[raven frost]

Fabulous!

[winter yew]

Uh, yeah. That's the new max setting.

lol.

[raven frost]

huh

[winter yew]

Plays fine for me at 4k, though.

well of course lol

[dry copper]

I wonder what ever happened to that infinite pixels project that devs clearly lied about for years....

hahaha, it's STILL GOING ON

[winter yew]

looks super jank lmao

[dry copper]

HALF A DECADE LATER

[raven frost]

?

[winter yew]

https://youtu.be/NOMPup7LIMI

[dry copper]

Correction.....A decade

A full decade

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00gAbgBu8R4

[winter yew]

oh wait what is that

[raven frost]

that looks... not good

[dry copper]

"Euclidean technology"

It was a scam being sold in 2011.

It's still being sold!

[winter yew]

yeah no thanks lol

what even is that video lol

[silver sparrow]

pixel citizen

[winter yew]

Epic stated the same thing with the new Unreal Engine though. They claim unlimited polygons and no loss in FPS.

[raven frost]

I liked how they showed more of someone else's game rather than their actual engine footage

[dry copper]

Oh they're a complete con job

Now they're trying to sell hologram tech

[winter yew]

Oh Jesus.

[dry copper]

I can't help but laugh at this

They're literally using google glass tech and calling it a hologram

It's a bastardization of google glass augmented with VR

and it looks like shit

Microsoft tried to develop something similar with their VR augment glasses.

Hololens or some shit

[winter yew]

Ah yes. Hololens is basically military technology now. US army owns a good amount of them.

[raven frost]

Hololens is still in dev actually

and yeah what haptic said

something about microsoft and the military

wouldn't be surprised if they saw hololens and went "ooooo"

[dry copper]

Just imagine if hololens shit itself. That's Euclidean VR

[raven frost]

🤔

closest I can imagine is when my vive crashes my computer

[winter yew]

Hahaha. I want to commend their ability to stay funded long enough to last this long.

[dry copper]

They probably got a HUGE investment early on and...well...Australia has some....interesting investment laws

[cinder vessel]

lol I just filled out a survey for Atlus basically telling them I love the style of the Persona games and the like, but don't care for some of the writing

[winter yew]

I haven't played any Persona games. They didn't look my thing.
Am I missing out?

[austere lance]

BIOMUTANT?????? @winter yew

[cinder vessel]

If they don't look your thing, they're probably not tbh

And honestly they have the classic JRPG pacing problem of taking way too damn long to get into anything

[dry copper]

This is the only Persona game I ever played looooong ago

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWBEHUK1VVA

The gameplay seems to be around 11 minutes in. It's basically walking around in first person in hallways

[winter yew]

Oh ok. Thank you for replying.
I will continue to ignore it in that case lol

[cinder vessel]

It changed a lot after that tho

Became a typical third-person JRPG with some light life-sim elements of talking to & hanging out with friends to improve social bonds so your personas would grow more powerful

[austere lance]

Persona games are bizarre turn-based JRPG......life sims with fuckin wild shit to fight, lol

[dry copper]

jeeze sounds like a social trainer to teach people how to be human in china for social points.

[cinder vessel]

I mean, gamers are socially inept so have to have rewards for socializing

If they didn't gain anything from talking to their party they wouldn't

[dry copper]

I vote for bum gropes

[cinder vessel]

At least that's how I explain it to myself~

[dry copper]

I don't think gamers are socially inept.

Everyone reveals how incompetent they are if you put them in the right situation

[austere lance]

Persona is wack

[dry copper]

I have faith that you're all failures by your own right.

On your own merits

chortles

[cinder vessel]

lol

[winter yew]

BIOMUTANT?????? @winter yew
@austere lance YA tomorrow, news!

[rigid haven]

P5 great

I should play more but also xenoblade

[winter yew]

I am going to be buying RDR2 when the Steam sale starts this week.

[austere lance]

@dry copper Persona 5 combat
https://youtu.be/dbt63U6T9hM

[winter yew]

I can not wait to play. I have waited for so long and have managed to avoid spoilers.

RDR2 good

I am not working next week so the timing is fantastic for Steam sale.

[silver sparrow]

the butler did it 😮

[cinder vessel]

nothin' like some Spooky TV to relax to~
https://wax-wings-studio.itch.io/spooky-tv

[dry copper]

@austere lance That game looks very cartoony but I dig the aesthetic

@winter yew I got RDR2 some time ago. Been playing it a lot. I recommend doing every single white mission before gold (because they disappear after a while). also keep in mind some of them only appear at day or night, depending on the type.

Not going to spoil it, but there's a TON of extra stuff you can do if you just pursue all the white tagged missions

A lot of backstory content and content intended to keep you grounded in the story

Some white missions only pop up at certain times of the day or night and only if you're within a certain distance of the start of it, too

Those are more....dynamic...feeling.

I honestly wish the game would give you the option of seeing where they start and when if only as a hint, for completion purposes

but that's what guides are for I guess.

[austere lance]

I can already picture how toxic CrossfireX community is gonna be, lol https://youtu.be/n094sMWPXs4

Literally just console CSGO with random stuff added like invisibility

And for some godforsaken reason Remedy is making the campaign

[cinder vessel]

wat

[austere lance]

Yep

[wide kestrel]

I found this game, it can be entertaining. It’s similar to The Powder Toy, if you’ve heard of it, but it is browser based and works on mobile. https://sandspiel.club/#

[raven frost]

crossfire looks boring

[willow crypt]

I like the use of action and rhythmic shooting to cool music to cover up the generic, non-innovative fps gameplay

[austere lance]

It's literally just CSGO

[winter yew]

I’ll play the crossfire board game instead

https://youtu.be/rCwn1NTK-50

[austere lance]

Oh god, more news on that Avengers.......looter shooter(?) tomorrow

[willow crypt]

Hmmmm

That's out in a few months right

[austere lance]

No idea

It's a glorified X-Men Legends

[wet warren]

Got the Playstation emulator working 😩

[pseudo sky]

My gf may be working at this amazing short film, which looks to be heavily inspired by NMS. Here's the teaser if you're interested

@glossy kestrel Looks like Elite Dankerous.

