Had it launched with Rise of the Hutt Cartel as base, it would have been a lot more well-received.

Yeah, I ain't gonna talk about the economics.

For the longest time it was pure gamba.

[shadow tartan]

My whole WoW clan was ready to move on to it

[coarse swift]

I dropped off when it went f2p

[upper glade]

F2P probably saved it.

It was a ghost town otherwise.

[dry copper]

I played SWTOR for a little bit and people kept giving me money just to get rid of it so they could get more or some shit and my bank got full because I'm a poor freebie user

[shadow tartan]

Concord should have been F2P

[coarse swift]

Battleborn shouldve been f2p

[shadow tartan]

But, people shouldn't be stupid and pay for it full price

[shadow tartan]

Yo don't get me started

[upper glade]

Nah, go ahead and get started, this should be fun XD

[shadow tartan]

Nah it's just that I get invited to release parties for shit like that and I go and I want to be positive for the team and people of my ilk

[austere lance]

How did Gigantic manage to come back but not Battleborn

[shadow tartan]

And there are so many things like Battleborn, Evolve, Foamstars etc

[coarse swift]

Just another Randy Bitchford loss
All he could've done to save it was make it f2p but he kept it at full price until shutdown

[mental rose]

It's admirable for a dev to say "you buy once, and everything that comes after is free"
But who really trusts them these days?

[upper glade]

That's a hard promise to keep.

[shadow tartan]

I don't know what the expectation is when they try to pump things into an oversaturated market

[upper glade]

And it cuts the devs' throats to make it. It's desperation.

[coarse swift]

Imagine if some guy made a space exploration and did exactly that for like 8 years

[pure zinc]

People are stupid

[upper glade]

Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

That's be crazy.

[pure zinc]

They think micro transactions and $70 games (in the same package btw) is the way to go

[shadow tartan]

This is why I like cutting budgets and team sizes

[pure zinc]

Reality is, it’s not. Expression shouldn’t be paywalled

[dry copper]

I imagine concord as a two tiered game with single player DLC content that costs money with a compelling short story that introduces you to a mechanic or character you can use in the free version that looks super cool but isn't p2w for it's servicable arena fights....then they can structure future DLC around the way they want to perceive how the battle is going overall with narrative story arcs and character changes that players only get to experience and show off in the PVP portion of the game if they buy the DLC single player chapters that reveal them

[upper glade]

I looked at SW Outlaws and I was like "really, $130 and I don't even get a figurine?"

[coarse swift]

Don't forget the season pass and battle pass

[pure zinc]

Hate that shit

On some real

[upper glade]

What about lootcrates?

[shadow tartan]

And why do people treat games like they're not a luxury item or a pastime?
It's a fucking hobby

[mental rose]

Meanwhile AC Shadows Collector's edition is... how much?

Lemme google

[shadow tartan]

I work on shit and even I'm not under any pretenses

[pure zinc]

They were better than bp’s tbh, because most you could earn 💀

[inland oasis]

No I NEED IT 💀😂

[mental rose]

300€??

[shadow tartan]

Yeah but you're a crackhead bro

[upper glade]

WHOOOOOOA now that's a collector's edition.

Yeah, I'd buy that.

If I were into AC anyway.

[coarse swift]

You could either have 3 copies of Outlaw Collectors, or 1 League of Legends skin for the same price

[upper glade]

I SO wanted the Armored Core 6 box.

[winter yew]

Valhalla also got Ubisoft it's first 1.1 billion or whatever too

[upper glade]

And it ain't even Faker's real skin since he never uses one XD

[pure zinc]

I wanna get armored core 6 pretty bad

It looks super cool

[upper glade]

It's worth it. It's a VERY good game.

[pure zinc]

And you don’t have to spend $5 for the color red

So it’s already super epic

Know that it's still a Fromsoft game. It is not easy

[dry copper]

They never abandoned it.

[mental rose]

Would you believe me if I said the first boss... First. Boss, almost made me refund it?

[pure zinc]

Armored dark souls core?

[coarse swift]

Yea basically

[restive tusk]

they did at a point... and then moved it to Epic store only

[pure zinc]

Oh no

Is there pvp?

[coarse swift]

Yes

[shadow tartan]

It's proper easy, couple of S Ranks were hard but I still got into that top 1% to Platinum

[dry copper]

I can see it right now on steam

[pure zinc]

How is that formatted?

[dry copper]

I've had the game on steam since beta

[shadow tartan]

It's just like 3v3

You don't need to play PvP for anything

[pure zinc]

That sounds sick as fuck ngl

[coarse swift]

Duels and 3v3 I think

[shadow tartan]

It's pretty fun, was really unbalanced at the start

Coral weapons were too OP

[restive tusk]

i understand, i got it back then, but there was a point it was just abandoned.
They removed all communication and did a release on Epic, all stealth. The game never left Steam btwe

[pure zinc]

I’ve never played an armored core game, so idk anything

[shadow tartan]

Probably a good one to try tbh

[dry copper]

I think there was a period during covid that they went completely dark

[upper glade]

Oh I would absolutely believe that. Filtercopter had me questioning if I was even still a gamer.

[shadow tartan]

It's fun and you don't really need any prior AC experience

[coarse swift]

I'd love to play AC6 but just can't afford it atm
Also AC4 was my only AC experience so I'm unsure if I'll even like it

[upper glade]

Honestly, it played very close to the speed of AC4.

[pure zinc]

That sounds perfect

[dry copper]

Osiris New Dawn is a gem, imo

[coarse swift]

Not AC4, AC5 actually

[upper glade]

IDK about 5

[upper glade]

There is a man legitimately sword-fighting a bug on the moon. This is awesome.

