Getting around to watch the whole saga.

Forced myself to watch Ep1 on Christmas and Ep2 today.

Jeez they are really awful, Lucas must be the most uninspiring director (or noone was used to act in front of green screens?), The acting is terrible across the board.

CGI is a pile of crap even for those days standards, you can tell matte paintings a mile away.

And design of ships and vehicles (and creatures) is just wrong according to ask the design concepts I read/heard about, just throwing shapes on some paper to makes something different, is a clusterfuck of non-relatable stuff.

Plot has holes and a whole bunch of nonsense. And even more sinful, Lucas decided that is best to talk about the cool stuff instead of showing it.

Spent my time on the train home reading the articles, you can infer much of it from the videos but still interesting

Yes I'm sure they have compile servers, id had it for Rage and they were much smaller. On something comparable to Source maps how much that improves downtime?

Still, even if quite fast, send a waste of senior staff time…

I can imagine there frustration of such small but repeated bugs.

I think the big problem here is the tech really: re-compiling maps for such minute additions is really painful. That's also the kind of thing I would get an apprentice to do (would be cool if they hired a couple, I mean for first gig).

Something they could work on to implement is a bomb clip mesh that the 3D artist could build from the start(?).

And for stairs in Source 2 they could make a stairs tool that would save the hassle of clipping (and more annoyingly to re-clip at any change – group, ungroup, func_detail and all that mess)

Rhetorical shot for this kind of movie, but should be easy to recognise

In the meantime, someone wants to go back in time

as for the operation quite annoying for community mappers, but is to be said Valve has no obligation. I see operations good to boost player base, gauge reception and shop new maps.

Maybe if a sign of much bigger things to come for CS?

Jeez i never finished it! ?

You playing co-op or you just got the first screen you found?

How far you got in Doom @Sentura? I remember dropping fps for me as well but only in quite advanced maps. I only have a 970M and runs on pretty high settings. Also seems works best in Vulkan so maybe try to enable that if you have the support.

According to the recent interviews story doesn't take itself seriously at all, should just be a parody… I think it's more annoying in replays because you can't skip sequences (unless you pay the highest difficulty)

Shit, sorry I completely forgot about this!! Tomorrow back home I'll post something

One book per week?!?! ?

Haven't watched yet but

Sorry I'm getting confused, is it blocking a flash bang grenade, bouncing it back, or not? @grapen Are you complaining that the flash gets through (explosion)

cos in the second case, like Squad, I wouldn't think it's bugged. But I'd expect the nade to bounce back.

Bottom line though, seems to me there should be more control over the collision mesh, we should have checkboxes to tick like "bullets pass through" "grenade pass through", a custom value to input how much power from bullets is absorbed etc.

Oh ok, so the problem is that the tool texture is "bugged"… good to find a workaround but Valve should fix it then.

hopefully they'll read what clan killer posted.

Is it not possible to configure the collision mesh to let bullets through without absorbing power?

So I don't have the chance to try this and never got to this refinement phase in a map… but reading the tools texture wiki, you would think you should achieve this creating a

grenade_clip brush

+

clip or player_clip

does this not work? (Why?)

Damn you @Sprony, I'm trying hard to resist buying a (used) PS4 with the spare money, you're totally not helping

Not in any particular order

DoD (1.3): kalt, jagd, forest, flash, kraftstoff

CS: Italy, office, Piranesi, chateau

@Mazy's maps where always a big inspiration for my attempts, I was trying something similar to his Kissmeyer and Supertimor. Also loved the Fish Market map in K&L2, although I could only play with bots

HL1: Silo

HL2: the bridge, coast and ravenholm

HL2EP2: pretty much everything was spot on

In Doom, Quake and Duke I always preferred/I have good memories of the early maps… maybe because that's what you replay the most as is more likely to abandon halfway

Doom 2016: the labs and hell (especially mid/advanced hell)

What is all that crazy lighting and colours?

That Deus Ex camera decision is annoying just by watching a gameplay video, one of the reasons that has kept me from playing yet.

Not playing myself @PhilipK, but that was highlighted in the reviews as well, quite colourfully in rickD's one as well (I think was Rick)

Had an argument with a friend that passed me this

(super annoying voice)

There are some fair points, but the stuff about the characters dying and even worse the "contextualisation" made me go WTF
