other-games

[cinder vessel]

which makes it much better imo

[reef storm]

Hmmmmm

I like that.

Speaking of KH, hopefully I get a small bonus at the end of the year. Been wanting to get a PS4

[light cairn]

noice

[cinder vessel]

if you were interested in KH, it's as good a time as any to jump in, what with The Story So Far bundle of the remasters

[reef storm]

I still have my original KH and KH2

....I think

[cinder vessel]

nice

if so

lol

Trick is that it has some remakes/remasters of other side-titles like Chain of Memories & such

[rigid haven]

Yesssss

The Story So Far collection is definitely something to pick up if you wanna play most of the KH games

[reef storm]

Whenever I get a PS4, I might just do that anyway

[rigid haven]

Yessss

I'm preordering KH3 tonight because I'm an idiot

[reef storm]

No....that's one of the few preorders I'd sign off on

[rigid haven]

I did vow never to pre order after, uh, NMS, but I don't know when I'll get this much money again so I'm seizing the moment

[reef storm]

KH3 looks solid.

[rigid haven]

It does, and it looks like it runs better than 0.2

[reef storm]

Much excite.

[rigid haven]

Yes yes

[cinder vessel]

I preordered Tetris Effect basically a day before release since I'd tried the demo & knew I liked it & wanted the music, lmao

Typically I'm a never preorder person too, but unlike other devs they gave you enough to know it was a solid decision

[rigid haven]

I'll be buying KH3 anyway, even if it's a trash game

Only for the story

[jade lake]

KH3 is only for KH fans

no one else lol

[rigid haven]

Yup

KH is weird in that you have to play the first one to understand any other ones

Whereas games usually make subsequent titles in a long-running franchise separate from each other

[cinder vessel]

oh btw, @jade lake you really enjoyed Fallout 4, right? Did you play that on PC?

[echo hill]

arent they making a KH3?

oh

youre talking about it lol

[rigid haven]

Yes

Just bought it

Now we wait until next year

[echo hill]

haha

[cinder vessel]

i'm still not sure what to think of this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYZqA5jH-dw

[jade lake]

@cinder vessel

yes

i really enjoyed it

OK fellas

is Cdkeys a mostly reliable site

[cinder vessel]

Did ya play it awhile after it was patched up?

[jade lake]

ye

[cinder vessel]

Ran alright for the most part & everything? So far as a Bethesda game is concerned anyway?

[jade lake]

ye ultra settings 60 fps

[cinder vessel]

Hmm

76 has me thinking about maybe buying it with all the extra stuff at some point when it's on sale

[jade lake]

im thinking about buying it right now

ive loved every fallout game

[cinder vessel]

Oh, I meant Fallout 4

[jade lake]

and i really wanna try 76

fallout 4 is really fun

[cinder vessel]

76 is gonna still be a big ol' wait if at all for me

[jade lake]

i recommend it

[cinder vessel]

I just knew Fallout 4 seemed like it needed some time to be patched up from everything I read at release

Also as to cdkeys, I've never used the site so can't say anything about it

[jade lake]

what about gmg?

gmg seems to be trusted

[cinder vessel]

I've read more about them being alright, yeah

At the very least I've not read anything bad about them

[jade lake]

hmm

might have to cop 76 now bcs its on sale there

[rigid haven]

Ooo, how much?

[jade lake]

10 bucks off\

not much but im a bethesda shill

[cinder vessel]

lol

[jade lake]

well there it goes

no turning back

now only time will tell

[rigid haven]

Oh huh

I got near enough the same saving from where I bought it

Yay

I also got a badge set because people use badges these days?

[cinder vessel]

huh

when I got Dragon Quest XI the guy gave me a badge set too, and I was just like, "okay thanks"

thinkin' kinda the same thing tbh

[rigid haven]

Same thing with KH3 actually

Who is this marketed towards

[cinder vessel]

someone has a badge fetish

[reef storm]

I've used CDKeys probably a dozen times. Seems pretty reliable.

[cinder vessel]

I hope Left Alive isn't just Quiet Man-esque but with mechs

[rigid haven]

Oh fuck, it looks Lost Planet 2

[raven frost]

oh god, lost planet

[jade lake]

i am the weaker man for buying 76

i am the living definition of beta male

[reef storm]

Nah, it's okay. We don't think any less of you

laughs in background

Seriously though, F76 just doesn't look like it would be fun, at least in the initial stages. Maybe after a few months out in the wild, who knows

[rigid haven]

It's ok Ab, me too

[jade lake]

schools pretty much wrapped up until december (thanksgiving break is generous this year) and the next game coming out is smash, and i have literally nothing else to do but grind payday 2 until then, so for the sake of my sanity i needed to get 76 lol

now i hope i can run it

[rigid haven]

I hope it downloads decently so I can play soon

Just gotta wait on the delivery

[jade lake]

my specs can run FO4 godlike, but i feel like 76 will be problematic

also damn u got it too

pc?

[light cairn]

how dare u abu

[jade lake]

im sorry

i have no self control

[rigid haven]

Nah, ps4

[jade lake]

i heard the ps4 version is pretty good, xbox looks like a mess

[light cairn]

that's odd

[jade lake]

i mean im sure they're basically the same tbh

[rigid haven]

"Play it now, on the world's most powerful console"

[light cairn]

Nintendo Switch!

[jade lake]

lol

[cinder vessel]

i'm just a little confused they didn't sell 76 as multiplayer DLC for 4 that people could muck about with

Like don't go to the trouble of building out a new area, use the old one, save yourselves some time

would it be clumsy? eh, maybe, but no clumsier than it's already proved to be this way

[rigid haven]

Isn't the map like

HUUUUGE

[cinder vessel]

i think it's supposed to be yeah

but from much of what i've seen it seems kinda...hollow?

