[stuck aurora]

any of you heard of the game Out Of Action?

[tropic creek]

Ye what's up with it ?👀

[royal smelt]

I tried arc raiders. Compared to the marathon alpha I did not enjoy it.

U don’t have to agree with me thats just my experience. The marathon world is just a lot more intriguing to me.

[tropic creek]

I'll try it out later today
Gonna see how it is

[somber mantle]

We will find out if we got into the playtest on Monday right?

[outer patio]

fartin

[muted heron]

Fr?

[ember mountain]

The same 6 colors is intriguing to you?

Don’t get me wrong. The marathon alpha was phenomenal and I didn’t see anything wrong with it besides the perk system

But Arc is leagues better it’s not even debatable especially the graphics and the way the enemies every encounter is so different

[stable lark]

Even if that was the case, it's better than the three colors in arc raiders

[misty island]

hey

[wild cave]

i tried arc raiders for the first time today, seems fun
i've been looking for a satisfying third person shooter, so maybe it'll fill that for me
i want to try marathon too sob

[outer patio]

fartin

[gaunt jay]

no way

[royal smelt]

100% i friggen love it. That's what im there for~!

[royal smelt]

100% it feels like every other game out there in aesthetics.

[ember mountain]

3 colers? There’s five different maps all unique marathons is going to have 3 same lime, green color in all 3

[stable lark]

All very unique browns and greys, yes

[ember mountain]

It’s the same thing all the enemies are programmed the same way

[outer patio]

me when i lie

[ember mountain]

The arc machines weren’t even programmed by the developers they learned on their own they learned how to hunt the player

[ember mountain]

Use google

[outer patio]

braaap

[ember mountain]

Good boy now come back here and tell Daddy what you found

[outer patio]

im fartin real loud just for u

[ember mountain]

Good

[ember mountain]

I like arc because it’s actually going to be good. I like marathon because it’s something I need

[outer patio]

i like arc because gunplay is more realistic and wahtever but marathon has a more engaging and interesting story

[stable lark]

it is really not hard to see how dire marsh and perimeter are different and its only going to get crazier from there

[ember mountain]

There is no story with marathon though lol

[outer patio]

you know nothing about the games then clearly

[ember mountain]

You know nothing about Arc then

[outer patio]

i dont really need to

[ember mountain]

neither do I :))

[outer patio]

well yes but when u just assume something u kinda look dumb

[ember mountain]

did you know Traxus is in all three budgie games

[royal smelt]

its okay gowrlies, we are all skibidi and sigma here!

[ember mountain]

Halo destiny and marathon

[outer patio]

yes

[ember mountain]

I don’t need to assume anything

Arc is better because it’s actually coming out

[outer patio]

real

[ember mountain]

And the developers didn’t need to steal anything b

When destiny gets shut down

Arc will rise

[outer patio]

pls be soon

[stable lark]

They also didn't need to hire voice actors :)

Really don't get how people think a Nexon game with AI voices somehow has any sort of moral high ground.

[outer patio]

braaap

[ember mountain]

Because it’s not thievery

AI voices isn’t good either

But it’s a hell of a lot better than copy and paste and then lying about it

I love Traxus but they couldn’t come up with anything unique we are in 3 different games lmfao

Might as well bring out TexMachina

[shy flame]

This is the game youre defending btw

this hamster is dancing at ~160 bpm

AR will lose 90% of its playerbase before marathon is even out🗣️

[ember mountain]

They brought out MIDA might as well bring out more like Omolon

That thing was a monster

Never coming back

[ember mountain]

Hot

[karmic sable]

ARC and Marathon will have the Curse of Extraction Shooter, that is when they come out they will be hyped for 2 months and majority of players will move away and leaving the game with its core audience

[shy flame]

No, over ice

[karmic sable]

I also think Arc will also have some struggling because its too close to Tarkov 1.0 and its Steam release

People WILL play Tarkov 1.0 when it comes out

[shy flame]

Tarkov Turk, Deadly Bird

[karmic sable]

As much as people shit on Tarkov, its 1.0 release will be the most popular Extraction Shooter game ever

[dim cedar]

anyone know when the playtest starts?

[shy flame]

Tomorrow

[dim cedar]

fr? wheres the info

[shy flame]

Idk

[karmic sable]

Invites go out on 20th, playtest begins at 22nd 10 AM PT

[dim cedar]

ok ty

[karmic sable]

#marathon-news message

Here is the info, from the FAQ they announced

[thin linden]

Skibidi toilet

[scenic meteor]

Arc raiders comes out 2 weeks before Tarkov it’s not that close and tbh hopefully 1.0 release on steam opens a lot of peoples eyes that the game is kinda trash

[tropic creek]

Ngl I prefer arc over tarkov
The shit they did with Tarkov is just ridiculous
Just not enjoyable anymore

[final mauve]

Mornin mornin everyone!

Today’s a good day!
Got a perfect score on my Calc midterm

Where’s neeyth when you need someone to go “#nerdables”

[final mauve]

The AI is still ridiculous and pve tarkov feels more like youre playing a horde shooter

[scenic meteor]

The Tarkov no lifers suggest for the new player experience to having map genie on a second monitor and keep the game wiki up while playing the game is insane to me

[final mauve]

Tbh that sounds no diff than DayZ advice🤣

Have a map on a phone or other display at all times and basically cheat instead of using the direction items and landmarks to use real land nav🫠

If you can get a not broken or defective compass you can basically plot and graph out your own map if you wanted by the square mile

[trim summit]

makes it more immersive imo.

[final mauve]

Today’s in fact such a good day, I might get donuts

[trim summit]

glazed donuts

[tropic creek]

Oooo donut daaay

[final mauve]

Hell yeah. Lets see what Giant Eagle got today.
Love my local one, their bakers are the best ones Ive dealt with and gotten baked goods from

[karmic sable]

Again thats true, but Tarkov 1.0 is such a big name that people WILL play it

[tropic creek]

More problems
More bugs
And the important part
More hackers
🙌🏻Tarkov 1.0 🙌🏻

We found the car

[grizzled sinew]

How would you all feel if they had a traditional team shooter mode as well as the extraction mode, like how Apex has a BR and a team shooter mode?

Or would it just end up muddying the game's identity?

