[long beacon]

The ending was wack, left you wanting to do more, but can’t blame em, neons so small no much to do

[bronze wind]

just sucks ass cause it's very well known how corrupt the cops are and they were like fuck em. then the ending is "omg I can't believe we're cops thank you so much"

[tranquil glen]

it wasnt wack, thats literally how the OG left off tho

[bronze wind]

complete narrative whiplash and then they become generic NPCs (which is a bigger problem with the game)

[shadow tartan]

Dude the elephants and the turtle would be something else in a game

Bigger than anything GoW did

Colossus ain't shit

[tranquil glen]

oh you likely ment game not Live action

[bronze wind]

yee they were talking about starfield still i believe lol

[long beacon]

Talking about neon missions in starfield

[tranquil glen]

mmm

[long beacon]

The “gang”

https://tenor.com/view/teletubbies-tinky-winky-dipsy-laa-laa-po-gif-27173127

These guys are more uncanny

[bronze wind]

would've been more satisfying if there was a resolution that allowed them to become protectors for the local shops from the police or something

[long beacon]

I would’ve liked to overthrow the main guy and run the whole aurora plant my self instead of making 3 a day

[bronze wind]

lol yeah

[long beacon]

That also sucks, no more to that mission, just keep working for dude selling the drink

[bronze wind]

really weird, just like surface level interaction with a lot of stuff

and the NPCs are just vessels for delivering mission dialogue, and transform into nobody the moment it's over. jarring

[long beacon]

What urks me is zero reaction to stuff, point a gun in someone’s face? You get this look

[tranquil glen]

yall think Beth wold do better at linear not open games?

[idle saffron]

I mean, almost incomprehensible

[long beacon]

Beth needs to do something different I’m sick and over the formula

[idle saffron]

MASSIVE

[shadow tartan]

It would have to transition something different

ATLA game but we meet the lions

[shadow tartan]

small but copied

[shadow tartan]

Just had to give them a plug because they kept me so happy for years

[idle saffron]

I'm actually a bit surprised there hasn't been some DnD style satire games based off Discworld

[shadow tartan]

Couldn't remember

[idle saffron]

Haven't heard of any, so if there was, probably not good

[shadow tartan]

They only just found out who may have the rights to it

That's why we have to go to the crown

[idle saffron]

Yeah

@thorn dawn Those are your people, help out

[bronze wind]

my hope is they were half paying attention to starfield due to more attention being on ES6 but that's not really how dev works lol. Still, hoping they at least let that one cook a while.

[thorn dawn]

What do you mean you people

[idle saffron]

Nobs

[thorn dawn]

Ah

Fair

There have been some discworld games but not many

Mostly Terry had high standards and games of books are mostly shit

[dry copper]

I played one mission in helldivers 2...It's a chaotic hilarious mess. I got enough for premium content that would otherwise be purchased with the ingame currency in the very first mission.

It does not feel pay to win

The ingame currency can be purchased with real money

Or earned ingame

[bronze wind]

yeah it's pretty nicely designed in that way

[long beacon]

I’m just over Bethesda tbh, wasn’t a fan of fallout 4 or 76 and they’re probably now sticking to that engine style of the game, I just accept they caught lightning in a bottle with older games

Indies dominating creative games now

[bronze wind]

same, not really looking forward to ES6 at all, just keeping an eye out lol

dragons dogma 2 will give me what I want

[thorn dawn]

I would love some discworld games but you need a developer that would handle it in the same way that Larian did with BG3

[bronze wind]

most confusing initial typo in earths history

[idle saffron]

Need some great writing too, has to be funny

[bronze wind]

was like "wtf would a discord game be"

[long beacon]

Don’t give discord ideas to bring mobile games section into app

[idle saffron]

Uh

[shadow tartan]

I need to find out who is still alive

[bronze wind]

they had a games store at one point, scrapped it

[thorn dawn]

Not just writing, but the voice acting has to be on point

[shadow tartan]

Told you I was working with a couple of them last year

[idle saffron]

Yeah for sure

[shadow tartan]

That too

OMG

It's so loved that if you slip you'll never show your face again

[idle saffron]

Not in the UK anyways

[shadow tartan]

[dry copper]

Elder Scrolls Six. Cyberpunk edition. You play a dwemer from just before the entire species disappeared from the face of the planet...Your task if you choose to accept it is to prevent the disappearance of the dwemer and decide once and for all whether or not Lorkhan is the monster the et'Ada would have you believe or Magnus is a coward for leaving Mundus with a giant hole in the realm

[idle saffron]

[long beacon]

Of the x variety

[idle saffron]

Still churning out 4 books a year

Under multiple names

Dunno where she gets the time or ideas

[thorn dawn]

Matter of story/genre too. Something like LoTR lends itself to hack and slash dungeon crawlers, but discworld has protagonists like the world's shittest wizard, the only competent police officer in ankh-morpork, and death himself.

