You think of it as something easy, but I gotta tell you that the business world isn't kind when you're dealing with a huge company situated in North America, the one that is dominating the entertainment industry around the world. And you take things lightly you're going to get told that you're some really ignorant fella who knows nothing about that world. Yeah.```

i got back into aim training after not doing it for year+ consistently and i'm cheating lol

Left side issue fixer and i’m just memeing since i saw a familiar name.

[compact oriole]

I did a bunch worse in everything after starting again this weekend

[sinful cobalt]

Tbh getting consistent enough is already hard

[hardy merlin]

Pfff
It's not
I'm consistently bad

[sinful cobalt]

Tbh my issue with consistency is shows in osu!, as i just jump into a random map without warmup and i just wanna hit everything, and thats works on someday but not most of the time

[hardy merlin]

[orchid prism]

I read that as DIVE INTO YOUR HEADLIGHTS for a second and got real concerned.

[hardy merlin]

[mellow garden]

I was ready to be a day one Concord player

Deluxe edition and everything

[compact oriole]

More like Nintendo knows not to greed with shitty live service titles and does what made them huge in the first place over the last almost 40 years

cough sony

[verbal nymph]

I kinda prefer that, only paying access to their server and game but not bogged down with whatever live service stuff that exist.

[compact oriole]

So does everyone. Which is why Sony is dying while Nintendo is thriving

They had like 12 live service games in the works by their own studios. I think 2 already failed and the rest was cancelled apart from like 2 or 3

Main reason ps has no games

[hot spire]

sony dieing lmao

has more market share than xbox and nintendo combined

[bleak pike]

Ye....

It's like when people say dead game for games that are far from dead lol

[nimble current]

I don't like it = its dead

[compact oriole]

They're doing great that's why all games get ported to pc with no exclusives coming out and they started trading games with xbox

Got a 900 bucks console with no new games to play

What a time to be a PS5 user

[nimble current]

nintendo isn't spending 400 millions on triple A slop, sony still thinks games has to cost that much so they're opening up more revenue streams

[compact oriole]

Tho I guess since PS5 pro release they did get a couple games finally

[mellow garden]

Sony have an effective monopoly on the traditional home console and there's 10s of million of people that aren't moving on from that form factor any time soon.

[nimble current]

nintendo just has the privilege of having a cucked audience that buys any crap they put out

[compact oriole]

Sony did billions of dollars worth of miscalculation. Obv theyre not actually about to close shop but they've had to compromise on their walled of garden

[mellow garden]

Sony won that aspect of the console war with the PS4 so can coast on not pushing with tons of exclusives. They could start putting all their games on PC day and date, wouldn't stop consoles from being popular.

[compact oriole]

Concord was a giga failure, marathon is gonna be another failure 100% and people are already shitting in their zoomed ass payday

[iron oak]

Even pokemon games aren’t making changes since there’s been complaints

Nintendo absolutely listens and innovates with their games even though they are so protective of the IP

[compact oriole]

Their so games are timeless and can be played by anyone

Kids love it and people who grew up with them also do

[nimble current]

I liked some of their games as a kid but they haven't felt appealing since I was like 15

[compact oriole]

Kinda same

But I get why their stuff is so popular

[nimble current]

I honestly don't, not among adult audiences anyway

[compact oriole]

I bought a switch for pkmn sword and regretted it. I thought it was terrible

[compact oriole]

Same with these Disney adults for me

Smash is still goated tho

I never use the switch but it's nice to have one for some fun with friends

[nimble current]

playing smash bros on a mates N64 back in like 2002 is probably the last time I've properly enjoyed a nintendo game

[compact oriole]

Smash is the only "fighting" game I enjoyed

Just can't get into the actual fighters like SF6, Tekken etc

[mellow garden]

I've been enjoying Mario Kart World and Super Mario Party Jamboree

[nimble current]

had some fun with mates getting baked and having tekken 3 tournaments way back but other than that its not really a genre I gravitate towards

[proper basin]

Dragon ball fighterz is fun

Same for strive

[maiden tulip]

literally not the price of a ps5 lol

[nimble current]

played some street fighter 2 turbo was pretty fun playing it in the 90s but I kinda sucked at it

[maiden tulip]

You can get a ps for 512cad... (370usd) brand new

[nimble current]

can't even recall what system I played on

[proper basin]

If theres one thing i know im good at with fighting games, its mashing on wake-up

[maiden tulip]

And considering you get a whole ass machine

It's a better deal than pc gaming

Make me a pc for 512cad/370usd you'll have a hard time

So saying the ps5 is dead is moronic

Is it boring that it doesn't have exclusives? Yeah but i'm also glad i can play them on pc lol

[nimble current]

its only boring if you're a console fanboy which in itself is tragic

[outer pollen]

But......

