Build revolving decoctions

[supple glen]

Griffin sets cool it's signs & combat focused but it gives Geralt a dad bod

[steel grail]

But by the time u are able to put on witcher gear, the build kinda makes itself

Also idk if they changed anything but the combat before new gen update and after felt very different to me

[supple glen]

a bunch of little changes were made like quick cast

[steel grail]

Also I just noticed that msg. Axii is mostly used for dialogue checks and igni, like aard is pretty powerful on a proper build

Before new gen update one of my build was bleed + burn + poison on death march

Basically for the achievement but still. Most fun I ever had in a video game

[dry copper]

Replaced second play session. Combat getting much more challenging with enemies ganging up on you. Fortunately heavy atks have a clear prompt, so they're easy to see coming. I especially appreciate the fatality animations. I grabbed a guy mid air, flipped him over on the ground and shot him in the face point blank. 5/5 would blam again.

[dry copper]

I wish there were more melee fatalities

Replaced

The level designs of this game (Replaced) are beautiful an dystopian in a dark af way. Better than Cyberpunk did...feels more like Deus Ex graphics wise.

Learn to play with your food more. I'm 15 hours in and not bored at all.

They add new abilities as you play

One complaint about Replaced:
There are sick songs you can find scattered throughout the game but you can't listen to them and play at the same time.

You're forced to play them on the wingman device and just sit there

[simple nebula]

is starfield worth buying for my brother

[fast blade]

PEOPLE, what game do i buy? I got 50 bucks

[fast blade]

YES

[delicate radish]

[fast blade]

Want an action game like cyberpunk/uncharted etc.

[delicate radish]

It is by far one of the best games I have ever played

[dry copper]

Sorry I can't recommend any games. I'm enamored by Replaced.

[delicate radish]

ABF is Action scifi survival, has base building, survival, weapon creation, upgrade paths, great story, Darksouls 1 Progression system (Shortcuts and everything is linked) It is just a masterpeice

Humble Choice and Humble Bundle are two different things from the same company

[dry copper]

My coworkers glaze tf out indie games they so annoying

[fast blade]

The game i want is 50 bucks everywhere :Sob:

[dry copper]

This months includes AC Valhalla, Daemon X Machina, LOTR Return to Moria, Until Then, Planet of Lana...It paid for itself about three games ago

[fast blade]

Always the uncharted legacy of thieves... 50 bucks everywhere.

[dry copper]

I don't know if it's supposed to be a joke but they also include a free monthly sub to IGN+...Which as a joke I never claim

[fast blade]

I scammed tf outta gog galaxy. I bought like 5 games, returned them all. got all the money back, and still kept the games 😭 Shit's still on my pc.

[dry copper]

I claim the games and let IGN rot.

[fast blade]

Wdym?

[steel grail]

U could go for Project Gorgon. Seems like its entertainment goes beyond game /s

[dry copper]

Not wise to scam one of the most consumer friendly platforms on the market. Do you want no choice, because that's how you get no choices

[simple nebula]

is arc raiders worth buying

[hasty rain]

Buy pragmata

It wtv it’s called

Actually I’m not sure how much it is

[fast blade]

I mean, not really scamming. I returned games, like cyberpunk. Got my money back, game was still in my library and i was able to play it.

[dense star]

Reminds me of back in the day when Redbox was a thing. 😎

[hasty rain]

Reaallly showing that age

I remember it when I was like 12 and then it just disappeared

[dense star]

Streaming services killed I suppose but it was fun burning movies to keep forever instead of buying DVDs. Cheaper than Blockbuster man (:

[fast blade]

Still cyberpunk.

And i returned it.

But the only downside is, GOG galaxy doesn't let u connect ur PS account.

So i don't have my stuff on cyberpunk.

[fast blade]

So, do yk a good game? Stuff like uncharted, cyberpunk etc. (Uncharted is 50 bucks everywhere) 😭

@dry copper i despise the ubisoft store. Whenever i try to load the normal store page, it just loads infinite. 😭

Everyone, is ubsisoft+ Worth it?

[lucid rapids]

Try gamebillet

[fast blade]

47.. that 3 bucks is no difference 😭

Uncharted man..

