Well damn.

They cancelled Hyenas lmao

[versed cradle]

[grand ember]

Not surprised

[limpid plinth]

It does suck tho. Feel bad for the devs who spend their time on this.

[void smelt]

Seems like lots of folks enjoyed it, and wasn't it just a beta anyways? Shame

[versed cradle]

it got a lot of negative critique too from what i saw so dunno

[limpid plinth]

Yeah it was like a 2 week beta I think.

I guess it didn't have the reception that Sega wanted.

[uneven urchin]

It was totally getting Battleborn’d

It would lose against any title coming out around the same time

[limpid plinth]

Battleborn was meant to fail. Like it didn't look good at all and people were wanting a new BL at the time.

[tranquil mist]

What the ffffffuck?

[uneven urchin]

I liked it but it just didn’t catch on

And ow was better

[tranquil mist]

Wow... I was looking forward to its full release but.... fuck... God this sucks.

this server is gonna have a field day with HYENAS' cancelation

[tranquil mist]

That would be Creative Assembly

WELP. GUESS WHAT. SEGA HAS SPARRED YOU

So... Hyenas' cancelation was the result of a restructure of its European bases.

...I... guess that makes sense?

[hearty spire]

should've ended sooner

[uneven urchin]

I don’t think they will, generally the active users here have the upmost respect for developers’ work and effort

Except for lettuce but we ignore him

[tranquil mist]

Guess CA's gonna return to Total War 3 then now that Hyenas' is dead.

[hearty spire]

:)

[lean hazel]

Hyenas could have actually gotten a lot better by adjusting a few things

cancelling it is weird

[limpid plinth]

It be like that when the big suits come a knocking.

[lean hazel]

that’s every company now

[limpid plinth]

Gremlin

[lean hazel]

no gamers only suits

[hearty spire]

real

[limpid plinth]

Ye gotta get their piece of the pie somehow

[lean hazel]

activision suffered the most from this shit

[limpid plinth]

Ruins a lot of studios.

EA*

[lean hazel]

Dice******

[hearty spire]

EA*************

[tranquil mist]

Unless a different developers comes and saves the game (which I doubt will ever happen), I guess that's it then.

[lean hazel]

nah it’s gone

the suits have decided

[limpid plinth]

https://tenor.com/view/gone-reduced-to-atoms-thanos-gif-22903506

[tranquil mist]

Yep

Welp... guess its time to let it go

when will new The Finals news surface?

[lean hazel]

well we should definitely be hearing some news before the end of the year so

[tranquil mist]

Which games similar to the Finals that are available can I check out in the meantime?

[lone stone]

"i guess thats it then"

https://tenor.com/view/pen-in-flames-umineko-writing-in-flames-flames-gif-20892510

wow even gifs dont work for yellow roles

[tranquil mist]

https://tenor.com/view/epic-embed-fail-ryan-gosling-cereal-embed-failure-laugh-at-this-user-gif-20627924

Shit yea it doesn't work

[hearty spire]

only works in some channels haha

[tranquil mist]

...oh

You know, I should see about giving CS2 a shot

Introducing myself to another Valve series in a way I guess? xD

[versed cradle]

note to self: do not ask for a drop

[ancient inlet]

holy, hammer actually looks good

[ancient inlet]

whahahhaha

[grand ember]

Yeah 😍

[lean hazel]

the coolest comeback line

[ancient inlet]

had to use hammer++ before cuz of how bad the normal tools were to do specific stuff xD

gotta give the new hammer a shot

considering evewrything got removed, what about vacbans? 🤔

[versed cradle]

vac ban is seperate

if u cheat in another game that supports vac, ure still vac banned in cs

or at least account wise u are

[ancient inlet]

😭

just tried to trade my stuff from a banned account lol

i like the store feature though

the cs coin looks like minimal effort tbh

[lean hazel]

bro got flabbergasted

[ancient inlet]

ohne my love ❤️

[lean hazel]

ohne my silver 2 ❤️

[ancient inlet]

where do i find Workshop maps though?

wait does that mean i lost the maps i made????

doesnt seem like it but do you know where i can find them ingame?

[versed cradle]

his face LMAOOOO

[granite vine]

bros gonna have the most expensive silver lobby load out there is

[versed cradle]

we all prob gonna be hit with hard reset

[ancient inlet]

even the crosshair man

😦

[versed cradle]

my xhair stayed

[ancient inlet]

think mine did too but iot looks wayy to different

[sacred oriole]

they should add ranking and a battlepass system to this i think it'd really help the game take off

[ancient inlet]

it runs suprisingly smooth though

[versed cradle]

u know u just replied to something relating to counter strike right

huh

2 deaths on round 1

[ancient inlet]

Lmao

oh, he mightve disconnected and died because of that, respawned ingame and died again

🤔

[versed cradle]

insane

[ancient inlet]

yup

[limpid plinth]

skilled but in the wrong area

[grand ember]

cs2 is making my monitor make noise 💀

wtf

[versed cradle]

uff wtf

[lean hazel]

NOOOOOOOOO THE TSHKN FALLS NOW

[versed cradle]

correct

death to chicken.

[grand ember]

is there a command to have unlimited fps? or is it stuck to ur monitor?

[hearty spire]

chicken 😋

[crimson jasper]

me in the first 5 minutes of playing Skyrim, only to be attacked by entire Whiterun a second later

[lean hazel]

unlimited fps is bad actually

[versed cradle]

zelda taught me to never harm chickens

[grand ember]

i have my fps set to 165 but im getting 300+

[versed cradle]

cs is my only exception

[crimson jasper]

genshin taught me that everything there is in the game must be harmed for loot

[versed cradle]

if i see a chicken in cs i have to knife it

[versed cradle]

the problem there are the words "genshin taught me"

[lean hazel]

but Ekko we were dissing genshin a week ago…

[abstract walrus]

I killed a chicken in Solstheim and forgot I had the game modded. I watched as the dark elf wizard there summoned horrors beyond comprehension and erased me from existence.

