yeah suddenly they're all offended by racism in that regard

but eww no mixed race families gross

[sinful cobalt]

like holy stupidity

[nimble current]

one of the best representations of brainrot I've come across in some time, hence I had to share it with ya'll

[sinful cobalt]

like sure i dont support lgbtq+ but i dont care if developers put items for them in games

[fringe salmon]

meanwhile bioshock 2 is not political, the list isnt even consistent

[sinful cobalt]

its for them not for me dont care skip it and just went with my day LOL

[still spire]

https://ioi-xd.net/files/wokeornot.html

Lots of fun

[nimble current]

no! you're supposed to boycott the game and complain loudly on the internet about it that's how modern discourse works

[sinful cobalt]

oh true

[silver garden]

It's not about that stuff being put into the game. It's about how much of it gets in.
And we have seen what consequences it can have.

[vapid lintel]

Easy points, just say yes for everythign

[nimble current]

you being offended is the consequence?

[fringe salmon]

nah thats all bullshit

[sinful cobalt]

yeah and do i care no xD

[silver garden]

No, the game flopping and studio getting shut down is the consequence.

[fringe salmon]

thats not happening anywhere

[nimble current]

yeah, people don't care if the game is good

[silver garden]

Saints Row?
Suicide Squad?
Concord?

[nimble current]

billions of people buy iphones, a company ran by a gay man

[silver garden]

Off the top of my head

[vapid lintel]

Games don't flop because they're woke or not woke

[wheat kraken]

What the fuck even was concord?

[vapid lintel]

Games flop when they're utter garbage

[sinful cobalt]

where life is strange 1 where is a kiss between 2 girls ?

[wheat kraken]

I just keep hearing "Concord" this and "Concord" that. I have no damn clue what the game even was about

[fringe salmon]

suicide squad flopped because it was mismanaged to hell and back and people said that years ago in the development

[nimble current]

they probably thought that part was lowkey hot and let it slide

[sinful cobalt]

yeah, so this list just stupid and funny xD

[silver garden]

It was a 3rd person Overwatch clone with some of the ugliest characters you have seen in a while.

[hardy merlin]

Saints Row was okayish - it just wasn't Saints Row
Suicide Squad was boring af, and Concord was a new IP in an oversaturated world of live service games with next to no marketing

[nimble current]

its an interesting insight into the thought process of a brainlet

and oh boi there ain't much thinking going on in there

[wheat kraken]

Also sort of off topic. Anyone who is a fan of BioShock, go listen to or read the BioShock prequel book. Really good book.

[hardy merlin]

Deadlock is a popular live service, because Valve, because something fresh when it comes to gameplay, because fun
Concord died, because it was another cookie-cutter 5v5 hero arena shooter

[fringe salmon]

Jason Schreier (@jasonschreier) on X

NEW: What went wrong with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League?

This is the story, based on interviews with two dozen people who worked on the game, of how Rocksteady Studios went from the revered Arkham series to a $200 million flop: https://t.co/CFfylzIr7k

Twitter · Jun 6, 2024, 11:34 AM

"Multiple people who worked on the project say their growing concerns were often met with promises from management that Suicide Squad would eventually coalesce at the last minute, just as the Arkham games had."

[nimble current]

concord committed the worst sin by being neither good or bad but utterly mediocre

[sinful cobalt]

i mean i never even heard concord before i saw it here in chat

[silver garden]

I don't expect Deadlock to last long after it goes out of beta.

[hardy merlin]

Same

[silver garden]

And I sure as hell hope it doesn't. Last thing we need is for Valve to become a trend chaser and get away with it.

[still spire]

Deadlock survive because feet and goblins

I've heard of Concord, but as a city near me

[nimble current]

bro really got a hateboner for valve

[fringe salmon]

and this reply to his initial tweet is the perfect example of how "woke" is just a hallucination from grifters

[still spire]

Who does?

[vapid lintel]

Deadlock is already on the way out, now that it's not "secret" anymore nobody gives a damn

[hardy merlin]

I'd say the exact opposite of trend chaser, MOBAs are getting less and less popular

[nimble current]

ary has had very little but negativity to say any time valve or one of their products has been mentioned here

[still spire]

It's joever

The Decline has begun

Deadlock is the next Concord

[silver garden]

Deadlock looks more like a hero shooter than MOBA.
Sure it has MOBA elements but compare it to SMITE and I think the differences are obvious.

MOBAs are moving to mobile now. There that genre is thriving because the 2 juggernauts on the PC platform are busy running their games into the ground.
And Blizzard just gave up after a while.

[hardy merlin]

Either decline or hype died down and it will now settle on stable playerbase

CS and Dota are juggernauts of industry, with decades behind them
New IP like Deadlock won't be instantly as popular as them

[sinful cobalt]

[silver garden]

I am not saying it should be.

[sinful cobalt]

their take on Dave the diver

[hardy merlin]

Valorant when it came out, despite being a new Rito game, needed massive marketing campaign and years to get where it is now
And even then its playerbase is still smaller than in CS

deadlock is just.. not for me it's so boring imo i don't get it

[fringe salmon]

did you enjoy any other moba

[buoyant osprey]

I don't like how long it takes to kill characters in it. I expect it to be more like OW where a headshot with the sniper lady would do a lot of damage but it wasn't even much of a sniper. Horribly disappointing and I hope Valve goes bankrupt and gets bought up by Meta.

