I like the celshaded linework look
Jungle predator just doesn't know what they're talking about tbh
crisp sparrow
Dont starve is the only game where I had this complaint
I dont like the art style of it
too weird
willow crypt
It's pretty out there
austere lance
Void Bastards is lit, he's annoying af tho
willow crypt
austere lance
Is it another box 
willow crypt
Just watch, very surprising!
austere lance
I feel like my brain doesn't compute whatever type of humor this is, lol. It's a Jack in the Box
willow crypt
It's a horsey
rigid haven
Wtf!!!! Spoilers!!!
dry copper
@austere lance I love the style used in void bastards. Cel shading is awesome.
rigid haven
Currently in Humble Choice if they interests you
willow crypt
My bad
winter yew
oooo cool
dry copper
So I'll have it by next month then
They gave me boundless this month.
I was like...I already have this game.
winter yew
strange
dry copper
I have not once since the start of humble choice, selected all of the games in a given month to unlock for me...even though I have access to all of them as classic.
They just kind of ...meh
I'm hoping they look at the games people don't select and consider that as a metric in deciding future games.
I wanna see a Simpsons cel shaded rpg in the same size and grandiose fashion as RDR2...
but ALL simpsons related
willow crypt
Hit n run
winter yew
remaster that you cowards
willow crypt
Would be a great remake
But also expanded
Watching Radbrad play Uncharted 4. That game has such a great introduction scene
I hope Naughty Dog is working on a new IP next.
Too many AAA studios get into that sequel slog
winter yew
I dunno man... some studios find something that just WORKS and they stick with it. Game Freak is an example, just check out their non-Pokemon titles...
I almost never hear anyone talk about Little Town Hero or Tembo The Badass Elephant
willow crypt
Of course, the ones I play are usually quality
silver sparrow
Likely
winter yew
Possibly
willow crypt
But I like when big studios take chances
dry copper
Watchdogs Legion has a real opportunity to create a never ending cycle of content
winter yew
Lol
dry copper
Don't act like you wouldn't jimmy that old lady for her kung fu
willow crypt
I didn't know Jimmy was a verb
willow crypt
Ah yes
dry copper
Don't be jimmying my jimmy
willow crypt
Jimmy jimmys harambe's jimmies
Also, another studio that needs to push out a new IP
winter yew
Who’s that
willow crypt
Rockstar
winter yew
NO KIDDING
that GTAV at the beginning of the PS5 presentation was so annoying
Like dude, you’re the next Skyrim at this point
dry copper
There's a lot that can be done for top down that just isn't
austere lance
More news on Ubi games during the July 12th Ubi show
willow crypt
Oh right
austere lance
They gonna show Watch Dogs, their stupid BR that's blowing up rn, hopefully Beyond Good and Evil 2, and AC Valhalla
willow crypt
I'm interested in that open world breath of the wild style game
dry copper
I'd like to see a top down isometric shooter with car mechanics in a multiplayer setting with different RPG elements including world modes like catastrophe, civil war, zombie outbreak etc
austere lance
Beyond Good and Evil fans are literally the saddest group I've ever seen
dry copper
Are they sad hand job?
willow crypt
No news on BGaE2?
austere lance
The trailer for BGE 2 got shown at E3 2017 and there's more or less been no news since
dry copper
It's almost like the game was a concept
willow crypt
Honestly its nice they're taking a lot of time to develop it
dry copper
The problem with working so slowly with no news is, it says they have nothing to present
austere lance
The devs streamed 40 minutes of gameplay around then but all they've done since is continue to build up music for the game from that weird company Joseph Gordon-Levitt runs
dry copper
Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a weird person.
austere lance
They showed a bit of space combat like a year ago
dry copper
I like him though
willow crypt
He did a ted talk once
dry copper
Was it about being weird for the cause?
willow crypt
Probably
austere lance
willow crypt
dry copper
I hope Levitt finds his niche. he's firing off on all cylinders multitasking everywhere
willow crypt
Entrepreneur
dry copper
It's a nice portfolio but with no specialization, he corners no market and can be burned down easier
austere lance
Levitt busy with HitRecord
willow crypt
Gods and Monsters is the game I was thinking of
dry copper
