[compact oriole]

how much was the key

[outer pollen]

51$

Since I got 20% off through humble bundle

[cold anvil]

You got the deluxe edition too 😔

[compact oriole]

eeeh. hard to say because forza is more arcadey and has a huge open world. but gt would 100% do really well

[cold anvil]

At least it was for charity

[outer pollen]

Toss a coin to your bungie!

[compact oriole]

gt is sim right?

[cold anvil]

Yeah thats why I made the apples to oranges comment lol

[cold anvil]

Yes!

[compact oriole]

man xbox gave up on the console war. sony y u (maybe) do dis

[cold anvil]

I don’t fully mind but thats only because I own a ps5

I just prefer pc because it’s a much more powerful system

I mean not by a lot compared to the base model ps5

[compact oriole]

exactly. even if i did have a ps5 i wouldnt wanna play those games on it

[cold anvil]

But it’s still better

[compact oriole]

im really not down for the 30-60fps experience

[cold anvil]

Yeah this is exactly how I feel, only incentive I have is if I really want to play the game asap

[cold anvil]

Hot take but 30fps isn’t that bad, atleast in terms of more narratively focused games. Not saying that games shouldn’t be optimized well but that it’s perfectly fine to play at that framrate to get the most visual fidelity possible

[nimble current]

yeah if its a single player game that isn't fast paced action 40ish fps can be fine imo

[cold anvil]

100%!

[compact oriole]

i think many console mains would agree with you. personally i couldnt imagine

[cold anvil]

45 is definitely the sweet spot

[nimble current]

maybe, I haven't had a console since the first half of the 90s if you don't count a psp for a few years in the 00s

[compact oriole]

if im at 60 i will already look for dlss options or other ways to increase fps

[nimble current]

yeah 30 is a bit dire even for me, I'd like at least 40-45 minimum

[cold anvil]

We spoil ourselves with the technology we have 😔
Thats how I see it atleast lol
If your preference is running games at high fps thats more than great

[nimble current]

we're unbelievably spoiled today for sure

[compact oriole]

was gonna say. im super spoiled in terms of fps

[nimble current]

I grew up gaming on 90s PCs mainly

[quiet vault]

good news

[compact oriole]

for the first time in my life in recent years i went for the best hw you can buy. i never thought itd go that far..

[nimble current]

when people say they can't game at anything below 120fps I just laugh

[quiet vault]

@cyan pewter

[cold anvil]

In the 3 years of owning my mid range build Ive learned to appreciate it and come to terms that I don’t need a crazy high end build

[compact oriole]

well times and standards change too^^ i started on the super nintendo with super mario world 3

had a shitty notebook that would play some games at 30-50 fps too

[nimble current]

its just very game dependant to me, games requiring fast reflexes and movements is painful even at 60fps to me

I want at least 80-90 there, preferably higher

[cold anvil]

I find it quite amusing

[sinful cobalt]

Markiplier setup is insane for RE reqium

[cold anvil]

The doom the dark ages in question

[compact oriole]

these days the fluidity adds to the perceived quality of the picture just as resolution or details do for me

[cold anvil]

Yeah I was very aware it was crazy but not this crazy

[compact oriole]

even if i dont need 120-240 fps on a turn based game itd feel bad to play it at 60

[compact oriole]

what gpu does he have? rtx something 6000?

[cold anvil]

Absolutely diabolical

[sinful cobalt]

RTX Pro 6000

[compact oriole]

thats the "pro grade" version of the 5090, right?

[cold anvil]

Last I heard he had a 4090

[compact oriole]

95gb vram

[cold anvil]

That was like a year ago though

[cold anvil]

For all the freddy fazbears with ray marching on

[compact oriole]

seems he upgraded since. to a card that also handles editing workloads better i guess

[cold anvil]

You wouldn’t get it, very integral to the franchise

[cold anvil]

Oh yeah I was hearing he made a bunch of super computers for Iron Lung’s VFX

[cold anvil]

Or something like that

spoiler btw

[compact oriole]

lool gpus surged so much, mine is 1000€ more expensive than when i bought it in september

[cold anvil]

I thought they were better than ever lol

[lone cosmos]

https://tenor.com/view/arstartes-warhammer-punch-gif-17798443

[compact oriole]

they were until the AI memory of all kinds shortages. nvidia gpus were actually down to msrp in sept

[orchid prism]

Today is a good day for the empire.

