“LawBreakers was a great game that unfortunately failed to gain traction, and, in a last-ditch attempt we scrambled to do our take on the huge battle royale genre with Radical Heights which was well received, however, it was too little too late” (from his note)

How’s Mister Fahey doing?

is best pc from dollar general. has sony guts. you like.

So that’s why the PS4 version has even worse timing than the PS version. Might also be digital delay, but emulator’s going to mess with it too since the game is so goddamn picky about hitting the right frame.

Yeah, I’m not alleging fraud or evil, just that they had no idea what they were doing. Which is why you don’t crowdfund tech gadgets unless the people running it have a long record of shipping products. And even then you better think long and hard about risks.

If you go look at reviews of a random game (I just clicked on https://store.steampowered.com/app/696530/Lake_Ridden/) the reviews are usually pretty well written, if conversational and sometimes memeridden.

If you read the whole thing there’s a whole lot of incompetence in execution going on for what was sold as a finished, shippable design. The batteries weren’t the only issue.

Big Red Flag #1: IndieGoGo. For when you’re even too shady for Kickstarter.

I’m not surprised MS is still wallowing in internal red tape and inertia. This probably triggered a minimum of 20 meetings up and down the chain where the engineers and the marketers and the lawyers argue about every single word of whatever the new thing is going to say. ‘It all depends what you mean by ‘Is’, Bob.’

If you’re owned by a shady Russian mafia oligarch, then there is going to be a connection to the Trump campaign - it’s not all that weird!

My guess, having been there, is that they just logged every URL for POSTs and GETs, and every parameter for POSTs (for non-web devs, whenever you enter something into a field on a webpage and hit the ‘go’ button, that’s a POST, and all the field names and values are POST parameters).

Every time a troll shows up: Rage mode, beat the shit out of them (doesn’t take much in rage mode), boom. It’s not a waste of rage because after a certain point you only need rage for the occasional rare Valkyrie.

And when he does his monkey leech move when you start climbing, hopping on your back from halfway across the room.

I tried new GoW in performance mode and in visual enhancement mode (whatever they call it) and never looked back - performance mode rules. Resolution mode did look a teeny bit better, but the game looks gorgeous enough anyhow.

Hunter x Hunter is confusing just because the author has no idea what he’s doing at this point or rather just doesn’t care (though he did some great manga long ago). ‘I’ll just draw some pretty boys, then they’ll fight. Or maybe I’ll call in sick again this week.’

I’ve found that your self-induced crunch is much less soul destroying than company mandated crunch.

Farbauti (who Kratos is standing in for) only has sons, though the game is loose enough with the mythology they could say to hell with that anyway... Atreus/Loki has a daughter, though - Hel.

Loki is Laufey’s daughter (which the game touches on, Faye being another alias). There’s not much consensus on which race she is, though it leans towards Jotunn, so Jotunn works.

Okay, those last two are the first major (though shippable) bugs I’ve heard of. I kept expecting to fall through the ground just because that’s such a common bug.

I would still love the patch list too. Just to see what it was.
