This meme (stolen from here, actually) sums up the whole situation with HD2 really well

[dry copper]

One of the best covers I've ever heard.

[austere verge]

Anyone have and play Kerbal Space Program?

Looks interesting..

[obtuse reef]

Yes, I have

[austere verge]

Worth the buy?

[glossy kestrel]

This is sad... https://youtu.be/qado1A7yafU?si=fAp8Q1Azzp7AF_bw

[obtuse reef]

KSP1, yes

KSP2, no

[austere verge]

Thanks! Gonna give it a go

[glossy kestrel]

KSP 2 is dead... company went bankrupted btw!

KSP 1 is amazing 👍 (with all the DLC's)

[obtuse reef]

I will warn you, Kerbal Space Program actually needs a degree to understand it

[austere verge]

My degrees probably won't help lol [philosophy, sociology and logistics]

[glossy kestrel]

https://youtu.be/KwuhJCzOWs0?si=Otj-CXSUBr3f9_Q2

[obtuse reef]

It is a pretty realistic simulation of physics (when the Kraken isn’t ripping your ship apart)

[austere verge]

But I have a fairly good grasp on physics and space space flight so should be a good learning process

[obtuse reef]

You want to orbit a planet? You better know the g force of the planet, your ships mass, altitude, etc

A decent amount of time is spent in the map interface, planning your next maneuver

It’s still good, but I have 100 hours in the game and landed on another planet once

[austere verge]

Love the simulation style, so it sounds like my kinda game

[obtuse reef]

That’s a lot of corporate speak for “yeah, don’t hold your breath”

[austere verge]

Yup lol

[glossy kestrel]

This^

[austere verge]

So I'll just try ksp1

[mental rose]

Gonna be a depressing year for video game companies...

[glossy kestrel]

KSP 1 (with both Expansions) is 100% worth it 👍
Dont waate ur money on second one...

[obtuse reef]

Yeah, it’s very good

[austere verge]

Thanks! I live in Houston and have always been a NASA nerd so this should be exciting

[obtuse reef]

It’s hard, and Kraken attacks are frequent (the Kraken is just when the physics engine bugs out)

[austere verge]

NASA threads is where I saw this game in fact 😆

[obtuse reef]

I already bought KSP2 a good while ago, since I thought I was being smart by buying it before the price rose, but that’s $50 I’m not going to see again

I don’t think Steam will issue a refund, so I’ll just see what happens

[mental rose]

Ghost of Tsushima sitting at 68% score with 333 reviews.
Saw 1 or 2 negative reviews about performance, the rest were about the game being unavailable in non-PSN enabled countries

[sleek cloud]

what a surprise that a PC port has shoddy performance

[restive tusk]

seems the norm now

[tame cairn]

people are complaining about yasuke in that new ac game

and that you cant play as a japanese male, just a female

bro go play ghost of tsushima

[restive tusk]

boo hoo?

[tame cairn]

exactly

[restive tusk]

we gamers are a bunch of whiners. always finding something silly to complain about

(obviosuly performance is a valid reason, but stuff like that pfff

[tame cairn]

yeah its actually just annoying atp

[restive tusk]

when KCD came out and people started crapping all over it claiming sexism. Like man it's a story about a specific boy in the game, and even if they had resources to make an alternative with a female char, it wouldnt make sense for the game's historical scope

Even then they made an entire DLC based on playing a female char later on 🤷‍♂️

[tame cairn]

yeah it just makes no sense

i get yasuke wasnt actually a legit 100% true samurai

but he still had and did a lot of crazy things for a foreinger

some people just cant accept that he was there

he couldve gotten his own fief, really

but Oda, the samurai that took him in died

[mental rose]

People were complaining about Shogun for similar reasons as well...

[tame cairn]

and yasuke did along with him iirc

[tame cairn]

its funny because thats ALSO based on a real guy

William Adams

first samurai from england

[rotund cosmos]

Look, I've realized people don't want historical games. They want what they think is historical

[tame cairn]

lol yeah

very true

[restive tusk]

no no no, i will take the historical accuracy thanks xD

even if it shatters what i thought was true

is that new AC actually good Barb?

[mental rose]

Surprised nobody's thrown the "artistic liberties" card yet

[tame cairn]

they just revealed it so far, out in a few months i think

[mental rose]

November 15th, iirc

[restive tusk]

oh ok, im not in the loop.
i haven't pplayed an AC in a long time.. because well ubisoft. but if something great comes out i can eat my hat

[tame cairn]

Yeah, it's probably just gonna be another RPG but I don't know really

didnt look into it like that

I probably won't buy it

[restive tusk]

it will have to be really good, and a complete change from the style of gameplay ubisoft has been giving, but i can be convinced

[tame cairn]

yeah, mirage was pretty alright

i just miss the flashy parkour really

[mental rose]

Oh, but have you seen the editions? Look at Ultimate there, on the right.

"Players should get comfortable not owning games"

[restive tusk]

there you go... bye bye ubisoft, have fun

[tame cairn]

yikes

[restive tusk]

that statement alone... 😂

[tame cairn]

I liked mirage because it was all about the assassins

the creed, the gameplay

[mental rose]

Also wth is everyone suddenly doing the 3-days early access thing??

[tame cairn]

bureaus everywhere

[tame cairn]

yeah its actually stupid

"thats why you're paying so much!"

[mental rose]

If game servers (with live service games) aren't working on launch day, that benefit is completely wasted...

Happened with the Suicide Squad game

[restive tusk]

the stuff i think sold well in the past, when steam wasa only counting the time for refunds from the moment the game released.
so ppl did a playthrough then would sometimes refund.
But that was changed now.

Steam also seems to allow reviews early now for ppl who are playing pre release

so both were good changes. less scamming on both sides

[mental rose]

Homeworld 3 did it as well, which is why I'm so confused 😄

[restive tusk]

i really want HW3 having played homeworld 2 waaaay back then.
I just wish for a sale, not willing to pay current price tbh

[obtuse reef]

I don’t know, but three days of early access is not worth $100

I’d rather wait the three days

And then spend the $100 on something that’s polished

I’ve found that early access games can be a mixed bag. Sometimes they’re great games that just have that tag for some reason, other times they’re games that are asking for free bug testers

The proper use for an early access game would be an almost finished game that still needs some adjustments and changes but is still close to release

Not someone releasing a barely started game and having their players find the bugs for them

[mental rose]

But these days it feels like every AAA publisher has the "release broken, fix later" mentality....

[obtuse reef]

https://youtu.be/mu8MdQgqtzQ?si=EvafEvHCbpbe-380

That cat is indeed quite radioactive

[mental rose]

Capcom is one of the few remaining that still releases complete games.
At least when it comes to Monster Hunter and Resident Evil. Haven't played Street Fighter

[obtuse reef]

Extremely so, as a matter of fact

[obtuse reef]

It’s because of Bethesda. Skyrim is possibly the most broken game that still has popularity, so other developers see that and assume they can get away with the same thing

Not to mention that companies are enforcing tighter and tighter deadlines, so the developers barely have any time to develop the game, let alone fix it

[mental rose]

And that in turn leads to annualized releases, with recycled assets....

