But it can try to be 😂😭

[dry copper]

and in trying, it's like most of the AC games....

Which makes it very assassin creedy

[summer elm]

Yeah lol

You can double jump or charge jump

[inland oasis]

I can do both ^_^ gotta love mods that let you buy extra cyberware slots

[summer elm]

Yep mods is good

[inland oasis]

I have so many 😂😅

[summer elm]

The dev support the player in terms of mods

Which is cool

Port Royale 2.
As old as a pirate game can be, I can't find any modern game with naval combat as good as the one from this game.

[winter yew]

Ac black flag

[brave trail]

???
It is a top view fights with wind management and most fights are 1 vs 5.
The only common point with AC fights is "pirate"

But if you have another pick, I am interested

[winter yew]

You got me there but it's the best modern take on a pirate game I seen lol

Well

Sorry I got distracted

Under the jolly Rodger is a good top down ish pirate game, but it's janky

[brave trail]

Managing "RTS-like" a fight seems the best way to properly time the attack and movement, I find TPS view too narrow for that. Top view is better in my opinion but rarer too this last decade.

They changed the name from under the jolly rogger to tempest I guess lol

[brave trail]

He has potential but the fights seems slow and the opponents very static

[winter yew]

Yeah it's definitely not triple a gaming, but only 13 bucks for all its content

[brave trail]

Thanks for the advice, I will look further into this one anyway. If you have the opportunity, test Port Royale 2, you will understand what I mean about speedy and more strategic naval fight.

[winter yew]

I was a fan of sids pirates myself back in the day

[brave trail]

It is really sad the newly released port royale 4 has turn-based fights

[winter yew]

Thats often how it goes, real time with pause rpgs shifted back into turn based when rtwp was supposed to be the upgrade

[brave trail]

And the depth mechanic seems to tend to be reduced too to make games more casual.
At least I guess it gives the more interesting game more spotlight (if they manage to get any at all)

[austere lance]

I still have it, lol. Played it again this year, iirc 😆

[winter yew]

Hell yean

[brave trail]

Just bought Port Royale 2 on Steam myself. My old CD is now unplayable on Windows 11.
Screen resolution is still a mess (best resolution is locked at 1024x768).

@orchid fox I just love how the devs seem to get bored and add some crazy new things to the game.
Highlights to date:
Space jetpack combat
Ubisoft maps
Pvp mode
Ratchet & Clank hoverboards
Rock Band
Guns of Icarus
Linear action stealth
Soulsbourne roguelite

Now whatever 1999 will be. (I've been avoiding content/hype announcements)

Oh, I forgot about the arcade games that are login Easter eggs and in-game modes with leaderboards

[carmine zephyr]

Warframe?

[charred badge]

Yeah. #1075798777060933672

Their music director keeps playing with genres and knocking it out of the park, too

[carmine zephyr]

Absolutely was just listening to some of the new stuff yesterday since I couldn't make it to the devstream

All these content drops since Whispers in the Wall have had phenomenal music

I also find it a bit funny since I just came from the warframe community discord to check out whatevers going on in this server and the first thing I see is more warframe

[charred badge]

The duology of We All Lift Together and For Narmer is fantastic

[carmine zephyr]

One of my recent favorites is the Lotus Eaters track mirroring This is What you are

Spent a couple minutes just sitting there appreciating it before moving on

[charred badge]

Niice

[orchid fox]

we gotm a thread

but yes its kinda nuts

[orchid fox]

without details
devs stated its the biggest post content drop of 11 years today and quest itself is 10-20h cinematicc

so enjoy

AS FUCK TONS IN EVERY FIELD IS GETTING ADDED

to not spoil i cannot mention anythiung

[carmine zephyr]

Where did you get this about 10-20h cinematics?

I mostly assumed it would be at most about two hours more akin to the recent trend of quests being "intro tutorials" to their various areas and factions

[charred badge]

"10-20 hours, and cinematic" is what I read

[carmine zephyr]

Although I did the math with someone and apparently DE wrote enough dialogue for the dating system thing to almost perfectly fit in the Fellowship of the Ring

[charred badge]

Harrow was long

New war, too

[carmine zephyr]

New war was 3 hours iirc?

Its been too many years since Chains of Harrow for me to remember much besides initially being terrified then just cheesing the final part of it with specters

[charred badge]

If it's a quest we can progress without locking in, 10-20 is cool with me

[carmine zephyr]

Yep

I hope the 1999 grind isn't too tedious

[mental rose]

2 novels worth of words or smth

[carmine zephyr]

Don't even know if I am going to interact with the system but maybe

if the lore is cool enough which I have yet to decide if I care about the 1999 lore much anyway

[charred badge]

I'm mostly avoiding things so I can enjoy impressions personally

And with their habit of being overambitious and needing to delay things, I wouldn't want to get too excited

[mental rose]

I like the fact they made an "indirect" PvPvE mode that also gives conclave standing.
The Face Off mode.

[charred badge]

Yeah. Maybe I'll finally grind out the skins

I don't hate conclave like some people do, but I definitely feel the lack of a bots or practice mode

[dry copper]

That game was fun with a group

[tame cairn]

i bet, im just doing solo

like always lol

[dry copper]

I played it through with a 10 person server. We always had a consistent lot of at least 4

[tame cairn]

thats sweet

[dry copper]

I built a welcome center for new players to get an easier first start.

Basically near end game all you have left to do is gather shit for no real benefit but helping others.

I won't spoil it but there are some really cool mounts later on

[tame cairn]

I'm still pretty early, i have explored a good bit to get flint though.

I went to that catacomb thing and got deeestroyed

[mental rose]

Game?

[tame cairn]

high level stuff there

[charred badge]

Ant bully

[tame cairn]

Smalland: Survive the Wilds

[mental rose]

Ah

[tame cairn]

fun game so far

I shouldve recorded it but I tried to glide to this one area and it said there's a flying creature that will attack me or something like that.

