Have you played risk of rain 2? It’s procedural. Not 2D though. More mini open world

[dreamy zinc]

and literally overwhelmingly positive

[languid oriole]

You mean ROR2?

ROR is 2D

[inland oasis]

Yea I did mean #2 lol.

[sly mesa]

that isn´t open world right?

[inland oasis]

Not open world in the usual sense

But open as in you can wander wherever you please in a small instanced level

Deff one of my personal fave rouge likes

[dreamy zinc]

so basically dungeons 😄

[inland oasis]

I mean yea. Essentially. Only not in a cave 💀

[dreamy zinc]

like i said before dungeons crawler/Overworld + roguelikes should be his cup of tea

[inland oasis]

Procedural 2D is quite specific lol. Can’t even think of many games like that myself

[dreamy zinc]

as i said before 2d == indie => quality >quanitiy

unless they make a roguelike

but then most of the times you have a dungeon crawler 😄

[dry copper]

Gunna need to see specific content policy changes they're concerned about.

I read the update from october. They carved out gaming as dramatized content for most of the policy changes and changed only where violence is gratuitous and that's going to be very difficult/impossible to establish whether violence is gratuitous objectively in dramatized content.

The whole policy change just looks like an attempt at google to pull in more advertisers

https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9725604?hl=en (see "Harmful acts and unreliable content")

I just don't see the policy change having any teeth

[restive current]

https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/10291745?sjid=149360934208845674-AP

Featuring profanity or vulgarity at the start or throughout the majority of your gaming videos might result in monetization status changes. Infrequent or occasional use of profanity (such as in music videos, backing tracks, intro/outro music or music played in the background) within your content won’t necessarily result in your video being unsuitable for advertising.```

Problem is...YouTube gets to decide HOW vulgar your video is.

[dry copper]

Realistically that's not even a new change.

There's a reason people who swear wait 60 seconds into their video

The algorithm is looking for profanity inside of the first minute and automatically categorizes the content as not ad safe if it has profanities

Ad safe doesn't mean it won't get ads ever, but advertisers won't buy ad space on content that's not ad safe from someone that doesn't have a large following

[restive current]

That's just one reason, though.

There's other below...

Violence, sexual content, politics...

[dry copper]

They're probably trying to avoid becoming the lynch pin of truth social spreading misinformation next year

[restive current]

Graphic game violence in the thumbnail or in the first 8 to 15 seconds of the video.

    “Graphic game violence” includes brutal killings or severe injuries focusing on bodily fluids and parts such as beheadings and dismemberment.

    Graphic law enforcement such as visible injuries; dead bodies with obvious injury or damage in educational or documentary settings (such as a history learning channel); graphic game violence in a thumbnail or early on in the content; raw footage of armed conflict without injuries; description of graphic details of tragedies; dramatized displaying severe and shocking injuries.```

So if you accidentally upload a GTA V clip with a bunch of dead cops, no revenue.

[dry copper]

Looks like a challenge to editors, not a prohibition on the content.

[restive current]

I agree.

But again...

[restive current]

This.

[dry copper]

It's their platform. Who should?

That isn't a problem. That's accountability.

If they don't moderate anything, than they are no better than the people spreading the lies.

[restive current]

Except they can decide your video doesn't fit their terms even if your video is clean.

[dry copper]

They can't be accountable if they can't moderate.

They've always had that authority though.

The devil's in the details and the consequences are what follows them.

[restive current]

No, what I'm saying is that they don't need the details to take you out.

They can take you out without any real reason.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wFqblQY6Dk

[dry copper]

A) They always could. B) They'd have a very hard time if you either had 1) A large channel with an audience or 2) Access to a large audience through another network, like say...Social media influencers that regularly expose Youtube making shitty decisions about enforcement.

[restive current]

This is an example of that.

Now, granted, Rossman's talking about paying for views, but the core problem is that YouTube suddenly started pushing the mentioned channel out of people's view.

You don't just lose thousands of subscribers.

[dry copper]

I have a hard time taking Rossmann seriously most of the time. He has his own interpretation of rules that deliberately pits him as some underdog being wronged

[restive current]

He's not talking about himself.

[restive current]

And I don't really think so, at least from all the videos I've seen.

AFAIK, laws are made for people. Not the other way around.

[dry copper]

https://tenor.com/view/law-police-judge-cop-dredd-gif-8606130

People are made for law

Sorry I had to

[restive current]

I know. 😆

[dry copper]

In this video rossmann is revealing a problem and drawing conclusions that are conspiratorial at best. I'm not saying youtube is in the right and I can appreciate that something is wrong here, but then to turn around and ascribe malice where corporate stupidity (which he openly mocked in the same video) is just ....counter intuitive.

That's like calling someone dumb and then blaming their dumb actions on corruption instead of being dumb.

They aren't mutually exclusive, but one can not ride the tide and then blame the tide for the bad experience

People who use youtube in the hope of building a business should be doing what people like Defranco do.

