[lapis thicket]

What old games yall playing latley?

Im starting over on Valhalla Knights 2, a very peculiar action rpg on psp that I love to pieces.

[orchid fox]

ompletely forgot that was a thing

lol

[orchid fox]

ffxiv lol

i play it "a bit"

[lapis thicket]

I tried that out for a hood while. Quite fun for an mmo, sadly the action bar controls aggravated the hell out of my hands and wrists so I didn't stick with it.

[orchid fox]

eh?

u played controller or keyboard?

[lapis thicket]

Controller

[orchid fox]

okay ye those are. pecculiar to use

i tried but wernt f it returning to m and kb

i have a mouse with 12 side keys so

[lapis thicket]

Ahh

I like the action bar system on controller, the problem is is I quickly ran out of space, and to have enough space I had to set the ui up where it was hold instead of toggle, even though toggle is prefferable cause of arthritis. But you HAVE to have it on hold to utilize all the skill bars.

[orchid fox]

that is a negative i suppose

with arthritis people

not a thing u can unbind or change sadly

[lapis thicket]

Ye. C'est la vie.

[orchid fox]

u wanna know a funny thing?

ffxiv is arguably the most alt char unfriendly mmo on the market

yet i do this process more than once

lol

[lapis thicket]

Same. Not on there ofc but I am a wicked bad altoholic lol

[orchid fox]

ur alts cannot interact share or send each other stuff uindere any circumstance btw in this game

unless u get 3 randoms to mmake an fc (guild) and throw them into said fc

there is no shared vault or whatever tf wow has otherwise

no shared estate either otherwise

housiong is finite per world server as well

at least proper houses

[lapis thicket]

Huh, thats kinda wild. I rarely make alts with the purpose if item exchanging though, I just like to have dedicated characters to learning all the different ways to play a game, and maybe find some fun unintended ones.

[orchid fox]

ik im just saying it as thats a net negative for many new players

that tend to quit fast

(mainly old wow players but still)

[lapis thicket]

I gotcha

[orchid fox]

oh right regarding the housing

if u dont enter the estate if u own it for 45 days shit gets auto demolished

but u get 6 urgent email warnings as it gets closer

[dry copper]

lol@ urgent emails

[orchid fox]

make sense why dou cuz finite

the mail has urgent in title

lol

[dry copper]

"COME CHECK YOUR HOUSE IT'S GUNNA BLOW UP!"

[orchid fox]

in essense its what it tells u

"demolition immminent"

[dry copper]

It's kinda bs

They don't have to demolish a property. Put that shit in escrow.

Instanced

[lapis thicket]

WHOA thats dumb

[dry copper]

and there's no reason they couldn't do both instanced and live at the same time. Just reserve the instance shit to preserve ownership and don't let people see your instanced property in the main server...First come first served gets their property displayed for everyone to see. If people don't tend to it, someone elses property who is actively playing is visible.

In the game New World, the same property can be owned by dozens of people and displaying a property on the main instance requires players to raise the property quality with furniture etc

You never lose a property, even when you don't pay your rent. It just becomes inaccessible until you pay the rent again, which caps so you're never punished for not playing the game.

Games that punish you for not playing do not deserve your time.

[orchid fox]

they have told us repeatedly they cant cuz funding and givenm its not square themselves doin it but a soborinate devteam
and the fact they ´couldnt do a normal mode but slapped a savage 48man and shipped it due to the director himself saying "we couldnt cuz we arent given enough funding by square enix" i do believe em with that

as this is the same compooany making over 12 live services for over 5 years and promptly axed them without noptice in 2023 or 2024

bar like2

one being foam stars (god what a catastrophe that one was)

dou kinda ass backwards they dont give enough funding for te one game that literally keeps the lights on

but alas

[dry copper]

But would you play a FF that was online and had nothing to do with square enix?

[orchid fox]

honestly? if same state. yes. lol

but they own ip so lol

[dry copper]

I could see them licensing the IP for MMO with another label, like Tencent

or Funcom

[orchid fox]

um, they have already lol

no tencent

[dry copper]

Netease has been very agressive the last 2 years in the mmo subgenre

[orchid fox]

it has better system than proper xiv which is silly

pc and console? 2 dye channels?

