128 tick isn’t some magic sauce that fixes all of GOs problems though.

On paper sub tick is great but obviously problems

[feral ferry]

It mostly did, though

CS2 literally disabled tickrate lol

64tick only

Want to disable subtick? Fuck off

[ebon osprey]

well yes thats the point

[feral ferry]

No 128tick and no disabled subtick for you

Absolute shithousery

[ebon raft]

I think we just have to give it time and let it improve. GO on launch was a trash game

[feral ferry]

Eh it will be good eventually, probably

[ebon raft]

So to expect CS2 to live up to that on the first go around?

[unique bane]

why would they need 128 tickrate lol

[feral ferry]

Cause 128 tick is industry standard at this point

[ebon osprey]

i suspect as soon as they subtick mouse movement itll be pretty much all fixed

[unique bane]

subtick is 1000000000x better

[feral ferry]

Pros play 128, Valorant I think is 128

[unique bane]

lol

[feral ferry]

No, it's not

Not right now lol

[ebon osprey]

its already subticked to your fps, but they need to subtick it all the way to the mouse report rate itself

like overwatch and valorant

[rancid hearth]

I'd hope so
even though I quit competitive games because of the latent toxicity
it still is nice to have something that everyone can play together when in vc

[feral ferry]

Competitive games are ass anyways

Singleplayer is life

[rancid hearth]

true

[ebon raft]

I get so bored in SP games

[ebon osprey]

play better sp games lel

[rancid hearth]

Rythm games aren't boring to me
that's why I play them

[ebon raft]

Maybe I play games to hang out with friends lol.

[rancid hearth]

story based games I can only play once until it gets boring since I already know the story

[ebon osprey]

play witcher 2 /s

what was it 700 possible storylines?

[ebon raft]

I have all the Witcher games never tried em. Curse of humble bundle bundles lol

[feral ferry]

Stop wasting your life then and play Witcher 3

[rancid hearth]

single player games I have to get into the right mood for
same thing with reading books

If I don't get into the right mood I will be checking discord often and other things making me distracted

[ebon raft]

I mean I like reading too much

Something about a good ole book

[feral ferry]

Ew, paper

[ebon osprey]

same yea
and games with too much downtime between story and challenging stuff make it quicker for me

[unique bane]

Would always be in the mood if not for fucking having to work

[rancid hearth]

I have been sitting on shadow of the tomb raider in my library ever since it was free on epic games lol

[ebon osprey]

tomb raider 16 and rise were great, shadow i got insanely busy so i had to put down

but i forgot to go back to it now so im not sure it was all thaaaat great

[rancid hearth]

Rise I completed
the remastered tomb raider I still have to complete

[ebon osprey]

i dont think its a remaster, they just decided to fkn not give it a name grr

😠

i also really enjoyed just cause 2 and 3

shame they never continued the series :/

[rancid hearth]

interesting

What a shitshow

Fired with no warning

Just fuck off type of manner

Bungie, I am glad I don't play or will ever play your games, greedy bastards

[severe compass]

Fookin hell, why did the firing even need to happen?

Don't think I am convinced with that argument to be honest. I mean it's what the big companies say, but they'll go with the most "PR positive" message they can

Very sad

Rogue and Unity were fine

Syndicate was alright

[severe compass]

The frustrating part of "Bad studios" closing down is 999.9/1000 times the people getting let go weren't the people who made the bad decisions. The real people responsible for the mismanagement, trend chasing, and battlepasses will usually build a new studio under the parent company

[willow quiver]

I love when studios makes bad games.

[feral ferry]

Funnily enough plenty peeples liked AC Odyssey and Origins

Only with Valhalla they really fucked up

Was the weakest game in the series though

I don't like AC past Syndicate, so Origins and beyond

Unity and Syndicate were very visually impressive games

[barren pewter]

I still play AC Unity

I think people underestimate Rogue a bit

Kind of a forgotten AC game

[proper basin]

Just finished playing through Laika aged through blood and its very much going in my list of favorite games this year

[severe compass]

"Today we get further details about Bungie’s layoffs! An article from Bloomberg states that Destiny’s target revenue was down 45%, thus Bungie had to cut around 8% of their Sony game unit (around 100 employees). Among the firings are Bungie veteran Mike Salvatori, who has been with the company for over 20 years and produced many of your favorite Halo and Destiny soundtracks."
I know projected revenue can be unrealistic at times, but wouldn't a 45% shortfall from the projection simply be utterly bonkers?

[cinder chasm]

Odd choice of firings vs. layoff.

