You arent entirely wrong Leon. Most mmo are fairly bland

However, the delivery is even more stale then normal in NW.

At least in some games, quests have a certain level of variabilty or something to hide how stale they are.

NW feels oddly like EQ1

At least early eq1, even eq1 sorta broke free of the stagnant quests later on

I started playing it earlier today & it's pretty cool, & the art is killer, least imo

[austere lance]

Alien Isolation devs should have started working on a game of The Thing when Among Us got popular, lol. Woulda been lit

[cinder vessel]

Imagine if Evolve hadn't fumbled so hard, lol

[austere lance]

Oof

[cinder vessel]

i know that's way different but still

[austere lance]

Funny part is Evolve would have probably done fine if it released nowadays, lol. People like quirky hero shooters and monsters and the tech would be better cuz it wouldn't have been restrained by original PS4/Xbone hardware

[cinder vessel]

Gnosia is pretty great tho for ppl like myself that don't care for multiplayer. I also really dig that one of the characters is a straight up gray alien yet insists they're human/not the enemy alien

And at least so far, in many of my loops, they haven't been the enemy! lol

Real time. It just finished filling and taking it out on it's maiden voyage.

[broken prairie]

[cinder vessel]

...fuck that

in other news, why does this Hot Wheels game look so good?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx0WNh4b1Kk

[plucky mesa]

Based on a huge update 1 year ago I'd say yes.

[proper drift]

No patience, huh? I was doing other things while waiting. Like salvaging ships.

[cinder vessel]

I have patience for real things

Not arbitrarily defined game mechanisms

That needn't be set to take actual hours, lmao

Thankfully i imagine you can mod that to be practical

Space Engineers, right?

[broken prairie]

the real question is how long the fuel lasts

[cinder vessel]

that is a good question tbh

[proper drift]

This wasn't arbitrary. It was a decision on my part. This thing has ten - 15 million liter hydrogen tanks. It takes a while to fill them and it will take a long, long time to empty them.

[broken prairie]

yeah cause its modular right, so u choose your fuel time and size, and i imagine it can be used before it fully fills

logically

[cinder vessel]

oh fuck nvm i hadn't hit the end part of this where unlocking cars is through lootboxes and they may as well have it set to slap microtransactions in at some point 🤢

[proper drift]

Yeah. I just wanted to wait. I mean I could have flown the ship with just 5% fuel in the tanks.

[cinder vessel]

it's scifi tho, shouldn't there be like machines you can build to dump in fuel faster?

[broken prairie]

u playing solo? i remember trying that game a little before but it didnt stick, was a while back tho

[proper drift]

Yes. I could build additional fuel tanks at my base and once they are full, I could refill ship tanks very quickly. That's one of the things on my "to-do" list.

[cinder vessel]

that woulda been my priority before the fuelchomper 😂

[broken prairie]

I imagine its some kinda mining rig you built?

[proper drift]

Well, resources aren't all in one spot. I needed a ship to go and get them. Ice (which is used to make H2 and O2, for one thing.

The small miner is really good, but can only gather so much at a time. This big ship, which I call The Gorilla Transport. Can gather 500 times more at once.

I've got ice, now I'm getting uranium and magnesium for power and for ammo.

Pirates are a thing in this game as well.

So, you've got to protect yourself.

[cinder vessel]

can you program the ships to run on their own, even going so far as escorts?

[proper drift]

I need to make an LCD panel with a gorilla and maybe some stylized text.

[proper drift]

Not with vanilla. I'm sure there are mods available to do that, though. There are mods for everything.

Vanilla does have autopilot, but it's very basic and limited.

[cinder vessel]

Games like this always confound me when they don't provide the means to automate early game stuff that you'll probably have had your fill of by the time you get to bigger, more elaborate builds

might be silliness on my part but that seems like the more intuitive progression curve to an individual builder type game. Learn the basic resources by manually gathering & moving them for awhile, then set up machines later to do that for you so you can focus on bigger goals, & so on

[proper drift]

To be fair, most people start on a planet where things are easier and progress is much slower. I choose to start in one of the hardest starts, in a crappy little pod in space. Your progress has to be much faster just to survive.

[cinder vessel]

Mm, but you see what I'm getting at with the programmable ship stuff, yeah?

[proper drift]

Yes. But, as I said, there are mods and scripts that you can download from the workshop which fills a lot of the gaps. The devs know this and encourage modding since there are folks out there that do things they never even dreamed of. The vanilla game is fun and you can do a lot with it. But the modded game is incredible with all that you can do.

I mean, the game has direct links to the Steam Workshop built into it.