[dry copper]

lol...Tencent. Figures

[orchid fox]

[orchid fox]

i dont really follow mmop news bar 14 what makes u say that tbh

curious

[dry copper]

You're the one that suggested netease, hence my question.

My comment about netease being aggressive is regarding their expanding library

Netease library includes Naraka, Destiny Rising, Marvel Mystic Mayhem, EVE, Once Human and now Ananta.

They're very aggressive in their partnerships to develop mobile options for their titles and expand their libraries

I've never seen a company move so quickly to expand mobile gaming

Depends on context

Hey everyone, I make War Thunder mods. Check them out, download them, and leave a thumbs up.

This is clearly meant to be self-promotion, but if you share a link, for example, as part of a conversation relevant to War Thunder because that's something you made and would like to share with the community, it would be different.

I don't trust the military at any rank. It does not surprise me one bit that it leaks like a sieve.

[mellow dune]

The funny part is its by actual service men

[dry copper]

What's alarming is that this information is either not properly classified or people without classification are being given access to classified documents. I suspect it is the latter and that the entire system is compromised.

Fight with the Chaos Spawn on Daring Difficulty. I had Steam set to keep only 10min of recording so the start of combat got cut off, but I used psyker staff lightning to kill 2 cultists at the start. I'm a bit rusty but I still killed all cultists without letting spawn use them for healing

I had no idea this channel existed. I muted a bunch of channels when I joined 😂

[barren sparrow]

I'm also curious if this is something added in one of the patches/DLC, bc I don't remember Chaos Spawn getting this buff

[mint bridge]

If I remember, I'll start a new save Wednesday and check for you. I'm curious about things also

[barren sparrow]

I mean the prerequisite for it to trigger is rather specific, a single attack has to deal at least 15% of it's max HP, so maybe I just never hit it that hard

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Restarting when you have better grasp on mechanics is alright, just be careful to not fall a victim to restartitis

[mint bridge]

15% of his hp is kind of a lot that early

[mint bridge]

I don't think I've made any choices one would necessarily regret tho
If I was gonna restart it would be too balance ranged and melee a bit better

But I gave my PC a shotgun so Imma get close either way

[dry copper]

Tried out the mafia 2 dlc. By far the worst DLC for a full sized game I have ever played.

It's basically bastardizing the main game to create a gimmicky arcade mode with horrible writing

Count on the losses. Some of them private equity firms serve the Trumps

EA has sold its soul.

Not to say that it was worth 55 billion.

...or that it even still existed anymore

On the plus side: Lots of people keep their jobs.

People that would be hurt if EA simply went bankrupt.

Oh...and it's not like EA personally gets 55 billion. That's how much it costs to go private.

$17,070,000 payout to State Street Corporation
..and so on and so forth. 1,515 institutions own shares of the company and that's where a significant portion of this buyout went.

This buyout to go private looks like Saudi Arabia is trying to move a lot of money into US coffers and generate a lot of tax revenue over a very short period.

To me it just looks like a fat economy giving a chicken leg to another fat economy in exchange for a gun.

You can tell if a game is good before beating it

you can form an opinion before completing a game, just as you have

[dry copper]

Charlie makes some good points here

Expect MTX

[dusky pumice]

well in v1 of NMS i didnt review it until i had warped hundreds of tiems to get to the center and really got the feel of the game in about 200hrs. but thats not how skillsong is being reviewed.

[obtuse reef]

but you're doing the same thing you're condemning

[dusky pumice]

i think what the devs have done is paid some social marketing company to get the game trending kinda viral which got it to where it is

[dry copper]

You can tell if a game isn't for you without even picking it up.

[dusky pumice]

yea mostly bc shills have been spaming about the game nonstop on /v/ for the last few weeks

[obtuse reef]

Okay, but silksong was highly anticipated before anything because Hollow Knight was just a game people liked

[dry copper]

I was one of the founding supporters for 7D2D....and that game suuuucks now

[dusky pumice]

i dont even play 2D side scrollers. im a high graphics only kind of gamer.

