boundary going into early access

very excited for this, basically the only shooter i've thoroughly enjoyed in recent years

[indigo gyro]

When you upgrading fasooli

[summer furnace]

when tekken 8 gets a release date

[onyx nest]

https://media.contentapi.ea.com/content/dam/apex-legends/common/articles/sun-squad-collection-event/ash-heirloom-blog-v1.mp4

[summer furnace]

ps5 is 660$ alone here so I don't have a say

[indigo gyro]

Tekken is releasing this year right?

[summer furnace]

not likely
too early

[indigo gyro]

I thought it's releasing in few months

Because they have shown a lot

[onyx nest]

https://media.contentapi.ea.com/content/dam/apex-legends/common/articles/sun-squad-collection-event/sun-squad-ce-skins-blog-v1.mp4

[indigo gyro]

Ash and lis nas skin is cool

[onyx nest]

horizon looking pretty

[indigo gyro]

Yeah her skin is cool too

[onyx nest]

no that catalyst wtf

thought its horizon

[indigo gyro]

I saw the trailer

[onyx nest]

jeeeeez

catalyst hot

imma act up

[indigo gyro]

[onyx nest]

im gonna buy that skin i dont give shit

[indigo gyro]

https://youtu.be/_Erw-GHuDus

[indigo gyro]

Ash dialogues

[indigo gyro]

You are more talkative than I anticipated

[onyx nest]

ash buffed because gotta sell heirloom

160 dollars

like always

[indigo gyro]

Can apex legends get an overhaul it's also source game

Tbh it looks good very unique vibrant art style

[onyx nest]

the engine is so heavily modified its basically not source anymore

[indigo gyro]

Yep

[onyx nest]

i would think if they ever decided to upgrade it would be unreal engine

[next rapids]

apex on unreal is cursed

[onyx nest]

but i dont think they ever will upgrade

they just release new game after apex dies

[summer furnace]

the ps4 fusion controller came in 20/11/2020
8 days after the ps5

[rough narwhal]

dualsense for tlou part 1 on pc yeeaaaaaaaa

[next rapids]

i think all ps exclusives get haptic support on pc

provided they had it on console

[rough narwhal]

ah i got no idea, this is the first ps exclusive ill be playing on pc

[nocturne badge]

I do wanna get it too

[next rapids]

i think re4 release has killed steam

[brittle portal]

why do you think that

[next rapids]

because it releases now and steam is dead

[indigo gyro]

😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

[nocturne badge]

I'll probably wait for it to go on sale before getting it. I just got ground branch and that game is pretty fun

[next rapids]

i tried ground branch but found it boring, probably best with friends

[brittle portal]

Ground Branch seems like an interesting game. I'd like to get it to play PvE.

PVP, i ain't interested.

[nocturne badge]

It reminds me of those 'slow' cod missions that I enjoy like Clean House

[next rapids]

have you tried ready or not

[nocturne badge]

Or that one on the oil rig

[brittle portal]

i am not ready.

[nocturne badge]

Yeah, it needs more time in the oven sadly

The AI is good but buggy

[next rapids]

yeah making good progress though

[rough narwhal]

i dont think re4 is THAT big

[next rapids]

i last properly played it when it released but i've been keeping an eye on the updates, pretty substantial

[next rapids]

yeah idk just correlation

[rough narwhal]

ill pick it up at some point

by the time i got to re4 it was a few years after its initial release and it just felt too jank for me

[nocturne badge]

I've had a few times where the co-op AI just didn't do any thing I told them. It was like talking to a chat-bot that never understood a word you'd say

Ground Branch doesn't have AI but it plans on having it

[next rapids]

oh yeah i never bother with the ai teammates, only way to play is with other players

[nocturne badge]

Yeah I'd play with friends but the only friends I'd be able to play with are in Germany. So the connection won't be great

Also, German Police and American Police working together.

[brittle portal]

i remember hearing about either some people or some guy complaining about Leon doing the Center-Axis Relock stance in the RE4 Remake. Some people were saying that him doing that in the RE4 Remake is "anachronistic".

Paul Castle was alive in 2005. CAR stance being utilized is not unreasonable.

[nocturne badge]

Things being anachronistic in a game where 6 headshots on a woman with a broom is needed to kill

[brittle portal]

yeah

[nocturne badge]

The stance is really just to make him look more 'elite'/'cool'

[brittle portal]

i mean he was literally sent By Himself to find the president's daughter. He's tough shit and he should seem like that.

[nocturne badge]

I would know how badass he was. He was nearly impossible to kill in Operation Raccoon City

Also have Capcom really been known to be realistic when making their games?

Their most realistic game is probably Dead Rising

[brittle portal]

to be fair, RE7 looks pretty damn realistic. visually.

in fact all of the modern RE Engine games do.

[nocturne badge]

Oh I meant from a gameplay perspective, but yeah they do look good

Oh wait I take it back, Dragon's Dogma is probably their most realistic game

A game with good character customization

[elfin lark]

What game is that? Seems familiar

[nocturne badge]

Dragon's Dogma :v

[elfin lark]

Ah neat, can’t say i’ve heard of it of it before

[nocturne badge]

It's a rather older game by now

You get to make your character and one friendly AI (Your pawn). However the other two members of your party can also be player created by other people online, including friends

Your pawn can be chosen by other people online and they might bring back gifts from other people's worlds (which was usually like one carrot or something)

[elfin lark]

That sounds pretty nifty

[nocturne badge]

The character creation was EXTENSIVE https://youtu.be/yzWvC4eDcJo

[elfin lark]

Jeez that is pretty nifty

[nocturne badge]

You could also climb on big enemies and attack while climbing them. Like getting on a dragon that's flying and hitting them while on them

[brittle portal]

https://youtu.be/ctlSMvWVbVo

[stiff panther]

the lighting looks sooooo good

[brittle portal]

I can't tell if some of these are new models or if they're just looking a bit better now cause they're on Source 2

There are definitely some new sounds.

[stiff panther]

pretty sure every model has been changed

[brittle portal]

Some seem less changed than others.

