[tame cairn]

this trailer is great

[restive current]

This reminds me of that NFS trailer that I think I posted...made by completely non-EA people...they looked so good, almost realistic.

Makes the actual games look like shit.

[tame cairn]

2nd trailer they made but it’s more than what a lot of other companies show lol

[restive current]

Such basic shit...and they can't get it right.

[orchid fox]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMkWHdYuHVw 5 min vid but showcases he cant even load into the shit and he made a video 2 years ago @restive current so 3years total

[dreamy zinc]

Old Republic trailers are also legendary

[restive current]

IDK if you're supposed to blame executives or developers at that point...

[restive current]

Will watch all of them in line.

[tame cairn]

I want a show made with Old Republic animation whatever that is

[dreamy zinc]

Execs

Devs just want to dev

[tame cairn]

cgi

[dreamy zinc]

It's managment who tells what deves should do

Even if they don't like it

Cause they pay em

[restive current]

Nice movie.

[restive current]

But, like...take the TF2 networking fiasco, for example...how do you code such a shit networking protocol/process that it's vulnerable to take-downs like that?

[dry copper]

[restive current]

I get it's not easy or simple, but...that's the whole damn job. Development.

[dry copper]

Greatest fanmade tribute to TOR

Well, not made...edited

The song just fits that whole story

[snow zenith]

Watch Dudufilm's vids

[dry copper]

Dudu

[dreamy zinc]

that because code changes

A lot

[dry copper]

I like it already because dudu

[dreamy zinc]

so somethign could be secure 1 year ago

but is a massive hole later

[snow zenith]

Rude

[dreamy zinc]

and legacy code is especially fickle

[dreamy zinc]

har har

and TF2 is basically legacy code

[dry copper]

holy shit...fuck balls...Dudufilms are like 2 fucking hour long.

Now that's a fan

Making a fan video as long as a whole damn cinematic motion picture

Even if it was just edited

(editing takes a long damn time, done properly)

[dreamy zinc]

hmm not sure if i should go liquid or air

[dry copper]

Liquid

[dreamy zinc]

but its pricier tho

and perf is worse than air

XD

[dry copper]

Oh you're talking about cooling?

[dreamy zinc]

yes

[dry copper]

I thought you were being all philosophical

[dreamy zinc]

lol

[dry copper]

Air

[balmy plaza]

I too prefer drinking to breathing

[dry copper]

For cooling

Liquid is barely an improvement and is more catastrophic when it fails

[dreamy zinc]

yeah but they should really improve the installation on airblock tho

always a pain

[dry copper]

I cheated my cooling system by also having a floor model fan blowing on my computer to create a constant airflow in the area.

[balmy plaza]

I'm scared of modifying computers lol

[dry copper]

It doesn't blow hard. It just creates a flow

[balmy plaza]

Like 99% chance I'd break it by accident

[dry copper]

I was sweating balls when I replaced my SSD and GPU.

Take precautions and you should be fine

Make sure you power down and ground everything

[dreamy zinc]

idk never sweated

[snow zenith]

For cooling?

Yea, just go with air

[dreamy zinc]

think i will

think ill go for a no window case this time

dont look at it anyway

[dry copper]

Whoa what is this I hear about cars being removed from GTA?

[dreamy zinc]

oh

[snow zenith]

But the GPU likes to look outside the window

[dreamy zinc]

old news buddy

[dreamy zinc]

yeah but im goign for a flow case

[snow zenith]

I just feed mine ice cubes

[dreamy zinc]

fml EU prices suck tho

[snow zenith]

Why's that

[dreamy zinc]

it's not offical yet so

but im pc part picking

think ill go with the xtx compared to the 4080

the Vram on 1080ti is proof that having lots of VRAM is useful

[dry copper]

Man if I had that kinda money to burn, my credit would be so much nicer looking.

[snow zenith]

Gib

[dreamy zinc]

case will add another 200$ i think

[snow zenith]

I'll pay in installments of 1 euro per year

[dreamy zinc]

haha

[snow zenith]

So my children's children's children's children's children will finish paying

[dreamy zinc]

but thats why the price is so jacked

like that should be at least 400$ cheaper

[snow zenith]

Fuck that

[dreamy zinc]

yeah

why im waiting for buyign XD

just planning build

[dry copper]

When GTA removed all these cars, do the players get anything for the shit they just got removed from their game?

[balmy plaza]

My pc died after I changed my gpu lol

Slowly

[dreamy zinc]

they removed cars froms tore that no-one buys

but peopel with GTA+ can buy them

something like that

[dry copper]

So the cars are still in the game...just can't be purchased

[dreamy zinc]

yeah

[snow zenith]

Get an XT

[dreamy zinc]

something like that

No

[sleek cloud]

removed them for licensing issues or something ?

[dreamy zinc]

nope

they just did cause

[dry copper]

They might be trying to drum up GTA+ subs

[dreamy zinc]

https://kotaku.com/gta-online-update-removed-cars-full-list-paywall-gta-1850535019

here

[dry copper]

It's kind of dumb

[dreamy zinc]

lol

that the first car i bought

literally my fav car

XD

guess if you bought them they wont remove it

otherwise that be fucked

[snow zenith]

Ironic that GRAND THEFT AUTO fans are furious about cars they can't obtain in-game anymore

[dry copper]

I stopped playing GTA because they make you pay rent for shit.

