[brittle portal]

and they still haven't managed to

[ivory onyx]

but the online is also what allowed rockstar to be lazy af

[onyx nest]

Rockstar is the Steven Seagal of game developers. lol

early success and now they do their scenes sitting down flapping their arms around

[random tartan]

After maybe first 2 years. After that. They just used gta V as a savings account from shark cards

[random tartan]

Very lazy. They also fucked over FiveM. After they acquired them. Since they couldn’t take it down by sueing them

[ivory onyx]

ok that might be a little harsh on rockstar... they dont put strip clubs in all their games and have "night workers".... oh hang on a second

[ivory onyx]

its even worse they did no SP dlc lol

thats the ultimate fuck you to the players

[onyx nest]

the obligatory strip club scene

[random tartan]

The scrap all the development work. Had many DLCs and content. And content drop feed GTAO every few months.

[ivory onyx]

did they ever have plans for it?

[random tartan]

Look bro, new weapon and vehicle 3-6 months at a time

[random tartan]

They did at one point

[ivory onyx]

i have to imagine they did since 4s DLC was a success?

but then ooof, online raked in the cash and they said fuck that we aint spending money on the actors doing more mocap

[random tartan]

They only used GTAO for ez money making. Thats it. They basically let it dry up

They don’t give a fuck about you. Only money

[ivory onyx]

i thought they really cared when they made people purchase the game 3x

or did like 360 users get a free upgrade to xbox 1?

[random tartan]

It was like 10$ upgrade

That’s how it was for all new gen consoles

From last gen

[ivory onyx]

oh so thats not so bad, you only had to pay full price for PC

[brittle portal]

Rockstar is a stupid company and i hate them.

[random tartan]

Rockstar is always money hungry. The amount of things they did and do. It’s dumb

Their games only to cover them up.

Let’s be real

[brittle portal]

Selling pirated copies of some of their older games on Steam

[random tartan]

I have a strong feeling they will treat GTA6 online the same way they did to GTAO. Give it useful ish support for abt 2 years and barely, I mean barely content drip it and let it dry up

Use it for money income by doing nothing to it

[ivory onyx]

just so im clear on the rules though as a game, rockstar is amazing delivering 15/10 experiences ... ubisoft words that will get me banned again ?

[brittle portal]

nah.

GTA Online is a 5/10 experience if i'm being generous.

[random tartan]

I been saying this for a while and rockstar lovers always disagree with me

[onyx nest]

only way I'm playing GTA online is if they let me be a cop. And based off of people's level of sociopathic behavior, the escalation of my powers increase.

I'd be in

[random tartan]

FiveM bro 😎

[onyx nest]

I literally just looked at what this is. Wow. I'm kinda sad I bought it on my xbox now

[random tartan]

It’s amazing

But FiveM dev team got fucked my rockstar when rockstar bought them out

All the FiveM devs left master on. FiveM owner still hates rockstar to this day. Rockstar did them dirty. Gave them no money, no help or anything. Just left them in the dust to die out

Prob one of reasons why Gta6 will have some FiveM aspects

Not all but some QoL stuff in it

[polar wren]

Honestly the water mechanic in the forever winter is not needed tbh as I just found out how fast you can get water

Like what's the point of it when I can non stop grind water and get max water in like an hour or less

Like at that point I would rather have a different system

Or just not have a threat of losing everything to begin with

[brittle portal]

I mean, if it can be filled in an hour or less then I don't see why it's an issue.

Especially since a full thing of water lasts like, over a month irl when not upgraded. I donno how long it lasts after upgrades. Maybe like, 2 or 3 months irl.

[polar wren]

Well it becomes a useless feature. Bloatware basically.

[brittle portal]

i mean you'd be thinking it was more of a problem if that weren't the case tho.

[polar wren]

I would like it to be more of a consistent thing to keep an eye on

[brittle portal]

like, i'd rather it be a relative non-issue than to have it be a constant annoyance.

[polar wren]

Instead of having it only important for like half an hour of playing

[brittle portal]

like i think it's the best compromise

[polar wren]

I would rather have it remade than just become bloatware

[brittle portal]

it has a presense in gameplay, but it's not so overbearing that you're expected to play the game multiple times a month to keep that stocked.

like would you rather have a full thing of water last less than a month so you have to play the game twice a month to keep that filled up

like, I appreciate The Forever Winter's vibe a lot, and I like the studio behind it and what they stand for, but I don't regularly play games like that.

[latent moat]

That's why we have ragemp

[polar wren]

Less than a month would be better, like people can get half a year of water in like 1-2 days of playing with realistic play time

[brittle portal]

would it actually be better though, or would it just make people who don't wanna play the game twice a month wanna not play the game.

like, that's a sentiment i've generally seen among the groups i'm in, most people i know aren't really into this "you have to play the game like twice a month to keep from losing your shit" angle.

