No piracy talk, eh? leo

placid mica
#

not really

#

pc game deals are much better and gamepass is on pc aswell (generally for pretty cheap on keysites)

quasi thicket
#

The difference between 556 at launch and 500yd is a velocity drop oof over 1700fps and a net energy loss of nearly 1000ft.lb of energy

Comparitively the 6.8 goes from 2460fps to 1524fps
And delivers twice as much energy to the target at 500yd

placid mica
#
  • no pay for multiplayer access
#

in a way its good tbh

quasi thicket
#

Additionally 6.8mm penetrates armor better than 556

placid mica
#

because you could just have unlimited alt accs and bypass bans from private servers pretty easily

#

or just bans ingeneral

quasi thicket
#

Where 556 can be stopped with ballistic fiber, 6.8 has better performance vs ballistic plates

placid mica
#

ye

onyx edge

quasi thicket
#

9mm also loses veloxity quicker than 6.8mm and 7.92 mauser

placid mica
#

and i have a much larger and cheaper access to a lot more games

quasi thicket
#

Mass of the round isnt the only factor

onyx edge
placid mica
#

you spend 100 per year on just multiplayer access alone and initial cost of consoles is like 400 on a good day

quasi thicket
#

Ook kid

#

Just stay mad

placid mica
#

so you just end up spending 400 purely on multiplayer access in the span of 4 years

#

Do anybody have suggestions for FPS games I can play? This gaming generation has to be the worst.

onyx edge
quasi thicket
#

I proved you wrong with tech data sorry

placid mica
#

and then your console becomes old gen

#

and you need a new one

quasi thicket
#

Absolutely not

#

Basic physics

digital schooner
#

Seeing a lotta numbers lately and it’s starting to make me afraid

quasi thicket
#

These arent vaguely equivalent

placid mica
#

not as much as much

digital schooner
#

Some pretty big numbers

placid mica
#

you can adjust settings in a lot of games

quasi thicket
#

I derived the physics distance equation from memory

placid mica
#

and you have like millions of games to play on mid end systems alone

digital schooner
#

Oh no this is why i was afraid

placid mica
#

you cant really run out of games to play

quasi thicket
#

I had to go get you a picture so youd understand

placid mica
#

i played on a 4gb gpu for like 8 years

onyx edge
quasi thicket
#

From the moment a bullet leaves the barrel of a gun the minimum distance of drop will be .5at^2 any additional drop is from drag

#

But even in vacuum the drop will be basic ballistic trajectory

placid mica
quasi thicket
#

And that's how battlefield 2042 governs bullet drop

placid mica
#

and games being much more expensive

quasi thicket
#

No battlefield takes wind and drag into account

placid mica
#

steam sales and a lot of key sites offer much better prices on pc games than on consoles

quasi thicket
#

If you want that crazy you'll need a specifically sniper game

chrome egret
quasi thicket
#

I think the dedicated sniper games might do some windage stuff

placid mica
#

i dont think a lot of people would hassle with it though

onyx edge
#

But the starting entry (especially if you are a kid)

quasi thicket
#

Battlefield doesnt. They do rifle sway at most

placid mica
#

but possible sure

#

idk about that

#

i cant vision it being a very known thing

onyx edge
placid mica
#

anecdotal then

#

i never understood how that worked tbh

willow kayak
#

It's insane actually

placid mica
#

idk the entire economy is really messed up everywhere rn

onyx edge
#

So sad to see abuse from people who could afford but want it cheaper mess it up for them

placid mica

love living in economical crisis

#

people are scraping by month by month pretty much

Less desirable ones, yes

#

ive thought about learning about investing into coins and whatnot

#

i have a friend who has made some pretty crazy money

#

but idk it bamboozles my brain too much

#

you need to be very active with it

willow kayak
#

Can't be trusted

placid mica
#

i remember rizzmas coin blowing up like crazy on christmas

onyx edge
#

Just dont, you better off working in a thrift store

#

Its like the casino, eventually they win

placid mica
#

if you actually learn the markets and keep an eye on media it can be a pretty good way to make money but its pretty difficult

