i wouldn't want anthem more difficult but that's because it's already a pain at times to solo.
but then i also probably won't get it so doesn't matter
brisk merlin
Grand master?
bronze wind
yeh understandable
cinder vessel
everything
iron inlet
I mean yeah, you right.
gilded jackal
i'll most likely be buying anthem, its not too shabby imo. also hoping they take meh money and put it towards the C&C remaster 🤞
austere lance
Shadow of the Tomb Raider is fucking good so far, holy shit
Anthem is LIT @gilded jackal
cinder vessel
If you like speed and booms and weird shit, Sonic Forces is 👌
austere lance
Omg, assassinating people from a plant-covered wall is fun af!

Any Xbox game pass holders here? Thoughts?
I’ve got a PS4 pro, love the graphics, love the exclusives. But thinking of treating myself to an Xbox one and getting game pass. 
wouldn’t be able to get an X though so feel I’d notice the difference between the PS4 pro obv
There’s some of the games on the list I have. Obviously not the Xbox exclusives. Would be nice to play ones like sea of thieves and seen shadow of Tomb raider went on there today which I never got to finish on my PS4 before I traded it in
austere lance
I fuckin love Game Pass, it has all the Halo games on it and plenty of other goodies
@uncut bramble
uncut bramble
Nice! Believe it or not I never even played the halo games lol. You on X or just the regular one?
cinder vessel
abutchera it's Good Actually™
wait Matthew did you not transfer your data to the Pro before trading it in?
uncut bramble
Or wondering if I just get a Xbox 360 to fuck about with some games I missed (and replay RDR2!)
jade lake
((in your opinion)) @cinder vessel
uncut bramble
Ohh Leon I mean I traded in the physical copy of shadow 😃
cinder vessel
ooh gotcha!
and obvs Abutchera, lol
also a 360 would be cheaper, but with the One's backcompat including tweaks to make the old games look sharper, if you found a One on sale that might be worth grabbing
Altho that depends on if you happen to have any old Xbox or 360 games
uncut bramble
Yeah I’ve nothing Xbox at all! Always been PlayStation but don’t have my old consoles!
Just browsing on buy and sell haha. There’s obv a difference in price between 360 and one, but it’s not significant
cinder vessel
Have considered getting a XboxO myself just for the backcompat tbh
uncut bramble
But I’m like ... it’s just for a bit of “toy time”. PS4 will still be my primary. So I either go 360 or go all the way to the x lol
cinder vessel
But I have some old Xbox games
uncut bramble
Yeah backwards compatibility is where it’s at for that reason
cinder vessel
If you were to pick up a 360, be careful & go after the final revision models (black, glossy ones) as I think they sorted out a bunch of the hardware issues by that point
uncut bramble
Ohhh good advice thanks. Just seen an Xbox one for £80 but I’m a bit sceptical of that lol.
Funny I want a good deal then when I find one I’m sceptical 
cinder vessel
it's £80 but it's only like 15gb storage, lol
uncut bramble
Haha!
Maybe I’ll just shout out on Facebook and see if anyone has an Xbox of any description they wanna loan me for a few weeks to scratch the itch lol
cinder vessel
maybe, altho don't ya have a pretty decent PC, or am I misremembering?
uncut bramble
I do! Well it’s alright for most games. But honestly I find it a bit of a hassle. I play loads of simulation games on it but I prefer to sofa game. And can’t be bothered with having steam link etc all set up. Would rather just have something native. I know that sounds a bit awkward
cinder vessel
Oh nah, I get it, I play more on PS4 lately because it just feels like less trouble than sifting through settings menus on PC to get games right where I want them (and then them sometimes still not quite feeling right)
uncut bramble
Haha yeah there’s that aspect to it as well. I spend more time fiddling around wondering if the options are optimal. Then factoring in steam link to that haha. I’m glad it makes sense, most people think I’m weird when I say I’m not hot about pc gaming.
For simulation etc it’s great, but when it comes to FPS or adventure or something it just doesn’t feel right to me
uncut bramble
Yeah plug n play!
cinder vessel
Although I say that and I've spent the past day or so working away at restoring a HD because of the PS4's overly simplistic approach to reformatting hard drives
Then again that time taken is also due to me being a dumbass in how I've been using the program to do that at all, so lol
uncut bramble
Haha! You gotta have a bit of fun like that somewhere though lol
Just seen someone looking to swap a one x for a switch lol. But I do love my switch, just don’t get to play it too often. But I like the diversity between it and the PS4
cinder vessel
who...who would even go for that, lol
uncut bramble
Lol - Xbox one x is more expensive than switch though
cinder vessel
Switch has much better exclusives and the general portability of the device going for it
Hmm, I guess if you were going for flipping the X maybe
uncut bramble
Yeah the actual usability of it is much better.
I’m just like having a little urge here. I’m sure it’ll pass lol
jade lake
countin that smash money i suppose
cinder vessel
Nintendo's supposedly workin' on a new iteration of the Switch
uncut bramble
Maybe bows the time to trade in 😂
jade lake
i kinda doubt it tbh
uncut bramble
Nows*
cinder vessel
And of course they totally rebooted MP4 development
white token
Next first party game that'll be coming is that new Yoshi game.
cinder vessel
Nah, Nintendo almost always does several iterations of their hardware, so I can see'em doing that with Switch
jade lake
its a matter of time before Persona 5 on switch is announced
cinder vessel
Oh yeah, wasn't that just called Yoshi?
jade lake
we're p overdue for a direct
white token
Yoshi Crafty World or something?
cinder vessel
There's talk of that next week or somethin', the Direct i mean
white token
Yoshi's Crafted World apparently
cinder vessel
Oh huh
jade lake
tbh gmr everyone has been saying that since jan. 7th lol
cinder vessel
Yoshi and Kirby are the oddballs, even moreso than Star Fox and Metroid, with Nintendo's stuff...
