[idle saffron]

As a classic robocop fan, it hit all the right notes

[shadow tartan]

Yeah I got this one but I'm upgrading Pilgrim because it's ridiculous

[idle saffron]

They got Weller in for the voice too

[shadow tartan]

Everything bro

I was more interested in this than Shadow of the Erdtree

Your move creep

Clarence Boedicker, dead or alive, you're coming with me

It was very well done imo - including feeling like a frigging tank

[orchid fox]

i basically go from about 550 something no skills/traits as far as i remember in ng+3 (strongest game armor bullking basegame)
too about 570 ng+3 for a fuckin common set and im just arriving at world 2 of third run @shadow tartan

the scaling is a bit ridicolous

tbh

[shadow tartan]

Have you seen Mystic Pilgrim though

[orchid fox]

yes brother i own it

lol

[shadow tartan]

This looks cool but I'm worried they will fix it

[orchid fox]

wdym "fix"

[shadow tartan]

Using common armour over things that people upgrade

I played with it and it was cool but it just made me want to use other armour

Otherwise it just becomes boring spamfest

The game didn't provide much of a challenge to me compared to GoW

Not saying it's bad but there was only one maybe two slightly challenging bosses

Elden Ring kicked my ass way more

Only reason I grinded out the sparks was to get it over and done with and not think about again

[inner copper]

Classic

[obtuse reef]

I’ve played that game shown in the thumbnail. It’s called Tin Can and it’s pretty fun

I definitely recommend checking it out

[balmy plaza]

Played more outlaws, and I think I've kinda hit a wall with it. The world is fantastic but the game does so little to immerse me in it that I'd may as well watch one of the shows and have a better time

[obtuse reef]

Yeah, I’ve heard some pretty bad stuff about Outlaws. Just sounds like another half baked game with bad AI

[balmy plaza]

I feel more immersed in the setting with something like Andor or even the Mandalorian, which shouldn't happen considering it's interactive

[obtuse reef]

Well that seems like a bit of a deal

[balmy plaza]

Probably worth a shot tbf

[obtuse reef]

I just thought it was kinda funny to see a $50 game on sale for $1

[obtuse reef]

That’s a lotta money

[abstract turret]

Silly money for a console

[coarse swift]

Shit better be as strong as a ps6

[coarse swift]

Wait till you see how much PCs cost

[obtuse reef]

Yeah, but PCs can do more than gaming

[coarse swift]

Like require more maintenance

[abstract turret]

It's not that hard tbh

[coarse swift]

No one said it was hard

[abstract turret]

Another 80 for the drive...

[obtuse reef]

Yeah, I’m not gonna have a life, since 1.0 released. My friends and I are probably going to be spending a good few months on that

[dry copper]

Yeah the closing to that intro trailer was pretty sick

Also the look up to space is probably forshadowing future development

[obtuse reef]

Satisfactory is such a good game

[dry copper]

The closing lines to the song playing are "Maybe we can build a new world"

[obtuse reef]

Our previous strategy in Satisfactory was to partially automate the stuff needed to progress and fully automate stuff once we could do it properly. But that sucked

Fun fact: handcrafting supercomputers is slow

[dry copper]

I also noticed on the assembly line console controllers

Satisfactory fans are probably losing their minds rn

That 1.0 release of a good game is always a big deal

[obtuse reef]

I’m just dreading the next few months

[dry copper]

I never played or wanted to play satisfactory

Logistics doesn't look fun to me

but then...now I'm playing Star Trucker....

Which is totally logistics

[obtuse reef]

See, my role in that game was build the ground work of the factory, such as very basic automation and foundations. Not only do I suffer through fully automating something for the first time, I have to deal with my friends whining about my lack of organization

[dry copper]

Then tell them to organize

[obtuse reef]

Well, they do

[dry copper]

When I played enshrouded, we sorted chests by their machines and organized everything coming in

The organization was kind of fun

Made you feel a part of a group

Though the server died after everyone got the end game stuff and nobody had anymore needs, so there was no need to continue to gather

Basically just sat on a gold mine and did nothing

[obtuse reef]

That’s how every Minecraft playthrough with my friends goes

We get over halfway through (or hell, even beat the game) and just get bored

[dry copper]

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

[obtuse reef]

I think I’ve gotten a lot better at playing Medic in TF2

One on the left is over the course of several games (they ended in stalemate, so stats got carried over) and the left is during a single game

Medic is surprisingly good at close quarters combat, since one of his syringe guns lets him leech health from whoever gets shot

And it fires really fast

[mental rose]

Syringe guns can be useful when retreating and after your Heavy dies.

[coarse swift]

You too eh?

[mental rose]

I've mostly switched exclusively to the crossbow though

[earnest hatch]

phenomenal opinion

[obtuse reef]

See, I almost never pocket specific people. Unless we’re actively pushing, anyone who begs for me to pocket them gets ignored

I prefer to play combat medic

[earnest hatch]

Also Space Marine 2 is incredibly good

[mental rose]

Combat medic is a taboo!
Do you want entire team to hate you? 😄

[coarse swift]

Can't wait for the story to end with Ficsit looking over the work we've done and telling us "Good job Pioneer, the work you've done is... satisfactory."
Absolute cinema

[mental rose]

Sure, proper medic heals everyone

[obtuse reef]

Oh, I still heal people. I run quick fix so people can get healed faster and I can start fighting faster

And I always stick near other teammates and heal anyone who needs it

[mental rose]

Ok, now that's the attitude of a Medic main!

