a hyte?

Are you getting one of those display screens you can mount on it?

[polar wren]

Yep

It's the y70 touch

[latent moat]

[polar wren]

So yeah it has the screen

[latent moat]

nice

very good setup then

[polar wren]

It better be, it's 4,200 overall

[random tartan]

Why not a 4080 set of an 4090?

Great performance, not top tier but abit cheaper

Why 64gbs?

[latent moat]

If he has the money, why not go all out

[random tartan]

Rich boi chillin

[polar wren]

Well I plan on getting it with the new job. And I should get enough before the year ends

Maybe 2-3 months

Of work

To get everything I need

[latent moat]

Is that alienware monitor the standard 27in one

[polar wren]

Alienware

[random tartan]

Alienware is expensive asf for no reason

Eww 😷

[summer furnace]

There's 4080 super

I sent my slim ps4 yesterday for cleaning, just got it now

It costed $25

[latent moat]

Basically no difference between that and a regular 4080

But that's the most commonly sold one now so you might as well get that

[latent moat]

alienware make good monitors though

Their prebuilt stuff is rubbish though, yeah

[shut wigeon]

@rough narwhal it’s finally out! https://youtu.be/UfuAd0fjZvo?si=iLI7ROHIRuuW-aj3

[rough narwhal]

well shit

[shut wigeon]

I knoooooow not only that when I turned on my ps5 I saw I could just download it and play it cos I have ps plus extra

[rough narwhal]

i hardly game anymore

[shut wigeon]

:((

[shut wigeon]

She’s taking that much of your time? Or you’re just busy with work and other stuff at home

[rough narwhal]

all the above

[shut wigeon]

lol

That’s life

[rough narwhal]

for me to get 8 hours of work in, it normally takes me 12 hours

most of that spent taking care of her and feeding myself

[shut wigeon]

How many hours do you sleep

[rough narwhal]

8

[shut wigeon]

That’s good

So basically work and sleep

[rough narwhal]

yea, cant complain, i get a couple of hours at the end of the day for the wife and i

just basically no time for games

[shut wigeon]

It’s ok maybe once she’s older you can game again 🙂

Game together UwU

[rough narwhal]

dude i hope, ill pick up minecraft or whatever to play with her until shes old enought to play comp shooters

[shut wigeon]

That’s the spirit

She’ll be quick scoping 360 someone in no time and then tbag their corpse

[rough narwhal]

not sure what youre asking

my daughter is 1 years old

[polar wren]

I'm very confused

I thought you were talking about something else

Disregard everything I just said

When I was a teen I had bad manners in video games. I wanted to be as annoying as possible. Now I don’t care lol I’m also nowhere near as good anymore.

[rough narwhal]

i only bm in retaliation

but usually i just try for the win and then say "all that shit and you still lost"

https://www.ign.com/articles/suicide-squad-kill-the-justice-league-flop-leads-to-200-million-impairment-charge-warner-bros-confirms

[merry hearth]

Was honestly expecting new assault rifle and pistol be be med armor pen

For the new warbond

[ivory onyx]

deagle would invalidate the revolver

[merry hearth]

True

But it's also a deagle so sucks it's not med pen

The AR definitely should've been. It's just a liberator with less ammo in a mag

[ivory onyx]

did the eruptor get un fucked yet

FUCK we lost 75 cash because of a dead scientist ...as if that shit matters

[merry hearth]

No shrapnel but plus 40 explosive damage

[ivory onyx]

but it was bugged and doing shit for damage?

37 min mission and we didnt even get supers

fucker called us in right on an objective WHICH HAPPENED TO BE 100M AWAY FROM SHRIEKERS...what a way to start off a 3 man run only to get a 4th after that epic cluster

[rapid summit]

Been busy playing stellar blade, I unlock a new outfit that I'm gonna enjoy wearing it

[ivory onyx]

this game was made for 1 reason and its fooking disgusting

[polar wren]

And they said they censored it

My updated list

[ivory onyx]

that case...better be really nice

[rough narwhal]

what a meme build..

[austere sonnet]

d eco buiild or something right

[rough narwhal]

nah, deco has high standards, but i dont think he would spend 300 bucks on a cpu cooler for a screen

[rare thorn]

[polar wren]

It is a nice case big enough for a 4090 and has windowed covers. Plus a touchscreen

[polar wren]

It matches the case. If I want to build with a window case it's going to be fucking nice.

Also brand new cooler

[ivory onyx]

does it have mounting points for the additional beams required to keep a 4090 from sagging?

[polar wren]

No the GPU is sitting on the bottom of the case fans facing the window

It's big enough to do that

[ivory onyx]

oh its got that pcie cable

does that actually...limit speeds or thats not an issue?

