The crazy thing is they've increased that performance by 40% since launch

Is this a dream

[cinder chasm]

So will VKB, WinWing, etc.

I have 2 gunfighters. 😉

I was a big elite player for a while. Fuel Ratted, etc.

[bleak pike]

Holy shit lol

I'm actually seeing a game?

What is this

[cinder chasm]

It isn't released yet... it's ok.

[bleak pike]

Holy

The improvements are like top notch

I'm actually impressed by scam citizen

And excited

[bleak pike]

Being in the polished phase is huge

I'm genuinely surprised they even got there

I was expecting them to get to this point in 10 years 🤣

[cinder chasm]

That's the claim. I'll believe it when I see it.

And this is only the single player.

[bleak pike]

Yes I know

I don't care about scam citizen

That's never going to be finished and people are delusional if they think it will

[cinder chasm]

It could be fun in single player.

who knows.

[bleak pike]

But squadron 42 they can't keep dragging on with how much it's cost

The cast alone cost millions

[cinder chasm]

In general, I like single player sandboxes, over the multi.

[bleak pike]

Mark Hamill

If this game actually comes out this is what starfirld should have been

That's what it is

Did you watch the hour long gameplay a few years ago?

https://youtu.be/a5Q-QFvFHxg?si=sKCBf73R5p5GyH5K

Looked amazing back then but looks more amazing now holy

Need a super computer

Man this is nuts

Also I love Mark Hamill so much XD

Seriously

If this game comes out and lives up to what he's showing...

It'll be a major milestone

[cinder chasm]

Using a wheel or controller?

[feral drum]

lol citcon?

"75 hairstyles in 6 months", "game ready assets"

[feral drum]

major milestone after how many years of development?

right... 11 YEARS!

Scam Citizen is nothing but a scam. I mean even their own employees say the CEO is spending more money on office furniture than development

[cinder chasm]

haven't had a spot to setup a wheel... I'll have to wait to hear how it plays on controller. 🙂

Also I'll admit... I'm a bit scared of the "EA" factor.

[cinder chasm]

If they have more than ~10 devs, that's some damn good furnature.

[cinder chasm]

Looking over the car list... I'm really surprised how few modern cars they have.

Yeah, tempted to pre-order, but somehow I know if I do it on steam it'll get screwed up.

https://www.ign.com/articles/konami-confirms-metal-gear-solid-master-collection-vol-1-issues-to-be-addressed-post-launch

lol

[hardy merlin]

They haven't even released yet and they have launch issues kek

[still spire]

Mhm

[bleak pike]

I mean starfield took 7 years

But I agree

I also believe scam citizen is a scam

[small comet]

i also

[hardy merlin]

It's not a game, but someone's passion project, so it was doomed from the start

[bleak pike]

Squadron 42 isn't a passion project though, at least not in the same sense as scam citizen.

[small comet]

passion project or not it is a paid game isnt it

[hardy merlin]

I'd reckon anything RSI develops is in some way or another

[hardy merlin]

yup

[bleak pike]

It's a fully fledged paid game that's not out yet yes

[small comet]

so that argument flies out the window quite fast

[bleak pike]

Wdym

[small comet]

passion project or not: if its paid its paid

doesnt matter how much of a hobby/passion it is to you as a dev

[bleak pike]

Ohhhh

[small comet]

also from what i recall it made millions

[hardy merlin]

Oh yeah, they should deliver no matter what
But it was the passion project so it won't develop as game as usual, no matter if paid or not

[bleak pike]

Well anyway, squadron 42 is linear and probably spent millions on the cast alone and from the recent video I'm actually hopeful, 5 years ago with the hour long gameplay I was already impressed but not hopeful.

But again I'm not really on about star citizen

[hardy merlin]

Ummm...

[bleak pike]

I think there's a huge difference between making a passion project on the scale of star citizen Vs the linear campaign experience of squadron 42

[hardy merlin]

May be, but if they go crazy with the story or characters then who knows

[bleak pike]

Also can you even buy Squadron 42? Wasn't that originally a perk?

[small comet]

starcitizen just reminds me of chronicles of elyria

5 or so yrs and millions of dollars for nothing

all the got was copium

[bleak pike]

Ye

[hardy merlin]

Pledge page returns 404, so I guess you can't

[bleak pike]

Ye, I swear originally it was a mega early bonus.

[small comet]

like i do hope starcitizen comes out but i feel like it wont be worth the money they got

[bleak pike]

For a limited time

[bleak pike]

This lol

[small comet]

those hundreds of millions will probably amount to a little bit better than starfield

[bleak pike]

Mark Hamill once called the star citizen fan base a cult

Which is funny

[deft bloom]

which is true

[still spire]

Finally Alien Isolation is playable

[fallow bronze]

they split it off ages ago. first when you bought star citizen you got both

[feral ferry]

Still nowhere near GTA 6 probably

I bet GTA VI is easily over 1 billion in development fees

[hardy merlin]

In July it was over $2bn https://www.gamingbible.com/news/platform/gta-6-price-most-expensive-entertainment-product-all-time-387291-20230719

But they can spend as much

[feral ferry]

They will earn 4x that

At least

[hardy merlin]

Try 30x

GTA V costed $265m, earned $7.7bn

[feral ferry]

Uh, no

I doubt they will somehow multiply that amount 30x

8 billion I imagine they will earn in first year prolly

Then hell knows how many more in Online, etc

[hardy merlin]