[stone grail]

Idc

[final mauve]

Huh i never knew i had a 4th edition (Barron) of a Dictionary of Legal Terms

[upper storm]

Hunt ended up adding a sort of team deathmatch mode in bounty clash and I definitely appreciate having it as a warm-up option

It certainly didn't supplant the main game mode or anything

[grizzled sinew]

I would quite like it too

Nothing serious or, like, overly well done, just a small mode that complements the extraction would be nice imo

[tropic creek]

I used to love playing hunt
But after all my people fucked off i had no balls of playing it solo anymore :c

[gleaming bough]

Thats wild...
Wild... hunt...
Wild Hunt

Perhaps im the reason why

[tropic creek]

Why the poor Witcher

No but it is preferred as if you are accepted you can access the NDA channels to talk with the other participants and devs

[kindred vigil]

HOW!!!!

It doesn't bust up in juices or is a ball bruh

[scenic meteor]

Cause it’s soft and mushy and comes from a flower

[kindred vigil]

wait wait wait wait

bananas come from flowers

[scenic meteor]

Banana trees don’t exist

[kindred vigil]

I'm genuinely serious I didn't know that

I honestly didn't know where the fuck bananas come from I thought they just did that

Wikipedia says it's a fruit so wtf!!

[scenic meteor]

Can a berry be a fruit?

[kindred vigil]

Yes it says berries r fruits

It's produced from a ovary from a single flower

flowers have...ovaries...?????

wow I'm learning a lot rn.................ts crazy....

Noon

[proven kernel]

Morning is subjective.

Aka when I wake up and when I decide it’s over.

[stone grail]

Time is a social construct

[wooden fjord]

Happy Saturyay everyone, have fun if you're going to any events or anything

[narrow nebula]

Did they add prox chat

[scenic meteor]

The sun and moon isn’t subjective though

[tame nacelle]

Yup

[narrow nebula]

nice

[karmic sable]

They mention Prox Chat on the FAQ

[stone grail]

It is in Aliens Earth because there is a scene where the tide don't move, meaning the moon is subjective 🫵 😂

[karmic sable]

I wonder how many people actually read the FAQ

[stone grail]

You think Tiktok kids can actually read

They can barely understand what they are watching to begin with

[karmic sable]

Like they LITERALLY say it here

"This is an important checkpoint for us as we test our improvements since Alpha, including three maps, five runner shells, prox chat, re-tuned combat pacing, solo queue, deeper environmental storytelling, and more"

[narrow nebula]

Okay damn just was curious

[scenic meteor]

Go back to TikTok buddy

[narrow nebula]

Okay I love tiktok!!

Instead of reading I like it when nerds online tell me the answer

Even tho it came that the trailer was legitimately faked (+iirc?)

[final mauve]

Perfect Dark Zero sucked, i dunno how they were gonna save a 1 off franchise tbh

2 games, one was great and ahead of its time, the sequel was total shit

[kindred vigil]

Well WE ALL (yes we )playing light of moitram when it drops ✌️😂

[final mauve]

I play 1 Marathon The Extraction Shooter level a day🙂

Whatever I got remains my high score until I repeat the cycle of the 255 levels

[kindred vigil]

ts lwk genius 1 level for 256 days that's completable in a year or few months

[stone grail]

Oh Arc has a tutorial

Also no Azerty support in 2025 is cringe

[final mauve]

Thats the point!
Plus I already got NEFX stickers on the way!!!
And more designs Im making for him😁

[kindred vigil]

you play....azerty..?

French keyboards 😂✌️

[final mauve]

Neeyth, would you like a NEFX sticker when I get them?

[kindred vigil]

What's nefx that's the creator right

[final mauve]

He goes by: NEFX Adminn_1, and more recently also xXOIOXx

[kindred vigil]

oh yeah I remember him from last time you spoke about his marathon level

Custom ost and all?

[stone grail]

Why the fuck is the Arc movement so clunky this is horrible, getting stuck in a slide that is slow af wtf

[final mauve]

Textures, ost, and the last 200 levels are the same except each has 700 individually programmed platforms that are all different from each of the 200 levels

[kindred vigil]

I wanna believe it's a test and it's not done but arc is literally done (as evident with the "buy full game tabs" I think it's clunky on purpose

Like doesn't tarkov have purposeful clunkiness and jank or am I tweaking

[tropic creek]

Never had this kind of problem tbh

[rich breach]

[kindred vigil]

I mean it's smooth in my opinion but it has clunky and weighted anims

it's a + for some - for some

[tropic creek]

Nonono they have hackers on purpose

[jaunty crystal]

I appreciate Arc level of immersion and polish but I cant see myself invest time in the game, I would if it was pve like division

[kindred vigil]

I wish they stuck with the original pve concept

[tropic creek]

Never met a nice person in this game
Thats why im just shooting everyone now LOL

[final mauve]

Space army of two wouldve been cool

[kindred vigil]

When they first announced, seeing the Atari logo in a retro futurist setting and the environment was cool, it being a f2p pve game was interesting

then they made it a extraction

[stone grail]

Play the ga;e

[kindred vigil]

Army of two mentioned holy fuck ???

[jaunty crystal]

that was a fun coop game

[kindred vigil]

Can ea please port 40th dayc

[jaunty crystal]

back in the bulky men with guns days

[kindred vigil]

lwk glad we're out the bulky one man army piss filter shooter 2011 era

We had some bangers tho so whatever 😂✌️

[jaunty crystal]

yea by gears of war 2 I was already done

[kindred vigil]

like one years old
oh

[jaunty crystal]

lol

[kindred vigil]

Lwk is 2016 the last shooting game golden era

actually I'd say 2019

[tropic creek]

Best shooter ever Kane & Lynch 2 💀

[stone grail]

But yeah no, i slide, i mash C and jump and i can't cancel out of it, so my characters sometimes get stuck constantly sliding for a few seconds if the map is even slightly inclined

[rich breach]

2018 or 2019

[jaunty crystal]

MW19 sure that was a good come back

[kindred vigil]

ever since then they wanted to be mw19 or battlefield 2042 since

[stone grail]

Imagine trying to slide to cover and your character won't stop sliding

[jaunty crystal]

thats a cod player dream

[stone grail]

No, resctricting movement is awful in any fast paced shooter

[jaunty crystal]

im not serious

[stone grail]

You never know, some people make the same type of dumb arguments unironically

[kindred vigil]

2019 was bangers tho, mw19, metro exodus, apex (release apex was good), borderlands 3 (it has good gameplay ), generation zero, doom eternal,

I miss release apex 🥀

[stone grail]

Also characters don't look great, no good faces too choose from

[jaunty crystal]

look up 2007 games, I was 17 and living the shooter dream

[stone grail]

Especially the guys, they got shafted

[kindred vigil]

Bruh it's realistic!!! In a real life scenario, can you slide cancel? NOPE! #checkmate!