[coarse swift]

I just remember immediately not liking AC5

[austere lance]

It's a fast paced unforgiving mech shooter with lots of guns and parts to unlock, and insane boss fights in true FromSoft fashion. It's arguably easier than Souls games tho because you can fully change everything about your mech to adapt to different fights

[upper glade]

All I've ever seen of 5 are phonk walk memes.

[shadow tartan]

Become Spider

[mental rose]

It's definitely very forgiving

[shadow tartan]

Oh shit. Today is Humble tuesday

[shadow tartan]

They released the first one on Antstream

[restive tusk]

@dry copper Actually it does seem to have left steam at that time (Osiris)

[shadow tartan]

I still play it on GBA

[pure zinc]

Can’t wait for tomorrow

[coarse swift]

I should play Metal Slug with my friend

Has anyone tried Star Trucker yet, lol?

[restive tusk]

See? Fighting a bug with a sword in space!

Now this is weird. They're offering people alpha testing access to Rue Valley on humble this month.

Curious to see how this goes

The one thing that's kept me from continuing Astroneer anymore was just a lack of content

[shadow tartan]

Or get a PC and mod it

[coarse swift]

The endgame stemmed down to finish the story and setup a nanocarbon farm. Just fill up the containers

Felt a bit soulless, even coming from me

I'm soulless and love factory games

What bothered me the most is they were developing more cosmetics for the mtx store than they were actual content

Guess I now know the content was being saved for the expansion

Oh I'm remembering another game that could've done way better

Temtem

So much potential with that but screwed over by the dev's ego

Surprised the servers are staying online but at least they removed the mtx stuff

[restive tusk]

PSA if you playing Star Trucker and get some weird frame skipping, switch off your G-sync (maybe freesync too).
Game doesn't seem to handle it 😁

[shadow tartan]

https://youtu.be/rXOzV1o0uhM

[coarse swift]

I don't wanna know what Milhouse was actually drinking

[shadow tartan]

Rats are fine in The Simpsons

[dry copper]

If your frames are skipping when you turn off freesync, that would suggest the game has elements directly tied to frame rates...I use freesync, but my monitor is upto 145hz

[mental rose]

Now this is the kind of propaganda I can get behind. https://www.reddit.com/r/Stellaris/comments/cqw228/my_first_take_on_stellaris_propaganda_this_time/

[dry copper]

In the case of frame rate dependant game mechanics...eww....Risk of Rain 2 DLC all over again

[restive tusk]

the other way.

I had to switch off G-sync.
I got a 144hz

[dry copper]

Ah

[restive tusk]

Man i thought the game would feel arcadey on flight controls... nahhhh is very simulator like 😅

takes a bit to get used, already bumped my truck a bit

[mental rose]

So it's Euro Truck Sim, in space. 😏

[coarse swift]

Another bug I've noticed is when items get locked down during a teleport event, any locked Lemurian eggs keep getting the lock effect applied, resulting in expanding bloom
Keep it like that for a while and it'll get blinding with frame dips

[restive tusk]

I guess you can almost say that.
But it's not wanting to be realistic sim, more light casual

[dry copper]

oh wow the mechanics of Rue Valley are awesome

[restive tusk]

you played? steam says not available yet

[dry copper]

It's in alpha

Humble Bundle has access to it

On Epic Game Store

[restive tusk]

ah good to know

[dry copper]

I just grabbed the bundle for Coral Island

I have all the other games and am not interested in alpha testing rue

[obtuse reef]

That Concord game is apparently getting delisted and people will get refunded

[dry copper]

Yep

They'll prob relaunch with a better head on their shoulders later.

Easier to relaunch in good faith through refunds, first

That way people don't feel ripped off.

[obtuse reef]

I think it was a stupid decision to launch a game like that with that price

[coarse swift]

This will be a bad decision if they do tbh

Now competing with Deadlock and Marvel Rivals

Better off cutting the losses and moving on

[dry copper]

Depends on what they do to change the game

[restive tusk]

what a waste of time budget and devs efforts.. this and deadlock

[inner copper]

If you’re only doing it for the recognition then you’re doing it wrong.

I couldn’t give a fuck at all either if people see my name somewhere. Look hard enough and you’ll find it out there.

But I don’t really like discussing what I do cause… it sounds crass in a way. lol

[shadow tartan]

You know I don't give a fuck about any of that

[austere lance]

Star Trucker is very cool, way more of a sim than I was expecting

[restive tusk]

Indeed

i was really just expecting arcadey controls and goofiness

there's some deep mechanics to truck mechanics as well

[inner copper]

I know dude, I know all too well.

[austere lance]

Idk why but it makes me want to play Hardspace: Shipbreaker again, lol

[restive tusk]

I don't like the fact i can't rebind controls natively in-game.
I'm sure theyll have some update sooner or later

I don't like the manchurian candidate.

[winter yew]

Ive been waiting for it to go on atleast a 60
Maybe after the dlc if they don't see a good rise in players

[restive tusk]

it's already another turn off for me that it's going to be a paid DLC

what they should be doing is learning from hello games and really fixing up some core problems to bring players back... for free

[restive tusk]

I doubt it will hit 60% off after DLc.
you might need to wait another year or so

I only got base edition of the game. which means i wont be playing shattered space

[dry copper]

What kind of DLC could justify installing that bloatware?

[restive tusk]

for me, none until the game's core issues are fixed

[dry copper]

"Play the game again and you get to experience it again but this time there's extra exposition"

90% of the game is just exposition and fetch quests.

[restive tusk]

but no need to be so harsh. overall it's a decent game, just not worth it's price tag or the budget that went into it

plus not worth how much further down the mud it dragged bethesda's already shaky rep at this point

I'm not sure how to put it. I've been following this for years now off and on, and now that I'm trying the demo it just feels like ehh???