Patreon

Merchandise

In-line advertising

[restive current]

The problem is that those supposedly 'dumb' actions add to corruption.

The malice...is in not fixing those actions.

Which makes it corruption.

Making a stupid decision and then not fixing it...is malicious.

There's no 2 ways about it.

[dry copper]

This is the merch company defranco uses

https://fourthwall.com/

[restive current]

And I agree.

That doesn't make it right for YouTube to screw people over.

[dry copper]

It's funny. Youtube could earn money by offering content creators merchandising infrastructure built right into their service model and they'd be primed to both market and distribute

Instead, they're watching content creators drift right out the door and branch out, rather than diversify their own portfolios

They'd save money in lost advertising and earn money in sales, getting on the band wagon

[restive current]

Coming up with creative ideas is 'difficult' work, though.

[dry copper]

Google owns a huge analytics network. They would have exclusive access to a HUGE market to survey in their own stores

[restive current]

Why do the work of building the infrastructure for long term sustainability when you can milk it all for short-term share-holder profits?

[dry copper]

because short term profits cut your nose off to spite your face and knock you down at the knees.

They're weak both short and long term

Long term improves dividends for all future short term efforts.

Also I don't believe they're doing anything short term. They're just that incompetent.

Too many cooks in the kitchen

https://tenor.com/view/toomanycooks-killer-gif-3577067

The frequency in which their policies get updated indicates a significant shift in motivation

and the fact the policies change so frequently indicates a lack of commitment or understanding problems in policy management

If the forests were managed this poorly, we'd be wiping out asses with bare hands.

[restive current]

Every single company and corporation only looks to short-term profits.

[dry copper]

Only?

[restive current]

The next quarter's bottom line is all that matters to them.

[dry copper]

Maybe to investors but not all corporations need investors to function

IE - Microsoft

They have an incentive and that muddies things, but they also do a lot of stupid shit on the side

Valve Corporation

Microsoft is worth so much and invested in so much infrastructure, they can buy out an entire market and had to be stopped by governments to prevent their building a monopoly. They don't need to worry about investors...They do that anyway because there are bonuses for people involved, but to say they ONLY do short term profits implies they aren't involved in other philanthropic enterprises...which is just not true

I'm no champion for corporations...I hate that they get personhood in this world

They should never have been granted that power.

The shit some corporations get away with because they can hide away from accountability where liability is a concern behind corporatocracy and then leverage their personhood to justify their right to manipulate elections...makes me sick

but that doesn't mean they do everything for short term profits

They have to invest in long term too.

It is the wave behind the tide

Valve Corporation is Gabe Newells baby

aka Steam

They're mostly dipping their wick in temp technologies to corner future markets

After what they did with the steam controller, I don't think I'll ever buy a valve exclusive item (as much as I want their VR headset)

(Valve Index)

[restive current]

Their philanthropy doesn't make the slightest dent in their profits.

Which...defeats the whole point.

[restive current]

The only investment they ever do for long term is to create new ways to make profits.

Capitalism is the only goal they ever have.

Everything else is irrelevant to them.

[dry copper]

Capitalism is an economic model. Identify how that is a goal.

If the argument is that they're promoting capitalism, uh...no. They aren't. They don't have to. Capitalism promotes itself.

Beyond this, there's nothing inherently wrong with that.

The issue with capitalism has never been the definition. It has only ever been its execution, but that's the case with any and all economic models. They all have a means to be corrupted...and they all need proper regulation.

and none of them have it perfect at all times

Not saying Microsoft is great, but I certainly appreciate Bill Gates taking some of the fat stacks he got from it to help eliminate Malaria

Also and as a result of people refusing to buy into a malaria cure, the virus has been able to mutate resistance to artemisinins

This will result in a resurgence of the virus by 2026

[restive current]

I'd discuss this further, but my point is that profits are their only goal. They do not re-invest those profits in making society better, even their local communities near their offices. The only re-investment is done to increase profits as time goes by. Creating unlimited profits and simply pocketing them rather than re-investing them completely into causes other than making the few individuals (whether management or share-holders) rich at the expense of others.

[dry copper]

If malaria were not so deadly, it would have taken a much firmer hold on the world

Warmer climates=more mosquitos=more chances of malaria

[restive current]

Yes, we get a lot of mosquitoes here.

[dry copper]

Every year now we get malaria reports in Ontario

Warnings to not let standing water on your property remain

[restive current]

I live in an apartment, so yes, we don't have water logged in our homes.

[mental rose]

Is that why game industry is in such a shitty place right now?

[restive current]

Though we do get water-logging in monsoon during heavy rains due to a sloped terrain.

C'est la vie, though.

[restive current]

I wouldn't be surprised if it was.

But, I'm not...educated, informed and knowledgeable enough to jump to conclusions.

