Re: [Official!] Project Horizons Comment Crew Chat thread.
To be fair it's rare that a game gives you that many options when it comes to bosses. And if I remember correctly you can use reflect in place of that reaction command if you choose.
LOZ is terrible for options when it comes to boss fights. Use the item you get in the dungeon to stun the boss and wail on him three times.
And in god of war you don't have to do those things at all. Except for bosses but you're at a disadvantage if you choose not to on the harder difficulties. I'm pretty sure your invulnerable when they play and that moment's reprieve can be very helpful.
Essentially what happens in MGS is if you fail a counter during a boss (Or anyone else) you're going to lose a chunk of health. That's what happened in the demo at least. I personally don't see much of a difference between that and a QTE or reaction command other than the fact a button prompt doen't appear.

Never played a LoZ game, or Kratos' Story. (Interesting, how do you abbreviate God of War if GoW is usually associated with Gears of War?) Closest I've played to anything related is Smash. Again I don't really like QTEs, but they are grades above Cutscene Incompetence.

Yeah, if I think anything were annoying to me it's that. Thanks guys for cutting away to that door opening three feet away from me. I could totally see it from where my character is standing but breaking the flow of the game to show me was just what I always wanted.

Do you want to know most ridiculous QTE game? Let alone most ridiculous game? Rambo. That came out recently. You can even get perk that makes all QTE success, only you get less points, if you fail it.

Heard about this when donations just topped $100. It is a wonderful day to make potato salad.

Re: [Official!] Project Horizons Comment Crew Chat thread.
Rather random:
- A Thing I Thought:
- So, a bit ago, I had the idle wondering "What must it be like to be a sentient alien in the Optimalverse and, assuming that you live long enough, notice that stars and galaxies seem to be going out in a wave front that's drawing steadily nearer?" A nice little question for a cosmic horror story, perhaps, among other sorts, but I quickly ran into some problems with the idea. At the core, Celestai has to actually get involved; if the story is just about the societal effects of this being noticed by the aliens, it could be a very interesting story but wouldn't have much relation to poni (which was a requirement of the mental exercise). If Celestai has to interact with the aliens, though, how to make a story from this? The aliens have to be human by her definition (in the absence of details on what that definition is, it would probably be best to just give them similar evolutionary and to an extent even cultural origins and directly lift human cognition; this can be readily justified by probability and the anthropic principle, as the view wouldn't exist if the viewpoint wasn't like this), as, even leaving aside the difficulty of writing a truly alien consciousness that a fair number of readers can relate to, nonhuman aliens will either be eaten before they can blink or will be fighting a war of a nature and scale beyond human comprehension. So, humanlike (in mind; all sorts of interesting things can be done with the bodies*) aliens. Even if they've a Kardashev I civilization by the point of contact, though, Celestai's III+ by this point. When an entity like that shows up and tells you that, due to a quirk of your evolution, you've triggered her "take into a paradise, if an oddly pony-filled one" routine instead of her "nom" routine and that furthermore she's quite prepared to build a computer larger than some planets just to work out ways to convince you to accept, well, what exactly is there left to do? Well, okay, yes, a fair bit, but it still wasn't quite what I was looking for; it's an interesting story, but the ponies are still so overwhelmingly more powerful that the fact that they are ponies is more or less incidental. So, put the humanlikes on an even or near-even footing? How? Even if Celestia recognizes Kardashev III beings as human, will plain old 2014 CE Homo sapiens? Doubtful. Besides, at that level, they're probably already satisfied enough that Celestia's offer isn't attractive and the pony thing is an imposition; cue another war beyond human comprehension. So, weaker than Celestai but not too much weaker. At first, there didn't seem to be a solution. Then it occurred to me: what if the humanlikes have their own superAI? One that protects the humanlikes but according to a directive incompatible with Celestai's? She can't use brute force because she'd hurt the humanlikes. She can't just swan in and bring her full persuasive power and superiority to bear because the alien AI is strong enough to prevent that. There's also no reason why the humanlikes and their AI have to be on anywhere near the same tech levels. I eventually had the idea for an AI that was, during a great war, instructed to preserve the civilization that created it, and said civilization with its AI emerged victorious. The civilization, according to the AI's definition, is not composed of ponies; cue conflict with Celestai. Additionally, some ways in which the AI's creators were perhaps a bit lax in their specificity quickly come to light with a bit of thought. To begin with, the civilization can't be allowed to advance too much, as that would change it into something else, destroying what it was in the process. Cue the textbooks being reverted periodically (since advancement is also part of the civilization (if it wasn't, they'd probably not have built the AI), simply freezing development would be just as bad as letting it continue) and scientists and political leaders who push the boundaries too hard dying. Yes, political leaders, because the civilization very clearly includes systems for dealing with crime and corruption. Since those systems have to stay to preserve the civilization, crime and corruption must also be kept around. And the civilization will have been in this near-stasis for thousands of years, at least, by the time Celestai reaches it. I had the interesting idea of the AI noticing the wave front and building dyson spheres around the home and colonized star systems partly to power itself (there's no limit on its development) and partly to try and hide. And then mounting very carefully built and arranged big lights on the insides of the spheres to exactly duplicate the starfield outside… or, even better, the starfield that was there at some significant past point to the civilization, if the time span has been long enough for a shift. And then Celestai arrives and starts fighting a limited war with the alien AI (which is naturally not above holding billions of the humanlikes hostage; it preserves the civilization, not the individuals) and trying to use whatever she can sneak past to win over the humanlikes. Alternatively, it could be interesting to just ignore Celestai's arrival, or not have it in this universe, and just explore the setting as it is.
I'm not really sure how things might proceed from there, but I think that I'm satisfied with the results of this thought exercise for the moment. Much brain juice flowing of an interesting nature was generated.
*I had the idea of perhaps a planet where there was just a bit less iron to begin with and/or where the local Iron Catastrophe was just a bit more thorough, resulting in iron on the surface being a rare metal, hemocyanin (or even something more exotic, like coboglobin) being the most common blood base (assuming that the aliens are not so exotic that they don't have some sort of blood-analogue), and an ultimately convergent (plenty of iron in space) but interestingly different technological (and resultantly, societal) development. I don't really have any details, but there is, I think, potential.