[obtuse reef]

It’s a vicious cycle that I’d maybe give a 50/50 chance of collapsing

I mean, eventually every AAA studio will be releasing games that are lower quality than what any indie dev can make

[restive tusk]

isn't that already the case half the time now?

[obtuse reef]

Yeah, but eventually it will be a 100% guarantee

[earnest hatch]

lets gooo

GTA 6 Fall 2025

just gotta live till then

[tame cairn]

heck yes

just another year

[sly kelp]

ksp is such a fun game

i love space games in general

[thorny python]

[faint zodiac]

[faint zodiac]

Nice thanks

[primal loom]

You're welcome

[primal loom]

Great pic, and shuttle too

[sly kelp]

thanks

[dry copper]

holy shitballs batmans aborted braincells....it took me all day to get the materials for this stupid amazing jetpack

[gritty blade]

should i try star citizen?

[coarse swift]

if you happen to acquire it for free somehow, sure

[inland oasis]

I got it and sheesh…. It’s a LOT to learn. It kinda detracts me from playing it cuz everything I wanna do I have to look up guides on how. The games terrible at teaching itself to you

“Game”

[gritty blade]

yeah i saw the keybinds

[inland oasis]

“Trying it” is what I’d say I did and holy shit

It’s overwhelming. Very detailed and incredible but wow

[gritty blade]

apparently they added a small tutorial

which is nice

[inland oasis]

They had one when I started. It teaches flying and a few other things. Unless they have another new one with the new 3.23 patch they released

My dumbass skipped it

So part of the blame for not knowing stuff is me

[gritty blade]

juuust gotta wait til they add even lower graphics settings

👍

[inland oasis]

Yea it runs pretty roughly for me also

But I’ve got a lower end mid grade machine.

[restive tusk]

wait another 5 years or so

[gritty blade]

til they finally go into beta testing?

[restive tusk]

maybe alpha 😂

that game will never be ready

im just being a downer, but you know the story

i was falling asleep on fo76

mate kept asking me why i was ramming into the mobs

"ah im just trying some close combat"

[gritty blade]

ngl all i need to get hooked on a game is good looking water and pretty sunsets

no matter the genre the water must look good

which for some reason didn't apply to NMS

'cause you know how vanilla water looks

[restive tusk]

it's only been what less than 10 years that games started having really good water graphics

i remember when oblivion came out and the water graphics were "jaw dropping" for the time x)

[gritty blade]

hg whyyy did you change how the water looks i cant see shit on the seafloor

[abstract belfry]

Been playing Borderlands 1 on PS4 solo it's kind of fun once you pass the creepy crawlies

[gleaming ermine]

One and two are both very good in my opinion. I started 3 but it's too early to say if its equally good

[inland oasis]

3 is awesome BUT and it’s a big but, the story is horrible. IMO. It’s fine but 1-2 had a certain charm and humor to it that BL3 either lost or tries toooo hard at.

Game mechanic wise, probably my favorite though

[white rover]

I can agree to this ^^

[white rover]

I will add, Mayhem mode in BL3 was hilarious though

[inland oasis]

Ohhh yea! mayhem mode is awesome. I forget I think like mayhem 4 is like more health n damage enemies but no modifiers, but I think like 200% loot chance rate increase. Cant remember exactly

Anything after 4 gets really tough with some of the modifiers

[white rover]

Yup I believe so! My friends and I played on Mayhem 9 or 10 last time (I cannot remember if 10 or 11 is the max, only that the max is the easiest mayhem level) and we were going through ammunition fast 😆

I'll be honest, I only really enjoyed 3 with company

[inland oasis]

I believe 11 is iirc. 10 is insane but 11 was like a troll mode. It’s as hard as 10 but none of the special rewards the rest give

[inland oasis]

I play on open online public all the time in hopes a random person joins in haha

[white rover]

Ah haha, I can't stand pubs, people cheat

I've seen unicorn grenades explode 100s of time from one throw lol

Doesn't quite crash the PS5, but it doesn't like it either lol

[inland oasis]

Yea I get that. I’m one of them lol. But I won’t do that if I were to join someone. I beat it so many times, playing it with some cheats solo is fun.

Like I could, technically have unlimited keys for that vault in sanctuary ship. Lol, inf health and shield and ammo, no reload, etc, no skill cooldown. Teleporting. All that. I like when I can do what I want in games. lol

I helped someone out once doing just that. Guy was asking if I could drop specific loot which that I can’t do but, I could do the vault, and I had him shoot which shtuff he wanted, and I just drop it for em. I prefer to help, not ruin someone’s game

[dry copper]

Whoa. Baldurs Gate 3 is on sale. I didn't see that coming...aaaaaand, it's only 15%...ffs

A 15% discount is like saying...hey, buy our game...We'll cover the taxes.

As a Canadian a 15% discount feels like a slap in the face more than a gift.

People are going to lose their minds if CDPR drops Cyberpunk 2 with no advertising. Just out of the blue. If the game is as CP2077 is now in terms of quality, with the abilities of the UE5 engine...uaifhekgejgkevjhkdf strokes

[gleaming ermine]

Like CP2077 at launch?

Or current state

[white rover]

Well, you are one of the tippable ones then

[inland oasis]

Not all heroes wear capes

[white rover]

You might do, I haven't seen your character 🤣

[white rover]

It alright lol, it's like 17-20 percent tax for PSN in the UK lol, and they keep the prices for years at the release price

Even if the game isn't as popular as it once was

[rotund cosmos]

AGREEED

[rotund cosmos]

Hopefully at current state of better

[gleaming ermine]

I heard it got quite good. But there is always a chance for a bad surprise cough Starfield cough

[inland oasis]

Cp2077 as of now, I highly recommend getting back into if you had a bad experience from the beginning

[gleaming ermine]

I haven't played it. I am a huge cyberpunk fan (not the cdpr game) and had high hopes for it being a first person rpg. But the trailers i saw were very disappointing

[white rover]

It's pretty good now, not really my kind of game as such but it's good fun

They've fixed a lot of the lady builds, however there are still some OP ones once you level up

[mental rose]

Also, there's police/gang car chases in Cyberpunk too... after long wait

[dry copper]

Isn't there a working tram now?

[mental rose]

Yes the monorail works now too

[dry copper]

All the game needs now are flying cars...that you can control without needing a mod

[white rover]

Is it really as bad as it looks?

I never played the dlc

[inland oasis]

purty night :3

[restive tusk]

I'm starting to think they just made the game so bright so that night's were more playable

and just went the lazy way and maxed gamma slider instead

[strange dune]

Fallout 76?

