Looks quite like the scene from the first game.

[dry copper]

Kevin is Evil

Guy hit kevin in the face with a bottle

[cerulean kite]

[snow zenith]

General Kenobi, we've been waiting for you

Perchance waiting for you

[gaunt dust]

only 6 episodes tho so i hope they dont fuck around with filler like with the other shows

[cerulean kite]

yes, and im guessing theyre a non tradeable reward sooo.. how to move from inventory to trash

[snow zenith]

lol

[cerulean kite]

maybe itll be tradeable

[snow zenith]

just archive them

[cerulean kite]

[cerulean kite]

I MEANT TO TELL YOU

BLACK FENNEC

but very very soon

[snow zenith]

I'm exactly

I have*

Zero disposable money atm

So hope it's not until next week

lol

[cerulean kite]

i am wondering if i can buy and give to u, or send u credit, hmm

why are so many games so bad at allowing friends to give friends credits

[snow zenith]

idk

[cerulean kite]

like

do they not want money?

[snow zenith]

but dw I should get paid next week

So hopefully

It's not until then

[cerulean kite]

yeah

it may also be possible for me to trade you credits for one of your items, and then we could trade back when you get paid

if necessary

[snow zenith]

[tame cairn]

his jedi mullet is gone

[snow zenith]

I prefer the vocal edit of brown paper bag

[winter yew]

Step to the rhythm made out of brown paper.

[silver sparrow]

Let the microphone burn when I speak

I love how the track is at like 80 bpm and then they quadruple time it

@snow zenith did you just get the game or did you just make a new account?

[snow zenith]

Been playing for about 2 or 3 years

[snow zenith]

Too tired to VC lmao, I'll just slur

as in

my speech will be slurred

[cerulean kite]

you good just wanted to offer since i wasnt on ps

[snow zenith]

ye

[cerulean kite]

excellent game for u

[snow zenith]

Haven't played in about a month or so 😛

[shadow tartan]

https://youtu.be/2rn-vMbFglI

[cerulean kite]

still on M&K?

[snow zenith]

Yep

Controller should get in next week but I always played RL with M&K

Okay one more match then I'm gonna snooze

[cerulean kite]

cool cool

[tame cairn]

code

do you know how early you can get all your lightsaber parts?

[paper pasture]

@snow zenith I'm diamond/champ, been aying since the game came out. Sometime soon we play

Ayyyyyyyyyy

[shadow tartan]

Yeah Uncle Code, make us lightsabers

voom voom

[tame cairn]

yeah tell me where the lightsaber parts are

(no actually though how early can you get all them)

i only have the energy cell and a crystal

[snow zenith]

Think I peaked at diamond

[snow zenith]

I'm very confused

@cerulean kite ggs, sorry it was so short

fun games tho

[tame cairn]

kotor 2

[snow zenith]

OH

[tame cairn]

yes yes

[snow zenith]

Shit man I don't remember lmao

[cerulean kite]

its totally cool, a couple games is cool with me

[tame cairn]

goshhh

well

ill figure it out

[snow zenith]

I should replay KOTOR soon™️

before the remastered comes out so at least the first one

[tame cairn]

yeah never played 2 😅

[snow zenith]

2 is the best imo

Hits you with the deep questions

Ty Kreia

[tame cairn]

i hear its better to many people

lol fr

[snow zenith]

KOTOR 1 is traditional (very good) hero story

[shadow tartan]

@snow zenith get it on mobile so you can play on toilet

[snow zenith]

lmao

[tame cairn]

sounds like a plan

[snow zenith]

KOTOR 2 takes Star Wars seriously

Ty Chris Avellone for hating the concept of the Force

[tame cairn]

i love older games

i feel like they really put their heart into the story of older games

instead of 4k graphics trying to be perfected

and the best part

[shadow tartan]

KOTOR was pre HD days

[tame cairn]

half second loading screens

[shadow tartan]

Before even 720p

On original XBOX anyway

[tame cairn]

yeah you can tell

the cutscenes

480p

[shadow tartan]

It was so good

[tame cairn]

pretty much

[shadow tartan]

https://loderunnerwebgame.com/game/

This is the first game I ever played

Because my dad was obsessed with it

[austere lance]

KotOR and KotOR 2 are godly

[tame cairn]

i dont remember my first game but i know my first system was NES

then ps2

it was my dads

[coarse swift]

kotor just wasnt for me

Didnt enjoy the combat

[willow crypt]

how’s your thursday goin Ceryn

[coarse swift]

[silver sparrow]

Awful

If he didn’t like kotor

[coarse swift]

I wanted to, dont get me wrong

[tame cairn]

its turn based pretty much so

i see why

a lot of people dont like that kind of game

not really turn based

but ye

its odd

[silver sparrow]

Ok np

[tame cairn]

im in the middle of playing kotor 2 rn

[silver sparrow]

is this the game were playing this week?