[coarse swift]

I like to get hit by my turret and then ask for healing. Job security

[austere lance]

Battlefield 1 medics best medics, lol

[mental rose]

When you said combat medic, I thought you meant it like you charge at the enemy, syringe gun in hand and/or try to melee people

[obtuse reef]

I just ignore people who beg for a pocket medic. Once a Pyro was begging me to pocket him. I ignored him for the entire game

[mental rose]

Was he running Phlog too? 😏

[dry copper]

I now understand why Cage was doing so many odd movies. He needed the money to keep afloat after losing so much in the housing crisis in 2008 and he was paying for his moms institutionalization

[obtuse reef]

I think so

[mental rose]

Ohh the no-brain Pyro loadout. 😂

[obtuse reef]

Scouts also tend to beg for a pocket medic

[coarse swift]

I mean scouts die first so it makes sense

[obtuse reef]

Sure, but I’m not risking dying to pocket a scout

I’ll heal em, but I won’t pocket them

[coarse swift]

You wouldn't Uber a scout

[mental rose]

99% of Scouts, yes.
I've seen some pro Scout mains who are absolute menaces though... 😵‍💫

I'm gonna finish the campaign tonight then start the PvE Operations

[mental rose]

That 2 million concurrent? Lemme check

[austere lance]

No, just sales across all platforms

It's at 167k concurrent and rising on Steam

[mental rose]

Beat me to it.

[dry copper]

it will prob peak today

[obtuse reef]

There’s a specific nickname I have for scout mains that I can’t share here

Anyone who mains or is good at a specific class has the capacity to be particularly annoying, but scout mains and sniper mains are by far the worst of the bunch

Soldier mains are kinda just there, Demo mains are also kinda there, Engi mains tend to be pretty chill, Heavy mains don’t exist, Medic mains are the best (not just saying that because I main Medic), and Spy mains aren’t as bad as people think

[edgy viper]

800 euro for digital + stand sold seperatly

So for ver with disk drive and game it will be 1k€ sony lost their mind.

[shadow tartan]

Just don't buy it, I'm not buying it for that either

I just don't like scalpers

Wonder how that's gonna play out

People are still gonna buy it regardless of opinion

https://www.eurogamer.net/games-industry-layoffs-not-the-result-of-corporate-greed-and-those-affected-should-drive-an-uber-says-ex-sony-president

Always have practical skills to fall back on, never get too comfortable, history repeats itself

Almost like I said this a while back @idle saffron

[edgy viper]

Sony lost it when they moved hq to usa

[shadow tartan]

I was taught this in my first year and always remind people of it

If they don't listen and then end up crying, I can collect tears in my jar, nomnomnom

[shadow tartan]

It's a trend with other things too 😬

Not Sony but the place

Again, history repeats itself

Not anti-American or anything but there is definitely a trend

Guess why Colonial Marines was so fucked

[edgy viper]

When sony was in asia they had diffrent policy diffrent philosophy. Now it just pure greed corpo machine.

[shadow tartan]

I'm obviously pro Europe and Asia in regard to that but when it comes to sales, the US was dominant

I can't deny that, it's all based on trends and things can still change again

[edgy viper]

And i hope it will

[shadow tartan]

They just end up hiring people from Europe or Asia to sort shit out anyway

Why do you think I went over there

Apparently all that experience under one roof couldn't get first time pass submissions for Nintendo

It's not easy but they sure are arrogant over there

[austere lance]

I'm waiting to see if Phil Spencer actually managed to pull off making an Xbox that has access to pc stores like he kept talking about, lol

History might repeat itself. PS3 was overpriced and underpowered so the 360 smoked it, then the Xbone pulled a PS3 and got smoked by the PS4. Now the PS5 Pro is incredibly overpriced with zero reason to buy it, so now the ball is in Xbox's court to pull what they did with the 360

[mental rose]

AI was broken by a one-letter typo in the code... that they refused to fix.

[shadow tartan]

That simple eh
OMFG

[mental rose]

It blows my mind

[shadow tartan]

Ok

[shadow tartan]

Bruv why do you think I've always been platform agnostic

[obtuse reef]

The code part doesn’t surprise me. Sometimes your code gives you the finger. The part that surprises me is that they completely ignored the issue

[shadow tartan]

If either of you had half an idea of what happened then it wouldn't blow your mind

I've mentioned it before

LOL

Shares a fucking video

Ahahahahahaha

Bruv this doesn't cover shit

Literally doesn't even explain why

[austere lance]

Shoulda just made a new AvP

[mental rose]

Oh... you were sarcastic... 😒

[shadow tartan]

It's because Randy Pitchford is a grade A piece of shit

And people didn't get paid

Studios shut down

[mental rose]

Fine then...

[shadow tartan]

If people aren't there then how can they fix code

[mental rose]

Forget I said anything...

[shadow tartan]

Educate yourself

The shit is out there

Some of us have a very good memory

Some of us have to deal first hand with pricks like Randy

At least Space Siege was alright...

[austere lance]

But do you deal firsthand with whoever isn't giving me a new AvP game, cuz if so you should slap em upside the dome 😤

I'll simply shit their socks

[shadow tartan]

A lot of those old Rebellion Devs ended up elsewhere, including places I was

Worked with them since Headstrong days

[austere lance]

Did anyone you know do that weird 1v4 Predator: Hunting Grounds game

[shadow tartan]

They're just dotted around everywhere

If someone manages to make a good one I'll play it, that was some of the best gaming I ever had

[shadow tartan]

I have it but didn't play it, was it Predator hunting marines/humans

Because that was Predator Tag on the 1995 AvP

[austere lance]

Yee

One player is Predator, the others are the Marine squad

[shadow tartan]

Yeah first AvP had that

We used to play that after school

Best MP mode

[austere lance]

So did AvP 2010, LMAO

[shadow tartan]

I didn't play that because my ex worked on it

[austere lance]

Someone decided it should be a whole game now, lol

[shadow tartan]

Pfff

People have lower standards now bruv

[austere lance]

With lots of Predator skins to buy, including famous ones from movies

[shadow tartan]

Ok I'm interested

[austere lance]

Also female Predators

[shadow tartan]

Jk

[mental rose]

AVP 2 (or is it 2000?) was the best AvP game I ever played

[coarse swift]

Yautja topic

[obtuse reef]

Why am I not surprised

[shadow tartan]

That's the Monolith one

[mental rose]

Shame you cannot (legally) get it anywhere anymore

[shadow tartan]

It was alright

Monolith are legends, Blood and Blood 2 are wicked games

[austere lance]

They've always been a thing in the comics, lol. They're larger and meaner than the males

[shadow tartan]

Just an FYI, Randy screwed the pooch big time and a lot of people lost work, he took the money and didn't pay people, hired external studios to do the lions share as he has done before, they contacted people like me because a producer in America (surprise surprise) was ignoring all the shit going down.