[shadow tartan]

Ankh-morpork

Could you imagine

[idle saffron]

Man

Would love to see

[shadow tartan]

Yo

[idle saffron]

I've seen there are some animated movies, those any good?

[thorn dawn]

I mean don't get me wrong I'd trade my left nut for la noire but Sam vimes

[idle saffron]

Oooo

[thorn dawn]

But it'd be so hard to get right

[shadow tartan]

Not seen those since I was a child

[obtuse reef]

Mostly because it’s really hard to get Terry Pratchett characters right

[shadow tartan]

I remember a bit of Hogfather

[obtuse reef]

It’s surprisingly hard to make a satirical character an actual character with depth, which is why nobody really does it

[shadow tartan]

It would all have to get signed off by the company/estate anyway

Same as Middle Earth

[obtuse reef]

And also because everyone is too busy bringing politics into media for anyone to care about writing a good story

[dry copper]

Army of Darkness

[shadow tartan]

All story and art had to get signed off

[thorn dawn]

Middle earth inc. will sign anything tho

[shadow tartan]

Not true

[shadow tartan]

I take that personally

We made something more accurate to the books

[thorn dawn]

https://tenor.com/view/nsza-gif-26558816

[dry copper]

I take this commercially

[shadow tartan]

So they signed off

[obtuse reef]

I take this publicly

[shadow tartan]

But then they had to cash in on MMOs

[dry copper]

I take this privately

[obtuse reef]

MMOs are another thing that’s hard to do right

[shadow tartan]

Black Desert

[obtuse reef]

A lot of the recent MMOs (or what have claimed to be MMOs) are pretty bad

Although, there is a Dune one that’s in the works

Doesn’t seem half bad

[dry copper]

MMO aren't hard to do right. There is no wrong way to do art. Now, successfully...is another story...but really, if you're making a product that you love, its financial success plays second fiddle to your happiness.

[shadow tartan]

I just lean toward open world MMOs

With open world combat/PvP

[obtuse reef]

I mean, I’ve played a hell of a lot of EVE Online

It’s not as bad as some people would have you believe, but there are things it could do better

[dry copper]

I would have liked to have seen the MMO Hellgate succeed

I played that game when it first was released. Conceptually, it was pretty fun

[obtuse reef]

Dual Universes seemed interesting, but then they released it and you had to pay like $30/month to play it

[dry copper]

Hellgate London was just stupid fun with fps run and gun

[shadow tartan]

Dude that is ooooooold

Pretty sure I played that with a few people

Might still have it

It flopped hard

[finite hazel]

[mental rose]

I find that ironic. If you have gamepass, you could classify it as a freemium game, with ridiculously overpriced MT's

[long beacon]

I’m glad I converted gold cards before the conversion rate changed, still got 2 years left completely free, seems most ones I’d be interested in I already own bc they rarely drop any brand new titles

I’m betting Hogwarts will make it on by October or early next year

This has to be one of the fastest deaths an AAA live service game has suffered.

I think even Redfall and Avengers faired better.

Twitter · Feb 16, 2024, 9:55 PM

[idle saffron]

Weird because it's much better than either of those games

Avengers single player story wasn't awful, but man the mp

[austere lance]

I hope they manage to add the offline mode they promised before the servers get shut down, I wanna try it at some point 💀

[idle saffron]

It maintains continuity with the Arkham trilogy

[austere lance]

Yee

[idle saffron]

Pretty neat

I'm not sure what peoples issue with it is, it's not going to win awards, but it has the silly dialogue I expect from these characters and decent combat mechanics - simple but amusing. If it's the repetition of missions, I'd just point to literally every open world game and say: Yep, has repetition

Looks good, plays smooth, haven't hit a bug

Blows Gotham Knights out of the water

[balmy plaza]

I think the biggest issue I've seen is how it kinda disrespects the legacy of a beloved version of a character and their deceased VA

They couldn't have know that he'd die but it's still pretty bad

[dry copper]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHKjUIfq85c

The Higher level hunters will jump out of the way if you aim at them

I can and will laugh if enough people on both sides complain enough that it goes multiplat, lol

I keep seeing PlayStation players on social media begging for Xbox players to be able to play Helldivers 2 since they need reinforcements to fight the robots and I gotta say, is this the game to bridge the hatred between both fanbases?? 😂😂😂 #Helldivers2

Twitter · Feb 17, 2024, 2:19 AM

[balmy plaza]

Hopefully it does! It's really great

It'll be even better when they get those servers upgraded 😂

[mental rose]

For the devs, it's only a good idea to go multi-platform, because more potential sales.
But then the fanboys go "But muh consol exclusiviti!"

