Jeeeez, I love this game
#other-games
cinder vessel
i've seen that like...everywhere, and my reaction is always just, "okay"
rigid haven
It's the only thing ever to have easter eggs from Minecraft, Splosion Man, Super Meat Bot AND Bit.Trip
and uh
winter yew
i love all the old game references tbh 😛
rigid haven
Sonic, Megaman, Ghostbusters, Back to the Future
winter yew
The game genie
rigid haven
Too many to count
cinder vessel
references 😩
winter yew
also finding the sword and shield was awesome
rigid haven
Maaan, I haven't played in ages
winter yew
its got a silly plot
and the mini-game rampages hidden throughout the map are a great challenge
im also partial the soundtrack because he got three decent chiptune rock artists to make music for the game
Virt, Norrin_Radd, Freaky DNA
Virt has done a lot soundtracks for indie games, some of which you may have heard of . https://virt.bandcamp.com/
rigid haven
Ooo
winter yew
no wait he did a remix of the album
https://dbsoundworks.bandcamp.com/album/crypt-of-the-necrodancer-ost this is who did Necro
damn that's good ❤
Will have to buy that when I have the extra money
rigid haven
Yup, Danny did the original
But a few people remixed it and those were thrown in the game too
You can set soundtracks per-character which is neat
winter yew
thats awesome
winter yew
I have the game on Steam
I should get around to checking it out x)
from a humble bundle i think
rigid haven
You should, it's great
winter yew
lol apparently it's also on vita
yea that looks like a fun game
like something i would've gotten sucked into in the late 90s on pc
they had all those weird dungeon games back then
rigid haven
Oh yeah, they did
Necrodancer is weird
All the enemies have easy patterns, but it gets intense when there are a ton of them and you're forced to make moves with the beat
rigid haven
Shopkeeper is best 👌
austere lance
Holy shit, no wonder Prey has NG+. There's an absolute fuck-load of abilities and perks to unlock!
Oh god, I see ones that let you summon Typhons from dead bodies. Alien necromancer here I come 😂
cinder vessel
well i think the only people that have stuck with it are super familiar w/ it & kind of just wreck anyone new...?
winter yew
Yeah .. just checking..don't wanna pay $30 bucks to keep spawning into death traps
cinder vessel
i may be wrong, to be fair, but i haven't seen a ton of talk of people still playing it and that's the usual story with multiplayer games like that
oh, well, it has far more people still playing than i realized:

