[rigid haven]

Hasn't Mass Effect finished completely?

[willow crypt]

I don't think there's anything saying they're over

[austere lance]

They're not done with ME or Dragon Age

[willow crypt]

Gud

[winter yew]

Doesn’t seem like the future of Dragon Age or Mass Effect is very bright

Mass Effect’s last release wasn’t highly rated either, just like Anthem appears to be

Critically-speaking, I mean. I could tell it would get mediocre reviews when the little sites reported similar scores

[cinder vessel]

i'd like them to make more new ips instead of mass effect/dragon age forever & ever

[winter yew]

Yeah. At the very least, if they mess up on any of the new IPs, the fallout isn’t quite as bad

[jade lake]

Bethesda has become the lowest of the low

[winter yew]

I actually bought 76 to play it with a friend and I probably got more frustrated at that game than... well, ever

[jade lake]

I actually paid 60$ for that

[cinder vessel]

todddd

[winter yew]

Every single mechanic feels like it’s riddled with bugs so hard that you can’t even play it right

[jade lake]

all because it had the fallout name on it

this was Todd’s plan all along

I’m just another pawn in his game

[winter yew]

Also, keep this in mind:

It’s been almost four to five months since the game’s release and all the patches have been mostly bug fixes

[cinder vessel]

smh, where's your god howard now?

[fluid hare]

That’s why they’re called patches.

[jade lake]

godd*

[cinder vessel]

zogg?

[jade lake]

zogg indeed

[winter yew]

I mean, no content updates

They’re entirely a triple A company so I have literally no forgiveness for them.

[jade lake]

yeah same

not even looking forward to star field or tes VI in the slightest

Outer worlds however

Gimme

[winter yew]

They must’ve done no QA testing because if you play the game longer than twenty minutes and do literally anything the game falls apart

[cinder vessel]

tfw they released it right after ditching qa teams /s

[winter yew]

Yep, lol

[cinder vessel]

oddly enough I'm kinda more interested in Dying Light 2, at least if the story is really improved

[jade lake]

more interested in it than what

[cinder vessel]

than like, Outer Worlds

[jade lake]

ooohhh

yeah DL2 looked p solid

hope it’s good

[winter yew]

DL2’s devs are great

[cinder vessel]

the only real knock I had against the first was that the story sounded super bland, so if they fix that, should be cool

[meager panther]

Anyone playing ace combat 7

I wanna know what's a good weapon

[full pivot]

For me 4x 8x AA missiles for sp air combat missions, and any 4x or guided bombs for ground heavy stuff depending on how many targets

For example the A10s 4x AG bombs were a life saver in the desert fuel supply strike mission

I don't know if I'd find railguns that great since they need to be aimed

Just FYI dogfighting drones in an A10 is mildly frustrating

[reef storm]

@meager panther

[full pivot]

Thx I never ping people still cuz on my first server everyone used to throw a massive bitch fit any time... 😅

[reef storm]

YW - let em try bitching at me 😛

[reef storm]

Speaking of AC7....time to try this out.

[echo hill]

Just got Exodus 😩

[cinder vessel]

so, uh, with my GPU upgrade NMS runs at a pretty consistent 60 fps, some dips to 55-50, and sharp dips on entering ship & descending to planets but quickly enough recovers. Smoothed out a bunch once I tossed out my settings files & let the game regenerate them, then tweaked some little details (no motion blur )

Pretty sure it'll handle other semi-old games I have with no problems if it can deal with NMS' weirdness, lol

oooh, i should play some more Signal From Tolva with settings tuned up a little, should be able to deal with the lighting now

[meager panther]

Hmm I completed the game ace 7

The last mission is dumb

You fly in a room in a aerial dogfight game

Wtf kinda final mission is that

[bronze wind]

Lol daymeeuhn (the guy that bought nms for 1k prerelease) made a giant "how to fix anthem" post on the anthem sub and it got a bunch of Reddit gold/silver/etc

[winter yew]

Hmmmm

Niiice

[willow crypt]

Sounds like some good solutions

[austere lance]

Tfw Bethesda bans one of the few players that plays their shit game because he had too much ammo hoarded

[willow crypt]

Yeah that's ridiculous

I'd be surprised if Bethesda hasn't righted that wrong yet though

[bronze wind]

I hate Bethesda but I'm still gonna buy tes6 because uhh fuck Bethesda 😎

[willow crypt]

I'm gonna buy Starfield because screw them

[meager panther]

Same

I am gonna buy starfield because it better than nms probably

[wild oyster]

starfield?

[meager panther]

Bethesda starfield

[jade lake]

@bronze wind zogg disapproves

[willow crypt]

It's going to be good. Because it'll be a single player Bethesda game

[meager panther]

I don't understand why hate Bethesda? Didn't they make Skyrim

And shit

[jade lake]

after FO4 and 76 I just don’t anymore with Bethesda

don’t know*

[bronze wind]

Until starfield and tes6

[willow crypt]

People sorta hate them because of how they're handling 76

And how they've sorta devolved the rpg elements of their games

[meager panther]

Well I hope they make starfield good
.. otherwise they gonna have some field time with me

[bronze wind]

😳

[willow crypt]

I'll punch their field

I'll throw their printers into their field and beat them with my heal

[meager panther]

😵

(+_+)

👾

[jade lake]

like that one scene from office space

[meager panther]

💪

[willow crypt]

Anyway, I think they'll make some advancements in their RPG elements

[meager panther]

It better have procedural multibiome planets

[bronze wind]

They said it wouldn't be procedural

[willow crypt]

I would like a hybrid procedural/non procedural multiplanet game

[bronze wind]

Wait nvm

[willow crypt]

But thats fine if it aint

[meager panther]

They said it's not procedural?

Well as long it's not mile wide and shallow

It's ok

[bronze wind]

I think I'm thinking of Outer worlds

[willow crypt]

Oh yeah

[meager panther]

Oh

[jade lake]

we don’t know anything about starfield

[meager panther]

Yeah

[bronze wind]

We have no info on that for starfield yet

[willow crypt]

That game will be more linear

[meager panther]

That is non procedural

[bronze wind]

Yeah

[jade lake]

Outer worlds is gonna be small

[bronze wind]

Got it mixed up, my bad

[meager panther]

Yeah it has like 2 planets

[jade lake]

Which I really like

[bronze wind]

Small pp

[willow crypt]

I love linear games

[meager panther]

Pp

[jade lake]

I’m glad the smaller, focused single player rpg isn’t dead yet

[bronze wind]

[willow crypt]

Linear games are a good break from overly ambitious open world games

[bronze wind]

It's never been dead

[jade lake]

ik

emphasis on yet

[meager panther]

Yeah nearly all games are linear..except the battle royale nonsense

[willow crypt]

I mean, these open world games could be called linear I guess if they have a focused story you can follow

[jade lake]

I’m expecting a medium sized world for outer worlds

[willow crypt]

More metro Exodus sized

[jade lake]

i really like the art style tbh

yeah

[willow crypt]

The art style is nice

Almost like a sci-fi wizard of oz

[meager panther]

They literally said you explore 3 or 2 planets

That's it

In the game

[jade lake]

ok?

