So like some animals require long rifles
Or varmint rifles
yeah, holy shit that's annoying. says it's best to use heavy rifle with express ammo to kill a bear.
well I blasted his ass open with a double barrel shotgun.
Yeah that will destroy the quality of the pelt lol
in a game when a bow to the head can destroy quality aswell.
What did you shoot with a bow?
everything, from rabbits to deer, to different deer,
Hmmm
fkn dunno, maybe they start destroyed or something
I once saw alive deer with 1 stars.
Yeah that’s a thing too
winter yew
well that's omega annoying then. 😄
idle saffron
There is a trinket you can buy that auto raises the quality by one star
winter yew
animals not taking care of their skin. 😄
You can encounter 1-3 star quality, that’s why they put the tracking ability in. So you can track the good ones when you see them.
and it always is unknown animal.
guessing it's for when you see them and don't want to lose em?
You just know an animal is nearby at that point
Which can be dangerous if you’re approaching a bear or cougar or whatever
ye, gotta identify it, and then it shows on the track huh?
Yup
oh yeah, kitties, fuck them, and fuck that one espaniol.
I had a buck charge me earlier
tried saving his ass 3 times, and 3 times this fucking kitty attacking him one shot me. 😄
Oh lol
I hate the target practice NPC
you see someone screaming for help, you come close, your horse has 6'th sense and gets spooked, you're on yoru ass, one second, and you have a cat wraped around your neck.
Oh that
My horse threw me off once
Right into an alligator
We don’t go to the swamp together anymore lol
Such noble creatures. Your faithful companions.
Throwing your ass straight into danger so their ass gets saved. 😄
Yes lol
I unlocked the ‘horse drift’ earlier
On the controller you like, hit R1+X and you come to a quick stop
yeah normal deer says normal rifles or bows with poisoned arrows.
and If I don't give a shit about poisoned arrows, and pierce a deers brain, it just drops quality because I didn't strictly stick to the code?
I guess
that would just be r-worded.
says rifles aswell, like any rifles, or will this repeater crap you get at the start suffice?
It’s gotta be an actual rifle
noticed it runs on different ammo, so it's not strictly a rifle.
well fuck.
I should prolly buy one at some point then.
surprised you didn’t have one yet
never got one, and everyone runs around with their repeaters or double barrels.
btw, you can't sell guns right?
you can only replace them?
Pretty sure they get stored on the horse and you can swap out so long as you’re by it
yeah got one used up cattleman on my horse for some stupid ass reason. 😄
guess so I can have two?
I don’t think so
I think you just get one of each gun, similar to how GTAV does it
Your weapon wheel is just a little more limited in this game
idle saffron
Cattleman are pistols
winter yew
so i got my cattleman and then used up one, as they count as 2 different guns.
winter yew
oh wait my used up cattleman dissapeared.
ah shit might be because I swapped one by mistake, and it showed up when I was swapping guns around.
you know when I was looting stuff up.
like, why can you even swap your normal guns for the shit enemies drop
and only sometimes at that.
winter yew
well fuck it, I'm poor again. 315 dallaz down the drain. 😄
as long as I can travel freely again.
oh yeah I can nap one rifle for free.
Does anyone buy smokes?
Yes, I love me some nuclear fire.
Any fixes for that? All particles are way too fucking big.
And I really mean all, especially blood, that drops my frames to 1 per 2 sec.
Looks even better in motion. vid pending.
Have some flies instead.
At least I think they're flies.
i have no idea how to fix that
that's hilarious though
fallen notch
Ground textures look terrible in that fire video, is that just your settings or something?
winter yew
Here's me cleaning my horse for example too.
yeah, i'm playing on low.
now imagine that, only it's blood, and every time you get shot, and all your screen is just fucking RED, everywhere, you can't see nothing, you're STILL getting shot, so more RED everywhere, and on top of that your fps drops to next to nothing.
lmao.
It is hilarious in a way I guess.
Welp. 😄
also guess I wasn't as broke as I thought.
good
Sure, cash I lost almost all, but turns out i was carrying 400 worth of stuff from those fucking bounty hunters, outlaws, o'driscolls or however you spell that.
Yeah, these are flies for sure. 😄
fallen notch
Haha, wow...
winter yew
