"this will lead to financial ruin for you, avoid it"
Benchmark them, generally tell them how the flow of the game goes, etc
i guess the "need" part was more what threw me off π
I've developed a strong hatred for free-to-play MMOs therefore
Well, one thing is that they're not fluent in most languages
ah
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

Can dig that, less game and more annoyingly elaborate get rich quick schemes
^
I'm amazed that people don't even hesitate to flock to them, though- the template's obnoxiously obvious at times
The only one on there that isnβt a βpay once and playβ game is CatBird
Itβs a βpay $2 to remove adsβ 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
yeah it's an interesting lil minigame
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
yeah my cpu and ram are my current bottlenecks
even though i'm OC'ing quite a bit
i'm running an i5-2500k π
i5 7300HQ checking in
mr fancy recent cpu >_>
rather bad though
solid for mid-tier but it doesn't make for amazing performance tbh
actually surprised looking at the base speed, huh
mhmm
Running AMD 6300 six-core
a challenger approaches!
Yes, AMD makes cpu's too
debatable /s π
mhmm!
Only expensive thing was the GPU, at $180 for a GTX 750 Ti
gpu market makin me mad right now 
got around +200hz last time I 'clocked
bitcoin market
my OC isn't even pushed, this is just the safe top end i saw recommended around
Someone should outlaw bitcoin
Watch the gpu prices fall flat
tfw prebuilts are actually a more cost efficient option sometimes now
^
dude
what has the world come to
2016?
Yes
Relatively well optimized tbh
At 1280x720 max settings
720p?
yes
Try pushing 900p
I don't even know how to overclock this thing
i agree skip
seeing it on the switch is incredible
def one of the most well optimized shooters of this decade
The manual is still in the tower, right next to the motherboard
don't even think about overclocking without aftermarket cooling
yeah, just a more proper one
^
hold on, lemme pic it
alright
also, if you hate messy wires, you're going to have a stroke
i think i have this http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/cpu-air-cooler/hyper-212-evo/
coolermaster
I have that :3
it's worked like a dream so far
A bitch to install
yeah, that was a nightmare
Lol
impossible to tighten all four at once lopsided heLL
Those damn springy screws
thanks for reminding me
XD

That red light is my singular fan that is currently thumping against the tower right now
i'm talking about a cpu cooler, not case fans
yep
You mean that tiny little thing that can with the cpu, that just glues on?
yeah, you really can't overclock with the stock ones they give you
watch me
rip your cpu
set my house on fire
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
Snapmap actually ran at 60fps for me
Mostly because it booted up an entirely new program on pc
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

YOOO
YOOOOOOOOOOOO
Whereβs my EDF5 or EDF Iron Rain? π
Lmao
YOOO LOOK AT THE HORDE MODE
BUTT
no buts
THE
AXE IS BACK
AND WARMIND
Isnβt the entire game horde mode?
AND SWORD AXE THING
AND SO IS SUROS REGIME
this is how you get disappointed again
well i'm not talking to you then π
I wasn't disappointed by vanilla D1 nor vanilla D2 so π
egg
fuc
Bigger than Mercury hopefully though
ye
i just want a legit endgame activity, and i hope that's what escalation protocol is
you'll get a super nerfed suros and you'll like it
i still feel way more powerful in d1 though
Yeah because D1 is brokenly fast
you mean not molasses slow