[willow crypt]

That's plenty

[meager panther]

Yeah I mean that's huge

It's three fully created planets

[jade lake]

they aren’t fully created

[willow crypt]

Ain't there a moon?

No wait

[jade lake]

you guys should probably check out all the game informer stuff

[willow crypt]

I think I'm thinking of cyberpunk

[jade lake]

you seem a little misunderstood @meager panther

[bronze wind]

misunderstood or misinformed

[meager panther]

One solar system called Halcyon

The solar system contains two main planets, several moons, asteroids, and space stations that players can explore

One planet is terraformed, the other is not

The terraformed planet is considered "kinder to human life" while the other planet is not and is considered more dangerous and contains alien predators

Players will have a home base space ship like Mass Effect's Normandy

Passkeys needed to access certain locations and docks

Environments are small but have intense detail

Roaming around environments is possible

There are points of no return

One explorable planet

[jade lake]

misinformed my bad

[meager panther]

One not so safe planet

And few moons

[jade lake]

they aren’t fully created tho

You only explore a certain area of them

[meager panther]

Hmmm

[willow crypt]

I like that

[meager panther]

That I didn't know

🤔

[jade lake]

same zug

[willow crypt]

I wonder if Beyond Good and Evil 2 devs will succeed in making a full planet exciting to fully explore

That'll be a tough thing to do

[bronze wind]

Oh you're zug

[willow crypt]

I change name back now

[bronze wind]

Hot

[willow crypt]

Okay

Whoops

[bronze wind]

Z rug

[brisk merlin]

SH-RUG

[meager panther]

I still don't understand how it has zones

Yet it has planets you can explore

[bronze wind]

You can explore different zones

Think dragon age games

[meager panther]

What happens if you go to a place on the planet outside the zones

🤔

[bronze wind]

You can't lmao

[meager panther]

How lol

[bronze wind]

That's the point

[meager panther]

It's a planet

You fly

To it

[bronze wind]

Probbalt just select a spot and land there

[meager panther]

Oh

[bronze wind]

No manual flying

[meager panther]

No free flight?

Oh lmao

[bronze wind]

Probably not

[meager panther]

Then what happens on walking to end of zone?

You die I guess?

Like in mass effect?

[bronze wind]

Probably a wall?

[willow crypt]

They'll probably have some cool way of keeping you within the map

[meager panther]

[bronze wind]

Have you literally never played a game with boundaries before?

[willow crypt]

Like the wind in journey/anthem

[meager panther]

I have... usually it's big enough I don't wander that far

[bronze wind]

Skyrim has invisible walls

[meager panther]

I have never played skyrim

[willow crypt]

Fallout as well in places

[bronze wind]

No man's sky too

[willow crypt]

Lol

[bronze wind]

In atlas stations lmao

[meager panther]

Haven't played fallout either

[willow crypt]

Oh yeah true

[bronze wind]

Have you played mario

[meager panther]

Yeah

[bronze wind]

You can't go backwards from the start

[meager panther]

[willow crypt]

Have you guys ever dreamt of going outside the boundaries of a video game map?

Completely undiscovered territory

[bronze wind]

That YouTube channel boundary break does that sometimes

[willow crypt]

Such a cool dream

[meager panther]

I dream of going into zoids territory

[willow crypt]

Yeah that's interesting

Watch out he has a sniper rifle!!?

[meager panther]

He has huge beard that affects his aim

[prisma bobcat]

I don’t even know what other games are being talked about currently

[meager panther]

Apex legends

Anthem

Idk that's all that's popular

These days

And fork knife

[bronze wind]

Stay out of my territory

I'll snip u

Also hi chris

[prisma bobcat]

oi

Mista

[bronze wind]

U me dayd?

[willow crypt]

Tumbleweeds are my worst enemy in Metro Exodus

[meager panther]

Who is Chris?

👻

[bronze wind]

Bearman

My brother

IRL

[meager panther]

Oh noce

Noice*

Hello chris

Zoids brother

[bronze wind]

@prisma bobcat

uve been summoned

[willow crypt]

That reminds me

Everyone should play Brothers: a tale of two sons

[meager panther]

Zoid is everyone's dad here. He can't keep his stuff in his pants

[prisma bobcat]

Who has summoned me

[bronze wind]

gamer

Has said hello

[prisma bobcat]

Only an epic gamer can summon me

[bronze wind]

OMG 😨😨

[willow crypt]

Now you've done it!

[meager panther]

I am epic gamer

[willow crypt]

mooooooooom

[meager panther]

[prisma bobcat]

You must pass the epic gamer test

[bronze wind]

[brisk merlin]

epic

[meager panther]

[prisma bobcat]

Prepare for one excruciating question

[bronze wind]

[prisma bobcat]

how big pp?

[meager panther]

Bigger than other gamers

[bronze wind]

😩😩😩

[brisk merlin]

you wish

[meager panther]

Zoid has experience ask him

[bronze wind]

excuse me

I'm abstinent

[meager panther]

Lies

[prisma bobcat]

All lies

[bronze wind]

Some lies

[prisma bobcat]

Little did you all know

[meager panther]

He can't be everyone's dad

If he did that

[prisma bobcat]

Everyone is an epic gamer

If you put your mind to it :^)

[bronze wind]

wholesome

fuck you

[prisma bobcat]

Other than Dan

He’s pretty unepic

Oh sorry

[bronze wind]

[meager panther]

[prisma bobcat]

Every time I try and type Zoid it autocorrects to zoos

[willow crypt]

[bronze wind]

Zoos

[prisma bobcat]

So sorry to tell you dan but you’re just a collection of multiple zoos

[bronze wind]

Kraytoes dad

[meager panther]

You know what zoids brother should do? When zoid sleeps,shave his beard and hair on one half of his face

[willow crypt]

Do it

[prisma bobcat]

Yeah that’s a good idea

[meager panther]

Keep us updated

[bronze wind]

We live not close

[prisma bobcat]

Especially because I really do feel like dying

[bronze wind]

same tbh

[willow crypt]

Photoshop

[bronze wind]

Chris u could probably find an old unbearded photo of me in the house somewhere

[meager panther]