[cold anvil]

I got my 3070 for like $475 in mid 2023 brand new
They go for like $300 used now
Dunno bout brand new

[compact oriole]

crazy resell value

i still have a 3080 lying around. should check how much i can get for it atm

[cyan pewter]

[sinful cobalt]

Im still mad that i never bought that 4080 for 700€ back in 2024

[cyan pewter]

does that mean its adjustable

[nimble current]

cheapest 5070 here is like €140 more than I paid early december

[cold anvil]

Literal gold. Would’ve lasted you a decade.

[compact oriole]

ye the smart people invested in ram and gpus instead of stocks or etfs

[vital wren]

Go back in time
And when you are already back in 2024,tell me to buy multiple DDR 5 RAM kits

[nimble current]

while you're there tell past me to buy 64gb ddr5 instead of 32

[cold anvil]

Yall think in the future people are gonna praise the current/slightly older cards and put them in as highly regarded like they do with the 1080ti because the market will have probably gone to shit even more by then

[sinful cobalt]

I would tell u to buy 192gb and sell it

[nimble current]

hey now am not made of money

that would have been too rich even when it was cheap

[compact oriole]

wouldve been worth to take out a loan for that

[vital wren]

Go in debt to be a millionaire

[quiet vault]

for the devs atleast

[small comet]

pokopia time

[quiet vault]

whats that

[cold anvil]

When the time comes. You need to let us know if it’s the best pokemon game ever.

Real image btw

[verbal nymph]

ahh, only took 13 years

[compact oriole]

what did? a game with the same score? cz thereve been more pkmn games

[outer pollen]

Pokemon X and Y

such goated games

[cold anvil]

Under appreciated with lost potential

DS1 of pokemon games

Strong start with a weak mid to end

Story makes up for the weak part

[ivory dune]

I didn't even think sun and moon was any good :(

[hardy merlin]

3rd gen was peak, 4th gen was still good

[cold anvil]

I dont think there ever was a “bad” mainline game, not even mid either just things they definitely could’ve done better

Solely mainline, not spinoffs, remakes/remasters, or rereleases

Pokemon fanbase is soooo biased

And are so quick to change their minds in a couple of years as soon as the majority is like “this game mainline game that everyone hated on release wasn’t too bad actually”

Pokemon games are all fundamentally the same

And the bias stems from which generation of games the person started playing

So there never really is many nuanced or much level headed takes

[sinful cobalt]

I will stay natural

[ivory dune]

Shield sword was badge

As was the whole sun and moon thing for me personally, toooooo much childishness. Which is funny since it's pokemon

But I felt like a kindergartner in sun/moon and shield/sword

[sinful cobalt]

I know 5 pokemons and the intro song lyric

[ivory dune]

Whereas in violet I felt cool

[cold anvil]

And I could say that you’re wrong
Having an opinion is fine. It’s the way people portray their opinions as fact which is a different thing
I’m not saying you’re taking your opinion as objective fact I’m just making more of an example
But you can understand what I’m trying to say here

[sinful cobalt]

For me all the pokemon game feel like that

[ivory dune]

Hold the phone, you are however implying that I am, I don't like being taken as an example. I take specific care to always note it's how I feel and my personal opinion

So yeah, tldr I don't like being implied I base my opinion as a fact when I deliberately go out of my way to not do so

[cold anvil]

You right thats my bad I deeply apologize. I was trying to get more at how the general fanbase is

[ivory dune]

I hope you understand, because we're saying the same thing

I agree with you

People fight over opinions when they're deeply subjective

[little cape]

scarlet and violet sucked

[ivory dune]

That's fine

[cold anvil]

Yeah I’m sorry man, very grateful that you can understand

[ivory dune]

I spent a lot of time shiny hunting in violet

[little cape]

i just hate it for the micro stutters and gltiches for an offline game

[ivory dune]

Oh yeah, that's very much true

[cold anvil]

[little cape]

if it didnt have that i wouldnt hate the game

[ivory dune]

I would respawn zones constantly to get shinies and the switch did not like that

I do have fond memories

Like a shiny charmander day one, hour one after the charizard was released

[cold anvil]

The framerate issue is the whole reason I couldn’t get through the game, but I am willing to give it another try because I have the technology given the means to actually play the game now (switch 2)

[ivory dune]

By sheer matsuda method hatching

And while I personally hates uh, Shield/Sword

I enjoyed the 4 player coop fights a lot

Even if we all abused it to shiny hunt

[cold anvil]

I enjoy how pokemon incorporates new features into the franchise, even having a whole spin off series based on being experimental

[cold anvil]

Great googly moogly

[ivory dune]

He needs a hardhat. Very nsfw

[cold anvil]

I find it quite humorous how many RE fans larp the franchise cause the characters are hot

!remindme 1 week Marathon stats

[hot spire]

10/10 they look so retarded

[outer pollen]

Yeah just finished the tutorial again

[compact oriole]

54k peak rn. i really think withoutthe server slam this wouldve been 75k today. feels like a big mistake to give people the chance to reconsider

[outer pollen]

[compact oriole]

can you buy skins in the game with real money?

