I've been practicing a lot more with scenegraph and niagara since learning we could control them with SG (please Epic let me have access to the events, pretty please!) Not sure what I'll do with it, but I like how it responds to the player! #UEFN #Scenegraph #Niagara

Made a neat little material using distance fields that allows the object to 'squash' against anything it hits. Lets see what you can do with it? Make sure you uncheck 'Affect Distance Field Lighting' though on the mesh so it doesn't squash itself! #UEFN

After 38 hours, I finished Marvel's Wolverine on the hardest difficulty, 100% my save, and platinumed it. I truly took my time with this game, so here's my review.... I think this game is REALLY good, it takes everything that I love about Wolverine and creates a fun overall experience. The combat is insanely brutal and really fluid. There are MANY different ways to take down enemies, especially once you max out your skill tree. Though I’d be lying if I said it didn’t get a bit repetitive. Insomniac once again killed it when it came to not only the character designs, but the overall story. I didn't expect there to be so much heart in this but I was happily surprised. The relationship between Wolverine and Jean was done perfectly. The story we got was very refreshing in my opinion. Starting with Team X, since the X-Men don't even exist yet. They took inspirations from different comic plot points and formed their own original and great storyline. The amount of different characters, some I recognized and some I didn't was great to see and made the world they created feel a whole lot bigger. Liam McIntyre IS Wolverine. The character design looked great, the voice acting was superb, and you could feel behind his voice that he actually cares for this character and gave it his all. The story was around 30 missions long and like I said when you actually take your time and explore around the different maps and try to find all the collectibles, it is a pretty long experience and I didn't feel the shortness that others have been saying. The graphics are gorgeous and the map designs were well done. I think the different outfits we can wear in this is better than the selection we got from the Spider-Man games as there wasn't a whole lot in those games that I would actually wear, but in this game I wore every single one of them. Plus having the ability to change claws and put the cowl on or off was a nice touch. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the amount of damage that you can see on Wolverine during combat, but I feel like how fast it takes for your entire suit to be destroyed is a bit much as I actually want to see the outfit look good for more than 5 seconds, but that's just me nitpicking. Those who claim that this game is constantly holding your hand, I didn't find that to be true at all. Sure there are the smoke trails here and there, but for the majority of the game it is non existent. Though I will say that this didn't happen with every QTE, but there were a few moments where it would finish it without me even doing anything. Mind you that I had the "QTE Autocomplete" setting OFF. Some of the boss fights were very challenging which I really enjoyed, but after learning the fight patterns from the bosses, it's not too hard to take them down. I was very disappointed learning that you do NOT have to play on the hardest difficulty to get platinum as there is no trophy or any reward for doing so. The Spider-Man games had that so I assumed this game would include that as well. Is this game worth $70? I would say no but in my opinion no game should cost that much. Is this Insomniac firing on all cylinders? Also no, but without a doubt you can tell that A LOT of effort was put into this. Would I recommend buying this? 100% if you love Wolverine and want to have a bloody good time. Is the game replayable? I would say sort of, especially if you want to do a New Game+ save where you can be incredibly overpowered. But after doing that, me personally, I would probably take a break until I have the urge to relive the story again. I just want to say congratulations to Insomniac Games and everyone who put their blood, sweat, and tears into creating another awesome Marvel experience!