[restive tusk]

it actually says pre-alpha demo 😄

[dry copper]

So even worse

A pre-alpha of an early access

[restive tusk]

yea.
It looks okay on the videos

i can see some inspiration from NMS

[raven frost]

a pre-alpha of the beta of the early access

[restive tusk]

lol

[raven frost]

is there any other buzzword I'm leaving out

[dry copper]

Wasn't worlds of the future in development hell?

[raven frost]

IIRC yes

It went silent for a VERY long time

I kinda forgot about it until steam blurted at me that it had a demo out

and, frankly, I just don't like it???

[restive tusk]

btw NMS is still 60% off for another 2 weeks on Steam...
Crazy
time to recommend your friends before it goes back to the usual sale cycle

[dry copper]

Well....In the words of Steam's algorithm...

"We see you didn't like Worlds of the Future. Perhaps this will be more to your liking....

(Harry Potter Quiddich Championship)

HG usually does these discount cycles before a major update

Didn't they just do a major update?

[raven frost]

I mean steam is doing a space exploration sale

https://store.steampowered.com/category/space_exploration

it's only fitting

[restive tusk]

that's the thing this Sale was off the pattern because it was 60% instead of 50, and it's been lasting a couple months

plus we're about to get another update this week

[tranquil glen]

voidling heehoo

[restive tusk]

Also, after Worlds release the game got so close to hitting that 80% Very positive mark

[winter yew]

Outer worlds is worth the buy
Classic obsidian writing

[raven frost]

tbh? I'm happy that we're getting 60% off sales lately. I can wholeheartedly recommend NMS for $24

[dry copper]

I wonder why terminator resistance is on sale for 75% off

[raven frost]

$30 was a bit of a stretch, and $60... nah.

[winter yew]

People just come out of the woodwork to give it negative reviews every update super annoying

[raven frost]

sorry I love NMS, but it's not worth $60.

[dry copper]

I got my fun/hour rate long ago

[restive tusk]

there's very few games for me that are worth the 60 dollar mark.
NMS kinda fits the box tbh

[dry copper]

I'm well over 1k hours in the game

[winter yew]

Why not?

This is the only pic I had saved of all the dlcs lmao

NMS has been worth 60 all day since the echoes update
I'm sure others would argue sooner

[raven frost]

Just doesn't feel like it's worth $60 to me

[winter yew]

8 years of free dlc , going on 9 and it's not worth 60? I guess I just don't understand where you'll get better value

[raven frost]

idk chief, just can't recommend it at $60

[winter yew]

Are you able to give actual reasons/arguments as to why not over just don't feel like it's worth 60?

[raven frost]

I could but honestly don't feel like it atm

[winter yew]

No worries I would be interested in hearing your reasoning
Tag me when you do

[restive tusk]

i actually can't subscribe to the line of reasoning that 8 years of free updates make it worth the value.

From an end user - gamer - perspective, what really is going to matter is the value they get when they buy the game today

From an industry perspective, yea NMS and it's 8 years of free service are priced way too cheap

[winter yew]

Even from someone just buying the game today you're buying into 8 years of free content with some overlap on what content is changed in each update

[dry copper]

Lets not get lost in the weeds of what is essentially a demo for HG's engine tech

[restive tusk]

my point is, the years of free content matter zero.
You buy the game, what is the game you're getting? that's what matters to a customer buying the game today

[dry copper]

Much of the content being described is designed around the tech demo, which scales its impression up vastly

[restive tusk]

that almost sounds like that guy who argued HG never really wants to develop a game, this is just an elaborate showcase of their engine that they want to sell to other companies..
Meanwhile the secret sauce and engine is still hush hush to this day

That's some pretty long ROI they planned for this project 😂

[dry copper]

Oh they def want to sell their game.

but the game is still a platform to showcase their technology which is justified.

The engine is completely unheard of.

[restive tusk]

idk man Sean seems pretty passionate about the game

[dry copper]

The technology is like introducing an alcubierre drive to a a combustion engine. It's completely alien.

From what I've seen Sean is excited about everything...chief among them, how people respond to the technology of the engine over the story or concepts of the game.

[restive tusk]

I'm really curious on how it will be applied to Light no fire

[winter yew]

Even buying in today without knowledge of past 8 years I'd argue worth it since echoes

[dry copper]

I think Light No Fire is going to be the first game to get the polished version fully realized

[restive tusk]

no doubt. that was never a point i argued 🍻

[dry copper]

IIRC they even commented in the last water update in NMS that it was pulled out of the development of LNF

That they were building new technologies even while they were making the game and re-integrating those into NMS as possible

[winter yew]

I suspect the upcoming updates is worlds part 2 more lnf stuff but they did remove summer from the update note

[restive tusk]

Yes this has been obvious for a while.

A lot of things that were added in the past couple years to NMS, were definitely things that were mainly being developed for LnF

People even argue that the addition of prime planets was a way to test how to introduce new variance to the proc gen algorythm without completely wiping and changing previous things

and that the method was developed for LnF

[winter yew]

I wouldn't be surprised if all lnf tech was in NMS

[restive tusk]

the water in LnF somehow looks slightly better than what we got on worlds. But that was just a staged trailer. i doubt it was live rendering

[winter yew]

Sean has always had magic trailers

I hope buddy comes back with his reasonings

wont stop doves

they will still make a stupid nest

[thorny python]

Fort Morning Dove.

[restive tusk]

i saw a pic in meme format where crows literally managed to break spikes and use it as nest material

At least i think it was crows iirc

[coarse swift]

of course it'd be crows

[restive tusk]

Corvids are just superior

soooooo guess who wasted like 6h or bnetterment of an entire night just to get swordsman unlock in wukong Xd

it was either me brute forcing it or him immediatly instagibbing me frame one theres no inbetween

Why does he want the black hole sun to come

Seems kinda scary ngl

That damn tiger

He's a good character

Probably sounds like @sleek cloud

[orchid fox]

I didnt complain ?_?