[young crow]

is this loss

[severe compass]

The 45% drop isn't simply from Covid numbers, Lightfall was poorly reviewed due to a number of reasons, and the seasonal model is really starting to wear on people's nerves. Then add on that Bungie increased the prices of both those items, and people aren't buying new seasons, aren't puting money into the cash shop, and most importantly of all are not preordering Final Shape. Opting to wait for reviews instead. All of these problems are down to the management of the game, who of course almost never get fired, plus it really does feel like Sony were the ones to enforce these layoffs as Bungie has gone through hard times before and avoided them.
Something critical to note here: It seems that firings at Bungie were not made by team leads who would've been able to pick out the poor performers, but by accountants. This is why the layoffs were so sudden, and right before Nov paychecks were due. To add Bungie awards team member shares once they've worked at Bungie long enough, but if they are laid off those shares are sent back to Bungie. No doubt firing the composer was also Sony's idea because that man would've cost a big chunk of change, and at this point he's probably already made the soundtrack for The Final Shape. Sony is likely going to strongarm Bungie into either relying on some composer inside Sony, or contractors

Man I wish Microsoft bought Bungie

[fringe salmon]

What

So far the vast majority of Sony first parties are great and studios said they liked working under Sony where a Microsoft had shit like redfall

Where does these random thoughts come from that Sony is worse and MS should consolidate even more

[severe compass]

Redfall is the worst example to use because the vast majority of that game was completed as a live service (which was abandoned before release) under Zenimax long before Microsoft bough it. Microsoft's crime in this case was trusting Arkane studios who'd developed many absolutely fantastic games before pooping out Redfall

However you are right, Microsoft and Sony shouldn't be allowed to consolidate all the studios they've grabbed. Ideally Bungie would've continued operating independently without Sony, Activision or MS
It's just Bungie was able to do such good work under MS, who for the most part let them work on Halo as they saw fit. Microsoft's super hands off approach is actually why Rare collapsed underneath them.

I might be wrong though, it could really entirely be Bungie's own executive team making these decisions without Sony's input, but it still seems utterly bonkers that they would chose to fire some of their best men at a time they need them the most.
Like what if DOOM got rid of its compos... Oh wait they did

[fringe salmon]

Ok so about the halo issues if redfall isn’t an option to choose

Idk seems like there is not real indication to me MS would make them flourish if you say MS are hands off and lot of the issues are from bungies decisions too

[severe compass]

Halo 4-infinite have sort of been 343 missing its shots more then anything.

Although Bungie's decisions have lead to some hard times, as I mentioned before they havn't conducted layoffs in this fashion ever before Sony. They especially would know it's critical to keep the veteran staff on

Halo 2 got rushed because MS wanted them working on a x360 launch title, which is a pain I understand but they were given roon otherwise to make H2 and H3 how they wanted.

MS allowed 343 something approaching 10 years to make Infinite and they still failed at many of the basics

Hell even under Activision when Destiny 2 vanilla spun out (after Activision forced them to rush it), and Forsaken didn't perform as well as Activision wanted Bungie planted its feet and stood firm. They even divorced from Activision to give themselves the freedom they needed to make the game their way

This is all to say that every prior time Bungie had trouble it planted its feet and pushed further in making sure future projects excelled, but suddenly under Sony they are firing veteran developers, not the management team that made the bad decisions that lead them there, but guys like Michael who made banger work

[fringe salmon]

And also basically every game sony has done was received well so they certainly know what to do so I can’t see where the guess comes from they only care about accounting numbers

[severe compass]

Just because developers under Sony have done good work doesn't mean Sony didn't pick up the sheers to prune off what their executive team saw as "fat". Activision-Blizzard, and EA are/were known as terrible to work under, but even during their worst years they produced good games

Once again, Bungie has been in this position before and did not fire veterans, it's only after Sony did they pull a move like this

Hopefully!

I havn't managed to get too into it, but it really did seem to be a game ahead of its time. I was watching a video on it, and one thing it pointed out was that Marathon was one of the first games of its age to try and tie its level design into actual objectives, like lowering the bridge for friendly soldiers

Is Bungie part of Sony?

Wasn't there a whole saga of how bungie went on an investor search to get cash to go free

[small comet]

bungie is indeed owned by sony

[feral ferry]

Then which company was owned by someone, went on an investor search to get cash to pay off their parent to go free

And I think the succeeded

[small comet]

uh idk

[feral ferry]

I think it was Bungie?

[small comet]

i only know sony bought em sometime last year

i think before that bungie was independent since 2010 or so

as far as i recall it was a sort of deal where they are their own private company but M$ holds a minor stake in bungie

was basically right before entering a long term deal with actiblizz

[novel umbra]

yea

they bought free from activision

to then get bought by sony

[small comet]

so they bought themselves out of a publishing deal?

[feral ferry]

Wasn't Activision not even their parent, just a publisher?

