Eyy
cinder vessel
Thanks to the patch with the audio
cinder vessel
I guess maybe one quoteworthy line would be his asshole dad calling Dane a fucked up kid or somethin'
teal mason
Artsy stuff are all either incredibly smart or incredibly dumb
cinder vessel
Well guess what Dane's dad, when you blame your kid for your wife getting killed & beat him, of course that's going to be a fucked up kid
teal mason
If it ain't, it ain't artsy
jade lake
the hateraid for fo76 is insane
cinder vessel
it is pretty surprising
I was pretty sure Bethesda was almost at a can do no wrong status
At least for some folks
cinder vessel
what were they even thinking using the same rickety engine
iron inlet
I 100% understand the FO76 hate
light cairn
did someone say DARK SOULS
austere lance
Idk, but as of right now it's possible to boot people from your game, enable God Mode, force people to use all their consumables at once, give yourself xp, and a bunch of other shit 😄 @cinder vessel
And give yourself items
jade lake
idk I’m an easy man to please when it comes to fallout, and 76 looks pretty good in that sense
Give me a good soundtrack, loot, and things to kill
and it seems to check all those boxes
light cairn
the only thing that's gonna kill you are hackers 😎
jade lake
ik that’s why im not gonna buy it at launch, better to wait until shit ACTUALLY gets sorted out
light cairn
good thinkin'
austere lance
Yeah, being able to give yourself items means you can give yourself nuke codes
light cairn
you're play dark souls too?
jade lake
doing my first playthrough on switch ye
light cairn
noice
light cairn
yes
iron inlet
place is rough, super unforgiving
honestly maybe the most difficult area
I'd argue Anor Londo is easier even
light cairn
i'd argue lost izalith is harder because it's like only half done
iron inlet
But Lost Izalith is like
you can skip it all
like, I didn't engage a single Bounding Demon
austere lance
Blighttown on the original release of the game 🤢
light cairn
sen's fortress is definitely the first gear check in the game
austere lance
Damn
light cairn
not performance wise though
iron inlet
I got cucked for like 4 straight hours straight after Gaping Dragon
austere lance
Is it still laggy hell
jade lake
the mini boss for havels ring is so fucking fun
iron inlet
agreed
Havel's everything is fun
I use Havel's gear up until... Nito I think
then I switched to Giant's Armor
jade lake
i strip naked and sprint around him like a mad man and getting all those nice crits on his ass
light cairn
Capra Demon hardest boss in the game
iron inlet
Capra Demon died in 3 swings
lmao
I got god RNG luck
I killed the knight in Undead Burg
got BK Sword
light cairn
i hate capra demon more than any other boss in all the games
iron inlet
fucking EZClapped the rest of the game
jade lake
bell gargoyles are dummy easy
iron inlet
and BK Sword does crazy damage to demons
austere lance
I used drake sword, lol
iron inlet
BK Sword > Drake Sword tbh
light cairn
bell gargoyles are a nice picnic with lightning
austere lance
Never got a BK sword
iron inlet
there's only two swords better than BK imo which is Man-Serpent and Great Lord
jade lake
zweihander is god BTW
iron inlet
I ran my NG+ running double BK Sword
because I got another in the Kiln of Flame
I just wore black knight armor and dual wielded BK Sword, but once I beat Capra Demon I got bored and started DL'ing DS2
jade lake
if they put DS2 on switch that would be neato
austere lance
Did Capra have dogs
iron inlet
yes
but you can just kill them super quick
so they're kinda meh
it's literally like slash slash the dogs, run around capra and block when you can
austere lance
I cheesed him by making him jump off the stairs a bunch and hitting him while he recovered, lol
iron inlet
Sword & Board makes Capra a piece of cake
I literally just killed him in 3 swings with BK Sword
because BK Sword is busted early game
230 damage off the bat
austere lance
I cheesed some fat knight in a tower by making him jump off stairs 6x
iron inlet
just have to commit to the soul grind to get the STR & Dex you need for the BK Sword
austere lance
I one-handed the drake sword cuz I hella leveled my strength, lol