Here is how it might look

https://m.imgur.com/gallery/hLK6S

[brisk merlin]

ew

[willow crypt]

Look it's zoid

[prisma bobcat]

That actually does kinda look like him

[willow crypt]

He's a funny guy

[bronze wind]

my beard isn't that big

[meager panther]

It's from. The show last man on Earth

[bronze wind]

It's funny how he looks more tan on the bearded side

[full pivot]

if that becomes a trend im becoming even more gay

[willow crypt]

Haven't you heard? All men are doing it

[full pivot]

it wouldn't shock me

[bronze wind]

I'm absolutely positively certain it's a joke

[prisma bobcat]

[willow crypt]

Just drove off cliff and died

[meager panther]

It's from a tv show

That too a show about the lone survivor after a disease wipes out everyone else

So he is free to do whatever he wants

[willow crypt]

I'd find the nearest cake store and splurge

[full pivot]

ok Buu

[meager panther]

So https://www.gameinformer.com/2019/02/18/the-universe-of-the-outer-worlds

That has many details of the worlds

And location in the game

It's basically several towns

On the planets

You can fly or walk to them

There probably might be expansions

With new colonies added in future

Pretty cool

[cinder vessel]

eh

gib odd alien ruins instead

[cinder vessel]

[jade lake]

guys did you hear

[teal mason]

I did hear

I still do, actually

I am not deaf yet so it's good

[jade lake]

ok good just checkin

[cinder vessel]

body's not ready

[jade lake]

yup

regginator had to step down

im glad for him though

[cinder vessel]

retired so that he could be immortalized in Smash

[austere lance]

Is it weird that I do New Game+ in every Mass Effect game so I can get the perfect ending to carry to the next one?

[cinder vessel]

Nah, probably standard for diehard fans or whatever

I've really just never been able to get into the series despite trying it

[austere lance]

ME 1 has godawful gameplay, unfortunately stuff in 1 carries through to 3

[cinder vessel]

The protagonist being stuck in a military role kills it for me

Same issue with the scifi series that inspired it tbh. I just can't stand military stuffiness

[austere lance]

I just make myself do one perfect playthrough of ME 1 so I never have to touch it again, lol. I can replay 2 and 3 any day tho

[cinder vessel]

It's much less the gameplay and more the setup for me

[austere lance]

There's not that much military stuffiness, lol. Hell, there's of that than there is in Halo 😂

[cinder vessel]

People talk about it having a strong opening that gets you interested, and it just doesn't for me

[austere lance]

Strong opening in ME 1 LMAO

If by strong opening you mean "the first half the game is horrific and makes you wanna die" then sure, lol

[jade lake]

thats why its good

[cinder vessel]

I've played the first one a bit dude, it's frontloaded with diplomatic negotiation garbage to permit or better organize some form of response to a rogue agent, lmao

[austere lance]

No, I mean the gameplay is garbo and nothing fun happens

[jade lake]

the gameplay is shit in every ME

[cinder vessel]

Bioware's strong suit hasn't exactly been gameplay

[austere lance]

What diplomay, you spend the whole game hunting Saren and recruiting team members 🤔

[cinder vessel]

The first part of the game you're gathering evidence to try to get the higher ups to recognize Saren is a threat, lol

And then I guess you just eventually go after him

If it was literally just go after the guy it might be less tedious, lol

[austere lance]

Yes? The council's dumb af and won't do shit, which your dude learns quickly. Then you're basically just slaughtering ungodly amounts of aliens trying to stop him

[cinder vessel]

which is extra 💤

[austere lance]

I mean you slaughter them for reasons, lol. Rescuing hot blue aliens, taking down Geth bases, killing weird alien creatures turning a settlement into zombies, learning about the Protheans and Reapers....and any side stuff you do

[cinder vessel]

Yeah, yeah, suffice to say it just didn't click with me. Doesn't help that it feels almost impossible to make your character look nice and their voice acting is very...Eeh, regardless of whether playing as male/female

I don't think I've played a Bioware game yet where I've felt happy with the character creator, lol

[cinder vessel]

On a different note, looks like Halo Wars 1 & 2 are free to try for Xbox Gold folks this weekend

[austere lance]

And they're on Game Pass, which is good cuz I'll burn before I pay more than $5 for either of those xD

I bought Halo Wars when it first released, it was alright. 2 looks like 💩 tho

[bronze wind]

@jade lake ya boi Reggie is retiring

[cinder vessel]

I've read that both Halo Wars games are good for being console RTS games, which aren't all that common

[austere lance]

The first one played really well and I'd imagine the second does too, the problem is they cease to be fun after you play through them once

Speaking of console RTS games, Battle for Middle Earth II was fuckin fantastic on Xbox 360

[cinder vessel]

I mean that's kind of RTS games without a skirmish mode or multiplayer in a nutshell

Although it does tend to be more pronounced since RTS games never really seemed to figure out some secondary objectives or whatever to make replay more enjoyable, or at least not that I've ever really noticed

[austere lance]

Oh they have both, problem being (for HW 1) that you can literally beat anyone you play against in 10 minutes if you know how to build your base right and there's nothing they can do about it

[cinder vessel]

So the Starcraft problem i guess, lol

[jade lake]

@bronze wind i heard

bit of a bummer

but I’m glad to see him do what he wants

[bronze wind]

Yeet

[austere lance]

@cinder vessel Top players could magically get ODST's in less than 10 minutes and spam your base before you could even remotely have any good units up........unless you picked the same leader and did it to them, in which case it was an unbreakable stalemate

[cinder vessel]

speaking of frustrating multiplayer, i don't know why i keep trying Apex Legends, lol
i think i just really like sliding? i should probably play Mirror's Edge instead

ugh, EA...Don't try to sell me on your sub thing when I'm just trying to price your games 🙄

[austere lance]

Some of the dudes that made Monkey Island made a new game that's free on the Epic Store 🤔

God I love Thane

[jade lake]

oh god oh fuck

[cinder vessel]

whytho

[austere lance]

Because he's badass

[cinder vessel]

i should really try to make my way through those games so i can form a more developed opinion

with each bioware game i've hit similar issues of rapid disinterest tho, so

[austere lance]

There's some good af characters in the Mass Effect games

Thane, Mordin, Garrus, Tali, Legion, Samara, Wrex, Grunt.......good times 😢

[ripe frost]

I jusrt found out that this is a thing
https://www.etsy.com/listing/545142562/pokemon-my-ass-rom-hack-fan-game-custom?gpla=1&gao=1&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_us_e-electronics_and_accessories-video_games&utm_custom1=76801bd9-eba1-468e-8f03-3e780dfa1a46&utm_content=go_304502315_22746057395_78727285955_aud-537409439212:pla-106552543235_c__545142562&gclid=Cj0KCQiAtbnjBRDBARIsAO3zDl8EflTK_M0yUekcjQR2qBFXA6iioRrsSbFTxylJsrgYrhe_g3fD1lkaAlqjEALw_wcB

[austere lance]

"Had to be me, somebody else might have gotten it wrong"
😭

[jade lake]

huh

those are children btw

also what the hell is that link

[austere lance]

''Have killed many, Shepard. Many methodes. Gunfire, knives, drugs, tech attacks, once with farming equipment, but not with medicine.''

