facts

honestly consoles cheaters is way more than PC cheaters

but everyone shits on PC and blame PC for everything. im just saying they will still complain even if crossplay was never a thing.

[spark oxide]

the first insult is so good

[charred quail]

lol

[charred quail]

live match right now, don't know if this guy is cheating or not but he just traced me through wall whilst hiding in a corner of the map

probably not even cheating since the aim assist on controller is broken and can lock onto people behind wall

[random tartan]

basically

[charred quail]

does ricochet even work on console

[random tartan]

i doubt it. its mainly a PC thing, i think 🤔

[charred quail]

yeah people still think that cheating on console is difficult when you can buy cronus and aimbot usb sticks from ebay for 15 bucks lol

[tribal crypt]

regular controller is good enough

dont even need any of that

[charred quail]

snd is so fucking dead, had 3 afk guys on my team so I left

[charred quail]

that's a pretty undemocratic, slanderous statement

[spark oxide]

Creek had 50k soldiers a couple days ago, then the moment a new sector reveals itself they all migrate there instead

idek wanna know the death-count of Creek

[tribal crypt]

100k minimum

[charred quail]

rescue mission on impossible is well

impossible

lmao

[charred quail]

the stratagem scrambling modifier is so ass

literally unfun

[stiff panther]

yep

unfun is the exact right word

[charred quail]

playing on Impossible having to fight against 4 tanks and 4 hulks at the same time and I could not call in airstrikes

[next rapids]

it's annoying but at least you can see what you're about to call in

[charred quail]

yeah when it's calm it's annoying but when I'm being chased by 2 flamer hulks it's really annoying

[stiff panther]

you ask for an eagle 4 times and you get your recoilless 4 times

it's bad

i love the difficulty and challenge and "hell" of helldivers

but NOT THE SCRAMBLE

i would rather fight 10 chargers at once

[charred quail]

I would prefer it if they scramble the codes instead

just make the call-in codes random

[stiff panther]

yes

[charred quail]

what do you want

you need to fuck off

[polar wren]

Lmao

Who was it

[buoyant granite]

some weirdo who joined the server yesterday

[charred quail]

yeah asking for bf cheats then when told to fuck off said he was joking

[buoyant granite]

I wonder why the mods let people like this chill here ngl

[charred quail]

Last Epoch's server is fucked

they are also suffering from success

they have more players than PoE on steam, which is 2/3 of the PoE playerbase

[stiff panther]

don't worry, i see what's happened 🙂

[random tartan]

SHG is the best next to Treyarch. its activision and IW's fault on why cod games suck

[onyx nest]

IW got pretty stubborn with MW2, but since they brought us the original MW trilogy and MW19 i do sorta like them

[random tartan]

the IW team changed after MW19

blame the IW team its leadership

IW is also behind SHG telling SHG what to do for MWIII

[onyx nest]

Small correction sledgehammer i believe led development for MW3 2011

[random tartan]

yes but in reality its IW

its IW's game. they threw SHG on it because MWII was lacking

activision and IW treats SHG shit like in a abusive relationship. SHG been wanting to make their own for for a long time now. and they cant even do that

[onyx nest]

I definitely can’t comment on much there personally but it wouldn’t surprise me

[random tartan]

thats basically what been happening to SHG.

remember VG??

activision told SHG to make a game within 8 months. not even much time to work on a game like any other cod game out there

thats why VG felt rushed and not polished when it came out

[onyx nest]

I remember the fiasco about its theme but that was about it, 8 months is crazy though

[random tartan]

i honestly feel bad for SHG in general. also SHG recently told activision they need more time on a game due to MWIII development, it wasnt enough time for them. so SHG have a cod game in the future i think its 2027 or some year after COD: Black Ops Gulf War.

im hoping they actually can make their own game this time. set for IW and activision telling them what to do behind the scenes

also for MWIII, since IW is behind the scene telling SHG what to do on the game itself. because they dont want SHG do better than IW. if SHG does better than them at their own game. its gonna make IW look bad.

SHG wanted to do so much more things to MWIII like OG prestige system, maybe pick 10 class system back and ect like old cod games again. because thats what we want as a community. IW shut that down real quick.

