ah

austere lance
light cairn
#

you're 534 years too early bucko

austere lance
#

Only goes to 2100

light cairn
#

time to make a time capsule

winter yew
#

I should be born by 2553

#

I'll remind you

cinder vessel
#

so, uh, holy shit does Left Alive seem to be taking a fuckton of cues from Metal Gear Solid

jade lake
#

the shinkawa art was a red flag from the beginning

cinder vessel
#

Sure, but I wouldn't have expected the gameplay and some of the music to do so as well

#

Skimming over some talk of it, it sounds like it's probably going to see mixed reviews, but that it may be an okay game if you're down for rolling with its quirks & like tough stealth games

willow crypt
#

You know what is dumb in my opinion? Playing an early access game like Subnautica Below Zero. I mean yeah, it's good for content creators, but having to play it over and over after it's been updated with new creatures and content takes away that surprise. The reason I loved Subnautica was because I really had no idea what I would experience.

#

I have a feeling a lot of people will have a lackluster launch experience because of it.

full pivot
#

Subnautica was the same way though 🤔

willow crypt
#

Yeah, just better to skip all of it and play at launch

full pivot
#

I mean you can do that its called free will

#

I dont see how its an actual criticism haha

willow crypt
#

I'm just talkin about the element of surprise

#

It's like wanting to see a movie in theaters before it comes out and you watch a ton of clips of it on YouTube, then you go see the movie and you know pretty much everything that's going to happen.

bronze wind
#

A lot of people do that for games already, even if they aren't early access

#

Some don't mind being spoiled

cinder vessel
#

I don't care so much about being spoiled, but knowing more or less how to go through a game makes it less interesting, that's for sure

#

My favs are games that allow enough flexibility to where I get sick of watching others play and decide to pick it up so I can do my own thing, lol

austere lance
#

Remembers MGS V

bronze wind
#

Yeah I mean watching a linear game without much flexibility isn't something I do often, but there are definitely people that still do it

cinder vessel
#

Yeah, can't say I get that unless I'm trying to put myself off from a purchase, lol

austere lance
#

I just don't watch games on YouTube, lol

cinder vessel
#

Or if the game is older/obscure and there's like zero chance I can find it

bronze wind
#

Yeah that's when I typically do it

#

Like if it's something I probably won't play

full pivot
#

Ive never had an issue avoiding spoilers if I want to

bronze wind
#

For sure

#

It's a choice in the end

jade lake
#

facts

bronze wind
#

zogg

cinder vessel
#

yeah, somehow i mostly just seem to live under a rock for spoilers stuff

#

Any Civ players happen to be here?

willow crypt
#

Sometimes you see a real nasty spoiler on social media

#

From random people

#

Can't avoid that, unless you avoid social media

full pivot
austere lance
#

Damn, nice!

#

@daring spear

#

Check out dice

daring spear
#

Ooo

#

I like

teal mason
#

I saw some stone dices on gametee and they're like 50 quid

#

I kinda want em just because they're nice dice but I don't even do anything with em

austere lance
#

Spirit has waaaaaaay too many dice

daring spear
#

There's one particular one I want
Its metal, someone hand-makes them
20 sided one, the 1 just says "fuck"

#

I only have like. 9 sets I think?

teal mason
#

I love a fuck dice

#

😩

austere lance
#

😏

full pivot
#

appropriate for how everyone is rolling lately in our campaign

#

apparently after I left early on Friday my character almost died

#

had to roll 10 to jump 10 ft and dude running it for me rolled a 1

#

so i almost drowned in an evil river

austere lance
#

Gotta roll to flap your arms and fly 😄

daring spear
#

Ten full sets, three random, and a set o ten d10s

full pivot
#

ooohh! i also have the purple ones

#

and the black and gold

#

oh and the jade

#

i got some extras for my coworkers who are always borrowing from the DM

daring spear
#

The ones pretty much in the middle, next to the metallic blue ones, are actually a bunch of colors but the pic didn't get that

full pivot
#

yeah i dont have ones like that

#

i was referring to the top purple

daring spear
#

I figured, I just was a little sad that the first image refused to capture their beauty 🙃

full pivot
#

gotta up the background lighting c;

#

flash is terrible at distance

#

sorry "ambient" lighting

daring spear
#

True... My room has the worst lighting in the house so that definitely isn't helping

full pivot
#

get one of those swing arm lamps, directed lighting

daring spear
#

That's a good idea

full pivot
#

woo! ive figured out how to use the NWN2 Toolset haha

gilded canopy
teal mason
#

This one even better

fluid hare
#

So other-games has D&D now!

#

Hot damn

austere lance
bronze wind
#

Nice that Sony is being good about that.

austere lance
#

Is it weird that I want to get a cheap-ass Wii U just for Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD

bronze wind
#

nah tbh I want to do that same

#

But I'm worried right after I do they'll announce them for switch or something lmao

austere lance
#

Lol

winter yew
#

emulate it

bronze wind
#

I might, since they don't make the wii u anymore and I don't want to pay a high price for one

meager panther
#

Not worth it

#

Especially a discontinued console

bronze wind
#

Pretty much

#

Unless you enjoy having the physical thing, which I get

rare coral
#

See I don’t think the crashes are caused by anthem. At least I haven’t seen someone give good proof.

#

But I guess that’s good on Sony?

austere lance
#

You can get Wii U's for $80 on ebay, lol @bronze wind

bronze wind
#

I just don't really use ebay

#

and emulation is free, I don't want to spend $80 to play two games

#

I can also survive not playing wind waker for the 1000th time 😅

meager panther
#

So if your console goes to heaven because of anthem,will you get refunds for the console or what?