[polar wren]

If it makes people not want to play then nerfing the punishment of the water running out would be better. Like instead of losing all of the loot you lose like 75 percent of it or 50 percent

Or have a stash where it can not be effected by the reset

[brittle portal]

yeah but the devs are apparently not doing that.

so i'd rather it be how it is, where you can have enough water to last like, a few months irl.

Atleast the switch is nearing eol I guess

The switch emulators have fully matured by now fortunately

[brittle portal]

i refuse to believe that the switch 2 is real till i see an announcement.

[empty ivy]

We all know there's an upgrade of it coming.

[latent moat]

I see them announcing it this month

or December which would be weird

[brittle portal]

I'm listening to the Silent Hill 2 Remake OST, at least the Preview that Konami put up.

This is good.

[latent moat]

Maybe Bloober was just that afraid of backlash then lol

[brittle portal]

i mean the OST is composed by Akira Yamaoka.

[latent moat]

They made a whole twitter thread that was basically them saying: "we're not responsible for this pls it's Konami who you should blame" lmao

MGS3 remake looking great too

We could actually have a Konami comeback

[brittle portal]

ehhh

[polar wren]

So apparently some of the tanks in the forever winter are models of actual tanks destroyed in real life

Honestly great way of getting models. Want a realistic looking tank wreck, just get some photo scans of actual destroyed tanks

Remnant 2 is pretty damn good

[brittle portal]

I've played a bit of the first Remnant game, and I liked it.

I only ever played it with friends tho

[charred quail]

yeah I think it will be more fun with friends, but so far playing solo is nice too

[next rapids]

very nice game

only played through it once but it's fun and an improvement on the first

[tribal crypt]

It's very much a game designed for coop

https://thatparkplace.com/rumor-sony-executives-not-happy-with-initial-ghost-of-yotei-response-and-developers-were-blindsided-with-new-female-character/

[brittle portal]

This rumor seems stupid

What the fuck do you mean the developers were blindsided by the female protagonist

They had to have been there when the game was being conceptualized.

Also i didn't think reception was that bad.

The only people that seemed to be mad about it were dipshits on Twitter. Who don't get to have an opinion anyway.

Like, please don't tell me you're taking this seriously. @random tartan

[latent moat]

let me guess, you got this from a console war twitter account

[latent moat]

He posts console war twitter all the time here

[brittle portal]

Twitter

Like i said

Twitter people don't get to have opinions.

[latent moat]

true

[brittle portal]

Everything they say is fundamentally worthless and not even worth acknowledging.

[random tartan]

No

I was scrolling through news and saw this

@brittle portal why are you so mad about other people opinions. It’s just a single article. Gawd dam bro, always so butt hurt over every lil thing.

[brittle portal]

This rumor is dumb

[random tartan]

It may or may not be. We all have our own opinions

I saw saw it and post it in here. Not from Twitter fyi

[brittle portal]

This guy is trying to pass off an opinion as credible gaming news tho

[random tartan]

Ok and. What’s the point

It’s not true, even tho I can’t prove it anyways. What point are your trying to make? Use common sense

[brittle portal]

Despite it being the stupidest bullshit i've ever heard of. "Developers were blindsided by the female character, Atsu" literally how could that be possible, how could the developers of the game not know who the protagonist of the game was gonna be before the reveal?

[random tartan]

Maybe they were side tracked with other dev things. Many other reasons.

We can we say it’s true or not. We aren’t a dev for the game nor for Sony

[brittle portal]

It's highly unlikely that the developers for the game just weren't paying attention.

[timid kindle]

Man after beating amnesia im bored

[charred quail]

you can go straight into the 2nd

[ivory onyx]

What if you don't remember anything?

Still play the second anyways

Never played any warhammer games went straight to sm2

Amnesia the bunker was my first amnesia game I completed

Only one I played

It’s all about preference my friend

[sacred iron]

Huh? That has to be the stupidest article i've ever laid eyes upon

nah I'd totally play the tank character and bash my way through

[rapid summit]

I haven't went back playing assassin's creed since origin, because the other assassin's creed games don't feel like assassin vs templar, the content in the game where you have to level up which is stupid to do that and I still remember the old assassin's creed games you don't have to level up all you have to do is collect items for you to carry more weapons by upgrading your gear

[ivory onyx]

another "eXluSiVE"?

