MOBA is the most boring genre ever made. Might as well play solitaire.

>>1040486 not quite as boring as walls of text

>>1040486 >played as a custom game in WC3 and SC1/2, nobody has any problems with it <after it became mainstream its now the worst thing ever

>>1040160 I've been playing 3U with some friends. We're now HR7 so almost at Dire Miralis. I know Goldbeard Ceadeus has some of the best armour you can get in G-rank, so I thought it would be a good idea to get Nibelsnarf armour for pierce up and Green Narga's HBG for pierce 3 so we can fuck up Ceadeus or whatever other annoying monster we might need to kill underwater. idk if that's the best HBG you could get but it seemed easy enough to make because you can make it directly without having to upgrade into it. >>1040247 Charge blade, greatsword and insect glaive are all really fucked up in that game, but the village quests are pretty easy, at least up until high rank. Honestly, not the worst thing in the world as you are pretty much required to beat the entire village to get through the hub as well (which I think is appropriately difficult, if you feel like soloing).

>>1040160 Mostly just flopping about endgame Sunbreak with a friend who wants to see most of the sights before Wilds, and bouncing between MHTri and MHP3rd. >>1040247 MH4U CB is the reason CB gets hit with the nerf bat every other game.

How's Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin?

>>1040258 Fucking shitty smug ass cat. Fucking asshole.

>>1040270 Face blindness is a sign of autism.

>>1040375 You don't belong on this site if you aren't even mildly autistic.

Finally finished Pristine Cut. Bought the game on GOG because I liked it so much the first time around. I don't really get why the world outside the construct in the new ending is different just because you don't have the voices with you. While memories help immensely with finding 90% of unseen content, there's still a very poor mechanical choice that makes people miss a lot of the voicework. Whenever you choose to skip dialogue, which anyone trying to find new content will undoubtedly be doing, it always skips playing the dialogue of the first new line when skipping is auto-stopped. This, combined with a lack of a rewind function, makes tons of voiced lines get missed and seen as text only. It's especially frustrating on routes where you're bringing one different voice compared to a previous run and 80% of the dialogue is the same. >>1032235 >that you've personally slayed. Not necessarily slain, but simply been cruel to in the end. For instance, you can't slay the Wraith as far as I can recall, but throwing yourselves into the abyss together qualifies. >>1032243 >>During the Tower refuse to tell her why you were sent to kill her For clarity, you can't just refuse by remaining silent when the option pops up, you have to explicitly tell her you refuse (the stuttering option), then you can remain silent. >>1032243 >>The Paranoid Voice and the Narrator whitepill the Broken into realising that the Princess doesn't give two shits about him I didn't much like this. It's fine for one voice to lean towards another, but a complete 180 of personality is very uncharacteristic. It would have made more sense if he started leaning the Cold's direction and simply stopped caring, rather than actively trying to hinder you in worship of her like he had been. >>1032686 While it's possible to interpret it this way, I see it as simply the most obvious method of building a working example of the Narrator's perfect world to show that unchanging eternity is not good. It's the only route in which the Narrator's opinion on his own actions changes and he wants the world to end.

One of the most interesting duos of Voices was the Stubborn and the Cold in a route. The Cold being able to endure the Fury because he gives so little of a shit was spectacular.

I find that each voice being a manifestation of how the Princess views the MC after during a route to be one of most interesting parts of this game. As depending on your choices and how she views the MC as a consequence of said choices can either aid or hinder you for the rest of the route. This game is fucking brilliant and that's a rarity for me to say of a modern game.

>>1040251 To be fair, doesn't Bongland have more pressing matters? Like the mass riots happening across the island due to the government trying to force illegals upon the population.

>>1040284 Protests, marches, riots and farmers are planning to spray shit all over government buildings on Tuesday. All while people are getting arrested for online posts. Shits fucked over here, but I don't think they would ever do anything anyway in regards to the petition.

>>1040284 What riots? There aren't any. You go to jail for taking a video of nonwhites. You go to jail for saying bad words about the dune coons who murdered your sister. Come on, man.