SHG and Treyarch is communities favorite dev teams. IW fell off when it came to MWII. due to them being anti community/feedback. IW dont give 2 fuck about you but their game and money income. @onyx nest

i love IW. i dont like how they operate with the community. their leadership is also terrible.

IW now isnt the same IW in OG cods or MW19

[polar wren]

I ain't reading all that

[timid kindle]

Observer is back

[random tartan]

basically, SHG been getting fucked by Activision and IW... like forever now. Treyarch and SHG is communities favorite Dev Teams. and IW now is trash compared to MW19 and before for cods.

[random tartan]

wasnt SHG last game was AW before VG. if so after AW, SHG been getting fucked since. i know they made a new studio or sum like that after AW.

[shut wigeon]

Their game before vanguard was ww2

[next rapids]

advanced warfare, ww2, then vanguard

[shut wigeon]

And ww2 was a lot better in every aspect than Vanguard

[random tartan]

thats right, my bad

[shut wigeon]

Looked good. Maps were good. Third person destiny tower like lobbies were good

Vanguard was utter shite compared to it.

Second worse cod after ghosts

[random tartan]

it was rushed with 8 months due to activision

[timid kindle]

Ghost wasn’t even that bad

At least it didn’t have loot boxes 🤷‍♂️

At least the game had actual dlcs

[random tartan]

ngl i loved cod ghost. i wish the big huge maps was abit smaller

everything else i loved

the class system was the best in ghost. loved the pick system and every perk is broken up into induvial perks. specialist is my fav kill streak system in every cod. especially ghost due to amount of perks in the game.

[onyx nest]

Ye I get what you’re saying for sure, I don’t allow the original MW games and MW19 blind me at all

[onyx nest]

Maybe MW3 will convince Activision to let up on them?

[random tartan]

SHG always tries their best

[elfin lark]

Ghosts was good

Got a lotta hours playing splitscreen against my dad with that game

[onyx nest]

All I really know about ghosts is the meme about their fish ai

And yeah the gigantic maps

The castle map sucked

[sacred iron]

these things just don't want to die

[cosmic jackal]

Shoot them in the lower spine/crotch

Less damage than heads but will kill, no armour

Heads are hard to hit but if you do you can drop them quick

[sacred iron]

I just think with the way recoil works in this i'll try and focus on the body

[cosmic jackal]

[sacred iron]

maybe eventually I'll figure out if there's some sort of pattern, but it's just so bouncy

From the sheer douchebaggery he puts out in the game

starts shooting

"there's a patrol right there make sure to sneak by"

sprints into them

too many people play this game like it's cod

[charred quail]

yeah sneaking is the better way to play but people just like to shoot at things

i feel like most people don't realise stealth is even a thing

you can sneak past even if they look your way and start scanning

helldivers

one guy was talking about how the strat scramble modifier was badly designed and this guy disagreed and started acting high and mighty while insulting them

[charred quail]

lmao

[next rapids]

then i'm talking to someone else and he goes "don't listen to him, he's not done a helldive yet" saying he looked me up on some website lmao

now he says me and the guy talking about the modifier are alts and we have the same ip

pathetic

[charred quail]

how tf do you even check someone's IP on discord

[next rapids]

dunno, but obviously they're trying to flex and scare us into thinking they can do something

[charred quail]

[charred quail]

I just want to see the robot labour camp

[void birch]

The only good automaton is a dead automaton

[charred quail]

they should add a mode separated from the live war thing so we can play around with all the planets

active campaign system like this only works when there are enough players participating in it

[next rapids]

yeah in the vladis sector, two sectors right from where the bots are

[next rapids]

devs control the overall progress so i hope things still keep moving even after a while when player counts are low

[charred quail]

would be certain loss for defense campaigns if the player counts are low

200k people and we are still losing lol

[rough narwhal]

How are people so bad

[next rapids]

that's what i mean, they can tweak progress and liberation rate

to the point where with 50k players we will struggle but still make progress

[charred quail]

I need to play more

[next rapids]

same i've almost maxed everything out except ship upgrades, progress is slowing now so i'm not as eager to play

[spark oxide]

Don't you do it all solo too?

i've been playing some medium missions solo, super calming actually

[void birch]

I've soloed extreme against bots, but I prefer playing with my friends

I'm comfortable enough with staying behind and covering my retreating friends from tanks using my railgun. Did it the other day. Nobody died, got the achievement.