#

👀

#

Well replacement or something

rigid haven
#

Why would your console die from Anthem

meager panther
#

Coz people have it bricked when anthem crashed

winter yew
#

Playing the game means you accept the license terms and the license terms state they take no responsibility for software or hardware damage.

rare coral
#

I feel it’s unlikely to be anthems fault

meager panther
#

Wat

#

That's like dumb

#

The reddit had reports of people having their consoles bricked when anthem crashed

#

And made it a dead weight

rare coral
#

Claims yes

#

I didn’t see much proof

winter yew
#

Not dumb cause you could purposely play it knowing your hardware is almost dead and then claim the game killed it.

rare coral
#

Which might have happened with the first cases for all we know

austere lance
#

It's crashing on both consoles and bricking Playstations

meager panther
#

I mean there would be crash reports and also this is not isolated cases too

rare coral
#

Like I said I’m weary to take word of mouth

meager panther
#

Like many people are having this bricked issue

winter yew
#

I'm gunna assume the PS4's are original base model.

rare coral
#

Especially on the internet

winter yew
#

Nobody lies on the internet though.

meager panther
#

No it's happening on the pro too

rare coral
winter yew
#

🤷

bronze wind
#

Where is the article saying it's bricking ps4s lmao

rare coral
#

It came from reddit

meager panther
#

On that post

bronze wind
#

Crashing != Bricking

rare coral
#

And the guy that posted it says the same about a lot of games apparently

meager panther
#

See reddit gaming

bronze wind
#

gaming is not a reliable source

rare coral
#

Here

austere lance
#

Just type Anthem in Google and watch the fireworks, lol

winter yew
#

One of the Funhaus guys had the Anthem demo/beta corrupt his HDD.

austere lance
#

Oof

winter yew
#

But again it's that thing, if the hardware is already failing.

bronze wind
#

Crashes can cause a bunch of problems if they're console crashes

meager panther
#

That's the post

rare coral
#

Gamer I literally posted that

meager panther
#

Oh

rare coral
#

Not even five minutes ago

meager panther
#

😳

winter yew
#

Lmao

austere lance
#

This is a new thing, btw. I've played both betas and the full game on my crappy old Xbox with no crashing issues (besides the first day of the closed demo, lol)

meager panther
#

Smack me daddy

#

😳

rare coral
#

Gross

winter yew
#

🤢

meager panther
#

Meh tbh

#

I didn't see that

rare coral
#

In any case I don’t really believe it

#

At least anthem being the cause and not malfunctioning hardware

meager panther
#

Anyway there are many people commenting about bricking (not crashes)

bronze wind
#

The crashing seems to be somewhat common, bricking can be a combination of a lot of thinfs

austere lance
#

Well it worked on everyone's platform (more or less) until recently, so I'd say Bioware screwed the pooch with their latest update or something

rare coral
#

I mean I’ve had it crash on me but never brick my ps4

bronze wind
#

Bricking is likely rare

brisk merlin
#

could be a heating issue

bronze wind
#

And all the people saying "same" in the thread are talking about crashes

brisk merlin
#

like games cutting out because card overheat

bronze wind
#

Except for a couple

#

Heating can play a part, but some were getting crashes straight out of rest mode

meager panther
#

Heh this is actually new tbh

#

I think only time I remember games bricking PC's was like a decade ago with some DRM called securerom or something

bronze wind
#

In any case you can usually just reinstall the PS4 software via usb

#

You'll have to reinstall games but I doubt it's bricked unless it broke hardware, which is unlikely

meager panther
#

I had my laptop bricked once after installing a game with that DRM

#

The laptop was a goner

#

That was 12 years ago I think

winter yew
#

If you can power up you can unbrick relatively easy.

#

Most devices is same rule

bronze wind
#

Yeah, seems like his won't turn on though

#

Which makes me think hardware, which makes me believe it's more than just anthem

meager panther
#

I gave it for repair under warranty and they just gave a new laptop

winter yew
#

Yeah failing hardware for sure.

#

It can happen, we just had wifi card die on our XB1.

bronze wind
#

A crash doesn't help when hw is bad but it won't be the sole blame

winter yew
#

I could say NMS broke one of my SSD's.

#

Cause it was the last thing I played before it never worked again.

rare coral
#

The guy posted about dark siders doing the same thing

#

As anthem

bronze wind
#

Yeah it's typical for people to blame games for things like this lol

winter yew
#

Yeah it happens

bronze wind
#

If you read steam forums that's most of what I see

#

"this game bricked my PC fuck the devs" on like every game

rare coral
#

I’ve never read steam forums

bronze wind
#

I have like 3 times

rare coral
bronze wind
#

In terms of help forums

#

Idk, never read those

rare coral
#

Good

bronze wind
#

I've read comments on some news postings on steam though

#

And those are always the same

#

in any case I hope they find and fix the crashing on consoles

meager panther
winter yew
#

Oh well, I don't care if I'm being honest.

meager panther
#

This is from a day ago

winter yew
#

I hope those that are playing are enjoying it.

#

I am very much looking forward to playing.

brisk merlin
#

yes I am waiting for march update

#

100 new cosmetics you can get from playing dungeons

winter yew
#

Oh damn

brisk merlin
#

strongholds i mean

bronze wind
#

oh that's neat

austere lance
#

They ever gonna add more than 30 guns, lol

bronze wind
#

ask them

austere lance
#

They're hiding, haven't seen any of them talk (besides trying to defend themselves) in the Anthem server in a week

bronze wind
#

"hiding"

#

what you mean is working

meager panther
#

Who is hiding

#

👻

bronze wind
#

devs I guess

echo hill
#

Is anthem dead yet?

bronze wind
#

I thought they were working but I guess that's blasphemy

echo hill
#

Was it ever alive?

bronze wind
#

bee what 😩

austere lance
#

I mean, they used to work and talk all the time. Now they don't

meager panther
#

I mean it's not bringing in 50 million players.so I guess it ded seanbow

bronze wind
#

That must mean they're hiding

#

No other explanation 🤔

rare coral
#

Lol zoid

echo hill
#

Marco

meager panther
#

Pierre

bronze wind
#

shh bee i'm hiding

#

not working even though i'm getting paid to work

meager panther
#

🤔

#

Zoid priveleges

echo hill
#

Me too zoid!!

cinder vessel
#

Anthem devs take the weekend off & don't say much, omg ded, lmao

echo hill
#

I mean tbf I can't really work rn

bronze wind
#

I'm not at work

#

just at home slacking

winter yew
#

Same

echo hill
#

Wot hex

#

Wait a sec

winter yew
#

I'm at home slacking.