[foggy wyvern]

RE2 is probably the most realistic environment wise. Then RE8 is a step up from 7. Not sure about the new RE4 remake but it looks good

[nocturne badge]

Yay

Game is fun, even though I am playing on an unofficial game-type https://streamable.com/wwaiw9

I will be able to see the day of cod on gamepass

[tribal crypt]

Not quite through yet

As stated in the post

[next rapids]

nice

[rocky grove]

Tbh I wonder something for this new rebooted universe for Cod now

If Cold War and MW2 (2022) take place in the same universe would that mean that if in a future raid we find the dark aether can we accidentally cause outbteak to come back or fight zombies

Since all zombie maps take place in isolated incidents/cover ups would be funny tho to see Price ,Gaz or whoever we play to murder zombies

[austere sonnet]

I still want aliens to appear so that they can bring back cod ghost

[nocturne badge]

I still never finished rdr2

I got it for like $5 during a Steam Sale

[nocturne badge]

It'd give me a viable reason to come back to those games :v

Just to complete the campaigns though, I'm not touching multiplayer at all. I've learnt my lesson I think.

[charred quail]

it's a boring game

I haven't finished it either

[nocturne badge]

It moves really slowly and the missions are quite restrictive

[charred quail]

cod mw2 steam reviews are now praising bf2042 for providing better support

hilarious

[onyx nest]

lol they have 0 idea

[nocturne badge]

I like the steam reviews that don't talk about the game at all, or the developers

@charred quail wanna help me with stinky tier 2 white lotus missions?

Tomorrow

[nocturne badge]

Okay but this steam review does feel like the truth

[nocturne badge]

Also, I see what you mean

But this is the type of steam review I was talking about earlier, not talking about the game whatsoever, just doing shit like this

[brittle portal]

that's because it is

[charred quail]

[next rapids]

first time using the ak

[summer furnace]

how are you so good

[charred quail]

PC gamer

[elfin lark]

The ak goes hard

[rocky grove]

We got death from above ,commanding intel and Smuggling tunnels

Or we can do Pathfinder visit all POI in 1 game lol

[elfin lark]

Could yall theoretically split up to get it done?

Or does it require every individual to visit every POI?

[rocky grove]

Split up I think

Since mission progress shares between players

[elfin lark]

Ahh that’s cool

[rocky grove]

Imma just try to get those 3 done tho without doing pathfinder

[elfin lark]

Didn’t realize mission progress was shared

[rocky grove]

Mostly going for the tier 3 skins

[elfin lark]

You better only use exfil tracking

[rocky grove]

I will but I want them other skins as well

[elfin lark]

Aye that’s fair

[rocky grove]

Doing 1 faction at a time

White lotus is almost done then going into Legion next

The transporter is cool

[spark oxide]

i preferred the 545 myself, but they're not all that different

i just liked the accuracy more

@high haven rectangle maps for jwe2

[elfin lark]

Apparently postal 4 came out

I didn’t even know there was a third one

Yeeesss, no more shitty boundaries on good looking maps xd

Though the biosyn map was pretty nice and compfy too. I really enjoy that you can link parts of ze park with the hyper loop. Makes mapping a ton of fun

[summer furnace]

when did they?

[tribal crypt]

Cold war

[rocky grove]

This is why I keep air patrol on me for Cold War

[next rapids]

time locked killstreaks are stupid too

just artificial difficulty for no reason

[brittle portal]

It was removed, therefore, not real.

[rocky grove]

It’s still real

[brittle portal]

no it's not

[rocky grove]

For those who still own it

[brittle portal]

it's removed. it doesn't count.

[rocky grove]

Clearly this statement is getting no where

You refuse to believe it yet seems it was real just removed

So yes it was real

[brittle portal]

no it wasn't.

[rocky grove]

Again not gonna keep this argument going you say it’s not real and that’s fine

I however know it was real

[brittle portal]

okay and i know it wasn't, that's the official stance on it.

I surprisingly enjoy Ground Branch's Customization

[elfin lark]

Well i’ll be damned

Didn’t expect that from you

Whatcha thinking bout playing next?

[empty ivy]

Yes! I'm getting there!

[elfin lark]

What game is that?

Actually i can take a decent guess

[empty ivy]

Yeah it's a good game.

But at times your own inconsistency can tilt you.

[summer furnace]

10v10 being gone made me a one in the chamber fan

kills with pistols give a lot of xp there

[indigo gyro]

I used the automatic x13

and desert

Either I like auto pistol or desert

Akimbo of course

But I couldn't get it I didn't got time to grind the game

[summer furnace]

that mode has a specific pistol for each map
and 8 players max

[indigo gyro]

Which one you used the most

[summer furnace]

p890 then deagle then p890 again

I used the g18 to unlock a shared suppressor
to use it on p890

for camo challenge

[indigo gyro]

not a fan of automatic pistol

?

[summer furnace]

no

I just realised all my saved keys are gone in dmz

I swear I had them saved just like the three 21 base cards I still have

[summer furnace]

nvm the pistols are random in one in the chamber @indigo gyro

They won't leave you the fuck alone

I'm so tired of this fucking common encounter it ruins every experience I have with this game

[stiff panther]

You really don't need to get so heated over it, lol

[polar wren]

I do because I wasted an hour of progress just to lose it all, it tends to piss people off just to lose progress like that

[indigo gyro]

[brittle portal]

this is generally why i don't play games like that

give me solo/co-op lobbies only don't put me in public lobbies full of random players and expect me to do shit

"OH, YOU GOTTA DO THESE MISSIONS BUT IF YOU START THE MISSION THEN EVERYONE IN THE LOBBY IS NOTIFIED AND CAN STOP YOU" fuck off.

don't give me missions to do if some random dipshit can just show up and decide that i don't get to play the game

[spark oxide]

true

[rocky grove]

@elfin lark wanna help me with a mission real quick on DMZ?

Smuggling Tunnels

[elfin lark]

Hows it work?

Truth be told im not very good at DMZ so im not certain you will want me

[rocky grove]

Locate smuggle tunnels
Place 2 Tactical cams at the entrance
Extract

How not good at DMZ

https://tenor.com/view/cat-suspicious-stare-reaction-gif-gif-26297876

[elfin lark]

Well if there is pvp don’t expect much

When i play i tend to play like a rat

So as long as you extract its good right? We both don’t need to extract?

[rocky grove]

Yeah

Just gotta place the 2 tac cams at the entrance’s

[elfin lark]

Well i can certainly try

Uh emphasis on try

[rocky grove]

Ok just let me know when you online

[elfin lark]

Already ready captain

[rocky grove]

Did you select a tac cam

[elfin lark]

Should have, let me confirm real quick

Yeep it is there

Will i see your quests?

