Chicken WHAT

[harsh egret]

huh

[fierce cipher]

Ya'll gotta peep that nether flame sauce while they still have it, get the chicken nuggets to dip the big mac is a fucking horrendous burger

[fierce cipher]

There is a trend where people in theaters go apeshit when jack black says "Chicken Jockey", hence, chicken jerking or whatever

[hollow sandal]

Lolol

[harsh egret]

lmao that i do know

[stray prairie]

Flint and steel

[harsh egret]

never heard of chicken jerking however

[fierce cipher]

I know a little bit more about it than you do pal because I invented it!

[stray prairie]

peak

[slender night]

Can we call it something else maybe...

[fleet spruce]

finally ordered my limited edition gamepad

shame it's gonna arrive by the end of month but whatever

[graceful lion]

funny you say that, becuase it wont even run

[proud vine]

you could try

[graceful lion]

doesnt have raytracing

[proud vine]

if you want to buy a new pc

[proud vine]

will the game not even open in that case?

[graceful lion]

yes

[proud vine]

doom the gatekeeping ages

[vestal dagger]

amd beta tested on rdna 1 users tbh

mesa on linux I think

uses shaders to perform unsupported otherwise fixed function accelerated instructions

[proud vine]

that would look horrible i think

[vestal dagger]

I think Nvidia actually did this for the GTX 10 series for a bit, almost to prove a point

[stray prairie]

Is that the [[BIG SHOT]] guy.

[proud vine]

i am the [FAMOUS SALESMAN] fr

[hollow sandal]

If I'm pinged In a channel is there a way to go directly to the message without scrolling up for it?

Sorry random question

[proud vine]

if you search yourself on the search thing you can filter the messages where you are pinged

[grim cloud]

beat hexen for the first time, now what do i play

[slender night]

I wouldn't buy it on there

[hollow sandal]

Thank you

[slender night]

No multiplayer, no SnapMap

Multiplayer has an offline mode

SnapMap no online functionality is still a bummer

There... is...

Oh wait you mean there isn't one that's just player vs player

Yeah there isn't one sadly

I assumed you meant offline as in just not playing with others

[wheat sigil]

check the notifications tab

i assume you're on phone as your messages are capitalized

[slender night]

Or "mentions:[username]"

[wheat sigil]

that's more work

[slender night]

You are correct, actually

Sorry internet died, here's what I wanted to say:

And it's a physical, like, actually physical copy, not just a printed Steam key```

[true merlin]

Ngl doom is the only modern game that does modern games justice without being horribly overpriced and an unnecessary battlepass

[hollow sandal]

Thanks

[slender night]

This is a very incorrect statement

You're generalizing an entire industry, you can't just confidently say that

What about Black Mesa? Wolfenstein: The New Order?

[harsh egret]

whats funny is the standard tda is 85 dollars in europe

even 90 sometimes

[slender night]

Marvel's Spider-Man

[hollow sandal]

Big chungus

[mystic patrol]

it is more than that, 80 euro is 90 dollars

[slender night]

I could go on for a long time about modern games that are fine

Might seem a bit biased because of my PFP, but I mean this-- Sonic Origins

Spyro and Crash? 🍻

[hollow sandal]

Returnal, since we're naming games

[slender night]

He's pretty cool

[hard thistle]

Personally I love Steam as a client and will play my non-Steam games through it when possible. I respect the DRM-free grind and I used to do that same thing, but recently the Steam client's convenient controller options and recording stuff is enough to make me use it.

My library is huge but I mainly only buy things on sale. I used to pirate all the time, but not so much games recently.

I've still pirated the shit out of movies and shows though in the past, because fuck spending half my paycheck on 8 different streaming services. I've got a mortgage.

Yeah I get that. I loved doing that same thing - half the fun was just in setting it up, so I'd have pretty big collections of games I haven't even played just because I liked knowing I had them.

I still have those somewhere, but I guess a switch flipped in me sometime.

[arctic pagoda]

Hey

[cyan lotus]

I think everybody wanting a slice of the pie ruined streaming, like companies are either too greedy or don’t care that 10 streaming services doesn’t mean 10x the content, it just means the contents spread thin, with like a handful of things worth watching per service

[arctic pagoda]

Could be worse

Could be the heretic prophecy, and it being sponsored by at least 5 different companies

[cyan lotus]

If heretic prophecy meant more tv shows then I’d be okay with it

[slender night]

I'm renewing Netflix until I finish watching the Giliverse, after that, I don't really care

[arctic pagoda]

Nice

[hard thistle]

Yeah streaming bullshit is killing the industry's creative process IMO. It is fucking with shows. Killing Doctor Who for example in my opinion.

[arctic pagoda]

Wise man once told me "the worst type of canoes, are volcanoes"

Boo

[cyan lotus]

Doctor who died a long time ago when he became the 34th doctor or whatever

[arctic pagoda]

There's only 15

Technically 16

[cyan lotus]

Yeah that

Killing a show that’s been going on for like 70 years isn’t hard imo

[frail bloom]

@harsh egret Hey, is the artwork in screenshots a leak?

[arctic pagoda]

It got cancelled

[harsh egret]

the artwork in screenshots?

[arctic pagoda]

And then reinstated for 2000s

[frail bloom]

Yup

[harsh egret]

oh in the channel

bruh

i saw a glimpse of it and then it got deleted

[plain iron]

Awh I missed it

[frail bloom]

Oh it's gone

Alr

[harsh egret]

it looked kinda crazy ngl Emerson Tung is insanely good

[hard thistle]

From a moral standpoint I wouldn't even care if you didn't actually pay for them and just pirated them. I just don't think the server mods would be happy to see members bragging about doing that lol.

[frail bloom]

Ye he's a beast

[plain iron]

Im studying Emerson tung's style, but the fucker won't drop a time-lapse so it's hard

I wonder what software he uses....

I hope it's CSP and not photoshop, photoshop is bullshit

[hard thistle]

I did the same with Metroid Dread. And the RE games. Pirated the RE games until buying them on sale on Steam.

[harsh egret]

i cracked 2016, then bought it eventually, i paid for eternal and year one pass, and collectors edition for tda now cuz i at least have my own money now

[slender night]

I am lucky to live in a place where there's a legitimate publisher that loves to rerelease games with permission. I got Wolf2 and Heretic II this way

[hard thistle]

I also pirated the classic Doom games when I first played them, back when Bethesda hadn't released modern ports.
Now I have all of them on Steam.

[plain iron]

Man I can't wait till my helmet comes in... it'll be so cool......

The tower of babel will grow taller.

[slender night]

I have a physical digital copy of the DOSBox versions :p

Heretic?

Hmm... Wolf?

[hollow sandal]

Why would it be better on gog?

Forgive my ignorance

Ahh, yea that does sound good

[true merlin]

@harsh egret HES BACK

[mild loom]

you guys think the soundtrack is gonna be as good as 2016 and eternal?