What the fuck is wrong with these particles...
winter yew
btw it came to my attention, that my fkn graphics card should have 2gb's of vram, meanwhile this god damn game only seees 1.5gb.
where's my darn 500mb.
lavish obsidian
the ground looks nice and smooth
winter yew
oh yeah. sure does. 😄
willow crypt
Honestly fuck the people who can't handle a new, fresh vision.
All these devs keep making the same shit over and over again, then someone steps away from the herd of sheep and tries something unique and it gets shit on by the other sheep.
full pivot
im sorry but i love the game; everyone is welcome to their opinion ofc
and i love it because of the weirdness and the mechanics
transporting items from one location to the other isn't new persay but its something i really love; i mean i do love Euro Truck Sim and American Truck Sim
its just a more direct material transport game
willow crypt
👌
winter yew
I keep seeing the reviews including the negative and if anything they're making me want to play it more than I do.
willow crypt
Same
full pivot
ive found experiencing culture in Japan also gave me more of an appreciation for their perspective in their media; i used to have a strong negative view of their take on things too
winter yew
I am stuck deciding between PS4 or waiting for PC release.
I personally feel that more studios should be stepping outside of the box and trying something new.
full pivot
i got it on PS4 because it was gathering too much dust
willow crypt
I wholeheartedly agree
full pivot
i really need to hit these games harder; i also have God of War, Nioh, Horizon Zero Dawn, Bloodborne, Dreams, Last Guardian, and others on there
all star lineup 😛
not to spoil anything again, and since gleam isn't here
willow crypt
Still gotta play God of War and Last Guardian
full pivot
i actually raided an enemy camp twice just to steal all the items because i wanted to complete the process; i rarely do that in games
there was a satisfaction to trying to carry as much as i could each time
and it helps that on some level stealth was important because otherwise i was kinda helpless
in MGSV which i see a lot of comparison; i could stroll in and play it with just a pistol a la MGS1
winter yew
How much does stealth come into play? Can I avoid combat all together if I choose it?
full pivot
but i could also go in with 100% armor and a tank and annihilate all life
i can delete messages so
willow crypt
It's nice there's that choice
winter yew
Ah excellent.
full pivot
i would say its unfair to keep comparing to MGS just because its kojima
though to be fair i also loved MGSV despite the dislike of that 😛
i never finished the story mind you; i kept just replaying areas and rescuing POWs and then using them to play missions
i had this one blonde chick levelled up quite a bit
winter yew
Joe gifted me MGSV and I had a ton of fun with it, I really should go back to it.
full pivot
i bought it and Fallout 4 for my gf one xmas
Fallout 4 wouldn't run on her laptop
which initially made me hate Bethesda 😛
winter yew
I enjoy FO4, I don't think it deserves the hate it does get.
I mean yeah, it's buggy as fuck but the core gameplay is decently fun.
willow crypt
It was fun
Had its weaknesses, but otherwise a good game that scratched that exploration itch. Really enjoyed the environments
Abd that one dlc
Far Harbor
It was fantastic
willow crypt
Yuh
full pivot
its prolly obvs by now i don't hate very many games
and i don't own some of the recent tragedies that were terrible
some... more like any
bronze wind
@willow crypt "fuck the people who can't handle a new fresh vision"
Maybe I just didn't like the way it looked lol. Not everyone who dislikes the game is trying to make some grand statement.
Like I don't think it's bad, it just isn't something I'm interested in. Any negative things I've read about it say about the same thing.
In general the negativity is pretty tame, aside from the typical "fuck this game because it's popular" thing that happens with literally every new game
full pivot
Unfortunately the human brain is wired to focus on negativity for whatever reason so it always seems more prevalent even if it isn't. I don't think the hyperbole of gaming as a whole helps the situation at all either. It's something I'd love to change tbh
It's why I avoid reviews because it's the perspective of someone with their own interests; likes and dislikes and they may not match up with mine at all
and in the end what you enjoy may not be what i enjoy, and that's fine but its also misleading if you ascribe it more power than its due