[crimson jasper]

the way I screamed at this

[crimson jasper]

genshin has incorrectly informed me 😄

[versed cradle]

[storm lynx]

AHAHHAAAAAAHHAAA

[abstract walrus]

Have you guys seen the new discord update

(I know you have Ekko)

[versed cradle]

oh the icon things lol

garbo, what is the point

[fallow sequoia]

This is BULLSHIT

[versed cradle]

or wait, is this for your pfp?

or just discord app icon

[fallow sequoia]

The limited time ones were FREE WITH NITRO

Why are they CHARGING SEPARATELY

[abstract walrus]

It's avatar decorations

[versed cradle]

[abstract walrus]

This fog one I'm using came free

[versed cradle]

dont get me started on discord rant bro

[fallow sequoia]

Another global emote scenario istg

[abstract walrus]

I will buy every anime one just to be annoying

[versed cradle]

u are a diff breed

[fallow sequoia]

That's very normal kyne behaviour. He has a tendency to buy shit products

[valid spoke]

Hyenas got canceled ):

lmao

[fallow sequoia]

LMAO OZZI

[lean hazel]

sorry

[crimson jasper]

that must've been a misunderstanding, I meant that Genshin is, from my memory, very difficult to play on any mobile device 😅 although I heard it's been getting much better lately

[fallow sequoia]

bro is trying to make me burst out laughing on the train

[limpid plinth]

u having a giggle

[abstract walrus]

don't make me point to the sign

[fallow sequoia]

Yes Jim jam

[limpid plinth]

This ^^^^ Don't celebrate a game failing cause in the end people do end up hurting for it.

Also @abstract walrus might want to zoom that a little because I could barely read it

had to get my glasses closer

[sacred oriole]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[atomic cedar]

OOOOOOOOF

I did not enjoy this game at all. Had issues running alpha. No one would help me. Finally get to play beta. Did not like it.

[sacred oriole]

The game does not run on an intel Arc Series A550 graphics card

[hearty spire]

well, now the game will not run on anything

[sacred oriole]

lol

https://tenor.com/view/austin-powers-oh-behave-gif-20203955

embed fail T-T

[void smelt]

Embeds for rising star are only in TF chat and media

[balmy imp]

Anyone else pre-loaded their Xdefiant?

I didnt get to the closed playtest they had but the open one is starting in a few hours

[grand ember]

i cant even find Xdefiant ubi launcher

[balmy imp]

you have to go to the website

and register

its Ubisoft so its expected to be confusing and not user friendly :insert_kekw:

[grand ember]

its says im already registered

[fallow sequoia]

Eoin you are the unluckiest guy I've seen when it comes to betas

First cs2 and now this

[limpid plinth]

Ubi said it should be open and in the launcher already

no sign up req

[grand ember]

when it comes to alphas/betas for games i want to play i never get in 😆

[limpid plinth]

I am on the opposite end I get into about everything lmao

[grand ember]

i had Xdefiant downloaded before

[balmy imp]

I got an email, i went to the link and signed up
was told its now in my launcher

[limpid plinth]

well ya email lied

but regardless as long as people get to play.

but it's ubi too

[plucky marten]

dang, Hyenas got cancelled

[ancient inlet]

anyone play hoi4 who can show me how to get the Northern Light achievement as norway?

tried to follow youtube tutorials but they didnt work

[storm lynx]

MY first game of Squad in months...
I'd say it's going pretty well 😂 👍

[gusty cairn]

Why do I get the sneaking feeling phantom liberty is going to be just as soul crushing as the rest of the cyberpunk ip's

[abstract walrus]

[storm lynx]

don't do this to me man

[lean hazel]

It took me like 4 months to recover from edgerunners

[ancient inlet]

did some drifting, think thats the best clip i got, forgot to record some better ones

@twilit sapphire

holy, its laggy

also it was mid drift

nvm it was my monitor that made it lag

[gusty cairn]

I'm still not over it. And it doesnt help that the skill tree now has rebecca, david, and lucy as icons for various skills

[twilit sapphire]

Smooth fps tho

Good job!

[ancient inlet]

@twilit sapphire this drift i just did, im proud of it, whatchu think?

[ancient inlet]

thanks 😄

and sorry for tagging you alot

[twilit sapphire]

I have a lot of tips for you man

Even tho I'm a FPS shooting gamer, I've experienced drifting games too ;>

• You kind of want to keep like an angle to be static than swinging your car left and right when drifting, it will make you be able to control your car and have more control over the speed

• Like speed, the faster you go in drifting, you will have a higher chance to keep control depending on the circuit's lines, like in a few spots in your video after 1:00 it's where you started to lose control and lost the streaks. If you have a good angle and you're too fast for the switching angle, don't try to turn into a higher angle to slow down... It will then make you lose your control over the next drift turn which you'll need to then stop and reset your speed and drift angle as also loosing your score streak

Mostly try controlling the throttle and the break for most of the time, you will see big improvements

• Then handbrakes, as I saw on 1:40 you used the handbrake which sent your car to oversteer and drift which concluded to make you lose momentum for the next drift, but you tried to get it back by going forward to where the car was heading by switching side which you were sent to hit the wall. In my personal experience, the most time you would use the handbrake is when a necessary speed change to fast to slow for a tight angle to be able to not hit snything is best for handbrake. The best way to drift is to mostly use the normal break, because of using the handbrake (Which is way stronger) will def will send you to the dust

• When switching side, don't try to just press the throttle the whole time, if you saw a few angles you were, you kind of went to wide and then got close to the inner side because you had to tirn into a higher angle and made you LOSE momentum again, I wouldn't really suggest to always use the throttle to switch unless it's needed (It depends on how wide the angle and speed needs to be for the next turn) Or unless you will start loosing control over your car like how it started from 1:00

—
Those are my tips that you should improve on to gain a much higher score and being smoother! ^^
@ancient inlet

[ancient inlet]

dont think i used the handbrake button 🤔

[ancient inlet]

i'll give it a shot after im done with something

[twilit sapphire]

You did, when you were at the top

It made you oversteer to a drift

If you see all drift games with handbreaks, you see that the car turns way faster when using handbrake than the normal brake

https://tenor.com/view/wrc-rally-drift-gif-7615150

Like this GIF which is not allowed to load here lol

In rally you use the handbrake to reach a higher angle for tight turns

Because the handbrake is the better brake to make the turn rotate to a higher angle

[ancient inlet]

ah :/

[twilit sapphire]

Yea, it's called physics ✨ man

Don't blame me

[limpid plinth]

traffic b crazy

[undone tide]

I just saw they canceled Hyenas

[limpid plinth]

rip

[dreamy agate]

I was looking forward too that game

😔

[bitter barn]

Kinda crazy that a game that advanced in the development pipeline just got cancelled like that

I didn't really like the gameplay style but it's nothing they couldn't adjust

[abstract walrus]

Without getting too much into it. CA is kinda trending water at the moment.

