It didn’t. We used to have external tools for that.

This APM business is the usual “higher numbers = better number” nonsense people love. The only reason to measure your APM is during training for a certain level of play, when you have actual data from people playing at your level. A high APM doesn’t mean anything by itself. If you beat your opponent and you have only…

Did Gilly almost tell Sam one of the best kept secrets of Westeros and he didn’t listen?

I re-read the conversation and I indeed got it wrong. Midnight reading on a phone. Have a nice day.

Your hostile attitude is a good example of what’s going wrong with talking about games, toxicity in video game communities keeps meaningful discussions at a minimum. If you have nothing to say, you chain up insults. Nice.

It’s not something I don’t think I like. it’s something I don’t like. It’s silly to me. You’re barking up the wrong tree with that post. I find it refreshing, even if I find it silly. I understand it’s purpose and I find the implentation stupid. It’s the kind of overreach in game mechanics I really don’t enjoy,…

In as far as it looked great sitting on my shelf, yes.

I probably would have beaten the game, if I hadn’t sold my PS4. It was an entertaining rinse-repeat experience.

If “Actual Environmental Storytelling” means enemies opening fire at you without warning, then many games have

Everything that’s not Duke Nukum and Dirty Harry is homoerotic these days, all the while other people complain about how games have to be manly-man-man with hyper sexualized protagonists and how destructive this is for the children nobody thought of. There is no middle ground between gay and sexists anymore, only…

I you didn’t have all the other menus before, you’d fit in that XS shirt.

That frees up a lot of time I otherwise would have spent playing this game. Hooray.

The game is short and easy. I have scanned the Steam review section for instances of deleted save files and haven’t found any. I’d say this is a weird marketing stunt, nothing more.

It’s like your 14 years old trying something new by snorting ground tic-tacs after three months of smoking weed. It sure is no on-disc-DLC or DRM that requires you to sacrifice your first born to a pine tree, but it sure is silly.

I don’t think your explanation was necessary. Those games don’t have permadeath, but the combat is rather difficult to master. If people make no-death-runs in Dark Souls, so I presume wpw’s post, then why should an easy game have such a feature?

I don’t know of a single game that just more or less randomly deletes your save file.

Unfortunately, I wouldn’t believe pcgamesn if they claimed rain was wet. They are not exactly famous for the accuracy of their information.

Permadeath is one thing, but this is mechanical FUD. You don’t know how it works and I’m not sure finding out how it works is more than a trial and error grind. It can happen to you at any time.

After having a dip into the game, “points for trying” is the only thing Ninja Theory will be accumulating, besides the stunning visuals, of course.

Yep, all three. Especially DMC was a real disappointment. It took a next-gen remaster to at least introduce the difficulty of the original DMC.
