I don't see anything about that so far. Reading the Kotaku article
It's legit.
Now, you can spend the in-game money on chips, and of course you can buy the shark cards for money, so I guess, in a way, that's true. But you're not spending real world money directly on chips
real world > shark card > in game cash > chips
Tables/games are being blocked in countries that banned lootboxes too.
It's not definition gambling but R* are covering their butts just in case
Thing is you cant convert your winnings to cash back
You're paying for the "experience" of gambling in the game 😎
Pfft. I'm good doing the random shit in game and exchanging that for chips.
I gamble each time I come to this Discord.
I'm good with playing a better game
Agreed
I think the reason its not allowed is you can probably"hack" it and cash it for a lot of real world money if it was allowed
Oh my god imagine if someone managed to put rockstar into the red with that shit
It's probably incredibly difficult to actually fund a process that allows players to cash in money
And the legality around it would probably affect how they sell and market the game
No people have been able to "hack" the gta online
I fully expect the casino to be hacked in a few days. Chips for all y'all
So like they can fake their winnings and cash it out for money
If they allowed people to cash it out for money

I'd probably play GTA Online if they did that tbh
I'm just saying there are probably much more complex reasons for not doing it lol
I wish I could give you all a million chips each lol
Rockstar has been cracking down on that hacking shit, I've heard. Technically counts as theft. I'm kind of glad that they're cracking down and wiping accounts. Lol.
Yeah, anything that gives an unfair advantage over another player should be cracked down.
It's just virtual cash
yeah for a lot of other countries they ban the transition of real money into fake money for gambling as well
They will not ever be able to cash out chips for real money
Maybe GTA$ but I haven't played it yet so I don't know
It's uh
Well it's odd since GTA is an 18 game which should totally mean it's fine for gambling to be included
But lootboxes are in game that are available to those under the legal gambling age
Hmm
maybe they're admitting no one follows game ratings anyway haha
It's like having a profanity filter but pegi always rate higher for some games
Look at destiny
i mean idk how it works thats why i was asking haha
It's like they rate based off existing ratings for the Devs previous titles
Overwatch has pegi/esrb rating parity
i mean i get the whole oh no its R* shit i just was hoping it wasn't that
i have a hard time hating on weird european ratings because they do rate violence as worse than nudity
which im 100% ok with
Don't know why we weren't allowed our own rating system in the uk
i mean I played Doom when i was 5 and look how well adjusted I am
videogame ratings are inherently stupid imo
they only exist because people made a stink about Mortal Kombat
Pegi bumped Skyrim up to a 18
mods right?
No
This is og Skyrim
It was bbfc 15
Then we were forced into pegi legally
So it became a 18
then maybe cuz blood?
Doesn't have to be detailed
Valve Index started going out?
I like the first Bioshock so far, reeeeaaaally not a fan of the hacking mini-game or the stupid fetch-quest I'm at tho
man, Minecraft seems to have a much higher monster spawn rate now than it used to.
night fell and instantly like 5 zombies 3 skeletons archers, and 2 endermen all popped into existence right by me. freaked me out.
i liked it better when they would come out of the darkness, don't like them just popping into existence close to me
@austere lance idk about the first one, but 2 and 3 are amazing
ive been reminded of a game from my childhood
bejeweled 2
lots of distant nostalgia for that game, especially its music
I've gotta download the tech test for this by Friday
Finally downloaded Shadow of Mordor, getting round to playing this series
Combat is pretty, weird
Not sure I'm a fan, it's very Batman Arkham series
"while in stealth, press X to kiss your wife." LMAO
Lol
oh god i have to rebind all my elite controls
i forget that this is why i never uninstall this game
Its rhythm based like Batman aye
On the bright side
Turns out I had actually nearly reached one of my endgame goals for elite dangerous
Get the faction rank and credits to buy a federal corvette
I died in my Minecraft Hardcore world
My dogs will never see me again
It's sad to think about it
@full pivot you played Shadow of Mordor?
A Short Hike. A little exploration game coming next week, it seems. This looks lovely. Anxious to play through this. https://t.co/rlv1OcYmxw #gaming #indiegames #Steam
It's coming to steam?
It's been available in the Humble Trove for a while now if you wanna play it
Oh it actually looks pretty nice.
@iron inlet yeah i never finished it though
I got ambushed by 4 captains at once lol
i had this one guy early on that was immune to like everything; took forever to cheese him to death
Looks charming
Build your own quests. Share your stories with the world. Story Creator Mode is now free to all players. #AssassinsCreedOdyssey #E32019 Website - http://bit....
Yikes
I want steam
It's still listed, just no date.
Honestly does it even matter if it's on steam or Epic games?
Just download it and move on
I like to keep it simple
You're playing a game
I mean, I don't care personally.
I rarely buy games at launch anyway.