willow kayak
#

I think about him to this day

#

True

onyx edge
#

Old people been trough it all

placid mica
#

investing is a very "effortless way" of making money

#

so its not a bad thing to look into

He* stoopid phone

placid mica
#

i know people that are super nerdy about it they just constantly look on reddit and twitter for market info and just 24/7 eye on coins

willow kayak

You are half a decade behind us, sir

Btc are sustainable invest compared to new crypto that are top in a day and -999% next day

willow kayak

#

ye thats why you need to eye on media a lot

placid mica

#

Media will not tell you to buy or sell

#

By that time it too late

When you are not 100% certain its a gamble

humble wharf

#

Luck isn't consistent
And can't be turned into consistent profit
Studying the market and knowing what you doing

placid mica

Don't see the money you are "investing" as digits, but as hours of your life

placid mica

and then just scroll

humble wharf

Oh thats why lmao

Went to server browser, looked up operations and theres 1 server with people in it

I saw the scenario many times
A new coin

I love downloading bf4 to try and work towards the ucav and there’s just always somehow the people that haven’t stopped playing the game since 2013 that just sacks me immediately off of spawn so cool

Scored a $120 air fryer for $25.

thorny magnet

Holy fucking shit based………….

leaden kestrel

I once had one so I know it’s good.

#

Can fit a whole rotisserie chicken in it.

thorny magnet

Once I too own a air fryer

#

But that was long ago

leaden kestrel

And it doesn’t emit smoke like my old one.

patent quail
#

what's the capacity leo

leaden kestrel
#

The cheapo ones are bad.

thorny magnet
#

They said a $120 air fryer for $25

#

That is insane

leaden kestrel

The one I got is a 5.8 quart.

#

The cheapo ones are 2 quart.

patent quail
leaden kestrel

Nah. I looked for a whole week.

For the same capacity, you’re looking at $70 minimum.

oh 5.5L WoahThink

Indeed.

Even for a Facebook Marketplace air fryer, it’s a very good deal.

with homemade it's actually fresh keanu

#

HUHDOG wraps?

those are insanely easy to do at home

atleast get something like shawarma which you can't as easily do at home LUL

#

frogconcern but the price they ask for them..

Pre 2019 prices

patent quail

#

Thought you said omani rial

#

Make that Arabic dolla dolla bill

patent quail
#

they charge £6 on average for them here

#

which is like $8-9

placid mica
#

Fast food is insanely overpriced here

#

A small burger costs like 11 euros with like a small patch of fries lol

thorny magnet
#

I don’t think it’s the same thing.

#

Wait

#

Don’t say anything

#

Because I see what you meant now

#

So don’t speak

#

Not a word

#

Thank you

patent quail
#

leo was nice chatting with you lads

placid mica
#

Even local is pretty expensive

#

Like larger kebab/wraps/tacos costs 10 euros

#

Could make multiple for that money

thorny magnet
#

Local is even more expensive

placid mica

Wtf

I love shawarmas

Pickle??!

Ye

placid mica

But when you think about it its super easy to make a good wrap

For pretty cheap

Multiple even

#

Jar of pickles is usually pretty cheap or you can just pickle cucumbers yourself

Theres pretty good garlic sauces instores

#

Some well seasoned meat and salad and you can make tons

Hola

#

Hi

rustic pewter
#

Only during the day its OK for me i wait for the new bf

#

And Hope this time whit good destruction and normal Ping stuff not this trash like Most Bf that you are behing a Wall on your Screen and still get shoot and die and that whit a 15 Ping :/

#

Mario Kart Network coding legit thats Bf in a nutshell

humble wharf
#

Whats the point of quickplay if it just puts me in the same shitty bolt action rifle gamemode in bf1?

rustic pewter
#

Does anyone play that still i dont think so

#

I think even Bf 4 has more players

humble wharf
#

Some dude earlier told me the servers were not dead. That was infact a lie lmao

rustic pewter
#

Its lame

humble wharf
#

Either the servers have 300+ ping, 0 players, or its ballroom blitz.