[polar wren]

I haven't fully reviewed everything about the case

The PC list is still in editing mode

[ivory onyx]

i mean those gpu relocation things in general

[polar wren]

The motherboard is changing to a Rog strix

[ivory onyx]

the case does look like an absolute unit though

[polar wren]

Don't think so

It is a damn unit, you can put so many fans on this fucker

7 I think

[ivory onyx]

well its got 7 in the picture alone

unless you can add more on the bottom

[polar wren]

You can add more to the bottom

[ivory onyx]

succ up all that dust onto the bottom filter

[polar wren]

And that touch screen acts like a second monitor

[ivory onyx]

$360 seems low now after seeing it

or does it not actually come with case fans

[polar wren]

It doesn't come with the fans

That's the downside

[rough narwhal]

same performance, oled monitor, about 400 dollars cheaper

(you also need a psu in your build)

oled monitor >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> case with a screen and a cpu cooler with a screen

scratch that

get a 360hz oled and still save 300 bucks

[latent moat]

Would 360hz make a huge discernable difference over 240?

Mine is only 165

[rough narwhal]

its not gonna make a diamond player a master player, but it will be smoother

its only 50 bucks more, so why not

[latent moat]

oh, $50 more

Why not wait a few more months for the announcement of the 5090 for 4090 prices to drop even more

[rough narwhal]

id generally argue that unless you are playing for money, even 165/180hz is good enough for most people

[polar wren]

Fuck yeah

Is it 1440p

[rough narwhal]

yep

(dont buy that list i put together, no clue if that cpu cooler actually fits in that case)

[merry shadow]

my list I've been thinking to get

[polar wren]

God damn that monitor cost

So I'm going to buy each PC item every two weeks

First will be the monitor + Ethernet cables

So I can use them on the current PC that I have

The Ethernet cables are cat8

[merry shadow]

I got one of the first versions back in 2017 which was like 1k so i'm surprised it isn't much more expensive.

if I could I would just upgrade the monitor alone but don't think my 2080ti will really be good enough to get high fps in games on that monitor

[rich tundra]

Nice someone enjoying stellar blade here nice 👍

[empty ivy]

An ultrawide would be so good to own.

Infernum EoL is nuts.

[summer furnace]

You already have a 2.1 hdmi or a 2.1 display port?

[buoyant granite]

https://tenor.com/view/jesus-ballin-mars-bars-gif-19910027

[latent moat]

At that price the monitor should be 4K

[summer furnace]

4k 240hz

[merry shadow]

4k version is 2400

[latent moat]

[charred quail]

4090 is ridiculously overpriced

jesus

[latent moat]

I just noticed

That's probably what the msrp for the 5090 will be

[tribal crypt]

take the 4090 msrp

and double it

[summer furnace]

16k gaming

[latent moat]

I don't think they will exceed 2100 for the 5090, atleast I think so.

But ofcourse that's just msrp

[summer furnace]

https://youtu.be/kg2NwRgBqFo?t=1023&si=eMaU6yZpH-7hZ_oL

16k very high

[sacred iron]

We are on 16k now?

I aught to try this on 16k

[summer furnace]

Nice fps

[sacred iron]

Locked at 91

[charred quail]

is that thief 1 or thief 2

[sacred iron]

If I unlocked it the coil whine would be incessantly annoying

[sacred iron]

1, using tfix so technically speaking it’s 2’s engine

[charred quail]

oh

[sacred iron]

Been incredibly fun so far

[stiff panther]

my old 970 had incredible coil whine. I used to make 'music' with it by looking around in my game and changing the sound of the whine lol

[sacred iron]

Oh I’ve experienced that lol

Oftentimes you can use it to tell how close something is finishing loading a level just through the sound alone

modders are going to rage again

[buoyant granite]

Now i have to wait even longer for my next playthrough

[charred quail]

why

just play now

the game is perfectly fine on pc

[buoyant granite]

[charred quail]

I think it only has problems on console

[buoyant granite]

I mean with all the bug fixes we have it's not bad

[charred quail]

Bungie thinks they have a "marathon community"

[polar wren]

But they do, not big but they do

Not sure why claim that there isn't one

[charred quail]

the 5 of them would be so thrilled

[polar wren]

It's more than 5 bro

[charred quail]

okay okay, 7

[polar wren]

Is this some sort of rage bait that I just played into

[charred quail]

no

[polar wren]

Yeah this is a bait bro. You trying to shit talk Bungie with a random announcement of a old ass game. And I fucking fell for it.

[ivory onyx]

Probably funded by sweet baby inc

[polar wren]

Did they fire the obvious assholes and racists yet

Or do they still have a job there

[ivory onyx]

I think you know the answer

https://www.ign.com/articles/steam-users-are-positively-review-bombing-hi-fi-rush-now-microsoft-has-closed-tango-gameworks

[rough narwhal]

if youre doing this, recommend just saving till you can buy all at once, most likely things will be cheaper in a couple of months

[latent moat]

I still don't understand why they named their new shooter that too

Old fans don't like that it's completely different, new fans don't care

[polar wren]

[rough narwhal]

eh, just wait for prime day

[polar wren]

Ooooh

[sacred iron]

Well that’s the first I’ve heard that happen

[polar wren]

Might get the 32 inch

[summer furnace]

4k too

[rough narwhal]

27 1440p sweet spot

plus if you can get oled

https://tenor.com/view/orgasm-ah-ahh-yes-exactly-gif-14893721

[empty ivy]

What the fuck.

No

They shouldn't review bomb it its not going to do anything.

[rough narwhal]

i guess its opposite of a bomb?

