Stupid ESO

Using Necrom to promote ESO at $7.49 Canadian

Necrom is nearly $30 ontop of that

[orchid fox]

Is that the expansion?

[dry copper]

Yes

The expansion isn't for sale at that low price, but they have the expansion as the promotion material for that price.

It's bait and switch

Violates Competition Act ( RSC , 1985, c. C-34) (52[1])

[orchid fox]

Wait its actually illegal? O_o

[dry copper]

Yes

Bait and switch promotions mislead the public

Undermines legit discounts

Funnels money

Companies offering legit discounts never see the light of day thanks to bigger names undermining competition with lies

Don't even need to actually sell or buy to violate the rule

Just false promotion

https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/c-34/section-52.html

Price is a material respect

I honestly think it must've been a mistake

I just saw the same ad on steam with different pricing

They probably prepped them all at the same time and neglected to put the proper picture with that price point

Man, boarding in X4 foundations is hard

It takes almost 114 recruits to capture a pirate capital ship with 21 defenders

[jagged ether]

best shitpost game ever existed (roblox)

[obtuse reef]

The capital ship is more just a waiting game tho. It offers basically no risk to you if you manage to take down the missile turrets

Which hurt like hell, mind you

But, the rewards heavily outweigh the costs, in both credits and lives

After almost 80 deaths of random people I found in space stations, I have gotten my first capital ship

even 1v1 I feel like tone can have the upper hand

especially at long range

I mean, I was definitely playing Titanfall at that time. I think.

you killed me like 20 times in one match

Reminder that Bethesda gave Preston Garvey a detailed af backstory in Fallout 4 but had to water it down because the devs didn't wanna delay the game for one character's story

Now only parts of his backstory exist in a place that is only mentioned once by Preston

[charred badge]

So the fact that he's the most annoying character in the game isn't entirely the writers' fault?

[dry copper]

lol. I got an email from GOG asking how I liked Cyberpunks new dlc

They didn't ask me how I liked cyberpunk when I bought it on launch

This is kinda funny

Think they might be trying to drum up feedback on people that bought the dlc

[mental rose]

That's not all... apparently you were supposed to be able to became BoS elder, but that route got cut as well

[dry copper]

That's why you gotta download and install Valkyrie

It restores that option along with securing all factions narratively so none get destroyed if properly addressed

Me when I played his trial run:

[signal forum]

@plain jewel Not even The Crow?

[plain jewel]

Which one exactly? I only watched one and it was pretty bad

[signal forum]

The original, that Bruce Lee's son died filming

[plain jewel]

Haven't watched that one. But from the synopsis it sounds bad

[signal forum]

From your perspective, probably. But for the genre, it was a masterpiece.

@plain jewel

[plain jewel]

I actually mistook it with The Raven, one of my least fav Poe's works. Never watched The Crow and never will

[signal forum]

Wasnt asking you to, but if you ever did have the desire to watch an antihero movie, total classic I'd recommend.

[plain jewel]

I know you weren't lol but thanks anyway

I'm pretty open to anything else in my life, but I'm extremely picky to a point it's extreme with movies, always have been

Neuv replenishes his own HP tho

I was hesitant with characters that drain their own HP too before, but Blade in Star Rail got me to ease up on that

HP loss seems to be the gimmick for Fontaine

The damage Neuv puts out is well worth the investment

[charred badge]

Why is bard so fun in bg3. I'm steamrolling act 1 with orc swords bard, fighter, sorcerer/wizard, cleric

The class dialogue options are fun, too.

Similar kinda more like BOTW RPG

The problem is it directly rips off other games and has a horrible community and dev team

Like they have a boss that copies the exact moves of the Ancestor Spirit from Elden Ring

[obtuse reef]

Best combat is Destiny 2 glaive and vampire gauntlets

It is really funny to face tank like 40 enemies and poke them to death with your pointy stick

Or Titanfall melee only

It’s funny as hell and it works too well

[charred badge]

It's a fair question to ask before getting emotionally invested in any mtx-heavy game.

