I really hate the ghost re characterization

[bleak elk]

the Price casting tho is immaculate imo

the dude plays him very well

[ripe pike]

Who ?

[onyx nest]

I don’t even think he’s given any personal lore in the reboot

[charred quail]

US military general goes rogue with the biggest PMC force but the US military does nothing, instead some assholes from the UK and Mexico have to fix it

literally the dumbest story ever

[onyx nest]

[next rapids]

cod fans can't think so they don't need to put effort into the story

[bleak elk]

i remember a part where you go guns blazing to capture a dude and then when you finally get him ..you needed to release him because of politics/war crimes idk ?

[ripe pike]

I want the whole fucking clan dead, may Soap die, may Ghost die, may Gaze die, may Laswell die, and fucking shit may Valeria die I can't stand that narco puta

[onyx nest]

You reminded me that MW19 and MW22 both don’t include the Rangers like at any point in the story if im not wrong

[bleak elk]

like we just bombed the whole area with AC 130

CoD campaigns imaright

[ripe pike]

I still don't get how some people can't figure out their whole fucking lore doesn't make sense*

[charred quail]

yeah lmao. It was literally a black ops from the start, but when they got what they wanted they didn't even question why the general cunt requested that they let the guy go

[bleak elk]

first mission with the phosphorous explosion

hmm can't remember the name

[ripe pike]

At this point buying COD is just accepting Activision shitting on your forehead and it looks like a lot of people like it

[bleak elk]

but wasn't that US military ? the dude goes to join the Arab forces later on

[onyx nest]

I believe so but I have fuzzy memory of the mw19 story

[charred quail]

Alex?

[bleak elk]

Yes him!

[charred quail]

he's CIA black ops, defected to join a terrorist org lmao

[bleak elk]

ahhhhh right CIA

i member now

[ripe pike]

There's no large scale battles like previous game used to have, now it's just special operations which are always more special because everyone is special and it's finally a 3x special secret dark mega chaotic supra missions fuck yeah

[bleak elk]

and then Russia stole some gaz and it wasn't Russia and then whole bunch of fuckery

CoD campaigns

[charred quail]

both are very US-centric without involving the US army in any capacity

it's impressive really

impressive how fucking stupid the writer is

[next rapids]

don't forget the mexicans literally running over the border to chase someone

[charred quail]

hahaha

[bleak elk]

Funny how I'm replaying MW2 remastered campaign and it's like better in every part ...

[next rapids]

back when iw knew how to write

new campaigns are eye candy but that's about it, idk how anyone gets excited for them

[bleak elk]

And i didn't replayed it since I was like 15 ..it hits different

[ripe pike]

IRL they would have been shot by Cletus the farmer with his AR-15 before they even reached the ground after crossing the fence

[austere sonnet]

Cod ghost had a better ghost team

[charred quail]

they have some good set pieces, but the overall story is just stupid

just plotholes all over

[bleak elk]

I feel like the writing was much more straightforward with action packed missions and Michael Bay explosion style, like Hollywood blockbuster movie and with a simple plot to it

I did No Russian recently and yeah...

Simpler times

[ripe pike]

It leaded to a big controversy though lol

[austere sonnet]

Based times indeed

[bleak elk]

oh yeah the controversy around No Russian

[onyx nest]

True

[bleak elk]

stil talking about it tho, so they delivered - you weren't able to write this set piece without making a controversy but... they did it

and it kinda ..makes sense ?

granted it's an easy card for the plot but..it works ?

[summer furnace]

it was optional to do the mission either way, can skip

[next rapids]

stupid controversy

video games are video games

[ripe pike]

We all know nobody here skipped that mission

[austere sonnet]

https://youtu.be/9qOWSLIluZQ?si=3dT6QrweePFDFF4B

[bleak elk]

The remastered version looks clean too

[austere sonnet]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-catcry-gif-19131995

[bleak elk]

I was surprised by textures and shit

[charred quail]

remember call of duty 2 when it was pog all around?

[bleak elk]

isn't it like the old engine ?

[charred quail]

cod 2 slaps

[ripe pike]

I ain't a dinosaurus, I wasn't here around in 2500 B.C to play it

[charred quail]

play it today

it's still good

[bleak elk]

I didn't get to play much COD2 when I was younger - I really started at COD3 and then COD4 for MP

[ripe pike]

Where can I buy it though ?

[charred quail]

sail the high sea

[bleak elk]

But I did play all of COD...'till BO2

20 fucking years of franchise ...times change

[austere sonnet]

Ngl such a shame this was cut

[charred quail]

lots of people praise bo2's story and its villain

overrated imo

[bleak elk]

I think..campagin wise, my fav is still World at War

[charred quail]

couldn't give 2 fucks about some dickhead in a cod campaign

[bleak elk]

[next rapids]

left side of my jaw felt weird thought i was having a stroke

[charred quail]

do you smell toast

[next rapids]

just fresh air thankfully

[bleak elk]

imagine a timeline where BF is so bad that I pre-ordered COD

fucking hell

[charred quail]

[lost kelp]

Imagine a timeline where Battlefield Heroes was alive

How would it effect the gaming industry

[bleak elk]

Nah Battlefield Play4Free

[charred quail]

pay2win bf2 was cursed

[austere sonnet]

If Battlefield online was released for everyone

now that’s the gold mine

[lost kelp]

So many dumb western children to exploit

[austere sonnet]

[bleak elk]

ayo

[ripe pike]

I bought MW2 80 euros the week it released

[bleak elk]

45€ for MW3

[ripe pike]

WTF ???

[bleak elk]

and MW2019 was like 55 at my retailer

[ripe pike]

Why you bought it and why was it 45 ?

