hp10, the run and somewhat shift 2 got that rail racing right

rivals was jus a reskin of hp10 but open world with online

thats it.

[indigo gyro]

but i played 2015 the most because i enjoyed it the most

[cobalt goblet]

heat had did NFS right too with the underground culture

[twilit stream]

carbon da best

[austere sonnet]

would actually be kek if the mods gave out warning for bad naming games

But it’s a good thing they’re not doing that yet

[indigo gyro]

i have experienced that

but for not bad naming criticizing actually

[sacred iron]

tell me about it
1.0.6 was a good step forward, but man did they really hold back its potential

[twilit stream]

i swear AC wouldnt be so hated if the animations/models didnt feel so cheap

[sacred iron]

presentation is a huge factor definitely, I care more for feel and systems over looks

[twilit stream]

animations do play part in that no?

[sacred iron]

mirage's movement animations are pretty solid, but lacks no element of depth and creates no scenarios where parkour is pushed to be a practical skill worth developing

[twilit stream]

i just hate the sudden stops before every jump

it makes me uncomfortable i swear

[sacred iron]

they are intertwined, yes. But look at something like shadows, it adds flips which is supposed to make it feel more showmanship-y and cool but just slows you down while not adding anything new. yet people will praise it as the next big step because they focus so hard on presentation

I just feel like ac has now gone so long without tying its objectives, loops and systems to movement beyond simply being about gaining vantage points that they've gotten sloppy with the extent at which they will consider improving it

[twilit stream]

they havent made a parkour focused game since unity(?), i imagine it'll take them a couple more times before they could get it right

[sacred iron]

the last time parkour was actually a core pillar of the games was ac3

after that its just a means to an end, with no core system requiring the development of it as a skill

ac1 still mastered it in my eyes

[twilit stream]

ac unity had depth tho,didnt it?

[sacred iron]

it had some, moreso tied to expression through visuals over mechanics which is viable in its own right, so I won't downplay it. But unity doesn't have the chase sequences or parkour puzzles to really make it a skill core to gameplay rather than a side activity to do for fun

[twilit stream]

yeah you're right now that you mention it

parkour felt more involved in the older games,man i need to replay ac1

[sacred iron]

definitely do

[twilit stream]

havent played it in a long time

[sacred iron]

i'm writing a design blog surrounding it as we speak, just such a masterclass in tying mechanics, game loops and narrative in one focused package

[twilit stream]

ping me when you finish it

[sacred iron]

might take a week or so, but i'll let you know

my ac game sequence has been such a strange one. First played black flag, next played origins, went back to 2 and played up to rev, then played 1. The further back I go the more I find the games fill the gaps I experienced with origins

who would have thought the game I wanted was the first in the series lol

[lost sluice]

have played 6 hours of spider man 2 now without any issues, is it safe to assume that their first major update fixed most of the problems?

[ivory onyx]

outside of 2 instances of the audio in a cutscene being lagged i havent had any issues

[lost sluice]

the game runs surprisingly good aswell, can max out all settings with raytracing off and dlss set to quality in 1440p without any lag what so ever

on a rtx 3090 and 5800x3d

if only we people can upload cool screenshots

[ivory onyx]

i need to start afterburner though since evga x1 program sucks with OSD

but it definitely doesnt feel bad, im sure if i had more vram texture quality could be upped.. had it on high-was fine, went down to medium, but set it back on high and havent noticed performance issues

[lost sluice]

i used to monitor all my temps and fps and everything earlier but now with an oled i dont wanna get burnins, so ive turned off all the on screen metrics

[ivory onyx]

i wish more games would just give a damn simple fps counter option

[cobalt goblet]

fraps

[onyx nest]

fraps...now that's a name i haven't seen in a couple decades

[wet sage]

I want my next monitor to be oled

The only problem is the taskbar

It's something I wanna see all the time

[lost sluice]

i unchecked the visibility of my desktop icons and set my taskbar on autohide once i got an oled

