Last one I liked was Syndicate. Origins annoyed me and I refuse to touch Odyssey
reef storm
Origins was alright. Should go back and finish it.
winter yew
I "borrowed" it but never did purchase legit.
I see it on Humble Bundle this month
So I will finally purchase it.
cinder vessel
That reminds me, there's a Ubisoft sale going at GameStop atm, if you still like having disc copies
winter yew
Total donation is at around $700m already dude.
cinder vessel
should make the repairs out of that cold hard cash itself

No this is Patrick

So I've never played Dying Light but I got Dying Light: The Following Enhanced Edition cuz it's apparently a revamped version of the original game with all DLC
viral token
also...
For one week you'll be able to get (and keep) Assassin's Creed Unity for free (on PC)
Claim your copy here: http://assassinscreed.com/unity-notredame/
bronze wind
@austere lance dying light is very fun, especially once you get some decent parkour upgrades
bronze wind
Glad there's a second one coming out
austere lance
Looked cool and I've heard good things about it, I figured I'd get the Enhanced Edition thing with all DLC since it's on sale for $20
bronze wind
Yeah that's a great price
austere lance
I loved the first Dead Island, so I figured a game made by the same people with a LOT more money behind them should be fun af 😄
cinder vessel
I'm much more interested in Dying Light 2 given the focus on narrative
Dying Light has gameplay, by all accounts, but a rather 😴 narrative
bronze wind
Yeah I didn't really follow the story too too much, just enjoyed the jumping around and drop kicking zombois
austere lance
I saw somebody sneak up and snap a zombie's neck in the Enhanced Edition trailer, lol
Which I thought was a bit ridiculous, but oh well 😄
I like the Mad Max shit you can do with the cars
rotund stone
austere lance
The official one
winter yew
I only played original Doom.
austere lance
DOOM 2016 was cool, I'm one of the 3 people on earth that didn't love it tho
winter yew
It never really looked appealing to me.
winter yew
😭
reef storm
I'm looking forward to Doom: Eternal
winter yew
Now I did watch gameplay/trailer for Eternal and it does look fun.
Doom 2016 just looked like the fun factor was set to minimum.
Where Eternal is level 11/10
winter yew
Original Doom was SUPER fun via LAN.
Doom isn't horror as such.
Just a relentless horde of enemies.
reef storm
Doom 2016 wasn't groundbreaking or anything, just mindless fun with interesting lore
austere lance
@meager panther DOOM isn't horror, it's "Violently dismember and shoot 5000 demons" 😄
bronze wind
Doom 2016 was very good. Guns feel great to use and the glory kills are awesome lol
And the soundtrack makes it 👌