[small comet]

ye was just a long term publishing deal of 10 or so years

or 12

not sure

[feral ferry]

They prolly signed some unfavourable deal and wanted out lol

[novel umbra]

ah

yea

was a deal with activision

[feral ferry]

I recall that they had to pay something like 700 million or whatever

Was a pretty damn big deal

[novel umbra]

I still remember people saying that d2 would be good once they gain freedom from activision

and then nothing changed

[small comet]

lol

yeah well that was predictable wasnt it

[feral ferry]

Bungie lost its talent long time ago

[novel umbra]

big devs be like

AAA really killed itself

[feral ferry]

I do remember the big fuss about Bungie and how "Activision was evil and restricting Bungie's talents"

[small comet]

bungie was restricting bungies talent

[feral ferry]

And everyone was cheering them on to go free and make great games

That never happened lol, Bungie's ass

Last good bungie game was Halo 3

[bleak pike]

Tbh it improved a lot

But it also got worse in some areas

It's a strange one tbh

But ye generally speaking, we were all on copium.

You could really feel the loss of Vicarious Visions when they split..... Quality went down significantly but also up? The first independent expansion was absolute garbage but the community kind of let it slide due to the slip.... The new seasons throughout were a game changer despite some being iffy as content was being delivered throughout the year.

But they were significantly less quality than when Vicarious Visions were involved.

However one of the biggest pros was the story telling, that changed significantly and got better.

[still spire]

Bungie was the worst thing about Destiny, not Activision amazingly

Activision counciled Bungie to do traditional expansion packs, not go all in on the cash shop and BP, and just focus on making a fun game

Bungie literally said fuck you and left

[bleak pike]

$164 million is hardly a fuck you

[young hill]

Bungie also asked if they can release shitty expansions when under Activision

[still spire]

yeah the weirdest part about the whole BUngie / Activision situation is it was Activision trying to make Destiny 2 a better game and Bungie not

[tough jay]

In other interesting news: https://gamefromscratch.com/warthunder-game-engine-dagor-engine-open-sourced/

[tough jay]

In other words the EA launcher will update electron to a version that no longer supports older operating systems.

[feral ferry]

Virtually every older version is unsupported by Microsoft anymore

So, not really upgrade, sadly

If EA wants to make games with DX12 exclusively, Windows 10 is basically mandatory at that point

[tough jay]

I am telling you it's the launcher, chromium and with extension electron dropped support for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 with version 110.

there was a softlock in one of the final missions?

[feral ferry]

Insomniac is supposedly having layoffs right now

Sony trimming the fat of one of their most successful studios?

[orchid prism]

There's a mission where you have to scrap cars to be allowed into a house.

By design you just need a certain amount of money, but if you rob stores and such the game would just softlock at the cutscene after entering the house.

So you had to painstakingly steal cars and have them scrapped to get to the required amount to progress.

[barren pewter]

it wasn't even painstaking

you needed to take like...3 or 4

and that was very early in the game

It was hours into the game.

And it took forever.

Havn't had too many good AAA releases this year

Have you tried Ultrakill?

[feral ferry]

If I don't care for it, I won't be playing it

And that looks like something I don't care about

Ah it's a Doom/Quake-like

Never really played Doom or Quake, those were far earlier than me, so not my thing

I grew up with RTS games, which is a very dead medium nowadays

CoH3 is shite

I heavily dislike CoH cause there is literally a better game in that genre that doesn't get as much attention

And that makes me sad

Men of War is a far better franchise than CoH

CoH is some esports shite, MoW is the real war simulation

[severe compass]

Never had much fun with shooters? Yeah I don't think a a single rts game came out this year worth its salt.

Maybe an old one like Sid Miers Alpha Centauri? My friend is obsessed with that one

[feral ferry]

I play 4X from time to time, Sid Meier's stuff is great

Anno 1800 might be needing a replay

[feral ferry]

I don't really mind shooters? But I just like singleplayer stuff more, I love sandboxes

Like Arma 3 is such a perfect game

It's a sandbox where I can do whatever I want

Can't wait for 4 to come

[severe compass]

Ah, Ultrakill is a sort of combination of Devil May Cry with quake. Making it sort of the pollar opposite of Arma

[feral ferry]

I remember as a child getting DMC3 for PS2

I found that game really difficult, I remember

The OG Dark Souls

[severe compass]

These games tend to be easier when your older as you're better able to experiment and memorise combos.
Ultrakill doesn't have melee combos, but one of the guns allows you to flip shootable coins that deal bonus damage, then you can use the rail gun to go crazy with it

[still spire]

It was made harder for the Western market

[severe compass]

Steam allows you to get a refund within 2 hours so I would say give Ultrakill a chance.
But if you prefer a game like a platformer maybe Pseudoregalia?

Dang usually they make it easier, why harder?