Is that the RP game where you can turn people into monsters by your choices?
dry copper
I really like the game "Always Sometimes Monsters" but I wish it felt more compelling
For me it's more like...Always Always Monsters"
willow crypt
dry copper
Whcih explains why they came out next with "Sometimes Always Monsters"
austere lance
Levitt looks like he's having fun with HitRecord, at least
dry copper
Are you surprised? He gets to interact with a lot of creative people.
austere lance
Fuckin massive undertaking
dry copper
I expect HitRecord to one day overtake Youtube
austere lance
Hold up, EVERYONE with work that winds up in BGE 2 gets paid???
dry copper
😉
One day you'll be able to advertise in video games that flip out marketing based on real world ideas
cinder vessel
Hold up, EVERYONE with work that winds up in BGE 2 gets paid???
@austere lance no one's totally sure which is why back when they mentioned it people were super skeptical that they'd shaft people, paying with "exposure" instead
dry copper
Imagine pepsi paying for an ad that doesn't sell pepsi but promotes a logo in a game
the logo is clearly pepsi but it doesn't say pepsi
the idea is to bridge the gap between the story and the real world by making real world advertising marketable in a fictional universe
austere lance
I hope they have good stuff to show next weekend
I've been part of the Space Monkey Program for 3+ years now 😔
cinder vessel
that reminds me, did it turn out that gods & monsters thing they were working on was a Stadia exclusive or something?
I saw where something about it leaked but was too busy this past week to read up on it
willow crypt
I hope not
Don't see why Ubisoft would do exclusives with the resources they have
Other than 💰
austere lance
Apparently this is one of the more popular HitRecord songs for BGE 2
https://youtu.be/8-Pzl7RL2oQ
humble trout
Damn HZD is already a topseller in Steam it's not even out yet
cinder vessel
awkward moment when you listen to it too much and by time u play game u're like, jeeez they play this too mu-
oh wait no that was just me
austere lance
This one SLAPS
https://hitrecord.org/records/4109030
Fuck, music got me hyped for the game again 😭
It's been at least four years, I should know better than to be hyped 😭
willow crypt
These songs are a great fit for what we've seen so far
winter yew
@austere lance there was one song that was planned for use in that game but it was dropped
"Pre order now! Just fuck Steam!"
The band released it anyway
austere lance
austere lance
Tfw it's been 8 months since the last public BGE 2 update
https://youtu.be/IDwSuzEqSeE
willow crypt
I could imagine Die Antwoord doing music for it
austere lance
Oh goodie, it's only been two years since I joined the Space Monkey Program 🙄
Feels longer
That depressing moment when you've been registered for the beta that long
I remember everyone losing their shit when Ubi said its online-only
willow crypt
winter yew
I like BABYS ON FIRE and uhh... PITBULL TERRIER cuz the videos are just so ridiculous
austere lance
I do like how co-op has no tethering
willow crypt
Yeah their videos are pretty cool
austere lance
I'd bet money BGE 2 ain't happening on current gen, it's fuckin massive
willow crypt
Kitty so excited
dry copper
@winter yew lol that singer sounds like Jonathan Davis from Korn
winter yew
That’s Devin Townsend
dry copper
I know.
winter yew
Dudes been around for years
Used to front a metal band but his current sound is more progressive/rock opera
Oops meant to link this
cinder vessel
I remember everyone losing their shit when Ubi said its online-only
@austere lance wait is bg&e2? if so yeah fuck that
austere lance
That got announced long ago to much anger, lol
winter yew
But WHY
dry copper
What is online only?
BG&E2?
I imagine it's got a GTA multiplayer sort of setup going on with the single player elements being missions based in the MP world
austere lance
Cuz it's a big-ass shared universe
willow crypt
Maybe it's been long enough for them to hear the disapproval, so they'll change it
cinder vessel
fuck shared universes when they can revoke the universe at any time 
willow crypt
MY universe 
dry copper
Online only is just a recipe for disaster
cinder vessel
this is part of why i stopped caring for MMOs tbh
all that playtime only to lose access to the game at some point
dry copper
I have a shelf full of video games that went tits up because the company ended the online access
cinder vessel
and then big whoop
willow crypt
