[cold anvil]

you mow down BOW's with it

I was using it on my current playthrough

dont have inf ammo tho

[buoyant osprey]

Freya's Needle?

[cold anvil]

I got most of the achievements now

yeah

[buoyant osprey]

Okay I bought it

[cold anvil]

idk how it fairs late game but early game it's good

it like an in between of both of the pistols you get as grace in terms of damage

and it shoots quickly

lemme see if I got a clip hold on

@buoyant osprey

[buoyant osprey]

Though the Requiem got most of his health down already

[cold anvil]

yeah Ik its more of a demonstration of how fast it shoots

still takes like 5-6 bullets to take out a zombie

[outer pollen]

Woaw

[verbal nymph]

Damn, BD3

This reminds me, I should get Crimson Desert

[nimble current]

marathon

[plain oyster]

I like marathon gonna give it a good go on release

[ivory dune]

@narrow junco I heard its an ele hit league? :p

[narrow junco]

Nah they decided to have it not work after all

So you wont be doing a krillion dps for free

[ivory dune]

[scarlet marlin]

I just finished RE9 last night (on standard-classic mode)

[sinful cobalt]

How was the game

[scarlet marlin]

lovely

mightgo back in now the higher difficulty is unlocked

[sinful cobalt]

I need to play the older RE games

And i do have to get a few more

[outer pollen]

What did you think of Grace

[tough jay]

Hmm pretty much close to same.
Only ever Finished 4 (wii version of the original) and played a bit of 5 which was not a great game.

[quiet vault]

interesting

how do u cheat in rocket league

[scarlet marlin]

I didnt mind her as a character. Slight spoiler warning ||Like I understand that she's just a desk FBI agent so not really used to go into the field etc. but at some point I thought 'ok Grace, u need to lock in now". Wouldve been nice if you could at least stab zombies from the back with a normal knife. ||

[compact oriole]

What kinda website is this. How is ow almost nothing but RL is 2nd spot

[compact oriole]

Seems like you have the worthwhile ones already

[outer pollen]

Not even Moira was like her in Resident Evil Revelations 2

Like come on and girlboss

[scarlet marlin]

cant talk about her cause I havent played it. But she does get a nice collection of items that she can craft and fight with. Didnt really struggle with that

[white hamlet]

Pretty intersting that cs is so low on the table

Clicking the source on the site sends you to some completely unrelated document about deepfake froud

[compact oriole]

I don't understand where they got this data from

[small comet]

out the be-hind

[quiet vault]

https://ahrefs.com

[white hamlet]

So they just look up searches and then take the amount of players from steam charts?

[small comet]

see i was right

pulled out the butt

[compact oriole]

Ye, seems stupid

[buoyant osprey]

They are still the best RE games imo

[sinful cobalt]

So im not really missing any re games ?

[compact oriole]

Nah

All the good ones are in that pic

[buoyant osprey]

That's the opposite of what I'm saying

1 (both the original and remake are excellent)
2 original
3 original
Code: Veronica

That's where the series peaked

Only one of them is on Steam

[compact oriole]

Wouldn't touch the originals these days. Seems more like nostalgia bait for ppl who played it back then

[buoyant osprey]

It's not

2 and especially 3 easily mog the remakes imo

[outer pollen]

I asked Ai

[compact oriole]

Think for most new players the remakes are they easy to go. Also they already own em, so why have em buy the other version

[white hamlet]

Clicking the link gets you to this spreadsheet lmao

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1y2-xlH0z5oyRVU0Lx9F0CQUkYBbyS7YsbWwbTwgSVdE/edit?gid=906959336#gid=906959336

These numbers can't be right

[outer pollen]

How can you appreciate a series if you don’t respect the building blocks it was built on?

[quiet vault]

what are these numbers 😭

[buoyant osprey]

People always default to the nostalgia meme but I played my first RE in 2021 (original RE1) then followed by original 2 then original 3 and now I have played almost every RE

Also introduced a friend to RE this late last year through the original games and she also really liked them

It's not unc nostalgia or that

People are so dismissive of older games even when they are better

[white hamlet]

No effort whatsoever, 17k players on rocket league. Which they only took steam numbers from even though it hasn't been on steam for years

[outer pollen]

I know some people hate the tank contrls

Watching my friend play 0 was a treat for sure lmao

[compact oriole]

No. 1 reason I wouldn't ever recommend them

[outer pollen]

Yeah watching my friend do the Bat Boss in RE0 was interesting

[compact oriole]

I'm sure some like em and it's probably a vibe but I think most would be turned off

But who knows

[buoyant osprey]

@cold anvil you weren't joking. Even on highest difficulty the Freya gun annihilites lickers :O

[cold anvil]

Yeah the firerate absolutely shreds enemies, it’s just the ammo you gotta worry about

But you already got inf ammo so it doesn’t matter much does it

[buoyant osprey]

Yeah infinite ammo so it absolutely destroys

Was worried the final part would be slow since I though I'd have to sneak past everything but I can just go guns blazing instead

On my last playthrough where I got 4 hours 7 minutes I was sneaking so much toward the end since I couldn't craft bottles of acid

[cold anvil]

Good to know it’s good late game, I’m technically on my third run rn because my 2nd run was prioritizing collectibles and some other achievements

But I never finished it

Got what I needed halfway through

So I was like “might aswell start the no heal no blood collector run”

[buoyant osprey]

Also on my third

[cold anvil]

I haven’t played today but I left off on the carecenter basement about 55 min into the run

[buoyant osprey]

Hope I get under 4 hours on this one

[cold anvil]

Gl brother o7

[buoyant osprey]

I still plan on doing a fourth run to do that big secret that was found out recently as well as getting the bad ending (done good ending twice so far and will do it this time as well)

Keep in mind that to get the under 4 hours thing you HAVE to go for the good ending. Bad doesn't count towards it

[cold anvil]

Yeah that secret gives you hella extra points so they’re probably gonna add more rewards in the future

Most definitely gonna be a dlc

They’ve always done it since 7

[urban tundra]

Guys should I save up for Alienware 27 360Hz QD-OLED Gaming Monitor - AW2725DF, or the zowie monitor?

