try highest sensitivity, 0.1mm actuation point on WASD and highest on rapid trigger too
pliant pulsar
try highest sensitivity, 0.1mm actuation point on WASD and highest on rapid trig...
what actuation for everything else
static island
if that's too fast, 0.4mm is a solid actuation point that's sensitive but won't trigger out of nowhere
1mm is a good one
if you want to have stuff like "grenade" keys on max actuation point that's fine too (4mm)
pliant pulsar
what about tachyon mode

you can turn it on if you don't need RGB

Nice, you are only a few months late
orchid prism
I've always suffered from reroll sickness.
Every single game that lets me create a character, every time.
Took me till a couple of years ago to actually finish BG2.
deft bloom
but you can respec and change the appearance
it's psychologically interesting what kind of people do that, and save scum etc
I think people can't deal with consequences or the feeling of not having control and they melt in games like these
orchid prism
but you can respec and change the appearance
I can't change race or background.
Or change decisions.
Also the mirror wasn't a thing until... this patch š
orchid prism
what does the mirror do
Lets you redo (most) cosmetic choices.
static island
ohh that's neat
orchid prism
You can reroll your classes via old boney at the camp as well.
deft bloom
monk has been a blast from start to end so I feel like I just want to experience a new class with a completely new char when I'm finished
oh and Mansen there's imo the best part of the game in act 3, so maybe continue for a bit
though something even cooler might pop up, I haven't finished the whole thing
static island
multiclassing is the way to have extra fun and possibly be overpowered
deft bloom
the funniest part is I originally wanted to multiclass but then I never found the button where to do it so now I'm just a level 12 monk
static island
LOL
can always respec
i mean, you SHOULD respec if you're using equipment that increases one of your stats to like 20/22
deft bloom
no it's more fun for me this way
I'm not looking for minmaxing in games, I deal with whatever pops up and whatever I do

Revolver to the foot moment
deft bloom
Which is funny cause based on what I saw in CS subreddit, the game is apparently...
yeah there's a lot of interpolation issues, animations are tied to the server's tickrate but the shots register on the subtick level
it's fucked
let's see if they've fixed stuff
feral ferry
If what I read the other day is right
Is that Valve for some reason decided to commit suicide early doors
And completely removed 128 tickrate
You can't enable servers to run above 64 anymore
That is so stupid cause pro scene depends on it
static island
oh wow in cs 2 they fixed fast container spins
deft bloom
this was expected from the start
it was a huge mistake for them to release CSS and CSGO after 1.6
it split the communities
feral ferry
Like, I suspect why they did it is cause they hate external clients and separate matchmaking queues
deft bloom
+separately somewhere in-between there
feral ferry
CS1.6 remaster would prolly be more popular than 2 lol
Which we kinda have with CS:CO but nobody knows about it
plucky gull
static island
yeah rogue ranger is good basic choice
orchid prism
Ranger falls off hard at later levels. Kind of have to multiclass away from it
Love the Bardboarian.
Fighter + spellcasting is also an obvious combo for that extra action.
My biggest issue with multiclassing, is that stat boosting items are very rare in BG3, much moreso than earlier titles.
I should make a Thor build at some point. Get that returning throwing weapon ability and something electrical from either cleric or sorcerer.
Eldritch knight and Cleric maybe. Or sorcerer for some more utility
Kind of a drag that they removed so many throwing items that used ammo.
static island
barbarian throwing spears would be fun
or eldritch blast machine gun build
I was gonna do both of them before I stopped playing
orchid prism
Throwing anything that doesn't use ammo (or is pacted) is just such a chore.
Kind of silly to carry 10 spears in your inventory given equipping limitations.
Hrm...if only aasimar were a thing.
static island
Throwing anything that doesn't use ammo (or is pacted) is just such a chore.
yeah the fun would fall off like š but I'd have a fun early game cause throwing damage from high-ground is nice
deft bloom
cool first opening

finally getting into apex for real and inevitably fell into the posts about mnk vs roller/aim assist. i tried roller for a bit but it just feels sooooo clunky. i know it takes time but i mean, i have a wooting and am used to fps like valorant already so i feel like i should just stay on mnk
my aim was god awful and so was my movement

mnk just feels better and that makes sense i've never played any roller games really