[light cairn]

no one has got to explore the whole thing yet

the beta was in a tiny area

afaik

[cinder vessel]

still tho, without NPCs it's just roaming mobs, which is kinda 🤷

[light cairn]

i'm really curious is the lack of NPCs is because they couldn't figure out how to get them to work in engine without freaking out talking to multiple people

disguising game design issues with lore

high level thinking

[cinder vessel]

well they can still have that issue with holotapes and robots that they've left in, I'd think

[light cairn]

are there actually any robots you can talk to outside the vault?

[cinder vessel]

it sounds like there may be

[light cairn]

hmm

[cinder vessel]

was just reading over this:
https://kotaku.com/fallout-76-my-first-day-out-of-the-vault-1830449051

[light cairn]

i just realized that you can't pause for inventory management anymore

oh no

holy cow the review bombing on metacritic is harsh

[cinder vessel]

the beta was rough and some folks really woulda preferred a single player fallout 🤷

[light cairn]

yeah but giving it a 0 isn't really fair

[cinder vessel]

if you couldn't get it to uninstall after the beta was up and didn't want to purchase it even? lol

[light cairn]

that's not part of the game though 😛

[cinder vessel]

eh

people toss in technical issues with game reviews all the time, but even with that in mind, most of those reviews are almost certainly not about that

[light cairn]

holy crap it just went down 0.2 points from when i just looked a few minutes ago

oh wait, different system, nvm

[cinder vessel]

lol

I'm still pretty sure they would've had less backlash if this had been released alongside a remaster of Fallout 3

[rigid haven]

Ouch, that's some nasty reviews

Oof

But yeah, there are robot NPCs

There are, uh

Just no other humans

Except humans

[light cairn]

worst multiplayer (fake multiplayer imo)

what is this even supposed to mean

[rigid haven]

Fake multiplayer is...

[light cairn]

fake multiplayer is like the SAO games

[rigid haven]

...a really good idea

[light cairn]

it's called...bots?

like what would you even consider as fake multiplayer?

[rigid haven]

Singleplayer games that take place like they're multiplayer

[light cairn]

so exactly the SAO games

😎

[rigid haven]

That was a bit broken, lemme rephrase

Uh

Yeah

There's this game that came to switch a bit ago

Wait

[cinder vessel]

.hack// did it first >.>

[rigid haven]

Like Persona but instead of the Metaverse it's an online game

[cinder vessel]

Cross Code? 🤔

[light cairn]

i used to always see .hack on the shelf but never actually got any of them

wasn't on my radar when i was younger

[cinder vessel]

i got them, they're not fantastic to play but the story is captivating

[light cairn]

now i'm curious about what game you meant woop

[cinder vessel]

I think the GU trilogy smoothed out the rough edges tho

[light cairn]

did they ever do any remasters/re-releases?

[cinder vessel]

yeah, of the GU trilogy

runs like a charm, I'd recommend it

Plus it's honestly the easiest way to get the trilogy these days

Buying original copies will cost you a bunch more

like probably $70-100 or so, give or take what each is selling at

[light cairn]

oh wow it's on ps4 too, for some reason i expected ps3

nice

[rigid haven]

Hmm

[light cairn]

and with a demo!

[cinder vessel]

Oh yeah, it was way recent

[light cairn]

almost one year ago last week

[cinder vessel]

I grabbed it during a sale earlier this year

[light cairn]

find that game woop

[rigid haven]

I'm looking

I think it had princess in it?

[light cairn]

any idea on the title at all? and how recent? i'm looking through the shop right now

princess...

[rigid haven]

Pretty old

Wait

Did it even come out?

[light cairn]

you're not thinking of Code of Princess, are you?

[rigid haven]

I'm sure it did

What's that

[light cairn]

beat 'em up game

[cinder vessel]

I'm hoping they try to remaster the original 4 .hack// games

[rigid haven]

It isn't no

It was kinda like animal crossing I think

[light cairn]

uhhhh

[rigid haven]

But you could date people?

You know I'm...

[light cairn]

are you sure this exists

[rigid haven]

15% sure I'm misremembering

[cinder vessel]

🤔

[light cairn]

and you're not confusing it with something else

[cinder vessel]

i like the sounds of whatever this is, lol

you're sure it was released on Switch?

[rigid haven]

Yup

That's where I saw it

[cinder vessel]

could dig out list of Switch games and see what rings a bell

to Wikipedia!

[light cairn]

i'm looking at all the shop releases and nothing in particular looks like that

and you said it's somewhat similar to fake multiplayer?

[rigid haven]

Yeah

It took place in a virtual world I think

But it's just a regular world

Well not regular

[light cairn]

i can't believe pocket edition ffxv released on consoles...

that's how far back i am on these releases, is that too far

[cinder vessel]

lol

[light cairn]

do you remember a genre?

[rigid haven]

Nope

[light cairn]

😫

[cinder vessel]

mobile link warning but there's this:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nintendo_Switch_games

[rigid haven]

I'll go look for it in a bit

I'll look through that list

Or through the eshop

[cinder vessel]

it could be all the things

[light cairn]

i really want to know now

Just Dance 2019!?

[austere lance]

Imagine being this guy 😂😂😂

[light cairn]

🤔

[cinder vessel]

interestingly i only saw one person on my friend list playing it i think

[rigid haven]

I've seen a few

Curiously, most of the 20-40 year olds

[austere lance]

I've seen a ridiculous amount, lol

[cinder vessel]

i don't have a very long friends list tho to be fair

[austere lance]

Same, I cleaned mine out not too long ago cuz it was 🤢

[cinder vessel]

one of my friends did jump right on Fallout 76 though

[rigid haven]

I can't be bothered clearing mine

Oh hey actually

Skip, your trophies

I'm gonna surpass that amount

[light cairn]

good luck with that

[rigid haven]

Your plats, at least

[cinder vessel]

lol

[rigid haven]

I already have 9

I will beat you

[austere lance]

I have a questionabley high Gamerscore, lol

[cinder vessel]

i think i have like 2?