[silver sparrow]

Elitetile Dysfunction

[glossy kestrel]

@dry copper it is 😛

After I realized how terrible NMS endgame really is... I started playing ED again

I soon remembered how much i love tht game and how actually good it is

[winter yew]

that pokemon moba

[austere lance]

Oooo, The Falconeer looks cool. Trash Sailors looks like good silly fun with friends, SkateBird looks like a decent skateboarding game, and I still think it's cool that a Skyrim mod god adapted into a full game (The Forgotten City)

Falconeer looks like Panzer Dragoon Orta

[willow crypt]

Was that Biomutant stream today or tomorrow

[austere lance]

Today

Ary and the Secret of Seasons looks hella good, damn

No Straight Roads got that Jet Set Radio+Sunset Overdrive ridiculousness, lol. But with waaaaay more music

Hey look, Everspace 2

[willow crypt]

Coo

Damn TLOU2 has an amazing thunderstorm

[austere lance]

God damn, THAT'S the Everspace 2 trailer they should show to get more people interested 😆

Oh yeah, that knockoff Dead Cells game Forgone got shown

There's a creepy first-person adventure game where you're a 12 year old boy in an alternate timeline where WWII never ended

Paradise Lost

Uh, this game has you play as a two-ended dog. Like that CatDog cartoon, but it's two dogs 🤣

Holy shit, a proper Black & White type game

[charred badge]

I'm really happy that we can put programmable bits in cabinets/moveable parts without breaking them

[winter yew]

Hello Ghostcart. Can I please ask what game that is?

[charred badge]

starship evo

Used to be called starwanderers

[winter yew]

Ohhh. I heard about this game.
How are you finding it?

[austere lance]

You're a racoon detective in this game, lol

Also, VoidTrain is gonna make Worlds Adrift fans very very happy

[charred badge]

It's fun. Actually has the best systems for moving parts that I've seen

[winter yew]

I understand it's Early Access but how rough is it? Is it playable for long sessions?

[austere lance]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

Well, the only thing to do is build stuff and kinda fight.
No online infrastructure and exploration is basically non-existent.

So if you like building things, great

[winter yew]

Awesome.
Thank you for answering me. I will keep an eye on it because this looks like it's something I can really get in to.

[charred badge]

There's plenty of parts to play with and systems to mess with

And the freeform stretching is nice, if janky

[winter yew]

The building looks like it has some layers to it. I love that.
I will give it a month or so. I see it's very new release to Steam.

[charred badge]

Oh, and it has customizable auto symmetry

:D

[winter yew]

That's actually quite a big feature. Especially for idiots like me.

[charred badge]

With a toggle button when you want to add just a little assymetry

Doesn't seem to autocopy parts on hinges though, oddly

I think it might be due to the parent-child linking

[austere lance]

Holy shit, the Halo community is basically on fire rn

[winter yew]

What is happening in Halo for that to be happening?

[willow crypt]

Sounded like Ghaul

[austere lance]

@winter yew That tweet ☝️

[charred badge]

I assume Halo 2 PC is releasing?

[austere lance]

That's been out for months @charred badge

[charred badge]

3?

[austere lance]

Being worked on

No, they're freaking out over that audio clip

@willow crypt It sounded like a Banished Brute who's somehow coexisting with a Flood form 👀

[winter yew]

Interesting. I wonder what this is going to lead in to??

[charred badge]

A short film?

[willow crypt]

The kid on the dad's shoulders looked like a scaled down adult

That newscaster is wearing sunglasses at night

The combat looks satisfying

Hulk better be able to jump really high and wreck cities

If not, we need a new Hulk solo game

[austere lance]

Oh shit, State of Decay 2 has a Sea of Thieves crossover and an entire new mode called Green Zone that's basically easy mode for people who are new to survival games

Much more casual and relaxed

[willow crypt]

Oh crap stretchy woman combat looks badass

[glossy kestrel]

easy mode SOD2??? wht???

the normal mode is already freaking boring after you kill some of the plague Hearts lol

and if u have difficulty killing them solo... can always ask for help in Multiplayer mode!

i dont get dumb decisions like that...

[willow crypt]

fuk multiplayer

[austere lance]

It's for casual players and experienced players who wanna goof off, lol

[willow crypt]

easy mode for certain games is a nice accessibility option

[rigid haven]

VERY nice

Accessibility options should be in more games

[austere lance]

The Sea of Thieves weapons look ridiculous 😆

The funny part is I was joking with the devs a couple months ago and saying they should do this crossover xD

I also recommended a Gears of War crossover 👀

https://youtu.be/5qNoo890xi8

[echo hill]

@austere lance You see the new Halo teaser?

[austere lance]

Yee

You see the Sea of Thieves x State of Decay 2 crossover? 😆

[echo hill]

Hasn't that been a thing for a while now?

[austere lance]

Nope

Not in State of Decay 2

Now you can get SoT stuff in the game

[echo hill]

Ohh I see

SoT has had State of Decay 2 stuff for a while

[austere lance]

Yee

Now they both have each other's stuff 😆

[echo hill]

Also, I'm high-key jealous that you get to talk to the devs

[austere lance]

SoD 2 devs? They're quite active in the Discord

[echo hill]

Inb4 Soul is Phil Spencer

[austere lance]

I wish, that bastard freely admitted he plays his Series X at home

[echo hill]

I can't say I blame him

I would too if I was Phil Spencer

[austere lance]

Cheeky bugger also said he feels really good about the Series X and it's first-party lineup after watching the PS5 reveal 👀

He's hella excited for the July event

[echo hill]

I am too

Any idea when it's happening?

I just wanna see more Halo

[austere lance]

Sometime in July, lol

[echo hill]

I also love that Xbox is hard leaning into the PC platform cause PC is my Go-To

[austere lance]

It's gonna be huge, especially if the the Xbox Series S reveal rumors are true 👀

[echo hill]

What're the rumors?