Even the damn bakelite is polished
bakelite always is
more or less
due to how you mold it
feral ferry
Is that even bakelite
novel umbra
the warframe design
no
it is "brown material"
the design is kinda bogus as well
not like it really matters
feral ferry
the design is kinda bogus as well
Too many sharp and weird curved edges

Ew
feral ferry
Railjack's not bad
novel umbra
but it is ok
feral ferry
I will give you that
novel umbra
and railjack survival is just survival essentially
with a short railjack segment in the start
novel umbra
btw drop rates for that weapon are ASS
novel umbra
feral ferry
Especially for whatever reason now we are doing mecha
feral ferry
And the fact that you were FORCED to get a necralisk or whatever that mech thing is called to do the New War cinematic quest
novel umbra
newest one is cool ig
feral ferry
I just quit
I am not grinding a fucking mech to do a cinematic quest
You can fuck off, I am not interested in it
novel umbra
yea necralisk acquisition is very badly explained
it's not that bad to get
but it is very badly explained
feral ferry
It's not even that
novel umbra
and there is a ton of grinding on deimos sadly
feral ferry
It's just completely detached from the game completely design wise
novel umbra
like I have full standing and am still missing drops
feral ferry
Like, it was just tacked on cause "mechs are cool"
novel umbra
not really?
feral ferry
Warframe has this stupid damn feature creep that nobody needs
novel umbra
they are basically a crutch
for open world missions
since some enemies are so tanky
feral ferry
I am glad that Rebecca seems to be a lot more grounded and is going to fix what's in the game and just expand the story instead
novel umbra
hopefully
feral ferry
Rather than add in more gameplay systems
novel umbra
they are basically a crutch
that being said, while one of the necralisks is pretty insane dps wise
the other one just sucks
fuck these btw
feral ferry
I might just have a bit of a disdain for mecha cause as long as mecha exists and is a hard requirement to play the game, I am not playing WF
If they ever remove mecha as a requirement for the New War quest, I might play it again
unique bane
CS2 releasing today btw
novel umbra
already did
feral ferry
Although I have a soft spot for a well executed, well explained, good mecha
This series is incredible
novel umbra
I mean you just need to get it once
you barely need to touch it otherwise
oh also funnily enough the weapon you get with it is prob the best heavy weapon in the game
feral ferry
I mean you just need to get it once
nobody asked for them to introduce yet another gameplay system that is barely used
small comet
i stopped playing wf when they revamped the planetary maps
and all my unlocks got lost
so i stopped caring
novel umbra
feral ferry
I quite like the tileset remakes
small comet
my entire map was locked again
idk if that ever got fixed and was just a bug or not
i just uninstalled
small comet
well cant do missions if everything is locked up
novel umbra
you can
there are a few modes you can't access
like steel path
but you prob don't wanna touch that atm to begin with
oh also
small comet
i only remember i couldnt select any missions outside the unlocked ones
novel umbra
archons are a pain imo
feral ferry
like steel path
Was thinking that Tony somehow just entered steel path mode without realizing it
feral ferry
Steel Path was a thing around corpus tileset rework
novel umbra
yes
feral ferry
Or not far from it
feral ferry
Oh that must be around the time that raids still existed
novel umbra
way before even
feral ferry
Yeah I wasn't playing the game at that time
novel umbra
ah wait
I think you actually do need to reunlock it
the planet connections at least
shouldn't take long though
small comet
everything was locked for me
novel umbra
and for the connections to the next planet you need to do some tasks
but most of the taks should be completed
so you prob usually only need to kill a boss once
small comet
that doesnt sound like "just unlock connections"
novel umbra
in any case if you ever feel like it
just hmu
while I love to complain about it the game is still pretty good
small comet
i sadly gave up cause i honestly just felt not cared for after spending hundreds of euros
small comet
maybe in the distant future

I doubt it. They fixed it in CSGO ages ago.
Could work in 2
2 is a completely different engine

it still works
they just changed that you got an advantage from it
you used to be able to walk faster than sneaking while only emitting the same sound as if you were sneaking
vital wyvern