[onyx nest]

there's a program called AutoHideDesktopIcons. you can set a specific key/mouse button to toggle the desktop icons

[tribal crypt]

I haven't done that and so far there's 0 burn in

[onyx nest]

if i had an oled i'd get a cool lava lamp background on wallpaper engine. i'm no rich boi tho

[lost sluice]

samsung claim my monitor have some advanced cooling system in it that prevent most burnins

but i dont wanna risk it

lol

heat makes burn-in worse but I don't think cooling prevents it. i might be wrong. i'm sure someone will troucne me if I am lol

Like imagine seeing a green samurai

[charred quail]

nothing they do will change anything because these people hate for the sake of it

[ivory onyx]

well that wouldnt dodge the "hurr black character in japan ree" narative

the fact they found someone in history that can be used here is more interesting .. of course the "work of fiction" still applies to the content of the game itself because you know, video game

[austere sonnet]

should’ve been British lad with a gun

[lost sluice]

the super popular series Shogun had an englishman become a honorable almost samurai in it, and everyone loved it

so it could work

It’s been funny watching the shit show

It’s like a game of how much can we fuck with the Japanese

[empty ivy]

Patapon 3 on ps+ premium oila

the problem is i knew it will be compared hardly by ghost of tsushima and tsushima combat animations are so well done but i cant say same about ac shadows combat animations but shadows has more features tho

[latent moat]

Ubisoft

[indigo gyro]

could have done two characters like in a jrpg party system

[lost kelp]

huge for 5 people who cant play poe2

[charred quail]

I've had almost 300 hours into poe2 and the endgame isn't as good as d4 endgame tbh

it's just mindless farming and trying to gamble for better stats

[lost kelp]

Isnt D4 also that

[charred quail]

no it isn't lol

it's more structured, has a variety of "gamemodes"

like if I'm bored of doing one activity I can switch to something else. In poe2 every activity is the same exact thing, you juice your map up and go in and farm for currency for better gears

[lost kelp]

well i havent played this shite since i refunded at launch so my knowledge comes from friendos

[charred quail]

d4 has changed from an Arpg with mmo lite feature to an mmo with Arpg lite feature, imo

has raids and shit now

[lost kelp]

Well Poe2 is still in early access

[charred quail]

and match making for raids holy shit

right at the start

took destiny 2 like 3 years for raid match making?

killed that game for me

"if you want to play raids just join a discord and ask people" lmao no fuck that

[charred quail]

it has basically all the previous league features from poe1, and worse crafting

[lost kelp]

yeah thats real shitty

[charred quail]

they will add more league features soon yeah but for now I've played everything it could offer

[lost kelp]

fair enough

[charred quail]

the crafting is terrible though, it's just gambling with currency. Last Epoch has the best crafting imo

but the gameplay is so outdated lol

looks like a 2013 game

if you played pillars 1 and 2 and liked those game you might like this one for the story, but if you are looking for an rpg it's gonna suck

Tides of Annihilation - Extended Gameplay Walkthrough
11 minute gameplay

[next rapids]

stellar blade is a hack & slash but has heavy soulslike elements

[indigo gyro]

Tides of Annihilation looks amazing. Is the combat more like Devil May Cry/Bayonetta or like Soulslike games?

The combat gameplay is definitely more like Devil May Cry. Unlike most Souls-like titles, we also have difficulty mode selection. From the concept, we have implemented fairly simple controls for those players who would like to actually play action games without being hardcore users.

good to hear

[indigo gyro]

you missing phantom blade 0
https://youtu.be/ZX1k0z2pPY0

[viral swift]

Well I'm cautious about that game, mostly due to developer history, it was supposed to be a tie-in to a currently dead mobile game afaik

It might be good though, gameplay looks pretty good

[cobalt goblet]

im installing TXR3

🙏

[next rapids]

