great card game

invincible jar jar loop

[charred badge]

I always thouhht the most interesting thing about the game is how it handles random number draws- "destiny"
Where stronger cards are worth lower destiny, punishing players for overloading on high power cards

@cerulean kite i die a lot in the chaos arenas but only after i complete the round lol

I bought American Truck Simulator this year at game sales

[austere lance]

They did a "remake" and charged $70 for it

[dry dirge]

"pirate themed walking simulator" and with that, you have proved you haven't played this game

[dry copper]

I wonder if I get to become a trucker serial killer

[austere lance]

Better graphics and enemy AI and some accessibility options

[dry dirge]

imo euro truck simulator is better

[dry copper]

Euro Truck Simulator is a great game.

[dry dirge]

then you were playing it wrong 😠 😠 😠 :angry

[dry copper]

Euro Truck made me consider getting a steering wheel for my PC just to feel vroom vroom

like you can shoot cannons and shit

[dry copper]

https://tenor.com/view/deeznuts-gotem-deez-nuts-gottem-gif-4649117

[austere lance]

No no, answer the question. If you say you hit PL at release but are talking shit about the current state of the game you're a moron with an invalid opinion. As someone who's been playing it on and off since the alpha, it's a completely different game than it was at release

There weren't even AI ships back then, ffs

[dry copper]

Wow. That came off harsh. I get the distinct impression there's no love lost in piracy

[austere lance]

Have you played since y1

[dry dirge]

i spent like an hour with my friend trying to shoot ourselves on to the top of the mountain in the volcano outpost

[dry copper]

I thought it was against pirate rules to have women and boys on a ship.

Why did they have cabin boys if that wasn't allowed?

[austere lance]

Well yeah, cuz as far as I'm aware they stopped playing at y1 and are bitching about the current state of something they haven't even experienced for themselves

[dry dirge]

pirates were secksist????

[dry copper]

The rule was to prevent sailors from fighting over people

IE-Women

The dudes fight over women not getting any ass on the sea for months

[dry dirge]

i sadly uninstalled SoT, i needed the hard drive space 😔

sot is actually the only game i have ever bought premium currency, my birb is cute but i kinda regret it

[austere lance]

They do Adventures now instead of Tall Tales, lol. And the Adventures cover story arcs that change the game itself. Golden Sands outpost got completely wiped off the map and was a smoking ruin for a while and it only came back after a giant faction war between players decided its fate

[dry dirge]

woah, that happened? i thought they just called it "new" for no reason lmao

[austere lance]

Yeah, there was a week long war between Reaper players and everyone else during an adventure and the non-Reapers won so Golden Sands got rebuilt. No idea what would have happened if Reapers one, but it was close iirc

i've developed a new strategy in daggerfall, i spam fireballs into their face and get my magicka back with spell absorption

also, how does a fireball work underwater?

[dry copper]

Oh wow. I'm horrible. I have wasted SO MUCH JUNK

I had not even realized all the junk I was transferring all over the commonwealth at various stations was not going to my overall base

Because in 76, it does automatically

Plus the camera crew has to work really hard to not make him look short

Thought this was firefall the way you were flying around like a crazy person

Fireballs are usually explosions rather than burning fire, so probably really well... given how pressure waves work

Firefall is a game

it deals fire damage though

I don't imagine it would do cold damage

[gilded totem]

Having wayy too much fun with this game lately (Age of Barbarian)

[dry copper]

It's an adult game.

Based on the steam page...it looks jank af

It's funny. The advertisements claim it has an epic story but it's trailers don't do shit to promote it.

I do like the combat has dodge, evade, block and counter attack mechanics.

I hate the Quicktime events

Better wake up or your booty gunna get plundered!!

That's one of the quicktime events advertised in the promotional material

probably be good for elden ring for things to get twisted up

fromsoft is very bad at patching

on launch i could play game fine and now it’s unplayable

it took them a very long time to get ds3 back up

and bloodborne was never taken care of period

fromsoft is very good at making games, very bad at maintaining games

[coarse swift]

cough
Dark Souls Remastered

Just take DS1, apply DSFix, and resell it

Nobody will notice

[dreamy zinc]

I will, still shitty kb and m controls

I know someone who played thru with only a keyboard

Well it probably as fun as flying in gta 5 with kb and m

Why am I

The wrong server

Talking about sea of thieves things. Last place I was when I had discord open was that server. I opened discord expecting it to be where I left it lmao

I'm not gonna leave
Just randomly saying I'm having soul do a voyage for me without context seemed a bit out of place in a server for a different game

I mean it *is" other games

Just was expecting to open the app in the place it was when I closed it

Idk about other people but I spend more time sailing a ship than walking

Lol

Pondie yeah
Fishing is fun

I like the moonsky ones best. The ones that glow purple

I actually kind of like any of the glowing fish

Ahhh gotcha

The reaper on the map left. Hurrah

Sometimes people just suck
About half the times I've been sank I was parked and on an island

[full magnet]

that how it be

[daring spear]

Once was because I had the pride flag. That was stupid. I only know cuz they put "don't be gay" in the game chat immediately after

I accidentally ate a cooked stormfish I found in a wreck lmao

[full magnet]

if you play on pc fly proudly because most of the phobes are usually console

and you can swordchamp on them easily

homophobes

im sorry what

phobe means fear?????????????????????????

arachnoPHOBia

we're talking about a pirate game, also??????