There are just microstutters everywhere

in csgo it was weapon dependant

it always was yeah
novel umbra
afaik it used to be set at x% of walk speed
feral ferry
If you want to do skins you can do it in CS2 that's fine
novel umbra
so with some weapons you could walk faster than with others
feral ferry
But at least keep community servers, WORKSHOP MAPS, unofficial matchmaking, offline gameplay for CS:GO
unique bane
scout had the highest run speed 
feral ferry
12 years of workshop maps just lost
Completely botched launch from Valve's end, quite embarassing considering you would typically associate them with high quality services
trim rock
Gungame is missing, dangerzone is missing
novel umbra
will people actually miss dangerzone
feral ferry
Like, I'd rather right now just boot up CS:GO and play some workshop maps
Ah yeah they removed short games
And 128 tick servers
I'm sorry Valve but wtf
CS2 is cool, not ready for a full launch
Which is very ironic cause Valve runs Steam and Steam has this really handy little banner
I wonder why not just release it.. for free, as a replacement for COMPETITIVE MATCHMAKING
And keep CS:GO for offline cause why not?
So many amazing workshop maps in CS:GO man
And that makes it appropriate for Valve to just completely remove it off Steam?
trim rock
Also yeah that's unlike Valve to just delete so much community content
feral ferry
Man I will miss playing CSGO roguelite and realistic bot AI
urban lichen
You can still launch and play old CS if you own it right?
urban lichen
Oh, wild
feral ferry
There needs to be a community movement for reinstating the workshop and old client cause this is bs
Fable looks dated yet is a perfectly great game
So many oldies don't look great but the gameplay holds up
CS:GO is fine but the workshop maps are just a goldmine, why remove them
urban lichen
Strange choice to delete the old version since the new one is very different.
Everyone with weak PC's probably needs to upgrade to continue playing their favourite game
feral ferry
There's a good bind for that
Anyways CS2 felt like it has a horrendous frame time and just random freeze stutter problem
Also the fact I'd rather play CS:GO than CS2
Not touching this, dunno why anyone would find it very interesting
Although aim felt smooth for some reason
Flicks are easy

Not me lol
I have no interest in mobas
urban lichen
I tried league, and valorant. They were't really fun, and then i needed to reinstall windows after because riot vanguard at the time actually was terrible
fringe salmon
Simple, remove old version so you donāt have weird cases like CoD where old game stars still being played and split the player base
urban lichen
There's a reason you want to keep old games up
feral ferry
Simple, remove old version so you donāt have weird cases like CoD where old game...
That continued to happen well into Source's existence
People still played 1.6 competitively
urban lichen
Some people will just refuse to go to the next version, and then you lose a concurrent player
fringe salmon
Yeah and thatās really bad for matchmaking
feral ferry
And there is no problem with that
feral ferry
Hahahaha walhacks XD
Is that why I am stuttering
Cause the game is loading in player models
urban lichen
lmao
feral ferry
I thought that would be a case but how tf did they fuck up the render that badly
Anyways them removing CS:GO from Steam and removing 12 years of community maps is a heresy and they should get boycotted
If people want to play CS:GO instead of CS2, competitively via Faceit tournaments or offline, they should be able to do that
unique bane
Is that why I am stuttering
prob? lmao

Plenty of people never migrated from 1.6 to Source let alone condition zero, CZ just died at launch

CS2 is fresh out of the oven, unpolished, with a lack of content
Removing the option to play GO just to funnel people into 2 is just absurdly dumb

@feral ferry The difference is CS:GO and CS:GO2 are monetized, they cannot afford to split the community. It's whatever for older CS's, they were free mods aside from having to buy HL1, so it was whatever.

I mean just get a non legit copy and remove steamemu from it lol

I mean there's no immorality given CS:GO is F2P anyway but it's safer to do it this way
Besides *someone* here thinks Valve is providing zero support for CS:GO like they at least still 'have' with every preceding CS game which is actually notquitetrue even if downloading historical versions from steamcmd isn't really sponsored/particularly intended (if we can ascertain intentions) by Valve

