test?

cinder vessel
#

"this will lead to financial ruin for you, avoid it"

lavish obsidian
#

Benchmark them, generally tell them how the flow of the game goes, etc

light cairn
#

i guess the "need" part was more what threw me off πŸ˜›

lavish obsidian
#

I've developed a strong hatred for free-to-play MMOs therefore

#

Well, one thing is that they're not fluent in most languages

light cairn
#

ah

lavish obsidian
#

I hate the design and thought process that goes behind those MMORPGs that companies develop by the hundreds every month- it's like casino gambling, digitalized into a gaming package

cinder vessel
#

Can dig that, less game and more annoyingly elaborate get rich quick schemes

lavish obsidian
#

^

#

I'm amazed that people don't even hesitate to flock to them, though- the template's obnoxiously obvious at times

winter yew
#

The only one on there that isn’t a β€˜pay once and play’ game is CatBird

#

It’s a β€˜pay $2 to remove ads’ kinda thing

#

The GRWHQ app is just a companion app for Ghost Recon Wildlands, to use as an in-game map or send rebels on missions to use for in-game resources

light cairn
#

yeah it's an interesting lil minigame

winter yew
#

Pretty cool little thing lol

#

I got Wildlands free when I got my 1070 awhile back

#

Game ran like crap on my i5-4690k

#

Then I upgraded to an i7 which smoothed things out considerably

#

Need to get a whole new mobo and probably RAM if I wanna go current

#

But I think my i7-4790k will be fine for a little longer

light cairn
#

yeah my cpu and ram are my current bottlenecks

#

even though i'm OC'ing quite a bit

#

i'm running an i5-2500k πŸ˜›

lavish obsidian
#

i5 7300HQ checking in

light cairn
#

mr fancy recent cpu >_>

lavish obsidian
#

rather bad though

#

solid for mid-tier but it doesn't make for amazing performance tbh

light cairn
#

actually surprised looking at the base speed, huh

lavish obsidian
#

mhmm

light cairn
#

mine base is 3.3ghz but i'm oc'd to 4.5ghz

#

this one is a beast for overclocking

royal mirage
#

Running AMD 6300 six-core

lavish obsidian
#

a challenger approaches!

royal mirage
#

Yes, AMD makes cpu's too

light cairn
#

debatable /s πŸ˜›

royal mirage
#

And it was under $100

#

Budget gaming right here

light cairn
#

dang, nice

lavish obsidian
#

mhmm!

royal mirage
#

Only expensive thing was the GPU, at $180 for a GTX 750 Ti

light cairn
#

gpu market makin me mad right now aeyes

lavish obsidian
#

got around +200hz last time I 'clocked

royal mirage
#

bitcoin market

lavish obsidian
#

yes

#

kill miners

light cairn
#

my OC isn't even pushed, this is just the safe top end i saw recommended around

royal mirage
#

Someone should outlaw bitcoin
Watch the gpu prices fall flat

light cairn
#

tfw prebuilts are actually a more cost efficient option sometimes now

lavish obsidian
#

^

royal mirage
#

dude

lavish obsidian
#

what has the world come to

royal mirage
#

I spent $450 on this pc

#

And it can run DOOM

lavish obsidian
#

2016?

royal mirage
#

Yes

lavish obsidian
#

Relatively well optimized tbh

royal mirage
#

At 1280x720 max settings

lavish obsidian
#

720p?

royal mirage
#

yes

lavish obsidian
#

Try pushing 900p

light cairn
#

doom is optimized so well

#

it's amazing

royal mirage
#

I don't even know how to overclock this thing

lavish obsidian
#

i agree skip

light cairn
#

seeing it on the switch is incredible

lavish obsidian
#

def one of the most well optimized shooters of this decade

royal mirage
#

The manual is still in the tower, right next to the motherboard

light cairn
#

don't even think about overclocking without aftermarket cooling

royal mirage
#

Oh, cooling?

#

You mean, like, a singular fan?

light cairn
#

yeah, just a more proper one

lavish obsidian
#

^

royal mirage
#

hold on, lemme pic it

lavish obsidian
#

alright

royal mirage
#

also, if you hate messy wires, you're going to have a stroke

light cairn
winter yew
#

I have that :3

light cairn
#

it's worked like a dream so far

winter yew
#

A bitch to install

light cairn
#

yeah, that was a nightmare

winter yew
#

Lol

light cairn
#

impossible to tighten all four at once lopsided heLL

winter yew
#

Those damn springy screws

light cairn
#

thanks for reminding me

winter yew
#

XD

royal mirage
light cairn
royal mirage
#

That red light is my singular fan that is currently thumping against the tower right now

light cairn
#

i'm talking about a cpu cooler, not case fans

royal mirage
#

...

