battlefield-2042

[junior pike]

🥲

ok

[arctic grove]

You get to play for 10 hours

[radiant echo]

BF1 won't be on portal cuz it's not old and no one misses it If you miss it go play it lol

[wary crown]

You get a 10 hour trial on the 11th November if you have game pass ultimate. So it’s good to try it out

[slim quiver]

Yeah we might not know that until after launch

[lost sky]

oh no

[upper pollen]

they will add it

[radiant echo]

Those other 3 games have no servers

[upper pollen]

files have been found

[arctic grove]

Ea play is free with non ultimate version as well

[green breach]

Gonna have to post source to end the debate

[brittle forge]

We know the paid battlepass is cosmetic only and that we’re getting one specialist every season. That’s it. It’s leaked that we’re getting one portal map and one 2042 map every season but that’s unconfirmed. No details either way on the amount of weapons we get

[wary crown]

I thought it was ultimate only. Idk I don’t own an Xbox

[junior pike]

What is the use of the battle pass？

[hidden sand]

I do not expect them to announce how much of things we will get until they're done with it.

[radiant echo]

Doesn't tell it invadablely

[arctic grove]

But previously premium content locked maps (and guns? I can’t remember honestly) behind that wall. I get what you’re saying that both have a buy in but having a battle pass is much more consumer friendly imo and these days it’s all about retention so the grinding of tiers is what companies like EA love

[lost sky]

i do have ea pass from xbox pass

does that mean i can play?

[green breach]

@junior pike Tonpay for future maps, weapons, and modes

[royal trail]

yeah for 10 hours

[arctic grove]

For 10 hours

[lost sky]

pain

[radiant echo]

I just hope we get more maps than BF5 got

[arctic grove]

Also

Give me your gamepass so I can play forza horizon 5

[brittle forge]

Well, I should say Tom Henderson said 6-8 guns per season, but that was like in fucking June so who knows if that’s still accurate

[wary crown]

10 hours is enough time to see if you like the game or not. It’s a good deal

[arctic grove]

Yo

[lost sky]

i got free 3 month pass from crunchyroll

[hidden sand]

I don't believe that's accurate now at all lmao

[lost sky]

and made a new acc just for Forza

[slim quiver]

You can tell if a game is good in like 2 hours if it’s multiplayer only lol. 10 hours is plenty

[hidden sand]

Has DICE ever released that many guns in a dlc drop before?

[junior pike]

lol

[hidden sand]

I can't recall

[arctic grove]

You know fall guys was 20$ and had a free battlepass with banging cosmetics

[lost sky]

beta was amazing, it felt like I was playing BF4 with some mods

[brittle forge]

To be fair in battlefield one they actually got pretty close to that, especially Tsar, which had like 8

[green breach]

Metro 128 players. Everyone dozers

[arctic grove]

Not if you’re a freak like me who will happily spend those 2 hours just fiddling in the menus

[wary crown]

I was able to tell the game was for me in the 1 hour I played the beta for

[brittle forge]

BFV Pacific also added like 10 guns at once

[quasi parcel]

How much gb the game? I heard its 50gb but there are +50gb update

[slim quiver]

I spend like 3 hours on character customizers so I know how that can be haha

[arctic grove]

345 gb

[junior pike]

What's in the battle pass？

[brittle forge]

Bloodborne moment

[gusty jasper]

Worms

[analog stirrup]

guns and maps

[subtle iron]

Holy shit

[quasi parcel]

Really, how much? 50-60gb?

[dull cedar]

2 terabytes

[lost sky]

sus

[brittle forge]

He’s fucking around. it’s not that high lol

[wary crown]

This sounds bad but I wasn’t able to play the beta because the extreme lack of aim assist. I was a dyspraxic with hand eye coordination issues going up against KBM. Is the aim assist going to be better when the game launches

[arctic grove]

The more you cry the more GB I add

[green breach]

Lol if it was 2 tb I'd cancel my preorder

[subtle iron]

cold war was 150 or something like that

[quasi parcel]

Cry?

[hidden sand]

According to DICE, yes

[slim quiver]

Any souls game moment

[tender folio]

[arctic grove]

Not offending but don’t play online FPS

[brittle forge]

I think 2042 is clocking in between 80 and 100

[stiff summit]

if u count battle pickups and the phantom bow bf4 has dropped 5-7 guns on alot of dlcs

[lost sky]

far better than Warzone

[arctic grove]

It is 350gb now

[brittle forge]

Indeed

[quiet sluice]

Really?

[arctic grove]

351

[green breach]

If portal wasn't server side. 2042 would be as big as cod

[brittle forge]

No.

[wary crown]

Oh I can play online FPS without many problems with aim assist I’m just slightly worse. Still can get solid KDA etc but lower accuracy

[slim quiver]

The release size might as well be like 100-120gb is my GUESS

[wise zodiac]

Debatable. 10 hours in, I'm getting used to controls & making adjustments to things. I'm still figuring out gameplay.

[slim quiver]

On pc that is

[wary crown]

No offence taken lol

[green breach]

Aim assist for 2042 is very tame

[arctic grove]

I would prefer trying out MOBAS like heroes of the storm or card games like heart stone

[lost sky]

i just wish the game runs 60+ on my GTX1650

[hidden sand]

No all of the content in Portal is stored locally, the server customization is serverside

[slim quiver]

10 hours is a looong time. Then again I’m only speaking from my perspective

[brittle forge]

To be fair you’ll usually know if you downright hate or love a game by that point. If you were on the fence the entire time then yeah you’re still probably going to be on the fence after 10 hours

[arctic grove]

Game is 360gb now stay mad

[tranquil coral]

oooof I actually want to know if it does

[slim quiver]

I actually maxed out my level in vanguard before 10 hours clocked lmao

[hidden sand]

I can see animations, guns, options, visuals, etc in the span of 2 hours

[arctic grove]

i preloaded it

[green breach]

What game is 360 gigs?

[lost sky]

i hope they optimize it

[arctic grove]

https://tenor.com/view/skillissue-skill-issue-gif-22125481

[wary crown]

I mostly play single player games and PS Exclusives that honestly don’t require that much skill

[arctic grove]

it was 51 gb

[lost sky]

beta was just good

[hidden sand]

God damn dude

[brittle forge]

Cold’s imagination

[subtle iron]

if they make that game 360 gb I'm gonna do a tripple flip while laying on the ground

[slim quiver]

Same!

[stone epoch]

Took me 20 hours of being forced by my buddy to play monster hunter world to realize I actually love the game

[arctic grove]

Lmao most PS exclusive have more cutscenes than a movie

[stone epoch]

IG for life

[hidden sand]

The dedication lol, glad you're enjoying it so much though zzzy

[arctic grove]

It’s 370 now

[arctic grove]

dont worry its 51 gb from the preload for early access 😂

[slim quiver]

I haven’t max leveled a cod game since BO2 haha

[arctic grove]

I will literally make the game 400gb now

[wary crown]

until dawn is literally an 8 hour cutscene and I love it

[wise zodiac]

Has nothing to do with skill.