Over 10 years? $50~60bn? Doesn't seem impossible. Especially if GTA Online will be constantly updated and "patched"

[small comet]

you mean if they offer shark cards

[hardy merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/bond-james-name-gif-23438741

FIFA earned over $1.3bn in a quarter, and GTA is way more popular

[feral ferry]

I think we are far overestimating the popularity of Online gameplay models

Pretty good

Not all of those people play Online, or pay, to begin with

[hardy merlin]

That's on Steam only
There are also Epic players, so much that they've literally DDoSed Epic's servers once they gave GTA V for free
Also Rockstar launcher players
Also console players

[feral ferry]

What is obvious is that GTA6 will easily become highest earning game ever lol

But not 50 billion

Those are insane sums

[hardy merlin]

$10 billion which GTA V is projected to earn by the end of the year is also insane

[feral ferry]

That is pretty insane

I doubt GTA VI will earn much more than that though

GTA5 launched at a period of pretty good economic situation in the world, nowadays it's less than that

Alan Wake 2, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, ARK: Survival Ascended, Dungeons of Hinterberg and more

ARK being here is somewhat interesting

Never heard of Dungeons of Hinterberg

"first gameplay for Ark: Survival Ascended"

Maybe they finally fixed the game's performance by remastering the game

[vapid lintel]

https://tenor.com/view/doubt-press-x-la-noire-meme-x-button-gif-19259237

[hardy merlin]

We've changed the title
That'll be $70

[feral ferry]

I remember buying Ark, heavily regret that

[hardy merlin]

I don't remember getting it for free and still heavily regret that

[vapid lintel]

Ark is my most played game on Steam, a fact that gives me great shame

[fallow bronze]

I spend lots of hours in it. I regret that

It's just such a huge timesink

[cinder chasm]

There is always room for Rockstar to screw up. They haven't so far... but I've thought that of other studios.

[novel umbra]

Pretending like 343 made a good game

[feral ferry]

PD is a 2025 title

They mentioned that back when the announcement happened

The game was nowhere near release

Fable is prolly coming next year

I am a bit cautious about Fable

They did mention to expect a more.. slimmed down experience

I hope it's not a linear mess

Didn't something bad happen to those devs

Ah yeah it was that their studio director left

@flat frost https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/insiders-describe-fast-and-furious-exits-from-xboxs-perfect-dark-studio/

Perfect Dark is not coming anytime soon

2025 at least

Basically what I linked

When did I mention that PD is coming next year

I said 2025, at least

Fable I expect at 2024 maybe

But I don't expect them to be good games

Microsoft doesn't know how to do AAA

Let alone that

[novel umbra]

Rip

[feral ferry]

Microsoft's recent track record since Halo Infinite is horrible

Halo was a mess

The new Forza apparently is a mess

Their big studios are having major layoffs or restructuring

Starfield is Starfield lol

Bethesda can't stick to the schedule, partly due to covid, many deadlines missed for projects missed, Starfield delayed by 2 years

Where's the Indiana Jones game anyways, how are they planning to release Indiana Jones by Todd, Elder Scrolls 6 by Todd, and also Fallout and Elder Scrolls remasters

Microsoft doesn't know how to do AAA, period

Sony somehow has a good grip on their game development divisions, I hope Microsoft learns

Isn't that the Josh Sawyer title

Wasn't Sawyer working on it

[novel umbra]

Wtf is contraband

Ah

[feral ferry]

I remember the announcement

Yeah nothing we have heard on that for a long time

Tbf I completely forgot that Xbox even owns Avalanche

[novel umbra]

Lol

[feral ferry]

Might be just me, but Avalanche is a bit of a.. C tier studio

[novel umbra]

Didn't even know they did

[feral ferry]

Their games are a bit shite

[novel umbra]

[feral ferry]

Indeed

JC4 was a bit shite

JC3 was alright but that was nearly a decade ago

[novel umbra]

Even jc3 was a ton of jank

[feral ferry]

They made Rage 2 lol, a game everyone forgot

[novel umbra]

Lol

[feral ferry]

I played it and it was very unremarkable

[novel umbra]

I started rage 2

And quit as soon as i got to the car

[feral ferry]

I started it for a few hours and ditched it

[novel umbra]

Absolutely hated it

Maybe i should give it another try idk

[feral ferry]

It was not an enticing experience

[novel umbra]

People seemed to like it for some reason

[feral ferry]

Avalanche has not made a game that for me was a "good" game

A very mid studio

Although they made Mad Max

Wasn't that a bit botched?

[barren pewter]

That was great

How was it botched?

[feral ferry]

mixed reviews from critics, yeah they botched it

[novel umbra]

Mad max was great

But repetitive

[barren pewter]

Because it isn’t 100% conventional and the story itself isn’t that compelling

But taking it as it is, it is a great game

[feral ferry]

Not the best thing I have ever seen

So they have 2 alright games then, Just Cause 3 and Mad Max

Nothing really.. wow factor

Speaking of Xbox and game studios that have fallen off hard

What happened to Obsidian?