#

But I am technically at work too.

echo hill
#

At work home slacking

winter yew
#

Hahaha

#

I have done zero work today.

echo hill
#

Fun!

winter yew
#

=\

echo hill
#

What's for dinner hex?

winter yew
#

Garlic butter chicken, roast potato's, roast carrots and egg fried rice.

meager panther
#

Oh

#

Nice

bronze wind
#

hoyl fuck

meager panther
#

Well chicken and egg is nice

echo hill
#

Holy shit

meager panther
#

Remaining I don't want

winter yew
#

Good job you're not invited.

meager panther
#

Oh

#

Ni

#

Bad hex

#

I want the chicken and egg tho

#

You can have the rice

#

Carrot

#

And potatoes

winter yew
#

Thanks

meager panther
#

So?

winter yew
#

Tomorrow it is pancake day.

#

😩

meager panther
#

What about me

#

Am I invited or not

winter yew
#

Not for pancakes.

meager panther
#

I don't want pancakes

#

Am I invited for chickens and eggs

winter yew
meager panther
#

Oh no

#

Well battery ded

#

Bye

winter yew
#

Nice

#

See ya

bronze wind
#

he fucking died

echo hill

Ok

rare coral
#

Well that’s interesting

winter yew
#

Yes

jade lake
#

hey fellas

jade lake
#

have any of u heard of a game called tyranny

winter yew
#

nope

#

I've heard of Tyrian though

jade lake
#

thats a good game

bronze wind
#

I have @jade lake

#

I've played maybe 45 mins of it

jade lake
#

i heard it was p good

bronze wind
#

Not really my thing tbh but it was okay

jade lake
#

im not a fan of isometric rpgs but i dig the character building kinda stuff, from the looks of it at least

bronze wind
#

Yeah I don't mind isometric. Idk why it just didn't really sit with me though. I'll have to boot it up and figure out my gripes.

jade lake
#

and then become the ultimate gamer

#

😎

#

im mostly interested because its obsidians most recent title and outer worlds has me peepin em out

full pivot
#

strangely enough i just started playing Tyranny finally last night; i think i've found my love for crpgs lately though

jade lake
#

its on sale and it keeps giving me looks lmao

#

might have to cop

full pivot
#

just know you'll be in for a similar experience to things like Pillars of Eternity etc

jade lake
#

i enjoyed PoE a bit so hopefully i'll like this one more

full pivot
#

its gonna be one of my 9 rpgs im going to try to finish this year

jade lake
#

maybe i can finally appreciate the older fallout games after playing this lol

#

something about them i just cant get into

full pivot
#

maybe you dont like the pacing of old style rpgs haha

#

they also have that aspect XCOM has where things are somewhat based on luck too (rolls)

jade lake
#

yea its probs the pacing, the first fallout especially is just sooo slow to me

full pivot
#

early levels in them are also somewhat frustrating because you feel so weak

austere lance
#

Ah, Xcom. Never played 2 but the first game was 😍

winter yew
#

Anthem's crashing just makes me shudder for the future of Gaming. Beware of "Games as a Service," because they're 9of10 a label naturally applied over games that will be utterly broken at launch.

#

Or... bleak, rather. You can wait a year and get the same game for $30 at the bargain bin.

#

Or in FO76's case, a month later.

austere lance
#

Anthem broke me, I only play singleplayer games and revived games like Destiny 2 now

winter yew
#

I still have the pins they gave me for pre-ordering ANTHEM. They're a stark reminder of how I dodged a bullet

#

because I cancelled it

austere lance
#

Oof

winter yew
#

and I cancelled destiny too. not no man's sky though, but I think that was meant to happen.

#

I want to support developers but not like this, not at the cost of the industry

#

fix your shit before it releases

#

and I don't mean every bug, but rather crashing entire consoles or every game mechanic not working.

austere lance
#

I almost pre-ordered Anthem but my fuckery senses were tingling so I didn't, I was wise. I pre-ordered Destiny 2 but at least I got 100 hours out of it before getting bored. I got 5 out of Anthem xD

#

Blessed be the EA Access trial, it saved me $60

cinder vessel
#

Left Alive tomorrow, v. interested to see how that goes 👀

#

In the meantime I picked up Ace Combat 7 since it was on sale

winter yew
#

doesn't seem like it went too well in japan

austere lance
#

I hope Ace Combat is selling well, flying games are always fun

winter yew
#

remember when titanfall 3 was being made

brisk merlin
#

No

austere lance
#

Nope

winter yew
#

okay.. well it was...

#

it became apex legends

brisk merlin
#

Uhh

#

You sure?

winter yew
#

yes

#

"Respawn had been working on a version of Titanfall 3 at some point, but the success of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, and the company’s acquisition by Electronic Arts, caused a rethink."

#

I have another source who leaked it out or something beforehand

#

give me a second

brisk merlin
#

You just had all that ready

#

Like the instant I said that you posted all of them

winter yew
#

I felt the tension before it happened. they call me "Expand, The Psychic."

austere lance
#

Kotaku states that Titanfall 3 was in development during Fall 2017 when EA purchased Respawn. It seems that Titanfall 3 was looking quite dated so it was cancelled in favor of this

winter yew
#

I don't blame them for going down the BR route, but it does kinda feel... cheap, I guess? it's an excellent game because it's by Respawn, but it's one that I kinda want to see what would've been TF3

cinder vessel
#

a shame as i quickly burnt out on Apex

winter yew
#

yeah, me too

#

I do with all these BR games. I loved TF2's MP though

cinder vessel
#

i'll probably pick it back up if they introduce other modes tho or something

brisk merlin
#

Tf2 had good mp and sp

winter yew
#

I sinned by never completing it

#

I got close

cinder vessel
#

fucking hell my brain went to Team Fortress, lmao

winter yew
#

it was amazing, the bits I've played

#

especially the part where you travel through time

cinder vessel
#

Can we call it Tit2?