[shadow tartan]

The tiger complains

He gets all grumpy

My stuff didn't work and the monkey beat me

[orchid fox]

he does that, but hes unironically a bigger threat than any of the chapter endbosses so far if he warrants me fighting him for 5hours straight and refuse to yield to last 5% (dou somehow he bugged for friend and just gave up at 50% ?_?)

[shadow tartan]

Did you use the needle against him?

Needle is clutch

The one you use against Hundred-Eyed Daoist

He was a little annoying in his last phase

That took a few tries

[trail beacon]

What do y’all think bout star truckers

I personally love it

[restive tusk]

dreading all the clauses on my contracts

[dry copper]

3.3 and 3.3(a) contradict. That contract is unenforceable.

It would be thrown out for this ambiguity

If you give notice (which is not defined in the contract) and then quit, there is no way the company can claim you quit early per the contract and yet that provision remains.

That is a legalese loophole designed to allow a company to sue everyone who quits.

[restive tusk]

I think i can terminate the contract after accepting but before departing the terminal.
Termination after that means i pay the fee

Ishould call my lawyer tho

Of course it's from WB. 😄

it doesn't even look like minecraft apart from the fact there's no curves

its like minecraft with a bad texture pack that makes all the mobs look real

Holy actual cow. Haven't seen anyone make custom-painted GPUs as marketing stunt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Sg2f_tQApg

Oh... it's just promotional stuff. Can't even buy any of this.

It's the movie equivalent of that gross thing from the end of alien 4

In the sense that it's an abomination which shouldn't exist

Only spent 100 bucks to pull Jane Doe and her w engine today 💀

[obtuse reef]

The reviews seem pretty positive

Although, chances are some reviewers gave lower (or higher) scores for dumb reasons

[raw compass]

https://youtu.be/uQhqGdtd1oA

[mental rose]

I'm just waiting for some journalists to give it a low(er) score for "not being inclusive" or some shit. 😄

Yet they are awfully quiet about it...

[obtuse reef]

Funny thing, someone once criticized WH:40K for being racist. They thought it was an allegory for racism, with humans being the “good guys” and the aliens always being “bad”.

The thing is, there isn’t a “good” side to 40k

Even funnier, the aliens in question that they were feeling sympathy for, were Tyranids.

They felt bad for the unending, galaxy devouring swarm of mindless drones

Oh yeah, and if you couldn’t guess, this was on Twitter

[austere lance]

The entire point of the Imperium of Man is "All aliens must assimilate or die", lol

[obtuse reef]

Even then, aliens are usually barely tolerated

[austere lance]

Yee

[obtuse reef]

Hell, the Tau, the closest thing to the good guys, got freaked out and started killing humans when some warp fuckery happened

The whole point of 40k is that everyone and everything sucks

[idle saffron]

I'm gonna be a Blood Angel

[silver sparrow]

you do that

[idle saffron]

Ok

[obtuse reef]

Being a dreadnought sounds pretty fun for about 5% of the time and absolute hell the other 95% of the time

[coarse swift]

Why
Do you like not having a Primarch or something

Do you like going insane outta nowhere for no reason because he's dead

[obtuse reef]

So, like, most chapters?

[idle saffron]

Yes, exactly

[coarse swift]

White Scar supremacy

[obtuse reef]

I prefer Salamanders for two reasons, 1. They are not assholes 2. I like fire

[coarse swift]

Salamanders are nice people

With a missing Primarch

[orchid fox]

ha no

i did this mid chapter 3 moment i got village

[obtuse reef]

What is it with you and hating on missing primarchs?

[orchid fox]

for 4-5h straight

[coarse swift]

I'm just talking shit to talk shit

[obtuse reef]

No primarch is better than a demon primarch

[coarse swift]

Mm yes good ole Word Bearers

[obtuse reef]

Or the ironically named Emperor’s Children

[coarse swift]

What if the Emperor

Is actually just another chaos god

[obtuse reef]

Honestly, it’s more likely that it’s just Tzeentch messing with humanity

[coarse swift]

A mild amount of tomfoolery

[obtuse reef]

The Necrons are also pretty interesting.

Although being a Necron would suck, since you’ve got a chance to realize that you can’t taste or smell

[coarse swift]

Those are two senses I wouldn't miss tbh

My sense of smell is already shit and I don't find food that enjoyable

[obtuse reef]

That’s fair

The Orks are the only ones actually having fun, but it’d suck to be an Ork

Unless you were a war boss or something, chances are you’d die either to some random grunt or from infighting

[orchid fox]

sooooooooo i prob figured why processing is so damn high in general. the executable does daily/hourly/realtime save archives in backend as u play, on one hand i commend the devs for their effort. on the other WHY

[inland oasis]

Start the WAAAAAGGGHHHHH!

[restive tusk]

Why is spaceBourne on sale for like 3 bucks?? 🤔

The second one is going for about 10 bucks

[coarse swift]

ah

maybe I'll nab 2 when its like $5

[restive tusk]

that may be a little too hopeful. If they do keep developing at a good pace i imagine the regular price point eventually increasing

Though if they did it now with the first, who knows, mayb in a few years :)

I ended up not grabbing it either... got a lot of games on the back burner right now

[coarse swift]

just me being frugal

[restive tusk]

Im wondering if i'd play it long enough 🤔
It sure looks pretty decent from vids

[pure zinc]

No seriously

When do I unlock layered armor

[pure zinc]

“What the actual fuck”

Also the sound design is so cool

Idk how namielle isn’t the flagship monster

[dry copper]

If you're asking, it's because some games do not know how to make leveling feel compelling so they use their crafting mechanics reward systems as a crutch for their lack of endgame satisfaction or focus.

