and they keep wanting that hit more the next day

2018-10-20 21:56:11 UTC  

they can't play themselves into exhaustion

2018-10-20 21:56:13 UTC  

My ordeal is that I honestly like high-end graphics and big worlds

2018-10-20 21:56:28 UTC  

Discovery. Game as uncharted territory. 😉

2018-10-20 21:56:30 UTC  

big worlds

2018-10-20 21:56:30 UTC  

Hence, my mission is to make that stuff cheaper

2018-10-20 21:57:01 UTC  

@velvitonator i'm in a similar boat. although less graphics. which is why i like ubisoft games, despite me fully admitting their games are very very very similar these days,

2018-10-20 21:58:21 UTC  

the only way to make stuff cheaper is really to support smaller studios where you can

2018-10-20 21:58:24 UTC  

I think part of it is that we're right on the edge of the uncanny valley

2018-10-20 21:58:34 UTC  

let the bloat kill itself

2018-10-20 21:58:45 UTC  

Like, if you took your high-end renderer and animations systems and stuff

2018-10-20 21:58:54 UTC  

And used it to do less

2018-10-20 21:59:09 UTC  

Things would actually look worse than if you had a shittier renderer or animation system

2018-10-20 21:59:25 UTC  

I think smaller studios usually don't get it either, though

2018-10-20 21:59:38 UTC  

They either want to make Uncharted or whatever their favorite NES game was

2018-10-20 22:00:18 UTC  

Most of the small handful of small studios I _do_ know that are trying something else tend to be full of expat veterans from some large studio

2018-10-20 22:00:33 UTC  

And that sometimes has associated baggage

2018-10-20 22:01:11 UTC  

i go out of my way to search for small, unknown studios with a decent game.

2018-10-20 22:01:21 UTC  

Well Helleau Grenade 😛

2018-10-20 22:02:13 UTC  

Factorio is a great game, with good gameplay, that didn't focus on graphics

2018-10-20 22:02:32 UTC  

I _am_ a big fan of Dark Souls

2018-10-20 22:02:39 UTC  

It's never clear what exactly they spend money on

2018-10-20 22:02:48 UTC  

Dark Souls sucks ass 😛

2018-10-20 22:03:01 UTC  

ah, so you are a masochist

2018-10-20 22:03:03 UTC  

More DkS for me!

2018-10-20 22:03:15 UTC  

"let me roll around, record the boss's steps, and find that one built in flaw in his rotation" - The game

2018-10-20 22:03:36 UTC  

isn't that like old games like mega man?

2018-10-20 22:03:40 UTC  

Dirty secret: that's every enemy in video games

2018-10-20 22:03:49 UTC  

thats where you're wrong kiddo

2018-10-20 22:03:50 UTC  

😛

2018-10-20 22:04:05 UTC  

i dont have time for dark souls lol

2018-10-20 22:05:53 UTC  

naw but Dark souls really has that level of "at second 17 until second 20 of the boss's 30 second rotation is the only point where you can attack without getting hit"

2018-10-20 22:06:31 UTC  

sounds like you haven't played dark souls

bosses are not that scripted

2018-10-20 22:06:32 UTC  

and any other move kills you instantly

2018-10-20 22:06:44 UTC  

I have, and they really are 😛

2018-10-20 22:06:55 UTC  

i'm hyperbolic ofc, but its the gist of it

2018-10-20 22:07:13 UTC  

that is grossly hyperbolic

2018-10-20 22:07:33 UTC  

its not that hyperbolic

2018-10-20 22:08:04 UTC  

and at various health levels they change fight rotations/mechanics

2018-10-20 22:08:08 UTC  

a better complaint you could make is getting 4 phantoms to latch onto the bosses face while you smack it in the ass for 2 minutes before it's dead

2018-10-20 22:08:18 UTC  

dark souls isn't perfect