[spark oxide]

i've only one shotted a tank/hulk once with the railgun, felt so good

[charred quail]

I still haven't unlocked the railgun

[void birch]

I've had to dump 6-7 shots into tanks, and 3-4 to hulks
They aren't scary anymore

Find a rock, and you can pop out, shoot, pop back in, and the tank can't do much

[next rapids]

hulks are easy if you have good aim, just one shot right in the eye

[void birch]

https://tenor.com/view/zendaya-taking-notes-graham-norton-show-gif-24028470

safety off > boom

that's what i did, but ion know if my aim is good enough to make it consistent

[ivory onyx]

Ran into the hulk(?) Enemies last night..oh God stop agroing that people we aren't equipped enough for this

[sacred iron]

Beginning to understand the benefits of stealth now

Although im still at the point where im learning the general strategies to beat the individual enemy types :/

[next rapids]

stealth is essential on higher difficulties

too many people try to go in guns blazing on every patrol

then they get 5 drop ships called and we waste 10 minutes

[sacred iron]

And the art of jiggle peeking, definitely effective against the bots

I found I’d be spending too much time kiting when that just leaves me exposed for too long

[charred quail]

use the shield pack

it's op

[rocky grove]

sure

[spark oxide]

[next rapids]

basically necessary for bots tbh

[charred quail]

I haven't tried the ballistic shield yet, I believe it has infinite hp but you have to use the smgs and it only blocks your front

[next rapids]

man infinity blade just got an unofficial port to pc and i'm in love, really hope 2 and 3 can get ported eventually too. This shit was golden era mobile gaming

[next rapids]

it's kinda ass

[charred quail]

oof

[spark oxide]

it's strong

[charred quail]

lmao

duality of men

[spark oxide]

great against most bots

bad against rocket bots

[next rapids]

not worth giving up a two handed weapon

[spark oxide]

they knock that shit outta your hands

shield + the one handed SMG

[next rapids]

energy shield protects 360 and prevents ragdolling even against rockets

and you can still run 2 handed

[spark oxide]

aye, but the shield is cooler

@spark oxide wanna help with the reload rn real quick

the iphone game?

man I thought people forgot about that game

[next rapids]

yeah that's the one

i could never finish it because it was too hard, finished it yesterday on pc in like an hour and a bit lol

[charred quail]

unless someone happens to have a super rare old iphone that hasn't connected to the internet in the past 10 years

[next rapids]

some people probably have old phones with ios 12 and the games installed, not that it'll help much though

[void birch]

@sacred iron @next rapids I've told the story before, but after soloing extreme, I went back and finished an impossible operation with my friends. They went in guns blazing, took out like 2 optional objectives together. I dipped, snuck around the map, and soloed the 3 main objectives and 1 optional by myself

[next rapids]

lmao nice

[charred quail]

there hasn't been a daily quest for like days, right?

[void birch]

When we went for helldive, we split up 2 and 2. My duo took out 2 main objectives before the others had even reached their first.

[next rapids]

ye it's kinda bugged

[stiff panther]

i think i just got one yesterday

not sure

[next rapids]

sometimes i try to go off on my own and do side stuff, meanwhile my teammates are off killing random bots

So far I've had the game just hard crash to desktop when the mission rewards screen was about to appear, then when I was quitting it locked up
The bug with keybinds bound to Num pad keys resetting to something else has been far more impactful

[charred quail]

I don't even have a numpad to bind keys too

[polar wren]

Man how many inde game Ws are we going to have this year

[rich tundra]

Me waiting for assassin creed red from an indie dev team Ubisoft

[polar wren]

Ubisoft can suck a pair

[ivory onyx]

Hey they're developing the first 5A game you be nice

the store page will be amazing

[polar wren]

In choices to pirate.

They say we can't own their games then they don't deserve our money

[lost sluice]

i just finished the story of tekken 8 btw. had to figh kazuya like 10 times in the end

became abit too much

its a good beat them up otherwise

im only warrior in ranked tho

i keep watching this pro tekken player on twitch who can beat people in the top ranks by only pressing one attack button

how do u even get that good?

