I mean, it's all good as long as it's fun

Thing is that with some games that have advanced systems you might get yourself into a situation where it stops being fun and becomes tedious and frustrating if you go against the flow without adapting to the mechanics

For example cover in RT is quite fragile, some weapon types can just straight up ignore it, las weapons reduce cover efficiency of the target iirc

Heavily relying on it can lead to getting exposed and getting your ass beaten, some combat situation don't even offer that much cover

Now that I think of it I really hate when people use "there is no wrong way to play a game" argument

There is no wrong way, sure, but there are ways that are objectively less fun then others

Your character misses 5 times vs your character hits and crits

Hit and crit feels good, missing 5 times in a row doesn't

You can increase chances chances of a critical hit happening.

Some time ago I made a build using operative with dual wielding bolt pistols

It took long time to get it to work on a level that was fun to play and the process was frustrating bc operative isn't really meant to be used that way, there aren't also any really good boltpistols

[austere forge]

There are plenty of wrong ways to play a game.

For instance, imagine if you're playing chess and start picking off your opponents chess pieces by throwing d20s at them.

[barren sparrow]

This is the opposite of what i was tryingto present, wrong way but seems fun

Lol idk how I didn't see this vid till now but funny

[merry bough]

I don't think Civ VII is worth the price it's selling for based on the quality I've seen

It looks like it's worth maybe at most 10 dollars and a spot in the Wallmart movie bin.

[winter yew]

The issue is it's a upgrade of civ 5 NOT 6
So at a glance it's like "wtf 😒"

People took issue with districts, the art style, building wide, ect so they went back to civ 5

People hated civ 6 builders no prob builders gone now

[merry bough]

The graphics don't look right imo

It doesn't look finished

The shading feels off

[winter yew]

But it's a double edge sword too because now you didn't upgrade what people already have with civ 6

[merry bough]

As well as the models

[winter yew]

Yeah I don't like that it's all grey either
I can't defend that one 😭 lol

[merry bough]

Also I don't like that they got rid of the drawn map feature and replaced it with a black void

It makes the game very difficult to see

And just looks awful

It looks like you're reading a book in the middle of the night with an AA flashlight

[winter yew]

People took issue with 6s system of charted, uncharted, undiscovered lol

Most faults are over corrections going back to 5s style

The all grey art style terrible choice though

[merry bough]

I think the towns mechanic is actually very good from what I've seen

To clarify, I haven't bought the game. (I'm not gonna spend like 70 dollars on something this poor quality)

But from what I've seen in gameplay

The towns mechanic is a nice change

I'd prefer this over placing a random town for like a piece of coal or something

[winter yew]

I'm anti towns lol

I

It automates and removes player choice
No need for builders just select tile free improvment

The new combat ha similar issues relating to automation

[merry bough]

I can see that

Personally I just don't like having to constantly choose a production from a random city I don't care about

Like I don't want them to produce anything, just mine the coal.

[inland oasis]

this games beauty will never cease to amaze me

[snow zenith]

Prettyyy

I wish I could replay Witcher 3

or rather experience it all over again

[inland oasis]

what stops ya?

[sleek cloud]

still haven't played through the DLCs

[snow zenith]

That I've already played through it back and forth

[obtuse reef]

It's amazing how many older games hold up better in terms of graphics than some newer games

[sleek cloud]

RDR2 still one of the best looking games

[obtuse reef]

Subnautica came out in like 2014 and it's beautiful

[inland oasis]

true, reasonable. once i finally get thru the dlcs itll be one FULL playthrough for me. RDR2 is a literal masterpiece also. this one fights it for first place but rdr2 is just....heavenly

[azure folio]

Hey anybody wanna try hopping on remnant 2? The game is insane

[snow zenith]

I should get that game sometime

[azure folio]

Has fully revived gaming for me

[snow zenith]

I hear it's Dark Souls but shooter which ticks all the boxes for me

[azure folio]

The level of secrets & things to find/do dude it’s beyond crazy

[azure folio]

It’s so so much more

[inland oasis]

ive had it recommended to me a lot. but i sucked at just the first one. (remnant)

[sleek cloud]

i believe this is on game pass so might give a try one day

[inland oasis]

dark souls wit guns lmao

[azure folio]

I’d honestly reccomend that day is today

I was skeptical & figured hey I’ll just try it

[sleek cloud]

too busy with KCD2 😛

[azure folio]

Dude literally the best game I’ve played in years

[vale stump]

Anyone here play any games in the Darksiders franchise?

[azure folio]

Okay okay no that’s valid

[azure folio]

I do

Gunfire games the makers of darksiders made remnant btw

[vale stump]

Which ones? I play 2 on the ps3 and 3 on the switch

Oh, and genesis

[azure folio]

Try chronos

They made a Zelda like darksiders like game with a sifu esq. aging system upon death

I think it’s chronos before the ashes

[vale stump]

Just looked it up, looks fire

[sleek cloud]

i think I read somewhere that a Sifu movie is being made

[azure folio]

And it then leads to the jump into guns n sequel remnant after ashes & then obvs rem 2

Pretty cool storyline and lore tbf

[azure folio]

I’d imagine so the episode from secret level did really well

[sleek cloud]

https://www.gamereactor.eu/a-sifu-movie-is-in-the-works-at-netflix-1501773/

[inland oasis]

what is secret level? i keep seeing people say they have alot of content whether it be sifu, space marine etc etc. are they like an animation studio or something?

[sleek cloud]

oh ye, watched that the other day. Very good indeed

[azure folio]

It’s on Amazon prime

[sleek cloud]

Yes, made some short animated clips based in different game universes

[azure folio]

Short stories from video game worlds

RIP concord

Dead game

Banger episode and world

[sleek cloud]

Unreal Tournament episode could have been better

[azure folio]

Yeah that’s facts

[obtuse reef]

it's what happens when you try and compete in a market that's already pretty saturated

[azure folio]

I did enjoy the themes though

[azure folio]

Idno some games find a way

[obtuse reef]

yeah, but Concord didn't market and was way more expensive than it's potential competitors

[azure folio]

Rem is a souls like & shooter, two of the most saturated genres & its deadass the best game ive played in a long time

And it gets no marketing

Concord was just a shitty game 🤷‍♂️

[inland oasis]

i wish "The Division" series would get a movie/animation like that

[obtuse reef]

I definitely agree that there are a ton of games that do really well in an oversaturated market, but Concord barely even tried

[azure folio]

It’s honestly beautiful

These studios are all slowly dying

New studios are forming from old big boy ones & launching super interesting fresh looking games

Love it

[sleek cloud]

imagine a NMS animated video from Secret Level

[obtuse reef]

it's because indie devs and smaller studios do the exact same thing the AAA devs have been doing but better

and cheaper

[azure folio]

Idno they already have like 2-3 space episodes already

[obtuse reef]

why spend $60 on a mediocre game when you can spend $30 on an amazing game?

[azure folio]

I mean they also craft games to be well games, fun & not cash grabs

[inland oasis]

NMS would be tough to put into a single animation 😄 especially to get a whole story across. but, i do think itd be a really cool conceptual idea

[azure folio]

Like dude I played hi fi rush the other day

Literally felt like a kid again

Just a game being a video game

True art

[inland oasis]

i could see something like a intense horror NMS animation of the dead freighters u can board. omg i cant remember the name

derelict!