[rigid haven]

I'm planning on trying the Supergiant games since those are pretty simple

[cinder vessel]

but it's never been a focus of mine

[light cairn]

i only plat games i really like

[rigid haven]

I just kinda turn to trophies once I've done everything in a game

I need to do P5 too, damn

[cinder vessel]

I only have 2 thanks to the Zero Escape games

[light cairn]

holy crap you are close in trophies

[austere lance]

I never really bother with achievement hunting, if I get em I get em 🤷

[cinder vessel]

same

[rigid haven]

Skip I did say

I will

Surpass you

[light cairn]

i need to step up my game

[rigid haven]

Burly Men at Sea is easy

[austere lance]

A weapon to surpass Skip Gear

[rigid haven]

And p. much a free plat

Nice game too

[cinder vessel]

i think i may be one of the six people to miss PlayStation Home, lol

[light cairn]

i was just talking to a friend about that the other day!

i want it back

[cinder vessel]

I like the idea of virtual hangouts

[rigid haven]

What was it?

[cinder vessel]

Just a virtual hangout basically

Some little minigames

[light cairn]

like a weird pseudo hangout ad dumping ground thing

but you could bowl

and go to game worlds and stuff

it was neat

[austere lance]

Wii Sports

[cinder vessel]

you could play a demo of Cogs!

[rigid haven]

Huh

Neat

[cinder vessel]

literally a few full levels, like an interactive exhibit of the game as if it existed in real space

[light cairn]

it was like playstation second life but way less seedy

[cinder vessel]

The Cogs demo was the silliest yet coolest thing to me

[light cairn]

let's see what this burly game is all about now...

[cinder vessel]

A friend and I played it together for some reason

[rigid haven]

Game is about 3 hours long complete

It has a really, really nice art style but it's uhh

Lacking in gameplay

[cinder vessel]

I don't know why i thought it a good idea to show them PS Home at all, lol

[austere lance]

I think the only game I've gotten 100% of the achievements for is the King Kong game, lol

[light cairn]

oh no, it's touch screen

[austere lance]

That game was wild 😄

[rigid haven]

Fallout and Skyrim are also pretty easy plats

[light cairn]

i don't have either of those on console

and all the weeb games are too hard to plat

[austere lance]

King Kong had like 6 achievements and you got them all from doing basic gameplay stuff, it was great xD

[light cairn]

nice

this is not what i expected a game called "Burly Men at Sea" to be like

[rigid haven]

It's really comfy

[austere lance]

Comfy???

[rigid haven]

Yeah

Something you can chill in bed with

[jade lake]

like uhh

my pillow

[rigid haven]

Sorta

It has no actual action in it

It's like a book

[light cairn]

oh nice, it has cross save too

sweet

[rigid haven]

Yup, they share the same trophy list too so uh

Oh yeah

You can play on Vita

[austere lance]

Comfy games 🤔

[light cairn]

this is basically just a picture book

[rigid haven]

Yeah

There's uh

[austere lance]

I think Halo CE and Fable/Fable Anniversary count as comfy games for me, lol

[rigid haven]

A really nice thing in it

[cinder vessel]

Gravity Rush is comfy

[light cairn]

gravity rush is great

[cinder vessel]

i'm thinking of getting it on PS4 too just 'cause

[light cairn]

totally forgot it came out on ps4

[cinder vessel]

considering i have 2 anyway

[rigid haven]

Oh

Oh yeah

I knew the second one came out

[cinder vessel]

gravity rush is severely underrated 😭

[light cairn]

it really is

[rigid haven]

And I thought that buying that would come with the first but I confused it with God Eater

[cinder vessel]

aah, oops

i've thought about getting God Eater at some point

which reminds me, sony pls get on Freedom Wars PS4 version

[light cairn]

that'd be amazing

also god eater three baybeeeeeeee

and code vein

gimme more from them

[austere lance]

If this is our definition of comfy then Halo CE, Fable, Gears of War 2, and probably Psychonauts are my comfy games 😄

[cinder vessel]

maybe it's just me, but have any of you that play a bunch of Japanese & Western games noticed Japanese games sometimes have a really good UI feel to them?

[rigid haven]

I need to beat God Eater so I can play GE2 and wear the Sorey costume

[light cairn]

yessss

gameplay can feel wonky but i love the UIs

usually

[rigid haven]

Most anime-y games have really good looking models

[austere lance]

I don't think I've played too many Japanese games tbh. Some Pokemon games, Blue Dragon, and Lost Odyssey are the main ones I can think of

Dead or Alive 3, too

[light cairn]

a man of culture

[austere lance]

Was Ninja Gaiden/Ninja Gaiden Black made by a Japanese team?

[light cairn]

very much so 😛

[austere lance]

Thought so. Those too

I've managed to somehow not play Resident Evil, Silent Hill, or any Final Fantasy game after VI

[cinder vessel]

oh fuck. You know what I sorta miss? The random announcer guy that would say the title of the game and character names in some fighting games

[light cairn]

Tekken still has that live and well

[cinder vessel]

I recently picked up The Bouncer again, and was reminded of how that's such a weirdly comforting touch

every time you start the game, "The Bouncer!"

[austere lance]

I miss Dead or Alive

[cinder vessel]

go to character select in survival mode "Sion Barzahd!"

They're still making Dead or Alive tho, I thought?