[dry copper]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_XDYqiy_o4

I love the way the game handles careers

[mental rose]

I've watched so many vids about the big game companies trying to find new ways to milk gamers just for quick buck...
NFTs were their latest attempt ontop of all the microtransactions BS

[dry copper]

You actually go to work with your sim and do tiny jobs

I love game developers in Korea. They're doing great work.

[mental rose]

And as I was writing that, I remembered that live service games focus on the long-term sustainability

[restive current]

No, they don't.

[mental rose]

No?

[restive current]

Remember when games were sold whole as products?

[mental rose]

Mhm

[dry copper]

Final Fantasy 14 isn't considered live service for the purpose of this discussion, I assume

[restive current]

When companies didn't make a half-game for $60, then DLCs for a lot more than that?

[mental rose]

Back when they were boxes on shelves

[restive current]

If I buy a game, I want the full game for the price.

I do not want to be tied to live service.

[mental rose]

Oh, riiight....

[restive current]

I don't want DLCs. I don't want extra monetization. I don't want MTX.

I want a game. A full, complete game.

[mental rose]

Don't we all 😄

[restive current]

Yes, and live-service is not long-term sustainability.

[dry copper]

Technically no game is long term sustainability

[restive current]

It's just putting a leash on you, as a player, to play as you are allowed to.

Like automotive developers locking power levels behind subscriptions.

[dry copper]

All games have a shelf life. Whether they themselves age or the technology required to use them ages

[restive current]

That's live-service.

[restive current]

Depends.

Counter-Strike 1.6 is fully sustainable. Has been for the last 2 decades.

People play the hell out of it.

Because it's not the transactions that make players play.

[orchid fox]

I return and i see another big argument started

[restive current]

It's the game being good.

[restive current]

No argument, simply a discussion (though I generally end up in debates and arguments due to...differing views).

[restive current]

Yes. And franchises don't.

You make a good game that people love playing, people will want more. Then you make another game and keep the whole thing going for as long as possible.

[dry copper]

I like how you champion counterstrike 1.6...which is literally an expansion of a previous version...which indicates it has a shelf life and keeps getting renewed

[mental rose]

A game that began it's existence as a Half Life mod 😄

[restive current]

More people, I assume (though I could be more than wrong) play 1.6 than they do Source, GO, 2...

[obtuse reef]

I don’t give a shit about DLCs as long as they don’t lock crucial components behind gameplay

cough Destiny cough

I’m not paying $40 to access crucial parts of the season

[orchid fox]

I mean locking features behind dlc is not a destiny exclusive thing. It kinda is standard

[dry copper]

My only point is games have a shelf life. They get replaced, updated, renewed, recreated, expanded, etc etc...but they change...and that's rarely free.

[orchid fox]

And im fully ok with that tbh

[dry copper]

Me too

[orchid fox]

I willingly pay lol

[obtuse reef]

I mean, I can’t talk, I have the subscription for EVE Online but that’s because it’s a game I legitimately enjoy and I want the most out of it

And eventually I’ll stop paying for it once I get my shit figured out in that game

[orchid fox]

Dont get me started on ff sub i am paying for 6 months interval around 20th this month 😅

[obtuse reef]

I actually need to do a lot of grinding in EVE if I don’t want to have to pay $30 every three months

[dry copper]

Yeah I paid an unreasonable amount of money on DLC for The Sims 3 this month

A game that came out ten years ago

[mental rose]

Unless you're EA, or Actishitt who repeatedly recycle same assets to cut costs to put out turds annually 😄

[obtuse reef]

I do like how it gives the option to not pay in exchange for playing it more

Don’t fucken get me started on EA

[dry copper]

EA...It's in the A

[obtuse reef]

The app is shit, whenever you close it it just minimizes, which I am already unreasonably pissed off about

[orchid fox]

Also just cuz something is locked behind dlc or a game bein reworked/reshelved/etc on game lifespan end doesnt always equal malicious

[dry copper]

What app?

[orchid fox]

Just cycle of things

[obtuse reef]

The EA app

You have to put it down with Task Manager in order to close it

[dry copper]

Oh. I didn't need the EA app to play sims 3

I ran the game without even using the launcher

[orchid fox]

It forces ea app on pc if i wanna faff around in titanfall

[obtuse reef]

I need the EA app to play Titanfall and BF2042 (yes, I do play it. I got it for $10 on steam)

[dry copper]

Yeah I think that does that with Jedi survivor too

I hate their app

[orchid fox]

Even with the ”improvements” its still shit

[dry copper]

They asked me in survey form repeatedly throughout my gaming with survivor what I thought of the app

I shit on the app every single time

In terms of gaming platforms, I'm going to say while steam is the best in terms of functionality, GOG Galaxy app is a close second

They're doing some really good things with Galaxy

[obtuse reef]

I’m definitely a steam guy

[mental rose]

At least they're not flooding your screen with an ad to buy a game everytime you boot up
Talking about the MW3 Xbox boot ad

[obtuse reef]

I hate Epic Games a lot too

[dry copper]

Namely, making it easy to shut down, run things in the background, use less processing and still provide games...Though they have a less than stellar interface and I hate the color scheme

[obtuse reef]

Their launcher is gross and annoying

And they’re a shitty company too

Not GOG but Epic Games

[dry copper]

Epic's launcher is....questionable. They did not do themselves any favors spying on computers with the app

They deny it was intentional, but yeah...bullshit. Their app was scanning Steam directories

[obtuse reef]

Oh really?