to each their own π
True enough π
Wow, look at that @light cairn , we just had a civil, yet opinionated discussion about a video game. Who knew that was even possible,
i like talking about games even if people have different opinions, good to get multiple viewpoints
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
FUCKTHAT
no toucha the uncle 
I WANT TO TOUCH THE SERPANT 
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
it look pretty
Can I go back in time and change your mind from thinking it was a good idea to preorder something?
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
every scifi game needs hyper-light-bloom-lensflare
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
i thought its core loop was shitty gear grind?
As are all loot grinder games, but D2 just made the loot grind as static as it could be
wasn't that to fight back against how it was dumb & shitty before?
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
stats are boring tho
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
Cool audiovisual effects > +1
It's not for everyone
Good AV will appeal to your audience, but it won't keep them around
Look at Battlefront
Lmao
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
For some grinding is a way to relax while gaming
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
It's a really complicated clicker game
Yes
Those statements don't jive
And that's perfectly ok
Shouldn't it have broad, thorough appeal if it appeals to a common human nature?
It's a popular game
Common human nature meaning desire for accumulation
People like to collect and build up
does not compute
HE'S A ROBOT
I hate that tgey went back with d2
KEV GET THE OIL
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
Mmm oil
It's a niche experience that's become larger with popularity
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
Lmao
ohey, apparently Galaxy on Fire got ported to Switch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPu19R08jT0
I'm not sure if it's Go Fast or 6v6 that's making it more enjoyable
Probably a combination of the two
It's actually fun for the first half an hour
But then...
"Power armor is for pussies"
Is Duke Nukem worth a Doom '16 treatment? π€
Wha?
BulletStorm No Clip Edition gives you the ability to replace the main character with duke Nukem
Oooh, I didn't realize that
But they didn't change anyone else's lines
So they still say you're Gray
It's horrible, but he plays off it
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
You get extra points for shooting someone in the dick, then kicking their head off

have u guys preordered rdr2
Not preordered, but I'll definitely pick it up!
just reskinned
Nah I don't think it'll be a reskinned GTA. That game is like 5 years old.
Yay!! The teaser yesterday looked great
Itdid
It looked so good, and I'm so ready for MORE
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
Dog the funny thing is, this could be The Taken Queen
but not taken
it would just be Hive, and Savathun π
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
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
Lmao
Not with the spam

Apparently not π
Wonder if I could do a Normal Mode Leviathan Raid with all white weapons π€
apparently Leviathan doesn't feel much different if you have all blue gear (vs purple)
maybe the same applies to whites π€
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
What are you saying about my accidental caps?
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
Yeah π
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
I used SRL armour at max light so I was elligible for the raid
my weapons did no damage but my abilities did tons
I joined VOG hard mode at the very last frame and got the mythoclast lmao, everyone hated me
not even lying btw
Me too boi
the very last frame
I did the same thing! Not the very last frame but the last damage phase
rememb er pushing him off?
You read that right. At level 5, my warlock, completed the Vault of Glass. Level 5, yep. Bungie I think your game is too easy now guys. This was only possibl...
Yes Kev, I am being serious about the level 5 completion
I even ran relic at templar
Nope
lmao
this was when that was fixed
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 π
fuyckwhat
this is the real horde mode
THEY KEEP COMING
"I believe in you Guardian!"
speaking of horde modes, how about that Warmind reveal
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
yes
all at LEVEL 5
Some serious problems in the games code π
Like SRL gear not having a level requirement (other than the helm)
and being infusable up to 400 light
soon hopefully π
Man, looking back at my channel like, forgot how many secrets I found in the D2 beta haha
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
We find alternative routes instead.
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
but we loved it all the same lol
ono, guys Frostpunk and Battletech are out now and both look good
π
Healer's Quest looks interesting
you reckon frostbite is gonna get upgraded to 4 this year?