teal mason
Ok why did no one tell me you can skate in Warframe now https://twitter.com/TripleKyun/status/1061429943609974785?s=09
teal mason
skating is the only thing barring any game from matching my experience with Witcher 3
I must play Warframe again now
gaunt hare
Tetris Effect sounds incredibly annoying.
I just watched some clips of it and it sounded like I imagined tetris synced up with music would.
inland grail
time to go back
gaunt hare
Damn I just looked up video of that
Really cool
Love the 8bit music of NMS music
@inland grail I'm fooling around with it right now.
cinder vessel
okapi 
gaunt hare
Wow I can't believe he launched the game in this state.
Practically no gameplay
Paul Nicholas lied
Tetris Effect is annoying.
cinder vessel
urannoying
gaunt hare
Thumper > Rez > Going outside > Tetris Effect
cinder vessel
but Tetris Effect is still really good imo. The better you do, the more the music picks up, goood stuff
gaunt hare
Though I haven't played Rez
cinder vessel
you should try to pick it up somewhen. frustratingly it's not on sale all that often
I know it's good thanks to having an old copy, but i've been really wanting to pick up Rez Infinite
secretly tho we're missing the sleeper hit amidst all of these: Polybius
gaunt hare
Haha for a second I thought someone actually made a game out of the urban legend
charred badge
time to shred a slope
winter yew
dude
I'm actually getting somewhat better at using the board
I ended up buying one of the prebuilt ones
was only 57 plat
didnt know you could level them up or mod them like the archwings
there's a mod that makes them leave a trail of fire that can hurt enemies
@cinder vessel Rez Infinite is awesome
I have the PS2 version of the original Rez
Never was able to track down the Dreamcast version
but I did burn a copy of it at one point
charred badge
rez infinite is glorious!
winter yew
Yesssssssss
I've also been playing Aaero which is inspired by Rez
that spider boss >:3
better link since that other one was stutery and shit
I kind of get bored with Tetris nowadays
Lumines is where my heart is with puzzle action games
charred badge
have you beaten area X?
winter yew
on Rez?
charred badge
yeah
winter yew
yea
charred badge
really amped up. It's pretty
winter yew

long gale
Finally getting my first kavat on warframe! Here's hoping it isn't ugly.
teal mason
I wish I have the time to get one of those
now I'm just lost on what to do to progress cos last I played was like 4 years ago
winter yew
There are story quests
teal mason
yeah I've been doing that, just that it's more complex than it was to get to another planet lol
teal mason
Also now the story just takes me all over the place lmao
I remember the starting ones only getting stuck on a planet or two lol
winter yew
The story is nice
Second Dream and War Within are amazing
Yes
I’m so glad to see other people in NMS taking on Warframe, I felt alone for awhile 😦
@teal mason if/when you get the Sands of Inaros quest you can scan the kavats on that for DNA.
If you don’t want to bother with the orokin derelict
@teal mason if you’re ever confused on how to progress on the star chart you can ping me, I should be able to help a little
rigid haven
Apparently Second Dream makes the Stalker stronger and I don't want that
I need his weapon in my hands, not in my corpse
cinder vessel
lol
long gale
Farm his weapons then do the story then, I suggest. Though certain abilities from the story are almost required for Plains of Eidolon, at least.
rigid haven
I'm on, like the second planet
Something tells me that when he appears I'll be promptly slaughtered
long gale
I'm just waiting 24 hours for my new baby kavat.
teal mason
I gotta google how to get a space dog again I've forgotten about how to get an egg lmao
long gale
Getting an egg is literally just killing wild kubrow until they drop one
Can only carry one at a time so it sucks hot ass if two of them drop
teal mason
yeah I remember there's a mission I can grind for, just gotta find out which one it is
rigid haven
Wait, they just randomly exist?
teal mason
doesn't that quest literally make you destroy their nest or someshit
I just remember that being very metal and inhumane
winter yew
@rigid haven it doesn't make the Stalker stronger, the old version still has a chance to spawn.
rigid haven
Ohh, okay
winter yew
and yes, Kubrows are on the earth missions
they have nests that you have to destroy that will drop the eggs
teal mason
I gotta remember to put them in stasis they fucking die when I log in once a year 
winter yew
yeah they dont do that anymore
well, i take that back
they dont do that, so long as you have the upgraded incubator
teal mason
oh wow fuckin rip Dog then
winter yew
lol.
teal mason
it probably starved or somethin
winter yew
maybe
lemme look into it
OH ok
so they dont die
they get automatically put into stasis
teal mason
wow that's neat
winter yew
"Grown-up companion's health will decay by 10% each day and will have to be maintained with DNA Stabilizers purchased from the market. Upon reaching -100% health the companion will be put in Stasis automatically (As of Update 22.12 on PC, Companions still die on consoles)."
then if you're in a clan that has it researched you can get the Nutrio Incubator Upgrade Segment.
Upgrade Effects:
Stasis Recovery now Instant.
Stasis Recovery now free.
DNA stabilizers cost reduction from Credits64 75,000 to Credits64 5,000.
Egg incubation reduced by a day.
After the upgrade segment is installed, the daily DNA degradation rate is reduced from 10% to 5%.
winter yew
there's a lot of weapons and warframes in the clan research tho 😛
stuff you replicate the blueprints for or whatever
¯_(ツ)_/¯
teal mason
yeah I know, think I was in one like, looong ago
but it's hard to get accepted in when I'm telling em I play once a year or someshit lol
long gale
I love the kavats
I'm very tempted to buy the kavat skin that looks like a chubby sphynx cat
winter yew
ohh
the are awfully ugly x)
mine's named Jolteon because it's natural colors are similar
long gale
Take one of the chubby sphynx kavats and put it in a sweater
That mental image is adorable
winter yew
long gale
Also, I want to know how to get a moa.
winter yew
talk to Legs in Fortuna
long gale
Legs
long gale
dances
long gale
His name is fitting.
long gale
Nah I plan on it later
long gale
I don't mind knowing about it
Y'know the Fortuna aesthetic caught me completely off guard
It feels like an old Western mining town
winter yew
Warframe servers having issues today or something....
jade lake
just whooped the gaping dragons ass on my first try
pine resin and zweihander is all you need
jade lake
oh wow
ok
I see why that sounds bad
the bosses name is gaping dragon BTW
jfc i didn’t know it sounded like that
rigid haven
What the
jade lake
I’m not sorry
bronze wind
never apologize
rigid haven
Hahahaha
winter yew
Ok sorry, I won't.
bronze wind
This happened to me at a party I was at on Saturday
Girl was drunk and apoligizing for it
I made her pinky promise not to say sorry anymore
2 seconds later
"ok sorry"
bronze wind
Sorry
rigid haven
Even if being safe requires you to be sorry
bronze wind
ok sorry
brisk merlin
gaping dragon