Since I made a fresh character, and the game really requires near completion of act two (at least) to enter dogtown, Iāve really just been enjoying update 2.0 so far
I love the projectile launch system haha
barren pewter
I love the projectile launch system haha
Itās now actually viable
barren pewter
Itās now actually viable
Because it wonāt level itself into uselessness within a few hours
barren pewter
Since I made a fresh character, and the game really requires near completion of ...
Hopefully I can start the DLC later today

anyone played a good chunk of phantom liberty?
i got to the point i can free roam dogtown
and abandoned the story
XD
bleak pike
I'm sad how much they butchered stealth
orchid prism
I'll give it a play when I'm done with BG3. The balancing tweaks probably need another couple of minor patches to sit right.
I hear the new base game ending is...really crap, has major plot holes and somehow worse than the worst ones you have already as far as V is concerned.
bleak pike
If I'm being honest, I own the base game but planned to arrr the expansion, but hearing how good it is I decided to wait till my money comes in.
Big increase
For context @flat frost
feral ferry
The faster it gets put out of its misery, the better
feral ferry
AHAHAHAH
THEY ARE ADDING IN FIREARMS
They realized Dying Light 1 was far superior to this shit lol so they just have to bring them back
What about that Elyseum map that they showcased so much that never came?
fleet swan
They realized Dying Light 1 was far superior to this shit lol so they just have ...
Bro when I found out they took them out I was so upset, adding them now doesnāt go with there dumbass idea they dun gon goofied themselves
static island
dying light 1 is super good rn
feral ferry
Like their own trailer shows that the guns don't even fit the game
fleet swan
Also the grappling system in dl2 is dog ass
feral ferry
The game wasn't designed around firearms
fleet swan
Dl1 is my number one game I put so many hours in that
Got every blueprint they had in the game
feral ferry
Dying Light 2 failed when they kicked out Chris Avellone
fleet swan
All on my ps4
feral ferry
I'd say that every single game that decided to backstab Avellone cause of baseless accusations got what they deserved
And those who didn't have been received well
feral ferry
An absolute master of game design
He designs the game systems, quests, etc
What he wanted out of DL2 was a branching storyline narrative experience
He got hit by was false irl accusations that he proved wrong in court
fleet swan
Sorry not like game background savvy but in game it pretty knowledgeable
feral ferry
Techland kicked him out, erased all he worked on, and rewrote it
fleet swan
Techland kicked him out, erased all he worked on, and rewrote it
Wow
Thatās
So fucking funny
They goofed there best game
So hard
feral ferry
They were going to release one of the best games of the decade
Until they kicked out the designer and erased his work
For nothing as well lol, they achieved nothing but fucking themselves financially
Now they got acquired by Tencent lol
fleet swan
The first game was a miracle
feral ferry
First game was quite impressive
fleet swan
It was so scary that I legit didnāt play it for a year until I grew up and fell in love with it
feral ferry
I remember when they were marketing it, it was really really hyped up
fleet swan
Then obsessed
feral ferry
It released and it was great from what I remember
They handled the post-launch content well, expanded the story
DL1 is pretty much a great game
fleet swan
I honestly canāt remember any marketing for it
Yeah I canāt think of much better then it tbh
fleet swan
Yeah
feral ferry
Most zombie shooters are ass
feral ferry
Oh actually
fleet swan
Dl2 ruined it so hard
feral ferry
There is one game that was promising in zombie genre that I think was pretty okay but it could have been better
fleet swan
And like there repair and weapon durability is so fucking dumb
fleet swan
Days gone just felt repetitive I put like 7 hours in
feral ferry
I mean, I guess we can say that Resident Evil is also a great "zombie" shooter but the recent games have been about mold, less so about zombies
feral ferry
Days gone just felt repetitive I put like 7 hours in
Yeah it was really samey
fleet swan
7 days to die was really good but the game isnāt really comparable to dying light when it comes to what you do
feral ferry
7dtd is a sandbox that runs like shit on a bad engine
Not really that kind of a game
Tbf there are a few great zombie games, like the resident evil originals for some good narrative horror, left 4 dead for a coop shooter, last of us which is all around great, dayz which is amazing and maybe dead island but that game is just comedic
DL1 is pretty great
fleet swan
Yeah all those never really interested me so I canāt say much on them did watch gameplay tho
Project zomboid is really good tho
Better survival aspect tho
fleet swan
Dl1 has better first person and fighting mechanics also loved the skill system
feral ferry
When they introduce human NPCs, zomboid will be an amazing colony sim
orchid prism
A big issue with Zomboid is that everything happens right away.
fleet swan
When they introduce human NPCs, zomboid will be an amazing colony sim
Agreed I canāt wait for the animals update