MAAAAD
meager panther
Not as terrible as the rusty bucket above tho
winter yew
Hey it's a good rusty bucket.
idle saffron
That's a lovely example of death mobile
meager panther
Thats a bucket that can cause serious infection incase you get scratched
Especially for a world like mad max
winter yew
Well have you seen chumbucket?
meager panther
No
meager panther
Gross
winter yew
Fix the cah
idle saffron
Black thumb extraordinaire
meager panther
Is that who plays in mad max?
winter yew
He hangs on the back of your car and follows you around.
meager panther
Wow i would never want him around
winter yew
He's sidekick I guess.
idle saffron
Yes you would, he has great aim
meager panther
Looks like dobby the elf got a disease
idle saffron
That little hunchback can mess cars up
Plus, he needs a place to live now- his home burnt down
TOO SOON
winter yew
😦
Took me a while to notice why he calls the dog Dinky Di.
Then I noticed the dog food brand as I was eating it.
"Ohhhhhh."
winter yew
Strange fellow
Also, I never worked out if the dude you take tokens to is real or not.
I'm still undecided.
I love the explosions SO much.
idle saffron
Have you beaten the game Hex?
winter yew
Yeah a few times.
meager panther
Kinky
idle saffron
He's real
meager panther
Beating the game
idle saffron
Lol
winter yew
idle saffron
Boooom
winter yew
I mean Mad Max 😛
winter yew
I'm gunna be grabbing Rage 2 for sure, I also only found out last week it releases in May.
I thought it was releasing end of the year. 🤷
idle saffron
GameFly has Mortal Kombat on the way, days gone later this week - and I kept Sekiro to make room for Rage 2
The last time I played mortal Kombat, I got hate mail for beating people with skorpion
And I replied with my age - to make them feel even worse about it
bronze wind
Yee
idle saffron
I'm trying to recreate the boar carrying scene in dreams
It's not going well at all
Like, in any way
winter yew
😦
idle saffron
I wonder if sculpting is easier with the move controllers.. hmmm
winter yew
!!!!!!!!
I missed the Mad Max discussion 😭
@winter yew
Gonna throw some of my screenshots for Hex when he sees the notification ;P
OMG, beautiful 👌
I love Mad Max, so underrated.
winter yew
😄
I'm glad you like
I wanna play it again if I'm being honest.
Think I'm gunna play this weekend.
cinder vessel
oh, frontier
winter yew
Someone leaked a "roadmap" with a ton of Frontier stuff and this was on the list.
meager panther
Coz that game is exactly like this when i played it a year ago
Link pls @winter yew
cinder vessel
I'm beginning to write off frontier's games at this point, not due to their quality, but business decisions
I just noticed planet coaster has denuvo, which probably means this will too
meager panther
I think all AAA games will have it
cinder vessel
which makes them all annoying af
the whole point of the steam compromise was to obviate that trash
without that being respected, there's no longer as much of a point to rely on steam
winter yew
@meager panther - reddit post is gone but it did exist.
Gaming site that did pick it up: https://www.pcgamesn.com/frontier-roadmap-leak-deleted
cinder vessel
fuck the FOMO and just write the games off until they hit GOG, or just play on console because fuck it
winter yew
I just noticed the hilarious typo.
"Planet Dangerous"
`
-Planet Coaster: Ghostbusters DLC
-Jurassic World: New islands, dinos, etc. DLC
-Elite Dangerous: Space legs,
New Projects:
-Planet Zoo: new game based on Planet Coaster
-Jurassic World 2
-Planet Coaster 2
-Jurassic World Survival: Jurassic Park survival game
-Project Macaroni: A new real time strategy game
`
meager panther
Wow three Jurassic world games being worked on
😩
Finally
Well one is released and apparently its a failure
So JWE2 and a survival game based on Jurassic world
Finally
Nice
meager panther
I will get both the JW games
Whenever it releases
🤷
Also project macaroni
Rename it to project pasta and it will be a success
meager panther
Project macaroni sounds like the villain from that Jurassic world movie lol
Well he is not a villian
But still lol
winter yew
If they release a pasta simulation game with controls similar to Octodad, I'd buy it tbh.
meager panther
Yeah that should be called land legs then
winter yew
Honestly, that's a pretty fair point.
cinder vessel
but what if you can also now do spacewalks
winter yew
omg yes
meager panther
When in reality it allos you to finally walk on planets
winter yew
X4 nailed the spacewalks.
cinder vessel
splanded legs?
winter yew
They're trying for planetary biomes too.
Atmospheric landings etc.
Well, so says rumors from waaaay back.
winter yew
I've done around 90 hours playtime.
cinder vessel
tbh i'd just stick with space engine
winter yew
cinder vessel
that's a game
does it come out in 2020
lol with that intro i expected a narrative game
winter yew
hmmm
cinder vessel
winter yew
I really wish they would bring Starlink to PC.
cinder vessel
For some more details:
https://starlink.ubisoft.com/game/en-us/news-videos/347994/the-crimson-moon-appears-
Tbh at this point it wouldn't hurt
Although they'd need to make sure they removed the StarFox content thoroughly, otherwise you know people would work on enabling access to it and that would probably upset Nintendo
Oh wait what:
https://starlink.ubisoft.com/game/en-gb/news-videos/348652/starlink-battle-for-atlas-comes-to-pc
cinder vessel
talk about a sneak announcement, this was courtesy of the Starlink Discord folks catching it
cinder vessel
Just fyi, keep an eye out for how they're selling it tho
winter yew
Oh?
cinder vessel
If they sell a starter pack thing, don't go for that
Go for whichever nets you all the ships, weapons, & pilots or at least the initial batch
winter yew
It wasn’t on pc before?
winter yew
How awesome
cinder vessel
They were really gunning for their toys to life model working & that didn't do well enough
cinder vessel
But yeah, definitely give it a look, just don't get played by Ubi's marketing
meager panther
What do you do ib the game?
cinder vessel
Dogfight, build up a resistance to an evil force, scan animals & do odd jobs along the way
winter yew
Yeah the toy fad kinda died with sky landers and ammibo
meager panther
Hmmm
winter yew
@meager panther