bronze wind
Of course, I think there are usually people going overboard. This seems different to me, cause most of what I've seen is just people like "aw it's not as fun as I thought, oh well", or other pretty tame statements. And then the other side is just people essentially unironically pulling the "well to be fair, you need a high iq" bullshit
full pivot
I was actually going to play it for the sake of irony and ended up actually liking it haha
bronze wind
If it was on PC and had a demo I would try it
full pivot
i'd let anyone come try it at my place if this weren't yknow discord
bronze wind
It doesn't look like something I'd spend $60 on, so ive just been watching others play, and it's made me more comfortable with that decision. Plus I get to see the story a bit.
full pivot
ik the feeling; i regret spending $60 on the outer worlds 😦
i know im not gonna finish it
bronze wind
Luckily I had gamepass
I did like it but it saved me some money
I couldn't get through another playthrough tho cause it's just the same thing twice
full pivot
i should have prolly just gone with that
i have a bad habit of going all in on games haha
with indie or early access it aint so bad cuz they're like max at what $20 usually?
bronze wind
I almost bought it full price and then checked gamepass PC on a whim
I knew it was on xbone but didn't know if the PC beta had it
full pivot
ive been tempted to buy in early to star citizen but the community has kinda ruined that for me; because i loved Freelancer and its the same guy who created that
full pivot
the unfortunate part of that is it'd take the weekend to just download it probably haha
maybe if im in San Diego or something
bronze wind
I wouldn't recommend buying into it at all because I feel it's not going to become what they're advertising at all, but I also have no reason to try and control your decision on that lol
full pivot
i do know it probably won't because Freelancer also promised more than it could deliver
winter yew
Dude gets caught up in his own hype.
full pivot
im always game for expansive scifi experiences though
bronze wind
Yeah this time it's also millions of other people's money too unfortunately
bronze wind
It is, and they keep making even worse decisions with that model
full pivot
the budget has become too large for so little
bronze wind
If the single player releases and it's fun, I will pay exactly as much as it costs and no more lol
Unless they make it like $250 for final release out of no where
full pivot
when NMS got overhyped or w/e at least it remained a smaller studio and when promises didn't materialize you could imagine that they just wanted more than they could afford
with Star Citizen
they have a larger budget than some AAA games by now
bronze wind
Yeah and there was never really any monetization for nms. It just was marketed as chill space exploration which it ultimately was, and that's all I wanted
full pivot
if they had realized this notion of becoming a scifi creative sandbox like they claim recently; i'd also be all in
but they game could already be out then
if user created content on the engine was what they're going for
basically a DIY universe
winter yew
I feel something else will come along and leave SC behind.
We're seeing an influx of space games with different target audiences lately and I can only imagine that'll continue for a while.
winter yew
Absolutely yes.
I'm following a game called Lilith Odyssey that is directly influenced from NMS.
full pivot
yknow what game i would like actually be all 😍 if they made?
winter yew
I can't say I have. =\
full pivot
a game of master level puzzling and creepy shit
where 16 generations of the game exist simultaneously
and to solve some portions you have to move as if the world is built differently yet you can't see it
a door is open only in demo recording but not in live gameplay
solving those mysteries would be so exciting
imagine something that makes P.T. look basic 😛
maybe its just something i would want..
winter yew
I can see the want for it tbh
I'm all for more puzzle games in general tbh, I'm pretty easy
full pivot
i played a puzzle game once; it was called The Room
i solved it in an hour
im ready!!
lemme show my big brain!!!
rigid haven
Oh shit the room
austere lance
The Room?
raven frost
the r h o m b u s
full pivot
stopp
rigid haven
Not taht room
If it's what I'm thinking of, it's a puzzle game entirely based on puzzle boxes
It's so cool and I haven't found any game that does it as well