That would actually be pretty cool ngl, you got Yasuke makin noise while Naoe goes in for the real kill

For a game that was turned from a dlc, ubi bordeaux did really good

Most enjoyable game in years. Felt like they understand what people wanted but where just limited by technology for the most part

[latent moat]

Yeah you can tell they were, but I'll give them the benefit of doubt

Bordeaux is one of their more minor studios, hence them being tasked to work on a dlc for Valhalla

Actually unbelievable

[next rapids]

it's sad because sc has the potential to actually be the space game literally every space sim nerd wants, but it's unfortunately being developed by cig

[charred quail]

it's like one of those love scam where some indian guy pretends to be in love with you over whatsapp and asks you for money so he could clear a million-dollar gift at custom for you, once you are hooked in you don't want to stop giving them money because if you stop then you admit you are scammed

[next rapids]

like literally anything they say is "almost done" was meant to be done at least 3 years ago, i bought the game in like 2022 and pyro was meant to be released that year lol

genuinely insane how much money people waste on it

[next rapids]

yeah i hear the new updates made things better especially engineering

i wanna get back into it

former dev told me the singleplayer part was done in 2017 but I guess the CEO keeps demanding the team to add more stuff to it

[next rapids]

story of star citizen

it was meant to be released in 2014 you know

feature creep and of course an infinite source of money means it'll never be done

[tribal crypt]

Even if that is true

[sacred iron]

Still can't fathom people paying for a several thousand pound ship that doesn't actually exist

[tribal crypt]

How the fuck can you add another 7 years of shit onto that

[next rapids]

some people have too much money

[sacred iron]

Grind simulator. All you do is move from station to station, trading stuff. I got around 60 hours before realising there was nothing fun once you learn the ship controls

preordering a game is preordering things in the video game that isn't out yet.

this is pre-ordering a pre-ordering

you pay for the potential of a game

pay for hope

oh their persistent interconnected server thingy tanks the frame down to like 10fps on the strongest cpus

[next rapids]

i want to say i laughed when i heard server meshing was a disaster but there was no laughter

[charred quail]

bro just pay bethesda to work on the persistent thing they have been doing it since oblivion on a shitty engine

[next rapids]

that's their problem they insist on trying to reinvent the wheel with every mechanic they want in the game

mfw the 10 year old tech demo is struggling to add 20 year old tech

[charred quail]

I have had 2 friends who bought the game to test out their new system only to drop it after a couple hour because there's nothing to do

[tribal crypt]

Unironically getting server meshing to work right would be huge

But

With how long it's taking them

[charred quail]

I bet they patented the tech and are selling it to mmo developers in Korea or something

[tribal crypt]

It ain't happening

Like I've already seen a different game that is doing similar server tech

And they've already been doing it better than them

And it has been in dev for a shorter time

And they don't even have close to CIGs funding

[next rapids]

i got it at a discount and committed slight tax fraud so it was even cheaper. It's cool to look at but yeah there's not really anything to do, and when there is it's broken

[charred quail]

gotta pay for all the hollywood movie stars and redo the mocap from the start, they don't have money to hire more devs

i honestly wonder how they justify everything

[charred quail]

holy hell I mean No Man's Sky literally has co-op mode where you can be a billion light years away from your friends and both of your bases will stay persistent

that was a funny thing to add to nms, considering the scale of it

[latent moat]

Reminder that Chris originally tried to create a space sim back in 1999

[charred quail]

lol

[latent moat]

He promised it would release in 2001, it didn't, game was meant to come out for windows so MS acquired the company and had them actually complete it and it released in 2004 heavily cut down in the scope Chris promised

Chris was also fired the second MS bought out the company in like 2002

They were making little to no progress at all under him

Sound familiar?

Star citizen is freelancer 2.0 except no one can stop Chris this time

And after realising people will still pay him why should he even release a complete game? Now it's better for him to feature creep all the time to push the release date all that further

[empty ivy]

I haven't screamed so loud in ages.

chooses to play a Korean MMO, picks the worse control scheme, makes fun of it, makes fun of the tutorial section in an MMO

it's probably a mid game anyways since it's korean and MMO but damn

[brittle portal]

...hasn't dunkey always been kind of obnoxious

[charred quail]

trying to do a pseudo-review of a game with a negative mindset from the getgo is just bitchless behavior

[brittle portal]

like this is the fucking knack 2 meme guy

he's always been obnoxious.

[charred quail]

yeah he was annoying before but he actually reviewed games

now he just shitposts and it's not even funny

[brittle portal]

he actually reviewed games?

i thought he was always just shitposting.

[charred quail]

like a year ago he was actually reviewing new games

[brittle portal]

...okay maybe i can't be the best judge because I always knew him as the Knack 2 guy and as such I never actually watched him cause I hated that fucking meme

seriously i was in a discord and people would say that shit constantly

like, imagine just sitting and hearing people say the least funny shit you've ever heard for like 10 minutes straight in a VC

[charred quail]

lol

dunkey's fanbase pretty much

[brittle portal]

yeah

i don't talk to any of those people anymore

[charred quail]

I remember when he actually did reviews honestly and shat on uncharted 4 because it's a Sony movie-game with no actual gameplay and people hated him for it so he made another video a year later praising it because he was losing subscribers

[brittle portal]

my ass could not run a review channel

i literally sometimes just hate shit based on vibes.

sometimes things just have bad vibes and i don't like 'em

though it would be funny to like, post CoD campaign "reviews"

but it's just me playing through the campaigns, one take, no cuts, no commentary, the only things you hear are just me yawning occasionally, and then getting up from my chair once i'm done.