[obtuse reef]

I love derelict spacecraft in horror

it's such a neat idea to enter what's basically a floating tomb in space

[azure folio]

Reallllly now

Well then sit

In keeping in theme with my talking of remnant 2

[obtuse reef]

I also love ocean planets in scifi settings, despite being scared shitless of the critters inside those oceans

[azure folio]

1 of the main worlds is called n’erud, a derelict planet sized ship from a race at the edge of the universe having searched the whole universe for life, failing & being stuck in a black hole at the center of the universe

Tell me that doesn’t interest you cmonnnn man 😂

[obtuse reef]

I think I have looked at getting Remnant II but I just have too much shit to play currently lol

[azure folio]

Such as?

[obtuse reef]

I need to beat Subnautica before the release of Subnautica 2

I will convince just atleast 1 of you mf’s to play this game 😂😂

[obtuse reef]

I think my friend plays it

And I need to play Dead Space at some point

[azure folio]

I sent you a dm

If that doesn’t convince you ah well

Ooooh the dead space remaster is beautiful

[mental rose]

Can definitely recommend Dead Space remake.

It's unfortunate EA put plans for DS2 remake on hiatus tho...

They had a bad choice of timing for the release too, which most likely hurt it's sales.
Two highly anticipated horror games releasing only 2 months apart.

[austere lance]

Remnant 2? I no life'd the hell out of it for months and have every achievement except one annoying RNG one, lol. I have every weapon and piece of armor in the game beside two crap medium weight armors from the last two DLCs. Literally one of my favorite games of all time, it's

I apparently have 193 hours in it, lol

[azure folio]

My good sir you see the light

Damn 193… I’m only at 43 & feel I have barely even broached past the tip of the iceberg yet, despite having done SO much so far

[austere lance]

You have a lot more stuff to do off rip than I did, lol. When I started there weren't any DLCs 😆

[inland oasis]

lmao he got 4.5x the time youve played it, you ARE scratching the surface xD

[azure folio]

The game bro

Such depth

Almost hurts

Like bro I was like okay 40 hours in my build is nuuuts, a status & elemental mage with summons

Then I found 3 more classes by accident & im just lost as to what I do now 😂

Gonna have like 50 builds

[austere lance]

How many classes do you have rn

@azure folio

[azure folio]

Invoker, ritualist(main), summoner(2nd class), challenger, medic, hunter, gunslinger, oh oh I literally just got engineer it looks dope

Ik there’s like 5 more at minimum to find

There are too many damn rings as well I could run like 170 different builds rn

[austere lance]

There are ||13|| classes

[azure folio]

Jesus I have so far to go 😂

[austere lance]

Good luck getting the hidden one

[azure folio]

Ohhh archon

Yhyh I already found the door

[austere lance]

Yee

[azure folio]

I just need the ford corrupted set?

No clue

[snow zenith]

I saw a vid about that

[azure folio]

I’ll get it later n be palpatine

[snow zenith]

Aboslutely insane lol

[austere lance]

You need a lot of things, lol

[azure folio]

Didn’t they put it in a back room looking area because people kept data mining it before release?

[austere lance]

Yep 😆

[azure folio]

That is the shit I love

That right there is mf gaming bruh

These devs deserve so much respect

[austere lance]

Good luck navigating the back rooms, there's more than just the armor item in there

[azure folio]

Oooooh

Okay sir

Stop teasing me

You naughty naughty

The game has surprised me & amazed me so much I actually just copped the first game & it’s dlc earlier to play after this game

[austere lance]

It's all distorted and shit when you go in, it's terrifying 😆

[azure folio]

No that’s sexy bro

[austere lance]

First game feels like a cheap techo demo in comparison, lol

Let me know if you ever manage to make it here, lol. Getting the Archon set is a cake walk compared to what you have to do to get to this spot

I have so many great screenshots from that game, it's pure art

[azure folio]

I have been told the same however i wanna just try anyway

Tbf tears of the kingdom actually did fully ruin breath of the wild for me

Dude agreed I have many many screenshots the art did not need to go this crazy

[austere lance]

Like, seriously 💕

[azure folio]

Also this app is genuinely the gimpiest place I’ve ever come across

Like I know the internet is rammed with keyboard warriors but Jesus

I’ve been kicked n banned from 2 massive servers today just for having general chats

Because it’s not “100% in line with the game the server is named after”

Like okay you mf’s not able to have normal conversations?

Also I’m stealing all your screenshots thank you sir 🙏😂

[slow skiff]

Well it happened one of my favorite games went to crap and well I got this message today

Dear Slayers,

With heavy hearts, we want to share that Dauntless will be shutting down on May 29, 2025 11:45 PM. This was not an easy decision, and we want to express our gratitude to our players, partners and the talented developers who brought Dauntless to life.

To our community, your passion, creativity, and dedication made Dauntless more than just a game - it became a shared world and a place where friendships were forged. We know there were times we didn’t get it right, but we always strived to give you the best experience we could. We are thankful for your feedback, patience and support over the years.

Thank you for being part of this adventure.

Phoenix Labs

[coarse swift]

Not even an offline version for afterwards eh

[slow skiff]

They did a major update that basically improved AI of monsters and other things and also removed all weapons except exotics and it also removed weapon crafting and armor crafting which was the whole point of the game

So I'm not to surprised that it died

Whole game went to crap

A lot of veterans were pissed and devs started leaving

I started playing the game when switch first released

Back when my grandpa was still alive I spent hours on it

So much work

Now it's all going to be gone

[coarse swift]

announcing the shutdown days before Wilds' release too

[winter yew]

I used to play a game where I had flying aircrafts It had crafting and you went exploring around floating islands and stuff
Long shut down too

Hashtag stop killing games

[slow skiff]

Yeah

Seriously

[tranquil glen]

bring back games the size FUEL

[slow skiff]

I'm pretty sad about this because it's another thing to remind me about my relationship dieing too since my gf and I used to play it together when we were still really close to each other

So like this stuff happening at the same time as my relationship is falling apart

Is pretty depressing

[austere lance]

Monsters are too tanky to fight by yourself tbh. It's technically possible, just like it's technically possible to solo the hardest monsters in Monster Hunter, but I wouldn't recommend it 😆

[coarse swift]

If they didnt have a scaling mechanic implemented to accomodate for singleplayer then thats on them

[orchid fox]

Leaving? The entire team got fired as was the only reason we even got to know on the leadership change as the Bosses fucking banned em from uttering shit about it after epic shadow solv the studio to a fucking crypto company

What work force? The entirety of devteam got expelled after reboot and acquisition lol

[slow skiff]

So you have insite on the game

I see

[orchid fox]

No i just follow shit hon of news on it

Skill up have done several segments on it

And so has many others

[slow skiff]

Yeah I'm really sad about it's death

[orchid fox]

Im not undermining ur sadness btw thats not the intent of my mesaage

This has been an ongoing struggle people have reported on for essentially months since the leadership change til well

They couldnt recover and just killed studio/game outright

[slow skiff]

Damn

[orchid fox]

Not even an offline mode kinda fucking stings dou lol

But genuinely how do u intend to compete with the hunters when u remove all semblsnce of set crafting o_0

That was a Demise move in of itself

Money or not that was a nail in coffin for many

Sending all founders bonuses and progression and "permanent battlepassrs" straight into the internal pyre and denying refunds is An ENTIRE different argument i wont start as i will get heated

As Yes nothing remained people had their founder perks and battlepasses nuked

Which was said to not expire

Well they now made game' life expectancy hit 0 outright

[slow skiff]