>>1040429 See the problem all has to do with the wifi & I decided to set it up right next to the router to test the connection. I go in & it won't even connect. Finally just now I try again & it tells me to reenter the password. Now all of a sudden it works. I'll just have to watch it to see if it stays connected now.

>>1040428 What's your wifi chip? AX200 Intel has shit tier bluetooth, idk about internet.

>>1040470 Qualcomm FastConnect 7800 Wi-Fi 7 High Band Simultaneous (HBS) Network Adapter. It's built onto the motherboard itself. I was able to sustain a connection for about 2 hours now after restarting the router. Have to test it upstairs away from the router next to see if that fixed the connection or proved I need to get a better range with a better router or an extra adapter. Internal or usb.

>>1038077 lines are easier to make than planes

>>1038141 Square Enix poured Millions into it

>>1038077 Refusing to acknowledge Open-World's limitations is part of why they suck, anon.

>>1039757 The mayor quest line is an interesting one becaus it extends beyond money to systems of power in my understanding. The people (AI) in control are beyond the monetary system into direct levers of power much like arasaka is in controlling mortality. It kind of extends beyond the dictorum of economics driving power.

>>1039793 It's an abusive relationship as the game puts to you.

>>1039214 >>1039213 Those numbers confirm that ubishit is gonna die soon.

UT99 is now legally freeware and allowed to be shared according to Epic Games apparently, so to celebrate I made a server: play.redchanit.xyz:7777 I'm a noob to UT99 so I only know the iconic maps, so the mapcycle currently is CTF-Face, DM-Deck and DM-Phobos.

>>1039768 nvm idk how map cycles work in UT so it has every map apparently, it's not obeying what I told it to use so I guess it just goes where it wants. I'll figure out plugins or whatever later

>>1039768 >>1039779 Gamenight when?

>>1037365 I tried it for a few months and it was different, but not great. Built from the ground up to be an open-PvP sandbox, but in the new sense of the terms. Everything is player-made from player-gathered materials, but every step is very formulaic. Mats are divided into tiers. Gear is divided into tiers. Zones are divided into tiers. Everything is done by exactly the same template; there are plenty of examples. Each type of weapon or equipment has a T3 version to a T8 version. The better ones have bigger numbers, but have the same name, the same abilities, and almost the exact same appearance. T2 is brown, T3 is green, T4 is blue, and so on - from armor to gear, even though that means T4 trees must have blue leaves. Every zone looks different, but they're all fundamentally square-shaped; it looks like Microsoft Excel design all over again. You can control territory and build buildings, but only in designated zones in the free PvP areas, or an instanced zone (personal island). Other than that, combat is pretty fun. PvE is as boring as any other MMO ("don't stand in the red" schlock), and PvP seems okay. It's the same weightless, impactless slop you'd expect from modern gayming, though: cooldowns are low, CC is short, good play relies on pressing a ton of buttons in the correct order over positioning and resource management. I had fun with it all for a few months, but eventually running back and forth between cities to gather and refine and craft and gather more and... it got old, as these games tend to. That's another thing, if you're looking specifically for relaxing gathering - there is a ton of moving between nodes. Lots of clicking, and since everything is mouse-based it can be hard on the wrist. Don't get carpal tunnel early, anon.

You know it's bad, when even Microsoft does a better job at remastering an RTS than Blizzard.

>>1039430 Unpopular opinion. I'm a long-time Warcraft 3 veteran, and I think Reforged isn't so bad. They patched a lot of the issues with launch for multiplayer. I really like how they brought back older UI designs from The Frozen Throne for Reforged. I like how they have an option to use the Classic models as well (I always prefer Classic over Reforged, so glad there's an option to revert a few of the changes). My only complaint is how they changed the lobby chat for custom games...

I do not understand why they keep pushing the "WC3 but with better graphics" meme when we already have HD graphics mod packs, they did what the community had done before but butchering the original character design in the process. Reforged HD units look like dogshit. Just re-release the original game but with better modding tools and let the community do the rest.

>>1035248 What is planned in the Death Wish update?