Did RileyCS_ cheat or not

[nimble current]

for everyone else its fucking finally the stupid exclusivity shit is over

[outer pollen]

[compact oriole]

PS5 pro is 800€

[maiden tulip]

you don't need a ps5 pro tho

Literally the slim exists

[compact oriole]

No but my point was launching a 800€ console with no games

[nimble current]

yeah you do, the old one literally worthless now

[compact oriole]

They launched that thing and only had old games everyone who was interested already played

Concord had just freshly failed

[maiden tulip]

Ps5 pro is a hard sell at 962cad there's not enough improvements to justify almost 3x the price

But the ps5 slim is an absolute bargain

[nimble current]

I think people need to get used to not having a banquet of fresh new exclusives buying a console now

[maiden tulip]

If soneone just wants to play games and have fun

[nimble current]

and just be happy there's a lot to play already

[maiden tulip]

Most people just buy 1-2 games a year

They buy the yearly cod and maybe 1 extra game

Or play free 2 play stuff

[nimble current]

yeah game studios kinda have to adapt to the market

people don't buy or hop on new games as much as they used to, games are so good and deep now they often last waaay longer than what used to be the case

[maiden tulip]

Like the way we enjoy games with ohhhh exclusives and lets buy multiple games a year

Most people don't do that

[nimble current]

they can just keep adding new content to existing games, that wasn't feasible a few gens back

[maiden tulip]

Only company who'll still have exclusives will be nintendo xD

[mellow garden]

Me when WoW is 20+ years old and still dominating the MMO market

Or XIV being over a decade since ARR and still going strong as well

Imagine trying to enter that market

[compact oriole]

Only true for live service. People will still buy good single player experiences

[maiden tulip]

Which every pc gamer i knew was whining the switch had no games on launch when the thing launched with fucking mario kart

One of the most universally loved games out there

[nimble current]

yeah but then people also expect single player experiences like gta/rdr2 etc these days

[outer pollen]

WoW is ugly though

[maiden tulip]

Then dk bananza a month after, kirby dlc this month

[outer pollen]

will you be on the right side of history Dashi?

[maiden tulip]

Pokemon in 2 months

[nimble current]

games that cost a ton of time and money to make, most devs don't want to take the plunge anymore with what's at stake

[maiden tulip]

Kirby air riders in 3 months

[compact oriole]

That why e33 or hollow knight are giga popular?

[maiden tulip]

I'll say gamepass helped e33 tremendously

[compact oriole]

Ppl will buy good games and not buy that AAA trash we've been largely getting in the past 2 years

[maiden tulip]

Hollow knight was also on gamepass

[compact oriole]

They had actual sales in the million not "players" like Ubisoft advertised

[compact oriole]

HK is 2017. There was no pass back then

[nimble current]

15 mil copies sold allegedly which isn't bad at all to be fair

[maiden tulip]

Pretty sure there was

Gamepass launched in 2017 lol

[compact oriole]

Wasn't and HK wasn't in the pass till much later after it's inception

[nimble current]

but compare with rdr2 with an estimated 77 million, and am guessing gta5 is like twice

[maiden tulip]

HK is also a 10$ game

[nimble current]

you might hit a homerun but then you might also make an avowed or something

[maiden tulip]

It was a fun affordable 2d game

[nimble current]

or dragon age failguard

[maiden tulip]

If it had bern priced higher it would have failed

Look at the ubisoft price of persia 2d game

Great metroidvania

Franchise w nostalgia for a lot of people

Sold for like 40cad and failed

People struggle to pay more then 10-20$ for a 2d game

[outer pollen]

Gamepass is weird

[nimble current]

I found wow too ugly already in 2004

[sudden prawn]

Man there have been a lot of ddos attacks on osrs servers recently

[outer pollen]

@narrow junco idk how people like this slot system

PoE 2 perfected the skill system

[narrow junco]

Oh they dont

[outer pollen]

Ooooh ok I legit thought people liked it lol

Oh, only getting the trash treatment

[compact oriole]

https://i.imgur.com/7s3dzNo.png

kek, brought this up barely 2 hours ago

ye fail "early and cheaply". TIL losing billions is cheap

idk. is 8 years of wasting a 200 head studio and 400mil+ a rounding error?

and the other 8 games they cancelled mid development

and marathon that is no doubt going to either fail or be cancelled and fairgame$ which is going to fail as well

they used their top inhouse studios to waste years of dev time on BS

cancelled as well?