Golden Age

[stone grail]

Also why are hair grey when i select the black color

[jaunty crystal]

yea, I like progress but you can see why so many of my millenials people are always complaining if they are stuck in nostalgia

[kindred vigil]

I was like legit 1 when the golden age happened but I can understand why some would prefer 2000s shooters than what we have now

I think both eras was good but ever since mw19 shooters seriously got stale as fuck

There's no more experimentation

[jaunty crystal]

BF6 is great, maps are awkward but they will figure it out

[final mauve]

Theyre such nihilists and act like their lives are terrible and the end of the world, meanwhile theyre living pretty alr with a JOB.🙃. And a FAMILY. And yet have the gal to make drinking an entire personality trait

where did this come from are u ok

[final mauve]

Millennials existing

[jaunty crystal]

from calling out a certain type of people from my generation

[kindred vigil]

what age group is millennial, anything pre 1999?

[final mauve]

1981 is the start

[kindred vigil]

lwk millennials do complain a lot #nooffense

[jaunty crystal]

1981 is LATE millennial

[final mauve]

1981-1996. Bruh they grew up with the best shit and technology???

[kindred vigil]

but we complain a lot too over the littlest shit

Same shit different toilet...🥀💔

[final mauve]

Same toilet bowl😔

[quartz abyss]

nvm

[jaunty crystal]

I was born 1990 yea done all the gaming stuff

[stone grail]

Sometimes small things do matter, imagine trying to fire a gun that doesn't have any rivets.

[kindred vigil]

#whatdatmean

[jaunty crystal]

maybe not atari

[final mauve]

Ha! My dad was 80’. He got to REALLY get into gaming

[kindred vigil]

literally that's when gaming started to flourish no? Cuz snes? And genesis?

[stone grail]

Or maybe try making a clock work without any of the small mechanism inside

[jaunty crystal]

he had commodore 64?

[final mauve]

He played soooo many fucking games and still does

[jaunty crystal]

yea my first consoles were snes genesis, but at 9 I got the PS1 and really became a GAMER

[kindred vigil]

Like didn't snes legit save gaming cuz atari ass almost made it crash with ET

[final mauve]

He had like 4 diff Ataris, various nintendos, PCs and Macs😅
Althought not all were actually his, he went to friends houses for some and also worked at a computer store for a while when he was a teenager, so he got to play a ton of pc games throughout the whole 90s

[kindred vigil]

It's crazy to think abt

[final mauve]

And that includes Bungie games which he faintly remembers

But then when half life came out he had the CD copy before steam was a thing

[quartz abyss]

did he play minecraft

[kindred vigil]

yeah did he

[final mauve]

He used to play at tournaments for Half Life, HS, and Halo 2

[kindred vigil]

if u guys got gamer parents u low-key lucky

[final mauve]

He doesn’t like minecraft lel
I know its a hot take, but he finds it repetitive and boring after like 15 minutes

[kindred vigil]

I feel like playing games with yo parents #peakables

[final mauve]

My mom used to play a ton of WoW and Diablo in college!

[stone grail]

Yo Lance is cool best Arc npc by far

[final mauve]

My dad introduced me to Halo on the og xbox. Him and i played through every halo, split screen co-op

[jaunty crystal]

my parents absolutely hated me playing games, it was so shunned if you were not a nerd but I didnt care

[kindred vigil]

are we getting a play by play review live

[final mauve]

My mom got to watch my dad play mass effect and other rpgs. She likes those kinds of games.

[kindred vigil]

How old is wow wtf

That's not a diss more so how old is wow for ur parents to play it in college

[final mauve]

2004. Lel

[kindred vigil]

My dad introduced me to games but overtime as I got older he doesn't seem to enjoy that I still like them a lot idk

[final mauve]

Diablo came out in 1996

[kindred vigil]

my mom bought all my games stuff though, and usually researched on games that I like

[final mauve]

My dad is 1980, mom is 1981.

[kindred vigil]

is it me or I feel like 1996 is not that old what the fuck

[final mauve]

My dad has experience with CompTIA and various games since he was like 3?

[kindred vigil]

is 1996 old??? Ts tweaking me out 💔💔

[final mauve]

My mom played a ton of Diablo 😅

[final mauve]

No not really

Id say thats pretty young tbh

#neeythables

Yeah I have a demo disk for WoW my dad kept from the old computer store actually!

[jaunty crystal]

warcaft is 90s, world of wacraft was 2004

[kindred vigil]

wait it's 2 games

[autumn fulcrum]

Whatttttts happening, fellow Runners? 👋

[stone grail]

Game also shifted a lot in it's style between Warcraft and World of warcraft

[final mauve]

My mom played WoW when she was wrapping up her masters.
My dad got the demo disk sometime after coming back to the US.
And my mom also played Diablo and Diablo 2

[jaunty crystal]

grandpas telling gaming storys of old

[final mauve]

Im 19…

[stone grail]

There was also a canceled Point and click Warcraft game

[autumn fulcrum]

not the grandpa call out

[quartz abyss]

ya ur old if ur 1996 yrs old

[final mauve]

Speaking of. Myst! Great game. Riven even better

[stone grail]

Myst is very good

[jaunty crystal]

dang are you like a new age hipster?

[stone grail]

What's hipster about that

[kindred vigil]

Sparkling water lwk good I see what these folks scream about

[final mauve]

I like computers and technology. 🙂

[jaunty crystal]

well vidmaster is old school

its like me at 19 into 80s stuff

[final mauve]

Get flavored ones, theyre so much better than sodas. Helps you cut the sugar and bs out of sodas

[autumn fulcrum]

tech head fun

[kindred vigil]

yeah I have a flavored one

[final mauve]

Comp Sci Major as well, hopefully I can get a Masters😅

[stone grail]

Gl on that

[final mauve]

Working on my own game projects and still building experience in other fields

[final mauve]

Its going well so far!
Ive had some experience prior, so far nothing that I see is going over my head

[stable lark]

Myst is like the least hipster thing ever. It broke the record for best-selling PC game.