[tame cairn]

i think hes confused cus you said this like

but no she didnt mean that

[coarse swift]

O boy, this is a loaded conversation

[full magnet]

im not getting into this

this is HELLA loaded

we're talking about video game pirates

not religion

so anyway

[tame cairn]

back to sea of thieves

[tame cairn]

i wonder why

[full magnet]

always fly the pride flag cause the ones who hunt you down are little edgy console kids who can't swordchamp because their tiny little hands are glued to controllers

i did

[tame cairn]

dave

[full magnet]

and phobes have nothing to do with religion

so moving on

[coarse swift]

Drop it doesn't mean "go for the last word"

Shouldnt tho, drop it like you said.

[full magnet]

so yeah

i dont think you can do this on controller, but on mouse controls you can hold start charing a sword attack then hold block, and you move around quickly while still charging

and its easier to control because you're on mouse

[daring spear]

Anyway. I'm finally, after all these years, working my way toward pirate legend

[full magnet]

so you can slam on those console kids

[tame cairn]

has anyone played immortals fenyx rising?

[full magnet]

i looked at it

didn't look that appealing to me

but i see why other people would like it

[tame cairn]

i am playing it for the first time aince it was added to gamepass

the only thing that is really similar is the climbing

the fact you have stamina

[coarse swift]

Is there a sword?

[full magnet]

theres no sword in zelda smh

[coarse swift]

[tame cairn]

i mean if we’re going by swords…

[full magnet]

no ones being political

we're talking about video games

so anyway

[daring spear]

Shadow of the Colossus used your stamina when climbing
Idk if BotW has its own stamina bar for climbing or if it uses your already existing stamina bar though

[full magnet]

sotc SUCH a good game

obv

[daring spear]

You can if you want

shadow of the colossus, as mentioned in the comment directly above

[daring spear]

I dunno. I never actually got to play it, I just watched my friend play it forever ago

[full magnet]

AAAAAA you need to play it

it's such a good experience

[daring spear]

I think I have the disk but I don't currently have a ps2 to play it with

[full magnet]

damn big rip

my ps2 can barely play ps2 games

there's a lot of games it just doesn't agree with

like i can't replay half-life

i even went and bought a second copy to make sure and nah it just hates some games

ff9 disc 3 was another one

[daring spear]

Argh why my shipwreck not spawn. I can't finish the voyage if the shipwreck doesn't spawn

[full magnet]

i kinda wanna get back into sot

but i always get stuck with randos

[daring spear]

Can you

[full magnet]

[daring spear]

It can work if there's still the book from the ship, in the water. And usually only a server merge does this

[full magnet]

is this that new custom ship stuff

the log

[daring spear]

It's just a shipwreck merchant voyage, I think there's always been a book for those

[full magnet]

o gotcha

[daring spear]

Oh well I could sell the Captain's key

$2500 plus emissary boost which is currently x2

Not bad at all

[full magnet]

i should atleast go back and get pirate legend

thats like the one thing i wanted cause new song

Some bugfixes will be nice, still too many T-poses and people teleporting through floors for my liking

maybe fsr support

[gilded totem]

No matter how hard they try to fix Cyberpunk, it will never be as deep or varied in gameplay as they advertised (or even planned) it to be

[snow zenith]

honestly, I wouldn't bat an eye if they'd just gave up

I played Prince of Persia when I was much too young to be playing that game and it was one of the most difficult games I've ever played. I imagine playing it when I'm not like 8, it might be a little easier lol

I think it was Prince of Persia: Sands of Time

Time manipulation was a huge part of the game.

I am the worst at this game (fo4). I'll pick a quest. I'll sit down a moment, get my shit together, pick a companion to come with and get on my way. I'm the kind of moron that doesn't fast travel so it's an adventure every time just GETTING to the point. I started a quest two days ago (TWO DAYS) that I still have not completed, to retrieve a rifle, because I keep getting side tracked

Last night I was like....OKAY, dedicated to rifle retrieval!...Then ended up clearing a bandit hold in boston

It doesn't help my robot companion is a lunatic who will engage in fights the moment it sees an opportunity, EVEN if I'm crouched sneaking

Appears the robot can't sneak

parkour all day erryday

I got annoyed at the enemies eventually, interrupting the parkour puzzles, lol

Yes it was so fun. Having to slow time to slide under a door before it closed, taking a leap of faith hoping to catch the drapes with your sword, and rewinding time moments before you fall to your death was all so fun

[dry dirge]

even though i think skyrim is better than morrowind (don't cancel me plz), its really stupid that they got rid of spells and skills from the previous games

there is NO reason for there not to be spears

I found the youngest brother's body under his bed, couldn't find the other brother or wayne...and today I found bonnie's msg at the hospital for wayne.

