Unoptimized ue5

[sacred iron]

Although the open world setting seems to have had the exact impact I expected when it comes to location design and a life

[brittle portal]

i wonder what UE5 would be like if it was ever optimized.

[charred quail]

it's as I thought, indoor locations look horrible

[random tartan]

When it’s optimized, they will make ue6

[charred quail]

it's exactly like how interior was designed in the first stalker

which is insane to say

it has been over 15 years

[random tartan]

As in details or graphics?

[sacred iron]

A part of me honestly wishes it was instance based again

[charred quail]

details

[random tartan]

I mean it’s a abandoned wasteland

[charred quail]

it's like those houses on the desert map in 2042

there's nothing inside

it's just flat

maybe mods will fix it

[random tartan]

I seen vids of people exploring there before. Very identical tbh

[charred quail]

they seem commited to pushing out the mod tool

yeah but real life Chernobyl is abandoned, the zone isn't

[random tartan]

For community ye. Many things community can do for the game and the map

It’s all fallout

I know someone will make a fallout mod or buildings to the game

I see it already

[sacred iron]

One reason for what I said. When you make it 64km^2 you can’t have nearly as much detail as you want

And a life simply isn’t going to be a world wide simulation like it was, they are most definitely just spawning people in within a radius around you

[latent moat]

screw mp, I wanted trains

like they explicitly showed in multiple gameplay reveals

[brittle portal]

RIP the Cyberpunk trains, yeah.

[latent moat]

they were like "yeah we'll add trains post launch"

never did

Guess I'll get the game on steam again for that

that and so I can make chromed up V

[random tartan]

Ik. But I love his reaction to it

[polar wren]

Found a couple of bugs in stalker 2 but like these are harmless and a easy fix for the devs

[sacred iron]

I’m loving what I’m watching I won’t lie, looks very good

[elfin lark]

So does stalker 2 run well or not

I’m reading what y’all are saying and can’t tell

[shut wigeon]

Is it 30fps

[elfin lark]

That’s fucking rough lol

Reckon I’ll hold off if she’s performing like that right now

[sacred iron]

Watch benchmark videos covering your setup

[shut wigeon]

His setup is PlayStation

[timid kindle]

Wait so stalker 2 takes place in Chernobyl

Looks like a shit hole

[elfin lark]

Surprisingly i have a pc now

[sinful haven]

Finally we can play Roblox Phasmo

We’ll get crab, angra, ice and d0k

And make sure we turn on the mic settings on Roblox

[pallid thistle]

Roblox when?

[sinful haven]

I dunno we gotta ask angra

Bless

Crab if he’s awake and d0k

[pallid thistle]

You getting foxhole any time soon bud?

[austere sonnet]

sadly I took up an extra of work

[shut wigeon]

It has performance mode but I don’t think it ever reaches 60fps. This game is making me motion sick.

[rapid summit]

Photo mode finally arrived in stellar blade

[elfin lark]

I don’t have that unlocked anyways

[pallid thistle]

Yeah I figured that

[pallid thistle]

Oh boy been seeing this a lot lately

[indigo gyro]

voted stellar blade for best action game

it is either wukong or stellar blade

for me

[pallid thistle]

More like wokekong

[austere sonnet]

So many lads too in the vc but monie calls

[austere sonnet]

[pallid thistle]

Yeah I had company over tonight as well or I’d be hoping on 😭 I work all weekend but hope to get my PC set up next week

[indigo gyro]

[pallid thistle]

We all choosing stellar blade because of gameplay

[indigo gyro]

it is really fun combat system

the best i found in this year

second i will say wukong

last year it was final fantasy xvi

[pallid thistle]

That’s not gonna be the reason stellar blade wins unfortunately 😂

[indigo gyro]

its a good mix of souls like combat system and hack and slash combat system

you got to parry a lot like sekiro

[pallid thistle]

No I’ve played it. It’s great. Liked it a lot

[indigo gyro]

here are the nominations for best action game
Black Myth Wukong
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
Helldivers 2
Stellar Blade
Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2
which one you selecting @austere sonnet

[brittle portal]

I donno if i'm even gonna bother watching the game awards unless i'm watching it in a voice chat with people.

[indigo gyro]

after wukong it is definitely bovi for me

[brittle portal]

I don't really like that they nominated a DLC for GOTY.