[wary crown]

Sorry if I’m going off topic

[brittle forge]

You all know ColdatNight’s doing a bit, right? Lmao

[green breach]

If a game was 400 gigs I'd cancel my preorder

[subtle iron]

dont do it I dont want to but an extra storage thing for my xbox

[arctic grove]

Yes but I like playing the game sometimes ya know, if the game is playing itself why am I even playing it

[dull cedar]

call of duty black ops cold war, vanguard and warzone combined is still bigger than that 😂

[arctic grove]

It’s 432 now

[green breach]

Now it's getting old

[junior pike]

What is the battle pass used for, do I need to buy it?？

[hidden sand]

I don't, I'm a robot

[arctic grove]

Yeah no only 312 gun

[rapid oracle]

Wait the game is 400gb?

[subtle iron]

I hope you step on a razor sharp lego

[green breach]

@junior pike cosmetics mostly

[slim quiver]

Cosmetics

[lost sky]

sadly yes

[dull cedar]

skins

[arctic grove]

I hope you can install this 456 gb game

[green breach]

And unlocking the specialist or guns from the get go without having to grind for them.

[junior pike]

Is the Ultimate Edition free to unlock?

[subtle iron]

I dont even have 160 gb available for storage

[brittle forge]

Shit wrong reply again FUCK

[radiant echo]

Honestly If I play 500 hours I would happily pay

[hidden sand]

I felt that bro I truly felt that

[arctic grove]

Delete some games to make space for 489gb

[lost sky]

after pre-installing forza i got like 10GB left lol

[hidden sand]

Happens to me all of the time

[brittle forge]

I mean when it comes to video games, you don’t need to buy anything. But pedantics aside the pass is cosmetic only

[rapid oracle]

456+ patches and updates 😂

[green breach]

Can you reword that?

[radiant echo]

This game kills it

[wise zodiac]

Being a perfectionist with my controls isn't a skill issue.

Mapping controls is important, finding what control scheme works and what control scheme doesn't is important.

Determining whether or not I like the gameplay takes a back seat.

[dull cedar]

it costs $100-$120 depending on platform

[gusty jasper]

That picture is a meme btw

He's just joking :)

[lost sky]

the normal edition is like 40$ in my region

[junior pike]

oh

[arctic grove]

If you need 10 hours for figuring out controls for an FPS there is some issue

[green breach]

Ultimate is a waste of money honestly. I recommend gold.

[slim quiver]

I’ve always just played with default controls with only switching mic options. I wonder if controls would change my style

[brittle forge]

That’s not what he said lol

[dull cedar]

nice

[wise zodiac]

Controls includes sensitivity settings, FOV settings, button layouts for vehicles, etc.

[arctic grove]

Ik he means mapping controls

[slim quiver]

Oh wait in BFV I changed my gadget button for bandages

[hidden sand]

I just use the "alternate" control scheme on ps4

[slim quiver]

Sensitivity is like the most variable setting. I change sensitivity daily

[arctic grove]

30 minutes max.....max, like my dad took 2 minutes to get used to csgo

[green breach]

Who's buying 2042 on last gen?

[wise zodiac]

I have an elite controller.

[junior pike]

Is the battle pass free in the ultimate version?

[gusty jasper]

changing sens

[arctic grove]

I just remember changing the heli controls to southpaw

[hidden sand]

Really? Wouldn't that mess with your aim?

[wise zodiac]

So, I map certain buttons to certain things.

[arctic grove]

https://tenor.com/view/spit-take-wtf-shocked-gif-12760839

[green breach]

@wise zodiac im going to get an elite controller how is it?

[dull cedar]

i bought it on ps4

[wise zodiac]

I like it. It's smooth. Grip is nice.

[dull cedar]

it's free in the gold and ultimate editions

[stiff summit]

it takes 10 hours to setup aparently

[green breach]

10 hours WTF!

[arctic grove]

Battlepass should be free in paid games

[green breach]

Oh nvmnd

[wise zodiac]

You need to learn context.

[brittle forge]

Speaking of elite controllers SCUF is finally getting around to the PS5 and I’m so ready

[green breach]

Like a proper looking one?

[dull cedar]

battlepasses shouldn't be a thing, period
i'd rather grind for cosmetics than to blow real money on cosmetics

[green breach]

Like with Xbox?

[arctic grove]

Set up an elite controller? What is there to set up?

[rapid oracle]

System Requirments says 100gb of storage

[junior pike]

me too

[rapid oracle]

400 can't be true lmao

[pine roost]

well now you get to pay to grind for cosmetics 👍

[stiff summit]

iam just memeing but i dont understand how u dont just default to max fov the sensetivity from the last fps u played and i mean its a controller if the button layout for basic actions are different then what they should be then the devs fucked up big time

[austere furnace]

facts say 50gb

[green breach]

@arctic grove it was a joke with 10 hour play window with EA play.

[arctic grove]

I mean free games? Yeah devs need to earn money buy a fucking 60$ game? Fuck?

[green breach]

Halo multiplayer is free

[arctic grove]

fuck I got memed on, that’s it I’m ending it all

[wise zodiac]

Because the sensitivity in each game is different. The FOV sliders are different in each game.

Not everything is copy/paste.

[arctic grove]

Also BP system might remove some good shit forever

[brittle forge]

Devs aren’t going to leave money on the table if I had the choice between paid gameplay content or paid cosmetics it’s cosmetics every time

[green breach]

FOMO. God I hate those

[stiff summit]

how is fov different ? its not like ure using a different lens for a real camera 90 fov is 90 everywhere

[arctic grove]

Technically something to consider is the way sensitivity is calculated based on FOV changes in each game. That’s where the uniform coefficient thing is pretty good to be fair

[green breach]

Yup I use 90 FOV

[wintry pagoda]

How do we become 'content creators' for BF2042 if we have a youtube channel? Is there someon specific I need to talk to and what is the process to become one? I have multiple gaming PCs and would love to showcase the game at its highest settings in buttery smooth gameplay on PC. Would appreciate any advice and/or help. Thanks in advance.

[green breach]

Probably have to have a lot of subscribers first and know people

[wise zodiac]

Because field of view changes in each game?

[arctic grove]

60$ game

Case closed wrap up boys

[earnest gulch]

Battlefield has been cancelled

[arctic grove]

Oi lads, how about this, All 64 Irish VS 64 Boris. 2042 Americans vs Russians 😏

[nova idol]

Seeing vanguard's campaign makes me glad 2042 dropped it

[hidden sand]

I'm pretty sure they handpick people rather than listen to requests. I could be entirely wrong about that though.

[green breach]

If 2042 was free I bet guns would be locked behind a paywall

[arctic grove]

So halo should have needle gun for 40$?

