Everyone should be afraid of where DOOM is going because after DOOM 2 comes DOOM 3

rare coral
#

I never got into DOOM

gaunt hare
#

DOOM is really fun

#

but its kind of the type of game where nobody wants to play it until they are playing it, then they are having fun.

#

Also, I don't mind if they make a DOOM 3 and it sucks

#

As long as DOOM 2 plays as awesome as it looks

#

DOOM 2 looked better than DOOM in every way (judging by the trailers only, obviously, since DOOM 2 isn't out)

#

Envrioments looked more creative, more enemy types, more weapons, better graphics.

new info drop on fallout 76 soon

Ew a furry

#

@winter yew furries are gross

winter yew
#

Calm your attitude, I haven’t done anything to you

vague trench
#

@winter yew no ones getting mad at you

#

just an odd opinion is all

#

Rage 2 does literally nothing special

#

everything it does was done in something else already

#

Doom eternal has a shoulder mounted flame thrower and a grappling hook attached to a shotgun

#

Rage 2 is just following current trends

light cairn
#

i mean, not every game has to do something new as long as it does it well

winter yew
#

Minding my own business and get some r00d ass shit thrown my way nearly 5 hours later

#

@vague trench I was referring to Ki-Adi-Mundi#2137

#

In the midst of downloading Assetto Corsa, how does it fare in terms of racing games?

#

any good?

winter yew
#

Not sure

#

I think I had it and didn’t like it too much

#

You can always refund it if you don’t like it

cinder vessel
#

Doom Eternal is a lesser game than Doom without SnapMap/modding tools

#

Also Bethesda is being an ass about selling used games now (again?)

light cairn
#

*Zenimax

iron inlet
#

so Assetto Corsa is a steaming sack of shit that barely works

#

if you want a good racing game, get Forza

light cairn
#

welp

#

project cars is pretty good i think

#

but yeah, can't go wrong with Forza

iron inlet
#

Just a shame that Forza Motorsport 7 is NINETY-FUCKING-FIVE GIGABYTES

#

a whole 10% of my hard drive is getting dedicated to bloody Forza

limber harness
#

Wut

#

Forza is bigger than my entire Linux install?!

iron inlet
#

Indeed it is

meager panther
#

Lol

#

Isnt that common these days

#

Tomb raider was a whole 40 gb back in 2015

light cairn
#

devs don't want to compress stuff anymore 😫

austere lance
#

Halo 5 is about 100 GB, lol

cinder vessel
#

hey guys how's that photorealism going for you? oh, it's eating your hard drives? lol

chrome raft
#

yea i wanted to download eso for the free trial but its literally 90gb. I cant download it within the time frame of the trial

cinder vessel
teal mason
#

just listened to the FO76 quakecon panel, I feel that it's got potential

#

the PvP bounty thing feels like Division Dark Zone shit on steroids tho, and I dunno how it will turn out when there are Chinese players out and about

austere lance
#

China lost the war of Alaska, didn't you play Fallout 3? 😄

teal mason
#

I can already imagine Chinese players RPing as remnants lol

#

it'd be lore accurate, the way they grief and "play" in general

teal mason
#

you gotta love how the blocks are in context with the fucking movie itself

#

wonder how much time the madman who created this spent

reef storm
#

Welp, I know what I'm watching for the next 8:39

teal mason
#

too bad Cr1tical isn't a true true gamer so he failed multiple times

#

also there was a tournament to beat this level, think there are vods here https://bsaber.com/downloadshreksaber/

reef storm
#

Hmm. I'll check that out after I get off work. Sounds interesting

Has anyone played The Isle? Wondering if it’s worth $22 CDN

Anyone got Rainbow six Seige for ps4?

rigid haven
#

Don't quote me on this but I think there's a free week going on

#

Ah, nevermind

#

Oh, never mind that never mind, there is a free weekend

#

16th-20th

hollow sandal
#

well i can only hope they take the new Doom Eternal approach and do same with Heretic/Hexen franchise, i would love to see that restarted with such attention / quality

austere lance
#

Since Darwin Project is free now I'm gonna try it, has anyone here played it?

light cairn
#

Yep! It's fun

austere lance
#

I normally dislike BR games cuz they're so similar and repetitive, Darwin looks cool though

light cairn
#

It's more skill based and the matches are way faster

#

there's also more customization in the items you can use

austere lance
#

Nice

light cairn
#

The Director is also a cool role, a good one can totally change how a match feels

austere lance
#

Is a random player every match the Director?

light cairn
#

you queue in as the director, so it's always someone who wants to be it

austere lance
#

This game's 800x better than Fortnite

light cairn
cinder vessel
#

@dry copper the dumb part about the Monster Hunter World reviews is that anyone following info about the beta's performance would have known better than to try it if their PC was even slightly in question in terms of specs

light cairn
#

considering how it runs on base ps4 i'm not surprised with performance issues

#

it really is gorgeous though

cinder vessel
#

is it rough on base PS4 too?

light cairn
#

really rough

#

not unplayably bad, but not good

jade lake
#

yo fellas i got the new warioware

light cairn
#

nice!

jade lake
#

this game is seriously overlooked

#

i mean the 3ds is pretty dead but damn this is another golden title from them

light cairn
#

i've actually heard it being talked about quite a bit

#

more than i expected at least

rigid haven
#

Maybe it's because of Nintendo's thing

#

Where Wario took over the twitter account

jade lake
#

the studio thing where you dub OVER the characters in cutscenes is actually really funny

#

as an example

reef storm
#

It's an upcoming game - like a first person Factorio

empty iron
#

:D

shut lynx
#

Do people here play GTA:Online?

