cinder vessel
#

Lol I haven't either, been running through side quests

austere lance
#

Talk to everyone with a name

cinder vessel
#

gotta find'em first

willow crypt
#

Yeah the sidequests are worthwhile

cinder vessel
#

sorta

#

one of the first ones is kinda meh besides meeting some folks

austere lance
#

Yeah but those folks also have quests ๐Ÿ˜†

cinder vessel
#

some

willow crypt
#

The interactions and dialogue just seem improved and more natural over previous titles

cinder vessel
#

tbh kinda surprised at how some early convos have somewhat high skill checks

austere lance
#

Yep. Gotta start your build early

cinder vessel
#

that's dumb, can't you just revisit later?

willow crypt
#

If I have a low perception and can't say something I just eat something that raises, plus you could hold onto clothing that raises different skills

austere lance
#

Yee, did the clothing thing earlier to pass a Persuasion check

willow crypt
#

Had to with Topson

cinder vessel
#

Uhh, not sure if I have much of anything to do that sorta stuff yet

#

Mostly just have some basic stuff so far

willow crypt
#

must e splore

cinder vessel
#

Have been but keep finding a lot of the same stuff, lol

austere lance
#

I just went into the game knowing I was gonna try to talk my way through stuff and that having high medical/scientific skills seemed smart for a space RPG, so I mostly invested in those right off the bat

#

Didn't bother putting points into Leadership, Melee, or the skill with dodging and blocking

cinder vessel
#

I went more stealth/tech kinda stuff, but I always put a dash here & there to even things out

willow crypt
#

Staying pretty even overall

cinder vessel
#

Never an all-in sort, used to that screwing me over

austere lance
#

Some conversations that require checks can be backed out of and came back to later, had to do that for the Persuade check and put gear on to boost it

willow crypt
#

Yeah

#

Can easily go level up and put your points into whatcha need

austere lance
#

Or eat food that boosts stats temporarily

#

Caffeinated stuff boosts Mind attributes by 5

cinder vessel
#

lol

#

I've never been able to decide how I feel about those kinds of systems in RPGs

#

I get the sense Outer Worlds threads the needle, but if you wobble even a bit it risks giving the sense that if you wear the right stuff and gobble down enough, leveling matters less, which is extremely lol

austere lance
#

Nah, you'd have to waste forever hoarding gear and spend waaaaay too much time in menus munching food to make it worth it ๐Ÿ˜†

cinder vessel
#

would be hilarious to see a RPG play off that idea though, of the imposter trying to outcompete the trained & experienced by constantly stealing clothes & stuffing their face with drugs & foods

willow crypt
#

good idea

austere lance
crisp sparrow
#

I've never played any fps games, so one of my friends suggested that I play black ops 1
Good god it is so intense and honestly disturbing

#

I'm definitely not cut out for this

austere lance
#

Never played an FPS???

crisp sparrow
#

Nope, I grew up without a gaming pc

#

At most I had played wolfenstein 3d

austere lance
#

Dammit Discord

#

Stop lagging

crisp sparrow
#

After that it's been a bit of warframe and destiny 2

austere lance
#

New Wolfenstein games are fun

#

Destiny 2 is good too

daring spear
#

I love Destiny 2

crisp sparrow
#

Idk after playing this I'm feeling done with the whole shooting thing

#

I feel like I'm gonna puke rn

daring spear
#

Black Ops goes hard as fuck on the disturbing level. Not a lot of FPS games are that uh

#

Yeah

crisp sparrow
#

I got to the Vietnam war part, it's just so loud all the time with no downtime at all and I'm calling for air support that absolutely mowed down all the soldiers who were crying like anything

#

I get its realistic so I'm not complaining about the game but at this point I'm not enjoying it

daring spear
#

I've always preferred less realistic shooters

crisp sparrow
#

Gonna sleep now hopefully no nightmares

daring spear
#

I wish you luck. Good night

austere lance
#

Hell yes, got the fourth science weapon

brisk merlin
#

i had 7

cinder vessel
#

My eyes are still getting used to the stupid levels of detail in Outer Worlds, which is silly considering it's not even comparable to some other games which go further, and also it's not like I skipped a generation of consoles so it's not like I'm getting adjusted from PS2 to PS4

austere lance
#

Those aren't my pics, my 1080p TV doesn't do the game justice ๐Ÿ˜†

bronze wind
#

Think I'm gonna do a melee build

austere lance
#

Do it, it's surprisingly viable

#

Plus there's plenty of fun melee weapons xD

#

Tossball bats great gandalf

bronze wind
#

Everything is viable lol, I played a high tech plus mid ranged and melee and you just get to a point where everything kills anything in like 3 seconds

#

I'm gonna do the melee build on Hard instead to try and make it more interesting

#

Beat the game last night so gonna try to do opposite paths this time so I don't get bored

winter yew
#

I'm doing a balanced run atm. Second run I'm doing supernova + melee + no companions

cinder vessel
#

Supernova seems like it'd be really annoying tbh

winter yew
#

I've had one glitch so far that was kinda disappointing.

#

I got a "botched" mission cause someone died, even though she's my main companion and quite far from dead.

cinder vessel
#

I kinda wonder if they're gonna add some QOL touches so you aren't constantly raising your weapon at people when trying to talk to them, lol

#

I can open doors without that issue, but people? Pfft, CHECK OUT MY WEAPON

bronze wind
#

Supernova is kinda stupid, not a fan

#

Hard mode is probably enough for me

winter yew
#

I accidentally ruined my MSI standing cause I accidentally shot someone, the whole town jumped on me and then my companions defended me and each kill dropped my rep further.

bronze wind
#

Supernova with no companions seems easier than with them lol

cinder vessel
#

Also really nice touch on the Saltuna factory being empty at night but populated during the day

bronze wind
#

There are a lot of continuity issues lol, but nothing too crazy

cinder vessel
#

Didn't expect that tbh and was like, "wait why is this empty"

bronze wind
#

I was on a mission and an NPC was on my ship, it told me to leave for a bit to let them talk to someone else on my ship, and I went to where they normally are and they were still there lol

#

Maybe long lost twin

winter yew
#

Yeah that's a little annoying.
I've had a companion with me that I've needed to specifically go onto my ship to talk to them.

cinder vessel
#

Btw, is there a way to disarm the landmines? I'm guessing no, but ๐Ÿคท

winter yew
#

Shoot

cinder vessel
#

But i wanna pick'em up and use'em myself ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

winter yew
#

๐Ÿ˜ฉ

bronze wind
#

I noticed the lack of grenades tbh

#

Not the end of the world but it's a bit odd lol

winter yew
#

On a whole though, I'm very much enjoying it.

cinder vessel
#

Reminds me of when I went in the back of the community center and found a room with a window and a barred door, so I tried to smash through the window and nope

bronze wind
#

Yeah it's good

#

The characters are very likable

cinder vessel
#

I can't say I entirely expected that to work, but I had to try

bronze wind
#

It's like standing in fire

cinder vessel
#

Yeah

bronze wind
#

Gotta try it once

winter yew
#

Like stepping outside the barrier on Scylla.