[inland oasis]

If you don’t like 2D scroller games in the first place why tf did you even get it in the first place just to hate on it?

hating the game itself is much different from hating the community's opinion about said game

[mint bridge]

Dead horse and all that but that screams skill issue 😂

[orchid fox]

Amen lol

[analog hamlet]

On the topic of silksong, more damage from enemies doesn't equal harder, it's just being annoying. The amount of enemies and bosses that deals two damage is far more high than hollow knight, where only few enemies and bosses deals two damage. No, the three mask heal doesn't compensate enough for this. Your effective number of hp in early game becomes three with them all, and only becomes four at your seventh mask. Sure, deeper in the game you get more efficient healing.
On the other hand, the game's platforming is quite nice, it is a bit hard at first but it becomes smooth with the time. Most bosses have readable paterns, and compared to hollow knight, they don't all teleport left and right all the time. (Although some of them do. One is a perfect dynamic and brutal fight i liked to do because it was challenging and fast paced, the other is just hell.)
Nice spells, nice tools, crests have pretty decent move sets and specificities, map is way bigger than hollow knight, and that's amazing, just don't get lost lmao. Quests are fun and all, some deliveries are fun, some others are hell with the distance they ask you to make.

[winter yew]

https://tenor.com/view/death-stranding-deathstranding-sam-porter-bridges-sam-bridges-true-gif-15259062070190122000

[analog hamlet]

In hollow knight, these enemies had a purpose, a sudden spike of difficulty, in a located area. In silksong, since they're almost everywhere what's the point?

I've seen someone did a mod for silksong that removes the double damage... to replace it with triple damage instead.

Although with some ennemies you can have your hp melted to oblivion in seconds

Because invincibility frames are badly handled in some instances

[mint bridge]

Now this is a review

[analog hamlet]

Played quite a lot of Metvanias, my favorite to this day still is Sundered though

Mostly because i'm a mazochist that did the resist run in insane difficulty

[tranquil glen]

Have you played the original metroidvania tho

[analog hamlet]

Sadly no, i could only play super metroid and the remake of the second on the 3ds

I started when my brother had the nintendo online, but he doesn't have it anymore, and honnestly with how nintendo is going i'm not supporting them.

Also did federation force but that's not a metroidvania despite being metroid licensed

[tranquil glen]

Personally dont enjoy metroidvanias, perspective for the most part

[surreal crypt]

There's always Metroid Prime

[mellow dune]

My favourite Metvania are the 2 Ori games

Of those two, Blind Forest is my favourite

Though Will of the Wisps is a brilliant sequel

uhh.. gogmazios coming for TU4

[tranquil glen]

Which is 3d

Not metroidvania afaik

Then again idk how metroidvania is classified

[inland oasis]

Metroid + castlevania 😂 idk

[tranquil glen]

Isnt castlevania 2d platformer only?

[inland oasis]

I always understood the side scrolling platforming as required, but not the art being 2-d. And by that I mean a side scroller can be 3d, not the world map/level itself. And still be a metroidvania

That’s my definition

Like this could be wrong but I consider terraria to be “metroidvania” like.

[tranquil glen]

Eh idk ik theres a difference between factorio and flat games and one between that and 3d but i dont count art for 2d scrollers different than a flat top down game

[inland oasis]

Factorio I don’t consider 2D

[tranquil glen]

Thats cause its 2.5d/isometric

[inland oasis]

Well idk actually. Cuz yea like rimworld

It’s like a hybrid too

[tranquil glen]

Terraria 2d side scroll, fallout 1 ans factorio are 2.5d, fps/3ps is 3d

Ohh

Part of it is utility gear lock

Open ish world with non linesr Exploration (if elden ring as 2d)

[surreal crypt]

It is

Just not 2D

[tranquil glen]

Ok so there are sevwral that arent 2d but most are

Mostly easier to make, and a lot of people prefer the 2D Metroidvanias

[dusky pumice]

the new aliens incursion game for PC that they ported from VR is wildly disappointing. big time upsetting. game released yesterday

very sloppy release

even aliens colonial marines had better xeno AI than this new aliens game released in 2025

and that game is older than NMS

they even dropped the ball with its graphics and it ended up somehhow not looking nearly as good as aliens isolation

as if aliens earth wasnt a big enuogh disaster for the aliens franchise we have this new humiliating game dropped on us

maybe next year we'll get a W

[dry copper]

Alien Rogue Incursion looks like an attempt to turn the alien franchise into a shooter.