It’s about 8-10 hr dlc. But can be done in about 4ish hrs. I think Bethesda over hyped it abit. And it also can be a 15$ dlc set of 30$

But overall. It’s not awful. Just could’ve done abit more to the dlc and make it abit longer

[latent moat]

Yeah should've been $20 max for what it offers

True true if most.

Fuck it, give us bonus creation credits with the dlc atleast

Genshin impact on ubicent launcher ?

[cobalt spade]

Call of duty is coming to Ubisoft launcher and Ubisoft plus

[indigo gyro]

Call of duty should be everywhere tbh

[cobalt spade]

Except epic games store

[indigo gyro]

Maybe activision don’t like epic games free games giving

[cobalt spade]

Epic games pays for the free games, so it doesn't affect them really

Amazon does it too but they pay for it

[indigo gyro]

You don’t get less than 50-60% off sale so making it free will sound scary for activision people

[cobalt spade]

Epic games don't take cut from ingame purchases

Unlike steam

[indigo gyro]

Ohhh

[cobalt spade]

I think the reason call of duty isn't on EGS is because of the Activision deal with Microsoft, and agreements given out to valve, Nintendo and Sony to have call of duty

Epic isn't on that agreement

[indigo gyro]

Cod on epic engine would be cool

But as you said epic don’t get close to cod

[cobalt spade]

I used, but not anymore. The game isn't what it used to be a few years ago

Weird crossovers, membership and microtransactions like Fortnite, weird operators ruined the game

[indigo gyro]

Same stopped playing it long ago I don’t know if i stopped playing because I got bored of the game or the game has changed

[indigo gyro]

Some operators ability looks stupid

And some of them are just same thing with a twist

Like bandit battery for electricity
‘then they added kaid ratila

It’s not bad but it’s not very unique it’s just same thing but done differently

[cobalt spade]

The futuristic operators, and recently they added a disabled person as an operator

[indigo gyro]

Disabled person as an operator

What’s the issue with it

[cobalt spade]

Disabled person controls a robot and you can switch between two of those.. Siege doesn't deserve the Tom Clency's name anymore because it doesn't have the theme. And making him roll in his grave

[next rapids]

it's actually a really cool operator, you play as a robot instead of a person

[tribal crypt]

It's fucking silly that the operator could make robots but not new legs

[indigo gyro]

I don’t know how to react about this dude I feel like it’s fine I don’t see it being an issue

Sure but they're just trying to tick boxes with labels

such as disabled

with that operator

[next rapids]

not really a problem by itself

they made it into an interesting mechanic

[tribal crypt]

It's just not done tastefully at all imo

[ivory onyx]

Zain was a better disabled operator

[indigo gyro]

Who

Zain Malik

Nice British singer

[latent moat]

[indigo gyro]

[austere sonnet]

And holographic feckers

Also could’ve made it in a nerdy character using robots

[lost kelp]

not the sharpest tool in the shed

[sacred iron]

Although of course you’ve got that new Rainbow Six game in the works now, who knows what that’ll be

[ivory onyx]

It will be the bomb

(that can be taken 2 ways so I'm safe whichever way it launches)

[charred quail]

ubisoft's share jumps 30% all because of that bullshit news they are being bought out by tencent

[tribal crypt]

Investors be coping

[sacred iron]

I swear it wasn’t long ago where companies laughed at the idea of buying them

[cobalt spade]

Ubisoft survived being bought by vivendi

Microsoft should try to buy Ubisoft, assassin's Creed and siege are quite profitable. But don't think regulators will let that happen

[lost kelp]

honestly this sounds like a good way to raise stocks

[charred quail]

I don't think the family will sell, it's quite obvious they have money to burn and they have been doing so leisurely for years now, why would this year be any different that they would have to sell to Tencent

[lost kelp]

maybe i should do that

[charred quail]

just need to have a platform big enough to sell these rumors

and you can't be invested in the stock otherwise it would be illegal

[lost kelp]

nowadays all you need is Chinese bots spreading misinfo on socials

[lost kelp]

who said about legality

https://tenor.com/view/wolf-of-wall-street-leonardo-di-caprio-jordan-belfort-gif-14216695

[sacred iron]

To me it definitely sounds like just a measure to get stock prices up without needing to do anything. I recall this sort of thing happening before

[cobalt spade]

Investors are not happy with SW Outlaws performance and skeptical about AC Shadows. Ubisoft could be sold with an investor staged takeover which almost happened with Vivendi but it fell off. Same thing happened to Take Two, the old CEO got fired

[sacred iron]