[fallow bronze]

Yes. It's a lot of money to us, but to them it's an investment that might potentially gain loads of money.

[compact oriole]

ye but it wont lol. they just straight up lost money and dev time

cz some idiot a couple years ago went: yo lets make 12 live service games with our strong inhouse studios

ye cz sony makes everything. doesnt mean they have billions to waste. and clearly they dont since they left their walled of garden completely and were so desperate they started sharing games with xbox

ye but they made 12 and all of em failed

one was shutdown after 2 weeks and was planned a whole franchise around it like the MCU

well they cancelled all of em. so none does

[vapid lintel]

Your first loss is your best loss

[verbal nymph]

yesh, if sony learns and make more good singleplayer, it'll be nice

[compact oriole]

billions of $ to learn that noone wants to play games with shitty character design

coulda given them that info for free

[hot spire]

i mean the whole ass game was bad

[compact oriole]

ye but noone knows that cz they already stopped caring after seeing the characters lol

mass marketable implies that people would like it or be interested

it was just a bunch of weirdos making the game for themselves, not for users

[hot spire]

with the concept, not the actual product

[verbal nymph]

They can lit just look at Gacha game in Sony Japan HQ and know what people want lmao

[hot spire]

but its a huge market

which is why you gotta use them

they removed the ass

[compact oriole]

yo, imagine that when youre trying to sell to men, you should be trying to appeal to them. foreign concept, i know

[hot spire]

hey girls like hot chicks too

[compact oriole]

ye but i meant generally. not only with good looking women in games

[compact oriole]

whatd they do?

did they stop that one emulator that was making huge strides to play bloodborne?

[sinful cobalt]

tbh even when i played Elden Ring i still stick to 60FPS

[compact oriole]

new bf weeklies btw

[hot spire]

bloodborne runs in shad

[compact oriole]

ye i couldnt remember the name. shadps4 had the game running really well last i checked 6 months ago

[hot spire]

pscx4 has ran it for years now

but even shad has it now

derp i mean fpps4

[compact oriole]

anyone know why this shittyass game doesnt let me connect to portal servers?

[hot spire]

fpps4 is slow as balls though so idk if i count it as running

[hot spire]

its a shit game

[outer pollen]

They made it playable

Then like 3 mods and it was 100% playable

[compact oriole]

cant join a fucking server even after restarting game. guess im not gonna afk xp farm

[outer pollen]

Sometimes it puts you in a queue

[compact oriole]

i load into the server screen and then it puts me back into the menu

Just let me play the game

😭😭😭

[sinful cobalt]

no

[orchid prism]

You don't want to play the game without shaders I assure you.

[cold anvil]

Will it be a bright pink mess?

had this happen during the bf6 beta

what words did you just spew

sounds like a load of nonsense

don't dilly dally with me

[outer pollen]

[cold anvil]

I see…

I understand.

[hollow zephyr]

Better deal with one slowdown now rather than many smaller slowdowns while you play the game

Interesting

[cold anvil]

Im super excited for mgs3 delta in a couple of days

[compact oriole]

im super excited for silksong in in a couple of days

[proper basin]

Silksong too

[compact oriole]

itll be even better, im sure

[cold anvil]

Silk song more like silk.. butt….
I’ll get around to playing hollow knight and silksong because I’ll have them in my steam family… (my friend is a fan)

Im mostly waiting for MGS3 Delta and Silent Hill F this year

And a couple of indi games I wishlisted

[compact oriole]

better to keep hk and silksong for last. theyre so good you wont be able to enjoy most other games after

[outer pollen]

Honestly I don't think it'll be the same level as Hollow Knight

But I do hope they prove me wrong

[compact oriole]

HEATHEN

[outer pollen]

[cold anvil]

Oh shoot

[compact oriole]

i think quality of the game will be about the same but mobility seems higher so ill enjoy it more

[cold anvil]

I screamed in terror, but it was expected

93gb

[trim rock]

And then you gonna spend hours decrypting that shit

[cold anvil]

its only a 14 min download it's all good

issue is I'm gonna have to wait until release...