[final mauve]

Riven broke it even more when it came out

[kindred vigil]

idk what the hell is a myst

[jaunty crystal]

I wasnt talking about Myst wrong reply

[autumn fulcrum]

at 19 going for masters? hell yeah dude

[final mauve]

A point and click puzzle adventure franchise and originally a game in 1993 made by a studio named Cyan

[kindred vigil]

This looks like something that'd release now

[final mauve]

Yeah i have 2 scholarships so far and mil. benefits covering the rest, with leftover paid back to my pocket

[jaunty crystal]

yea smart kid looking at the past to make a better future

[autumn fulcrum]

thats so sick

[final mauve]

As long as i keep a high GPA i can likely also earn more scholarships, and bank off of college instead of take a loan and get into years of accumulated debt

[stone grail]

Another really good point and click game is Asylum

[kindred vigil]

u pretty smart asl wtf ✌️@final mauve

[stone grail]

Scratches also from the same devs

[final mauve]

Wanna know what game I see not getting enough love? Thief!

[final mauve]

Thank you😁

[kindred vigil]

I only know the shitty thief

[final mauve]

Oh the remake…

[stone grail]

Original games were really cool and ahead of their time, it's the shame that the reboot...sequel? wasn't great

[kindred vigil]

2014 thief buns asf

[final mauve]

A Bards Tale is a fun series

[stone grail]

My mom pre ordered it because she is a fan of the OG, she was so mad when she got to play it

We honestly need more games in the style of old thief, immersive sim stuff in general

Last good one was what, Cruelty squad? That game is weird af tho

[jaunty crystal]

oh yea Thief classic

[final mauve]

Fallout was originally supposed to be Wasteland 2. However, EA the publisher did not agree to what Interplay had at the time, nor did the creator(s) of the GURPS system approve due to the level of gore and violence.

[jaunty crystal]

you should try Splinter Cell games they are now on sale in steam if you want some stealth games, theres mods out there too to fix things for modern rigs

start with the trilogy

[stone grail]

Yup, there is also that cancelled Fallout game that was never made

[karmic lava]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1094598504200011778/1412902865604710510/togif.gif

[final mauve]

I got the SC games through internet archive and just applied dgvoodoo to fix the lighting, plus added in the extra levels and pandoras tommorow

[stone grail]

Fallout Van Buren, the real FO3

[final mauve]

its the exact same game if you download off the archive, same files. You still need dgvoodoo for widescreen and lighting fix. Dont buy off steam and support ubisoft🙂

[final mauve]

Tactics 2 when?

I actually enjoyed Tactics

[stone grail]

Most likely never, people want more garbage bethesda fallout slop

the show proved it

[final mauve]

They did however fix 76 up pretty nice. And starfield isnt the worst game to play, but ill admit without mods it does get stale.

[final mauve]

I wasnt the biggest fan of the show, and iirc didnt they just recast Mr House??

[stone grail]

76 got fixed yeah, objectively i agree but subjectively, after playing it on console it still was really boring and ass

[final mauve]

Its fun when you find someone like level 700 and they drop a ludacris amount of items

[stone grail]

Also giving nuke access to players is such a middle finger to what fallout means as a concept

[stone grail]

Allegedly, but even a recast can't fix his character because the very brief apparence he had in the show made no sense and was so out of character, House from the game would never agree or say so many moronic statements

[final mauve]

Well the idea is that war and strife never leaves, the cycle of bloodshed repeats no matter what.
The first game: you carve your way through tens of people, and a mutant army to save your vault.
Fallout 2: you deal with a lot of the world’s bs and kill a ton of people and eventually cripple the Enclave and put and end to their reign on the West.

The nukes are just a tool for players to continue the cycle that doomed humanity

The same way we see in new vegas with the aftermath that was, the divide

Trying to be like the old world will bring humanity back into the same cycle that nearly wiped it out

[stone grail]

It wasn't the player for divide, they aren't responsible for it

They brought the code but they didn't launch the nuke

Intent matters a lot, which is what Ulysses ignore from his madness

[final mauve]

Which is why, I dome him every playthrough

Sneak crit build ftw

[stone grail]

Same, he's too crazy to continue on living especially since he has access to nukes himself

[final mauve]

He set me up for a giant winding death trap.
And then has the nerve to blame me for something I never did, and he knew something was off about the plat chip deliver so he set us up to go and die

[stone grail]

Yeah exactly it's his fault, you can even make him realize it but he quickly try to move the goal post

he's such a snake i love his character

[final mauve]

He also fails to recognize the NCR for establishing California as a mostly safe place and pretty damn civilized

[stone grail]

Yup, NCR want a post post apocalypse world and it's admirable

They aren't perfect but it's a honorable goal

[golden finch]

can we overthrow the government already tho?

[kindred vigil]

mango 67 67 ✌️😂😂✌️😂✌️

[final mauve]

The issue with the NCR is that Kimball is so adamant on the Mojave, when Mr House is already there playing them like fiddles, plus a bunch of locals who are mostly independent already. And then an expanding Caesars Legion

[tropic creek]

How do i sign up for the playtest ? 👀

[kindred vigil]

u may not

[stone grail]

Which is another reason why i hate the show, they shit on the concept of a post post apoc world because they are scared of having to write something actually complex, they just want the status quo to continue

[tawny raft]

and taxes

[final mauve]

And yet taxes pay and contribute to a lot of things🙃
Europe pays extra on taxes for what’s considered “free healthcare”

[brazen snow]

Go to the official Bungie / marathon website

[frank cove]

BE READY for those codes !!!!!!!
Coming up pretty soon

[tawny raft]

I can respect that least it's not any of the other problems present with 'Caesar".

[stone grail]

I still love how Caesar is just Fallout PirateSoftware, he has no idea wtf he talks about but he sounds convincing when he says it so people believe him

[kindred vigil]

whot he fuck is Caesar are we talking about the Roman guy

[stone grail]

He took his name but yes

Real name Edward...Sallow i believe

[kindred vigil]

wait he calls himself....Caesar...?

[stone grail]

Yeah

[kindred vigil]

that's the most cornball thing I've ever seen oh my god

[stone grail]

He's a mega cornball

[tropic creek]

Wait you dont know caesar ?