[dry copper]

You'll eventually need to gather tons of nails. Tip: Nails and Bottlecaps spawn near the beach shores of rivers

[tame cairn]

I basically said "eh, it can't be that bad" and got scooped up midair

I saw that there were catapults

I want to make multiple across the treetops lol.

[dry copper]

That bird will be a problem for like half the narrative of the game...and then a surprising boon.

[tame cairn]

okay well

the wood spikes are good in theory.

[dry copper]

You can make as many bases as you want but only one can be on the top of a tree. Tree tops are reserved for instanced bases and they carry over from server to server.

[tame cairn]

until your bee flys into it and destroys all of them while it takes no damage.

[dry copper]

You can make a base anywhere though like on a branch of the trees, and the only disadvantage is it can not be carried over to another server.

[tame cairn]

Ahh

makes sense

[orchid fox]

no it was said on stream afaik not even asumption

[orchid fox]

and no i mean cinematic itself aka quest

afaik it was by rebecca herself on stream or devshort

i barely watch ytbers bar setupås

wf wise

[dry copper]

What game?

[orchid fox]

warframe.

im pretty sure rebecca stated it on a devshort or desvtream not even asumption.

[carmine zephyr]

Yep can't wait to try it ironically enough I was a huge Gambit fan in destiny 2 and im grabbing my Gambit buddy and trying it with him

Time to completely break the balancing and careful planning

[dry copper]

I like Rebecca's hair. My hair is red but it turned brown over the years.

[orchid fox]

its not me pulling a number out of my ass when it comes to content cadence i only ever listen to devs excluysively

[dry copper]

Who is the community support person with red hair...Is that rebecca?

I thought it was.

[orchid fox]

taylor afaik

then thertes pablo and shame on u if ui dont know the jesus of balancing xd

he did nezha then they just let the man cook since

[dry copper]

I especially like how many original workers are still there at Digital Extremes

It adds some measure of security as a consumer that the business is strong

[orchid fox]

im dealing 100k double redcrits and i only have 10+ decrees what the fuck.

[charred badge]

I mean, it's Warframe

[inland oasis]

I always found that kinda the fun part, when you finally find something that feels absurdly broken

Then again I suck at builds so any help it gives me I’ll take 😅

[elder aspen]

anyone a monster hunter player? been playing since Tri

[charred badge]

Yup! Been a long term casual player since Freedom

[elder aspen]

Let's goooo

[charred badge]

It's been a personal console seller for most of my run

I even imported 2ndG

[elder aspen]

Oh nice!!

[charred badge]

Back before every G release came west

[elder aspen]

So you've been in the franchise a good deal longer

cool to see

I started with Tri, didnt get to play 3U
I lost my 3ds shortly after I beat seltas in 4U
got back into the franchise with world and rise

I will be there for wilds

[charred badge]

Yeah. I was one of the testers for the teamHGG translation patches

[elder aspen]

That's incredibly cool

[charred badge]

Seltas was a fun new fight, and seltas queen was a fantastic twist

Take a weaker boss, and make it an add/buff for a bigger boss. Implemented well, too

[elder aspen]

From what Ive heard, it's pretty cool

I'm very hyped for wilds after I played the open beta. They made my main weapon stronger

[charred badge]

If you ever want to try Unite/2ndG, someone from those days has been working on a QoL/upgrade patch and has a release available

[elder aspen]

I may check it out!

[charred badge]

https://mholdschool.com/viewtopic.php?t=32

[mental rose]

I took a leap-of-faith with World, because I was unsure if MH was my kind of game genre.
Was pleasantly surprised.

[elder aspen]

thank you!

[mental rose]

I never got to play the OGs on PS2 and I guess 3(?)

[charred badge]

The MH team has been able to consistently pull off fair-feeling challenging combat. As long as they don't fall down the CoD/Pokemon hole, I'll be staying a fan

Maintaining two "branches" of the series is a good move, too.
The more fast-action ones like Rise, and the slower console experiences like World

[elder aspen]

from what I've seen in the wilds beta, they are not going down that path.
it's quite tough, especially when I tried soloing rey dau

[charred badge]

Used to be portable vs console teams, but I guess it's getting interesting

Which way does Wilds swing?

I didn't want to try the beta and hype myself up

[elder aspen]

It's tough, I don't feel the fast pace that was present with rise

[charred badge]

It's "console team" turn, so that makes sense

[elder aspen]

Focus mode is incredibly good as a mechanic and how it's incorporated

I play on pc,

[mental rose]

How was the performance on Wilds, actually?
I was little concerned since Capcom is using RE-engine for it and we all know the performance of DD2.

ie. feels like it's not suited for true open-world

[elder aspen]

My pc is quite beefy, it ran fine. I only saw one polygon entity in my time playing. It was one of the people in my party

[mental rose]

That's some relief, at least

[elder aspen]

It's not open world in the same way that, say, breath of the wild is
there's still set maps with areas like in world
they do feel more open, and I have a feeling the maps will be a bit more interconnected? but you can't just go everywhere

[mental rose]

I have a 3090, but my CPU's getting kinda old and I got 16gb RAM

[mental rose]

Ah, so not like Dragon's Dogma 2

[charred badge]

4U was the slower 3ds one, with Generations being the "portable" one

[charred badge]

Big connected maps open world is usually better, so that's positive?

[elder aspen]

Yea

[carmine zephyr]

You might be thinking of Megan

[elder aspen]

Combat wise, I have not heard a single bad thing about the changes made to any weapon

It seems like the devs took a lot of feedback from world

[carmine zephyr]

Big monster hunter although I’m still iffy on insect glaive in Wilds

[elder aspen]

I'm an insect glaive main, elaborate.