[willow crypt]

nope i’m on Elex 2, definitely gonna play it in the next couple months though

[cerulean kite]

oh ok good, i have too many games to play atm

[winter yew]

reminds me of horizon forbidden west too much

[shadow tartan]

https://youtu.be/5fmj5TWxxog

[tame cairn]

what

lmao

[winter yew]

seeing Submerged: Hidden Depths

looks to me like Horizon: Forbidden West

Hidden Depths and Forbidden West just ring together

[shadow tartan]

Forbidden Depths

Hidden West

[winter yew]

also both main artwork involve the focus character intensely staring outwards

[winter yew]

on a very colorful background

[tame cairn]

sequel too

[winter yew]

see!

[tame cairn]

but everything besides overgrown place and the name sounding alike a bit

thats as far as it goes

[shadow tartan]

All games are the same

[tame cairn]

no 🤬

[shadow tartan]

You use something to control things on a screen

[tame cairn]

lol

[shadow tartan]

Some kind of peripheral

Colours and shapes appear on the screen

[tame cairn]

well, you are right

[shadow tartan]

I know

Jk

[tame cairn]

🗿

[shadow tartan]

Sometimes things make sound when you move the thing you're controlling and it touches the thing

Force feedback is new sorcery and I don't know how I feel about it

[tame cairn]

like PS5 haptic feedback?

or ffb like a wheel

[cerulean kite]

haptic feedbörk

[willow crypt]

like an indie version with no robots

[shadow tartan]

Any feedback

@tame cairn even the rumble pack for the N64 controller

[willow crypt]

looking forward to seeing what the haptics feel like in PSVR2

[shadow tartan]

Yes, you would wouldn't you

[cerulean kite]

me too also as well

Damnit

😤

I used to be the best Jolyne player in the world on emulation for this game. But now that it’s rereleasing at the peak of the anime’s popularity

there’s gonna be actual competition

goddamnit

I will fight you, winner gets to stay in the server.

now i actually have to try

[winter yew]

bet

you ever just feel life is passing you by

and the demand of the day to day plus financial reasons stop you from doing the things you once enjoyed?

me tbh

can’t buy any of these games these days

so expensive

just gotta keep bouncing between the same 3 for months

😔

I definitely no longer have time to relax long enough to enjoy anything.

I try make the most of my weekends by relaxing playing games, then Sunday evening rolls around and I'm immediately angry.

[crisp sparrow]

oh it has part 7 and onwards, neat

still not playing it

[winter yew]

indeed

[crisp sparrow]

but neat

[winter yew]

i didn’t see any new characters from the original release

[crisp sparrow]

when will the rest of part 6 come out though 😩

[winter yew]

Idk. first batch of episodes were garbage

but then again so were the initial chapters of the manga so whatever

only in the latter half does it become literally the pinnacle of shonen

here’s hoping the anime can do it justice

[crisp sparrow]

I kinda enjoyed the first half

but yeah not the same as the absolute bangers that were part 2 and 5

[pale trellis]

Anyone looking forward to kenobi?

Im looking forward to seeing trila again

[austere lance]

I don't know if she'll be in it, but hell yeah!

[snow zenith]

Yea man, can't wait to see Satine again

[austere lance]

Think there'll be a flashback of her?

I will literally cry 😭

[snow zenith]

Would be sick

I wonder if they'll show Maul at some point, but the way Rebels made it seem they didn't meet before so

[austere lance]

They didn't, but the Inquisitors have a nickname for Maul already in Rebels which means they've probably met before 👀

I'm here for Maul dropping Inquisitors 😌

[snow zenith]

Oh the helicopter lightsaber was even stupider in live action

Also if that Pau'an dude is supposed to be the Grand Inquisitor

he fat

[snow zenith]

Yea, he also voices the Emperor

[austere lance]

[snow zenith]

Also I guess they couldn't make it like this because

these guys barely moved

but still

why he so CHONK

Who even is the actor, lemme check

[austere lance]

I bet it's chonk like "Hits like a damn semi" chonk, lol. Grand Inquisitor was a fuckin beast, he was a Jedi Sentinel before the Purge and got recruited by Palpatine himself soon before Order 66. He killed all the sleeping Sentinels close to Order 66 so they couldn't defend the Jedi Temple 😬

[snow zenith]

Rupert Friend

[snow zenith]

Temple Guard yea

[austere lance]

He's gonna be so cool 😫

[snow zenith]

They do look sicc

[austere lance]

Yee

[snow zenith]

I guess a lot of

Rebels was stylised but

I don't remember seeing chonk Pau'ans lol

Doesn't bother me much, I just find the difference wack

[austere lance]