Yeah, even the article I saw was jokin' about that
I sorta feel like I should pick up a Yoshi/Kirby game every now & then to give'em a try
cinder vessel
lol wat
white token
I'd need to give the latest Kirby a new try after all these patches.
jade lake
maybe you'll see what i mean when you play it
cinder vessel
Kirby low for Kirby standards so don't even try Kirby anything?
cinder vessel
I...Don't know which Kirby you're referring to, lol
jade lake
the switch one
white token
Star Allies?
jade lake
yea
white token
Or whatever it was called.
cinder vessel
Mm, I was talking any Kirby game, lol
cinder vessel
is all good, just was like, damn man got a hate thing for Kirby
cinder vessel
i guess the good thing with Kirby is you can basically hop in with almost any of'em and maybe have a decent time
jade lake
super star remains the king of kirby games
austere lance
@uncut bramble I'm on a normal Xbone and it can still run stuff like Shadow of the Tomb Raider fine, I recommend getting at least a One S tho
winter yew
Kirby Battle Royale tho
jade lake
ok
teal mason
isn't Kirby battle royale just Smash
rigid haven
There's an actual Kirby Battle Royale but it's not like fortnite or anything
ripe frost
fluid hare
I play KSP too! Currently putting a massive thing into Kerbin orbit.
uncut bramble
Ended up biting the bullet and buying an Xbox one s. Had to compromise! Didn’t want it for any game in particular but just loaded up Forza on game pass and holy smokes!!
austere lance
Halo Master Chief Collection, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Batman Return to Arkham, Ashen, Mass Effect 1, and tons of other great games are on there too @uncut bramble
I think all the Tomb Raiders are on there now
uncut bramble
Can’t wait to check them out! PS4 will still stay as my primary console and some I’ve played there (tomb raiders and Batman’s etc) but will definitely get shadow of the tomb raider.
Never played ANY halo game so keen to check those out! And downloading ashen too
austere lance
Ashen is beautiful, I loved it
uncut bramble
Got battlefield v with the bundle too. But it was mainly the game pass stuff I was interested in. Sea of thieves too!
uncut bramble
Never ever! I’ve always had PlayStation lol. Does it still hold up today?
austere lance
All 4 Halo games (5 if you pay $5 for Halo 3 ODST) on the Master Chief Collection are fuckin great. 4's campaign was a bit meh but I loved the multiplayer
uncut bramble
I’ve still to finish KH3 on PS4 too 🙈 but wanted an Xbox to tide me over while I wait for dreams lol
austere lance
And Halo 2 Anniversary looks 😍
austere lance
Boi
Halo was around over a decade before Destiny was a twinkle in Bungie's eye, lol
The first Halo modernized first-person shooters
uncut bramble
Haha no I know that much! But seen it compared a lot like “why don’t they do this like they did it in halo”
They’re remastered too right?
austere lance
Halo CE (the first game) and Halo 2 are remastered, 3 and 4 are just ported from the Xbox 360 and cleaned up a bit graphics and performance-wise
uncut bramble
Nice! Definitely gonna get tucked into those. My download list is so long right now. Thankfully I upgraded to 350mbps internet today hah
austere lance
You can switch between old and remastered graphics with the first and second games, it's great 😄
uncut bramble
That’s awesome! I really want RDR1 too. But I can’t spend any more money this day 🤣 the psnow experience of it was sub par and I never played it first time around either
austere lance
Switching between 2's old graphics and its remastered graphics is insane
Oh boi, I put over a hundred hours into RDR and Undead Nightmare individually
uncut bramble
Haha yikes! I loved the second one. But couldn’t do the psnow version of 1. That was one of the reasons for getting the Xbox. I think the S and X experience is similar for both
austere lance
I liked the first Redemption more than the second tbh
uncut bramble
I’ve heard a few say that. I just hope it still stands up AFTER playing the 2nd you know?
austere lance
It plays better imo. Your horse handles better, for one
uncut bramble
Ohhh nice. It felt so sticky on PSNOW but that’s the nature of the beast. Damn now I want to get it NOW haha!
austere lance
And it doesn't have the stupid health and stamina things
uncut bramble
I also got burnout paradise remastered downloading. Nostalgia paradise
austere lance
That you have to replenish with food
uncut bramble
So I need to pick up like goty edition right?
austere lance
Hell yeah
uncut bramble
Need to raid some bargain bins lol
austere lance
Undead Nightmare is one of the best DLC's ever made for any game period
Hell, it's better than most full games
uncut bramble
Yeeee I’m excited now
austere lance
Play through the regular game then Undead Nightmare
uncut bramble
Yeah definitely!!
austere lance
It has spoilers
uncut bramble
I wish I had more gamer friends. I’m sure someone would have it lying in a drawer lol
austere lance
Just raid a bargain bin at Wal-Mart or something, lol
austere lance
We're talking about the first Red Dead Redemption
uncut bramble
Muhaha
uncut bramble
Full. Stop.
austere lance
Excuse you, Red Dead Revolver was pretty good back in the day
rigid haven
Oh is that the third game?
austere lance
First
rigid haven
Soul you're not first, there's been a good few messages before that
uncut bramble
Wish they had it on game pass
austere lance
The very first Red Dead ever, it was wild back in the day. Then Red Dead Redemption came out and blew everyone's minds. Then Red Dead Redemption 2 came out and was decent but not as good as the first imo
uncut bramble
But the plans
uncut bramble
Yeah definitely
austere lance
Red Dead Redemption had a few references to it in multiplayer, lol
uncut bramble
I really hope they improve RDR2 Online or give some good single player dlc.
austere lance
I was 9 when Revolver came out back in '04 and I thought it was the coolest thing ever 😄
uncut bramble
Ouch I was like 16 haha
austere lance
Lol
uncut bramble
I dunno how I missed RDR1 honestly
austere lance
I don't know how tf you missed Halo if you were like 12 when it released, that game blew the minds of everyone between the ages of 5 and 30 😄
uncut bramble
Hahah!! I think I was really like in my own gaming world back then. Then I worked at sea for years with no internet access lol.