cinder vessel
#

Although I didn't try shooting the window, 'cause didn't wanna alert goons

winter yew
#

Or however it's spelled.

cinder vessel
#

So maybe shooting woulda worked...But doubtful

bronze wind
#

I didn't try that actually

winter yew
#

Yeah, don't. ๐Ÿ˜›

bronze wind
#

๐Ÿ˜ณ

#

Now I'm gonna

austere lance
#

You can go outside the barrier, lol?

winter yew
#

Yes

#

I thought it was gunna be a solid wall tbh

#

Nah, I walked right through it.

cinder vessel
#

Is there a jump boost thing at some point? I saw a hole in the wall of a two-floor building & have been wondering about if I can get up there

winter yew
#

Not upwards but forwards.

cinder vessel
#

Hmm

#

Maybe there's an underground entrance into the place

#

How the fuck did I go with "but" there, lol

bronze wind
#

I'm assuming you die

#

Late message lol

winter yew
bronze wind
#

But yeah probably a way to get there later

winter yew
#

I'm sure this has already been pointed out

austere lance
#

Issa Vex

#

That's a damn Harpy, lol

winter yew
#

LMAO

#

totally reminded me of Destiny 2 when I had to fight that thing ๐Ÿ˜

austere lance
#

Or a Fallen Servitor got a little too friendly with a Vex Harpy and made that ๐Ÿ˜ณ

#

What the actual fuck is the UI for that game, why is there a ton of stuff on top of the screen

winter yew
#

those are all the items you've picked up

#

they each do different things

cinder vessel
#

Risk of Rain is "effects, the game!"

winter yew
#

pretty fun and addicting

#

definitely a game you want to play with people in voice chat though so you can be fair with pick-ups and decide who gets what to maximize each player's class and abilties

#

I spent most of the day unlocking all the currently playable survivor characters, I'm enjoying the Mercenary the most

austere lance
winter yew
#

owo

#

wtf

austere lance
#

If you dislike Game Pass I bet you'll LOVE this ๐Ÿ˜‚

winter yew
#

Who the fuck is paying a monthly fee for a console?

#

๐Ÿค”

#

This is crazy talk.

austere lance
#

Strange people

#

This is the second time they've done this

winter yew
#

๐Ÿ˜

light cairn
#

you keep the console once you pay it off

winter yew
#

I am both surprised and not at the same time.

#

Ahhhh ok.

austere lance
#

Now you can upgrade from the One X to the Scarlet when it releases if you're on the One X subscription

winter yew
#

That makes most sense tbf. That's no different to running up a credit card debt.

#

I hope nobody is getting themselves into debt just to play games tbh

#

But I get it at the same time, it's a reason for most people.

#

All work and no play is just depressing.

#

I guess the upgrade is nice.

cinder vessel
#

All debt, all work, and minimal play is even worse ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

winter yew
#

Absolutely

bronze wind
#

It's just an affordable way to offer it

austere lance
#

$35 a month for a One X, XBL Gold, and Game Pass sounds weird

cinder vessel
#

wait what do they do if you can't pay, do they also take back the console? ๐Ÿค”

bronze wind
#

Spread the cost out rather than a lump sum

#

I assume there would be credit checks, and if you failed to pay they could send it to collections

winter yew
#

Sure but it ends up super expensive that way, is a lot cheaper to save and then purchase.

#

But I understand. =\

bronze wind
#

Is it actually more expensive? Pretty sure the last time it was the same price

austere lance
#

24 months at $35 a month

bronze wind
#

Yeah for multiple things

#

How much is gold per month?

#

With game pass

austere lance
#

$15

bronze wind
#

So it's really $20

#

Per month

#

How much is the one x?

austere lance
#

People actually pay full price for it, lol?

winter yew
#

XB1X is ยฃ299 here now.

#

$30.99 on the all access thing.

#

Which is $743

cinder vessel
#

Not everyone can be assed to keep an eye out for deals on sub junk, lol

bronze wind
#

Not just for the console

#

You get gold and gamepass too

winter yew
#

Yeah which gamepass + that in itself is a great incentive for new owners tbh

bronze wind
#

I think it's still more expensive but not like 2x as much

winter yew
#

Clearly a market for it for them to reintroduce I guess.

cinder vessel
#

Tbh I'm always suspicious when they start tossing up all these different payment methods for things

bronze wind
#

For people with smaller monthly paychecks it's viable

cinder vessel
#

Because it can make it really easy to hide where it may cost more, not always, but sometimes

bronze wind
#

Eh in this case I don't think it's very hidden

#

I'm curious what the policy on broken consoles would be tho

austere lance
#

You buy it

#

I remember it saying that last time, you break it you buy it

bronze wind
#

Right but like defects I'd hope there'd be warranty

winter yew
#

TBH, I just did a super quick work out. XB1X + 2 years Game Pass Ultimate works out to around the same price to buy it outright.

bronze wind
#

And even if that, where's the line

#

See that's what I thought it was when they announced this previously

winter yew
#

So yeah, doesn't look like Microsoft is making anything on this.

bronze wind
#

They make more because more people can afford it I'd imagine

#

More accessible ways to purchase means more purchases

winter yew
#

oy, just got an email about Star Citizen doing a Free Fly until November 3rd but when I click the link it takes me directly to where you have to buy a starter pack ๐Ÿ˜

#

Yeah I'm having the same problem.

#

I'm gunna ignore it and try again tomorrow.

austere lance
#

Sounds about right, lol

bronze wind
#

"oh we meant free if you buy it"

winter yew
#

LMAO

bronze wind
#

It's relatively free vs buying anything else in the game

winter yew
#

mmmyea

#

I think I'll just go buy Rebel Galaxy Outlaw on EGS at that point

austere lance
#

If your game has 300 million dollars shoved in it with little to no results than maybe the starter pack seems free in comparison, lol. Gotta get on the dev's 1000 IQ level to understand

bronze wind
#

I bought that and didn't enjoy it, returned it and I could still play it after the return went through. For like a week or something lol.

#

I didn't play tho

winter yew
#

fun

#

I enjoyed Rebel Galaxy a bit

#

I know this one is slightly different

bronze wind
#

Very

#

Control scheme is extremely different

#

More like ED

#

Partially why I didn't like it, not a fan of the "reroute power to specific systems" control system

austere lance
#

God I hate that crap in ED

winter yew
#

OH yes

bronze wind
#

It's in RGO too unfortunately

winter yew
#

yuck

austere lance
#

Cuz ships in the future totally wouldn't be able to do that on their own, right?

winter yew
#

apparently they made the game controller friendly because the dev likes to play with an Xbox controller

bronze wind
#

I tried and it didn't help much tbh

winter yew
#

thinking

#

That makes me wonder how people play ED on PS4

#

(EDF IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT GAME LMAO)

austere lance
#

Absolutely ridiculous to think that space ships that far in the future would have friggin buttons that instantly switch to combat mode or whatever, obviously it makes more sense to fuckin transfer power yourself every 3 seconds ๐Ÿ˜ค ๐Ÿ˜ค ๐Ÿ˜ค ๐Ÿ˜ค

winter yew
#

right

#

NMS Has none of that garbage

#

Just fire your weapons and recharge your stuff as needed

austere lance
#

I'm waiting for ED to finally die, the devs lied again and booted back fleet carriers another few months

winter yew
#

....

austere lance
#

No useful content in god knows how long, fleet carriers delayed, every decent way of making money nerfed to the ground........gg devs

#

Don't worry, half the game is locked behind a paywall still tho!

winter yew
willow crypt
#

๐Ÿ‘Ž

oak token
#

yeah

#

cleet farriers delayed

#

so sad

#

:c

#

remember when they teased it?

