@winter yew I'd describe Anthem more as if Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes and Cards Against Humanity had a baby, then with a smattering of Dwarf Fortress and the odd vague hint of Pro Evolution Soccer

#

Kev you've changed less than I have because big gay guy

austere lance
#

I'm ready to blast Blackened by Metallica when I'm doing Ranger bombing runs 😈

brisk merlin
#

I chose this colourrr

sleek shadow
#

I know

#

I was t h e r e

austere lance
#

I might have an entire Anthem playlist made on Spotify, lol

brisk merlin
#

nice

idle saffron
#

Less than an hour

winter yew
#

Gunna be an easy time moderating this evening sean2

idle saffron
#

Lol

winter yew
#

BRB I need to download Anthem.

idle saffron
#

Yes

willow crypt
#

Just went past the Aurora in my cyclops and got wrecked.

idle saffron
#

Great

meager panther
#

How are you playing two games at the same time

willow crypt
#

He probably has 4 hands

idle saffron
#

I’m not

#

Silly

meager panther
#

You post nms and alien at same time

winter yew
#

Alien Combat 7

meager panther
#

No aliens sky

idle saffron
#

Alien mans sky isolation 7 :unknown skies

#

The nms screens are old

meager panther
#

Ok

willow crypt
#

Cool. Aliens poop

bronze wind
#

Same

#

@austere lance I'll be blasting Metallica right alongside ya 😛 along with some Fear Factory mixed in x)

austere lance

Sooooooon

9 minutes

brisk merlin

7 minsssss

because it starts at 17:01

idle saffron

Woooo

brisk merlin

#

1 minnn

austere lance
#

LET'S GOOOOOOOO

#

I'M IM

#

I got in, picked male voice, did my settings, and it crashed LMAO

bronze wind
idle saffron
#

I picked female voice

brisk merlin
bronze wind
#

Lol maybe having classes all day is better

austere lance
#

I've picked male voice twice now before the game crashed to my Xbox home screen, lol. This game's getting hammered rn, over 15k viewers on Twitch in literally seconds

#

Servers at max capacity

bronze wind
#

Crashing shouldn't be happening due to server responses lol

#

But yes

austere lance
#

I'm not the only Xbox person this is happening to 😄

low wedge
#

you would think nowadays big studios would have enough experience with large player loads and sudden spikes and such

#

I guess you can't really easily test that sort of thing pre-release though, imagine the processing power and hardware requirement to simulate tens or hundreds of thousands of players

austere lance
#

Alright, the game officially crashes to dashboard for all Xbox players

low wedge
#

yes that's why it's called anthem because you get to hear the xbox dashboard music aka the xbox anthem

#

🥁

winter yew
#

😐

austere lance
#

200k people on Twitch in less than half an hour 😱

low wedge
#

twitches

winter yew
#

H O L Y shit

austere lance
#

This game is getting hammered worse than Destiny release, holy fuck. Hundreds of thousands of Twitch viewers are watching/trying to log in, and waaaaaaay more than that number that aren't on Twitch are too

winter yew
#

I'm curious how many people they anticipated.

austere lance
#

Not this many, lol

low wedge
#

I'm gonna go log into Twitch for the first time in a long time and load up their stream

#

just for the lolz

#

I'm helping guise~

meager panther
#

That's what happens when they allow each person to give keys to three of their friends

#

And so on

low wedge
#

by George, they're multiplying

meager panther
#

Lmao is anthem fucked now?

#

Also considering it runs on a xbox

#

I wonder if it will run on my thing

#

Since it's slightly better than base Xbox/ps4

austere lance
#

EA dude in the Discord just said more servers are rolling @meager panther @low wedge @winter yew

winter yew
#

Ah, seems like they did plan for this.

#

This is a great test for them tbh

#

Probably why they did the key + 3 for friends.

#

Even taking into account that say 30% of them won't play the game, the data given is still worth it.

idle saffron
#

Ugh - I need to find some way to link my ea account to my live account

austere lance
#

If it's the same email you should be fine

#

Or if you've ever played an EA game online

idle saffron
#

I have, but I also have switched gamer tags and consoles since then - and it’s not the same as my live email. Origin and ea are fine - but it now shows no accounts linked

#

I don’t think I have any ea games on hand to switch with - and there is nowhere on origin or ea sites to just freaking connect with a login

#

They could make it easy and have a link account button, but noooo

winter yew
#

🤔

idle saffron
#

I’m going to try changing the ea email to my live one, see if that works

#

Subnautica: Below Zero early access launch livestream event on the 30th of January

echo hill
#

wwooottttt

#

i need to finish subnautica lol

low wedge
#

same, NMS took priority

idle saffron
#

My poor Anthem demo just sits there saying connecting to online services - it could at least crash or something

rigid haven
#

Yeah, same

#

I'm gonna leave it until tomorrow

winter yew
#

My anthem demo also sits at connecting

#

Mines not.

#

But that's cause I haven't downloaded it yet.

teal mason
#

I'm just playing Kingdom Come

winter yew
#

Holy shit I entered

#

Thanks Bethesda

#

No problem!

teal mason
#

you're bethesda?

#

Todd is that you?

idle saffron
#

It’s me

#

That you Betty?

low wedge
#

Todd is an Abzorbalovian.

#

that's how he manages to be all of Bethesda

idle saffron
#

Hey, I’m getting a connection message now. That is better than nothing I suppose

#

Still not enough servers for me 😢

austere lance
#

FIFA servers are down and the Origin website was for a bit, this is crashing all of EA's stuff 😄

idle saffron
#

Lol

#

Good stress test then

brisk merlin
low wedge
#

EA, such a huge company, with so many games, not knowing how to scale their services still... lol

#

tbf scaling is a very hard problem but come on

reef storm
#

Had a small issue getting into freeplay with a buddy, but other than that - smooth as hell.