[harsh egret]

uh

wdym

[true merlin]

Corts back

[harsh egret]

biggest moron on the planet* is back

[true merlin]

Yup hato u know what to do also he has a post up to

Take his ass down

[slender night]

GOG is a very cool service

[mild loom]

path tracing looks incredible

[frail bloom]

Yes, I do
The thing I'm lookin forward to most

[harsh egret]

@winter idol maybe u can get to bethesda faster than me

[mild loom]

awh hell yeah

[harsh egret]

likely yh

[slender night]

I have a preference of "MS Store (Xbox) > Steam > GOG > MS Store (PC) > Google Play", but even though GOG is a bit low I have a few games for it

I can also vouch for the country it's from 🫡

[mild loom]

the dark ages main villain is the coolest looking villain in any doom so far imo

the most intimidating

[arctic pagoda]

Roses are red
Horses eat hays
The dark ages, comes out in 9 days

[frail bloom]

Not quite there lol

We'll find a catchphrase

[arctic pagoda]

I guess technically 11

[weary current]

isn't emerson tung the art director for TDA now

[harsh egret]

smth like that yh

u mean the path tracing comparison?

[mild loom]

for some reason they did this for eternal too

[winter idol]

wat

[harsh egret]

the same guy is ehm... posting things on a certain video platform

again

[winter idol]

idk who it is, can you send it to me

[harsh egret]

lmao meanwhile it looks like it got taken down, just looked him up, but im not sure if his channel is taken down or not

i dmd u his name

[winter idol]

well then that works

what platform are they on

[harsh egret]

well it happened yesterday as well but he came back today

yt

[winter idol]

yea i got nothin, let me know if it happens again or if you spot any other leaks

[frail bloom]

Oh he's gone

Can't even look him up no more

I can tell, cuz his comment on horde's channel is gone

[true merlin]

That was fast

[mild loom]

who the hell fucks up the marketing that bad...to not tonemap for the game, because the trailer 2 for the dark ages has quite good tonemapping on my HDR monitor, but looks poopy in SDR

[pliant coral]

Easy as Pi.

[frail bloom]

Mhm

[alpine pilot]

where doom

[true merlin]

Coming my friend

[arctic pagoda]

Hi

[split gate]

YES 🗣️🗣️🗣️, every composer that had composed a Doom game always makes bangers, Finishing Move is 100% cooking

[mild loom]

Fire

[fleet spruce]

Yeah, especially with cosmic realm trailer music showcased in background is amazing

with each track revealed it only gets better

[split gate]

And we have over 30 tracks, holy moly

[fleet spruce]

can't wait to sink into game after work

[devout cove]

that riff for the agaddon hunter's teaser sounds fkin sick

[mild loom]

The aggadon hunter is the normal hunter from eternal yeah?

[devout cove]

the doom hunter, yeah

[mild loom]

Niiice

I don’t really like the character design too much, but that might be because we’re used to the mecha look

[devout cove]

whaaat, he looks even cooler as an agaddon

[frail bloom]

I think the agaddon is cooler
I never really liked the doom hunter

Especially his tan skin tone and bucktooth teeth

[true merlin]

Tbf they were from and lost a lot of muscle

Frozen

[mild loom]

You guys think so? Idk maybe it’s just me, I ll have to see in game how they behave

[frail bloom]

It's just that part of liking a demon is how they behave
You can't seperate design and functionality
So honestly it's better to get used to them and then form a opinion

But purely on design
I like the beefy, grey baron like agaddon more

[mild loom]

Yeahh, I remember my first playthrough of eternal, the doom hunter was SO intimidating. Something literally designed to kill YOU

[frail bloom]

Ye, good times

[pliant coral]

Funny how Agaddon hunter also wears a similar fur cape yet is suppose to counter the Slayer. XD

[arctic pagoda]

Interesting

[pliant coral]

I mean sometimes to destroy what you hate you end up becoming it. Lol

[half plaza]

@arctic pagoda have you gotten any updates on your CE package?

[arctic pagoda]

It's Sunday, no mail gets delivered on Sunday

[half plaza]

Yes i know

I'm just asking if you've heard anything from them

[arctic pagoda]

Not yet

[half plaza]

Damn

[arctic pagoda]

The dark ages will be 84GB

[half plaza]

I thought it was 64 from TradGuy's screnshot

[true merlin]

Expect one tomorrow

[pliant coral]

That ain’t too bad.
I am betting tomorrow, Monday, reports of CE packages will come through

[arctic pagoda]

84 for ps5

[hollow sandal]

No tracking number for me yet

[half plaza]

Hm...that's a bit odd

[arctic pagoda]

How so?

[half plaza]

They probably received orders to hold it until a certain date

[pliant coral]

I am on PS5 so ain’t that bad of a gb.

[grim cloud]

"Stay tuned, you don't want to miss what's coming this week..." from bethesda regarding Doom. More stuff

[half plaza]

I'm not sure why things are different sizes between console and PC

[harsh egret]

dont be surprised if u get tracking number on the 6th, not on the 5th

[half plaza]

I'm betting Launch Trailer

But CE's as well probably

[pliant coral]

I just need Saturday to be here to start the auto-download

[grim cloud]

yah prob getting that in the second half of the week.

[harsh egret]

i wouldnt be surprised if they drop it on tuesday

they dropped it a week before launch last time

[pliant coral]

Thursday. A week before

[harsh egret]

or thursday perhaps

[half plaza]

So yeah sometime next week probably

[pliant coral]

Most likely since the 15th next week is on Thursday

[half plaza]

I really hope they don't spoil the final boss this time

[true merlin]

I just want something new or just a launch trailer

[harsh egret]

they will, they will

[half plaza]

The game comes out in 8/10 days

[true merlin]

Huh

[grim cloud]

i still hope we get a hugo livestream with him playing Siege or something

[half plaza]

The whole game

[pliant coral]

Would be nice if the launch trailer was just release times

[harsh egret]

wouldnt that be so fun actually :d

i doubt that would happen tho

[half plaza]

Yes bring back the Hugo streams!!

[hollow sandal]

I know to know about the weapon wheel so I can shut up about it 😭

[pliant coral]

Would be funnier if he was playing DOOM 2016 XD

[half plaza]

What do you wanna know

[grim cloud]

still better than no stream

[pliant coral]

True

[hollow sandal]

If we can re arrange weapons in the wheel @half plaza

[half plaza]

Oh yeah that'd be nice

I would doubt that they wouldn't have it as an option since it was in Eternal

[hollow sandal]

Facts

[grim cloud]

preload probably sunday?

[half plaza]

I'm just over here quietly hoping that you can change the fov of the viewmodel in game but i know that won't happen

[pliant coral]

Saturday for PS5
For at least mine it says

[half plaza]

I like to see the hands

And i also like to see more of the screen

Also i was thinking about how the Microsoft store says 4k60fps for the game

Does the PS store say the same?