Bro true when they removed weapon crafting and armor crafting I was pissed off and so were the devs and the vets of dauntless bro Mr trails made a video on how he was disappointed and so did Ohduh

[orchid fox]

Mhm

Duh is one i follow news relating to it along with skilluo

[slow skiff]

RIP one of the coolest monster hunters I've played

[orchid fox]

Then my friend linked a veteran going back to reboot

[slow skiff]

I guess I might start playing skyforge again

Lol

I stopped playing for a little because it didn't have cross platform play

And I wanted to play with my partner

[orchid fox]

He got to main hub force fed shit he has already done woke up to absolutely everything removed his founders stuff nuked build crafting gone the deeper he got into store and pricing the more fury he got til he just alt F4d this was a dude with thousand of hours

[slow skiff]

Bro man I feel that pain

In my soul

[orchid fox]

As it had uneven pricing the best cells is locked to alteration purchases of weapons that already exist

0 ways to craft

Cant aquire the cells

[slow skiff]

Yep

[orchid fox]

His weapon stats reset for new mastery system

Shit he got refunded wasnt worth a 10th of cap

The silver given wasnt even minimum to get one worth purchase

All perma passes revoked

I can go on but i really gotta sleep

[slow skiff]

When they did the leaks of the new update I saw some of the things I payed close attention a lot I was like
"Oh man this isn't going to end well for the player base or company in the long run"

And what do y'know it happened woke up this morning to the message and I was devastated

They killed the game

I'm one of the older players too

[orchid fox]

A player with near 2000 hours upon launching reboot got forced to redo all quests and tutorial as well as intro when literally walking in definete end gear of original with no skip function and he was considered a new player by game, and i repeat founders bonuses was nuked for everyone and they deny refund

Even epic wouldnt twist this dagger this hard

[slow skiff]

I started playing before they nerfed the repeaters

[orchid fox]

Epic may be sleezy but they have some semblsnce of a soul

Most stuff for Paragon was refunded before shutdown afaik

[slow skiff]

Man I dislike Phoenix with a iron fist now

[orchid fox]

Phoenix is more or less dead btw as said the workforce has been fired on entirety ages ago

[slow skiff]

Yeah epic is good I mean they literally fixed warface a lot in partnership with crytech

[orchid fox]

So its not Phoenix its the crypto company owning em

[slow skiff]

They listen

[orchid fox]

I am usually against epic but i can give em that much

[slow skiff]

Rocket league got better

A bit

But yeah

I'm pretty sad about the end of a great game

RIP

[tranquil glen]

wait rocket league has finally died, or you just repeating your sadness for dauntless another time?

[winter yew]

https://youtu.be/Z5qQMqzdz74?si=HFUBkqeigqBK_6Jc

Dauntless? TBH I dropped off when they introduced mindless endless hunts for primary farming

[tranquil glen]

guys why cant we hold Menkent?

https://tenor.com/view/a23-gif-3213669895553157975

[coarse swift]

Its in the name

your men... kent hold it

[snow zenith]

This needed a bread emoji

[coarse swift]

[snow zenith]

Love you

[dry copper]

A minecraft simulator using the brain dead jerkcode that AI generates when given untethered control over the output would be no different than playing in a movie that has no concept of gravity or collision.

Like one of those realtor house tour videos, but the walls aren't real and your character has dementia so it keeps forgetting what the place looks like.

For all the "better" a script might get at simulating that world space, I have to wonder how streamlined the processing will ever be that it has any more utility than a rendered scene...In minecraft.

"Simulate I'm having fun"

[chilly scaffold]

Civilization 6 is the horse that never stops getting beat lol
People hated it at launch then the dlc made it too complex and tedious now the discord mod for the discord is cooked

Just put it out of its misery

[winter yew]

Do not fear civ 7 abandoned most of 6s upgrades and went back to systems similar to 5

It's first spawn approved

[winter yew]

https://youtu.be/PBnp5pdrFB4?si=JbWCmQZ5Omhfm3uh
Lmao, might have to cancel My pre order I'm on the fence

[idle saffron]

140(ish) on the series x

[orchid fox]

MK? or what

[winter yew]

I didn't mean it would literally be 300gb elsewhere I meant it takes up considerable space lol

Yeah mk1

I was on the fence then bought in when I saw noob sailbot was basically iron heart now
Cool as hell

Hope the iron heart show releases soon too

[idle saffron]

Understood, I was giving the number 🙂

[vital girder]

yeah uh, ask high command

[dry copper]

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

[obtuse reef]

Everyone’s so concerned about Menkent, but I’m more worried about Martale being fucking haunted

You cannot tell me that there is not some form of possession going on here

[mental rose]

This contract's a steal. Not that I mind. 😋

[obtuse reef]

You ain’t winning unless someone else is losing I guess

[mental rose]

Hmm? Nah, I'm funding a diplomatic mission for gathering a Saint's relics.
Only it doesn't cost me anything, and I get 5k rep points to every faction, which is huge.

@barren sparrow Do you know anything about this origin? It's confusing the hell out of me.
I couldn't pick it at character creation and none of the companions have it either.

I tried googling about it, and people were saying it's a bug or oversight

[barren sparrow]

Either oversight or it's not meant for you, I think some of origins you can't pick are companions'

You can try to give it to someone and see if they get the benefits

[mental rose]

Another person said it's a different name for Fortress World origin

[barren sparrow]

I remember giving someone an item like that and they got benefits even tho they didn't match specifically

Tho idk if it was meant to be or a bug

I dont remember origin specific items being a big deal tho

Never really used them

[mental rose]

It looks like it gives the world property bonus for everyone wearing it.
meaning it's a universal origin buff that anyone benefits from.

Fascinating name choice. War World

[barren sparrow]

In the grim darkness of the 41st millennium there is only war

So technically all worlds are war worlds

[obtuse reef]

At what point is a planet classified as “Shithole”?

Because I can think of a few planets that meet the criteria for being FUBAR

[mental rose]

I think Krieg counts as one, though the Death Korps will probably never say it out loud

Catachan is a literal jungle hell.

[obtuse reef]

Oh, something I learned semi-recently, but apparently every other regiment finds the Cadians absolutely insufferable

Which in retrospect makes a lot of sense

[mental rose]

I can imagine few adjectives that probably describe Cadians.
No-nonsense. Extremely disciplined

And possibly a fatalist outlook only surpassed by the Death Korps due to surviving 13 Black Crusades before their planet cracked

[obtuse reef]

Apparently everyone hates them because they bring Cadia into everything

[mental rose]

Oh, the whole "Cadia broke before the Guard did"

[obtuse reef]

There’re a couple of conversations in Darktide where one of the Veteran personalities just starts shitting on Cadia

[mental rose]

Oh that

[obtuse reef]

I think it’s something along the lines of “if you guys were actually competent Cadia wouldn’t have fallen”

I could be misremembering it

But, it makes sense why everyone would hate the Cadians, because they almost always mention Cadia in a conversation

I’d imagine that would get tiring after a while

[mental rose]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2yx7gdPyB0

[obtuse reef]

Yeah, that’s pretty fair ngl

Bring Cadia into a conversation for no reason, get insulted. Sounds fair enough to me

[mental rose]

"Ok smartass, how would YOU stop a fricking moon that someone threw at your homeplanet??
'Cause that's what happened to Cadia!"

Would be a funny comeback. 😄

Also Cadians apparently have purple eyes, due to living so close to the Eye of Terror.

