No idea who that is, but it reminded me of a movie I just watched called "The Life of Chuck"

A weird movie that drags you through the narrative with tantalizing expositions by Nick Offerman and then just out of the blue ends.

[verbal plume]

it's The Flash, from the CW show

people really want him to be The Flash in the DCU

[dry copper]

I mean...He's the only decent one

I wouldn't blame him saying no after the shit he put up with to make the tv show successful

Dude was a machine.

He suffered for years

He did it for the crew that made him

Not a lot of actors will get outside of their comfort zone so crew members have a job

The CGI in that show was hot garbage and he still made it work

I like the theory of what's happening with the Doom entry

Could be an opportunity to bring a new flash

Isn't The Flash a DC character?

How could a DC character enter the MCU?

He's not Spiderman

Though they do make references to Superman in Eternals, so they could already be preparing to take DC characters out of the DCU

[tranquil glen]

Yea Flash + Batman = DCU

Yikes...

It's probably the artist in me

I just like to build shit and roleplay

[native parrot]

I dont think its that (for smps anyway) as much as people playing Minecraft to progress rather than playing it as a sandbox

I almost always build a nice looking house before I even get diamonds, lol

[misty parrot]

I always tend to take function over form in survival. when I'm in creative, I build

[floral tendon]

Mm.

My aversion to work makes me ill suited for sims

[native parrot]

Ill say that in terms of building it is, but the engineering part would be where difficulty comes in

Space engineers actually requires things to have connections

[floral tendon]

I would figure

I only play modded Minecraft so I'm more used to something like SE kinda

Hey has anyone heard about Sand?
I saw it and wanted to share. It's coming out in March and is one of those crew games. You control a giant robot with your gang and roam around a procedural desert and pick up loot. But there's other crews on their own bots that can shoot at you with either handheld fps guns or giant cannons on the bots.

[native parrot]

That does make sense

So youd be wanting more in-depth system building for a space game?

[floral tendon]

I think so

Space Engineers seems cool but I know trying to learn it's building system would be grueling and my perfectionism would give me impossible standards to chase after in my designs

[native parrot]

Would you care more about placement considerations than connections?

[floral tendon]

A 50/50?

[native parrot]

Hmm

[floral tendon]

Idk if I'm making sense

[native parrot]

Some simpler spaceship building games tend to have more emphasis on ratios, but little for connections

[floral tendon]

There's probably no sense in worrying about it.

It's not in my budget

[native parrot]

Well some space games I keep an eye on have slow development and release the full game as a demo while leaving the option to purchase

[floral tendon]

Maybe

I'm just gonna drift yt

What I should actually do is try to start drawing again

[native parrot]

Id suggest starmade to try out, though idk how youd feel about space minecraft

Ive been looking for a spaceship building game with crew management, but also still with flying around and exploring

Most tend to focus on two of the things, not three

[native parrot]

Oh would you care whether a game is 2d or 3d?

[floral tendon]

I mean I'd like to be able to fly my ship

If I were to build one

[native parrot]

Some spaceship building games are 2d, usually top-down

[floral tendon]

Oh

[native parrot]

Most known example would probably be cosmoteer

Ok I am realizing a lot of spaceship building games have less focus on system connection than I remembered, lol

[floral tendon]

Makes sense

[native parrot]

Its usually like a logic wiring thing, "connect a to b" and such

I don't like sims ✋🏾

[dry copper]

So space cow rpg no sim

[floral tendon]

I mean yeah

Tbh I think the only other space game I can see myself playing is Star Citizen

[dry copper]

Any particular issue with format? IE: No topdown, no isometric?

Star Citizen is a sim

[floral tendon]

It's more of the philosophy

Is it?

[tranquil glen]

Simulating a citizen in a vast star universe, yea

[dry copper]

Spacebourne 2 got another update

[floral tendon]

I view simulators as a game that's trying to imitate reality

Which is why I'm not drawn to them

Can you make a simulator of something that's not real?

[native parrot]

Im a fan of avorion, which has placement matter in terms of center of mass and things in relation to that, plus power is often scaled based on volume, so that needs consideration

[dry copper]

A simulator that does a good job doesn't feel like a simulator.

The simulation feels second nature

Sims 4

[floral tendon]

The Sims are not a simulation of reality 😭

[native parrot]

Its a life sim

[dry copper]

Life...

[floral tendon]

Ig so

[native parrot]

Simulation doesnt necessarily mean its accurate to reality

[floral tendon]

Idk I've never played Sims

[native parrot]

Most space sims arent accurate to reality

[dry copper]

It's whatever you make it.

[floral tendon]

But then why call it a simulator-

[dry copper]

Sims today are like RPG

[native parrot]

Because it still does simulate aspects of it

[dry copper]

No game is a single genre

[native parrot]

Travel, exploration, trade, battle, etc

[floral tendon]

When I think of sims I think of flight simulator and farming simulator

[native parrot]

Nms is a space sim with a huge focus on exploration over pretty much everything else

[floral tendon]

Which are games where you essentially have a job

[dry copper]

The first sim game I played was a RPG called Sentient.