#

or not teased

#

like a full on reveal trailer

brisk merlin

#

star citizen free event

raven frost
#

holy shit they're just releasing 3.7?...

#

I don't know how long its been since I decided to just stop caring about SC but I'm pretty sure 3.6 had been out for a while

#

what does 3.7 add?

#

... oh wow some of this is impressive

#

but I've said that in the past, and I don't feel like downloading ~100GB worth of game tonight

#

also in the scale of things this doesn't look like it's been worth the wait

austere lance
cinder vessel
#

should get those shoulders checked out

willow crypt
#

And the hat

cinder vessel
#

i'm picking apart edgewater after another tech manual thing ๐Ÿ‘€

austere lance
#

Control is $33 on Amazon rn

cinder vessel
#

is good

willow crypt
#

I love ADA's angry face

austere lance
wet warren

Lol

willow crypt
austere lance
#

I love ADA ๐Ÿ˜‚

K

iron inlet
#

Supernova playthrouth complete

idle saffron
#

Nice!

crisp sparrow
#

new Radeon update adds better support for The Outer Worlds

#

but it breaks one thing

#

"Known Issues
The Outer Worlds may experience character models being rendered incorrectly on the inventory screen."

cinder vessel
#

oof

#

Speaking of, though, I swear the character creator lighting doesn't match the inventory lighting

#

I thought I had made my character a paler complexion, but once started, they appear more tan, & I'm convinced it's all down to the lighting to some degree

#

but it's whatevs all things considering

#

Not like you see the character anyway

lavish obsidian
#

i love the fact that parvati/tali-esque engineer characters are the new waifus of the rpg community

willow crypt
#

Yeah the lighting is inconsistent when viewing items like weapons and armor

#

Sometimes it looks good, sometimes it's not bright enough

#

It kinda sucks there's no quicksave option. That was one of the benefits of the fallout/elder scrolls games. Elex had it as well.

raven frost
#

I thought there was?

#

A buddy of mine said it was F5

willow crypt
#

Nothing on consoles

full pivot
willow crypt
full pivot
#

Theyd have to waste a whole button for saving, plus you could hit it accidently while dying

#

You have to reach for F5

willow crypt
#

It's so far away

#

Especially for console players

full pivot
#

Its far enough

iron inlet
#

Yeah there's no quicksave

#

At least not on Supernova there isn't

#

Now that I've finished Supernova I can do some stupid builds and have stupid fun

#

Tanky idiot

willow crypt
#

Ha nice

#

I want to try that if not just for a little while once I finish

iron inlet
#

I did silver tongued rogue for Supernova, this should be fun for a normal playthrough

austere lance
#

Barbarian playthrough, lol. All melee and defense ๐Ÿ˜†

crisp sparrow
#

so is this a good move or nah

#

I wont be playing their games anyway

austere lance
willow crypt
full pivot
#

there's irony here somewhere

austere lance
cinder vessel
#

@lavish obsidian wait engineer women weren't always the best in RPGs (and basically every game)?

austere lance
#

(And Firefly)

#

So with the whole "EA/Steam partnership" thing happening do y'all think the Dead Space and Mass Effect trilogies will be on Steam soon?

idle saffron
#

Yes

iron inlet
#

They added dialogue options that are shown by [Dumb] if you took low intelligence and I fuckung love it

#

My crew thinks I'm an idiot, but a loveable idiot

idle saffron
#

So, like discord?

#

OOOOOO

meager panther
#

I accidentally fired one of my science weapons in the groundbreaker

#

Everyone kept firing me

#

So i did what i had to do

#

Killed everyone there except for the guy who stands sells the pass at the entry

#

That guy was really nice. I went to kill him but he didn't shoot me. So i let him live

austere lance
#

LOL

#

Gamer is experiencing the game like an absolute unit ๐Ÿ˜†

meager panther
#

Lol

#

It was accidental

#

I got the mind ray gun and was holstering it and it fired

#

Then it was chaos

idle saffron
#

Accidentally shot 48 people?

meager panther
#

Now whole place is empty

#

Yep

#

47

idle saffron
#

I'm not buying it, guilty!

meager panther
#

One guy is alive

#

No accidentally shot 1 person

#

But i killed the 46 others

idle saffron
#

So you are a monster

#

MONSTER

#

Did anyone else have a problem with getting the companion mission from Felix?

iron inlet
#

I killed all the iconoclasts, and then I had to kill them anyway for the MSI quest lmao

idle saffron
#

Mine autofails when I take it

iron inlet
#

I haven't ever kept Felix alive long enough to get his companion mission

#

Maybe you killed someone important to his quest

idle saffron
#

Nah, I googled

iron inlet
#

Gleam you should do a supernova playthrough btw

idle saffron
#

Haven't been where his quest takes me, or interacted with anyone where I have been able to go that should affect it

iron inlet
#

How odd

idle saffron
#

Only killed marauders and fauna

meager panther
#

Felix has been travelling with me

#

I did one mission with him

#

On that asteroid

iron inlet
#

Parvati got real mad at me for killing Tobson ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

idle saffron
#

I can follow the questline and get the various dialogue like it isn't botched, but no xp or rewards

iron inlet
#

But there was a [DUMB] option and it saved my bacon

#

The option was literally like "[Dumb] Sorry, sometimes I just get so confused."

meager panther
#

i had to use google to get the science weapons since i killed gladys

idle saffron
#

Lol

meager panther
#

And now that i murdered the whole station, idk how many missions i have to google here after lol

iron inlet
#

Knowing where the science weapons are makes the next playthroughs so easy

#

Don't have to look for information or anything

#

Literally just go get them

#

Also on my Supernova playthrough I had to kill like 6 Mega Mantiqueens and boy that is not fun