[dry copper]

For PC? I've been playing Replaced for the last 20 hours. It's fantastic

I'd say Replaced is an indie GOTY contender

[dry copper]

No. It's not.

[fast blade]

Alright. Btw, is G2G trustable?

It's su.

s

Its sus

[dry copper]

No

[fast blade]

How so, many people say it is.

[dry copper]

Any gaming site that sells game accounts is suspect. Game accounts are not transferrable, so they're openly saying they're selling you something that's not legal to sell.

[fast blade]

Not accounts.

Key's.

[dry copper]

The g2g website says it sells game accounts, "coaching", skins, gift cards, game items...No idea about games.

All I know is that any game seller site that advertises selling shit that's not legal to sell is not a legal website

[fast blade]

Tbf, idc whether it's legal or not, only thing i care about if is i get the ey.

key.

[dry copper]

Then you shouldn't be asking on a discord server that has rules that prohibit promoting illegal shit.

[fast blade]

Not promoting shit, just asking.

[dry copper]

Not true.

I don't know what "most key sites" you're talking about are called.

I use half a dozen that do not.

[supple glen]

one key site notably got exposed over it I know of three other sites with rumours circulating

a ducks a ducks a duck

[dry copper]

lol

If you trust a company because it sells you stolen shit, you can trust you're being sold to someone else. They ain't gunna do shit with your cc. It's everything else you provide they will.

[fast blade]

So what dso i provide?

[dry copper]

You

CC=Details

They want credible information that can be used to identify you for selling higher tier "meta" data

The more info that links to you, the more the data is worth

Gets all packed in a bundle and sold with a bunch of other suckers

The people that buy the data aren't just firms analyzing data to manipulate people to buy shit, either

The shadier the retailer, the more open to selling willy nilly with little regard for privacy

[haughty rapids]

Hey guys... we do not allow conversations pertaining to piracy or stolen keys here

[dry copper]

One of the reasons I really like "Isthereanydeal": they curate their retailers to ensure everything is above board on the aggregator and then list the best deals across all of the best legal retailers. No suspicious crap. No worries.

You can also make a list of games you want and what you want to pay and the website will tell you when/if one of the retailers they list hits your price point.

Reminders and everything

I wish Discord defaulted to not detecting my games.

and game was like

"Yea sorry fucko we giving you late spark and no speed"

Mayano Top Gun run gonna be hilarious

"Lemme get a horse that just runs."

"Yea what style?"
"Uhhhhh....All of them?"

[hot sluice]

They have aggression based matchmaking iirc so there's less chance of pvp if you don't go around killing other players often

If you need an item for some quest you can just place it in a safe pocket (you don't get them on free loadouts), so even if you do get downed you keep the item

I played for a bit but i don't think i'd ever play again tbh

only extraction i play currently from time to time is hunt showdown

Shame about the cringe genai voice acting stuff but apparently they were gonna remove it

The rattler is one of the cooler guns i've seen in a game I will say

It's an assault rifle but you load it 2 shots at a time like a bolt action rifle, very interesting starting weapon

Not sure if they fixed it ever also but in the tutorial if you drop everything in your inventory before you interact with the door, when you get knocked out in the cutscene the gear you dropped will stay on the ground

[obtuse reef]

I like ARC Raiders. The late game kinda sucks tho

I’ve got all the upgrades I want, so I just shoot at the big robots now

[dry copper]

Find an alternative game to play that's cooked well with seasoning for a few days and see how interested you are in continuing to eat that giant over seasoned steak.

[inland oasis]

this is a finely seasoned game. its just got a few burnt spots

[dry copper]

I genuinely feel like Crimson Desert is a good game, but that given how I feel taking a couple days off, it might have been a sunk cost fallacy driving my initial hours.

Especially with the 8 hour onboarding series necessary just to get through the tutorial stages

[inland oasis]

i feel biased all the time giving it so much praise but thats cuz usually i have high standards. this has its issues and theyre pretty big, but i can overlook them. due to idk i guess this just being My type of game. since witcher 3 and rdr2 also sat so well with me. and most of the games that feel mashed into this ive played and enjoyed, it kinda seems obvious id like it

[dry copper]

Woo this reminds me

[inland oasis]

dialogue is just a huge letdown in this. and everything tied to that including the story pulls it down cuz it feels emotionless.

