@placid moat are u progressing ff?

[placid moat]

ywes

[signal forum]

@mental rose I started my online gaming career in MW3 lol, after microshaft bought the rights and butchered MW4 (my biggest beef was always their removal of my preferred control style) and MSN Gaming Zone shut down (primary servers MW3 used), I never found another mech game I loved

[mental rose]

So are you talking about a scheme where you only control arms with mouse and torso/legs with WASD?

I first got into the franchise with MW4 Mercenaries

Well, anyway. I've had lot of fun with it, and with mods it becomes even better.
Like adding Clans, or something like classic mechs from BT 😄 https://www.nexusmods.com/mechwarrior5mercenaries/mods/789

Which look WAY out of place here, but oldschoolers probably appreciate it

[orchid fox]

@placid moat 1. crafter glam 2. gatherer glam 3 and 4. ranged phys glam 5. sam/monk glam

[signal forum]

@mental rose Not quite, WASD to control R/L F/R movement, 1-0 for locked throttle settings, <> to control torso rotation, mouse to control aiming reticule

Backspace to invert throttle

[dreamy zinc]

i hope Idris also provided some tunes on CP2077
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFDaWJUzkm0

[mental rose]

Not sure about invert throttle, but incremental controls with numpad still work.
Only thing that doesn't exist in vanilla (at least from what I could see) are separate torso controls. Both arms and torso-twisting is done with mouse.
Torso controls apparently do exist in MWO, which is the BT-equivalent to World of Tanks ie. PvP

[signal forum]

@mental rose Yeah MWO was a project started by MW3 modders dissatisfied with MW4, they were all over it the second micorsoft released the license

@orchid fox old news

thts been a thing for more then year now

[tame cairn]

my dad showed me riddick

[glossy kestrel]

there are 3 movies!
which one was it?

[silver sparrow]

The worst one

[glossy kestrel]

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0134847
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0296572/
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1411250/
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0407658/

theres 3 other animation/mini stories but they arent worth mentioning

[idle saffron]

Did you play the game, what was it...

Butcher Bay?

Escape from butcher bay?

Something like that I think

[glossy kestrel]

nah... he also made a Fast and furious game I didnt pay attention to

[idle saffron]

The Riddick game was pretty good

Entertaining anyways

The fast and furious game was garbage

[silver sparrow]

franchise

[idle saffron]

Haven't watched

Eh, franchise is alright.

Well, movies, at least.

Yea, the Unseen Marauder looks so weird in MW5 😄

[dry copper]

Mechwarrior...Any of those games where you can get out of the mech, like in Titanfall?

[earnest hatch]

Im excited for Armored Core 6

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlSfr6Wa5sc&ab_channel=BandaiNamcoEntertainmentAmerica

for anyone that hasnt seen it

[dry copper]

lol watched a dude break Red Dead Redemption 2 by making too much money

Dutch kept being like...WE JUST NEED MONEY

21million dollars later....the game won't let you donate more...and dutch is still screaming we need money

If you donate too much the game goes wonky and the camera stops working

[tame cairn]

I think it was 2004 riddick

[grand mica]

Riddick is a nice movie. Vin looks so young in it, so odd 😅

[charred badge]

Never forget the time a bunch of inner sphere mechwarriors were used as a melee weapon against a clan battleship
https://youtu.be/ZqeXE2h4kuc

[tame cairn]

lol this is true he does

[dry copper]

Just started Forever Skies to see how it starts...Holy shit it drops you right into the storm.

Right into the plot running

Not a bad thing necessarily. Tutorial is pretty intuitive.

Environment is engaging

Plot at least so far what little I've seen is compelling

I didn't think it would be this good

I can understand why people compare it to subnautica and raft

It has some raft game mechanics and subnautica motivation

[dry copper]

Because he is young in it. He's only 31.

[upbeat bolt]

Is is possible to make a rainbow road like track?

[primal loom]

I've got no idea

I'm still a Forza newbie

[upbeat bolt]

I played it but don't have it anymore. Thought you all were playing hot wheels the actual game lol

[idle saffron]

Forza Horizons 5

[orchid fox]

@placid moat remind me have u done the spin the wheel maps in ff?

[placid moat]

Yeah, a lot with my FC.

It's on the backburner now, playing FF16

[orchid fox]

im just gonna

with the biggest smug smile

[placid moat]

Congrats, yeah always fun when that happens

[hollow violet]

I wish the posse photos still worked, but they just bug out now if you try to go in with more than one person

im staring smiling at my ff wife lol

[pure zinc]

I just started fallout 76, never played a fo game before. And this is my character. She’s so adorable TwT

They’re married :3

This cow has two heads

[dry dirge]

...is that the avatar game?

[pure zinc]

I don’t think so

Not vibrant enough

[idle saffron]

HFW

[pure zinc]

What does this icon mean?

[thorn dawn]

Gun

[pure zinc]

It only has that icon when I hold this gun specifically

[dry copper]

Gun damaged

[weak tiger]

gun

[pure zinc]

Oh no :<

How do I fix?

[dry copper]

Use a repair bench?

dunno

haven't played in a while

[pure zinc]

Ah ok

I’ve never played fo before TwT

So idk what I am doin

[dry copper]

Doing the missions top right

Pretty much do all them until you can find out what happened

It's a tutorial, after all

[pure zinc]

Ah

I see

[weak tiger]

I just went to build a house and live my best nuclear fallout cottagecore life

[austere lance]

I woulda started with Fallout 4, personally. It's not an MMO like 76 so it's easier to learn

[weak tiger]

FO76 is best with buddies in my experience

[pure zinc]

I don’t like that I can’t play with friends on the other ones tho, so that’s why am playing 76

[weak tiger]

Gotta have your human shields

[pure zinc]

Loll

[dreamy zinc]

she looks good indeed

[coarse swift]

Satisfactory adding power towers is a fucking game changer

I love this

[dry dirge]

I thought they already had them

oh no those were just poles

how are the towers different?