[cinder vessel]

okay

[ripe frost]

I didn't say I was thrilled to find it

I was just kinda amazed

Like "wow. so thats real" Just like when I found out about Tsutomu Miyazaki the other day

[fluid hare]

Pirates of Penzance, anyone?

[jade lake]

i never know whats being talked about here

im seeing about 3 different convos

[fluid hare]

It’s just the way it is.

[cinder vessel]

what's that? Pirates of Penzance, I mean

lol not gonna lie Exo i wasn't reading the names earlier and so just thought S0ul posted the random pokémon thing

[jade lake]

lmao

[cinder vessel]

wow i can type the accented e but not typical words, great me

[jade lake]

gmr have you heard of an indie game called anodyne

[cinder vessel]

yes

anodyne 2 looks v. up my alley, think i posted about it here once before

[jade lake]

ive been playing through it and its a very pleasant game

first game that is lol*

[cinder vessel]

man, i just saw a snippet of one of the early Anthem cutscenes and it bums me out that the rest of the campaign's missions are as rote as they are. That early (intro?) cutscene would probably draw you in if you saw & read nothing else about the game

[jade lake]

it looks more like a tech demo for their engine

than anything else

[cinder vessel]

which is silly because it's not only not the first game they've made with it (it's still Frostbite, I believe), but also not the only game made with it

[jade lake]

they did an oopsie

[cinder vessel]

if nothin' else i'm hoping they're given the time & resources to build it up from here, because it's their first new IP in awhile

[jade lake]

i just was wishing it was great from the beginning

kinda tired of games having to be built on to be better

[cinder vessel]

yeah, i know that vibe

it's what makes me enjoy some of the smaller games from big devs more, they're not trying to be everything and feel stronger as a result, at least sometimes

[agile tinsel]

Its following the now seemingly traditional path of looter shooters in that it will be rough for a year or two then be pretty good

or at least mostly good

[cinder vessel]

For me I'd just need to see improved mission variety and the next story arc being better and I might be inclined to pick it up. That's with the thinking that they'll smooth out technical issues tho

Also know that there's a general feeling that they need to improve a lot of the other aspects of the gameplay, which for others may be true, but seeing "better grind" or whatever won't do anything for me, lol

[austere lance]

Why a year or two, they already have a 90 day roadmap dropping next week 🤔

[cinder vessel]

Sooo you think they'll have technical issues sufficiently sorted to get content drops within the first three months? Think that's optimistic planning on their end if so

[austere lance]

I mean, 95% of the technical issues I've seen or heard of got fixed with the day one patch

[jade lake]

soul you seem naive to think that its gonna be fixed in 3 months let alone a day one patch

it should be fixed right now

but god knows it wont be lmao

[cinder vessel]

feel sorry for folks that paid to get in a bit earlier tbh

well, if they haven't enjoyed it that is, if they have then nothin' to feel sorry for them over

[jade lake]

yeah tru

more power to those enjoying it

[austere lance]

New content drops in March, lol

[brittle creek]

i am ready for pain

[light cairn]

[brittle creek]

someone gave it to me

[cinder vessel]

lol, make it sound like a sickness

[light cairn]

radical 😎

[winter yew]

I feel like it’s always and always will be a good decision to wait “games as a service” titles out

[brittle creek]

this is very true

but hey

i got it freeeeeee

so

[winter yew]

Oh I didn’t mean to say this as a response to you, it’s great you got it free

[teal mason]

waiting it out is a good idea cos by the time you've waited enough you probably won't want to play it anymore anyway

[brittle creek]

^

i didn't want to play it and now i do cause i didn't pay for it

[winter yew]

well think about how you’d feel after playing a shallower game for a year until it gets fixed. It’s not as fresh as going in the first time and in the case of games like No Man’s Sky or Destiny, your player base will falter and many players don’t actually return because of other games by the time these updates roll in. That’s why getting it right the first time is so important...

Assuming you meant to say isn’t?

[brittle creek]

considering i'm working on a game myself

yeah getting it right the first time is crucial

[winter yew]

I couldn’t tell if you did a typo or not. Unless you meant you like to wait video games out and forgetting about them? Getting confused with a 1:57 AM mind

[brittle creek]

ayy east coast gang

[full pivot]

Or you can just get involved with things like Subnautica, where you wait through an alpha to see if anything is happening and then jump on a game mid development haha

[brittle creek]

i'm working on an NMS half-fangame

basically i'm trying to make a game with a similar tone and storytelling pattern

[winter yew]

At least I have a logical reason to be up at this hour unlike my other nights... I mean, ahem, nights of which I go to sleep like a normal person. My neighborhood got robbed twice

[brittle creek]

but it's its own original game

i guess you could say it's "inspired by"

[winter yew]

Actually sounds intriguing. I’m guessing it’s similar because of an exploration aspect?

[meager panther]

Wait what neighborhood are you @winter yew

[brittle creek]

also oof

[winter yew]

Some place in littletowned Georgia

of the US

[brittle creek]

it's actually more of a platformer, i'm just basing a lot of the narrative stuff off of NMS lore

and storytelling

i've been posting screenshots of it's development in #no-mans-art

[winter yew]

OH, the lower poly work?