[austere lance]

Xbox Series S will be revealed at the event

Half the price of the Series X and weaker, still more powerful than the One X tho. Has the fancy SSD and stuff the Series X has

I'm hella hyped for the Halo Infinite gameplay they gonna show

[echo hill]

THEY SHOWING GAMEPLAY?

[austere lance]

Yee

[echo hill]

Dude garuntee I'll cry during that event

[austere lance]

Lol

[willow crypt]

are halo campaigns usually around 5 or 6 hours?

[echo hill]

I sobbed when they announced halo reach for OC

PC*

@willow crypt Typically around the 8-10 hour mark id say

[willow crypt]

ok, that's better

[echo hill]

Tho from the sound of it, Infinite might be a different case.

[willow crypt]

because sometimes i wonder what some of these devs could do if they focused on the campaign and omitted the multiplayer side

like The Last of Us 2 has no multiplayer, and I can see how the campaign is effected because of it

[austere lance]

There's certain rumors it will do a "one-shot movie take". No loading areas

[echo hill]

I'd love that.

[willow crypt]

hmm i don't think i've ever seen that being done in games

supposedly Cyberpunk will?

[echo hill]

Although zug, Halo wouldn't be the same without multiplayer

It's a part of the Halo formula

[willow crypt]

that's true. it is an important section

for them

[austere lance]

I think God of War did something similar? That's what the rumors compare Infinite to

No levels separating everything

[echo hill]

Yeah god of war was similar to that

Tho it had a couple loading areas, but they were masked by seamless cutscenes

[silver sparrow]

lameow

[winter yew]

Necks are quite important.

[willow crypt]

Interesting

So, Biomutant in an hour and 30

[winter yew]

Can't wait!

[austere lance]

Hot damn yes

[winter yew]

where is this stream 😮

is it the IGN Expo stream?

ugh

way too much yelling on the IGN stream

[willow crypt]

Yeah I believe this one https://youtu.be/L5FQ-TCXqDA

[winter yew]

ok thanks dude 😄

annnnd reported

[willow crypt]

Same

[winter yew]

yelling guy on IGN

stop

[willow crypt]

They will never stop

[winter yew]

lmao.. i guess

I just hate people that talk that loud

There's a lady at my job that I swear she does it on purpose

[willow crypt]

Imagine going to a movie with them

[winter yew]

imagine going to movies

I am going to be upset if I don't get to see Godzilla vs. Kong in theaters at the end of the year.

[willow crypt]

Once I can, imma go see 5 movies in a row

[winter yew]

Yesss

Nothing like the roar of Godzilla in the IMAX experience

[willow crypt]

Mhm

[winter yew]

These dudes playing Overcooked 2

[vestal wren]

they are not very good at it

[winter yew]

they are too busy trying to be funny and meme

[vestal wren]

i muted them

[winter yew]

the dude talking about the game now sounds like he's asleep

[willow crypt]

i wonder what Josef Fares would say about this guy talking

[vestal wren]

I still have it muted, kinda just waiting to see biomutant stuff

[willow crypt]

oh hey damn this looks cool

[vestal wren]

kinda looks like hyper light drifter

in terms of art and animation

[winter yew]

I was JUST going to say that

[willow crypt]

similar

less retro-y

[winter yew]

the 'jumping' to platforms

[vestal wren]

yeah not neon and a bit slower

but the style and combat are similar

even the slowdown when you attack

[willow crypt]

b l o o d

Sekiro if it was pixel art game

[winter yew]

Body Explode

[silver sparrow]

Malaka!

[winter yew]

FFFFFFFFUCKINGIAJAIOPSJDASIDJ

Surgeon Simulator 2 WHO CARES

those games are made for screaming youtube letsplayers

[austere lance]

Biomutant when

@willow crypt

[winter yew]

very soon

[willow crypt]

i guess soon, hasn't happened yet. don't se a specific time

i'm promoting The Last of Us 2 in the chat

ok

ign in chat said very shortly

[austere lance]

Gud

Been waiting two years for new gameplay

[willow crypt]

lol

[winter yew]

new gameplay without the CHUGGA CHUGGA CHOO CHOO man

[willow crypt]

https://tenor.com/view/grandma-84years-waiting-gif-5132563

[vestal wren]

jeez i don't like needles, that was hard to watch even if it was really low quality

a lot of games move into the custom level territory lately

oh they were wrong about biomutant right after surgeon sim 2

[winter yew]

of course.

[vestal wren]

this looks like a mix between JSR and Psychonauts

just art and animation

no idea about gameplay

[winter yew]

FINALLY

[willow crypt]

@austere lance

[vestal wren]

i hope it isnt like 3 minutes after all the others were like 10-15 mins

[willow crypt]

just that overworld shot damn

[vestal wren]

the animation riding on the animal was pretty bad though

[austere lance]

Pretty moon

[vestal wren]

maybe not bad but very stiff

[austere lance]

Horse?

Turtle

[willow crypt]

ahhhh

ewok

[austere lance]

Kung Fu Panda

Is he using a grappling hook?

[vestal wren]

yeah

[winter yew]

nice

[austere lance]

Jagni

Oh fuck yes this combat

[winter yew]

OH

[austere lance]

THAT'S BIG

Airship

Oh damn, I like how you exit the airship

[willow crypt]

terrifying

[austere lance]

That's a giant evil bunny

Wtf

CAVE TROLL

[winter yew]

loving all the creature designs

[austere lance]

Wait, there's magic???

What the FUCK is that thing

[winter yew]

lmao

[austere lance]

Flurp

[winter yew]

parkour hamster

[willow crypt]

giant hand

[austere lance]

Is that a hand

Bubble boy

[willow crypt]

see that giant root?

[austere lance]

Wings

Honki

[willow crypt]

i wonder how big the tree that root belongs to is

Chu-Chu-Chug

[winter yew]

MunsterHonter lmao.

[austere lance]

Rhino

Oh damn, weather?