People got salty when God of War 4 released on PC

[austere lance]

Do it Phil, use Microsoft's heinous amount of money to pay off Sony and get the game on Xbox
https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2024/02/16/phil-spencer-on-helldivers-2-exclusivity-im-not-sure-who-it-helps/

Helldivers are literally Halo ODSTs but crazier, we deserve crossovers and shit 😆

[mental rose]

Ohh, I just noticed the publisher for it is none other than Sony...

If it was originally a PC dev, then it might go full trinity, buuut.... we all know Sony hates crossplatforming

[long beacon]

Rather have some competition so I don’t feel like I bought a brick lol

[austere lance]

Personally I think third party online multiplayer games should all be multiplat at the very least, if exclusives have to be a thing they should only be first party singleplayer games so you can tell competing stories

Honestly after 20+ years I'm pretty sure everyone who's gonna join either Sony or Xbox ecosystems has already done so and exclusives aren't gonna win anyone new to either side, so I think they're pointless

[balmy plaza]

Yeah I see the point of first party exclusives

But third party stuff should all be multiplatform

[shadow tartan]

@austere lance history with this franchise is a little different though

I agree, I want to play with everyone

But that "throw money at it" attitude is exactly what causes this in the first place

This is only being said because it's a popular 3rd person action game, first one didn't get the same response.

Was talking to @idle saffron earlier about this exact thing.
Over hiring, bloating and throwing numbers at things.

[balmy plaza]

I also think if they ported it they'd need to do so only after they've upgraded the server architecture

I'm assuming that's gonna happen pretty quickly though tbh

[tame cairn]

wow never seen this move before

a little wall run

think its cuz his foot hit the bottom of the windosill

AC1 really doesn't even look that bad

Most assassins creed have decent animations

[strange dune]

I’ve been meaning to buy helldivers2. It looks really good. Is it good?

[shadow tartan]

It's fun, I have one code left. You want?

[strange dune]

What’s the code do?

[shadow tartan]

PS5 EU Helldivers 2

Regular version not Super Earth

15 Euros or something for upgrade

[strange dune]

That’s insanely nice of you

[tame cairn]

Nate goat?

[strange dune]

Fr

[tame cairn]

i dont have ps5 but game looks cool

[strange dune]

Is the Code like a regional thing? Where it only works in a specific region (dumb question just wanna make sure)

[shadow tartan]

EU only

[tardy burrow]

Anyone use VR?

[shadow tartan]

EU, NA, Asia are separate

Middle East usually covered by EU

Few examples like that

You're EU right @strange dune

[strange dune]

I’m in Canada

[shadow tartan]

Ah shit

Lemme see though

I ran out of US

[strange dune]

that’s okay! I felt kinda weird getting a gift anyway. I feel bad when someone gives me something and I don’t have anything in return.

[shadow tartan]

Gifts are gifts, I don't expect anything in return ever.

I've pinged a message so might have one by tomorrow, let's see

I understand though, a lot of people feel that way.
I just never expect anything in return just for people to go and enjoy what little free time they have.

[strange dune]

Well it was still really kind of you to offer!

[strange dune]

Never understood the hate between both platforms either. Play what you wanna play with.

I used to play Xbox an insane amount before I made a switch to PlayStation. And I must say that Xbox does some things better and PlayStation does somethings better.

[austere lance]

I'd love to play whatever I want but exclusives exist

[strange dune]

IMO both are very good

[strange dune]

Yeah that’s why I switched to PS

God of war, spider-man, horizon

[tardy burrow]

Does it run on the steam deck? Or would it be a futile effort to play with it?

[strange dune]

Not sure

[austere lance]

I don't wanna pay $500 just to play the three games I'm interested in

[strange dune]

Well there was multiple games to each series

Two god of wars, three spider man’s, 2 horizons

[inland grail]

god im tempted to buy it

should i buy it?

[strange dune]

Ghost of Tsushima too

Last of Us

[inland grail]

i have PS+ soo i have most of those

[strange dune]

And it seems like helldivers2 is an exclusive but I might be wrong

[shadow tartan]

Yeah it's PC/PS5

[strange dune]

Yeah

[shadow tartan]

But you never know

[strange dune]

Might come to xbox later

[shadow tartan]

May need exclusivity to expire

[inland grail]

is it worth buying it?