[gusty jasper]

Different games use different render methods for field of view. FOV in source games works different than FOV in Battlefield or OW

[brittle forge]

You’d have a point if gamers didn’t suck ass at voting with their wallets. But if DICE put up one anime skin for $30 a ton of morons would buy that shit

[arctic grove]

And csgo Deagle should be 700$

[dull cedar]

or 1000$ for a battle rifle in halo

[arctic grove]

Wait

[green breach]

CSGO is hardly free. Costs money to play ranked matches

[tame cobalt]

The main thing i wanna know is how many maps we should expect per season

[stiff summit]

are we talking about the viewmodel or the fov itself because iam pretty sure for example that the fps camera for unity and unreal are 1:1 woops meant to ping @gusty jasper

[green breach]

@tame cobalt it's confirmed to be 2

[fossil trench]

New Portal trailer I see

[deft fossil]

id buy the anime skin for 100 depending on the anime

[brittle forge]

Congratulations, you’re the problem lmao

[radiant echo]

No

we don't know

[green breach]

I'll dig up the source.

[deft fossil]

im buying something i like idk how im the problem

[radiant echo]

They just said new maps

[fossil trench]

Just a hater

[arctic grove]

hey peter

3 and a half days till the release !

[junior pike]

What's the battle pass besides cosmetics

[azure lodge]

Battlefield 2042 | Release (Gold/Ultimate)
Releases <t:1636704000:R> (<t:1636704000:F>) Exact time is an estimate

[arctic grove]

Cosmetics

[fossil trench]

More cosmetics

[brittle forge]

Liking anime is fine but buying a single digital skin worth more than an entire brand new game is bad for everyone else

[radiant echo]

Free tier includes guns and gadgets

[green breach]

Shit I knew I saw the source somewhere. Possible that source got deleted for NDA

[arctic grove]

Does it include guns tho?

[fossil trench]

Nah but I’m sure there will be a bunch of xp boosters

[junior pike]

oh

[deft fossil]

but i want it

[arctic grove]

Titanfall 2 is 60$ and has a fucking awesome campaign that keeps reinovating itself. A unique and balanced multiplayer gameplay with the best map design ever with ALOT of free content dropped over the time and free cosmetics

I forgot to reply the guy

[green breach]

We get it you are not buying 2042

[pine roost]

nice

[arctic grove]

@brittle forge

[radiant echo]

yeah

[jade magnet]

titanfall 2 campaign is only like, 2 hours long lol

[next gulch]

"Titanfall 2 is literally the greatest game ever made"-Reddit

[brittle forge]

Buy if the price is fair, but a price that inflated shows that you clearly don’t have good understanding of money

[arctic grove]

It’s 17 hours long lol

[arctic grove]

Do you have a source ? I have some free time and I wanna read about what else is in it

[green breach]

Titanfall support got cut for Alex legends

[arctic grove]

17 hours 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[arctic grove]

It is

[pine roost]

i can't remember how long it took me

not 17 hours though

[brittle forge]

It’s like 6. It’s a great campaign but it is not that long

[pine roost]

maybe for a completionist

[radiant echo]

Battlefield Briefing Video and jackfrags some video

[green breach]

Greatest game ever made was E.T. the game.

[fossil trench]

If any EA game is in your top 10. You’re objectively wrong

[next gulch]

the Titanfall 2 circlejerk is all of Reddit's worst tendencies, besides falsely accusing a bombing suspect

[arctic grove]

Thanks

[jade magnet]

you literally run through the whole thing, progress is only blocked by killing the bosses or whatever

[arctic grove]

Titanfall 2 + ratio

[pine roost]

it's not a circlejerk if it's true

XD

[dull cedar]

even if it's an old one like Battlefield 2 (which came out in 2005)?

[uneven palm]

Isn’t battlefield made by ea

[deft fossil]

if i want it and i think its worth its all that matters

[wise zodiac]

[celest oar]

It pay up for the development and server maintain, I thought it a good thing, no?

[fossil trench]

I love BF but I have played games I like more

[bitter hill]

let me play now dammit

[arctic grove]

||time travel, arc activator, parkour puzzles, combat puzzles, open level designs, new titan abilities||

[fossil trench]

I don’t even have a multiplayer game in my top 10

[wise zodiac]

@fossil trench, KotOR is like my number 1 game of all time.

And KotOR is an EA published game.

[bitter hill]

what's that

[uneven palm]

Ok

[sullen inlet]

best game of all time is GTA SA, no discussions

[arctic grove]

Titanfall 2 + ratio again

[brittle forge]

Not when people like you are why all digital cosmetics are so grossly overinflated in the first place.

[arctic grove]

No

[cunning gust]

Halo reach

[sullen inlet]

I SAID NO DISCUSSIONS

[dark sandal]

WE CRY OOOOPEN

[next gulch]

EA Games Challenge everything back when they were good

[wise zodiac]

If you don't know what KotOR is, it's before your time. Look it up.

[brittle forge]

Like $100? Really man

[bitter hill]

halo reach was the best one out of the seties

[arctic grove]

Hotline Miami 2 I need no @

[fossil trench]

Shitty game, masterpiece trailers

[sullen inlet]

BF2042, dont @ me

[junior pike]

Will future maps need to be paid or free

[arctic grove]

Preload in 2 days and still no specific info on monetization. I guess they won't reveal it before launch.

[radiant echo]

np

[fossil trench]

Sorry not sorry

[brittle forge]

Hey you can buy whatever you want but I just hope mommy’s credit card can take all the abuse you give it

[wise zodiac]

Uh, are you talking about SWTOR or KotOR?

[bitter hill]

just looked it up.. I never played that one but I played the original battlefront 2

[junior pike]

Will future maps need to be paid or free

[dark sandal]

bro code geass is some 5d chess level shit

[fossil trench]

Oh shit, yeah I meant SWTOR

Whoops

[dark sandal]

everything is connected its ridiculous

[wise zodiac]

Because KotOR is fucking legendary. SWTOR is garbage.

[uneven palm]

Lmao

[next gulch]

legendary with boomers amirite

[wise zodiac]

SWTOR has NOTHING on SW Galaxies

[arctic grove]

Sweater?

[deft fossil]

nah my mom wouldnt let me in 100 years spend that much if it were her money thats why i work for it im p sure most people who buy cosmetics make their own money

[fossil trench]

No lmao

[next gulch]

SWTOR=Sweater

[junior pike]

Will future maps need to be paid or free？

[dull cedar]

star wars the old republic, some free-to-play world of warcraft ripoff

[arctic grove]

Yes

[fossil trench]

I wouldn’t sweat that shitty game

[dark sandal]

its easy enough to get a gift card

[arctic grove]

Knights of the old republic

[wise zodiac]

Pretty much. It's not that good.

[dark sandal]

bro what you dont need a credit card

[brittle forge]

But like $100 for one skin man, at some point you have to have some self respect

[dark sandal]

lmao

[wise zodiac]

No, that's KotOR.

KotOR isn't SWTOR.

[fossil trench]

Yeah it literally is a World of Warcraft rip-off. Beat me to it

[wise zodiac]

SWTOR isn't even set in the same Era as KotOR

[arctic grove]

I would never in my life spend irl money on a cosmetic

[bitter hill]

hey is the original battlefront made by the battlefield people?