But I never had an Xbox ever
austere lance
The franchise is big enough that Halo 3's midnight release was literally all over the screens in Times Square
uncut bramble
Wow
austere lance
Yeah, the franchise is a wee bit popular 😄
uncut bramble
I knew it was big. But gun games didn’t overly appeal to me till a few years back honestly
austere lance
Ah, makes sense. It modernized first-person shooters
uncut bramble
I always was (still am) a bit of a platformer, puzzler, simulation
austere lance
Halo has always had a helluva universe and story, there's a reason there's so many books
uncut bramble
Yes!! I’ve heard that the universe is incredible. So on game pass I just start with the first and work through
austere lance
Yep, it has them in order on it. Halo CE-Halo 4
uncut bramble
Woohoo!!
austere lance
If you want a good bit of background that takes place between 2 and 3 you can pay $5 and get the ODST remaster for MCC
uncut bramble
The rate of stuff I have to play - that’s probably months away. I’m sure I’ll scrape together the 5 before then hah
austere lance
How long do you have Game Pass for?
uncut bramble
2 months out of the gate, but for £7.99 I’ll probably continue on with it if I’m still playing through shit.
There was one month of ea access too. And one month of gold live. But it didn’t work so they are sending me a code for 3 months gold as an apology!!
austere lance
Lol
uncut bramble
Winner lol
austere lance
Ashen is a beautiful game, I thought I would hate it because I usually hate Souls-like games but damn it's fun. They got a famous Fantasy author to create the universe for it and write the story @uncut bramble
uncut bramble
Nice! I didn’t look into it too much I just heard some guys talk about it here a few weeks ago! I’m keen to get tucked into it! Looks real pretty.
I was regretful I didn’t get an x but the S seems to hold its own pretty well
austere lance
It plays like Dark Souls and has a bunch of mechanics from it, which I thought would put me off it, but it's really good. It's not as painfully-hard as DS and the world and characters and art-style definitely make it unique
cinder vessel
@uncut bramble got'em
jade lake
@uncut bramble
uncut bramble
They’re all crawling out now, and my phone is nearly dead 😭😭😭
austere lance
As you can see it's quite nice to look at, lol
jade lake
how about that outer worlds game huh
cinder vessel
You might like Absolver then Matthew, if only for the style
uncut bramble
Ohhh I will check it 👀
cinder vessel
Outer Worlds is said to be about 40 hours or so long so I'll probably never finish it, lol
uncut bramble
Raiden? 🤣
jade lake
@cinder vessel its supposed to be between 15-40, which is a good number imo
im just glad its not a big game
cinder vessel
Anything past about 25 seems a bit much to me anymore
jade lake
i would rather have densely packed areas that have interesting things going on, instead of a giant map with empty space
cinder vessel
Especially considering a ton of it ends up being padding junk
jade lake
yee
they're focusing on quality over quantity, which is something i have mad respect for
cinder vessel
Will have to see how Outer Worlds turns out either way...
cinder vessel
The initial trailer's humor still has me somewhat concerned it just won't click with me
jade lake
im more interested in the factions, and if they all have interesting quests and storylines, and how that affects everything else
and yes, i do hope the humor is better than what we saw in the trailer
cinder vessel
I kind of don't want humor, but a general lightheartedness
Unless the game goes all out, like Jazzpunk, it often feels clumsy to me
austere lance
It looks like it'll have Borderlands humor, lol
Mainly because of the last gameplay video letting you pick "dumb" dialogue choices if you had low Intelligence points
jade lake
i heard there should be more gameplay next week
so i hope that shows off some good stuff
and yeah i love the dumb dialogue choices lmao
winter yew
Oh nice
jade lake
yee, game informer is doing a bunch of stuff on it this month
interviews, gameplay, etc
winter yew
I'll be sure to keep my eyes open.
winter yew
I don't do many day one buys anymore but it will for sure be a day one purchase for me.
austere lance
Honestly it just looks like a new Fallout NV, it even has a not-VATS
I hope there's more spaceship stuff
jade lake
you cant control your ship, but honestly im p cool with that
there are supposedly random encounters sometimes when you go between the 2 planets
austere lance
Nice
winter yew
I would welcome a solo mode
austere lance
Same
winter yew
I've unfortunately had the luck of being paired with tryhards that expect me to be expert at the game immediately.
I'm enjoying it WAAAAAAAY more than I thought I would.
Yea it is pretty fun
the 'jump leader' bit, that's pretty cool
is that in any other BR?
I don't believe so.
austere lance
I've played with some really good teams, we only communicated through pings and got second place
winter yew
Oh nice!
lmao
4th is the best I've done with a squad.
second game i played these guys were yelling at me to 'get a fucking mic'
austere lance
It's really easy to get into without a mic, I love it
rigid haven
I only play with friends, I'm too screamy for randoms
Battle Royale brings out my inner bitch
winter yew
Like, what a GREAT way to welcome somebody to a game
I turned the voice to text option on in the settings.
