hey so uh, i was so busy playing Death Stranding I missed that this patch hit a few hours ago:

@crisp sparrow some of my friends played the first one.
I guess it has more structure than MC
crisp sparrow
so far it looks like an RPG with MC building but also has a village system too
but bland combat
also since I've never played dragon quest I decided to pick up XI as its a PC game too
and goddamn the graphics are so pretty omg
cinder vessel
@crisp sparrow Builders 1 & 2 are really nice chill games, for sure
cinder vessel
Combat, like in other building games, definitely takes a back seat though, yeah
In 2 you have a partner to help speed it up a bit though, so there's that

He's not too bad, lol. Second version of him when you come back to the prison is worse 
Asylum Demon is the tutorial boss, git gud or git smacked

Dark Souls is just lots of pain and suffering, you see lots of tiddy in Witcher tho. Choose wisely
light cairn
i know this isn't really helpful at all, but I struggled with souls combat as well until i played bloodborne, then it all just clicked
try playing a bit more aggressive maybe
full pivot
Also you can hang back somewhat and bait boss attacks to learn what they look like, how fast they hit, etc. Then after learning go in knowing when to roll and attack
light cairn
also as counter-intuitive as it might seem, usually dodging into the attack is the safest option

Also black knight greatsword π§

at least im not as bad as my friend vince though who resets if he doesn't get the BK Halberd π

Helped finish up a few stretches of road, we almost have the highway going through this whole region now...Gotta get some other areas back on the chiral network though before I can help with the rest
I feel like other folks either forget (as I did) various facilities have their own material stocks, are really stingy with their facility materials, or are focused on powering through Death Stranding's story and so don't really contribute to the autopavers much
Which is kinda silly tbh because at least in some respects those roads save you so much time in the long run (literally)
willow crypt
Yes

Ah. Gud game, if a bit short

I played it on Game Pass

Got it free on PlayStation plus a year or so ago
meager panther
Do they have 100mbps + internet
Otherwise its useless
Plus they need to pay for the games themselves
Seems like
winter yew
It's a service aimed at casual gamers that otherwise wouldn't buy consoles but they need to buy the hardware that is on a similar level of pricing to consoles that would do this better.
π
crisp sparrow
@meager panther he has google fiber I think
meager panther
This is just clumsy
You pay for three things
The internet
The service
Then the game itself
Plus you need to be connected to the internet and have a good connection in that
crisp sparrow
tbh I am not opposed to the idea
winter yew
I'm not opposed to cloud gaming in general, I'm opposed to the approach that Google is taking with Stadia.
winter yew
I'm banking on Steams incoming service tbh.
crisp sparrow
its gonna be like game pass but cloud gaming
crisp sparrow
damn
winter yew
I have zero access to that library now.
crisp sparrow
oof
winter yew
X Cloud and Steam both appear to be allowing streaming of games you already own.
So you will have a local copy that will have the option to play in the cloud.
crisp sparrow
sounds nice because I really like the idea of not having to spend a bunch on pc parts just for gaming
but just a cloud service that gets better over time rather than worse, like consoles
winter yew
I 100% agree with that.
meager panther
It should be a bundled service
30$ or something for the internet+ game+ streaming
So you can access that internet and game as long as you are subscribed
crisp sparrow
ya so like project xcloud: you pay a monthy sub just like game pass and you can play their library of games anywhere (currently only for smartphones)
crisp sparrow
ohh ok so its just leaks
winter yew
Unofficially official.
crisp sparrow
lol everyone in the comments complaining it shouldnt be a thing
winter yew
It shouldn't be a thing at all but there's an audience for it and making money is usually done by stepping outside of the box.
I saw an article already that is bringing Stadia (because it's relevant) into the spotlight within the EU already because we have a law here that states that purchasing of digital goods/content/services is the exact same as purchasing it physically.
Meaning that anyone in the EU right now purchasing from Stadia owns that game and not the license.
meager panther
I am definitely trying this move when i play
winter yew
It's just a little outside of my stupid personal rule of Β£1 per hour.
winter yew
Will more than likely be discounted close to Christmas tbh
meager panther
I am watching star wars movies whenever i have time
Will keep me occupied till i get the game
idle saffron
It is better than I thought it would be
I was expecting cheese EA money grab tbh
Solid Star Wars story so far though
winter yew
Oh yeah I see that.
idle saffron
I only have 2 complaints with it so far -and they are: Can't remove hud, no photo mode
So minor at best
winter yew
Hopefully a patch will add it.
idle saffron
For me, in this day of gorgeous gaming, they should all have a photo mode
winter yew
Yes, I agree.
idle saffron
I say that with no clue how hard it is to do, of course
Can't be that hard though, right?
winter yew
Not with Vulkan, it's pre-baked into the API.
idle saffron
winter yew
But as you say, probably not as simple as that at face value.
Pre-baked means the functionality is already there. More than likely a handful of steps and hoops to jump through.
idle saffron
If 25 people can handle getting photo mode in, 3k should be capable of the same feat
winter yew
Exactly!

