idle saffron
#

Yeah, throwback shooter

jade lake
#

it looks like a lot of fun

#

might wait for winter sale tho

idle saffron
#

Supposed to be fast paced

#

Never tried it myself

#

Ohhh - probably cause it hasn’t released

#

Lol, one site says dec 2018, the other January 2018 - which is it

raven frost

#

wow

#

thats pathetic

rugged dove
#

Welp, Wildstar has finally shut down today.

jade lake
#

rip

raven frost
#

what was wildstar?

rugged dove
#

It was an MMO. The best one I've ever played, honestly.

#

I'll let someone else explain it because if I go into detail I legit might start crying

raven frost
#

I don't mean to shit on your funeral but was it one of those mmos that was advertised to change everything about mmos

rigid haven
#

My brother and I found a scorchbeast in Fallout 76!!!

#

It was so coool

#

I thought it'd be a boring thing but it shot these fucking projectiles at us and sprayed the ground with radiation that managed to take us out in a few seconds

charred badge
#

Wuldstar was supposed to be a sci-fi action mmorpg, which got hype since they're rare

How the fuck did Bethesda's manufacturer fuck up a canvas bag

echo hill
#

Has anyone played red dead online yet? Is it fun?

meager panther
#

this is apparently from a game

winter yew
#

Star Citizen.

meager panther
#

ye

idle saffron
#

That’s not a game, it’s a tech demo

meager panther
#

its a scam

#

/s

winter yew
#

I won't ever play Star Citizen.

idle saffron
#

I might when it becomes a full game

#

2025

winter yew
#

That'll be when I play it too.

#

Hence why I'm never going to play it.

idle saffron
#

Lol

winter yew
#

It does look a nice game tbh.

reef storm
#

It does.

meager panther
#

it is, but i cant play it either

#

:/

winter yew
#

I've never tried.

#

I hope it does get a full release one day.

full pivot
#

Thats so weird... I'm watching a minidoc about star citizen

#

I'm actually kinda weirded out now haha 😅

reef storm
#

I'm sure it'll get a full release, though I'm still not expecting it for 2 more years

brisk merlin
#

SC runs a lot better than it used to

full pivot
#

Ill stick to Elite Dangerous for now

reef storm
#

^

#

Though X4..... 👌

winter yew
#

I've never played ED.

brisk merlin
#

Star citizen has more to do it feels

reef storm
#

SC definitely has more, but it's also a MUCH smaller playarea overall

winter yew
#

The wife always hates when I play ED = " Why do you keep charging your friendship drive?"

brisk merlin
#

...honestly I would say atm that sc was more worth it

reef storm
#

I'll charge your friendship drive

brisk merlin
#

OWO

full pivot
#

Yeah I prolly will play X4 all weekend haha

#

I haven't really touched ED ina while

reef storm
#

Same.

brisk merlin
#

What really is X4

reef storm
#

Think single player ED with a lot more to do.

#

Something I thought about while watching ObsidianAnt's stream - "This is like EVE, except single player and correct flight controls"

reef storm
#

@winter yew Going back to watch the X4 strem since I fell asleep lol

winter yew
#

Get ready for maximum hype, each time I see something I got more hype 😛

reef storm
#

Hah

#

I will

#

I loved the EVA earlier

meager panther
#

How is x4 hype worthy?

#

Are there planets?

#

And stuff

#

Never heard of it tbh

#

Lol

reef storm
winter yew
#

That link will be easier than what I was typing out tbf

reef storm
#

LOL

full pivot
#

I still remember trying to claim abandoned ships in earlier x universe games, so nerve wracking 😭

#

Having to get out and do it

reef storm
#

I think it's the same in this one

full pivot
#

Good, I like that feeling haha

#

I like it less when I'm trying to escort it to a station and pirates raid and destroy it like 10 feet from a jump gate to a safer system

reef storm
#

💢

#

😠

#

That's infuriating

#

Oh wow

#

The hyperlanes are cool

full pivot
#

I'm tempted to watch this live stream but at the same time I kind's don't 😖

reef storm
#

LOL

#

Are you going to stream it when you pick it up?

full pivot
#

If I put it on at home ill likely just fall asleep tho

#

Tempting idea

#

It would certainly be better than Call of Cthulu which was my last one

reef storm
#

Hah. Definitely

full pivot
#

But I did that cuz I wanted to capture my impression of it

#

After it judged me for drinking whiskey

reef storm
#

Lol

#

At least check out the hyperlane thing

full pivot
#

Can you dm it to me so I can look when I get home? In almost outta here

meager panther
#

What is this?