[mental rose]

main here. 😁

[carmine zephyr]

Charge blade from the beta was awesome though

[carmine zephyr]

You know the extended aerial stuff in world

[elder aspen]

Yep

[carmine zephyr]

If you keep hitting heavies in the air you get launched back up

Yeah they got rid of it

Bigger focus on charged attacks and ground combos with some air moves

[mental rose]

So you could infinitely "juggle" yourself? That sounds busted.

[carmine zephyr]

Gathering all the extracts is also more important now and your bit damage move jumps you in the air you do a spin with a terrible hitbox and use all of your extracts now iirc

[carmine zephyr]

It was only up till like 3 times ish

And the damage wasn’t great

[mental rose]

Ah

[carmine zephyr]

It was more of a fun thing to do to reposition and stuff and allow you to do a dive on the monster

[charred badge]

Did they make it easier to nail the full combo?

[elder aspen]

I honestly don't mind not having as many arial attacks. I know a lot of IG mains spam that for a mount. Now when you vault in wilds to try getting a mount, you have to be more strategic.
Focus mode complements the IG very well, if you use it while attacking any part of the monster, your kinsect collects that buff from what you just hit, streamlining obtaining them.

[charred badge]

I swear, landing the full thing is such a rare dopamine rush

[carmine zephyr]

Harder if anything but in a good way

[elder aspen]

I could do that, and there is also a special attack where you unleash your buffs in a sort of burst of energy. Like, the IG equivalent of the SAED.

[carmine zephyr]

Before you do the full SAED you do a normal AED first now but theirs a whole combo thing for both this time around

[charred badge]

That's the one, yeah.

[carmine zephyr]

And overcharging files for more damage and longer buffs is a good feature

[elder aspen]

You get rid of all of your buffs when you use this attack, so you need to do it carefully, especially when it's hard to get all 3 buffs from a monster
looking at you, rey dau

[carmine zephyr]

I don’t mind the larger focus on savage axe

I sir are we talking about charge blade here or if

[charred badge]

Both?

[elder aspen]

I thought we were talking about IG

[carmine zephyr]

I found it really hard to pull off on the smaller ones it basically never hit

And if it did almost no damage

[charred badge]

IG has a new finisher that uses up the bug buffs in a similar way, and charge blade got harder to land in a good way?

[carmine zephyr]

yep

Switch Axe also got some love it has a discharge combo now like some of the older games

[elder aspen]

I just kinda bullied monsters (besides rey dau) when i figured out how to use IG

[carmine zephyr]

Gunlance overall great no major complaints

[charred badge]

Niiice. Switch axe is my go-to "How do I play again?" Weapon

[elder aspen]

Hammer looked insane. I love it

[carmine zephyr]

Lance feels amazing love what they did with it

[elder aspen]

Bow is my new secondary for a reason. I like what they did with it

[charred badge]

Hammer was my Unite go-to.
Bullying garuga

[carmine zephyr]

I really like the new red gauge combo for long sword as someone who didn’t like it much before it just kind of feels even more overpowered than before

[dry copper]

Probably. I don't follow them much.

Confirmed. Megan is her.

She has some of the creepiest tumblr posts I've seen in a while

Literally like a dozen or so creep pictures of her gf I assume, sleeping

[obtuse reef]

How delightful

[dry copper]

Or maybe she's just mocking a colleague since some have digital extremes stuff in them

Like "so and so can sleep anywhere"...snap

[obtuse reef]

Both would be kind of weird

Well, I say “kind of”, but either one is very very weird

[dry copper]

So journalists are making videogames now?

[dry copper]

?

[marble idol]

Damn, it all makes sense all of a sudden.

[dry copper]

She's a writer. Journalists making video games? what?

[inland oasis]

former journalist, as well

[dry copper]

That's like saying former mathematician or former philosopher.

[inland oasis]

well its like that because I AM saying that

[dry copper]

lol

[inland oasis]

it says she was a former journalist also lol

[marble idol]

Also she's an influencer, which is even worse. I just remembered I saw here a few years ago, she was one of the low IQ YouTube channels hyping up Cyberpunk 2077.

[dry copper]

I'd hype up Cyberpunk 2077. That game was fun.

[inland oasis]

not at release :/

[dry copper]

eww

[inland oasis]

even i cant defend the game when it launched. no one can. but as for now. its great

[marble idol]

It's hardly a masterpiece now, but they were hyping it up before they even knew anything about it.

[dry copper]

Her step dad got terminal cancer. She took months off to take care of him until he died and couldn't return to work because of shame associated with the realization in 10 years of working the most time she could take off to be with her family was to see one die.

[marble idol]

https://youtu.be/omyoJ7onNrg

I think she's in this video.

[dry copper]

Did you watch that video?

The tposing is hilarious. I learned recently that was done to avoid the game crashing entirely in relation to a bug

I don't know the nature of the bug or the cause, but the work around was that equally stupid but at least not game breaking bug

[inland oasis]

t-pose or conflict that crashes the game lol yea i heard bout that

[dry copper]

I saw two snippets of Alanah in that video saying "I'm playing Cyberpunk 2077 tomorrow" and "I am excited"....

I have not seen any other comments in the video from her.

[marble idol]

About halfway.

Anyway I was going to bash God of War's writing but in all fairness it's probably a small army of Sony writers who worked on that.

[dry copper]

Plus it's all derivative bullshit ripped off ancient mythology. Super old writers who were so ashamed of their writing they didn't sign a name to it.

[dry copper]

Patrick Milis said they made Cyberpunks story shorter because they got complaints about The Witcher 3 having a story that was too long....

[marble idol]

I haven't finished the game but I'm betting they left out the best parts of norse mythology.

Like when Loki disguised himself as a woman to bang his brother.

