[crisp sparrow]

cant believe they cant add pngs on time

damn misers!!

[winter yew]

I imagine developing 3 remaining fucking biomes could take a little more time, yes.

[crisp sparrow]

hey just in case you didnt know

the game is being developed by humans

just a heads up

👍🏿

[winter yew]

That do love to brag about their sales and not much else yes.

[crisp sparrow]

just to be clear I'm not whiteknighting for them I just think you're being a jerk

given with how the industry has been for a while

[winter yew]

Yes, clearly.

[crisp sparrow]

you should learn to cut some slack

[winter yew]

Hey I'm not the one acting all offended at some random dude poking some fun at some othe random dudes dev cycles.

[crisp sparrow]

poking fun?

sure buddy

its all in jest

jokingly getting annoyed I see my apologies

[winter yew]

I assume they for sure didn't expect their game to blow up as much as it did.

Plus waiting for this whole hearth update, like, we're all waiting for it.

Like, wondering what else can they introduce, cause tbh, the building system as was, was still rather complex.

Love this group photo we did. :D

[crisp sparrow]

I also assure you game development isnt as easy as adding assets and calling it a day even more so when we're STILL in the midst of a pandemic and the studio being super tiny of literally less than 6 people

[bronze wind]

i played all the current stuff with my brother and dropped it until it's done just so I don't burn myself out

[winter yew]

Think last time I checked it was 8, they're expanding at least.

[crisp sparrow]

mostly management and testing

[winter yew]

Or it was it Redbeet...

[crisp sparrow]

still the same two guys working on it and then they had to get a couple more for networking

[bronze wind]

hope they get a lot of support with all the funds from the game blowing up

they def need it, must be overwhelming for them

[winter yew]

found couple screens of our town.

[cinder vessel]

i think i'd enjoy valheim if i hadn't OD'd on vikings

[bronze wind]

yeah lots of viking stuff recently lol

[winter yew]

You'd enjoy it more for sure. Although valheim's easy to OD on in general.

[crisp sparrow]

thankfully its very barebones vikings because even I'm not a fan of it

[bronze wind]

tho leon im not sure if you actually would, its pretty heavily reliant on you building

[crisp sparrow]

cant really relate

[cinder vessel]

yeah, i've read/heard some stuff about the gathering being a bit tedious solo

[winter yew]

try extremely tedious.

[bronze wind]

the exploration aspect is on point but you are ultimately tethered to bases due to the progression system being entirely based on smelting new ores

[winter yew]

Main defence of it being "gear's permanent and can be fixed for free".

[bronze wind]

i love the free repairs

[crisp sparrow]

hope they never take that out

[bronze wind]

such an annoying thing from other games that I'm glad tehy didn't do

[crisp sparrow]

ore management is already tedious enough

[cinder vessel]

'cause like i do enjoy Astroneer, so that might tell ya i don't mind building that's well-integrated or built-in from the start, but also mmm

[winter yew]

God I hope they'll tweak the copper acquisition, fuck me it makes you wanna die

[bronze wind]

but they do have a lot of very arbitrary limitations thrown in for balance with no real explanation at all which I dislike

it's fine if I can't grow raspberries but don't let me grow carrots lol

[winter yew]

iron's fine, then silver's unbearable again, then black steel's again fine.

[bronze wind]

and then the infamous metal teleportation thing

[cinder vessel]

Astroneer might have my favorite build-feel besides Lego Worlds in a game, because it shares that toy-like feel of snapping bits & bobs together

[bronze wind]

i love astroneers design and building but it always felt so tedious to me so I could never get far

[winter yew]

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

Speaking of astroneer, I love this vid.

[bronze wind]

like it's supposed to be pretty chill but having to deal with placing tethers everywhere and hoping they don't fall over and break the chain when they're on an incline isn't very chill lol

[cinder vessel]

i think my biggest rough spot with Astroneer was more not having a clear idea what some of the different tech would do

[crisp sparrow]

what I dont understand is how valheim is unusually resource intensive even if you turn off the heavy processing stuff like volumetrics

can barely get 30fps

[thorn dawn]

Early Access

[crisp sparrow]

well true but still

[bronze wind]

when was the last time you played?