lavish obsidian
teal mason
#

Not anymore

shut lynx
#

Well anyway, l dont hope to breach any promotion guidelines or such but if you play on Xbox and would like to play in a peaceful community, working together; There's a crew called PCEO. Im a Representative there. You can take an application and join ✌
We dont need new members who l'd be trying to recruit, this is sincerely an FYI. I know a community like this on average would have better members than, say, GTA Discord.. 😅

reef storm

I still play on occasion, but PC.

reef storm
#

Fired it up today actually. Going to work through the Doomsday Heist stuff

shut lynx
#

I did those all on Hard with a 2 man team. If you want top dollar just get one guy who can tell their ass from their elbow and you'll get it done

reef storm
#

Well, it's my GF who'd be my number 2, so I think we'd be okay (hopefully)

rigid haven
#

Apparently they're adding an Oppressor MK II

#

I need

#

Because I'm one of those richy bitchies, I grabbed the Deluxo and the Oppressor and I'm gonna sell the Deluxo if I have to in order to get the MK II

oppressor mkII might make me redownload it

Destiny 2 👍 or 👎

light cairn
#

👍

winter yew
#

👌

#

The lore is amazing

#

The art style is 👌

#

The gameplay is 👌

#

But destiny 2 was eh

light cairn
#

Forsaken tho

winter yew
#

Yeet

light cairn
#

i'm so pumped

atomic coral
#

But destiny 2 = 💩

light cairn
#

at launch yes, now, no (imo)

austere lance
#

Destiny>Destiny 2 by a friggin mile

light cairn
#

fortunately Forsaken should fix that

atomic coral
#

Every game > destiny 2

austere lance
#

If you want Destiny 2 and all Y1/Y2 DLC's it costs like $120 or something, lol. If you want Forsaken and all Y2 DLC it cost $70. Grade A business planning for a game that lost a shit-ton of its player-base 👌

atomic coral
#

Yep

#

Bungie are good at destiny

light cairn
#

uh, you can get base game plus forsaken plus all the y1 dlc for $60

austere lance
#

Since when, they definitely didn't say that when they announced it 😄

light cairn
#

think it was properly announced two weeks ago?

atomic coral
#

They should’ve stayed with halo tbh

jade lake
#

d2 is a joke

#

but hey opinions amirite

light cairn
#

👀

obtuse dune
#

Anyone have a suggestion of a good PS4 game with a co-op style multiplayer?

#

I'm not a fan of competitive multiplayer cuz I'm bad at games and prefer to work together socially

#

Preferably not too expensive

#

Please @me if you reply so I can see it thanks x

light cairn
#

Diablo 3 is really good

meager blaze
#

@obtuse dune Monster Hunter World seems to be a new popular game right now. Its PS4 and its best played with friends, its all coop

light cairn
#

That too!

obtuse dune
#

I tried that one but couldn't really get into it. Maybe if I had friends that play it I could. Any good communities for it?

meager blaze
#

do you have a group of friends looking for a game? or are you looking for a game and planning to find friends to play with there?

rigid haven
#

There's Lovers but I'm not sure if that's online

#

Uh, Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime

meager blaze
#

haha that game, yeah that is a fun little indie game

rigid haven
#

I played it alone though

meager blaze
#

how does it play alone?

rigid haven
#

It's pretty decent

#

iirc you can order the AI companion around and they do a pretty decent job of things

meager blaze
#

ah cool

placid hamlet
#

tfw you get invited for the Battlefield V Open Beta for the second time

#

Am I lucky or am I just getting chosen because I bought BF1 last year?

obtuse dune
#

Looking for a game and I'll find a group of friends there

#

Don't have many gaming friends, just my boyfriend and then the people I've met from nms

#

But I'm in America for 3 weeks and cloud saves are region locked so I don't want to start a new game rn and am looking for games to replace it

#

I bought a way out, the guys at GameStop said that's good (if I can get my bf to play with me tho)

rigid haven
#

By the same devs as Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons iirc

light cairn
#

that's not coop

#

not intentionally at least

#

oh wait, missed the context, sorry

#

buy yeah A Way Out is fantastic!

obtuse dune
#

Anyone wanna play it with me? My bf won't play it

atomic flame
#

play NMS?

obtuse dune
#

A way out

atomic flame
#

oh okay

obtuse dune
#

Also with the friend pass is that a one time only thing? Or can I invite one friend and then a different friend later?

rigid haven
#

A Friend Pass?

light cairn
#

so how it works is you buy one copy, and then anyone can play with you if they download the "demo" version or whatever

#

it's not a one time thing

rigid haven
#

Ohh, yeah

obtuse dune
#

Oh cool

#

That's awesome

rigid haven
#

It's certainly a good thing for games like A Way Out

#

I wish Smash 4 had something like it so I could actually play with my friends

obtuse dune
#

Yeah for sure. It'd be a bit annoying to buy a game and then you can't play it cuz none of your friends have it or the money to buy it

Made this little boi in warframe. They're called sentinels too in warframe. Coincidence? think not okglove

light cairn

😦

cinder vessel
#

welp i finally bit the bullet and reviewed Godus/Godus Wars on Steam. A very obvious, "No," but with some brief overview of how shit the production history of it all turned out. Can't say I didn't give both a fair shake, either...Still sort of confused as to how I gave Wars even more than a couple hours, but 🤷

rigid haven
#

Isn't that by the Molyneux guy?

cinder vessel
#

Yup. It bad tho.