cinder vessel
In some ways, except for on-foot exploration, & more custom basebuilding, it sorta addresses some NMS fans' desires
meager panther
Looks cool
cinder vessel
Like you can snap together custom ships from different ship pieces, and with Crimson Moon you'll even be able to repaint the ships
bronze wind
The entire selling point of nms for me was the on foot stuff, so it doesn't really appeal to me without that lol
The customization is cool though
meager panther
If its always on ship only
.thats a bit iffy
Like i totally like the planets i see
The art style is great
brisk merlin
Didnt know you where a Radiohead fan
brisk merlin
Zoidad
brisk merlin
You said the selling point of nms was the "foot stuff"
cinder vessel
i'm still confused, lol
but honestly if you like planet exploration it's still p. good for that
easily some of the best scifi space game planet exploration that isn't ded planets
bronze wind
Nah I like walking around
cinder vessel
it's kind of funny because they sorta have to scale things up a little so it's on par or as appealing as it would be on-foot, lol
really tho i don't know of any other games like this atm
cinder vessel
The paint stuff or the parts stuff?
Paint stuff is new & hopefully won't be a nasty grindfest thing, but nobody knows yet
Parts stuff is iffier, if you just up & get deluxe edition (or however they're handling it on PC) you can nab all the ships & weapons w/o buying each individually in a weird pseudo-mtx style
bronze wind
meh idk then
I'd rather them be locked and rewarded during gameplay
unless that's the case and you can only unlock them if you've purchased them
cinder vessel
yeah no, i absolutely agree on that, unfortunately that's not how they do it. Instead they have this whole ship/weapon mods system where you can customize how effectively you use the different parts
i think if they hadn't gone with the toys to life approach they probably would have done a more typical unlock system, sadly just not the case
in some ways i don't mind too much tho, as it means i don't have to do whatever Ubi-grind they may have come up with to get them, but then they've just offset that to mods so it's not much of a win
rigid haven
insect glaive best
Although I respect everyone's choices of weaponry
even if they're clearly inferior
cinder vessel
fingernails are a legitimate weapon of choice
austere lance
Tf is an insect glaive
I just killed a great jaga with a katana
I switched to playing Prey
cinder vessel
wow rood
austere lance
Wtf even is the helmet you use in space in Prey, lol. It's all geometric and weird
cinder vessel
anyone here play battletech?
on a different but similar-ish note, GOG's having an indie game sale:
https://www.gog.com/promo/indie_week
overwatch finally lets you make your fanfic within the game /s:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naPxnU2-4no
rigid haven
nice
austere lance
I can now turn into a trashcan in Prey, my dream of cosplaying as @meager panther is complete xD
full pivot
That's so aggressive dude
austere lance
Thanos knows I love him, lol
hollow acorn
I love Skyrim, but Bethesda is making me hate everything they are associated with.
Am I the only one that thinks they're going downhill?
cinder vessel
where were you a month or two ago, lol
a general wariness has been spreading since fallout 76, and for those paying attention to mobile, elder scrolls blades hasn't been very reassuring either
hollow acorn
secret p2w scheme for fallout 76 and the obvious p2w scheme for blades
saw it
idk what the hell they are thinking man
austere lance
Good lord some of these Typhon fucks are OP
full pivot
Going downhill isnt how id put it since I already thought they were going downhill with Skyrim haha
winter yew
That vid gave me chills. And it makes me so happy to have supported that game and community.
vestal raptor
What the Frost is Fade to Silence? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbmHGglpYcU
winter yew
Wow, that actually looks worth playing.
winter yew
Hahaha
idle saffron
Does look interesting though
winter yew
https://store.steampowered.com/app/706020/Fade_to_Silence/ - Been in Early Access since 2017 apparently.
I've not even heard of it 🤷
idle saffron
The last time I saw it, it didn't mention names - or the daughter
Pretty sure it was pc only also
idle saffron
Woot
winter yew
That game, Rage 2 and Starlink: Battle For Atlas.
idle saffron
I almost picked up starlink with the spring sale - 24 bucks, deluxe version
idle saffron
Nice
winter yew
Completely unrelated, I got a very keen eye on an indie game called Spacebourne.
I'm following progress very regular.
idle saffron
Very cool
winter yew
Just one guy though.
So development isn't super quick but he is updating regular.
That sounded so contradicting.
bronze wind
Reminds me a bit of Rodina
Maybe not the game play as much but the one developer neat little space game thing
winter yew
I enjoy Rodina.
I once found some little hoverbike type thing but never managed to find them again.
bronze wind
I played a demo a few years ago when I was waiting for nms
winter yew
I picked it up for maybe £5
bronze wind
Yeah it's a cheap boi
bronze wind
Seems pretty laid back in Dev updates on steam too
winter yew
I think I see he's working on a story mode, I'm quite looking forward to that.
bronze wind
Yeah I remember seeing a bit of something about that
winter yew
No lie though, I have to play with enemy difficulty on easy.
bronze wind
I should pick it up again and see what's new
stark palm
the ship in the newspaper in that video looks like the ship from District 9
austere lance
Big oof, the reviews for Days Gone are out 😬
brisk merlin
6/10
brisk merlin
expected that
austere lance
I haven't seen a game get "generic and boring" thrown at it this much in awhile, lol
bronze wind
There are others over that lol
But yeah ign gave 6/10
It's another zombie game so I wasn't expecting rave reviews tbh
austere lance
I haven't even found IGN's review, just all the ones by Gamespot/The Verge/etc
bronze wind
There's a whole Reddit megathread for it
It ranges from 8/9 out of 10 down to like 1.5 out of 5
I'll just watch some gameplay if I ever feel like buying another zombie game
But by that point I'll probably get dying light 2
austere lance
In a lot of ways, Days Gone reminds me of the original Watch Dogs. Both star a terminally unlikable character and offer players a huge, open playground full of incredibly dull things to do. Days Gone has the skeleton of a good game, but the rest is so forgettable that it ultimately feels like a tragic waste of resources. Not exactly bad, just boring.
bronze wind
Maybe the content updates will help out. I read they have one soon, maybe June or something