[coarse swift]

Blood is a good game

[mental rose]

I did like how all the playable characters tied to the overarching story of it.

[shadow tartan]

Timegate and Demiurge suffered greatly and Randy got off

[obtuse reef]

Ah, so it’s not a case of the internet being weird. Well that’s good to know

[shadow tartan]

And people suck off Borderlands and moan about other companies

[mental rose]

Blood 1 is a cult classic.
Blood 2... people allegedly didn't like it as much.

[shadow tartan]

One of the games I learnt level design on

With my best mate at school

And then I designed some real shit that nobody cares about

[coarse swift]

What'd you design

[shadow tartan]

Some crap
My finest work was rewriting all the system messages for Nintendo DSi

So if you ever played DS/DSi a lot of the system based messages are written by me

Because Japanese translations were bad

[coarse swift]

I care

You're a legend Nate

Never had a DSi but thanks for the program

Did have a DS just didn't have friends to use messaging with

[austere lance]

But you worked on my beloved Arkham Knight 😔

[viscid loom]

found this saved on my computer, i think i made this in paint 3d like 2 years ago

[shadow tartan]

@coarse swift bruv you get what I mean though, I don't do this for any validation because it changes nothing.
It's how my grandma brought me up, to not be gullible.
I know my approach can seem a bit brutal or strange at times but it's because I don't want people to look like morons.
I actually want them to wise up.
It takes so little effort to share a link to an article but it takes more effort to understand why things occur the way they do.
It's why I can come across the way I do when people discuss crunch without realising how and why it goes down.

[shadow tartan]

Took years off my life and I want it paid back in blood

There was no fucking way that I should have been doing what I was doing

[obtuse reef]

Don’t rob a blood bank

[shadow tartan]

But someone had to pull their socks up and sort shit out

Otherwise I'd end up like all the other fuckers procrastinating or faking it till they make it

And that goes for anything anywhere

People deal with this kind of shit on a daily in every line of work

[shadow tartan]

I want it straight from the body

Some people owe me a blood tax

Made a pact with the devil the day I walked through the door

I'm calling in some favours this year

[coarse swift]

I can relate to that it's just I'm in the wrong field for it

I don't wanna be stuck in automotive

[shadow tartan]

Yeah you get treated the same

Asking too much, paid too little

But some of the shit read I anywhere is like, fuck off

I've been given enough rope to hang myself and I'm still here

I've seen so much flop over the past few years I didn't know if I really wanted to get back into it

You've seen the shit that people have said to me, people that do nothing and couldn't sit in my chair for an hour before panicking

So I feel justified being the prick I am

Even @inner copper has seen me put my money where my mouth is first hand

[inner copper]

You’re always welcome to put your money in my pocket

Just saying

But yes I can confirm the above

[pure zinc]

Badassery

[balmy plaza]

I love how heavy the guns feel

[shadow tartan]

Like how everyone thought the Community Managers were handling competitions but it was actually me solo
And picking the winners impartially while getting abuse from the same people

[inner copper]

I'm almost finished with the Space Marine 2 campaign and uh, I'm 99% sure I know what new enemy the devs are gonna add later this year 😆

[restive tusk]

@austere lance you had the right hunch. After the short demo, i don't feel i'd wanna pay over 19.99 for it. Banishers*

[austere lance]

I could tell just by the trailers tbh

[restive tusk]

It's cool, but it's more interactive movie than gameplay

27 matches of Operations or Eternal War (PvP) to unlock your class's highest tier head piece 💀

And every weapon has a perk tree, and so does every class

And the menus suck ass and explain nothing

EZ grind

[inland oasis]

Thursday I will be purging heresy in the name of THE EMPEROR

[austere lance]

I finished the campaign, now I'm doing Operations. Might check out PvP tomorrow

[sleek cloud]

Space Marines 2 worth picking up even if you've never played a Warhammer game?

[abstract turret]

https://youtu.be/W2wOn8zS8dU?si=LS6aoZD6mf6FgxP8
😆

[orchid fox]

an actual faction or original?

[frigid yarrow]

Warhammer space marines 1 should be picked before 2

It has a lot of references and callouts from that game

There's characters they mention from the First game which will sound alien to you

[charred badge]

They gave kaiba a belt

[balmy plaza]

100%! It's really good. It doesn't really require any lore knowledge but it does follow on from the first game. So at least reading a synopsis is probably a good idea

[shadow tartan]

By yourself

[inland oasis]

The loner legion.

[sleek cloud]

I'll probably play through the first one first

[balmy plaza]

So cool that the blood ravens are in

As its advertised to be

[balmy plaza]

Space marine 2 feels like playing that really awesome fan animation with the xenos on the space hulk type thing

[austere lance]

Actual faction

[balmy plaza]

They're adding a new faction?

Also I love how the mechanicus' language is basically dial up tones lol

[austere lance]

They're adding something besides the Tyranids and ||Rubric Marines|| currently in the game

[balmy plaza]

Oooo interesting

[austere lance]

Spoilers for who it's gonna be:
||Necrons||

[balmy plaza]

Ah that will be cool, one of my favourites

Only in operations I take it?