Because while i don't doubt that it'll run as smooth as butter i don't think it's 4k for consoles

Not without cutdowns on the textures and heavy dynamic resolution scaling

[slender night]

It might be for PC

The Xbox release allows for installation on both PC and Xbox, therefore the store page will have shared stats

[half plaza]

That's what i was assuming yeah

I'm thinking it'll probably be 1080p or 1440p on the Series X

[fleet spruce]

720p dynamic resolution gang here

[winter idol]

lucky i have fast internet so i dont need to preload

[summer obsidian]

Bro I got my shipping number 3 days ago but ups still hasn’t received it

[pliant coral]

I too have quick internet but the pre-load is just a nice touch

[sleek ermine]

The Xbox Series X is capable of 8K in certain scenarios ain’t no way it’s limited to 1440p

[slender night]

Those certain scenarios are not gaming so that's kind of a null point

[half plaza]

I'm not saying it's limited i'm saying there's no way The Dark Ages is running at 4k60fps with reasonable looking textures on a console that matches the recommended specs for 1440p

[sleek ermine]

gaming console
capable of 8K in scenarios
not in gaming
????

[slender night]

Tell me why you think the Xbox One was named the One

I know this is about the Series X, but this connects, tell me that

I'll answer, it stands for All-In-One

You don't only play games on consoles, you watch movies, listen to music, they're not ONLY for gaming

Xbox especially pushes this narrative of being an all-in-one entertainment device

It being a console doesn't mean it HAS to output 8K for games. It outputs them for video

[half plaza]

We are straying from the point at hand

[slender night]

It's on topic

[summer obsidian]

Ya all the top stats for anything are in very curated and specific scenarios there’s no guarantee that the 8k 120fps wasn’t a 2 frame animation looping

[half plaza]

My original question was if the PS store had the same thing

[slender night]

That topic evolved

It doesn't state 8k anywhere on the PS Store

[true merlin]

Here’s a question what yall hoping to see in TDA

[summer obsidian]

Also Xbox is more powerful than ps5 so id guess 4k for ps5 at the most

[slender night]

Dopefish

[pliant coral]

More of the cosmic realm.

[summer obsidian]

King novic sex scene

[real crater]

icon of sin as a regular enemy

[true merlin]

Nah we ain’t doing the atomic heart bullshit

[slender night]

That 100% won't happen

[summer obsidian]

I know

[slender night]

I'm answering the Icon of Sin thing

[true merlin]

I’m hoping the doc will have more then 3 levels this time

[summer obsidian]

I do hope the icon makes an appearance

[slender night]

The Eternal one had 7 levels total though

[summer obsidian]

22 levels confirmed

[true merlin]

No

[frail bloom]

It's assuming they only have one dlc

[summer obsidian]

All about an hour each for a first play through

[true merlin]

Tag 1 and 2 had 3 levels each

[frail bloom]

I guess since they have more time, they can accomplish more

Depends on what they want to make a dlc on

[slender night]

I know it was two DLCs but they together make one DLC

[slender night]

TAG 2 had 4

[mild loom]

The funniest thing about tag 2 is that the battle before davoth gets onto the ship is actually harder than his entire boss fight

[slender night]

Don't forget TDL

[true merlin]

Nope 3

[frail bloom]

Ye there was never a dark lord

never

[mild loom]

Just long ass murauder

[slender night]

There's literally 4

[true merlin]

World spear reclaimed earth and davoth

[slender night]

There's Immora between the last two

[half plaza]

Does it say 4k?

[slender night]

If you're gonna try to argue at least double check

[real crater]

and it shouldve been harder

[mild loom]

How the hell do you have a seraphim be harder to deal with it n than davoth

[true merlin]

Davoth and immora are on the same level

[mild loom]

Legit lmao

[slender night]

It doesn't state anything about specs except that it'll be PS5 Pro updated

[half plaza]

Bc they had time to make the Seraphim

[slender night]

They are not, they are seperate

[mild loom]

Ah fair, I remember tag 1s boss fight being a complete bitch. and then davoth is just…oo dash twice and hit me when im open….

[slender night]

They're both difficult in their own way imo

The TAG 1 boss is difficult because it's like actually difficult

[mild loom]

I’d fucking love if we had a fist vs fist or Doomguy vs davoth ai mimicking his fighting styles or something

[slender night]

But for Davoth the nerves can get you slipping up, at least in my experience

[half plaza]

I liked fighting him on the first playthrough

[mild loom]

His stun window is bigger than a murauders, and there’s like nothing else going on

[half plaza]

It really felt like a fight to the death

[mild loom]

atleast Samuel
Hayden threw everything at us

[slender night]

The demons he spawns near the end fucked me up a lot

[half plaza]

But once you get him you get him there's not a whole lot to him

[frail bloom]

Huh, opposite for me
The possesed pain elemental and dreadknight can throw anyone off

[slender night]

My biggest enemy during the TAG 2 fight was beating it on Nightmare just for the game to crash at the end 😢

[frail bloom]

For samur*

[cyan lotus]

My biggest enemy during TAG2 was TAG2

[mild loom]

Really? Your supposed to just use the hammer or pb the apparitions

[half plaza]

I think Davoth could've benefitted from being more aggressive and having more enemies

[slender night]

Well yeah because they're HARD but Davoth is hard because it's really stressful

[slender night]

I know but I kept using the hammer to stun Davoth

[real crater]

you could actually kill the dark lord so i'll give him that

[slender night]

Samur ended up like a half-eaten turkey leg though I doubt he canonically survived without at least like lifelong damage

[frail bloom]

I mean if you lose to davoth, it's no biggie cuz the levels are easy
But for me personally, tag 1 takes much more energy to complete
At least for me

[slender night]

You talking about UN?

[frail bloom]

Ye

[cyan lotus]

I mean you can always kill the enemies and stun davoth at the same time

[mild loom]

You can take out one davoth phase in 2 hammers

[cyan lotus]

😛

[slender night]

Ah yeah that's fair. I'm talking about casual playthroughs

[slender night]

I'm not a speedrunner and I've established before I really get the nerves get to me

[mild loom]

SSG + pb + lock on + grenades + ballista + pb takes away half his health

[mild loom]

Ah okay that makes sense

[slender night]

I am able to sometimes cook the best cycle of my life just to then dash too late and get fucked over

[mild loom]

Hmmm

[cyan lotus]

davoth is one cycle if ur a speedrunner ( phases 2&3 )

[slender night]

Kinda like Plobbus

[cyan lotus]

Yeah man he’s crazy with it

[mild loom]

How?