#

🤔

#

Is obsidian same as the one developing star field?

teal mason
#

obsidian made NV

#

except most of the OG Fallout crowd left Obsidian already

meager panther
#

actually obsidian was developing star field i think they filed the trade mark for it

winter yew
#

Obsidian is owned by Microsoft now though.

meager panther
#

even better

#

more monet for game

#

money*

winter yew
#

Yeah and they've even just give their studios practically unlimited budgets for their games.

meager panther
#

hope we get a good nms type game

winter yew
#

We do it's called NMS.

meager panther
#

with more varied planets and shit to explore

winter yew
#

ME: A was supposed to be proc gen planets but they couldn't work out the technology.

austere lance
#

Oh yeah, Obsidian made KotOR 2

#

And that South Park game 😄

winter yew
#

Obsidian is a gem in the gaming world.

meager panther
#

nice then

#

i hope they dont fuck up with this game then?

winter yew
#

Can only hope but it's doubtful they will fuck it up.

topaz wedge
#

Bioshock vibes, I'm expecting something like a satire

austere lance
#

I get that people enjoy their stuff like Pillars of Eternity but I'm hoping for a good third-person or first-person game

#

Gimme the space version of Dishonored 😄

meager panther
#

i want a 100 % sci fi exploration game :/

austere lance
#

Prey 2 before it got canceled 😭

#

I was SO FUCKING HYPED

#

Now I'm sad again, it looked so cool

winter yew
#

😐

austere lance
#

FUCK YOU BETHESDA

#

THEY HAD SEQUELS PLANNED

winter yew
#

I never gave the first one a chance tbf.

austere lance
#

I didn't give a crap about the first one, the second looked 😍 😍 😍 tho

full pivot
#

prey 2 got cancelled cuz bethedsa was concerned about quality sean

#

they had to focus on making sure Fallout 76 was top quality first

#

if you think im just making it up i might be wrong but its what i heard about Prey 2 honestly

austere lance
#

It was "going a different direction from what Bethesda intended" 🙄

#

So it was an actually unique game that was different from their usual stuff, lol

full pivot
#

you know theyre starting to sound a lot like every other AAA entity these days

#

the phraseology is all the same

austere lance
#

Morons

full pivot
#

theyre also always "listening to the fans" when the fans are telling them to stop

#

or to not stop in that case

austere lance
#

I wanted a badass bounty hunter game 😭

full pivot
#

ik the feeling ive been hit hard by several cancelled games recently

#

or ones i found out were gonna be made but were stopped before even starting

fiery fog
#

ive been sad about recent triple a business

#

like, fallout 76 was a broken mess, artifact is from what i've heard just a money sink, a lot of big companies with releases this year have just put out tat

#

i got hope tho... eventually yanno
something good'll come i guess

#

Go Indie ™

cinder vessel
#

indie's basically the best bet for games, unless you're after Hyper High Fidelity Graphics™

fiery fog
#

yeah no lmao

#

i'm on chipset rn

cinder vessel
#

i know those feels

fiery fog
#

imagine having a dedicated GPU
this post made by chipset gang

austere lance
#

The only recent AAA game that has delivered for me is RDR 2, other than that all my games are at least a year old 😄

fiery fog
#

oh yeah! goddamn

#

rdr2 looks GOOD

#

rockstar still got it lmfao

austere lance
#

You just get it? @fiery fog

fiery fog
#

nah, but ive seen footage and gameplay and shit

#

im outta cash atm and my card's been dead for months

austere lance
#

Damn

#

I feel you, I only got it cuz a friend gave it to me

jade lake
#

soo

#

that obsidian rpg

#

i hope it isnt isometric

#

im still excited tho because its being made by the fallout 1 and 2 devs

teal mason
#

yeah even with only maybe half of the og big heads I'm still rather optimistic with Obsidian

#

speaking of which I hope Wasteland 3 will better than 2

jade lake
#

definitely

#

2 is underwhelming imo

teal mason
#

Brian Fargo need to not fuck up thoinking

jade lake
#

i just really hope its not a stale isometric rpg which it likely is

#

eh

#

i know obsidian can knock it out of the park but im not really a fan of their POE games

teal mason
#

I like the isometric-ness of it tbh

#

also I don't even remember if Chris Avellone has a hand in Wasteland 3

#

he's probably too busy workin on Dying Light 2

raven frost
#

I think I'm gonna sign up just for the fun of it

full pivot
#

I’m so hyped for X4 now 😭

jade lake
#

ye it looks pretty good

full pivot
#

Now I really hope I don’t get forced OT on the weekend so I can binge it hahaha

topaz wedge
#

Just bought the Collector's Edition on GOG

winter yew
#

11 hours to wait 😩

full pivot
#

Yay no weekend so far!! I actually ain't been this excited since XCOM 2

#

and that did not disappoint

winter yew
#

I haven't been this excited since NMS 😛

#

I am not going much sleep this weekend at all.

