i can't believe i just paid for the gold edition

im feeling so dirty

[winter yew]

I find switch ports get a bad name the overall package is often better than the PS4/Xbox one counterpart
(Obviously getting blown out of the water by PC)

I'm busy rn but just YouTube digital foundry alien isolation for a example

Please note I'm saying overall package not better resolution better fps ect

[restive tusk]

Indeed, cause they always need to make sacrifices. But you're playing on a tiny handheld, it's already impressive what it can do

[winter yew]

Hell yeah

[tranquil glen]

YEAAA

[coarse swift]

Did they show survivor 3?

I know Chef is number 2

[inland path]

holy crap

I'm doiung another Dark Souls 2 Scholars playthrough, haven't played it in years

I forgot how frustrating and terrible it was

it's so clunky and some bosses have really weird hitboxes

[tranquil glen]

nope chef only Cery

[coarse swift]

3rd survivor has to be Duke Nukem

There's no other option

[marble idol]

Apparently this is a thing.

Homie fired an RPG inside the car and it got lodged in my dash*

which JUSt got outdated at literal final boss

[pure zinc]

One time I got a legendary in the early game that was level 16, and some of its stats were better than max level gear

It was nuts

I think it was a radiation infused Gatling type gun

[tame cairn]

borderlands rng goes crazy

[broken prairie]

Me when BL2 and Unkempt Harold exists

[tame cairn]

[silver sparrow]

What’s the release date?

[restive tusk]

early 2025

[shadow tartan]

Can't be friends with you anymore after this statement

You're uninvited from my McDonald's birthday party too

[restive tusk]

he's making liver for tonight i believe

surely it can be forgiven

[shadow tartan]

Whose liver?

[silver sparrow]

Hrm

[shadow tartan]

If it's our enemy's, it will be forgiven

[restive tusk]

i really hope it turns out the monetization is tolerable

looking forward to it but the heavy focus on pvp so far has me concerned

[shadow tartan]

Mmmmmm PvP

It's a story about Jihads

Ofc there is PvP

It's one big Jihad

[restive tusk]

the heavy focus is my only concern.
if as they say the main and most interesting part of content is behind all the pvp weekly reset content i just dont know how its gonna play out

[shadow tartan]

Aion was like that

Miss a lot of the game if you don't PvP

But there is usually tiers

[restive tusk]

I didn't like Aion

Lineage 2 hit it perfectly

[shadow tartan]

So people will see the content

[shadow tartan]

Bruv I know

[restive tusk]

perfect balance tbh

[shadow tartan]

Tera was alright

It looked stunning and the combat was good

[restive tusk]

yesss

[shadow tartan]

I really enjoyed Aion

[restive tusk]

they being so cryptic with their explanations too

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1009531104660819998/1253672147835027466/DevBlog3.gif?ex=66c7202c&is=66c5ceac&hm=e4352fad598b4c71d912aee0c2d2e364a6e3eddc72a0959a95cb79823af02ded&=

[shadow tartan]

I PvP a lot in MMOs

[shadow tartan]

Is that just the places you need to control

Supply line kinda shit

That reminds me of Aion

[restive tusk]

ye major stuff.
Although he does go into more detail on the article
https://duneawakening.com/en/what-makes-dune-awakening-an-mmo

[shadow tartan]

If you had control of parts of space you would get a PvP debuff because of all the benefits you get from holding fortresses

[restive tusk]

the "deep desert" is what they say would be the most juicy part

[shadow tartan]

If I still played MMOs I would be all over that

[shadow tartan]

Juicy worms

Fremen camps

Caves

Hidden worm god

Fuck yeah the desert is the place

And don't forget the Jihad

[restive tusk]

biggest difference is that it seems they hinging on a non grindy mmo

as in, not needing to quit your job and play for 6 months just so you can catch up to the end game

[shadow tartan]

Pffff

Amateur

😄

[shadow tartan]

Even though I found it predatory for MTX, Diablo Immortal was good in that regard

The one redeeming factor

[restive tusk]

i mean there is potential.
just waiting for how the monitizing part will come in
Our plan is to allow private servers, at least for the Hagga Basin map, but we can’t promise this will be available for launch.

[shadow tartan]

Ornithopter $100 please

Ornithopter Armor $25

[restive tusk]

it's an mmo, i want the grind anyways, just not so much that the macro transactions become to appealing and too p2w, or pay to ccatch up

[shadow tartan]

People have been on notice for a while now, since a few of the extortionate cases I haven't seen much actual pisstake with MTX

Not as bad as it used to be with FIFA etc

Or Fortnite

[dry copper]

"I can smell you"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDQx-guzx2s

[restive tusk]

remember when FIFA was loosing track to PES ?

[shadow tartan]

People tried to hype the stuff on Dragons Dogma 2 which wasn't that bad because they just like to bitch

[restive tusk]

those were the times

[shadow tartan]

I went to Pro Evo and Winning Eleven and then back to FIFA for 13

[restive tusk]

i thought it only really bad part was that you had to pay just to make a new character.