#

Very bad.

rigid haven
#

So I've heard, heh

glad rain
#

yeah, godus was shit

cinder vessel
#

What pisses me off the most about it is how they tried to just quietly move away from it without saying fuckall to their backers

#

Given, most of them had written it off by that point, but still

teal mason
#

Godus was such a shitshow, trying to shove a buncha microtransactions on top of already shitty gameplay

#

not saying people should shove microtransaction into any gameplay

cinder vessel
#

the part you miss is that microtransactions were the gameplay

#

basically

#

because otherwise the game would just play itself, if you wanted to play you had to pay

#

it was fucked

teal mason
#

ah yes, I only watch one video of it so my memory is fuzzy at best

#

but yeah I wonder what drove him from making fable to making godus

winter yew
#

Money of course

gaunt hare
#

I think Molyneux is a project starter

#

A guy who just throws out ideas

#

He's crap at finishing

#

Even I was surprised at how badly he screwed up Godus

#

He wasn't even working on it for a long time. He's coding a game right now, says he's going "back to his roots"

austere lance
#

He's mad because a different dev is making Fable 4

cinder vessel
#

lol

austere lance
#

Forza Horizon devs stole his game, lol

#

Now we just need a new Black & White

cinder vessel
#

Eh

#

Some other devs have been taking the god game idea in more interesting directions. Crest is one of those. Think I tried a demo ages ago of it, and you set up commandments which in turn influenced follower behavior. Universim is basically like Empire Earth + God game, kinda. Reprisal is a straight up spiritual successor to Populous & is lovely.

austere lance
#

I wonder what kind of art-style Fable 4 will have

limber harness
#

Finally got around to playing Okami

#

It's good :)

winter yew
#

It is!

austere lance
#

Oh shit, I forgot Okami HD was a thing

iron inlet
#

Fable 4 needs to be like Fable 2 not Fable 3 or Fable 1

#

if you disagree, you're wrong

austere lance
#

Fable 1>

gaunt hare
#

Black and White > Fable

#

We Happy Few is about anti depressents, according to the developer.

#

Oh fuck off.

shut lynx
#

How is that game anyway? I wouldve thought it make more noise

#

Looked to me like the next Bioshock

jade lake
#

we happy few is a tryhard bioshock game

#

its cheesy imo and trys sooo goddamn hard to be unique but it just falls flat

gaunt hare
#

@shut lynx it's not doing well

#

Very technically broken, tons of bugs and crashing

#

Game mechanics not working

#

Game is fighting itself all the time

#

Really tedious stealth and combat that's also breaking often

austere lance
#

I forgot how shit-inducing Dead Space 2 is, lol

chrome pawn
#

nostalgiaaaaaaa

gaunt hare
#

Wait a second

#

Why do I seem to remember that game

somber blade
#

Arkham knight is in same for like $5 on steam

austere lance
#

I love the Arkham games 😍

bronze wind
#

Excuse me @iron inlet but fable 1 was amazing

winter yew
#

@limber harness I’m so happy for you that you’ve finally gotten to play Okami

#

I played through the original release on PS2, it’s one of my all-time favorite games

austere lance
#

I want the HD version

winter yew
#

What platforms you own?

#

It’s pretty much on everything at this point (I don’t know if it’s on Xbox one though)

green ocean
#

Its on Sega Saturn

winter yew
#

PC, PS4, Switch, Xbox one.. ahh so it is on there

austere lance
#

It's on Xbox, I'm just broke 😄

winter yew
#

Oh 😦

stoic pendant
#

i have a free 1 month membership for runescape 3

#

should i play it

winter yew
#

Good game

#

Little plane deathmatch thing

#

You play against bots or other players

#

They added a 6.99 subscription model to the game to unlock everything :/ and its a weekly payment wow

teal mason
#

6.99 per week?

#

that's extortionate

cinder vessel
#

wtf

#

i think their greed overtook their rationality

cinder vessel
cinder vessel
#

welp we're done here, lol

#

that would be my reaction to that

rigid haven
#

It's not out on android yet, unfortunately

#

But yeah, it's pretty shitty that they're pulling that

winter yew
#

Screenshot of the VIP membership cuz discord isn’t letting me upload pictures

cinder vessel
#

Uhh, it did work @winter yew. I think your connection may be messin' with ya 😮

winter yew
#

Oh I didn’t see them 😦

#

Oh had to restart

#

Anyway

#

The VIP thing looks like a P2W shortcut for the game

#

As most of the planes all have different stats

cinder vessel
#

Oh, so you can play without it? But it's probably mostly blegh?

winter yew
#

I mean you can play it

#

But the idea that someone can just throw money at the game

#

And have automatically better shit

#

Means it’s going to be a very frustrating deal for those that are playing free

#

Kinda like how Mechwarrior Online or Hawken got ruined by P2W or that whole drama with Star Wars Battlefront 2 and it’s paywall for the better stuff that made it easier to win

cinder vessel
#

Ooh, so it's also a multiplayer thing which definitely mucks that up even more

winter yew
#

Yea

#

There are bots but what’s the point

cinder vessel
#

On the possibly positive side, we might be seeing TimeSplitters remastered 😮

#

THQ Nordic just bought up the rights to the series, and they've some of the original devs with them, so it could go all sorts of interesting ways

winter yew
#

That would be cool

#

I remember playing the originals a little with a friend

iron inlet
#

@bronze wind Fable 1 was great, but Fable 2 was better

#

also TFW the 100GB Forza Motorsport 7 Archive that finally downloaded after like, 4 or 5 days, takes 1 hour to Extract 😭

cinder vessel
#

you should go for lo-fi racing games

#

takes up less space, doesn't need to extract much, boom

iron inlet
#

yeah but Assetto Corsa didn't even run properly and Wreckfest is fun sure but it's not really accurate

cinder vessel
#

who needs accuracy when you can hack other cars 😈

iron inlet
#

That seems quite fun tbh

cinder vessel
#

I've really enjoyed their other games, e.g. Enemy Mind

iron inlet
#

They're just all about that hacking minds 😂

cinder vessel
#

Nah, they made another smol one called R-COIL but I just haven't picked it up yet