#

I really think it's going to live up to a lot of what they've said. VIP demo is VERY limited, but the gameplay is quite good.

idle saffron
#

Can I fly?

reef storm
#

Yes

idle saffron
#

Can I shoot?

reef storm
#

Yes

idle saffron
#

I’m good

reef storm
#

Yes

#

wait

#

Good.

low wedge
#

Can I dig?

reef storm
#

Harvest, not dig.

idle saffron
#

Cancel preorder

low wedge
#

Can I savour the splendid aromatic gas excretions of alien lifeforms?

reef storm
#

Uhhh.....well, there's acid, so....yeah?

idle saffron
#

No Gek allowed

reef storm
#

Fought a Fire Titan.

#

It burned.

#

Didn't do any missions, but freeplay is fun as hell. Exploring, getting into world events ,things like that

idle saffron
#

Nice, I’m looking forward to it!

#

Screenshots when?

reef storm
#

I'll try to get some later tonight/tomorrow

austere lance
#

I'll play once Xbox isn't dead 😢

reef storm
#

Yep. They're all over the fixes right now.

bronze wind
#

Yeah I love all of the armchair network infrastructure experts that come out of nowhere during online game launches

reef storm
#

Still, played VERY well - no hitches.

low wedge
#

I know networking is really really hard, I'm just saying, it's not the first time one of the world's biggest publishers and developers has launched a massive title, just thought they would have learned all the lessons by now

bronze wind
#

That's not how it works

#

It's not just "do it different next time"

#

There are things not even related to the actual structure that make a difference too

low wedge
#

all of the massive web companies have scalability figured out just fine and can handle gigantic spikes

bronze wind
#

Such as costs. You don't pay for servers to host 2 million people if you have 2 million purchases, for a demo

low wedge
#

Netflix literally randomly shuts down random server farms just to see what happens, in production

#

and their service handles it fine

bronze wind
#

Yes, because those are websites and have been running forever

#

Meaning they've had time to tune it

#

This is different, not every game has the same traffic or even processes

low wedge
#

EA has been doing online games for a long time, I know that you can never really predict how many players a launch/demo/whatever is going to get but

#

just know that many many services can and do spin up new servers on demand whenever there are major traffic spikes and it all mostly works flawlessly for most big web companies

#

I remember when the Halo 3 launch brought down all of Xbox LIVE, this kind of thing has happened plenty of times to plenty of companies and yet that kinda thing doesn't really happen anymore (launches bringing down the entire platform) because MS improved their infrastructure and such, so why can't EA do that too 🤷

fallen notch
#

Overcatering would cost some money... Undercatering would cost some credibility. Which can they afford more...

low wedge
#

it doesn't have to cost money, the servers are spun up on demand when the system detects traffic surges

#

or some such, not sure exactly how it works

austere lance
#

$5 says he's 12

brisk merlin
#

lmao

#

they havent even launched the game

austere lance
brisk merlin
#

loads of 5 year olds dont even realise that this is a demo thing

#

not a full release

low wedge
#

lol that Spartan guy must be fun to hang out with

#

you know what fuck you I knew this was going to happen my friend can't even order pizza without fucking it up and I'm going to do something about it I contributed $5 towards the total and I wanted a Sprite and you got me a Fanta so I may take this bullshit to court

#

or some such

brisk merlin
#

lmao

echo hill
#

whats the verdict so far?

brisk merlin
#

some issues

glass tartan
#

I wanted to walk from my front door to my car but then I had to go down the stairs and that wasn't part of my morning plan so you know what? Fuck it I may take this to court

brisk merlin
#

but ive played it and i enjoyed it

reef storm
#

^

austere lance
#

I haven't played but I'm also not being a salty lil bitch-boi about the demo, lol. I've alpha'd and beta'd online-only games like Sea of Thieves and Destiny/Destiny 2 and I saw this coming a mile away 😄

austere lance
#

Holy hell, people are also having problems logging into Battlefront II and FIFA

idle saffron
#

I’m not worried about it, if not this weekend, then next one

austere lance
#

That server is the living incarnation of 4Chan, holy shit

low wedge
#

Anthem server, or?

austere lance
#

Yes

jade lake
#

metroid prime 4

#

sad day

#

but at least retro is taking over

winter yew
#

TBH they approached it the best way possible.

#

No bullshitting, this is what's happening, we're sorry.

jade lake
#

ik, and i really appreciate it from them

#

instead of being all "uhh uhh" for 2 more years

winter yew
#

It does make me wonder what's gone so wrong that a development restart was their best choice.

jade lake
#

agreed, it seems a little weird

#

but retro knows how to make some damn good games, so i trust them

#

still not sure why they werent on board from the beginning tho

winter yew
#

Oh for sure.

#

Hey at least we know it'll be worth the wait and not some half baked broken thing.

jade lake
#

for sure

cinder vessel
#

@bronze wind u just install more server RAM its super easy to download i dunno wtf theyre doing

jade lake
#

lmao

cinder vessel
#

more on topic, I suspect maybe Nintendo was considering trying some different stuff with Metroid Prime 4 but none of it was really clicking so they may have gone back to safer bets

#

tfw Bandai Namco was trying to make Metroid Souls and Nintendo was like, "aah...nah, nah we're good"

jade lake
#

i bet it was like DS tbh

#

lol

cinder vessel
#

i'm just not really sure what else bandai namco's been doing in the games space lately

#

i know there's the digimon games, but that doesn't make sense to carry over

#

considering they're RPGs mainly

#

huh, yeah, lately they're mainly turn-based & action RPGs, fighting games, and the occasional oddball title like Ace Combat & Twin Mirror(!?)

bronze wind
#

See that's how you fix a server

#

Download more ram

cinder vessel
#

right?!