[maiden tulip]

pokemon unite

is the only moba i enjoyed

mainly because it's kinda chill

[hardy merlin]

It does...
...once you have items

[fringe salmon]

well yeah if you dont enjoy mobas in general you wont like another moba

[hardy merlin]

And I'm so happy that TTK is longer, like in Dota, instead of instant kills like in League

[vital wyvern]

spoken like a true slavic Dota enjoyer

[willow viper]

I too was very bothered by this, I contacted my local politician to invoke U.N. Sanctions against Dave the Diver, how dare they make a fishing game without indigenous indians! 😢

[silver garden]

As an ex diehard MOBA player, I also don't understand it.

[barren pewter]

OMG THIS IS HILARIOUS

Feminism at its earlier points was expressed in the late 19th century, shit like wanting to wear pants, actually work, vote, etc

nothing like modern "feminism"
which I'll admit has gone simply way too far to justify
flipping the script via genderwar is fucking stupid

RDR2 had TASTEFUL feminism that I thought was fairly true to reality during the time period

Sadie is also kickass :D

[nimble current]

that list just left me speechless over the acute levels of brainlet on display

[barren pewter]

it really is

like
some of this is technically correct, but quite literally nitpicking
some of this is just stupid because you expected it (transhumanism in a cyberpunk game, I'm shocked)
and a lot of it is just sooooooooooo stupid

[nimble current]

and you just know these people are patting themselves on their backs for the great investigating and analysis they've conducted for this list

[narrow junco]

I wonder what they do with porn games on that list

Are they automatically blacklisted

[hardy merlin]

Point being in MOBAs, the lower the TTK, the lower skill ceiling
In Dota you have to poke around enemy, position carefully, know when to go for the kill
In League it's enough that you get some random CC, and you get combo into the face and get killed, and, in the mid-late game, that piece of crap slayers can one-shot combo you with whatever

[nimble current]

definitely, goes against christian family values

[hardy merlin]

Traditional nuclear family* values

[barren pewter]

the traditional nuclear family always included the two female teachers who just happen to live together a couple houses down

both unmarried, mind you

[hardy merlin]

[fringe salmon]

fiind the parts about leisure suit larry

[vapid lintel]

Does that mean Daddy Dating Simulator wouldn't be allowed?

[rancid nest]

Is snaptap banned in R6?

[nimble current]

the smol dick energy

its too much

[barren pewter]

that is just unironically hilarious ngl

[narrow junco]

These people are deranged

[hardy merlin]

Oh noe, nevermind, they are good ones, something can be interpreted as anti-LGBTQ+

[barren pewter]

never seen someone not recommend fallout 2
because of homosexual romance options

[fringe salmon]

if this list isn't convincing someone that everyone arguing anything "woke" is a made up problem in video games by grifters, they might be too far gone

[rancid nest]

Options. That one word says why. The game doesn't force you.

[barren pewter]

exactly

you could play a female character and marry Davin

[nimble current]

if anything it reveals the extremes these people bounce between

like it leaves little cultural expression left apart from basically white power/surpremacy elements, which I guess is what they desire

[barren pewter]

🫢

[vapid lintel]

The purpose of this list is to provide a resource for someone to control what another is presented with.
The fact that the game has the option means that it could be discovered and considered, this is unacceptable

[barren pewter]

omg, aughts NYC had GAY MEN??????

[rancid nest]

Also kinda interesting to take a look at what the word "gay" meant in the olden days.

[barren pewter]

happy

because guy on guy does indeed make guys happy

don't think they'd do it otherwise

[rancid nest]

"A rather gay party" Agatha Christie did not mean a pride-whatever-bullshit.

[barren pewter]

yep, literally just happy

but "gay" is easier for people than "homosexual"

big words scare small brains

[narrow junco]

If you want to maximise male happiness gay sex is the way to go cause that makes 2 men happy while straight only 1 man

[hardy merlin]

More than 8 letters

[narrow junco]

Really makes you think

Honestly? I wholeheartedly despise of anything lgbt/rainbow/thatkindastuff, and I've never seen that list.

[hardy merlin]

[fringe salmon]

why do you despise it

[drifting rose]

all the people I'd call annoyingly woke are nowhere on twatter, they're all busy badmouthing each other on mastodon

[rancid nest]

Look at California. Look at Canada.

[fringe salmon]

?

both start with CA what now

[nimble current]

how dare the gays bother me with their existence

[hardy merlin]

I admit, I'm not a fan of the whole whatevers that consulting companies push to game companies executives right now, but LGBTQ+ has nothing to do with it
Sure, they may claim that they're huge supporters, but their activism does more harm than good (mostly because any LGBTQ+ characters written by them makes that literally that character whole personality, overblown to the point of ridicule?), so maybe only Twitteronies like that

[drifting rose]

AoE 2 is yellow on this list cause it shows women performing the same labor tasks as men HAHAHAHAHA

this is gold

[hardy merlin]

[nimble current]

yep it can be patronizing and stereotypical a lot of the time for sure

#🎮│game message

[rancid nest]

I knew someone whose daughter wanted to transition. Pronouns and everything. Her mother, really didn't want this, mainly because she was christian from eastern europe (lived in canada at the time), but decided to not say anything about it, as her daughter was 17 at the time, old enough to make decisions. Her mother died of cancer (which she got nost likely from stress) last year. Her other daughter (8) is now going to grow up without her mother, because her idiotic daughter (the older one) effevtively killed her.

[nimble current]

what?

