shit idk where my phone is

cinder vessel
#

lol

austere lance
#

Idk why some games have stats tracked and others don't

cinder vessel
#

just depends on what stats the devs decide to track and which they decide to let you see

echo hill
#

is it under achievements?

#

aha

#

it is

winter yew
#

Yes it is.

@austere lance

austere lance

Damn son

cinder vessel
#

@charred badge btw which Gundam Breaker did you play last?

charred badge
#

#

It's uh... the only one I've played

#

But man, the finale

meager panther
#

Achievement unlocked 69. Well done bee @echo hillseanbomination

echo hill

thank you gamer 🙂

meager panther

I am making a 69 joke

#

Beeeee

charred badge

You will give me a eggneck

Shut up, I beat you that to joke.

meager panther
#

I am only opening the chat now

winter yew
#

smh my head

meager panther
#

I actually opened it to say dual universe trailer is out and its so bad

#

Like eww

winter yew
#

I should check that out.

#

Thanks Gamer.

meager panther
#

No i came to ask lile does anyone else even find it good to look at

#

Like the game looks so "bad"

winter yew
#

WHOA, even that trailer showed a serious drop in FPS.

#

which trailer?

#

A part from that, it looks pretty nice.

#

I'll more than likely pick it up.

#

Dual Universe.

#

overview trailer?

#

Yes Sir.

#

looks cool!!

#

Gamer is right though, is a lot of bad being shown but I guess limitations has forced that.

#

I'm for sure gunna check it out, I'm a sucker for that type of thing.

austere lance
meager panther
#

I am talking about the asthetics of the game

#

They need to hire artists and a new design team

#

Even the default ms paint 3d app has better lighting and visuals than this game

raven frost
#

dual universe looks

#

a lot worse than I remember it tbh

winter yew
#

I can't wait to build a city and then fly a spaceship in to all the buildings.

raven frost
#

hell yeah dude

winter yew
#

Where is it being sold?? Steam?

cedar ingot
#

starbase looks cool :)

winter yew
#

Looks like their own launcher.

#

Pledge packs similar to Star Citizen it looks like.

#

Quite off putting if I'm being honest.

#

oh boy

raven frost
#

yeah no I'm not putting up with that shit again

winter yew
#

I'm still sad about how Mechwarrior 5 ended up 😦

raven frost
#

SC should've abandoned pledge packages a long time ago but no

cinder vessel
#

@winter yew oh, what's up with Mechwarrior 5?

#

lmao Dual Universe always looked pretty...rough to me

winter yew
#

just really poor AI and the story is a bit meh

cinder vessel
#

oh =/

winter yew
#

that and its still Epic exclusive so I haven't really bothered to touch it myself

#

but

#

I've seen plenty of actual gameplay and reviews to trust that it may not be an ideal game for me

austere lance
#

Apparently Stadia just did some sort of "big" stream and it was only 16 minutes long, lol

winter yew
#

lmao.

#

I need this to go on sale

cinder vessel
#

it's so good

raven frost
cinder vessel
#

NO

austere lance
#

LMFAOOOOOO

raven frost
#

that's literally all that was announced

austere lance
#

Mmmm, FIFA on Stadia 😩

winter yew
#

oh holy shit lma0

raven frost
#

also PUBG

cinder vessel
#

tbh Acey I need DxM to go on sale too because the only way I'll ever try its multiplayer is on PC, lol

austere lance
#

Tbh they should just cut their losses, xCloud already won

raven frost

I just want Aragami to go on sale so I can scratch my Mark of the Ninja itch 😭

from a Verge article:


Google is also planning to launch Crayta exclusively on Stadia this summer, free for Stadia Pro members. Crayta is a collaborative game creation and sharing platform powered by Unreal Editor 4, and players of varying skill levels will be able to build multiplayer games with Crayta. Co-op game Get Packed is also launching on Stadia today, priced at $19.99, with campaign and versus modes for up to four players.```

I CALLED IT, THERE'S FIFA 🤣🤣🤣

meager panther
#

Fifa vykeen

#

Tbh i see many people playing fifa

#

Just plug in your internet on tv and play fifa

austere lance
#

Wtf, it has knockoff Dreams?

raven frost
#

even stadia fans aren't happy about the stream being so short

meager panther
#

Lmao

cinder vessel
#

stadia fans be like google show us ur love pls and google be like sorry we busy

coarse swift
#

Was probably about the best way for Stadia to succeed, by partnering with the whale-fed company.