#

A heat sink?

light cairn
#

yep

royal mirage
#

You mean that tiny little thing that can with the cpu, that just glues on?

light cairn
#

yeah, you really can't overclock with the stock ones they give you

royal mirage
#

watch me

light cairn
#

rip your cpu

royal mirage
#

set my house on fire

cinder vessel
#

what killed me is that despite how solidly Doom '16 runs, I still managed to hit a crash on PS4 with it

#

SnapMap was a whole 'nother beast in that area tho

royal mirage
#

Snapmap actually ran at 60fps for me

#

Mostly because it booted up an entirely new program on pc

winter yew
#

eh my warframe bois

#

I about choked on that MR test :((

cinder vessel
#

I was thinkin' more in terms of general instability Tech. If you ever spent much time trying to create maps with it...Oof, there were some issues. Thankfully the devs behind it were dedicated and tried to do the best they could

Isn’t the entire game horde mode?

iron inlet

AND SWORD AXE THING

brisk merlin

AND SO IS SUROS REGIME

light cairn

this is how you get disappointed again

iron inlet
#

I'll never be disappointed by Destiny

#

I can only be excited

light cairn
#

well i'm not talking to you then πŸ˜›

iron inlet

I wasn't disappointed by vanilla D1 nor vanilla D2 so πŸ˜›

warm holly

Bigger than Mercury hopefully though

brisk merlin

light cairn

i just want a legit endgame activity, and i hope that's what escalation protocol is

warm holly
#

Horde mode, hopefully

#

I want white suros, not black suros

light cairn
#

you'll get a super nerfed suros and you'll like it

warm holly
#

No

#

I want OP suros again

#

I want OP Vex, I want OP thorn

#

I want all OP weapons

light cairn
#

we need a time machine

#

wait d1 still exists thonk

iron inlet
#

Yeah but nothing is OP in D1 anymore

#

except one-shot nades

light cairn
#

i still feel way more powerful in d1 though

iron inlet
#

Yeah because D1 is brokenly fast

light cairn
#

you mean not molasses slow

iron inlet
#

D2 is perfectly good speed

#

D1 was way too fast looking back

to each their own πŸ˜›

iron inlet

True enough πŸ˜›

#

Wow, look at that @light cairn , we just had a civil, yet opinionated discussion about a video game. Who knew that was even possible,

light cairn
#

i like talking about games even if people have different opinions, good to get multiple viewpoints

iron inlet
#

Exactly! But usually it devolves into "No ur wrong fuk off"

#

"My uncle works at Bungie he'll ban you for bashing the game." LUL

brisk merlin
#

FUCKTHAT

light cairn
#

no toucha the uncle aeyes

brisk merlin

#

Destiny 2 is the hottest Garbo and waste of good FPS vibes I've ever played, and will the be last game I ever pre-order

#

CHANGE MY MIND

cinder vessel
#

it look pretty

rigid haven
#

Can I go back in time and change your mind from thinking it was a good idea to preorder something?

stone trout
#

It got more light bloom than Warframe, and that's saying something

#

Nah tbh I think it's a perfectly OK game, but it's just so much wasted potential, and lacks the game depth that I was hoping for

cinder vessel
#

every scifi game needs hyper-light-bloom-lensflare

stone trout
#

Now it's doomed to be another 'lifestyle' game that has to get better over 2 years by introducing the core gameplay loops it should have shipped with

cinder vessel
#

i thought its core loop was shitty gear grind?

stone trout
#

As are all loot grinder games, but D2 just made the loot grind as static as it could be

cinder vessel
#

wasn't that to fight back against how it was dumb & shitty before?

stone trout
#

Not really. From what I know D1's problems weren't with loot but with several other factors. They slowly improved on it over time, and then too 99 steps backward with D2

#

Dynamic stat rolls are needed in a PvE game

cinder vessel
#

stats are boring tho

stone trout
#

They could have easily preserved static rolls for PvP and had dynamic rolls for PvE

#

Stats are why people play loot grinders

#

To watch the numbers go up

cinder vessel
#

Cool audiovisual effects > +1

stone trout
#

It's not for everyone

#

Good AV will appeal to your audience, but it won't keep them around

#

Look at Battlefront

brisk merlin
#

Lmao

cinder vessel
#

I do try to get in that mindset that enjoys that stuff but no matter how much I try I just can't. It's like people are enjoying a fidget cube where every switch flip/button press/whatever increases a number and they get the most outta that +1 and I'm like, wtf

stone trout
#

For some grinding is a way to relax while gaming

cinder vessel
#

I guess it's kinda like they're pressing a button for a +1 that adds a tiny bit more rumble/vibration or something that they love to no end and it baffles the hell outta me

stone trout
#

It's a really complicated clicker game

brisk merlin
#

Yes

stone trout
#

And it appeals to human nature

#

But like I said, it's not for everyone

cinder vessel
#

Those statements don't jive

stone trout
#

And that's perfectly ok

cinder vessel
#

Shouldn't it have broad, thorough appeal if it appeals to a common human nature?

