The difference between what you said and what the metacritic overview states is how pessimistic the latter is and makes it sound like everyone is going to hate it
#other-games
winter yew
bronze wind
Yeah for sure
I kinda just form my own opinions
Reviews tend to lean hard one way or the other most of the time in my experience
winter yew
Also there’s no real protection over metacritic anyway. I don’t think the site can tell if you’ve even played the game
And even in sites like Steam people troll for “funny reviews,” even if they do like it. Man, people suck, etc
winter yew
People really like to hate on new things most of the time it's to stand out.
I’ve seen people IRL do the same thing. It’s very annoying and very obvious
Mhm
Mostly their arguments fall out when you question them at all about what they pretend they’re speaking of
bronze wind
It's both sides though, some people refuse to see flaws in something because they believe it's perfect
winter yew
There are a minority that do have an actual reason to dislike a new good game
I agree zoid
My consensus over RDR2 is still WIP right now but I’ve played enough to say that it’s cool and a good open world that is definitely a slow burn in terms of its pace and action-y bits. Rockstar have different series for a reason, I guess
I've seen gameplay and it looks absolutely breathtaking
I want to buy it but probably on sale
I really hope they make Bully 2 after this
Yessss
Bully 2
Please Rockstar
bronze wind
For me it all looked cool but actually playing it was different
The realism sounds nice but I can't say I like things like that so it made it a slog
But that's me
Some really like the realism
But it almost feels selective
winter yew
Yeah I think rockstar’s intention with that is to have that prospect separate RD from their other works. Valid point, though. The game is pretty hell-bent on stuff like that.
bronze wind
Like in that Reddit post I think there was a comment about how you can shoot a dude with a rifle, but because it hit his chest he keeps running at you.
Which is fine, whatever, but if you're focusing on realism I'd prefer it to span across the game more
winter yew
My horse shits all the time by the way
bronze wind
😩
bronze wind
Wet poop
winter yew
Also I can confirm I checked for horse testicular animation, but by that point I had a female and didn’t realize it until then
So that experiment is gonna have to wait
Horse balls in RDR2?
Can you kill the horse and take off the balls?
And wear them
On your hat
?
austere lance
I can confirm horses have balls, I didn't get a male horse til I got to the first town tho so I can't confirm the shrinking thing
winter yew
Wait what
austere lance
Running people over with your horse can get disturbingly realistic
winter yew
Oh dear
austere lance
They get trampled and scream
The first-person in this game is waaaaay better than the first-person in GTA
I love all the people that were hyped because of the game's realism but are now REEEEEE-ing over it
"Why do I have to do an animation to loot stuff, why can't I just swipe my hand over their body like Assassins Creed?"
-An actual comment I saw on that Reddit thread
winter yew
It feels like selective realism
I like it
I want to play it
Pls come to pc one day
Probably won't
But I can dream
austere lance
They were expecting GTA: Cowboy Edition and are crying cuz the game has physics and shit, smh
austere lance
@winter yew
^ dude complaining about having to hold down a button for 3 seconds to pick up an item
brisk merlin
Lmao
bronze wind
Lol soul I never hyped up the realism
winter yew
Well imo at least
bronze wind
So hope you aren't talking about me
And invalidating complaints because you don't like them isn't fair
Damn I'm so glad horses have balls though!
Also when there's a spot with more than like 3 items it's annoying to pick all of that up
Hold a button for a second so a 3 second animation can play, not too bad, but when there are a bunch of items it's just tedious
austere lance
@bronze wind Wasn't talking about you, lol. Just that whole thread in general
You are Zoidberg and therefore 5000x better than them
bronze wind
I mean I agree with them. Maybe not in the way they put it, but it is annoying. I don't think it makes the game bad though, just a major reason i knew it wasn't for me.
austere lance
The hold down button thing has been in games for over a decade
bronze wind
Holding down is fine
It's the animation for every single item
It's not a massive issue, just a minor thing
I would've put up with it if it didn't look bad on xbone s
Plus money
austere lance
To be fair, they don't stick an ungodly amount of items into rooms for you to pick up. Usually one per drawer
bronze wind
I mean yeah, it's not like I'm looting a big warehouse. But it's just a thing I don't personally like. Like, it bothered me a little bit when I noticed, so I know it would bother me more later. I tend to blast through things though so it's more about me just being impatient for smaller things.
I saw someone with the idea to add an arcade mode or something, where all that stuff is skippable or just cancels the animations. That is a bit much but I know it's hard to find a middle ground.
austere lance
I was expecting the game to be pretty slow, it's an Old West game full of realistic physics. Rockstar will probably update the game with skip buttons or something tho, I doubt this is the final build for the game. When I started it up I noticed it had a build number in the bottom right corner
They're not dumb, they're seeing all the complaints and they'll want to continue selling copies
bronze wind
Yeah lots of games do the build number thing. And I doubt it'd be the final version either. I'll likely wait for PC release if that happens and just reassess it at that point
And honestly if I wasn't in a shitty financial situation right now with school I'd probably just suck it up and keep it lol
austere lance
Seems fair
austere lance
Lol. I know you can get munched by a croc, doubt you can ride one 😄
winter yew
Do Crocs have balls too
jagged mortar
