The mocap tech looks a little dated now but it's impressive for the times, and totally functional even today. Fun to catch out characters on their lies by watching their facial expressions

Yeah I'm not sure why we haven't seen something like it since then

Should work even better with today's tech

[dark swift]

Well I imagine its fairly pricey...and then trying to move that tech to something like UE5 most definitely would have an increased cost/effort. But who knows!

[hasty heath]

Could be, could be

[fallow sequoia]

all AAA story-based 3D games are made with mocap now, no?

[dark swift]

They are, but the facial tech for LA Noire was quite exquisite.

[fallow sequoia]

based on what square enix showed us, as well as ubisoft, as that can be replicated easily. oh and quantic dream nailed that tech ages ago with beyond two souls

[hasty heath]

Yeah it was a scanning and mocap tool at once. So they didn't even have to model the character's faces and then apply the mocap to the rig, it was like

1:1 scanned into the engine

[hasty heath]

But yes it could absolutely be recreated today in some way

[fallow sequoia]

there has to be a use case for it as well, other than graphic fidelity. which is why I think only LA noir uses it because lies and detective work etc

it made sense

[dark swift]

That too.

[hasty heath]

Right, I'm just surprised nobody has bothered to make a game like that since then

[fallow sequoia]

but the tech should be there, and easy to create compared to what was before

[fallow sequoia]

rockstar only wants to make money from gta online for the time being

which is sad

[hasty heath]

Well the studio that made LA Noire was closed after its release because of poor working conditions or something like that

Rockstar only published it

[fallow sequoia]

oh I thought rockstar made it too

mb

actually we were both correct

rockstar leeds, a sub of rockstar co-developed it

but it still stands as they own the IP, and rockstar did make max payne 3 after remedy moved on

[finite spade]

@shell stream rounds??

[shell stream]

Not today sorry I will be able to tomorrow tho

[finite spade]

alright 👍

[abstract walrus]

anyone know any cheat to unlock bendwill shout in skyrim ? 🫥

[proper island]

No 😦

[abstract walrus]

It's granted throughout the Dragonborn Expansion's questline

[crimson heart]

anyone got yugioh master duel?

[fallow sequoia]

So a friend of mine played Control and this thing stuck to him. The whole level

[lament pilot]

LMAO

I miss control, such a good game

[sage cairn]

anyone here a division 2 guy or girl

I have 1600shd anyone wanna play

[thorny atlas]

anyone here play any Battlefield except for 2042? let me know
edit: PC, Eu region

[wispy lynx]

I play BF1 and 5, but I'm in US unfortunately

[thorny atlas]

ah sh*t!

it's fine

wish my ping was good but it still not that good even here in eu for me lol

[wispy lynx]

I think on wired connection I may be able to do EU servers, I used to play on some German BF1 servers when there weren't many US ones available before the game got popular again

[thorny atlas]

what's your ping when playing on EU?

[wispy lynx]

Ranges from like 100-136 I think, I'll have to hop on and check again to see if anything has changed

[thorny atlas]

if it's that then you're fine! I play like that too lol

[wispy lynx]

Ah nice, I'll def see if the ping is that low, which should still be fine for BF1 since the ttk is a bit higher than others and the movement is also a bit slower

[thorny atlas]

great! my origin is lagfx-x let me know when you wanna play.

[wispy lynx]

[sage cairn]

you can now buy cosmetics on among us!?

[gilded laurel]

yeah, for quite a while too

BAHAH

[fallow sequoia]

Played mostly in season 6, this is what it looks like

[halcyon sage]

oh man, wish I still had my accounts

[fallow sequoia]

I'm getting into it again although it's not what it used to be

I can't keep up

[halcyon sage]

nah I'd much rather not

some videos pop up here and there and the new items actually don't seem fun at all

[fallow sequoia]

They're definitely not

The entire item rework.... I hate it

[ocean osprey]

Here's mine lol

you can see I had multiple role identity crisises during my 1 year playing on and off

[muted grotto]

How does one even keep up with that many characters to select from?

Like R6 has heroes but the only real difference is the gadget, the rest are more or less the same so I can keep track

[halcyon sage]

when you play the game for 10 years, you start knowing what each champ does from experience

[fallow sequoia]

You didn’t have to attack me like that

[halcyon sage]

I attacked myself too

[fallow sequoia]

Caught in the crossfire

[abstract walrus]

Same thing with Siege

[halcyon sage]

https://tenor.com/view/self-burn-brooklyn-nine-rare-andy-samberg-detective-jake-peralta-gif-5606998

[abstract walrus]

I've played Siege so much I know what each gun sounds like and who would be using it

[muted grotto]

Same

[uneven urchin]

I wouldn’t but I have played it enough to criticize people who would use inefficient and unreliable operators and guns.

I know most maps, their choke points, strengths and weaknesses.. but mostly how to make the enemy team trap themselves.. I like trappers like Kap, Lesion and Frost… Ela etc

Anything to take them off their game fuels me to roam with nonsensical operators

A. Roaming Kaid, just saying

[dawn elbow]

I don't play this game anymore or else Vex would be there too hehe

[halcyon sage]

some of my accounts

yes I play Vi and Jhin, how could you tell

[halcyon sage]

wish I played more Kindred tbh

always loved their gameplay

[dawn elbow]

I seee an adc main

Kindred is a lovely champion!

TBH with you the only reason there are non-Veigar champions here is because my friends staged an intervention long ago and forced me to stop being a OTP.

[halcyon sage]

I (used to) wish I could play anything but adc and vi

[dawn elbow]

If it ain't broke, what's there to fix

[halcyon sage]

takes true dedication to stick to your role/champ even when they're bad

[dawn elbow]

Veigar has never been bad, he's my ride or die

[halcyon sage]

the only reason you see vayne in any of those is from 2015's tank meta

[dawn elbow]

Yes even during the many assassin metas ok don't correct me I'm right

[dawn elbow]

smart, you actually adapted to the meta, ahaha

[halcyon sage]

veigar, especially pre-rework, always struck me as anti-assassin

[halcyon sage]

also kog/lulu

[dawn elbow]

Assassin's can easily dodge/get out of your stun and your meteor likely won't hit unless you stun, ruining your whole burst combo 😬

love how versatile lulu is<3

[halcyon sage]

brush veigar used to wake me up at night

[dawn elbow]

The bane of my existence as a Veigar main were Zed, Talon, Fizz

[halcyon sage]

oh man

I miss when qss removed zed ult

[dawn elbow]

I miss DFG 😭

[halcyon sage]

tbh I wanna get back to league, but new items like heartsteel make me not want to play ngl

[halcyon sage]

[abstract walrus]

Wish Siege had a website that shows lifetime stats

[dawn elbow]

I don't even know what heartsteel is, probably for the best LOL

[halcyon sage]

since you know DFG, remember patch 4.20?