[obtuse reef]

Yeah, but that’s not really in character for the Cadians

And yes, they do. They are also more resistant to the Warp than normal people, which is why they’re usually deployed to fight Chaos

[orchid fox]

OOHHHH boi that is

some firery writing

from dialogue

[obtuse reef]

I mean, basically all of the Rejects in Darktide are assholes (except the Ogryn)

[orchid fox]

case and point

[obtuse reef]

Yeah, that’s the one I remember

[orchid fox]

aye ik i am related to a fatshark dev be it indirectly lol

i got darktide and vermintide 2 delux for free on christmas and bday lol

[obtuse reef]

Nice

[mental rose]

There are some spicy moments definitely. Darktide is basically L4D in 40k universe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czfopZHbZ9c

Been playing more Kingdom come deliverance 2

Genuinely thinking it might be one of the best first person rpgs of all time

[austere lance]

God I wish the devs hadn't completely abandoned this on console. Every couple months I'll check reviews for it and without fail they say it's still a buggy mess. I was so hyped for it and almost pre-ordered it, but apparently some part of my brain knew it was gonna be a shit show and stopped me 😆

[tranquil glen]

welp I guess Ive just been given another reason to go play SHadow ofColossus

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcQ-8R2fiZg

@austere lance bro, did you hear about Wonder Woman

[austere lance]

Monolith, yeah

But WB themselves, of course, still hold the patent for the Nemesis system. So that shit's never going free 😔

[inland oasis]

Just rename the nemesis system to “rivalry system” Bing Bong, fuck ya patent 💀

[mental rose]

@barren sparrow Please tell me ||I get to kill Marazhai later on. I already hate that Drukhari A-hole for attacking my throneworld and daring to gloat about it.||

And of course he flees like a b*itch...

[barren sparrow]

You will meet him again, how it ends is up to you

|| it's even possible to recruit him and let Slaanesh have his soul (tho I usually just kill him) ||

[mental rose]

Hmm... interesting

[inland oasis]

Machine spirits I imagine do speak. But at what point it becomes abominable idk. Because princepts of titans fuse souls essentially with a machine spirit. Now I know that’s not “speaking” but I wonder how that weighs in

[orchid fox]

abombinable is having selnse of self and intelligence

as ai based on non craniums is banned to point of needing purging

in 40k

[inland oasis]

Which eventually over time the machine spirit iirc obtains again as it overwrites the princepts

[orchid fox]

if ai has sense of self thats a sign to kill

yes basically

[inland oasis]

So it’s already abominable

[orchid fox]

yes

basically

[mental rose]

Oof...

[orchid fox]

wellp there u go

u know what u deal with

lol

[mental rose]

Did this mf'er just Blackwall that poor Technomat??

[orchid fox]

seems like

lol

[inland oasis]

Cooked his brain overloaded them circuits 💀

Flatlined

And with the sheer lack of emotion

Pure abominable

It was only trying to show you something lmao

[orchid fox]

rip smoll technomat lol

(fyi im not deep into 40k to know what the fuck a technomat EVEN IS)

[inland oasis]

The audacity to waste the emperors resources like that. Absolutely abominable

Iirc it’s just like a tech mechanicus. Like no one seriously high up, more of a maintenance person. i think

Probably specialize in something but what idk. If they even do and aren’t just the standard grunt unit like servitors

[mental rose]

A low-ranking Techpriest, basically

[orchid fox]

teh ripn technomite homie died for fucking nothing lol

"i wanna show u something" kills a grunt life support just to prove a point

[inland oasis]

He’ll make for a good toilet paper roll holding servitor now

Or a coffee table

[orchid fox]

LOL

[inland oasis]

The emperor protects

[mental rose]

My brain is spinning right now.

Getting prologue flashbacks.
"We aided you when you needed assistance. Why do you fear us now?" it asked

[orchid fox]

what a way to go out have ur brain turn to scambled egg for a computer just to prove a point lol

[mental rose]

"We can do a lot of things! Want to see?"
Fries a guy's brain

It's acting like a child

[orchid fox]

did the technomite even say a word in convo? lol

[mental rose]

No, it was one of those background characters who just swings a thurible

[inland oasis]

In the grand scheme a machine spirit never ages I think. It’s a machine, as long as maintained. So a 1000yr old machine spirit may literally still BE a child. Vs say one that’s been around 5x that or something

[mental rose]

"Nomos is happy to talk. We have been lonely"

[inland oasis]

As to what spirit it is well that’s entirely based from context

[mental rose]

Well to my understanding, it has saved my RT's life twice now.
First time was in the prologue when it activated automated defenses after I got betrayed.
Second time it force-activated the Warp Engine so we could escape a dangerous system.

Only now I'm actually talking to the entity

This is trippy stuff... and I LOVE IT

[inland oasis]

Don’t stray from the light of the emperors path 😎

[austere lance]

Y'all have me curious af about the game and I have it installed, I'm miserable at CRPGs tho and always give up after a couple hours

[inland oasis]

I feel like it’d have to have a really good story for me to get attached to. I’m the same way I dislike CRPG type stuff. But with how entrancing the 40k verse it, could be a good combo. I never played it either

[mental rose]

I can only speak for myself, but that whole exchange above was certainly a "Oh shit!" moment that grabbed my interest to keep playing. 😄

[mental rose]

Well if you do give it a try, be prepared to read a LOT of tooltips....

[tranquil glen]

all the tipped tools

[austere lance]

Example #35 of dogshit game design in Avowed: If one of your companions gets the Shocked status effect that zaps them (and everything around them) every two seconds and they give it to your other companion they'll just shock each other back and forth forever because the timer resets every time they get zapped. You can literally just sit there for 30 minutes and watch them zap each other endlessly, lol

I refuse to believe this game is actually a finished product

[inland oasis]

“That’s a feature not a bug”

[tranquil glen]

.. it is a feature tho

A shit one, lol

How come?

[meager kayak]

@slender karma b&s goes a lot faster when you realize all the combat is optional

just run past everyone

[slender karma]

Gravity boosting through the caves lol

[meager kayak]

problem: you only have a sword, and you're up against metal plated enemies

solution: just spawn a black hole lmao

[slender karma]

It's funny that gravity and body just get the ability to just punch someone's head clean off like a cartoon

[meager kayak]

theres a point where the difficulty in combat isnt from the enemies, its from trying to choose the coolest way to kill them

[slender karma]

Makes me think of that one scene where Daffy gets his bill blown around his head

[meager kayak]

you also mentioned h3 which I also play a lot of

@coarse helm h3vr, hot dogs horseshoes and hand grenades

gun simulator vr game

very fun

[coarse helm]

Ohhh, even the title just sounds like chaos lol, is it any good?

its amazing

the main dev, anton hand, also releases a devlog (almost) every friday

A video i saw recently

[subtle hare]

How do I get more rifle ammunition in the original dying light?

[inland oasis]

geralt took one for the team for this shot

[inland oasis]

i think shopkeepers sell ammunition, like the guy at the tower. Not the qtrmaster

by your stash

[subtle hare]

Thanks

[summer elm]

https://tenor.com/view/deadpool-and-wolverine-henry-cavill-cavillrine-cavilrine-gif-9626823379068709359

[subtle hare]

I think I got my first gun to early in dying light cause I was doing the Rais mission where you go find the lost patrol, and I killed a guy who dropped his rifle so I don’t know if I should’ve had one by then or not

[inland oasis]

ammo in dying light 1 is intended to be rare, at least unless you have the money to afford it. which eventually is what happens, and youll use guns alot. dying light 2 they strayed away from gun combat alot more.

at least in my case, i used a shotgun a lot

[subtle hare]

I like cutting zombies heads off with a sword. Also if it’s meant to be rare then why can I craft arrows for the dlc bow so easily?