[dry copper]

That's flat out bullshit. If I got complaints about my games story being too long, wouldn't respond by making the story shorter. I'd make it more compelling.

[inland oasis]

whoever complained about the witcher being too long is just a peon

i wanted MORE

[marble idol]

At least they addressed it. They've yet to address why they made the story shit.

[inland oasis]

THATS a masterpeice

[dry copper]

Add more gripping elements like character development for people around the main character with environmental changes

I loved Witcher 3

[inland oasis]

100%

[dry copper]

I played the shit out of that game and then some

[inland oasis]

i still play it

[marble idol]

Feels like most of the Cyberpunk 2077 writing efforts went into the side quests.

[dry copper]

I modded it so much that by the time I was finished playing it, Geralt could teleport like Ciri and Ciri had a beard.

[inland oasis]

ooo i havent modded mine yet 😄 lol. i have used a few cheats tho

simple stuff like no potion toxicity

[dry copper]

I used to work nights almost exclusively. My boss wanted me to do day shifts right after working night shifts...I was livid they'd even have the balls to ask

Because to me that meant they'd considered my schedule, what it was already like working nights virtually alone - and thought that was a reasonable request.

I'd tried it twice. It was havoc on my sleep.

That happened?!

That is fucking Hilarious

Especially after the lawsuit from Crytek against Cloud Imperium

cuz it was a mess lol

redengine was shitting itself

[dry copper]

Said what, it was going to come out with another game engine?

[tame cairn]

that the next witcher will be on UE5

[dry copper]

The comment you responded to is about Star Citizen

Oh

[tame cairn]

i meant to reply to "that happened?"

[dry copper]

Did I misinterpret that

[tame cairn]

probably

[dry copper]

I thought the comment was about Squadron coming out on UE5

I missed the tiny letters that it was about witcher

My bad

[tame cairn]

all good 🙏

[dry copper]

Here I am not five minutes into the flub with two tabs open full of legal documents on court cases reviving the old dead tale of crytek v cloud imperium

I was excited just to see Star Citizen cutting corners again

[tame cairn]

lol

that would be pretty crazy if they did

especially with all their flexing they do

[winter yew]

I notice Capcom has failed to port Starforce anywhere yet

Kinda dumb the other collections all sold well

[frigid yarrow]

nothing will ever reach Dead Space 2's feel...

[carmine zephyr]

2 is neat although I don't remember liking it as much as 1

[frigid yarrow]

personally i liked 2 more xD

[carmine zephyr]

Its been a loooooong time since I played 2 so time does funny things to the memory

Plus the recent make of 1 was excellent with many moments of "hold on I swear the original looked this good"

[frigid yarrow]

at the end of the day

both games have the BEST feature in all of gaming

Will the first 2 Infamous games ever receive remasters one day the first i played was First Light

[tame cairn]

i played them all recently

2 is easily the best but 1 is very nostalgic

i love suckerpunch

i need more sly games too

[feral gyro]

My keyboard broke

Yippee

The new one we bought didn't work so I have to rely on an older one which has some broken keys

[obtuse reef]

man, your computer is just falling apart

[feral gyro]

It really is

This keyboard is like 5 years old tbf

It had it coming

I have to use the old keyboard and the new one to press the keys that are broken in the old one

I feel unbelievably broke

[tranquil glen]

something something internet people making stupid bs conspiracies (good for them though not realy?) something something fluoride is like tooth decay decrease

[tranquil glen]

wait are these only on Xbox Pass Games?

and are u giving the codes?

[tranquil glen]

ah

[dry copper]

Overcooked, Dredge, Bounty Hunter and Tomb Raider are all keys for GOG

Why, you looking for them?

[tranquil glen]

am thinking of getting Dredge but Ive yet to make a GOG account nor download its stuf

[winter yew]

Not owning a gog account is a L tbh....

Dredge good I own it on switch

[pure zinc]

Killing floor is a game

[austere lance]

Killing Floor 2 is fun, I'm cautiously excited for the third one

[pure zinc]

I’m not tbh

Their treatment with the end content of killing floor 2 was horrible

And the third one looks like it’s gonna approach the “hero shooter” genre

G36c looks like it was animated by someone who just started animating

[tame cairn]

guys

im addicted to a mobile game

😭😭

its called soundmap

song collecting game

this is the only mobile game ive genuinely played the hell out of

[austere lance]

Metallica? 👀

[tame cairn]

it pulls from spotify

it has anyone and everyone

its basically pokemon go but with music

and you can pick stuff up in the car so thats way better

ive been collecting Life Of Agony

and Alice in Chains

almost done with AiC

few songs left, anyways though i love music so this game has me HOOKED

[marble idol]

Never played it but whenever I hear of Killing Floor 2 I think Payday 2 with zombies, so it's ironic that it seems to have suffered a similar fate with it's end of life content.

[austere lance]

Very similar look and vibe, lol

[marble idol]

And publisher tomfoolery, apparently.

[lethal hill]

guys i am doing a game similar to nms and starfield, with exploration and combat together. It is online and with other players. any suggestions?

[shadow tartan]

Elite Dangerous

[lethal hill]

yes it includes things from there but i want actual suggestions

[barren sparrow]

If you want someone to help you with preproduction that costs money 😛

[lethal hill]

nah im good

i js wanted friendly suggestions not greedy people like u

[barren sparrow]

here is a friendly suggestion, if you want to ask for advice then ask for advice with something specific. "I want to make a game with this and this in space any suggestions?" <- that show that you have no project and no idea for a project. What suggestions are you expecting? you provided no base to give you suggestions. What is this game going to be about? what the goal? Is it going to be a sandbox? Exploration based game or just with some exploration? etc etc

There is no base to suggest anything really, i can suggest that it should be multiplayer, I have no idea how you are going to do that. I suggest it should have a branching story with meaningful choices, I have no idea how that will tie into your project.