I’d be fine saying goodbye to Guillemot

After what he’s said recently I’d be more than happy lol

[charred quail]

the Guillemot holds 15% of the company, Tencent still holds 9.7%, Ubi employees hold a total of 3.5%

their share target price is still 17 euro, organically it will take a year or so to get there, or when they release shadows and it's a massive hit

revenue and profit this quarter are all great compared to previous quarter

no reason to sell

[latent moat]

Man is straight up geriatric now

Can't even correctly name his games lol

[sacred iron]

I just hope that splinter cell, and assassin’s creed, and ghost recon, and far cry, and rainbow six all do very well now

Oh yeah they did trials fusion didn’t they

That’s the game that would always be on the PlayStations and Xbox’s at Game haha

[charred quail]

I don't think the games will do well if they fall in the hands of tencent

[sacred iron]

They own everything at this point

[cobalt spade]

Assassin's Creed isn't gonna do well. Last farcry was very mid, they indefinitely shelved watch dogs, suffocating siege

[dusky crow]

they shelved the game they've been streaming a few times this past week?

[cobalt spade]

No new watch dogs game in development because legion was bad

[dusky crow]

any source on that?

I don’t think I can trust you any more Del

[cobalt spade]

That leaker is credible

Literally says rumour in the title

Either way, it’ll probably get a remake soon lol

[ivory onyx]

[sacred iron]

There was that Ubisoft survey that got sent out to folks with some questions on ghost recon and the like

[ivory onyx]

Daily brain rot

[sacred iron]

Take that as you will

[dusky crow]

does he actually leak stuff cause in one video he's just reading an insidergaming article, from tom henderson

[cobalt spade]

His leaks regarding AC Shadows were accurate

[charred quail]

high praises

[dusky crow]

well where are they

i opened the first thing about assassins creed shadows (formerly project red) and the first thing i see is insider gaming

[cobalt spade]

https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/s/Xxpxk8B9YP

[dusky crow]

well the video is gone now so lucky you, i cannot see if he was just reading from insider gaming again

but considering that every other video he's made about supposed leaks from ubisoft about ac shadows has him just reading form insider gaming, I am going to safely assume that he is just reading from that

[tribal crypt]

Fextralife is a joke

[random tartan]

Still living that 2010 era

before CoD went trash

[random tartan]

MW19 started the downhill spiral

[ivory onyx]

wowowo

[random tartan]

You know why

[ivory onyx]

skins?

[random tartan]

No

[brittle portal]

MW19 was the best of the modern CoD's. Which is not saying it's good. It's just better than the other ones.

[cobalt spade]

Black ops 4 exists

[timid kindle]

Yea that game having the worst zombies I ever seen and no campaign threw it for me

Black out was fun

[cobalt spade]

Battle royale before warzone

[timid kindle]

Imagine making a cod game without a campaign

Fucked up big time

[cobalt spade]

Battlefield also did with bf2042

[timid kindle]

Then they realized it was a stupid idea and started making campaigns again

[timid kindle]

I don’t play battlefield anymore

2042 is like over 100 gigs on xbox and don’t have space

[brittle portal]

I mean, MW19's campaign wasn't much to write home about, aside from the historical revisionism, and everything past that is even less worth talking about.

[timid kindle]

Huh lol

[brittle portal]

The only reason I somewhat care about Cold War's campaign is because I really like the concept of the hidden ending where the soviets win. Because I just think that's a neat thing for them to add, especially considering it would make sense because Adler's plan was incredibly stupid.

[brittle portal]

i've talked about this like twice before

[cobalt spade]

Cod is going down after black ops 2?

Black ops 3 campaign also sucked

[brittle portal]

okay

Black Ops 3's campaign, I think it's more interesting than a lot of people give it credit for.

[timid kindle]

Train go boom

[brittle portal]

yes ha ha train go boom.

like i realize that the vast majority of the CoD playerbase are not the kind of people that are typically paying attention when playing a campaign

so I guess it makes sense that Bo3's campaign wouldn't be recieved well

[random tartan]

Me personally, it’s way better than MW19

[cobalt spade]

It doesn't have a lot of connection with the black ops universe except zombies

[brittle portal]

it takes place after the canon ending of black ops 2.

the drone strikes of 2025 are the entire reason the D.E.A.D systems exist, and why the world is the way it is.

[cobalt spade]

Next cod is rumored to be a semi futuristic bo2 sequel

[brittle portal]

Menendez is even mentioned by name

and that's not even mentioning Nova 6.

[random tartan]

People are saying it’s BO2 remastered

[brittle portal]

Bo2 can't fit into the new CoD timeline.

[cobalt spade]

Tom Henderson says it's a semi futuristic bo2 sequel

[brittle portal]

what if Tom Henderson was wrong.