Ok that makes it literally unplayable for me now.

so for Steam Remote play only 1 person needs to have a copy of the game?

Looks that way.
Instantly share your Steam local multi-player games with friends over the internet, for free. Using Remote Play Together, one player owns and runs the game, then up to four players β or even more with fast connections β can quickly join in the fun.

It's not Yoda, lol. He's dead by the time the show starts. It's just a baby of his species, which nobody knows the name or home planet of so every just calls it "A baby Yoda"
Which then got shortened to "baby Yoda"
The show starts after Episode VI but before the First Order

My thalisman ain't working, if I kill a 2 star it stays a 2 star doesn't improve the quality at all, it's supposed to be a common animal meanwhile i've been on this fucking swamp for an hour and found TWO rats, both 2 stars both stayed 2 stars, meanwhile there's like 20 fucking gators on the screen like CONSTANTLY, TWENTY FFS. I won't even mention the graphics glitching the fk out again, cause that's just pointless at this point. But yeah, other than that I'm peachy. π
God I hate this fkn swamp...
cinder vessel
is this a weird technical self-inflicted pain kinda kink or something
winter yew
and of course it's the fucking rat that's the last thing I need to hunt. About the size of a normal rat too, so good luck trying to find this little shit in the high grass and among all those gators.
Got eaten once tho, so that's a plus. Should much more.
and I haven't been thrown off my horse yet, so another plus. π
I would very much not suffer, yeah, but that's not an option clearily.

@cinder vessel His pc can barely play the game but he insists on suffering through it, lol

Oh and I forgot. That's the shit I need to deal with while also trying to look for the littlest of shits in high grass amongst all the gators.

Why must you do this to yourself, lol. I can vouch for the game not being worth it
winter yew
ah see you're vouching for it meanwhile here's me in 6'th chapter. Dunno, just my kind of game. Shame it doesn't love me back, like at all. If game was capable of emotions, I'd say this bitch hates me with all of her non existing heart. π
Or maybe it's Rockstar being incompetent as shit, dunno.
Like, what the fuck just look at those... Dunno, flies again I guess.
That's not just my graphics card drawing its last breath, that's some serious spaghetti code at works.
If I could only turn those fucking flies off...
I think it's particles and the best I can do is to turn em to low, and well that's the shit they're doing when on low. π

I'm late to the conversation but Dead Space 3 definitely isn't bad, just not as scary as the first two. @crisp sparrow
I still got to NG+ 3 on it
The co-op for it is damn good, playing as the other guy adds a whole new layer to the game because he's going insane throughout it
cinder vessel
Dead Space 3 is the culmination of EA plz stop, let do their thing
It's a wonder it's even half-decent given how EA kept mucking about with the devs
austere lance
Tbh the first one was fun but I put a lot more time into 3, the gameplay for 1 is clunky af in comparison
It's good for one playthrough so you can get the shit scared out of you and learn about Isaac but there's zero reason to replay it imo
2 is best, I think I got to NG+ 6 on it π
cinder vessel
The game gradually became something different with each sequel tbh
austere lance
2 had best intro
cinder vessel
Partly out of the devs' own interest, partly out of publisher pressures here & there
EA really wanted Dead Space to become an overnight Resident Evil kinda franchise and you just can't rush that...

