I never got into DOOM
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.
Lol
#QuakeCon2018 Keynote feat. DOOM Eternal Gameplay Reveal | Friday, August 10th @ 11am CT/ 12pm ET
new info drop on fallout 76 soon
Calm your attitude, I haven’t done anything to you
@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
i mean, not every game has to do something new as long as it does it well
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?
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
Doom Eternal is a lesser game than Doom without SnapMap/modding tools
Also Bethesda is being an ass about selling used games now (again?)
*Zenimax
so Assetto Corsa is a steaming sack of shit that barely works
if you want a good racing game, get Forza
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
Indeed it is
devs don't want to compress stuff anymore 😫
Halo 5 is about 100 GB, lol
hey guys how's that photorealism going for you? oh, it's eating your hard drives? lol
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
this guy is/was a machine at speedrunning Halo: https://youtu.be/ZwQOpRcEoJ8?t=6m51s
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
China lost the war of Alaska, didn't you play Fallout 3? 😄
I can already imagine Chinese players RPing as remnants lol
it'd be lore accurate, the way they grief and "play" in general
also, this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dF6ufGDSmNs
This is the greatest movie experience of All Time
you gotta love how the blocks are in context with the fucking movie itself
wonder how much time the madman who created this spent
Welp, I know what I'm watching for the next 8:39
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/
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?
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
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
Since Darwin Project is free now I'm gonna try it, has anyone here played it?
Yep! It's fun
I normally dislike BR games cuz they're so similar and repetitive, Darwin looks cool though
It's more skill based and the matches are way faster
there's also more customization in the items you can use
Nice
The Director is also a cool role, a good one can totally change how a match feels
Is a random player every match the Director?
you queue in as the director, so it's always someone who wants to be it
This game's 800x better than Fortnite

@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
considering how it runs on base ps4 i'm not surprised with performance issues
it really is gorgeous though
is it rough on base PS4 too?
yo fellas i got the new warioware
nice!
this game is seriously overlooked
i mean the 3ds is pretty dead but damn this is another golden title from them
the studio thing where you dub OVER the characters in cutscenes is actually really funny
All of the raw unedited scenes Brady and I dubbed on the stream. There's two I haven't unlocked yet, so we've got all but two of them here.
as an example
@empty iron https://www.satisfactorygame.com/
It's an upcoming game - like a first person Factorio
:D
Do people here play GTA:Online?

Not anymore
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.. 😅
I still play on occasion, but PC.
^
Fired it up today actually. Going to work through the Doomsday Heist stuff
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
Well, it's my GF who'd be my number 2, so I think we'd be okay (hopefully)
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
https://store.steampowered.com/app/222880/Insurgency/ its free to pick up on steam atm

Destiny 2 👍 or 👎
👍
👌
The lore is amazing
The art style is 👌
The gameplay is 👌
But destiny 2 was eh
Forsaken tho
Yeet
i'm so pumped
But destiny 2 = 💩
at launch yes, now, no (imo)
Destiny>Destiny 2 by a friggin mile
fortunately Forsaken should fix that
Every game > destiny 2
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 👌
uh, you can get base game plus forsaken plus all the y1 dlc for $60
Since when, they definitely didn't say that when they announced it 😄
think it was properly announced two weeks ago?
They should’ve stayed with halo tbh
👀
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
Diablo 3 is really good
@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
That too!
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?
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?
There's Lovers but I'm not sure if that's online
Uh, Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime
haha that game, yeah that is a fun little indie game
I played it alone though
how does it play alone?
It's pretty decent
iirc you can order the AI companion around and they do a pretty decent job of things
ah cool
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?
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)
By the same devs as Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons iirc
that's not coop
not intentionally at least
oh wait, missed the context, sorry
buy yeah A Way Out is fantastic!
Anyone wanna play it with me? My bf won't play it
play NMS?
A way out
oh okay
Also with the friend pass is that a one time only thing? Or can I invite one friend and then a different friend later?
A Friend Pass?
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
Ohh, yeah
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
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 
hmm
😦
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 🤷
Isn't that by the Molyneux guy?
So I've heard, heh
yeah, godus was shit
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
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
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
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
Money of course
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"
He's mad because a different dev is making Fable 4
lol
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.
I wonder what kind of art-style Fable 4 will have
It is!
Oh shit, I forgot Okami HD was a thing
Fable 4 needs to be like Fable 2 not Fable 3 or Fable 1
if you disagree, you're wrong
Fable 1>
Black and White > Fable
We Happy Few is about anti depressents, according to the developer.
Oh fuck off.
How is that game anyway? I wouldve thought it make more noise
Looked to me like the next Bioshock
we happy few is a tryhard bioshock game
its cheesy imo and trys sooo goddamn hard to be unique but it just falls flat
@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
I forgot how shit-inducing Dead Space 2 is, lol
Arkham knight is in same for like $5 on steam
I love the Arkham games 😍
Excuse me @iron inlet but fable 1 was amazing
@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
I want the HD version
What platforms you own?
It’s pretty much on everything at this point (I don’t know if it’s on Xbox one though)
Its on Sega Saturn
PC, PS4, Switch, Xbox one.. ahh so it is on there
It's on Xbox, I'm just broke 😄
Oh 😦