I doubt a studio that's been working on a game for 8 years wants it to go offline and no longer be playable
I doubt it'll be online only
cinder vessel
you'd be surprised...
austere lance
Doubt they'll change it, the game is massive and will probably be full of stuff like HitRecord concerts
cinder vessel
there's a long list of MMOs that underwent lengthy development only to go offline
dry copper
Vanguard anyone?
cinder vessel
Ubi loves trying to create community-driven games and then monetize the fuck outta them
dry copper
Or we can pretend that Age of Conan was a success
austere lance
Hence all their popular games being competitive pvp ones
dry copper
I miss Earth and Beyond
cinder vessel
In terms of business, it's not the worst idea if they can get a sizable, devoted payerbase
willow crypt
I won't mind the online if it's non-intrusive and people can't come up to me and try to invite me to be their friend
dry copper
I still get invites to join friends in RDR2 and I've literally never played its mp component
austere lance
Ubi's online market makes them the most money. R6, For Honor (that game refuses to die and still has a competitive playerbase), and their new obviously streamer-bait battle royale
dry copper
I uninstalled the game after finishing the campaign
willow crypt
Annoying
cinder vessel
lol
cinder vessel
speaking of friend invites i love how that's a new dumb annoyance in NMS with the crossplay stuff
dry copper
I wouldn't mind friends if they happened naturally
cinder vessel
and it can disrupt whatever you're doing, like trying to leave the anomaly
austere lance
I forsee BGE 2 doing a Destiny MMO-lite thing with social areas and co-op stuff but also things you can do alone
dry copper
I don't mind people who say hi, give tips, talk shit about stuff
cinder vessel
yeah
cinder vessel
it's the desperate folks that spam friend invites and pester you to basically escort them through stuff that ruin friend systems in many games
austere lance
I will say I appreciate the lack of tethering in the game. Your friend can be on a planet robbing a bank while you're chilling out on your ship in orbit
dry copper
I'm not sure that's always the case.
cinder vessel
Oh it's definitely not always so, but it's been my experience here & there
dry copper
But I also clean my friends list when people don't talk much
If I'm not a priority that's fine, no hard feelings. Neither are you.
austere lance
The GTA comparisons worry me, cuz they said you'll be able to have jobs like a pizza delivery driver
cinder vessel
...why would you want that 
dry copper
Why would you want to deliver pizza? Have you seen the pu...I mean, have you received the TIPS?
willow crypt
Yes @cinder vessel , it is a new annoyance
austere lance
Idk. You can have jobs, be a space pirate, rob places, explore temples(?), and idk what else
Plus there's a story
dry copper
I would like to be a detective and solve things detectively
I would use backwards language that sounds almost like words
All the things would thing the things.
austere lance
Ship customization, ship combat (which I'll admit looks damn beautiful), and general fuckery like stealing flying tuk tuks
fluid hare
Deductively, you mean.
austere lance
Ngl from everything they've show it's basically space GTA Online
fluid hare
“Tuk tuk” sounds hilarious!
dry copper
Flying tuk tuk...hahahaha, you can't even get a decent tuk tuk that is stable on the ground...now they want flying ones?
fluid hare
It’s basically a VW camper van mixed with a Reliant Robin.
dry copper
Lets get a three wheeled barrel with a motor and create the equivalent disability in the air
I bet you do
austere lance
There's super weird dark shit like hybrids treated as lesser beings and used for blood-sports, slavery, and......other things. Or cute ones literally being sold as toys to children
dry copper
Human trafficking.
austere lance
Hybrid trafficking
fluid hare
E... em.
austere lance
But yes
fluid hare
That sounds awful.
cinder vessel
a lot of that is basically elaborating on stuff from the first, so yeah
but now they're like, here it is, upfront
dry copper
So basically the real world of Taiwan
austere lance
Not posting the other pic of what they get used for cuz ew
Wow my phone freaked out hard 🤣
dry copper
FBI be like...
austere lance
Ubi made it, not me 😆
dry copper
Know of any good covers of the song Lateralus, with a female lead vocalist?
willow crypt
Nope
Watched the black mirror episode with Miley Cyrus today
She does a cover of a nine inch nails song
Pretty good

