Judging by how many times they delayed the game with it still releasing in this condition I'd say summer at the earliest, LMAO
glass plinth
Eh
The issue too is the directors
Clearly some big time bullshit is going on
The devs wanted to delay
some directors did
Shareholders did NOT
head directors did not
So the entire team is hobbled.
Its not like the game is bad , its just incomplete and if they finish all of it to the best standards we can see at times, itll be perfectly exceptable.
I mean going by what I can glean, they were telling the shareholders the game was being delayed to achieve a high quality release, rather then just a passable one. Then saying it was good and asking for more money to be even better
When in reality, it was a blatant lie to get money just to get it passable
That kind of lying is.. very dangerous

I've found Fallout 76 alright, but I have no illusions that the game is a complete microtransactional circle jerk
Whales dominate Fallout and they always will as long as they keep supporting the whales.
It's not surprising, though. There aren't very many diverse MMO...even historically
You got fantasy western and fantasy eastern.
My favorite MMO was a little title called Neocron

Eh, I say go for it.
Scalping undermines both distributor and consumer alike.
Called it a while back: scalpers are just shooting themselves in the foot by targeting a larger product base than stuff like shoes and accessories.
sleek cloud
then there's those selling photos of a PS5 or something on Ebay for 100's
coarse swift
Best law that could happen is enforcing that a resale of a product can't happen for more than the current MSRP
At least, when it comes to non-business related stuff
That solves nothing. Some websites already put that into practice with either auditing for same card or household, but we've seen that most of it still goes through.
Bots can be developed that serve a similar function the current ones do: track down a PS5 or Series X at above the asking price of a normal website
Any CEH could do that quickly
The gaming industry isn't a priority amongst lawmakers, at least especially in these times.
dry copper
@coarse swift Tell that to the frontier foundation.
Oh...Lawmakers
You mean like congress
I was thinking lobbies.
coarse swift
Congress, parliament, whatever suits your fancy.
mortal wave
lawmakers, not law-payer-forers

I can't see that changing any time soon. Congress are pretty detached from the gaming community. Even watching AOC play games was awkward.

I want to say it doesn't matter, but in-so-far as their capacity to relate to their constituents on the gravity and value of consumer rights where gaming is concerned, I'd worry about their ability to legislate if they have no interest.

Does US use UK case law for gaming?
I know it uses Canadian.

US and Canada share case law where court arguments are being made.
Basically because we're so similar that some rare cases see one jurisdiction that never see another so we're like...
How did they do it
mortal wave
lul @ the usa passing consumer-protecting legislation

In Quebec Canada, there's a law against scalping. Basically you can't scalp a ticket for more than the tickets face value...but that doesn't necessarily apply to other things

im surprised the treasury isnt printing amazon scrip

still boggles my mind people are desperate for a PS5 that has no good exclusives and lacks rereleases too
if everyone ignored it the scalping would have backfired

paying an extra 200 bucks to get something now isnt that big a deal

dry copper
I understand the logic of scalping. I disagree with the principle. It is exploitation by design.
To what degree it is exploitative really should not depend on how much the value added return is.
mortal wave
Sony's sales are exactly the same >_>
they sold all of them
and it was a record number of launch units
Sony sells consoles to walmart, not billy down the street
dry copper
When we're talking about hurting sales, we're not talking about units.
Sales are more than units.
Momentum is dead if they're all in storage.
mortal wave
sure but Sony's sales are exactly the same, regardless of who bought them
dry copper
That's not true. Sony has to consider more than the money they get for the here and now
They have futures to consider
Sales momentum requires people to be using their hardware
Who said sony is blamed?
I think all that's being said in-so-far as Sony is concerned is, buying their products and shelving them hurts the momentum of their sales projections by both artificially inflating their sales and deflating their promotional capacity
Sony now has to run a second campaign when they have supply to keep up momentum
In many cases, the first launch of a new console acts as a campaign in itself
Pushing sales
One person promotes the machine to two people who then buy and promote, ad naseum
...and it's great they sold all their units.
They manufactured them only barely over cost. So they got their money back.