[abstract walrus]

All I've got is this lol

[halcyon sage]

seems like stats you get from third-party websites

[abstract walrus]

It is

[fallow sequoia]

me 🤝 blues

being jhin mains

[dawn elbow]

Which was that? It's like ancient history

[halcyon sage]

one word: weedwick

[fallow sequoia]

patch 4.20? weedwick patch?

[abstract walrus]

Ubisoft has a built in stat tracker now but it only tracks per season and I haven't played it in a hot minute

[fallow sequoia]

KNEW IT

[halcyon sage]

HAHA

[halcyon sage]

oh wow, stats like the league ones are always fun to look back on

[fallow sequoia]

do you also remember the phrase "ADC in 2017 LUL"

sad times

[halcyon sage]

that phrase started in 2014

[fallow sequoia]

in season 6, we adc mains were eating good

then preseason 7 started

[halcyon sage]

don't think you'd remember the holy trinity of Graves, Lucian and Corki

[fallow sequoia]

ahem

check my pic again

🙂

[dawn elbow]

Since I started season 4 maybe I was too much of a noob to understand the meta

[halcyon sage]

the holy trinity was in S3/S4

pre-rework Graves

[fallow sequoia]

interesting, i mained graves and lucian too back then

[halcyon sage]

patch 4.20 introduced red smite with the jungle enchants

AP Yi times were fun but broken

the game feels waaay too fast paced now

leona stun was like 12s back then

last time I played last year I left it at 3 seconds

[dawn elbow]

Hmmm don't remember

[fallow sequoia]

@halcyon sage

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xn5E-G81FY

this hurt my soul when I watched it back then

all that work just to get got by a Lee sin

[halcyon sage]

ah yes, I too enjoyed doing negative damage

[abstract walrus]

Wish I had a game that people actually play that they're being nostalgic about

[dawn elbow]

I do remember when they changed Veigar's stun from instant to a timer and Q to a skillshot. I was mad about the stun because before that I hit it every single time. But really it was stupid that it was instant lol

[halcyon sage]

notice how fast luc dies

[fallow sequoia]

lucian is my main and seeing my boy be so USELESS IN S7 MADE ME CRY

[halcyon sage]

I don't even remember what I played in S7

[fallow sequoia]

i actually quit league in s7 and came back in s11 lol

[halcyon sage]

oh right I spammed vi that year

[halcyon sage]

yeah some changes were VERY necessary

[dawn elbow]

I think somewhere in 7 is when I quit if I remember correctly

[fallow sequoia]

i started spamming fiora to counter the tanks with true damage. i was so sick of it

[halcyon sage]

old GP for instance was such a meme champ

taric too

[dawn elbow]

Omg yes ahaha

I remember old urgot, the laughing stock of the rift

[halcyon sage]

yorick was an old fav of mine HAHA

[fallow sequoia]

i remember the old E of old GP. you had to kill a friendly minion to get the attack speed buff. that meant you could kill a friendly heimer's turrets

[dawn elbow]

Such a hipster ahaha

[fallow sequoia]

they changed that pretty quickly

[halcyon sage]

one other thing I miss is old ezreal actually

like OLD old ezreal

back when his W healed

[fallow sequoia]

it could heal towers

[halcyon sage]

W -> E to heal and give yourself an as boost

wish they could open old school servers tbh

[fallow sequoia]

old jax when dodge runes were a thing. camp the enemy fountain

[halcyon sage]

DODGE RUNES HAHAHA

OR THE 1% CRIT IN LANE

[fallow sequoia]

who was that youtube who did that

'1% crit janna mid lane

[halcyon sage]

back then there was SivHD who was VERY big

oh man old akali too

the one rework I wish they'd undo

[fallow sequoia]

new akali on release was way more broken imo

her shroud made you invisible to turrets

big yikes

[halcyon sage]

yup

also sad aatrox became riven 2.0

[sage cairn]

https://tenor.com/view/sweaty-speedrunner-epic-gamer-sweatyspeedrunner-gif-22461398

Akali is the best

[fallow sequoia]

yeah, they just removed his revive

called it a day

[halcyon sage]

correction: added revive -> removed revive -> added revive via stacking red bar -> made it passive -> removed it

[fallow sequoia]

oh

he's so forgetful that i don't even remember

[fallow sequoia]

when in ranked with old katarina

[halcyon sage]

I vividly remember the stacking red bar cuz I played Vi top a lot back then

[fallow sequoia]

vi jungle

the bane of my existence when playing kat

[halcyon sage]

she's the only reason I even contemplate going back to league

[sage cairn]

do you guys still play?

[fallow sequoia]

i'm assuming that watching arcane is making that itch worse

@sage cairn yes

[dawn elbow]

Omg I met Hai before, what a wonderful era in esports

[halcyon sage]

not anymore but I'd definitely be down for customs or normals

[halcyon sage]

I quote sneaky and meteos with my friends sometimes

[dawn elbow]

Omg meteos 🤦‍♀️

[fallow sequoia]

i met team dignitas at a game con, but it wasn't the league team. it was the quake team

comic con stockholm in 2014

i think

[dawn elbow]

I was at LCS when meteos got kicked from the team or whatever

I was a big Team Liquid fan though

When Fenix was mid

[halcyon sage]

I was more EULCS tbh

loved old fnatic and origen ( ) back then

[halcyon sage]

think I'll rewatch some of dunkey's league videos today

[fallow sequoia]

does he still do the april first troll videos where one second is league footage?

[halcyon sage]

I think he does? haven't watched him in a while

[fallow sequoia]

haven't watched him in years

imo he fell off

but it'

it's good that he started his own indie game publishing thing

[halcyon sage]

tbh his content is still funny, dunkview is crazy funny and informative

tbh as long as he enjoys what he's doing I'm happy for him

[vale nebula]

played some of that Hyenas game in the alpha playtest. not bad, sort of similar concept to the finals sans destruction

tone and style is worse than the finals though

or at least i don't find it to be my thing

[tepid summit]

Prob best game reviewer

[crystal bloom]

i really didn't like hyenas

felt like they tried to pack it with personality but it ended up feeling hollow and generic

[vale nebula]

yea it didn't click with me in terms of style

but its a solid fps, mechanically speaking

[ocean osprey]

yuo

the voicelines and announcer annoyed me out of this world

they tried to be cool and stuff but failed miserably and it sounded unbelievably cringe

[vale nebula]

definitely

fortunately for them, that's somethign (if there's enough negative feedback) they could easily patch out/change

Hello

[hasty heath]

I think his content is better than ever tbh

[sage cairn]

Heyy, anyone here plays league? I might start to play the game again... if anyone is adc i can support

[hasty heath]

Don't do that to yourself

[sage cairn]

why

[hasty heath]

It's league

[ocean osprey]

I'd listen to hank but if you want a bronze adc I can go with you

rarely play adc, moved to midlane a while ago and climbed flex silver last season with it

and I'll be playing with an alt acc as my main is at singapore rn

all champs, 50 skin shards, legendary permanent+ultimate of your choice for 2600rp and not being able to play normally for a while

worth for me as I'm not really playing anyways

[ocean osprey]

but you must be euw right?