#

oh uh.

iron inlet
#

good old epilepsy embeds

#

Oh yeah I've seen that one., it's Geometry Wars basically

cinder vessel
#

Hmm, did Geometry Wars have recoil after every shot tho?

iron inlet
#

unsure, been too long

(it's a bad series of games skip)

light cairn
#

frist of all how dare yuo /s

#

but based on what i know about how you feel about loot stuff i can definitely see why

cinder vessel
#

haha yeah, we've covered this territory before, with this exact series

#

it basically combines two game design things i really can't stand

#

i just want loot games to give solid cool stuff each time 😭 and then for the rare stuff to be a combo of that cool stuff and get really ridiculous

#

junk items just make me 😧

rigid haven
#

Junk items are fun

#

I carried around a skull throughout Skyrim just because I said I would

cinder vessel

lol, i was thinking more of those that are meant to be useful but the stats are too trash to use

Its mood if its temporary... not if its been like that for a few years

#

Elite dangerous on switch would be lit

#

And nms too

#

But it wont happen.

iron inlet
#

No i mean it's mood if it's been like that for a few years too, because same

winter yew
#

@meager panther I mean who knows, NVIDIA could end up making some crazy fast processor that is made for mobiles and runs nms 480p 30fps

meager panther
#

Yeah that wont happen

#

Also nms on 480 p would not need processor heavy stuff

#

Coz i tried lowering internal resolution to 480p and it gave me 60 fps where i normally wont get 30fps

#

So nms on switch is totally possible

winter yew
#

I would wait until the next gen of switch for something like that

#

I play both ESO and GW2. I loved the Morrowind expansion, as that was my favorite of the TES franchise

winter yew
#

i havent gotten any expansions yet, i'm just slogging through the main stuff trying to reach 50

summer heath
#

ESO has become my second favorite TES game, though I still have a soft spot for Oblivion

winter yew
#

i made the mistake of buying vampire low level not realizing the skills are scaled for level 40+ characters

summer heath
#

And Skyrim was good but didn't feel memorable as much to me as the others

#

ESO seems like a better Elder Scrolls game than Skyrim to me, which is counterintuitive. Also Skyrim felt like it needed to be modded to be complete, whereas ESO is a good experience out of the box

winter yew
#

yeah i cant touch skyrim without at least 80+ mods

summer heath
#

Each TES game does a different thing good. Arena was the setup, Daggerfall had a huge world, Morrowind had the best atmospheric writing and lore, Oblivion had the best explorable open world, Skyrim had the sleek modern mechanics, and ESO is the party mix of all of those things + multiplayer

#

I feel like ESO beats Skyrim at writing, combat, world and graphics though, at least out of the box

#

Skyrim's dragon tech was pretty cool to be fair

#

And fus ro dah

winter yew
#

i feel like ESO waters down combat for the sake of balance compared to skyrim

summer heath
#

Skyrim's combat is pretty simple, though I find it fun

#

ESO has interrupts and bashes and using heavy attacks to regain Magicka or stamina on top of all of the skills seems much deeper to me though

#

But Skyrim is more cinematic

#

Like the killcams are pretty fun

winter yew
#

yeah they are satisfying

summer heath
#

ESO technically has those as blade of woe

#

But that's very situational - though the animations are well done and brutal

winter yew
summer heath
#

Buuut I hate Dark Brotherhood ;_;

#

Ooo wazdat

winter yew
#

is the dark brotherhood dlc worth it?

jade lake
#

yes

summer heath
#

Is it a dedicated Intel set?

#

Or cloud gaming thing or is it a gaming integrated chip or what?

#

Wassizit

winter yew
#

pretty sure its a really good integrated gpu

summer heath
#

Neat

winter yew
#

or since the catchphrase is set the graphics free or w/e

#

it could be a standalone intel gpu

summer heath
#

Maybe it's the world's most advanced etch a Sketch

winter yew
#

If it's a powerful integrated gpu then that's pretty cool

#

and I have a feeling it is going to be just that

#

not if it makes the cost as much as buying a good standalone gpu

#

mhm

#

There is no doubt they are aiming high end

#

Maybe mid range if this kicks off perfectly

#

mid range in the future obv

#

mid range in 2020 is going to be GTX 970 at least

#

I keep thinking that 2020 is like 6 years away

#

But it's 2 years

#

nah its just 2 years

#

I know

#

2020 just sounds so futuristic

MGS needed to end tho. Kojima was tired of it enough. Just a shame they didn't let him give it the sendoff finale to the last game that he probably wanted to.

jade lake
#

"metal gear" survive or whatever hurt to watch. it was almost like konami came up to my door and brutally murdered my dog. at least thats what it felt like

#

i like MGSV, but kojima clearly had a deadline he couldnt make for the finished product

light cairn
#

also constantly going over budget

cinder vessel
#

part of me kinda loves that tho, lmao

#

it's like someone gave an artist a blank check from a company & then they ran with it, & if that isn't just the best way to say fuck off capitalism i don't know what is

that's why i'm so glad that's what sony did basically

I kind of disliked Metal Gear 5

Might as well have been a TellTale game

Haha, that sounds more correct

yeah you're defo thinking of 4

Walk 11 steps then crawl under a truck

2 hour cutscene

I watched a friend play the game

#

Fell asleep several times

#

Every time I woke up he was in a cutscene lol

light cairn
#

it's basically a fan game

cinder vessel
#

and it's still not, really, that great tbh

#

To me the series is at its best 1-3

#

Plus Revengeance is kickass

#

But 4 can largely be ignored, insofar as anything in the series can be

jade lake
#

1-3 are all masterpieces, MGS4 is better than PW and MGSV solely because it went all out and is IMO the greatest finale of anything ever

#

gameplay wise MGS4 lacks A LOT

cinder vessel
#

MGS4 is just lol

#

excuse me i love Peacewalker

cinder vessel
#

imo anyway, it tries to dig into what it thinks fans like & comes through the other side being hilarious

Also yeah Peace Walker is cool

#

honestly i think 2 is probably my favorite

cinder vessel
#

I know it's mine

#

I love how batshit it gets yet somehow manages to be semi-coherent

#

3 is a fantastic story, but 2 is a masterpiece in what it was about imo

#

either way i'm glad he's finally free of it so he can work on new stuff

2 is definitely my favorite also, 3 is awesome but 2 always stuck with me more

I don't think I'll ever recover from the fact that Deus Ex was put on ice so that the dev team can work on a fucking Avengers game. It hurts so bad.