[pure zinc]

I worked with what I had TwT

[dry copper]

I wonder if Episode 5 of The Long Dark is finished yet.

It's only been a decade.

Nope...nm

[silver sparrow]

Right???

They threw this detour with tales

[pure zinc]

I gots glasses now, she’s somehow even cuter TwT

[dreamy zinc]

if i know Fallout that Charisma Or Inteligence +1

XD

[pure zinc]

It doesn’t do anything I don’t think

[dreamy zinc]

last F4 character i played (the male), couldn't find any other "clear" pictures

aah my favorite quest in F4

[pure zinc]

Looks like a mafia character

(I’ve never played mafia)

[dreamy zinc]

you should

mafia 1 and 2 are great

3 is ok but not as good

[pure zinc]

I prolly will when I’m not poor TwT

[dreamy zinc]

look at this man

[pure zinc]

Is

That still fallout?

Or mafia?

[dreamy zinc]

no

Mafia 1

[pure zinc]

Ah

[dreamy zinc]

😄

[pure zinc]

I see

[dreamy zinc]

the remaster

[pure zinc]

Mafia looks like crime boss gta

[dreamy zinc]

I mean sure

but it is good tho

[pure zinc]

I hear

Is prolly gonna be the next game I play after I finish Skyrim

Cos i never played that before either

[dreamy zinc]

fr?

[pure zinc]

I really like it tho

[pure zinc]

Not before a couple weeks ago no

[dreamy zinc]

Never Skurm after all these years>

11/11/11 was a great day for me 😄

played it day 1

[pure zinc]

I was

6

Lol

[dreamy zinc]

damn

yeah not a chance you played it then

[pure zinc]

Nop

I played halo tho

[dreamy zinc]

well at least you have the luxury to play the updated version

[pure zinc]

True

[dreamy zinc]

AND still experience it for the first time

that the best part

[pure zinc]

Ye

It’s been a joyous experience so far

Just sad I can’t enjoy it with friends

Which is why 76 is my first fallout

[dreamy zinc]

technically

you can

[pure zinc]

Not as a console user

[dreamy zinc]

thats the issue 😄

[pure zinc]

Yea

[dreamy zinc]

was last year

tried to complete F4 then

nly managed to do base game

got burnt out when i reached DLC content

[pure zinc]

I remember being little and watching my dad play fallout 3 lol

[dreamy zinc]

oh

[pure zinc]

Where you play as a baby

I think?

That’s fallout right?

[dreamy zinc]

well in the tutorial

yes

[pure zinc]

Ye

[dreamy zinc]

but haven't palyed F3

[pure zinc]

I was like 4 I think

[pure zinc]

Me neither lolll

[dreamy zinc]

couldnt get used to the janky controls after playing new vegas

New Vegas on the other hand

[pure zinc]

I heard that one was really good

[dreamy zinc]

5time full complete

[pure zinc]

What makes new Vegas better than the others?

[dry dirge]

but... NV has the exact same controls as 3

[dreamy zinc]

ADS

[dreamy zinc]

story, atmospehere

it was F3 but better basically

[pure zinc]

When I seen people play it, the entire game looks deserty

Is that true?

[dry dirge]

oh

I never used ADS

[dreamy zinc]

well

its vegas

so yeah

[pure zinc]

Ah

[dreamy zinc]

lots of dry land

[pure zinc]

I’ve never been lol

[dreamy zinc]

me neither

but vegas is a desert

[pure zinc]

Personally I couldn’t look at the same landscape for more than a couple of hours at a time

Unless it’s like

Journey

[dreamy zinc]

surprisingly it has a lot of POI

[pure zinc]

Journey had a good desert landscape

That’ll be another game I have to play lol

That and fallout 3-4

But 76 I’ve been having a blast with so far

I’m taking a break rn tho cos I have stuff to do, but

It’s been fun :>

[dreamy zinc]

i just found it hard no be able to after playing FNV tbh

[dry dirge]

I don't use ADS in nv either

[pure zinc]

I’ve been missing out on these Bethesda gems because when I first played Skyrim, I couldn’t get over the engine TwT

[dreamy zinc]

great that you're enjoying it

[dreamy zinc]

whut?

Creation Engine might be janky

[pure zinc]

This was a couple years ago when I first tried it, but I’m so beyond glad I am giving the games another chance

[dreamy zinc]

but it just works

[pure zinc]

Controls felt delayed and stuffs so it kinda off put me at first

[dreamy zinc]

oh input lag

[pure zinc]

Ye

[mental rose]

I always picked the Silver Shroud roleplay dialog choices ❤️

[dreamy zinc]

yeah there was an issue about that

[dreamy zinc]

Has to be played as a male for full effect tho

just my humble opinion

[dry dirge]

Skyrim exists in a quantum state where sometimes it works perfectly fine, and othertimes it bricks your pc

[pure zinc]

I always play female characters when I have the chance TwT

[dreamy zinc]

They should have let female be Misteress of Mystery

[pure zinc]

In my case, xbo

[weak tiger]

misteress

[pure zinc]

Also I love how you can literally trip over things and die in Skyrim

[weak tiger]

I love skyrim so much

[dreamy zinc]

sigh

[mental rose]

True. I always pictured it as me trying to do a bad Kevin Conroy (rest his soul) impression
"Don't you know who I am? I'm Batman!"

