I just ordered a digital pen scanner from Irispen

Sorry my games have been replaced with studying ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

Everspace 2 tho

#

Microsoft will leave zenimax alone
Oh good, maybe a parent company that knows not to kick the golden goose.

winter yew
#

I hope they don't screw that game up

#

the demo was pretty nice

dry copper
#

@charred badge Historically Microsoft hasn't fucked with the development of the companies it owns

charred badge
#

Nice

#

Except hopefully they make Bethesda and obsidian kiss and make up?

dry copper
#

I hope not

#

Competition is good

charred badge
#

Bethesda, competition?

dry copper
#

Even employees compete with one another

#

It's conceptual, not literal

austere lance
#

I finally hit 100k Gamerscore, lol

charred badge
#

I meant I understand competition being a good thing
It's why I want more fully featured pc game stores

dry copper
#

What is a gamerscore?

charred badge
#

Xbox peen measurement

#

whoa

charred badge
#

It's like the points on Whose Line

austere lance
#

@dry copper It's the points you get for achievements

#

Or steam trading card badges

dry copper
#

I see.

#

I wish game retailers would give you shit for those cheevoes

#

Like discounts

charred badge
#

Props to bungie, they give discounts on their promo stuff when you accomplish things in a given timeframe

winter yew
#

so far RGO is pretty fun

winter yew
wet warren
#

Im hoping that Microsoft would at least make sure that Bethesda doesn't pull any scummy crap

austere lance
#

We are humbled by the record-breaking demand for Xbox Series X and S. Huge thanks to everyone for the excitement. ๐Ÿ™

If you weren't successful today be sure to sign up with retailers for updates, and expect more consoles to be available on November 10. ๐Ÿ’š

That's a fighter I designed and built in Empyrion Galactic Survival.

I played Elite Dangerous. It got boring after a while. I did like that it supported a HOTAS and head tracking, though. Wish NMS had that.

charred badge
#

Anyone else remember space trader?

#

NMS has a virtual hotas

#

Lol

winter yew
#

I didn't even realize I just played Rebel Galaxy Outlaw for nearly 4 hours. Noiiice

#

Really enjoying this, can't wait to get a ship that's more capable in combat

#

Feels like an arcadey version of Elite's combat, with power management and you can even set how your weapons fire

I was disappointed that it's not on gamepass. I'm getting spoiled.

I do like how you can radio the enemies and try to talk them down from attacking you in RGO.

Wow

And when it fails

It was a boring conversation anyway.

I encountered a distress signal where a trading vessel was stuck in a minefield, so he asked me to shoot out the mines. I was rewarded with some rare materials and on the way back to the station I was attacked by pirates that wanted my loot. I died so fast lmao.

charred badge
#

I love charisma builds

cinder vessel
#

I still can't decide which platform I want to get RGO on

charred badge
#

They're the gameplay that really pushes a game to not be a more fiddly shooter game

cinder vessel
#

I have this bad habit at times w/ charisma stuff of talking all around the person it would be most useful to talk to, and no longer needing to use it with them

charred badge
#

Heh

#

As in, you use the workaround methods for lower charisma?

cinder vessel
#

It's either I talk around them or I explore around them

#

Nah, I just talk to other folks that also sometimes let me bypass them

winter yew
#

@cinder vessel get it on Steam :V

charred badge
#

Although to be fair, fallout makes it way too easy to skip basically the entire game by talking

cinder vessel
#

Steam isn't DRM free tho =/

winter yew
#

I suppose

cinder vessel
#

Apparently Epic is, but they don't give installers like GOG

winter yew
#

ah right

#

I have seen mention of the Epic version being DRM free

#

though I'm not sure how that works

cinder vessel
#

It's like Steam, depends on dev/publisher

#

Basically you'd just move the files away from the Epic install directory, if I were to guess

#

Then you just launch directly from the executable, or create shortcut or link it to preferred client

#

It seems as though this is only due to the remaster being a separate game, though an interesting thing to think about nonetheless

austere lance
#

Your old PS4 copy won't get upgraded to the new version because of this too, smh

#

This is mainly targeted at people who like physical copies, you can install the game and any patches or day one updates before release then immediately play when your disc arrives

rigid haven
#

Now thays a neat feature

austere lance
#

Tho it's also cool for digital people who wanna download the game, check out reviews and whatnot, then buy it and immediately play it if they like it

Through their eyes, obviously

winter yew
#

creepy

wide kestrel
#

do they need to eat??

#

also that doesn't show soft tissue save for the eyes

#

therefore we can assume that they have a mouth hidden by a flap of flesh somewhere

re: Mass Turds

dry copper

8K gaming will completely remove the need for anti-aliasing

cinder vessel
#

yeah but will you be able to read menus

dry copper
#

Why wouldn't you?

wide kestrel
#

if a game supports 8k it can prolly scale text

dry copper
#

You can read the menus on the video of the game playing 8k

cinder vessel
#

menus have been all over the place the higher the resolution in my experience

some fine, some...not so much

Oh. My. God. The destruction in Control is next level stupid fun.