You RP'd as a medic on a space station that was slowly crashing into the sun it was orbiting

[native parrot]

Theres also things like colony sims or city builders

[floral tendon]

What are we talking about

[dry copper]

Cross genre games

[native parrot]

If youre being technical, almost every video game fits into the description of simulation

I've lost the original point of this conversation

Mostly that "simulation" doesnt necessarily mean "realistic"

[floral tendon]

I mostly want the community and roleplay elements. It's less about the mechanics.

[native parrot]

Ah

Hmmm

About that

Unfortunately, the vast majority of space sims are singleplayer

[tranquil glen]

Would prefer cod community overthat one

[floral tendon]

Yeah thought as much.

That's dramatic.

[native parrot]

Aside from nms and star citizen, games with a larger community in-game would be... space engineers and... eve online i think

[floral tendon]

Not EVE 😭

Spreadsheet simulator

If I wanted a single player game I'd just play NMS

[native parrot]

Ok theres some other games, but with much smaller communities

[floral tendon]

Tbh the only real problem with NMS is how lonely it feels at times wandering from place to place

[native parrot]

Avorion being one of them

Uhh

[floral tendon]

Especially with the walking...

[native parrot]

Empyrion galactic survival might have a community idk

Apparently evochron legacy se is multiplayer, but idk how (i have it but got sucked into the starcom games for the time being)

[floral tendon]

I know there's that one other game

What is it

X something

[native parrot]

The x series is mostly single-player, though maybe theres a game in it with multiplayer

[native parrot]

Wait did you mean xcom?

[floral tendon]

Maybe my space fever will die before I make an unwise purchase

I don't think so

[native parrot]

If that were true, I'd have less space games

[tranquil glen]

so why not elite dangerous or nms

[native parrot]

I was gonna mention elite, but it may also give "job" vibes

Though I think you can grind in single-player and join multiplayer later with better stuff

[tranquil glen]

i have a few friends that were literaly just shipping cargo between two settlements to make bank

[floral tendon]

I thought Elite Dangerous sucked?

[tranquil glen]

games onlky suck baed on preference of the gamer

[floral tendon]

To me it just seems like SC but with less things to do and less visually appealing

[regal yew]

Galaxy on fire 2 my beloved

[native parrot]

I find that rather hard to believe tbh

The main thing SC has over ED is walkable interiors

[tranquil glen]

tbh i just dont like SC bc SC

i havent played ED or SC tho

[floral tendon]

I understand SC hate

[native parrot]

If I ever played SC, I would be a pirate who attempts to take over large player ships

[floral tendon]

Do you ever have weird spikes of empathy?

[native parrot]

Yes

I too understand the yearning for a game with the promises of star citizen

[floral tendon]

I would destroy NPC ships without a second thought but the idea of actually inconveniencing another player made me feel bad

[native parrot]

Oh the piracy would be a humor thing for me

[tranquil glen]

so just do NMS permadeath and kill players there

[native parrot]

It would be amusing to steal a ship someone paid a stupid amount of money for

[tranquil glen]

wasnt there a ship that was like 40 or 70k usd?

[floral tendon]

"It took me months to grind for this ship... ☹️"

"Oh, I'm sorry... You- you can have it back. 😔"

[native parrot]

Yes, for big clans or whatever

My main issue with sc is the money made compared to the development

[tranquil glen]

me "Oh, really? aw well enjoy another month of grind"

[floral tendon]

Am I actually a good person?

This is weird

I'm not used to being on this side of the fence

[native parrot]

I dunno

That quantifier is complex

[floral tendon]

Probably not

I don't like charity

[tranquil glen]

imo if the game is pvp enabled you should expect not to be giving back your shit

[native parrot]

Tbh I have heard that you can get just about any ship in the game without paying, but the price tags they put on them regardless...

[floral tendon]

I don't love RSI

They are cash grabbing fucks

[native parrot]

It wouldve been like a multiplayer version of spore's space stage

[native parrot]

Old raft?

[tranquil glen]

yea

Old Raft

[native parrot]

Like, the game raft but an older version of it?

No I really like the parts in later versions

[tranquil glen]

eh ch2 was the final good part it had imo

[native parrot]

I mean building parts

[tranquil glen]

i mean as an update

[native parrot]

Yeah but it has cool building parts

[tranquil glen]

iiirc ch3 was pretty much building entirely decor

[floral tendon]

I would like space engineers

But... The ships have no inertia...

They just- stop.

[tranquil glen]

wasnt that one of the main points of engineers, was that u had to build to prevent getting fucked over by inertia?

[floral tendon]

From what I can see the ships don't seem to- am I using the right word?

I never had physics

[native parrot]

Oh they do

Inertia dampeners are active by default

You can disable them easily

[floral tendon]

So far all the ship demos I've seen make flying seem relatively stiff

You go up, down, left and right

You can't seem to roll though?

Like compare it to flying in NMS

[native parrot]

You definitely can

[native parrot]

That would be due to it following newtonian physics a lot more

[floral tendon]

I kinda like drift

I mean isn't that what a spaceship would realistically do?