feral ferry
A big issue with Zomboid is that everything happens right away.
It also has no real goal
orchid prism
Water, power, you have maybe what... a week or so before it's all gone. And then it's immediately a "life off the land" sim. It really puts games like Starfield and Fallout to shame with how realistic decay is.
feral ferry
And no real events
orchid prism
You shouldn't be finding fresh sushi on a table in a research lab that was abandoned years ago š
fleet swan
A big issue with Zomboid is that everything happens right away.
Wanna elaborate more on that?
orchid prism
Everyone's gone. The electricity will die out fast, plumbing and all that. Which means fridges keeping food fresh is quickly gone, rot sets in. Same thing with fresh water.
feral ferry
Like, zomboid is meant to be a sandbox game, but there's nothing there to keep me interested. You build your rain gatherers, some walls, a farm, and you beat the game. The game will force you to go out sometimes but that just feels boring.
orchid prism
The pacing is brutal. It's much less of a curve and more of a cliff face.
feral ferry
There are no events in zomboid other than the fucking helicopter event
There are no NPC human bandit attacks on your house, no scavengers to come across
orchid prism
Also I am personally not a fan of the 3D remake they did on models. I miss the old 2D ones š
feral ferry
When zomboid becomes a colony sim, that will be interesting
A better game than rimworld lol
Build up a castle, establish foundries, supply runners, security perimeters, etc
That will be amazing, if they manage to program the NPCs to do all that
fleet swan
There are no NPC human bandit attacks on your house, no scavengers to come acros...
You gotta remember itās still under heavy development, but with the multiplayer itās really really fun, also if your bored I suggest making it harder thatās what I do
feral ferry
I am not interested in the gameplay loop
There's just not much there to do other than just "survive alone"
orchid prism
It is great for MP roleplay servers.
fleet swan
Yeah I have a very collective personality so hording gear is fun to me
orchid prism
feral ferry
Yeah I have a very collective personality so hording gear is fun to me
Todd says you need therapy
fleet swan
Todd says you need therapy
Whoās Todd
feral ferry
Todd your mama
fleet swan
Todd says you need therapy
Should see my video game collection
feral ferry
And he's wrong lol
The game keeps throwing a shit ton of items that have a lot of worth, so we aren't supposed to collect them?
feral ferry
Resources was a major issue
I had like 9000 kg of resources at the end just stockpiled in the ship
Cause outposts sucked and the ship is the only place to put them
trim rock
I built an outpost where I can dump all this stuff but holly crap do I really have to chuck it into each individual container manually
feral ferry
They are not
young hill
I built an outpost where I can dump all this stuff but holly crap do I really ha...
Maybe the interface is at least mouse and keyboard friendly like elder scrolls v
feral ferry
Just use console commands for that, bethesda games always had major issues with storefronts not having enough money
vapid lintel
and yes they spawned dead like that
I guess that's on brand
trim rock
Well yeah that's a lot of games, best stuff you get by looting
My creds are mostly spent on pimping the ship and buying out all the resources from shops
feral ferry
Money rewards should be lowered, imo, by 100x
I finished the first playthrough with some 2 million dollarydoos
I would have much prefered if it was like 20k
orchid prism
Buy some cars and you'll feel really, really poor fast.
orchid prism
Oh this pivoted into SF. Gotcha
Modify your ships and feel poor real, REAL fast š
feral ferry
But it would be hella cool if we could have some mars rovers on starships to then use
orchid prism
The ship economy is pants on head and needs serious rework.
feral ferry
And the game is literally suggesting that mecha is a thing in the universe
Where's my mecha designer
I want to have sum big guns mechanoids and go shoot up aliens
bleak pike
You know what needs to be done
?
The dick heads who make sfse to support the gamepass version
Or Bethesda to not have everything be a loading screen
fleet swan
Hey how long did it take you guys to get your wooting cause they pushed mine back like a week from the original estimation
orchid prism
bleak pike
The car part sums up my frustration with starfield so much
feral ferry
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FigIAAYHoW8
He made a new one?
Oh sad, that's the old one
That was such an amazing use of voice AI
orchid prism
Just found it by accident.
feral ferry
This is why voice AI I think is amazing
This kind of stupid shit
That was hella funny
I hope he makes the top gear dark souls 3 special
fallow bronze
apparently cp77 has jesus
That quest about the religious guy though... That was fucked up
drifting rose
welp
orchid prism
That was such an amazing use of voice AI
That was pure gold.
And I never played the game. Very entertaining š
sour niche
for anyone interested bioshock collection on sale for 12 bucks
insane steal
thats all normal, remastered, infinite AND dlc's in one
havent played any of the games but i bought that immediatly