#

Remembering that there was Stadia exclusive FFXV content now... haroldpain

austere lance
#

So we know xCloud is gonna have massive server buildings full of One X consoles (which will be replaced by Series X's later) running games for you to stream, what's gonna be running Stadia games?

#

@cinder vessel You'll appreciate this, lol
In some examples provided by Microsoft, the new developer tools allow creators to make multiplayer matches in the cloud more seamless by moving all connections to the same server, and enables games to scale font size depending on the screen you're using

#

Maybe they'll start using that tech with every game

cedar ingot
#

@raven frost set up your vr

#

i swear to god

#

i will skin you

cinder vessel
#

oh ffs you don't need your shit on servers to scale the fucking fonts

rigid haven
#

I'm very surprised font scaling isn't an option in most games these days

wet warren
#

Ikr. I clearly love having a hard time reading text in such a tiny font

rigid haven
#

There's this one thing, a private server for the game Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst, which let's you change the entire font

#

Obviously some work better than others but it's cool as shit

cinder vessel
#

I'm surprised developers don't seem to realize many folks aren't sitting directly in front of their displays

#

"what, you mean most people don't sit like a centimetre from their screen?"

charred badge
#

I'm sorry, what?

#

who the hell thinks a pile of full consoles is the ideal streaming host setup?

#

the tiny font is because stupid big screen setups

austere lance
#

Nobody? Was just curious what's gonna be running Stadia games

charred badge
#

I have nightmares of ps3 borderlands 2 font

#

I mean, all servers for BB are private now, lol

cinder vessel
#

wait how does tiny font make sense on stupid big screens

#

wouldn't that just make it look even smaller

dry copper
#

I would like red dead redemption 2 to go on sale for 52% off

Lol

It's on Game Pass 😉

brisk merlin
#

austere lance
#

Ain't it on PC Game Pass too?

charred badge
#

@cinder vessel bigger screen with same proportions means bigger text

cinder vessel
#

but you'll also probably be further from the screen to take it all in...so...

charred badge
#

a lot of people have stupid big desktop setups

@winter yew I finally took the time to practice the move in Daemon x Machina I mentioned, spinning around while firing and figured it out.

Not only that, but I found out it doesn't cost ammo when you manage it! I think I'm gonna call it the Blindfire Twirl. It's wicked!

New song from one of my favorite artists just released about 40 minutes ago and I wanted to share it here for everyone. His voice is beautiful. https://youtu.be/mXhWG4LXxGE

"Written and recorded in quarantine, The Outside is about feeling stuck in your own head, and the effects that has on the people around you. More specifically, it’s an apology to the people who I’ve pushed away in those moments."

#

What I've taken from this is that digital art is nowhere near as complicated as I thought it was.

#

I'm not saying it's easy, far from it, but I thought there was a lot more to it.

#

BUT, I guess anything is like that. It's difficult cause I don't know how to, becomes easy as soon as I do.

Dude what since when does an Elite ship have a full interior

ripe frost
#

This fan needs to make his own game lol he knows what we want

charred badge
#

Yeah, it's pretty great

#

He did a cobra first

#

On the other hand, that's why SC is getting lots of money

#

The scale is interesting, though. It definitely sets even the smallest Elite ships as more gunboat than fighter

dry copper
#

You should see the guided tour inside of my NMS ship

#

#

Tour of nautilon: "Ignore the radar panel. It's just cosmetic."

#

@ripe frost FF at least keeps trying to innovate with each mainline... usually for no good reason and with mediocre results past 9, but hey.

ripe frost
#

FF? You never played 12?

cinder vessel
#

@charred badge if it was as simple to execute, 100%, but as it takes a bit of precise timing...Twirl it is

@ripe frost 12 was just a souped up version of .hack, and I wasn't a fan of .hack.

MMO tab targeting is fine due to the limitations of thousands of players

ripe frost
#

Indeed

winter yew

Honestly yeah, it does.

austere lance
#

I'm not bothering with even looking at the trailers unless it has all the fake RPG shit removed

winter yew
#

AC Odyssey is genuinely the best AC game for a LONG while.