#

Regular Mantisaurs are hard on SN, Mantiqueens even more so

idle saffron
#

MEGA

iron inlet
#

Mega Mantiqueens? Might as well just give up

meager panther
#

You complete the sanjar mission. You will get a 800dps weapon

#

Thats my favorite weapon noe

#

Now*

#

I put all my points to heavy weapon skill too

#

So its perfect

#

Most enemies die in 1 shot

#

And mantiqueen dies in like 20 bullets of it

iron inlet
#

I just ran away a lot and shot them with N-Ray weapons

#

And then ran away some more

#

TTD and N-Ray is a life saver on SN

#

And God once you get the Mind Control Ray? That gun is OP on SN

#

Because whilst it takes you like 10+ shots to kill an enemy

#

It only takes one from an enemy being mind controller

meager panther
#

Yeah i did that when i initially went to monarch
I just ran through the entire place without firing lol

iron inlet
#

It's nice once you kill everything on Monarch, most things don't respawn

#

Some fauna does but outlaws and marauders dont

#

Same for Automechanicals

meager panther
#

Oh that is nice i guess

iron inlet
#

Then Monarch is slightly more bearable

meager panther
#

I actually am planning to murder the salvage unit in the freelook city

iron inlet
#

But overall on SN, fuck Monarch

#

And FUCK Tartarus on SN

#

That's like, every time you die you have to replay 30 minutes because there's no save points in SN on that planet

meager panther
#

Terra monarch and sylla only i have unlocked so far

iron inlet
#

Scylla is a fun little place

#

Monarch is honestly probably my favourite place

#

I hope we unlock some more planets in the DLC to come

#

Like Hephaestus and Olympus

meager panther
#

I want more worlds

#

I guess i am like 50% through the story mode

#

11 hours in

iron inlet
#

I beat the story in that much time ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

#

I didn't even rush, I did quite a few side quest

austere lance
#

I'm 16 hours in and just finished everything on Monarch ๐Ÿ˜†

#

Including the Cascadia bullshit with the expensive gas

#

I'm trying to finish every side thing before I leave a planet, only things I haven't done are a couple Tasks that look suspiciously like filler

idle saffron
#

The size of the update is 81gb

#

....

austere lance
#

For what?

idle saffron
#

COD

#

Install

#

Day one patch I guess

austere lance
#

Holy shit

idle saffron
#

Campaign pack 1 and 2 , multiplayer pack, special ops pack

winter yew
#

I completed TOW today.

#

Nice game, I'll be going back to do a second run for sure.

idle saffron
#

You guys are way faster than me

winter yew
#

I didn't really rush it, I did the side objectives that I came across first.

idle saffron
winter yew
#

I wish there was a photomode ๐Ÿ˜ญ

echo hill
#

oh god damn

winter yew
#

That's on normal, I saw literal no difference between normal/high/v.high and ultra.

#

Textures that is I mean.

echo hill
#

thats pretty impressive

winter yew
#

I'd share more but that's the least spoilery screenshot I have.

echo hill
#

hows it run on pc?

winter yew
#

No problem at all, my computer hasn't even run hot.

#

Colder side of warm.

#

I'll be grabbing it on Steam for sure, I'm hoping/assuming that there'll be DLC by then too.

idle saffron
winter yew
#

๐Ÿ‘Œ

idle saffron
#

I'm hoping this is an intro to a freaking galaxy wide game - sequel could be massive

winter yew
#

Would be easy enough to do tbh. Skip drive to a new star system. ๐Ÿคท

iron inlet
#

There are literally so many builds I want to do in this game

#

Gonna play so much of it

winter yew
#

I have a theory about the in game universe that I'll share once more people have played.

iron inlet
#

Learnt today that max level is 30

winter yew
#

Yes

idle saffron
#

๐Ÿ’”

iron inlet
#

Kinda expected it to be higher

winter yew
#

But it doesn't affect anything really.

idle saffron
#

70 more points

winter yew
#

I also took far too long to find out that I can tinker with my guns and armor to increase stats.

iron inlet
#

I mean you can technically get unlimited perks

#

Well not unlimited unlimited

idle saffron
#

Like 10

iron inlet
#

Hex it took me until || Killing Adjutant Akande || to learn that

#

I'm not sure how many flaws you can take

winter yew
#

I facepalmed so hard.

iron inlet
#

Originally on Supernova you were forced to take flaws but they removed that thank god

#

It'd make it unplayable

idle saffron
#

That would be hilarious

winter yew
#

I also stupidly accepted a flaw early on that dropped my movement speed 30% and I lost the ability to jump dodge.

iron inlet
#

Oh yikes

winter yew
#

Yeah very yikes

iron inlet
#

I took one today on my dumbass character that was -1 to mind attributes

#

My character already was -1 in mind attributes

#

He's SUPER brain dead now

winter yew
#

I "assumed" wrongly that there'd be some sort of in game item that would allow me to cancel it out at some point or I'd gain it back.

#

Nup

iron inlet
#

Yeah

#

The worst ones are the phobia ones

winter yew
#

I declined them all.

iron inlet
#

You do like 30% damage to each enemy type

#

It's disgustingly bad

#

But hey, perks amirite

idle saffron
#

Acrophobia is one

iron inlet
#

Yeah

#

Robophobia too

idle saffron
#

Lol

iron inlet
#

I had Mantiphobia offered to me

#

I was like nah mate they already take shit ton to kill

idle saffron
#

You can get something for taking a bunch of leg damage also, forget the name though

winter yew
#

Paranoia is the only one I can remember being offered, I didn't pay attention to any of them after my legs got fucked up.

#

The leg damage one is the one I accepted.

iron inlet
#

I got permanent cranial damage

idle saffron
#

Lol

iron inlet
#

Or something like that

#

Shot in the head too many times

#

There's some addict ones too iirc

#

Take too many drugs and you can get a flaw that literally makes you worthless if you're not high

winter yew
#

I personally found the inhaler things for health to easy to find, I didn't drop below x80 once I passed level 10.

iron inlet
#

Man they were super rare on Supernova

#

I only had a surplus at the very end of the game

#

Because you're using like 5 every fight on Supernova

winter yew
#

I'll be running Supernova next, I had the urge to play FO:NV again so I started that again today.

iron inlet
#

Understandably

winter yew
#

I'll go back to TOW once I've finished this run of NV.

#

TOW is gunna be a contender for my personal GOTY.

iron inlet
#

Supernova is stupid fun but don't even think about keeping any companions around

idle saffron
#

It is up there for me also

iron inlet
#

They will die

idle saffron
#

NO

winter yew
#

I had a game bug that really pissed me off.

idle saffron
#

Parvati will never die

iron inlet
#

Parvati died before I even got my power regulator

#

She died in the first fight she was in

idle saffron
#

I'll reload and lose hours

iron inlet
#

Supernova is cruel

winter yew
#

I was doing Parvati's companion mission and it failed cause she died.

#

She was part of my team and very much alive.

idle saffron
#

My Felix mission autofails when I accept it

iron inlet
#

Oh yikes

idle saffron
#

Still get the permissions for the landing pad, and dialogue, but says botched

iron inlet
#

Parvati is my favourite companion

#

Parvati and SAM

#

Asexual Lesbian and Robobro

winter yew
#

I did Parvati + Max until I got the alcoholic with pink hair that I don't remember her name.

idle saffron
#

I was gonna name my band that

iron inlet
#

Nyoka

winter yew
#

Yes

#

She

iron inlet
#

She also died immediately on Supernova

winter yew
#

๐Ÿ˜ฉ

iron inlet
#

SAM lasted the longest

idle saffron
#

I like how she gets drunk on the ship

winter yew
#

ADA sounded bored telling you she's drunk again.

iron inlet
#

ADA is best girl

#

Tbh

austere lance
#

You guys are making a good argument for me never leaving Normal, lol. I hate hard difficulties in games ๐Ÿ˜†

iron inlet
#

ADA and || Hope || having a conversation was hilarious

#

"ADA, is your captain going to make a manual skip jump inside the system?"