Lol

[snow zenith]

Still hate the stupid saber

Wish they'd quietly phase it out

It didn't bother me on Fallen Order for some reason

I guess because it's so gamey

that it works there

[austere lance]

I don't think he's chonk, Rupert isn't beeg. If he is chonk now it's gonna be muscle

[snow zenith]

I can imagine

just seeing the guy body everyone

Like straight up doesn't even need to use his lightsaber

just sheer strength

Vader style

[austere lance]

Because they didn't do dumb shit like fly with them in JFO, they were cool af weapons

[snow zenith]

If they fly with them in Kenobi

I'm gonna die

[austere lance]

They got used so many ways in your fights against them, I bet they'll be brutal af in Kenobi

[snow zenith]

I hope so

SW is at its best when it's brutal imo

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-stormtrooper-sand-beach-gif-19882807

[austere lance]

Trailer was already dark af with that one dude hanging in the street 😬

[snow zenith]

Shit yea

I actually liked the speech the guy gave

Jedi Code is like an itch, they can't help themselves

We don't really see Jedi trying to hide much so it's cool, and also true

ahemWhenVaderKilledAnEntireCityToDrawOutOneJediahem

[austere lance]

I can't fucking wait to see Hayden again 😫

[snow zenith]

Dude same

Fuck I'm hyped

[austere lance]

😫 💦 💦

[snow zenith]

I haven't finished watching Boba lol

[austere lance]

Holy shit

[snow zenith]

My subscription ran out before the last two episodes and I didn't bother re-subbing

[austere lance]

You uh, will probably like the end 👀

[snow zenith]

Mostly bc no time

yea I should watch

[austere lance]

Oh shit, if you didn't watch the last two you didn't see the big choice 👀 👀 👀

[snow zenith]

Altho the show as a whole was a bit lackluster

Kinda telling that the best episode (so far anyway) was a Mandalorian episode lol

I'll have to watch the other two

[austere lance]

Yeah Robert Rodriguez was bad choice, the best episodes were done by Bryce Dallas Howard (my queen ) and Filoni himself

[snow zenith]

Got good hopes for Kenobi

I wanna see sass too

https://tenor.com/view/kenobi-star-wars-ewan-mcgregor-obiwan-kenobi-funny-gif-13545825

Also I wanna see him use uncivilised weapons

Oh Neptune

[charred badge]

Ok, this fire slug seems like a troublesome thing to summon. Leaves a trail of fire.

On the other hand, I could teleport it onto oil/ooze puddles to explode them

[snow zenith]

What game is this

Looks like Pathfinder or Divinity

[charred badge]

DoS2!

I've been hooked lately

The sense of discovery and satisfaction of the combat have been great

The devs are so mean to animals in quests, tho

The writing is great

[vital hedge]

[snow zenith]

Nice

I should play it

Better with frens

[solid lynx]

“Effects unknown”

It’s water

Effect: makes you not thirsty anymore.

[snow zenith]

Okay Doggos,

such a know-it-all

I didn't even know water existed

[crisp sparrow]

The effect is unknown because they did not drink this specific bottle of water

They're assuming it's a bottle of water as there's a transparent liquid in this glass container

[snow zenith]

Pretty

[tame cairn]

game?

I've been lazy about crafting/food

[snow zenith]

SWTOR

RIP empies

[tame cairn]

bahahaha

yes

[dry copper]

DoS?

[dry copper]

Hows the new update for swtor? I heard before it was going to be huge in terms of changing the early game dynamic.

[snow zenith]

I mean

People waited 2 years

[dry copper]

Waiting didn't help Cyberpunk

Just sayin.

So many games to game.

[tame cairn]

well once a game releases like trash, many people forget about it

[willow crypt]

been waiting for 1.5, now im just gonna wait longer

[balmy plaza]

Ngl I found that new rammstein track really underwhelming

[cerulean kite]

the new rocket pass car in rocket league is so darn goofy my goodness i love it

[tardy burrow]

Games where you can build your own ships?

[cerulean kite]

minecraft

[tardy burrow]

Anything else?

[cerulean kite]

uhhh

Kerbal Space Program

[tame cairn]

isnt there a second coming out?

[cerulean kite]

space engineers

[cerulean kite]

idk i just thought off the top of my head and then googleded

[tame cairn]

[tardy burrow]

Yeah doesn't specifically work with my hardware but thanks

[cerulean kite]

hmm, there are some older games i think maybe

thats about as much help as im gunna be

[tardy burrow]

Thanks

[snow zenith]

Couldn't finish, my gran needed help

People waited two years for two hours of content and a crappy class swap mechanic

I'm sure they plan to release the rest in the coming patches but it was pretty lackluster for an expansion release

@dry copper

[balmy plaza]

Elite dangerous console development has been cancelled

[snow zenith]

Ah

FDev shooting themselves in the foot

again

[tardy burrow]

@cerulean kite basically I want no man's sky with ship interiors

so noooobody else finished forbidden west?