The idea of the story and concept is a classic cliche catch the bad guy story but meh. i like it. its nothing memorable by any means and thats not why i enjoy playing this

[dry copper]

It's too soon to get a good read out on performance numbers...I suspect the active player numbers will take a nose dive soon

[inland oasis]

thats what i worry about is no replayability. so im just slooowly crawling thru to try n see it all. until dlc its not the new game+ type i dont think. or maybe the dlc will be a NG+

[dry copper]

I have an idea of a whole new concept for NG+ they could go.

You get to play Damiane, the voice dialogue is female and the NPC responses change accordingly. Instead of following Kliff's story, you're following Damiane's and Kliff is a secondary character.

Then they could do a NG++ where the third one you play as Oongka

Oongka as the main character.

[mental rose]

And Ubisoft's response to The Crew shutting down was basically "No we are not going to give you a refund, because you never owned the game in the first place"

[obtuse reef]

It’s really funny how a game isn’t something you own until you pirate it, suddenly you’re practically stealing the food out of the CEO’s mouth

[mental rose]

"If buying is not owning, then piracy is not theft"

[desert holly]

i hear ubisoft aint doing well

[mental rose]

They pretty much sold themselves to Tencent, to stay on life support.

Hell, Expedition 33 could've been Ubisoft's game, but the suits rejected the concept.
"Duhh... Singleplayer games are dead, they don't sell anymore..."

So they went independent instead and broke banks. 😄

Black Flag remake has to sell like crazy, if they ever hope to make a comeback.
Or it just might be their swansong.

[dry copper]

Don't you hand stuff my video games!

[dry copper]

I doubt it. There's always more bodies to sell.

I'm starting to like Atari again

They bought some of Ubisoft's IPs, possibly starting a trend of giving the giant the option of grace in recovery

Tencent's ownership of Ubisoft isn't enough to be considered "owning" Ubisoft. They have 26% stake in a shared subsidiary that spins off of Assassins Creed, Far Cry and Rainbow Six.

I'm surprised Tencent didn't bid for the tom clancy ghost recon series.

or Division

Who knows. Maybe Tencent will help them spin AC again so it doesn't look like a parkouring cash cow.

[tranquil glen]

its been one since they released far wider open worlds

(origins>>>)

[dry copper]

Far Cry is cooked as far as I am concerned. I have no idea how they could ever hope to save that franchise.

Far Cry 5 was good imo, but not good enough to save it and Far Cry 6 was an absolute shit show

Far Cry 6 was a pretty version of Just Cause

Done worse

[barren sparrow]

So, context: In Lex Imperialis DLC for Rogue Trader there is a point where you get to pass some judgments and a case presented now was that guy was attacked by pirates and contact with him went out for a while and his wife got Administratum to issue a death certificate, took over their business and remarried.

No the guy is back and she argues he isn't who he claims to be bc she clearly has a paper saying her husband is dead.

You can ask your companions to give some input so here is what Heinrix thinks:

Does the lady have a document confirming she is alive? No? Then she is to be declared dead.

[mental rose]

The Administratum is such a bureucratic HELL it's actually funny.
Going through it for a companion, whose name I've forgotten.

To get... what was it... Trader permit?

[barren sparrow]

Yeah, you can either get into some shenanigans to speed it up/kill time or wait in the queue for like over 24h and when you finally make it your form is 3h expired

There is an achievement for that tho and you can bribe the clerk to still process it...