[dreamy zinc]

but this does give me bad vibes for GTA6

[snow zenith]

My brothers and sisters in theft, literally just commit GTA

[dreamy zinc]

you cant buy cars unless you have GTA+

god

imagine that

[dreamy zinc]

i wonder if you can still steal those cars on the street and claim them like that

[dry copper]

Mutahar is losing his fucking mind on this GTA news lol

[dreamy zinc]

as that was an option for cheaper cars

[snow zenith]

Mutahar os always losing his mind, it's why he's so goddamn entertaining

[tame cairn]

gta+?

[tame cairn]

[dreamy zinc]

https://www.rockstargames.com/gta-plus

hmm

[tame cairn]

Well

[dreamy zinc]

sounds familiar this

lol

take2 is putting every check on the monetization box

there should be a site that has a monetisation box that players could check

[dry copper]

Does rockstar license new music for GTA:Online?

[dreamy zinc]

sometimes in new DLC's

[dry copper]

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

That music is epic as fuuuuuu

The rolling build up...

That beautiful crescendo

[dreamy zinc]

https://be.pcpartpicker.com/user/jackty89/saved/#view=D8rLyc

price is spicy

[orchid fox]

i stopped playing gta 5 cuz how common fucking hackers and griefers is in public lobbies

this news makes me even less inclined to return

opressor mk 2 can fucking burn in hell

[dreamy zinc]

yeah

that thing is fun to drive

but to many people just use it to grief

but thats like 80% gta community

Grief

It's why i love my insurgent

with the gun on top with someone in that it's a godly machine

[dry copper]

I've only ever used that vehicle to do the cayo perico heist

There's a part of the heist you need to go from your sub to a tower to get some shit from an office

I race there with it, get in get shit, get out and race back...Nobody can catch me

land on the sub, go inside, done

[restive current]

That's fair.

[dry copper]

This line just gets funnier and funnier the more I listen to it

Mike: I'd eat the shit out of that racoon

[dry copper]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8b_Zgyn9OU

[dry copper]

Ho-lee shit. I did not see that comin

I don't know if I like the way this game limits how long you have to address some answers, but I understand it.

and I definitely hate how unintuitive and seemingly tacked on the click targeting is for the QTE....

Quite frankly I hate the QTE as a whole

but the story is good so far...and I like the narrative shifting...

even if some of the options are hardwired into the story and it does not matter what decision you make

[tame cairn]

You should show your choices as well

I would like to see anyways

[dry copper]

Which ones? I am on season 2.

There are five choices per episode

[tame cairn]

Season 1 first

Once you’re done with Season 2, then those

[dry copper]

...That's a weird request

[tame cairn]

To see which are different from mine

[dry copper]

I tend to be a part of the minority in my decisions

[tame cairn]

Pretty much the same as mine honestly

For the most part

[dry copper]

I've only regretted one decision, really...

[tame cairn]

Which?

[dry copper]

||Wish I had not watched Carver's death. It was not consistent with the character I was building, but I chose to as a means of mockery - To let the tough guy see that tough guys lose in the end, forgetting that the deeper reflection of my opinions on forgiveness and justice are not properly reflected in the decisions you get to explore in the game.||

So my decision to feed that dog in my own mind took me out of character a bit

[tame cairn]

I see, I was definitely going with “badass little clementine” lol

[dry copper]

I did notice the writing for the first conversation between clementine and rebecca was very....suggestive

I chose to be snarky with her

Hid in the bathroom, heard some shit I shouldn't have...told her "You really should be nicer to me"

Like a true sociopath

The way the voice actor delivered that line made Clementine sound like a villain

[tame cairn]

Lol

Clementine is great

[dreamy zinc]

https://tenor.com/view/clementine-overlord-gif-25854626

and yes i know you were talkign about the walkign dead :d

[dry copper]

That character has an enormous tongue

[dreamy zinc]

ha

now that you mention it

[dry copper]

Reminded me of the anime skull made by PaperkutRob

[tame cairn]

what is this

[tame cairn]

lmao thats so good

[dreamy zinc]

OVERLORD

[tame cairn]

Ah I’ve heard of it

[austere lance]

It's a better version of Sword Art Online, lol

Much cooler main character

[dreamy zinc]

if you want better Sword Art Online jsut watch the abriged series

abriged makes the show actually good XD

[dry copper]

Apparently I'm really among the minority in deciding to leave with AJ alone.

80% of players decided anything but what I decided lol

[dreamy zinc]

AJ

?

angry joe?

[dry copper]

Sure.

Spoilers for Episode 5 TWD by Telltale

||I actually asked to leave with mike for future story reasons. Was hoping I'd bump into them again in the future and their actions would be reflected in this decision||

Curious. Is a new frontier one of the seasons?

its weird to go by season 1 and 2 and then not 3

and then the next one is just called final season

[mental rose]

I really hate System Shock right now....

[dry copper]

lies

You love it so much it hurts

[mental rose]

I spent a real world HOUR trying to solve this damn chess puzzle...
Then when I get directed to a chess calculator site, it checkmates in. Two. Turns!

Like, what??