[native parrot]

Yes

And space engineers has that

[floral tendon]

I understand why developers would try to minimize it for player experience but

[native parrot]

Its a toggle

Keybinding and everything

[floral tendon]

I'll have to look into it

[native parrot]

The thing is, space has very little to actually slow you down

[tranquil glen]

the thing is not all ships are built to roll,

[native parrot]

For similar reasons (but also performance), space engineers limits your top speed by default

[tranquil glen]

build your own not demos

[floral tendon]

I mean wouldn't ships naturally tilt?

[native parrot]

In the words of some guy commenting on a post somewhere, "its hard to stop in time when youre going 3 km/s"

[native parrot]

If they did, there'd be problems real quick, lol

Ships that arent designed to roll would likely have some sort of automatic stabilization built in

Or something that triggers auto-stability when planetside

[floral tendon]

I guess I enjoy flying in NMS and would like to emulate that

[native parrot]

Im actually pretty sure you can

It just may require quite a bit of learning

[floral tendon]

Hm

[native parrot]

I know that starship evo has similar flight mechanics to nms while also allowing for more realistic spaceflight

Its very very early access though

Some of the best building I've seen, but still lacking in most other ways

Including multiplayer

Space engineers 2 uses a similar system

[tranquil glen]

building blocks in SE have gyroscope weights to weigh certain ways at times to either roll or auto balance

like specific blocks are gyroweights

[floral tendon]

So people specifically build their ships like that?

[native parrot]

Yes and for good reason

A ship meant to be able to land on a planet often has far more thrusters on the underside than on the top

If such a ship were to accidentally do a roll upside down...

Assuming you survive the crash, good luck getting it right-side-up again

[tranquil glen]

most ships have thrusters on all sides, and mostly on the underside and a "rear" end

atleast in games so u can go spinny in space

[floral tendon]

I want to spin

I love spinning in nms

[native parrot]

You totally can

[floral tendon]

A ship that doesn't spin is not a ship for me ✋🏾

[tranquil glen]

tbf in nms probably just angling the rear engines on some starcraft to do so

[native parrot]

Often such systems are specifically programmed to activate in presence of a gravity well

[floral tendon]

Mkay

[tranquil glen]

like on the exotic ships, imo would just angle the back engines without using side engines on wings lets say

[native parrot]

In proper space, theres not much reason to focus on staying "upright"

[tranquil glen]

as there is no up/down or left/right

[native parrot]

The trailmakers space map has a weird mix due to still needing to fit in how the game itself functions

There is actually a "down" but your ship doesnt have to stay facing that way

[native parrot]

You might like avorion quite a bit, tbh

The ship editor takes a bit of getting used to, but placement and weight and whatnot all matter

Ships do have a top speed influenced by the thrusters and weight, but theres also installable subsystems (basically upgrades) that can change it, even making there not be a top speed

[tranquil glen]

also i dont think starfield allows u to escape its "stay right side up mf"

[native parrot]

I would also recommend avorion for nms players who want to have controllable freighter fleet battles

[tranquil glen]

no rolling (foward up or down), not much spinny (left right)

[native parrot]

Tbh avorion would have a ton of the features I've seen players ask to be in nms since corvettes, but it has far less of what nms has now

[floral tendon]

Hmm...

[steel grail]

2 things came to mind

Actual job in game like in albion where u make equipment for the clan

And the other being having to play any live service oriented game that induces FOMO into grind rotation

[tranquil glen]

Job simulator, and Destiny 2

But again there’s a bunch more that don’t have basis for job the split being as you stated an ingame position vs what it feels like a job by playing the game due to grind, if its good it won’t feel that way ehem warframe

And if u really want to define games by “feeling like a job” that can besaid for any open world rpg akin to skyrim imo just to slog through leveling off x skill

[steel grail]

Those don't exactly feel like a job to me cuz the whole point of such arpg games is to explore/experience

U don't need to have a said skill at said lvl to experience the game or even to finish it but it can be achieved just by playing the game

To me, any game that requires a third party app or spreadsheets or hours of grind put in for a required lvl/equipment/skill feels like job

[compact quarry]

Heckler and friggin Koch is advertising half life 3, they just tweeted “Forget about Freeman”

[inland oasis]

lol nice try bungie, immediately after launching destiny 2, your beggin me to preorder your next pile of garbage. NO THANK YOU. i doubt im gonna touch marathon with a 10 ft pole tbh

[mental rose]

Marathon was already struggling thanks to the art plagiarization fiasco.
Now that Arc Raiders exists, it just might be DoA

[inland oasis]

i was never even interested in it beforehand all the pre plagiarization scandal lol...idk something about a destiny extraction shooter doesnt feel right. and like you said, with arc existing, and doing it in a way (imo) that feels more natural and fitting with the world lore and characters.
Marathon i still literally know nothing about besides the player is a person, and its a extraction shooter that might feel similar to destiny gameplay. lol

[mental rose]

Extraction shooters are not really my thing, but Marathon stuck out like a sore thumb, because of how green the art style is.
And very cyberspace'y

[inland oasis]

apperently it looks extremly BLOCKY too. at least to me. the items they offer, are straight up rectangles

[obtuse reef]

I know enough about Marathon that an extraction shooter is a really really random decision

[inland oasis]

yea like wtf even ARE the players? spaceraiders? forerunners? do we know?