winter yew
Ooof
austere lance
Basically what I expected tbh
willow crypt
Bleh those types of games are a waste of time
cinder vessel
but guys, they're freakers not zombies /s
winter yew
Oh.
willow crypt
Oh
cinder vessel
okay but if you could hack the zombies that would be much cooler
bronze wind
More like
willow crypt
Watch dogs looks like the most uninteresting game imaginable to me
bronze wind
zombies
No thanks
Unless it's dying light 2
Dying light is like the only zombie game I've enjoyed playing
winter yew
I love Dying Light.
cinder vessel
and even that's banking a lot on the new writer, at least imo
bronze wind
If they keep the same feel plus all of the new stuff mentioned, I'll love it
I didnt care so much about the story anyway
cinder vessel
but i never got into the first, having never picked it up
winter yew
First one was nice, was only one mission that I hated.
A ton of accidental jump scares.
cinder vessel
i knew from what i read the gameplay probably wouldn't carry me
austere lance
Watch Dogs was dry af, following its "boring af open world with an unlikeable main character and godawful stealth missions" game design is a bad idea whether it's a zombie apocalypse game or not
winter yew
I rarely venture outside at night time in Dying Light.
cinder vessel
and without a story to make up for that, the whole thing probably wouldn't keep me going
winter yew
The night time zombies on DL are insane.
cinder vessel
I loved the basic premise of Watch Dogs, but 1 was such a bad first attempt
austere lance
I tried liking Dying Light but I really didn't need Dead Island with parkour in my life, lol
winter yew
1 was bad tbh
cinder vessel
The gameplay was almost there but the story was such a drag
austere lance
I never finished Watch Dogs, I quit after like 3 hours
winter yew
I finished both.
bronze wind
Hex, did you play the following expansion in DL?
austere lance
I'm semi-interested in 2 cuz it's supposedly better
winter yew
Yes Zoid.
austere lance
I'm stuck with some super fancy Enhanced Edition of Dying Light that I don't want, lol
winter yew
Watch Dogs 3 is supposedly set in London, that's gunna be real interesting to see how that works out.
bronze wind
Being outdoors at night is 😩 oh god oh fuck
winter yew
Lmao
Dude, when the watch alarm beeps I just run for the safehouse closest to me.
"Nope"
austere lance
Cuz Microsoft won't refund me even tho I've only played for an hour and 5 minutes
cinder vessel
I wish Watch Dogs had gone for fictional near future cities structured more heavily around the idea of a network integrated city, rather than old cities augmented by the networks
bronze wind
I liked the concept of watch dogs, even the modern city sort of setting, it just didn't seem to be what I expected based on what I saw
winter yew
TBH, San Francisco is tech hub of the world so that location does make sense.
London has most surveillance cameras globally, so that to does make sense.
cinder vessel
yeah for sure, but it also limits their creativity in some respects
they can't just invent points of interest as much, gotta feature some of the notables
bronze wind
I guess, if the premise was hackers in a modern city then that's just how the game is designed.
It sounds more like you just don't like that setting, rather than it limiting them
That being said I do think they could've been more creative even with that settinf
cinder vessel
it's obviously very near future, i'd just be more interested in seeing that pushed ahead a little further into the future and with totally original cities
winter yew
Ah I see what you're saying.
austere lance
Hmm, forgot there's a free trial for Watch Dogs 2 on Xbox. I'll try that once I get my One S with more space
cinder vessel
and yeah, it's a mix of not liking the setting but also preferring original locations even more generally
bronze wind
In a way horizon zero Dawn is a better hacking futuristic game lmao
cinder vessel
tbh it's as much in how Ubisoft approaches those settings as it is the settings themselves. Like Deus Ex uses some real locations and then just goes kinda crazy with them
lol kinda yeah
austere lance
If they're gonna keep making the games in modern times they should push for doing em in China or Japan, somewhere full of tech companies and really crowded
bronze wind
Deus ex games are great
cinder vessel
Horizon is certainly more creative
austere lance
I want a third Deus Ex 😢
Unfortunately Cyberpunk probably killed any hopes of that
austere lance
How
austere lance
Cyberpunk is literally just Deus Ex on steroids, there'll be nothing left for DE to do after it comes out
bronze wind
It could also be shit, or not play the same.
austere lance
I know there's more than 2, lol. The original games came out in the 90's
bronze wind
They're different games and different worlds
If you wanna stop playing Deus ex cause cyberpunk comes out that's cool, but it doesn't mean they'll just stop making the games lol
Competition isn't a bad thing
cinder vessel
lmao @austere lance thinking a single game named Cyberpunk will take up all the conceptual space of a subgenre has to be the silliest thing I've seen from you yet
not to be rude, that's just a what statement
bronze wind
It's like saying "why make fantasy games after Witcher 3"
cinder vessel
p. much
meager panther
LMAO
winter yew
Geralt good
meager panther
Idk who geralt is but i see he is popular in memes
bronze wind
Main character of the Witcher games
cinder vessel
pack it up bois, Star Citizen's got space games figured out
winter yew
Oh but but but 😦
bronze wind
I don't wanna be an ass about it, I just don't agree at all
winter yew
Just please keep it civil guys.
bronze wind
Cyberpunk also isn't even out yet so making grand statements like that isn't super fair imo
cinder vessel
one game to rule them all
austere lance
It literally just looked like Deus Ex on steroids, it even has the gangs of Harvesters running around chopping people up for parts. Both are full of choices and revolve around you replacing your parts and upgrading your augs cybernetic shit. It's even full of hacking and crap
winter yew
I can't wait to play Cyberpunk.
bronze wind
Sure, it looks good, but I still have that spot in my heart for Deus ex
winter yew
^
cinder vessel
those are honestly just general aspects of the broader cyberpunk genre tho
meager panther
Just make each gane have a portal so that you can seem less ly transistion between the game worlds
cinder vessel
ever since Neuromancer & such
winter yew
My dream game was a GTA styled game where you could travel around the world.
winter yew
Australia
cinder vessel
is it in Watch Dogs 2
meager panther
I think its in africa
cinder vessel
