Ffs

[fervent rapids]

[next crescent]

BF2042 did a better job

[fervent rapids]

the game should just be cancelled at this point

or re named

[spice field]

whys that got so many dislikes

i havent watched it

[next crescent]

Ye. Shame for the name tom clancy

Its a mix of Cod, The Division and overwatch

[spice field]

oh my god

[next crescent]

Yep.

[spark hornet]

New world's closed beta is up

[onyx nest]

Aren't there games similar to Gran Saga?
I mean:
-It has unique playable characters with unique abilities,personalities and voice acting.

-We can customise the unique playable characters'hairs and body skin

-In the MMORPG,we can choose 3 characters in the team

Call of Duty

[opal cedar]

Cod is so aids

For Honor is also pretty painful to play

[spark oxide]

i enjoyed For Honour, i'm quite good at games that have combo controls

[gray tartan]

Haha, I think my PC has a GPU from like 2013.

[nocturne badge]

Gonna try getting into this game again

[onyx nest]

Anyone ever tried Rouge Company

and is it any good

looks kinda shit

[fleet crystal]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[tawdry gate]

I thought it was kinda shit. Its like apex’s arenas but worse

3v3, buy guns/abilities after every round

[onyx nest]

hm

Im just looking for a free game that is fun

that isnt BR

[rapid summit]

I did have fun playing that game and riding those three giant elemental creature.

[slow vine]

Try valorant maybe.

[onyx nest]

No, not worth the shady AC

[slow vine]

I don't know valorant also shit for me because i am totally ussed to with apex so.

You can go for battlefield maybe.

Not battle royale but fun.

[granite peak]

[tribal sinew]

I think goopy has an addiction

[ebon root]

goopy go to the doctors man

[tribal sinew]

imagine if those 110 hours had been spent doing bicep curls

[spark oxide]

the thing with Rust, is that all of your progress is regularly wiped, those hours are essentially wasted

[ebon root]

wipe is weekly on most servers

[tribal sinew]

wait, really?

[ebon root]

so you play all week just to have to start again

[tribal sinew]

so how do ppl motivate themselves?

to keep playing

[ebon root]

tbh idk

i have like 300 something hours on the game and i cba to play anymore

its just way to repetitive for me, you build a base, farm, kill, raid and then a week later you have to just do it all again

[proper pebble]

Now it will be pregnant with an alien baby

[next crescent]

yep.. weird af

[proper pebble]

Hahahahaaa

Hilarious

The Sims can be so strange sometimes

You should try the storyline of Strangerville

Really fun

Have you found the secret worlds yet?

[next crescent]

[fair remnant]

I'm on a whole nother level I got to sleep a day later than you do

[spark oxide]

i would probably do the same if my PS wasn't in the lounge

[austere sonnet]

Install the ps remote app and play it through it that way

[spark oxide]

have you seen the input lag?

[sudden jetty]

I have played red dead online that way

Tho it was on Xbox

[austere sonnet]

So one can actually play on their phone on the Xbox version

[sudden jetty]

Yes

Wait I’ll send you a screenshot

[austere sonnet]

I need to know more before doing Xbox mobile kamikazes

[spark oxide]

same for PS4

[austere sonnet]

Yeah Ik that

Already done ps4 mobile kamikazes

[spark oxide]

PS Remote Play has some tasty input lag though

[spark oxide]

poggies

[austere sonnet]

True and not to mention quality is eh

had to play it at 360p and 480p

[spark oxide]

true

god forbid i play in 720p

[austere sonnet]

[austere sonnet]

Where’s that at

It’s not the arena right

[onyx nest]

Yes

[nocturne badge]

It's one of the new Auto Shops

I don't exactly understand how an auto-shop costs like 5x the amount of club-houses when club-houses are bigger but whatever

[noble pagoda]

So many updates I have to download now for MSFS, haven't been playing for a minute and didn't realize how much content has dropped.

[austere sonnet]

Ah sounds rather odd

Anything new added in

[nocturne badge]

Three new missions and people can come into your Auto Shop... like it's an auto shop

Players can also get inside and mod their vehicle

[onyx nest]

Is hunt showdown still worth it?

[onyx nest]

yeah sounds pretty unfun, I wonder why people play it

[stiff panther]

Hunt Showdown is great

[onyx nest]

It used to be fun tbf

[stiff panther]

I definitely think it is

[onyx nest]

Sorry . Was talking about the video I posted*. 😅

[onyx nest]

Hm alright, might try it out

looking for a good game to pass the time

[stiff panther]

It's seriously good, although almost infuriating at times

it requires patience (in general) and commitment if you want to learn to play it right

also the aesthetic/lore/world it's set in is fantastic

[onyx nest]

Okay, might try it out and just refund if I don't like it

thanks for the input

[stiff panther]

let me know what you think !

(if you want to of course)

and if you need any advice

[onyx nest]

will do

Wow just opened origin, I don't play it, but the new robot guy looks like general grievous

from apex*

[stiff panther]

for Apex?

oh yeah

I saw his reveal on Twitter

they have a really cool animation style

[onyx nest]

Yeah it would be cool if they put that effort towards TF

but whatever makes the money I suppose

[stiff panther]

let's pray for a Titanfall 3 in the next year or so

and for them to ensure continued playability for the current games*

[onyx nest]

lol

I never even played TF

I just know its better than apex

automatically

because BR is horrible

[stiff panther]

try arenas

[onyx nest]

eh

tbh lately I have really only been playing singleplayer games

BF is the exception because it's a lot more casual

and its one of the rare MP games I enjoy anymore

I lost interest in MP games after the xbox 360 days

in a way, the genre as a whole kinda changed for the worst after that

at least in my opinon

https://www.dexerto.com/gaming/twitch-streamer-permanently-banned-from-new-world-mmo-after-milking-a-cow-1615839/

thats a rip

[stiff panther]

there are far worse / more inappropriate things done on their platform, without scrutiny

[deft sand]

she milked a cow in amazons game, so amazon banned her from their streaming platform

[tribal sinew]

she's streaming right now

and it was the game where she was banned, not the stream, apparently a mistake 🙂

[chilly herald]

guys do you hear about upcoming game "EVERYWHERE"

?