I've uploaded a couple ships to the workshop as well.

The small miner and this big ship, I designed both. I'm a little proud of them. I haven't uploaded these to the workshop yet, but I will at some point.

[cinder vessel]

Yeah, it's not a prod at this specific game tbh, more aimed at broader builder-style games

One of the things that drew me to Autonauts is that it recognized this to a degree and made programmable gathering/crafting processes the heart of it

Something assembly-line games like Factorio & Satisfactory tend to miss is the meta-assembly of the lines once you know how to arrange them

[proper drift]

I've played Satisfactory and I like it. I'm going to wait a while to play it again. I want more updates to be in place before I have another go.

Oh crap! Color change!

[cinder vessel]

Was the same with Satisfactory, played it waaay early & could see the appeal but wanted to wait till more of the parts were in place

[snow zenith]

Ayyy

Grats on Legend @proper drift

[proper drift]

[cinder vessel]

Aah, so I just reviewed a video I had pop up in my feed of a self-expanding Factorio factory and...It uses mods. Thought it might.

In case anyone's curious:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oP-jeBaPjmw

Not that I have anything against mods, mind, just that when I'm looking into this sort of thing I'm more interested in the game's vanilla capabilities

Mainly in the event of updates breaking mods & modders moving on to other stuff

Garbage game, stay away. It’s a mobile port reskinned in Unreal Engine and the trailers do a good job of making the game look way more fast paced and exciting than it actually is.

The shift to "Fruity Loops" DJ's too I imagine is caught up in this somehow. They call themselves real DJ's but in reality their music is just played through a laptop.
I think a DJ stood in front of a crowd just queuing songs in Winamp could be a funny sight to see but not if I was paying money.

[dry copper]

I have family who DJ. I don't see the appeal to faking it.

Would be like fake flute playing

Katy Perry fails at life tho

i would rather fail miserably a million times, trying to actually dj

repeat the same mix a million times if i had to until i got it right

some club djs just stick a playlist on

and 'DJ'

[dry copper]

Cost of hiring pop star: Hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Time to value ratio of hearing pre-recorded bullshit: $1.50.
Watching their career suffer permanent damage: Priceless.

[finite hazel]

just stick a playlist on
i mean, it sure depends on what kind of event we're in, but i rather have someone driving nails in my ears because they're still learning or just nervous than getting that done to me

that --kzzt-- flies in a bar or something, where there's no event scheduled, or there's not even a dj booth - like background music in elevators or something

or at home, when you're just chilling with friends

personally, most of my friends djs as well

so we never run out of djs

versus, back to back, whatever

just a bunch of music addicts

Sadly can't get into gacha games but I love Genshin's atmosphere

andit's just

wholesome

[winter yew]

Yeah the music n atmosphere is why I stick around, gameplay is fun too
But Gacha can be dangerous
Genshin is a bit forgiving with their setup, but its still gambling to have a better experience

Their 2.2 stream is today, so I get too see what I'm gambling for next I've already preloaded 100 dollars worth of wishes because I'm an irresponsible addict

I'm hoping they'll rerun Tartaglia

Is outriders like division gameplay in space?

[willow crypt]

Nah Outriders is more linear

while division feels more open

it has a pretty unique mechanic where you basically heal by damaging the enemies up close or with certain perks. Combat feels great and the environments are interesting, although sometimes it falls flat.

The dialogue is not great

but it’s fun

[austere lance]

Yeah

[willow crypt]

only because of the use of cover

otherwise not really

Going to watch American Gods. See if it's worth any time.

[austere lance]

From what I've heard, first season good then it all goes to shit

[cinder vessel]

y'know what's really rude, when a piece of media kills a character you like & leaves only ones you don't like 😩

[austere lance]

Ah yes, 90% of the reason most people stopped giving a shit about The Walking Dead

[cinder vessel]

mm, i thought it was because they turned zombie horror into extended human soap opera with a side of zombies

really tho, i'm still surprised that series has had as much longevity as it has

[austere lance]

Me too, everybody I know who used to be interested in it dropped it 3 seasons ago 😆

[bold crag]

i think its really in character for a zombie show to keep running evnthough it should have died a few seasons ago

great attention to detail

[austere lance]

[meager panther]

why does he look like modern day nero

[dry copper]

I am not impressed at all with American Gods. It feels like a writer decided to steal and mash every mythos they could into the narrative with no clear direction in a bid to capitalize on the ideas without any effort made whatsoever to tell a story worth a damn.

Mind you, I'm only three episodes in.