[fallow sequoia]

Eh, let them enjoy the game if they want to. League is fun with friends, which is why they asked here if someone plays

[halcyon sage]

I'd be down to play sometime next week 👀

[dark swift]

Go to bed Blues

BfBB is like unironically a great platforming game

It's like Psychonauts but spongebob

BfBB was a classic growing up

Still waiting for Silksong, should release this year as implied through that Xbox showcase last year

[fallow sequoia]

finally getting around to playing the ps5 exclusives, this is the one i was looking forward to the most

[fallow sequoia]

enjoy! I loved this game so much

[dark swift]

What have you guys been playing lately, in the co-op territory?

or Multiplayer in general

[wispy lynx]

Recently started playing a bit of Star Wars Battlefront 2 again, I nearly exclusively just play the co-op missions

[dark swift]

Never really played Battlefront games, but I've always heard good stuff about 'em

[wispy lynx]

I played the first one (2015 version) a lot, it was really fun, the second one is also pretty great

Get it on a sale, it has some good multiplayer modes and also some good co-op and singleplayer stuff

[dark swift]

I might just start something chill idk, maybe a new Stardew run

I also didn't carry on through with Dinkum nor Core Keeper

[wispy lynx]

I need to check on my animal crossing village, it's been a minute lol

I really enjoyed Dinkum, even though it sadly has none of the perfect animal frens

But some very solid and needed competition to ACNH

[wispy lynx]

I'll truly be happy when we get either Hytale or Palia are out

I want it sooooo bad

I hope the modding tool really goes hard, can't wait to model some voxel creatures

This trailer Devolver always delivers

[abstract walrus]

The battlefront 2 coop is good

Especially the clone wars era, everyone running around with lightsabers

i dont remember there being a DLC lol @craggy echo

i mean i got the game for free on epic 2 years ago so probs didnt konw

[abstract walrus]

Yeap

2 Expansions

[craggy echo]

First is Foundation, is amazing

[sage cairn]

is that game new?

[abstract walrus]

Not that new

Think it came out in 2019

[sage cairn]

is it looter shooter? :333

[abstract walrus]

No

[sage cairn]

oh.. then idc xd

[abstract walrus]

rough

[craggy echo]

it's single player haha

[sage cairn]

but i love the art

i'm a sucker for art

[craggy echo]

there is loot and shoot however

[craggy echo]

Adds two new sectors haha

[lament pilot]

weird im not getting pinged on othergames lol

oh so expeditions was a DLC

i guess it was free cuz i played a bit of it but not the other 2

[craggy echo]

yep yep

[lament pilot]

[lament pilot]

dayummm

im ngl one of the sectors was a puzzleee

[craggy echo]

which

[lament pilot]

i think sectors being hard to go through was a design choice

i forgot but i think it was the one with the whole reactor

noooooo

i have noew

||

👃 i got ur nose

[craggy echo]

Yeah the maintenance

[lament pilot]

ah ye

[craggy echo]

ohhhh

on ps plus Control Ultimate edition is free

Ultimate edition includes all the DLCs

[lament pilot]

some of my fav visually cool moments:

• running in that seemingly infinite open room where janitor tells you some important stuff
• the hotline OOP scene
• last scene in the story where you go through the platforms to the pyramid
• and this part in the middle where your brain is thinking of ur brother and then all the flashbacks scenes and omg so many fucking cool things

also how the real life Jesse faden is a 1:1 replica lmfao

[craggy echo]

The DLCs are 12 dollars in total

[lament pilot]

playstation isnt free tho :_)

[craggy echo]

If anyone was wondering

[lament pilot]

ill just purchase the ultimate edition i think

separately

cuz fuck epic games

[craggy echo]

bruh

lmao

[lament pilot]

(except of free games)

i actually just dont enjoy any launcher except of steam cuz of bias

[craggy echo]

f💢k epic games, except for Unreal Engine, we love them for that

[lament pilot]

yepp haha

unreal engine marketplace is so poorly designed tho lmao

[craggy echo]

and fortnite, which looks so good now because of Lumen

[lament pilot]

i gotta go through so many hoops to get my 5 free monthly assets :_)

[craggy echo]

😍

still can't get over it

[lament pilot]

it is truly uncanny and surreal to see such beautiful graphics on the goofiest game

but very impressive tech

[craggy echo]

Proof that accurate lighting makes any artstyle pop

[lament pilot]

def def

[craggy echo]

even cartoons

like Ratchet and Clank

[lament pilot]

color theory is hard man

help me :_)

[craggy echo]

it's a skill you gotta learn

[lament pilot]

so good

[craggy echo]

but you can't unlearn it

so there's that

[lament pilot]

yeah true!

but the good part is that we all know color theory in a way

like when we see stuff and if we observe for a while, we know why something looks good

but we just cant apply it hahahah (without studying it even more)

what a teaser

[craggy echo]

That's just having a good eye for colour

[lament pilot]

yeah but that plays an essential part no?

[craggy echo]

if you can look at something and say "that's too bright/green/dark/red"

then you can adjust it

so it really helps

[lament pilot]

yeah

[craggy echo]

do it over and over again and then your art has perfect lighting

[lament pilot]

but you'd still need structure, points of interests and focus on the subject etc etc

i guess thats what makes perfecting art virtually impossible

by the time you perfect something you're.... dead ig

maybe that applies to everything

thats why you gotta be like me and steal people's color palettes

[craggy echo]

or you learn it quick cause you're just good

[lament pilot]

teach me your powers

[abstract walrus]

@hasty heath Fatshark sent out a open letter a hour or two ago.