brisk merlin
#

No

#

That nsfw

cinder vessel
#

no that's the only number of Tits so far

brisk merlin
#

Blue tit

cinder vessel
#

look if we can't talk about it as Tit then i guess it's Tifa

winter yew
#

hey if TF3 lets me play as lifeline the entire time I'll be happy

#

or, sorry

#

TiT3

brisk merlin
#

YA MON

winter yew
#

COME AND GET YA BIRTHDAY PRESENT

brisk merlin
#

TNFL2

winter yew
#

yeah, sounds better

cinder vessel
#

The Night Feels Love 2

brisk merlin
#

That Nut Forgot Lilac

cinder vessel
#

WTF

#

you never forget lilac

agile raven
#

Team Fortress 3?

cinder vessel
#

ohey 👻 returns

agile raven
#

Hello hello

#

@jade lake keen for TOW?

jade lake
#

oh hell yeah

#

arent u a mod?

agile raven
#

Yep

jade lake
#

flexin those emotes lol

agile raven
#

I'm hoping for a release date at E3

#

It's highly likely

jade lake
#

it has to be at E3

agile raven
#

I expect an October release tbh

jade lake
#

i was kinda hoping it would be at the end of the game informer info tbh

#

yea october sounds like a good guess

agile raven
#

See now that's odd

#

Gameinformer has had almost exclusive rights to publishing new info

#

It's super unusual

jade lake
#

for sure

#

the transparency from obsidian is so refreshing

#

its weird seeing devs so open about their game lol

#

which is a shame

agile raven
#

It's so different

#

I've been really into GTA Online again recently and R* is one of the worst devs in terms of PR

austere lance
#

Anthem devs were open, didn't help them xD
Fr tho, Outer Worlds looks hella good. I love phat singleplayer RPG's

agile raven
#

A studio that quite literally never listens to the community

#

Lol yeah but they have EA up their ass

#

What else did we expect

jade lake
#

i love the weapon designs for outer worlds, the shrink ray looks p tight

agile raven
#

Only reason Apex is still above board is because it's intentionally harder to push nasty monetization

austere lance
#

Can't even blame EA tbh, which is even more sad. Apex had zero influence from EA too

agile raven
#

Even if it's F2P

#

Yeah it's a refreshing experience

#

TOW only post launch monetization will be DLC expansion probably

#

If they even charge for it

jade lake
#

i think if they do dlc it will be done right

cinder vessel
#

speaking of refreshing, Toejam & Earl Back in the Groove is refreshingly silly

jade lake
#

and probs be worth the price

austere lance
#

I hope Outer Worlds is amazing, it looks hella good

agile raven
#

Yeah and there's plenty of inspiration for a sequel even now I hear

jade lake
#

outer worlds is the one game i need to be good this year

agile raven
#

Like that super rich guy who bought a colonly by himself and the first thing he did was close it off

#

No one has heard from him or that colony in 100 years

cinder vessel
#

lol

austere lance
#

I like how it took a page from Borderlands and made guns from different corporations do different things

agile raven
#

No safe NPCs btw

#

You can literally kill anything

jade lake
#

thank the lord

austere lance
#

Beautiful xD

jade lake
#

i plan on doing like, a million playthroughs

#

as i did with new vegas

agile raven
#

Same

austere lance
#

I like how it pulled a Mass Effect and lets you visit planets in whatever order you want

jade lake
#

the random encounters in space sound like they should be interesting

#

i also like that there's a level cap

austere lance
#

Ohshit, I need info on those

agile raven
#

And thank god for a break in the Open World apocalypse

cinder vessel
#

I'm glad Toejam & Earl turned out as well it did, I really wasn't sure if it'd end up another technical mess or poorly modernized old game

jade lake
#

agreed spirit

agile raven
#

I'm sick of fetch quests

jade lake
#

im totally down for a KOTOR sized map, im so tired of open worlds with tons of empty space

full pivot
#

Only game I want to be good coming out is Dreams

austere lance
#

I've yet to find any RPG since Witcher 3 that I liked. Especially the godawful new Assassins Creed games 🤢

full pivot
#

I have a feeling Outer Worlds will bomb

cinder vessel
#

Early Access tho has me hmm about Dreams

jade lake
#

dreams looks crazy good

austere lance
#

Why would Outer Worlds bomb 🤔

cinder vessel
#

But what I have tried of Dreams was good

full pivot
#

No offense Leon I'm not really gonna base it on you haha

#

We dont have similar tastes

austere lance
#

Obsidian literally does nothing but make good RPG's

cinder vessel
#

oh i don't expect ya to, lol

full pivot
#

That's why soul

cinder vessel
#

Still tho, what I have tried of Dreams has been good

full pivot
#

Its the same shit as the last 2 major anticipated releases that failed

jade lake
#

oh wait by bomb do you mean saleswise?

full pivot
#

And get released broken prolly

#

I think it could be worth something but id be extremely cautious

cinder vessel
#

Probably a bit of both tbh, Obsidian hasn't had a ton of luck in sales or technical polish

austere lance
#

Different game types tho. Anthem was a multiplayer-only online game, Outer Worlds is a singleplayer RPG

jade lake
#

time and budget is something they have been pushing a lot surrounding the game

cinder vessel
#

Remember Alpha Protocol 👀

jade lake
#

especially in the interviews

full pivot
#

Believe what you want forget I said anything palm

cinder vessel
#

lol we may not have similar tastes Aethena, but we have similar wariness at times

agile raven
#

I don't care if it's not AAA quality on release. It doesn't have that budget to begin with

austere lance
#

Like, multiplayer online games are definitely gonna be broken on release. Singleplayer RPG's from experienced devs are different