#

is so easy jeez

bronze wind
#

Ikr

#

C'mon ea

cinder vessel
#

oh speaking of testing stuff, I got Mm

#

it's pretty wild @rigid haven

bronze wind
#

I got into anthem first try giga

#

Well fort tarsis

#

Loading expedition now

cinder vessel
#

oh fuck me...
so i started to read that as fort tartarus, then my brain was like too many syllables so back to tarsis but instead blurted tardis and ono

iron inlet
#

Launched Anthem

#

and everything is set to ultra

#

plzno

rigid haven
#

Mm

#

Ohh

#

Yes it's good

iron inlet
#

are any of you experiencing a lot of pop-in?

#

areas loading infront of me lol

rigid haven
#

I should play Anthem really

#

I got to the mission loading screen and never got past it

brisk merlin
#

anthem is done fine to meeee

#

btw they are fixing the mission load thingy

austere lance
#

Xbox can't play, lol

#

They're working on it and it'll probably be fixed by tomorrow, I'll just play then. Basically what I was expecting tbh

iron inlet
#

what's the mission load issue?

#

because I'm also having trouble loading into this mission lol

brisk merlin
#

gets to 95% load

#

then stops

iron inlet
#

looks about right

#

is that consistent or just sometimes happens

brisk merlin
#

sometimes

iron inlet
#

gross

#

fix is to just restart?

brisk merlin
#

...sometimes

iron inlet
#

or just wait?

brisk merlin
#

just... best chance is to restart... if you wait, someone said it can take like 20 mins

iron inlet
#

oof

rigid haven
#

I'm just waiting for them to fix, I guess

#

It's happened twice in a row GWnanamiKonataCry

cinder vessel
#

always online future workin' great 😩

rigid haven
#

I have a feeling Dreams is coming in Feb

#

No clue why

cinder vessel
#

that would be...interesting

#

not sure what else is coming out in february off the top of my head

rigid haven
#

Just Anthem, iirc

reef storm
#

@iron inlet I didn't experience any pop in when I played earlier

#

Game releases for Feb

winter yew
#

Crackdown 3 😒

reef storm
#

I'll probably get it anyway

winter yew
#

I've had that game on pre-order for nearly 4 years.

brisk merlin
reef storm
#

Good stuff Kev

cinder vessel
#

whee

#

that reminds me, i should maybe get a wii u sometime

rigid haven
#

Oh yeah, God Eater 3

#

Are Wii U's rare yet?

cinder vessel
#

still in that limbo space where they're not too bad

#

the games are the weirder thing to try & find anymore

echo hill
#

aight ig ill try anthem now

cinder vessel
#

but if u can find wii u games, they're kinda the cheapest Nintendo games you'll ever find, excluding maybe some typically popular games

#

like the Mario/Zelda games

rigid haven
#

I still have a wii u copy of BotW

#

I'm really glad they released it for the U, otherwise I wouldn't have played it

cinder vessel
#

i imagine i'd get a wii u and then become a madlad collecting all the quirky but (at least to me) cool/interesting niche titles released for it, like i did with the wii

rigid haven
#

Like, uh

#

That one Hannah Montana game

winter yew
#

far cry new dawn looks great

#

I beat far cry 5 when it released. story was alright. I feel like they could have done more, but it was intriguing

#

joseph is a great character

#

the rest... not really

cinder vessel
#

i think Far Cry 2 or 4 would be the ones i'd be likeliest to enjoy, maybe

rigid haven
#

3 was fun

cinder vessel
#

Primal i might enjoy just because wtf is that

#

and Blood Dragon is just its own game imo

rigid haven
#

I've heard good things about Blood Dragon too

winter yew
#

ok so I nabbed anthem

#

don't know what to play it on though

#

(the demo)

#

PC is OK, but will probably struggle. I have a One X, but I doubt it has X support, or even Pro Support for Playstation.

rigid haven
#

Does x or pro support even mean anything?

winter yew
#

true

#

well it did with red dead

#

it looked fire on the X

#

but I have friends I can play with on PS4

bronze wind
#

Okay anthems fun af

winter yew
#

when does the demo end?

jade lake
#

@echo hill

#

I assume you have heard the news

echo hill
#

yo

#

no?

jade lake
#

subnautica 2 baybeee

echo hill
#

oh the uhh

#

expansion thingy

jade lake
#

sub zero

echo hill
#

yeah

#

whens it come out?

jade lake
#

Next week

echo hill
#

oh fuck what

jade lake
#

yea and apparently it’s a sequel

rigid haven
#

Huh

echo hill
#

oi fuck

#

i gotta finish the first

jade lake
#

lmao

rigid haven
#

Wait, is it a sequel or is it an expansion?

bronze wind
#

Finish me

austere lance
#

@cinder vessel Primal is fun af, I finally finished it today and had a blast

echo hill
#

🤷

jade lake
#

zogg

rigid haven
#

I know it's DLC so that kinda makes things weird

jade lake
#

woop get p4

winter yew
#

I have a steelbook version of primal

rigid haven
#

I want to get P4

winter yew
#

never got too far in it though

rigid haven
#

I even have a PS2

jade lake
#

33 hours in and it hasn’t lost any steam, seriously one of the best games I’ve ever played