But that was the rumour, i haven't had a chance to play yet

[shadow tartan]

People just started picking at everything for the sake of it though

Not actually playing the game or anything

[restive tusk]

lol tis how it is

[shadow tartan]

Sadge

Well for them not for us

[restive tusk]

but overall, i really wanna try it sooner or later

[shadow tartan]

Yeah I'm gonna play that and BG3 next year

After I sort some shit out

[restive tusk]

you still waiting on bg3

[shadow tartan]

Nah just not gonna play it

I know I get sucked in and I have a load to do

Buying a house, starting a new business

Might even get married

[restive tusk]

ye that game takes loooong

[shadow tartan]

It's a forever game

Like BG2

[silver sparrow]

👀

[restive tusk]

why would you make such a silly mistake

[shadow tartan]

Keep staring and you'll go blind

[shadow tartan]

Well I avoided it all this time for good reason

[silver sparrow]

⚪ ⚪

[shadow tartan]

More importantly I need to get BG3 for some people that deserve it

[restive tusk]

ngl i miss that time with the girl im mariied to, before i was married.
its still all good times, but man it was gewd

[shadow tartan]

I've been terrible with relationships most of my life

Well

I say that

[restive tusk]

thing is, it does take a while if you want to fully explore the game and all the possibilities they accounted for

[shadow tartan]

It's just being with the wrong person

[dry copper]

You mean the time before you knew that she absolutely does fart ?

[restive tusk]

i only considered myself done with bg3 after almost 800 hrs 😬

[shadow tartan]

Maybe that's how they met

[restive tusk]

and snore

like a lot

[dry copper]

Humans do be humaning

[shadow tartan]

I snore

And I sleep through almost anything so I can't criticise them

I've kept people up

[silver sparrow]

I got a cpap bro
Changed my life

[restive tusk]

i don't criticize, it just makes it hard to fall asleep if im second to bed

[dry copper]

I had this whole period of my life where I re-evaluated women entirely, in trying to understand my own failings as a partner...namely why I was such a sucker for some things. I think if guys don't get to go through that sort of self reflection, they inevitably end up blaming other people for their own faults and become shit incels

[shadow tartan]

I'm looking at that stuff but maybe I want people to suffer

[silver sparrow]

On brand lol

[shadow tartan]

Word bruv, I like doing that

Everyone should do that not just guys

[silver sparrow]

You’re the main one suffering btw
I speak from experience

[shadow tartan]

I've been preparing myself for this, my whole life has led up to this moment

[silver sparrow]

Listen to grandpa

[shadow tartan]

Nah I'm very lucky

[dry copper]

Speaking of re-evaluation...This may be going back into my play cycle

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLcyuMZqcG4

[restive tusk]

yea i installed it again when i saw

[shadow tartan]

Is that Carmen San Diego?

[restive tusk]

but me being me, ofc haven't even launched yet

[shadow tartan]

You're not gonna play it

[restive tusk]

you know it

[shadow tartan]

You're gonna leave it unfinished

[balmy plaza]

The mod I've been making for Starfield has completely broken and I have to remake it from scratch 😭

[shadow tartan]

And deserve less games

[restive tusk]

istg

[dry copper]

Because of starfield trucks?

[shadow tartan]

But now you can make it better than you did before

[dry copper]

I was kinda hoping for a starfield mech suit

[shadow tartan]

Will all 10 players get it when they log in

[restive tusk]

maybe soon. they did say they vehicles, plural, couple months back

Just me somehow deleting half the POI proecudual generation then saving it without noticing 😭

Did you play Ryse?

The roman game? yeah beat it iirc

[shadow tartan]

Combat looked similar when I saw this, wouldn't mind giving it a go

Ahh, it's a novel??

Dang it...

[shadow tartan]

That's good!

Can't just piss a bunch of money away on a whim to make a game about an IP that nobody has seen for decades

What the balls

If the novel does good then maybe we could see something good

If they make a shit Soul Reaver sequel I'll join the riot /s

[balmy plaza]

Quick question regarding Starfield: what natural points of interest would be a good thing to have in the game?

Especially if it's a specific geological/ ecological thing that exists irl

Looking for inspiration with the mod I'm making, thought now was a good time especially since I have to remake it from scratch lol

[somber void]

I think a POI of some cool natural generation would be stuff like oasis, a cave system or just something involving sea.

[mental rose]

How about an underground glowing forest? (From ARK Aberration)

[somber void]

Got the NMS subreddit is atrocious.

Constant Starfield bashing with every update.

Someone needs to remind them NMS had the same shitty launch like Starfield did when it was released.

Cool game, like Death Stranding without the nonsense.

And you play as a tiny tank.

death stranding but in a tank

Death stranding made easy

Death Stranding but no Strand

[winter yew]

Death stranding no death

I need to do more in general

I still have it downloaded but I still haven't finished

I can't bring myself to do all that

[fallen notch]

Death Stranding but it can be completed in an hour

[tame cairn]

lol

honestly though

that tank game looks kinda fun

[tranquil glen]

Ok thats just cause it itchio atm not story sim

It also doesnt have death eaters so

[winter yew]

I still can't understand how people found the story of DS so confusing, I found it easy to understand

[tranquil glen]

Do yall keep delivering stuff to the old man?

You should definitely deliver more

I'm guessing Gamescom happened recently which is why I keep seeing game reveals everywhere... I mean it's the only logical answer now that E3 is history.

What I don't get is why they are all teasers that show literally nothing...