brisk merlin
#

It's a popular game

stone trout
#

Common human nature meaning desire for accumulation

#

People like to collect and build up

cinder vessel
#

does not compute

stone trout
#

HE'S A ROBOT

brisk merlin
#

I hate that tgey went back with d2

stone trout
#

KEV GET THE OIL

cinder vessel
#

It's so weird to me though because it's accumulating for such a specific thing. It's like building on a nanometre of land

brisk merlin
#

Mmm oil

stone trout
#

It's a niche experience that's become larger with popularity

cinder vessel
#

For me, games like that have always pissed me off, because I generally prioritize the experience of moments vs. of the mundane

#

I'm the guy that always has a Max Repel in Pokemon, lol

brisk merlin
#

Lmao

cinder vessel
winter yew
#

neat

#

which Galaxy on Fire is that :>

#

ohh i see

#

Manticore

primal inlet
#

as meh an experience D2 is, I'm having fun with IB

#

when it loads, at least

rare coral
#

IB was definitely fun

#

I enjoyed most matches I did

primal inlet
#

I'm not sure if it's Go Fast or 6v6 that's making it more enjoyable

#

Probably a combination of the two

royal mirage
#

Well, that's $20 wasted

#

I bought Duke Nukem Forever

lavish obsidian
royal mirage
#

It's actually fun for the first half an hour

#

But then...

#

"Power armor is for pussies"

cinder vessel
#

Is Duke Nukem worth a Doom '16 treatment? πŸ€”

royal mirage
#

Technically, he already has

#

In BulletStorm

cinder vessel
#

Wha?

royal mirage
#

BulletStorm No Clip Edition gives you the ability to replace the main character with duke Nukem

cinder vessel
#

Oooh, I didn't realize that

royal mirage
#

But they didn't change anyone else's lines

#

So they still say you're Gray

#

It's horrible, but he plays off it

cinder vessel
#

lol

#

BulletStorm seems like a game I should pick up at some point

#

Lots of good, goofy arcady action to it, as I understand it

royal mirage
#

You get extra points for shooting someone in the dick, then kicking their head off

have u guys preordered rdr2

uncut bramble

Not preordered, but I'll definitely pick it up!

bright lake
#

i almosr did

#

but i looked at it again and it seems so similar to gta v

uncut bramble
#

But in the Wild West

#

Haha

bright lake
#

just reskinned

uncut bramble
#

Nah I don't think it'll be a reskinned GTA. That game is like 5 years old.

iron inlet

I'm so hyped

#

Destiny 2 Warmind reveal stream in 1 hour and 46 minutes 😩

uncut bramble

Yay!! The teaser yesterday looked great

brisk merlin

Itdid

iron inlet
#

It looked so good, and I'm so ready for MORE

bleak otter
#

I have not pre-ordered r2d2

#

But that would be a sweet game

primal inlet
#

wait until The Taken King 2: The Taken Queen comes out

#

it's ok now but hopefully it'll be much better in half a year

brisk merlin
#

Lma

#

I hate taken

iron inlet
#

Dog the funny thing is, this could be The Taken Queen

#

but not taken

#

it would just be Hive, and Savathun πŸ˜„

primal inlet
#

We'll see, I really hope it is

#

The only thing that makes me think it won't be is that it's a DLC, not a Comet

iron inlet
#

Well it's definitely Hive, and we've had lots of hints to Savathun

#

so we can definitely hope

#

or they'll pull a D1 and Double Hive us

brisk merlin
#

Lmao

iron inlet
#

Comet could be hive too who knows

man I hate it when warlocks chase me and tickle my insides

with pain

iron inlet

@primal inlet I know what you mean, I prefer to dawnblade over tickle fingers in PvP now though