I was
winter yew
Wow, should have seen a doctor after 4 hours.
long gale
Always use protection while slaying gaping dragons.
long gale
Preferably armor.

how do u default dance in that state
long gale
Maybe a shield.
jade lake
My exoskeleton default dances for me

Wow nice feature

Probably my favorite dark souls gif

Yep
bronze wind
also that's amazing haha
long gale
He was askin' for it
Man I love seeing people play the games completely blind
'Cause then they do shit like taunt the mushrooms.
And then they get punched into next week.
I'm convinced One Punch Man referenced these things with one of the covers
Because it's a giant dead mushroom man with a hole in its gut being cooked by the dude
I'll send it to people if asked but I'm still torn on whether it's a coincidence or a reference.
rigid haven
Those are big fucking mushrooms holy shit
It might just be coincidence? Unless the mushrooms are known to be crazy strong
bronze wind
They are timid but if you get too close, attack, or taunt them, the big lads absolutely wreck you
long gale
The mushrooms hit like a truck
bronze wind
A mushroom truck
long gale
Like they hit real hard if they land a hit
Like watch that dude's health in that gif
He got 1-shot
long gale
This is fair, but I've seen like, geared up players get murdered by those things
bronze wind
Oh yeah for sure haha
long gale
Nobody suspects the mushrooms.
silver sparrow
i think i'm going to re-visit The Long Dark, the other walking sim i own 😃
silver sparrow
i haven't played since the mid-2018 update
silver sparrow
ah ok then i won't tell you where i am in the main story line
winter yew
I'm on episode 2, the electric started going all weird in the night time.
I've only just got a rifle and flashlight.
silver sparrow
i'm roughly around there 😃
they made an update that made it harder to make food so i was like mrrr lazy
but i will give it a shot
winter yew
Hahaha
silver sparrow
the mechanics are intriguing though
like i tried to play This War of Mine but couldn't get into the mechanics
winter yew
Exactly the same situation for me, it just didn't sit right with me at all.
winter yew
The only issue I do have with The Long Dark is the weight of clothes adding to the carry limit.
But that's a minor detail.
silver sparrow
realistic weight management 😉 ~60 pounds
winter yew
It does make perfect sense tbf, I'm just not used to it. 😛
silver sparrow
27 kilos
winter yew
I'm used to survival games allowing me to upgrade my backpack for storage space etc.
But it does add to the survival element, so many times I've had to drop items that I REALLY didn't want to.
silver sparrow
sames 😦
silver sparrow
ironically, i bought the game because it had a way cool trailer track
from an artist i didn't know
so i bought the game and found a new artist to follow 😃
it was "the curse" by agnes obel
winter yew
That's a positive
It's honestly really nice when you get into it
It does get frustrasting
but that's life in the war
It just never got to the fun part for me, just felt like I was doing stuff for the sake of doing stuff.
If that makes any sense
silver sparrow
serb-ish, iirc
winter yew
I'll go back to it eventually.
FO4 was the same for me tbh, took me 3 attempts to really get into it.
Turned into one of my favourite games.
silver sparrow
i also thought about restarting fo4 but decided on long dark instead
looked hard at FO76 but i don't think it's worth my $60
winter yew
FO76 is gunna be a disaster.
silver sparrow
feels that way
winter yew
It could be like ESO
I do genuinely hope it proves everyone wrong and it's actually good.
The day one patch is 50gb which is a HUGE patch which can only mean massive changes.
Like ESO was pretty bad on release
I sold it and than bought it again a year later and it was pretty good
I wouldn't play it over Oblivion or Morrowind
Maybe I would prefer ESO over Skyrim
but that's just my taste
winter yew
Yeah
jade lake
they just need to build on it
jade lake
i think 76 in its current state looks like dumb fun, its just how long it can last
for 60$
winter yew
I want to try 76 tbh
It took me a while to get into FO3 and FO:NV but damn were they fun after I got them to stop crashing after every 30 minutes
jade lake
thats exactly how i feel right now, i didnt do any of the beta sessions and i think the game looks really cool, the negative opinions of it seem to be mainly technical problems
as ive said before, as far as fallout goes, just give me loot, shit to kill, and a good soundtrack
and it seems to check all those boxes
winter yew
yeah
the story hasn't been that great since FO:NV
FO3 had an okay story
tried FO4 and got bored after 3 hours
jade lake
fo4 is fun for reasons totally different than NV, its weird
its a very different game
for 76 im just waiting on a huge sale or a free weekend
winter yew
Exactly the same
winter yew
Oh absolutely, the framerate lock thing is almost laughable.
Is also cheat mods already available.
jade lake
the whole "our engine cant handle an FOV slider" had me almost shitting my pants
its pathetic
rigid haven
I'm totally getting F76 close to release
Even if it's a bit swamped with problems, it seems fun
winter yew
You can be our feedback 😛
bronze wind
I played a bit of it during the beta, had some fun
I have it for free tho so I don't really have the same viewpoint as you guys lol
rigid haven
I'm buying it because I need to kill time before the Smash and KH3 come out
bronze wind
My brother bought it and he has home sharing set up on my xbox
Can't say if I'd spend money because I would be waiting for release to see how it performed anyway
winter yew
Tell your brother I'll be a better brother.
bronze wind
bronze wind
It seemed easy enough to play by yourself. Just not as much going on.
bronze wind
It was fun when I played
bronze wind
The engine limitations and all that are another discussion but I liked midgame FO4 and it feels like that right away
bronze wind
lmao
winter yew
Also FO4 is a hit or miss title
I know people who are fans of it didn't get into it as much as they did with NV and 3
FO4 was the first Fallout I played.
I think that genuinely helped me enjoy it more.
Hmmm
Maybe
winter yew
TBH, it's the only FO game I've played.
winter yew
It just never appealed to me, someone bought me FO4 for a birthday.
I'd have never purchased it myself.
I enjoyed it.
I was gunna buy FO3 and NV on GoG but I see they have issues with Windows 10.
WAY TOO MANY ISSUES
NV CRASHES EVERY HOUR