because maybe @meager panther really just wants to pet dogs in Watch Dogs 2 near the bay
cinder vessel
are you sure
meager panther
Well anyway my pee break is over. Bye lol
winter yew
Bye
austere lance
-First-person RPG that revolves around you replacing your bodyparts with augments
-Plenty of choices and characters
-Large fancy neon-filled city
-Lots of hacking mini-games
-Harvester gangs running around hacking people up for their augs
-Gruff main character
-Fancy augments that let you see through walls/hack from a distance/etc
winter yew
Yes.
cinder vessel
prey is that u
winter yew
But that's like comparing GTA with Saints Row.
austere lance
The entire time I was watching the Cyberpunk gameplay I was just thinking "This is Deus Ex with extra steps"
brisk merlin
and it probably runs a lot better than the new Deus Ex
austere lance
True, lol
brisk merlin
I couldnt run it for the love of me
austere lance
Honestly the only difference I saw was the shooting was better, you had more choices, and for some reason you got to watch yourself get new augs put in you in first-person. And you can drive
winter yew
And it's "true" open world.
austere lance
You even have arm-blades, lol
winter yew
They also said what we saw is a lot different to what it is now.
New trailer assumed in June.
cinder vessel
tbh i feel like they kinda rushed the last Deus Ex from everything i read about it
winter yew
The last Deus Ex absolutely was rushed.
austere lance
Tho hopefully Cyberpunk doesn't do the stupid mini-cutscenes every time you do a takedown
winter yew
I "extended demo'd" it and still felt robbed.
austere lance
I love Deus Ex but good lord I hate those
cinder vessel
how did you feel about the less predictable ones in Skyrim, lol
austere lance
If that shit's in DE 3 I'm out, lol
cinder vessel
now those were annoying af
austere lance
You can at least turn those off in Skyrim
Or lower the amount of times they happen, if you're weird and still want them sometimes
I like how Adam Jenson's VA is in Deus Ex and Far Cry Primal 😄
winter yew
Oh Far Cry Primal.
I really enjoyed that game then about 12 hours in it just stopped being fun.
Like the game didn't know what to do next.
If that makes sense
winter yew
Hahaha
cinder vessel
pls we're tired
winter yew
They got the scale of the mammoths pretty nice, crouched down next to one and looking up at it was kinda intimidating.
cinder vessel
in VR
winter yew
😩
austere lance
Can I just say that the premise of MH World is funny af, lol? "Join this merry society of people with giant-ass over-complicated weapons who beat the shit out of dinosaurs! Have fun making new ridiculous weapons out of dino body parts!"
I picked the katana cuz it's apparently a good combo weapon and it turned out to be at least 8 feet long xD
winter yew
Hahaha when worded like that.
austere lance
I was like "Cool, katana should be nice and basic with a little bit of range."
Then I took it to the training yard and saw that it was twice my size
This switch axe thing is fun
Not entirely sure why I have to reload it
When I'm slapping a dino with an axe-sword the last thing I expect to pop up on-screen is a reload prompt
rigid haven
I use insect glaive because it's clearly the best weapon
winter yew
lol
rigid haven
not just a long sword on a stick, but also a bug
winter yew
it has it's advantages yea
rigid haven
a bug that sucks monster juice and feeds it to you like a mama bird
winter yew
lmao.
Switch Axe deals massive damage, thats why you have to stop and 'recharge' it once in awhile
rigid haven
I would but I'd be at a clear advantage
I tried the longsword but I can't suss it out
rigid haven
Well yeah but like
I threw myself into the air one time and I don't know how to do it again
iron inlet
and then occasionally hit "Running Stab" to get Spirit Helm Breaker
you have to do the running stab
and then you can get the Spirit Helm Breaker
rigid haven
How often does it
Ohhh
I should try it again
Since most people I talk to have two weapon mains
iron inlet
I either run Longsword or Dual Blades
iron inlet
Fun fact about Jiiva
I got DC'd during the cutscene, so I thought it was a mechanic that you couldn't fire an SOS flare
and I thought you had to solo Jiiva
so I did
winter yew
Lol
rigid haven
Same, but like I said
winter yew
I solo’d that thing with a light bowgun
rigid haven
EZ
winter yew
What a pain in the ass that was
iron inlet
He has such a predictable moveset once you learn it
winter yew
Yeah
iron inlet
but then so does every monster
rigid haven
Stand under him
winter yew
I was so damn pleased when I started to learn Nergy
iron inlet
worst monster imo is still Lunastra
winter yew
Yes
rigid haven
I wanna fight a Luna but I still can't take on Teo reliably
iron inlet
Nah man he blows
winter yew
I struggled with him a bit yea
iron inlet
It took me so long to kill him
Because he permanently reduces your health
if you run out of nulberries it's like 
rigid haven
It was my shortest elder dragon kill, around 10 minutes or so the first time
winter yew
Yikes
iron inlet
Nah Vaal fucked me all the ways for the longest time
Kushala is ez clap
Kushala is Flash Pod: The Game
winter yew
lmao
iron inlet
Kushala: flies
Hunter: "Fuck u"
rigid haven
KUSHALA TOOK ME 49 MINUTES 57 SECONDS
iron inlet
yikers
iron inlet
lmao
winter yew
Rip
iron inlet
Longsword fucks Kushala
you just stand in her gut and blind her
stabby stabby jumpy slashy stabby
Probably why Vaal was easier for you Woop, you didn't have to be on the ground
as a Longsword user, Vaal is cancerous
rigid haven
I suppose I should start bringing flash pods to more than just Behemoth attempts
iron inlet
because the second you get close and get one combo off you're dead
winter yew
I remember the first time I took on the two Bagelgeese
iron inlet
Dude that fucked me infinitely
winter yew
That fight blows lol
rigid haven
I just got that mission and I'm too afraid to do it
winter yew
I ended up running around and letting them fight each other and took potshots at them when I had flash pods
rigid haven
I don't even know what a regular tempered monster is 
iron inlet
Bagelgoose is the worst monster
winter yew
He always has to join the party
iron inlet
Noone:
Bagelgoose: "WATCH OUT BELOW"
winter yew
If he’s on the map you can guarantee he’ll scream HAY YOU GUYZ
iron inlet
I stopped playing just when Pickle released
winter yew
and his roar is so damn loud
iron inlet
the worst is when Bagel flies through Odo's pathing
winter yew
But he has a cool theme
iron inlet
you're having fun slapping Odo to the ground and then suddenly Bagel
rigid haven
I learned to love Odo while I was farming him
cinder vessel
BAGEL
winter yew
rigid haven
Yeah bagel
iron inlet
Odo is such a weird fight