[mental rose]

And the fact they're still (or were?) throwing cases of money at devs for exclusivity deals on their worse platform....

https://tenor.com/view/mgr-metal-gear-rising-raiden-mgr-being-legal-doesnt-make-it-right-mgr-legal-gif-24370718

[obtuse reef]

I play satisfactory and that’s it on epic games

[dry copper]

The story I got from Epic was it was not actually spying. It was just a coding error the game was reading all games on the system and that they fixed it so it didn't

[obtuse reef]

Mhm

[dry copper]

A convenient thing to say after being called out

[obtuse reef]

It’s just a bullshit excuse

Everyone with half a brain cell can immediately tell that they’re trying to avoid the inevitable shitstorm that comes with spying on users

[mental rose]

I still find it hilarious it took them 3 years to add shopping cart to their app 😄

And only few months ago they added favorites function

[obtuse reef]

I actually don’t think I’ve used epic recently

I’ve just been using steam

I actually got the Turkey/Syria relief bundle from Humble Bundle, so I’ve got a decent amount of shit to play

[dry copper]

I log into epic occasionally to grab the freebies

then log off

and never play them

Instead it’ll be an older Batman with his son and young Superman

The Grounded section makes it make so much sense, cuz people think The Batman (And The Dark Knight trilogy) is “too grounded”, cuz it’s more based in our reality. instead of a flying man with laser eyes, but that’s literally the beauty of Batman with the Justice League

I'm surprised the EFF hasn't jumped to start an antitrust class action lawsuit against ABC for their blatant invasion of their consumers privacy rights. The only way an adblocker can be detected is for the detection system to be actively (not passively) checking for it and that's spying...and the adblocker isn't owned by Google...nor is it illegal...What could be illegal is violating consumer rights to privacy, though

What's next? You can't have a wide screen monitor because it violates (insert justification)?

same goes for radio

it’s just..an ad. its like commercials on a tv except actually skippable

so you watch it for 5 second max

I been wanting a new MMO to play for ages, since New World was a big ass disappointment!

[thorn dawn]

hm, same for me now - maybe they reverted it

maybe they were supposed to make it free tomorrow for the weekend or starting tuesday

[thorn dawn]

ha, was supposed to be for the 25th anniversary on the 19th

[shadow tartan]

Dickheads

[silent anchor]

I hate mmorpgs

I just want a single player rpg in medival fantasy world that is actually big

[tame cairn]

The Witcher 3

[glossy kestrel]

yeah, Witcher 3 is basically 250-300 hours if u have all expansions... plus a lot of replayability

[silver sparrow]

Kingdom come deliverance

[silent anchor]

played it

[silent anchor]

played it

playing those games make me want to play more

[silver sparrow]

So you got what you wanted then

[silent anchor]

Immortals Fenyx Rising: Myths of The Eastern Realm

[upbeat bolt]

@primal loom That looks amazing. I love stylized graphics.

They age better

[primal loom]

For sure

Artists did a great job with this game

3D digital painting

[upbeat bolt]

I never understood people that change realistic graphics. Looks good reminds me of NMS

[primal loom]

// WARNING // HAZARD PROTECTION FALLING //

I love realistic visuals too, depends on my mood lol

[upbeat bolt]

I just want the game to be fun over super pretty when it comes to realistic looks

Å good baseline for me is Halo CE

[primal loom]

Visuals are important but gameplay comes first for sure

[upbeat bolt]

Yes 🙂

[willow crypt]

when I first started that game I couldn’t look away from the trees. The tall, thin green ones specifically. I think I would have had a better overall impression had I not been so ocd about the side quests and the way they have you discover points with a magnifying glass (?). Otherwise, fun with cool puzzles.