Always made me laugh

[dry dirge]

I'm still modding morrowind rn

thinking about being a stealthy character as I've never done that before

[pure zinc]

Morrowind

[dreamy zinc]

at least i know when to use you're and your

[pure zinc]

I just can’t do that one

[weak tiger]

About to start an Oblivion playthrough. Still workin out some ideas

[pure zinc]

I tried

The controls are so bad

Same with oblivion

[weak tiger]

u’re

[dry dirge]

are're

[pure zinc]

You’ro’ue

[dreamy zinc]

ok now you're just trolling

[mental rose]

Ahh... Skyrim
Me with close to 400 mods, and that's still baby numbers apparently 😂

[pure zinc]

Me?

[dreamy zinc]

nah

[mental rose]

I really should get back to that game too

[weak tiger]

I’m only messin with ya lol, my spelling is hot garbage most days

[dry dirge]

first thing I do whenever I install morrowind is swap interact and jump

why the hell is space interact and e jump

same for oblivion

[weak tiger]

I always forget to do that and broil in inconvenience

[dreamy zinc]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1q1nXLDjB8

[pure zinc]

It’s the same on controller, the buttons are so baddd

[mental rose]

Why is hitting a monster chance-based? Why is block??

[pure zinc]

Why’s there no dodge in Skyrim

[dry dirge]

I actually like that, but it's not for everyone

[weak tiger]

sobbing and swinging a sword at a mudcrab for 4 straight minutes

[dry dirge]

fatigue issue

[weak tiger]

[dreamy zinc]

cause C was cast spell

[dry dirge]

literal skill issue

[mental rose]

Forgetting that short swords fall in the same class as daggers and your character is skilled in longswords

[dreamy zinc]

because BLOCK

[pure zinc]

But I do block

And instantly die sometimes

I use two handed weapons

[dreamy zinc]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64DdkXNB1C4

[dry dirge]

there are some dodge mods, I have no idea how they work on console tho

[weak tiger]

I hope TES6 has spears. Probably not but one can dream

[mental rose]

I do have a soft spot for custom voiced followers, ngl

[dreamy zinc]

not possible

use scripts

[weak tiger]

Insane how far that’s come

[dreamy zinc]

most advanced mods need SKSE

[weak tiger]

Both skyblivion and skywind

[pure zinc]

Mods disable achievements

[dreamy zinc]

no they dont

[dry dirge]

fr fr 😔

[dreamy zinc]

you have a mod for that 😄

[pure zinc]

Console

[mental rose]

Need Nemesis, or the other... program that allows you to make custom animations for Skyrim

[dreamy zinc]

that that even on console

[pure zinc]

Oh

[dreamy zinc]

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/245

[pure zinc]

[mental rose]

I think it was Skyrim Engine Fixes mod that repairs that

[dreamy zinc]

always check your mod store or whatever its called for console

[pure zinc]

Oh

Creator club?

[dreamy zinc]

nope when you enable mods it disables achievements

[pure zinc]

Or mods list

[dreamy zinc]

you need a mod to get aroudn it

[dry dirge]

OpenMW is so great I can never go back

[dreamy zinc]

maybe?

dont mod on console

so wouldnt know

[pure zinc]

Real

[mental rose]

No wait. It was SKSE that still lets you unlock achievements when modding

...I think

[austere lance]

Morrowind doesn't have mods on console, Skyrim and Fallout 4 are the only Bethesda games that do

[mental rose]

Or we talking specifically about console?

[weak tiger]

I don’t mod any of my games outside of Skyrim anyway

[pure zinc]

And happy game 6

[weak tiger]

in game mod catalog only even if the search thing sucks lol

[mental rose]

Morrowind is on consoles?

[dreamy zinc]

it was OG console game

[weak tiger]

Ye

[pure zinc]

Yes

[dreamy zinc]

think xbox

[mental rose]

Oh

I did not know that

[pure zinc]

Original Xbox

[austere lance]

Yep

[mental rose]

Oh god the first Xbox... it ruined Deus Ex 2

[dry dirge]

I am so offended wtf

[dry dirge]

there are so many great morrowind mods

[weak tiger]

[mental rose]

Morrowind was my first ES game back on my shitty PC

Next to Fallout Tactics

[weak tiger]

I started with Skyrim and worked backwards

[dreamy zinc]

Tes4 was my first one

[weak tiger]

Played so much TESO

[dreamy zinc]

FNV after

ESO played that too

[pure zinc]

I wish eso wasn’t like

Hardcore mmo

[mental rose]

Ohh man! New Vegas!

[dreamy zinc]

you can solo it

[mental rose]

The fact all the DLCs combine to complete the Courier's story

[dreamy zinc]

has lot of quests

[pure zinc]

Not what I mean

I mean the world of Warcraft like mechanics

[dreamy zinc]

of combat or grind?

[pure zinc]

Combat

[mental rose]

I don't like ESO...

[pure zinc]

I don’t mind grinding

[dreamy zinc]

fair enough

[pure zinc]

Me either

I like Skyrim a lot better

[dreamy zinc]

combat is indeed MMO like

still ok tho

[mental rose]

Only MMO I ever played was EVE Online, for 7 years
And it nearly destroyed my mental health

[pure zinc]

In Skyrim or eso?