[dreamy agate]

According to sega business in Europe wasn’t making enough money. So they downsized business there to cut costs

Hyenas got caught in the crossfire

[storm lynx]

bro doesn't has dash, lame

[abstract walrus]

Total War is having a PR meltdown as they've repeatedly mismanaged their last two games. Their new historical title is probably going to tread water at best and just fail at worst. Warhammer 3 has had long standing bugs not been patched for a year, overpriced DLCs, and just in general feeling rushed and buggy. Three KIngdoms got support cut from it when it's DLCs weren't selling well enough and it was the best selling historical title by far.

Now you have HYNEAS, a game that's been in development since 2018 and rebooted at least twice. No positive feedback from multiple tests, and next to no public interest in it.

[storm lynx]

TW fans got caught in the crossfire the most
not only did they need to pay more for the games now but also go absolutely nothing in return

[tranquil mist]

What was their previous game that had no issues with this stuff?

[abstract walrus]

Let me take a look

Uh, maybe Warhammer 2

[limpid plinth]

bro lame judging my gameplay

[abstract walrus]

Before that... Alien Isolation? which was in 2014

[dreamy agate]

I mean it did get positive feedback

The fans were mostly in the hyenas discord

[storm lynx]

cyberpunk without the dash is way more boring tho

[abstract walrus]

The gameplay trailer for the closed beta

Had like 5k views

[limpid plinth]

I'll prolly invest in dash if I do melee.

[tranquil mist]

Apparently not enough

[limpid plinth]

to you lmao

I hated dash

[dreamy agate]

I’m just saying like there were people who liked it

[storm lynx]

fair

[limpid plinth]

especially when the game came out and it was bind to the movement keys

[storm lynx]

the dash that is in the game now is completely different than before tho

[undone tide]

Kinda was too, even though I wasn't hearing the best things about it.

[storm lynx]

way more responsive and overall better

[tranquil mist]

Which came out in... 2017.

6 years ago...

[abstract walrus]

Of their last 15 games 6 of them have had critical issues

[limpid plinth]

I don't really need it tho now. Mainly cause I'm just going guns and netrunning

[undone tide]

Yeah, definitely unexpected. Thought they would just push it out like most game companies to see if it would sink or swim

[storm lynx]

dash can be useful during guns blazing too tbh, there are even perks for it lol

[tranquil mist]

Christ...

I feel like CA's standing on a line where they have to make a comeback or they're gonna get shutdown.

oh yea, this is coming out:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_War:_Pharaoh

[storm lynx]

First Volition and now CA?
lol

[tranquil mist]

Guess we'll see how this fares

[dreamy agate]

Not going to lie I’m kinda on hopium right now hoping this game can replace hyenas for me https://store.steampowered.com/app/1808500/ARC_Raiders/

[tranquil mist]

And it's being worked on by Embark Studios, the people making The Finals

[undone tide]

Hope so to. People have been kind of negative in YT comments about extraction shooters. But a lot of people have never played them and think they run like a BR.

[balmy imp]

My review of Xdefiant from single match: it feels generic but i think thats good because it also feels like CoD but casual and actually fun

Gunplay is somehow good even tho its fast TTK

(said by a guy 1st on the current match leaderboard but still)

[whole ermine]

dash is the most fun perk in the game

[abstract walrus]

My game has a random child just sitting here

Help

[tranquil mist]

what the fuck kind of muzzle is this???

[abstract walrus]

A supressor

[lean hazel]

thats the average shotty suppressor

[plucky marten]

yeah lol this game is being developed by The Finals devs too and the lore might even turn out to be connected. I can’t wait

[balmy imp]

nobody plays the objective in this objective centered game

if you frag 27 people and dont capture a single point go back to playing fortnite

[plucky marten]

i hate how extraction shooters are being jumbled into one idea by the gaming community at the moment. the second any game says it’s an extraction shooter it gets pounced on for no reason. Extraction shooters are very different from each other, unlike something like a BR which is very restricted to the core BR concepts. core extraction shooter concepts are very forgiving and gameplay loops of extraction shooters can wildly differ

[plucky marten]

yeah currently i’m seeing a lot of bad reviews and stuff of the xdefiant beta

[balmy imp]

Yeah, definitely better and wider than BR

[plucky marten]

like, hyenas and EFT are both called extraction shooters but their gameplay loops could not be more different even though certain mechanics are similar. like WTF gaming community

[hearty spire]

hyenas 💀

[undone tide]

Same here! I think extraction shooters have the potential to be more successful. And for casuals being able to define a win for you and your team rather than having a giant circle force arbitrary fights, is better.

The industry still seems like they are trying to figure out what an extraction shooter is. For a brief moment at the very beginning people were saying that The Finals is an extraction shooter.

[plucky marten]

(yes i’m indirectly defending arc raiders)

(embark op)

[hearty spire]

embark op

[undone tide]

Extraction shooters give meaning and power to finding good loot. And gives even more incentive to engage in fights to get loot off of people, for your next games.

[undone tide]

Definitely agree with that.

[plucky marten]

it’s because of the stupid “trend chasing” argument going around atm, as if trend chasing hasn’t been happening in gaming since its existence let alone all of entertainment and the free market

[grand ember]

my internet is so shitttttttttttttt

an hour+ to download 32 gb

[undone tide]

True tbh. I had to endure battle royals for several years and I hate the genre. I never thought extraction shooter would be my thing until I played Hunt Showdown. ironically it's a sub genre in the BR department but I feel like it gives way more purpose to being good at the game, and in so many different ways.

I had to wait out the BR hype, for Extraction shooters to come through. Now is the time!

Really hoping Arc Raiders and Marathon can bring in enough people to explain how different an extraction shooter is from a BR.