Of course it's not going to be like Isolation

Isolation was not a shooter. It was sci-fi horror.

They couldn't even hope to capture Isolation's gameplay in a shooter

[tranquil glen]

Also forgot to mention Fireteam Elite

[dry copper]

Also the aliens in Isolation cheat

They teleport all over the map

[tranquil glen]

Which was a 3 coop shooter

[dry copper]

I have an aliens game I will play sometime...

Dark Descent

I also have fireteam elite but haven't touched it.

No idea where I got it

[obtuse reef]

Fireteam Elite was so disappointing

most of the game was just shooting at androids

[tranquil glen]

It was so short and then support just dropped

[dry copper]

Dark Descent looks interesting

Isometric

You have to manage emotions and regular stats

[tranquil glen]

eh ever since factorio ive not really been a fan of isometric pov

[austere lance]

It's alright, has a mix of Xcom and stealth/running for your life gameplay

[dusky pumice]

i enjoyed fireteam elite despite its forced 3rd person. it felt solid until i ran into a game breaking bug in the DLC you had to keep replaying until u got lucky and were able to continue progression. fun with friends but it is basically dead now

the engineer levels were cool

[tranquil glen]

had to keep replaying, what?

[dusky pumice]

i also got dark descent and am maybe like 1/4th finished with it but im not a big top down game fan

[dusky pumice]

nah i didnt really replay fireteam elite. it was more like maybe just a solid palythru and i was done with it

[tranquil glen]

so a solid playthrough when its meant for multiplayer replayability?

nice

pretty uhh schloppy of you

It wasnt just xbox that crashed tho it was the four major platforms

I think the humor is more geared towards Xbox, though, since they're the ones that are now receiving backlash for the price increase.

Which is entirely separate from wanting a game vs wanting to continue subscription to GP

That mf Aurora kept knocking people over but besides that he was ez

[mental rose]

Aurora isn't even the biggest threat in that fight.
It's that one rebel sniper at the back.

[mint bridge]

He kept missing mine lmao

[mental rose]

ngl tho, that moment when the Wordbearer came stomping out of the fire, I nearly shat myself.
"I have to fight a Space Marine now??"

Was epic af

I need to get back to Rogue Trader now that I got the season pass too.

[barren sparrow]

Aurora used to be a sudden difficulty spike, but I think he got a bit nerfed/player got a bit buffed in one of multiple rebalancing patches

It's not like you couldn't wipe him out with some strategies, but to many players that was a wall too high to jump over

He still is a difficulty spike, but not as much as he used to be

[mint bridge]

I thought it was gonna be a big wall tbh
I'm considering upping the difficulty with how easy it was

[barren sparrow]

What difficulty are you at rn?

[mint bridge]

Idk
Ez pz mode it feels like

[mental rose]

I think I finished my first playthrough on normal

[mint bridge]

Though in the fight before Aurora, Pascal nearly got murdered

[mental rose]

Was thinking of upping it a few times to get the few boss-specific achievements

[mental rose]

Pascal tends to get focused a lot, because he's got the lowest hp wounds

[barren sparrow]

I think I finished one playthrough on hard, but I usually play on daring.

Tho difficulty settings have a lot of sliders you can adjust to you preferences

[mint bridge]

Which one is harder Bjorn?
I obviously had no idea what I was doing from the beginning so I figured normal difficulty would be best

[mint bridge]

Yeah, I seem to recall either Bjorn saying something or the game saying something about being able to reset the perks you chose. Definitely gonna do that and take "It will not die" or whatever it is at his max level

[barren sparrow]

It generally is best for the first playthrough

[mental rose]

Also some players choose to not bring Cassia along, because of how fricking strong she is. 😄

[barren sparrow]

Rogue trader and some other Owlcat games require a rather peculiar approach to their mechanics

Normal offers you opportunities to learn that approach and if you think its too easy you can raise the bar for yourself

[mental rose]