^ they are reptiles not mammals lmao
winter yew
Fuck
jagged mortar
a bear?
austere lance
Every male animal that should have them does, as far as I know
I've only checked my horse, lol
jagged mortar
oh comon
winter yew
Wait can I shoot the bear in his balls
jagged mortar
ffs i am so tempted to buy a console to play that game
austere lance
You can shoot people in theirs
winter yew
OH
austere lance
Don't buy a console for one game, smh
winter yew
Shooting people in the balls in sniper elite was so satisfying
jagged mortar
but does the ball fly off from pants?
austere lance
No, lol
winter yew
Awww
winter yew
Not enough horse balls 0/10
cinder vessel
tbh i've been reading a bunch of complaints about how the duration of the animations have bummed people out.
kind of reminds me of a Max Payne 3 video i watched, where Rockstar did similar with the animations there. press button, loooong windup as the animation plays, then finally ends in desired action.
austere lance
Once you upgrade your Dead Eye it'll highlight weak organs on people, the 🍆 is one of said areas 😄
austere lance
"long"
jagged mortar
DAMNN
austere lance
Holding down a button to pick stuff up has been in games for over a decade, lol
It's like 2 seconds
cinder vessel
long enough that some have thought the inputs unresponsive from what i've read/listened to
jagged mortar
now the real question is
winter yew
Maybe the game is 60 hours long due to the long animations 
austere lance
It gives you a little circle to show how much longer you have to hold the button, lol
jagged mortar
are there UFO in the game?
cinder vessel
S0ul ya not listening, it's not the duration of the button press, but the subsequent animation
bronze wind
It's beyond pressing the button
Couldn't care less about holding a button
nms does that
It's the animation that plays after
jagged mortar
what they shold have done is
winter yew
I can see how people will be annoyed with that
bronze wind
Monky
austere lance
Idk, I haven't noticed the animation taking very long
jagged mortar
start playing animations as soon as button is hold down
cinder vessel
Probably yeah, Chaos
bronze wind
Maybe halfway through
jagged mortar
i know some games did that
cinder vessel
other games have done that and it can look odd, but it's an okay compromise
jagged mortar
nah looks fine as long as you dont release the button midway lol
austere lance
The animation thing sounds bad when it's described but when you're playing it you don't really notice unless you're hyper-focusing on it
winter yew
Yeah but it does seem to get a bit tedious
austere lance
It just feels right. Idk how to explain it but it just feels natural when you do it
jagged mortar
the rdr 2 online beta
bronze wind
I played the game lol
winter yew
I am completely fine with it, but I do see myself getting a bit annoyed when I'm in a hurry
austere lance
I'm 5 hours into the game and haven't once thought it was tedious. I thought it was pretty cool
jagged mortar
like is it closed beta or open beta?
winter yew
The game released
jagged mortar
cant wait to fly around in my mk2 horse with explosive cannons in online lmao
winter yew
austere lance
I think you have to have the game to do the beta
jade lake
the online isnt out yet dawg
jagged mortar
aight
winter yew
Ohh online
jagged mortar
they added some wayyyy whacky stuff in gta online
austere lance
Online is gonna be waaaaaaay slower and more relaxed than GTA. The map is huge and there aren't dumb tanks and shit
jagged mortar
wonder what they will do with this one
cinder vessel
Dog Online, where everyone is just the bestest puppers
austere lance
They're making this game's online less stupid and more personal
jade lake
hopefully
jagged mortar
oh we'll see about that 
jade lake
RDR1s online was fucking great when it actually worked
austere lance
They already said so 🤷
cinder vessel
what they try to do and what results can differ tho
jagged mortar
idc either way tho as loong as no loot boxes
austere lance
It's gonna have the same gameplay and map as the singleplayer, which already makes it less crazy
Since they said it's more personal I wouldn't be surprised if they kept the horse permadeath around too
People are gonna try the online and be severely disappointed when it isn't GTA Wild West (just like the singleplayer, lol)
jade lake
ive been fucking around in valentine for 3 hours
jagged mortar
even if its bad
jade lake
theres a lot to do
jagged mortar
SP content is more than enough for its price
like if they put in lootboxes in online ill just play SP content
austere lance
@jade lake fuckin same
The area around Valentine will keep me occupied for hours, I can't even imagine what the big cities will be like
jade lake
im not sure where i continue the story, im guessing its the yellow highlighted circles back at camp
austere lance
Yep
Those teach you stuff and give you more weapons. And one of the missions is a good money boost, lol
jade lake
every house seems as though it is enterable
it sometimes feels as if you're playing a tarantino movie
the intro especially
winter yew
Loving the game too
The banter between the characters had me laughing at one point in the third story mission
Something going wrong and one of the others is like ‘You done screwed up!!’
Or I took too long to answer one of the guys when he asked me if he should move ahead or let me take lead
So he’s like ‘fine I’ll go ahead then’
jade lake
hearing johns voice again was great
winter yew
jade lake
didnt expect all the gore from rdr2
when I headshotted someone half of their head was gone, kinda reminds me of the gore in fallout
brisk merlin
except its good
austere lance
@jade lake Right???
teal mason
gore in fallout
bloody mess flashback
have you ever tried exploding someone's head and then using resurrect on em
winter yew
Lmao
modern seal
winter yew
Metro 2033 was free two days ago and I can see why
The game can't even launch properly
Crashes at the 4A screen
I didn't even pay for it and I still feel ripped off
If someone has a fix please tell me because google won't help me
willow crypt
Great game ^
jade lake
when it works ^^