[dry copper]

Cute couple

[inland oasis]

yepp

i gawt a beeg gun

[strange dune]

I’ve noticed that my screen will snap instead of smoothly panning to different angles while running in 3rd person, that happen to you or is it just me?

[inland oasis]

yea its if you use the movement stick in any direction other that forward

the camera jukes rly hard along with the character if you test out running left n right while sprinting forward

it does it

[strange dune]

Oh…

[inland oasis]

fallout doesnt have diagonal walking animation afaik xD

nvm it does

but while sprinting its wonky

[strange dune]

I like sprinting in 3rd person too because I like to look at my power armour :3

So that’s the one thing that bothers me

https://tenor.com/view/fallout-hellcats-hellcat-hellcat-company-power-armor-gif-24924897

[inland oasis]

yea thats forever been a gripe for mee too.

https://medal.tv/games/fallout-76/clips/2dBWfpMSab5W0n/d1337TgUix00?invite=cr-MSxuZmosMTY4MzE4NDcxLA

As u can see it kinda like cancels my sprint if i move in any direction but forward while sprinting

[strange dune]

I wanna get T-60 now because of the TV show lol

[inland oasis]

and theres ur camera jiggle too

they expect us to turn by only movin the camera at all times lmao xD

[strange dune]

Yeah the camera jiggle is the only thing that bothers me, every other bug I find kinda funny lol

[strange dune]

Yeah and it’s a bit difficult to not move a different direction in the slightest using joysticks

[inland oasis]

100% most games have character animations that allow the model to move freely on its own without the camera

[strange dune]

Once saw an afk guy in his underwear floating in the air 🤣

[strange dune]

Yeah… well maybe if I get the game again I’ll get used to it, 76 was a crap ton of fun

[restive tusk]

that's some large fov Jenks.
maybe i shopuld try it, looks better 🤔

[restive tusk]

distortion aside

[inland oasis]

120 maxed fov

[restive tusk]

but for gameplay

jeeezus

ill start with 90 lol

[strange dune]

Jeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzuuuuuussssss

[inland oasis]

120 <-- --> 90

[restive tusk]

im more interested in the action sequences. like when moving. that little clip up there looked good. think ill prefer

[inland oasis]

thats also fully zoomed in 3rd person camera

u can zoom it way further out

[restive tusk]

my only issue is that while trying to shoot from cover the crosshairs arent as accurate and i may be shooting the wall in front of me

[inland oasis]

full zoomed out 120 fov

[restive tusk]

i see someone is a man of culture as well

[inland oasis]

i HATE 3rd person crosshair

doesnt matter if the gun isnt angled at the enemy

just put the crosshaiur on target

soooo annoying

[restive tusk]

yea !

and i prefer to play in 3rd person, unless im playing something like CS lol

[inland oasis]

for sure. i only use 3rd, except literally cuz of combat i dont, and when im sprinting alot cuz of the camera jitter

nothing beats the "slow walk" some times

one last gripe. i play at max sensetivity right. only reason is cuz while sprinting it like HALVES your turning speed ability...

and it STILL feels to slow while turning and sprinting

[strange dune]

They should fix these issues

Then add all their extra content later

[restive tusk]

iirc you have diff sensivity setting while aiming?
i have it a bit lower for accuracy i think

[inland oasis]

theyre minor, personaly bugs. im sure alot of people hate it but it doesnt attract enough attention i dont think

[strange dune]

That might be so

[restive tusk]

i still usually play games with sens on high cause i hate having to move my mouse too much

[inland oasis]

nope lmao

[restive tusk]

🤔

confusing it with another game again

FO4 ?

[inland oasis]

i just dont see a purpose of slowing down my turning when im sprinting at all in the first place

[strange dune]

Anyone else have an intense need to get T-60 now that the TV show released?

[restive tusk]

no, but only because im not a PA fan

[inland oasis]

oh btw im on controller

[restive tusk]

i can't play games where you have to aim on controllers

i mean i could, but i refuse

[strange dune]

I looked up T-60 in GIFs and got skibidi toilet 😭

[inland oasis]

btw @inland oasis
https://youtu.be/3PGOd2zx3HA?si=pz6EYwAufL3sMNSx

[inland oasis]

personally i like the X-01 armor

[dry copper]

Pisses me off that the wood helmet isn't available in the game without being a developer (or cheating)

It's not on any drop table

Only time it's been in the game is from people who accessed and glitched into a dev room

[mental rose]

Amen 😁

[obtuse reef]

“Enclave here, why isn’t your video feed working?”

I wonder if some poor bastard is still working to pay off that power armor he lost

At first, I never liked the Enclave power armor, I just thought it looked really weird. Then I learned about why the Enclave is terrifying

(Or should’ve been)

[mental rose]

It's that coal black look with orange eyes.
Ah... such a throwback. Love it. 😌

Also in Fallout 2 it's the best armor in the game

And then there's.... this fugly thing 🤢

[austere lance]

I wear Enclave X-02 power armor in F4, it slaps

In the form of a question?

Helldivers. For adults only.

It doesn’t dock with anything, because it’s scrap

I’d say it’s rusting away, but I shot it so much it’s more lead than steel

They still use lead in bullets?

[obtuse reef]

The cheap ones, yeah

Usually lead coated in copper

Tungsten is probably too expensive for use in anything other than large calibers or in AP ammo

The studio got closed, this is their last update

[restive tusk]

im just very surprised. everyone thought that was it.
the fact they gonna try to still do offline, thats p cool

[dry copper]

It's gotta be heart breaking as a developer to work on the final update of a project you worked so hard on that likely got pushed ahead of its launch readiness by the publisher to predictably shit results....Like feeding your child before putting them down.

[restive tusk]

what does this even do? is it good?

[dry copper]

You can get it ingame free.

[restive tusk]

oh kk

[restive tusk]

motivation must be through the roof at Arkane austin to push this last update 😄

[dry copper]

It's not bad though I'm told.

It's only second to the chainsaw in raw damage output

for melee

I got the chainsaw on drops

ngl...I don't like it

requires you to get right in their faces

[restive tusk]

welp its melee

[dry copper]

Really only good as a gtfo of my face weapon

If you're going to go weapon...get a rocket sledge

melee that is

[restive tusk]

oh i have one

[dry copper]

rocket sledge has insane damage and there are weightless mods for it

[restive tusk]

im not a fan of the slow melee thing. co-op buddy is using it though

[mental rose]

God fricking damnit... 😒

[dry copper]

If you hit hard enough, how fast you hit them won't even matter

[restive tusk]

true

it boils down to gameplay preference

[inland oasis]

I use this one named sledge hammer. Ugh I forget the name

Last rights? I think

[dry copper]

I'm going to eventually be running an archer build. It's just so fun

[restive tusk]

IT IS!