[tribal crypt]

its a positive bomb

[austere sonnet]

It’ll magically revive the company and rehire the people

[rough narwhal]

i mean... if anything it just brings sales to MS..

it ironically does opposite of what they want, its kind of rewarding MS for getting rid of them with positive press, reviews, and sales... none of which helps tango and its former employees

[latent moat]

Why do they think MS will somehow reverse the decision like it's a scooby doo episode

"I would've gotten away with it too! If it weren't for you meddling gamers!"

[austere sonnet]

Speaking of doo scooby I heard they’re making another show or movie

[rough narwhal]

the internet is not very bright.. and they think that popular opinions means something.. all it means is there are more stupid people in this world than not

[hushed juniper]

lmao, they updated the mods and they're about to get al fucked

[charred quail]

[charred quail]

they already own the ip, would feel wasteful leaving it to rot I guess

oh nice cod double xp weekend

time to finish my bp

[buoyant granite]

fr 🇫🇷

[polar wren]

It meant something to Sony when they reviewed bombed the shit out of helldivers 2 and bashed them on social media

[charred quail]

Sony hasn't done shit though

they posted that single tweet then has done nothing

[ivory onyx]

Pr statement

[charred quail]

AH ceo said yesterday he's still begging sony

[ivory onyx]

But gamers think they big won

[charred quail]

I have a feeling they won't be working together after this game

[polar wren]

Isn't it steams call to put helldivers 2 back on the store

[charred quail]

nope

[ivory onyx]

Moves over to Microsoft?

[charred quail]

ebin game

[polar wren]

Well at least I don't have to sign up a PSN account anytime soon for helldivers

[ivory onyx]

You do however have to do your part killing 2 billion automatons

[charred quail]

[polar wren]

They did the same with bugs we can do the same with a bunch of fucking clankers

[ivory onyx]

Bugs are way easier to farm

Since I'm pretty sure shooting down a drop ship doesn't reward you with the kills all the time

[charred quail]

shooting dropships is such a waste of ammo

[ivory onyx]

And devastators are cunts

[charred quail]

bots crawl out from under them all the goddamn time

[ivory onyx]

Quasar with infinite ammo

[polar wren]

Sucks that I gotta wait until my paycheck to get the game and a better monitor

[ivory onyx]

They bug out and stand there where they crash land.. great for berserkers

[charred quail]

will get you a good 10 hours of fun

after that be prepared for a slog

[ivory onyx]

Just don't play it like a grind game

[sacred iron]

Depends a lot on how you approach it I suppose

[shut wigeon]

I bet during the Xbox conference they’ll announce cod coming to gamepass

I mean it’s obvious isn’t it

[polar wren]

Have 250 hours in drg. I think a game like helldivers won't be a problem

[latent moat]

They confirmed again that all their games will be on GP day one, so yeah

[shut wigeon]

How come mw3 isn’t on there

[latent moat]

PS agreement still hasn't expired yet

An agreement that states that they can't have their latest cod on gamepass

MWIII is the last one that got it

Furthermore, Ghost of Tsushima now has the same purchase restrictions.

Twitter · May 10, 2024, 5:18 PM

even more restrictions added to Helldivers 2

[hushed gull]

PS just avoiding more profit

[charred quail]

they are losing profits on their console sale so they must be thinking that sales on steam is the reason

some corpo genius thought process

this must be to prepare for ps5 pro, if everybody buys your games on pc, nobody will buy your new console

[sacred iron]

I take it this is because that also needs a ps account?

[charred quail]

yes, but no. Because the devs came out and said when the whole hd2 thing blew up that singleplayer wouldn't require psn account

so the game was still being sold on steam in those countries

until today

[sacred iron]

I don’t follow. So it doesn’t need a ps account but they’ve chosen to block those countries anyway?

[charred quail]

that's right

it needs psn for the multiplayer mode, doesn't for singleplayer

[sacred iron]

So is it just the multiplayer portion that’s the reason why it’s blocked

[charred quail]

that would be an extremely stupid reason to block it

[sacred iron]

Yeah that’s why I’m confused, why is it blocked at all

[tribal sinew]

so will ghost of tsushima require playstation account too?

[charred quail]

it doesn't if you just play singleplayer

which is how 99% of the players will play that game

[tribal sinew]

i dont have a ps account and i dont want one, their security is like swiss cheese

[charred quail]

[summer furnace]

They always earn big and lose big, never stable

[charred quail]

their only stable and profitable market is the console market, last year they sold 200% more ps5 than the previous year

this year it's dropped by 25%

[elfin lark]

Time for me to go all in once that bitch really drops

[charred quail]

it should continue dropping until they release the next console and their psn pc launcher

[stiff panther]

their WHAT

[charred quail]

only natural you can already stream ps games on pc via ps+

the dev dropped the price so I get a partial refund

[sacred iron]

That’s nice of them

Literally never seen that before

[rich tundra]

Why are they doing this something happened

?