They have been releasing, apart from Pentiment which was Josh Sawyer's pet project, some uninspired mediocre games

[novel umbra]

oh yea fuck I remember why i didn't play it further

I spent more time fixing inputs than axtually playing the game

control scheme was fucked

no

I don't play fps with controlers

which was the whole issue

ducking was on c

ctrl was some ability

[feral ferry]

Avowed looks like Obsidian's best attempt at remaking Skyrim

[novel umbra]

but you can't swap them

[feral ferry]

And I don't know why

[novel umbra]

and getting ads speed and regular speed lined up was also stupid

iirc was 2:1

[feral ferry]

Ngl there is only one Xbox studio I genuinely care about right now

And that's Compulsion

I have a lot of hope for compulsion to deliver something amazing

The Line at least was from a phenomenal franchise and was a great 7 hour story

I played SpecOps all the way back on my PSX

You know what is a game that they keep always showing off, but it never seems to release?

Hellblade Senua's Saga 2 or whatever it's called

It feels like they have been making that game for years

[barren pewter]

yeah...the original rage was fun as hell
didn't really do much to attract attention

Rage 2 was just...what

[feral ferry]

AGM-65 Maverick?

Who are we bombing?

[half vine]

Rainbow six siege

[feral ferry]

Nobody cares

What's this game studio

Haven't heard of them

[hardy merlin]

Polish dudes who made Painkiller, Bulletstorm and Outriders, they were working for Epic on Fortnite a bit, now they're independent again

[feral ferry]

The only of those I have heard are Painkiller and Outriders

[hardy merlin]

Ya, Bulletstorm is the most popular one

[feral ferry]

Bulletstorm is 2011 so no, never heard of it

2011 I still had a completely ass PC with 2000s APU and a PS2

No PS3 or 4

And I wasn't playing PC games at that point

My PC couldn't run Minecraft, or barely lol

So I was playing mostly the really old titles on my PC, MMORPGs, browser games, or just the stuff I had on PS2

I only started to play games proper in 2015 cause I wanted to play Witcher 3 and bought a PC with a proper GPU

I have not played it

I have heard of it

[deft bloom]

stake gun simulator

wish I had a steak gun

240p

[tough jay]

I liked the idea of bulletstorm but execution wise there was definitely room for improvement.
Was quite some time ago though.

True, it just became a bit repeditive if I remember correctly.
Maybe a more skill based version where you actively had to think about your combo's / flow would have been better

In a somewhat similar vein MadWorld on the Wii was also pretty interesting.

Back when that came out my wii was the only current-gen system I had, until I finally got enough money to upgrade my pc.
So I think I should know most semi-decent wii games.

[fallow bronze]

I liked the first 2. Haven't played 3

[feral ferry]

[fading spade]

ISTG, NSFW Artists are going to LOOVEEEEE Elephant Peach

[fallow bronze]

"first" 2

[hardy merlin]

Weird you realized this now and not like 3 months ago

[fallow bronze]

The new remakes hehe

[feral ferry]

Wonder only launched like, less than a week back?

[hardy merlin]

But Elephant Peach Rule 34 images are drawn since August...

[feral ferry]

In my very honest opinion

It's prolly the best game on Switch as a Nintendo first party release

I would say it's about on par with Breath of the Wild

Some amazing quality to it

Far better than TOTK

[hardy merlin]

[feral ferry]

Fuckin Sony, re-releasing old trash

A lot of peeps have been complaining about Spider Man 2

Something about uninspired open world, reused assets, etc

Idk, don't really care much but that much has been cropping up recently

Not sure how you hear the exact opposite but alright

There's definitely a lot of criticism towards the open world

[tough jay]

Sony has been focussing more on pc, so who knows the gap between the console and pc release may be shorter.
Just hope the release will be polished and scalable.

[feral ferry]

There was also a clip where player climbs the highest building in the entire map, and just showcases the vista

A really nice looking game

But then they shoot spiderwebs like 10km into the distance and use them as propulsion to launch themselves off the building

That moment was like.. what?

Where the fuck are you firing off your spiderwebs

So, I am trying hard to find the original clip

But this is how this is supposed to work https://imgur.com/4WRpCTI

Looks really good

The clip I saw was hella scuffed

Oh yeah there's.. uh.. this https://vxtwitter.com/PopSciCul/status/1716541385447215234

https://vxtwitter.com/Cyael/status/1716269987122307364

There's definitely been a LOT of clips of how borked the game is

https://vxtwitter.com/Sgr_Vx/status/1716460990177419389

I have no clue what this bug is

But I kinda like it

FOUND IT

https://vxtwitter.com/screentime/status/1715380120800891337

This fuckin clip

Where the fuck are you shooting your webs

Like as much as the swinging is hella cool, there's a lot of weird stuff

Like the webs just traveling 5 miles or whatever in speed of light

Or the character just starting to glide if you shoot out your web while falling

Eh but seems alright this game

@flat frostYou are familiar with Marvel lore yeah?

I didn't grow up in a country with much superhero presence

Is Spiderman having so much pressure in his wrist glands to shoot off 10 miles worth of string in a nanosecond a canon thing?