[brittle creek]

nah, it's sprite based

it's technically Saturday somewhere, and i can't wait any longer to show you this way too satisfying hazard placement #screenshotsaturday #indiedev https://t.co/KXPBDH6N8r

Twitter

a lot of this is placeholder stuff

[meager panther]

Well i hope the thief doesn't steal socks

Coz someone needs to eat socks

[brittle creek]

sock thief's are the worst

[winter yew]

No but I seriously think my neighbors are to blame too for enticing these criminals

[brittle creek]

developments kinda slow cause im bad at level design

[winter yew]

They had three guns in an unlocked car

Or one of them did

[brittle creek]

0-0

excuse me what

[meager panther]

You get a big dog

That's what I will do

[brittle creek]

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

[winter yew]

Yeah they’ve just been coercing unlocked vehicles. No breaking or entering at all

I guess nobody thought we’d have any issues

[meager panther]

Great Danes are big

Get one

[winter yew]

I’ll bring in Clifford

[meager panther]

Ah Clifford

[winter yew]

He’s always got my back. We’ve been buds since I was two

I had to pry myself from my window a few times past few nights. I just keep getting paranoid, thinking I’m seeing things when I’m not

Though, to be fair, one night I did see more than a few vehicles with one a bit suspicious if my eyes weren’t playing tricks

[meager panther]

So star dew valley is coming to android

Nice

[winter yew]

about time

been wondering

[cinder vessel]

https://www.thurrott.com/xbox/200039/microsoft-to-talk-next-gen-consoles-at-e3-2019#
Halo Infinite to be a launch title; will have RPG elements and allow players to make decisions that impact the story ugghh

RPG elements getting into every other game genre make me sad

Decisions to affect story: cool.
Decisions to adjust stats or whatever: eeehhh

[plucky mesa]

Fugl

[echo hill]

Halo RPG... 🤔

Honestly...

I dont hate that idea

think it might be pretty cool if dont correctly

[cinder vessel]

I only like the narrative choices part of RPGs and next to nothin' else, lol

Fugl still looks really charming to me 😃

Huh, so it seems Bethesda's sticking to Fallout 76, at least for now:
https://fallout.bethesda.net/en/article/7Lw6jVvhjzSNzuUMmKZgwn/fallout-76-inside-the-vault-our-roadmaps

[willow crypt]

I currently have no interest in this game, but I have a feeling it'll be amazing in the fall

Interested to see what a Fallout raid is like

[cinder vessel]

It's kind of weird to me to look at this roadmap having checked out extensive coverage of the fundamental issues at play with the game

[willow crypt]

Yep

I'm glad they're sticking with it, even amidst all the controversy

[frank stratus]

Elder scrolls online was pretty bad at launch too

[cinder vessel]

Not near the same state tho, at least from what I recall seeing at the time

[crisp sparrow]

yay I finally killed it in proper survival for the first time, feels great man

[echo hill]

ah yess

i remember that feeling

feelsgoodman

[crisp sparrow]

I prepped enough, top tier armor and potions

no slow falling potions tho

Damn what beautiful end music

The story too

[cinder vessel]

wat?

[austere lance]

Is it bad that I kinda want to get Destiny 2 Forsaken with all previous expansions (I haven't played since a month after the game released) instead of Anthem now

I'm like 5 hours into my trial for Anthem and it's definitely not looking good so far. Which is sad because I've been defending it for months. I didn't know how bad the loot pool and missions were in the full game. The demo was buggy af but they put a bunch of good guns and gear in its loot pool so you didn't get bored, the full game has level-gated shit

5 hours and I've quite literally only seen repeats of 10 weapons and even less gear for my two Javs. Not to mention the fuckin Temples part of the story that they should have just cut

[cinder vessel]

play...warframe...? 🤔

[willow crypt]

Haven't played D2 for a long time but it's definitely worth it

Surprised to hear that from yoi

You

[austere lance]

Warframe 🤢 🤢 🤢 🤢 🤢 🤢 🤢 🤢 🤢 🤢 🤢 🤢 🤢 🤢

[bronze wind]

you should see a doctor

you seem ill

[echo hill]

Soul, D2 is hella fun

id recommend it

[willow crypt]

Wasn't at launch but now is

[echo hill]

^^

agreed

[willow crypt]

I kinda hope Destiny 3 becomes a culmination of all the planets and locations of both 1 and 2

Or they stop and continue updating 2

[austere lance]

I really really wanted Anthem to be good but these design choices and loot table are horrendous, which I thought wasn't gonna be a thing in the full game because how could a "larger" loot table be worse?

They failed to mention that loot is HEAVILY level-gated, I didn't see an Uncommon til I was at least lvl 6. And they also failed to mention that there's like 10 guns in the game and all the "good loot" is just higher tier versions of those guns

[echo hill]

Lame

[willow crypt]

All the guns I've seen look the same

[cinder vessel]

i mean if i have to choose a loot'em up game i'd rather go free than paid but that's just me

especially when all the paid ones still carry over a free to play sort of marketplace

[winter yew]

you guys know the warhammer series

[willow crypt]

I've only played space Marines

[winter yew]

did you like it

[willow crypt]

I did

[winter yew]

want a free hame

[willow crypt]

Fun campaign

[winter yew]

game

[willow crypt]

Nah someone else will though ha

[winter yew]

I'll check the warhammer server

[agile tinsel]

I'm assuming we'll get a Destiny 3 when they leave Activision and that will likely be last one, but I'd say we'll get mostly new planets

[bronze wind]

They already split from Activision

[echo hill]

I'm pretty sure theyre on like a 15 year contract for destiny games or something

destiny won't be going anywhere soon

[winter yew]

jesus christ

it's so hard to give away a free hame

game*

[bronze wind]

ham

[winter yew]

nobody is taking it

even in the warhammer server

[agile tinsel]

Well they've got to finish I think this year for the contract

[echo hill]

lol

[full pivot]

I have over 900 games I don’t need more haha

[bronze wind]

I already have the game from a bundle in the past

[winter yew]

vermintide 2?

[cinder vessel]

wouldn't people in a warhammer server be more likely to already have it, lol

[echo hill]

Destiny will consist of a series of four MMO-style "sci-fantasy action shooter" titles, released every other year beginning in Fall 2013.

https://destiny.fandom.com/wiki/Bungie-Activision_Contract0

[winter yew]

well I thought someone in the server could be a big fan but not have vermintide since it's at least fairly new

I guess I'll give it to my streamer friend to use for a giveaway

[echo hill]

Looks like you're right. Bungie split from activision last month and will be self-publishing from now on

[willow crypt]

I have a feeling I'll like the next game they make more

[austere lance]

I'm fucking dead, Bioware just released their roadmap and it's horrific 😂😂😂😂😂

[cinder vessel]

I was pretty sure it had been out...?

[winter yew]

quite a change of pace from you since before release until now

[cinder vessel]

even just a few hours ago, lol

[willow crypt]

How long will Anthem last I wonder

[echo hill]

i give it a month

2 at most

[austere lance]

@winter yew Now I've seen the full game and "full" loot table, I'm pissed

[cinder vessel]

Weird to think they were also sort of planning out Dragon Age alongside all this, if I'm not mistaken

[austere lance]

And they released their fancy new roadmap that's laughably bad

[winter yew]

welcome to the gaming industy as of 2019. broken games get more sales than ones that come out correctly

and thus the cycle repeats

[echo hill]

it's all about marketing these days

[winter yew]

over... and over..