I don't think people realize Extraction shooters are a good medium between survival game, rogue lites and BRs

[plucky marten]

yeah

and maybe people are doing them now because they realize that they are really fun and engaging rather than because they only care about raking in cash and trendchasing

but that’s just classic internet always being cynical

[balmy imp]

Yeah i dont see any issues with extraction shooters, im eggscited for Embarks take on it with Arc

[plucky marten]

the other thing is that i don’t even think the hyenas team even calls themselves an extraction shooter. gamers just labeled it that.

this was in an interview with one of the hyenas people a while ago

and if you aren’t cynical about everything then you’re a shill

[undone tide]

Damn didn't even know that the gaming community gave them that handle.. :/

[undone tide]

Seems like they've got a good lore going for it, and really like the environment they're using

[rugged aurora]

Cities: Skylines 2 on console just got delayed til next year and I’m hoping The Finals is still on track for this year 😭

[bitter barn]

Xdefiant feels much more polished than the closed beta, it was actually fun this time

[undone tide]

Is it coming to both last gen and current gen?

[undone tide]

That's good to hear. I know some of the criticisms was that it felt generic

[stuck sluice]

another reason why pc better

[bitter barn]

I mean, a bit? but it's still COD-like fun

without downloading 300GB and awful menus + monetization

[undone tide]

I'm down for that

I miss old run and gun arcade like COD

[bitter barn]

But not to sound like copying other people but being honest, nothing quite feels like

[undone tide]

The small amount of time I got to play it, it's definitely different.

Been playing Battlefield V for practice 🥲

Closes thing to it.

[limpid plinth]

hate when people don't play obj.

like having fraggers is good but if you ain't getting kills then focus the obj

[plucky marten]

agreed

people say it just combines every popular fps into one but i disagree i think it’s its own new thing

nothing has ever intentionally used destruction like this game does in its game mode

[willow river]

its teardown + TF2 and TF2

[zealous hawk]

as yes TF2 and TF2
man that never stops being confusing lol

[willow river]

well, I'm right

just in my own confusing way, as usual

[plucky marten]

so TD+TF2+TF2=TF

[willow river]

yeah

T+T+T=T

[plucky marten]

the 2’s cancel

[prisma perch]

Just played some of xdefient it was ok imo, felt kinda generic to me, just felt like usual cod gameplay with added Ubisoft quirk on top, gunplay was pretty good I have no complaints really on that, movement was standard nothing bad really, I just think it’s a game you might need to play with friends to not get bored really, to anyone who likes the game tho hope your having a fun time

[plucky marten]

is this beta allowing more players in than last time or something? because i’m hearing that the game feels way worse now than it did in the first tests

[prisma perch]

Never played the other beta just got into the public one so I can’t really say

[plucky marten]

the xdefiant subreddit doesn’t seem to like it

i mean better for the finals i guess lol

[bitter barn]

I definitely like this Beta more, feels more fluid to me

[undone tide]

The only other game I can think that has, is Bad Company gold rush, and Red Faction Guerilla

[prisma perch]

Ong I think The Finals has spoiled me bro, every other game feels less than The finals (not saying they are) but I don’t get enjoyment like I do with The Finals, hope it comes real

[plucky marten]

even then, they didn’t have the physics based objectives like The Finals does

[prisma perch]

True true

[storm lynx]

Jesus Christ

[gusty cairn]

hot

[gusty cairn]

feck. youtube is already recommending me phantom liberty spoilers

[undone tide]

Definitely not. I can't even remember the modes that Red Faction Guerilla had.

[balmy imp]

Xdefiant is pretty nice, but the maps are garbage

[willow river]

Holy SHIT the difficulty spike from the base game is so steep it might as well be a 90 degree angle

[void smelt]

I made Astarion into a bird last night. That's it

[limpid plinth]

Lmao

[versed cradle]

hi id like to make a report

[uneven urchin]

This game looks like a mess.. as cool as that car looks..

[limpid plinth]

It is. The remaster is straight up a downgrade from the OG.

I was just laughing at the conversation me and my friend were having cause it'd be so disrespectful if someone just jumped through the windshield 😭

[hearty spire]

Saints row 3 my beloved

[limpid plinth]

It's good coming back to it.

I didn't really enjoy it on release.

[hearty spire]

Silly game series

[lilac prism]

It finally has an effect to better see when you get a kill?!

I might play the game now.

[lilac prism]

You hit that car so hard it just swapped directions

[limpid plinth]

Bro said "aight guess I go this way now"

[lilac prism]

He was befuddled

It was the brain damage from the impact

[limpid plinth]

And traumatized

[storm lynx]

kotor remake is cancelled...
trailer have been made private, tweets about it deleted...

why can't we just have nice things in this world

[limpid plinth]

I h8 it here

[willow river]

Money, usually : (

[fallow sequoia]

God I hate Disney for ruining star wars

[limpid plinth]

dis ^

Star Wars is just so bland now.

[tranquil mist]

Until we get an official statement, I don't think we should fully call it yet.

But, it is possible that it got scrapped-

But may I remind you all, that was being handled by a studio under Embracer, which is going through some shit rn

[fallow sequoia]

Didn't they change developer?

No wait mb discard what I said

[tranquil mist]

I was gonna say

Aspyr and Saber. Both under Embracer

[fallow sequoia]

Embracer group is the umbrella company

Yee

[tranquil mist]

And knowing recent shit with the company going on (volition being shuttered, layoffs, etc.), I wouldn't be surprised if that contributed to the KOTOR remake being scrapped.

[fallow sequoia]

I just want old republic era content 😭

Give me SOMETHING MAN

[tranquil mist]

Welp...

Guess we're gonna have to wait even more for something to surface

And we don't even know if it'll ever happen or not

[fallow sequoia]

Or never get something at all since Disney just wants to rehash the same stories over and over with the same characters making cameos for the 50th time

[tranquil mist]

............yea its gonna be awhile.

We may have to force ourselves to just do it with our own hands.

As much as I hate to admit it

[fallow sequoia]

Fan fiction ain't it my friend

[tranquil mist]

Well... what other choice do we have?