[compact oriole]

Check Out if Hardware/monitor unboxed has videos on them

[buoyant osprey]

Okay I did it! Finally

Now I can take one final playthrough, a relaxed casual difficulty one where I just mop up the remaining achievements

[scarlet marlin]

speedrun on insanity? omg

[urban tundra]

I did and both people say there good I just have no idea if it’s worth saving up that much for zowie

[buoyant osprey]

Well it was with infinite ammo weapons

[scarlet marlin]

yeah but still hahaha

[plain oyster]

Neither go Asus

[cold anvil]

Good shit

Idk how you did insanity though lol

Even with the inf ammo

Some normal enemies deadass one shot you

[hardy merlin]

[outer pollen]

Cheaters are gonna run rampant

[hardy merlin]

As if they aren't already

[nimble current]

dare to say no to pvp slop

[hardy merlin]

As if I'm gonna play EA games

[mellow garden]

Time for the EA Linux Kernel

[hardy merlin]

Given you can switch very easily to other kernels it wouldn't be such a bad idea

[slate vessel]

Developing a Kernel level anti-cheat for Linux would be extremely difficult. There isn't a unified kernel between distros like in Windows.

[sinful cobalt]

Its a rare EA w if they do that

[hardy merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/blink-blinking-what-confused-blacklist-gif-13641169

Like 95% of people use mainline kernel

[vapid lintel]

Damn, I knew Linux was hardcore, but mainlining it? Sheesh

[fallow bronze]

I'm too Linux to understand this

[novel umbra]

Bigger issue is that you can run two kernels

[buoyant osprey]

@cold anvil 100% done with RE9 now. Took 4 playthroughs. I have all the cheevos

[cold anvil]

good for you man

[buoyant osprey]

Ty

[compact oriole]

https://www.theverge.com/games/880206/highguard-shut-down

the concord 2 memes were actually not memes

[mellow garden]

lol, lmao even

[hardy merlin]

It was pretty much sure after layoffs they had 3 weeks ago
Still, kinda sad that they didn't delay the game and made the release an open test, would make more sense where to put more development into

[compact oriole]

they didnt even know what they were trying to make. this game wouldnt have been good in even another 10 years

[mellow garden]

Maybe the venture capitalists will stop funding investor slop

[trim rock]

Oh damn

I expected it to last until June

[small comet]

ngl i feel like most sane people saw this coming sooner than later given the player numbers

[compact oriole]

they prolly used all the money they could so it would last longer than the 2 weeks concord did

[hardy merlin]

That's why open test would help, at least would give them some direction from feedback
But yeah, it was everything at once, horses and guns and magic and... eh...

[buoyant osprey]

Anybody checked in on Geoff? Is he okay?

[trim rock]

And they block Linux gamers so whatever, game automatically sucks because of that

[hardy merlin]

Geoff left Xbox because of Highguard

[compact oriole]

ye wheres geoff? he owes us an apology

[hardy merlin]

Game devs: we are blocking Linux, so our game has a better defense against cheats now
Cheat devs: add one more bypass to cheat
Game devs:

[cold anvil]

WONT BE MISSED

[hardy merlin]

Now waiting when Rito announces that 2XKO is dead

Although it's Rito's fault there
Game is solid, but roster is tiny and you have like 2 characters only for free
They should all be free this early
But I guess greedy be greedy

[compact oriole]

it worked with league so they thought itd work with 2xko

i think league heroes not being free is a total scam

[trim rock]

But it gives the gamers something to work towards!!!!

[hardy merlin]

But league is huge and has a ton of players and you get way more champs for free or very very cheap at the start
Plus getting into League as a new player in '26 is a huge pain either way

[vital wren]

rito sucks icl
greedy ass company

[torn jungle]

Does anyone have any arc raiders profiles I get my 60he+ tomo and want to be prepared setting it up

[vital wren]

might take a look at #🌈│wootabase_profiles

[hardy merlin]

I mean they can treat their playerbase however they want, they'll still sell thousands of Ahri skins

[nimble current]

nah it was the gamers fault highguard flopped member

with all that toxicity

[hardy merlin]

[manic owl]

im glad i caused that by beeing a chud

[vital wren]

the fact that this is a fact makes me in fact sad

[hardy merlin]

I mean whole game is designed in such a way that it brings out the most toxicity
Laning phase is the most important in the game and you are alone during this time
It's enough to invade enemy jungle once on the start of the game to kill their first 15 minutes of the game
There's rarely any comebacks, because if you are ahead you scale even harder
And they add more and more champions that have more abilities in one skill than the early champs had in a whole kit, plus they reward playing solo in a team game

[sinful cobalt]

The servers are shutting down on the 12th

[manic owl]

lol so a bit longer than concord?

[buoyant osprey]

Several times longer than Concord

https://tenor.com/view/cat-dance-old-chat-barbe-gif-3692839162282326292

[hardy merlin]

Concord lasted few days

[vital wren]

it's not really uncommon to come back in league with champs like kayle, vayne, veigar, etc but yea rito meh

[hardy merlin]

Yeah, with specific champs that either scale much better than the rest or have true damage

[vital wren]

I had a big ass winning streak in league 10 games at least in the last days

but I only play to spend time with some friends

[hardy merlin]

I haven't played since 2022 or so and am very happy

[manic owl]

still too long

[sinful cobalt]

I don’t play league since 2023

[hardy merlin]

Yeah, right after Nilah release

[sinful cobalt]

Nilah was a fun character

Broken but fun atleast in aram

[vital wren]

aram mayham is the most fun mode imo

[hardy merlin]

URF

ARURF sucks

[sinful cobalt]

Arurf was fun as well

[vital wren]

Idk when arena got released but Aram mayhem is just arena in aram

[hardy merlin]

Nooooo
Because I couldn't pick Lux to do Double Motherfucking Rainbow In Your Face™ every 6.4 seconds

[sinful cobalt]

Arena is not a bad mode but idk

[trim rock]

I played League like once back in like 2015, thought it was shit and went back to Dota 2

[sinful cobalt]

I mostly did that in ranked

[hardy merlin]

Nah, in ranked you could go down to like 14s

[hardy merlin]