#

Today is the start of my Christmas break so I might even play a good amount next week.

full pivot
#

I just wish they had let me pre-load it before work tonite haha

#

Cuz with my internet it'll take too long tomorrow so I wont get to look at it before tmrrw night 😭

winter yew
#

Oh that sucks 😦

full pivot
#

The live stream said it was around 10gb so mebbe it'll be ok

topaz wedge
#

says 12 GB recommended

full pivot
#

Which I'm gonna finish watching now cuz there's literally nothing to do at work again haha

#

Well I'm good as long as it aint like 50

winter yew
#

I watched Wednesday and Thursday streams and my GF said I need to get a life 😦

topaz wedge
#

#

winter yew

meager panther
#

Discord broke

#

For me

#

🙃

topaz wedge
#

good morning 😛

full pivot
#

Mornin xD

#

Still watching that vod

topaz wedge
#

So far, is it better than Rebirth?

full pivot
#

Thats a given

#

It looks better than terrain conflict which is more of a competitor

topaz wedge
#

great, just like you I'll only be able to see it tonight, but no problem since the game will also unlock tonight for me

#

7 hours...

full pivot
#

I'm happy that supercruise (travel mode) is a thing instead of the awkward SETA thing all the time which is still there

#

That and the space lanes

#

Just makes some of the tedious things from X2-3 much less so

topaz wedge
#

Whose stream are you accompanying? ObsiantAnt?

full pivot
#

Yup

winter yew
#

His voice REALLY annoys me and I don't know why.

meager panther
#

Can't wait for star field reveal

full pivot
#

His slow thought processes somewhat grate on me but I'm trying to be chill haha

meager panther
#

So much to look forward to In December: star field, infinity war 2 trailer and then a new game from obsidian and also sq42 release road map too

brisk merlin
#

Star field what

meager panther
#

Star field trailer or some stuff

brisk merlin
#

How do you know

meager panther
#

I mean it could be the what obsidian is counting down to

#

Same studio

winter yew
#

Obsidian's game is called The Outer Worlds IIRC.

meager panther
#

The one for which countdown is there?

winter yew
#

Yes

brisk merlin
#

meager panther
#

Oh

#

brisk merlin

winter yew
#

Yeah

cinder vessel
#

meager panther
#

It's hexs next pfp

brisk merlin
#

I want to know where gamer got the idea about Warfield from

winter yew
#

I've already been a Squircle 😛

meager panther
#

@brisk merlinidk I read somewhere on reddit

brisk merlin

brisk merlin

winter yew
brisk merlin
#

One of the first generations

meager panther
#

No ww3 will start soon

#

Then

#

Since you refused to use the cirquare of peace

winter yew
#

Nice, you can thank me later.

meager panther
#

Yeah

#

😘

full pivot
#

The outer worlds? Are they the ones making the official Outer Wilds?

winter yew
#

I don't think so.

full pivot
#

Cuz ive been waiting on that forever

winter yew
#

Honestly, I forgot about it.

full pivot
#

Nah nvm Mobius Digital...

cinder vessel
#

go go Outer Wilds

winter yew
#

"Coming 2018"

#

I believe that is a lie.

brisk merlin
#

Suprised release lmao

meager panther
#

If it launched on 31st December 2018, it's still true

#

😂

full pivot
#

Its a bit ridiculous considering there was a mostly complete version

brisk merlin
#

If it launched on 32nd December 2018, it's still true

winter yew
#

GOOD point

meager panther
#

I hate todd being so secretive on star field

#

Show some shit

#

Hype up

brisk merlin
#

It's ne3

#

Nee

full pivot
#

No, avoid all hype

brisk merlin
#

NEW

winter yew
#

He's only showing as much as he showed for FO76

meager panther
#

So pretty much everything?

cinder vessel
#

his whole butt?

brisk merlin
#

Owo

meager panther
#

Mooning

winter yew
#

Hahaha

topaz wedge
#

I'm already hyped for Starfield, even more than I was for FO76

full pivot
#

Idk what you mean I, as a player, make a tremendous NPC

cinder vessel
#

same i just keep repeating lines that while once mildly appealing rapidly become the mantras of a hellish existence

crisp sparrow
#

Starfield is 2D though

#

space terraria

meager panther
#

What

winter yew
#

😩

topaz wedge
#

no?