#

How to make fancy Ghostmaker Kills whit paic in the smoke

#

If they legit Just stand there and do nothing nahh thats lame

#

I dont Play at all whit bots

#

If i See bots are in game i leave

#

Not only that they are bad Programmed its total disatvantage to have them or boring to have them in the enemy team

#

No i Just wanna have competition

#

And bots are bad in this game

#

Bf Bots where Always bad

#

Its nothing new

#

And its ok

#

Its not to Put Ressources into that Changes the fact that ai / Bots cant make good decisions in a fight

#

They never will

#

And who Starts Bf to Play against Bots xd

#

Then you dont wanna have a Shooter feeling at all

quasi thicket
#

i'd rather have ok bots in multiplayer than good bots in a prescripted campaign mode that are the same every time

#

cause it's harder to have multiplayer bots than pre scripted story mode bots that do one basic thing

humble wharf
#

The game doesnt have enough battlepasses or niki manaj skins for him

rustic pewter
#

Well the last battleplass is ugly

#

Robots are ugly 😄

#

Not If they have nice skins

#

But these Robots looking ugly so not buying it

#

If you mean

#

Last time was pretty Solid i did liked a few of the skins

#

And you dont have to buy them

#

And what does have other Bf or other Games before for skins

#

Xd

#

Yeah not much or nothing

#

So what did you expext If the Put extra content in there that its for free

#

Its every Game

#

Like dlcs

#

So get some logic

#

Dice only make the destruction engine

#

You should inform yourself more

#

Bye

#

Legit thinking that you pay 50 Bugs and after years the Patch free stuff i to it for nothing or what lost are you

#

You should get a job instead

#

Then you wont cry about 9 Bugs that you not even have to pay in a game

#

Like no one is forcing you anyway

#

Dat logic

#

I'd like to do the hazard zone related achievements sometime for BF2042. But I was wondering how feasible this even is anymore at this point in time. I've waited in queue for a half hour and only 1 or 2 people joined the server, so it seems unlikely to (often) fill up anymore.

#

or are there moments where hazard zone is still actively played?

jade valve
#

Kinda makes me wish they would just allow starting it up with bots.

rustic pewter
#

But yeah at like 11pm here you dont really have to start a game anymore

#

At least my place

jade valve
#

I didn't really check the exact time. Mostly just curious how feasible this is in 2025.

#

Since I've kinda worked my way through all the other BF games starting at 3

#

(and ignoring hardline, since those achievements are beyond stupid)

rustic pewter
#

Yeah but to be fair Bf 2042 is already old now

#

Its not like its really new at this point

jade valve
#

eh "old" is kinda relative in my book

rustic pewter
#

For a Shooter

pine otter
#

Ok hear me out

Who would like a Vietnam? DLC in battlefield 6

because i gotta inch to drop Napom bombs in the jungle

jade valve
#

BF3 from 2011 is more feasible than this it seems.

rustic pewter
#

And whit a bad start

weak aspen
#

I think it will be like titanfall sooon

jade valve
#

BF3 you could actually consider "old"

#

Yeah

#

BF3, 4, I and V are all quite active still.

lilac forge
#

Bf4 and 3 has very low playerbase

jade valve
#

BF3 might not seem like it initially, but it has a lot of very dedicated players

lilac forge
#

1 and V have 10 times more playerbase

jade valve
#

BF2042 seems more active than it really is because of the bots.

#

BFV is all right, even though it also struggles to fill up certain gamemodes.

rustic pewter
#

Average Players around 1500 Last 30 days Bf 4

#

Yeah thats dead

Idk, if they enjoy the game, I don't see the issue with it.