I love how they kept the oldschool designs in doom eternal

The binding of isaac is one o the best games ever made tbh
winter yew
I rage quitted that game SO many times.
visual snow
I find it quite easy npw
Once you know the items
And are able to get the deals with the devil
The story is where it really shines as well
winter yew
Anyone playing Star Citizen?
hollow acorn
Yeah, waiting for 3.5 to go LIVE, though.
Can't enjoy 3.4's flight model.
Which ship do you own?
austere lance
Asp Explorer
winter yew
Aurora MR unfortunately. But I have the option to trade it in. I want to do Industry
hollow acorn
I own an Aurora MR, too.
Good starter ship.
Don't buy any ships, though.
If you want to support the project just subscribe, you'll get a different ship to test every month... if you don't mind the $10. If you do, then contribute the Issue Counsel.
3.5 had been a rollercoaster. Biggest update since 3.0
bronze wind
Don't you support the project by buying the game? lol
Along with the other millions of dollars they've already raised?
cinder vessel
they take blood drips these days too @bronze wind
bronze wind
Makes sense
hollow acorn
Yeah, buying the game is already supporting it.
You can do f*ck-ton of stuff by being a $45 backer
Test out the first few waves of the major quarterly updates in the test server before it goes live and give feedback about anything that might help is one of the important ones you can do.
If not, wait for the quarterly updates to go LIVE and enjoy it after it's been polished enough.
bronze wind
Will probably just wait until it's out and check the pricing on it at that point
Not gonna pay to give feedback lol
cinder vessel
^
hollow acorn
Either way, the project is in alpha. 3.4 is the current LIVE one.
3.5 is in testing and will go live in the next week or so
These are the quarterly developments from the road-map that you can find on their website.
Each bringing us closer to beta.
cinder vessel
that reminds me about how bummed i am that Oxygen Not Included is still in Early Access
I think I'll enjoy it when it's finished, but I'm just so tired of Early Access stuff anymore
Tbh I'm still not entirely convinced that it doesn't also sometimes shoot games in the foot from netting release excitement/interest
hollow acorn
I still think it'll be another 2-4 years, to be honest.
bronze wind
I'll dig it when it's a one-time purchase type thing.
hollow acorn
All my hype is coming from participating in a lot of community operations in the game.
bronze wind
If they keep the massive priced things after release it's not for me anyway
hollow acorn
There is nothing you can do in-game, yet we can do whatever the f*ck we want if we carry out those operations.
Nah, they are taking everything away and leaving the early backers with a couple of the common ships
The exclusive ones will be extremely rare post-launch. Some will have it for backing the game early, others will have to work weeks, maybe months to get them.
bronze wind
As long as they stick to that I'll check it out when it comes out, probably watch some videos or something
cinder vessel
others will have to work weeks, maybe months to get them so it may end up being less a game and more a second or third job, yeah no thanks
hollow acorn
yeah well
you can find yourself other means of escapism that specifically suits you
No Man's Sky is one for me lol
Had to work months to have the base that I had...
Was worth it.
cinder vessel
sure, but i think a game has done something wrong if there's no way to bypass having to put in a ton of time to get somewhere/something
like with NMS, you can build a base in Creative without having to have had taken all that time
but then i think it's important to keep games in perspective as games 🤷
hollow acorn
You're right, and sometimes it's microtransactions, and sometimes microtransactions are only cosmetic.
Some games are free-to-play, some are pay-to-play
And some are pay-to-win
As long as it's not pay-to-win
I'm good.
This one is aiming towards role-playing more.
Role-playing as a pilot, to be exact.
You have plenty to role-play in a tiny cheap ship. The only real work you need to do is get the profession ships.
Miners will have to have mining ships.
cinder vessel
i think i'd fall back to modded freelancer servers for my fill of that
hollow acorn
Organizations (like guilds) that have a lot of resources will have members with big cargo ships
Space pirates will mostly have fighter ships...
fluid hare
I highly dislike PTW games.
cinder vessel
i don't like pay to be expressive games
hollow acorn
It's like paying for a Premium member in Spotify and still getting premium ads.
cinder vessel
like games that make you pay not just for cosmetics but emotes and basic recoloring of things
costumes okay, maybe, but changing the color of equipment you got through playing the game? no thanks
hollow acorn
Yeah, I can only tolerate that on f2p games
Some are good with and some are good without
But once you get that kind of bullsh*t in a game you already paid for playing... naah
Greed
cinder vessel
yeeahh, free to play monetization creeping in to paid games can bugger off
but even with free to play, i find much of that stuff irritating
hollow acorn
The studio has to make money somehow you know
pay bills and sh*t
It all depends on how they do it
cinder vessel
just be upfront and call it a demo at that point tho
depending on the severity of it, mind
hollow acorn
agreed
full beacon
Assassins creed unity is currently free
cinder vessel
they put it out tho
ember spear
What should we set on fire next and what game do you think we'll get for free
austere lance
Gotta love Elite Dangerous having zero free cosmetics at all, lol @cinder vessel
Every single cosmetic costs some stupid currency you have to buy
fallen notch
Couldn't do that, it'd get in the way of their not-so-microtransactions.
austere lance
Locks half the game behind Horizons
Has zero free cosmetics in the game
Releases content 3x slower than Hello Games, none of which actually changes the game in any useful way
cinder vessel
I mean you knew it was going downhill the moment they made it always online. The only games, besides MMOs, that do that these days are wannabe games as a service that exist largely to get you to buy in then pay more & more
fallen notch
Original Elite was basically a single-player MMO before MMOs existed. ED is the obvious next step.
austere lance
Holy shit, ED has been out since 2014?
reef storm
Yep
cinder vessel
single-player MMO > real MMOs
having dabbled with MMOs i can say that much of the time other players treat each other as hireable NPCs anyway so doesn't make much difference
austere lance
ED has horrifically cringey people that fly around in OP ships EMP-ing new players and messaging them dumb shit like "Empty your cargo hold if you want to live"
fallen notch
Better than those who just shoot them without saying anything...
Supposedly there's a better system now which should address some of that, but no idea how well it works.
austere lance
The wanted system? Lol, I quit before they added it but my friends told me it fucks over new people that accidentally commit crimes more than it fucks over people in OP ships being dick heads
fallen notch
👎
cinder vessel
i am RPing as pirate what ur problem git gud
reef storm
Exactly why I play in a private non-pvp group with friends
austere lance
Why they added solo mode but not offline is beyond me
cinder vessel
because they don't want to program economic sim
reef storm
Because each mode affects the BGS
austere lance
Just have it store everything you've done offline til you switch to online, then it can add whatever points you've gotten for each faction to the online world
Plenty of games do that
fallen notch
That would be abusable.
austere lance
I'm ded, after 5 years they finally thought to add these basic-ass things to the game