@indigo gyro holy fucking shit the voices are so bad in tides of annihilation

really hope they're just placeholders

the worst most generic british accent possible, with extremely weak dialogue

[indigo gyro]

dialogues are weak yes peopl are saying these are from baldurs gate iii

voice actors

[next rapids]

voice actors are only as good as the script they're given

not a fan of the main 2 girls accents, but stuff they're saying also just doesn't sound good

[twilit stream]

send me

video

[next rapids]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hU-lpWlaEs

americans being the main audience will probably not care though, they never know what a british accent is anyway

[indigo gyro]

accent is fine i have no problem but the dialogue delivery is not intense and dialogues written are weak

[next rapids]

the accent is just wrong in some parts

objectively that's not how the words are spoken

should just get an actual brit

damn it sounded like darn it, which is exactly the mistake someone would make if they're just trying to copy the accent without knowing why it sounds the way it does

[twilit stream]

https://youtu.be/lZdoa5_zkD4?si=b3mMwYSd3oP8Fv6E

[indigo gyro]

to be completely honest i dont care about the accent
i care about the intensity and emotion of how the words were spoken and i feel that delivery from both villain and main character is weak

[twilit stream]

ah a tale as old as time

[indigo gyro]

it is not the worst but need improvement

[twilit stream]

game developers always butcher foreign accents

[indigo gyro]

more important will be how long the combos list is
or it is skills and abilities that goes to cooldown
can we chain combos or not

[charred quail]

lmao who wrote these dialogues

[charred quail]

Jennifer English is literally English

I think it's the god awful dialogues that make it sound wrong

also there's something wrong about the graphic

the characters have no shadow

[next rapids]

???

I need to do further research

How have they given her a script so bad she forgets how to speak english

[charred quail]

she's so English her surname is English lmao

the longer I watch that gameplay video the worse it gets

the villain girl's dialogue is even worse

it's like Gman from half life but not Good Gman

like unintentionally bad Gman speech pattern

[tribal crypt]

It sounds like it's an AI actually talking

[charred quail]

wtf is this game lmao

[tribal crypt]

something ain't right

[charred quail]

"for something (pause for 2 seconds) else?"

bro nobody speaks like this

[next rapids]

seriously it's awful

[ivory onyx]

https://youtu.be/1zo3jPUPbeI?si=Qhx77BKj91uhAID5 as awful as this was?

[tribal crypt]

That thumbnail makes me ill

[next rapids]

jesus

jennifer english the voice of shadowheart

she was amazing in bg3 what have they done to her

[charred quail]

yeah which is baffling

the writing is so bad it makes shadowheart sounds like ass LOL

[next rapids]

hope it's not like this at launch

[indigo gyro]

voice lines are generic for sure but the delivery is also bad

[sacred iron]

johnny English proves that anyone with the surname English is instantly an icon

[ivory onyx]

Those were good movies

[mild geode]

tf is this :D

[charred quail]

Square Enix's garbage from 2023

[ivory onyx]

dudes lived with out knowing forspoken?

[charred quail]

he lived in pure bliss

that game looked and played like shit

[ivory onyx]

idk who play tested that one at the company and said yup its fine

[next rapids]

probably said it's shit and nobody cared or had the time to care

[charred quail]

it was also bad the studio got merged into Square enix's basic "Creative Business Unit 2"

[indigo gyro]

omg i was watching avowed gameplay the game has the ugliest character creator it is funny to see how bad and ugly they have made characters
dont even have voiced main character ooof
oh man how much i expected from obsidian

[charred quail]

gaming revisionism at its best/worst

[ivory onyx]

how could that game be superior in movement to spiderman

[next rapids]

voiced main character is stupid and limiting

there's a reason it's avoided

[indigo gyro]

no its laziness

[cobalt spade]

https://www.gamesindustry.biz/ubisoft-revenues-decline-314-to-990m

[next rapids]

baldur's gate 3 one of the best rpgs since like, forever, didn't have a voiced main character

do you understand how much work it'd take to voice every single dialogue option not only once, but 15 times for every possible voice the player picks?