'get a fucking mic'
rigid haven
The scared bitch not the mean bitch
austere lance
I just mute voice chat on games
winter yew
i'm probably going to on mine
So whatever they are saying gets converted to text chat.
austere lance
And don't use a mic
winter yew
i disabled voice on warframe a lonnnnnnng time ago.
jade lake
battle royale is dum
winter yew
for the same reason
It's not accurate but it lets me get a decent understanding of what's being said.
nice
I've been playing Gibraltar.
austere lance
He's the only one I play
winter yew
His shield has saved my ass so many times.
austere lance
I like playing offensive support in games
rigid haven
I'll probably have to play Bangalore more
My friends get scared when I use her ult though
I'm too reckless 
winter yew
I haven't even played her yet.
Gibraltar, Lifer and the dude with the mask.
I can't remember his name 😐
rigid haven
Bloodhound?
austere lance
Idk, I've played with some good robo bois
Bloodhound is fucking awesome if used right
Plus he has a helluva sense of humor, lol. Not as good as the robot tho 😂
winter yew
I'll give him a decent chance in that case.
rigid haven
I mean, when push comes to shove, they're all kinda the same
I don't know if there are any HP variables, and damage is based on the guns, which are scattered all over
austere lance
"The champion has died. That sure makes our job easier"
Absolute madlad, lol
But they can all do different things when push comes to shove
Drop shields, spot enemies, make portals, zip around with a grapple, use toxic gas, deploy holograms, use smoke grenades.....they all handle quite differently
winter yew
That's fair.
austere lance
If I'm getting pushed as Gibraltar I'll react differently than I would if I was being pushed as Lifeline, lol
winter yew
i havent found one i am comfy playing as yet
but thats just cuz i havent had much time to
I wish Lifelines drone followed though, I understand why it doesn't.
Gibraltar is for sure my comfortable player.
R-301 and Wingman loadout 👌
austere lance
The true support characters are Bloodhound and the robot, imo. Lifeline just counts as a healer, which is separate from support in my mind
winter yew
I'm torn how I feel though cause I love Apex but hate battle royale.
Apex for sure does have the movement of Titanfall.
But I dunno what I'm enjoying about it if that makes any sense.
I keep finding myself "one more game".
austere lance
RIGHT
I hate BR but love Apex, which seems to be the general consensus for the game among us anti-BR peeps 😂
austere lance
I swear it's the ping system
Makes it 18x more accessible than other BR games
And between all 8 Legends there's guaranteed to be one that matches your play-style
It's ridiculous, Gibraltar Lifeline and Bloodhound basically all encompass the different ways I'll play games depending on my mood and I'll switch between them easily
winter yew
Huh, I think that's a pretty fair way to look at it.
Switching it up makes it easy to change the play style.
I noticed when I played that some of the other players don't have level numbers but instead have icons and I haven't worked out what they are yet.
My Google fu hasn't helped to find answers either.
winter yew
Yeah that's the assumption I took, some sort of paid thing.
austere lance
People are actually dropping the game completely and bitching on the internet because apparently Gibraltar is gay, lol.
Imagine being that insecure
winter yew
Holy shit, some people lmao
jade lake
reminds me of that whole OW thing
jade lake
you would what
winter yew
He is thicc boi
jade lake
same
rigid haven
Battle Royale but I'll be the last man standing
winter yew
LMAO
rigid haven
Because after Gibraltar, I won't be sitting for weeks~~
austere lance
Some of the characters have cool little backgrounds. Like Mirage's mother inventing the holo-tech Pilots use, or Gibraltar's parents being search and rescue people on Frontier planets
jade lake
ohh k @rigid haven
austere lance
Caustic is a mad scientist that worked on pesticides before deciding "testing" would work better on living organisms
austere lance
Bloodhound is known across the Outlands as one of the greatest game hunters the Frontier has ever seen – and that’s about all anyone knows. Their identity is a mystery wrapped in layers of rumors: they are fabulously wealthy, a bloodthirsty murderer, a Goliath whisperer, a former slave, half bat, and a dozen other things depending on who’s doing the whispering.
rigid haven
Why kill the enemy when you can just trick them into looking the other way while you run off like a bitch
Wait, has anyone tried melee yet?
How strong is a punch, I wonder
winter yew
Yeah I suck at it.
You can punch people off the edge of things.
I punched someone off the roof of a building.
But they did not die.
rigid haven
fall damage not being a thing sucks
austere lance
How far away can you place Wraith's voids? I just realized if the distance is good enough she could be a helluva sniper killer
winter yew
That is a great question
One of the squad members I played with placed a portal next to a downed player and ignored them a second to take the enemy out.
Gave the downed player opportunity to get away safely.
It worked.
austere lance
That's awesome
winter yew
I was already firing at the enemy so I was busy.
austere lance
People are gonna figure out all kinds of tricks with her
Everybody that's ever played the Portal games probably has some ideas to try with her, lol
Can you shoot through portals?
winter yew
I haven't tried.
austere lance
Also, they really need to have the tutorial map be open and let you try any character on it
Like Paladins
winter yew
Yeah, a place to have a real test of characters.
austere lance
I'm sure they'll add it, the cheeky buggers already teased solo and duo lobbies
My phone refuses to acknowledge teased is a word and keeps trying to autocorrect to traded 😤
This has character backgrounds btw
https://www.ign.com/wikis/apex-legends/Characters_(Legends)
winter yew
I will check that out, I love background stories as it helps build the character.

Wait waht.