[tribal sinew]

i didnt hear about it everywhere

i didnt hear about it anywhere

With very careful attention to descriptions in BotW is how you further prove its the Downfall timeline.

Ruto, the Zora Princess in Ocarina of Time is said to have attacked Ganondorf in her memorial in Zora's Domain.

Two things about this: The Hyrule we stand on in BotW is the original land of Hyrule that is in the Child and Downfall timeline. In the Adult timeline, the land of Hyrule is forever swept under a vast ocean and New Hyrule exists on a new continent.

Why the Child timeline does not work in this case for Princess Ruto is that she never attacked Ganondorf in the first place. The attack on Ganondorf and him attacking anything other than Impa and Zelda on horseback never occurred in the first place.

The only time Ruto attacks is when Ganon at the end of Ocarina of Time kills Link.

This is where A Link to the Past up to Zelda II: The Adventure of Link occurs. The Downfall timeline.

[solid remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/stumble-shake-shaky-drink-gif-16104354

[onyx nest]

And as the developers stated, it doesn't actually take place after all three timelines, they specifically said it takes place at the end of one of the timelines.

Also, the location of the Master Sword says a hell of a lot as well.

Brothers, I finally figured it out after two God damn years

And ironically, Princess Zelda's entire speech to Link in the first memory works in the Downfall timeline. Though people might initially think she brought up Twilight Princess and The Wind Waker.

Twilight, the word itself is heavily used to describe the Dark World.

Seas, the word in its usage, Oracle of Ages and the Link's Awakening.

"Seas of time"

Destiny has lore?

[merry shadow]

Yes

It has so much lore that you can spend a few days just reading it

[haughty warren]

Most of it is pretty straightforward but there are some really whacky stuff

[weak hornet]

I'd touch Destiny if Halo didn't exist

[spiral elk]

I don't know halo that much but destiny has some fire lore.

[spiral void]

Both are pretty good for Lore

But Halo feels a lot more serious somehow

That's why Activision not fix Warzone bug because of this:
https://kotaku.com/activision-blizzard-sued-by-california-over-widespread-1847339746

[tribal crypt]

not the same studios btw

[olive patrol]

If we're being real cod studios probably do the same shit

Also who is surprised by wow players hating women

Fucking hate GTA online

[elfin lark]

No better price than free

[wet pilot]

hell no

even if I get it for free in the epic store i'll be paying them with my dignity

and i'll be also supporting terrible business practices

[weak hornet]

the fuck

By that logic, me walking into Wal-Mart gives the company money

[wet pilot]

its not the same thing

[weak hornet]

You're literally not paying for anything getting it

But you are showing the indie developers your support for the game

Uh hu

[ebon root]

congrats

hey goopy next wipe (next thursday) do u want to play on a duo only server ?

just sweat the fuck out of it

[deft sand]

you could make it a trio and invite me

[ebon root]

if you want to join u can yeah

tarkov great game

[deft sand]

id be down to join

you play on officials?

i bought tarkov and just couldnt commit

learning curve is just wayyyy to much

[ebon root]

there is a big learning curve

you just gotta keep going

[deft sand]

it would probably be better for me if i had someone to play with

teach me the ways

[ebon root]

its alot easier with someone to play it with

i also prefer playing with a team

solo is more hard because if you dont have the best of gear and you come up against a 4 man for instance.....your dead lol

[deft sand]

i got into tarkov, took a pistol in and killed 3 guys

didnt know what to do or where to go after that

[ebon root]

do you have tarkov installed ?

[deft sand]

nah not rn

[ebon root]

im down to play it if you want to download it and i can help you out

[deft sand]

i dont know if i can commit my soul like that right now

[ebon root]

lol

fair enough

[ebon root]

mainly just quest, loot, kill and extract

[deft sand]

yeah

[ebon root]

and have fun but in tarkov thats hard sometimes lol

[deft sand]

let me figure out what the hell my account info is and ill gather the willpower to play

[ebon root]

wipe was like 3 weeks ago also so if you do decide to play your not that far behind people

[deft sand]

oh nice

[ebon root]

when i got the game it was coming to the end of the wipe and i had pretty bad gear compared to everyone else who was running tier 6 armour and HK's all day

[deft sand]

ah

i have no idea when i played

all i know is i murdered

i had like a 22. rifle for a bit

[ebon root]

when was it you played ? was it months ago im guessing ?

[deft sand]

and a val

i think its was a little over a year

[ebon root]

yeah you might of joined mid wipe then

[deft sand]

hacker voice. im in

[ebon root]

i got the game this year in march i think and i joined near the end of wipe

[deft sand]

alright startin the download

my soul is ready

[ebon root]

its 3am for me rn so im about to go to sleep soon but i will play when i wake up

[deft sand]

yeah just ping me whenever you wanna play

i dont sleep

[ebon root]

lmao

we can hopefully get some tasks done straight away also hopefully

most of the starting tasks everyone has done by now so it should be easy for you to do

[deft sand]

i didnt even know there were tasks

[ebon root]

lol

most dealers give you tasks throughout the game and you can earn weapons/gear, money, XP, and reputation from doing them

[deft sand]

dealers

interesting

I want to play Anthem... I have it.. but haven't played it yet.