I agree.

#

But 🤷

cyan parcel
#

Not saying it can't be good. And the last Deus Ex didn't do too well. But hot dangit, the story is unfinished now.

sour plank
#

Yeah, I hate when things just go unfinished.

#

I'm a fan of continuity, which becomes pointless when there is no end to the main arc/story at least.

cyan parcel
#

It's why I usually hold off on unfinished series

#

Only played the Uncharted games last year for example.

#

All four games (then) in a month

#

Felt very good. But now I look at Deus Ex... and that's probably dead for a while. And Wolfenstein, which I also enjoyed, is moving into a co-op spinoff thing instead of finishing its story. I dunno

sour plank
#

You must not be a kingdom hearts fan then 😂

cyan parcel
#

Maybe Wolf 3 is still happening but them doing this worries me.

#

I am definitely not, in any way, a Kingdom Hearts fan!

Idk. I look at it like fallout 76. Maybe necessary to the world and lore, but won't stop the series from moving forward next.

its super under the radar lol

cinder vessel
#

Yeah I was gonna say, I've seen very little talk about it =/

But what little I do remember seeing was positive

jade lake
#

its honestly one of the best games of this year, im surprised there isnt more talk about it

cinder vessel
#

y'know another great fuckin' game? Blaster Master Zero, same devs if I'm not mistaken

#

That was one of my fav games from last year

#

When you give them the time & direction, they can make some fantastic games

jade lake
#

inti creates is pretty awesome, considering what they have done with stuff like that

#

excpet mighty no.9

#

fuck that shit

cinder vessel
#

lol tbh the worst part of it was the mess of its production & the resulting look of the game, the gameplay itself is honestly not that bad

#

They're just not 2.5D devs, by any means, nor Triple A with the ability to build for a bunch of different platforms simultaneously

mighy no 9 was more comcepts fault than inti afaik

i want to bop the people in the head that think streaming games is good as the primary means of distribution & playing games

thankfully only the jerks making money off that tend to think that

stoic pendant

streaming is a good OPTION

but only if you have a good connection

cinder vessel

but only as an option

stoic pendant
#

exactly

#

nvidia should let you rent one of their machines and let you use just that for a monthly/yearly subscription

#

it'd be good for people with good internet but no pc

#

or rather

weak ass pcs

cinder vessel

i think they were already sorta working on that?

like literally renting components in enclosures or somesuch

some wild overpriced shit tho still

there was gamestream

onlive worked pretty well tbh

Some french company named Shadow

Or rather that's the name of their service

cinder vessel

the company itself is just French Studios

(not really)

It's been shown as a like a settop box that instead streams an entire gaming pc

they ran away

didn't they

i actually plan on using it some day

difference being their box links you up with some gaming pc elsewhere

#

Well, hosting ROMs is illegal. Dumb law, but still illegal.

#

Also, discord's tos is draconian as fuck. You technically can get banned from discord (all of discord) for talking about how to exploit game bugs. According to ToS, sharing links to illegal content is grounds for a guild/network ban.

#

"abandonware" does not exist as a legal concept, so as such ROMs are considered software piracy and a violation of DMCA/other applicable laws. If you don't like this, go blame Sony, Disney, the US government, and Hollywood.

#

Oh, and John Deere.

#

And the entire music record industry.

#

The law is also clear - if you own a legally licensed copy of any software, you are entitled to make at least one (according to software license) backup for personal use only, applicable to the same license conditions. It's not that we "let" ROMs become illegal - they were just protected under the same copyright laws.

#

Also, you might ask why nintendo is doing this all of a sudden. Well, if they even believe that ROMs interfere with sales of snes classic/nes classic/their official emulators/etc...

cinder vessel
#

who cares they're an unethical corporation hellbent on destroying cultural history & packing their vaults with cash, doesn't matter what their legal basis is

limber harness
#

Ethics dont trump laws.

cinder vessel
#

and there's a big ol' problem there

limber harness
#

Wanna solve it? Become a politician.

#

And balance everyone's definition of "ethical"

#

And, removing ROMs doesn't "destroy cultural history"

#

They're publishing their own emulators (for profit). You can always buy a Game Boy and Pokemon Red from eBay, etc.

#

Nintendo et al have just as much right to do this as you do to not play their games or not buy their products.

#

Ethically, for the company, they have a financial responsibility to maximize profits, and keep the shareholders happy. They have an ethical reason to take down ROM sites, even if it looks greedy to us.

cinder vessel
#

Sorry, no it does.

#

That is, it does destroy cultural history, because digitization is a primary means of preservation for physical media which when not archived properly (and even when it is) is subject to degradation.

limber harness
#

There are still digital copies. You can (legally) back up your flash cart.

#

Nintendo has their own dumps, I'm certain.