[winter yew]

and that's again one of the more popular defences.

[crisp sparrow]

today

tried the new updoot

[bronze wind]

ok gotcha

[crisp sparrow]

they changed the engine

[bronze wind]

i know they changed some terrain stuff but that really only applies if you have a lot of edits

[crisp sparrow]

I'm talking new game no edits

[bronze wind]

yeah just wanted to make sure lol

[cinder vessel]

is it full voxel-based?

[crisp sparrow]

though now I could spam some edits and it wont slow my game down that much

[winter yew]

This town from screens right? game has some obvious memory leakage problems

you can sit in it for about half an hour, and your fps tanks to like, 14.

[crisp sparrow]

but the campfires/smelters drop my fps real hard

[bronze wind]

not sure leon, haven't really looked into it

[thorn dawn]

optimisation is usually one of the last development steps unless the game is completely broken - it's hard to know early in development what will actually help performance

[crisp sparrow]

I think it has to do with the smoke particles

[cinder vessel]

i wonder if it's to do with the lighting & smoke...

[winter yew]

probably simulation as well.

[cinder vessel]

Or do the smelters not emit light?

[crisp sparrow]

yeah that's my guess too

smelters do emit light and smoke

[thorn dawn]

Partical effects are always computationally expensive

[bronze wind]

i love when the world saves and the entire game freezes for 0.5 seconds 😔

[winter yew]

as every building gets the "home" status right, but it needs to be you know, a home, with a roof, furniture

[bronze wind]

they added a "fix" in the recent patch which was adding a 30 sec heads up lmao

[winter yew]

plus a working heat source, campfire, hearth, what have you

plus smoke's its own simulation as well

[cinder vessel]

hey in 30 sec we're gonna freeze ya for 0.5 for world save, geeettt reeeaadddyyy!

[crisp sparrow]

yeah seems like a stopgap solution

[winter yew]

aka you can't just roof out your heat source, need to build a chimney, etc

[bronze wind]

yeahh some of the building stuff can be a bit annoying, when I first tried the game I dropped it like immediately because it was really annoying to just like, sleep lol

[thorn dawn]

Sounds like it's running single threaded tbh

[cinder vessel]

to sleep u must do xyz

[bronze wind]

well thatch roof allows smoke to pass thru, you just need to have high enough ceilings

[cinder vessel]

exhaust urself, build a roof, no grass, make dirtfloor, make bed, uhh

[bronze wind]

leon it's worse than that lol

[crisp sparrow]

I actually think that the whole house setup is fun in a way because you cant just slap a bed and sleep with no issues

[cinder vessel]

(i have no idea if that's what's involved btw just making fun)

[bronze wind]

yeah i mean it makes sense for balance since repair tables are so strong

[winter yew]

Ah maybe, we didn't really play with REALLY tall structures, so normal 1 story buildings if you didn't have a chimney, get used to carbon emissions.

[bronze wind]

but that's sorta what I was talking about before, kinda annoying mechanics built around their idea of balance

[winter yew]

kinda amazing tbh, for them to think of that.

for smoke to gather under the roof, eventually suffocate the fire (and you).

[bronze wind]

leon none of the craftable tables work unless they have a roof overhead, additionally to sleep you need a bed crafted under a roof with a heat source crafted within a certain radius of the bed

[crisp sparrow]

yet they still didnt make it too hardcore, we still have portals and gravestones

I would have never played if it didnt have a gravestone

[bronze wind]

yeah once i got past the weird choices I really enjoyed it

lol same

[winter yew]

And it's not dark souls gravestones either.

So that's always a plus

[bronze wind]

yeah they're persistent which is great

can die a few times and still get the inventory of loot

the de-leveling feels a bit harsh but it never actually ruined any of my playtime

[cinder vessel]

whee

[crisp sparrow]

that whole system feels like a placeholder lol

like they have something more interesting in mind but they just gave us this for the time being

[bronze wind]

which one, the building or the de-leveling?