Said she was coming to get them because she had a way out of the commonwealth....I hate this story isn't actually told...but has to be discovered through digging

nice, i really enjoyed flipper on game pass, been considering getting the full game with dlcs

You play the role of a nosey little wooden doll

I like that they have Jiminy Cricket in Lies of P

[austere lance]

That article is stupid, lol. Phil Spencer has said multiple times that CoD, Overwatch, and Diablo will still be multi-platform

[idle saffron]

Who cares if it isn't

Fucking Sony is keeping HZD and God of War and Spiderman off the Xbox

So screw em

That's the way capitalism works

[thorn dawn]

Sony don't have a monopoly over desktop operating systems and a criminal record though

[idle saffron]

As a gamer, I want these companies to compete and try for exclusives - making everything a level playing field leads to lack of innovation.

[thorn dawn]

And fwiw, I don't think Sony should be buying up all the stuff they have been either

[idle saffron]

I'd be worried if there weren't 10 million game devs

[thorn dawn]

Keep in mind what they say to the regulators and what they say to consumers aren't the same thing. Their filing said COD et al were essentially shovelware that no one would miss.

[idle saffron]

I'm going to file against EA for having a monopoly on American football games

[thorn dawn]

Having a monopoly isn't illegal, leveraging that monopoly in other sectors is

[idle saffron]

I want to make one, but they have the contract preventing me from my mobile dream football game

[thorn dawn]

Or can be, is more accurate

[idle saffron]

They all need to talk less, and make more games

Make good games, gamers buy your games

Ez pz

[shadow tartan]

Did you not read the FT article where Satya laid down some facts?

You have to pay for FT...

But I doubt they would not release games on a huge platform like PS

Especially things like Overwatch and Diablo

Kinda silly considering he admits himself that PS sells more units

[idle saffron]

I find it unlikely ps5 sells more units to actual gamers than Xbox does

[shadow tartan]

Maybe

But even the CEO of Microsoft knows the score

It's hard to take others seriously when Satya Nadella is saying something

Whether people like MS or not they got a brown guy to be the boss and improve it

1-0

[idle saffron]

Lol

[shadow tartan]

IBM, Microsoft, Alphabet

List goes on

And they talk bluntly

[sturdy pendant]

"Actual gamers" Meaning what? Do I smell elitism?

[shadow tartan]

You'd also run into a lot of issues by becoming too exclusive, people walk out over that

[idle saffron]

As in not scalpers, chill out

[sturdy pendant]

I don't need to chill out, thanks. It was just a question.

[idle saffron]

It's the name again

[shadow tartan]

I scalp you @idle saffron @idle saffron

Yeah fkn privileged wanker

Down with Gleam!

[idle saffron]

Could have left of the elitism

[sturdy pendant]

Thanks I'll consider it next time

[shadow tartan]

[shadow tartan]

God of War Ragnarok though

Need that shit

[idle saffron]

Yes please

[sleek cloud]

never played a GoW game

[sturdy pendant]

They're milking the Nords in every possible platform lately.

[sleek cloud]

might get the PC version

[sturdy pendant]

I hope it doesn't grow too old at some point

[shadow tartan]

Good

Milk the Nords

Get their milk and make me cheese

[sturdy pendant]

Are you bullying me

[shadow tartan]

No I just want cheese

Where's the bloody cheese!

[sturdy pendant]

Nord milk cheese?

[shadow tartan]

Nord curds

[sturdy pendant]

Ok I'm out you win

@idle saffron you today

I'm only reading the sides of food packaging now

[sturdy pendant]

Do you have a condition or something?

[shadow tartan]

No

[idle saffron]

Not officially diagnosed buuuut

[sturdy pendant]

No I meant why read sides of food packages, I assumed for ingredient list 😅

Unless they're otherwise interesting, not gonna judge

[silver sparrow]

i'm taking a second look at warframe

[sturdy pendant]

I should take first sometime

[idle saffron]

It's fun, but can feel overwhelming at the start, there is a ton of stuff

[sturdy pendant]

I've had it installed at least 2 years.

Destiny 2 almost as long. Never played either 😅

[quaint escarp]

destiny 2 was good i just never got into it bc its a time sink to get to the good stuff

and or dlcs that u have to pay for

[idle saffron]

I don't like that to feel competitive in multiplayer you don't have many options, have to follow the various builds or get wrecked by anyone decent

[quaint escarp]

yeah meta exists in most games

[idle saffron]

You get a bajillion weapons, but only a few will be viable

[dreamy zinc]

Me always playing fun build still beating people that ran meta builds.