#

You can keep and move your backup flash cart around, and use it for personal purposes as much as you want. That doesn't mean you're legally allowed to publicly share it

#

"not publicly downloadable" != "isn't digitally archived". Plus, we all know how impossible it is to stop piracy, so it's always gonna be around outside of rom host sites.

cinder vessel
#

And also was getting up to get a drink so cut myself short, but ethics do override laws. Laws themselves are an imprint of a sense of ethics at specific times, but when one comes to regard them as unjust either from their very inception, or through later rulings or amendments, one has an absolute necessity to scream and shout and protest until they are overturned and changed.

One does not need to simply, "become a politician," but to be an engaged citizen in the relevant nations where these laws are being misused to essentially perpetually hoard cultural elements for the possibility of profit should they be so inclined.

limber harness
#

"protest laws and demand they be changed" != "willfully and knowingly break laws because you consider them 'wrong'"

cinder vessel
#

No, you do often have to break unethical laws.

limber harness
#

I think the law against murder is unethical.

cinder vessel
#

Do I really need to point to the Civil Rights Movement here

limber harness
#

I should have a right to defend myself via lethal force if necessary.

cinder vessel
#

You know exactly what I'm getting at 🙄

#

You're just being all Devil's Advocate

limber harness
#

As any debate needs.

#

If you think I'm happy with rom sites being shut down, I'm not. I have scripts running to dump everything I can to my NAS and backup system.

cinder vessel
#

Either way we've already seen this play out in history before, businesses are in the wrong here & their actions may lead us to a loss of early games.

#

I mean hell, I'm sure we already have many old, good, games lost due to poor practices among early devs

limber harness
#

It's a problem, but it's not unique.

#

How many pieces of art (music, paintings, etc) were lost in the same vein? It sucks to lose those too, even though we can do something about it nowadays.

cinder vessel
#

I'm one of those people still pissed about the Library of Alexandria being lost, so yeah

limber harness
#

But with these roms, I can absolutely guarantee private collections exist and will be maintained until the Internet as a whole dies. They won't be lost, but they also won't necessarily be freely available.

#

(ignoring the obvious p2p file sharing system)

#

As much as it sucks, though, Nintendo does have the right to do this. It should be changed so they don't, yes, but then we get a new issue - where do we draw the line?

#

Windows 7 is cultually significant, should we give free copies of that to everyone? Who decides "culturally significant"? How old does a work need to be/how long must it not be "buyable"?

#

etc etc etc etc.

cinder vessel
#

At a year, lmao. There's never going to be any agreement. Anyone in the public would want it within a reasonable time, anyone in the private field would want to retain control perpetually

#

And "reasonable time" there will vary, but I'd imagine they'd say within their lifetime

teal mason
#

just wait til mickey mouse's right is close to expiration

cinder vessel
#

But even current laws are arguably "in my lifetime" if I happen to live a long as fuck life

limber harness
#

Companies are going to refuse to give their product away, no matter how old.

cinder vessel
#

But either way, the line should essentially be: never for-fucking-ever.

limber harness
#

If people are willing to pay for it, there's gonna be a pay wall. You can't really force a company to give things away either, tbh.

cinder vessel
#

Yes you can, lmao

limber harness
#

And the company can say "oops we deleted our version of the rom" or "lmao no fuck this we aren't doing anything else"

cinder vessel
#

You can't force them to continue to produce it necessarily, although you could, but you could make them give existing stock away

limber harness
#

Software has no stock

#

You can make freely infinite copies of a binary, soo

cinder vessel
#

see that's where the economy just stops making sense anyway

limber harness
#

And companies can still protest this with "okay fine, we won't make any more games because it makes no economic sense if it's gonna be free in five years"

cinder vessel
#

too bad, if they can't recoup the costs in five years that's on them anyway

limber harness
#

Persistent support is a thing. Bug fixes are a thing. Server costs are a thing.

teal mason
#

eh, just look at PD2

limber harness
#

If you get a product from a company, you expect reasonable support. There's even (legally) an implicit warranty.

teal mason
#

they've supported the game for 5 years and the price has gone down 70%

#

actually, more

#

from ~$200 with all dlcs to $30 now

#

that's a model I'm willing to get behind

#

doesn't need to go free, just chop down the fucking price

limber harness
#

Wanna fix this mess? Revert public domain laws.

cinder vessel
#

i mean basically, and then kill Disney

limber harness
#

Make public domain expire in a reasonable time. If not this generation, in time for the next one

#

So, min 20 years, probably 30 for companies.

cinder vessel
#

really tho disney has gotta be basically a near-monopoly at this point

limber harness
#

Or if you hate Nintendo for doing this, speak out against social media and don't give them money

#

Companies listen to money, so if there's a huge financial backlash to a decision, they'll change their minds or be forced to die.

cinder vessel
#

reminding ppl constantly that Nintendo is shit for this is basically the even better way, since people basically never boycott consistently enough to be effective

limber harness
#

Well, there you go. Boycotts don't work. Look at Linux gaming.

cinder vessel
#

Every time they have a Nintendo Direct: "Hey but remember they're shitheads because online support is garbage, they shut down ROM sites to make you buy their worse alternative, the NES/SNES Mini"

#

Like there's a fuckton of reasons one can give for why not to support Nintendo.
-Shutting down ROM sites
-Trying to take money from all YouTube vids featuring their games
-Inconsistent as fuck provision of their classic games library
-Inability to easily transfer your purchased games across their own consoles
-Shitty online support

#

Their consoles are such a mess in terms of digital games stuff, and I don't think they have any support for purchasing a game once & getting it across all compatible Nintendo consoles

teal mason
#

I haven't been buying EA games likewise

#

ubisoft is turning around since they stopped making ass creed yearly last time

cinder vessel
#

Ubisoft is still scummy tho in some respects, like how they've been clumsily handling Beyond Good & Evil 2's development. Albeit not sure how much of that is them, and how much may be the dev team being bonkers

teal mason
#

tbh I don't mind development being slow

#

just don't be another SC

#

I'm actually kinda glad they are going into more weird "what the fuck" games like the Elijah Wood one

cinder vessel
#

That's the iffy part, they were asking for community to submit spec work, which they'd only then pay them for if they used it, and that's just bleck

teal mason
#

yeah it's pretty gray tbh

cinder vessel

Yeah, I do appreciate that they occasionally get weird, unlike the other publishers

