Cuz my buddy I used to play with was always THE LIGHT!!

In the raid, yeah

We're not worthy of actually facing him, trust me

That dude has a "barge" larger than a small planet and it's full of fuckin insanely powerful creatures he uses for sport against Guardians

Have you done a Menagerie run
echo hill
idek what that is

Oh god
BEE WHY
Calus is actually testing us
He wants us to be the shadow of Earth

@echo hill Menagerie is him making your Fireteam go through a bunch of hellish mini-games full of powerful creatures and traps
echo hill
tf is the shadow of earth
austere lance
He lovingly praises you every time you complete something, lol
echo hill
i will later when i have time

@echo hill He has hundreds of Strike-worthy bosses that he just tosses at Guardians to make us stronger and more worthy, lol

@echo hill It's on the Leviathan, you access it separately tho. Gotta have the Annual Pass and Forsaken
austere lance

I don't really play with a fireteam besides matchmaking stuff, am a solo boi. I'm Power level 732 tho, which is higher than I thought I'd get solo
austere lance
Honestly the game's great to play solo nowadays
echo hill
yeah theyve done a pretty good job
austere lance
How tf are you that high without touching Menagerie
winter yew
is the Menagerie a raid?
winter yew
OH ok
austere lance
It's fun as hell, my favorite mini-game is The Gauntlet. You get locked in a room with a bunch of Vex and randomly-spawning Minotaur bosses and whenever a Minotaur gets killed everybody gets teleported to the Gauntlet, which is an obstacle course you gotta run through before the timer runs out

I find it interesting that NOBODY is talking about Rebel Galaxy Outlaw on this server
orchid pulsar
Heck. I gotta figure out how to turn my makeshift capital ship into a war machine in Star Sector. I think I might aim to fit it with 2 large barrage missile arrays, 2 large mortars, 4 large needle cannons and 6 small needle cannons
I'm not even sure if that's possible though because apparently the combat system needs to be balanced and having that many needle cannons which are strictly speaking the best DPS weapon in the game is too powerful
It'd be way easier to do if I had the religious fanatic modified ship instead of the pirate warship modified version. The fanatic ship just flies into battle and goes boom. No mods needed

I don't think Toyota has made a single good sporty car since like the GT2000

A friend did his own nms fangame in Dreams ps4 by MediaMolecule (another indie studio, near HG's in Guildford)
rigid haven
How sweet
rigid haven
Dreams seems like it'll be something great, I managed to grab the test thingy but I'm not too good with things like that
dry jackal
Seems that indie dev's have a thing for creativity
One team makes an in-game universe that creates itself. Another team makes a game engine disguised as a game where you can bring your dreams to virtual reality.
Aaand they're both in Guildford lol
You can make anything and make anything do anything
rigid haven
Wait, Mm is in Guildford too?
dry jackal
Yessir!
rigid haven
Man, what's in the water over there
dry jackal
They were a few doors from HG's
Heck, this controller was made in Dreams: https://i.imgur.com/cpkpFMv.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/yBPKII6.jpg
I think people over there are secretly manufacturing NZT-48
lol
rigid haven
Did they finally add VR support?
dry jackal
Not yet, but they are making that in Dreams in preparation apparently!
This is something that I did:
rigid haven
Oh damn
dry jackal
Some more random dreamiverse pics that I took in this album here: https://imgur.com/a/Jvs21O6
Like people are beginning to start making other games in there
Including remade classics in different styles
rigid haven
I heard there was a Crash Bandicoot one somewhere? But it's been a while since I've played
dry jackal
Yeah! I played that. It was well made. The physics and gameplay of it was pretty much identical
if not identical
rigid haven
Oooh shit, I'll check it out later then
dry jackal
You can create anything from concept art, paintings, drawings, sculptures, movies, games, animations, 3D models, music, anything.
And make anything do anything,.
Yeah man
rigid haven
Mhmm, though like I said, I haven't gotten much into it
rigid haven
Ooo
rigid haven
Hahaha
That's a neat idea, damn
I'd like it if the physics weren't so odd sometimes though, I'd love to make a platformer in the style of Mega Man
dry jackal
But what else is awesome is... they said that the amount of time it takes to make a level is the time it takes to experience it... but, when it comes to concept art (you don't have to just look at it) you can get immersed in it:
Real-time concept art as explorable worlds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psdC3tXgOLQ
Yeah, regarding the physics...
I think it depends upon the creator. Like, I've seen super fluid things.
But now that people are getting better at making stuff all over, more impressive things are getting pushed out
And it's surprising that this game is only in EA
Yet, many creations feel AAA
They've been working on it since 2015? I think?
They accomplished their original vision
Someone made a mega man character that I saw btw
Physics seemed on point 👌
Can't wait to see where it goes, feels like nms hype all over again lol