You see what I mean?

[lethal hill]

calm down bro

it doesnt take a genius to come up with a normal suggestion

[barren sparrow]

I am calm 😅

[lethal hill]

cuz nms sucks

im tryna make a better game

[barren sparrow]

good luck, I hope to see it come to life 🤞

[lethal hill]

thank you, i also didnt mean to sound rude i js had a stressful day with the programming. Im sorry if I offended you.

[barren sparrow]

all good 👌

[inland oasis]

all i can say is it needs exploration beyond belief. as a player i dont wanna ever be able to "expect" what enviroment or life im gonna encounter. i mean its space. so vast we cant even comprehend.

Secondly, an economy. whether its MP or SP. MP would make that alot tougher tho. but do-able.

lastly, i think alot of people would wanna go with the more realistic side of things for artstyle, but not SO complex it feels overwhelming and like work.

Most space games have either iterations of one or a couple but not all of them, or, just doesnt do it properly. what is needed is something that i dont think anyones gotten just right yet.

[lethal hill]

alr thanks

Excuse me, what? https://80.lv/articles/assassin-s-creed-shadows-to-feature-denuvo-mandatory-ubisoft-account-linking/

"To top it all off, Shadows' EULA also includes a provision that allows the game to monitor your PC's RAM to ensure you're not running any unauthorized programs like macros, cheats, or hacks,"

[dry copper]

Is that game online?

[dry copper]

I thought AC Shadows was single player

What the fuck do they care if people cheat

[mental rose]

It is! That's the weird thing here.

Well, it's most likely "always online" SP game

[dry copper]

Denuvo is going to be removed eventually to save money when shit starts sliding downhill, which will almost be guaranteed to start right from launch day now.

I can understand the need for a ubisoft account....

I don't know any ubisoft game on steam that doesn't already have that

I'm wholesale against games trying to prohibit individuals from cheating where they are single player games.

I can understand completely where online elements are a concern, but not single player.

AC Shadows gonna be a hard pass for me.

[barren sparrow]

I haven't touched anything Ubisoft since I bought Rocksmith 2 or so years ago to play guitar a bit

If i knew it was from ubisoft I wouldn't have bought it but at least it doesn't require any extra account or anything

[mental rose]

Surprised they didn't license an anticheat for it, but that might've been too obvious.

[dry copper]

I don't know many EULA that specifically target ram for the express purpose of identifying and banning people using memory cheats.

Memory cheats aren't even hard to block. The developer of Evochron did a fantastic job of it.

Dude built the entire games code to, for every reference to memory, randomize memory locations at each and every single launch of the game

So the memory location for health was different every launch

etc

[mental rose]

Well it does apparently have a "battle pass" in it, which is also odd for a single player game.

[dry copper]

Made trainers impossible to code for

Now you can still technically cheat in evochron if you know how to actively scan memory while a game is running

but you have to redo all of it every single time the game is launched

The number of gamers that know how to make cheats compared to ones that just know how to download cheats is significantly lower.

[summer elm]

ac should be single player

[dry copper]

In nearly 20 years, I have never seen someone use a memory cheat to steal battle pass bullshit

[summer elm]

yeah lol

never hear it

[dry copper]

and in so far as protecting from cheats in a battle pass...I have an easy solution

Don't download your battlepass contents on every single client. Make the contents downloadable only if the shit is purchased.

[summer elm]

hmm that will work

[dry copper]

They know how to do it. DLC is the exact same thing.

[mental rose]

I've heard about that kind of game design. Stuff comes pre-installed with the base game, and you "unlock" it by buying the DLC.
Which sounds weird to me.

A lot of games got snubbed

Zzz should have been nominated for best soundtrack

[coarse swift]

Isn't black ops 6 the same game as black ops 5

[shadow temple]

No?

Its a sequel to the story

[coarse swift]

True, the number is different

[shadow temple]

Did you play it?

[coarse swift]

I don't play modern shooters

Least not anymore

[shadow temple]

"The game I didn't play is the same as the other game I didn't play" 🤨

[coarse swift]

So what'd they do that makes it different?

Besides a story sequel

Honest question, CoD games started to feel really samey after MW2

[shadow temple]

You just said you didn't play them lol

[coarse swift]

Can you answer the question or not

Wouldn't you wanna convince me that I'm in the wrong so I'm not going around saying these games I didn't play are the same game?

[dry copper]

...

I only play CoD games for story. Screw MP 😛

CoD pvpers are toxic af

[coarse swift]

Story continuation's always good

[dry copper]

I stopped buying CoD after ww2 tho

Maybe it was ww2....shit

I gotta check

Yeah ww2

It's annoying how they make newer games with older wars lol

[coarse swift]

They sure got quiet

[dry copper]

CoD?

[coarse swift]

No IceBorg

[dry copper]

Assimilating ice.

[coarse swift]

I wanted to know what was different between BO5 and BO6

Story sequel is nice and all but if it's the same gameplay as before with nothing new besides some guns then uh...

[dry copper]

Do either have a sp campaign?

[coarse swift]

I would assume so

[dry copper]

Based on a cursory glance at both games: Setting, SP Campaign, maps, guns, voice actors, characters and black ops 6 has a much higher rating across the board.

[mental rose]

I remember there being a lot of hyping for this "dynamic movement" mechanic or smth.
Maybe it was in BO6?

[coarse swift]

Like Titanfall dynamic?

[mental rose]

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

That movement set reminds me of Arma

It's not new.

[coarse swift]

#other-games message

[shadow temple]

it has a better and longer story and has a new movement system with a amazing multiplayer

Imagine if a game company tried to enforce a EULA against a child lol

Children can not sign nor be held to a contract, legally.

[shadow tartan]

Parent or guardian is supposed to accept them on behalf of minors.
You're not supposed to leave kids unsupervised.