Showing a game exists and is releasing pleases investors and starts the pre order process

Unity is so good looking snd big crowds it's a shame Arno is weird to use like his physics and shit

[frigid yarrow]

Yeah like, look at this lmao

[winter yew]

It's quite grand, I know it caused issues but adding in the animus glitch effect for pop in was a fine fix

[frigid yarrow]

One thing i would say tho, the night in this game is not as dark as it should be, but what do i know

I have a YouTube whwre I use to post ac3 vids, I stopped a long time ago tho lol

Name reveal ig lol

[tame cairn]

nice

[winter yew]

Unity gets too much credit for parkour down, all it did was streamline it, worked fine in 3

[frigid yarrow]

It would be higher for me if the setting was different, i'm not as much in the american independence thing

Reason why i enjoyed so much black flag and the Ezio ones XD

Felt more like home and i understood more the stuff but i liked the buildup of the revolution

[tame cairn]

it's good in AC3 when you know how to use it

AC just has always lacked good tutorials

[frigid yarrow]

Being able to start protests, that was cool

And i didn't expect the forest area to be so big, frontier is amazingly huge for an "intersection map"

[tame cairn]

The better side of the AC3 story isn't even the american revolution, it's the conflict Connor has with possibly trusting his Father and by extent the Templars, that I love more

[frigid yarrow]

That, yeah

[winter yew]

I liked the serious protagonist over the charming manwhore or the charming Frenchman or the charming twins

[frigid yarrow]

Thats a thing, his personal thing, but like, what drives me in AC is the setting, actually XD

But that same thing, the fact Haytham is a more...unique villain, makes him the perfect protagonist for a potential prequel to Rogue

[tame cairn]

its funny because in ac3, connor is an innocent kid and sees his mom die and becomes a Brute. but in ac2 ezio was just always charming even after seeing his family die (maybe not right after but yeah)

i liked revelations ezio the most

[frigid yarrow]

LMAO i just failed a mission so bad the game straight up crashed

I died while i was running away from some dudes, and instead of respawning, the game crashes

[orchid fox]

https://youtu.be/af3UZilO6PY?si=XXYwPiTttAbjHmTM appearantly this is real. and i hope to god its a defender archetype and not offender lol

Honestly yeah it's been some years more if you count its development as a dlc
It's getting ridiculous now lol

[raven cove]

Elite ❤️

[winter yew]

I'm disabling reddit notifications

[upper glade]

I remember when I thought this game was gonna be the one that won the space race. Whoops!

[raven cove]

As flawed as Elite may be, it does so many things right. It's a blast to explore and mess around with friends

[upper glade]

Eh, it's okay, but its flight model is its strongest draw. I wish the money they made off Elite's initial release that got reinvested into the other titles in their portfolio had come back to Elite though.

It coulda been a lot more than what it ended up being.

[raven cove]

The sense of scale is also one of its strongest draws. The way the giant planets get so tiny after you travel away in supercruise. The massive mountains and endless valleys. The way you slowly see the galaxy change as you travel thousands of light-years throughout it

Point in case

[upper glade]

DBX scout, yeah?

[raven cove]

Diamondback Explorer!

Normally when exploring, I'd use a larger ship for roleplay purposes. But I'm traveling along a well-traveled area 10,000 light-years from the galactic core (Colonia), so I didn't see the need

Despite what can be done on Unity, unless they have income from some other means than games using their engine - I don't think they are long for this world.

[winter yew]

Remember when unity was being dumb and cult of the lamb devs threatened to delete their game

[coarse swift]

Genshin's a huge cash cow and runs on Unity, same with Honkai Star Rail, so it'll probably be fine for now

For the sake of not having to change engines I imagine Hoyo will want them to stay afloat

They purchase whatever amount of licenses they need then that's it

[winter yew]

Ubisoft gives a W every few years with a sweet game
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ubisoft_games

My personal favorites are Mario Rabbids , prince of Persia(the lost crown specifically) , the PC port of morrowind they are credited with,beyond good and evil one , might and magic ,

After they have a successful title they furiously milk it you know assassins creed tom Clancy splinter cell ect but they still make quality games

I'd say on average they give a W once every 5 years with a cool unique title
And are milking franchises into the ground the remaining time

Also while I'm yapping Mario Rabbids is phenomenal

It's like arguing sometimes the school bully don't rob my lunch money
But it's true

[upper glade]

There used to be a joke going around when I worked on SWTOR, IDK if it still is (because most of the people that started there are gone now):

Why is Electronic Arts the most-hated game company in America?

Because Ubisoft is French.

[dry copper]

That joke makes no sense. EA literally started the whole trope of Games as a Service.

They are hated for setting up the entire industry for failure

[upper glade]

And yet still doesn't get as much hate for it as Ubisoft and their AAAA games.

[dry copper]

Sure they do.

[upper glade]

As much as people talk shit about 'em, they still buy Madden and FIFA. XD

[dry copper]

You do know that the people who buy sports games were playing games as a service decades before it was even a thing, right?

They bought into that metric long ago

Buying 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 of (insert sport)

[upper glade]

No one's arguing that.

[dry copper]

They are the demographic EA is building toward. Of course they aren't going to talk shit about them.

[upper glade]

wdym, they talk shit about 'em all the time. XD

[dry copper]

The change has no impact on them

[upper glade]

Have you not seen the reviews page on Steam for Madden 24?

And they still bought it.

No one's buying Skull and Bones.

[dry copper]

skull and bones is not going to have the same target demo as madden

The people that buy madden eat sports game shit for breakfast.

That's their jam

[upper glade]

Well, it's not like they can make a football title at the moment. No one else can. XD

[upper glade]

So, it has to be a lockstep comparison in order to be apt? Interesting.

IDK if I can meet those particularly strict metrics.

[tame cairn]

that's not a flex

lmao

[dry copper]

EA saw games as a service in the way people buy their sports games and have been building up to turn all games into a service model. They meet resistance and are hated because that model is vacuous garbage; that only sports fans, who can justify their investments in the annual updates for their sports games with sports metrics reflected by their favorite sports authorities, would tolerate

[upper glade]

Oh, they still buy on SWTOR too.