[pure bear]

why is there no velvet worm man

they are much cuter

https://tenor.com/view/worms-nature-squirt-gif-9005496

look at their stubby feet

[feral ferry]

Might just be me but imo Marvel has kinda killed itself with its scale

You have the local superheroes, like Spiderman

International superheroes

World heroes

Then space heroes, galaxy heroes

Or even omni-potent godly creatures that control the omniverse that you can fight

Like, I think by just raising the power scaling so much, I have very little interest in some puny Spider man

Like who tf is spiderman compared to idk, captain marvel

[pure bear]

superheroes were boring after like 2 movies

[flat frost]

dc is much the same

[feral ferry]

I forgot that wonder woman is DC

At this point I have no clue what is DC and what is not

Seems like the same thing, Marvel and DC, just merge

[hardy merlin]

Amazon Studios* is the goat when it comes to animations

SUPER MARIO BROS WONDER SPOILER

[grizzled quarry]

Probably fake but it looks cool ig

[severe compass]

I did not watch the Starfield video but lemme guess what the developer says
"We wanted to do so much more, but the Creation Engine is the equivalent of a senile retiree on his deathbed, and we really couldn't push for anything beyond Fallout, but in Space with any graphical improvements making it chug cyanide like its going out of fashion"

[grizzled quarry]

Is it confirmed where the GTA 6 map is gonna be?

Or is that still unknown

[zenith flower]

Makes sense reading that

[cinder chasm]

TBH: I loved Vice City. It fit their vibe well.

[grizzled quarry]

Can't wait for GTA 6 vs vice city graphics comparison

[cinder chasm]

Also if you knew what you were doing you could infinitely kill cops, for cash in the apache. 🙂

[grizzled quarry]

Nah that's probably just like a promo thing

They gotta release a PC version on launch

Why would they wait for next Gen consoles to release a PC version? Doesn't make sense to me

[feral ferry]

That is fake

I know it's fake cause the "loaded game" is the leaked footage from last year, when Rockstar's slack got hacked

https://archive.org/details/GTA6_All-90_Very-Early_Leaked-Dev-Clips

The clip that the "load screen" has loaded into is clip 86

I think I have also seen this before, and I doubt that's a real image

[still spire]

Alright MGS collection is out

Sweet:P

[feral ferry]

Ah yeah here's your poster https://www.reddit.com/r/GTA6/comments/xtpfl3/heres_a_gta_6_poster_i_made_3_years_ago/

@flat frost you got debunked hard on this one

[novel umbra]

I mean

has several red flags

car is branded with a real brand

doesn't properly sit on the ground

the road is too rough

and I doubt they would market a new game with an 80s car

also looks too flashy for a hero car

[feral ferry]

If you have time, look at the clips, rn the traffic on archive.org is pretty low so the clips load rather fast

They are quite interesting imo, good peek at how game development works

Tbf we don't actually know they are real, only that hackers got access to the Slack of GTA6 and ripped all the files and clips there

But I mean, that is way too high quality to be fake

apex is alright

[feral ferry]

Not bad

8/10 from gamespot

[quiet vault]

tbh i dont really care about story/ single player games

[boreal igloo]

im ngl i dont even play many new games

[feral ferry]

Weirdo

[quiet vault]

i mean you play them for like a week-month

[boreal igloo]

all ive played recently is osu!, trackmania and whatever quakelike arena shooter i feel like playing

[quiet vault]

and then long pause till there is a dlc or sum

[boreal igloo]

my attention span is too short to focus on story i wanna fly around the map and shoot people

[quiet vault]

Multiplayer/comp games are much better for wasting time

[boreal igloo]

yea

[quiet vault]

and you play with friends so its more fun

[boreal igloo]

though a good story can kinda draw you in for a good few hours easily

[quiet vault]

ye its like a longer movie

[boreal igloo]

though i find it hard to really get into the story in a lot of games

[quiet vault]

or show

[boreal igloo]

dunno why

like i just forget about the game

ill do 2-3 sessions and then just stop playing

[quiet vault]

i guess you didn't like it then

[boreal igloo]

well how can i not like everything

im convinced i just have negative attention span

[quiet vault]

overlay subway surfers gameplay

[boreal igloo]

probably would work

[hardy merlin]

Or maybe because majority of single-player games nowadays have boring and forgettable stories, idk

[quiet vault]

they should integrate that into consoles

like Microsoft could have Inbuild Minecraft jump& run video

[boreal igloo]

idk people say cyberpunk is great yet i just got bored, same with the witcher 3, many games that are extremely well received

new or old

ive tried to play witcher like 5 times and never get very far because i just lose interest some way or another even though i actually enjoy it

[quiet vault]

Do you like watching movies

[boreal igloo]

usually

[hardy merlin]

W3 was good, CP2077 is meh
I don't like FPS "number-based" RPGs
If I shoot a headshot with a gun I expect it to be a headshot, and not 1 damage because of "level"

[boreal igloo]

that's fair enough

just heard it was good so I thought I'd try it

[quiet vault]

You are the problem 😜

[boreal igloo]

this is true

[hardy merlin]

FNV had a good balance between RPG mechanics and giving player a feeling you're holding a gun and not a stick

[boreal igloo]

but i want to become not the problem

;(

[quiet vault]

then change

[boreal igloo]

🧐

how

[quiet vault]

buy my course for 499€

[boreal igloo]

ok i just need 498 eur

gimme a few years

[quiet vault]

good luck getting them 👍

I'll wait

[boreal igloo]

thank you

[hardy merlin]

Cut out instantly gratifying stuff, such as short videos like TikTok or YT shorts

[boreal igloo]

yea I've been trying that recently

[quiet vault]

drink water

[boreal igloo]

i spend too much time watching shorts as it is

[quiet vault]

go to gym

sleep enough

[hardy merlin]

Is 3 hours enough?