#

Wings of Sacred Dawn are secretly meta as heck

brisk merlin

I'll tickle your insides 😏

primal inlet

oh shit, I forgot Devour's a thing too

brisk merlin

primal inlet

Warlocks are just generally fun nowa-kev i knew you'd

iron inlet
#

Because of the meditations this week

#

is the one where you get your first sniper, if you don't have a sniper in your inv

brisk merlin
#

i did the meditations

iron inlet
#

it gives you a white sniper

#

I just got a 250 Power level white sniper rifle lul

brisk merlin
#

yee

primal inlet
#

I thought greens were capped around 200

#

but whites aren't? lul

iron inlet
#

Apparently not πŸ˜›

#

Wonder if I could do a Normal Mode Leviathan Raid with all white weapons πŸ€”

primal inlet
#

apparently Leviathan doesn't feel much different if you have all blue gear (vs purple)

#

maybe the same applies to whites πŸ€”

iron inlet
#

Right I have issues with tHAT POST

#

woops accidental caps

#

that post is bullsh*t for 2 reasons

#

Difficulty of the raid is based on Power Level, not rarity of gear

rigid haven
#

What are you saying about my accidental caps?

iron inlet
#

so when you can get blue gear at max power level, then OF COURSE IT'S THE DAMN SAME

#

I got so mad at that guys post like god damn

primal inlet
#

...oh

#

duh

iron inlet
#

Yeah πŸ™ƒ

#

Like the same applied in D1

#

I did Vault of Glass at level 5, I can send you a damn video if you want lol

brisk merlin
#

lmao

#

really

iron inlet
#

I used SRL armour at max light so I was elligible for the raid

#

my weapons did no damage but my abilities did tons

brisk merlin
#

I joined VOG hard mode at the very last frame and got the mythoclast lmao, everyone hated me

#

not even lying btw

iron inlet
#

Me too boi

brisk merlin
#

the very last frame

iron inlet
#

I did the same thing! Not the very last frame but the last damage phase

brisk merlin
#

rememb er pushing him off?

iron inlet
#

Yes Kev, I am being serious about the level 5 completion

#

I even ran relic at templar

brisk merlin
#

lmao

#

did you push templar?

iron inlet
#

Nope

brisk merlin
#

lmao

iron inlet
#

this was when that was fixed

brisk merlin
#

nice

#

i would watch but working on game assets :p

iron inlet
#

So yeah, people aren't allowed to complain about D2 because you can complete Leviathan with max level blue gear

#

when I could complete Vault of Glass with max level common gear πŸ˜›

primal inlet
#

hold on

#

fuckingb whayt

iron inlet
#

RIP Dog

#

good luck

brisk merlin

fuyckwhat

primal inlet

this is the real horde mode

#

THEY KEEP COMING

#

"I believe in you Guardian!"

#

speaking of horde modes, how about that Warmind reveal

iron inlet
#

Oh hey I forgot about the fact that in the level 5 run it was also somebody's first time running VOG lol

#

22 MINUTES DOGG

brisk merlin
#

iron inlet
#

and we completed templar challenge mode

#

so much lul

#

and killed a Gorgon

brisk merlin

lmao

#

nice

iron inlet
#

all at LEVEL 5

brisk merlin
#

really

#

how

#

is

#

that

#

possible

iron inlet
#

Some serious problems in the games code πŸ˜›

#

Like SRL gear not having a level requirement (other than the helm)

#

and being infusable up to 400 light

brisk merlin
#

ahh srl

#

I miss it

iron inlet
#

soon hopefully πŸ˜›

#

Man, looking back at my channel like, forgot how many secrets I found in the D2 beta haha

brisk merlin

we escaped the map

iron inlet

Same boi

#

I went to like, every area we could haha

#

Oh man the time I solo-d templar , that only took 17 minutes haha

#

Ohhh this was a really goldie

#

The Kings Fall Ship jumping puzzle, made to be absolutely redundant

thanks to Twilight Garrison and swords

There are some things that were so wrong with D1, like how that was possible

What games are people looking forward to? For me, it's Lumines Remastered, Mario Tennis Aces, and Octopath Traveler.

primal inlet

Knuckle Sandwich, Captain Toad (3DS), and Destiny 2

#

There are probably more but I usually just let the Steam New Releases tab surprise me when one comes out

Fair enough. Healer's Quest was a random Steam surprise the other day. Looks interesting but I have so much other stuff I could play already.