[obtuse reef]

The first Marathon games were basically just Doom with a more sci-fi setting

[inland oasis]

why are we even looting besides that being the point of the game?

etc etc

[obtuse reef]

Bungie ties almost everything back to marathon somehow

[inland oasis]

i never played any of them lmao

[mental rose]

Something-something digital avatars called just "Runners"

[obtuse reef]

Some of the halo games have tie ins to marathon

[inland oasis]

halo, predesessors were called forerunners. iirc they were like a ancient ancestral human civilization or species

it was them vs the precursors iirc, then flood came

[obtuse reef]

Okay, I actually know the lore for the Forerunners because I read the books on them

[inland oasis]

good cuz ive only rlly seen yt lorevids xD

[obtuse reef]

They were ancient rivals to humanity, eventually ending with them devolving humanity and stranding them on earth. The forerunners also defeated the precursors, but failed to defeat the Flood

[inland oasis]

makes me wonder how tied into that the game'll be. calling them runners. lol could just be a reach

[obtuse reef]

Probably just a really unoriginal naming scheme

[inland oasis]

part of me thinks the lack of telling us anything is intentional. like they wont tell us until it releases and people figure it out thru the games story itself. bungie is really incredible with stories but have just gone down a terrible path.

even destiny was a mystery about what was gonna happen until we played

i just knew, space looter shooter. awesome! and at the time it sounded awesome too. unlike a "destiny like extraction shooter" now

[tranquil glen]

Also iirc point wasnt feels Like job, point was, IS JOB

https://youtube.com/shorts/NjuoKFJdmpk?si=u2nubevegIZ5h4iA

[steel grail]

I figured. Thats why I mentioned both things that came to mind, IS a job and FEELS like a job 😂

[verbal plume]

i fr havent even heard of marathon

arc raiders >

bungie sucks major ass nowadays

never gonna give them money again

[verbal plume]

it sucks cuz they used to actually be goated

the fall of needs to be studied

destiny 1 was a time

[formal canopy]

4.9? What the fuck..

[verbal plume]

it's good

[tranquil glen]

Whos bungie, creators of shitlo? I see yea no wonder i didnt like it, oh wait no that was 303

[tranquil glen]

That background tho 😂

[tranquil glen]

Me: plays hotel tycoon game that has casino and archery places at hotel grounds
Game: yea archery is slightly more income than the casino
Me: but is casino?

[austere lance]

Androids piloted by scavengers with different powers who get paid by mega corporations to loot areas abandoned by humanity

The game is ass, especially compared to Arc Raiders. I did alpha testing for both and Arc Raiders was better even back then, obviously it's not even a competition now that the full game of Arc Raiders is out and has a few updates 😆

[inland oasis]

Yea. Nothing about that seems exciting or attention grabbing imo lol. Just an idea for the sake of it

Almost sounds like it’ll be slightly “hero shooter” extraction shooter blended.

[tranquil glen]

Wish arc Raiders returned to the very, very hard ai

[inland oasis]

If there’s characters with diff powers n shit I’m already put off. I’d rather have one character that could optionally pick things

The Ai is unforgiving in my case 😭 damn bullies

[austere lance]

It plays like Apex Legends with extraction shooter stuff, lol

[nova eagle]

Guys I got a unicorn, a theasle, a brown niffler, and a light grey niffler in hogwarts legacy.

[tranquil glen]

Bro it took me like 15 fuckin runs just to get apricots on buried city 😭

Because of both player hostility and bot hostility

Guess my lobbies are KOS

Mostly

[inland oasis]

I almost always make friends with people. But end up in the shittiest situations while tryna do some of the easiest stuff for quests at times. It’s so aggravating sometimes how accurate those wasps and hornets are if caught anywhere in the open

[tranquil glen]

I literally dropped the game for several weeks after I got my fucking apricots, I came back to get the lemons maybe four runs in. I got one squad mate, so duo. And we booked it to South spaceport just to get the employee parking lot lemon trees then we booked it too southeastern escape.

I literally did not give a fuck to pick up all those shit when going for lemons I had fruit loadout and lemon lemons

I was gonna get my lemons if it killed me

[inland oasis]

I’ve been burnt out a bit on it too. Prolly like a week I haven’t played. Just no incentive for me personally. All my good loot collects dust cuz since I die in stupid situations I never risk any of it anyways.
That and my constant fight with stash space lmao. I mainly get on, hope for funny shit to happen maybe do a few quests, and then after a few runs get tired of it n play something else. Or, get wrecked and ragequit lmao

[tranquil glen]

And here i thought dog tags were irritating 🤣

[tranquil glen]

I like the idea of extraction shooter, but it’s not.… I guess I’m too attached to it, but it’s not warframe 😂

I literally have to mute everything else just to play arc

[inland oasis]

There is that too yea. Audio being so important I nearly always turn my music off that I typically play other games with it on

[tranquil glen]

My friends in discord get confused when i talk to my ingame squad LOL

[native parrot]

Tbf most games where you might use spreadsheets dont have that as a requirement of the game, its just what the playerbase does

Though, last night I was playing a game where I had to triangulate coordinates to find something, but since it doesnt let you draw on the map I was genuinely tempted to start using graph paper

I did see some complaints about things like that being required, but I have the sort of brain that would end up doing that anyway

[austere lance]