[fringe salmon]

what

[nimble current]

her daughter wanting to transition caused the cancer?

cancer caused from stress because the parent disagreed, you know if that would work we would have less issues with shit parents because the children could just cause them stress to get rid of them

I do not use UW

[maiden tulip]

I was just wondering if the duel lock on is broken for anyone else on UW

But then i just found a steam community thread

they didnt have UW support on launch and uh

the game does interesting things sometimes

[nimble current]

friend of mine was moping about that too

and refunded the game over it lmao

[maiden tulip]

like the dual camera is unusable

the UW patch should be next week

its just a bit annoying in the meantime

[nimble current]

yeah but the guy is a bit special I'll leave it at that

Preorders the maximum cost edition of a game

[maiden tulip]

4 days early access a season pass you know nothing about and 2 skins

[nimble current]

after telling others not to of course

[maiden tulip]

WOOOOOO take 135$

[proper basin]

Tis the way

[calm rune]

What's the max you'd pay for a game nowadays? It'll still be 60 for me

[drifting rose]

40

[proper basin]

Depends on the game, but i usually spend 40

[grizzled bramble]

Only game i've had problems with recently was Helldivers II and it didn't want to run & yes i know that one shouldn't pre-order and whatever but maybe i just have got lucky with the other ones?

[maiden tulip]

New games are like 90cad nowadays

[nimble current]

20-30

[grizzled bramble]

Also i've waited so long for GOW : Ragnarök so it is whatever

[maiden tulip]

I haven't had a game "not wanna run" in ages

Last i can think is like uh

Deus ex mankind divided

[drifting rose]

makes u wonder if pre-orders are usually that successful, this is just the first time we can see that 50% of people are easily separated from their money

[maiden tulip]

I had to really fight with thay game

[pure bear]

i think they are

[nimble current]

if you ever visit garbage rooms and recycling stations it gives you the true scope of how much money the average person just throws away

[nimble current]

thrown away because whatever reason

[grizzled bramble]

Yes & What the bat?

[pure bear]

i preordered dark souls 2

[pure bear]

nice

[drifting rose]

YOU FUCKED UP
but I can understand it

[proper basin]

Good choice

[maiden tulip]

Only thing I do that could be deemed similar to preordering is... buying the game on release date like less than 5 mins before it launches because i feel like playing it at midnight or whatever

[pure bear]

ds1 ptd edition was so amazing and all

[maiden tulip]

But by that point reviews are out

[pure bear]

no way they could fuck it up right

[nimble current]

am like the antithesis of pre-orderers, I usually wait a year or two until the game is on sale and has been patched/finalized accordingly

[pure bear]

i do too yeah

[maiden tulip]

Is it technically preordering if i buy it like within the firet hour of the game launching or a few minutes before it launches

[drifting rose]

no way this game could possibly look like a PS2 game and be completely unfun RIGHT

[pure bear]

only game i will make an exception for is MHWilds. I need that shit.

[maiden tulip]

Generally reviews are already out so...

xD

[grizzled bramble]

Played Cyberpunk day 1 and had one problem in a specific place and that was mostly it

[maiden tulip]

Cyberpunk was so fucked on day one

[pure bear]

i played elden ring day1

shit was stuttery as all hell

[maiden tulip]

I had gotten the game as a gift from a friend like a year prior tho

[proper basin]

I played both a but a bit after day 1

[pure bear]

refunded it, bought it on first sale

[maiden tulip]

Couldn't really refund

[orchid prism]

Completed it on day 1 just fine. In fact the first couple of patches made my experience WORSE 😄

[grizzled bramble]

The problem i had was with a misson with Panam, the dialogue didn't want to continue when meeting up with some people & the problem got solved with loading an earlier quick save

[maiden tulip]

I literally got softlocked 5 times before i was able to progress past the first quest

Some door wouldn't open @orchid prism

[orchid prism]

I only had one hiccup. A quest with nomad girl wouldn't start. So I loaded a quicksave from 30 seconds ealier.

[drifting rose]

and then there are those dingbats that say, in between spoonfuls of paste, "hurrr don't criticize it mään it just got released"

[maiden tulip]

I kept reloading earlier and earlier saves and then after my 5th attempt i scrapped my save fully

[grizzled bramble]

Played Alan Wake II day 1 no problems

[maiden tulip]

Made a new one

[orchid prism]

in hindsight it's kind of amazing we got a decent game, with how it looked on launch with the literally unplayable console builds 😄

[fringe salmon]

decent game? you talking about cyberpunk? thats still broken for me

except they failed miserably at that by having robots act as really shallow and shitty NPCs
and still had the map strewn with corpses, notes and holotapes

and then reverted that two years later
pretty poor results

went from "pointless microtransactions" to "pay to win" in that timeframe
still has horrible latency, is buggy as hell, and just impossible to really enjoy

did I mention it has absolutely zero RPG elements?
like, they didn't even pretend to try

I struggle to believe that anyone other than a D2 player who is used to doing mindnumbing missions over, and over, and over again, would actually enjoy it

[outer pollen]

I love a mindless grind

That's why I like Warframe and Monster Hunter

[hardy merlin]

Since when Monster Hunter is a grind simulator?