#

(My opinion entirely)

#

It's got me excited for this new one so that's something.

meager panther
#

I played origins after Odyssey it felt so meh

#

Odyssey at least is good

#

Minus the grind that is

austere lance
#

I didn't bother with Odyssey, Origins pissed me off

meager panther
#

Odyssey is so much better than origins

winter yew
#

I ignored Odyssey because of Origins and regretted waiting to play.

austere lance
#

Wannabe RPG=/=Assassins Creed

winter yew
#

Odyssey is 👌

meager panther
#

I stopped origins after 5 hours

#

But Odyssey is great

winter yew
#

I'm 220 hours playtime in Odyssey.

meager panther
#

I went to Cleopatra's home and it looked so bland. So i stopped playing after that lol

winter yew
#

You should give it a chance Soul.

austere lance
#

They shouldn't even be AC games, shoulda just went with a new franchise

winter yew
#

Oh I absolutely agree with that.

austere lance
#

The only thing they have to do with the franchise is like two plot points

winter yew
#

AC sells I guess.

#

Use the brand to sell the game.

cinder vessel
#

Assassin's Creed is 100% no longer about assassinations or anything, not that it ever did that terribly well to begin with...

rigid haven
#

The last ac I played was syndicate and I liked the aesthetic of that

austere lance
#

I grew up playing the Ezio trilogy and got all three games as they released, then I got AC III and liked it. Black Flag was 😍, didn't touch Unity, and I liked Syndicate. Tried Origins and wanted to die within two hours

#

Grindy bs with shit combat, stealth, and lootboxes

winter yew
#

Origins is a major downfall.

austere lance
#

After that disaster I wasn't touching anything else, Ubi obviously doesn't give a damn and is just trying to farm money from diehard fans and RPG players

cinder vessel
#

tfw even diehard RPG fans don't wanna put up with their beloved grinds, lmao

austere lance
#

I might consider the next game if it has none of this godawful excuse for an RPG bs

winter yew
#

The RPG elements are nice, I hope they keep them.

#

I'd even go as far and say I hope they are implementing something similar in to WD3.

cinder vessel
#

Personally RPG is more about narrative choice than stat garbage to me

winter yew
#

The narrative choices in AC Odyssey are pretty fucking deep.

austere lance
#

Stat garbage in AC 😬

cinder vessel
#

So like if they kept the narrative choices and scrapped the stat junk I'd probably be cool with it

austere lance
#

Surprised they didn't make Odyssey online-only with an MMO hub

#

Oh wait, that'll probably be the new one

winter yew
#

After the backlash from Breakpoint, I doubt it.

cinder vessel
#

They're still busy trying to salvage Ghost Recon: whatwasthisonecalled?

#

There we go

winter yew
#

Breakpoint genuinely fucked them up.

austere lance
#

Good

winter yew
#

Absolutely

cinder vessel
#

Not good, they'll just salvage it to a mediocre state like they did with The Division 1 and make another later, whether in the same franchise or not

winter yew
#

They should have just stuck with the Wildlands formula IMO.

#

Or at least expand upon it.

austere lance
#

Maybe they realized people don't like stat shit. A ton of people were like 👀 when Ghost mode let you completely remove the looter aspects and turn it into a normal third-person shooter

cinder vessel
#

whaddya talkin' about i like my bullet sponges, we really get to know each other by filling each other up with bullets, it's v. romantic

austere lance
#

Hopefully they do that with the new AC. Damage-sponge enemies and gear having levels can fuck right off, grow a pair and make a decent game that doesn't rely on that crap to artificially extend it

cinder vessel
#

it's kinda funny i rail on the stats stuff but enjoy Daemon x Machina, but y'know, the big difference is the stats in that kinda game are gear-based mostly so you gear up vs. spending ages leveling to allocate points for +5% or whatever

winter yew
#

How the fuck is DL still getting DLC though?

#

JFC

austere lance
#

I really wanted to like that game but I'd burned out on Dead Island years ago and Dying Light just felt like it with better graphics and parkour

winter yew
#

Leon, I've seen you mention Daemon x Machina a few times lately. You've peaked my interest, I'm gunna check it out.

cinder vessel
#

I LOVE TO BLINDFIRE TWIRL

#

And it has some cool music as you're blasting through bots

austere lance
#

I just want a Mark of the Ninja sequel 😔

winter yew
#

The art style is REAL nice.

austere lance
#

Best stealth game made by a small studio in the last decade, no contest

#

It got ridiculously high reviews from everyone 😩

#

So why no sequel

cinder vessel
#

Don't Starve took over /s

winter yew
#

I'm not a huge fan of stealth games.

