Do ''Clair Obscur'' count towards the AAA game category?
Also these 2 should count into that category too or?
Will have to see how they perform though
quiet vault
30devs kinda small
pure bear
no thats game journalism
maiden tulip
Yeah but you can't just ignore support studios
pure bear
it was made by 34 devs and some other helpers ofc
30 or 50 doesnt change the narrative significantly
its about being bettern than what ubi would do with 3000
the article is also just completely twisitng the meaning of "made" here
maiden tulip
its about being bettern than what ubi would do with 3000
Has ubi ever made a turn based rpg
pure bear
the original intent of the statement clearly meant the gameplay side
quiet vault

doesnt seem to change much
maiden tulip

Kk so soundtrack and animation doesn't mstter?
pure bear
Kk so soundtrack and animation doesn't mstter?
ur just being obtuse
maiden tulip
I'm just wondering if they ever did
pure bear
people mean that the gameplay was made by far less people than other studios
maiden tulip
I don't remember them ever stepping in that genre
pure bear
ofc the other teams contributed and made part of the game
maiden tulip

Like the soundtrack is fucking beautiful
10/10

too french :D
maiden tulip
too french :D
i don't think so
generally euro french music gets on my nerves but this doesn't
Then again a lot of it is instrumental heavy

Same for PS and Xbox

is drift as bad on those controllers?
proper basin
For dualsense its quite common
fading spade
ah...
mellow garden
DualSense also has no fucking battery life
fading spade
Im aware of that one xd both my sisters who have a PS5, they always plug the controller in while using it
proper basin
And ive have had Xbox controllers with consistent bumper problems far more than other controllers
And front buttons
hardy merlin
Itll be next decade by the time Nintendo use HE sticks
Why should they do that though? If sticks break you have to buy a new controller
Detachable Joy Cons are a feature for both Nintendo's profits and consumers
Buying new console would be a no go, but new Joy Cons... Why not 
fading spade
ah yes, 95 dollar every 6 months when they start to drift
nimble current
you could make a case that its planned obsolescense with the tech available now
fading spade
yeh for sure
nimble current
but you'd have to get a governing body like the eu to enforce it
digital dawn
ah yes, 95 dollar every 6 months when they start to drift
the joysticks actually seem incredibly easy to replace
they’re just screwed in and attach to the motherboard with a ribbon cable
hardy merlin
For you, sure
But remember that most of the people are afraid of electronics or even handling screwdriver
And ever more of them are too lazy to fix it
quiet vault
just send them in
digital dawn
that is true, but you can also send them in to nintendo and they’ll fix em for free
and I don’t think they could’ve used hall effect given the strong magnets right next to the sticks

IM NOT ALONE
HOLY SHIT
A FELLOW TRIGGER BREAKER
maiden tulip
ah yes, 95 dollar every 6 months when they start to drift
They literally replace it for free even if your warranty is expired
grizzled bramble
What do you do to break triggers? rage quit?
maiden tulip
by being a racist
i break my R triggers
Broke my ds's R trigger, my dsi's R trigger, my og xbox's r trigger, my 360's R trigger, my one's R trigger, my series X R trigger
maiden tulip
i did kill one of those too
By playing dying light
Cuz it was the button for parkour/jump
But yeah i never had a stick break on me besides my right joycon and that took 7 years
sinful cobalt
maiden tulip
And it was a 15 minute replacement because nintendo offered me a neon yellow joycon instead of a pikachu yellow joycon because they didn't make the pikachu yellow anymore
and i wanted my pikachu yellow
How dare they offer me a choice of 2 different shades of yellow
That are not EXACTLY pikachu yellow
so i just did the repair myself with a gulikit stick
Cuz i needed pikachu yellow

Shokuho is so much fun. Bannerlord really shines in this setting.
And even more fun with European gunpowder.

