Hey it runs darktide...when it's the 2nd Tuesday of the month where Mercury is in Retrograde and I'm exactly 5⅞ beers deep with exactly 225.8146mg of caffeine in my system

[leaden mulch]

and all the VM's are locked with 256 bit encryption

[obtuse reef]

Try threatening it with a hammer or other blunt instrument of your choice

Works with my PC

[mellow dune]

We should hurry up and invent quantum brute forces

[obtuse reef]

I got my Beating Wrench (tm) for that

[mellow dune]

"Nice 256 bit encryption however this bit is both off and on."

"Goodluck."

[obtuse reef]

Yes, let’s fuck with fundamental forces of the universe so you can play PS games on an Xbox

[dry copper]

You don't have to crack xbox to remove the OS and run your own. If you remove the OS, the Xbox is just hardware.

[mellow dune]

It'll be fun!

[obtuse reef]

There will be no consequences for these frivolous pursuits

[dry copper]

It won't run xbox games but still

[mellow dune]

All this just to play Death Stranding 2 because I'm too lazy to wait to see if it'll come to xbox

[dry copper]

Technologia

[obtuse reef]

It won’t

[leaden mulch]

and because the games run in a self contained VM, it means you cannot side load any info. Its a completely secure env. The only way to use mods on xbox is through the games own portals

[mellow dune]

They put DS1 DC on there so I have some degree of hope

Save me Headache Kajingles

Give me amazon delivery simulator 2

[dry copper]

Just get a steambox and play DS2 on that.

[obtuse reef]

I wonder if the plot is more or less batshit insane than the last game

[mellow dune]

I'll just remove the xbox OS from my xbox and load a SteamOS on it

[dry copper]

lol

Someone got DS2 running on deck?

[mellow dune]

AMAZING

[obtuse reef]

I’m guessing it’s not gonna be playable on a steam deck

At least not above 15fps

[mellow dune]

That fucking Steam deck is gonna become a thermonuclear bomb

"How hot is it? Yes."

[obtuse reef]

Yeah, that’s a great way to turn a perfectly good device into an IED

[leaden mulch]

you DO though. Its not like a PC. Xbox runs all games in a containerised sandbox VM, locked and secured via the TPM chip on the mobo. The TPM chip itself can only be accessed with the correct key which is built into the windows 10 for console env, and hardcoded into it.

[dry copper]

20fps lol

[obtuse reef]

Hey, I was close

[mellow dune]

I could like

Remove the TPM :3

I once gaslit my own computers registry into believing I had a TPM

Even though i didn't

[obtuse reef]

At that point if you’re willing to pay for an Xbox and go through the effort of doing that, just buy a PC

[dry copper]

So you're saying replace the TPM chip

[mellow dune]

You see Grey

I have a PC
Only one small issue

[dry copper]

Or short the TPM chip entirely

[mellow dune]

all the parts are about 7 years old

[obtuse reef]

My PC is a mishmash of parts from various points in time

My monitor flickers and sometimes turns off for a second

[leaden mulch]

Like I say, it only in the last week or so that someone finally was able to create a crack for the xbox allowing them to run other OS's on it

[obtuse reef]

Calling it tech heresy is an understatement

[leaden mulch]

took them 8 years

[dry copper]

No.

[mellow dune]

My PC rn is

AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (6C/12T) CPU

Just because someone did it after 8 years doesn't mean they were trying to for 8 years.

Some shit isn't worth cracking.

I’m a certified Techpriest. Have you tried reanointing your computer with sacred oils (WD-40)?

[mellow dune]

I have indeed reanointed the blessed oils and even given it a thorough decontamination along with replacing the blessed coolant paste

Yet the machine spirit grows weary

[obtuse reef]

It cannot falter

Do not let it rest

[leaden mulch]

After my last PC emitted its magic smoke and gave up its spirit, because of finances, I was forced to cheap out to console, which is why I ended up on xbox

[mellow dune]

Only thing I use it for is to open an SSH window to my server

"To serve as a bridge to my server."
"Really?"

[hot sluice]

hd2 update is fucking fantastic

Genuinely very impressed with the warbond (flamethrowers now having a slow and panic mechanic is peak and the cremator does 225 dps which is actually higher than the burning heavy status that eat-napalm and napalm eagles have of 200)

The two new illuminate subfactions are very nice, appropriators new enemies feel good to fight, its nice not just having overseers all the time

You can kill the veracitors with light pen weapons but they aren't slouches either and will backhand you to fling you in the air if you're not careful

[dry copper]

https://klipy.com/gifs/chicago-med-hannah-asher-50

[hot sluice]

All the illuminate need now imo is just bugfixes to stop em noclipping through buildings

The stoker is arguably the strongest smg in the entire game imo too

The veto is an incredibly solid pistol with massive stagger and zero damage falloff

The shovel is a fine utility weapon

[dry copper]

https://klipy.com/gifs/allenxandria-theres-no-fun-to-be-had-here

[hot sluice]

Solid 8/10 update, room for improvement but very very good

[mellow dune]

[hot sluice]

You know the acid storm modifier that reduces armor by 1?

[mellow dune]

Gas warbond mfs locked in an asylum

[hot sluice]

Add that as an effect if you're dousing the enemy in its gas

Gas itself is not bad but the sterilizer should be the defacto armor corroding weapon

[dry copper]

I like the song gas gas gas

[hot sluice]

They could make it for all gas statuses but that makes the gas nades absurd

Also the giga grenade can 2 shot bile titans to the head

[mellow dune]

You see

I'd agree

Bur

[hot sluice]

I have confidence they'll buff it, they've been on a roll with buffing systems that needed it recently

[mellow dune]

The needle pistol in Redacted Regiment warbond

[hot sluice]

Stealth heavily improved in the stealth warbond, flamethrowers WAY better now

[mellow dune]

Also has the caustic trait

Which I believe applies the -1 armour

[hot sluice]

If it does then that weapon is much better than I gave credit for

[mellow dune]

Does the flamethrower change apply to all flame weapons or just strategems

[dry copper]

Speaking of credit....Pearl Abyss may be living on it for a while

[mellow dune]

Might be worth it for me to start using the Crisper again

[dry copper]

The launch of Crimson Desert didn't land as well as they anticipated

[mellow dune]

Oh yea they straight up told Intel ARC GPU users to go fuck themselves

[hot sluice]

every single flamethrower weapon

its allegedly bugged to work on the coyote which is hilarious

[mellow dune]

WELCOME BACK TO THE LOADOUT CRISPER

POCKET FLAMETHROWER

[hot sluice]

crisper DOES in fact have the new panic and slow mechanic

It's very nice burning a fleshmob to death

[dry copper]

Rather than fix their game they blamed the GPU?