[summer furnace]

What's his name

[lost sluice]

tk_anakin / toxicman

hes known as one of the worlds best tekken 7 players

[summer furnace]

[lost sluice]

hes online on twitch right now

lol

[random tartan]

Facts. It’s finna be fire due to it being in Japan

[rich tundra]

I don't know if it could beat the Italy of ac2 and brotherhood

[random tartan]

Prob not. I’m hoping it have multiplayer. I miss assassin creed multiplayer

[rare thorn]

Who needs Japanese assassins creed when you can just play Ghost of Tsushima

[rich tundra]

Unity did nice attempt

4 players co op
If only newer games could be enjoyed like that

[rich tundra]

Not on pc bro

[polar wren]

Honestly I would prefer a wild West assassin creed over feudal japan.

Cowboys over samurai

[rich tundra]

Ninjas and samurai over cowboys anyday for me

[polar wren]

That's you, but me, I don't find samurai that interesting compared to the outlaws and cowboys, including the native Americans

[rich tundra]

We have rdrii

Brilliant game

[polar wren]

Finished it

Need new game

[rich tundra]

Play it again

[polar wren]

Tried, got bored.

[rich tundra]

Happens

Waiting for gta 6

[rich tundra]

It's not just me actually ac community asking for a Japanese setting for so long and finally it's happening

[polar wren]

Is there actual evidence that MAJORITY of the ac community is wanting a Japanese setting or is it just a false consensus.

[rich tundra]

Just go to comment sections

I am interested in ac hexe as well it's going to be different

In hexe we will be playing as a witch

It's going to be the darkest ac game

[random tartan]

I’m talking about PvP

[random tartan]

Always

[random tartan]

I think AC3 or unity had PvP

[rich tundra]

I only finished story of unity and played little bit co op mission which was great

[random tartan]

Unity is one of my fav. Due it explaining how the simulation works. The back end of the big ongoing project.

They basically made a game, describing a world that developed the game/simulation. And they did it perfectly and the story of it.

[rich tundra]

I like it because of the graphics and arno elise relationship

[random tartan]

True, the amount of things you can do in it is amazing 🥲

[sacred iron]

Conceptually the idea of having a brotherhood in cowboy times could be interesting, but I can't see it being able to make parkour a considerable part given you know, the desert and all

[random tartan]

Desert You say? we have mirage and odyssey. But I can’t see cowboy being a thing in assassin creed. Unless Ubisoft Bordeaux proves me wrong

[polar wren]

I think it's better to have it set in California

In the time of the gold rush

Which can be perfect for an assassin creed game

[polar wren]

Because you didn't look into it good enough

Gold rush California is the best and most logical place and time for an assassin creed game

Make a story where the templars have taken good control on the many popular gold mining spots in California, looking for gold and something else, related to the large quantity of gold in California, and mix in some Native American folklore to explain the mysterious item.

There's your ac story

During the time of cowboys

Oh and to fix the city problem, have the main area in San Francisco

The city grew so damn fast during the gold rush

Not sure how y'all missed this event

[shut wigeon]

@timid kindle

[ivory onyx]

wtf is that gameplay..

[austere sonnet]

Shit looks staged as fuck

I mean he ain’t wrong

But IW and Activision don’t like SHG either way

Even tho treyarch and SHG is communities fav

[elfin lark]

Exactly lmao

You can guarantee all of us would get our asses smoked if we tried that

[sacred iron]

Could also relate to the masyaf keys again or another isu artifact rather nicely

Even if the whole ‘mining operation’ thing has been done before

[ivory onyx]

it probably helps that your heart isnt about to explode from your morning gfuel enema, and snorting adderall

[rich tundra]

Awful sounding story tho

[polar wren]

Most modern ac stories are awful so nothing will really change

[rich tundra]

You have to play origins it's a good story

[polar wren]

That game is like 6-5 years old

It's ok but it's not black flag

Also the gold rush idea was thought about in like a few minutes

Completely unrefined

But it has potential

[rich tundra]

You can play Odyssey that also has good story just the game is very long

[rich tundra]

True

[timid kindle]

Who’s getting mw3 season 3

[dim trench]

stardew valley on sale again. finally bought it. might be interesting while listening to music

[rough narwhal]

i couldnt get into it, just seems like a boring single player survival game?

id rather play valheim with friends

[dim trench]

i never bene able to get into valheim. No friends

[polar wren]

Damn

Also I missed the community event today so I came in late. I leveled up my merchant alliance to 46-47

I would've gotten 48 if I didn't miss it

Just a few more missing shipments and I'm pirate legend

Actually I think if I can do 4-5 missing shipments

I get level 50 on merchant alliance

[shut wigeon]

I’ve seen this Japanese face mask before. From which game is it from?