[austere lance]

Yeah, they haven't said anything about campaign DLC

[balmy plaza]

Makes sense I guess

The campaign is amazing so far, aside from a couple of performance issues

Genuinely the highest enemy density I've ever seen in a shooter lol

[austere lance]

Yeah it uh, doesn't run very well on anything besides a high end computer as far as I'm aware 😆

I'm still having fun with it tho, and hopefully they'll patch its performance in a few months. That seems to be common with games lately, lol

[mental rose]

If you’re disrespectful to any machines, chances are your local tech priest will give you a free lifetime subscription to being a servitor

[balmy plaza]

For sure

I was meaning the guy from space marine 2

[obtuse reef]

Oh I’m aware

[balmy plaza]

I also love how their language sounds like dial up lol

[obtuse reef]

I’m just talking about the Mechanicus in general, because they’re one of my favorite 40k factions

[orchid fox]

no matter what balance change they made

i will prob not be convicned to return

for several reasons

[balmy plaza]

They're really really cool, I like the designs a lot

The lore is interesting too

[obtuse reef]

That goes for all of WH40k

[balmy plaza]

Ngl I'm not too keen on the orks in lore or design

But most things I do really like

[obtuse reef]

The Orks are interesting. The reason they’re not as interesting (on the surface, at least) is because they’re the only ones not having a horrible time. Their technology literally runs off of the power of belief

It looks like shit because under the known laws of the universe, it shouldn’t function

And yet it does

They’re not nearly as deep as the Imperium, not nearly as mysterious as the Necrons, and definitely not as advanced as any other space faring faction, but they’re interesting in their own right

[quartz ferry]

Orkz da best!

[pure zinc]

Why are the heretics made of dust?

[obtuse reef]

Because they thought suicide charging a trench full of lasguns was a good idea

[pure zinc]

And so now their blood is rainbow dust?

[obtuse reef]

No, they’re a pile of dust

Either that or that’s the chaos fucking with em

[pure zinc]

I’m talking about the heretic space marines

[obtuse reef]

Yeah, that’s probably Chaos

[pure zinc]

Chaos is rainbow dust

[obtuse reef]

Well, no, but they’re probably mutated by the Warp, making their blood a sort of rainbow dust substance

[pure zinc]

What is the warp

[obtuse reef]

A weird dimension that enables interstellar travel, it’s very unstable and is home to the Chaos gods

[pure zinc]

Ah

That makes sense

[obtuse reef]

The warp allows ships to travel absurdly far in a matter of days, but if a ship gets lost, it can be stranded for hundreds if not thousands of years

[dry copper]

Thread the needle

[obtuse reef]

It will feel like days or weeks for the crew, however

[pure zinc]

So that’s why warhammer is 40k years into the future?

[obtuse reef]

No, it takes place in the 41st (iirc) millennium

The God Emperor, an essentially immortal being, basically gave humanity the ability to travel the warp, as well as creating the space marines and leading humanity on so many crusades

But then some shit happened and now he’s a corpse on a throne

[pure zinc]

I really like the way the space marines talk

They’re like space knights

[obtuse reef]

That’s exactly what they are

[pure zinc]

Oh

lol

That’s fucking awesome

[obtuse reef]

Although most of them are pretentious assholes who forget what they were originally created for

Which is to protect all of humanity

[dry copper]

Understandable

[inner copper]

You talking about me again?

[obtuse reef]

Well, are you a superhuman soldier wearing armor that weighs more than a tank?

[inner copper]

Maybe

[pure zinc]

I would cosplay a space marine in a heartbeat if I had the craftsmanship skills for it

[obtuse reef]

In any case, there are very few chapters of space marines who actually care about normal humans

[pure zinc]

I assume the blue ones are one of them

[obtuse reef]

They are not

[inner copper]

I have an urge to play Space Hulk again with the release of the new game

[pure zinc]

Oh

[obtuse reef]

The Ultramarines are kinda infamous for being the most basic of space marine chapters

[inner copper]

They were one of the first

[obtuse reef]

Yes

[pure zinc]

So blue is like the default color

Kinda?

[inner copper]

I used to have a few models painted up as UMs

[obtuse reef]

Each chapter has their own culture

[pure zinc]

Interesting

[obtuse reef]

The Templars are known for being crusade happy morons who realized they can ignore the rule that limits their marine count during peacetime if they’re never at peace

The Salamanders like fire and are actually decent people who care about humanity

And there’re so many other chapters that I can’t name

[pure zinc]

What about the hawk lords?

The ourple ones

[obtuse reef]

There are a couple of purple ones

[pure zinc]

Oh

[polar bay]

Someone say hawk?

Hawk tuah

[obtuse reef]

The ones I’m familiar with are the (ironically named) Emperor’s Children, those guys fell to Chaos

Their primarch is an asshole

[inner copper]

https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Hawk_Lords

As I was thinking about painting some up again… quite liking the look of these Plague Marines, not sure when they were released but they look like a nice one to paint up

[obtuse reef]

The really impressive human faction are the Astra Militarum. They’re the basic soldiers, the ones that the marines kinda just mow down. They’re impressive because they face down unholy horrors with nothing but fancy flashlights and a Commisar breathing down their neck

That feeling when mercs just won't stop seeing you try to use a computer, so you send them all to sleep

this is unironically double

what most my friends invested

hell yin tiger and trueending boss was a week worth of time alone....

[dry copper]

That look the npc give you after you kill dozens of storm troopers

[charred badge]

Hey, they're in indefinite stasis until someone able to move comes along and presses their reset switch

Amusingly, their weaponry clones into their hands like a TF2 character

[austere lance]

I wish Age of Mythology Retold multiplayer wasn't bugged, it crashes every 20 minutes for everyone except the host

[dry copper]

The coolest explosion I've seen in a game

[marble idol]

I've played racing games that don't have this much motion blur.