Dota needs a bit more thinking that going Master Yi Q everything

[compact oriole]

dota is life

[hardy merlin]

But denying is peak mechanic, so good to make other role 2 ragequit

[cold anvil]

@cyan pewter whats the best way to learn how to get more familiar with this game? I genuinely suck lmao and I dont know where to start

[cyan pewter]

90% of racing is literally just seat time

[cold anvil]

ignore how I shift gears.. I cannot change the settings on my ps5 controller lmao

[cyan pewter]

of course theres probably videos online for specific tracks and such but a lot of it comes down to experience

[hardy merlin]

Where radar or mirror

[cyan pewter]

yes.. radar would be cool

[cold anvil]

I feel like I start off decently strong then get immedietley put into last

[cyan pewter]

and a rear mirror

[cold anvil]

will play more

[cyan pewter]

well i mean it definitely helps being in the right gear
you can also pay attention to the ai and where they start breaking for example using these mile markers

[cold anvil]

Any way to change the postion of the timer ui? I feel like its in the way

[hardy merlin]

Pretty much you need to focus on when to optimally brake and position yourself for given turn to lose the least amouint of speed
How to fight for position in a clean way
And how to effectively use slipstream
And you'll be okay

[cold anvil]

mean to reply to this

[cyan pewter]

its better to stomp on breaks (but also dont lock up)
and then releasing it slowly

vs slowly coming onto breaks and then pressing harder

the latter makes you overshoot corners

[cold anvil]

I have an idea of how to do it because of GT4 but everything in AC seems new and scary!

[cyan pewter]

if you look at your break load graph, you see what i mean by this ^

even if its for a split second that you arent initially on 80%ish breaks you will overshoot the corner

[hardy merlin]

I usually turn off ABS assists because I'm so used to brake without it

[cold anvil]

it feels like theres so many factors that come into making those turns, along side the car you also have to understand how the turn is and what kind of breaking techniuque to use

cause some work better than others for more lineant or sharper turns

[cyan pewter]

i use abs but turn off tcs in some cars

[cold anvil]

I see

[cyan pewter]

you should be in second gear during that corner
with high revs

or maybe 3rd so you dont have to shift when accelerating out of it

[cold anvil]

THESE NPC'S PISS ME OFF

[cyan pewter]

holy fuck that 4th gear is brutally long

[cyan pewter]

if you press esc theres a replay mode

can you clip that in 3rd person

[cold anvil]

actually looking at it now

I think that waas on me........

[cyan pewter]

yeah you were sideways on that entry

[cyan pewter]

even in a low rev range you were pinning the gas when your car didnt have grip

[cold anvil]

it felt like I almost had it ngl

[cold anvil]

I am learning.

[cyan pewter]

the shift into neutral

[cold anvil]

I would usually have the buttons inverted

so sometimes I just ende up pressing the wrong one

[cyan pewter]

hmm

well i mean other than the fact that its on controller and the steering is jerky, not really anything you can do

BUT....

you can learn how to stick roll steer

can be more precise and smoother

racing line could be better but thats just things you learn the more you race

[bleak pike]

Abysmal

[grizzled quarry]

Changing steering sens + being less abrupt with stick movements would help a lot

[bleak pike]

I see your driving skills are as good as your fortnite skills.

[grizzled quarry]

(Im getting a diff car and am absolutely stealing the type x lights)

The one there is my dad's first 240 he bought from the dealership with like 30km

Its got stock quarters 👀 👀

[manic owl]

impossible

[grizzled quarry]

Not needing to deal with a teenagers molested 240 is gonna be lovely

[manic owl]

become the teenager

[grizzled quarry]

I REFUSE

I have taste god damnit I will NOT be cutting this thing

[nimble current]

its not a real 240 if its not slammed and tuned with some zip ties and $20 open air filter

[grizzled quarry]

We might end up building the engine in the living room

The garage too cold lol

[nimble current]

80s/90s cars are basically extinct around these parts

way too much humidity and road salt during winter

[sinful cobalt]

Even tho i will gonna get my fathers 2005 Seat Altea im still looking at cars that i would wanna buy in the future

[nimble current]

am only really interested in older cars but you can't really daily those here without constant upkeep and paranoia over it rusting away

[grizzled quarry]

Its like that where im at rn but he kept good care of it

When I get it back to the west coast itll be perfect

We dont use salt on the roads, + im mainland and barely get snow anyway

[nimble current]

we got a lot of road salt and gravel that'll scrape away paint and protective treatment

and weather constantly pingpongs from freezing to thawing

its just torture for anything mechanical or electrical

its a lot better further north, much drier and temperature stays stable over longer periods

when I look for used cars I actively avoid anything that's spent its entire life here

[grizzled quarry]

Where are you at?

[grizzled quarry]

We get this whwre I live but its at worst like -10 lol

We got -14 for like 2 days, then it was like 8-12c for the next week

[little cape]

https://tenor.com/view/canada-gif-4351263

canada be like

[grizzled quarry]

Anywhere but the west coast*

My brothers live on the island and havent seen anything below like -2

[buoyant osprey]

I have been loving From Software more lately

[fathom swift]

Miyazaki wanted to work on the project directly and doesn't want it handed off to another studio

[buoyant osprey]

Good

[vital wren]

Common Miyazaki W?

[fathom swift]

So there wont be anything until duskbloods is fully done with at least

[buoyant osprey]

I don't want a Bloodborne r*make especially not by another studio
Certainly not a remake or sequel by another studio either

[fathom swift]

I think duskbloods was just a "warm up" for fromsoft to get them back into the style of bloodborne. It's been a decade after all

[vital wren]

Yea I 100% Miyazaki is a really good at what he is doing and having him remaking bloodborn is the least bloodborne deserves

[fathom swift]

It is miyazakis favourite soulsborne

No wonder he doesn't want anyone else working on it, to risk ruining it

[buoyant osprey]

I'm so damn tired of remakes and remake culture. So happy to see him reject people like this

[vital wren]

The chances are pretty high it would be a complete disaster if another studio would work on the remake instead of FromSoft and Miyazaki

[fathom swift]

Maybe he disliked bluepoints take on demons souls?