[compact oriole]

whens release

80 BUCKS?????

[cold anvil]

aug 28

[compact oriole]

for an old game?

brother..

and they sell dlc skins ontop

[trim rock]

Yeah but now it has pretty graphics

[hardy merlin]

From the same studio that made Oblivion Remastered
Waste of money

[outer pollen]

I want Volume 2 for the metal gear collection already

[trim rock]

And controls suitable for the modern generation

[outer pollen]

I wanna replay Guns of the Patriots

[compact oriole]

is this the next game running on 2 engines at the same time and running like garbage?

[trim rock]

Yeah that game needs to be freed from the PS3.. well I guess emulation is pretty close

[hardy merlin]

Yeah, it will be

Also - why preorder if the game downloads in 14 minutes?

[compact oriole]

.. really? i was just kidding

[outer pollen]

You could play it on the volume 1 collection

[trim rock]

Sucks though that modern controllers don't do the analog buttons anymore so you can't have the original controls..

[outer pollen]

[cold anvil]

I already had the game pre ordered. I'm just now getting the option to pre load

[hardy merlin]

I was not
They are doing remasters and remakes en masse

[compact oriole]

ye but about the 2 engine "solution"

[outer pollen]

Switch 2 users gonna be eating good!

[hardy merlin]

Yeah, but still - why preorder, it's not like it's gonna run out or something

[compact oriole]

if youre gonna get it day1 anyway, may as well preorder

[trim rock]

Play ASAP

[cold anvil]

yeah basically

[trim rock]

Although if you want to do that you should just be a content creator, they seem to have given seemingly almost every content creator early access

[compact oriole]

sadly enough im prolly gonna preorder bf6 as soon as the preload goes life

assuming the keysite i trust has keys again.. they sold out

[cold anvil]

the whole game is literally on youtube XD

[trim rock]

Yeah and then the PLEBS have to pay full price and can't even play it yet

[cold anvil]

might as well release it now 🙄

[outer pollen]

Did you play the original?

[cold anvil]

no not at all

[outer pollen]

[cold anvil]

thought the remake could be a gateway into Metal Gear

[rotund adder]

It wont be

[outer pollen]

Are they changing the story for snake eater?

[cold anvil]

no, from what I hear they played it very safe

[rotund adder]

To understand metal gear you need few hour video to understand plot

[grizzled quarry]

Im thinking I pre order next paycheck

Don't know if I wanna go for the phantom edition or not though

[cold anvil]

would playing the video be fed into my mind as I sleep?

[outer pollen]

Are you gonna play them in chronological order?

[cold anvil]

yeah most likely

[outer pollen]

[cold anvil]

not sure about 4 tho... I dooooo have a ps3...

[outer pollen]

MGS3, MGS Peace Walker, Ground Zeros, Phantom Pain, MG1, MG2, MGS1, MGS2, MGS4, Revengance

[rotund adder]

Well it would require playing ps1 games, ps2 games also psp fames ps3 gsmes and mgsv and mgs revengwnce

[outer pollen]

Just wait for Volume 2

[outer pollen]

The master collection volume 1 has been out

All they would need to emulate is peace walker

Portable Ops and Plus if they wanted to for the PSP as well

I wish I could experience Metal Gear for the first time again you're lucky

[rotund adder]

Well to understand destiny you would need atleast 100hrs of lore videos

Metal gear has always been on the back of my mind like I knew it existed I just never showed any interest of wanting to know more

@cold anvil well it is 5hrs

[outer pollen]

Not trying to overhype it, but you'll see how hard Kojima fell off

@cold anvil dont even try getting into destiny 2 lore

It takes 100hrs to understand basics

Power grinding in the new system is more tedious than ever, only nice thing i like are being able to overcap stats

And the portal is unnecessary, confusing and not thought out well

[rotund adder]

Hes too far gone. Hes beyond saving

[rotund adder]

So they make game even worse for f2ps?

Perfect

Both for f2p and vets

Its just terribly designed

[teal sandal]

is .25 1600 too high for val?