#

gets the official recommendation seal from @jade lake

echo hill
#

yeah its a hella good game

#

i still need to finish

jade lake
#

i hate teddie tho lmao

#

he is the worst character

echo hill
#

oh wait i think we switched games

#

lol

jade lake
#

back to subnautica

#

it’s worth finishing

#

Very good game

austere lance
#

Primal is the first Far Cry I've played since 3 (which is one of my top 10 games of all time) and I fucking love it, took me 20 hours to blow through the story with minimal side-stuff and I'm only at 42% game completion 😄

winter yew
#

33 hours into what?

cinder vessel
#

was kinda funny, was talking to someone at gamestop to see if this old PS3 they had was backcompat, and they tried to sell me on an old PS2 given they're going for like $50 or so these days

jade lake
#

persona 4

#

@winter yew

winter yew
#

ah

#

recently acquired yazuka but I haven't put much time into that

cinder vessel
#

(yakuza)

winter yew
#

yazuka 0

jade lake
#

I’ve heard good things about yakuza

austere lance
#

Primal is way more brutal than 3, I was surprised

jade lake
#

yakuza irl ofc

cinder vessel
#

i can't wait till we start seeing alternative Dreamcast/PS1/PS2/N64 machines

winter yew
#

gmr I literally just realized why you kept doing the parenthesis

#

yakuza 0, there we go

#

finally

cinder vessel
#

Haha, yeah, didn't wanna be a prick about it but it's like sliver/silver

#

except i don't know if yazuka is a word 🤔

#

oh huh it is

austere lance
#

Stealth in Primal is fun, riding the legendary cave bear into a base and slaughtering everyone is better 😈

#

Or a mammoth

cinder vessel
#

i think they sold Primal partly on it being more brutal what with prehistory & everything

austere lance
#

It's gory as shit too

#

And for some reason they put dicks in the game, there's random dudes you'll find wearing nothing but a string 😬

#

#cavemanlife

#

Getting headshots with an arrow or spear is disgustingly satisfying, the sound design for the game is on point 👌

winter yew
#

I tried playing it on one of the hardest difficulties with all HUD stuff off

#

I never played it any other way. I think this must have soured my first introduction

#

I'm not very good at vidya game

austere lance
#

Good lord

#

Why the shit would you do that

winter yew
#

it did feel different though... it was like a survival experience

#

it was really tough

austere lance
#

Oh yeah, you can DEFINITELY turn it into a hardcore survival game

winter yew
#

also I put my ps4 on top of actual bricks while i was playing this to "improve" the cooling system, lol. thankfully the phase did not last

austere lance
#

I recommend a regular difficulty to start, lol

winter yew
#

I don't know if that even did anything but it was recommended online I think?

#

I get OCD with electronics

#

like, really OCD

#

that's where most of my OCD goes now as opposed to where it used to be

full pivot
#

I love Frontier right now for not fully integrating into Steam

#

I can still play ED through the launcher

austere lance
#

Hour 9+ of the demo and Xbox still can't get in 😢

cinder vessel
#

oof

full pivot
#

Bodes well

#

The real question is will they fully fix these issues by release

austere lance
#

I'm installing Darksiders 1 to play in case the demo's still dead tomorrow, lol

rigid haven
#

Release is 22nd, public demo on the 1st

#

So, yeah, they hopefully should

#

Hopefully

full pivot
#

I need to get through darksiders too since I bought the whole series

austere lance
#

2 is best cuz of The Crucible, lol

winter yew
#

lol I activated the beta for Anthem on the wrong account so I have to contact EA to force my PSN Account to another Origin Acc. so I can play it on ps4

#

hopefully this goes quick

austere lance
#

I'm just gonna play Spyro tonight and hope the demo works tomorrow

winter yew
#

dude the ea support chat is taking a while to let me in

#

with the demo/beta thing of anthem releasing today, it must suck to be them right now

#

so I'll bear through the enormous wait time (waited an hour and have to do it again basically). I just hope they can actually unlink my PSN acc

wise bone
#

@winter yew EA was able to switch around my accounts for Dragon Age (I wanted to use the Keep) in like half an hour

#

Should hopefully be fine for Anthem

winter yew
#

good to hear

#

25 minutes left

#

wow

#

the time went up

#

now it's back to 40 minutes

#

I've been starting at a "Thank you for contacting EA" for almost three hours now

austere lance
#

After 11 hours and 10 minutes they finally got it semi-working on Xbox, lol

winter yew
#

I'm about to just give up

#

NEVERMIND BOYS IT'S BACK

#

phew

winter yew
#

spent three hours in an EA help session only to find that the game is having server issues loading up on ps4

#

that's not the problem - the real problem for me was fixed, and now I have anthem tied to my psn account respectively. buuuuut I can't even play it after all of that

#

I'll cut it some slack, it's only a demo (though the game is pretty close already)

cinder vessel
#

i...uh, yeah, that's what a bunch of the chatter earlier was about, lol

winter yew
#

I had my own character arc

#

now I've conjoined with the others. this is just how it is sometimes

#

I made sure to thank my EA Help Advisor on behalf of everyone experiencing issues though for helping us. I'm gonna try to do that with everyone I ever talk to in tech support. must not be the best job in the world

full pivot
#

Yknow fallout 76 had a lot of issues in the prerelease demo too...

winter yew
#

yah but at least these guys are actually acknowledging the game won't let people in