[dry copper]

A ridiculous notion that a parent would sign off on a EULA on behalf of a child looking to play a game rated for children.

I've never met a kid that was supervised while playing games rated for children. Kind of defeats the point of a rating system if the game can't be trusted anyway - Which undermines the ability of the EULA to be enforced even if it's signed since the developer would've been in part responsible for representing the product to the ratings board.

[shadow tartan]

It's all written in guidelines for parents and guardians, all they have to do is read

[dry copper]

"Why don't you want to have kids?"
"Fuck reading EULAs...."

[shadow tartan]

Exactly! Could you imagine how strong the human race would be without EULAs

Nintendo is way worse and they have stolen patterns

Look here, look at the date and think :
The Switch was released in 2015

Nintendo is the lawyer company so nobody can fight them

[marble idol]

1080p with DLSS*

So it's more like 720p.

Or FSR I guess, 2000 series dont' support DLSS if I rember correctly.

[summer elm]

I play a bit

[orchid fox]

I own em could never get into it

[obtuse reef]

I recently got Ready or Not, despite being completely alone (no AI teammates or anything), I managed to S rank a pretty difficult mission, which means ensuring every suspect survives (which is really hard even with non-lethal weapons, because the enemy AI doesn’t give a shit about friendly fire), collecting every dropped weapon, and completing every hidden side objective, all with an incredibly limited health pool and being heavily out numbered and out gunned

Turns out, it’s not very fun playing ‘hunt-the-cultist’ with nothing but a beanbag shotgun, a half empty taser and several gunshot wounds

[dry copper]

Go figure. Challenge does not automatically equal fun.

https://tenor.com/view/dio-gif-21948353

Grats on the score tho. The game rewards not having fun.

[obtuse reef]

Honestly, the biggest issue with that mission specifically is that the civilians (or other suspects) would consistently stand in front of a suspect that started shooting at me

Which automatically forces a reset because you don’t get as many points for reporting an incapacitated or dead suspect, regardless of why they’re down

[dry copper]

At least you caught on early to the way the game programs its idiot ai

[obtuse reef]

I wouldn’t say the AI is stupid, just that they don’t have a ton of awareness for their allies

[dry copper]

That is a problem that will persist for most of the game I am sure

[obtuse reef]

The AI is decently intelligent, forcing the player into ambushes and being able to react to sounds that come from the player

[dry copper]

That's the enemy not the innocent

The non-enemy ai is stupid af

[obtuse reef]

The civilians are exceptionally dumb, I will give you that. Not even from a programming standpoint, just from a general standpoint

[dry copper]

You can almost tell who is innocent by how dumb it is

[obtuse reef]

I’ve had multiple civilians reach for their phones while a heavily armed SWAT officer is pointing a gun at them and yelling for them to get down

[dry copper]

Gotta record!

[obtuse reef]

Others sprinted right in front of me while actively in a gunfight

[dry copper]

IT'S MUH RIGHT

[obtuse reef]

I’ve had civilians yell “I would rather die than go with you!” and then immediately surrender when I yell at them again

For the civilians that don’t surrender, they get to meet my good friend the taser

[dry copper]

None of them yell anything funny, like "Can I at least have dinner first?"

[obtuse reef]

Sometimes suspects will give really stupid excuses

[dry copper]

"I slipped and the gun went off repeatedly"

[obtuse reef]

One of the missions has you raiding a meth house, sometimes a civilian or suspect will say “I have a prescription!” upon being arrested

Other times a suspect will claim that it was a misunderstanding

[dry copper]

Then you find out the prescription is for glasses.

"Sorry. I wasn't using my prescription. I thought I had a prescription."

[obtuse reef]

Hell, one mission has you raiding a server host building, the security there will claim that they didn’t know you were police after being arrested, as if the calls of “LSPD, get down!” and the multiple patches on my body armor that read “police” in bright yellow letters didn’t clue them in as to what I was doing there

[carmine zephyr]

the 20 series does

I had a 2060 super and it put some good work in for a long time

The main thing is it doesn't support DLSS 2 and 3 which are the newer ones however that is NVIDIA arbitrarily locking it to newer hardware as it can run it NVIDIA just doesn't let it

[ruby mesa]

Or they tested it and it wasn't performant enough, so they disable it to avoid bad consumer experience

[carmine zephyr]

No I distinctly remember someone doing a lot of shenanigans to get it running and it worked

DLSS is the main things the newer cards have going for them that makes em so much better

specifically newer versions of DLSS

If the older cards had access to it then thats the biggest benefit they have for the everday person gone

u can google

I feel bad for my steam list. So many games I'll likely never get around to playing.

[tranquil glen]

I dont think it was from humble

[dry copper]

At this point it feels like maybe I should consider adding steam to my fucking will

[orchid fox]

u can literally google its the reason they rolled back the bundles to original states as u used to have tiers for how many games u werre permittred to claikm

[dry copper]

Isn't that just for your subscription ?

[orchid fox]

nope

even purchased bundles

found it.

toggle thing

huh per bundle thing interesting

[dry copper]

I mean...makes sense

Maybe you buy a bundle because of the publisher more than the charity

[orchid fox]

honestlyb given it specifies publisher and not dev fuck it maxing charity xd

[tranquil glen]

I had donated to this, which is in part to funds a patient hospital for the Bristol hospital , Thank you Spiffing Brit for notifying me of this great charity deal

[orchid fox]

i couldnt give a fuck for publisher more so the men under them

[dry copper]

lol

Developers don't sell games. Publishers do.

Some developers self publish but that makes them publishers, too

[orchid fox]

cant even remember what my charity choice on humble is tbh

still duinno the lingo hgere is using all for charity refing i reduce discountg etc or.