[grizzled quarry]

its far faster than 90% of val players

its 32cm so its fine

higher cm is easier tho

[cold anvil]

dude I play .4 1600

dont worry about your sens

learn with what you know

Im ass at the game ngl, but not because of my sens 😭

I got too greedy in this clip here

[zealous abyss]

Yellow or orange superhero skin bro

[grizzled quarry]

having a high ass sens definitely makes it harder

lower sens gives you way more room for error thats why tons of val players cope on 80-100+cm

[cold anvil]

High sens feels so much more satisfying imo, but the point is dude's sens is perfectly fine

.4 is for sure my limit

I could go lower but I like to keep my sens as consistent as possible through out all the games I play

[grizzled quarry]

i do not like doing this

[sinful cobalt]

I mean most horse girls are boy horses in real life

[compact oriole]

What does that mean

[verbal nymph]

When horse got isekai, they turn into girls. got it

[sinful cobalt]

They feminized male horses into anime girl characters

[compact oriole]

[compact oriole]

How so? Irl horse races are done with male horses?

Are you saying all men that play this game are actually gay?

I knew it

[sinful cobalt]

Yes but all of the horse girls in umamusume are females

[compact oriole]

So they claim

[sinful cobalt]

Horses are femboys

https://youtu.be/wfgADXepjRw?si=8igiL7AZaNjcDkM4

[compact oriole]

Ppl making a horse girl gacha even weirder than it already is

[sinful cobalt]

No, its Japan that is weird

[compact oriole]

True

But it's giga successful, so it's not just them

[clear osprey]

@compact oriole I've recorded a run for every vt novice benchmark for you

I lowkey just got home and 1 take'd most of them so sorry if its a little choppy hehe

which ones do you wanna see?

[compact oriole]

the switch and click ones mostly

I'll try to do them every day once or twice and then redo the benchmark by weekend to see the improvement in the rank system

[outer pollen]

Didn't know there was controversy with Silksong. About them not sending out codes early for people to review the game

[compact oriole]

"controversy"

[outer pollen]

https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/1mxsmlo/they_owe_you_nothing_and_they_owe_reviewers_even/

[hardy merlin]

afaik it was a choice and not controversy
And yeah, it would be unfair if game "journalists" would get copies earlier than fans who backed the game years ago

[outer pollen]

If the game sucks after not letting reviewers, review. I feel like they'd be dead as a company

[compact oriole]

We boutta find out, won't we

[outer pollen]

I'm scared

[hardy merlin]

They won't be dead

[orchid prism]

It is a controversial choice - And normally one I'd rant about on end.

[compact oriole]

I think their reasoning is based

[vapid lintel]

Tell me more, Mansen

[hardy merlin]

That backers get their copy earlier than reviewers?

[compact oriole]

100%. Won't leak anything but they also did(NT) do other shit how they'd have liked CZ of it

[outer pollen]

I care now

[orchid prism]

I trust reviewers to be tight lipped about spoilers more than customers.
Not having reviews ready for public release is considered suspicious and scummy - And normally I'd rant about it - but it's Silksong. I doubt there's any fire where there's smoke in this specific case.

[compact oriole]

7 years in the making. I'd be surprised if it wasn't another banger

People backed this game 11 years ago. Giving it to journalists but not backers would be a dickmove

Or rather they backed HK and a goal was a hornet centered explanation or smth

Expansion

[outer pollen]

2 hour dlc

Before it got too big

[hardy merlin]

Game reviewers don't mean nothing nowadays
All they do is try to push their agenda and don't even focus on games anymore
Praise popular releases, don't care about niche games
Steam user score is more valuable than reviews from IGN or whatever
Good choice from their side

[compact oriole]

True

[vapid lintel]

Look no further than the excellent scores achieved but utter dogshit AAA games lately

[compact oriole]

Apart from if games run well, pro reviews are worthless AF. And even that often doesn't even get reviewed and you're surprised that new game runs like ass on a 5090

[vapid lintel]

Yes

I'm old, I know >_>

[hardy merlin]

Oh yeah, review from Hardware Unboxed or similar how well the game works would be actually useful

[orchid prism]

You're reading the wrong reviews then imo.

[hardy merlin]

But even with review copies, backers should get their copies even earlier than reviewers

[orchid prism]

Should receive them at the same time - Cause reviewers are beholden to release contracts.

You can trust them to hold their tongue till the embargo ends. Not with customers.

[hardy merlin]

It's not about contracts or spoilers or embargo or whatever
It's about how fans who decided to back the game 11 years ago should be prioritized

People who care should be prioritized

[orchid prism]

Having access at the same time is not being downprioritized.

As someone who did plenty of game reviews - You wish reviewers had 20 hours to play a game through. We don't get to enjoy the games - We have to take notes, we have to replay sections over and over.