Oi oi! I already posted that.
Ya dang copy paster
(Also they're called miners, not mines. Wannabe tech site)
orchid prism
This is not just those two though.
This also includes Fall Guys and other titles.
It's also highly ironic since he's previously posted plenty of memes mocking other studios for mass firing, with Epic standing proud, bringing in the masses to keep going.
fringe salmon
They have a lot more than just Fortnite
Thy have rocket league they acquired like 2 dozen companies like quixel, artststion
???
They have one massive game and an engine to sell licensing with, why would they not make that a bigger deal to get more money from more and bigger games made with it, more can happen if they can offer more
And yeah stuff like megascans works extremely well together
Hell they have less employees than unity lol
Most people probably donāt even work on unreal or Fortnite there
orchid prism
Hell they have less employees than unity lol
They only employ partial people? It's fewer! FEWER!
Reeeeeee-
Epic confirmed as literal Rimworld employer. Peglegs can inquire.
fringe salmon
No I mean they employ the hobbits :p
unborn spruce
They have one massive game and an engine to sell licensing with, why would they ...
I mean that'd be the obvious choice yeah.
Why you wouldn't is beyond me so I can't really poke at any reason why they aren't.
deft bloom
ja ja deutche welle
feral ferry
In a way it's quite surprising that people care so much for CS2
Not really sure what's up with the whole competitive shooter appeal
Not sure if they fixed the annoying new bug where game lags whenever player models are rendered lol
novel umbra
unsure
seems like an easy fix
looks like the issues is just that they only load model textures when they enter the rendered area
feral ferry
So, they fixed a performance... patch? Bug?
orchid prism
In a way it's quite surprising that people care so much for CS2
New engine after over a decade of having to deal with the old?
novel umbra
New engine after over a decade of having to deal with the old?
also a shitton of players
feral ferry
More akin to Overwatch, and the performance runs a lot better
Volvo instantly fixed that lol
No performance increase for you
feral ferry
I do have to say, this CS2 rollout is just really dumb
deft bloom
there is an issue with shaders, every time you clear shader cache by installing new drivers or if a map update comes, you'll get freezes until it caches the shaders again. this is most prominent on amd cards
orchid prism
It doesn't pre-cache shaders on bootup? That's uhh.. an interesting approach
deft bloom
would be interested to run their benchmark, I never drop as low as 160fps on full hd with high settings
yeah it doesn't
you have to fly around the map, shoot, throw nades etc to get them cached on every map
orchid prism
deft bloom
of course there's a bug for some people that it doesn't always save the cache and you get the same thing happening every time you launch the game
orchid prism
I see absolutely no way this is a disaster in a competitive multiplayer game.
feral ferry
Can we just, uh, get CS:GO back?
deft bloom
never happened to me though
orchid prism
inb4 people record demos that let you precache map pools before a tournament.
bleak pike
A lot of games don't pre cache
deft bloom
I usually have 350-600 fps in 5v5 with 7600X and 6700XT
orchid prism
A lot of games don't pre cache
A lot of games are not competitive multiplayer shooters.
"Hang on I gotta do some math, but only for you" is generally considered a no no in those š
deft bloom
yes?
orchid prism
Yes?
bleak pike
Yes?
deft bloom
I mean it can be redeemed by doing what I just said before playing a real game, but that's something that needs to be looked at. would be cool if they had a preload for shaders when you start the game if they aren't cached
orchid prism
If your client suddenly stutters when turning a corner, that is all it takes to lose a match.
Cause the player on the other end has cached those resources, and now get a much better shot at your stuttery ass
deft bloom
csgo had cl_forcepreload 1 which did exactly that, but they removed it during the last 2 years I think because it caused some issues according to a dev, wonder if that's the reason they didn't include preloading again
orchid prism
Shaders should always be possible to precache.
upper plover
I have no issue with cs2 and im just watching people complains about their issues
upper plover
I know cod preload their shaders, making me wait before i can play the game š
novel umbra
What's this
nothing
novel umbra
A game by Creative Assembly usually is pretty alright
well, competitive fps ain't exaclty in their usual catalogue
novel umbra
Lol what it was an fps?
yea
feral ferry
Good grief the overwatch and fortnite effect is unbearable
The anime/cartoon graphics are getting more and more psychedelic
novel umbra
idk we had a bunch of recent games that tried to do new formulas
gameplay wise
like that
or the finals