This constant consternation that seems to propel the story forward is an ambiguous disjointed mess of blow

I've written more compelling stories in role playing games

I think I'm angry for having wasted three hours of my life watching this shit.

[fervent fog]

Lmfao

[meager panther]

i have watched worse stuff and wasted time

atleast you get to see the production value

[crystal gyro]

Can't speak for the show but I do recall the book starting kind of slow for me and not really taking off until just about halfway in.

[dry copper]

Not sure I trust this review on steam for New World

[willow crypt]

informative

[winter yew]

Should be an auto remove thing for dumb reviews like that.

X number of "hide review" triggers a manual review and then human decides that it's dogshit.

Annoyingly, the rewards given to it says that won't happen.

Achievable only if they left a review before seeking a refund on a product, iirc

[meager panther]

Is the game any good

All i an seeing is a bunch of upset folks about how its a second job

[willow crypt]

most of those games become second jobs

[sleek cloud]

it's very good and i'm not a big fan of MMOs

looks good too

I have a couple on Kindle

really depends on the illustrations tbh

some art styles just won't click

but i enjoy more unique graphic novel art styles that have color

Biomutant at least got its big QOL update before devs went dark, Necromunda didn't get shit

which could mean some bigger things are close

Studio execs are rushing tf out of games this year, it's weird. Like, they just need to acknowledge that 2020 doesn't exist and that every single game made during that time needs an extra year of development to make up for it

AA/AAA industry should have been dead quiet this year, barring the few studios that felt comfortable with how development was going (Double Fine, Insomniac, etc). Literally everyone else shoulda gotten an extra year of development

"We're sorry you had to try and develop big-ass games with your two kids and dog harassing you every 20 minutes for A YEAR, please take another year to get actual work done on your games now that things are normal-ish"
-What execs should have been saying all this year

i wanted to get the new surviving mars dlc, and then i saw the reviews

@keen dome Starting New World as a New Player

I now need to find a server....

Apparently I'm in queue....

Aaaaand timed out

[keen dome]

Oof

[willow crypt]

good news

the player character in Starfield will most likely not have voice acting

[winter yew]

gimmie Starfield now

[austere lance]

Gimme Chorus

[cinder vessel]

gimme time

[willow crypt]

sorry Leon, that will not be possible

I can give you some lack of time

[idle saffron]

I have enough already

[willow crypt]

nice

same

[dry copper]

holy shit

Look at that queue line up

Imagine going to login and seeing "You are 1000+ in line to login"

Can you not change worlds after setting up a character in one, even if you could never log in?

Every single time I tried to log in on any server it times out

Now I see a World is under maintenance on them

@keen dome Were you able to login today?

Quickly closing in on the refund window.

Yeah I don't have the patience for this incompetence. Can't even log in to see if the game is worth playing.

[broken prairie]

its really your generic game with a bit of new fluff

[dry copper]

I'm watching a streamer playing it rn, while I've joined a half dozen servers that have every last one of them put me into queue (when they had no queue to start with), and then timed out.

[willow crypt]

why are so many people playing it?

[dry copper]

drought

[austere lance]

Free copy of the original Ghost Recon https://register.ubisoft.com/ghostrecon-giveaway/en-US

[charred badge]

[charred badge]

queue time: 2 hours

Lol

[charred badge]

Has Josh strife hayes commented on it post-launch?

[austere lance]

It's actually pretty cool, came out back in '01. Very very different from the shit Ubi has pumped out since

[snow zenith]

Authentic Amazon experience.

[charred badge]

Oh it's not the BR?

[austere lance]

No, it's the very first Ghost Recon

Back when it was a tactical FPS

It's also the only one Tom Clancy actually had anything to do with, Red Storm Entertainment was his game company

[snow zenith]

'member when Ubisoft was good.

[austere lance]

Idk, I just think it's an interesting piece of gaming history and it's cool that it's free to claim rn

[snow zenith]

I think they're possibly the worst out there, they just lack so much originality and vision.
All their titles could have generic ass "War Shooter: Gun Game" or "Blade Master: Stealth RPG" and it'd have the same effect as the flashy franchises they utterly ruined.

Oh well, thanks for GR I guess

[balmy plaza]

Don't know how Im going to wait for Dec 8th

[snow zenith]

What's December 8th?

[balmy plaza]

Also can't decide if I'm going to be playing campaign or multiplayer first

[balmy plaza]

Halo

[snow zenith]

Oh.

I haven't played Halo since Reach back in 2010.

I need to buy the MCC.