agile raven
#

I'm happy to stick around if Obsidian treats me right

jade lake
#

i just want it to be playable at launch

#

thats all i ask

#

doesnt have to be perfect

cinder vessel
#

Knights of the Old Republic 2 & Alpha Protocol tho @austere lance

agile raven
#

I like how they themselves cautioned people against overhyping the game

KotOR 2 was good af and won a ton of awards, lol

cinder vessel
#

but was also notoriously buggy

agile raven
#

So was New Vegas

jade lake
#

new vegas is one of the buttfugliest games i have ever seen and played

#

but its still in my top 10

#

still havent played anything like it

#

except maybe like FO3

#

but thats a given

austere lance
#

Did you play 3, lol. Now THAT was buttfugly

jade lake
#

i liked 3 for the most part

agile raven
#

The PC release was the worst of them all

jade lake
#

bethesda pc releases are always p terrible

agile raven
#

I want a sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn

#

:>

cinder vessel
#

To be fair New Vegas was rushed af

#

Not sure about the others tho

agile raven
#

Yeah production was bumped up by almost a year

jade lake
#

and it still came out on top
in my heart at least lmao

agile raven
#

Yikes

#

The DLC hasn't been beat

#

They're all fantastic

#

Dead Money is easily one of my favorites

jade lake
#

that one gave me the heebie jeebies ngl

agile raven
#

Lol fair enough

jade lake
#

nah i liked it alot bcs of that reason

austere lance
#

My favorite DLC's are the Realms of Madness one from Oblivion and Undead Nightmare from Red Dead Redemption

agile raven
#

Ooof Read Dead

#

The online mode is tragic

full pivot
#

I'm ready to take on the crpgs

#

Baldurs gate, planescape torment, divinity original sin

#

Neverwinter Nights

#

But I wont make much progress this week 😅

rigid haven
#

CRPG?

#

What's the C stand for?

full pivot
#

Classic

#

DnD style basically

rigid haven
#

Ahhh

#

I've been meaning to try Neverwinter Nights

#

Never got around to it because of storage

cinder vessel
#

At one point it also meant Computer, but that's v. redundant these days

rigid haven
#

I wonder what they called classical music back when it was new

cinder vessel
#

that newfangled noise

fluid hare
#

Likely.

#

Or Nouveau.

full pivot
#

Idk it depends if they still called it the "classical" age at the time

austere lance
#

Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance 2 was lit

cinder vessel
#

I've been meaning to revisit some of those eventually

#

I have Planescape: Torment sitting about waiting to be played

austere lance
#

Neverwinter Nights II was cool, never finished it tho

#

Wasn't a fan of Divinity

cinder vessel
#

But tbh I prefer the scifi RPGs in this vein more, like say Shadowrun Returns...I think that fits

austere lance
#

Remember when they made a 3D Shadowrun

cinder vessel
#

Maybe not quite, but has the perspective down

austere lance
#

I think the 3D one was pvp-only, lol

cinder vessel
#

Eh, sorta, wasn't it supposedly kinda good?

austere lance
#

Idk, it was pvp only so I avoided it 😄

full pivot
#

Oh yeah shadowrun is on the list too

cinder vessel
#

That reminds me, I think Tyranny is supposed to be another dark fantasy CRPG, no?

full pivot
#

Yes

#

I started it last night

agile raven
#

Yeah ok I think I'm done with Red Red Online now

austere lance
#

The 3D Shadowrun is backwards compatible, lol

agile raven
#

The money was worth it for single player but...

full pivot
#

Non spoiler the setup is you travel to the last free lands under the banner of Kyros the overlord's empire to declare an edict that all in the valley will die unless the war is won

austere lance
#

Fuck the new Red Dead's online. First game had a much better one

agile raven
#

Not willing to be dragged along through the online bullshit

cinder vessel
#

Hmm, curious, may pick up Tyranny on sale sometime, or dig through some reviews. The art style had caught my eye

austere lance
#

Not a fan of RDR 2 in general tbh. I liked the first Redemption a helluva lot more

agile raven
#

@austere lance they're focusing more on adding MTX than actual things to do

#

And they nerfed the only somewhat worthwhile way to make money, hunting

#

BY 50 PERCENT

#

And the fucking Bounty system

#

I'm getting punished for defending myself?

#

Are Rockstar really this dense?

cinder vessel
#

that's kind of zero surprise tho? The online side of those games has typically been about finding new ways to squeeze cash outta fans than much else, at least from much of what i've read

#

it's probably less Rockstar and more their publishers, but who knows

agile raven
#

Yeah true. The only way I still play GTA Online is because I glitch a server connection exploit on a heist that's been in the game for more than a year now

#

If I had to grind 700 hours to buy a plane yeah fuck that

full pivot
#

Idk they dont really seem like multiplayer focused developers either so theyre prolly getting advice elsewhere

agile raven
#

Well they seem pretty damn focused on making the exact same mistakes they did with GTA

#

Only worse?

#

They don't care about appearances anymore

full pivot
#

I mean I doubt its hurting them that much

cinder vessel
#

yeah, the single-player keeps selling, and there's probably enough diehard fans paying for the online stuff to make up for whatever associated costs

agile raven
#

Of course not. Because while people wil always raise a fuss, it's all just noise

#

Nobody takes real action

rigid haven
#

Friends I play with on GTA Online haven't even played the story

#

Which is sad, since it's pretty good

agile raven
#

I haven't finished my latest run through, but I've finished it like 4 times since I originally got it on the PS3

#

Enough satire for two lifetimes

cinder vessel
willow crypt
#

Quite the dev story

cinder vessel
#

Man Ace Combat 7 is good, esp. when the controls all click

meager panther
#

Lol i wanna hear your review after you reach mission 9

#

And then mission 19

#

Oh and don't even get me started on mission 20

reef storm
#

HOTAS support when..... (at least for the T.16000M)

meager panther
#

You can use x360ce for setting it up

#

It surprisingly works

#

There was a guide for it on the ace 7 reddit

reef storm
#

Hmm. I'll check it out when I'm off next.