In fact, the cash shop's only thing keeping the lights on there anymore. @_@

It'll be very interesting to see how Outlaws turns out. That should be a fair comparison of work.

[tame cairn]

It looks neat

[dry copper]

Outlaws will probably do cosmetics

[tame cairn]

Visually I like it so far

but i dont know much else

[dry copper]

Cosmetics are the new in to buy customer favor

[upper glade]

I don't understand selling cosmetics on a single-player game. XD

Esp. on PC, we're just gonna mod it in.

[tame cairn]

It's just like a thing that'll be in their games forever sadly

[tranquil glen]

Have you seen bethesdas shop CC part of which is partial cosmetic

[tame cairn]

some people like it, thats why they make it

personally i don't and never buy single player cosmetics

[upper glade]

Ain't no point if I can't show it off.

[tame cairn]

it's just a way for devs to get more money is all

it's not required to buy

esp on pc

[tranquil glen]

Its how some f2p service mmos games stay up

[tame cairn]

well that's different

but yea

[upper glade]

Also how some of the survival titles are going.

[inland oasis]

Before ya know it we’ll be paying to load up the game each time 💀

[upper glade]

Ark's got a firecat that's the best cave mount in the game. $5.

[tame cairn]

huh

[tame cairn]

stuff like this has been in gaming forever

[tranquil glen]

Lmk LOL cause i dougbt that is gonna happen soon

[tame cairn]

i doubt that

its just cosmetics

dont buy it

lol

[tranquil glen]

If anything people will find ways to boot without payment If it become a thing

[inland oasis]

I wasn’t comparing it to cosmetics lol. It’s just a joke on how greedy they get

[upper glade]

This would finally be the year Linux stopped sucking for games.

[tranquil glen]

Does anyone else understand bought mobile games cause i dont i get in game micro but not store page buy game

[tame cairn]

its just dumb..gaming will never get to that point
and all we really have been talking about is cosmetics so mb i guess

[inland oasis]

THATS the joke

I know it ain’t that bad

[tame cairn]

guess im stupid

[dry copper]

Make the question non question make sense pls

[tame cairn]

what do you mean

just like any other game you guy off an app store

[tranquil glen]

Whys minecraft on mobile still $7 if it has microtrans yet other gsmes are free (and have ads/microtrans or paid)

[dry copper]

Yeah...Guy off an app store.

Minecraft is on mobile?

[upper glade]

Minecraft is a big deal. Royal Match is not.

[tame cairn]

Because it's a paid game and microtransactions in a game don't equal free

[upper glade]

They're selling the brand.

[tame cairn]

Minecraft will cost money forever

even with their minecoins

[inland oasis]

I feel like regardless of if a game is f2p or paid for, it can have microtransactions. Not only f2p games

[dry copper]

I bought minecraft not too long ago. I am not going to play it again until they consolidate their java and exe clients

[tame cairn]

yeah, because they do and always have

[tranquil glen]

I get why minecraft originally was paid but Microsoft didnt change that when they bought it and added the microtrans (im assuming its because of it being bedrock bs)

[tame cairn]

The "free game so it has microtransactions" and "not free so it doesn't" is actually a new thing
paid games have always had microtransactions

[tranquil glen]

Not many that i know of then

[tame cairn]

interesting

[inland oasis]

Not new to me. Most had dlc

But no mtx’s

Unless you count the dlc as an mtx

[tranquil glen]

I know all the ea games i played have microtrans tho LOL

[tame cairn]

ah yes the $3 dagger for oblivion

(microtransactions)

[dry copper]

The worst DLC ever....DLC that's literally content the developers ripped out of the game to sell ontop of the game.

[tame cairn]

dlc is an mtx just under a different name

sims is a good example

[dry copper]

Expansions

[inland oasis]

Depends if it’s an “expansion” dlc or just dlc

[tranquil glen]

Bvm i do know a slew of games thats all microtrans, literally Bo3+ ans the rest of Cod

Idk if bo1-2 had em

Was to young for those

[tame cairn]

this is true but games have always had both

thats the thing

maybe a dlc and then some stuff not needed at all

its still a microtransaction

[tame cairn]

BO3 started it

[tranquil glen]

Easy look at minecraft mobile paid skins for mine coins, microtrans.. paid maps with the same, dlc

[tranquil glen]

Figured but didnt know

[balmy plaza]

Mtx in started in paid games, if anything

Looking at horse armor specifically

And stuff like that

[tame cairn]

yea

not really a revelation i thought

[tranquil glen]

I really wish EA hadnt killed my favorite one of its IPs

[balmy plaza]

I can't decide if I should carry on making my starfield mod, or watch alien and have some wine tonight lol

[tame cairn]

u pay like $5 for mehrunes razor in oblivion

[tame cairn]

what mod you making?

[tame cairn]

which IP

[tranquil glen]

https://tenor.com/view/plants-vs-zombies-plants-vs-zombies-characters-gif-25699557

[balmy plaza]

Partially terraforming Mars and adding some new points of interest that fit with that

[pure zinc]

Guild palace :3
Idk which weapon to get next for it TwT

[tranquil glen]

best multiplayer game I had ever played almost a decade ago

[balmy plaza]

Stuff like algae lakes, fungal thingies, etc

[tame cairn]

Ooo nice!

