A lot of AAA devs want to make the next live service game like Destiny
They want to make a Destiny so much that they make the exact same mistakes releasing a broken buggy empty product. Unlike Destiny however they don't actually plan out the kickass expansion that actually makes the game worth playing

it's not even competitive

its kinda like with some MMOs where half the screen is a bunch of nicknames and flashing damage numbers in various colors popping up all the time, it just aesthetically revolting to look at

I don't have an issue, I can choose to just not play a kids game so it's all good
true
dapper canyon
I'd say its no more a kids game than valorant
Plenty of adults play val, and kids too
deft bloom
valarante child game.... look to cartoon grapfix to make kid player happy like children show.. valarante cartoon world with rainbow unlike counter strike with dark corridorr and raelistic gun.. valarante like playhouse. valarant playor run from csgo fear of dark world and realism
dapper canyon
Uh
deft bloom
it's a pasta
dapper canyon
Ahh lmao
deft bloom
but tbh I don't like valorant either, but for different reasons
dapper canyon
I'm iffy on val cuz the guns are not consistent like CSGO right?
I like valorant more simply cuz my old eyes can make out the colors more
Easier to see enemies
deft bloom
for me it's mostly about the movement speed, maps and general gun-feel
deft bloom
yeah, though csgo has its and its predecessors history going for it, plenty of time to iterate and see what works and what doesn't
glass hamlet
I'm iffy on val cuz the guns are not consistent like CSGO right?
Guns are more consistent than CS if for burst and raw aiming though
Not if u hard spray commit though
dapper canyon
I see
that makes sense why I felt like valorant gunplay was pretty snappy feeling
my spraying in CSGO was going to be random anyway lol

feral ferry
- Day 1 patch was shit and dropped FPS which Empress doesn't have
- Graphics look worse on Empress version so it might be skewed
Other than that, the comparison is pretty damning towards Denuvo
small comet
all i can see is the empress version uses 1gig of more vram consistently
like literally all i get from this is the 1.0 version runs slightly better
and uses even more vram
especially since denuvo runs in all 3 cases

bleak pike
Other than that, the comparison is pretty damning towards Denuvo
It does?
bleak pike
like literally all i get from this is the 1.0 version runs slightly better
Slightly? Reports across the board say it runs a shit ton better and less stutter
fringe salmon
ah nice, using upscaled 720p resolution data to exacerbate any difference 🤡
if denuvo is bad and we should dunk on them for using way too much performance I'm all in but maybe not via stupid testing
fringe salmon
I see up to 50% extra FPS in some frames
also this sentence is just plain stupid
thats not how fps works
fringe salmon
you should know better with how much you talk and read about that stuff is all xD
and I would prefer not using bad data to come to any conclusion since that makes it look bad if the real impact is lower than implied here
fallow bronze
i7- 7700 and a 1060
fringe salmon
at 720p
fallow bronze
its older hardware.. so not completely wrong to do it that way
fringe salmon
if you want a comparison on that specific hardware, yes
but you can always create a hardware combo that makes anything look bad xD
and this is clearly something that wants to compare the impact denvuo has in general and not just on that hardware
bruh its not even stock hardware
fallow bronze
So you're saying because denuvo requires more cpu time, and the game isnt gpu limited.. this test is invalid? :p
fringe salmon
I'm saying drawing generalized conclusions about the impact on any other set of hardware or any other resolution isn't possible from this
- its also recording on top so that takes more resources away from the game which further exacerbates any difference
fringe salmon
its like EGS all over again, I want to dunk on the bad points, but this is like the guy saying it snoops into all folders on your pc when he was too stupid to use wireshark and was seeing his own connections
if something that looks bad turns out to be false/not applicable the real criticism gets weaker

The Japanese developer Mitchell Corporation claims Zuma infringes on the intellectual property of their 1998 arcade game, Puzz Loop, which was released as Ballistic outside Japan.[5] Mitchell re-released the design in 2006 as the Nintendo DS game Magnetica. PopCap asserted that Zuma was "not an exact clone", with PopCap founder Jason Kapalka saying that he was "happy" with the idea of games being cloned by other developers, so long as the new version added to the gameplay of the game it had copied.[6]```USA is really good at stealing

I've started playing that when I got my Deck
I'm not very into it
Space games aren't that interesting to me