#

no disrespect tho because at least bethesda is trying to fix 76

#

I just feel like it couldn't have been ignored that it was a bit muddy

full pivot
#

It was more than a bit

winter yew
#

Anthem is fun

winter yew
#

I feel like there aren't enough sound effects

iron inlet
#

Sounds like Anthem is a bit of a mess tbh

#

I haven't had chance to actually play yet thanks to the load bug

mighty token
#

haha

#

what even is anthem about

iron inlet
#

you're asking the wrong guy lol

mighty token
#

welp

#

not as intriguing as death stranding

#

or far cry new dawn

austere lance
#

@mighty token It's what happens if Iron Man and Diablo had a baby

mighty token
#

okay that still does not intrigue me

austere lance
mighty token
#

sounds like borderlands but sci fi and made by EA

austere lance
#

Made by *Bioware

mighty token
#

thats even worse

austere lance
#

Excuse

mighty token
#

wait sorry

austere lance
#

Made by Casey Hudson Bioware

mighty token
#

i mistook

#

yeah then there is hope

austere lance
#

Boi watch that damn video

mighty token
#

watching

#

wait what kind of playstyles are there?

#

it says you can upgrade to suit your playstyles

#

that looks very destinyish

rigid haven
#

4 javelins, 4 playstyles

mighty token
#

nearly not enough

rigid haven
#

Each have different specialties so the "suit your playstyles" thing is kinda naff

mighty token
#

borderlands had to patch in 2 more lmao

rigid haven
#

Because you can play Storm as a Colossus if you want

#

It's all down to the player 🤷

mighty token
#

hmm

rigid haven
#

Also, 4 interchangeable suits sounds plenty to me bitch_think

mighty token
#

an idea im not fully into

meager panther
winter yew
#

It’s not bad. I don’t know if it’s any good though because I haven’t played it enough.

mighty token
#

yeah might be enough

#

but there is warframe

winter yew
#

I played and completed one mission but I don’t know how the game behaves generally yet

mighty token
#

too many playstyles

#

i see

meager panther
#

If you want to play as iron Man,wait for the game by activision

mighty token
#

well i'll wait for the reviews

austere lance
#

Open demo next weekend @mighty token

mighty token
#

not trusting this one

#

it'd be too big a download for me

#

probably

Activision is making a open world marvel game

rigid haven
#

No clue on xbox

mighty token
#

battlefield 1 was 68 gigs

austere lance
#

23 GB on Xbox

winter yew
#

The Avengers one, right?

mighty token
#

and that made my internet die

#

errrr no thank you

winter yew
#

Or is that Square Enix?

austere lance
#

Anthem demo is 43 GB for PC

mighty token
#

i downloaded wolfenstein the new order

#

for 43 gb

#

a game i know is really good

meager panther
#

Yeah square enix

mighty token
#

not risking that

bronze wind
#

You make no sense lol

#

You'll literally never know if the game is good if you don't play it

meager panther
#

It's actually three studios working together

#

So GWupuGuriThinking

mighty token
#

oo

bronze wind
#

How would you have known that game is good if you didn't download if first

austere lance
#

@mighty token You can download it right now so it's ready by next Friday

mighty token
#

oh

meager panther
#

Lmao

mighty token
#

origin?

rigid haven
#

I could download it in 2 days and my internet is really bad

austere lance
#

Yee, Origin

meager panther
#

How bad is the download that it takes a week

mighty token
#

i have 100mbps

#

just not the investment

winter yew
#

It’s so nice they’re working on a massive Squirrel Girl game

meager panther
#

What?

austere lance
#

@mighty token It's made by the guys that made the first three Mass Effect games

winter yew
#

It’s a large open world map where all you do is run up trees

mighty token
#

yeah i know

meager panther
#

@winter yew are you kidding?

austere lance
#

And led by the guy that headed them

meager panther
mighty token
#

it's something i would have appreciated more if the battlefield guys worked on the combat

#

or id

#

don't like the cover based thing

#

at all

winter yew
#

Why would I be joking? Dude, Squirrel Girl is totally the game Activision is making. It would be lost money not to

austere lance
#

It's not cover based, you literally fly around like Iron Man and wreck shit 😄 @mighty token

mighty token
#

mass effect

#

not anthem

winter yew
#

😏

mighty token
#

not saying anything about anthem

wise bone
#

Where the ME series lacks in combat, it makes up for in story.

mighty token
#

because it ain't out

#

true

iron inlet
#

I feel like maybe I'd like Anthem more on console than PC

#

but as it stands, not crazy about it

mighty token
#

but the one thing that just pulls me out of the immersion is the interface and animation

austere lance
#

Me 2 and 3 had hella fun combat tho

wise bone
#

@iron inlet some testers said that Anthem feels better on controller

mighty token
#

@iron inlet relatable

iron inlet
#

I'm using a controller, I'm just on PC

#

and I'm not a fan lol

wise bone
#

Ahh

iron inlet
#

PC is clunky, it's badly optimized

wise bone
#

Iron Man Simulator hype tho

austere lance
#

Literally everybody says it's better on consoles, control-wise

mighty token
#

that is to be expected

iron inlet
#

it's crazy intensive on CPU

bronze wind
#

I never said that soul lmao

mighty token
#

from demos and betas

bronze wind
#

I'm on PC and it's fine

#

I use a controller

#

And nyx you have some sort of old rig

#

Iirc

mighty token
#

how old tho

austere lance
#

M+kb is supposed to be 💩

bronze wind
#

I don't like mkb in general

#

Cause I have a shitty desk

mighty token
#

wait what

#

m+kb is perfectly fine

#

for me

austere lance
#

@mighty token Not for Anthem, lol

mighty token
#

perhaps

bronze wind
#

I like it but I have an absolutely terrible desk for it

#

And I'm used to a controller

mighty token
#

but for destiny is better

#

i play some games on controller

#

like forza

#

no man's sky

austere lance
#

The 8 week old build they're using for the demo is 💩 to play with m+kb

mighty token
#

broforce

bronze wind
#

Soul you don't have mkb

#

I know you're just spewing things that random people have said but you say it like it's fact lmao