You're better off with the Redux versions, lol

Do I need to the game opened to install GTA V on PS4? A friend is pestering me about playing GTAO
- to keep
winter yew
I don’t think so?
austere lance
bronze wind
👀
empty crag
What is that game?
bronze wind
Not really sure
cinder vessel
Outward, set for release 12th of Feb. next year
empty crag
So yeah. ED is having an update this week, incorporating generated events.
And more. Though I don't know the "more"
bronze wind
Yeah I read a bit about the stream recap
empty crag
But really, if I want to play ED, I need to have like 6 hours of free time to enjoy fully
(if you have access to your own HOTAS whenever you want, then that's a big plus. Unless you like the controller or mouse)
austere lance
This, um, questionable hilt is in For Honor now, my friend showed me a pic of it and didn't understand why I died laughing 😂
cinder vessel
?
austere lance
I told him it looks like he bought it off the Bad Dragon website 😂
cinder vessel
Ah, thought that's what you might be getting at, tad too narrow tho, no?
limber harness
@austere lance but how do you know about that website 
austere lance
😉
austere lance
RDR 2 is ridiculously huge, I've played for 14 hours and I'm only 26% of the way through the story
cinder vessel
rude, it deserves some sleep too
idle saffron
Go take a bath
Stinky cowboy
I followed a treasure map
To another map
Which led me to another map
Which finally led to GOLD
cinder vessel
a shame nobody accepts gold
idle saffron
Fences do
cinder vessel
that's the real reason cows go for the grass on the other side of them
idle saffron
That’s right
winter yew
yeah RDR2 is insane
the random encounters are by far the best I've experienced
and it has surpassed my previous graphical benchmark game*, the witcher 3, by some margin
*of comparable size
topaz wedge
@austere lance yeah, ridiculous huge and slow paced in a good sense, it's one of the few game that you can get sidetracked easily by secondary missions, I think I have spent more than 3 hours just wandering in the camping
winter yew
@teal mason I've only heard mediocre things about that game, in particular the combat being terrible and given it's a core mechanic of the game...
how is benchmarking a console pointless? Please for fuck sake don't go PC master race because honestly, I don't have the patience for that these days
teal mason
terrible combat you heard wrong
Also the point of benchmarking is for an individual to know their machine's unique and specifc strong and weak aspects. When you have a machine that is specifically designed and manufactured to be standardized you'd have known its capabilities already and shouldn't need to be benchmarked, unless the manufacturer is incompetent that it can't make product that has a consistent quality
winter yew
I think you misinterpreted my use of benchmark.
I didn't mean it in such case as: I'm using it to benchmark performance.
I mean it in so far as: a game I consider to be the best looking and thereby; how I compare other games of a similar nature.
And The Witcher 3, for me anyway, was easily and remains to be one of the best looking games of this generation
teal mason
But srsly the combat in KC:D is great, it's probably just the literal skill curve that people were not playing enough to find out
People complaining about the archery in the game always make me laugh cos they've clearly not raised their skill enough to make their ingame hands stable
winter yew
I'll consider your point but I'm in no rush to try it just yet
Have heard good things about the story
And of course deep silver are a reputable brand Dev
teal mason
Deep Silver is only publishing it
winter yew
it appears I am more misinformed than I thought 
teal mason
Dev studio's called Warhorse
winter yew
unfortunately for every other game; bloodborne has ruined everything
I will never find a combat system as satisfying
despite those fucked up hitboxes
teal mason
Lol, I can't compare em
winter yew
but seriously
teal mason
But if you liked mount and blade you'll like the combat in KC:D
Basically that bjt improved
winter yew
the Rockstar gaming engine is beyond anything I have ever seen
the lighting is nothing short of phenomenal
topaz wedge
I'll just say that combat feels more sluggish, but much more realistic than GTA 5
Feels more human to shot someone