I hate games that offer you end game rewards after the game is all but over.

Shit you'd have loved to use getting to that point.

You just got sneezed on

“Accidentally” lobotomized China while playing hoi4

The war to achieve that had about as many casualties as can be expected

I kind of like outlaws hiding upgrades behind exploration...I mean..the really good upgrades. Obv not all upgrades.

Each exploration area is often a puzzle to be discovered

Not too difficult.

[mental rose]

But... she is(?) 🤨

Oh nvm. I got Velkhana and Namielle mixed up

And yea, that's basically her ultimate. Electrifying the water she sprays.

[shadow tartan]

Also a lot of memory leaks, doesn't handle garbage collection well

Just east away at frame rate until you die/crash

That's one good reason they have the shrines before each boss so you can reset the game

Like compared to vampire bro way less content

BD-1 > Nix
My hot take

[austere lance]

It helps that BD isn't in a buggy af "AAAA" game, lol

[winter yew]

Larian has to stop front-facing their games though before people decide they care that act 3 kinda sucks and dog on them

Mac and console players, it’s going to take a little longer to get Patch 7 through all the necessary technical checks and requirements and into your hands.

Although later than we originally expected, you should be diving into Patch 7 this October.

We appreciate you for bearing

Twitter · Sep 5, 2024, 1:41 PM

[winter yew]

It's gift bag 5 all over again

Console players stuck waiting instead of a global release

Just come out and say it's because of Xbox larian tons of devs already admitted it lol

[idle saffron]

Xbox is stopping Mac too?

Wild

[shadow tartan]

Store submission

[winter yew]

I wasn't referring to the mac, rather the console bit. a couple devs gave come out and said series s causes issues
I couldn't tell you why I thought it was the same as x no disc drive

[shadow tartan]

Steam is just easier

[idle saffron]

Steam doesn't give a shit if an update breaks literally everything

They aren't responsible

Consoles are

[shadow tartan]

Yup

So we don't get a repeat of things

Most of them just do metadata checks now and barely check functionality

[austere lance]

S has weaker hardware than the X

[winter yew]

I don't get why's that the case tbh they should of just removed the disc drive and called it a day

[idle saffron]

Have to save that for the Series S2

[austere lance]

Cuz they wanted an entry level cheaper console made for casual games

Basically just meant to be used for stuff like Fortnite, CoD, small indie games, and sports games

[winter yew]

I bet lots of people didn't know there was a difference upon buying though lol

[shadow tartan]

Illiteracy sucks doesn't it

[austere lance]

I think they knew, and that's why it's Xbox's best seller this gen. A surprising amount of people just play those games

[shadow tartan]

They saw the price difference and thought, cheaper XBOX

[balmy plaza]

Well there probably won't be a 2, since there probably won't be another xbox gen

At least another home console xbox gen

[idle saffron]

Bet?

[winter yew]

No disc drive causes cheaper as per ps5 lol

[shadow tartan]

I hope they have another console

[balmy plaza]

I do too

[winter yew]

Oh wait Japan's raising PS5 prices so no

😂

[balmy plaza]

All the stuff I've heard is that they might want to do handheld instead though

All rumours tho so

[shadow tartan]

No that's not entirely true, it's because of the value of the Yen

[winter yew]

A handheld Xbox take my money rn

[shadow tartan]

It's a deeper explanation than it's going up in price

[winter yew]

Just take my money what you want 300 go ahead

[balmy plaza]

Tbf there's probably a market for a handheld home console that does cod etc. Even if there's already a steam one

[shadow tartan]

Plus Pro is out later this year I think

[shadow tartan]

I use Remote Play a lot now

[winter yew]

Switch 2 should be able to run cod
They made like a ten year deal with Activision already

[idle saffron]

Personally I love consoles, no maintenance besides cleaning

[balmy plaza]

I've heard decent things about it tbf. It's not my thing since I have a studio flat and work from home so I'd may as well just be at my desk 😂 but it does seem quite good

[austere lance]

Microsoft said they're gonna port CoD to Switch soon

[balmy plaza]

Better than the other game streaming things

[quaint escarp]

steam deck 2 is in development and will prob release in 1-2 years

thats all im waiting for

[shadow tartan]

Isn't that why we have all of them

NERD

[idle saffron]

Gaming on the go is a good hook for many. I personally don't game if I'm not at home so it's lost on me

[balmy plaza]

It's honestly hard to ignore the parallels between xbox and Sega at this point

[idle saffron]

I got the switch because Mario

[balmy plaza]

Which is a shame

[shadow tartan]

Work away from home sometimes innit

[silver sparrow]

Agreed

[shadow tartan]

Same and Zelda

[silver sparrow]

Zelda

[shadow tartan]

I still have a gaming laptop though

[quaint escarp]

once that releases and dual boot is officially supported i would be able to pretty much play every pc game on the go

[shadow tartan]

I've grown up using PCs

Yeah I'm gonna get Steam Deck 2, 1 was ok

[coarse swift]

[balmy plaza]

My pc is honestly so much easier to use than my xbox for gaming

[quaint escarp]

its my emulation machine

[winter yew]

The only gaming related thing I care about is hardcopy games so I'm stuck with Nintendo

But gog on PC isn't a terrible alternative

I'd still rather hold the actual game in my hand though

[balmy plaza]

No need to navigate terrible store UI etc

[idle saffron]

Xbox gaming has generated 21.5 billion in revenue in 2024

[shadow tartan]

You wouldn't steal a car

[quaint escarp]

also great for romhacks and fangames

[idle saffron]

