remember the game developer's most useful tool: when in doubt, lie to the player

let's make this a thread I'll start

Destiny 2's "low health" visual feedback (red vignette, flashing health bar, sound changes etc) kicks in when the health bar is down to about 25%.

Except that's about 50% of your actual hitpoints; Bungie just realised the game feels more exciting if you get the feeling that you narrowly scraped out of a tough fight.

People got VERY mad about this when one of the designers revealed this on Twitter lmao

In Dragon Age Inquisition, whenever you're riding a horse and start sprinting, you don't actually go faster.

The camera just zooms in and there are speed lines so it feels faster

I just hate Dragon Age: Inquisition

What a shit fucking game

That either repeats my post sans link on or gives an excerpt and a link to cohost if the post is too long, tyia.

I don't want to jump around three-four different platforms when I post something.

Why do we even have multiple socials