And his group of idiots lol

[kindred vigil]

I know by his name pirate software

[tawny raft]

He was previously with the followers of the apocalypse and got a hold of some old literature

[stone grail]

He's a guy who half read a book and now he thinks he knows everything even tho he mis-interpreted what the book actually said

He's a really cool bad guy in new vegas

[final mauve]

He failed to read the part where the senate goes out for him🙂

[kindred vigil]

wait are u talking about pirate software or something else

[stone grail]

LMAO

[kindred vigil]

🥀💔I think I got a bit confused

[tawny raft]

And dies lol

[stone grail]

Brutus.......

[final mauve]

Would be funny if there was a Scipio in fnv, we can make fun of him for basically stealing a win after tens of losses🙃🙃

[final mauve]

Et tu brutus?

[stone grail]

I want to play New vegas again, all the characters are so cool and their writing makes sense

[final mauve]

You know who i dont like in NV? Cass

[stone grail]

I'm not a fan either, she's fine but the least interesting companion that's for sure

[kindred vigil]

I only like the bandaged up guy from that game

[stone grail]

Boone and Arcade are way more interesting, Veronica too

[final mauve]

Cass is just…such a sad, lame sap.
And she has the audacity to take matters into her own hands by being reckless when Im the one who helped her get out of that outpost

[stone grail]

Yeah she has a massive ego

[final mauve]

Boone i like a lot.
Veronica’s is good too

[kindred vigil]

buddy name is a damn outing venue 💔

[final mauve]

Arcade…i think the enclave twist is kinda ehh? Odd?
But its cool

[stone grail]

Arcade Ganon

[kindred vigil]

Ganondorf 😨

[tawny raft]

"Then fall, Caesar"

[kindred vigil]

I always wonder if Pokemon are aware if they're even alive

[final mauve]

I liked nv…then theres fo3…uhhggggg

I know 3 saved the series, but like…in retrospect 3 is kinda not that good

[glass harbor]

Do not trust a fart

[obsidian plover]

Nv really isn’t honestly that good.

[final mauve]

Its very linear imo and so many side quests are easy to miss and feel out of place next to the writing of other levels

[obsidian plover]

3 is worse
4 is just really bad

[final mauve]

3 is muuuch worse lel. The only good out of 3 was the exploration imo

[obsidian plover]

Ye NV is hella rigid. Just another Bolt On instead of actually trying

[final mauve]

After like 2-3 playthroughs the magic loses its touch

[obsidian plover]

Real

[final mauve]

Then you realize you kinda wanna just do a kill em all run, and then you find that to be boring because you cant do any side quests or buy because everyone hates you

[kindred vigil]

fallout haters...IM HOME??? 🥹🥹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❓❓

[final mauve]

And it feels like…hooooome
WHEN YOU CALL MY NAME-

[stone grail]

What do you think of Driver Nephi

[final mauve]

Violet the GOAT

[stone grail]

He’s my spirit animal tbh

[final mauve]

Violet at least cares for all those dogs

[stone grail]

Wasn’t expecting her to bark tbh

[final mauve]

Cook-Cook is actually insane. He’ll go apeshit if you kill his prized cow

He’ll agro and start taking out every other fiend around him

[stone grail]

He’s also nasty

[final mauve]

Iirc he was the worst one

[stone grail]

Yeah he is

[final mauve]

I love how you can sly your way into the fiend vault and everyone’s like “yo chill he’s the plug”

And they dont care what you take. To them, youre like walter white

So i go all the way to the end, then fight my way back to the top

[upper storm]

the biggest issue with nv as an rpg by far is the fact that NCR is wildly overrepresented

[stone grail]

Yeah lots of ways to deal with their vault

I mean they are aggressively taking over the Mojave so it makes sense, it it causes them a lot of issues because they are spread thin

[upper storm]

like a third of the fucking quests in the game are NCR aligned. if you play a character who doesn't fw NCR or god forbid is hostile to them you have so many less quests to do

[stone grail]

Thats one of the only reason they struggle with the legion otherwise they would stomp them

[upper storm]

i just mean in game design terms

other factions don't have enough content, and pissing off one specific faction completely changes the whole game

[stone grail]

Oh on that front yeah I agree

The little amount of quests House has is criminal

[upper storm]

god yeah House basically has no side quests

Legion is like. fix our howitzer and blow up a train. alright thanks bye

[final mauve]

Speaking of a lot of people miss Bye Bye Love

[scenic meteor]

Not the fallout talk again 😨

[upper storm]

it's chill we're hating rn

[scenic meteor]

Can we start yapping about Minecraft or like cod

[stone grail]

Minecraft phantoms need to be removed

[tropic creek]

No they're cute

[late peak]

let me play

[obsidian plover]

Pee

[tropic creek]

poo

[agile mason]

no.

[kindred vigil]

I just saw an Minecraft 67 ad

Has anyone gotten the invitation code yet?

[latent citrus]

wait for the 20th, or check your code redemption on bungie net

[wild osprey]

Alright thanks!

[teal matrix]

Im surprised this game came back tbh

[latent citrus]

course, those are my only bits of advice to knowing if you have one

[wild osprey]

Have you already gotten yours?

[latent citrus]

i refuse to answer :3

[wild osprey]

haha damn

If you suck bungie off you'll get a code

[kindred vigil]

@bungie yo

[shy flame]

She's a good girl, crazy about horses

[teal matrix]

Writing's on the wall if u can't tell. The game is cooked

[kindred vigil]

Why are u a furry now

[wild osprey]

Yea wtf

[shy flame]

What is that song its from lego rock band

[stone grail]

Been that for like a decade now

[latent citrus]

don’t let them stop you live your truth

[kindred vigil]

ok makes sense

[shy flame]

I forgot your jame again, but I am trying the basil hayden on the rocks rn king

[kindred vigil]

thanks for the large text

[shy flame]

Name

Oh my god.

