#

I even saw random shit like Beja randomly expanding into the territory that Toledo should be in (while i was placing the cities)

#

The worse part is that for this i had to literally place each city as an independent country (every city that you create starts by default as a whole kingdom)

#

And to unite them all...well, it was some border gore material

Does anyone know when The Last Campfire is coming to Steam

#

Cause I know they launch it on Epic last year back in August and just curious when it's coming on Steam since the year is up

winter yew
#

I can't see it being too much longer. Steam page still only states 2021 but you're right, year is up.

1 year exclusivity deal doesn't always mean that it will release on steam after the contract ends

I just remembered that the new PS Plus games are available, being Hitman 2 and Predator: Hunting Grounds
Though I decided to look at the Hitman 2 DLC list and goodness, most of it is unavailable

#

Why is that?

winter yew
#

Locked behind owning previous entry and/or gold/platinum editions.

#

Oh

#

I don’t have any older games, so I won’t be able to access them if I did get Hitman 2

#

I see now

Pardon?

What do you mean Hitman 2 2?

Scratch that some internal conflict happened and i got thrown out. Funny how not even 24 hours in i lose it all. Thats okay id rather play with you guys. Clearly better than that group.

Anyone like disappointed with this month’s humble bundle choice?

Im still gonna grab it but like wow this late summer curse still happens with gaming to this very day.

Looks like a bunch of hot garbage

Narita is ass, unfortunately. Played it on Game Pass for an hour and wanted my time refunded, LMAO

many of them are duplicates so id be having to send them off to close friends

Orwell is great if you enjoy puzzle/detective games.

thats one of the duplicates that i highlighted earlier that i will not be getting

Im going to have to grab that

Reminds me so much of NMS, just with objectives

Seriously, wish nms added more gameplay

Hi, my name is Daði Freyr and I make music.

I also make videos, this is one of those videos. If you like this video you might like some of my other videos, if you don’t like this video you still might like some of my other videos, there’s one way to find out really. I want to thank Xbox Game Pass and Psychonauts 2 for trusting me to do my thing...

This game strikes me as being so close to what some folks in the NMS community want NMS to be like, it's always baffling to me more of'em don't know of it

charred badge

I got the NW beta invite, lol

lol

#

Sorta like the minmaxers in NMS rambling about needing unit sinks i guess

#

Minmaxers just gotta ruin games for themselves

wet warren
#

So it's really possible to buy concept ships for the game even though they're not even implemented?

cinder vessel
#

unfortunately yeah, and has been for several years now

it's sort of like micro-preorders

which is absolutely bonkers, but hey, capitalism

#

Isn't Star Citizen basically people paying for a game that doesn't exist and yet somehow they still do it

cinder vessel
#

eh, more like the usual bad early access stuff, as there's something that exists, but it's incomplete and breaks a lot

silent bolt
#

I will say that I fucking love the idea behind Star Citizen. Just sucks that it will be in alpha for the next several decades

#

Anyone here mess around with Stellaris? I feel like there’s so much to it that I’m not even taking full advantage of the game

cinder vessel
#

yeah, i started to try stellaris but some bugs & the lack of an in-game wiki like civ has kinda bummed me out of it

#

when you have a game as dense as that, having something like the civilopedia/civopedia in-game is practically essential imo

#

(and yeah, they do point you to a wiki, but it didn't really help with what i wanted to know so bleh)

silent bolt
#

yeah it definitely takes a lot of messing around to see what’s possible

#

especially with how you create your race

#

Just got a surprise ping that Staxel's coming to Switch, huh

winter yew
#

I saw the tweet that put out more or less confirming but a nice surprise.

#

I own it on PC and had a ton of fun with it. It's nice to see they're still working on it and getting it out to more people.

cinder vessel
#

I'm honestly surprised it's seeing a port at all, since it seems like it may not have done super super well? It's like a skeleton crew still doing work on it, last i checked

#

I haven't taken the time to get into it tbh, but I got it since I liked the look of the building system

winter yew
#

It reminded me of a 3d version of Animal Crossing, but not quite.

#

They was working on a new game but put it "on hold", did release the demo for it though

#

I wonder if they halted this to work on Switch port?

#

I'm pretty confident the engine they built for Nexel did get ported in to Staxel.

cinder vessel
#

there may be more info somewhere in the announcements on steam or one of the threads

#

i vaguely remember something about that, i think

winter yew
#

Oh yeah, maybe it is more like Hokko than Animal Crossing.