[echo hill]

and it works too well

[drowsy vine]

Games are jsut another commodity like movies

[winter yew]

destiny 1 was lackluster. dlc fixed it for an extra thirty dollars. people who played the game early got the worst deal of anyone

destiny 2 did the exact same thing and people still fell for it

[echo hill]

Though i think Apex legends proved a point that no marketing can sometimes be better than lots of marketing

[winter yew]

it was marketed as the devs understanding what messed them up last time iirc

but it happened again

[willow crypt]

I wish I had waited. For both games

Thought D2 would learn from it's mistakes

[austere lance]

I'm definitely waiting on Anthem now, holy shit

[winter yew]

respawn entertainment would probably be making titanfall 3 right now if they hadn't had horrible sales for titanfall 2

which SUCKS

titanfall 2 was amazing

[echo hill]

RIGHT??

[willow crypt]

Yes it was

[cinder vessel]

i'm...so confused by Anthem's roadmap...
https://www.ea.com/games/anthem/acts

They...Have time-limited freeplay events, I guess?

And they have a couple repeating within the first couple months...?

[echo hill]

i think titanfall 2 failed so bad only because it release right at the same time as a COD game and a Battlefield game

it just was poor timing

[willow crypt]

Same with battleborne

[winter yew]

FO76, Anthem, Destiny. Who's next?

Also, we can't forget No Man's Sky, but at least that went somewhere

[full pivot]

I mean obviously marketing works cuz I was all into ace combat 7 but all I heard about for weeks in this channel was Apex and Anthem; Anthem sounds like it’s had a rocky release

Not saying I told you so

[echo hill]

lmao

[willow crypt]

Curious to see how it sells

[full pivot]

The funnest part to me atm is people appealing to me about it haha

[willow crypt]

Anyone watch open world games on YouTube?

He's got a pretty positive outlook on Anthem

[austere lance]

All Anthem gets til April is "legendary missions", time-limited freeplay events, and new items. Then it gets ONE new stronghold. Then it's back to 😴 til the cataclysm in May 😂

[willow crypt]

Probably devoting a smaller portion of their team to work on the next big thing

[winter yew]

FO76 put out a roadmap recently, by the way

seems like roadmaps for broken games are the things these days

"we're sorry we messed up your game at launch so to make you feel like you're actually gonna get a purpose for the sixty dollars you spent on us, here's a roadmap"

[full pivot]

Well it was worth being cautious so if you don’t like it you did buy into it haha

[willow crypt]

I think 76s roadmap will change the game drastically

[echo hill]

it's the devs attempting to swoon the players back into the game

[winter yew]

no doubt, zug

it's just too bad they did no QA testing at all

even for patches AFTER the game's release

[austere lance]

Anthem’s dead in a month, lol. It has worse reviews than FO 76 and their sad attempt at a roadmap just blew any chance it had

[willow crypt]

Yuh

[full pivot]

I got attacked multiple times for saying “be careful” about the game

Ok I’m satisfied of lecturing

[cinder vessel]

lol

[winter yew]

here's something

[willow crypt]

What wants to bet they had to scrap the whole thing and redo everything in 16 months

[winter yew]

instead of using the money you were giving to bioware, give it to God of War. you will not be disappointed

[full pivot]

Power came back

[cinder vessel]

I was of the same opinion for what it's worth Aethena

Anthem just screamed wait & see to me

Nah, give it to Tetris Effect instead of God of War

[willow crypt]

Lol

[winter yew]

let's compromise: give it to ANYTHING ELSE other than bioware right now

[cinder vessel]

well, that and Bethesda

[willow crypt]

No way this game took 6 yearz

No way

[echo hill]

GOW is so good 😩

[cinder vessel]

It was like 5 & half years of preproduction and half a year of ohfuckwegottaship Zug

[winter yew]

when dragon age releases, the talk of the town will be how they "had to pull teams off of anthem to work on dragon age," so we think their last mediocre game will not repeat, though it will

[willow crypt]

Sad

[winter yew]

just like mass effect

andromeda

[cinder vessel]

at least andromeda had environment variety

that was something i kept waiting to see from anthem and all the demos & preview stuff made it clear that it...just wasn't there

[willow crypt]

Still enjoying Andromeda a sound soul?

[jade lake]

😎

[winter yew]

at least anthem works unlike some of the other games as a service titles. I just think it has so many issues that'll be gone in a year that it's not worth buying right now

[austere lance]

I'd rather spend a quarter of the price on getting Destiny 2 Forsaken, it's $20 rn and has all previous DLC's. Say what you will about the story but I've spent many an hour shooting things in Destiny. Hell, I had at least 100 hours in vanilla D2 before I got bored. I've spent 5 in Anthem and want to off myself whenever I load it up

[winter yew]

give it some time and the little baby will be something. I'm just so tired of "foundations" of what's next that I finally didn't buy into it this time

[jade lake]

i thought you liked anthem soul

[cinder vessel]

triple A Early Access is so good tho /s

[austere lance]

@winter yew It doesn't work, especially on PC. Hell, people are getting the ol 95% again

[winter yew]

lol wait seriously

[cinder vessel]

o h

[winter yew]

lol, wait, how could I forget, use half of the amount of funds you're gonna use on anthem for the dreams early access next month 👉 😎 👉

[cinder vessel]

at least they were upfront about it, lmao

[austere lance]

I can't even use the full-auto sniper because it glitches and takes 5 seconds to draw it, and half the time when I reload I randomly shoot in the middle of it

And I randomly reload when I'm shooting. Or fall when I'm hovering

Trust me, it doesn't work

[echo hill]

oofers

you should play apex

10/10

[austere lance]

And I'm on Xbox, which has the least amount of glitches. PC players are on fire rn

Apex is 1800x more fun

[echo hill]

6900x

[willow crypt]

Thats a big number

[austere lance]

There's also less than 20 guns in Anthem, the only upgrade you get is finding higher tier versions of the ones you already own.......which look exactly the same

[jade lake]

BioWare did an oopsie

[austere lance]

Destiny 2 vanilla had better loot, which is fuckin sad

[willow crypt]

Wonder how the lore compares

Destiny has a ton of lore

[drowsy vine]

Apex is build on the Titanfall universe

but it sounds like they kind of did away with all that

Wasn't all that deep to begin with

Sadly, had a lot of potential

[willow crypt]

Lore for Anthem

[drowsy vine]

Ah

[willow crypt]

But yeah, neat that it's based in the same world as titanfall

[austere lance]

Worse

[drowsy vine]

Dudes at the office were talking about Apex all week, finally checked it out cause of yall, might give it a try

Looks like its got a lot of the same mechanics as TF2

[echo hill]

its hella fun

[drowsy vine]

Do you get all the characters at the start, or do you have to unlock them along the way?