[mellow dune]

Arc GPUs are staight up unsupported

The game won't launch

[hot sluice]

crisper is nice but the stoker does exist which is a light pen smg with an underbarrel crisper

https://helldivers.wiki.gg/wiki/SMG/FLAM-34_Stoker

450 rpm, sounds like firing a type writer, lovely lovely gun

[dry copper]

That's just disrespectful

[hot sluice]

130 damage base, just a shame about smg drag being brutally high at 120%

[mellow dune]

Stoker looks nice but I've been running the shotgun

Medium pen non slug quasi-full auto

[hot sluice]

The shotgun is lovely, I just don't get why people think it power creeps the m90s

The stagger is intentionally not good on it for a reason

The m90a could have more added to it ofc like attachments but its a capable shotgun

[mellow dune]

It gets slam fire which means you can rapidly dispense shells onto bad guys

[hot sluice]

I know it does its why i bought it

[dry copper]

The legal arguments coming out of Krafton for the bullshittery they did to Subnautica 2 is fucking insane

[hot sluice]

I knew this stuff was coming due to things being leaked but the passive was not leaked correctly

[mellow dune]

ChatGPT contract my beloved

Its so fucking stupid

[hot sluice]

Welcome to why i don't trust corpos, its very scummy

[mellow dune]

The super store heavy armour is like lowk the best armour in the game rn for raw survivability

[dry copper]

Subnautica 2 will be released into early access in May. The developers may get railroaded by Krafton down the road though just to avoid having to pay the developers their bonuses.

[mellow dune]

Much better than the 200 Michelin man armour

It's a 180 armour rating with an additional 50% explosive resistance

Which makes fighting bots and squids a breeze

Esp on higher diffs

[hot sluice]

One of the best changes they've done ever also

"Overseers will now stagger when their armour and shields are destroyed"

Means light pen works nice against em cause you can afford to not always just instakill em

I love the veracitor enemies as well, such a smart use of an ap2 weakpoint

[mellow dune]

Rest in Pepperoni for the Heavy armour pen grenade launcher

Forever in our hearts

[hot sluice]

that didn't need to be heavy pen tbh

i would buff the belt fed more

Higher base damage, enough to at least 1 shot a warrior

[mellow dune]

Belt fed needs more Ammo...

100 isn't enough

[hot sluice]

It got more ammo just not a lot

its 120 now

I'll get you the patch notes there's a lot of good stuff in it

https://arrowhead.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/26172285942812-Machinery-of-Oppression-6-1-0

Vox engine nerf I'm so happy about + spawn rate reduction, they're a cool enemy but were annoying to fight due to the overly high frequency

"Helldivers can now melee while falling or using the LIFT-850 Jump Pack"

I did love mowing down bugs with belt fed

[mellow dune]

Finally I don't need to juggle like 200 levellers just so I can play the game

[hot sluice]

Time to defoliaton tool fly into an enemy

[hot sluice]

That's certainly one of the modded fire sounds of all time

Can't believe you're firing an oversized stapler gun

[mellow dune]

Mk.19 grenade Launcher

[hot sluice]

Wait is metal gear music

[mellow dune]

Yep. My extraction theme

[hot sluice]

But yeah belt fed did get buffed but I would 100% buff the damage more

The cremator is the gold standard for backpack weapons now

I think the maxigun should let you move when firing genuinely

It's not horrible but it could be better

[mellow dune]

Don't have enough SC for the new WB since I just bought redacted

[hot sluice]

I very much recommend the warbond, its very very nice

having 3 variants of a passive is very interesting

The passive I want in future is something that shows you the impact location of strategem attacks + a parabola targeting thing of sorts to show where your projectiles on projectile weapons are being aimed + will land

[mellow dune]

I...have a mod for that LOL

Well kinda

[hot sluice]

Have it do that, show grenade throw locations and the result of an explosion and add a weaker version of the servo throw bonus to it

[mellow dune]

I have a 3D range finding reticle for the Ultimatum and the Leveller

As a mod

[hot sluice]

Oh yeah the warrant is very nice against the obductors or whatever they're called

Obtruder

[mellow dune]

Idk

[hot sluice]

Wait that overseer change is why that gun feels even better against them now

No wonder they were struggling against me

[mellow dune]

After switching to Linux I don't think my HD will ever be the same...

Modding HD2 is like taking crack cocaine

You get exposed once and you cant stop

It destroys brain cells?

[mellow dune]

That too

HD2 audio modding makes me want to bash my head off my table

[dry copper]

I was like that with Skyrim modding

[mellow dune]

I've started to enjoy bug diving because I always brought the primary weapon flamethrower

Go onto the hive worlds and Just coat the tunnels with NAPALM

Now I need the fucking cremator

Best change however @hot sluice

LAS-98 Laser cannon
Range increased from 200m to 1000m

:3

Death Star LARP

[hot sluice]

i think it just puts it in line with other ranged weapons

laser cannon peak

Also

Here are my requested balance changes:

One-Two ergo: Buff to 40

Defoliation Tool: Starts as heavy pen, goes to antitank, bit more stagger maybe so you don't just almost insta lose it after it stops being in contact with an enemy

Adreno-Defib: Reduces bleeding damage by 20%. Whilst the temporary revive is active, you are immune to damage from all sources minus bleeding (and of course the killshot from a destroyer if you're out of bounds).

Sterilizer: Whilst the enemy is being doused in gas (and for a short time afterwards though I'm undecided on this), they gain the acid storms effect of -1 armor value for the duration of being in contact with the gas.

Constitution: Add stripper clips on an empty reload, and add a scope option and some other weapon sights.

Reinforced Epaulettes: Remove the rng chance for a limb injury to not occur. Replace it with immunity to arm injuries.

Peacemaker: Burst fire attachment

Electrical Conduit: Allow the arc damage to arc off of you back into the enemy with increased damage towards them when it hits them.

Acclimated: Reduce the duration of all the status effects it effects also (this seems to exist for the new light armor passive Concussive Padding, Hazmat, though is exclusively for gas)

Flamethrower (the strategem): Add a wider nozzle so its more for firing at crowds and the Cremator is the more balanced for single target though can handle crowds too.

Hell Divers 2 is okay

Needs more fishing

I did it.

[mellow dune]

One of my own ideas

Supplementary Adrenaline - Reduce the effect damaged limbs have (Not as much sway with broken arms, slightly faster movement with broken legs, maybe even actually sprinting with a much higher stamina drain)

As far as I'm aware the Siege breakers armour is actually made to be a sort of "tank"

[dry copper]

When you lose your limbs in HD2, can you become a useless potato that isn't dead ?

