raven lotus
#

with BD he's a fully sentinet being that knows what he's doing

#

but with Nix, he's just a dog

viral tusk
#

I mean I talk to my cat the same way

raven lotus
#

thats fair

#

But it still sounds weird

viral tusk
#

yeah

neat crown
#

They nailed the soundtrack

raven lotus
#

Talking with BD or Chewie, their both fully sentient beings and despite us not understanding them, its implied everywhere that their speaking sentences and know whats happening

#

With Nix it feels like talking to a dog and it just woofing in response

#

sure its cute and its fun, if you're the person doing it

#

watching it just doesn't feel right

#

Aswell

#

A LOT of it has to do with story

#

With Cal in Fallen order we see the history of how they meet and how Cal is used to talking with his fellow shipbreakers, and simply talks with BD as a coping mechanism and a way to pass the time

#

in this we have no context of their relationship outside owner and pet or what their emotional connection is

neat crown
#

Ehhh

viral tusk
#

Also it's adorable and marketable

#

And I want 3

neat crown
#

I just see a Star Wars game I am actually looking forward

#

Looked fun and the feeling was giving me old Wars vibes

raven lotus
#

oh it does look great

#

I was just giving my view on what murgs said about it feeling less natural then with Cal and BD

#

But Kay has sold herself as a terrific protag

#

Especially with the droid

#

It seems like a fun dynamic

#

were instead of playing the reserved one, you're now playing the reckless one

#

though

#

the only big worry i have

#

Is the gunplay

#

It doesn't feel impactful

#

like in Survivor when you shot someone its BAM, they recoil and you see the impact

#

with this it felt just like wet cheese

#

oooooh

#

niceee

#

Thats really cool

#

i love that detail

#

Its set between E5 and E6

#

But yeah games announced

#

-Star wars(Looks unique)
-Avatar(Farcry in space)
-Crew 3(standard racing game)
-AC Mirage(Proper AC)
-AC jade, nexus
-Prince of Persia
-DLC for Rabbids

viral tusk
#

Speaking of Survivor has that been patched up yet?

raven lotus
#

Unsure, i played it at launch

viral tusk
#

Nope doesnt seem so

raven lotus
#

it ran fine enough though

viral tusk
#

For you. That's the fun part with PC games

raven lotus
#

Still don't like the ship

#

I'm going to rail on that because its such a missed opportunity to make a unique and recognizable ship

#

but they just chose... brick

viral tusk
#

For outlaw or Survivor? Cause the Mantis in the first game was neat

raven lotus
#

for Outlaw

#

Survivor has the Mantis back

viral tusk
#

Okay. Thank god. I'd be upset if they dropped the mantis

raven lotus
#

You can't customize it like you could in Fallen Order though

viral tusk
#

That's fine. Sad but fine

#

Also about 10 min on wildlands

raven lotus
#

customization of Cal, weapons and BD make it great though

#

3 hours

viral tusk
#

OOF

raven lotus
#

yeah

#

don;t wait on me

viral tusk
#

Double oof cause survivors is damn near 150GB

raven lotus
#

probably like, 7-8 i'll be around

#

its smaller

#

Its like 128?

viral tusk
#

Ah. Was just looking at the system reqs

raven lotus
#

@cunning forum you'll definitely like Outlaw

cunning forum
#

Outlaw?

raven lotus
#

Star Wars Outlaw

raven lotus

Not off to a good start

#

Repeat trailer from Xboxd

#

Everything in one game for megaman?

mystic hamlet
#

Pragmata looks interesting.

raven lotus
#

Ghost Trick looks dope

mystic hamlet
#

It's a fun game.

viral tusk
#

Psst. Cryo is re-streaming the showcase if you wanted to be able to watch there

#

Also just a reminder. This is basically the preshow. Main show will be the last half hour ish

mystic hamlet
#

This is the main show. The preshow was the 30 minutes before this.

cunning forum
#

maybe people wanna rewatch the preshow.

raven lotus
#

@feral rain exoprimal stuff

feral rain
#

Verry eepy

#

Just slide the post/trailer about it into my dms

#

Goodnight

raven lotus
#

feral rain
viral tusk
#

Huh. That's not how it's listed on Steam

raven lotus
#

not how whats listeD?

viral tusk
#

The show itself.