mighty token
#

confused what you mean by that but ok

wise bone
#

I know I'd be better at shooters if I had kb+m

mighty token
#

^^^^^^^^^^^^

austere lance
#

I've spent the last 12 hours seeing literally hundreds (if not thousands) of people complaining about it in the Discord, lol

mighty token
#

damn

bronze wind
#

But you haven't tried it for yourself 😩😩😩

mighty token
#

well you don't really have to do you

bronze wind
#

I mean it's not like he can lol

mighty token
#

something that is shit is not to be tasted

bronze wind
#

But it's always better to try things out

austere lance
#

If an entire Discord is complaining about it I'd assume it's not working that well, lol

mighty token
#

in order to know its bad

bronze wind
#

Not working is different than poorly mapped or something though

mighty token
#

we have people who have done that for us

crisp sparrow
#

what's discord complaining about

#

I wanna complain too

bronze wind
#

Everything all the time

mighty token
#

@crisp sparrow the government shutdown

crisp sparrow
#

oh

bronze wind
#

Keyboards

mighty token
#

the ending of far cry 4

austere lance
#

The Anthem Discord is complaining about how bad kb+m is on the game, lol @crisp sparrow

crisp sparrow
#

well that's an understandable complaint

#

kb+m is such a standard on PC

mighty token
#

the economic state of vatican city

austere lance
#

I skipped FC 4 and went straight to Primal, lol

mighty token
#

primal was not for me

#

i went to 5

#

was good

#

crazy fun

crisp sparrow
#

I couldn't bring myself to play dark souls because the kb+m layout wasn't ideal

mighty token
#

i can't play racing games with kb+m

austere lance
#

I love the hell out of Primal, took me 20 hours to blow through the story with minimal side stuff and I loved every second of it

mighty token
#

i know it is good

#

i did not like the setting that's all

wise bone
#

I still want to get it.

If it has dinosaurs, I'm all over it.

austere lance
#

Plus Takkar was voiced by my boi Adam Jensen, lol

#

@wise bone It doesn't have dinosaurs

mighty token
#

oof

wise bone
#

OK not dinos

#

But

austere lance
#

It's about cavemen, lol

wise bone
#

The before time

#

Yes

mighty token
#

im waiting for new dawn

wise bone
#

Did I really call it The Before Time

austere lance
#

It's waaaaay more gory than previous Far Cry games

mighty token
#

hopefully makes up for the disappointment that was fallout 76

rigid haven
#

It's me, Woop, here to tell you that I like Fallout 76

#

I'll be back next time someone mentions Fallout 76 to say that I like it

bronze wind
#

It's no use woop

wise bone
#

WE WANT BAGS

mighty token
#

please say away from my kids

#

and me

rigid haven
#

I'll punt your kids out the window

wise bone
#

I'm sorry I had to

rigid haven
#

I'm Chaotic Bitch

bronze wind
#

This is the internet, people take their video games very seriously

mighty token
#

ok yeah do that they're brats

bronze wind
#

It's a big deal

mighty token
#

i'm chaotic neutral too

iron inlet
#

You know what annoys me most about Anthem?

#

the players

mighty token
#

everything?

#

oh

bronze wind
#

Lol nyx

rigid haven
#

I'm gonna do everything in Anthem solo

bronze wind
#

You treat destiny players like crap all the time 😩

wise bone
#

watching an indie trailer
"physics based"
You mean like every game

iron inlet
#

people r bad

mighty token
#

anthem from the video soul sent is like destiny + warframe to me

wise bone
#

For the weebs in the room--Jump Force is still a thing coming out

mighty token
#

and i already play both of those

#

and not like destiny

bronze wind
#

It has some destiny similarities but overall it's pretty different

iron inlet
#

it's more like the division

mighty token
#

i see

iron inlet
#

but iron man

mighty token
#

is it better tho

bronze wind
#

Ehhh

iron inlet
#

I mean the woman is even called Faye

bronze wind
#

Division is a stretch lmao

#

Extremely different themes and settings

iron inlet
#

it performs like The Division did lmao

mighty token
#

let us not bring tom clancy into this

bronze wind
#

Sure, you shoot guns in both

iron inlet
#

yeah totally different theme and setting

#

but gameplay is similar

mighty token
#

HA

bronze wind
#

Imnyx your comp is terrible I thought lol

iron inlet
#

Anthem just had glying too

bronze wind
#

Nyx*

iron inlet
#

nah I got a new one

bronze wind
#

I can't really speak to performance cause my pc is beefy

iron inlet
#

I've got a mid-high rig now and it blows on Anthem lol

bronze wind
#

So it runs fine

#

But this is also a slightly older build from what I understand

#

Not that I'd expect much to change

#

Either way I'm really enjoying it

iron inlet
#

oh dont get me wrong I like it

meager panther
#

I am enjoying zoid enjoying it

iron inlet
#

I just reckon I'd enjoy it more on console

meager panther
bronze wind
#

Enjoy me gamer

iron inlet
#

because then it'd run at a steady 30

mighty token
#

ahah

iron inlet
#

rather than a weird 45

meager panther
#

How does a console get better performance than a pc

bronze wind
#

If you cap at 30 on PC it'll be the same

#

It doesnt

iron inlet
#

there's no framerate cap tho

bronze wind
#

Just stable lower framerate

#

There is

iron inlet
#

where 👀

bronze wind
#

Just change your resolution

#

It tacks on framerste there

iron inlet
#

that's so dumb lmao

bronze wind
#

So many games do that

meager panther
#

What resolution does the ps 4 even use?