[torpid lynx]

I never finished the first one lol

[silver sparrow]

("| ( > __ < ) |")

😉

[torpid lynx]

Hmmm

[silver sparrow]

i want to ask about the next story but don't want to give spoilers

[shadow tartan]

Gonna wait for DLC and buy it then

I waited for Complete Edition of the first one

[winter yew]

Didn't look all that appealing to me tbh.

I love the first one may I add.

Looked more like an expansion than a full new game to me.

[silver sparrow]

i did that for the first one too

so there will be a DLC?

that was kinda my q

wes

chun

[shadow tartan]

I would hope so

[tame cairn]

i mean if there isnt that’ll be sad

[shadow tartan]

I do really want to see how the story progresses from the first one. It was pretty basic Terminator-esque narrative but I got into it.

[tame cairn]

im sure there will be

[dreamy zinc]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3WSoYK3m0A

[dire plaza]

I think No Man's Sky is a good game

[crisp sparrow]

I'm sorry to hear that

[winter yew]

rofl

[crisp sparrow]

hope you get well soon!

best regards

[dreamy zinc]

you can praise NMS in the normal chat XD

[crisp sparrow]

ngl I'd prefer not talking about it in the nms channel

[coarse swift]

Imagine praising NMS in other games

[crisp sparrow]

but I dont have much to talk about it anymore besides comparing it with other games

[silver sparrow]

HFW?

[arctic chasm]

we are kindred spirits. i almost never talk about a server's main topic, i just head straight to whatever their other games/general channel is

[shadow tartan]

@winter yew @finite hazel been waiting for Hagakure EP to drop for a little while 👀
https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=s6MWqr3AdLI&feature=share

[arctic chasm]

on that note i completed the video game called elden ring, very long game and pretty good

[winter yew]

The fuck is Elden Ring?

[arctic chasm]

old circle

[silver sparrow]

Elden Ring, more like Elden Ring. 🤣

Good thing about No Man's Sky is.

[crisp sparrow]

this is the only big server I'm in

I am too shy......

[shadow tartan]

Should I buy No Man's Sky?

[winter yew]

No lmao

[shadow tartan]

Is it bad?

[winter yew]

Yeah it sucks.

[shadow tartan]

Ah ok

I'll leave it then

[winter yew]

I only managed 1,500 hours playtime it's literally playable.

[shadow tartan]

It costs the same as a coffee

[shadow tartan]

That is a lot of hours

[crisp sparrow]

yeah man have you seen the reviews?

absolutely shameless, just buying out game journos for good reviews

[shadow tartan]

Sohail is right

[winter yew]

😎

[winter yew]

Fun Fact:

[shadow tartan]

I should save my money for mutton rolls

[winter yew]

When is he not?

[crisp sparrow]

wdym save

why arent you buying it right now

[winter yew]

Sohail right ya know.

[shadow tartan]

I had some already @crisp sparrow

I had 4

Tomorrow is a new day though

[winter yew]

4 is an odd number, may as well round it to 5.

[shadow tartan]

A new day to buy mutton rolls

[shadow tartan]

I almost bought 5 but I should get 6

[winter yew]

no 6

If AdamB was still here, he'd be disappointed in you.

6 is a bad number

[shadow tartan]

I have No Man's Sky now

[winter yew]

My condolences

😤

[shadow tartan]

Fucking real life

[winter yew]

FFS Nate. I hope you fucking enjoy it.

[winter yew]

Should’ve bought Star Citizen smh

[shadow tartan]

Piece of shit real life took our B away

[winter yew]

[crisp sparrow]

I looked up if a 1650 can play star citizen

[shadow tartan]

I'll buy it when it comes out on disc in 2036

[crisp sparrow]

and its technically playable

[winter yew]

I wish AdamB well but I hate that he just abandoned us like we were puppies.

[crisp sparrow]

that is all I was able to gather

[tame cairn]

[winter yew]

it’s not going to come out on disc

by then, physical media will be dead

[shadow tartan]

Limited Run will fix that

And I will hand over physical cash

Over the internet

[shadow tartan]

I just hope he's ok

[winter yew]

Genuinely me too.

[shadow tartan]

He's a lovely fucker

Shame we never got to hug him

[winter yew]

I added him on Discord when I added you and you both ignored me for a while but then you fixed that and he still got me hanging.

smh

[shadow tartan]

Turns out I also have over 1500 hours played

Was the game named differently before

[winter yew]

Norman Sky.