I was thinking I couldn't hit this one dude cuz he had an awkward angle, so I used tele, grabbed something down by him and fired it at him from the angle it was sitting...was like firing from two entirely different angles

#

Yikes at that drive price

#

Knew it was gonna be some crazy markup, gotta make their money somewhere I guess

#

Though it is pcie gen 4 which is slightly more expensive. Still higher price than m.2 drives with the same specs, but not quite double like gen 3

pcie gen 4 interface @bronze wind

#

make no assumptions about what is on the other side of the interface

bronze wind
#

well yeah I know they're just saying "custom" to jack the price up

silver sparrow
#

i am selling my custom used socks, $500 per pair

bronze wind
#

at the end of the day it's still cheaper than a PC with same capabilities with a combined 2TB of nvme storage, but I already have a PC so oh well lmao

thorn dawn
#

I dunno about cheaper

#

when you factor in the total cost over its lifetime

#

the games are more expensive, which is how they claw the pennies back from the loss they make on hardwarre

silver sparrow
#

how are pc games cheaper

bronze wind
#

if you follow the strategy of waiting for sales and shit like that

#

but also with console you can get used copies so it's sort of irrelevant

#

Xbox series x + Gamepass is cheapest entry into 4k capable gaming, assuming games actually push 4k on it

silver sparrow
#

i'm usually just very patient waiting for ps4 large discounts

#

if i go ps5 (likely) then i will splurt on a launch title

bronze wind
#

funny to use "total cost over lifetime" as an argument for PC though, seeing as how people upgrade their rigs after 2-3 years on average, typically with new GPUs that cost as much as a console lol

#

Like I prefer PC but I'm never ever going to tell someone it's a cheaper/more cost efficient option

dry copper
#

It's not.

#

I have a PC worth two brand new consoles, for all the shit I added to it.

bronze wind
#

a few years ago it used to be an argument but it really isn't now with how the gap has been closed between consoles and PC capability.

#

And even a few years ago it was like, borderline the same price lol

dry copper
#

It's not like consoles got a lot cheaper. PC are ridiculously expensive now

bronze wind
#

For sure, like just a GPU is typically a comparable price to console, if you want it to perform similarly

#

I'd argue it's more expensive if you factor in next gen

dry copper
#

GPU used to be something you added to a PC...Now a days it takes up 80% of the PC budget

bronze wind
#

CPU + GPU is like 95% if you're building a gaming rig

dry copper
#

Maybe 70%. Need some room for CPU

#

Proof that physical games are ded
@austere lance no u

austere lance
#

Lol

cinder vessel
#

Seriously though, until internet infrastructure is better across the board, physical isn't going anywhere

#

That's one of the major reasons it's still supported to the degree that it is

#

Also until console makers can get their platforms together to where digital downloads faster or their storefronts aren't ass to navigate, physical won't go anywhere, lol

#

Nintendo & Sony are particularly rough in this regard, if not in download speeds then certainly in storefront feeling like garbage

#

That song is so crazy. It's fantastic.

#

It reminds me of the crazy narratives in songs like Word Disassociation.

austere lance
#

@cinder vessel Physical is already gone, discs have just been plastic keys for a couple of years now. They don't have anything useful on em, besides maybe half a game

bronze wind
#

But you still have a physical disc lol, and not every game requires an update to be played off of the disc

austere lance
#

If I plug Titanfall 2 into my Xbox rn it'll show me that only half the game is on the disc and the rest I'll have to download

#

Cuz it's an 80 GB game, lol

bronze wind
#

yeah that's one game, not every game works that way

#

I know the 360 backwards compat is like that as well because it's basically just "I own this" then it downloads an xbone compatible app to run the game

austere lance
#

Discs only hold 40 GB cuz we're dumb and gave up on upgrading disc tech ๐Ÿ˜”

bronze wind
#

yeah, not every game is over 40GB though

austere lance
#

Most are, especially next gen

bronze wind
#

I wouldn't say "most" without actually seeing stats lol

#

Unless you're just talking AAA games strictly

#

then yeah they tend to be very bloated and large

#

but physical isn't going to completely die for a bit. I dont' really have anything against digital either, I use gamepass and steam lol. But I just don't think it's accurate to say it's going away soon

#

if we're taking strictly xbox, yeah they've trended more towards digital only than anyone else so far. But it doesn't mean it's the global trend for games

rigid haven
#

Physical will never die as long as poopy intetnet exists

#

I havent had many games that like

#

Required updates to them before I could play

bronze wind
#

Plenty don't require that, obviously some multiplayer based ones would before you could play online, but I think you aren't buying a multiplayer game if downloading updates is impossible lol

rigid haven
#

Yeah yeah

#

If physical ever dies I will cry

#

But I will never cry for physical shall never die

Tbh I like the disco vibe

So fresh

#

What do you think of the new one?

cinder vessel
#

Discs only hold 40 GB cuz we're dumb and gave up on upgrading disc tech ๐Ÿ˜”
@austere lance that isn't true at all, lmao
blu-rays can hold up to 128gb

austere lance
#

Why do my game discs only have 40 tho

cinder vessel
#

Small correction, rewritable up to 128gb, printed discs look like they'd go up to 100gb.