I have a lot of good memories of BF3

#

And of BF4

worn yew
#

ew battlepasses

#

😭

rustic pewter
#

Probably couse you dont have Job and cant afford other titles anyway If you already crying about battlepasses

jade valve
#

I've got no issue affording any of it either (I've got like 850 games or so at this point) but sometimes it's fun to play older titles.

#

Since new does not mean better

#

unless you think that how good something is is directly based on how new it is.

rustic pewter
#

Yeah makes it more belivable xd

worn yew
#

so abysmal

jade valve
#

Some of the most fun I've had in gaming were these older indie titles.

rustic pewter
#

And you expect that a old Games get content for free

#

Yeah dream wider

jade valve
#

What?

rustic pewter
#

Then ask the CEO If they would Put Money into youre free shit

jade valve
#

I've never understood people's obsession with skins in a game where you can't see it during normal gameplay anyways.

rustic pewter
#

Doubt they will do it

jade valve
#

Honestly, some "old" games get tons of content, which I'm pretty thankful for.

#

Like actual content.

#

AoE2 is gonna get some massive updates soon, kinda looking forward to that.

worn yew
#

me too

jade valve
#

Despite the game it's based on being like 30 years old

worn yew
#

team fortress 2 was so worth it and still is.

jade valve
#

The update they are going to push for age of empires 2 is gonna have a crazy amount of stuff. Like a lot of really nice visual reworks, 5 new civilizations, etc.

#

New campaigns

#

Not just skins

#

5090 is a waste of money

#

With fake frames

#

5090 is good but money to raw perfomance 💩

jade valve
#

Depends on what you call a waste of money. Maybe if you really value it

#

But it's well into diminishing returns territory.

arctic relic
#

just installed bf4 uhh it's stuck on the punkbuster install script...

jade valve
#

I'm good with my 7900XTX (especially since I use linux mostly, where nvidia cards are absolute hot garbage)

#

I only have 1 complaint with my current PC, but it is mostly because of a design choice I made, haha.

#

I chose to make it this low profile SFF PC

#

Hahaha

#

My case is like... REALLY small

#

lemme check what mine is again

#

FormD T1

#

yeah, it truly is very compact

#

and gets very hot, haha

#

So much that I have manually downclocked o nwindows

#

Since the windows drivers for AMD don't seem to handle it well

#

idk what my resolution would be called

arctic relic
#

installed the things and still stuck?

jade valve
#

It's 5120x1440

#

x)

#

I mean, it is a very nice screen

#

Runs at very high fps as well

#

240hz

#

1ms response time

#

So I'm not complaining

arctic relic
#

wdym

lilac forge
#

I am playing last of us. It's a visual masterpiece 🔥

jade valve
#

haha, I see yeah

#

maybe if I move in with my gf soon and get a diffrent appartment, I might do something like that as well

#

But I might just get an entirely new PC in that case

#

As I'm also a software dev

#

And I'm not gonna be doing that on a big TV

#

Idk if I care to get a 5090, I feel a lot of nvidia stuff is rather overhyped atm

#

Where it's an upgrade, but the money you have to throw at it is completely unreasonable.

#

When I think of my experiences with nvidia in the past decade, I don't really want to pay a cent to them.

#

They are a super corrosive company within the software development space.

#

So I refuse to support that.

#

They are very well summed up as "embrace, extend, and extinguish"

#

They have for decades been one of the most actively hostile companies as well towards open source software.

#

So I really hate them and believe they shouldn't have the value they do

#

I see yeah

#

Especially in the pre-vulkan/DX12 era, the drivers they published were also bizarre.

#

But that's a different story entirely. But not too dissimilar from how google handles web standards (where they support deprecated stuff in a non-standard way to make it seem their competition performs substandard)

#

I'm mostly referring to google chrome here

#

Same

#

iirc on youtube (which is also owned by google) they use some weird deprecated API's that other browsers don't really support/update very actively anymore.