[shadow tartan]

I had to fix that

[winter yew]

Nate do you even play nms anymore

[shadow tartan]

OH now I remember

[winter yew]

[shadow tartan]

All the time, just before I played Elden Ring too

I was making sure I had stuff to trade to people who don't get a lot of time to play or can't complete Expeditions

Always have

[winter yew]

NMS and Cyberpunk are my only 2 games with "big" playtime hours that are still going up.

[shadow tartan]

World of Warcraft

Spent way too much time on that

[winter yew]

NMS for me is fucking eternal. I won't ever quit, just take long breaks.

[shadow tartan]

Yeah same

It's actually my favourite game

[winter yew]

100%

[shadow tartan]

That's why I got bawbag @inner copper to buy it

[winter yew]

You did good.

[shadow tartan]

In total I've got 8 people to play it

[tame cairn]

lol

[shadow tartan]

Perfectly casual

Game is zero stress

[tame cairn]

yes

until you shoot something

[shadow tartan]

Still piece of piss

[winter yew]

it’s ok

[shadow tartan]

#no-mans-sky

Had to find a ship closest to one on promo art

Because

[tame cairn]

star citizen would be ok if there wasnt pay2win

[shadow tartan]

There is nothing to win

[tame cairn]

so pay to pay

[shadow tartan]

Just go on cool expeditions with friends

[winter yew]

it’s not

[tame cairn]

not what i hear

[shadow tartan]

And do some mining

[tame cairn]

u can grind yeah

but

[winter yew]

who do you hear it from

[shadow tartan]

Nah mining is fun

[tame cairn]

whats the point if people can just pay

[shadow tartan]

It doesn't work like that

[tame cairn]

youtube

[shadow tartan]

You can still rent ships to people right? @winter yew

[winter yew]

Lets hear it from gameranx in their video where they said every ship on the star citizen website isn’t in the game and is merely a jpg

[winter yew]

yeah

[tame cairn]

?

[winter yew]

Fortnite

[tame cairn]

what

[shadow tartan]

Uh gameranx

[winter yew]

I’m saying that most people that say claim x y z about star citizen have no idea what they’re talking about

if they’ve a check mark and they’re talking about star citizen, it’s very unlikely to be well thought out or researched

with some techlinked exceptions here and there

[shadow tartan]

I have played it a bit, a long while back though

[tame cairn]

some guy named boredgamer

looks like he plays it quite a bit

[winter yew]

he’s an exception too

[shadow tartan]

I know I'll play it when I build a PC again

[winter yew]

same with morphologis

[shadow tartan]

Because why not

[winter yew]

but regardless, it’s not p2w

[shadow tartan]

However I will need to build some kind of flight deck

[winter yew]

It's ridiculously impressive.

[tame cairn]

thats what he said 🤷🏻‍♂️

[winter yew]

I hate how much I like it tbh.

[tardy burrow]

Dwarves

[winter yew]

BoredGamer would not say it’s p2w

especially not now

[shadow tartan]

@winter yew @winter yew

[tardy burrow]

Pulsar could be the cheap version of that

[winter yew]

that looks so goofily cool i love it

[tame cairn]

i mean it was 8 months ago

[tardy burrow]

https://www.pulsarthegame.com/

[tame cairn]

so yeah

[winter yew]

Ok

Well, i disagree

[shadow tartan]

Yeah I looked at that recently

[tame cairn]

lel

[winter yew]

And if you could link the video you’re talking about

i would appreciate it

[tardy burrow]

Would loved to play it

But a bit expensive

[tame cairn]

https://youtube.com/watch?v=57CfOX_F0yc&feature=share

np

[shadow tartan]

This was from 2015

I want it

[shadow tartan]

I wait for sales on PC games

[tame cairn]

sounded to me like he said its p2w

multiple times

i could be wrong

[tardy burrow]

Yeah , but the economy got fucked in Georgia too

[tame cairn]

after release they wont do it as much he said

but currency will still be able to be bought as well as some packs or something but he said he expects there still to be ships you can buy with real money

[shadow tartan]

Why were people even surprised at Mark Hamill being in Star Citizen?

[tame cairn]

i dont have pc so i dont know but yeah

just heard

thats all im saying really

[tardy burrow]

I wann buy a game God damn it

[shadow tartan]

With muthafuckin JRD

"No Indy! Bad dates"

[winter yew]

the example with the starter ship, lets say it’s the aurora mr, and the f7c super hornet, is under the assumption that both players are at equal skill level. The game is balanced so that even starter ships have some form of advantage and that skill is the determining factor

[winter yew]

if both players are completely equal, yes, the hornet will have a slight advantage

but even the starter ships can pull their own

[inner copper]

It’s a true masterpiece of a game if I’m honest

[tame cairn]

so if its a smurf account essentially

[shadow tartan]

Yarp

[tame cairn]

so they have the same skill level

well idk ive never played SC

[winter yew]

could say smurf account

or

[crisp sparrow]

sorry I'm not falling for your scam!