Review: Ace Combat 8 is a breathtaking, high action fighter pilot game with a surprisingly poignant story and the most complete package in the series. Piloting the jets feels incredible and the campaign delivers a thrilling 20+ hour story, visually stunning graphics, and gameplay that delivers on pure hype, bolstered by an excellent soundtrack. Visuals: Ace Combat 8 looks, feels, and sounds incredible. It has some of the most lifelike graphics I've ever seen. A massive amount of detail has gone into the jets of course, but the character models and realtime global illumination are equally impressive. The star of the show though is the new volumetric cloud system that makes flying through dynamic weather patterns more realistic than ever. The overall presentation is absolutely stunning from start to finish - I can't overstate this enough. I enjoyed watching Mission Replays just to appreciate the visuals and sound design with the cinematic camera angles. Gameplay: The core gameplay loop is extremely satisfying: complete missions, earn credits, and upgrade your aircraft. There's a new Skill Tree system for progression, allowing you to unlock new planes, special weapons, and upgrade parts. The final unlocks (the F-22 and F-35) are both absolute beasts that handle like a dream. Aircraft are split into different categories that require you to change and adapt your playstyle based on the mission. Fighters are the fastest and most nimble, best for pure dogfighting. Attack Jets are the heavy bombers, trading maneuverability for devastating ground target damage. Multi-Role jets are the balanced hybrid that still offer good handling. Finally, the new Electronic Warfare (EW) aircraft are a great support jet equipped with tools like EMPs and radar jammers. The game can be surprisingly challenging, particularly early on. Escort missions can be fairly punishing, with the mission failing if your allies take too much damage. I do think the campaign relies a bit too heavily on them in the opening hours. Once you start unlocking better aircraft and upgrade parts though, the difficulty curve starts to balance out. Customization: Equipping different upgrade parts also makes a HUGE difference in how your plane handles. Before each mission, you can fully customize your aircraft and weaponry, as well as those of your squadmates. Your plane can now be equipped with two special weapons in addition to standard missles (a first for the mainline games), in addition to Upgrade Parts that drastically ater alter your handling and capabilities. This allows for an incredible degree of customization based on the mission. Fighting a giant landship with tanks and naval vehicles? Throw on Air-to-Ground missiles and Unguided Bombs to take out massive groups in one go. Taking on an elite squad of enemy fighters? Hop into a nimble fighter jet with as much Anti-Air weaponry as possible. Joker Squad consists of four members, so bringing a balanced team is important. Alternatively, you can just hit Auto-Select to instantly set up your squadmates and jump straight into the mission. Story: The campaign spans 30 highly replayable missions with varied objectives across air, ground, and sea. It even features massive boss fights with some truly hype moments. The team put noticeably more effort into the campaign this time around. Set in 2030, the narrative drops you and Joker Squad into an escalating global conflict against the Republic of Sotoa. You play as a pilot that has been brought onboard the Endurance ship after your mentor Cope is killed in action. Cope was the legendary Ace Pilot known as "Wings." But the FCU decides to cover up his death in order to keep up morale, forcing you to take on his identity. Cope acts as a narrator for the rest of the game, as you try to keep his legend alive. The story has its ups and downs, but the near-future military drama is grounded by a strong cast of characters (led by your squad members) and an overarching narrative spanning multiple chapters and continents. Some of the best story moments were actually in between missions, where you get to interact with your squadmates and learn more about their backstory. Cinematics are also excellent and it's a very solid campaign overall! Summary: I genuinely enjoyed my time with Ace Combat 8 and was legitimately sad when it was over. Between the lengthy 20-25 hour campaign and Ace Combat Online, you're getting a ton of value with this game. Ace Combat Online is the series most extensive multiplayer offering yet, featuring PVP, PVE, and online co-op modes. And with the Aircraft Tree and cosmetics to unlock, there's plenty to grind for long after the credits roll. + Breathtaking, lifelike visuals with beautiful lighting and incredibly detailed aircraft and weather system + Deep customization with a rewarding progression tree + 20+ hour campaign featuring 30 missions and massive boss fights + Extensive multiplayer featuring PvP, PvE, and online co-op + Incredible soundtrack that elevates the high-action gameplay + Deeper storytelling with a strong cast of characters, cinematic cutscenes, and military/political drama - Narrative has some ups and downs, although it does come together in the end with some strong character moments - Heavy on performance at 4K - Early escort missions can be frustrating, but it makes the progression feel more rewarding in the end Final Score: 9/10 Playtime: 25 hours Platform: Steam Thanks to Bandai Namco for providing a review copy.