[rocky grove]

Just drop it from ya inventory when we spawn and I’ll pick it up

[elfin lark]

Cause so far i only see mine

[rocky grove]

And yes

[elfin lark]

Cool cool

[rocky grove]

You can see others quest

[elfin lark]

Lets see how i can fuck up this time

I’ll just follow ya

Sacrifice myself if needed

If i get downed just abandon me

Hey fumi want an armour plate?

[summer furnace]

you're one

[elfin lark]

I am one?

[rocky grove]

We have to do it again

[elfin lark]

Aye aye

Give a sec, got an error

Got ze camera

As i said before, abandon me if needed

I don’t really care bout any loot

Well there we go

Good luck on the rest of your quests

"VFX update" video showing really shitty looking VFX

[next rapids]

forgot that arma thing existed

i guess it's good for arma standards

[charred quail]

they look like what you would see in half life 2

[sacred iron]

I think it looks good, vfx wise

so much better than 3

after playing it for 4 days straight I can safely say that arma 3's visuals aren't all that great

and my goodness are the physics completely nonsensical and broken

30 minutes of progress yesterday was denied because the car with all our stuff in just entered the shadow realm after causing all of us to drown on dry land for no reason

[charred quail]

one of the things they pride themselves on, which is ridiculous. A sim engine that can't simulate proper physics

[sacred iron]

there isn't really anthing like it. For better or for worse

The gameplay can be fun, but when your car spontaneously combusts for no reason and you lose everything it's frustrating

but we never take it seriously, glitches like those are goofy and fun

trying to play arma as a full on milsim just isn't really going to work given the performance problems, constant bugs and janky controls

[charred quail]

this, but most of the servers I joined people are full-on milsim nerds which sucked the fun out of it

most of my time spent on Arma 3 was just me messing around with mods

playing it as a sandbox is more fun

[sacred iron]

I've got a group of friends (maybe 5) who play arma, we just do antistasi and goof around

team killing, towing giant AA cannons on trailers, going on a convoy, running over every patrol we see just for the fun of it

enjoying the bugs and whatever is thrown at us

which is usually a car :/

[charred quail]

only game my friends play is league of legends

can't even convince them to get no man's sky

[sacred iron]

we do try to play well, actually making smart decisions, but milsim nerds would frown upon us

there are procedural missions you can do solo, we've tried two so far but they have been incredibly bad

well, one was alright but I kept breaking the save function. The other just had us constantly limping despite taking no damage, no vehicles to use, it was just a shambles

[charred quail]

lol

[sacred iron]

honestly I might just make my own missions for us to do

scripting it doesn't look too complicated

although for the time being antistasi will keep us going for weeks

it's been something like 20 hours so far and we've only just unlocked vests

[spark oxide]

Flight assist still not fixed?

[sacred iron]

no

i will remain persistant

[spark oxide]

So- is it always on or just can't be turned on?

i play Heli, i just never bother touching flight assistance

[sacred iron]

Turning it off doesn’t actually turn it off

So it’s constantly on

It’s simply an oversight that causes immense headaches while trying to play

Unless it’s an intentional design choice. If that’s the case then why wasn’t it implemented at launch. And just … why?

[spark oxide]

oh

[high haven]

i dunno, looks nice tbh. nothing ground breaking, but then again ze game is already quite old too xd

kinda reminds me of max payne with ze debris blasting off from shots

when's that remake coming? D:

[charred quail]

What did treyarch do with the ranked mode exactly

Latest update crashes the game so much people are banned from ranked play from "intentionally leaving"

[brittle portal]

"We're ultimately not responsible for core gameplay mechanics in Modern Warfare II" What the fuck were you responsible for?

[charred quail]

"we are responsible for ranked mode, but not really"

[spark oxide]

The ranked system itself probably.

And I know that they do map designs.

[charred quail]

hey, at least they replied

but directing people to IW is just like asking them to talk to walls

[rough narwhal]

well what does cm stand for? if its something like community manager then yea.. they dont have anything to do with core mechanical features...

thats like complaining to HR of a company you dont work for that a product is faulty...

[next rapids]

you'd assume the studio behind ranked play would have something to do with core mechanics of ranked play

[rough narwhal]

CM stands for competitive mode?

[next rapids]

community manager

[rough narwhal]

well yea.. community managers probably arent even devs

[next rapids]

people aren't asking the cm to change how dead silence works, they're asking treyarch, and they're being told that's the wrong studio to ask

[austere sonnet]

Cucumber Mango

[rough narwhal]

xD

[rough narwhal]

but they @'ed the treyarchCM twitter... not JUST treyarch.. so they are asking the CM to change how dead silence works

at least thats who replied

(idk how twitter works)

[next rapids]

to me it's pretty clear that they were making a general request and expecting it to be passed along to people who can change it

but regardless, what the cm said is what people are concerned about

they thought treyarch had control over things like that but they do not, it's still infinity ward

[rough narwhal]

and if they @'ed the technically wrong twitter account, that account told them where to go to actually be heard...

people making a mountain out of a mole hill imo

[next rapids]

it's a screenshot of reddit posted on twitter

cm probably saw the comment under some post and said what they said

[rough narwhal]

i guess it matters what subredit or where it was posted

in the end seems like the CM account just tried to be helpful and people are taking it out of context/twisting it around for "lul dev dumb" points

[next rapids]

i don't think that's it

again, people have an issue with who is behind ranked, not anything to do with the cm

[rough narwhal]

the other option is people are just dumb...

[next rapids]

they've learned that infinity ward still has control over core gameplay mechanics in ranked, when it was made clear that treyarch was working on ranked. People are just confused as to what treyarch is really doing since they can't change how ranked plays

who said it or where it was said is irrelevant

[rough narwhal]

not really

[next rapids]

other than the fact that it was an official treyarch account

[rough narwhal]

id deep dive the technicalities of this to further likely prove a point, but i know this general crowd doesnt care and is just looking for the low tier meme takes

tldr, not worth

[austere sonnet]

hear me out

They no brain me no iq and other is smol brain and game features is too much and less brain power

[brittle portal]

This was a reddit post, presumably an AMA or a response to the Treyarch Community Manager saying something.