[winter yew]

the person in the starter ship can have lots of experience doing bounty hunts on npcs

[tame cairn]

lol

[winter yew]

while the other person just forked over more money with the assumption they’d win without practicing

[tame cairn]

i see

[winter yew]

the former would win

easily

[crisp sparrow]

that's pretty much every pay to win game

[tame cairn]

essentially

im fcked

if i started

unless i paid or grinded hella

[silver sparrow]

gimli, alex and luke

[crisp sparrow]

just because some random noob paid a bunch of shit to get end gear stuff quick it will still not make them as good as someone who actually played the game

really hate myself for writing "noob"

[shadow tartan]

Dude, people hyping up the actors in SC. He did it already in 1994

[silver sparrow]

nerb

[shadow tartan]

nab

[tame cairn]

i mean thats the word for it lol

[shadow tartan]

Just git gud innit

[tardy burrow]

I like barotrauma

[shadow tartan]

Chris Roberts meetings be like

[tardy burrow]

They got bread?

[shadow tartan]

In the future all fighters must hold a piece of paper or bread

@winter yew https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=4cFYOTk-Bss&feature=share

[tardy burrow]

Aha

[winter yew]

https://tenor.com/view/its-so-heavy-austin-evans-its-too-heavy-this-weighs-a-lot-gif-24730088

[shadow tartan]

I absolutely love this man
https://youtu.be/x2YHPZMj8r4

[winter yew]

even the starter combat focused ship, the aurora ln, has four size 1 hard points

which in the current meta is equivalent to size 2’s

that’s really really good

the differences in low end to high end combat ships really comes down to speed and maneuverability

all combat focused ships are armed pretty damn well

[tame cairn]

lol

[inner copper]

Every time I see him I just think of singing in the rain

By that I of course only mean the song due to its usage in Clockwork Orange

[shadow tartan]

I always think Clockwork Orange

[inner copper]

Is that cause yer a nut job? Lol

[shadow tartan]

Bit of the old in n out

Of course I bloody am

[inner copper]

Sorry love, no time for the old in out, in our, I’ve just come to read the meter!

So fkn good

[cerulean kite]

TMNT: Tournament Fighters maybe my favorite fighting game of all time

[shadow tartan]

Turtles in Time was great

[cerulean kite]

never in my life expected to see it on next gen console lol

[shadow tartan]

Been waiting for this

[cerulean kite]

im gunna rage if u dont start with more than 2 continues for TMNT: Arcade 2

i could never beat that shit

i could get to shredder but not with enough lives

[shadow tartan]

Maybe we can buy more credits in the shop 😂

And then we can beat Shredder together

[cerulean kite]

there better be coop, at least for the arcade games

and fighter

the Barcade in Philly has the TMNT 2 cabinet so I've beat it now, but not the same. Very much a PTW transaction.

[tame cairn]

NES games?

yo

i gotta look up if one of those is the one my chap self played

ah yes

TMNT II

i know it right away

[shadow tartan]

If there is no co-op we riot

[tame cairn]

nah watch there be online MP

lol

[shadow tartan]

Better be

[austere lance]

Elite Dangerous devs really said "Y'all take too much effort" and dropped console support
https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/console-update.600233/

[winter yew]

👌

Probably the only time I agree with this move tbh.

Should have stayed PC only.

Is a fucking shitty way to do it though.

[idle saffron]

At least let me transfer my stuff to PC

Cmon man

[austere lance]

Next gen consoles can handle whatever bs they've been making, lol. They could drop support for last gen

[idle saffron]

Killing me

[winter yew]

It's being looked in to it apparently.

So many requests on official forum and reddit.

[shadow tartan]

Should hire me

[winter yew]

They kinda forcing it to happen tbh. Already been faith lost with Odyssey release and now this.

[shadow tartan]

I'll sort it

[idle saffron]

No way I'm going through that, and engineering again

[winter yew]

Yeah quite a ton to just let be ignored tbh.

[tardy burrow]

Oof

At least I've got my cutter you plebs

[austere lance]

Next gen consoles are stronger than half the pc user-bases hardware but they can't figure out how to make it work?

[shadow tartan]

I mentioned something in 2020

#other-games message

[winter yew]

They said hardware isn't the issue. They don't wanna be working on 2 code bases at the same time.

[shadow tartan]

Just a hint

[austere lance]

OOF

[shadow tartan]

People won't work on stuff for too long and bounce, no wonder they can't support it

Don't bite off more than you can chew

[winter yew]

Dude. Mass Effect Andromeda stalled early development literally because of NMS.

[shadow tartan]

Don't get me started

When Bioware died in Montreal they hired them at WB

......