Meta build only work if you know how to play em

[idle saffron]

That's why I said decent :p

[sturdy pendant]

Destiny 2 is more multiplayer?

[thorn dawn]

Imagine paying for print media

[sturdy pendant]

I mean I knew it was gonna be a lot more co-op than first one, but was hoping for SP too

[idle saffron]

It's highly multiplayer, but PvP is a different mode

You can rock solo through it

[sturdy pendant]

Yeah I don't dig pvp on destiny

[idle saffron]

Won't be doing raids probably

[sturdy pendant]

Should get first one somehwere and play that

I had it on playstation forever ago, played a lot

[quaint escarp]

i got my looter shooter in borderlands

ik they stopped cutting old content for lightfall but buying past dlcs then devs just remove stuff that u paid for is really scuffed

[snow zenith]

Lightfall being cyberpunkian was not at all what I expected

[shadow tartan]

On the interwebs

I was sure I posted here for the numptys

[silver sparrow]

you rang?

[broken prairie]

Destiny 2s pve play is fun, but progression is rolling the same weapon until you get the perks you need, and theres 1 correct variation per gun, that and the fact they have dlc that cost as much as full games and also remove said content later kinda kills it for me. I feel like warframe is just better because the gameplay is still fun and almost every gun can work, no one cares about pvp, the game is probably grindier but every time you get an item it feels like you progressed

[shadow tartan]

Ya big ol' ding dong

@idle saffron I am happy that people enjoy games

Saw some pics from mates that were at Gamescom and it's really sweet

[idle saffron]

I'll bet they had a great time

[silver sparrow]

not the beginning of the bell but the other side of it

[shadow tartan]

Ah

The bell END

I see I see

[silver sparrow]

you've sussed it

Stressing over preparing stuff for weeks and it's over in few days

WHAT GAME IS THIS ?????

[primal loom]

Mass Effect Andromeda

Oh 👀👀👀👍👍👍

Looks incredible

[winter yew]

[primal loom]

Lol it's good fun

[winter yew]

Looks like it 👀🔥👍

[primal loom]

Flamethrower go brrrr

[silver sparrow]

i have andormeder i think

i want to say i didn't finish it

[primal loom]

I only recently got around to playing but I've had it for years

Too many games 🥲

It's rough around the edges in some ways but I still enjoy it

[silver sparrow]

i'm still looking for an open world 3rd person looter 🙂

[primal loom]

I think the last open world 3rd person looters I played were The Division 1 and 2

Some crazy environment design artwork in those games

Half the reason I play any game is to take in the scenery lol

The screenshot folders must grow

[silver sparrow]

and the spice must flow

i have put a number of hours into d1 and d2

watchdogs 2
ghost recon wildlands and pointbreak

[tame cairn]

i saw someone mention slide canceling, it was also in bo3

i loved sliding around the entire map

[coarse swift]

As good as ME:A looks, I sure do still regret pre ordering

[dreamy zinc]

Div1 is was nice

Div 2 felt like it was 'over' already. No mo pressure

But both game are great for screenshots

[torpid lynx]

“Shitballs!”

[dreamy zinc]

Remember: "No pre-orders"

[silver sparrow]

"Now you're just showing off"

[dreamy zinc]

I haven't pre-ordered in ages

Ea doesn't count as its usually a fraction of the price

(bought bannerlord for like 20€ in ea)

[torpid lynx]

There sure are a lot of lights and switches up here

[coarse swift]

Yea that and Axiom Verge 2 were the last time I pre ordered stuff

[dreamy zinc]

Red dead 2 i did pre order

Didn't regret

[coarse swift]

Knew I should've waited a few days on AV2 but I had faith itd be good because of the first game

[dreamy zinc]

Well... Looks at Breakpoint when it came out

Wildlands was great

But Breakpoint is great too now

Still think they should make the ai a bit more 'realistic'

[long thistle]

No, dying light 2

[dreamy zinc]

How's dl2 btw

Think its on sale rn

-40%

[coarse swift]

This not pre ordering thing tho or not buying games till we know more thing

Hurts when I'm trying to also play some games without spoiling too much

[dreamy zinc]

Why i watch acg

Basically in depth spoiler free reviews

[long thistle]

Yeah until the 6th

I think the new update comes around then

[dreamy zinc]

Kinda wanna get it but also still got tons of other great games

So will pospone

[coarse swift]

As an example

Valfaris

I bought that trying not to spoiler anything

[long thistle]

Yeah dl2 is one of those games where the older it gets, the greater game it is

They’re doing 5 years of future content

[coarse swift]

I expected a metroidvania heavy metal shooter
It definitely had the "vania" part, but it was more a Rondo of Blood than Symphony of the Night

Level based and linear

I do like linear/level-based games, but it really depends. The moods gotta strike me

Doom is one I enjoyed a lot, not Eternal tho

[torpid lynx]

Doom Eternally triggering the QTE mechanic

[coarse swift]

I didn't mind the glory kills too much tbh, especially when I can turn off the highlight, but making half of the gameplay rotation revolve around it was awful

The entire sell for me on Doom Eternal was the whole "Doom universe" they were pitching. Made it sound like thered be a lot of exposition, I got very interested

[snow zenith]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K34gI5oe03c

[dry dirge]

didn't 2016 also have glory kills?