[mellow dune]

There is an achievement

"What doesn't kill you." - Survive with all broken limbs

I forgot the exact achievement description

But it's along those lines

[dry copper]

I thought it was going to be some witty quip achievement about veterans being ignored returning from war, like "VA Healthcare"

[obtuse reef]

No, you instantly die if you take enough damage to sever limbs (as far as I’m aware the limb severing is pretty arbitrary)

[dry copper]

So the limbs have to be broken and not severed

[mellow dune]

Yeah it insta kills

Even Adreno-Defib states "Helldivers body must be intact"

I'm actually curious like

How long does the revive last

I've never used the armour and it looks kinda interesting

Probably not very useful mechanic wise

[obtuse reef]

Not very long, but you can stim to counteract the health drain

[mellow dune]

Is the health drain lime

[dry copper]

mmm made coffee.

[obtuse reef]

It’s not terribly useful. They should’ve made it so that the health drain eventually stops and you go back to normal if you survive long enough

[mellow dune]

Chest haemorrhage

[obtuse reef]

Yeah

[mellow dune]

Drsin

Fair

[dry copper]

I drink decaf. I kind of miss caf.

[mellow dune]

I just wish Supplementary Adrenaline wasn't God awful

Because siege breakers armour is fucking drip

The only thing it's half decent for is higher armour rating

Even then the med armour is the only one really benefitting

Heavy armour is irrelevant because Michellin man and the new 180 Armour exist

[dry copper]

I keep getting conflicting reports about caffein. Some say it reduces kidney functions, others that it reduses kidney injury

[mellow dune]

Caffeine is fun juice

Make brain go buzz

[obtuse reef]

Just do a line of pure caffeine and see what happens

[dry copper]

You take caffein improperly.

https://klipy.com/gifs/drugs-are-bad-mkay-2

[mellow dune]

I am 70% caffeine

[dry copper]

I wish coffee grew in Canada. I wonder if it can be genetically modified to grow in Canada.

[mellow dune]

Probably

[dry copper]

Canadian grown coffee I think would make a killing

As long as it didn't taste like a Canadian

It would threaten the bread and butter of poor countries like colombia.

So there would probably be "accidental" fires.

Wow. It's only $600 to go to Colombia from Canada

[hot sluice]

Supplementary Adrenaline buff: Converts a portion of stamina lost into health if below 50% hp.

[hot sluice]

You get the achievement as mentioned but if a limb severs you will die

It's considered a "Fatal" part, enemies have these too

[hot sluice]

10 seconds roughly and it continually bleeds you out + makes your audio echo-y like you're dying

You can stim over and over to counter it and there was a bug where you could survive by staying in a mech but that got removed

[hot sluice]

Nah my rework would fix it without making it silly

[dry copper]

"Have you ever played a game and thought...'I want to experience death more intimately'?"

[mellow dune]

Elaborate

[hot sluice]

edited supplementary buff

[dry copper]

I hate games that screw with your audio to add more layers to the death sequence

[hot sluice]

oh its only with that armor and its honestly cool sounding

[dry copper]

I also hate when they add blood spatter to your screen

[hot sluice]

they don't do blood spatter but they do greyscale your view

[dry copper]

hate it

[hot sluice]

It's actually pretty cinematic but hd2 overall is like that

The worst thing is you can't run using it

[dry copper]

That's the opposite of cinematic. You don't get that at all in the cinema

[hot sluice]

It might have a niche use case with a fuck you i'm destroying you all anyways build using the port hellbomb and the buffed one true flag with its aggro mechanic

[mellow dune]

One of my favourite features of Vigor is when you're in a radioactive zone and it starts to distort your screen

[hot sluice]

its about a last stand mumbles, that's the gimmick of the armor

[mellow dune]

Along with your gieger counter screaming at you

[hot sluice]

It's genuinely not great because sometimes it just randomly activates and screws you over

[dry copper]

Now if you were dying because of radiation poisoning I could understand audio fucking with you...maybe making your heartbeat more intense or your geiger counter louder...because there doesn't necessarily need to be an immediate visual queue

[mellow dune]

It's not an intense distortion but you can..See the effect? Idk what it's called

[hot sluice]

irradiated

Vigor is not receiving updates any more for the foreseeable for the most part

Can't say I'm surprised

The gunplay update should have been WAY sooner

[mellow dune]

Its so sad because I genuinely enjoyed it

[hot sluice]

That gunplay update was actually really nice but its just not a popular game

[dry copper]

I see that distortion. It's interesting.

What game?

[mellow dune]

Vigor

[dry copper]

Vigor is a game?

[mellow dune]

Snapshotted some bozo with a Mosin

I could barely see him I'm surprised I even landed a 1 shot kill

[dry copper]

Not the best promotions online

[hot sluice]

You've likely never heard of it

[mellow dune]

Bohemia kinda left it for dead

[dry copper]

I didn't make that review

[hot sluice]

Bohemia interactive made an extraction shooter years ago

It was ok on console for a bit but the worst thing is weapon plans are in crates only

[dry copper]

Wait. Vigor is on the engine bohemia made?

[hot sluice]

so its basically loot box simulator to get guns + real time crafting timers and whatnot

[dry copper]

I love that engine

[hot sluice]

The gunplay post gunplay update where you don't just sprint everywhere and zigzag jumpshot is nice but the game is basically entirely dead

https://vxreddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1m26omy/extracting_after_death_with_the/

Now bear in mind this video is showing a bug

[mellow dune]

Vigor - The game where I have like 40 G3s stashed because I basically don't fucking like the G3

The game gives me more G3s than AKa

[hot sluice]

the greyscale isn't a bug, the audio losing its shit is the bug in the super destroyer

[dry copper]

wtf...Vigor is free

Why is this game free?

[hot sluice]

That muffled audio and the echo before they get into the ship is what adreno does to audio temporarily

because its them trying to enter the extraction shooter market

and unfortunately failing

jackfrags i think it was made a vid on it years ago

I'm not surprised most don't know it existed

[dry copper]

It's an extraction game?

[hot sluice]

Zero crossplay from pc to console afaik and very dead on pc

and recently announced no more content updates really so the game is basically done

extraction shooter set in norway during the 90s

[mellow dune]

Actually it's been around since before most of the titans

But yea Bohemia fumbled

Left it for dead

[hot sluice]

2017 or so iirc but it never got a proper audience

The crates are horrendous for newbies and some ammo crafts in real time so they just get shit on and lose everything

there's no free loadout option and they're never going to return to the game cause its EoL with smaller updates in future

Genuinely a shame, the potential for a more casual game was there

But arc raiders annihilated the remaining playerbase

[dry copper]

This is so confusing. It says loot and shoot but also build? Are you shot while building?

