games

their falling corpses even block arrows

lmfao

okay this game is SO chinky its insane

its a lot of small stuff too

i think a lot of the stuff is going to fly over peoples heads

like the pills (elixers) which are just ground up medicene balls, and a really really common thing in chinese folklore where the greatest of these pills gives you super extended life or other buffs

Ultra divine water

usually in novels where qi/chi is a thing theyll say "oh this pill gives you 1000 years worth of qi!!!"

etc.

also the fuck did you mean by this did i miss some collectible EVERYWHERE?

the average wyteperson wouldnt understand that yang = ice/cold

ah hell nah

Starfield graphics

that in the corner of the screen]

with depth of field

they're teasing redfall 2

hope you're excited

Did they ever go back and fix redfall?

is this the "fallout new vegas x prey"

game

hes been shilling hard

probably, I knew they were working on *something*

but wasn't following closely

like last month he shilled really hard

"ITS LIKE PREY X FALLOUT NEW VEGAS IN TERMS OF DESIGN AND SCOPE"

yeah his twitter is just full of "hey remember me, I founded Arkane, me and the C team are going to shock the world"

they're showing it off at Gamescom to publishers, and I'll actually believe him that they don't have a deal yet

so there's a funny timeline where he spins up a kickstarter next week

i think someone will pick it up

studio is ~20 employees

so tbh, a kickstarter is possible they probably need to raise 18 months of funding

hello

hey Bob

what's up

oh right, the gamescom stream starts in 2 hours

it took me about 12-13 hours to 100% (i think) stages 1 and 2 and get their secret levels if the game is 6? acts based on the big ass wheel

i think 40 hours is probably right

are there big chapter breaks Max?

chapters just teleport you to an entirely differnet zone

and you can tp back to the old zone

infact you have to tp back for a secret i found

is exploring worth it?

uh

in your opinion

the hidden bosses are hit or miss

in terms of fun, not gameplay

ok

i mean the exploring is like

very much so baked into just walking around

the second area has two ways to reach the final boss

lol

so you can just kinda aimlessly walk around and youll end up there

its linear but also free form

yeah but, in my (limited) playtime, exporing felt like I clear out all the fodder mobs, and then do 2-3 passes sprinting around the level

seeing if there were any alcoves or elevation changes

i have never felt the need to do passes sprinting around

that might have had a secret

im pretty sure i have found every secret just

walking in a direction

and making sure i explor3ed every corner

rather than looking for crevices

theyre very kind in that regard

I found lots of secondary paths through levels, but very few actual secrets

tbf

not once when i looked in a crevice or something was there anything worth time

yes

(which i like)

I don't think my strat actually found me anything

you can just kinda go through all the paths

i did not retread ground once

theres bosses you will miss if you just beeline the boss though

and chapter 2 has 2 very weird ass bosses that you can miss if you dont look around/interact with the random key items you get

and then i think every single chapter has a secret area

I'll keep an eye out