full pivot
#

Or something like Interstellaria?

meager panther
#

Star field is 3d

crisp sparrow
#

wait what

meager panther
#

Did u see the reveal trailer?

cinder vessel
#

you mean Starbound?

meager panther
#

Lmao

full pivot
#

At least thematically that'd be nice

crisp sparrow
#

oh F

#

yeah I was thinking of Starbound, my bad

full pivot
#

Idk I love that 70s sci-fi aesthetic haha

cinder vessel
#

ayy is all good Souka

topaz wedge
#

I guess Outer Worlds will be a mix from Cyberpunk and space exploration

crisp sparrow
#

I want more space games

#

I loved Alien Isolation and Prey

meager panther
#

I want sci fi exploration games

cinder vessel
#

Astroneer 👀

winter yew
#

🤔

cinder vessel
#

but also Outer Wilds whenever it decides to emerge

brisk merlin
#

Starmade

cinder vessel
#

Starlove

crisp sparrow
#

astroneer too cartoony

full pivot
#

Pfft!!

meager panther
#

I don't want astroneer

#

Too blocky

#

No ecosystem

full pivot
#

I would say Starbound is cartoony if anything

#

Space Engineers

meager panther
#

Bleh

cinder vessel
#

meager panther
#

Spcae engineer is so meh

#

I tried playing it.couldnt get myself to play it after a hour

full pivot

So what would not be meh then?

crisp sparrow

No Man's Sky 2

winter yew

Thats playing with fire innit

cinder vessel

No mans battlefront

crisp sparrow
#

No Man's Battlegrounds

full pivot
#

People forget how much EA destroyed that solid franchise

#

Somehow

cinder vessel
#

so many games so little time

full pivot
#

Twice, after people fell for it a second time haha

winter yew
#

6 hours Joe 😩

reef storm
#

Astroneer = decent exploration, fun base builder
Space Engineers = mile wide, inch deep sandbox. Fun building mechanics
Hellion = Survival sandbox in a space station

full pivot
#

Maybe ill stay up till 11 or noon and see if it'll download before I sleep

crisp sparrow
#

Good thing I'm not much of a gamer, I don't have a list anymore

reef storm
#

Thoose are my 3

crisp sparrow
#

literally installed steam for the first time this month

#

NMS the only game

reef storm
#

I know, Hex. Much excite

crisp sparrow
#

before this I was playing pirated minecraft and before that, PUBG Mobile

winter yew
#

Wow, you haven't even lived.

full pivot
#

Idk what to even say

crisp sparrow
#

yeah lol before that I was just playing nintendo games and that also very limited

full pivot
#

As someone gaming since I was 5 I cant relate really

crisp sparrow
#

just Pokemon

#

then emulated metroid and a couple castlevania games

#

Oh yeah advance wars too

winter yew
#

My goodness.

crisp sparrow
#

that's all

winter yew
#

They are good choices of games though tbf

reef storm
#

Castlevania 👌

#

Especially the anime

crisp sparrow
#

never played any console games outside of nintendo until now

#

by emulating PS2 to play Silent Hill 2, 3 & 4

full pivot
#

Well first off, emulating SH3 is impossible to get right so it'll ruin the experience sadly

#

And make sure its not the HD collection for 2 or 3

crisp sparrow
#

huh? it ran perfectly for me

full pivot
#

I severely doubt that

crisp sparrow
#

I think there was some bug with the rendered cutscenes but I had to just disable something and it ran fine

#

same with SH2

#

dont recall anything that ruined the experience

full pivot
#

No there are things it has to disable or render differently because the nature of the PS2 and also SH3 pushed some of its capabilities to the limit

topaz wedge
#

PCSX has several builds and hack options that bypass specific in-game bugs. Ace Combat 5 is one case with texture glitches, so maybe there's one for SH 2 as well.