[fallow sequoia]

We move on by leaving the franchise in the dust

[tranquil mist]

That was not a response I wa-

Oh why do I care OF COURSE THAT WOULD BE A RESPONSE

[fallow sequoia]

It's me moving on basically

Just like how I left battlefield 2 years ago

After being a fan since bf 1942

[tranquil mist]

...oh

[fallow sequoia]

It's just how things work. If the direction has gone a way you don't like, you divert your attention elsewhere

Slowly happening for me in regards to star wars

[shrewd onyx]

I like some of it

ashoka has been decent

[fallow sequoia]

Yeah ahsoka and mandalorian are good but the rest is garbage imo

[shrewd onyx]

andor was good

[limpid plinth]

I liked Mando s1 but haven't seen the rest. Ahsoka didn't look interesting to me so I skipped it.

[shrewd onyx]

tbf most of the stuff isn't horrible, just SW fans like to complain

[fallow sequoia]

I’m complaining, doesn’t mean I like to

[limpid plinth]

Idk the new trilogy was pretty awful.

[fallow sequoia]

The sequel trilogy was literally a “we have episode 4,5 and 6 at home” type

[limpid plinth]

The Force Awakens was refreshing and then they basically made the same trilogy with different characters.

[fallow sequoia]

Exactly

[limpid plinth]

And worse

Gnome coming in with a ted talk jkjk ily Gnome

[fallow sequoia]

The skywalker saga at home

[storm lynx]

the biggest mistake Gorge Lucas made was selling SW to Disney, he could've ended the series here and there and open up rest of the story to interpretations or easily stick to his work and make more movies.
Alhough, now to think of it, Disney gave us some really amazing stuff to experience like Mandalorian, Ahsoka, many iconic games, SW Rebels and SW Clone wars...

[limpid plinth]

Clone wars was 🤌🏽

Idc I loved the CIS and bots

[fallow sequoia]

Which iconic games? Can only think of one

[limpid plinth]

I can't think of any

[fallow sequoia]

The Jedi series is literally the only one of two since Disney took over. The other one is the battlefront remakes

[limpid plinth]

Not any recent ones but I also haven't played the Jedi survivor series.

[storm lynx]

The old original Battlefront games, Jedi Knight games, KOTOR, The Old Republic

[shrewd onyx]

bf2 got decent towards the end

[fallow sequoia]

You’re listing games that were not under Disney executive control

[shrewd onyx]

both the jedi games were good

[limpid plinth]

BF 1&2 were both mistakes and I hate that OG BF3 was 100% playable. They just closed the studio at the end.

[shrewd onyx]

with a third now in production

[limpid plinth]

So it never released

[fallow sequoia]

Since Disney took over, they gave the Star Wars game licence to EA after killing Lucas games. So far we only got battlefront 1 and 2 remake, Jedi fallen order and Jedi survivor

[limpid plinth]

IT WAS GONNA HAVE PLANET TO SPACE BATTLES TOO I H8 it here

[fallow sequoia]

Now EA doesn’t own the game licence anymore so Ubisoft are making an open world Star Wars game

[limpid plinth]

I'm sure that would've been a mess bit it would've been so cool to see.

[shrewd onyx]

I am looking forward to that one

[fallow sequoia]

I am not honestly. I could see the Ubisoft jank all over it

[limpid plinth]

It's UBI don't be too excited.

[shrewd onyx]

it's by the division team, who make decent enough games

but yeah, cautious optimism

[fallow sequoia]

I don’t trust that team anymore after what they did to the division 2

[limpid plinth]

It's also by the same people who broke their game in midst of it's resurgence

[shrewd onyx]

tru, but we'll see

[limpid plinth]

Like how do you fuck it up that bad

[shrewd onyx]

season 2 of andor comes out next week

[shrewd onyx]

money

[fallow sequoia]

But yeah @storm lynx all the games you listed are amazing ones. It’s a shame we won’t get the same feelings again now that Disney is managing

[shrewd onyx]

I like the new BF1

[limpid plinth]

No they broke the updater and that broke the game

Like I know it was good while that people couldn't play.

[fallow sequoia]

I enjoyed battlefront 2 remake. Just a shame that they ended support in favor of battlefield 2042

[shrewd onyx]

yeah

tho I liked bf1's more variety with blasters

[fallow sequoia]

Its story was also refreshing

[shrewd onyx]

it was alright

kinda wish the empire special forces didn't have "are we the baddies" moment, when they've probably seen a lot worse

[fallow sequoia]

Yeah that was kinda cliche ngl

It was more the dynamic of the squad I liked

[shrewd onyx]

true

honestly I love when sw explores micro cultures and stuff within the universe

[limpid plinth]

They should explore less of rebels and more of the empire tbh. Like inside type sketch going on.

[fallow sequoia]

I would like them to explore THE MYTHOS OF THE FORCE PLEASE

WE HAVENT SEEN ANYTHING SINCE THE CLONE WARS CARTOON

[shrewd onyx]

like andor was probably one of my favourite pieces of media of all time

[limpid plinth]

Or explore some of the darker horror aspects of star wars

[fallow sequoia]

YEA PLEASE

[limpid plinth]

I would love that.

[shrewd onyx]

eh, people talk about it but I just feel it would become just a mindless gorefest with sw on top

[fallow sequoia]

I hate Disney for scrapping the deleted scene from clone wars where darth revan was a ghost that spoke to a character

[limpid plinth]

I just hate Disney. Lmao

[fallow sequoia]

The dark side of the force wouldn’t just be gore though

[limpid plinth]

^

[shrewd onyx]

I liked visions

[fallow sequoia]

There’s so much to explore but Disney be like “let’s have || Anakin fight obi wan again || “ in the Kenobi series

[limpid plinth]

There are stuff like the Blackwing virus that could be done gory but thats about it.

[shrewd onyx]

true, but I think Andor is the right amount of gritty

no blood no gore, just death quickly and almost randomly

[limpid plinth]

Yeah basically just reusing old characters and references and basically saying "isn't this nostalgic and cool? Buy this plushy or figure"

[fallow sequoia]

[limpid plinth]

[fallow sequoia]

George Lucas made a mistake

[limpid plinth]

Money is money.

[abstract walrus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAdVP_4OCkA

Dark Creations is such a odd name for a season

[mild sequoia]

the last ever season

[fallow sequoia]

Finally

New game pls, and it better not be crap

[storm lynx]

spoiler - it will be

[abstract walrus]

I have zero hopes for the next game

Unless they give up live service it's never going to be good.