I felt the same about Control the first time I launched it
Control starts off too slowly ;_; but worth sticking with it

There is gloo gun in prey that can be used uniquely

How can I access the Control season pass missions?
The season pass isn't on Steam.. At least, I can't find it
fading spade
There is one
At least
There was one
Since the Hideo Kojima mission is locked behind it
And some others too
The note I need to trigger the mission doesn't appear in the location it should be, so I can't trigger the mission
Humble have it... interesting
Wait.... The season pass seems to just be a bundle for the two DLC
I have the two DLC
So why TF cant I do those missions?...
The map is intentionally garbage? Xd
I found myself naturally using the in-game signs a lot more than the map because it's so shit

The entire thing is fucking weird. I got control from Humble Monthly some time ago and it claimed it was the ultimate edition when it actually wasn't. Steam's version says Ultimate Edition but in reality that's a lie. I had to buy the Season Pass separately to play the DLC

I cant tell if the graphics are worse because its still in development or because they are on a PS4

I want to 100% this game
but idk why I cant trigger some of the season pass missions :/
maybe they are only available back when the season pass was its own thing and not bundled into the Ultimate Edition?

think the hex edit trick unlocks those too
fading spade
yes, seems so
I also feel lied to, but I am glad its a lie
All the guides Ive followed to unlock the cat ear headband in Foundation DLC said they only appear while in that sector
but so far, ive been able to go anywhere and change outfits and they stay on, in any sector
so maybe the guides were made before the devs decided to leave them unlock everywhere? idk
Why does the HxD downloads page remind me of the Debian Linux website?
it says to change 75 2f
but I have 75 07
🤔 the hex values I have correspond to the intructions for the Epic Games version of the game... but I have the game on Steam
fringe salmon
steam version is older and has stuff liken broken RT shaders they only patched the EGS version on pc
fringe salmon
no the steam version is different, so it makes sense if the hex values are different
fading spade
I am 2/5th of the way to finding 80% of the hidden locations

one of the outfits you can get for jesse is also locked to Playstation too
But but Microsoft bad

fading spade
microsoft
wut?
I mentioned Playstation xd
Sony do love their exclusives also, moreso than Microsoft
fringe salmon
no hes on about that sony is one of the parties arguing that MS shouldn't buy activision beacuse that would be bad for the consumer
and sony having some excluswive outfit isn't really a good point against that
fading spade
Microsoft have offered to put COD on Playstion for anothert 10 years
but sony refused to accept this
fringe salmon
because thats just lipservice they try to use to look good and get the deal
bleak pike
@fading spade point is Sony keep crying against the accusation despite Sony very commonly looking content to their platform permanently or temp
fringe salmon
in a very different manner
bleak pike
Eh Spiderman avengers shit, Hogwarts mission, D1/D2 missions, cod missions and all sorts of other games.
Actual content
I guess
But it's still hypocritical
fringe salmon
not really
its not like they went out and said any exclusive deal is bad, that would be hypocritical
them doing something thats not best for consumer does not mean any argument they make is wrong or should be ignored because they do it too or w/e
fading spade
Most Sony fanboys think that exclusives are the only reason why Playstation is better xfd
severe compass
Sony pointing out microsoft having exclusives are bad for the consumer is about as close to a pot calling a kettle black as you can get.
It is true, and it is a real argument, but Sony has engaged in the exact same horseshit for a good long while.
fringe salmon
there is a big difference of having exclusives for your console because you literally own the studio or having a different company take over and then removing games from existing console deals that they invested in
orchid prism
Not to customers, not really.
fringe salmon
¯_(ツ)_/¯ point is the merger would most likely be a bad thing so it doesnt really matter what sony currently does when calling that out

Personally if your game is messed up it needs to be updated, is it the consumers fault your game needs bug fixes
small comet
like i would agree if the update adds features BUT that should be dlc not an update
orchid prism
Not explicitly.
rancid hearth
If the dlc has a good amount of content for a reasonable price then fine, but quality of life is not something you should be paying for when it should've been there in the first place
orchid prism
If Starbucks handed me cup that was half full, I'd go back to the counter and ask for the other half.
If your customers don't consider your game "finished", then you're probably going to need to provide more content for free before you can start thinking of paid content.