#

Intentionally

#

And then hyperoptimize them on google chrome to work perfectly for youtube.

#

yeah

#

My high privacy profile doesn't work well with youtube either

#

Sometimes just flat out makes the site refuse to load.

#

They REALLY want your personal data

#

And to show you ads

#

If they can't do that,they just refuse to work properly.

#

Google as a search engine is a bit of a dying product.

#

Not even entirely by their own fault

#

But rather because the internet has started to turn in a collection of walled gardens

#

So most information is exchanged in a way where they cannot crawl it

#

Reddit is one of the few exceptions, as in that it's a site that's still open, but it's certainly a rather biased source on almost anything

distant wagon
#

THEY ARE TRYING SEVERAL INDUSTRY PLANTS LIKE CHAPPELL ROAN, DOECHII, TATE EVERY FEW MONTHS TO TRY AND REPLACE THE ORIGINAL GOOD ARTIST LIKE TAYLOR SWIFT LADY GAGA AND SELENA @jade valve
@quaint wren

DO NOT FALL FOR IT. ITS ALL FORCED

jade valve
#

Basically everything else is hostile to web crawlers and require accounts to get in.

#

Yeh, this is is not what I'd call masterfully baiting.

#

But anyways

#

Even youtube's internal search is progressively getting worse

#

Even if you know the direct title of a video, you often wont be able to find what you are looking for.

#

But that may be intentional because they want you to consume more of the short form content

distant wagon
#

Ok then
battlefield 1 is a bad game only redditors like it because they project everything terrible in their lives on the games atmosphere what they refer as "immersion"

#

redditors love bf1 because its slow like um...

jade valve
#

I think my biggest issue with BFV is that it's very arcade-y to me

#

Like it genuinely feels like a COD game

distant wagon
#

yeah a game that awards reaction time and skill

#

old people have a slower reaction time

jade valve
#

Idk if I fully agree. 2042 generally seems to happen at a larger scale

#

Also the absence of quite literally perks and killstreaks x)

distant wagon
#

i think battlefield 6 should be as fast as bfv because if it is not fast then it would be boring

#

what kill streaks when was the last time you got rhe ac130 in cod

#

wow what a brave and unique take

jade valve
#

I'm kinda neutral about it. I went into it fully expecting to hate it, but but it's not that bad in its current state.

distant wagon
#

an actual take would be bf1 being the second worst with slow gameplay and map design

jade valve
#

When did you try it?

#

Since I heard it has massively changed over time

#

yeah

#

I heard it was hot garbage on release, but that nowadays it's fine for what it is.

#

I'm not sold on everything, to be clear.

distant wagon
#

better 2042 than drugs

jade valve
#

gilburt, has anyone ever told you that you are really unfunny?

#

Like I don't mean that I take any offense to whatever you are saying

distant wagon
#

i do t know how you deduce im being offensive when im not talking to you

jade valve
#

I don't deduce that.

#

I'm saying that I don't feel that way about it. Just that I think it's basically like an annoying child forcibly inserting himself into a conversation.

#

While trying to be funny

distant wagon
#

ok old man

#

New topic
phantom forces roblox

jade valve
#

I've not even tried the other things

distant wagon
#

how its a reskin it has the same mechanics

jade valve
#

Since I do not really care for it when games decide for me what map I'll be playing

#

To me, portal is really just a server browser.