I don't know how you manage to confuse Reddit comments and Twitter. There isn't even an @ on the post.

also, sidenote, IW wouldn't go for Dead Silence being a perk. They seem very against the idea of Dead Silence being anything but a field upgrade.

[rough narwhal]

pretty easy when you never had either and it says twitter at the top

[brittle portal]

i mean you don't have to have either to recognize site layouts, shit gets reposted from reddit and twitter all the time all over the place.

also, i feel like the questions of "if Ranked is basically just MW2 with CDL bans, then what does Treyarch do with it? Why were they brought on to help develop this? What does Treyarch actually contribute here?" are valid questions to ask considering the circumstances.

[rough narwhal]

imagine suggesting you should know what something looks like if youve never used them..

[brittle portal]

imagine suggesting you should never pay attention to what social media site a post or a statement is screenshotted from. People post shit from Reddit and Twitter all the time, even on here.

It's not a hard thing to learn, honestly.

It's not like you need an account with either site to recognize the layouts.

[rough narwhal]

if you think thats the suggestion then you are doing some mental gymnastics..

[brittle portal]

That is what i'm suggesting, it's not my fault you're not getting it.

[rough narwhal]

"imagine suggesting you should never pay attention to what social media site a post or a statement is screenshotted from"

to make it easy for you.. im not suggesting that

[brittle portal]

Well, you're suggesting that the only way someone would know that is to have accounts on these sites which is strictly not true.

[rough narwhal]

i gotta start color coding and drawings graphs when talking to you

[rough narwhal]

not even close.. stop suggesting the world only works in extremes

im not familiar with the sites because i dont know them, so its reasonable for me to not know where things are coming from, especially when its apparently a mix of the two sites and says "tweet" at the top

absolutely NOTHING of that scenario is me making any general statement at all.. let alone suggesting "never pay attention to social media sites"

[brittle portal]

I don't know how you could possibly not know about either Twitter or Reddit, especially considering like i've said before a lot of stuff gets reposted from both places, especially on here where people talk about the BF subreddit.

[rough narwhal]

it seems youre desperate to classify something its absolutely not, just so you can have a chance to "understand" and argue against it

[brittle portal]

It just seems like an incredibly unlikely scenario that you, a person who's presumably been on the internet for more than 17 seconds, has absolutely no idea what either Twitter or Reddit is.

[rough narwhal]

what are you suggesting then? im lying for what? i absolutely do not care about you or what you think about me, so why would i have a reason to lie about anything to you, let alone something so trivial?

[brittle portal]

I donno. People have lied about dumber things before. Pretending to not know about social media platforms wouldn't be surprising to me, especially to be like "oh i barely go on the internet because i have real stuff to do in real life all the time."

[rough narwhal]

this is an incredibly weird thing to lie about..

[merry shadow]

[ripe pike]

What did you lie about Nyphon lad ?

[rough narwhal]

that i cant tell the difference between twitter and reddit from a random screenshot that apparently has both in the screenshot?

[brittle portal]

anyway, like i said earlier, I feel like the questions posed by the response on Reddit are valid considering the circumstances, especially considering Treyarch was brought on to develop the Ranked Mode. If the Ranked Mode is just MW22 with CDL rules, which is mostly what IW works on, then what is Treyarch doing?

[ripe pike]

Lmao you really messed up on that Nyphon

[rough narwhal]

i know right? ill never recover from this

[high haven]

i'll pay for the engravement on your tomb

[rough narwhal]

Nyphon

Internet Asshole

P.S. Also lies about being able to differ between reddit and twitter

[ripe pike]

Yeah it seems like you'll need a hundred hours of communal work and public excuse in front of your town hall to get forgiven

[rough narwhal]

https://tenor.com/view/shame-got-gif-15926411

[next rapids]

yeah that's the crux of it

regardless of where it was or the context behind it, treyarch said that gameplay inquiries should go to infinity ward

[high haven]

i'm just gonna send letters to dice instead

[next rapids]

there's no blowing out of proportion or misunderstanding, that's just what people have been told and they're rightfully confused about it

[brittle portal]

Which raises the question of "if all gameplay, including ranked, is dealt with by IW, then what is Treyarch doing here?"

[rough narwhal]

doesnt it depend what they define as core?

just because we dont know their definition, and dont know what they can/cant do, doesnt mean they dont do anything

[brittle portal]

I assume core would mean stuff like gunplay, movement, how perks work, how attachments work, attachment tuning, weapon balance, map design, objective placement, shit like that.

[rough narwhal]

🤷

[brittle portal]

I still feel like that's a fair question to have, regardless.

[rough narwhal]

what exactly is the question?

[brittle portal]

"if all gameplay, including ranked, is dealt with by IW, then what is Treyarch doing here?"

[weak hornet]

Probably only the ranked system like the points and whatnot

[rough narwhal]

ehh, you can question anything, doesnt mean you actually deserve answers

[weak hornet]

You expect a AAA company to be transparent with what they're doing? Come on man it's 2023.

[brittle portal]

ok but that's not what we're talking about, we're not talking about if anyone actually deserves an answer to this question, we're talking about if it's a valid question to be asking, and in my opinion, I think it is.

[brittle portal]

I know, but that's not gonna stop me from asking.

[high haven]

i kinda miss the days when a mp game came out and there was no extra content. just the longest yard with the same regs

[ripe pike]

Touching the jackpot

[brittle portal]

they brought in a whole other studio as a support team and all they did was ranked points and icons? That seems like overkill.

[weak hornet]

I miss the days when there was just the regular camo or armor grind (like Halo or Gears)

[high haven]

i miss the days where skulls were the biggest grind in halo ;D

just finding them in ze maps

[rough narwhal]

i wish they brought these skins back, but NOT at the cost of paying for the base game AND dlc like before

getting free base game and major content with paid for skins > paying for base game and major content and earning free/cool skins

i remember buying map packs and not being able to play them or play with certain friends because they didnt have it

longer queue times for certain maps, or not seeing some maps at all...

[brittle portal]

Buying DLC for multiplayer shooters was a gamble. It's why i largely never bothered with it.

[high haven]

battlefront 1 has this issue luckily there's still a community hosting weekend events to play these dlcs xd

[brittle portal]

Hell, you see this with the previous BF games.

Nobody runs the DLC, and if anyone does, it's only a small part of the DLC that they actually give a shit about.