Lbp was certainly a lot of fun back in the day. Yeah! Knowing the kind of things that people made then; Dreams is just mindblowing. Can't wait to see what's to come with it, especially since it is still only early access (with VR to come at launch)

@charred badge so jeb has mentioned that while they're changing up the combat mechanics yet again, 1.15 will not be a "combat" update as we speculated
charred badge
Who is Jeb?
charred badge
I checked out around the time they were adding enchanting and more enemy behavior to get in the way of digging and building.
charred badge
It's a game about digital Legos, ffs
crisp sparrow
And some sorta major changes to combat again
So that all platforms will be consistent
charred badge
I'm also annoyed because the migration to Mojang from minecraft accounts apparently had zero confirmation requirements
Because somebody migrated my legacy account
charred badge
Support cleared it up because I had the transaction number on the purchase, but it was annoying.
crisp sparrow
Yea understandable
And idk about your feelings on them adding stuff you don't appreciate, I started playing on 1.13 so I just accepted it to be a part of the game just like NMS (1.7)
charred badge
It's just basically that they were adding things that actively got in the way of the original appeal for me, not so much adding things I wasn't interested in.
Just like Terraria adding bosses that attack bases without needing a trigger.
crisp sparrow
Yeah I can get that's
charred badge
And the spreading corruption.
Having rewards I won't get by playing Lego is fine by me. Just don't make the content come and kill me.
Especially when it's made significantly harder due to not leveling anything or getting dungeon gear
rigid haven
Terraria is more combat-focused than minecraft
Minecraft is just like
"build and sometimes kill"
terraria is "kill and sometimes build"
charred badge
Terraria started as the former
rigid haven
I'm glad it didn't stay that way
I guess there are still building elements for people who want that, but I much prefer killing
cinder vessel
@charred badge speaking of digital Lego, this is why I really like Lego Worlds, despite its support kind of dropping off the face of the planet

as people do @rigid haven , but the engine is definitely better suited to building than fighting,

@echo hill Yo get Rune Compatibility I, it lets you start earning red runes and the first red rune I got turns the next weapon I get from Menagerie into a Power weapon

Also, make sure to go talk to the robot on the Nessus barge and get the consumable that ups your chances of runes dropping from activities

You'll get the most amount of them from doing Menagerie Triumphs
echo hill
Okay cool

And bounties help too
If you have a ton of glimmer on you I'd go open the 20 chests on the Nessus barge or however many there are, they cost 5k glimmer to open and each chest gives 150 Imperials and random runes

Hell yeah, go open a ton of chests and stock up on goodies
I'm going there rn to get some bounties, lol

A bunch of Triumphs are for bounties and each triumph gives 500 Imperials 👌

It's full of Power 750 tryhards who miss Trials, lol

They hinted at bringing it back
They said Trials of the Nine is done but when they said it they said "Trials of the Nine" like they were thinking about bringing back Trials of Osiris or something

Trials was bonkers, my friends and I were one of the first fireteams to win a match when it went live. We were literally sitting there waiting for the Trials tab to open 😆

Trials of Osiris back in D1 was wild, tho Trials of the Nine was better imo cuz if had more lore