winter yew
yeah the gunplay is good, the aiming is a little, off? if you know what I mean
the movement is the worst part
feels like I'm controlling a bag of wet sand
topaz wedge
Arthur is not just a plastic character that can headshot regardless of the situation, you can feel each move that Arthur does, although it's slow, it's humane like I said.
This makes you put a lot of effort to deal with the enemies
winter yew
yeah take some time to get used too
topaz wedge
Getting ambushed by rival gangs is one of my worst experiences so far
winter yew
I lost my horse that way
just got that fucker to max bonding
$250 horse with max bond
gone
topaz wedge
damn
winter yew
The horse controls are too clunky I spent half the of the time doing a 360 spin trying to draw my rifle
topaz wedge
yup, it's already hard to aim while on foot, think about aiming while riding your horse, 5x times harder
winter yew
stick input doesnt translate exactly to what you need in game I think
from my experience so far
I did enjoy my first time being kicked to death by a bandits horse, was so funny
topaz wedge
you tried to steal it?
topaz wedge
hahaha
winter yew
successfully looted the first horse
tried to loot the second one and BBOOM
this game is so good
with its details
and the random encounters out in the wilds are so damn good
topaz wedge
yeah, RDR2 is the first game that I played where you can see random birds flying away from trees and plants
On that moment I just wow'ed
It's also the first game where you can judge the climate you're from looking at your horse's sack ROFL
winter yew
the details are just ridiculous
watching the snow melt on my coat and consequentially leave it damp
the horse physics are a little over the top
but 500,000 lines of dialogue
everything just feels so real
topaz wedge
side quests as well, they aren't just a way to fill the gaps
like I said before, you can get sidetracked quickly
because side quests are interesting and most of time funny to watch
winter yew
I think I have about 15 hours in the game
done maybe 1 or 2 main missions
I just love exploring
and finding all this random shit
topaz wedge
Yeah, the player is actually recommended to go with the slow pacing
Whoever thinks on finishing this game quickly will be in for a hellish time
winter yew
even the story is pegged at 60 hours
so who knows how long seeing everything will take
I played the witcher 3 on new game plus twice, so 3 times in total, and still found new stuff the 3rd time around
if RDR2 is anything like that then shieeeeet sonnn
topaz wedge
and there's RDR Online yet to be revealed
winter yew
that could go either way
because honestly without passive mode on GTAV that was cancer 😂
hilarious
but cancer nonetheless
and i dont wanna lose my favorite horse to some douchbag 
topaz wedge
Me neither, they supposedly have learned something from GTAO, let's hope for it
winter yew
we shall see
still have to fully explore the world yet
need to get some cold gear stashed on my horse for exploring the grizzlies
rigid haven
Yeah
winter yew
Releases this Friday.
winter yew
diablo is love
grave elbow
man RDR2 is probably the best game ive played in the last 3 years
I found a cool cliff that i sat on for like 30 straight minutes just admiring the view while cooking meat at my campfire, so much immersion
teal mason
I kinda wish Return of the Obra Dinn released later so it wouldn't clash with RDR3
cos it's a phenomenal game with a masterfully crafted progression
iron inlet
I mean technically it is RDR3
RDR was Read Dead Revolver
RDR2 would be Red Dead Redemption
and RDR3 would be Red Dead Redemption 2
iron inlet
heh
austere lance
I kinda want to play Revolver again, lol
teal mason
what makes less sense the how R* decides to shoehorn the new RDR to be called "Redemption 2", just because RDR2 was popular
austere lance
It says Red Dead Redemption 2 on my Xbox, lol
teal mason
if they sticked with the actually interesting naming scheme there wouldn't be a conundrum
teal mason
which, what, made it make negative sense?
austere lance
They could call it "Angry Asshole Lives Through A Tarantino Movie," I still love it 😂
teal mason
man, this shitty numbering/ naming scheme reminds me of Zombi
austere lance
@jade lake I might be 16+ hours in, lol
jade lake
im still in chapter 2 lol
pretty sure im near the end tho