[hot sluice]

You build a shelter over time

a small instanced base, it takes real time to upgrade things

It's an extraction shooter overall though

[dry copper]

So you can't log off and it be done when you come back?

[mellow dune]

No you can log off

[dry copper]

Is this all hosted on dedicated servers?

[mellow dune]

The shelter is a single player instance. The Multiplayer (Encounters/Shootout/Elimination) are the Multiplayer instances

[hot sluice]

Do you not know about the extraction shooter genre

[mellow dune]

Where you do your extracting

And your PVPing

[hot sluice]

encounters is the extraction mode, shootout is tdm stuff and elim is free for all

I don't think it was ever surviving arc raiders genuinely

[dry copper]

The environment kind of looks like the east coast in Canada

[hot sluice]

despite my disdain for the atrocious aislop voice acting they're thankfully removing, arc raiders is a solid game

[mellow dune]

Glory of camouflage

[wraith horizon]

I didnt play any of the RE games yet
If i start with RE 4 is that cool?
Or is it like some timeline dependent thing

[hot sluice]

incredible soundscape, aggression based matchmaking meaning if you kill a lot of people you'll go against those players

could start with re1 ig

the older games are tank control esc so you may not like re4 original compared to the remake due to not being able to move whilst shooting

[dry copper]

Resident Evil is a clusterf of stories. As long as you understand the premise, I think you're good to go

[hot sluice]

re6 has a surprisingly in depth combat system but isn't that liked story wise

re7 was very well received, re8 was too

[dry copper]

Is that the one with multiple characters?

[hot sluice]

7 has slower gunplay than 8 which is cool because the protag actually learns to fire guns better in re8

[mellow dune]

Kinda like MGS

[hot sluice]

re6 is the one where it has the action movie style combat system and intertwining stories yeah

[mellow dune]

Nice

[hot sluice]

a lot of them have dynamic difficulty

re4 and remake does 100%

[dry copper]

Yeah it is. I played Resident Evil 6. I hated how the story progressed and then you switched characters and did the same story from another perspective.

[hot sluice]

ashley is also a VERY good escort target

she doesn't get in your way, she even said Leon look! and pointed to a boulder to help me with a boss fight

[wraith horizon]

Ight imma start with the 4th remake then move onto the more interesting ones
Like re village

[hot sluice]

If she dies its usually your fault for the most part

re4 remake has a different story to og re4, more fleshed out certain characters

[dry copper]

bbl, gunna go watch zootopia 2 or something

[hot sluice]

the game will feel very action movie to you but that's the intention

Leon parries basically anything which is quite funny to parry a pitchfork with a knife

I'd say play re7 before village so you learn who ethan is

Fairly slower paced game compared to village but yeah

some of the games have what's called mercenaries mode which is based on wave clearing enemies

high level re6 gameplay is a lot of doing a "coup de grace" to kill enemies

[wraith horizon]

Ight 4 then 7 then village then whatever is in between then requiem

[hot sluice]

you'll probably not know who chris redfield is, he's a protag in re1 and 5 but 5 is very controversial for its setting

they're all just very solid horror games but 6 is controversial cause story switching

the story is not actually in order

[wraith horizon]

I got no clue who that is
I js know of a few characters

Leon
Ethan
And lady dormamu in village

[hot sluice]

dimitrescu yeah

the dynamic difficulty is quite cool, i think its in re4 onwards?

[wraith horizon]

Remake or original re4?

[hot sluice]

If you missed a bunch of shots in the original and weren't on professional difficulty the game would slow the enemies down a bit for you, spawn more ammo etc etc

remake is easier to get into if you're not used to very old controls

you cannot move whilst shooting in re4 and the aiming will feel weird whereas in the remake you can

[wraith horizon]

Oo

[hot sluice]

not a bad game but og re4 plays very much classic mgs game style where you cannot move whilst shooting

if you've ever played a time crisis game ig its sorta like that?

Heavy reliance on laser sights in the og

But ashley proves that escort quests can be good because she's genuinely extremely helpful

she doesn't just run off screaming, you can have her hide so you can clear areas

• the thing i told you about helping with a boss fight

[wraith horizon]

Oh like those old arcade games where the protag moves around by themselves and you shoot while standing in one spot

[hot sluice]

I'll get a gameplay vid of re4, you'll tell very fast what its like

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ntPv5FpOak 11:01 in this vid is a good showing of the sorta gameplay it was designed for

This person has motion blur enabled i think unfortunately

oh yeah watch 11:10 onwards to like 11:22 ish, you can REALLY see the old movement

he does a lot of one liners in og re4 also

"No thanks, bro" is actual dialogue

Its good capcom didn't delist og re4 so you can play whatever you prefer

[wraith horizon]

Ooohhh like that
It movement locks you when you start aiming

I prefer some movement tho so imma go with the remake

[hot sluice]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFy0f1VBQDg re6 mercenaries mode really shows off how in dept re6 combat was

you could press both the fire and aim button to quick shot enemies to stun em and whatnot

2:37 here shows off the combat

that's only mercenaries mode too but the combat is always like that

in re6 you can bypass your shotgun's rof limit by switching weapons to rapid fire it for example, its a very fast paced game which is why people say its not a great horror game but a good action game

[wraith horizon]

Interesting
Ight imma look into it

[hot sluice]

remake doesn't do this and i've watched people parody cars thrown at them in requiem with leon which is honestly quite funny

They're all pretty wildly different games and then you get the age old forever debate of re3 original with tank controls vs the remake cause some do not like the remake at all

[wraith horizon]

I assume story wise all are peak?

[feral ginkgo]

Only me thinks AC 3 Story's would be better if Haytham is going with Charles Lee to warn and try to save the Natives. And when they find young Connor Haytham asks him "Who his Mother is?", and arrive late. The whole story is that Connor is introduced into the Templar Order(thanks to Haytham his father) and hunts down everyone who was really involved.

To me AC 3 story is not good in my opinion.

[mental rose]

My biggest grievance with RE3 Remake was the areas they cut, a boss and added that fricking ||tower defense segment at the hospital...|| blech.
Otherwise it was ok, though short.

[hot sluice]

I haven't played it

[mental rose]

Oh

[hot sluice]

The point of it is that haytham ultimately is very conflicted with connor existingthough

It's why their conversations are great and why the story is very good

I think connor gets a lot of shit just because of not being ezio honestly

Ezio is great but

[hot sluice]

the re story is all over honestly

[hot sluice]

This also would change connor's entire motivations mostly because his primary motivation is "WHERE IS CHARLES LEE??????????????"