This is where you can see him better and hear his roar
My favorite bit is seeing that quick shadow of him flying over
Then WOAARRR!!

I usually see his egg thingies and then freak out

Those pods can be pretty dangerous because he’ll try to divebomb them to detonate them
And focus on his head and legs and tail if possible

You know
I like Dreams and all but some of these games are starting to look a little similar
I keep seeing this weird fluffy texture everywhere
austere lance
I don't get this Dreams thing, it sounds like a less-shitty Project Spark

Imagine LBP but instead of a level editor it's a game dev kit

@winter yew Damn
Apparently Linkin Park had a music video made with Project Spark, lol

If you are getting Days gone for the plot or dialogue, prepare for disappointment
Get it for the hordes
austere lance
@meager panther Microsoft's sad attempt at making a game creator like Dreams
austere lance
Nobody bought it because you had to buy 5000 DLC's to actually use any building tools
idle saffron
They changed that
winter yew
The argument was so people could purchase the tools they need/want instead of being given a ton of tools they'd never use.
idle saffron
Just FYI
idle saffron
September 2015 Microsoft announced that the game would transition to a new "free and open creation" model by which all downloadable content would become free for both new and existing players starting from October 5, 2015. As part of the transition players who paid for such content after at most one month before the announcement were eligible for a refund based on what they had paid
winter yew
Huh and it still failed? Ouch.
winter yew
I made a shitty RPG in it.
idle saffron
Not unlucky, woefully misjudged the interest of Xbox users
Dreams is gonna have the same problem imo
austere lance
It was on Windows too
winter yew
The issue with games like this is the available resources, for it to not get boring there needs to be a constant and consistent flow of new resources.
idle saffron
Dreams won't have it I don't think - it isn't easy to make good looking things
You can slap any old thing together easily enough
But to make quality takes real skill and time
austere lance
RIP, Microsoft added a bunch of new resources when they removed all the paid DLC but the game still died
idle saffron
Reception was good, interest was not
meager panther
I think the problem is content needs to be good
People get games to play
Not to make more games
I don't think 90% of stuff created will be even good
austere lance
I mean, the point of the game was to be a game-building engine accessible to casual gamers
idle saffron
Dreams stuff isn't right now - although early access still of course
Yeah, but how many people spend time doing that?
It's a niche market
full pivot
i think it was made with a specific audience in mind; the kind of people that made amazing things on LBP2
and i don't think that making something for creative people is a bad idea just because most people lack creativity or refuse to explore it
Dreams is exactly what it was designed to be; and that alone is a lot different than a lot of games coming out lately haha
stark palm
think ultimately that's why they killed Landmark. was great for people that wanted to be creative, but i guess they got afraid there'd be no larger market for it
full pivot
somehow i think if they had that to worry about they would have known it already after LBP2
stark palm
what they should have done was gone on with EQ Next development and let Landmark people make content for EQ Next, like it was supposed to be originally
full pivot
i dont really care about Landmark I was talking about Dreams specifically
stark palm
same general problem though. the kinds of people that were interested in Landmark are probably the same kind of people interested in Dreams, it's a very small part of the overall community.
idle saffron
I think Dreams is terrific, just not sure how many people will ever realize that
full pivot
no comparing one game to the other isn't really that valid tbh
even if they have the same concept
some devs can make a thing work and some can't
stark palm
granted i'm not especially familiar with Dreams, but the little bit i saw seemed like it was aimed at very young kids
full pivot
idle saffron
Umm, no
stark palm
i think that's a mistake, because the people who are likely to be interested in what it has to offer is likely the same people interested in Landmark. that was my earlier point. they are just shaving down the potential pool to an even smaller group
full pivot
its a pointless discussion
we'll have this one and then a few weeks from now everyone will be bitching that there's no innovation or original ideas in gaming
and rinse and repeat
i'll just enjoy my creativity and i've never really cared if my stuff is popular because popular stuff usually sucks
austere lance
Too bad Project Spark didn't get a chance after they removed all the DLC from it, smh