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
this is some potentially good stuff:
http://news.cision.com/thq-nordic-ab/r/thq-nordic-acquires-timesplitters,c2592484
THQ Nordic today announced the acquisition of the video game trilogy Timesplitters.
Timesplitters
It's not out on android yet, unfortunately
But yeah, it's pretty shitty that they're pulling that
Screenshot of the VIP membership cuz discord isn’t letting me upload pictures
Uhh, it did work @winter yew. I think your connection may be messin' with ya 😮
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
Oh, so you can play without it? But it's probably mostly blegh?
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
Ooh, so it's also a multiplayer thing which definitely mucks that up even more
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
@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 😭
you should go for lo-fi racing games
takes up less space, doesn't need to extract much, boom
yeah but Assetto Corsa didn't even run properly and Wreckfest is fun sure but it's not really accurate
how about...Byte Driver: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/miketiv/byte-driver/posts/2262857
I just wanted to share what I've been working on:https://youtu.be/uQK7hyGxQnE

who needs accuracy when you can hack other cars 😈
That seems quite fun tbh
I've really enjoyed their other games, e.g. Enemy Mind
They're just all about that hacking minds 😂
Nah, they made another smol one called R-COIL but I just haven't picked it up yet
oh uh.
oh damn, it's on sale: https://vectorhat.itch.io/r-coil
(didn't realize it would embed with a potentially epilepsy unfriendly gif)
Hmm, did Geometry Wars have recoil after every shot tho?
unsure, been too long

Aug 16, 2018
It looks really interesting, and is by the same fellows that made Race The Sun, which is a lovely game
about to finish castlevania iv, FUCK this is a good game
I am too lazy to beat it but the music is 
oh dang, Diablo 3 is coming to Switch!!!
nice
🤷

(it's a bad series of games skip)
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
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 😧
Junk items are fun
I carried around a skull throughout Skyrim just because I said I would
lol, i was thinking more of those that are meant to be useful but the stats are too trash to use
Ohhh
You know that feeling when one day you just stop caring about a game?
hell yeah
Overwatch but with Cats - ALL HEROES - "Katsuwatch" (UPDATED) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPc51Kh692s
You know that feeling when one day you just stop caring about life?
mood
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.
No i mean it's mood if it's been like that for a few years too, because same
@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
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
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
i havent gotten any expansions yet, i'm just slogging through the main stuff trying to reach 50
ESO has become my second favorite TES game, though I still have a soft spot for Oblivion
i made the mistake of buying vampire low level not realizing the skills are scaled for level 40+ characters
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
yeah i cant touch skyrim without at least 80+ mods
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
i feel like ESO waters down combat for the sake of balance compared to skyrim
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
yeah they are satisfying
ESO technically has those as blade of woe
But that's very situational - though the animations are well done and brutal
Don't know if #off-topic-bond-james-bond or #other-games but this is definitely cool

We will set our graphics free. #SIGGRAPH2018 https://t.co/vAoSe4WgZX
410
942
is the dark brotherhood dlc worth it?
yes
Is it a dedicated Intel set?
Or cloud gaming thing or is it a gaming integrated chip or what?
Wassizit
pretty sure its a really good integrated gpu
Neat
or since the catchphrase is set the graphics free or w/e
it could be a standalone intel gpu
Maybe it's the world's most advanced etch a Sketch
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
Yeah
Cyberpunk music starts playing
free right now https://www.humblebundle.com/store/orwell
what other castlevanias should i play after IV
i've always heard Symphony of the Night was one of the best
i should look into that, especially knowing i still have a ps1 lol