Connor having a templar parent and a mother he lost presents a really interesting story of loss and how it can shape a person

It's amazing he didn't become straight up bloodthirsty towards everyone despite all he went through.

Juhani Otso Berg in AC Rogue comments on Haytham iirc highlighting his "weakness" towards his family

Which is hypocritical given juhani's reason for joining the templars initially

Play the og first . Then u will see how they masacred my raccon city boy

[edgy viper]

Imo its not the tank controls. Its how lore , canon, and sometimes logic goes down the drain in remake. It had good moments but overall its a downgrade in comparison to re3 og. Good game but bad RE.

[mental rose]

The environments in the OG trilogy are so atmospheric

[mellow dune]

well I'll be

this shit does work on linux

[austere lance]

Start with RE2make, it introduces Leon and Ada. Leon is the main character in RE4 and Ada shows up to help sometimes

Honestly I'd just go RE2make, RE4make, 7, 8, and Requiem (RE9)

[edgy viper]

Re2 remake is 50% of re2 og.

Imo go for the OGs first except the re1r. Its really good

It will get worse as algorithms evolve dynamically because some moron is going to let a script program itself.

Oh wait, too late

[barren sparrow]

I can already tell you that it's pretty good. Game has interesting world building and cool premise (I'll share a clip). I played it long long time ago. Mechanically it's similar to other games by Obsidian like Pillars of Eternity.

It's best known for the amount of choices player gets, you start as part of Overlords army that is on a march to conquer all of the known world and you can remain loyal, you can join the force resisting the Overlord and help them fight for their freedom, you can even choose to fight for yourself and your own power.

Even before starting the game proper you get to make choices that will impact the game in form of a mini-campaign about deeds of your character before reaching the place where main events take place.

[dry copper]

Can you forfeit power and become a subject of the machine?

[barren sparrow]

In what sense? You can stay loyal to the Overlord and remain a cog in his "machine", iirc

Otherwise it's a fantasy game, no robots

[dry copper]

Is this a game with an ending?

I mean a story that ends

[barren sparrow]

Yeah

Also something cool those games did, ~~instead of having a blank or generic portrait for characters not important enough to warrant it they use the character model. ~~ nvm, I think they use models for all characters.

Kinda wished Owlcat picked it up, their games could use that especially now that Dark Heresy seems to have character models with more details than Rogue trader did so it would do well as a replacement for blank portraits

"The Day My Bum Went Psycho" is the name

[dry copper]

It reminds me of that jesus picture ruined by Cecilia Gimenez

I've never heard of the day my bum went psycho. It's like someone told dr seuss to take mushrooms and stop rhyming.

[dry copper]

I don't even think it rings true in Arizona.

I don't recall ever paying 99 cents for arizona iced tea

It's not much more then that but still

99 cents is a gimmick

99 cents on the can is like manufacturers putting the MSRP on the products they make

Imagine buying an alienware with the true msrp on it....

People would stop buying alienware

[barren sparrow]

I mean, they can do that and they can expect shops to sell at a specific price. It's a matter of how the distribution is handled.

It's similar to how different products in a pack are not supposed to be sold separately

[tranquil glen]

like buying one beer out of a $6 six pack and trying to pay only $1

[barren sparrow]

They can print a price tag and if you are not selling at that price you will not be suplied with the product

[dry copper]

Amusing idea. No retailer in the world is going to let a manufacturer control their prices

Retailers have overhead.

[barren sparrow]

There are products that do it here, tho it's mainly supermarkets

Say Pepsi in a supermarket has a price printed on the label by the manufacturer; the supermarket will be selling at that price.

[dry copper]

Usually market competition does it naturally but monopolies have ruined that.

[barren sparrow]

Some random shop on the corner has without that being printed on the label and he sets the price bc it's his shop

[dry copper]

Monopolies prevent competition from growing and by preventing it from getting any market exposure when it's still in the crib so....Goodbye freedom of choice

Canada and the US are all about monopolies ruining everything for everyone.

[barren sparrow]

What are you on about?

[barren sparrow]

Not amusing, it is a thing

Manufacturers, especially when it comes to bigger companies working with big retail companies definitely have a say

[dry copper]

The inability of smaller businesses to have any success in a market with conglomerates controlling everything from market exposure to distribution logistics for entire regions

[barren sparrow]

It's nothing new

[dry copper]

I just want a 99 cent arizona iced tea.

Remember when Subway did $5 footlongs?

Those were the days

[barren sparrow]

Well, yeah. A small business, such as a small shop on the corner of a street, has no means to play in the same league as an international conglomerate. Nothing new here, either.

Though a small shop also has lower costs, they can get by because they are closer or are more convenient than a visit to a supermarket. Here, there are many small shops dealing in products from specific places: Polish shops, Armenian shops, etc. They have things general supermarkets don't have. Night shops are open when supermarkets and other corner shops aren't.

And they all charge more than the supermarket with its own distribution network and supply contracts negotiated directly with manufacturers, where things like the price after the product lands on the shelf can be agreed upon.

[barren sparrow]

Would be nice

But since it's not 99 cents, I would be okay with dropping the praises for the CEO and the "core of the brand" some people keep repeating, as the next best thing.

[dry copper]

Who is praising Arizona Iced Tea?

[barren sparrow]

Whoever made the video I replied to originally

Last line of the clip

[dry copper]

Ah

Costco's hotdog bullshit is the perfect example of pulling the rug on consumers.

They get their money back on membership fees and cutting corners elsewhere so that they can pretend to be a hero for hotdog lovers.

They own the plant making the hotdog. They raise the price of everything else to offset the cost.

The only way Costco actually loses money from their hotdog is if people go to costco and only get a hotdog.

[barren sparrow]

We don't have costco, not that I know of, but it has a more local equivalent. Similar deal, requires membership, just no hotdogs.

I've been there once.

It wasn't particularly memorable

[dry copper]

I've gone to Costco. I've seen better grocers with no membership.

Nations Fresh Foods is better than Costco for groceries.

It's one of the thingies you can craft in the prologue system of Rogue Trader at Navigators' Stations where you recruit Cassia

I don't remember it being like that

I mean, it's a much stronger effect, the one I remember you were given a handful off and it had some weak effect I don't even remember so it would just rot in my cargo hold, but this is unexpected and I'm not sure what I want to do with this.

I play as a Sanctioned psyker so it would be a nice power boost, Sanctioned psykers have -20% chance to trigger the perils of the warp so with this I would have +10% chance to trigger them.... on the other hand I know that there are some builds for Idira which rely on triggering perils and she has no initial reduction bc she's unsanctioned...