[storm lynx]

you expect people who never understood Vaas' definition of insanity to give up something they've used sincle like BFV?

[abstract walrus]

Nope

[storm lynx]

they will just keep doing the same thing over and over again until in eventually works or kills the entire franchise

[fallow sequoia]

Bfv was live service?

[storm lynx]

apparently

[fallow sequoia]

I can’t see it tbh

[abstract walrus]

I'm just not buying it since DICE has cut off support for 2 of their games, both live services.

If Season 6 is the last one then they've killed off 3 live service games in a row just to make another premium live service game they'll cut support to in a year to ship another game.

[storm lynx]

I just want premium to be back and have guaranteed content instead of living in the hopes of getting literally anything new

this system worked

[abstract walrus]

That system didn't work either lol

Creates too many divisions in the playerbase

[fallow sequoia]

Yeah it was a clusterfuck in regards to servers

[abstract walrus]

I cannot play half of the maps released for BF4/1 since most servers just run the vanilla servers.

[storm lynx]

then idk, release a game instead of a foundation for a game

[abstract walrus]

At least with BFV/2042 I can play on every map released

[shrewd onyx]

I like BF games at their core, usually I'll get them for cheap

[fallow sequoia]

There’s no way you can play the close quarters maps in bf3 anymore

Also the premium priority queue was literally bullshit imo

[shrewd onyx]

I'm surprised they haven't tried a cold war game

[fallow sequoia]

That would be sick

[storm lynx]

I still cannot believe that EA missed a perfect opportunity during Fortnite's golden days to revive Battlefield Heroes
That could sell really well especially in between 2018-2021

I'm not saying "make a BF battle royale game", i'm saying that this style of gameplay would bring some more casual audience
a TPS shooter with special abilities for each class minus P2W bs known from the original

I am really interested to see what they are cooking this time with the new game

[shrewd onyx]

didn't they try a BR with BFV

[storm lynx]

yeah and it didnt work because they had zero idea what made br games fun

[lean hazel]

it was canceled too quickly

[shrewd onyx]

yeah, it was alright

[limpid plinth]

Literally rerelease Bf3/4 and I'd replay that instead of what they are cooking.

Hell I'd take the cops and robber BF over the new ones.

[fallow sequoia]

Hardline

I was laughing my ass off at the story for that game

[storm lynx]

It's funny that the Firestorm had the Flettner helicopter that was previoustly only used in BFH

[limpid plinth]

It's story was fun but so damn cheesy

[fallow sequoia]

You’re a detective who plays battlefield irl but have the ability to arrest

[limpid plinth]

That was actually pretty cool tho the way you had to focus each person so they didn't pull a weapon on you.

[fallow sequoia]

But multiplayer was fun. Cruisin with the boys in a vehicle blasting the in game radio

WHOOP WHOOP ITS THE SOUND OF THA POLICE

[storm lynx]

Hardline is an interesting concept that doesn't really work with Battlefield setting

[limpid plinth]

They also had Death Grips in one of the vehicles I was like yoooooo

[fallow sequoia]

Oh yeah

Also the funny reload animations that had a very low chance of triggering

[limpid plinth]

The deagle had the best one imo

[storm lynx]

the rpg had a funny one

[fallow sequoia]

Which one had the third arm again

[limpid plinth]

https://tenor.com/view/bfh-deagle-deagle-secret-secret-reload-bfh-battlefield-hardline-gif-27094427

[fallow sequoia]

I can hear this LMAO

[storm lynx]

the lewis easter egg was cool too

[limpid plinth]

It's so good lmao

[fallow sequoia]

https://tenor.com/view/gun-wtf-video-game-reload-thanks-gif-16393788

LOL

[storm lynx]

They clearly had a lot of fun making this game

[fallow sequoia]

Visceral weren’t allowed to make dead space anymore so they started shitposting

[limpid plinth]

It'd be fun if they did this to the finals reload animations lmao

[storm lynx]

that is a reasonable thing to do

[limpid plinth]

Also BFV had a reference to Doom with it's double barrel reload.

[storm lynx]

oh yeah, the finals needs some easter egg reloads

[fallow sequoia]

They also made the army of two remake but that never took off. Actually, it killed the ip

[limpid plinth]

Mayne. Army of two was so fun.

[storm lynx]

never heard of it

[fallow sequoia]

The first game was a banger

40th day was alright

Basically a story game built from the ground up with cooperative gameplay at its core

[storm lynx]

oh, now i know why i never heard of those games, console exclusives

[fallow sequoia]

Was a gem of its time

[limpid plinth]

Definitely worth having friends.

The devil's cartel was bad

[tranquil mist]

Then you'd better hope DICE gets sold off to someone else

[fallow sequoia]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpuvB_rAzMY

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO

FIRST DMC AND NOW THIS

[frosty zinc]

i was hoping ign/gamespot and others would review CS2...

[lean hazel]

another banger

decided to open a 0.25$ sticker capsule and got a 3$ sticker, rich life

[versed cradle]

[abstract walrus]

CS2 made 40mil in the first hour off of gambling alone

[versed cradle]

Just wanted to ask? Do you guys enjoy games? And if yes, which one?

[frosty zinc]

speaking of secret reloads, i like the doom reload https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dAXxGVcPWg

[lusty violet]

This is how I bought Street Fighter 6 for less than $20

[undone tide]

That's crazy they had the frame rate for the animation

[storm lynx]

I just beat it, it seems that my eyes decided that my face needs some more salt

they cooked

[gusty cairn]

dammit i knew it lol

[fallow sequoia]

played an inhouse cs2 5v5 with my fighting game local scene

so fun

[storm lynx]

[shrewd onyx]

@storm lynx I've finally got around to doing a cyberpunk playthrough

[storm lynx]

and? how's it going?

[storm lynx]

me waiting for @shrewd onyx response be like

[shrewd onyx]

it's good definitely enjoying it

[storm lynx]

cool, i'm glad you're enjoying it

[storm lynx]

playing premier in cs2 made me realize that i'm getting old

maybe ill just stick to casual

[lean hazel]

premier is ass

i literally only play casual, the goofiness in this mode is something else

just wish it gave more xp

[gusty cairn]

the time is nearly upon us friends

which brings me to another question

where the hell is ghost of tsushima

[storm lynx]

I rollbacked my save to choose different ending in PL
Hit twice as hard, although I feel way better with this one than what I originally chose
@gusty cairn get yourself some tissues

And also, I'm starting too see some hints towards PL being a little tease for the sequel...

