Those are two very different games lmao

[dry dirge]

actually that's three games

I think

[coarse swift]

Oh yea

[snow zenith]

kekw

[dry copper]

best starfield ever

starfielding?

[sonic sonnet]

Super Cop

Vibes i am getting from this image.

[stiff anchor]

Been watching some Starfield gameplay for the last few hours. Eh. Looks so so.

[frigid yarrow]

...the environments look pretty, but the faces...hmm...i dont wanna be shot with a space laser but they aren't quite it

[primal loom]

Fair to say, Bethesda's faces have always been behind contemporary studios

[frigid yarrow]

It all feels very fallout ish though, i like that

[primal loom]

Space Fallout Daggerfall

[frigid yarrow]

So far seems solid

[winter yew]

I hate that they released the expedition on the same day as starfield early access lol:3

[frigid yarrow]

I feel they did that on purpose

[winter yew]

They probably did

[frigid yarrow]

People who don't see starfield as a game suiting their expectations will likely move to the expedition

[frigid yarrow]

Which i find, gross, in a way

And at the same time

Strategic

[winter yew]

Yeah same can’t wait to play Starfield tho:3

[frigid yarrow]

My boots are ready aswell

[dull tulip]

I didn't even know there was a new expedition

[frigid yarrow]

There is!

[winter yew]

20 something minutes left here!:3

[frigid yarrow]

Same

[winter yew]

Hell yeah:3

[dull tulip]

Expeditions are part of the reason I stopped playing nms tbh. Not saying they're bad, just not for me

[frigid yarrow]

Oskar1up, the biggest spanish nms content creator even dressed as an astronaut to play it

[winter yew]

Awww lol

That’s silly

[frigid yarrow]

I'm gonna get shot with a shotgun again but they're repetitive and not quite made for veteran players, newcomers will find them as a really good way to start the game actually and teach them New mechanics

[fleet moat]

Whaaa? I missed it. When? I wanna seeee

[frigid yarrow]

Like, it really does teach players

[frigid yarrow]

Yep! He's in twitch rn

[winter yew]

https://x.com/oskar1up/status/1697375056559583331?s=46&t=QUGVUyLl5uyP8_q6kK78Ew
Found a pic of it:3

[frigid yarrow]

The dream we all have, of playing the game we like dressed as...the game we like!

[dull tulip]

Agree with ya.

I prefer the main game, makes me a lil sad to see content added that can only be experienced/obtained if you play the expeditions.

[frigid yarrow]

Hey, it eventually gets added to twitch drops!

[dry copper]

"Can you say quantum slip stream? (Puedes decir estela cuántica?)"

[dull tulip]

oh boy

[frigid yarrow]

And, you can beat the expedition you missed at the end of the year

[fleet moat]

that's awesome! thx

[winter yew]

Ofc:3

[dry copper]

Someone's geared for Starfield

[fleet moat]

Anyone who's following Starfield, we got a thread for it here btw: #1145350915172356166

[frigid yarrow]

Expected that one to be around!

[winter yew]

Ooo ty!!

[dry copper]

What is "doose", that is better than anything?

Is that like Deuce?

[glass plinth]

Man, the one thing i love most about starfield reviews is the ship building

People almost wax poetic on how well they did

[frigid yarrow]

This game is so good to chill and walk

[snow zenith]

Joan

almost thought it was Starfield for a sec

was about to reeee

[dry dirge]

it is

didn't you see the latest trailer?

[frigid yarrow]

I wish i had it!

[tame cairn]

https://youtu.be/wcEf2MoFY1A?si=okuXjZFKt6LIsFVl

[pearl bough]

Starfield default was ultra for me lol. Guess I was over worrying about my cpu and gpu. But obviously they have to patch and optimize down the road

[modern panther]

I wish my pc could handle starfield
||then again I don't have the money for it anyways||

[pearl bough]

Flash light button doesn't work right up front in the tutorial lol.

Wait nvm. You have to hold left bumper. Thought it was a tap

[inland grail]

i think im gonna pick starfield in early acess

i have the gamepass but i wanna play it now

[pearl bough]

Aww sorry buddy

I have fomo with pre order bonuses plus my friends pre ordered it. Sometimes if it's just me, I wait for a steam summer sale.

I don't have the money I used to to pre order collector editors like the old days lol

[silver sparrow]

i will play hardspace shipbreaker and pretend it's starfield

[glass plinth]

I see code playing

Installing as we speak, ill play in 2 hrs when im home

[silver sparrow]

i will play in 5 days and master my emotions

[glass plinth]

Holy cow 79 soundtracks

thats a lot of music

[silver sparrow]

79 tracks you mean

[glass plinth]

Sorry brains tired

[silver sparrow]

Brian's tired

[glass plinth]

Lol, the pain of working 5 days at walmart and 1 at landscapping

No time off really

[silver sparrow]

there is walmart in germany?

[glass plinth]

Im in usa

West coaster

[silver sparrow]

there is walmart in usa?

😐

why did i think you were german

[glass plinth]

Most americans work at walmart 😛

[silver sparrow]

oh yeah

i'm working at walmart RIGHT NOW

lol

[glass plinth]

Wait, you work there too?!

Lord does as well

so do a few others

Not a bad place to work really

[silver sparrow]

no i was just mocking your over generalization 🙂 🤗

[glass plinth]

Meh

Well wasnt joking, even if its sarcastic

[silver sparrow]

i worked at an obscure department store called Jamesway

[glass plinth]

Its the countries biggest employeer

by far

If your american, you know a employee

LOL

[silver sparrow]

well i know you guys 😄

[glass plinth]

True that

Hrmm, the compression for Starfields is suprisingly good

The preload files are decompressing quite fast

LOL my steams lighting up with starfield left and right on my friends list

[tacit mountain]

https://www.youtube.com/live/V7ScLl54ehY?si=sfA7flOt1UcT06I-

My starfield stream is live for anyone who wants to come join me

[upbeat bolt]

It's the law! Skyrim players will understand

[simple heart]

So i got told by some peeps that starfield is mid

Doesnt surprise me one bet since its a Bethesda game

No Man's Sky still the best space game ever

[quaint escarp]

look another incredibly shitty opinion that i will dismiss

another person that doesnt do their own research and just jumps on a bandwagon

🚮

[upbeat bolt]

Sounds like something a fanboy would say lol.

Try it & form your own opinion.

[quaint escarp]

they cant, they are on playstation

prob why they are salty

[shadow tartan]

You clearly haven't played Wing Commander IV

[coarse swift]

No one asked

Its real nice that all these clowns keep joining, really brightens the day ykno?

https://tenor.com/view/clown-gif-25799821

[dusk vortex]

I think the color grading is pretty shit

It makes the game look really ugly

Almost looks like a Zack Snyder film

[coarse swift]

How so?