So the +12 months is perfect for me tbh
Hahaha
I want outer wilds tho
It seems to be my type of game
Seems almost like a weird dream you get when you are...
I'm still not convinced but it might be a game I need to play for it to "click" with me.
press Follow
you'll get notifications for new stuff
I should also press Follow for NMS now that I mention it
I haven't even left a review for NMS yet 🤐
i think i did... lemme check
I will tomorrow!
i didn't haha
I had all intention to but just kinda forgot tbh
well apparently none of my reviews are helpful so that's prolly why i don't write them XD
not angry and spiteful enough i guess 😛
I have Outer Wilds installed on Xbox but haven't played more than an hour of it, that was before it got a bunch of updates tho. It was a bit of a mess when I tried it 😬
i haven't really gotten much into that part; maybe when i wanna test mechanics
Yeah i was surprised how much i got into making levels
MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries
I beat Bioshock, second one is better imo
so I guess MW5 won't be on Steam.
guess it's going to become a situation where you have to keep flopping between services to play games anymore.
i'd rather just do away with the whole game service platform paradigm then
I think Bioshock 1 and 3 are superior
Maybe it's because 2 was very similar to 1. 3 was refreshing and different
Same way I felt about the uncharted series. Loved 1 and 2 but 3 kinda bored me.
Then I loved 4
I beat 2 a bunch of times forever ago and finally got around to starting 1 a couple days ago when I got the Collection, 90% of the game just felt like busy-work (fetch quests) and I'm not a fan of not being able dual-wield plasmids and weapons like you can in 2. Between those and the godawful hacking mini-game I just wanted the game to end after I'd played for a couple hours
I can understand that. With sequels come improvements
Its tough to go back and play a game that lacks those improvements
Usually I don't mind switching to old games after playing the sequels but good lord the first game has some questionable designs
It's story is superior imo
2 was like... The worst part of 1, turned into a whole game.
This argument analogous to the idea that some people think music covers are better than the original songs
When in truth, the original is the one who invented it, therefore it wins
I'm sure that if you played the first one first, your opinion would be different
There's tons of sequels better than their first games
They take place in the same place sometimes but they're definitely not always more of the same
Just in general. Same world, different place, similar combat and characters...so on
I think it was 1 that had that one horror scene where you enter a room, the lights turn off, and a bunch of splicer nurses attack you from all directions
That was brilliant
Or was it 2
1 is more horror-focused definitely
Yes
2 is interesting because it greatly adds more story to the Big Daddies, Little Sisters, and Rapture
Love those Holes in the walls where they crawl through
That's such a strange concept
Spider Splicers can fuck right off, lol
Idk why they carry hooks around but I don't like it
you should read Bioshock Rapture by John shirley @austere lance
good book, very violent.
Big Sisters are badass 😆
They appeared at the worst possible time for me.
Duh
I mean yeah 😛
fine don't read it
I'm actually looking for it now but I'm not Soul.
oh
If you're tricky you can get Splicers to shoot Big Sisters and piss em off 😂
no u
Oh god, how many Bioshock books are there
If there's just one I'll be ok but I have zero self-control over buying large amounts of books related to my favorite games, pls don't let there be 8 like Witcher has 😬
Not sure, I just know that first one is more of an 'origin' story, when Bioshock was starting to be built
Ooooooo
Book size don't matter, I've read the Dark Tower series at least twice 😆
And The Stand
Now THERE'S a universe that needs a good game
Big bois
The dark tower would be such a cool game
In the right hands
Not in EAs hands
I would nut a questionable amount of times
43
19 is the correct answer
Damn straight
We'd have to steal all the character writers and world-design people from Rockstar who worked on RDR 2 and have them work with a better studio for Dark Tower, lol
Also, I wonder if Bungie is still putting Dark Tower references into Destiny 
Hmm didn't know there were any
😦 i wish rockstar could make good online so that we wont have to spend a gazillion dollars to be able to keep up and make money to get stuff

neat.
And Deej is a huge Dark Tower fan
Outer Wilds isn't really an NMS-like game, looking closer
IS that the one written by that one lone dude?
It's a scifi game where the entire story is basically told in short stories scattered across a solar system
Yea I've heard of this before. Downloading demo.
Played a good bit of Superflight last night.
A quick note from the developers: Superflight is a game about flying in a wingsuit through colorful mountainscapes and scoring as many points as possible by pulling off risky proximity maneuvers. If you enjoy simple games about flying and speed, look no further! The controls ...
$2.99
5921
@reef cypress I've been playing Rodina, walking around an asteroid, for the past 40 minutes.
we need wingsuits in NMS
ooh I like that idea
Outer wilds has a nice story
I really like it
I might buy it
I torrented it first now I think I'm going to buy it so I can support the developers
Anyone play starbound?