[tame cairn]

ah

[pure zinc]

I wish one of my favorite ip’s wasn’t killed either

[tame cairn]

i never really liked the 3d PvZ games

EA is just

[inland oasis]

Bloons TD ftw

[tame cairn]

bad

[pure zinc]

Destiny

[tame cairn]

battlefront 🥲

[pure zinc]

True

[tranquil glen]

ya know whats funny tho after GardenW2, they produced a game that took badly by the fanbase, and then after release like kinda left it to die along with gw2

[pure zinc]

Not a huge star wars fan, but battlefront was really cool

At the time

[tranquil glen]

swbf2 is now I think the highest player base in all of the bf games rn

last i checked it was

[tame cairn]

understandable

I just wish EA actually cared about battlefront

[tranquil glen]

and thats 2018 one

[tame cairn]

how do you drop a game without the main character in it?

[winter yew]

Never was claimed it was a flex
Only claimed they have classic ws every do often which is true

[tame cairn]

Anakin wasn't even there on release

[tranquil glen]

lol

[pure zinc]

Star Wars has a main character?

[tame cairn]

Yes

The Chosen One

[pure zinc]

Huh

[inland oasis]

Imagine need for speed, but like no cars

[tame cairn]

the MC of the movies is Anakin Skywalker, eho becomes Darth Vader.

[tranquil glen]

tbf Swbf2 doesnt cover the first bit of time for ani, only the second bit as dorfvador

[tame cairn]

The Chosen One in SW is supposed to destroy the Sith or Join them

[pure zinc]

So then he’s the main character, and then he’s not?

[tranquil glen]

no he always is

[tame cairn]

it depends on how you look at SW

imo he always is

[pure zinc]

Ah

[tame cairn]

he joins the sith sure

but eventually with the help of luke

he destroys them by turning good and killing the emperor

ignoring episode 7,8, and 9

[pure zinc]

Yea, I’ve never been a star wars fan, never been a marvel or dc fan

Idk what else there is

But I’ve prolly never heard of them before

[tranquil glen]

he destroys both basically, then both re-emerge with an older Luke and Mr Burns age Emeror

[upper glade]

Star Wars is the average high fantasy story set in space.

It's alright for what it is, but it makes better games than movies.

[pure zinc]

Agreed

I don’t like fantasy movies that hold back what they could be

[tame cairn]

ehhh

[pure zinc]

Or fantasy ip’s

In general

Like

If you’re gonna have cool heat swords

And the force

[tame cairn]

star wars holds back?

[pure zinc]

Why not add cool gore too

[tranquil glen]

erm guys, its just skyrim in space..

[tame cairn]

oh, there was i. the early movies

[pure zinc]

I mean gore gore

[tame cairn]

then they gave it the excuse of "its hot so cauterizes"

which i like more

[tranquil glen]

ok tbf they are still decapitating heads

[pure zinc]

That’s boring imo

[tame cairn]

The Clone Wars goes so hard

[tranquil glen]

and what the fuck is with chewie not having gore when ripping arms off

[tame cairn]

LOL

legos

[tranquil glen]

I mean yea but i recall chewie did that in movie as well

on gas city

[inland oasis]

Star Wars but with kill bill blood spray 😂😂

[tame cairn]

I personally don't care to see blood, since that would kinda make no sense anyways unless it's Chewie doing his thing yea

yeah no thanks

lol

[pure zinc]

I’m more of a fan of like brutal brutal gore. Which is why I’m not a huge fan of movies too much, is because not a lot of movies can do it well, and the movies that end up having gore or blood, do it so minuscule, like why even do it at all?

Something like doom

[tame cairn]

yeah the problem is star wars is using laser swords

[pure zinc]

Or warhammer

[tranquil glen]

theres not even blood when luke kills the basement dweller for whats his face on tatooine

[pure zinc]

https://tenor.com/view/doom-doom-eternal-glory-kill-doom-glory-kill-doom-eternal-zombie-gif-18694440

[tame cairn]

there's more blood for a random guy in a bar then there is for chewie

[tame cairn]

yeah this in star wars just wouldnt fit at all

lol

[pure zinc]

I want a movie that’s just stupid gorey like doom

[pure zinc]

Turned him stupid

Loll

[tranquil glen]

ya know whatd be a good game, han Solo movie adapation

[tame cairn]

I think the amount it has is pretty good honestly

especially in the clone wars

sure bloods not spraying everywhere

but they aren't pulling punches

or stabs i guess

[pure zinc]

Cos it’s animated

[tame cairn]

peak disney

[pure zinc]

Peak Disney was mulan imo

[tame cairn]

https://youtu.be/knSzn0FvSNE?si=1CqCnnxfJ_5zTlfH

[pure zinc]

Especially when they collabed with McDonald’s

And made the sweet sweet nectar known as Szechuan sauce

[tranquil glen]

wat.

[inland oasis]

Holy shit I had one of the collectible mulan McDonald’s cups

[tame cairn]

count dooku choking some guy and making him shoot his friend then killing him

[tranquil glen]

ayo what

[tame cairn]

ah i love the clone wars, peak SW

you wont see that in the movies

[pure zinc]

This is literally the best sauce flavor they have ever made

And they refuse to bring it back

[tame cairn]

i never tried it

[pure zinc]

Unlucky

It’s Heaven

[inland oasis]

Shits rare

[pure zinc]

It’s literally the best sauce

[inland oasis]

Legendary rarity sauce

[pure zinc]

I’ve never had a better sauce in my life

[inland oasis]

I’m a sucker for McDonald’s sweet n sour

Especially theirs

[pure zinc]

Not a fan

Can’t do both flavor profiles at the same time

[tranquil glen]

aight time to frame the war

[upper glade]

I remember Warframe. Glad to see it's still going.