[latent citrus]

y r u writing on the wall, bro we can see the marker in your hand

[teal matrix]

If this game fails which it likely will, I think Sony will make the smart decision and liquidate the company. They've done this to far more talented studios for far less

[kindred vigil]

I guess bro

[latent citrus]

aight

[teal matrix]

If yall havent followed the state of destiny 2, this will be a rude awakening lol

[latent citrus]

👍

[kindred vigil]

I play destiny 2 and then i take a break then I play destiny 2

[stone grail]

I'm Arc raiding so hard rn

[supple grove]

Ye the game is cooked in terms of reputation. They def need to pull a miracle

[kindred vigil]

the miracle is a fortnite collab trust me

[teal matrix]

Bungie doesn't have the kind of reputation they had post Halo 3 and I think people are finally realized that somethjng was wrong after reach

[stone grail]

cooked cooked fr fr fr doa concord 🤓

[latent citrus]

game seems neat, i really don’t like that the harvester event isn’t rewarding at all it seems like

also incredibly annoying to actually do

[teal matrix]

Has the game made any changes as per the actual fucking devs of the game and not the head management troglodytes

[supple bison]

I do find it funny people blamed Activision and microsoft for some of destiny's issues but turns out it was always just bungie

[latent citrus]

like that’s my only gripe besides the game not being for me

[shy flame]

God bless this Bluegrass state.

[teal matrix]

Yup. Activision kept the DLC cycle in check. When they had free reign it was evident how much they abused it

[wicked crater]

When are the keys gonna be sent for the playtest?

[kindred vigil]

Oct 20

[wicked crater]

Cheers

[latent citrus]

you can check your bungie code redemption also

[teal matrix]

D2 playercount is lower than curse when they were literally weeks away from pulling the plug 💀

[wicked crater]

On Redemption history?

[kindred vigil]

Those who curse 🧼

[supple bison]

Which one we getting? Slopathon or slop raiders?

[teal matrix]

Neither tbh

[latent citrus]

in the top right when you’re logged in, there’s a tab named “redeem codes”

if you click on your icon

[wicked crater]

I know that, but there are 3 other tabs after it lol

[latent citrus]

well if you only have 3 tabs atm that means you haven’t gotten anything yet

[wicked crater]

Code Redemption, Redemption History and Partner Rewards

[kindred vigil]

Id eat the fuck out of a pokemon if I was in the universe #freefood

regigigas meat ✌️😂

[teal matrix]

Without that hash I would have suggested vaporeon

[kindred vigil]

we are not bringing back the Vaporeon stuff

we can NOT bring that to 2025 ✌️

[teal matrix]

What about 2026

[small ledge]

did bungie publicly execute the dude who broke the NDA?

[kindred vigil]

I guess

I didn't know that happened

[teal matrix]

Me neither

[kindred vigil]

Unless you mean the Paul tassi incident

[small ledge]

seems like someone leaked stuff about the new alpha

[kindred vigil]

#uhoh 😨😨

[teal matrix]

I thought they dropped the nda a while back. And eho tf gonna find out the whole 5 people who follow this game 💀

[small ledge]

it would be kinda dumb to not make it NDA

the main mistake was dropping the NDA in the last day lol

[stone grail]

Do the base guns in arc really need to be this ass

[teal matrix]

Maybe but either way the news would have come out about how mid the game is, mismanagement and ignoring dev concerns (bungie moment) and plagiarism

[small ledge]

if they didnt learn the lesson with the failure of the first alpha oh man

[formal temple]

you will use the 10 round AR and you WILL like it

[stone grail]

It's also just a peashooter

Either that or the flying drones health is way too high idk which is worse

[teal matrix]

Bungie learning lessons 😂 😂 😂 bro they havent learned their lessons after over a decade of destiny

[rich breach]

spht compiler in the alpha perchance

[tropic creek]

Just aim for the 4 engines around it

[supple bison]

Drone health is fine, it's meant to actually be a threat unlike the bots in marathon that just stand around

[stone grail]

If only the dogwater tutorial could have told me that instead of railroading me in boring 5 minutes mission

[rich breach]

was it that burst dmr or the dmr that took heavy bullets

[stone grail]

The base gun

[rich breach]

oh

[stone grail]

If they only are a threat because the base gun sucks then they aren't one

[rich breach]

yeah to kill those drones it took like 20 bullets u just need to hit ur shots

[small ledge]

y'all expecting too much for a game built on unreal engine 5

[stone grail]

LOL

[teal matrix]

Ue5 is ass this is true

[supple bison]

They're a threat because they actually do real damage lol

[tropic creek]

Last round i killed 2 people just to get shot from behind from some french dude laughing his ass off

[stone grail]

Didn't notice cuz their ai was awful and they were starring instead of shooting

[small ledge]

if i had to bet, shaders will compile everytime you open and join a lobby right?

[stone grail]

And when they shot they missed and then died, cool AI

[supple bison]

Sounds like the marathon robots

[small ledge]

and raytracing+lumen is on by default

[rich breach]

why did the uesc commanders have more armor then a tank lowkey

[stone grail]

I will be the judge of that once i get my hand on the game

[supple bison]

Already played it, definitely worse compared to arcs ai by a mile

[teal matrix]

Lumen and nanite are the issue with ue5, shader compilation is once for most engines first startup and driver update

[supple bison]

But we'll see with the new play test if it's changed

[visual garnet]

release date 2069

[final mauve]

Ue5 is a fine engine the defaults are what sucks lel

[teal matrix]

Also Bungie AI hasn't been good since Reach so

[rich breach]

the ai of the new pve enemies was okay it was just the grenadiers and the ai when ur invis was weird

[small ledge]

i wouldnt be complaining about shaders but that dogcrap engine will keep compiling them every time you start the game

one infamous example is stalker 2

[final mauve]

Its not a bad engine, again😅
People do not optimize it at all and move from defaults

[teal matrix]

To a degree this is true but the way it was designed is actually an issue, I do have examples

[small ledge]

UE5 its the main issue + mediocre devs

[final mauve]

Devs who dont actually care

They do it for quick buck experience and move on in the AAA scene

[small ledge]

the engine is extremely bloated with the fad that is ultra mega realistic lightning and textures

[final mauve]

That’s a dev choice

[small ledge]

its on by default

[final mauve]

Yeah and who can change defaults🫠

[rich breach]

would u say frostbite is better then ue5 or nah

[teal matrix]

No its actually not a dev choice. This was hard coded decisions by lead ue5 designers

[small ledge]

being ON by default its worse

[teal matrix]

100%

[final mauve]

I mean yeah

[final mauve]

You can choose to change or leave defaults.