[pallid thistle]

Which one was the DLC 😂

[brittle portal]

They nominated the Elden Ring DLC for GOTY

[pallid thistle]

Oh they just straight up ran out of ideas then. Wow. Game awards are really picking at the bottom of the barrel huh?

[brittle portal]

yup

Also, Buckshot Roulette didn't get nominated for any indie game categories.

Balatro got nominated.

Multiple times, even.

It even got nominated for GOTY.

But Buckshot Roulette? Nothing.

I don't think that's fair.

It'll probably be rigged to shit regardless.

I donno if i'll even bother watching it unless i'm in a VC.

[pallid thistle]

I haven’t watched the game awards in years.

[indigo gyro]

they chose really good games
elden ring dlc is better than many full games so i can understand why it is nominated but i wish there was a best dlc category for it
but we got like really good nomination for example
wukong is there and final fantasy vii rebirth and metaphor

[pallid thistle]

I don’t think it’ll win GOTY. Kind of hard to justify that. But yeah one of those others will win. I would assume final fantasy is the front runner

[brittle portal]

I want Balatro to win

because it would be funny

and also cause it is just a wonderful game.

[indigo gyro]

i want final fantasy or wukong

[brittle portal]

like fuck it

balatro sweep.

[pallid thistle]

Same

[indigo gyro]

i am a final fantasy fan so if it wins i wil be happy but final fantasy doesnt win goty

[indigo gyro]

man wukong wins or not but it made many journalist cry so hard 🤣

[pallid thistle]

Omg yeah

[brittle portal]

I mean, let's not discuss why exactly journalists had a problem with the developers of that game, because doing that would be a really bad look.

let's just say journalists cried and don't elaborate.

[indigo gyro]

am i seeing tears here

[brittle portal]

right i'm sorry, not allowed to have any further context, doing that means i'm crying, apparently.

[indigo gyro]

that's you all the time so noting new here

[brittle portal]

whatever, man, i'm not playing this game.

[indigo gyro]

👍

[polar wren]

Gotta be dustborn

[brittle portal]

DEI slop flop

yeah not touching that

[polar wren]

Definitely fake

[brittle portal]

yeah i know, fake shit made by someone trying to start shit

[polar wren]

I mean there were a lot of these game failures this year

Way more than I have ever seen

[brittle portal]

yeah, but "DEI slop flop". Bleh. just reeks of channer bullshit.

[indigo gyro]

which one will you vote ?
i am confused with veilguard and suicide squad or starwars

[polar wren]

Dustborn for being true to a dei slop flop. Nothing good about that game at all, not a single one

And it was full of just sloppy garbage

[indigo gyro]

what you do in that game i selected veildguard, suicide squad or starwars because i have seen gameplay and it looks like you can definitely have some fun with those games

[polar wren]

I don't know, nobody really played it

[indigo gyro]

now that's sad

[shut wigeon]

The game is so dark you cannot see the enemies that are shooting at you

The performance is atrocious and for some reason the camera always shakes when you’re moving

The sound is all over the place as well

[polar wren]

Concord just had ugly characters, and a price tag that set it up for failure

Like nobody paying that much for a game you can play for free elsewhere

[shut wigeon]

I don’t know what to make of it. It’s definitely not a polished experience like the Metro games. I actually can’t even compare it to the metro games.

[brittle portal]

tbf it was made during a war.

[shut wigeon]

It feels outdated

[shut wigeon]

Excuses

[brittle portal]

the devs are ukrainian what do you mean

it's a valid statement, it was made during a war

[polar wren]

One of the devs died I believe

[brittle portal]

the game was even delayed due to that.

[polar wren]

From that conflict

[shut wigeon]

Should’ve delayed it further

[brittle portal]

jesus christ.

[shut wigeon]

I haven’t watched any reviews yet or what other people are saying about it

I wonder if I’m too harsh on it

[brittle portal]

i think you are considering it was made during a war.

[shut wigeon]

I don’t care about that. That’s not my problem. I’m judging a finished product

[polar wren]

Dude

[brittle portal]

it's the circumstances the developers were under as they were making the game

it's a miracle it released at all.

[shut wigeon]

That has nothing to do with you or me

When you order a steak at a restaurant you don’t expect it to be overcooked and then the chef tells you his wife left him that’s why he’s not doing his job properly

[brittle portal]

?????