Played Starbound, but really loved Outer Wilds
Outer wilds? I’ll look into that 😃
It's fantastic
Epic store and Xbox it looks like for now, unless the site is old. I’m on PS4 and don’t think my old laptop can handle it lol
Oh yikes
The captains that have insane health regen in Shadow of Mordor are the woooorst
But getting a long way towards 100%-ing this game on the first playthrough. Already got 50% of the Ithildin, and 19/42 Artifacts
I'm 100% against any real world gambling or using real money towards gambling ingame, I have never bought a shark card in gta online and dont plan to but damn the new update is a serious money maker 😔 👌
earned 1 million in less than an hour
If you're lucky you could probs earn a lot more in a storter amount of time and i dont even know how to play the games 😂
allegedly the money you get from a shark card cant be used for gambling in-game
like somehow it's apparently 'coded' so that it cant be used in the casino.
Sonic 076 was good
what exactly is star citizen?
A scam
A scam a flam a big ass clam
Gears of War 5 tech test is live!
Anthem is game of the year material change my mind
Hahahah
I think A Bugs Life will get game of the year this year
Bad news for Anthem
I’ve heard a lot of bad things about Anthem recently.
I like it ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I got it cheap and i got into it pretty quick. My main issue is not being able to do "strongholds" because they require a squad but nobody plays anything other than free roam sooo
but playing the story has been a blast and I dont care if i get board after it because I'd say I got what I paid for, basically if iron man and warframe had a baby 😅
Bruh the new Arcade mode in Gears 5 is LIT
If this is how good Versus is I can't wait to see the campaign and Horde 😍
Baba is you will get game of the year
Unlikely, people don't like using their brains
Its between Big Boom Shoot Bang Royale 6 and Tuck Roll Duck Aim Fire 7
New Xbox one UI is gorgeous
@iron inlet Wait when did that happen?
oh wow that's nice
yeah Microsoft UI designs are BEAUTIFUL when they follow the mockups
problem with half of the Windows UIs is that they dont
and devs go frestyle :p
@winter yew I've played starbound, kinda NMS vibes but it's more towards minecraft-like sandbox and terraria-like progression without hardmode
tbh starbound is pretty much a simplified terraria in space
I can't really get behind 2D games
dude I thought the same
but if you have ever played 2D sidescrollers you'll get the hang of it
I play starbound and terraria with that mindset of "its a roguelike sidescroller but also I can make my own platforms and rules"
for me the sandbox "building castles" is not fun on them, I'd rather minecraft for that
but the rest of it was still nice fun, especially terraria
starbound is still kinda dull in comparison to it
I got terraria since a lot of ppl in my clan in RS recommended it
@visual snow I loved Baba is You but I don't think it will win GOTY, maybe some other award
if you dont like long drawn progression then yeah terraria is a lot to handle
not as much as RuneScape 😛 but that's a 3D open world mmorpg and not a 2d game :d
I didnt pick it up because "ugh 2d minecraft sounds dull"
I never got the hang of old school runescape, I dont like low poly games
oh I never tried the new one as everyone told me its too dull
"everyone" would talk negatively about NMS pre-NEXT as well outside here :p
we know better though
tbh even I would
it only sucks they don't have any proper trailers
In RuneScape, Heroes aren’t born – they are forged! And Darren is unwittingly about to discover that. Adventure Calls, are you in? Grab a month's free member...
this is their latest trailer
but that's a cinematic, no gameplay trailer
nice art tho
they do have individual trailers for the big updates though like this one

Thanks @crisp sparrow that helps
yeah pick it up if its not too expensive, because its still worth a first vanilla playthrough
then go pick up the game changing mods that do the game proper justice

@old kelp noctis is super lofi compared to anything you all were discussing, worth keeping in mind
But it has the interesting proc-gen planet idea going on and various planet info readouts in a more grounded form, plus some cool visor modes to flip between to view things differently
I had some fun just pokeing around the site, its like a perfectly persevered forum
a real peace of history just waiting away on the internet
Yeah, there's a slightly more updated version of Noctis IV that I've poked around via here: http://mooses.nl/nice/about/
I don't know why but for some reason I went with CE, but looking at this again I'm like, "Wait why didn't I just download Plus?"
Those versions I think would be easier to get up & running than the original version
If you're desperate to get Noctis IV CE, however, you can get it here but please remember that Noctis IV CE does not have any official support anymore whatsoever!
for some reason I found that funny
That's what made me especially go, "Wait why in the world did I download that then"
ok I got it working, now im gona figure this out lol, It cant be any harder than navigating relms
looks about the age too
ok, If hello games had no idea about this game, they should. its almost like they had the same dream, but one just tried to do it in the 90's - 00's
Noctis IV CE r.11.x must stand out to be one of the most complete experiences I have yet had.