I don't think they are gonna be like fuck making consoles

[quaint escarp]

i would

[shadow tartan]

I buy everything through the PS App now

[balmy plaza]

I think the main thing is that barely any of that is from the actual consoles, and mostly comes from people who don't own an xbox

[shadow tartan]

Actually yeah you would, scum

[winter yew]

Well Xbox has already said more than once you don't need a Xbox & they just partners with Activision for a pretty penny
Could go either way

[coarse swift]

Why are they called consoles if they don't provide consolation

[quaint escarp]

i have a series s and it collects dust

[winter yew]

Excuse me Amazon not Activision

[balmy plaza]

Cdkeys

[quaint escarp]

bc i have all the games on it on pc

[balmy plaza]

Only if it's a big publisher tho

[quaint escarp]

ill steal ur car tell me where its parked

[idle saffron]

Hardware sales are up too

[coarse swift]

They wood be

OMG

[quaint escarp]

im taking my sisters ps5 next year when gta6 comes out

#memes🤡 message

[winter yew]

If it's not delayed lol

[shadow tartan]

Too scared to take mine

[balmy plaza]

Only xbox game I'm really looking forward to atm is stalker 2 and even that doesn't look great

[quaint escarp]

nah shes currently using it as decoration for her living room

[shadow tartan]

You wouldn't steal Nate's PS5

[balmy plaza]

Actually I'm wrong, Indiana Jones looks great

[quaint escarp]

shes not a gamer she literally bought it bc it looked neat

[coarse swift]

Something's gotta have value to be worth stealing

[shadow tartan]

The Nintendo stuff I have is worth more money

[balmy plaza]

It's a shame how Xbox series x has better specs than ps5 but the optimisation is almost always worse lol

[shadow tartan]

Minty Ninty

[dry copper]

Sick black ship

[quaint escarp]

ill throw away ur old nintendo cartridges

[winter yew]

Good ol' Nintendo never losing value
You want Mario 3d all stars collection for a reasonable price too bad

[dry copper]

Kinda reminds me of my ship in starfield

[shadow tartan]

I'll piss in your shoes

[balmy plaza]

Trying this on xbox tonight because it kept crashing on pc 😂 had fun so far though

[balmy plaza]

It's kinda falling into the same bracket as Hogwarts and Avatar for me so far

Like it's pretty enjoyable but the world carries it massively

[shadow tartan]

The only reason I don't game on PC so much anymore is because of optimisation

[dry copper]

The only reason I do is because of mods.

[balmy plaza]

If it's strategy I'll go pc 100% of the time

Or NMS

[mental rose]

I admit, console gaming is much simpler

[balmy plaza]

Because of that nasty memory leak

[mental rose]

But I don't think I'd be able to move away from PCs, despite that

[winter yew]

My NMS PC copy is permanently on pathfinder lol

[shadow tartan]

PS4 fucked me completely for Expedition progress

[tame cairn]

finally beat the promised consort

[balmy plaza]

The new one?

[shadow tartan]

Nah few Exps back

[balmy plaza]

Aaaah okay

Ngl I've been fishing so much

[winter yew]

Memory leaks got better after echoes I find

[dry copper]

I sometimes forget there's a ps4

I got a ps3 to watch blueray discs on. never got a ps4

[balmy plaza]

I'm a sucker for side activity mini games and fishing is the only one that's worked well for me in NMS imo

[coarse swift]

PS5 wasn't much better, I kept dealing with crashes so much back in the day that I stopped until I could get a PC copy

And then a certain unforgettable chad passed me a copy

A save editor fixed my issue

[balmy plaza]

Nms on pc almost feels like a different game at times

Like in terms of stability etc it's such a difference

[dry copper]

nms in vr feels like a whole new experience

[coarse swift]

The only issue I have atm is the loading hitch when leaving atmosphere

But otherwise it's great

[shadow tartan]

@idle saffron there's talking about NMS 🤣

I really wanna fish in VR at some point

Ehhh, it's very good

[shadow tartan]

NMS in VR is one of the best things I've played in VR

[idle saffron]

Must play though?

[idle saffron]

Yeah same

Even with the bugs

[winter yew]

Alright I'll check out the trailer
I did like city and origins alot

[mental rose]

The FNAF VR games?
Like the new Help Wanted or something? 😄

[shadow tartan]

In my opinion yes, but that's just me

[coarse swift]

If you're keeping up on HL story it probably is

[quaint escarp]

nms flying in vr kinda sucks

[dry copper]

Skyrim was my second favorite in VR (even with bugs)

[idle saffron]

I loved it

[shadow tartan]

@idle saffron we want to be Lawnmower Man and we'll never have the dream

[idle saffron]

Elite Dangerous for me, love just drifting in the abyss and looking around

[coarse swift]

I got my friend a copy of it a long while back since he has VR
Guiding others to a treasure I cannot possess since I don't have VR

[idle saffron]

Ikr

[mental rose]

That reminds me, does War Thunder have VR support?

[dry copper]

After playing with a virtual stick in NMS, I couldn't play ED in VR...I wanted the virtual stick so bad

[mental rose]

Pretty sure simulator fans would love it

[idle saffron]

That would be nice for sure

[dry copper]

Virtual HOTAS was amazing

[coarse swift]

Can y'all ask John Nintendo when the good Bomberman games are finally gonna go on the Switch

[shadow tartan]

I lend you my GBA and Bomberman games

[coarse swift]

Not those ones

I'm talking the ones that broke formula

[shadow tartan]

Super Nintendo one?

[coarse swift]

N64 and GameCube

[shadow tartan]

I'm not lending you my N64

[winter yew]

Ok wtf why does a trailer for a VR game look so good
I might actually buy vr now

[mental rose]

Is there a upgraded Switch coming soon(ish) or am I just remembering wrong?

