Just found the Glitch World in Castle in the Darkness completely by accident lol, love this game. <3

So many nods and winks to old games we use to play back in the day.

 

[Grief.exe]

Happy birthday.
I also cast the summoning of Grief.EXE

I need a new headset, +100 points if it's XONE compatible, too, but I'll settle for PC alone. Preferably wireless if the latter ends up the case. I need suggestions. Which do you have? Which ones have you had and hated? Which one do you currently love?

Friends don't let friends use headsets on PC.

 

[The Dear Leader]

Does anyone have a video or guide on how to do all those rad gif-worthy moves in Resident Evil 6? I want to finally finish the game up but I'm just not very good at it and the combat doesn't seem to click with me.

So, I've conquered the first obstacle in my quest to play thiaf. To avoid a repeatable CTD when starting the game, all I had to do was boost Depth of Field quality up to high, because thiaf. Now I can actually utilise the glorious Mantle-enabled graphics thus fully enjoy the game.

Having completed RE6, I have my doubts those moves are even real. The game's incredibly janky and poorly explained, especially when considering how much money and manpower went into making it. The worst part is, RE6 is still left wishing it was even slightly as good as RE4.

Yeah it's no RE4, that's for sure. I'm definitely feeling the jank as well.

You guys need to play with me.
Do you not have The link to Neiteios post?
Also it's funny that at least for Re6 it's the only game I know where people are like "it needs a tutorial". When the usual argument is they aren't needed. To be fair the tutorial there is fucking laughably bad. Teaches you everything you don't need.

Also bringing up just purely action RE. The gameplay on 6 is leagues better than RE4. But that's just kind of expected. Gameplay in 5 is better than 4 as well.

Been a while since I played it but I think you can mostly just slide into enemies or headshot them to set them up for the suplexes and stuff.

Yeah the game still follows the stun and melee formula. But a lot of people seem to miss that since it's not over exaggerated like in 4&5

That's definitely something I'm going to read through, I'm trying to like this game but they don't make it easy.

Also like a lot of things. It's a lot more fun in coop. If you need someone I can play with you when I get back. I have that offer on the table for like everyone.dante81 is currently playing it on and off and I plan on joining his games as well.

The gameplay may be six times better... but the game design is not, so no one will ever know.

Resident Evil 4 understood how to compliment its mechanics with masterful design, resulting in an absolutely timeless classic. Resident Evil 6, by comparison, understands nothing about itself and thus falls flat at every possible opportunity.

Eh. Gameplay can make up for those shortcomings. Mercenaries along with certain areas and the story for the most part did for me as well. I still agree that 4 is better and that 6 is indeed hanky. But I still feel it gets shit on a bit too much when taken just for what is there. Though even here on GAF it seems it's slowly becoming more liked in a odd way. A lower price and lower expectations I guess are playing a part in that.

 

[rtcn63]

RE6 took three steps back with the castrated upgrade/skill system, the crossbar inventory where you can't even hotkey weapons, the boss fights that lack feedback and can sometimes be finished by AI characters without your help, oh and pretty much everyone suffering from PTSD. The previous two had a B-movie quality to them where as RE6 genuinely tried to take itself seriously, causing it to be completely and utterly forgettable.

The core combat was good (ignoring Chris' campaign, you were often better off running past the gross enemy hordes instead of trying to take them head on), which only make the knife twist that much more excruciating.

It's not terrible, but I can't accept it as anything other than disappointing/bad after the very same company produced RE4; my expectations were raised, for better or worse.

Marketing to gamers is actually very easy apparently. There are some decent options but most are overpriced for poor sound quality.

Into The War was quite the experience... no one was playing, so I hosted a lobby, then 2 people joined. Then I hit tab.. I don't know what I expected..

Daedalos said to right click and it worked... but then I did something where I could only move if the scoreboard was up, and if it wasn't up then I could move only after jumping, but couldn't shoot...

getting killed reset that tho

then I tried to double jump onto a big rock and clipped through it..

lol

War has changed.

Marketing to gamers is actually very easy apparently. There are some decent options but most are overpriced for poor sound quality.

oh.. I thought that was saying don't use headphones on the PC in toto, not ones that are marketed as "Gaming Headsets." Reminds me when someone swore up and down that their Monster HDMI cable was better than the one I paid $1 for... lel

Ya, the inventory is a bit of a pain after liking the weapon switching mechanic in 5. Currently going through the Chris campaign and the action amped up to 11 compared to Leon's. Can't say that I'm not enjoying it, though. It's like a sci-fi Die Hard game.

Each manufacturer/design house has their own internal naming scheme and it is simpler to use that system for consumer branding.

BMWs and graphics cards too.

Peugeot S.A.
Citroen
Mercedes-Benz
Audi
Lexus
Chinese car manufacturers.
Ferrari

It's not uncommon that a major manufacturer will use such naming schemes. Even companies that don't do that, like Honda, use LX/EX/EX-L or some other scheme to further identify the vehicle.

 

[crazyrabbits]

Yeah. Figured as much when I saw the WGN promotion. Sounded like the game was either a rush job or half-implemented, and someone realized that it wasn't going to sell. Thus they decided to flood the market with keys.

BMW actually used to have a naming scheme that made sense. 330i would be 3 series 3.0 liter engine. Ci for coupe, Xi for all wheel dreve. i would be fuel injected.
Nowadays, the 4 series coupe is actually a 3 series or something like that.

At least better than Lincoln a few years ago when the presenters at a conference forgot their model names.