I might release Assteroids 2 this year

God of War is a treat

#

Haven't played it since God of War 3

winter yew
#

I think the last GOW I played was 1

agile raven
#

Lol

rigid haven
#

I've never played a GOW game

agile raven
#

I'm interested in getting into Escape from Tarkov

brisk merlin
#

Hmm

#

I want to play it

#

But I dont want to waste money like I did on pubg

#

MY OPINION

agile raven
#

I skipped PUBG

#

Started playing fortnite as soon as the BR mode came out

#

I played H1Z1 for a long time though

cinder vessel
#

These battle royales going free has been great for determining if they're my thing or not

#

They're...Eh, not my go to but enjoyable enough from time to time

brisk merlin
#

I play them every now and then

#

I mean just fortnite

agile raven
#

My friends play a lot so I've sunk a few hours into Fortnite

cinder vessel
#

I haven't played Fortnite in forever, so basically since it came out

agile raven
#

If they release another map I'd be down

cinder vessel
#

I'd love it if they'd randomize the building/setpiece placement

agile raven
#

Yeah procedural.

brisk merlin
#

Yea

cinder vessel
#

So you can familiarize yourself with their layout, sure, but navigating to them could be a bit different

agile raven
#

That would really make things different every game

cinder vessel
#

Mmhmm.

brisk merlin
#

That'd be cool

cinder vessel
#

I suggested it way back before the game blew up but it doesn't seem like they picked up on it.

brisk merlin
#

Or at least have the town's procedural, like have them in the same places but the buildings in the town are procedural

#

Uhh

#

That makes little sense

cinder vessel
#

Mm? Nah, that makes a decent bit of sense

#

If you're talkin' keep the towns in the same position but flipflop the structures in'em

I found a new game to be excited for

#

also oddly appropriate, given WT's state right now

cinder vessel

lol

neat yew
#

I just did DnD for the first time, it was fun

cinder vessel
#

Musta had a good DM/crew

neat yew
#

Haha yeah all us players were first timers, but the DM was apparently very good

#

The scenario had zero combat so it was just pure decision making/puzzle solving

#

I should have tried this years ago though, really enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to our next session

cinder vessel
#

That sounds like a good intro for sure. Combat with tabletop can be, ergh at times.

neat yew
#

We did "igors challenge"

cinder vessel
#

Can't say I'm all that familiar. Group I dabbled with just kinda dove in the deep end it felt like and it...I dunno, didn't really jive to me.

#

Liked the people, just uh...Yeah, didn't feel like we had the best idea of what we were trying to do with any of it.

cinder vessel
#

wait for it to improve but without continual revenue mightn't be able to improve

jade lake
#

yea but I’m just advising that it isn’t worth it rn. It’s not like @agile raven 35 dollars is gonna make a worlds difference for that game

Nah I gotcha, just thinkin' aloud

David Brevik's new game It Lurks Below dropped on Early Access yesterday. I was a closed beta tester and it's pretty fun for those that like diablo style loot, corpse runs, and harsh food/exaustion survival mechanics

Β£46 is a really weird price

That is weird! Haha. I'm frickin loving the game

It's getting a bit of hate for being too short. Like what do people want

Too short?

Too short?

Hmm

That's a fine amount of time

uncut bramble
#

And for a game of this quality

#

Yeah!

Normal AAA games range from 10-40 hours

I was having such heated arguments yesterday πŸ˜‚

Oh dear

It's about 25 hours including side quests so 🀷

That's fine

It's a good length for a game like that

#

Ohh, that's even better

Yeah, there's not really much to talk about other than speculation

#

I'm hoping that gameplay is shown, since that would be pretty neat

strong hazel
#

Well since its based on a tabletop and mike (the creator) said that CDPR are making it very accurate to the source material where they can, you can talk about certain mechanics and elements in Cyberpunk 2020 and wether theyβ€˜ll be in the game

Like implants and the classes and all that, which both were confirmed to be in the game in some form

Anyone looking at Detroit: Become Human recently lol??

cinder vessel
#

Nah, I liked some of Quantic Dream's past work in a quirky B-movie sense, but after learning the company is garbage I'm just like, "Nah, not worth it"

winter yew
#

I mean I agree that they're questionable as shit

#

But it's seems like Detroit: Become Human is along the lines of Heavy Rain

bleak otter
#

hot take: I buy games/listen to music/enjoy shows for the content of said game/music/show and don't really care what the people who made it do in their personal lives

winter yew
#

And honestly based off what I've played so far I think most people have seen maturity, if only slightly

#

Yea somewhat of what Devin said lol

cinder vessel
#

I'm not sure I follow what you mean with that, "have seen maturity"? As in it seems to handle it okayish?

bleak otter
#

like David Cage is probably a douche and I know they were circulating offensive pictures and stuff at work, but if it's a good game, I'll still enjoy it

cinder vessel
#

It's less a personal issue but that Quantic Dream as a business seems pretty miserable

bleak otter
#

fair enough. i still shop at walmart frequently so i guess i just support crappy businesses.

cinder vessel
#

We all do to some extent, unfortunately

#

But for inessential goods like entertainment we can at least be a bit more selective

winter yew
#

Such is the way of life lol

#

Selective individually yes lol

bleak otter
#

that's true. well if it's any consolation, i will not be getting Detroit, but that's just because i don't have a ps4.