I'm a bigger heathen, I just can't get into looter games
I like my equipment to properly, dramatically vary between upgrades/changes, not just +10 (conditionally) or you got a new version, dmg was: 250, now it's...450, holyshitwhoa
One of my fav. things in stuff like Metroid was just how different missiles felt from the power beam, and wave beam felt different from that, and so on. Same in Mega Man, how different the abilities you snag from defeating bosses felt to your regular mega buster.
I'm a sucker for flashy, powerful abilities, lol
austere lance
I like Destiny because of how many different perks and abilities guns have and how many different ways you can upgrade them. You and I can both find a Nameless Midnight scout rifle but mine could have Outlaw (reloads faster for a couple seconds after every precision kill) and Rampage (damage gets boosted after every kill, tho it only stacks 3x) while yours could have Rangefinder (aiming down sights provides more zoom than it normally would) and Explosive Rounds (self explanatory). On top of that we could both put different mods into the gun too, like I could put a mod in mine that makes it do more damage to bosses and you could put one in yours that makes it have less recoil @cinder vessel
And if you loved the roll you got for the gun you could Masterwork it so its stats get boosted and kills you get with it drop Orbs of Light for your teammates
cinder vessel
Those are all a bit too invisible, stat-ish to me tho
except maybe the explosive rounds one
if they really explode
austere lance
Increased zoom is stat-ish?
You can roll ones with full auto too, lol. Which is ridiculous on a scout rifle with high stability cuz it just lets you drill through an enemy's head in two seconds 😆
They satisfyingly explode, worry not
Or you could get one with Firefly, which makes enemies explode after you precision kill them
cinder vessel
I was gonna say increased zoom too, but it's not the sort of visual I have in mind when I'm saying I like flashy, powerful abilities vs. slight changes to things
It's kind of like in, say, Guild Wars, you had equipment that you could hit enemies with, but it always took a backseat to your skills, many of which had unique animations & effects, some of which looked cool af
If the equipment isn't going to operate much differently or look much different, then I'll take that sort of ability/skill system over going after slightly different equipment
austere lance
I like Destiny abilities, especially for Hunters. My guy is all about throwing flaming knives everywhere xD
cinder vessel
Like the coolest thing I've seen from Destiny in terms of gameplay is the weird bullshit abilities, lol
I'd much rather use those frequently than fire the guns

Ayyy, nice

I started it on Xbox but never went back to it. I'll be sitting through it on PC for sure.
austere lance
I may have beaten it within a week of release, lol
And I've been sitting here being sad ever since
Hopefully with Steam sales they'll be able to add new stuff
austere lance
Hell yeah
Easily one of my favorite DLC's of all time
@iron inlet HOLY FUCKING SHIT

THEY'RE ADDING NEW STUFF TOO

Ashen in Switch is hot

I didn't watch the trailer yet
But I still need to go back through and play Children of Sissna mode anyway

Watch the trailer, trust me

Might have to buy it finally once it's on sale
austere lance
Worth it

That friggin game hooked me hard enough that I played nothing but it for a week straight, I'm hyped for new stuff 😍

You ever played Absolver?
Similar art style

Have you played any of the others?

No.
austere lance
............that's gonna be confusing

Please explain.
austere lance
It's technically the sixth game in a series
fluid hare
Ah.
austere lance
Counting the prequel
fluid hare
Ah, I see.
fluid hare
I was thinking that there are characters with the same names.
austere lance
Starting with the sixth means you'll have skipped a massive war that lasted 3 games and missed out on a ton of great characters (like Dom 😢)

austere lance
Is it weird that I can still have fun playing through it 17 years after release 😆
austere lance
Honestly I don't even care about the graphics, the old goofy-ass Elites are still as fun to kill as the new shiny versions xD
And the God Magnum still rules all
echo hill
dude if anything I prefer the goofy lookin elites
maybe its nostalgia but their death animation never gets old

We may make fun of the wort wort but we also know they only worted when they spotted you, lol
Wort wort usually means incoming grenades 😂

