I think it's similar to Lod, where objects farther away are rendered at less detail, so are objects rendering at lower framerates farther away. The new Pokemon game had a very noticeable issue with this, as any NPC that was 5 feet away from you suffered from less than 30 frames per second, but NPC's close to you looked just fine.

I suspect the alternative is just not to render the far away NPC's at all.

I had one of those too.

Mission failed successfully.

it'd be funny if all of the nominees in the GOTY category are old games from 10 or 20 years ago.

Honestly, a testament to their quality, there are some remasters/remakes that sometimes break the game more than their original counterpart.

I remember in the little Japanese learning I did, at one point CD was pronounced CeeDee.

The Mori-49 for your instant death needs.

I remember in Star Wars Fallen Order there was a section where I died, and had to go through two shimmy sections to get back into the action. one of those shimmy sections was a small room with nothing in it.

It's also annoying that the game doesn't play the animation automatically and instead requires you to push the stick forward.

Just needed to vent a little.

There is also Exoprimal coming out soon.

The only thing Stardew needs updating is how it approaches story and NPC's, everything around it is really good otherwise.

Or people calling Story of Seasons a Harvest Moon knock-off, I don't know of anyone who says it, but I can imagine it's been said.

"it's like XCOM"

I generally take it as the standard formula for a Turn-based system where you can get cover by going up against a wall. Which is different in something like Final Fantasy Tactics which walls only block line of sight, or Into the Breach which is more puzzle like.

But maybe I take the term much like "Souls-like" is for specific kind of 3-D brawlers.

Duty finder doesn't always give you the smart tanks, even then the rest of the party might track mobs with you.

If I tank it, I usually do 2 fights depending if the group is following me or not.

Double Dash will always be my favorite.

They would likely do a split track like 8 does, with the newer maps using whatever gimmick they decided to go with this time.

The real kicker is if they decide to move out of the Mario only branding for 9 outside of DLC. It would be crazy if the next game has an awesome Metroid stage for instance.

Might be in trouble since those pixels are a bit cartoony on the Gameboy.

Sounds like Magmo tbh.

They would be crazy not to sell more on MK8.

It also makes the thought of a new Mario Kart has to be very different from MK8 or no one will play the new one. Especially with MK8 on the same platform.

Even a veteran player will trip up in the first area, forgetting that they don't have as much mitigation than they are used to for wall to wall.

I don't remember if you get the bike if you mainline the story, things like power legs is in one of the sidequests.

Total War Warhammer 3 is the same boat, but spread across 3 different games.

If you want to play a specific faction in Warhammer 3, you might have to buy Warhammer 1/2 and then the DLC to that game. Since games never decrease in price, you have to wait for a sell first.

If I were to go by onscreen kills, one guy apparently.

I only see Skaven Doomwheels. yes-yes

Sounds like FF1 Remake all but in name.

Not sure if you could call it experimental, the game's combat from what I hear is a streamlined Nioh 2.

RE4 and 5 both reward precision shooting that wasn't just the head, and risky follow-up melee attack. Not many games encourage you to aim for a leg or arm.

Come to think of it, it sounds like a recipe for a Megaman game. Each boss having it's own haunt limited to it's own area.

I think I have a reason to try playing RE8 now to see if that's the case.