prepping for the train heist
austere lance
Idk what chapter I'm on
cinder vessel
oh yeah, so this is pretty eeehhh:
https://blog.us.playstation.com/2018/10/29/announcing-playstation-classics-full-lineup-of-20-games/
topaz wedge
Yeah, not worth getting.
No CTR ugh
I can't believe they left Crash Team Racing out
cinder vessel
it further cements the take that PlayStation would better support old fans by providing robust backwards compatibility instead of quick cash-grab attempts like this
topaz wedge
I expect PS5 to be backward compatible with PS4
There's no CPU arch excuse this time
jade lake
that PSX classic is such a fucking joke
MGS1 and FFVII are some of my favorite games of all time, but then you throw in an insane amount of filler dogshit and slap a 99$ pricetag on it?
dont mention resi1 the original has aged like shit, the remake is miles better
they couldnt even get SoTN
jade lake
croc 2 babee
austere lance
@jade lake I need my Bolt Action Rifle, dammit!
jade lake
when do you get it
austere lance
Idk, I'm assuming you get it from a mission or from a homestead robbery. That's where I got the Double Action Revolver
austere lance
Keep doing the story, Sean will take you to rob a homestead. It's in a lockbox in the house
jade lake
aight
austere lance
It does less damage than the Schofield but shoots hella faster cuz double action 💪
austere lance
If you slap a longer barrel and better rifling on it it'll be 👌
Especially if you dual-wield like me
jade lake
dual wielding is only good depending on what you're using
austere lance
It's beautiful with Schofields
Just gotta remember to let the aiming reticule shrink for maximum accuracy
winter yew
I've been too distracted by hunting animals in RDR2
the foxes are the worst to try to hunt
austere lance
Lol
winter yew
they are so evasive
yipping and screaming the whole time and you can't figure out where the hell they are until you see that tail go over the edge of the nearby hill
then they are long fucking gone
austere lance
I just shoot whatever I find near the road while I'm riding around, so pretty much anything
winter yew
i tracked one running the train tracks before i gave up
I can't remember where I was running around earlier but suddenly my horse starts freaking out and next thing I know is I hear ROAAAAAR and it's a fucking bear..
I turned around and tried to go the other way, ROAAAARR, another fucking bear
tried to escape from that, look behind me and it's running full sprint at me while i'm trying to get away on my horse through some trees
so I say fuck it and hop off the horse and take down this bear
austere lance
LOL
winter yew
then on my way back to the butcher some assholes try to rob me
austere lance
Oof
winter yew
like hell naw fuck that
didn't even give them the time of dayu
Just Dead Eye all three of the fuckers in the head
austere lance
Best tactic
winter yew
I had another instance where I was brutally attacked on a road, these dudes hopped out from behind some brush with a stagecoach and blocked me in on both sides
'YEAH WE GOT DUTCH'S DOG' or something like that
I'm definitely loving that nowhere is as safe as it seems to be
Ran up on a guy camping in a random bunch of trees and he starts in on me 'Does this look like a camp site to you?' and he gets all angry and threatens to shoot me
jade lake
i shotgunned a cougar out of fear, then realized i should have used my bow
winter yew
oh damn
I haven't met the cougars yet
I accidentally found some gators
but they were boring
just popping up in the pond i found them in
i was expecting them to attack me or something
got me some gator skin and made some good money off that
jade lake
i still havent found the swampy area yet
winter yew
🤔
jade lake
isnt that where the gators are?
winter yew
I think so
The one I found looked like it was just outside of a town or something though
austere lance
Yee
I like the swamp area
The good town there doesn't have a friggin hotel tho
I mostly do stuff around there
winter yew
I wish I could remember where it was
but it was like a pond
and there was also snakes in it too
austere lance
I found a random nice black lady with a busted leg whose horse had died, saved her and brought her to her little swamp town cuz I'm a good boi 😇
There's fuckin huge turtles in the swamp area btw
winter yew
nice
austere lance