[worthy token]

yo guys

[arctic grove]

I know

[deft fossil]

people spend WAY more money on more dumber shit

[mossy island]

anyone knows at what time on Friday we can play?

[dull cedar]

the original star wars battlefront games were made by Pandemic Studios

[daring canyon]

Should I get this game or vanguard

[cold nymph]

how dare you ask something like that

[arctic grove]

The only skins I buy are in csgo or dota purely for trading purposes

[bitter hill]

oh ok, cool

[analog stirrup]

get vanguard so i can laugh

[uneven palm]

Ummm fortnite

[celest oar]

both, why choose?

[brittle forge]

Lots of people jump off of fucking bridges too do you want to do that because it’s such a good idea

[fossil trench]

This is a BF discord, what do you think people will say?

[arctic grove]

Deathloop

[dull cedar]

plague inc evolved

[daring canyon]

That’s true but I’m asking in vanguard discord too lol

[pine roost]

titanfall 2

[deft fossil]

no because i dont want to do that. I want the skin lmao

[pine roost]

lol i'll stop

[small night]

I’m so excited, first battlefield with 0 bugs

[wise zodiac]

The only good star wars game that's actually came out in the last 5 years has been Fallen Order.

[bitter hill]

skipping vanguard this year.. unless they bring in the zombie characters

[arctic grove]

[sullen inlet]

you wouldnt be in this server if you knew what to get

[uneven palm]

From what I’ve seen from vanguard it’s pretty shit so ig battlefield

[fossil trench]

That game becomes boring af after 2 rounds

I mean I can’t stop you from doing whatever you want obviously. But “other people are morons" is not a good reason to follow in their footsteps. All I'm saying, lmao

[uneven palm]

Expect?

[arctic grove]

You have no friends

[wise zodiac]

Isn't this Forza in like Baja California or something?

[daring canyon]

Oh

[small night]

Honestly I’m waiting to see if battlefield is bad or not, if it is, vanguard here I come

[pine roost]

play it if you want, if you've played literally any cod before it's exactly the same thing

[deft fossil]

im not buying the skin because OTHER people are im buying it because I WANT IT

[fossil trench]

Except

[bitter hill]

Mexico something

[daring canyon]

Yeah I found the bf beta fun

[pine roost]

if your friends are playing it then go ahead

[wise zodiac]

Yeah, same thing.

Okay, cool

[small night]

Tbh just buy roblox

[next gulch]

It's in New Mexico, actually

[muted ore]

BRUHHHHHHHHHHHH

[wise zodiac]

Game Pass Ultimate gang. Get it for free.

[dull cedar]

roblox is free

[arctic grove]

Ubisoft gave me so many farcry 5 cosmetics for free

[fossil trench]

Tf buy Roblox? Roblox is free

[tame cobalt]

Overinflated cosmetic prices are based. Let the whales fund the dlc

[arctic grove]

Well then buy csgo

[small night]

Damn… I just bought it

Oops

[brittle forge]

You also want an inflated price for everyone else which is my whole problem with this in case you haven't noticed

[fossil trench]

This ^

[next gulch]

Caring about cosmetics in non MMOs, lul people are dumb nowadays

[brittle forge]

Learn "value for money" I beg of you

[arctic grove]

COSMETICS SHOULD BE FREE IN 60$ game

[deft fossil]

tf am i supposed to do never buy a cosmetic again until they are $5 each which will prob take forever hell no

[fossil trench]

You sound like the gaming community like 10 years ago

[brittle forge]

No but you don’t have to pay $100 for one fucking skin either man like holy shit

[wise zodiac]

If I put 1k into SHIB 5 months ago, I'd have almost a million dollars.

[dull cedar]

unironically this

[fossil trench]

Everyone accepts cosmetics these days

[arctic grove]

You sound like this gif

[slim quiver]

The thing is when people complain about cosmetics they tell people “yes let the people that want to buy them, buy them” and then they’re like “oh but nothing crazy” if you want to show support for a skin theme, then buy it. If you let the whales buy it you’re just giving more power to what sells

they should be free, but companies figured out we'd pay for it so that ends that

[deft fossil]

we are supporting the game and basically funding the next one but keep complaining

[small night]

Lol what, I mean some can be free but the good ones must be bought

[arctic grove]

With that mentality.....

[solid imp]

If it's your money then spend it how you want, not how someone else projects their own money habits onto you

Worthless cosmetics or loot boxes? Hmm. Tough choice,

My main complaint about BF2042 is the lack of realistic dog models. I mean call of duty ghosts really hit it out of the park with realistic dog models scanned from a real seal team dog. Also where are the mechanics of fish moving out of the way when you go next to them? CODG really innovated with their realistic and dynamic set pieces

Sarcasm

[next gulch]

Loot boxes is better system

[analog stirrup]

@small nightwhen the main selling point is micro-transactions then the integrity of the game suffers.

You’re playing an EA game… did you forget that?

Add support to steam market and then I might buy skins

@small nightjust telling you the truth and of course i know it's an ea game

Even though i fucking hate BPs and whatnot, they are 100% better than p2w lootboxes

What battlefield really lacks is next gen fish AI

What if I buy 100$ AK skin and it goes 300$ in next few months and I sell it :D (csgo)

[deft fossil]

its not being a dipshit if its worth it for that person..... dipshit

[fossil trench]

Getting mad at people for buying microtransactions? Might as well just be mad at the Sun because it exists

Whining hasn’t done anything lmao, if you’re worried about integrity well… get used to it… it’s EA

@small nightjust because you've given up the fight, doesn't everyone else should.

There is no fight @analog stirrup … you’re a number to EA, 1 in a couple hundred thousand… EA hasn’t changed and won’t change until people stop buying their games… but that won’t happen… so please stop whining

[next gulch]

yes water levels always the best levels in any game

[fossil trench]

I don’t agree or disagree with this

[dull cedar]

It would give an opportunity for EA and DICE to flex their innovative and next gen fish ai and dog models

[green breach]

And thanks to climate change we will have many water levels.

Battlefield 2042 should have a mode called TDM where two teams fight each other to earn more kills

EA changed from one of the worst game companies to work for to one of the best

[fossil trench]

Battlefield 2042 isn’t a game about politics -> the game is literally climate change

[dull cedar]

portal has that

[arctic grove]

It is far from being on of the best, very far

I heard Blizzard was the best company to work for, that true?

It also doesn’t have a campaign to actually say anything about it so there is that.

I'm sure blizzard was at one point. Like 20 years ago

EA sports is the best place to work I am not even joking

[fossil trench]

DICE is obviously progressive with the setting of the game but hey “no politics” marketing ^10000%

[buoyant mirage]

lol doc and tim saying bf is trash and they wont be playing it because they have to do an ad meanwhile there chat going anti cod lmao

[iron blade]

Yup, especially if ur female

Dont fucking warn me mods its sarcasm, im not being serious, what blizzard did is 100% wrong and i dont agree with it

It probably is, EA Sports employees don't seem to do anything but screw around

You get paid as much and all you do is copy paste

EA definitely is the better company to work for, you don't even have to finish a game properly

I was good at that

If I got a job at ea sports you will be our primary target

I thought that's valves thing. Mess around and just collect royalties from sales. Once in awhile they do something cool. Like steam deck.

