basically everything you sell in europe has 2 years legally

[maiden tulip]

ok it seems like if you live in the eu you get whatever goes with that region

[feral ferry]

Stop shouting, we can read your thoughts

[drifting rose]

you know it's a legal text when it screams at you in apocryphal language

[hardy merlin]

EU Supremacy gang 🇪🇺

[maiden tulip]

Here in quebec we have a resonable lifespan warranty

Basically you can get things out of warranty repaired if the product didn't last a reasonable lifespan

Which is dictated by the category of product and whatever

So yeah longer than 1 year here too

[feral ferry]

We supremacy but still shit

[maiden tulip]

But idk how long

[feral ferry]

[fading spade]

Ah fuck
I'd have to redo the screen protector ;_;

I get severe anxiety applying those

[maiden tulip]

That's like 5$

No big deal tbh

[fading spade]

If any air bubble or spec of dust get under it I remove it and never use it again

[maiden tulip]

You could also not put a screen protector on

[fading spade]

It's not the price
It's the process

[maiden tulip]

Be like me

[fading spade]

I want to
My LCD deck for scratched and idk how

I don't want my OLED to get scratched too

[bleak pike]

One does not redo

[hardy merlin]

Scratched? But how?
It's not a phone you keep in a pocket
And it's got a case

[bleak pike]

Also don't spend loads on a screen protector so you don't have to stress about it.

Tbh I haven't used one on my phone in months!

[maiden tulip]

Exactly

[bleak pike]

It's been great

[fading spade]

I have never used one on my phone either

[fading spade]

Idk how it scratched

[maiden tulip]

Most glass is fairly strong nowadays

[bleak pike]

I use one on my steam deck though

I paid like £3 for it and for 3

Don't spend too much on them....

[maiden tulip]

@fading spade i bet you cant even see your scratch unless its in direct sunlight

Which is a situation you'll never play in

[bleak pike]

My deck has a bunch of scratches on the back though

[drifting rose]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/JceP5iiTh50

[feral ferry]

Wrong but

Sure

Spacewar is also used by developers to test stuff

[small comet]

lol no

[feral ferry]

lol yes

[small comet]

there would be 0 reason for that given you get your own app id

[feral ferry]

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/304030/view/4212628592043163525

[small comet]

meanwhile literally all pirated games that use steam server browser or such just use the spacewars game id often so they can connect to an existing server browser

[feral ferry]

ArcheAge is dead

[small comet]

how was this not dead before... i could swear they were doing bad long time ago

unless im mistaking this for another game

[bleak pike]

Aren't they bringing a sequel out

[small comet]

iirc they sold the game or smth and then it turned sub based unless i misremember

[bleak pike]

Um didn't they re release it

Under the company and not a publisher

[fading spade]

I see it in any light level

[maiden tulip]

Damn

How even

[fading spade]

Idk how it happened
It's a teeny tiny one

Once I noticed it , I couldn't unsee it

[drifting rose]

one is worse than a bunch of them

[fading spade]

Yeh

[pure bear]

maybe a sandgrain or sth got on it

its weird

my phone protector recently had a fat dent for no reason i know of

I saw a vid this morning about Tarkov having yet another crisis

Thought it was something about the anticheat again lol

P2W eh?

I can't imagine buying a game like Tarkov and not running SPT-AKI

[orchid prism]

Oh ok.

They're giving it the Overwatch 2 treatment.

[feral ferry]

Imagine buying a feature you can get for free

Without cheaters too lol

[pure bear]

what

[ashen lark]

What’s even the point of writing it out like that, like it’s so clear PvE is not mutually exclusive with DLC

[cedar terrace]

<c @sharp pagoda

[sonic compass]

anyone think .1 actuatiuon is too sensitive for valorant or do i jus need to get used to it

[burnt spear]

There's no right answer.

[pulsar prism]

I use 0.4 personally and only on wasd

[burnt spear]

You could get used to it, and you could not, ultimately trial and error and find what works best for you .