[charred quail]

they sold many copies so I guess they feel like it's fine to drop the price a little

[rich tundra]

That's rare

[ivory onyx]

probably felt bad about scamming people with an early access

[rich tundra]

I don't think they scamming

[polar wren]

No way bro took THAT LONG

The quest isn't that difficult

Another day destroying the factory strider in helldivers 2

airstrikes actually really good for those compared to 500s

i watched two of the strikes hit it consecutively

was very satisfying

(it didnt even die until after the barrage though)

[polar wren]

I'm so ready for helldivers this Wednesday

[buoyant granite]

im ready for ghost of tsushima

[polar wren]

Except those in countries without a psn

[charred quail]

Estonia banned

lmao

I think that's illegal

they have to sell the game to all European countries

[summer furnace]

Because it doesn't have a psn region

[charred quail]

Steam didn't make the call here

[ivory onyx]

whats the main reasoning behind PSN not being in so many countries?

[summer furnace]

They must be not trusting them

[charred quail]

sony can't be arsed to host servers in those locations

[ivory onyx]

infrastructure problem?

[polar wren]

Damn

Welp ain't my problem

[charred quail]

it's banned in Estonia, which has one of the best internet in the world

[polar wren]

It is a small country

Just a little nub of Europe

Took a while to figure out where it was before looking it up. Not good on pointing out the small countries that are grouped in close proximity

[charred quail]

their customer support used to tell people to just make a German psn account to play, I wonder what happened to get them to just straight up banning countries like this

and it is illegal too

you can't exclude countries in the EU from sales

unless you exclude the entirety of Europe

[polar wren]

So Sony finally fucked up

[charred quail]

maybe they found a loophole?

[polar wren]

Like fucked up fucked up. Not piss people off fucked up

[charred quail]

their legal team is massive

[ivory onyx]

yeah they found a loop hole

[polar wren]

BRUH

[ivory onyx]

its called theyre worth 100 billion

[polar wren]

You're off by 4 billion

104 billion is how much Sony is worth

[ivory onyx]

4b is probably what they fluctuate daily

[polar wren]

And Microsoft is 3064 billion

Sony ain't even a true competitor

They are only a competitor in the eyes of adult babies

Apple and Amazon are the true competitors

[tribal crypt]

leave the multi billion dollar corporation alone

[sacred iron]

@polar wren sorry for the ping but I’ve just booted up sea of thieves after having not played for many months, since you play it solo I was curious, what kinds of things do you choose to do in your sessions to have the most fun?

[polar wren]

Talltales for a story and gold hoarders for money and grinding

[sacred iron]

Any of the more emergent content?

Oh wow the quest board is completely different

Does this mean you can just choose exactly what you want to do?

[polar wren]

Yep and you can dive right to it

Treasure will be left behind when you mission dive

And the dive will bring you to the exact island or the first step

So you won't be sailing to the initial location

Also messages in a bottle have been buffed alot

[polar wren]

Also a new Season has dropped where it brings new weapons, items, Ziplines, and the ability to walk on your harpoon lines

[sacred iron]

Yeah I’ve already tested out a couple of those

Currently just doing a simple riddle, but I hope to find some of the emergent content as I go

Forgotten all the controls :/

[polar wren]

Lol

[ivory onyx]

not even at 500 mil automatons killed yet

[polar wren]

Bruh

[sacred iron]

Wait, if riddles only give you one per go, and treasure maps give you multiple, why bother with riddles?

[polar wren]

Lol yeah just go with them treasure maps. But don't forget to get any message in bottles they bring good damn loot now

[sacred iron]

Haven’t spotted any yet

Did find some old books that gave me something

Goodness me, that’s three extra quests from one island

[polar wren]

Yeah I can get really lucky on a island and get random treasure, skeleton captains, and messages in a bottle

Or not lucky it's really common

[latent moat]

They should give some of that internet to the rest of the world then

[sacred iron]

Sea of thieves low key an extraction shooter

[polar wren]

Why does a small insignificant nation no American can point on the map have the best Internet

Have you used the grapple on a ragdolled player

[empty ivy]

No.

Now I'm curious.

[main matrix]

That looks pretty fucking awesome

[elfin lark]

Discovered yesterday shadows of doubt will be coming to consoles and i tell boys hwhat, i’m pretty damn excited for that

[charred quail]

I'm downloading ghost recon breakpoint again

[tribal crypt]

uninstall inc in a few hrs

[charred quail]

you know it

[tribal crypt]

[ivory onyx]

but will he play with the first person mod

[charred quail]

no lol

the modding is too complicated for something I will probably uninstall tomorrow

[ivory onyx]

just getting your fix in before the next ghost recon game drops i feel ya

[hushed juniper]

EA taking notes for their next star wars IP

[buoyant granite]

The unlock everything mod is easy to install, everything else ain't worth it

[ivory onyx]

you mean the next next one? outlaws is already in the bag

[next rapids]

i wanna install it and try the fpp mod

[sacred iron]

breakpoint was honestly fun when you strip away the annoying parts

funny that

[charred quail]

yeah liking it so far

redownloaded it mainly for the terminator quest

[sacred iron]

You going with or without the gear levels?

[charred quail]

playing with gear levels on right now but I don't see the difference really, enemies melt

the environment is so pretty

what a shame it doesn't have dlss or fsr 2

there are so many quests

this is an mmo lol

[sacred iron]

basically yeah, that's how it was designed initially

busywork isn't my line of fun so I just went and turned it off

but the main story is really not great. People told me to skip it and start on a later chapter, and I wish I did

[shut wigeon]

@next rapids

[tribal crypt]

what is this supposed to be

[solemn tide]

No, cos the "modders" are using stolen assets from other modders, and charging for it.