#

I don't know if I feel there's particularly few

distant wagon
#

1 2042 map is as big as 2 battlefield 4 maps

jade valve
#

But some just feel very empty

#

like... why have a map that's 90% empty desert?

distant wagon
#

and portal

#

you can fit three siege of shangais in one orbital

#

bf4 had big bad maps

jade valve
#

Yeah, what I said, it's like a child forcibly inserting himself into a conversation while being very unfunny

#

From what I see online, it has 15 maps (BF2042, that is)

distant wagon
#

and what about the dam map

jade valve
#
  • Breakaway
  • Discarded
  • Exposure
  • Flashpoint
  • Haven

  • Spearhead
  • Stadium

I don't know how much that distinction matters to me

ok now a recipe for cheesecake plz

Saw that one too ,but it's missing maps

lilac forge
#

What's up with people and sending me links to their servers 🤣 if this one not active what makes you think your personal server for this game is 🤣

distant wagon
#

yeah not gonna click links

#

yea yeah yeah yeah yeah yeha yeah yeah yeah

lilac forge
#

The whole game was bunsss honestly

#

2042 hot garbage at best

jade valve
#

Something I don't really get with 2042 is why the bots were released in that state

lilac forge
#

Maps sucked most of the guns sucked they re used content for a reason

jade valve
#

They are... insanely dumb and annoying

lilac forge
#

Cash grab was all this game was

jade valve
#

I get their purpose, but the execution is just really bad

distant wagon
#

we will see cat ears 2 seasons in

jade valve
lilac forge
#

Squad is where it's at now ngl

distant wagon
#

you are no longer the market for the game

its the fortnite playerbase all game have cat ears now

#

not really

after gen z its gen alpha

#

alpha is z reskin

jade valve
#

Gen alpha cannot control computers.

#

So they are hardly anything to worry about

#

Zoomers already are less capable in that department than the generations before them

#

Alpha is genuinely technologically stunted.

lilac forge
#

I mean I was born in 99 and I can do just about anything with a computer I grew up with windows 98 and what not 😂

#

Didn't even know how to read and I could get into PDF files and such 😂

jade valve
#

You'd be almost as old as you can be for gen Z

#

So you aren't remotely as impacted as gen alpha (what are they, 12 years old?)

lilac forge
#

Technically I'm alpha 😭 tho

#

Nah

#

Look it up 😂

jade valve
#

Gen Z: 1997-2012
Gen Alpha: 2013-mid-2020s

#

Unless you are 12 years or younger, you are gen Z

#

You are an old zoomer, if you were born in 99

#

I'd believe gilburt to be gen alpha

distant wagon
#

you are an old person forcibly inserting himself into a conversation while being something

jade valve
#

Behaviour certainly screams 8 years old

distant wagon
#

i listen to laana del rey and play roblox

lilac forge
#

Either way we can all agree this game is bunss

#

He's only pretending to be

Portal shoulda been free honestly lol

distant wagon
#

do you think i should join another server send 940 messages under 5 hours? is that trolling

jade valve
#

I've certainly not paid for it

lilac forge
#

Considering it re uses old content and nothing but

jade valve
#

I'm not sure how that would make sense from the perspective of a game dev

jade valve
#

Well, almost all

Uhhh guys

I see my refund order said it has been resolved but i dont get money back

lilac forge
weak aspen
#

I dont see money on my visa account

jade valve
distant wagon
#

its too fast for him

jade valve
#

Caspian border has been in 3, 4 and 2042 for example

#

Wake Island has been in: 1942, vietnam, 2, 2142, heroes, 1943, online, bf3, bfV

#

Gulf of Oman has been in 2, P4F, 3, and 4

#

etc.

#

There's tons of examples of this

#

I'm sure karkand also has been in a bunch of games

#

What I mean to say is that they have been reusing maps for decades now, it's not really unique to portal

weak aspen
#

Uhh i get a refund confirmation mail but dont see any money back and BF2042 still in my library

weak aspen
#

You guys know what happen ?

jade valve
#

Also, did you uninstall it?

#

Since if it's still installed, that might be why

#

Restart steam and it might be gone as well

#

Hallo

#

Hallo

#

Hallo

jade valve
#

I feel like much of that wouldn't have fit at all stylistically

#

Half of the BF1 maps are rather historic European scenes or well... complete desolation of time appropriate stuff that makes no sense in the context of modern war.