https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2019/04/14/elite-dangerous-next-update-wants-to-help-onboard-new-players/
fallen notch
Heh...
austere lance
New ship modules to automate docking
That's called the Docking Computer and has been around for years, smh
fallen notch
But learning how everything works is the most interesting part of the game... Not necessarily a good idea to speed it up.
cinder vessel
this is why i'm content to try & focus more on stuff like rebel galaxy outlaw or the x series, even tho the latter has its own bothersome issues to wade through
full pivot
It automates landing and taking off
reef storm
Advanced docking computer
austere lance
Lol
reef storm
There's also one that'll automate supercruise dropout
full pivot
Also who could imagine a game that is always online even playing solo and doesn't include anything for new players to get better, and allows OP characters to idk... Invade and attack people with no chance
Madness
cinder vessel
If you're referring to what I think you are...Those aren't always online even in solo
austere lance
@reef storm Surprised that didn't exist earlier, I like the idea of it
cinder vessel
Although I'll grant that for many folks that may be the default, but because of dumb console shenanigans I played one of those entirely offline
austere lance
Dark Souls?
cinder vessel
the world will never know~
full pivot
Nah I just realized its pointless so I'm not gonna keep going with another one of these "discussions"
austere lance
What's this "beginner quests" crap in the Beginner Zone, lol. All missions are beginner missions til you level the shit out of that mission's faction, hence it taking forever to make money in the game
reef storm
I don't see anything wrong with a beginner zone
austere lance
I'm fine with the zone, I just don't get how you can possibly make low rank missions any easier. Low rank trade missions are literally "fly here and land"
cinder vessel
does it have protections from getting rekt?
reef storm
I'm willing to bet they tailor those missions for that zone only
austere lance
Beginner Zone doesn't let high ranking people in @cinder vessel
@reef storm How can they teach you to do cargo missions better than "Fly here and land"
reef storm
The only difference will be it's in a safe zone that won't (hopefully) have gankers and dickheads
cinder vessel
incidentally this all reminds me that Doom Eternal is going to have an annoying invasion feature...
reef storm
Wait - Doom's going Dark Souls?
austere lance
LMAO
cinder vessel
that's one of the few new features they announced, yeah...
reef storm
I'd hope it's toggleable
austere lance
I'm ded, people were asking for co-op but they tossed Dark Souls at em instead 😂
cinder vessel
i mean you had coop through SnapMap if you wanted it 👀
which at times could be more interesting than just replaying the same campaign over & over
austere lance
Three words: Team Glory Kills
I wasn't a huge fan of DOOM 2016 but if the new one let you do co-op Glory Kills I'd fuckin cry, lol
bronze wind
If the Doom invasions aren't toggelable I'll happily play offline lol
I don't need randoms to remind me that I'm not the best Doom player alive, and make me feel bad about it in the process
austere lance
Yeah, random people joining my game and fucking my high score sounds heinous. Or sitting there guarding those upgrade robots you need for guns and armor
bronze wind
I only put up with it in Dark Souls cause I liked to summon friends to fuck around lol
cinder vessel
mostly just played those offline
bronze wind
Once my friends stopped playing I did joke invasions
I'd join with no clothes and just run around
If someone was an asshole I had a moonlight greatsword in my second weapon slot and would sneak a backstab
winter yew
3.5 went live for anyone playing SC
cinder vessel
Ummmm, holy shit:
https://square-enix-games.com/en_GB/news/left-alive-update
I did not see this coming
I think this may address some of the parts that were annoying some folks
And also generally tackles issues even people like myself that have been enjoying it couldn't help but notice, like the enemy precision
full pivot
Omg omg I just wanna get home and play more Dreams!!! 
cinder vessel
I've been really enjoying some of the stuff I've seen people making with it!
cinder vessel
I'm just holding off till the full release, personally. Wanna dive in with all the tools polished up!
full pivot
Yeah its the only game ive been looking forward to so I couldnt wait haha
cinder vessel
can't blame ya, i was stoked even with the early preview stuff i saw
well, not even just saw but played
full pivot
Its gonna cut into my ETS2 time tho :P
Those medical supplies arent gonna drive themselves!
cinder vessel
just find a long straight road, pop it into cruise, and dabble with Dreams on the side 😛
full pivot
Ill find a way haha
The actual problem is neither of these are solvable and I wantes to finish 9 games this year at least
full pivot
My friend is trying 9 jrpgs
cinder vessel
RIP
full pivot
Thats what I told him
cinder vessel
especially if three of those happen to be Persona 3, 4 Golden, and 5
wait some brief moments where i lose myself i consider that possible 😵
full pivot
One of them is persona 5 I believe
But he can focus a good amount of time into it only cuz he wont have a PC in Virginia haha
cinder vessel
aaah, that would make that a bit easier, yeah
full pivot
I would never be able to get through 9 jrpgs
I have a bad habit of losing interest 3/4 through usually
cinder vessel
better than me, i have trouble getting past the first third sometimes
although more often than not my issue is not playing the game as they apparently wanted me to, i.e. avoiding enemies, getting to bosses underleveled, and not wanting to go level & face them again
full pivot
I'm usually overleveled for most of the game but I think that its why I get burnt out
cinder vessel
if i wasn't such a stubborn dumbass i probably would be too, but i just don't enjoy many RPGs/JRPGs combat enough to do all that
full pivot
I enjoy it till the inevitable bs boss that makes all the strategy fly out the window
cinder vessel
the funny part is...same? like i'll enjoy a few fights but once i get the rhythm down it's just meh no need to keep doing it...then boss fight where those old rhythms don't work and it's all aaahhh
meager panther
I lose interest mid way most games lol
full pivot
For me its usually the one that is either immune to everything but 1 damage type or inflicts all status effects with each hit
meager panther
I am trying hard to do that last planet on Andromeda .I just can't be arsed to complete that
cinder vessel
for me bs bosses are the type that have those near party-wiping attacks that it seems like there's just nothing you can do to defend well against
full pivot
Or like hey ik your equipment makes you immune to poison but hey my attacks still poison you
cinder vessel
or like they're immune to status effects like that themselves and basically every status effect
full pivot
Anything that makes battle prep irrelevant
I dont mind losing to a boss 1st time and coming back with proper stuff 2nd time
But a non gameplay related thing that often turns me off are difficult boss fights that end in a 2 secons cutscene where the boss kicks my ass anyway hahaha
Its too cheesy
cinder vessel
aah yeah
also the boss fights that don't give you much warning that, ohey you're supposed to get beaten here
full pivot
Because I was so overleveled once I got caught in one of those until I had reduced the boss to 1 hp and realized it wasn't going to die haha. My only reaction...
And then ofc boss character was a pompous asshole after beating me xD
"Beating me"
cinder vessel
bleh, yeah
full pivot
Looking at #nms-photomode-gallery giving me inspiration for landscapes
Mebbe ill make something from Gateway