Fact: Redundant is an adjective for superfluous. Its origin stems from the Latin "redundare" which was combined with the English "redound" to make "redundant" in the late 16th century. Of the three words that mean the same thing, redundant is the longest. It is quite literally unnecessary.
Therefore: Redundant is redundant.

Lol yeah, this game I def prefer it co-op. Cuz I get scurred! Lmao Also, I mentioned it cuz there aren't that many online co-op options (at least on Xbox)

all the Metro games are worth getting if you can, one of my favourite game series out there

Yeah
It looks good
Hrmm, i restarted Cyberpunk again, I must say, the replayability is better then I expected.
sleek cloud
but do play them in order

Imma download the Evil Within 2 demo and try it out, if it's gud I'll probably get it cuz it's on sale

hrmm
stranded deep will be free zoon
lll have to grab that with my time in portia
already own jurassic park though
daring spear
I wish I had bought Subnautica to own from gamepass instead of buying stranded deep
austere lance
Stranded Deep is meh
sleek cloud
i'm tempted to get Subnautica and play it in VR
glass plinth
I would recommend take it easy on vr in the deep water
fervent fog
You mean this?
mortal wave
yeah but wouldnt the vr set explode in the bathtub
glass plinth
I geniunely had more good jump scares in that game then I expected.
sleek cloud
yes aeron

The underwater setting is superb at bringing out your natural terror

Sand Sharks forme

i have watched people play it and it looks very jump scary

I really wanna try it in VR but I would need VR first

i have watched people play it and it looks very jump scary
Only if you're dumb/brave and go into scary areas
glass plinth
Especially when your out of air, animals coming after you and in your gutt, you know your fucked
daring spear
Like the areas tied to the story?
glass plinth
Well any of the deep caves
sleek cloud
VR is a hard one to recommend only because people can suffer from motion sickness from them but if not it's well worth it
fervent fog
Only if you're dumb/brave and go into scary areas <a:gandalf:410923319223910411>
Blood Kelp Zone is necessary for progress, you have no choice lol

haha i know right, the deeper you go the worse it seems to get
daring spear
fervent fog
visually the scariest gotta be the mushroom cave and the blood kelp zone. Sounds, any Reaper territory and the lost river.
daring spear
I survived the pictured situation. Barely
fervent fog
there's some simple pathing to generally avoid jumpscares from the bigger boys. Generally, staying on the surface on the way to the aurora should be safe, for example.
snow crest
Tbh you could complete the game and not explore most of the playable area
fervent fog
I've been to the aurora several times in 3 different playthroughs and never got assaulted by a reaper when doing that. Chances of it happening should be small.
snow crest
He pretty much only bothers you if you go for the exhausts or swim around near the side scrounging parts for too long
fervent fog
Tbh you could complete the game and not explore most of the playable area
Depth Module Requirements might be an issue. Prawn and Cyclops fragments too.
sleek cloud
is Subnautica procedural generated to some degree?
snow crest
Honestly i streamed why whole playthrough and don't remember really searching for most things
fervent fog
map is the same, resources should spawn on the same spot iirc
sleek cloud
ah ok
glass plinth
It also ends
fervent fog
i miss editing the sand.
glass plinth
as far as survival games go, the fact it has a distinct end is so cool