This is prop why nintendo think the game is worth $80
It’s also just a fun game

just buy the damn bundle
It's like 50usd if you do lol
Like who the fuck is gonna buy a standalone switch 2
Without mario kart then buy the boxed expensive mario kart
mellow garden
Me, the person that wanted a physical cartridge
maiden tulip
Me, the person that wanted a physical cartridge
there's basically no point unless you're idk extremely short on storage
Which the console comes with 256gb so
And before you say "i can resell it"
We both know you ain't selling mario kart
Out of all games
small comet
i wish i sold my digital mario kart code
maiden tulip
i wish i sold my digital mario kart code
Why'd you buy the bundle then
maiden tulip
Oh lol
small comet
after having tried the game i wish i still just sold the code.
it wasnt as fun to drive around as i hoped not to mention no analog trigger gas controls with the NSO GC controller
small comet
i wish there was an option to though
maiden tulip
Literally half the game is spent holding A
small comet
exactly
and my hope was just given there now is official analog triggers there may be a setting to use them like in most other racing games
mellow garden
And before you say "i can resell it"
Sure but I can also get bored of the entire console and sell it
I sold my launch day Switch 1 in mid-2020 because I stopped using it
fading spade
ah yes, being digital only is a great feature /s
mellow garden
I do wish we could sell our digital games (on all platforms)
small comet
ah yes, being digital only is a great feature /s
i love that its listed twice more than it being listed
fading spade
yeh...
maiden tulip
ah yes, being digital only is a great feature /s
People on xbox just use gamepass
And arent gonna care xd
fading spade
People on Windows do also

lana thats the point

Oh my sweet summer child

Do you think valve cares about you
maiden tulip
Besides the fact that you give them money
small comet
the whole overpriced handheld gaming consoles they released to shovel money into their pockets
fading spade
420 euro is overpriced?
small comet
letting people download, install and play games pulled from the storefront
having a plan for if they ever go byebye to let people keep playing their games
truly
the company that doesnt give a single fuck about customers
oh and their horrible refund policy
maiden tulip
having a plan for if they ever go byebye to let people keep playing their games
I'll believe it when i see it
maiden tulip
letting people download, install and play games pulled from the storefront
Can do that on my switch or my playstation if previously bought on psn or eshop
I own delisted games xD
fading spade
or Epic, holy shit...those lot absol;utely provide the best launcher ever!!! with features such as not being able to make a library from a non-empty folder!
or lack of controller support!! who needs controller on PC, we aint console plebs
maiden tulip
or lack of controller support!! who needs controller on PC, we aint console pleb...
The hell you on about
I've used my controller on epic games just fine
fading spade
epic laucher has no controller support
fading spade
I've used my controller on epic games just fine
yeh, cause the game itself supports controller
fading spade
if a game doesnt support controller and you launch it on Epic...good luck, no controller support
maiden tulip
what stupid ass game doesn't have controller support
fading spade
There was a game a few years ago that launched only on Epic and didnt hhave controller support, and the official support told people to add the game as a Steam shortcut to use SteamInput for controller support
small comet
anyway my point was steam is by no means some holy saint. but talking about it as if its on the same level as m$, sony, nintendo or such is just wrong.
fading spade