I wanna try

[cyan lotus]

Idk if YouTube vids are still not working so I’ll just explain the sequence
Ssg - Pb - rocket - ssg- hammer - ssg - bp - ssg - bp - ssg - lock on burst - mod swap cancel into heavy cannon - precision bolt - ssg

Preferably a frag grenade is thrown during the part where you’re ssg punchswapping him, if you don’t have a second bloodpunch just throw in an additional ssg shot, also you could just mod swap cancel directly into the ssg if you did enough damage but often it’s better to play it safe

[graceful lion]

bercision polt

o blood punc

[mild loom]

Ahhhh Interdasting Interdasting

[cyan lotus]

I edited because I forgot you open with an ssg

[green lion]

.

[true merlin]

@harsh egret he’s back again

[harsh egret]

[frail bloom]

Ugh, this is gonna go one for the rest of the week

[true merlin]

[harsh egret]

i told one of the community managers to get someone to take down his channel, idk

[true merlin]

He is just re uploading stuff

[pliant coral]

Yep. Until the game comes out and all are playing it, there are those they will try to ruin it for they have no place in life.

[true merlin]

They did but he made a new one

[harsh egret]

ah lmao

[true merlin]

He even said old channel got deleted got a new one

[harsh egret]

he is so stupid that he makes a new account with the same name

[true merlin]

Yup

[sleek ermine]

What happened

[frail bloom]

Ye he thinks his name is his brand of smt

[true merlin]

Nothing important

[pliant coral]

His “brand” ain’t even good enough for Salvation Army

[harsh egret]

[true merlin]

Ya

[pliant coral]

So the typical pathetic leakers

[proud vine]

[harsh egret]

[true merlin]

Surprised he’s the only kid who has the review copy of the game

[harsh egret]

[harsh egret]

[pliant coral]

Naw, gorilla glue

[harsh egret]

i dont even know how it CAN happen

[frail bloom]

Well I commented

[true merlin]

I hope so

[winter idol]

ok yea they know about it

[frail bloom]

Told him to stop without being rude

I wonder how he responds back

[pliant coral]

By being rude

[winter idol]

his channel will get nuked soon again anyway

[harsh egret]

thankfully he is stupid enough to make new ones with the same name

[proud vine]

doom the stupid ages

[frail bloom]

Lmao

[winter idol]

same thing happened with eternal

[frail bloom]

I was too young to be lookin for leaks

[proud vine]

i love making this joke if you haven't noticed

[winter idol]

[harsh egret]

i was about to say the same

[true merlin]

Already

[frail bloom]

First time I've seen it

[upbeat cipher]

Got damn 👀

[true merlin]

Yup it’s god

He’s gone now

[harsh egret]

[frail bloom]

Lol

[proud vine]

[winter idol]

the bot has been acting up with links, we are looking into it but it seems to be out of our control

[harsh egret]

i did that same gif like 2 days ago and it was fine

[proud vine]

VEGA is gaining self conciense

[true merlin]

I’ve been checking every hour for any leaks of the game

[harsh egret]

[molten island]

I got my doom limited edition controller yesterday but now I'm just waiting for the damn game lol

[proud vine]

[pliant coral]

No. Though in the Dark Ages he earns gold and rubies, he still won’t pay.

[proud vine]

doom the tax evasion ages

[harsh egret]

[harsh egret]

yup

[pliant coral]

It’s gonna decline like the Roman Empire and become The Dark Ages.

[proud vine]

doom the decline ages

[frail bloom]

What have I done

[proud vine]

what having to wait 9 more days does to a guy

[frail bloom]

I have to wait 12

Pray for me

[hollow sandal]

Lol!

[proud vine]

VEGA i hate you fr

[hollow sandal]

@frail bloom what are you Playing on

[frail bloom]

Ps5

[pliant coral]

👍🏻

[spare hinge]

Will it be available on ps4 or only ps5?

[hollow sandal]

Noice

Only Play Station 5

[spare hinge]

Oh yikes

[plucky plinth]

yeah, it's a current gen game

[pliant coral]

Welcome to the future.

[half plaza]

Sorry was there a leak?

I'm trying to read back but i think i'm missing some context

I didn't see anything so i dunno

[frail bloom]

Ye hmmp leaked his pants again

[random cloud]

tf is the dark ages? I’m on my first playthrough of main game

[half plaza]

Yeah yeah okay but what was the stuff about someone's channel getting nuked

[frail bloom]

Hmmmp nuked it with his flatulations

[plucky plinth]

wdym "main game"?

[random cloud]

campaign

[plucky plinth]

There's like 5 or 6 Doom games, if not more

[random cloud]

eternal

wait it’s a different game?

[plucky plinth]

but yeah, TDA's just a prequel to that and 2016, as well as an indirect sequel to 64

[random cloud]

ah I see I see

it’s a different game

[plucky plinth]

yes

[true merlin]

I can’t wait to see what they post tomorrow

[frail bloom]

Well all I can do is see

For I have heard

Sad

[pliant coral]

Wait, watch, listen, look away, do not search, all we can do is wait until release

[final dune]

hopefully a launch trailer

[pliant coral]

Or on Thursday

[winter idol]

probably wont be much this week

[hard thistle]

The PS4 is over a decade old

Abandoning last gen consoles is long overdue

[pliant coral]

Indeed.

[true merlin]

Anyway off to wait for leaks again

[frail bloom]

Spawn camping lol

[random cloud]

still works

[true merlin]

Making sure the leakers aren’t safe lol

[pliant coral]

Only thing they fear is You.

[true merlin]

Hey I’m the Hellslayer they should

At least my Helldivers group does

[pliant coral]

lol

[random cloud]

why people hating on the ps4?

[frail bloom]

Hating is a strong word

It's just that you can't depend on an old comsole to push forward gaming

[winter idol]

its an old console, it will rarely get any updates

[random cloud]

old is an exaggeration

when didi it come out again?

[winter idol]

its over 10 years old lmao, its old

[random cloud]

ah sh

it’s old

[frail bloom]

Time flies so quickly huh

[random cloud]

I’m still using it tbh

[frail bloom]

I am too
I play little big planet on it

[random cloud]

I’m playin everything on it

between ps4 and ps5 was 6 years, so I’ll just buy the ps6 next year assuming a similar production rate

[pliant coral]

Doubt on the PS6.
Gaming crash is in coming.

[frail bloom]

I don't really play new games anyway now that I think about it

Most of my catalogue goes up to 2020

[uneven mortar]

Hop on Nubbys Number Factory

[frail bloom]

Wut?

[uneven mortar]

Fire new game

[random cloud]

it can’t be that soon can it?

[spare hinge]

Well some people don’t have $500+ sitting around 😞💔

[plucky plinth]

Yeah, and the game legit wouldn't run on a decade old console

[pliant coral]

The gaming crash is coming sooner than you think it is.