[balmy plaza]

MCC is very good now

And halo infinite multiplayer so far is the best since 3, easily

Imo

But also to a lot of other people too

[cinder vessel]

drought?? lmao

i guess maybe in the MMO genre, but there's been so many interesting games this past month

[snow yoke]

@snow zenith

[snow zenith]

Why does that look like a bad American "comedy" movie.

[snow yoke]

Because thats what it is

[snow zenith]

I

see

[cinder vessel]

lol

I can't remember the last comedy movie I watched tbh

[charred badge]

It is a tad galling to see a game about near-future scifi folks fighting space zombies get tagged with the name of the guy that wrote The Hunt For Red October

[balmy plaza]

I thought the guy in blue looks like Gus Johnson

[snow zenith]

I can't unsee it now.

What have you done.

[charred badge]

The author that was notorious for having spent zero time in the military, yet making so many accurate guesses that the government thought he had a top secret informant network

[snow zenith]

Tom 🅱️lancy

[charred badge]

He did put out sequels faster than EA, tho

[austere lance]

God DAMN the combat in Scarlet Nexus slaps mad hard when you play as the girl, especially from mid game onward

[snow zenith]

What's Scarlet Nexus?

[austere lance]

Nier but more anime and with waaaaay cooler combat and enemy types

It's cool as fuck

[snow zenith]

[austere lance]

Story is........ok, the world and combat are

[snow zenith]

Looks cool.

[austere lance]

Enemies have Tim Burton vibes, lol

More importantly, every enemy type fights differently and has different weaknesses. You get lit powers to use on em too

[charred badge]

this looks very soul sacrifice, hah

[austere lance]

I highly recommend it, it's

God I love Saints Row character customization 🤣

[cinder vessel]

@austere lance did you ever check out Code Vein aka Anime Souls?

[austere lance]

Yeah, was boring

Scarlet Nexus>anime Souls

[cinder vessel]

well from the sounds of it they just play very differently, so...lol

Although didn't you randomly get into Dark Souls...3, a bit ago?

[austere lance]

Yee, was

[dry copper]

Finally got New World to work...the server I'm on everyone's so busy running around, the only conversations happening in local area or global are nitwits swinging their epeens around

Gotta love sensitive egos

[cinder vessel]

I'm surprised you didn't go ahead & refund it tbh

[sleek cloud]

not a big fan of MMOs but having fun with New World i must admit

[cinder vessel]

Are there not other open world RPGs with action combat & crafting? 🤔

If not, there's a good opportunity for some dev studio to make something for ppl that like those aspects of some MMOs but not the MMO part

I feel like there probably are but none immediately come to mind, which is...Weird.

The closest that does come to mind is maybe Kenshi, but its difficulty curve is much too high by comparison

[austere lance]

There's plenty, lol

[austere lance]

Dragons Dogma 😆

[cinder vessel]

well, what i mean is, crafting similar-ish to whatever ppl are enjoying in MMOs

'cause presumably there's something distinct enough that draws people to their approaches to those systems over just playing something solo

[austere lance]

They like grinding for loot or materials to make loot, lol

Which is in plenty of other games, obviously. But they like doing it in an online world full of other people doing it too

[cinder vessel]

except the oddballs that don't yet do anyway

[sleek cloud]

Kenshi can be a great game

massive world and a game where anything can happen out of nowhere

[cinder vessel]

too bad it's a massive grindfest by default

can't remember if you can dig into the settings & revise that or not

If you could, I don't think it was in the demo version

[sleek cloud]

there's tonnes of mods for it nowadays that can drastically change things up

last i heard they're working on a Kenshi 2

[cinder vessel]

think so, maybe, yeah

but also if you're gonna mod it into a different experience probs best to just find a game that does what you're wanting by default & possibly better imo but 🤷

[sleek cloud]

thing is, there probably isn't a game like Kenshi, it's quite a unique game

especially with how hardcore it can be

[cinder vessel]

aka time-consuming, but yeah. Lots of games that try to do stuff like it does always veer off into that, imo, frustratingly tedious direction.