[winter yew]

😩

[shadow tartan]

Mhm

I met someone that has the personality of a piece of cardboard

Apparently one of the creative leads....

Toodles

Andromeda turned out ok-ish though

I remember showing some of the team NMS in one of our meeting rooms

The game amazes people

Andromeda doesn't do that

[winter yew]

ME:A devs saw the NMS proc gen and wanted it in ME:A and then couldn't come close to it.

[cerulean kite]

the scale of NMS is wild

[winter yew]

Abandoned proc gen, focused on hand made.

Fucking wild. A little indie studio from Guildford outperforming a AA(A) studio.

[shadow tartan]

Not surprised at all

Too much politics and bureaucracy at big studios

Hence why I CBA anymore

Stops you making good things

[winter yew]

💰

[vital hedge]

💵

[shadow tartan]

And tossers

People desperate to make a name for themselves while allowing the product to suffer

Cunts

[winter yew]

Now we seeing it again with FDev.

There'll be someone else after them too.

[shadow tartan]

Rockstar

[winter yew]

Ubi seems to be shitting the bed lately.

Dude, yes.

Rockstar are well overdue this shit.

[shadow tartan]

I can't stand Ubisoft

[shadow tartan]

It's a shame

Red Dead 2 was great

[winter yew]

One of my very favourites, can see the love that went in to it.

They grinding down dev team just like everyone else.

[shadow tartan]

Yup

[winter yew]

Targets my dude, fuck them. I hate targets, nothing positive comes from them.

[shadow tartan]

Backlog bruv

[winter yew]

😩

[shadow tartan]

Targets are one thing but sometimes they are pretty fair

Deliverables are easy depending on how good your team is

[winter yew]

Yes, I agree. My statement wasn't fully fair.

My job is literally decided by targets lmao

Fuck.

[shadow tartan]

It's all the extra stuff that your own team decides to add

[shadow tartan]

That still comes into play

Publisher shit

Saying that though, some publishers fail to adopt KPIs which can also be bad

[winter yew]

wtf

So it's just bullshit all the way down?

[shadow tartan]

Lots of people getting away with doing fuck all and sorting their mates out

[shadow tartan]

It can be

[glass plinth]

Its actually great the big dev teams are having so many issues.

A lot of good devs are migrating to smaller teams. Which is feeding a lot more creative projects with talent.

[winter yew]

I agree. It's also not a coincidence the indie/small teams seem to be doing really well.

[glass plinth]

Its a bit like a big old tree dying, feeding the seedlings.

Ive had so many great small games lately, half of which at least are using devs from the huge studios, in a much more friendly way.

[shadow tartan]

@winter yew imagine people that aren't even in the same country as the Dev team, not given any real standards (imo) and then they pat themselves on the back after creating more work for people on the dev team such as myself

There are over 200 of them and only 12 of us

[winter yew]

Dude that just sounds like it's setup to fail.

[shadow tartan]

And our work shows quality

They pad their numbers to look like they are working

[winter yew]

😐

[glass plinth]

Are you talking about fdev?

[winter yew]

That;s what started this tbh.

[shadow tartan]

Publishers are full of shit most of the time

They don't make games

But they act like they do

Fuck em

Even when I'm at a publisher I know my place

[glass plinth]

Fdev pissed me off, when some devs came up with some fantastic content and braben canned it, then did it again and again. The devs under him are trying, hes just killing off so much the devs produce.

I get some degree of pruning of course

But what braben is doing is functionally beyond pruning

Its more akin to cutting off whole limbs

Im not sure what the purpose is, Im sure there is a reason

I just dont see it

Most likely money and cost to maintain

[shadow tartan]

@winter yew FYI some of the people that created more work by not doing their job properly had been promoted based on that work when I moved over there

Proof of the bullshit

[glass plinth]

ha

Gota love that nate

[shadow tartan]

I laughed my arse off

[glass plinth]

Seen it in every industry

[shadow tartan]

Yup

That's corporate for you

They can suck one

[glass plinth]

Man, I cant wait to play High Rise City

I dunno, been so long since i played a city builder i enjoyed that much

[shadow tartan]

Send videos

[glass plinth]

My little city, its a beer producting town

20k people.

[shadow tartan]

I'm expecting mates rates

[glass plinth]

hehe

Every citizen produces a need. You can produce the goods direct or import them. So ala Anno

So cities are balancing production industries, commerce, housing and needs

Its a bit like Anno had a baby with simcity 4

You dont end up zoning industry , so much as directly make factories and the chain

I simply chose to produce beer as my main money maker.