[frail bloom]

No one's saying you're forced to pay for a ps5. But the game is current gen, it's utlilizing new technology

[uneven mortar]

PS5 still has no fucking games and it's in the second half of its life lmao

[plucky plinth]

We're lucky it can even run on 6 year old PC parts

[random cloud]

more like third fourth

[spare hinge]

No I know I’m just saying

[hard thistle]

Sucks but old gen consoles hold everything else back

Technology ages

[uneven mortar]

That's true but it doesn't go down easy when the graphical and computing difference of this gen feels pretty negligible in 99% of games

[frail bloom]

That is very true, but we're talking abt specifically this game

[uneven mortar]

Dark Ages might be one of the first games to actually leverage the current gen tech

[frail bloom]

Is it really? Was there no game before it to utilize it well?

[hard thistle]

First game to explicitly spell it out that they use ray tracing because it's easier than baking in lighting

Lol

[merry sapphire]

they should make the game work on my ps3

lazy devs

[random cloud]

pretty sure ps4 uses ray does it?

[uneven mortar]

Not that I can really think of? Not the extra computing power, maybe the GPU

[frail bloom]

Hmm

[hard thistle]

No lmao the PS4 cannot ray trace

[random cloud]

there was a free weapon skin in eternal on ps4 for ballista to showcase ray trace, never used it tho

[plucky plinth]

yeah, the 2060 Super didn't even come out until 2019

[uneven mortar]

I'm pretty sad modern doom doesn't increase enemy density on higher difficulty, maybe my biggest issue

[merry sapphire]

yeah the skin was for everyone, its just specifically designed for people who has ray tracing

[plucky plinth]

part of the reason is engine limitations iirc

because there is an enemy cap

[merry sapphire]

game cant really handle it

[plucky plinth]

a quite small one if I'm correct

[hard thistle]

Dark ages still has more enemies than before

[pliant coral]

Many enemies on screen.

[merry sapphire]

good enemy design can make you feel like theres too many enemies

[frail bloom]

That depends on the experience they want to craft

For modern doom games, the damage they deal amd ai behavior ramps up difficulty

[uneven mortar]

I mean yeah but that can apply to any criticism of anything

I do like the aggressive AI

[stoic sleet]

Is it normal to change ur pfp and username to PACKGOD to piss someone off for a joke on discord?

[uneven mortar]

That's so quirky

[frail bloom]

It's just that it's not needed
Why give the people who play on lower difficulties less enemies to deal with

Would make them feel left out

[merry sapphire]

no its actually Abnormal you Should go see a Therapist man

[hard thistle]

I mean there will probably be mods that add enemies eventually

[stoic sleet]

Ok

[merry sapphire]

glad we agree on this

[uneven mortar]

I guess that's true, I felt that way about cupheads simple mode

[stoic sleet]

The hardest difficulty slider setup will probably be a really strange combo ngl

[merry sapphire]

large enemy count wouldn't really work in eternal anyway due to its arena design

dark ages on the other hand oh Boy

[uneven mortar]

I meant more like, 2 extra archviles and a tyrant in an arena

[merry sapphire]

ouh my bad i misunderstood

[stoic sleet]

25 winged cyberdemons in one arena

[frail bloom]

I mean, in tag 2, there's escalation encounters
Not exactly the same but it is scalable

[merry sapphire]

yeah they should do that on higher difficulties in doom

[uneven mortar]

R they bringing those back?

[frail bloom]

No clue

[merry sapphire]

escalation encounters were kinda dissappointing ngl,,,

[frail bloom]

Probably the hammer you have

[merry sapphire]

it felt like the first encounter was for pacing sake and the 2nd encounter is the actual fight

[uneven mortar]

I didn't use them because Tag1 beat my ASSSSS and i wanted an easier time

[stoic sleet]

The hardest escalation encounter in tag2 was the first one

[uneven mortar]

TAG1 was such perfect difficulty to me (on normal mode at least)

[stoic sleet]

And the hardest arena in tag2 was the last one in reclaimed earth after the buff

[merry sapphire]

true, hate how fun the hammer is cause its broken as hell

[frail bloom]

Oh wait, master levels is also similar

[merry sapphire]

reclaimed earth lowkey the most dissappointing level in the dlc

its teras nabad but on earth

[stoic sleet]

Lowk it should require a single enemy kill to recharge aswell

[merry sapphire]

like green lush everywhere but this time theres human buildings n shi

[stoic sleet]

And it one hits everything

[stoic sleet]

I never really liked the green designs of the first 2 levels

[merry sapphire]

world spear was sick man

especially the latter half

[stoic sleet]

Good level

[merry sapphire]

it was such a good level, and the master level makes it even better

[stoic sleet]

I just wish the ancient gods 2 had more hell

[frail bloom]

Green can work well
Take bloodswamps

[merry sapphire]

we had super hell which was immora

[frail bloom]

Or in tda, the forests look much more cooler

And less like plastic

[stoic sleet]

Only one rlly easy level

[merry sapphire]

sadly yeah

i used the tag 2 rework mod its really good

makes it feel like tag 1, but not like master level difficulty

[stoic sleet]

I hate mods where it just makes everything hard

Theyre like “new and improved” and they just put 25 possessed cyberdemons in each arena

[merry sapphire]

yeah its clear some people really dont know how to make actual good level design

[final dune]

mod idea
up the ranks of each demon, so fodder to heavy and heavy to superheavy, but make superheavy fodder

[merry sapphire]

they just spam demons without making an intelligent fun encounter

feeling like a randomizer mod

[stoic sleet]

Like making u fight a demon best fought from range with carcasses is good design imo

Bcs carcasses block shots and make u plan

[wild cobalt]

Question

For those who bought the collectors edition on pc, how will we get the game?

Do we get the code emailed to us or something?

[grim cloud]

marscore/sentinal prime today, need a little catch up

[arctic pagoda]

The donk ages

[arctic pagoda]

I don't know if it helps, but it specified only console editions get the physical game, I think PC users get a code

[harsh egret]

code in the box for pc

[red steeple]

Amogus

[harsh egret]

otherwise physical disc yh

[arctic pagoda]

The wolf amogus

[wild cobalt]

Ok, because it was sold out in the US so I’m having a friend in Europe have it delivered to them so they could deliver it to me

[red steeple]

My collectors comes in tomorrow

[arctic pagoda]

Nice

[harsh egret]

oh boy idk if u have time lol

[arctic pagoda]

Hopefully mine does too

[harsh egret]

actually the code on steam u can get yeah

[wild cobalt]

It’s already been bought

[red steeple]

It’s nice because I got a jar recently

[harsh egret]

ah

[arctic pagoda]

Ayo

[pliant coral]

👀

[red steeple]

I hope in Doom the dark ages the doom slayer says “its dooming time” and dooms all over the makyrs

[arctic pagoda]

🌀👄🌀

[harsh egret]

yh back to rocket league this chat's cooked again

[hollow sandal]

Dark: the Doom ages

[red steeple]

Why don’t I cook you

[arctic pagoda]

If we switch the letters around in Doom the dark ages, we get doom the Dark ages

[frail bloom]

Back to drawing I go

[arctic pagoda]

Have fun

[frail bloom]

Mhm

[arctic pagoda]

Yee

[hollow sandal]

[pliant coral]

Oy vey

[agile sonnet]

11 days!