[still spire]

Devil May cry 3 special edition later fix the difficulty

[feral ferry]

It said so on the wikipedia page, not sure why they had done so

I did have special edition

[still spire]

Actually typically when games come over from Japan they're made harder in the West

Ah well dmc3 is hard in general

[feral ferry]

I'm pretty sure this is what I had

Was a really cool game at the time

[still spire]

The rental market was bigger here, one of the reasons they made games more difficult, the other reason was Western gamers usually complain games were too easy, well in Japan they never really did

At the time? Still is

Dmc3 is an all time great

[feral ferry]

Never replayed it since 2000s

[severe compass]

Weird, I had heard Mario Bros 2 was held back from the west and replaced with a different game because they though the original version was too hard. That Fromsoft thought Demon Souls would be too hard for the west

There are no D2 PvP players left

Bungie refused to exist PvP even existed until they got major bad PR last month.... They formed a "PvP strike team" to address the dire state of it

2 maps in three years and removed loads when they removed content.

Bungie have no right in making a PvP game when it abandoned it's only PvP game years ago.

And well the recent news makes everything they said last month pointless when the game direction addressed us directly (they've never done that before).

In general I feel that consumers are finally fed up which is why we are reluctant to let companies off so easily this year.

It makes me sad because regardless of what people like cough tony say, destiny at its core is an extremely good game and when its good it's fucking good.

Ups and downs but more down than ups the last 8 months or so 😦

The most recent expansion was horrendous and seasons have been pretty shit, although for some reason people like the current one even if it's a needle in a big pile of turd.

The Witch Queen was genuinely outstanding, it gave so many of us hope, it set a new bar in general but it went down from there.

Although storytelling has become significantly better over the years, like genuinely fantastic, minus this season and the odd others

[severe compass]

They used the pvp team that would've bene making new crucible maps to make Marathon

Which is a big reason Destiny fans absolutely abhor its existence since it bagan eating into resources Destiny still needs.

In theory Bungie could've hired a new team to help make it, but the truth is its ideal for the executive team to underfund Destiny and ride on the goodwill until Marathon replaces it

[barren pewter]

they're weekend at burnie's-ing the game at this point

[severe compass]

Witch Queen was a fantastic expansion, which is why everyone got mad at the less then mediocre Lightfall, but even if it wasnt the engine has become a spaghettified mess. Final Shape the upcoming expansion will be ending a story that started nearly 10 years ago

We really need a Destiny 3 for a number of reasons. And one of them is that they can start a new fresh adventure where newbies won't need to listen to an hour long video explaining the background of D1 and removed D2 content to understand what's going on

Final Shape, really is the Final Straw. It will make or break the game, with a lot of goodwill from Lightfall lost even executives at Bungo realise they absolutely need to hit it out of the park or go home.
They have apparently delayed the release of Final Shape because inside testing said it was "good not great".

Oddly though Deatiny 2 is meant to have 1 more expansion after Final Shape which is probably a side story thing, but I feel like at that point you have really overdosed Destiny 2 and really should've been working on a new entry

(was actually read the full book as a bedtime story as a kiddo, fuckin WILD NIGHTMARE)

[orchid prism]

who?

[quiet vault]

the group?

[orchid prism]

Oh now I know. They must be related to that streamer, SSniperwolf. It all makes sense now.

goes on a wild rant about what the SS part could possibly mean

[quiet vault]

haha

[orchid prism]

But on a serious note what a terrible event. Only skins for the young, attractive agents (and Junkrat)

[quiet vault]

I mean makes sense

Its surprisingly the cheapest per skin price ever xD

Am also excited for that

bro hated overwatch

so let's see what they can do without that

[orchid prism]

What's worse is... the skins aren't even good.

They're just plain, dull merch gear.

[quiet vault]

Uh the overwatch community seems to be big fans of them

maybe not for you tho

[orchid prism]

At least put some effort into the designs and do something that fits the game. Like what KDA did with LOL back in the day.

[quiet vault]

but I've never seen so much simping around skins xD

[still spire]

Eh

They look alright

[quiet vault]

that doesn't look that much effort lol

[still spire]

I mean they're no KDA level

But Sombras is pretty good

[orchid prism]

It beats "streetwear from Korea"

[quiet vault]

thats the lore of the collab tho

[orchid prism]

the lore of the collab

[quiet vault]

have u seen the video

[orchid prism]

cough sellout cough

[quiet vault]

they need to get back marketshare in Korea

and kpop collabs seem to be a very popular way to do so

[orchid prism]

Then do a Starcraft themed crossover with some fantastical skins. 😛

Hamster in a Dragoon, go go

[quiet vault]

people still playing StarCraft?

team korea played this in worldcup

actually not a trash comp xD

213??

they should just send you a ssd with the game on

not gonna wait a whole day to download a game

only on cloud

ye they even got clouds in da game

😄

smart

when does Microsoft make a real Minecraft update

i mean like engine upgrade

not having small render distance

weird performance and all

normal java one

no one plays bedrock

and its buggy af

[fallow bronze]

bedrock with far render distance is quite a lot more immersive i find

just to bad the underlying engine is less good

[small comet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Xx0EJCOUyQ @orchid prism cs2 is over lol

[orchid prism]

Delightful.