[sacred iron]

Even origins’ story isn’t that great

Out of the Ezio games, 2 was the only one that actually felt like it had some substance. Brotherhood butchered its villains but the actual assassin building up plot was fairly decent. And revelations as a more character driven, personal story was quite nice as a change of pace. Until they injected loads of set pieces and the destruction of an entire city without batting an eye

[dim trench]

i thought it used to be an emoji here. lol thats where i saved it from. maybe was another server

[polar wren]

Glad this server ain't run by pathetic mods.

[polar wren]

Wait, there's more?

[latent rock]

mods on here seem chill

[sacred iron]

Last time I heard they were all role playing as military commanders or something

[polar wren]

And I'm glad for that

[polar wren]

OH BROTHER

Apparently from what I heard, most of them are reddit mods which explains alot

[charred quail]

mods aren't roleplaying, the users are

helldivers 2 mods are just inexperienced

[sacred iron]

Yeah I want referring to the mods

[charred quail]

during the first week someone asked for a pride flag cape, got attacked by bigots, mods banned bigots, bigots shamed mods, mods banned discussion of gender identity

like, take a fucking stance

being against bigotry is the easiest stance you could take

if someone complain, ban them, why are you backing down

[polar wren]

Bruh

Actually inexperienced

Man can't wait to see the future updates after build 42 for project zomboid I wonder how alive the game would be with the NPCs after those future updates

I bet with a dedicated rp server, they can make the game into the walking dead

[empty ivy]

Oh yeah the helldivers 2 discord fiasco.

I overheard that that guy was a rogue mod.

Oof

PS5 sales got them good

Didn’t they pushed back games till next year or so due to them not meeting their finical goal/threshold

[summer furnace]

This year it's just second party exclusives

[random tartan]

Ngl, PlayStation should have taken the Xbox strategy long time ago. They are late and copying their ideas. It’s just funny to me. Exclusives don’t help you succeed but it’s nice to have. Not a primary focus

[sacred iron]

a lot of them seem to be so story driven too

Like the linear, railroady kind

[charred quail]

[summer furnace]

https://sonyinteractive.com/en/news/blog/an-important-update-from-playstation-studios/

[ripe pike]

There aren't many PS exclusives anyway nowadays, sure the few there are are fucking incredible but it's just not a strategy in itself

[random tartan]

I enjoy them a lot but yea, it’s not a strategy nowadays. Since people want to play on their preferred platform

Xbox is doing the strategy easily since they own windows. I wish their was a PlayStation alike app on PC that’s is alike Xbox app. That would be dope to see.

[charred quail]

got another cod cheater banned

[ripe pike]

Yup but those greedy ass mfs don't want to take any partnership I think lol, I was surprised af that Helldivers 2 was both PS and PC exclusive

[ripe pike]

Rectification : got another innocent player banned after he did nothing wrong

I'm joking

Wasn't even there

[charred quail]

suck to be him then

[ripe pike]

I guess so, still many cheaters in COD ?

[charred quail]

lol

the majority of console players are cheating

[ripe pike]

What ?

How is that even possible ?

[charred quail]

cronus/xim, no-recoil script

[random tartan]

I’m surprised as well. It’s crazy how PlayStation is now more invested in live service games now I’m glad to see more in general from them.