👻

[shadow tartan]

I'd say so

[strange dune]

Helldivers?

[inland grail]

yeah?

[shadow tartan]

But I have bias

[strange dune]

I’ve heard that it’s a really good game

[inland grail]

if the devs have plan to develop it in the long run im in

[strange dune]

Plus it looks like fun too. Reminds me of alien fireteam and anthem (except anthem was filled with bugs 😢)

[shadow tartan]

I played Anthem quite a bit

[strange dune]

Same

[inland grail]

starship troopers a bit

[strange dune]

I had so much fun with it. But sadly the left the game to die

[idle saffron]

Jordan is in France, with a ps5

[shadow tartan]

First one was like Starship Troopers but had two extra event types

[shadow tartan]

Was just about to mention that

Love you Dave Gleam

[inland grail]

i have all consoles

soo im not picky

[strange dune]

Absolute gamer

[inland grail]

hey i even have a PSVR2

[strange dune]

I only have the first psvr

Got my mom to play FNAF on it too. LOL the funniest shit I’ve ever seen.

[tardy burrow]

Nice, I got the quest 3 yesterday

[inland grail]

It looks nice

[strange dune]

I kinda wish I could play vr chat on ps4. Seems like pure chaos

[tardy burrow]

Very comfortable

[inland grail]

I did one time a full night in psvr2

[tardy burrow]

It is, lot's of screaming kids

[inland grail]

Like 4-5 hours

[tardy burrow]

Did you fall asleep in it?

[strange dune]

Best I can get is rec room and that game is toxic af 😔

[tardy burrow]

I tried rec room and it took 10cm off my height lol

[strange dune]

lol

[dry copper]

Helldivers 2 is for stupid fun when you don't have a lot of time to waste grinding

You jump in, wreck shit, laugh at your stupid mistakes, and progress

I'm glad the game doesn't have local mic. I'd hate to listen to the crazy comments toxic players would make in that co-op game with friendly fire

[strange dune]

Maybe if I get this game soon in can play with you all

If that’s okay with you

[inland grail]

Playing it now

Having a lot of fun

The soundtrack

Insane

[dry copper]

The patriotism is very patrioty

[inland grail]

Ah shit servers full

[dry copper]

It's a sad state of affairs when your game is so successful that it fails to function

This happened on friday too...and while they apologized and granted everyone a double xp weekend, I don't think it's going to be enough

Their rep is going to take a hit for it

A little annoyed by Smallands attribute system

[balmy plaza]

Unfortunately I don't think there's anything they could do predict that

The original had a peak of just under 7k, and this one has beaten the all time peak of both Skyrim and Destiny 2 on steam

[shadow tartan]

Doubt

Nobody cared before last week

[balmy plaza]

Plus the fact it's so good that people are still playing despite the server issues

[shadow tartan]

Yeah, I even waited for issues to clear up last night

Just so I could check out some stuff in game

Didn't really get to play

[balmy plaza]

Hopefully it'll be better once the weekend is over

[shadow tartan]

Yeah I'll be on next week

[balmy plaza]

Same for sure

[inland grail]

Ur playing it now ?

[mental rose]

So Helldivers 2 is having a FFXV-syndrome in that the servers are too full? 😄

So Square actually had to pull brakes and stop selling the game for a while?

[shadow tartan]

Seems alright atm, managed to get in first time

[mental rose]

Well, uhh... first Palworld tower boss down. Game wouldn't tell me their level, but my Warsect barely took any damage soo... I guess it's an easy win? 😅

@austere lance Sorry for the random ping... but what do you get from re-running the tower bosses? First win gave me 5 ancient tech points.

[glossy kestrel]

Imagine firing one of ur biggest actors then loosing him to ur direct competitor https://youtu.be/ObnVqcD1qC0?si=QzyWcio4jm-Ai1LK

[austere lance]

No idea, I've never re-ran a tower boss 😆

[mental rose]

Oh... Well in that case, guess I'll be the first one this server

Be riight back

Ok, so it looks like you don't get anything, not even drops of any kind.

[strange dune]

Are there any bosses in helldivers2?