[sonic compass]

i use .4 aswell i was just wondeiring if it was even possible to get used to it

thanks

[burnt spear]

It's posible, I use 0.1 on everything for my gaming profile.

I don't play Valorant though.

[torpid island]

same, use 0.1 and only use it on siege, val and cs2

[feral ferry]

*Multiplayer

[buoyant osprey]

https://www.reddit.com/r/fo4/comments/1ccuv1d/ultrawide_support_is_just_a_stretched_out_ui_and/

This company is so unbelievably trash.

[feral ferry]

Old news aside

The state Tarkov community is in right now is beyond funny

This meme was made by an official moderator lol

Even the company's own mods are making fun of them

And devs now insist the PvE gamemode is a "brand new game"

Looking into r/escapefromtarkov, peeps found that old promises were that 130$ Season Pass would include offline PvE (which is now monetized), so community is looking into a lawsuit

[nimble current]

you don't see this type of behaviour half as much with multiplayer pve

[feral ferry]

Also to add to Tarkov bullshit

https://www.rxddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/s/fS8gyEqiNO

Devs started editing the game edition descriptions to somehow pretend that "oh you were never supposed to get the PvE for free"

Literally braindead devs, don't sell a season pass if you don't plan to uphold your promises

[orchid prism]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-boy-gif-24157752

[feral ferry]

Maybe Tarkov players will now learn of SPTarkov and that you can get offline PvE, with mods and fixed gameplay mechanics that not even devs are fixing, for free

Instead of paying 250$ for it

[small comet]

devs like this is why people still pirate lol

smth smth piracy is almost always a service problem not a pricing problem smth smth

[hardy merlin]

Ah. nihil novi in Tarkov's subreddit
EFT could solve this problem very easily - just let people upgrade from EoD to Unheard for free
But BSG is best at creating shitstorms

[small comet]

steam even has systems to create editions including other editions

they dont need to offer any upgrades lol

[feral ferry]

We can only hope BSG fails

[feral ferry]

Afaik Tarkov isn't on Steam

It's on their own platform

[small comet]

i thought it was

well even greater shitstorm then

[hardy merlin]

Nah, only through their website and launcher
That way they can refuse refunds for their €250 without VAT game lol

[feral ferry]

Russian devs gonna russian dev

Scamming

[small comet]

wait but... software needs to also charge VAT

[feral ferry]

Not if you are BSG

Ah yeah they have the system where you "in good heart" can input the VAT of your country

So.. obviously you put in 0% and pay no VAT

[hardy merlin]

They're smart though
If you put some other VAT than EU's one, then you get ROW version of the game, not EU one, and you can't play on EU servers

[feral ferry]

And nothing of value was lost

Imagine playing on hacker infested servers lol

[small comet]

how the crap do they even file this with their tax office lol

[feral ferry]

They do?

[hardy merlin]

They are now UK-based, they have to report... uh... something

[orchid prism]

Oh boy. Embarking on a new Rimworld adventure into a hot magma cave that has an average temperature of +60c

oh....Oh!

[fringe salmon]

Is this the same guy self promoting his clip like last time?

[hardy merlin]

Yup

You already did that several times, next time you'll get a timeout

[silver brook]

Did what?

[fringe salmon]

Not reading the rules of no self promotion

[silver brook]

Oh ok

What if I incorporate it into talk about a game (valorant)

[fringe salmon]

And then try to be funny by posting your own clip asking if it’s a hacker when it’s just your footage

No

[silver brook]

Hey anyone play valorant?