#

Pretty fair comparison.

bold crag
#

but yeah stellaris is good stuff

balmy plaza
#

I'm pretty terrible at it though lol

#

The console version is surprisingly good too

bold crag
#

yes a wiki would be helpful or a techtree

#

even the paradox wiki itself is sometimes not as helpful as you would hope

#

in case of doubt you can always save, try something and load that save if it goes wrong

#

but i have to admit that stellaris has a few counterintuitive mechanics

#

it's a lot of learning by doing

#

well yeah, they are very different games but i guess their teaching philosophy is similar

#

Welcome back, Mr. Anderson.

#

I'm hyped.

Another cashgrab "reboot" it is then

its very possible that it wont do as well but i will give the benefit of the doubt of this one hoping this doesnt get messed up

Cool pixelsorter effect thogh

#

@wary rapids hows death stranding going? i should really try to go finish it myself

wary rapids
#

How...did you know I'm playing that?

cerulean kite
#

so it tells me what ppl are playing when i go into the app to download screenshots or whatever

wary rapids
#

Well considering it's a PS4 game from 2019...and it looks like this I'm happy

#

Poured 100 hours into it recently.

#

It's not 60 fps on ps5 untill directors cut comes out but still.

snow zenith
#

Wait

#

Are people really in that mindset already

#

"For 2019 it looks pretty great"

#

Yea it's only 2 years ago

winter yew
#

i mean half life 2 came out in 2004 and yet that game still holds up visually

#

but a game from late ps4 holds up well today is a far stretch

wary rapids
#

For a game, that's pretty old.

#

Especially in this age....

dry copper
#

FO76 finally gave up. It's a playground now.

wary rapids
#

Hm?

#

I stopped playing that quite some time ago, so I am not certain what you speak of?

dry copper
#

Fallout76 worlds update basically gives you full control as a 1st member, of server specs

#

No fall damage, unlimited ammo, etc

#

They've basically set campaigns that impact the entire server for non-1st members, and gave 1st members the ability to host their own world with whatever campaign running they want, or no campaign at all

#

Probably a bad idea if they are hoping to have 1st members playing together.

#

Not a lot of sense to do MP with other players when your base disappears the moment you log

#

Base building is literally the only thing FO76 has.

#

It's not enough for me to return to it, regardless.

#

That engine is hot garbage

wary rapids
#

Everything you said is pretty much accurate.

#

I used to be a fan of Bethesda's, not so much nowadays.

I prefer pretty much any game PlayStation Studios puts out, and a few other small game studios, that's about it.

snow zenith
#

2006 game btw

wary rapids
#

No idea what that is. :P

full pivot
#

It really depends on games right? Some perform magic and keep games looking great for ages after their time, and some dont.

#

Character models in Silent Hill 3? amazing

wary rapids
#

Mmmm, yeah that's also true.

#

Death Stranding just looks so realistic....it's about as real as it gets.

willow crypt
#

Lighting and form are two visual aspects that allow many games to 'hold up' to this day

#

even with pixelated/low poly characters and environments

#

but with a 3 year old game, we're not gonna see huge leaps and bounds in graphics. A lot of them could be almost considered a current gen game

#

Death Stranding is gorgeous. more gorgeous than a lot of current gen games

#

I think we're getting to a point where we won't be able to further improve games visually.

#

I'm okay with that. Sometimes ultra realistic, ultra high-poly games are a turn-off

cerulean kite
#

uncanny valley incoming

willow crypt
#

yeah that's actually an issue when developers try to aim for realism

cerulean kite
#

my only complaint with Horizon Zero Dawn is the uncanny vallyness of the NPCs

willow crypt
#

I think I agree

#

the facial animations even for Aloy were sometimes strange

cerulean kite
#

yup

willow crypt
#

I think Forbidden West will improve upon it

cerulean kite
#

im sure theyll have improved on the new one, and im very excited to play it. the first one is still such an incredible game

willow crypt
#

yes. one of the major reasons I enjoyed it was because it didn't overstay its welcome

#

there was just the right amount of side quests. not too many, and not filler content

wary rapids
#

And I'm glad we're at this point.

willow crypt
#

tbh

wary rapids
#

But the fact remains, Death Stranding went above and beyond the realism I've ever seen in any game to date.

willow crypt
#

I'm curious to watch people play the remastered version

#

but i wont. not a big game replayer person

wary rapids
#

Yeah, I'm copping it, the Director's Cut.