The only random thing is what parts you find in wrecks

"He". You're assuming there's only one? ๐

The only random thing is what parts you find in wrecks
Yee
daring spear
And thats only somewhat random
glass plinth
Yeah, the wrecks are a tiny bit random
snow crest
"He". You're assuming there's only one? ๐
Damn, guess i was just very lucky. He did it my seamoth tho when i taunted him
fervent fog
the fragments in the wrecks or scattered around are, at least.
glass plinth
I will rank the game as among the best survivals Ive played
sleek cloud
wasn't it planned to be procedural? unless i'm thinking of something different
snow crest
Some of the items are procedural iirc
fervent fog
I will rank the game as among the best survivals Ive played
not really a very replayable game in my book, but I agree.
daring spear
There are 25 reapers in the game
austere lance
I'm not a huge fan of survival games but Grounded and Subnautica are definitely at the top of my list
daring spear
And THREE around the aurora
snow crest
Three? Damn
glass plinth
I want to try grounded
snow crest
Im suprised i ever only got attacked once
glass plinth
How is it
fervent fog
And THREE around the aurora
wait, where are the +-21 others then? ONLY 3? XD
sleek cloud
Grounded is on sale
daring spear
They're elsewhere
fervent fog
I know 1 is on one of the islands, and seemingly 3 around the aurora
are the other 21 just randomly scattered around the map and I just took a perfectly save route to all the areas all the time?
daring spear
Some are about 2000m from the aurora
sleek cloud
no it isn't nevermind, was looking at Green Hell
snow crest
The one time i remember freaking out was when i went to the railgun island at night and a reaper just jumped out when i was landing on shore
daring spear
Yeah they're in places around in deep water. Just scattered basically but it isn't random
And they aren't all adults
glass plinth
Ill grab it Soul
fervent fog
OH
glass plinth
I love survival games
fervent fog
Oh*
snow crest
The ones near Aurora are baby ones right?
fervent fog
Just remembered one I heard briefly somewhere around the treader path
austere lance
They just added the Pond Update in Grounded too, so now there's a whole water system to mess with. And very VERY ugly creatures in the water ๐ญ

The first one I encountered was tiny. It almost got me when I fot out of my seamoth. And I was like "if that's all the reapers are then thats not bad at all"

Had the same experience the the little bugger grabbed my seamoth like a chew toy so i hit him with a knife a few times and left
daring spear
Haha
Yeah there's ones in a few different stages of growth
There's people who have killed all of them too
snow crest
I did that at the end of my playthrough... it took forever with the little toothpick of a knife
I took revenge for BoB1

Any of you familiar with a game called Kingom under Fire? Specifically the heroes and crusaders installments?

THat review of Cyberpunk was to delibrately inciteful
Mind you thats only because I dont have the bugs
OK except the fricking music
LOl I had battle music that just wouldnt go away
sleek cloud
sometimes i've found an NPC could be aggro'ing you from some distance or from above or below. I also had it where a headless npc was still shouting ๐
glass plinth
Axcept the end
Yeah, i havent had those issues
Pathing is borked
Ill give it that
Totally ship compared to what it couldbe
Sigh, i hate this keyboard
Im done having to redo every word I type
sleek cloud
don't worry, same here partly because i've been up since 4.30am ๐
glass plinth
I figured out taking a clock out of my bedroom is making me wake earlier
My internal clock just seems to be syncing happily to sunrise
Which is good
Not stressing about when to wake up, ironically helped me
sleek cloud
i had to for work but i'm off now for 6 days unless i get called in for a bit tomorrow night
dry copper
I don't mind the bugs. I expect them to be fixed and I wish they didn't exist, but they won't stop me from playing
glass plinth
The main story is fucking awesome
I love the spink people have
You can sympathize with them

Man, what a year fr games

We finally got a good nms diversity update!
dry copper
but that's for serious
glass plinth
Haha
I know thus I brought out how good a year it was for games
It was a amazing year for games
sleek cloud
yeah and it certainly was diverse, didn't expect so much of it tbh
dry copper
shrug I don't know about gaming. This year has been a crazy mess of school for me.
One of the better school years
I met some nice folks.
glass plinth
I had one of those years I will never forget
a year in a apartment I loved.
So much good
from work to just life in general
sleek cloud
its been a very strange year that';s for sure
glass plinth
Then moved to a even better place
dry copper
This is the first year I paid someone else to do my yard work

That was nice.