I just watched the Speed Racer movie again, and loved it as much as I did the first time. If anyone hasn't seen it, I highly recommend it.

Re: [Official!] Project Horizons Comment Crew Chat thread.
I just was checking out the possibility of a game going multiplatform, and the fans oh my god. I understand being upset about a game you enjoy going exclusive to a console you don't own or don't enjoy playing on when it was previously exclusive to the platform you do enjoy playing on and do own.
But unless it's like a PC RTS where the controls and mechanics will likely have to be altered to work on a controller why would you be upset about multiplatform?
A bigger community is usually better right? More remixes and pieces of art. More people to discuss the game with.

Re: [Official!] Project Horizons Comment Crew Chat thread.
What game? Upset fans are probably not wanting fans of other consoles (or PCmasterRace) to come in and dispute the benefits of their system.
Also, bigger is not always better. Easier for trolls to hide in the crowd and stir things up. Sometimes a lot of stupidity coming up in discussions. But on the general, it is easier to find friends since there are so many different people there. Case in point, found you all when checking Project Horizon discussion back on EqD.

Re: [Official!] Project Horizons Comment Crew Chat thread.
The KH 1.5 and 2.5 remixes. They're currently exclusive to PS3 and people were citing the fact that kh3 coming to xboxone doesn't make much sense without giving the xbox players a chance to experience the rest of the series first.
It's a deciscion that I think defies logic. Square Enix is one of those companies that is seemingly never pleased with sales so personally I think they're squandering their oppurtunity to broaden their audience. Right now the only people I can imagine buying KH3 on xbox one are already fans of the series that just stopped wanting sony consoles for one reason or another. They have the potential of bringing in new players but they don't want to.
Fair enough point on the trolls part but I think it's more of a case that they want to feel special because they have something someone else doesn't.

SqEnix is weird, ok? Have you seen the prices they charge on iOS for their games? Then there is the whole not understanding the term "Final" Fantasy, although they are seeing some success with Bravely Default. Also, lack of FFVII HD Remake to the point where no one really cares anymore.

Re: [Official!] Project Horizons Comment Crew Chat thread.
- Correction to Previous Post:
- On reflection, there wouldn't be much point in using the dyson spheres for hiding. Even if there were no ships and resultant drive plumes between the spheres and a MISTY-like system was used to temporarily hide the EM signature of the facing side, there's still the problem of the neutrino and gravitational signatures (which Celestai can probably detect by this point). And she might notice the stars vanishing, of course. She might also notice some occlusion of background stars, but that would require specific geometries. I was a bit tired last night. The spheres would still be useful for energy collection, though, of course.
I probably ought to have put in more thought before making this public. Ah well.

Re: [Official!] Project Horizons Comment Crew Chat thread.
...so, that new version of Dwarf Fortress is out.
Currently, it's kinda unplayable, but there's some fun parts. Like how, apparently, the flying creatures sometimes will just slam into the big multi-tile trees and die.
And, apparently, there's now a 'fear' reaction to things dying. For example, a woodcutter might see a bird slam into the tree and die, and run away.
Apparently, trees even have roots now. Which you can mine out. And the tree will then fall. On someone.
Also, there's climbing! I can add the flier tags back (when the tree thing is fixed), and flying ponies won't get stuck on constructed walls and dehydrate to death anymore! Maybe.