[outer pollen]

Always has been when you want a specific item/part to drop

I remember farming diablos like 20 hunts back in 3 Ultimate for a Majestic Horn

Or farming Gogmazios back in 4U so I could craft the gunner set

[still spire]

.what

It's one of the original lol

[maiden tulip]

Don't even remind me

[maiden tulip]

Since before the new games

Play anything psp or 3ds era and you'll suffer

The 3ds games were so good compared to world

[hardy merlin]

I meant grind simulator to the point like Warframe is

The Bootleg Pokemon Black and White for the original Gameboy.

Was a different poketmonster game.

Not by pocket monster.

Better game overall vs pokemon and had story dialogue.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=BFvRbQBFJcg

The Game was Pokemon Bootleg edition.

The game was a Japan only port.

The games original name was Telefang.

You used cellphones to pick up women and summon monsters.

balls were not used for catching monsters

balls were money

I am fairly certain that World of Warcraft is at an all time high player count across its entire lifetime.

The number of players in China playing WOTLK is on par with the highest retail peak we've ever seen in WCL's lifetime.

Then add in SoD and The War Within on top of that.

Anyone use their wooting keyboard as a controller for an emulated game? I'm curious how it'd compare to an actual controller for a console game such as ncaa football 06 wich I've been emulating recently

[vital wyvern]

i don't think emulation makes a difference, it's just a keyboard-shaped controller

[sweet jay]

You're right. I just said emulator because those tend to require a controller or a fake controller. I really was asking about how good the wooting keyboard was as a controller useability wise vs a controller.

[crystal juniper]

China been carrying WoW for a long time, especially because they love microtransactions there

[orchid prism]

China is a massive market after all. But with very weird censorship (for video games in this context specifically)

[small comet]

i personally use a controller either way as a keyboard shaped controller just doesnt work for me

isnt that just wow china though

Ow

[still spire]

Or a stand, like the original one came with

So, 4 years after PS5 releases, the PS5 got a 50$ increase, and the PS5 pro is 700$. Hilarious.

What the fuck is going on

[orchid prism]

Yet another console I won't be buying till a decade after it's sales relevant and properly jailbroken 😄

[still spire]

In this same cycle by now the PS1/PS2/PS3/PS4 were like half price

[warped badge]

800 euros in france ;-;

[still spire]

Like the base PS5 should be on sale for 350$, the discless 300$

And this should be 500$,

[orchid prism]

I assume this will still have an onboard SSD that turns it into a ticking timebomb.

[still spire]

PS5 Pro + Disc Drive = 920€

[silver garden]

Wow they... doubled the price?

What GPU does it have in there now?

[buoyant osprey]

Doubled the price?

[still spire]

30% more GPU performance

0% more CPU performance

[fringe salmon]

doubled the SSD

also same CPU was expected

[still spire]

2TB NVMES are cheap as hell these days and more so with the ones Sony uses

• Stand = 950€

[heavy gull]

hmm so i guess most of the performance difference comes from pssr upscaling?

[fringe salmon]

no mostly from the 45% higher gpu performance

[heavy gull]

oh yea i misread that above, i see

[still spire]

By all rights, it should sell awfully, but so should the Handheld they did

Sony however, continues to fuck over consumers and come out ahead, so it works for them

[fringe salmon]

where did your 30% come from

its a 67% larger gpu and 45% rendering they say

name a few

[fringe salmon]

ratchet and clank, god of war, last of us, returnal, FF7, FF16, horizon, spider man

[warped badge]

all on pc ?

[fringe salmon]

and no not all on pc

[little cape]

i mean you have to wait two years later for it

[fringe salmon]

or longer sometimes

[little cape]

gta 6 isnt coming out on pc on launch date either...

[warped badge]

yeah but I don't have to pay a 800 euros console for

[little cape]

yeah i dont recommend the pro version at all . But the slim or the original ps5 will do

[digital dawn]

horizon and last of us are also on ps4

[fringe salmon]

I mean was more listing non pc games

[digital dawn]

ah I see. I meant specifically ps5 exclusives.

[fringe salmon]

remove those, add demon souls

[quiet vault]

this game kinda ugly

[fringe salmon]

stellar blade, some others idk I dont keep up that much but its more than just 0 or 1

[vale yarrow]

there's been some official talk about Stellar Blade PC. For me there really isn't any exclusive other than GTA

[buoyant osprey]

This console generation is so insanely weak. Memes aside.

[fringe salmon]

do people just not read that I explicitly said TIMED exclusives?

and sure if you have a pc the consoles dont offer much

[buoyant osprey]

I cringe inside whenever I see Sony keep display Horizon as their big thing when it's just this mid series that is only there because it's one of the few things they have.

[small comet]

until the end of time or before that

[fringe salmon]

but if you dont have a decent gaming pc already? consoles just work

[small comet]

especially if you dont care about high fidelity graphics or such

[nimble current]

consoles were actually looking like a pretty good deal for some time, sony is finally patching that problem

[small comet]

i know enough people who just wanna play story games or enjoy games for the gameplay but dont really care much for 4k and such

[vale yarrow]

Xbox and Sony changed up their strategy and are releasing on PC now. They must see the same things (whatever it is). Only Nintendo holding on now and it's still working for them i can't hate

[heavy gull]

i'd say for people who just want to boot up and play, consoles are pretty alright for that purpose

but true its gotten more expensive now

[bleak pike]

pvp is optional tho

[small comet]

but why

[bleak pike]

it also has pve campaigns

[heavy gull]

The most fun I had was turning my brain off and scanning planets to 100%.