Yard work is mildly zen

dry copper
We have a few people who go up and down the street regularly in the summer with a gas can and a lawn mower
glass plinth
Ive done yard work for over 15 years for the same family
Every saturday
Its my day out in the fresh air.
I do it more to relax then anything
One day I invited to help and never stopped coming lol
I think thats why the guy has me up, I just love it so much
sleek cloud
ye it's good to get out, get that vitamin d
dry copper
Every winter the neighborhood has a pseudo competition on who can shovel the neighbors first
The guy down the street works for a private contractor and has his own sidewalk plow...so he always wins
sleek cloud
nice to have that neighbourly spirit unlike most of them around here
dry copper
Even when other people shovel out, he goes over their work with a sidewalk plow
yeah it is nice. It's why I get weekly mail from local real estate agencies telling me there are people ACTIVELY looking to move into this neighborhood
Not just moving, but specifically this neighborhood
glass plinth
Hehe
Sounds like the property my dad lives on
Its so peaceful and out of the way, yet so close to town and people beg to buy it
hes been offered 4 times its worth
He will probably die there, happily

I bought a push snowblower that I like to take out in the winter and blow the snow around
dry copper
I use it to make a snowman pile for the kids in the neighborhood
glass plinth
I remember helping a friend make a bike ramp out of snow
It was so fun
A giant soft pile after the pile
you could jump and land in it for awhile
every few days, we would just redo it
this was the year I lived in washington
Alot of snow up north
dry copper
It looks like this Christmas is going to have no snow
glass plinth
Used to be anyways, the climates fully borked now. Some years it rains. It depressed soooo many folks
sleek cloud
don't think i've ever seen a white Christmas
dry copper
It's magical
sleek cloud
maybe a light sprinkle of snow once
dry copper
You step out on a christmas day, it's dead silent. The snow muffles all of the sounds.
It's not cold. There's no wind
It's just white....and silent
glass plinth
Sounds like north washington
10 feet of snow
Pure white silence
The only sound was a river, frozen under the snow nearby rumbling away
Or the sound of the Wolverine my uncle had living nearbye crunching around looking for rabbits
sleek cloud
sounds like a movie scene
glass plinth
Really is exactly like that
dry copper
There are moments when playing the game "The Long Dark", I am reminded of those great snow days

That is near where my uncle lives
a ranch a bit down the hill
Some years those trees used to be covered

Tencent just bought the company that owns Warframe
sleek cloud
only briefly played Warframe
glass plinth
and dozens of studios
they are basically making a super publisher monopoly
Tencent is also making a cross company facality to help cooperate between studios
Making making big games like cyberpunk WAY easier
I suspect tencent saw the writing on the wall and wanted to take advantage of being able to buy so much control to make more money
More leverage
Sorta terrible news and good news wrapped together
What pisses me off is, a chinese company treats some of its devs better then ones in europe and usa
thats fucked up
I know someone at a studio tencent owns, and his benefits are bonkers good
and he works less hours
sleek cloud
you'd think it would be opposite being China
glass plinth
yeah youd think
mortal wave
china in the geopolitical corporate sense and the human rights of its naturalized underclass sense are so astonishingly different though

I mean, official acquisition happened, but Leyou was already bid for a while ago

I swear. I'm listening to some classical beethoven and I'm hearing what might be the chief complaint in modern day music, but in classical...and that is, a painful addiction to repetition.
I used to be able to listen and just dig it, but now I find my brain picking apart notation.
Where critics might bitch about modern day musicians that rail on the same repeating lines over and over, it seems classical artists did the same thing
Look at Moonlight Sonata's 3rd movement, for instance
Love the song. Hate the repetition.
I'm trying to find that piece of classical music that captured lightning in a bottle...that one strike that lit the charge.
I think it might be Vivaldi - Summer might be close
mortal wave
yeah i mean the thing a lot o fpeople take for granted is that that period was saturated with bad music, but nobody talks about it a few hundred years later
whereas the high art of a generation outlives that generation
and then that time becomes overly saturated with all of the highlights
austere lance
The Evil Within 2 is weird so far
Honestly it feels like a modern version of Resident Evil 4
I mean that in a good way, lol. It's much MUCH nicer to play than RE 4
