Trigger the codex with a statement.

Even the first video you posted disproves you. I said that crossbow bolts fill plate with holes. Guess what, that is what is shown in the video.... The breast plate got holes, and that is from a couple of bolts....

Keep in mind that this plate is top quality with modern steel techniques (if you think medieval steel was this good and shinny you know nothing about armor, dark age/medieval metalworking was shit). For the vast majority of the dark ages and medieval periods, when longbows and crossbows were relevant, steel was of inferior strength, and most plate armors were iron made and not steel made. That kind of steel breastplate shown in the video is 15th century onwards, and was mostly used by heavy cavarly. Sure, after the 15th century steel improved, that is why crossbows got replaced eventually by GUNS....

Even so, receiving a lot of hits will destroy even this kind of breastplate. Also the wearer will hurt, A LOT. and getting holes in your plate meant that someone with a piercing weapon could exploit them...

Sorry, i am not wrong, it is just that you people don't want to accept the fact that your "incline" spergy crpgs got it wrong.

 

Name these games. You have been talking about this giant wave of Kickstarter indie crap that is saturating the market and preventing good AAA games from shining (God, I can't believe this is an actual opinion from an actual human being), but you have yet to name a single example.

Fuck, you are good (or maybe I'm too weak). I AM triggered.

 

PoE 2 flopped due the pirate setting. And excessive Sawyerism/balance focus

But lets be real, AAA devs aren't taking risks. Quite the contrary. They only follow trends. See the MMO market which is far more expensive than SP market and EVERYONE IS COPYING WOW with almost no indie mmo.

He will not name a single one. I asked 3 times for a name.

 

No, my dear sperg, the point eludes you due to autism. All this armor discussion began because you claimed that percentage based armor is wrong. This is unrealistic. Permanent Damage properties are unrealistic, with every hit the armor worsens. Also, damage threshold as a concept is stupid. Even hits that don't penetrate an armor can damage the wearer through the force of the hit. We are not discussing WWI tanks here, we are discussing wearable armor by human beings.

So, the aspect that certain armor values should eliminate damage altogether from certain weapons/ammo, is wrong.

Now, CRPGs are not armor damage simulators. They are not meant to serve all your autistic needs regarding damage simulation. That is why a flat percentage based armor system is used, to approximately give a realistic depiction of protection.

 

Communism. Atheism.

 

Yep; how autistic i an for liking having a .308 armor piercing semi automatic rifle being better to fight heavily armored enemies compared to a 9mm smg and worse vs unarmored enemies. That is too much autism. Fast firing submachine guns should be the best weapon for any situation. Including enemies with power armor, robots, deathclaws, etc. And liking to have to aim in weakspots as a archer on Dragon's Dogma is pure autism. Dragon's Dogma would be far better if arming on weak spots and unarmored parts and dealing with armor got removed /sarcasm

PS : On New Vegas, armor takes damage and doesn't eliminate 100% of the damage. If you fire a 9mm round in a guy with power armor, you will deal almost no damage but will damage him.

 

TemplarGR is right: marketing helps, but if people love a game it will not need much marketing. If Skyrim was some sort of indie game, I'm sure it would have grown to be far more popular than Age of Decadence could ever hope to be, just like how Minecraft did. Of course no indie dev (in the traditional meaning of the word "indie", as opposed to "massive AAA dev with enough money to publish their own games") would have made a game like Skyrim to begin with, but the point is that a company will spend money on marketing if they think they have a slamdunk on their hands.

 

The American Left is days away from winning the culture wars. Western RPGs will never again feature straight white protagonists (villains are a given). All games will feature unskippable cutscenes about BLM and Pride, to which you may only click "I agree".