#

Same sort of thing with BF5

#

They'd have to redesign them

#

in Battle of the Bulge's defense, that one is in Belgium

#

And Belgium simply looks like a bombed out place stuck in time nowadays

#

(just kidding, before people get angry)

#

At least to me, it's easier to ignore how old an open map like that looks, than a map where you are in a city with a lot of text everywere

#

And in some places it's arguably even a bit historically insensitive to just transplant it into the future.

#

Transplanting Rotterdam directly to the future would be bizarre, as it was one of the most destroyed cities in all of Europe during WW2, for example, while nowadays it would be a much more suitable scene for BF2042, hahaha

#

Are we?

#

I mean, most of the stuff in the games are hypothetical scenarios at best

#

Others are actual historic wars that barely do justice to what happened

#

I dunno where you are from. But I think if you live in one of these places it feels a bit different.

#

If you'd see Rotterdam in BFV for example, it looks pretty scenic

#

But it was a complete bloodbath as a show of power

#

That in 3 days reduced the entire city to rubble

#

To force a capitulation

#

I think that would be fairly pointless.

daring surge
#

Hi everyone

jade valve
#

That was a completely hypothetical scenario though

#

Not an actual historic event

#

Because it's tasteless to turn a historic event into a power trip

#

That's mostly why

#

To me that might be your bias as an American speaking.

#

A lot of Americans found the hypothetical in Wolfenstein 2 quite tasteless for example, since that hit a bit closer to home

#

Same, I have to re-play 2 again sometime, since I've not 100%'ed that one yet

#

Eh, maybe if the roles were reversed in the scenario compared to what you would usually be playing, maybe.

#

Like if the game was about mowing down American troops

#

yes

#

I'd like to see some more WW1 related games personally

#

It feels like it was a really unique war because it was the start of a more industrial approach to warfare.

#

Modern war stuf tends to feel a bit sterile and same-y to me

#

Historic war felt more distinct, since every country was kinda starting their war industry from scratch, so they came up with very different solutions

#

what makes you say that btw? I felt it was sort of... well normal wolfenstein.

#

I don't really care for the vietnam scenario

#

Was kind of a dumb war in the first place

#

ah, that part

inland summit
#

🥴

#

Oh I play bf4 errrrrday lol

jade valve
#

Tbh, it's not the first time zombies were in the series.

#

At least 2 other games before it have had them

#

RTCW and Wolfenstein (2009) both did iirc.

#

Or at least undead

#

Untote in RTCW and Despoiled in Wolfenstein, in case you are wondering about the specifics.

#

Kinda working my way through that one atm, haha

#

It's quite a different game compared to 2016 and Eternal

#

I heard Isonzo is pretty good

#

Idk, it's just slow to me.

#

It doesn't feel very doom-y, but as a horror shooter it's okay imo

#

Enemy placement is kinda stupid tho

#

And by default the light model is crap

#

Works way better with a mod to give it half-lambert lighting

#

It looks extremely good for the time it came out in

#

I played through doom 1 and 2 recently as well

#

They were all right, but overstayed their welcome with the DLC's.

#

Ah, that might have been my favourite.

#

Eternal was okay, but a arcade-y in some ways.

#

Which... might be what you want

#

But I didnt care too much for some of it

#

Also, eternals' DLC's....