full pivot
#

The best experience will still be on PS2 for both of them is all in saying

crisp sparrow
#

yes like I said there was a bug with the cutscenes dropping frames but there was something that I had to disable that I can't recall right now but doing that fixed it

full pivot
#

Non HD collection

crisp sparrow
#

oh yea direct consoles will always be better but like I said I dont remember anything that made me feel like I wasn't geting the best

topaz wedge
#

It's not that direct consoles are better, the fault is usually from the display

crisp sparrow
#

those games ran smoothly

topaz wedge
#

PS2 was made to use a CRT TV

full pivot
#

Its the way that the PS2 was built as well

#

Def dont emulate shadow of the colossus though; unless they really improved pcsx

topaz wedge
#

there are still glitches

full pivot
#

I mean its just easier to get it on ps3 or 4 at this point though

topaz wedge
#

oh, yeah, surely, even more now that it had a remake for PS4

full pivot
#

As far as silent hill 2 and 3 I'm prolly just being too snooty about them cuz I loved them so much haha

crisp sparrow
#

same

#

but nah they ran pretty perfectly for me, no dropped frames

#

mind you I ran on integrated graphics
Nvidia 920mx or something lower I dont remember

full pivot
#

Maybe they finally fixed everything I havent really messed with that program in many years

crisp sparrow
#

I played just last year

#

on PSX2 I think

#

and I wanna try Citra again on PC, its already so good
but eh too addicted to NMS for now to bother

full pivot
#

All my focus for now is gonna be on X4

winter yew
#

Same

reef storm
#

I might have to wait on X4 and just live vicariously through you guys.

winter yew
#

😮

reef storm
#

Yeah. Spent more than I thought on Christmas and bills.

winter yew
#

Worth it though.

crisp sparrow
#

what's X4

reef storm
#

Christmas? Yeah. Bills? Meh...

full pivot
#

Sorry to hear that Joe 😭

topaz wedge
reef storm
#

It's alright, Aethena. I still may get it, just take a few bucks from the grocery money lol

full pivot
#

Now this night just needs to go faster already

topaz wedge
#

btw, no preload makes it even slower lol

full pivot
#

ikr!?

#

I coulda been downloading it while at work 😓

crisp sparrow
#

oh god X4 looks so amazing

#

if they pull it off

winter yew
#

"if they pull it off"

reef storm
#

Considering they have a pretty successful line of games now, I think they will 😃

crisp sparrow
#

yeah

reef storm
#

But it definitely is the most ambitious one they've developed

crisp sparrow
#

I mean this looks too ambitious but I see they have had a history on this concept

full pivot
#

I mean its out in 6 hours so

crisp sparrow
#

thanks I found the game to move on to once I'm done with NMS

idle saffron
#

It was being live streamed a couple days ago

#

They pulled it off already

crisp sparrow
#

damn that's great

winter yew
#

Nobody is ever done with NMS.

#

You just take a break from it.

idle saffron
#

NEVER

crisp sparrow
#

hey that's what I thought for minecraft

reef storm
#

You just take a break from it.

#

This. Exactly.

teal mason
#

Yeah, I'm taking a permanent break from Minecraft

crisp sparrow
#

yeah but idk unless they add some more major stuff I can see this game becoming boring to me once I'm done with everything

winter yew
#

NMS has had nothing but that since release.

crisp sparrow
#

oh true

#

well let's see then Its only been a week for me

full pivot
#

Ive been still coming down off the overuse of Factorio; that games breaks last months or years haha

winter yew
#

I never played Factorio 😦

full pivot
#

Its addictive, and then you get burned out on it badly

#

At least I do

reef storm
#

First person Factorio

crisp sparrow
#

ooh what's factorio

winter yew

I guess that's an advantage.

Also, spaghetti goes a long way 😛

winter yew

But hey you can play X4 now.

reef storm

Also, I'm not sure what Todav is.

I love image glitches.

Yeah, that's weird lol

#

How? It's Steam.

topaz wedge

it's DEFINITELY not a Y there

it's a perfect V

I have had similar stuff happen to me just from resizing images.

ur a perfect V.

I also can't wait to play the Miami mod for FO4 😩

idle saffron
#

They made another mod for fallout 4 - it makes the game trash and removes NPCs

#

They call it 76

#

OOOOOO

reef storm
#

Damn.

winter yew
#

lmao

full pivot
#

Hahaha

#

You can be... Whoever you want to be

rigid haven
#

Speaking of 76, I finally got a shishkebab

#

Hooray

idle saffron
#

Hit everything

rigid haven
#

I would but I'm not a high enough level GWnanamiKonataCry

full pivot
#

I became a bounty hunter; I stood still as people attacked me and then took them by surprise by attacking later

rigid haven
#

I was playing with my brother when we found someone's camp. He was over encumbered so he went to throw things in the stash while I went off to terrorise woodcutter robots. When I came back, this wanted guy in yellow power armour was spinning up a minigun and destroying the house

#

The game is a bit boring but it's great

full pivot
#

If its fun at all thats what matters for the most part; there are issues with the development side but thats a while nother thing

