Wrong, they didn`t do that, that was a common misinformation they corrected months ago....ML was just used for the animations.
I do like souls enemy design vastly more, but in terms of the qualities i search in videogame enemies? The clankers are so much more evolved and fun to fight it's not even funny, at least for me.
Nope. Each run helps you achieve your long term goal. They all build to the larger player written narrative. It's brilliant.
You can make too many different choices mid run to call it linear. Uncharted 2 is linear narrative. ARC Raiders is not.
The story is not "window dressing". The story is brought to the forefront. The player no longer has to sit passively and watch someone else's story, they can insert as the protagonist of their own story. It's what videogames does best.
There is literally multiple videos where they show the enemies learning how to move in the locations but i haven't followed the game in the past months so if they corrected their statement then you must be right.
They should analyse the transcribed VoIP conversation that went one before the first shot was fired.
I'll do THAT Avatar bet.
Destiny 2 released 10 years ago, is in a death spiral, just announced they're delaying the next expansion by 2 months, and they're still peaking at 10k people a day. Again, the game is palliative at this point.
I don't think anyone has said the game is dead or dying. But the game has consistently been selling a ton since launch. The player churn is high otherwise the CCU would be going up not down.
I never even watched the dude but the 2 friends from work I play with are obsessed with all that streamer and influencer sub culture trash, and are always referring to him when we play.
Arc has good AI?Don't get me wrong, i also prefer fighting humans\monsters, but i'm a sucker for good enemy AI and these are some of the most intelligent enemies you are ever gonna find in a videogame, using machine learning to fix common pathways problems was a stroke of genius that should be used in any videogame in existence, like even tetris
Yes it does. It's one of the highlights of the game.
not always, but more often than not, especially the flying drones.
Yup.
It's not left the steam top sellers since launch. Seems fairly logical to me.
Considering you're laugh reacting at everything regarding it I guess you disagree, lol. But it was talked about as if it was something pretty unique compared to other games.
That article is from before the game launched and before the Devs clarified where ml was actually used.
Because there were various articles and even developer videos about it? So, regardless if it made it in or not, there are a lot of people with the impressions that it IS there.
It gives off the impression of a believable robot hunting you down rather than an NPC following a set path or set of instructions. The illusion can be broken for sure but its an impressive illusion none the less.
And it's been officially clarified to be utter bullshit months ago... So why do you voluntarily keep spreading nonsense?
I played the game for about 40 hours and sorry I simply can't agree. You can cheese wasps and hornets with a simple tree, and the big arcs become dumb pinatas the moment you have any cover you can strafe in and out of.
Spreading nonsense? Relax, lol. Clearly I wasn't "in the know", you're the first person I've heard/read say all this.
I played it for around 500 hours and I respectfully stand by my statement.
Dude, the ml stuff was clarified by the Devs months ago...
I was trying to cheese the leaper at the enclosed stairwell doorway next to water treatment elevator on battlegrounds and after a while it went around back, flung itself on top and somehow wormed its way through the skylight to chase me down the hallways.
clarky
said above, the Arc consistently give off the impression of robots genuinely trying to hunt me down instead of some dumb pathfinding algorithm like 99% of games. It's so devoid of scripted bullshit and the kind of AI behaviors we've seen a thousand times before. It's really something special. Just because no-lifer streamers and r*dditors figure out ways to break the game sometimes doesn't change that.
There are a ton of "easy kill" videos, heck you can kill pretty much everything by just strafing in and out of cover since that's conveniently indestructible...
I believe it, appreciate the details! I tried Arc Raiders for a few hours and just accepted that it wasn't for me. But I applauded Embark regardless as I could see the game's quality.I was trying to cheese the leaper at the enclosed stairwell doorway next to water treatment elevator on battlegrounds and after a while it went around back, flung itself on top and somehow wormed its way through the skylight to chase me down the hallways.
Sure, some of AI behavior claims got exaggerated to the point Embark had to come out and clarify how and where they applied the reinforcement training to Arc behavior, but it's still like nothing else I've ever played. Like
Theres a lot of reasons as to why this game is so popular and one of the main reasons is the Arc are so fun to fight.
Killing big relatively helpless pinatas isn't my idea of fun but I understand that taste varies.
How did you get from "this outstandingly intelligent ai can't be cheesed! Fake news!" to " don't cheese the stupid AI, that's boring after all"......
Uh ..okay. I guess
I thought the game would die out because 9 to 5 dads wouldn't want to waste their precious spare time playing a game where they can end up with nothing.
But what exactly makes it fantastic? I´ve yet to hear something objective besides "It feels real".
He was a good man!In other news my brother has change his screen name to Jeffrey Epstein.
You should see the private messages we get. This is one of the gems just now.