Yep

I can't believe scopes increase Bloodhound's tracking range, holy shit
Fuck me, I guess he's my anti-sniper
So many unknown details

He's gunna be the first character I play tomorrow.

Imma try him in a couple minutes 😄
winter yew
Nice!
rigid haven
How much more Dead Space do you have to work through?
brisk merlin
ds3 has like 19 chapters compared to the 12/15 of the prev games
rigid haven
oh damn
I know that, usually, games like that can't keep interest for too long
7-15 hours is what you're usually looking at in terms of story
brisk merlin
ds1 was like 4-5
rigid haven
Holy shit that's kinda short
rigid haven
Games that lock progress behind weapons which you need to grind hard for make me jizz with anger
rigid haven
I wanna play Dead Space
I remember playing a tiny bit of the first one on xbox then being too scared to continue
brisk merlin
thers somethjing wrong with this
rigid haven
wait was dead space on xbox

Hours played

DEAD SPACE IS FUCKING BEAUTIFUL

I played as whoever it was that was having the hallucinations

play kingdom hearts 3
austere lance
Nyet, I've never touched the series
rigid haven
it's fun and if you don't play any of the other games, it's like a psychological horror movie
Because psychological horror movies are all about leaving out details and introducing plotlines that are already nearing their end

CHAMPION STATUS WON, BABY!
rigid haven
Is that when you win a match and enter the next one?
austere lance
My team just won with one kill and nobody on our squad going down 😂
rigid haven
And you pop up on the screen at the start?
austere lance
Idk, we just won and now I'm back at the main menu
rigid haven
Oh, unless literally everyone else died and you just finished the last guy off
rigid haven
I once shut myself in a room, alone, with a full team
Really bad idea
Oh wait, no one made it out of that, huh
They shot me, my team broke in, my team shot them, they shot my team
Maybe, like, one guy made it out
There truly is no advantage to war, smh
austere lance
Bruh
cinder vessel
wait.
did dead space inadvertently follow a similar path to the FEAR series?
rigid haven
Started with horror and moved on to shooter or something?
cinder vessel
more like solo experience, then more coop & also yeah, actiony
austere lance
DS 3 was the only one with co-op
And 2 was way scarier than 1
3 was basically just a third-person shooter with little horror (unless you played as the insane soldier in co-op)
Still fun tho
Speaking of F.E.A.R, I've only played 3 xD
cinder vessel
So has anyone here kept up with Starlink?
I know at least one person here picked it up but can't remember who, lol
winter yew
I looked at it once because of the Starfox content on the Switch version but I dont have a Switch so I ignored it.
but it seems like a good time
cinder vessel
Yeah, it's really cheap right now so I'm thinking of going for it. Was thinking someone that had it could chime in on what's up with the parts, earning vs. buying, if that's even a thing
winter yew
couldn't hurt to check it out
according to this article https://www.polygon.com/2018/10/15/17978352/starlink-battle-for-atlas-extra-lives-ships-cost
you dont really need the toys
which platform are you thinking of getting it on
cinder vessel
@willow crypt, did you eventually bounce from Starlink?
I think the only platform i have that it will work with is PS4, so that
winter yew
hold up i didnt know it was on ps4 >.>
i allllllllmost wanna get it now
most reviews i'm seeing of the game seem to be pretty solid
cinder vessel
Apparently the version I was looking at that's cheaper is kinda shafted by having way fewer included ships 😩
winter yew
but that being said it seems to suffer from the same thing most modern ubisoft games all have in common : grinding the same objectives in different areas
cinder vessel
Yeeaah
And the respawn system sounds utterly fucked by the toy/ship system, unless they changed that in an update

i say save your money 😛
i'm not sure WHEN this is coming out but you could always try this out when it releases https://youtu.be/LqM8FWi6oo0
I have the iOS version and its a pretty standard game
if you have played Everspace, its a lot like that but without the roguelite aspect
or Galaxy on Fire, if youve ever played any of those
review of the older iOS version from 2017
but apparently the Deluxe version is being done in Unreal Engine 4
they've also redesigned the game to feel different than the mobile version, so I'm very excited to see how it differs in that aspect
willow crypt
@cinder vessel I haven't played in a while, but I'd like to jump back in eventually. The planets are gorgeous, the lore is interesting and the shooting and upgrading is fun. Don't care for the toys side of the game. I do recommend it if you're looking for a shooter that feels solid with satisfying upgrading mechanics
cinder vessel
oof, digital edition of starlink has rarely gone on sale too
You went with a retail copy, yeah?
willow crypt
The planet missions are a little repetitive, but I think they're continuing to update the game
Digital, PS4
cinder vessel
oh, hrm
May just wait till they put it on sale, as the starter set seems like kind of a cruel joke
willow crypt
Might as well. Plenty of other good stuff out there right now
willow crypt
No problemo, it'll be worth it eventually
rigid haven
That is a good price, if it comes with the toys, too
cinder vessel
Btw, they haven't updated it this year yet, but they definitely did over the holidays, introducing new enemies, flora & fauna, and photo mode
It only comes with the one ship @rigid haven, whereas digital comes with 4
winter yew
owoo
cinder vessel
And you use those ships like lives, as I understand it
winter yew
I juuuuuust realized there was a steam sale going on lol.