[dusk vortex]

From the clips I've seen, everything looks like it has a Grey filter over it

[dry dirge]

if starfield is so great, how come there isn't a starfield 2 yet?

[dusk vortex]

Checkmate liberals

I'm curious to see how it'll compare sales wise to Spider-Man 2

[upbeat bolt]

HDR removes that

Makes it look good.

[dusk vortex]

Not everyone has an HDR TV

[upbeat bolt]

I'm skill waiting for Fallout New Vegas 2

[dusk vortex]

I'm still gaming on a 1080p TV 😭

[upbeat bolt]

https://tenor.com/view/shrug-gif-25269231

I had a 720p one for a decade until I upgraded lol

[coarse swift]

1080p monitor here, it seems fine to me without HDR

[dusk vortex]

I'm kinda jealous though. It still looks like a fun game to play and I wish I could play it but I'm on Playstation

[glass plinth]

Its running way better then i expected.

[dusk vortex]

https://tenor.com/view/nothing-left-spider-man-i-have-gif-14768506

[shadow tartan]

I've been here for a while now

[dusk vortex]

I've heard that it hides the fact that it's 30fps really well and it runs well on series s too

[upbeat bolt]

1440p curved here

Has some light bleed but it's fine

[upbeat bolt]

Haven't had a big yet lol

[dusk vortex]

What

[upbeat bolt]

I'm shocked but they did have alot of people on QA

Bug

[dusk vortex]

Oh ok

Makes sense why it took so many years to come out

It's funny how people know Bethesda as "the developers with the broken games" and just expected starfield to have bugs and then they release a game that's more polished than half of the games released this year

[dry dirge]

I mean

I knew them as the developers who made all those rpgs I like

[upbeat bolt]

They just don't pay attention

[dusk vortex]

I mean that people joke about Bethesda games always being broken

[glass plinth]

So ulta settings, 1080, no fsr2, runs at 54fps

Im impressed

with fsr2, 120fps

Honestly, doesnt look terrible with cas or fsr2

Storyline, world design so on, pretty happy, skyrim in space lol

[glossy kestrel]

yesterday I queued 15 reviews... this one distinguishes itself from the others 👍 https://youtu.be/ZnldnOLfVHY?si=bDuvWTF4xU4qj2Po

very well put... very well written 👍

Also, its a review about the game mechanics, performance and bugs... theres not really story spoilers!
he only talks about locations thts all...

From all reviews iv seen... the gist is the same, Starfield = good game worth buying with very minimal bugs!
Seems all the leaks I talked about the last few days were true... Its a good game!

[glass plinth]

Yup

I listened to a very critical review today while working

GUy pointed out ALL of the flaws.

Yet, still said, its well worth the time and may well be one of the best bethesda games

After a few hours with the current build, I agreed

[glossy kestrel]

yup... they also fixed the "robotic face expressions" before release! 👍

[glass plinth]

The eyes still need work lol

[upbeat bolt]

Supra et altra @glass plinth

[glass plinth]

YES!

[glossy kestrel]

I'm sure, but its much better then wht we saw in the Direct... thts wht i ment 😄

ahh that was nice... I just learned, apparently when Bethesda sent their review codes to streamers and journalists, they asked ppl not to put "Big spoilers" in their videos or story related spoilers. To keep their reviews about mechanics, performance and stuff like that.
Like, it was a request directly from BGS 👍

[glass plinth]

The stories are pretty simple at the start thankfully, so few spoilers

[sleek cloud]

downloading the patch now as i just brought premium 😄

[glass plinth]

Nice!

Combats way less janky then i expected

[grand mica]

I'm looking forward to a crazy load of beautiful images from you, friend entity, also hiya, long time no see. I hope everything is good at your end.

[glass plinth]

Gota say, the game runs well

Animations are solid, color scheme is really quite .. whats the word

Intentionally dark lol

Since Starfield's out of this channel into its own dedicated space...anyone saw 'The Equalizer 3'?

it's good to be back after wandering in space 😄

[silver sparrow]

subnoobica

[granite kernel]

Guys I'm sorry about what I said earlier, clearly Starfield can't take No Man's Sky place. There isn't even traveling and landing on planets!

[balmy plaza]

They're completely different games lol

[granite kernel]

https://youtu.be/12Fi0vnlE1c?si=BHac_D6F5ZgKCXoT

[balmy plaza]

I know, I'm playing rn

[granite kernel]

I mean, No Man's Sky does better about travelling in space

[balmy plaza]

Oh not disagreeing at all. It's just that starfield isn't really going for the same thing

[quaint escarp]

oh man not another one

[granite kernel]

Its like mass effect but bigger universe

I'm disappointed ngl

[quaint escarp]

cool dont play then

[tame cairn]

hey bud

aw i cant send the vid

too big

[granite kernel]

Yea

What's wrong?

What was the video about

[tame cairn]

Shira you have nitro can you send it maybe?

For me

[tame cairn]

About people trying to compare NMS and Starfield

[granite kernel]

Ok

I'm waiting

[tame cairn]

Oh I literally can’t send it at all, not even dms

gonna try to compress it

[coarse swift]

Starfield = RPG
No Man's Sky = space exploration sim

[tame cairn]

Starfield = Bethesda RPG in space, anybody expecting more was bound to be disappointed

They said what everything was

how everything worked

[coarse swift]

This is the same debate from back in the day of Outer Worlds vs Outer Wilds

Outer Wilds = elaborate puzzle space sim
Outer Worlds = RPG

The whole "o but this game is better because this" take is just plain stupid and childish

[tame cairn]

Since they can’t say Bethesda lied it’s now just, “I’m disappointed because it’s not like NMS”

[coarse swift]

Oh well then just play NMS and be quiet, ez

But I guess people gotta have that sense of belonging to a bandwagon or a sense of superiority

Cringe

Just play the games you like

[granite kernel]

But guys

[quaint escarp]

gotta love people jumping out to defend nms when no one was attacking it

[coarse swift]

You look a lot better with the mindset that you're getting more space games

[granite kernel]

Wouldn't it be cool starfield had explorations like nms

[idle saffron]

No, it would be NMS then

We have NMS

[fallen notch]

I'm disappointed by how often this channel (or even off-topic) becomes #starfield despite there being a dedicated thread

[idle saffron]

I'd prefer devs to do their own visions

[long beacon]

They all copied space invaders

[coarse swift]

Other games and media is other games and media

[idle saffron]

Starfield thread is optional

[coarse swift]

Just because Starfield comes up doesn't mean every single mention of Starfield must be in #1145350915172356166

[tame cairn]