[crisp sparrow]

The levelling system in general

[bronze wind]

I like the skill levelling but the penalty for death hurts lol

Mostly at higher levels

[crisp sparrow]

The base building UI is also gonna change too for sure, like there's no reason to have a specific 45°and 60° for the beams when you can just add another axis of rotation like NMS and maybe other games

@full pivot, are you into arcade puzzle games, e.g. Tetris?

[dry copper]

@cinder vesselAre you a fan of the challenging games of the tetris variety?

Has anyone heard of or played Empyrion Galactic Survival ? If you have how do you think it compares to No Man's Sky?

[raven frost]

I played it for like 30 minutes then refunded it, it's a completely different kind of game than what NMS is

From the last album he released with former Black Sabbath members

I am not going to compliment that Element hungry ass creature of destruction

[winter yew]

Doesn’t officially release until the 21st but this a new band formed by the former guitar player of a band I used to post about here frequently over the years (9ELECTRIC), and he went for a slightly different approach with Reddstar, now with a sound that’s seemingly inspired by the likes of Rage Against The Machine https://youtu.be/YIL8bCXBTSk

[stuck zephyr]

@raven frost Thanks.

[austere lance]

I wonder what it would take to convince Rockstar to port RDR 1 to pc, lol

[cinder vessel]

a business model that lets them squeeze folks for more money, so probably Red Dead Online 2 but for 1

[austere lance]

But 1 already had free roam multiplayer, lol

It was kinda like an in-between of GTA IV and GTA V multiplayer

Christian rock is so...weird

Christian rock be like...

[crisp sparrow]

@dreamy zinc R Type is a series of shoot-em-up games that were really popular in arcades back in the 80's

Gradius being another franchise

R Type Final on the playstation had like 99 ships or something, crazy stuff

[cerulean hinge]

I reccomend trying the demo of R-Type Final 2, it's on ps4 and switch, not sure for xbox and pc

There are also two strategy themed spinoffs for the psp, they work really well with all the different ships and the story, I reccomend trying it on emulators

[crisp sparrow]

some of the checkpoints in final 2 are so frustrating tbh

[cerulean hinge]

Agree

It's hard to recover on higher difficulties

[crisp sparrow]

lol I found this youtuber while trying to find a letsplay of delta

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

nice! mobilleeeee

what the heck that looks really cool for a mobile game

[austere lance]

So does Genshin, Chinese mobile games are on a whole nother level

[willow crypt]

there are some impressive ones. though not many i'm willing to play

i've been wanting an exploration game that scratches that particular itch

though Sky is one that does that i suppose

[austere lance]

Tbh I'd try Genshin if it was one more than one console. Be arsed with mobile controls

[willow crypt]

mhm the mobile controls are generally the downside

[thorn dawn]

@willow crypthttps://youtu.be/f9V8sDa04Mc

[crisp sparrow]

seems more like an action platformer game tbh

really doubt those planets are anything but instanced and probably really small too

[shadow tartan]

Yeah more than likely but it's nice to dream. Have to see what they have in store though. There are some absolute legends out there.

[crisp sparrow]

I think its more like Journey to the Savage Planet

I can totally see a game like that being able to be played on new smartphones since they're some real beasts now

[silver sparrow]

pc or console

[shadow tartan]

There is a Switch emulator that only works on SD 855 and upwards 🤣

[crisp sparrow]

yep

and it works pretty ok

imagine it on an SD 888

[shadow tartan]

And some newer mobile games will be demanding from what I have seen

Oh lord

I am due an upgrade

Razer Phone broke too

[crisp sparrow]

I'm on the Oneplus 5

[shadow tartan]

I have that too

You got the 8GB version?