Dumb question never mind

[mental rose]

Ok, did it the third time, and nothing... So no point
Also trying to use a pal sphere on the boss revealed to me Zoe is actually lv10 😄

And I'm lv32

[shadow tartan]

You make it sound like slave trading

That's exactly why Dave Chappelle hates all of "the shit"

[balmy plaza]

I'm way more interested to see what he does with the warhammer stuff tbh

Loki season 1 and 2 were all the post endgame narrative I needed for the MCU

[obtuse reef]

I love how marvel decided that endgame wasn’t the end of the MCU

That’s sarcasm, by the way

Should’ve ended 10 movies ago

The existential threat has already been defeated

It’s going to keep getting bigger and bigger until the avengers fight goddamn Cthulhu

[balmy plaza]

That's why I like loki tbf

It doesn't set up a huge new threat without dealing with it, it just gives a great character a great ending

[obtuse reef]

At this point there aren’t really any existing characters to kill off or even make a spinoff about

[mental rose]

Galactus is not big enough of a threat? 😄

Or is he already dead too?

[austere lance]

God I love how powerful Biotics are in Mass Effect 3 😌

[obtuse reef]

The issue is because the threats never goddamn end. It will always be an escalating issue until it can’t escalate anymore

It’s just annoying

[mental rose]

It makes me sad the multiplayer mode doesn't exist for the ME3 Legendary edition...
Vanguard was so busted, You could Biotic Charge into a cluster, then instantly recharge your shields with.... either Shockwave or Nova, I forgot which.

It was so much fun way back when

[austere lance]

I'm running Vanguard rn, shit's ridiculous

[mental rose]

Right? Charge drops your barrier and then you just get it back with the 2nd ability

And unload shotgun on their faces

Oh nevermind, I got it backwards

Nova is what drains your barrier, then Charge gives it back

"the end"??? ppl are saying the same exact thing about the xbox given they are allowing their exclusive games on the PS.
So now, theres no point in having xbox since u can play their games on the Playstation and have access to PS exclusives at the same time... all in the same platform!
Smart ppl just get a PC tho 👍

[glossy kestrel]

nah, not necessarly... Deadpool 3 will "kinda reset" the MCU and place "everyone" on the same planet by building Battle World... prelude to Secret Wars even!
By the end of Secret Wars, everything will be reset and we will go back to a non multiversal story lines which will make things way more simpler!
They will then focus on mutants and fantastic 4 story lines from there on... with avenger characthers and spiderman in the mix!
"The Space Stuff" tho, or celestial stuff... will be around The Eternals... but tht wont interact with Earth prime!

what a fucking joke

that genuinely makes me angry

meanwhile the microtransactions in helldivers 2 are like $1-$2

and you can actually earn the currency

[shadow tartan]

Or just get the upgrade for 15 bucks

[strange dune]

LMFAO

[echo hill]

you know me too well

[echo hill]

prolly just gonna buy the $60 version

cause for once it actually a good value

[strange dune]

Should I just get the upgraded edition of hell divers 2? Still 10 dollars cheaper than AAA games I think.

[echo hill]

seems like a good value

[strange dune]

Alright

Oh wow this is shitty as fuck

Bug report

[dry copper]

I asked some other fans of the series and apparently they don't even have a completed story. They're calling 1.0 "Chapter 1"

[shadow tartan]

Sounds like some EpisodicMalarky

[strange dune]

Once I get Helldivers 2 is anyone down to play?

Actually idk if it’s even crossplay.

Yeah it is, but they've capped player count now so might be hard

Anyone planning up picking up Nightingale tomorrow? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtyK4EQxK0o

It's caught my interest and could well tide me over until LNF arrives (alongside NMS)

[dry copper]

Not even sure if it's worth playing. Nobody has given me more of an impression than "Meh"

Which is very very bad for a game

Esp a new game

I tried to get into open beta but it was so short that it was over before I could even finish installing

Another negative for the game

[silver sparrow]

i'm still going to buy sons of the forest and pacific drive when i get back from vacation

[dry copper]

I get the distinct impression we're about to witness another rug pull.

A game fully loaded with hype that fails to meet expectations on launch

That said, Enshrouded...fucking awesome

Some of the most recent patches to Dayz have been pretty good

[silver sparrow]

did they patch it to add a PVE mode 😛

other than me hunting around for PVE servers

[dry copper]

I mean...I play on pve servers so...yes?

I can't see them running their own official pve servers

[silver sparrow]

me neither

[dry copper]

Scum has gotten a lot of love, too

I wish it didn't have the horde system it has tho

That needs serious tweaking

The enemies can spawn all around you and detect you on spawn, wandering toward you even without aggroing

Scum has PVPVE, so when this happens people can triangulate your position no matter where you go

I will probably get Nightingale

I want to feel something.

[silver sparrow]

/kicks you in the ballllls/ lol

so you think nightingale will tank but you'll buy it anyway?