It is hard to explain how surreal it is to have a whole galaxy to explore, note upon, name solar systems
within - share experiences from
this game is like proto mans sky, but litteraly
For most people, the thought of going into space
and exploring such sights is an impossible dream. But no longer; Noctis allows you to do just that. In
technical terms, it is a fully 3D galaxy, which allows you to explore thousands of stars, their planets and
moons. From the moment you first play Noctis, you'll be hooked.
Yeah, it's interestingly because of No Man's Sky that I somehow found out about it, if memory serves
I thought I was in some type of menu before I realized it was the ship, im reading thought the manual now to actually figure this game out
WAIT A MUNITE
acording to every source I can find, you play as a Felysian, ie this
lol
iron maiden sued ion maiden and made them change their name... how lame
better sue history next 😛
"why was the time machine invented?"
"to retroactively apply modern laws"
"what"
copyright and trademark stuff really annoys me sometimes; like how scott cawthoun who created FNAF had to change art of his game because he didn't own some iteration of funtime foxy
even though he created funtime foxy x.x
🤦
and people actually got mad that he 'stole' the artwork
its his fucking character
can't wait for copyright claims on custom levels for games haha
can't use those troll tactics in MM2 anymore because copyright
MM2?
Mario Maker 2
Aah
someone prolly mentioned this game already but via reviews i discovered Amid Evil so thats a positive
yes I've played it haha; i found it via 2 Best Friends
one of the shitstorms
im super bias to retro FPS because i liked the formula more than regen health
also faster pace action vs tactical shooting stuff
yeah, tbh if i have a choice between medkit vs. regen i tend to prefer the former
its just too bad the olden days of FPS multiplayer will probably never come again 😭
i guess that's true of a lot of things
i do think its fascinating to be excited about games that look like games from the 90s considering I was always dreaming of super cool graphics and future gaming at the time haha
guess on one hand at least the old games are still mostly playable, and some indie devs continue to make ones in their vein
I've kinda wanted to play Freespace again

Freespace 2 had a mod to "enhance" the models and allow for some shading effects and what not so I may do that sometime
Hmm, I might reinstall that
Haven't played it for more than a day or two at a time since the summer it was popular, lol
I bought Outer Wilds today and I'm not really sure wtf is going on.
I'm on maybe 5th loop but I'm super lost.
your ship should have a collection of data points on the back computer that hint at things to look for on your next loop
i.e. visiting a person on a certain planet
Oh, I haven't even noticed them.
its like the "journal" haha
I kept seeing that stuff was being added to my ships log.
Well, I guess that's a great place to look, I'll do that!
and if that doesn't help try looking around the starter planet :3
Okie, I really want to enjoy it so I hope with a little guidance it'll click properly with me.
I mean, I am enjoying it but I just hit a wall like "this can't be it surely."
it does take some doing at times; last time i played i knew where to go i was just having trouble getting there due to the timed aspect
Ah ok, I'll stop being so hasty. I'll definitely be sure to check ship computer now I know it exists. I can't say I even noticed it haha.
I suit up and buckle up and fly. My lack of awareness is poor. 😛
I appreciate the advice.
i played the original student project one so i already knew about a lot of the features going into this retail one
the computer being one of them
@storm tendon Minecraft mods are a must, just for weird stuff like this 😂
almost half of my XCOM2 mods are just to make my squad people look cooler xD
lool I need to try that game sometime, looks nice
its as exciting as it is stressful
nothing is more stressful than enjoying anthem
the feeling when everything starts to fall apart is something i don't think any other game has caused me
the sims 2
and considering its turn based so its not like you have to rush
your house burning down, uncontrollable fire and everybody in your family dying too fast to save them
but you can kinda tell when your entire squad is gonna get slaughtered
and then you gotta get atleast one sim to survive to continue the bloodline
the sims was never stressful to me
no i think i was specifically playing it right
@winter yew I really enjoy shader packs and texture packs more than anything on minecraft
and I always play HC mode when i play so basically whenever i step into the nether i dont usually make it
Woololololo
Yess
Any of you hear about an old PS2 game called SkyGunner?

