to my mind a good balance is having a short main story but a host of satisfying side stories that are purely optional to indulge in for replays

daring spear
#

Don't call that phrasing cuz I just did

cinder vessel
#

lol

#

honestly tho games already have an issue of folks never completing them, so i can't help thinking the, "gib long games" folks are a vocal minority

Microsoft is being weird and giving everyone $2 worth of Microsoft Points every week, lol. Remember when I mentioned getting points last week? I checked yesterday and had another 2k points waiting 😆

Shhhhh, it's for science

I don't even play the game, and I feel it.

winter yew

3 bad

#

corridor shooter

austere lance
#

3 was broken af if you tried to stealth through it, I would quietly takedown a dude in a corner then his friends from across the room would magically detect me

#

I liked 2 tho

winter yew
#

yeaaah

#

im reinstalling 1 to play through it again, last i remember it had some really bad bugs lol

#

like i was driving a car and it just FLIPS for no reason

austere lance
#

Happy I finally got Control tho, and I've been meaning to get Mark of the Ninja since the original release. Getting the remaster works too 😆

winter yew
#

Mark of the Ninja is interesting

#

i already own the uncharted collection but that is like 100+ hrs of gameplay right there

cinder vessel
#

@winter yew tell them to make online multiplayer free

#

that will keep more people indoors

winter yew
#

Ok hang on.

cinder vessel
#

thx

austere lance
#

@cinder vessel Seeing how that makes em a large percentage of their income I don't think that's gonna happen, lol

cinder vessel
#

It's stupid because they could keep the same rates and just give u "free" games

#

people would still pay for that, because it is cheaper than directly buying individual games

austere lance

Mark of the Ninja: Remastered has no business being this good, lol

Fallout 76 on sale right now on GamesPlanet for $20. If you felt the game was shit on launch and were waiting for a deep discount, 50% is pretty deep, and there's the wastelander update yesterday. For more info on the state of the game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VWUE1byzT4

For my own situation: I saw the launch of the game and never bought it, until this update...and this discount combined.

Fallout 76: Wastelanders - The Good, The Bad, and The Broken

Fallout 76 returns with the huge Wastelanders update, adding in NPCs, towns, factions, reputation, dialogue, and plenty more too, so let's see what works, what doesn't, and what's just plain broken...

Fallout 76 on Steam - https://store.steampowered.com/app/1151340/Fallout_76...

▶ Play video
#

I'm still installing, but I can afford to burn $20 if it's still shit - but in reality it was largely the absence of human NPC that kept me from the game on launch

#

now 40 hours into death stranding

#

not really liking the ||battlefield|| sequences

#

i do love the walking simulator tho 🤓

#

how can he be a "legend" at the beginning of the story when he got jelly legs and can barely stand up without falling over?

cinder vessel
#

everyone else had jellier legs somehow

willow crypt
#

All humans have jelly legs sometimes

#

Which is why I loved the power exoskeleton

#

Speed skeleton was too risky

#

I feel like more people need to give DS a chance. The news about how it did didn't please Sony kinda pisses me off

chrome abyss
#

If I wanted a walking simulator I'd buy a treadmill 😅

cinder vessel
#

it's really more of a hiking simulator

#

and really, who wants to go hiking that much, lol

#

so it fills a pretty good niche imo

winter yew
#

I loved seeing where I could climb to with the ladders and ropes

#

The ||ziplines|| definitely made the game a lot easier

cinder vessel
#

They OP

#

and so good

silver sparrow
#

and funs

#

i basically try to ride a trike or truck everywhere, even when it is stupid

#

and am a road building monster

winter yew
#

I built every road I could find

willow crypt
#

Me too

#

@chrome abyss or you could work out in real life AND play a really good game known as Death Stranding

winter yew
#

Didn’t someone rig up something for walking in VR? Maybe that could be applied to Death Stranding somehow lol

#

Oh wow

willow crypt
#

That'd be quite a journey

winter yew
#

Someone made a unity demo lmao

cloud mango
#

oh shoot lol that would be wacky

lavish obsidian
#

@winter yew it's really interesting, but i feel that a walking simulator would need some innovative leaps in locomotion

#

handswinger tech is a nice candidate, or headbob, since analog movement is nausea inducing and quite frankly, boring