Sure, it’d be cool

[fallen notch]

Yes, I'm aware of that

[granite kernel]

I just wanted to travel through space and land on planets with my free will, not selecting it on maps

[tame cairn]

but then it’d probably look like NMS

[idle saffron]

Then play NMS 🙂

[coarse swift]

Great then play NMS lol

Or Elite Dangerous

Or Star Citizen

[idle saffron]

Star Fox

[long beacon]

Star citizen makes pc go brrr

[granite kernel]

I think I couldn't explain myslef clearly

[idle saffron]

We need a new Star fox game

Not a reboot

Or remaster

A new one

[long beacon]

Man I haven’t played a star Fox sense gamecube

[tame cairn]

https://tenor.com/view/riely-slippi-slippy-toad-star-fox-gif-23524303

[idle saffron]

My brain

[coarse swift]

Lemme introduce you to Starlink Battle for Atlas, Nintendo Switch version

[orchid fox]

"mom can i get no mans sky?"
"no we have no mans sky at home"
no mans sky at home: 'starfield

lol

[idle saffron]

I have that

[orchid fox]

i am kidding :p

[idle saffron]

It's noce

But not really Star Fox

[coarse swift]

It is, just wish the Switch rendered it better

[quaint escarp]

wish someone would make a game exactly like no mans sky. and update it frequently

[coarse swift]

Idunno, feels like a pseudo Star Fox to me

Since they get included in the plot

[idle saffron]

It's def got the vibes

[orchid fox]

hellogames is like one of few exception of devs that dont let their game die for seven years and then actually deliver lol

[coarse swift]

When will NMS get it's Starfield update smh

[granite kernel]

Cd projekt red

[tame cairn]

why can’t space games just live in harmony

😢

[orchid fox]

dont even get me started man lol

[coarse swift]

Games in general

[tame cairn]

True

[orchid fox]

we are speaking 1 singular game

lol

[coarse swift]

New game comes out thats similar to another?
Flame war

People bandwagon

Can't just appreciate more games

[quaint escarp]

guys why cant these devs make the game exactly like a game thats currently out?

[orchid fox]

not re-releases etc etc

[granite kernel]

I don't think starfield didn't add the traveling and landing on planets because they don't want to copy nms. I think they didn't add it because they wanted to release the game earlier

[orchid fox]

mate its not a matter of its a cant its a matter of the systsem LITERALLY cant allow it at that fidelity

[tame cairn]

After 7 years of development, suuuure.

I think they knew exactly what they wanted.

[orchid fox]

u would get consoles bluescrening

[coarse swift]

Or ykno, it's because of the technical limitations and priorities they wanted to focus on as they discussed.
But hey, whatever helps you sleep at night

[granite kernel]

Why they used old engine at first place

[coarse swift]

They didn't?

[orchid fox]

inhale BOI

[tame cairn]

Creation Engine 2?

loool

[coarse swift]

They literally used a new engine

Ffs

[granite kernel]

Loading screens every minute yeah

[orchid fox]

that has

[coarse swift]

Wdym every minute

[orchid fox]

ZERO

correlation

[tame cairn]

Doesn’t even know what he’s talking about obviously

[orchid fox]

with loading

[coarse swift]

Have you even played the game?

[quaint escarp]

ok seems like a new block

[coarse swift]

Completely uninformed

[orchid fox]

it not that often xd

[coarse swift]

Yea another one for the list

Guys rage baiting

[tame cairn]

100%

[coarse swift]

These morons need a life istg

[tame cairn]

Y’know what’s even funnier I didn’t really notice

[quaint escarp]

not to be mean but some of these nms stans shouldve just stayed in the nms channels

[tame cairn]

All these guys saying this are people that either just joined the server or simply don’t talk here

Lol

[coarse swift]

When the thought process is "I'm gonna go troll some people" but you just make yourself look stupid

[quaint escarp]

make they stumbled in that way

[coarse swift]

I gotta take a break from Discord or something

Too many people like this joining the server lately

Just annoying as hell

[granite kernel]

I just wanted to talk about my opinion but you guys just pissed all of a sudden

Have a good day

[tame cairn]

Your opinion is misinformed

👋

[orchid fox]

opinion doesnt equal fact

[granite kernel]

But you guys didn't need to insult me

[orchid fox]

im not insulting but the other may have

[quaint escarp]

i just block and move on, they can keep their dumb takes to themselves

[tame cairn]

You are shitting on a game you obviously don’t know much about

It’s just odd

[granite kernel]

I'm not saying starfield is bad

[quaint escarp]

some people have no life

It's crazy that it wasn't even thirty years ago the thought of needing a cooling radiator as a staple for a computer was insane

[jolly palm]

true

and while theyre making that

a new sly cooper game

[tame cairn]

pls

🙏

[jolly palm]

we have been starving. for 10 years.

[tame cairn]

I remember there being a sly cooper movie rumor

What happened to that lol

[jolly palm]

no cause I was just thinking of the same thing

they even released some test footage

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25VGxR-ezqE

[tame cairn]

whaat

2016 😭

[static dock]

well, starfield did not deliver. its a good game, but it is what people said before release, its just skyrim in space. while nms is a survival exploration game with little action gameplay, starfield is and action rpg game with little exploration. I was expecting it to me something in the middle, but ig my expectations were too high. the major turn off is it doesnt feel open world at all. everywhere you go, everything you do is a black loading screen. the npc's make the game more lively, but the ai is at bathesda level of complexity. I'd say if you liked cyberpunk, you also gonna enjoy starfield

[coarse swift]

Tfw you find out an RPG is an RPG

Tfw you find out a BGS RPG is a BGS RPG

[tame cairn]

Loool

that last sentence

I mean duh?

The RPG plays like the RPG

[tame cairn]

imma just send this every time now

[quaint escarp]

i played the game thinking it was nms and found out it was a bethesda game

[coarse swift]

I don't get this "black loading screens everywhere" thing

Is my SSD just too fast for it to matter?

[dry dirge]

I mean their takes are shit but like
you don't have to make fun of them

[quaint escarp]

if you make shit takes you are open to be criticism

[coarse swift]

It's criticism lol

[dry dirge]

That isn't criticism

[static dock]

no, I mean there is no animations, not even cinematics. you wanna go somewhere? click there, black scree, boom, you are there

[coarse swift]

In truth, I don't even have to acknowledge them at all tbh. Not worth the time
I'm just bored I guess

[coarse swift]

You gonna be ok?

@primal loom - come drift with me at close-range.

[dry dirge]

Then don't?? Go play starfield if you love it so much

[coarse swift]

I'm at work

[dry dirge]

Then work

[coarse swift]

You ok coyoti?