Nier for $30. Who says no?
i say no
Well that was awesome
http://www.stonehearth.net/dt-multiplayer-basics/ Stonehearth gettin' some basic multi soonish. That's pretty cool.
Is it bad that I laughed at this? http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/04/death_road_to_canada_delayed_following_the_recent_attack_in_toronto
nope, I did too
and corrected somebody who thought the game actually took place in canada too lol
lmao what
There's a game called Death Road to Canada that was supposed to be released tomorrow, but after the van attack in Toronto, they are pushing back the release date.
ugh
oh dang, really good playstation humble bundle https://www.humblebundle.com/games/capcom-sega-psn
Hmm how is Monkey Ball on Vita?
i literally didn't know that existed until now but that makes me excited
seems like it has decent reviews
Good enough for a buck. Thanks.
Damn it Skip stop plundering my wallet
Dustforce is apparently a decent 2d platformer.
this is one of the best pwyw tiers in a long time for me
fortunately i think i have all the other games already/on different systems so this is perfect for me π
uh ok, fair warning for everyone, it's just one key for all the PWYW tier games at least
Another day another dollar for Humble
I just gave them a dollar yesterday for guitar and piano books lol
It's restricted, to certain countries, unfortunately
And the UK isn't one of those countries
No apologies, gtfo π
The Warmind gear definitely reminds me a bunch of some old Dust 514 gear designs
Here's to hoping it's solid!
calm down there buddy

destiny 1 ost π©
What games are people looking forward to? For me, it's Lumines Remastered, Mario Tennis Aces, and Octopath Traveler.
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.
Code Vein pls
oh
I'm really interested in Battletech, and yes I know it just came out
you're not allowed to be interested in new releases? 
It's mostly that I can't say I'm looking forward to that which already is
ah gotcha
Yo, Swery65's got a demo out for The Good Life, and it's pretty fun! https://twitter.com/Swery65/status/989267796268695552
I think the last GOW I played was 1
Lol
I've never played a GOW game
I'm interested in getting into Escape from Tarkov
Hmm
I want to play it
But I dont want to waste money like I did on pubg
MY OPINION
I skipped PUBG
Started playing fortnite as soon as the BR mode came out
I played H1Z1 for a long time though
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
My friends play a lot so I've sunk a few hours into Fortnite
I haven't played Fortnite in forever, so basically since it came out
If they release another map I'd be down
I'd love it if they'd randomize the building/setpiece placement
Yeah procedural.
Yea
So you can familiarize yourself with their layout, sure, but navigating to them could be a bit different
That would really make things different every game
Mmhmm.
That'd be cool
I suggested it way back before the game blew up but it doesn't seem like they picked up on it.
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
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
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
(but really play The Good Life demo, it has ice cream)
I found a new game to be excited for

also oddly appropriate, given WT's state right now
lol
I just did DnD for the first time, it was fun
Musta had a good DM/crew
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
That sounds like a good intro for sure. Combat with tabletop can be, ergh at times.
We did "igors challenge"
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.
lol it appears to be fanmade and freely available online
When we played D&D, we completely broke our DM by rolling a natural 20.
On escaping
Which he forgot to plan
BTW do not get tarkov
Itβs good, but so fucking flawed @agile raven
Wait until itβs better
lol chicken & egg with Tarkov, no?
wha?
wait for it to improve but without continual revenue mightn't be able to improve
yea but Iβm just advising that it isnβt worth it rn. Itβs not like @agile raven 35 dollars is gonna make a worlds difference for that game
Nah I gotcha, just thinkin' aloud
has anyone played Project Darwin
That's becoming F2P, right?
I'm sad about that
did you pay
did u like it
Yea I guess
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
Dude coded it by himself.
huh, sounds neat!
Incase anyone was wondering haha
Oh, neat
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?
Yeah, some people are getting through the story in 12 hours
But that's their fault
Hmm
Normal AAA games range from 10-40 hours
Exactly
I was having such heated arguments yesterday π
Too short they said
Oh dear
It's about 25 hours including side quests so π€·
God damn
Ohh, that's even better
Yeah and the fact it's practically witchcraft in terms of it's performance vs the graphics
so many games to play! ^.^
Yup
labo
Yeah 
God of vore is like a fine wine
I'm always looking at the Indie Market, so let me know if you find anything indie and interesting π
Frostpunk is out
Uh, I want to look at that but I haven't
Both Frostpunk and Spy Party
the spiritual successor to SteamSpy
It's so good. I refunded it for now because the connection was never stable but I'll look at picking it up again
Is the Mc server still running?
no
Nope
Emm I don't think so
offline atm
I definitely want to see a playthrough of spy party
Oh
It's so good, it ran pretty smoohtly
That's good news
You know, I think Lilith told me to look at Spy Party a while ago
I didn't
Ye, I think connection was ok for the americans but not for me π¦ haha
Huh
Maybe on some game news site
hmm
Iβm up north as fuck but I had great ping
Aaaaaaalso, gangbeasts? Opinions?
Mixed.
down south is a good song
You're a little late to the party, but it's a good party game
Thanks jev
but its not as good as singing mr blue sky out loud
They are Billions? Hmm
what
RTS game Woop
Good for a basic party game with friends on an afternoon, but the entertainment value's roughly on par with Who's your Daddy
Yeah
shower with dad
That's a good way to put it