Oh I'm a dipshit. It's not Taiwan. It's Thailand that traffics humans

dry copper
I'ma post this to bring up a topic of discussion but state beforehand, I disagree with the argument wholesale that only major brands can success with a game that looks inspired by Cyberpunk 2077.
dry copper
If we're talking indie, for instance, Cloudpunk is awesome
winter yew
i told him not to get his hopes up
because its being developed by a very small studio in partnership with Tencent
the game in that thumbnail anyway
Code SYN or whatever
dry copper
I worry that people are going to shit on the theme because Cyberpunk is taking up all the oxygen in the air.
winter yew
dry copper
Let games live and die on their own merits
winter yew
I had to do research on this game because the trailer just seemed too good to be true
lots of fake CGI game trailers for games that aren't actually being worked on
dry copper
Thanks for the link
winter yew
I mean look at that and tell me it doesn't come off as fake
dry copper
lol Syn looks horrible
Syn looks like a chinese knock off
The appearance is there, but the material can't withstand much stress or even basic use
winter yew
Kid: "Mom can you buy me Cyberpunk 2077?"
Mom: "We have cyberpunk at home."
Cyberpunk at home:
dry copper
That entire syn trailer is rendered from Unreal. Not a single frame was game.
brisk merlin
"characters are realistic yet stylish" w h a t lmao
winter yew
ahaha yeah that line
crisp sparrow
makes sense, real people aren't stylish enough
dry copper
With enough talent and time you can make the same thing using the steam's source filmmaker
I wouldn't be surprised to see someone make a parody of syn using source film maker
brisk merlin
they jsut took the hud that the division has and put like a few angles on it
dry copper
Even the same icons
brisk merlin
the characters look like any anime game characters
thats not realistic
just generic
and the music at the start, I think ive heard that in a game before
dry copper
China pisses me off. They don't make their own shit. They rip off everyone else.
winter yew
What is The Division made in, anyway
Ohh Snowdrop
wait what.. Starlink uses that game engine lol
that's interesting
dry copper
Im eager to see the RedEngine used for Cyberpunk
The technology used for the iteration in Witcher 3 was amazing.
Syn is fake. It's not real. The tech demo isn't a tech demo. It's a video. CGI patched together into an animation sequence
Not a single element of that video made it look like a game
raven frost
it looks like a mobile game ad
dry copper
Maybe. Probably. It's China. They have been jerking off mobile gaming for the majority of their market growth
I'm surprised they haven't just decided to go legit and built a stadia with their super duper 5G 😛
raven frost
I get the feeling stadia wasn't designed for the US market tbh
dry copper
I always got the impression it was aimed at turning mobile gaming into the only gaming, by removing the need for a PC to game entirely.
raven frost
that's exactly what they were trying to do, even the market said that
dry copper
As a computerman, I'm sure you can understand why that would fail from a consumer point.
raven frost
I mean I can see the appeal
I wouldn't mind playing a full on AAA game from my phone if I could
winter yew
i just don't get how anyone can think streaming games is a good idea when most places don't have the kind of internet connection required to use said service at a playable performance
dry copper
Would you sacrifice playing from a PC though, ever again?
dry copper
Because temporary pleasures can lead to market collapses
winter yew
same
raven frost
and acey has a point, part of me doesn't blame stadia for failing necessarily, more the networking infrastructure of the US
dry copper
Has stadia failed though? I haven't been up on the news
raven frost
it's not dead but from what I can tell things have been pretty quiet
dry copper
Quiet good or quiet bad
raven frost
¯_(ツ)_/¯
last thing I recall hearing about it was some game going to stadia and people laughing at it
dry copper
lol
raven frost
also a bunch of stadia exclusives
OH and the last stadia connect livestream was 15 minutes and barely showed anything apparently
though this news is like
several months old at this point
winter yew
Audiosurf 2 update
owo
oh wait bugfix, nvm
I'm still mad they had to pull Youtube streaming from Audiosurf 2 😦
raven frost
all in all I wouldn't say stadia has necessarily failed - rather, not gone nearly as well as google hoped it would
dry copper
I suspect Stadia was just a trojan for the industry to shift gears. There will be another kick at the can.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Steam cloud computing.
dry copper
They have cloud saves atm. Wouldn't shock me to find they are attempts at testing cloud computing infrastructure
Building the backend before launch
I always end up disabling cloud saves. I don't like having to sync saves with steam saves.
I get the appeal, that you never have to save local...
but I never play a game enough to give a shit about saves before deleting it.
I play game, save, come back, play, save, etc, delete game and saves...never care about the saves
wet warren
If I had to guess at why it failed then I would say it’s a mix of the networking not being good everywhere like you guys said and their poor business model
dry copper
It would be cool if you could cloud save with friends in games you play coop
Like Stardew Valley
Then no matter who loads up the game they can pull from the latest save
wet warren
That would be nice
winter yew
lol no
its not that, it's that a lot of places just haven't been upgraded to the type of connection that would give fast enough speeds to play it reliably
unless you live in a big city