[rough narwhal]

when i started working i would buy everything, including all the dlc for the games i played at the time.. it was annoying to say the least

[weak hornet]

Shout out to the one server that tries to run the Naval DLC

[brittle portal]

Tries to.

[weak hornet]

and the one BF1 that tries to run Supply Drop for an achievement

[rough narwhal]

yea expensive skins suck, but anyone wanting paid for dlc back for free/cheap skins is delusional

[brittle portal]

I don't know why you would bother running the worst DLC in BF4.

[weak hornet]

I don't mind store skins but like many games dropped the grinding skins that actually look cool

CoD only has gold and diamond now, it seems only Treyarch wants to go the extra step with stuff like Dark Matter and whatnot

[rough narwhal]

ill never grind in a game so no comment

[weak hornet]

Yeah that's fine

[brittle portal]

I grind a game if i like playing it.

[weak hornet]

And I mean more unique shit like Halo 3's Hayabusa or Recon

not Color #55

[rough narwhal]

id argue thats not grinding, its just a by product of playing the game you enjoy

[brittle portal]

Halo 3 recon wasn't really a grind, it was more harassing Bungie for them to give it to you.

[summer furnace]

a solution would be to remove standard edition games
and keep the ultimate one that has all the dlcs

[brittle portal]

yeah but still.

[next rapids]

idk i don't think grinding is that far disconnected from enjoyment, it might be a byproduct but it's still grinding

[weak hornet]

Okay then the flaming helmet for Reach lol

[brittle portal]

yeah but that'd either make all the games way too expensive or companies would get less money than if everyone had bought the seperate edition with all the DLC, and they'd never go for that.

[rough narwhal]

for me it is, i wont grind for shit if i dont enjoy what im doing

but if doing something i naturally would, like playing the game, also progresses a grind, id argue thats not "GRINDING"

[summer furnace]

destiny 1's standard was removed
but the separate dlcs and the ultimate bundle were kept

[weak hornet]

I think the only thing CoD has going for it atm is the 'grind' but even then it's just coloring your gun something shiny

[rough narwhal]

some people enjoy the grind, i call those people weird

[brittle portal]

that just seems stupid to me.

[rough narwhal]

hell i wont use a weapon i dont like to fulfil a quest

some people seem to play a whole game they dont enjoy just to fill a bar

[next rapids]

i am people

i don't know how it works it just does

[weak hornet]

The people who got to MAXIMUM Prestige Master in Black Ops 3 don't really like the game lol

[rough narwhal]

(imo i think those people have a sort of emptiness in their real lives that they use trivial tasks to have a sense of fulfilment)

[next rapids]

even if the reward isn't huge the act of progressing towards something brings me enjoyment, even if the activity required to progress is not enjoyable

[weak hornet]

I also know that a lot of people who got to Level 500 in Battlefield V quit immediately

[brittle portal]

I think at some point when you play a game for a while you become acutely aware of all the issues it has.

[next rapids]

yeah lots of people poke fun at players that slander games but have 1000 hours, but like that's the whole point, they know the game inside out

[brittle portal]

Like, ask someone who's been playing BF4 for a very long time what they think of the game. You'll probably get a middling response, or they'll tell you that it's terrible.

[high haven]

i cheese the weapon upgrades in bf2042's co-op so i can just use the attachments i want comfortably instead of grinding them out in mp.

[rough narwhal]

id call those people illogical.

[weak hornet]

BF4 was fun for it's time

[brittle portal]

Well, like Kato said. It makes sense. They've played it for a long time, they know how everything works, and they know all the issues it has, and have likely run into them numerous times.

[rough narwhal]

i dont think that scenario suddenly means the overall package is lesser because people want to focus on the worst

[weak hornet]

Like if you ask me to play BF4 over 1 and V, I'd pick 4 due to it's overall game-design and philosophy, even though the age holds it back quite a bit with it's gunplay and broken movement mechanics

[brittle portal]

I'd play BF4 over BF1. Because BF1 is fucking awful.

[rough narwhal]

hence thinking those people that would say that, are illogical

rdr 2 isnt less than a 10/10 because someone spent 1k hours in it and found a bunch of problems

[merry shadow]

Finally someone who thinks the same about BF1/BF4

[brittle portal]

but that's their opinions on the matter, it doesn't objectively change anything about the game, it's strictly their experience talking.

[weak hornet]

People only praise BFV for it's gunplay because they actually don't know how it works

[merry shadow]

BFV was shit as well

[brittle portal]

Oh jesus fucking christ, dude.

[merry shadow]

[weak hornet]

For me BFV was shit due to the insane amount of restrictions the game gives you

[rough narwhal]

dems fighting words

[weak hornet]

Wanna do something? Do a 3 second animation you can't cancel that locks your controls and camera

[brittle portal]

BUT IT'S IMMERSIVE

[weak hornet]

2042 and 4 just go "teleport to do function because vidya gaem"

[merry shadow]

After they made the vehicle change that you turn really slow even with max mouse sensitivity killed vehicle gameplay for me.

[brittle portal]

artificially capping mouse movement is a stupid idea.

[weak hornet]

Oh yeah and attrition for vehicles really killed aggressive vehicle combat, so you will rarely see them going to middle objectives, more on the outskirts of the map

[brittle portal]

especially in a game that doesn't have crossplay

like

what are you trying to do here?

like if BFV had crossplay there'd be an argument for that. Not a good one, but there'd be one.

[weak hornet]

BFV with crossplay sounds funny to me

[rough narwhal]

not have a vehicle that can 1 shot you easily that you cant 1 shot back be able to "360 no scope you" in .5 seconds

[weak hornet]

Oh yeah one reason why I dislike BF1 and BFV is because vehicle classes

why?

[merry shadow]

Like there are certain things I like from every BF game but BFV was just hot shit

[weak hornet]

Why be a thing?

[merry shadow]

Gunplay was pretty satisfying but every other thing was just pain

[rough narwhal]

movement was phenomenal

[weak hornet]

Gunplay was satisfying until you realize how it actually functioned

[rough narwhal]

better than its gunplay

[brittle portal]

BFV's movement was probably the best part of it

[weak hornet]

I think the movement was the only thing I liked about it other than the era

[high haven]

what i liked about vehicle attrition is that tanks also had to retreat though. so defenses had some sort of moment where tanks would fall back from objectives which let the attackers gain a chance to take it over. and air couldnt' hoover over you all the time and had to move from supply thing to supply thing. whereas in 2042, helis just stick to a single sector all ze fecking time

[merry shadow]

Didn't help that I didn't really like any of the maps in BFV

[high haven]

not even rotterdam?

