Damn this looks good

RE 2 Akuma Mode

Fanmade ocarina of time roguelike

quit but i have always had two big problems with lol

1) soloque isn't league, the game is balanced around 5v5 franchised pro teams to get sponsorships from state farm and mastercard

2) engagement based matchmaking, but not how everyone else complains about it. idc that it "keeps your winrate 50/50" or whatever. its the LP clamping that is the problem and has been since like season 2. it keeps you below your actual elo for ~300 games which with queues and dodging is 300 hours a season. so even if you are gold plat whatever it will keep you in the division below your actual rating unless you play 8 hours a day and then it just resets after however many months. this is to increase playtime and drive skin sales. they even hired psychologists and openly admitted designing the game to fuck with you because frustration counts as engagement

and thats why solo/duo is more like fantasy football or madden than an actual esport. taking it seriously as a competitive game with intent to improve is a mistake, which would be/is fine if you know that but that isn't how its marketed

>>45024
True. I talked about this here >>42127

Adding voice chat and making ranked flex the main queue would solve the first problem. True ELO would solve the second one. Riot doesn't want to fix these though. It's broken on purpose.

its just total ass to end every season with a 55% winrate in division one and losing promos 6 or 7 times in a row due to rng shitters ruining games. if you extrapolate out for a few hundred more games(hours) you would eventually win your promos and be sitting nicely at 50% winrate but it would probably just be because the other team got the shitters that game and a result of banging your head against a wall until it breaks not actually improvement. feels real bad and its not like there is a lack of shitters at higher ranks

Out of my way, Faker

just why?

>>44926
Why not? It's easily the most convenient for discussion between players.

i will wait for playable ainu

this. the UI is godawful and games buggy as hell but this is a good game. their best release since vicky2 and imho its not even close

>>45029

End of the day I think that's the basic take-away.

The game is fun to play and has a lot of potential but will need extensive patching for ui improvements, game balance & things just making sense.

I think it will probably take a few months for the later two and a year or so for the former.

t. OP

i feel like im just sitting afk for the first 100 years waiting for the real game to start

>>43713
Nope, you gotta wait for EUX for that.

Is it worth it to get one of these 8bitdo controllers over something like a ps5 controller for pc?

>>45007

only when it's not a PS controller tbh

i can make muscle memory of the button prompts but i associate the red button with O and when i see an X i think of the button in the bottom

i know where the Xbox buttons are but my brain still can still get confused in the heat of the game

>>45008
Yeah they're a fraction of the cost and they're pretty good

>>45008
I have one and it's basically the only way to have cheap controllers with more buttons than normal

>>45008
The dualsense is a garbage controller without hall effect or tmr, and it has a shit battery life. If you want a high polling rate and gyro you buy a more expensive third party controller.

>a series of games that was known to be great for satirizing, among other things, the corporate america Rockstar grew to be.
Shakedown Hawaii is a retro GTA clone that is better about this than GTA ever was.

literally every other mission is capitalist characters finding some new way to fuck up society for a quick buck

>>44993
Thanks for this

>>44822
It was always destined to happen because there's really no reason why Rockstar should be immune to the profit motive that drives the rest of corporate America.

The satire also got a lot softer as the series went on, the comic critique of America became a lot more American than that of Brits looking at the US from the outside. As in it became a lot more politicised in that really generic liberal "Late Night" way where republicans are all rednecks and democrats are all pretentious urbanites, whereas GTA 1, 2 and III scarcely mention politics at all because it's correctly treated as an irrelevancy in a blowing-up-police-helicopters Hollywood depiction of the US where the protagonist collecting prostitutes and ferrying them to a police ball, picking up stolen donkey porn and pictures of a morgue party involving the most influential businessman in the city, mincing people into dog food so someone can avoid their debts, etc are presented as reasonable jobs for a career criminal. In such a world, the trite bi-partisan politics of Washington DC simply don't matter, it's obviously not of importance in this virtual world where someone is causing enough carnage to get the frigging army after them and then escaping after repainting their car, but the question then is does it matter in the real world that still has powerful criminal gangs, mass shootings, and hookers a plenty?