[buoyant osprey]

I hope so

Is it alright if I may ask if you guys can rate my icon set?

[fathom swift]

Are you asking if you're allowed to ask for permission?

[half tendon]

What ever works in a sense

[buoyant osprey]

Looking at the cover tells you all you need to know

[vital wren]

I've never seen that remake cover

[cold anvil]

i really dont know the issue, its basically the same game but the remake loses the style for realism

[buoyant osprey]

It's really stupid and generic looking. «epic» main character facing down all the bad guys with their weapons up like the scout from TF2

[cold anvil]

yeah

basically

WE miss the demon souls cat icon

[fathom swift]

[buoyant osprey]

No other company than From Software themselves should be allowed to remake a From Software game imo

And god the music in Demon's Souls remake is so mid

Why does everything have to be so bombastic and full of choirs in the remake!! Okay I'm going to stop because I can rant forever about the things I dislike about this game

[vital wren]

I totally agree on this one

[outer pollen]

@cold anvil you saw this

[cold anvil]

Absolutely awesome.

Bro we had a freakin bile titan pop up out of nowhere last minute

[vital wren]

Haven't played today

[vital wren]

Bite titans are easy

I like using this small rocket launcher

From the same warbound as the suicide hellbomb

[old glen]

This is a ancient account my working on again lol

I bought the game on of when it released, but ended up playing on Xbox for awhile

Then when I built my new PC I put it back on here, so it's only level 24 rn😭

[vital wren]

Higher than @cyan pewter iirc

I've completed some achievements with that boy yesterday

But the "shoot of both arms of a hulk and extract with it still being alive" just kills me

[old glen]

Lmaoooo

[vital wren]

I either kill that thing or it dies cause it can't handle two quasar shots on its arms

The "kill a charger with a supply pack" made me wanna just scream too, that thing never landed on the damn charger I had to get those funny orbital EMS strikes

Anyway I am going to eep now, good nighty

[hardy merlin]

Hum... So Highguard lived for 3.2 Concords...

[trim rock]

Wonder if we'll ever get another game that lasts less than 1 Concord

[mellow garden]

Private equity etc needs to stop funding this investor slop, the industry produces more games than the consumers are ever demanding.

[sinful cobalt]

[compact oriole]

these games shape a future where theres gonna be fewer of these

[sinful cobalt]

Meanwhile sony leaving the PC market

[compact oriole]

according to 1 guy with no sources

[hardy merlin]

Capcom doing great by doing opposite of what Sony does

[mellow garden]

Sooner or later the bubble is going to burst and the industry will lose tens of thousands of jobs in the process. That, however, isn't my problem as a consumer.

[sinful cobalt]

True

[buoyant osprey]

Meanwhile Xbox:

[compact oriole]

im praying its bs.. losing sonys singleplayer blockbusters would suck. apparently Stellar blade dev studio might be leaving sony

[buoyant osprey]

I don't feel like Sony makes many noteworthy games these days so it doesn't bother me much but obviously having them on PC is still better

[compact oriole]

well they were busy starting and cancelling 8 or 9 live service games

but they got their studios working on blockbusters again (the ones they didnt close )

they did show a couple really cool games at their last show

would suck not having em on pc

[nimble current]

tbh the industry needs a new collapse

[compact oriole]

happening rn in western AAA

[nimble current]

needs to happen in japan too

[compact oriole]

i think we wont see as many of these huge investmentslop games in a couple years

[nimble current]

jp corporations need to learn humility like the rest

[buoyant osprey]

Please yes

[compact oriole]

what happened with japanese games? im not following what oyu mean

[nimble current]

not so much the games, but their attitudes towards their customers

they are way too comfortable treating paying customers like vermin

[compact oriole]

do you have an example? is that generally a japanese AAA issue or is this about nintendo

[nimble current]

yes sony does it too

[compact oriole]

cant think of many big japanese studios. atm only fromsoft and capcom come to my mind

prolly a bunch more im blanking on tho

bandai namco i think is japanese too

[buoyant osprey]

Praying Konami goes under in the upcoming video game industry flood

[compact oriole]

werent they in the news recently for smth stupid? i dont recall

[buoyant osprey]

[outer pollen]

They aren’t with the new Castlevania

And then they got the Volume 2 for metal gear coming out

That’s enough to sustain them through 6 billion pachinko machine projects

[hardy merlin]

They are earning like 2.5x as much on pachinko and stuff than on selling games as per latest investor report

[buoyant osprey]

What the hell is pachinko?

[compact oriole]

japans way of circumventing gambling laws

[compact oriole]

its the usual bs of youre not actually getting money but tokens, so its legal in japan

[buoyant osprey]

Are they video games?

[compact oriole]

its like pinball + slots

not a video game persay id say

[buoyant osprey]

This was Silent Hill in Japan for two decades as Konami whored the series out to western developers making mediocre games

[compact oriole]

thats the guy. schreier

[buoyant osprey]

He seems to usually be reliable

[compact oriole]

ye, thats why im kinda afraid it might be true. would still be great to have any kinda source or how he got this info

he said this 2 weeks ago on his podcast that gets like 5 views and from there other publications spread this. guess he now got a round to writing a piece about it

[mellow garden]

I’m not buying the games on PlayStation if this is actually true.

If the game doesn't have heavy focus on drifting and newly rolling drifting events and tracks every day I'm going to flip tables.

[quiet vault]

Bro! They cooked so hard with Vex

[little cape]

@vital wren i was playing helldivers yesterday on difficulty 7. Tell me how they couldnt kill any of the bugs died multiple times and then leave

smh traitors of democracy

[vital wren]

They just weak

[little cape]

clankers in disguise

the Automatons have infiltrated our ranks

[vital wren]

I am missing one achievement now..

[little cape]

which one

[vital wren]

I CAN'T DO THE FUCKING HULK ONE

It just.. dies

[vital wren]

Like how

What weapon should I use

@cyan pewter help me you clanka

[cyan pewter]

bro i play the game a lot less than you have 😭

[little cape]

shii i 100% within a month when it first came out

whats the achievement called

[vital wren]

I should've too..