[teal matrix]

Problem with frostbite though is most of the oldheads who could make the most of it in bc2 days are gone

[small ledge]

BF6 engine is what an engine should be now

[supple bison]

Do we prefer the ue5 slop or uninspired tiger engine

[final mauve]

Tiger is just a modified Blam

[rich breach]

ima be fr i only know frosbite exists because of bf6 and gw2 lol

[small ledge]

hell you can even play it on GTX cards without downgrading visuals that much

[teal matrix]

https://youtu.be/Ls4QS3F8rJU?si=Xwt2YkAFuWZEM7Od

[teal matrix]

Tiger wants to be blam but never will with all the oldheads gone. 343 ran into this issue with their so called slipspace

[small ledge]

UE5 is a psyops so people buy more overpriced graphics cards

[teal matrix]

I would agree if it actually ran good on a 5090

[supple bison]

So thats why they had to sunset the whole red war arc

[small ledge]

it runs well if you just fully throttle the dlss slider

but that means a lot of input lag and ghosting

and also very ugly textures and over saturated visuals

but now people likes to slurp that kind of slop for 70 bucks lol

[teal matrix]

Nah they sunset it cuz they lazy and had to "minimize overdelivery" keep in mind forsaken which is also old was carried forward into the 2020 engine changes and of course old raids and areas were brought back. They are flat out lying when they say it cannot come back

[small ledge]

i find funny how many people whines about red war and the other 2 mediocre DLC's (minus forsaken) being unplayable when they almost killed the game lol

[stone grail]

Objectively yes but it doesn't always matter that much

[final mauve]

Still a part of the story

[stone grail]

If you mean the very first iterations of DLSS and Frame gen i will agree tho

[teal matrix]

DLSS is good on like quality, ur thinking framegen with input lag tho dlss doesnt introduce inlut lag. I still think It shoudl be running natively at 4k tho

Framegen is pure garbo all around

[kindred vigil]

Okay I'm back what's happening

[stone grail]

Oh yeah don't use DLSS on anything other than quality, the visual loss isn't worth the tradeoff

[supple bison]

I mean thats still content they paid for, people made a big deal about the crew being shut down but I guess for destiny 2 it's allowed to just take away content to pay for slop like edge of fate

[small ledge]

they hardly matter to the lore at all, red war was a mess with a lot of wasted potential, curso of osiris is pure manure and warmind only highlight was rasputin's dialogue at the very end

[kindred vigil]

while I agree they still deserve to be part of a game since people paid 60$ and 20$ for both year 1 dlcs and 40-60$ for forsaken

[supple bison]

Not to mention that reduced the content for new players by like alot, it's not wonder they only have veterans

[kindred vigil]

While I like destiny I don't enjoy removed content being "new" content being something what people paid for

And as what jpeg said that is a lot of removed free content

[small ledge]

i wouldnt let a new light play red war

or CoO or warmind

[teal matrix]

The raid was good from black Armoury tho, and while crown wasnt great I certainly dont like it getting removed. Also destiny 2 only has 19 playable strikes as of now and somw of those are from d1 after nearly 8 years. In contrast destiny 1 has 17 playable in only 3 years

[final mauve]

Like me…plus seasonal shit ill never get back🫠🫠🫠

[kindred vigil]

Red war is a great introduction though wym

[small ledge]

those campaings would quickly drove them away from the game by sheer boredom

[kindred vigil]

It gets you into the flow of the game naturally even if the story sucks that's the point

[final mauve]

Red war is pretty important imo…

[kindred vigil]

New light just throws you in and after the introduction quests it's just "here figure it out'

[final mauve]

Using d1 nostalgia bait with the intro level

[supple bison]

Yea but now we have nothing for new players to even introduce them to the story, maybe if it was replaced with something new I would agree but they just left it as missions with no narrative

[small ledge]

lmao it wasnt, the only important thing was the light being "stolen" but you instantly get it back in one mission

[final mauve]

Yeah my friends dont play destiny because they dont feel like theyre actually a part of whats going on

[teal matrix]

I think they mean vs new light intro. Red War is at least coherent even if maybe not presented very well

[small ledge]

there was no world building asides of introducin the EDZ, the new light dialogue didnt even explain what the enemy races were doing

literally the first mission was only understandable if you played D1 which new players mostly didnt even touch or know about it

[teal matrix]

Yeah exactly. New light is not very good at introducing anything and does technically retcon some d1 stuff

[kindred vigil]

Yes, new light intro throws you in with barely any guidance and a overusage of blue tip tools, guardian ranks were a first good step but even then

You get told about what happened up to shadow keep them get thrown into the d1 intro

[final mauve]

I just play d1 instead😎

[teal matrix]

D1 is literally better its scary

[final mauve]

Its fucking peam

[supple bison]

I'm hoping the same doesn't happen with marathon in its seasons, having a section to recap the story as seasons go on can be good

[final mauve]

Sooo much better lel

[small ledge]

i could say that those campaings were horrible since that was the first stuff i played when i joined in arrivals, didnt understand a single thing and only understood what happened after i found out about byf

[kindred vigil]

well vanila d1 and post house of wolf d1 is 2 different d1's

[dark yoke]

I’m gonna be that guy and bring up a content creators point: they need to figure out the core gameplay loop before focusing on the NPE

[kindred vigil]

npe?

[final mauve]

That is true. Taken King marked a big change.

[dark yoke]

New player experience

[teal matrix]

True but in total the game is a much more enjoyable experience I think in the span of 3 years vs d2's 8

[small ledge]

cap

[teal matrix]

Bro 💀

I played since day 1 d1 blud

[small ledge]

you seriously think that the 2 years of d1 were enjoyable?

[teal matrix]

Yes absolutely.

[final mauve]

Yeah i gotta agree lel

[teal matrix]

It was fresh and there wasnt anything on the market like it

[small ledge]

they were at most amusing but enjoyable is a high bar

[latent citrus]

there was something to be enjoyed, but they were not any better than the state D2 is in currently

[small ledge]

mind you that year 1 was like lightfall

[final mauve]

Yeah Dark Bellow sucked but House of Wolves was fun and then Taken King was cream of the cake

[small ledge]

after the campaign and raid there was nothing to do

[teal matrix]

Yeah but thats the point. There was no noticeable improvement in d2 after all this time.

[final mauve]

Nightfalls and Crucible

[small ledge]

dark bellow was CoO tier

[kindred vigil]

Destiny does have that loop of

Bad dlc, mid dlc, good dlc that saves the game, then repeat huh

[small dust]

they still makign this game?