[polar wren]

Dog shit analogy

[brittle portal]

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT

[shut wigeon]

When you buy an iPhone you expect it to work properly

[brittle portal]

This is like if you ordered a steak at a restaurant that's in an active warzone. You're lucky you got the steak at all!

[shut wigeon]

You don’t think about the kids who made it in a sweatshop

[brittle portal]

MAYBE YOU SHOULD

[shut wigeon]

Then I’d rather they not release it

@dusky crow am I in the wrong here

[polar wren]

You're definitely off

[brittle portal]

you're way off base my guy

[polar wren]

This shit ain't busted unplayable

[shut wigeon]

Why should we care about devs or companies. All I care about is the finished product I bought as a consumer

[brittle portal]

it's not like the devs aren't gonna update it, shit was made during a literal war.

[shut wigeon]

Shouldn’t have released it

[polar wren]

this is embarrassing to watch

[brittle portal]

THE DEVS ARE THE ONES THAT MAKE THE PRODUCT

[polar wren]

Like actually

[brittle portal]

WHY WOULD YOU NOT CARE ABOUT THEM

[polar wren]

Just stop

[shut wigeon]

They don’t care about our lives. They don’t even know you

[brittle portal]

I DON'T NEED TO KNOW PEOPLE TO CARE ABOUT THEM

[shut wigeon]

True

[brittle portal]

THEY'RE LIVING IN A WARZONE

[shut wigeon]

Not all parts of Ukraine is an active warzone

[brittle portal]

STILL

[shut wigeon]

Kyiv isn’t in a warzone

[brittle portal]

THEY ARE IN A WAR

[shut wigeon]

East Ukraine for sure

[brittle portal]

THE GAME WAS MADE DURING A WAR, It's a miracle it released at all!

[polar wren]

You have heard of the drone strikes right?

Do you keep tabs on anything

[shut wigeon]

Not a miracle it was a choice. They had to make deadlines. They kept delaying it. I wonder how much money was thrown at this project.

[indigo gyro]

it's ok you don't enjoy it
it's a game not for everyone
but you need to understand in what situation that game has been developed in
it got cancelled
got revived
covid happened
then war broke out few devs has lost their life
shifted the studio to another country but fire broke out
cyber attack and hackers
its made on uev it is already very difficult to optimize there is no game i know that runs smoothly on uev there maybe i dont know tho

games developed in perfectly fine situations are coming broken on uev but here we are talking about game that has seen the worst situation that i have ever known for a video game development

[shut wigeon]

It’s not that I don’t enjoy it. I don’t enjoy aspects of it.

[indigo gyro]

and it's fine

[shut wigeon]

It should be more polished and up to date with current games.

[polar wren]

Rare fat fucking W from dududu

[shut wigeon]

Should have more accessibility options

Devs still got paid so whatever

[brittle portal]

and it likely will be. It'll just take some time.

[shut wigeon]

You get paid to do your job

[brittle portal]

they're still gonna update the game, regardless.

[shut wigeon]

Hope so

[polar wren]

I find it funny that this game released in a much more stable and completed state than any recent game from Activision, EA, and Ubisoft.

[shut wigeon]

Debatable

[indigo gyro]

it's uev it will be still stuttering 🤣

[brittle portal]

You really need to care about the developers that make the products you buy, though.

Like, seriously.

[shut wigeon]

No I don’t want to part of cancel culture

[brittle portal]

without them you have no products.

you need the developers.

[shut wigeon]

Kevin spacey is innocent yet they’re still not allowing him to act in movies

[brittle portal]

it's not about being a part of cancel culture, it's about giving a shit about the conditions of the people making the products you buy.

[shut wigeon]

Not everyone has time for that

It’s like hearing a sob story during an X factor audition

[polar wren]

It doesn't take that much at all

[brittle portal]

it doesn't take that much time, though. it's not a significant time investment to give a shit about the people that make things.

[shut wigeon]

I’m a nice person I’m just reviewing a product and I’m not happy with it

[long lodge]

the purples are saying deranged things again

[brittle portal]

I saw that ping.

:I

[dusky crow]

I don't really have a say in the quality of the game but it is kinda bullshit that people are ripping into it as if the employees haven't been taking part in defending their country for the past few years

[brittle portal]

say that again

[shut wigeon]

We don’t know them personally.

[polar wren]

I'm losing my mind

[brittle portal]

we don't need to

[shut wigeon]

If you’re deployed you can’t work

[brittle portal]

we don't need to know them personally.