[dreamy zinc]

welp 1 MP lobby in GTA5O and got a hacker

neat

[dry copper]

So what you're saying is you suck at chess

[dry copper]

welcome to GTAO

[dreamy zinc]

wasnt this bad before

[dry copper]

I couldn't play GTAO without a hacker in the lobby

I had to play SP online

It was annoying because to get the sp online you had to go mp and basically dump to a fresh server every time someone dropped into your session

Or rather a fresh instance

[mental rose]

That too... but that's not the point.
The point is in those moments when you run into a really hard puzzle in any game. Naturally you're gonna do your hardest to solve it.
So you spend hours, and hours and hours trying to solve it, but nothing's working.
So you look up an answer online... and you go "The solution was that simple??"

THAT is what really triggers me

[coarse swift]

I wouldnt worry about it tbh

Imo, chess against AI is bull

I prefer the psychological factor of chess against a person

[dry copper]

Ceryn's the only one here that plays chess.

[coarse swift]

This is one of those things you think but dont say

No I actually dont play chess.

I know the rules, but can't say I've actually played a serious game of chess in over a decade.

Maybe 2

[coarse swift]

Anyway I wouldnt worry about it. I'm thoroughly enjoying the stuff System Shock is throwing at me, the chess game was probably just the most annoying. Thank goodness the calc site exists

[dry copper]

The game itself gives you a site?

[coarse swift]

The ability to pull context from a conversation is a wonderful thing.

[mental rose]

Ok... sorry about the rant 😔
Bad habit of mine

[dry copper]

Context requires me to think in more than one dimension. I haven't coffee'd today and my brain is fried from yard work.

[glossy kestrel]

This is gona be a very long 4 months...

[coarse swift]

No worries, people need to rant

[mental rose]

It's bad enough they lock inventory upgrade behind that chess game

[coarse swift]

Oh yea that pocket dimension upgrade

[dry copper]

I do not like the sun today.

[coarse swift]

Should be a second one too unless you found it already

[dry copper]

Is the chess puzzle a required challenge in the game or optional?

[coarse swift]

Required if you're a completionist

This game hates me right now

3 times now its crashed trying to quickload

If I had to want one thing out of System Shock, its ADS

Feels weird that I cant right click to ADS and refine my aim

oh ffs

because its bound to middle click

WHY

[dry copper]

I can't remember playing system shock. Are the game mechanics upgraded or the same as the original in this remake?

[dreamy zinc]

every ffing update GTA rest my controls

it feels wrong but cant remember what i set them too

fml

every ffinmg time

[dry copper]

Are you playing the new GTAO update with the merryweather stuff?

[mental rose]

It's optional, but you can be compelled to do it regardless.
See those 6 slots in the bottom right of my inventory? You can miss those, if you don't do the chess part

Because I'm a hoarder in survival games... another bad habit 😅

[coarse swift]

pain, go scrap those

[dry copper]

Could be worse....I mean. They give you enough space to carry a pistol, two AR and a weird alien gun on the same body

[coarse swift]

huh

[mental rose]

Still need to find the recycler

[coarse swift]

I'm missing an upgrade

Didnt know it had a silencer

[mental rose]

Damage upgrade. From... Flight deck(?)

[coarse swift]

Thought I'd explored that completely

Hope I can still go back

I suspect I cant.

[mental rose]

I found the SMG in storage... then I went back to Flight Deck for the mod station... I think

[mental rose]

Ya mean the Laser Rapier?

[coarse swift]

Welp

Guess you should know in advance

Security is a point of no return

The door to go back is perma shut and no elevator is on the map

I really slept on those berserk patches

Stacking patches with laser rapier would've been great against the first reaver

[mental rose]

Bottom left I think is a Grenade Launcher upgrade, middle is Sparqbeam(?) and top is the SMG upgrade
I think at least...

[coarse swift]

hrm

Thought I got that one.

Its strange because I was sure I'd been making sure to grab all the upgrades

just hoping I find a recycler here

[mental rose]

I only remember for certain I ran into it at some point, but didn't have SMG yet.
Then when I found it on Storage, I went back for it.

[dreamy zinc]

gta in a nut shell: loading™️

[coarse swift]

wish I had some medkits

[dreamy zinc]

so Starfield rumor 125Gb

[dry dirge]

yeah it says so in the system requirements

[mental rose]

Starfield competing with CoD and ARK Survival Evolved on space required 😄

[languid oriole]

Considering the amount of planets, details and what not, many (including me) expected it to be larger than 125gb

unless it's also mostly procedurally generated

[coarse swift]

Well thats fucked, didn't wanna have to do a 2nd run if I wanted the rest of the achievements

Woulda been good to know there's a point of no return and no scrapper in Security

[dry copper]

@mental rose https://nextchessmove.com/

Post the chess state in the calculator and it will give you move options

[mental rose]

Yes, I already used that site to solve it

[dry copper]

Played some of TWD New Frontiers or w/e it's called...I really do not like this one.

It just swapped out the story I was vested in, and threw me a whole bunch of irredeemable people whose problems are surface level stupid and gives me even shallower response options.

It feels almost like Telltale didn't even make this

[mental rose]

@coarse swift SMG or Assault Rifle?