Not sure how I should feel about that.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IQ3YQz7WfA next monday some more info about horizon 5

I’m so excited for Call Of Duty: Vanguard & Halo multiplayer, this year gonna be wild for gaming, also the games I haven’t bought last year

[stiff panther]

I hope Vanguard is good, but the leaks aren't saying it will be.

(Leaks from reliable sources) :(

Halo is looking great though

[late cove]

Is Boundary coming out for PS5?

[stiff panther]

I would think it is, if it's being released now it should be set for PS5 (and XSX) soon / after launch

[late cove]

Boundary gta 6 and bf2042 are the only games I look forward to on next gen. But I heard boundary will be a ps exclusive.

[elfin lark]

Ah man boundary is that space fps right?

[cyan cipher]

oh man boundary looks cool

[cyan cipher]

I don't know why anyone is excited for Vanguard. It's the second COD game set in WWII in the span of 4 years, it's being made by sledgehammer (arguably the worst dev team working on COD), and it's going up against Infinite and 2042.

probably the only good that will come of it will be the warzone integration.

[spice peak]

How can one support cod after everything with activision as well I feel morally wrong to even touch cod now

[spark oxide]

i don't think that it's wrong to use their product, i just won't support the team behind it until they make amends

[tribal crypt]

Keep in mind it was the blizzard team doing shit

Not the call of duty studios

[olive patrol]

Sure but spending money on cod does go back to acti-blizzard not just the cod devs

[amber crown]

Why did they leave steam?

Wasn’t cod good on steam

[spiral void]

Makes them more money off steam

[tribal crypt]

Theyre avoiding the platform tax on steam

its like they dont want xbox players to try out their games

oh yeah black ops 1 is 25 pounds

[onyx nest]

Activision always don’t let their games cheap. I don’t know why

[onyx nest]

I’m excited for Vanguard because it’s going to be on Modern Warfare 2019 engine, it’s rumor to be like Wolfstein kind WW2 because it’s a different reality of WW2. Sledgehammer Games might not be great, but people now loving Call Of Duty: WW2 that came out in 2017. It’s your opinion that you don’t like it, but doesn’t make it facts brother

[onyx nest]

I don’t care what the leaks say. It’s all an subjective opinion

[spark oxide]

poggies

i do it sometimes, usually when in a town

[onyx nest]

@dark panther CoD or its Battle Pass?

[dark panther]

battlepass

[onyx nest]

Why do you think so?

[dark panther]

the battlepass xp was given based off time played

not your performance

[onyx nest]

Actually, according to some player research, XP does play a role in CoD's BP, but it's not a heavy weight in the overall progress.

[dark panther]

i like fortnites older system where you ranked up the battle pass with each level

[onyx nest]

Regardless, time-based progression is still much better than PUBG's "destroy an enemy's helmet without actually killing them X times" or similar quests.

I havn't tried Fortnite's system, so I cannot comment on that.

But as far as I know, it requires you to do some arbitrary tasks as well?

[dark panther]

no

theres challenges that get you extra xp

but if you just play and do well you can unlock stuff fairly quickly

[onyx nest]

Are the challenges anything very specific or just stuff you'd do during regular gameplay anyways?

[dark panther]

some were fetch quests some were just stuff that happens normally

and theres like 20 to do at any given time so you have lots of options on how to earn extra xp

[onyx nest]

Oh, so kind of like CoD CW's daily quests. I see.

Sounds like an ok system to me.

[dark panther]

yes but way better bc your xp goes towards your battlepass tier

[onyx nest]

You mean it is directly xp based?

[dark panther]

yes

[onyx nest]

I see.

[dark panther]

also theres double xp really often

so its pretty good

they changed it recently though and it kinda sucks now

[onyx nest]

The only "issue" I might see with basing it purely on XP in CoD is this: How would one separate level progression from bp level progression?

[dark panther]

now you just earn like tokens to unlock stuff like the mcc battlepass

[onyx nest]

Fortnite only has one level, right?

[dark panther]

thats the thing with fortnite, it wasnt

your level was your bp level

it reset every season

[onyx nest]

That's what I meant. However, in CoD you have a seasonal level that is related to prestiging and stuff and a separate BP level.

So you say that they should merge the two, correct?

[dark panther]

i think so yeah

[onyx nest]

I can agree with that. It does feel arbitrary in CoD to have two separate leveling tracks, especially if both reset seasonally anyways.

[stiff panther]

CoDs ranks keep going now

they don't reset

[onyx nest]

They do every season.

You keep your prestige level/icon but not your level.

[dark panther]

i think if they did 100 levels per battlepass like they have now, then did 100 levels per prestige

you start a new battlepass with each prestige

you get the new bp when you complete the current one

then no one misses out and you have a prestige system

[onyx nest]

That would be awesome, basically prestige system what so many people wanted back combined with the rewards of BP. How would the monetization work though? It would not be time limited I assume, but would you be able to buy the BPs in any order if you are late to the party?

[dark panther]

yeah like they have now with free rewards and paid rewards

if you complete one without buying, you can go back and pay for it

to get the paid rewards

[onyx nest]

Yes, this actually sounds really good. The big question though is how much the fact that it is not time-limited would affect profits. I have a feeling that it would have a big impact on them, otherwise the time limit would not be a thing.

[dark panther]

maybe have it reset with each new cod game release?

but idk i dont think removing the time limit would affect profits

if anything itd make the profits go up

[onyx nest]

So you'd have like a year to do it, still getting people to get the newest game while new.