Hot and cold survival 👍

Squid submarine

I'm, what's he doing to the turtle forehead

[willow crypt]

oh jeeze this guy

[winter yew]

nom

[austere lance]

Earthbending

Three heads

LMAO

[willow crypt]

so cute

[austere lance]

I called Kung Fu Panda 😆

[vestal wren]

wonder how far off release is

[austere lance]

Fuck this looks good

[vestal wren]

looks like it could be another year for polish

[willow crypt]

i bet early 21

[austere lance]

Yee

[vestal wren]

yeah

try to line it up with new console launch as close as they can

[willow crypt]

i honestly would rather play a next gen build of this game

[austere lance]

Fuck, another thick open world 😩

[willow crypt]

mmm yes

hopefully the sidequests are meaningful

[austere lance]

Oh yeah, I missed Avengers

Gaming National Guardsman?

[willow crypt]

it looks good

[winter yew]

stretchy

[austere lance]

Lol, looter Avengers

[winter yew]

cat tail

[austere lance]

I saw Thor hammer with stats, wtf

[winter yew]

lmao.

[willow crypt]

was saying, it's been a long time since we had a Hulk game, so I hope Hulk can jump really far and wreck stuff like in the old ones

[austere lance]

Oh yeah, Cyberpunk tomorrow

Hopefully new gameplay

[willow crypt]

they've already shown a lot though really

[austere lance]

Yee

National Guard esports, lol

Dammit, I'm curious and gonna look up Avengers

[silver sparrow]

hwat

[willow crypt]

Hulk ain't be gettin' enough love

[austere lance]

Duh

[willow crypt]

neither in games or movies

[austere lance]

Lol, people in the YouTube comments trashing Avengers

"BAD FPS"

"lOoKs LiKe AnThEm"

[vestal wren]

it's just compression probably anyways

[willow crypt]

Anthem?

lol

[vestal wren]

and anthem looks good so that's not a good critique either

[austere lance]

Anthem is 😴

[willow crypt]

yeah that's the one thing it has going for it

it's pretty

otherwise

👎

[vestal wren]

it looks good, has solid animations, good feeling combat. just not a lot to work towards

if they added a new story with end game stuff id defeinitely go back to it

[willow crypt]

the missions look to0 repetitive and not varied

[daring spear]

They're working on something with anthem but I left the server so I'm not in the loop

[willow crypt]

prolly 2021

[vestal wren]

i know they were doing some rework but i dont follow it much. i hope they do a good job

cause the handling of the javelins and the combat felt so good

[willow crypt]

i think they will. they're not gonna screw up a second chance.

[vestal wren]

there are people who won't give htem a chance because they hold grudges but i'm happy to see what they change

[willow crypt]

grudge holding is dumb

[vestal wren]

i think so too

[austere lance]

This causes me physical pain

[willow crypt]

the visuals?

[austere lance]

Everything

Looter shit+Avengers

Why

[vestal wren]

I like looter stuff, but I don't really liek the Avengers in their current iteration that much

[austere lance]

They're a bit late, looters have been dying out

[willow crypt]

i feel they haven't really hit their full potential

[vestal wren]

I think they care more about making a big budget Avengers game than they do about what gamers say is the current trend

[austere lance]

The only looter that's semi-popular anymore is Destiny 2, and even then the fanbase has been dropping

[vestal wren]

It'll sell like crazy because Avengers is such a huge thing in recent years

[willow crypt]

warframe

[vestal wren]

if they cna make finding rare gear interesting and rewarding than I'll like it. though not many games have pulled that off so we'll see

[willow crypt]

and make them not look the same

[raven frost]

man that D2 beyond light concept art is kinda hittin different doe

[austere lance]

There's no need for a Marvel looter game. Maybe if they'd revived X-Men Legends they woulda got the nostalgia factor going for em but I've yet to find anyone who's actually excited for this. Plus Legends had the quirkiness of being a Marvel dungeon crawler and not a looter shooter thing

[willow crypt]

I wonder how big Europa map will be

[vestal wren]

I am excited for it

Excited to hear more at least

[willow crypt]

yes give me a wolverine rpg

[austere lance]

None of the gear so far looks unique, just 5 different rarities or whatever of a bunch of generic stuff

[vestal wren]

They didn't really show much anyways

Just a couple quick screens of gear with like one thing per screen

[austere lance]

That Iron Man repulsor is apparently Legendary rarity and looks boring af. Imagine what everything else will be like

[daring spear]

Oh shit, Legends came out in 2004. Way to make me feel old for playing a game, ....er. Game!

[vestal wren]

also there's no game that "needs" to be made, so complaining about the lack of a need doesn't make sense

It just sounds like you don't like looters and have made all of your judgements about this based on the fact that it has those elements in it

and that's ok but I disagree and am interested what else there is to do

I like that it seems co-op focused as well

[daring spear]

To be fair, it's overdone and hardly done well in any case

[vestal wren]

That's subjective

I enjoy looter mechanics

[daring spear]

True, but it's also subjective to have a positive feel for them. It's all just opinions

[vestal wren]

As long as they have decent inventory management stuff

I know that

[willow crypt]

One fact remains

[austere lance]

@vestal wren 350 hours in Destiny and 300 in Destiny 2. Plus I spent tons of hours playing looter RPG's like Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance as a kid. And put a decent amount into Diablo III. This game looks meh

[vestal wren]

It's a different game, looks interesting to me. I'm sorry you don't feel the same

[willow crypt]

if a game has loot and is mostly about loot, it needs to be varied. visually and performance-wise

[vestal wren]

I think the fact that you can play as multiple heroes helps

Different play styles

Though I wonder what the missions will be, if it's just a small area and "kill the bad guys" type stuff that will be kinda boring

I'm worried more about when he mentioned that you could just button mash

[willow crypt]

games with low effort sidequests shouldn't have side quests at all

[daring spear]

I'm not even forming an opinion because I haven't seen anything from it. Personally I just want more exploration games

[willow crypt]

oh i'm not even really talking about my opinion of avengers

just the genre

[vestal wren]

a game does down a whole letter grade for me if it has a stealth-follow quest or an escort mission

not related to any of these games but just something i was thinking of the other day

[daring spear]

If it has stuff (besides PVP unless that's your thing) to keep people coming back to it then I'll play things like that

[vestal wren]

the avengers game mentioned having co-op missions you could play which i like. wonder how that works though. playing with my brother would be fun

[daring spear]

That's cool. Hopefully it won't be strictly online co-op

[winter yew]

It looks good but I personally won't play it.