#

Last stealth game I played was maybe Alien Isolation and that's pushing it to be called a stealth game.

cinder vessel
#

Seriously though, the extended support for Don't Starve has continued to surprise me

#

@austere lance i looooooove tld

#

not playing it atm but it is fantastic for mid-stress survival

#

if you can classify survival games by stress level

#

and also they have (arguably) greatly improved the story mode chapters since version 1.3 or w/ev

dry copper
#

I wish they'd finish TLD

#

I was heavy into that for the longest time, but lost interest in the inevitable...and the absence of story felt...

#

Robbed.

#

They're only, how many years behind schedule?

silver sparrow
#

inb4 indie shop standard arguments 😉

dry copper
#

No idea what that means.

#

Hinterland Studios is about as independent as a studio gets that is receiving money from the government

#

Though to be fair they did pay that back - but that does not negate the fact. They didn't start off in a bad position. The product is good. It's just not complete...six years and over $6mil in profits later

#

As far as independent developers go, turning a million in profits a year for a game that's not been finished for over half a decade is pretty good.

okay ill be honest that looks fucking sick

I have a weak spot for games that let you have a home that you can expand and upgrade, which is apparently a thing in the new AC

You get a whole Viking settlement to grow

Also that levels crap in Odyssey wont be in this

#

@cinder vessel what did you think of Generation Zero?

daring spear
#

Ehhhhh

cinder vessel
#

@bronze wind so, uh, i played a bit earlier today and thought I may have screwed myself over, but then I figured out the inventory system is just a tad...Different.

It's tough solo, not sure how it handles coop (which is what it was meant more for). The robots hit hard and are accurate, for the most part. Solo, this means you end up playing it a bit stealthy, trying to draw them apart if they're in groups or taking them out from afar once you get better guns.

#

Despite it being tough it's kinda...Relaxing? You're not constantly fighting, instead just sorta trying to make your way around and scavenge up supplies to fight/heal...There's crafting, but I haven't even begun to dig into that yet.

#

It uses a pretty standard schematic/blueprint system from what I can tell, so you're also on the hunt for those & the supplies to craft them.

#

For what it's worth, if you have the time & hard drive space, it's free for the next few days to try

dry copper
#

For what it's worth, is it worth money?

cinder vessel
#

So far the narrative is very thin, so it hasn't fully clicked/hooked me

dry copper
#

So it's a sandbox?

cinder vessel
#

They describe it as like...A scifi guerrilla open world game, I think, lol

dry copper
#

Does the sandbox have any building in it?

cinder vessel
#

No. No building in this game.

dry copper
#

A walking simulator with guns?

cinder vessel
#

You explore buildings for resources/ammo tho

#

Can also ride bikes~

dry copper
#

Wooo...SOLD

bronze wind
#

Just realized it's free week so I'll try it

cinder vessel
#

It's a slow starter, so be ready for that

#

That's why I haven't been able to just tell you something simple like, "Oh I think it's alright" 'cause I don't think I've entirely figured out what's what yet

#

There's apparently some leveling system and skills/perks to unlock but game has done zero to go over them so far, so I dunno if I can unlock any yet, lol

bronze wind
#

I uninstalled lol, it's way too difficult right off the bat. Maybe if I got my brother to play, but even then idk

dry copper
#

One game I never played: Halo. Any of them.

#

I've heard good things, but I'm not into competitive shooters.

#

Co-op is fine.

#

PVP...meh

cinder vessel
#

lol, I somehow weather through stuff like the Souls games, so I guess the difficulty just didn't phase me...

#

You can however adjust the difficulty in the settings if you want

dry copper
#

I just don't trust PVP online with the number of cheaters in competitive gaming

#

First, I don't want to be forced into PVP, but if it's a necessary mechanic, I want more security against cheaters than I typically see

cinder vessel
#

Yeah PvP is all too often riddled with diehards that basically only ever play that specific game

daring spear
#

Halo isn't PvP...

#

A couple have the ability for it but

bronze wind
#

I enjoyed dark souls, felt like there was at least some strategy involved

dry copper
#

I'm not shitting on Halo. By all metrics, it's a good game. Just not something I've actually played or been interested in.