small comet
steam and valve do a lot of things right
fading spade
yeah, its way better than most like I previously said
maiden tulip
anyway my point was steam is by no means some holy saint. but talking about it a...
They're on the same level
fading spade
no[?
maiden tulip
They just have good pr
proper basin
I’m just here for pikmin
fading spade
not at all on the same level
small comet
yeah the very strong drm that totally has never been worked around at all
small comet
They pushed drm to the pc platform
no
dvds have
with really shitty kernel level drivers
maiden tulip
Still drm
Yall need to realize that corporations aren't your friends
Doesn't matter if its steam sony nintendo whatever
They do not care about you
small comet
i thank you for having read my message that i posted earlier
autumn depot
corporations are my friends and they love me
proper basin
Mansen jumpscare
small comet
also if you wanna walk the path of all corporations arent your friends dont buy games anymore? they are all made by corportations and companies? they all wanna make money?
maiden tulip
i thank you for having read my message that i posted earlier
Steam's exit plan is all theory
Doesn't mean they'll go through with it
small comet
ok so they dont and i just use the existing drm bypasses
steam drm is like a wet papertowel
autumn depot
corpos increase the price of products, because they know, that I've been putting in the work and can afford more expensive stuff now✌🏼
and they respect me
fading spade
We know they dont care about regular ass people
But Steam doesnt care less than others
maiden tulip
ok so they dont and i just use the existing drm bypasses
You plan on backing up all of your games on hard drives? XD
small comet
You plan on backing up all of your games on hard drives? XD
i already have all my games on a disk from steam
whats your point
small comet
also if valve goes they said their drm goes. no one said their download servers stay up
maiden tulip
doesn't matter
Not a commitment
A very vague post from years ago on a forum is not commitment
small comet
i trust a company that isnt publicly traded a ton more than other companies that are publicly traded
maiden tulip
The chances of valve going bankrupt are however slim to none
hardy merlin
Eat games 
maiden tulip
I just don't think it's good to put so much blind trust into them
Just because they have a friendly ceo who gives some good vibes
And seems honest ish
mellow garden
Unless there’s a mass delisting of games from Steam, I don’t see Valve declining any time soon.
quiet vault
i would be happy if steam got bought by microsoft lul
maiden tulip
Do i prefer valve over epic and other companies yeah i like their launcher better and they have family share
But i can't help but feel not at ease about their basically monopoly over the pc gaming industry
hardy merlin
Blind trust no, but trust as much one can trust a company - sure
Over 11 years I have an account they've been almost flawless, very nice and helpful support, quick to fix problems with platform and they are not hesitant to go back on stupid decisions (like paid mods for example)
The only sad thing is that their exchange rate to PLN, so we end up paying way more than price is in EUR or USD 
small comet
But i can't help but feel not at ease about their basically monopoly over the pc...
tell epic to make a not shit store/launcher or microsoft to not only have the dumb xbox app
quiet vault
they probably could
maiden tulip
Also i had an issue with steam once, my account got permabanned accidentally for credit card fraud
small comet
maybe if the rest of the options wouldnt suck wet dog ass i would actually use them
quiet vault
although no judge would allow it
maiden tulip
Lost access to all my games and all my content
For like a week and a half
It kinda changed my perception on steam tbh
quiet vault
maiden tulip
Even if they reinstated my acc and apologized
hardy merlin
they probably could
This is a private company, so if CEO says no, they can't do anything
And Gaben is very much no to that
small comet
a thing that can happen on any store front, that they fixed and apologized for.... changed your view on smth?
quiet vault
This is a private company, so if CEO says no, they can't do anything <:neuroShru...
thats true
small comet
that sounds like what those people say that get the low chance QC straggler product that just arrives broken or whatever
quiet vault
just financially at realistic worth
hardy merlin
Thing is that we don't really know Valve's valuation, but it may as well be in tens or even hundreds of billions right now
Huge server infrastructure, major player for PC distribution, hardware stuff...
maiden tulip
when you lose thousands of $ of game for a period of time because of a mistake in an automated system
It kinda changes the way you view a company
small comet
you didnt though
maiden tulip
I did
maiden tulip
Still took them a week and a half
quiet vault