[hasty heath]

Yeah

It's a mess

Managed to drag this info out of the CM

that's a whole situation they got over there

The fact that Microsoft is making a minecraft RTS is beyond me

But I also love RTS games so uh, yes please

[craggy echo]

Redfall footage incoming 👀

[muted grotto]

I'm more interested in Horizon Online

[craggy echo]

I'm interested in ARC Raiders 👀

[shell stream]

Maybe 👀

[abstract walrus]

No lmao

[shell stream]

Oh a rhythm game

[craggy echo]

sorry I was unclear haha

[craggy echo]

plus movement

also damn the whole world bounces with rhythm

and they got Spiderman aircombat 😭

love it!

[shell stream]

Lmao

The walls too

[craggy echo]

damn the music inclusion is awesome

everything is based on the beat

[abstract walrus]

The people wanting starfield to be shown are clowning themselves

[shell stream]

Oh?

Tonight?

Damnnnn

[craggy echo]

WHATTT

[abstract walrus]

wha

lmao

[craggy echo]

the best type of reveal!!

imagine if other reveals did that haha

like Apex did

[abstract walrus]

I was wondering why there were talking a lot about the game weirdly

[craggy echo]

yeah

oh right

well it's the only trailer/marketing the game gets before release haha

[shell stream]

FORZA

[abstract walrus]

They literally showed half of the boss battles and all of the companions

[shell stream]

WAIT
WHAT

DID THEY TALK ABOUT FORZA???

ALREADY

[craggy echo]

YEAH

[abstract walrus]

Yes

[craggy echo]

go back

[shell stream]

NO I DIDN'T SEE

OH

WHAT

[abstract walrus]

I like ESO but dear lord I never can get into it

[shell stream]

Oh i thought it was a new game totally

[craggy echo]

also I never really got what racing gameplay they could really use to hype people up for racing games 😭

[abstract walrus]

It is kinda weird when they set anything in Morrowind because it basically doesn't exist anymore past Oblivion

[shell stream]

Do you know the timestamp of the Forza one was?

[abstract walrus]

It was like 19 minutes ago

[shell stream]

K thank you

[craggy echo]

does your youtube not have like a lil preview in the bar?

[shell stream]

It does

wait a sec

[craggy echo]

the resolution though 💀

oh that's pretty good actually

[muted grotto]

I thought that game was a myth 👀

[abstract walrus]

Vamire games gonna jumpscare me

Love to see it

fuck I called it lmao

[shell stream]

LOL

Doom but with vampire

[abstract walrus]

I'm excited for this

Love me some vampire media

I feel like It'll come out in april or may

[shell stream]

Bet tonight

Coop?

[craggy echo]

gotta say the quality is noticeably lower than their other projects, even for a showcase demo, but I can live with that since they opted for open-world and multiplayer

[shell stream]

I was thinking that

[craggy echo]

@wispy lynx ^^

[wispy lynx]

ah

[abstract walrus]

I mean to be fair it;'s hard to make a game that looks bad nowadays

This looks fine

I'm liking some of the characters

[wispy lynx]

im disappointed by the lack of movement abilities, kinda seems like an odd all over the place vision for what this game and world should be

[abstract walrus]

Shield didn't do much for her lol

[muted grotto]

Any good games? I wasn't able to watch it.

[shell stream]

Forza motorsport 8

[wispy lynx]

“games that are hard to define” lol that’s not necessarily a good thing

[abstract walrus]

I like the Minecraft RTS

[shell stream]

May 2nd

Ok

[abstract walrus]

Hey I was right

[craggy echo]

pushing the envelope is always nice, maybe not for this game but for the ones that come after it

hybrid genres help to desaturate the overall scene

[wispy lynx]

i agree with that, but this definitely aint it lol

[craggy echo]

I hate to agree 😭

[wispy lynx]

hopefully they’ll learn from it and make something even better

[shell stream]

The new forza looks great'

[abstract walrus]

As chat is saying

'where starfield'

[craggy echo]

if this game doesn't perform as well I hope they return to the single-player goodness that they've been producing. Prey, Dishonored or Deathloop sequel would make my year!

[wispy lynx]

they have a different show for starfield

[abstract walrus]

I know

I'm just making fun of the chat asking where it is lol

Redfall looks like it'll be good, and I love minecraft so a RTS of it is right up my alley

[craggy echo]

they have feedback and know which areas to improve. the open design in their games is always amazing

[wispy lynx]

starfield had better show some good gameplay, im still not sold on it

[craggy echo]

it seems to have the ideas for an amazing project. Very ambitious

[abstract walrus]

They're making a multiplayer game because Prey and Dishonored 2 sold abysmally

[craggy echo]

yeah 😔

money >> passion 😭

[wispy lynx]

fingers crossed it delivers. star citizen is still not in a fantastic state in terms of optimization and exploration outside of some main areas

then again, i havent touched star citizen in over a year because it ran so terribly

[craggy echo]

undeserved, might be to do with marketing. both games have attained over 90% in reviews

[abstract walrus]

Oh I'm not saying they're bad

I think the setting change in Dishonored 2 might've taken some wind out of it's sales. I got into the first Dishonored because of the whole plague victorian era aesthetic.

[craggy echo]

I honestly think that games like those are some of the best single-player experiences I've had

but due to their nature they aren't being made anymore and that just makes me sad

one of the reasons I love The Finals so much is that one of its core tenets is letting the player do their own thing

[wispy lynx]

https://tenor.com/view/the-finals-vnl-volleyball-siatkowka-siatkarski-gif-gif-22131697

[craggy echo]

idk if any of you have ever played Prey

[wispy lynx]

some games these days legit do seem scared of letting players do their own thing, let em wreak havoc i say

[craggy echo]

but one of my most memorable gaming experiences was in Prey where I broke into an area I really wasn't supposed to be in yet by shooting the door's touchscreen with a toy crossbow from the opposite side of the room through the window

and everything in the game world is attainable in multiple ways

everything has dual purpose, if not triple or quadruple

I love that the friendly AI will all turn on you if you upgrade enough down the 'alien' paths of the skilltree

[craggy echo]

the open-ended design is so integral there's a tutorial for it in prey, and multiple tutorials for it in dishonored 1 and 2!