[static dock]

you open a door, jpg loading screen, you are in the other side of the door

thats what I mean

[dry dirge]

...you're right, I'm sorry

I feel shitty but I shouldn't act shitty

[tame cairn]

What did you expect? For everything to be open?

You were bound to be disappointed

[static dock]

yeah

[tame cairn]

I don’t know a single game that does that

Unless it’s linear

[coarse swift]

Star Citizen

[tame cairn]

oh…

[jolly palm]

it does make me wonder how long before someone starts making a landable planet mod. skyrim did something similar where they had an open cities mod that completely forgoes the loading screens for going into cities/villages

[tame cairn]

well I don’t play that game

[coarse swift]

I'd be down for that

[tame cairn]

They probably will tbh

I can’t wait to see the mods.

[static dock]

exactly! it is possible. the fact that we have to wait for modders to do it instead of being part of the core of the game still baffles me

[dry dirge]

it depends on if the engine allows it

[static dock]

it does

[dry dirge]

o

[static dock]

we all know it does

[coarse swift]

Should listen to documentaries or interviews then, Todd has most likely explained the processes and reasoning

[orchid fox]

speaking about star citizen/no mans sky/starfield i just wanna pop a bloodvessel cuz im havinga giant argument in ff novice network about star citizen never delivering and appearantly IM the clown saying starfield/no mans sky deliver even partly

[quaint escarp]

game had to work well on console

it runs great on the series s

[tame cairn]

Isn’t modding different than Game Dev? I mean I don’t really know I’ve done neither

[coarse swift]

I dunno what a ff novice network is

[tame cairn]

Just heard that

[orchid fox]

final fantasy xiv newbie chat

[coarse swift]

Oh lol

[static dock]

well, you are very right

[coarse swift]

That's a different league of game

[dry dirge]

final fantasy or star citizen

[coarse swift]

Final Fantasy

[orchid fox]

but i will not extend the discussion cuz i am gonna legit snap

dont continue oscar

[static dock]

istg console gaming is what is keeping games from evolving

[coarse swift]

I'd be more keen to discuss space games with other space game players tbh

[coarse swift]

Mobile gaming*

[static dock]

not at all

[quaint escarp]

not everyone can afford a pc

[static dock]

idk what are you on with that

[orchid fox]

[coarse swift]

Name 1 high end mobile game

[static dock]

what does have mobile games have to do with pc?

[orchid fox]

genshin? shadowlegends, cod?

[quaint escarp]

genshin impact

[orchid fox]

but ur battery will kill itself playin it

lol

[coarse swift]

You yourself mentioned console games are holding games back
So by this new logic, what do console games have to do with PC?

[dry dirge]

I mean you could sorta say the switch is hampering advancements but like

most games just don't release on switch

[quaint escarp]

i mean cp2077 was supposed to be next gen for pc and look how that turned out

[coarse swift]

Actually that's fair. Aren't many open world games on mobile as big as that

But it's still hugely limited if your not using like a rog phone or something

[static dock]

cross platform games are made so consoles can handle them. if it were pc alone they would have far less limitations

[quaint escarp]

consoles didnt hold back cp2077 and it still had a horrible launch

even on pc

new games dont have to push the envelope, not everyone is on the latest hardware

def couldve made sf more open world

[dry dirge]

street fighter?

[quaint escarp]

but then consoles wouldnt have been able to play

starfield smh

[dry dirge]

wait I just forgot what we were talking about

[coarse swift]

Series X and PS5 are equivalent to a PC fitted with a 2070 and an SSD. They can handle quite a bit, and are cheaper.
It's newer games that suck your vram dry that require new generations of console.

[dry dirge]

lmao

[quaint escarp]

like skyrim has a mod to make cities open to the world

but the game takes a big performance hit

[dry dirge]

also since the game doesn't have levitation it's kinda a waste

[tame cairn]

A 1070 can play starfield lol

Though it’ll be locked at 30 fps

[static dock]

it literally did ? like the last delaying message they gave they said they had to work more to optimize the game for every platform

[coarse swift]

Guarantee Starfield would still be the same as it is now if it didn't release on console

[thorn dawn]

disagree

we'd have far less whining

[quaint escarp]

true

also do people actually have long loading screens on console? my loads are pretty instant

[thorn dawn]

but yes I don't think they'd have done anything differently development wise

[static dock]

lamo yeah, statistically true

[thorn dawn]

maybe released it a year earlier

[static dock]

I dont think so. game doesnt feel rushed or unpolished

it just lacks of something

I think the expectations were to high for a bathesda

[thorn dawn]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-jar-jar-binks-thumbs-up-agree-yes-gif-16164511

No JarJar

[quaint escarp]

its missing the landmarks in past bethesda games except for like morrowind

[dry dirge]

morrowind has landmarks :(

[coarse swift]

People were expecting a No Man's Sky killer out of a Bethesda RPG

[tame cairn]

Yours were

They told you how the game played!

[coarse swift]

Two different types of games, different priorities

Why not just enjoy both

[dry dirge]

I find it annoying when people want games to be things they're just not

[tame cairn]

They never hid what the game was like, lol. If you expected it to be seamless like NMS…I’m sorry you couldn’t look into the game.

[restive current]

wonders what it'll take to unbreak the channel.

[restive current]

It lacks the hard and software to match peoples' expectations.

[static dock]

yeah thats on me

[restive current]

If you were to make a game that mirrors reality, you'd need sheer processing power and space.

[static dock]

or perhabs not

[restive current]

Not even the Matrix can be that good...much less 21st century games.

[quaint escarp]

they showed off exactly how the game world transitioned

[static dock]

should be accountable for my own unrealistic expectations? 🤔

nah

its todd's fault

[tame cairn]

Lol

[thorn dawn]

I do hold them responsible for people thinking that you could walk around the whole world

[mental rose]

I just beat the Ice Worm
Most fun boss in AC6 so far 😄

[thorn dawn]

people thought that because pete hines said you could

[dry dirge]

if you try to walk around the world your character passes out

[tame cairn]

When did they say that?

[thorn dawn]

on twitter

[coarse swift]

https://tenor.com/view/the-simpsons-principal-skinner-skinner-children-out-of-touch-gif-4463952

[restive current]

Of course it is...

That's how we got to 4090s being the size of bricks.

[tame cairn]

Meh, guess I don’t remember

Either way, nobody would be walking around the entire planet

Unless they sleep overnight

yeah ive never walked around a whole world in nms

WALKED?

Yeah no.

[dry dirge]

aren't nms planets moon sized at best too

[thorn dawn]

yes

I know, I'm just pulling your leg.