[bleak elk]

I bought it because I'm fucking done ith BF until next time

Why 45 ? because built different

https://tenor.com/view/xdding-gif-26519990

[ripe pike]

Me too fucking right but COD is even worse imo

[bleak elk]

mouse is working

therefore it's better

[ripe pike]

You partially stole it then

[bleak elk]

[charred quail]

bro got that employee discount?

he's working for activision

kill him

[bleak elk]

you sayin' that because i'm turk huh ?

[ripe pike]

Nah he just bought it to some street vendor in Portes-de-la-Chapelle

[bleak elk]

(I just had a discount at FNAC that i didn't used so might as well)

[ripe pike]

What ? No I didn't even know you were Turkish dude

[bleak elk]

Discount was wearing off for christmas and since i don't need anything from FNAC, i thought why not buy MW3 ?

[bleak elk]

[ripe pike]

Stop trying to make me feel like the casual French racist lad

[ripe pike]

Yeah there aren't many games worth buying at the moment moreover, not a fan of Spidey shit and other games are...

[bleak elk]

Don't worry I consider myself more French + fuck my country

[charred quail]

Fr*nch

[bleak elk]

Don't have a PS5 so...didn't need any electronics from there. Thought about getting a PS5 controller but eh..I did get an Xbox one earlier this month

so fuck it, MW3 it is

I'm ready to sweat

gonna win this public cashprize

[summer furnace]

lately I was playing mwii co-op

[ripe pike]

I got to buy a new PS5 controller but it's fucking expensive lol, XBOX controller look good af too

[bleak elk]

and it's cheaper + clean + no bullshit compatibility

and has niche uses

I was thinking about getting a "custom" one but eh

too expansive

[charred quail]

xbox is banning 3rd party controllers

[bleak elk]

designed this but 130€ for a roller I barely use...

[bleak elk]

Yup saw that news

good news

[lucid ocean]

Why tf does Alan Wake 2 have such bs jumpscares in the first 5 minutes

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

[next rapids]

man the story is good

[lucid ocean]

Intro was weird af

[charred quail]

oh boi you are in for a treat lmao

[lucid ocean]

How bad?

[charred quail]

I screamed a couple of times

lol

[lucid ocean]

Oh fuck

I’m not good at handling in your face jumpscares

[next rapids]

i'm not finding it that bad

[lost kelp]

File sorting simulator

Alan Wake 1 better

[elfin lark]

Be a competitive french racist

[ripe pike]

What do you mean ?

[lost kelp]

Fuck casual

We going RANKED

[charred quail]

who's winning the racism tournament?

[timid kindle]

Yea I wanted tell if this before but all the mw3 missions got leaked there’s 14 missions in total

[polar wren]

I got the American + German heritage I'm winning

[tribal crypt]

but are you blonde and blue eyed

[polar wren]

I'm a white Christian, that holds something

[summer furnace]

Peninsular Arab. honourable mention

[bleak elk]

So ..what's the deal about this MW3 leak ?

[summer furnace]

2 days later game can preload at 9am pacific time

idk

[sacred iron]

Bit late on that front, the game comes out in 2 weeks

[bleak elk]

yeah but people started to talk about campaign leaking but besides some screenshots

nothing fancy

• i don't really care that much about it but i don't want to be spoiled either because imma play it some day

[charred quail]

my teammate dealing 12 damage per round is making me lose my mind

[ivory onyx]

Skill issue?

[bleak elk]

https://tenor.com/view/jarvis-jarvis-skill-issue-skill-issue-gif-24471438

[charred quail]

I won but at what cost

having to carry some morons

[bleak elk]

at this point, it's any FPS games

the skill level has gone abyssmal over the years because of stronger aim assist/SBMM and such bs

no more git gud if you can just 'cheat' the system

[charred quail]

dude managed to get 12 adr and a whopping 20 utility damage throughout the whole cs match

it's impressive

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiM2OW6KP24

gameplay footage of avatar

[bleak elk]

looks generic

[charred quail]

yeah

[bleak elk]

[charred quail]

even as a sponsored video it's abysmal

jesus

[bleak elk]

like holy shit is this Far Cry but with more contrast and plants ?

[charred quail]

far cry but in a jungle

[tribal crypt]

Far cry but even worse performance

[bleak elk]

lmao

i'm sorry but Massive are great at making The Division but this and Star Wars looks generic af

Ubisoft not looking great recently

[charred quail]

losing more than half a billion euro will do that

[charred quail]

they probably got forced to make this garbage

because their main project is supposed to be the starwars game

[bleak elk]

Yeah...

but even the SW is not looking too fresh with what've seen of it

[charred quail]

they also stopped updating div 2 almost completely until recently. div 2 only got some new update after they announced the avatar game

literally made them stop working on their core live service game to work on some dogshit

div 2 is a live service, in case you've forgotten

because there's like zero update since forever

[bleak elk]

[charred quail]

story DLC coming this december btw

story DLC coming when the game is almost dead

LMAO

[bleak elk]

'story' being like just a more fleshed out season

[charred quail]

it will have cutscenes and new raids probably

[bleak elk]

Div 2 died rght after WoNY launched because they butchered the loot so people quit

(i'm one of them)

[cosmic jackal]

I started Division and Division 2 a while ago

Fogor to play them

[charred quail]

I came back for wony but after finishing the campaign the rest is just too grindy

[bleak elk]

and Div 3 is like in 4 years or more

[charred quail]

div is probably in hiatus at this point

unless that extraction f2p game does really well

which it won't

[bleak elk]

there is the mobile one

[charred quail]

[bleak elk]

and Heartlands is like...we don't know yet (game was so shit and the whole Tarkov like genre pretty much lost all hype)

and they just announced they are gathering the team for Div 3

so yeah...taking AAA dev time in this day and age, i'd say 4 years minimum before Div 3

[limpid cradle]

they added the spy from team fortress 2 to the finals

[onyx nest]

I still personally prefer div 1 for customization

It’s too bad that the game is 30fps on consoles

Division 2 has a lot of the div 1 gear sets though so the gameplay stuff is largely similar but with improvements

[onyx nest]

I’m honestly at least happy it’s gonna be a thing

I always wished division would implement a fully first person camera mode so that’s a new change that Ubisoft could maybe consider

[charred quail]

welp, Bungie's laying off people and delaying Marathon to 2025

destiny 2 dlc to June 2024

[timid kindle]

A halo bundle is coming to mw2-3

It comes with an energy sword charm

[charred quail]

fr?