[fossil trench]

I hope Blizzard gets dissolved one day

[unkempt beacon]

Id love to be a developer of fifa and pretend to work on new and exciting features for a year but all it really is, is copy and paste from last year with a few new textures

What I'm trying to get a is we get steady stream of new content and not just cosmetics.

[analog stirrup]

it actually might

[iron blade]

I only saw it once

[hidden sand]

Now that's a new level of optimism I didn't think I'd see

[brittle forge]

Hazard Zone's probably gonna have a hell of a time trying to save itself I’m gonna be honest

[small night]

😂😂😂

[brittle forge]

But hey if it kicks ass than all power to it

[fossil trench]

Why tf are people excited about Hazard Zone? It looks boring af

[runic prism]

No bruh. The portal is gonna save bf 2042

[green breach]

If hazard zone failed they will just port over firestorm and make a new map. Can play the old map in the mean time

[fossil trench]

Am I missing something?

[small night]

Portal is probably gonna lag since EA will run it on one server with their amazing budget

[iron blade]

Lads lads listen, dog model is going to save 2042

[fossil trench]

Hazard Zone screams generic

[dull cedar]

operation metro will save 2042 when its added to portal

[tame cobalt]

why u catfishing bro

[bitter hill]

hazard zone is supposed to be the warzone killer

[green breach]

Isn't it possible PC will have third party dedicated servers?

[fossil trench]

Lol good joke

[small night]

Won’t be

[arctic grove]

Battlefield™️ saved 2042

[small night]

Hazard zone has 0 chance of really hurting the warzone player base

[fossil trench]

Hazard Zone could make 10 billion dollars and Warzone would still be more popular

[native jacinth]

bros why was preload moved

[green breach]

I thought hazard zone had its own unique map.

[arctic grove]

War zone is literally free

[fossil trench]

Don’t underestimate COD fanboys

[small night]

Hazardzone won’t compete with warzone literally because it’s paid vs free

[brittle forge]

Hazard Zone is intentionally trying to avoid competing with Warzone. Why do you think they stressed that it’s not a battle royale so much before they revealed it?

[hidden sand]

It was only moved a few hours afaik

[native jacinth]

@hidden sand yea i just wonder why

[tame cobalt]

they forgor to list the correct time in the first place

[small night]

I think it’s more so they’re trying to be unique which is competing

…

[native jacinth]

bruh aight ty

[fossil trench]

Hazard Zone is literally Rush with BR mechanics

[green breach]

Cause BR getting old.

[fossil trench]

No thanks

[hidden sand]

they forgor 💀

[native jacinth]

had to lay off of alcohol for a while to have enough cash for gold in case i do actually get over 60fps stable ingame

ea play 10 hour trial ready

[small night]

Ew don’t waste money like that

Cmon now

[green breach]

Smoking is more expensive though.

[arctic grove]

Do you how hard ass stabbing it is to make a BR, it needs ALOT of time and money so it shouldn’t have been their priority anyways

[native jacinth]

at least i don't smoke

[green breach]

They already made firestorm. They have the coding for it already.

[small night]

tru

[green breach]

They just have to make a new map.

[fossil trench]

BR market is way too crowded. EA already has a BR cashcow

[robust stratus]

I don’t think that’s how it works….

[small night]

EA product managers need to be replaced tbh, they ain't ever get anything right

[green breach]

@robust stratus still quicker than if they never made a BR mode

[robust stratus]

We just need to get a bad company 3

[native jacinth]

honestly the biggest pro for hazard zone is how little players are needed for a full match, going to help with queue times in case the mode is dead on arrival

[green breach]

Heard they tried but couldn't get the old voice actors.

[wary crown]

Hazard Zone only has a chance to work if it becomes standalone free to play.

[fossil trench]

Why would EA make a BR game to compete with their other BR game?

[green breach]

That means they didn't offer enough money.

[fossil trench]

Doesn’t make sense lol

[small night]

EA so stingyyy

[robust stratus]

Hazard zone is gonna be ZZZZZZZZ if I wanted to play a gamemode like that I’d play tarkov or hunt

Hazard zone will be dead after 3 weeks

[green breach]

AOW and Portal where it's at

[hot oak]

Biggest L if ANY video game doesn't make a BR

[green breach]

The only two I'll probably play.

[fossil trench]

Yeah I’m getting Firestorm vibes everywhere

[hot oak]

Arena shooters are ded

[small night]

90% of the people who hate on hazardzone are the ones who want to revert to the old battlefield style

[dull cedar]

FIFA still doesn't have a battle royale mode and it's doing ok

[native jacinth]

i mean it's gonna be better than tarkov probably

[hot oak]

COULD BE DOING BETTER

[robust stratus]

Playing with literal feces is better than tarkov

[native jacinth]

^

[tame cobalt]

I feel like manifest is a map most people forget exists ... they didn't really show it off very much

[green breach]

Really a new sports game only needs to be made once per gen

[robust stratus]

L opinion L life L message

[fossil trench]

Wtf is wrong with Tarkov?

[small night]

it takes skill

XD

[analog stirrup]

it's too hard for some people

[turbid rapids]

never played it

[native jacinth]

cheaters, optimization, feature bloat

[green breach]

I mean hazard zone gonna probably be the least played compared to portal and aow for sure

[robust stratus]

Don’t get me started bro I literally talked so much shit about tarkov in here I got muted for 24 hours

[hazy sun]

You mean people that just want 24/7 locker metro servers, gotcha

[robust stratus]

I’ll literally write you an essay on that fucking shit stain of a game

[green breach]

It's just 24 hours not a big deal

[hot oak]

Tarkov was ruined by toxic friends not willing to help me learn lol

[native jacinth]

@hot oak they probably didn't want u to play

[green breach]

I'd dump your friends then

[brittle forge]

If they added hazard Zone to Portal, now that would be crazy

[native jacinth]

so far i've got 10 people to NOT try tarkov ever

[hot oak]

Then they got what they wanted 😢

[green breach]

Hazard zone have an exclusive map or what?

[fossil trench]

Isn’t Tarkov like DayZ? You die easily and you lose everything?

[native jacinth]

it's probably nothing personal the game is just not worth getting into
@green breach it plays on AOW maps

[brittle forge]

No. It's the mp maps

[robust stratus]

I just started cheating in tarkov to get kids off the game. That game is actual hellspawn and I pray on its downfall every day

[green breach]

Gonna die out fast.