[random tartan]

Tom Henderson isn’t always right

Plans and info can be changed at anytime

[cobalt spade]

Bo2 is set in the future where other BOs take place before bo1

Bo3 and 4 doesn't count

[ivory onyx]

remember all those things he claimed about 2042? 🥹

[cobalt spade]

What about the next battlefield

[random tartan]

[brittle portal]

they all take place in the same universe considering that Zakhaev is present in Black Ops Cold War.

Bo3 does count because it takes place right after Bo2's canon ending

[cobalt spade]

Sledgehammer should make AW2 or Ghost 2

[brittle portal]

Bo2 cannot take place in the same timeline that MW19 takes place on.

[random tartan]

SHG been wanting to make AW2. But Activision throw them on other projects

[cobalt spade]

actually bo4 had a campaign but it was scrapped

[brittle portal]

So it doesn't matter.

scrapped, doesn't count.

doesn't exist as far as the timeline is concerned

[random tartan]

All BO games still connected through zombies

[cobalt spade]

Infinite Warefare was hated when it came out

[brittle portal]

Zombies Timeline =/= The Rest of The CoD Timeline

Zombies is not connected to anything else.

It's its own thing.

[cobalt spade]

It's connected to black ops

And world at war

[brittle portal]

It's a seperate timeline.

[random tartan]

If it’s not connected then zombies wouldn’t be in Warzone

The zombie story won’t be in Warzone especially around Halloween

[brittle portal]

I am deliberately ignoring Warzone because Warzone's stupid and that means i'd have to figure out what Vanguard is doing there.

[cobalt spade]

They should make another world at war instead of vanguard

[brittle portal]

nah we don't need another WW2 game

[random tartan]

Warzone connects every game together

[brittle portal]

i mean if you wanna try to figure out how that works go right ahead.

I am generally of the opinion that Bo2/Bo3 have been scrapped off the timeline. Cold War goes after Bo1, and past that is the new MW trilogy.

Maybe Vanguard is around WaW but i donno about that

[random tartan]

seasonal narratives of other games

[brittle portal]

you can figure out how that works.

[random tartan]

Every game installment

[brittle portal]

i am gonna stick to strictly separate Zombies and everything else timelines.

[random tartan]

Operation Deadbolt zombie story is in Warzone 2 due to MWIII

[brittle portal]

seems self-contained to Zombies considering it's not mentioned anywhere else.

[random tartan]

It ties MW and Zombie story together

Due to Ghost

[brittle portal]

how do you fit that into the regular timeline then. where does the zombies stuff fit in between all the campaigns, why does none of it come up in the campaigns.

Zombies stuff seems fairly apocalyptic in scale, can't imagine there'd be much time to worry about whoever the fuck MW22's campaign was about

So, apparently QC is planning to transition to a server browser system with player-run dedicated servers, as accounts, matchmaking, and live services will be gone soon.

There aren't gonna be any more update seasons, though minor updates will continue.

I think that's fair. I don't see a problem with that.

If it means the game will remain playable, then i'm all for it.

[random tartan]

Here’s mine

[brittle portal]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAtv6m2ywx8 So, this is a guy with an RGH mod on old-gen Bo2, using it to get rid of cheaters and infection kids in lobbies.

That's pretty cool.

[random tartan]

That was me back in the days

I did that also

I played BO2 legit, when I saw a cheater. I boot them offline.
One time when a cheater was getting pissed at me, as I was laughing my ass off. I made him rank 0. So he couldn’t enter a MP match at all.

[brittle portal]

oh yeah, that's something he's doing now as well.

32-bit prestige, clips that freeze/crash the game if you try to look at or delete them, and frozen classes.

Renders them entirely unable to play the game.

[random tartan]

Best way to go against a cheater. Is to have a mod menu

I did the same for gta online.

Old gen lobbies was bad. Extremely awful

[brittle portal]

I'm sure. I'm on PC.

honestly, GTA Online is just kind of ass anyway, even without dealing with modders.

It's a primary reason why I hate Rockstar.

[latent moat]

yeah those shader compilations

This is why I always am pro-in house game engine if it's not too hard for the devs

People really wanted DICE to abandon the engine they popularised the franchise with

If 2042 was UE5 it would've been even worse on launch honestly

Nortlight(Remedy), RE Engine(Capcom), Decima(Horizon, Death Stranding) and ForzaTech(Forza, Fable) and more all look incredible and imo in some cases better than UE5

Because the people behind them are talented, no talent brain drain like with DICE from 1 and V to 2042, they retain it and train the new ones

As a result of this, fortunately, Epic actually have a responsibility to get their shit together with UE

[random tartan]

[brittle portal]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[shut wigeon]

Overpriced

[timid kindle]

Wouldn’t say that all games now are 70 bucks

They went up in price

10$ more isn’t nothing tbh

it’s a remake so I can see them pricing it at 70

[next rapids]

standard

i'll get it through my own means but i am looking forward to it

[timid kindle]

[next rapids]

game prices have been absurd for ages now

especially in the uk

nothing new

[timid kindle]