cinder vessel
Not so far as I'm aware
rigid haven
Damn
cinder vessel
Classic Ubisoft
I honestly kind of want it just because I'm curious about the toy build quality & such, lol
Hmm, and then I could wait for the DLC collection to go on sale and still have saved a decent bit of cash
winter yew
Found the remix of Crazy Train for the recent trailer for Anthem https://youtu.be/LgzwpmwFokE
austere lance
For the love of FUCK somebody please put solo mode in Apex 😤

austere lance
The CoD kiddies are out in droves now
rigid haven
What's a cod kiddy
austere lance
The hordes of 10 year old kids that worship Call of Duty and like to invade other popular shooters and bring down their matchmaking quality, lol. On Friday I was playing with cool randos that communicated through pings and didn't have "OPSWagt06" gamertags, now I only find the annoying kids that spam revive pings when they rush things and get wrecked
cinder vessel
s0ul get some friends, lol
rigid haven
I rush things and I'm always the last to die
Mainly because my strat is smoking the place up
austere lance
THANK YOU FOR USING STRATEGY! I mostly see idiots rush around with no upgraded weapons or any armor whatsoever, it's heinous
brisk merlin
I run around with my fists
And get champion
3 times
Idk how I've gotten champion honestly
I suck n all lmao
rigid haven
I've gotten a total of 6 kills
Usually I hide with my team and wait until everyone is dead, then chance it
cinder vessel
i've only gotten 1 kill, lol
but i've mainly been playing lifeline
also i caved and picked up starlink. It's a sharp lookin' game, and pretty fun to play so far too, even with just the one ship and three weapons
the toy ship is nicely built, pilot's a little eeh on the paintjob, particularly around the head, but otherwise it's all pretty nicely made
willow crypt
nice
cinder vessel
Razor Lemay is the best tho
light cairn
Starlink 👌
cinder vessel
it reminds me of what i liked about NMS' original look
austere lance
austere lance
raven frost
... soon...
meager panther
austere lance
That video is fucked up, lol. He just gas-chambered them
@winter yew Apex Legends, lol?
meager panther
I need to try that
winter yew
Yeah but Apex is Respawn.
meager panther
Is it system heavy
austere lance
@meager panther You literally just posted a video from it, lol
austere lance
Same, it's horrifically addicting
winter yew
I dunno, I don't look at requirements. 🤷
winter yew
Please do, it's a ton of fun.
I did around 20 hours over the weekend.
And today it's all I want to do.
winter yew
Huh, pretty reasonable specs tbh
austere lance
winter yew
I'm not working next week and literally plan to waste all of it playing Apex.
meager panther
Yeah I just saw the specs on the website
Seems good to go
I might be able to run it on ultra
Or close to that
winter yew
Let me know if you do, I got no friends to squad up with.
austere lance
Make sure to punch the little robots
winter yew
I've only found one.
I punched it because I didn't wanna give my position away.
:tapheademoti:
austere lance
I've found 5 or 6 so far, they're usually in buildings in heavily populated areas
winter yew
It was a building I found mine in.
As soon as I opened the door it was right in front of me.
austere lance
I find em in the big factories and offices
meager panther
I actually used to play the unreal tournament games
Anyone remember those?
This seems like that
Is it?
winter yew
This is battle royale for people who hate battle royale.
But yeah Unreal is a pretty nice comparison.
meager panther
Ok. I will try it in a day or two
winter yew
It's not as fast paced as Unreal but it is fast paced.
winter yew
Can ping locations/items to your squad so can communicate without communicating.
meager panther
Oh
winter yew
Is VOIP to text settings also so you can still read what's being said over mic if you care for that.
meager panther
I am really bad and easily get killed if it is not possible to have a hiding space to snipe about
Not really good at upfront combat
Used to die so much in unreal,Halo etc if I was out in open
winter yew
Oh there's plenty of hiding spots, can even climb a good height.
meager panther
Oh cool
winter yew
I've placed 1st place 4 times now and I'm awful.
meager panther
Lol
echo hill
we talking about Apex?
meager panther
Nont
echo hill
idk why i havent been able to get into it...
winter yew
Hahaha
winter yew
Squad choice definitely helps.
echo hill
like i recognize that it's objectively a good game but for some reason I don't have that much fun playing it
willow crypt
who
echo hill
i probably would if they added a solo mode
winter yew
Has been times my squad has been wiped out in less than a minute.
echo hill
jeez
meager panther
What kinda weapons do you get?
winter yew
Ones that shoot bullets.
meager panther
Do you have a rocket pod kinda stuff
Or like one that has good explosive effect
On impact
echo hill
oh thats my favorite kind hex
winter yew
You got power ups.
meager panther
Oh
winter yew
The dude I use can call in air strikes.
winter yew
Just rains hellfire on the position you call it to.
meager panther
Wow
Nice
Any game,I always go for the rocket launcher
It's the best for me
Long range, maximum effect
winter yew
Yes we are.
rigid haven
Cool
meager panther
Idk is it rocket stuffM
echo hill
which character makes me win
echo hill
is reddit down for anyone else?
rigid haven
Prolly Bloodhound
winter yew
Bloodhound is my go to if someone else calls Gibraltar.
echo hill
honestly i just want titanfall 3
rigid haven
Triple Take is hwlla powerful, use that
meager panther
Hmmm
echo hill
or for titanfall 2 to have a bigger playerbase
meager panther
I am gonna get it in a day
winter yew
Titanfall 2 is +10,000 players right now.
echo hill
oh wot
winter yew
Yeah it's revived lmao
winter yew
austere lance
Tripletake is hilarious, I was wrecking an entire enemy team with it yesterday to the point where they ran away xD
They ran so hard that I recovered my team' ID badges and revived them at a terminal 😂
winter yew
I haven't played Bangalore yet =\
cinder vessel
can you avoid Bangalore's air strikes by hiding under stuff?