people overplayed it, burnt out, and now just won't move on

I'm waiting for rumored solo mode.
I got bored of my own team mates cussing me over microphone cause I wasn't talking.
Or hearing them cuss me out cause I landed where they pinged.
cinder vessel
group mute feature needed, lol
meager panther
I am sad that there are no games set in a pre historic game and fun
I don't mean ark
But like a world similar to earth,open world and you can explore it but it was from dino era
You can probably take roles of different Dino's to roam
Or something like that
winter yew
Farcry Primal is probably closest to that.
Can ride mammoths and use them to destroy enemies.
meager panther
I saw some gameplay
Not what I kind of want
I want something more accurate
Like different parts of world having different Dino's or however it was in the jurrasic era
winter yew
Oh I see
cinder vessel
Far Cry Primal World Tour
meager panther
Or eat vegan if you are a herbivore
Yeah something like that
And then a dlc that makes into Flintstones like stuff
winter yew
I always wanted a GTA type game where I could visit different countries.
Just rampage across the world.
meager panther
I kinda got bored of cities lol
Hence why I want to roam around as dinos
Or as Flintstone
Flintstone game would be hilarious

im committing this whole weekend to Dreams; i've even considered calling in sick to play it all day
idle saffron
Nice

Wow
full pivot
Outcast was an open world scifi game way back in the day before it was a thing; idk i read a thing on it once
reef storm
@full pivot Do it.
idle saffron
Are you gonna make stuff?
full pivot
yeah i was playing around with the stuff last night
idle saffron
What's it at right now? Still early access for people?
full pivot
takes a minute to get used to controls; but once i discovered the "guide" options it was way easy
yeah early access
grid snapping and stuff helps since i suck with a DS4 haha
idle saffron
So do you publish the stuff you create?
full pivot
yep you can and it'll still be there in the final game
idle saffron
I meant you specifically
full pivot
obvs people have already made amazing things; i need to ask you how to share screens from PS4
there was a really realistic looking mantis i found
no ive made bullshit so far haha
i haven't had time 😭
idle saffron
Few ways to do it, link to twitter or facebook, usb - or message the screenshot to someone, and download it with the ps4 messaging app
idle saffron
❤
meager panther
How long does it take to say create a elephant and let it roam around in a world
Is that possible

more time than i have

Hmmm

Not this weekend!