[light cairn]

i just "beat" burly men at sea

that was fast

[cinder vessel]

o_O

skip becomes speedrunner

[light cairn]

it's like a choose your own adventure picture book

[cinder vessel]

pro speedrunner skip just bein' humble

[rigid haven]

That's only one route

[light cairn]

that's why i put it in quotes

[rigid haven]

Ok good

[cinder vessel]

Woop will know

[rigid haven]

There are like, uhh

12?

[light cairn]

oh wow

already got 17% trophies 😎

[cinder vessel]

gotta go fast

oh fuck

i wanna get sonic trophies

i want the sonic trophies to all be in sonic's shape

pls gib that sony monsters

this one exception

[light cairn]

that's up to the devs

[cinder vessel]

omg if spyro's trophies aren't just the different key items you collect in each game i'm gonna 🔥

also skip no see i mean the actual trophy image itself not the image alongside the trophy

[light cairn]

the spyro trophies look nice

[cinder vessel]

like it just gets its own sonic pedestal beside the normal trophy pedestal, lmao

i'm sorta regretting getting tetris effect, the bouncer, and rhythm heaven fever instead of spyro reignited

[light cairn]

how dare you regret rhythm heaven

[rigid haven]

Spyro Reignited is like N. Sane Trilogy, right?

As in, surprisingly cheap?

[light cairn]

$40 yeah

[cinder vessel]

yeah, but i went and burnt like $60 or so between those three games and a couple albums, lol

but really i don't regret'em, spyro will go on sale sooner rather than later

and i've technically already played them probably a hundred hours over from the originals

[rigid haven]

Holy shit

I was more of a crash kid but I wanna play Spyro at some point

[cinder vessel]

I was more of a Spyro/Sonic kid than Crash kid

Altho I did play Crash 2 & 3 a bunch

for some reason I always had a hard time finding the first game

but yeah i probably sunk at least 40-50 hours in each Spyro game, so more like 120-150 hours across the trilogy, if not more

mostly thanks to trying to find the last few collectibles in each game, or just enjoying the ambience of the worlds

[rigid haven]

Aww

I do like old-school memories

[austere lance]

Spyro Reignited is 😍

My gf's been playing it for the past 2 days, lol. I've played a bit of the first game and like an hour of the second

[feral solar]

Was never a fan of Spyro.

[austere lance]

She's trying to 100% the third game rn

[rigid haven]

I 100% the second game of Crash

[cinder vessel]

I think Spyro 3 is the only one that I'm kind of eh about, but each of them has worlds I really liked

I think I liked Spyro 1's worlds the most simply due to them having activity going on, which they basically dropped with 2 & 3

[austere lance]

The first game makes me 😴 cuz the worlds are a bit small with barely any NPC's, the worlds in the second game have more NPC's in em and have a funny cutscene in each one. Idk, they just feel more alive to me

[cinder vessel]

wat

That's wild to me. Spyro 1's worlds had enemies running about you could go after

[austere lance]

Yes? All 3 games have enemies running around all the time, as far as I'm aware

[cinder vessel]

Spyro 2 & 3...Maybe I'm just not remembering clearly, but I don't recall them having much of any enemies going on. More NPCs, sorta, yeah, but they all just sit by their portals

Nono, see I mean the hub worlds

🤔

Hmmm

Like I vividly remember some of Spyro 2's hub worlds having no enemies

The levels you visit branching off of those through the portals, absolutely yes

Sorry, the way I was describing it at first wasn't very clear

[austere lance]

I've only been to one hub world in Spyro 2 and didn't know it was a hub world cuz it had enemies 🤔

[cinder vessel]

🤔

[austere lance]

Lol

[cinder vessel]

Summer Forest, yeah?

[austere lance]

I think so. I'm probably crazy tho, I'll tell you when I play it again tomorrow 😄

[cinder vessel]

Might be mixing up game areas too, Spyro 2 kinda zips you through at the start

So where ya start isn't one of the hub worlds right away, but if you're new it may seem like it thanks to 1

i swear part of my brain is just cemented with Spyro trivia, lmao

[austere lance]

Lol

[rigid haven]

When I was a kid I used to play the opening cutscene of one of the games in different languages

[teal mason]

I played The Division with Japanese VO so I didn't need to hear Ramos a million times

[rigid haven]

Weeb

[winter yew]

C+C: TD and RA Remasters announced.
😩 💦

[cinder vessel]

aayy

[split fulcrum]

@winter yew oh man, I loved RA

[winter yew]

Me too, EA have promised all original DLC and no microtransactions/lootboxes too.

[split fulcrum]

@winter yew probably damage control in response to that c&c mobile fiasco

[winter yew]

That was a huge slap in the face that I'm sure has a LOT to do with the decisions for the remasters.

[split fulcrum]

@winter yew

[winter yew]

They're starting with the remasters to bring C+C back or something.

https://www.reddit.com/r/commandandconquer/comments/9x1zcz/cc_remastered_announcement_from_ea/

That's an official EA post.

[feral solar]

I have a hacked PSP with NES, SNES, Genesis, Turbografx, and GBA games. Can also play most PS1 games too.

[meager panther]

When will rdr2 come to pc

It's so good

I played for a few hours

And goddamn good

[cinder vessel]

lol

[reef storm]

@cinder vessel Was reading a little more about the Astroneer update and saw this: This will be Astroneer's final Early Access update, and anything that you see from here on out is a preview of the 1.0 version of the game. Also worth mentioning that saves from this last build (0.10.5.0) will not be compatible with the 1.0 version of Astroneer.

[winter yew]

Ohhhhh

I'll grab it as soon as it's out of Early Access.

dances

It looks a fun little game.

[reef storm]

Might as well get it now, since the price goes up $10 in a few days

[winter yew]

Good point.