It sucks that Jedi Fallen Order released too late to get nominated
winter yew
how is it that Death Standing is on the GotY list... itβs been out for like 8 seconds
cause kojima
bunch of plutocratic nonesense and such
full pivot
outer worlds has barely been out longer lol
Sekiro has no chance; i can tell you that
and Control would be a massive surprise
tame coral
Disco Elysium deserves to win
It's so fucking good
And destiny 2 deserves best ongoing game
So much more development in season of undying and shadowkeep
winter yew
destiny 2βs story offering at launch was a copy paste of war frames war within plot from a year prior though
I guess Β―_(γ)_/Β―
can we get a category for biggest let down? Because Anthemβs a shoe in
I had so much hope for that game
neat yew
15 minutes until the Half Life Alyx reveal
tame coral
I mean destiny 2 launch story was still much more memorable than any Warframe story quest
I mean I guess I remember the second dream, the war within
austere lance
Warframe has a story?
austere lance
Smh
winter yew
And I felt it hurt.
warframe doesn't have story as of the more standard definition, it has lore I'd say more like.
tame coral
Not a singular story
But stories
Last I remember 13 different story quests
And took me me at least 2-5 hours to complete
I completed I think 7-8?
tame coral
But I barely remember the story of those quests lol
winter yew
last time I checked you had to craft warframe parts in 3 of em, and each part crafts for 24 hours, so that's interesting. π
tame coral
Yes
full pivot
i care zug
winter yew
fun that story finally unravels tho, the whole old war thing.
tame coral
The grind and wait time is scary long
full pivot
im actually super excited for more half life finally
winter yew
it also had a ball busting ending, that's why people don't get hyped that much. π
you think alyx will go on to search for borealis? Doubtful.
willow crypt
Vnn on twitch
austere lance
Age of Wonders: Planetfall is almost done downloading, it looks weird
neat yew
trailer is on their twitter
willow crypt
Holy crap
winter yew
ye, a prequel of some sort it would seem.
austere lance
That actually looks cool
winter yew
I'm guessing pre gordon if I'd have to guess.
willow crypt
Baby gordon
austere lance
That moment when you finish installing a game and it says it needs a 4.8 GB update
Fml
winter yew
so some resistance life before gordon got whiffed out of stasis?
full pivot
its actually just so hard to believe its real π
like my brain wont accept it hahaha
cinder vessel
Half-Life: Alyx isn't pre-Gordon, it's between HL1 and HL2
willow crypt
Excite
austere lance
I'm ready to commit die, why is there a 5 GB update for a game I JUST finished downloading
cinder vessel
Not sure how I feel about the new Eli voice actor, they had some big shoes to fill and they don't quite hit the mark for me
austere lance
Creepy dude at end was cool
winter yew
gman? π
willow crypt
You gotta play the games Soul
willow crypt
Play 1
austere lance
Didn't play the episodes tho
willow crypt
Worth it
austere lance
Don't have a PC, lol. I only played 2 cuz it's in the Orange Box
Never played Portal 1 either even tho it's part of the Box 
crisp sparrow
Ok finally finished dead space
Man what a wild ride
Too bad the final boss was a pushover
I was playing on medium
austere lance
Dead Space 2 escalates the ride
austere lance
Also has a ridiculously hard difficulty you can pick where you only get one save through the entire game
neat yew
Oh ffs, I add it to my wishlist.. somehow my vr dev friend already owns HL:Alyx
austere lance
Um
crisp sparrow
Lel
crisp sparrow
Waiting for the fitgirl repack
winter yew
apparently it's vr only too?
neat yew
HL: Alyx is VR only yes
austere lance
You're uh, gonna have to set some time aside for Bethesda games. They're very very very large
crisp sparrow
Lol I'm not sure I want to anyway
austere lance
Skyrim's worth playing, especially with mods
crisp sparrow
I tried (as you know) but it was just not fun
cinder vessel
Skyrim hasn't aged well at all, lol
austere lance
Eh, I slapped some graphics mods on it and it's fine
willow crypt
I think the remastered Skyrim is beautiful
Especially the grassy hills
But of course the NPCs have always left a lot to be desired
austere lance
Skyland All-In-One+some character model mods π
cinder vessel
I just find the art direction outside of some of the surface ruins/Dwemer ruins totally uninteresting in Skyrim, like from what I've seen of God of War (2018), that's what I'd want to see for something inspired by Norse mythos
willow crypt
Yay Alyx is 12-16 hours long. Solid
neat yew
adult diaper sales soar in march 2020