Oh joy. More scummy mobile gambling games. Time to squeeze that elder scrolls IP a bit harder.
orchid prism
It's basically a reskin of Fallout Shelter.
feral ferry
What metric do you back your argument with
orchid prism
I've reached the point where if a game has a premium currency, it's not a game any more.
It's gambling.
upper plover
Cs is free to playā¦
upper plover
I mean if u want cs2 launch day earned them 40mil with no new content š
feral ferry
Discord client shit the bed again
Well, you are wrong cause there are metrics to back up the "best _ ever" claim
And CS isn't in most of them
upper plover
Cs has 1mil avg concurrent player daily, i will say itās within top 10 games for sure 
And i think over 100mil accounts of csgo alone if Iām not mistaken
But cs2 launch was so bad š
crystal juniper
Yeah that cs2 launch was sketchy, launching a non fully done game and forcing people to move over from cs go right away
Could at least have let people stay on cs go while they fixed the main launch issues and finished the maps
quiet vault
so ow2 launch better then cs2 launch š¤
fringe salmon
Thatās not hard since thatās basically just a hd texture pack for ow2 lol
quiet vault
same as cs š¬
feral ferry
same as cs š¬
Couldn't have a shittier take lol
What did OW2 do that OW1 didn't
It was literally a reskin, same exact game lol
quiet vault
https://www.google.com/amp/s/beebom.com/counter-strike-2-features/amp/ is this really all new in cs?
fringe salmon
Yes?
deft bloom
Nowhere near best selling game
https://steamdb.info/charts/ maybe take a look, CS has always been the king of multiplayer FPS
quiet vault
sadly no real numbers to compare
deft bloom
not only in player counts, but viewers as well. valorant has been the only challenger really, and interest to it seems to be vaning which is good
the pro scene is uncomparable to anything. nothing comes close
fringe salmon
As long as no other esport comes close in ease of viewing it will stay relevant and big
You canāt just watch dota as a random and know whatās going on
deft bloom
yep, that's the beauty of it. not only is it easy to pick up and play since everyone is on an equal field, but it's easy to understand for new viewers as well
quiet vault
i kinda feel like Valorant has more players normally