[reef storm]

https://steamcommunity.com/games/361420/announcements/detail/1716330301599620916

That's the latest (and final early access) update

[meager panther]

Astroneer looks great

Much better than what it looked 1.5 years ago

[reef storm]

Definitely

Biggest thing in this update is they've added the Exotic moon with the new Terrain. Static seed, so everyone sees the same currently, but it's a good testbed for the rest of the Terrain 2.0 changes

[meager panther]

Oh nice

Haven't been following it

Does it have creatures now?

[reef storm]

It does not.

Not sure if/when that'll happen

[meager panther]

Oh ok

Would be a nice addition

[reef storm]

Definitely.

[gaunt hare]

I haven't been following Astroneer cause I don't have friends on PC

[reef storm]

😦

[winter yew]

Me either

[gaunt hare]

Game seems chiefly multiplayer

[meager panther]

I didn't follow becoz I got bored

Yeah

[winter yew]

I added people on Steam to play NMS and never played with any of them.

[meager panther]

Feels bored playing single player

Yep same as nms

[reef storm]

It's a good single player game, but is more fun in MP

[gaunt hare]

My brother was playing Subnautica and it looked fucking incredible :D I watched him play for a bit

[meager panther]

Like no NPCs/creatures in single player means it's a absent eco system

[gaunt hare]

I doubt he's going to return it at this point so hopefully soon I get to play

[reef storm]

Ahh so he did get it lol

[gaunt hare]

Gorgeous game.

[meager panther]

I need to get a new gaming rig

Then I can play all games on ultra

[gaunt hare]

I need to get a gaming rig

[reef storm]

I still need to get Subnautica.

[gaunt hare]

He's got a really good one but it has 8g ram

The only thing really holding it back

[teal mason]

I gotta replace my PSU cos my computer shuts itself off when it's on high load lmao

[winter yew]

Ouch

[reef storm]

oof

[gaunt hare]

That's a problem

[teal mason]

Think my current one just doesn't provide enough volt or someshit

[meager panther]

Or it's getting hot hot hot

[teal mason]

Maybe, but I have my air con on at night and it still happens

[winter yew]

Any of you guys ever play Morphite?
It's been in my wishlist for a while but I keep talking myself out of it.

[reef storm]

Haven't heard of it

[meager panther]

Morphine is meh

[teal mason]

Really fucks with me when I'm streaming lol

[meager panther]

It's a phone game like nms

[winter yew]

Phone game?

It's on Steam.

[meager panther]

Morphite is also on mobile too.But best part is it has creatures you can ride on and has birds that can perch on trees

[winter yew]

Oh damn

[teal mason]

A lotta phone games are on steam

[winter yew]

It does look fun.

[teal mason]

Steam is infested

[meager panther]

It's basically low poly nms

[winter yew]

To me it looks like the game in between Rodina and NMS.

[gaunt hare]

I played it on my phone a bit but then I didn't anymore

[meager panther]

TBH none of the games successfully implement the exploration aspect of sci fi space exploration game

😩

[winter yew]

I agree

[teal mason]

Because you need shit to make you invest your interest in

And it's hard for games like these to do it via computer generation

That's why I bring up M&B all the time lol you invest time into a town and you get all sorts of goodness in various forms

https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2018/11/original-command-conquer-devs-will-remaster-series-first-games-in-one-package/

[winter yew]

I am so buzzed for this.

[reef storm]

Me too

[winter yew]

All DLC, no microtransactions or lootboxes 😩

Just old school C+C with updated graphics.

[reef storm]

AND the original group of developers.

[winter yew]

As soon as I read that I was even more hyped.

EA keeping their dirty hands off of it.

Just publishing

[reef storm]

Klepacki's hire as part of the C&C Remastered team was announced today, and he joins other Westwood veterans Joe Bostic (the series' co-creator), Steve Tall (Red Alert's lead programmer), and Mike Legg (an audio team member since Westwood's 1986 inception).

Lemon Sky is doing the 4K assets, similar to what they did with Starcraft Remastered

[winter yew]

Oh very nice, I missed that part.

[reef storm]

Biggest hitch - "We haven't started development yet"

So....2020 perhaps

[winter yew]

That's a fair guess

Will be worth the wait for sure

[reef storm]

Definitely

[gaunt hare]

Command and Conquer?

Dude it was that mobile announcement fiasco

[winter yew]

Naw Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert are being remastered.

NVM, I re-read what you said again in a different way.

Yeah the mobile game is what got the remasters to be a thing.

[gaunt hare]

They are like "apparently there's still a loyal fanbase for a not shitty version of this"

[winter yew]

A lot of very vocal fans.

[gaunt hare]

Cue thousands of people saying "no shit" all at once.

[winter yew]

hahaha

[gaunt hare]

https://youtu.be/c4Bmlc68lVc

I dunno man... pretty cool.

[meager panther]

Nice

Is that new?

[gaunt hare]

It's obsidian ant playing. Certainly new to me.

[meager panther]

Ok

[gaunt hare]

He uploaded that yesterday

Rides a train. Explores a planet. Warps.

[meager panther]

I saw the citizen con demo of the cities and train system

Yeah

[gaunt hare]

....

it is not new

then

[meager panther]

Oh

When was this uploaded?

[gaunt hare]

Not to you, anyway. He uploaded it yesterday

It's him playing the new stuff

[meager panther]

Can't wait till they add in creature eco systems and procedural planets

[gaunt hare]

Looks cool. Not 20,000 dollars cool, but cool

[meager panther]

Citzen con showed some system of how they were spawning creatures

It was not at all procedural apparently

[reef storm]

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link//16840-Star-Citizen-Alpha-330

Most recent addition.

5 days ago, I think

[meager panther]

Nice

[gaunt hare]

I love space.