#

As to 40, it may be from them cheaping out and going for dual-layer

#

But by no means did disc tech suddenly cut out and get stuck at low capacities.

austere lance
cinder vessel
#

Tbh if publishers were smarter about handling this, they'd put as many of the bulky assets on disc as they could for faster installs, and then make "lighter" assets & tweaks for quicker update downloads

#

But that's thinking in terms of user experience, and not strictly profitability, so of course that's not how that's going to happen

austere lance
#

I still don't know why publishers cheap out and put the games on crappy 40 GB discs

tame coral
#

Because cheap

#

Earn more profit

cinder vessel
#

It's probably because whatever they can have ready to print fits those capacities and then they shovel the rest on through updates

#

'cause yeah, profits and crap

#

What's wild is that doing some quick research suggests it may cost around $2 to $4 per disc to print, and industry standard appears to be the dual-layer 50gb discs

#

So if one supposes that $4 is for 100gb discs, they may be saving $2 per disc

austere lance
#

Sorta what I meant earlier, publishers are gonna let physical die out cuz it's cheaper to release things digitally than print discs even tho discs make a better user experience

cinder vessel
#

Either way, all digital is just another way to be cheap fucks

#

Which, frankly, I wouldn't have as much of an issue with...If they gave better means to retain digital content

austere lance
#

I've never actually lost anything digitally before tbh. Ducktales Remastered got taken off stores for a bit but if you had it installed it didn't disappear

cinder vessel
#

You wanna go all digital, you better be damn sure I can redownload/reinstall on new hardware (within reason) or you fuckers gonna get slammed

austere lance
#

You're describing backwards compatibility, lol

cinder vessel
#

Like there's a clear reason why PS3 digital couldn't go to PS4, weirdass hardware, but if the hardware's similar af...

#

Yeah, and that's about the only thing I probably support about the Xbox, lol

austere lance
#

I'm playing a game from 2004 on my Xbone rn ๐Ÿ˜†

#

What do you not support lonk

#

Now I'm curious

cinder vessel
#

Besides the increasing push to all digital w/o clear ability to retain digital content?

#

And I don't mean just keeping it installed, because say there's a hard drive fail & they've closed the store on the system, then what?

#

But that's not strictly an Xbox concern, obvs, also applies to Sony/PlayStation

tame coral
#

What do you think of the new one?
@balmy plaza it's dope

cinder vessel
#

Somewhat more unique to Xbox tho is their push for subscription models, whether Game Pass or Gold, which has encouraged Nintendo/Sony to emulate them in one way or another

austere lance
#

@cinder vessel That's a publisher thing. To use the Ducktales thing again, if you owned it (not just installed it) when it got taken off the store you could still download it whenever

cinder vessel
#

The platform thing is access to installers tho, which they (nor PlayStation nor Nintendo) do not provide

austere lance
#

I've uninstalled and reinstalled it a few times since it got taken off stores

cinder vessel
#

Still reliant on access to the store to do so tho

#

It's not dissimilar from Steam in that respect

#

But it binds you to access to the storefront

austere lance
#

You don't use the store to download stuff you own as far as I'm aware. There's just the Ready to Install part of your dashboard

#

I've downloaded stuff when the store had an update and wouldn't let me use it til I updated

cinder vessel
#

Hmm, well the best way to put it to the test would be to disconnect it completely from the internet and see, lol

austere lance
#

Download a digital game with no internet, lol?

cinder vessel
#

You don't use the store to download stuff you own as far as I'm aware. There's just the Ready to Install part of your dashboard
thonk

#

What's ready to install if it's not yet downloaded

#

Not trying to be pedantic but that's a big smh at the UI ppl

austere lance
#

Oop, am dumb

#

Hasn't been called that for a while, now you just have the Full Library section with All Owned Games tab that you download from

cinder vessel
#

Gotcha. See what I'd appreciate from Steam et al. is an area to keep installers downloaded & ready to reinstall from, rather than just the streamlined option.

#

Because nothing in games sucks more than having to redownload a fuckton of a game

#

Hell if they handled it right it might even be easier on their network infrastructure

I'm more scared for the PS5, the vents in those big-ass fins are terrifying

right?

bronze wind

If the fins come off easily then cleaning will be pretty simple lol

#

Idk what's terrifying about vents though

coarse swift
#

Maybe how small they are?

#

PS4 has relatively the same few millimeters of opening

bronze wind
#

They look a bit larger to me, I do wonder if the heatsink is substantially large to help pull heat away. I know they mentioned efforts to reduce fan noise

coarse swift

Gonna need some efforts for sure

That's about how my PS4 sounds when running NMS

Speaking of

#

I need to go check my AI farms

#

I'm hearing people got their planets changed.

bronze wind
#

The patch should have fixed any messed up bases

#

But yeah before the first hotfix patch there were some issues lol

#

Though AI farming has been nerfed a bit.

coarse swift
#

Is it just for new ones though?

winter yew
#

AI farming?