Can only really fit one or the other

Actually... I think I can toss Magpulse now that I got the Ion Rifle

[coarse swift]

I used both

Ammo was plentiful, just made sense

[coarse swift]

The system has been shocked

Now to figure out if I wanna bother with the remaining achievements

Do I really care

[mental rose]

That's the question only you can answer, isn't it?
You can only experience the story once

[thorn dawn]

I think my favourite thing about FF16 is having made summons as they should be - god-like creatures capable of roflstomping entire armies

[coarse swift]

Just like FF15

[thorn dawn]

FF15 didn't let you use a summon to commit genocide, iirc

[weak tiger]

first impression of DMC 5: hella fun but I will 100% not remember all these combos

[coarse swift]

The summons effectively killed everything you were fighting, only exception being Gaia vs Adamantoise

Better off just spamming Alterna till it works imo

[thorn dawn]

mm, that's like 10 things though, tops

when I say army, I mean foot soldiers, chocobo knights, and trebuchets

[coarse swift]

[thorn dawn]

all squished

in like

3 turns

[coarse swift]

https://tenor.com/view/final-fantasy7-ff7-final-fantasy-cloud-cloud-strife-gif-19295824

Wonder if they'll put Omega in 16

[thorn dawn]

probably an optional boss

[coarse swift]

Omega's pretty much always an optional boss

[snow zenith]

Fuck all that

[coarse swift]

spood

[snow zenith]

FUCK

[tame cairn]

yes

wolf spiders absolutely suck

Bible study with Steve

[mental rose]

Good memories

[thorn dawn]

Oh, or not. What a weird thing to say then. Dodgy translation maybe, spoke about them like they weren't around.

[austere lance]

I just did basic ones, lol

[weak tiger]

ay if it works it works

I love the vibes so far. Like it’s not taking itself too seriously, but it’s still obviously got a ton of work and care put into it. Graphics are really nice too

[dry dirge]

pretty much my impressions lmao

I actually reinstalled it recently, might get past the halfway point of the game

the fact there are unlockable moves too is so daunting

[weak tiger]

Yeah lol I’m a little worried because I’ve never played a game like this and I’m not very good but I’m having a good time so far! plus the soundtrack is lit

[dry dirge]

fr I adore devil trigger

[dry dirge]

groot family reunion

[weak tiger]

yesss its so dang good

[modern panther]

Y'all think I should get universe sandbox or cyberpunk 2077?

Steam sale starts in a few days

but they're both 30 dollars

They might be 5 dollars in a few days

[dry copper]

One saving grace. Season 3 of TWD Telltale games series..."A New Frontier" lets you skip the long-ass credits

Just finished Episode 1. It was....messy. Choices didn't feel like there were any clear better options. Like choosing the cleanest turdball in a toilet bowl

[torpid lynx]

What a cursed mashup. https://youtu.be/1jd16EnTiNY

[sonic sonnet]

🌿👀🌿

[fleet moat]

thank you for sharing, Acey @idle saffron & @shadow tartan check it

[torpid lynx]

XD

[warm hill]

Honestly, Arkham Asylum could do with a remaster

[glossy kestrel]

@sleek cloud @finite hazel I just cant stop from watching Starfield videos https://youtu.be/mySWz_SOiKQ

🤣 😏

[weak tiger]

I’m not watching any until I can play it

[glossy kestrel]

if u worried about spoilers... theres none of tht!
these vids are all about technical and gameplay mechanics

its good information in general to know about the game before buying!

For example... we already know consoles (all of em) will be lockied at 30 FPS... so if you actually want to experience this game to its full potential its all about PC 🙂

[weak tiger]

Ah okay! Might check it out later then, I’m already pretty set on buying it :)) it’s on game pass on release too I believe, so if I want to play it on xbox that’s an option. Will most likely buy it on steam though

[orchid fox]

straight up camping ur house lol

[glossy kestrel]

yeah and you can also play gamepass games on PC right?? Microsoft network for windows 10/11 I believe

I think...

[warm hill]

GTA V will be a decade old this year

[weak tiger]

I’ve heard of that, but I’ve never tried it! Could be worth a try

[glossy kestrel]

ohh yeah... windows 11 is even integrating with XBox Live service... they kinda force it on you!

[weak tiger]

Oof. My PC laptop is still on windows 10 atm, but I exclusively use it for gaming anyway

[glossy kestrel]

thts how im able to play State of Decay 2 for example... with ppl on the Xbox in the Xbox live network

(SOD2 is a Microsoft studio game)

yeah win10 is min requirement

look into it... im fairl;y sure you can play gamepass games on PC win 10/11... not all, but a lot of the games if they are supported

like... a good 80% sure

[weak tiger]

Will do. My laptop’s way more portable than an xbox so it’d be really nice to have some gamepass access when I’m traveling. Do you have windows 11?

[glossy kestrel]

yeah im on Win11 on my new machine... old one win10

id still be on win10 if my new machine didnt come with 11... win10 is much better for gamers

[weak tiger]

Ah, gotcha. How so? I’m not entirely sure what windows 11 changes for gaming but I’ve heard a lot of very unhappy reviews lol

[austere lance]

State of Decay 2 😌

[glossy kestrel]

For example... I have a Game Booster program tht disables uncecessary windows services and APP's in general... crap we dont need, to increase overall performance!

on Win10 is frees 800MB of RAM

on Win11 it frees 2.1 GB of RAM... the difference is noticeable!