[boreal igloo]

sleeping is impossible but i shall try

[quiet vault]

don't tell me

im still awake

[lucid brook]

why would one go sleep at 11:55am

Oh yeah

[boreal igloo]

[hardy merlin]

Nah, it lives at work constantly

[quiet vault]

ah work

thats also making u sleepy probably

[hardy merlin]

16 hours of work, 5 hours of helping my brother with his uni stuff, 3 hours of sleep, and today another 12 or more hours of work

[quiet vault]

that doesn't sound legal

[lucid brook]

why would you help your brother with uni

[hardy merlin]

Because I want him to pass physics 101

I thought my adventure with uni will end after 5 years

I was wrong ;-;

[lucid brook]

what is he studying?

[hardy merlin]

It's kinda not, but we had to sign agreements we will voluntarily work more overtimes than our labour code allows

i quit college when i had to do 8 different projects in a semester with no real world application

[hardy merlin]

I finished CS with MEng somehow
and helped my 3 friends get their BEngs

Now I'm working on my brother ;-;

One of my friend barely made it with BEng because I wrote his bachelor's thesis
Now he's trying to pass master's course, but he's "writing" his thesis for nearly a year now
His "writing" is asking me and his brother to check for errors, but all he does is just pasting stuff from ChatGPT
And playing MMORPGs

Looks like one guy who hasn't any experience with game dev hit blunt and thought "Imma make Don't Starve, but with more sex"
And that's what he did

Although this publisher has 29 such games on Steam

Please don't

This is fuckin weird

I don't really have hemophobia but man the thought of that makes me uneasy

[tropic vapor]

apparently they're doing it only if a blood drive reaches a donation goal

[feral ferry]

That PC makes no sense whatsoever

[tropic vapor]

still kind of odd how they're making a pc cooled with blood though

[feral ferry]

Blood is thick, it won't do much

[tropic vapor]

would it even be efficient at cooling

[feral ferry]

Like, whose blood is it, what if it spills

I bet they will test it before putting it there but there are some nasty diseases from blood

There are better things to do with blood anyways, just do red dyed water or someshit

[still spire]

It's the blood of Satan

[pure bear]

it would fuck up the fins etc big time

maybe they take plasma and recolor it or some shit

PS5 got jailbreak?
Gotta get one before patched versions will get into stores :3

[feral ferry]

Not necessarily

It's a jailbreak as far as you can play all PS4 titles

Including things like P.T I guess, Bloodborne

But PS5 games are off limits for now

[hardy merlin]

So... all games available on PS5

[feral ferry]

Hmm

Well yes basically

[fading spade]

75wH battery gosh damn

I want that on the Deck

expensive though ;-;

[feral ferry]

Mod it in then

[hardy merlin]

19,5 Ah, just like a powerbank

[fading spade]

the battery is the nearly impossible to remove on the Deck cause its like permaglued down

[hardy merlin]

But Deck is chonky and heavy, an it weighs only 669g
Kun is 950g
Hardly a "handheld"

[fading spade]

and larger than the Deck cause 8.6 inch display

[feral ferry]

It's a bludgeon to smack passers-by with

[fading spade]

doesnt come with case so you need to find one for it

[pure bear]

aya neo is a joke

they announce a new handheld every few weeks

[fading spade]

Yeah , all the Chinese brands do

[hardy merlin]

Early bird is $999?! WTF?!

[feral ferry]

There are some major questions how many they sell

[hardy merlin]

Eh, as long as other handheld manufacturers are focusing on performance and not on ergonomics and battery life Deck will be on the top

[feral ferry]

With Deck out, Ally, the chinesium one as well

I highly doubt that GPD, Aya will sell much

[fading spade]

still cheaper than the Valve Deck Dock!

[hardy merlin]

There will be some "enthusiasts" who will buy it solely for Internet clout and some "Better than Deck hur dur" posts on Reddit and then chuck it into the corner after a month or so once they bet bored of it

[fading spade]

then buy the next one the brand release only a few weeks after they bought this one

idk, id never feel "secure" buying from brands like this cause you wait so long for the group buy to happen and by then their newer model is out on kickstarter and probably the same price as the one you are still waiting for

[slim token]

exact same price

[fading spade]

Thought Deck Dock is 100?

yeah it is xd

[fading spade]

wtf, region pricing wack

[hardy merlin]

Wha?

[fading spade]

$89 = 82 Euro, but officially its 100 euro

wtf

[hardy merlin]

479PLN~=€108

[fading spade]

oh my

I love how Valve sells only in USD, CAD, GBP, EUR and... Polish złoty

Our currency strong!

[novel umbra]

Vat

[fading spade]

oh

[hardy merlin]

With 23% VAT it'd be more expensive

Thanks Volvo

[hardy merlin]

Sure enough, I'm comfortable with buying from Valve, because they have great customer support and invested heavily into Linux gaming ecosystem
Others just take some off the shelf laptop chip, smack a lot of RAM, bigger storage and higher resolution screen, sprinkle with Windows and call it done, not giving a flying f about stuff like ergonomics, battery life...