[random tartan]

You forgot stronger aim assist script also

[charred quail]

yeah it's easier to cheat on console than on pc now lmao

[random tartan]

That one gets abused a lot with no recoil. The worst combo to deal with

Facts

[ripe pike]

Yeah it's interesting but I'd like to see them take risks and revive dead IPs like SOCOM or Killzone

[random tartan]

[random tartan]

I get that a lot, it’s so annoying

[summer furnace]

Concord will be a new fps pvp IP

[charred quail]

is it the shitass servers or are these players that pathetic they would ddos the lobby

I've had people on my team ddosing the lobby in ranked because they were reverse boosting and didn't like that we were winning

[summer furnace]

https://blog.playstation.com/2023/05/24/introducing-concord-a-new-pvp-multiplayer-fps-from-firewalk-studios-coming-to-ps5-and-pc/

[random tartan]

Normal ranked stuff

[charred quail]

[random tartan]

It’s basically that everywhere in games nowadays. Before ranked is good, now it’s meh.

[ripe pike]

Lol I've never seen a trailer showing nothing like that

[random tartan]

The most fun game I have with ranked is Destiny 2. It’s stressful but very awarding compared to most games nowadays. Also Destiny 2 PvP is just better than most. The matchmaking is superior

Destiny 2 PvP is always a high skill ceiling unlike cod. If you wanna be good. Practice makes perfect.

This year has had some good bangers so far and Helldivers 2 is definitely one of them

Somehow, I have no clips of the game. But being chased by giant hordes of automatons is a scary fucking thing

i dont even know what else has came out

[random tartan]

I waiting for my game to drop. XDefiant and The First Descendent

Is gonna be my main games to play till next BF title drops. To add on top of cod and destiny 2. I average to keep up with 4-5 games per season kek

Everyone's favorite pal world

[rich tundra]

This year will be an amazing year for RPG fans bro so much stuff is coming like dragons dogma 2,elden ring erdtree dlc, final fantasy rebirth, dragon age dreadwolf (not sure if it is 2024 title or 2025)

Assassins creed red will be like RPG games

So counting that

[random tartan]

I think AC code name red is planned to release late 2024 to 2025

[rocky grove]

We losing the whole robot front in HD2

Even Mort going down

[wet sage]

Dragon Age Dreadwolf is the only game I'm looking forward too. They'll do a full reveal in the summer and I expect a late year release.

I wonder what took them so long

[charred quail]

it has been in beta for a long time in Asia

[charred quail]

them fighting with themselves

this is competing directly with cod mobile

[latent moat]

I disagree. This would probably require a phone with decent specs

Cod mobile can run on anything

[charred quail]

warzone mobile won't be cross-platform but it will be cross-progression

it will attract a lot of console and pc players who just want to grind the battlepass

Should i get the trench paramedic outfit in hell divers 2?

[charred quail]

if you like it why not

[stiff panther]

show

[high haven]

Hold my beer, ill make a pic

[charred quail]

get it, +2 stims is good

[high haven]

yea, currently using the warbond one which is medium armor, but as a democratic mission rusher i like the idea of light armor

[stiff panther]

if you want +2 stims, there is also the twitch drop torso

i think

[high haven]

yeah, but that's also medium armor :<

[charred quail]

yup

[stiff panther]

oh oh oh

sorry i kinda glossed over that

yeah

[charred quail]

medium and heavy would be nice for automation missions when they fix the armor bug

kidna surprised they havent

[high haven]

game has its bugs.... 😄

feck it i'll buy it

and thus the grind for the premium warbond continues ;lD

[charred quail]

I'm getting bored of the game

the mission variety is not there

[high haven]

i kinda have that variety due my types of friends. one just tries to friendly fire me, another likes to explore the entirety of the map and we always end up in the zero time space, another likes to tag along so i force him into the highest difficulties

[charred quail]

also progression through the warbond is so slow

[stiff panther]

what difficulty do you play on?

[charred quail]

7,8 now

but quickplay people on automation planets just skip missions

they only do the kill bot ones

it's not fun and only gives 7 medals

[high haven]

I only do bugs

[stiff panther]

oh.. they don't finish the operations you mean?

[high haven]

Their missions feels super easy

[charred quail]

yeah

[spark oxide]

to grind the 'kill' missions for samples, then they quit their campaign, which then reduces the control of the planet, and then they repeat

they complete the first mission and stop the current operation

ruining the game for the rest

[stiff panther]

oh i know about that part yeah

[sacred iron]

What’s the whole deal with the operations? I hear the announcer mention it but I just choose whatever mission I like on offer

[spark oxide]

you gotta complete all the missions in the set to contribute to the control of a planet

[sacred iron]

As in that yellow region?