[timid kindle]

Yea

[charred quail]

does it come with a battle rifle skin for the famas?

if it doesn't then it's dogshit

[timid kindle]

I think it does because the operator was holding a BR

[bleak elk]

AYO

where do you know this from ?

[polar wren]

I fucking knew this would happen

Nearly every Microsoft game or Microsoft owned game gets the halo treatment

Be it a bundle or Easter egg

[timid kindle]

Lol

Saw a leak on Twitter

[sacred iron]

gah why is the finals yet another game plagued with awful anti alisaing

And my first game had my team leaving

But regardless, the ttk and weapon feel in this game is fantastic

Just wish the mode was a bit more lively

[ripe pike]

Stop acting like you're not praying for their downfall

[wet sage]

kind of happy with the delay as it won't come out at the same time as ff7 rebirth now

[pseudo dove]

Got the new MLP sleeves in Arena.

[sacred iron]

The what

[buoyant granite]

https://tenor.com/view/the-meme-when-the-gif-21470450

[pseudo dove]

Sleeves.

Like what you put your cards in to protect them.

They usually have artwork on the back if not just a solid color.

[sacred iron]

Hm

Also, play the finals

It’s good

[pseudo dove]

Looks meh. I've been watching Shroud play it.

Even his skills can't make the game look fun.

[rapid summit]

I went back to play star wars battlefront 2 I kind of miss playing this game, I enjoyed playing as the clone commando

[sacred iron]

It’s genuinely the most fun game I’ve played in the last 2 years

[pseudo dove]

Strong words.

[sacred iron]

And this is coming from someone who’s not enjoyed any new fps in that time

[pseudo dove]

Tomorrow is the new update for BF 2042 and Apex.

[sacred iron]

There have been some good games, but post 2042 I just kind of gave up and stuck to aim trainers

But this is something I can sink my teeth into

[pseudo dove]

Try Magic the Gathering Arena.

It's E for everyone.

[sacred iron]

I’m not an avid card game enjoyer

[pseudo dove]

I'm addicted to it.

I grind my dailies on it everyday.

Gotta rake up gold.

Keeps my knowledge up-to-date on the new cards.

[sacred iron]

I can’t play games that require you to do daily stuff, would rather just play a game because it’s fun

[pseudo dove]

It's the same way I played MMOs.

I am addicted to gamification like Duolingo with their leaderboards. Makes learning a new language fun.

Just put a leaderboard on everything.

A global leaderboard and a friends group leaderboard.

Make a custom one too.

[bleak elk]

Bungie laid off their composer...

kek

[pseudo dove]

That's the only good part of their studio these days.

[sacred iron]

No!

Their music is fantastic!

Bruh

[bleak elk]

343 has to get the man

I mean...come on

[sacred iron]

Journey especially is such an absolute masterpiece

[bleak elk]

Imagine laying off such incredible talent

my god

and Bungie's CEO making a fool of himself on twitter

absolute clown show

[sacred iron]

There has to be some other reason right

You can’t just fire someone like that for no reason

[pseudo dove]

Did he move onto Respawn Games? Since most Bungie people left to work for Respawn who didn't go to 343 Studios?

[bleak elk]

I mean, when you're laying off your MAIN composer

there is something fishy going on

[pseudo dove]

They're using AI for composing music.

[bleak elk]

ew

really ?

[pseudo dove]

Idk. Probably.

[bleak elk]

They will, eventually

because why the fuck would you lay off your main dude otherwise ?

he is like 70yo, still making godlike music and he is laid off...

bruh

[sacred iron]

Didn’t he also work with Paul McCartney

[pseudo dove]

Maybe he went to work for Kojima Studios?

[bleak elk]

He did

[pseudo dove]

https://tenor.com/view/kojima-clap-kojima-gif-26545378

[bleak elk]

and I don't think any of the laid off people have found anything (yet)

so there is a bunch of talents in the wild for the industry to collect

I mean 343i getting back Michael Salvatori for Halo would be the smart move

[timid kindle]

Bros gonna play the mw3 campaign

[pseudo dove]

What does the i stand for in 343i?

[sacred iron]

Decimated, especially considering my opponent had 118 life points.

I bet they never thought I'd make a comeback.

[pseudo dove]

https://youtu.be/zryDEYgjkjw?si=fDqjGyHGoDlKA-_E

[sacred iron]

Hearing more about the situation of Michael Salvatori being laid off makes the whole thing even worse. Seeing how they explicitly said there would be layoffs following a restructuring and even put extra money into funding staff retention

I just…

How can someone that talented just be let go

The games industry is collapsing this year

Basically everything is either closing down or performing mass layoffs

[charred quail]

it was sudden, a dick move

sony seems to be crumbling, they are going to sell GoW and Uncharted on GoG soon

[austere sonnet]

How will this effect Sony stocks

[charred quail]

why are people asking for a physical version lol

without physical the game dropped 40$

it's so cheap for a AAA game

why would you want a physical version that costs 80$

[sacred iron]

That’s quite surprising actually

[summer furnace]

good riddance

[charred quail]

gamers like being abused I guess

[next rapids]

I don't get people who whine about physical releases

Yeah it can be a bit sentimental to have discs like the old days but

The game is literally cheaper

I was astonished when I saw how cheap Alan wake was

[sacred iron]

And the physical copy would just have you download the digital one anyway

[empty ivy]

It's really the matter of owning it.

