Eh, i got addicted for way to long
Wasnt unusual for me to play 12 hours a day some days
Same thing happened with kerbals 1
willow crypt
it's nice when games can suck you in that much. it's more rare for me now, but when a game does, i feel reassured
i never want to lose interest in games
glass plinth
1 min 45 seconds in, thats game footage
Tessellated water , Me wants, proper clouds, proper vegetation on kerbin
I think when it comes to games, I get sucked in a bit easier
Genshin, Valheim, anything which is longer term
But games that let me wander, thats my game
I think whats awesome about kerbals is, it actually changed our world.
People played it back during beta, who were inspired to become engineers , who are now building tech that changes our world, in the here in now.
THAT is important.
Anything that inspires people to be more.
willow crypt
that is exciting
the more excited we get people about space exploration, the sooner it'll become a reality
well, it is a reality
but more of what we picture it in science fiction many years from now

I cannot stand people who are obsessed with absolute perfection with graphics, fml. I've had to deal with someone cry about bizarre miniscule details about Mass Effect remasters since they released and I honestly wanna boot them off a bridge
austere lance
Them: "I haven't played the games yet but this one detail-obsessed YouTuber says that the reflections in one part of the Citadel are only 30 FPS and look jittery"
Me: "I'm dumb and spent way too much time in that exact spot and noticed nothing"
Them: "Blah blah some people can't even notice the difference between 30 and 60 FPS"
Me, trying not to reach through the screen and strangle them:
Oh fucking kill me, they worship Digital Foundry

I'm gonna commit a war crime if they keep bringing this shit up after I've been done talking about it for ten minutes
thorn dawn
which one?
austere lance
Which war crime?
thorn dawn
Yup
silver sparrow
What are the different types of war crimes?
In Article 8 of its Elements of Crimes document, the ICC lists the different types of war crime which are covered by the Rome Statute, including but not limited to the war crimes of:
Wilful killing, torture, mutilation or inhumane treatment
Biological, medical or scientific experiments which cause death or seriously endanger lives
Destruction and appropriation of property
Compelling service in hostile forces
Denying a fair trial
Sentencing or execution without due process
Unlawful deportation, transfer or confinement
Taking hostages
Attacking civilians or civilian objects
Attacking personnel or objects involved in a humanitarian assistance or peacekeeping mission
Improper use of a flag of truce or distinctive emblems of the Geneva Conventions
Employing poison, prohibited gases, liquids, materials or devices
Rape, sexual slavery or enforced prostitution
The use of child soldiers
.
So technically hitting someone’s mailbox with a bat is a war crime

I imagine they made the stupid mistake of selling their business to investors
Oh well. They're going to learn the hard way or go under. Fortunately for them they released down under early so...ba dum tish
Biomutant wasn't really on my radar tbh. The single player only thing is meh.
Medieval Dynasty I hope one day to have MP, but I have heard that's not even on the shop floor.
spiral shell
I hope it has MP one day as well, not sure the developers are capable of it
dry copper
If the developers over at Life is Feudal can do it...I'm sure they can.
Quash the MMO bs...Just a 4 player co-op should suffice.
dry copper
I wouldn't even go that far. Specialization limits gameplay and forces co-op. Make co-op a choice so that players can join others as a whole person capable of self determination and decide whether or not they want to be friendly or talk smack about their friend to the local lords...
A political system muahaha

Mount and Blade with multiplayer in the campaign could be hysterical to play with friends 🤣