I'm super happy it's free
Also, Castlevania games?
Dude, go play fucking
Aria of Sorrow
And the sequel, Dawn of Sorrow
Or even Order of Ecclesia
I've not played SotN but I've also heard it's good
im gonna cop a new memory card and SotN hopefully tomorrow
noice!
reminds me of when konami was good
them letting a bunch of their stuff into Smash is nice at least
smash has done more for castlevania and metal gear solid that konami has done in 3 years
its such a shame especially considering MGS is my favorite franchise
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.
"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
also constantly going over budget
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
walk three steps, 5 hour cutscene
but open world stuff? 🤔
wait I might be thinking of 4
Haha, that sounds more correct
yeah you're defo thinking of 4
V was lit
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
it's basically a fan game
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
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
MGS4 is just lol
excuse me i love Peacewalker
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
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
Anybody know how to see how much time you've played on an ARMA3 server? q.q
o_O
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.
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.
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.
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
You must not be a kingdom hearts fan then 😂
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.
Haha yes
wolfenstein 2 kinda sucked
No u
ok kev
Does anyone here play BF4?
has anyone here played bloodstained curse of the moon
lol it's not out yet...?
@cinder vessel you're thinking of ritual of the night
the 8 bit one that came out in may is the one im talking about
its super under the radar lol
Yeah I was gonna say, I've seen very little talk about it =/
But what little I do remember seeing was positive
its honestly one of the best games of this year, im surprised there isnt more talk about it
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
inti creates is pretty awesome, considering what they have done with stuff like that
excpet mighty no.9
fuck that shit
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
Capcom's such an old guy company now, it's kinda sad sometimes, but then they have a spark of brilliance & you're like, "Fuck yeah!"
konami is similar in terms of being an old guy company, but they're the pissy kind that hates everyone and everything
lmao basically
Capcom tries to stay hip & just struggles a bunch, Konami yells at everyone
if i could put the higher ups in pachinko balls & run them through their own pachinko machines i would
like make a giant pachinko machine or shrink them, one of those two
Hot damn, the For Honor campaign is actually pretty fun. More importantly, it's a challenge
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
GUYS
THIS IS VERY
IMPORTANT
INSTALL GREASEMONKEY OR TAMPERMONKEY THEN INSTALL THIS SCRIPT https://gist.github.com/Eptun/3fdcc84552e75e452731cd4621c535e9/raw/d1dcc00185085ce10df8bebcc2a640fd01ef9058/emuparadise.eptun.user.js
GO ON A ROM PAGE ON EMUPARADISE
RIGHT CLICK AND OPEN IN A NEW TAB THE LINK THAT SAYS "DOWNLOAD WITH WORKAROUND"
SAVE YOUR ROMS WHILE YOU STILL CAN
🤔 If I had a server to copy over their database I'd be all over that
wait whats happening to roms?
And then I'd try to pass it around, make the corporate jerks play whackamole
cause that sounds like a spam
Nintendo's being a dick trying to pressure sites to stop hosting ROMs
EMUPARADISE AND ISOZONE ARE DOWN
So Emuparadise has taken down theirs, for the moment, to avoid legal bullshit
LOVEROMS IS GETTING TARGETED
But apparently there's a little workaround atm
got a link to an article talking about what's happening?
WE DON'T KNOW HOW LONG EMUPARADISE WILL KEEP ROMS ON THEIR CDN
SAVE EM WHILE YOU CAN
how much material are we talking about
@stark palm EVERY ROM IS AVAILABLE SO FAR
please stop typing in all caps
don't give them ideas 
(but not really)
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND
Well, it was kind of bound to happen just maybe, not to play devil's advocate
Phase 2 is that you will slowly turn into a man with a monocle
i mean i do understand i just also know i don't have enough hard drive space for all the things =/
Not exactly the same but I've seen the same thing happen with piratebay tons of time
has 3 tb of freespace total.
Tbh this info is best passed over to game archivists, altho if EmuParadise was cool they'd already be in contact with them
Because like, y'know, fuck these corporate jerks
i was just banned in a server
cause
"roms are illegal stop posting links i'll report you to discord"
YOU CUCKS, YOU LET THIS HAPPEN BY LABELLING ROMS AS ILLEGAL AND NOT BELIEVING IN PRESERVING HISTORY THROUGH BACKUPS
huff.
huff.
save the dos games 😰
i want to say a bunch of those are already partly saved via InternetArchive 🤔
everyone is downloading too fast
servers are getting overloaded
play skyfall.
this is the end...
i mean, yeah, considering it's gonna be a pain in the ass to get ROMS elsewhere
because Nintendo hates everyone
next you'll only be able to stream games
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
but only as an option
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
i think they were already sorta working on that?
like literally renting components in enclosures or somesuch
some wild overpriced shit tho still
I'm trying to remember this one service that Super Bunnyhop covered
What was it is called...
An in-depth look at the rise and fall of PC cloud streaming services, as seen by a small French company attempting to disrupt the entire industry. Again. The...
It's been shown as a like a settop box that instead streams an entire gaming pc
Blade is the company name, apparently
And according to George (Super Bunnyhop) he saw no compression artifacts or input lag
i actually plan on using it some day
difference being their box links you up with some gaming pc elsewhere
Well, this is like a dedicated gaming pc from their servers on demand
Reportedly, it's an entire computer you have access to, OS and full permissions included