Dm/ping
dry copper
@winter yew Have you considered joining a gaming forum for your favorite games?
There are gaming networks for that kind of stuff
winter yew
i play too many games
dry copper
So a forum that is less about a specific game and perhaps more about a community. There are those too.
winter yew
or i just cant find anyone who wants to join or accept me
dry copper
Pick a game and I'll do a search to see if there's a community network for it.
Usually they aren't game exclusive
They'll list a bunch of games there members play
I assume it's for PC?
What region of the world?
relevant for timezone selection
You don't want to join a gaming community where the members are all on the other side of the world and don't play during your gaming hours
Interesting. The Minecraft community getting a lot of request for friends rn
wet warren
@winter yew What platform do you play those games on?
winter yew
pc
wet warren
Ahh. NMS is the only one out of the games you listed that I have on PC
winter yew
i have a ps4 but i dont really like controllers
yea i dont mind nms just kinda bored of it rn i beat the game basicly
il check out the minecraft community

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Its their story to tell and it is not any one of our stories to tell. If we're upset we should close our mouths and go play something we like 👏

I can't think of any scenario that would make me angry enough to send death threats and wishes of death.

It's outlandish

I'm not a particularly big fan of where they went with the story but that's just sad
willow crypt
Sad people lashing out at people with a creative vision. People who create, getting attacked by people who don't create shit

don't need to be a creator to judge creations, but there's a certain amount of experience and objectivism that's necessary
most professional critics in any field aren't creators

i think it's different, it isn't judgement, it's just hate
hateful words spewed by people who can't prioritize their lives properly

Fuckin streamerbait HyperScape is already getting people hyped, smh

it doesn't look like it brings anything new to the table

the post death mechanic is nice
austere lance
Using copies of your weapon to upgrade it, turning into an Echo when you die so you can scout around, winning by being the surviving team or holding the crown for 45 seconds, and funky events like Low Gravity or Infinite Ammo
Also has solo mode, which automatically makes it better than Apex imo
The hack powers look cool and the animations for everything are slick
They gone and did my boi dirty

Oh no

the mechanics in that hyperscape game are cool, i wish it wasn't a BR

hyper scape looks like it brings a lot new to the table, maybe not revolutionary changes but I"d almost be interested if it wasn't online mp only

Yeah it's a BR, unfortunately

lmfao.
I can't believe they released Breakpoint without the AI teammates to begin with.
I can't believe they are taking so long to implement it.
no shit
I loved them in Wildlands
Me too!
austere lance
I can't believe the game requires an internet connection
winter yew
that too is BS
austere lance
Also can't believe it's so bad that people getting it for hella cheap after the realism update are still saying it's mediocre at best

All they had to do was expand on what Wildlands is.

@austere lance Ugh. Hyperscape looks like it's going to be a game full of snipers

i think the hack stuff might play into encouraging a different playstyle
wonder how big the maps will be

Snipers shouldn't be camping anyway

if you're jumping around with a sniper and can aim reliably that's a strategy

Basically the introduction of Homo Erectus
raven frost
huEH
dry copper
I mean, how far can you evolve?
cinder vessel
I think it's to get to like upright, tool-using, pseudo-tribal stage? I've not looked into whether it goes past that though
dry copper
hmm. Interesting. I thought conceptually it was going to be a bit more ambitious.

wine goddam lemme go sir

Huh, I missed this...Supposedly Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey was to be the first of a trilogy of games, wherein you develop from early to more recent human ancestors
dry copper
Was to be?
Is it cancelled or just not realized? I might;ve missed something in the article
cinder vessel
It's basically put off to somewhen in the future as they work on a different title
So it may never come to be, time will tell though
Plus the first game wasn't the most well received, which probably puts it further off from seeing sequels worked on