[spark oxide]

yeah

all 2 or 3, depending on difficulty

[sacred iron]

Oh

[spark oxide]

otherwise each time you change operation we lose percentage

[sacred iron]

Um

[spark oxide]

best to work through it in a linear

[sacred iron]

Forget I said anything

[spark oxide]

Traitor!

[spark oxide]

say no more and i won't report you to the democracy officer

[stiff panther]

good thing 'freedom camps' are nothing more than rumors, right? 🙂

[sacred iron]

[next rapids]

this has been deconfirmed

abandoning operations doesn't decrease planet liberation

[spark oxide]

interesting

but it decreases the rate at which we can liberate

[next rapids]

tbh escort missions being impossible is probably doing more damage than farmers

lots of people just can't complete operations because escorts are too hard

those missions are easy if you take the enemies out of zone

Sony’s was only yesterday

superhero games need that kind of kickstart like arkham batman games did

it came out during a time superhero games were just run of the mill movie adaptations and then boom, an original story, excellent stealth game and a fun beat em up stuff

[sacred iron]

And there goes titanfall 3 again

[charred quail]

titanfall is owned by EA

not licensed

they said they are moving away from licensed games

so starwars, marvel

but titanfall 3 was never a thing anyways

apex is too big

they will never move away from it

[empty ivy]

What a dogshit industry.

[sacred iron]

Ah I see, wasn’t sure what they initially meant by that

[random tartan]

It’s crazy how many people expect Titanfall 3 to come out but apex is their biggest game rn. A lot of revenue. I don’t see Titanfall 3 coming out for a long time.

[sacred iron]

Hey, I’m just delusional alright

[random tartan]

Respawn themselves shutdown Titanfall 3 on their own. EA didn’t ask or make them do it. Blame respawn for that.

Did respawn said Titanfall 3 will be just alike Titanfall 2 with some changes/additions?

I know, I know. Just having a laugh

titanfall 3 would be ass anyway

the people that made titanfall 2 what it is are all gone

[random tartan]

Ye. They made to complete the first mission for the game and killed it off. Within 10 months

or rather, the design principles

[ripe pike]

I mean people are more looking for a Battlefront 3

[ripe pike]

Looks bad but it's classic EA dictatorship

[random tartan]

Respawn themselves said this. Not EA. Lmao 🤣 😂

[ripe pike]

Looks like they prefer Apex

[random tartan]

BR genre was popping off at the time. It’s better to fit in the crowd

And they did

[ripe pike]

Looks like it's still popping off because some pricks at Dice decided to make one for the third time in a row

[random tartan]

The most funny about it. EA didn’t even know about that.

[next rapids]

it's like they're trying to kill battlefield

br failed? yeah let's do an extraction mode. Extraction failed? yeah let's try br again

[random tartan]

Honestly just let battlefield be. BRs is already dying out.

[random tartan]

IMO Extraction is way better than your average standard BR.

[ripe pike]

Bro I'm seriously concerned about mental health of whoever is taking decisions at EA, it's like they want to repeat the failing wheel again and again

[ripe pike]

Sure, people just didn't want that + played like shit like all of BF2042

But yes

99% of studios give up on battle royales before they win big lmao

They can’t simply just listen to the community.

[ripe pike]

At least it's original

[random tartan]

They can do a lot better for it. It’s a great concept that they had, don’t get me wrong

[ripe pike]

Well they should just give up on it because I didn't see any prick amongst the BF community asking for a damn fucking BR mode

[next rapids]

battlefield just isn't made for br, wish they'd stop this nonsense and just focus on campaign and multiplayer like they always did

[ripe pike]

Nah they gotta "reinvent the wheel" and make a "connected" BF space lmao

[sacred iron]

CompElET REigmASGindGIng

[random tartan]

BR is good for couple years of its game’s lifetime. After that it gets so boring. A game last for years gets old over time. Surprisingly R6S is still holding up for its game’s lifetime.

[sacred iron]

tbf apex is decent. Good ttk, good movement, I'm just personally mad because titanfall got replaced by it :3

[ripe pike]

"You know it's about reimagining the wheel again and again" said the CEO prick about to kill the license once again

[random tartan]

Connected as in making the game last for years at this point. I can see it now. By making it as a long term live service game.