[elfin lark]

Ah well that ain’t cool

[next rapids]

charging for ripped assets very not cool

When I play games with friends I tend to play those games more

double stratagem jammer in a blitz mission..this is why no one fucking likes you bot missions...and it was a 3 strat max planet

[split fjord]

Gonna be saying that when i get my hands on the game

[ivory onyx]

shuttle lands for 5 mins
leader decides to run off nearby for 2 rares and a common
we run back to waiting shuttle
lets not get on right away
4x drop ships land all at once
few more deaths (friendly mortar too)
finally clear it all out...got samples
STILL NOT GETTING ON THE SHIP
so i decided to get on to force them to also get on (11 mins left in mission)
ship instantly takes off the moment i got in
no samples extracted ...amazing bugs sometimes

[latent moat]

Ghosts 2 confirmed

https://fxtwitter.com/zvis_ceral/status/1789753516757524538

The cod community has done it, they've convinced Activision that it's some underrated masterpiece and that it deserves a sequel

[ivory onyx]

pretty sure activision knows they could shit on a plate, put the cod logo on it, and it would still blow the doors off most AAA games with its preorders alone

[sacred iron]

tbf, an advanced warfare style game is the only chance i'd ever be interested in playing cod

[latent moat]

Oh yeah I think AW II would actually be good

Ghosts 2, I couldn't care less about it

[elfin lark]

Honestly i’m looking forward to both of em

Ghosts holds a special spot in my heart since i did so much splitscreen with my father

[austere sonnet]

all I’ll say is they have to finish off ghost for that cliffhanger

[shut wigeon]

Worst cod ever

[austere sonnet]

The eyes on the last one

[ivory onyx]

i stick by the host the whole fucking game, while 2 idiots run off in the direction we have to go anyways for the main obj

then when we run over to launch the ICBM they run off in the other direction to the extraction and die-reinforce-die loop

and at the end one of them died->host goes for his samples->me and him die, so i was like can we just stick together?? were trying to get your samples etc

we finish, host kicks me

[stiff panther]

hey you nerd i was visiting my mom

It’s a classic mmo style game, which I’d guess is technically a live service but I wouldn’t call it that

[charred quail]

different kind of LS

I don't remember if there's a battle pass in eso

no right

[spiral void]

Not really, last I played it was f2p with paid expansions coming regularly, paid shop for cosmetics/minor xp boost etc, and an optional subscription that gives extra storage space and very minor boosts to play like 10% gold gained from sources

[charred quail]

it's no longer f2p I think

I should play it again

[spiral void]

It is for base game surely, there’s just so much in expansions that is paid that makes it effectively paid

Before MWII was released Schreier reported that we'd get DLC in year 2 that gives us maps. Alongside it we were going to get a ghost spin off

One of the posters later replied that the ghosts game is a MW19 prequel that's centred around Ghost

And Sledge begged Acti to make AW II for ages. What else would they be making? Vanguard II?

[rich tundra]

Ghost will have it's own game now

This time we will finally get the most realistic dog model

[rich tundra]

Bro can you tell me the number of people who will be hyped for Vanguard 2?

[charred quail]

please, no more ww2 game

[latent moat]

But we need to see what happened to the vanguard team at the end of the campaign

[sacred iron]

they all lived happily ever after

[rose furnace]

I hope they won't bring mw3 weapon back to that game

Since its prequel

And weapon bring from previous game ussually end up with no one using it annyway

[sacred iron]

from the sounds of it they handle it much like portal, not really adjusting old weapons enough to be viable with the new gameplay systems

[charred quail]

[lost sluice]

ghost of sushi-ma in 3 days

keen to try it out, I know it's a mix of stealth and combat in the same way as assassin's creed, but not too sure how it plays out

[lost sluice]

countries without psn support have been blocked from buying the game

sadge

[charred quail]

still can buy it on your ps5 in those countries

kinda obvious what they are trying

https://nichegamer.com/square-enix-announces-new-plan-to-aggressively-pursue-a-multiplatform-strategy/

ff16 flopped so hard they are now going multi-platform

[tribal crypt]

just took them several decades to realise that severely limiting the amount of people that can buy your games is bad

[latent moat]

No way, intentionally limiting the accessibility of the game hurts your revenue? Who would've known..

[charred quail]

several decades in like 2$ billion loss

[latent moat]

Seems like they aren't a fan of Sony bribing them to keep their games off other platforms now

[charred quail]

ff15 sold 5 million copies on its first day, ff16 sold 3 million copies after a week

SE shares dropped about 30% after they announced the sales number

who would have thought that limiting your game to a console platform which is dropping in sales would be a bad idea lmao

[ivory onyx]

Time to launch a new console and make the game exclusive to that

[charred quail]

I just found a site that lists developmental builds of games.

That's a mobile game

[latent moat]

tez2 is unreliable for 'reports'

But his datamines are pretty on-point

[charred quail]

ghost of tsushima at home

[austere sonnet]

Yeah

they all need remakes

[main matrix]

New assaisn creed?