So what size are the actual moons? Asteroids?

what I could gather is people were expecting at least flying on your ship around the planet. yk... like in nms 😬

[dry dirge]

based

[thorn dawn]

You cannot

[mental rose]

RTX 40xx is just ridiculous on how massive they are 😄

[thorn dawn]

in fact

explore the whole planet as it turns out

[restive current]

I know.

And we call that 'state-of-the-art' engineering, for some reason.

[static dock]

ladies and gentlemen...

[restive current]

Maybe he should be held accountable.

[coarse swift]

Pete shouldnt have done that

[quaint escarp]

dont think he meant it literally

[restive current]

Or maybe he tried to think Starfield would be another NMS.

[coarse swift]

Won't change my view on the game. I still enjoy it

[dry dirge]

isn't he a marketing person

[tame cairn]

That guy shouldn’t have even said anything

All he does is marketing

[thorn dawn]

no, in practical terms it makes little difference but it's immersion breaking imo

[coarse swift]

It is

[restive current]

It still is insignificant enough a thing, though.

[tame cairn]

Play NMS

[quaint escarp]

ok starfield out when elder scrolls 6

[restive current]

Because the rest of the game holds up.

[thorn dawn]

after shirley passes tbh

[dry dirge]

um ackshully my immersion was broken because we can't actually travel faster then light

[coarse swift]

I can't run faster than light? Refunding now

Wait I got the game for free, shit

[dry dirge]

give it to me then

[coarse swift]

No

[restive current]

No, me.

[dry dirge]

👁️

[coarse swift]

[dry dirge]

when todd decides which khajiit subrace all khajiit npcs will arbitrarily be

[static dock]

to make it clear, I wasnt expecting a nms clone. I was expecting a BETTER nms. a game that has what nms lacks and outstands it, RPG gameplay

[tame cairn]

Yet, they never showed it off as such

You expected too much

👍

[coarse swift]

It was never meant to be something better than NMS

[frail cradle]

Well that was unexpected...Volition went out of business

[dry dirge]

The reason why people think starfield was supposed to be a nms clone is because you shoot stuff with lasers to get materials

[tame cairn]

They never said you could fly in atmosphere either

[coarse swift]

Was it? Are you sure?

[thorn dawn]

definitely not unexpected 😄

[restive current]

Doesn't NMS have like...a few hundred thousand solar systems?

[thorn dawn]

everyone but volition saw it coming

[tame cairn]

The difference between the two is wild

[frail cradle]

Up to 2.2 trillion in each of 255 galaxies

[tame cairn]

I don’t understand

smh

[restive current]

AFAIK, Starfield has only 1000 systems?

[static dock]

did they say you could not? bc one thing is saying a thing a people hearing another, other thing is not saying anything and let people make their own delusions

😆

[dry dirge]

1000 planets

and who cares you ain't exploring them all anyways

[coarse swift]

I am happy with what I got out of Starfield tbh
Much I do wish there was seamless planets, my CPU is grateful that there isn't

[static dock]

true

thats fair

[dry dirge]

I haven't played starfield yet, ceryn hasn't given me my copy

[restive current]

Right, so Starfield couldn't ever be a 'better' NMS

[coarse swift]

Get your own

[restive current]

It's just its own game.

[dry dirge]

but you promised to get me it

[restive current]

(Not aimed at you, Tyndall, just replied for context)

[coarse swift]

If I did, then I lied

But I didn't

[restive current]

Either ways...I expect better NMS * Elite * Eve * Star Citizen * Starfield = 2077.

Maybe 'Arasaka Software Development' will help out developing it.

[steel knot]

Soooo, 30XX is coming out on Switch today.
Anyone getting it?

[dry dirge]

shush, let me gaslight you

[coarse swift]

It looked moderately interesting

[static dock]

that name rings a bell. what kind of game it is?

[steel knot]

It's supposed to be a fairlydecent upgrade to 20XX, according to reviews.

[steel knot]

Rogue-lite Mega Man, but with online & couch co-op on top of random-gen & custom-created levels, iirc, on top of permanent & temp upgrade systems.

[static dock]

isnt that one mega man clone/tribute that everyone hated and it flopped?

[steel knot]

https://youtu.be/B8ASvbVcvRc?si=Ab-TX9leUMUsMy5E

[steel knot]

No, you're thinking of Mighty No. 9.

[dry dirge]

why'd you have to remind me of might no 9 :(

I could've gone forever pretending it didn't exist

[static dock]

oh shit you right. I only remember it has a number on its name

[static dock]

sorry 😅

[steel knot]

Bad contrasts only make the bright ones shine brighter, my friends.
Just consider MN9 a growing pain on the road of Mega-likes.🤣

[static dock]

wait wait. saint rows right???

HA

serves them right

what an awful game

[frail cradle]

Saints Row 2 was great, they haven't been nearly as good since, though

[restive current]

Is it really that bad?

The new one.

[static dock]

I saw a gameplay in oneyplays channel

its horrendous

they butchered the saints rows series

[restive current]

Shame.

[tame cairn]

Sad they went out of business for that

But it’s true.

[orchid fox]

volition goin bancrupt/getting fired was expected imo tbh @frail cradle

[snow zenith]

Never liked Saints Row but still sad to see Volition go

[tame cairn]

I used to like Saints Row

[orchid fox]

oh im not saying it isnt saying uknow kinda expected

always sad to see people get mass fired

[stiff anchor]

From what I've seen of Starfield, it appears to be somewhat "open world" but is still very much "on rails". And the planets are mostly all barren and bereft of life. It looks really friggin' boring imo.

[coarse swift]

I'm losing count @quaint escarp

How many is that now

[dry dirge]

at least 1

maybe 2, not sure

[coarse swift]

I can confirm as someone's whos actually playing the game: it's not boring

[stiff anchor]

To be fair, NMS is a pretty boring game. But here I am still playing it.

[dry dirge]

Evidently it's not

[coarse swift]

Wonder how many planets irl are teeming with life

[thorn dawn]

1

[dry dirge]

Jupiter

[quaint escarp]

@coarse swift dont engage block and play the game

[coarse swift]

3 message rule

So far it's at 2 this time

No need to block yet

[austere lance]

Oh no, not the devs making space be realistic!
Also, literally everyone was told this before release by Todd himself 😆
https://www.thegamer.com/starfield-planets-ten-percent-contain-life/

Honestly even 10% is a pretty high percentage, compared to space irl

[stiff anchor]

Yup, it is more realistic. It makes perfect sense that only a tiny amount of planets would have life on them. Thank goodness HG decided to scrap reality and actually put something on planets.

[dry dirge]

realism is a bad argument, a good argument is that developers aren't magic

[coarse swift]

In other words, you're happy playing NMS and there's no need to compare to Starfield

[restive current]

Why does that argument seem like an oxymoron?