[torpid lynx]

It did but wasn’t as focused

[dry dirge]

huh

i never played 2016, but i really enjoyed eternal

never finished it tho

[coarse swift]

2016 had glory kills yes, but as Acey said it wasn't a focus. In Eternal, glory kills are almost completely necessary just to keep getting health and ammo
In 2016, health and ammo is placed around the map like a standard doom game is, but you can still do glory kills to replenish. Standard glory kills for health, chainsaw for ammo, iirc.

[dry dirge]

huh

i liked the glory kills, especcialy with the rune that made them faster and the other rune that makes the range longer

[dry dirge]

wow, so useful

[snow zenith]

perfectly balanced

[glass plinth]

I see why people compared the new LOTR show on amazing to cutscenes now

Im actually really quite surprised how close to the source material they kept everything

[glass plinth]

Well at least geographically, culturally and such. Im ignoring the 2 glaring issues people are raging about.

[dry dirge]

1. theres a new LOTR show?
2. what issues?

[glass plinth]

Agaist chat policy to mention them

Lord of the Rings- Rings of Power

[glass plinth]

Generally speaking, Im finding people are having issue with societal aspects, cultural portrayals, sexual diamorphics and so on. The producers definitely made a few choices, like beards not being on females and another issue I wont mention which were questionable.

However, that being said, from a lore standpoint, beyond those two points, they really did a amazing job.

Galadriel being such a bad ass was truly nice to see. We knew from some of Tolkiens writings who she was a youth and she most certainly was a warrior.

The whole physical power of female elves being nearly the same as male was a interesting aspect of the species.

In one case, a female elf carried a stone attached to her by a chain, for nigh on 3 days, and it weighted almost her weight.

That was high elves. Im not sure with the Sylvans and such.

[dry dirge]

uh oh

[glass plinth]

I can dm the jist if you want what people have issues with

[coarse swift]

Lil weird tho that she's supposed to be a sorceress and yet a few thousand years in there's not much magic happening

[charred badge]

Where is it?

[dry dirge]

nah, thanks for the offer tho

[glass plinth]

We really dont have much idea what kind of magic she used. We knew she had lessons from Aule, so he was a craftsmen

We know she had the mirror, much later on.

Magic wise, spells and such, she didn't seem to use magic until late second age

So it sorta makes sense she didnt use much in the show

They definitely will have to sort out her marriage , im not sure when shes married, but tis close to the events int he show

[sturdy pendant]

I'm not going to watch the LOTR show in at least a few years. I hate how the political atmosphere ruins most shows when everyone basically makes it somehow about the disaster going on in the US. It's getting really tiresome.

[dry copper]

Honestly, I haven't seen that and you might consider hanging out with a less toxic bunch if "everyone" is having that prevailing an impact on your ability to enjoy it. I haven't watched the show yet, but only because I'm not a fan of the subject matter (fantasy).

Though I really enjoyed "Pans Labyrinth", for its ability to make a theme typically carried by children's story authors and make it feel adult, without wasting time on sexualization to skip the ratings line. Without cutting corners, it told a story of hope, despair, agony, loss and gave a place for magic in a world whether you believed in it or not.

The best part is that the story didn't require the magic. It was fine without it. One might be forgiven for thinking the child had an over-active imagination and the story could unfold all the same.

It doesn't even hit you that this is not a childrens story until a scene coming right out of left field with a bottle, happens.

[sturdy pendant]

I saw the mention of that about LOTR in this chat :) But others shows have that happening all over the internet.

Like Sandman etc.

[quaint escarp]

why watch shows to ruin it by looking online for politically charged discussions

[sturdy pendant]

I'm not looking for those, they're kinda around randomly.

I loved Sandman myself, luckily saw the stupid convos about it way later.

[quaint escarp]

only place ive seen lotr discussion is in here, havent really searched or seen anything outside of here

just sounds like a bad time ruining a show u want to watch by checking out what people said about it

ill prob watch the show later on i still have to watch the main movies

[dry copper]

Imagine if Tolkien was like..."Ah man, I don't wanna read that Volsunga Saga because of how charged politically religion is right now in in the 1800s"

[sturdy pendant]

I never said I'm not gonna watch it.

I do what I always do, even if shows are hyped to be the best ever, I wait and watch it later and like it for what it is.

If this somehow insults you, I can't help you.