[heavy gull]

no mans sky seems more appealing to me personally

[little cape]

yeah i heard it was bad and people tried to positive review spam the game when it look like dog water

[buoyant osprey]

The exploration is bad. The dialogue is bad. The quests are bad. The graphics are bad. The faces are all hideous. It's a horrible game. I still have almost 100 hours in it from mindless grinding but yeah it is easily the worst modern Bethesda game. Even 76 is better (imo). Daggerfall is also better.

[nimble current]

Todds magnum opus, the game he always dreamed of making

to be honest i dont like bethesda games. I heard fallout 3 and 4 are good though

[nimble current]

back when bethesda actually innovated

[little cape]

which version though ?👀

[small comet]

i just read 76 is better

and cant believe it

[small comet]

ps2 with friends on a 4 way splitter

[vale yarrow]

When Mark Cerny said that developers are asking for a more powerful console i cringed a little. Your current games don't even come close to something like RDR2 which was released on PS4 6 years ago

[little cape]

this is why youre a G for gangster

[buoyant osprey]

They are meh.

Both have mostly shitty writing.

[little cape]

fair they usually make buggy games

[nimble current]

last one I really played was FO3 and I had a good time with that

its a terrible fallout game though

[buoyant osprey]

At least Fallout 4 can have fun gameplay. I'm convinced only people who genuinely love Fallout 3 are stoopid and/or have nostalgia.

[nimble current]

but was a pretty fun loot and shoot thing with some rpg-ish elements

[little cape]

what about fallout 3 las vegas

[bleak pike]

either way you can do none pvp \

[buoyant osprey]

But yeah... Bethesda ruined Fallout to me.

[nimble current]

I have it but only played like 2 hours, failed to get the qol and visual update mods working

heard it has a better story tho

[buoyant osprey]

Much better than 3. But still very flawed, buggy and unfinished (Obsidian momang).

It's the Kotor 2 of Fallout.

[little cape]

so youre telling me the only good thing bethesda made was fallout tv show?

[nimble current]

yeah bethesda kinda misunderstood what the franchise was really about from the start

[buoyant osprey]

I didn't like that either. Thought the show was incredibly mid actually.

[nimble current]

they basically just took it and made it into postapocalyptic oblivion

[little cape]

to be honest, better than most video game movies or shows

we dont talk about the minecraft movie💀

[nimble current]

with some bits and pieces of og fallout sprinkled in like VATS, which doesn't make any sense without the turn-based system anyways but hey its fun

[buoyant osprey]

Funny evil companies hahaha

[orchid prism]

Yeah by being limited to what portion of the game you are into.

It's like only playing the DLC of a Fallout game.

[buoyant osprey]

I remember the meltdown people had when that dood said Fallout was never about capitalism.

[orchid prism]

[nimble current]

wasn't it reddit that banned fallouts creator tim cain from the fallout reddit board for saying that

[little cape]

might have to buy VR headset

[buoyant osprey]

Idk. Don't frequent it.

Chris Avellone also said the same thing before.

I think ultimately, primarely, Fallout is about epic wastelands.

[bleak pike]

https://tenor.com/view/skillissue-skill-issue-gif-22125481

jokes aside i do get ya

[buoyant osprey]

Anything else is secondary.

[bleak pike]

i jsut looked and ye its lesser

[nimble current]

me either reddit is trash, but I hear some amusing tidbits occasionally

[bleak pike]

Like 30% of gold and rep is stupid

[buoyant osprey]

There's very little in the original Fallout games about crazy companies from what I remember.

That really picked up in Fallout 3 with terminal entries.

[drifting rose]

vault-tec going crazy is a whole thing, that was added in Fallout 2

[buoyant osprey]

Yeah, but there's quite little of those things in Fallout 1/2.

Every BGS game has a company building where dark secrets about sacrificing employees to Moloch occur.

Revealed on terminals that I have kind of lost patience with.

[nimble current]

fallout has bobs iguana bits ||that sell human flesh shashliks||

[drifting rose]

what a scathing indightment of capitalism, let me get my hammer and sickle flag and blahaj

[buoyant osprey]

Whenever I see people say that this game is about x and y I always feel like those are secondary qualities at best.

I don't think Fallout was made because they wanted to tell anything. I think it was made because they wanted to make a badass post-apocalyptic RPG.

Things like 'it's about how war never changes' seem like they came secondary.

[nimble current]

creator himself basically said the game is about how war is inevitable with humanity and the game is basically just dealing with the fallout (geddit) of that

[buoyant osprey]

I don't think SH2 exists because they wanted to tell a story about the human condition or whatevs. I think it exists because Konami wanted a sequel and because Team Silent wanted to make spooky stuff.

And any 'reason' beyond that comes after.

[drifting rose]

the good thing about art is, it can be interpreted in different ways, half of what you see in it is yourself reflecting on it. if it's about the follies of unchecked capitalism for someone else -- good

like, George Lucas' vision of star wars was fucking terrible and nobody complained about the fans seeing different things in that

problem is people are often acting like their personal interpretation of some work is the only valid one lel

[buoyant osprey]

I hate the term 'media literacy'. I don't think you're in any way wrong for simply feeling differently about things.

[nimble current]

star wars is a funny beast, the og films are very simple writing with campy acting carried by insanely talented set/prop and filming crews

it wasn't ment to be a mega franchise, it was just some silly sci-fi flick back then that happened to go huge

[buoyant osprey]

Like saying you have no 'media literacy' (the ultimate Reddit term) if you like the Joker character. There is nothing incorrect about liking and relating to the character.