Just kill other people and take their loot
That's why I commit war crimes in the Buried City tunnels, lol. I ain't gonna bother running around maps looting things when one little mistake could get me smoked by a Rocketeer or jumped by a player I didn't see, I'm just gonna mine tf out of the tunnels and let other people bring loot and guns to me 😌

Warhorse studios DOESN'T hold the right to HISTORICAL FENCING, CASTLES, nor BASCINETS. To suggest they're somehow stealing is absurd.

kingda ka was my fave coaster ever

what a launch, up to like 120 mph i think, and straight 416ft vertical then 😄

I just realized people only rated it 5 stars there’s no 1, 2, or 3 stars and 40k people rated this

So this is the best “game” ever. I must purchase this at once

[verbal plume]

tired of forza horizon cuz they don't add anything new except the location and a few of the cars out of the hundreds they have

maybe if it was more like nfs with an actual good story

plus the customization sucks

[steep badger]

the trailer looks good tho, they have a much bigger urban environment

[verbal plume]

so a location change, like i said

is there better customization or is it super sanitized still?

probably the same

like bro u cant even camber your tires

sure there's a slide for it, but it actually does nothing visually

just a number slider

which is incredibly lazy

FH used to be good

it's reaching CoD/FIFA/Madden status now

[steep badger]

Yeah, I understand. I usually am an exploration guy so I prefer the varied locations to drive around in with the awesome graphics. But from a car enthusiast perspective, I see it is going backwards

Fortnite is still a thing?

[minor wraith]

Yes.

[steel grail]

Damn

[minor wraith]

It seems to be thriving even

[steel grail]

I know its a good game but to be still going strong is something else

[minor wraith]

It survives on all the collabs they do. They also make the seasons interesting.

[steel grail]

I remember they did one with Goku and there was a thanos one too 😂

[austere lance]

It's still tied with Chinese gacha games for being one of the most played games on the planet, lol

[dry copper]

I saw the most disturbing shit on Hytale's discord.

Some dude tried to promote his dating server for Hytale players that are looking for that someone special

It gave me the creep vibes.

Like, I get it if people like the game. I like it too, but not for dating...or any shit that isn't pg13 whatsoever. Game is for kids and the odds that a kid is going to be on the server with adults is pretty high.

So behave accordingly

[verbal plume]

yea that's kinda crazy

[steel grail]

I feel like discord has pretty lax attitude towards these things

Im in a server which is partnered with discord and actively promotes cheat engine and the mods there are a group of friends who are the most antisocial ppl i've ever seen on the internet and do the usual mod abuse stuff

Which as u can imagine isn't limited to just silencing/banning users but something much worse

Bring down the Sky DLC, right? Or whatever it was called.

I didn't know it was DLC til I Googled it, I thought it was just another side mission 😆

Asteroid with thrusters set to crash on a colony, right?

[austere lance]

I'm replaying Legendary Edition trilogy cuz I'm bored and need a good RPG, lol

[mental rose]

It was originally I think a mini DLC, back in OG ME1 days

[austere lance]

Yeah, and evil Batarians

They really want you to hate Batarians in the first two games, lol

God I can't wait to get to ME2, I love the characters and story for the first game but good lord the combat is kinda ass 💀
There's a reason I never replayed it with the original trilogy, LMAO

I always just replayed 2 and 3

[mental rose]

I always played Soldier in ME1, because the game gives you access to all weapon types regardless of character class.

So at least I could make use of every gun type

[austere lance]

I'm running Vanguard, cuz shotgun biotic tank go brrrrrr

It's way more fun in 2 and 3, but still entertaining in 1

[mental rose]

Hah!
I mained Vanguard in ME3 multiplayer, (shame it didn't make it to LE) it was so busted

Charge -> Smash -> shoot -> repeat

[austere lance]

God I miss the multiplayer

I had an Awoken that was a fuckin monster

[mental rose]

You know something? I left my OG ME3 to gather dust after I finished the story once.
Only after the legendary edition came out, I played through stuff I originally missed. (Omega and Citadel DLC)

Especially Citadel. I have never laughed so hard. 😄

Forgive me for asking then

[steel grail]

Im kidding bro

Lets see. For me it would be Bioshock for sure

That was first time I realised games can be like this too. Up until then I was just hooked on God of war 😂

[still talon]

Gow is great

[inland oasis]

playing sims while my sim is playing sims. if only my character was playing sims of a character playing sims...unending xD

[still talon]

I've only played 4 and 5 though

[inland oasis]

oh, ignore dudes a plantperson XD

[steel grail]

U should try the original. My god those games were something else

[steel grail]

Wtf 😂

[still talon]

Hollow Knight and Silksong gotta be in my top 10 fs

Maybe not top 5 though

[steel grail]

Oh and Dark souls. Especially the fight with sif

After like 17 attempts when I finally learnt how to defeat sif, i regretted having learnt that

[still talon]

only fromsoft game i've ever played was elden ring

I haven't picked it up in a while now that i've entered the late game

[steel grail]

Its a good entry game for souls like genre

Although other games dont offer u with versatility such as ER, u'd have learnt everything u need to knw abt the genre from it

I guess I should mention counter strike too

Because of how it defined and played a part in esport scenario

[tranquil glen]

Skyrim (FUS RO DAH), ACUnity 🗡️ , PVZ Garden Warfare (changed my life fr), Warframe (the grind never ends tenno), I dont know which one but Legend of Zelda

probably LoZ OoT

[still talon]

wait i lied

I have like 5 hours on sekiro

[tranquil glen]

not in that order obiviously

[still talon]

got sick of playing because my controller got drift

[steel grail]

Oooo Sekiro 🤌

also gaming is taking a great step this year imo

theres a project to bring hytale and minecraft players in sync together

So, any of u gonna try the new game HighGuard?