[fading spade]

Yep

and their "console like UI" implentation is half baked and jank

its just a side panel that floats above the regular windows desktop

[hardy merlin]

Most rely on Steam's Big Picture anyway
The one made for Deck

[vapid lintel]

Big Picture wasn't made for the Steam Deck lol

It was made for the Steam Controller

[fading spade]

well, the new UI design was!

the previous one was so damn ugly

Welcome to launch week of Bethesda's Starfield nearly 2 months ago

This was shared already back then

[hardy merlin]

I know Bethesda engine too well
And I'm amazed how nothing has clipped through the floor
And the game didn't crash

[feral ferry]

You are from the old days then cause Starfield weirdly is rather stable

[fading spade]

C O N S U M E

[feral ferry]

(things to still clip into the walls though)

Oof

Oh this is funny

They had to launch a performance guide cause they fucked it

[small comet]

my hardware: 5950x, 3090, 32GB DDR4

Cons
No steam workshop support MASSIVE L
Bad performance, even in main menu MASSIVE L
Emergency vehicles have no animations of their actions, makes it look very boring
I already know the DLCs will be too expensive
No construction site animations
missing detasils: leasure activities like parks have no humans in it, making it look dead
wildfire animation L
Cant change mouse sensitivity in 2023


Pros
seasons are great
overall artstyle is beautiful

oof

"Steve Sinclair will assume CEO duties effective immediately"

The fuckin dude that's responsible for feature creep is going to CEO now

He's a good game designer, but out of touch with long term game development

I have no clue how he will be a corpo though

[small comet]

love how almost all positive reviews on steam are either review copies or memes/trolls

and a very few hopeful and clinging to a change thats coming fast

[feral ferry]

Narrator: it didn't

[orchid prism]

The game has two major challenges.

Performance. And convincing players that not using the Steam workshop is better long-term.

The latter being more of a "everyone gets mods, not just PC players" and "workshop is godawful for games with frequent, savegame breaking patches. Cause you can't make mods version specific.

[small comet]

@vapid lintel initial thoughts on cs2?

[vapid lintel]

Initial thoughts after 51 minutes of riveting gameplay, laying out some roads and basics services:

• Performance is perfectly fine (I have 0 citizens and graphics dropped relatively low)
• Placing roads such that zoning grids are flush is unnecessarily difficult, though eminently achievable with some fiddling

I haven't dropped below 60 FPS yet with a 3070 and 5600X

[small comet]

what does performance is fine mean

30fps?

60?

[vapid lintel]

But I also have null of a city thus far

Oh the tutorial was a Collosal pain in the ass, turned that off after about 60 seconds

[small comet]

most people had sub 30fps in the menu let alone a loaded map

[vapid lintel]

I did not have that experience at all

is it good?

but this is the second suboptimal cs2 this year

[feral ferry]

If you ask the 140 million people or so that bought a Nintendo console, yes

And is prolly this year's GOTY

I hate it with a bit of a passion but eh, don't listen to me I'm old and cranky

[deft bloom]

didn't like it at all either

[feral ferry]

Tbf my expectations were a bit too high for it

What I wanted from it:

switch 2 really needed

for good graphics

[feral ferry]

Yeah, sure

Switch is based on maxwell and that's getting really old

[quiet vault]

max ain't well anymore:/

[feral ferry]

At least with Switch 2 they have the performance benefit to never release this shit ever again

What a fuckin disgrace

[orchid prism]

No incentive to stop.

[feral ferry]

Tbf I have a feeling I only care for Nintendo just cause of Pokemon lol

That's the only franchise they have that I am really interested in

[quiet vault]

mario kart

[feral ferry]

Ew, mario

[quiet vault]

[feral ferry]

Ah yeah they also publish fire emblem

Never played fire emblem, but it looks alright

Animal Crossing? Hell no, boring af
Donkey Kong? Kid's trash
F-Zero? Dead franchise

[feral ferry]

What now

Yes I remember my childhood, I got a PSX in 2005 with a bunch of incredible games

I don't remember when I got a PS2

Like 2008 or so?

[novel umbra]

that is not a performance issue

or games looking ugly

[tropic vapor]

i think the main problem with the pokemon games nowadays is the release cycle is too strict giving game freak no time to make the games

its being hurt by a yearly-ish release cycle

[novel umbra]

nobody sets them a fixed release cycle though

[feral ferry]

It is a performance and graphical quality issue from hardware, cause BOTW wasn't amazing either and that's a cream of the crop title for Nintendo

[tropic vapor]

the release cycle still has to be somewhat tight though given there's 3 seasons of the anime per generation and ever so many tcg sets

[feral ferry]

No Nintendo game that's 3D looks or works good

[novel umbra]

look at xenoblade 3

[feral ferry]

2D games though are perfect

[novel umbra]

game runs fine for switch standards

and looks a lot better

[tropic vapor]

but the pokemon company decides the speed of that and hands it down to game freak etc

[novel umbra]

considering the plattform, yea

[tropic vapor]

but like look what happened when they gave game freak more time by offloading the gen 4 remakes to ilca

we got legends arceus

i mean yeah the gen 4 remakes kinda dropped the ball but i'm specifically talking about game freak here

[novel umbra]

which also looks like ass

[feral ferry]

Look Switch was never about fidelity

[tropic vapor]

it at least looks better than s/v lmao

[feral ferry]

I actually really liked Arceus from gameplay side

It was a new take on pokemon and it was great

[novel umbra]

yes, but the pokemon games are especially bad examples

[feral ferry]

Truth be told, I love pokemon as a franchise cause the mainlines always come up with good ideas

But the good games come from fans

Pokemon: Infinite Fusion eh

Waiting for a good 3D take on the Pokemon genre, with autobattling, stealth, etc from the indie community