[charred quail]

ye

[main matrix]

Damn

Didn't they just release mirage or am I behind

[buoyant granite]

what gave you that idea

[main matrix]

Idk I didn't expect another game

I want a new tomb raider game I got the itch

They need to finish the last game of the reboot series

[charred quail]

mirage was just a dlc-turned-game

[main matrix]

Oh

[charred quail]

it's barely a whole game

[main matrix]

Yeah last ac game I played was odyssey so I wouldn't know lol

[charred quail]

so devoid of content they used that "back to our root" claim and people ate it up

yeah it's back to AC root because you can't make a whole game out of a dlc

[sacred iron]

Came out last year, in October I believe

[main matrix]

Okay so I'm not that behind

[sacred iron]

Still more fun than the last 3 games they put out

[main matrix]

Hell no odyssey was great

I never played Valhalla

[merry shadow]

LFG FINALLY THE WEEB VERSION

[sacred iron]

Yeah not too far, it’s just that Ubisoft have got all hands on deck for assassins creed games so they seem to be back on a yearly schedule

[charred quail]

they lucked out lol because AC fans don't like rpg from the beginning so the lack of content actually helped

[sacred iron]

Even if the rpg titles didn’t feature rpg systems, they still lack most of the gameplay elements to keep them fun for me

Hence mirage felt like a blast in comparison

[main matrix]

You don't like rpgs?

Isn't that like what assasins creed is

[sacred iron]

No

The previous games featured light rpg elements, but they were always an aside

[ivory onyx]

Originally it was just straight upgrades to your gear

Linear fashion then odyssey added tons of "options" gear sets etc

[sacred iron]

But even if those three did away with levels, open world style quests, etc, it’s parkour, stealth, toolset, level design yada yada just felt worse

The only aspects of the RPGs I appreciated was the freedom of potential build loadouts given the stat options and gear abilities, but then mirage does that with its tool tier system anyways

[main matrix]

How? I thought they were fine. I agree the level design was somewhat stupid but the movement was fine

[rich tundra]

When a game released in 2011 had more tools, gear and weapons than a latest game it's a huge issue imo

[sacred iron]

Aside from the removal of camera relativity, manual ejects, animation cancelling, manual jumps, social stealth, instant assassinations, profile management, perhaps

[rich tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/brotherhood-gif-13711678

[sacred iron]

But unfortunately, those things are pretty core to the aspects that make the games fun for me

[main matrix]

That just means that the developers don't really care anymore similar to Activision

[rich tundra]

Yep

[rich tundra]

It's just pathetic

[latent moat]

I mean tbf it is probably the least like the other rpg ACs

[sacred iron]

I’d agree that combat in the RPGs was better, was never a fan of the counter kill and chain kill system of the other games, but almost everything else just felt worse

[latent moat]

I found mirage very fun honestly

[sacred iron]

Hence if ‘Shadows’ can be a balance between the pros of the RPGs and the design philosophy behind mirage, I just might be a happy chap

[rich tundra]

That will be perfect combo to destroy the franchise

Look back and take inspiration from brotherhood to unity

That's what I think will be way better

[sacred iron]

Ideally, yeah, but RPGs give them the big bucks, best they’ll do is find a balance between both

[austere sonnet]

@high haven finding the plans I need in these player camps truly is not pog

[high haven]

why? D:

[rich tundra]

Then I will say rpg era and old era combination

[sacred iron]

Which for the most part is what mirage was

Not really a full return to roots in terms of copying the original game’s design, but definitely pushing the current design closer to that core

[rich tundra]

Mirage lacks so much if you just compare it to brotherhood

Leave brotherhood

Ac2 is far better

[austere sonnet]

need more camp items to build with

[old helm]

[rich tundra]

Except graphics I find everything worse in mirage and graphics will definitely be better it's a 2023 game afterall

[sacred iron]

That’s fine. But I can say that mirage was 10x more fun on my end than any of my experiences with origins, odyssey or Valhalla

Comparing to the classics is more complicated though some areas aren’t as cut and dry

[austere sonnet]

Idk what I really need since idk if I already know it or not

[rich tundra]

I will not even compare mirage to classics bro

They were games

Not dlc

[sacred iron]

Even though brotherhood also began as an expansion for 2 that became a separate game

[high haven]

hmmm

[rich tundra]

It is an perfect example of how to make sequel

Making things better not reducing things

It's graphics was also improvement over ac2

If you compare mirage from unity just look how facial animations were done better in a 2014 game bro

[sacred iron]

I don’t disagree with it being an improvement, the only downgrade was the mouse implementation, but it also goes to show that something just being a dlc first isn’t a be all end all omen for it being bad

[rich tundra]

I consider it a downgrade tbh

But knowing that you liked it that's great atleast you enjoyed something from Ubisoft which is rare nowadays

[high haven]

never done daily ops, carry me, @austere sonnet

[sacred iron]

Yeah I try my best to find the fun in whatever I play

In some instances that isn’t possible but mirage was solid

I wish I could go and handpick elements to make it like, my dream game

[rich tundra]

I will just remake ac2 & brotherhood

that's my dream ac

With art style and animation of unity and ac3

[sacred iron]

Similar boat. I'd just take brotherhood's parkour system, with the toolset of Mirage, Mirage's combat with the weapon verity and attack animation variety of 2 - revelations. Sprinkle in a bit of that baghdad architecture and I'm golden

oh and if we could return to the whit, cinematic direction and storytelling style of the classics I'd be very happy :>

[rich tundra]

For me
Story - inspired from ezio trilogy
Parkour - mix of brotherhood and unity
Location - Italy and France
Weapon & tools - brotherhood and unity.