[primal loom]

The trees look so good

And I agree about the POI revealing system

[earnest hatch]

Release date got leaked by PEGI

It's March 24th , 2024

Supposedly

[inland oasis]

not soon enough 😛

[signal forum]

@grim wing The other one I wanted more of was BrainDead, its 1st season was hilarious! (Tony Shaloub is funny as hell in any role, they could cast him as Hannibal Lecter, and future generations would picture the iconic, cannibalistic master strategist the same way we currently picture Jim Carrey's Cable Guy - even if they simply remade the exact same film word for word 🤣 )

[dreamy zinc]

At least we're getting 1 (sequel)

[inland oasis]

Oh for sure. Tbh I’d rather them take there time, delay if need be, and do it awesome. Idc actually how long, just splitting hairs cuz I want 😂

[dreamy zinc]

From what was showed the new visuals were nice

The movement looked like first game tho

[inland oasis]

I’m okay with that rly

[dreamy zinc]

I mean better animations

Would be nice

At least i hope they let us decide character statpoints

[grim wing]

Completely missed that one. Haven’t watched network shows in a LONG time

[dreamy zinc]

Instead of binding that to class

I always tried every class in first game

They should either go the pick 1 class per char and autolevel stats or the choose class and statpoints yourself

[signal forum]

It aired in 2016 XD

[grim wing]

That explains it, I cut cable in 2013

And pretty much had stop watching television except from dvds and streaming

A lot of myth busters as background noise

[austere lance]

https://youtu.be/gYp0oe2tMls?si=hjySdBjazXwOQRUT

[tame cairn]

L

why already

the game looks great

[mental rose]

Probably so they can release the PC port?

Is my guess

[tame cairn]

but $10 if you own the original it isn’t bad i suppose
but also, they needed to put it on the ps5 to be able to play it on pc?

uh

alright

like i said the game is already really great looking, visually

the question is how much of an improvement is it

i really doubt it’s much

sometimes remasters don’t even at all

[mental rose]

Ok, TLOU2 isn't on PC yet. So I was correct

[tame cairn]

look better

[tame cairn]

right but my question is

why did they need to put it on the ps5 to be able to port it to pc

that makes no sense to me

[edgy viper]

Because money

[tame cairn]

at least someone got it lol

https://fixupx.com/mrpyo1/status/1725656887192912174?s=46

aha.

[thorn dawn]

ffs I haven't even got around to playing it yet

can the game industry just chill tf out for a year or two

[quaint escarp]

sony wants money you will give it to them

[mental rose]

Yea... Sony really wants all the money, which is why most PS-exclusives take ages to get to other platforms.
God of War 4 took four years to get to PC

[edgy prairie]

for multiplayer i could get back into it

[tame cairn]

what a title

[glossy kestrel]

yeah, I like these "indie" multiplayer projects made by players... just to mention a couple, Iv played TruckersMP which is Euro Truck Simualtor 2 multiplayer... or the multiplayer for skyrim and Banner Lord 2!
These projects are always interesting and get much better overtime!

[mental rose]

That thumbnail looks awful lot like the mod for romance overhaul that popped in my feed 😄

Oh, it's from the same channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YIrpkQR0dk

[tame cairn]

didn’t wanna send a link but you might find this a bit funny @restive current

i don’t know how much that exhaust actually is but lol

[restive current]

Heh...sounds like the V8 or V12...and the right exhaust would do wonders for the sound...or ruin it, depending. 😆

But yea, nice troll.

[tame cairn]

yeah it’s a V12! stock like that, with about 400 horsepower

[restive current]

Yea, figured so. Loud, screaming exhaust.

Personally, not a fan of such exhausts, but...if it puts those rich sports-car owners in their place...count me in.

[tame cairn]

It definitely was just for that I think, to mess with ‘em

I don’t like them either

[mental rose]

Add Antilag system ontop, if you're fancy 😄

[restive current]

True. Though their trolling could've gotten them in trouble due to noise rules.

Also, modified exhaust, so probably run afoul of emissions rules as well.

[restive current]

Doesn't an anti-lag system keep the engine at high revolutions?

[mental rose]

Noise? Maybe
Emissions? If an aftermarket part doesn't have catalytic converter, I'm pretty sure that's illegal 😄

[mental rose]

Close. It's meant to keep the turbo spinning and to keep providing power, when not revving

[restive current]

Sounds like something only useful while racing.

Else just extra wear and extra fuel.

[mental rose]

Mhm. You can get it aftermarket, buut.... only rally cars really use, because it reduces the turbo's lifespan

It injects unburnt fuel into exhaust

[restive current]

Yep.

For regular use, might as well get parallel/sequential.

[mental rose]

Twin turbo setup works just as well, with less wear

[restive current]

Agreed.

Less lag, equivalent power.

[solid lynx]

@dull tulip I never want to see this godforsaken tree again

Biggest pain in the ass in this game so far

[zenith orchid]

@merry bison yeah, loved ED

@merry bison spent over 1400 hrs in ED, all played in VR. And was devastated when Odyssey had no real VR support for the on-foot stuff. Sad.

[merry bison]

Yeah...I don't want to mention. How much I forked out on my HOTAS stick and throttle when I first got the game. Just fell in love with it.

[strange dune]

@austere lance I tried ion out in frontier defence in titanfall 2. This thing is insane!

[strange dune]

@obtuse reef Scorch and Legion are badass. But ion is so much fun to play as.