[coarse swift]

Been a lotta talk about it

Would be perfect for Prime 4

[winter yew]

likely in next two years Dev kits are out

[coarse swift]

I have a N64 and GameCube

[winter yew]

Personally I'ma wait for the switch 2 lite lol

[coarse swift]

And the games in question

I just don't have a way to hook them up to a TV, nothing that takes RCA

[tame cairn]

VR games will only get better but there are some fun games on it

[mental rose]

I've been on the fence about getting a Switch for Mystery Dungeon remake...
I looked at all the technical information, and technically my current PC monitor should let me play Switch with it. (It's got HDMI)

[tame cairn]

i actually sold my VR because I didn't use it much but still

[winter yew]

Batman vr legitimately looks really good I'm shocked lol

[shadow tartan]

They have HDMI converters for N64 for about ten bucks

[coarse swift]

Effort

[idle saffron]

That's what I said

[tame cairn]

it does but im still sad its a vr game lol

[idle saffron]

Actually interested

[shadow tartan]

No you didn't

[coarse swift]

Did Discord fuck mobile up again or is my phone fucking up

[idle saffron]

Just did

[tame cairn]

the next arkham game is a vr game after the disaster that was suicide squad

[shadow tartan]

Nah never saw it

[idle saffron]

Batman vr legitimately looks really good I'm shocked lol

See?

[shadow tartan]

Totally different studio

Arkham is just a WB IP now

[tame cairn]

VR? yea for sure

I know that

its just wild

[shadow tartan]

Nah, everybody is gone

S'wut happens

Disgruntled people

[shadow tartan]

Nah this is sorcery

You didn't say it before

[tame cairn]

im not surprised they're gone, but it still makes me sad that technically the next arkham is a VR game. i want more arkham..and like i said i sold my VR cuz I didn't use it much

[idle saffron]

I'm a witch

[tame cairn]

one game I really liked on the VR was Vader Immortal

that was fun for what it was

[shadow tartan]

Read my palm

Your love line is broken

But your life line is long

[shadow tartan]

Arsehole

How tf did you know

That's too spot on

[idle saffron]

https://tenor.com/view/oz-gif-22339068

[shadow tartan]

Burn the witch!!!!

[tame cairn]

"i love this game!"

[winter yew]

https://tenor.com/view/abell46s-reface-witch-bruja-halloween-gif-18968787

[austere lance]

He's the reason I gave up, lol. I beat everything in the main game multiple times and beat everything in Erdtree up to him, but I can't beat him. Not without doing a full respec, which defeats the purpose of my playthrough

[coarse swift]

I really hope Space Marine 2 does well

And that it's good

[tame cairn]

ah yeah, the mage only playthrough..

good luck with that on this mf

aint no way

I had to switch builds twice

plus i was level 197 fighting him sooo

[austere lance]

Like I said, I've beaten literally everything else in the game besides him. Even that heinous giant sunflower, tho I summoned my friend to help with that cuz a boss that OP having three fucking phases is bullshit

[tame cairn]

true

no i believe it though

most bosses were difficult sure

but none made me switch my build to kill him lol

Marais Executioner Sword ended him for me

7k damage with one AoW

if it hits all the way

[austere lance]

Radahn doesn't even feel fair in his second phase, unless you're a tank with a billion armor and hp

[tame cairn]

literally this video haha

he's so strong

[austere lance]

The endless teleporting and Shadow Clone Jutsu bullshit are heinous

[mental rose]

I'd say, considering what they're spending on promo material.
I mean, look at those custom consoles, and there's only TWO of each in existence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Sg2f_tQApg

[tame cairn]

the clone thing got me more times than i want to admit

plus he sends out like 4 of them

[austere lance]

And nuking 3/4 of the arena when he's bored

[tame cairn]

😭

[austere lance]

Fuck that boss

[coarse swift]

Concord also spent a lot on promo

[balmy plaza]

I still think that sote is a slightly worse version of the base game

In most respects

[tame cairn]

well if you ever wanna switch your builds which i doubt just use this

[balmy plaza]

I like it but not enough to really finish it tbh

[tame cairn]

stupidly strong with thorny cracked tear and rotten winged sword insignia

[tame cairn]

that's insane

I don't feel that way at all

most of the weapons are better too

[austere lance]

#1 on Top Sellers on Steam, and this was two days ago before the game or reviews were even out 😆

[mental rose]

Is that Elden Ring's version of a Giantdad build? 😄

[balmy plaza]

The weapons are great, it's just that nothing feels rewarding imo

[tame cairn]

not only the damage on said weapons but the animations SotE have shown are so good

[balmy plaza]

Like most dungeons have cookbooks as rewards

[coarse swift]

I really liked Space Marine 1 so whenever I get the chance to play 2 I hope it feels just as gratifying

[balmy plaza]

And imo the world design is super barren

Space marine 2 looks great ngl

[austere lance]

It's everything from SM1 but better and on a larger scale

[coarse swift]

Just hope I can ignore the pvp

[tame cairn]

okay i can get this i suppose, that is kinda annoying

but usually the rewarding feeling comes from killing the bosses

[austere lance]

You can, it's its own seperate mode

[mental rose]

Let's hope Saber does the "early access" period better than their competitors

People who preordered get to play starting today

[tame cairn]

like, the base game remembrances aren't that good same with the DLC ones lol

[austere lance]

The bread and butter of SM2 is the co-op PvE mode where you can fully customize your Marine and level different classes

[coarse swift]

I don't mind an RTS match with a friend but otherwise competitive games just aren't for me. More of a cooperative kinda guy

[tame cairn]

id rather use legendary armaments or normal weapons rather than remembrances and its always been that way

[austere lance]

The 10+ hour campaign is solid too

[balmy plaza]

Like I don't dislike it at all, I just feel like the boss design was made a little too annoying and the areas a little less rewarding

And imo the world should have been like half the size

[tame cairn]

none of the bosses made me annoyed

except for radahn

for good reason, he's the final boss

[idle saffron]

Blood Angel

Just saying

[coarse swift]

Big worlds are a treat, even if they're empty sometimes

Unless it's Starfield

[mental rose]

Can even cosplay as a traitor if you so desire.... you heretic. 😄

[tame cairn]

SotE isn't even that empty lmao.