Is it weird that all I've been playing lately are the Bioshock trilogy, the Gears of War 5 tech test, and Minecraft 😆
minecraft best game change my mind
There isn't a single person on the planet who would try to
okay but have you tried: Dragon Quest Builders 1 & 2
I haven't tried them
If they make a third, looking at how much they improved with the second, it will be fantastic
I probably should have spent some more time with other games but nope, I spent most of the summer playing Minecraft and then a bit of NMS
y'all playing varied games and all I am is just NMS and Minecraft
I did play a bit of starbound and terraria but eh
I did also start a modded game of Fallout 4 but that was very recently. Like I said I spent a large chunk of my summer playing Minecraft and I don't regret it at all
same until I burnt out so went back to NMS

Started playing Obduction by Cyan
A beautifully bizarre world
I recommend to people who like puzzle walking somulators
RuneScape is actually about a lot of things
first you have about 25 unique skills to train
(they also add a new one each few years)
there are amazing storylines, and the lore is actually more advanced than the Elder Scrolls
I believe RuneScape has the biggest lore of any game
there are about 250 quests at this point from my estimation
and each of these are fully fleshed out (cinematic) stories, some take up to 2 - 8 hours
you have 20 ish minigames, there are regular slayer mobs to kill, there are high level bosses that are amazing
while the game is a MMORPG, most of the gameplay is actually single player
but it works that you can see everyone online in the same world and talk with them
while playing on your own
the game also works as " Living Game ", which is what HelloGames does to No Man's SKy
but on a much larger scale
the game has weekly updates each monday / tuesday with patch notes and taking feedback from players through Reddit, Twitter etc
and 2 - 4 new content additions per month
it only sucks they don't really have a global gameplay trailer anymore but
In RuneScape, Heroes aren’t born – they are forged! And Darren is unwittingly about to discover that. Adventure Calls, are you in? Grab a month's free member...
runescape was also the mmo I wanted to play in middle school
this is their latest, but cinematic trailer to give an idea as well

heh
no news about that SpatialOS+Vulkan powered MMO from jagex...
- oldschool 😛
those ear drill horns
game has also been free for me since 2013
this is the best gameplay trailer for the global game imo
Play now at http://bit.ly/9DpExY RuneScape trailer featuring a variety of our favourite RuneScape locations, activities and gameplay. Music: "Temple Desecrat...
but the graphics are from 2009 and do not represent the game at all 😛
but what they do is kinda how it works
kinda, since a lot of gamesystems have advanced
you could say Elder Scrolls lore is pretty tame compared to RuneScape lore 😛
as far graphics go, they've made a new game client which can render the game in much better ways than in that trailer and how oldschool was
Download NXT now: http://bit.ly/DownloadNXT RuneScape through a new lens. Beautiful graphics, enhanced performance. We give you our new Game Client, NXT - go...
everything in that trailer are the pre-NXT graphics, enhanced through the better client
and new areas now (as well as graphical reworks to the existing ones) bring the graphics up to the new possibilities
for the lore, there are essentially six ages in the history, and ages 1-5 mostly happend before your adventure begins
if you started before 2012 ish you were at the end of the fifth-age, now you'll start in the sixth age
Where did Guthix and the other Gods come from? Find out in 'The Origins of Gielinor' -- an animated history of RuneScape's land of Gielinor. Watch it in prep...
this one basically explains the lore of what happend in ages 1 - 5, with a teaser to the quest released back lifting the game to the sixth-age
they usually also have 1-3 expansion sized updates per year

I think that should work as far I can explain 😛
lmao, just crashed anthem by tabbing out
yea, during a loading screen, tabbed out, and it crashed.
there goes all my rewards ;(((
seemingly in AC1 & AC2 Ubisoft didn't know how to shut down the game
so when you chose quit, it just caused an error to crash 😛

this makes me miss SupCom so much
@crisp sparrow Yes it's Anthem but doesn't seem to be much changing
hmm
other than the storm event thing but even then it's still the same as it was months ago.. pretty effin' sad.
wtf?
the Grox had a king?!
I never knew
current highest graphics in RS
(the flags on that tent are not animated, ran out of animation time XD)
ok that looks miles better
this city launched two years ago, after being teased in game for 10 years or so
which also gave us god rays yay 😛
............ and then you have oldschool 😂
"thicc" as one might say
altho don't be fooled by the belly
it's actually a disguise for a big af spider ;-;
can't say OSRS is my thing lol
Die Entstehungsgeschichte der drei unterschiedlichen Kriegsparteien UEF, Cybrans und Aeons wird in eindrucksvollen Bildern erzählt.
I miss Supreme Commander oof
GOD I am hyped for Hytale
if you miss it, just play it...
@random sinew it was $35 dollars at walmart when i was last there
hmm
@spare marlin ```With the foundation of Red Dead Online now established, future updates will offer new ways to fully inhabit your character as you progress in multiple roles and carve out your own place on the frontier.
Starting this summer, players will be able to take on the first three of a series of new roles: track down wanted criminals as a bounty hunter; search the world for treasure, and other exotic items to sell as a collector; or build a business at camp as a trader and more.
Each new role will come with a range of unique gameplay along with a host of new outfits, weapons and other rewards to earn. Players will have the option to focus on a specific role to advance quickly and unlock each role’s unique attributes, or simultaneously progress across multiple roles as you play naturally to create your own unique character and path through the frontier. ```
what we know so far.
its def worth the price mp3
still $79 in Canada
ah I'll wait to see
not paying that price 😐
At least I have a huge backlog of games to play so I'll be patient
I'm done paying full price for games
You'll save money and get more content than launch in most cases.
My personal rule is +12 months.