#

This is pretty much the only reason I don't play on PC.

#

You can't enjoy 95% of these games on any other platform.

wary rapids
#

I totally didn't drop $200 on that game...

#

Most of the reason Horizon looks so good is Decima to be fair.

cinder vessel
#

it's weird, horizon looked like a noisy mess a lot of the time, whereas death stranding had a clearer look to it for me

cerulean kite
#

HZD was also a much earlier release on the platform than Death Stranding

willow crypt
#

wider, more open feeling landscapes

#

simple, singular architectural designs

#

I love simplicity

#

and I know what you mean at times. Some games are VISUAL PUNCH IN THE EYES

austere lance
#

What if the game is sometimes an acid trip, lol

#

Psychonauts intensifies

willow crypt
#

then it makes sense

#

Some games are intentionally visually noisy

new lemmino vid am i dreaming

Nexpo last week, Lemmino today.

This is a great time to be alive.

cinder vessel
bold crag
#

yes the wiki sometimes only tells half the story

#

for example the tech tree

#

that thing is not mentioned at all on the wiki

#

and the tutorial doesn't tell you much

austere lance
#

Downloaded Breathedge to try since it's on Game Pass now, hopefully it isn't partypoop

#

I'm a huge fan of HZ.

cinder vessel

one would hope, otherwise what do they have on you? 😂

cerulean kite
bold crag
#

oh hell yeah new stellaris update announced

snow zenith
#

Oh another one.

bold crag
#

not an expansion mind you

snow zenith
#

I love Paradox's games but fuck their business model.

bold crag
#

a free content update

#

some changes to old dlc some quality of life and a change to traditions

#

pretty good stuff

balmy plaza
charred badge
#

ok, well odyssey feels better than SC at least

#

a nice tutorial mission

bold crag
#

probably the best way to do it

#

having some person tell you how to, for example manage your jobs

#

because managing jobs is important and the tutorial doesn't tell you that

balmy plaza
#

Yeah it's always a lot easier to understand when it's someone else and not a tutorial

#

More straight to the point I guess

bold crag
#

its also a lot more precise because you can always ask a person to specify something in detail

#

oh a small piece of stellaris trivia

Fleets move at the speed of the fastest ship, not the slowest

you are welcome

cinder vessel
#

i feel like maybe i'm in the minority but, i'll take a well written tutorial or documentation over talking to people

bold crag
#

a tutorial is what i would call a good baseline

#

but i often find myself asking questions the tutorial simply doesn't cover

#

for example, does terraforming a planet remove the tree of life planetary feature?

#

it doesn't

#

or can you artificially expand the borders of a fallen empire in order to make it declare war on another empire

#

you can

cinder vessel
#

that's where really robust documentation like in Civ comes into play to me

bold crag
#

i just like to try shit out

#

stuff like, can i use the head of the prophet artifact to summon a fallen empire fleet for a war with that same fallen empire

#

no

#

and stellaris is great simply because it gives me the situation that make me have those questions

#

not so great at explaining

#

but great at asking questions

cinder vessel
#

yeah, see, the stuff that got at me was like basic UI stuff that just...Never really got explained at any point and there didn't seem to be a way to just mess with it, lol

bold crag
#

oh yeah stellaris has a shitton of ui

#

most of which you won't even need

#

and then there are things that are hella usefull but don't have a ui button

#

like the system search Funktion

#

it's the F key btw

#

some of the UI you will use like once in the entire game

#

like policies

#

and don't even get me started on the different map view modes

#

stellaris could really use some quality of life

snow zenith
#

Why have quality of life when you can have quality of death and murder millions.

#

I play Stellaris when I want to feel like Imperium of Man'ing.

charred badge
#

kinda neat that the mission control NPC was in a body

snow zenith
#

Oh did you buy Odyssey

charred badge
#

yeah

snow zenith

Better hope you can refund or you just got scammed.

#

who is going to click through to the dlc to post a positive review?

snow zenith
bold crag
#

mostly negative is a harsh verdict

cinder vessel
#

eh, it's paid content, so makes sense to me

snow zenith
#

Stopped playing with fleet baby carriers.