[dry copper]

Looked like a sims image honestly...but then I've been playing too much sims 3 and 4

[modern panther]

So I've been looking through the Fortnite lore

It looks like the game is either heading towards a complete reset or some crazy final season

Honestly not sure which one I want

But tbh I feel like a reset is more likely

The Zero Point is dead, time itself is falling apart, both Geno and The Last Reality are going unchecked, and every member of the Seven is either being experimented on or is MIA

[austere lance]

Tfw you didn't know it has lore

[modern panther]

It has a lot

There's been lore for each season since chapter 1 season 3

Most of it can be summarized as "person fucks with time orb and nearly either purposely or accidentally damages/destroys reality"

[strange dune]

I wanna try out the no build mode but haven’t installed the game yet

[fluid hare]

Kelsier’s in Fortnite.

This guy.

https://tenor.com/view/kelsier-fortnite-mistborn-gif-21812858

It’s ridiculous. Why is a character from the Cosmere IN THIS FREAKING VIDEO GAME?

Scarred brass-tongued maniac.

[modern panther]

You want the actual in lore reason for the crossovers?

[fluid hare]

This particular crossover.

Yes.

[modern panther]

Idk that one off hand but it was likely for one of two reasons

Either they were brought to the island by someone fucking with the time orb or brought to the island to stop someone from fucking with the time orb

[fluid hare]

Huh.

[modern panther]

Is that a confused huh?

[fluid hare]

No.

[modern panther]

Gotta love sitting on the CAS screen for 30 minutes not knowing what to make

[edgy viper]

Anyways. Buy more sharkcards. That will speedup gta6 for sure. Annnnny day now 🤣.

[tame cairn]

I feel glad to say I have never bought a shark card

[restive current]

I'm happy Rockstar gets richer, though.

Demand's stupid, so supply gets the excuse.

[dry copper]

Never bought a shark card. Have bought expansions.

Shark cards in a game about making money as the only real grind to pitch is like throwing away your money so that you can throw your money away faster.

It is stupid

[weak tiger]

Shark cards don’t really have a good value for the price with all the stuff they’ve added since the beginning, imo

But if you’re just playing to screw around now and then, totally valid not my money, after all

[earnest hatch]

[dry copper]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIw1A6O-nv8

[strange dune]

Yeah it looks incredibly good for a game that’s 7 years old.

[strange dune]

It’s so true. Been 7 years and still nothing 😭

[raven frost]

damn you apex

[strange dune]

Also if Respawn is going to make another Titan Fall. I bet it would primarily focus on ||saving BT, since jack got a coded messaged at the end of the game, which I assume was from BT.||

[strange dune]

Battle Royals seemed to be very big at the time, so EA and Respawn decided to make Apex Legends instead of making the next TF game 😭

[tame cairn]

https://youtu.be/jGKk4J3_yvA?si=hUTN4vYxcBYtmmgm

Cool video lol

Even the British fed the Americans Thanksgiving who were there in 1944

[raven frost]

the worst part is that they probably made the right choice, as I'm pretty sure apex has been more successful then both titanfall games could've ever dreamed of

[tame cairn]

neat picture

[raven frost]

at this point TF3 would be more for the fans than for actual profit I feel

[strange dune]

That’s depressing af

[raven frost]

which would be nice, but goodwill unfortunately doesn't make money

[strange dune]

Yeah and considering that respawn works for EA…. we all know we won’t get a TF3

[obtuse reef]

Unless… im not saying murder is okay, but in the case of the CEO of EA, I think we can make an exception

[strange dune]

Except for NMS. Where the devs did everything they could to fix up the game and still free release content for it. Which I assume brought in more people to the game.

[strange dune]

LMFAOO

[raven frost]

one falls, another will take its place.

not to mention shareholders

[obtuse reef]

Well, again, mass murder isn’t okay, but…

[strange dune]

However…

[strange dune]

But I think NMS had a massive hype train too. Maybe Respawn can do that for TF3 by having a cross over event with Apex, where Jack Cooper kills all the legends in an Apex tournament to gain intel on BT?

[obtuse reef]

Honestly I don’t think people care enough

[strange dune]

Or possibly interrogates Bangalore since she was an IMC trooper

[strange dune]

There’s that too

But yeah. I highly doubt there will be any type of plan for TF3

[obtuse reef]

I downloaded Apex, played a couple of games, decided “eh, it’s kinda fun” and then uninstalled it because of how much space it took up

[strange dune]

It’s been 7 years so I doubt it will come out anytime soon.

[raven frost]

I still feel NMS was put in a very precarious situation of "fix this or have everyone who worked on this' careers irreparably destroyed" but yeah alright

which, to their credit, I think they have managed to pull it off. Not perfectly, but they did, and that deserves recognition

[strange dune]

Yep. They definitely created one hell of a game in my opinion.