Another thing to add, anybody who locks tweets should be ignored

I love how Totally Accurate Battle Simulator swapped their AntiCheat to EAC and added Linux support
if its that easy for a small team of devs, why cant Epic do it for Fortnite? .-.

because its not about being able but wanting to do it and deal with what comes from it

Mhmm

as far as I know TABS doesnt have 30million dollar lans every year
with millions in online matches
fading spade
I need to find out what AC it was using before EAC...
fading spade
and the longer that goes on, the more the general public will be like "Linux cannot play AAA games"
but it can play them, its the anticheat that makes it not want to work
TABS was using something called EQU8.. never heard that before
LOL, ok then xd
oh, Aimlabs also uses this
fringe salmon
uhh are you talking about TABS or TABG
fading spade
wat?
fringe salmon
Totally Accurate Battlegrounds
or
Totally Accurate Battle Simulator
those are different games
fading spade
oh, TABG it seems
fringe salmon
As we talked about in this post no devs are actively working on TABG anymore due to the game not being able to support its own costs.
fading spade
Wait, EQU8 was made by the people who made Splitgate? and now they want to only use it on that one game?
EQU8 would now be exclusive to Splitgate
fringe salmon
the company that made splitgate owns the AC cheat devs
fading spade
aha
fringe salmon
so yes seems like they dont want to have a public option and just keep it in house
so yes, a game that has no dev support can do EAC (although I dont see where its mentioned that it is eac) and run it on linux because EAC always had a linux native client
they just wont be able to do any real support or keep it up to date
so uh, not comparable to a live game like fortnite

Has anyone tried war thunder with the analogue input? I'm curious if it plays ok along with mouse control as I've read that can sometimes be an issue
fading spade
if the game supports simultaneous input, then it should be good to go on Wooting with analog
trim rock
It's a more simmy kind of game, so shouldn't have trouble with that
fringe salmon
if you have a controller you can try it by using that and move the mouse at the same time
clever meadow
Yeah I did notice even with keyboard controls it did allow for analogue input mapping, dont have a board yet but it depends on how well the games I play support it
Think I read somewhere you can test by plugging in a controller along with using mouse. If that works then the keyboard should work if im not mistaken?
fringe salmon
yes that's why I just suggested doing that xD

in the grand scheme of things, probably no, not really

fringe salmon
sure, but its consistent
small comet
depends on how their infrastructure works
fringe salmon
so even more problem occur from not having one simultaneous maintenance?
sounds like a hassle for not much to gain
the more complex you make something the more issues you will make
small comet
having cdns dpesnt mean you can update every cdn one by one
fringe salmon
also would mean you need more people or have someone work at 4am if you want to make it a rollout of updates

why are you playing it then

Why even bother using Linux to cheat?
It's much more effort since all the cheat software is already on Windows

Hhhmmmm

this wasn't an issue of can i move myself in vr to do it, it's an issue of the game not allowing you to do it any other way besides mkb
yeah that's the entire premise of me trying to play the game in vr, but current half assed design standards for vr implementation are annoying
young hill
Could be easily solved, vorpx for example allows you to use the rift controllers since the first one came out
slim token
guess i'll have to do it the old school way, and shell out $80000 that i don't have to learn irl

Well you do not do all that

It's an interesting story, but I don't particularly enjoy survival crafting with a side of cannibal mutants and "spooky Aztec artifacts"
nimble current
looks semi interesting but I've put so many hours into survival derivatives already
orchid prism
The two things that make it stand out is having an inventory screen with an untraditional limit on items (you can carry a ton of shit around, no chests iirc) and the whole cannibal NPC mutant theme.
If that's not your jam, you can safely move on to the next game 😄

That's usually his thing. Finding gamebreaking exploits using review copies, so that the developers can patch them out.