meager panther
#

Yeah it tricks the game into thinking any controller/hota is the Xbox controller

#

You can map the buttons and stuff too

agile raven
#

Astroneer is agummyheart

#

I always kind of thought of it as

#

No Man's Sky: Downsized

full pivot
#

I haven't looked at it since way early access

#

I should

agile raven
#

I haven't played it in a few months myself

meager panther
#

Astroneer is not like no man's sky at all

agile raven
#

It's something that I find super easy to jump on with friends for some easy fun

meager panther
#

Though it does have the same issue of not having stuff to do without having friends to play

agile raven
#

Well that's that special little thing called your opinion isn't it

meager panther
#

I did play it

#

After it got out of EA

agile raven
#

Maybe I just luke cutesy things

#

They have certain endearing qualities

meager panther
#

It is cute ,just needs some eco system to it

brisk merlin
#

Uh

#

You can play it sp

#

Build up a base

#

Colonize all planets

Omg my party is making enemies of ths town every day 😓

iron inlet
#

Anthem is now crashing people's PS4's

#

jfc

#

this game is a dumpster fire

full pivot
#

Who coulda guessed lore

teal mason
#

not just crashing

#

bricking some of em too

#

which is just unfortunate but may have been avoided

brisk merlin
#

The devs responded to it

cinder vessel
#

past the EA investigating response?

idle saffron
winter yew

Looks so pretty. 😩

idle saffron

No you

meager panther

He ghost

#

He ded like 4 days ago

idle saffron
#

WHAT

meager panther
#

Yeah

idle saffron
#

Rip

#

❤

#

😢

meager panther
#

He ded 4 days ago. It's his ghost now speaking here

#

Out date went horribly bad on the island and the locals ate him

#

I barely escaped alive

idle saffron
#

I saw a movie like that recently

meager panther
#

What is it's name

idle saffron
#

Ummm

#

Gimmie a minute I'm blanking it

#

The Green Inferno

#

They don't go on a date, but the locals do eat some people

#

Starts slow, gets crazy

meager panther

Hmmm

idle saffron
idle saffron
#

Uh oh, what's the atlas doing here?1

full pivot

I prolly asked what that was before but I forgot

idle saffron
#

Astroneer

full pivot
#

Wow it really is different haha

idle saffron
#

Fun, but grindy

full pivot
#

Id imagine so

iron inlet
#

Just goes to show that being unable to use the meta weapons doesn't make you a bad player, with the right amount of skill you can make even the worst weapon types work

#

Also frustratingly close to a Sum of All Tears, can't wait to get that medal in D2

#

Wait actually I've already had a SoAT in D2, twice

idle saffron
#

I understand every word, but not the sentences themselves

iron inlet
#

Haha

#

A Sum of All Tears is when you get more kills than every other player combined

idle saffron
#

Ahhh

#

Good name

iron inlet
#

Bungie are good at naming

cinder vessel
#

grindy? ono 😩

#

what is with all these scifi games & grind, isn't the future supposed to be less of that

idle saffron
#

Grind might be the wrong word - you gain points for researching objects

#

Points are how you unlock other things to build

#

Researching can take anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour depending on the object and power supply

teal mason
#

I wish Bo didn't ruin Starbreeze so we can have Payday 3

#

Cos grind in PD literally only gives you a number

iron inlet
idle saffron
#

Soooo close

iron inlet

Holy fuck I just got a Ghost in the Night

Nah PS4! I have the base game for PC from when it was free, but I'm a console pleb 😂

I'm so so behind though!

uncut bramble

I asked my other half to pick me up the Annual Pass today and trade in something else

He just sent me this

austere lance

@iron inlet I got a Ghost In The Night once in D1, doubt I'll ever be able to pull it off again 😄

willow crypt

Started playing Planet Alpha, kinda generic so far, although some nice low poly environments and cool beasts.

kingdom hearts 3 so good omg

@austere lance I got one in D1 just using Icebreaker on twilight gap and camping C Spawn lmao

@uncut bramble RIP

Redownloading Astroneer after watching that doc

Only ever played like 20 mins of it since the gamepad mapping is a bit clunky

But I'll deal with it

Forgot to turn on "Allow downloads during gameplay" since I installed Steam on my new PC so I just spent a few hours playing DQXI while waiting for Astroneer, just to have it at the same progress moan

.......................... Wow.

i'll just kms for a bit then play

I hear putting funyons on your fingers is pretty fun activity

i wish i had funyons now

i may have made a poor decision =X

can't wait to see i guess?

austere lance

Weird third-person evolution game

cinder vessel

hmm

reef storm

I hope this is true

austere lance
#

That would be great, pc bois need to experience it too

fluid hare
#

That’s great!

winter yew
#

🤔

jade lake
#

i would so buy that

#

OOOOH fuck yes dude

#

they are bringing star tropics to switch

#

actually really hyped about this

winter yew
#

Mass Effect 3, yay or nay?

meager panther
#

Yesnt

#

(Actually good game)

winter yew
#

Alright I'll grab it.

#

Origin sale.

#

£1.99

meager panther
#

Oh nice

#

Always use the grenade launcher or the disk gun.you will win Everytime

winter yew
#

I got a few games in my basket. I never played Mass Effect until Andromeda and I sat through that a few times now.

meager panther
#

I used the disk gun and it was the best

#

What other guns

#

Games*

winter yew
#

Need For Speed: The Run, Need For Speed: Payback, Battlefront 2, Unravel 2, Fe, Crysis 3 and The Saboteur

agile raven
#

The Saboteur is fantastic

idle saffron
#

I liked it

winter yew
#

One of my favourite games, I had it on X360.

#

I never did get the jumping from Eiffel Tower without dying achievement.

idle saffron
#

I would have to look that up, can't remember

winter yew
#

Was a way to jump and slide down the frame which would get the achievement.

agile raven
#

I just emulated it myself

winter yew
#

But I died many times trying and gave up.

agile raven
#

It was a decent copy

winter yew
#

I picked it up from a bargain bin originally, I didn't expect much from it.

agile raven
#

It certainly surprised me too

#

In a pleasant sense

meager panther
#

Battlefront 2 and crysis 3 are good

#

Rest I don't know

agile raven
#

Crysis agummyheart

#

What a glorious FPS series

#

It's one of the few FPS games I truly experience that power fantasy

meager panther
#

Get the Gauss gun and you are set for life in the game

agile raven
#

I actually feel like a badass

#

similar to Titanfall 2

meager panther
#

That and the machine gun on the trucks are the only guns in the crysis series that's actually worth it

winter yew
#

Oh man Titanfall 2.

#

I only just recently played it.

#

My GF is currently sitting through it too.