[shut wigeon]

So who made the game

Soldiers in trenches?

[brittle portal]

people who's homeland was literally getting invaded my guy

[shut wigeon]

Yet they still have their jobs and had time to work on this for years

[indigo gyro]

watch the documentary there are devs who has lost their life

[dusky crow]

One of the employees died in combat so I would believe so, yes

[indigo gyro]

that's their dedication and passion

[shut wigeon]

Its ok, try out the game to see what I’m talking about

[polar wren]

I did, for a few hours, it was fine

The performance was better than bo6

[shut wigeon]

It’s a blind walking simulator

I can’t see shit

[polar wren]

The frames were consistent

[shut wigeon]

I don’t think it ever hits 60

Maybe in the menus

[polar wren]

Well get better hardware

[shut wigeon]

Refuse to play on pc

[indigo gyro]

we know it's rough but we know in which circumstances its developed in so we being patient and has sympathy for them

[shut wigeon]

Should’ve developed it in unreal engine 4

[indigo gyro]

you already called the game outdated using old engine will make it more outdated

[polar wren]

Are you talking about the first mission when it's during the night, you do have a flashlight in the Tab section

[shut wigeon]

Not necessarily I think Cold War still looks better than all the cod games that came after it and it used an much older infinity ward engine

[brittle portal]

?????

[indigo gyro]

we got trash like death stranding people praise and you just walk in that game

[shut wigeon]

Don’t you dare that game is a masterpiece

It’s on a different level

[indigo gyro]

yep 🤣 🤣🤣
walking is good gameplay

[shut wigeon]

Part of the gameplay same in stalker and most games

[indigo gyro]

it maybe but in my opinion its in the lowest level

[shut wigeon]

Kojima is god

You need to finish death stranding you need to experience it from start to finish to understand its brilliance

[indigo gyro]

don't like any of his games except metal gear but then i enjoy splintercell more

[indigo gyro]

i don't play garbage

[dusky crow]

cold war borrowed code from iw8 while using the iw3 engine so not necessarily much older

[brittle portal]

you're not making a good argument for playing death stranding.

[dusky crow]

its like a hot rod

[brittle portal]

you actually need to shut the fuck up for a while, i think

like

just don't talk for like the next two weeks.

[dusky crow]

[indigo gyro]

like maybe death stranding has good story which i don't know but it's gameplay is absolutely not for me but i like it's graphics

[brittle portal]

not you, you're good.

[polar wren]

They're not talking to you bro don't worry

[brittle portal]

talking to him

[polar wren]

Not me 😭

[dusky crow]

i cant reverse the emote but imagine its going in reverse

[brittle portal]

just comes back from being blown to dust

[shut wigeon]

I had to feed the cats

Death stranding is more than a video game

[brittle portal]

YOU NEED TO GO IN TIME OUT DUDE

[shut wigeon]

Nah

[brittle portal]

YES THE FUCK YOU DO

[shut wigeon]

You’re being so mean

[indigo gyro]

i like it's graphics and that's it

decima is made by horizon zero dawn devs so the engine that death stranding uses it's not theirs and which is fine because nowadays every game dev is moving away from their own engines which is sad imo but many devs uses their own engine still

[shut wigeon]

Thank god it uses that engine

[indigo gyro]

but i wish kojima god can develop a better engine himself

[polar wren]

I'm never forgetting this stupid shit for a week. I learned today is that Mr poopface has a fucked up moral perception and dududu made a great w that I never would've believed happened if I didn't see it.

[shut wigeon]

I’m super compassionate and just cos I judge a video game that is full price so I judge it accordingly it doesn’t mean I’m not

[indigo gyro]

no zor isn't that bad he just not enjoy stalker ii and it's fine

[polar wren]

I don't care if you hate stalker 2, it was the moral perception of the devs struggle that got me all twisted today

[brittle portal]

i'm super compassionate

your statements and actions say otherwise, don't think i didn't notice you replying to me saying "trauma dump". >:I

[indigo gyro]

bro you could play it on gamepass day 1 isn't it

[dusky crow]

Away i go
xiaohongshuuuu 💸

[brittle portal]

see ya snoop

[polar wren]

Like shit the game does have issues, from bugged NPCs, textures going fucky wucky, and enemies spawning out of nowhere

[brittle portal]

but damn the game got very close to not being released at all.

hell, i think it was fully scrapped like twice.