[verbal plume]

too many games i love

[tranquil glen]

what are its genres, what does it play like?

[verbal plume]

probably not

[tranquil glen]

i have over 200 games on wishlist and theyve been out for years some f2p and ivenot gotten em yet

probably over 100 owned and unplayed, the normal steam user 🤣

[verbal plume]

it's a free to play 3v3 pvp game

probably gonna fail

[tranquil glen]

interesting 3v3s usually dont last

[steel grail]

Hero shooter

[tranquil glen]

ah yea, unlikely to last

[steel grail]

And no idea what it plays like. I think it releases today

[verbal plume]

don't understand why people make more hero shooters.

they all suck.

[tranquil glen]

tbh dont suck just markets oversaturated with no "improvements" to the system

tf2 ow and marvel being the most iconic afaik

[verbal plume]

tf2 will last forever i imagine

[steel grail]

Tf2 and Ow I agree but rivals idk

[verbal plume]

overwatch sucks

[steel grail]

It just doesn't feel right

[verbal plume]

marvel rivals is just a gooner hero shooter

it also sucks but it makes money

[steel grail]

U know how u can feel the smoothness or certain aspects in mechanics of the game that feel polished and refined?

How do i say this

[verbal plume]

TF2 is actually the only hero shooter i've ever liked now that I think about it

[steel grail]

Like u knw work was put into that

[verbal plume]

that's a fun game

[steel grail]

Yeah tf2 is a classic

[verbal plume]

?

[tranquil glen]

the audio in some games will far outlast the game itself

sfx, audio, environ...

[steel grail]

Idk how to explain it but sometimes u feel like u are playing a refined game, right? I dont get that from rivals. It feels as if its a copy

[tranquil glen]

unfortunately a game with imo best audio is dying/sunsetting this year

[verbal plume]

Ah

yea im not a fan of marvel rivals it doesn't play well imo

[steel grail]

And lets be honest, ow is a good game too. But my god did that company handle everything badly at every turn

[verbal plume]

honestly the concept was cool. like i said i just don't like hero shooters

a overwatch story game, i'd be interested in

because i did like the little bits of lore they had every once in a while

[steel grail]

Thats what ow2 was supposed to be until everyone got scammed out of it 😂

[tranquil glen]

"ow2 is pve"

release: "copy of ow1 with maybe new maps"

[verbal plume]

didn't know that lol

would've been sick

oh well

this year technicaly

the sun hasnt set yet

what is this

[steel grail]

Tbh it was kinda like writing on the wall

[tranquil glen]

New World

jeff bezos MMO, that if given another year or two community likely could have taken it to par with WoW

yes

yes

[steel grail]

Sure u can expand into new areas and drop new mobs and all but after that one month's pve content the game would pivot back to pvp and there was nothing exciting happening in that area

Since its launch and revamp, pvp has remained same and stale

[tranquil glen]

yes but the thing was last summer was its "best" update yet, that brought back players that left just after launch and fresh blood

it was on the uprise until a month later when notice of foot going in the grave

month or so idk

[steel grail]

Yup I know

I was one of those players who came back to the game lol

And the game did feel completely different so I guess they weren't lying abt the whole revamp thing

[verbal plume]

never heard of it tbh

[tranquil glen]

Im confused does no YT clip have karoo and vivi looking out at rolling sand?

they dont have it bc credits ahh

They did a big oof when showing it at the end of show. that place was "reserved" for some huge things.

Game might be not that bad. But it disapointed everyone with being another hero shooter

[tranquil glen]

Mmo like heros; tank, dps and dps 2

[verbal plume]

i still like KCD1 over 2

[austere lance]

It's getting worse

[obtuse reef]

Didn't it come out today?

That's just embarrassing

[austere lance]

Yep. It's rapidly getting worse, cuz it's generic af and has dogshit performance

[split ridge]

Never heard of that game lol

[feral ginkgo]

Under 2 hours 6400 negative reviews…..

[dry copper]

This has to be one of the worst looking character shots I've ever seen for a video. It looks like someone mismatched letterkenny hillbillies as the cast for the lion the witch and the wardrobe

I've seen more compelling looking M&M as characters

[edgy viper]

Thats the another issue of this game .almost 0 marketing. Besides jeff promotion.

[dry copper]

and it's a pvp raid shooter

Might as well put mounts in Apex Legends

[edgy viper]

I bet they will add them at some point xdd everyone insolently copies from everyone

Fort valo apex siedge go : the game

With all the elements from diffrent games . The game does not feel oryginal.