[charred badge]

Like Destiny 2. Now I can't get into the game and expect to continue playing content whenever I feel like without it suddenly evaporating or costing more money to continue

[obtuse reef]

I only got witch queen and beyond light, I am not paying $60 for a subclass and a campaign

[charred badge]

Meanwhile GW2, I bought an expansion and can trust that the content will still be there if I ever get enough time to start clearing it

[austere lance]

I pre-ordered the game and bought all the expansions up to Shadowkeep, I dropped it after that tho

[charred badge]

And I won't hit a pile of paywalls for normal levelling

[austere lance]

It's not worth it. Reject Destiny, embrace Warframe 😌

[raven frost]

yeah no shadowsleep is where I stopped I think

not like warframe is much better these days...

drop both, you can do better

[charred badge]

Warframe is intimidating now, sheesh.
I roll in with my strun wraith, forma'd to the moon nezha, stupid good zaw, etc, and... feel weak.

So much content dropped that I have no idea what to do

[austere lance]

If EA had actually let Bioware do their Anthem 2.0 update it might have become an actual Destiny competitor, but noooooo. It died, Outriders showed up and failed as competition, and Destiny still lives for some fuckin reason 💀

[obtuse reef]

Deep Rock is the one game that I love buying expansions for. Ghost Ship is such a good company and I want to keep supporting them

[austere lance]

I started playing like six months ago and I've beaten everything there is to do in the game, the only things that require effort anymore are Archon Hunts and some Steel Path stuff 😆

[obtuse reef]

I play destiny every now and then, but it’s not my favorite game at all

[austere lance]

I hope my copy of Cyberpunk shows up today like it's supposed to, I require dystopian RPG trauma

[raven frost]

I'm frustrated by destiny mostly because at it's core destiny feels rather nice to play, it's just the literal rest of the game that blows

[obtuse reef]

I make fun of my friend for playing 2077 because of the -ahem- “Funtime bed scenes”

[austere lance]

[orchid fox]

I know but still OOF

[snow zenith]

Congratulations

Your diaphragm works

[raven frost]

But not for much longer.

but in all fairness, redfall never really seemed all that compelling to me either way

still a shame to see someone's hard work, even if it was something they didn't want to do, fall by the wayside

[austere lance]

Arkane hasn't made a good game since Prey, ain't nobody ready for that conversation tho

[snow zenith]

Redfall by the wayside

[austere lance]

And all the devs who made their good games left the studio years ago and started their own studios, like the one that made Weird West

[raven frost]

man

I still gotta wonder if both infinite and redfall flopping was partially the reason starfield turned out the way it did

probably saw both of those games flop and ms went "bethesda do NOT fuck this up"

and the result was a game that honestly feels like it doesn't take risks

[coarse swift]

As I said, not unpacking it. Just tired of feeling the need to convince anyone that you should at least try the game first and make a decision.
So many people are gonna have negative perception of Genshin because "gacha bad anime bad its just a BOTW clone" even though they've literally never played the game. At the end of the day, I'm enjoying it, and that's all that matters to me.

Actually funny now hearing people still comparing it to BotW when they're nothing alike

[raven frost]

the reputation its gathered is enough to put me off of it, and that's saying something even for me tbh

I'm in a lot of circles and I'm pretty sure every single one of them will nail me to a cross for playing it

[coarse swift]

sorry to hear that

How someone else feels about me playing a game changes nothing

Wasn't looking for their approval in the first place

[snow zenith]

Ceryn bad

[long beacon]

I’m gonna force myself to play redfall again just so I can Smooth out gamer score cause they decided to make achievements an odd number

7 or something per most

[raven frost]

would probably be easier if I even had an interest in the first place

[coarse swift]

[mortal stone]

I've been playing starfield now for 2 weeks and I'm really disappointed. Because I'm a big Bethesda fan. But starfield sucks. No mans sky is better

Starfield is so bland. Even fertile worlds look ugly and bland. There's no alien life. Which I find weird. Because in all the elder Scrolls titles there were a multitude of distant species of elves and creatures.