[dry copper]

I think its shitty reveal is a bad sign of a poor game that I can find out the truth on inside of 2 hours of playing and get a refund on it, if it is.

I was deflated by the one day open beta.

So I am....biased.

It looks awesome.

and it's on UE 5

[silver sparrow]

Anything else on ue5 hitting consoles soon?

Hell dippers?

[austere lance]

I feel sorry for these guys now that Helldivers stole their thunder

I recognize this one. I'm 99% sure that's from the music video for Weird Al's "Tacky"

[balmy plaza]

Anyone have tips to take down chargers in helldivers 2?

[obtuse reef]

probably use guns

[austere lance]

Nuke

[strange dune]

Use the unmatched power of the sun

[austere lance]

Remember bois, the bugs are easy mode. Go help the war effort against the tin cans

[dry copper]

Shoot arms

They're also weak to nades

There's a 100% dmg buff on their stomachs specifically to explosions

[strange dune]

Def gonna be playing this game by tomorrow

[dry copper]

If you shoot a charger in the head it can still live without its head

Armor on front legs is the weakest armor they have

Also, use magnum and it will penetrate that armor

[strange dune]

I forgot is helldivers crossplay?

[dry copper]

helldivers 2, yes

[strange dune]

Awesome

[dry copper]

Not sure about helldivers 1

[balmy plaza]

I've heard the disposable anti tank is good for that

[frigid yarrow]

This game is so beyond epic

[shadow tartan]

SWEET FREEEEDOM!

I went in to some Quickplay missions. It still had similar modes to the first but it's absolute carnage.
Camera view makes all the difference.

[shadow tartan]

One thing I haven't seen which I hope gets added is the APC

You could get your squad in and crush shit

Haven't seen the distractor either

Was kinda key to grouping enemies up

And if the Automatons are hard for people Illuminates on Hell Dive is gonna be insanity

Funny coincidence. I recently watched a vid about the collapse of Gamespy that left classic Battlefront without multiplayer.

Interesting that they're remastering it

Anyone remember it? 😄

[austere lance]

They're not remastering it, it's just new ports of the original games with multiplayer enabled. Which is LIT AS FUCK

[thorn dawn]

gamespy was good

multiplayer was bullshit in general in the late 90's/early 2000

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8k8R0Q2ubY

[mental rose]

From what I understand, it's more like an expansion pack of old, and not just DLC?

[dreamy zinc]

Expensions Packs and DLC are the same thing XD but i catch your drift

[glossy kestrel]

wht he said ^

DLC = downloadable content

meaning... expansions included!

its just tht ppl are so used to DLC's being a shity skin or a shity vehicle or some silly weps tht they forget 15 - 20 years ago expansions actually had meaningfull content and actual features!

Example... Cyberpunk new Expansion... adds alot of content, story, weps, cars, and core mechanics... But its still a DLC

[mental rose]

Exactly!

[balmy plaza]

Imo all expansions are dlcs

But not all dlcs are expansions

[glossy kestrel]

also true

both statements apply

[mental rose]

I still like to use the term Expansion Pack for content that imo. actually mean something as a title of reverence and respect.
I guess I'm just getting old... lol

[plain jewel]

Probably

[tame cairn]

either way it looks sick

i just know that girl will be hard

I went through the tutorial so far. It really doesn't wow you about anything. Combat is basic so far.

[tame cairn]

is that just malenia before...?

oh lord

[strange dune]

That’s awesome! Loved playing this game.

[tame cairn]

Lol wow

I can't even buy Shadow of the Erdtree collectors edition if i'm on xbox one

it doesn't even have anything that is exclusive to series x

just physical items

i just wanted to see how much it is but that's just odd to me

i see that it's $250 now

[earnest hatch]

This Expansion on Elden Ring very well might be the size of a game lmao

the map is said to be larger than Limgrave

and I would assume is more condensed looking at the video

[mental rose]

I wonder if AC6 is gonna get any DLC...

[tranquil glen]

Theres an AC5?

Walked right into that one... 😂

[tame cairn]

right

that doesn't have anything to do with physical items being series x exclusive though

i can still preorder the dlc on xbox one, just can't be the collectors edition

[tame cairn]

Unity is 5

technically

AC1, 2, 3, 4, Rogue being basically DLC for 4, Unity being the next full game

[earnest hatch]

no

I was more speaking on the fact that in the history of fromsoft as a company

no DLC or expansion has ever had a collectors edition too my knowledge

the collectors edition being locked is strange tho.

[tame cairn]

if this is true, this is gonna be big

and supposedly bigger than limgrave?
that's huge..