[austere lance]

Nope. Just finished my first match

[edgy viper]

I didint played it nad probably never will. By the time i get my hands on it , it will become sweat fest. Pepole already doing crazy skillshots from mounts

[edgy viper]

Nope u mean u agree or u feel diffrent?

[tranquil glen]

The only game that still feels original is the first

https://tenor.com/view/p-ong-gif-21099491

Tho iguess EA kinda made it un original due to “fifa XYear”

are we witnessing the death of one of gaming's giants live?

[formal canopy]

Top 50. Im almost at 100 games played

[steep badger]

and EA is living off government support right?? what has the gaming industry become?? like I like AA and indie too but AAA has its own level of gaming

[formal canopy]

I mean… I’ve surpassed 100 but I don’t like those

[dry copper]

New World was doomed from day one

I remember. I was there. The community is toxic as hell. The game developers kept loading the backend for content when the content to get there wasn't even worth doing, wasn't fun and promoted toxic gamers.

That company handled New World like they wanted it to fail.

Anyone defending New World is coping

[tranquil glen]

New world actually released many QOL updates in 2025 along with its most popular content update since release

[edgy viper]

Ubisoft is not dead yet. They have still like 10 studios around the world. But thier part glory is long gone.

[steep badger]

Indeed, I heard even Watch Dogs is being shut down

[edgy viper]

6 titles total i think? . High chance watch dogs was one of them

One was mobile game

And price of persia remake if belive the rumors

They confirmed in same statement about 6 titles that bg&e is still on the worktable

[formal canopy]

Wow

[edgy viper]

So now im they have no choice but to finish bg&e2

[tranquil glen]

check the player pop drop too

its massive

[formal canopy]

I’ve seen, I don’t even think the game is bad but I don’t got friends to play lol

[austere lance]

It's mid af

[tranquil glen]

classic gamers nowadays 🤣 well atleast many not all tbf

Question for anyone willling to answer, if you are going to play a combat game would you prefer “dropping in” or “waking up” in it? Something akin to helldivers or say COD/Warfare?

[austere lance]

Dropping in cuz more interactivity

That's part of why I like Helldivers 2 and Arc Raiders so much, it really feels like I'm getting sent into some bullshit every mission 😆

[verbal plume]

i wish bg&e2 would've dropped

i doubt it will

but what they showed a while ago was sick.

I've somehow learned the new Arc Raiders meta: Sit in the subway in Buried City and play guitar while people dance and pay me trinkets 🤣

[split ridge]

Are you guys pumped about this new terraria update?

[austere lance]

Someday

Maybe. Tho the movie got canceled, so 😬

[verbal plume]

i know that's so sad

[winter yew]

never indulged have we missed out?

[steel grail]

Im more surprised at how much this is talked abt

This is like 5th server where ppl have excitedly mentioned the update

Some of those servers never talk abt any other games

Eww. Twitch have lost their minds

[formal canopy]

Online gaming flops of the 2020s

Also Knockout city & Foamstars

[surreal crypt]

And Suicide Squad

We'll get 20 more of these until CEOs get the message

[inland oasis]

the first splitgate was incredible. 2 flopped hard

[formal canopy]

That’s not online focused

[formal canopy]

The maga type hat that dude wore at the games fest was so cringe

And then he shit talked Cod and their business practices when his game was no better

[steep badger]

half of these are hero shooetrs lol

[verbal plume]

multiversus was good

sad about that

[inland oasis]

another new ride :3

[formal canopy]

The beta was good

[verbal plume]

finn was so good

[pliant iris]

This is actually pretty useful for other games, too.

[pliant iris]

nice color

[pliant iris]

I’m not going to lie, I haven’t heard of about 90% of those games. My gaming knowledge is officially ancient and I find that hilarious.

its rising

[muted cairn]

Me and my father picked up the Celebration Edition when it was on sale and have been loving it! It's not 100% like the original Battlefront 2, but it's still awesome!

[austere lance]

It's awesome

[austere lance]

This is gonna be the largest, most in depth RPG ever made or it's a complete fuckin lie and we're gonna witness the biggest lawsuits to ever hit the gaming industry, either way I'm interested 😆

Most terrifying boss you experienced?

AXL from grounded 2 (heavy arachnophobia warning)

[split ridge]

the question is, what one are you betting on? With how gaming is, I'd bet it's a lie lol

[steel grail]

A different coloured desert this time

Jeeze. If they really wanted more people to play FO76, they'd fix the fucking game

The lighting is hot garbage. It always has been.

It lags the fuck out of the game

[mellow dune]

Aw hell yea om playing through that too

Very chill game

[torpid lynx]

stunt jump failed my ass

[inland oasis]

There’s very specific designated landing area “zones” and if you miss em it doesn’t matter what you do or how cool it is, it’ll fail cuz you landed outside the spot. Lol

I’m always too busy in full send mode and probably overshoot it all the time

[torpid lynx]

lol of course

[tranquil glen]

Most also require all wheels hit ground at once

[dry copper]

lol you drive like a lunatic. Nice paintjob tho

TheGameVerse (@TheGameVerse)

Only 3 Studios for the rest of your life. Which ones are you choosing? 👀

X · Jan 31, 2026, 8:39 AM

[formal canopy]

What’s the point?