[austere lance]

Only in PvP, lol

[balmy plaza]

Some sections of SOTE are unironically more empty than starfield

[coarse swift]

Motorcycle-less behavior, join the White Scars

[balmy plaza]

Only specific areas but when you're there it's really noticeable

[tame cairn]

maybe one section

the abyssal woods, thats about it

[quaint escarp]

minecraft is empty

[idle saffron]

Speaking of big worlds, I'm very curious as to how LNF will be received

[balmy plaza]

I can think of at least 4 tbh

The woods are the worst though tbf

[tame cairn]

i can't

[idle saffron]

Lots of people don't grasp how big an actual earth sized planet in a game will be

[balmy plaza]

The finger ruins are super bad imo

[coarse swift]

Hopefully better than NMS at launch

[balmy plaza]

And the bits at the bottom and very top of the map

[mental rose]

Apparently the SM2 devs are adding Apothecary class later on.

[austere lance]

👀

[idle saffron]

I don't think the launch will be even remotely similar, but I am wondering how many will be able to handle how much "empty" space there will be

[coarse swift]

"theres nothing to do"
My brother in christ what do you think explorers deal with irl

[balmy plaza]

I guess it depends on what's there POI wise, and on the world generation itself

[mental rose]

I wonder if Grey Knights are also on the list. Wanna play my power falchion dual wielding, teleporting Interceptor madlad

[idle saffron]

Exactly, I fully expect a ton of those comments

[idle saffron]

Even if there are a million different POIs, earth is really frigging big

This is another game that you wont see everything in

[balmy plaza]

I mean true. At the end of the day though the target audience is clearly the same as with NMS, which arguably has this issue but bigger

[shadow tartan]

Probably awesome, however #light-no-fire

[idle saffron]

Banned

[coarse swift]

Me finally finding a good place to settle down but I notice someone else a mile away

[idle saffron]

Me too, time to move

[shadow tartan]

https://tenor.com/view/leonardo-dicaprio-laughing-reverse-reverse-card-reverse-uno-gif-3758578067338957449

[tame cairn]

I hope LNF is gooooood man

[balmy plaza]

It looks so cozy

[shadow tartan]

I hope they turn PvP on

[tame cairn]

in need of a nother trailer

[tame cairn]

i hope pvp is just like nms

a choice

[silver sparrow]

it will have fishing 😂

[tame cairn]

because that makes sense

[shadow tartan]

No, only punishment

[idle saffron]

I'm curious about that too

[tame cairn]

😟

[shadow tartan]

Pokes with spear

[idle saffron]

Everything they have said so far (not much) is together this, together that

Never fight for

[balmy plaza]

I really hope we can turn multiplayer off

[shadow tartan]

Die together in PvP

[tame cairn]

i think NMS has pvp done correctly even if its not the best in that game

a simple button to switch on and off

[idle saffron]

Another question I have is: DLC? We can't reasonably expect the same sort of updates for free for years... can we?

[shadow tartan]

Throws shield

[tame cairn]

i mean..

[coarse swift]

I can't wait for people to accidentally clip thru the map in LNF and trigger their kenophobia

[tame cairn]

we can, but for their sake i want them to make more mulah

so id be fine with paying for dlc

[shadow tartan]

Maybe, free updates may have been a driving factor for selling more units

Never know eh

[idle saffron]

Building their brand back up too

[coarse swift]

My brand

[balmy plaza]

I bet that the companion system in NMS will be in LNF as the mount system

Imagine collecting rare dragon eggs and things

[coarse swift]

Better be spiders

[shadow tartan]

And then setting people on fire in PvP

[idle saffron]

For omelettes

I do expect it to be similar to NMS with a casual vibe. I don't see it being a grindfest for levels like a lot of RPGs do

[balmy plaza]

I hope animal types are regional. So like you'd get a different proc gen dragon than another area if you travelled far enough

[shadow tartan]

One that spits acid

To melt people in PvP

[balmy plaza]

That would mean a lot of cool stuff for the community too, since there'd be a dragon that's unique to the discord's region of the planet etc

[shadow tartan]

I'm staying away from the Discord region, I need to be with the Reddit brethren

Imagine @thorn dawn comes back for launch of LNF

[balmy plaza]

Ah yes the smouldering crater region

[tame cairn]

do you guys think Space Marine 2 will be worth $70

[winter yew]

Spiderman 2?

The ps5 game?

[balmy plaza]

Sean Murray 2

[tame cairn]

😭

Spiderman 2 I got with the ps5

[balmy plaza]

Honestly it looks like a great game. Not the sort that has huge playtime maybe but what's there looks worth it for sure

[winter yew]

If Spiderman big ass hell no it can be 100% in less than 20 hours
I was sitting there like that's it? I want my money back

[idle saffron]

Looks like a nice shooter, I will enjoy

[balmy plaza]

It looks like a throwback to 2012- 2016

In a very good way

[tame cairn]

looks fun yea

like gears of war

[balmy plaza]

Also new free missions this year too

[tame cairn]

yeah it was my first plat lol

second being elden ring

[balmy plaza]

I really hope I can mod it so I can have my MP customisation in the campaign