[dark panther]

yes

[onyx nest]

I'd like to believe this, but unfortunately this is most likely not true due to FOMO. Whoever invented the BP system's current iteration definitely did market and psychological research.

[dark panther]

then ig the 1 year limit would work

still better than what we have now

[onyx nest]

The one year limit absolutely sounds like a workable compromise for a game that has a yearly release, yes.

It would essentially work like some MMO expansions where the expansion is relevant as long as the new one does not come out.

[dark panther]

sadly none of this is gonna happen, since its too pro consumer for activision

[onyx nest]

Well, maybe it won't be Activision who'll pursue a more fair monetization system, but someone else could.

[dark panther]

as of rn it looks like thatll be 343i and xbox

[onyx nest]

Interesting. Thanks for the discussion! 🙂

[dark panther]

hopefully someone at ea sees this convo and takes some notes lol

[onyx nest]

Well, I am definitely taking notes as someone who aspires to be a game dev. 😄

@onyx nest Are you sure it was because of us being kids and not because games are just less magical nowadays in general?

[dark panther]

hopefully that works out for you, i wish you luck on your aspirations

[onyx nest]

Eh to be brutally honest I think most of it really does come down to us not being kids anymore

It’s easy to trash on modern games but if we had them back then it would’ve blown our minds lol

[onyx nest]

Thanks a lot, haha! I am hoping that I can restore some kind of mutual dev-player... respect? Not sure what the right word here would be. But my main driving force is to create something cool that people would enjoy and have fun with.

@onyx nest I agree that that is likely part of the thing, but I don't think it is the whole picture.

But I’m not even gonna start on the ways that big publishers take advantage of kids with predatory tactics and underlying tactics to get them addicted or build the sense of FOMO etc.

Yes, that would be a discussion for another day. However, I'd like to talk a bit more about the "magic" thing.

Yeah yeah I get you, it’s important to note but it’s a whole other topic

[fervent rapids]

idk why and how but valve turned me into a csgo skin junkie

they look so cool

and are cheap

[onyx nest]

I have friends who made a killing off cs skins and pubg lol

I think that one thing that has taken away from the magic is that nowadays the game design of games seems to be way too on point. What I mean is: It often feels like there are no longer just random abilities or functionalities that don't really serve a purpose and are just there because they are cool or fun.

I don’t know how true it is but games going back to maybe the 360 ps3 days, certainly on ps2, you could tell when something was built with passion

Yes, yes, that is big one.

A lot of games nowadays are built AROUND profits.

Not about doing something awesome.

A ton of Easter eggs, some awesome skyline in the background with more detail than it really needed. It’s weird because like, take ratchet and clank games, the new one is incredibly impressive visually, and must’ve taken a crazy amount of man hours, but I can appreciate the ps2 games so much more

In the case of R&C, I have seen multiple people saying they should get the old composer back. I heard the OST is kinda generic Hollywood-y epic music now?

And the truth is those old ones probably had only a couple guys working on the art for environments, insanely limited by what they could produce, but idk it just looked great

[onyx nest]

Yes, getting something really good out of limited hardware is a skill and art in itself.

Oh yeah well R&C is like my go to nostalgia game, I’ve listened to the soundtrack of the originals too many times and when I watched the opening for the new one the whole presentation and music felt really… it’s not generic but it didn’t feel uniquely R&C

I am just saying that I am never going to forget playing through the Orxon planet as a kid. 😄

I am to this day amazed by the music that plays in that level, how well it captures the feel of the place.

It’s weird, I know that when you go back technically speaking those games are really rather simple and full of hacky code to even get stuff running, where the newer ones are huge, sprawling, mechanically incredible. But even though it’s on a whole other level it doesn’t do justice to the originals for me

And I’m not smart enough to be able to really figure out how to explain why

A lot of people feel like the original trilogy is just something else. I havn't played the new games, but the originals are just really really good games.

Even now orxon is tough as nails with the o2 mask

[onyx nest]

Actually, it is very difficult to find the "magic". It is somewhat of a quest of mine to be able to figure out what the "magic" of X game is/was. I mean, if I could do that it would be helpful when designing my own game in the future.

There’s a really good series of videos on YouTube about the games

Though they don’t exactly share the sentiment I had playing as a kid

It’s kind of eye opening how the third game nearly flopped

And after seeing this guy dissect it it doesn’t really hold up to the others even though as a kid I thought it was turning everything to 11

To be honest, I don't remember much from the second and third games, I mostly remember the first one. Even though it was not the only one I beat multiple times. I definitely went through the second one multiple times as well, but can't really remember anything other than the fact that you could buy weapons from the previous game on some desert planet and the final level with the huge building in the darkness.

In comparison, I remember a lot of places and levels from the first game.

For whatever reason I had the second game originally and played the ever loving shit out of it

In fact I might’ve not finished the first game until after I beat the third

[onyx nest]

The weapons could be upgraded so much in that one. I think it took multiple playthroughs to max out the weapons.

The original is definitely a hell of a lot harder without strafing and your go to weapons being the more basic full auto pistol (can’t use while moving right?) bomb glove and the rocket launcher

Wait no you can fire while moving I think

But something about it was way more awkward to aim with

Idk lol

I think one of the things was that back in the day even "kids games" were not afraid to challenge the player at least a bit. (Come on, Orxon was a nightmare when I was a kid. It was difficult, but it was also unsettling, mostly thanks to the soundtrack.)

Actually, this makes me wonder how often old game OSTs included ambience in the music itself.