Survive and you can take your gear with you on future runs as you grow in power and fill your vault ▪️Fight in a crew of up to 3 players, various map sizes up to 18 players ▪️PvP + PvE, battle other players, security forces, and "otherworldly threats" ▪️Contextual pings, shared objectives, down-but-not-out mechanics ▪️Environments are filled with weapons, materials, items, resources, cores, keys, backpacks, secrets etc to find You can find things like backpacks that expand your inventory, powerful and unique weapons, consumables to heal yourself, ▪️Select your runner, strategically build your loadouts pre-match ▪️Factions in the game can sponsor you and your loadout ▪️You have the freedom to opt out of crew fill and take all the glory for yourself as a solo runner ▪️"This is probably the best-looking, best-feeling extraction shooter ever made", not easy for newcomers to the genre, can be tough to get into, but one previewer was "reluctant to put Marathon down. This is a good sign – the best thing I can say after any preview is that I want more – but big questions remain" ▪️No two matches ever play out the same, dynamic events, variable weather, unpredictable players etc ▪️Customization: Each Runner "brings their own flair", but serve as foundations to customize your playstyle - collect implants and equipment to augment your Runner, like stacking implants/upgrades to reduce heat build-up to allow you to keep running, jumping, sliding longer ▪️Contracts: "Ingenious" incentives, finish contracts you accept for permanent upgrades to your stats, add precious items like grenades, shields, inventory-expanding backpacks, etc to your market. The bigger your market, the better your minimum loadout becomes ▪️Contracts provide "valuable direction", bring welcome diversity and add a "precious hit of semi-permanent progression" ▪️Prestige Cores: Rare items that can "really push the boundaries" (ex: Glitch has an upgrade that turns double jump into triple jump for more manueverability) ▪️Another rare item is a backpack that turns you invisible while interacting with containers (very useful when everyone on the map is hunting you) ▪️Each match "feels like the most important one ever", high stakes, "surprisingly challenging AI enemies" that were "much, much better at surrounding and overwhelming players than the vast majority of AI enemies found in other games" ▪️Having a balanced crew helps in exploring the "dark and forgotten places" in maps - filled with deadly creatures like a species of giant ticks who swarm you frantically ▪️Battles can become frantic as you encounter other crews, stalk them across the map, encounter AI enemies to fend off when others come to claim your loot (one preview battle turned into a 9 player free-for-all) ▪️Downside could be the reward system where skilled players enter fresh matches with high level gear that outmatches less skilled players, though Bungie says it has gone out of its way to try and make it where a poorly equipped squad can still stand a chance if they play well ▪️Even if you die, you can can still get upgrades, improve your reputation with factions, advance in perk trees, etc by completing various quests, looting chests, or fulfilling specific objectives which unlock new bits of story and can grant perks like buying slightly better gear from vendors ▪️"The world Bungie has built is every bit as beautiful as it is creepy and dystopian, and there are moments where they satisfyingly hint at the events of the Marathon trilogy from the ‘90s", though "what little I saw did only slightly more than pay lip service to the world" ▪️Uses the seasonal reset model like in Diablo 4, where players are stripped of their loot and progress at the end of each season to mix things up with new content and new meta ▪️Game is designed to get you killed, Bungie expects average exfiltration rates to be comfortably below 50% ▪️"You will lose a lot, and losing hurts a lot[...]Extracts are snapshots of this unpredictability. That white-knuckle countdown may become a gut-punch defeat, an unforgettable clutch, a desperate last-second dive into the portal as your downed allies watch in envy and horror (couldn't be me), or an unnerving anticlimax. It's not always a pleasant one, but it is a strong emotional hook" ▪️Some previewers worried about variety, weren't impressed with the objectives in the alpha, like hunting computer monitors on the map, sprinting over, marking dropships, sprinting over, and repeating, though random events help spice things up ▪️Not a 20-map game says Bungie, map design "does have that sticky battle royale quality of generating memories", though still worried 3-4 medium sized maps might not be enough ▪️Bungie's "verbiage" on updates sounds like possibly 1 new map a year + refreshing existing ones in between, which could work in its favor pushing players to really learn maps, but will they hold up over hundreds of hours? ▪️Fights are decided by gun skill, clever ability use, map awareness, how strong your shield is, how many healing supplies you have, etc ▪️Example: If you have one bar of shield and enemy has four, you'll lose 1v1, but change it up with powerful grenades, status effects like toxic or overheat, backpacks are "transformative", etc Gameplay Trailer ▶️ Gameplay Overview ▶️ PS Blog ➡️ IGN ➡️ GamesRadar ➡️ ▶️