[drifting rose]

the first film was famously saved in editing, and if you watch the original theatrical cut you can see that. it's bollocks

[drifting rose]

lol I'd say thinking there are objective viewpoints when it comes to art is the exact opposite of media literacy

[buoyant osprey]

I recently played through Kotor 2 with the restored content patch and didn't like it. It makes it bloated in certain parts and kinda fucks the pacing up. And some additions are quality.

[drifting rose]

yeah sometimes stuff not making the cut is a very good idea lel

[buoyant osprey]

Like yeah an artist can mean something specific when he creates it. Someone can make the Legion in Fallout thinking they are 'objectively evil'. But I don't see how someone is wrong by seeing it differently. 'If you disagree with the artist you are stupid'.

[drifting rose]

objectively evil by modern standards, historically totally normal

like that's how I see them, and it's not a stretch to resort to labor saving technique via enslavement and the usurpation of tribes, it's the exact correct environment for that to happen

[buoyant osprey]

Fallout universe is not normal. Things work differently there. I can see the points the Legion makes. They supposedly have very safe territories (them in NV is just a war frontier). But they do controversial things of course.

[drifting rose]

it's a result that goes with the theme of humanity's sin being warfare

and then again

in absolute numbers, there are more slaves today still than there were in history

it MAKES YA THINK and that's GOOD ART

[buoyant osprey]

Who is it that said something along the lines of 'as long as my work makes you think it has succeeded'?

[drifting rose]

I am not familiar with that quote but I can get behind it

basically what I wanna say is you can hate the legion all you want, there is nothing inhuman about them and I love that

and if anyone sees it any different I will respond to them by saying "what are you stupid?" and ban them from my subreddit

[bleak pike]

crash badicoot on oled looks incredible....

[fading spade]

whats new in the PS5 pro?

Compared to the current PS5 anyway xd

[drifting rose]

it's a tiny bit higher specced and you get AI upscaling (yawn)

[fading spade]

o

[fringe salmon]

45% faster gpu, 2tb ssd

And faster ray tracing

[fallow bronze]

No diskdrive?

[fading spade]

45% is a significant increase, but if you have a PS5 already then I dont see a reason to upgrade

[drifting rose]

well they claim 45% but we'll see when it's out

[fading spade]

Fair

[fringe salmon]

it'll be accurate

we know the CU increase and memory and thats roughly in line with what you see on desktop

also yeah pro consoles are never really meant for existing console owners

since you need compatibility stuff has to still work and cant be 30x faster

if it says hdr400 or 600 ignore it

thats why I said sort of HDR LOL

It does have it but its garbage

If reviews doesnt lie about the hdr on the xg27acs its not that bad hdr even on 400

if it was not bad it would not be rated 400

Wish Mojang found a way to do flawless teleporting, cause even if you TP someone while they are moving, there is still a very short stutter that happens on the screen and you can tell you got teleported

On Java Edition... Well, because it's Java
And Bedrock Edition is a janky mess

[fading spade]

Yeah LOL

Java Edition performs better on my PC than Bedrock also

Smoother, no jittering

and higher FPS...

[hardy merlin]

And when you add Sodium the chasm between them is even bigger

[fading spade]

yeah, I have Sodium xd

and various other Fabric mods

[fallow bronze]

But that render distance in bedrock is sooo nice

[fading spade]

True...

https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2024/09/sony-increases-ps5-controller-prices-in-us-europe-and-more

new conspiracy theory: the PS5 controller price hike + 700bux mid-gen console refresh is to pay back the losses from Concord

[fading spade]

Id believe that

[fringe salmon]

yeah you'd believe any conspiracy lmao

[fading spade]

Nah

most I dont

[silver garden]

All 3 console players are being obnoxious assholes now.

We need Sega to return..

[nimble current]

is this even a conspiracy

they gotta recoup that money somewhere and it's not gonna come from their own pockets or wages

[fringe salmon]

the controller price change was known before concord

[silver garden]

If only I had the power to piss people off and then recoup my mistake by pissing even more people off.

[drifting rose]

I remember when the Wii-U flopped the Nintendo CEO ritually beheaded himself on stage and then they followed it up with a console that people liked a short time later

oh well that's ancient history now

[fringe salmon]

I mean, the pro might not flop so

and sony was publisher not developer for the game

[drifting rose]

I think they bought the dev but instead of looking that up, I should go to bed now

The Crew Motorfest (@TheCrewGame) on X

We heard your concerns about access to The Crew games

Today, we want to express our commitment to the future of The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest.

We can confirm an offline mode to ensure long term access to both titles, stay tuned for more news in the next months.

They post this and the Crew 2 is 1$ rn as the game is going to get delisted

🤔 will they actually give an offline mode or not

[novel umbra]

game sucks anyways

esp without online

[barren pewter]

welp
colour me curious

if it is a solid racing game, for the low price of a buck fourty, may as well

[maiden tulip]

For that price it's worth it

[barren pewter]

most games are worth it for that price xD

[maiden tulip]

Its got motorcycles too

Which is kinda cool and we don't get motorcycle racing much nowadays

I mean... ever

The Ride games are super meh

And the only good motorcycle games have been offroad

Like MX vs ATV

[barren pewter]

Mafia Definitive edition had some

but admittedly no racing them

outside of the dedicated race mode with ONE TRACK

still my fave game in the series, by far

[carmine sage]

[proper basin]

oh i was trying to figure out what im suppose to be looking at

[outer pollen]

Bottom right is the new packs

[cold anvil]

Actually depressing

This is a list of games you can only play on ps5 and ps5 alone

What happened to exclusives 💔💔💔

[ripe tulip]

It happened when companies realized that they can make more money by releasing it on pc

[proper basin]

good for me at least

[sinful cobalt]

I gonna wait for the Stellar Blade pc release

[outer pollen]

I'd like to play Rise of Ronin

[cold anvil]

Exactly, I have no reason to own a ps5

Other than to play all the games I bought but never finished

But besides that all the new games will be on pc within a year after launch so whats the point

[young hill]

Maybe you can use the dualsense to the fullest extent on it. Personally exclusives seemed like a way to separate or spread people.