[vapid lintel]

Not having day 1 reviews is a disservice to future fans

[hardy merlin]

In my opinion is
Why fans who cared about the game for a long time, backed devs financially and were keeping community alive should even be on equal ground as reviewers who don't care about the game, will just play through it, and put it back on the shelf?

[outer pollen]

It's all about being at the right place at the right time. If we're talking about a founders stance

[vapid lintel]

Because the very reason you highlighted - the reviewer is not playing it to enjoy it, the reviewer is playing it to provide a service to the game developers and the fans should welcome that

[nimble current]

the right place in the wrong man can make all the difference in the world

[hardy merlin]

What if game developers don't want that service?

[vapid lintel]

Then they don't give out review copies

[outer pollen]

Hype helps though just look at Death Stranding

[orchid prism]

Of course they do.

[outer pollen]

Psy Op people into thinking a game is good

[vapid lintel]

Because the system is rife with slop and garbage. A well curated breath of just reviewers does have value

Sure

[hardy merlin]

They serve no purpose at all

[orchid prism]

You disagree with their take?

[vapid lintel]

"Best CoD in many years" wow that bar is low

[hardy merlin]

Yeah? Any AAA game gets 9 or 10/10 nowadays

[orchid prism]

Not to mention FPS games with campaigns in general. Not a lot of those left...

"Scores" don't exist in a vacuum. And they don't always mean as lot as actually reading the review and taking note of any specific points of praise or criticism.

[mellow garden]

I dislike the multiplayer element in Call of Duty but the campaigns are usually pretty good. If a little short though.

[vapid lintel]

Reviews along with gameplay footage of Split Fiction impacted my decision to buy it and I am thankful for that

I'd name drop some game that reviews encouraged me to not buy it, but that data gets stored in my RAM and has long since been deleted

[hardy merlin]

Review: "yeah, it's buggy as hell, story is boring, some mechanics are questionable"
Score : 9/10

[vapid lintel]

A problem with the reviewer, not the idea of reviews...

[orchid prism]

The in-depth reviews I read of Civ VII saved me an early purchase. There were/are issues that they have yet to address satisfactory, so I haven't put down money - yet.

[vapid lintel]

The factory must expand

Oh sorry wrong game

[hardy merlin]

But problem with reviewers is with like 95% of reviews
Huge outlets get random guy to review the game as fast as possible* to be put on first page of Google to get that sweet ad money

[orchid prism]

So filter those out.

That goes for any kind of news outlet 😛

[autumn depot]

Triple A games are automatically good because they are made by professionals

[hardy merlin]

So filter out 95% of reviews
So at this point - why reviews even matter? Why give copies to reviewers?

[vapid lintel]

I fail to see how this matters... The internet is stuffed full of low quality low effort garbage. This is not unique to game reviews, it's literally every medium about everything at all times always.
Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater

[hardy merlin]

child goes yeet

[vapid lintel]

I filter out 95% of what gets posted in our #🐸│memes channel, doesn't mean I don't enjoy the occassional hehe

[rotund adder]

Well you give copies to reviewers that would shill for your game even if it was trash

[orchid prism]

You can say that about literally any product.

I wake up basically every day to another "Wooting 80HE killer" review video that's entirely based on vibes and "feel", and doesn't even try to do any objective measurement comparisons or try to understand the tech 😄

[vapid lintel]

Anyway, it do be lunch time. Good chat, toodles

[compact oriole]

That too. If you shit on the product you get early you possibly lose access to future products

[hardy merlin]

Yeah, me too, am hungy

[rotund adder]

Actually there wasnt video like that in three weeks

[orchid prism]

There's shitting on - And then there's constructive criticism. I've given out plenty of 6s and 7s without any repercussions. I actually bothered to explain why in depth, and potential improvements.

[clear osprey]

I gotchu

[hardy merlin]

Mansen
You have something that most reviewers don't
A brain and ability to formulate constructive criticism

[orchid prism]

And again - Filter out shitty reviewers

[clear osprey]

EddieTS

[compact oriole]

Sure but if you get a bad product that's actually 5 or worse, many companies won't appreciate you being that honest. Most people aren't reasonable and if you're a huge creator, reviews are supposed to be advertising

But they turned Battlefield into Cod. So where does one fleet to now.