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...
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
Ethics dont trump laws.
and there's a big ol' problem there
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.
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.
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.
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.
"protest laws and demand they be changed" != "willfully and knowingly break laws because you consider them 'wrong'"
No, you do often have to break unethical laws.
I think the law against murder is unethical.
Do I really need to point to the Civil Rights Movement here
I should have a right to defend myself via lethal force if necessary.
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.
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
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.
I'm one of those people still pissed about the Library of Alexandria being lost, so yeah
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.
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
just wait til mickey mouse's right is close to expiration
But even current laws are arguably "in my lifetime" if I happen to live a long as fuck life
Companies are going to refuse to give their product away, no matter how old.
But either way, the line should essentially be: never for-fucking-ever.
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.
Yes you can, lmao
And the company can say "oops we deleted our version of the rom" or "lmao no fuck this we aren't doing anything else"
You can't force them to continue to produce it necessarily, although you could, but you could make them give existing stock away
see that's where the economy just stops making sense anyway
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"
too bad, if they can't recoup the costs in five years that's on them anyway
Persistent support is a thing. Bug fixes are a thing. Server costs are a thing.
eh, just look at PD2
If you get a product from a company, you expect reasonable support. There's even (legally) an implicit warranty.
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
Wanna fix this mess? Revert public domain laws.
i mean basically, and then kill Disney
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.
really tho disney has gotta be basically a near-monopoly at this point
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.
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
Well, there you go. Boycotts don't work. Look at Linux gaming.
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
I haven't been buying EA games likewise
ubisoft is turning around since they stopped making ass creed yearly last time
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
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
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
yeah it's pretty gray tbh
Yeah, I do appreciate that they occasionally get weird, unlike the other publishers
Where can I download roms now?
Looking to stock up for the future
So I can sell them for a dollar each
hell
50cents
anyone who needs wii or gamecube iso's i know a great site for them

destiny 2 haha funny
@brisk merlin I really wanna get back into D2 but so many games right now. Active clans are the best
I'm a heathen and only play Master Chief Collection, NMS, and For Honor rn 😄
Death's Gambit is a good one for Souls fans
I'd play more but I've no clue what I'm supposed to do
Man, it sucks seeing the news about We Happy Few being pretty rough atm =/
I'm enjoying the hell out of Prey. Needed a break from freeform gaming and needed something a bit more linear (though Prey is fairly open for what it is)
I enjoy Prey but I'm kinda stuck in that one lol.
can't really talk about it without spoiling
@winter yew ew a furry
@somber blade you in the wrong place
We don't take kindly to people not respecting others round these parts
@pastel jewel I think Prey is really underrated, for all it's issues. I really want to get Mooncrash
ok that bionicle gif is pretty dank tho
@somber blade I suggest keeping your opinion to yourself, or I’ll have one of the mods have a nice little chat with you.
Mods gay