[dry copper]

I didn't say it insults me, but you're not doing yourself any favors framing the show by the opinions of others - Especially if its something you enjoy.

You eat that ice cream

Fuck everyone else

[sturdy pendant]

It's been here, around places like imgur (there mostly shared like "lol these people) and a couple people on other servers have been like "with everything I hear about the show I don't think I'm gonna like it." So I'm just gonna wait and watch it later.

[dry copper]

Neapolitan is a legitimate flavor!!

[sturdy pendant]

I'm allergic to hype, negative and positive, and I awknowledge this and wait it out. Why is this a problem for you?

You can watch or not watch the show all you want.

[dry copper]

Is it hype tho?

Sounds to me like bunch of people talking shit.

[sturdy pendant]

I'm not even the one who in this chat only a little earlier talked about the issues of the show.

[dry copper]

Dunno. Wasn't here.

[sturdy pendant]

I only commented that because of talks like the one in this chat I'm just gonna wait it out.

[quaint escarp]

thats fair

[dry copper]

yeah

[quaint escarp]

but it sucks u have to wait when u could watch it now

[sturdy pendant]

And then I kinda feel like I all of a sudden have to be defending myself, lol.

[dry copper]

DEFEND YOURSELF FROM THESE HUGS!

[sturdy pendant]

I could always just never be anywhere where people are, ever :D But that'd suck for me.

[quaint escarp]

i wasnt attacking u i was just mentioning it that its a shame that u cant enjoy it now bc of others

[dry copper]

Last year I was looking forward to a MP batman arkhamy game. This year...Less so.

The way it's being rolled out feels like advertising diarrhea

Gives me concern as to how stable the release will be

I'm expecting a buggy glitchy mess like Dying Light's MP experience

[sturdy pendant]

I'm mostly looking forward to Ark2.

[quaint escarp]

having vin diesel as their mascot instantly turned me off the game

[dry copper]

But it's FAMILY

I like Vin Deisel. He's like cheap beer and I'm a cheap date.

[sturdy pendant]

His not that much their mascot, as someone who loved playing the game, wanted to save it and started to fund/produce the new one.

And the only reason there is even going to be Ark2 is because the first one is unfixable and it's easier to just make it anew.

[dry copper]

Vin doesn't take himself seriously and he'll be the first person to instruct others not to, either.

[quaint escarp]

i dont really like him and when u promote ur game with his face it really doesnt make me want to play it bc now ill associate the game with him

[sturdy pendant]

I love the aspect that he's a gamer and loved the game so much. And it probably makes him giddy af to be a big face in the game.

[dry copper]

I think if Vin had decided not to do so many furious movies, he wouldn't be so ...catchphrase

He's pigeon holing his career.

[sturdy pendant]

I have to separate a lot of things I like from the people making them. These days it's only a matter of time before yet another one of your favorite actor turns out to be a horrible douche, abuser and/or pedo.

[quaint escarp]

see if they got henry cavill i would be all over that game

[sturdy pendant]

Henry Cavill would be a huge no no to me :D

Just because of what kind of a person he is. One of the cases I couldn't prevent my attitude from changing.

[dry copper]

On the plus side Kevin Spacey gets got in Baby Driver.

[wispy rapids]

This song came up on my Pandora and it had me laughing pretty hard. I looked it up on YouTube and the video makes it even better 🤣

https://youtu.be/3fHl9bxVT58

[dry copper]

The spacey trials are set for next june

He's charged with four counts of sexual assault in the UK

[sturdy pendant]

Yeah I've seen mentions of that.

LAtest one for me was Hyde from That 70's Show. Not that I liked him in it specifically, but I did watch the show at the time and it's been just more to the pile of people that seems soon to be like "it's everyone of them" -.-

[dry copper]

I don't know who thought it wise to take this to trial. They either have VERY compelling evidence (beyond testimony) or they're going to be destroyed by Spaceys attorney

[wispy rapids]

It is heartbreaking when an actor/producer/musician turns out to be a giant pos

looking at you Terrance Zdunich 😡

[sturdy pendant]

Yeah it is.

[dry copper]

Imagine how many people were like...."What, I'm not allowed to like R.Kelly music anymore?"

[sturdy pendant]

And on the other side of the coin, all those vanishing actors that just quit acting, didn't always quit acting but were blacklisted and smeared in some cases, cause they tried to be against the systematical abuse.

[dry copper]

Corey Hart

[sturdy pendant]

Brendan Fraser, Courtney Love

[dry copper]

Was it corey hart? I can't remember

Corey something

Corey Feldman

and Corey Haim

[sturdy pendant]

I've even been doubtful about the.. Who was she that acted in the first Transformers? That supposedly called a director a Nazi and got cancelled from Hollywood entirely. I believed it at the time but I'm not so sure anymore.

[dry copper]

Jennifer Connely?

[sturdy pendant]

Noooo.

Lemme Google it.

Megan Fox.

[dry copper]

Ah.