[gusty cairn]

mind answering a question for me in a spoiler free way? are the endings to phantom liberty ending the game (like v gets cured or whatever)? or are they just an ending to phantom liberty questline

[storm lynx]

every ending for PL doesnt affect you being able to finish the game normally, but some endings in PL unlock a new main story ending

[gusty cairn]

ah i see. thanks

[storm lynx]

this is as much spoiler free as it can get

[gusty cairn]

yeah that's about what i expected XD

i got a minor spoiler today when someone showed off an ||iconic cyberdeck|| from the dlc

[storm lynx]

it honestly works exactly the same as Witcher 3 expansions - you can finish the story later and beat the expansions first if you want to

[gusty cairn]

what exactly that spoiler means for the overarching story, idk lol

[storm lynx]

i mean, it is not really a spoiler to say that the dlc contains new iconic stuff lol

if you'd go into detail - thats when the spoiler territory begins

but i know what you are talking about

[gusty cairn]

i mean i guess for players who haven't started it won't spoil much, but people who are halfwayish through can put 2 and 2 together

[storm lynx]

ok, the game just gave me one of the coolest cars in the game, ||when you drive it fast the holographic flames appear on the front of it||

[rapid fjord]

Hey not sure if anyone else knows but there is this pretty cool game that is supposed to launch this year.

Its called "The Finals".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYQLw2b__qA&t=41s
Here is a trailer for the closed beta which happened earlier this year.

Pretty excited for it. Its sorta like king of the hill with amazing environmental destruction.

[stuck sluice]

[versed cradle]

maso af

[uneven urchin]

PS4 is holding back the visual upgrading of FFXIV

[versed cradle]

its due for 7.0

[uneven urchin]

ok ok

might come back then

[versed cradle]

or at least new gfx shaders etc

wont be full rework but at least something

[uneven urchin]

Shaders are good

I just want them to update the textures

[versed cradle]

[limpid plinth]

[versed cradle]

[abstract walrus]

Watching Joseph Anderson playing starfield is really funny because he figures out how exactly you can bug out the game after a couple seconds

I had a hunch it was true but the way the game tracks if you're in a breathable environment or not is done through a flag when you open or close a airlock.

So if you're in a building, fast travel to your ship, and then exit it immedately, you won't need a spacesuit/pack/helmet.

[fossil talon]

yeah

[ocean osprey]

with renekton I can dodge morde E+Q then do a fury W then E out, and morde just Ws his healthbar up while I'm stacking fury

They just added that tutorial a few months ago

I officially finished Cyberpunk 2077 with every gig, ncpd scanner sidequest, entire phantom liberty expansion and did he don't fear the reaper ending (which in my head is canon)

Now I can finally turn that 4-star review I placed in my GoG library when game was initially released into a 5 star
It was worth waiting these 3 years

Season 5 was gud ngl

[zealous widget]

first i thought it was kirby

[willow river]

Ah, the most important sonic character, kirby

[abstract walrus]

Is anyone here a Frostpunk fan?

[abstract walrus]

Hmm

Spooky scary skeletons

Crawford's looking a bit under the weather ngl

[lean hazel]

holy trailer is fire

[storm lynx]

interesting, it was fun to see him play out such serious character

[plucky marten]

very interesting thy are doing 2 trailers now

almost like they just revealed a new game

gameplay trailer coming the 5th

but the map is exactly what i thought it was gonna be, a tight underground lab/bunker with a giant simulation room where you can shoot out the ceiling sky tiles
which i think is such a cool concept

but it's probably infantry only with no vehicles at all, maybe a quad bike in the sim room at most. which probably means there isn't a new vehicle for the season which is fine

[abstract walrus]

I suspect they're going to use the gameplay trailer to show off the new smaller changes

They've completely redone the vehicle physics so it'll feel less floatly

[plucky marten]

yeah and all actual new content

[abstract walrus]

This is definitely a new gun

[plucky marten]

me excited

[abstract walrus]

This is probably a skin for it

[shrewd onyx]

will it be a hunter vs hunted game mode

[abstract walrus]

Mid Season event will probably be No-Pats vs Arkangel

I do wonder... what... exactly they're setting up

There's a lot going on in the lore rn and it's not explained even slightly

[hearty spire]

why is there a bunch of loot in this one spot

[storm lynx]

nobody actually knows

it's just there, for everyone on every save

and cdpr didn't aknowledge it as a bug for upcoming patch, but maybe they will silently fix it, it's a really really minor bug tbh so idk why should they list it in the first place

[stuck sluice]

bruh i just opened cs2 and the glitch effect on the loading screen made me thing my gpu just broke lol

[gusty cairn]

holy shit. cyberpunk now officially has my favorite soundtrack of all time

[willow river]

Kingsway

[void smelt]

Baldur's Gate 3 and Divinity: Original Sin 2

[crimson jasper]

[void smelt]

Then you can see them romancing Lae'zel first hand

[stuck sluice]

gta 6 releasing tommorow confirmed

[void smelt]

You know, this is the kind of conspiracy I would 100% believe if true

The letters are very suspicious

[stuck sluice]

[lean hazel]

[abstract walrus]

The GTA conspiracy is great

[lean hazel]

[stuck sluice]

[shrewd onyx]

Crabs in Minecraft?

[simple spruce]

should i get with either Karlach or Astarion [again] in my next bg3 playthrough or should i do something different and go for Lae'zel this time?

what do yall think?

[barren island]

Depends if you want to risk getting [spoilered cause adult word] by Karlach if you have a male character or not. ( Seen lots of people cry about that )

👼

[simple spruce]

sounds tempting 👀

PLEASE GOD INVITE TO THE PLAYTEST

[uneven urchin]

the moon is still off by a little bit tbf

can you move it up by a week?