"yes, that is exactly what my captain is going to do"

winter yew
iron inlet
#

Because there was an option for if you had 80 Engineering and Intelligence that you could make the skip jump manually

#

And surprisingly I had that

idle saffron
#

I have been introducing myself as Captain Hawthorn

#

Anyone else?

austere lance
#

Nope

iron inlet
#

Name yourself Alex Hawthorne

winter yew
iron inlet
#

I wonder if the game has any special dialogue if you actually name yourself Alex Hawthorne

idle saffron
#

Lol

iron inlet
#

Vicar Max ๐Ÿคข

#

Worst companion

austere lance
#

I'm Captain Kvothe, lol

idle saffron
#

HUD ๐Ÿคข

winter yew
#

His companion mission was my favourite tbh

iron inlet
#

Fucking FRENCH?

#

I can't fucking read fucking french!

winter yew
#

๐Ÿ‘Œ

idle saffron
#

I want to take SAM on that one

iron inlet
#

My favourite line of the whole game

austere lance
#

All my companions wear heavy armor and use heavy weapons, lol

winter yew
#

I didn't take SAM out with me at all.

idle saffron
#

I have them in pink armor

iron inlet
#

SAM is op

austere lance
#

SAM is God

iron inlet
#

SAM and Nyoka is the OP team

austere lance
#

All my companions use heavy guns and two handed melee weapons xD

#

Sam and Nyoka are hysterical, lol

iron inlet
#

Companions don't need ammo so I give them science weapons

#

Parvati has my shrink ray

#

Felix has the gloop gun

idle saffron
#

I gave everyone but Nyoka ultra assault rifles

austere lance
#

Science weapons don't do dick for damage tho

idle saffron
#

Tinker

winter yew
#

^

#

I was level 20 when I found out I could tinker. ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

idle saffron
#

๐Ÿ˜ฑ

winter yew
#

I know!

idle saffron
#

I was level 1

winter yew
#

I can only imagine how powerful my equipment could have been.

idle saffron
#

I'm aiming for the science skill level 80 attribute

winter yew
#

Oh damn, very nice.

idle saffron
#

Tinker coat for science weapons capped

#

Cost*

winter yew
#

My stats are balanced.

idle saffron
#

I put nothing into melee or dodge/block

winter yew
#

I'm throwing everything into melee and nothing else on my next playthrough.

#

๐Ÿ˜ฌ

idle saffron
#

HEX SMASH

winter yew
#

I do want to take my time exploring a little more next time, I didn't even see if I could climb the volcano.

idle saffron
#

||You can't ||

winter yew
#

Expected

austere lance
#

Barbarian playthrough with minimal everything but melee ๐Ÿ˜†

idle saffron
#

I'm going to be a sneak thief

#

I will loot everything in every town

#

MINE

austere lance
#

Or be a charismatic barbarian who only does melee and speech ๐Ÿ˜‚

winter yew
#

I think a sneaky thief could be a nice playthrough tbh

idle saffron
#

I'm leaving a ton of cash laying around with my Mr Nice Guy playthrough, I know that

winter yew
#

I always do a mr nice guy first run.

#

Even in Fallout.

#

Well, any game I have the option.

idle saffron
#

Me too

#

Taste the Freedom

winter yew
#

Did you meet the NPC of that dude?

idle saffron
austere lance
#

I can't fuckin wait, all my stats are going into melee and charm gandalf

winter yew
#

He was such a joy to speak to.

idle saffron
#

I like all the characters

#

Good writing

austere lance
#

Smooth-talking barbarians deserve more love, lol

daring spear
#

@austere lance that's basically what I'm doing

austere lance
#

Somebody should make their character look exactly like Phineas and do a 100% Intelligence build

winter yew
#

Then claim the bounty on yourself.

idle saffron
#

Can you turn him in? Never tried the dialogue options about that

winter yew
#

I didn't try either.

#

Each time I had the chance I ignored it.

idle saffron
#

Would make for a short game, so probably not

winter yew
#

I assumed it would be something like Farcry 4 where you could finish the game immediately.

idle saffron
#

Lol

austere lance
#

There's an ending where you ||turn him in but not right off the bat||

idle saffron
#

Back in a few

austere lance
#

That's the evil ||side with corporations|| ending

winter yew
#

Have fun Gleam.

iron inlet
#

Yeah you can, but it still plays out the whole game

austere lance
#

I'm sure the good ending will be the canon ending for the sequel

willow crypt
#

yeah i wonder if you can turn Phineas in right away. don't want to try

#

i want to save the moon head man

austere lance
#

||You can't turn him in right away||

cinder vessel
#

btw is there a way to peacefully walk among the marauders? like if you wear their full outfit that won't do the trick, will it?

austere lance
#

I have no idea, I just kill em on sight ๐Ÿ˜†

cinder vessel
#

||there's a quest where it would be advantageous to not have to do that, is why i ask||

willow crypt
#

try it

cinder vessel
#

i only got the final piece I needed afterward, lol

willow crypt
#

oops

cinder vessel
#

and it was, uh, through them

iron inlet
#

On my dumbfuck playthrough I haven't even reached Monarch and I'm already level 15. Crazy

ripe frost
#

other games are blasphemy

cinder vessel
#

no u

willow crypt
#

yes u

austere lance
#

I opened an Epic Mystery Grab Bag and got a fuckin Tangled Shore cloak

willow crypt
#

I hope Tess gets captured by the vex

#

Actually

#

I have no problem with her now that it's F2P

cinder vessel
#

okay so does Outer Worlds have any catchy muzak that gets jammed in ur brain wriggles?

#

because what critique of capitalism can exist without that

willow crypt
#

Spacers choice currently is the most catchy, but overall nothing is stuck in my head

cinder vessel
#

yeah, i'm kinda waiting to get to the more consumer facing locales to see if I notice anything

#

oh outta nowhere, but @bronze wind, you had found grenade launchers in Outer Worlds, yeah?