[inland oasis]

BIG ass hammer. Bigger than super sledge

[restive tusk]

i am running an archer

[dry copper]

I got the chinese stealth suit today. It's shit

It's worse than my BOS heavy combat armor

[restive tusk]

it';s "made in china" whatt you expect

:x

[dry copper]

My BOS heavy combat was 365ballistic, 405energy and 75 radiation
The suit was 234 ballistic, 234 energy and 1075 radiation

[mental rose]

Doesn't it make sneaking easier tho? It's not meant to take hits 😄

[dry copper]

I'm not sacrificing 200+ defense to get stealth that I can already get with the chameleon mod

[inland oasis]

I gotta get the damn power armor stand plan still. Lvl 56 and still haven’t done the quest that gives it cuz I can’t be asked to clear out the place of bots again, and craft the two peices of legs for power armor

[dry copper]

I can get wooden armor that's better for sneaking than the chinese stealth armor

[inland oasis]

Got like 3 power armor sets chillin in the stash

Do they still take up stash space in the stand ?

[dry copper]

yes

[inland oasis]

Oh fuck my life

That’s so stupid

[dry copper]

It takes up 10 storage for a full suit

Just make sure it's attached to a chassis

[inland oasis]

I’ve been working with like 30 units of space for like ever now

Got guns I wanna use when I have the ammo

And mostly resources cuz I barely build

[dry copper]

Get this. Once you finish the main story, you get access to bullion vendors

The bullion vendor in Crater sells an ammo machine that literally makes whatever bullets you want

[inland oasis]

The converter

Yea I need that

[dry copper]

Not the converter

The converter exchanges ammo for points you can use to make bullets. The bullet machine just makes bullets.

No need to feed it crap

[inland oasis]

There’s gotta be some kinda limit to it

[dry copper]

It doesn't do it quickly. If you want bullets fast, I know a way to score 1000 consistently

Get the gun you want bullets for, equip it in the ready. Go to Vault 76, hang a right and go west down the stairs and down that street. There are seven bullet containers down there. Once you get the final one near the southern fence, go through the hole in the fence south to a broken down jeep for another one. From there, go west to an abandoned camp for two more, then head south a bit passed a little pond to a BOS camp for twelve more

For a total of 21 containers.

[inland oasis]

Oh yea, loot routes

[dry copper]

21 containers of anywhere from 15-45 bullets per container.
315-945 bullets in one run

Takes like 5 mins tops

[inland oasis]

I have scrounger too etc

I’m ALWAYS gettin meds and extra ammo lmao

[dry copper]

I don't even make ammo half the time. I just do that run and I'm set for an event or whatever I'm doing

[inland oasis]

So having a gun equipped weights the drop to be for the gun your holding?

Cuz I’m boutta farm up some .50 then

[dry copper]

If I need ammo in a pinch and I've already run that event, I just go to summerville and into the first house where where it's full of books. I loot all of the books in the house and drop em all on the floor. That rotates the loot table and repopulates the containers.

Yes it does

[inland oasis]

Oh that’s neat. I started feeling like that was a thing a few days ago, always getting 5.56 when I was using it

Makes sense now

[dry copper]

Incidentally rotating the loot table also repopulates cap stashes

I have two cap stash routes I use for a few hundred caps a run

[restive tusk]

Park Ranger Lucy

[dry copper]

I had 10k caps yesterday though. I'm starting to get more caps then I can spend

Or rather than I would spend

I bought a bunch of secret service shit from minerva

She's only available until monday at the whitespring

[inland oasis]

Not sure if this is exploitable but I was in this one cave, found some power armor, and was gonna get it on my way out. Well my game crashed and I spawned back outside the poi. Went back in and the loot was rearranged which I figured cuz I crashed. But I left, went back in immediately, and THEN the power armor was back again and refreshed

It was a cave where a loading screen happens to go in

Not open world

[dry copper]

It's exploitable but not worth exploiting. That power armor is garbage

[inland oasis]

I just meant the loot refreshing in general

Cuz I can simulate a crash with alt f4 lmao

Or if leaving and going back in is what resets it

[dry copper]

It's normal

Repopulating the loot table is a recognized technique for refreshing empty areas

All you did was refresh it when it wasn't needed

[restive tusk]

Stuffies collection

wish there was a better display

[inland oasis]

See id love to do all that but I ain’t waiting stash space

[restive tusk]

but stuffies are light tho

[dry copper]

I need to get me the flame trap for my base so I can use it for making custom displays

[inland oasis]

Doesn’t matter how light something is when your always at 1170+ / 1200 😂

[restive tusk]

like 0.25/.30 for each

[dry copper]

bulk your shit

[restive tusk]

im only keeping one of each

[inland oasis]

I did

[dry copper]

Gotta start prioritizing

Turnin into a hoarder

[restive tusk]

yea sadly i had to do it

[inland oasis]

Its all my radaway stims, and water purified water etc

[restive tusk]

got rid of a bunch of matelrials that are mosttly for building since right now im not building anything crazy

[dry copper]

ugh. Sell that shit.

[inland oasis]

But I’m always burning thru it

[dry copper]

You get so much you don't need to keep more than 40 total

[restive tusk]

yup[ had to get rid of my pharma too

[dry copper]

How?

[inland oasis]

By playing?

The game makes ya drink n eat

[dry copper]

Oh the water

I don't even pick that up. I have wells that give me purified water.

[inland oasis]

I just always keep a lot cuz I usually use a lot

The second I sell it I’ll regret it and need it

[restive tusk]

the well is atom shop only?

[dry copper]

probably bullion but not sure where if it is

[restive tusk]

gonna save my atoms for well

[dry copper]

The only bullion vendors I know of are minerva, sam and mortimer

[inland oasis]

Oh I thought you meant the blue water pump or the ones you place in water

[restive tusk]

thats dirty water

the well gives pure

[inland oasis]

My char don’t give a flying fk

😂

[restive tusk]

lol

[inland oasis]

You boil dirty water

Xp n make into purified

[restive tusk]

but doesnt purified give mor % thirst?.

[inland oasis]

Yea

I’m saying you bulk the dirty

Craft pure

Out of it

[restive tusk]

craft pure how?

[dry copper]

Filter

[restive tusk]

oh oky doky

[inland oasis]

I swear cooking stations had a way

[restive tusk]

gotta find that

[inland oasis]

I thought

[dry copper]

Isn't there a water filter on the season board?

[inland oasis]

Am I going FO4 mode?

[restive tusk]

think in FO4 theres also no way to purify at cook station

after all you cant boil radiationn or heavy metals out of water

would only increase concentration 😆

[obtuse reef]

Watch me

In any case, the lead adds flavor

[dry copper]

Skyline Valley Update is coming soon.