There’s a movie coming out

Return to silent hill

[latent moat]

Tbf it has alot more content than the original

[timid kindle]

Yea

[charred quail]

it's also standard price

due to inflation

[latent moat]

Yeah $70 is just the norm unfortunately. But atleast the game tries to justify charging that much

MGS 3 remake seems to be going that route too, some amount of extra content for that game too supposedly

[charred quail]

anything between 60-70$ is reasonable imo

people are saying it takes 20 hours to finish the game on hard mode

[latent moat]

The original only took like 6 hours to finish too, didn't it

[charred quail]

yeah

normal mode in this one takes about 10 hours

[brittle portal]

I've heard that the SH2 Remake's good. Performance seems to be iffy, but UE5, so i guess that's to be expected.

[charred quail]

yeah reception so far is that it's great, besides the stuttering

[brittle portal]

like i get it, Bloober Team bad, if this were an original game they made i'd be skeptical.

[next rapids]

that would be really nice, i assumed it was only qol changes

[charred quail]

layers of fear wasn't that bad lol, just buggy af

[next rapids]

speaking of remakes i'm kinda ok with until dawn so far, it would be nice to have the changes be optional but the new music, etc make for a slightly more fresh experience

[charred quail]

the jerma baby gag is always funny

[next rapids]

i really liked layers of fear, the og at least

[charred quail]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Q24i42IcUE

devs were so embarrassed they considered shutting down iirc

[next rapids]

wow

[brittle portal]

Layers of Fear was okay. I hated the DLC. Layers of Fear 2 was mostly forgetable. I only liked half of Observer. Layers of Fears removed the Jerma baby gag. Blair Witch was very clearly them wanting to make a Silent Hill game but not being able to get the IP at the time so they just got Blair Witch instead and made Quiet Forest. Fuck The Medium, I'm not even gonna give it any more explanation than that.

[charred quail]

you played a lot of their games lol

[brittle portal]

yes.

I didn't play Layers of Fears actually

but it is the first two games remade in UE5 so

technically i did

Bloober Team's writing is generally ass and that's really bad for psychological horror

I will be sad if Control 2 is not on Steam

because Control is.

tencent is funding them this time, not epic I think

so it should be on steam

Alright, good.

"Silent Hill 2 received "overwhelmingly negative" reviews from critics, according to review aggregator website Metacritic.[20][19] 13% of critics recommended the game, according to OpenCritic.[21] it is considered to be the worst remake ever and worst game of 2024 thus far. American YouTuber theRadBrad was sued by Konami for $780 billion for playing the game early. theRadBrad filed for bankruptcy the next day and closed his YouTube channel."

I have a strong feeling new halo game will blow out of the water

[empty ivy]

People forget about halo a week after it releases.

[random tartan]

Only the real one stays

[latent moat]

idk how to feel about moving to ue5

But 343 looked like they really hated slipspace anyways so eh

[empty ivy]

Holy shit

The wave 50's are insane.

The volume of enemies that assault and the speed that they get is insane.

[sacred iron]

It was fun to be honest

[empty ivy]

It is.

I'm not gonna deny that. Games these days just don't last long in peoples heads.

[sacred iron]

Understandable

Being a free to play fps in this day and age means you have around a year to play it before numbers drop low enough where you can’t anymore

[empty ivy]

Nothing lasts.

[sacred iron]

And paid ones are even worse

Which is so sad when a gem like splitgate comes around

[empty ivy]

I feel this even more because I'm in damn OCE.

So like

They last for 6 months

[sacred iron]

Yeah if I can’t even find matches in eu then that doesn’t bode well for you :/

[empty ivy]

It is what it is unfortunately.

I want to properly get into final fantasy 14.

and a load of grindy single players.

[sacred iron]

It’s ironic how the fear of missing out due to player counts is more of a push than any monetary engagement system they can throw at us

[empty ivy]

Sorry what you mean?

[sacred iron]

Well, all these games try their hardest to keep you playing something through daily rewards, battle passes etc - but for these kinds of shooters it’s the mere fact that in 6 months it’ll be unplayable that’s more of a driving force to play it

[empty ivy]

Oh yeah for sure

Multi is temporary. Sp is forever.

[sacred iron]

When splitgate 2 comes out I almost have to play it as much as possible or else I’ll never get the chance again

[empty ivy]

Literal FOMO

[sacred iron]

It’s one thing I’ll always hate this BP, daily challenges type engagement system for is aiding in killing off new shooters

But yeah, singleplayer sticks around as always

[empty ivy]

The game isn't build from the ground up to sruvive without it and so when it's gone it's left to fester.

Terraria is amazing almost 13 years later.

It's why 2042 doesn't have a stable playerbase because it relies on the BP.

I wish they did what halo did and make it so that when the pass is out you can just do it whenever.

Don't directly call them battle passes call them the seasonal packs.

Hey that's good.