Valheim kind of spoiled me.
Now that I know what indie are capable of, I don't want to accept less
I'm surprised THQ Nordic hasn't been screaming FIX THIS SHIT, at Experiment 101, over Biomutant...THQ Nordic tend to have a pretty tight leash on the IP they publish
austere lance
There's some cool upcoming indie games I'm looking forward, like this
https://youtu.be/MxXfqGcxICM
austere lance
I'm surprised THQ Nordic hasn't been screaming FIX THIS SHIT, at Experiment 101,...
It's been delayed multiple times 😬
dry copper
So what, it's release was do or die?
I hope Nordic isn't working with another developer pushing something similar, hoping to build up hype using biomutant, or at least hope
Might give rise to a lawsuit from the developer for being used to push another IP
austere lance
It was a very hyped game that got delayed a bunch of times, there was no good choice for releasing it. Also, its janky bs mysteriously didn't come to light til like yesterday. The devs have kept it close to their chest for a long time and barely ever showed gameplay
dry copper
that's disturbing
My experience with THQ Nordic so far, as a publisher has been pretty good.
That is to say, their reputation as a publisher, firm but fair
austere lance
Yeah uh, I don't think reviewers even got their hands on it til a couple days ago. That or they were NDA'd to absolute hell and it just lifted
dry copper
My favorite THQ games (and probably why the publisher stands out to me), were the Gothic series, Risen, Arania, Darksiders and the last big title I played through was Elex...Though I also have Fade to Silence...but can't get into it.
cinder vessel
It's a 20 man dev team that bit off waaaaay more than they can chew
a bit of that for sure but it also sounds like the design was hella unfocused
austere lance
Yeah they had no idea what they were doing. It's just full of shit nobody needed, along with straight up bad gameplay design
cinder vessel
tbh only PS5 has sounded like a total mess. Other versions sound technically okay but largely let down by unfocused design and weird decisions, e.g. narrator reading all dialog, low volume audio mixing
dry copper
empty worlds
In the post apocalyptic world of biomutant, you are a mutant in a post apocalyptic world of biomutant. You are pretty much alone...Welcome to Far Cry 7
austere lance
Big empty open world that's a buggy mess, and most side missions are fetch quests. And the combat design in general is bad. You can't control enemy lock-on, it just automatically locks on to whoever you're pointing at 💀
And there's absolutely zero weight to combat, most things barely act like they got hit
dry copper
and your sword sounds like an envelop opener
and all the main elements of the game can be skipped in dialogue choices
"Dude wants to give up"
Devs were like....Yeah this shit is boring. Lets give em the option of skipping the main and only feature of the game. Conquest

anyone here play 7 days to die?

That game ever finish?
The performance in 7d2d is hot garbage with Duke Nukem graphics on a glorified Minecraft world.
I had high hopes for it and thought the funpimps attitude of "We'll never be finished because we'll just keep making it better" was a joke at first.
Now I realize it was a marketing ploy to avoid ever having to sell a finished product.
I got my play hours worth for the title and never touched it for more than an hour at a time again.
I look at value in the algorithm:
if money(in dollars)>=hours(of enjoyable game play), than "Good"
But one has to be careful not to fall into a cost sunk fallacy thinking it's good because of the time contributed to it.
winter yew
I put in some hours into it because a friend bought it for me, I’m not super invested in it because I didn’t enjoy how clunky it felt

Then again I am tired of crafting/survival games
The loop is always ‘smack rock to smack tree and build house’

My only issue with a lot of crafting and survival games is the mechanic being built into them that crafting is advancement, rather than crafting being to help advance.
I don't consider being able to make rock floors over grass floors advancing in a game

Well after 30 or so minutes of Biomutant
I refunded it
Its just not fun really
very pretty nice open world but it feels VERY unfinished
dry copper
I think Biomutant was never going to be finished. It was pushed back multiple times. Too many cooks in the kitchen for that product.
A common problem with small teams with multiple critical members
I hope they got enough sales that they can afford to fix it, at least.
glass plinth
There was more to it of course.
Frankly, I think they will get enough sales to keep it going
That being said, whether it flounders? Dunno
dry copper
I've been watching lets plays for it on twitch. It runs nicely enough on PC...I hate the capture the base mechanics tho
glass plinth
It wont really matter once the game is 20 bucks
Ill grab it then
I mean fundamentally, the game will be entertaining enough
dry copper
$20 is a good sale for a studio's first launch
glass plinth
Really is
Look at kerbals
they sold SO many copies at that price
Pushed them so far
Im so glad they got taken over then way they did.
dry copper
Thing is, lower price and the game itself becomes an advertisement that sells itself in part on the price.
dry copper
A game that's even just a little good is going to get bulk purchases at low prices.
I'm not the only gamer that looks at value based on how much time I can burn with a game.
Then there are people who burn through thousands more hours in the game and get way more than their moneys worth, so the game advertises a whole other aspect
Suddenly you got a cult following
Funny thing is if the game is cheap, that cult will drive its popularity through the roof and people even meh at the game might be convinced on popularity alone to give it a go....
Now your cult is growing