[native jacinth]

yes but instead of being open world you go into ~50 minute matches and have a stash where you can keep your shit

[tame cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/bateman-patrick-bateman-american-psycho-based-based-department-gif-20278087

[small night]

Sounds like you need to go outside and get a life instead of get that pressed about a game

[native jacinth]

lmao i wish i could be mad @ you for cheating but i know an entire discord of diehard tarkov cocksuckers that just gave up on the game and started cheating too

[robust stratus]

Nah bro it’s more fun that way

[green breach]

Might have been better off just having the two but more fleshed out. Or give people their campaign I guess

[fossil trench]

Are there kits? What if you lose everything?

[brittle forge]

Tarkov looks like a cool game based on the amount of detail it has but I don’t know if I'd want to actually play it lmao

[robust stratus]

Makes the game playable

[arctic grove]

so many extreme salty viewpoints here on each side of the spectrum

[native jacinth]

you either quit or join cheating, it's a deadend game and they'll stop updating it when they announce russia2028

[native jacinth]

if you lose everything you can play as a scav, which is a temporary character with random gear that spawns into an ongoing match

[small night]

It's too complex, which is why Hazardzone could be better since it's more for the average consumer

[robust stratus]

Battlestate games have changed their name 3 times and have abandoned 4 projects. They run a game into a beta for years get money, shut the game down rebrand and relaunch its a scam

[fossil trench]

Gotcha

[tame cobalt]

is that a tarkov successor

[robust stratus]

Russia2028 is the fallback project for battlestate when the exit scam tarkov

[green breach]

What's a real scam is star citizen

[native jacinth]

nikita buyanov originally wanted to make russia2028, a stalker clone if you will, but didn't have enough funding
so they made escape from tarkov because it was cheaper to make

[fossil trench]

ESP is the most egregious form of hacking. Just because it’s undetectable

[brittle forge]

I hate that this is true because I like the designs of the ships in that game but yeah it’s vaporware at this point

[green breach]

Too ahead of its time

[robust stratus]

Bro imagine a game where the gameplay loop is to hoard loot, do the same quests every time just for these brain dead devs to wipe the game and make you redo all the grind. FOR THE LAST 4 years

Tarkov is so sped

[fossil trench]

Wtf happened to Mark Hamil being in it?

[slim quiver]

The way Tarkov gear works they need to wipe the game btw

[green breach]

Probably didn't offer enough money to him

[native jacinth]

i've been playing for like 2000 hours? EOD edition and all

[slim quiver]

The game eventually becomes impossible because everyone has slick armor

[native jacinth]

the game isn't fun unless they wipe but every wipe makes the game feel more and more like a job

it's like rust but fulltime

[slim quiver]

And m995 ammo

[fossil trench]

Didn’t they do mocap with Mark Hamil though? Lmao

[slim quiver]

Non stop 1 tapping everyone while never dying. It gets dry as hell

[hazy sun]

Hamil is only in the single player component, not really the core star citizen component from what I understand

[fossil trench]

Gotcha

[brittle forge]

We don’t know if it’s supposed to be the core or not because it is isn't out yet lol

It sounds like they’re putting a lot of work into it but we have no idea

[hazy sun]

Has a different title so I assume it's another component

[native jacinth]

biggest tarkov redpill is when you take an altyn and realise those god gamer onetap 9x19mm users are actually just aimlocked onto your head

[green breach]

I wonder if the maps would have a different playable area or expanded on in hazard zone.

[fossil trench]

Star Citizen only needs 50 million dollars and it will come out for sure this time!

[green breach]

Yes when the year the game takes place happens

[daring canyon]

I’m worried that the progression system will give no incentive to level up since there is no classes

[hazy sun]

For the record I'm not invested in star citizen, but it is a product I would like to see succeed, it's something I've been wanting to try

[robust stratus]

Yes because the content is so shallow. I’m sure they can think of some way to keep loot from being hoarded. Like random scav raids on your stash which delete items. Or big community boss battles that if you wanna succeed you need top tier shit that you can lose. And not just defaulting tj wiping everyone’s progress every few months and making them start all over again for the last 4 years

[native jacinth]

i assume progression will revolve greatly around weapon customization this time around COD style

[daring canyon]

Oh okay good

[native jacinth]

there's just no fucking way there's only 2lmgs, they need to be customizable as shit

i say fuck way too much

[fossil trench]

Ngl though Star Citzen looks and feels like the perfect space game

[slim quiver]

I highly doubt 2042 has weapon smith like cod lol

[daring canyon]

Well there’s only two confirmed lmgs

There could be more

[fossil trench]

Just a money dumpster though

[robust stratus]

Accurate response to finding out a game in 2021 costs 60 dollars and has less weapons on launch than its predecessor which came out in 2011

[green breach]

Meh just want my SAW lmg back

[native jacinth]

ehh i mean

[daring canyon]

More weapons does not mean a better game

[slim quiver]

The cod weaponsmith is way different than the quick swap system

[fallen geode]

Include Portal weapons and you'd be dead wrong, but okay.

[native jacinth]

there's a shit ton more weapons in portal which is kinda cope but still

[turbid rapids]

means more variety

[daring canyon]

It’s not a big deal as long as the weapons are balanced and each one can be used

[native jacinth]

if i can level up those guns in portal that's basically four games i can grind out the guns for?

[green breach]

Is metro in portal?

[robust stratus]

Not talking about portal as you cant use those in AOW

[fossil trench]

They should invest the crowdfunding money and use the money to make the game

[native jacinth]

don't think so

[fossil trench]

That’s what I would do

[daring canyon]

Cus what’s a difference between 15 balanced guns compared to 30 guns with only 15 being usable

[green breach]

Imagine first map they will add. Metro is a fan favorite.

[fallen geode]

Portal is a launch mode. AOW is a launch mode. You can't segment them both because it fits your agenda.

[fossil trench]

I deadass got killed by the Mare’s Leg a few days ago

Never been the same since

[robust stratus]

I can because 2042s main gamemode AOW will have 22 weapons on launch

And also I can because I just can

[green breach]

Like the fish says. " MAR LEG"

[fallen geode]

2042 is 3 main modes. They've said this.

[native jacinth]

wanna know what really grinds my gears?

not being able to use AOW weapons unless i play with specialists, even in portal

how much devtime is it to allow bf3 soldiers to use 2042 weapons, what the fuck

[green breach]

That faction lock has to go

[native jacinth]

it's like they did that on purpose

[slim quiver]

Who knows

[native jacinth]

and even in the tweet implied they'll change it

[green breach]

Only thing I can think of is clipping reasons.

[native jacinth]

hmm mebe

[daring canyon]

Idc I’m just glad about the maps

[slim quiver]

Honestly I dont really care about 22 weapons

99% of people will Kill me with 1-2 weapons anyways

It’s the same thing every battlefield game except the last 2

[robust stratus]

Yes

[slim quiver]

Every modern BF game does this

[green breach]

Need that metro map in portal. So we can have dozers everywhere on the map

[daring canyon]

Yeah exactly if they make them balanced then it doesn’t matter if there’s 22

Cus other games have 50 with only a couple useable ones

[frank stratus]

Ah shit, here we go again.