Just in terms of the PC version

gaunt hare
#

I've beaten all the games twice but I want to play the dlc

#

If I don't feel like playing the main games after, I'll take it back. But I really, really like those games 😄

bronze wind
#

Yeah I feel you

#

I will be gone in 90 seconds 👀👀👀

#

can someone tell me why the bioshock fanbase fucking LOATHES 2 and infinite

cinder vessel
#

If I had to guess it's because 2 was just kind of more of the same, and Infinite was a few steps back in offering fewer compelling options to navigate encounters, and was also simply more linear & less sandboxy

#

Plus Infinite was even more obvious in its theme park of issues approach, where they gave extremely superficial takes on real world situations & ideas without really engaging with them in any meaningful way

#

okay so ReCore: Definitive Edition is finally coming to Steam & I'm very interested in picking that up at some point 😮

#

The first bioshock was just so immersive if I’m correct that’s the one where you get in a severe plane accident and it just transitions into gameplay after a short cutscene and from there on it just continues to entangle you in its world the other 2 were just that sequels to what was already a perfect experience

#

I distinctly remember playing as my older brother watched and he thought that the cutscene was still going as I swam up to that light house it was moments like that even in 2007 that just propelled it into the hall of game fame

austere lance
#

I love Bioshock 2, Infinite was cool but I wasn't a fan of them completely replacing the setting and enemies and plasmids

#

Also Recore is sooooooo bad

winter yew
#

Hmmm

austere lance
#

I got it for free with Game Pass and still deleted it after a couple hours, it's 😴

winter yew
#

Anyone looking forward to Biomutant?

austere lance
#

Yes!

winter yew
#

I have no idea what it’s about but the gameplay bits I’ve seen look like my kinda game

austere lance
#

I hope they refine the combat, the last gameplay I watched was pretty meh

winter yew
#

I just hope they tone down the narration

#

Honestly

austere lance
#

I just want Beyond Good and Evil 2 gameplay/beta 😭

#

I've been part of the Space Monkey Program for like 6 months now waiting for an alpha /beta

winter yew
#

🤔

#

Yeaaah I’m not a fan of the narrator lol

#

‘POW!’

#

‘You hit it!’

#

😒

knotty sable
#

I’m interested to see what they do with beyond good and evil that could easily be the makings of an amazing open world rpg with wacky characters and not just one living breathing world but a few with the way they have presented it that and cyberpunk

cinder vessel
#

I'm not expecting much from Beyond Good & Evil 2. Loved the first, but they've already taken several steps back with the art style alone imo

austere lance
#

The game's friggin huge, lol

knotty sable
#

That’s a part of some people’s concern and rightly so bigger is not always better

austere lance
#

You can be a space pirate 😍

knotty sable
#

Just give me red dead spider man smash some fist of the north star( NA version ) last of us 2 and the next mainline Pokémon game 2019 one not the shit ones on the side o and the new Bethesda stuff and I’ll be happy 😊

austere lance
#

Plus the the universe and lore are great, it's gonna have plenty of stuff about the fucked up ways hybrids are treated

knotty sable
#

Maybe a borderlands 3 at some point maybe?

cinder vessel
#

all of those make me sort of sad, lol

#

not that they'll be bad, mind, just that...They're all kind of safe things

#

Established properties, etc.

knotty sable
#

So then what is it that has you excited 😆

cinder vessel
#

Like no joke, Starfield is probably the only thing I'm interested in from Bethesda for the foreseeable future

knotty sable
#

Fist of the North Star is a lil niche though it does take from the yakuza tittles

cinder vessel
#

Yeah, that's true

#

Also whatever the hell that Falcon Age game turns out to be that I posted earlier has me pretty curious & sorta excited

knotty sable
#

Hmm some games I’m out of the loop ooo dreams that’s an interesting one

cinder vessel
#

Outer Wilds looks super interesting

knotty sable
#

Media molecules new brain child

cinder vessel
#

I really am just curious about wtf is going on with Dreams, lol

knotty sable
#

Ya

#

So is everyone

cinder vessel
#

That game's been in dev for so long now

knotty sable
#

We want a beta give us a beta!

austere lance
#

I need Metro Exodus, Anthem, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Rage 2

#

And BGE 2

cinder vessel
#

Anthem has me super skeptical, they have not done a great job talking it up

austere lance
#

The devs are pretty cool in the Discord

knotty sable
#

Sorry ea just give me skate 4 😭 sadly black box was broken up so i doubt that will happen i hear things about session but i just can’t let go

austere lance
#

The 20 minute Anthem gameplay video is 👌

knotty sable
#

Really though is it? Is there some new video of anthem because that almost sounds like a sales pitch 😂

#

Iron man with friends!!! Ya I mean it’s an interesting concept but is it enough and then ea’s dark hood shrouds it in some vague development mystique will it play like its shown questions arise

#

They do have some new vids of it up so I’ll take a look and see if anything major has changed

#

It’s pretty that’s for sure nice to see they are implementing some form of matchmaking almost like monster hunter in order to take on specific quests infact i get a lot of that feeling here if they stay true to not gouging it with pay walls and micro transactions could be good hopefully when they say “the game should feel complete at launch” they mean it

austere lance
#

Did you not watch the 20 minute gameplay? Cuz it showed what the game will basically be like

knotty sable
#

Watching it now

#

Where you think I’m pulling these quotes from my ass lol

austere lance
#

😂

knotty sable
#

Water looks good

#

Didn’t think we could submerge

#

I guess I want to get deep into the customization and see just how varied the gameplay can get and to see how all that works with random group members and buddies ya plays games with frequently

#

Big monsters!!

austere lance
#

Large boi

knotty sable
#

Game makes me think of Nintendo’s daemon x machina which I’m a lil more into though it’s a little more simple and artsy it’s vibrancy and call back to the old robot fighting games calls to me

#

Anthem looks interesting though probably not my cup of tea

austere lance
#

-Anthem is a Dynamic World. You might hear on Twitter about a crazy storm hitting on the weekend, see what people are experiencing, and then jump in the game and experience that same thing.