[austere lance]

Can't believe I'm defending a game I have zero interest in 💀

[quaint escarp]

play it on gamepass

[coarse swift]

Or buy a GPU and get it for free 🧠

[quaint escarp]

hear that @thorn dawn

[dry dirge]

buy this thing to get something for free

[coarse swift]

[austere lance]

I haven't liked a sci fi Bethesda game since Fallout 3, lol. I just want a new Elder Scrolls 😔

[stiff anchor]

I wasn't really trying to "attack" Starfield. That's just my opinion of it so far. My opinion could change. I wasn't trying to kick off a Starfield hate thread or anything.

[pseudo isle]

no surprise they give it for free considering the state of it

Ah, there's the shit take

Was wondering

[thorn dawn]

People in glass houses

[austere lance]

I'm more looking forward to Lies of P than Starfield 😆

[quaint escarp]

what state is this person talking about

[austere lance]

Actually Cyberpunk 2.0 do be looking good too

[quaint escarp]

some made up bs to fit their narrative?

why does starfield launch bring out all the weirdos

[dry dirge]

not like game I like equal weirdo

[austere lance]

Tbh I should probably start catching up on getting games like Dead Space remake and Hogwarts Legacy before diving into new stuff, lol

[dry dirge]

comparing it to nms is shit, though

[quaint escarp]

never said that think you can butt out

[austere lance]

Using laser to harvest materials=NMS, dontcha know

[long beacon]

Aight I regret my MS points preorder of SF

Watched a bit of it, it’s struggling

[austere lance]

San Francisco?

[dry dirge]

SHOOT ROCK WITH LASER SHOOT ROCK WITH LASER

[long beacon]

That be a good game lol, star field

[dry dirge]

san fransisco sucks wdym

[austere lance]

Driver: San Francisco was a banger, fr

[coarse swift]

All the homeless

[long beacon]

You could simulate trying to not get haggled

[austere lance]

The only SF that matters, fr

[long beacon]

Classic

[dry dirge]

all they said is they think the game is in a bad state
they're probably wrong, but you're getting personally offended over what somebody else said about a game

[thorn dawn]

you're getting offended about somone getting offended tho

[quaint escarp]

again wasnt talking to you

but go on

ill just block

[austere lance]

Boi do I love funky big game releases making people go nuts and argue constantly. It's like a sub-division of the dumbass console wars, but with the added bonus of console war people usually getting involved to try and use said games to support their side

[quaint escarp]

theres vaild criticism of the game its not perfect but all the people coming in comparing it to nms, doing no research and making points without anything to back it up just makes me reply

[dry dirge]

you can reply without being snarky and rude

[long beacon]

Tbh after watching it, a good comparison is a fleshed out outerworlds

Down to how it plays and all

[thorn dawn]

I can't I have a disability

[coarse swift]

I'm gonna get brainrot reading all this.
@idle saffron @fleet moat with how much of a rift and debate the Starfield release is causing here, should there be something addressed to curb it? I'm getting real tired of reading something toxic debate here each day. I'm doing my best not to take part.

[quaint escarp]

you arent doing a good job of that ceryn

[coarse swift]

As I said, I'm doing my best not to take part

[stiff anchor]

It's not the first time I was accused of "comparing Starfield to NMS" when I was simply expressing my opinion about it. it's become this weird knee-jerk reaction: "yOu cAnT cOmPaRe tHeM!" I wasn't. That's called an opinion, my dude.

[coarse swift]

Shouldn't have from the start but you can't change the past

[thorn dawn]

it took you 10 minutes to write that? damn son

[dry dirge]

most civil #off-topic-bond-james-bond/#other-games discussion

[stiff anchor]

Yes, unlike some people, I take time to think before I speak.

[quaint escarp]

thats like starfield releasing first, people coming in calling nms crap bc it doesnt look as nice

no one needs the negativity

[coarse swift]

And yet you came up with this

[stiff anchor]

It appears to be an opinion to me. Sorry, i didn't realize that wasn't allowed.

[austere lance]

Don't we literally have a Starfield thread? Y'all can go argue there while this channel can be reserved for important stuff, like Simpsons Hit & Run never getting a remaster

[coarse swift]

Yes, it is an opinion, you're correct. That's unrelated your statement of thinking before you speak

[tame cairn]

lol

[dry dirge]

Isn't there a fan remake?

[jolly palm]

oh yeah theres that whole youtube series on the dude making it

[quaint escarp]

think im just going to be very liberal on the block button and not respond

[coarse swift]

I just need a break from the server

I hate blocking people and I hate getting an attitude over all these takes.

I just wanna enjoy my game.

[quaint escarp]

the thread is not that bad

its just this channel

[stiff anchor]

I admit my original comment was a bit blunt. Perhaps unnecessarily negative. I can drop it. No need to block people if we don't have to.

[fleet moat]

Toxic debates are against this server's rules, which is clearly stated in our pinned rules here: #other-games message

We ask members to please help report if / when they come up and we're not around at the time it happens and most importantly, to not partake in said debates if it starts to cross the lines when it comes to incivility.

To add to that, for the record, Gleam and I feel that if anyone wants to have an extended discussion about Starfield specifically, we highly encourage members to move to the #1145350915172356166 thread.

[inland grail]

Soo we cant talk about starfield here anymore ?

[stiff anchor]

It does seem to be a catalyst for heated debate.

I got a bit snippy in a couple of those replies. I apologize for that.

[austere lance]

I've been being entertained by my months long project of making my diehard FromSoft fan friend realize that he doesn't actually like Soulslikes, just Souls games themselves.
I've been getting him to try Soulslikes not made by FromSoft like Wo Long Fallen Dynasty and The Surge 2 and without fail he turns into a raging lunatic yelling about the game being broken bullshit and insulting the devs by the time he reaches the first boss. Meanwhile, I've only beaten one FromSoft game in my entire life and I'm having a blast with these games 🤣

[tame cairn]

oh cs2 is out now

[restive current]

It's not that, just that they've created a thread for #1145350915172356166.

So talking here would just clutter it up.

Since this is a place for all games and not just Starfield.

Also, I need a 100 8 TB SSDs.

But they cost so much...

Someone want to donate to the cause?