Rather than the PS5 having an SSD, I think these are the SSD
I think these game cartridges will have the entire game preloaded onto them in a solid state format, and then you plug those into the PS5 "cartridge" slot
Eliminating problems both with storage and load times
bronze wind
Would be smart
brisk merlin
I LOVE CARTRIDGES
bronze wind

That's my theory for the cartridge and if I'm right that might be the smartest thing Sony has ever done

And if I'm wrong, I'm patenting that Idea and becoming a millionaire
bronze wind

bronze wind

bronze wind
QWOP
austere lance
I really wanna replay MGS V and I'm not sure why
bronze wind
I havne't played it, I think I have it from a bundle tho
austere lance
It's damn good, bizarre af but definitely good. You can play it in hysterical ways 😆
And you get a zoo
I can call in an attack helicopter to rocket the shit out of an area and blast The Final Countdown on the speakers I have mounted on it 
And while it's doing that I can run around body-slamming people xD
You get to kidnap enemy soldiers by knocking em out, hooking a balloon to them, and having friendly aircraft pick them up. Then they get brainwashed at your base and become your soldiers
@bronze wind 10/10, even tho the story is wack
If you don't play for a while the next time you log on your dog jumps on you cuz he missed you
winter yew
The story was great, they just messed up by kicking Kojima off the team before it was finished
bronze wind
yeah i've heard good things, maybe I'll download it
winter yew
Imo is worth playing once, that's what I did
austere lance
I like having a zoo
winter yew
I mean, that's fair, but a zoo wasn't enough replay value to me

I played it waaaaay too much, lol. I even did the secret thing where ||you get Quiet back by doing her intro mission 7 times in a row||

Oh really
I thought you played a bunch of games
willow crypt
Whoa
silver sparrow
how can nms be the only game
crisp sparrow
it literally was my only steam game
cinder vessel
@lavish obsidian sorry for delayed response, AI: Somnium Files is more of a point & click adventure game whereas Astral Chain is very much an action game
silver sparrow
sure but phone games, etc
cinder vessel
games be expensive, esp. if not taking into account indie games, and even then, they add up
silver sparrow
ye but
freeware/abandonware/old consoles
unless you're just saying "first steam game" 🤷
cinder vessel
well they did say they were emulating some DS stuff
and they already said that it was basically their first & only steam game up there, lol
silver sparrow
ah ok i probably missed some context
i thought there was some sub-population of cave people who have only played nms for their whole lives 😄
willow crypt
There are some
cinder vessel
Yeah, or at the very least it's their first more involved console/PC game, where before they've just dabbled here or there
Which makes sense, there's likely a sizable untapped audience for games where you just roam around open environments
crisp sparrow
also yay my first time refunding a game
yeah Leon is right, I've barely touched PC games until I built my own PC in 2018

I'm weirdly enjoying Death Stranding, despite being wary of it what with encumbrance and item durability and such

cinder vessel
Hrrm, so I can't tell how the network stuff with Death Stranding works, and I'm not sure if anyone else is entirely sure either yet. I'm not sure if structures/signs are shared cross-difficulty, or if there may be some limiting going on in some way, so easy players' structures aren't filling up Normal/Hard and vice versa
willow crypt
Why skip?
cinder vessel
I think Sohail is pushing for a skipping game, where you primarily skip around and aim for the quickest/coolest looking skips to go right over there, like just a step or two away
willow crypt
Ohhhh
@crisp sparrow I agree, we need more skipping games
Tony Hawks pro skipper underground 3
Tbh, we should be supporting a good studio like Respawn
Give money to the devs who make solid single player games with no bullshit
And not give money to the others who scam us
cinder vessel
That reminds me, I should probably pick up Code Vein at some point
That game loads you up with so many customization options without many annoying microtransactions or cosmetic DLC things, at least, last I checked
willow crypt
Oh that looks perty
cinder vessel
Daemon x Machina kinda comes close, and I'm sure mechwise it probably does, but they have a load of silly annoying cosmetic DLC things on the side so it kinda dampens my enthusiasm for it a tad
willow crypt
Yep. Usually
cinder vessel
That said, it's also still a top notch mech game, and given those are few & far between lately, I can't help but still enjoy it despite that nonsense
austere lance
I'd play it
@willow crypt Jedi Fallen Order? It's a mix of Souls, Uncharted/Tomb Raider, and Metroid Prime 😆