Starfield just isn't cutting it for me. Fast travel or traveling by ship is tedious and boring.
I much prefer no mans sky teleporters even though I have a few gripes.

The spaceship building in starfield is just a huge disappointment.
There's no freighter in starfield either?

I'm really not feeling it. What's wrong? Do I need mods of some kind. I'm just not into it. I'm more engrossed with no mans sky. And I loved dagger fall Oblivion and Skyrim even fallout looked more aesthetically pleasing than starfield and it's set in a radioactive wasteland

I feel like I don't get it because starfield was so hyped up

[charred badge]

NMS is another one that dropped an intimidating amount of content since the last time I was into it

...is part of the reason I like classic games the fact that they don't suddenly explode in complexity? Perhaps.

Minecraft was one of the first ones to leave me behind

Just wanted my "collect blocks and stack them into buildings" game, and then it went all action survival on me. Terraria too, now that I think about it.

[mortal stone]

I like complexity. As many games like 7 days to die or rust can be played simplicticly or if you want to keep interested. You can delve into electronics and such and keep interested in the long games when stuff gets too easy repetitive and boring

[fluid hare]

You don’t have to interact with the action survival parts. You can just make a creative world and build in peace.

[charred badge]

Creative is too simple, though. Not needing to do anything for building materials feels bad.

It's a very niche issue, I realize.

The frustration comes from it fitting the need perfectly, and then updating away from it

[fluid hare]

Ah.

You can just play older versions.

[charred badge]

Well, not at the moment. I missed the account migration window, so my account is gone.

[mortal stone]

Correct. And boring.

If a game isn't challenging. It's a doll's House. Like the Sims with an unlimited money cheat. It's a pointless dolls house

I don't get why some people enjoy it. But some people do..

You do you I do me 🤔

But I'm an old school arcade gamer I want the challenges

I play with permadeath.

Full survival. It just makes things more immersive and realistic.. you've got to be careful and not act as if you're a cartoon character that can just respawn.

Oh and btw surviving and fighting is just so much easier with a pc and keyboard and mouse than with any controller even the most expensive

Keyboards and mice rule over even 200 dollar controllers no competition

[austere lance]

I try playing Minecraft every couple of years and it feels exactly the same as the last time I played it, idk where these magical changes are but I never notice them 😆

[mortal stone]

A 10 dollar mouse beats a 200 controller like it's a bitch

[quaint escarp]

its really just mods and servers

[quaint escarp]

just say you are bad with controllers lol

[mortal stone]

Everyone is bad with controllers. Go and look at top 100 players. Virtually all are pc users

Keyboard and mouse is just infinitely more controllable. If you think you can be as precise with a controller. Even with gyro. You're high.

A high definition Lazer mouse is just 300 times more accurate, responsive and faster. Proof

[quaint escarp]

never asked plus use what you like. dont care for competitive stats its cringe

[mortal stone]

Your opinion is irrelevant.. the point is there's a reason why. And that's because a mouse is superior. End of story

[quaint escarp]

🤡

[mortal stone]

Console gamers are more numerous. Yet mouse users are always dominating top ,100 leader boards. Facts are facts.
Facts don't care about your feelings or opinions

[quaint escarp]

fact is you are a sad person

[crisp sparrow]

Ben Shapiro if he was a gamer

[mortal stone]

A mouse is just better. Faster. Higher resolution . Better precision control. You just can't compete with a controller..

[quaint escarp]

i use both you are the same type of person to platform war lol

[mortal stone]

Again. Puerile insults and irrelevant emotions are an erroneous retort .

[quaint escarp]

i dont need statistics to tell me how to play a game

[weak tiger]

Let’s keep the channel and server rules in mind @mortal stone @quaint escarp . Stay civil and respectful of each other and different opinions.

We’re all here to have a good time

[quaint escarp]

controller or mnk its all the same if you have fun

[mortal stone]

I don't give a flying fuck about platform wars this is nothing to do with platforms.. are you blind? It's about Lazer mouse bs controllers.