I fuckin love the skulls you can turn on in the remaster, especially the dumbass one that makes enemies shit out grenades when you melee em
echo hill
hahaha yes
austere lance
I like to run into a hallway, slap a Grunt, drop a grenade, and run like hell while everything goes BOOM xD
You can cause some glorious chain reactions in hallways
austere lance
Is Kingdom Come: Deliverance any good? I've read that it's pretty fun but I also saw that you have to craft a friggin potion to save 🤢
bronze wind
It's decent but clunky at times
The saving thing isn't the worst in my experience but it is a little annoying
If you sleep in your bed it also saves, though that obviously requires that you go home
saves after certain quest steps as well, though again, not all lol
bronze wind
The reason I haven't played in a bit is because there are times when multiple enemies can ambush you at a time, and it's near impossible to fight them off with the way the lock on works and combat essentially forcing 1 on 1
austere lance
Why tf does it have such high reviews everywhere if it's that clunky
bronze wind
There are strategies for it but it always just feels so annoying and clunky.
Cause a lot of people value the realism.
Though I wouldn't really attribute much realism to it lol
It's just complex
austere lance
I'll try if, I feel like I'll probably delete it if it's that clunky tho 😆
bronze wind
Yeah since you have it for free no reason not to try
I did enjoy a good amount of it, just got a bit tired of how tedious a lot of it was
austere lance
The beauty of Game Pass, lol. I've tried tons of games I was curious about but didn't want to buy on it
bronze wind
For sure. I'm glad it's coming to PC.
I'm downloading remnant from the ashes right now, gonna use my 2 hour steam refund window to see how it is lol
austere lance
Closest thing we have to the ol demo discs that came in the back of gaming magazines xD
bronze wind
Even better than that honestly, since you can access the full game
austere lance
I wish Remnant was on Game Pass, I'm curious af about it
bronze wind
Oh I thought you'd played
austere lance
No, I'm just in the Discord 😁
cinder vessel
@austere lance sorry, was heading into work so didn't grab the source, but Hex got my back, thanks @winter yew
I keep kinda looking at Remnant since some of my friends have picked it up, but not sure how interested I am in its setting & setup
austere lance
FUCK YES, FAM
https://youtu.be/APqBWniRQbQ
cinder vessel
I'd kinda like to get them to pick up Dragon Quest Builders 2 since it has 4 player coop, but I think they're too against the cartoony aesthetic these days =/
winter yew
looks like its super fun, dont know how it went under my radar til today
cinder vessel
Remnant or Ashen?
winter yew
remnant
austere lance
Everybody I've talked to says it's fun, unfortunately my game tastes make zero sense so I have no idea if I'll actually like it til I play it
Idk anything about this guy but his review seems good
https://youtu.be/HvdmwYL7H7U
bronze wind
I'm refunding it lol
Not a horrible game but just not worth the $40 for me, might pick up Control tomorrow instead.
austere lance
How far did you get? The tutorial is supposed to be boring but once you get turned loose in the weird dimensional-hopping dungeon stuff it's supposed to be cool
austere lance
Yeah you fight through everywhere from post-apocalyptic Earth to creepy-ass alien deserts
winter yew
i really want this game now
winter yew
i need my paycheck first and then ill think about copping lmfao
bronze wind
I got out of the tutorial and wasn't super interested in the setting
Not anything wrong with it, just didn't interest me much
cinder vessel
@bronze wind owait Control is out tomorrow? aaahhhh
I'm really curious about it, hoping they patch up base PS4 performance because I think that's what I might want to play it on more
winter yew
i want games with eldritch horror stuff
like bloodborne kinda poked at it and i love that game