[sacred iron]

Yeah that kind of thing is great

[empty ivy]

Nvm the fact that it's free.

[sacred iron]

But I’m guessing their monetisation team want people to be playing then and now

There and then even, you get it

[empty ivy]

I think halo has a specific gameplay style and while it isn't for me. It at least gives something to do.

Battlefield needs a decent basis like oh service stars, a proper leaderboard, make people sought higher and higher.

Doesn't feel like that anymore.

[sacred iron]

What hurts as well is how most of the singleplayer games I do like are owned by Ubisoft and ea, who are in a pretty bad spot right now lol

[empty ivy]

Yep

[sacred iron]

So even singleplayer games don’t feel safe

Goddamn item shops in assassin’s creed

Battle passes, challenges and skins aren’t what keep me playing titanfall 2

But that has several hundred skins you can get for free anyways

At the moment I return to 2042 here and there just to top up on aim practise but beyond that it’s just singleplayer stuff

[empty ivy]

Ultrakill yadda yadda

Like what I posted earlier.

Become even better.

At the sayingof that

I'm surprised terraria hits round 30K + for an SP. game.

It hit 400K players when 1.4 came out.

Which is amazing.

[sacred iron]

And it’s still being updated haha

So many final updates

Satisfactory, doorkickers 2 and Skyrim have been my go to for a long while

[empty ivy]

I need to do full on modded skyrim

I'm getting a little bored of new vegas

[austere sonnet]

Add in guns to Skyrim

[sacred iron]

Already did

Paid mod tho

[austere sonnet]

play as a dwarf

[austere sonnet]

But more guns is always nice

Add in power armor to Skyrim to

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/30317?tab=images

[sacred iron]

How far were you thinking of modding it?

I know I’ve only gone graphics and patches but I’m now 150 hours in alone

[sacred iron]

I’m guessing final fantasy 15

Always worth doing research beforehand

[empty ivy]

I dunno. Just need new shit to do.

[sacred iron]

Well Skyrim definitely has a lot haha

[charred quail]

someone I know irl is on the stalker documentary lol

small world I guess

[random tartan]

Ngl. That documentary is heart touching.

Devs worked as a family and did everything to resume development on the game.

I give them major props more than other dev teams in the world

[sacred iron]

I sincerely hope launch goes well

There will no doubt be technical issues, but I just hope people approach critique with respect

but it's the internet, so I'm daoubtful everyone will feel the same way

[charred quail]

100% will be review bombed by russians

[tribal crypt]

Steam discussions is gonna be a whole nother war

[sacred iron]

I don't think i've ever looked at steam discussions

guides, yeah, but it's depressing what i've seen there

[onyx nest]

Not really a game but The Devil's Rejects is free on game pass for some reason.

and I'm also excited to learn that apparently long ago I bought the Dante's Inferno movie. That's exciting

[charred quail]

what is it if not a game? Movie?

Silent Hill 2 has the best handkerchief physics I've ever seen

Twitter · Oct 7, 2024, 1:31 AM

[next rapids]

installing it now, can't wait

never played it

[spark oxide]

everytime i purchase a new Ubisoft title

[charred quail]

you don't like playing the boyband frolicking in a giant featureless field, hitting bees and other insects with giant swords for 30 times?

[lost kelp]

Yep anotha remake of an old popular title

[spark oxide]

i love that analogy

[spark oxide]

literally

[sacred iron]

No cause that’s what I do with my mates on a Tuesday

[spark oxide]

only remaster i bought by choice was the Red Dead one for that sweet next-gen 4K 60fps experience of a PS3 era title

i was very satisfied

[charred quail]

it's nice to have a remake of silent hill 2 because nobody would want to play the original game in 2024

[next rapids]

yeah literally me

i always heard that it was great but i never played and never would

i think remakes aren't all bad, people exaggerate a lot

[tribal crypt]

Someone should tell Sony that you don't need to "remaster" things that released on ps4

[charred quail]

LOL

[sacred iron]

It’s just another name for a next gen upgrade

[charred quail]

they won't stop until people stop buying those remastered versions

it's so easy for them, literally just a graphical upgrade and they print more money

[next rapids]

i think the playstation stuff makes some sense sometimes because it means the game also comes to pc, but like with horizon when there already is a pc version and they remaster that too... lmao

i'm happy with until dawn, the og looked great but this takes it up a notch and also brings it to pc, which i was actually really excited for

but horizon, tlou getting like 4 re-releases

meh

[indigo gyro]

I am fine with horizon remaster

Until dawn type games are boring just like silent hill and Alan wake ii

[next rapids]

horizon i just don't see the need whatsoever

[charred quail]

don't bother

[indigo gyro]

I don’t see need for until dawn either

[next rapids]

the game looked amazing and already got a pc port, this is actually just milking

[indigo gyro]

But it’s ok people like that so they rebuilt it