If you could use a mouse on an Xbox. It would be the same as a mouse on a pc. Platform is irrelevant

[weak tiger]

I use both controller and mnk too depends on the game

[quaint escarp]

yes you are not in those top 100 players so calm down

[mortal stone]

No I'm not. I don't multiplayer. But I do use steam and do have access to the leader boards

[coarse swift]

https://tenor.com/view/perfect-popcorn-michael-jackson-gif-26271837

[mortal stone]

I wish Xbox had mouse support they're cheaper a mouse is better. I don't give a fuck about platforms. I just prefer a mouse

[quaint escarp]

ok so you are arguing for a group of ppl you dont even belong to?

[crisp sparrow]

of mice and men

[quaint escarp]

i play comp games i use mnk for some i use controller for some

[austere lance]

Haven't used M&KB in like 15 years, never had a problem using controllers for any type of game

[crisp sparrow]

I have never used a controller never even touched one

[quaint escarp]

it doesnt matter unless you are a pro esport player if you have fun

[weak tiger]

again, it’s about what’s fun. If you prefer mouse, good for you! I’ve been using a controller for almost everything but a couple games.

[mortal stone]

I'm just highlighting that a high Res mouse is superior to a controller. And twat face wants to imply it's a platform war.. I don't give a toss about platforms or brands.

[austere lance]

Aaaaaand he got muted

[quaint escarp]

civil

[crisp sparrow]

chill uncle

[mortal stone]

I just prefer mouse and keyboard regardless of platform

[crisp sparrow]

You're too lenient

Glad I was here for it

[grand mica]

Hehe

[quaint escarp]

@coarse swift get art book for knova

[grand mica]

Let me know if you receive a DM. 😉

[coarse swift]

That's her decision and I'm pretty sure she wont see a point to it

[crisp sparrow]

yeah like why does it matter if something is objectively better or not anyway I know its objectively better to not smoke but here I am

[quaint escarp]

gotta smoke the better stuff

[weak tiger]

Honestly doesn’t matter what the ✨leaderboards✨ say, I’m garbage with mnk for FPS lmao

[quaint escarp]

oh im super average in all comp games

[grand mica]

I'm just garbage.

[quaint escarp]

i just use whats comfy

[coarse swift]

My question tbh is who gives a fuck about competitive leaderboards
Just enjoy your games lol

[quaint escarp]

i play java minecraft with a controller with custom layout with steam bc i find it better

[weak tiger]

I wish there was a reliable wireless xbox controller I could use with PC :/ wired is good but the cable gets in the way

[crisp sparrow]

ok but you play creative its objectively wrong bro /s

[quaint escarp]

do you use the xbox wireless adapter?

i use it and its better than the bluetooth

havent had too many issues

none now

[crisp sparrow]

I started and finished watching the cp2077 anime today, that was some badass stuff

[coarse swift]

Back when I used to play creative some tool said "isnt that the gamemode for kids?"
that statement backfired

[weak tiger]

I do not didn’t know that was a thing! I just plug my wired controller in with the USB. I’ll have to look into that :).

[crisp sparrow]

why did it backfire? did they turn into a child?

zapped into pre puberty?

[quaint escarp]

oh no blizzard is making a new game

[coarse swift]

You're asking me to explain something, that requires effort

[quaint escarp]

it isnt starcraft

[coarse swift]

Simple explanation: no one agreed with him

[raven frost]

although I prefer mouse and keyboard for most applications my take on it is mostly do whatever the fuck works for you lmao

[crisp sparrow]

overwatch 3

[raven frost]

I use kb/m for just about everything except for racing/flight games, where I'll use a controller (or a HOTAS setup even, if applicable)

like genuinely nobody gives a shit about which is better

unless like you're in the competitive scene I GUESS

[quaint escarp]

yeah but who cares about sweaty nerds

[raven frost]

a lot more than you'd think sadly

[quaint escarp]

i actively dislike using mnk for single player games

[coarse swift]

hit or miss for me

Sometimes mnk feels alot better

[quaint escarp]

cant sit back

[raven frost]

it really depends on the game for me

[coarse swift]

yep

[quaint escarp]

i just like sitting back and gaming

[coarse swift]

It is possible to slouch while using mnk

Just gotta master it

[raven frost]

https://tenor.com/u7q1.gif

[crisp sparrow]

controller seems like a generous investment

maybe I'll get one of those chinese ones

[quaint escarp]

so like this?