[mental rose]

Hmm... Frostpunk is -80% due to the steam strategy sale.
Been thinking of getting that, since it's another roguelike city management, like Ixion

[mental rose]

You introduce them to Nioh yet? That's a soulslike too, right? 😄

[austere lance]

I don't even like city survival games but I fuckin loooooooove Frostpunk 💕

finally, dogtown

[fleet moat]

@idle saffron check it

[tame cairn]

I’m happy police will be a thing actually

[fast badger]

Oh man I got so bored playing the outer worlds

Like it started well bu after getting to the first town and being handed like 3 fetch quests while also having no motivation to explore just really got me sleeping

[long beacon]

Yea not my cup of tea

[dry dirge]

mewtwo looks so angry

[proud violet]

I stuffed them into a pokeball, that might be why

Also, their birth, but yeah 😁

[austere lance]

I liked it more than every Fallout since 3

[tame cairn]

so 4

[austere lance]

New Vegas, 4, and 76

[tame cairn]

crazy talk

[austere lance]

I'll take Outer Worlds over any of those

[dry dirge]

All fallout games are bad except tactics

[tame cairn]

outer worlds better than nv in blasphemy, but it’s opinionated

NV > 3 imo

Best part of 3 was the dlcs

[austere lance]

I can't stand NV, by the time I ever actually get to Vegas I'm already bored to tears and stop playing

[tame cairn]

3 is subway apocalypse sim

[weak tiger]

Only played FO4 loved it

[tame cairn]

Outer Worlds better than 4 though

[dry dirge]

I like one and two

crpgs best

[austere lance]

Do you like the Wasteland games?

[dry dirge]

never played them

[austere lance]

They're basically just CRPG Fallout games, lol

Wasteland is basically what would happen if Bethesda had never stopped making CRPGs

[tame cairn]

Only thing that really disappoints me about Outer Worlds is not being able to play after the story ends

[austere lance]

True

[tame cairn]

Odd choice

[austere lance]

I have hope for Outer Worlds 2

[fast badger]

Fallout new Vegas is the best fallout game and the other worlds sucks I am biased

I hope outer worlds 2 is better cause it's obsidian

[austere lance]

Cuz the first one was made on a budget before the studio got bought by Microsoft. The sequel is gonna have full Microsoft sources, it's gonna be 👌 @tame cairn

[tame cairn]

Oh, nice.

[dry dirge]

outer worlds is more of a bioware style game then bethesda style game, imo

[tame cairn]

https://youtu.be/N86tjiha4hc?si=W-QZWyrzCzgzlQMq

Not being able to climb EVERYTHING is so much better imo

ah

So there’s actually a lore reason why Basim can do the Arkham Knight stuff @austere lance

More like a way to get the new system into the game but still

[modern panther]

wish that games weren't so boring lately

[dry copper]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bk7RVw3I8eg

[coarse swift]

Outer Worlds doesn't have settlement building

[dry copper]

Outer Worlds has .....genocide. That's pretty much the only thing the game has that no other game has. Absolute RP genocide

The ability to murder everything

[tame cairn]

Neither does the previous Fallouts and they are fine without it

[dry copper]

I think that's the only thing that surprised me about Outer worlds.

[tame cairn]

Outer Worlds story I was talking about anyways though

[dry copper]

The amount of murder you can do

[tame cairn]

4 is 3 just reversed plus other bad decicions

[dry copper]

That explains Saints Row

[coarse swift]

Everyone has a different opinion

[dry copper]

4 is 3....5 is 1

My opinion. The above rendition of the sound of silence is the best ever performed.

By anyone

[austere lance]

This is the second best
https://youtu.be/y-1D5N7Bzrk?si=G0MUKp0Y9nxbqr6S

[dry copper]

Ooooh we got a challenger

I dig the crazy hair. I hope they don't take the crazy hair seriously...Is this band emo-serious or emo-parody?

[austere lance]

No idea, lol

[dry copper]

That says Emo parody, but the long hair with sunglasses says emo-serious

Like nikki six crying for attention emo

This is def parody

This acting is bullshit

lol

I enjoyed it

ty for the link

[austere lance]

I randomly found them on Spotify once when I was adding the Disturbed cover to a playlist, lol. Was surprised how fun their cover was

[dry copper]

It's so rare I hear a song redone I think is better than and not just different from the original

Lorde's rendition of "Everybody wants to rule the world"
Disturbed' "The Sound of Silence"
Miley Cyrus' "Jolene"

Who do I gotta call to get a poets of the fall doing "Wicked Game"?

[weak tiger]

Disturbed is hella good

[dry copper]

I mean...Pink also did a rendition of "Runaway" which was pretty sick, too

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CQZvGZR-h0

[weak tiger]

I’ll need to give that one a listen, haven’t heard it

[dry copper]

It's a banger

[weak tiger]

Always enjoyed P!NK though

[dry copper]

Oh wait that isn't a rendition. I think she might've written that

Checking again

I hate these damn commercials that are entire songs

They give youtube a bad name

Fuck metrics. Lets just advertise shit by dumping the whole album in a commercial and dropping trou right in the listeners ears

[pine halo]

so how close is Starfield to nms?

[weak tiger]

I just hate youtube ads in general, most are really obnoxious

[weak tiger]

We do have a #1145350915172356166 thread if you have specific questions (since it may get buried here)! I’ve heard it’s not much like NMS at all, more like Skyrim/FO in space so usual Bethesda rpg. Haven’t played yet though

[pine halo]

i just wanted another NMS game

thanks @weak tiger

@tame cairn who was that i feel like i follow him on youtube?

[tame cairn]

random bethesda enjoyer

[static dock]

https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/starfield-on-pc-already-has-a-mod-to-swap-amds-fsr2-upscaling-with-nvidias-dlss/

just what I said, if moders can do it is because is development wise posible

[pearl bough]

It's not. But sorta at the same time I guess lol. It feels like a mash up of various games like fallout, mass effect and NMS.

But yea. More of a fallout feel than NMS. And the ship building is a cool unique system.

[pine halo]

found him https://www.youtube.com/@Naiwal

[glass plinth]

Ok after awhile on starfield, my summary. I like it.

Fallout in space more then skyrim, with a heavy dose of daggerfall

Its way way way better then i was expecting.

[pine halo]

daggerfall wow

[glass plinth]

Yeah, the banking system so on

all very daggerfall

The combats surprisingly fun

[pine halo]

explain been years since daggerfall

[glass plinth]

Well, cities and such have ways to invest, schemes, real estate so on

Decorating is great for houses, very nms

[pine halo]

ok when u say real estate do u mean u tax people or u just buying houses or ?

[glass plinth]

Just you buy it, have payments per month, so on

lol its all quite tame compared to daggerfall, which had more depth

I also feel the games animations are a far cry better then fallout

[pine halo]

i like that

[glass plinth]

The other then i hear is, for most of the game, tell the end bit, there are few bugs of significance

towards the end though a few missions need work

hehe, thats ok considering the norm bethesda has. Its a improvement

even the nay sayers were saying that

[dry dirge]

https://youtu.be/gweMMv4RowI yass so excited

[pine halo]

never played it

[glass plinth]

How ya been Coyoti?