#

The news listing was showing it as starting at 6pm. With a 1.5 hour runtim and the main showing being about 40 minutes at the end

raven lotus
#

No monster hunter

#

#

Disappointing

viral tusk
#

Capcom is now dead to me

#

That Dragons Dogma 2 section said basically nothing

still valley
#

alright no more dogma 2 for murgle

raven lotus
#

What about furry bait

viral tusk
#

2 things we're carrying over from the first game are the single player with pawns and being an open world action rpg. NO SHIT

somber abyss
#

i think the exoprimal people were listening and put in non player vs player fighting modes

raven lotus
#

Oh they already announced that

somber abyss
#

im aware but i saw no one putting it up here or talking about it so im doing it

hasty sentinel
#

Cause they made it into PvP nonsense with a giant monster everyone has to kill

shrewd holly
#

I absolutely did not get “EDF-like” from the previous Exoprimal trailers so that was a surprise

raven lotus
#

the batshit insane plot did it

somber abyss
#

my impression from it all was mechsuit whatever that other dino horde game was

raven lotus
#

i want to also applaud and make sure exoprimal gets the recognition for the sheer stupid, stupid stupid genious

#

of making the mythical all powerful sci-fi power source just YOUNG OIL

shrewd holly
#

it was very much Mechsuit MonHun in the other trailers

raven lotus
#

because the plot and trying to find that energy source

#

ITS OIL

somber abyss
#

i didnt even watch the story one cause i couldnt care less about story just blasting dinos

raven lotus
#

its worth watching

somber abyss
#

second extinction thats the game i was thinking of

#

mechsuit/second extinction

raven lotus
#

for the comedic genius and loops they go through to justify they aren't harvesting oil but instead its this super cool sci fi power source

somber abyss
#

is it dino blood

raven lotus
#

Whichm becomes oil after time

#

But second extinction sucks ass

somber abyss
#

i was guess for shits and giggles cause thats my fuel source for blastin dinos

raven lotus
#

its been abandoned

somber abyss
#

its still a closer comparision to someone saying monster hunter

hasty sentinel
#

Is that the one I'm thinking of that was PvPvE?

somber abyss
raven lotus
#

No

#

that was Exoprimal

#

But that was before they revealed the campaign

#

and before they added PvE to the multiplayer

somber abyss
#

so does that mean there are potiential players again here

raven lotus
#

Exinus is getting it

#

I'd be willing to give it a shot

#

its on gamepass

somber abyss
#

now to confirm if steam players can play with weegy

raven lotus
#

Yup

#

full crossplay

somber abyss
#

alright i will attempt to get it so there are 3 of us

fickle zealot
#

wait exoprimal is gonna add pure pve?

#

hurray!

#

I enjoyed it when I played the public test on steam but the whole "oh and there's pvp at the end" was kind of a bummer

raven lotus
somber abyss
#

ima just wait till the full release i definely want to be insane and figure out how to control dinos and just yank one out of existance

And are also berries.

Okay…. So what is a berry then?

onyx maple
#

Strawberries are not berries (but the "seeds" are)

cunning forum
#

I give up.

onyx maple
#

The strawberry is what is known as an accessory fruit.

#

Also, a tomato is a berry.

…. But it’s a veggie.

A cucumber is also a berry.

Of course. I reversed it.

Stupid me.

onyx maple
#

It does not matter if it is a vegetable or a fruit, in terms of culinary differentiation, only that it has its seeds on the inside when it is a seeded variant.
If it only comes in seedless variants, such as potato, or the seeded variants always have the seeds on the outside, then it is not a berry.

im more annoyed now cause i can no longer pull up the normal options thing when you right click doesnt happen anymore

tight ibex
#

So looking at Coreborn

#

IT's basically designed for group play, solo play is going to be a worse experience.

#

Town building isn't bad and it's a "wave hand at bush" simulator for a while

#

Combat seems to be timing your hits so you can avoid attacks. It's slow, but workable.

#

TBH? It might be fun as a server thing when it comes out properly. It's not even based on concurrent play, so we can have a bunch of people hop in and out as they wish.

tight ibex
#

I could definitely see grabbing people to do a group play if needed, since I have a character with some tools I can be the lodestone that drags people in

Since if you join a different world you lose all your stuff.