austere lance
Her air strikes don't go through buildings, thankfully
cinder vessel
I swear they did one match though, that or they have some intense splash
austere lance
I've always been safe in buildings 🤷
That video of the Caustic player locking everyone in a room and gas-chambering them is fucked, lol
meager panther
I mean
That's hilarious
You must be dumb to enter that room in the first place
Get fucked if you do
cinder vessel
some would say it's the only way to make Caustic useful, lol
austere lance
Thus is the way of Apex, lol
meager panther
I mean that's the oldest trick in the book
austere lance
Caustic is a monster at defending a building, people win with him all the time
cinder vessel
guess opinions changed then, early on everyone was complaining about him being useless
which out in the field is probably still pretty true, guy really needs his chokepoints
austere lance
Just hide canisters by rocks and stuff and lead enemies to em 😂
rigid haven
You can hide from her strikes, I think
I haven't checked because my team says "DONT DO THAT"
austere lance
slim cedar
echo hill
hahah
austere lance
austere lance
Serious Sam 4 should hurry up
austere lance
Wot
peak whale
and 1-2 mil with backers
a space game where everyones on the same server
and they can build or break anything
reef storm
teal mason
or they can spend 8 years doing minor features instead 🤔
peak whale
???
echo hill
hahaha
i carried too
i had 5 kills and only one other player on my team had a single kill
austere lance
It's so friggin addictive
cinder vessel
I can't shoot for shit half the time
cinder vessel
I've played it very intermittently since it came out & have yet to hit a win, but also haven't played with anyone I know either so
echo hill
i was just random queueing
austere lance
Yeah I just play with randos and no mic
echo hill
ditto
austere lance
It's a team game I can play antisocially 🙌
cinder vessel
so uh, starlink got its hooks in me, on a completely different note
reef storm
Starlink isn't a bad game, honestly.
Got it recently. My son and I have probably put 3 or 4 hours into it so far, but it's one I'll casually play
cinder vessel
Did you get sucked into the toys tho?
reef storm
Nope. Digital buy
cinder vessel
I got sucked into the toys since I got the starter set dirt cheap at $20 😩
reef storm
Came with Fox anyway, so didn't need the toys lol
cinder vessel
but Joe, physical model Arwing
cinder vessel
seriously tho it hit me after getting the game that like...Have they ever produced a model Arwing for sale before Starlink?
because talk about money left on the table
reef storm
That's....a valid point, actually.
austere lance
Bruh I bet they add a Simulacrum like Ash from Titanfall 2 to Apex, that would be sketchy af
cinder vessel
i'm just a sucker for model spaceships tho, tbh, so i shoulda known better than to indulge in Starlink
The sucky thing with Starlink tho is that even if you do get the digital version, you still gotta cough up some more cash for some other stuff, unless ya get the deluxe edition I guess
jade lake
I’ve been playing persona 3 lately
I like it but wow it’s soundtrack consists of like 4 songs
Or at least it feels like it
it’s not a bad ost it’s just incredibly repetitive
light cairn
are you dissing the p3 ost 
light cairn
i haven't fully beaten any of the persona games but i've played bits of 3,4, and 5 but 3s ost defo stuck in my head the most
cinder vessel
P4 is at times a little too chipper
light cairn
P4G op is 👌
cinder vessel
Yeah, I can dig that, I like the more loungy style of P3
jade lake
Where in 4 all of them were interesting
cinder vessel
I want to say P3 is more like the first of the modern Persona games in a way
jade lake
It is
cinder vessel
Which would explain why it's kinda lacking in some respects
cinder vessel
Well the reason I say I want to say that is because I've not played P1 or P2
So I'm not sure what P3 may have incorporated from them
light cairn
none of the other games have a track where a deep voice guy says "hey get up off of that thing, there's shit on that swing" and that's why p3's ost is objectively superior
cinder vessel
lol Skip
jade lake
the p3 fight theme is stuck in my head
and it only gets good generally by the time the battle is nearly over
light cairn
now that you mention it Leon, loungy is a really good way to describe a lot of the p3 ost
jade lake
I’d say the game in general also
cinder vessel
That's a lot of what I like about it
P4G felt more...Hectic, or energetic, which is fun in bursts but can kinda be a bit much at times
austere lance
Has never so much as looked at gameplay for a Persona game
Idk what they're even about
light cairn
they're a combination of turn based jrpg dungeon crawler with life sim aspects
cinder vessel
JRPG x visual novel
austere lance
Wtf
austere lance
What
The
Fuck
cinder vessel
lol
light cairn
i can't tell if this is a good or bad reaction
austere lance
Much confusion, lol
light cairn
yeah the themes are
P3: Death
P4: Truth
P5: Rebellion/Justice
not that that's particularly relevant unless you're playing 
austere lance
LMAO
echo hill
who finna squad up in apex?
light cairn
make BT a playable character
cinder vessel
...can you form an entire squad of Pathfinders?
light cairn
i wish
austere lance
Lol
cinder vessel
entire match of pathfinders
light cairn
i literally said that earlier today, how did you know 👀
rare coral
skip why havent you gone to bed yet
light cairn
neber
austere lance
I'd probably just go hide in a corner if I found a Simulacrum hunting me tbh, Ash was creepy af
rare coral
your gonna be so tired
light cairn
😤
cinder vessel
skip sle--wait no that's not right
rare coral
"wait thats illegal"
cinder vessel
so what platform have you all been playing apex legends on anyway?