You can also change screenshots to png in settings from jpg
meager panther
Rip lol.

I did t know that Ghost, does it make a difference in quality?

It's PS exclusive, iirc

never say never tho
idle saffron

full pivot
bah now i really wanna get back into it but i only have like an hour and a half 😐
rigid haven
I should probably pick it up soon
meager panther
Are there like new environments to at in?
rigid haven
Hopefully it doesn't run out of spaces
meager panther
What's the end goal..just random exploration?
full pivot
if you want an end goal don't play it
meager panther
No just asking
rigid haven
Of Dreams?
meager panther
Oh
full pivot
im just gonna be up front about the whole get outta here with 'whats the end goal' 'what's the point' stuff haha
cinder vessel
make things, play things others make

inb4 working all weekend so i get no time to do anything 
idle saffron
The more I look at it, the more interested I become
Is there already a lot of content?
rigid haven
By users? Yup
full pivot
yeah somehow
full pivot
oh right open beta
idle saffron
Do I need ps+ to download this content?
meager panther
Does the creations have like a rating system? So the good ones come to the top or something
idle saffron
Nice, I think you just made them a sale
idle saffron
Only 30 bucks right now also
meager panther
Nicr
idle saffron
Then when full version hits, you get that
meager panther
I am going to watch some gameplay of it
full pivot
they have a section for "jams" too so thematic stuff and the top 3 picks are shown which are pretty awesome so far
thats where the mantis was
rigid haven
But gameplay is all over since it's a bunch of games
full pivot
haha im not even going for games atm i just wanna create art stuff :3
full pivot
ughhh i need to stop talking about it
meager panther

meager panther
Wow nice
idle saffron
I'm gonna make outcast

What Dino game
idle saffron
Roaming as a dinosaur
Doesn't ark have something for that?
Yep, there is a mod to play as the dinos
meager panther
Ark you roam as a guy on steroids or something
Anyway if possible make a Flintstone game
I will watch you. Play it
willow crypt
where the f is our flinstones game?
or how bout a DAMN MOVIE SEQUEL CMON HOLLYWOOD
is that outcast game any good?
idle saffron
Eh
willow crypt
Gleam, make me and gamer a flinstones game/movie combo
thx
yeah it looks a bit generic
idle saffron
It's not bad or anything, but it feels it's age
austere lance
Well damn, no wonder Arkham City's remaster looks so much better than the original. It's on Unreal Engine 4 instead of 3
willow crypt
Oh nice.
bronze wind
Cool, didn't know they were remastering that
austere lance
@bronze wind They remastered Arkham Asylum and Arkham City a couple years ago
bronze wind
Oh lol I'm super out of the loop apparently
austere lance
Look up Return To Arkham, it's Asylum and City remastered on Unreal 4 with all DLC @bronze wind
cinder vessel
Honestly they didn't exactly heavily market it, as I was wondering about it recently, Zoid
Took me doing a brief little bit of research to be like, "oh wait, they went & did it already"
austere lance
2016, lol
I like the new faces and textures, the amount of detail on Batman's outfit is 😍
And Penguin doesn't look like he has a Coke bottle stuck in his eye anymore 😄
bronze wind
Neat
austere lance
The weird part is I don't think you can buy them separately but they're separate on Game Pass
cinder vessel
o_O
That is weird
But yeah, it's weirder still to me that Return to Arkham was just another remaster released to little to no marketing
Like Onimusha more recently
austere lance
You can get a used Nintendo Switch for $210 or a used Xbox One S for $184 on Amazon rn if you're in the US
Some kind of Earth Week sale on used consoles
cinder vessel
personally not comfortable buying used hardware like that online, even w/ images, but yeah, good deals if you're comfy with that!
austere lance
It's Amazon, just send it back if it doesn't work 😄
cinder vessel
and wait a few days, at that point i'd prefer to buy used in-shop & be able to return same day, lol
at least if any issues arise, which obviously you hope won't
austere lance
Plus they're listed as Like New or Very Good, which Amazon is strict about
cinder vessel
but then shipping happens
austere lance
They cover shipping if you send it back, lol. You contact them and request a refund then they give you a label to print out and slap on it when you send it back
cinder vessel
Nah I've done that sorta thing before, doesn't change the whole wait few days part
But that's the nature of going that route