EYE: Divine Cybermancy is a bit similar. Unique, some interesting ideas, but omg is it riddled with frustrating design decisions

also stuff like X3/X4

[sleek cloud]

they remind me of Avorion

full customizable space game

to the point where your ship starts off as a block and you build it to how you want it

[primal loom]

Avorion is a cool indie game

[full pivot]

I got it haven't gotten around to trying it yet; story of my life xD

[inland grail]

Hey guys

Do u know if the BF2042 is available on game pass

[sleek cloud]

as far as i can tell, not at the beginning

or this "The PC community only need to subscribe for £7.99 per month for game pass and this will give them an EA Play membership at no added cost"

https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2021/10/05/battlefield-2042-open-beta-early-access-start-time/

gonna have to clear some space on the m.2

[inland grail]

Did one game on it

Im hooked

[sleek cloud]

Awesome can't wait to try it out

[winter yew]

My problem with modern fps shooters is when they look too good with all the lighting and high resolution everything exploding in my vision, I can’t see shit and end up dying a hundred times before I ever see the other players

[inland grail]

welp i didnt see that problem playing BF2042

[winter yew]

Last BF I played was 3

And I was just overwhelmed with everything

The only level I really liked was that big open desert with tanks

Started with an S if I recall

Was less visually overwhelming compared to some of the levels with bushes and trees and buildings and tons of shadows and shit everywhere making it impossible to see

[inland grail]

i love caspian border

[winter yew]

Bandar Desert is the one I’m thinking of

[finite hazel]

https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Sony-More-Open-Source-2021

sony realizing it

better to be more OSS friendly, than the other way around

[vital hedge]

cool

[dry copper]

It's funny. I left feedback before logging off New World yesterday, chewing them out royally for the stability of their servers...That I was 10 mins away from a refund before the game finally let me log in....I wonder if the update today is the standard shitshow the game has been going through since launch

Allegedly servers are down for maintenance.

https://www.newworld.com/en-us/news/articles/update-1-0-1

[meager panther]

I am seeing so many posts/news about it

Is it launched recently like this week or is this some marketing push from amazon

[dry copper]

No idea. I played it for four hours last night. It wasn't horrible. The player base were kind of annoying but like any community it has its gems.

I found a dress and was walking around the only man in a dress....until I found one other dude equally mental

We had fun

I was also the only one I met that used a microphone instead of text

Game has directional audio

Major leak of Twitch & related property data today: https://www.theverge.com/2021/10/6/22712250/twitch-hack-leak-data-streamer-revenue-steam-competitor

No user credentials or payment cards in the data but it contains:

• 3 years worth of details regarding creator payouts on Twitch.
• The entirety of twitch.tv's source, “with commit history going back to its early beginnings.”
• Source code for the mobile, desktop, and video game console Twitch clients.
• Code related to proprietary SDKs and internal AWS services used by Twitch.
• An unreleased Steam competitor from Amazon Game Studios.
• Data on other Twitch properties like IGDB and CurseForge.
• Twitch’s internal security tools.

The three years of creator payouts is fascinating... It's speculated to just be subscriber/twitch direct payments and not even account for tips made with Bits. In the three year period (2019 to present) Critical Role was the top earner with $9,626,712.16 paid out.

Again, that's Twitch payments only and not even including tips. Factor in tips, sponsorship, merch, and other streams and jesus...

[snow zenith]

(Critical Role deserves it).

[sleek cloud]

better change my password when i get chance

[proven basalt]

Good idea. The motivation seems to be harming Twitch and Amazon (was tagged with #TwitchDoBetter or whatever the big hashtag is) but it's marked part one so user data may come out later.

Good time to enable 2FA as well.

Off to a good start with Cybersecurity Awareness Month... yeesh

[covert vault]

Have y'all seen Starbase? Looks like it has potential

https://store.steampowered.com/app/454120/Starbase/

[proven basalt]

It has been on my watch list for a while and Steam has it in my things I'd probably like profile due to other games I play. Mixed reviews though... For now Space Engineers seems like the better value in the same rough category.

Some of the brief gameplay I've watch also looked a little too much like busy work for my liking.

"pick up laser tool from across the hanger bay, point laser at 6 marked spots on the ship for 30 seconds each to "dismantle" the ship" and such

The scrapping mechanics and animations I saw actually reminded me of harvesting minerals / plants in NMS lol

I haven't read all of them or watched the series, but from what I remember of the illustrations, they nailed the mood and atmosphere in that shot above

[winter yew]

I watched Season 1 on a whim and and ended up binge watching. Such a nice show.

I didn't know there were books, I may have to hunt them out.

[proven basalt]

They're comic books. You can get trade paperbacks that collect 5 or 6 issues (there are hardcover version of the trades as well)--there are 6 in the main series + two standalone story collections to date. Or there are hardcover "master editions" that collect two full arcs each--there are three to date.

Follows the same publishing as most comic backs: "floppies" or single issues -> "trades" that collect up to 6 singles -> master/omnibus editions.

It's worth a read if you like comics / graphic novels or if you like the show and want an intro to comics.

[willow crypt]

watching Far Cry 6 reviews is funny

Game Informer: best Far Cry yet

Skill Up: You've already played this

I assume Skill Up is right