Also: https://youtu.be/HTtGQI0-_rs

(actual part of the gameplay, not just some eye-candy bullshit that happens in the background of a cutscene)

[dry copper]

Granted seeing it in action was much more impressive

I really over prepared for that battle, too

I was able to do insane amounts of dmg

[marble idol]

https://tenor.com/view/doubt-press-x-la-noire-meme-x-button-gif-19259237

[restive tusk]

hmm space explosions 😋

[marble idol]

How does that work again? There's no air in space.

[dry copper]

Tell that to stars

[marble idol]

🤔

[restive tusk]

it works the same, except you'd never see such great visual effects from the shockwave

space movies and games would be pretty dull without those explosions though

[dry copper]

YOU TELL THEM, DIANA!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eW1ah2ah0o

[restive tusk]

who's Diana? lol

[dry copper]

That's Diana.

Physics Girl

[restive tusk]

oh nice to meet her

[dry copper]

Yeah. She's currently disabled due to long-covid

She almost died

[restive tusk]

fck so many ppl got long term stuff

[dry copper]

Still a long road to recovery. She's bedridden

[restive tusk]

Im lucky to have had covid twice and still doing ok

[dry copper]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/WDUNqYXWbMg

ME/CFS is what hit her hardest

https://www.cdc.gov/me-cfs/about/index.html

No known cause
No known cure

That should terrify people

[restive tusk]

in other words not enough research :/

[dry copper]

So I took my time and got a ton of stuff in star wars outlaws...I finished the story after about 40 hours.

I'm sure it could've been finished a lot sooner, but I was exploring

I wouldn't value the game over $60 based on how much content it actually has.

I also did not appreciate the way the game locks content behind skills you learn only after most of the main story is completed.

As someone that likes to collect things, finding content I couldn't get even if I wanted to, forcing me to return to places I'd already discovered long ago a dozen or more hours later, really drew me out of the immersion

Made the game feel like a chore

[marble idol]

True, but Star Wars is pretty much just 100% special effects and not much else.

That was the case before Ubisoft got their grubby hands on it.

[dry copper]

Remember when letters flew through space?

https://tenor.com/view/apsia-nationstates-star-wars-subbieman-jimwe-johna-gif-22155513

[restive tusk]

would you value it at 30

I'll wait for the 60% off. have heard enough to kill my hype

[dry copper]

I'd value it at $59 or less.

[restive tusk]

59 for me has to really be top tier

[dry copper]

and that's only if you like to explore

[restive tusk]

im frugal

[dry copper]

The game has a bajillion star wars easter eggs in it

[restive tusk]

It's the so far seemingly lack of "open world activities" that makes me hesitant

[dry copper]

They really went out of their way to tuck in star wars content everywhere they could to find

Open world activities?

Depending on how pissed off you make syndicates, there is a varying amount of open world activity

[restive tusk]

Im sure it's nice for that.
But it's a game im not particularly looking forward to play just for story or Star wars content.
I had really been hoping for great Open world game that i could play far beyond guided story line

[dry copper]

Though not a lot of variety

[restive tusk]

it's a shame :(

[dry copper]

Open world activity is basically: Climbing puzzles, killing people, following clues

It's not like skyrim where the world is alive with a ton of weird shit going on

[restive tusk]

pseudo.
they could have expanded looting and crafting, customizing, usage of gadgets...

[dry copper]

They could've created random encounters easily

Instead, they shoved all of the encounters into cantinas and bars

[restive tusk]

that too. But like just throw me a bone and keep me busy with game assets, inventory and shit

bamboozle me at least, or try

I think these large companies need to stop making Open World just for the sake of marketing, and then having it not really be an open world in any way.

[dry copper]

I was amused at the cantina that han was in...Some of the commentary coming from patrons around the seat where he shot greedo from

I can't even tell you how many times I've gone out of the map not even trying

[restive tusk]

Or like adding survival and craft elements only semy cooked, in games where they dont belong, just because those genres had become popular

[dry copper]

When you go out of map in space, you get 10 seconds to get back in or it kills you

On the ground you are instantly teleported

Keep in mind in space npc can fly off the map

It's frustrating when you're fighting a giant ship that flies out of the map

You wasted all that time and effort

Then you get on your speeder on the ground and decide to hop up on rocks since one of your skills lets you more easily ramp shit....

The game teleports you down like you were climbing the furniture

[restive tusk]

stahp trying to sell me the game so hard...

60 % off it will be

[dry copper]

Your character has a deadpan face the entire game.

It's like they hired Andromeda artists to make her face

The game forces you to stealth so much....:(

The amount of forced stealth is actually kind of depressing. Especially considering how much of a point they tried to make it that stealth was an option for so much of the game.

Nightingale are really pushing that new build to try and get more players

Hype

I hope it's good

I tried the demo and it seemed promising but performance/optimization wasn't finished yet

[marble idol]

Very promising indeed. || /s ||

How many franchises does Nacon have to screw up before people take a hint, smh.

This one does'nt even look good, I've seen mobile games with more engaging gameplay.

It's like it took all the surface-level features of TDU and decided to call it a day.

Sorry, I meant TDU2, the one that bankrupted Atari for a 2nd time.

And nearly bankrupted the developer.

[rose night]

@swift gust i loved the music from the game though. some of my favorite video game music of all time, honestly.

@swift gust "we were put on this Earth, put here to feel joy." that's one of my favorites. I also like to listen to the instrumentality of Rain of Brass Petals

[restive tusk]

I'm gonna have to wait for the 50 series release for this one. 😄
But those graphics look amazing

[restive tusk]

May also want to double check your reviews filter setting for a better picture btw

I'm not surprised with the reviews so far. hopefully the release will fix it up a bit

[marble idol]

What would that accomplish?

[marble idol]

These are reviews from peoplew who pre-ordered, despite the fact that the game looked mid at best. You think the ones that didn't will be more forgiving?