[dry dirge]

ESO combat makes me depressed but I love exploring the world

[dreamy zinc]

ESO

[pure zinc]

yea

That’s

Why I don’t like it

[dreamy zinc]

i mean i dont mind it

i like my occasional MMO

[mental rose]

ESO is the only Elder Scrolls game that has entire Tamriel in it
Only game that did that in the past was ES1

[pure zinc]

Skyrim style game, dark souls style mechanics, perfect game

[dreamy zinc]

i dont like souls dodging

and hit detection

[dry dirge]

if you have all the dlc

[pure zinc]

I really like dark souls loll

[mental rose]

That too

[pure zinc]

I like the skill that goes into it

[dreamy zinc]

everytime i see people play a souls like i just feel that the hitbox are so weird

[pure zinc]

They’re 1-1

[dreamy zinc]

like you dodged that

[pure zinc]

Except in 2

[dreamy zinc]

still gets hit

[austere lance]

ESO combat is ass, I just want ES VI

[dry dirge]

I like bloodborne, but I dislike Dark Souls and Elden Ring

[dreamy zinc]

im here for SkyBlivion

[pure zinc]

Ds2 is the only one I can like see that being the case

[pure zinc]

Why elden ?

[dreamy zinc]

and DS1

[dry dirge]

Idk, it's hard to describe

[pure zinc]

That’s fair

[austere lance]

The only Dark Souls I've liked was 3 tbh

[dry dirge]

Good game, but not for me

[pure zinc]

Personally I like them all, but that’s because I’m a sucker for medieval games that make you feel like the worlds against you lol TwT

[dreamy zinc]

Dargons Dogma

[pure zinc]

I’ll check it

[austere lance]

Dragons Dogma is wild, the combat is

[pure zinc]

It’s on gp I think

[weak tiger]

I love the way elden ring looks, gorgeous game, but it’s not my style of gameplay

aka i have skill issues

[dreamy zinc]

Cant wait to play outward :d

anyway

[pure zinc]

Oh, there’s lots of fixes to skill issues lolll

[dreamy zinc]

gotta sleep

nn

[pure zinc]

Nini

!

[dry dirge]

dayum them legs

[austere lance]

I thought I'd hate all Souls type games cuz I tried DS1 years ago and thought it was annoying, then I played Ashen and loved it. Then I got DS3 and beat every boss (including DLC ones) on NG+ 😆
Then Wo Long came out and I played the shit outta that, and now I'm hyped for Lies of P cuz the demo was

[dull tulip]

https://tenor.com/view/raccoon-rolling-roll-funny-dark-souls-gif-25412731

Dark souls fights

[idle saffron]

Lol

https://tenor.com/view/cosplayer-rollover-confused-dark-souls-cosplay-gif-11573246

[dry copper]

This is sooooo raft

Once you nail food and water, it's an exploration game. Survival is pretty straight forward

(Forever Skies)

Also very pretty

This game is way more fun than it has any right being, with its simple interface and routine gameplay loop

[austere lance]

You go down below the gas yet?

Also when are they adding the kaiju from the reveal trailer

[dry copper]

I went down a little but the game screamed at me

"YOUR SHIP IS ABOUT TO GET FUCKED UP!"

Apparently there's a dust level

The deeper you go, the more you get smashed up

I only have one reinforced wall so far

I wonder if the game will ever be MP compatible like Raft

It has all of the makings of a resource management shit storm

Just like raft

[austere lance]

The trailers looked like Airship Subnautica, even had the same 3D printer thing and little handheld building device 😆

[austere lance]

There's elevators to take you down on foot btw, shit's scary

[mental rose]

I'd never even heard of this game, until it suddenly popped up on Steam

[austere lance]

I've been following it for a year or so since the reveal trailer, it's a worthy successor to Subnautica

[mental rose]

It's from the same devs?

No it's not

[austere lance]

Nope, tho the tech you use in the game has a few similarities 😆

Devs said it's inspired by Subnautica and Green Hell

Forever Skies and Voidtrain are the survival games I'm most looking forward to

[dry copper]

This is insane. Thunder storms are a legit nightmare

You're in the fricken clouds...lightning everywhere

Damages all of your shit

[fluid hare]

Thunderstorms are cool on the ground tho— oh, this is ingame.

[dry copper]

During a storm you can watch out of your window as lightning literally destroys things around you. There are destructable debris in all of the installations

Lightning hits the ones highest up

So all you see are bolts and massive explosions and debris falling...

Which, that too can hurt you

I've been hit by debris, damn near struck by lightning...Died once of all things...starvation

[austere lance]

Wait til they add the actually scary storms, lol

[dry copper]

I'm already scared

[austere lance]

AKA the type they showed in this
https://youtu.be/9EtYTeTGkdw

[austere lance]

Consider

[dry copper]

dunno why that was called a gameplay trailer

none of the game looks like that at any setting

I've maxxed them

[austere lance]

It did say pre-alpha, lol

[dry copper]

It's amazing even not considering the trailer

I'm reluctant to do the whole story thing, but I'm having fun exploring and surviving

[austere lance]

I'd build my airship to go reeeaaally fast for whenever the "colossal life forms" shows up, lol

[dry copper]

Once that becomes too easy, I'll story

Good news

There's going to be 4 player coop

and the game will be playable after EA on consoles

however long EA lasts generally

Based on how it feels, I dont anticipate a long EA

[austere lance]

Their roadmap I posted up there ☝️ looks solid

[warm marlin]

Show of hands. Who here is excited for the live action Moana?

✋

[dull tulip]

I'm not even excited for Disneys marvel movies anymore

[warm marlin]

As long as there are those who remember what was, there will be those who are unable to accept what can be.

[dry copper]

That's such an asinine remark. Like saying, if you eat shit twice but only remember it once you've only eaten shit once

and before you ask, I know it's a non-sequitur. Thats my point.

[rotund cosmos]

What can be has been demonstratively crap

[warm marlin]

*gold

[dry copper]

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

[dry dirge]

Y'know, if you forget about the good movies, the shitty ones really aren't that bad!

[warm marlin]

I've never seen a disney live action remake I didn't like.

And yes, I have seen the originals.