#

I just think ppl need to learn to be a bit more wary of previews haha

rigid haven
#

True

#

It's a real shame that everything around it went a bit to shit

full pivot
#

I get a lot of hate for dismissing previews at e3 and then similarly when not hating a game that doesnt live up to previews I wasn't given

#

Just flip that around and It'll be better for everyone haha

#

Be skeptical of previews and more welcoming of releases

rigid haven
#

That's a good thing to live by, yeah

idle saffron
#

Yeah play what you enjoy - I played nms since launch - it might have had a bug or problem or 2 - managed to enjoy it

rigid haven
#

I just get excited for games I think I'll like and then, depending on the media and such, hype for other things

full pivot
#

Its like Cyberpunk, I think the biggest hurdle is getting past the hype

rigid haven
#

Yeaaah

full pivot
#

Ill prolly love the game regardless of how it turns out; but I'm not normal

rigid haven
#

The hype is huuuuge

#

And I doubt they'll be able to work up to it

idle saffron
#

I ignore the chirping - I watch a couple gameplay vids if I’m not already sure to get a feel for a game

full pivot
#

Same and lets plays can solidify that after release

#

Ive bought way more videogames after the LP stuff

idle saffron
#

Nice

#

@winter yew 3 hours

winter yew

😩

reef storm
#

I knowwww

winter yew
#

I'm hoping the download starts just as I start eating dinner.

#

So it can be finished when I am finished. 😛

reef storm
#

Hah. Nice

#

Can you set a game to DL the moment it unlocks?

winter yew
#

I honestly don't know.

reef storm
#

Doesn't look like it ,at least from context menu

full pivot
#

Thats why normally they do pre load 😭

reef storm
#

I know 😦

rigid haven
#

I love it when games do preloads

#

even better if it's, like, a week of preload

reef storm
#

Anticipation off the charts when you see that.

#

ITS DOWNLOADING!!! can't play for 6 days

full pivot
#

But with slow internet it helps a lot

reef storm
#

This is true.

#

can't play for 2 days

#

lol

bronze wind
#

You guys talking about X4?

reef storm
#

yis

winter yew
#

Obviously

bronze wind
#

Nice

#

I might check it out tbh

#

Normally I don't like space games with no planet landing but you can land in stations so that's kinda cool

winter yew
#

Yeah and they're decently big.
Can also build your own space station if that's your kinda thing, it is mine.

#

I'm gunna build the biggest and worst looking space station I possibly can.

reef storm
#

I might get The Crew 2 because of this

winter yew
#

Burnout 😩

reef storm
#

I love Wreckfest, and I doubt Crew 2 will get to that level, but still.... Demo Derby!

winter yew
#

Oh nice, I skipped The Crew 2 also.

#

I enjoyed first one a hell of a lot.

reef storm
#

Same.

teal mason
#

I got Crew 2 in Blacl Friday, you probably missed a big sace there if you're not getting it thru resellers

reef storm
#

True, but the Steam Christmas sale is coming soon. Bet it'll be on there.

Oh no... That is coming lobosGasp

Its good to know I'm not alone as a Lobos fan 😜

bronze wind
#

WELCOME TO THE WOLF PACK

#

Haven't watched him as much recently but watched quite a lot a few months back during school

full pivot
#

I honestly watch him to sleep mostly because he never gets too loud and has a nice voice in general

#

I can almost never catch him live either

bronze wind
#

Yeah I watched to destress, cause he's just a cool dude and isn't trying to be edgy or insulting

#

I caught a few live streams, including a few lobro streams

full pivot
#

He's also chill with his opinions on stuff its usually "I really like it" or "I didn't really like it" haha

bronze wind
#

For sure

#

Instead of "i hate it and it sucks you should all hate it too"

#

Which is common online lol

full pivot
#

Which I like cuz he didn't even hate on NMS when it released; the only person I watched who did that

bronze wind
#

I haven't seen him hate on anything really, other than out of frustration when playing some more difficult/intentionally annoying games like boshi

#

I didn't watch much of that though because that game is just annoying to watch lol

full pivot
#

Yeah he got a little heated racing chocobos in ffx recently

#

But him heated is tame compared to most popular lets play ppl or streamers

#

My ears didn't bleed

bronze wind
#

haha yeah absolutely

#

He'll just kinda grumpily mumble something

#

If he yells it's usually not out of anger either which is nice

#

I suppose he has to have patience given his usual streaming content tho haha

full pivot
#

Its true haha

#

And he enjoys dying a lot to learn a boss and defeat it, which is the part that normally frustrates ppl

bronze wind
#

I wish I could like grab a beer with him or something lol, seems like he'd be such a cool guy irl

full pivot
#

I'm just glad it proves that you can be popular and normal

#

Don't gotta be pewdiepie or avgn

bronze wind
#

Yes exactly

#

You can be a cool person online without being an annoying or hateful person.

