  • Wasteland 2

    Well damn the level design is really terrible. Maybe this has to do with the retro experience i don't know, but i find it to really spoils the game. It's a shame, because they have a cool cover system but there's nowhere on the maps to make cool tactics. It's usually 2 crates placed randomly or a fight over a wall corner. And the profusion of the same crates, the same safes filed with random stuff in the edges of the maps (which are the only lootable objects) are getting really redundant. My worth-my-money-o-meter is getting at the orange, this has gotten a bit overhyped. Writing and story are good though

  • Wasteland 2

    So what you guys think ? So far i find it cool, but not amazing. Artistically it's not looking very nice, actually it looks quite cheap, that's killing a bit the immersion for me. The level design is kind of giving me meh feelings too it's really predictible and dirigist so far, like there's a door you need to picklock and obviously there is an ammo crate after it, or a digging point, or a safe and you need 3 skills for the same thing. It gives you an Unity amateur game vibe sometimes, if you see what i mean, it doesn't feel well finished.


    Anyway it's not as good as i was picturing it to be, at least really not as well made as fallout 1&2 were. Kind of disapoint. But i'm still at the begining so we'll see

  • FF15

    I feel you step, it hurts so much. These haircuts really antagonise with a natural depiction of our gender, it stigmatize baldness. Everytime i try those haircuts it looks like shit, seriously, this has been making me cry for weeks.

  • Ymir : a multiplayer diplomacy and city builder game

    Quote from Sjonsson

    Just got to thinking about this game, how is the development going KoKo? I'm still hyped to try it out.


    It's been a while I haven't seen him unfortunately, but he seems to have made some progresses. You can follow his dev here : http://ymir-online.eu/ He has a lot of trouble with technical issues, especially with the netcode because he works with gamemaker and lots of plugins for it (being more of a 3d artist than a coder) but now the game reaches a point where it gets really complicated to handle everything within the gamemaker framework. Anyway if you want to try it out and help him, he sometimes needs people to participate to playtests, you can ask on the forum !

  • (UE4) Sci-fi Colony Bunk Room

    Well damn you guys are harsh, I think it looks absolutely awesome Liam ! I love the first & the last shot ! That could be out of 2001 ! But I think you already feel the effects of making PBR mats, people got bored of realistic painting, there is no reason they won't get bored of realistic videogames either


    You indeed should think of a bit of background story (or a theme) to dress the scene up. Like - aliens have attacked -, - They did a party there -, - It's christmas !! - , - they had sex on that banket - (that would be cool), - the exit to space have been opened - etc or think about who is the person who lives there and who do she/he is and how the interior decoration should reflect that; and then make the dressing props and details in accordance to what you choosed


    Well at least what would be interesting i think, would be elements contrasting with the futuristic and plain interior of a space station like colorful and noisy pictures, garlands, maybe go even more 70s, curtains for the window, a clock (work well to set the scene in time), food, a poster of the tour of a band from 2087, impressionist paintings of the countryside, a smoky ashtray, a blunderbuss on a wall, old books or a medieval tapestry why not, making the two periods of time contrasting, or at least making things coming from earth contrast from being in space but go quite bold on that.


    But I do think it looks really really cool mate !

  • What's going on with your life?

    Well they are just annoying in general maybe. I'm no dad, but you should tell them nicely that it's your child, not theirs, and that the education has to be done by you. People tend to project their principles, and their "i know better" to what doesn't concern them, maybe unintentionally though. For the moment she is a baby so that is ok, but after, when she will be able to walk and talk you really need to put a stop to this kind of interference because it kind of hurt her education i think.


    Like for example, when my cousin leave his 2 years old boy at my parents home. When he asks something to eat or something to play with my mother will give him everything he wants. I think it's somehow because she wants the kid to like her basically. So of course, although he is not too annoying, he goes on a complete rampage when he is at my parents home. When I'm busy running after him when my cousin visits and he ask me : can i have that ? I answer : Alright but what do you think mom & dad would think about it ? (then he usually do a concerned face) If you want it you will have to go ask mom & dad, i can't give it to you myself. Then he goes and usually has it, but at least he understand that it is his mom & dad that have the last word.


    But also i have the good role, i'm usually the one he plays with when my cousin comes over. We usually play to the farm. But so far he just goes : LET S PUT EVERYONE IN THE FARM and then he will put the farmer, with the horse over him and throw the tractor on top until it fits. Then LET S GET EVERYONE OUT THE FARM etc etc he just doesn't get tired of that shit. I'm eager he grows up a bit so we could play the story of schmidt the ninja horse fighting the plastic trex in the land of the forsaken kitchen. Until he goes mentally ill and will be able to enjoy playing warhammer, and my plan will be perfect........


    I think the best way will be either to talk to them about it if they can understand or keep your calm and say : yes. yes. you are right.


    Also for the woman in the supermarket, you could have bought a baby hat you monster, and then put it on the woman's head. That would have been the thing to do.

  • What's going on with your life?

    At the same time corwin, you are kind of in the middle of the storm, i mean you have two young kids who need a lot of attention, a house to renovate, and all that in a country that is not yours, without family or friends close to help you with the kids and the house, and on top of that a job in the videogame industry. Damn I can assure you this is a lot to be busy about, and i'd say this is almost normal you would feel exausted with all this at the same time. If you take a look at your parents life when they had you in france in the 70s 80s, i'm pretty sure it wasn't as complicated as that . But the more your kids will gain in independancy and the less work you will have on the house, i'm pretty sure it will give you much more time to breath, and plus like Furyo said, you will be able to share much more activities with them. Do your wife work btw ? Or her personal hobby is being a mother and taking care of the lifestyle of her family ? Because taking care of her family means also taking care of you and you of her. Kids don't ask for much, but what they care the most is being loved and live in a happy and relaxed environment and thus they need their parents to not burn out in order to not have to take their problems on their shoulders. I mean taking care of yourselves together is the best thing you can do for your kids . (being the son of two depressive alcoholics i can assure you that)

  • What have you watched recently?

    My girlfriend started watching godzilla 2014, so i took a look and was pretty enthusiastic when i saw there was Bryan Cranston and Juliette Binoche playing in it, that sounded promising. But 10 minutes after.. damnnnnnnn


    I really liked Bryan Cranston doing his Malcom dad faces, we laughed a lot, so it was entertaining in that sense.


    But what the hell with all these marines everywhere