I replayed the first last year through totally legitimate means and it was still really challenging

[restive prawn]

everyone's driving that super fast calico gtf in gta online races

[onyx nest]

But also as a kid I somehow missed that you could buy more health

Gaming trends have changed a lot throughout the years. As someone interested in game design, one thing I don't like is the "everyone has to see all content" design in modern MMOs. It usually results in the entire open world being without any real dangers and instanced content having difficulty levels.

Now, I entirely understand that it is cool to be able to see everything the game offers, but in my opinion it takes away from the immersion. I liked it when MMOs felt like an actual world you were playing in. Yes, the dragon's lair was a super dangerous place and it was an experience in itself to get even just halfway through the cave/dungeon.

[hardy spear]

based

Honestly theyre out of ideas to create something new and original

Its just copy and paste now

Look at assassin's creed for instant

[onyx nest]

Well I’d say a lot of games these days, it’s a bit like YouTube, they want player retention. Back in the old days you bought a game and that was it, you were a customer with a full product, go and enjoy it and spread the word that you enjoyed it. The linear single player games would be packed with content and mostly free of bugs because once it went gold that’s the final product. Now if they even make a single player game it has to have content held back to be added later etc etc

[hardy spear]

Used to be a great franchise

Now its just a rip off witcher with a broken rpg system which makes 0 sense

[onyx nest]

Honestly, creating something new and original wouldn't even be necessary. Improving on stuff would be enough. However, improvements nowadays are mostly graphics-focused, not gameplay focused.

[hardy spear]

true

Cyberpunk for example

Looks amazing

Game itself is very lifeless

Once you finish the story the game is done there is no reason for you to go back and play the repetitive side missions

[onyx nest]

Hm... in the case of MMOs, the current trend seems to be "make it easy but timegate it to make sure people don't finish the game too early".

Anyways, I always thought it was cool when some parts of the world were simply less dangerous while others were very dangerous, essentially making the difficulty system an organic part of the game.

[hardy spear]

Games are all about wasting your time now

Like every mulitplayer game that came out recently

[onyx nest]

Cyberpunk is a lot like no mans sky, a victim of its own success. They promised bigger and bigger things until the requirements got totally out of hand, and got backing from massive names who ended up forcing stuff that the game couldn’t realistically achieve, and of course having to be released far far too early

[hardy spear]

Have you noticed how slow the progression is?

Its like they want you to spend hours grinding

cyberpunk just had solid marketing

[onyx nest]

They were also forced to release it cause of deadlines and investors wanting their money. Honestly, it sucks, but some people went too far with the... um... "criticism".

As for NMS, yes, that game is amazing nowadays.

[hardy spear]

paid off so many youtubers and streamers for good reviews

tricking the average consumer in the process

8 million pre orders lmao

[onyx nest]

I mean, grinding used to be a thing in MMOs since... always? But yes, almost every MP game wants to use MMO-like RPG mechanics now.

Leveling, weekly/daily quests, etc

[onyx nest]

My experience with MMOs is basically all RuneScape lol. Another game where if you looked deep there really wasn’t a whole lot to it, but god did it absolutely draw me in as a kid. I’ve played the old school version more recently and achieved stuff in 2 days that it took me 2 years to do before

[hardy spear]

Shit grinding is fine if you dont have a job or school

If you work majority the week i rather have a game I can just hop on and have fun

for a few hours

reasons why i started playing competitive arena shooters now

quick simple fun and its not time consuming

[onyx nest]

The grinding aspect definitely sucks, but unfortunately you just gotta accept you’re not the target audience anymore

[onyx nest]

I tried that game a long time ago but never really got into it. Nowadays it is the monetization scheme that keeps me away. Feels like... there is just too much cash shop stuff, at least in the modern version.

I remember spending far too much time at the tv after school as a kid

[hardy spear]

Same

Grinding bf3 noshiar canal tdm on my fat screen tv lmao

[onyx nest]

I think grinding is fine in games as long as you grind when you want.

[hardy spear]

the most recent assasins creed game

probably the most time consuming game theyve released

half of the side content is pointless

[onyx nest]

The modern one I wouldn’t touch with a 10 foot pole, I think that the monetisation isn’t strictly as bad as it looks but I’m still not remotely interested, and it’s just not the game I grew up with that had that silly charm of basically single pixels for eyes. Technically far more impressive, but just not for me anymore

[hardy spear]

and micro transactions in a single player game

why

[onyx nest]

Ok sure, but you can play it whenever, it does not go anywhere, right? What sucks is when someone playing 10 minutes daily gets them many times the rewards than someone playing 2 hours at sunday.

[onyx nest]

I know.

https://tenor.com/view/money-mr-krabs-gif-18326632

[hardy spear]

ik but like why are people buying them

before we would just pay for a dlc or something

now its legit reskinned cosmetics being sold for $20+

[onyx nest]

I mean, I don't see anything wrong with buying it if it gives you enjoyment. The problem is when there are no alternatives. Let me give an example:

I don’t know which is more correct, that they’re greedy putting these mtx options in assassins creed or wherever, or that it’s actually necessary because of the cost of games these days. Genuinely I have no idea, like you didn’t have to worry about running a bunch of servers back in the ps2 days

[hardy spear]

oh yeah i forgot

[onyx nest]

If the game has 100 cosmetics and there is a cash shop that adds 5 more for a cost, that shouldn't be a big problem.

[hardy spear]

games are much more expensive to produce now

[onyx nest]

But if the game only has a defauly outfit and 100 cosmetics in the shop...

that is a problem in a single player game

[hardy spear]

ubisoft is done for honestly

this year they have nothing good coming out

siege is dying out slowly too

[onyx nest]

I mean, is that not true? Hundreds of people in teams and those guys earn quite a bit I think.