[deft bloom]

ahh finished wake

liked it a lot more than control, really good shit

[small comet]

good? bad? i heard from fans its a let down

[deft bloom]

huh wut

weird fans there

it's excellent, way better than the first one

[small comet]

havent played it but i remember some twist at the end wasnt to their liking

[deft bloom]

wonder if they were talking about the ending-ending there

[orchid prism]

I had the opposite experience*. No likey da spooky spook.

[small comet]

i mean yeah i never personally played any alan wake due too spooky

but i liked the story of the first one

[deft bloom]

I didn't find it scary at all, though nothing phases me anymore honestly

[fallow bronze]

tense

jump scares are not scary, they are annoying and lazy

[deft bloom]

I understand why it might be disturbing to some

[small comet]

oh and people said its a walking sim more than an alan wake

[orchid prism]

I have a -very- low tolerance for spook.

Never played RE or anything similar because of it. Not my jam.

[small comet]

same i sharded my chair when playing phasmo

[deft bloom]

le mao

[small comet]

so much so i removed the game from my lib without refund

[fallow bronze]

wasnt alan wake already sort of a walking sim?

[deft bloom]

that'll get them

[small comet]

yesnt

[deft bloom]

on some parts maybe, but it had a lot more action as well

[fallow bronze]

im looking forward to playing it

[deft bloom]

here less action works in its favor in my opinion, it's more about the story and atmosphere

[fallow bronze]

more action? play american wasteland :p

[deft bloom]

tony hawk's american wasteland?

[small comet]

tony hawks wasteland skater

[deft bloom]

I meant aw1 was a lot more actioney than 2

[small comet]

isnt control already an alan wake sequel anyway

[deft bloom]

I found all the collectibles I think, and some of the puzzles made me stop and wander around for a while, so maybe that can make you walk around a bit more, but if you don't do all those I don't think it's a walking sim at all lul

well they do tie-in now, but it's completely different anyway

[feral drum]

well, yep, according to the lore it's right after Alan Wake 1

and Alan was the first director

[deft bloom]

I was sure Mansen would love this one since he's a control fan, guess not then

[deft bloom]

huh how does that even make any sense

[fallow bronze]

is there a relevant timestamp available, I'm not gonna watch 1,5 hours of that XD

anyway I didn't find anything that would in any way hint at aw being the original director anywhere

no, director of fbc

that wouldn't make any sense lol

[orchid prism]

That's nothing.

[feral drum]

[orchid prism]

[feral drum]

that's insanity...

i'd not want to edit a 6+h video

[deft bloom]

pro tip: upload raw ramblings with no edits

[feral drum]

and uploading it on YT would at LEAST take a week

imagine the writing of the script alone

[fringe salmon]

It’s more insane that you can put most of drakenier in only 6 hours

[feral drum]

well, true...

[deft bloom]

hmm that reminds me that I didn't bother to finish ver.1.22474487139...

[feral drum]

[fringe salmon]

Is that the original or the remake

[deft bloom]

remake

[fringe salmon]

Ah yeah has a nice extra bit they added at the end to tie it to automata more

[feral drum]

tbf, the remake plays by faaaaar better than the Original

[deft bloom]

kind of a similar thing happened with automata too, I played for a few hours, then put it off for months and started again, got all the endings, and it turned out to be one of my favorite games ever, well at least story-wise

[feral drum]

i liked the fighting mixes ^^

long sword + emil fists was an op mix

Fun's over

[raw wren]

https://youtu.be/te8keFz5ZdI

(Conflicting information about if a remake is coming, but it's a nice video still)

[feral ferry]

Aw, just a fan video

I hadn't heard anything about a MW remake

But MW was the only NFS I enjoyed and it was a great game

[raw wren]

Apparently a voice actor spoke out about it earlier that it was coming, but quickly deleted the tweet. So I'm not sure what to think about it, don't wanna take the video for it as I haven't heard of studio before

[feral ferry]

This isn't a studio

It's a youtuber

[raw wren]

Oh yeah his entire channel is that

[novel umbra]

Should be critereon again?

[small comet]

underground 2 remake when

way more important

[novel umbra]

Prob never

Game aged even worse

[small comet]

well besides the fan remake in the works i mean btw

[feral drum]

U2 + MW mixed together would be awesome

[feral ferry]

So this is as much as we have, original VA saying too much and then deleting after

Tbf usually if VA's speak too early, it's as good as confirmed

[feral drum]

still, i have a bitter taste about a remake... It feels like EA is going to fuck it up anyways

[feral ferry]

They fucked up the remakes in general

[novel umbra]

Yea the va of cross also had a video tweet

Where he teased it

At the same time

[feral ferry]

Lol so someone at EA gave them bad timelines

[small comet]

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

i dream of the day its available

[raw wren]

I mean they totally discarded the original NFS studio, so they don't have any choice but to give it to criterion

[feral drum]

and i dream of a website that works:

https://help.wooting.io/en/article/how-accurate-is-my-estimated-delivery-date-1hzhxqp?bust=1686234157532

[novel umbra]

"the original" nfs studio

That being?