Space is the coolest thing in the whole world.

[reef storm]

Better one.

[bronze wind]

Space

[winter yew]

My favourite thing about space is how insanely massive it is. We'll never be able to explore even 1% of space.

So much we will never know or see.

[meager panther]

Yes that's what she said

[gaunt hare]

Sometimes I get sad when I think about how I'm never going to know what happens.

[meager panther]

It won't be that interesting tbh

[gaunt hare]

It's literally the most interesting thing

[meager panther]

Just stars frying nearby planets

[reef storm]

oooh... There's an actual term for that, okapi.....let me find it.

[gaunt hare]

What happens to the human race and whatnot

[meager panther]

You won't see a star put on a weird pfp like hexagonal

[winter yew]

True

[gaunt hare]

How things go

[meager panther]

It's called "call of the void"

I think

[gaunt hare]

I thought that was different

[winter yew]

Call of the void is the random thought of doing something you know will kill you.

"I should drive my car into this tree"

[meager panther]

Oh

Or like"make my pfp so atrocious"

[winter yew]

Yes

Exactly

[meager panther]

I am not interested that much tbh

I can just be happy with a nice paradise planet in swap for earth

[winter yew]

History repeats itself for the most part.

[gaunt hare]

Thanks Joseph

[meager panther]

So there will be another nuke dropped on Hiroshima? Is that what you mean

[reef storm]

👍

http://www.dictionaryofobscuresorrows.com/

[winter yew]

"for the most part"

[reef storm]

I know this is all #off-topic-bond-james-bond now, but it's interesting.

[gaunt hare]

Last night, my brother was playing subnautica, and a moon came out slowly from behind a planet in the night sky

During orbits

And he said

"wow that's really cool. I've never seen that happen in a game"

[meager panther]

Woe

Wow*

Since when did that happen in subnautica?

[gaunt hare]

"bruh I see that on the daily"

I guess you gotta look up

I witnessed it myself

Looked gorgeous.

[meager panther]

Been nearly a year since I played subnautica

[gaunt hare]

Ahh

Must have been an update

[meager panther]

I am actually looking at all the new games that keep coming out

And I not having any time

To play them

[gaunt hare]

I have the time

but no money

[meager panther]

I didn't say I can buy them all myself either lmao

Part of reason why I don't have time

[gaunt hare]

I'm working on a backlog, like everyone else.

[meager panther]

Gotta grind

[gaunt hare]

The problem is

I keep playing the same FOUR GAMES DAMN IT

[meager panther]

Hehe

I have finished nearly every Lego story games that come out

[gaunt hare]

Nerd.

[meager panther]

So

I still have the incredibles story left

It's pretty hilarious tbh

[gaunt hare]

The Incredibles

totally holds up.

Still haven't seen 2

[meager panther]

Like all the characters are goofy in all the Lego game stories

[gaunt hare]

That's what I'm hoping for KH3

all the characters are Goofy

[meager panther]

Kh3?

[winter yew]

Kingdom Hearts

😐

[meager panther]

Is it a card game?

[winter yew]

WTF

[meager panther]

Oh then?

Is it a mobile game then?

[winter yew]

I dunno if you're trolling or not.

[meager panther]

[gaunt hare]

You ruined my joke...

[meager panther]

I don't know lmao

[winter yew]

Hahahaha

[gaunt hare]

you not knowing what kingdom hearts is is funnier than my joke

[meager panther]

I don't know what kh is

[winter yew]

That's honestly the most impressive thing I've read today.

[gaunt hare]

Google it and tell me you don't know what that is

you probably just forgot the name

[meager panther]

Why is it that popular?

[winter yew]

Dude number 3 is about to release.

And you've not even heard of the other 2?

[meager panther]

Nope

[gaunt hare]

Good God man

[meager panther]

And googled it

And never heard of it

[gaunt hare]

How are you getting internet in that cave?

[meager panther]

It's pretty nice man cave

[winter yew]

Man I respect you so much more now.

Genuinely

I'm impressed

[gaunt hare]

That's pretty impressive.

[meager panther]

Oh it's got Disney characters

How did I not know of it

I played all the Disney infinity games

[winter yew]

They're fun too.

[meager panther]

So looks interesting

I can play it on mobile then?

What do I do In it?

[winter yew]

JRPG to keep it simple.

[gaunt hare]

Dude seriously

you're playing lego and disney infinity games

You know what

I figured it out

you're just a boy

That was before your time

And I'm the old man like "You haven't heard of Robocop? Everyone knows about Robocop"

[meager panther]

Lol I am 24+ years older

[gaunt hare]

I am

so confused.

[meager panther]

Why

I am also confused like how I didn't hear kingdom hearts so far

[gaunt hare]

I just don't know how you could be that age and playing the games you do and not know about kingdom hearts

its so popular in pop culture

and it was one of the biggest games on PS2

that's badass.

[meager panther]

TBH I haven't seen it before today

I am reading on it on Wikipedia now as I type

[winter yew]

They're genuinely fun and a very easy time sink.

An hour turns into 4-5 super easy.

[meager panther]

Nice

Can I play as Donald duck?

Or any of those characters?

[gaunt hare]

You play as a lame kid

who eventually hangs out with disney characters

and he has a giant key

and even bigger feet

[reef storm]

Robocop = best cop.