[raven frost]

I think what we've got so far is alright. Has had major depth issues since day one, however

[fluid hare]

WE BOTH WATCH HIM?! :3

[tame cairn]

yes

[fluid hare]

:3

[velvet grail]

The game does have incredible breadth - over 200 galaxies, several economies (units, nanites, quicksilver, void motes), so much to do: explore, build, fight, cook,... So, lack of depth doesn't bother me.

[raven frost]

how long before all of it starts to feel the same, though?

that's my biggest issue with NMS, right there

it's nice that there's a lot to do but you only need to do it once or twice to realize that you're doing the same thing over and over for the most part

there's not a lot to shake it up

[velvet grail]

That is a fair point. For me with over 1,000 hours played, what keeps it fresh for me are the expeditions and new content (recently: sentinel ships and multi tool staffs/staves)

[raven frost]

expeditions are hit and miss for me tbh, I've had some that I've absolutely adored and others I slogged through because C O N T E N T (I'm looking at cartographers in particular, FUCK that one)

[velvet grail]

Agreed

I just finished the Artemis Path on one of my saves because I had to in order to be able to get to the staves. That was just going through the motions for me.

[velvet grail]

I'm not really into puzzle games, but maybe some sort of story/quest to fix the 16 problem, or solve a system or Galaxy civil war, or something like that would be cool. But, not sure how to implement something like that.

Maybe for those who have earned over 1 billion units, the chance to buy and manage a star system???

Dragon's Dogma 2

Dragon Age Wolf

Crimson Desert

Gothic 1 Remake

Black Mythi Wukong

Just to name a few

[earnest hatch]

I can promise atleast 2 of those will be good

DragonAge Dreadwolf is gonna be a mess

[tame cairn]

black myth looks good

[earnest hatch]

Black Myth is very promissing

Dragons Dogma 2 could be amazing especially magic wise

Gothic 1 Remake TBD

Crimson Desert I am super highly skeptical of

[tame cairn]

what is dragons dogma

[earnest hatch]

its basically capcoms rpg

[tame cairn]

never even heard of crimson desert, but ive heard of dd

[tame cairn]

is it good?

[earnest hatch]

it argueably has the best magic in any videogame

[tame cairn]

oh

[earnest hatch]

its pretty great

[tame cairn]

cool, is it on xbox?

[earnest hatch]

Crimson Desert is a Open world game made by Black Desert Team

[earnest hatch]

yep!

and its pretty inexpensive too

its a older game

[tame cairn]

i’m gonna get it, eventually

let me see

[earnest hatch]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbyE-0Cg4yI&ab_channel=CapcomUSA

here is a spell thats one of my favorites

just a show of what the game can offer

[tame cairn]

i would want dd: dark arisen?

[earnest hatch]

yep!

thats the complete edition basically

[tame cairn]

on sale for $5 right now

[earnest hatch]

def pick it up

the 2nd one is coming out soon

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96WlM2t3gEw&ab_channel=TheGamer

it was leaked to have a March 22, 2024 release date

[tame cairn]

holy

that is very cool

[earnest hatch]

dragons dogmas magic is really great

[tame cairn]

the entire time he cast that spell my hand was up to my forehead

[earnest hatch]

all the spells have a cool casting animation

thats why the magic is so satisfying

I would highly recommend watching the DD2 game showcase I put above

[tame cairn]

yes my eyes likey

[tame cairn]

my eyes likey even more

just went shadow of the colossus on that dragon

damn that actually looks so good

wow

[silent anchor]

To be honest, the monster scaling is even better

[silent anchor]

Wdym?

It literally has some qualities of some of the best games in their genre

Environment like RDR2

Stealth like AC

Sky Islands like TOTK

Army attacking like Shadow of War

Combat like Dark Souls

It looks to be a perfect RPG

[silent anchor]

Why? It looks pretty cool

Also, is wasteland 3 worth getting?

[earnest hatch]

yes but the company that made it is less than stellar and other than that it looks kinda like the "everything game" but most likely will be a lifeless husk of a game

I'm going to pretend I didn't just buy Sims 4 Seasons DLC pack because a girl on youtube told me it was the best pound for pound dlc to buy for new players hoping to get the most out of the game

[tame cairn]

Dragon’s Dogma is installing

[tame cairn]

how was the new walking dead game made 😭

that game sucks

what is that

i never even heard of it until it released

[primal loom]

"They're masterworks all, you can't go wrong!"

[tame cairn]

aha

[tame cairn]

Kinda reminds me of Fable, from the outside view anyways
Don’t know how I’ve never seen DD.

these are all my types of games

[primal loom]

It's great fun

Enjoy

[tame cairn]

Also had no idea that EA said what the next Dragon’s Age is, don’t know how I missed that too.

[tame cairn]

thank ya!

[primal loom]

The pawns may drive you crazy though lol

Wolves travel in packs, Arisen!