#

I'm not suuuure what that means but I do have an activated indium farm I might go check on

#

lol

#

Rebel Galaxy Outlaw just HAD to come out on steam the same week as Origins

#

gonna be wild bouncing between both hahah

bronze wind
#

@coarse swift the yields for the mineral deposits have diminishing returns for every extractor placed. Not sure how it works for existing ones. Also they reduced the impact of economy crashing using activated metals

#

But, not sure how much it's actually nerfed it

winter yew
#

ahh

#

I knew about the economy thing but I didnt know about diminishing returns

bronze wind
#

yeah I can't remember the exact wording, I'll check the patch notes

winter yew
#

Ahhhh I see

dry copper
#

@austere lance The internals of that machine you posted look like a digital goatse

#

@bronze wind That looks like a very smart move.

bronze wind
#

seems like a good compromise yeah, i saw some people upset their farms were nerfed but I imagine these people also have like max units anyways which means they'll never need units ever again lol

She's most likely getting royalties, though it hasnt been confirmed or denied either direction

#

So far, my take on Control: Combat is fun as hell. Love the tactical options you get with all these powers. Destructive environments are beautifully chaotic. Lots of hidden secrets. Find the story disconnected and poorly written...It's like an episode of the Twilight Zone that never ends...and that wouldn't be a bad thing if "finding your brother" felt like a more compelling agenda. My character acts like she barely gives a shit about him.

#

By far the worst actor in the entire game is the main female lead.

#

Everyone else felt like they belonged in the world.

#

Their characters, some quirky, had a reckless abandon you might expect in that scenario...The main character, she acts like an outsider from the onset...and the game opens with you in a position that does not make any sense.

#

It reminded me of a mission in Rage 2 where you become The President of the United States and every time you open an ark they're like "Welcome Mr. President"

#

It felt as contrived as that.

#

Whats wrong with Parry Hotter?

#

Only thing I know and don't like about JK is her retconning shit on the fly to fit with whatever bullshit political statement she wants to make at any given time. Though I suppose she could add a dick to Hermione and it wouldn't technically be retconning since it was never established she didn't have a dick.

What's happening with the development?

austere lance
#

It's Star Citizen but 3x more toxic for the employees

#

It's 7 years of development hell where the director is a toxic asshole that's so much of a dick to his employees that half of them use up their annual sick leave quickly from stress

#

Everything shown in the 2017 gameplay was immediately scrapped because it was created solely for the show it was at

glass plinth
#

Reminds me of a fellow that worked in the early development era for Molyneux.

#

He was so crushed from stress he could barely think after working on black and white. Then he went to Maxis and worked with Will Wright

#

He literally cried for a week. All that stress was boiling out and Will totally understood. Ended up getting three other devs from the same studio, all of them melted down from relief.

The primary factor holding up development, beyond the pandemic, is the original Mass Effect game. It currently does not live up to the quality of the rest of the package. It would make a poor first impression for new players, and it might disappoint fans who then wonโ€™t go on to play and experience the impressive upgrades for Mass Effect 2 and ME 3. This is a problem with both the visuals and gameplay. The people working on the game understand the issues, and they want to do right by the franchiseโ€™s fans.

@proper drift I got a computer case by happenstance that just so happens to fix that 3090 perfectly

Wanna hear something fucked up and hilarious? Cadillac's latest commercial for their luxury trucks features a song that in one line actually says Trump fucks his kids.

@austere lance so basically they're having to remake it and it's potentially gonna be like ME2/ME3, sacrificing preservation for "better" playability

#

Not sure what I think of that, but then, my attempts at playing the series have been more for the narrative than the gameplay

austere lance
#

ME2 is widely regarded as having the best story and characters tho, plus it has more modern gameplay

#

So it didn't sacrifice anything

cinder vessel
#

I'm saying an updated version of ME1 would possibly sacrifice parts of itself

#

Obviously preservation isn't the strict aim of their project, so it's less of an issue for them. If narrative & such stay intact I suspect they're willing to play more fast & loose with gameplay

austere lance
#

It's just a fancy remaster, I highly doubt it'll change characters or story, just combat

cinder vessel
#

Right...So like I said

austere lance
#

Fixing combat is bad........?

cinder vessel
#

Yes, if the intent is preservation

#

Think about if MGS1-4 were brought back with MGSV's gameplay or something

austere lance
#

That's a bit more of a time leap, lol. Bringing ME1's combat up to par with 2 and 3 isn't remotely similar

cinder vessel
#

Point being though, that it does alter the experience and obscures the improvements from one to the next. Like I said tho, I'm not sure what I think of it, but I do think in a weird way it might be fun if they retained the classic gameplay in some fashion for comparison's sake.

proper drift
cinder vessel
#

Something in the vein of how the MCC lets one revert visuals or some such would be interesting

#

Empyrion, yeah?