tens maybe, hundreds never
maiden tulip
And it was not the most pleasant feeling
maiden tulip
I still spent a week and a half stressing over this shit
small comet
now imagine your electricity gets cut off on accident
and it takes a week and half to fix
but it only happens once in your lifetime
does that mean the electricity company is out to get you? or does it mean they just made an honest mistake
maiden tulip
and it takes a week and half to fix
If it took a week and a half to fix i'd like freeze to death
small comet
just saying stuff like this can happen with literally anything
maiden tulip
I'm not saying they're out to get me
small comet
and i think a week and a half is quite reasonable for smth related to CC/Banking
given how blazing fast slow banks respond
maiden tulip
I'm saying it changed my view on it
Made me more suspicious of it
More anxious
Because it made me realized just how much stuff i'd be out of if valve fucks me over
Do you get what i mean?
Like it's easy to imagine things but when you have it like actually in your face
It feels a whole lot different
Puts things into perspective
small comet
idk. i cant say i missed anything much having been thrown into unexpected loss of access to my steam account years ago
given i dont play 99.9% of my games on steam.... id just buy the few games i do play again on a fresh account
i have way more fears of like my email account stopping to exist for example
stuff my actual life relates to and depends on
or my bank account
hardy merlin
Games I love besides on Steam I have on GOG and a backup copy on NAS or just... sailed for them 
Would be sad to lose my Steam account, but not the end of the world honestly 
maiden tulip
Games I love besides on Steam I have on GOG and a backup copy on NAS or just... ...
I started buying games on gog after this happenned to me for that reason
small comet
i honestly just keep the steam copies on a disk
mellow garden
I think the death of Steam would be such a slow decline that we'd already be prepared?
mellow garden
I'm not concerned
Especially when competing market players have poorly spent big money
Microsoft have only just started utilising Battle.net for non-ABK titles. I do wonder how well this is working for them given that I know several WoW players who always buy games on BNET, if possible, due to the WoW token system.
Epic Games have spent tons of money giving away free games when they could've consolidated a few smaller PC publishers and just rug pulled all those franchises from non-EGS store fronts.
quiet vault
battlenet my goat (i kinda hate it)
mellow garden
I personally dislike all the non-Blizzard games on it
They missed the boat on that years ago.
I remember them talking about third party games on BNET back in 2013
Which started and stopped with Destiny 2 (although that was published by Activision at launch)
quiet vault
they gotta give EU some better download servers
mellow garden
I find the servers fast in the UK
Although I can get my full gigabit download speeds on any service in the UK

then 1-2h later its normal good speed
legit might switch to steam bc of that 😭

shit like 80€ a month here for fiber 😭
mellow garden
Openreach-based providers offer a max of 1600/120 currently. Virgin Media offer 2000/2000 in FTTP areas (for something like £90 per month).
There's an ISP in London that offers 5000/5000 for £59 per month... too bad I live in the suburbs and not the city itself.
quiet vault
my network is router to pc 
mellow garden
A lot of UK ISPs are deploying XGS-PON, expect Openreach which are only deploying GPON currently.
There's some really small ISPs for certain towns and villages in more rural parts of the UK that offer 8000/8000 for like £40-50 per month.
Many of those also skip the ISP routers and just give you an ASUS ROG router or some TP-Link (or Netgear) mesh equipment.
I'm using my ISP router 
Does the job and I'm lazy
Plus I'd still need to use it as a cable modem even if I ran my own router
quiet vault
i just got fiber cable into router
fritzbox 
(idk if they popular outside germany)
ubiquiti also has some
mellow garden
Openreach actually use a wall mounted modem/ONT
And not a combo device like Virgin Media
quiet vault
shit cheap af tho
mellow garden
Yes, they have an integrated ONT in FTTP areas as well which is super annoying.
Ubiquiti has some cheaper devices but it's certainly in the prosumer territory
quiet vault
60€ for a fiber wifi router
mellow garden
Same as getting a ROG router or some high-end mesh network from Netgear
fallow bronze
It's not expensive either
mellow garden
It's stuff I'd only buy if I owned my own house/apartment
To properly wall/ceiling mount APs etc
fallow bronze
That's what I did 🙂
mellow garden
Otherwise some Netgear or w/e mesh wifi would be fine.
Tuck a few Ethernet cables along the skirting boards

Got 2 unifi aps, one unifi gateway max, one unifi 16 port switch (which I thought was overkill.. I isn't) and 3 unifi camera