Blackbox?

Ghost?

[raw wren]

Black Box

[novel umbra]

The ones that did it before

[feral ferry]

What

[feral drum]

uh... blackbox doesn't exist as it was

60% of its former members work at Ivory Tower rn

and that studio belongs to Ubi

[feral ferry]

Why do you need black box when we have blue box

Which is just a black box, so they are lying

[feral drum]

highly doubt Ubi and EA made a cooperation

[raw wren]

Ghost could be an option rather than to give it Criterion, considering they blew it back in 2012 with the first "remake" if you can call it that.

[feral drum]

"remake" my ass

[deft bloom]

blue balls game studios

[feral drum]

MW'12 was an utter bullshit and should've never been made in the first place

[raw wren]

Yeah, it was a completely different game just riding on the good reputation the previous game had

[small comet]

works on my machine

clear cache maybe

[feral drum]

did

nothing

[small comet]

i tried on phone as well seems to be fine

so /shrug

[feral drum]

same thing on phone for me

don't fucking tell me my ISP is fucking with me again...

[small comet]

idk try clearing windows dns cache as last resort

we switched the actual docs provider 2days ago

[raw wren]

Nah, I also get page not found on that.

[small comet]

hmm

[feral drum]

Vodafone?

[lucid brook]

https://help.wooting.io/article/82-how-accurate-is-my-estimated-delivery-date

[raw wren]

Telia I think

[feral ferry]

It doesn't work for me either

[feral drum]

well, that one works

[feral ferry]

That one works too

[small comet]

so it redirects fine for you

[feral ferry]

What kind of shite urls are you linking nyumi

[small comet]

the originals from crisp

[lucid brook]

doesn't redirect, i just searched for it in the KB

[small comet]

oh

well it should redirect all crisp urls to the actual helpscout docs urls

wonder why it works for some but not for others then

[feral drum]

but it doesn't, so get to work

[small comet]

well it does

for me

[feral drum]

https://tenor.com/view/get-back-to-work-gif-1126008344771276194

[novel umbra]

I mean from what was leaked that was more eas fault

Also the ghost games were even worse

[small comet]

so unless i get har files in DMs captured in an incognito window i cant do anything

[feral drum]

kk, gimme a few minutes

[small comet]

please make sure its incognito so it doesnt include any session cookies or such

[feral drum]

gotcha

[fallow bronze]

I don't remember that game at all

[orchid prism]

Remove teh /en

[small comet]

no the en is part of the old url

[orchid prism]

Yes?

And those don't work.

[small comet]

they should

jeroen and i tested em quite long

[orchid prism]

Well they didn't work yesterday at least. 😄

Very interesting

So they are focusing on long term value of Elden Ring

For Dark Souls 3 which is still popular today, they released what, 2 major DLC packs?

That didn't take them as long as it's taking to release this first (and maybe last) one for Elden Ring

Sekiro didn't get a single DLC

I wonder what their long term plans are

Bi-yearly expansions for elden ring?

One massive ass pack like Cyberpunko?

Dunno if there's any modding for Elden Ring, Dark Souls 3 has major community made expansions released, that should be done for Elden ring too

I played AC and it was very generic shooter

Not much difficulty, story was at best mediocre

Just... Mecha

Typical mecha

Third rate franchise

Sekiro 2 would be a better thing to work on than Armored Core

[pure bear]

yes please

[feral ferry]

[calm wyvern]

Touche

[barren pewter]

Rage 2 did ok with that iirc

granted, wasn't much to build on there
it was a game that in no way needed a sequel
but...turns out that Doom combat and a pretty interesting world to explore with that made it work

[nimble current]

usually doesn't stop an already popular IP from maintaining success

look at bethesda fallout games

[barren pewter]

:|

peak fallout was 2

fallout 3 and NV were just much more...approachable to a modern audience

fallout 4 was even more so

The Outer Worlds was alright too, I guess

[nimble current]

yep

I've played the original through about a hundred times since it released, only bethesda one I've played through was FO3

[barren pewter]

not even a hot take

if you grew up playing the isometric fallouts, yeah
you really wouldn't enjoy it

[nimble current]

it was a decent game, if you played it like it wasn't a fallout game

[barren pewter]

the lore breaks were the only way bethsoft could make a game without...shitloads of lore breaks

and even then, they still continue to

[nimble current]

you mean if you didn't grow up playing them?

though tbh even for the time OG fallout games were kinda clunky

[barren pewter]

I ended up playing fallout 1 and 2 after playing 3 and NV

I love em to bits

[nimble current]

yeah, I first played fallout when it launched

[deft bloom]

wernher von braun?