I import most everything else

I think towards a bigger city you have like 54 resources to balance. So its fun

[silver sparrow]

is it better than cities skylines

[gaunt dust]

dont think so

i knew it was never gonna happen

console players finally got a clear answer and now resources won't be wasted trying to make a game work on ancient hardware, and console people will either quit or move to PC, ultimately creating a more connected playerbase and universe in Elite. Sucks for the console people for sure, but it's for the better.

should of said it sooner to be honest

[idle saffron]

The only problem with that logic is that is PC is broken still as well

And they have been only focusing on it

[gaunt dust]

A lot of improvements and additions have been made though.

[austere lance]

ancient hardware
You know next gen consoles are more or less the equivalent of a pc running a 2070 Super, right?

[gaunt dust]

as sad as this is i still see it as a W for elite overall.

[tame cairn]

i was looking at that too

like huh

[austere lance]

Just drop support for last gen, now that is ancient hardware

[tame cairn]

heck yes

look

[gaunt dust]

true there. though, if PC is still a mess, they can't split their resources so it's only logical they won't get it. the dev team for elite is already small, and a lot of stuff is actually outsourced believe it or not.

[tame cairn]

wha

[idle saffron]

Yo

[gaunt dust]

stop posting it

[tame cairn]

it wasnt

👍

[glass plinth]

@silver sparrow I wouldnt say better. Completely different game. Cities Skylines is a traffic sim more or less. HRC is more a resource and population management. WAY less stressful then Cities Skylines. However, its really quite early in development. Itll be early access come the 24th this month.

[silver sparrow]

Not on console it won’t lol

[glass plinth]

I really loathe City skylines highly detailed traffic behaviour. Its to much sim, when all I want to do is engineer a city and a economy.

[silver sparrow]

Thanks for the clarification though

[glass plinth]

Why would console be more stressful?

Controls?

[silver sparrow]

I just meant the new game won’t be available

[glass plinth]

Oh yeah, for sure

I dont use consoles, so I dont really relate to those issues

Ha, ended up getting a wireless keyboard and mouse for my friends kids

Talk about joy

Theyd been stuck on a controller for years with minecraft.

I'm also slightly giddy for some reason

Finally beat the story for Cyberpunk 2077. I ended up noticing some questions that to me felt very definitive in the end sequence, so I googled what ending I could expect based on this...and I am so glad that I did, because I would have hated the ending I was going to get.

I didn't spoil the ending entirely. I just didn't want to hate the ending so much that I never touched the game again. Made some minor changes, had an ending that felt like an ending.

Then stupid me sat and watched the entire credits roll expecting to see something special.

I did notice that only one voice actor did the voice acting for every language that his character spoke in every localization of the game.

That was impressive as hell.

While all the other voice actors did their characters voices for a single language, this dude did his characters voices and lines in all languages

Masane Tsukayama who did the voice of Saburo Arasaka

[snow zenith]

Sorry I passed out

[dry copper]

That sounds like a health problem

Is it late there?

What

[fleet moat]

Code's gmt i think?

[snow zenith]

I meant fell asleep

[dry copper]

Oooh

[fleet moat]

buenos dias señor Code

[snow zenith]

Hi

Got an interview in 40 minutes

fun

[dry copper]

Who ya hirin?

[fleet moat]

yay! bestest of luck!

[dry copper]

Is it a job interview? It could be a celebrity interview

Maybe Code is famous

[snow zenith]

I am famous

It's

for the loan-not-loan

[dry copper]

I'm glad I did all the side gigs and missions before finishing the cp story. I don't think I'd have had the heart to go back and do them after finishing it...and quite frankly - They made up most of the games content...Like mini stories within the larger narrative. Pretty interesting idea.

I was angry at first how much content was inconsequential but upon reflection - Based on that ending, it's meh. The side stuff was equally as good as the main story...some better than.

No spoilers, but def do the side gigs and missions other than main....

[snow zenith]

Why wouldn't you

[dry copper]

Might work for IGN

lol

[snow zenith]

Beelining the main questline in an RPG is like eating the crust of a pizza but not the rest.

[winter yew]

Which ending did you get MM?

[dry copper]

I solo'd the end area with no help. If you know the different endings, by far the absolute hardest to do

[winter yew]

👌

[dry copper]

I didn't know going in that my health would be constantly dropping so I was under the gun

That was a pleasant unpleasant motivator

[winter yew]

Hahaha

[dry copper]

and when I say constantly dropping I mean the max health

Can't heal it

[winter yew]

Solo run through Arasaka is one I didn't do yet.

[dry copper]

It's absolute chaos

[winter yew]

I'll make that my next run.

[dry copper]

If I could give any tip: Don't waste your time fighting things expecting waves to stop coming at the elevator scene...They never stop. Gotta loot while fighting, get the key and go...or die there trying

I spent twenty minutes killing wave after wave after wave after wave. I thought I was going insane

like...this game shouldn't be THIS hard