[silver brook]

That's not being funny

It makes people more likely to click it

[fringe salmon]

If you just want dislikes on your videos just say that

And that behavior on unrelated servers usually gets you a ban not even a timeout so you should find better ways lol

[nimble current]

probably not the last

still its way better now than it was a few patches ago

[grizzled bramble]

Yeah got stuck in the Blue screen menu

[still spire]

Lol

Yeah it's crazy

Game stability still so bad

[nimble current]

its not too bad anymore imo, I get maybe one crash every 2-3 days

used to be several times a day

most often happens when I quit the game now

[grizzled bramble]

Seen the intro 2x and both times it blue screened lmao

The 2005 one

XD

Aka best racing game ever made

[burnt spear]

facts

[bleak pike]

Lmfao, bungie sunset all guns a few years ago and datto was pushing everyone to clean their vault which eventually lead to the popular "Datto vault cleaning" collabs

[grizzled quarry]

Best nfs game ever

[bleak pike]

After years bungie decided to undo that and everyone deleted their gear and now the community is joking about his datto is the most wanted man rn and he's really leaning into it

https://youtu.be/TJDia35437k

[grizzled quarry]

I loved underground 1/2 but most wanted is the best

[burnt spear]

This is so meta.

Unlike all the shit guns people think are sunset god rolls.

[bleak pike]

It's so perfect

[burnt spear]

I keep seeing hype about it, but I just know for a fact no one is gonna bring their rampage kill clip kindled orchid into a GM lmao

[bleak pike]

Well, pretty much everything was nerfed or outclassed really.

It's purely nostalgia bait.

[burnt spear]

Yeah it all got powercrept to hell.

[bleak pike]

It's kinda sad

I love into the light but I feel dirty about it

Because I'm falling for the bait

[burnt spear]

I'm tired of the same song and dance with Bungie. Unless Sony kicks managements and takes over, am peacing out once I get my day 1 raid clear from TFS.

Which is a shame because I really love the gameplay and all my destiny friends but am just tired of them making boneheaded decisions and then having to fix them. It feels like an abusive relationship and they just keep promising to change and eventually you gotta let go of the potential and see it for what it is.

[bleak pike]

I feel ya

Can't say I'll peach out after the raid but i didn't plan to carry on after tfs

[burnt spear]

I'll have to get really wowed by TFS AND whatever episodes turn out to be to change that.

But I am really tired of bungie just adding content that gets removed or abandoned. Onslaught should become a new core playlist and we should get more loot, maps, factions, bonus rounds, modifiers etc

[bleak pike]

It's being added to the vanguard tab

Not ops

[burnt spear]

So I've read, but it won't mean much if they treat it like dares and just leave it as is.

So I really hope they keep updating it.

[bleak pike]

But dares keeps getting new gear

I just think people don't know haha

[burnt spear]

There isn't any real new loot though, it's just a way to get gear you can't get anymore. But it's pretty miserable to farm stuff. It also doesn't help that there aren't any new bosses, objectives etc.

[bleak pike]

Just give me a new menargie

[burnt spear]

Menagerie was dope. It's a shame it went away.

[bleak pike]

Ye it was a shame

So was the haunted leviathan

[burnt spear]

It's my favorite patrol destination. Real shame they took it out.

This whole temporary seasonal format needs to go.

[bleak pike]

Great farm too!

[burnt spear]

It's been my biggest bone to pick with this game since Shadow Keep.

Make new location, make new fun game mode, delete it after 4 months.

What a waste.

[bleak pike]

At least it's not 4 months now /s

[burnt spear]

6 months woohooo

[bleak pike]

Well, except for the final season.

The coil was great

[burnt spear]

Well yeah I mostly meant the final season, but with the delay it is more than 4 months now haha

[bleak pike]

Going to be sad to lose

[burnt spear]

exactly

So were deep dives, i love the rogue like elements.

Its also fun/challenging. Most seaosnal stuff is so easy its a snooze fest.

[bleak pike]

Idk they pissed me off after a while haha

The "swimming"

[burnt spear]

Like there aren't enough enemies for me solo, let alone 3 people.

[burnt spear]

I fucking hate that so i get it lmao

I didnt even try fishing once.

As a rule of thumb, fishing, swimming and water levels can all go f off. every game that does them thinks its gonna be different but nah, its ass

[bleak pike]

The dungeon I didn't bother after getting the exotic/catalyst and master.

I only play it to help people

[burnt spear]

its too fucking long, i did it just to unlock all the armour pieces, then i farmed boss cp for the exotic and called it a day.