Like, I have the big War Horse and those things looked large when I rode by them
winter yew
how do you redeem the War Horse?
I mean, I put the code in my PSN account
but where do I go in-game to get it?
austere lance
If you kill dudes by the water in the swamp a friggin gator will probably pop out and drag bodies away
@winter yew The tutorial stable in Valentine has it, it's called Ardennes
jade lake
what if we didnt redeem it until after the whole valentine incident
austere lance
Hosea takes you there during an early mission @winter yew
winter yew
I know the stable 😛
austere lance
And there's a free horse called Ardennes there
winter yew
I just wasn't sure about the War Horse x)
austere lance
@jade lake The Valentine thing's wanted bounty isn't that high, you can pay it off easily
Then I'd assume the horse is at the stable there
winter yew
ah okay then
austere lance
Apparently treasure hunts pay out like $2k btw
Not that you really need money for much, it's kinda weird. Just upgrade Dutch's tent and then get the map table for Arthur's, those are the most important/expensive things
jade lake
i upgraded dutch's tent recently, probably gonna go buy arthurs upgrade
austere lance
My friend told me he got an ass-load of money from robbing a bank, I was like "You did WHAT???"
This bastard has like $6k cuz he's been living the outlaw life and robbing banks, trains, and shops
Meanwhile, I've been playing with high Honor and have like $300 😄😭
It's Fable all over again
jade lake
its morally right, but doesnt pay for shit lol\
austere lance
I've established that fishing is the one activity in the game that makes me wanna die of boredom, lol
winter yew
🤔
I was wondering if I could rob trains
seeing how they are pretty much always on the rails
austere lance
You can, lol. You gotta play it smart if you don't want a massive bounty on your head though
I recommend stealthily taking out the conductor, stopping the train on a large bridge, then robbing everyone blind
cinder vessel
Hmm:
https://comicbook.com/gaming/2018/10/29/spyro-the-dragon-reignited-trilogy-retail-downloads-updated/
When Reignited Trilogy drops, the full original Spyro the Dragon game will still be on the disc, along with “some” of Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage and Spyro: Year of the Dragon. However, a partial download will still be required to get the rest of the games.
austere lance
I'm just getting the trilogy digitally 🤷
topaz wedge
My gosh, I just shoot a deer but didn't manage to kill it immediately, think about the guilt I felt because it keept moaning and struggling to live.
austere lance
Oof, did you walk up to it and do the button prompt?
topaz wedge
Yeah, I took the knife and ended its misery
topaz wedge
Damn right it was
topaz wedge
This makes us think about aiming accurately the next time, because I surely will put more effort before shooting the next time.
austere lance
If you're hunting deer use Dead Eye and your bow for a headshot
winter yew
@cinder vessel sounds like what they did with Sly Cooper Collection
In regard to the Spyro post
Where the physical card only had the first two games on it and you had to download the third game via a download code
At least I think that’s how it went
cinder vessel
huh, didn't realize it was divvied up like that
winter yew
I got the digital version of the game so I don’t have that issue
That was for the psvita version of the game though
Not sure if that applied to the ps3 version
cinder vessel
wouldn't think so, but hard to say
winter yew
But yeah even Ratchet And Clank was kinda similar in that manner
cinder vessel
because they were just a rerelease & remaster, yeah?
winter yew
Yeah
cinder vessel
not a full on remake, like Spyro & Crash have been
cinder vessel
so would think they'd be a tad smaller in size
winter yew
I hope I have enough space for them
cinder vessel
i'd make room, lol
cinder vessel
thing that bums me out a bit is that i prefer a disc to avoid dealing with internet inconsistency
but with that approach with Spyro it's like, what's even the point exactly
what's weird to me is they avoided it with Crash...But then, it was more compact in its level designs
and if memory serves enemy variety was also a bit lower
oh fuck, fuck fuck fuck i started remembering Spyro 1 and good vibes comin' back
i hope the soundtrack's still intact
yesss it is:

@cinder vessel You don't need internet to play digital games, I set my Xbox to offline mode when I had terrible internet for a month so I could play stuff without my profile logging out cuz of internet connection 😄

yes I will
wait what the fuck

Hey would y'all mind helping me with a little dilemma? I bought a copy of The Witcher 3 - Wild Hunt today because it's supposed to be one of the best video games ever made, but I have a copy of the previous two games in my library, I just haven't played them. Is it alright for me to jump into the third game and play the first two later, or should I play the games chronologically so I am up to date on the lore and story when I play the third game? https://www.strawpoll.me/16746571
bronze wind
I played without playing the previous 2 and it was still enjoyable
Although that may not make me the best source since I can't really say much about the previous
jade lake
i only played W3 and i still enjoyed the hell out of it
i was worried about that for a while too, but i got over it pretty quick, i attempted to play the first one. its aged quite terribly tho
light cairn
yeah, the original is definitely not the same

If anyone plays RuneScape, the mobile client finally released: http://services.runescape.com/m=news/global-launch-of-old-school-mobile?oldschool=1

I probably would if I had a smartphone tbh.

They promised it in Winter 2017, but it took them until now to do it.
winter yew
Dang

Meanwhile, Rs3 only has 30k or so.

Do you have to pay a subscription for Runescape mobile?
austere lance
I've never played Runescape, I'm interested in the mobile version tho

@austere lance wha? i was talking about needing internet to complete installations/downloads of games earlier, despite having picked up disc copies to minimize that need
this new trend of basically shoving increasingly flaky versions to disc is just immensely wasteful and foolish.
Not that that may be the case with Spyro Reignited, but shoving incomplete versions to disc certainly isn't at all better
print another disc if you have to ffs, not ideal but RDR2 went with it
light cairn
i'm fine enough with day one patches for bugs and stuff, old games didn't have the benefit of being able to to that. however
the fact that you literally won't even be able to play all the games from start to finish with just the disc is messed up
cinder vessel
my concern with day one patches is that they're allowing careless companies to print shit to disc and hope they have a day one patch ready to cover that up
Recent Tony Hawk game says hello, lol
light cairn
i still can't believe they did that
the whole thing was a money grab anyways but still
cinder vessel
except that was such a trash heap even the day one patch wasn't enough
light cairn
yeah
cinder vessel
anywho, i'm out for a bit now, later!

Just realized that fromsoft vr game deracine comes out in like a week
I don't have vr tho 😩

OOF

truly the best feature

how to promote your game, let it download, then turn every button on the launcher to uninstall
nothing can go wrong
nothing
light cairn

jade lake
i think the game is trying to tell you something
jade lake
this is VERY VERY interesting
not saying undertale 2 necessarily, but i mean i wouldnt be against it
keep an eye out
cinder vessel
hope it's genuinely something new
better that way than to get flak for it not matching its predecessor
jade lake
if its a successor that does something new i will be very satisfied
or it could just be like 2 new hours of gameplay and kinda lame
cinder vessel
thinking on it some more tho, they're kinda screwed thanks to the Undertale fanbase being troublesome
jade lake
thats the problem sadly
i still hold it high regard as a great game, but the fanbase is just so ewwww
cinder vessel
on a different note, this is kind of wild:
https://youtu.be/NSS4winolgc?t=50
🤦 that image, lol
jade lake
what the
cinder vessel
it's the last part of the title that matters most, lol
bronze wind
Gonna avoid the comments
cinder vessel
wise choice
they're not as bad as more popular vids with NMS mentioned, but there's a few blergh ones
bronze wind
I scrolled down looking at related vids and only saw the top one
That's all I need to see
cinder vessel
mmhmm
The channel's really cool overall, lots of videos of old prototypes and some background on some old games' development (such as Haven)
I forget the guy's name, but they were one of the devs from Traveller's Tales for some time
winter yew
Is that Ratchet and Clank? lol jk
light cairn
his videos have always been pretty interesting but he fell into the clickbaity stuff really fast unfortunately
cinder vessel
the content itself is still pretty solid, but the thumbnails & titles, yeah
light cairn
'xactly
winter yew
The comment section is shit
teal mason
a large part of YouTube is shit in general
winter yew
Agreed
topaz wedge
The hell I though it was Ratchet and Clank for a moment
winter yew
The movement and shooting is remarkably similar

That is very impressive

I assume that everyone's having a swell time with the Deltarune game?

Obviously

No spoilers for 24 hours

so... is this undertale 2?
bronze wind
no u

Anyone know how to install PT on my ps4?
jade lake
wow holy heck this is undertale 2
the intro music is literally ripped from giygas theme in earthbound, which is more of a hellish satanic ritual than a "theme"
winter yew
Wow the intro music really is fantastic.

24 hour info embargo! Repect it!

My yt channel is releasing the first episode of our undertale playthrough today

Cool

the new battle theme is honestly pretty sick

I honestly have no idea what you guys are playing.
winter yew
Ah

Sounds as if it's not done though.
bronze wind
"spoiling"
"There is new music"
😩
winter yew
Sounds about normal for games now days

@bronze wind info embargo!!!