it's funny seeing all of the reviews on the biomutant page complaining about the narrator, mixed in with this review lol
winter yew
You can actually turn him off entirely?
bronze wind
No idea what the extent of it is
dry copper
Probably, replaced with just captioning
bronze wind
I'm kinda guessing it's just a volume thing? idk
winter yew
Imma be honest as a 35 year old, I don't appreciate the notion of the narrator talking to me like an old man telling a nap time story.
Just doesn't vibe with the visuals of the game
bronze wind
apparently every NPC in the game speaks animal gibberish and then the narrator translates for them when they're done speaking
winter yew
I know a year ago I saw a gameplay clip of the train yard
dry copper
I like the narrator in Grounded. He talks to me like I'm an incompetent teenage child that's been shrunk to the size of an ant....and that it was on purpose
winter yew
and old man narrator was like 'this is where the chuggachugga CHOO CHOO!" or something.
and im just like 'wtf was that'
silver sparrow
I've actually seen senior citizens complaining to Hinterland about The Long Dark
that is fantastic
dry copper
One thing I really dig about Grounded are the number of emotes that include contextualized statements from your character, when used.
You can have an entire conversation with bugs
One sided conversations, but still
Ants suck at emoting

ok so i did the thing, right away here are two settings in the audio menu...
willow crypt
do you like the narrator?
bronze wind
the bottom one literally has the description "adjust how often creatures speak gibberish" lol
he's ok but I haven't even booted up the game to see how it meshes with gameplay
willow crypt
ah
what do you think of the story and exploration?
or do you mean you haven't booted up the game at all
bronze wind
i hadn't started a save yet
still in the tutorial, it's kind of bogged down by the narrator for sure
the person sayin gyou can turn it off is misleading, it just turns it off for overworld commentary I think. Tutorials/cutscenes/all dialog still has the narrator
it's done in a really dumb way I think is the issue. The animal speaks an entire sentence of gibberish, then the narrator says what they mean. It'd make more sense if they just had the characters gesture and gibberish while the narrator spoke lol
it wouldn't be quite as bad if half of the names for things weren't complete nonsense that lack context half the time lol
then you could skip some of the dialogue and still have a clue what any of the mission prompts mean
willow crypt
the complete absence of the narrator would be off-putting, leaving gaps of eerie soundless gameplay
probably
yeah that sounds annoying, having to wait to understand
i'd rather have subtitles translating gibberish

My only concern with Steamworks taking on consoles is their propensity for picking up tech hobbies and dragging their feet when it comes to long term commitments. I'd hate for them to jump on another techwagon and give up or pass the buck on it a few years in.
They always phase into trends, make waves, then phase out. I think the longest they've been in one is the valve index.
This isn't the first time they've tried to get a console market. I still find steam machines on the used market to this day.

Heyo, any people here hyped for the massive 2.0 update that's coming to Avorion this summer?
Here's a trailer of the game for those who don't know what Avorion is

I played Interstellar Rift. Does that count? In that one you can build the outside and the inside of your spaceship. What does Avorion offer that interstellar rift does not?
winter yew
Avorion offers much more flexible building tool, as well as tons of story/exploration/combat content in space. Haven't tried interstellar rift, but from what I can see it doesn't have nearly as nice graphics as Avorion either.

We'll see I guess. Gotta wait for more info.
Cause right now the way I see it, it's a little machine that can run steam link, aka stream steam games to itself, can be hooked to a tv, or be handheld.
At least the way it's presented atm, by some third party reporters.
So I guess kinda like this Steam Machine indeed.

I expect them to start building up infrastructure for Steam Cloud Play

interesting, apparently there IS/WAS a handheld version in development.
WIth a successful crowdfunding campaign etc, yadda yadda The SMACH Z has not yet been approved by Valve as an official Steam Machine.

I honestly don't know how people got into Ark. I tried to, but I hate battle royale and I hate 12 year olds from all over the world screaming obscenities even more. Only game I saw more griefing in is Rust.
The publisher "Snail" doesn't make me feel better about the product, either.

Ark generally is a survival taming building game, if you arent pvping.

I was an administrator for a server hosting the original dayz mod on a gaming server. It had a lot of customization options.