Jennifer had the badass brunette look way before her

[sturdy pendant]

Seems like so many actresses are just painted as "divas and hard to work with" and cancelled and blacklisted, when in reality they refuse to be assaulted.

So really hard to know about anything anymore.

[dry copper]

I can see Megan calling Spielberg a nazi, half-hazardly, mocking his conduct and attitude toward actor and acting in general

Not nazi for its semitic elements

She's in the same age bracket where Nazi is used to describe people who are excessively overbearing

[sturdy pendant]

I find it hard to believe anymore, that that single comment killed her entire career. But I mean, it's Hollywood. People like Spielberg do have the power.

[dry copper]

Spielberg does have a lot of reach and he's jewish so...that probably would have carried

[sturdy pendant]

Yeah, we use that a lot. Even a "grammar nazi" is a term here used commonly and no one flinches. But the whole thing is very different specially in America.

I got once kicked from a server when they started making Nazi jokes on voice, like really crude kind. I just pointed out, never even mentioning the word Nazi, that not all German soldiers were evil though, and I got kicked out because of it.

I knew it was an excuse, because one of the mods there didn't like me on a personal level.

[quaint escarp]

i dont think her career was killed she acted in tmnt

[dry copper]

To be fair she's acting even now, but her career no doubt took a hit, BUT, at the same time it's hard to say it was the spielberg thing and not the shitty transformers.

[sturdy pendant]

Kinda small roles though. She was one of the big names at the time.

[idle saffron]

Cause she isn't that good an actress maybe

[dry copper]

I really like that she joined the expendables crew

[sturdy pendant]

When has that stopped anyone in Hollywood

[dry copper]

She's in post-production for Expendables 4

You can't tell me that wasn't on-the-nose

[quaint escarp]

u could say shia lebeouf fell off too on that train of thought

[sturdy pendant]

I feel like Shia chose another path

Became more of an activist

[dry copper]

Shia the beef is a terrifying monster.

[sturdy pendant]

He's done some interesting art stuff

[dry copper]

I can't get the shia lebeouf forest serial killer music video out of my head

[sturdy pendant]

He did some art project here in my country some years ago.

I'm not entirely familiar with it, he cooped up in a cabin up North or something.

https://www.helsinkitimes.fi/149-finland/14694-shia-labeouf-is-currently-alone-for-one-month-in-a-remote-lapland-cabin.html Yeah, this one.

[dry copper]

I think shia has some issues with identity.

...but I'm glad he's relatively okay.

[sturdy pendant]

I liked him in Sia's music video. Or just liked the music video, idk if it was because of him but he at least did it well.

[dry copper]

He did Honey Boy and that was awesome

Or no it wasn't honey boy I'm thinking...

The Peanut Butter Falcon!

Fucking weird names for movies

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNl9RqjLCwc

The movie did a good job of illustrating to the general public a serious issue in the actors guild, with disabled actors getting very little representation.

[sturdy pendant]

I might have to check that out.

I personally am really happy how much diversity we are getting, even if the backlash around it is not pretty. Poc, trans, gender diversity, disabilities, body diversity, all of it. All of it has been so good.

Like just.. Makes everything so much more real and interesting.

[dry copper]

"Rule number one: Don't slow me down"
ten minutes later
"Hey! What's rule number one!?"
-Answer: "Party..."

[willow crypt]

good movie

Shia is a great actor

Megan, on the other hand….

[dry copper]

You know who a real great actor is
Willem Dafoe

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGjpu-2gqwI

That they were able to do these scenes in American Psycho were entirely because of his incredible range

[sturdy pendant]

Hollywood isn't exactly known for hiring women for their acting talents.

[dry copper]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR9_IiRykIs

[sturdy pendant]

This is why I love Netflix and such, apart from some of the issues with them, they do give space to actual talent outside the status quo created by Hollywood, in men and women.

And well, everyone.

[quaint escarp]

no quidditch in hogwarts legacy

[dry copper]

Hats. I'm only playing for Hats.

[quaint escarp]

how do u have a hogwarts rpg but not have quidditch

[dry copper]

With the delete button

[sturdy pendant]

You'd think it's not that difficult to execute.

[quaint escarp]

thing is u can ride brooms in game

if u couldnt i would understand

[sturdy pendant]

Yeah.

Maybe they will add it?

Games seem to be released kinda half-finished these days.

[dry copper]

I think Division has the greatest third person camera controls of any game ever

[quaint escarp]

maybe? would be weird tho since its a singleplayer game unless they flaunt it as a dlc

[snow zenith]

Thing is, whatever Quidditch feature there is would probably be lacklustre.

[dry copper]

Quiddich dlc

[snow zenith]

Since it's (obviously) not the focus of the game.

I'm fine with it not being there tbh.

[quaint escarp]

“Quidditch is not playable in Hogwarts Legacy,” it reads. “However, broom flight for traversal and broom race challenges are part of the game. Players will also fly brooms to explore new and familiar locations surrounding Hogwarts Castle.”