The bigger your market, the better your minimum loadout becomes ▪️Contracts provide "valuable direction", bring welcome diversity and add a "precious hit of semi-permanent progression" ▪️Prestige Cores: Rare items that can "really push the boundaries" (ex: Glitch has an upgrade that turns double jump into triple jump for more manueverability) ▪️Another rare item is a backpack that turns you invisible while interacting with containers (very useful when everyone on the map is hunting you) ▪️Each match "feels like the most important one ever", high stakes, "surprisingly challenging AI enemies" that were "much, much better at surrounding and overwhelming players than the vast majority of AI enemies found in other games" ▪️Having a balanced crew helps in exploring the "dark and forgotten places" in maps - filled with deadly creatures like a species of giant ticks who swarm you frantically ▪️Battles can become frantic as you encounter other crews, stalk them across the map, encounter AI enemies to fend off when others come to claim your loot (one preview battle turned into a 9 player free-for-all) ▪️Downside could be the reward system where skilled players enter fresh matches with high level gear that outmatches less skilled players, though Bungie says it has gone out of its way to try and make it where a poorly equipped squad can still stand a chance if they play well ▪️Even if you die, you can can still get upgrades, improve your reputation with factions, advance in perk trees, etc by completing various quests, looting chests, or fulfilling specific objectives which unlock new bits of story and can grant perks like buying slightly better gear from vendors ▪️"The world Bungie has built is every bit as beautiful as it is creepy and dystopian, and there are moments where they satisfyingly hint at the events of the Marathon trilogy from the ‘90s", though "what little I saw did only slightly more than pay lip service to the world" ▪️Uses the seasonal reset model like in Diablo 4, where players are stripped of their loot and progress at the end of each season to mix things up with new content and new meta ▪️Game is designed to get you killed, Bungie expects average exfiltration rates to be comfortably below 50% ▪️"You will lose a lot, and losing hurts a lot[...]Extracts are snapshots of this unpredictability. That white-knuckle countdown may become a gut-punch defeat, an unforgettable clutch, a desperate last-second dive into the portal as your downed allies watch in envy and horror (couldn't be me), or an unnerving anticlimax. It's not always a pleasant one, but it is a strong emotional hook" ▪️Some previewers worried about variety, weren't impressed with the objectives in the alpha, like hunting computer monitors on the map, sprinting over, marking dropships, sprinting over, and repeating, though random events help spice things up ▪️Not a 20-map game says Bungie, map design "does have that sticky battle royale quality of generating memories", though still worried 3-4 medium sized maps might not be enough ▪️Bungie's "verbiage" on updates sounds like possibly 1 new map a year + refreshing existing ones in between, which could work in its favor pushing players to really learn maps, but will they hold up over hundreds of hours? ▪️Fights are decided by gun skill, clever ability use, map awareness, how strong your shield is, how many healing supplies you have, etc ▪️Example: If you have one bar of shield and enemy has four, you'll lose 1v1, but change it up with powerful grenades, status effects like toxic or overheat, backpacks are "transformative", etc Gameplay Trailer ▶️ Gameplay Overview ▶️ PS Blog ➡️ IGN ➡️ GamesRadar ➡️ ▶️

🚨 Now to address this kangaroo 50 year order for protection — 1ST, this is what the left does. They use the courts to create the misinformation needed to manufacture a false consensus. Shown below is a picture of the lying, lunatic, libtard judge, recently appointed by FAILED communist Governor Tim Walz. You can see she's a libtard at 1st glance. Also below is a text message presented in court that clearly shows my ex-wife threatening me. The Lindsays will say it's justified. 0 proof that I ever put my hands on her or I would've been charged. Lemmings treat judge rulings and google searches as gospel. It's gay, dumb and dishonest! Like with President Trump, as soon as you see somebody call him "a rapist", you know you're talking to a Lindsay. It's no more true that I beat my ex-wife than it is that DJT raped E. Jean Carroll. Both are obvious lies. The real reason my ex-wife filed for an OFP is because for a year, I stopped coming home at night to avoid the confrontations. When you don't fight back, they tend to go over the hill. This is why the petition for the OFP cites a made up physical altercation 6 MONTHS prior to the filing. Why was it not reported before? Because it wasn't true. Eye witness testimony confirmed that in the court room. Which the judge left out of her order intentionally. The appeal process is going to be interesting. ACTIVIST JUDGES! National security threat. Only in lunatic liberal Minnesota can a woman show up to court with no evidence, no witnesses, no police reports, several eye witnesses who counter her allegations, plus text