[bleak pike]

We don't do that here (farm boss)

https://tenor.com/view/we-dont-do-that-here-black-panther-tchalla-bruce-gif-16558003

[burnt spear]

[bleak pike]

Ye haha

[burnt spear]

arc hunter was also easy

[bleak pike]

Kinda

Usually my go to but it has its vulnerabilities aka getting close and proccing whereas titan I just auto infinite healed putting my shield down or throw my hammer lmao.

Once I had a sunspot I just went for the chair and marshmallows and laughed at enemies who also died trying to mele me.

[burnt spear]

I only found it hard during damage phases, sunspots mode those easy with titan. But then star eater Gathering storm does so much damage it balances out

It’s so funny to me that the grifters tried to say buy stellar blade and now think it’s censored but also don’t want to tell people to not buy it anymore so they just complain now about honestly love the game because it exposed so many idiots

[severe compass]

It's not on pc is it?

[hardy merlin]

Not yet at least

Sony uses deliberate "PS5 console-exclusive" wording in their campaign, so I'd expect PC version quite soon

[fading spade]

[bleak pike]

Glad to see it's on gog

[bleak pike]

@still spire it's weird but I actually don't like the censored stuff going on in stellar blade.

Not because I'm wanting skimpy outfits but they literally marketed the game heavily with so many varieties and they apparently toned down gore.

Feels very disingenuous.

[fringe salmon]

What censorship

The only examples I’ve seen so far was the one outfit where the devs basically said it just wasn’t how they envisioned it and people get crazy about less boob window

[hardy merlin]

Um... 5.1M XP?

[proper basin]

Welp, guess you’re gonna be putting in the work

[hardy merlin]

That's the work

[trim rock]

I love weeklies and dailies!!!!

[hardy merlin]

And utterly idiotic
Encourages to camp, because first ring is 5 minutes and the rest of them is 1~2 minutes each

[proper basin]

Suffer, its the games will

[hardy merlin]

Nah, I afk hidden in corner and play Balatro on second screen

[proper basin]

Balatro

[forest thicket]

5Head

[still spire]

It appears they did tone down how bloody you could get before she could get covered and turn almost completely red now the blood doesn't stick to her

Which does suck, more than the outfits, but not something I would have probably noticed

[proper basin]

This is another confirmed outfit censored in Stellar Blade. Original on left.

We're working on changing it back. It's not about inches of fabric, it's about fighting the double standard and getting Stellar Blade customers what was advertised.

[proper basin]

Since i dont got a ps5 i personally wont be able to play it. But i will say the outfits are pretty funny. Like bayonetta vibes even with the added cloth

[still spire]

I think they should have just not done this uncensored tweet, and then the controversy would have probably been dropped by even people who don't care about the sexualization outfits

Yeah I mean the game basically has as much sexualization as banana, less actually because her attacks are extremely sexualized like infinite climax

Bayonetta

[proper basin]

Yeah bayo def has more sexualized themes

[still spire]

None of this really matters I guess, besides once it comes to PC I'm sure it'll be "fixed"

[proper basin]

I dont know much of the story of stellar blade, but i assume is very much inspired by bayonetta

[still spire]

It's more inspired by Nier

Which really can't defend itself either because of the self-destruct outfit

[proper basin]

Thats pretty fitting as well

That reminds me that i need to play replicant

The wraith skin is alright but I have other ones I like more

My only complaint about Wraith skin is that weird hairdo
Should've just give her her usual good ol' bun

[grizzled quarry]

Or just make her bald

I also don't like the hair

Bald wraith is funny

I love the colors on the flatline

Looks way better than the original imo

I hope they do the same thing for a pk skin

Oh god

Talk about absolute trash tier apologies

Doubling down and throwing 50% discounts as if they make anything better as an "apology*

250$ with 50% off is still 125$, an insane amount of money

[burnt spear]

People will still support these companies no matter what they do.