There's certainly a LOT of reading to do

[barren sparrow]

Reading, but also team composition, combinations of perks on characters as well as interaction of them between characters

[mint bridge]

Cassia is a lil crazy. I love the part where she looks at people and they die

[mental rose]

The fact you can find a staff that lets her attack TWICE a turn early on says something. 😂

[inland oasis]

Wish Joel would prank me like this 💀😂

[barren sparrow]

Cassia can be specced into multiple op options, she can drop powerful buffs/debuffs or just wipe enemies herself

Not to mention she ends up having wounds comparable to a damned Space Marine

[tranquil glen]

JOEL WHAT THE FUCK

[mint bridge]

And not once did he open his stratagems. That's a true soldier of democracy

[mint bridge]

I definitely need to redo her, cause I was getting lazy about the level ups tbh.

But the fact that she can give people extra turns instantly is awesome

[barren sparrow]

Every officer can, there is another companion with officer and you can also get a mercenary

Cassia makes for a decent officer, but her navigator powers are dependent on willpower and perception and you can pick up perks which make almost her whole character scale off of it; doge, max wounds, regen per turn, saves, resistances etc.

Officer abilities use fellowship

So while you can make her into a decent officer and she serves well in that role early game, you can get much better use from her if you invest more into navigator powers.

Imo it is also cooler way to play bc navigator powers are pretty unique

You don't get a lot of other opportunities to play with them

[inland oasis]

he musta forgot his autoclicker was on when using the "force spawn" dev command xD

[tranquil glen]

tbh i have know someone that had been able to do something similar with bulk hulks

[dry copper]

I like homework

I did my homework in school before I even went home

The kids that liked good grades were always in the same spot after school so it was easy going to a big study group and doing homework

You could ask questions from peers who were nice

[regal yew]

It’s not hard, it’s just a lot. And doing it outside of school hours is more stressful

[pliant iris]

​I see your point, but for long-term players, it's not so bad. The Lifetime Membership stipend gives you 500 Zen a month, and you can earn a lot in game. Each of your characters can refine up to 8,000 Dilithium per day, which you can then exchange directly for Zen. It just takes time instead of money.

[dry copper]

Yeah. I have about $90 worth of zen collecting dust.

mine was a 1080ti before the 2070 i think

hes got a government job in australia so he gets the best when he decides to upgrade 😂

wish i had a government job lmaao

[inland oasis]

If/when I upgrade I’m just going mildly all out. I’m getting the beefiest card. And a good cpu. And I can keep my m.2 and swap, as well as the 32g of ram I can swap too

Save money ignoring it in the build parts

[mint bridge]

yeah, save a bit of money on the m2 and a decent amount on the ram
im considering trying to save up for a 4080 or something along those lines but i havent decided or had the funds to start

[inland oasis]

I look at it as an investment. I’m probably gonna end up with a pay over time package so it’s now how much it costs, but how LONG will I have to work for lmao

Pay with time in increments rather than in bulk with cash at once

[mint bridge]

absolutely. pay over time would be my only option also, but id like to have a decent amount of it saved up first

[inland oasis]

That’s where I’m at and I still can’t even pull the trigger

[mint bridge]

also rn i have a playground thing im paying until april 😭

[inland oasis]

PCs ain’t cheap lmao

It’s like vehicle shopping

[mint bridge]

but theyre so much nicer than consoless

they glow more and thats a w

[inland oasis]

Consoles are nice but I’ll admit I’ve never gone back to use mine for anything besides Netflix

And YouTube

[mint bridge]

i have a firestick for that tbh
its a little slow but i can also stream my pc to it and that works perfectly

and for the record i have a hunch its my old ass tv that makes it slow. but i cant be sure cause im not buying a new tv

i got it for a huge discount cause it has a tiny chip in the screen

[inland oasis]

Yea my tv is heeeellllaaa old omg. I just realized if had that thing since like 2013

I mean it’s a nice flatscreen 42” but yea, old 😂

[mint bridge]

mines probably similar age. somebody brought it in when i worked at a pawn shop and i bought it knowing id have to pay for it cause it was damaged 🤣

mines like 55-60 something like that

[inland oasis]