#

FrontierDev lost all my confidence and Elite's supposed to be their flagship title (they've been at it for decades ffs).

bold crag
#

i mean when you think about the fact that on steam mixed most of the time means the game really isn't that great

The actual game is still at mostly positive

15 minutes till playstation showcase

#

Can't wait to see what new stuff and games were gonna be getting

snow zenith

I don't wanna watch the showcase

#

It might make me finally budge and buy a PS for the exclusives

bold crag
#

i kinda wanna play risen 1 again

snow zenith
wary rapids

You need to

#

Some of these exclusives are super good.

#

:)

snow zenith

I wanna play Bloodborne & God of War.

wary rapids

Oh dude Bloodborne was siiiick

snow zenith

It's funny that Bloodborne is my favourite FromSoft game and I never played it

I just got really really really into the lore shit

That may be why

They have the best games. Period.

Nintendo also scalps a lot so

fuck it

wary rapids

Nintendo?

#

Nintendo isn't even in the race.

cinder vessel

and playstation has put self-destruct shit in their consoles so

snow zenith
#

Here's a 10 year old game - give me 60 dollars for it

#

nooo

cerulean kite
#

yeah lemme play a reskinned mario game again

wary rapids

snow zenith
#

I love Skyward Sword but I'm not giving you 60 dollars to play it on my Switch screw you

wary rapids
#

At least playstation shit is always something new and exciting.

#

I just can't stand Nintendo for that reason.

cinder vessel
#

how is ubi-style open worlds new & exciting 🤐

snow zenith
#

That being said:

cerulean kite
#

also their online services are shit from what im told

snow zenith
wary rapids
#

Hell have you seen the "new" switch?

snow zenith
#

Ok, movie with gf. Time to go, y'all have fun

wary rapids
#

It's literally the same as the original just with an OLED?!

cerulean kite
#

playstation has very cool non open world exclusives

wary rapids
#

The PSVita from 2011 had a fucking OLED.

#

Yeah just because it's open world doesn't mean it's always the same shit.

#

Open world has so much potential.

#

Look at Death Stranding, Horizon Zero Dawn, Days Gone.

cerulean kite
#

HZD very cool, open world, but not lame open world

cinder vessel
#

days gone, spider-man, horizon, infamous had those ubi-style vibes tho...

cerulean kite
#

Bloodborne, not open world, maybe best FromSoft game

bold crag
#

i mean ubisoft is rather notorious for doing the same stuff over and over again

cerulean kite
#

spiderman was awesome but kinda short

cinder vessel
#

also Sony just killed one of their more innovative studios 😔

wary rapids
#

I mean, you don't play much of these games then apparently....

cerulean kite
#

but also awesome

wary rapids
#

Ubisoft and Playstation Studios games are nothing alike.

#

Only thing that's good about Ubisoft is their graphics.

cerulean kite
#

ghost of tsushima a PS exclusive?

wary rapids
#

Thats about it

#

Yes.

cerulean kite
#

yeah

#

that game is phenomenal

wary rapids
#

Definitely.

cinder vessel
#

rip Japan Studio

wary rapids
#

Uncharted 4 was really good too.

austere lance
#

So far Breathedge is space Subnautica with potty humor, lol

wary rapids
#

Japan Studio deserved to get the boot.

cinder vessel
#

nope

wary rapids
#

It was a hot mess.

cerulean kite
#

love killing those... ottomans?

wary rapids
#

Made good games.

cinder vessel
#

Gravity Rush was wicked

wary rapids
#

But it was a mess

bold crag
#

i just wish exclusives would cease to exist

wary rapids
#

I don't tbh.

cinder vessel
#

Also Japan Studio literally helped on Bloodborne & a number of other titles

wary rapids
#

I love exclusive games.

#

helped

cerulean kite
#

Ratchet and Clank best platformer of all time?

wary rapids
#

Astro's Playroom was good too.

#

I love little astro.

cerulean kite
#

i need PS5 for new ratchet

bold crag
#

i mean making a game non exclusive doesn't diminish the game

wary rapids
#

The new ratchet was sick.

#

The SSD inside the ps5 is wicked.

cerulean kite
#

i still remember finally getting the RYNO in the first one

#

incredible

wary rapids
#

Having a game exclusive to playstation makes the platform that much better

cerulean kite
#

where tf is a new Sly Cooper?!

wary rapids
#

Good question.

bold crag
#

having the game non exclusive doesn't remove that game from the Plattform

wary rapids
#

Sony just squires Firesprite too. Yesterday I think.