[slim quiver]

Everyone picks the one AR with 0 recoil has the damage of an AR and fire rate of a SMG and that’s all they will use

[robust stratus]

Some guns are just better than others and I personally don’t like getting dunked on in games so I use the weapons that’s best

[hot oak]

I'd be very surprised it more weapons weren't part of live service

[green breach]

Do get that shipping container map though in portal. Loved that map.

[fossil trench]

Tbf there are hidden gems but yeah most guns are never used/trash

[slim quiver]

That’s the problem tho

Everyone gets that mentality

“I won’t pick what I want, I pick what will prevent me from going negative”

[robust stratus]

Yea because dying over and over again isn’t fun??? Is that surprising?

[high fractal]

How’s everyone’s day going 🙂

[green breach]

Kolibri had to be nerfed was too op

[slim quiver]

It is surprising that devs allow a game to be that unbalanced

[robust stratus]

I don’t care about my KD but dying over and over again is just boring

[fossil trench]

AEK in BF2042 please

[slim quiver]

I mean you will die over and over again with multiple factors

[green breach]

As long as it's in the positive range don't care for my K/D. But I do care about my W/L

[slim quiver]

It’s like saying “why should I be using a gun when I can get in a tank and prevent death by like 80%

[daring canyon]

@green breach you can’t really control w/l in 64 vs 64

[slim quiver]

W/L is hard to control with even 32 v 32

[daring canyon]

Yeah lol

[last nexus]

Does anyone know if there will be any BF2042 tournaments similar to COD? If so, which websites are the better competition sites to sign up 2?

[green breach]

Hazard zone would be able to control W/L at least.

[high fractal]

Yea W/L is coin flip

[unkempt beacon]

Easiest way to control w/l is playing as old hag healer bae

[robust stratus]

Win loss is the last one I care about because as a solo player or even a squad of 4 in a 64 v 64 game how much difference can that one person make

[native jacinth]

i don't care that people will only use the 2-3 meta guns

[robust stratus]

If my team isn’t capturing anything wtf can I do about it

[native jacinth]

wanna know who's gonna use all the guns? me

all the attachments maxed the fuck out

[high fractal]

One person has no impact, except maybe a really good chopper pilot can do some work idk

[daring canyon]

I think Bf should ask skin progression like cod

Add

[high fractal]

Nothing lol

[green breach]

Need a huge magazine for the lmg. Like a backpack you wear with ammo

[fossil trench]

Why care about your KDR or WLR?

[robust stratus]

I am going to use nothing but the grappling hook to kill peiple

[green breach]

I'm gonna punch people to death

[fossil trench]

Just stupid

[cold nymph]

Jesus Christ its Russian Bourne

[robust stratus]

Don’t care about either was just saying dying because you are using a bad gun just isn’t fun

[green breach]

No it's John Xina

[robust stratus]

+300 social credit

[unkempt beacon]

Sup Darth Helmet

[green breach]

Sup

[unkempt beacon]

Seen any good balls recently

[green breach]

Seen some space balls

[unkempt beacon]

[ebon stone]

will we be able to name the bots?

[green breach]

Is name them bot 1 bot 2 and so on

Or just name them after polititions.

[nova idol]

John Xina vs The Wok

[turbid rapids]

$20 bucks to name your bot

[analog stirrup]

Jhong Xina*

[stiff vector]

So can we play at 10november ?

Or at 12?

[analog stirrup]

12th

[green breach]

No 10th is preload

[solar tinsel]

November 12th

[nova idol]

No theyll have randomly generated names based on faction

[green breach]

12th is when you can play if you have gold or higher

Damn discord eating my phone battery

Nom nom nom

[white plaza]

Also

Do anyone curious about the battle pass system? (Year 1 pass)

[solar tinsel]

What about the battle pass?

[green breach]

It's probably just cosmetics and not having to grind to unlock the weapons or specialist

[fossil trench]

Cosmetic garbage

[green breach]

I mean I'll pay for a year and see how things go

[hearty kiln]

I hate being sick

[violet minnow]

this is a sad moment

[green breach]

What you sick with?

[white plaza]

Me too

[fossil trench]

Good thing they aren’t paywalling specialists like COD does

[rancid lintel]

Ligma

[solar tinsel]

Nothing confirmed yet, other than it's supposed to be all cosmetic. I wouldn't be surprised if it follows other Battle Pass standards, like having a free track and a premium track.

[hearty kiln]

Covid or flu

[white plaza]

Disease?

[violet minnow]

will we get the gold edition skins/bundles at launch

[cosmic radish]

They will paywall a lot of stuff even though you buy the most expensive game already

[solar tinsel]

Cosmetically, yeah probably

[green breach]

I got summer flu once. I believe it was the one year I skipped my flu shot. Do you taste anything doob?

[cosmic radish]

Battle pass and seasonal content

[hearty kiln]

Yeah, still have taste. May just be really bad cold or fever as well. I dont get sick often

[green breach]

Ya probably just the flu.

[fossil trench]

You get flu shots every year?

[solar tinsel]

Well, the battle pass (or at least the paid one) is going to be cosmetic items. If you referring to seasonal content such as maps, those will be available to all players

[green breach]

Ya by choice (thankfully) and they seem to work.

[solar tinsel]

Maps, Portal content drops, etc. Those are at no cost

[fossil trench]

I haven’t been actually sick for like years

[solar tinsel]

I believe specialists are included too at no cost, but I imagine most cosmetics for them would be in a paid battle pass

[cosmic radish]

Do bots give XP? Will it be abused in modded servers by modders/cheaters just like zombies in COD where you get level 1000 in 5 min?

[turbid rapids]

no xp for killing bots from what I hear

[green breach]

I don't get sick often. Only a few times.

[solar tinsel]

In All out Warfare, I believe yes they do. In Portal, modes designed specifically to be abuse XP likely would not award it

[proud zodiac]

Are the PC requirements for bf2042 still the bizarre ones that came out for beta?

[solar tinsel]

They did mention Portal specifically having checks for XP exploitation

and that Portal modes that may be inclined to XP farm wouldn't reward XP

[green breach]

Yes they are. But DLSS wasn't available in beta. So should run better with it

[violet minnow]

will the battle pass release at launch

[green breach]

We should rename DLSS pixie dust cause it's magic

[proud zodiac]

The CPU requirements were weird

[green breach]

I have a a 5800x so I'm not worried

[solar tinsel]

I don't think we have any official timing on the first Season yet

[proud zodiac]

Ain't no body got an rtx

[fossil trench]

Because of the 128 players

[solar tinsel]

assumedly it would be close to launch

[green breach]

I have a 3080 sacrificed a new born child for it. Thankfully it was the antichrist

[fossil trench]

I could buy 6 PS5s for how much 3080s are going for

[green breach]

Ya getting a 3080 wasn't easy

[analog stirrup]

it's still a console though

[fossil trench]

It does 4k60

Good enough

[analog stirrup]

Lol

[brittle forge]

I got my 3080 with a prebuilt

Really couldn’t find it everywhere else but it was time for a new computer anyway

[green breach]

Of I could I would have gotten an extended warranty on it. But evga typically the only ones that do it.