[high haven]

since when does the bfg exist in fallout 76, @austere sonnet ?

[rich tundra]

It was pain but I liked that if I jump from high floor my armour will get damage so I have to repair it in ezio games.
You could renovate and bank 🏦.
Unity had really nice customization features that can be customized individually.

[rare thorn]

BFG?

[high haven]

big flipping gun

[rich tundra]

Revelations had weird bomb making thing

[high haven]

from Doom

[sacred iron]

armour breaking I didn't really care too much for to be honest. I know why it's there, but it just became a bit of a nuisance

[high haven]

the leader we were fighting had one for sure, kept one shotting us 😭

[austere sonnet]

As you saw it’s a pain

you can’t cripple their limbs either

And some legendary effects are bullshit

[high haven]

that cloaked bullshit was annoying

[austere sonnet]

And knows where you are 90% of the time

[high haven]

getting nabbed by mosquitoes, dogs and grasshoppers while also shot by invisible ghouls 😭

and i'm a VATS cat, cloaked enemies can't be VATS'D

[rich tundra]

Like now you can carelessly Parkour before one mistake you could die so it added complexity that's why I liked it

Now it feels automated

[rare thorn]

Armor piercing is the biggest bullshit

Because it doubles damage on everything.

The other day we got armor piercing + toxic cloud. And the toxic cloud also does double damage. For some reason

[sacred iron]

Even without the armour break, the fact that the games now prevent accidental falls, removed manual catch ledge and animation cancelling goes to show they want the modern system to be as automated as possible

[rich tundra]

I don't like the new system

[austere sonnet]

Ngl good thing they don’t have triple or quadruple legendary effects

I need them camp plans to build with

[sacred iron]

neither

[rare thorn]

They do sometimes

On double mutation weekends

[austere sonnet]

[rare thorn]

Double rewards tho

[austere sonnet]

Also forgot to ask @high haven you like the office table

[high haven]

hm?

[austere sonnet]

[high haven]

i'll be there shortly, need to set a camp at vault g52 cause i forgot to explore that one

oh that

it's like you're trying to sell me extended car warranties when i sit down there. it's nice 😄

[austere sonnet]

chessboard truly was one of the best items from the season pass

A must have item for a builder

[high haven]

that's done wiht the chess board?!

how'd you remove the chess board

[austere sonnet]

Merging

[sacred iron]

This is about as much as you can do with the new system.

No more seeing someone use a tech in a parkour showcase that you've never seen before, then being able to spot places to use that out in the world. That just doesn't happen in the new games cause they design parkour to mostly be just about running in a straight line, and any creative freedom is stifled.

[austere sonnet]

https://youtu.be/3kauIp1FDvY?si=hz-W2Flk192YYS_G @high haven can be a pain to do

[sacred iron]

and the lack of consistency makes any attempt of a choreographed run impossible

[high haven]

there's no bathroom

btw

you're disqualified from the euro fallout vision

oh outside ones

you're back in

[rich tundra]

I wish they just added unity system with improvement it was stylish and cool

[polar wren]

Honestly ads in games ain't a big deal unless it's ads like we see on websites and YouTube

Most ads we see in game are product placement

Which are absolutely fine

[sacred iron]

Well, the unity system was the first one to remove 360 degree eject angles, and it was the most automated of all parkour systems, even more so than Valhalla. Its animations were neat, offering some visual flare and expression, but mechanically weaker

[polar wren]

Same with the billboard tactics

[rich tundra]

Even then I will take unity Parkour anyday but can't say same for mirage, Valhalla or all rpg

[sacred iron]

The improvements to parkour down are definitely stellar though

He's been with PS for years so maybe we could see some of that return to classic PS with experimental titles

And actual respects given to their legacy

But idk they'll probably still keep on pumping out cinematic stuff because that's what the casual masses love

Yeah straight up troll and bro baited so many people, all of the comments are calling this guy a R, others are completely dumbfounded, and some are making fun of him in general. The responses are making me giggle so much.

[rapid summit]

I had to change the color for my pirate in For Honor, just had to try this white color outfit to see if it will fit me or not

[desert nova]

Beauty

[latent rock]

[rapid summit]

Nah the war will not stop until there's a winner

[high haven]

@latent moat damn, vines still exist in star wars. Dem doing the t pose challenge

[high haven]

It does

Except the Brotherhood is calling, they want your finger

[summer furnace]

I would call it platform war but still right

[rich tundra]

[summer furnace]

You had 2 years to save for horizon 2

[rich tundra]

No

I will wait for sale

2 more years

[summer furnace]

That means you'll also wait 4 years for the others

[rich tundra]

Bro these are expensive games

[summer furnace]

"I don't have to wait 2 years to play"

[rich tundra]

But I want to save money too

If I buy in sale I can maybe get 2 games in price of 1 game

[summer furnace]

or no you're right, the sooner they come they'll be discounted earlier

[rich tundra]

Now you getting me

[summer furnace]

[latent moat]

I can believe them saying that

they bullied and sent death threats to a 15 year old working on a spiderman 2 pc port project

[charred quail]

nothing like a ps fanboy

[latent moat]

And doxxed him and leaked all his family information

As announced in the Sony earnings call, we have sold over 12M units!