Yes.

Welcome to Dayz. We designed this game based on an engine that can create maps well, but sucks balls when it comes to collisions and AI pathing.

cinder vessel

have you checked out Stationeers, I think it's called?

silver sparrow

doesn't ring a bell

Looking at it rn

I love the description lol

Weirdly detail focused colony building thing

"It's very sciencey"

"It's.....it's...it's hard. Don't expect to have fun"

silver sparrow
#

excellent

#

btw astroneer is on sale on ps4 but i dunno

cinder vessel
#

I'm pretty sure the whole game is just focused on building a space structure that won't kill you by leaking air or catching fire

dry copper
#

Kerbal Space Program meets actual rocket science.

cinder vessel
#

Astroneer is pretty chill but dunno about its console ports

wet warren

The controls for the game on console are...weird

It takes a bit to get used to

i feel like leon is lowkey trying to get me to buy a pc

They expensive and finicky

i'm just all over the place in what i play games on

And somehow i manage to be lazy af and not play my console stuff much, no good reason why really

#

I'll play on pretty much anything haha

cinder vessel
#

well, there's a stupid reason why atm, i have a VCR & DVD recorder sat in front of my consoles at the moment where I've been procrastinating converting some VHS cassettes to digital because that means letting them play all the way through while recording them buuut

austere lance
#

The Darkness remake when

cinder vessel
#

that is a stupid me reason

#

I should really just fucking get that shit converted so I can set that hardware aside

wet warren
#

That would be good

cinder vessel
#

What sucks though is if there's a hiccup in the tape...All that shit must be redone kinda

Although giving it some thought I might be able to ffwd & splice in the uninterrupted clips

@austere lance the song is garbage, his voice is autotuned to the point where itโ€™s unrecognizable and the song itself is mixed so badly that the music overpowers the vocal track.

and I've reported it before
@dry copper I didn't realize you had reported me nor had anyone in the group reached out to me directly to discuss this. I apologize if the copyrighted video bothers you.

#

just please don't report any of the full songs folks post ๐Ÿ™‚ I enjoy them!

#

Like... 5 days late to response. I had to dig a bit there.

#

Well I received an official warning that said I had been warned multiple times (news to me) so here we are!

coarse swift
#

This is about the Prometheus vid, right?

spiral shell

Yes, the 2012 blockbuster sci-fi hit

That has been on YT for nearly a year, in full 4k HD.

In full 4k HD?

on my 4k monitor it looks great!

MY precise reaction reading my official warning for linking copyrighted material in this channel.

I'm just erked they said I was warned "multiple times" - that did not happen. From anyone lol

Feel free to take that up with a mod.

You asked me questions and I answered them. I have sent a message to the mod who gave me the warning. I apologized to the guy that reported me.

I know I specifically asked you to not post it anymore.

IF you did you didn't @ me I think or send me a DM?

full pivot

I did @ you.

spiral shell
#

I searched looking for one

#

Ah, well I must have missed it for sure.

#

Simply can't find it but I might have linked it and went AFK

full pivot
#

If you still have an issue you can also talk to an admin about it as well

spiral shell
#

I'm fine I just didn't know the rules regarding copyright infringement on this server nor did I receive any messages. Perhaps an @ did occur, but obviously I was caught flat footed. Odd because I'm very accessible and active.

#

I sent a note to Star to gather the details on the "multiple warnings." I'm very concerned that I violated a rule and somehow ignored the admins/mods multiple times.

#

Apologies team! I'll do better next time!

full pivot
#

I only know about mine I assumed he had also said something so its a bit of fault on both ends; next time ill just dm about ongoing issues.

worse things have happened to way better people - I appreciate you and the work ya do keeping us miscreants in line!

if it makes the person reporting feel any better, I've actually had the chance to meet Ridley Scott and I'm about the biggest fan girl on the planet.

he was very eloquent in his speech - very precise in discussion

#

Hope you asked him how he's planning to derail the origins of the Xenomorph again in the next movie
@coarse swift you know the xenmorphs are totally going to be ruined in the next film, it's basically going to be david versus engineers I think

#

My opinion: David is the real villainy here and Ridley Scott is changing the movie he made in 1979 to reflect a deeper sci-fi fantasy script. Scott doesn't care that you liked the universe he made and James Cameron really brought to life. Scott cares about the world he is building post-xenomorph. And because everything is backwards he is making the prequels in his own post-Aliens mindset.