[split schooner]

Good luck finding a ps5..

[fossil trench]

Man PC elitists complaining about getting 120 FPS are fucking ridiculous

[analog stirrup]

i had to camp a micro-center for a gpu

[fossil trench]

I play on 30 FPS

[split schooner]

jeez..

[brittle forge]

I don’t mind the FPS amount I just hate it when it’s not consistent

[split schooner]

30 fps is unacceptable

For fps game

[solar tinsel]

I like 30fps for photorealistic, cinematic experiences: God of War, TLoU, AC Valhalla

[green breach]

I had to use an auto checkout not to get a 3080. And even then it didn't work all the way. Only added to cart. Didn't check it out. Had to do that part manually

[solar tinsel]

For competitive FPS, 60fps is definitely ideal

[fossil trench]

You don’t even see past 60 FPS! Wtf is the point!

[green breach]

Extremely competitive you need 100+fps

But battlefield isn't hugely competitive

[brittle forge]

Like if I'm playing at an average stable 60 I'm ok though I'd prefer more. But if the FPS drops and stutters all the time that’s when I start to get really fucking annoyed

[analog stirrup]

I literally drove to the next state over to camp for a gpu, took my cousins RV and everything

[green breach]

Screen tears I hate so much. That's why I spent the extra doe for freesync/gsync. Worth every penny.

[sour ginkgo]

Was it worth it

[analog stirrup]

yeah, it was i brought my brother and some friends, we had fun

[solar tinsel]

That's not ***quite ***true, it's a bit more complicated than "your eyes have an FPS limit"

[fossil trench]

Man all for one PC part

Ridiculous

[sour ginkgo]

Insane

[green breach]

GPU was hard to get. CPU wasn't too bad

[brittle forge]

My PS5 was harder to get than the 3080 I had to set up discord bots for alerts and sign up for stuff like Octoshop and stockinformer for that shit

[green breach]

However Taiwan is building another factory or something to increase production

[glad mulch]

I never saw a screen in my life that was more than 60 fps.

[brittle forge]

Based True China

[cosmic radish]

Everything below 70 fps is laggy

[green breach]

@brittle forge that's weird. GPUs should be hardest to get cause Nvidia makes money on the hardware. They don't care about scalpers.

[solar tinsel]

Ha they do exist, although a large majority are probably 60Hz

[fast wave]

120 fps looks like the sweet spot

[fossil trench]

The chip factories literally take ~5 years to build

[craggy marten]

What is 0:00 from local time? 12AM?

[fossil trench]

So uhh

[brittle forge]

Like I said I think it’s because I got my 3080 with the pre-built rather than trying to get it off of the market

[cosmic radish]

1440/144 fps sweet spot

[green breach]

@fossil trench I know which is why we will have shortages for 5 years.

This won't go away for awhile unless Taiwan gets some rain.

[glad mulch]

Although I have the ability to see 120hz. Just don’t have the tv/monitor for it

[solar tinsel]

Although to your point @fossil trench about people not recognizing frame rates, there are people who genuinely can't tell the difference between 30 and 60 sometimes (although I think it's fairly easy).

I had people call me an idiot/moron for pointing out that the official reveal trailer back when was only 30fps

[fossil trench]

I still don’t understand wtf is up with production. Just a backlog?

[solar tinsel]

Calling me wrong, "moron don't you see it says 1080p60?"

That made me chuckle and realize that sometimes people truly don't pick up on framerates

[green breach]

Hey PSN what's your PSN lol

[brittle forge]

Running out of material to make chips with, what's used to make them is are fairly rare elements

[fossil trench]

The letters after PSN

[green breach]

Mainly water

They running out of

You know how we can advance space tech immensely? Mine asteroids.

[proven chasm]

less than 4 days wow we made it

[fossil trench]

Yeah well good luck because even Elon Musk isn’t able to do that

Probably won’t see it in the foreseeable future

[green breach]

We will see it within our lifetime.

Maby not at huge levels

[brittle forge]

For real. Getting there is tough though

[tame cobalt]

how tf did bfbc2 and bf3 release a year apart

[green breach]

But if we run out of something on earth. We got no choice but to farm.asteroids.

[solar tinsel]

ha sometimes I don't get it either

[fossil trench]

But yeah, astroid mining would break the economy. Some astroids are worth more than the US’s entire historical GDP combined

[green breach]

Get Bruce Willis to mine the asteroids.

[fossil trench]

And many, many times over that

[solar tinsel]

@tame cobalt I also still can't get over the fact that BF2's later DLCs and BF2142 released in the same year

I played em at launch, but it didn't feel so close in retrospect

[tame cobalt]

maybe it's from ea's peak of overworking their employees

[solar tinsel]

perhaps!

[green breach]

Which game company doesn't overwork their employees

[tame cobalt]

EA

Today

[fossil trench]

Yeah BF did yearly releases until BF3

[solar tinsel]

Insomniac is pretty good about not doing that stuff from what I hear

[nova idol]

Bungie

[pseudo harness]

Indie devs

[green breach]

Valve

[fossil trench]

None

[normal zenith]

No mans sky…

[tame cobalt]

Well, aside from crunch time near launch which happens almost everywhere in tech

[nova idol]

Never heard of any issues from microsofts studios

[green breach]

Can someone tell him he can stop now he made NMS good already.

[fossil trench]

It happens

[nova idol]

I think a lot of PS's studios are also fine except Naughty Dog?

[fossil trench]

If there’s a due date, it happens

[solar tinsel]

Yeah I get a sense first party like MS and SIE are probably a touch bit better, but I bet it still happens to an extent

[fossil trench]

Literally part of the industry

[pseudo harness]

I have heard that 343 often hires tons of contractors. So they get no benefits

[green breach]

Crunch time a bit different than overworking all the time.

[solar tinsel]

My guess is third parties just want to pump out AS MUCH as possible

[fossil trench]

That’s why game critics are stupid af

[solar tinsel]

where as the first party studios are ok with spending a bit more time for quality

[green breach]

All game companies nwill have crunch time.

Unavoidable

[nova idol]

Well theres a difference between contracting someone and outright overworking them

[severe lark]

GUYS HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEW PORTAL GAMEPLAY HOLY SH*T 4 DAYS LEFT LETS GOOOOOOO

[tame cobalt]

EA used to be genuinely awful to work, but then it became public and they did a 180

[pseudo harness]

I agree

[fossil trench]

Hey don’t tell the game journalists or anything

[solar tinsel]

I honestly like Insomniac's approach of slightly smaller games as a way to help.

Spider-Man Miles Morales and the new Ratchet and Clank games were phenominal, even if they were shorter than many

[fossil trench]

It’s a meme

[solar tinsel]

some games are so bloated these days

[nova idol]

Epic Games infamously overworks the fortnite devs to get shit out on time