[dry copper]

Fool me three times, become george bush

[rotund cosmos]

Pass

[dry dirge]

everyone's entitled to their own opinion

Opinions are like assholes

Everyones got one and they all smell like shit

[rotund cosmos]

The upcoming How to train your dragon live seems lackluster

[dry dirge]

that's not a disney movie

[dry copper]

All things are Disney in this...DISNEY WORLD

[rotund cosmos]

Yeah, I think Disney bought Pixar so

Oooh its DreamWorks

[dry copper]

I don't mind disney myself

As long as they don't run for office

[rotund cosmos]

Why would they need to?

[warm marlin]

I wasn't much of a fan of the original.

[rotund cosmos]

I was. It wasn't too bad

[warm marlin]

As far as Dreamworks goes, I was always more into the fast-paced comedies like Megamind, Shrek and my personal favorite, Flushed Away.

[dry copper]

[dry dirge]

I have no idea what that game plays like but damn it looks good

[rotund cosmos]

Is this where the lightning actually hurts?

[dry copper]

My magic schoolbus

The lightning hurts so much

It knocked out my altitude controls and I nearly crashed

Fortunately you have some time to fix your shit before its catastrophic

What's cool...every game needs a collectable you can store a thousand of in it...

This game....LANTERNS

[dry copper]

Humanity quiet quitting

[earnest hatch]

What game is this it's stunning

Wait this is forever skies is it good?

[dry copper]

Forever Skies and it's awesome

It's very chill.

It runs well. I haven't run into a single bug. The gameplay loop is extremely satisfying and there's a lot of customization in difficulty scaling. There's a story but I haven't really dug into that. I've been fishing and exploring the floating apocalypse while I build up my airship

You custom design your airship right down to the decorations

Fishing is the primary method of getting food early on

and you can extract water from the air, clean it and you have clean water

So making filters for the water extractor and lure for the fishing device locks you into a cycle to keep fed and hydrated

It's a little too sensitive in terms of how fast you get hungry but I imagine you could lower the difficulty to make that easier...I have it on Normal

The "as the devs intended" experience, I imagine.

[crisp sparrow]

devs get hungry often

[restive current]

Sky Roads.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SkyRoads_(video_game)

[restive current]

Game?

[restive current]

I had a CD with share-ware versions of games...Hocus Pocus, Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, a golf game and so on.

Loved playing those as a kid.

Though they're all mostly made for DOS...so it's a pain to get them running due to me being a noob.

[orchid fox]

ffxiv

1.5h not even halfway @restive current

[restive current]

Selling for 2 gil at a time... 😆

[orchid fox]

oh im not selling it

[restive current]

Oh, wait...you're fishing!

[orchid fox]

its fishing bait

[restive current]

How long it takes to catch a fish?

[orchid fox]

bout 10-20s

ish

unless its chained fish

[restive current]

20 * 999 bait = 20,000 seconds = around 6-9 hours.

Congratulations.

[orchid fox]

i had 256 not 999

it says 256/999 :p

[restive current]

I know, but just saying...in case you were stocked up.

The hard shelled crabs will form an armored cap over soft shelled crabs to protect them from manta rays

Haven't bought a disc copy for anything in years tho

[pure zinc]

I tried recreating my fo76 character from Xbox on PlayStation

[pure zinc]

Only dark souls for me TwT

[pure zinc]

I also accidentally made her nose red TwT

She got a cold

[coarse swift]

I've bought cartridge copies of the Pokemon Diamond remake and Legends Arceus but those arent discs

[pure zinc]

Truee

They’re swag games tho

Altho I’m not a big fan of Pokémon games

I like Pokémon tho

[coarse swift]

Bought them and haven't played them

[pure zinc]

Fair TwT

[coarse swift]

swag

are we in 2012

[pure zinc]

The only Pokémon games I really like is Pokémon snap TwT

[pure zinc]

Meaaannnn

[thorn dawn]

boo

[pure zinc]

Also idk why people hate on fo76

I really like it so far

But I haven’t played any other fallout game before so, I’m going in with no expectations really

[thorn dawn]

imagine spending £250 on a physical copy of the game and not getting a physical copy of the game

for £250 it should be hand delivered by todd himself tbh

[pure zinc]

True

[coarse swift]

my quarrel is a few things

1. MTX store
2. Before launch they said there'd be private server functionality, then they tossed it on Fallout 1st
3. They had the gall to launch a subscription service like Fallout 1st after the negative reception of launch

[thorn dawn]

4. It's just a bit shit

[coarse swift]

I could have more fun playing modded Skyrim than I could playing ESO
I could have more fun playing modded Fallout 4 than I could playing 76

[pure zinc]

I mean, what game doesn’t have a mtx store nowadays tho..?

[coarse swift]

that doesn't make it ok

[thorn dawn]

when you try and make a game that has broad appeal, you just end up with bland, non-offensive, trite gameplay

[coarse swift]

Just because its a norm

[pure zinc]

I agree

But still

[fallen notch]

Vaguely-decent games

[pure zinc]

True

Great games have no mtx stores

Like elden ring

[thorn dawn]

Deep down there's nothing wrong with fo76 after years of patching

There's precious little right or to be excited about though

It just is

If it were a colour, it'd be beige

[coarse swift]

I will also die on this hill: a full price game has no business having a battle pass
I already put up with Destiny, begrudgingly. I don't need another.

[pure zinc]

True

[thorn dawn]

No game needs a battlepass, it's a cash grab.

Just release the server code.

[coarse swift]

Halo is the only exception, because their battle pass is free and eternal.