[raven frost]

oh hey that's me

[crisp sparrow]

but idk I've never used one am I not too old to learn it

will it actually be a better experience

[quaint escarp]

@crisp sparrow if you are looking to buy one check gulikit, no stick drift

[coarse swift]

nah just use a N64 controller

thats a great introduction

[raven frost]

okay but how are you really supposed to hold an N64 controller

like honest question

[crisp sparrow]

thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately its as expensive as the money I am left with after paying off my loan

[quaint escarp]

if i didnt splurge on my current controller i would get a gulikit controller

[crisp sparrow]

indian economy is built different

[quaint escarp]

ah ouch

[coarse swift]

isnt it obvious?

[raven frost]

[quaint escarp]

whos holding the middle

[weak tiger]

I want to be swaddled in blankets while gaming

[charred badge]

I'm basically the opposite, heh. I use a controller unless a game specificallyrequires it.
It's a joint paint/posture thing for me.

[quaint escarp]

why are their thumbs abnormally large

[raven frost]

have you considered bathrobes

[quaint escarp]

it isnt the same

ive tried

[weak tiger]

I’m not really comfortable while using mnk, where my forearms sort of rest on the edge of the desk. I think that’s my desk being an uncomfortable height for it, maybe?

[austere lance]

I sit on couch with blanket on my lap cuz I'm always cold, lol

[quaint escarp]

i like the cold

[charred badge]

It depends on the game. It was designed to allow different grips based on the needs of the game. The stick is supposed to be able to flex between hands

[weak tiger]

I have a thing that’s basically a weighted fluffy bathrobe and it’s super comfy but I also like having a nest of blankets to rearrange around if that makes sense

[raven frost]

fair

[quaint escarp]

wormy likes to have a nest

[raven frost]

I love bathrobes

[charred badge]

N64 was back in the early days of analog sticks, and nintendo didn't know what would settle in

[raven frost]

sometimes I wonder if they still don't

[quaint escarp]

use this

[charred badge]

Have you considered

[weak tiger]

I need to get my super fluffy socks out of Winter Clothes Jail. Weather went from hot and bad to cold and rainy real quick

[quaint escarp]

super fluffy socks should be year round imo

[weak tiger]

You’re so right

[raven frost]

still hot as balls here sadly

[quaint escarp]

it warmed up to 80s this week

will go back down

[raven frost]

still in the 90s regularly here 🙃

[quaint escarp]

i like 60s

what do i eat then

[charred badge]

Cereal puffins

[quaint escarp]

that doesnt contain meat

[obtuse reef]

The reason Gunter takes like three hours to respond is because he lives in Antarctica

Also, you actually want to go to mars for the cold

[charred badge]

Not Australia? Gotta send texts by pigeon there

[obtuse reef]

It’s got a nice warm high of 10 degrees Fahrenheit

[quaint escarp]

but yeah i want to move a little further north so i can enjoy more cold days and use gaming pc for heater

[obtuse reef]

On a good, summer afternoon

Also, Mars has a half decent atmosphere, good iron content in the soil

Well, it as an atmosphere

[weak tiger]

I love rainy mid 50s to mid 60s weather

[obtuse reef]

It’s essentially being microwaved, but not warm

[quaint escarp]

i like thunder days

the air feels crisp

prob the ions

[obtuse reef]

I hate snow with such a burning passion (pun intended), I am considering purchasing a flamethrower so I don’t have to shovel the drive

[weak tiger]

ah hell yeah

[quaint escarp]

dont shovel the drive

[weak tiger]

Snow is fun, but ice is really scary can be hard to see on the road

[quaint escarp]

just stay home until it melts

[obtuse reef]

That sounds fun until you realize that food is extremely necessary and that greyhounds have maybe 12k calories per dog