I get that arrows are conventionally easier to make then gunpowder bullets

[inland oasis]

im loading up my old dying light save to see what i can remember :3

ik i deff exploited on it

[subtle hare]

I got it like last week on my switch for like ten bucks

[inland oasis]

like i can drop nearly millions of 10k wallets for people at a time

[subtle hare]

Platinum edition

[subtle hare]

Those sure are words

[inland oasis]

there used to be dupe glitches back in the day

[subtle hare]

I’m glad there isn’t a limit for what you can carry when it comes to materials and valuables

[inland oasis]

kyle crane is such a badass lol. compared to aiden from #2

[subtle hare]

He’s sonic the hedgehog

[inland oasis]

holy shit i forgot the controls and everything to this xD

[tranquil glen]

Sanik go brrr but it’s sanik faster than flash

[barren sparrow]

From what I have seen they will eventually "discharge" completely

When they zap each other they build a meter that will eventually reset the timer, but they don't zap frequently enough for it to be perptum mobile

Avowed has a bunch if other problems tho

Sometimes when you zap water it won't hurt you, sometimes it does, might be caused by enemies you zapped zapping water so the game doesn't count it as caused by you so it zaps you too idk

I finished it, I don't remember how many hours I put into it.

I restarted a couple of times to try different playstyles and mechanics

You get your final level at the very end, you also can find some really interesting gear that you can use only for one fight really. Provided you didn't told the final boss that they suck bc they spontaneously combust and skip the fight (you can respec before the fight to pass ability checks 👍 )

I had a lot of fun with combat and exploration, some locations look cool and it feels good to see the world of Eora from 1st person perspective

Tho after finishing the game it feels like a demo

I think that might be where my adventure with this game ends, I dont feel like replaying it, It doesn't seem like any subsequent playthrough will be any different

1. Arrive at the map
2. Grab a companion
3. Do all side content/grab items for your build
4. Progress main mission a bit to unlock a new map

Repeat

(Ranger tree perk that gets you more upgrade materials and another that makes crafting higher tier ones cheaper trivialised the game on Path of the Damned Difficulty as you can easily outpace enemies even before entering a new area)

[mental rose]

So the main quest is very short?

[barren sparrow]

Yeah. It's very short

Like, there are 4 (4 and a half?) Areas in the game

And for example in the second area you find a person that has info for you, run an erand for them, go to a temple, do a dungeon and you are done with main plot for this area

Tbh, all of the 4 play like that

1. Locate your objective
2. You can't complete your objective bc of unforseen circumstances
3. Run an errand
4. Do a dungeon

Next area unlocked 🎊

Tbh if you count price of the game as 1 month of game pass to play it and then forget it, it's not a bad deal

Tho whoever thought it's worth a 70$ price tag is probably bad at math

[barren sparrow]

You can also check out other games

Avowed made me reinstall pillars of eternity and I feel like that game finally clicked for me

[inland oasis]

https://medal.tv/games/the-witcher-3/clips/jM4kxACLG6TXcIGOS?invite=cr-MSxwZE0sMTY4MzE4NDcxLA

Geralt you absolute SAVAGE xD

[winter yew]

Hell yeah pillars is peak
Lots of player choice
As early as the castle dungeon you can tackle it 3 different ways

[barren sparrow]

Yeah. The furthest I went was resolving animancy issues

In that big port city

Last time I didn't get out of Dyrwood tho :v

So apparently Nomos means "we know" in latin...

Not ominous at all. 😄

[barren sparrow]

NomOS 😋

(in Greek mythology) the daemon of laws and ordinance

[mental rose]

That's even worse. 😅

[coarse swift]

Reminder that Veilguard apparently sold really well

[mental rose]

Meanwhile I don't think Bioware has to this day announced them breaking the 1 million sales mark.

Which is tradition on social media

[coarse swift]

The person to announce it was probably among those fired

[austere lance]

I liked it more than Avowed

It's worth trying, the magic combat is fun af and there's some beautiful locations in the game. Plus the exploration is surprisingly good

It's absolutely not as bad a game as it was made out to be. The "anti-DEI" crowd and hardcore Dragon Age fans attacked it way more than necessary

I played every Dragon Age game+DLCs for the first time the month before Veilguard released because I thought it looked cool and I figured I should finally try the universe out, loved the hell out of them (except Inquisition, I thought that was boring af), then got Veilguard and put 50+ hours into it within two weeks. It's obviously not the best game ever made but it's easily a 7/10

[coarse swift]

Damn with a review like that I can't believe it didn't do well

[austere lance]

☝️

As soon as I saw friggin Asmongold crying about there being an option to be trans I knew what kind of crowd was coming for it

[winter yew]

If your latest entry retcons the original you're going to have a bad time lol
Even without retcons its own story is incoherent they politely give a ghost who isn't really there time to speak during conversations

[austere lance]

I had waaaaay more fun with it than I've had with Avowed tbh

[austere lance]

The Executors? They're not a new concept, they were introduced in Inquisition. "Fantasy Illuminati" is kinda boring but eh, I've seen worse 😆

[winter yew]

They took several charecters and made them moot,took their agency away, took the reason behind their actions away and drew on their face when they were first to fall asleep at the sleepover

Half of why I think da4 sucks is spoilers and I'm not gunna bother with spoiler tagging so idk how much we can discuss lol

#rip loghain

[coarse swift]

I'm sure Veilguard is a good game if you're easy to please and aren't invested in the whole story

[austere lance]

[coarse swift]

I sure love the dialogue from Rook where every choice is a different version of "yes I agree"

[winter yew]

I was in semi enjoyment till the "true ending" if I didn't see that I'd have a better opinion

[coarse swift]

The irony is the bad ending felt better

[austere lance]

I still don't know where people are getting that. You can be stern with people and not baby them, that's what I did. I told the most hated character in the game they need to nut up or shut up and they ended up being way less insufferable because of it, lol

Some people I was nice to, some people I was neutral to, some people I strong armed

[coarse swift]

All that really matters is that you like the game tbh

[austere lance]

If you're just nice to everyone you like never get relationship points with them, lol

[winter yew]

On the gameplay side I preferred the more open world of inquisition too

[inland oasis]

I’m watching dungeons and dragons, honor among thieves. I like it so far. Only like 20 mins in

[austere lance]

It's peak and didn't deserve to flop at the box office

[inland oasis]

I mean it’s corny as fuck 💀 but I like it.

[snow zenith]

That's the point, it leans heavy into D&D shenans

[austere lance]

Hell yeah, lol

[inland oasis]

That’s why I like it. I imagine it like how it is in a multiplayer game. All these wackjob character

[austere lance]

It acts like a D&D campaign on purpose, the director said so iirc 😆

[inland oasis]

Fast and furious lady in it too, gonna save some FAMILY

“I will not be complicit with the illicit use of ill gotten booty”

That’s a bar 💀

[mental rose]

Bruh, even the Rogue Trader is not exempt from the Imperium's byrocracy...
This is some Futurama-level shit

[inland oasis]

Option 3 of course 🙂

[mental rose]

Couches and tea for my companions. Much better.

