    VR Gaming - Oculus Rift, Playstation VR, HTC Vive

    VR space combat sims are going to be sweet, but a key problem with VR space sim right now is that so much of the time is spent looking at objects super far from you, so the low angular resolution (Due to massive FOV) of VR headsets make everything look low-detail. I was really disappointed...

    Kenshi - A Sandbox RPG

    Good, it really is a gem of a game that I'm hoping gets a lot more traciton both so the devs get properly rewarded (and support the game longterm) and also so similar sandbox style games get made.

    I dunno how you can say, "Is that it?" to a game this massive that was built by like 5 dudes.

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Greece)

    I think exactly zero people would mind if AC:Odyssey had zero modern content.

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Greece)

    fwiw as someone who played all the AC games when they were released, the future scenes in AC1 and the three ezio AC games were very engaging and enjoyable. But after you finish the Ezio trilogy, you're kind of done with the future bullshit.

    Death of a Game - Everquest franchise

    No. EQ is a text-based game with a graphical front-end. Even in 2018 nearly everything in it is text + abilities/spells. The graphics wouldn't add much.

    Death of a Game - Everquest franchise

    Part of the problem with this is that if you don't force players to group with each other, and instead motivate them (ex: by having separate solo/group progression) then they will just solo and find the thing boring because they're missing the whole point.

    Kenshi - A Sandbox RPG

    So, there are fundamentally two different ways to play kenshi: 1. Figure out all the shit for yourself with no outside information. 2. Look up optimal ways to do things, learn from other people and then execute a sensible strategy. Obviously people fall somewhere in between. But Kenshi isn't...

    Kenshi - A Sandbox RPG

    This is basically what I do at the start too, just I do it with 5-10 teammates. This makes carrying gear from corpses to vendor much more effective. I do wish that I chose to be a thief at the game start though, because you need those skills later and I think it could've been lucrative in the...

    Kenshi - A Sandbox RPG

    One way to start is get a 5-10 man team equipped in basic gear, food and enough fighting ability to take on hungry bandits and those dog creatures. It's not trivial to achieve this.

    That sucks. I got one crash in like 60 hours, most of those hours in long (10+ hour) sessions.

    Death of a Game - Everquest franchise

    DBG botched the latest expansion by gating 90% of the content behind some Aristo designed (aka puzzle-combat style) missions. For the last few (since underfoot?) expansions people could come in and just bumble their way through with shitty groups or just them and their merc. Now they're getting...

    Death of a Game - Everquest franchise

    Here's a good representation of the sprawl. And this kind of sprawl is just repeated for all the game mechanics. It's actually one of the reasons why I love the game so much. There's so much shit layered in the game that the knowledge base is a stratification where few people experienced...

    Death of a Game - Everquest franchise

    I feel intensely uncomfortable anytime there is a "cutscene" (NPCs spawning and talking to eachother in the real world...) in EQ. Especially with epic quests where you just handed an NPC an item and aren't sure if this dirty ass engine running old oil code is going to misfire and you're going to...

    Death of a Game - Everquest franchise

    TBH I don't get why they don't reuse zones even more. I don't know if the artists in 2002 were just better staffed or more talented or more in-tune with creating interesting, better playing zones but in the last few expansions I liked the re-used zones better than the new ones. Maybe it really...

    Death of a Game - Everquest franchise

    EQ will exist in 2021, it's just a question of what form. DBG is pioneering how cheaply they can make these expansions and still retain customers and the answer is extremely cheap.

    I boxed a shaman in WoW during WotLK with this. Windows had just come out with a new voice recognition software and I had just watched Ironman. It was pretty terrible, way better to hit buttons on a keyboard than wait for the latency of speaking + recognition. Plus I got tired of yelling frost...

    Death of a Game - Everquest franchise

    I bet DBG bought 90% of those lifetime subs after purchases trailed off and now are re-releasing it when they found they're numbers are just a tiny smidge less than what they need to hit for some arbitrary end of the year sales figure.

    Autonomous Systems

    What you said is one of the principle ways Musk says that he'll make it cheaper (make it smaller and allow the TBM to bore as much as it can instead of waiting around for spoil). The other principle ways is, "Just do it better than the bunch of losers doing it now." The first way makes sense...

    But seriously, there is only really one big technical question with the Boring Company and that's how cheap Elon can get boring + tunnel construction. If he can reduce it nearly as much as he says he can, everything else will fall into place.

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    At low/mid levels, focus on the main quests at a time, as in, do them one at a time. I did the one for the tree lady first because that lets me tame drakes or something. At high levels,you get so much XP from everything it doesn't really matter what you do, but conquests give a lot of XP. But...

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    The online conquest leveling system is pretty simple. Your assault rating determines how tough the forts you attack are, so you'll rank up every time you win. You usually have to get gold ratings like 5x in a row before running into high level forts, so if you've got a low assault rating and run...

    I don't disagree with your point about thermal expansion and tunnels, but the purpose of the boring company is to: 1. Fill a current need that exists. 2. Make $$$. 3. Improve boring tech that will be useful for a Mars base. The hyperloop thing is like, a distant second to all of that...

    Too bad they didn't get the steer tracking done in time, the bumpy ride from the rail system is such a fixable problem that is going to taint it for a lot of people.

    Agree 💯. The departure doesnt even make sense from a game play standpoint because the post storyline game feels flat without celebrimbor.

    Not really, setting it all up and executing it is a ton of fun. It's like a huge rube goldberg machine that I need to focus 100% on if I want to survive, but when it all works it's beautiful. Besides, I just come back when new content comes out, play it and go do other stuff. I'm not one of the...