[warm hill]

Way better than the original

[austere lance]

Indeed

[warm hill]

They are developing a 3rd game actually

[austere lance]

Yep

[warm hill]

This time with zombie deer

[austere lance]

God it's really been two years since the reveal, it feels like it's been so much longer

[glossy kestrel]

wht about it?? not a bad game... specially after they released the juggernaught edition on STEAM
they worked on the game and changed alot of things and mechanics

[austere lance]

I love it and need 3

[glossy kestrel]

yeah they already said they working on SOD3 indeed

I always felt the open world maps in SOD2 were to small

they made to much emphasis on us having to jump maps to find new resources

I want massive maps... Witcher 3 style or Skyrim scale

SO SO GOOD!!! another one im excited for https://youtu.be/BnO8liLvbBA

This year we get Cyberpunk and Starfield... wht a great year!

[warm hill]

We need a SoD1 remake

[glossy kestrel]

thts called SoD 2

[idle saffron]

Lol

[inland path]

https://youtu.be/vqrTvWRD7K8

[silver sparrow]

I’m trying to justify an xbsx purchase

For Star field

And adding sod2

What else would you add to that list in terms of exclusives?

[dry copper]

SOD2 is an exclusive? I have it on PC

[idle saffron]

Do they even do console exclusive anymore?

Microsoft I mean

[long beacon]

Couple but ever sense they let halo flop it’s been a slow death

[dry copper]

I think if anything they just just flip the exclusivity title to be less about them getting a title and more about sony not getting a title.

[silver sparrow]

Me no gots

[long beacon]

I’m prob done with Xbox sense they took the yearly gold, got pass stacking a few gold cards when it’s out in 26 il let it collect dust lol

[dry copper]

The future of xbox is probably going to be some sort of computer augment

Eventually you'll see PCs with xbox built in

[long beacon]

They want monthly subscriptions and no other option for online, only gold option left is 3 months for $45 or something, used to get a year of it for $60 smh

[silver sparrow]

Like cyborgs

[silver sparrow]

Boo

[long beacon]

What I think they’re going for is making gold free or something, and stacking up on different subscriptions

Ubisoft plus newest one, not sure who would get that as like 60% of the games are 4 years old or more on if you’d probably already played or own lol

[dreamy zinc]

actually ants would be scarier IRL

you would techncially not be able to kill them, they are X times stronger than you

and use swarm tactics

HIVE MIND

[long beacon]

Pass il say saved grace for making it worth keeping, 4 good ones comming up, wasn’t sure for a min, was same situation with mostly older games

[dreamy zinc]

like heck even spiders are wary of ant nests 😄

[silver sparrow]

So no Xbox then

[long beacon]

Pc way to go for anything as the ye old saying, it be more worth just saving up and waiting to play Starfield in 185fps and 3rd party mods

Xbox aight tho just don’t like the way it’s been going, ps is cool if ur into single player games, that’s the main lineups

[silver sparrow]

Yeah I have ps5 and low graphics games

[silver sparrow]

to clarify my original question, i'm wondering about quality xbox exclusives vs. ps5 and not PC

[dry copper]

ngl, but I kinda hate kate in the new frontier

Right from the start she plays the role of some regretful tramp ready to two-time her husband at the first opportunity, and being her husbands brother I was not keen to it at all. That shit don't fly with me.

So I made every single choice that flew in the face of that suggested narrative

[daring spear]

Not me reading that as her wanting to be her husband's brother

[dry copper]

I assume you mean wanting to be with and not just wanting to be...because thats both hilarious and weird

[daring spear]

No
I read it as she wanted to become her husband's brother lol

[dry copper]

Oh haha!

That makes it funnier

[daring spear]

Water at night

[dry copper]

roleplaying as a gator?

[daring spear]

Basically lol

Trying to figure out why it's so difficult to find turtle shells in the damn ocean

[dry copper]

There should be a game "I am Gator" like "I am Fish" or "I am Bread" or "Goat Simulator" but you play as an Alligator Detective in a 1950s noir thriller in Florida where you contend with the reality that A) You are not a human and must convince them you are and B) You are a gator and must convince them you are not...All while solving the crime of the century...the death of a detective in the police force that, as it were - You killed and ate.

[daring spear]

That does sound interesting

The dialogue in this episode makes no sense

She had the audacity to call my dude a bandit for telling her that her people killed the daughter of one of their leaders....

I literally said nothing else to incriminate or instigate

The conversation was going fine and then all of a sudden she flips her shit

@restive current Forza??

[restive current]

NFS Rivals.

[glossy kestrel]

gotcha

The Crew was the last Good NFS game

on a serious note tho... they let the NFS franchise go down so bad... the first The Crew was more NFS then the last few NFS games!
Shame Ubisoft fked it all up with The Crew 2

[restive current]

NFS had some ups and downs, but Most Wanted and HP 2010 are the peaks of the series.

Not counting games before Underground 1 here.

UG2 too, but...no cops, so meh.

All other games were just...up/down...not great.

[glossy kestrel]

Underground 2... Most Wanted (the old one not the new) were definitly my favorite!
Carbon was ok(ish) but it was all downhill from there

[restive current]

Yea, old one. New is fun, but it has its own problems, including the fact that they shoved Burnout into it.