the deed's been done.
Found a fkn muckrat, shot it, skinned it, 3 stars.
now for the fun part. get back to the camp.
and hope cinematic master race experience doesn't kick in
austere lance
People are already buying this? Y'all need to chill
bronze wind
Isn't that cheaper than the index on it's own initially
Oh wait
That's not usd
Nvm
winter yew
Real monies
bronze wind
winter yew
I see that all current Index owners get HL: Alyx for free too.
austere lance
$999
willow crypt
not enough
bronze wind
winter yew
That number hurts me so much.
austere lance
Could probably buy both next gen consoles for that price, lol
echo hill
i cant wait for ps5
bronze wind
I want to be hurt
willow crypt
kinda bullshit it's only pcvr
not only do the non-VR players not get to play, but neither do console players
in general
F that.
winter yew
I'm hoping it's testing waters to see how relevant Half Life is in this current day.
austere lance
It looks like they built the game around VR tbh
winter yew
Oh for sure it is but the audience that grew up with half life are mostly adults now.
austere lance
Fortnite kids don't know what Half Life is, lol
willow crypt
yes they did, so make it available on psvr
willow crypt
yeah it's true, we are adults, and we will willingly be consumed by it oncemore
austere lance
Make it available as a normal game without VR
willow crypt
stupid fornite CHILDREN GO PLAY HALFLIFE
raven frost
[quietly sitting here contemplating whether to upgrade my headset or my controllers first]
willow crypt
they should get another studio to do a non-VR port
brisk merlin
echo hill
i rly wanna play rust rn
willow crypt
I have a feeling Valve's intention in not creating a non-VR version/getting another studio to do it is just to sell more VR headsets.
austere lance
Duh, they can either sell a $60 non VR game or sucker Half Life fanatics into paying a thousand dollars for a whole VR set and game
austere lance
Oh yeah, I've already seen quite a few people in other servers pre-ordering
If Valve is REALLY greedy smart they'll wait a bit til after release and announce a non VR port then watch the fireworks
willow crypt
I think it's inevitable, although it may be some time.
willow crypt
can't remember how longer it took for The Orange Box to release on consoles
but i think it was a while
tame coral
They're probably going to wait and see if the reviews for the game are good
austere lance
2007 @willow crypt
tame coral
Imo if reviews good then valve will keep it vr exclusive to sell more headsets
cinder vessel
PokΓ©mon Let's Go games have some rough framerates when a bunch of pokΓ©mon are roaming around on screen π€
tame coral
Then maybe a few years down the line they'll probably release non vr version
willow crypt
if they can tell a new, interesting story that adds to the world they've created, it'll do well.
tame coral

@echo hill Bruh Jedi Fallen Order is π© π¦ π¦
echo hill
i want it 
willow crypt
i want your honey
echo hill
im gunna buy it today if i get my paycheck
ive got enough for it rn but i dont wanna risk having no money until next week
austere lance
Holy shit, I JUST figured out how to execute these big fuckin monsters
echo hill
sssshhhhhh
austere lance
Halfway through my second playthrough, lol
Probably cuz I suck at parrying them and you've gotta parry the bastards three times in a row before you can execute em
@echo hill If you're good at Souls games start on Jedi Master difficulty. Or Grandmaster if you're a masochist, lol
austere lance
I was only good at Dark Souls 1 so I've only gotten as high as Jedi Knight, lol. Anything higher than that requires ridiculous reflexes that my tired ass doesn't have π
echo hill
i enjoy being beaten to a pulp in those games cause it makes parrying and beating the enemies that much more rewarding
austere lance
I think I showed you this but this is the difference between the difficulties
The parry window on Grandmaster looks π¬ to me
echo hill
yeah you did
it sounds fun
tho i garuntee ill get frustrated 2 hours in and bump the difficulty down
no paycheck π¦
might just get it anyways cause im a sucker
@austere lance hows the story in the game?
echo hill
oke im buying it
im a sucker
it doesnt happen to be xbox play anywhere does it...?
nah its not π¦
oh well
austere lance
Apparently it's on Origin Premiere or whatever for PC
echo hill
origin premium?
eh i dont really like game subscription services
guess ill just have to live off of $17 until my paycheck comes
echo hill
too late i already bought it
austere lance
Welp π
winter yew
I fucking hate this game in general...
Guess it didn't fucking crash for once.
Just perma froze.
but it did crash twice in a span of the past 5 minutes
including all the loading and walking
5 minute mission turned into 10 minute chore, fuck me, deffinitely not what I signed up for.
austere lance
Nice rhyme, lol
winter yew
Huh, I guess. π
willow crypt
Haha
echo hill
Can't wait to get home and regret playing on the hardest difficulty
austere lance
Lol
silver sparrow