But yes, I don't agree with Ubisoft's practices.

[hardy spear]

most of their fanbase wants a good splinter cell game

[onyx nest]

Single player games should not contain MTX.

[hardy spear]

but ubisoft just said fuck you and gave us a free to play generic fps

[onyx nest]

DLCs and expansions are okay.

[onyx nest]

Ok, I still want to get the PoP 2008 cliffhanger resolved. 🙂

[onyx nest]

It’s a bit like with how dlc has worked in the past. If it’s a really good value for money expansion that brings you back to the game then it seems awesome. If you learn they essentially had to scrap content and leave you with a barebones game to sell it to you afterwards then it seems very shitty. I’ve just remembered how big ‘Day 1 DLC’ fiascos were

[autumn finch]

FarCry2 best FarCry2 :change my mind

[hardy spear]

theyre milking tom clancys name

[hardy spear]

fc2 was solid

[autumn finch]

Yeap

[hardy spear]

actually forced you to play smart

[onyx nest]

It was such a boring game. The constantly respawning outpost enemies and enemies constantly appearing out of nowhere behind you in armed cars was dumb too IMO.

[hardy spear]

You die so easily in fc2

[autumn finch]

That's the point tho

[hardy spear]

plus fc2's physics

[autumn finch]

It's not meant to be easy

[hardy spear]

top tier

idk how they downgraded from fc2 to fc5 so badly

[onyx nest]

Depends on difficulty setting, or? I played on the hardest difficulty but never finished the game cause it felt a bit tedious.

[autumn finch]

It's the most realistic fc imo

They should remaster

[onyx nest]

As long as you play on normal I guess.

That XDefiant game they’re making just looks… ugh it just ‘looks’ so bland and designed by a board room ticking boxes. They talked about making this great gunplay in the reveal and it just looks like a very simple mobile fps to me gunplay wise

On "brutal" sniper shots to naked people don't kill them.

[hardy spear]

I just liked burning random stuff with flamethrowers in fc2

those fire physics were on point

[autumn finch]

And the flame went with the wind, which for 2008 was high tech

[hardy spear]

and the ai wasnt braindead either

[autumn finch]

Nope

[onyx nest]

Never played fc2 but I remember the videos of the fire spreading and it looked amazing

[onyx nest]

I am sure that not everyone does that. I think most DLCs are still legit content that was made later. Obviously when it is already on the disc and you just unlock it that feels shitty.

[onyx nest]

I do remember this. It was cool.

[hardy spear]

sadly fc3 was the last good far cry game we got

[onyx nest]

I think going back 2 generations it happened a lot honestly (but I obviously can’t really prove that without scanning the internet for hours which I’m not prepared to do haha)

[hardy spear]

i didnt like fc4 that much

and idk who even played far cry primal

[onyx nest]

Well, I mostly don't play Western RPGs, so I wouldn't know. I am more of a JRPG guy.

[autumn finch]

https://youtu.be/mebA1iXuZEY

[onyx nest]

No way it looks this good just upscaled.

[hardy spear]

oh i just remembered

[onyx nest]

The hell?

[hardy spear]

your guns would break or jam

in fc2

so you had to be careful

[autumn finch]

Yea

I had my guns explode once

[hardy spear]

and the healing animations

so good

[onyx nest]

Yes, this was a realistic aspect.

[onyx nest]

Was definitely a game that had a lot of thought put into it, trying to push a genre forwards

Instead of rehashing and just making everything ‘bigger’

[autumn finch]

And when the rpg buggered up it would really bugger up

[hardy spear]

fr you know for sure they were passionate about fc2

[onyx nest]

True, but did FC2 have any wild animals? I felt the world was too empty. The intro had some zebras but never found them in the open world.

[autumn finch]

And gazeles l

I managed to kill myself once with the rpg when it malfunctioned

[hardy spear]

anyways rockstar games never disappoints

with single player games*

[onyx nest]

This CAN be a good thing and I feel that certain genres need this. But obviously it is not a catch-all solution to everything.

[hardy spear]

the online mode for their games is a whole different story

[onyx nest]

Yeah, like when that random guy fixed their loading times LOL

[hardy spear]

remember being mind blown by red dead 1

it was such a good game

[onyx nest]

I remember a game called GUN.

[hardy spear]

gun?

[onyx nest]

Yes, it was kind of like GTA, but in the wild west.

This

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2610/GUN/

[hardy spear]

damn 2005

i was like 4 years old

[onyx nest]

Hahah, yeah, I don't think many people know that game. Same with Boiling Point: Road to Hell

That one was kind of like Far Cry, but had a lot more RPG mechanics.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_Point:_Road_to_Hell

Unfortunately still not on Steam

Heck, can't find a digital version anywhere.

The second game is on Steam though.

[hardy spear]

atleast you got to enjoy older games when game devs actually cared

even though bf 2042 is looking solid so far

still not going to pre order until i see some unscripted gameplay

[onyx nest]

Hey, I think a lot of game devs still do care. BF 2042 looks really solid, yes. And the FF14 dev team is awesome too.

[hardy spear]

these people have their hopes up way too high

half of them are gonna be disappointed

[onyx nest]

Well

The game is gonna have visual scripting

So I'd say the hype is justified

[hardy spear]

im hyped too

[onyx nest]

I don't think I have seen that in an AAA game before.

[hardy spear]

but i know that i have to keep my expectations low

got finessed last year cause of cyberpunk

[onyx nest]

Well, my expectation is 128 players, big maps, some game modes and visual scripting.