Hey @tardy gate

I'm looking for another excuse not to play E:D

[austere lance]

Cuz it's a key component of the game and would have been goofy to not add as multiplayer, lol?

[obtuse reef]

because prop hunt is funny

[tranquil glen]

evenwhen its a serious game (which it cant be) its funny

[obtuse reef]

any "serious" multiplayer game should have some comedy imo

most players will find some way to insert their own comedy into a multiplayer game, might as well make it easier

[orchid fox]

no ur thinking of 1 and 2

source is separate afaik

[dry copper]

mmmm source film maker for life

[tranquil glen]

[inland oasis]

Prop hunt is great in games as it really shows game knowledge of the map. Being able to see the tiniest of differences from how the maps actually developed vs where people hide

[pure zinc]

Because it was at an all time high in cod trolling videos, I think ww2

Maybe in other games as well

I remember a lot of prop hunt during 2017 ngl

[tame cairn]

because its fun

wasnt prop hunt in COD 4: Modern Warfare?

or was that the remastered only?

either way its been a thing for a long time

[inland oasis]

I think it all started as a mod on cod4 modern warfare for pc

Cuz idk how the YouTubers were doing it before it hit mainstream

But as well back then you could have a modded console lol. Idk if people did that just for prop hunt

Steel plate armour ftw tho

My ballistic shield wearing ass only wears that

Grats on S score, damn hard to do in RoN.

Teargas works wonder for LTL

[inland oasis]

Oooo I should redownload RoN

I used to use the ceramic plates

[obtuse reef]

I actually use ceramic, because I’m pretty sure you can still take damage while wearing steel armor when it’s shot (although it is pretty reduced).

Also, I think Carriers of the Vine is one of the easier missions purely because all of the enemies are unarmored and tend to announce their presence once they see you

[tranquil glen]

Hehe mountain Man

[dreamy zinc]

Doesn't the ceramic break after getting shot? Been a while i played. All i know full steel + shield is tanky

[obtuse reef]

The ceramic can break, but it’s lighter and you don’t take damage from being shot in it

[dreamy zinc]

The steel doesn't break,why i take it

Getting wounded from time to time is fine

Shieldy boy slow anyway XD

[obtuse reef]

I’ve found that I don’t live long enough to see the plates break anyways

Also, last night I S ranked 23 Megabytes a Second

As shielder you need it, at least what i feel like

I also usually run battering ram, since you don’t need a lock pick when you have the key to everything

It’s also really useful if your legs get shot

Then I just run taser, since it’s good for getting stubborn civilians to surrender

[dreamy zinc]

Batter is great indeed

With shield you barely get shot in the legs especially when crouched

[obtuse reef]

Yeah, I ran shield for a bit but then I realized the glass became impossible to see through after one encounter with a guy using a full auto weapon

I also occasionally use the grenade launchers, which they’re good for essentially giving you like three extra grenades

[dreamy zinc]

Yeah that's anoying for sure especially when it's hit dead center

[obtuse reef]

Also, shield forces you to bring extra pistol mags if you want to actually do anything other than soak up bullets with the shield out

[dreamy zinc]

Oh i only carry like 1-2 p90 mags, rest is five-seven mags

[obtuse reef]

See, I always bring 6 AR mags and one pistol mag

The ability to two-tap armored enemies in the torso is really nice

[dreamy zinc]

With laser pointer its easy to hipfire pistol on shield

[dreamy zinc]

Then you don't bring a shield XD, would be a waste then

[obtuse reef]

Yeah, which is why I don’t bring a shield

[dreamy zinc]

P90 is handy tbh 2 mags gives you 100 rounds of ammo

57 also highest cap mags

So i basically am loaded with ammo

Small caliber but still has some armor penitration

But for shield that's good enough

Don't know my other loadouts

Played shield a lot

[obtuse reef]

I don’t like the SMGs a whole lot purely because of their low damage and only being useful at close range

[dreamy zinc]

Understandable

I do it for the ammo

2mags a 100 rounds

Almost 4 mags worth of rounds

Closer to 3 but whatever

[obtuse reef]

P90 is really good in tight areas, but a good fourth of the ARs are also really good at that range

One of the ARs has an integrated suppressor, it’s one of my favorite guns in the game. It’s accurate, good at close range and long range and it can incapacitate a suspect wearing body armor in two shots

I struggled a bit with the ARs when first starting out because I always just set them to full auto, turns out the game is easier when you prioritize accuracy over raw damage output

[dreamy zinc]

Nice, if you recall the ar name lemme know

Also i usually run semi-auto

Unlesss needed i use full

[obtuse reef]

It’s easy to find because it’s the only gun in the game with an integrated suppressor, the description mentions it

[dreamy zinc]

Alrighty

[obtuse reef]

It’s also really quiet

[dreamy zinc]

Think of of my loadouts has a scar

[obtuse reef]

Also, I’ve tried the pepperball guns, they’re really bad

[dreamy zinc]

I know

They don't work

Like full mag and into the perp and he still f's off / shoots back

[obtuse reef]

The only upside they have over the beanbag shotgun is you can’t accidentally kill someone if you shoot them in the head

[dreamy zinc]

True

Still gotta hurt

[obtuse reef]

Actually, they’re apparently more effective at forcing suspects to surrender if you shoot them in the head with the pepperball guns

[dreamy zinc]

hwack get beaned in the head

[obtuse reef]

I mean, it’s essentially a softer shotgun slug hitting you in the head

[dreamy zinc]

Worst part is when they shoot you and when you shoot back, just before your killshot arrives they drop their gun "unautharized use of force"

Like brother please the ffing shot me

[obtuse reef]

I don’t believe the beanbag shotgun can trigger unauthorized use of force

At least not when shooting someone who is in the process of surrendering

[dry copper]

I checked every title in that bundle. You hurt the developer screwing the publisher. Literally every game but one in that bundle is self published in some form and the one that isn't, the publisher is amazing (same publisher for Kingdom Come Deliverance and Outward)

[dry copper]

Why would you shoot someone surrendering?