[austere lance]

Such varied equipment, lol

[winter yew]

Too complex for me. I'm a chill and no effort kind of person. I want a story being told to me lol

[austere lance]

What

Is......is that a fist upgrade

🤣

[willow crypt]

i love games that tell you a story without having to do much

that's why i still love linear driven games

[austere lance]

Ah yes, hammer blue so different

[willow crypt]

uh

that just looks like a uv texture

[austere lance]

Wait, apparently that's the same hammer just.......highlighted?

Hey look, can dismantle it for hammer parts 😆

[willow crypt]

YES!

finally a game where i can collect hammer parts

[austere lance]

Yeesh, look at resource requirements for boosting the hammer

Resource grinding, let's gooooo

[willow crypt]

woooO!!!

[austere lance]

Isn't he supposed to have one hammer, lol

[willow crypt]

idk

[daring spear]

Technically

But whats the fun in that for a game

[willow crypt]

Hammers!

[coarse swift]

Astroneer has been introduced to microtransactions

And someone on the discord had the bravery to tell me that its not microtransactions

I could think of at least 10 other games where you buy a currency with real money to buy their store products.

And its still microtransactions.

[daring spear]

Mhm. Buying the currency is a small purchase

A micro transaction

[coarse swift]

A micro purchase

There was this frame suit that was teased for quite some time too

[daring spear]

People just want to deny it because of the games that make them seem like a bad thing

[coarse swift]

I was under the impression that you'd be able to get it through some new event

But nope, you gotta spend over $18 if you want it.

[daring spear]

Smh my head

[coarse swift]

Because its in a bundle.

[daring spear]

But it isn't a microtransaction, havent you heard?!

[coarse swift]

https://tenor.com/view/ace-ventura-pet-detective-jim-carrey-comedy-duh-gif-3356625

[daring spear]

Heh

[coarse swift]

If there was ever a game that I thought that actually might need microtransactions... it's probably NMS.

It's a bold statement, I know

[daring spear]

Perhaps

[coarse swift]

The amount of effort they put into the game despite it's negative launch reception and it only having the full-game purchase as a means of making money... I'd say mtx is warranted.

[willow crypt]

hopefully those micro-transactions aren't too intrusive and bring in the money they need to improve it and their future projects

[coarse swift]

You can buy basic visor colors in Astroneer for $1.

Each.

[willow crypt]

that's a bit much

[coarse swift]

Blue, Green, Grey, Orange, Fuchsia, Red, Teal, and Yellow.

All a buck.

[willow crypt]

maybe it's a wip?

the prices and items

[coarse swift]

Possibly

It's day one.

[willow crypt]

okay so yeah, if the community is vocal enough

maybe they'll balance it

[coarse swift]

Currently the community seems defensive, claiming that SES needs to make money somehow

Time will tell

You can't just buy a dollar of Q-bits either, the currency needed to get the store items

Only seems to be a $10 option

With a 100 Q-bit bonus

[willow crypt]

meh

all that turns me off

[coarse swift]

Robot Bundle is 1800 Q-bits

Buy it within this 15 day time frame before it becomes 2150 q-bits

A fucking sale on the first day.

[willow crypt]

damn

[charred badge]

Ses?

[willow crypt]

usually i'm much more okay with them when they're used in FTP games, which is why i'll always think them being used in AAA games like D2 is bullshit. Astroneer's base price doesn't seem too bad, so they'd be fine in there if they cut those prices back

[coarse swift]

So doing the math

If you wanted to buy everything the store had currently

You'd be spending roughly $177 bucks.

The game is $30.

[willow crypt]

i'd rather donate money to them and not get anything to support them

hypothetically though

not them in particular

if there's a studio out there i really admire that makes a game i love, i'd rather they avoid MTX, have a donate button on their website, and let me support them that way.

[coarse swift]

Yea I can get behind that

[willow crypt]

(Hello Games, get on that)

[winter yew]

[charred badge]

What is ses?

[willow crypt]

say elvis, sensai

[daring spear]

System Era Softworks

Apparently

Astroneer peeps

[dry copper]

How it feels....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lXbpgU9OWk

I take jokes literally all the fking time and it feels JUST LIKE THIS

[willow crypt]

this is funny

"Am I allowed to eat the box?"

"What if the penguin ate the box?"

[coarse swift]

Will say that despite the MTX store... automation is the best thing to happen to my game save.

I can finally store my resources without dealing with a frame drop

Thank you resource containers and auto-arm for doing the work for me

Oh god yes

The containers hold scrap

My incredible amount of scrap finally has a home

Cost me a nanocarbon but the container holds fuckin 400 units

👀

Have to wonder if my life is boring when I get excited over storage

[wide kestrel]

Is Astroneer worth it?

[coarse swift]

I enjoy the game

It's $30, pretty sure it was like... $15 when I was gifted it

I would say that when it comes to the analogy of hours to the dollar spent, I've got my money's worth.

Assuming that I bought it for $30.

Oof, gotta be careful not to stand in the way of an auto-arm

It does not discriminate on what it stores to

[wide kestrel]

It's a Rick Roll link

By the way

The one marm sent

[dry copper]

That's what it's masked as, yes

[daring spear]

If you click on it, it literally juat takes you to YouTube

Just*

[dry copper]

I know what a redirect does. Do you know what else it can do?

[daring spear]

I really don't have the patience for a lecture right now

[charred badge]

Shadyurl ismy favorite redirect

[wide kestrel]

@dry copper tell me of the dangers of redirects.

[daring spear]

Also am finding no reports that the site is dangerous, save for things from 2013 with no actual data on what happened

[dry copper]

Only reports I'm finding aside from the malware detection, which seems to be triggered by the redirect is the tracking cookies it installs via vcheck.