I am sure all of those will be in the game.

[hardy spear]

Yeah

I just want 128 player breakthrough

portal is cool as well

[onyx nest]

I want some kind of frontlines mode.

[hardy spear]

but people are compared portal to halo forge

[onyx nest]

Where it both parties need to attack AND defend.

[hardy spear]

I dont think portal is going to have custom player made maps like halo though

[onyx nest]

They did say it is not going to AFAIK.

[pure shell]

Hey any BF4 veteran here?

[onyx nest]

Not me.

[pure shell]

Damn it

[hardy spear]

me

[pure shell]

Oh good

[hardy spear]

played it on ps3,ps4 and now pc

[onyx nest]

But why not #battlefield-legacy-titles ?

[pure shell]

no one is answering there

[onyx nest]

This is 💬 For any game discussion not related to Battlefield!

Oh

[pure shell]

I just want to know how do you pick vehicles fast i saw some youtubers doing it

[hardy spear]

#battlefield-legacy-titles is usually dead

spam click on the vehicle icon

thats what i do

once it spawns you get a spot right away

[pure shell]

ah thanks

[onyx nest]

Honestly, this Discord server has issues with keeping the channels on topic. #battlefield-2042 is just a moshpit of everything nowadays.

[hardy spear]

fr

just all kinds of random topics

pc parts, consoles, vaccines

random shit

[onyx nest]

Yes, I know.

So anyways, this is really off-topic, not even game related, but:

[hardy spear]

i doubt the mods mind

[onyx nest]

Most places don't allow advertising, so how would one go about making people know about their new gaming community?

[hardy spear]

not sure

i would say reddit but i havent used that in years

[onyx nest]

I have recently and also stopped.

People just mass downvote everything they don't agree with.

There is no point.

Feels like a massive echo chamber.

You could post something that you put effort into and barely get attention.

But the 100th post swearing about their new video palyer gets hundreds or thousands of upvotes AND awards.

[hardy spear]

Majority of them people dont even care

about what theyre reading on reddit

also check this game out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nil86RfgEFE

its halo/portal combined into one

[onyx nest]

Yeah, I have decided to avoid Reddit and Twitter for now.

[hardy spear]

i just keep twitter for news

i dont post anything on it though

[onyx nest]

Also the graphics remind me of Planetside 2.

[hardy spear]

its a fun game

a bit sweaty but fun

[onyx nest]

Maybe shouldn't have used the same colors for portals as the Portal games though.

The orange one could have been red at least.

nvm, there are multiple colors

[hardy spear]

splitgate is a genius idea though

[dark panther]

i wouldnt compare splitgate to halo

its more quake/unreal tournament than halo

[hardy spear]

take stuff from other games and combine it into one

[hardy spear]

the guns feel like halo though

[onyx nest]

Man, then you would really like that game I saw some days ago.

let me find it

[hardy spear]

idk maybe ive been playing too much halo on mouse and keyboard

halo is really a game made for controllers

i hope halo infinite makes it even for both controller and mnk

that bullet magnetism controllers player have is broken

they dont even need to be precise with their shots

halo4 was the only game that felt balanced for mouse and keyboard and controllers

[onyx nest]

I found it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcr9NEIAiGY

Spaceflux

[hardy spear]

looks fun

but idk how i feel about building your own stuff ingame

fortnite made me hate games like that

[onyx nest]

IDK how it works. Maybe there are custom settings for servers.

But the building here makes sense cause it is fully destructible.

[fervent rapids]

https://youtu.be/YMm20JR4PdI

[solid remnant]

i shall check out the hype about this game

looks interesting

maby i wont

guess thats what happens when a player count on average goes from like 6k to 60k

[hardy spear]

solid fucking game @solid remnant

but controller players are screwed on that game

you need to hit level 15 to play ranked then i can finally play in mouse and keyboard only lobbies

shits not fun destroying controller dudes

https://twitter.com/Splitgate/status/1419738395031474182?s=20

[noble pagoda]

That game is horrible.

[hardy spear]

🧢

Just get better

[noble pagoda]

Don't think it can. In fact, pretty sure it cannot.

[hardy spear]

What made you hate the game so much

I actually want to know @noble pagoda

The game itself is kinda unique to me only game where I never have to stand still

If I want I can run around the map for the whole game

[tawdry gate]

Is it on ps4?

[hardy spear]

Yeah

[tawdry gate]

Nice, I might try it if it goes crossplay

[hybrid bay]

Already has it

Ive been playing with ps4 peeps

Lol closest they can get to halo and its fun.

[elfin lark]

Man generation zero does a real good job at making you feel lonely

[noble pagoda]

No hate. I don't tend to hate things--just an observation that I think as an arena shooter it doesn't play for me. Didn't find it challenging in a good way, things were a bit too loose/gameplay wasn't really focused, the portal pops were annoying, weapons were jank, and just some general glitchiness, but admittedly I played it 'early-on' after watching Summit1G give it a try. I felt like half the time I was just chasing someone around the map instead of getting consistent engagement and that just gets old. Seemed overly repetitive, much like HALO for me, so if someone likes HALO, they might like that. I just don't see much hope of it improving--they'd have to certainly overhaul and add some different modes for more flavor at minimum. The other thing is I think they've just come to the market too late in a industry saturated with these kinds of games. It was unique as a take, but overall not for me.

Reading the latest reviews, it seems a lot of the same things that afflicted it early still exist. That's odd considering how long this game has been available. This bump in userbase I am assuming is from a Steam free-play or sale event? I mean their traffic like quadrupled in July. Sounds like it broke supporting servers and/or matching as well.