[vale nebula]

prey is great

one of my favorite games to come out that year

i was slightly disappointed by deathloop but i'm inclined to give it another try. part of that was likely due to how poorly it performed on my old pc

[lament pilot]

big surprise

The Day Before got delayed for 9 months

[wispy lynx]

https://tenor.com/view/another-delay-casey-kirwan-delayed-again-late-again-more-setback-gif-20803973

Because they probs don't have much to begin with

That company basically makes barebones games to get some money and then they move on to the next project

It's a shame because some of the mechanics they advertise seem like good ones, even if those were all possibly just renders or simply put together and disconnected from an actual game

[lament pilot]

p much lol

apparently according to a resigned 'volunteer dev' they're doing all of this just to promote their own studio's mobile games

they think its a genius marketing tool (which it is if the game was real)

[wispy lynx]

I think that would still technically be illegal or at least very scummy because they have a release date, they have "gameplay" footage, and they keep on hyping it up to be a good PC and/or console game, only for them to just admit that there was no game and that they were just trying to get attention for their mobile game with some similar ideas

[lament pilot]

yeah its definitely illegal, but as long as they get the game out 'sub-par' then they wont get into any legal trouble

there is probably a barebones game and they wouldn't be half lying because making pretty games is not that hard anymore with a studio of that size and a free and accessible engine liek UE

[abstract walrus]

discord why must you send random things when I don't mean to :C

[wispy lynx]

The bit that I'm honestly the most disappointed in is the weapons customization. I just thought the animations looked rather clean and I'd love to see that in a game

everything else was rather eh

[lament pilot]

cuz it was all pre rendered 😭

now i knmow the importance of knowing whats real and fake on the internet :_)

[wispy lynx]

[valid spoke]

Hi-Fi Rush is so good

It's so refreshing

[slim lynx]

IXION Has killed my anticipation for new video games :(

[hasty heath]

I did a ghost/clean hands run in dishonored 1, definitely top 5 singleplayer games for me. incredibly memorable experience

dishonored 2 fell flat for me by comparison. the atmosphere was not nearly as good.

(also emily's teleport thing sucks compared to corvo's blink, i tried to do ghost/clean hands again and it was just miserable. especially the clockwork mansion. fuck that place)

[abstract walrus]

I find the clockwork mansion to be like the best level they've ever made lol

[abstract walrus]

I was shocked they just dropped it that fast

I hear it's insanely good

[muted grotto]

Dead Space reviews are looking pretty good

[tropic plank]

I'm so excited the first two Dead Spaces are my golden examples for how to do modern survival horror. The opening sequence in two where you're in the straight jacket is still one of the craziest opening sequences I have ever played.

[abstract walrus]

I'm excited for something else EA owns

Petrograph Games, the guys that are made out of ex-westwood devs.

nvm I am wrong

[vale nebula]

a new skate game is criminally overdue

[craggy echo]

pretty sure one is in beta testing right now

[vale nebula]

so i hear

[crystal bloom]

it's still in pre alpha last i heard

maybe alpha

[runic meteor]

Hi-Fi Rush is soooo so good, complete success in my book

[runic meteor]

Ghost of tsushima, what a game!

[proper island]

i want to try it one day

[runic meteor]

Is it out on PC? Played on PS4 when it came out

[crystal bloom]

no pc port yet

but there were leaks indicating there would be one

[tropic plank]

Mann I'm replaying Valheim for the first time since it's release and this game is just peak Comfy

[craggy echo]

Dead Space Remake looks very very good

[chrome yoke]

Oh, that screenshot looks extra mmmhmmm... GoT is calling me.

[muted grotto]

Pretty good so far

[thorny atlas]

@abstract walrus I see you in the battlefield! I'm coming hope my ping isn't too bad

[abstract walrus]

[thorny atlas]

anyone here play any Battlefield, Hunt showdown, elden ring (if there is a way), left4dead2... must be EU on pc otherwise ping is gonna suffer lol

[vale nebula]

played dead space remake last night. really good

[dark swift]

Do we have any MMO Boomers in the house? I'm curious to know if anyone also suffers with missing old dated grindy MMOs for a second or two

[uneven urchin]

I remember

it was.. some time ago

Aion

[dark swift]

Oh boy

[uneven urchin]

and.. Rift

and...

I think I tried over 6 MMOs in that time

only WoW got me hooked for a couple a months per release

[dark swift]

I think it was last year when I decided to play the 01 free hour of Aion with two other jaded friends

[uneven urchin]

except for.. WoW Legion.. that I played through properly

[dark swift]

Surprisingly for me Rift is something I tried more recently, like 1 or 2 year-ish ago. It is a very interesting game, sadly the whole catch up due to being dead thing kinda made it an odd one.

[uneven urchin]

fun fact about Rift

[dark swift]

I played WoW on and off for a few expansions too, but didn't hook me as much as other old ones I suppose

[uneven urchin]

I found out that the racechange wasn't limited to one faction

so I was playing the "dark" side as a dwarf at some point haha

[dark swift]

Oh wow

I mean that sounds like a fun time for people that RP I guess. But then again I don't know if that is even a thing around the Rift community

[uneven urchin]

I think it was a broken thing

I don't think it was meant to be possible.. I am contemplating logging in to check if I am still a dwarf

[dark swift]

Oh for sure

I've been tempted to drag Blues to play Ragnarok since I discovered he was also a RO addict like me

[abstract walrus]

I know my dad used to play City of Heroes a lot

[dark swift]

Oh wow

I have a friend that is a sucker for CoH

[abstract walrus]

You can still play it

As it turns out after the game shut down someone got a master copy of it or something and started hosting a private server with his friends.

[dark swift]

Yup I played with him there

[abstract walrus]

Apparently it only went public because a guy got tired of the people playing it gaslighting people questioning how these guys that haven't played the game in a few years were remembering everything.

[dark swift]

Private server revivals of dead games are fascinating

[wispy lynx]

There are a few different private WoW servers that are up and running because much of it is considered abandonware

OW1 will be able to follow suit soon as well

[dark swift]

We're going to play a little bit of BFV on NA probably - If anyone wants to chime in!

Currently at the Lobby VC

[sage cairn]

i dont have BFV but i can join in a bit :3

[dark swift]

Come chit chat too!

[sage cairn]

i dont have voice i can just listen xd

[wispy lynx]

[dark swift]

All good!

[wispy lynx]

maybe I'll join, currently just spending time with my doggo

[sage cairn]

doggoooo

can i see the doggo? :3

in full

idk if it is the same

[sage cairn]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

name?

[wispy lynx]

Poncho

[sage cairn]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-struck-shot-gif-17441735

dying from cuteness

i love animals

[wispy lynx]

He was trying to eat my ice cream

As much as I'd love to share food with him, it had chocolate lol

we just need to genetically modify dogs so that they can eat what we eat

and then we share some mint chip ice cream

https://tenor.com/view/tibalgifzz-dog-prays-cute-dog-meal-time-dinner-gif-13648391

[thorny atlas]

yooo you guys playing bfv? I'm editing some of my clips now lol how many of you playing? @abstract walrus

[abstract walrus]

yes it's 3 of us

[wispy lynx]

I had some plans fall through so I'm here now

[thorny atlas]

niiice

gonna be hard if I join you now with my 200ping 😦

I'll join you in few minutes

[thorny atlas]

I don't remember you play in EU servers?