I do have to ask though ||how did you like having to cross that huge lake with all the BT monsters chasing you||

silver sparrow

ez pz 🙂

my heart was racing lmao

i only got smashed once

lmao same

in my "server"? i saw ||one lonely zip line that went nowhere||

idk how the ||resource sharing|| works

it was an attempt

#

its kinda hard to explain in a nutshell really

silver sparrow
#

i also ||killed about 30 bts trying to clear the area||

winter yew
#

porters donate materials at checkpoints or the different ports you deliver to

silver sparrow
#

plus the ||floating carrier||

winter yew

and you can use them

#

that thing was super useful in the mountains

silver sparrow

but across how many players

#

surely not all of them

winter yew
#

also ||DO THE PIZZA DELIVERY MISSIONS||

silver sparrow
#

oh

#

i did not do

||you can wait until you finish the game to do them, but trust me, it's worth it||

Loving Yakuza 0 so far but I'm so torn on whether I want to pick up the other ones... they're all like 30+ hours each and there's eight of them once 7 is out? Plus Judgment

#

pretty sure I'll overdose on yakuza three or so games in. or I could turn it into a multi-year video game project and take it slow but that just feels insurmountable

The original was really just a tech demo

It just had a very good game wrapped up in that.

#

Time to try Control 👀

whole dew
#

I've liked control so far

#

very fun game

austere lance

So far the only Remedy game I've liked was Alan Wake, this looks good tho

Control is very good, I beat the main story. Haven't checked out the expansion yet.

This game is crazy

#

Not a fan of Hiss Agents

#

Creepy floating bastards

bronze wind

It gets better as you progress

#

Felt like a standard 3rd person shooter during the first couple hours for me

#

just with a cool story

silver sparrow
whole dew
#

yeah it's basically just SCP

#

but it's still fun

#

also on PS4 it kinda sucks, a few glitches here and there. clearly a port.

austere lance
#

It lags like a bastard during fights with more than three enemies. Or with the flying telekinetic dudes

#

Fuck those guys btw

#

Just got Shatter

@austere lance is Control done downloading yet

animal crossing isn't chill, change my mind

I'll cross your animals

bronze wind
#

i don't think you actually want to have your mind changed so I won't discuss it

cinder vessel
#

tbh i'm just saying junk it is chill, just don't get caught up in the stalk market

#

or trying to keep up with others

#

otherwise the game can be obnoxious af

winter yew
#

i took my time with New Leaf

coarse swift
#

You can get caught up in the stalk market, or.....

winter yew
#

I'm gonna take my time with New Horizons

coarse swift

You can get two switches and have one farm for a good price time

#

I've visited friends that are not rushing the game but they have been playing literally all day

#

which is insane

coarse swift
#

See that's my wife

#

But she has been rushing too

#

It's been non-stop AC.

winter yew
#

I bet you hear the 'acquire item' sound in your sleep

#

WUPOO!

coarse swift
#

Not quite

#

She has the same damn songs playing all the time on radios sitting around

winter yew
#

oh shit lmao

#

I switch mine up every other day

#

have KK Disco currently playing in the 'chill' area outside the town center

coarse swift
#

Cant remember the exact names of the one's she has going

winter yew
coarse swift
#

But its usually something close to 50's

winter yew
#

the animals usually like singing to this one

coarse swift
#

I think she goes to Ragtime a bit

#

And a couple others

#

Oh that one

#

She has that in her arcade.

winter yew
#

noice

#

I need to make an arcade eventually

#

I saw one on twitter that looked amazing

coarse swift
#

I only need those astral stuffs sweats

#

The floor man

#

The floor

winter yew
#

DUDE ive been in places that had that floor

coarse swift
#

The need for it is real

winter yew
#

the fooseball tables are too close

#

other than that, i LOVE that layout

coarse swift
#

The best thing I've seen yet is just a barren room with that floor, a black wall, and a single toilet in the center

winter yew
#

ahah

coarse swift
#

Oh shit thats a nice arcade

#

I need that wall

i don't know where you even get music in AC yet, lol

Its always at the bottom of the list in special goods

winter yew
#

all the way down

cinder vessel
#

yeah, i check special goods most of the time, just haven't seen any yet

winter yew
#

🤔

#

odd, i have a new one every day

cinder vessel
#

or maybe i overlooked them thonk

coarse swift
#

Another way is to have KK sing to you

cinder vessel
#

it's been a few days since last i played

coarse swift
#

Whatever song he plays by request first he'll slip you a CD

cinder vessel
#

i got a little bummed looking at the infrastructure prices and so just put it down for a bit

coarse swift
#

I know that feel

#

I have to relocate every single villager home

#

That aint cheap.

