Square Enix is doing some silly thing where the more people preorder the new Deus Ex the more stuff you unlock

With the final reward tier being the game releasing 4 days early

Sterno

The new one looks good and I really liked the last one, but preordering is for suckers

(I'll probably still end up preordering at some point, because I'm a sucker)

Honestly, they should just make CG movie

two bugs

I never beat Human Revolution. I really should. It was a good game. I just have a problem playing games that I like because I worry I'll miss something or whatever. It's stupid.

I really wish Pillars of Eternity had the song Eternity from Blue Dragon on it's sound track.

spugsley

@Yuuki oh yeah, I do see that now that you mention it

Sterno

7:04 PM

badp

@Sterno I have it installed but don't actually play it

The way it patches is just odd

@twobugs -1, lyrics

two bugs

@badp But those are the best part!

badp

Videogame music is great for being virtually 100% lyrics free. Maybe end credits can get away with lyrics.

oh I see. The game is slow as fuck so at least listening to the lyrics gives you something to do.

two bugs

I generally prefer instrumental music in my video games, but you can't top the lead singer from Deep Purple screaming incomprehensible stuff at you as you play a Dragon Quest knockoff

badp

Fairy Fencer F also has lyrics in its overrides-any-battle-and-boss-music limit break form battle theme thing, and it's... ugh.

I fought many battles without using the form so I could listen to the actual boss fight music.

two bugs

7:17 PM

@badp Really? It seems like most games do the opposite

badp

「Fairy Fencer F」 ~ "FULL CONTACT" 1st Henshin Theme (フェアライズ Theme)

two bugs

That is, they blast the music over any dialogue

badp

Warning: engrish

two bugs

I remember replaying sections trying to make out what the characters are saying because the sound balancing was so bad

badp

It's okay, the battle dialogue in this game is atrocious anyway

"MORE DATA?" "MORE DATA!" "HERE'S SOME GOOD DATA" "THAT WAS GOOD DATA"

two bugs

7:19 PM

Or like in Xenoblade where a certain group of character's has this ridiculous filter applied to only their in-battle voices

Rapitor

@badp that oughta be an advertisement, not a warning.

two bugs

So they sound normal outside of battle, but really weird and hard to understand during battle

Grace Note

Ohho, going into Fairy Fencer F now?

badp

@GraceNote beaten it, mostly disliked it

Sterno

My wife recently bought a bunch of zip ties. I don't know why. I'm afraid to ask.

Grace Note

7:24 PM

Not surprised. It... didn't hit quite like others from them

Which is possibly why they wanted to keep it in Japan, haha.

badp

I didn't really care for the ways the gameplay changed from the Rebirth formula

Grace Note

It might've made sense if they gave any advantage to doing anything other than launch -> follow

badp

Possibly the only gameplay improvement is making it so much easier to find the hidden item for the floor

In particular I hated the loss of the level-persistent HDD drive meter, which I hear V-II also got rid of.

GodEmperorDune

@Sterno any duct tape or just the zip ties?

Grace Note

Though I did like assassinating everything and everything.

Sterno

7:25 PM

@GodEmperorDune Well, we already had duct tape

badp

A persistent HDD meter means you need to build it through random garbage battles

Grace Note

I've been avoiding news on V-II

badp

...which means they serve as an actual buildup to the actual plot advancement bit at the end

If you don't do your homework as it were and rush too quickly through it you're gonna have a bad time.

GodEmperorDune

@Sterno sounds like you have the start of a lifetime movie on your hands

Grace Note

@badp Hah, wanna hear what it was like in the original mk2?

badp

7:26 PM

@GraceNote Please

Not having that meter means there was absolutely no reason not to rush through the end.

Random battles are just griding and a general waste of time.

Grace Note

(For the record, the original original didn't have gauges, you had pretty much no reason not to HDD other than not to wait for it to happen)

GodEmperorDune

That or she's doing some cabling work

badp

@GraceNote (The original original had horrible-looking gameplay)

Grace Note

You don't even know the 10th of it

badp

I've watched a longplay start to finish and even despite cutting through most of the grinding... ugh

Grace Note

7:28 PM

So in Mk2, a few things. First, your SP is capped at like, 300 I think it was

Skills cost less to begin with, and you generate SP by hitting things in combat.