[primal loom]

I missed that also

Should emerge from my rock more often

Someone told me last night so I had to look it up

speak of the devil

[earnest hatch]

I would be careful over dreadwolf

Bioware is going through a ton of stuff and the game has been redone a ton

[tame cairn]

always, but i still have hope

cuz i love dragon age

[earnest hatch]

I do to

I just have little faith in bioware at this point besides the company just had a massive downsize in a bad way

[tame cairn]

yikes

so should i play this online or offline 🤔

it’s asking

[primal loom]

Online if the servers are still going

Let's you recruit pawns (companions) of other players into your party, and send your own onto adventures while you're not playing (they come back with goodies and knowledge)

[tame cairn]

woah

[primal loom]

We'd best be careful, Arisen. Bandits prowl these roads

Seared into my mind

[tame cairn]

this pawn system is pretty cool.

[primal loom]

It is!

I like how you can fully curate the class/build of your pawn to complement your own

You can switch classes later if you change your mind btw

[tame cairn]

this combat feels great

[primal loom]

Yess

[primal loom]

This is super easy to do and even encouraged

Classes level separately, and you can unlock passive abilities and such that you can use with another class if you wish

[tame cairn]

very nice

[primal loom]

My favorite is Warrior, big sword goes swoosh

It's not particularly good vs other classes, but I find the big bonks satisfying and fun

[tame cairn]

this is great

the vibe is immaculate lmfao

“This way, Ser!”

[primal loom]

The corny fake old-timey speak is so amusing lol

[tame cairn]

this is like perfect medieval fantasy

a dang chimera

[primal loom]

So good

And the monster climbing

[tame cairn]

wait so that’s a thing in the first too?

[primal loom]

Yes

[tame cairn]

tbh i saw the 2nd gameplay and thought that was new

[primal loom]

Climb dragons to your heart's content

[tame cairn]

ah yes, shadow of the colossus without a playstation

[tame cairn]

ehehe

[primal loom]

Hold up

Didn't know there was gameplay footage for the 2nd game LOL

[tame cairn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96WlM2t3gEw&ab_channel=TheGamer

It looks wow

Beautiful looking game

[earnest hatch]

Capcoms RE Engine is amazing

I can't believe it was made for Resident Evil 7 and can do things like this and everything

[primal loom]

Oh my

[earnest hatch]

It's a great engine

[primal loom]

Gorgeous

[earnest hatch]

Just wait

They are doing a showcase on the 28th

So one week from today

Also the release date is supposedly March 22nd 2024

[tame cairn]

Awesome

[primal loom]

@tame cairn Got me wanting to reinstall lol

[tame cairn]

Might not be the best

[primal loom]

Rocking that lamp

Resident Evil 4 remake running smoothly on day 1 is saying something definitely 😉

[tame cairn]

[mental rose]

Quite old at this point

2012

Then in 2016 it got ultimate edition release on Steam with DD: Dark Arisen

[tame cairn]

wow lol, for a 2012 game this is nice though..

@restive current
Riding that Ferrari spider in NFS rivals definitely feels nostalgic...and

[restive current]

Uh, Ferrari Spider? Sorry, I'm confused.

[restive current]

Ah, 458 Spider. Yea, it's nice.

I'm not a fan of Ferrari, but it does go back to the older games in the series.

Hot Pursuit 2 and earlier.

[sonic sonnet]

Yeah

F50 was my first car in my first ever bought pc game

[inland oasis]

hot pursuit 2 is where my love for the lamborghini diablo SV and countach started

[sonic sonnet]

Same... 😂

I loved the diablo SV

[inland oasis]

also the saleen S7

mclaren F1

mercedes SLR mclaren

[sonic sonnet]

But...what I loved even better....

Was...
Murcielago

Successor of Diablo SV

[inland oasis]

countach was perfection for me. i LOVED the angles and body lines

https://tenor.com/view/forza-horizon-5-lamborghini-countach-lp5000-qv-driving-drive-supercar-gif-14392022116912206377

[inland oasis]

i got a soft spot for the maserati ghibli

such an aggressive looking car

https://tenor.com/view/maks6564-gif-25754159

i always consider maserati to be jaguars expensive posh boujee older brother

[sonic sonnet]

[tame cairn]

Gen 1 and 2

[sonic sonnet]

Ye

Now back to reality...
What we actually ride/drive

Me..

🤣

[tame cairn]

[willow crypt]

what's this game it looks very fast and intesne i am afraid

[restive current]

TBF, I hate the Countach...too many sharp edges, though I never played those old games.

[restive current]

Unfortunate that the Saleen S7 was never in NFS.

[sonic sonnet]

Oh I know....it's that fast...with engine OFF

[restive current]

This is really, really good...under-rated.

[restive current]

Can agree. Murcielago LP 670-4 SV for me.

[inland oasis]

BMW M3 GTR

[sonic sonnet]

Guess how fast it would be with engine on... @willow crypt

[restive current]