But holy fuck.

A blue checkmark with the name playstation on it.

[next rapids]

Even the ownership argument doesnt work anymore

Discs are just physical keys, they can still revoke your access to games

[sacred iron]

exactly

[lilac moon]

Lmao, The Finals uses AI for its voice "acting". Embark Studios can fuck off into the sun for that

[lilac moon]

Nope, at least not for a majority of games.

[lilac moon]

I'm not buying AW2 because it's not on disc. I only buy singleplayer games physically.

[summer furnace]

I buy those digitally regardless

@next rapids buy, consume

[next rapids]

the demo was pretty damn good

might get it

[charred quail]

12-hour long, so kinda short for an open-world game

but if it's good I ain't gonna complain

[next rapids]

i don't really like super long games unless they're amazing

just gets boring

this might be a good length

[sacred iron]

bit like ac mirage in that sense

[charred quail]

this game looks good

[ivory onyx]

It helps when you can't see anything because it's so dark

[charred quail]

it's also pretty damn funny

[stiff panther]

what game is it

[charred quail]

Robocop

[ivory onyx]

Can you shoot the enemy in the dick?

[charred quail]

yes

[ivory onyx]

Goty

(are you familiar with the YouTube meme video?)

90% sure i'll buy it this week then

At first I was gonna say no way it’s 90% off

40% for the base game and 30% if you buy base + dlc thingy

I was planning to buy spiderman from the store but then I was like nah.

[latent moat]

It's ok they can go back to 343

They are having a Comeback now too

Get the original composer back who was also fired.

[bleak elk]

For the first time in years, I have a full stack of friends ready to tackle a new FPS all together

so that's poggers

[pseudo dove]

That's not very poggers of you.

[sacred iron]

Which game ‘ya playing?

[bleak elk]

the future GOTY

MW3

[timid kindle]

You got the game too

[bleak elk]

yes sir

[pseudo dove]

You bought MW2 again.

[bleak elk]

[pseudo dove]

How does it feel to get played like that?

[bleak elk]

Feels great

I don't have to play BF anymore

[elfin lark]

Ya know nothing was stopping you from quitting before

[bleak elk]

That's what I did, many times over

I got 'back' to check out the season but eh, couldn't stand the game anymore and it's getting worse as time passes so going unto new adventures

[pseudo dove]

Maybe FPS games just aren't your thing.

[bleak elk]

I hope you're not serious stating THAT while we're in maybe the worst the genre has been

• I don't have to announce myself like it's an airport

it is what it is

[pseudo dove]

Try an MMO instead. You might find it's something you enjoy.

[elfin lark]

Wish boundary worked out

Space fps is such a cool idea

[austere sonnet]

Hear me out

[pseudo dove]

Did you just say Starfield is cool?

[austere sonnet]

Cod ghost 2 with some space maps

[austere sonnet]

But fr tho same

[elfin lark]

Woah woah woah let us not get ahead of ourselves now

[pseudo dove]

Everyone who defended Starfield slowly realized it's bad.

[elfin lark]

Yeah that was funny as shit

You just gotta play for 12 hours before it gets good man!

If i have to play a game for over 1-2 hours before i start having fun then it isn’t a good game

[pseudo dove]

"Just wait till you get to the end for it to get playable."

No.

That's like digging through literal shit to find a vending machine toy.

[elfin lark]

Like watching a movie cause the last 20 minutes are decent

[pseudo dove]

You just described The Mist.

[timid kindle]

Ngl starfield has great aspects

But overall wasn’t my type of game

Lol

[elfin lark]

Ah silver, feels like it has been a minute

[timid kindle]

Lmao I been here

[pseudo dove]

It's sliver, not silver.

[elfin lark]

I know, i call em that anyways

[pseudo dove]

[timid kindle]

I spoke in here yesterday

😂

[elfin lark]

They gave me permission

[elfin lark]

Ah i guess you are forgettable

Or i wasn’t very active yesterday

Either or

[nocturne badge]

I enjoyed Starfield for a moment but that honeymoon phase went away real quick

Hopefully some good mods come out for it that really push the game to be something I'll actually come back to

[pseudo dove]

It's like hitting on an ugly chick with beer goggles.

[elfin lark]

Think people were trying their hardest to enjoy that game

Prolly just to dunk on the sony fans

[nocturne badge]

I was pushing myself to play it during my last hours, couldn't complete a run tbh

[pseudo dove]

[austere sonnet]

Need me some souls game mods on Starfield

[elfin lark]

Aye i reckon mods will make the game very interesting

[austere sonnet]

And some hardcore elements

[nocturne badge]

What sucks is that I have to install a mod for the aiming to feel good

something about the mouse input is fucked on the vanilla game

[elfin lark]

Bethesda moment

Though to be fair cyberpunk felt pretty much the exact same as fo4 for me

Veeeeery clunky

[nocturne badge]

Yeah that's something that drove me away from Cyberpunk as well

I get that they're RPG games but if the game has shooting as one of it's main sources of combat, it should feel 'good'

[elfin lark]

Exactly eh

That combined with fucking weapon levels made me quit

God do i fucking hate it when games will have the exact same gun but one does a lil more damage or shit

Melee combat was decent though

[sacred iron]