Still seems suspicious as hell, faking a URL to lull people to click a redirect networked through a website that installs tracking cookies

Only other websites I've seen that do that are phishers.

but I'm no expert

[daring spear]

At this point, I don't even bother with the illusion of internet safety. Too many widely used places do the same stuff and hardly get called out so it isn't even a question any more whether info is safe

When they are called out, it gets overshadowed so fast that it's clearly a non-issue to them

[dry copper]

What flag is red with a white cross on it?

[wide kestrel]

Swiiiss?

[daring spear]

Yes

[dry copper]

yeah looks like it. I'm just probing the various networks associated with the cookie (because I'm paranoid)

[daring spear]

[dry copper]

Yeah I ain't even gunna guess what this swiss website is about....

It's called off white.....

Speaking of HL3, though...I wonder if they'll go through with it, knowing how popular alyxx was.

Half Life 3 will happen

wait, an anime? Yeah, that works

Nice focus on music and very japanese. Very memeable

Decent story

[austere lance]

https://youtu.be/rjgFi8szvpk

Has the most gameplay, at least that I've found

[vestal wren]

i dont like how everything is dull

there are neon signs and stuff but pretty much everything else is a dull grey or brown

[austere lance]

Yes?

[vestal wren]

also the crime scene analysis thing they showed where you're picking through the footage seemed like something that would be cool the first couple times and tedious after that

hope it's more varied

[austere lance]

Those would be the poor neighborhoods. The fancy rich areas are crazy

[vestal wren]

yeah i was just speaking about what was in the video. they've shown a lot and every area is very flat with the palettes but hopefully you spend enough time between them that it doesn't get old too fast

[glossy kestrel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeNA4SKoftY

[charred badge]

Dingy with neon is literally the cyberpunk aesthetic

[vestal wren]

just doesn't scale very well, every street corner looks the same

I think its just because they were mostly driving segments

walking around is likely more interesting

[willow crypt]

they're not gonna show much

[vestal wren]

they've shown a lot already lol

[willow crypt]

hey i was just gonna say that

but it's a big game

so what they've shown is probably a very small percentage

[vestal wren]

just waiting for something to wow me i guess

it looks good, but people are just hyping it a lot because its cdpr

[willow crypt]

watching gameplay isn't really going to wow me. being in the experience and immersed making decisions and exploring will do that for me

[vestal wren]

i have been wowed and excited by gameplay/trailers before, not much of this has done that for me yet

[willow crypt]

i'm not really overly excited though

[vestal wren]

i do like the weapon customization stuff

but it boils down to sorta generic FPS if you use a gun. The melee weapons are neat like the wrist blade augment thing. But I wonder how actually effective those are

[willow crypt]

i really don't care much about it, i just know they're really good story tellers and world builders, that's why i'm interested at all

[vestal wren]

btw when I say generic FPS I don't mean the whole game, just the combat

Well they are going from scratch here whereas the witcher already had a world built

and a lot of the stories told were from books or short stories

[willow crypt]

the stuff that makes CDPR special are the things they really can't show in short gameplay/trailer snippets that we'll have to experience.

yeah that's true, a fresh start

which is good

[vestal wren]

I just hope they can make the combat more interesting

[willow crypt]

this is based on a tabletop rpg though that has lore

[vestal wren]

They showed a bossfight a while ago and it was a really boring bullet sponge walk in circles thing

and it doesn't look like it's changed much from the new stuff they've shown

[willow crypt]

can't you play this game entirely non-violently?

that's a pretty big deal

[vestal wren]

Not sure how you'd do that boss fight then

[willow crypt]

dialogue options

[vestal wren]

Could be you circumvent the fight by hacking or something

[willow crypt]

yeah

[vestal wren]

And it's no the first game with non-lethal approaches

if they can find a way to make a non-violent play through as interesting as a violent one it will be cool. every game that has that option always finds a way to make non-lethal more frustrating and painful

i get it's basically a difficulty setting to some degree but I feel like it doesn't have to just be that

[willow crypt]

i'll probably mix it up, need to shoot at least a few people, or run some cyborg over with my car

[vestal wren]

thats usually what I do in RPGs

I can never commit fully to hacking or charisma or whatever because there are parts that are basically impossible or incredibly annoying to get through without shooting someone

[willow crypt]

that stuff gets repetitive too

[vestal wren]

it can also be boring when something that would normally be a 10 minute fight turns into a dialogue option where the person just goes "ok i like you now"

like sometimes games have the option to pass a speech check or something to avoid fighting someone but i'd rather just fight them so i don't take the speech check most of the time

[willow crypt]

as long as the player choices are varied and meaningful from character to character, the game will be more successful

and the dialogue options from the player and npcs believable

I hate in some rpgs like FO3 or 4 where you change an npc's mind, and their response sounds forced and badly acted

Witcher 3 did not have these issues

[vestal wren]

i think that's most bethesda stuff

and witcher 3 was hard cause i can't stand Geralt's voice in that

[willow crypt]

ha i liked it

[vestal wren]

has nothing to do with him being dry or mean or anything

just doesn't sound well done, i never found him believable when he was talking

i liked the side characters more typically, even if they mostly kinda had the same personality

[daring spear]

It's probably the closest real-life representation of how his voice is described in the books

[vestal wren]

i'm not talking about the characters attitude though, i mean the performance of it

never pulled me in

[daring spear]

I wasn't talking about attitude either. Just the sound

I would kinda like to see a closer-to-source take on it. It was close, but if they could replicate it a little more closely it would be super cool

[vestal wren]

yeah the sound was good, the quiet gruff tone was pretty spot on

i just personally didn't like the VA's performance on it, felt like it was so close to being good

[willow crypt]

c'mere Roach

[raven frost]

that cyberpunk gameplay looks

¯_(ツ)_/¯

can't say I'm not impressed, but its also not something I'll pick up on release

[willow crypt]

i wasn't really impressed but i won't let it cloud my judgement

[raven frost]

I'm less interested in the city areas as I am the outskirts

[willow crypt]

also, it's probably because other big games are occupying more of my attention, so i have less attention to give

[raven frost]

makes me just want to drive out in the badlands

[willow crypt]

yes i can't wait to explore the countryside

[austere lance]

Non-violent stealth gang

[raven frost]

nah

[austere lance]

Gonna bust out the ol Dishonored skills

[raven frost]

[willow crypt]

[austere lance]

And Deus Ex skills

[raven frost]

I will become death, destroyer of worlds

[willow crypt]

can i just play as a penis

[winter yew]

No. I'm not in the game.