#

Or imagine having to move your tailor's shop twice because the location you wanted it in was literally right next to where it was, but too close to make it work

cinder vessel
#

what guts me even more is that there isn't even like some bundle deal...if you want multiple bridges or ramps...you gotta pay for each individual one 😱

coarse swift
#

What guts me is that there's a limit to them

cinder vessel
#

wat

coarse swift
#

8 of each.

cinder vessel
#

wait of like each type, or of bridges/ramps generally squinteyes

coarse swift
#

Generally

#

8 bridges, 8 ramps

cinder vessel
#

hrrm

#

for bridges that's probably okayish but ramps that's a bit low

coarse swift
#

aye

cinder vessel
#

wait

#

why the fuck am i trying to do anything like that in animal crossing anyway

#

should just go to dragon quest builders 2 or lego worlds for my world remodeling ventures

coarse swift
#

#

DQB2

#

Havent touched that in ages

#

Malroth must miss me greatly.

cinder vessel
#

both underrated games imo

#

Oh yeah I don't get caught up in the turnip stuff

cinder vessel
#

well, probably lego worlds more than dqb2

I just play casually

At least you didn't say Roblox.

winter yew

Don't hate on Roblox.

#

Meep City gang gang 🙌

coarse swift
#

I don't hate it.

cinder vessel
#

all i know about roblox is it reminds me vaguely of like...Mega Bloks, I think?

coarse swift
#

I spent my time there... 13 years ago.

#

Before it was popular.

cinder vessel
#

wait...that is roblox i'm thinking of right, with the knockoff minifigs?

coarse swift
#

Something like that.

Hmm, should I play Bulletstorm or Control or Mark of the Ninja

#

Why must Control run so badly

silver sparrow
#

mark of the controlled bullet

austere lance
#

This game coulda used a wee bit more optimization, it's one of maybe three games I've played that runs like hell

Lol, I looked it up and apparently it's well known for having performance issues on anything besides the Xbone X and PS4 Pro

Wish there was ng+

cinder vessel
#

@austere lance are you talking about Control? i...didn't have too many issues with performance (post updates) on a base PS4...

austere lance
#

It has issues on our One S. Freezes for a couple seconds after backing out of menus, lags whenever there's fights with more than a few enemies, and the sound gets distorted and crackles when explosions happen. Plus it takes a solid 45+ seconds to load the game up/reload a checkpoint after dying

#

That last one is probably just the old "non-pro consoles loading new games slowly" problem tbh

cinder vessel
#

=/

#

Yeah, PS4 has slowdowns in really busy fights and some delays with the menus, but it seemed to me only the first few fights really stressed it out and past that the worst of it was menu delays a bit

#

I don't recall the load-in after dying much, not that I didn't die a bunch, but it never felt overly long to me? thonk

austere lance
#

🤷

Anchor boss fight was 20x easier than the stupid fridge @cinder vessel

cinder vessel

uhh, is fridge part of the story or is that a side boss

austere lance
#

Side boss from hell

cinder vessel

Hmm, maybe I didn't/haven't fought it

austere lance
#

Don't

cinder vessel
#

After I finished the story I went to check out the basement

austere lance
#

It's in the containment sector

#

Literally one of the worst-designed boss fights I've ever seen in a game. It's hard af as it is til you get to his final stage, then it's just bullshit

#

Tho it'll probably be easy for someone who's got end-game upgrades

silver sparrow

i did not see control in the recent ps4 sale

austere lance

It has an interesting story and alright gameplay but has random ridiculous difficulty spikes and some questionable design decisions, lol

@cinder vessel Also, I thought you hated when games were all about "10% more damage" type upgrades 😆

#

@silver sparrow It's worth playing, definitely. You WILL die tho, lol

cinder vessel
#

oh i don't care for the upgrades, yeah

#

but i do like the different powers

#

weapon modes are okay-ish but not super interesting to me

#

it's basically pistol, assault rifle, charged shot, shotgun (I think), and something else?