[vapid lintel]

Life on the Rim is pretty nice these days

[compact oriole]

Every time a new bf comes out everyone is crying that it's cod now

But somehow they all play very similarly

Bf2042 is way closer to cod than any other entry

Bf6 even has the lowest MS. I guess the movement shit that they're patching by release made it cod like tho

[hardy merlin]

I wanna play BFV again
COD doesn't have bomb on a stick you can rush tanks with

you should do openmw instead

[cold anvil]

what a huh now?

[hot spire]

open source engine remake for morrowind

[cold anvil]

ohhh

[hot spire]

the game before obivion

[cold anvil]

yeah I know what morrowind is I just didnt know what openmw was and what I was supposed to guess what that meant

[cyan pewter]

a c6 (6 dupes of a character) 5 star in genshin is about ~2000+ usd
this doesnt include the weapons

[hot spire]

soon openmw will run obivion and fallout 3/nv

[cold anvil]

I love NV

[hot spire]

but its really good

[outer pollen]

I dropped 1K back when Genshin launched and dropped the fucking game like a month later

[cold anvil]

WHAT

[cyan pewter]

oh yeah

[outer pollen]

not my proudest moment

[cyan pewter]

@outer pollen is a gacha gooner he spends too much on gacha

[cold anvil]

I barely spent like 3 hours on genshin before realising how repetitive and boring it was

[outer pollen]

I stopped though

I broke my shackles

[cold anvil]

I'm glad rehab worked for you

[outer pollen]

Literally me

[cold anvil]

I think the last thing I ever did on oblivion remaster was download an nsfw mod

[cold anvil]

I will respectfully listen to this whole song

[cyan pewter]

@outer pollen did you see the concept skin they showed in the live stream

https://tenor.com/view/cat-funny-cat-cat-funny-cat-flashbang-flashbang-gif-8479999063609699416

[outer pollen]

No for what

[cyan pewter]

for duet

[outer pollen]

Oh yeah! I saw that she looks cool

Don't forget the new Destiny Gacha comes out on the 28th as well

[cyan pewter]

the what

[outer pollen]

Destiny Rising

https://tenor.com/view/destiny-destiny-rising-hop-on-void-waifu-gif-13335206237105772897

[cyan pewter]

i dont play destiny

im also very 50/50 on warframe

i dont like grinding for crafting materials and gun mods

at least for duet, from what i watched its just a direct upgrade path

[outer pollen]

It has potential

From the closed beta I played

[placid grail]

destiny is cooked they need to shut it down for good i fear

[outer pollen]

Destiny Rising is allowed to do anything with the characters since it's a separate timeline so we might see cool stuff

Zoom in on the petals

[cyan pewter]

tree

pink froggos

[compact oriole]

they scared of bf6 now? also "ye all the money you spent will stay in the old game, so youre more inclined to spend again"

[small comet]

more like inclined to not switch

[compact oriole]

seeing as cod has been the best selling game almost every year for 15 years in a row in the US, i dont think that matters

[cursive swallow]

Caliban Prime is out today! (Warframe lol)

[compact oriole]

people aint gonna stay on the old dead game when the new hotness comes out that everyone is playing

[trim rock]

We'll see, about that..

[compact oriole]

the fomo of staying relevant is too high with the types of people that buy cod in the first place

which is mostly youngens

[grizzled quarry]

This been the case for all their mp games since 2019

Warzone is the only place to use all the skins you spent money on

[compact oriole]

ye but they specifically call it out here. which im linking to bf6 viral success

im not sure any skin ever carried over between cods

[grizzled quarry]

I think mw2 to mw3 did actually

Because you could use mw2 guns in mw3 mp, but they sucked ass

(For the most part there was a couple outliers)

I remember using the doom shotgun from mw2 on mw3

[rotund adder]

I don't think so this is going to safe call of duty

[grizzled quarry]

Unlikely

[compact oriole]

safe from what.. again theyve literally been best selling game in the US for 15 years with 2-3 exceptions

[grizzled quarry]

They just need to copy paste mw2019

[compact oriole]

and thats without warzone success

[compact oriole]

wdym. havent they been doing that since 2019?