[quaint escarp]

let them loose on the neighborhood kids

[obtuse reef]

That’s what the unspeakable horror I have locked in the boiler room for

I just wish it’d stop whispering to me when I sleep

No, I’m not going to perform a blood sacrifice, shut up and eat your Cinnamon Life

[thorn dawn]

Just drive fast so you don't notice yourself dying

[weak tiger]

Please stay over there

[thorn dawn]

https://tenor.com/view/back-on-the-road-cat-driving-gif-15845693290177396231

[obtuse reef]

Drive fast enough to fly over the ice

On one hand, you might crash and kill someone, on the other hand it’ll look fucken awesome when you do so

[charred badge]

Unironically good advice for dealing with ice: if you're on a patch of ice and the way ahead is safe, keep going without turning. If there's distance to coast to a stop, do that. Turning tends to sacrifice any grip you have left.

It’s like Thplo- er, Splot.

[modern panther]

How I love playing Overwatch 2, getting one half decent play as tank, and then seeing the enemies switch to Orisa, Bastion, Symettra, and Kiriko

Which is a comp that completely obliterates tanks

But when I get a full team wipe as Illari or stop a storm of ults as Lifeweaver the enemy team either doesn't switch or in like 1/12 cases one enemy switches to a flanker

[obtuse reef]

I might try the lottery, because you’re the first human being who I have confirmed is human beyond a shadow of a doubt that actually enjoys OW2

The luck is insane

[modern panther]

I do like it

But having you do moderately well in one role and having the whole enemy team switch to counter you?

That ain't fun

What is fun though is calling them out on it, watching them stammer out a response, and then watching my dps roll them because turns out that switching to counter one player leaves you very open

[obtuse reef]

Which is why I like games like EVE Online. It’s basically just a rock paper scissors match, but the great thing is that you can’t actually plan ahead

You never know who or what is gonna jump you

I think the only true counter to anything is a titan, but even then you can just circle around it and kick the shit out of it

OW2 deserved to get a shit review

They pulled a bait and switch on that product

[austere lance]

I'm not that far, I just finished the heist last night and got through all the interactive cutscene crap afterwards 😆

[mental rose]

Right, the interlude. Lot of context in there that you can't skip

[quaint escarp]

its not a game its a set lol

[austere lance]

Yep, did all that and did the funny "put on clothes and eat food" optional objectives then saved my game and hopped off for the night cuz I had opening shift today 😆

[inland path]

holy crap, does that game get bigger every month?

[kind wolf]

its evolving

[inland path]

I uninstalled NMS again

I can't play the game anymore

I also uninstalled The Elder Scrolls Online after 6k hrs

I'm too bored with it, I've done pretty much every content

[austere lance]

Simply play new games

[tame cairn]

😦

i liked it

also i am watching ac mirage

it looks pretty good

[mental rose]

I think it's still getting the occasional update, before getting shut down leading to Survival Ascended

But at least now they're promising a discount on it for existing owners of ARK

[inland path]

Ascended is the "succesor" to Evolved?

[mental rose]

Yea, it's a remaster

[raven frost]

this time it'll take 600GB of space

[austere lance]

[dry copper]

I honestly think AC Mirage is going to be the worst received AC ever

I hope for their sake it has an incredible story

Because promos have been dogshit

Trailers shit

No story trailer

Another AC in an arabic or european country in and or around the dark ages is just meh

[orchid fox]

all dlcs would like to have a word with u lol

i own every single one and it takes a fourth of my ssd

[austere lance]

It's been out for like two days, reviews are good from the big websites and player reviews are weirdly polarizing

[raven frost]

I was gonna say victorian AC but like

[austere lance]

Either they love it for doing what the devs said it'd do or they hate it for not doing enough

[raven frost]

syndicate exists

imagine an AC set in the 1930's

would be weird

[dry copper]

Assassins Creed: Irish immigrant lol

Gangs of New York all over again

[quaint escarp]

eh if by good you mean mediocre

[tame cairn]

from what i’ve seen so far I would like Mirage

[quaint escarp]

its a filler game

[tame cairn]

the parkour looks fun and the city

[quaint escarp]

and ubi knows

but if you just want old ac stealth then its fine

[dry copper]

I'm waiting until I hear about the story in passing. If it doesn't catch my attention, I have already played the best AC game ever made.