Amazon throws money around like it's no one's business, they don't care if they have to refund you and pay for shipping. Hell, 99% of the times I've returned stuff they paid me back before they received it 😄
cinder vessel
lol
Honestly for me it's a mix of being picky & impatient, so I just prefer handling that sorta stuff locally if possible
austere lance
It's really fun if you share a Prime account with friends or relatives and get free 2 day shipping on everything, lol
cinder vessel
#1 way to wreck ur Amazon recommendations from ever being close to anything you may be interested in, lol
but also, buying books for school does that too, so
austere lance
Amazon's weird, they have so much money that they don't bother waiting to receive stuff. I've gotten paid back for things I returned within 4 hours 😂
You can have weird separate Amazon accounts that all share somebody's Prime so nobody has to look at each other's orders
cinder vessel
🤔
austere lance
Some big companies are just weird like that, lol. I can set my friend's Xbox as my home Xbox and he'll get access to Gold, Game Pass, and any games I own
Even pre-order bonuses get shared
cinder vessel
Yeah, I know one of my friend's shared PS+ and some games through some weird way like that
But reading up on it just made me go that seems too messy
Wish they'd just let you set up to 2 consoles as home/primary
cinder vessel
On a different note, rest of the Castlevania collection was announced:

because it S U C K S /s
granted i don't know how the gameboy version is
wait
they are, it's just cutoff in that thumbnail, lol
they put it at the very bottom

even official outlets put it at the end, hah

it's just funny to have a gameboy game put in place where simon's quest should logically be
since the other 3 in the top 4 are all NES/SNES ones lmao
cinder vessel
someone has something against Simon 👀

I got AC Unity on XB1, I have grabbed it on Uplay and plan on spending my weekend playing.
meager panther
Is it grindy like the Odyssey?
winter yew
I haven't played Odyssey but yeah probably, it's Assassins Creed.
cinder vessel
RIP
austere lance
@meager panther It's not an RPG like Odyssey, it's a normal Assassins Creed game
Origins and Odyssey are VERY different from the other games
winter yew
Reminds me, I still need to grab Origins from Humble Bundle.
austere lance
@meager panther Not even remotely the same gameplay
meager panther
Nice
reef storm
I didn't find Origins near as grindy. But I also enjoyed the time it was set in
winter yew
I played release version and had a ton of fun.
meager panther
I just got bored of it telling me to go here,get this x100
austere lance
I had no problem with Origin's setting but the characters, combat, and P2W crap annoyed the hell out of me
winter yew
I'm still yet to play
austere lance
Yeah, the last AC I liked was Syndicate and that's because it felt like an old-school AC game. Honestly it's the closest AC to the Ezio trilogy imo
Was a good mix of Ezio-era and new gameplay
winter yew
Black Flag is my favourite.
meager panther
There is no negative penalty if you don't sneak and instead go full on and fight them with your sword/stick.its lame especially for being a assassin
austere lance
@meager panther The new games have zero things to do with the Assassins, lol. If you actually like stealth and, well, being an assassin play the older ones
meager panther
One of the mission was to get a loot item without alerting any gaurds,I did,then it didn't accept it because I didn't kill the gaurds.so I had to go back and kill them
austere lance
Lol
meager panther
I spent a lot of time waiting for night time to sneak in too... Dumb mission lol
austere lance
Now I wanna re-download Syndicate, I spent a solid two weeks having a blast with it
winter yew
Black Flag has a mission where you had to loot a warehouse, the guards were stood right next to me and I just ran and haul assed to the warehouse and passed mission.
austere lance
LMAO
The weirdest thing ever is Syndicate's side missions that take place in WWI, I think that's the closest to modern times AC has ever gotten
meager panther
I was somewhere at level 30
When I got tired of the grind
And got a cheat thing
Then I just completed the missions
I had like 4 missions remaining
cinder vessel
-insert u cheated urself meme-
meager panther
Nah
I got tired of the grind
I was like a gardener going around getting wood lmao
That's not why I wanted to play the game
cinder vessel
but then how will u become a wood assassin?
u must assassinate the plants before you move to animals, and man