[vital wren]

Let's call it a draw

[little cape]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NbCyNXy1zc

try it with a rail gun

or quaser cannon

[sterile narwhal]

i recommend anti mat

so easy to do

[little cape]

@vital wren how do you mean the hulk dies when you try to extract

[vital wren]

Two shots of quasar just kills it

[sterile narwhal]

do it right at the start

[vital wren]

Nah shooting it's arms of without killing it

[little cape]

try rail gun or that recoilless rifle (primary gun)

what difficulty are you on?

[vital wren]

Tried like 4-7 lmao

[little cape]

[nimble current]

I got 972 hours and I still got 4 achievements left

[little cape]

i would have more but then the rail gun debuff happened and then the devs were talking shit to the community

buffing all the mobs to "make us suffer"

then i took a break from the game

[nimble current]

that's what they deserve

[little cape]

but i truly did enjoy the game

[little cape]

idc the rail gun got nerfed but then they werent buffing any other gun

[nimble current]

idk the community complains all the time regardless of what the devs do honestly

[grizzled quarry]

Nerfs in a pve game is just, strange to me

[little cape]

yeah

i mean i dont keep up with the game devs and the community after all that bs

just feel like the route that wasnt taken could have been better

[nimble current]

I don't get why some people think game balance is irrelevant just because its not pvp

[grizzled quarry]

If somethings too strong, what does it matter. If people dont like a weapon for being too strong they can just.... not use it

[nimble current]

that is a strange mindset to me

[grizzled quarry]

Because look what it got them

They nerfed stuff and everyone started crying

[nimble current]

yeah, gamers are a whiny entitled bunch, that's nothing new

[grizzled quarry]

When hd2 first came out all I heard was hype, then as they started nerfing stuff all I heard about it was that the devs are ruining the game by nerfing anything that is strong at all

[nimble current]

like I don't agree with a bunch of things they do but its far from ruined as the biggest mopers will have you believe

[grizzled quarry]

I have all of about 2h in the game so I have 0 clue how bad any of it actually was

[little cape]

meh they screwed over their fanbase with the sony sign in requirement that nearly killed the game

[vital wren]

hd2 will never be as ruined as concord

[grizzled quarry]

Forgot that happened yeah people were PISSED

And rightfully so

[little cape]

yup people couldnt get refunds for their game

idk if steam decided to give them refunds

but i remember that bs happening

[grizzled quarry]

Id imagine so

Steam is quite good for stuff like that

[little cape]

thats true but the game did have really bad ups and downs

[grizzled quarry]

Especially when you literally got forced into not being able to play the game in certain regions

[nimble current]

tbh their biggest mistake was not giving people an ingame reward for signing up

I promise like 90% would just have sucked it up and registered if they did

[grizzled quarry]

If i wasnt so pvp pilled id play hd2

[nimble current]

we all grow up eventually

[grizzled quarry]

After seeing all the old crybaby pvers in arc raiders I refuse to become one

I will forever be a pvper

[little cape]

you couldnt make psn accounts in certain regions when sony doesnt support it so ultimately a lot of people got screwed over

[grizzled quarry]

Iirc it wasnt just certain regions, there were quite a large chunk of countries included in that

[little cape]

thats also another dumb issue why add pvp if you're going to punish them for having it in the game

[nimble current]

ehh am better off without that toxic tryhard crap in my life

[little cape]

not like halo when you're betraying teammates

[grizzled quarry]

Yeah arc definitely shows its colors with who they care more about lol

[nimble current]

I played my some 20 years of pvp

[grizzled quarry]

They are adding event modes that do nothing but screw over pvp engagements

Cough hurricane cough

That mode is fucking awful

[nimble current]

played pvp from 1996 to 2019 basically

am done

[grizzled quarry]

Im not even that old LOL

However I have played pvp/fps since I was like 3

[nimble current]

started with quake online at 10 years old

before then I played locally on consoles ofc

but that was my first online pvp experience, on fuckin 33k modem

[grizzled quarry]

I played cod 4 when I was 3 lol

[nimble current]

everyone had like 300+ ping, it was hilarious

[little cape]

yeah weird af they didnt just add a game mode for pve players but out right make tweets saying if youre a pvper youre a bad person and you will get punished like wtf 😭

[grizzled quarry]

Hey at least everyone had to deal with it

[nimble current]

yeah lol

everyone just stuttered across the screen

[little cape]

quake 3 was my first ps2 game

[grizzled quarry]

Nah if they add dedicated pve mode people would realize just how boring that game is without pvp

The arc are far too easy for a dedicated pve mode

And there's nothing to do in that game really

[nimble current]

but it didn't matter it was the coolest shit ever at the time, I had never played with or talked to other people across the globe before

[little cape]

could make the bots more difficult

[grizzled quarry]

It was better when I was a noob because the arc were actually scary

Now that I have a couple hundred hours I can just W key around the entire map without even having a single arc look my way

[nimble current]

the arcs are quite easy to evade unless you're really clumsy yes

[grizzled quarry]

The new comet arc is like the only one thats actually a problem

And its simply because they are tanky lol

Still easy asf to dodge them though sooooo

[nimble current]

I wasn't entirely truthful about being done with pvp I do encounter it sometimes when I play star citizen

but its like, very rare

I don't actively seek it out but sometimes you gotta go into pvp contested zones for rare items

[grizzled quarry]

I kinda want arc to remove aggression based matchmaking

[nimble current]

it'll just turn into tarkov 2.0 if they do

[grizzled quarry]

I feel like friendly encounters should be something that happens naturally, not just oh hey let me kill myself 8 times so I can be in carebear lobbies

[nimble current]

that just tells me you intentionally want to play against people who are worse at pvp than you

[grizzled quarry]

No

I do it when I want to turn my brain off and loot stuff

The second I shoot 1 person in friendly lobbies my acc is back into pvp lobbies

[nimble current]

tbh it would be better if you had more manual control over it

that much I can agree with

[grizzled quarry]

I also love the brain dead sentiment of if you kill someone you are a rat

Like that's not how that works😭

[nimble current]

I mostly regard people who extraction camp to be rats, at least those that just wants to sabotage your extraction without even taking your loot

but just do it so you don't get it either

[grizzled quarry]

I straight up told a dude over prox chat im here to kill people and he called me a rat then tried to backstab me 💀 💀