[raven frost]

lol

[willow crypt]

DAMNIT.

[winter yew]

I like others am torn on new gameplay shown. It has knocked my excitement down a peg or 2.

[daring spear]

I'm not watching gameplay

[willow crypt]

i half watched half didn't

[winter yew]

It looks fun but the finesse that they promised doesn't appear to be peaking through with stuff shown.
I think this is probably a very small part of the game and there's still a lot of stuff we have not seen.

[willow crypt]

for sure

[raven frost]

the person playing the game is terrible

[willow crypt]

i think these bigger, more ambitious games typically underwhelm on purpose

[raven frost]

at least eurogamer is

[austere lance]

Waiting for a phat stealth+hacking playthrough gameplay video

[winter yew]

I'll still pick it up, obviously.
Stealth and hack is how I want to play through lol

[willow crypt]

like, i felt the advertising for The Last of Us 2 was underwhelming. and it is DEFINITELY not.

may not sell more games that way, but you'll surprise a whole lot more people that way

[winter yew]

I can't fault them for trying to keep peoples excitement in line.

[raven frost]

I just want another titanfall more than anything rn tbh

[willow crypt]

no, hl3

i wonder if those guys are working on any new ips

[raven frost]

valve?

[willow crypt]

respawn

[raven frost]

o

[willow crypt]

i like when big studios take a break from other franchises and try something new

though, yes, a new first person style IP would be a very nice surprise from Valve.

Read it

Watch it

[winter yew]

I thought I read that EA gave Respawn the contract for the upcoming Star Wars FPS.

I can't find anything to prove that though. I must be wrong.

[willow crypt]

hopefully

if Respawn has it, they won't screw it up

[winter yew]

I am wrong. It was Squadrons that I read and Respawn isn't developing that.

[willow crypt]

ah

[winter yew]

I also got the first person only thing wrong it seems. It's not a shooter, just first person cockpit view.

[willow crypt]

that one does look promising

seems EA has been reevaluating how they handle SW games

and Disney will probably drop em off a cliff if they screw up again

[austere lance]

This was in the Oddworld server earlier 🤣

[willow crypt]

i'm over 20 hours into TLOU2 and it is very meaningful. the story is good and it is not boring.

but whoever crashpunk is doesn't make sense

i'm just honestly surprised that I find it such high quality and engaging and there's NOONE else in this fucking chat who appreciates it

[winter yew]

I'm sure I will, but I haven't picked it up yet.

[willow crypt]

it good game

[winter yew]

TLOU is one of my personal favourites. I know I'll enjoy TLOU2 which is idiotically one of the reason I haven't picked it up yet.

[willow crypt]

i like this one more

don't believe i played it straight through and took a break from it before finishing. with this one, i have the desire to wake up and jump in.

[winter yew]

Oh I love that. That's how you know a game is great.
Rush breakfast and play.

[willow crypt]

yes

or just play and eat breakfast later

[winter yew]

Hahaha yes.

[cinder vessel]

@winter yew when will u come with the game?

[winter yew]

Depends on how good looking the characters are.

[willow crypt]

the facial animations are beautiful

[winter yew]

I got RDR2 in Steam sale and I am so excited to finally start that tomorrow. I have managed to avoid spoilers entirely this entire time. I'll be going in blind.

I know I'll be hopping out of bed before my alarm lol

[willow crypt]

damn. nice. it is tough to avoid them and i appreciate when people can.

going in blind is best way to play a game

[winter yew]

I will be doing the same for TLOU2. I have only watched trailers and will ignore gameplay.

[willow crypt]

👌 😌 👌

[winter yew]

Oh no. Diablo 4 is open world.

I don't like the sounds of that. Some games don't need to be open world.

[glass plinth]

rubs hands Hrmm

After listening to one of my friends review Cyberpunk and talking to him privately, Im mildly interested

I mean from what I can glean it seems to just be cyber witcher lol

Not a bad thing, if you like the setting for sure. The world architecture definitely seems awesome

I guess it doesn't matter one way or the other, ill be playing it. Already bought it.

[austere lance]

The Sphinx is a bitch

[winter yew]

Titanfall2

the most fun I've had in an FPS

but the quickest to send me into a seething rage when I'm getting killed constantly 😦

i heard its on steam now 👀

You still have to use an Origin login to play it

oh 👀

So I already owned it on Origin x)

[willow crypt]

oh

[winter yew]

I need the new EDF games now

hurry up 2020 I'm done with your shit

[willow crypt]

Noooo time goes too fast already

[winter yew]

game delays, no live concerts, NO MOVIES 😦

[austere lance]

@winter yew Not a single game on earth has more rage-inducing multiplayer than For Honor, lol

[winter yew]

Y'know I had to choose between that and Wildlands when I got my last GPU...

I went with Wildlands

[austere lance]

Good plan

Wildlands isn't centered around the sweatiest pvp ever made

[winter yew]

Wildlands is pretty fun with friends, the chaos factor when you have a combination of (people like me) that don't know what they're doing and people like my friends that live and breathe shooting games.

[willow crypt]

rocket league

[austere lance]

For Honor is hell

Ridiculous controls and unbelievably competitive

[winter yew]

Rocket League is pretty stressful for me because I don't understand the physics and how to rocket jump my car everywhere.

[willow crypt]

most toxic players

[winter yew]

So i just somersault everywhere hehe

[willow crypt]

it's fun to get better at over time

but also, once things get more serious, people get annoyingly salty and toxic

that's why i deleted it

[winter yew]

I mostly stick with PVE games nowadays

Less rage if I suck at it lmao

[willow crypt]

better

no game is worth have a heart attack over

[austere lance]

I showed this to my friend who said he's gonna try For Honor tomorrow, he was like "That looks STRESSFUL
https://youtu.be/-X2AIy9_CMA

"I like stressful stuff but that looks stressful"
I died laughing 😆

[winter yew]

lol.