11 days until we slay once more (not including owning eternal and 2016)

[true merlin]

It’s 9 days

[weary current]

are we getting a live-action launch trailer this week? like doom 2016???

[winter idol]

highly doubtful

[pliant coral]

That trailer was pretty nice

[harsh egret]

they got the microsoft money, would be so good

[frail bloom]

Why do people keep saying live action

I don't remember that

Granted I was 6

Lol

[harsh egret]

2016 did have a live action trailer

[hard thistle]

look on subreddit
more powerscaling nerds making up random shit and peddling it as fact

[frail bloom]

May you post it pls

In videos

[harsh egret]

u have never seen it? thats criminal

[frail bloom]

Sorry😭

[harsh egret]

"that link is not allowed here"

[true merlin]

I’m so bored I want this game now

[harsh egret]

brother what.

youtube video cant be uploaded to videos. nice!

just look up doom 2016 live action trailer

[frail bloom]

"So we can all agree, the doom slayers will outmatches his opponent, he wins all the time, the end"

[true merlin]

Hato remember the original doom eternal teaser trailer

[frail bloom]

Alr

[frail bloom]

Oh that looked completely different from eternal

[harsh egret]

yh it was pretty hype

[frail bloom]

Much grittier

[true merlin]

Well the Baron was 1 to 1 from teaser to game

[frail bloom]

No I mean the lighting

It was cinematic

[harsh egret]

well it was a CG trailer

[true merlin]

That was the point

[frail bloom]

No guys I know I'm just glazing it that's all

[harsh egret]

ye i loved it when it dropped

[frail bloom]

OH

The fight like hell cinematic trailer?

[true merlin]

Yes

[thorny yarrow]

Do we know the specific reason yet why Dark Ages must be installed on an M.2?

[true merlin]

Huh

[harsh egret]

so that it can run properly lul

[thorny yarrow]

What insight.

[harsh egret]

idk what else to tell ya

[frail bloom]

What's M.2

[thorny yarrow]

It's a type of solid state drive. also called an NVMe.

[harsh egret]

m.2 ssd

[frail bloom]

Hm

[hollow sandal]

Straight facts

[thorny yarrow]

Somehow, apparently, SATA ssds aren't fast enough for this game.

[harsh egret]

yup

[thorny yarrow]

But I almost don't believe that.

[junior nexus]

Maybe dragon sections cover large maps that need fast loading

[harsh egret]

m.2 ssds have kinda been the standard for a while, not even that expensive

[thorny yarrow]

Considering Dark Ages is literally the first game released to require it, it was a bit of a surprise to me.

[plucky plinth]

Well, it's not the first

Star Citizen is another game that comes to mind that requires it

[thorny yarrow]

I did not know that

[harsh egret]

afaik its cuz of real time textures and geometry and so on that id tech has

i think stuff loads kinda ass on slow ssds

[junior nexus]

32gb for recommended ram is also surprising tbh

[thorny yarrow]

I never thought I would have the amount of ram in my PC that I now do.

[valid pawn]

what was that game before the bot took it down for a second

[thorny yarrow]

It was a video someone tried to post of Dark Ages gameplay.

[plucky plinth]

Yet again, Star Citizen also needs that amount

to be fair, SC can be quite unoptimized

but it's also a massive game

[junior nexus]

Yeah, its just that i dont expect it from id software to have those requirements, since they push for optimization so much

[thorny yarrow]

That's the thing that kinda got me in general. For it's time, Eternal was totally reasonably demanding, and it's optomized like crazy. I'm really surprised at how beefy this one is. I'm sure its still optomized for its weight class, but god help any one running below spec.

[harsh egret]

RT is pretty heavy

[plucky plinth]

fair

[harsh egret]

holy shit i cant spell

[valid pawn]

no worries hato it happens to me all the time

[plucky plinth]

I feel ya lmao

[frail bloom]

I mean if you want to put more in your game, like large sprawling spaces, more enemy counts and improve your graphics, it's gonma be more
Grill me if I'm wrong

[plucky plinth]

you're not really wrong, actually

[harsh egret]

also more ai on screen does require better hardware

i had to upgrade my ram and gpu for this game

[valid pawn]

I hope that dark age would have that lever action shotgun like model 1887 just imagine that just like combat shotgun & super shotgun

[thorny yarrow]

I do have an NVME at any rate, I just don't like that it will now be taking up space on my C drive.

[agile sonnet]

9 days for Preorder or wtvr

[wooden acorn]

Day 101 of 112

11 days till public release

[true merlin]

Correct

[agile sonnet]

11 days for ppl without

[true merlin]

Yes sadly

[frail bloom]

12 for ppl like me that have to wait for other ppl

[true merlin]

8-9 for EA and 11-12 for everyone else

[pliant coral]

The 10th I auto-download
The 12th I rip and tear

[frail bloom]

I got the premium I just have obligations to wait for someone else to have it first

Too bad I can't make use of it

[true merlin]

That’s if that’s the auto download day

[pliant coral]

It is for me, cause it says auto-download is the 10th

[upbeat lark]

Same for me

[pliant coral]

Yep. PS5 tells so.

[weary current]

i just realized smth
allstin did mention that the opener cutscene felt like a movie... so are we gonna get some opening logo shit like we did with death stranding, and that kojima productions thing???

[mossy flicker]

If we did I wouldn’t mind

[pliant coral]

I mean
Medieval hellish siege sounds like a good movie opener

[harsh egret]

when he says it feels like a movie, im pretty sure he means in a cinematic way and thats it

[pliant coral]

Still a positive notion if it feels like a movie cinematic.
Eternal’s opening was great lead up

[harsh egret]

not sure if this is misinformation but i remember there being someone saying that they got some people from blur studios that worked on halo 2 anniversary and other stuff

[pliant coral]

That would be the people making the music. They worked on Halo 2 Anniversary

[harsh egret]

which is huge if true

[harsh egret]

no..?

"Blur Studio Inc. is an American visual effects and computer animation company which specializes in CGI visual effects, CGI animation, and CGI design."

[pliant coral]

Finishing move worked on Halo 2 anniversary as well if I recall

[lament venture]

Anyone exited for the collectors edition ?

[harsh egret]

yeah im talking about blur studio, who works on animation amongst other things

and they got some people that worked at blur studios who also worked on that game.