[feral ferry]

Tarkov is another case of "early access" gone horribly wrong

They clearly wanted some of that infinite cashflow that Star Citizen generates without ever doing anything, and made a game they functionally cannot ever release lol

Wait ahahahah

This is the SECOND apology they issued

First one was even fucking worse lol

https://www.rxddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/s/LHrztNSxqp

Oh you paid 130$? Get 6 months FREE access to the contents of the 250$ DLC!

This is scummy as fuck

They promised all future DLC for free, nope sorry 6 months one off is best they can do

[burnt spear]

trash game anyway

[feral ferry]

It's a very unique game, not trash in any way

Little with the exact same formula exists, I would prolly binge tf out of it in singleplayer offline

Not paying a penny to that shite company

[burnt spear]

It can be unique and still be bad.

I'm a 100% not the target audience for it so it doesn't really matter. I just don't get the appeal.

[feral ferry]

I am the target audience and very much love the look of it

I'm just against the PvP aspect, I wish for a PvE mode for all games

[dreamy rain]

Out of everything you just said do you recommend buying the game right now

[coral orbit]

its one of the best if not best extraction shooter but devs ruining its potential

[grizzled quarry]

As does the rampant cheating

But that's something they really aren't able to fix

[coral orbit]

no one really can

[grizzled quarry]

Especially with the rise of dma cheats

[coral orbit]

unless you implement something like in valorant

[grizzled quarry]

Which even then isn't hard to bypass with the right tools

It's just more expensive

[coral orbit]

yeah but more expensive private cheats = less cheaters

[grizzled quarry]

Ofc, it lessens out the herd

Like in 5 seconds you can find dma val cheats, they are just really expensive

I take that back they are actually quite cheap.....

Yikes

[coral orbit]

if they cheap they are prolly fast to detect

at least i hope they are

[grizzled quarry]

I don't see any claims for how long it's been undetected for but it's only 50$ a month💀

Obviously discluding the hardware needed

[coral orbit]

they are saying if its 60€ then its better to not cheat at all from what im seeing

the good ones are also having limited slots

like a closed community or sum

[grizzled quarry]

Yeah the one I found right away is cheap but limited slots

50$ a month with 38 slots left out of who knows how many

Or a 500$ lifetime

[coral orbit]

how they can already implement ai into cheats but cannot make ai anticheat

they slow af

[grizzled quarry]

AI anti cheats would have an unreal amount of false flags

Especially when they are first implemented

[coral orbit]

you can always appeal

not from vac bans of course

[grizzled quarry]

In all the false bans I've had this has only worked once

Ironically EA are the only ones who have actually removed a false ban from any of my accounts

[coral orbit]

ea has actually good support

cant say the same about their games

[grizzled quarry]

Yeah I was surprised when I woke up and seen an email saying my ban was revoked on apex

[grizzled quarry]

Ehh

They unbanned my PC but my account was still banned I had to make a new one :p

Swing and a miss but at least I could still play apex

Lost 150$ worth of skins though

SOme real differences there

[fading spade]

whos gonna be playing for 15 hours straight though?

and you rest it on the dock when done using it so its always charged

Far better

But a BT fallback doesn't hurt

the way the controller just turns on when lifted from the Dock and immediately pairs to whatever I plug the dongle into is so nice

There's a lot of claims from people using the disc version it's true but it's hard to verify

But also the day 1 patch did make a change to the suit and the physical has the original, however I think it's silly people are moaning about that, it seems the suit was the same in the demo as the final.

thats insane

[hardy merlin]

€150 + VAT

[pure bear]

they are greedy af

hope they do down

[coral orbit]

did you pay for that shit?

[hardy merlin]

My friend bought it for me (hence gift) on discount, I used to play a lot back in the day

[coral orbit]

i mean im not a hater

but one hundred fifty

for a "booster pack"

sounds kinda crazy not gonna lie

[hardy merlin]

New one is €250 + VAT
And upgrade from EoD to new one was €95, now €47.50 (+ VAT ofc)

[coral orbit]

thats some russian business

the last time i paid for such a thing was battlefield 3 premium

[hardy merlin]

They're in UK now
And now they're shitting on Russians more than on anyone else
Their discord and subreddit is basically a warzone

[bleak pike]

Ofc they are in the UK now

[hardy merlin]

Now we need €1000 (+ VAT) edition which will not match you with cheaters for 3 first matches per day

[coral orbit]

bro battlefield 3 premium was like idk 50€

maybe even 40

and you had all the expensions

6 x 4 weapons

6 x 3 maps

what game industry has become...