[cold anvil]

You’re right about that, some of the dual sense features are bugged on pc

[ripe tulip]

Like what

So far all of them have been fine with ps games and others that use them

[cold anvil]

Hd rumble didnt work on Tlou part 1 and haptic triggers didnt work on hi-fi rush but thats about it

Everything else on pc with those features worked fine as far as I know

[ripe tulip]

I see

Tlou part 1 was fine with me but I never played hifi rush

https://www.gamestop.com/trade/details/?pid=229025 Lmao

They dropped the trade in price for PS5s by HALF in one day

Apparently it was 410 yesterday

Dropped to 230 today, and now the website is saying 385 lol

But nobody can get 385.

I'M SO HAPPY DANCE OF CORPSES IS IN THIS

[small comet]

@hardy merlin

[hardy merlin]

I bought Just as Planned DLC back in the day, have all content

[fading spade]

Yes yes!

[outer pollen]

I wonder why they reverted the changes back to the old model they had

[scarlet marlin]

samesies, smart purchase

[scarlet marlin]

they got a lot of backlash

[outer pollen]

Ohhhhhhh

[hardy merlin]

Chinese gamers don't f around when it comes to some insults

Still, bummer some of the content won't be available anymore for new players

[scarlet marlin]

yeah so they kinda made it better than what their initinal new plan was, but you still need go buy the dlc's (discounted)

if you got Just as Planned back in the day, you will still receive all for free

right?

@hardy merlin

[hardy merlin]

Yeah, nothing changes there
Muse Plus get everything too but Miku DLCs

[fading spade]

Wait
How do I find out what I have

[small comet]

just buy it again lana

trust me

im an engineer

[fading spade]

Xd

I already bought the game twice
Switch and Steam

But only the dlc on steam

[scarlet marlin]

and possible big IP DLC's I assume

[small comet]

miku is small fry anyway

[fading spade]

Yeah
That's why they are removing the Miku dlc from sale

[scarlet marlin]

on the library page on your steam it will show under DLC

[hardy merlin]

There won't be new big DLCs, if there will be a collab it'll be in form of new characters and music packs, all included

1. The DLCs now on sale will be pulled off shelves. The players who haven't purchased them will be unable to obtain them. And those who have made purchases can permanently unlock and play them.
2. New DLCs will no longer be introduced in the game.
3. Players who purchased Muse Plus can unlock all avaliable music packs, characters, and elfins at once. And you can also get the new things in the later updates for totally free.

[scarlet marlin]

[fading spade]

O
I'll check soon

[hardy merlin]

Mlep
@fading spade You have it too

[scarlet marlin]

love her muse dash design btw

its so cute

[fading spade]

Oo!

Thought so but I wanted to make sure

[fading spade]

She's gorgeous

Miku's design is already so gorgeous
Just a shame her voice isn't that great :'(

[silver garden]

Realistically the most exciting thing about PS5 Pro is to play older games are 120 FPS with no compromises (hopefully). But we have PCs for that...

[fringe salmon]

good to see reddit is just categorically false lmao

[still spire]

How is it false?

[silver garden]

Well you are being negative therefor it's false.

Obviously.

[fringe salmon]

for one they all use 1tb when the pro has 2

[fringe salmon]

can you just shut up for once

then the gpu isnt going to be the same performance

since it's using RDNA4 RT IP you either gotta get a not released card or a more expensive nvidia card

unless you dont care about RT at all which is a flip flop of what PCMR wants or not in a given day

[bleak pike]

Quin isn't negative, he's just logical.

[still spire]

He's just a sony pony, as per norm.

[bleak pike]

It's annoying but it's logical

[fringe salmon]

I think the ps5pro is a completly stupid price lol

doesnt change that this reddit post is just false

like if you want to make a similar pc you gotta have to add another 50 to the ssd ugprade and then get a 4070 which starts at like 570 instead of 400 for a 7700xt

4060ti would be cheaper but weaker

sure you can add up you have to pay for psplus and all that stupid shit

but that all doesnt change that this list on reddit is just not true

[fading spade]

Bruh....

[fringe salmon]

thats cloud backups, not your local saves

[hardy merlin]

It was that way since PS3 - you get local saves you can move with USB stick, cloud saves are in subscription

[fringe salmon]

also

[hardy merlin]

Volvo really spoiled us, console realm is dark and grim

[fringe salmon]

idk spoiled sounds too nice if you consider it's because they make so much more money

[silver garden]

Those GPU prices definitely aren't making things easier. But I got pretty close.

And this PC will already be miles faster than the PS5 Pro. If used market is an option I am sure you can keep the performance and pricematch them.