Halo MCC, that is

[pure zinc]

Same with infinite

Their passes are eternal

Not free tho

[coarse swift]

So not same

[pure zinc]

But the game is free

[dull tulip]

A lot of the micro transaction stuff in FO76 is just regular in game content in other fallout games. Seeing them charge 20 bucks for a color is just....yeah

Think some of the stuff the first month was just crap they pulled from FO4 and put a price tag on it

[thorn dawn]

Imagine if you bought a used car, and you had to go pay the manufacturer for permission to drive it.

Wait a second

https://tenor.com/view/eccentricity-tesla-tesla-model3-tesla-car-eccentricity-car-gif-19163224

[coarse swift]

Shit that almost sounds like a NFT

[pure zinc]

Tesla

[coarse swift]

Buying permission to drive a car

[pure zinc]

But yea, I fully agree that games have no rights to integrate mtx’s if they are paid games

But

When I heard fo76 was bad

I thought they meant general gameplay things

Not

Mtx’s and stuff

Because that I can get around if it’s all just cosmetic

[thorn dawn]

I paid £2 for a copy of fo76 and it's worth every penny i paid for it

[coarse swift]

I will be pleasantly surprised if Starfield somehow doesn't include Creation Club

[pure zinc]

Creation club was bullshit I won’t lie

[balmy plaza]

Is cyberpunk worth playing now?

[thorn dawn]

you're not gonna be surprised.

[pure zinc]

Paying for mods is stupid

[pure zinc]

Absolutely

[coarse swift]

Not to flex but I got mine for free

[thorn dawn]

yes but don't. they're re-working the whole game in sept.

[balmy plaza]

I would wait but I'm trying to find a game to hold me over till starfield 😂

[coarse swift]

Pre-ordered 76 on Playstation but my Steam copy was free

[pure zinc]

Cyberpunk is really good

Like

[thorn dawn]

ff16 is quite good

[pure zinc]

Really really good

I loved every second of it

[balmy plaza]

Is ff16 on xbox?

[coarse swift]

I'm sure Cyberpunk is good and fun

[thorn dawn]

oh

no

errr

[balmy plaza]

Ah damn 😦

[thorn dawn]

idk what they have on xbox pac man maybe?

[coarse swift]

No lol, Sony paid big bucks to make that exclusive

[pure zinc]

One of the best games I’ve played if you can get around the bugs

Which

I didn’t encounter many

[coarse swift]

My only quarrel is the sexual content

[thorn dawn]

rimworld always has a standing recommendation from me

[pure zinc]

It’s not required

[balmy plaza]

I played a tiny bit last night and almost immediately crashed

[pure zinc]

At all

[balmy plaza]

But I'll try again tonight lol

[pure zinc]

There’s one part where things get steamy, but nothing sexual happens

[coarse swift]

Gets steamy?

[pure zinc]

Unless you want it to ig..?

Idk

[balmy plaza]

I think a lot of the sexual stuff kinda felt tacked on to be edgy, at least from what I played at launch

[thorn dawn]

also til lizzy wizzy was VO'd by grimes

[balmy plaza]

Aah yeah I remember that now lol

[pure zinc]

Spoilers but ||there’s a part where you have to go to a place which is like a private sex house, and instead of yknow, doing things with the robot? (Idk if it was a robot or person) but you basically just vent to them instead and they comfort you.||

But I didn’t do any sexual stuff in the game and beat it, so that’s how I know it’s not required

[coarse swift]

So I have to go into a sex house and its unavoidable?

[pure zinc]

They’re not nude

Just lightly clothed

And I don’t know if it’s required

[coarse swift]

eh

[pure zinc]

Either way, the story is amazing

[balmy plaza]

I'd love to see a Bethesda rpg in a cyberpunk setting one day

[pure zinc]

Made me cry lol

[balmy plaza]

I guess we'll see a little bit of that in starfield

[pure zinc]

I don’t have high hopes in Starfield imma be honest

Mainly because of the fact it’s Xbox exclusive, and every exclusive recently has been bad

[dull tulip]

It wasn't being developed as an exclusive

[balmy plaza]

Yeah, it was almost PS5 exclusive too

[dull tulip]

They've been working on for long time.

[pure zinc]

I hope it’s good

[dull tulip]

Tod tried to pitch a sci fi game before. So this is something he really wanted to do. So I hope a lot of love went into it

[balmy plaza]

Aside from exploration, the main thing I'm excited about is that they're making the rpg side of things deeper again

I saw there’s another FF game coming out. Which makes me wonder if I should give FFXV another try.
I just didn’t get that game.
Of course, you have to understand my only FF background is playing FFXIII and XIII-2 which both I loved, never played the older ones and don’t see myself doing so. But I had no clue what was going on in XV, I drove around and collected things but didn’t understand the whatever it was marks or bounty system, and no idea how to expand my skill tree (I was just completely lost in other words, whereas the crystarium made a lot more sense). So yeah, wondering if I should try it again, I mean I have it

It's called the Deora II

Based on this concept van/truck thing

Damn...that bottom one is a sleek one!

And I suppose that little slipper fits you snugly, doesn't it?

It's more than that. He killed their child.

I haven't played diablo since the launch of diablo 2

and even that game I played very little of

How many ways can you tell the story of evil incarnate and keep it fresh?

[austere lance]

Angels are shit too in the Diablo universe, that's why it's fun 😌

Both sides suck ass and humanity pays the price for their petty squabbles, but the nephalem (AKA players) have enough power to stop both

[stuck star]

starfield looks pretty good

[vernal sparrow]

anyone disappointed by starfield? The lack of land vehicles to me indicates that the entire planet isn't explorable, even if it is it's going to take such a long time to explore on foot. It feels like such a wasted opportunity. To me this seems like planets are actually just small maps posting as full planets. NMS may have spoiled me but not being able to fly your ship seamlessly between planets and space feels so awful, having to watch a cutscene of your ship landing and taking off seems so lame. I know this may seem small but the smallest things can often have the biggest impact and I feel like this it.