[pure zinc]

Amazing game

I wish I had more friends to play it with

And I wish baro would give me my stupid ass mulcibur armor

[tame cairn]

some guy: "who will strike first and brand themselves a cold blooded killer?"
anakin: stabby

[coarse swift]

https://youtu.be/KBgxQh5jEq4?si=rjAMapzL5zBrYRUZ

[tranquil glen]

someone a dad

ingame..

[tranquil glen]

ventress has a good redemption ark ngl

[tame cairn]

they would never show something like this in sw now

and yea

[tame cairn]

but tbf i havent watched the acolyte so idk

i just heard it was bad

[tranquil glen]

i heard both good and bad

[upper glade]

Yeah, I'm a little old XD

[mental rose]

I'm assuming that's Lucas Arts SW and NOT Disney? 😄

[tranquil glen]

that clip was yea

[tame cairn]

The Clone Wars is easily my favorite piece of star wars media

[tranquil glen]

agreed 2nd place is rebelz

[mental rose]

For real? I thought it was a meme when Rick and Morty made that reference. 😄 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xilkhMtZD20

[tame cairn]

they were referencing the real thing

[tame cairn]

rebels is p good

[tranquil glen]

i now have a literal physical meme great reference to patrick stor

[tame cairn]

personally im just tired of the rebels vs empire scenario

[tranquil glen]

ya know whats funny thats literally the same shit warframe pulled

[tame cairn]

the parts where it didn't have that everywhere i liked

[tranquil glen]

rebels vs sentient & orokin

[tame cairn]

like that scene with Kanan and the Temple Guards

such a cool scene

TG's get no love

https://tenor.com/view/temple-guard-star-wars-lightsaber-gif-16442312

[tranquil glen]

its oddly interesting to me that ahsoka wasnt tried to be arrested by them only arrested outside the temple by regular troopers

[tame cairn]

im telling you

it's because sometimes people forget they exist

they are never used

😔

https://tenor.com/view/jedi-temple-guard-jedi-gif-27692731

but they are so badass

[tranquil glen]

or the fact that her possible "crime" was also not under Jedi specific law bc it was in fact a troop place for the military mostly

[tame cairn]

true, i mean she wasn't exactly being hostile either iirc

https://tenor.com/view/temple-guard-star-wars-cease-hostilities-gif-26558222

[tranquil glen]

ok fuck you discord for just showing Ahsoka live action gifs i dont want that shit

https://tenor.com/view/lofi-ahsoka-ahsoka-tano-gif-24738038

[tame cairn]

whoa

thats a cool gif

i love ahsoka

especially clone wars ahsoka

https://tenor.com/view/ahsoka-anakin-ariana-greenblatt-ariana-live-action-gif-4405367495420055382

oh

it was supposed to be the bottom one

lmao..

[tranquil glen]

she looks weird as fuck in the top

[tame cairn]

yeah i dont like live action ahsoka

anakin still looks amazing tho

[upper glade]

Animation handles some things much better than LA.

[tranquil glen]

talking about LA, wanna move out there just to go see sony studio there

[tame cairn]

animation is just better

[tranquil glen]

https://tenor.com/view/ahsoka-tano-obi-wan-star-wars-the-clone-wars-gif-16243966

he was causing trouble even before you and anakin came to the temple Ahsoka

(which if yall didnt know, she came to temple first)

[pure zinc]

I just bought a shirt of the best game ever made

[tranquil glen]

fact

[pure zinc]

No contest

[tranquil glen]

https://tenor.com/view/2d-platformer-nplusplus-n-plus-plus-stickman-platform-game-physics-gif-11679771792890701773

N++

[tranquil glen]

[pure zinc]

360 arcade classic

Highly recommend checking it out

One of the best platformers of all time

Hardest too

holy shit

random ass person has been texting me since yesterday, and made my day today with patrick meme

#memes🤡 message

[barren sparrow]

Been playing cyberpunk, got to the heist and I'm getting bad feeling

If something happens to Jackie I'm going on a crusade

[winter yew]

Oh yeah

[mental rose]

Didn't think there were still fresh players coming to Cyberpunk 2077 in 2024

[tranquil glen]

so real so attached to bromie

[mental rose]

Biased opinion because of my main, but I can definitely recommend the Swaxe. 😁

[pure zinc]

Oh my god 😭

[mental rose]

Whoops, the 2nd pic had unwanted notification

One moment

There we go

[pure zinc]

Damn

Leon’s got some strength

[mental rose]

Yea. I ADORE the Resident Evil collab they did for MHW 😁

Wanna see something cursed? Can't believe I actually bought this skin.... 😄

[balmy plaza]

Star wars outlaws doesn't look bad at all ngl

It's a shame that it feels like it's kinda become a target for certain people

[tranquil glen]

https://tenor.com/view/harry-potter-hogwarts-legacy-sorcier-wizard-gif-22481923

just like hogwarts

[coarse swift]

Best handler skin tbh

[silver sparrow]

target for criticism?

[balmy plaza]

A strange amount of people are up in arms about the protagonist's appearance, and are brigading anyone who has anything positive to say about the game

[silver sparrow]

ffs

[balmy plaza]

It won't be perfect but the amount of horrible things I've seen said is kinda shocking

[upper glade]

"I don't like it or it makes me feel uncomfortable for reasons I can't explain, so it's woke."

[silver sparrow]

because the protagonist is female?

[upper glade]

And isn't completely dependent on some kinda chad.

[balmy plaza]

It's because she's a woman and because of her hair

[silver sparrow]

because it's short?

[tame cairn]

dont forget to mention ac shadows

[shadow tartan]

Ellen Ripoffley you mean

Far too close

It's like they're making a game for my generation....and we're on the way out

[mental rose]

You can't deny though, the AI shown was hilariously bad in the review vid.