[glossy kestrel]

yeah nowadays is all about Forza tbh

they did it right with all Forzas imo

[restive current]

Yea, but AFAIK, Forza doesn't have police chases?

[glossy kestrel]

its a racing game, not Fast and Furious

the good physics and open world content makes up for it

The Crew 2 is complete trash compared

[primal loom]

Reject modernity, return to Test Drive Unlimited

I hope Solar Crown is good

[restive current]

Yea, but I'm used to pursuits and love them. Racing is fine, but the lack of the thrill of pursuits is...no.

There's no feeling like taking your car out, getting into a scuffle with the cops and ending up with a shit-ton of Federal Corvette Interceptors wrecked.

[dry copper]

This game...keeps piling narrative inconsistencies one after the other

I don't even understand this chase gabe and david or chase kate bullshit...david was the one that came up with the fuckin plan and he drops it after spending half the last episode talking about being a soldier...and I might understand that shit if at any point gabe hadn't been anything but terrified of the guy...

Nothing about these narrative decisions make sense. It's completely shoe horned in...making all of my previous decisions feel pointless

Kate pisses me off

I don't think I could've been clearer from the get go if I'd punched her in the face. I flat out told her fuck off and in the end she still delivered a line to suggest I at any point in the narrative ever lead her to believe we had a chance

Bad writing

The developers clearly thought they were selling a relationship players would explore in some measure and that nobody would refuse it consistently from the start.

[idle saffron]

What game

[dry copper]

The Walking Dead by telltale

I hate the way some of the decisions are pigeon holed such that they don't make narrative sense.

I try to create this character I can believe in to get more into the story and feel more engaged...

and then it looks like the story was clearly not written for me

Rather it appears to have been written for some wishy washy flip flopping emo that had no moral compass 😛

Or they just made Kate a horrible person to like

I found her attitude not attractive right from the start.

[snow zenith]

The characters aren't a blank slate, you shouldn't be trying to play them like they are

[dry copper]

That's true

But they also failed to give Javier a backstory from the start...making understanding who I was as a character difficult...

I was playing catch up from the very start.

My character Javier was a baseball player who was not a baseball player anymore...Hell...I didn't even know that until I learned from someone else. The first conversation I had with the brother about hanging around for the family, I thought I still had a career to go back to and was some big league star out of touch with the family

From the start the story felt like it was missing a beginning and just dropped me into the middle of a fucked up situation with a dysfunctional family

Still enjoyed it

In the end, despite the narrative hickups, it was entertaining as hell.

Final Season is next....and Clementine has a new haircut.

[dry copper]

It's kinda weird playing each of these games in sequence...they clearly have similarities but also it seems they were trying to find themselves in the design each time, changing things up

Each season shows clearly significant design change differences that make playing them feel different

This final one I can actually see 360 degrees around me which feels weird

[dry copper]

(I really appreciate the running in The Final Season actually feels like an increase in speed and not just fast shimmy walking)

[cerulean kite]

is Bioshock worth $10? is it good?

its actually a collection: 1, 2, and infinite

do i

[dull tulip]

I've been disappointed too many times, I'd never suggest pre-ordering a game.

[orchid fox]

fair

[orchid fox]

out of curiousity was that cuz the devs choices or the fact it "didnt live up to expectation?

[orchid fox]

aaaaaaaaaaaaand my mood was instantly killed

i havent played pd2 in ages

[dull tulip]

Normally developer decisions, quality issues, yadda yadda

[orchid fox]

hits ignore on pd3 and starbreeze

[dreamy zinc]

The fck is in the gold edition that isn't in standard?

If it's just skins or weapon unlocks i'd say fck that

[orchid fox]

according to reports they will have a in game cash shop live service shit, among partnered with epic but they say no gameplay shit like weapons will be in it which i doubt

yet it states on the graph

weapon packs

[dreamy zinc]

Yup that's a nope

At least Starfield makes sense

And payday is AA too so asking 60€ is already quesionable

I do see it contains 2 seasons passes but that be 30€ per pass

If bas game is 30€

[orchid fox]

according to videos they have been wanting to go live service model which to be frank

puts me off

[dreamy zinc]

Live serivce isn't bad if done well

Division 1&2, R6 siege come to mind

They release a lot of content for free

So if payday goes that route it is 'fine' but then shouldn't charge for their DLC

Unless the DLC contains unlocks/items/whatever

[orchid fox]

to do live service on TOP of mta unlocks is questionable

they say it doesnt have gameplay affecting shit in packs

[dreamy zinc]

Im pro and against pay for convenience

[orchid fox]

yet graph says weapon packs

conflicting info

[dreamy zinc]

Well if info is conflicting hold off

i got exoprimal dou cuz i had a blast during open beta lol

also most peoples argument with epic being ridden with kids i kinda agree with lol

isnt 1080 low range at this point?