winter yew
#

The child abuse scenes are pretty intense in themselves and have caused hell in controversy

cinder vessel
#

Like in all honesty I was pretty interested in Detroit before the noise came up about Quantic Dream's internal stuff, but even before that Cage was being wishywashy with saying anything with the narrative, lol

winter yew
#

There are people concerned about the scenes and are calling for the games banning like damn

cinder vessel
#

The stages of my interest in Detroit were:
-Tentatively excited.
-Cage shows like no awareness of other scifi media.
-Cage seems to have nothing to say with the narrative but wants to get emotions?
-Quantic Dream turns out to be a mess & Cage is a bit of a dick.
-Well whatever fuck this.

bleak otter
#

lol i don't understand the people that want to ban stuff. don't like it? don't buy it. don't watch it.

#

bringing more attention and "outrage" to it seems counterproductive to me

cinder vessel
#

Yeah fuck banning it unless it's literally inciting bigotry & harassment or some shit.

#

At worst Detroit's likely just to be really bad art & a clumsy as hell game, lol

#

Which is pretty much par for the course for Quantic Dream

winter yew
#

At best it could be a masterpiece like Heavy Rain

bleak otter
#

I haven't played the demo but I can basically guarantee the controls will be awkward

cinder vessel
#

I wouldn't call Heavy Rain a masterpiece, but it was miles ahead of anything else they've put out, which...Doesn't say much given their other work, lol

winter yew
#

@cinder vessel based on the demo that's available to everyone now the art absolutely stunning lmao

cinder vessel
#

Graphical fidelity != art, at least not in the sense I had meant.

winter yew
#

The controls are hella awkward confirmed lol @bleak otter

bleak otter
#

Heavy Rain is a great game

winter yew
#

@cinder vessel my bad lol

cinder vessel
#

What I meant by art was the whole bag, writing/art direction/musical score/etc.

#

It's all good

bleak otter
#

Indigo Prophecy is a great game for 2/3 of the game

#

Beyond Two Souls is a mess

cinder vessel
#

Heavy Rain hasn't aged super well, but I'd still say it's a decent game

winter yew
#

Valorie Curry seems to nail her acting, as well as the actors for Marcus and Connor

cinder vessel
#

Indigo Prophecy is basically the same way. Decent for a good chunk of it but then gets super dumb.

winter yew
#

She's like a younger Jennifer Lawrence lol

cinder vessel
#

And let's just be real here, Cage has no fuckin' clue how to handle people of other races.

light cairn
#

This is why i only play Japanese games 😀 /s

bleak otter
#

no Ellen Page?

winter yew
#

Oh nooo lol

#

Get ready to play David Cage Bingo

bleak otter
#

Yeah Cage is like awkward and stereotypically racist

winter yew
#

@light cairn you should give some of them games a chance lol

light cairn
#

huh? i was just making a joke πŸ˜›

winter yew
#

Shower scene who??

bleak otter
#

Doki Doki Literature Club or bust! 😠

winter yew
#

David Cage: I swear I don't know how that shower scene got in there!!

cinder vessel
#

I've said it before & stand by it, that they should toss Cage & join Quantic Dream with a studio with competent writers

bleak otter
#

Yeah. I've heard QD's mo cap facilities are incredible... and their engine and graphics capabilities are great

winter yew
#

@cinder vessel to be fair the only reason Detroit became a thing was because of Cages writing in the teh demo

cinder vessel
#

Telltale, despite its own issues? Sure!

bleak otter
#

but some outside writing could definitely help

winter yew
#

That shit moved me to tears

light cairn
#

that bad huh? /s

winter yew
#

Telltale is shit walking on a stick.

I mean not all the time lol

cinder vessel
#

Cage should only ever be allowed to write brief moments

bleak otter
#

Telltale was good a few years ago, but it's been downhill since

light cairn
#

Telltale tried to get way too big for their own good

cinder vessel
#

Never a full story, because he obviously doesn't know how, lol

light cairn
#

they got greedy

cinder vessel
#

Telltale can still write circles around Cage, lol

winter yew
#

I loved Life Is Strange but overall your choices didn't mean jackshit

cinder vessel
#

Their gameplay is just waay tired by now

bleak otter
#

that's Squeenix but sure

cinder vessel
#

And Dontnod Entertainment to be specific

bleak otter
#

yeah

winter yew
#

@cinder vessel and the fact that telltales choices don't really matter in the end either is what kills it for a lot of people

bleak otter
#

LiS was fine. A little too pretentious and hipstery for me, but it was a decent game. Overrated though imo.