[hardy merlin]

Yeah, with EoD selling point were DLCs and expansions
Other than that you had some shitty starting gear, bigger stash and some initial rep with traders
Nothing that you can't get quite quickly, and nothing that gives you real advantage, wouldn't help you at all if you had zero experience

Now they said that was a mistake, that EoD will not get all DLCs, but Unheard (new edition) will get them, for sure
After people scared them a bit with lawsuits about false advertising and, umm..., expressed their displeasure about that, suddenly EoD will have all future DLCs

Still, some of the stuff from EoD isn't even included with new package, like for example good initial standing with traders, so this upgrade is not really an upgrade

[still spire]

Might come to Steam, we'll see.

D4 is on there now, so who knows

[coral orbit]

i mean everyone has internet these days

but relying on blizzards servers which has multiple problems says by itself

[buoyant osprey]

I kind of want to expand on how I view remakes.
A remake is not really a 'new game'. It's old an one but 'remade' for (what?) reasons. Most of the time I do not find the reasons for remaking a game to be good enough and ultimately it ends up seeming like just a cashgrab. An excuse to capitalise on the company's earlier success again. Egregious examples of this is stuff like The Last of Us remake etc. which does not deserve to exist at all. I also have very high standards for remakes because in my opinion you can not and should not view them as their own thing. You HAVE to compare them to the original and assess what you think it does better and worse than the original. If a remake is not better in almost every way than the original to me then I consider it a miss and most likely thinking that the game should never have been made in the first place if it can't manage to just be the original but better. RE3 remake is a huge miss. A cashgrab disaster that severely soured my opinion of Capcom. I also consider the RE2 remake to be a miss. Maybe controversial because a lot of people love that game and it was the second RE remake after the well received RE1 remake only to then shortly after have the RE3 remake squash whatever goodwill Capcom had collected up to that point. But the RE2 remake is not better than the original to me. For every hit there's a miss and a half. Not going to get into what those are rn since that's not the point of this post but what I mean is that my criteria for a remake to be a hit is to simply beat the original in quality and justify its existence by showing that the original was in fact old enough for it to be possible to one-up it by quite a lot. Instead I find remakes to somewhat trade blows but lose out in the end towards the original in a best case scenario.

You can pay us 150 dollars instead, oh also all of the op items we were given out still exist :)

People were giving him so much "feedback" about PvE not being DLC, that he changed his mind few hours later and suddenly PvE is now a DLC https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/1cf2gnm/more_feedback/

[fading spade]

OMFH, I forgot the game was kicked off Steam

or did they just remove it themselves? i forgot

[hardy merlin]

They never were on Steam
Someone added the fake listing, Steam took it down hours later

And they will not be on Steam
Now they can charge obscene amounts of money and refuse refunds to anyone

[fading spade]

o

[orchid prism]

Well... within the confines of law

[hardy merlin]

Yeah... about that...
They do refund within 14 days or so - theoretically. Trying to talk with their support is, well... jumping through a lot of hoops, I had the displeasure of doing so
It's easier to just go through Xsolla
And I think outside US/AU/EU they just outright refuse to do so at all
Their "license agreement" says you can't refund under any circumstances, but it's a load of bs meant to scare users to not ask for refunds

[narrow junco]

All this drama just makes it clear for me i should not play this game under any circumstances

[fading spade]

^

there must be a lot of players pissed off cause if they leave the game, it means they wasted that money, so they have to stay around and keep playing despite all this shit going on

[hardy merlin]

Game good, really good, but dealing with cheaters, RMT, and BSG on top of that is just too much
Doesn't help they make the game increasingly grindy, because Twitch streamers and no-lifers used to do all quests in less than 2 weeks and then whine "no content"

I don't think they care about what's money as much as what the game became, because under this pile of shit is amazing and unique game, with a lot of passion and care put into it
But it doesn't matter when cheaters make the game unplayable, RMTs vacuums all valuable items from map the very second match starts and BSG is trying to squeeze every single penny out of playerbase

[orchid prism]

The entire thing was poorly conceived and marketed.