Yikes lol

That's kind of a scary issue

I can't wait for this. 😩

Ubisoft
winter yew
'Target render gameplay' is more an excuse i bet, This project was canceled, and they fucked up. Can't be otherwise.
Ubisoft lied more then once about their game's.
I lost faith in Assassin's Creed to be honest
Well, they still can remake it for PS4
winter yew
Beside the poor production finish and shipment of Watch Dogs, Aiden Pearce was a good character for the series
topaz wedge
About that, I agree
And the history was interesting as well, I didn't expected someone close to you die (oh, spoiled)

Delta Rune, Medieval, Assasin's Creed III, Watch Dogs, NMS PS2 prototype

@echo hill https://youtu.be/NSS4winolgc?t=50
winter yew
woah
why did i watch that
So the game I wanted to exist when I was younger did exist and they ruined it.
topaz wedge
Hexa, yeah, somehow it became Ratchet and Clank ;D
winter yew
I've not even heard of it but I have downloaded an ISO and gunna play it.
But the prototype does look much better than the end game.
echo hill
oh i love ratchet and clank
austere lance
This game's long af, lol

About no one is playing that online so...
I wouldn't be surprised if they announced a server shutdown
(and yeah i got your sarcasm)
austere lance
Tfw you're 25.5 hours into RDR 2 and you're only 41% of the way through the story
cinder vessel
any of ya happen to hear about Death Mark? Been seeing emails from Aksys about it but haven't looked into it past that yet
winter yew
@austere lance I’m constantly getting distracted by side stuff. It’s Skyrim all over again lmao
austere lance
It's even worse cuz it's so realistic 😄

hrrm, Deracine will require PS Move controller use

I crashed into a tree on RDR2 and fell off my horse
The horse got up as Arthur was still on the floor
The horse took a dump on Arthur

Wtf did they get rid of follow road for?

I also have it more often than not when I hog tie and NPC then cut them free

guys ps3 emulator when
jade lake
im pretty sure it exists

time to play inFamous
bronze wind
I played both
Quite good
Second one lets you use weapons and stuff, which is cool
Like melee
winter yew
first light wasn't as good
winter yew
Second son was my reason for a PS4.
iron inlet
I played about an hour of second son at a friends house
bronze wind
I got second son and bloodbourne with my ps4. But I bought the ps4 for NMS

and I remember I nearly creamed because of the framerate
and now that's like, the standard framerate

direct is lame

Wasn't Nintendo against DLCs?

Pirahna plant was just announced

That's hilarious

I am maining him
winter yew
😐
iron inlet
Nintendo are fucking this up royally
DLC Fighters & Maps and a Pre-order Bonus Fighter
get out of here
iron inlet
also you only start the game with 8 characters
winter yew
smash has dlc characters?
iron inlet
yep
topaz wedge
That's what you learn when you deal with mobile games
iron inlet
5 DLC characters
1 Pre-order bonus character
and then uh
6+8 is 14, 75 total, 61 unlockable characters
so you start with 8
you can unlock 61
and then you can buy 6 more
idle saffron
Numbers
topaz wedge
Maths
iron inlet
you start with shit tier fighters too tbh

Of course

well that was underwhelming

Wth is Cloud doing there?! Nintendo doesn't even had FF VII
iron inlet
That was both underwhelming and frankly, unhyped me

I'm really heavily against the DLC characters
and pre-order bonus
it's a fuckin Nintendo game smh
winter yew
Also still no Waluigi?
winter yew
man that is bs
winter yew
I don't have a Switch either
still haven't really had any games out for it that make me wanna get one
iron inlet
me neither
winter yew
We'll see how Metroid 4 looks
iron inlet
I honestly doubt I'll ever buy a switch
the only scenario where I buy the Switch is if I get a job that requires a shit ton of plane travel
winter yew
I have my 3DS for that lol
ACTUALLY I TAKE THAT BACK.
Animal Crossing might sell me
but diablo 3 for switch guys
winter yew
I never got into Diablo
I played a bit of 2 because a friend of mine wanted me to but I just didn't enjoy it
I've seen gameplay
It looks fun
I know people that looooooooooved it
Hmm
I don't hate it though 😉
It's just not my type of game
Everyone has their own taste 😛
yip 😄
here's pretty much all the games i have on my phone at the moment >.>
hahahaha even /r/smashbros is hating.

i didn’t dislike the direct, but it was rather underwhelming