Though Dredd is a close second (original)

[gaunt hare]

Original for robocop too though

[reef storm]

Agreed

[gaunt hare]

original for pretty much anything thats been remade

[reef storm]

I'll gladly admit that the Dredd remake was good too

[meager panther]

Why does kingdom hearts not show up when I Google Disney games

[gaunt hare]

Ya it was pretty badass

[reef storm]

google squareenix games

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_Hearts

[meager panther]

Wtf you can come across Winnie the Pooh. How did I not see this game till today

Thx @gaunt hare and @winter yew for showing this game exists

[gaunt hare]

Alright then you got a deadline

you gotta beat the first two before the third comes out

[reef storm]

^

[meager panther]

Ok now I figured out why I haven't come across it so far

Coz it's not on the damn PC platform

😩

[reef storm]

rip

[meager panther]

And apparently kh2 was in 2006

And kh3 is also console exclusives fml

[reef storm]

Unfortunately, yeah. Which is why I'm saving for a PS4

I posted a pic yesterday of my original copies for the PS2

[meager panther]

Nice

So many console exclusives these days

Even ace combat is going console exclusive

Rip

[reef storm]

😦

That would be a fun one on PC

[meager panther]

Ye

I have the latest version of it

Was really fun

Realistic combat except for ammo count

[reef storm]

Here's all the bullets. Have fun.

[meager panther]

Ah that's what I mean

It had way too much missiles and stuff

[meager panther]

I did which is how I got to finish the game

[reef storm]

lol

[gaunt hare]

end of ze world

[austere lance]

I didn't really know anything about Kingdom Hearts til like 3 years ago, lol

[cinder vessel]

the only way to keep up with video games is to have at least three to four platforms at any given time tbh

[echo hill]

That's true lol

[bronze wind]

Kingdom hearts is also next to impossible to understand haha

[cinder vessel]

Kingdom Hearts is the Hegel of video games

[silver sparrow]

lol @gaunt hare i'm the guy you are talking to in the Long Dark server 😄

[gaunt hare]

My god....

[silver sparrow]

mein gott!

[gaunt hare]

You have good taste in games.

[silver sparrow]

i love a good walking sim 😛

[winter yew]

The Long Dark is one of my favourites for sure.

I only got the game last Friday so I'm very late to the party.

[cinder vessel]

huh, Little Dragons Café is on Steam now

[silver sparrow]

harvest moon + dragons?

[gaunt hare]

I've asked about The Long Dark over and over and no one said crap!

and they aren't walking sims!

you bashtard

[silver sparrow]

😢

[gaunt hare]

especially not the long dark

if you try and just walk around for a day you will die before the day is up

[winter yew]

I'm not that far into it.

Episode 2

[gaunt hare]

Are you playing story

STOP

delete it

[winter yew]

I'm enjoying the story.

[gaunt hare]

destroy it

[winter yew]

Plus episode 3 is due in December.

[gaunt hare]

Nah

they delayed it

but

[winter yew]

I'll be jumping on survival as soon as I'm done with the story.

[gaunt hare]

they are releasing a redux in december

the story of episode 1 and 2 is getting redone

so you might as well play the new one

also, your story save gets automatically deleted

when the new one starts

[winter yew]

I genuinely think this could eventually pass NMS as my most played game.

[gaunt hare]

I'll watch you stream your first survival game if you're down

[winter yew]

Too late for that my dude.

I stream on Twitch decently regular.

I haven't streamed The Lost Dark yet though

[reef storm]

What's your twitch link

[winter yew]

Nope

Not happening 😛

[reef storm]

awww

[winter yew]

I'm fine people not knowing who I am.

[silver sparrow]

it's bill gates

[winter yew]

OMG how you guess

I'm nobody

But yeah The Lost Dark is very nice.

I wish I played it a lot sooner.

[silver sparrow]

*long dark

[winter yew]

Yeah

[silver sparrow]

bill

[winter yew]

Thanks

I'm a n00bit to the game.

Also, I probably won't bother with the redux if I need to pay for it.

Cause I don't care much for graphics.

Looks nice as it is =\

[reef storm]

wow. It says that the first two episodes represent 15 hours of gameplay.

That's nice.

[winter yew]

It is a nice game.

I only did the story so I know what the hell I'm doing.

Did = doing*

I've not finished it yet.

I don't think I'm too far from end of episode 2.

[reef storm]

Experience modes: Interloper mode

TLD is NMS

[winter yew]

When do I unlock spaceship? 😩

[silver sparrow]

i am a pilgrim then

want to pet the wolves

[winter yew]

I enjoy firing flares at them too much.

Little shits

[reef storm]

I think a lot of people say this when playing CKII

[echo hill]

Holy Fu-

[reef storm]

Yes.

[thorn ice]

They just cut out

For no reason

I’ve seen it happen

Trippy as Fu-

https://kotaku.com/sony-pulls-out-of-e3-2019-1830474052

[echo hill]

Whaaattt

Why

That sucks

Though if you ask me, Sony's E3 this year wasn't great

[reef storm]

The move makes sense for Sony, as the company’s 2019 presser would presumably revolve around three of the four games it showcased last year: Death Stranding, The Last of Us 2, and Ghost of Tsushima, none of which currently have release dates. All three are expected to come out in the latter half of 2019 or later.

[echo hill]

Personally speaking

Ah okay I guess that makes sense

Since they aren't announcing anything new

Theoretically

[brisk merlin]

https://www.twitch.tv/anthemgame

[echo hill]

Honestly dude fuck Anthem

Fuck EA

They just need to dont

[brisk merlin]

bioware

[echo hill]

EA is behind it though aren't they?

[vestal raptor]

FREE SINS pretty good space game https://www.humblebundle.com/store/sins-of-a-solar-empire-rebellion

[austere lance]

I've now officially completed RDR 2's story. That was definitely an experience, holy hell

[echo hill]

Was it good?

[austere lance]

Full stream of customization in Anthem https://www.twitch.tv/videos/336326578

[echo hill]

I haven't played in a while

[austere lance]

Hell yes it was good

[echo hill]

How long was it?