[polar wren]

Performance however I can't have a say as I have an extremely powerful PC that cost me alot of money. And shit it runs smooth like butter

[indigo gyro]

i saw fg is not that bad in stalker ii like it is responsive even when fg is turned on is it true ?

frame gen i mean

[polar wren]

Frame Gen is good but I can't tell the difference.

[shut wigeon]

Shouldn’t be full price

[indigo gyro]

you could refund it

[polar wren]

What shouldn't be full price was that 4090 I bought

[brittle portal]

Shouldn't be full price

why not

it's a new game that just came out.

[long lodge]

frame gen doesn't do anything for responsiveness

[vestal crystal]

Low effort bait. @foggy nova would be proud

[indigo gyro]

no i mean it add latency isn't it ?

[long lodge]

at least some yeah

[shut wigeon]

Not every new game is $70

[indigo gyro]

yeah yeah that's what i was talking about

[polar wren]

You're right, they're not, it's 70$

[shut wigeon]

Fixed it

[brittle portal]

actually it's $60 in the US

just looking at Steam right now

[shut wigeon]

If R* wants me to pay $150 for gta 6 I’d pay that no problem I know they gonna deliver

[brittle portal]

You know Rockstar arbitrarily forced workers to come back to the office after working from home for a while and getting used to doing that.

[shut wigeon]

How is that relevant

[brittle portal]

they didn't need to do that. seems like a dick move of them to do that.

it's conditions of the people making the product.

[shut wigeon]

It is what it is. Workplaces tend to have a HR department

[brittle portal]

probably crunching like hell.

[shut wigeon]

They should complain there if they don’t like their working conditions. It has nothing to do with discussing video games here.

[indigo gyro]

usually when performance isnt good on day 1 people give negative reviews but in stalker ii case i am seeing very positive

gamers sometimes makes me happy

[brittle portal]

well yeah, STALKER fans generally expected it to be a bit rough.

Because STALKER generally has a reputation for being rough.

[polar wren]

It wasn't that rough, from my end at least, better than no room in hell 2

[austere sonnet]

Helldiver

[indigo gyro]

second pick will be ?

[austere sonnet]

haven’t played the rest

[indigo gyro]

[austere sonnet]

only played the multiplayer for blops 6 and terrified to touch its story like halfway of mw2019 I kinda didn’t get too into it and stoped playing it

and Cold War was kinda similar

[brittle portal]

Bo6's campaign is better than MW19's.

[polar wren]

Warhammer or helldiver would be my conflicting picks

BO6 ain't it compared to them

[austere sonnet]

Also better than Cold War? Or on par

[polar wren]

It was good but no where close to the action that was helldivers or warhammer

[brittle portal]

It doesn't have an alternate ending, but otherwise it's probably on par.

[indigo gyro]

my picks are like this
final fantasy

[brittle portal]

I'd probably take Bo6 over Cold War, but really, they both have the same issues with endings that just kind of suck

[indigo gyro]

here are the nominations for best action game
Black Myth Wukong
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
Helldivers 2
Stellar Blade
Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2

[indigo gyro]

from these i will pick
1 stellar blade
2 black myth wukong
3 bovi

[shut wigeon]

Black ops 6 shouldn’t be there

[indigo gyro]

bovi should be everywhere

[shut wigeon]

Bovi

[indigo gyro]

nice emoji

[austere sonnet]

Brings bad vibes due to a user named of Mary

[shut wigeon]

What did she do to you

[austere sonnet]

I may have a lack of memory but that user was sus

[charred quail]

no you're right

[shut wigeon]

@indigo gyro messed around with the display settings and the visibility has improved so much. Game is better now. I still don’t like night time though but at least it’s not as dark.

[indigo gyro]

we have flashlight

🔦

[shut wigeon]

I know it helps but I’ve got terrible vision irl I need things to be bright. So far from what I’ve played it’s a good game. I like the environment, the mutants not so much. I looked at the map and it’s huge. I wonder if we get any vehicle cos so far I have to walk everywhere. Chernobyl for me is such a cool setting for a video game.

Bugs need to be fixed though cos it’s full of them. If the devs could iron out all the issues it’ll be an even better game. I think it’s ok if people don’t play it right now but couple of months down the line after the devs have patched some things.