[obtuse reef]

And the radiation gives it a little tingle

[inland oasis]

You make them at the campfire cooking station but still need the water filters

[dry copper]

I heard Skyline Valley adds a new area to the main map

Sorry it's not a water filter it's a boiler that produces boiled water

I think it's level 56 on the scoreboard

[restive tusk]

i know you can use walter filters, but i havent even seen one so far

so ill be trying to save for the Well

in the atom shop

[dry copper]

Used to be you had to craft water filters

[restive tusk]

terrible coloour gunter.
I like purple, but its not very readdable

[inland oasis]

Also, it’s one filter per 1 purified water 🥴 not sure it’s worth the farm for the materials to make one, or the time to find one, for ONE pure water

The hell kinda economy is that

[dry copper]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iTG1m0OGbU

[inland oasis]

Ngl I think shotguns need a redo. Mine tickle enemies

[restive tusk]

yyup... water wells it is

[restive tusk]

you need to get all the pebbles on the enemy :p

[inland oasis]

They do, all yellow. 13 is the damage

At 56 that’s a tickle to enemies

[restive tusk]

my buddy was complaining about the same, but when you actually use it a super short range like supposed to does quite some dmg

[obtuse reef]

Shotguns are notoriously bad at piercing armor (realistically, that is)

[inland oasis]

It has to bee 100% face, from 2 ft away

Then yea sure

[restive tusk]

hmm. does it not have armor piercing mod

[inland oasis]

It’s a FACE shot

With a shotgun

[obtuse reef]

Well, then don’t use shotguns that an irradiated drug addict made out of PVC and tetanus

[restive tusk]

so how do i unlock this next pages?
stuck here

[inland oasis]

Reach rank 14

Check da bottom 😂

[restive tusk]

werird number but ok

i thought i did read everything. sorry

[inland oasis]

Lmao your good, jus so you knew how I figured it out 😂

[restive tusk]

never reveal your trade secrets

[dry copper]

Fastest way to rank up is to do the challenges iirc

I do the daily and weekly as often as I can recall

[inland oasis]

I tried a daily op today and got my ass flipped inside out… I couldn’t do it

[restive tusk]

i check it often. some of them harder to do for a newbie
Like kill 5 blood eagles... well idk where to find them so

[dry copper]

I don't recall often because..."Thou shalt get side tracked by bullshit every time"

[dry copper]

the valley

[restive tusk]

yea, but you know just giving an example

then gotta go out of my way to do it, when im still trying to finish the main quests

[dry copper]

and then it costs a fortune to travel around....Highly recommend getting someone to port you around to the areas where travel is free to save money in the future by bouncing off those points to where you wanna go for fast traveling

[inland oasis]

40 caps gets me cross the map lol

That’s expensive?

[dry copper]

12 caps gets me across the map and that's not even using travel agent perk card

Just bounce off a free travel point

[inland oasis]

I never saw the price of fast travel as being a fortune lol. I mindlessly do it all the time

[dry copper]

I'm poor.

[inland oasis]

Selling one gun to the railroad station bot usually is enough to travel

[dry copper]

...and I manage finances like someone that does not have all of the things.

The railroad bot runs out of money...and I hate it

[inland oasis]

True, but 1200 ish caps is like 100 fast travels

‘Not to mention all the caps u make along the way then

[dry copper]

I don't care what their logic is - trying to force people to sell to people only puts more weight on the storage system that's already poorly managed.

[inland oasis]

Yea I’d rather just go to a vendor that gives me 2% what something’s worth than sit and wait for a player to BY CHANCE show up and buy my stuff

Not to mention the pricing is a complete free market

[dry copper]

Is captain America bullet proof?

I've never seen suggestion he is, but I've never seen him eat a bullet

[inland oasis]

I think he can be shot

Bullet resistant maybe, but not bullet proof

[dry copper]

Seems a little stupid how many fights he has been in that they always use energy weapons instead of bullets on him

[inland oasis]

I wonder if vibranium is magnetic

[dry copper]

A bullet hitting that shield would make it vibrate like a bell

Shit would hurt like hell

[inland oasis]

It’d be like a gong x100

[restive tusk]

well.. then where... wtf

[dry copper]

Oh lord. Even Kyle hill is going fallout batshit crazy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYF7XnfoNV4

[inland oasis]

Aren’t those the things used to install legendary traits onto weapons?

[dry copper]

yes

[inland oasis]

Yea they weigh nothing

[restive tusk]

Fallout is getting all the good clicks still :D

[inland oasis]

So I have a plasma Gatling which I figured out uses PLASMA cores which I had mistakenly bought FUSION cores for… then went to use my energy Gatling, with the PLASMA cores, and realized that one uses the fusion cores. Ffs that had me so mixed up

I always mix up plasma and energy. Cuz I think of plasma as a type of energy

[restive tusk]

i also don't know what to do with these nuclear keycards 🫠

no explanation in description

[inland oasis]

Yea same. Also those radio beacon things you get off the scorcher officers

I like having a rly clean inventory except the bare essentials, so the whole storage issue is a big pet peeve of mine 😂

[restive tusk]

mine too. and i was ready to pay cash for it.
but paying subscription, not really rdy for that

[inland oasis]

I’ll never do it

[restive tusk]

for the Scrap Stash that is

[inland oasis]

I’d pay once for the storage yea.

But nah not a sub

[restive tusk]

feels unecessarily predatory the limitations and pressure..
i already paid full price for the game so..

[inland oasis]

Funny part is you say that in the fallout discord and “you’re so entitled how else does Bethesda make money?!?”

Like uhhh…. A good game being sold? That’s how

[restive tusk]

bro...

and just in this tiny sample right here, 2 people who would pay for the damn stash if it wasnt a sub

thats my only gripe with it

[inland oasis]

Like it’s arbitrary FAKE pixel space

The fact id pay at all

I’d give the game a 9/10 if we had inf storage

That ONE thing

And also maybe each container being it’s own thing, per base

Essentially FO4 inventory system

But that one limitation kills like half my desire. 6-7/10

Kinda wish there was like a “grand exchange” type of hub area to sell stuff at too along with our camps

[restive tusk]

hmmm... yup. instead of your shop being limited in visibility to the small server instance, like a proper game wide instanced area where you could place a market and cehck everyone else currently online

Or could even be much simpler and just be a UI market window

i like the concept of the small store stalls, but it's not ideal

[inland oasis]

Yea like I don’t like having to be online for my stuff to sell. I get why, but I wouldn’t mind my stuff selling while I’m not on, and then when I log in being notified “hey this sold while you were away”

I mean shit just give me an NPC at this point that just buys everything for low ass prices with inf caps. Just somewhere I can garunteed sell without having to hop vendor to vendor bot cuz of the cap limit

I wanna try the “event” world kinda. Says there’s unlimited ammo in guns. But progression obviously isn’t shared so I genuinely don’t understand the point

[restive tusk]

could be something just for quicker instant gratification fun with friends

haven't tried it

[inland oasis]

yea maybe, but then to just go back to where u were and lose it all? lol sure sounds fun to me