[shadow tartan]

@thorn dawn I still have my 3GS though

[thorn dawn]

[thorn dawn]

was the only one I ever got on contract

[shadow tartan]

You buy them outright now?

they'll rip this tariff out of my cold dead hands

[shadow tartan]

they've told me that they'll start jacking the price by inflation/CPI every year

[willow crypt]

i heard that rumor recently but the person i heard it from kept saying outer worlds

[dry copper]

Outer Wilds/No Man's Sky, tells me they have no idea what Outer Wilds is and no idea what No Man's Sky is.

Those two games are similar in one way only. They involve space.

"I made this movie. It's like Starwars/Interstellar"

[bronze wind]

yeah was gonna say lol

"focused on exploration" then names two pretty drastically different games

[silver sparrow]

10/10 would watch

[cinder vessel]

pls tell me they didn't "fix" the Mako in the Mass Effect 1 remake

[austere lance]

Yes, but you can switch it to old Mako controls and handling if you want 😆

[cinder vessel]

wow they fucked up there, but thank goodness they kept the real controls

the Mako is by far the highlight of the series

btw ME1 is basically a remake in this rerelease, yeah? Or is it more remaster-ish? haven't really seen much talk of that

[bronze wind]

they're all remasters with some small updates

incldues all DLC for each game

[austere lance]

Yep

All the games have redone lighting, textures, and whatnot. ME1 has gameplay and UI changes to make combat not as atrocious, as well as the Mako being fixed

Plus the games all affect your Galactic Readiness in ME3 now

[cinder vessel]

you mean desecrated, the Mako was great

[austere lance]

Lol. Do you know how many people I've seen who wouldn't replay ME1 cuz of that damn thing 🤣

[willow crypt]

3

[cinder vessel]

wtf! it's the best part of that game, the top character!

i am being completely sincere btw, the Mako was the most fun i had with ME1

[willow crypt]

i don't know why i have no urge to play Mass Effect games

i did watch long let's plays of them before playing Andromeda, and mostly enjoyed it until things felt a bit repetitive

[austere lance]

Hits different when you're the one making the choices and doing the fighting tbh

[willow crypt]

you're probably right

[austere lance]

Never understood watching let's plays, besides checking to see if a game has decent gameplay. Playing them yourself hits different, especially when it's a game full of choices

[cinder vessel]

not for me, but i'm just a weirdo

for ME that is

...Mass Effect, to be entirely clear

[austere lance]

Or horror game. I can vouch that playing RE7 hits WAY different from watching it, I did both 😆

The gameplay is shit, but that's not the point

[cinder vessel]

I've played through some of Mass Effect 1 and found some of the questlines' major decision points more or less converged with the biggest differences being some flavor text (since there were next to no repercussions)

[willow crypt]

it's the length of the game that was intimidating to me, and wanting to jump into an all new one

[cinder vessel]

like there's something really funny about the repercussions often being boiled down to morality points, so regardless of decisions you're still "rewarded" in a way

[austere lance]

But the morality points affect which decisions you can make in future conversations, which can pay off by rewarding you with weapons/items you wouldn't get otherwise. Or, you know, being able to save or kill people

1 has a shit system tbh, 2 and 3 do it better by giving you actions you can take during conversations or cutscenes

[cinder vessel]

yeah, i know, but it's still pretty 🤷

[dry copper]

Watching games vs playing is like watching vs acting in movies. They're both equal in terms of the artistic interest but entirely different in terms of their purpose individualistically

"Eww, don't look at paintings...Paint your own!"

Expression and impression

Both valid explorations of medium

but eww @ football. I don't like watching it or playing it /s

😛

[willow crypt]

well said

i watched it mainly for the story/plot

[cinder vessel]

y'know some of the best games to watch? arcade puzzlers or fighting games. The execution by skilled folks is downright astounding

[willow crypt]

that’s a whole other aspect

[dry copper]

Sometimes. Sometimes it's a cheating computer.

[willow crypt]

watching skilled gamers

[cinder vessel]

You see them chain combos or execute combos so adeptly it's like 😮

[dry copper]

I like watching beat saber for that

[cinder vessel]

And sometimes it's like 😵

[willow crypt]

i enjoyed watching rocket league players

[cinder vessel]

Ever watch Tetris players where they can't even see the tetrominoes falling but still somehow chain together combos?