Yeah
It's worked well for me so far.
and never preorder
I'm a huge fan of Mass Effect and I didn't preorder Andromeda. Dodged a bullet there
you get gold hella easy now
I rarely pre-order but I also don't wait 12 months, Game Pass has been helping with that since I can download upcoming games like Outer Worlds and Gears of War 5 a couple days before they release
game pass is great
PS+ is okay but Game Pass does seem a better deal..
i dunno what game pass is
oh
uhhh
Sony's version of that is Playstation Now
that's pretty cool
I think it’s the same as how the ps3 upscaled ps2 games
From the creators of ARK: Survival Evolved comes ATLAS - a massively multiplayer first-person pirate adventure.
holy shit?
So Sea of Thieves with dragons and stuff? 😛
I never heard of this game?
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF
is it justified ?
since NMS reviews were kinda low on launch as well
although
a year has passed
Apparently so.
But Sea of Thieves is available on PC no?
Via Xbox app.
Which is in beta and apparently super janky right now.
hmm
shouldn't jagex have just went with either DX or Vulkan then for their new client instead of OpenGL? 😛
Vulkan is cross platform, DX is not.
NXT client HAD directX
Vulkan is the logical choice if you want to be cross-platform
don't remember where i did read about it...
oh wow they didn't share this with us
I googled it
When I was nine years old, I was one of the writers for my middle school’s student-run RuneScape mag
“The next round of graphical upgrades will include normal maps, larger textures, point light shadows, particle lighting, physically-based shading, improved volumetrics and further improved global illumination. We’ve also got plans to add support for the Vulkan rendering API to reduce driver CPU overhead even further.”
oooooof
beat me to it
"RuneScape NXT client uses ANGLE to provide a DirectX 9 compatibility mode for older graphics cards." from here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANGLE_(software)
ANGLE (Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine) is an open source, BSD-licensed graphics engine abstraction layer developed by Google. The API is mainly designed to bring high-performance OpenGL compatibility to Windows computers and to web browsers such as Chromium by translatin...
even DX9 is better than OpenGL
Talking of upcoming games, hopefully Skull & Bones won't suck
thats still not out?
We need a good pirate game 😮
I'll send the article to the engine mods working on NXT
to see if it's still accurate 😛
also ubisoft is only good at making assassins creed games where you no longer play an assassin so.
Sea of Thieves is too cartoonish
its still a pirate game
I also found this
forgot aobut this one
It may come as a surprise when I say that none of these new APIs will give you much benefit by just a straight port from OpenGL or D3D, assuming all rendering is just running from a single thread. However, where they really shine is in allowing developers to build GPU command buffers for render passes on multiple CPU cores. But even then, if your applications is already GPU bound, overall performance gains won’t be seen. On most machines that can run NXT, we’re predominantly GPU bound, especially on low-end hardware.
That’s not to say we don’t intend on supporting one these bad boys! The truth is we can’t wait to sink our teeth into at least one of them, anything that has a chance of increasing performance is like candy to us graphics developers. Out of the three, Vulkan will likely be the winner, given that it is cross platform, and adding additional backends for DirectX12 and Metal won’t give us much extra, just take up more developer time and add additional complication to our rendering layer.
It won’t simply be a case of just adding a Vulkan backend though, as I’ve mentioned, multi-core rendering is where these APIs really fly, so some re-design of our rendering architecture will be needed to enable this.```
too much to read :/
yeah directx has one huge issue... after 9 it started to go only for windows
but now with young Vulkan linux gaming is very relevant
I tried to get into RuneScape, I got bored after a couple campfires.
i got at least to second waypoint 
yeah they are like real stories
RuneScape quests is where my name comes from
Going for Quests 😛
then I personalise it for every Discord server Going4
on RS I'm actually Waiting4Quests now though
as it's been a couple of months now without actual quests xD
i have used this name since 2007 so it's pretty much everywhere 
even in Kal Online and Rappelz
Grrr, GOG Galaxy 2.0 doesn't seem to view my updated play time on PlayStation..
nah xD
iirc one at that tower where had to bunch of stuff
Rune Mysteries rework with Ariane?
yes!
oooof
xD
oh
the sixth age quests are voiced
can I summarise what happend? 😛
or don't you want spoilers
iirc i wrapped that quest so maybe i ran out of quests ?
the tower one?
yeah
there have been 20 ish quests between now and Rune Mysteries with Ariane
oh no wrong
45 ish
I suck in random estimations
While Guthix Sleeps and Ritual of the Mahjarrat pale in comparison to the crazy level of the sixth age
can I summarize what happend or do you want to do themselves in the future? 😃
also, I named a base of me While Emeril Sleeps in NMS xD
christ I've seen the trailers of the sixth age quests yet more
my hype levels went through the roof 😂
@cyan parcel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iApfmzetjyQ
The epic sequel to Fate of the Gods is nearly upon us - Children of Mah. Join Zamorak, Zaros (and Sliske) in a titanic battle of godlike proportions - who wi...
all of these voices are from quests
AND YES
IF YOU KNOW RS LORE
that is where Zamorak betrays Zaros!!