[willow crypt]

Feels like titanfall

[drowsy vine]

❤

Lovely

[austere lance]

Bioware decided "Hey, we're popular because we made a singleplayer trilogy with decent gameplay and a great story. Why not make an entirely new multiplayer-only IP focused around shooting things with a mediocre story? BEST PLAN EVER!"

[willow crypt]

Good plan sounds legit

[drowsy vine]

To be fair, Mass Effect was a really mixed bag

[willow crypt]

Apollosiris, I think 6 characters are available right away then there Are currently 2 you can unlock

[drowsy vine]

ME3 was a bit of a let down

Ah ok

Also, the guns aren't prescribed per character right? You pick them up in drops?

[willow crypt]

Correcto

[echo hill]

Si señor

[cinder vessel]

apex still bums me out a bit

competitive games just aren't for me, at least not when people are treating it like a pro-level sport or win or all else

[jade lake]

imagine playing a battle royale game

[cinder vessel]

i'd ditch my squads in apex if it didn't seem like such a dick move

[echo hill]

i'd ditch my squad if it didnt mean certain death

[cinder vessel]

there's that too

[echo hill]

lol

[cinder vessel]

because eventually you're gonna end up end of match against a squad of fuckers that either got lucky or are good pals and wreck shit

[blazing torrent]

thats why you find a group u like to play with

[cinder vessel]

no thanks

[echo hill]

Ry is good player ^^

can confirm

[blazing torrent]

im ok

i have bad aim

uhhh what level u at now?

[echo hill]

same. try lowering your dpi

40

you?

[blazing torrent]

45 now

[echo hill]

noice

[austere lance]

I just play Apex to survive as long as possible, if I win it's cool but I mostly love the gameplay tbh

[cinder vessel]

multiplayer games always give me the same ish:
-people i wanna play with can't all agree on it
-we can't afford it all at the same time & if it has progression means last player in is sorta fucked

Apex fits the first atm

Monster Hunter World fits the last

[drowsy vine]

^

[cinder vessel]

I picked Monster Hunter WOrld up much later & know my friends are probably like super decked out & it wouldn't be fun to play with them, or for them to replay early junk

[drowsy vine]

I think NMS really has taught me the zen of games in general. like, you'll maybe win a match of Apex, but you're never going to like "beat" the game

so just have fun along the way at your own pace

[cinder vessel]

i can't when squadmates are being squadmates

[drowsy vine]

True

I wanna do MHW but probably same deal

[austere lance]

I find smart squads usually, it's weird

[cinder vessel]

I'm often split between wanting to help them or feeling like a drag if not both

[austere lance]

Oh hell no, I don't touch MH games. Too much grind

[cinder vessel]

At this point I'm pretty damn sure the other folks I get in squads with just have where the hell loot is semi-memorized, lmao

You liked Destiny 1 i don't want to hear it, lol

[rigid haven]

Leon if you're on PS4 I can help

I am the best at being beginner

[cinder vessel]

which game? 🤔

[rigid haven]

MHW

[blazing torrent]

apex 🍭

[rigid haven]

I suck so much at it but I like

I'm at a point where monsters don't really do much damage to me, but I can go from half health to dead in one hit occasionally

[austere lance]

Destiny didn't feel like grinding unless you were trying to get raid-specific gear, and the raids were fun enough that getting the gear was just a bonus. MH involves fighting large damage-sponges over and over and over with weird melee weapons 😂

[rigid haven]

I'm not a fan of destiny, though I only played the first, base game

MHW has it beat in the DLC department, adding content that's free and pretty neat

[cinder vessel]

Weird melee weapons with some cool af aspects > pewpewguns

Plus bowguns are the shit

Esp. when mixed with traps

[rigid haven]

I use the Insect Glaive

Buff yourself up and knock them down

I also recently got used to the slinger, and I've taken out a few monsters with lucky shots, so that's good

[austere lance]

One more diss on Anthem then I'm done for the day, lol:
The game is so horrifically boring that I've only played 5 hours of it in 4 days. Hell, I just beat Mass Effect 2 (a 9 year old game) and instantly started up NG+ before even thinking about starting up Anthem 😂

[rigid haven]

I've heard mixed things about Anthem

I'm guessing it's much more fun as a squad than it is alone

I wonder if they made strongholds available solo

[austere lance]

As a previously diehard fan of it that has been defending it for months, the game is absolute shit and they just signed their death warrant with their shitty new roadmap @rigid haven

[rigid haven]

drip-feed that story like it's GTA Online

[cinder vessel]

S0ul on those wild swings

The way ya talked the past week I thought you'd been playing more of Anthem

[jade lake]

[jade lake]

in my opinion:

but my opinions are shit also

so

[bronze wind]

have u played it

[winter yew]

remember how I said nobody wanted warhammer

well I gave it to a streamer and even they didn't want to give it away in a giveaway

does ANYONE want a free game???

[bronze wind]

peter griffin

[rigid haven]

Warhammer?

Like, the guys in big suits

[bronze wind]

vermintide 2

it's kinda like left for dead

[rigid haven]

i'm getting marmalade all over my keyboar dholy shit

[bronze wind]

but newer and more game modes

[echo hill]

ohno

[jade lake]

yes @bronze wind

[winter yew]

if anyone wants vermintide 2 let me kno

[bronze wind]

fair enuff

[jade lake]

😎

[echo hill]

😎

[rigid haven]

I like free games but I've also never played Warhammer so no thanks

Is warhammer where they have big armour?

I've played somethign where they had big armour

[winter yew]

not that one. this is more early century stuff

same series though

...weirdly enough...

[bronze wind]

[rigid haven]

I think the main reason most people decline it is because "vermintide 2"

[echo hill]

Expand try out r/giftofgames

[winter yew]

good idea

[echo hill]

https://www.reddit.com/r/GiftofGames/

[winter yew]

I will later. right now I'm writing waking titan fan fiction to practice writing

and no, not that type of fan fiction. not now anyway...

😩

[echo hill]

er, lemme know when you do start that kind of fan fic...

for uhh

research

[jade lake]

fan fiction in general is....

[rigid haven]

Emily came closer.
"You know... I really do like humans..."

[jade lake]

ehh

[winter yew]

good practice

[jade lake]

...sure

[winter yew]

that's basically all it is to me. also it's fun to link plot threads

oh yeah, here's a question

is dauntless any good

[rigid haven]

I've had it for a bit but haven't tried

I imagine it's like Monster Hunter but free

[winter yew]

so far it's something about 2311T waking up

but that's all I've got and I dunno if I'm gonna continue

[cinder vessel]

Hmm:
https://www.siliconera.com/2019/02/22/left-alive-sneaks-out-a-new-gameplay-trailer-gets-early-impressions-from-japan/

Basically, it's: a tough survival/stealth game?