It's crazy to think that there are more Helldivers than there are Swedes 🤯

What a massive achievement from everyone involved in realizing @Helldivers2. A massive thank you to the community for your support,…

Sony’s PS5 sales are down 29% year-over-year in the recent Q. Sony also says it sold 20.8 million PS5 consoles for its full 2023 fiscal year, a slight miss on its revised target of 21 million units. Sony now expects PS5 sales to decline to 18 million over the FY24 fiscal year

read the replies

[latent moat]

[sacred iron]

give me an idea of what they are like before I dive in

[latent moat]

Lmao people on twitter blaming their push on pc for it

[sacred iron]

cause people would definitely rather wait 5 years for a pc port than actually get it on launch

[latent moat]

[empty ivy]

I was gonna be vulgar but I won't.

[sacred iron]

I've seen a resurgeance in the console war thing recently, it's hilariously stupid

[empty ivy]

Yeah cause of the Square Enix thing.

[sacred iron]

what did they do specifically?

been so much going on recently I can't keep track

it's honestly been such a hectic month for games

[latent moat]

They announced that their past few games have been selling horribly

So they're ending console exclusivity and going all in on multi-platform releases

They finally realised spending millions on game dev to make a game to only release the game on 1 platform is not sustainable

[sacred iron]

Sounds like a good thing to me

[latent moat]

Ofcourse the ponies are mad and are angry at sony for treating them badly somehow from this

[sacred iron]

Less constraints applied because of the console, more people play it, more money for them

[latent moat]

"how dare more people get to the play the game"

[hushed juniper]

most waiting for GTA 6

[rich tundra]

Me

[charred quail]

waiting for gta 6 is similar to waiting for the heat death of the universe

there's no point

it will come when it will come

[latent moat]

Will the heat death of the universe come out before GTA 6?

[charred quail]

https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/square-enix-confirms-us-eu-layoffs-as-part-of-restructuring/

main team fucked up

let's lay off the people who did nothing wrong

[charred quail]

yeah I know I'm right

[charred quail]

boy I am excited for that japanese AC game

[sacred iron]

I’m at least excited to see the demo for it

[latent moat]

I am actually excited

It's one thing Ubi are great at - making good faithful maps

[ivory onyx]

Weebs be like, this samurai sword wasn't folded 1000 times when it was made

[charred quail]

fold deez nutz

[charred quail]

yeah, been playing ghost recon breakpoint, while the gameplay is whatever, the map is so beautiful

[rich tundra]

Me too bro

Imagine this Japanese ac is also mid and they will loose this setting

[charred quail]

I hope they show actual gameplay and not a 15 seconds teaser

[rich tundra]

It will be cinematic

Just like all the ac games first trailers

[ivory onyx]

I just hope tobuscus makes another funny trailer song about this one...

[charred quail]

tobuscus?

he's still around?

I thought he touched some kids and was gone

[ivory onyx]

Yeah forgot what decade we're in

[austere sonnet]

[rare thorn]

I believe he was cancelled for being a shitty abusive boyfriend and drug addict

[polar wren]

I'ma add that to my list of the many many YouTubers valid or not that Cat hates.

[charred quail]

[charred quail]

was gonna play some breakpoint but it's always-online and ubisoft server is fucked

https://insider-gaming.com/nexon-the-finals-not-performing/

no shit lmao

[ivory onyx]

Tbf in this case he's right

[polar wren]

Yeah this is one of the valid ones

[charred quail]

joke on you I hate all youtubers

[ivory onyx]

Wait the finals who was made by ex dice devs with amazing destruction compared to BF, is doing poor???

[charred quail]

it's not surprising

the game appeals to nobody

[ivory onyx]

Did I stutter??

I said it has better destruction than BF

[charred quail]

an Esport-themed, Esport game, with questionable art direction, long ttk, bad netcode?

[ivory onyx]

It's literally a battlefield killer

[charred quail]

I can't imagine anyone would want to play an esport-centric game

[ivory onyx]

Tbf the poor net code can be alleviated by aimbot

[charred quail]

esport is cringe

[ivory onyx]

Shroud is eSports, everyone wants to grow up to be him

[sacred iron]

The finals is a lot of fun

It’s just that trying to start up a new shooter nowadays is almost impossible

But it’s one of the most fun shooters I’ve played in many years

[tribal crypt]

it doesnt appeal to casuals so its dead

[sacred iron]

Most likely

I knew when it launched that it wouldn’t last long in the spotlight, so I aim to play it as much as possible

[high haven]

tbh, they should focus more on casual play. add more modes that focus on BOOM! like that pushback mode is more fun than the standard ones imo, cause you keep returning to places where you can blow shit up