[barren pewter]

fallout...um

[nimble current]

was 11 at the time

[barren pewter]

slowly been losing itself since 98

tactics was a really fun spinoff
nothing making it a fallout game

brotherhood of steel...I'm glad we all forgot existed

bethsoft games have really felt more like FPS games with extremely light RPG elements

[nimble current]

none of the sequels can really touch the atmosphere in the first game imo

[barren pewter]

and not being good FPS games

[barren pewter]

that, we can agree on

[nimble current]

I just love how pitch black hopeless it feels

[barren pewter]

daily life in a nutshell lmfao

[deft bloom]

the gunplay is downright horrible on fo3, nv and fo4

only used vats, somehow it didn't get old in fo3, but after that meh

[barren pewter]

76 is...everything that 4 was
but worse
and introduce a shitload of latency

[deft bloom]

yeah skipped that

[nimble current]

was passable imo, but not exactly up there with a studio that actually knows what makes a good shooter

[deft bloom]

after the disappointment what was fo4 I haven't played any bethesda games

[barren pewter]

I found the only weapon I bothered not using VATS with in fallout 3 was...
the Perforator

a unique version
of the Infiltrator
from The Pitt

why?
integrated scope

that with tons of alien epoxy, kept that thing through most of mid to late game

used common ammo, packed quite the punch too

[nimble current]

I've heard good things about NV but I don't really want to play it without mods

and I can't get the mods I want installed properly so

[feral ferry]

NV is a bit overrated

[nimble current]

I got SWAT3 for bday in like 1998 I think and it was really cool

[barren pewter]

NV...yeah
it is the best 3D fallout to date

[deft bloom]

this was awesome yeah

[barren pewter]

but that doesn't mean much

[feral ferry]

Fallout 3 is better than NV so keep coping

[deft bloom]

I grew up playing the original PQ games and learning english

[barren pewter]

it has problems with "WAY TOO MUCH SIDE CONTENT"
shockingly

too much can be a bad thing

[deft bloom]

swat was something else entirely, it was really cool to see what they did with the series

[barren pewter]

3...

oh god that had so many problems

[feral ferry]

It's a better game than Vegas

[barren pewter]

campaign was forgettable
there was little reason to bother exploring

[nimble current]

I mean, that was every game in english for me in the 90s

I credit like 90% of my english skills to our home computer and watching movies with subtitles on TV and 10% of it to school

[deft bloom]

yeah but in PQ you had to type "open door" to actually get a door open and so on

learned so much

and the original leisure suit larry games too, sierra was really cool back then

[feral ferry]

Standard 60$ pricing

[deft bloom]

I'm betting $60 that it's going to be a huge letdown

[feral ferry]

I.. honestly don't know

I don't think it will be bad

But I doubt it will live up to the original

OST will be amazing lol, it's by Akira, ofc it will slap

[deft bloom]

well that's a given I guess

huh

we usually pay 70€ here

for alan wake 2 it was 60€ for some reason

[barren pewter]

that's...sadly the new standard

currency weakening and all that

yuck

[feral ferry]

Unless conversion rates are fucked, 90 CAD = 60 USD which is normal pricing?

[barren pewter]

I hate it here

[deft bloom]

yeah I mean physical copies can be cheaper than ps store, but in general they're all 70€ for ps5

like all new games I've ever seen on the store

anyway that took me by surprise, which was cool, got it on pc in the end which was the right choice tho

[feral ferry]

Well.. yes

[deft bloom]

just go to tallinn and buy shit from sadamarket

Bungee and trying to compete with CA to see who implodes first.
My money is still on CA.

Watched the video, better than I expected for 2023 Konami

Doesn't mean it's a good release though.

You'd think that the switch could at least match xbox360 performance, or at the very least half xbox 360 performance

[deft bloom]

yeah it's even worse than what I expected and I only expected bad things

[tough jay]

The fact that they included both pal and ntsc versions is a plus at least.
To be fair I did already watch gman lives's review

[bleak pike]

Ca?

[tough jay]

Creative Assembly

To be fair the Warhammer games were enjoyable enough to have a good enough time maksing the flaws quite well.

From what I hear it was mostly CA leadership being kind of bad and Sega being rather hand's off as long as they are turning a profit.

But hyenas and pharaoh really stirred things up

Also the banwaves on the steam forums and their dogshit communication.

Also there was a dmca takedown for a video going over an earlier mockup / design document for hyenas. Which even went as far as youtube reinstating the video as they believe it is fair use.
This is not something youtube seem to do commonly.
It really is one continuous shitshow.
Anyway time for bed.