[tropic vapor]

i still enjoy the pokemon anime a fair bit but i dont really play the newer pokemon games anymore because the magic of those got lost on me

i really should play legends arceus though

[feral ferry]

I did grow up with low end gaming and graphics I can easily ignore

A bummer, but I can ignore

I am a bit susceptible to lag and just general bad performance though

Which Scarlet/Violet had a lot of

[tropic vapor]

my complaint isnt necessarily the graphics, its just that even with these pokemon games having poor graphics they still run like crap somehow

[feral ferry]

But they were fun to play

Like, I always care most about gameplay, and for me Pokemon Sword and Shield, Arceus and Scarlet/Violet were really really fun

More fun than the 2D ones

[tropic vapor]

i low key actually enjoyed sw/sh

[feral ferry]

I have heard of that, no clue what that is

[tropic vapor]

isnt that the game that sold out to epic, betraying their crowdfunding backers

[novel umbra]

not another fucking farming game

it's such a meme at this point

[tropic vapor]

well they promised to their backers that they would release first on steam but then they signed off on exclusivity rights with epic games

from what i hear

[feral ferry]

It's actually funny cause global @'s don't work for anyone but admins I'm pretty sure

So they just ping the admins lol

[novel umbra]

nope

[tropic vapor]

no thats not how it works

[novel umbra]

they ping nobody

[orchid prism]

Not even.

[tropic vapor]

global @ doesnt work at all if you dont have perms

admins are a specific seperate @ probably

[tough jay]

Sad part is that it's probably a hacked account from 2017 turned spammer.

[feral ferry]

Hm, sad

[feral ferry]

That does raise questions what if one of the oldies here get hacked and start spamming

Surely they don't get a permaban

[orchid prism]

They get a ban, and then they can PM us when they get their account back.

[novel umbra]

token theft is a thing

[tough jay]

Or recycling a passport while not using the account for years.

[feral ferry]

If they get your tokens then you are fucked anyways, yis

[tough jay]

I once had my reddit hacked when using a I really do not give a shit password from ages ago.
That one was in multiple leaked password databases.

[feral ferry]

Phishing is getting sophisticated

[tropic vapor]

its not as simple as that, they dont usually ask for your token outright they just install malware that does the job for them

[tough jay]

I still sometimes use it when I really can't be bothered to fill it in my password manager and just need an account once.

[tropic vapor]

token stealing bypasses 2fa

[novel umbra]

^

[orchid prism]

Just shows how unsecure they are without more rigid hardware checks.

[feral ferry]

Authorization is a pretty big problem with discord nowadays

[tropic vapor]

i mean yeah thats kinda obvious but some people still fall for it somehow

[tough jay]

I really wouldn't mind if discord logins expired a bit faster, as pasting the password from my password manager every week is no big deal and protects against token theft reasonably well.

[feral ferry]

Some bots are legit, you authorize them, and they get hacked and they snack your tokens

[orchid prism]

Sincerily fuck that.

[feral ferry]

I highly doubt you are omniscient and wouldn't fall for some of the higher level social engineering attacks lol

Like a legit Google address writing you about your account being compromised with no outlying red flags

[tropic vapor]

like full DMARC pass and everything or does DMARC fail

[feral ferry]

That does make you actually more susceptible

Getting older is getting less in touch with the modern stuff

[tropic vapor]

you still need to be aware of new scams that crop up, scammers and cybercriminals always adapt so you have to adapt back and know what they're doing to stay safe

the best defense against scams is awareness

[feral ferry]

Jesus, grandpa, retire already

[tropic vapor]

and even then that wont always get you all the way
like that recent webm arbitrary code execution exploit that affected discord

[feral ferry]

Isn't there a brand new probably unpatched webp exploit?

[tropic vapor]

webp is just webm with a single frame i believe

theyre the same format under the hood

[feral ferry]

I mean this is the game channel but eh

[feral ferry]

So a pretend celebrity?

Never heard of them

[tropic vapor]

reminds me of those times when ads on twitch get some random twitch partner to show up on their ad to advertise the product
and ive like never heard of whoever is in the ad

are they independent or are they part of a specific outlet im curious

[feral ferry]

Indeed

I have not heard of many things

Lol, games journalism is ass

Done with that shit since gamergate

[tropic vapor]

its hard to trust game reviews from game journalism outlets nowadays
given people just get randomly assigned games to review nowadays
meaning sometimes you get someone reviewing a game that really isnt in a position to review it

think like someone that hates playing RPGs getting assigned one to review

[feral ferry]

Literally today by the way

Golden Joystick awards

This is gaming journalism in 2023

Paid promotions

[tropic vapor]

how the hell did a turtle beach headset win that entire brand is a walking dumpster when it comes to headphones

every single turtle beach headset ive had back then broke... fast

[feral ferry]

Samsung 990 series last I heard are ass

I have never heard of whatever that Asus rog strix scope thing is

Wtf is a Nitro Deck?

[tropic vapor]

keyboard i think

[feral ferry]

There were good hardware launches this year lol

Or even last year

Half of those are just blatant paid promos

I'm not too willing to call AW3423DWF a paid promo cause that's a genuinely impressive display

ZUID HOLLAND

[tropic vapor]

psvr2 sounds like a damn good headset, its just shackled by it being limited to the ps5 instead of there being a way to use it with a pc

[feral ferry]

It's alright I guess

VR been a bit dead though recently

[tropic vapor]

fair tbh

[feral ferry]

Not many VR goggles launches, no real titles launching

[tropic vapor]

you dont see people talking about vr that much anymore

[feral ferry]

Oh yeah about golden joystick

[orchid prism]

Mentlegen. This is #🎮│game, not #toofast_twomemes

[feral ferry]

A lot of the nominations are fucking weird

But the weirdest was this for me

Wtf is a digital eclipse or mimimimimi games

[orchid prism]

Dude.