Ahh
XD
Oh my god that's a lot of thingies
What?
Pls no
Ohhh hang on
the, uh, billions game
I've been waiting for this one for a while
There are a LOT
Necrobarista
Oh?
Hmm

I've been waiting for it for a while now because it's got something really interesting to offer
Anyway... gatta go now
Same goes for Afterparty. Looks like horror and comedy are coming together
Necrobarista is an... interesting name

fixed your name
Oh man, it does look great
mhmm!
valalala
XD
Have you played it, Whale?
Damn, you gotta get on that!

I've not been looking forward to many games
Mostly because I don't know all that many π
I want to look at Minit
Oh! And PikuNiku
PikuNiku?
I like the name
valalala
It's an upcoming game with cutesy graphics about a Dystopian world
mhmm!
Juicy
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
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 theyβll 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??
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"
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
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
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
I'm not sure I follow what you mean with that, "have seen maturity"? As in it seems to handle it okayish?
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
It's less a personal issue but that Quantic Dream as a business seems pretty miserable
fair enough. i still shop at walmart frequently so i guess i just support crappy businesses.
We all do to some extent, unfortunately
But for inessential goods like entertainment we can at least be a bit more selective
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.
The child abuse scenes are pretty intense in themselves and have caused hell in controversy
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
There are people concerned about the scenes and are calling for the games banning like damn
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.
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
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
At best it could be a masterpiece like Heavy Rain
I haven't played the demo but I can basically guarantee the controls will be awkward
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
@cinder vessel based on the demo that's available to everyone now the art absolutely stunning lmao
Graphical fidelity != art, at least not in the sense I had meant.
The controls are hella awkward confirmed lol @bleak otter
Heavy Rain is a great game
@cinder vessel my bad lol
What I meant by art was the whole bag, writing/art direction/musical score/etc.
It's all good
Heavy Rain hasn't aged super well, but I'd still say it's a decent game
Valorie Curry seems to nail her acting, as well as the actors for Marcus and Connor
Indigo Prophecy is basically the same way. Decent for a good chunk of it but then gets super dumb.
She's like a younger Jennifer Lawrence lol
And let's just be real here, Cage has no fuckin' clue how to handle people of other races.
This is why i only play Japanese games π€ /s
no Ellen Page?
Yeah Cage is like awkward and stereotypically racist
@light cairn you should give some of them games a chance lol
huh? i was just making a joke π
Shower scene who??
Doki Doki Literature Club or bust! π
David Cage: I swear I don't know how that shower scene got in there!!
I've said it before & stand by it, that they should toss Cage & join Quantic Dream with a studio with competent writers
Yeah. I've heard QD's mo cap facilities are incredible... and their engine and graphics capabilities are great
@cinder vessel to be fair the only reason Detroit became a thing was because of Cages writing in the teh demo
Telltale, despite its own issues? Sure!
but some outside writing could definitely help
That shit moved me to tears
that bad huh? /s
Telltale is shit walking on a stick.
I mean not all the time lol
Cage should only ever be allowed to write brief moments
Telltale was good a few years ago, but it's been downhill since
Telltale tried to get way too big for their own good
Never a full story, because he obviously doesn't know how, lol
they got greedy
Telltale can still write circles around Cage, lol
I loved Life Is Strange but overall your choices didn't mean jackshit
Their gameplay is just waay tired by now
that's Squeenix but sure
And Dontnod Entertainment to be specific
yeah
@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
LiS was fine. A little too pretentious and hipstery for me, but it was a decent game. Overrated though imo.
Also omg Dontnod pls don't write children, lol
Dude the voice actor for Max was so... ugh
Why'd they contract her and not someone that wasn't monotone
what studio made Until Dawn? are they working on a new game?