I cracked up at how this Moa landed when I shot it. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/360646243975823362/511632826228146193/unknown.png
Ah fuck time to boot up Warframe again
The peaks of Orb Vallis are amazing
It's so damn fun to just ride around on that hoverboard
yes 😄
I like the hunting game too
cinder vessel
Have any of ya seen any updates on whether Spyro Reignited is still part disc part download?
light cairn
that was confirmed ages ago, yeah
cinder vessel
i was hoping for some very last minute change somehow, lol
really is just like why even bother with the disc
They're printing discs for Fallout 76 as well, aren't they?
jade lake
yes
cinder vessel
so wasteful
way these companies are handling these games, the discs don't even hold up for those with flaky internet
limber harness
Because disk is DRM
And not much else
Plus because when they tried killing disks, all of the console players got furious because you can't lend games to friends or buy them used or whatever
Plus people like having PhYsIcAl CoPiEs So ThAt If SoNy Or XbOx Or StEaM oR wHaTeVeR gOeS bAnKrUpT tHeY gEt To KeEp ThEiR gAmEs.
jade lake
physical copies only make sense for Nintendo games imo
Nintendo and online don’t mix well at all
austere lance
Apparently Sea of Thieves is getting an Arena mode 🤔
cinder vessel
That last point is entirely legitimate imo. Except now companies are fucking that all up by not even bothering to print complete versions to disc.
As is the second to last point, to a degree, so long as the disc version is essentially functional.
Given that companies are absolutely fucking miserable at handling digital sharing (i.e. they mostly don't without sharing accounts), physical copies can make sense...As long as they aren't half-assed.
bronze wind
There are limitations to physical copies
Including size
That can be remedied by multiple discs but that's a large margin of money to spend to ship a game
cinder vessel
Yeah, same time tho, if people know ahead of time that they're going to have to download a large portion of the game...It seems likely the printed copies were a waste in themselves
Why bother buying them if you're still going to have to download a bunch & all
cinder vessel
boo
cinder vessel
That's dumb af, I do know what ya mean, but it's still v. dumb imo, lol
If you want that, seems like you'd shoot for collector's edition or somethin'
bronze wind
That's pretty much the only reason they still print physical
cinder vessel
bronze wind
And no, not everyone wants to spend more money to get the physical thing
cinder vessel
Well what I mean is you get more for your sentimentality with that
bronze wind
Yeah but it's still more money, and it's not always a nice collectors edition lol
cinder vessel
With a physical copy alone like Kaz said, you're basically paying for a DRM key to inconvenience you to put into your console
At least if you only get it for sentimentality's sake
bronze wind
All digital copies are on steam or something most of the time anyway
I.e. DRM
So that's not really much of a unique issue to physical copies
cinder vessel
The secret to Steam tho is you just don't know which are technically running without that
But there's a jump between a physical object you have to put in and a Steam login. With physical discs, I don't need to point out the swapping you end up having to do to play different games, yeah?
Like...That's a bit much for sentimentality, I'd think
bronze wind
It's really not that hard to swap a disc lol
I buy digital, cause idc
But that's why there are still physical copies
Because people want them
cinder vessel
People want them not just because of sentimentality tho, obvs
Still tho, when sentimentality produces even mild inconvenience...Like...Wouldn't that make someone rethink that...? 🤔
Ah wtf ever. Basic point here is, there's merchandising for sentimentality, a game should still be a copy of the game with little extra patching needed. And if your game is going to have loads of patches, maybe just don't even bother with discs to begin with?
Like Fallout 76 has zero business being put to disc
(especially considering you know they'll have all the sentimental merchandise you could want available separately)
jade lake
🤷
cinder vessel
i just want to buy thing & play thing without having to wait for thing to download more thing 😩
light cairn
unacceptable /s
cinder vessel
i didn't go through load screens to be replaced by download times 😭
(and incidentally also still load screens)
i want a future refund pls
anyway despite all that rambling i'm still excited to see how Spyro Reignited looks
jade lake
ok
limber harness
You can just buy digital copies instead /shrug