I don't
I played it once in 2005 or something
if you grew up with RuneScape
for an hour
this trailer is the biggest hype
for decades, what happens in the trailer has been teased and foreshadowed
this is one of the BIGGEST historic events from the God Wars in RuneScape
that happend ages before the game starts
and in this quest they show the full event in a flashback
such hype
Zaros (praise The Empty Lord) had the great Zarosian Empire in the second age
which was basically like the Roman Empire
until he was betrayed by his upper general, Legatus Maximus Zamorak
Zamorak defeated Zaros in there, ascending to godhood
and banishing Zaros
That's a lot of Z names

My thicc Juggernaut is coming back, lol

Also, Gears 5 seems to be taking the Ubisoft route with having hero characters that you can buy with in-game currency or irl $$$
oof RTX 2080 ti can't hit 60 fps in 4K ultra shadow of the tomb raider
Ah yes, the Tomb Raider that's basically a tech test 😴
the graphics are really the best tho
Rise of the Tomb Raider>Tomb Raider>three raccoons fuckin in a dumpster>Shadow of the Tomb Raider
Yeah you can tell 90% of its budget went towards graphics
stopped halfway through coz college
I really enjoyed it imo
for me it's the chronological release order tbf
The third one is complete nonsense and only has two hours of actual gameplay in it, the rest is walking and talking and uber-heavily scripted fights
tbh the new tomb raiders are about like the new planet of the apes movies to me in terms of their titling. I have no idea which is which off the top of my head
well yeah
I mostly play these kind of games for the immersive story
which is maybe how I loved them
Shadow is the last of the reboot trilogy and a glorified tech demo, Tomb Raider is the first of the reboot trilogy, and Rise is the second (and best)
@cinder vessel
@worn jacinth Have you gotten to the hidden city
yeah
I'm now in a new area
I forgot the name
been like a half year
but with the broken church
and the flags things 😛
The game quit being immersive once I got to the Forbidden City and had all the weird Aztec people understand Lara when she spoke English even tho they're in an ancient hidden city
immersive 🙄
I don't mind that tbf
I prefer them also just speaking English tbf in AC
ah I misread
you meant that they're not supposed to be able to speak English
Lara: Speaks English to ancient Aztec dudes that have been hiding in an ancient city for thousands of years
Aztecs: Understand her and reply in Aztec
Lara: Understands and replies in English
not the fact that they speak English
😛
ah yes I forgot it
well I didn't mind that
Finally I made it to the center of the galaxy at spore
@silver garnet nice
i thought for sure the center of the galaxy in NMS would be a salute to Spore. was pretty disappointed when it wasn't
if the Gek ever get borged, they'll be the Grox
we need a defeatable foe in NMS like the Grox.
I always rotate games constantly @candid solar
I'm prone to burnout and know it, lol
@charred badge i bought Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Played it. A few hours. Went back to NMS and tend to my farm....i think ive got a problem...(whispers) Hail Sean.
I also spend time goofing around with weird combinations of the stuff in my junk containers

@charred badge if only i have a whole lots of toys.
Years of scavenging/deal watching
Have to keep it trimmed down to a couple drawers these days
At first I thought that was a PSTV @charred badge
it is
got it for very cheap
the screen is a rasp-pi thing, the Titan controller adapter was a gift, and the power brick was maybe $30 and is mostly used to power phones during electrical outages
@charred badge what’s the pic of?
Oh wait. Patch got it
Not patch. Pstv
What’s the thing that has a Sybil similar to the overwatch symbol?
how on god's green earth is ARK $50??
Ah yes, a broken game at a high price. Totally makes sense
obv
some friends kept trying to prod me into picking that up and the price was the main sticking point for me of hrrm given everything i've read no thanks
then on top of that the gameplay is hrrrrmmmmmm

Yeah.... I think I have a few hours in it. Just not really worth it.