[weak hornet]

Rotterdam shouldn't have been in the game ngl

[rough narwhal]

rotterdam was DAM good

[merry shadow]

Out of all the maps the game has it's the best one

[weak hornet]

Like, historically it was a small scale siege

[rough narwhal]

that was kind of the point of bfv though...

[weak hornet]

at that time of day

Yeah but in gameplay, TIGER Is going through the cities, full tank battles, missiles coming in, artillery strikes

[rough narwhal]

bfv was literally billed as showcasing the smaller battles and not focusing on the standard ww2 that media has done over and over

[weak hornet]

That's one reason why it failed

[rough narwhal]

a small reason

[weak hornet]

People play WWII games for the iconic battles mostly

[rough narwhal]

considering i still see a shit load of people not knowing it wasnt a standard ww2 product

[weak hornet]

I know people were angery that the game didn't really look like WWII with it's outfits until much later

[brittle portal]

Considering we're talking about why BFV failed, I wanna say that I thought the whole "OH THERE'S A WOMAN ON THE COVER AND THAT'S NOT HISTORICALLY ACCURATE" and the "Don't Like It, Don't Buy It" situations were very funny.

[rough narwhal]

yea, but that was also a "buy to find out thing"

[weak hornet]

Oh yeah the cover doesn't look like a WWII game

[rough narwhal]

if i had to guess the biggest contributor to a lack of sales with bfv was the horrible trailer

[brittle portal]

I feel like people were being massive bitches about it, but it was very funny to see.

[rough narwhal]

(even though i think bfv still sold pretty good)

[weak hornet]

Like I don't see World War II in this

Sure she has a coat on

[brittle portal]

nevermind the planes in the background and the 1911

[indigo gyro]

I really liked the reveal trailer because it showed gameplay too
I didn't had to wait for a gameplay trailer

[weak hornet]

1911 is in a lot of war games that are not WWII

[rough narwhal]

yeaaa but thats weird when its MP gameplay for a reveal trailer which is usually cinematic

[brittle portal]

well i can't tell what the other gun is

[high haven]

one of my fav reasons i like bfv is due it focuses so much on the fall of europe rather than the liberation of it as much other titles. having these desperate battles for the countries is rather interesting and most entertainment media we had from that era is mostly civilian based

[indigo gyro]

Cool poster imo

[rough narwhal]

instead now you have a trailer with characters reviving and shit that leads into it being gameplay

so at first youre just like.. i thought that person just died..

[weak hornet]

It might be an M1A1 Carbine but still, unless you really know what the background stuff is, you can't really tell it's a WWII game, or if it's really a war game

[brittle portal]

civilian focused perspectives on war are generally more interesting imo. like i don't really give much of a damn about the perspective of some sergeant or general in a war.

[weak hornet]

It doesn't help that she's not wearing a helmet

[brittle portal]

what would you think this is.

[weak hornet]

I don't know

[indigo gyro]

I don't like waiting for gameplay trailers but things goes like this
Logo reveal
Teaser trailer
Cinematic trailer
Gameplay trailer
Release date trailer
Launch trailer
Accolades trailer

[weak hornet]

Like if you just show me this picture and I knew nothing about Battlefield V, I wouldn't be able to tell you what the game actually was other than a shooting game

[spark oxide]

i mean- she's not exactly dressed like a soldier

[weak hornet]

That's one of my main points

Sure, she's wearing a British Coat

[rough narwhal]

rewatching the reveal trailer and KNOWING its a MP trailer makes it cool, but if you dont know that its just weird

[weak hornet]

And that's about it, no coat, everything that could resemble a War game is really behind her

[high haven]

i think the pacing and lack of music is what makes the reveal trailer so off. the edits that add in the bf music already makes it a tad better

[rough narwhal]

that too

[weak hornet]

Look at other Battlefield games in comparison

[rough narwhal]

yeaa basically just a horrible trailer...

[weak hornet]

You can clearly tell what sorta era and vibe they're going for

BF1, he's got a big cape, there's an airship behind him crumbling down, a mauser in sight and a trench club

2042, modern helicopters, skyscrapers, containers flying in the distance, wearing modern military stuff that can be seen on today's soldiers

[indigo gyro]

Imo all the posters are cool for battlefield games

[weak hornet]

For BFV, anything that can be shown for what era or setting it actually is in is blurred to shit

[indigo gyro]

My favorite one is of 4 and 5

[merry shadow]

Next BF will be medieval right guys?

[high haven]

like in the devastation of rotterdam you feel a certian rhythm. expose of the setting, then introducing characters running, suddenly a tank, boom, explosions, peopel vaulting through windows, it gets intense and then pacing drops to reveal the giant ass explosion of a v1 rocket. now we're in devastation etc. in the reveal trailer it just feels like it goes from one to another with no real reason. we storm a house, all's well, ohh shit tanks coming, wait they're actually friendly, let's hop on, yadayada

[rough narwhal]

THE LAST OF US PART ONE ON PC SOON

[weak hornet]

OH SHIT

[rough narwhal]

https://tenor.com/view/metal-parrot-headbanging-gif-17332910

without the need to go a single year in the future

[indigo gyro]

When will they show us last of us multiplayer gameplay trailer imagine it followed the same trailer thing that I mentioned above
They have revealed artwork

Artwork reveal

[rough narwhal]

i hope soon, more people should experience the mp

[indigo gyro]

I like the artwork

[summer furnace]

live service games will be on pc day one

[indigo gyro]

I want it to be same as part ii gameplay

[indigo gyro]

Have you seen the horizon leaked multiplayer gameplay?