[snow zenith]

I'd like a new Quidditch game tho

The old Quidditch game is kinda rough to play nowadays lol

[quaint escarp]

The Quidditch pitch was previously included in an early trailer for the game, which also featured what appeared to be a Hogwarts student in Quidditch gear.

it prob got cut

sad

[dry copper]

Probably wasn't finished in time for launch

[quaint escarp]

yeah

sucks

[snow zenith]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axcszQi6DJM

this game was the goat

when i was a kid

[dry copper]

Easier to add it later as DLC and capitalize

[quaint escarp]

make it multiplayer

[shadow tartan]

@snow zenith @winter yew
https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeSoiS2XxxA&feature=share

[quaint escarp]

would add a lot of replay value

[snow zenith]

I'm glad its not a multiplayer game tbh

Let me explore Hogwarts in peace

[quaint escarp]

i meant just the quidditch part

not the full game

[willow crypt]

yep

[willow crypt]

oh i think we have plenty of great actresses

[willow crypt]

agreed

[dry copper]

Kathy Bates

Scarlet Johansson

Natalie Portman

Viola Davis

Anne Hathaway

Amanda Seyfried is just a bottle of potential.

Wanna make a bomb? Add some Amanda Seyfried.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZBD_7x0U8w

[wispy rapids]

Yeah the "games as a service" buisness model is taking over, for sure. People expect frequent and significant updates nowadays, so it's better for devs to hold content back from the original product to have things to include in future updates.

If a year after the game is released they announce "Major content update to include Quidditch Tournaments!" they would get another wave of new purchases.

[sturdy pendant]

We do, absolutely. But even the best actresses are usually made to lose weight and then pump with silicone.

It's kinda crazy how many even natural looking smaller breasts in today's tv is actually implants.

Because when you lose all that weight, majority of people are left with basically empty sacks of skin for boobs, but it's not thought to be natural at all.

[dry copper]

DLC isn't necessarily games as a service. The two concepts should be divorced from one another for the simple case, Games as a Service has a negative connotation for its ties to rampant over commercialization and that does not always apply to DLC - Especially where it does not take away from but only adds to the value of a product.

There's no evidence to support Quidditch was ever intended to go with Hogwarts Legacy

I'm not sure I'd say games as a service is taking over. If anything it's changing forms to be more broadly and loosely defined. With the saturation of consumers in the gaming industry willing to put down less for less, the models have been shifting to services for games (IE-Gamepass, Stadia, etc)

I'd be more worried about mobile gaming at this point

Not saying there's anything inherently wrong with mobile gaming, but that it too is changing forms to be far more passive, while scooping up personal data for metrics collections.

[dry copper]

The things Christian Bale did for roles are enough to make one consider committing him to a mental hospital

https://tenor.com/view/christian-bale-machinist-gif-4985949

From The Machinist

To Bruce Wayne

In six months

[sturdy pendant]

He's said it himself, that it's become an obsession for him to go from one extreme to another.

I used to watch a lot of his movies at release and it was scary how fast he did those transformations.

Definitely not something anyone should idolize.

It was not only from Machinist to Bruce Wayne, he had a long streak where he did that change to either direction between every one of his movies for years.

[willow crypt]

i can understand why Daniel Day Louis only did like, 7 films

if i were him i’d break up the serious roles with fun ones

probably would’ve extended his career

“Space Jam 3: starring DANIEL DAY LOUIS AND CHRISTIAN BALE”

[sturdy pendant]

Then there are people like Robin Williams who tried to heal the world through being an actor and it exhausted him. And Heath Ledger who already suffered from stress and mental health issues and then went too deep into a character.

And the countless stories of female actresses we don't even know about, what they've had to tolerate to be even considered into the pool of being able to act.

[willow crypt]

mhm

[sturdy pendant]

There are so many glorified tragedies in Hollywood and we just gulp it all up like it's part of the entertainment.

[willow crypt]

for sure The lives of Hollywood stars and famous people are entertainment for the vast majority

that’s why i stay away from all that. people get too invested in the lives of famous people, relationships, etc

[sturdy pendant]

And Netflix did have a HUGE impact in it, whether you like Netflix for other reasons or not. It contested Hollywood as the only successful platform. Which has given lot of people space to bring a lot of the problems into light, because their entire career doesn't depend on it anymore.

[silver sparrow]

This is a big reason why I did not pursue acting

[dry dirge]

wha-

[coarse swift]

[dry dirge]

cyberpunk? more like SUSerpunk

🧯

[tame cairn]

looks better than the game

fr

the guys who made edgerunners made Kill la Kill

[glass plinth]

I always liked Cyberpunks art style. But thats just me

Although with mods, Ive pretty much changed its visuals a lot

Frankly with mods, I love the game, without... eh

its a game