Multiplayer FPS is quite a branch you picked
Where are the numbers for FFXIV, League of Legends
A lot of more popular MMOs exist than CS
Top 10 F2P MMOFPS Sure. Top 10 MMO? Lol no
deft bloom
what are you babbling about
of course it should be compared to an fps, it's an fps game
quiet vault
does Fortnite count as fps?
feral ferry
Not MMO, not specific genre
Just "top 10 games"
So we are comparing it to cyberpunk, elden ring and co
deft bloom
feral ferry
That was the original point of discussion
deft bloom
this was the original point
feral ferry
If you misinterpret what the point was to change the discussion then I don't care
deft bloom
should not be surprising at all, since it's the king of competitive multiplayer fps games
quiet vault
by what numbers
feral ferry
"counter strike is top 10 games. ofc people care" was my discussion point
Cause.. it's not top 10 games by nearly any metric
fringe salmon
Which is what Aral replied that wasnāt your point though
deft bloom
between 30 to 40 million players monthly. should not be surprising that people care, but you can try to shift the goal posts all you want
24 years of history. a lot of people are interested in trying the new entry in the series out
like don't be an idiot, aite
feral ferry
None of those were the original discussion
"counter strike is top 10 games"
How about we go back to that
fringe salmon
That was a reply to your point not your point
feral ferry
I didn't even have a point
fringe salmon
this was the original point
.
feral ferry
I just made an observation to which someone incorrectly, pointed out that "top 10 game"
So I'm more interested in that
deft bloom
again, look at the things you said and which I responded to
feral ferry
Even then your response was completely wrong
To "nowhere near best selling game" you responded with "look at steam charts"... of a F2P
How about we take a look at how many people bought the premier pass
unborn spruce
Ngl tho CS gets shat on in regard to comp play by Trackmania. Iām pretty sure itās just that and Quake fighting for most ridiculous optimisations.
feral ferry
Which is what the game originally was monetized by before F2P came along
unborn spruce
TMNF players are built different. Scary different.
fringe salmon
Trackmania has like 1/10 of the viewers at peak or less even
unborn spruce
Oh I mean from view and play count yea, but Iām more looking at how far the actual players go.
orchid prism
Teenage Mutant Ninja Freemen?
unborn spruce
Idk any other game that has such a freakish playerbase.
fringe salmon
I mean how far players are is hard to say since there could just be randoms in even smaller games that are cracked
deft bloom
To "nowhere near best selling game" you responded with "look at steam charts"......
yep, that was the other point. not really useful to compare how much something sells when it's free, so there are other metrics which can determine the popularity of <thing here>, coming back to your original point of being surprised why people care
unborn spruce
I meanā¦ there are not a small amount of TMNF players that spent more than 500 hours on a single track to push an extra hundredth or two.
A-01 Speed for example.
Humans shouldnāt have that much sheer dedication.
fringe salmon
Also very different since thatās not really pvp
Where inputs are not changing based on other humans opposing you
unborn spruce
āCourse itās different. Yet I just donāt see players pushing their craft to the brink of possible physics in many other places, and certainly never as hard.
fringe salmon
Because in other games like csgo you have other factors that are absent from racing so you donāt need to focus on them
unborn spruce
128 Deep Fear human run record is now at like 09:56 or something? Thatās legit freakish how much practice that takes.
fringe salmon
You donāt need to be on alert at the same time as calling out stuff and also thinking whatās the enemy doing while you aim a nade
unborn spruce
https://youtu.be/h-suyG1tNRg?si=CMNWjz7hG_yHR7sf Alright yeah I was close.
This is not a run that happens unless youāre in possession of actually scary levels of grind.
To be clear the best TAS run of this map is barely 20 seconds faster.
fringe salmon
Like in theory you could do this eyes closed ears shut and just muscle memory
Like itās very insane still
But you are very focused on one thing and that thing only
So comparing that to CS skill doesnāt really work imo
orchid prism
Imagine speedrunning a 10 minute track over and over.
unborn spruce
I mean yes theyāre very different things, I know. The point is that even with CS players I genuinely donāt see them putting in anywhere remotely as much grind and practice as TM players are.
deft bloom
I have no idea about that game and the mechanics and skills needed can't be directly compared in any way. the grind can however. for example the arguably goat csgo player s1mple has 23000 hours played on his steam account, and many other pro's have similar numbers played. that's grind if anything
unborn spruce
Mudda probably has something like 30k hours, 40k something.
Maybe more. Idk.
Thereās not a clear answer to that.
fringe salmon
Those 23 are just csgo not counting 1.6 and if you play on LAN they might give you different accounts etc.
unborn spruce
I mean guy is considered the best player in the entirety of TM history over all games so it makes sense he has more hours than anyone else does.
fringe salmon
But also you have something like adapting to being a man down or anything in CS, in a race if you bump into the wall you just restart
Itās just such a narrow field vs such a broad set of skills in CS
unborn spruce
Mmmm, yes but no.
TM is less about wide skill range perf and more narrow band perfectionism.
However the stress is what gets people.
fringe salmon
Yeah so you never see that in CS because if someone does 5 rounds of clutching aces something went wrong
unborn spruce
Like say youāre trying to add perfectionism to a map like Deep Fear, you need to check your zones, stay away from Rammstein Borders, be doing flawless speed slides, maintaining speed, all in perfect order without failure at the same time.
You arenāt fighting enemies, youāre fighting the physics engine.
Very very minor mistakes are going to either cause you to think on your feet, the same way CS does, or cause a wipe.
fringe salmon
Yeah but thatās all in one skill set you donāt have adjustments you donāt have changing environment you donāt have mundfaules etc.
There is no adjustment after a mistake there , you restart
unborn spruce
Thatās not how TM works at all.
On maps like Deep Fear? Yes there it does.
But generally speaking no, adjustments are doable.
fringe salmon
If you crash into the wall you canāt get a record so maybe practice but otherwise why not reset
If you have 4 people dead in CS you can still ace a round
unborn spruce
Youād be really surprised what you can recover in TM.
The old games not so much and you donāt see recoveries like that outside of COTD usually.
But in the modern titles yeah itās known to happen.