[restive tusk]

probably will bring it to a wider audience and dissolve reviews further.
I'm more hoping that it can receive updates and fix some of the issues described

[marble idol]

I'd rather it flop to discourage this kind of business model in the future, but hey, that's just me.

[restive tusk]

I don't think investors will look at a game flopping as a whole as a sign to change the Advanced access model we've seen recently

[inland oasis]

Business model? They make a game and sell it. What is to be discouraged?

[restive tusk]

Im afraid that's up to comsumers and streamers to stop caving in the fomo

[inland oasis]

Is it riddled with mtx?

[restive tusk]

I was assuming they are talking about the advance access thingy

[marble idol]

Live service shovelware.

[restive tusk]

Look at how much it sold already pre release.
It might already be past flopping

[marble idol]

This too.

But like you said, that won't be affected by this.

[restive tusk]

We can keep making memes, criticizing and doing bad reviews on games.
But if they still sell and bring the ROI they expected, they're not flopping

[marble idol]

No need to help them though.

[inland oasis]

It’s an unwinnable fight to get a majority of people to not buy something. It takes SERIOUS reputational damage to do that

[restive tusk]

Up to consumer decision.
What really matters in the end is your enjoyment of a game you purchased.
Even if that game could have been more or better

[marble idol]

Seems to me like the majority of people who bought it so far don't enjoy it. And and this isn'ty the jaded crowd we're talking about.

Which is fine, the proble is the same people will pre-order the next half-assed AAAA game that comes out as well.

So not only they're not enjoying it, they're also actively creating more demand for stuff they won't enjoy.

[inland oasis]

But at the same the time choice to NOT refund if they think it’s bad isn’t the developers fault

I’m guilty of disliking something just moving on rather than refunding lol

[marble idol]

^

[inland oasis]

So you hope that the product fails because of the players own fault?

[marble idol]

?

You're acting like the game is a masterpiece.

[inland oasis]

It ain’t even out

[marble idol]

I'm hoping it fails because it sucks, first and foremost.

I'm sure the whales won't care if it flops or not, they'll just move on to the next thing as I said before.

The next Concord.

looking for gaming laptop as a comparison to buying a steam deck to plug into a 4k monitor

😂

@shadow tartan how much pundage should i put into a gaming laptop...like what is the minimum i should spend

[charred badge]

Update on DE "stealth"
I beat the boss, and all the soldiers cleared out.
Left their equipment on the ground, though.
They're not very good soldiers.

[shadow tartan]

@quaint escarp @coarse swift or @finite hazel may be better to ask

[silver sparrow]

cool cool thanks

[shadow tartan]

Wouldn't want to misinform people now would I

[quaint escarp]

does it have to be a gaming laptop

[silver sparrow]

i was thinking about a steam deck but uncertain if it will play through a 32 inch 4k monitor

[quaint escarp]

$1k to $2k usd if you want it to last decently long

[quaint escarp]

that would be a $2k laptop then

[fallen notch]

If you want to use a monitor, why do you want a laptop at all?

[quaint escarp]

ur not playing at 4k on a gaming laptop unless u go high end

u would need to settle for 1440p

[silver sparrow]

i want to limit the upgradeability...i know that sounds counterintuitive

[silver sparrow]

hm
wonder what my ps5 plays at

says 4k

(game dependent)

[silver sparrow]

hm ok

[quaint escarp]

4k at 30fps is doable

[silver sparrow]

so a steam deck performance will never translate higher than 800p i guess?

[quaint escarp]

but its a gaming laptop so ur going to like need a 4070 4080 etc or something

[silver sparrow]

i'm looking at 4050s :/

in this article at least

[quaint escarp]

do u mind playing on everything at low

[fallen notch]

I'd think higher settings and lower resolution would look nicer than higher resolution lower settings

[quaint escarp]

u should look at a rog ally

one of the windows handhelds

[silver sparrow]

kinda yeah
this is why i'm a console gamer
but satisfactory is not on console yet plus it sounds like it plays better on kbm

i just really chafe at the sucker hole of interminable hardware upgrades

[mental rose]

Can agree. It takes a lot of research and browsing on the web to build a PC.
I'm lucky that I have a community with nerds who basically post parts lists for various budgets.

Or you could buy a prebuilt desktop if you're lazy.

[quaint escarp]

rog ally x recently launched and is $800

its prob the best in the market in terms of performance

[silver sparrow]

taking a look thx

[quaint escarp]

Those guys are just space marines on more steroids

A lot more steroids

[inner copper]

I bought it on the switch a couple days ago as the price was very good

Ohhh SM2 is on GFN… maybe I can play too

[shadow tartan]

Ooooo

[inner copper]

It looks pretty good to be honest

At least from the couple gameplay vids I watched

[quaint escarp]

best make sure u arent sharing with cheaters

[inland oasis]

lol isnt the first excuse from a cheater usually "It was someone on my account!" xD

thats to be expected imo

[quaint escarp]

its not account sharing tho

its sharing the game from thr library

[inland oasis]

ive seen games ban whole squads cuz ONE of them were cheating.

[shadow tartan]

That old chestnut eh

[inland oasis]

sharing an account; sharing the license of a game on that account with someone else same thing to me

even if diff accounts

[shadow tartan]

Don't let people touch your precious stuff

[inland oasis]

technically by law when u buy a game or movie only YOU are legally supposed to be watching it. its just completely unenforcable rly

[shadow tartan]

Family Jewels

[quaint escarp]

not saying its a bad thing, cheaters would abuse the system if they were allowed to constantly play on someone elses license

[shadow tartan]

Anyone fancy trying some co-op SM2
499MK

[coarse swift]

Sure lemme get right on that

[tame cairn]

"i love bloodborne!"