[vital wren]

nah I am kinda pissed rn, I had 3 fuckers without arms and I didn't get the achivement, like HOW DID THEY ALL DIE

[grizzled quarry]

I do this to people but in pvp lobbies

[nimble current]

then you're kind of an asshole, no offence

[grizzled quarry]

Oh for sure LOL

But if I think ima die, your dying with me

Aint none of us making it out with our stuff

Im a self aware ass hole I know what im doing

[nimble current]

like I get it if you're jumping me out of nowhere to steal my shit before I extract, that's a bit dickish but at least there's a purpose for it

killing someone when neither ends up with the gear, that's just antisocial and your parents probably didn't love you

[grizzled quarry]

My parents both love me quite a lot actually 🤓

Im just a petty dick

[nimble current]

mistakes were made along the way

if someone rushes into the elevator to off me I just spam every grenade I got

[grizzled quarry]

Do keep in mind, I no lifed rust so. Its sort of just force of habit

[nimble current]

usually it takes the fucker down with me

[grizzled quarry]

I once killed a dude while on free kit, he started talking a bunch of shit while he was downed and I forced him to watch as I burned us both alive

It was glorious

[little cape]

you gotta do it closer to extract

they end up blowing up if you dont aggro them

[fierce bay]

It’s not banned in Val if that’s what you’re asking

[analog hamlet]

But does it actually work?
I don't understand how it works, I'm so stupid. 🙁

[hardy merlin]

Due to how movement works in Valorant there's little to no advantage when using SOCD there

[analog hamlet]

thanks for answer

[vital wren]

Yea I but far enough away so the hulk doesn't die by the ship

[cold anvil]

all the awesome and cool games I bought this month

[vital wren]

@little cape railcannon works fine to shoot off the arms lmao, I have to find out how to extract with it staying alive later when I hop back on

I hope it will be finished by today

Probably not

It'll probably be like fh4 where its a diff season every week

I hated this shit

[grizzled quarry]

Even in offline mode you couldn't even pick the season

Its lame

[maiden tulip]

@grizzled quarry i see enough snow incmy life i have 0 interest for snow in my videogames

If anything i despise it

ITS NOT FUN

[grizzled quarry]

Look in general/reis server

Was out in it on the side by side like 10m ago lol

[maiden tulip]

Anyone who likes it spends more time taking screenshots

Than actually ppaying

[grizzled quarry]

Snow maps on beamng are fun for drifting around

Forza does a shitty job of doing snow though

I swear they've never driven in snow the way it felt in fh4

[maiden tulip]

IT DOESNT FEEL LIKE SNOW

ITS LIKE A FUCKING SLIP AND SLIDE

YOU CAN STILL GET GRIP ON SNOW

[grizzled quarry]

Its basically like they just turned the grip multiplier down😭

[maiden tulip]

ITS LIKE WHAT SOMEONE WHO DOESNT KNOW WHAT SNOW IS IMAGINING WHAT SNOW IS LIKE

[manic owl]

they also have never driven a car the way force feedback worked

[grizzled quarry]

Oh god yeah

I tried my wheel on it once, never again

Felt so ass

[maiden tulip]

Same

Its so awful

[grizzled quarry]

Like my logi wheel isnt that good right, but at least on beamng or assetto its still somewhat good

Forza was just fucking awful

[manic owl]

yeah hard to take a corner either it tries to snap your wrists or give no feedback

[buoyant osprey]

Omg nooo my review is too long. Will have to delete a bunch @outer pollen
I should have been writing it on Steam instead of Discord :'(

not recommended with 30 hours

Absolute dumbass

I'm sorry but you literally went back to 100% the game

[buoyant osprey]

Yes I do that to most REs

[maiden tulip]

maybe you shouldnt be buying them anymore

🤣

like

[buoyant osprey]

I didn't buy 7 or 8 because I expected not to like them. But I did expect to like Requiem

[maiden tulip]

You went back to 100% if you didnt enjoy the game you'd have left it alone after playing it

You wouldn't have done that if you hadn't been having fun

Genuinely

[buoyant osprey]

Infinite ammo is fun for a bit. Getting achievements can be fun. All my issues with the game still exist

[maiden tulip]

you had fun :) you just hate that you did

[buoyant osprey]

No

Over half of the game is playtime I dreaded having to replay

But I still did it because I wanted 100% like I have done with most REs regardless of how much I like them

[maiden tulip]

I'm sorry but if you dreaded it you wouldn't have replayed it

At all

[buoyant osprey]

That's not true at all

[maiden tulip]

Ok then you're just a wierdo who has a lot of time to spare playing games he doesn't like

xD

You spent your whole weekend playing something you dreaded

Like

Didn't you have anything better to do?

[buoyant osprey]

Almost half of my playtime went to my first playthrough. The others were much quicker. Do you really think I did nothing else the past days? I have not played RE9 for 30 hours it was more like 22-23 hours

[little cape]

yes

[outer pollen]

I did this for Monster Hunter World as well, I put in like 50 or 60 hours on PlayStation just so people wouldn’t say I didn’t give the game a chance

And it was trash still

[hardy merlin]

Base game was not great
But Iceborne was amazing

Would also help a ton if they removed those stupid cutscenes which are unskippable and kick you out of the party if you play co-op

[hardy merlin]

Now you get your reviews removed from Xbox if you use Microslop in it

[verbal nymph]

what a microslop way to go

[serene orbit]

Apparently it was removed cuz it was just off topic cuz its a review and they said

“I left a review saying I hope they don't inject AI and turn the Xbox app into MicroSlop and it appears that is against their policy in a review.”

[hardy merlin]

And I bet my left arm they wouldn't care if there was no "Microslop" in it

when grown adult men start a controversy about eyes being fixed on a kids show

ive heard it all now

Well they weren't «fixed» in that sense more like censorship

[compact oriole]

now im curious. what did the eyes look like for them to get censored

[hardy merlin]

I still remember all lyrics from all songs from first two Equestria Girls
Songs from third one were a nightmare on karaoke, I bet a ton of professional singers wouldn't be able to keep up with changes in tempo and tone, let alone target audience

[buoyant osprey]

This is how they looked

[compact oriole]

and then it wasnt pc enough anymore?