[jade lake]

the shinkawa art makes me nut

[winter yew]

Ohhhh Left Alive

I forgot that game was coming.

[cinder vessel]

I keep it half in mind

Largely because of the team involved

It seems like it may be somewhere between a decent game and a bad game and I still can't figure out which yet

Btw here's the video linked in the article:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieqa3Dk7tWk

And uhhh, hrm. I really dig the score, or what it's going for, but having it block out the mech sounds is an...odd choice

OH shit, this comes out in a couple of weeks 😮

[austere lance]

Is it bad that I could care less about any new games anymore, lol. Besides Metro Exodus

Anthem and Exodus are the only new games I wanted, smh

Now one is dead

I guess I'm excited for Cyberpunk

[jade lake]

just a day ago you were head over heels for anthem

[austere lance]

It's dead to me

[jade lake]

only games im looking forward to is probs outer worlds and whatever nintendos got planned

its too bad about anthem

but just goes to show how far bioware has fallen

[cinder vessel]

i'm looking forward to picking up KH3 eventually, Dragon Quest Builders 2 has me pretty excited, Left Alive has me curious, I should look into where X4 is at in terms of jank, Astroneer seems like it's alright & just came out, and uh...Well, several Switch titles have me interested but without a Switch it's kinda pointless to tease myself too much with them

Several games I'm interested in are still in the Distant Release phase tho

[rigid haven]

Kh3 is so cool but the story is meh-ish

[jade lake]

animal crossing 😳

no gameplay tho

[cinder vessel]

Like Sable has me really interested but that may not come out until near the end of this year, or more likely, 2020

[rigid haven]

AC games all play the same anyway

[jade lake]

eh

its been 6 years since the last one

they have to do something different

[cinder vessel]

anyone hype for days gone tho /s

[jade lake]

no

[cinder vessel]

but customizable motorcycle!

[jade lake]

survival zombies BRO!!

[cinder vessel]

it is such a bro game

[jade lake]

bcs its 2008 😎

[cinder vessel]

feels dickish to rag on it too much, but it's just...i mean, it's there, it's a thing

[jade lake]

why does it feel dickish

its a multimillion dollar AAA game

[cinder vessel]

Because some folks put years of time into it

[jade lake]

people put time into 76

i dont feel bad shitting on it

ok poor example, but you know what i mean

lol i was going to say, at least Days Gone isn't really overselling itself

It's a postapocalyptic biker journey thing

You either know you're down for that or not, i guess

[jade lake]

it looks too much like a naughty dog game

and thats not really a good thing

[raven frost]

Astroneer is nice but needs some work

[fluid hare]

Why is it not a good thing @jade lake?

[jade lake]

it feels more like they're copying their style and it comes off as cheap rather than good

[fluid hare]

Oh.

[cinder vessel]

boi 👀

[austere lance]

90% of PS exclusives don't have my interest because they're interactive movies that I guarantee you I'd play once and never touch again, lol

[jade lake]

yeah p much

[austere lance]

The only PS exclusives that I'm slightly interested in are God of Boi and Spider-Man

[jade lake]

uncharted 2 and last of us were the best ps exclusives

and god of man

imo*

[cinder vessel]

i disagree but glad you enjoy them

[willow crypt]

Cobra tv thinks something's going to be announced really soon

[rigid haven]

In relation to what?

[willow crypt]

NMS

[rigid haven]

Ohh

[cinder vessel]

well sure

[rigid haven]

I think they're done with major NMS stuff, personally

[cinder vessel]

3 months is about right

That's not dissimilar from their past patterns of development

[austere lance]

I played it yesterday for the first time since a couple weeks after Next, unfortunately I got bored within 5 minutes and quit

[cinder vessel]

lol

I could say that about a ton of games tbh

[austere lance]

Same 😢

Most of my games, tbh

Especially DOOM 2016 😴

[cinder vessel]

But that's why I give it longer than 5 minutes because it turns out it takes longer than 5 minutes for a game or basically any other form of media worth engaging with to get going

Probably the only things that get right into it within 5 minutes are shitty commercials, lol

[austere lance]

They're all games I've played before, lol. I don't have anything new new

Newest game I have is Apex xD

I keep telling myself I'll do a second playthrough of DOOM 2016 but then I stare at its install icon and go "meh"

Had to force myself through one playthrough

Hell, I'd rather play the old DOOM games

[cinder vessel]

Eh

Best part of Doom 2016 to me was working with SnapMap, but that's limited and seemingly bound to their network so is in an awkward position

[austere lance]

Wait, I forgot I was excited for Rage 2

[cinder vessel]

Lol

[austere lance]

There, that's one game I care about between now and Cyberpunk 😂

[cinder vessel]

I should look into some more upcoming indie titles

Although the smaller games from the larger publishers have me pretty interested atm, like Left Alive & Dragon Quest Builders 2

Bums me out that two of my preferred indie devs have titles in Early Access

[austere lance]

I'm one of the few that loved Rage, so Rage 2 existing (and being a massive open-world mix of Mad Max and DOOM with more vehicles, guns, and abilities) is 😍 to me

[cinder vessel]

I'll be more excited when I know it doesn't have similar issues to Mad Max & if it's varied enough in its activities

[austere lance]

I got a giggle when they said there's no snipers because they would completely ruin the feel of the game

[fallen notch]

The original had them...?

[austere lance]

It had one

[rigid haven]

Close-range sniper is like a shotgun but good

[fallen notch]

Oh, you mean weapons for the player, rather than enemies?

[austere lance]

Rage 2 doesn't have a sniper because a sniper wouldn't really match the game's focus on close destruction

It also has a gun that's obviously made for YouTube videos, lol. Gravity Darts shoot something then launch them wherever you want

You can also do stupid shit like shoot someone, snap your fingers, then have the bullets combust and light the poor bastard on fire 😂

[cinder vessel]

gravity darts sound like just cause's attachable jet things

[austere lance]

It's made by Avalanche, lol

So I think they can do that 😄

[jade lake]

i think bioware is done

[light cairn]

i think you're done

😎

[brisk merlin]

cool beans

[jade lake]

i peaked

i peaked when i was born

[brisk merlin]

and dropperd

[jade lake]

straight downhill from there

[austere lance]

Jedi Academy's lightsaber combat is hella fun, lol

I just sliced a poor stormtrooper's leg off

[cinder vessel]

Mega Man X/Zero z-saber is ace

[willow crypt]

that would be sad.

if Bioware was done
