@slow_17_motion@PlatoonPod That one clip seems like something scripted, not just regular reactions. But regardless, I agree that it's stupid to act like that's an indicator of a game's quality or devs effort when static npcs & obstacles are still very common & often ignored.
@slow_17_motion@PlatoonPod I don't think the amount of people working on it matters in this instance. You don't need thousands of people to add in a flinch animation or to move the npc to a harder to reach spot.
@slow_17_motion@PlatoonPod I agree it's not laziness, though I dont think those 2 games are responsible for that. Pretty sure you can't do that in Ghost of Tsushima either but nobody cared.
@slow_17_motion@PlatoonPod You can also have them react by moving out of the way, just a jump or a step back I think would be good enough nothing extreme.
@DieHexen1666@GPrime85 Must not be as good if nobody gives a fuck to even mention them outside of dunking on Americans for not being ashamed to exist.
Also that's not even a burger😭
@slow_17_motion@PlatoonPod He just said position the character so that they can't be hit anyway. And RDR2 also does game overs of you kill the wrong person in a mission, just do that.
It's not "just as" because 007 has a code while Arthur doesn't.
I haven't had time to touch First Light yet, but I keep seeing posts like this pop up that treat really basic things (like "pedestrians should not be made of concrete") as an unreasonable ask of a AAA game in 2026.
IIRC, Simpsons Hit & Run (2003) had them jump out of the way if you tried to hit them. Even Mixtape has them jump out of the way if you try to hit them.
If you didn't want to put in that effort, just stand the guy on the other side of the fence, since you cannot (I assume) drive through the fence.
It's not a game breaker itself, but it is revealing of design priorities, and (essentially) of a certain laziness. It's often a symptom of a broader problem. Laziness tends to compound.
@BigthinkerBig@MauLer93 It's batman he most likely money'd a boomerang that can do that. I'm pretty sure gliding around on a cape is retarded to but he's yet to have plummeted to his death🤷♀️.
@Fivior@PlaguedParade@GunsButterGames@MauLer93 Just because something existed in the past doesn't mean it's exempt from change or criticism. Hand holding has existed for a long time too & people have complained about that for longer. Yellow paint is just another aspect of that.
@McJuggerNuggets You allowing your own child to actually be killed is not like eating a burger. And no, you aren't a 2nd hand murderer, that's not how that even works.
You own a dog & want to talk about how eating animals is murder? Is your dog vegan? You know there's meat in kibble right?
@francis80344441@FellatrixArt Ana is loyal to Daisy so wouldn't do anything do anything without permission from her (and they seem cool with Ashley & Sarah so it wouldnt really be ntr if they ever agreed) and Alyssa would probably be more into Sarah (and does leave girls alone if they say no apparently).