Am I one of few who liked Black Flag?
fallen notch
I don't think it's few... I'm in an AC discord, and it seems to be pretty well thought of there.
teal mason
a lotta people liked it for having ship combat
I haven't played it but it's just because I preferred the classic ACs
idle saffron
It's my favorite pirate game
fallen notch
Yeah, it's more "Pirate's Creed"...
teal mason
I mean a franchise's got to change some direction sometimes I suppose
fallen notch
Let's just change it into a fantasy RPG instead...
teal mason
but as time goes on it's like the ship of Theseus
if they change it aspect by aspect and by the 7th game it's completely different than the first one
is it still the same franchise lol
austere lance
I've been playing AC since II and Black Flag is easily one of my favorites
daring spear
I liked Black Flag
I suck at AC games though
teal mason
I played from the first one all the way till revelations
and then unity and syndicate
I bascially played all the ones with the classic formula 
and Brotherhood is still the best classic, fight me over it
hollow river
I played Unity for a good while and didn’t play multiplayer so i didn’t encounter a lot of the issues.
Recently got Origins and play a little bit of it.
Feeling is very different and I agree with the classic>new.
hollow river
I haven't played syndicate, although I hear it's a very good homage to ye olde Ezio games.
teal mason
it's ok, it's got more horse and carriage than I'd like tho
unity's got more roof ropes
winter yew
Lol it’s so fun
meager panther
I am patiently waiting for sq42 lol
😌
Whenever it comes out
I just want a single player experience

slowly making progress; figuring things out
and ofc the specialty the game labelled me with was "art" xD
idle saffron
Having fun?
full pivot
next i gotta try making a tree closer up and then a tunnel like that little one in the first screenshot but more complex
and then maybe i'll try my hand at some creatures
maybe; animation looks complex i may wait until sunday when i have more time
im just sitting here with ideas like

imo its a lot easier to get a hang of than LittleBigPlanet editor because you don't have to undo any LBP mechanics to make stuff

What game is that, MsAethena?

I think Dreams beta

Why must the Halo Insider forums be so ded

@echo hill PC flighting might be delayed
echo hill
noooo
austere lance
The Xbox version of Reach is basically finished, the pc one is giving them trouble tho
austere lance
Apparently it's playable rn but definitely isn't a whole game yet, you can't even change keybinds without launching a separate app. They've gotten to play Slayer on it at least, lol @echo hill
austere lance
They've been having a bunch of old pro players help em test it and the pros keep beating their asses in Slayer 😂 @echo hill
austere lance
As it should be
echo hill
im gunna miss the old menu 😢
austere lance
I wonder if Xbox flights will still be a go this month if pc flights get delayed to next month 🤔
echo hill
oh shit they were supposed to be this month?
austere lance
I WANNA PLAY REACH, DAMMIT
Yeah
They still might be at the end of this month, depends on how slow pc is coming along
austere lance
Probably? They've got Reach and CE being worked on more or less at the same time for pc rn
agile tinsel
Which games ost or all
agile tinsel
Yeah they are all great
austere lance
We're gonna get a dev blog this coming week talking more about how it's coming along
echo hill
wonder if halo 5 will get implemented as well
agile tinsel
They haven't really said how they are doing the armor unlocks for reach right?
austere lance
Probably not, 5 is a huge game and would double the size of the MCC 😄
echo hill
armor customization will stay the same but we arent sure how theyll unlock yet
agile tinsel
Yeah I dont think 5 will be put in
echo hill
maybe 5 as a standalone? 🤷
wouldnt really make sense for it to be the only halo game not on PC
austere lance
Xbox bois get Reach multiplayer for free 
agile tinsel
Nice, that include firefight and/or forge?
agile tinsel
I just hope someone recreates speed halo
Also going to do some much firefight with really random settings
echo hill
or smear the queer
that shit was so fun

@austere lance In your opinion, would becoming an Arbiter be the lowest rank of all or the highest rank of all?
reef storm
IMO, lowest, because an Arbiter is trying to atone for failure
It's a ceremonial and political rank, not military.
austere lance
@agile tinsel Multiplayer will be free, campaign and Firefight will cost extra
echo hill
i agree joe
agile tinsel
Okay cool
austere lance
Also, being Arbiter is a great "honor" but you have no actual rank among Elites (you can't order them around. I think you can boss Grunts and Jackals tho)
agile tinsel
And yeah arbiter was the lowest rank in the covenant age
echo hill
i wanna see silent shadows in a game
austere lance
It's weird, you basically have no military rank but other soldiers treat you with deference cuz you're the Prophets' throwaway sword
austere lance
God I can't wait to play Invasion with dank-ass Elite Ultra armor again
echo hill
yeah true
austere lance
Reach was fuckin brutal, lol
Slayer Pro with no radar was godly for going on assassination sprees
My record was 6 in one match 😄
agile tinsel
Yeah the assassinations could be pretty brutal
austere lance
What happened to these bois having wrist-blades
echo hill
my fav assassination was the one where you jump on their face
austere lance
Ah yes, the Mario hop was great 😂
God I hope they keep the sound design, that gross crunch when you assassinated a Jackal was 🤢