message evidence that shows her anger turn into threats (shown below) and still be granted an OFP. Correction, this doesn't only happen in Minneosta but very likely to. This is the country we're living in though, let's call it the Lindsay Clancy era! I was pepper sprayed, threatened and had my children used as pawns to try and make me acquiesce to my ex-wife's demands. When I wouldn't, my son was enlisted as the number 1 accomplice to her manipulative game. As far as my son goes... He played AAU basketball for me as the coach of his team. His teammates all stayed at my home, went on the road with me and after his mother's false allegations were made public, NOT 1 OF THEM DIDN'T RETURN TO THE TEAM. Why? Their parents trust me and knew she was lying. We were #9 in the country, #2 in the state this summer. Toughness breeds success! My son obviously didn't play, but he always received the EXACT SAME discipline as all of my other players because I treat them all like my own children. Difference being I won't slap a player upside the back of the head because they're not actually my child. That being said, slapping your child in the back of the head IS NOT ABUSE! Grabbing your child by the collar IS NOT ABUSE. Strangling 3 kids to death is abuse and MURDER! Progressive parenting and education has led to teen takeovers, low proficiency ratings and epidemic teenage homicides. Most importantly it has led us to The Lindsay Clancy Paradox... Where fathers are demonized, but mothers can strangle children and raise $2million or get off. Every one of these leftist influencers running that narrative are Clancys. Call them "Clancys", they are retarded and dangerous. When we finally stop granting these Clancys any credibility whatsoever, we can restore this country to any of its former glory. If not, look out... We are in a tailspin. P.S. Why would a judge not include this threat in the record? Because it wouldn't serve the narrative. Had I not appealed the ridiculous decision, the case would've remained sealed. I let the public know because the truth is the truth and the Lindsay Clancy era didn't begin with her, it's been creeping up for generations. You weak men allowed this to get out of control.

Review: The Blood of Dawnwalker is a fantastic action RPG with a dense, reactive open world that rewards your choices like few other games do. The Witcher 3 DNA is clear. But it also learns some key lessons and distinguishes itself in many ways as you progress through the game. Story & World: The first 20 minutes immediately establish the stakes. Coen has exactly 30 days and 30 nights to rescue his family from Brencis. Following the prologue, it drops you straight into a dark fantasy world, and from then on, every decision is yours to make. The world of Vale Sangora is filled with religious themes that have been corrupted by Brencis and his loyalists. Villagers are required to give blood sacrifices at the weekly Mass and the priests speak of Brencis like a gift from the gods. The massive (and stunning) cathedral in Svartrau is filled with portraits and stained glass windows that depict hellish scenes instead of holy ones. All of this perfectly sets the tone, and adds a ton of aura and mystique to the world. Time System: The time system is brilliant. Each day and night is broken into 8 time segments. Minor quests and activities cost 1 time segment, while major side quests can cost 3 or more. This actively forces you to decide which activities are worth prioritizing. That also goes for the skill tree. Not only does learning a new skill require skill points, but many of them require you to find a manual first. These can be earned in various ways from quests, to combat and treasure, and buying them from shops. But learning new skills often requires you to invest time as well. Once again, this forces you to decide which skills are actually worth focusing on. Upgrading 3 or 4 skills can wipe out half your night. It may sound punishing, but I actually think it's balanced well. I took down Brencis's three captains (Ambrus, Xanthe, and Bakir), cleared several major faction quests, and unlocked plenty of new skills, and still had 14 days leftover for open world exploration and clearing even more side quests. Gameplay: Gameplay completely changes based on the time of day. At night, Vampire form unlocks entirely new traversal options like the Shadowstep and Clawride to navigate rooftops. During the day, Coen can visit shops and interact with NPCs roaming the streets. This adds a lot of depth and variety to the world, and requires different approaches based on the time of day. Combat: Combat was actually better than I expected. The directional combat forces you to not only learn enemy attack patterns, but also react to the direction. It feels MUCH better in practice than it does from watching gameplay. There's also an ability wheel, that you can assign to shortcuts on the D-Pad (more on that later). All of this results in a combat system that was surprisingly engaging, and I would argue is actually better than W3's combat. Human form can be a lot more punishing due to your limited healing. In human form, food is significantly nerfed when you're in combat. Outside of a combat, a single apple will fully heal you over the course of 50 