austere lance
I'd be excited for Control if Quantum Break hadn't bored me to tears within 90 minutes, lol
@bronze wind What setting, there's like 6 
cinder vessel
@austere lance did you ever play Remedy's other games?
austere lance
I liked that cuz it felt like a Stephen King book
Only Max Payne I played was the godawful last one
I saw the horrid movie too 🤢
cinder vessel
Hm. Well ya might like Control, I'd say keep it on your radar at least
bronze wind
It was just a broken down city area
austere lance
Ah, the first area. I don't think you even got to the dimension-hopping randomly generated dungeons yet
Also, Control looks like one of those "deep" games that's cool for one playthrough then you never touch it again
cinder vessel
i remember hearing stuff about it playing like a Metroidvania-esque game so even if it is one of those, I'm down
austere lance
I watched 15 minutes of gameplay and it's just a third-person shooter with telekinetic powers, lol
90% of it was the dev shooting people with a pistol and throwing crap at em with telekinesis
I wasn't kidding
https://youtu.be/wcF3XiztoEA
bronze wind
Looks cool to me, at least it seems polished
I like telekinesis mechanics so that's a plus
cinder vessel
also i mean psi-ops was cool
and we haven't had a psi-ops like in...what, ever?
And it wouldn't take much to do better than its story
austere lance
Idk what that is
cinder vessel
Third-person shooter with psychic abilities like telekinesis
austere lance
I might hold off on Remnant for a while tbh, there's enough games coming out on Game Pass in September (mainly Gears 5) to hold me over til Shadowkeep drops for D2 in October
Remnant looks like it's probably gonna be on Game Pass at some point soon anyway, I just have that vibe from it
For reasons unknown to me I'm fantastic at being able to tell if a game is gonna hit Game Pass, lol. Lately I've been right about Kingdom Come Deliverance and Dead Cells 😆
So far I've been wrong about Generation Zero tho, it 100% looks like something Game Pass would snatch up but they haven't yet
cinder vessel
Didn't that turn out to be just kind of...Eh?
Released without much talk, didn't seem to have much going for it, and then they moved on with Rage 2, I think...
austere lance
It had potential til it released and turned out to be PvE PUBG with robots, lol
cinder vessel
...How is that PUBG at all, lol
winter yew
Hey, who is gonna get Modern Warfare on PS4?
cinder vessel
think a couple folks here were hype for it, not sure of platform preference tho
winter yew
I’m hype for it. First CoD I’ve been hyped for, really ever if I’m being honest.
Most of the CoD’s ive gotten were out of obligation rather than excitement
echo hill
ive already bought it for PC
winter yew
I played Modern Warfare 2 when I was 11 and played every CoD except Infinite Warfare
Every game I got because my friends would
This one im getting because god damn it looks great
Gonna buy it on pc and crissplay with friends on ps4
Oh yeah I forgot it has crossplay
You can add people through the game locally
austere lance
@cinder vessel Shooting and movement looked very PUBG-y in all the videos I watched
willow crypt
3 games I really need to play but I don't feel motivated to start: Spiderman, God of War and The Last Guardian
austere lance
How is one not motivated to start the first two, they look fun af. Last Guardian I can understand tho
winter yew
Wanna play GoW too
willow crypt
I know I don't understand myself
Ill play a random indie game I've never heard of instead
austere lance
Not that I can judge, all I play is Gambit in Destiny 2 😆
winter yew
I couldn't get into destiny
Found it bor8jg
Which was weird being that I dropped like 300 hours over summer in Warframe
willow crypt
Yeah it can get pretty meh. I hope they focus more on story in their future campaigns. And longer campaigns as well
Probably will make another jump back into Warframe soon
winter yew
Damn