bronze wind
#

Like most games lol

iron inlet
#

most games I play have a frame cap lol

bronze wind
#

It's either one or the other, literally the same functionality tho

iron inlet
#

also help I changed it to 24hz res and it's still running at 43fps

bronze wind
#

Like it cycles between 1080p30, 1080p60, etc

iron inlet
#

anthem plz

bronze wind
#

Might need to restart

#

Or the options aren't fleshed out for the demo

full pivot
#

Isn't it being released soon?

iron inlet
#

Yeah

#

they swear this isn't a beta, it's a demo

rigid haven
#

twotwo

#

22nd

iron inlet
#

but idk, to me it seems pretty unfinished

rigid haven
#

I gotta turn my fan up super high when I play it

full pivot
#

I'm not memeing when I say its worrisome how it sound similar to other games that released unfinished; not just 76

bronze wind
#

It's not unfinished lol

#

How is that even a thought

full pivot
#

How is it not!?

iron inlet
#

Because it feels pretty unfinished haha

bronze wind
#

Not at all to me

#

Played for like 3 hours

iron inlet
#

there's pop-in, it's badly optimized, there's a bug that stops your loading that's happening to almost everyone, like how is that even a thing

#

the options aren't great, no FPS cap, and if I have to restart to change resolution then that's a bit ehhh

bronze wind
#

All games have bugs on launch

full pivot
bronze wind
#

Whatever, I'm so fucking tired of the internet and video games. Gn

iron inlet
#

also they say like, "This is running on an older build" but it's not a beta

#

if you're still making new builds of the game before it's released, doesn't that make it a beta?

full pivot
#

I just don't understand the whole attitude toward games lately

#

If an indie developer sneezes they get crucified; AAA gets a pass and quality keeps going down

#

But whatever all I ever get is hostility for saying that

iron inlet
#

nah u right though

#

for some reason we're allowed to sell unfinished games now

full pivot
#

Well all I even try to say is be careful

#

Because games cost money

meager panther
#

It is optional

#

Then there are ytube reviews

#

You can make a informed decision

full pivot
#

I know but people buy the $200 collectors edition based on trailers and get screwed and then they're all frustrated

meager panther
#

Guess they didn't make a informed decision then

full pivot
#

Idk I guesd I just shouldnt care if people make mistakes like that anymore

iron inlet
#

oh hey the 95% load bug happened again

#

nice

full pivot
#

I finally unlocked everyone in smash! Yey!

rigid haven
#

Hooray

#

Now try them all out only to find you suck at all of them other than one

full pivot
#

Oh well thats for sure with me I'm not even that good with my main

rigid haven
#

Who do you main?

full pivot
#

Samus

rigid haven
#

Huh, neat

#

I'm Dark Pit main 2bthumb

#

Like Pit but his bow and FS are more useful

full pivot
#

Ive played as Samus since melee

#

Which means I kinda hate fox and falco

rigid haven
#

I only started with Brawl and there I used Kirby a ton

idle saffron
bronze wind
#

Looking good

idle saffron
#

No u

#

Heeeyyy

bronze wind
#

Mines all gold with just a couple black undertones haha

#

Wanted to see how it looked

idle saffron
#

I think I’m gonna go white and orange, like my nms model

brisk merlin
bronze wind
#

Nice son

idle saffron
#

Threatening

#

I like it

bronze wind
#

Lemme boot up

brisk merlin
#

played free roam for a while and did public events

#

they are really good

#

like the NPCs that you have to protect actually use abilities

idle saffron
#

Oh cool

#

I have just done that first manifold mission

#

I didn’t understand the puzzle, I got it from trial and error - did I miss indicators?

brisk merlin
#

the lost area things are cool too, i was doing one solo, then ran into trouble then some guy ran in from behind at the right time, it was lovely

idle saffron
#

Nice

meager panther
#

Lmao

winter yew
#

Yeah seriously I love the free roam

#

Also interceptor best javelin

#

fight me

brisk merlin
#

melee onmly

bronze wind
#

@idle saffron for the puzzle there are glowing lights in different spots near the key gate things, which indicate what symbol to choose

#

If you get close you can see the actual symbol inscribed on a wall or surface near the lights

idle saffron
#

Nice - didn’t even notice that

bronze wind
#

Too me forever

#

Which is weird cause they're actually pretty easy to spot lol

winter yew
#

interceptor doesn't only have melee

idle saffron
#

Good, I was hoping it was just my ineptitude and not their design

bronze wind
#

You and me both gleam

#

Also ablo I also will likely main interceptor

idle saffron
#

I just started the second mission - is the choice for a new javelin level capped, or story?