now itll only take like 8 years to download
willow crypt
Too long
echo hill
i can only avoid spoilers for so long
willow crypt
I bet Kojima hired Norman Reedus because he liked his grunts
austere lance
Or seeing him naked, lol
echo hill
reedus does have good grunts
winter yew
huh
first I could hold 5 cleaning oils or however they're called.
gun oil apparently
anyways I could hold 5, I managed to craft the legend of the east satchel, and suddenly I can hold 99.
and Dunno if that's right. π
seems like a proper upgrade.
winter yew
Now I can't even fucking exist without this piece of shit crashing. Like, lol. Can sit on my ass in my camp, cook shit, boom. Get the fuck out to the pulpit, bitch.
oh cool, new warframe update announced tho.
still need to get on killing my new lich.
got most mods, just need to do the deed, got so burned out after getting them, and this fucker's not going anywhere, so... π
good ol shy.
and update proper
well announcement.
austere lance
@echo hill Scan and explore EVERYTHING

That can only go well
austere lance
@echo hill Where you at?
echo hill
||I'm fighting ogdo bogdo||
austere lance
Heh, people looooooove fighting him on Grandmaster
austere lance
Wait til you start fighting people, lol. Gotta git gud with timing when you're fighting anything tougher than Scout Troopers
If you really really feel like doing a challenge don't go to the planet the story wants you to go to after the one you're on, choose the sketchy planet instead xD
austere lance
Congrats, you beat the first optional boss! They don't get any easier π¬
echo hill
oh @austere lance I did it without ||Healing stims|| too
austere lance
Jesus
winter yew
as it tends to do with early access titles yeah.
I still can't find elder scrolls blades using this fkn store. π
need to go to browser, and from there to a page.
periodically checking if it's compatible with my device yet or not.
Fools errand, but you never know, till you know, you know?
crisp sparrow
Aaaaaaaaaaa
It won't be a silent hill like game but more of an action RPG but I'm still hyped
echo hill
@austere lance ||Is it possible to 100% the first planet youre on without progressing further?||
reef storm
I don't believe it is. I think there was a place that ||Force Push|| or ||Force Pull|| was required
reef storm
Yeah. Same
echo hill
Okay ||dathomir|| can eat my ass
reef storm
LOL - I only got as far as ||The Wanderer because I don't have Double Jump yet||
Admittedly, I'm not that far into the game
echo hill
im playing on grandmaster
reef storm
Nope. Story mode for me
I think I might actually play Subnautica now...
I hate not being tired.
austere lance
Not a chest, lol. There's a workbench that you reeeaaaally wanna look at
austere lance
You'll really really really really like what's on the workbench
reef storm
and here I was about to fire up Subnautica.
austere lance
I um, made a very not-manly noise when I got it
austere lance
It's sorta under his bridge on either the left or right side
reef storm
Gotcha
austere lance
This was my friend's reaction π (I cropped it so there's no spoilers, don't worry)
reef storm
Hahaha
austere lance
I recommend sprinting through all the enemies to make the trip there faster, lol. That's what I did on my second playthrough
@echo hill Keep going til you reach the old man, then follow the directions I gave Grandpa π