[indigo gyro]

no vehicle

[ripe pike]

What about PayDay 3 ?

GOTY material if you ask me

[indigo gyro]

biggest payday iii fan

[ripe pike]

I'm joking tbh this pile of shit is some of the most disappointing crap I've played

I was waiting for this game a lot and it was just a scam

Really similar to BF2042 but at a way smaller scale

Wait for AC Shadows coop and build mechanics

It's sure going to make you forget how bland and boring stealth is gonna be

stealth has been boring since the first game lol

it's not splinter cell

the only cool factor of assassin creed is the settings and the stories

it's why I like odyssey

I see a long wind of blocked messages and I think oh an idiot has rambled here.

[ripe pike]

The open combat was good as well before it turned to complete shit because of RPG mechanics

Facing 15 enemies at once on AC3 was crazy

Now you can't defeat some group of enemies because one happens to have a "higher level" than you like it's fucking Skyrim

[indigo gyro]

it's ok but that word describes you more better and perfectly.
first of all i didn't said anything to you ever so please let's not do it.

you can block that's fine but don't use words like that when i didn't said a single thing to you in the first place

Goddamn dude I wasn't even talking about you stop being sensitive.

Truth be told I thought regardless of the context even you would have understood I wasn't talking about you.

you tell me then who are you talking about then

UE5 is the future bro, just look at all those demos epic showed off with perfect conditions and hardware

Every game should run it because it looks so realistic and lifeless

[charred quail]

Look at the shadows up my ass wowza

I hate it. Anything less than absolutely stellar is considered ‘ps2 graphics’ by the apparently supportive community, it makes people assume game mechanics need to be realistic and it leads to huge ass file sizes, load times and performance hits

[charred quail]

people just mistake style for graphic

half-life 2 still looks absolutely gorgeous

it's not sTUnNIng

[sacred iron]

As I’ve said before, I still play thief 1 to this day, Gloomwood gives me chills from its visuals still, so many games looked better because emphasis was on using the limitations of technology to produce visuals. It had a feeling of resourcefulness and personality. And while ‘realism’ isn’t just a simple toggle, we don’t get much like Dishonored 1 now

they all have shown beautiful artwork

What's the point when not even 95% people can see it at it's best though

[indigo gyro]

they look amazing in medium setting also

and its not like only unreal struggles

[tribal crypt]

absolute cope that they look amazing at medium

[indigo gyro]

i saw battlefield 2042, alan wake ii, monster hunter world struggling

they arent unreal games

when your eyes are blind yeah everything will look ugly

then there is some really artistically beautiful upcoimg games like

some of the best artistic games are made on UE

[charred quail]

delta force's hype is already gone

[tribal crypt]

No idea what dudu is trying to say

[charred quail]

it's amazing how it lost the mid-off against 2042 and cod and tarkov, when it's a newer game

[tribal crypt]

as usual

[charred quail]

even the dev admitted to taking ideas from 2042

they actively say that on their discord

[tribal crypt]

They don't even have to say anything

it's so blatant it's not even funny

[sacred iron]

it all feels to me like copying game design instead of understanding the design and making their own decisions with that in mind

[lost kelp]

Slop slop need more slop

[charred quail]

they said in the chinese channels that they are implementing more 2042 features to make the game feel better, which is just so hilarious to witness

ain't that like standard practice for chinese devs

[lost kelp]

We are undefeated in slopping

[charred quail]

getting hired to just speak English on discord sure is some cozy job lmao

[charred quail]

standard practice for chinese companies, they hire white guys to sit in meetings to make themselves look more international

it's a new thing in game development though

[next rapids]

unreal looks good but like 90% of games made with ue look the fucking same

also apparently stalker 2 has mouse accel and smoothing by default, change in config

[charred quail]

cuz nobody wants to create original assets anymore, they just go on the UE store and buy some asset packs

[lost kelp]

This is what we call in the industry "mega slop"

[indigo gyro]

hellblade ii looks different than batman arkham knight or bodycam
days gone looks completly different from final fantasy rebirth

no they dont look same

[tribal crypt]

dudu frantically trying to defend everything

💀

[indigo gyro]

wukong doesnt look like stellar blade

i like unreal engine it has performance issues but i seen performance issues with frostbite, remedy game engine and capcom game engine

performance issues are common nowadays

[charred quail]

competitive contrarian

[indigo gyro]

we see it more commonly in UE because many devs uses UE

if everyone starts using frostbite every game will be seeing 2042 lauch disaster style launch