it's much more realistic to just mute the mc and have the player imagine their voice, which is what most people want with an oc anyway

like are we forgetting one of the biggest complaints for fallout 4 was the voiced protagonist

[indigo gyro]

i like my character to speak and not a silence person
i play ff7 cloud speaks i played ffxv noctis also speaks i played ff16 clive also speaks, i am playing kcd2 henry speaks
in cyberpunk i play as female v and she speaks
i just want to say i like when my character whom i am playing as speaks

[next rapids]

think about the games you just listed lol

one voice, one voice, one voice, one voice, two voices

and the one game that does have two voices has very limited dialogue options in comparison to other bigger rpgs

[empty ivy]

The fallout option where your character doesn't say anything helps the pacing.

Cause you can internalise it.

[next rapids]

it's a gigantic waste of time and money to voice the protagonist in a game where you create your own character and voice

[empty ivy]

And imagine it yourself.

[indigo gyro]

there we have kcd2 and you told me it has the longest script ever and main character speaks
i am just my perference here i prefer my character speaking

[empty ivy]

I think it helps modding a lot more too.

[next rapids]

do you even read

[empty ivy]

Keeps it consistent.

[next rapids]

longest script ever doesn't mean it's all for henry, and like i said he's one person with one voice. Try doing the same but with 10 voices and see how far they get

[empty ivy]

By the way i meant in my example f1 to nv. To make it clear.

[indigo gyro]

bro i read what you wrote
and i said my preference how i like it and i didnt liked the silence character in avowed

[next rapids]

then say that

not stupid excuses like "well henry is voiced and kcd2 has the biggest script"

[indigo gyro]

i saide it here

[next rapids]

and in the same message brought up kcd2 even though it doesn't matter at all

[indigo gyro]

everything matters

[next rapids]

and you also called developers lazy for not voicing the mc lol

[charred quail]

example is the MC of Days Gone, all he does is mumbling and it pisses me off

[indigo gyro]

that is laziness imo

[next rapids]

it's not a matter of opinion

you're just wrong

games have budget and time constraints

if bg3 voiced every protagonist possible, which is 15, you'd need like 15000 extra lines of dialogue because of all the npcs you can interact with

[austere sonnet]

I sense fallout talk

[indigo gyro]

bro it is a studio under microsoft

[empty ivy]

I forget starfield doesn't have voice acting for the protag.

[next rapids]

what a meaningless argument

they still have time and budget constraints

[indigo gyro]

budget

[next rapids]

microsoft isn't going to give them a blank check you baboon

[empty ivy]

Throwing money and time ironically doesn't even help it either.

Why throw in all that extra effort when you can keep it simple.

[charred quail]

omg guys Gordon Freeman doesn't have a voice half life 2 is garbage nooooo

[indigo gyro]

kinda sad microsoft gives money for being lazy
would love to work for microsoft

[next rapids]

exactly, beyond it requiring colossal amounts of money and time, it's also just not needed. People who play these games prefer to headcanon their voice anyway

[next rapids]

i hope you fall on your head again one day and maybe become smart

[empty ivy]

Think i brought it up but it also helps the pacing.

[next rapids]

yes

[empty ivy]

If you're a fast reader its a brilliant way to not waste your time.

[indigo gyro]

all i said about my preference
for me it break immersion when my character doesnt speak

[empty ivy]

One other thing I really like too is when a character has a diary entry.

When they explain their thoughts in a recordable well, diary.

[next rapids]

yeah your preference and you calling developers lazy

[charred quail]

Metro series does that well

[empty ivy]

Like with mechwarrior 2 and red dead 2.

Oh yeah

[next rapids]

your opinion is whatever but if you're going to insult developers at least don't be wrong lmao

[indigo gyro]

when they are i will call it

[next rapids]

and when you're stupid i'll say it

[charred quail]

silenced character but he reads out his journal entries during the loading screens

[empty ivy]

Oh cod 1 too!