Starfield still fails to handle 32:9 screens

[tranquil glen]

Starfield fails at alot, not just that

[willow crypt]

i hope the DLC does more outside handcrafted locations

the reason their other games are good and fun to explore is because of their expertise in handcrafting locations

(that’s one aspect)

[tranquil glen]

• Being truly open (load/cutscenes and restricted mapping)
• Seemingly relying on outside modding to keep things relatively enjoyable outside of its low replay-ability
• copied highly of each location, seen it once seen every copy therefter

However I agree they do make great use of their artistry before copying

[willow crypt]

yep

[tranquil glen]

Then again many games do nowadays tho so even thats starting to slide for me

Then again, personally i feel more like linear games than open world

[willow crypt]

for sure, I enjoy linear games where environment artists have full control and more of a focus on what the player sees, and doesn’t have to worry about us seeing everything from every angle. So many devs have produced mediocre open worlds with little incentive to go anywhere, alongside filler side missions that are pretty much meaningless (besides allowing the player to level up).

[tranquil glen]

Aye, thinkin about buying the Bioshock collection on steam rn even tho i already got it on EGS

[obtuse reef]

already see Steam's forums gettin spammed with HD2 dislike

[pure zinc]

People who dislike it either haven’t played the game and are complaining about micro transactions (which you can literally get credits in game by just playing)
Or drm which is like… cry about it?
Or they’re just hating on it cos it’s popular. Me personally, it’s the most fun I have had in a game, and that was just with myself. I can only imagine how much more fun it is with friends.

[tranquil glen]

this particular only hating on it cause it at the moment has a lot less content and published time on its hands than Deep Rock Galactic

Raaahhhh

[pure zinc]

Real

I’ve never had a game before helldivers hype me up so much tho tbh

[dry copper]

Just watch that starship troopers movie

or Idiocracy

[strange dune]

Idiocracy is a documentary

[dry copper]

Idiocracy is a prophecy

[strange dune]

It is the future

[dry copper]

It's what plants crave

[strange dune]

LOL

[dry copper]

I'm thinking of buying a hat with a belt on it.

[pure zinc]

Odd

Who would think to put a belt on a hat

[strange dune]

There is an entire holiday that is centred around people wearing belts on their hats and shoes

[dry copper]

People that don't want to buy a new hat every time the wind blows

[pure zinc]

Is that thanks giving?

[strange dune]

Yes.

[pure zinc]

Weird

[strange dune]

Although it probably has a meaning beyond that

[pure zinc]

They prolly buckle their pants

[strange dune]

Yup. Something much darker. Probably can’t share it in the server.

[pure zinc]

What’s ur guy’s favorite enemy type to fight against so far?

I’ve been fighting automatons a lot because they seem to be the ones progressing closer to super earth faster, and I enjoy it pretty much. Also they’re harder to fight alone, so it makes me better when I do fight them alone

[keen fox]

I like fighting the bugs even though they are very annoying

[pure zinc]

I prolly haven’t fought enough bugs tbh

I’ve barely fought with them

[strange dune]

Terminids since they're easy 🤣

[pure zinc]

Fair

I just deleted mw3

Shoulda done it ages ago

But I chose to this time because I had to sit through an unskippable cutscene, advertising me to buy the previous battle pass with fomo tactics, and then advertising me to the current battle pass, with the purchase button highlighted. How a game like cod can pull that off and not get eaten to shreds by everyone is astonishing to me

[dry copper]

They already have your money and your time. They're just double dipping because they were late to school on advertising strategies and missed the part where being a c*nt was discouraged.

[obtuse reef]

COD has the user trust that it can throw away for a chance at more profit

[pure zinc]

True

[fallen notch]

"But we need [stupid thing] to increase our profits!"

[mental rose]

The first issue with CoD today, is that they insist on it's annualization.
"Crunch?"
"The hell is that? Get back to work!"

Churning out same stale bread, year after year...

Of course stuff's gonna get recycled

And Activision keeps doing this, because they know the CoD-kids that live in their parent's basements keep eating their slop

Aand that's the end of my rant.... been watching bit too much Angryjoe

[charred badge]

Does anyone happen to have a custom badge set to recommend for labelling genre-based n3ds folders?

[dry copper]

lol Donald Trump is trying to sell sneakers now? wtf

I just read they are manufactured in China.

[winter yew]

bruh he has pay half bil fine for fraud

[dry copper]

So? Aren't his businesses worth "substantially more" than he claimed? That means he has substantially more money than he's claiming, given the whole tax fraud thing only billed him on less.