Ayo so they are going back. Not do day one though which is a missed opportunity

[steep tulip]

i mean i usually dont doubt leakers

actually no because the castle is gone

[charred quail]

jesus

[spark oxide]

the day 1 map was the best we've had

[next rapids]

Lmfao the day before got delayed again

Just can the game at this point

[charred quail]

they haven't done scamming yet

[sacred iron]

i thought they had to change the name because it got taken by another company

[charred quail]

it's bullshit, they made that up to delay the game, then recently said they "won" the lawsuit

[next rapids]

oh hold on

it's also releasing into early access lmaooo

[sacred iron]

sure signs of a successful project

[charred quail]

40$ for an "open-world MMO"

"No pre-order"
"we will be releasing the game in Early Access"

ok so which is it

Early Access IS pre-ordering

[lethal inlet]

naah, its more that u pay for being alpha/beta tester

[next rapids]

40 bucks

when alan wake 2 costs the same

they really have no idea what they're doing

also there are rumours that it might be an extraction shooter based off the trailer

and nobody is answering the question directly

dead on launch for sure

[summer furnace]

@charred quail you preloaded mwiii?

[charred quail]

yeah

45gb

[rough narwhal]

What trash teammates

[charred quail]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZCiab-qDAo

LMAO

starfield's dlss update is next week

fsr 3 to come later

[next rapids]

such a shame

amd really needs to get their shit together

releasing fsr 3 and starfield together would've been great

[charred quail]

yeah that was weird

picking the two horrible games to promote fsr 3 was silly

I forgot that alan wake 2 is going to have 2 story expansions post-launch

wonder how long it would take them to release those

[bleak elk]

Preloaded and ready

[hushed juniper]

good, they destroyed the game anyways

after the last major DLC, I didnt bother play anymore season.

[latent moat]

Woah

No wonder they layed off so many

[charred quail]

They laid off people based on poor earning estimation, then players protest by cancelling their pre-orders. Sales get worse, they lay off more people

bungie and sony are killing themselves

[next rapids]

good

[sacred iron]

marathon has such a strange concept I don't understand what it's meant to be

[charred quail]

It's Halo

Marathon 1 is just combat evolved but in a pyramid

Halo is Marathon reboot

[ivory onyx]

I saw an article headline earlier about mw3 being 243 gb? "and they dont care about you wanting to play other games"

[charred quail]

now they are trying to reboot the original marathon

[sacred iron]

it's supposed to be this large scale extraction type deal, but it's designed like no man's sky, driven by that 'personal story' as you can apparently have locations named after you, which implies it's some kind of endless extraction shooter

[charred quail]

and apparently it's kinda dookie

lol

[charred quail]

150gb in total

if you already have mw2 installed then 75gb

[ivory onyx]

wait

you mean its like a reskin of mw2?

[sacred iron]

it's a dlc

it actually is, and that cannot be argued

[ivory onyx]

ah true true

so its like 30- 40 bucks then yeah?

[summer furnace]

or buy a big size ssd 2tb+

[charred quail]

lol

[sacred iron]

I had to download a 70Gb launcher before downloading the actual beta

[charred quail]

mw2 maps are coming back too

it's literally a mw2 dlc

[summer furnace]

mwii really?

[ivory onyx]

with the way modern games are going..that will fit like 7 games

[charred quail]

yeah

shoothouse, the mexican market map, and farm 18 at launch

[ivory onyx]

ok real question whats more of a DLC....bf4 or mw3?

[charred quail]

then other maps coming as "seasonal content"

[ivory onyx]

theyre fucking drip feeding content thats already been made

[charred quail]

[ivory onyx]

thats fucking next level shit

at least dice waits until the start of a season to start working on the next content drop

[sacred iron]

at least dice actually develops

[ivory onyx]

but the downside is randomly we will just have our mice stop working

[sacred iron]

also, I don't quite know what they expected bringing tarkov people in to try marathon. I assume it's going to be more movement driven given it's a bungie title, but tarkov players are more about that slow paced stuff with a gritty art style

it's like giving an arma player fortnite and asking what they think

[charred quail]

at least they are taking notes

[sacred iron]

true

but it might be the case that they have to rethink everything for it to be appealing

[charred quail]

if it's polished and doesn't run like tarkov, there will be plenty of people playing

since it's also going to be f2p iirc

tarkov just runs horribly

on any hardware

[ivory onyx]

who cares how it runs

you have hackers every lobby wiggling at each other

[charred quail]

lmao

[ivory onyx]

and the devs give negative fucks about that lol

like maybe the spin botting hacker on the asia server in bfv eventually gets banned after 200k kills...but do the tarkov devs ever ban cheaters

[sacred iron]

bungie games for the most part have felt pretty good, destiny's gunplay is solid but it's gameplay loops are dull overall so I don't play it. But I'm not holding my breath

[ivory onyx]

its almost 2024 and i dont understand how d2 takes away content from you and you can never play it again

[sacred iron]

I got the forsaken dlc because I was genuinely interested, but they took it away so I'm never going back

I know i should have played it earlier, but It's still an awful model

[charred quail]

Destiny 2 is really polished, it's just the business model is so shit man

[ivory onyx]

wow i got scared there and thought you typed forspoken

[charred quail]

you pause for a season and they release a bunch of shits and take away your shit you already paid for

[ivory onyx]

was about to organize an intervention on your wallets behalf

[ivory onyx]

this is whats so confusing to me lol..like its worse than a BP system where you pay for it but cant grind to unlock everything so you miss out on what you bought

[charred quail]

here you pay for a video game and that video game is just gone after a while

lol

it's so bad

[ivory onyx]

do they ever like bring it back?

or is it straight up nuked

[charred quail]

nope

nuked forever

you can't play the original destiny 2 story anymore

[ivory onyx]

lmao wtf...literally

[sacred iron]

They do try to only remove stuff that's not played much, in an effort to remove file size, but if you are like me and have old dlcs they straight up rip it from you

[charred quail]

yeah

I basically lost everything I've paid for

[next rapids]

yeah

i bought like

all the d2 dlc some years ago

didn't play all of it and now i can't because it just doesn't exist anymore

such a joke

[bleak elk]

Just finished Halo battlepass right before MW3

noice

[wet sage]

The size of the game doesn't justify the content in D2 imo, space optimization must be poor.