-There will be Dynamic Events that alter the game, and much of it is built around seasons. As the weather changes on the alien world, you’ll experience different conditions, new creatures, and even new story elements as the storyline progresses.

-An example Event could be a giant migration of creatures. Specifically mentions "Irsics" (or something like that), which are gigantic, ape-like, insect creatures they apparently haven't shown yet.

-There will be daily/weekly challenges, side quests, and repeatable quests.
@knotty sable

cinder vessel
#

owait, they're trying dynamic events too?

#

i don't trust that to be much beyond cyclical events with minimal impact on the feel of the world =/

jade lake
#

has anyone here played links awakening

cinder vessel
#

A little, yeah

jade lake
#

for a gameboy game, its really fucking good

cinder vessel
#

I started it & then veered off for some reason 🤔

#

I think maybe I got stuck or couldn't figure something out, but I can't remember

jade lake
#

what i find interesting is instead of a port of a console game, which most GB games were, this was made from the ground up

#

it needs a remake lol

#

its funny because nintendo wont ever do it

cinder vessel
#

too bad fans can't do that without getting Nintendo shutting them down

#

nintendo aeyes

jade lake
#

the AM2R one is still bullshit

#

Nintendo needs to get over themselves sometimes

cinder vessel
#

i think i probably love Nintendo's developers and can't stand their business & legal departments/teams

jade lake
#

Nintendo knows how to make some fuckin games i'll tell you, but they have no goddamn idea how to run a business

cinder vessel
#

i mean they do, they just don't know how to run a business that doesn't piss people off pretty often, lol

#

they've a fuckton of money after all

jade lake
#

to simplify what i meant, they've made some pretty fuckin weird decisions lol

cinder vessel
#

yeah, that's for sure

#

"let's make another console!" "what will we call it? wii 2?" "no, no, Wii U!" "aaah, brilliant!"

teal mason

@jade lake I know I’m late to this but Link’s Awakening was my game when I was a child. I got it with the OG Gameboy in the early 90s and got stuck in the second dungeon and ended up writing a letter to Nintendo asking for help lol

jade lake
#

did they respond? lol

winter yew
#

They actually wrote back and gave me a hint, without directly giving me the answer

#

It was so awesome

jade lake
#

thats really cool

teal mason
#

didn't Nintendo had a hotline in somepoint

winter yew
#

Yes

jade lake
#

yeah

teal mason
#

that was pretty bonkers

jade lake
#

dude thats sick they responded

cinder vessel
#

did you keep the letter back 😮

winter yew
#

Nah

#

That was sooo long ago

#

As far as a sequel, I dunno how that would work considering the story of Link’s Awakening

#

I could see a remake

#

The animal village was pretty cool though

jade lake
#

there were a ton of rumors about some 3ds remake back in january, im sure they're fake, but it would be pretty cool if it was real

teal mason
#

yes

#

I agree

vague trench
#

My hype for doom eternal is so absurdly high

#

i would spam all caps on every server im in if i didn't get mass banned for doing that

#

@teal mason

#

And thats not counting my switch hours

teal mason
#

man that's some dedication

jade lake
#

is good game👍

teal mason
#

it is, it really is

light cairn
#

oh my god that's a lot of hours in doom

teal mason
#

just wish I have friends to play with so I can obliterate em in mp

#

oh wait the mp is not that great

jade lake
#

Doom eternal looks fuckin crazy, but the possibility of metroid prime and animal crossing next year are much more prominent

#

to me at least

vague trench
#

My only dissapointment with doom eternal is lack of snapmap

#

Mod support is planned post launch though

#

so if that isn't like

#

5 years later

#

and more along the lines of 1 year later

#

then that won

#

won't be to big of an issue

#

Doom is honestly one of my favorite games of all time

#

People love it but i still think its under rated

#

I've replayed the campaign atleast 10 times

#

doing another replay currently

#

I play a lot of snapmaps to

#

arcade mode as well, although im not very good at it

knotty sable
#

Wait doom enteral has no snap map?

#

Just bought doom and I’m in love with it doom eternal looks so great but some of the features in doom are just so ☺️🤩🤯

cinder vessel
#

Yooo @vague trench dat's me. I'm very miffed at Eternal's absence of SnapMap & questionable possibilities of modding support

rigid haven
#

I thought, in most situations, "If it exists, you can mod it" was true?

cinder vessel
#

yeah, kinda.

#

it's just a bit more work depending on the nature of the game when without mod tools/sdk stuff

knotty sable
#

Ya but mod support just opens the doors to a more community centric and all around smoother modding process especially with support from the dev team with tools to assist

#

Nms and it’s modding community surely wouldn’t mind that sort of thing also

cinder vessel
#

take FTL for instance, being the kind of game it is, it's not too difficult to mod. jump up to something like NMS tho, and it's more of a challenge.

knotty sable
#

True sometimes it’s just how the game is created and currently works that can cause mod support to be an issue

cinder vessel
#

Important to point out there, both games don't have official mod support really

#

It's just more or less the devs being like, eh sure go at it