#

I also don't play Dark Souls, or Outlast

#

I played the Penumbra Trilogy and I was DONE with horror gaming

#

lol

bronze wind
#

In that game so far, it's basically robots that can spot you from half a mile away and are super accurate, and it takes forever to kill one with the starting pistol. Plus every area near the beginning of the game has like 4 or 5 of them patrolling

dry copper
#

I'm a pussy

austere lance
#

@dry copper Halos all have damn good campaigns that you can play solo or co-op. They also have pvp multiplayer and the newer ones also have PvE multiplayer

daring spear
#

Difficulty settings too iirc

dry copper
#

Is that game with Jon Snow in it a Halo Game?

austere lance
#

The first Halo was basically the first 3D FPS that popularized the genre

dry copper
#

I can't remember the game...It's a shooter

austere lance
#

Yes, John Snow is absolutely the Master Chief and has been since 2001 gandalf

dry copper
#

I thought that was John Cena

austere lance
#

You're thinking of CoD Infinite Warfare btw, lol

dry copper
#

Ah okay

#

I don't play CoD either, obviously

austere lance
#

CoD games haven't had a good campaign in almost a decade 😬

dry copper
#

I stopped playing competitive shooters after Battlefield 2142

daring spear
#

I like fighting against Soul in things

I always lose but it's still fun

dry copper

I really enjoyed 2142 air ships

austere lance

Tbh I've always played Halo for the story first and multiplayer second

dry copper

#

The most hardcore co-op fighting game in my library that's installed aside from FO76 is Stardew Valley.

austere lance
#

It's not really co-op, lol

#

You can play it co-op but the story just revolves around one character (Master Chief)

cinder vessel
#

In that game so far, it's basically robots that can spot you from half a mile away and are super accurate, and it takes forever to kill one with the starting pistol. Plus every area near the beginning of the game has like 4 or 5 of them patrolling
@bronze wind yeeaahh, but you can find flares & radios to distract them. Admittedly they don't give nearly enough of either right away.

You can also take them out quickly if you can manage to shoot fuel tanks conveniently on their backs.

#

But yeah, I was also taken aback at how tough they are when you can't hit those and how accurate they are...There's a good reason I said it was tough right off the bat.

bronze wind
#

yeah the hard part is usually getting close without getting really destroyed since they will see you way before you're within a reasonable range to hit them lol

#

Like I don't mind it being hard but I'd like them to either be a bit less accurate or for me to have more health / have them do less damage is all

cinder vessel
#

Yeah, starting you out with a pistol was mean

bronze wind
#

Just feels like the devs thought of everything games can do to make a game hard and decided to do it without considering how they work together or where to be more lenient

#

I tried the easiest difficulty and it was too easy too

cinder vessel
#

Ah, was gonna say I was considering trying it on a lower difficulty

bronze wind
#

You can try, it might have just been the limited time I spent on that difficulty

#

I do really enjoy the vibe of the game, just a shame it isn't my type of gameplay

cinder vessel
#

I think it's also that the difficulty scaling may just not work very well tbh

#

I had thought it might be more relaxed solo with that on, but lolno

bronze wind
#

Yeah I think it really is just built for two people who are communicating

#

I wanted to point it out to my brother and have him play with me but I could just see him getting mad or deciding not to play out of nowhere

cinder vessel
#

lol

#

I'm also not sure how much more I might play of it since there's not really been much of a story to find so far

bronze wind
#

The story makes less sense in single player too

#

"You and your friends crash on a beach"

#

"oh, it's just me"

cinder vessel
#

So it's just kinda aimlessly going about scavenging, blasting bots which is...Okay? But honestly The Signal From Tölva satisfies that itch for me way better, and it's built for solo play

bronze wind
#

The sound design in the game is awesome which is why I kept trying even after getting annoyed

#

Like the sounds the bots make, and the impact of your bullets

@daring spear how is tld so far

I got bored. However, there's a character I found early on whom I love

it's a very contemplative game

daring spear
#

I don't dislike it

#

I don't like that you can't jump

silver sparrow
#

Yeah

cinder vessel
#

lol so I think the difficulty scaling in Generation Zero may in fact be broken. I turned it off and enemies seem to hit far less hard...Still stupid accurate though, but at least this way when I was getting hit each shot was only shaving off 1 hp instead of whatever it might have been before

#

Huh, doing a quick search indicates that apparently they recently buffed the machines in Generation Zero, so that explains a lot...

