DLSS implementation wasn’t great, but it did sharpen things up a bit over the muddiness that came with TAA.
Same deal, and definitely. Before 2.0 I thought Cyberpunk did some really cool stuff with narrative and inter-quest structures, but now the core of the game is a ton of fun all by itself. (The little Edgerunners references in the perk trees are a nice touch, too!)
And god do I love being free of the tedious incentives to check/compare all your attire and weapons for the best stats; standardisation here is a blessing.
Really glad to see this finally hit 1.0; idiosyncratic titles like this are my favourite thing about Early Access. For all the early, often substantiated negativity about the model, it enables developers to work on a lot of cool stuff.
I was explaining what they meant, I don't personally care. Their complaint, as I understood it, was an absence of new and original work.
I've never played PoE, and only watched a friend play it briefly; so nice try, but no, I'm not just stanning for a developer out of some absurd association of one's ego with a product.
You need to actually learn how development works, and I'm not replying further until you either do that or stop being so aggressive.
Throwing all your previous “arguments” out of the window
If you actually read what I said, instead of obsessing over winning an argument no one cares about, you would realise that was the exact thing I said from the start. Unless you can't even tell you've been frothing at two separate people.
Beyond a certain point, you have to take a risk and say screw balance; otherwise you just make everything the same, and render jobs little more than cosmetic differences.
Even if you're excessively concerned with morality and what people think of you, the only people realistically going to kick up a fuss about "pirating" games one already owns are Nintendo's lawyers.
You’re just looking for excuses.
No, I'm not, because I'm not a PoE2 dev and don't need an excuse. You're ignoring the realities of gamedev and insisting it should just work because you say so.
They even acknowledged that they could offer it as micro transaction
If they did, that means budgeting for the additions needed because it would be a product in itself.
I just hope it doesn't mean more of SE prioritising growing the playerbase over retaining vets. I'm pretty new myself, but the homegenisation of jobs (especially healers, dear god) is clearly not good for the long-term health of the game.
Feel like the trailer undersells the quality of the game.
The person you were replying to was explicitly talking about current ('new') anime, not industry darlings like AoT.
This is nothing new, been the story across media since Tolkien, really.
Seems like they tried to grow the company waaaaaaaaay too fast (practically doubled their number of employees since TW3 was released).
Obviously this sucks, but it's good that they're not unceremoniously dropping people with zero notice (looking at you, Activision). Doubt we can expect an environment where gamedev layoffs suddenly disappear, but people actually getting advanced warning about this stuff would be a huge improvement on the industry's norms.
Just finished Yakuza 3, started Yakuza 4. Enjoying the visual bump, and some refreshing changes to the combat, though I loved the story of Y3. Also playing through BotW for the first time (very late to the party).
Trying not to get sucked in too deep by my return to OSRS on top.
It's not "obsolete" for set characters, which is what this is if they have pre-established stories and personalities.
You think the PoE devs aren’t getting paid? lol
That's not how budgets nor gamedev work. It's not up to individual developers to just add huge amounts of content to a game that hasn't been budgeted for.
I love X! (not that one) and I love reading this!
Right? It’s literally bundled with one of the most popular headsets.
Though there are still plenty of indies that still exude quality and love from their developers. Things like Compound, Budget Cuts, Until You Fall, or Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades (if you’re a gun person) are all a bunch of fun.
Though there’s that Walking Dead game if you want something with more money behind it (and are less anxious than me).

Settled's Swampletics (OldSchool RuneScape) is wild, and popular among even people who have never played OSRS.
First I've heard of it, thanks! (At first I assumed it was made by the Cloudpunk people, very similar voxel-driven(?) style.)