[obtuse reef]

Usually that’s because the squad members are suspected of boosting, which is intentionally playing (or not kicking) with a cheater in order to gain a competitive advantage

I see it a lot in CS and TF2

[inland oasis]

even in situations where players were unaware they were playing with cheaters too. granted not game bans, on dayz ive seen it quite often

but thats just manual admin server bans

[obtuse reef]

The reason Valve games have a big cheater problem is because they don’t ban players individually, they operate in ban waves

It (supposedly) makes it harder for cheat devs to constantly update cheats to get around VAC

[inland oasis]

In theory the less you put out, the less can be reverse engineered

But cheating always a cat mouse game

[obtuse reef]

I played with a couple of cheating scouts in TF2 the other day, one of them had another game ban on his account but he claimed that it wasn’t for cheating

Like getting banned for toxicity or something else makes you look any better

Although, they were scout mains. I find TF2 players usually have personalities matching with whatever class they main

Scout is portrayed as a cocky and rude person who pretends to be better than he is. Guess what scout mains are like

It’s a little unnerving how well you can judge a TF2 player’s personality based purely on what class they play the most

They uh, sometimes let the (literal) bloodlust get too strong and turn into semi-feral space vampires 😆

[mental rose]

And those that do succumb to it, start to see everyone around them as the archtraitor, Horus. (It was he who killed Sanguinius, their Primarch)

Oooo, is that how it works now? I've only read some Horus Heresy books about them, haven't read any of their 40k stuff

[idle saffron]

"And those that do succumb to it, start to see everyone around them as the archtraitor, Horus. (It was he who killed Sanguinius, their Primarch)"
That's the problem, lol

They fight completely mute, no battle cries, no orders thrown around. Nothing

[inland oasis]

That’s rare

In a world with foot thick armor

[austere lance]

They say orders, just over incredibly locked vox channels

So to the enemy it looks like they're not communicating at all

[inland oasis]

Is that all of them? I coulda sworn I read something about some just taking a vow of silence. But ider if that’s this legion

[shadow tartan]

So glad you can do the whole campaign co-op

[inland oasis]

There’s so much to so easily mix things up lmao

[shadow tartan]

Makes all the difference

[inland oasis]

I will become my own legion

Adeptus solotas

[austere lance]

You're gonna need that co-op in some missions, cuz your bot squad mates are complete morons 🤣

[shadow tartan]

But AI is taking over

[austere lance]

Make a Buzz Lightyear Space Marine like I saw someone else do, lol

[shadow tartan]

Ra Ra Ra Brutha

[shadow tartan]

I kinda want to be Dora The Destroyer

[inland oasis]

Space marine Metroid prime

[dry copper]

I don't think Once Human is doing well

They're holding contests for players to play the game

"play the game and enter to win" sort of shit

[obtuse reef]

Apparently Boltgun (that DOOM-style 40k game) takes place shortly after the first Space Marine game

[coarse swift]

Steroid Primed

[austere lance]

Boltgun is fun, it's hard as fuck tho

[inland oasis]

Perfect

[mental rose]

And the protag is 40k's version of Doom Slayer, basically. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSrdmYubl0A

[obtuse reef]

The main character of Boltgun, Malum Caedo is apparently quite the badass

His name translates literally to something along the lines of “Killer of Evil” (or some sort of similar phrase)

[shadow tartan]

?

Show us Bumbles

Mumboclaat

https://youtu.be/m6xFOxonYy0

[obtuse reef]

I mean, I didn’t make up the name

That was probably the developers

[shadow tartan]

Yeah that's for them

Fucking made up name

[dry copper]

https://tenor.com/view/dustin-hoffman-peaking-dick-tracy-gif-10558005610549261710

[mental rose]

It's apparently latin, and literal translation is "I kill evil"
Also the fact it sounds high gothic, which fits the setting.

[obtuse reef]

In any case, that marine took down several greater demons, entire squads of traitor marines, and essentially an entire chaos incursion with nothing but some funky guns and sheer spite for Chaos

[austere lance]

He should be a Black Templar

[modern panther]

hey is this a bad time?

[austere lance]

https://youtu.be/3hx9d45i1Gs?si=FUeppdhnu5I33f_H

[obtuse reef]

It is not

[modern panther]

what's y'alls favorite automatic weapon in fnv?

[obtuse reef]

I’ve seen that

[modern panther]

I haven't found any aside from a .45 smg

[mental rose]

Bozar 😁

[modern panther]

bozar?

[mental rose]

https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Bozar_(GRA)

[obtuse reef]

The guy’s probably been blessed by Khorne, since any other marine would be almost immediately killed

[mental rose]

With the DLC, can add Helbrutes to that list. 😉
aka. chaos dreadnoughts

[obtuse reef]

My question is: when are we going to get a game that lets us play as a dreadnought

[tame cairn]

just the plain carbine tbh

assault carbine

[modern panther]

hmm

[obtuse reef]

We’ve got games that let you play as a space marine, games that let you play as guardsmen, rogue traders, fleet commanders and even Orks, and I’m pretty sure there was a game that let you play as a titan, but where’s the game that lets you play as a dreadnought?

[mental rose]

And one where you play as a Tau.

[obtuse reef]

Yeah, that one too

[dry copper]

Elite Dangerous?

[obtuse reef]

I’m talking about the 40k dreadnoughts, the walking coffins with miniguns

[dry copper]

I like the way capital ships move in ED

[balmy plaza]

Finishing the campaign tonight!

[austere lance]

As you should

I beat it a couple days ago and now I'm leveling my Sniper in Operations

[balmy plaza]

It's a little bit short but every mission so far has been an absolute banger so I can't complain

How's the replayability in the operations?

[austere lance]

Every difficulty option adds more boss fights and stronger enemies, and collectibles don't spawn in the same places for each run. So it's pretty fun to replay em imo

[balmy plaza]

Ah that's pretty neat

[obtuse reef]

Man, I need to replay Ultrakill on a higher difficulty, but I hate the Greed and Wrath layers (which are essentially just stages). The Greed layer is a desert area that introduces an enemy that stops enemies from bleeding, so you can’t heal from them. The Wrath layer has an awful water animation that is so disorienting

[balmy plaza]

The operations are what the B team get up to, right?