Imma restart Moonlighter cuz I remember absolutely nothing about it, lol

i just finished xcom2 for the first time so i am thinking about moonlighter as well...also deep sky derelicts, farming simulator 19 since it is free on ps plus next week, transistor...

austere lance
#

I got like an hour into Moonlighter months ago then got distracted by other stuff

bronze wind
#

It's pretty good but obviously a little repetitive, can be slow at times. but if you don't take it too seriously it's a fun game

willow crypt
#

Moonlighter is a neat little game. Made me like running a store more than I thought I would. Still need to finish it

#

Almost done with FFVII remake

#

But yeah it gets repetitive

#

Which I'm not a fan of

bronze wind
#

I liked Moonlighter a lot, I wasn't a huge fan of the sort of economy management portion and guessing prices for items in hopes that you get a good price for something, but it was still enjoyable

willow crypt
#

Wish there was a mechanic to set a bear trap that kills the thieves

@austere lance price guide where

austere lance
silver sparrow
#

thanks

#

i agree about the price setting comments made

#

it's not like when i am buying a rusty sword i haggle over the cost with the shopkeeper

bronze wind
#

I guess for me the need to rely on a price guide rather than the game just providing a better way of handling that is what gets me

#

Over time it doesn't matter cause it auto-sets it to the most appropriate price you've sold an item for, but the trial and erorr when you just got this insanely rare item from a dungeon and have no idea whether it should be sold for 1000 or 10000 can be discouraging

silver sparrow
#

or simplify the mechanic rather than removing it

bronze wind
#

Yeah for sure

#

Like some way to get hints about an items value

silver sparrow
#

also i think i bought moonlighter before i bough my pro controller for the switch, which actually makes a difference for me

bronze wind
#

Beyond just lookiing it up online

silver sparrow
#

like some old dude who you can pay for pricing tips idk

bronze wind
#

yeah that would be cool

#

Or like, some visual cues

#

Maybe certain price tiers sparkle a certain way

#

Like no sparkles for <1000, over 1000 a dull white, over 5000 gold

I mean all of their games pretty much require UPlay anyway so it's just a question of where you purchase it lol

Even on steam their games don't launch from Steam, they open UPlay

which is part of why i just don't bother with Ubisoft games on PC until ages afterward when they appear on GOG, lol

I don't get them just cause a lot of their games are like deep into a well established series that I've played 0 games out of lol

I never bothered with the first game, AC II more or less decided to.......not ignore it, but it definitely changed everything. It played nothing like the first game, thankfully

#

Tbh it's better to think of AC II as the start of the series 😆

#

The first game is like a glorified demo

AC1 is like WD1, how they didn't learn from AC1 to not repeat similar mistakes with WD1 is just thonk

austere lance

Lol

#

Fr tho, I definitely recommend starting with AC II if you ever feel like experiencing the series. The Ezio trilogy is the peak of Assassins Creed, it changed a lot with every installment afterwards and kinda felt like they were just farming the series. The trilogy has the best story and characters

I recommend all the ACs it's a fantastical franchise

the world is massive in Valhalla

#

sec

#

What can you tell me about the scope of the world in Valhalla? Is it one big map of England? How does Norway figure in?

It is Norway and the Dark Ages of England – specifically the ninth century. In terms of England, it is quite a large map. We focus on four major kingdoms of England during this time period: Wessex, Northumbria, East Anglia, and Mercia. So for history buffs, they can look for that. It’s a large part of England, and within that you have three major cities: London, Winchester, and Jórvík (now called York in modern days, but Jórvík back then). And then we have a ton of towns, and of course, we have Norway as well.

#

That’s the core. We have other surprises that I won’t get into in terms of the world and map. But that’s the heart of the journey. We start in Norway, and we see the natural beauty of this world, but we also feel the difficulty of living in this barren land … so we move from there and settle in England. And then it’s about the journeys through the kingdoms of England. Of course, players can go back and forth to Norway as they please. There’s a lot to see and do in Norway.

History is written by the victors, aka the English in this case. There's historical records showing that Vikings were surprisingly groomed and treated their women (besides Thralls/slaves) better than most European countries did.

That being said, if I were to have one final AC game... I'd see if something radical could be pulled off.

Make it like a shooter, but see if the AC feel could be maintained with melee combat as fluid as always alongside the WW2 shooting.