As far as covenant goes I did like the little nod to the two original androids by making the two Davids sound like Ash and Bishop respectively

Letโ€™s say that youโ€™re playing a permadeath survival game. And this game has plants that you harvest for food. However, after a while thereโ€™s a chance a plant will become diseased, and if itโ€™s not caught early, it will spread to other plants, and the plant will stop producing food, and when dig up it will just be destroyed. And letโ€™s say that the only way to tell if a plant will become diseased is that your character will say something suggesting itโ€™s sick. And thereโ€™s also a finite amount of berry bushes to plant. Disease can also happen off screen. Also, plants are non renewable, and your character will only say that itโ€™s diseased if you harvest it within a week before it gets diseased, even though plants take over a week to grow. Once it becomes diseased itโ€™s gone forever. This is also a multiplayer game where you could have up to 8 mouths to feed, and berries are essential to make good or decent food, since your only other option would be eating raw meat, which is not a good food at all. What do you think of this mechanic?

tame coral
#

still wrong chat

frank sierra

It is?

#

Which chat then?

tame coral
frank sierra
#

What?

#

What does this have to do with no mans sky?

tame coral
#

arent you suggesting a mechanic???

frank sierra
#

No

#

Iโ€™m asking what people think of a mechanic in a game unrelated to NMS

tame coral
#

I see

#

you said permadeath and my mind jumped to nms

#

my bad

#

it seems like an alright mechanic

#

tbh it would seem a tad bit annoying

cinder vessel
#

Forager Simulator Deluxe

frank sierra
#

Even if not returning to base could mean all your berry bushes are gone forever, and youโ€™re not getting any more, ever?

#

And then youโ€™re screwed when it comes to food

cinder vessel
#

Non-renewable, finite, takes a week to grow, somehow multiplayer, sounds like a nightmare

frank sierra
#

Welcome to Dont Starve Together

#

Thatโ€™s why I always turn it off

#

But it sucks when your plants all die because disease is on by default and you forgot to turn it off

cinder vessel
#

Oh, it's not realtime then? That makes a difference

#

And as I recall you can cook meat, so raw meat isn't your only other option

frank sierra
#

Yes,

#

But meatballs use berries as filler

#

And theyโ€™re the most efficient food

cinder vessel
#

You don't have to play everything hyper-efficiently

#

If you can keep going with simpler foods, it's all good

dry copper

@frank sierra What game is this?

frank sierra

Donโ€™t starve together

tame coral

Deerclops comes in the first winter on day 31

it can't destroy your cooking utensils, your chests, your walls, your means of defences your hopes or dreams.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps

Both Ori games are so good ๐Ÿ’•

@charred badge Sorry. I was working on the ship and didn't see your message. Yes, Empyrion Galactic Survival.

Will of the Wisps is the only game I've died 15x in 3 minutes in then two hours later cried like a bitch during a sad cutscene ๐Ÿ˜ญ

dry copper
#

Did you cry watching the movie Wall-E? Be honest.

austere lance
#

Nope

#

Ori and the Will of the Wisps hits a whole different level of sad at least twice in the story

#

It's so fucking good tho, the gameplay is absolutely A+ and responsive af. It's damn good

#

Also, the art is beautiful

#

Like god damn

dry copper
#

Even Gameranx loves it.

#

I swear by their reviews.

#

Might just be Jake Baldino

#

I've gotten used to his reviews

austere lance
#

@dry copper Yeah there's a reason everyone on the damn planet with half a brain loves Ori, lol

#

Also, try to avoid watching too much gameplay. Ori and the Will of the Wisps is a helluva experience

dry copper
#

looks beautiful

austere lance
#

Ngl I skipped the first game after a couple hours cuz it got more hard than fun and had really odd gameplay design choices I wasn't a fan of, Ori and the Will of the Wisps doesn't really require you play the first one tho

Still not the worst side boss tho

That's defo the best outfit

@dry copper Did you like the boss, lol?

dry copper
#

She was kind of a bitch

austere lance
#

There's some wacky side bosses

dry copper
#

Her second appearance was the worst. She flies and does drop downs on me....I wonder if I'd not upgraded my flight powers if she'd been weaker

austere lance
#

No she does that anyway

dry copper
#

She fires tracking missile things that I don't even have.

austere lance
#

Yep

dry copper
#

I did notice something interesting in that area. If you match the pendulums on both sides of the tables, the entire room quakes

#

I didn't notice anything beyond that from em

austere lance
#

You uh, should boost your luck in the roulette room and give it a roll

dry copper
#

No idea what a roulette room is.

austere lance
#

You'll need a lot of boosting

#

It's a room close to the mirror one, iirc. Luck and Probability?

#

Fun room, has an interesting reward

#

The game has weird shit like that everywhere ๐Ÿ˜†

dry copper
#

I expected more from the flight hover

#

I expected actual flight, not glorified hover

#

Once I'm up, I can't go up anymore, only down...lol

austere lance
#

I recommend mastering the hover before going near a certain nautical device, LMAO

dry copper
#

Why is it from the very start of the game I keep hearing these random spikes in atmospheric screeching...Like scraping glass when in certain areas.

austere lance
#

Probably angery things

dry copper
#

I see no indicators in the game of something, but the sound is localized

#

It sounds like a shimmer

#

Like that star in my head

#

I forget its name already

austere lance
#

Did you beat the game?

dry copper
#

No

#

Guiding Star wtf ever its name is

#

Any time it indicates to me a control point to take, the same shimmer sound triggers

#

I have been hearing the trigger in random areas for no apparent reason

I think that's just ambience tbh

I don't know?