[orchid fox]

ok beat wukong ng+2

that final fight took

WAY too fucking long

been at it for like 3h

[dry copper]

Now, either that new racing game is awesome or it's horrible. @primal loom has said NOTHING on it.

[orchid fox]

I remember working with Joe and him making the original on the side back in 2018.
Glad it's on other platforms now.

[orchid fox]

geniounly

the fuck happened

[upper glade]

tl;dr spinoff deal for games component fell through, staff of gaming component resigned as a result

Company's trying to focus more on multimedia, staff just wanted to keep working on games

[orchid fox]

https://tenor.com/bWEVi.gif

u fucking wat

[upper glade]

Since noncompetes are virtually unenforcable, I guess they decided to spin themselves off. XD

[winter yew]

They decided they dont like money enough to do things they rather not good for them

Also go bills

[shadow tartan]

Replaceable🤣

Actually I think they already got replaced this week, for the most part

[orchid fox]

i mean i dont give a fuck on stock on whatever devs is on a good alignment or bad alignment tbh @shadow tartan

yes they stocks may be eh

[shadow tartan]

That's not stock

[orchid fox]

ok its fucking. 3am and i cant think context lol

i was heading to bed til i saw that

[shadow tartan]

👍

[orchid fox]

my apoologiez 😅

but im off to bed

[shadow tartan]

No need

[orchid fox]

thats how long each employee lasts or something?

[shadow tartan]

Yeah staff headcount, it's not a big company

And replacements will happen pretty quick

[winter yew]

They all got replaced already yeah but still newsworthy

[shadow tartan]

Everything is newsworthy to you 😉

[winter yew]

Hey can you source that when most news I share is various games on sale lol

[shadow tartan]

I'm just a prick remember, the "server bastard" as I've been aptly named

[dry copper]

There is no way they replaced the entire Annapurna team inside of hours

[shadow tartan]

Just playing my part

[winter yew]

Damn James Cook 49 yard td

[shadow tartan]

Mate I told you earlier this happened a week ago

[quaint escarp]

theres more branches

[dry copper]

The collapse did?

[shadow tartan]

Dude left a week ago, couple more a day later

They got a founder back yada yada

The rest is replaceable, there's enough people that have been affected by layoffs to replace them and probably do a better job than people that throw their toys out the pram

[dry copper]

The way that company folded, you'd have thought Ellen Degeneres was running it

[shadow tartan]

Mate I've been telling you for years that this kinda shit happens, it's just that there are more people to write stories than there are stories now

It just used to happen and people got on with it

Now it's just more topical

[winter yew]

I think it's silly to just quit and go home but I also respect their hustle and commitment to what they want

[dry copper]

I hate nothing burgers in the news

[dry copper]

Everyone has their principles.

[shadow tartan]

I have zero respect for anyone that leaves developers in the lurch

Because they all spout a load of shit when the camera is on them

Evidently they don't care and developers deserve people in publishing that do

[dry copper]

I think developers should have more say in whether the shit they create gets made into a TV show and if it does, what the vision is going to be.

[shadow tartan]

Depends on the contract, never sign your baby away

Most IPs the IP owners have a lot of say

[dry copper]

and if you do, be prepared to walk away

[winter yew]

Why leave money on the table just for someone else to come take it tho too

[shadow tartan]

Wdym

[winter yew]

Expression wise not literally

[dry copper]

That expression doesn't apply

[winter yew]

There's no money on a table rn atleast I hope not

[dry copper]

I wonder how many of the developers tanked their assets on current projects

It's not like their supervisors would rat them out if they had

[shadow tartan]

?

Tanked assets?

[dry copper]

Assets developed for projects, like graphics and software

[shadow tartan]

Internal or external?

[dry copper]

Internal

IGN is already starting the spin stories to shit on the former Annapurna team

[shadow tartan]

Told you bruv

Too predictable

[austere lance]

Yee

[primal loom]

Lol, I was busy today - I'll be playing tomorrow though

[dry copper]

It's weird. I finished the star wars game and haven't played another game since...

The game kinda disappointed me...to the point I'm not having fun gaming

The ending was piss warm bullshit

I've been less predictability in falling down a flight of stairs

[winter yew]

Play a passion project like world of final fantasy or a indie

[shadow tartan]

That also depends on what's written, if you get caught taking assets then you can get sued but there are loopholes.
Not gonna say too much because it could be misconstrued.

[dry copper]

Yeah....You're not Michael Kirkbride

That man made the entire Elder Scrolls franchise his bitch

[shadow tartan]

Yeah he made a lot, I've made other stuff but I don't spread that around because it's my bread.

[dry copper]

I wonder how much of the lore was in his head and how much he just ripped off Lord of the Rings

[shadow tartan]

@dry copper this is something kinda related to the same subject

This is Joe's IP

[dry copper]

No idea who joe is

[shadow tartan]

Joe and I worked for Nitrome some years ago and we published his first game

[dry copper]

God I hate these asian adverts for anime games

[shadow tartan]

The publisher gets a cut of revenue from ads because they have good ad providers and the connections to get store features and stuff like that

But Joe owns the IP

[coarse swift]

stop playing them then

the adverts were made for you

[dry copper]

This game is tripping balls.....

[shadow tartan]

Since Nitrome has kinda gone downhill, Joe has found a new publisher

[obtuse reef]

nah, YouTube and other platforms just shove em down your throat regardless

[coarse swift]

I've seen actual NSFW on these Youtube ads before

fucking disgusting

[dry copper]

It's like someone forced mega man into a non-consentual three way relationship with super metroid and sonic the hedgehog