rare coral
pc
light cairn
si
rare coral
austere lance
Ash was scary enough when I was in a Titan
I'm good if it looks like this tho
Still kinda creepy cuz it's a human consciousness uploaded into a robot but not as horrifying as Ash, lol
If they add one it'll probably be Jester
cinder vessel
Hmm, I keep thinking about playing Apex Legends, but not sure if there's much more to see/bother with
light cairn
it's free, might as well give it a shot imo
cinder vessel
I mean I have, but I'm not sure whether to hop into another round or so
light cairn
ah
cinder vessel
No narrative progression, and the unlocks are just kinda whatever, so it's pretty hmm
light cairn
you are the narrative 💥
light cairn
short story
cinder vessel
and the short story is frequently, "scrambled to find gun but died before finding one" or "found gun but couldn't shoot worth a damn"
austere lance
Lol
cinder vessel
i would be really interested in seeing an inverted battle royale that's more like cooperative Pikmin, where you have a gradually dissipating landscape to scavenge to scrap together an escape rocket or somethin'
light cairn
cinder vessel
building is harder than killing
light cairn
tell that to fortnite players lol
cinder vessel
remains true, none of what they build can become anything as the storm sweeps over the space, they throw together ramshackle huts built to burn
(and yeah i know joke but)
cinder vessel
Wow fuck this guy, got to the end of a match in Apex Legends and after they killed me they shot my corpse up some more and teabagged it, fuck them
light cairn
quality bm
cinder vessel
?
light cairn
bad manners
cinder vessel
also i reached the end solo just proving to me that squads just make me fuck up i guess, lol
who are these people, with all these kills, what
light cairn
¯_(ツ)_/¯
austere lance
People like this are ridiculous
echo hill
i saw someone with over 1800 earlier
he killed me too 😩
i got another win too
is fun game
cinder vessel
can't get anywhere
is sad game
austere lance
Just be Bloodhound or Wraith and play solo when you run into jackass teammates, lol
cinder vessel
game is honestly pretty boring solo, and you just get wrecked when you come up against a squad
austere lance
Gotta fight dirty when you're solo, lots of grenades and bs guns like Wingman and Tripletake
echo hill
yeah
cinder vessel
zero idea wtf is even a good gun because i just get fuckin' steamrolled before i can even use'em
echo hill
i love the peacekeeper 😩
cinder vessel
i kinda hate armor/shields?
austere lance
Peacekeeper with that fuckin charge shot is insane
echo hill
yeah dude
austere lance
I scared an entire team to the point where they ran away when I had a Tripletake, lol
austere lance
God I love that thing
cinder vessel
i think i should stop playing, it's already hit that point where there are people good at it 😩
austere lance
If they exposed themselves or went near my downed teammates they got blasted, they ended up dropping a Gibraltar shield and reviving themselves so they could run away 😂
Then I collected my team's ID's and revived them at a terminal
They promptly chased after the other team with zero gear and got annihilated
echo hill
hahaha
austere lance
I think they grabbed like one gun and armor piece each
All my effort wasted 😤
This explains my quality teammates lately
https://www.engadget.com/2019/02/11/apex-legends-25-million-players/
cinder vessel
i'm definitely just gonna not play for awhile
cinder vessel
getting to the end of a match only to be teabagged, these days, is just...really?
austere lance
They'll probably just make everyone play as a generic grunt with no abilities in solo, lol
cinder vessel
squads i've been with have been fine so there's that, but eh
i'm glad most of'em didn't even bother with voice chat
austere lance
Everyone playing as Bangalore would make me off myself, lol
cinder vessel
then again, i shoulda seen the community being meh right away when someone in voice called me a dumbass on the first day
austere lance
I've yet to use voice chat, lol. Or plug in a mic 😄
Plus I always mute incoming voice in games
I'm anti-social
Hence me wanting solo mode
cinder vessel
i just mute because 90% of the time the voice quality is shit
and when it's not shit it's someone being an ass, or just loud
austere lance
I don't think I've used a mic in a year, lol. I mostly play singleplayer games
If I play multiplayer it's stuff like Titanfall 2 or Halo where I can do fine with no voice chat
cinder vessel
I only mic up when playing with friends i know, but since they play mainly on console and console requires BS fees to play with them, I just haven't
Plus we can hardly ever agree on a MP game to commit to, sooo
Like about the only MP game we came close to playing regularly was Helldivers
austere lance
Hopefully ranked play makes all the tryhards leave
echo hill
lol tfw i said i was gunna go to bed but instead im playing more apex...
echo hill
hahaha
winter yew
It's so addicting.
echo hill
it is indeed
winter yew
I'm glad you gave it another chance 😛
echo hill
yeah im glad i did too
echo hill
we oughtta squad up
meager panther
I will download it today night
winter yew
I haven't squadded up with anyone from here yet.
meager panther
I haven't even downloaded it yet
Other than a epic account,I don't need anything else right?
winter yew
Origin account*
winter yew
But correct, need nothing else other than the game.
meager panther
Nice
winter yew
It genuinely is a good game.
winter yew
Purple and gold weapons/equipment on the drop ship though. 😩
echo hill
yeah but everyone wants to touch you inappropriately
winter yew
Lmao
echo hill
hex who do you main?
reef storm
winter yew
Gibraltar
echo hill
gdi joe
reef storm
heh
winter yew
Bloodhound is my backup if someone picks Gibraltar first.
meager panther
Lmao
That pin
Does it have any hulk buster like stuff?
And this is a hulkbuster
.rimg hulkbuster
neon torrentBOT
winter yew
Hulk buster? 🤔
winter yew
He's great, he's my main character.
Played correctly he's a beast.
That being said, that could go for any character you pick tbh
echo hill
i just lost 2nd place 😩
meager panther
Do you have a list of guns in Apex?
echo hill
nompe
meager panther
Oh
