Since a lot of time has passed since the old thread was made and all the old servers apparently got nuked by the hosting service, I have decided to create a new one on the Aternos account that I have registered back in the Bunkerchan days. Just like the previous one, it runs on one of the newer versions (1.19.2) of the game with a simple custom modpack that contains tech mods like Mekanism and the Thermal series, as well as some that add new elements to the game world as a whole such as Biomes O' Plenty and Aquaculture. Some previous additions like Pam's Harvestcraft and Chisel had to be pruned however due to lack of a 1.19.x version or being too resource extensive.

Instructions on entering the new server:
>Download UltimMC https://nightly.link/UltimMC/Launcher/workflows/main/develop
>Download the modpack https://dataism-x.com/en/9CWhhbQkwZ5DYFS/file
>Extract the UltimMC archive anywhere you like
>Launch UltimMC
>Create an account record in the UltimMC accounts section in top right (no Microsoft account required)
>Install the modpack through Add instance > Import from .zip
>Launch the newly "LeftyCraft" created instance
>Add “leftycraftreborn.aternos.me” into your server list and join the game

To start up the server in case it is down:
>Log into aternos.org with account “leftypoluser” (password: solidarityforever)
>Press the “Start” button

I am fervently unqualified to say anything about cgi but I have a term I like to call natural contrast. Basically it’s the idea that the colour variation of most levels should general adhere strongly to a single colour at a time because most of the light is coming only from one source whose frequency naturally shouldn’t change(unless it’s like exciting a material but even then you don’t need to go that deep with graphics).


When natural contrast is prioritized sets look boring but not visually overloading to the player but when it’s ignored it’s very distracting

They basically remade the Morrowind engine from its precursor without any of Bethesda's original source code. Best of all, it is somehow even more stable and extensible than the original, especially with the shader and script support in recent versions and upcoming dehardcoding of gameplay mechanics as well as support for .bsa and .nif formats of future games.
Btw, if anyone wants a point to get started with OpenMW, there is modding-openmw.com that got various modlists for either quick modding, complete overhaul of the game or simply a better looking vanilla experience.

Also do not forget how they cut down the varieties of Daedra in Skyrim. Not including Scamps and Hungers is a downright criminal offense.

The point is the tragedy he is trying to resolve exists in his head. Yes, job hunting should be his priority, because he is chasing ghosts.

I understand that is what the game was trying to say, but it decided that the narrative stand-in for Alex being a self-absorbed asshole should be a selfless act. That just does not work. At the end, Alex does not change in any way, you just keep going as you did the whole game.

These both are kinda the fault of the tolkein state being really meager with their licenses. it's obvious that amazon wanted to adapt the silmarillion, yet they only managed to get the ok to adapt a shitty LotR prequel. and nobody seriously sets out to make a game about an impotent, mentally broken little goblin unless the tolkein estate only allows you to use gollum for your upcoming officially licensed LotR game.

What's even the point? I get porky wants to maximize the hecking profits but they're not making a single cent off the 3DS anymore. I doubt there's a significant amount of people who own a 3DS but don't want to get a Switch.

There are R4 equivalents for the 3ds, you don't need CFW to do piracy. CFW is a better option but not the only one.

For bethesdas first real shooter this actually turned out to be a pretty good game on a such a “dated” engine. Yet things like real time shadowing for objects, actors and items is fully possible, the team did have cinematic camera animations(admittedly for first person but there’s some rare 3rd person ones aswell). They even got a pseudo train by attaching a train to an NPCs head which just makes me ask, how much of the constraints behind this engine really a victim of its age and how much of this was to avoid save bloat and wasting time before release?

They upgraded the graphics and animations I’ll give them that but the physics and ai is cartoonishly bad.

I think the physics will improve from starfield due to flight mechanics and new updates but the ai for me is expected to stay the same ignoring scripted encounters

This PMG video is fleshing out the side of the ZA/UM employees who claim the creative leads (Rostov, Kurvitz, Hindpere) were difficult to work with.

This attempt to "both sides" two different arguments (This Company Was Stolen Illegally/Robert Kurvitz Is A Bad Boss Who Needed to Be Fired) have lead to people proclaiming both sides are shitty, and to be sure, Kurvitz definitely comes across as shitty, if not also somewhat sympathetic.

To me anyway, the issue has always been them stealing the company thru shady financial fuckery, not about the moral character of Robert Kurvitz. That is something he needs to work out with his fellow workers, not have that be the opposite side of "These people are financial criminals".

Whether or not we get a DE2 (and I don't think I'd want one given the circumstances), it's not right the dude got his life's work swiped from under him.

It's BotW with way more actual content. In particular the side quests are much more in line with the Zelda series. The dungeons are lackluster but probably due to casualization.'

It's a plot device. Comparing it to the BFG is silly. It's more like a key (like the rest of the items) for the specific lock of sealing Ganon.

That's how it worked in BotW. It was a mid weapon normally but then mid-high tier specifically when fighting guardians or Ganon.

Yeah I know all the weapons are treated like consumables in these last two Zeldas. Still I feel it's quite hilarious that Zelda charged that shit for thousands of years and it needs to take a break to recharge after a few dozen hits. Make it a boss fight only weapon then, so that it looks less bitchmade.
Other than that I am enjoying the game, played like 40 hours already, while all my BotW attempts ended before 20.

This is my case as well I only managed to beat one of the Divine beasts, with Link's Fish Fiancé being put to peace with the help of Sidon how was one of my favorites in the game. ToTK I have spent a lot more time playing because it actually feels fleshed out, and you see the active rebuilding of the Hyrule after the Calamity and they are trying to move on from it.

Side quests feel more fleshed out with some puzzle elements for those that are needing of it. While also paying attention to dialogue like the older games to get the sweet rewards that aren't trash. Which made the Exploration more fun and now having access to the sky and underground just made things more interesting.

 No.28095

>>28094
There are some small details like NPCs reacting in dialogue depending on weather/time of day. Also pretty much every one of them will tell you something useful or give some sort of hint. They did a good job with that.
As far as rewards yes, especially armor is nice to find, but even something like a bomb flower feels nice because you can always put it to good use. And gluing shit together is much cooler than making fucking ice blocks.

i remember seeing comparisons between this game and trove back around 10-8 or a little less years ago, but i never really played it until 2019 which is when a version of it released on steam

there was an official steam release in 2019 but it was controversial and people didn't like it very much. basically the creators made it so that levelling was removed from the game and progress was reset when you move out of regions, so your progress is locked inside of a region, if you move your character out of a region in the game you lose your items and stuff and have to restart from zero but if you go back in that region your stuff that you got inside of that region comes back. i personally played it and i think it wasn't that bad despite its flaws but the original alpha version was obviously much better, and it is repetitive to constantly have to restart from zero in the game after completing the content in a region

the creator got bullied off the internet from the backlash of the update, and only came back a few days ago to post this update to the game which we don't know much about yet