BUT after any battle ends, you only keep up to 100 SP, ever, going into the next. Hard capped there. And when you start any map, you're at 0 SP

badp

@GraceNote uh, I spoiled myself the first few minutes of V (dunno if it was V or rebirth 3) and noticed that happening there too

Grace Note

V didn't do that

So if they went backwards for RB3 then I don't even know

badp

(speaking of, I missed the rebirth 3 closed beta application period by about 2 minutes)

(I mean the chances were abysmal anyway)

Grace Note

Anyway so HDD mode consumes 15 SP every turn

Rapitor

Fallout 4's level system explained

badp

7:31 PM

uhh... that sounds like a problem. What about EXE Drives? Those are dozens or hits.

I suppose they also cost a ton to use.

Grace Note

You didn't have EXE drives back then

badp

I think that in both rebirth 1 and 2 I only ran out of SP during HDD once

Grace Note

You just had skills that cost 200 SP that weren't actually differentiated.

badp

so... grind up to 215, HDD, 200 SP skill, rinse, repeat

Grace Note

(AND HALF OF THOSE WERE DLC TO BEGIN WITH)

Oh but then there was AP

badp

IF/Compa and DLC are... peculiar

mgs-5-the-phantom-pain

Grace Note

See, in RB1/2, you had CP that defined what attack combos you could equip, yeh?

badp

Yeah.

And in "mk0" you instead could equip whatever you wanted but each skill costed action points

run out of points and the turn is done

Grace Note

In Mk2, you had something called AP instead. You had no limit on what combos you could equip, but in battle, each combo attack costs its own AP cost

badp

except sometimes you could get extra points and whatnot

two bugs

7:34 PM

@Lazers2.0 Cool, spoilers(?) from an unreleased game

Grace Note

You get a fixed amount of AP per turn, plus some measure of bonus AP if you stockpile to an extent. This allowed you to do more attacks per turn if you stocked up enough AP, but it also meant that after that, not only did you destroy your speed in turn order, but you also are severely crippled in your next turn as you'll be back to crummy AP.

badp

I hope mk2 didn't also have the huge "here is every single possible x-o-square-triangle combination, now go bind everything" screen

two bugs

Oh, apparently not, nevermind. The game doesn't release until tomorrow though

Grace Note

@badp EX Finishers were defined by "You need to perform attacks in this sequence, and they must cost at least this much AP"

So for example you'd need to do like, Break -> Break -> Rush of a certain AP amount to perform a certain skill.

GodEmperorDune

@Rapitor that sounds both awesome and terrifying, when I think about all the grinding I will need to do to get to max level

badp

7:37 PM

It at least sounds a little more interesting than the weapon/attack "upgrade paths" of FFF

"Go pick the right weapon form for the right enemy, oh, and by the way, almost everything is weak to sword"

Rapitor

@GodEmperorDune there is no escaping the wasteland, Bethesda will make sure of this.

Grace Note

It's interesting. I liked it as a system.

It just was maddeningly limited.

FFF was... just kinda ugh in many ways.

badp

I dunno I felt like I had to scrounge up every WP point into extending my combo

oh you were talking about mk2's system.

Yeah, at least something like that forces you to do some tradeoffs between doing more damage consistently and being a four minute wizard

I probably would've forgone anything four minute wizardy, but...

GodEmperorDune

@Rapitor really what I need to do is stop collecting every single loose item and stashing it in my house

two bugs

@GodEmperorDune If you stop doing that it's no longer a Bethesda game

That would be like it having no bugs

GodEmperorDune

I'd embed it, but mobile

Rapitor

@twobugs wat

two bugs

@Rapitor Gamebryo is the engine that they used for Oblivion, Skyrim, FO3, and probably way more games

It's just... not a very good engine

Rapitor

oh yea, it's the same engine. Howard said that during the E3/gamescom, it's a forked version of oblivion's.

two bugs

Eh. I'd really like to see them take some of their huge piles of money and invest it in creating a custom engine more suited to their preferred style of game

Rapitor

that would take another 10 years

two bugs

7:45 PM

I don't think Gamebyro really works that well for first person games. The animation is pretty lackluster.

Rapitor

that's why you play FPS and not third person

two bugs

@Rapitor So it'll be done in time for TES7 and Fallout 6! I just think they should get started now

GodEmperorDune

FO3 looked fine in third person

two bugs

I thought the animations in every recent Bethesda game looked really bad up close and personal. The running felt more like sliding along the ground, for example

Rapitor

It's not a Bethesda game without laughable animations and bugs everywhere

two bugs

7:47 PM

Well yeah, but you'd hope with all the $$$$$$ they make they could fix that!

Same with From Software.