Oh you mean in the game?

[obtuse reef]

Yeah

Even then you’re not supposed to, even with nonlethal weapons

[dry copper]

Conversation went on for so long it was unclear lol

[obtuse reef]

Ah, that’s fair

[dry copper]

It would be cool if Discord could properly collate conversations to summarize their subject matter and consolidate their points.

Like, if you start a convo on whatever subject, a button can be pushed to turn it into a convo and then every reply to it gets collated for it in a thread. A lot of people just respond without wanting to ping...So could then have a button to add a post to the thread for that purpose.

Or just make it so responding to a convo doesn't ping the authors like regular replies do.

Not like anyone would necessarily see anything different looking at chat until they clicked the conversation tag and saw the points of it.

Neverness to Everness in shambles

[shadow temple]

whats that

[coarse swift]

Similar game to Ananta made by the devs behind Tower of Fantasy

[shadow temple]

tower of fantasy was horrible and broken

[coarse swift]

My favorite part was at launch you were unable to get all the event rewards without spending money

[shadow temple]

also just sayin 🤨

[coarse swift]

People falling to a city as a promo art is not an original idea

[shadow temple]

the guy is in the exact same pose lol

[coarse swift]

Oh lol didn't notice that bit

[shadow temple]

you have to admit by the trailer its a bunch of games smashed together

looks really cool though

[coarse swift]

Yea there's a lot going on

Don't think I'll get into that one

[orchid fox]

sony called they report for insomniac infringement.

https://youtu.be/2KeN9CeJQi0?t=70 do not tell me frame by frame this sint the exact rig insomniac used for spider man swinging

[tame cairn]

LOL

wow

i hate jrpgs more and more

with every new release

[shadow temple]

its not

it looks more like the swinging from the spiderman game on the xbox and ps2

also sony doesn't own a patent on swinging...

spiderman games have been on every platform

sony doesn't even own spiderman

[tranquil glen]

anyong getting Delta force?

[tame cairn]

im pretty sure they do

unless they don't now

[obtuse reef]

I thought they did as well

[tame cairn]

insomniac spiderman games arent on xbox

they all use sony tech in the game lol

and in the movies

[dry copper]

Asian attempt to create GTA?

The art style is decent.

So much of that trailer is pre-rendered bullshit, I have no idea what the game is going to actually be like

[dry copper]

Not touching Delta Force with ACE on it. That anti-cheat does not shut off when the game is over and it conflicts with other anti-cheats.

[shadow temple]

there were other spiderman games before insomniacs lol

[winter yew]

The original Spiderman 2 is goated

[tame cairn]

before yes, in recent years spiderman is owned by sony

I was semi-wrong, he's owned by Sony for motion pictures. Not everything, but Sony did enter an agreement to let Disney use spiderman in the MCU.

funny how that works

cuz hes technically a marvel character but all his movie rights are owned by someone else lol.

how did that even

come to happen

ah

sony bought spiderman for $7 million?

and theyve made so much off of him since lol

[dry copper]

Lady Death from the MCU...the lady Thanos was obsessed with so much that he gave Deadpool immortality just so the man would never be able to take her affection from him...

Played by Aubrey Plaza

[ruby mesa]

What the Eff. I'm playing ACO, supposedly on Easy. And I evaded the enemy. I'm like 100m away from the last place they saw me. My detection meater clears, and BAM the enemy runs at me in a beeline

[orchid fox]

actual warning and pretty fucking shit they never said directly to us

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3591631 we aint getting preload

steam wise

just via forums

[dry copper]

shrug

It's not even the final version of the game. It's early access.

[orchid fox]

ik but still not an issue per say but they couldnt have done an update on the page many bought it on

🤷‍♂️

[austere lance]

It's his daughter, lol

Also Rivals is fun so far, at least two characters definitely need nerfed tho 😆

[orchid fox]

que

[tame cairn]

tldr: these guys made a minecraft server and it wasnt allowed apparently because Mojang changed the TOS without notifying anybody (which by law you have to in sweden). and they basically put thousands of dollars into the minecraft server too.

[obtuse reef]

mojang has repeatedly used extremely vague wording and double standards in terms of their EULA enforcement, forcing projects that had significant monetary backing to close with minimal warning

[tame cairn]

and sadly hes kinda broke now so he can't actually sue them unless a gofundme happens

which did happen and hes over the goal now

sooo

that'll be a crazy one

[winter yew]

Isn't minecraft owned by Microsoft now

[obtuse reef]

Mojang is owned by Microsoft, yes

[tame cairn]

ye

[winter yew]

You can't really beat Microsoft lawyers

[tame cairn]

its wild because if you watch the video, he goes to the government of sweden basically and asks them to look into it

they pretty much say its not a big enough deal to look into it

Lol

it is also funny because they say guns arent allowed at first but have servers with literal guns

and marketplace items that are guns

[pure zinc]

Chat, im tosic

I actually messaged the guy after, it was like 15-4

I gave him tips and stuff

He no responded tho, so maybe he saw, maybe not

I always try to be as wholesome and helpful as possible, regardless of if I win or lose, and If the other person is toxic

[orchid fox]

also for the unknowing.

end is night nevermind what the fuck i saidf earlier @dry copper

[inland oasis]

The big issue of why this sucks is because even the governmental agencies that SOLE JOB is to enforce and protect consumers from this, are doing literally nothing as they don’t think it’s important enough to engage law enforcement. It goes above who just owns the company anymore lol

[tame cairn]

lets hope because of this gofundme

he gets someone that actually wants to take this case

[inland oasis]

Enough backlash to the government itself is gonna be tough but not impossible