[grizzled quarry]

Mw2019 was the last good cod tho

[rotund adder]

I already saw people crying in yt comments about not getting bo6 skins in bo7

[compact oriole]

i agree

[rotund adder]

@grizzled quarry i tried it in open beta. It was fine

[grizzled quarry]

Copy paste mw2019 and just fix its issues

Cod could come back from the downhill if they did that

But they prob won't

[rotund adder]

Mw2019 was basicly like ww2 in feel

[compact oriole]

cod wont change until it actually dies. and this skin response is just cz everyone on the web has been memeing about their clown skins

[grizzled quarry]

Yeah

The skins aren't the biggest issue at hand its just an easy one to laugh at

[compact oriole]

people on reddit be crying but then they see the billions they make on copy pasting the same game with new maps and selling it for 80$ every single year

[rotund adder]

@grizzled quarry i dont think so they have modern warfare 3 in freezer

[compact oriole]

i wouldnt be surprised if theyve been using the exact same weaposn every year as well but they put other skins on them and people dont notice

[grizzled quarry]

Yeah but its unlikely itll be like mw2019

That game felt like no other cod ever has gunplay/movement wise

Everything felt so fluent

[rotund adder]

Well if they want any profit. They have to release mw3 remaster

[compact oriole]

black ops cold war was literally a 1 to 1 with health bars and a slightly higher ttk

[grizzled quarry]

Nah the guns felt like shit

It felt way different

[rotund adder]

@grizzled quarry I would say it felt like cod ww2 in feel in open beta

[compact oriole]

idk felt identical to me

[grizzled quarry]

Felt way worse to me and all my buddies

The animations and visual recoil were just so off feeling

And the sounds didnt make the guns feel like they had the same oomph

[compact oriole]

well i only played some of the beta

[small comet]

it felt very feeling to me

[compact oriole]

ive never been a fan of the black ops games

[grizzled quarry]

I played cold war until season 3

[compact oriole]

but apparently mw is dead until they make the next reboot

[grizzled quarry]

Was just kd farming on snd

[small comet]

i mean i did like BO 1 and 2

good stories imo

[grizzled quarry]

And nuke grinding on snipers only

[small comet]

6 had a meh story

[compact oriole]

most of the time i didnt like the BO settings they chose

but also i only played mp

[grizzled quarry]

I miss mw2019 snd so much

[small comet]

twas a good story

[grizzled quarry]

Absolute peak for snd on cod imo

Respawn on 2019 was mid asf from the maps, but in snd the maps were amazing

[compact oriole]

in cod4 promod snd was all i played. these days i dont enjoy the mode at all anymore

im becoming old

[grizzled quarry]

Snd still my favorite game mode

[compact oriole]

maybe thats why i liked bf6 so much

[grizzled quarry]

Bf6 adding snd would be insane

Id play the shit out of that

[small comet]

i see the cod story gamers are dead and its a pure mp game

[grizzled quarry]

Yeah

The stories have kinda sucked ass in the newer games

[small comet]

depends on what we compare to... if its cod 1 and 2 definitely

[grizzled quarry]

I wanna replay bo2 story

[small comet]

do it

[rotund adder]

@grizzled quarry you know, atleast you showed up for 1v1.

[compact oriole]

lol

[grizzled quarry]

Dawg you were the one we all thought would dodge

😭

[small comet]

not this again

[compact oriole]

[grizzled quarry]

Fr why we bringing this up all of a sudden

[rotund adder]

Takuro didnt want even 1v1 me on proper set date

[compact oriole]

i mean..

bro would probably win with his offhand

[grizzled quarry]

I wish you werent polish so we could play against each other with less ping diff

So there wasnt any cope..

[small comet]

thered still be dw

[rotund adder]

Just say we draw

[small comet]

the blame just shifts

[grizzled quarry]

Yes but not 250ms 😭

Like if he was closer to Canada we could've did east coast servers for very similar ping diff

[small comet]

yeah but then the mouse is shit, keyboard is shit, monitor is shit, pc didnt run good

team mate sucks

[rotund adder]

You also had to add eye to hand reaction speed

[grizzled quarry]

Yeah probably but it wouldn't come from my end

[small comet]

i mean idk why it was brought up out of nowhere when we all accepted it as a done topic

[rotund adder]

I cant complain because everything i have is high end

[rotund adder]

We are not talking about cheater

[compact oriole]

i think he might just be ragebaiting for fun

[small comet]

the only rage is that he couldnt easily win against someone with high ping

[grizzled quarry]

As do I, even with a physical disability

[rotund adder]

He got me offguard few times

[small comet]

ah ofc

and so the blame shifts

[grizzled quarry]

Not this again...

[rotund adder]

Like four times

[small comet]

ok so we dont count those or what?

[compact oriole]

ye ok but even if, thats still part of skill lol

[grizzled quarry]

Bro didnt use a single smoke on ct side nuke on wingman and just ran out