The hardest difficulty will definitely be the Souls difficulty, if you're feeling masochistic for some reason 😆
willow crypt
Storm troopers ai are bland in real life
crisp sparrow
Huh
austere lance
They're Stormtroopers, of course they're dum dum
willow crypt
Haha
austere lance
Until you fight Jedi hunters 👀
And droids. There's some mean-ass droids in the game. And big creatures
willow crypt
I'm glad there's dismemberment
At least for the alien creatures. Not sure about humans
austere lance
Not for humans
willow crypt
Figured
austere lance
Except in instances where it benefits the story 👀
They keep saying that and it makes me nervous for the main character, lol. My boi gonna lose a leg or something 😆
If he suffers the Skywalker curse and loses a hand I'm gonna laugh, lol
willow crypt
Oh wait I thought the main character already had a synthetic arm or maybe I'm thinking of something else
austere lance
He has a smol droid
willow crypt
Lol
willow crypt
HmmmmmMm
austere lance
Jedi are dumb and always lose hands, gotta be dank Sith boi and lose legs

I'm enjoying Death Stranding so far, but the whole chiral network thing seems kind of...Accidentally backwards? Or I'm just having trouble discerning the boundaries on the map
willow crypt
I want to finish outer worlds I can get into that
austere lance
Obviously you haven't drank enough Monster or made enough poop grenades to understand the game fully
Go take a dump at the base and look at the Fear the Walking Dead ads til you learn the meaning of everything
austere lance
Not gracefully
willow crypt
It wouldn't be as fun if it was graceful
austere lance
The baby cries when you fall and it's creepy
willow crypt
So funny
austere lance
Also, Norman Reedus's character gets mad if you stare at his crotch
I wish I was kidding about both of those things, the game is bizarre
cinder vessel
I haven't tried to roll down hills yet

I was too busy setting up ladder bridges over rough waters only to think partway through that they'll probably only appear to folks after they would've been useful, lol

Honestly probably similar

I haven't played Goat Simulator since my goat's tongue got stuck on a car and I got flung into orbit
Greatly entertaining, not sure what the point is tho 😆

I questioned existence when I learned I could sacrifice people at a pentagram and make Goat Satan, who apparently shits demon energy and freaks tf out of you jump
I got rubberbanded around the map 36 times

Wowee

there's a whole dump of webm's showing all the broken shit in the game

Pokemon Sword/Shield

Devs should prolly just abandon all their old IPs

@idle saffron just answer yes/no to this, do they explain why there are so many dead animals in that area

Did you see what I meant right at the beginning with the still shots of scenery though?

I tried walking through the fence the first time
I also turned off all the notifications I could haha

Its blue I figured it was just for bad things 😝
silver sparrow
i'll wait to see if it goes on sale for black friday/cyber monday
anyone playing outer wilds? (not outer worlds)
full pivot
Yes ive played both versions
tame coral
The beached animals are a metaphor for thousands of sea life dying because of oil spills and pollution @crisp sparrow
The whole game is a giant metastory about climate change and pollution and society
crisp sparrow
@tame coral you get 0 marks, it was a yes/no question
cinder vessel
@idle saffron yoo, take it your copy just came in?
silver sparrow
so @full pivot what did you reckon about it?
cinder vessel
Not Aethena, but Outer Wilds is great
silver sparrow
lol
i hear you saying that aethena is not great
😄
i might pick it up (again, waiting for ps deals after tk day
cinder vessel
Aethena, Smoosh is over here putting words in my mouth! 😭
silver sparrow
oh...is there a game time estimate or is it infinite sandbox?
cinder vessel
Outer Wilds does have a completion point but can't recall how long it's taken people, not too long I guess