[wispy lynx]

I can do both

Tho I may not be able to join lol, apparently the weather is affecting the internet and our power

[thorny atlas]

I see! kinda same here but I'll manage I guess lol

@abstract walrus if you guys still in the next 30minutes or so I'll join you

[wispy lynx]

Man I just wanted to play BF with y'all

[thorny atlas]

same here lool

[dark swift]

[wispy lynx]

Gonna have to wait this out

[thorny atlas]

I'll join you later don't leave ok loool

yeah it's not that bad

you gotta kick someone for me to join the squad @abstract walrus

[thorny atlas]

@abstract walrus I'm coming back sorry this took longer

kicked for idle

@dark swift kick someone for me again please lol

sorry can't talk well lol I'll just play

yeah I chat in the game

[wispy lynx]

Internet is finally back up

Imma join if y'all are still going

nvm imma just play some HLL, y'all are in the middle of it

[dark swift]

We're sorry your stuff went down right as we started

We can try again next weekend though hopefully

[wispy lynx]

These things happen, it's whatever

[dark swift]

Either BF4 or BFV (Don't listen to Kyne saying 2042)

[wispy lynx]

Ye I only have BFV and BF1 installed

I don't play 2042 anymore

[dark swift]

I might try to get BF1 installed too but the space

[wispy lynx]

Would I need to buy dlc for BF4? I just got the base version for free

I also haven't really touched it at all

[dark swift]

If we play BF4 we can just play normal maps

[wispy lynx]

Nah I wouldn't want to restrict y'all, I can just do something else in that time

[dark swift]

Its no biggie really lol

But that is assuming we play it ofc

[wispy lynx]

[muted grotto]

It looks like 2042's new map is yet another remote location with the same construction assets. The class system doesn't excite me that much also.

[thorny atlas]

yoooo you guys left! sorry I got distracted

it was fun @abstract walrus we got some good kills

[thorny atlas]

you can get the full version "premium", sometimes it's ony 5$

@wispy lynx you wanna play?

[wispy lynx]

I'll pass for now, I'm already playing some HLL, so maybe next weekend. I was hoping to play with a full squad but my internet was cutting out on me and idk if it'll do it again

[thorny atlas]

roger that!

[abstract walrus]

I feel like saying Flashpoint is "another remote location with the same construction assets" is kinda just reductive for no reason

Flashpoint is a place that is actively under construction, yeah, but Exposure, Stranded, and Spearhead aren't?

[muted grotto]

All the sandbags, walls, containers, etc are prevalent across every map in the game, which make every map feel the same in a way despite their location.

[abstract walrus]

Don't really have a problem with that, of course defenses are going to look similar lol

[sage cairn]

Does anyone have opinions on Ready or Not? I might buy it, looks very tactical and I like it

[shell stream]

I'd say buy it if your friends are gonna buy it

I bought it but none of my friends did so i played by myself and got super bored

[sage cairn]

Ok then I'll not buy it xd

I have no one to play with

[sage cairn]

Aaaah it's so hard to find a game I like ...

Or worth

[uneven urchin]

Hunt

Show

Down

[fallow sequoia]

Have you checked out cult of the lamb?

[uneven urchin]

👏🏻

[sage cairn]

The game's too old

I need something new

Cult of the lamb is kinda brotato isn't it?

[fallow sequoia]

I just heard that it’s fun

[uneven urchin]

Its in active development though

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1046182972665102366/1069405262173196298/ezgif-4-674a0e9f3d.gif

Someone tried to fool me on rdo yesterday

But not on my watch

[celest delta]

Anyone playing Marvel Snap? Stuck on rank 51, need some deck inspo 😅

[shell stream]

Sorry only play rise of kingdoms

[fallow sequoia]

Destruction deck. Get apocalypse to 50+ power

Win

Gg

[celest delta]

I've been grinding that kinda deck for a while but as said feels capped out atm

[thorny atlas]

hunt showdown is a masterpiece! I love it

[uneven urchin]

Agreed

[sage cairn]

its like tarkov but with cowboys?

[uneven urchin]

Uh… its PvPvE yes, but not as longwinded as EFT and with zombies and bosses..

[thorny atlas]

yes like that! but more rewarding if you win/ kills ...

it's a bit similar but very different lol

[thorny atlas]

the mission is to collect clues for Bosses, creatures of some sort, then you kill it and take it to extract, they called bounties

while encountering other players for sure! PvP fights are insane.

I actually bought it because of Battlefield 2042 failure, and already put 500hours into it.

[dark swift]

Patiently waits for Stalker 2 while crying at the screenshots

[thorny atlas]

Hunt showdown is one of the original games I've played

[sage cairn]

i want stalker as well!!!

[thorny atlas]

the trailer looks amazing. is it a continuation of the first one? never played it

[dark swift]

It is tied to the story but can also be played without playing any of the previous ones

[thorny atlas]

gotcha

[thorny atlas]

fun games yesterday! I'm down for the next weekend

[dark swift]

Had fun too, we'll see how it goes

[uneven urchin]

She can’t be convinced haha

[thorny atlas]

I said it as someone who actually appreciate good games. I'm a hardcore battlefield fanboi, if you say to me what's the best horror game I'll say battlefield 4 lmao lool, Hunt is my second favorite now after BF4.
it's a very tough games but very satisfying when you win PvP fights, @sage cairn it's a great one lol

[uneven urchin]

I know you are haha

[thorny atlas]

if I'm someone who cries a lot I would be crying at bf2042 because it sucks lol

[uneven urchin]

Still?

[thorny atlas]

you mean still sucks?

you mean* sorry lmao not you

[fallow sequoia]

Jokes aside. I went with a buff deck which is really nice. Hela, bishop, khazar and blue marvel deck

Basically point is to just buff as much as you can with this deck

[abstract walrus]

2042 doesn't suck still unless you absolutely love vehicles, even then we'll see how that pans out with the class update tomorrow.

[thorny atlas]

I couldn't get into it! I tried it just doesn't feel like a bf to me

I'm sure many people enjoy it tho

[tropic plank]

Me and my Buddy LOVE ready or not. If you ever played Rainbow Six Vegas 2's t. hunts they are a lot like that on max difficulty but with civilians and actual rules of engagement thrown in. It's super difficult but if you like a challenge it's a hoot. Some of the levels have some really dark themes though.

Also is anyone else absolutely loving the Dead Space Remake? Holy smokes man what a great example of how to remake a game.