[willow crypt]

i feel like i’ve seen that stuff

[cinder vessel]

not only not see them fall but can't see their existing placement

[willow crypt]

and guitar hero

i don’t understand

[cinder vessel]

it's big 😮

[willow crypt]

they see the future

[cinder vessel]

i don't understand what drives them to such skill, but i enjoy the performance nonetheless

[dry copper]

Muscle memory

Your muscles respond faster than your thoughts

[bronze wind]

i like watching speedruns or challenge runs for games

[dry copper]

If you can train your muscle memory in a game, it's not even thinking

[cinder vessel]

my muscles are too slow for my thoughts, lmao

https://www.gameinformer.com/2021/05/17/new-dying-light-2-video-shares-more-about-the-story-open-world-events-factions-and-more

[dry copper]

Is ME Legendary Edition require online?

[austere lance]

No

[willow crypt]

that would be dumb

[austere lance]

It's not an online game, lol

[willow crypt]

doesn't it have multiplayer modes though?

or did they exclude those

[austere lance]

3 had a multiplayer mode, but they didn't add it to Legendary Edition cuz remastering a multiplayer mode and putting up servers for it woulda been a whole different animal

They've said if LE sells good they'll think about it tho

did y'all see GTA V is coming to PS5/xXboxOneXxSeriesXXx

wasn't that announced like 2 months ago

ofc they're gonna port it, it's rockstar's cash cow

because why pour resources into new entries in the series if you have one that makes you absolute bank already

[thorn dawn]

Why make games when you can make money

Honestly at this point Rockstar should just make their own console

That only plays GTAV

[fleet moat]

that looks like a super legit old school username with all those x's

[thorn dawn]

Truth: I honestly don't actually know what the new xbox is called so I just add random x's until people get the idea

[fleet moat]

what would be the name of the console?

Seems pretty cheap to buy, especially with a discount

Want to make sure I spend some platinum well

[fleet moat]

volt can be super fun. with the right loadout. my bf used it more than me tho and it's been a while. i love its speed abilities that can help the team when farming in certain missions.

[long mural]

And by the right loadout?

[broken prairie]

@long mural If you mean the regular volt, u can get the bps really easy, if you mean volt prime, then trading is probably cheaper

[charred badge]

Prime is in the Disney vault, so trading is the only way

Relatively rare unvaults

[broken prairie]

but dont use plat on regular volt, just join a clan with it researched in tenno la

tenno lab

[charred badge]

Worth remembering that most prime Warframes aren't much of a buff over base

Unlike weapons

Yeah, just never buy base frames with plat

[broken prairie]

unless u want the prime

[charred badge]

Just wait on prime

If you can't farm it currently, it's not the worst

[broken prairie]

If you want the prime, just trade for the prime, why tell yourself no, you can farm plat

[charred badge]

When an unvault happens, they flood specific areas with the relics, so it's impossible to miss

Spirit is playing Subnautica Below Zero and freaking out 🤣

[charred badge]

Why is Subnautica so scary

[austere lance]

Because it's friggin Subnautica

If you have any fear of the deep ocean you're gonna shit your pants

[charred badge]

I can play through the worst of rpg maker and RE, but subnautica is just a constant stream of nopenopenope

[cinder vessel]

? why do that? The devs behind Biomutant have noted they've specifically focused on PS4/Xbox One to minimize issues with the game, unlike certain other recent big releases...