It's not like game publishers are going to go back to disk only. Games are getting too big, users want earlier access (and therefore get bugs that need patching out). There is literally no reason to create a one-time gold master anymore
Best case, players on different disk versions have different bugs. Worst case, players who buy patch disk 2.21 won't be able to play with 2.19 or older.
limber harness
So then everyone who paid $60 for a disk needs to re-buy the game so you can just play it again.
austere lance
I have Spyro downloaded, lol
limber harness
I have smash downloaded already :D
cinder vessel
Kaz, to my mind, it's okay to have different disc versions. We have different editions of books, different versions of films, and so on, yet they all largely retain the same basic experience with slight variations. That's far better to me than having what is increasingly becoming nothing more than a disposable edition in games media
I guess I just need to put my money where my mouth is and buy more Limited Run copies of games
here's to Dragon Quest XI tho, full game printed to disc, some light patches 👍
jade lake
im still stuck in the last area
its been a few months since ive played it
60 hours clocked tho i got my moneys worth
cinder vessel
I'm not sure why but I've just not been able to get myself to play it for long sessions
Mostly just a couple hours here & there
cinder vessel
Pretty sure I just haven't hit the, "This train's in motion now!" point in the story
jade lake
i enjoyed it, but once i got stuck i got discouraged to play it entirely
cinder vessel
me & basically every JRPG
austere lance
I beat RDR 2, I'm working through the epilogue 😭
cinder vessel
so RDR1? 😛
austere lance
Lol
jade lake
i already got spoiled for RDR2
austere lance
Damn @jade lake
cinder vessel
Seriously tho, I can see someone playing RDR2 and then to RDR1 and that would be such a weird trip
austere lance
The epilogue sets up RDR 1 pretty nicely
jade lake
RDR1 story wise is an excellent sequel after RDR2
cinder vessel
On some level it sorta surprises me they didn't try to run a remaster of RDR1 in the lead up to RDR2
Like imagine how much more money they'd make if you could buy both on the current platforms 😮
Although...Technically, with an Xbox One X, you might be to able to make use of its backwards compatibility, yeah?
austere lance
All 3 Red Dead games are playable on Xbone 👌
long gale
In The Long Dark I spend 90% of my time trying to figure out what's pushing me over the weight limit that I can drop without dying.
cinder vessel
finished Tetris Effect's journey mode! gooood stuff
cinder vessel
cinder vessel
Yeah...
And from what I've read they're not necessarily the best versions
So unless they polish each one up for individual release, not sure why you'd bother, besides the lower price
rigid haven
I suppose, though it is kinda dumb
cinder vessel
wait a sec...did they manage to get all three bioshock games on one disc with that... 🤔
hmmm
if so that makes the Spyro situation even funnier. tho different publisher & devs
then again, there's also the whole remade from ground up part too
games are in a very silly place these days
jade lake
how much you wanna bet they still wont release on switch
cinder vessel
Huh, I didn't realize this was gonna be a thing:
https://www.amazon.com/Persona-Dancing-Endless-Night-Collection-PlayStation/dp/B07G7YP27Q
Wha? The Bioshock games?
Oooh, damn, it looks like Sunset Overdrive may be coming out this Friday for $20 with all DLC bundled together
rigid haven
Bioshock collection came on two, iirc
One for 1 and 2, one for Infinite
Or, well, that's how the digital downloads came
Which is really odd
haughty rapids
:3
austere lance
Sunset Overdrive 😴
All the reviews for it are heinous lies
It's like Fusion Frenzy and Jet Set Radio Future had an inbred child with an existential crisis
I played it for like 2 hours with Game Pass then deleted it, I wasted like 12 hours downloading it with my slow-ass internet
cinder vessel
at least now others can see if they share that opinion, lol
Wasn't about to buy an Xbox One for it, that's for sure
speaking of, almost forgot Recore is on Steam now
austere lance
Have you played it?
cinder vessel
Nah, see above, no Xbox One
austere lance
It's 😴 as hell
cinder vessel
feel like a lot of Xbox One exclusives came across that way to ya, lol
austere lance
Oh no, I grew up on Fusion Frenzy, Halo, and when I was a teenager I loved the shit outta Gears of War. Sunset Overdrive and Recore aren't even in the same league
cinder vessel
right, so basically the ones that have never sold me on an Xbox, lol
Although not familiar with Fusion Frenzy, so that one aside
austere lance
It was a release title for the original Xbox, it was usually bundled with Project Gotham Racing and Jet Set Radio Future