[inland oasis]

Technically they are above the law of the imperium. They carry the lexicanum, which iirc is a document decreed by none other than the emperors word himself therefore cannot be overruled

In short you have a paper saying “the emperor said so” lmao

Within reason ofc

[mental rose]

I think you mean the Warrant of Trade, but you are correct.

Rogue Traders have some crazy freedom

Especially since ours is heavily hinted at to have been signed by the Emperor himself

[inland oasis]

Oh yea, lexicanum is the lore universe not the document woops

I’m pretty sure they can even ignore inquisitors however usually don’t as it’s just more of a pain in the ass that way than just complying. However I don’t really know where the lines drawn as far as an inquisitor detaining a rogue trader, or if they can

Because of said document earlier

Like I think they can ask for compliance

But it’s not expected, however with the inquisition it deff is expected

To anyone else

Similarly to custodes not needing to really listen to anybody but themselves

[mental rose]

That's the fun part. Lord Inquisitor himself of this sector has apparently sanctioned my actions and is willing to tolerate choices that might usually be classified as.... radical, as the game puts it. 😄

[austere lance]

I want a third person RPG where you're a Rogue Trader exploring the universe, it'd be cool as shit seeing everything in the CRPG up close

[inland oasis]

I’d love a space warhammer game like bannerlord

[snow zenith]

wym just zoom in

kek

[inland oasis]

Both perspectives

The whole choose a faction, overhead map view, having actual wars, sieges, raids of towns, etc. it’s like a perfect system for 40k. There’s whole conversions mods to do it but idk how to do all that

[fleet moat]

i know you didn't ask, but with zero conext, i like it too

[inland oasis]

I’m waiting for the moment the characters “lock in” and get serious but this got me giggling over such dumb stuff every 15 mins. Like why’d I laugh at that

FAT DRAGON

OMG

[mental rose]

This was a bad idea... 😰

Now every commoner is gonna come to me fishing for favors just so I can get through the queue faster

[inland oasis]

Sounds like a waste of very valueable rogue traders time. I’d put down the next person who’d feel the urge to ask for something. I think that’d prevent any others too :3

LMFAOOOOOOO

[orchid fox]

Thus, they submitted the 10-hour “The Complete Story of Destiny! From Origins to Final Shape! Light & Dark Saga Lore & Timeline” by YouTuber MynameisByf and “Destiny 2: The Red War All Cutscenes (Season 1)” by “the Destiny “superfan” and YouTube content creator, @DestinL” to help make their case. They are Exhibits B and C in Bungie’s motion to dismiss.

An incredible unexpected downside

notg even base video

THEY SUBMITTED BYFS 10H SUMMARY VID

[winter yew]

I was a beta tester for destiny one and it was so fun lol

Idk how the series crumbled so vastly

Weren't we supposed to get destiny 4 by now going by the old roadmap

but forcing the attournety teams ass to sit through a fucking 10h lore video even for a legal matter is a stretch lol

@snow zenith @austere lance implying my joke meant the attorney only watched that 10h video once. Which in hindsight is usually watching several times for cross reference now that i think in hindsight 💀

My only shit i can reply to that

"so ye about Destiny 3 ye we are scraping that to endlessly build onto d2"
"Oh ps4 eats 100 gig due Osiris warming and red war? Aight to the pyre with it the players concent doesnt matter they already revoked that right when they signed runs as its just a liscense as always.its not played anyway what does it matter?"

"The fuck do u mean we are back to square one? And a WORSE case than square one... On ps5? Why the fuck did we nuke warmind forsaken Osiris and redwar the ? Oh ok time to gaslight players yet again and make seasons but not actually seasons and make it considerably worse. they are blind anyway they wont see a difference"

Is how i see bungies actions since shadowkeep/beyond light basically

I adored that game now i couldnt care less if the game actually burned to the point of Sony having to shut d2 down tbh lol

Are you sure about that?

[finite shadow]

For Metro Exodus, If my saves corrupt again [Happened even without mods] What should I check in general to see on how to solve it?

• Downloaded via Steam

At first I was confused but I'm curious as what to do

[mellow dune]

Corrupted save? Odd

Can I ask if you were playing the main story or DLC?

[finite shadow]

main story

Was during the bridge part at the literal end of the First section of the game

[mellow dune]

Did you crash? Which then resulted in save file corruption

[finite shadow]

That's the thing, I didn't crash but it was on every single file

[mellow dune]

I'm almost tempted to say it's a hardware issue

What sort of drive are you using to store your game on

[finite shadow]

Was playing on a broken laptop at the time...

[mellow dune]

Oh yea that'll do it

[finite shadow]

But was asking because I had just saved over a Corrupted save just now on a fully functional laptop some hours ago

(Playing pretty far rn but it's worrying)

[mellow dune]

Eeesh probably shouldn't do that

You should've deleted the save entirely and saved in a clean slot

[finite shadow]

Dunno which it was

[mellow dune]

Yea file corruptions can happen for a dozen reasons and saving a new thing over it is the worst thing you can do

Since the issue may still persist

[finite shadow]

still gives me the warning even going to the main menu yet doesn't really give anything else besides that. I'd verify files but think it'll just corrupt it all

[mellow dune]

Verifying the files won't corrupt anything

You might lose your corrupted save

But verification just goes

"Hey this files broken"
"I'll download a new file to replace it."

[finite shadow]

so best to do it?

[mellow dune]

It's a start

I've never had my Metro Exodus corrupt itself on PC and Console

So I'm applying general fixing knowledge

[finite shadow]

Will do it when it happens again

Been over 5 hours since the first it happened, 10 minutes since the second so

Hi #bsky! Feels like the world is on fire right now and we all deserve some digital hugs. ❤️

I'd like to share a #wholesome project that means a lot to me. A story about a stone Golem and a cute little Fox who set out on a journey to save the planet. 🌍🌱

Can't complete with a lot of the bigger titles here in budget, but got its heart in the right place. 🙂

[austere lance]

This and Slime Rancher 1 and 2 are my favorite chill games out rn

[lament hinge]

I've had Slime Rancher on my list to play for such a long time tbh.

[austere lance]

It's amazing!

Second one is great too

[lament hinge]

I genuinely might put in some time over the weekend. It just looks like so much fun.

[frigid yarrow]

Medieval Europe in strategy games, you love to see it

[tranquil glen]

BROTHA FOR ROK N STONE

[tranquil glen]

ngl the only question I have bout that is if Ubisoft closes, would I stil be able to play my AC games if I own them all? (and if steam would get em downloaded as well)

[austere lance]

Nothing? The studio is just gonna get bought out by a different company

Well, studios. There's a LOT of Ubisoft sub studios

[tranquil glen]

if it were going bankrupt which is what I last heard why would another company try to buy it?

[austere lance]

Because of their IP catalogue, which is massive

Ubi is gonna get bought out, idk by who tho. And it's gonna be because of how many IPs they have

[winter yew]

Microsoft would probably foot a bill like that

Join Bethesda under their umbrella

[snow zenith]

I've played a bit, still explorin'

They cookin'

[frigid yarrow]

HOW COME I DIDN'T KNOW THIS GAME WAS A THING

[snow zenith]

Napoleon TW? One of my favourites

[frigid yarrow]

yep

my first time trying out one in the first place XD

[snow zenith]

I still remember the trailer

[frigid yarrow]

i always thought this game was just the maps lol

and damn

[snow zenith]

It's a great little game

[frigid yarrow]

indeed!