Bye milk 
😱

I am really hooked for Star Citizen
Fuck I just remembered NG+ comes out for GoW today
@gaunt hare come be excited w/ me
🤔
no me
Have you played GoW?
nope
i want to play as a viking not Kratos tbh
this game's aesthetic is yes:
https://blog.us.playstation.com/2018/08/20/falcon-age-revealed-for-ps4-and-ps-vr/
Looks neat
@bronze wind I just made my brother play it last night
He was blown away
I just got Mooncrash and the BioShock collection, but I'm going to beat GoW first
Hell yeah
I'm installing the update rn
Gonna start a new game 😩
Well, new game plus 😏
I've only played Bioshock 2 and Infinite, they were hella good though
1 and 2 are my favorites
🤔 that's an interesting way to go through the series
I prefer 2 over infinite even
Where did you buy the collection, PS4?
I'm really glad to find out how challenging it is
I knew the story and direction was great
but the combat is awesome too
I need to get the collection, I've only played them individually
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 😄
can someone tell me why the bioshock fanbase fucking LOATHES 2 and infinite
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 😮
Also some other games that aren't my thing:
https://gematsu.com/2018/08/thq-nordic-bringing-recore-definitive-edition-super-luckys-tale-and-other-microsoft-titles-to-steam
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
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
Hmmm
I got it for free with Game Pass and still deleted it after a couple hours, it's 😴
Anyone looking forward to Biomutant?
Yes!
I have no idea what it’s about but the gameplay bits I’ve seen look like my kinda game
I hope they refine the combat, the last gameplay I watched was pretty meh
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
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
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
The game's friggin huge, lol
That’s a part of some people’s concern and rightly so bigger is not always better
You can be a space pirate 😍
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 😊
Plus the the universe and lore are great, it's gonna have plenty of stuff about the fucked up ways hybrids are treated
Maybe a borderlands 3 at some point maybe?
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.
So then what is it that has you excited 😆
Like no joke, Starfield is probably the only thing I'm interested in from Bethesda for the foreseeable future
Fist of the North Star is a lil niche though it does take from the yakuza tittles
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
Hmm some games I’m out of the loop ooo dreams that’s an interesting one
Outer Wilds looks super interesting
Media molecules new brain child
I really am just curious about wtf is going on with Dreams, lol
That game's been in dev for so long now
We want a beta give us a beta!
Anthem has me super skeptical, they have not done a great job talking it up
The devs are pretty cool in the Discord
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
The 20 minute Anthem gameplay video is 👌
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
Did you not watch the 20 minute gameplay? Cuz it showed what the game will basically be like
😂
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!!
Large boi
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
-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
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 =/
has anyone here played links awakening
A little, yeah
for a gameboy game, its really fucking good
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
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
i think i probably love Nintendo's developers and can't stand their business & legal departments/teams
Nintendo knows how to make some fuckin games i'll tell you, but they have no goddamn idea how to run a business
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
to simplify what i meant, they've made some pretty fuckin weird decisions lol
yeah, that's for sure
"let's make another console!" "what will we call it? wii 2?" "no, no, Wii U!" "aaah, brilliant!"
@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
did they respond? lol
They actually wrote back and gave me a hint, without directly giving me the answer
It was so awesome
thats really cool
didn't Nintendo had a hotline in somepoint
Yes
yeah
that was pretty bonkers
dude thats sick they responded
did you keep the letter back 😮
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
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
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
man that's some dedication
is good game👍
it is, it really is
oh my god that's a lot of hours in doom
just wish I have friends to play with so I can obliterate em in mp
oh wait the mp is not that great
Doom eternal looks fuckin crazy, but the possibility of metroid prime and animal crossing next year are much more prominent
to me at least
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
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 ☺️🤩🤯
Yooo @vague trench dat's me. I'm very miffed at Eternal's absence of SnapMap & questionable possibilities of modding support
I thought, in most situations, "If it exists, you can mod it" was true?
yeah, kinda.
it's just a bit more work depending on the nature of the game when without mod tools/sdk stuff
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
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.
True sometimes it’s just how the game is created and currently works that can cause mod support to be an issue