Game studios will use it as a case study on how not to fuck up an otherwise successful game for years to come.

Alongside other such examples as Overwatch 2.

[still spire]

More helldivers 2 nerfs

Seems they just don't want that game to be fun

[nimble current]

quasar cannon nerf was kinda expected

not sure why they felt it was nescessary to nerf the rover though

[still spire]

I mean they also just made solo runs almost impossible

I don't know why they hate solo players so much

I know the game is best in co-op and that's how I always prefer to play it, but it's seems unnecessarily mean to those who like to play by themselves

I also thought The quasar Canon already had too long of a cool down, so this just means I'll probably never use it

[nimble current]

woulda been even more broken if it didn't

was kinda hoping to see weaker strategems buffed instead to counter metawhoring but they seem to be insisting on the opposite approach for now

[nimble current]

adjudicator buff

might use it more now, actually kinda liked it but weak mag size and recoil was bit much

[digital dawn]

me with my sickle and senator: "ah yes, nerfs mhmm"

realistically quasar nerf isnt that bad

plus if theres an area where you really need it you can call down two and swap between them

[nimble current]

there's some reasonable changes made, but overall more bad than good imo

[digital dawn]

also airburst rocket launcher is completely bugged rn which is really disappointing

senator buff is awesome tho

Gardiner's proposal for a "Made for Steam Deck" program :D

I like it

[still spire]

https://vxtwitter.com/blurbstv/status/1784756008499200335

[still spire]

That means very few games wil lget SD versions

[fading spade]

he proposes some incentives too like getting a large cut if the game was bought from a steam deck, and promotion in the deck store and some other stuff

[still spire]

lol

What you are asking for, it's more likely Activision Blizzard will fix Overwatch

[fringe salmon]

valve giving selelrs a cut just for that

[still spire]

Even without the cut, Lanas list is just pure wish

A separate build just for SD? lol

Now, minium 30FPS for Steam Deck verified, I can agree with

[trim rock]

Not necessarily a separate build, just content pack. E.g. just like how you can have optional super high res textures

[fringe salmon]

will be a mess once we have more than one steam deck so that wont happen just because of that imo

[trim rock]

So instead of super high res textures you're have low res textures and default devices like deck to that instead of normal res

Of course, that requires such effort

[fringe salmon]

oh no I meant in response to the other points not just your texture pack-like suggestions

[still spire]

Still, extra work on the devs part that they probably don't want to

[trim rock]

Yeah making games smaller

Who the heck wants to do that?

https://techraptor.net/gaming/news/alan-wake-2-budget-remedy-financials I thought their 1.3M sales were "Good" ?

[orchid prism]

Expensive game.

[novel umbra]

Rip

[hardy merlin]

I think I've found the issue

[still spire]

Yeah but back when it sold 1.3M copies, people were touting what a success it was

[orchid prism]

It had its 15mins of fame for sure. At the game awards with the big song routine and all.

[still spire]

Steam release would've done it, the majority of their PC Fanbase was on Steam so yeah

[pulsar prism]

how do game "sales" work on games that are on game pass

[still spire]

What?

Alan Wake 2 isn't on Gamepass

[pulsar prism]

oh it's not i assumed it would be isn't it a microsoft game

[still spire]

No

It's an Epic game

[pulsar prism]

oh well there's your reason

[hardy merlin]

Isn't Remedy independent?