Sometimes with Oddworld: Munch's Odyssey if you were lucky 😄
austere lance
Lol
cinder vessel
But yeah, tbh Recore & Sunset Overdrive were a couple of the only games to make me really even look at Xbox One for a bit
austere lance
Oof
cinder vessel
Some of the indies did too, but I always expect those to be timed exclusives, 'cause indies gotta make dat money
austere lance
Recore looked so fuckin cool 😭
cinder vessel
I still see some reviews sayin' it's got somethin'
austere lance
Yeah, I saw em too. Then I tried the Definitive Edition on Game Pass. RIP the dream
cinder vessel
But I've also read the hard facts that it tends to be a lot of collectable style play
And it's not exactly the most sensible in how those are placed or somesuch
austere lance
The shooting has got to be some of the most monotonous shit I've ever seen in a game
They made shooting things boring. How does one even pull that off 😄
cinder vessel
Sorta easily? I've never been too into shooting things tho 🤷
It's kinda interesting, I went from being bleh towards FPS when I was younger, mildly interested, then kinda right back to meh now, lol
long gale
Both Playstation and Xbox have exclusives I want but can't be bothered with buying a whole new system for
austere lance
Well you have to, lol. Gotta shoot things and either kill em and collect some crappy parts or play tug of war and rip its core out
long gale
Xbox has Sea of Thieves. Wonder if that game is still populated.
austere lance
Which is 100x less entertaining than how I described it
cinder vessel
PC does too tho, which is...Kinda the issue with Xbox games atm, lol
That's also like almost every game with shooting tho, the have to part, I mean
austere lance
@long gale SoT is at a decently steady player count, they just announced the Arena and people will probably come back for that
long gale
PC has sea of thieves if you own a windows 10.
Oh, I honestly thought the population would tank as soon as all the bigger streamers got tired of it
cinder vessel
They've been keeping content comin' to it from what I gather
long gale
That's good then
austere lance
It has a weird fan-base that keeps with it. Most of the content is meh but they're getting better with it, they just added a whole new area to the map full of volcanoes and geysers that try to murder you while you do stuff 😄
long gale
Oh wow, that sounds pretty neat! Have they added some different types of quests, hopefully?
austere lance
Now they're adding the Arena, which will make the pvp crowd happy
long gale
A bit more variety to the questing is what I saw most people wanting
austere lance
They added cargo runs, which are basically merchant voyages with fragile cargo to transport
So now there's like 4 voyage types, lol
long gale
That sounds like the type of mission people would be too annoyed by to do. Similar to what I saw happening with the "deliver these animals" missions.
People I watched just stopped doing those missions all together because they were just a pain
austere lance
God I hate the animal voyages. Feeding pigs is obnoxious 😄
cinder vessel
i imagine this isn't what you end up doing but i like to imagine you have to assign a crewmember to feed & soothe the animal, lol
austere lance
And trying to find the right islands with the right animals was hell til people made guides listing where they are
long gale
Yep
The dude I watched played in parties of a max of like 3
So he got very tired of the animal voyages
The pigs kept starving while he was looking for the other assigned animals.
austere lance
One time I was playing with a friend in the sloop and some large ship full of morons shot at us, so we chased them for an hour and shot them whenever they slowed down til a kraken fucked em up 😂
cinder vessel
o_O you actually have to keep'em fed? 😮
austere lance
Yes
You have to waste bananas on pigs
Chickens don't give a shit
When the kraken snagged the ship we stayed out of its range and danced a bunch til we got bored and put em out of their misery, lol
long gale
My Kavat will be ready in 3 hours.
It is purple, blue, and red.
You bet your bum i'm going to dye this cat because good god the colors.
long gale
It looks better than my child's default colors. XD
When I rank up to rank 10 i'll post a picture of her
austere lance
This is the best thing to come out of Sea of Thieves recently, lol
long gale
This man's face deeply disturbs me
austere lance
That's the art-style for the game, lol
long gale
I know it is
Just this man in particular
He's triangle shaped and 90% cheeks
Are bobtail kavats a thing? I don't see my bab's tail.
winter yew
i think they all have tails but i could be wrong
the kitten forms dont have tails
but when you mature them they usually grow tails