Well if it's the 2016 version

u get more with the older version 👀
austere lance
It's the 2016 one, lol
cinder vessel
nowai
cinder vessel
may be preferable to just wait on the remasters tho
cinder vessel
but where can i buy from u
wait what. this sega genesis classics collection i just got has...PS VR support...?
cinder vessel
yeah, i also realized once i loaded it up, lol
winter yew
yeah thats kinda cool lmao.
cinder vessel
but also i'm bummed it's just some kid's room like on Steam
Namco Museum style collections or get out, lol
winter yew
its like
yo dawg
we put a game in your game so you can game while you game
or whatever that meme
lol
cinder vessel
really tho, playing these on a modern system is cool, but without contextualizing it a little it's just...It depends a ton on an older person that really enjoyed them to get them & show someone younger & try to explain things
bronze wind
I'm pretty sure posting key resellers is against the server rules lol

Omg I feel like a kid I'm so excited to get home and play Dreams

Oof time to 100% Spiderman
agile tinsel
That reminds I have to finish that New game + run one of these days
agile tinsel
Ive heard it can be hard, never played a god of war
echo hill
It's a fantastic game
Seriously recommend it
Same with Horizon Zero Dawn
So fucking good
agile tinsel
I have heard they are really good
full pivot
what you think?
i did the beginner and then skipped to the art one
im teeming to the brim with ideas for my creation
idle saffron
It is slick - the control takes a few minutes to really get the hang of, but it seems pretty amazing so far
I'm looking forward to the animation tutorials
full pivot
they do take a minute to get a hang of; the way they insist on tutorials i think is for a reason haha
they prolly realize that
idle saffron
Yes, and they are well done - good voicework, easy but imparts the lesson they want you to learn
I like the little touches too, like being able to go full screen with it, or move the window wherever you'd like
The thing that fascinated me in the beginning was the cloning options - I like how you can create bridges or whatever with just a few clicks
Then stretch or rotate
full pivot
so in my screen all of the background "trees" are clones
idle saffron
The ones from yesterday? Nice
full pivot
but eventually I'll make a "real" one that the preview is gonna fly through
i was thinking either make a strange light move across view or even add a large limb of some creature come down through the tree-tops
idle saffron
Awesome
full pivot
im a little too tipsy to do it right now tho 😛
idle saffron
I was just going to check it out for a couple minutes last night, ended up playing over an hour
full pivot
ik the feeling
that day i kept whining that i didn't have time before work?
yeah i was almost late cuz of it
idle saffron
Lol
full pivot
i opened it up to "do one thing"
idle saffron
Easy to see why! The tutorials sucked me in! When I actually start doing my own I can't imagine how lost I will get
full pivot
i've gotten very lost and then i go to work and im sitting there thinking of what all i can do next
and i try to recreate it when i get home
full pivot
right now its just a fly-through
but eventually i was thinking a 1st person adventure thing with puzzles or w/e
based on dreams ive actually had
full pivot
well the screen i showed was already based on one
but i was like 8
i used to call it "The Crystal Forest" prolly just cuz of the colour
there weren't any crystals
full pivot
its far from what i need it to be
idle saffron
Not just dinosaurs
full pivot
so during the flythrough i was gonna make a weird centipede thing
but idk if i know how to do that yet
idle saffron
I have no clue yet, but I'll be trying it out today I hope
idle saffron
Mooooreee
I'll be playing a lot today - mowed the lawn for the week, cleaned the house, no visitors expected!

Nonono THIS is the Flintstones gaem
Even got the fuckin theme tune
Wait I just realized that's the silvagunner vid lmfao
austere lance
Yes that's a thing, lol. They can detonate their suit's reactor so Covenant don't get a hold of their tech
Cuz Reach randomly decided to ignore 90% of the book's lore, lol
echo hill
🤷
agile tinsel
I remember reading somewhere that bungie deliberately ignored the books lore so that the new guys would have a cleaner slate
austere lance
Smh
echo hill
Lol yikes
austere lance
Then they made new lore with Noble Team all being Spartan III's (besides Jorge)
Cuz logic
agile tinsel
And them even wearing mjolnir
austere lance
Yeah, that annoyed the hell outta me
meager panther
Is there a Mario kart game for PC?
Oh a Mario kart game is being made for Android
Nice
austere lance
Or Double Dash
Real talk, if Halo Reach for PC has mods y'all better mod Mario Kart stuff into it 😂
Actually, Halo 5 would probably be the best Halo to mod Mario Kart stuff into cuz it has Gungooses
rigid haven
Holy shit good idea