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?
@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
that was a pretty good game. that's kinda telltale/quantic dream style, with the potential for better stories.
Until Dawn is definitely one of the better narrative games we've had in awhile
Hopefully the sequel they'll prolly release at the end of the year learns it's lesson from the first one
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
Was still talking bout LiS lol
have you played Late Shift? it's literally a movie where you make a few choices along the way.
Aah, gotcha
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
Didn't they add a run to that Skip? Or at least better indicate it for folks
did they?
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
i played it. you don't need to run out and play it, but it's different anyways.
How bout news from the VR world, any of ya heard recently what was leaked??
Yup, hold R2 Skip
good cinematography and acting. like an actual movie. but the game part is really sparse.
Umm, not sure what VR stuff mighta slipped out
i need to see if this is right...
Apple is making a VR headset with 8k for both lenses so 16k resolution in total
that sounds expensive
Ooh, isn't that still rumor mill atm?
wow great you'll be able to play 3x3 res games in it
I remember seeing some snippets about some like AR patents or somesuch
they still charge $400 for an ipod and $150 for wireless earbuds so...
As well as VR patents for when someone's traveling
It won't need a pc or console to run
This sht will be powerful if it comes to fruition lol
At what point does Apple just start selling you a house full of their junk?
yeah it would need like twin 1180s to run anything at that resolution
it already exists and it's called the apple store 
ayyyyy
Yeah but you can't live there, lol
i mean
I mean apple is working on a phone with airtouch tech so anything is up in the air now
have you tried?
Fair, I've not, because they're too minimalistic
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
airpods are dumb
I think someone said the phone would be the 12th or 13th generation which is pretty close for airtouch tech like sht
I think that was just a dumb joke
what even is "airtouch" ?
But a stupidly good one because fuck ya if they wouldn't try to pull that shit
Someone from the company I mean
that's kinda what i thought, but it wouldn't really surprise me
Air swiping, texting
well things like that already exist, they're just headmounted
leapmotion is pretty dang good
The screen for the new phone is also purported to be curved and extra durable galss I believe
*glass
stuff like this is insane https://twitter.com/keiichiban/status/971809788450324480
occlusion and everything
VR Contagion seems fun lol
but can the cube run doom?
@bleak otter can it run Crysis??
at like 2 fps
Lol
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
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?
I had a Spiderman game on the Game Gear. It was okay.
Spider-Man PS1 was wild
i had a GBA game and a pc game i think?
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 it's really fun or because they somehow really broke it? lol
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
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"
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
A shame about the later games tho
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 π
I'm not sure what the original teams for the first couple are even up to now
well, Keiji Inafune is....doing something, maybe? iunno what happened after MN9 exactly
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?
oh that is still happening apparently, huh
After it got swooped up by some random investment group...?
i thought that totally fell through but i guess not
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
i can't wait for them to insult their target demographic again
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
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
Yeeaahhh....
i got it free with ps+ but haven't touched it yet
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?
it's like they went 3D to try and make things easier, but didn't actually develop a style
Yeah, it honestly reminds me somewhat of Mega Man X7
yeah, the concept art was good
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
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
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
Japanese studios in particular are super whack structure wise
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
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
I hope Monster Hunter World & Resident Evil 7 tell Capcom to be weirder with their stuff
Hey guys