[tranquil glen]

Or a blank, i think? Are there even blanks in that game, i barely know the lore LOL

I just know blanks are like i disable yo psych shit

[barren sparrow]

Hmmmm

I think that there is a character or two that are blanks but they appear very briefly and it's easy to miss them being blanks if you don't check their stats

But otherwise there are no blanks in Rogue Trader

[barren sparrow]

I think, I don't remember very well what their deal was, all I remember that there was some attatk I had to fend off on my ship and implication being that some attackers were blank

Could also be me misremembering something

[dry copper]

...or "blanking"

https://klipy.com/gifs/law-and-order-special-victims-unit-introduction-2

[obtuse reef]

Blanks are also really funny because they have a tendency to make people near them really uncomfortable

Not because blanks as people are weird, but because they’re basically a mini psychic dead zone

[mental rose]

Aren't they technically soulless, because they don't have a presence in the Warp?

[mental rose]

Blanks can also end up as anti-Psyker assassins with a Monocle of Death-like weapon
The Culexus.

Though they do compete with Sisters of Silence for recruits, since blanks are born one-in-a-billion, maybe even less.

[mental rose]

Further amplified if you're a Psyker, then being near a blank causes you actual physical pain.

[barren sparrow]

Lore kind of goes back and forth on it. Normal people's souls shine in the warp, and psykers can see their auras using their witchsight. Untouchables, Pariahs, or Blanks project a null field around them, and instead of shining in the warp, they create an opposite effect, as if light was being devoured, like a spot on a paper that is about to ignite.

That could lead to the conclusion that they don't have souls, but there was at least one instance of a Blank selling their soul to daemons and using the warp to reach out to their past self. She was a Silent Sister in training, before vow of silence

[mental rose]

Interesting.

[mental rose]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwW6lObTibU

To think there was an augmented Blank powerful enough, it could've Thanos-snapped The Emperor himself, had it succeeded.

[barren sparrow]

THE VOICE
James Swallow

I guess the implication here isn't that the gene was literally removed and she stopped being a blank, but is more of a figure of speech as blank isn't something purely genetical. Her alternative future version stopped being a blank and was able to use sorcery.

[inland oasis]

I love the cullexus

But my personal fave goes to Eversors

[tranquil glen]

did they actually add sulfuric acid

why mojang added so much modded sht

[barren sparrow]

The video is wrong.

1. Black Pariah is not a combination of a daemon and a blank. There was only one Black Pariah. It was a project of the Assassinorum Clade Culexus. They wanted to create a pariah that could kill in the same way Culexus usually do, but with no need for the extra equipment Culexus usually need: a blank capable of harnessing residual warp energies leaking from psykers and directing it as a weapon.

2. The ship carrying the most promising individual fell into a star, but it was not because he was too powerful. I don't even remember exactly why, but he was barely conscious when he was found by Erebus, who bound a daemon to him so the guy could become an assassin of the traitor legions. The main benefit was shapeshifting and the ability to extract thoughts and memories from individuals Black Pariah wanted to impersonate.

[mental rose]

Oh

[inland oasis]

To add to point 1, imagine if they HAD given them the cullexus gear tech then 😭😂

[barren sparrow]

Whether Spear, the black pariah in question, could kill the Emperor is purely theoretical.

He acquired a sample of His blood, which seemed to have been a requirement to trigger his abilities, but to use them properly he would need to get close. Spear also commented that psykers in general are a danger to him.

Some characters in the book it was taken from, Nemesis, throw lines stating that the Emperor could probably smite the guy the moment he showed up in the Sol system, though no one who spoke knows the real capabilities of the Emperor.

[tranquil glen]

dont a few Silent Sisters know the screaming skeletal appearance of The Emperor?

[barren sparrow]

They know, as does everyone who entered the Golden Throne Room, which almost no one does except a few Custodes, Sisters of Silence feeding Big E his daily portion of psykers, and the aforementioned psykers, though they won't be leaving that room.

Also

It's not like Imperium is hiding that big E doesn't look as pretty as he used to

The most common depiction of the Emperor on the Golden Throne is just a prop set up for pilgrims who come to Holy Terra and the real big E is deep within the palace

[barren sparrow]

It used to be a thing back when he was around, walking and talking to people.

He would appear a bit different to different people. Some in the community speculate that he would just reflect back at you what you thought he should look like. E.g., to Word Bearers who worshipped Him as a god before the Horus Heresy, he would be so bright they couldn't look at him without being blinded. However, Ultramarines present in the same scene didn't seem affected in the same way, though we aren't told what they saw.

These days we don't really know much, but it doesn't seem to still be a thing.

[tranquil glen]

ah

[pulsar edge]

HERO NUMBER ONE OF SUPER EARTH!!! lol

[tranquil glen]

yea just look out for the blueberries

[barren sparrow]

From The First Heretic

It could be that Big E made the Word Bearers feel this way on purpose, as this scene takes place in the ashes of Monarchia, but on the other hand, it would be weird if he came to humble them and definitively state they are not to worship him because he isn't a god, and at the same time make himself look like a holy figure. Big E also doesn't seem super pissed off until Lorgar speaks back to him that he is a god in all but name.

Dying Light The Beast is adding a huge new update that features a new mode that fundamentally rethinks the entire game

This is Restored Land:

- In this mode, the entire world is now persistent. Loot does not respawn and neither do zombies

- Mission is to take back Castor Woods from the infected by clearing out the map of Zombies with new quests & activities

- Heavy focus on the hunger system and survival mechanics

- Liberating locations will result in humans taking over them and turning them into outposts

- The Beast becomes a fundamentally different game in this mode, much closer to a survival title

- There’s a permanent death mode as well with special rewards for finishing it

- The update adds new finishers, and new loot to the main game

- New vehicle challenges are here as well…

I'm so disappointed in the developers of Crimson Desert for some of the decisions they've made to bottleneck the GPU throughput.

If you want to use DLSS with frame generation, you need to have a 40 series GPU or higher.

The 30 series supports both

Now I gotta mod the game just to optimize

This is pathetic.

[tranquil glen]

wouldnt be disappointed if your expectations were already low

[chilly scaffold]

Dq has the opportunity to do the funniest thing possible and just resell the original version of 11 pre downgrade

[dry copper]

I didn't have high expectations. This is the kind of shit I'd expect to see in an early access game.