Hey guys. I finished a delivery! Right to the Amazon locker!
raven frost
is that death stranding /s
brisk merlin
I went on SC earlier and that was my first thought when i saw that chestpiece
raven frost
I think they were only implemented because they couldn't get NPCs to do it right
full pivot
@silver sparrow it's a great game that everyone should experience
silver sparrow
coolthx
charred badge
Of course they did
NPCs even have the delivery dialogue still
Standing right next to destination lockers 
full pivot
Is that where you deliver all of your in game money to the devs as well? 
winter yew
Man, they're gunna be fucking expensive in that case.
iron inlet
Oh absolutely
winter yew
Either that or this is gunna crash the price of SSD's but history shows that won't happen.
This could backfire tbh
The Vita crashed and burned cause of poor decisions, this could very easily follow that.
austere lance
Yee, posted that yesterday cuz I thought it was wack
iron inlet
I think with the PS5 being a mainstream console though it's less likely to backfire
Maybe Sony has figured out some proprietary SSD that's super cheap
To manufacture
Explains the whole Letsgodigital thing though
austere lance
So is there gonna be an SSD in the console too? Cuz they keep talking about the unbelievably fast loading times in games, which is gonna be interesting to pull off with a bunch of different SSD sizes
winter yew
I guess yes cause of store sales.
austere lance
That and selling a $500+ console plus however much SSD's will cost would be a bit of a dick move
willow crypt
isn't there some sony exec hinting that next gen will be very affordable?
winter yew
Yeah, a similar model to PS3 generation.
Sell hardware at a huge loss to earn profit via games.
I guess they've seen how successful the Switch has been.
austere lance
Maybe the console will be like $400 and SSD's will add to the price
winter yew
I threw £600 at both XB1 and PS4 at launch expecting them to last a whole generation
I mean, they do but not too good.
The half upgrades fucked faith in a lot of people.
austere lance
There's always Pros or Slims or X's or other newer better variants for consoles, smh. It sucks
winter yew
Yes but not to the extent they was this time.
PS4 Pro and XB1 X would have been a new generation in any previous generation.
HUGE gains.
willow crypt
yeah I got a pro midway through and kinda wish there was just one main console
bigger jumps are fun
austere lance
Next console jump is gonna be wild, Scarlett is supposed to be 8x more powerful than the One X
willow crypt
just hopefully they have a plan this time with the longevity of next gen consoles and they don't release a new one midway
winter yew
Yeah no kidding.
austere lance
120 FPS and 8K, doubt we'll get both at the same time tho 😆
willow crypt
that sounds like the peak of what we actually need
austere lance
Yeah it's kinda dumb that they're pushing for 8K in the new consoles
willow crypt
since at that point our eyes probably can't tell the difference anyway
the important thing is hitting those smooth, high numbers consistently
winter yew
4k is peak for home tv's.
austere lance
If they can do 8k that hopefully means we'll get smooth 4k, lol
winter yew
Anything above that is for large displays such as screens at football stadiums.
Even now most people have a screen too large for their room.
40inch you should be sat 20ft away.
austere lance
It'll be nice to see 4k 60+ FPS on consoles
willow crypt
yes
austere lance
I wonder why they're mentioning 120 FPS. Maybe just on backwards compatible original Xbox games?
winter yew
Unless they got some hidden tech.
This I guess is gunna be a similar to when they moved games from disc to hard drives which massively decreased load times.
Taking the load from somewhere else to allow it to do another thing.
austere lance
XO19 is tomorrow, there isn't gonna be new console news but at least there'll me 12 new games and some Game Pass news 💕
winter yew
Fable 4 🤞
austere lance
I'd legit cry
Gonna be a gud day, XO19+Jedi Fallen Order release
Or is that Friday
winter yew
Yes, Friday