They did that there too!

[next rapids]

loading screen diary is such a cool feature

[indigo gyro]

its alright

[empty ivy]

It was a treat for cod 1 even when the game loaded it genuinely gave you a reason to not start immediately.

News about the context of the world is cool too.

[cobalt goblet]

cod 2 and 3 had that too

[charred quail]

bruh talking about metro now I want to replay exodus because stalker 2 is such a disappointment

[empty ivy]

Context err. News stuff.

[charred quail]

in-game?

lol

[empty ivy]

Yeah!

[charred quail]

duh obviously

hahaha

[empty ivy]

This is from sarna net because it's hard finding in game screenshots of mech 2.

[cobalt goblet]

i wondering if i should actually complete MC3DER rather than TXR3

[empty ivy]

"As he had not yet taught the cadets how to eject, they all died"

Not gonna lie

That's kinda funny, the way it had been written.

[desert ferry]

anyone at EA happen to know if any C&C games are coming or whether RA2/YR is getting a remaster YEP

prayge

[charred quail]

even if there's something they wouldn't let anyone know

[cobalt goblet]

ihadastroke

[desert ferry]

i know i gotta cope

[cobalt goblet]

who works in EA here (actively)

[empty ivy]

Not gonna lie my favourite insult to stuff looking like ass is just to call it AI slop.

Even if it isn't. It really muddies the waters round it.

https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/1ipk1dn/far_cry_7_plot_details/

[onyx nest]

I was going to comment on how it sounds like FC5, but then I saw all the comments and realized that it's more obvious than I thought.

[cobalt spade]

I am suspicious about that game

[onyx nest]

I couldn't get past the second mission in FC6. I'm not even going to humor FC7 unless I see some breathtaking gameplay post release

[cobalt spade]

It might have a 72 hour time limit or 24 hours in real life. Which breaks the farcry formula

Most leaks says so

[onyx nest]

i hate deadlines 😐

[cobalt spade]

It is also rumored to have an extraction mode set in Alaskan wilderness

It's gonna be similar to hunt showdown

[cobalt spade]

You have to save your family in that time limit

[onyx nest]

gonna be a problem for someone who gets distracted by every side quest

anyway, i could deal with it probably if the story is captivating and the gameplay is polished

[cobalt spade]

It's bad because farcry is about exploring

If the limit is optional or it's limited to higher difficulty then it's acceptable

Besides Ubisoft's recent games's performance makes me suspicious about their upcoming projects

I will take a farcry 3 remake over a new mediocre farcry game

[rapid summit]

The god damn black hole blew up the planet, other planets and super earth have a warning signal. I hope that black hole doesn't reach to super earth

Just as well really

Not funny, mods.

What we need is battlefield 3042

[cobalt goblet]

k

[ivory onyx]

The reason they went with just two armor pieces and not five is two-fold. They found that mixing and matching gear pieces don’t look all that great with the type of armor this setting has and another reason is to make these individual pieces more worthwhile (this is also why there isn’t set bonus).
Wow thanks feudal japan for being boring

[twilit stream]

It is a pretty boring setting

No parkour no interesting weaponry

[ivory onyx]

but they have knife thingys with chains attached to them

[merry shadow]

I killed this boss 3000 times and still don’t have the item I want from it :)))

Shit game

[ivory onyx]

write a bad review for it

"my 5k hours spent on it have been a waste"

[merry shadow]

Real

[twilit stream]

But i can see a bakimatsu AC being good

[sacred iron]

Tbf I’m glad we aren’t managing 5 armour pieces

[ivory onyx]

simplifying it seems good, now people cant complain so much

[sacred iron]

I just don’t care about gear pieces or stats

If I had to grind to get 5 armour pieces of a high enough level to take on the next base I’d just not bother and stop playing

[rapid summit]