It's great they're going that route

Sucks that it was ass, lol. I got the deluxe edition for free and still deleted it after a day
winter yew
Still have my ps4 copy downloaded

Crazy how successful the game studio out of Kentucky (where I am) was with Friday the 13th
Similar gameplay
4v1
winter yew
it mooched off dbd
austere lance
It seemed like a good idea til it was actually in motion, lol. Then it was just crap. Only two monsters out of like 6 were useful and if the human team was halfway smart they could hunt you down and kill you within 5 minutes
I never once saw a balanced match in that game, either the monster was being played by a ridiculously good player and wrecked everyone within 6 minutes or the humans were ridiculous and fucked the monster in 5
cinder vessel
Playing through Majora's Mask lately and that game is goood
austere lance
Am a sad lad who started the Zelda series with Wind Waker
cinder vessel
It's making me want to dig into Twilight Princess next, as I think that's one of the few other ones to have a similar vibe to it
Sad? SAD? Wind Waker's one of the best
cinder vessel
And that's coming from someone that started with the supposedly great classic A Link to the Past
Which, incidentally, is also very good
cinder vessel
I haven't played it so I can't say much of it
austere lance
It uh, definitely doesn't feel like any other Zelda games
cinder vessel
I just know Wind Waker's probably my fav. 3D Legend of Zelda, with Majora's Mask quickly getting right up there with it
cinder vessel
I've played through Ocarina of Time right up to the final boss but then just kinda drifted off for whatever reason, and I can only vaguely remember much of it
Majora's Mask is p. screwy
austere lance
There's some fuckin bonkers boss battles
The combat is 😍, which seems weird to say about a Zelda game but fml it's good
Seriously, if you go learn all the sword moves in the game you'll be able to do stuff like Dark Souls parry or supercharged power attacks that you can only do at full health
cinder vessel
A lot of ppl rag on Skyward Sword, but having helped a friend through the final boss fight, I was kind of surprised at how much I liked the motion control swordfighting
HOLY SHIT FINALLY:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXnCZvvOHJw

@winter yew @winter yew yeah Ancestors is just getting relatively negative reviews for one of the two reasons:
- they couldnt understand what the game was, why there's little to no tutorial, and not being impressed with the survival stuff
- those who did get the genius of the game and appreciated it, reviewed that the grind in the game has little to no payoff and it keeps just looping forever as if the game doesn't want you to "evolve" too much
crisp sparrow
it's a pretty neat concept, you having to figure out the game mechanics and all instead of any hand holding
winter yew
Those type of games rarely succeed it's dumb they still make games with no tutorials
@crisp sparrow they specifically say they are not holding anyones hand there will be no guides its about carving your own path and doing the journey of the human evolution; people who are whinning never watched any of the trailers
crisp sparrow
yes but apparently according to reviewers the journey is so slow and repetitive it doesn't feel worth it
as in those reviewers who understood what the game was, like gameranx
winter yew
its supposed to be a game that takes millions of years, being repetitive is in the nature of it
Imagine playing a game for millions of years
let me know when they first develop a cure for death
crisp sparrow
repetitive in the sense that whenever you "evolve" and go past a few thousand years you're still doing the same thing again instead of having some more mechanics to deal with
winter yew
you have a skill tree, you are able to learn skills but you need to reinforce the skills you learn or you lose them that is why people think its so repetitive they never locked in the skills using there reinforce points @crisp sparrow so they restarted from scratch each time
crisp sparrow
ahh that would make sense
winter yew
have to learn the basics before i buy it since theres no guides its only 40 usd so its not like its expensive
visual snow
God damn it
Ive been playing isaac on switch
And i just cant get past the womb now
Used to do it no problem but i dont have much of the stuff unlocked
cinder vessel
Ancestors looked interesting, but not all that enjoyable from what I saw of it
winter yew
I'm torn tbh
It looks fun but it looks the sort of game I'd be bored of after an hour or 2.
charred badge
@cinder vessel ZX on PlayStation just weirds me out.
Would be awesome if it hit steam, though.
cinder vessel
@charred badge these on anything other than a handheld kinda throws me, but I'm so stoked more people will be able to play them now
They're an absolute pain to find these days
cinder vessel
And even there, rare