[winter yew]

@glacial ridge here you go, fouund it <3

well

it wont let me attach it waity

[glacial ridge]

Dm it to me

You won't have pic perms here

[willow crypt]

and i respect that. not saying i condemn them for it, just saying i’d rather wait for next gen enhancements. I’ve been waiting for it for some time so i’m cool with waiting longer

[cinder vessel]

eh, i just imagine they'll be some fidelity and performance junk, but i getcha

[willow crypt]

maybe haptic stuff

and 3d audio stuff

[cinder vessel]

As long as the versions for the ol' stuff works well enough & doesn't look too rough I don't really care about next gen finesse

[willow crypt]

yep

honestly, i wouldn’t wait if it was just higher res and performance

[cinder vessel]

Tbh the only real killer to me would be load times

But I imagine they'll have worked to keep those low and/or minimal

[willow crypt]

that there is a benefit of next gen by itself

nms fast

[cinder vessel]

yeah, tho tbh last gen stuff did pretty well excluding some specific games

[willow crypt]

there really were only a a few games that had annoyingly long load times too close together

[cinder vessel]

three in particular come to mind for me, mainly Prey, Bloodborne, & NMS to varying degrees

NMS is just a weird one given how it's changed over time

[willow crypt]

yuh

most exciting things for me are haptics, raytracing and 3D audio

MANY possibilities for the new haptic controller

it’s impressive in Returnal

[cinder vessel]

i don't think i have the right audio setup for 3D audio, so it's kinda 🤷 to me. Raytracing is one of those things i think is whatever, good games will use it so well you don't even notice it, bad games will use it terribly and the game will run worse as a result and that will suck.

Haptics are interesting, but when was the last time you heard anyone talking about the HD rumble with the Switch, y'know?

[willow crypt]

hmm i don’t know what that rumble was like

[austere lance]

The effect of GTA Online on Rockstar, lol

[willow crypt]

as far as haptics go, you can feel individual rain drop vibrations and hear them hitting your ‘helmet’

supposedly psvr2 will have head haptics

Rockstar should take a break and make a small game

[austere lance]

Bully 2

Be a helluva lot smaller than RDR and GTA, lol

[willow crypt]

that would be an interesting return in this day and age

i tried playing Bully on ps4 but couldn’t get into it. also, the controls were infuriating

[cinder vessel]

isn't that rockstar games in a nutshell? 😛

somehow bully is the only rockstar game i've played entirely. i tried GTAIV and the terrible car controls just made me go nope

[austere lance]

GTA IV was meh

Somehow that infuriates the GTA fans though

I'll play RDR1 over any GTA, no contest

[cinder vessel]

i honestly don't understand the appeal of GTA or, frankly, any more recent Rockstar games

[austere lance]

I'm still curious about LA Noir, it never goes on a decent sale tho

[cinder vessel]

The recent ones especially are just so hyperfocused on being sorta cinematic games it's like

Then again, AAA games industry is stupidly insecure about the medium and feels like drawing from established media is the way to git gud

"We gotta be like films!" say some in an industry that i'm pretty sure has already outprofited the film industry...?

[willow crypt]

games that take place in big cities kinda bore me

though CP2077 interests me

[cinder vessel]

...i just realized The Disaster Artist is on Netflix

[willow crypt]

even though i didn’t play, that one was on my mind

[charred badge]

it was truly heinous

[austere lance]

Basically every open world game last gen had atrocious load times, lol

[arctic sparrow]

expect all of them to have that in the future, if you're not rocking them on SSDs

[long mural]

Well then, I was playing Warframe, saw a guy and beat ‘em up and apparently I got Kuva and when I returned to the Orbiter, the screen got a red tint and the guy I probably beat up started talking to me. I don’t know what just happened.

What the heck’s a Kuva Lich?

[arctic sparrow]

played shadow of mordor? it's one of those personalized bosses. except tune the grind to 100 because it's DE

I'm surprised that the developers for Mass Effect didn't opt for the new distro, to incorporate some form of local co-op

[dry copper]

In Elite Dangerous Odyssey, are there MP ships or is everyone in a SP ship flying in co-op?

[earnest hatch]

I think there are MP

[dry copper]

Not seeing any MP ships

Odyssey looks cool but I can't justify playing it when I hate the other part of the game

i don’t need to store star wars movie names in my brain

star wars: the bad one

[willow crypt]

star wars: one of the 10 or 11 movies

[silver sparrow]

i assert that the first two movies were earnest attempts at story and every one since was a product promotion cash grab

i can’t disagree