I wish arrowhead would make a mech suit in helldivers 2 that shoots lasers and it’s unlimited ammo too, because lasers don’t ran out of ammo

[barren apex]

Who plays escape from tarkov or wants to try it out

[high haven]

Skip lasers, chainsaws more reliable

[onyx nest]

if I may

unlimited ammo is meh, even if it's a laser. that thing has to have batteries.

and that's an immersion killer for me, unlimited anything

makes me think of Ace Combat and those damn planes carring around 180 missiles

"oh, they just reappear on my wings? cool"

[empty ivy]

You can make the lasers powered off the reactor.

oof. I kinda took umbrage with this. but then I realized I was just mad at myself.

worked on titanfall 2 and all 3 of the modern warfare remakes

real, so many games i bought because they were cheap only to never play

[onyx nest]

I dunno what's worse though. The ones I never played or the ones I played for 11 minutes .

the appropriately named piss filter that makes it look like the whole game was waterboarded with piss before shipping

Smh my head

Removing the piss filter is bad

I downloaded Fable on my SteamDeck. The nostalgia 😊

[austere sonnet]

[polar wren]

It’s still fun to play

[charred quail]

I tried to get into it again but the huge list of dlcs put me off, don't have time to grind for all that

[polar wren]

Honestly I said fuck it and put money on it

[next rapids]

same

especially now that they're putting stratagems behind warbonds

[charred quail]

bruh

[polar wren]

Yeah and the items in them is lowered a bit compared to older carbons

Just a bit

[next rapids]

makes sense

i never thought it'd be sustainable

so much content so often

and in a sense it kind of backfires in the end, because if people want to get into the game they'll have years worth of grinding to do, instead of just catching up to the current battlepass or whatever

[austere sonnet]

Still want my flamer mech

[ivory onyx]

i forgor .. but you can buy the warbond currency in the store too? to effectively skip all the grind?

[charred quail]

yeah

it's not cheap

[next rapids]

yeah ofc

grindy so you pay instead

[ivory onyx]

while their initial low cost of the game is nice.. and the MTX are pretty low, one has to wonder how much bank they are making off people wanting to rejoin and unlock everything fast

[onyx nest]

You can aquire warbonds for free by playing the game

[tribal crypt]

Duh

[ivory onyx]

if you play through a whole warbond you can get the next nearly free?

but you still need to collect some from missions to fully get it iirc

[onyx nest]

Idk

[ivory onyx]

but still while thats nice for people actively playing the game, if you come back and want the cool new hotness (aka the op shit) youre either going to be grinding a while, or just pay (which is what devs want)

[austere sonnet]

Each warbond given like 150 or 200 super credits in total iirc

But the first gives you more

[charred quail]

yeah not enough for the next warbond

[ivory onyx]

didnt they nerf the amount you could find on the map too?

oh they nerfed being able to find them -> reset the game and play the same map again

[charred quail]

they did that first few months of the game

lol

[austere sonnet]

honestly kinda disappointed that there was no passives for some of the other ones

[ivory onyx]

i paid $33 for it.. and got like 90 hrs before i stopped playing last june so decent use of money .. but yeah going back and looking at it again its like holy shit so much stuff missed and do i want to pay $10... or grind a shit load

[austere sonnet]

Like the poison warbond could’ve had a toxin passive also want a chemical mech smh

[ivory onyx]

there was a nurgle warbond?

