Myarcadeplanet talks about some of the cheaper moves in gaming. This week, it's the bunny hop.
"But what about those cheap moves, that aren't officially cheating? The ones that should be unwritten rules, but are so frequent, it seems implausible to consider them wrong. I thought I'd point out some of the ones I have seen in my days, spent tromping around Azeroth in WoW, fighting under the bright computer generated rays of the sun in Battlefield 2, or in other places where gamers from all over the world come together online to beat the living pixels out of each other.
The first, and the one I dislike with the most intensity, is the Bunny Jump (trademark undoubtedly applied for). I'm sure you've all seen this move in action or have even done it yourself. For those of you who haven't seen this, or call it something that I can't spell or can't type here for reasons of possible censorship, I will describe a typical case in which the Bunny Jump is employed."
"30XX is one of the best roguelikes out there, combining the tight platforming action of the Mega Man X series with the challenge and randomization that roguelike fans crave. Batterystaple Games has done lots of refinement through updates since 30XX first appeared on Steam Early access a few years ago. The latest such update adds a new character for free, one who combines the best attributes of the two existing characters. Also, the Steam version is on sale, making it a great time to travel to the distant year of 30XX!" says Co-Optimus.
"Hammerwatch II's journey to Xbox has been long and perilous. After first launching on Steam in the fall of 2023, the game finally turned up on PlayStation 5 last December. Since then, Xbox gamers who enjoyed the original Hammerwatch and the sublime Heroes of Hammerwatch have been anxiously awaiting their turn at the long-promised sequel. At last, the wait is nearly over because Hammerwatch II will hit Xbox and PlayStation 4 on April 23," says Co-Optimus.
Joe 'Three Sheets' Neate (Executive Producer): "As I’m sure you can imagine, when it comes to Sea of Thieves my days are full of numbers. Development costs, active servers, days until the next update… Sometimes, though, a truly extraordinary number stands out – a number like 40 million, which I’m incredibly pleased to say is the number of pirates who’ve now set sail in Sea of Thieves!"
Garrr... more people to walk the plank and send to Davey Jones locker.
would have been funny to release this on talk like a pirate day.
40 million have set sail...that's great. How many are sailing now? Monthly active users....when it actually matters. How many people purchased the game is another important number.
40 Mil across Stream, Windows 10, and Xbox. Healthy numbers for sure, but when PC is the biggest platform, I expected more. It’ll be interesting to see how it does on PlayStation. Very well could be double that player count in 6 months with PS too. It’s crazy for developers to skip the most popular platform, not sure why they’d want to, but they must have had their rea$ons.
hop hop and away
hoppitty hop
What game would you not do this, i've never really seen it looked down upon.
