    Valkyria Chronicles IV

    I think i found better analogy. It is like Forest Gump. It's how the story is told and not what the story is all about.

    Valkyria Chronicles IV

    It's not and never was gritty war drama though it sometimes meanders into that direction. It is really hard to explain the theme because VC1 theme is really special and part of the reason why game is revered. I'm yet to play single game that replicated this theme. It's like trying to explain to...

    Valkyria Chronicles IV

    No, the story of first one is about biology student who comes back to his hometown after his father death and gets involved in war which he doesn't like. Despite jigonistic hook of boxart it is more of a journey story is same sense The Legend of Galactic heroes was something more than just war...

    Valkyria Chronicles IV

    1st and 4th yes. 2 and 3 no. You should play 1st and then 4th. 4th was made to sequel to 1st game technically, design wise etc. but with different story. Writing quality it is more comparable to something like 80-90 anime rather than current meh. Story is one of the stronger aspects of 1st game.

    Outer Wilds - outer space camping trip game

    My issue is that puzzle and exploration usually don't mix well. IT takes special kind of mystery to move it forward in order for it not to be contrived. It's a general problem with adventure games in general. With a good hook aka the mystery you can have contrived puzzles and logic like in...

    Vapourware Scam Citizen - Only people with too much money can become StarCitizens! WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE?

    Come on. This time elevators work... most of the time. edit: Scratch that. This is 3.22 when free flight will happen will be 3.23 which in unknown and has big core tech in it (replication layer) that will probably break stuff again for good while.

    Vapourware Scam Citizen - Only people with too much money can become StarCitizens! WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE?

    In case you didn't get it. I never spent on SC anything (aside from 1$ i spent to get access into PTU cause i like watching game tech). I considered pledging support back when they started crowdfunding on their site and i even had my CC ready to be charged on their site filled but the site...

    Yes. Myobi time, as i will nag him again to try playing with him in free flight week and watch him bug out or crash immediately uninstalling game going back to thread with renewed vigor to comment on state of game. Up until now i spent total of 1$ (mostly because PTU access which is Alpha...

    Watch that presentation i posted. It is pretty logical and actually fun to watch.

    Vapourware Scam Citizen - Only people with too much money can become StarCitizens! WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE?

    Why i mean was the sphere around the player not what you as player can see. Same way in Witcher 3 npcs behind you where camera don't see don't have animations they are just all tposing, you can see that with some poor FOV mods where they adjust camera fov but forget about "animation fov". There...

    Vapourware Scam Citizen - Only people with too much money can become StarCitizens! WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE?

    No the culling you talk about is mostly about lod management. In most games npcs don't exist outside of your view. They don't do stuff at all. There are some games that simulate behavior but that is represented by statistics not as in simulating what certain npc does at the moment. So like in...

    Vapourware Scam Citizen - Only people with too much money can become StarCitizens! WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE?

    One doesn't exclude the other. If you have 10 000 players you can have 100 000 npcs and you will still have the same ratio. They will be using effectively the same system X4 uses for npc simulation. So outside of visible range they become simulated much like in X4 and when player crosses their...

    Vapourware Scam Citizen - Only people with too much money can become StarCitizens! WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE?

    From my understanding it is more like single player driven focused game with multiplayer attached to it. It is completely different from something like EVE online or other MMOs where players drive everything. CIG always said and i don't think they changed recently that they want 90/10 split. 90%...

    ED had micro since like 1st expansion. Going by obviously low player numbers they probably want to milk as much as they can while game is still alive for few years until they will shut it down.