#

I didn't even know it had a single player campaign else I'd have grabbed it a lot sooner.

agile raven
#

There's a reason Apex Legends has such an awesome flow of motion

meager panther
#

Is it always online or what?

agile raven
#

Titanfall 2 is that reason

meager panther
#

Titanfall 2

winter yew
#

No

#

Is a single player campaign.

agile raven
#

It has a single player campaign.

meager panther
#

Oh good

agile raven
#

On the shorter side

#

But it was really good

meager panther
#

Guess that's what I will get next

winter yew
#

You should.

#

I paid £2.95 for it brand new.

agile raven
#

I hear Fallout 76 is getting actual content this year

#

Easily my worst purchase ever in gaming terms

winter yew
#

I'm looking forward to playing FO76.

#

I have a personal promise to wait with online games.

agile raven
#

Play it at the end of this year I'd say

#

I've got one of my own now

#

It feels like an empty sandbox

#

Which wouldn't normally be a bad thing

teal mason
#

I used to think I won't get it until private servers are a thing

#

Now I just... Don't wanna get it at all

agile raven
#

But since FO76 totes itself as a big open world adventure for you and your friends...

#

I don't see much adventure

teal mason
#

^

meager panther
#

I would rather get star field

teal mason
#

Plus New Vegas is a lot cheaper and there's a mp mod for it 👌

meager panther
#

Fo76 had like 9 months production peridot

#

So guess 9 months gives this game

agile raven
#

New Vegas will forever hold a special place in my heart

#

And the sprint mod

idle saffron
#

Anthem is entertaining me

teal mason
#

Project Navada is the fucking best QoL mod

meager panther
#

Anyone play far cry new dawn

agile raven
#

oof Anthem

#

I didn't even play FC5

idle saffron
#

I have

meager panther
#

How is it

idle saffron
#

I am, along with anthem

#

It's as good as 5

meager panther
#

Idk how good 5 is

#

🤓

idle saffron
#

Basically a giant expansion pack

#

That's why it isn't full price

meager panther
#

No I am a new bie to the far cry series

idle saffron
#

Same engine, after the events of 5

#

It's good if you like open world sandbox

bronze wind
#

I've played a little of 5

#

Didn't finish tho

agile raven
#

I have Open World fatigue at this point

meager panther
#

Same

#

It's too big and nothing to do

#

In most games

idle saffron
#

Not farcry

#

It has too much to do

winter yew
#

I'll grab New Dawn in a sale.

bronze wind
#

I'll grab u

meager panther
#

I think next radical gaming development needs to be proper in-game AI for NPCs

teal mason
#

I just replay Witcher 3, NV and Skyrim

winter yew
#

yes plz Zoid 😩

idle saffron
#

You almost need to play 5 before new dawn

bronze wind
#

Omw

idle saffron
#

Lots of references and characters

meager panther
#

Polis

#

Weewooweewoo

winter yew
#

I was so angry with the ending for FC5.

#

But yeah, kinda makes sense with New Dawn being a thing.

idle saffron
#

Yeah

meager panther
#

Someone needs to develop a good NPC AI for use with any game and it needs to mimic actual human like behavior

idle saffron
#

Farcry does terrific

teal mason
#

I meam spinning around in circles is basically smarter than lotta human can do

idle saffron
#

Your companions go stealth with you, can drive or shoot independently of you

meager panther
#

Hmmm

agile raven
#

Anyone hear who they're casting as Geralt for the Netflix series?

#

Cavil...

meager panther
#

Me?

#

😳

#

Didn't he exit DC for that

agile raven
#

yes

meager panther
#

Superman becomes geralt

#

Good disguise

idle saffron
#

I will only watch that if the combat is clunky

teal mason
#

They are going with the book author's design

reef storm
agile raven
#

True

#

He did look much more Elven in the novels

winter yew
#

Pretty good fit tbh

teal mason
#

Witcher ain't clunky if you have whirl

#

Whirl is the least clunky thing ever

agile raven
#

I'm super keen for this series in any case

meager panther
#

Is it going to be like lotr?

agile raven
#

I just wonder when it'll hit Netflix Aus

winter yew
#

Friday

teal mason
#

LotR as in 1 book stretched into 3 movies?

agile raven
#

Not sure. Netflix series all have that certain Netflix flair if you know what I mean

meager panther
#

Wait it's going to be released Friday?

agile raven
#

I think it's covering the first 3 books?

meager panther
#

Hmmm

teal mason
#

How mamy books are there exactly?

fallen notch
#

LotR was 3 books stretched into 3 movies... The Hobbit was one (fairly short) book stretched into 3 movies.

reef storm
#

@meager panther No. End of 2019 is the estimate.

winter yew
#

I still need to watch LoTR 😩

teal mason
#

Same

meager panther
#

Same

teal mason
#

I mean again tho

#

Last time I watched was years ago

meager panther
#

I haven't watched lotr or the hobbit

idle saffron
#

There are7 or 8 books

meager panther
#

I just know it's about magic elves in forests

agile raven
#

7 I think

reef storm
idle saffron
#

You forgot season of storms

reef storm
#

Ah. Odd. So 8 then

#

Ohh, that's why it wasn't listed: It is not a sequel to the original Witcher Saga, but rather is set between the short stories in the first book in the series, The Last Wish.

agile raven
#

Is that the latest one?

#

Ohhh

reef storm
#

2013, so I think so?

agile raven
#

It's a little confusing but not unmanageable

reef storm
#

Wonder if the English editions are in a box set somewhere

agile raven
#

I believe there is a translated collection

#

It isn't all of them though

reef storm
#

Looks like the main 8 are translated now, according to the Wiki article

austere lance
#

@winter yew Mass Effect trilogy is 😍

#

I'm almost done with my trilogy playthrough

winter yew
#

I got ME2 for free at some point it seems as it's already in my Origin library and I don't remember purchasing it.

#

I have got ME3 now too.