[high haven]

i wish the yported part 2 soon as well. though tempted getting part 1 solely due having watched ze show

[rough narwhal]

im so used to thursdays

[indigo gyro]

I can't play it I will have to wait 2-3 weeks

[rough narwhal]

ill probably wait for the weekend to buy it

[indigo gyro]

Yeah like uncharted iiii and lost legacy bundle
Part I and part ii bundle

[high haven]

yessh

[indigo gyro]

Maybe we will get remastered part ii for pc

[high haven]

also dice, port over uncharted 1, 2 and 3 to pc. i want more people to experience that series

[summer furnace]

[indigo gyro]

I want old God of war games remakes

[rough narwhal]

i sure hope so

its just so convenient to have games on pc

[indigo gyro]

Like spiderman remastered

[rough narwhal]

i almost bought it again

ill just wait for a good miles morales sale though

[high haven]

when last of us sells like water in the desert party, i'm sure they want to port 2 over asap

[rough narwhal]

ASAP would still probably be a year or 2

[high haven]

i'll buy part 2 day one

don't ruin it for me

[next rapids]

i imagine they'll want the port ready for when season 2 ends

so yeah a few years

but if season 2 flops...

[rough narwhal]

season 2 wont end for a LONG time

they already said interpreting part 2 in tv format will be more than a single season

so i pray we arent waiting 3-5 years for part 2 pc port

[indigo gyro]

REIIII is at first and part I remake is at second place on top sellers right now

[rough narwhal]

good

[high haven]

hope so. i feel like one season for last of us was already kinda short. they could've taken a bit more time for the journey

[rough narwhal]

i just wanted more infected

and yea, some episodes were a bit TOO lean

[indigo gyro]

[rough narwhal]

i hope part 1 sells like hotcakes

[indigo gyro]

I am happy to see Final fantasy VII remake is also on the list

[high haven]

i hope part 1 spreads like fungus...... 😄

[rough narwhal]

https://tenor.com/view/gary-spongebob-drums-joke-ba-gif-22902854

[indigo gyro]

you don't want it in real life

[indigo gyro]

Garry

I am really curious what will happen in part iii

[rough narwhal]

we got like... 3 more years to find out

[indigo gyro]

[rough narwhal]

yea sad..

i think TLOU is the only franchise ill buy a console for to play ASAP

[indigo gyro]

If I had money I will not even think

[indigo gyro]

Like I couldn't play Ragnarok or the upcoming final fantasy xvi

Have to wait a lot

[high haven]

if i had money i wouldn't buy a console. i'd buy a better pc ;D

[indigo gyro]

Dude you got money you can buy both

[rough narwhal]

i almost bought a ps5 for ragnarok, but i can wait for a pc port

[summer furnace]

ragnarok's new game plus no news for yet

[indigo gyro]

I don't have patience but I can't do anything about it so I must wait

[summer furnace]

the prequal's ng+ came exactly 4 months after the release

[high haven]

what makes god of war so good?

i haven't played them yet

the newest ones atleast ;D

[indigo gyro]

Story, combat, world atmosphere, giant bosses

[next rapids]

if i had a quarter for every time i ignored an enemy in my peripheral because there was a blue skull next to them and my brain automatically filled that enemy in as a friendly i would have so many fucking quarters

[indigo gyro]

Kratos and blades of chaos

[rough narwhal]

idk about ranarok but GOW was a complete package, everything it tried to do was a success and id argue to the highest degree of polish

of course you can not like the game, but to anyone saying they are not good are just outright lying

[next rapids]

ragnarok was a flat out improvement on the first game in basically every area

just a damn good sequel

i still get chills watching the beginning of the final battle

[rough narwhal]

damn.. and the first game was at least a 9/10 for me

[charred quail]

some people hate it because it's "too cinematic", which is dumb

games should be cinematic

[next rapids]

i love it because it's so cinematic

the cutscenes are amazing

like watching a movie seamlessly between gameplay

[charred quail]

like, the entire reason spec ops the line was considered "good" was because of its story

the gameplay was utterly horrible

[next rapids]

also there's like an entire missable area full of content and a side story? it's insane to have so much effort for a completely optional part of the map

[brittle portal]

The gameplay is fine, it's just nothing special.

[charred quail]

it was basically gear of war + call of duty dumbed all the way down

the environmental traps were a nice addition but that's all there is to it

I played it 10 years ago, little 16-something me was traumatized by the phosphorus mission

[brittle portal]

i feel like Spec Ops: The Line was designed to be played on FUBAR, and the only reason it's not is because of publisher intervention.

[rough narwhal]

just depends on the game.

mario isnt cinematic and odyssey is one of my favorite games

[austere sonnet]

Hear me out lad

[rough narwhal]

i think the people that say a game SHOULDNT be X or Y thing are wrong though

[indigo gyro]

Go on

[austere sonnet]

Mario with ray tracing and enhanced 4k graphics and dynamic lighting with dynamic weather

Check mate nyphon now the game will be cinematic

[charred quail]

life-like Mario would traumatize a lot of people I think

[austere sonnet]

Just make him look like Chris Pratt

[elfin lark]

Mama mia

[indigo gyro]

Mario on UEV

[rough narwhal]

i think of cinematic as an emphasis on story and cutscenes

[indigo gyro]

Final fantasy VII remake has alot of Cutscene cinematics

And it looks beautiful

[austere sonnet]

Add top and bottom bars for cinematic effect tok

[indigo gyro]

I don't like those bars

I carried the whole match, honestly don’t get why I’m silver lmao

[rough narwhal]

do you actually grind?

[merry shadow]

No lol I play maybe 10 matches every 3 years

[rough narwhal]

i feel like a lot of games will put you a whole, to a few ranks below your actual rank just to incentivize people to play

[merry shadow]

Might be grinding more if the team wants to keep playing

looks cool i need to download it still

[charred quail]

I got early access but still can't download it

[next rapids]

hm yeah steam is being weird

[charred quail]

I think we can download the day of the beta

it's also only a 1-day beta

[next rapids]

bruh

[charred quail]

what is with super short beta tests recently

diablo 4 one also lasted only 2 days

[spark oxide]

What is it with shooters avoiding the use of weapon holsters?

like- i know CoD does it well, but the rest...

i just hate pulling a rocket launcher out of the air

[summer furnace]

lack of care

it would honestly be useful gameplay wise
knowing who equips what weapon

[spark oxide]

The immersion...

playing Battlefront, and i'm like- "where does it go?"

Red Dead did it so well

even in 2011

GTA VI should have concealed carry, but you can't conceal carry a rifle so you gotta be selective about when to go around with it so that the police don't stop you

but i just know people'd complain that they can't carry around their year 2170 handheld railgun on their flying bus without getting wanted

[sacred iron]

Arma 3 does a decent job at it

But it also makes the actual rocket you reload completely invisible, while keeping you standing in place if you press the wrong button

So yet again bugs get in the way of the experience

[foggy wyvern]

What is that?