[deft bloom]

have a nice bed

[orchid prism]

That bad? Do you no longer like men?

[deft bloom]

it's accurate in the sense that is literally an emulator running the game

I hated it besides the graphics

mgs2 gameplay systems didn't work out well in the identical mgs1 maps, the cutscenes were like uh yeah

exactly that

I was a hardcore kojima fanboy then and hated the changes, though later on I learned that he himself told the director to go bonkers

wait I'm still a hardcore kojima fanboy, I don't want anyone else touching mgs

yeah exactly, and everything else too

you could just see and shoot everyone from the entry point of a level

can't disagree with that

Because it isn’t boring

And it isn’t as linear as you might think

[barren pewter]

It’s good for you

[feral ferry]

I'd rather drink some pepsi

[barren pewter]

Not even kvas yuck

[feral ferry]

Kvas is full of sugars here, so I've been avoiding

Pepsi Max is godspeak

[trim rock]

They should make more co-op resi, like the outbreak games

[barren pewter]

Drinking a diet sodie to cancel out the sugars

[feral ferry]

They did and it wasn't good?

[feral ferry]

Nobody played those

[barren pewter]

Pretty sure they did for RE5

except RE5 and 6 were kinda ass

[feral ferry]

Lol no, much later

The latest COOP ones are just a few years old

And they as good as failed

[barren pewter]

Those were spinoffs

Resident Evil Re: Verse

Resident Evil: Resistance

[barren pewter]

I assume actual main games, not the arena shooters

[trim rock]

Yeah aren't those just deathmatch

[barren pewter]

they are

calling them RE games is pointless

[feral ferry]

But.. muh franchise

[barren pewter]

It’s RE characters in CoD

not an RE game

[feral ferry]

It's ok to be wrong and cope

[novel umbra]

you would want to play the other 3 (much better) ones before playing this one tho

[grizzled bramble]

For sure but those are also cheap now

[rigid ibex]

anyone know a site to find some switch nsp

[feral ferry]

https://www.ign.com/articles/the-talos-principle-2-review

[orchid prism]

I literally only know this game through the insane speedruns bypassing most of the game 😄

[feral ferry]

I tried playing it but I had major lag

[fading spade]

https://youtu.be/21Y3JZwdE9g

no VRR or Freesync

[fallow bronze]

neither does the steamdeck

but, quite needed on lower spec machines

[feral ferry]

Don't they have adaptive sync

[fading spade]

nnuuu

its either 60 or 144Hz

[feral ferry]

Which is perfectly fine tbf

[fallow bronze]

144hz is fine, very close to vrr :p

[fading spade]

I have 1.2GB free space on my Deck 😅

welp

Despite only having one game installed on the internal drive

well, that game being Apex, which is like 98GB

[feral ferry]

Yeah I don't see much of a loss with not including freesync or adaptive sync

Just Vsync

[fading spade]

ive been playing Street Fighter games for nearly 30 years at this point with various DPADs and this probably one of the worst ive played with these types of games
RetroGameCorps

[fringe salmon]

vsync adds input delay and isnt as smooth if you cant hit constant framerates

VRR is just superior is nearly every point

[feral ferry]

Indeed it is

But at 144Hz do you really need adaptive sync

[fringe salmon]

yes?

[hot spire]

Vrr is stupid good on weaker systems though

That's when it's best

Saves power and makes it look smoother

[fringe salmon]

you arent at a constant 144hz on mobile devices

so VRR is good there

if you use a 4090 and are at 2x your Hz VRR does nothing

[hot spire]

And even at 60, if it's dipping vrr is even better

As you either deal with tearing or skipping frames

cs2 map workshop is out woo

[fading spade]

its so easy to cause a hardlock in Mario Maker 2 LOL

just totally bricks the system until you reboot it

• Put falling water in your level
• Put a Wiggler in said water
• Wear a shell helmet

• Try to push the Wiggler out of the water

Game crashes
Switch freezes
Profit

[feral ferry]

XSEED releasing trash again

Of what?

Nobody apart from you heard of style savvy mate

I am not a 3DS fan in any capacity

[pine bone]

Anyone else play Return to Moria?

[feral ferry]

Good idea for a game, waiting for them to actually finish the game

They launched an early access product, they better finish it

[pine bone]

@feral ferry I already got it.

Couldn’t wait.

I also finished the story for it.

[quiet vault]

Maui Heavy? Sure.

Okay.

He uh... seems to be copying a lot of moves from other characters though.

[feral ferry]

Unanatomical anime characters? So fun

[orchid prism]

Winston's slam, and Rein's charge?

His uh... metal pecs make me uncomfortable.

IGN does not often give scores this low for major titles

[quiet vault]

i liked the last one :/

[feral ferry]

Yes, Microsoft is giving a forced ad for MW3 for all console users