[bleak pike]

Idk they stuck with the same horrible design

[bleak pike]

[hardy merlin]

But still, on Xbox you get cloud saves with free account

[bleak pike]

Ye

[fringe salmon]

oh I'm not defending sonys practices, they are bad

[silver garden]

So.. will there be an Xbox Series X... X?

[fringe salmon]

I just think valve gets held on too much of a podium because people forget how much money they make they just dont make it upfront from customers

[bleak pike]

Xbox Series XXX

[silver garden]

Xbox SeX^2

[fringe salmon]

nope they already relaunched the X with 2tb and thats it

[maiden tulip]

I can confirm this myself

[silver garden]

So Xbox just gonna let Sony have the faster console after jerking themselves off at how much better their 40 TFLOPS fridge was?

[fringe salmon]

xbox cant make a much better console because the series x already is that for the series S

series S was the stupidest thing both for microsoft and customers to make

[maiden tulip]

Xbox just wants xbox to be a service

They don't care about hardware

[silver garden]

I hoped Series S would keep optimization in check but boy was I wrong.

[hardy merlin]

And also because they're giving their users more features I'd say
Sony may earn less than Volvo does, but they're far from being poor
If they wanted to, they could get by even giving their users free multiplayer, worked for them great during PS3 era

[fringe salmon]

series s has less ram than the previous xbox generation

thats not keeping anything in check that keeps devs telling them its a bad idea before it launched and they never changed it

[maiden tulip]

Series s only existed to sell gamepass

[fringe salmon]

yup they pushed for cloud consoles too early and it fell flat

[fringe salmon]

oh yeah absolutely, especially with ps5 base breaking even in costs since years

[maiden tulip]

I mean it's fine for casual gamers who just want to play cod and madden

Lol

[nimble current]

console market deserves to burn for a bit

they did this to themselves

[silver garden]

Pretty sure they have been burning since PS4 at the very least

[maiden tulip]

Nah ps4 was successful

[pastel bolt]

xbox one started the shitshow tbf

[maiden tulip]

TV SPORTS SPORTS SPORTS

[fringe salmon]

the shitshow started with microsoft doing the failed presentation and sony making a 10 second spot on how you can give someone else the game and it works

ever since then xbox has been in decline

[pastel bolt]

Ps3 and x360 were last actually good console gen

[calm rune]

Facts, not having to pay for online was legendary as a lower middle class kid

[pastel bolt]

Good exclusives and fair price point

[silver garden]

PS3 was a flop due to price. And both PS3 and Xbox 360 had too many games with awful performance. even by todays standards.
PS4 was much better and Xbox fell flat on it's face. Both consoles had an obnoxiously weak CPU, especially when the pro versions came around.
PiS5 and Xbox SeX are arguably the most flawless consoles but this time the whole gaming industry together decided to shit the bed.

[hardy merlin]

PS3 was meh - last time I wanted to play Borderlands on it I wanted to gouge my eyes out
PS2 was amazing though, still playing on mine

[nimble current]

this is hard to argue even as a pc diehard

[proper basin]

You know what this means? Lets bring back the Kinect

[pastel bolt]

I managed to grab 2 years of xbox live gold for 60 eur back then, wasnt too big of an investment

Considering the console costed like 180eur

[silver garden]

If backwards compat was better, PS5 and Xbox SeX would've sold much better as you could've played all the previous bangers at 4K 120 FPS with no hitches.

[pastel bolt]

some shady third party site had those 12+1 month live cards for 28eur

[hardy merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/i-dont-believe-you-whatever-lies-gif-3602502

[silver garden]

Why not? Where am I wrong?

[hardy merlin]

4K 120FPS on 6700 chip would be hard to achieve, especially for older games

[maiden tulip]

https://www.gamesradar.com/platforms/ps5/former-blizzard-boss-says-the-dollar700-ps5-pro-is-really-more-like-a-dollar350-upgrade-because-its-aimed-at-people-who-can-trade-in-their-ps5s-at-places-like-gamestop/

[silver garden]

Of course not all games. But many would've been playable with no or minimal dynamic resolution.

[fringe salmon]

not without custom hardware

ps3 especially due to heavy use of the cell hardware in many games would need either a beefier cpu or special hardware to emulate that properly

[silver garden]

We have DMC5 and Doom Eternal running at 120 FPS on a bloody Series S console. Of course they are not doing 4K but even at lower resolutions doing 120 FPS in such good looking games is not a small feat. Especially compared to how unstable they are on previous gen.

[pastel bolt]

Backwards compatibility isn't a huge selling point to a lot of people

[hardy merlin]

With lowered fidelity and barely running

[fringe salmon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbNz0VObs54

add like 25% gpu power on it and you are not getting close to 120 in games

[silver garden]

Tbh DMC5 fans are gonna have a field day with PS5 Pro.

You can make the game run at 120 FPS with RT on. Which PS5 Pro may be able to pull off.

[silver garden]

Well of course not. You are trying to emulate those games.

[fringe salmon]

which ps5 would need to do as well

[silver garden]

I know.

Well for some games it could probably use the PC version.

[hardy merlin]

[silver garden]

Now that I think about it. Injecting PC games into consoles could be a cool feature.

Since new consoles use the same hardware anyway.

[hardy merlin]

That'd require work from game developers still, because Windows vs some form of freeBSD-esque-OS

[fringe salmon]

would just end up in lower performance than equal pc hardware unlike builds made for the hardware

[rancid hearth]

it would really be cool if consoles could just run windows, not even to run games, just to be able to do more with them