2.8% of players got the achievement for waiting in the queue... I mean, I got 460h in the game since March 2026 and I only got it today

[hot sluice]

it probably will

interestingly also, ubisoft confirmed a leak was real on twitter of an early version of black flag remastered

It's sounding very much like mirage if it had an actual good combat system

Which if I'm right here is not a bad thing

I think its going to have valhalla's "investigation mode" style of gameplay as an option where you can get given instructions instead of waypoints

Instead of "enter the marketplace" and showing an icon maybe you have to use eagle vision to determine where said marketplace is, then go there and find your tailing target or something yourself

I'm very interested in how they're going to handle the boat tailing mission because I think its the best tailing mission in the game due to the environment

Not sure if they'll remove the modern day stuff cause its pretty important to the story overall

I doubt they'll ruin black flag as a story, its a genuinely incredible story and edward ranks highly protagonist wise for character development and his overall character to me

Altair will remain my favourite, arno one of my favourites too because he's just a guy caught up in bigger things than himself

ezio great protag but very overrated

[steel grail]

I liked Ezio in the first one because of how well that game was made

Just finished watching the last episode of Invincible season 4

It ended and I said "Are you fucking kidding me?"

Ten seconds later, the show popped on again and Alan responds "You've gotta be kidding me"

I hate cliff hangers.

Here's something to be upset about

[dry copper]

I wonder if the importers who paid the tariff are going to forward the discount to retailers who got stiffed

This issue happening with tariffs is gunna really drive the foreign market in north america

At least I think so.

This is a huge incentive for foreign markets to get in under the wire before the shit comes piling in again

Expect the market to get flooded

the ending was expected for me it was a natural end for a tv season

what were they gunna do have the second mark x you know who moment as the series final

Hey guys i was just wondering about the Starfield game release in PS5 is it worth buying? I seen it offers more quality gaming & Graphics as well but some say it’s not worth like if you played NMS you find soo many restriction on Starfield like you can't manually land on planets same as NMS so dose anyone have the game and tell me if it's worth buying? I mean in my country the game is round 49.99$ dollars so it's expensive to say that's why i want to know if it's worth it or not...

[tranquil glen]

aside from some combat based things (that i find better), I find that NMS is better. but then again depends on you, I suggest watching gameplay videos

[barren sparrow]

I tried Starfield when I still had game pass and got very quickly filtered out by loading screens and long and boring introduction sequence

[supple glen]

based off the points you made I would say just play outer worlds instead
but i think Starfield is fine if you play it by itself without comparing to other games

[spiral pike]

Sonic Project 06 is a good game even if your not a Sonic Guy, Graphics, Level Design, Music, and Gameplay is better than the Retail Sonic 06

[dry copper]

Gunna be honest with you. The landing on planets from space thing gets old eventually, namely because as a mechanic its only value is in getting to the other side of a given planet faster. So, if that's the hitch keeping you from playing Starfield, it's not a very compelling argument.

Starfield is an entirely different game. There is not a single element of it that feels or plays like HG's NMS.

If you're not eager to play, I'd recommend tagging the game on a discount aggregator for when it's more within your preferred price range.

https://isthereanydeal.com/game/starfield/info/

Current best price is on Fanatical.

Make sure the retailers sell in your region ( don't know what it is)

[arctic jasper]

You have the game?

[opaque wigeon]

I think about Starfield, but this autumn I buy Clair Obscur.

And by this summer I plan to launch Mass Effect: Legendary Edition.

[dry copper]

I beat it, yes.

The best part about it is the ability to customize the interior of your ship using mods.

I made my ship into a mobile home with a kitchen, cargo bay, gym, living quarters, science lab, crafting area all organized with zero ladders.

Back when I played it, this couldn't be done without heavily modifying the game

Not sure now with all of the changes

I enjoyed the sense of being in a living ship with people that have things to do

Even the annoying child that only gets in the way

[opaque wigeon]

Looks quite promising.

But I have no big hopes with Ubisoft.

The last Ubi game I bought is ANNO 1800.

I still have to buy last add-ons.

[austere lance]

Their Avatar game was damn good (and very pretty) and Assassins Creed Shadows was the best one they've released in a long time, I think the remake of AC4 will be solid

[opaque wigeon]

Maybe... 😐

Dunno, for me Assassin's Creed ended with Unity, but I have Syndicate too and I think this is the end of it.

They should change how Juno ended up.

Killed in comic and no in game. Heh!

Amateurs from Ubi!