It was either IGN or Gamespot... I forgot

[shadow tartan]

Meh that changes before release a lot of the time

[balmy plaza]

Makes me realise that if alien first came out today, they'd have some many people getting upset probably lol

[balmy plaza]

Oh yeah the ai doesn't look good. At the same time, I don't think that's what people are really looking for

[tame cairn]

AI?

[balmy plaza]

Yeah the npcs

[tranquil glen]

how many creed games yall got

[shadow tartan]

We live in an arguably more accepting and progressive world compared to the 70s and 80s though

I do remember the misogyny back then and it's a shadow in comparison these days

[coarse swift]

The only stigma I can really think to have about Outlaws is that it's another Ubisoft game

I'm not expecting much

[shadow tartan]

That's where I thought most of the dislike would come from

Or stems from

[tame cairn]

im sorry what?

[tame cairn]

i don't own any except for 3 at this point

but i've played and beaten all of them

[tame cairn]

that cloud gaming

[winter yew]

This is half a meme half gaming news so sorry mods if wrong chat lol

[winter yew]

I'm surprised to see positive cloud gaming news

Ive never had a issue with cloud gaming
Read the TOS on anything besides GOG you don't own the game

[tame cairn]

cloud gaming is interesting

its wild that i can just run games off straight internet connection, when for so long now they've needed to be downloaded

i really don't understand it much but its neat

[balmy plaza]

Their ai is bad

[tame cairn]

ah

[winter yew]

I own a switch specifically because I like physical games so I'll say cloud gaming sucks as much as digital does aha

[tranquil glen]

i own all but 2 and have played 5 of em? 6? ish

[balmy plaza]

Oh I'm not disagreeing at all. I just think that the same people who love that movie but shit on stuff like outlaws would hate alien if it released today

[tame cairn]

which havent you played

[winter yew]

I love how the alien franchise gets talked about every other day here
It's my favorite lol

Isolation goated

[tranquil glen]

anything past and including revelations (aside from syndicate, and unity with a spoonful of ac3)

[balmy plaza]

The only thing I'm not too keen on with the later alien films is that they made the space jockey way less alien

[tranquil glen]

sorry if that pinged ya as well lol not used to replying to an active chatter in that way

[shadow tartan]

Ripley's Xenovision

I watched Resurrection again

I must hate myself

[thorny python]

https://tenor.com/view/will-smith-men-in-black-gif-4907321

[tame cairn]

so you haven't played 1, 2 and Brotherhood?

[winter yew]

That one where the AI pretended to be another AI wasn't terrible

[tranquil glen]

anything after* and including revelations, sorry if that confused you working on a 100% of brotherhood after doing 100% to AC 1&2

[shadow tartan]

Fassbender pretends to be Fassbender

[balmy plaza]

I think that's the only one I haven't seen, aside from romulus

[tame cairn]

ahh okay

[balmy plaza]

What I've seen of resurrection seems to have interesting ideas but isn't done all too well

[shadow tartan]

People started saying it's better when you go back and watch it now, I think there smoking crack

I've watched it loads

[tranquil glen]

I own everything including up to valhalla max edition (idk actual edition name the most expensiv), but i dont own mirage or shadows

[tame cairn]

AC3, AC Revelations and AC Unity are my top 3 honestly

2 is an honorable mention

right after those tbh

[balmy plaza]

I'm not really keen on valhalla ngl

[tranquil glen]

i like brotherhood more than revelations ngl aside from the tech

[upper glade]

Wait, whoa, Black Flag?!

[balmy plaza]

I really enjoyed odyssey though

[tame cairn]

Valhalla is way too big and empty

[upper glade]

Black Flag was probably the best, I thought.

[tranquil glen]

i kinda dont like the tech lock behind story stuffs in the older ones

[tame cairn]

I hate using a tesla horse to go everywhere

[balmy plaza]

Did you find the audio in the game all weird or was that just me

[tame cairn]

just click one button and dont touch the controller

[balmy plaza]

Everything sounded super compressed and weirdly mixed

[tame cairn]

wdym? like having to get all the upgrades?

[tranquil glen]

yea

or like unlocking new ways to climb higher or expand map or get X tech

[winter yew]

Black flag good if you don't mind all the downgrades less animations, less reactivity from nature, buildings & what little crowds their are

[tame cairn]

Honestly it's been so long I have no idea anymore but probably

Black Flag is good but so overrated to me

[upper glade]

I think it earned its rating, personally.

[tame cairn]

I genuinely hate the ships

[balmy plaza]

Black flag is the only one aside from valhalla that I've played and really don't like

[tame cairn]

I didn't like them in AC3, then they made a whole game about that.