[dry copper]

Anticipating future marketing strategies, this reviewer covered it best

[austere lance]

It also used misleading advertising to sell the game

[split ridge]

I was considering playing that game but I'm not sure I want to anymore lol

[dry copper]

I'm kind of hoping the developers get off their asses and focus on creating a better lighting solution than forcing people to live with it or upgrade.

[hot sluice]

That new revolver they're adding next season is so nice sounding

I have a weapon swapping build that involves a named fal named goalie, a mk46 lmg using measured, and then it'll be that revolver when its added

w/ ongoing directive and centurion's scabbard

div2 gets a lot of shit for not being div1 but i love how experimental they've gotten with exotics

Now if only they'd buff my beloved true patriot and tots

TP has a major bug where the explosion scales off of your stats, not enemy stats

They should fix that or play into it and make the explosion hit harder

[inland oasis]

I use hardwired, with the seeker mine cluster, and turret sniper. Both doing over 2.2m dmg. And pestilence and a godroll “Lexington” Lvoa assault rifle. (Not to be confused with dmr rifle variant)

[hot sluice]

tots should genuinely be amplified damage for specialization weapons and include a base weapon handling buff of like 30% (comparable to vedmedysta vest)

the lexington being automatic is nice, good change

amazed to see someone using sniper turret honestly

I want ortiz exuro to be actually worth using, imperial dynasty too

[inland oasis]

So with hard wired there’s a loop to keep your skills infinitely with those 2

[hot sluice]

wtf is the story now though (i can tell it was 100% meant to end to go into div3 after end of watch)

just got bluescreen today also

whiplash (next season exotic), regulus, eagle bearer, sacrum imperium, strega and ravenous are the only ones left i want

i need more loadout slots too

[inland oasis]

Throw seekers, wait till they explode for the cooldown, place turret, get the cooldown back for seekers again.

Then either use a few shots and or pick the turret up again instantly. And as soon as you use the seekers just wait for them to explode everytime before planting a turret. Repeat for infinity

[hot sluice]

And a proper tanking system with threat gen (they had this in division 1 where suppressors reduced your threat) and blue cores maybe having a base DR applied to your armor

my skill build uses striker drone + assault turret and 4 pieces of refactor

[inland oasis]

I’ll be honest I haven’t kept up since like the Faye betrayal

[hot sluice]

surprisingly solid armor healing

oh its a mess, keener is actually not dead and we're working with him now to take down hunters because the hunters are the big bad

theo parnell is also alive

[inland oasis]

This is like having 2 other agents with you :p

[hot sluice]

i watched someone sprint past legendary enemies on capitol building legendary and tank their shots with it

i wish bombadier drones were worth using

deflector has a niche ridgeways pride build but ridgeways requiring 5 enemies bleeding is too much

gonna get regulus eagle bearer and ravenous through an event eventually tbh, i don't do raids

and fuck division pvp, i will never enjoy it ever

If not for big alejandro coming back i'd likely have never played again

[inland oasis]

I’m terrible with builds. I have 2.. lol

The game throws so much at you at one time I can’t keep track often of what I need or where is an improvement for build A B or C etc etc

I like a clean inventory too 😭😂

[hot sluice]

make builds around themes

tank build, foundary initiative or w/e its called, memento cause its good, bulwark shield, liberty, that purple artificer hive to heal your shield (don't drop it its meant for you only in that build)

[tranquil glen]

what game dis

[hot sluice]

dps build could be anything tbh but an equalizer chest with perfect obliterate and whatnot can work

[inland oasis]

Division 2

[tranquil glen]

ah

[hot sluice]

the division 2, the only ubisoft game i have ever known where they announced EOL for the game but then came BACK to the game to update it again

absolutely bizarre news when i heard that

repair trap is still bleh which is a shame

[inland oasis]

My second build is striker with ninja bike so I have like 3 builds infused into the 4pc bonus of striker.

Always bullet king, and then anything else

Typically a sniper

[hot sluice]

ninjabike is very cool

i got shroud recently, didn't hit as hard as i wanted but that's cause i don't have overdogs

[inland oasis]

I sacrifice the larger stack cap of the striker bag iirc that’s what it did

To me it’s worth

[hot sluice]

you could do an armor on kill build hybridizing with hunter's fury if you have an smg

backfire was always a weird one but by god it hits hard if you know how to use it

[inland oasis]

I have a few wild rpm vectors

[hot sluice]

AND if you want an off meta build slot in ninjabike kneepads and vault to reload

[inland oasis]

Got one of the backfire too

[hot sluice]

my big alejandro fires at like 1260 rpm

+5% cause of gunner on kill bonus

[inland oasis]

That’s the mg42? I don’t think I ever got one

[hot sluice]

its from the anniversary event pass thing, there's only a week left of it

[inland oasis]

Ohhhh. Was gonna say I never saw it before. Sounds awesome lol

[hot sluice]

if you're not adverse to just buying the premium credits you could get through some of it doing that

[inland oasis]

Like actual audio of it

[hot sluice]

its an ameli mg3 hybrid i believe

its a very stationary based weapon for the most part/cover shooting (its talent is called cover shooter), but its a lovely gun

my weirdest build involves primarily healing others through armor kits through a chestpiece called everyday carrier

it aoe heals cause of the set i use iirc but i forgor which set

i use acosta's go bag with that one, nobody uses that exotic

[inland oasis]

There’s a lot to that game now.

So much so half the times idk what I’m doing, I just have fun playing it.

I basically cleared my entire map of every bounty today just cuz. No goal just that 😂 scrapped literally everything and called that a session. It’s why I don’t rly play with anyone cuz my style is beyond random

[hot sluice]

75% chance to not consume the armor repair kit (also the game doesn't tell you this but you can double tap your armor button to fast apply one for a portion of healing but it has a cd)

[inland oasis]

Full of knowledge but I horribly implement it

[hot sluice]

read up a bunch of sets and go to "the summit" and set your targeted loot to whatever you're looking for

striker is very often ran with a gun called st elmos engine that fires electric ammo

[inland oasis]

I cleared summit countless times. I love targeting loot

[hot sluice]

not for the elec ammo its just a very stable firing gun

[inland oasis]

Same with countdown

[hot sluice]

i remember the time when the floor 100 hunters was just sit in the room before that big room and stunlock them with shock traps

i HATE fighting them atp

deceit during concealed agenda wasn't horrendous at least but

if you want pain try 10 directive summit

[inland oasis]

I still think pestilence is by far my damn fave gun. I can spray down enemies with striker, run away and for literally the next like 15-20 seconds shit is STILL just dying from the DOT

[hot sluice]

pestilence is incredible

pestilence negotiators dilemma for a double dose

the backpack i think it is increases the 60% damage copying to 112%

i got bluescreen today also, lovely lmg

[inland oasis]