#

Idk what can even be said about them besides that they were hot garbage on the highest difficulty

crystal ridge
#

while a few played the main game and then the dlc

jade valve
#

Yes

#

Ancient Gods I and II

crystal ridge
#

nvm yea i see what u mean i wqas talking about newish one

jade valve
#

idk what difficulty you played at

#

But some of the challenges were just shit

#

Ah now see

#

I beat it on nightmare as well

#

Some of the challenges were just... not fun

#

The slayer gate in the Holt was just fucking dumb, let's say it that way then x)

#

"hmm yes, let's wail on a double buffed marauder for 10 minutes without making any mistakes, while at the same time having other monsters spawn shields up your ass"

west halo
#

Is doom 2016 still on sale

#

On steam

jade valve
#

Probably, it's like 2 euros

west halo
#

Worth?

jade valve
#

yes

#

It's even worth the full price, lmao

#

It's a good game

#

This is that slayer gate I meant

west halo
jade valve
#

That slayer gate is absolutely braindead game design

#

Yeah, the soundtrack is great

#

Though the game's "awareness" for how suitable a track is, is sometimes lacking

#

Like barely any music happens during an intenase fight x)

#

and then while you are exploring for some collectible BFG division will play, lmao

#

Rip and Tear is good too

#

Kinda hyped for Dark Ages

#

Deathcore from the sounds of it?

#

Generally I don't either, but this does sound like some -core-y stuff.

#

It's not quite my jam, but if you enjoy it, that's good ^^

#

idk what one would reasonably expect

#

I found it quite funny that the biggest peak of all time came from that Wukong game

#

I still have to play it sometime

#

Also quite funny how much western outlets were coping over it. Acting like it must have been botted since the player count dropped fairly soon after.

#

Why would it?

distant wagon
#

rabbit is talking here for an hour straight a part of a good troll too @quaint wren

jade valve
#

I think westerners fundamentally misunderstand how obnoxiously massive the Chinese market is.

#

That even the US and Europe together are like half of them

distant wagon
#

i can scale it
1100 messages under 6 hours

crystal ridge
#

no he would get banned for spaming

#

If you send to many msgs on discord the bot will flag your account and then temp ban you

#

not enough to get banned it seams

#

Discord has systems in place to prevent spam and automated activity, and sending a large number of messages quickly can trigger these filters

jade valve
#

So there is no reason for them to bot this, since even if it's just their domestic market. Just that will proportionally be massive compared to the usual numbers.
Added to that was that it was based on a story that just about every Chinese person knows, so there was a ton of hype about it over there.

crystal ridge
#

Nah i was way off with that i have to reread there help thing to find out how many it really is

jade valve
#

It seems like a slightly softer souls-like (I know purists hate that characterization, but idc)

#

So eh

#

I'll check it out when I feel the price is in a range I'd be willing to pay

#

I rarely if ever pay for games at full price

#

I don't think I've really completed a DS game

#

I did enjoy DS2

jade valve
#

I have it, but I'm holding off on playing it till I'm done with the other souls games.

#

I don't, it's not worth it to me.

#

I've got a massive backlog of games

#

And most games are buggy as shit on release.

#

So if I wait, I get a better price and it will be a few patches down the line

thick fossil
#

While Elden Ring is pretty damn good, the linearity of the older games really helps the narrative a lot morr

jade valve
#

I know games like cyberpunk were so broken on release that people still refuse to play it even though all the issues have been resolved.

#

So I want to avoid that situation

#

hey does anybody got access to battlefield 6 yet? I just filled out the bflabs form

The bugs enhance the stalker experience

#

Because it's the zone

#

Haven't played it because Playstation

#

I have the Trilogy though

#

I "technically" beat the first one

#

I say that because I'm in the sarcophagus in a constant radiation death loop in that one doorway with the 3 different shotguns and SMGs

#

Yeah. That was about a year back

#

Clear sky likes to crash, but I enjoy it whenever I try go hop on

#

The original though will always be my favorite

#

The immersion alone was absolutely amazing

#

My first couple hours, out of rookie village, I limped my way back from the military checkpoint after painstakingly using the Makarov to kill and loot the guards to the little bridge where I huddled for the night listening to that guitar

#

Sitting there for the entire game night, listening to the sounds of the zone around me by that fire just seemed so special

earnest hearth
#

how long did it took you to receive access?