[restive tusk]

you're maybe not supposed to be worrying too much about your possessions and stuff

just like a quicker gameplay i really dunno

[inland oasis]

le beeg Bonk

and yea maybe

[inland oasis]

totally gotta name this to runescape granite maul xD

[restive tusk]

why does it show one star on the left, but the leg mod i3 3 star

i still dont know how the system really works

[inland oasis]

my only guess is its cuz its a unique named weapon. not a random legendary

aside that legendaries just go 1,2,3 tiers. obv 3 is best

[restive tusk]

why is there 5 star slots

[obtuse reef]

[silver sparrow]

also OW i guess

gonna be honest thought i had played all SimCity games since the first in the 90s

i never knew thay made a DS version

gonna have to find it on ebay

[obtuse reef]

<@&590975379678953522> I think this is a scam post or whatever

[cyan pebble]

It's not lol

[obtuse reef]

you're still not supposed to be advertising stuff like that here

[cyan pebble]

Kickstarter is legit in case you did not know. I know there can be scams on kickstarter, this isn't one of them. Check it out if you don't believe me or google: kickstarter.com reviews

It's #other-games ... I'm not sure where else to talk about other games? But if it's not allowed, by all means, have it removed. I'm just trying to do something positive.

[coarse swift]

Everyone knows about kickstarter

Whether or not you're actually just trying to do something good, it's gonna come off as a phishing attempt, scam attempt, or IP grabber. If you wanna promote something here, ask the mods.

[cyan pebble]

I understand the optics. The lack of an embed also makes it look more sketchy. Either way do as you will. There's less than 2 hours left and less than 5k needed. Though I think it'll be reached without the help of anyone here, or honestly, the devs would probably still do it considering the passion behind them, even if that last 5k isn't reached.

[weak tiger]

Yeah, unfortunate how many scams there are lately :(.

[coarse swift]

[weak tiger]

Well, not just lately I guess

[coarse swift]

4.4mil to go open source?

Why?

[cyan pebble]

I wrote that message for a smaller discord where everyone knows me. Then decided to just copy paste it to places such as this.

[cyan pebble]

Yea really not sure what the logic or reasoning behind that is. Star Control has had a history of some slight controversy and I think this open source thing ties into that a bit.

[coarse swift]

incentive to back just lowered

[restive tusk]

I'd say it makes sense to me. Going open source is losing control over the ip, so it better make the studio a decent profit?

[coarse swift]

True I spose

[cyan pebble]

The controversy is about rights to the name.

These devs are the original team behind the game or something, but some money grubbers took control of the Star Control name. So these guys decided to continue the legacy under new names. I mean, Star Control: Origins is a very disappointing continuation of the series. Free Stars aims to make up for that.

Wendiget the fuck out

[south hill]

Can I share a sekiro clip if it has some… questionable music?

[inland oasis]

Probably safer to mute it if you think you even have to ask 😅

[obtuse reef]

Wendi-go away, you nosy bastard

[mental rose]

Rapid Morph is godtier, because not only does it make switching modes faster, it's raw damage buff.
But I'm biased, because I'm a swaxe main 😁

Infinite combo loops are fun

[restive tusk]

so the outfit i guess works fine for Morgan.
But the hat is so bad

can't be a fedora, gotta find a more cowboy-y one

[inland oasis]

We need more caps Arthur

[restive tusk]

lol

[inland oasis]

Ngl you could say that’s Indiana jones and it’d pass for that too

[restive tusk]

i also will have to do something about the face i guess

the other hat

[inland oasis]

Lmao yeaaaaa, deff the other one

[restive tusk]

i just wanted to do a revolveer build kinda thing and give it arthur-y looks

[inland oasis]

Close enough. Idk if fallout rly has the customization with the face enough to make it even look close. But I’m bad at it anyways too

I tried making my character look like the old dude from far harbor

[restive tusk]

im not good with the face sculpting things either.
im not too picky on it, just want the outfits at least to be close

maybe there's a blue shirt , black pants or close enough.

default morgan outfit

[inland oasis]

I think that the hat would totally make a difference if they have a good cowboy one somewhere. I remember finding a small Nuka world area like western looking. Maybe something there.

I’ve started rocking a blindingly bright pink suit now if I’m not in my PA 😂

[restive tusk]

I had the "used to be a server at Denny's before the war" look

[inland oasis]

Waffle House lookin ahh 😂

[restive tusk]

hehe

do the Puwalski booths save you from these blasts?

[sonic sonnet]

I was playing destiny 2 yesterday...
I played for 9 hours and completed mission 1...traning...😂

Been sometime since I had such a long gaming session

[inland oasis]

Possibly. Never tried. I doubt it tho, cuz I’ve found skeletons in several of them 😂

[dry copper]

@restive tusk Another ammo tip I was shown today I didn't realize (but it makes sense), if you need ammo from the ammo converter, craft railway spikes and convert them for points. They only require steel so...

Mass producing those can net you a lot of any other ammo

[inland oasis]

i dont understand why anyone would craft the diluted versions of stims and rad away

they take an actual one to make i think 2 diluted,

what purpose does that serve....just use the redular

[dry copper]

Some people use perk cards which boost your heal and don't take a ton of damage

Require less healing for the same results

and half the mats

Bloodied for example

[inland oasis]

a regular stim will always heal more than dilluted tho

[dry copper]

Half the stim is wasted on a bloodied build

and it weighs twice as much

[inland oasis]

bloodied?

im guessin less hp more dmg

[dry copper]

Bloodied is when you permanently nerf your health bar to force the game to calculate your damage at a higher %

[inland oasis]

ohhhh

glass cannon lol

[dry copper]

A lot of perk cards give dmg based on healthbar

Not a glass cannon

You can be bloodied and tanky af

There are perk cards that give you bonus tankiness the lower your health

Hell, you can get a perk card that gives you a shit ton of dodge when low health

Dodging dmg = No damage

It's a stupid calculation too and includes aoe dmg from shit like nukes

Yes. You can dodge the dmg from a mini nuke

That with the right vampire weapons and unyielding gear can turn a bloodied build into an absolute monster in both pvp and pve

I refuse to play bloodied. I'm sure it's better in terms of performance, but I can not stomach having so little health

I like being able to manually hit a stim when I need health

Bloodied players are so close to death all the time, if they had to rely on manually healing they would die every time

They need to use perk cards that auto stim

[inland oasis]

I have armor peices with that

25% autostims me

[dry copper]

That ability is largely benefitting a bloodied build

[inland oasis]

But yea I would hate to use a bloodied build

[dry copper]

Today I'm going to get my shadowed wooden armor mod

I want to test a fully shadowed wooden armor set

[inland oasis]

I gotta re farm up on stims. Burned through like 59 yesterday doing stuff that was way too tough… lol

[dry copper]

If the stealth is good, I'm going to build a stealth dodge build

Do you have the perk card for meds?

For farming them

[inland oasis]

The luck one for more outta containers?