#

Aquired

cerulean kite
#

how has it been so long since a new one was released? that series is far too good to be in limbo this long

wary rapids
#

Can't wait for some exclusive PVSR stuff.

cerulean kite
#

remember when xbox went with HDDVD? lmao gg xbox

bold crag
#

having non exclusive games just means you can choose your Plattform

wary rapids
#

To each their own.

#

If you don't like exclusives I'd say that's because the game isn't on your platform lol.

#

Consoles need something to be able to compete with PCMR.

cerulean kite
#

Halo is big xbox exclusive

#

SYKE

wary rapids
#

HA

cerulean kite
#

its on pc now anyone can play

wary rapids
#

Infinite is gonna be fucking ass.

cerulean kite
#

maybe lol

#

still gunna play it

bold crag
#

the selling point of consoles is their price to power ratio in my opinion

wary rapids
#

Nah it is.

#

The developers already said it was.

#

They basically said it's half finished as it is....but yet it's releasing in like 3 months lol.

bold crag
#

granted that kinda went downhill with scalping

cerulean kite
#

Halo BR def sounds ass tho

bold crag
#

but that's a new story

cerulean kite
#

it has an official release date now im pretty sure

wary rapids
#

December

#

#

I'm not a fan of Xbox myself.

#

Close enough.

cerulean kite
#

for sure

wary rapids
#

Xbox has done good things....but they just....don't seem to apply the same quality that playstation does.

cerulean kite
#

i got turned off from xbox early because the original controller was complete ass

wary rapids
#

I wonder if Herman Hulst is gonna show up for the showcase. I bet he will.

#

Jim Ryan will definitely show.

cerulean kite
#

wait speaking of PS exclusive platformers, Crash. checkmate haters

cinder vessel
#

wonder if they'll have anything to say about improved backwards compatibility

cerulean kite
#

CTR >> Mario Kart

wary rapids
#

Crash....man....

#

Those games are STILL fire.

#

Though it's not owned by playstation anymore.

#

Nor is it an exclusive...

cerulean kite
#

a studio put out a remastered CTR a year or two ago and its incredible

wary rapids
#

Wanna talk good games?

#

Hot wheels Unleashed.

cerulean kite
#

hmm thats sad

cinder vessel
#

or if they'll address the issue where once the CMOS dies & they shut down PSN access you lose a bunch of games

wary rapids
#

They already are.

#

And that's not an issue lol.

fast isle
wary rapids
#

Those batteries last like 20 years lmfao.

cerulean kite
cinder vessel
#

yeah but their PSN support is questionable

wary rapids
#

It's not.

cinder vessel
#

yes it is

wary rapids
#

The CMOS battery is only an issue IF PSN ever goes offline while the battery is dead.

cinder vessel
#

look at what they were about to do with the PS3

wary rapids
#

Which likely won't happen anytime soon.

cinder vessel
#

and Vita

wary rapids
#

Showcase is starting.

#

Damn Sony.

#

Fast af.

austere lance
#

@cinder vessel This the wrong chat to be arguing with Sony fans, lol

wary rapids
#

Nobody was.

#

Just stating facts

#

Those batteries last 20 years on average from the factory.

#

Sony already said they are aware of the issue and provided a public statement saying they are addressing it.

wary rapids
#

And it only becomes an issue IF PSN goes offline permaneny whole the battery is dead

#

So, what's the issue?

daring spear
#

Good thing S0ul was talking to Leon then huh shibapopcorn

#

Have you forgotten how uncomfortable the DS2 is?

wary rapids
#

Good thing this is a public chat then, huh?

#

It is a public chat, yes. But people can be talking to people specifically 🙂

Sony wants to “get on top of” the CMOS battery issue

Sony is reportedly working on a fix that could prevent the PS4 and PS5 consoles from becoming unusable due to the CMOS battery inside of them dying over time.

#

Just to name a few.

charred badge
#

The ps5 that they're phasing the disc drive out of?

winter yew
charred badge
#

What about an update for PS3/ps4?

winter yew
#

so there are people that are on my level with sony

wary rapids
#

It states PS4 in the article....

winter yew
#

wow im not alone here

wary rapids
#

PS3 is almost 20 years old.

#

It's time for it to be cut loose.

charred badge
#

So? Discs shouldn't have drm

bold crag
#

these articles are from late April,
i don't know anything about that issue, but has it been fixed?

wary rapids
#

No idea.

#

Gonna have to do your own research there..

#

That was just from 30 seconds of googling to provide clarity that they are aware of the problem.