Freaking ps4 controllers. i love how they feel, but they are pretty bad quality.
the analog sticks get so screwed up
silver sparrow
i can't remember having any problem with either of my ps4 controllers just sayin
austere lance
I love how Xbox controllers have always been tanks, lol. All the way back to the Duke. I've accidentally yeeted my Xbone controller quite a few times and it works fine 😆
willow crypt
yeah i'm sure the analog sticks get messed up with use, but otherwise i'm pretty careful, and they get stuck. like moving left with the right analog stick now always feels like i'm trudging through tar, and sometimes it moves left on its own
same/similar issues with the other 2
also, on older one, holding L2 messes with the left analog stick controls
austere lance
That's......odd
willow crypt
the xbox controllers definitely seem stronger
silver sparrow
no yeeting
winter yew
My XB1 controller has drifting and my Dualshock 4 has the rubbers worn away on analog sticks.
austere lance
I love my cheap-ass tank controller, lol

It hath suffered accidental yeetings 😆

What do you do to the poor thing.

My ps4 controller lasted me a good four or so years and only started to drift a few months ago

So, timefall, what's up? ||Apparently folks in the game don't know much either, but they do know it turns into water after it messes with organisms or hits inorganic matter, e.g. rocks.
So the weird distorted American landscape? Not entirely down to timefall or voidouts. That's just Kojima being Kojima and vague future setting.||
light cairn
interererereresting
willow crypt
You're interesting
cinder vessel
Which reminds, the monster energy drink involvement? ||Rendered pretty much invalid by that information. If timefall just turns into water, you could just as well fill a canteen from any water source, and it could just filter into regular af filtered water. No need for it to be monster at all, besides the usual bottom line reasoning.||
winter yew
So, 2 questions regarding rdr2 on pc. How do you twirl your guns, and do trinkets do anything? Crafted two, one from lions paw, second from legendary coyote. They say they have some legendary effects, but I can't let's say wear em, or anything like that?
Yay I got the bike in Death Stranding.. man that game wears me out lol. If not for the "QWOP" aspect of it, I'd be playing it a lot longer throughout the day but my poor hands can only take so much controller clenching 😦
You'll like the legs. 😄
legs? :V
From what I gathered they improve your carry weight, and make you much more stabilised.
like reinforced legs to help me from stumbling like a drunk in RDR2?
removing a lot of "qwop"ing.
ye, exo legs, that you can equip later on.
it is funny to hear Norman Reedus cussing though
but that baby crying through the controller
man that ramps up my anxiety like crazy lol
cinder vessel
I don't find it too hard to balance unless i try to carry too much
But I also typically just stroll through games, lol
winter yew
oh it'll happen still, they don't stop everything, if you have like a tower of the heaviest loads on top of you, then you're fucked anyways. 😄
the BT encounter before the wind farm almost killed me 😦
I got disoriented when trying to escape the first grab attempt and ran straight into a rock, did SO much damage to my cargo
cinder vessel
so far the BTs kinda just annoy me, lol
winter yew
Also, how do you counter in rdr2?
counter what
can you even? I can block with like, R or something, and hit with either mouse, or F.
counter-shoot-them-in-theface?
these controls man.
naah during fistfights.
oh, no idea
i haven't gotten into a fistfight in awhile in that game
but i also play it on ps4 and i barely remember the controls as it is
they can disarm me, counter me, can I do like anything outside of fisting and blocking? 😄
I dont think countering is a thing? maybe? not sure.
Usually works, but is kinda boring, compared to normal fighting.
oh, and how do you fucking tag anyone using this new and improved piece of shit dead eye?
got "upgraded" to "freely" mark fuckers, but game never bothered to explain how. Now I can just slow time, and fire myself, without "x's" anymore. 😦
maybe watch this? https://youtu.be/MiA1rCZM528
idk how much that will help but a lot of the stuff you're asking could be a google search away :p
maybe. 😄
go to 9:02
for the manual deadeye stuff
ah yeah, r1 and r2, the famous keyboard buttons, that's the problem. 😄
lmao
i told you it may not be helpeful
but whatever the equivalent of that is on pc, maybe use them
Ah you tried at least. Problem being I don't really know what would those buttons do.
what i dont get is why his video is in 60fps
when the ps4 version runs at 30fps lol
some janky-ass interpolation 😐
austere lance
Idk why the TTK in Battlefront II is so high with starter weapons but it makes unlocking better weapons reeeeeeaaaaally annoying
"Get 50 kills with this shit weapon so you can get one that's slightly better and upgradable"

Friggin DICE games

We haven't had a singleplayer Star Wars game since Force Unleashed 2, it's sad

fkn Q is how you mark enemies now.
And I'm guessing I can't go back to auto x'ing everything? It was hella useful while hunting.
austere lance
I'm not twitchy enough for shooters anymore, smh
Especially ones where not getting headshots means you have to hit people 8 frigging times before they die

oh rdr's fine in that regard.