[buoyant osprey]

She is unintelligent, clumsy and cross-eyed (hence her name Derpy). Someone (not sure who or how many) found it offensive that traits like clumsiness or being stupid were paired up with being cross-eyed so at some point the animators gave her normal eyes which the fandom hated since it made her less special

Don’t forget Pokémon Pokopia supports GameShare, that means that with 1 copy of the game you can play with a friend either online or locally.

For local play your friend can even play if they have an old Switch 1.

Its gonna be the biggest forza map

[quiet vault]

has to

sadly video quality kinda bad

[sinful cobalt]

I mean it is premier quality

[quiet vault]

nah vid quality too

[sinful cobalt]

Im on phone so

It was okay for me

[outer pollen]

@bleak pike did you get Marathon?

[bleak pike]

Nope

[outer pollen]

I enjoyed it, during the stress test

But idk if I wanna buy it

[nimble current]

I heard someone describe the visuals of marathon as a game in development that's just full of placeholder textures

and it described it so well

[hardy merlin]

They are treading as carefully as possible

[cyan pewter]

i cant wait for this

the s7 sounds pretty decent too

[nimble current]

like they're so desperate for a distinctive artstyle

[outer pollen]

There was this big fucking green wall in one of the maps and I was like tf

[hardy merlin]

I wonder how long till Sony execs will try to monetize the heck out of it

[cyan pewter]

the motion blur in this the gameplay is

[nimble current]

seeing it actually selling a decent amount was a bit disappointing

gamers never learn it would seem

[outer pollen]

It’s the number 1 game in the U.S. and Canada right now

[nimble current]

sigh

[cyan pewter]

waiting for the first week of fh6

[nimble current]

gamers. never. learn.

iTs BuNgIe It MuSt Be GuD

even though its like 0% of the og staff left

[nimble current]

"Its refreshing ans honestly I really cant wait to give it the kind of time I've given past FPS titles."

refreshing bro what

its an insult to eyesight

[cyan pewter]

cant wait to hear the s7 on my proper iems at home

[quiet vault]

where the other things

[cyan pewter]

though typical ign, no in depth car customization

[outer pollen]

This is my favorite one

[quiet vault]

probably one video a week or sum

[cyan pewter]

probably, it would make sense

its also.. hella empty

as in no traffic and forza doesnt really do npcs walking

[nimble current]

apparently the player retention from the server slams have been pretty poor

guess we'll see how many will keep playing it after a week

[cyan pewter]

thumbnail did day first so surely that implies theres more

[quiet vault]

ye they only advertised this as uninterrupted gameplay

[nimble current]

given how obsessed todays gamers are with cosmetics and other unlockables its not exactly in a great place when the entire artstyle is an eyesore

[quiet vault]

isnt the artstyle the best thing about marathon

[cyan pewter]

i pray they let us adjust traffic levels

[quiet vault]

surely

[cyan pewter]

cause whats been shown is.. piss poor

total of like less than 30 cars in 9 minute gameplay footage

[quiet vault]

the game plays in covid japan

[nimble current]

tbh it looks the same as FH5 to me but with a new map

[cyan pewter]

[outer pollen]

I might buy it idk

[quiet vault]

ye cant really judge graphics yet

bitrate seemed low

[nimble current]

just the overall visuals and lod is basically identical

[cyan pewter]

this ign replay recording has motion blur on max

[small comet]

which looks like fh4 to me but with a new map

[quiet vault]

oh i wouldnt judge lod yet

[nimble current]

yeah I don't get the FH hype honestly

[quiet vault]

nahh fh4 to fh5 is a clear graphics difference

[nimble current]

the cars handle like hot ass in FH too

totally killed my enthusiasm for the game

[cyan pewter]

car reflections does look a bit better in 6 on the silver saleen

[quiet vault]

atleast if u max everything out (which isnt hard)

[small comet]

i mean i do play fh quite a bit but more as a fun distraction than really a good racing game

[quiet vault]

freeroam game

[nimble current]

well the cars have to be fun to drive for a driving game to work imo, and they aren't imo

[small comet]

tbh they drive better than new NSF games imo

but not as nice as underground2/mostwanted or smth

[nimble current]

that's not really setting the bar high though

[outer pollen]

Marathon has 60hz servers

[nimble current]

idk what's happened with racing games honestly

[cyan pewter]

because there arent many freeroam racers

[nimble current]

its like the pursuit of realistic physics has just killed any fun

[small comet]

what about the crew

[nimble current]

I'd rather just play rally games then

[outer pollen]

They died after Hot Pursuit and Gran Turismo 2

[cyan pewter]

fh5 physics arent very realistic
especially with how awd handles

[small comet]

i do like playing crazy taxi

[cyan pewter]

well theyre the big 3, forza, nfs and the crew

[nimble current]

and they aren't arcady fun either, its like stuck in between where it doesn't please either camp

[cyan pewter]

theres a handful of smaller ones but its just overall a limited experience

[small comet]

i dont mean the franchise

[sinful cobalt]

Crew Motorfest handling is pretty awful

[small comet]

i meant the game "The Crew"

[quiet vault]

lets make it more realistic ig

[cyan pewter]

i only have the crew 2 so i cant really speak on it

[nimble current]

beam.ng manages to pull of realistic-ish handling while still being fun, but the visuals are just super dated

[small comet]

time to play "The Crew Unlimited"

[nimble current]

dirt rally 2.0 is still fun too but very difficult and kinda exhausting to play for more than an hour

[sinful cobalt]

Forza’s handling is easy to master overall

Thats why ppl love it

[cyan pewter]

beamng takes pride in their simulation

forza takes a hybrid of sim and arcade, their past forza horizon physics models were just taken from motorsport with a arcady spin on it

[nimble current]

its boooring

[cyan pewter]

though we dont know if this was done for 6^

[nimble current]

can't even drift properly in forza

[bleak pike]

• I don't trust bungie
• The game is boring
• It looks ass
• Shouldn't cost how much it costs

But in general I didn't enjoy it much

[sinful cobalt]