Can't be rich and poor at the same time.

I mean...with fraud it's possible

[winter yew]

it's half a bil, feel like his businesses are only producing millions maybe tens of bmillions

[dry copper]

You'd probably be wrong there by a few hundred million.

[winter yew]

not mention legal fees

My bet he going run out money soon

[dry copper]

Dude flips properties so heavy that he triggered a fraud investigation for over pricing a mansion sale by over 50 million

He's just going to go into real estate full time.

That's where most of his profits come from

That and grifting

Donations from rich weirdoes that want to curry favor

Hotels are not a big for profit business. They barely pay for themselves.

What they do give you is a tax write off.

and a giant sign that says you have securities in case a loan fails

Not to mention having a hotel on prime real estate means you can secure location for special occasions for rich bitches that want what they want at whatever cost and don't want to wait

[tranquil glen]

I went to one of his hotels, whilst on vacation bc i was walking around hawaii

[mental rose]

I only remember the NY DA wanting to confiscate Trump tower, in case he can't pay.
That's the last news I read about this whole shitstorm

[dry copper]

I want eggs

[tranquil glen]

Also like didnt he “leave” his company in 2016 with his eldest son in charge to run it whilst he was president

Or is it because the DA is going after his family as well that it includes his company

[mental rose]

I'm looking at the article right now, and it's basically like this;
The DA wants to confiscate Trump Building if he refuses or is unable to pay the 350mil USD penalty fee.

[dry copper]

I'm pretty sure they are goin after the company for the relevant time the loans were taken out.

and his signature is on the loans

He can blame accountants all he likes. Ya sign off on a bad job, ya pay for it.

[tranquil glen]

ohh ok

Imagine being able to lift 230lbs with one hand

[shadow tartan]

Need to grind metals now

[shadow tartan]

I used TCP/IP

GameSpy was vital back then

[shadow tartan]

I signed for a loan, I said wow what a big loan.

[shadow tartan]

Illuminate may be added later which would be good

It's pretty much the same as the first one

Even when you go check missions on planets the layout is still very similar

This is current on the first Helldivers btw

Super Earth is under attack

lol@youtube advertising from AI

This is supposed to promote bitcoin.

This is what a programmed algorithm thinks sells bitcoin.

A middle aged billionaire who sold all his bitcoin last year at a loss.

[mental rose]

Crypto, Web3 and NFT's can kiss my hairy butt... never gonna invest in those scams

[dry copper]

Crypto is just a pyramid scheme masquerading as an investment plan.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPVukxFs6Ic

Devs can literally jump into difficulty sliders to influence the outcome of events

lol@this disparity

Claim high for loan. Claim low for tax purposes.

The hubris to argue in court, "It's not my fault I lied. It's your fault for not catching me sooner"

[shadow tartan]

I told a lie, a very big lie. It was a good lie.
One of the best lies I've ever heard in my life.

[dry copper]

Bigly

@idle saffron @fleet moat I got to top level being Donnie

[mental rose]

So it's like the Director from L4D, but instead there's a human behind it?
That's pretty cool

[fleet moat]

Omg Congrats, Nate!!! You may rule the world now! What's your fave color from the Top Gek role options btw? (default)

[shadow tartan]

Can I have purple please, Dearest Red. Most beautiful admin of them all

@strange dune @echo hill got a few funny videos I need to upload, got blown halfway across the map and into the sea for no apparent reason yesterday

[dry copper]

No reason or every reason?

[shadow tartan]

LOOK

[dry copper]

Yeah you got hit by something from spaaaaaace

[shadow tartan]

All I did was put down a turret

I wasn't even standing on it

Love this game

[dry copper]

First shot....A few milliseconds later

I hope that becoming a traitor doesn't permanently hurt your record as a PATRIOT

[strange dune]

Same here. Just finished editing a 3 minute video of Helldivers2 pure chaos.

[shadow tartan]

Yeah it's a bug

Mumbles watched my video though

1st view

Gonna make it big

[obtuse reef]

I watched it as well

You know that turret is good when it has its own space program

I love these little indie games that lean heavily into their art style

Like...fuck scale. Fuck reality. Lets just make something that is fun to play...and not so focused on being reality

I wish more games explored these creative elements

Try something different. Not just reskinned

[shadow tartan]

@echo hill when you down to play

@strange dune need to get you to 20 today if we can

[dry copper]

What's the point of leveling in the game?

[strange dune]

G u n s

And for freedom and liberty

[shadow tartan]

Gives access to stratagems

So you can manage democracy on higher difficulty levels