>>1037732 https://blood-wiki.org/index.php/Death_Wish

I am having some problems with Obsidian v20 "Gate of Tartarus", for some reason this program is not making enough ammo and health items on maps when I change the ammo and health amount to "plenty", does anybody know how to fix it?

>>1039542 Was it confirmed non-cucked? $45 is steep but if the devs are certified not-cucked I'll consider paying it to support them.

>>1039548 Try it here and make your own decision >>1014461

>>1039548 The game is packaged with two modes, the original game and RePop which changes the blood to purple sparkles and removed some of the sexual tidbits(the kinks in some character profiles, Nick's comment wishing he still has his penis when Juliet changes outfits). The licensed songs are gone for both modes for obvious reasons so posting the restoration mod again. https://www.mediafire.com/file/vl4vs8mwg6grsxc Also none of the original regional dlc outfits but 12 new ones.

>>1039381 If that's their goal it won't even work, Valve doesn't hire people unless they have considerable experience in the industry or are VERY talented, and Nuclear Monkey these guys are not. That was the studio behind Narbacular Drop, who would be hired by Valve to develop Portal

>>1039295 >They all praise the UE5 choice but cry about the performance/stability + requirements as if it had nothing to do with that decision. Performance and Stability aren't the biggest problems with UE5. The biggest problem is that it's a canned game engine that's dead simple to use. Anybody can learn it and slot into any development team who uses UE. That's part of it's appeal, but the flip side of that coin is that by abandoning in-house developed engines you end up with a generalized can of shit that can't really do what you need your game to do as well as you need it to. It also squeezes out talent, because it's hard work to create a game engine to spec for games that haven't been created yet - and having a studio full of people who know how to use your companies own proprietary game engine means you'll retain talent to a much greater degree and that talent will be more highly paid with better benefits. The whole reason why you're seeing such a push to unionize in game development now is because talent is being pushed out in favor of outsourcing development to a shitload of outsourcing studios - who themselves are getting pump and dumped as soon as the game ships. You don't see Unionization for high-skill labor, because those skillsets are themselves leverage against corporate mistreatment. You only see unionization take hold in low-skill jobs, which the game industry has largely become. Meanwhile we get very pretty AAA games that run like dogshit, play like dogshit, have dogshit consistency between assets/environments, are full of bugs, and are overall just sterile and lack any spark of creativity. A lot of people blame the publishers for that, and it's not like they don't bear a good measure of the blame - but this trend towards canned game engines and the flooding of the labor market with low-value employees is a major factor as well.

>>1039551 Would the move to canned game engines not be a result of publishers or the other financial backers refusing to fund the development of propriotry engines for their games as a time and cost saving measure? I would also argue that, if the answer to the question above is in the affirmative, the flooding of the studios with low skill employment may be a knock on effect of studios seek to pay their employees as little as possible and as such they shed all the talented developers to begin with. I mean I've heard stories about how the industry is nortorious for underpaying devs (especially the maths guys you really need to develop an engine) way under market value for the skills they have.

>>989782 >Dragon's Dogma 2 I've had considerable time to play the game and reflect on it, and the differences between 2 and the original. My final statement on it is that it is a poor sequel. It got rid of too many core components of the original that defined DD as a unique game to overlook. The gameplay, story, map, and music of 2 are somehow worse than a older game (many such cases). No DLC can save Dragon's Dogma 2.

>>1039570 it reeks of being unfinished and or rushed out by the publisher/bosses.

>>1039570 Its one step forward in some areas (combat, scaling enemies, bigger world, quests) and two step backwards (enemy variety, story, worldbuilding, retarded requirements). It ended up being diet MonHun. I'd be fine with nothing but good story and explaining the path of arisen but it doesn't even do that

So... does that mean we'll get the Dragon's Dogma we deserve even if it's called something else like... Drake's Defense, Leviathan's Lessons, Wyrm's Will or something like that.

>>1039195 What, two shitty companies with one of them being propped up with government money?

>>1039157 Yeah, DMC5:SE not coming to PC is insanity.