[austere lance]

Also, Anthem has an unholy amount of customization 😍

[cinder vessel]

u can be devil? 😮

@echo hill I'll tell you how long my RDR 2 playthrough took after I finish watching the credits

[cinder vessel]

86 years later

[austere lance]

Lol

Usually I skip credits but there's story stuff happening during these

[echo hill]

Sweet

[cinder vessel]

epilogue 2

[cinder vessel]

kinda feel like people are taking for granted that the bulk of Bioware (I think) has been focusing on Anthem for several years now

hmm:

I put that video together on my ipad the other night... I was extremely bored and decided to try a bunch of tiger games lol

[echo hill]

Hahaha

[winter yew]

the Tea Tiger one was my favorite :p

the flying tiger one, oh my god those controls sucked

the racing one was kinda neat but there were constant ads

[cinder vessel]

Oooh, Surviving Mars is having a free weekend!

[reef storm]

Orly?

Hmmmm

[jade lake]

the soundtrack is awesome too, they got some real bangers

the community is super cool also

[cinder vessel]

huh, that's a decent stretch

[reef storm]

Yep. Different ships every day.

[cinder vessel]

i tried one of those awhile back briefly but it felt very much like what it is, an alpha, lol

[reef storm]

Lol. My system can't run it well enough any longer, so I'll have to eventually upgrade (mainly my CPU)

[cinder vessel]

Tbh after adjusting the settings a bunch it ran...Okayish, on my system, which is definitely not that spectacular

It really surprised me

[reef storm]

Yeah, I tried. Just couldn't get it to run smooth enough.

[cinder vessel]

Huh

[reef storm]

It's no big deal. I'll eventually upgrade anyway.

[cinder vessel]

What CPU are ya running atm?

[reef storm]

i5-6400

[cinder vessel]

Weird. I'm in about the same range

[reef storm]

Hmm. Maybe I'll give it another shot down the road

[cinder vessel]

When did ya last give it a try?

[reef storm]

6 months ago, probably

[cinder vessel]

Weird. Was probably around the same for me...I think

[reef storm]

lol

Could also be that it was on my HDD and not an SSD

[cinder vessel]

🤷 Was probably seeing similar performance to ya tbh, may just have a higher tolerance for sluggishness on my end

[reef storm]

Could be.

I might give it another shot next week

[cinder vessel]

I'll probably forget, but if I don't I might too

[reef storm]

Anyone happen to be in the Closed Beta for Camelot Unchained? If so - how is it so far?

PS experience returning, Most devs already have dev kits for ps5 ( Spoiler: It’s a monster), Sony prepping hard for ps5 and one of the reason for no e3 next year because they blew all their load this year and got nothing new to show next year (They want to show new stuff at psx)

It can run 4k at 60fps

Ps5 price projection is 500$ apparently

Ryzen 8 core

Nice

I guess

[winter yew]

Copying the plan of Microsoft by the looks of it.

Which is great for consumers.

[meager panther]

This was some guy on Reddit who got inside info

Anthem is getting delayed coz of this too

So this when released will be same level as high end PC's

Which means it can even run star Citizen

Lmao

[winter yew]

Lmao

[meager panther]

Ikr

My PC won't even compare to this console

😩

Mfw console is more powerful than a pc

[winter yew]

SHould be like that anyway tbh

Need to sell the consoles at a loss to earn the money from games.

[meager panther]

Guy gotta spill some info about star field

I guess nms is being prepped for ps5 too

[winter yew]

Will make development a lot easier tbh

Can ignore the base PS4 model with a great excuse.

Hopefully both Sony and Microsoft can pull the next gen off, the half versions of both consoles were a genuine kick in the nuts.

I paid £500 for my base XB1 and my GF paid about the same for a base PS4.

Both are practically useless and this generation isn't even finished yet.

Useless is the wrong word to use but you know what I mean.

[meager panther]

Yeah

My buggy PC is better than base ps4

Also tgis

No Breaker Box

Has a Camera (DS5 is going to have that too)

New Ps move controllers

They are also testing some gloves to go with the vr

[winter yew]

ono 😦

I hope a camera less option is available.

[meager panther]

Why

What's wrong with a camera

[winter yew]

Cause I literally have no reason for a camera to play games.

[meager panther]

Oh right

I guess it's for VR and stuff

[winter yew]

I guess

[cinder vessel]

I genuinely get the feeling Sony's gonna fuck up their next console somehow

I don't want them to, but I just have this gut feeling

Then again, people say they fucked up the PS3 (which, in terms of how they handled marketing it, absolutely), and I enjoyed that so who knows

[meager panther]

PS4 sold 100 Million units

Ps5 is apparently insane monsterly powerful

And it's only 100$ pricier

There is no way they can fuck up

[brisk merlin]

...what

Where are you hearing this

[meager panther]

Some guy who has inside info

Let me find that thrrad

[brisk merlin]

TAKE WITH SALT

[meager panther]

He told Sony won't appear at e3 two days before official announcement

So it is credible lol

[brisk merlin]

Ok

May be a coincidence

That's the thread

[cinder vessel]

random person on the internet, takin' it with a grain of salt

(saw it before it was posted here & was skeptical, remain so obvs)

my gut tells me these corps go in cycles of can do no wrong success to whoops we fucked up (xbox 360 to xbox one, ps2 to ps3)

(wii to wii u)

[meager panther]

TBH seeing it's specs I might actually get it instead of a PC if it's price is 500$

[cinder vessel]

supposing the specs even hold true too

[brisk merlin]

Waste of money imo

[meager panther]

We will probably know in a year I guess

[cinder vessel]

really depends on the exclusives lineup more than anything else imo

great if they have specs but if there's nothing to play on it, lmao waste to buy early

Dark Souls 3 finished

that was a worthwhile trilogy of games tbh

I thoroughly enjoyed all of them