#

like a grenade style shot i think

austere lance
#

Yep

silver sparrow
#

i don't want to die

I played the hell outta the alpha and betas then kinda stopped before Hungering Deep cuz I got bored

austere lance
#

Nice, lol. Stopped playing before you could get cool cannons

#

Hell, I stopped playing before Meg existed

echo hill
#

dude you gotta try it out again

#

at least give it another chance

#

its so much fun

austere lance

I vaguely remember poking Tall Tales when they released, did the first one solo then got bored and played other stuff. I'm a sad boomer who mostly plays singleplayer stuff 😆

So I've heard about this Hello Labs thingy made by the NMS devs, but all I find are articles. Is there like an official site for this thing?

echo hill
#

@austere lance I've set these guy's boat on fire twice now. they still have no idea that im sleeping in their crows nest

austere lance
echo hill
#

never gets old

#

update

#

they finally found me

cinder vessel
#

rip

crisp sparrow
#

Hello labs never really took off @dusty yacht

dusty yacht
#

I see. Kinda what I feared but somehow that's nowhere official written, not wikipedia, nor the hello games website

crisp sparrow
#

I think it just devolved into them giving a couple technical lectures about how they used proc gen

dusty yacht
#

Kind of a shame. I wish we could build quicker on NMS, and do something like a space exploration game with proc factions too or stuff

crisp sparrow
#

that's unrelated to Hello labs tho

#

they just wanted to make resources for devs to implement proc gen to their games

#

which is probably why it didnt take off lol, not like their proc gen is revolutionary enough to warrant that

#

aside from the terrain gen stuff but I think (take it with a grain of salt as I do not have source) other studios have achieved the same with better results

dusty yacht
#

Have they...? Can't think of any game with procgen like that

#

In the first place I don't even know another game that procgens entire planets tbh

crisp sparrow
#

not entire planets but terrain

meager panther
#

They already told two games are being cooked in hello labs

crisp sparrow
#

If I remember the xbox game that had this I'll let you know otherwise ignore that text

#

They already told two games are being cooked in hello labs
Hello labs is not the studio, that's Hello Games

dusty yacht
#

Right, that's the point. A bit of procgen terrain isn't spectacular, whole planets and stuff you can walk around kinda more, because of the whole spherical geometry

crisp sparrow
#

the reason its spectacular isnt the fact that they generated whole planets which is not that novel but just not actually done

#

the reason is that it was all done with just math

cinder vessel
#

that's kind of procedural generation in a nutshell tho so far as i'm aware... thonk

crisp sparrow
#

the scale is what's important

dusty yacht
#

Yeah. The more layers of human intervention you want to automate the harder it is, and the generation in NMS has no layers left, so as you said, pure math. Hm... I'm kinda interested in those algorithms too

crisp sparrow
#

lmao 2017 memes

dusty yacht
#

Noice

crisp sparrow
#

idk the timestamp but its in this clip where he talked about starting Hello Labs

dusty yacht
#

Well, if he's gonna talk about the math behind it I'll watch the whole thing anyway

crisp sparrow
#

its pretty possible they haven't abandoned the project, but it needs funding in a way that they still havent got even with all the sales for nms

cinder vessel
#

it's not in incredible detail just so ya know Xor

crisp sparrow
cinder vessel
#

goes over some of the experiments, mentions layers of mathematical noise to create the appearance of a naturally formed environment

dusty yacht
#

Hm yeah, I doubt I'd have time for the full detail, lest I'd actually work with it. For incredible math detail I go to other topics of current math research

#

So that'll be just about right most likely

crisp sparrow
#

plus they wouldnt reveal all of their work

#

just a general idea of what they worked

#

that's why I think they came up with Hello Labs, monetize their code as an API/software that other devs can implement to their games

#

btw the meat of the video is at 20:00

dusty yacht
#

Just came past him burning on his own bug he spread through multiple games lol

#

@crisp sparrow Then again FU really is just about the single most excessive mod I personally know about. It completely rewrites the game to the point of complete save game incompatibility

crisp sparrow
#

I know that, but even with FU the game still seems a little lackluster compared to terraria, based on the letsplays I've seen (I havent played with the mod myself)

#

oh then again I saw it for 1.3, if 1.4 added a ton more things then I can understand

dusty yacht
#

Also strongly depends on when you saw that. FU has been rolling on for a long time. The last FU update I got was... today.

#

So FU from today and a year ago are already very different. I first played vanilla Starbound close to release, then with FU like... a bit less than a year ago

#

I played Terraria around the same time up to the moon... god... thingy. The last endboss and the alien pillars

#

I think in Terraria I saw all the stuff in something like 60-80 hours. Starbound FU I'm 500h in... I'm still missing stuff. Not taking the newer updates into account even

i looked through a list of 'best open world games for ps4" and the only interesting one i hadn't bought was spider man

#

so i bought spider man

cinder vessel
#

oh

#

it's fun enough, but it's very much like other AAA open world games

silver sparrow
#

yeah i think i prefer watch dogs 2

cinder vessel
#

i went in without many expectations and was kinda surprised at all the praise given that it really might as well be like a Ubisoft open world game

Hey I'm sitting through WD2 atm.