[trim rock]

I am pretty sure that's a thing because that's just modern gaming

[compact oriole]

its live service, you have to have mtx to cover servers and ongoing dev. im just asking cz some guy i talked to claimed they wouldnt be selling skins apart from bp before release

which seemed.. like bs

thats exactly what i imagine a magicarp thinking

that feels like an insult

toward the magikarp

[compact oriole]

ye that was mean. i take it back

[grizzled quarry]

Magikarp can at least form a sentence

[nimble current]

those aren't great numbers honestly

did only americans and canadians buy it or

[outer pollen]

it was the number one seller in both of these locations lol

yeah bungie fumbled the deluxe stuff

no one has gotten it I think the littel extra cosmetics

[hardy merlin]

Interesting battle

[vital wren]

I think marathon will end like concord

So slay the spire 2 wins over time anyway

[outer pollen]

you can tell there's a lot of arc raider dumbfucks on Marathon

fucking potato ass awareness

[compact oriole]

ah yes. everyone has good awareness apart from people who play arc raiders

[grizzled quarry]

All the pve morons

[exotic musk]

DONT SHOOT

[grizzled quarry]

Thinking they can play an extraction shooter and not get shot

[vapid lintel]

Friendly?

[grizzled quarry]

Aggression based matchmaking on arc got them too used to carebear lobbies

[vapid lintel]

I've experienced a friendly lobby once

[hardy merlin]

So kinda predictable to which game these "morons" and "dumbfucks" will stick

I put my account in them whenever I wanna just go loot shit (usually when im low on certain items like shields, good bandages, raw mats, etc)

[little cape]

maybe take a break from gaming (i dont mean this in a ruin way)

[sinful cobalt]

But why ?

[little cape]

you been buying games lately and not enjoying them attack

[compact oriole]

its ok we all wasted money on a cope

[sinful cobalt]

U should have spent that money ob more gacha

[compact oriole]

[outer pollen]

This is probably the least stressful extraction shooter ever made

[grizzled quarry]

So true

[outer pollen]

Like you get so much shit

[nimble current]

that doesn't make it a good game

[outer pollen]

I'm doing runs to legit die and clear up space

[grizzled quarry]

Whoever green lighted that are style should be publicly shamed

[compact oriole]

how is it more chill than the extraction shooter that is known for being a coop pve game in solos

[nimble current]

quite the contrary imo, I think there's already way too much junk to collect in arc raiders

[outer pollen]

Cause as the game is right now, I see a week tops before people move on

[grizzled quarry]

Hey now this is only if you dont shootnpeople

If you actually shoot people its a proper extraction shooter

[compact oriole]

well ye

[outer pollen]

idk why the reviews on steam and reddit are hyping the game

[compact oriole]

well on steam i can tell you why

[outer pollen]

You'd legit have to be a new born to think this game is like good

[nimble current]

paid shills probably

[trim rock]

Because it's new and exciting

[nimble current]

people huffed up on copium thinking it has to be good because bungie

[compact oriole]

on steam the reviews are good because all the people who werent gonna review it well didnt buy it after trying the server slam. so reviews are more positively coded

whoever didnt enjoy the slam didnt get to "try" it with 40 bucks down but for free

[grizzled quarry]

If you talk badly about player numbers you get a 1 day mute/ban in marathon server apparently

Or mention arc raiders even

Is a mute

[compact oriole]

kek

[nimble current]

yeah I saw that, arc raiders was banned from mention

apparently it was the same in ingame chat

[compact oriole]

[nimble current]

say arc raider is fine, arc raiders not

[outer pollen]

Like it's not bad but it's also not good, the TTK is crazy short and you have no roll if you wanna slide you have to initiate the running, but by the time you do you'll be dead

[grizzled quarry]

Did they not learn from cods mistakes with mw2022

[compact oriole]

i mean, not having a roll in this game seems fine to me. its fps

[grizzled quarry]

People dont like fast ttk and not being able to move 🤯

[outer pollen]

if you get caught by 2 players, you're literally deleted before you can even react

[nimble current]

I was so disappointed seeing marathon at #1 on US/CA sales, but hopefully these airheads learns something when the game is dying in a few weeks

[outer pollen]

I guess that worked for Hunt because the fire rate was a lot slower?