Eclipse protocol or hotshot also I heard, whichever is the status effect prominent build

[hot sluice]

negotiators is weird if you've not played it cause you have to fire at multiple enemies to proc it

ongoing directive pestilence is very free damage too

eclipse protocol is the cc spread one

hotshot is a weird one about chaining headshots for a small headshot bonus and large bonus armor

[inland oasis]

Ohhh idk why I though that had something to do with the flame turret 😂

[hot sluice]

but bonus armor is covered by heartbreaker which you use pulse with or technician specializaiton's laser

nah you're thinking ortiz exuro

absolute garbage set afaict

your turret rotates 360, you dont get set on fire by it and it explodes when it expires

[inland oasis]

Fire turret is so shit

[hot sluice]

4 pieces and it does that, its terrible

[inland oasis]

Just bad

I’d rather just have the base one

[hot sluice]

if you think that's bad you need to look at imperial dynasty and rugged gauntless

rugged lets you have less hipfire recoil

[inland oasis]

A super fun exotic is dynasty holster

[hot sluice]

its just terrible unfortunately

if the fire could chain spread maybe?

[inland oasis]

Catches whatever closest to you on fire lmao

[hot sluice]

but its an exotic slot it should be stronger

[inland oasis]

I love it

[hot sluice]

if i want fire i'll use iron lung

sure i'm firing half my mag to set someone on fire but its nice cc

[inland oasis]

That one’s fun too

I been using capacitor a bit for the hardwired build.

[hot sluice]

my favourite alltiem weapon is probably the big game hunter itself, bighorn

[inland oasis]

Think I’m more used to the other ones tho

I love the nemesis

[hot sluice]

Enemies are coded to move weird if you're aiming a marksman rifle at them also which is why i use mantis over nemesis

mantis constant resets your decoy

[inland oasis]

Oh yea I have like 3 of those.

[hot sluice]

and its amplified damage to those not targeting you which is multiplicative iirc

nemesis is bugged unfortunately

the screen doesn't darken when charging the shot

[inland oasis]

Shit exotic imo is the “Scorpio” 😂

[hot sluice]

scorpio was meta for stunlocking hunters on floor 100

can't mess with your skills if you just foam em to death

[inland oasis]

I rly just don’t like that thing lol

[hot sluice]

you can fire foam rounds through ouroboros as well but you'd have to inflict yourself with it first

[inland oasis]

Foam is such a funny playstyle I love seeing that

[hot sluice]

scorpio isn't bad but it requires some investment

but yeah whiplash next season is perfect for me

[inland oasis]

The audio sounding like a bunch of canned biscuits busting open 😂

[hot sluice]

switch to it after its primed, switch back and free damage

also centurion's scabbard auto reloads lmgs because it adds 50% to the capacity of the total mag not the current

so as long as i have the buff in order where my second weapon is the rof my first will reload itself

goalie works so well with ongoing directive genuinely cause ongoing counts as a status effect and goalie is a fal with multiplicative damage afaik to status affected targets

[inland oasis]

I tried out the realism mode for like a day or two. All I can say is that needs a total rework or something

[hot sluice]

its intended to be a niche mode, idk if theyll do much with it

[inland oasis]

Parts are okay but the whole game feels so gutted

[hot sluice]

I can't wait to see how survivors does, survival in div1 was pretty damn good

[inland oasis]

OMFG best mode

[hot sluice]

heartland was going to be an extraction shooter but they killed it

[inland oasis]

That I am actually excited for

[hot sluice]

i got killed in a crossfire between lmb and rikers in the dz in that mode iirc

if you stay long enough you can live to daytime

[inland oasis]

I was a menace in it 😂

[hot sluice]

I hate div1 movement after playing 2 though and div1 gun recoil is ballistic

[inland oasis]

I only picked fights where I was able to follow people that don’t see me coming 😂

[hot sluice]

caduceus was fun to use but good lord the recoil

oh i just did pve only

offering both options is good

snow will look great in div2 i reckon

kinda want div3 to not exist if they can just add to div2 honestly

div1 is honestly overrated as hell

its a good game sure but div2 feels better to play to me

pulse tac link on everyone lmao

that keener mission where you fight a warhound with him though, jfc that was awful

spongy as hell for no reason even on normal and he himself can get downed and bleedout

[inland oasis]

I’d like a div 3.
I love new fresh starts. It’s the reason I still keep an empty player slot in case I wanna refresh thru it again. with how the game is now. Cuz all my other characters have been since day 1, after hitting max level in like a week or two, beating the story n stuff

[hot sluice]

If we see sokolova and fight her or capture her in div2 i'd be surprised

[inland oasis]

Div 2 is the type of game I’ll not come back to for like a month cuz I’m playing other stuff, but it’s never cuz I got bored, or quit, got mad, or don’t like it. Idk what it is but I’ll always come back to it and find something to do in it to pass time and it’s good fun, even if I’m clueless to what I’m rly getting

Never gonna forget div 1

[inland oasis]

I’ve spent an unhealthy amount of time just messing with all the outfits lmao

[hot sluice]

I use the uhhhh

leon kennedy pants, leon kennedy rpd boots or w/e they're called

and that one hawaiian looking shirt i forgot the name of

the pink and blue one

with the summit 10 directives arm badge

[dry copper]

Div 2 tried to include div 1 with dlc shit. I hope Div 3 has a setting with both city and suburbs to explore

I'm thinking...Detroit

[hot sluice]

brooklyn and wony nyc are cool environments compared to the base game

i reckon div3 will get cancelled knowing ubi tbh

or they'll try some weird open world ghost recon breakpoint before the update that let you customize the game the way you wanted it style gameplay

It amazes me they genuinely restarted development on div2, i've never seen them do that ever

[dry copper]

This game (Crimson Desert) has tried to copy RDR2's bounty system but it neglected to add the most important part. A fuckin point.

In RDR2 each bounty had a story. Discovering that story is what motivated one to pursue it (and the money) and the arrests were colorful with closure. There was dialogue, banter, an amusing mission accomplished feeling.

In Crimson Desert the closest to a point you get is a short blurb on a wanted poster and voice lines from the NPC as you're carrying them in after arresting them. The lines aren't original or insightful nor do they progress their individual narratives - They are one liners you'd expect from any NPC that's being manhandled.

The animations and dialogue are identical for every bounty brought in from the city guard and you don't even get to see the prisoners in prison after the fact. They despawn entirely like they were fed to a machine.

They turned a beloved bounty hunter system into a farce.

[dry copper]

They are coordinates and orders that were encrypted by the soviets for sleeper cells to decrypt.