Hey, it can't be worse than the last one

...what even was the last one

Holy Wow
I was playing an old ps2 game
and I put on these weird 3d tapestry glasses, that are supposed to make certain colored fabrics kinda pop out atcha
and parts of the game became jarringly 3d
the targeting lasers of the enemies were especially popping out at me, it was absurd
cinder vessel
...sly cooper 3?
deft thicket
No, no, Ratchet Deadlocked
cinder vessel
oh huh
deft thicket
Some of the explosions were also very poppy
other than that it was a psychidelic mess of color but it was kinda fun
cinder vessel
sounds cool
dry copper
Sounds like something that should come with a decoder ring
Daaaamn son,y....ps 2....
ngl, ps2 was my all time favorite console
In terms of title saturation
It had the next gen, plus tons of games, plus old stuff ported to it, plus it was backwards compatible in later models with ps1 games
It was the goat of consoles
That and Nintendo Gamecube

And I just realized that Leon already answered that. I will now delete my comment in shame

Them sneaky fuckers selling Life is Strange 2 for like $2
Thats the first chapter. The rest of the chapters cost an additional $40
I thought deadspace 3 was the end of the deadspace trilogy and that it was over years ago...
Wondering why steam is showing it as a new release from june of this year
wet warren
Supposedly a new one is coming out
austere lance
Cuz EA just started selling their games on Steam recently
winter yew
I always want no mans sky to have more combat aspects because I’m normally into shooters
But I also play it to chill and I don’t want it to be like modern warfare or some shit
wet warren
Tbh I just want it to be heavily exploration based
winter yew
Same tho
deft thicket
Yeah there are a lot of weirdos on the reddit always spewing these crazy ideas about how they want NMS to be a crazy mandatory mmo elite-dangerous style thing
And it scares ne
winter yew
Some more combat would be nice ngl though
deft thicket
Definitely
winter yew
I don’t want it to be elite dangerous
deft thicket
I just worry that they’ll go overboard
winter yew
Or an mmo, really
deft thicket
Yeah
dry copper
I'd rather it be like Genesis Alpha where your ship can get invaded
and you gotta fight off shit
winter yew
The rare times I’ve been inside a ship currently in combat shit was insane
dry copper
Not just dog fighting but inside
deft thicket
No matter what combat aspects they add, I woyld hope they structure it so that those who prefer non-combat playstyles don’t find themselves overwhelmed
winter yew
Naturally
dry copper
Yeah don't have a personal squabblebox installed on your gidget widget
winter yew
It would need it to be a more optional sort of deal because I don’t always want to be shooting shit up, but it’s always fun
At the end of the day I wish they’d focus more on planet variation
deft thicket
And I’d love if the bounty missions were a little more story and travel heavy. Like, there’s a reason this pire did whatever he did and there’s a specific place I have to find him.
winter yew
I honestly don’t give a damn about bases
dry copper
Who needs planets when they can have just space variation
Imagine a planet that's just aaaaaall water. A bubble floating in space.
deft thicket
Variation is the big problem right now, even the most fringe playstyle people agree on that
wet warren
Who needs variation at all when they can have a basebuilding mmo sim
winter yew
Lmao
That’s the attitude I’m concerned
with
My enter finger is jumping the gun lol
winter yew
I remember seeing the original trailers way back when and being awestruck
The original art direction was soooooo cool
dry copper
Yeah. That part where they're all head banging to queen
deft thicket
The closest this game came to that aesthetic was in Adrift and Foundations
winter yew
Yeah
dry copper
The director didn't even want to use bohemian rhapsody
winter yew
I wish they stuck with it
dry copper
Wayne was like...Dude, it's bo rhap or I quit
deft thicket
They kind of abandoned their whole sci fi theme and made it into... well... “realistic-ness”
winter yew
The artstyle as is is still damn cool though imo
It still has a bit of that cartoony clean look to it
winter yew
But I don’t like how things are going more “realistic”
dry copper
They look like fat birds.
winter yew
I hate when dumbass redditors are going on about bringing modders onto the team officially
That shit would ruin the game for me
wet warren
@winter yew But sometimes that can be a good thing
For example
A modder who makes a lot of variation content
Are you familiar with Rayrod?
winter yew
Yeah, he’s one of the better ones but it still looks off to me
dry copper
Since Rayrod used to be if he isn't still, on this discord...
I'm sure most are familiar with him
wet warren
He's not
winter yew
I’m an NMS boomer lmao
wet warren
I just used him as an example because of how crazy the variety would be with his upcoming MV mod
wet warren
Something like MV would literally solve the variety issue
wet warren
That's...not good
winter yew
Even though it is a pro, that faux-4K ain’t easy on it on PS4
It’s a damn beautiful game
wet warren
Yep
But you know what would make it even more beautiful...😏
I'm sure you know where I'm going with this
winter yew
🅱️ruh
austere lance
winter yew
@wet warren I wouldn’t get your hopes up about RayRod’s MV mod, it’s ‘snake oil’ to say the least.
wet warren
As I said I was just using it as an example
winter yew
Alright 👍