I murdered several gbas S ranking the first game
cinder vessel
lol
charred badge
The requirements for S ranking zero makes dark souls look easy 😓
cinder vessel
I murdered my hands a little trying to play the DS collection of the Zero games
Like oof, you don't realize how uncomfortable more demanding games can be on a DS
charred badge
No cyber elves. No more than 3 pips of damage per level. Minimum kill count, and speed.
The damage limit isn't raised for the boss rush levels either
You can get one A, iirc
cinder vessel
sounds like a lot of Not Interested, Not Even Gonna Try sort of stuff to me, lol
cinder vessel
reminds me of the beaver race I finished in Majora's Mask last night, holy shit that shouldn't have been made
cinder vessel
It expects near perfection to complete fully, and they put collision on way too much
3DS
charred badge
So you had the easier controls too
charred badge
Imagine if you aimed and flew with the same stick in anthem
cinder vessel
You hit anything and you're screwed
visual snow
Never played either of tyem
cinder vessel
@charred badge i mean that's still sort of how i handled it, lol
the swimming controls just aren't calibrated well enough for precise movement
charred badge
Plus the camera
cinder vessel
mmhmm
And recovering from collision is made worse from both of those things themselves colliding and becoming a mess
crisp sparrow
I thought pubg probably died or something
500k active players is quite a lot than I thought
just a few thousand shy of csgo
austere lance
Just tried Kingdom Come Deliverance, easily one of the worst games I've ever played
Absolute mess of a game with horrid animations, dialogue, and combat
idle saffron
Agreed
austere lance
How tf does it have such high reviews, it feels like a friggin alpha
idle saffron
🤷
austere lance
I didn't trust reviewers much before but now I definitely don't, lol
charred badge
Read the reviews, not just numbers
austere lance
I did, they all say it's a fantastic RPG 😂
charred badge
Starts talking about "not for everyone" or "very technical" it's usually terrible
fallen notch
I'd say "not for everyone" would apply to a certain other game.... As would "like a friggin alpha" 😛
charred badge
Except monster Hunter, where it's actually a legitimate statement.
Not everyone will enjoy the very weighty feel to the character
nova saffron
"Nintendo Hard" is a figure of speech because nintendo used to not make things easier on players ever
Majora's mask was near the end of that era
That beaver race is a great example of their old style of design choices. Make it harder so you had to repeat it 100x to get it right.

Is Far Cry 4 any good? I skipped it and went from 3 to Primal, it's on sale rn tho
idle saffron
I liked it, liked 5 more. Didn't get into primal that much
austere lance
I'm weird and play Far Cry for the stealth stuff, I heard 5 doesn't really have that
nova saffron
i stopped playing farcry when crytek stopped being involved. the guy in 3 on the tv commercials twice a break saying "insane people do the same thing again" annoyed me to all hell so i avoided that series since. from what i understand though, 4 is more of the same from 3 just a culty story deal
idle saffron
You can stealth the same way
Shut down alarms, sneak up and kill discreetly, or from a distance with silenced or arrows
austere lance
3 is easily one of my top games, idk how many times I've played through it but it's a lot 😆
idle saffron
The change I don't like is the step away from the supernatural - I loved the tattoos in 3 - so neat
nova saffron
the marketing annoyed the hell out of me. i can't even play 1min of 3 without being reminded of that stupid definition of insanity quote and getting annoyed
austere lance
I loved Far Cry Instinct, slowly turning into a mutant and fuckin people up was cool as hell

5 and new dawn bring a bit of the abnormal back

Tfw Microsoft fucks up on this Ubisoft sale so it has Far Cry 4 Gold Edition listed for $11 and the standard edition for $13
nova saffron
RIP Crytek anywho. Farcry was their break out title. Cryengine defined a new generation of graphic engines imo
austere lance
Also, why must Ubisoft have Gold Editions and Deluxe Editions of everything
I just want a Far Cry Instinct remaster tbh
idle saffron
Because the consumers have validated that option
Blame the gaming community at large for any price gouging or dlcs locked behind paywalls when they are already in game

I want a sequel to 3. Same island. Killing those pirates was just insanely satisfying

The random dialogue the pirates had was hysterical 😂

Is anyone else excited for borderlands 3? I know it's becoming overhyped at this point but omg I've been waiting. The mantling and sliding is gonna make it feel like borderlands meets wolfenstein/apex

I'm a heathen and don't really like Borderlands, lol
Ya boy only has three looter games he's ever liked and none of the Borderlands games are on that list
Remnant looks interesting tho

I’ve been having some trouble with some KSP modding things: What fuels can up the ISP/TWR of the SRBs and Hybrid engines, and what the LF/Ox ratio is.
A similar problem comes up with adding tripropellant engines: these use a small amount of LH2 at launch, and eventually switch completely to Hydrolox from LF/Ox. How would the ratios of LF/LH2/Ox be?
If anyone knows about this, please ping me.