long gale
Ahh, neat.
long gale
I think you got lucky with her colors
long gale
Cat genders are difficult to keep track of.
winter yew
yeah
gaunt hare
For anyone who has played Horizon Zero Dawn Frozen Wilds: I definitely want to play the DLC, almost done with the game. Does it matter if I beat the game and go into NG+, or should I wait until I can buy the DLC?
winter yew
Yes @long gale
long gale
Right-o, mind if I PM you Acey? XD
winter yew
go for it
I'll have to add you as a friend before that happens though lol.
Was to cut down on the spam from some wierdos on another discord I'm on 😉
long gale
I think you can pick and choose now which discords people are allowed to PM you from
Yep, just checked
Under privacy settings
winter yew
Eh I just did a universal privacy thing
split fulcrum
sanser, you can get by in WF without a clan for quite a while.
neat yew
That's good, I play games for fun, not as some sort of commitment
The journey is more important than the destination
split fulcrum
@neat yew the main reason youll want to join one....eventually, is use of all clan exclusive blueprints and end game stuff like long run kuva farming and eidolon hunts
but thats like
ages from now, if ur new
neat yew
Okay see I don't even know what any of that means, whats important is if the shoot shoot bang bang is fun while I'm doing it lol
split fulcrum
@neat yew yup. wf is great for that. you have content that can take you 15mins, or 3 hours. theres always events and missions and alerts to run.
neat yew
I hear the levels are procedurally generated or something?
split fulcrum
@neat yew they also toned down the grind for Prime parts, making it easier to get a few and get out...instead of endless hours
@neat yew levels have a tile set, and a basic layout...but tunnels, hallways off of that core randomly generate
enemy spawns are random too
neat yew
That's pretty cool. I also heard there are sort of like open world areas or something?
split fulcrum
If you do decide to play, my main advice to you would be....read up on the frames and guns....pick out ones you like, and focus on figuring out how to acquire them. WF has a lot of stuff, so its easy to get mired down in it
yeah atm theres the plains of eidolon and fortuna on pc
neat yew
Okay cool.. the fact that it's free makes it so much easier to get into for me lol
split fulcrum
us filthy console peasants have to wait for fortuna :c
yeah theres no real risk....other than liking it :p
neat yew
hmm my friend plays... 1130 hours... yeah there's a bit of a risk I would say
meager panther
I too want to do WF
neat yew
I'm guessing there are people with far more hours lol
meager panther
How does one start
split fulcrum
install it!
teal mason
I just started playing it back in the day
split fulcrum
😄
meager panther
I saw that video of WF and it looked great
split fulcrum
im on ps4 if you want to play there
neat yew
no cross platform?
meager panther
I play pc
split fulcrum
😩
austere lance
Time to test out Spyro
neat yew
Time to cry because I'm a PC peasant
No RDR2, no Spyro. What am I supposed to do but whahhnnnn
winter yew
Fortuna is really good
Better than plains of eidolon imo
People might tell you "oh it's super grindy" well yes it is but hot damn the grind is fun.
austere lance
@neat yew RIP, RDR 2 is 😍
meager panther
But yeah same
I miss not playing rdr2
I just watch all the yt videos of it
It's so nice
winter yew
They'll probably end up releasing it too PC
Since PS5 is near they might also release it on PS5 so ye
meager panther
Hope so it comes on pc
austere lance
I'm on the epilogue for the game, it's so good and BREAKS YOUR DAMN HEART 😭
There's a point in the game where everything starts going downhill horrifyingly fast and you're just yelling NOOOOO a lot 😭
split fulcrum
@winter yew the k-drive grind...or the grind to get better k-drives by grinding
willow crypt
Welp, the Second Dream mission in Warframe was quite a surprise. I've been playing on and off since 2014 (large breaks) and only just now completed this quest. Ive been largely unimpressed with the story telling but this one was really cool.
willow crypt
and the music
teal mason
I just wanted to fish and accidentally got carried thru an Eidalon hunt?
if there is a peak of "what the fuck is happening" that would be it
rigid haven
Oh yeah what's with those big thingies in the open world? They look neat and I want to kill them
teal mason
but I just want to fish
winter yew
Oh those big guys are hard to kill
teal mason
I need dem fish oil to make da wing launcher
rigid haven
Of course, why would I want to kill them if they were easy
teal mason
yeah I noticed as I did fuckall damage even to the weak spots
winter yew
You can do anything if you try hard enough.
willow crypt