Was addicted all weekend couldn't put it down.

[sage cairn]

if i ever install the game, will you play with me?

[abstract walrus]

I have it but it's a bit too hard for my zoomer brain

[sage cairn]

nooo, pls join!

[tropic plank]

I'd be down for a couple rounds.

[sage cairn]

is it worth playing solo?

cuz prob i'll be spending most of my time just by myself

[tropic plank]

Very difficult, a single stray bullet can put you out of commission and you gotta move real slow on solo. I've tried a couple of Solo runs but I think I've only beat a solo run twice lol.

[abstract walrus]

There's a way to command your squad mates

[tropic plank]

Yeah the AI are best used as bullet sponges I have found lol. Post them up on doors you know ai are in have them breach it and you tag the guys who cross sight lines

[sage cairn]

wtf happened?

[muted grotto]

I'm currently on chapter 7 and Motive pretty much nailed it.

Combat is so much fun. The way necromorph limbs peel and dualsense feedback from the pulse rifle is soooo goood.

[abstract walrus]

They started banning people that hadn't played the game in a while.

[sage cairn]

is that even allowed!?

💀

[muted grotto]

People grind in MMOs for thousands of hours and get banned for....not playing for a little while?

[abstract walrus]

https://kotaku.com/lost-ark-bans-bots-steam-ban-amazon-valve-pc-1849993799

Looks like it was a bot ban that uh, accidently wiped out a quarter of the actual userbase because they weren't careful with the bans

[sage cairn]

ah hummm...

i would be... upset

i think that's not enough

i would...

i wouldnt

[tropic plank]

Dude the way the force gun peels them like a ripe banana is so disgustingly satisfying lol

[dawn elbow]

I was simply buying stuff from the marketplace the other day and got a message that my account history was being searched for "suspicious activity" 😭

Praying my account is safe 🙏

[abstract walrus]

That is... Beyond concerning... Amazon really needs to be a bit more careful about all of this.

[dawn elbow]

I honestly just generally have a suspicious account because I've spent all my time at the beginning regions trying to 100%. They're probably like "Why hasn't this account gotten to end-game??"

[abstract walrus]

I mean that's not really all that suspect, it's not what most of the playerbase would be doing but there's definitely a good number that would be doing that

[dawn elbow]

Maybe, my friends told me it's weird And I do sell a lot of my extra items from the beginning stages to the marketplace, but you're right I should be able to play how I want haha

[abstract walrus]

I played on new world long enough to get bombarded with eggs taking up the screen.

Then started playing on siege again when the chickens started taking up the screen.

Seems games have very avaian exploits nowadays

[uneven urchin]

Wait that’s a real thing?

[abstract walrus]

Unfortunately for a bit, yes

[tropic plank]

I do the same exact thing. I was having trouble leaving areas that weren't 100% but I only had the reputation things left that were daily locked lol.

[uneven urchin]

So people can put chickens on your screen?

[abstract walrus]

Yeah, for some reason Ubisoft didn't put any limit on what can be shown on the banwave notification area

[uneven urchin]

….

So…

[dawn elbow]

The rapport takes forEEEEVER

[abstract walrus]

They patched it out after the chicken made a debut at a esports match

[tropic plank]

Same exploit as New World yeah where you could inject image html's on to other people's machines.

[abstract walrus]

It was not limited to a chicken

You could show anything

[uneven urchin]

Embark people, make sure none of your games get freaky exploits like that

[tropic plank]

It KILLS me especially the ones like the king that take like 3 weeks of constant playing songs to. Like how are you not sick of hearing the same five chords for 20 days straight??? lol

[abstract walrus]

It is kinda funny

[dawn elbow]

I will serenade them as much as it takes

I just hate when it blocks you with "you don't have enough Charisma" :,c

[abstract walrus]

https://tenor.com/view/tlopo-emote-funny-the-legend-of-pirates-online-game-gif-20583856

[tropic plank]

Oh yeah it's the worst. Then I have to scour the rewards for who gives charisma potions lol

[abstract walrus]

I played Lost Ark up until I got into the desert then stopped playing lol

[fallow sequoia]

i played lost ark until i got a quest that i had to dance for a quest giver for 10 seconds

felt awkward

[abstract walrus]

Show off your dance moves Yasine

[dawn elbow]

Yeaa 😭 But I found out a couple weeks ago that cosmetics give you extra stats and the cheapest ones are like 1-2 gp each

[abstract walrus]

[tropic plank]

Oh for real? I shouldn't know that hahaha. Next time I'm flirting with an NPC for rapport and it tells me I need to be more charismatic I'm gonna be hawking the auction house.

[dawn elbow]

That must be at the very beginning because they ask you to do stuff like that a lot AHAH

[fallow sequoia]

.....yes it was

[dawn elbow]

Honestly I support this :^)

[abstract walrus]

I've finally started playing Potionomics

Ignore the fact that Wooper suggested it to me like, 3 months ago, and then I kinda forgot to ever play it.

[fallow sequoia]

jokes aside, I was an early supporter with the platinum pack. I didn't realise that there we paid subscriptions for this game and I knew immediately that they were gonna make it difficult for me in regards to progressing

[abstract walrus]

So the Dying Light team just announced they're redoing their Combat & Parkour system this year... which...

[shell stream]

Actual?

[abstract walrus]

Yeah

[shell stream]

I saw a announcement from them but i didn't read into it

[abstract walrus]

They're doing a livestream

[shell stream]

I wonder how they will redo it

I understand parkour but idk about combat

[wispy lynx]

they’ve got quite a bit to improve before i’m going back to DL2, i was pretty disappointed with how blurry and stuttery it was early on. the framerate really negatively impacted input delay and sometimes it would be an off frame where the game wouldn’t register my inputs at all

[abstract walrus]

@thorny atlas I was like "oh that's not that impressive", and then you scoped out

💀

[thorny atlas]

@wispy lynx @blissful lake lol we switch over here

[thorny atlas]

yeah that's 40x scope with variable zoom!

[abstract walrus]

I liked running around with the Martini Henry in BF1

[blissful lake]

redoing parkour, fr?

