime Sprees. A 7-day heist would be a entire L4D style campaign, I'm sure a dev could pull that off but not Overkill. The whole Hoxton saga could have been a 7-day heist honestly.

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/218620/view/528734197434548839 First of these updates was put out on Thursday. I'll copy and paste all changes. Gameplay Reduced the interaction timers on upgrading drills/saws/thermal lance from 10 seconds to 3 seconds Fixed carried lootbags being consumed when the player fails an interaction Fixed floating hands being visible while looking through cameras Fixed enemy flashbang detonation timers being too long on higher difficulties Fixed the Ordnance Bag equipment being refreshable by leaving and rejoining a game Fixed Captain Winters staying immortal forever if his squad are killed before he arrives

Assuming they ever get around to making heists, are they just going to reuse Viklund's music? Because I've heard Gustavo's shit on PD3 and I wasn't impressed. Den of Wolves please save us, don't fuck up like GTFO did.

>>1886758 >actually it's not evil and completely ok that it will piss everyone off because it will make life easier and better line the pockets of the kikes at the top of the corporate food chain Kill yourself Moshi.

>>1882952 >>1882963 >the literal walking trashcan has a better, more memorable design than everything else in the game Tragedy and comedy surround us, for those with eyes to see.

>>1883659 >Those are some of the ugliest women I've seen put to screen One of those isn't a woman, anon.

>>1889496 Fun fact - in Macedonia month of April was month of Artemis.

>>1870043 I redid her model entirely. Still haven't fixed her hair. >>1875640 They refuse to kill the project but I don't think anyone working on it even cares about it anymore.

WIP Kasha walking sprite for her "bigger" game and more progress on Sachi's model. It vexed me for a while but I think I finally figured out her hair.

>>1875607 >A lot of the devs bled away from 8chan during Prime's awful technical issues Cosigned. Multiple passes of captchas is one thing, but the constant roulette of double/triple posting, posts getting eaten by vichan, and vague errors not allowing any posting was simply not workably at all >>1875640 >>1876657 Genuinely think that AI/LLM code generation may potentially be the only way that Ant & Cool would be completed without needing 30 years and/or paid contractors. At least those models have *a* working knowledge of smashing Unity scripting together.

>>1880930 Probably with WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %command% or adding Dinput8 in winecfg

>>1880631 Weirdly enough, it work perfectly for me with just the fix and dxvk even though I'm on linux.Guessing you need a lot of old ass compatibility stuff since it's a very old DX version on shitdows. You could always just VM a windows XP install and try to run it through that, see if it's more stable. I was dead set on doing the entire deus ex series a year ago. Got this shit running and put it down after 3 hours and a half. The first 10 minutes made me go "this has to have been outsourced to a different company" until I read that no, it was the same people that made this game. Just feels like a complete downgrade of the first game in every sense of the word.

>>1884129 DX2 was like that for a number of reasons. >Deus Ex sold the best on PS2 ergo consoles were made the focus >Xbox was chosen to be the target platform >many new team members from console development were brought in >DX was visually dated so graphics were prioritized >devs were "embarrassed" how complex and difficult to understand DX's story and writing were >the team wasn't working well together >focus tested heavily >rushed, DX1 started planning 1994 and released 2000; DX2 in 2001 and 2003 There are other things, like the composer being put on a creative leash, but these lead to a cascade of design compromises resulting in DX2 being 6/10 at best. So much was a result of the Xbox's mere 64MB of SDRAM, and this RAM was not well used. (PS2 has even less with 32MB RAM/4MB VRAM, but it managed to handle a relatively faithful port of Deus Ex) The wild thing is that for awhile DX2 had actually outsold the original game, 1.1m copies vs 1.2m by 2011, it also reviewed great. DX2's terrible legacy is entirely retrospective, even before Human Revolution it had soured significantly. I've sat here and pondered why DX2 was so positively received on launch, and I have a few guesses. Most of it come down to "early 2000s". 2003 was a weird time for the industry, FPS especially. DX2 genuinely looked fantastic for the era, Doom 3 was its only competition on that front, and the industry was very graphics focused during the 6th gen when graphics were still rapidly advancing before stagnating in the 8th gen, so the razzle dazzle of DX2 would have mattered more to the press and arguably gamers. 2003 was also too early to see the devastating effects of consolization -- or "console-idation", as Ross Scott put it -- on the industry, especially CRPGs and previously PC focused games. It's obvious DX2 was a victim of this in hindsight, but there wasn't enough history to see that. Finally, 1996-2007 was a period where many gamers were maturing or entering gaming for the first time, you saw all sorts of okay games hailed as brilliant, like Halo. As DX2 outsold the original, it's likely many of those people never even played the original to know how different it was, or played an immsim at all. Think of how many Fallout fans have never touched the series before 3. If all you knew was Halo and Goldeneye, Invisible War must have felt absolutely out of this world.