I have the explorers edition
The default settings for any world are trash
It makes the game super slow and grindy
It takes forever to tame creatures
The optimization for the game is absolute garbage
And instead of fixing performance issues and bugs they decide to constantly make new content
They just recently released a new map called valguero
They added tons of new content with that
Yeah it's no fun unless you do custom settings
I'm just happy I've never paid for it, I tried it with Game Pass
At least I didn’t have to pay for it, my mom did for my brother and I
I spent most of my time doing stupid stuff like taming this boi, lol
It's entertaining if you do custom settings and treat it like a wacky sandbox 😆
I did split-screen with it but I refuse to touch the toxic af online
I’ve done split screen to. The only problem is that it makes text impossible to read
Tru
Plus you had to be within a certain distance of the host which is stupid
speaking of text impossible to read, this generation of consoles has been awful for that
What games have you been playing, lol
Joining a random online server in that game is fun but also extremely terrifying
Like even on 1080p displays i'm like wtf, what resolution is this game designed for
Wot
Marvel's Spider-Man was bad with that, for a pretty recent example S0ul
Ah, I've got no experience with that
The only games with crap text I could think of were Ark and Divinity Original Sin
NMS I've noticed is pretty bad with it too, for a cross-platform example
we don't know any details about NMS Online, it might be anything 🙂
There was this one time when I was in a server when a pitch black disfigured guy named poop kept hunting me down. It was especially scary at night. I don’t know how he kept finding me. Even after I kept killing him
Ark Endermen
er, wrong channel Kodai?
It was literally the scariest yet also the funniest experience I had with the game
@wet warren Ark Enderman wanted yo booty
that's why i like MMOs like Ragnarok Online, you had to form bonds with other players in it in order to have fun 😄
was just another example of a game with hard to read text on consoles, at least imo
I hate it when games have hard to read text
I also hate it when a game is poorly optimized
Like ARK for example
yeah ARK is very good example that UE4 is not for PC at all, it's mostly mobile game engine
well they keep messing up lightnings
well what you expect from snail games
They should have just made the game cost money on the store and make it not pay to win
But then again they probably would not have made much money from that
lolwat UE is just an engine, how it's handled depends entirely on the devs
same can be said from unity too 😃
@keen yew that's a titan 2. Basically a programmable gadget that takes what you plug into it and outputs it to the console/PC you're gaming on
scriptable.
I use it for controller freedom and weird combos, but it's also used by people to cheat
it's the only thing I've tried that combined and forwarded joycons perfectly
Anyone having problems with joy con analogs drifting?
Yep
Apparently it's becoming a common issue, to the point that Nintendo is replacing them for free
Yeah i want to send them over to them
I wonder why thats the case
Not sure. I'll need to see what it takes to get them replaced.
Ill prolly just email them
The problem for me is that my country doesnt have nintendo customer services
Damn. That sucks. Hopefully they'll be able to help out somehow
Has anyone dismantled one and seen if there's some kind of wear or something that would explain it?
I see the Switch has followed the path of old console controllers, lol. Happened a lot on my original Xbox 360 controller from 2007
oh my.... i have 465 games across Steam, Uplay, GOG and Windows Store
oh my bad... it doesn't count game pass games xD
so around 600 games
Obsidian's New Vegas-flavoured RPG just got a surprise Nintendo-themed announcement. ---------------------------------- Follow IGN for more! ---------------...
I'm dying waiting for it to come out in October
and keep in mind! you can get lifetime $4/mo game pass for pc limited time so as long you keep it as recurring you will pay only $4/mo it forever, it will go $10 at some point
I want a doki doki lc sequel
haha
you don't own anything on game pass though
This Fall is gonna be good for games, Outer Worlds and Gears 5 within a month of each other 👌
that's called renting, lmao
well true, renting 100+ games for $4/month
i will never pay all those games in my life XD
there is like thousands dollars worth games included in it
and more come
it's insane but it sell extremely well
for example it takes 1 year and about 5 months to pay Outer Worlds completely
Did you guys see that Tom Holland is playing Nathan Drake in the upcoming Uncharted movie?
@tepid ridge How do you know how long it takes to beat Outer Worlds?
well if you pay $4 in month for year it's $48 total
Duh
Oh, was that just a made up example
or how much outer worlds pre-order costs ? $69,90 or $54,90 ?
in MS store it's 59,99€
@austere lance it'll be around 30-40 hours long
outer worlds def has a fallout 4 aesthetic to it. same color pallet it looks like
God I hope it isn't like Fallout 4 🤢
i mean it's by the people who made new vegas so it has to be good
Hopefully!
for some it will be 30-40 hrs but for fallout fan boys it might be 100+ hrs
Man, just saw this new game
Seriously reminds me of kerbal systel construction.
Just with more objectives i suppose
Spending 20k hours plus in kerbals, me waaaants
sorting through my old magic the gathering cards to see if i have anything that would help me upgrade my computer. found a card worth $170
would be awesome if i have more valuable stuff in here.
what exactly is the outer worlds?
Basically a new Fallout made by the New Vegas devs
But with more space stuff
Honestly it looks like Fallout and Borderlands mixed together
Steam says it's "similiar" to NMS as well
so Fallout + Borderlands + No Man's Sky?
that was the most boring reveal trailer from the Switch thing lol
just talking through the game on the same tone, and in the last minute or so calling Switch
@worn jacinth
https://youtu.be/XmyF8IjfSUI
The Outer Worlds is coming to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on October 25, 2019!
No Man's Sky on Switch when
outerworlds looks interesting, but Starbase is the one I want to see more about.
