They said he performed Oral AND Anal Sex on them and masturbated and told them to "never tell anyone" because of the "special" treatment that would boost their athletic ability

Makes sense. Any time a man tries to perform anal on me I run a lot faster than usual.

Depends on the quantity and quality of DLC. If a game has 30 small DLCs then no thanks(and fuck that game), but if it has one or two that are more like what we used to call "expansion packs" then sure.

This is exactly my thought on the matter. If only they added dlcs like, say, Diablo 2's Lord of destruction, which added quite a bit for a modest price.

Instead most dlcs these days are blatant cash grabs that just lock out content for people.

I love LoD, and it took them a year to make and release it IIRC. It'd be worth it for the runes / runewords alone.

Like so many others here: I don't care about it because I've never watched it.

The major promotion it gets doesn't bother me at all, probably because I DVR what I watch on BBC America (ST: TNG) and therefore can fast-forward through everything else.

Those TNG transfers are piss, if you can watch them on Netflix you'd be doing yourself a big favor as they look great and not like they were taped on VHS 30 years ago.

Some of the recent Etrian Odyssey games are tough though when they offer day 1 DLC quest rewards that significantly cut down on the exp and gold (en) grind. And in these games that's kind of everything. EOU2 did this way worse than V did, but it's still there.

What's your definition of "power metal"?

?

And here I was, initially thinking this thread was talking about a Metallica album.

Didn't even know Pantera also had an album of the same name.

As far as I'm concerned their first album is Cowboys from Hell. They're basically different bands before and after it anyhow.

It all depends:

Day one, disc locked DLC that should've been in the game in the first place that soaks the customer can suck it.

DLC made after the fact way later (you know, like what it's supposed to be) that adds to the overall experience I'm all for. Excellent examples of this would be the Dark Souls Atorias stuff, Bloodborne Old Hunters, Borderlands 2 Tiny Tina / Mr Torgue campaigns.

@Black_Crusher his new drummer is really really good but I still wish he was playing with meg. The rudimentary approach worked so well in the white stripes.

I'm sure he is, White can basically hand pick his band at this point.

Meg doesn't play super impressive stuff but the music wouldn't be half as good if the lines were complicated. Like AC/DC with Dream Theater drums, it wouldn't be as good.

I got it before taking the screenshots lol.

This is towards the starting area and I've honestly tested and ran through this area like 1000 times since I started making it and it was just a habit. This is where you get your first weapon, so I always run and grab it before heading off anywhere else.

So monsters respawn? Or can you just sneak past them?

It acts much like Zelda 1's monsters do. The map is actually pretty large but is broken down in smaller rooms / sections that scroll from one to each other with you. Most but not all of these rooms have enemies that respawn whenever you enter and die whenever you leave. It's the same so far with things you can smash open like pots. Personally I've never handled enemy spawning like this and it was surprisingly challenging to get right but sure enough it works!

To keep players from endlessly grinding off monsters, they (so far) don't reward you with either drops or XP. They're just there to be pains in the ass. You can fight them, avoid them in most cases, or possibly jump over them too. Enemies like archers you can deflect their arrows if you've bought / found the shield and etc, you know stuff like that.

This may help. Here's the same exact room with normal / non-torch vision vs. when you have it equipped as a weapon:

I think the bigger question is why is the chest already opened?

If it could be dual wielded, I can deal with holding it, but I wouldn't want to lose regular weapons unless it was only for rare sections.

Oh man Delta! I wish you were around earlier in development, that's a great idea. I don't think I could incorporate dual wielding at this point though.

I can't really change it to a lantern because you can already attack things with it as a weapon and burn stuff too.

I mean I guess you can technically smash things upside the head with a lantern too.

You could make a new separate item for the lantern which functions similarly to the torch but still works even when not equipped just like in option 2 but overall is a worse weapon and/or gives less light as well.

That's not a bad idea, but I only have a total of 10 slots for weapons and I wouldn't want two of them to be light source possibilities.

Torch lights in backpack. I used to do a bit of videogame stuff myself. My biggest mistake was assuming too much of the player. My testers complained, at first I was a bit arrogant until I was humbled by having trouble testing another person's project. Keep things simple for the majority.

*Edit - I get why people want option 1, I like it too but just remember most players are very casual.

Yes I feel you here. Option 2 is almost like a QoL addition.

Edit: Thanks everybody for your feedback! When you're doing something like this for such a long time by yourself you tend to lose perspective.

Aw man this IS a harder decision than I thought!

My old school mentality is what made me make it work like option #1, but during my play testing I'm finding that it's sort of annoying when I want to swap over to another weapon and I lose almost all sight of the room (this is a Metroidvania, so for example the Flail weapon can also break boulders that block your way and some are in dark areas). I did incorporate quick weapon sifting using the shoulder buttons to try and alleviate some of this pain in the ass-ness though.

Another thing I forgot to mention is that the torch is negated while the guy is in any standing water as well. Right now with the torch equipped as a weapon it's both dark and you're unable to attack with it at all. If I changed it to work like option #2 the lights would go out but you could still attack with another weapon.

Hey guys, this is something I've been mulling over for a couple days and I'm not sure what direction I want to go in. The game I'm working on has a Torch which counts as an equippable weapon that can burn things. It has a secondary effect of lightning up any darkness areas too, but only when the player equips it as a weapon.

But I thought it might be a cool idea if just having it in your backpack at all would trigger this secondary effect of lighting up dark areas so you could use other weapons to attack with.

Which method would you prefer?

Thanks a lot :)