[snow zenith]

I remember doing Waterloo's historical battle scenario on hard (?) as the British, and it really was "a damn near close-run thing"

[frigid yarrow]

there they go, it's like watching a movie

[snow zenith]

https://tenor.com/view/fire-volley-fire-british-guns-muskets-guns-gif-8368247918531492586

Now you're making me want to reinstall

I hope they do a Napoleon or Empire 2 sometime

[frigid yarrow]

ITS 100% WORTH IT

[snow zenith]

I remember once being really sick interned at the hospital for 2 or 3 weeks and playing that and Imperial Glory for hours

[frigid yarrow]

RAAAAAAAHH

the iberian urge to send 100 men on horses to a certain death, nah, this game is a time killer

[snow zenith]

Lmao, just keep in mind that unlike modern TWs, morale and fatigue are really important

Cavalry is devastating if used right

And nevermind mass artillery duels, that can make or break a battle before the infantry even meets

It's really good

Once a battle came down to a single artillery piece and an infantry unit, thank God for shrapnel shot xD

[frigid yarrow]

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[frigid yarrow]

i noticed XDDD

[snow zenith]

damn it, fine Joan xD

[frigid yarrow]

THAT'S THE WAY IT SHOULD BE

RAAAAAAH

THAT'S THE STUFF, RETREAT, FRENCH SCUM, GO BACK TO PARIS WITH THOSE BAGUETTES

THAT'S IT, JUAJUAJUA

[austere lance]

Joan shouldn't be allowed near Mount & Blade Bannerlord if TW has them acting like this, lol

[snow zenith]

He'd be crazy enough to charge a castle on his own and promptly get an arrow to the face 😆

[austere lance]

God I miss sieges

I think I like Warband more than Bannerlord tho, twas a simpler time

[inland oasis]

https://medal.tv/games/mount-blade-ii/clips/iBfYzklGMy1DF5pGC

RAMPAGE!!

[slender karma]

Yer money or yer life!

I was thinking about reinstalling Bannerlord. Man why did I have to check this channel lol

[coarse swift]

pretty much crashes day 1, k thats kinda normal nowadays
cant run without latest drivers (then update the driver dipshit)
people finding out Capcom does mtx

I agree character edit shouldnt require vouchers, but thats what Capcom has always done

[orchid fox]

Thats not even a new thing

Are people genuinely upset due to being so fucking obliviously blind lol

Not like that shit is expensive lol

[coarse swift]

also never felt the need to buy one

they usually get handed out for free

[austere lance]

Something something wait a year to buy the game cheaper with more content and hopefully better performance, lol

[coarse swift]

this is some of the most comical shit ever

GTAV gets an enhanced version on consoles years ago and PC only gets it just now

only Rockstar could pull off bullshit like that

[austere lance]

Wait til you have to wait a year for GTA VI on PC like you had to for V, lol

[orchid fox]

sony obligation

[finite shadow]

Replaying Metro Exodus

Why is it soo Terrifying at start

I've played the other two games and I can never get over the fear

Hate dark Tunnels

[inland oasis]

tbh that world/verse is SO well done. i dont even have that fear yet ive been hesitant to explore some spots in that cuz the ambience is so creepy

and when walking thru webs, the one that skitters over your face n arm. i HATE that

[dry copper]

Didn't Ubisoft say people have to get used to not owning their games? Pretty sure that's what we call "Forshadowing"

[dry copper]

I thought it was going to be them returning the shit they removed from the game, then calling that enhanced

It's bullshit that I can't buy the whole mini series Band of Brothers on youtube

[subtle hare]

@inland oasis hey do you know where J is in dying light? Apparently he has ammunition. I checked the tower and they weren’t selling any

[inland oasis]

Idek who that is. The only one I know of is jai, but he’s in dying light 2.

[inland oasis]

https://dyinglight.fandom.com/wiki/Ammunition_(Dying_Light)

ammo guide

[subtle hare]

Thanks

[mental rose]

Rise also had crashes regularly early on. Surprisingly the issue was related to Windows power settings. 😄

[orchid fox]

Windows wonky shit i can attest for

As i experienced that shit first hand

[dry copper]

Gene Hackman and wife dead under suspicious circumstance

[idle saffron]

Extremely suspicious

Open door, everyone dead

[dry copper]

The dog was dead too

[inland oasis]

even the dog...

yea :/

[idle saffron]

They can go ahead and call it more than suspicious

[dry copper]

I suspect carbon monoxide poisoning

[inland oasis]

ngl, gasleaks would look suspicious.

[dry copper]

They said they found no immediate signs of it, but if the door was open the signs would be gone

[inland oasis]

my first thought was that an entire home filling up would be pretty substantial. as most cases, its people just in there car, in there garage

[dry copper]

My thought is the house did fill up, hackman turned off the cause (possibly a stove) opened the door to clear the air, his wife fell, he came back to get her out and he succumbed too

The gas would dissipate with the door opened

[inland oasis]

that wouldnt be carbon monoxide tho. wouldnt that be propane lol

carbon monoxide is from running a car lol

[dry copper]

If you leave the stove on, the byproduct of burning gas in the stove is carbon monoxide

[inland oasis]

im pretty sure u could leave a burner on all day and it not affect anything. idk the concentrations but typically by the time a fire outputs more co2 than the house has in it is when it ON fire lol

hense hit the ground and crawl out

[orchid fox]

God damn i didnt expect the kingpin of steam to be almost usurped this fast

[inland oasis]

didnt it JUST release

[orchid fox]

An odd 200k

[orchid fox]

7h ago yes

Wilds released 6am my time

[inland oasis]

well then yea, its got a whole week or 2 in the honeymoon phase lol

[orchid fox]

Its now 13

[orchid fox]

Its never the less shocking

Given most havent even finished dl

As with high res that shit is over 130

[inland oasis]

to me i dont get shocked when a big titles gets big numbers. especially on release day. what impresses me is if they RETAIN that

[orchid fox]

And most third worlds etc cant dl that fast

Hell Ive waited 5h and only reached 70%

[mental rose]

People be voting with their wallets

[inland oasis]

GTA6 is literally gonna break the world for a day

[orchid fox]

The series isnt even that bad

The ticket shit is nothing new

[inland oasis]

i havent spent a cent on monster hunter worlds. lol

plus, you can mod it...since its a singleplayer/online game

[mental rose]

Monster hunter was exclusive to Playstation for the longest time.
Then came World and brought it to Xbox and PC, and BLAM

[orchid fox]

My friend saw review saying he blackscreen and g ashed his pc and that shit wasnt even 20min after release so me and my friends call bullshit lol

[orchid fox]

Cough

[inland oasis]

i would love to live in the era of gaming where exclusivity is extinct

[orchid fox]

Rise: "am i a joke to u?"

Was tendo exclusive

For over a year

[mental rose]

Rise isn't bad either.

That's 2 games of the franchise everywhere now.

[inland oasis]

i never enjoyed exlusivity. gamers unite. lol.

[mental rose]

Though Switch would probably combust trying to run World. 😄

[orchid fox]

I recon reason wilds aint on switch is due to that shit dying outright

[inland oasis]

id assume game engine limitations with the hardware

[dry copper]

If their servers even support the influx

[mental rose]

What I meant to say was that World was the first game that brought the franchise to the broader audience.
And it broke bank because of it.

[inland oasis]

seriously its gonna become a international holiday.