austere lance
#

They exist, yeah

bronze wind
#

Yee

cinder vessel
#

gotcha, just know ya mentioned noticing the absence of grenades and was wondering if you'd found those

bronze wind
#

Yeah not the same thing

willow crypt
#

Grenades are the same as grenade launchers

bronze wind
#

Not really, grenade launchers in this game are just rocket launchers with an arc

#

Being able to throw a grenade and not have it take up an entire weapon slot and detonate immediately isnt what I was looking for lol

austere lance
echo hill
#

jesus christ wtf

#

one shot to the head i assume

austere lance
#

Hopefully, lol

echo hill
#

yeah no kidding

austere lance
#

Short range snipers are absolutely heinous too, they one-hit anywhere

#

Revoker is disgusting

echo hill
#

i want revoker so bad

#

im too lazy tho lol

brisk merlin
#

xenophage is good exotic kinda

austere lance
#

I've heard it's not worth doing the quest and shoulda just been tossed in the loot pool

brisk merlin
#

its not that bad

#

its worth the quest

#

its a fun quest

willow crypt
#

@bronze wind was kidding

bronze wind
#

kid me

austere lance
#

๐Ÿ˜ณ

willow crypt
#

That's illegal

light cairn
#

momentum control is absolutely golden for scout rifles, i'm loving it

willow crypt
#

What the heck

#

There were a bunch of wooly cows on the unreliable and now they're gone

austere lance
#

WHAT

brisk merlin
#

oops i opened the airlock

#

sorry

willow crypt
#

Np

austere lance
#

Random wooly cows on the ship is probably a Firefly reference, lol

brisk merlin
#

No

#

I just wanted some fresh milk

#

The woolly cow part was because I like hair in my milk

#

It adds texture

#

And I like the feeling of pulling it out from my throat

willow crypt
#

Oh really

#

Well that's amazing

#

Sick kev

charred badge
#

hmm

full pivot
#

Game should just be free by now haha

wild oyster
#

main reason i don't care for the game, only alpha and still expensive

wild oyster
#

so i just read in fallout 76 there is now war between premium and non premium players

full pivot
#

Because people not paying for a shitty game yet still playing it are mad at other people for paying to play it because they possibly enjoy it for whatever reason.

#

Bout sums it up

#

Instead of the angry people idk... Not playing a game they hate so much

idle saffron
#

What!? Then what would they whine about?

#

I'm one of the weirdos that plays a game, and then if I don't like it - I stop playing that game

wild oyster
#

it's more about that player that pay suscrption get something

#

like being able to make your own server

#

which was always promised but never told you will need to pay for it

#

dunno if there are also other features hidden behind suscrption

#

also people think it's to expensive compared to other games with more content

#

something like that

full pivot
#

People can spend their money on whatever they want

wild oyster
#

and since premium player get an icon they are easy to hunt

full pivot
#

None of this makes attacking premium players any less petty or silly haha

wild oyster
#

they want to rebel

#

some also put up signs telling people to boycot the company

full pivot
#

"Rebel" lol

#

Its very rebellious hating on a popularly hated game ๐Ÿ˜

#

Its nice to see people taking an avante garde stance

wild oyster
#

humans can be like that

crisp sparrow
#

Outer worlds running fantastic now

iron inlet
#

That's a very balanced character, I'm surprised honestly

#

You don't see many balanced characters

bronze wind
#

I played a balanced character for my first run

#

Makes the game very easy honestly

crisp sparrow
#

I wasnt going for balanced but just me_irl

raven frost
#

nice cock

crisp sparrow
#

So are the marauders negotiable any time or they're just pretty much animals?

raven frost
#

some are, throughout different parts of the story

rigid sedge
#

xenophage not that good

#

but you can still collect it

#

the rpm is pepolice

#

sure the damage is strong but the practically is something similar to the leviathan breath

#

means kinda useless lLOllL

austere lance
#

I like how RPM=victory in fights during Momentum Control, lol. Unless we're talking scouts, then it's the opposite

#

Fuck, I just learned that you can get the ||Iconoclasts and MSI|| to work together in The Outer Worlds

brisk merlin
#

Xenophage is good in pvp, tried it in private match yesterday

#

2 shots

#

rpm isnt that bad

#

its like 2 shots a second

dreamy sleet
#

i dont think so

#

it would be good if it got a bit more ammo

#

maybe 6 shots instead of 4

#

it's a two shot normally, and a 3 shot to roaming supers

#

i'd rather just stick with tractor cannon or a legendary heavy to use a primary exotic

#

the best thing about xenophage is that it makes short work of terrors in the haunted forest

lavish obsidian
austere lance
crisp sparrow
#

looks like reskinned destiny 2

willow crypt
#

Looks good

crisp sparrow
#

I like everything in the graphics except the faces

#

a couple of them looked weird

willow crypt
#

Yeah

crisp sparrow
#

OMG KAMALA KHAN

austere lance
#

@crisp sparrow She's the msin character in the campaign

crisp sparrow
#

W O W

willow crypt
#

Are they going to do what Destiny did with a really short main campaign and then filler online features?

brisk merlin
#

?

crisp sparrow
#

won't be surprised if they do

#

though is main campaign that short?

#

oh u mean D1

willow crypt
#

Mainly D1 yeah

#

Although D2s main campaign was pretty short as well. It's a pretty huge game now

brisk merlin
#

I like that the destiny campaigns now are a roll out thing

#

like

#

you get a shot of the campaign then you get bits of it

#

and lore

#

stuff

willow crypt
#

At this point yeah it's a great way of updating it

austere lance
#

Apparently the Avengers game will have tons of online stuff like Destiny Strikes

willow crypt
#

I just want to be Ant-Man and grow as big as I can and then destroy the whole city with a swing of an arm

austere lance
#

I can't wait to see 300 different loot tiers of Hulk's shorts, lol

willow crypt
#

Ha

austere lance
willow crypt
#

Maybe they will give him bracelets

brisk merlin
#

I mean

#

he did have a hat

#

and a shirt

#

and pants

#

and s h o e s ?

austere lance
#

What if...and this might sound crazy...they made a singleplayer Avengers RPG instead

willow crypt
#

No just a bracelet

#

I would rather have a single player version

#

More story content less BS

austere lance
willow crypt
#

Whoever that guy is, he's a jackass

meager panther
#

He should be fed to mantisqueen

bronze wind
#

Yeah i mean it leaves me wanting in some aspects but it's still a very enjoyable game. No game has ticked every box for me so it's kind of a nothing statement.

#

Whenever something is popular there are always contrarians that want to be different

willow crypt
#

Yep

meager panther
#

Hi zoidy.long time no see

willow crypt
#

Gamer I know who your real father is

meager panther
#

Who is it

austere lance
willow crypt
#

Darth Vader

meager panther
#

Boi secretly plays the game

#

And acts like he doesn't play it

austere lance
#

He acted like that towards Destiny 2 til he actually played it, then he played an ungodly amount and surpassed my Light level in a week ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

Now he's playing Modern Warfare and worships it

willow crypt
#

Yeah sounds like the kind of guy you would never really want to take advice from

#

Or pay any mind to

austere lance
#

Idk if it's on purpose but Felix and Nyoka's companion quests go to the same places, you can basically do em both at once and cut down on travel time

willow crypt
#

There's a bunch of that stuff

austere lance
#

I'm ready to die now, just caught ADA talking dirty to SAM in the cockpit ๐Ÿคข

fluid hare
austere lance
#

Yeah I don't get that either

cinder vessel
#

who plays RPGs for combat anyway, lmao

#

I'm enjoying Outer Worlds on the narrative beats more than much else so far

crisp sparrow
#

@cinder vessel I never thought I'd enjoy doing sidequests but moments like these make up for it

cinder vessel
#

I loved that moment, lol

#

But I immediately afterward was like, "Wait this is the future, don't they have autotranslate tools for that that genuinely work?"

winter yew
#

๐Ÿค”

#

Your town will now be fined collectively for questioning authority.

cinder vessel
#

I saw where some game journos are pushing their articles about the first difficult choice in the game and I'm just like, guys, really, it's not that hard of a choice, especially if you were paying any attention.

winter yew
#

It's because game journalists are avid and genuine gamers that they feel such a strong emotion to the game they play.