cinder vessel
#

Also omg Dontnod pls don't write children, lol

winter yew
#

Dude the voice actor for Max was so... ugh

#

Why'd they contract her and not someone that wasn't monotone

bleak otter
#

what studio made Until Dawn? are they working on a new game?

cinder vessel
#

I think Life is Strange caught people because it was a narrative game by someone other than Telltale, tbh, lol

#

They've made a few games since, I think it was Supermassive?

winter yew
#

@cinder vessel I loved the hell out of that story, it was a journey

#

But that didn't excuse that the whole thing was basically a sham

bleak otter
#

that was a pretty good game. that's kinda telltale/quantic dream style, with the potential for better stories.

cinder vessel
#

Until Dawn is definitely one of the better narrative games we've had in awhile

winter yew
#

Hopefully the sequel they'll prolly release at the end of the year learns it's lesson from the first one

cinder vessel
#

But, uh, Hidden Agenda & The Inpatient, also by them, are a bit hit or miss

#

Wait, which Velox? Kinda lost track of which you're referring to there

winter yew
#

Was still talking bout LiS lol

bleak otter
#

have you played Late Shift? it's literally a movie where you make a few choices along the way.

cinder vessel
#

Aah, gotcha

light cairn
#

you know what game i really wanted to like but couldn't even finish it due to how painfully slow it was? Everybody's Gone to the Rapture

winter yew
#

They're making a sequel

#

Prolly coming at the end of the year or beginning of 2019

cinder vessel
#

Didn't they add a run to that Skip? Or at least better indicate it for folks

light cairn
#

did they?

cinder vessel
#

I remember seeing stuff about Late Shift, but none of the brief looks really drew me in

#

I remember reading an article or somethin' about it, at least, yeah Skip

bleak otter
#

i played it. you don't need to run out and play it, but it's different anyways.

winter yew
#

How bout news from the VR world, any of ya heard recently what was leaked??

cinder vessel
#

Yup, hold R2 Skip

bleak otter
#

good cinematography and acting. like an actual movie. but the game part is really sparse.

cinder vessel
#

Umm, not sure what VR stuff mighta slipped out

light cairn
#

i need to see if this is right...

winter yew
#

Apple is making a VR headset with 8k for both lenses so 16k resolution in total

bleak otter
#

that sounds expensive

cinder vessel
#

Ooh, isn't that still rumor mill atm?

winter yew
#

Slated for 2019 possibly or 2020 for sure

#

It'll be witless

#

*wireless

light cairn
#

wow great you'll be able to play 3x3 res games in it

cinder vessel
#

I remember seeing some snippets about some like AR patents or somesuch

bleak otter
#

they still charge $400 for an ipod and $150 for wireless earbuds so...

winter yew
#

As well as VR patents for when someone's traveling

#

It won't need a pc or console to run

light cairn
#

yeah no i don't believe this in the slightest

#

not anytime soon at least

winter yew
#

This sht will be powerful if it comes to fruition lol

cinder vessel
#

At what point does Apple just start selling you a house full of their junk?

bleak otter
#

yeah it would need like twin 1180s to run anything at that resolution

light cairn
#

it already exists and it's called the apple store thonkerwguns

bleak otter
#

ayyyyy

cinder vessel
#

Yeah but you can't live there, lol

light cairn
#

i mean

winter yew
#

I mean apple is working on a phone with airtouch tech so anything is up in the air now

light cairn
#

have you tried?

cinder vessel
#

Fair, I've not, because they're too minimalistic

bleak otter
#

i heard they were selling an adapter so you can plug in your airpods... which seems like a joke but i can't really tell

light cairn
#

airpods are dumb

winter yew
#

I think someone said the phone would be the 12th or 13th generation which is pretty close for airtouch tech like sht

cinder vessel
#

I think that was just a dumb joke

light cairn
#

what even is "airtouch" ?

cinder vessel
#

But a stupidly good one because fuck ya if they wouldn't try to pull that shit

winter yew
#

Someone from the company I mean

bleak otter
#

that's kinda what i thought, but it wouldn't really surprise me

winter yew
#

Air swiping, texting

light cairn
#

well things like that already exist, they're just headmounted

winter yew
#

Not actually touching the screen

#

Well this be without the head gear

light cairn
#

leapmotion is pretty dang good

#

The screen for the new phone is also purported to be curved and extra durable galss I believe

#

#

VR Contagion seems fun lol

bleak otter
#

but can the cube run doom?