winter yew
#

level

#

As cool as the first javelin is, I can't get over the design of interceptor

raven frost
#

hey uh

#

so there's this girl

#

and

reef storm
meager panther
#

Cube world

bronze wind
#

So far my biggest issue with anthen is that you can flinch from enemy fire

#

When there are a bunch of dudes around you can get stunlocked quickly, and flinching even once basically means your entire shield is just gone

idle saffron
#

That’s my current issue right now, on the second mission

#

Gotta keep circling, it’s taking forever

brisk merlin
#

i recommend bulwark point and dodging

idle saffron
#

Intense though

#

Yeah, I have bulwark and it’s handy

brisk merlin
#

i crafted a t3 version

#

rare i mean

idle saffron
#

I have a green one I picked up

brisk merlin
#

i reccomend doin plenty of freeplay lmao

idle saffron
#

I’m enjoying it

brisk merlin
#

im happy with the game, fix the 95% bug and i'll be really happy

idle saffron
#

What’s the 95% bug

brisk merlin
#

loads up until the load bar gets to 95% then stops

idle saffron
#

Ahh

brisk merlin
#

you on console?

idle saffron
#

It hung once today between missions, but that was it

#

Yeah

brisk merlin
#

I dont think console gets effected by it

idle saffron
#

Sweet

#

💪xbox

bronze wind
#

Yeah I'm happy with it, and bulwark works alright, but when there's a bunch of people it wears off too fast for me

brisk merlin
#

Dad i wanna play together 😩

bronze wind
#

Let's do

idle saffron
#

I throw one down, and kite around, using it as a quick respite area

bronze wind
#

The only enemy I just absolutely hate are the spider turret guys

idle saffron
#

Which are those

bronze wind
#

Can't remember the name

#

Luminary

#

That's it

idle saffron
#

I haven’t paid much attention to names lol, I just have been shooting stuff

bronze wind
#

The ones that spawn dudes to help them

#

And launch missiles at you

idle saffron
#

The moving mech ones?

bronze wind
#

Yes

idle saffron
#

That’s the one I’m fighting in the second mission

bronze wind
#

They take so long

idle saffron
#

First fight was like 10 minutes, and I died, next was quicker cause I tried toe to toe

bronze wind
#

@brisk merlin I need to equip a couple things real quick

brisk merlin
#

alright

idle saffron
#

Put your brown pants on

#

I’m going to kill this thing now, third time is the charm

bronze wind
#

What do you wanna do kev

#

Free play?

#

Just started the first mission

#

Had to restart demo, lol. 26 hours later and Xbox just started being able to play and I can't even load a mission 😬

cinder vessel
#

😮

rigid haven
#

Same problems here

#

95% loading thing every time

austere lance
#

Took me 3 tries but the game seems to be working, I ran a mission with only a couple minor glitches

#

@rigid haven There's no tutorial, so I hope you're good at figuring out controls 😄

rigid haven
#

Yes

#

Mostly

austere lance
#

Flying feels bizarre at first

#

Ooo, my new marksman rifle is basically a Halo BR

idle saffron
#

I played free roam for a bit, did a couple events - and then it crashed when I ended the expedition - didn’t get anything 😭

austere lance
#

Oof

idle saffron
#

🤷

austere lance
#

I did the first mission

#

I'm about to see what else there is to do

idle saffron
#

I did the first two of the missions as well

austere lance
#

Game runs like garbo on an OG Xbone, my poor boi is finally obsolete

idle saffron
#

Awww

#

I can say firsthand, other than the obvious glitches/bugs - the 1 handles it smooth

#

No FPS drop even during crazy times

austere lance
#

I need to upgrade to a One S, lol

#

The load times for starting missions are 😬

#

Not to mention the frame rate and stuttering

idle saffron
#

Oof- takes like 5 seconds maybe to load on the 1x

austere lance
#

😢

#

I'd get one if I could afford one, lol

jade lake
#

my friends cant even play it

#

it just crashes

#

and when it doesnt it just sits there for a long ass time

#

and that fps is baaad

brisk merlin
#

on what?

#

I mean, my friends can play it on xbox

jade lake
#

og xbox

rigid haven
#

I fixed FPS on pc using fullscreen instead of borderless

#

I think it was skip who suggested that but i forgot

#

Also, Anthem isn't on the original Xbox

jade lake
#

i meant og xbox one

#

not actual og xbox lmao

austere lance
#

I'm on an OG Xbone, the game seems to be working better than earlier

#

Just had a helluva fun time in freeplay

rigid haven
#

It's actually really fun

#

I thought I'd hate it but I love it

brisk merlin
#

I love it because i feel like a superhero

austere lance
rigid haven
#

I saw

Additional vinyl, hm

I'd prefer it be extended a day but sanshrug

brisk merlin

I read it :p

merry dagger
#

austere lance
#

@merry dagger This demo is a buggy mess but fml it's fun when it works. Definitely a unique game

#

I'm hella hyped for release

rigid haven
#

Me too

raven frost
#

still waiting until I get new hardware tk pick it up

bronze wind
#

So I was playing with Kev

merry dagger
#

bronze wind
#

And he pointed out that my suit (above)

#

looks like

merry dagger
#

bronze wind
#

This is actually after I slightly modified it to have the purple haha

#

After he mentioned it looked like Deoxys

#

But now I'm committing to that

brisk merlin
#

yay

bronze wind
#

Looks really good with the DOF

brisk merlin
#

it really does

#

😩

bronze wind
#

I think @rigid haven would enjoy mine since Pokemon

Maybe @iron inlet too

#

oh he might be slep

#

Did you get one of the vinyls Kev?

brisk merlin

Since it starts you at level 10

brisk merlin

Replaying AC Black Flag, god I love this game

austere lance

We're at 30 hours since the demo went live and it's still not working, lol @brisk merlin

teal mason
#

I should really get the demo and try it out but Kingdom Come is too much fun to get away from thonk

austere lance