[dry copper]

yeah

[inland oasis]

I have one for ammo chems and caps

Yepp

[dry copper]

Apparently you can make stimpacks from ticks?

[inland oasis]

They drop bloodbags I thought

[dry copper]

Those are required for stimpack crafting

[inland oasis]

Then that’d make sense

Blood bag + a sting wing proboscis should be a crude stimpack 😂

[dry copper]

Apparently it requires purified water to make em too

Surprised they don't ask for saline

[dry copper]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/UU0lEOdo-io

[dry copper]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/KnIZFlHI3-I

I think FO76 should remove the entire fusion core dynamic.

and remove stealth from power armors

Like...shit. You got a fusion core that has lasted hundreds of years being spent in an hour or less of running around on a suit that can go invisible and be undetectable despite sounding like a fricken freight train

Power armor should be made for players that want to go loud....Not micromanage power

If they want to have a power micromanagement system, make it like the food system. Benefits but no negative consequences for not abiding it.

[inland oasis]

so do i only have lvl 3 lockpick skill when all three are equipped or do i ONLY need tge master one, and the other 2 are wasted points?

[idle saffron]

You need all 3

Same for hacking

[inland oasis]

damnit

thx

[idle saffron]

You can change perks at anytime, leave them off till you get a high one to pick

[inland oasis]

those are my equipped ones

[idle saffron]

Ya, but you can change those on the fly - so you don't have to always have them equipped if you don't want to

[frigid yarrow]

ok, doing it legally this time, NMS for PC64

whoever wants to try it https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=32724

[inland oasis]

so having the single "master" is identical to only having the basic "lockpicker" if its the only one equipped. lol

i dislike that

[idle saffron]

Aye

[inland oasis]

whats the poiint of even ranking them up then?

[idle saffron]

Later on you can get a legendary perk that replaces that

You can't level those up

[inland oasis]

oh wait those u cant

yea

i have a +3 str one rn for legendary perk

[idle saffron]

There is one for picking and hacking, when leveled you auto hack and pick locks

[inland oasis]

oh wow nice

current build

[idle saffron]

What's strong back do at level 4

+40?

[inland oasis]

ye

Welcome to the new T50%

[dry copper]

What are you trying to say?

That man has to give the dude editing his videos a raise

The sheer volume of shit this man records makes production a bitch.

[idle saffron]

You can also do a questline that gives a full set of Ultracite power armor

people act like yasuke hasn't been a popular person in media
sure thats probably why they did it but yasuke is genuinely interesting

yasuke just got a show on netflix not long ago, i havent seen it but yea

he's also afro samurai, or at least afto samurai is based off him

https://tenor.com/view/dlfn-gif-21140881

but ubisoft making the game so expensive is a meme

[mental rose]

That still doesn't justify starting an edit war on Wikipedia and trying to rewrite actual history

[tame cairn]

if you use wikipedia for your best source theres already a problem

but what are people trying to change?

[mental rose]

They're constantly deleting the one paragraph about there being no confirmed evidence that Yasuke ever was a samurai.

[tame cairn]

Yeah, just a retainer right?

someone who looks over the lords fief while the lord is away
basically the hand of the king in GoT

"just a retainer" isn't really a "just" though

retainers had power

he was a warrior

Retainers were warriors

even if he didnt have the title samurai

[inland oasis]

im SO bright 😄 xD

[tame cairn]

or at least, wasnt mentioned

[dry copper]

Kashindan are a class of samurai

Kashindan are the "retainers"

[tame cairn]

a retainer in fuedal japan is basically a vassal, usually a samurai, providing military services

i mean, either way its not like Oda would get someone significantly stronger naturally and not do battle with him

i feel like people just don't WANT him to be a samurai

[mental rose]

I had to actually go through older versions of the page, but this paragraph was the hot potato that was constantly being deleted and restored

Current page itself is still protected from edits

[dry copper]

I don't know why it matters. I find people who think it does in a video game are disingenuous about their real interests in the video game and more vested in using the perceived controversy as a cudgel than in being respectful of content.

Unless you're talking about the cartoon, but that too is a work of fiction

I tire of the constant crying over historical accuracy in fictional works

Imagine if they treated Samuel Clemens works with this level of vitriol

"There's no way huck finn would get away with that bs. He'd have died of dysentery long ago"

Worse...This field of broken ideologies aimed at destroying the integrity of fiction and fact alike create a culture that absolutely thrives on anti-intellectualist ideals.

If nothing can be true, all things are true.

Obviously, some things are true - but this culture of arguing about everything on the basis of its relationship to reality and what it owes to history seeds a contempt that fosters lying.

[austere lance]

Why are people mad about a black samurai being "historically inaccurate" in the same game series where an Italian dude kills the Pope to stop him from using an alien artifact to conquer the world, lol

[dry copper]

because they are flakes that don't understand art.

Even at it's most basic level, the video game is an artistic expression.

Not saying it's great.

Just find it weird to hear of people being so literal about pieces of art

[austere lance]

Tfw "historical inaccuracy bad" but everyone was hyped when you fought actual Egyptian gods in AC Origins 😂

Or went to Hades, Elysium, and FUCKIN ATLANTIS in AC Odyssey to help an ancient alien race

[dry copper]

When aliens do eventually visit earth, I hope they never find the assassins creed video game.

Aliens will play it and be like..."How can they be so stupid and so smart at the same time? This game makes no sense"

Did they touch on the alien narrative in the AC movie with that magneto actor guy?

[austere lance]

AC universe writers are on drugs, lol. Ancient aliens saved ancient humans from the sun roasting the earth by turning on a giant energy shield, while sacrificing themselves in the progress besides like 5 of them who went into stasis so they could wake up and erase all traces of their race from Earth

And some humans have a bit of alien DNA in them, so they can use the Animus

[dry copper]

"We gotta find the grand kid of the dude that Steve from accounting boned when we were aliening it up"

[austere lance]

Goofiest shit ever written, lol. Imagine caring about historical accuracy when playing those games 😂

Personally I think the game will be cool if they don't ruin the stealth stuff with RPG shit like they did with Odyssey. Having to grind levels so you're strong enough to actually assassinate people is stupid

[dry copper]

There is the off chance, this whole debaucle is just smoke and mirrors to; as Asmongold touched on, hide the absolute shit price point the game launches at

If people are talking about this, they'll probably be less engaged with giving that story any oxygen

Asmongold is flip flopping like a mf

On the one hand he's arguing it's a work of fiction and it should be allowed to be that, then flips the script and bitches that there's no escapism because it allegedly tries to sell a character he can't believe is possible

That's a little hypocritical

[tame cairn]

for real it really doesnt matter

especially because its like midway through the game is where yasukes actual real life story ends

when Oda dies

he has nothing else about him after that

[tame cairn]

i dont see why it matters if he even did any of those things
still an interesting person

[dry copper]

Listening to the video in the bg of a task I'm doing...He's played both sides of the same argument

Contradicts himself...Now he's using a specific reference "authentic fiction"

[tame cairn]

to be honest though, if all of what yasuke did or supposedly did is made up

hes no different than all the other AC protags

its fiction lol

[austere lance]

It's $70 like most other games that have released lately, lol

BG3 costs the same

[dry copper]

If we're to believe Asmo, it has special editions for early access or some shit. He went on about it being $130 at one point

and I wouldn't say most games are selling at $70 lately

[austere lance]

As has every Assassins Creed game since at least Origins, lol

All AAA games

[inland oasis]

Thought 100$ was the usually premium edition price

[dry copper]

Which AAA that sold for $70 was worth $70 though?