Finally finished "Beyond two souls". Played like a mini series movie with unintuitive controls that pop in with QTE seemingly based on jump scare logic. Beyond this, the movement controls were janky as fuck as you'd be going one direction, the camera randomly swing around and your direction gets changed by the camera angle. At times, sending you literally in circles.
The acting was alright. The graphics were nice. I enjoyed the story. Worth it on sale at a steep discount for the story alone
Wouldn't recommend it for more than $20.
ripe frost
KSP2 will erase me from NMS forever lol
charred badge
@dry copper the best QTE implementation remains Asura's Wrath
The heavy attack button does heavy attacks in QTEs.
The light attack button does light attacks in QTEs.
The sticks do dramatic movements.
Etc
And it uses them to do fabulous over the top moments rather than... turning doorknobs

@opal iris joystick having a delay when centering seems to happen a lot when there's lag.
I've found that either plugging in via USB, using a USB Bluetooth device instead of the internal one, using a proprietary dongle, or using the SC USB extender for dongles can help

they'd have to cut out driving and flight since movement in vr that isn't your own = motion sickness (unless you get used to it over time, which is possible)

willow crypt
Oh

I mean people kind of got used to space flight in NMS VR right?
wet warren
A realistic space sim vr game would be cool
austere lance
@vestal wren I never finished it but it supposedly has hundreds of hours of content, lol
@raven frost Star Wars Squadrons will have VR
raven frost
I saw
willow crypt
But it's not space sim
vestal wren
not really, depends on what you did. the story was very short and all the extras you could do didn't really accomplish much
mostly just upgrading weapons or enchanting stuff
austere lance
Even with DLC's?
vestal wren
still fun but it only pads the short story by a bit. But i kinda liked that, felt more scoped instead of way too large
raven frost
what I mean is less of a flight sim and more of an EVA sim
oh god you know what needs a vr port?
willow crypt
A bug's life
vestal wren
DLCs didnt add too too much, was some nice extra content but smaller than main game iirc
austere lance
That Shipbreaker game would slap with VR

I'm sure that's a next gen focus

We'd probably need to pare the headset down to wireless glasses/headphones for major comfort

one of the most fun FPS games I've ever played and I HATE competitive FPS games
It has a decent campaign and a PVE mode to get you used to how the game plays if you don't wanna jump straight into pvp
winter yew
5-7 hours
it's really good though
its pretty varied, platforming, shooting, mech action, just a good mix
and the movement is fantastic, i thought wall-running would be tough to get used to be it feels natural
austere lance
Yeah Acey pretty much covered it, lol
I despise multiplayer in anything but Halo, Titanfall 2 hooked me hard af though. Campaign is pretty damn good and lets you use the loadouts of every Titan class that you can play as in multiplayer
winter yew
And you don’t get too punished if you lose in pvp matches
austere lance
Plus the multiplayer has a PvE mode that's stupidly fun and changes the upgrades for each Titan a bit
winter yew
Still get XP
I never touched the PVE until the steam release lmao
I owned the game since it’s original release and had no idea about it
I will admit I burned myself out for awhile and when the player count dropped and left with only elite players I got bored real quick but this revival with the steam release has been amazing
Now I don’t feel bad about getting my ass kicked by newer players hehe. Though there have been some matches where we were matched unfairly and we decided to take it easy on the other team which was obviously full of newer players
austere lance
PvE mode is lit

you see kids, back in my day there was an explosion of internet girls who were very relatable to other girls who felt the same way like these e-celebs do in their relatable youtube videos, there was even a colloquial term they used for themselves, "potato". The gist of it is, it was a showcase of how these girls really felt like as they were going through the motions of puberty using very relatable terminology of "haha I'm so random" "I REALLY love Pizza like omg" "I would totally glomp him" "herp I did a derp" and we found solace in such comforting words and to know that even girls thought similarly to guys