[ripe pike]

Yes and no, if they're about to make the worst launcher ever made like COD did they can fuck off

[next rapids]

r6 is lucky that they managed to grab the attention of the super competitive players

unfortunately it cost them the entire theme of the franchise

[sacred iron]

connected could mean so many things I'm literally clueless

Connected stories? The story already has recurring events and characters. Cross game play? Won't work, and portal replicates that anway. Connected launcher? Already did that. Like... huh?

[ripe pike]

Agreed maybe it's just me exaggerating but I personally see it as a "well we saw what COD did, we saw they're making money, we'll be doing same shit no matter what"

[random tartan]

R6S does a good job for its long term. Due to changing up the game and reworking so much stuff. Set for add something and barely touch it. Unlike WZ and Apex. O let’s add something old back and call it “new”.

[random tartan]

Cross play and new gen exclusive is what I’m expecting the most. I can see it rn.

[sacred iron]

I assume it just refers to the story, in which case I can see why they'd do it for the £ since all they needed to do is have one person with the personality of a wet towel to put on an accent and wear a skull mask and the community falls in love and gives them money

[random tartan]

Only thing I’m really hoping for is 128p. 64p is meh to me. Not enough action.

[next rapids]

rumours are they're sticking with 64p

[ripe pike]

Lol I like the wet towel personality part because you're absolutely right, actual COD "lore" and characters are complete bullshit and people somehow like it

Anyway Ridgeline has been shut down apparently guys

[next rapids]

it's almost funny, they try new shit every time and then scrap all of it for the next game

[ripe pike]

So

No campaign lmao

[random tartan]

I know. I’ll play it either way but 128p is just better

[next rapids]

cod lore is dressed up guys looking cool, the story is so fucking bad and nonsensical it hurts

[ripe pike]

I totally agree with that, 128 players was the only good thing BF2042 brought up, it was just poorly implemented because of terrible map design

[sacred iron]

I mean in every scene I've seen him in, he hangs around in the corner, doing absolutely nothing, yet he's the poster child

[sacred iron]

hol up

huh?

[random tartan]

Oof

[sacred iron]

I know lehto left, but the whole studio?

wait

is that to do with the layoffs

[ripe pike]

I agree, on older COD games it used to be fun and it made sense (a minimum at least lol) now it's just random events occurring for no reasons with cringe ass characters

[next rapids]

lmfaooo this game is already fucked before it even releases

[charred quail]

Makarov literally failed at everything he set out to do, only managed to kill Soap at the end then ran away

Mw3 story served nothing

[random tartan]

Major oof

[ripe pike]

Can confirm, played MW2 and dude was useless af unless for "tacticool" cutscenes

[sacred iron]

any other studios?

[next rapids]

a story in two parts

[ripe pike]

Seems like it, EA is laying off 5% of their effective

[random tartan]

Looks like Next BF title is 2042 part 2

[sacred iron]

dammit

[random tartan]

[next rapids]

can't wait for all the cinematic trailers to come out and everyone to put on the rose tinted glasses

[ripe pike]

Yup looks like it, bad news for this game have been accumulating those last days

[charred quail]

Seems like a nonsense article tbh. "Shuttering" when they appointed 2 new people as new directors to work on the narrative and moved some people to ripple to work on the actual development

That's not closure

That's just

Normal

It's not closing according to that article but the author keeps saying "closure"

Is she fucking stupid

[next rapids]

wtf

[charred quail]

I was confused reading it

[ripe pike]

Aren't Ripple Effect already making the campaign ?

[charred quail]

Yeah so they moved some people from ridgeline to ripple to support with development

And appointed some guys from criterion as new head of narrative

It's nowhere close to them closing down the studio

It's such a confusing article

The more I read the more confused I get

Now everyone on twitter is quoting this ign article and say criterion is taking over fully

And that ridgeline is really being closed down

I have no idea what's what anymore

[latent moat]

They really replaced Marcus freakin Lehto with some guys from Criterion.

[charred quail]

Kek

[sacred iron]

I am the big confusion

[random tartan]

Atleast the change of EA plans with their layoffs will be a positive impact of their current franchises set of making new future IPs.

[sacred iron]

I wouldn't say any of it is positive.
600 people lost their jobs