[thorny atlas]

oh that's a bad boy! very satisfying to use

[thorny atlas]

this one is one of my fav shots in bf4

[wispy lynx]

ever since i unlocked it i dont use any other rifle for scout even if it’s not practical

[thorny atlas]

same here loool

[blissful lake]

i dont think theres even anything wrong with it, apart from the floatiness and the fact u can survive a fall from max height by landing on a car lmao

[abstract walrus]

I mean, I don't see a problem with it

[blissful lake]

ive always wanted to hit one of those rpg shots u see on all the vids lol

[wispy lynx]

i had one like that with 2042, no scoping a heli with the rocket launcher

ive got the clip somewhere, lemme see if i can find it

[thorny atlas]

I haven't pulled a rendezook yet 😦 don't know how these guys do it

[thorny atlas]

that's coooooooool really good

[wispy lynx]

literally was trying all match just to say i did it

[thorny atlas]

worth it lol

[thorny atlas]

Martini hits like a bull

[blissful lake]

i hit these sometimes but they dont actually kill them lmao just damage

[thorny atlas]

I hate when I get a hitmark

[wispy lynx]

yeah i think it depends on the heli, idk i never played heli but i think some of em have different health

and theyve been getting buffs and the opposite a lot lol

[blissful lake]

i just dont go in aircrafts lol, feel like people expect me to kill every enemy craft, but im just not that good xD

[wispy lynx]

ye i just play infantry 99 percent of the time

and that goes for like all shooters lol

halo is like the only exception

[thorny atlas]

I like aircraft especially the chopper

[thorny atlas]

how is halo these days?

[wispy lynx]

it exists

[thorny atlas]

I mean the playerbase! any updates haven't played in while

lol reshade and nvidia combined makes bf4 look so gooood

[wispy lynx]

halo infinite aint worth touching tbh, and multiplayer on MCC is just so sweaty compared to when i used to play it a year or two ago

[thorny atlas]

I see I see! I meant infinite for sure

[wispy lynx]

[blissful lake]

That map was so fun to play, building collapses half way through the game

nothing like that in 2042 now, only some rocket event thats it afaik

[wispy lynx]

i miss mass destruction

[thorny atlas]

bro I cannot leave these games lol I play them it's so good

even bf3 is still active

[wispy lynx]

there are so many places that could be destroyed and it would make the gameplay amazing, and yet it’s just so underbaked

2042 is just 2019 CoD but reskinned

[blissful lake]

then theres those people on the building below that who snipe everyone lol, then get swarmed by people in the elevator

[wispy lynx]

[blissful lake]

like that ice oil rig map, rig could tip over and explode etc

[thorny atlas]

it sucks it's sad bro I really hate what happend to the franchise that's why I have high hope for The finals

[blissful lake]

what even happened to hourglass, it just disappeared

[thorny atlas]

oh yeah always a guy on top with C4

I post a lot of videos on my page, with all Battlefield games

[thorny atlas]

they took it? not available anymore?!

[wispy lynx]

yeah, they had and still have many opportunities and didnt take it

[blissful lake]

ive never even played on it before lol, never came up

[thorny atlas]

oh hahaha ok

[wispy lynx]

they got a number of defs from the golden era of BF, and the Alpha playtest despite the bugs and glitches was very fun, im very hopeful

but yeah i aint preordering another BF game, they lost my trust as fast as they gained it

[thorny atlas]

I'm happy about that bro!

[thorny atlas]

I bought 2042 and regret it lol

[blissful lake]

'cod killer' lmao

[wispy lynx]

ye i paid like 90 bucks for my preorder lol, i wanted to play it a week early and get a ton of hours out of it

[thorny atlas]

even tho I play the previous titles but Battlefield is dead, Long live battlefield. I'm looking for a replacement, but I'll continue play bf4 until there is no one playing it lol, right now so many people still play which is good.

[wispy lynx]

BF1 is still by far my favorite

the atmosphere and immersion is amazing

[thorny atlas]

it's amazing let me send a rainy mud horror lol

[wispy lynx]

while they didnt have levolution, their behemoths were such a great addition

which is what i disliked about V and 2042, there’s not really anything cool like that

no levolution or behemoth stuff

[thorny atlas]

yeah that's true! behemoths as new form of levolution is good!

[abstract walrus]

I feel like the option to build cover is by far a more impactful and meaningful system than behemoths ever were

[thorny atlas]

it's just straight up horror

[thorny atlas]

fortification is decent lol but I hate it can be destroyed easily

[wispy lynx]

building cover is nice, but to me what made battlefield unique was the big and crazy events

[thorny atlas]

but absolutely genious addition

[wispy lynx]

fortification is a most welcome mechanic, but it shouldn’t be a replacement

[thorny atlas]

yeah always love to see big stuff collapse and destroy and take whatever is under it lol

[wispy lynx]

in the next bf i’d love to see all three, absolute chaos in every way imaginable

tho at least for modern settings of bf games, behemoths would be a bit less practical

[blissful lake]

an ac130 would kind of work, just not the scale of the behemoth

[wispy lynx]

they also need to be careful their their pacing, the last two bf games felt a bit faster in terms of combat and ttk, and if they keep on doing things to make movement quicker, it can alienate previous fans that are there for social and not competitive gaming

halo also lost sight of social gaming with the introduction of 343

[blissful lake]

bfv felt really quick to what i was used to

[thorny atlas]

that's what I meant! battlefield is tactical not fast paced and arcady, but it's shifting to that unfortunately

[thorny atlas]

yeah

I want to be able to run full naked in the mud in bf1 lol

[blissful lake]

2042 feels really arcady atm

[wispy lynx]

the ttk is too fast imo, i got used to it but it just felt more like TDM rather than conquest

[thorny atlas]

one of the reason I don't play it! If I want arcady I go play cod

[blissful lake]

i dont even think details like than exist in 2042, mud doesnt even go on your clothes, gun etc

[blissful lake]

yeah, felt like i was just running hunting for kills more than objective

[thorny atlas]

unfortunately! also not accurate to the lore! it should be cities destroyed and everything...

[wispy lynx]

yeah it’s a shell of what bf used to be. i give props to the team for fixing the game, but i just think they should just drop it and focus on the next game

[abstract walrus]

It does, at least on the clothes.

[thorny atlas]

here is to hoping for a better destruction focus battlefield. or better yet here is to the Finals 💪

[thorny atlas]

you don't have any mouse input issues? like input lag...

[abstract walrus]

No

[blissful lake]

i havent even realised, just been stuck on a rotation of kaleidoscope and manifest

[wispy lynx]

i didnt have input issues, but hit registers and major lag spikes are still an issue for me

[thorny atlas]

when the last season dropped I gave it a try and it was horrible, there is some weird input lag I don't know where it comes from! I tried all the common gaming fixes to improve it but nothing fixed, it was annoying. but at least I had a look at the georgous Caspian Border I guess lol

[wispy lynx]

and the game just doesn’t look as good as previous games

[abstract walrus]

Mouse Polling

If you have it set to high it causes the game to have input lag