[cobalt spade]

Is cod still gonna be released after every year? Microsoft owns them now

[sacred iron]

No clue

But considering they backtracked and lied about the 2 year schedule we can’t ever be sure now

[spiral void]

Destiny 2 has a lot of content but it's the type you can breeze through really fast

Huuuuge highly detailed visuals that you just sparrow past in 3 seconds

[cobalt spade]

Destiny 3 a PlayStation exclusive

[spiral void]

With the way it's going it wouldn't surprise me

[cobalt spade]

Their next game Marathon could be

[spiral void]

Ehhh

Could be but I foresee that being cross platform as it's f2p

[ripe pike]

I think it was revealed during XBOX event so no lol

[pseudo dove]

He got stomped.

I had so many creatures that they all glitched to not show up. It was like 150 creatures.

[polar wren]

https://youtu.be/XxUWci-iXCA?si=W6KVJ_t_ey0EEAWM

Going to be a very interesting game

I'm honestly surprised that a game about war of the worlds didn't really exist

[icy apex]

Is it worth playing if you just want the F2P content?

[spiral void]

Lol no imo

F2p destiny is basically a demo

You get the first mission of every campaign and limited access to the zones

[icy apex]

Ah that's not worth

[hoary lodge]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1080977482381008967/1169492771061649438/image.png?ex=65559a04&is=65432504&hm=2a76f79024acf6e7a59c61c169ef4ce6e2f5ac49a3e4f6297aa9855e0d795d10&=&width=2178&height=1284

wtf?

[stiff panther]

yeah its a huge game for no reason, you can choose not to install some parts of it though

[hoary lodge]

i thought u cant on pc

nvm

without mw2 and whorezone its 98gb

[onyx nest]

Whorezone lol

[eternal jolt]

The game feels even worse after the latest update! The sense of the mouse goes astray for a few seconds and returns to normal again, at this time the fps also jumps and returns to normal fps. The black screen is already annoying every 3 matches.

why is the game still so buggy after so many years

[summer furnace]

I can download mwiii campaign pack 1 and 2 even though I didn't pre order

[charred quail]

did you buy mw3

[summer furnace]

nope

[pseudo dove]

Don't you want MW2V2?

[summer furnace]

maybe, for non sbmm game modes

[pseudo dove]

[summer furnace]

I wish vanguard would come to essential plus so I can try it

like cold war did

[bleak elk]

I love being EU in Halo.......................................................

Sadge, I wanted some quick games before touching grass

[charred quail]

lmao

[summer furnace]

mw19 size is almost 380gb with mwiii campaign
would've been 400gb with caldera

[bleak elk]

why people acting surprised about the size of the game ? hasn't been like this for years now ?

they have like MW2 campaign, MP and Warzone + MW3 on top and act like it's too big

yeah no shit sherlock

game is literally the same size as any AAA nowadays

79Go is fine imo

[summer furnace]

an 8tb ssd would store almost 80 100gb size games

[timid kindle]

@charred quail mw3 campaign 51 gigs 💀

Mw2s is only 29

That’s more then mw2 remastered

I can assure you it’s because the open combat missions

[summer furnace]

damn this daylight saving, waiting an extra hour

not even my country has it

[empty ivy]

@ripe pike
https://blog.playstation.com/2023/11/01/playstation-stars-campaigns-and-digital-collectibles-for-november-2023/

[ripe pike]

I started it lol I got a few points

[high haven]

smoke it

[high haven]

wait how big is mw3 gonna be

[high haven]

speedruns will be like: run naked during winter, catch a cold, find a tripod, sneeze on it. win the game

i'm honestly sad we never got another war of the worlds movie. the atmosphere of that tom cruise one was amazing. just the main characters weren't likeable at all

[charred quail]

That's Brad Pitt

not Tom Cruise

unless I've been Mandela-ed

[high haven]

yer thinking of world war z

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxaYRGp1f4Q

[charred quail]

oh I actually thought of War of the Worlds

and it really was Tom Cruise

lol

[high haven]

hahha

[charred quail]

why did I think that it was Brad Pitt lmao

[high haven]

i dunno man 😄

but they kind did similar roles i guess

[charred quail]

there's a war of the worlds game coming out soon

[high haven]

the one of ze trailer i was commenting on?

it looks rough, man

i like the idea, but execution seems a bit eh

it's like generation zero with even less gameplay or variety 😄

except maybe the destruction part

if gen zero had destructable houses, it would've been a game changer

[charred quail]

gen zero has such amazing atmosphere

but the gameplay is kinda mid

also the excessive amount of dlcs lol

just painful

[high haven]

true xd

though some of it is nice

[charred quail]

walking in that game just makes you feel so alone

other survival games don't give me that kind of feeling

[high haven]

uhu

and then you go online with a radnom group of people. and suddenly learn what friendship means.. with guns

[timid kindle]

How are ppl playing the mw3 campaign but I have to wait till 1pm till it’s out

Like how’s that fair in anyway shape or form

[charred quail]

console physical copies

[timid kindle]