GodEmperorDune

@Rapitor those are Easter egg features

Rapitor

they pretty much burn through their budget on the scope and scales of the game

they are often too big for their own good, and F4 looks to be exactly the same in that regard

two bugs

That's always been my impression. They usually get a few celebrity VAs and then never really utilize them

Like Patrick Stewart. Liam Neeson was better used but still... you don't need a celebrity VA if it takes up that much budget. You just need good VAs.

Rapitor

in other news... new XB1 "elite" console comes with 1TB SSHD and that weird new controller

i don't care about the controller, but that SSHD. damn. that will improve the speed/load times of everything.

considering everything else, that's really cheap too

Q: Why are the turrets in the Universal Brotherhood shooting at me?

I want to get into the Inner Sanctum. I've got a keycard that should give me access, as well as a uniform. They're also welcoming me when I get close. However, as I step forward to actually go in, I'm automatically sent into combat and the turrets try to kill me. What am I doing wrong?

shadowrun-returns

two bugs

Oh, that makes more sense then.

Rapitor

7:55 PM

additionally, multiplayer load times are already very varied, as some people use external drives. which all have their own load times

two bugs

Well, if the performance boost ends up being significant I may get an external SDD to use with my Xbox One (assuming prices aren't ridiculous)

@Rapitor Right, but I just don't see introducing a fast option as that big of a deal if you're still going to be waiting on the guy who is running it off floppies

Also, I've seen some benchmarks for console games with SSDs and I wasn't very impressed with the performance gains

SaintWacko

@twobugs "Hang on, guys, I need to pop in disc two of forty!"

two bugs

I mean, maybe the opposite will happen. Maybe the SSD stuff will catch on enough to point where people try to avoid playing with slow loaders

That happened in FF14. People tried to avoid PS3 users because of how slow they were with even skippable cutscenes

Rapitor

I think having the SSHD built into the console instead of using an external SSD will probably make a difference, I'm not sure how it all works, but USB 3.0 could be a bottleneck for something that fast

two bugs

Clicker Heroes mobile has an option where you can watch an ad for 100% bonus gold for 4 hours

That seems... pretty broken.

You can do it back to back, too.

I guess that's the tradeoff for not being able to clickbot as easily.

Rapitor

8:13 PM

are there even clickbots

the mobile page said there is multiplayer, but I can't find it. do you have to clear a certain level?

two bugs

I don't know, I haven't found anything about multiplayer yet.

I assume there are clickbots for the android version at least. Simulating clicks doesn't seem like a particularly difficult thing to do (but it's been a long time since I fooled around with android development)

GodEmperorDune

Bonus gold for 4 hours for watching an ad is same thing adventure capitalist does on mobile

two bugs

@Rapitor Can you really obtain Etheric Light without the expansions in Destiny? It's marked as an expansion item

Rapitor

@twobugs only though RNGesus and iron banner(provided the maps/modes arent dlc)

I thought you needed the expansions to loot any of the marked items

Rapitor

you could be right, I haven't played enough to confirm if i can't get it, and i don't really want to try lol

Sterno

Using a clickbot on a clicker games seems so entirely pointless.

Play Progress Quest instead

using an autoclicker just lets you hit the other buttons more

@spugsley I found that water can be much colder than I thought after Canyoning a while ago. The streams in the mountains get really, really cold. You have a Neopren suit of course, staying in there without just wouldn't work

@Chippies That's pretty much the lenses I had for my first SLR, the big zoom is nice, but you're always low on light and there are many situations where it doesn't work.

@Chippies To be fair, I find myself mostly using my 55-250 over the 18-55. I love super-zoomed in shots

Chippies

I just wish they'd make a lens that can go from wide angle to super zoom with a very big aperture for less than 1000$

spugsley

@MadScientist I actually sold my crop body zoom. I got it for free as a Christmas deal. Had it for two years, never used it once

fredley

@Chippies hahahahaha

Chippies

@fredley same, but the 18-55 is nice for landscapes and sunsets

Mad Scientist

@Chippies You're off one or two orders of magnitude in price, and probably violating all the laws of physics as well

@Chippies Yeah, true.

@MadScientist the customer is always right! Get the engineers workin'!

But heck, id rather be living in Denali than Denial folks. You know, about 50 years before Griffin I seem to recall another young, charismatic leader in Washington who was replaced because of a dubious, unproven head injury. And the Lions got off so many shots against Griffin in such a short amount of time I was wondering if Detroits playbook had been chec…