[balmy plaza]

The setting just doesn't do it for me

[tame cairn]

It was ugh

[tranquil glen]

only ships i found fun were those in acLondon because u dont drive em lol just sneak around on em

(syndicate)

Ive also never played a real ship ac game tho

[balmy plaza]

The trains were super fun

[winter yew]

It downgrades in every way (no exaggeration) from ac3 even the ships are less "realistic " more cartoony

[tame cairn]

AC4 is the only real one

[balmy plaza]

Syndicate might be the most underrated in the franchise imo

[tame cairn]

Since you use it for the entire game

[tame cairn]

If only the world design was better

[tranquil glen]

ac3-4 is probably the most overrated in the franchise

[winter yew]

I liked rogue abit the Canadian setting was cool

[tame cairn]

AC3 gets no love

[tranquil glen]

ive seen alot otherwise

[tame cairn]

everyone loves ac4 and ac2

[balmy plaza]

I mainly just remember how damn long it took to actually get the robes and the hidden blade lol

[tranquil glen]

brotherhood over 2 anyday due to companions and city lock

[tame cairn]

Most people didn't like that Connor was a brute

[tranquil glen]

me when Frank Frye^

[tame cairn]

instead of charismatic like ezio

[tranquil glen]

Ezio aint always charismatic tho

both to his enemies and his gf's husband

[tame cairn]

That's one of his descriptions in anything ever, he's a charismatic person

[balmy plaza]

Bayek was really good

I really hated the XP though

[tranquil glen]

i mean yea fair barb but still

[tame cairn]

agreed

Origins is the best out of the new ones

but the XP is the eorst part

[tranquil glen]

ngl altair was also a brute technically a blind one but still a brute

[tame cairn]

if you follow the story you will be underleveled

[tame cairn]

yeah, its just that everyone loved ezio at the time and he had 3 games

[tranquil glen]

Me planning one 100% the franchise aside from 2d platformers

[tranquil glen]

and a family who he was protecting and helping him

no other assassins really had that aside from the Fryes

and Arno

[tame cairn]

connor

I feel like odyssey is the best all round experience of the new ones, the XP doesn't feel so bad since there's so much to do

[tranquil glen]

I thought connor was runaway>?

[balmy plaza]

But the story goes off the deep end so hard lmao

[tame cairn]

The Homestead missions are the best part of Connor's story

it really shows his person

[tranquil glen]

[tranquil glen]

[tame cairn]

AC3 also is my favorite parkour system

https://youtu.be/x2oTLcgFa44?si=-DRrw_J6cSDXhTsn

this guy is quite literally the best at AC3 parkour

[upper glade]

I've seen this guy's stuff, it's excellent XD

First Quake 2, now Doom 2.

It's crazy.

[coarse swift]

This will be a good use of my 4070

[echo hill]

guys deadlock is so damn fun

[sleek cloud]

that's the new Valve game?

[coarse swift]

https://vxtwitter.com/i/status/1826958714454016340

ITS FINALLY BACK

Somewhat

[shadow tartan]

So worth it

[mental rose]

Damn... 28k people playing MHW vs 9k playing MHR

On Steam

But it's fun responding to SOS.
I'd forgotten how warm and fuzzy it makes me feel, helping players. 😌

Even if I am rusty af

[coarse swift]

Except for that one time i joined a mission on LR as MR
It was the very first mission against a Great Jagras

It died in seconds because of me

I felt so bad giving the new guy a false impression of monster difficulty

[mental rose]

I've had that happen to me too...
I responded to a HR SOS with MR gear and few times the host disconnected on me. 😅

[coarse swift]

It was funny but sad

The host in this case wasn't even at the monster yet

I knew exactly where it would be and shotgunned it to death just as the host got there

Good ole Zinogre hbg

[mental rose]

Which I think was the meta HBG for piercing builds iirc.

[coarse swift]

Zinogre was the dedicated shotgun one

Piercing was something else, can't remember which

But that was before Safi weapons were a thing

[winter yew]

I'm Waiting for the monster hunter wilds switch port
Investors were reportedly pissed

[mental rose]

I need to check that now. One sec while I boot the game again.

[austere lance]

Could be worse, lol

[coarse swift]

Crimson Kadachi, that was the pierce meta pre-Safi

Rajang/Zorah for sticky/cluster, Zinogre for spread, C Kadachi for pierce

[coarse swift]

To think this is getting an episode in Secret Level

[austere lance]

Sony probably paid a lot for it, LMFAOOOOOOO

[winter yew]

Concords not too bad but like you can just play Overwatch

[austere lance]

Marvel Rivals>

[mental rose]

Hmh... sure it's not Stygian Zinogre?
Because that's the one non-Safi HBG that I own that matches that playstyle. 😄

[winter yew]

What's marvel rivals is it like the ultimate Alliance games?

[mental rose]

My actual loadouts use Safi-HBGs, soo....

Lemme dig a bit more....

Oh, wait. Nevermind

There it is.

So Ceryncross was correct

[mental rose]

It's finally out and less than 1k?
OOF. 😄

[austere lance]

Overwatch clone with Marvel characters, but the gameplay actually has some effort put into it (unlike OW, lol)
Rivals has combat interactions between characters, like having a Venom on the same team as any Spider-Man variants will give them symbiote melee attacks along with their regular abilities. Or Rocket Racoon being able to deploy a device that boosts the shit out of Punisher's guns

[tame cairn]

Done with Leyndell and it's sewers

The Mountaintops of the giants + Fire Giant

Done most of the Snowfield

Just have Farum Azula to do and the Haligtree really

and Malenia..

im dreading that fight

lol

Everyone Else I Know: "I'm worried about what AI can do"
Me: "They're trained on shitposts, we're fine"

[dry copper]

10 years later
"Why is this AI Car trying to kill me?"
"Sorry. It's shitposting"

The problem with training on erroneous data is that there's nobody fixing it.

It's "learning" bad information faster than it can be corrected.

This builds a foundationally broken system

Dune Awakening's forced PVP has pretty much guaranteed I won't be playing it.

[silver sparrow]

Seriously?

Forced pvp

No DMZ

Lame

[dry copper]

There are entire regions where it's all PVP. They say you can level without ever doing PVP but I just watched gameplay footage where world events seem to only happen in PVP areas

World events with premium loot

[shadow tartan]

That was the same as WoW kinda though