Lol

I think only digital gets the early acess

Doesn’t it

Tiktok spoiled missions for me 😐

I can’t scroll past anything without seeing the campaign

[charred quail]

people stealing physical copies from gamestop again

[timid kindle]

Lol

[charred quail]

there's the guy that did it with starfield and is now in jail for 5 years

[summer furnace]

you would think that should deter people from stealing; making them think twice before

[austere sonnet]

Needs to be nailed on a cross for his Tom foolery

how else will Todd make the new elder scrolls and retire and invest in fallout 5

[charred quail]

I think Todd will retire right after ES6 releases

[summer furnace]

doesn't even do a thing, honestly should be released

[austere sonnet]

He will

He stated it

[charred quail]

fallout 5 will be made by Hodd Toward

[bleak elk]

No, I eat the grass

[bleak elk]

It's like 79Go on PC right now but idk if there is the MP yet

[charred quail]

Rod Broward

developers at bethesda are praising him for being involved in the game making process (as his job is game director), redditors say that's bad somehow

imagine doing your job correctly

he even said that he doesn't want to be the decision maker for every little project but it all comes down to him

Reddit: Todd's bad

https://tenor.com/view/calculating-puzzled-math-confused-confused-look-gif-14677181

[austere sonnet]

Ngl are some of us gonna be alive when fallout 5 is out

[high haven]

yes, but they calling others smoothskins

[tribal sinew]

installing cyberpunk 2077 atm, anyone got tips

[charred quail]

play until you get access to the dlc then play the dlc

then go back to the main story

[tribal sinew]

yet he's supposedly always the one in the company telling the other devs to take the player experience into account, and not gimmicks and cash

[charred quail]

he's literally the best guy lol

people still mad because he's in charge

[tribal sinew]

yeah

[charred quail]

gamers are stupid

[bleak elk]

enjoy the ride

[tribal sinew]

i will bro

and thanks for the tip Cats, i uninstalled Starfield a few days ago, just want a different feel

[bleak elk]

if you can, crank up the RTX and PathTracing thingy

game looks really good

gameplay wise, don't focus too much on making a build min/maxed, most of it works and game is not very difficult

and what Cats said

[charred quail]

cp2077 dlc is probably cdpr's best game ever

[latent moat]

really?

I've heard nothing but great stuff about phantom liberty

I'll check it out then

[charred quail]

it really is amazing

[tribal crypt]

it big good

[charred quail]

mw3 campaign is awful

[stiff panther]

i heard there was a whole lot of stealth

like excessive stealth missions

[charred quail]

I'm at the second mission and just cringed real hard

oh god it's awful

[stiff panther]

$100 well spent

[charred quail]

[elfin lark]

That would fuck me over so much

Many a times have I hid in a house praying to Jesus as the bots make ww2 sound like a joke outside

Would be cool as shit though

[timid kindle]

Lmao I only seen two mw3 guns the enemy use and it’s either the pkp or scorpion

[charred quail]

I can't stress how terrible this campaign is

[timid kindle]

It’s all mw2 guns

[charred quail]

this is sad

[timid kindle]

[elfin lark]

Tell me son, did they bring back ghost squad

[charred quail]

shooting is fine but the story is just so so so bad

[timid kindle]

Shadow company is an Ally again

😂

[elfin lark]

Ahh of course

Hey we betrayed y’all, anyways

[timid kindle]

The first mission wasn’t that bad

[elfin lark]

Pwease don’t remember that time we massacred that Mexican village

[charred quail]

with the way things go, they could be the enemy at the end of the game

[elfin lark]

Lmao they betray you again

That would be bloody funny

Can’t wait for mw4 to release and have them cool with you again

[timid kindle]

I like how they use the vaz and ak545 more in this campaign

Lol

rarely saw an enemy use a vaz in mw2

[summer furnace]

vaz, these enemies going cdl mode

@timid kindle hardcore shipment is back

[timid kindle]

Don’t need it

I have orion

Lol

[ripe pike]

How can you know ?

[charred quail]

I'm playing it

[ripe pike]

How ?

When did it release ?

[ripe pike]

Imagine getting the best intels on the world and being one of the most powerful unit but you can't learn a lesson and get betrayed by the same fucking idiots twice

[charred quail]

today

[ripe pike]

Which mission are you at now ?

[stiff panther]

even though I (and others) may not like MW3, please be sure to not spoil anything

[charred quail]

like the 4th one

not gonna spoil it, not that there's much to spoil

you gotta experience this garbage yourself

[ripe pike]

Spoil anything so people aren't interested in buying it anymore and you save hundreds of people from buying this pile of crap

[stiff panther]

[ripe pike]

Lmao that kinda says it all

[austere sonnet]

Ghost didn’t die I see

[ripe pike]

Don't talk too soon mate, maybe he dies at the end of the game

Sorry

Hopefully he dies at the end of the game

[charred quail]

it looks pretty

I'll give it that

[austere sonnet]

I bet you

Soap dies

[ripe pike]

Please ! May this fucking piece of shit die

[austere sonnet]

Ngl I’ll also say Alejandro also dies as well as Shepard

I better be right on these lads deaths

[charred quail]

OH BOY, Yuri looks like a little twerp

this is hilarious

[austere sonnet]

I bet you

Nvm wouldn’t make sense

[austere sonnet]

Hear me out

[charred quail]

bro looks like he forgot to eat those multivitamin gummy bears

[ripe pike]

I hope both die

[austere sonnet]

Ghost and roach are a cute couple and they died on mw2 and well soap and price are a cute couple too

this truly will be a poetic death

[ripe pike]

May they all die bro

[austere sonnet]

but then we need a mw4

some must live so they can die in mw4

Hands down ghost is the final lad standing with idk yuri

[ripe pike]

We keep the best and most enjoyable deaths for the end, Farah, Valeria, Gaze and please Laswell too

[austere sonnet]

I forgot farah was a thing

[ripe pike]

Problem is I didn't, and so I want her dead

She's annoying af

Her big nose is alerting enemies and her character is cringe

[austere sonnet]

honestly iirc I didn’t really finish mw1 because of her her mission weren’t really pog for me

[elfin lark]

I’ll be surprised if Alejandro doesn’t get ganked

[charred quail]

Alejanwho?