[dry copper]

I hope GTA6 has an offline mode

[inland oasis]

GTA6 launchday

[inland oasis]

oh it better

[orchid fox]

Im not fond of it either but no dev deserve getting lynched over it in essense even less so threats that i commonly see gamers do

Reminder devs are humans too, do constructive critisicm to them or just shut up hobestly

[inland oasis]

i just dont understand how CEO's look at the market and go "yep lets limit our customer base" even with how greedy as fuck they are

like you could market to EVERYONE

but no

[orchid fox]

Dont hatemonger in reviews

[mental rose]

PS fanboys apparently aren't happy to lose their exclusivity.
Me from watching reaction vids

[inland oasis]

i wish we could have xbox players helldive with us pc and ps players

[orchid fox]

Also for moderators sake this isnt me being hostile in just tired of the dev treatment that regrettably is the norm

[dry copper]

I got KCD2 yesterday. Haven't played it yet. Gunna finish KCD1 first.

[mental rose]

Alan Wake 2 is STILL Epic-exclusive...

[inland oasis]

its true, devs get alot of shit for things they dont decide. its over there paygrade and execs get away scott free while devs take the heat cuz everyone assumes the person who made it is in charge

which is inherently wrong

they should be

[orchid fox]

Ive games for 75% of my life and i can wholeheartedly say i despite the behavior that has festered the industry

Hence the "if u dont review with constructive critisicm even if negative kindly shut up in entirety statement" but then again thats not how humans roll....

[dry copper]

Mickey 17 is a cool idea for a movie

[fiery elm]

i said top 10 not top 70😭

[orchid fox]

I just hate how hatred is the most instant reaction to most even if its not deserved

[orchid fox]

Yes the irony in that line isnt lost on me

[lost epoch]

Alright my top 5 favorite games of all time cause I don't wanna list 10
-Super Mario Galaxy (nostalgia glasses)
-Tloz: Tears of the Kingdom
-Titanfall 2
-No Man's Sky
-Outer Wilds

I thought this up in less than 5 minutes so I may be forgetting a game here

[fiery elm]

The lelda of zelda: breath of the weath

never heard of titanfall

[lost epoch]

Many haven't 😭

[orchid fox]

Hope im making sense ^^' @inland oasis

[lost epoch]

It's the best FPS movement shooter of all time

[fiery elm]

oh looks cool

[lost epoch]

Basically

People play Battlefield and COD when really they should all be playing Titanfall 2

But oh well

Life isn't fair

[wooden crane]

( carrying on conversation from nms chat ) Mainly, the reason LBP is my favorite game and why I have LBP in my name tag, is because I love creating music in it.

[fiery elm]

atleast its not $80 like a lot of games

[lost epoch]

It's actually so underrated that it goes on sale for almost nothing sometimes

[fiery elm]

😭

[lost epoch]

It's like pocket change to buy it

[fiery elm]

beautiful

[lost epoch]

Thats so cool!!

[wooden crane]

Thanks 😊

[lost epoch]

Very creative

[fiery elm]

do you play LBP on nintendo or ps

[wooden crane]

LBP is ps exclusive ( unfortunately. Sony is greedy )

[fiery elm]

well ive never had a nindeto

[lost epoch]

Gives me major Mario Kart vibes!

[wooden crane]

It's on PS3 PS4 and PS5

[fiery elm]

yeah

are there three games?

[wooden crane]

Best experience is LittleBigPlanet 2

[fiery elm]

k

[wooden crane]

The 3rd one is EXTREMELY buggy

[fiery elm]

oh it got removed from the ps store in late 2024

but discs still work

[wooden crane]

Physical copy is cheap ( should be I think )

[fiery elm]

wait did you say the second game was best

[lost epoch]

Damn it didn't sell very well did it?

[fiery elm]

ohhh

the thrint got removed

[wooden crane]

Yes. It was originally made by MM Studio and the second was the most polished. A different studio ( Sumo Digital ) made the 3rd one and it was very buggy

The 2nd and 3rd one have the music maker and more features for create mode

[fiery elm]

do you play it on ps5 cus it says it doesn't support it

[wooden crane]

I am playing on LBP3 on PS5. Because LBP3 was also released on PS4.

But I also have 1 & 2 on my PS3 I still use

[fiery elm]

oh ok

[lost epoch]

Ps5 has backwards compatibility with ps4?

[fiery elm]

yeah but not ps3 games

[lost epoch]

I see

Doesn't seem like they're selling many consoles compared to previous gens

I think it's getting more picked up now tho

[fiery elm]

the ps6 will be announced in 2026 i think

or 2027

[lost epoch]

Hmmm

I don't think that's a wise decision

[fiery elm]

yeah a lot of people dont like it

they say its too early

[lost epoch]

I'm just excited to see what Nintendo has in mind for the Switch 2

[fiery elm]

yeah it looked cool

[wooden crane]

I'm probably gonna get one. I've never owned one and there are many games I want to play

[lost epoch]

They're very aware of how risky it is to make a console sequel instead of something brand new

[fiery elm]

yeah it has so many exclusives

[lost epoch]

So I think they wanna have a big game to go with it on launch

Just like the Switch had BOTW ported

[fiery elm]

yeah it's gonna have a new mk game

[lost epoch]

Sure but they need something big you know

BOTW was that big thing

[mental rose]

Bruh, MK1 Switch edition was/is(?) such a meme. 😄

[lost epoch]

Mario Kart, not Mortal Kombat my dude

[mental rose]

Oh

[fiery elm]

i've heard of mortal kombat but i dont know anything about it

[lost epoch]

Really???

[fiery elm]

is it a dungeon crawler

or something ike that

[lost epoch]

Wow, thats insane to hear ngl

[mental rose]

No, it's a fighting game

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxsNnUAyfd4

[wooden crane]

Never played it but I've watched a buddy of mine play it. I'm absolutely TERRIBLE at fighting games lol

[lost epoch]

Mortal Kombat was THE fighting game franchise back on the ps2, the genre was basically synonimous with it

[wooden crane]

PS2 was the goat. It had so many great games

[lost epoch]

True

Shadow of the Colossus still ranks on my top 10 favorite games of all time

[wooden crane]

Star wars battlefront 2 on PS2 with galactic conquest mode. Oh man. Me and my brother played that so much

[lost epoch]

Yes even the ps2 version

[mental rose]

The franchise is even older than that 😉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7F82XAvCuVc

[fiery elm]

shadow of the colossus rings a bell

[lost epoch]

I know, but ps2 was THE gaming platform at the time, and Mortal Kombat was THE MOST popular fighting game franchise of the time

[wooden crane]

Burnout 3 takedown on PS2 was so much fun.

[mellow dune]

I miss PS2 ratchet and clank

[mental rose]

Ok, fair

[lost epoch]

what....? 💀

[wooden crane]

Ratchet and Clank Deadlocked was one of my favs

[mental rose]

I played this back then, think it was a launch title for PS2

[lost epoch]

Am I old? Is this what it's like?

[fiery elm]

i remember playing oh what was it called kung fu panda showdown of legendary legends i think its called with my friend on his ps4

[fiery elm]

depends on how old you are

[mental rose]

Also.

[lost epoch]

Well of course haha

[fiery elm]

dang

[wooden crane]

My childhood right here

[mental rose]

I see NFS there

[lost epoch]

Absolutely based collection

[mental rose]

My friend was a huge car fan. He was so addicted to these.

[idle saffron]

Fuck I'm old

Bai

[lost epoch]

I was a Wii kid lol, can't relate much

[orchid fox]

Bye ancient one (i gest)

[fiery elm]

farewell ancient one

[orchid fox]

Gleam dont smite me 😂

[lost epoch]