3 minutes in: This song apparently treats and promotes women as objects.
4 minutes in: Confused. Now women suffer everything that everyone ever has.
Finished song conclusion. Catchy tune, good lead vocalist. Nice throat singing. Horrible lyrics. The message is conflicted and while one section idolizes women as objects, spends the remainder of the song claiming women are the ultimate victims.

I respect your view on it, @dry copper you are missing out though. It is much more than a tech demo. The biggest misconception is the selling of ships. Despite what you believe, they are not selling ships. You are donating to the project. All of the ships that can be bought for real money can be EASILY purchased ingame. I spent $40 for access to the game and a single ship, haven’t spent a dime more.

I’ll fix it “All Released ships can be bought in game, for in-game currency” Also many ships have been removed from the store, and can only be purchased for in-game currency.

@dry copper There's a Twisted Metal-like game on Steam that's called Diesel Guns that is developed in Unreal Engine by some tiny Russian studio. I wish it was more polished and had in-game music but it plays fantastically

cinder vessel
#

Wow, that's a description I haven't seen in awhile...

#

I forget the name of it but there was some other car combat MMO several years ago

winter yew
#

here's some actual gameplay that isn't prettied-up cutscene bs

cinder vessel
#

Auto Assault, jeez...Only lasted about a year it seems

winter yew
#

I have not played DG in awhile... looks like they added some stuff since then.. drones that follow your car? lmao. nice.

#

that desert level has two world hazards you can trigger, a sandworm that comes up underneath your car and kills it, or an asteroid attack that covers random spots of the level

dry copper
#

@winter yew That guy reaaaally hates Michael

winter yew
#

what guy

dry copper
#

The player in that video who won't stop attacking the same guy in a battle royale

#

Five dudes, he's on one like a fly on shit

winter yew
#

lmao.

#

the game does have online BUT I'm 90% sure he was playing against a bot

#

at one point in the game's development they were talking about making a giant Battle Royale-style map

#

but I guess they never did

dry copper
#

shrug The video has names in top left corner, like other players

winter yew
#

yeah, it does that even with bots

#

I've got nearly 7 hours of play time in Diesel Guns, i'm pretty sure I know what I'm talkin' about hehe

dry copper
#

I've got no hours. I only have one russian game.

#

It's amazing though

#

Absolutely incredible shit.

#

My favorite Russian game ever

@austere lance made a lot more impactful by never commenting on it

dry copper
#

What is the game that made you the saddest

#

?

#

I was shaken a bit by FF7's aeriths death, but I found "To The Moon" a lot more emotional

willow crypt
#

hey now spoilers

#

i haven't beat it yet

dry copper
#

You can't spoil rotten eggs. That game came out on PS1 😛

willow crypt
#

also, don't spoil the passion of the christ for me

dry copper
#

Spoiler: It's passionate 😉

DMANIT

#

I think maybe crisis core

#

Somehow

#

Or Soma

willow crypt
#

Soma had a very strong ending. great game

austere lance
#

Ori 2 may or may not have made me sorta cry

willow crypt
#

The one game that comes to mind when i think of other people crying is Journey. Didn't make me cry, but overall most people did it seems

#

haven't played Frictional game's other games

#

I think I appreciated Soma so much because it wasn't a complete horror game, almost a horror adventure/walking sim

#

if Amnesia is pure horror, not sure i want to play

dry copper
#

What bothers me about FO76 in terms of emotional story telling: They have something that they could actually sell an emotional story on and they completely phone it in, with half written stories and fragmented tales.

austere lance
#

I almost cried hard af playing Ori 2

willow crypt
#

i betchu did

dry copper
#

Ooooh, A Tale of Two Brothers

daring spear
#

can confirm

dry copper
#

I cried with that

willow crypt
#

Loved it

austere lance
#

Ori will break your fuckin heart twice

willow crypt
#

i probably got emotional with that one

dry copper
#

Correction: Brothers:A tale of two sons

willow crypt
#

yeah

#

need to play their newer game

#

i hope they're going to do a more fantasy-based game next

charred badge
#

I was moved by Soma because it's the only game I know to really, personally, tackle the reality of digital consciousness

willow crypt
#

it's a frightening concept

#

(but be careful that's a spoiler)