#

@bleak otter can it run Crysis??

bleak otter
#

at like 2 fps

Lol

cinder vessel
#

Hmm, Detroit aside, I do hope the new Spider-Man game comes out alright. Looks sharp, but it's hard to tell how good it might feel to play

light cairn
#

the original reveal didn't interest me too much but the web slinging stuff looks good

#

the combat from an outside perspective didn't look like anything special though the first time. i forget, are they doing like an arkham style combat system?

bleak otter
#

I had a Spiderman game on the Game Gear. It was okay.

cinder vessel
#

Spider-Man PS1 was wild

light cairn
#

i had a GBA game and a pc game i think?

cinder vessel
#

Also not really sure what kinda combat system they're going for

also man, i'm so glad i got dead rising for a buck in that humble bundle

because i love the series (well, 1/2) but i haven't actually beaten 1 the whole way

#

there's just something about it that ticks so many boxes for me

cinder vessel
#

Gooood, when ya get stuff for cheap & are happy it can be tough to tell which way that goes, lol

#

Like, "Phew, didn't waste too much!" vs. "Daaamnnn it's goooood"

light cairn
#

nah, i meant it's such a steal

#

like, it's got japanese weirdness, campiness, but also seriousness, really cool concepts and level designs, but it's also super game-y

#

i don't really know how to describe it but i love it so much

cinder vessel
#

A shame about the later games tho

light cairn
#

yeah. i really liked 2 playing through it with a friend. kind of begrudgingly played through 3, and didn't even bother with 4

#

it's kind of funny, it started screwing up once they handed it over to the american studio πŸ˜›

cinder vessel
#

I'm not sure what the original teams for the first couple are even up to now

light cairn
#

well, Keiji Inafune is....doing something, maybe? iunno what happened after MN9 exactly

cinder vessel
#

Uh...I mean he did get Recore out, so there's that, but yeah I dunno what he's into now.

#

Red Ash is maybe still happening, I think?

light cairn
#

oh that is still happening apparently, huh

cinder vessel
#

After it got swooped up by some random investment group...?

light cairn
#

i thought that totally fell through but i guess not

cinder vessel
#

Maybe not? That whole thing was a weird mess.

#

Uh...Yeah it looks like it's still sort of in the works, but who even knows when it will emerge

light cairn
#

i can't wait for them to insult their target demographic again

cinder vessel
#

That was apparently an incredibly misguided move on the publisher's part

#

But that's just a testament to how disorganized it all was

#

...Despite all that, I still snagged Mighty No. 9 for like $10 at a local store, new...And tbh, the gameplay itself isn't the worst. The art doesn't come close to the concept shots' fidelity, which sucks, but it plays very much like a classic Mega Man title

light cairn
#

yeah, from what i've seen the game doesn't look atrociously bad, but the artstyle is so...not an artstyle? it just kind of exists

cinder vessel
#

Yeeaahhh....

light cairn
#

i got it free with ps+ but haven't touched it yet

cinder vessel
#

I don't know what happened with its artwork, because it's like...It's a start, right? But it needed a polish pass to make it anything resembling what they pitched

#

I mean at least the concept artwork is all nice?

light cairn
#

it's like they went 3D to try and make things easier, but didn't actually develop a style

cinder vessel
#

Yeah, it honestly reminds me somewhat of Mega Man X7

light cairn
#

yeah, the concept art was good

cinder vessel
#

Which, uh...Mega Man X7 was such a stumble into 3D sidescrolling

#

Weird as hell given that Mega Man Legends was a thing.

#

And like...Capcom has other studios internally that have worked with 3D stuff by that point

#

So like wtf

light cairn
#

god, (sorry for changing topic for one sentence) but i love the intros of dead rising 1 and 2. like just the utter hopelessness they instill as tons of "NAME IS DEAD" huge red letters keep popping up on screen

cinder vessel
#

Then again, I have minimal insight on how these big corporations handle their different internal studios but it seems like they all have something in common, which is that they have no idea whatsoever as to how to let them collaborate

light cairn
#

Japanese studios in particular are super whack structure wise

cinder vessel
#

Like, big corps, you can let these studios advise each other or something

#

That's kind of the benefit of being a big stupid corporation you dolts

#

I keep meaning to pick up Dead Rising 1 & 2 at some point

light cairn
#

for being 12 years old at this point, Dead Rising holds up super well still imo

#

the theming in both 1 and 2 is impeccable

cinder vessel
#

I hope Monster Hunter World & Resident Evil 7 tell Capcom to be weirder with their stuff

winter yew
#

Hey guys

cinder vessel
#

Like, whoever made the palicos or whatever they're called? Give that person/that team a fuckin' raise

#

Those are fuckin' gold

#

Also yo Acey

light cairn

palico(e?)s are great ❀