[orchid fox]

seemingly most issues is caused by raytracing

as per vid

https://youtu.be/3sNsMxrDEdc?t=1225

without raytracing etc it seems fine as per live showcase if u cap fps etc

i want to use 1440p buuuuut contemplating downsizing to 1080p

im surprised i havent subbed to digital foundry yet lol

[dreamy zinc]

I still find it weird that 1080p is relevant for mid-high end cards

Like 1080ti was marketed as 1440p card

[orchid fox]

idk what to say but ye the fact most high end cards dont do super well above 1080p is KIIIIINA dissapointing

[dry copper]

Game will have cosmetic microtransactions, just like PD2 had. They weren't hiding this. It was stated the game wouldn't have pay to win microtransactions. As far as previous version support, the devs have been slowly decreasing support for older titles over time. This is not surprising, not should it be alarming or quite frankly disappointing. Games don't get supported forever. Most don't last five years. The developer tried to branch out of Pay Day with Overkill's The Walking Dead and it nearly destroyed the entire studio, so they had only enough money to run as a skeleton.

Welcome to an Indie studio trying new things.

One interesting tidbit for Payday 3. They're launching on UE4 and re-releasing it on UE5, developing the game for both engines simultaneously as UE5 came out mid production and they didn't want to kneecap the game release to launch later on the new engine.

So the UE4 will be finished before the UE5 version is and released on schedule.

UE5 will be a free upgrade

I knew this was going to happen. Reddit owners are trying to make it so subreddits can be overthrown

They're just trying to undermine protesting

[orchid fox]

fair enough

[dry copper]

I just can't see a company properly allowing their brand to be controlled by armchair experts on reddit who can leverage control over their subreddit through overthrowing them when they don't agree

Reddit making the decision to allow people to overthrow subreddits to undermine protests, it is going to be very bad for the good faith of the company

What little good faith it has left.

I'm legit disappointed. On the one hand haha, fuck reddit...but on the other hand, that kind of sucks.

It doesn't help that elon fired the people whose jobs were to moderate

[restive current]

Honestly, though...it's his site, so he can do what he wants.

[dry copper]

This game is def not for kids (Telltale The Walking Dead)...shit. I wouldn't recommend this to most adults. I saw fewer adult situations in Grand Theft Auto 5 and in that game you commit to repeatedly, essentially mass murder on bad guys. In this game they fuck with your head and have you killing good guys too and then on top of that blame you for it - Despite the game being very much on rails narratively.

[orchid fox]

What age rating does it even have?

[dry copper]

ESRB says Mature

I think that's adult no?

Oh waitthats the tv show

[orchid fox]

Im pretty sure thats 18+

[dry copper]

Ah yeah the game is mature too

Mature 17+

Makes sense.

Holy shit.

I thought they'd pull their punches in the story a bit because there are kids in it but nope

Not even a little.

This is not a story about good guys and bad guys with a happy ending.

Or even the promise of one.

It's like a survival game. You're not going to survive unless you don't play.

[orchid fox]

its walking dead what did u expect

lol

[dry copper]

I mean...I get that. I kind of expected a less on the rails experience though...since it's a create your own adventure book

It's making me question whether I even want to bother trying Life is Strange 2

Like...I don't want to play a game that is going to make me hate having played it when it's over because it has a fucked up ending

[orchid fox]

for context ive played none of telltales games

[dry copper]

I should just google...not what the ending is but if there's a good ending

Yikes. The game has 7 endings

[orchid fox]

ok who gave the kid fox a tommygun

I actually bought a sick "hoverboard" from a manufacturer through there.

Got it for $150 in a market where they were selling for 1200

[charred badge]

I don't mind too much, because they mostly replaced phone game ads for me

I'll wait for it. I want to get some extra money before I run that gambit. Spent a pretty penny on starfield already

I figure the time I spend playing starfield, I might save a buck just getting the dlc on sale later

Not like I'll play that DLC with starfield out right away

who knows...starfield is on the 6th

Maybe I'll burn through it in 20 days

and hate it

[orchid fox]

it releases in like a month

[charred badge]

I mean, the majority of their product is just cutting out the annoying dropshippers on Amazon

Jack up the price for convenience worse than a 7-11 in Disney

[glossy kestrel]

yeah not my thing... I prefer to run it at 1440p 144 FPS

60 FPS is no longer smooth after I upgraded to a 144 mhz monitor

you notice the diference right away...

[orchid fox]

same ish

[glossy kestrel]

Silly ppl on consoles tht think 30 FPS is good... they have never experienced "Good"

It's all relative. Good luck getting an equal price per performance from a pc

[glossy kestrel]

@orchid fox but yeah... wht a great game!
less then 3 months of waiting... and since Starfield performance will be major trash on release, Ill have time to play CP77 + expansion before I play SF 🙂

thts my plan 😄

pvevp dino game

@grand mica also disclaimer theres not really oldfashioned singleplayer its mostly with other players/against other players

crossplay cuz capcom id

among other stuff promised @glossy kestrel

[glossy kestrel]

ok im back... I saw wht Exoprimal was

didnt see any of ur links btw 😛

anyway... not my thing

[orchid fox]

fair

[glossy kestrel]

I play HUNT Showdown when i want an online PVP Game

2100 hours so far 🙂

[orchid fox]

i dont like battle royale in general

[glossy kestrel]

HUNT isnt BR

[orchid fox]

i own it BUT GOD am i shit

it is dou just added a boss as a mechanic

[glossy kestrel]