#

I just don't find it fair for people to expect Sony t address every single little individual problem as soon as it shows up and please 100% of their usebase.

Rubs me the wrong way.

#

Best way to address this is to simply educate. Nothing more

bold crag
#

hmm i looked at it a bit, the issue in itself doesn't sound fixable since those batteries drain eventually

#

but Sony could probably patch it so that the games work independently from the psn network

#

but i am no expert on that

wary rapids
#

GTA 5

#

Sony istg

#

Get out of bed with rockstar.

#

I hate seeing this logo

#

March...2022???

#

Uh ..what?

bold crag
#

its not really an individual problem, that problem will effect 100 percent of the ps3 for example, if they don't break beforehand

also educating is not really the way to go there, since even if you know that issue you can't really stop it

wary rapids
#

I think you mean November 2021.

winter yew
#

November for GTA:O standalone I think.

willow crypt
#

holy shit Guardians of the Galaxy looks great

#

the ship combat looks nice

#

kinda disappointing GTA 5 is getting remastered before RDR2

wary rapids
#

^

#

I'd prefer RDR2.

#

But you know rockstar....

willow crypt
#

yeah.

wary rapids
#

Death loop though!

#

Can't fucking wait.

willow crypt
#

👌

#

wonder if Insomniac will show anything

#

hoping for Resistance 4

wary rapids
#

Probably not.

#

They put a lot of resources into Ratchet, they may not have anything to show yet.

willow crypt
#

they always surprise us with new stuff, i wouldn't be surprised. always got interesting projects in development

#

like VR stuff as well

I might get around to it at some point. It never looked like something I'd enjoy.

wary rapids

Me either.

#

It's sick though.

willow crypt

I enjoyed the new one, but I felt it may have been too long

#

I'm the only one in the world with that opinion

#

wait what's the wolverine thing

#

OH what the heck

#

@wary rapids Insomniac is doing a Wolverine game

#

somehow i missed that

winter yew

How they do this?

#

Crazy.

willow crypt

i agree

Spiderman AND Wolverine.

I hope the devs aren't crunching.

I bet they are though.

Insomniac is an amazing game studio.

People in the ps5 discord are going nuts with hype right now.

#

Dunno what your on about lol

willow crypt

they've got some solid games on the way

charred badge

I just want their controllers

winter yew

all solid games that im not interested in

wary rapids

God of War alone could of carried this entire stream.

winter yew
#

gt7 is going to be the best out of the bunch hands down

#

only game ip left redeeming for the system

willow crypt
#

the car game?

winter yew
#

Hopefully they learned from GT Sport and don't do them things.

willow crypt
#

🏎️

winter yew
#

Yes Zug, the 🏎️ game.

#

gt sport is just gt7 prologue

#

That's a great way to look at it.

#

aka not full game

plain remnant
#

wow so the PS5 will finally have games

#

😎

winter yew
#

they got some games but no stock

#

oh no

willow crypt

that's usually how it is with every system launch

winter yew

that infamous soyboy playstation emoji

ONE GAME
I DON'T KNOW WHY
I BOUGHT A PS5 WITH NO GAMES TO BUY

winter yew
winter yew
#

but then again sony and microsoft has bad launch lineups

willow crypt

barely anything redeeming

#

It's definitely a weird cycle for games in general at the minute.

plain remnant
#

KEEP THAT IN MIND THEY DESIGNED THE DRIVES TO IMPROVE LOADING TIMES THATS ALL
I
KNOW

winter yew
#

^ Something even PC doesn't have yet.

#

First time I think that's ever happened.

#

load times lol

winter yew
#

oh please a pc can do that easily

#

all sony has is propiretary tech that nobody else has

#

DirectStorage isn't a thing for PC yet. XB Series and PS5 have that beat for a quick minute.

winter yew
#

Yep, it's coming.

#

direct storage is slower than what sony has but like thats going to mater

wary rapids

Ps5 had like 8 launch titles...?

defending a peice of plastic really is something that you need to touch grass over

Can't be a meme, it'd be posted in the meme channel if it was a meme

wary rapids

If you don't like sum, at least give a good reason why.

winter yew

i got both a switch and series s and i enjoy them both equally

I don't even know what it is

winter yew

i dont need to get a ps5 for a remake

plain remnant
winter yew
#

so?

willow crypt

wouldn't be worth getting a console for 1 game

#

it is worth getting for VR

plain remnant
winter yew
#

i dont have to run it at that

#

i can leave it at vanilla settings and be happy with it

plain remnant
#

I install graphics mods to every old game

so they look less early 2000s

most graphical mods look like garbage

Just don't mess it up

winter yew

sony makes me sad cus they enabled a sizable chunk of their fandom to be toxic towards others and i was one such target

snow zenith

KOTOR 1 and 2 were great

#

Just mess it up like Shadow of Revan did

willow crypt

What does sony have to do with toxic little kids?