I got 2 points to spend from it.

Are they guarding it?

I thought that's where they said not to go

Fuck if I know, when I went down there I had to go through a safe-ish room with a lab and guards

dry copper

Yeah I found it...Holy shit I hate this area. Monsters shoot dozens of spores at you that follow you in a narrow line

So you gotta dodge at the last second or get behind something

Some of these side missions are designed in such a way that they can be repeatable indefinitely and you wouldn't even realize it until you got sick of doing them

#

Which is both brilliant and annoying

tame coral
#

Control?

dry copper
#

Yeah

#

In terms of games that give you larger than life abilities, I think this game has one of the best executions I've ever seen...and that includes each and every single super hero game on the market

#

You're not too powerful but powerful enough.

#

It rewards careful planning and quick thinking and punishes you so hard if you wait too long

#

enemies flank you faster than you can say the word flank

#

Only thing I hate about how the enemies operate is that they are pulling the old Doom trick

#

spawning enemies behind you...

#

fucking annoying

#

Who ever they got designing their levels they need to give a raise.

the space cops got very mad at me for linking a video in this channel that was over a year old and free on YT. I'd hope that same person was equally concerned about copyrighted songs linked here. I'll be taking a pretty aggressive stance against this as I now know "after no warnings" that copyright material has no place here. @dry copper agrees here.

All that said, I'm about to move on from Prometheus and obsess over Alien Covenant!

I promise everyone including @dry copper that I will not link any copyrighted material in this channel. Ever. And I hope we are all very well guarded against the errors I made.

#

All that said, I don't like Alien Covenant but here we are!

#

I feel like that movie was basically Scott feeling pressure to make an real alien film

#

Still for someone completely clueless, I guess I'm doing fine.

#

we haven't lost anyone yet, apart from johnson to his insanity a couple of times. Green is a recruited prisoner, hancock and hess were rescued via caravan stuff, and Priscilla just showed up.

#

Still no clue how to do a lot of shit. Set up this orbital connection thingy, which said I should be able to connect orbital traders.

#

Only, that doesn't appear to be the case, I can only contact other factions, and that doesn't seem very helpful.

#

Also I got a dude in minor pain, like, fucking all the time, he's been in that pain for almost a year, and I have no clue on how to fucking treat that.

#

So ye. Baby steps.

Very minor, but there are. ๐Ÿ˜„

#

But ye, I was playing it for the last like, fucking hell, 8 hours?

#

started 6pm local, now it's 2am.

#

It does zucc you in. Taking care of these auto destructive morons, and fight against this horrible planet.

cinder vessel
#

tbh i wish there was something like that but in 3D

winter yew
#

ehh fuck graphics tbh, as long as they're readable, they're great.

#

One of my dudes got his toes chopped off when a lunatic with a knife jumped him during a firefight. ๐Ÿ˜„

#

Good luck getting that in 3D environment.

#

Like the biggest issue with a lot of survival/building games is you end up grinding & building these empty structures where nothing happens, but they look pretty cool.

Minimize the grind by tasking other folks to do the gathering & building, then get the fun of watching however they nearly obliterate the place

austere lance
#

I just want Riftbreaker ๐Ÿ˜”

#

If it doesn't suck

winter yew
#

Still not at the stage of "minimizing grind" personally.

cinder vessel
#

Well, what I meant more was just that I want the base management-ish stuff, but where I get to appreciate the results of my design visually more.

winter yew
#

more on "oh jesus oh fuck, will this nightmare end" stage still.

#

Like seriously there's always some shit going on.

#

Heatwave. +40C inside buildings.

cinder vessel
#

And also when I say minimize the grind I mean compared to having to individually gather all the shit yourself as you do in survival games

winter yew
#

all of my food rations and frozen meat became unfrozen and went to shit.

#

Or how about an eclipse, rendering your solar panels useless. ๐Ÿ˜„

cinder vessel
#

What sucks is just about every attempt I've seen at someone translating the Dwarf Fortress-esque stuff to 3D has resulted in the studios never finishing or just shipping off a kind of whatever thing

winter yew
#

Quite recently one of my wires overloaded and went fucking nuclear.

#

entire base went up in flames, had to reload.

cinder vessel
#

Like Castle Story was kinda sorta going in this direction, but they were in Early Access forever and finally just said fuckit and shipped whatever they had done I think.

winter yew
#

But we're learning. For example It went next to my storage area, it was a big, very flammable, wooden building.

#

So? Let's replace wooden flooring with concrete.

#

It's storage, so it doesn't matter how it looks.

cinder vessel
#

Stonehearth was another like this, but it at least seemed to ship in a better state

winter yew
#

These psychos really do care about how shit looks. ๐Ÿ˜„

#

And ye, stonehearth I think it was quite critically acclaimed

#

had some famous dudes behind it

#

and then it shat itself like most early access games.