[tropic vapor]

iirc mimimi games made a really good stealth game that kinda popped off

[feral ferry]

I had to look up those studios and they have done nothing of interest lol

[tropic vapor]

then they closed down

[orchid prism]

You're not done with games journalism. You're just done, period.

[feral ferry]

Digital eclipse seems to remake old titles nobody cares or have heard about

[quiet vault]

who tf is Nintendo

[feral ferry]

Mimimi launched nothing of notability

[tropic vapor]

the place where that kid on the playground's parents work at

[feral ferry]

Desperados is an alright franchise though

Someone's heard of Shadow Tactics before?

No? Anyways

[tropic vapor]

from what i hear it was a sleeper indie hit

[feral ferry]

Golden joysticks seem pretty damn off this year

[tropic vapor]

how did cd projekt red get nominated
wasnt cyberpunk a disaster, or did they somehow turn it around

[feral ferry]

They did turn it around

[tropic vapor]

happy for that then tbh

[feral ferry]

I kinda debated which studio to give the award, Larian, Project or Nintendo

I think Nintendo takes it

[orchid prism]

Kind of turned it around, but also changed how expansions were marketed which people weren't fans of

i.e charging for what should have been in the game from day 1

[feral ferry]

Oh yeah proof that VR is kinda done for right now

What are any of these titles

Other than horizon

[tropic vapor]

F1 23 is probably just formula one

[feral ferry]

And Horizon is well, Horizon

[orchid prism]

Pacifica is so damn empty in the base game, that the rollercoaster ride feels like it's the only thing you're going to remember from there, except 2mins of dialogue with da spooky voodoo guys living in a self policed megastructure

Definitely did not

Still not going to

Podcasts take too long and aren't interesting as background noise

So much of a beth freak I didn't like their latest title

Uh, not really?

It lived up to my expectations

I never had any hopes they could produce a good story

[novel umbra]

he should be glad it is a new port

and not the original pc release

[hardy merlin]

[feral ferry]

First statement I still stand by

Second one was before I did the main quest

I actually had a lot of fun initially, cause I explored most of the side content

But then I kinda wanted to see what the main quest is about and, well

It's fuckin ass

[novel umbra]

apparently there is a change

they removed kojima from the credits

[hardy merlin]

they removed 1/3 of the game?

oof

Welp

[vapid lintel]

Train line too far away, refund

🙄

[orchid prism]

Can't even get 60FPS at medium settings (disabling the two worst offenders) with a blank map.

[vapid lintel]

Plop a few roads and buy it 😂

Pff who needs fps

[feral ferry]

Ngl

I thought you are playing Cities Skylines 1

Looks identical

[vapid lintel]

I'm getting a steady 50 with 3.5k pop at medium settings, good 'nuff

[orchid prism]

Let's see what Low, Low settings can do at native.

Motherfuckers disabled ALT+TAB.

[feral ferry]

HUH?

Why.. how

Gotta be honest though, these sort of games I think are tailor made for tech like DLSS3 and Fluid Motion Frames

A lot of static elements, no quick camera movement

[orchid prism]

I genuinely don't know. Winkey works.

So it's just pissing me off 😄

[feral ferry]

Are you in fullscreen or borderless?

[orchid prism]

Borderless.

[feral ferry]

What happens if you ALT + ENTER?

[orchid prism]

Still blocked.

[vapid lintel]

I bumped up the texture quality a bit, I think it looks quite nice

[feral ferry]

Ew

Weird decisions

[vapid lintel]

Shame it's raining, gives it a bit more blur of sorts in a still

[orchid prism]

Hah... even with lowest settings, I get ~80fps on the same, blank map. Unless I enabled dynamic scaling.

Which uhh... yeah there's not much TO scale at this graphics level 😄

[feral ferry]

What hardware do you even have, Andy

[orchid prism]

5600x and a 3080

[feral ferry]

3080 is pretty good

[vapid lintel]

You have worse performance than me with a better rig?

[orchid prism]

I run the game at 1440P Ultrawide.

[young crow]

and it doesn't even sell in russia

[vapid lintel]

Well there's your problem

Run at 1080p

Aight false alarm on the alt tab. Something else was causing it. Rebooted and now it works.

[vapid lintel]

Deal with it, call it nostalgia if it helps you sleep at night

In a month or two you can go back to 1440p, once they optimize it a bit more 😂

Paradox should be happy that I didn't push for a review code for the game. Genuinely would be the first time I had to give one of their games below an 8 😄

And I reviewed Imperator.

[feral ferry]

Oh damn that journo energy

Mansen is leveling up

[fading spade]

IDK The first thing about golf
Proceeds to use a putter to take his driver shot

yep...that checks out

I thought you didnt wanna have spoilers? xd

[feral ferry]

That was V'

[fading spade]

also, I found the best settings for Mariokart 8 on Yuzu, runs at a silky constant 60FPS now <3

lock the GPU to 1000mHz, dont lock the TDP, turn FXAA on in Yuzu
