    I'm wondering how much is the engine, and how much is incompetent art team? like the water reflections are objectively better. ok. The old water splashes were low poly, etc.. but at least made it look like you were interacting with water. new one is just floating. look at the body submerged in...

    I think this "enhanced edition" is what has now convinced me Unreal 5 is shit. people aren't wrong.

    The Odyssey (2026)

    Ellen page is probably Tiresias. A man who came across two snakes fucking, and separated them. Hera the goddess of Motherhood, and marriage took offense. and turned him into a women. He became her priestess, got married and had kids as a woman. 7 years, of prostitution, and divine...

    also, just for the record. the magic is mostly total shit. Ice bridge seems like it could be neat. but, there is basically never a place where its actually all that useful. light spell, sometimes lights dark areas. most often just puts a glowing smoke trail in front of the camera so you can't...

    I uninstalled, and went to the same spot to take a screenshot. And taking some others, and then Im going to reinstall update to compare. I feel like the old grass was way more convincing. new plants and trees really stand out. they don't fit into the environments the same. Cloth seems to...

    The old CGI into was also far better then the new in game intro. Both visually, and the script.

    Conan Exiles

    I gave it a try. and really, I feel like im taking crazy pills. and it looks worse then before. new food/weight/etc icons also suck. old ones were color coded and easily read at a glance. new ones are just this lame as white circle, that all look the same. quest menu, and action tooltips are...

    looking closer at some of the notes. These are pretty big things not highlighted in that trailer well.

    Conan Exiles

    weird. Im not actually sold those visual "improvements" are actually better. honestly, the game looked great before. When they post shit like this and, "improved!" is it though? less windswept grass, and more random, visual clutter?

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    I think the term can be fairly vague. especially nowadays with "narratives", art, etc all being pretty integrated into game design. Anyone positively in the design process I think I would consider. art design, narrative design, included. like, if I was a work for hire, artist doing...

    Windrose (PC Pirate Survival Game)

    But seriously, I didn't like the combat system in the demo when I tried it much. enemies do hit hard. there is a block/parry system, which not really worth engaging with as far as I could tell in the early game. better to just attack fast to stun lock, then runaway and regen energy to engage...

    Palworld (Pokemon with Guns and Bukkake, minus the Bukkake)

    thats not really fair. its not blue sky innovation for sure. but it is putting together lots of pieces that are missing from the genre. Survival base builder, with "living" npcs. And automation. even the others that slowly are adding "living" settlers/minions/etc rarely have...

    Palworld (Pokemon with Guns and Bukkake, minus the Bukkake)

    yeah. i mean it was "24" claims. but basically was things like, "capturing creatures in a ball in a video game". That is the shit they were trying to claim copyright on.

    Palworld (Pokemon with Guns and Bukkake, minus the Bukkake)

    nah. as others have noted. remember its not even the art design that is in question. its "capture" mechanics. etc. and Nintendo has no legs to stand on. look at this. DragonQuest is FULL of creatures that could fit right into Pokemon. platypunk dragonquest 4. 1990...

    they did change his voice. I can't find anyone talking about this. but its seems pretty clear. Zachary Quinto does the voice of Robot. yes. But, when Rudy cloned Rex's body, they had Jason Mantzoukas doing the voice of Rudy, in young rex. ross Marquand did rex/robot in s4/ep1 He was the...

    Castlevania: Belmont's Curse

    yeah, Dedlit is fantastic. Two major notes. 1. its really short. painfully so honestly. its so well built... yet short. 2. its meant as a Coda to Record of Lodoss war. vid notes, "depicting the story of Deedlit and the events leading up to Record of Lodoss War: Diadem of the Covenant." it...

    Castlevania: Belmont's Curse

    thats weird to me, as thats exactly what this looks like. female protag, weird intro voice over by king of france that makes him sound like the real villian, and animated art style. Looks like its trying to ape on the Anime.

    The Legend of California

    oh huh. first views I thought it was a RDR clone. but its a survival base builder with voxel land gen? interesting. yes. the genre is now PACKED. massively oversaturated. but also most of them are not fully cooked. so, while its saturated, the genre is still waiting for someone to...

    Slay the Spire 2 - early access March 5th - four player coop confirmed

    im like 0-8 on the regent. I have no idea. star gen seems like a "no shit sherlock". but, in game never seem to have the cards when I need them. take too much poke and lose over time. I am an elite max'er. so that might be a problem. maybe I lean too much into elites. I also tend to aim for a...

    The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)

    hard to say exactly due to power creep, and author fiat. Classically, the Hulk by a pretty large margin. But even this was before Infinite angry Hulk. Hulks power creeped over the years with him getting stronger the more angry he is, with no known upper limit. Hulk also has regeneration...

    that is a really stupid take. Shit like that is how Bioware almost destroyed the rpg market. and, every turned based rpg turned into Diablo. "industry common knowledge" as they just listen to themselves and destroy the industry. some bioware lead decides no one wants turn based rpgs anymore...

    I think thats something that keeps me from enjoying card battlers too much. I like them, but burn out quick on them. M:TG has the same issue I think. I like deck building, playing wild, creative decks... but, card battlers/mtg are designed with hard counters. oh, you want to play that fun...

    If wildstar launched today, it would probably be a success. it really did hit at the wrong time. with the mmo market collapsing. and transitioning from subs to f2p. Firefall was a fantastic underlaying game, that was completely tanked by mismanagement. wasted money. studio head coming in...