HUNT its extraction shooter... like Tarkov but simpler

not BR at all

[orchid fox]

fair enough i have like what

[glossy kestrel]

eventho HUNT does have a quickplay mode tht is 100% BR

but Bounty Hunt is extraction shooter... which is wht i play the most

[orchid fox]

after i kinda gave up on the game

prob the best designed extraction/pvp game i own

i just

am shit at it

[glossy kestrel]

shame, its a good game

play random trios

follow ur teammates while u learning mechanics... basically letting them go first and die first

also watching TTV streams helps alot learning by seeing wht others do

[orchid fox]

i may or may not have tunnelvision/object impermanence so i get jumnpscared and killed easily lol

well when doin solo queue

[glossy kestrel]

thts 100% part of the game

I used to be afraid of the bosses when i started playing

id get anxiety and excitment all mixed into 1

[orchid fox]

like dont get wrong im not saying its a bad game just, not my type really

[glossy kestrel]

now its candy land... just another Monday if u know wht i mean

the more u play... the more u do things and realize how easy everything is

the game gets more relaxed

and sounds dont jump scare you anymore

but u need to learn mechanics to understand ur perfecly safe

[rotund cosmos]

My anxiety shoots through the roof playing those games

[glossy kestrel]

trust me... after u learn it becomes much easier

yeah i used to be the same... id jum pscare for all sounds lol

when bosses came after me with their giant blades id run away like a major puss puss LUL

get such axienty and fear like the boss was gona kill me lol

then watching Twitch and playing myself... I started learning if you melee bosses they get staggered

and cant touch you...

among other things... like i said... as u learn mechanics the game becomes much easier and much less scary 😄

just need to give it a litle bit of time lol

also the fact tht u get a free hunter with free weps after every match... also helps alot

you can literally go into quickplay... take 2 step, press Esc and leave... BOOM!! Free hunter for bounty hunting

[rotund cosmos]

I'd consider it, but my anxiety didn't come from the monsters. It was being paranoid that my gear wasn't good

[glossy kestrel]

let me tell you a secret... EVERY WEP KILLS!
every single one kills... positioning is more important!
yes theres a meta, yes there are weps tht are the apex... but all weapons kill!

[orchid fox]

but ye i value high fps over 60fps i just, dont like when fps turn sporratic @rotund cosmos

[rotund cosmos]

That's fair

[glossy kestrel]

and one of the best loadouts is literally a lvl1 loadout... Romero shotgun + whtever handgun lol

[rotund cosmos]

Honestly, I got a taste of high frame rate, and ooooooo it gets addicting

[glossy kestrel]

Romero to the chest?? good luck surviving that 😄

tht thing does 220 DMG and u only have 150 HP

tht means ur doing 70 more DMG then wht u need 🤣

[orchid fox]

isnt that a high level equipment?

[rotund cosmos]

Is the positioning more stealth, because positioning is basically bashed in my skull from Operation Clusterfu- I mean Operation Locker from BF4

[orchid fox]

also i cant even remember what my hunt level is

[glossy kestrel]

no, Romero is a lvl1 weapon

[orchid fox]

i legit dunno if i prefer a 60fps thats perma stable or 144fps with a slight chance to be sporratic

[rotund cosmos]

I like 60. It gets the job done for what my hardware is capable of. If I get a high end PC, then.. things would probably be different

[glossy kestrel]

my moto is... just cuz u can run things on super ultra, dont mean u should

u tell me u run 4k 60 fps

ok thts cool... try droping tht shit to 2k instead (1440p) and see how it goes

[rotund cosmos]

Some games on PS5 can. Not every

[glossy kestrel]

same for RTX... u dont need to do RTX overdrive... do RTX high instead 🙂

looks just the same 😛

[rotund cosmos]

Some, you prioritize performance over graphics (like every competitive game)

[grand mica]

Wait, it has PvP?

It's not my kinda game then :3

[rotund cosmos]

Yeah RTX just seem like a pointless tax on the hardware

[glossy kestrel]

Exo something is a Online PVP game yes

and co-op PVE

but forced online only

[grand mica]

Co-op PvE is nice

But since Capcom there's gotta be P2W bullshit, so no point in PvP.

[glossy kestrel]

most games ur even advised to only have RTX on low or medium... it still looks amazing but taxes ur hardware much less

[orchid fox]

ok im prob oblivious but i havent heard of capcom selling direct power purchases etc

and idk if i include characters in that

[glossy kestrel]

like... I also have a 3070 i know wht CROW is talking about... feels great to just crank everything up and watch how beautifull it is 😄

but yeah i want my machine to last a few years... not 1 year 🤣

[rotund cosmos]

I'm getting more and more annoyed at Ubisoft and their store.

[orchid fox]

u werent already with the ac shit?

I swear, EA can go fuck itself with the drifting mechanics...

Makes even good scenes turn to shit, but...hey, at least they got the beauty of the map right.

[rotund cosmos]

I have a pretty high tolerance, as long as their is a way to legit earn it completely in game. I'm ok.

Now Watch Dogs Legion, you dont even have that option.

[glossy kestrel]

dont look at it... get the same ubi games for uni connect but on instant gaming... same for steam lol
just cheaper lol

[restive current]

Also, if Criterion and Ghost never make a racing game again, it'll be too soon.

[grand mica]

An example: I'm paranoid and skeptical.

[charred badge]

For me, it's 100% stability

[restive current]

Damn...

[rotund cosmos]

Oh, I only buy ubi games on sale. What I meant was the cosmetic store