seconds. But this effect is severely limited during combat. The best way to heal mid-combat is by crafting healing potions from the Crafting menu. These potions require several resources though, which can be a lot harder to come by compared to random food items. This is a BIG lesson I think they learned from The Witcher 3. In Witcher 3, you could pretty much spam food items and heal infinitely by pressing a single button. In Dawnwalker, healing items are harder to come by, so you really have to make that one health bar count. Vampire form is a lot more forgiving though, and is overall stronger (as Coen himself admits). You can drain enemy health mid-combat, and there are simply more healing options overall. The trade-off for this is that drinking blood increases your Corruption meter. Your claws also deal more damage, and are snappier overall. Skill Tree: The skill tree is split into three major categories - Witchcraft, Swordmastery, and Vampirism. I focused mainly on Swordmastery and Vampirism. Witchcraft is only available in human form, and requires a lot more investment early on. Witchcraft abilities also come with the trade-off of sacrificing your health every time you use an ability. This can be mitigated with enough skill point and time investment, but I found the other two to be better for the early to mid game, especially since health comes at a premium in human form. Swordmastery abilities can be used either day or night and have a good variety of skills. Vampire skills can only be used at night, and focus on draining enemy health, and dealing bleed damage over time. Story: The story is actually quite good. Technically there's only one main quest - kill Brencis. Everything else is completely optional. But going straight to Brencis will result in you facing him severely underleveled and ill-equipped for the challenge. IMO there's a priority list of what quests you should focus on. Your first priority should be taking out the three captains Ambrus, Xanthe, and Bakir. Then, complete the major side quests chains related to various factions in the game. There's a faction quest featuring a rebel army called the Manumits, who are attempting to form a people's uprising against Brencis. There's another featuring Lacra, a fellow vrakhiri that's out to kill Brencis for her own reasons. Then there's one for Anca, the herbalist from your village, and a clear love interest that unlocks more knowledge on religion and Witchcraft in the game. These faction quests are easily some of the best in the game. Lacra's storyline unlocked a lot more backstory on Brencis and on the vampires themselves. The Manumit storyline explains how the citizens are organizing to fight back against Brencis. Completing these storylines not only gives you great backstory, but could also potentially unlock them as allies when you ultimately face Brencis. The catch is that you may not have enough time to do all of them in one playthrough - so I would suggest focusing on the ones that you find the most interesting first. Branching Paths: Narratively, the amount of branching paths and outcomes is truly staggering. The game remembers EVERY choice you make, which can often have side effects several hours later. Saving a random villager can unlock a favorable outcome much later in the game. A peaceful choice with an Uriashi woman in the city of Svartrau resulted in her village's leader on the other side of the map treating me as an ally, instead of attacking on sight. I would LOVE to know how many different endings and outcomes there are in this game, because every small decision you make has a lasting effect on the game world. Voice Acting: The voice acting is also top-tier across the board. I was floored by some of the voice performances from even the most random characters. Facial animations can be a little inconsistent, but the strong voice acting definitely makes up for it. Performance: As for performance, the game can be pretty heavy at 4K, but is surprisingly polished on day one. I encountered very few bugs, if any. The lighting, art direction, and thick foliage look stunning but I did struggle to maintain a consistent 4K 60 even at above the recommended specs. It was fine after lowering some settings though and 1440p is a lot more forgiving. Summary: ✅ Excellent story and voice acting ✅ Meaningful choices and branching paths ✅ Time management system ✅ Day/night mechanics ✅ Directional combat system ✅ Worldbuilding ✅ Visuals ❌ Some performance hiccups at 4K ❌ 30 FPS cutscenes ❌ Some targeting issues ❌ Can't flee or escape combat ❌ Inconsistent facial animations ❌ Map screen bug (known issue) Blood of Dawnwalker isn't just about clearing map markers. It makes you weigh the cost of every decision you make - your time, your health, and even your morals. The limited time to save your family is always in the back of your mind, resulting in an incredibly engaging RPG that requires you to fight for every minute. Most of my cons are minor technical issues that can easily be fixed with a day one patch. Rebel Wolves have done a fantastic job, and to me, this is a very strong candidate for RPG of the year. Final Score: 9/10 Playtime: 40 hours Platform: Steam Thanks to Bandai Namco for providing a review copy. #TheBloodofDawnwalker #Dawnwalker Dawnwalker