reef storm
#

Who we talking about?

bronze wind
#

LobosJr

reef storm
#

Ah

bronze wind
#

A streamer who primarily streams Dark Souls challenges or playthroughs, but does some other stuff

#

Like he has Final Fantasy Fridays and will pick up new games when they come out and play through those at his own pace

reef storm
#

Ah. Nice

bronze wind
#

I believe he started doing Darksiders 3 recently

#

which is nice cause I wanted to see gameplay of that and he'd be a good source for me

full pivot
#

Actually changed my mind about the soulsborne series, made me like it more

bronze wind
#

I had enjoyed it a bit but wasn't a huge fan of the online component

#

Watching him is even better cause he doesn't really participate in PvP, and seems to feel sorta similar to me on it

full pivot
#

Same

bronze wind
#

Are you on his discord server as well?

full pivot
#

Yup

bronze wind
#

noice

#

I don't really talk there but I pop in to see what's going on every once in a while

full pivot
#

Once in a while I do but not a ton haha

bronze wind
#

Yeah I just waste all my time in here moan

full pivot
#

I'm most active here cuz I just found it recently haha

#

And its actually chill

bronze wind
#

Probably the only place I've felt compelled to stay active in

#

I mean I joined Discord to come here so I'm also biased lol

full pivot
#

Haha that would do it!

#

Hnnng 2 hours to X4... Then download time

bronze wind
#

😩

#

I need to check it out more

#

How much does it $$$?

full pivot
#

Uh $50 I think

bronze wind
#

not too bad

full pivot
#

Considering it looks finished too thats a great start lately haha

bronze wind
#

also true haha

full pivot
#

Actually it looks super cool I can't wait

Basically building off X3 and looks to improve on everything

Yes Gleam, I am.

lul X4 getting some bad reviews for it being too alpha

idle saffron

🤷

winter yew

This is the great thing about reviews is that it allows people to post what they think about the game.

crisp sparrow
#

not surprised

winter yew
#

You bought NMS knowing the reviews it got, just saying 😛

crisp sparrow
#

and I wont be surprised it all gets patched within days

idle saffron

I gave it a negative review because I can’t play it

Oh yeah - part of the X series is a few patches in a few weeks lol

I'll try to get closer though

bronze wind

That's why I'm slightly hesitant, but I like that you can dock

#

You can walk around once you've docked right?

idle saffron
#

You got space legs

full pivot
#

yeah and you can land on larger ships and walk around on them too

bronze wind

Oh neat

reef storm

And you can EVA while in space

idle saffron

bronze wind

lol yeah I saw someone mention that yesterday

#

Either you or hex

#

Pretty funny

austere lance
#

No landing on planets?

bronze wind

naw

is what made me sad initially too

#

It's kinda like inverted NMS lol

#

Lots to do in space, nothing on land

idle saffron
#

They need to hook up

bronze wind
#

Although there's plenty of stuff to do in NMS, just not much depth to it

#

In terms of in space stuff

reef storm

Swapped to explorer start. Incoming pics.

idle saffron

full pivot
#

yeah the X-Universe series has always been focused on space only

Can you buy new ships?

the walking around bits in X4 are a huge leap for them

Yes Dan.

Looks like it connects to something and forms the legs

reef storm

#

gonna def take the explorer haha

reef storm
bronze wind
#

neat

full pivot
#

that blew my mind

#

the way in which theyve enhanced buying and building a ship, and equipping it

#

used to be WAY more tedious

#

actually all the UI seems much much more intuitive; not that it was terrible before

meager panther
#

are there planet stuff in it?

reef storm
#

Nope. Can't land on planets.

bronze wind
#

What do you do with the planets?

#

Scan or send out for resources or something?

reef storm
#

Not sure yet.

bronze wind
#

Okey doke

meager panther
#

oh so only space stuff hmm?

full pivot
#

sometimes in story missions you'll land on a planet but that's it

#

and its just a cinematic

#

at least as far as X2 and X3 went

meager panther
#

oh

topaz wedge
#

way more space stuff tho

full pivot
#

hey @reef storm any bugs yet?