[tribal sinew]

so i played cyberpunk for like 90 minutes

first time i try the cyberpunk genre really and im not sure i like it lol

it feels too "big", like so much info everywhere

[timid kindle]

I still want Alan wake 2

[ripe pike]

Felt the same when began Cyberpunk but you get used to it after 5 hours in the game

[tribal sinew]

also the performance is very strange

i had to limit my fps because it went up to 650 fps at once point and tried to blow up my pc

thjen it went back down

[ripe pike]

Once you get to visit the map and discover activities and stuff you understand better

[tribal sinew]

i'll see if maybe i feel differently tomorrow or something

maybe cyberpunk as a genre isnt for me

[tribal crypt]

have you even completed the intro mission

[tribal sinew]

i dont know how long it is

[ripe pike]

Intro is several missions long

[tribal sinew]

i just lost my job and there was a weird cut scene and now im in a tutorial

[ripe pike]

Intro is approximately like 5 hours if you complete all intro missions and take your time like I did

[tribal sinew]

bruh, steam refund is max 2 hours

and i spent like 45 minutes on settings and character reaction

[rapid summit]

https://youtu.be/vHqrtC9hxRo?si=Z9ascB-vlFz6kHxu

[charred quail]

I was right about the mw3 campaign's length, it's about 4 hours

[stiff panther]

you finished?

[charred quail]

about to

okay, big oof at the end

[timid kindle]

Lmao

I beat it too I don’t see an oof

[charred quail]

it's kinda expected but still

was expecting them to not kill off anyone

lol

[timid kindle]

💀

[charred quail]

this campaign is shit tho

the worst

[next rapids]

is it more cringe than ghost team

[charred quail]

yes

[next rapids]

incredible

[charred quail]

incoherent, jumbled mess

[timid kindle]

Yea it’s not that great

lol

I just want multiplayer

[charred quail]

it doesn't resolve a goddamn thing

they are going to put more story into warzone, aren't they

[timid kindle]

Prob

[charred quail]

finished it, exactly 4 hours

if you are not interested in the multiplayer, don't buy it

[next rapids]

4 hours is insane

[charred quail]

Brian Bright made Infinite Warfare zombie and Extinction

[next rapids]

lmao

[timid kindle]

Lol

@charred quail

Is there a post credit scnee

[charred quail]

yes

[timid kindle]

Alright

[charred quail]

you can watch it in the Cinematic tab

[timid kindle]

Wasn’t expecting that 💀

Welp veteran time

Achievement hunting away we go

[charred quail]

are you on ps5?

[timid kindle]

Xbox

[charred quail]

lol, ps5 has no platinum for it

since it's a mw2 dlc

[timid kindle]

So it has no achievements

Bc Xbox does

90g for beating the game

[summer furnace]

just the platinum trophy, it's only for the looks

[timid kindle]

Oh

Bc the Xbox has an achievement for veteran

[summer furnace]

trophies never gave rewards

[timid kindle]

Lol

Alright thee open combat missions on veteran are gonna be a bitch

Basically have to use stealth

@charred quail do gulags like the on operation 627 actually exist in real life

[charred quail]

Yes

[timid kindle]

Ah

We’re bad ppl go

[ivory onyx]

wait until bro finds out about the japanese unit 731 from ww2

[timid kindle]

Huh

[sacred iron]

So I heard the campaign is out

How many missions are just clean house again

[onyx nest]

[timid kindle]

Not many

Only one I witnessed was the first

[sacred iron]

that's a nice surprise

[onyx nest]

I hope sledgehammer created an at least interesting story

[timid kindle]

The ending was Unexpected 😂

[onyx nest]

[charred quail]

Interesting is an interesting way to put it

Don't buy it for the singleplayer campaign

[ripe pike]

What's Ghost team ?

[elfin lark]

Bunch of main characters temporarily went rogue or something and all put on ghost masks

[ripe pike]

I recall it now it was the fucking cringiest moment ever in MW campaign

[elfin lark]

It was

[ripe pike]

They all tried to do it like Power Rangers

[elfin lark]

Especially when they comment on ghost taking off his mask

[ripe pike]

Like seriously, how can someone find it cool ? Maybe some 14yo playing COD for the first time ?

[ripe pike]

That fucker should keep his mask at all costs lol

[elfin lark]

They should have shot the fucker

He looks so damn stupid

I’ll never forgive them for changing his looks the way they did

[timid kindle]

Lmao

[timid kindle]

I love ghost

[elfin lark]

I am very disappointed in you

[latent moat]

tbf that's cod's target audience now

[latent moat]

https://tenor.com/view/captain-price-punch-gif-19248454

Someone was able to finish the mw3 campaign in under 3 hours

You can't convince me this was not originally DLC

[latent moat]

https://tenor.com/view/ghost-mw2-ghost-mw2-ghost-mw22022-ghost-modern-warfare-gif-27187256

[timid kindle]

I love ghost

Tho

One of the best characters

[ripe pike]

Idk even at 14yo I don't think I was immature to the point I would like that kind of stuff

[latent moat]

oh I thought you mean cod ghosts

the game

[timid kindle]

Lmaox