cinder vessel
#

i'm gonna frighten ur concepts

willow crypt
#

Pls no

dry copper
#

I've been waiting for....counts the years

#

23 years for a remake of the game I played back in 97

#

Sentient

#

Or a sequel

charred badge
#

What about a remake of

#

Sanitarium

austere lance
#

Legend of Dragoon

daring spear
#

please

#

Combat system intact, encounter rate turned way the hell down

#

GUST OF WIND DANCE

dry copper
#

I won't divulge the nature of the experiment but to say there's a lot of layers in it

daring spear
#

Albert's additions are almost too fast for me to do

austere lance
#

Fable 4 when

charred badge
#

So satisfying to pull off, though

#

Rose's too

#

Oh ih

#

Give the bow character some sort of additions

#

Dear lord using her in a fight was boring

daring spear
#

well yeah but at least her Dragoon heals

#

but so does Rose's

charred badge
#

A lot more often, too, if you can keep up with her additions

dry copper
#

ff7 remake combat, anyone a fan?

winter yew
willow crypt
#

I'm enjoying the combat in the remake. With that said, I don't care for turn based JRPG combat

austere lance
#

Has anyone ever played Dragons Dogma: Dark Arisen? It's on sale this week and it looks wacky

cinder vessel
#

It's super wild, def. recommend 👀

#

you get to clamber up on big monsters and jab them while your allies zap them with spells

#

And things can go...Unexpectedly...Thanks to that degree of flexibility

austere lance
#

The current gen version is on sale, I got bored and watched a few reviews and it just looks ridiculous 😆

#

Saw a dude fireball a harpy out of the air, sling it over his shoulder, then yeet it at an ogre

cinder vessel
#

Sounds about right

@daring spear That's so wrong and so right. I want it to eat and to die at the same time.

I like sushi. I don't want a sushi cookie.

Gameplay reveal on Thursday @winter yew

During the Inside Xbox stream

#

They're gonna show that and some other games on the Series X

winter yew
#

I hope it turns out cool

#

I just want a fun viking game tbh

austere lance
#

I've read a ton of articles on it

#

That's the best one, it answers damn near every question I had

#

No more grind 😩 💦 💦

#

I can play the game like a violent Animal Crossing and grow my settlement gandalf

I'm trying to find the name of a wacky sci fi soccer game I played on Xbox as a kid, so far no luck

The dude on the cover is literally wearing a Hunter helmet and cape from Destiny 2, lol

brisk merlin
#

yeah

dry copper
#

The game has day 1 DLC

#

Which means they pulled content out of the finished product to sell separately

#

That's scumming as fuck

#

Description says MMO

#

but I see nothing to support that description

#

Maybe they mean MMO in the sense that other players will exist in the same empty battle zone trying to kill you

#

@raven frost I think youd like this game because you like to fuck shit up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PsbdK-x5wU

#

@dry copper I've been keeping my eye on it but didn't know it was on steam, thanks

Tried to watch "The Irishman" today.

#

Not a fan of cultural appropriation. DeNiro looked about as Irish as a white guy pretending to be a black guy.

#

Twenty minutes in and the show is crawling along like a constipated bowel movement

#

The CGI to de-age DeNiro looks like they turned him into a plastic figurine.

#

Which is not saying much, since he acted like a plastic figurine.

#

Phoned in the entire role. It wasn't even DeNiro playing a character. it was a character playing DeNiro.

#

Same ass-hat from Casino, with a new job

#

I couldn't even bring myself to watch the entire movie for free

#

My time could be better spent unconscious.

#

"thank you for watching Mumbles Reviews"

#

that game does have "day one" DLC, but no price is listed yet. It might be like some other games where it's free but you have to select it for some reason. At least I hope so cause the actual content in them is pretty minimal and pointless, just like an armor set and some starting gear.

#

also the destiny hunter hood and cape isn't exactly a unique design lol

dry copper
#

Not like Destiny is unique

bronze wind
#

Not anymore really

#

Had some unique elements when it launched but it's been replicated a lot in other games now

#

Which is fine, but I was just pointing out the weirdness of saying "dude is wearing a cape from Destiny" lol

#

Reading up on that game bums me out though cause it looks sort of interesting, but the PvE mode literally gives you less experience for your character than PvP

dry copper
#

I remember when Destiny was something to look forward to.

#

That game was run into the ground with it's microtransactions

brisk merlin
#

Uhhh

#

No

dry copper
brisk merlin
#

It dosent even have those anymore

Oh that was written almost 3 years ago