Ghost of Tushima?

That literally came out yesterday.

Eldenring?

I can't remember what that sold for on launch

I heard it was good

[austere lance]

Tsushima is like three years old, lol

[dry copper]

On PC too?

[austere lance]

No, but it's existed as a game for a couple years. It's not new

[austere lance]

Premium edition prices for games wildly vary, lol

[austere lance]

Who determines what a game is worth?

[dry copper]

I do.

[inland oasis]

That’s true I’ve seen from 89.99 up to 120

[dry copper]

Jedi Survivor was worth $70

[inland oasis]

And as for collector editions I’ve seen upwards of 200-240$

[austere lance]

People freaking out over AC Shadows pricing is bizarre to me . The standard edition costs as much as any other AAA game that's released in the last two years and Ubisoft games in general have had multiple editions of varying prices for like a decade

[dry copper]

plus it will drop in five months if it doesn't sell well

50% off

They'll wanna recoup them invested costs

If it does sell well, they'll prob do some sort of Ubisoft+ discount to get more people to subscribe for it

[austere lance]

Pretty sure all their games hit Ubi+ day one now

[tame cairn]

neither were $70, before that happened i believe

ghost of tsushima will most likely be the better game once shadows releases anyways

the combat is already amazing

idk how shadows will compete with that alone

recent ac combat feels terrible compared

[austere lance]

People who have played Shadows are saying the combat isn't as good as Tsushima but it's still surprisingly good, and it's as brutal as Valhalla's combat was. Decapitations and whatnot are still a thing

[tame cairn]

valhallas combat wasn't good though

thats the thing

decapitations dont make it good

but its always nice

its weightless

[inland oasis]

Take me back to assassins creed 2 combat 😅

[austere lance]

I reworded it

[tame cairn]

weightless combat isnt fun

[austere lance]

Combat emphasizes parrying and whatnot, apparently

[tame cairn]

i will forever say Unity had peak combat

It was hard, almost forcing, but not really, to use stealth

and Unity's stealth is top tier

[inland oasis]

Even black flags combat was alright

[tame cairn]

Yeah but its still easy

[inland oasis]

That one’s personally one of if not my fave. Unity too tho

[tame cairn]

Unity's wasn't easy
especially because there were no body shields

[dry copper]

Once you've played Unity and felt the free flow parkour....you can't go forward without reflecting

[tame cairn]

A lot about that game is so fun

[dry copper]

It's like dating a girl whose a very good cook

[tame cairn]

Open World multiplayer assassins..

[dry copper]

Sure, she's an asshole and you weren't compatable but holy shit.....mmmm borger

[tame cairn]

it had everything I wanted

[tame cairn]

My top 3 goes, AC3, AC2, then Unity

3 and 2 just had better stories

Unity was better at everything else

[dry copper]

My favorite AC game is Twisted Metal 2

Used to play that with friends and family

[austere lance]

Ezio trilogy is still peak for me, I had a good time with 4 and Origins and Odyssey tho

I tried Mirage but it was a buggy clunky mess

[inland oasis]

I stopped after odyssey

[austere lance]

Tbh I liked Odyssey, even tho it definitely wasn't an AC game 😆

Was surprisingly fun to stealth your way through. Same with Origins

[tame cairn]

Liked Mirage more than Valhalla and Odyssey

i dont have to trek anywhere

the city is actually built for parkour

REAL side ejects

and back ejects

[inland oasis]

Bayek of siwa was just a cool character. I also enjoyed the pyramid they did with the bosses, slowly revealing them

[tame cairn]

Origins yea

[inland oasis]

Oh yea wait…

[tame cairn]

Bayek is awesome

[inland oasis]

I didn’t play odyssey

Origins I stopped at

[tame cairn]

good

play immortals fenyx rising

thats what odyssey wanted to be

its just better because its not trying to be something its not

(an ac game)

and just goes full mythology

its a lot better that way i think

than having a random minotaur and cyclops in the world, having to fight them

[dry copper]

oh wow...watching a dude with vampire weapon...insane heal ability

Use ricochet in fo76 with a vampire weapon and every time your dmg is ricochet you get healed

The enemy is healing you

He's testing in an end game area with level 1 armor lol

serendipity+ricochet

[inland oasis]

Sounds busted lmao

[dry copper]

[mental rose]

Ngl, this is a bit overwhelming, yet surprisingly fun

Soo many tooltips...

[dry copper]

stellaris

[obtuse reef]

Wait until you get to the endgame crisis

But I wouldn’t worry about that for another 700 years or so

Odyssey went full Greek mythology, lol. You go to Hades, Elysium, and Atlantis and get to interact with multiple Greek gods and heroes 😆

[dry copper]

I hope Cyberpunk 2 features ciri

From the Witcher series.

Ciri is supposed to be some sort of time traveler, iirc

[austere lance]

She has a whole speech about visiting a world exactly like Cyberpunk's in The Witcher 3, lol

[dry copper]

Oh she doesn't time travel. She jumps worlds

[austere lance]

https://youtu.be/wQ6A3GvEVo0?si=Kei0q0TDWEBaC84r

She can travel between dimensions

[dry copper]

ngl, playing that character in TW3 is so OP

Teleporting all over the place

Fun as hell

Much funner than just witcher sword dancing

Her kicking the shit out of the Caranthir

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=168vIM5oB6o&t=44s

[austere lance]

I'll never understand why they added the tekeporting bullshit, lol. She never fought like that in the books, she was just a damn good swordswoman

The ice skating thing is a reference to what she did in the sixth book tho, lol

[dry copper]

they are divorcing themselves from the book

The book author is not happy about his books being used iirc

He didn't get enough $

lol

[austere lance]

They're literally continuing the story of the books. Witcher 1 takes place after the events of the last book, that's why Geralt has amnesia in it

Witcher 3 also explains some of what happened between the final book and first game

[tame cairn]

yeah thats my point

just play immortals fenyx rising

they obviously wanted to make a greek mythology game

thats immortals fenyx rising

all that stuff

took me so far out of Odyssey

i was just like "wtf is going on anymore.."

[austere lance]

Ironically Fenyx has less Greek stuff in it than Odyssey, lol

[tame cairn]

not at all

😭

its just not real life locations

there's more gods afaik