Nice I wouldn’t of had a stand for under that big enough 😂

[mint bridge]

i didnt either 🤣

[inland oasis]

I think mines topped at like 60hz refresh tho. And hz is a whole nother thing aside from fps

[mint bridge]

i couldnt pass on that tho

[inland oasis]

When my monitors go up to 144

Like night n day

[mint bridge]

i think hz is basically max fps, but i could be wrong

im probably wrong

[inland oasis]

It’s so hard to explain

Like fps is for smoothness but hz is like the less lag in between each frame

[mint bridge]

i never bothered with hz tbh
if i buy a monitor and have issues ill return it and get a better one

[inland oasis]

More hz then the smoother your fps will feel if that makes any sense

Like with the camera. The jitteryness

Is reduced with higher hz

Not just fps

[mint bridge]

mine are 144 also, and thats about as high as my fps gets on games that matter. stuff like rogue trader, i wouldnt care if it was 30fps

[inland oasis]

Best way to test it I’ve found is with the mouse cursor alone

More hz = less trailing effect

You can watch the cursor more clearly

[mint bridge]

i watch my curser
and its shadow

[inland oasis]

When I jumped from like 30hz up to 144, it’s almost as if it becomes more precise

[mint bridge]

ik exactly what you mean. my first monitor was 30hz or something close.

[inland oasis]

The more I think about it the more it bugs me I can’t find the right words to explain how to visualize it. It’s Moreso felt lmao

My works a traitor. They said democracy has to wait 😭

[tranquil glen]

Nope

Idk how much 4lbs of bread looks like

[dry copper]

2ft long

Used to be the standard

[mint bridge]

It's about 4lbs

[mental rose]

The Forgefiend has such a cool intro to it.

Really showcases how Chaos corrupts through sublety

[mint bridge]

When it came out of the wall? 😂

[mental rose]

Ye

And the entire ship

[mint bridge]

They really did all that for somewhere the player might not even go tbh

Dude I was so shocked by the combat when I finished and turned around that I actually died the first time

[mental rose]

Plenty of wild encounters like that in the game.

[tranquil glen]

Oh no, you can vote without making an account

This won't go well

[orchid fox]

U already know some mfs is gonna abuse vpns

[orchid fox]

The fact some big mmos didnt make it in and mostly "mainstream" games is a bit disappointing

And no i dont consider gta online an mmo in the usual sense lol

[mint bridge]

Is GTA considered an MMO at all?

Is it multiplayer, sure. But I feel like MMO is too generous of a genre description

[austere lance]

I mean, it is. Always-online world full of other players interacting with each other, it has property to buy, it has its own economy, it has events, it has player and gear progression, etc

[tranquil glen]

Its not mmo by the default standard actually, but yea agreed theres so fricking few iconic games, but maybe thats why is cause most are indie

An mmo by default has hundreds to thousands of players in one instance, not 4 coop, not even pvp games of 512 player games (the remastered voxel battlefield is) count

Wow, ESO, New World, I wanna say ff14, probably EverQuest

[split ridge]

Anyone here played Prodeus before?

[tranquil glen]

@verbal plume when u play skate, if/when you alt tab to say chat on discord WHILE your playing, does all the other stuff run like shit?

Like my discord lags behind and i can type way faster than its showing me on discord lol. i mean i know my pc aint that great and its early access, but curious if it is JUST me or if this is one of those bugs.

[mint bridge]

I know Helldivers does that for me, despite my PC being substantial for it.

[inland oasis]

See for me usually the GAME will drop performance to balance out when I alt-tab. Helldivers does lose performance over time for me. The more I change settings or alt tab the worse it feels like it gets till I restart it.

But skate especially seems to ignore it.

[mint bridge]

Helldivers is a game you absolutely should not alt tab
That's when the problems begin.
Does skate drop performance when you alt tab? It may be set to stay at 100% when tabbed out

I can't say for skate, but some games have a setting that does that in options

[inland oasis]

Not sure how the performance stays on skate when I alt tab I just know everything else goes to shit lol.
Usually I think it auto pauses when you alttab also so it’s not like I can visually see, unless I try playing while tabbed onto another window. But I’m making food so too lazy rn 😂

[mint bridge]

If it pauses then usage for it should drop down pretty low. I'll download skate Sunday and find out if it does it for me, just to be nice 😆

[timber shore]

Has anyone played Satisfactory?