Idk i wanna play a video game not something realistic shit

[nimble current]

well it fails at arcade handling too

feels like driving a brick

[cyan pewter]

just need a good tune

[outer pollen]

I might buy it

[bleak pike]

Do et

Especially if you enjoyed it

[outer pollen]

I wanna play a few rounds

[bleak pike]

But I don't really see the point in pre ordering tbh

[sinful cobalt]

Bc forza is a mix of Arcade and Sim not full arcade

[bleak pike]

I haven't even pre ordered D2 expansions in years anymore

[outer pollen]

Oh I thought it was out already

[cyan pewter]

full arcade like modern nfs is

[sinful cobalt]

Yeah NFS is full arcade but it suck ass

[bleak pike]

2 hours

[sinful cobalt]

Okay NFS heat had the overall best handling from the modern NFS’s

[compact oriole]

feel like player numbers will go down by like 80-90% within 3 weeks

[cyan pewter]

what does the crew fall under?

its also majority leaning towards arcade right?

[sinful cobalt]

Im not sure

[cyan pewter]

at least from what i remember playing the crew 2

[bleak pike]

It annoyed me that my 65yo neighbour who watches old music videos exclusively on YouTube had marathon plastered everywhere on his YouTube

[quiet vault]

quality is apparently better on igns website

[cyan pewter]

youtube has compression

[bleak pike]

Just pay for premium

Duh

[nimble current]

gamers: why are we fed so much trash from these studios nowadays?
also gamers: preorders marathon

[bleak pike]

I miss premium so much ;-;

[cyan pewter]

https://tenor.com/view/lil-yachty-drake-oprahs-bank-account-meme-laptop-gif-20803826

[quiet vault]

if only that worked

[maiden tulip]

they need my tunes

[sinful cobalt]

Yeah its leaning towards arcade

[cold anvil]

Just proves how greedy Microsoft is and how unnecessary Bedrock was

[compact oriole]

well shits shifting. even cod failed this year

[cold anvil]

I find it so funny how Activision knows they failed but don’t admit it in their corporate talk

What was it that they said again?

[compact oriole]

because optics is more important than fact

[cold anvil]

I see

[sinful cobalt]

Blops 7 isn’t that bad but its very bland

[compact oriole]

it matters more how you say something than what you say. if youre the smartest guy on a topic in the room but you cant even chain a coherent sentence, people will ignore you

[sinful cobalt]

Cod needs the same BO and MW switch each year

[compact oriole]

being able to smooth talk is an insanely powerful skill

[cold anvil]

What really irks me is the use of ai for cosmetics, whether it’s paid or not doesn’t matter

[sinful cobalt]

Not 2 BO and 2 MW games after a row

[bleak pike]

I mean we've had bedrock be able to join java and vice versa for years so this isn't surprising

[compact oriole]

idk after 20 years of the same shit finally even the last fans were getting kinda annoyed

[sinful cobalt]

I would be more surprised if they wouldn’t use AI but they do

[cold anvil]

Yeah I guess so, I’m just still very salty about the discontinuation of LCE

Been keeping track of a few LCE projects

Lot of promising progress being made!

LCE is legacy console edition btw

[outer pollen]

It wasn’t me who was wrong, it was the world!

[cold anvil]

I mean yes and no, still really weird after they notoriously and deliberately got rid of studios by merging them into the cod studios and not using the resources they very much clearly have

No crash bandicoot 5 ;(

[hot spire]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09WJsb-N_04

[compact oriole]

every dev/publisher of a failed game these years lol. even highguard some higher up blamed players for their failure

[outer pollen]

Didn’t the Days Gone dev say some crazy shit at one point too?

[cold anvil]

I feel like there is 100% a difference between being confident in a project you’re excited for and blindly following the next “big thing”

[hot spire]

meanwhile the breakout success have done the literaly opposite of every c-suite

[cold anvil]

Yeahhh

[compact oriole]

i found this "Days Gone's former creative director, John Garvin, made controversial statements blaming the game's middling reviews on "woke reviewers who couldn’t handle a gruff white biker looking at his date’s ass" in a 2022 Twitter thread. He also listed technical issues and lazy reviewers as other factors, sparking backlash for dismissing critics rather than addressing flaws."

so i guess this time it wasnt the chuds, it was the sjws according to him

didnt the game do fairly well tho?

[outer pollen]

Yeah this lol

[compact oriole]

https://i.imgur.com/ehuMWfC.png

[cold anvil]

I dont think I heard anything bad about days gone, just felt mostly ignored by the majority

[cold anvil]

Yeah

[compact oriole]

if i go on metacritic now and the score is bad, hes actually right. ill check

[outer pollen]

I enjoyed it myself

[hot spire]

because it was console only for 2 years

[compact oriole]

not as good as steam but seems alr to me

[cold anvil]

Even then games like the last of us had major impact before their pc releases

[hot spire]

i ment to respond to the pic of the steam reviews

[compact oriole]

what i garnered from days gone at the time is that it was nothing special, but these reviews seem really good

[cold anvil]

Oh alright mb

[hot spire]

it wasnt great on relase for ps4, lots of issues

it got a shit ton of bug fix and polish before pc release

[compact oriole]

it did twice as good as spiderman miles morales on the steam launch (both sony games)

[sinful cobalt]

Still one of my favorite game

[compact oriole]

oh makes sense then

pc players got to play the 1.0 release instead of beta testing the game

[hot spire]

also it liteerally outsold god of war and horizon zero dawn at launch

it just pittered out over time

[cold anvil]

Real bummer that it appears sony will be stopping their pc releases, chances for gran turismo on pc has lowered exponentially

[compact oriole]

thats crazy. id have never guessed that

[compact oriole]

im still coping that schreier is BSing

how are everyone else moving away from exclusivity, capcom saying how insane PC gaming is these days but sony will go back to walled garden

shift up (stellar blade devs) seem to even want to stop the timed exclusivity with sony for sb2 cz they wanna insta release on pc

[hot spire]

pretty it was the best selling ps4 exsluisve of 2019

[outer pollen]

I'm sorry friends

[cold anvil]

Gran Turismo would out sell Forza if it was on pc
Ik thats comparing apples to oranges but I believe this is the truth