[quaint escarp]

saw a review that said it might be the worst ac story

[tame cairn]

true tho it is

[quaint escarp]

how much is it?

[tame cairn]

i doubt it tbh

valhalla was pretty bad

[dry copper]

You can't get worse than the story of Syndicate

[quaint escarp]

the story of mirage isnt linear

[dry copper]

I hated that ending so much

[quaint escarp]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZmUtEsgGq0

[tame cairn]

i can’t even remember the ending of syndicate so it must have been bad

[dry copper]

I'll give you a hint.
Aliens.

[tame cairn]

oh

i think ik

Basim seems more interesting to me than Eivor

When I played Valhalla he was

I thought I was gonna like be able to choose to go Assassin

or viking

but it was like, no

just viking

it was going towards assassins for a bit

to reel you in

then it was just like nah

[dry copper]

Valhalla....The home of assassins.

[tame cairn]

lol

vikings…
the protags of an ac game

[dry copper]

I tried to get into Valhalla, but it turned into a sandbox waaaaaaay too fast.

[tame cairn]

yeah i played it all the way through, it wasn’t good

I’ve pretty much played all of them through, except rogue

haven’t played that one at all

[dry copper]

The whole idea of a sandbox is for the fun to be in it to be had already...Nobody goes into a sandbox and is like....Lets dig around and look for fun. You don't blame a kid for not finding the cat shit in the sandbox.

I can't play rogue

I refuse to play as a templar.

Fuck that shit

[quaint escarp]

i mean the whole trilogy was more an open world rpg than ac

[tame cairn]

understandable

[quaint escarp]

odyssey, valhalla. and origin

they arent ac games

[tame cairn]

origins is, i actually like that one

that’s the beginning of them, with an alright story

[dry copper]

The whole idea that they get you hooked on the story and then they're like.....Wanna be the baddie now? The ones you already kicked the shit out of for like three games?

[tame cairn]

odyssey literally has 0 assassins

like, completely absent from the game

[dry copper]

I don't wanna play the loser of the story for RP purposes.

There is no sympathy for the devil in Rogue

A real missed opportunity imo

The only way they were going to truly sell an AC game where you play the bad guy was if they sold the good guys as a lie from the very start

...They easily could've

You're killing people. People have loved ones.

Create the branching narratives that beg the question whether your actions are justified or just a symptom of another poison

But then that wouldn't make mass murder as fun

Can't be an AC game with morality as a cornerstone

...Only an end table

[quaint escarp]

yeah a lot of the consensus for mirage is that it shouldve just stuck to being a valhalla dlc

[austere lance]

Shay shows the issues with both sides of the war

[dry copper]

You hear that Italy has had a three month stretch of 0 births?

That's a lot of no nasty

[raven frost]

that's kind of alarming lmao

[fast badger]

No way blizzard has really hit rock bottom

Also not my steam account it's just a pic

[obtuse reef]

Blizzard has hit rock bottom so many times they need to be considered a mining company

[fast badger]

Really good point

[obtuse reef]

But if they were a mining company they’d have to stop mistreating their female employees

It's hard to have sympathy for the guy who picked a fight with the company that gave him 1/3 of his company's revnue

[dry copper]

wow...I mean...a per seat license is just fucking weird in light of the backlash Unity got for a similar mentality

[thorn dawn]

they're not targetting game developers though

[dry copper]

Did they just go ....Unity fucked themselves...hold my beer?

[thorn dawn]

movie studio's have deep pockets

[dry copper]

Ah.

That's at least somewhat reassuring

[thorn dawn]

it's just comical though

[dry copper]

Unreal for movies is a big thing

[thorn dawn]

how can you not make money off of fortnite

CEO's failing to improve a company is one thing but it's a rarity for one of them to actually nose dive the company

https://tenor.com/view/elon-musk-smoke-smoking-well-maybe-gif-12516944

[dry copper]

Realistically they probably do make money but they aren't making as much as they're promising, so they get to call not making two billion a profit loss when they projected it.