[small ledge]

house of wolfs was barely 3 or 4 missions

[small dust]

isnt the whole art style copyrighted lmao

[final mauve]

For d1 it goes. Bad, mid-good, good, mid-good

[small ledge]

the only thing worth playing that year was prison of elders

[final mauve]

Which ngl, still rocks

[small dust]

arent they getting sued

[teal matrix]

Yeah except the DLC was way cheaper and also the time between dlcs was like months vs years in d2's case

[latent citrus]

no they stopped cause u asked

[kindred vigil]

For d2 for my opinion I think it's

mid, dogshit, mid-good, good, mid, great, mid-bad, then peakables, then abysmally mid, then ???

[final mauve]

I agree

[small ledge]

only because DLC's were made ahead of time, dark bellow was an example

[final mauve]

Cant believe i endured ALL of that shit

[latent citrus]

warmind was good :(

[small dust]

oh well rip, the pr is cooked for this game

[final mauve]

Jesus, no wonder I wanna play anything but destiny sometimes

[teal matrix]

I hate to break it to you but that is literally true for the majority of d2's content as well

[kindred vigil]

Yes that's the "mid-good"d

[small ledge]

uh yeah because CoO and warmind were done before the game's launch

you should know this because both DLC's followed the same formula of D1's 2 DLC's (they fixed nothing)

[kindred vigil]

Crow

ok we ALL agree destiny rising gacha is better than BOTH destiny's combined ✌️😂

[small ledge]

only after warmind they started making stuff like forsaken

[teal matrix]

Yeah, except I mean that said content was supposed to be in destiny's supercut. D2 also had the random rolls issue until forsaken so there was that too and the raids were worse

[small ledge]

its a good game but not even touching D1 D2

[kindred vigil]

do u not want to pay 400$ for a character

[small ledge]

like i said, same formula

[final mauve]

Oh look its Kabr- aaaand its gonna make me pay

[teal matrix]

Rising is actually generous there is no 50/50

[small ledge]

but spire of stars wasnt bad

[latent citrus]

:(

I mean I've spent that on warframe

[small ledge]

leviathan was mediocre at best, eater of worlds was D1 crota's end tier

[kindred vigil]

Yeah I got all my destiny rising mythical pulls in like 1-10 pulls

[kindred vigil]

Well digital extremes puts that money into well earned things

[latent citrus]

tru

[teal matrix]

Same formula yes but again they pulled the same thing a second time and d2 was worse off than the same period of time in d1

[small ledge]

both were in a rough spot

[kindred vigil]

when is old peace dropping ✌️

[latent citrus]

think they're the main reason I still have hope for some games

[small ledge]

you're just blinded by nostalgia thinking D1 was any better than now

[teal matrix]

Curse playercounts were so low that they were weeks away from pulling the plug on d2

[small ledge]

the game started being playable at taken king just like forsaken

[teal matrix]

Any better than now??? 8 years of garbage you mean?

[small ledge]

so forsaken, witch queen and final shape are garbage?

take off those rose tinted glasses dude

[teal matrix]

This is a false equivalency because again d1 didnt have the random roll issue and it was new on the market as a concept

[latent citrus]

you keep saying this, but isn't that just the title of some click bait article

[kindred vigil]

No it's actually true

[small ledge]

for once it was true

[latent citrus]

huh

[kindred vigil]

Games not pulling in new players it's just a bunch of vets

[small ledge]

how do you know that

[teal matrix]

Those are good DLCs but you miss my point again. Forsaken was the same time period but Witch queen was after the period of 3 years of d1, and final shape being good is debatable but either way it is also way over the 3 years of d1

[kindred vigil]

There's a website that gives a dedicated view to all of this

1 sec

[tropic creek]

Neeyth about to drop a virus on us

[kindred vigil]

https://popularity.report/

Genuinely interesting

[supple bison]

So destiny 1 remaster when

[small ledge]

what's your point? D1 wasnt any better, the only god tier dlc was the taken king

[kindred vigil]

Control is d2 most played activity which is wild (of the dlc cycle so far)

[small ledge]

FYI rise of iron at the time of launch and after launch was seen as a "good" dlc

[latent citrus]

I mean pvp being rarely changed means it's got one of the few decent gameplay loops

[small ledge]

its just people having a nostalgia trip from SIVA aesthetic and the raid

[teal matrix]

My point is exactly that, if d2 isn't any better after after the equivalent time of the 3 years and further even to now, what does that say about that game

[small ledge]

which was the saving point of that dlc

[kindred vigil]

Except when the meta sucks booty 💔

[latent citrus]

real

[teal matrix]

It is a good DLC. The raid was good too so idk what ur on about

[latent citrus]

but people like shooting peopel anyway

[small ledge]

it was "good" the story wasnt anything revolutionary

[teal matrix]

D2's story has never really been revolutionary lmao

[small ledge]

it boils down to: i want revenge> fallen again but red> this thing is bad destroy it>take this weapon

[latent citrus]

I mean I feel like the story was good, it was a solid conflict that had half way decent closure

[kindred vigil]

ok I admit it I just love the iron lords ok💔💔💔💔

[final mauve]

I miss variks 🥺

[small ledge]

yeah the conflict was veeeery mediocre, a dlc about a warmind tech and rasputin not even on screen

[kindred vigil]

The fact he got sidelined for fucking 5 years until episode revenant (and plunder I think) is lwk nuts

[teal matrix]

Damn sounds like forsaken. I want revenge > fallen but dark > this man bad > destroy it

[latent citrus]

yeah but we could call starwars just trying to deliver a package if we really want to be simplifying things so

[brittle river]

i dont think he was part of plunder outside the opening

[latent citrus]

Ups in space

[kindred vigil]

ok thought so cuz I feel like I don't remember him from plunder but I also remember they brought back the fallen fan favs in that season

[small ledge]

the difference being that there was more stakes in forsaken than rise of iron

[teal matrix]

What fuckin stakes lmao

[latent citrus]

I mean rasputin isn't ever "on screen" if we're not counting siva as a extension of him

[teal matrix]

SIVA cooked the majority of the iron lords and u really think some troglodyte fallen have any chance against guardians

[kindred vigil]

Rasputin only got on screen in like 3 seasons

and 1 dlc

[small ledge]

uhh idk, a taken wish dragon was about to be freed and cause another colapse if not confronted because it commanded the taken?