>>45001
no problem :) glad you found it interesting

yeah i noticed the "late-night-libification" as well.

I am talking about building a pc compared to equivalent consoles

Only firstoids pc game

I'm sorry to inform you that the mobile phone is the one we use, crakkka.

Assuming renpy, don't describe, make characters talk instead, and use visuals instead of wordly descriptions. But that's assuming you have visuals to begin with

Plan out with flowcharts, i dunno. If it's twine, editor draws arrows to connected passages if those are ever mentioned in the code. Renpy works essentially the same. Maybe leave a default option for every passage that doesn't have any if elses

I wish I understood how this stuff works so I cold make a Sega Mega Drive game just because it's a cool console.

boomping with footage from the oldge project we were doing with my bf, i was doing about half the code but he remade all the code to be more modular, so the credit's for the fully functional turn system is his; we were actually doing great but half our staff, so like, other 3 people got reduced to only my bf and me again due to a couple of us calling sick a couple of times in a short span (we were actually sicklish for a bit there) but also because a couple of them were kind of young and found out this was a bit of a bigger project than they expected and since they were studying they decided to step out.

Also i got diagnosed with John Romero syndrome and i moved the goalpost so further away that we decided to CAN THE PROJECT AGAIN
and we gone back to the first project we had already canned

we will come back to this idea for a classic Fallout inspired project once we have more resources and we will probably salvage a lot of code if not all the code from this previous project but right now we will be doing a pvp game instead.

a part of this was also one of the reasons why we jumped from Godot to Unity and it's mostly because Godot is easier to code but it's harder to get the proper documentation at times and the Discord is kind of full of weird nerds who sperg out when trying to ask for help from them with literally anything, so support is kinda subpar for an engine at the moment and Unity is more documented and big enough for tutorials and probably with a smaller ratio of weird nerds looking for a reason to get upset to normal users community; we can't share much of the old project atm but i can show you a little playtest i did for something that i'd use for a grenade throwing mechanic.

also an animation of Tariq who was gonna be one of the protagonists his gun and a drawing of him (i made the drawing in 20 minutes before having lunch).

we wanna come back to this project but since we got left alone again we'd decided it's best if we do something more grounded for a 2-3 people team first; of course anyone is welcome to join us.

>>44988

a bit more little thingies about the project
we were gonna do simulated voxels til we made the calculations and realized having this many slices of sprites simulating voxels was probably heavier than just using low poly models again and that made me sadge.

so instead i decided to grab the original low poly models of the fishes instead and made a shader and script to randomize the instanced fish colors, it was fun.

can't wait to get to that again, but my bf recently got into a software development job for school practices and he's been showing me how to properly set up and start a project so we can get to our first prototype with everything properly documented and a clear scope of the goalpost so i don't move it again which is a good thing in these early stages of development.

if the body was too short why not take that as a hint you're making a dogshit thread?

game runs like shit. when it first came out i could barely run it on my 10 year old shitbox. with every update the performance has gotten worse.

I am guessing EU5 release is the final nail in the coffin.

>5k players is dead
most fighting games would kill to have that amount of players daily

It crashes my computer when I play as the UK/India because it's doing too much at once and I have an i9 CPU with 32GB RAM.

Blue pill me on this, do your choices really matter besides the romance?

Well I liked it… But also been shitposting on /v/ like I used to because of it.

No.

another reason the narrative didn't really work for me is the way the game presents the workplace environment. i comes off as if the writers genuinely believe some corporate propaganda. maybe one of the head writers held management position once and genuinely bought into all that team building corpo babble bullshit those types are trained to spout. solidarity might form between workers of teams like the zteam but would never include the middle manager. matter of fact animosity towards the manager is a big reason solidarity is formed between workers. so i just couldn't buy when robert would give inspirational speeches to the zteam and he wouldn't just be met with anger and eye rolling. if robert wanted to make himself one of the team he shouldn't have bought into the philosophy of 'the weak get culled' that his bosses convinced him to buy into.

but i don't know i'm making complaints about realism about a video game about super heroes