Thats a choice though.
In the 17k hours i played, i never pvped
Ok, maybe like the first 300 hours i did, i cant remember clearly what i did then. I always liked to play mostly solo though. I dont like playing with groups. Way to easy, way to much drama.
I guess the only pvp i did in games was eve, Rift and Overwatch

I'm relieved. Gamers Nexus did reviews on the computers I was going to purchase earlier this month and I'm so glad I did not...
glass plinth
Eh, it was a great membrane keyboard microsoft made. Lasted WAY longer then i expected
dry copper
The reviews revealed a lot of shit wrong with the Dell prebuilds.
dry copper
Worse than bloat. We're talking fundamental issues like a motherboard that's not suited to the CPU and memory, so everything is underclocked.
dry copper
Shitty intakes or no intakes at all, so everything thermal throttles

CPU cooler that doesn't sit properly on the CPU and is LOAD BARING...attached to the casing.

Does beg the question why though?
I mean designers at corporate level usually dont make mistakes like that on mistake, its malcious usually
Take fords designs on trucks, ensuring they break

From the review I read, the suggestion was that Dell is repurposing motherboards from the pentium era

You can prob get a 10600k for less and it clocks higher
dry copper
Why would you go with a 11 series i5 over a 10 series
glass plinth
The practical reason you dont go for a 10600k actually is a bit forward looking.
overall, the 10600k is indeed a bit faster.
dry copper
If you're going with a 11 series, you might as well skip the i5 entirely and go with a 10 series i7
glass plinth
However, there is a issue with memory and a number of other efficiency factors
Overall, I can run a 11400, 20 percent faster in practical applications, rendering, games, so on
glass plinth
Oh quite
In fact i sorta did a experiment with that last night lol!
Borrowed my friends 3080 and a 4k monitor
With a 11400, versus a 10600k overclocked, with the 11400 with no power limits, i outstripped the 10600k
BUT
always a but lol
You have to overclock your ram with both to really get the full scale and use the right m2 drives on the 11400.
Thats where newer compatibilities comes in
Its a if and or scenario
If you have the right gear and you do the right things, the 11400 is better, but if you just evenly do the same things, the 10600k is better
Welcome to generation gaps lol
Ive been fiddling with power limits on my 11400, turnd the power limits off, then undervolted slightly.
So it sits at 4.4ghz, without cooking and man it runs well.
Its almost enough to get me back into pc building and overclocking. Sorta gone gonzo over it all in the last few weeks since my rebuild.
As for my keyboard. Went with a complete unknown company to me. I dont generally buy peripherals much, so i didnt know what to do. Ended up with theTecware Phantom 87 , brown switches.
Absolutely LOVE the way it types. Its soooooo snappy.
No wobble on the keys, very firm board, no ping, no ghost, beautiful double shop caps.

At least they're constantly trying with something. They don't just camp all that cash they make, but actively spend it as well. :D

I'm still ruined by Cyberpunk
My gameplay is inconsolable.
I'm like Charlie bit me, but Charlie doesn't care.

I literally spent months in here telling y'all about every new bad piece of CDPR news and the game before it released, I knew to avoid it like the plague 💀

I read all the news and assumed it would be a tyre fire on release

it's hard to know who's word to taek

OH BOY DID I LEARN A LESSON

i'm hearing that youtubers and reviewers blew the Biomutant stuff out of proportion
that it really isn't all that bad

I mean, it's a dry af open world full of fetch quests and combat with zero weight to it. And it crashes a ridiculous amount on PS5. Those aren't subjective things, that's just the game
Whether the story is good, the narrator is annoying, the morality system is fun, etc are subjective things

I watched twitch streams of it. It looked boring af
Running all over the map, fetching shit. The combat really did not lend well to the combat system it used with floaty hitboxes and enemies that don't respond to being slashed in the face with a claymore
Given the primary objective is combat based, fucking up combat is a heinous act
The world is beautiful though

Talking about the Kung Fu Mammals that for some reason have guns game?

No. We're talking about the 1992 hit phenomena; "Play Barbie"

I think we would've had a more interesting conversation talking about barbie.
Barbie dolls got crazy bendy rebar wire in their rubberized plastic legs. Shit's PAINFUL
Their hair makes them largely top heavy, so getting a good back flip out of barbie is an instant no-go, but in a fight against GI-Joe, Barbie has the reach advantage.
and ken is useless. The dude doesn't bend. He's a glorified action figure with no rubberized parts, so when his plastic gets impacted he cracks like a ten cent hooker looking for a fix