I really loved the Shanghai map
Was so much fun to camp on the building and then jump onto the helicopter as the building had started to collapse

yeah i loved shanghai but fucking hated the attack heli sweatlords

Like just parachute into a helicopter
Oh man I want to play it again
I wasn't the best at it, but I still loved every minute of it
The story was mediocre but I liked it

It's the evolution of Subnautica's design over 6 years
wet warren
Oh yeah I remember that video. It's pretty good
austere lance
The prototype was legit just a Roblox game 😆
wet warren
The game is definitely fun. The only problem is all the bugs and other issues they have
wet warren
Lol bugs like that can be entertaining. I'm talking about the ones that constantly irritate you
daring spear
I came up to my base earlier and my (docked) vehicle could be seen floating below the room
I have yet to encounter an annoying one I think
wet warren
There was this one bug where I went through one of those underwater gates with my Seamoth and it got stuck there
reef storm
I was fucking around in Astroneer yesterday morning, using the large rover to dig down a few levels. I got out of it and glitched down into a canyon deep underground.
☠️
wet warren
RIP
reef storm
A bit lol
fucking new keyboards
Got a new one at work, doesn't have that tactile feel like my old one.
wet warren
There was also this other bug where I went through a portal with a prawn suit and I pressed the button to jump out and then I started falling through the floor into the abyss. I had to exit the game and ended up losing alot of progress
Couldn't you just keep using the old keyboard?
reef storm
Nah. They replaced it while I was off
daring spear
When were you playing last?
wet warren
Well it was right before full release and I haven't checked since. Im afraid to test it out though
daring spear
I have no idea when full release was but they've done some patching and stuff fairly recently
Clearly not 100% free of bugs and stuff
wet warren
Unfortunately it hasn't fixed the one issue that always annoys me
daring spear
What's that
wet warren
If you go to fast the game the terrain in front of you will not render. I would have to wait a minute or so for it to properly render so I don't get caught in anything. I've been able to exploit before and in pretty sure I can still do it now
wet warren
It just breaks the immersion for me all the time
I was able to go past the terrain next to the final precursor base before it rendered in and make my way into the sea emperor's chamber. That was before I unlocked the front door
I could literally get past the terrain just by regular swimming
daring spear
It's not that bad, in my experience
wet warren
Guess it just matters on opinion then
willow crypt
So would you guys say Astroneer is worth playing even if you don't want to deal with building stuff?
It seems largely focused on the basebuilding, and honestly I'm tired of seeing big open world exploration games relying on it so heavily
daring spear
reef storm
@willow crypt The building is more for progression than anything else. It's definitely resource gathering heavy
willow crypt
Figured
reef storm
There is a method to the madness though
full pivot
i know people will argue with this; but the reason they won't make a 100% exploration game is because people would just complain about "whats the point" etc
reef storm

wet warren
^^
willow crypt
But nms was better before all that stuff sooooo
A good story to draw you from place to place is a solid foundation for an exploration game
wet warren
I wouldn't mind a game that mostly focused on exploration
reef storm
There's definitely a bit of discovery element to it, but admittedly it does get repetitive after a couple planets. Can be a bit challenging to get to the harder planets
wet warren
If a certain game ||cough No Man's Sky cough|| could just improve variety
reef storm
Less. There are only 5 planets/2 moons. Biome wise - there's some diversity, especially as you dig toward the center of the planet
So maybe more in that aspect.
Each planet is definitely different
willow crypt
Oh wow. But yeah, digging seems more interesting. Can go much deeper