[storm lynx]

ragdolls in cs2 are hilariiously good
valve did it on purpose

I was playing casual today and my teammae got headshotted from awp, his ragdoll got pinned to the wall so hard it looked like a gmod animation

[lusty violet]

I think it’s the first time I’ve ever seen blood on the ceiling

[storm lynx]

clearly you haven't used that one stairs camp spot in tunnels on overpass

[storm lynx]

the amount of gta vi hopium is off the charts

[sturdy ridge]

Just let us have this

[gusty cairn]

lol. try pathtracing in screenshot mode. great screenshots, no performance issues in gameplay

[storm lynx]

ozzzi's pc after enabling pathtracing:

https://tenor.com/view/overheat-computer-explosion-boom-spark-gif-17323916

[gusty cairn]

i mean i managed pathtracing in gameplay with a 5800x and a 3070. 30 fps in general night city. absolutely crapped out in dog town tho. slideshow over there. but pathtracing in photomode just gives amazing screenshots

[barren island]

apparantly I am, I don't even remember playing this

[quartz perch]

If you don’t need it slide it to me cope

[barren island]

There's no code or anything, it's just added to my account, sorry

but maybe you might get some as well, the email just went out

[quartz perch]

Oof

[storm lynx]

Squad is such a good game now after 6.0

most fun i've had in a long time

gone are the QE spammers, you actually have to show off some skill when shooting, game finally feels like a milsim rather than Battlefield Hardcore

[raven halo]

It's just so damn FRUSTRATING, I can't fucking handle in man I'm going insane

[sacred knot]

https://tenor.com/view/indian-ninja-gif-18413610

[storm lynx]

damn dude, this is some serious skill issue right there

[sacred knot]

need to use your jimp kit and slide WAY more

[raven halo]

The faster I go the less I can aim

[sacred knot]

highly recommend playing campaign if you haven't it will tutorialize the movement mechanics pretty decently

[storm lynx]

like, the first two clips are literally just you having worse aim than the enemy, third one is just you being unlucky asf and walking into two titans and a pilot and last one is just you getting slapped

[sacred knot]

movement lets you go to places your enemy doesn't expect giving you time to aim

[storm lynx]

cherry on top was that ragequit after you getting absolutely demolished by those three guys in 3rd clip lol

i feel you

[raven halo]

I lasted 15 seconds...

I love this game but I SUCK at it, even after 100 hours

[storm lynx]

thats titanfall for you

nobody is good at this game, it's just tha some people suck at it less than the others

but yeah, spookshel is kinda right - last thing you wanna do is to stay on the ground, you gota use that wallrunning to your advantage to have better possision

rooftops, hard to reach places, high ground... these things are your best friend in terms of Pilot vs Pilot combat

[raven halo]

But what about THE AIM

[storm lynx]

practice

[raven halo]

There's no point in any of that if I can't hit anything after years of gaming

[storm lynx]

https://tenor.com/view/shrug-gif-25269231

Then maybe these types of games aren't for you, thats why I avoid Titanfall even though I like it very much
Unless your aim sucks in every single fps game you've played... then uhhh.... idk

The Finals seems like a good middle ground between precision shooters like titanfall and tactical shooters like CS

[raven halo]

I also sucked at Finals but I won't be able to tell how good I am now, because it ain't fucking out and I'm dying waiting

[storm lynx]

I play FPS games since I was a kid in elementary school and I still suck ass compared to other people
I have almost 3k hours in Fortnite and I still can't build well, hundereds of hours in Battlefield games and I still am a mediocre player at best, over 160h in Squad and still struggle with stuff like aim or positioning...
the list goes on

[raven halo]

How do you live

I can't handle it, I've broken so many controllers and mice because of that

[storm lynx]

I just don't take pixels on my screen too seriously, thats all

sure i get angry sometimes but worst i can do is punch my desk which is a hard wood so no harm done

it is sometimes better to just not care or stop caring instead of straight up wasting your cash for a new keyboard just because you died 20 times in a row

Instead of screaming into a mic or throwing shit around the room I mostly just analyze the situation and figure out what did I do wrong and then just dont repeat the same mistake again or practice long enough so the problem solves itself.

[raven halo]

I make the same mistakes over and over in my entire life

[storm lynx]

those mistakes being?

[raven halo]

Existing

But seriously, I mean in general

While studying, while working on assignments, while talking, while doing anything, random mistakes that people usually do once and never again, I do over and over and over

Might be my ADHD, might be something else, or I might just be the stupidest person on earth

[storm lynx]

Well I ain't exactly a psychologist but best I can tell you is that if you find yourself doing the same mistake over and over again, just slow down, think about it for a while and try to figure out a solution on how to stop doing it and that best for you.
At least, that's what I tend to do when finding myself struggling with something - trying to figure out what is the core of the issue and what is the best way to get rid of it.

[raven halo]

🙁

[elfin copper]

Can we get a Titanfall 3...

[simple spruce]

what weapons do y'all main in splatoon?

[lament pilot]

The goomba

[warm temple]

we pray we get one and that Respawn and EA don’t mess it up 🙏

[sterile sandal]

OMFG. Well I’m glad your asking. As a splatoon 2 top 500 player. I was the back liner which meant I was playing nautilus 47 / 79

I’m actually love splatoon so much but I haven’t played in a year or two since buying a pc

what in the fuck

[void smelt]

[left nebula]

you play like its apex

[mild sequoia]

if anyone watches CS eSports then this is a big shocker

[raven halo]

I don't play apex

So idk

[left nebula]

its a movemnt game first and foremost

before anything else you need to be fast and active

[raven halo]

Yoooooo Cities Skylines 2 eSports? Cool!

[raven halo]

Which I'm not, so, pain

[left nebula]

"mutual decission" they dropped him.

[left nebula]

it took me a while, but you just gotta focus on parcor and figure out aiming as you do that. you're playin it as if you are a grunt atm, but you gotta think about the tools you have and how you can use them to disadvantage your opponents

[raven halo]

Man I keep saying this with shame, but I have 100 hours in the game and still play like a noob sometimes

[versed cradle]

help

[left nebula]

STOP BEFORE ITS TOO LATE

LYN YOU CAN SAVE YOURSELF

[versed cradle]

already half way through, i must finish.

[left nebula]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[lean hazel]

who did this to you

i was forced to download it a week ago too

[versed cradle]

the other server

[lean hazel]

[versed cradle]