[tribal crypt]

It's like you're following a script

it's actually unreal

[indigo gyro]

people here saying unreal games arent art

[tribal crypt]

You've missed the point completely

regular red dot sight with a secondary canted red dot sight

I could hardly call that realistic

I'd call it stupid

why don't we have a third sight mounted on the left of the gun

there is no middle ground for hunt either its trash or addicting

oh right, in delta force you get +handling per laser sight and you can add like 4 laser sights on your gun

and they stack

[sacred iron]

Incredible

[ivory onyx]

im now dumber for having watched this

double red dots are the cherry on top.. if you want to show off canted sight options use a freaking scope on the main rail

[ivory onyx]

amazing what you can get away with as a f2p game but still loaded with those MTX

[inland coral]

That’s pretty much skeleton content, idk what the player numbers for that game look like but I’d imagine it’s not a sustainable pace for them to keep anyone engaged. Funny thing is DICE released pretty much the same amount of content every few months for 2042 and (some) people defended it

If only people held Activision/EA to the same standards as they do these smaller games/studios

[brittle portal]

well, the player numbers are not really a thing because the game hasn't come out yet.

[inland coral]

I see

[brittle portal]

like, it's available only in China at the minute. It's not coming out internationally till December.

[elfin lark]

Oh is it actually releasing in December? Thought they just had another beta planned

[inland coral]

I honestly haven’t heard much of it but that’s mainly because it just doesn’t seem interesting to me. I heard it includes the same trend of specialists so I was already uninterested

[elder plover]

Granted about the f2p point and granted the gunsmithing means each weapon release is actually a bunch of smaller items as well... But most of the attachments are common across a class of weapons and in truth the last time I played the game a bunch of attachments looked a bit half baked like it didn't fit the weapon properly

It was just such a shame to see enthusiasm about the content release pacing as something to look forward to in and of itself

[brittle portal]

They're calling it the "Global Open Beta", I call it the actual launch of the game.

[elfin lark]

Ahh I see I see

[inland coral]

Oh it’s f2p? I guess the dynamic slightly changes but that also probably means you pay for literally everything so I don’t really need more games like that

War thunder secures that spot for me

[elder plover]

See that's it ... between mtx and lots of paywalls to good stuff it's still realistically a paid game

[elfin lark]

My condolences

[inland coral]

It’s ok I got to 6.0 br us tanks and somehow lost in a m4 t26 to an m109g cause the starter shells suck

I played about 20 minutes of it before I remembered I don’t give a flying fuck about military vehicles

They have a "kill civilians" button

[elfin lark]

Seems like a neat game if that’s your special interest though lol

[elfin lark]

Nuclear terrorism is also a feature, so many war crimes bro. Goated game

And oh fuck I guess when looking on YouTube I found out that the same day this game released the first ICBM was used in combat

Also this game is multiplayer

But Christ the timing of this game releasing on the day when the first ICBM was actually used in combat is fucking insane

Finished the tutorial for ICBM escalation

It's a bit complicated

More complicated game compared to defcon 1

But less complicated than hoi4

Also the missle that was used today on the 21st is a ICBM but just barely. Reportly a IRBM has a range between 3,000-5,500 km and the missle was a RS-26 which goes 5,800 km

So an ICBM was actually used for the first time in combat on the same day ICBM escalation was released.

Bbb-based?

No more IW getting their way

[charred quail]

that's great news

fuck IW

mwii was IW's top sellers but worst performer in player retention

acitivision probably learned a lesson of not allowing IW to bully the other teams into submission

[ripe pike]

L opinion bro

Free weekend for Victoria 3 on Steam. This is how Paradox gets me.

this doesn't count gamepass

[sacred iron]

It’s always the best selling game

[charred quail]

I thought gamepass would have cut into that sale

[onyx nest]

no one on game pass buys it

oh

yeah

that's what you meant, sorry

anyway, what i was actually going to say was the only time COD isn't #1 is when Rockstar releases a game probably

[latent moat]

Did you forget that a majority of the players can't even buy gamepass?