[pliant coral]

Ah yeah. Blur Studio is great

[harsh egret]

unless what i heard is complete misinformation but it does seem like they got some next level cinematic team now for sure

so i wouldnt be surprised

[harsh egret]

yep, heard we getting an update on those tmr or tuesday at latest (here in europe at least)

[true merlin]

Good bc they look amazing since skins are returning

[real crater]

i get out of school 30 minutes later the day the dark ages comes out

[true merlin]

lol

[real crater]

this is the only time i wished a game was released later

only one day later though

because then assuming gamepass still gets one day early access i wouldnt have to wait an extra 30 minutes

and then everyone would get to play it on release friday to start their weekend

[true merlin]

It does

[lament grove]

Fr? Cant wait

[grim cloud]

time to watch some siege level camplay again ....

[real crater]

but hey 30 extra minutes is better then one extra day

[true merlin]

Yes hopefully update tomorrow bout em

[real crater]

plus i can just stay up until midnight and play it all night leading up to school

[weary current]

same, i'm gonna be going through that level like a madman

[harsh egret]

if it makes u feel better, ill be sleeping for a few hours while the game is out

[real crater]

i think everyone will

[harsh egret]

im not playing at 2 am here and then feeling like shit for the whole playthrough

[real crater]

yeah i just realized i'd probably play like ass if i stayed up

[harsh egret]

i might play the first level or smth since i keep sleeping at 4-5 am anyway tho but thats besides the point

[real crater]

i guess after school it is

[true merlin]

I’m streaming whenever it’s out

[lament grove]

Same fr

Also i hate opening the shop app to check tracking updates

They removed dark mode so i get blinded every time now

[real crater]

i hope they do add a spoiler channel and prohibit spoilers here for a week or two because i know its gonna take me days and theres some madmen that will complete it in one day

[harsh egret]

they said they will after reviews are out or sometime closer to launch

i wish they did it already but oh well

[real crater]

good

aint tryna discover that slayer teams up with ahzrak to attempt to take down the dark lord or something before i get there

[true merlin]

U got shop app to huh

[weary current]

they also worked on the animation for that one warhammer 40k thing, as well as the fight like hell cinematic

[true merlin]

Oh the Astatres guy

[harsh egret]

perfect, so live action trailer now for this game as well

[real crater]

welp tomorrow the 10 day countdown starts for us game pass users

[harsh egret]

its all coming full circle aint it

[true merlin]

Man ngl the guy who made astarties is a legend

[frail bloom]

Wait what?

[weary current]

syama pedersen? yeah

[frail bloom]

They have a different team working on cinematics?

[harsh egret]

i think its pretty obvious by how they upped their level on the cinematics so yeah

animation in general as well

[weary current]

id and blur studio are collaborating on the cutscenes i'm pretty sure

[true merlin]

I hope so

[harsh egret]

id would never do this by themselves

[frail bloom]

Oh I see

[true merlin]

Anyway back to the eternal grind again

[harsh egret]

their facial animations in eternal and 2016 aint it

[frail bloom]

Poor Novik got axed so hard

[harsh egret]

but thats ok, those games dont need it

[true merlin]

U think so

I thought they were fine

But though we hardly saw ppl talking

[pliant coral]

Heh, IGN might give it a better score now that a female is in DOOM. ☠️

[weary current]

💀

[true merlin]

I doubt that they might fire another reviewer

[harsh egret]

i look pretty up close for these things and yeah its not amazing facial animation

zero motion capture as well, not that its needed but still

[true merlin]

And compared to dark ages for what we saw

[pliant coral]

I kid I kid, but true.

[harsh egret]

if ryan from ign is reviewing, then i think we good

not that people take their reviews seriously anyway but yeah

[pliant coral]

Fair.

[harsh egret]

yeah he did review doom eternal as well

[hollow sandal]

I wonder what makes the twin barrel different from the accelerator

From surface view they appear to be the same gun, just one is double barrelled

[lament venture]

Wdym an update ?

[lament venture]

Wait an update about what?

[hollow sandal]

Perhaps different upgrades?

[harsh egret]

update on the tracking

cuz we havent heard anything since january :d

should be getting sent by tuesday

[plain iron]

I think it comes from that they don't really do humans, the last time they did was like. Maybe doom 3 but idk

Most games use mocap for their faces, cod is one of them

[harsh egret]

they dont do alot of motion capture or realtime simulation even of objects

even if u go on the big containers on tag 1 uac atlantica, those containers moving around, the animation is so rigid lol

its not real time is what im tryina say

so i think they got new people working on that now

but more specifically on characters

[plain iron]

This is also a longass thing if theres no mocap, they have to hand animate every single cutscene and it's probably so tiresome lmao

[harsh egret]

ik they did mocap on the mars core intro

and i remember hugo said he was the one mocapping the slayer 😭

[plain iron]

Lmfao

[pliant coral]

XD

[harsh egret]

but ye i had a 3d animation course in college like 2 years ago, stuff is hard to properly make it feel "human"

obv im not a professional animator but point still stands

[plain iron]

The 3d models for the humans are so much better than the previous ones, it's so good to see

[harsh egret]

the human eye can see veeeery easily when something isnt right

[plain iron]

I'm just a artist who knows a lot of amature animators, and they all agree, making something feel normal is super hard

The detail in the model is great too, the scene where the slayer grabs the flail? I think it was the flail, his skin has goosebumps completely unnecessary but so good

[harsh egret]

honestly everything visually seems to be next level when u compare it to eternal

its crazy good

not only comparing it to eternal, in general shit looks amazing

[half plaza]

I need my 12 inches of Slayer

I will keep making this joke until it is in my hands

[plain iron]

Same lmao

I also need my helmet

[pallid wing]

A week and a half? Nice

[true merlin]

Ew

[half plaza]

No

[hard thistle]

respond with correction as to why this is false
user responds with a big diatribe essentially summarized as "but hugo sez," then blocks me
That is hilarious. Doom fans are wild.

[true merlin]

Btw I just realized we may have huge titan lore in this game

[harsh egret]

gotta love it

[plain iron]

The doom subreddit is usually a hit or miss.

[harsh egret]

i rarely go there anymore

[plain iron]

I've been avoiding it in case there's leaks

[grim cloud]

doom subreddit has its issues, but still way better than the steam forums. holy shit

[plain iron]

Steam forums in general are just cesspools

[harsh egret]

avoiding leaks for me will be insanely difficult since im chronically on twitter

[river field]

Just 10/8 days left fellas

I can barely wait anymore lol

[neon perch]

I'll be getting TDA premium edition on the 7th.

I'm so happy.

[frail bloom]

Waht how

[river field]

Congrats

[plain iron]

I'm chronically on bluesky so I don't get spoilers somehow

[frail bloom]

Don't spoil nothin pls

But have fun

[harsh egret]

i think he means he will buy it on the 7th xd

[river field]

Ye lol

[frail bloom]

OH

[plain iron]

Chat I think they mean they'll buy it then

[frail bloom]

I'm an idiot

[harsh egret]

lmao

[neon perch]

Yeah nah I'll get the 2-day preview and DLC access but I'm not getting to play it early.