[silver sparrow]

I am totally disappointed by every game that I’ve never played

[earnest hatch]

Honestly in completely fine with no vehicles in starfield. I feel like people also forget that they stated "starfield has 1km by 1km tiles that are generated and then a lot of them are rapped around the planet" cutscenes are a bummer but people are really upset about vehicles and the fact that NMS had them and no one uses them at all.

Besides no one is gonna explore the full planet regardless

Look at nms

You land

You walk like 100 ft and then go "that's cool" and then your done with the planet

[long beacon]

Time for a space bike with no animations like fo4

[earnest hatch]

And then you're done

[long beacon]

True, need variety, got nothing goin besides specific biome and animal spawns

[thorn dawn]

What's the point of having giant worlds if they're empty?

[earnest hatch]

Thank you

Also they have stated on several times they are full planets in a recent interview they stated planets will have "multiple biomes can be on each planet"

I would imagine the loading screens are pretty seamless and maybe it's a cutscenes when you land probably keeping the immersion

[vernal sparrow]

the hallmark of major journeys have been facilitated by vehicles, especially in space travel. Even during ancient times when travelling far off distances you would travel by horses or by ship, or sleighs during icy biomes. Whether it's in games or in real life, for most of human history we have used vehicles or animals to act as vehicles to cover long journeys. Especially for a space exploration game, when exploring new planets it is crucial to have a vehicle to explore biomes. Vehicles and empty worlds do not need to be mutually exclusives, you can use procedural generated content as seen with no man sky to fill the worlds as well some handcrafting. What is there to gain by limiting people's freedom in how they want to explore? Sure you may not want to use a vehicle but what about others who do?

[thorn dawn]

I think the problem is you've invented a game called starfield in your head that isn't actually anything to do with the game bethesda have made.

That's a you problem, not a bethesda problem.

[earnest hatch]

Bethesda games have never had vehicles

Also they said they have jetpack upgrades to make it feel like a vehicle

[vernal sparrow]

No I am levying proper criticisms but it seems like you have no interest to engage with my points which is fine

[thorn dawn]

I disagree with your criticisms.

[earnest hatch]

I also heavily disagree

We don't owe you a debate, we simply think you're wrong.

[vernal sparrow]

That is a fair point though with vehicles and Bethesda's engine, I have heard Bethesda's engine has serious issue with terrian generation that even modders cannot create proper vehicles for fallout. That is an issue I do no need to consider more in thought

I believe the faster you go the more of an issue the engine has in producing terrian but that is a simplification

[silver sparrow]

Those people should play nms

[thorn dawn]

This

[vernal sparrow]

I mean you can disagree all you want but it doesn't mean much if you don't really substantiate it. To me I think your problem is you're willing to overlook major issues with Bethesda probably due to hype

[silver sparrow]

My problem is people who instigate

[thorn dawn]

I don't owe you anything.

[vernal sparrow]

I see that often being levied, if you have an issue you should play another game. I feel like this mindset is what holds the gaming industry back, we should welcome genuine criticism towards game and actually encourage it. I feel like it is more damaging to handwave any criticism, the only way for the industry to get better is to take on feedback and engage with it

[silver sparrow]

Welcome to my block list

[earnest hatch]

You also have to realize that this is using Creation Engine 2.0 which is a complete revamp of the entire system including AI Learning and Terrain Gen along with animations

[thorn dawn]

There's nothing more irritating than someone who assumes because you disagree with them you're brainwashed or whatever buzzword of the day they want to use.

[earnest hatch]

It is basically a new engine they are using built on the framework of the old one

Similar to things like Unreal engine

[silver sparrow]

starpilled

[thorn dawn]

stealing that

[earnest hatch]

Look at the improvement between Unreal engine 4 and 5

[silver sparrow]

Ta

[earnest hatch]

Same engine new tech this is what Bethesda did

[vernal sparrow]

I really need to look into the new engine as I don't want to be an armchair developer but you would think that by now Bethesda would not have issues with a common aspect of video games which is vehicles, especially when it is a crucial component to space exploration games

I didn't say you were brainwashed but if that is what you got out of my points I think that says more about your mindset

[thorn dawn]

you're willing to overlook major issues with Bethesda probably due to hype

[vernal sparrow]

okay fair point

I am going to assume that though if you're refusing to substantiate your argument

and if you have an issue with that then feel free dispute it but don't complain if you make a point, refuse to elaborate then have an issue with reasons being ascribed to it

[thorn dawn]

I don't owe you anything

[vernal sparrow]

although just speculation it seems like starfield will have a collection of small maps masquarading as planets, I wonder if you will be able to travel between key locations on foot/jetpacks

[earnest hatch]

Also for the planet size we truly dont know yet but as for what they were talking about it said a ton 1x1 km tiles generated and rapped around a planet which is a different approach but similar to how they do it in nms just on a more detailed and honestly easier way. I will also take loading screens and smaller planets over vehicles and planet sizes that are unfinished and unruly as much as I love nms the planets are large but have basically no exploration value I will take content of sheer scale any day but that's just me.

In the end of the day I am hopefully optimistic but cautious of starfield but them saying the game is "irresponsibly large" "on a scale larger than any other game" and "more content than Skyrim and Fallout 4 put together" and even stated by Phil Spencer to be "the largest game Xbox has ever made" I truly think sacrificing those little things can make a more cohesive and more enjoyable experience for people as a whole in the end it's a RPG not a space sim game.