Graphics do look better though. They re-skin this?

[onyx nest]

All these "streamer games" blow up and then die super quick

same thing happened to Rouge Company

[ocean sluice]

The game isn't even in beta,they are going closed alpha in 5 August lmao

[onyx nest]

Still looks terrible, some 60 year old balding board room directors got together, saw an e girl playing siege, and then thought "HUH THIS MUST BE OUR TARGET AUDIENCE, MAKE AN ENTIRE GAME ON THAT USING 2015 ASSETS"

I mean it looks terrible, but at least it's free

unlike outbreak or whatever that other siege clone is

[hardy spear]

Bump in userbase is from the addition of crossplay

And I agree with the game not being challenging

Pretty sure they put you up against bots and lower skilled players until you hit level 15

Then it’ll start feeling like an actual competitive arena shooter

[hardy spear]

Rip ubisoft

All their games are ass this year

[onyx nest]

Their games have been ass since like 2010

[hardy spear]

Lowkey I was expecting a better version of siege

But nah they just re skinned the game and trying to get people to buy a alien game for like 60$

They didn’t even update the graphics or movement

Same shit from 2015

[onyx nest]

lol exactly

its like the most minimal effort possible

its kinda sad

if they were really that lazy they could have just reskinned R6 and modernized it

but no

I guess they gotta milk everything

[hardy spear]

Should have just given us a new splinter cell game

Legit milking tom Clancy’s name

[onyx nest]

Yes they should have

[onyx nest]

XD probably would have been received better if it didn't have his name attached

lol

It's about time Splinter Cell made a comeback

[hardy spear]

Like xdefiant is a big fuck you to tom clancy fans

[onyx nest]

Yeah

Xdefiant's reveal pissed me off

[hardy spear]

I thought everyone moved on from those generic free to play games we used to see on steam

But not Ubisoft apparently

And assassins creed what even is odyssey and vallaha

[onyx nest]

Assassin's creed lost its identity

I miss games like Assassin's creed IV black flag

[hardy spear]

After Desmond miles death

It lost its identity

[onyx nest]

Yeah true

[hardy spear]

I’m pretty sure they ran out of ideas after ac3

[onyx nest]

AC4 was the last great AC

[hardy spear]

Unity

After it was fixed

[onyx nest]

Yeah true

[hardy spear]

Massive crowds

The game looks really good as well

Parkour system was so smooth

[onyx nest]

Yeah it had great parkour

[hardy spear]

And combat was satisfying

Arno was very agile

[onyx nest]

Yes

What did you think of Splinter Cell Conviction?

[onyx nest]

shame the PC port is a mess, just like every other mid 2010's ubi game

[hardy spear]

Didn’t play that one

Think I played blacklist

[hardy spear]

Really is

Even now they’re terribly optimized

[onyx nest]

Man playing on 150+ ping RS2 servers is sure an expierence

I love literally not being able to hit fuck all

Im a god with the m16 though

hittin those 100+ meter shots

this game is so fun though

its like BF Vietnam but good

[ebon root]

anyone know if fall guys is still active ?

[hardy spear]

Try sniping in rs2

Most fun you’ll have

[onyx nest]

eh rifleman is the best class

[hardy spear]

Snipers one tap

[onyx nest]

[hardy spear]

I remember playing that game a lot when my ssd stopped working

Only game i had installed on my hdd

[onyx nest]

lol

I play on ultra low settings and stil cant crack over 150 fps

UE3 type shit

[quiet sail]

https://youtu.be/wGEP5wY3cEc

Fucking love Foxhole for this type of shit

[hardy spear]

Ay lets go fucking go

Someone else here plays foxhole as well

Best game to play drunk

Majority of the gameplay is just you talking to your teammates over the mic

[noble pagoda]

Odyssey is Ghost Recon: Wildlands reskinned with swords and forced soloing.

[gray tartan]

You didn't like the RPG aspect?

I thought it was fun.

[noble pagoda]

I didn't like that they took a two year old format of gameplay and re-skinned it. We'd already grown tired of GRW by that point, which was the whole reason for the shift with Breakpoint.

Both were overly redundant task games, but ACO moreso than the former.

[quiet sail]

I'm a logistics guy myself

But basically yeah

[gray tartan]

I never really played wildlands or breakpoint

=[ so I guess I got nothing to compare it to lol

[quiet sail]

Love transporting shit tons of basic materials and vehicles via barge or cargo ships

[quiet sail]

Most fun I've had is farming 25k bmats per hour and transporting it to multiple fronts

The game is its own logistics simulator

[hardy spear]

Logi playstyle is respectable

we need people like you

I just like the chaos of the frontlines

I only do logi if im with a group of friends then it doesnt get boring @quiet sail

[hardy spear]

It just felt like they were trying to rip off witcher 3

If they made something original and it was an rpg

would have been a decent game

[quiet sail]

If I go to the frontline, I am either running dropped guns and ammo back to base and collecting dropped medical stuff and giving it to medics.

One thing I love is being barraged by a salvo of artillery. The sounds are so good

I will also use a bicycle to run ammo to the front and distribute it between people that need it

[hardy spear]

same im usually scavenging or doing medic stuff

[amber crown]

What’s the best AC to buy

Graphics doesn’t matter much if the story +game play are good

[shut agate]

I really loved AC Origins

Definitely recommend it to you

[hardy spear]

story and dlcs were solid

but the side missions

jeez

i kinda hated doing them even though we were forced to

[shut agate]

Yeah I agree

Dlcs definitely solid tho

[limpid jetty]

@solid remnant stop playing rust fucker