[austere lance]

As someone who's played every AC and finished all of them besides 1, Unity, and Valhalla, Shadows is by far the best one they've released in a while.
And Avatar hooked me hard enough to dump 30 hours into it and do basically everything there is to do in the base game 😆

[frail yoke]

Nah syndicate was great

Origins is a bit much though, I’m all over the place and I don’t really feel the continuity in the story

[opaque wigeon]

Yeah!

And Arno's story was good too.

I know about some problems, but after all those years it seems to be a quite nice game.

[frail yoke]

I do have things to say, yes, like how they seem to abandon the whole duality between old and modern times with using the uh… what’s the machine’s name again? Less and less although that’s the aspect of it I enjoyed the most

However it seems I’m alone in this so maybe they’re not wrong

[steel grail]

I wouldn't say u are alone. I felt the same way

I cant remember which one it was but when they added rpg elements to the game like having to choose from different dialogues and such

Thats when I knew they lost the plot themselves

[frail yoke]

Well especially since it doesn’t really affect the story so they didn’t commit to that choice

It feels useless

[verbal plume]

Syndicate is good

[austere lance]

@verbal plume Did you see the new combat gameplay? It's kinda like a more refined Unity. Parrying sets enemies up for counter kills, and you can chain kills after you do a counter kill

[verbal plume]

Yes I did, it looks really good

Wish they did it for AC1 still

But it's fine

[dry copper]

After beating Avatar, I could not bring myself to do the DLC...even owning it. I was like...fuck it. This shit should've been pushed earlier in the story.

I wrote off the ashes dlc entirely

I don't wanna play a secondary protagonist.

Like you fart near someone but they smell something delicious

Woo I got it. Freshly baked vanilla cookies.

You can get spray that smells like that.

"Horse, its just sunlight..."

The first time i heard about it was on a video about how amazon threw money to compete with steam and lost completely, the fact that most ppl dont know about Luna is a testament to the level of their failure

Or is it....

I saw it not long ago...

Can confirm. Luna is still operational

I have Luna. I've never used it. I refuse to engage with cloud gaming. I don't even like cloud saving.

[lucid jolt]

damn...im surprised it still is

aye..I hate cloud gaming, but i can understand ppl who dont own a good PC but wants to play it...but the same person has 1 GBPS data connection?

does cloud gaming even exist in germany? dont they have one of the worst internet speeds out there?

[dry copper]

Das ist gut!

They really tried to coax me with Luna when they bought the rights to share Alan Wake 2 on Luna.

I had to actively resist that one.

A free play of a really expensive game I wanted to play but couldn't afford.

[inland oasis]

Hands down my FAVORITE move in the game XD

absolutely turning foes into lawnchairs they get folded so hard

[mental rose]

Right.
Well Luna is in the news right now, because they completely removed 3rd-party games from their cloud gaming service, (since April 10th) with no option for refund.
Those who put money into it can apparently still play the games they bought, but now they have to do it like the rest of us, which is through own hardware.

People are really pissed about this move.

[lucid jolt]

of course amazon pulls that kind of move....and they expect us to embrace cloud gaming?!!

[dry copper]

What games do you buy on Luna? I have access to it with Amazon prime. I see no option to buy games.

[mental rose]

You cannot now, because they shut it down after April 10th.

[dry copper]

interesting.

I've never purchased anything for it so didn't even notice it.

[mental rose]

screencap from a video.
I don't know if this is still on their frontpage

[dry copper]

Apparently now they're trying to get into bed with Ubisoft and GOG, to try and coax people into linking their accounts to Luna for access to the cloud

Technically people could still buy from those platforms and play on Luna

Though it says "select titles" so it's def not unlimited

I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon tried to come out with their own cloud based Luna console to play games on TV

[mental rose]

Google already tried that, and failed. 😄

Of course the suits don't look at the writing on the wall, soo...

I think with the Conan exiles update, we'll finally get to see if UE5 could've done what CD did without it.

One of the arguments that CD developers made for not using UE5 was its inability to handle the load

Hugely terrible DRM has now been rolled out to all PS4 and PS5 digital games. Every digital game you buy now requires an online check-in every 30 days. If you buy a digital game and don't connect your console to the internet for 30 days, your license will be removed.