#

I love the shit outta ME:A and I hear that was the worst one.

austere lance
#

ME1 is dated but there's mods that help

#

ME: A has the best gameplay but the story and characters aren't even in the same ballpark, lol

#

I'd recommend playing 1 just because a couple choices you make are important to 3. One of the best characters in the series is one you can lose in the first game if you aren't careful

winter yew
#

Ah ok, I'll grab 1 as well in that case.

#

I know what I'm doing this weekend.

austere lance
#

"Weekend"
Good luck, I'm 3/4 of the way through ME 3 and going through it at a decent pace and I'm 20+ hours in, the other games are the same 😂

meager panther
#

Wait the choices carry over to the next games?

austere lance
#

Yes

meager panther
#

How even?

austere lance
#

My choices in ME 1 affect 3

meager panther
#

Is it like a common save file?

#

Or what?

austere lance
#

Yeah, you import your save and character to the next game

#

And their choices, obviously

winter yew
#

That is dope AF tbh

meager panther
#

Wow didn't know that

austere lance
#

They even reward you for doing it. Importing your ME 1 character to ME 2 gives you free credits and resources, more if you were rich in ME 1.

#

Importing an ME 2 character to 3 starts you at level 30 with a Paragon/Renegade boost depending on which way you swing, lol

#

Hell, the games even reward you for doing NG+. You keep all your gear and levels and start with a Paragon/Renegade boost when you do NG+ on any of them

#

@winter yew Make sure you download the free Extended Edition add-on for 3, changes the game and adds MUCH better endings

winter yew
#

I would have missed that if you hadn't have said.

austere lance
#

And if you have $15 to spare there's one DLC for 3 that's basically a giant love-letter to the trilogy and gives everyone huge fan-gasms when they play it, not to mention adding fun stuff like a virtual arena to fight in and a whole apartment on the Citadel to customize. It brings together characters from all 3 games and is full of shenanigans. You can tell it's Biowares send-off to the trilogy, it was made with a lot of love. @winter yew

#

It's (fittingly) just called Citadel

winter yew
#

Oh damn, I'll grab that too.

willow crypt
#

uhoh feelin the Skyrim draw again

meager panther
#

So I am kinda confused as to what I should get

#

Titanfall 2 or new dawn

#

Which has more of a adventure experience to it?

#

Like small quests,areas to explore etc

#

Which game has that

winter yew
#

New Dawn over Titanfall 2 if you're looking for them things.

#

Titanfall 2 is on sale on Origin right now though.

#

I saw it in the list when I was buying games earlier.

echo hill
#

titanfall 2 is so fucking good

winter yew
#

It really is.

echo hill
#

i just finished it a few days ago

#

one of the missions in that game is my new favorite mission in any game ive played

winter yew
#

I managed to grab it a little while back for £2.95 brand new.

echo hill
#

oh damn

winter yew
#

Yeah, I'd have been happy to pay full price.

#

I didn't know it had single player campaign.

#

I got Titanfall 1 and enjoyed the multiplayer.

#

So I might jump on multiplayer Titanfall 2.

meager panther
#

Titan Fall 2 is just open world shooting?

#

Nothing more or what?

echo hill
#

no its a linear campaign

meager panther
#

Hmmm ok

echo hill
#

think call of duty but good

meager panther
#

Are there any other stuff you can do in it? Other than shooting and walking?

echo hill
#

fight in giant robots

#

of awesomeness

meager panther
#

Hmmm

winter yew
#

They are freaking awesome too.

echo hill
#

very

#

man that campaign just made me feel like a mofo badass

winter yew
#

The movement system is Apex Legends + wall running.

#

The wall running makes me feel like a badass 😛

echo hill
#

also the game runs on a modified version of the source engine so it has similar movement quirks to csgo and half life

#

like air strafing and bhopping

winter yew
#

It really is worth the purchase.

echo hill
meager panther
#

I think I am going to get new dawn first

#

And then get tf2 after finishing that

echo hill
#

i really want titanfall 3 😩

winter yew
#

Respawn is working on another game in the Titanfall universe that isn't Titanfall 3 or anything Apex.

meager panther
#

Oh

#

How do you know that

winter yew
#

I'm pretty sure I read it.

#

Hang on, let me see if I can find anything.

#

TBH, that has mobile game written all over it.

#

I completely missed that before.

meager panther
winter yew
#

😢

echo hill
#

id love for them to expand more on the lore

#

and please have more missions like that one mission

#

ya know which one...

winter yew
#

😩

#

Also, I'm not a fan of Star Wars but I'm very interested to see what Respawn are gunna do with the game they are working on.

#

Just because it's Respawn.

echo hill
#

??

winter yew
#

They're making that.

echo hill
#

ahh right

winter yew
#

I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy the game even with no concept of the movies.

meager panther
#

Oh and don't forget the marvel game

#

Pretty epic

#

A whole open world with main mcu character

#

I'm not really a fan of superhero's.

echo hill
#

except for spiderman

#

spiderman was phenomenal

winter yew
#

I didn't play it.

#

I heard great things about it and only great things.

#

It's like anthem

#

Just more popular

#

At least the iron Man character

#

Would be like that

#

Tbh I would really like it if it has stuff like Thor,hulk,iron Man,vision,thanos

#

I played Lego Superhero's and enjoy the shit outta that tbh.

#

Then this would be like that except Lego had a puberty change and become beautiful

#

😏

winter yew
#

=\

meager panther
#

Well I mean like the graphics are more realistic

#

Instead of being legos

winter yew
#

I don't care for graphics for the most part.

#

But I see what you're saying.

meager panther
#

I mean Lego is totally controlled what you do

#

It's basically platformer

#

Now it becomes open world

#

Better graphics

#

Plus it's canon

winter yew
#

The Lego games are mostly open world now.

#

I have The Lego Movie and Lego City Undercover.

meager panther
#

Yeah but most missions are 3d platformer type stuff

winter yew
#

Oh I see

#

Yes, correct.

meager panther
#

You basically assemble stuff and then fire

#

You cant move around mich

#

Etc

#

I have completed Lego incredibles,Lego marvl super heros 1 and 2 ,Lego jurrasic world,Lego star wars

#

All of them have the same formula but full of humor and stuff

#

I think if you want to feel like in the movies ,this is probably good