I was interested in getting it, curious if it's similar to this game in terms of resources and base building.

The closest game I've played to both NMS and Satisfactory are Subnautica.

[mint bridge]

I played a little satisfactory but I couldn't get into it cause the wholw e point was to play with my buddy
That being said, it seemed like an alright game but I don't know that I'd compare it to NMS. Probably closer to subnautica

I say grab it on steam, if that was your plan. Refund it if you end up not liking it

holy shit I just did something...I didn't expect.

I'm in my ship in jump ship. It has a toilet now...it's awesome....but I noticed a function on the toilet. Flush....

So I used it.

Dude, he did not....I'm freaking out. He shoved my rifle in the toilet and flushed it...it's a DELETE button for gear!

Then I see my rifle floating away in space. I raced out of the ship like a drunk before the beer store closes to get my rifle back

[mint bridge]

Anyone here play Outlaws from 1997m

?*

Because they are doing a remake! And not just for Outlaws, for all the old Lucas Arts games including some of the old Star wars titles

Just an fyi

[mint bridge]

A remake like how they remade demon's souls or a remake like Skyrim 😂

[orchid fox]

I heard rather aight stuff on demon sould remake

Like aight it was t perfect but heard it was good

[mint bridge]

I haven't played it, as I don't have a PS5. But I know it looks good. A better one would been oblivion cause I've played the original and the new one. New oblivion is way different 😂

[orchid fox]

Wasnt Oblivion remake more or less a upsvale

Or mechanically different

[mint bridge]

I'm like 80% sure they changed mechanics a little

But either way, you get the point 😂 is it gonna be a remake or a remaster disguised as a remake

[orchid fox]

Ffvii remake and revirth sipöing juice in the corner silently

All ill say is: if uknow what im on about i dont need to explain

If not: in the most vague way i can phrase it: the "remake" dont follow the og polygon ff game story best for beat

Wish it would be called reimagined not remake

[mint bridge]

It sounds like reimagine would definitely be more accurate

I never played any ff tho

The closest I got to it was kingdom hearts in the ff levels

[orchid fox]

Lets just say the setup in remake to revirth is more or less a massive deviation from source material so thats one of the reason a friend of mine and me take issues with the wrong wording

I haven played it (yet) but own both entries

[orchid fox]

Oh ff and kg is not even comparable reason ff was thrown in is cuz they are the creators

Disney is license owner

[mint bridge]

I know 😂 They're entirely different

[orchid fox]

"i started this day in ffxiv journey fully expecting this to be the game with. The hero goofy in it..... Turns out that was an entirely different ip but same devs held hostage by Disney" - pint

Prob the best summary on ff Kingdom Hearts confusion Ive heard to this day lol

[mint bridge]

I can't process that I'm sorry 😂

My brain shut down I think

[orchid fox]

Lemme see if i can find the video

[austere lance]

Graphics were fully remade in a new engine, they made combat and physics heftier, and they fully revamped the leveling system

[orchid fox]

https://youtu.be/onrX5ZURtek?si=O78V_mUeSESnAhBH
Ignore title the but i remember is first line minute in before forced as read @mint bridge

They also added sprint, if I remember the original correctly

[orchid fox]

"i imagined goofy being a staple on ffxiv franchise"

Everyone seeing this:
"Wrong ip kid"

"good to know technoblade being safe in his old castle" OOF that joke aged poorly now i think

As his death was way after the fact to my memory

[mint bridge]

That's crazy

I liked the goofy movies

[dry copper]

He's a horrible driver.

He's a menace to society

[orchid fox]

And his kid i dont remember that movie fondly lol

Like sure parents care but there is a thing line between talking cuz care and talking to point of spam

Man. Jump Space has so much potential....the bugs are totally killing the vibe

The two bugs that hit me the most are geometry glitches, getting stuck in rocks and in MP getting disconnected.

The MP is pretty sick tho

Felt like I was playing modern warfare in mp