They're everywhere....not just on PS.

"enabled"

"sizeable chunk"

It just seems worse because the MAU for playstation is double what it is for Xbox and Nintendo.

winter yew
#

its a minority who lurks in the darkness

wary rapids
#

MAU for Xbox is around 40~, PlayStation is like 115~.

wary rapids
#

Not including GP obviously.

winter yew
#

thats childs play mate

#

360 lobbies were just training wheels for what i had to deal with

wary rapids
#

Probably your own fault.

winter yew
#

most likely yea

wary rapids

I've been on playstation since the original PS and I've never had an issue with peeps

There was two.

#

I play on steam, but I mostly play on PS.

#

Dunno why, it's just who I am I guess.

winter yew
#

That's fair and totally respectable.

#

i play steam mostly but i then use my switch or xbox for anything that isnt on pc or has a botched pc release

#

but for those who thinks i dont like sony its only the current i dont like as old sony was great

cerulean kite
#

i wonder what sega would be like if theyd survived

winter yew
#

their fate was sealed

#

they would have still fallen

#

nintendo just had a bigger market that sega dreamed of having

#

also out of all their consoles they were unsuccessful in getting one to succeed in more than 1 region

cerulean kite
#

i know but more, what if

#

poor dreamcast

#

it was goodish

winter yew
#

too little too late

#

right system at the wrong time

#

also well ahead of its time

cerulean kite

wasnt it a little early for what it did?

winter yew

i still fire up mine every so often and play online

cerulean kite

or am i misremembering?

the system was near flawless

cerulean kite

had that game where you lived a dudes life and could race forklifts

winter yew

me too

#

cib mint condition

but its not my kind of game so i never got too far into it

winter yew
# cerulean kite wasnt it a little early for what it did?

first to have on disc dlc, one of only two systems with a screen in the controller, internet out of the box, rock solid copy protection (sans mil-cd support), only system where all forms of genre played well on the system and didnt favor a particular one per hardware

plain remnant

What does SEGA even do nowadays

plain remnant

other than more bad Sonic games

snow zenith

it's 2003 all over again

Sega won't last

the sega you knew of died

I'm shocked they've managed to survive this long

winter yew

no literally

wary rapids

Their revenue declines each and every year.

the ceo died in 2001 just days before the system was discontinued

sega owns the studio behind endless right

Sega doesn't really own shit nowadays.

the sega you have now is sammy

prob still in better shape than the shitshow that was that new atari

their arcades were god tier

Sony pretty much murdered everyone.

Nintendo too.

winter yew
# wary rapids When Sony came in....

sony legit tried to strike a deal with sega for them to make hardware and software for the ps1 but the asshats over on the japanese side was so determined that the saturn will sell that they declined their offer

plain remnant

And then there was macrohard

wary rapids
#

Yeah, and we saw how that went apparently.

cerulean kite
#

saturn had some fun games?

winter yew
#

i love the saturn

wary rapids
#

And then Nintendo tried to screw Sony...and once again we saw how that went.

winter yew
#

it only succeeded in japan

cerulean kite
#

the one with the bug

wary rapids
#

Oh yeah the Saturn was great

winter yew
#

failed everywhere else

wary rapids
#

But I meant for the company lol.

cerulean kite
#

gek?

#

yeah the only saturn i ever saw was my cousins

winter yew
#

i have 2 saturn units

plain remnant
#

Meanwhile me, a zoomer who only ever owned an Xbox 360 and only used it until he got a better PC

winter yew
#

also only system where i ever imported out of japan

wary rapids
#

As much as some people hate to acknowledge it. PlayStation is one of the world's leader in gaming at this point...

#

Thanks to Nintendo I guess?

winter yew
#

thus why i said earlier that its not the system with the best specs that pulls ahead

wary rapids
#

Yeah definitely.

winter yew
#

on paper the saturn was better on the ps1

wary rapids
#

Specs don't matter anyway, software does

#

At least now.