[dry dirge]

not great

[glass plinth]

awwww

Why so?

[dry dirge]

various reasons

I'd rather not talk about it rn tho

[glass plinth]

nods

[shadow tartan]

https://youtu.be/vKD3MgaAPBo?si=Z_LaHGcLT8poijfo

Sold

[glass plinth]

Lol

[ruby mesa]

Is Cyberpunk more like Far Cry, Dark Souls, or Mass effect?

[glass plinth]

Uuuuu

fallout?

Hahaha, sorry, i had to

Id say more mass effect

[ruby mesa]

I never played fallout for more than 15 minutes

[glass plinth]

Its very open world. Lota points of interest

[tame cairn]

I would say it’s not like any of those

[tame cairn]

god Finn looks so good!

Can’t get over it (deleted cuz spoiler tbh)

[dry copper]

Palia is a game where you pay real money to be a furry, dress in pajamas and decorate your fake house with literal garbage.

Keep watching that episode you'll get over it eventually

That was one of the most depressing periods of the entire show

[tame cairn]

What is that supposed to mean?

[dry copper]

The truth of what happened in Adventure Time

[tame cairn]

That’s the new show, that just came out

[dry copper]

Woo?

A new Adventure Time?

[tame cairn]

Fionna and Cake

is what it’s called

[dry copper]

...

[tame cairn]

Has more than just Fionna and Cake in it though

but is centered around them

It’s good, I think

So far

It’s also not PG anymore

It definitely is more than meets the eye

From what I can tell anyways

And I like seeing what my boy Finn is doing nowadays

[dry copper]

Good news broskies

The launch date for Starfield has come up a day

Used to be releasing Sep 6th

[mental rose]

Good thing I decided to wait on Starfield. 😄
Now hoping Phantom Liberty and update 2.0 ends up being better for CP2077

[sleek cloud]

last Saints Row was the final nail in the coffin

[silver sparrow]

you reckon

[dry copper]

the last saint in a row

[sleek cloud]

yep

[dry copper]

The last saints row was garbage

[snow solar]

Played Starfield for the first time and Im loving it so far, havent came across a single bug yet

[dry copper]

There is no way they didn't know it

I can only assume the publisher was pushing the developer

[sleek cloud]

You might already know but just in case you didn't know we have a channel for #1145350915172356166

Would explain why the development studio is closing down following its failure.

I'm guessing THQ are tightening their belts after the last few years of constant acquisitions.

Lets see whose next on the chopping block...

I'm surprised how biomutant rebounded after its pretty lame launch

Q1 revenues had a profit after 1 week of its buggy launch, at $391 million

So Experiment 101 won't likely be on the chopping block

Piranha Bytes is going to be locked in. They were greenlit two years ago to relaunch Gothic on a new engine

or three years ago....

Their performance with Elex 2 though left much to be desired

The number of studios that worked on Kingdoms of Amalur re-reckoning is a joke

If I had to guess, I'd put 38 Studios on the chopping block

Oh wait what....

Says bankrupt

Oh nm they worked on reckoning not re-reckoning. Records have them on re-reckoning because of its reuse of the original game

@daring spear Gonna need you to play Palia. I need an educated insight into its comparison with the disney game of similar inclination.

That disney game was the first thing I thought of playing it and if they're at all similar, I think the disney game will have a better monetization system with more content

Game EA for Disney Dreamlight started in Sep 2022 and said it would launch this year

[silver sparrow]

oh i assumed it was still garbage, is it better now?

looking for peoples

[ivory tendon]

SR3 and SR4 are both really good but the co-op is unstable at the best of times, SR3's remaster apparently couldn't bother fixing it, and the SR reboot is garbage. After all that, I don't think I'll miss volition. Whatever their reasons, they kept throwing

SR3 co-op is super fun... IF you can get it working

[fast badger]

you guys remember agents of mayhem?

like Volition had 2 bad games releases back to back

Most studios don't survive 1

I loved Volition cause it made a lot of awesome games but sometimes you lose the spark along the way

[sleek cloud]

Red Faction being a big one for me

[noble plank]

https://www.unilad.com/technology/red-dead-redemption-3-officially-confirmed-rockstar-games-948569-20230902?source=facebookstatic

rdr3 confirmed

[wintry vector]

YES

[silver sparrow]

Can they make my character walk faster ffs

[fast badger]

so thats why they ported Read dead 1 on switch and ps

and they charge like 50 bucks even tho its a really old game and it barely runs on switch

[coarse swift]

Red Dead 2 next gen port dead in a ditch

[strange dune]

Yes by only if you hit X 100 more times 🤣

[silver sparrow]

Bleah

[tame cairn]

poor rdo

[dreamy zinc]

Just follow the plan: "Just 1 more heist, then we got enough money, to get out of here"

[fast badger]

For all their controversies Rockstar does make good games

[austere lance]

That's what I was thinking, lol

[raven frost]

I kinda feel bad

I've done just about everything BRC has to offer and I'm sad about it

[strange dune]

Anyone else ever play absolver? I tried it once but quit after I got teamed on by 2 people and then got t-bagged

[raven frost]

oh absolver, this was on my wishlist for a while

[tame cairn]

Absolver is so good

Last I played it was kinda dead though

They’re made by the guys who made Sifu

Before Sifu

[strange dune]

Yeah

[tame cairn]

I like it’s fighting way more than Sifu though

[strange dune]

I’d like to get good at it but it seems to complicated. Just a lot of practice is needed I guess

[tame cairn]

It’s a type of game where yea, you need practice

It’s like For Honor but hand to hand

And you learn moves as you go along, putting together a deck.

Trying different combos in the deck to see what you like best.

[strange dune]

I just suck at the blocking

[tame cairn]

Ah

[dry dirge]

BRC?

[strange dune]

What’s that?

[raven frost]

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk

[dry dirge]

Oh, that's the funky game

Also any Forest players I could join? I’d ask in The Forest Discord but I need to verify my phone and I don’t have one

[daring spear]

Lol, I'll play it at some point I guess

[dry copper]

The faces these NPC make are legit disturbing

[daring spear]

She's got character

[fleet moat]

[thorn dawn]

and a noseful of ket

[glass plinth]

She is a very fiesty woman lol

I love her

Plus I know a girl like that at work, same face, same experessions

Boss says, GO move the pallets, after she moved them 3 times to different spots

Makes that face, boss looks at her like, oh god shes going to blow

Im seriously digging the random encounters on starfields. They are repetitive, but they are pretty dang well done.

Id imagine theyd be very easy to add more to the game via mods

[austere lance]

I mean, they said that players will be able to mod planets into the game. I'd imagine more encounters will be easy to add on comparison 😆