[frail bloom]

Have fun either way

[neon perch]

God I wish.

[river field]

May 13th finna be the most doom day of this year, 2016’s 10th anniversary and tda will come out for people who preorder the premium edition

[true merlin]

How

[frail bloom]

You fell into the same trap I did

Reread it

[neon perch]

You get $90 and you buy it on Steam.

[pliant coral]

Mine says I can play the 12th lol

[river field]

Nice nice

[pliant coral]

Well my time zone actually says so

[plain iron]

I think mines on the 13th, don't quote me tho

[river field]

I unfortunately can’t get it on my pc system so i had to preorder on my ps

[plain iron]

I preordered it on my ps5 💀

[river field]

Lmao

[plain iron]

The rig I'm buying could play it, I just don't wanna

[river field]

I personally just want to enjoy it idc if pc will be better

[pliant coral]

Harley Davidson made a DOOM the Dark Ages bike

[plain iron]

Just gotta get more ram, and ram is dirt cheap lmao

[river field]

Whats your system specs?

[harsh egret]

yh i put images in #screenshots

it looks so good

[pliant coral]

It does

[harsh egret]

however Serrat getting turned into a motorbike was not on my bingo card

[river field]

Tell me about it lmao

[plain iron]

I only know the basics rn, buying it off a mate so I trust it. A 5600x, 3060, 16gb ram, haven't checked the mobo type yet tho

[hollow sandal]

Nice

[lament venture]

Until the 12inches are in your hands ?

[river field]

I would upgrade my pc to run the game on it but that simply would mean im paying extra besides the price of the game it self, so i would’ve preordered the ps5 version either way honestly lol

[plain iron]

Real tbf, I'm not gonna be using the pc for gaming, it's mainly gonna be for art

[river field]

Nice

[plain iron]

No clue what art is gonna need a raytracing capable GPU but yk

[river field]

[plain iron]

Idk I might play portal rtx when I'm sad

[plucky plinth]

Portal RTX runs like shite

[plain iron]

Ah. Joy.

Maybe just regular portal then

[fleet spruce]

I wonder how many more years it will take till this kind of shit runs smoothly

[plucky plinth]

well, TDA probably will

seeing the engine is built for raytracing

[fleet spruce]

that's the difference

[plucky plinth]

and not slapped on like every other single engine that's had it

[harsh egret]

^

[plucky plinth]

well, mainstream engine

[weary current]

gotta love how ID deviates from other gaming studios on this aspect, that and optimization from what i've heard

[true merlin]

They love there optimized games

[fleet spruce]

truly tech wizards

[harsh egret]

i just hope people dont go in expecting 200 fps with RT in tda just cause eternal does it

[grim cloud]

im getting close to 300 fps with Doom Eternal, im curious what TDA will be. ANd fyi, i get about 180 fps for 2016

max settings

[harsh egret]

yh i get about 200-300 depending on the level, on uac atlantica i was getting like 190 earlier

[hollow sandal]

What monitor do you have, 300 fps is insane

[hollow sandal]

You get 300 fps as well? What monitor? Resolution

[grim cloud]

im not actually getting that in real time, i have my hrz capped at 120 or something

[hollow sandal]

Ohh

You can just see fps limit of frames rendered by the gpu?

[grim cloud]

haivng a 4090 helps

[harsh egret]

pg259qn 1080p

[hollow sandal]

Sick, brother. My eyes haven't laid upon 300 fps

[harsh egret]

i got lucky my mom bought me the monitor when 360hz monitors first came out, loved it for competitive games

nowadays with college and stuff i dont play those that much anymore so at one point soon ill be looking for a 2k monitor

[hollow sandal]

At a lower framerate?

I was thinking of getting a second nontiro that was 240hz at 1080p. If I was at 360 I'd imagine 144hz may look choppy. Is that the case?

Because 144hz makes 60 look choppy

Faaacts bro

What gpu?

thw?

[harsh egret]

60 and 144 is night and day, and so is 144 and 240 for me. 240 to 360 is maybe a 10-20% noticeable improvement for me, i would be totally fine downgrading to a 1440p monitor with 240hz that has better image quality

which is what i plan to do at one point anyway

[minor flower]

need tda...

i was gonna buy the premium but man that shit 180 in my country

and it's like atp... am i really gonna spend that much jus 2 play the game 2 days earlier than everyone else?

[fleet spruce]

I got it because it also features dlc, which will be released later

[inner wigeon]

Real

I’m just gonna wait for gamepass release. Paying for all my favs under one subscription to me is pretty much a steal

[half plaza]

Yes bro

[weary current]

ok the 67-84 gb thing actually kinda worries me a bit, can someone tell me if this is because of optimization, compression, and stuff like that, or nah

[formal root]

optimization I believe

small package, great product

[plain iron]

There's probably more to download later maybe

[weary current]

figures, id's really good at optimization and what-not

[plain iron]

Maybe a day 1 update? Idk dawg

[hard thistle]

Eternal was like 36 gb at launch btw

[fossil badger]

finally managed to finish TAG 1

TAG 2 feels easier

[hard thistle]

It is

[mental grotto]

Anyone got any updates on their collectors edition?

Bethesda says mine’s arriving May 6 but ups still doesn’t have it so we’ll see

[burnt moss]

7d 21h 19m 53s till doom

[true merlin]

Not yet they should be updated tomorrow or Tuesday

[mental grotto]

Hell yea

[true merlin]

But I can’t guarantee anything

[mental grotto]

What, you mean to tell me you’re not head of UPS in charge of all dark ages CE deliveries??

Absurd!

[weary current]

oh ok

wait, on ps5 or pc

[hard thistle]

Uhh xbox one

[spare panther]

same mine says expected to arrive tomorrow but idk if it means arriving at ups or my house

[wooden oasis]

88 now on pc 💔

[mental grotto]

Guess we’ll see tomorrow

[weary current]

so TDA isn’t that bloated then, aight

[spare panther]

yup im praying to hugo martin it arrives at my house tomorrow

[wooden oasis]

im actually only ordering mine today/tommorow

chances are im probably getting it late

but hopefully before the 13th

[mental grotto]

Good luck bro

[wooden oasis]

🙏

[mental grotto]

Hope it arrives in some semblance of a timely manner, Bethesda’s track record admittedly isn’t great

[wooden oasis]

if not i at least hope they will send the code for pc digitally

because idm if the figure comes a few days later

[mental grotto]

That’s what I’m concerned about too, if it arrives late and I miss out on the early access because they didn’t give me a steam code I’ll be bummed

[wooden oasis]

all we can do is hope