#

Timber and Stone was the game I was following.

#

Basically the same premise, but also the same problem. Abandonment.

#

Still, neither of those was nearly as deep as DF

#

fuck, Rimworld's pretty deep, and it's not nearly as deep as DF

cinder vessel
#

Yeah, I've seen lots of good stuff about Rimworld, it's just never really captured my interest for whatever reason

#

That's apparently someone's ridiculous build from Stonehearth

winter yew
#

Well it is voxel based.

#

And pretty sure in addition to pre made structures and blueprints you could also design your stuff.

#

Sure is a big city tho, gotta say. Wonder how's the FPS. ๐Ÿ˜„

cinder vessel
#

Yeah, that was what drew me to Stonehearth to begin with, was the design your own structures idea

#

Thing I like the most about Minecraft is the obvious: building. Thing I dislike most is: manually gathering & building. lol

#

That's why the best of both worlds to me would be more of a basebuilder of directing folks to gather & build your designs for you

#

Which is where I see a fair bit of the appeal of stuff like Rimworld/Prison Architect/Dwarf Fortress, but that the designs aren't as easy to show off is bit of a bummer

#

@austere lance ๐Ÿ˜ต that game looks...very visually busy

Apparently it has difficulties, so hopefully Easy won't be too grindy

You don't know pain til a young person tells you Knights of the Old Republic gameplay is old and bad ๐Ÿ˜ญ

cinder vessel
#

lol

#

i mean have you played it at any point recently

#

it probably hasn't aged well in a number of ways

austere lance
#

I'm in the middle of a KotOR playthrough, lol

#

Honestly besides obvious things like graphics (it came out in 2003) it hasn't really aged. Combat is still damn good, it's proper RPG combat where the game is doing impossibly fast dice rolls behind the scenes to determine whether your stuff works or not. There's games today that still do it

cinder vessel
#

I keep meaning to play it but star wars makes me ๐Ÿ˜ด

austere lance
#

Honestly I think it's one of the few Star Wars things you'd enjoy, lol. It's Old Republic era, so Jedi aren't annoyingly high and mighty and Sith are badass and wreck shit. Plus lightsabers aren't OP, everyone has stuff like Vibroblades so they can dick anyone who pulls a damn saber ๐Ÿคฃ

#

Idk, it just feels more grounded. Shows a lot more of the universe too, not just the shiny bits

#

Plus the characters are ๐Ÿ‘Œ

@cinder vessel Fair warning: multiplayer is locked till you get past the extended tutorial that is chapter 1

#

And even then, you're still limited until you beat the game.

@coarse swift ...why would i play multiplayer?

In the event you had a buddy that wants to build with you

I haven't touched the multiplayer myself.

How the hell do you VR Kotor

cinder vessel
#

I'd have to imagine it may be just like...Playing it on a virtual big screen or something, 'cause otherwise ๐Ÿคข

#

Which, honestly, I don't really get that approach to playing older games, but there's an audience of some sort for it

#

Like did you know that there's a Sega Collection of their older games on PS4 with PSVR support?

#

What that looks like...Hell if I know, lol

ooh I missed this when it premiered

#

@spiral shell Yes, that Cardi B song is copyrighted and that copyright license is included in the video, which is permissible under copyright law for the copyright owner to distribute their own content (in this case on Youtube). If you're not aware, you can check the "show more" drop down list to verify copyright ownership information of the video and music. Youtube's algorithm picked up the music copyright on the stolen movie you posted, but the distribution copyright is nowhere to be seen.

#

For the record, 20th Century Fox owns the distribution rights to the stolen movie you kept posting.

#

Whether you agree with youtube not taking it down yet or not is irrelevant.

crisp sparrow
#

man how is this still going on

dry copper
#

I'm not the one pinging me every time I want to comment on the shit I posted twice that was pulled twice.

crisp sparrow
#

lmao

dry copper
#

Personally, I find it kind of funny. The way they comment, you'd think I hated all videos that didn't have strict copyright management control on them and that couldn't be further from the truth. I really don't give a shiiiit about 90% of the copyright grey crap on youtube. Entire movies are where I draw the line.

You have to give them some credit for trying to fix their shit, giving players more customization options in Andromeda - Even if they shit the bed for all the good it did.

I finished the game "Control", and for once, I don't feel like I lost out on anything in finishing the story and then just uninstalling. It wasn't particularly in-depth and most of the fun was in the journey from start to finish, which is rare. I often find the journey is either too long or too short for my play style and will generally feel discouraged purchasing a game if it's too short. This game was shorter than I'm used to, but it was genuinely fun. The environments were beautiful. There were moments of absolute incredulity. There was a genuine experience to be remembered. Something to write about. Control is a rare gem that is structurally designed with a razors edge focus on marrying design concepts and game-play mechanics in a loose narrative such that, you can get what you want out of it no matter what kind of player you are.

cont from #nms-questions if anyone has followed: but!! I do get not wanting to grind. I do appreciate that modern games have moved away from the grinding aspect.