[barren sparrow]

If memory serves right, that clause is not applicable in the EU and other places that have similar consumer protection laws.

[supple glen]

that is true and they might have to remake the switch to allow for battery removal soon which would be awesome because if you avoided drift you still have battery issues

[barren sparrow]

Not sure if it applies to Switch, as it seems to be mainly directed at smartphones.

Also, it will not even affect all smartphones. While I haven't looked into details, it seems to be either a long-lasting battery which has to hit a certain mark to be considered as such, or a replaceable battery. The reasoning being that replaceable batteries can make smartphones slightly more difficult to get waterproof ratings, as well as force mobile devices to be a bit thicker in an industry that is trying to make them thinner and thinner.

[supple glen]

aw man

[mental rose]

Not just that, even second-hand games can trigger it.
Because serial numbers didn't match or some other BS.

[supple glen]

oh I haven't heard of that but I have heard of buying used and buddy has a fake cart but that's a long-standing issue since DS

64 even

[barren sparrow]

I mean, technically all batteries can be replaced if you can get your hands on a replacement and rip the old one out without it exploding.

The thing the EU is trying to do is to have easily replaceable batteries or batteries that just have a really long lifespan. The idea is to reduce electronic waste by having longer-lasting devices, but while it addresses the components side of things, it doesn't address software, which could probably still be left unoptimized in a way that will require newer devices to function or will wreck older devices if used on them.

Are there invisible boundaries, or can you visit the areas that you can see?

Because this is like old Far Cry or Crysis level of environment detail.
Stuff that made you go "Ooh!" and "Aah!" as a kid

[inland oasis]

So far everywhere I’ve seen I can go to. I’ve run into one area where it starts a timer saying “you don’t have access to this area” but it’s not like a invisible wall lol

I did test to see how far out off the map I could go and yea eventually there’s an out of bounds but it’s such a big map that it feels natural

[mental rose]

Well damn.

[inland oasis]

It’s genuinely a massive and detailed world.

I wonder how long it’d take to cross the map on foot only. Both in a straight line (as much as possible) or, following roads.

I feel like it’d take an IRL 2-3 hours or more.

But with the various mounts, flight, and fast travelling it never feels overwhelming

It's gonna sound really dumb but if you can medium roll and figure out enemy attack patterns you basically win the game. I did the whole game and DLCs in the most generic way possible (medium armor, a one handed sword, and medium shield) in my first playthrough and it was one of my favorite experiences of all time 😆

[obtuse reef]

Oh, I know you can

I just don't have the skill to do it properly

[austere lance]

I have faith in you, grasshopper. That was my first Souls game, LMAO

Didn't know shit about FromSoft games as a whole, didn't know anything about combat besides rolling memes I'd seen online, and I played through as "generic medium weight knight build". If I could do it you defo can 😂

[austere lance]

DS3 is kinda cheesable because most enemies don't react well to "stay as close to their ass as possible and smack them", lol

[obtuse reef]

I know Vordt really didn't like it

[barren sparrow]

[austere lance]

Vordt is the intro to that play style

[obtuse reef]

I'm waaaay past Vordt tho

his hammer was what got me into the "he he bonk" playstyle

[austere lance]

Staying up their ass works a surprising amount. Just stay close to things (which eliminates half of most boss move sets, because all bosses have a bunch of mid to long range bullshit) and dodge into them when they swing at you (unless it's an AOE move)
Also, it feels weird but sprinting away from bosses when they're getting too far into their bullshit combos works surprisingly well. They don't really expect that tactic 😆 @obtuse reef

Malarky, M. 2026

[dry copper]

I've always thought that NMS as a game, by design is an experiment

A social experiment that allows for the first time for a developer to change their product dynamically to serve a consumer base, structured entirely in how they interact with it.

So much information is collected from users voluntarily, it's the perfect constant feedback on what people like and don't like.

and it's insane the lengths this development team has gone to make it work

[supple glen]

ive always viewed it as a realistic minecraft with actual graphics instead of blocks and chunks

same concept procgen endless worlds same updates coming every so often

minecraft getting bought by xbox made modding more accessible though