[formal canopy]

Actually I change my mind. Rockstar, IO, Capcom

[verbal plume]

rockstar, sucker punch and fromsoft

[mystic turtle]

Yall be on that Battlefield 6?

[formal canopy]

No. I been thinking of getting it but the game isn’t doing too well rn

I been saying the maps in the meta were too small

[mystic turtle]

😐

I just like shooting things and watching them blow up

:3

[mystic turtle]

Ubisoft, Rockstar and idk enough about the rest to make a decision

[steel grail]

Fromsoft, capcom, larian

[mystic turtle]

Fromsoft when Fromhard walks in

[formal canopy]

There’s a billion games like that 💀

[mystic turtle]

But this is Battlefield 6

:3

[austere lance]

CDPR, Remedy, Kojima Productions

[formal canopy]

Who’s remedy again?

[feral ginkgo]

The ones that did the Max Payne series, Alan Wake series, Control, Quantum break…. and some others.

[austere lance]

Yep

[formal canopy]

👍

[pliant iris]

I’m definitely going with FromSoftware and Bethesda. That third spot is the real killer, though, I was honestly torn between CD Projekt Red and Square Enix, but I think I’ll settle on Capcom just to shake things up.

[formal canopy]

My top open world games

[formal canopy]

What does square enix make? Final fantasy right?

[verbal plume]

it really depends on if the wicher 4 is good, for me, if cdpr is good

cyberpunk was alright i guess

[verbal plume]

lots of things

[formal canopy]

I didn’t care for Witcher or Cyberpunk personally

[formal canopy]

Like

Final fantasy?

[verbal plume]

ff, nier, they did kingdom hearts 2

Forspoken..........

[pliant iris]

They are considered the champions in the realm of RPGs.

[formal canopy]

Feels like every company is now lol

[verbal plume]

dragon quest too

[pliant iris]

They are the champions.

[formal canopy]

Mhm

[austere lance]

Witcher 3 hooked me hard enough to replay it three times and read all 8 books, then watch season 1 of the Netflix show when that dropped 😆

[verbal plume]

i dont really care for cybperpunk (the game) which is why i only care if the witcher 4 is good

the show is good though

[formal canopy]

Gta 6, the new Lego Batman game, and Crimson desert may go on soon idk tho

[verbal plume]

i want the new fable

[austere lance]

Cyberpunk was ass til 2.0 but damn I fuckin loved it afterwards, especially with the DLC

[verbal plume]

idek what the 2.0 changed about the base game honestly

lol

[austere lance]

Everything

[formal canopy]

I didn’t like neither cause there’s so much fucking dialogue

[verbal plume]

it seemed pretty much the same

besides qol features

DLC was better than the base game though

[verbal plume]

me when rpg

[austere lance]

I...do not trust the new Fable. Especially since they said it's not gonna have an overall morality system

[formal canopy]

?

[austere lance]

And they still haven't mentioned Demon Doors

[pliant iris]

Then it’s definitely going to flop.

[verbal plume]

i like that it's town to town, makes sense

[formal canopy]

Never played it, can you be evil?

[austere lance]

Fable 1 is my favorite and nothing I've seen of the new one looks like it's gonna change that, lol

[verbal plume]

fable 2 will probably still be my favorite, still want a new game

TW3 will probably be better, I still want 4

[formal canopy]

You said you didn’t trust it

Why

What’s the morality system?

My most anticipated

[formal canopy]

When does Fable release again?

Cause that gameplay in the trailer looked terrible

They might need another year

[austere lance]

The upcoming Fable reboot? Cuz it doesn't even look like Fable, just a random quirky RPG. They toned down everything a lot, the old ones were way darker than anything the new one has shown.
Like, the start of each of the original games had a huge traumatic event happen (your village getting slaughtered by bandits, your sister getting sacrificed in a fucked up ritual, your kingdom getting attacked by traitors and you having to start a rebellion) but in the new one your village just gets turned to stone.
It's also just being quirky for the hell of it, like having The Office style cutscenes with characters talking to the camera

[verbal plume]

i dont even know if they showed a release date

Fable...dark?

didnt ever get that vibe ngl

[formal canopy]

Your sister getting sacrificed and village getting slaughtered is pretty fucked up lol

[austere lance]

Your sister gets kidnapped by bandits at the start of the first game after they burn your village down and kill most of the inhabitants and she gets...abused for years til the bandit chief realizes she's got magic and takes her under his wing

[formal canopy]

Maybe you can have different starts

[austere lance]

Nope

They said the "big event" that sets off the new game is your village getting turned to stone

[verbal plume]

the game itself is pretty damn goofy though

chicken chaser

[formal canopy]

lol

[austere lance]

Also, the combat is toned down a lot in the new one for its T rating. In the old ones you could decapitate people and shit cuz they were rated M

The combat they've shown in the new one doesn't even have blood 😆

[verbal plume]

🤷‍♂️

[formal canopy]

My problem is the attacks themselves look weak, there’s no impact

[verbal plume]

😭

[austere lance]

The new one being quirky lighthearted shit and having The Office style "look at the camera" interviews with characters sometimes is the stupidest fuckin thing I've ever seen

[verbal plume]

where was that

did we all watch the same gameplay demo