#

||I can only assume you speak of the electricity re-routing?||

cinder vessel
#

Concerning the hard choice:
||-Spacer's Choice makes you pay recurring fees for your graves
-Spacer's Choice doesn't provide enough medicine to help afflicted workers
-Spacer's Choice keeps an inept boss around that "solves" the problem of lacking enough medicine...By encouraging sick workers to work harder to earn medicine
-Spacer's Choice keeps an inept boss around that is apparently using some mysterious meat in place of saltuna to meet production quotas, despite already having cut down on saltuna farming via heavier cans
-Spacer's Choice literally has a family separation policy in place that goes so far as to obfuscate the actual birth dates of their worker's children, and prevents parents from naming & caring for their children together
-Spacer's Choice has a communal punishment policy for suicide due to it being considered "destruction of company property" encouraging workers to come up with alternative explanations for worker deaths||

#

But also yeah Hex

winter yew
#

Yeah it wasn't that hard of a decision for me tbh

cinder vessel
#

However, when you look at the issue with aforementioned details, it's not a real choice unless you're a fucking asshole imo

winter yew
#

For basically the reasons you listed.

iron inlet
#

New dungeon is EZclap

cinder vessel
#

Like don't get me wrong, you can miss some of those details if you're strapped for time and trying to get a review in, so I understand that, but several of those are thrown in your face one way or another

#

For instance even if you do the very first quest, you can kinda miss the details on the ||communal punishment for suicide policy||

winter yew
#

TBH there was only one time I sat and thought about the decision I was about to make before making it.

cinder vessel
#

I didn't pick up on that until I went back and talked to some of the folks associated with that quest again after some other detail surfaced talking to someone else

#

Also, fuck the shopkeeper in Edgewater, that guy's such a tool

winter yew
#

Hahaha

cinder vessel
#

Maybe there's some way to get him to flip and be real, but I certainly didn't find it

austere lance
#

I finally encountered a quest where there's no good way to end the conversation peacefully. The only way to end it peacefully is to be a bastard

#

High level flamethrowers with 1300+ ammo are godly btw

#

For once in the damn game taking the moral high road involves killing everyone ๐Ÿ˜ฉ ๐Ÿ’ฆ ๐Ÿ’ฆ

#

Take Felix with you when you do the preacher's final companion quest btw, you won't be disappointed ๐Ÿ˜‚

cinder vessel
#

Also for what it's worth the Botanical Labs immediately have a way better vibe than Edgewater. Like first quest in Edgewater: be a fucking debt collector. First quest over in the Botanical Labs: ||find a missing person that bribed their way among the Marauders because she wanted to be an Outlaw Queen, lmao||

austere lance
#

Edgewater blows, I barely did anything in that hell-hole of a town. I helped out the hippies tho

cinder vessel
#

Tbh they're not even hippies to me so much as, "Yeah, we're not idiots, Edgewater's shit"

austere lance
#

I've learned enemies don't level with you, I'm level 21 and just went back to Emerald Vale for a mission and wrecked every enemy I found in half a second ๐Ÿ˜†

#

The flamethrower takes no prisoners and fears no one

#

I've got 500 heavy ammo and a high level light assault rifle modded to shoot plasma rounds, armored lads should run in fear xD

cinder vessel
#

I kept meaning to check, does ammo count against encumbrance? I'm thinking no, but yeah, just never checked

winter yew
#

I don't think so.

austere lance
#

Nope

#

So do y'all use light, medium, or heavy armor? I use a mix of light and medium

crisp sparrow
#

Wow I didn't think too much of the choice and just ||gave power to the lovely old woman and her garden||

#

Also wtf good thing I didn't pick the other one wow what a bunch of bs

cinder vessel
#

I keep forgetting there are different armor weight classes, lol

winter yew
#

I'm still using my suit from the pod.

#

That + a shitty miner helmet

cinder vessel
#

I picked up a random soldier suit from a container I lockpicked & have been using it, lol

crisp sparrow
#

I got a nice heavy armor from searching some of those abandoned settlements

#

I REALLY like how I get XP from just finding points of interest

austere lance
#

I have so much friggin armor in my inventory even tho all of my companions besides the medic have full heavy sets, I really need to break some of this shit down for parts ๐Ÿ˜†

#

After 6 hours in the game I learned the pod suit has a helmet, lol

#

That I guarantee 90% of people don't find til after Monarch cuz there's basically no reason to go where the helmet is til then

crisp sparrow
#

What's with some weapons having red coloured DPS number

#

All from Joch

winter yew
#

They got a power up thing like fire, electric etc

austere lance
#

And by then the helmet is low quality af compared to what you're wearing

crisp sparrow
#

Oh ok

#

I thought there might be a stamina bar

#

But I can run infinitely I think

austere lance
#

For those low level people who want the helmet when it's still useful, it's in Phineas's lab

winter yew
#

^ Also where the shrink ray is.

#

Which isn't really as fun as it sounds tbh

cinder vessel
#

Lasers are fun though

#

I got a laser pistol that disintegrates enemies

winter yew
#

๐Ÿ˜ฉ

crisp sparrow
#

I'm still doing odd quests from Edgewater folk

#

Now doing a quest for that John Connor guy

#

I don't have the hacking level for opening the door ๐Ÿ˜

austere lance
#

@winter yew Give shrink ray to a companion so you can attack tiny people yourself without trying to switch weapons before they grow back to normal size, lol

#

There's a John Connor guy? lonk

winter yew
#

If anything I found it harder to hit them smaller.

#

Both melee and with gun

austere lance
#

Tbh I just store all my science weapons in the captain's cabin on the ship

crisp sparrow
#

Oh nvm

#

Can bypass with a key

#

@austere lance that guy who is at the landing zone

#

Ludwig Miller

#

Hates robots and is expecting them to rise up

winter yew
#

Ah, he's a weird one.

austere lance
#

Lol, I forgot about him. I still haven't done his quest cuz I was waiting for my Engineering skill to be 55+ so I can fix the robot he wants dead

#

I'm higher than that now but I keep forgetting to talk to the robot

crisp sparrow
#

The first robot? I killed it ded

winter yew
#

๐Ÿ˜ฎ

austere lance
#

I wanna know what happens when I fix it

winter yew
#

||He wipes out all the robots and helps you out later in the game.||

crisp sparrow
#

Ah well maybe next playthrough

winter yew
#

I'm doing another playthrough this weekend me thinks.

crisp sparrow
#

My first right now

#

"Town's been dark a while now. Could be a mechanical trying to sabotage us."
Shut the fuck up Ludwig

willow crypt
#

||giving power to edgewater turned out to be the better choice because I made topson leave and the plant lady took over edgewater||

#

man I was having a tough time making a decision there, but it all worked out

winter yew
#

smh my head

willow crypt
#

no i shake MY head

cinder vessel
#

||made tillybop leave means murder right||

winter yew
#

TOW got me playing FO:NV though ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

#

Hoping I can finish it by Friday so I can jump back on TOW for the weekend.

willow crypt
#

they need to remaster that damn game

#

DAMNIT

winter yew
#

It's definitely a gem in the rough.

cinder vessel
#

I should give New Vegas a try, but I keep telling myself the jank may be too high for me

willow crypt
#

the main issue was the framerate drop on ps3

winter yew
#

Official is super jank but unofficial mods unjank it.

willow crypt
#

otherwise, it's worth it

cinder vessel
#

I have it on PC from some sale awhile back

#

Just haven't taken the time to play it

winter yew
#

Nice, YUN + stutter remover unjanks it for PC.