reef storm
...but if you do, record it so we can post it on Youtube.

Yeah think of the views.

De-monetized for promoting stupidity though

Back to games - ya'll see the humble bundle early games this month?
MGS V and Cities: Skylines
reef storm
I"ll give you my copy if you haven't done it yet
winter yew
I didn't do it yet.
reef storm
Cool. Give me a few
reef storm
Nothing lol
reef storm
I've probably given away more games from the humble monthly than I've actually used.
Mainly because I have them lol
willow crypt
finally playin Bulletstorm on ps4, free this month
winter yew
Is it as good as you hoped?
willow crypt
it's pretty awesome.
violent
kinda funny
looks good for its age
and we don't get enough fps campaigns.
austere lance
I'm liking Spyro Reignited. The first game is kinda 😴 imo but I like the second so far
We all knew which game I was voting for, lol

Btw who is Geoff?
meager panther
Is he like a TV host?

winter yew
Very respected.

@winter yew you're very brave saying that in there lol

Didn't know sentients were able to spawn there >_>
That didn't go as bad tbh
bronze wind
Basically no negatives lol
Minus that one dude
That immediately jumped to blaming Sony after

Celeste is on the GOTY list? Holy shit

It's pinned here @split fulcrum
topaz wedge
How come this channel is so quiet right now?
winter yew
I know right
reef storm
Because all the chatter is in #no-mans-sky lol
topaz wedge
Wouldn't be cool if Discord implemented somekind of channel message redirection? lol
reef storm
Redirection based on keywords in messages
That would be weird. "Hey - didn't you just mention insert game name?" "Yeah, it got moved"
reef storm
No. Not one bit.
gaunt hare
keeps the mods busy
topaz wedge
C'mon, you use algorithms to manage your bank account, so why not? lol
gaunt hare
What do we pay you for??

Jesus, we'd be even busier if message redirection was a thing lol

pls no.

That will be fun

Cursed video

I wish they focused more on STW
cinder vessel
They did for several years and still couldn't make much of it from the sounds of the initial reception to the beta @winter yew
winter yew
Darn
cinder vessel
I remember watching some videos of it, and some people loved it, but it didn't look like it would ever hit mass market appeal
I'm kind of surprised they didn't try to wrap Paragon and push that to final release, but I think they were seeing similar problems with it
It couldn't compete with the free to play MOBAs, was a bit too late to market, but served to teach them that if battle royale was the next big thing, here's their chance to break into that
Whoever made that call was absolutely correct in the end
jade lake
apparently FO76 went live a day early 🤔
@light cairn how do i get to blight town through firelink shrine
i heard its the better path
light cairn
then you go down the elevator at firelink, then right around the base of it there's a door you can unlock
jade lake
thanks man, these big guys at the other entrance keep beating my ass lol

yep! you're in the right spot then