[next rapids]

yeah that's the one with locked stratagems iirc

i saw them in the upgrade menu and was like oh cool how do i get them and then saw it was through the warbond

4 months ago lmao

[tribal crypt]

oof

[austere sonnet]

nurgle

[charred quail]

wish darktide had this many update even if they are paid dlcs lol

darktide has virtually zero content update

[ivory onyx]

dude probably quit lol

[tribal sinew]

nurgle

i played a nurgle campaign in TWW3 just 2 hours ago

so much fun but damn they are a bunch of disgusting dudes

[charred quail]

it still gets updates, but like hotfixes or really tiny content update like an event to unlock a fucking player profile banner lol

no substantial update - still the same classes since launch

like a handful of new maps

just plain boring

[ivory onyx]

i mean the dude with 271 hrs in hd

[charred quail]

oh him

let me check

nope he's still playing

💀

[next rapids]

damn i love forging swords

the minigames in kcd2 are so fun

[onyx nest]

I wasn't gonna spend any of my tax money on frivolous stuff this year, but every day you're making it harder for me to remain fiscally responsible

[next rapids]

it's so worth it

i'm 30 hours in and have completed one story quest

[ivory onyx]

but Valhalla was slandered... this is my i cant even face

[onyx nest]

that's my dream game. main story lines make me feel like the game could end at any second.

[next rapids]

valhalla was filled with boring fetch quest bloat, this is a rich world filled with fun and interesting things to do at your own pace

and this is all in the starting area, there's a second area which is apparently more than double the size

[onyx nest]

like the freaking cyberpunk campaign before phantom liberty. man. it ended so abruptly and the next thing I knew I was stranded in space. wtf

[ivory onyx]

lotta buzzwords there... i cant be sure anymore

[next rapids]

it's honestly amazing, i could forget there even was a main story if not for the quest marker on the map

[onyx nest]

it's like an MMO with no M or O

just the massive

[next rapids]

i spent my time helping uncover mysteries, find treasure, invent new weapons, blacksmithing, dog training, sword training, bow and arrow training, solving disputes between cultures

so much

[next rapids]

absolutely

i'm terrible at hammering but it's still so fun

[ivory onyx]

still better sword making process than in lotr

https://ol.reddit.com/r/RoadCraft/comments/1irrdrh/roadcraft_demo/ @polar wren well this is a good sign

[charred quail]

[ivory onyx]

earlier when i made the joke asking you if it was one earlier... one happened 30 seconds later

[charred quail]

it's never gonna stop man

these idiots will keep clicking on the link and creating more and more spammers

[ivory onyx]

[ivory onyx]

[ivory onyx]

on my mmo server.. i mail out inventory bags to new players to help them out, and this dude from like almost a year ago that had messaged me, hit me with one of those stemcomunity links like...how are these people fucking losing their discords??

[charred quail]

[ivory onyx]

Enough medieval fantasy

[shut wigeon]

It’s not really

[rose furnace]

I love medieval fantasy but where the t800 knight

"fantasy" today just basically turn something into anthrophobic , alien lookalike , space stuff

Instead of try something that could have happen like what if there Tiger tank instead of horse , what if there Giant air balloon instead of dragon , what if there knight with build in handgun in their armor etc

Its more about making thing weird to make it "fantasy" instead of try something that could happen in reality if there a chances of it happening in reality

"Steampunk medieval fantasy" that would be great

[shut wigeon]

It’s free on gamepsss if it’s good I ain’t complaining lol

[polar wren]

Oh boy another lethal company game called repo

Coming in 8 days

Main selling point is physics

6 player

Looks well made as well.

[shut wigeon]

Looks like a game for the ps2

[gilded forge]

Any word on when subliminal game comes out?

[pliant elk]

playing DayZ deathmatch servers made my BF quickscoping skills extra spicy

[polar wren]

Never

[polar wren]

Potentially could be funny as fuck

[rain jewel]

Oblivion Deluxe Ed. is current 4 Euros rn if yall wanna get it

[twilit stream]

Wait until you find out about indie games

[charred quail]

oh generation zero got its final update

[vestal crystal]

I played through that and the one girl npc you meet at the start was invisible for me so I have no idea if there was any other actual npcs or if they were all invisible

[charred quail]

lol

there are some npcs later on in the game iirc

really a 6/10 gameplay but the atmosphere is really nice

[vestal crystal]

The drone robot was annoying af to kill

Took me like 20 minutes

[indigo gyro]