[willow crypt]

pretty amazing gameplay. the swords hitting looks very satisfying

1v1 though, no thank you

[austere lance]

4v4 is an absolute shit-show 😬

I like the modes without annoying abilities. Gotta git gud or die

[willow crypt]

same with Rocket League

4v4 is chaos

3v3 is pretty insane

[winter yew]

boop mania

[willow crypt]

that's why i do 2v2

that'd be a good alternate name

[winter yew]

I think I'll pick up Warframe again this weekend. The newest update kinda burned me a bit, but I really wanna try that new Frame Protea, it's just the grind for her is a bit much for me right now.

I was excited when I found out she was a 'quest frame' but it turns out you only get her main BP from finishing the quest.

[willow crypt]

grinding when you don't wanna grind is the worst

[winter yew]

the rest have to be acquired in such a tedious manner it's ridiculous

[austere lance]

Spirit has forbidden me from re-downloading For Honor cuz it's the one game I own that's guaranteed to turn me into a screeching baboon, lol

[winter yew]

You gotta do missions on a corpus ships, waiting for this dude to spawn that you have to kill before he vanishes to get a coin that grants you access to a timed mission where you gotta kill a shit load of the dudes before the timer runs out and the reward that drops from whatever 'Rotation C' is.

[cinder vessel]

||grinding is the worst||

[winter yew]

it's a very stupid grind

[willow crypt]

Games like Warframe, I like to play through the content and upgrade a few weapons here and there, but once i've done the content, grinding is joyless for me. so then i move on to the next game

it's ridiculous

[winter yew]

there's some players I've read that have done the same missions 50+ times in a row and not gotten the reward

[willow crypt]

fuck that

[winter yew]

even with the 11% drop rate

[willow crypt]

what are they gonna do once they have it?

go to sleep smiling?

i think not

[winter yew]

nope

grind out the new frame, go 'oh her abilities are ok i guess'

[willow crypt]

mhm

[winter yew]

I haven't even bothered to get Grendel

high level missions that you have to do without mods

so you have base stats on your warframe and weapons.

[willow crypt]

huh. don't think I ever got to that

[winter yew]

yeah.

[cinder vessel]

but didn't ya hear, it's about the journey duuude 😑

[winter yew]

he was one of the newest frames added, he's basically Kirbyframe

sucks up enemies and can spit them out

and can roll around like a ball

[willow crypt]

that sounds cool

[winter yew]

yeah he does but I just don't have anybody to do the missions with

at least passing the missions guarantees the reward

[willow crypt]

can't play with randoms?

[daring spear]

Time to try playing a game that may or may not just annoy me

[winter yew]

they are basically impossible to solo lol and i dont know if i trust randoms

because I'm 90% sure you can't matchmake with them

Idk, I guess I can hit up LFG chat in the game later and see

[willow crypt]

bleh

i like when matchmaking is easy so i don't have to worry about going out of my way to find people to play with.

like in Destiny

[winter yew]

right?

at least Destiny isn't too hard to figure out in most missions

[willow crypt]

it's way simpler tbh

[glass plinth]

I enjoy warframe, just because I play it with friends. I never once got bored grinding, except ediolons

[winter yew]

Anthem has a similar thing with it's matchmaking but when you do the 'seasonal stronghold' missions, there's raid-style puzzles and you'll encounter people who don't even know they exist lol

Eidolons are tricky to do with randoms

if I get a crew that knows what they are doing, I'll be fine.

[glass plinth]

Eh, they just don't have much fun to them. Its not like big animals from monster hunter world

those are fun

[winter yew]

Monster Hunter World is great cuz I can just send a flare out and get some maxed out Chinese player and they destroy whatever I'm fighting

[glass plinth]

Haha

Im not to far in yet

I just enjoy the natural world

all the little things

its beautiful

[winter yew]

I stopped playing on the PS4 version around HR50 I think?

I just got bored, then the DLC came out

monsters in that dlc totally wreck me

[glass plinth]

As of late I haven't really been into those kinds of games. I went back to sandboxes

So kenshi, kerbals, Empyrion

[winter yew]

I sat down last month and finally went through RDR2's story on PS4.

[charred badge]

the fun of warframe comes from tweaking the ridiculous loadout customization system, at least for me

[winter yew]

even though I owned the game since launch lmao.

now I'm poking around at Horizon Zero Dawn

[glass plinth]

Is it out on steam yet?

[winter yew]

nah

[glass plinth]

Blast

[winter yew]

Should be by summer

[glass plinth]

I wasn't to play it soon as its out.

[winter yew]

or fall

It's crazy and I love the robots

[glass plinth]

Been grinding through all of CD projects games

the witchers and whatnot

and loving those to death

[winter yew]

I just love the way the world looks

[winter yew]

I just encountered THIS big thing and it scares the hell outta me

I'm not ready to take it on

[glass plinth]

Really reminds me of monster hunter world on a way

how you hunt

[winter yew]

yeah I have to utilize traps and such on some of the monsters

[coarse swift]

Just run headfirst at it and dodge a bit

For all you know, the AI might make it less intimidating

[winter yew]

lmao. nah that thing has fuck-you-lasers

and mortars

[coarse swift]

Looks like the kind of thing you should get up-close with then

[glass plinth]

I imagine it has a tail swipe

[winter yew]

well apparently you can break it's disc-launchers off

[glass plinth]

Looks like one that mite

[winter yew]

and use them against it

[glass plinth]

Bloody fricking hell, had one on the witcher 3 do that

[winter yew]

I do love that you can 'hack' some of the Robot Monsters to fight for you

[coarse swift]

My Monster Hunter and Souls experience tells me that if the thing has fuck-you lasers, don't be at a distance

[glass plinth]

Honestly right now Im just patiently waiting on cyberpunk. Im pretty optimisitic due to one of my friends getting to review it

[winter yew]

ooo

I might check that out