Nice way to avoid all the subscription bullshit

Nope
That's only 3 laps on the first track in the cup
The other 3 tracks have one lap with that long ass straight / sometimes slightly bent track you need to travel along to get to the course before that

The other 3 tracks have one lap with that long ass straight / sometimes slightly...
Not really a problem imo
Game's fun
Also i believe you can do it in versus mode
Lemme grab my switch and check
yep
@fading spade my bad it was versus mode that allows you to do that
just double checked
knew i wasn't crazy

Versus mode is the new grand prix
Ok good

can pick a connected version or not
Basically
The top one is 3 laps of it and the connected is well
connected to whatever other track

If you turn off auto renewal for nso
You can't enable it anymore?
So you have to manually renew and enter your card details every month??
maiden tulip

If you turn off auto renewal for nso
You can't enable...
I mean it will be turned back on when you resubscrive the next time
Like if you turn is off wouldn't you want it to be manually renewable???
fading spade
Yes until you want to enable automatic again sometime in the future potentially
maiden tulip
Basically auto renew off is a cancel button
You use whatever time you have left
Then you resubscribe

Middle east has it physical
LATAM gets physical
But EU and NA get digital
@fading spade

Wtf that's so fucking stupid

Wtf that's so fucking stupid
It's because some of the countries in those regions don't have a regional eshop
/dont accept payment methods from yhere
So its just disabled basically but they can play online if they buy prepaid membership cards
And well they have physical releases only
Those regions also have full games on cartridges to sccomodate that

Not false

Two languages vs. a dozen or more.
tough jay
Usually when europeans talk it's either in french or russian from ecperience.
trim rock
So people who get coddled with everything translated for them so they never have to learn another language
orchid prism
Translated for them?
trim rock
You know how in some countries everything gets fully translated and dubbed
orchid prism
Everything? No. Some things? Yes.
trim rock
Basically all media at least, and I do know from reading the cancer that is Steam forums that at least Russians cry a lot if there's no translation for them
orchid prism
A generation ago when flow TV was more common? Sure.
These days? Not even remotely. Streaming services don't dub most content.
trim rock
When I watch some streaming shows it feels like the dub voice credits are longer than the actual credits
Although really I think the lack of voice chat here is
- poor education and English knowledge (at least in some countries)
- in general people seem more quiet here
- ashamed of their accents
hardy merlin
Also because more often than not you'll meet a 13yo who plays on laptop speaker and mic, and not only you can see them breathing and screaming, but also their parents arguing in the background 
Mute voice chat, done 
tough jay
Will add that dubs outside of kids tv was never the norm here, we always used subs on tv since way before I was born
nimble current
same here, only kids movies/shows gets dubbing
hardy merlin
Here we get dubbing in kids movies and voiceover for other stuff
Though I prefer either native track or with EN subs when dynamic range was made for 5.1 and you can't understand dialogues from TV speakers

english movies are so hard to understand sometimes

you can only do race mode online, which features 3 laps of the first track, then straight lines to drive to the next track of which you only do one lap of the actual track, then repeat 2 more times

there is no way to play all 3 laps of all 4 tracks unless the lobby is using a custom VS mode
hardy merlin
can u tdlr
Problem with tracks having too much straight lines and power-ups being too powerful, so bagging (staying behind to get better power-ups) is currently the best option to win
And there's no Wii Rainbow Road, how dare they 
fading spade
Bagging is OP cause you cvould be in 24th and get a golden mush and bullet and the 23rd person will use their shock so you dodge those with the bullet and pass everyone out then speed way ahead with the golden

I'm literally trying to understand

96% of them are straight lines with barely any turns
Ill return to competitive mariokart cause then i will actually get to play the tracks
Comp servers ban the straight line sections and make it only 4 tracks with 3 laps each like it should be
bleak pike
Ok I get it now
Not literally straight lines
Just boring ways to break between "tracks"
Essentially farming them and getting to a high position once hitting the track