The PS5 players lol

[charred quail]

ps4 actually lmao

like 90% of the ps players are still on ps4

[latent moat]

I can't wait for cod to eventually be released on 3 seperate console generations

[next rapids]

new overwatch character is scottish

This should keep him busy

[indigo gyro]

black myth wukong won ultimate game of the year and best visual design at golden joystick awards 2024 yesterday

uev game btw

also silent hill ii also on uev

[next rapids]

gonna demolish competition at tga in every category it got nominated

[indigo gyro]

it got demolished yesterday by wukong

[next rapids]

tga is all that matters

[indigo gyro]

and in tga it isnt even nominated for main game of the year award

[charred quail]

it's kinda easy when you have a billion voters

[indigo gyro]

wukong is there

doesnt matter it wins or not

[next rapids]

real

[next rapids]

you remember what i said

[indigo gyro]

it already won ultimate game of the year at golden jostick

[elfin lark]

Of course it does, it’s literally the best game ever made

[indigo gyro]

best game of 2024 for sure

[next rapids]

that's actually a joke

[latent moat]

It's ok, Black myth wukong is.... not on this list, but that doesn't matter

Didn't know Metaphor was doing that good

I will pick it up soon

[indigo gyro]

silent hill ii has only 1800 players and all time peak of 23,676

wukong got 83,073 24 hour peak and all time peak is second highest on steam

dragon age veilguard recently released action rpg has 14,000 people playing rn while wukong got 67,904 players playing rn

there is no competition

[charred quail]

people are raving over it

but I haven't even finished the persona games

[latent moat]

I only played 3 on the psp years ago. That's my only experience with the franchise. Didn't finish it either

apparantly persona 5 takes you over 100 hours to do just the main story

[charred quail]

yeah

it's too long for a jrpg

[latent moat]

I'll give it another chance with 3Reload, which is on gamepass

[charred quail]

the music is amazing though

[indigo gyro]

if you look at that list you can see call of duty black ops vi is at top

that's the best multiplayer experience of this year imo

https://youtu.be/ILaU983xDzc

stellar blade got more stellar on psv pro

[next rapids]

wow the chinese game has lots of players, insane

[indigo gyro]

whats wrong it being a chinese game

its a great game

literally won goty at golden joystick has nomination for the game awards

didn't see silent hill ii in nomination

[next rapids]

more than one billion people 👍

talking player counts when one game is from a country with a billion people is meaningless

[indigo gyro]

games release worldwide man

[next rapids]

but even then, silent hill still has 6% of its original player count, while wukong only has 3.5% lmao

and that's despite silent hill being a 12-ish hour experience

[indigo gyro]

that 3.5% is like 45 times more players than silent hill ii

45 times more lmao

[next rapids]

i'll give you one guess as to why

[indigo gyro]

it doesn't matter from who and where it is getting played

because the count is global count

[next rapids]

it does when you're comparing apples to oranges

silent hill is like 1/3 the length of wukong and still has a higher % of its peak player count

[indigo gyro]

yeah i can't compare a goty winner to a mid game

[next rapids]

you're so silly it's almost funny

[indigo gyro]

below avg actually

[indigo gyro]

funny thing is silent hill ii got destroyed by wukong

silent hill ii wasn't even better than an indie card game 🤣🤣🤣

we got better dlc than silent hill ii

elden ring dlc

[cobalt goblet]

i want SH2R but no console.

if SH3 got a remake it would be so good

better than 2

i enjoyed 3

1 had a remake called shattered dreams but no one looked into it.

[charred quail]

jesus christ LOL

[tribal crypt]

Still quite alot of people playing

[lost sluice]

I remember being scared while playing the original sh2. Id probably get a heartattack from the remake

[cobalt goblet]

i remember the SH4 being hella scary too

sh4 was like the re7 of the franchaise

[indigo gyro]

resident evil 7 and scary what

its a cool game i like it but it wasnt not scary at all

maybe i watch too much horror movies

[random tartan]

Horror movies is the best

But as I got older from watching them a lot. They gotten less scary tbh

Still like watching them

[indigo gyro]

yeah some that has good story i enjoy them

like the home they shifted had horrible story or ghost past was horrible

or keeping everything secret and revealing it at the end

[indigo gyro]

play it
it's a great remake looks stunning too

[cobalt goblet]

boy you must've not played outlast.

[indigo gyro]

i dont like horror games
too much walking with seconds of actions
its just not for me

i am playing metro exodus and it also has horror tag in steam it has good amount of action

[cobalt goblet]

re7 was scary for me back '17
