@Just1542517 @0xQuasark you should read the story again. wasn't my buddy who cut himself

This might be a good movie, but it's not Resident Evil. The director says he put a green herb in the game and in the trailer...and that counts as homage?

That's like saying you made a DOOM movie and there's no Doomguy lol.

It's just dumb. These directors get a massive head after making big hits and think they're smart enough to make their own spin on things.

Nope. You're just on a hotstreak that you think will never end and will be wrong.

@Nyalter4 @stefmadarts 200? More like 400 or 500 lol. but ya i agree

You can think FF16 isn’t a good FF game and not like it if you want but it is a good game. And There is no objective argument for why it’s bad.

[BigDFuerte @BigDFuerte]

The biggest problem with FromSoftware's worldbuilding is

1. The "ancient kingdom lies in remnants" post-apocalyptic setting is TOO "big" and disconnected from the player. It gives it scale and epicness, but it goes too far and makes everything the player does meaningless. Everything is too big and you're too small. If you truly want to do epic fantasy, you must bring the player to the level of ultimate power.

2. It is too bleak. Dark is fine. Some bleakness is good but must be overcome by true victory. You win a throne of ashes by killing gods. Very cool but ultimately not S tier worldbuilding. Doesn't matter if "that's the point," the point is inherently not S tier. Victory must be true victory.

If FromSoftware can end games with true positivity (not gummy bear dumb naive positivity) it will be S tier.

It's already at the top of the industry, but this would take it to the GOAT status.

this is gorgeous

Signs that your Raid Leader/Guild Master is a bad RL/GM.

1. He speaks with a condescending tone to others, especially new people. They're losers who are making up for their real life social failures.

2. He lets everyone get away with anything (talking too much during encounters, being rude to each other, etc). This is weak leadership. People must be led. If this wasn't universally true, we wouldn't even have the concept of leadership in any significant sense.

3. Doesn't lead with conviction. People are social animals and follow those with authoritative presences. This conviction comes from knowing the gameplan and general WoW/encounter knowledge.

4. Doesn't play as much or more than your best players. People follow those who are actually there.

5. Isn't as good or better than your best players. People follow those who are good.

World of Warcraft is a social game.

Yes, retail forces less socializing due to ease of access, but it's still a social game and it will never not be.

Being good at communication can:

1. Make you a better player, because you ask questions to learn.

2. Make others play better, because you ask for what you need (defensive cooldowns, strats, etc).

3. Find you a guild or build your guild. I recruit people by talking to them after meeting them. Every guild I've been in I recruit harder than anyone else and I barely try, because I talk to people. This is also how I join guilds. I'll literally whisper random people who have the level of progression I want or seem like they're on the way (see someone with 3/9 M and think you can hang on their level? Whisper the person if they're looking for people. Takes 5 seconds).

4. Help you avoid/remove bad people. When you learn social skills, you can also tell who doesn't have them easily and box them out of your groups/guilds. Stand up for yourself. Tell the rude tank to stop being a dick and then kick him from the key and find someone else who deserves vault loot and to push keys.

5. Make people like you and want to play with you more. I don't care how good you are, if you're rude, I don't want to play with you. And anyone who isn't a parasitic sycophant feels the same way.

[BigDFuerte @BigDFuerte]

1. They're clearly using a lens effect of some sorts. They're going for cinematic feels, given it's a cinematic, not in game footage, hence the sometimes blurriness.

2. Movies run at 24fps as a standard, so given the above assumption, the same applies here.

No one's going to call you because your opinion is worthless and you're mad over nothing. Mald harder nerd.

The soundtrack for Pragmata is pure vibes. Man.

[BigDFuerte @BigDFuerte]

@Bigeas973 @HelloImDr3w actually ur right. 20% buff on a previous 20% buff is 45%! i forgot how to math

and i mean IM going to be a monster but ya across the board we still got a ways to go i guess. only way to see is when the patch drops and we see the data

For one brief moment, I am the world's highest healing parse for HPals in 12 Seat of the Triumvirate! So cool!

[BigDFuerte @BigDFuerte]

@Somniss @JakeSucky i would love that. more games need outright slurs in them lol.

[BigDFuerte @BigDFuerte]

Healing is the funnest role by far in WoW.

Never did it before Midnight and I absolutely love it. The only thing close to it is M+ tanking.

When everyone is absolutely tanking from standing in fire or some raid wide blast, it's like playing Whack 'A Mole.

Absolutely addicting.

@yiuonmw you posted a class popularity chart in a discussion about technical hps vs utility stats? what?

[BigDFuerte @BigDFuerte]

Blizzard should make a Race to World First difficulty tier. Once the boss is killed, the state it was in at the time gets locked and thats the boss for that difficulty always and forever. Then everyone can see what they’re really made of.

I would love to try the Mythic L’ura that Liquid and Echo took down at some point.

[BigDFuerte @BigDFuerte]

Just finished RE9.

Without a doubt the best RE I’ve ever played (and probably objectively the best ever made).

I grew up with Resident Evil…I was so young when they came out. 2 and 3. Dont think i played Code Veronica? It’s hard to remember some of it cuz i was young but all good fond memories. played 4 on the ps2, Outbreak on ps2, Zero on Gamecube?, 5 with a friend on 360 I think, 7 on PC, skipped Village..and finish both re3 and re3 remakes

So yeah ive played a lot of Resident Evil and man was this game amazing. There were no
major flaws. only pacing issue was the Orphanage flashback level but who cares. perfect balance of horror with Grace and action with Leon.

A genuine masterpiece and my current Game of the Year