[ripe pike]

The system is reportedly the same as RDR2

[charred quail]

a video game

[charred quail]

steam still won't let me download it

reeeeee

saw someone call this the Arizona Ice Tea camo

it looks nice but I can't be arsed to farm launcher kill

seems dirty

[brittle portal]

ah hell nah they put the arizona ice tea cans on their guns

[high haven]

Dufflebag, briefcase, painting the tip orange

[charred quail]

cod mobile skins are still the most pog

even the default guns look wack

I've been playing it on my bed lately, the default m4 looks like a 20$ skin in mw2

[brittle portal]

never seen em. im honestly about to go back to sleep for a bit.

[next rapids]

i might get cod mobile tbh, if i ever need to kill time it seems nice

played on pc but it's too easy and looks like shit

also man mw19 is 120 fucking gigabytes just for multiplayer

shit sucks

[charred quail]

lol

[next rapids]

you can install just the "base game"

which is 70

but then you don't have sp, mp, cp, or wz

so what the fuck are those 70 for

[summer furnace]

mwii's game packs were copied into mw19 on my ps4
the prequal's size became 256gb

[spark oxide]

[onyx nest]

Is that what they’re using launchers for? No wonder I’ve been getting those damn RPG rockets lobbed at me so much more

[charred quail]

Yeah I feel filthy using rpg

[rocky grove]

Use the JORK in DMZ

Speaking of DMZ will they reset factions missions again when S3 drops or no?

Cause I don’t wanna grind all the way to Tier 3 again for them

[charred quail]

Dmz poo

Yeah the missions will be reset

[indigo gyro]

[rough narwhal]

I’ll be playing this weekend maybe

[rocky grove]

Why do they always reset them

Major sadge

[summer furnace]

one thing for sure I'm never be able to buy future battlepasses

God why not make BP free already

[rough narwhal]

gotta make money somehow

[high haven]

why is every game having an update on this day

dice pls

[summer furnace]

more like

[tribal sinew]

i finished mass effect legendary edition trilogy and now i have nothing to play 😦

[rough narwhal]

been meaning to play this since i know so many people who say its so good

[tribal sinew]

i like it for sure, had to download a fov mod tho

[rough narwhal]

ah was it something dumb like 70?

[tribal sinew]

something like that, 80 perhaps

but finding fov mod was piss easy

[high haven]

wait, you never played mass effect, orange cat? D:

[rough narwhal]

nah, i tried it on ps3 and the performance was horrendous

by the time i got a good pc the games were fairly old so i wasnt interested in trying them out

[high haven]

ah! well i feel it's still worth jumping in

ps3 had ton of issues like that, which is a shame. never got to play the skate games cause of that due i heard it had shit performance

[rough narwhal]

skate was fine

i played the shit out of the skate series

[high haven]

well fuck me

[rough narwhal]

but certain games did perform much worse, like rdr

[high haven]

i need to travel in time and gift myself some skate copies 😦

i member trying out lbp 3 i believe and that was just a stutter fest

[rough narwhal]

tbf i didnt have a 360 till way after launch, so i didnt have a way to compare

[high haven]

but stuff that ran fine on xbox, had frame issues on ps3

[rough narwhal]

so my baseline might just be bad

[high haven]

we all know you lie in comparing reddit and twitter, surely it will be in knowing what has good frames on ps3 too 👀

[rough narwhal]

i can have no faults or shortcomings apparently

no matter how minor or trivial they are...

[high haven]

to be honest, i feel performance complaining is more of a new thing than back then. if it ran it was good enough ;D

atleast that's how i felt with lags back then

[rough narwhal]

i think thats a fair take

i know i didnt complain unless it was obviously bad

now anything less than 60 fps gets called out

[high haven]

yeap

and if i could run half-life 2 on low i was happy xd

[rough narwhal]

im all for better optimization, but a 60 fps baseline isnt needed for every title

[high haven]

i feel it only matters for multiplayer games where you need that performance to be good. in singleplayer i'll take the performance hits gladly if i can make it look real pretty ;d

[rough narwhal]

which is reasonable, but a bunch of smooth brains heard about fps for the first time and will now say everything has to be 60fps at least

[high haven]

filthy smooth brains

oh shit

i didnt realize sifu was added to steam

[rough narwhal]

it was taken off?

[high haven]

it was never there, only epic

[rough narwhal]

ah, never knew that

only vaguely interested in that game so never really followed it outside of initial reviews

[stiff panther]

i'm a person who thinks 60fps should be the standard 😬

and i don't consider myself 'smooth brain'

[rough narwhal]

for EVERY title?

even single player non action titles?

[stiff panther]

yes

[rough narwhal]

dont add up to me

[stiff panther]

30fps is downright unpleasant

i'm not saying it's 'unplayable' at 30, just .. yeah, unpleasant

very

[charred quail]

gotta turn on da motion blur if you are on 30fps

[rough narwhal]

for sp games ill use motion blur as long as its not a strong motion blur

[rough narwhal]

how long have you been gaming? im wondering if it might be an age thing

since a LOT of titles were 30 fps when i was gaming

[stiff panther]

i played 1942 on my dads lap as a toddler

been PC gaming since, he built me my first

🙂

[rough narwhal]

i guess thats a factor too

console gaming from roughly 1996-2010 myself

coming across 30 fps was just normal

[high haven]

i'm a filthy hybrid. NES to ps classic and then xbox og and not highest of highest pc build that slowly improved etc and onwards. so being able to play games with low frames and not the best graphics was good enough for me for most of the time. i remember playing tony hawk proskater 2 later and being baffled how fecking fast that game really was compared to the slow motion experience i had in the past xd

[rough narwhal]

i wonder when 60fps was even a thing for mp comp games for console...

[charred quail]

my brother and I had a NES, we played a lot of contra.

[rough narwhal]

i feel like halo was 60 fps?

hmm interested in this now

[high haven]

i think 60 fps wasn

[tranquil gull]

Ehh, Comp games for consoles?

[high haven]

t really a thing until ps4 era

[tranquil gull]

It would still be locked at 30 fps

[high haven]

ps3 was mostly 30 fps i think

[tranquil gull]

PS4 and on was 60

And even then that's with PS4 Pro I'm pretty sure