[vernal sparrow]

that's a really good point, it seems like my issue with starfield is that they basically advertised it as this insanely large space exploration game, where you can endlessly explore planets and space. To me a lack of land vehicles just runs contrary to that, if they had been more open that this was a smaller game, where planets are hand crafted smaller planets I think I'd be more accepting of that. I get having no vehicles in fallout and skyrim, that makes sense from a narrative and gameplay perspective but I feel like a core aspect of a space game based on exploring planets is being able to use vehicles. IT's like magic in a fantasy rpg game, or guns in a modern war game

[earnest hatch]

And that is fair to be honest I do think that planets are going to be massive I still think they are going to be 100s of miles but they are more refined then what we have currently and for all we know it can still be a "insanely large space exploration game" we will just have to see when the game comes out. It may not be as bad as you think it is :)

[vernal sparrow]

maybe it is better if I think of it as a Skyrim type game, perhaps its greater strength is in its story and RPG elements , hopefully I forget about my issues completely when I play the game

but yeah in the grand scheme of things this looks like a really exciting game, I guess the greater I find a game to be more glaring and pressing common issues I would overlook

[earnest hatch]

I'm the same way so I definitely understand where you are coming from this game if done right might very well be the space game to end all space games

It definitely has big shoes to fill

[vernal sparrow]

I can definitely see this being up there with elder scrolls and fallout, it looks very promising. Honestly I am really glad Bethesda has jumped into this genre, I feel like the rpg and story elements of nms to be lacking and Bethesda has filled the void. I really more developers jump into the NMS formulae, I'd love to see From Software's take on this genre, a dark souls take on this sounds like a dream

i feel like the lack of competition has made hello games more complacent, hopefully this will push them as well

[earnest hatch]

That could be cool we kinda have that a little armored core 6 is coming soon

That's def very sci-fi and space realistic

Not the most realistic but it is more Space Grimdark realistic

[vernal sparrow]

oh I haven't heard of it, I'll have to check it out

[tame cairn]

made by fromsoftware (Armored Core 6)

As sad as it is to say

Land vehicles will 100% be a mod

Give me star wars speeder

To be honest, I just want to go to a pretty low gravity planet and just jump across it

[earnest hatch]

Me too

Interesting debate up there.

How do people travel large worlds without vehicles?

Sounds like crappy design if you're just going to be forced to run across a whole landscape.

[earnest hatch]

I would agree but they have said there is jetpacks that act like cars and you can upgrade them etc I just think we have to see when the game comes out

Several open worlds have no vehicles even large ones

[fallen notch]

Can you not fly there with your ship?

[tame cairn]

Probably can, I don’t know how it works

You can’t fly in atmosphere right?

idk

[vernal sparrow]

yeah you can't fly inside the planet, you can just select pre-determined locations then there is a cutscene of your ship landing

from my understanding you can only fly in space, everything else is a cutscene when it comes to landing in planets which is another issue I have

[tame cairn]

like when you ride odahviing for the first time lol

[bronze wind]

I'm fine with limited planet exploration to some degree as opposed to full access with nothing to do. Though if I can just play as a miner and sell my ores to make a living that's cool too

[vernal sparrow]

i could be reaching but this supports the idea that planets are small independent maps, cut off from space. I believe the cutscenes are just loading screens to load up the space map

[bronze wind]

yeah I doubt it's seamless like nms, sort of a different experience they're aiming for I think

[vernal sparrow]

i'm curious as to why they chose not do it, was it not technically possible with the engine they have? Or did it require too much time and resources?

[bronze wind]

I do wonder if when you land at predetermined locations if you can just walk around tho, or if it's a constrained map

[vernal sparrow]

yeah that's what I am really interested in as well because if you can walk/jetpack through the entire planet does that mean it's actually extremely large and it can take hours? If so then you're already exposed to the empty planet and might as well enable vehicles and spacecrafts to fly through

[bronze wind]

Like if it's mass effect style planets with a few km square you can drive a rover on and collect limited resources. Or more land somewhere specific, go anywhere but it may not yield much interesting

Yeah I'm interested to see what the full implementation is

[vernal sparrow]

I get not wanting to expose the player to empty areas but I find emptiness and sometimes chilling whilst you're travelling is an important part of a journey

I feel like if you're talented enough you could play that emptiness to your strength, have great music and weather effects to really sell the emptiness of space

[bronze wind]

For sure, they mentioned not all planets will have life so I figure there are probably some barren landscapes. But the difference between discovering that and clicking on a landing zone called "Barren Wastelands" is notable

[vernal sparrow]

and maybe when you're travelling through that emptiness, it could be used to further the story with character interaction if your crew decide to travel with you. It could provide a nice contrast to non-stop action and stimulus but it would need to be deployed carefully

Yeah that is true, i actually really like the rarity of planets filled with life as it closely matches our reality. It makes finding life really valuable even if it is simple

[bronze wind]

Reminds me a lil of long rests in baldurs gate 3, where you can talk with your party to do recaps and develop relationships in the down time

[vernal sparrow]

I imagine the major cities in which they handcrafted will act as those rest points to further the narrative and allow players to craft and maximise their skills

Maybe I am reaching but I have a feeling that most of the campaign will be about finding the traces of an intelligent alien civilisation and that DLCS and sequels will be based on them

honestly the potential of this game seems limitless

it would be funny in 2040 if starfield 2 was limited to 30 fps

[earnest hatch]

I mean honestly I can see why they are not aiming for seamless landing

While NMS does it it is def not great

It studders a decent bit it also limits the terrain to be loaded at the time

I would rather have a nice cutscenes of worlds then flying down and seeing every tile load 3 times

[earnest hatch]

They did they also stated that those empty planets will still have quests

Similar to what we saw in the Starfield Showcase. crashed ships, towers, facilities, and things on empty planets as well to do

And there is gonna be a TON of content in this game

It's like RPG Star Citizen but actually is gonna be real