#

Cause obviously.

crisp sparrow
#

Ok finally gone off the damn planet

cinder vessel
#

I just remember tweaking Fallout 3 to get it working and it still kept crashing and just haven't felt very much like going another round with New Vegas setup

austere lance
#

Oh lord, now you're to the more open part of the game ๐Ÿ˜† @crisp sparrow

crisp sparrow
#

Heh

Maybe the new GPU I got a bit ago might make Fallout 3 crash less thanks to more operational leg room so to speak, but I dunno...

winter yew
#

GOG versions do fix a hell of a lot.

cinder vessel
#

Oh?

winter yew
#

Yes.

cinder vessel
#

I picked them up before they were available on there, and didn't research enough to see if they had changed much

winter yew
#

Yeah a good amount, they patched a good amount of issues but obviously some do still remain.

#

FONV the issue I had it would randomly crash when I was moving to a new area but I can honestly say the unofficial YUP + Stutter Remover has fixed it completely.

#

To the point I have zero issues now.

cinder vessel
#

Huh, well damn, might have to consider getting them again via GOG and obvs running the unofficial patches, see how it goes from there

winter yew
#

FO3 I didn't even need to patch at all for GOG.

cinder vessel
#

I've been thinking about it anyway, considering I do prefer GOG/Itch where possible, but always a little reluctant to repurchase things

crisp sparrow
winter yew
#

Yeah absolutely, I picked them up for almost pennies. Something stupid like ยฃ2.99 each.

#

Sohail, you enjoying it I take it?

cinder vessel
#

thanks for the info btw Hex, next time I see them on sale I'll pick them up

honestly passed on their last sale because I was still pretty sure they were mostly the same as the Steam versions

winter yew
#

Sales are silly prices, more or less pocket change, plus all DLC if you care for that. ๐Ÿคท

austere lance
#

DLC for Fallout 3 is required

#

Well, at least one DLC

winter yew
#

I should start FO3 again tbh

#

I might do that after the weekend. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

austere lance
#

Don't bother playing it without Broken Steel

winter yew
#

I got GOTY edition

austere lance
#

Good, lol

winter yew
#

Lol

#

There's something about FO3 that bugs me that I've not quite worked out what.

austere lance
#

Is it it the drab af color scheme ๐Ÿ˜†

#

I bet it has good mods that fix a lot of stuff, too bad I'm on console ๐Ÿ˜ข

winter yew
#

Yes ๐Ÿ˜›

iron inlet
#

TOW is stupid fun

#

Solid game, hard GOTY contender

#

But D2 ekes it out for me

#
  1. Destiny 2: Shadowkeep
  2. The Outer Worlds
  3. Outer Wilds
#

Actually 2 and 3 are interchangeable

crisp sparrow
#

Jesus it's already 2am

#

Kept playing nonstop

#

@winter yew yeah I'm loving it so far

winter yew
#

I can't wait to go back to it tbh. Whilst I'm on FONV I keep debating just hopping back to TOW.

#

I got no work on right now so I'm trying to make the most of just playing as many games as I possibly can.

#

TOW > FONV > TOW > FO3 > TOW > ME1 > ME2 > ME3 > ME:A

#

Is what I'm thinking.

crisp sparrow
#

What's ME

winter yew
#

Mass Effect

crisp sparrow
#

Oh ok

#

Also why does TOW have a shovel and pickaxe for

winter yew
#

For mining and digging.

crisp sparrow
#

Are they useful or just funny weapons

winter yew
#

Just weapons unless I too missed anything.

crisp sparrow
#

Lel

#

I was legit trying to find dig sites

austere lance
#

I have a pair of shears that are a melee weapon, lol

username checks out

austere lance
#

Wow, that guy I told you about from earlier is NOT happy I'm recommending TOW to someone over CoD ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

#

To be fair, I dropped the earlier conversation til he scared someone from trying TOW because he kept saying it was shit. The person who wanted to try TOW is now wary of it and not sure

raven frost
#

hmmmm

#

should I try soloing SoT rn or play Fh4

austere lance
#

Have you played SoT before?

raven frost
#

I have

#

played it last night

#

bear in mind it was with a group of 4

austere lance
#

It's harder to solo but also a helluva experience

#

Definitely nothing else like it

winter yew
#

SoT?

raven frost
#

sea of thieves

winter yew
#

ohh ok

raven frost
#

fuck it

#

gonna solo sot

light cairn
#

good luck

austere lance
#

Do it, 90% of my time playing was solo ๐Ÿ˜†

#

I soloed the alpha, I mostly soloed the betas, and soloed full release

@iron inlet think for me game of the year stuff might roughly be:
-Control
-Outer Wilds (even without having finished it yet, one of the early puzzle-ish things just totally seals it for me)
-Crossniq+

Enjoying Outer Worlds but nothing has really firmly grounded it as, "Aww yeah, this is wicked" for me yet. I also should really play Heaven's Vault & Anodyne 2, as I feel like both of them may jump into this mix.

#

Oh and Pathologic 2, remake of Pathologic, is something I should pick up at some point.

#

Man, if you're at all interested in smaller/indie games, this has been a really great year.

light cairn
#

i need to get crossniq

cinder vessel
#

It's really fun, takes some getting used to, but once you do you just get into it

#

And I imagine it's excellent on the Switch for on the go play

#

Plus if you have friends into puzzle games, it has a local vs. mode you can dig into

austere lance
#

Damn, WWZ has a 16 GB update

#

No Horde mode yet tho ๐Ÿ˜ข

cinder vessel
#

Btw, have any of you checked out Crying Suns? It seems really cool from the demo, but haven't felt like picking it up just yet

austere lance
#

I don't know 90% of the games you name cuz they're either not on Xbox, hella indie, or both ๐Ÿ˜†

cinder vessel
#

Yeah, usually a lot of both

austere lance
#

The only games I recognized were Outer Wilds and Control, lol

cinder vessel
#

I typically mention them 'cause we all already know/talk about the more popular crossplat games, lol

austere lance
#

Tbh the indie-est game I've played in months is Dead Cells

cinder vessel
#

Uhh, huh. So apparently the new Steam library update thing is live, and going through the change log, they have an image of NMS as an example for the everything about a game in one place change to things, lol

winter yew
#

nice

willow crypt
#

what

winter yew
#

yay pre load of rdr2 finally started.

#