#

cuz ik i saw only like 2 in the preview stream

reef storm
#

Nothing yet, but again - still trying things out

full pivot
#

well lemme know cuz there seems to be this notion already on Steam that its so buggy its unplayable

#

but im feeling skeptical

#

games already got a "mixed" rating after being out for an hour 😐

topaz wedge
#

they were quite evasive

reef storm
#

Warrior starter ship

#

a lot of these questions are related to the initial reveal from 2017

meager panther
#

lmao first question: Can you land on planets?
No. 😩

full pivot
#

well what im seeing is specifically dedicated to 'too many bugs to even be playable' and 'controls so wonky its unplayable'

#

but seeing as Joe is still playing...

topaz wedge
#

Yeah, there's not much updated info

reef storm
#

Lol

#

Already one hotfix

full pivot
#

works for me i guess its a good thing i can't get games right on launch

reef storm
#

Which I actually did see that second bullet once

#

But it was literally a half second and gone

full pivot
#

yknow the one thing i never understand when games release tho are multiplayer focused games that "crash on launch" because "the servers are too overloaded"

#

like the servers should be a top priority

#

why do they always fail

topaz wedge
#

$$$

bronze wind
#

It's hard to mimic actual load

topaz wedge
#

predicting and hosting servers to hold boom is hard and expensive

#

specially for games that aren't AAA

bronze wind
#

There's generally a lot of testing done for network infrastructure but it doesn't always work out to be 1to1 to the actual launch

full pivot
#

its usually the AAA ones like EA that suck most at it tho

bronze wind
#

Lots of edge and corner cases

#

Right, still applies

reef storm
#

FYI - I was running on Ultra settings 4xAA and 1440P - smooth for the most part.

full pivot
#

i mean that makes the most sense

bronze wind
#

You can throw a bunch of dummy data/instances at a server but it's not the same as handling 1000s all at once

topaz wedge
#

what's your rig? @reef storm

full pivot
#

well i get that but from past experience i'd imagine they'd always make a test but assume more

reef storm
#

i5-6400, 8GB 1070, 16GB RAM

full pivot
#

to be fair idk how any of that works haha

topaz wedge
#

good, pretty on par with mine

reef storm
#

I didn't land at a station, so I don't know FPS there, but from the tutorial starter, it wasn't bad

bronze wind
#

It's definitely easier to plan ahead but most of these companies also aren't using their own resources, so if things go down it can take time to bring it back up too

#

And for new games they likely handle the data differently

winter yew
#

Holy shit!

topaz wedge
#

yeah, they outsource it for dedicated game server hosting services

reef storm
#

Biggest thing for me is it's going to take time to learn everything. It's a large learning curve

winter yew
#

I've only just loaded into a new game and it's already blown my mind.

#

Space Station is HUGE.

full pivot
#

this review "game crashes on exit"... are you sure tho?

I kinda just ask some peeps here and then look at gameplay

My mouse was doing the same and I couldn't figure out how to stop it, so I just unplugged it (Collector's ed)

I'm using DS4 via Input Mapper and am having zero issues.

#

So controller support is a go.

reef storm

Nice

bronze wind
#

Nice that's what I use Hex

reef storm

It has full controller/joystick support

bronze wind
#

Actually I use ds4windows

topaz wedge
#

Zoid, Collector's Edition?

bronze wind
#

That's great to hear Joe

#

I see now, I didn't buy the collector's tho

full pivot
#

i didnt just cuz it only talked about paint jobs

winter yew
#

I didn't do Collectors either.

full pivot
#

i never even painted my stuff in ED

topaz wedge
#

btw @reef storm how are the controls?

reef storm
#

They're okay. I still need to get my HOTAS working.

#

Mouse ship control is pretty smooth

#

It's not as intuitive as I'd like, but that's more me, not the game

full pivot
#

doing calculations on a calculator to see if Steam is lying about the time it'll take to download

reef storm
#

lol

topaz wedge
#

you said it was fully playable with controller, would a DS4 be enough?

reef storm
#

@winter yew can probably answer that one

bronze wind
#

He said it has been working for him

#

I think

topaz wedge
#

I just don't want to have the same experience like I had with Everspace >.<

bronze wind
#

Oh man everspace has a weird control scheme

winter yew
#

Yeah I'm using DS4.

#

Working perfect

topaz wedge
#

fantastic

winter yew
#

Keymapping is detailed AF.

#

SO can it setup perfectly.

I'm using default for now, I may change at some point.

Throttle and reverse is L1+L2 with pew pew laser on R2.

topaz wedge

Yeah Zoid, the config screen as well

I see

What about maneuverability @winter yew?

Manouverability is great tbh