I hate companies that get to call not making projected profits, a loss

That's not a loss asshole...That's a bad projection

That cigar looks so disgusting

Look at me I suck on burning sticks for enjoyment

[fluid hare]

They smell disgusting too.

from what i have read, Microsoft is in the process of purchasing Blizzard..
"As of September 20223, the merger looks more likely to succeed, though no one truly knows when. The original deadline for the merger to complete was July 18th, however this was subsequently extended to October 18th. We’ve compiled a recap to keep you abreast of the Microsoft Activision Blizzard deal’s trials and tribulations."
..gross..

[glossy kestrel]

So much context... in-depth lore tht is not explained in the series!
I generally love Charlies videos cuz he explains things in much much more detail then ppl realize https://youtu.be/dkgTwj8FShk?si=w9cHHKr48_TqKX0D

[fast badger]

Dlc for Lies of Pee confirmed

I hope they have more fun and challenging bosses

[mental rose]

They recently won the case against FTC. So by all accounts the deal is ongoing again

[obtuse reef]

On the bright side, Microsoft can’t run this one into the ground, mostly because Blizzard is so run so far into the ground the Terraria cavern theme is playing

[mental rose]

The one hope everyone has when the deal does go through, is Bobby Kotick getting the boot

But we shall see

Demonic Cabbage Patch doll lookin mfer needs to go, lol

Mfer lookin like Smeagol before he got the ring, gtfo 🤣

He has eggs inside of him

Now we wait

[mental rose]

Good choice. Rhino is the most noob-friendly Warframe, that's also viable to mid and even end-game 😉

That takes me back...

[pure zinc]

I wanted to get him cos I wanted to recreate doom guy

Usually I play Yareli

[calm bone]

why make people who arent making games to pay more for them not making games

[calm bone]

ill be damned people still play this game

[mental rose]

:cough:

[calm bone]

ah that seems more like it

[mental rose]

Most likely too little, too late 😄

[calm bone]

i legit thought everyone abanonded this game lol

[calm bone]

hey i might play it not for story not for characters but for the fact it isnt action focused bullshit but assassain focused fun

[dry copper]

There needs to be pirate ship survival that isn't a battle royale

I'm watching Banshee, it's weird seeing Antony before he started being Homelander 😆

I am so confused by this advertisement for occupy mars.

ThePlayWay did a music video 20 dumb ways to die on mars and the company bought the rights to the video just so they could turn it into a commercial

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2H1ZH9i0ApM

[quaint escarp]

and thats fine but its going to push the agenda that they tried to go back to the old formula and failed and will point to mirage as "look we tried to make classic ac it didnt work now we will go back to action rpg open world"

think i said that if you just want the classic stealth ac combat then the game is fine

if you want anything else then it falls super flat

[calm bone]

yeah

i didnt even know mirage was put

out

[quaint escarp]

yeah theres not too much marketing for this bc its not a main title

[calm bone]

yeah

[quaint escarp]

if next ac game is another open world rpg then yeah we are never getting a stealth main title

prob save your money for black flag remake

How have I used Monarch before, but never realized how tanky it is??!?

[tame cairn]

ngl though

arabic assassin design goes hard

im a sucker for assassin focused ac games

like unity

actually bigger than i thought it was gonna be

[snow zenith]

Er, do you mean arabic

The game is set in modern-day Iraq

[tame cairn]

oh my bad, my geography is bad

either way i like it

Imagine being Drake rn. Dude put a child in a music video during an actors strike.

So not only is he using children for labor in his music videos, he doesn't even afford them basic actors rights

Furthermore, nepotism.

Yay for nepotism, child exploitation and violating the actors guild

If his son ever hopes to become an actor one day, he gets to wear the tag "scab" as his first job title

Remake of the first Deus Ex would be ideal, imo. So long as it's done right