GREAT game.

My very favourite open world game is Infamous: Second Son for those wondering.

That game is bae.

i did like that

#

i got for free on ps plus i think

#

finished it

#

love a good tech tree

cinder vessel
#

huh

#

I wouldn't have expected that

#

I played through that game and did almost everything i think

#

It was fun, enjoyed the story from the first game the most tho

silver sparrow
#

nms was the last game i 100% i think 😅

winter yew
#

I didn't 100% NMS.

cinder vessel
#

Oh wait, I shouldn't say that I did almost everything in Second Son, as I never did a...Bad playthrough, I think

silver sparrow
#

but that was what...4 years ago?

daring spear
#

I still haven't done the story much in nms

#

anyway

cinder vessel
#

Second Son's story didn't do enough for me to try the bad run

silver sparrow
#

i find it hard to do a dark one

#

run

#

maybe i tried in kotor 1 i think

cinder vessel
#

It's usually so hamfisted I just find it kinda silly

daring spear
#

I did the bad path in Prey

#

lol

cinder vessel
#

i don't think i realized it had multiple paths, lol

silver sparrow

daring spear

I did a good run first, then killed everyone second time around

I'm still yet to play Prey.

#

and tlou ofc but i don't like zombie games in general

daring spear

I dunno what my gold standard would be. Haven't really found any favorites in a while

I picked up Deep Sky Derelicts yesterday and it is a lot of fun

#

So far it's essentially a more forgiving (sci fi) version of Darkest Dungeon with mechanics I enjoy much more than DD

silver sparrow

hm

#

low res?

bronze wind
#

What?

silver sparrow
#

aka i can play it without a gfx card

bronze wind
#

You can look at screenshots or gameplay lol

#

It's similar to darkest dungeon art style

silver sparrow
#

pew pew alien brain

#

20 bux not bad

#

i might take a closer look, i'm lowkey bored with spider man already

bronze wind
#

can get the DLCs for $5 more if you get deluxe edition as well, rather than pay an additional $15 or whatever to get htem later

#

Check out some gameplay first if you wanna make sure it's something you're into

#

I've seen people mention bugs but the only one I've encountered so far was an infinite load bug but when I reloaded the game it had saved my game as if I made it through the loading screen so it didn't matter

pretty sure it's fake anyways though

either that or I have no hope left for humanity

It's a joke trailer, lol

ah yes the age old tradition of 4/20 pranks

#

It is fake but honestly wouldn't have surprised me given how fast the writing deteriorated in season 1

austere lance
#

It didn't deteriorate that far

bronze wind
#

Not at all lol, thankfully

#

I do still hope it improves for S2 though

meager panther

How can it be fake

is it wrong that i now regret buying spider man?

i considered prey and metro exodus but they are literally too dark to play

Prey is 😍

#

Easily one of my favorite games of the decade

#

@silver sparrow How are they too dark?

silver sparrow
#

poorly lit and/or blackout conditions

#

at least from the gameplay i saw of both

austere lance
#

Uh, no

#

Prey has a retro space-1970's vibe and Metro Exodus has levels in deserts and stuff

daring spear
#

I love Prey

prey was smart, but overstayed its welcome a bit

||it was most effective when there were no humans around, which later on kind of lets you see where the game starts to fall apart||

except ||trevor||

austere lance
#

Anywho, Prey isn't remotely dark @silver sparrow

daring spear
#

||man fuck that dude||

lavish obsidian
#

||mmm, but it was heavily reliant on atmosphere and isolationist "metroidvania" elements before they started putting in all the humans - and as the game progresses, the Nightmares cease to terrify, just reduced to a nuisance that will either set you back on some progress or will take some of your effort to kill over and over again||

#

@worn jacinth I really wouldn't. Not with corporations at the helm all fighting over that first past the post profit.

#

Games are a corporate strategy in 2020 more than an artistic expression. Developers have platforms they plan for and going beyond that to reach more people often involves pulling in less savory professionals with different agendas in mind.

Look at how shit Bethesda became in under five years.