Cyberpunk is officially Steam Deck Verified <3
The game that brought Xbox and PS to their knees now runs pretty damn good on a handheld!
hmmm, its doing local transfer for Cyberpunk from my computer to Deck... but my computer version is modded, will that mean the mods will transfer too?
orchid prism
Probably not in full. Might want to reinstall them all before launching just to be sure.
fading spade
it seems to switch from local transfer and to downloading from Steam a few times so far

Perf numbers?
Can’t assume it’d run so well, game is pretty heavy even with the performance updates over the last year and a bit.
fading spade
Mainly back when it launched on the Xbox One and PS4
unborn spruce
Ok cool, but that isn’t perf numbers. 
fringe salmon
I mean the chip in the deck is stronger and they have patched it a lot, if it was worse I would be confused
fading spade
and lower res
ahh
the only downside on Deck is how brutal the game is on battery life
unborn spruce
I mean… last gen consoles had some truly awful GPUs, so I’m not shocked that the Deck is a lot nicer. :p
fringe salmon
cpu was also bad
unborn spruce
There’s only so far you can go with extreme optimisation.
fringe salmon
jaguar was a low power only core from the bulldozer times, now it has zen cores lol
fringe salmon
its not bulldozer scalewd down, its actually a bit better for the power envolope but still, zen is massively ahead
unborn spruce
I mean… idk if you could pair anything Bulldozer with anything modern GPU or drives without smacking face first into bottleneck city.
That truly was an awful architecture. Had some interesting things, but the issues were immense.
fringe salmon
thats what I'm saying, it's not bulldozer, jaguar is based on a different core
but low power only so still miles away from the zen cores in steam deck
unborn spruce
Yep.

Plenty of games also arent verified and work just fine

This guy is saying that the wooting is only useful for counter strafing in Val but not in cs ?
I feel like that doesn’t make sense
loud harness
A friend from my server
He says that in cs the floor is ice where in only Val you can immediately stop from a counter strafe
I feel like that’s not accurate
deft bloom
does he even know how to counter strafe
loud harness
Idk tbh I feel in cs you can stop immediately when counter strafing as well
deft bloom
in valarante it's different as you only have to stop holding a key to stop moving so it's not really counter strafing tbh
but obviously it makes a big difference in cs with rapid trigger as you can stop holding and actuate the other strafe faster than with a regular kb

🤦🏻♂️
I have heard as well that counter strafing isn’t as a big of a mechanic in Val versus cs
kind salmon
Kinda off topic cs question, are you guys using an analog or an digital profile on the Wooting for playing cs? (Got mine a few days ago and I’m still figuring things out)
orchid prism
Nothing to gain from analog in CS.
deft bloom
before they patched it out you could walk faster without sound with analog, but as it doesn't work anymore just use digital
kind salmon
I see. Does it make a difference? And can I set up rapid trigger and different activation points in the digital profile too? (Would it make a difference in performance?)
deft bloom
also: rapid trigger != analog. you can use that on digital as well, and it's very good for cs
loud harness
Which games are better for analog ?

Im the same in Control, I started playing that game in October and other than a 3 week break when I couldnt use the computer, I only got the main campaign done like late last month

why cant YT or Twitch let you see chat while playing the video fullscreen? .-.
THE FUCKING COMPRESSION
DAMN YT
small comet
because then the viseo isnt fullscreen
small comet
so its blocking content
fringe salmon
because twitch has theather mdoe which is just literally just stream + chat on right side you can open or close
idk what else you would want
transparent over stream would just cover stuff up and screw with bitrate
fringe salmon
well yeah, hence I said twitch not youtube
trim rock
Yeah shame, used to be able to switch to gaming.youtube.com to get a better livestream interface but of course they had to kill that ecks dee
trim rock
Yeah but can you popout stream?
trim rock
Ah that feature I disabled because I hate how that prompt looks and is constantly in the way... maybe its changed now..
fringe salmon
and on twitch you just hit and the entire site is just video+chat
or if you want chat on second screen just use normal fullscreen+popout chat
small comet
heres a crazy one: dont read the chat, watch the stream
small comet
and on twitch you just hit and the entire site is just video+chat

you can just buy the DLC outright without NSO
you can now also get a bundle of the game + DLC but you only save like 2 euro on that bundle
good idea
cant get the DLC as physical

and run the game from the cart

maybe cause the SD card is faster than the game cart

My only physical game carts
oo
Im so tempted to sell my Switch and get an OLED model
I know someone who wants a Switch....so this could work out

They're just straight up saying, we'll buy it from you cheap and sell it for over double you gave it to us for

well for one they have sales tax you have to deduct from their profit
then they offer convenience so you dont need to find someone, check if they are giving you real money or claim it was broken etc.
thats why people do it, if there would be no porift for cex it wouldn't be worth it for them to do that

these could be broken though, they dont guarantee that they function