I have officially gotten over the weird difficulty hump in Prey and now I can slaughter annoying aliens like there's no tomorrow, lol

so, a bit ago i picked up a stupid hard to find game called Disaster Report without the case or manual because stupid hard to find.
and of course today i find another copy with it all, case, manual, & disc...even cheaper than i got the disc alone (because this shop doesn't base prices roughly on what the game's going for online, or at least not always)
austere lance
I like the ammo displays on the guns in this game
willow crypt
Sick shotgun
austere lance
The space suits are cool too
cinder vessel
picked up MechAssault 1 & 2 and Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow today
Was surprised to come across the latter tbh
austere lance
Hijacking mechs with the little exosuit in MechAssault 2 was fun af, lol
cinder vessel
I should dig up an old xbox manual and see if anyone's silly enough to have kept their original xbox and is up for system linking in 2019, lmao
because i'm preeetttyyy sure even with backwards compatibility on the 360 you can't play MechAssault 2 online, lol
austere lance
I'd kill for it to be bc for Xbone
cinder vessel
i'm betting because it's tied up with battletech stuff trying to sort out agreements is a major headache
austere lance
Tru
RIP my dreams of getting Oddworld: Munch's Odyssey or Stranger's Wrath on Xbone
I don't even care if they're the HD ports Playstation has, I just wanna play em again 😢
cinder vessel
i mean, if you want to play those again, at least you could get even a mid-range PC and probably play them without too much trouble
winter yew
I would literally squeal if either Mechassault games came to pc
That being said I am hyped for Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries
stark palm
yeah mechwarrior 5 is looking pretty sweet
winter yew
I played a lot of MW4 mercenaries
stark palm
i'm hoping they tweak it a bit so mechs dont crash through buildings so easily
but other than that the gameplay they've shown looks really good
winter yew
This was my first Battletech game ever https://youtu.be/CgJq2zZ2UbI
Lmao that guy reviewing sounds dead inside
stark palm
crescent hawks revenge was the first table top style battletech game i played, but i had already played the original mechwarrior before that.
winter yew
Ahh
stark palm
i still got that theme stuck in my head
stark palm
i played the actual table game quite a lot in the late 80's and early 90's
winter yew
I was born in 1985 so most of that was before my time
I played Crescent Hawks Inception sometime in the early 90s because my mom got a deal on a windows 3.1 computer at a yard sale
Also played a good bit of those adventure games that Sierra released back then
stark palm
i had the succession wars which was a game kind of like risk or axis allies but set in the battletech universe, and we used that as like a campaign map and would fight the individual battles with the miniatures
winter yew
And a ton of the first Sim City
cinder vessel
so what about the battletech game by harebrained that came out recently
winter yew
Also played a lot of this XD
It had no mouse controls either, it was all keyboard
I found out that game is on steam too
stark palm
i've heard the new battletech game for computer is great. best one ever made. haven't had the money to play it
lots of youtube videos on it though, and it looks awesome
cinder vessel
i saw some mixed talk about it that made me kinda wonder
stark palm
all the gameplay i've seen looked really good. what's wrong with it?
full pivot
I have it I might check it out later; I had a feeling the criticisms were not gameplay based
stark palm
they didn't like the story?
havn't seen much of the story, most videos focus on the battles
chilly plover
Everything I've heard from tabletop fans has been good. Most of the negative seems to be people that don't realize it was a tabletop game first.
stark palm
ah, yeah. in the videos it definitely looks like they tried very hard to retain that table top feel, which is probably why it looks so good to me. Mechwarrior games are awesome, but that's not Battletech, that's Mechwarrior. same universe, completely different kind of game. Battletech is more like the ultimate sci fi chess game.
imagine chess where each piece has a character sheet and you have to roll dice to determine hits and damage instead of everything having one-shot kills. and it's played on a hex map instead of a square grid, that's Battletech. Mechwarrior was born from people trying to imagine what it must be like to pilot one of these super war machines.
well, you could play it on an ungridded table but then you had to use tape measures and strings and templates to determine how everything moves and shoots etc... was a LOT of work.

idle saffron
Ya
teal mason
I liked when the zombie swarms you
and the motor bike
which are basically the two focus of the game?
so it's probably a half decent game
idle saffron
There are people complaining about the plot, and all I can think is : why would you ever think the plot would be good?
I want to shoot and explode lots of zombies, and it looks like it delivers on that
idle saffron
It's tempting as well, but isn't that the multiplayer only?
winter yew
Nah solo is AI bots as team mates.
idle saffron
Sweet
teal mason
I think the 3rd person makes it feel less hectic tho
teal mason
it's not as "holyshitimgonnadie" as L4D
teal mason
yeah you need to be good to have fun as monster
but if you ain't having fun when you're bad it can be hard to keep playing
idle saffron
Have you tried the Friday the 13th game?
It was another disappointment, but did have its moments as Jason
I have zero interest in hiding from him though, or trying other things - I want to only play as him - the single player bot addition was pretty nice
So many bugs though
austere lance
Idk how I managed to avoid spoilers to Prey's ending for 3 years but I tried to Google something about the Typhons last night and had a giant spoiler for the ending right at the top of the search page, smh
teal mason
it's been 3 years
spoilers' only bad when they slow you down
I only watched the Friday 13th game
feel like a more focused Dead by Daylight tho
idle saffron
Some of the executions were pretty brutal
idle saffron
One of the things I didn't like about the online part (besides not always being Jason lol) is that you had to sit through the whole match, even if you died as a counselor- or no xp
Took like 10 minutes usually to even get one started, then 15 or so for the match - not a good investment of time for the amount of fun
cinder vessel
one of the articles i read about Days Gone suggested you spend a lot more time fighting normal people than zombies, so that makes me kinda go hrm about it
idle saffron
I read that, sounds like someone who didn't explore anything to me - but I'll withhold judgement until I play it myself
From the trailers and gameplay, I assumed humans play a large role
cinder vessel
Not sure if bugged, but given that some of the waypoints sounded like they either led to literally nothing or firefights with humans, hard to blame'em for not going out of their way too often, lol
In games like this, a good amount of the time if it's not tagged on the map, there's basically nothing there to find besides scenery
cinder vessel
But yeah, I'll maybe catch it on sale sometime or something if I do get it at all
idle saffron
That said, I'm not going into expecting a game of the year or anything - I'm approaching it like I do old Kung fu flicks
Crap story and dialogue are expected
Games like this are the reason I use GameFly
cinder vessel
tbh i could possibly find it in a Redbox if i were to check
idle saffron
I wonder if Dead Rising will try another game
The horde mechanic could be a ton of fun with the crazy weapons you build
cinder vessel
btw, some decent deals going in this sale:

winter yew
When did Gravity Rush 2 happen?
I played first on PS Vita and loved every minute of it.
idle saffron
I grabbed Hoirzon Zero Dawn deluxe (or gold or w.e) and God of War deluxe for 40 bucks
And then realized I didn't transfer any data from my original ps4 except for NMS
😢
winter yew
Ouch
winter yew
I'm about to hit the button for Fade To Silence.
I can't stop watching game play videos since that dude posted it here yesterday.
brisk merlin
I loved gravity rush on psvita
winter yew
Really was a fun game.
winter yew
I played the first one expecting nothing amazing.
I didn't put it down until I completed it.
I've literally just shot a text to my youngest brother asking if I can borrow his broken PS4 so I can play Gravity Rush 2 and Days Gone.
If not, I'll just go buy one I guess.
brisk merlin
Sorry for your loss
austere lance
Fml, I'm trying to survive to the ending of this damn game so I can start NG+ and have a "fuck around and be OP" playthrough. Rn I have zero materials to make anything useful from, I'm low on ammo, and every part of the station I've been to previously is full of OP Typhons
And I'm down to one medkit

Who would win, the Flood from Halo or the Typhon from Prey
austere lance
Have you played Prey?
Typhon replicate by killing people (sound familiar) and can make badass forms out of dead bodies
echo hill
yeah but do they have spores??
austere lance
No? They can mind-control people tho
Don't need spores when you can mind control people into getting eaten
echo hill
oh damn okay
austere lance
And they come in way more (and cooler) forms. Plus you literally can't hurt some of them with small arms fire unless you have Nullifier grenades or psychic abilities like them
Did I mention the part where they have fucked biology and some of them are irradiated (Flood won't infect radiated things)
idle saffron
Yes

Do you like space games?
placid lava
haha well this is the nms discord
austere lance
It's pretty slow, ngl
austere lance
Though the new update should be nice for beginners
placid lava
yeah i do
idle saffron
It does have a steep learning curve
But the flight controls are the best of the best imo
placid lava
it does look complex
idle saffron
It seems harder than it is
austere lance
Kinda? I think the new low-level area and stuff like the new auto-dock and intro missions help with that @idle saffron
idle saffron
Didn't know about those
Well, the autodock I did
It is so much more satisfying landing yourself though
austere lance
They added beginner missions, a low-level part of the map that high level people can't enter, and auto-warping
austere lance
Don't get it without Horizons, half the content is locked behind it

austere lance
@placid lava Seriously, you'll need Horizons
fallen notch
Yeah, half the game is in a DLC that costs more than the actual game.
chilly plover
if you're getting space truck simulator, you want the expansion. it brings it from next to nothing to do, up to barely anything to do
teal mason
LMFAO
I mean some people do fucking love doing the same thing over and over
in fact that's what most people do every single weekday 
chilly plover
i note that you're not disagreeing with my fair and accurate assessment :P
idle saffron
Guys haven't played in a while, eh?
Lots more to do than just trade, you got planet bases, engineers, aliens, factions, outstanding combat, passenger missions, and can just jet about in the black, exploring systems
Plus misc missions and quests from the various stations and factions
Also MORTAL KOMBAT
stark palm
was watching a stream of that yesterday, some pretty awesome finishing moves
idle saffron
Some are gross lol - very over the top, suits the game well
@winter yew are mortal Kombat fatalities allowed in here? Some are extremely graphic, not sure if it will offend or disgust someone
reef storm
@idle saffron Just drop them with a spoiler tag if you think it's too over the top
reef storm
Ah. No big deal. I don't see why they'd be an issue anyway
reef storm
for science
idle saffron
The story mode isn't bad for a mortal kombat
Cliched plot, but I didn't expect a tapestry of meaningful and moving scenes
meager panther
Haven't played a mk game since ever
Last i player was the pixelated one
It had like sub zero and those character
idle saffron
I like them mostly - but they never keep my attention long
I am having lots of fun right now though
winter yew
@idle saffron I don’t see an issue with it but ... oh @reef storm already answered. Guess I’m going back to bed
cinder vessel
I can't follow Mortal Kombat or many fighting games much these days, never clear on whether I'm getting a full set of characters or if they're expecting me to buy some more or how all that's working
And I'm not really interested in trying to compete against people for whom it's their main game to get perfect at lately
They're pretty fun to watch though, so there's always that!
idle saffron
I'll play for a few days, do some fatalities and the story - and go get whooped Online a few times - or not as the case may be. Then send it back
cinder vessel
Yeah, given that I don't do the rental approach, that's not as much of an option
Albeit I really should see what titles are available at the local Redboxes. Last I checked it was pretty minimal, but it's been a decent amount of time