[novel umbra]

they better got a ton of fortnite bucks

[hardy merlin]

Epic is only a publisher

[still spire]

Yeah, but the game was 100% funded by Epic

[novel umbra]

Ah

Well

Ig they should get their head out of their ass now

Bit late to ride the hypetrain tho

[hardy merlin]

Little Tim? Never lol

[nimble current]

epic setting their investments up to fail by restricting it to their own shitty platform

[fringe salmon]

Or as in the linked article said it’s selling a lot faster and control ended up with over 4 million in its lifetime so they expected it to take longer to get all the sales and this is within their expectations of not ahead

[orchid prism]

[pulsar prism]

my computer isn't ready to play that game rn

[grizzled bramble]

AW2 was really good though 🙃

[fringe salmon]

DLC will also get more sales again once that’s out and is likely part of the development costs at least partially

[grizzled bramble]

Yeah, excited for that 👌

[pulsar prism]

all the new fallout series made me want to do is play new vegas again

[still spire]

Ye

[fading spade]

Currently playing the first one

It's kinda boring but I'm only starting act 2

And control is a top 5 game for me and that one started real slow too
So I'm hoping the same applied to Alan wake
That's it's a slow start

[small comet]

advanced warfare 2?

[still spire]

Alan Wake is better than Control

[deft bloom]

2 might be, the first one not so much

[still spire]

First one absolutely

[fading spade]

Can it beat the top 3 moments in control?

• Ashtray Maze
• Dynamite
• Swift Platform

I thought you are playing the game atm why would you specifically ask for spoilers

[narrow junco]

Only thing i know about control is benchmark game and office with shit flying around

[fading spade]

Idk xd

It's a slower start than Control and I'm getting impatient

[fading spade]

Oh you sweet summer child!

Nah go play it
It's so good!

Even the damn combat is great and I usually don't like third person games

[still spire]

It has terrible combat

Control literally puts me to sleep and I've tried three times to play through it

[fading spade]

How far you get?

[fringe salmon]

Yeah the combat wasn’t amazing after a while you can just use powers to get done with stuff and move forward so it’s not too bothering at least but it’s not an amazing shooter

Still very good for the story

[orchid prism]

I remember two points that frustated me in Control.

1. The spores quest. So fucking difficult at the level I was at the time
2. The big climb at the ||core?||. Just wave after wave and so many reloads at the end, because it didn't do checkpoints

[fringe salmon]

Ohh yeah that climb was very annoying

Never played AW1 but from what I gathered via the second game I’d probably also put it above control

[still spire]

8 or 9 hours in, dunno

[fading spade]

Oh

[novel umbra]

ngl

control felt very boring to me

the combat just was not enticing at all

and the exploration was also not that interesting since everything looks sameish

[fringe salmon]

Yeah if the setting doesn’t grab you it’s a hard sell

[still spire]

Well I know what they were going for, but I don't think they succeeded it was a very superficial game

[orchid prism]

Control is all about the atmosphere and the story. The gameplay really plays second fiddle.

If you skip cutscenes and don't read a lot of notes, it will probably not be very meaningful to you.

Having watched (and love?) X-Files also helps.

[still spire]

What? The story is awful.

It's nowhere near X-files.

The atmosphere is B-Grade at best

They're trying for interdimensional horror and fail hard. Twin Peaks Season 2 is even better than it at that.

[hot spire]

It was broken then he lost it though. So it depends on when they base him off.

I love the meme that fallout only happened in the US. Some military industrial complex internal conflict resulted in the US nuking it's self

And the fallout prevents communication with the outside world

[still spire]

[orchid prism]

That's just silly. Given contemporary technology (let alone a century or more later), Europe and Asia would be all over the US by force.

[hot spire]

Do you not know fallout lore?

[orchid prism]

Enlighten me.

[hot spire]

The European Commonwealth dissolved after the war with the middle East over oil

It was in its way to being third wirld

The whole point of fallout is the end of oil

The US has a strangle hold on miniature nuclear power.

[orchid prism]

Nothing is as third world as the US being nuked (mildly)
All it takes is a single country or organisation (Hell just look at how the BOS operates) to invade the US.