[compact oriole]

i legit think the terrible art style holds this game back the most. gameplaywise i think itd pull in all the cod plebs and destiny 2 enjoyers

marathon looks and feels like the cod of extraction

[outer pollen]

I am Vulcan

[compact oriole]

the gameplay* not the art style

[nimble current]

like sure people are allowed to waste their money on whatever they like and everything, but they just fund more of the practices they claim to dislike so much

and make the gaming industry overall worse for all of us

[compact oriole]

well its not like 80k ccu for a game that was probably 9 digits is good

and id be surprised if the player count was even half in 3 weeks

i dont think we will be seeing many more hero shooters (apart from the ones that are too advanced to cancel now)

[nimble current]

probably not

but the industrys shitty anti-consumer practices will probably remain for longer

[outer pollen]

modern gamers killed my favorite game series, now I'll kill gaming

https://tenor.com/view/marathon-bingus-game-bungie-gif-13820901045642077774

[compact oriole]

those will never change because people keep spending money on mtx when they enjoy the game

[grizzled quarry]

Its also probably #1 on refunds rigjt now

Sooooooo🤷

[compact oriole]

well ca is the most mentally challenged state in the US so it checks out

[nimble current]

what's a modern gamer?

one that's not a racist misogynist?

[compact oriole]

nah they just racist and misantrist

[grizzled quarry]

Did he not mean Canada

[compact oriole]

oh, probably. i assumed cali

[grizzled quarry]

However your statement is extremely true

Lmfao

[nimble current]

tbh that goes for the entirety of the US

[compact oriole]

also "modern gamer" obv doesnt even exist seeing as all those types of games failed and the industry largely stopped making them

[nimble current]

its just different flavors of it depending on state

[compact oriole]

the modern audience is a made up group of people on reddit and twitter who act like they care and then dont buy your product

the biggest gaslighting of devs ive ever witnessed

actually thats not true.. its devs making games for themselves and not finding an actual audience

[nimble current]

it was a psyop to tank the AAA industry all along

based af

[compact oriole]

people definitely want this. and they will definitely want to buy skins for that

[nimble current]

tbh I want that just to see the gaming community screech

[compact oriole]

im smelling lay offs

[nimble current]

triggered gamers are the best

[compact oriole]

are you talking about the people who hate or like this lol

[nimble current]

the people who hate it

[compact oriole]

cz the people who hate it, will be feeling pretty good when it inevitably is doa

[nimble current]

well they get snubbed, and triple A studios get hurt

its a win-win as far as am concerned

fuck them both

[compact oriole]

maybe all these games are just money laundering

[grizzled quarry]

With some of the slop thats being released, wouldnt be shocked at all

[nimble current]

"gamers" are some of the most entitled crybaby bitches on this planet and they should get reality checked more often

[grizzled quarry]

I dont think its entirely their fault though

[nimble current]

and so should the soulless lizard people corpos

[grizzled quarry]

With how poorly some of these devs treat their games/communities i dont really blame them

[nimble current]

tbh the way they act they deserve every bit of it

manchildren the lot of them

[grizzled quarry]

What specifically are you talking about though

Like with how they act

Because theres a lot of justified complaining but also a lot of unjustified complaining

[compact oriole]

we are the customers and theyre supposed to make games for the customers. these AAA companies have stopped making games for the customers and made games for investors and for themselves. promoting positive toxicity where within the company you cannot even voice your concerns about the bullshit they make and employing people based on identity instead of skills that are more concerned with self inserting and forcing their stupid views on people rather than making games that people want.

[nimble current]

if they don't like something they'll go after, harass and dox individual developers for things they have no control over

[grizzled quarry]

Okay yeah that kinda stuff is absurd and should never happen

[compact oriole]

thats like a small group of mentally ill people. its not like this is a wide spread "gamer" issue

[nimble current]

they love to attack race, political affiliation, sexuality and the likes of people who just show up to work and do what they're told by some dipshit ceo who wants cheap diversity points

[grizzled quarry]

A lot of them are targeting the wrong people though

Even if its less insane stuff

The hate isnt directed where it should be

[compact oriole]

well doxing is never ok unless its someone doing crimes

[grizzled quarry]

Yeah

[nimble current]

these people has never had any real connection to others or understand how the world works, they'll just sit in their dungeon and mope about how games aren't catering to them anymore

its just antisocial entitlement syndrome

[compact oriole]

i mean.. all games that forgot their actual demographic have been doing worse since they went the "its for everyone or modern audience" type shit

[nimble current]

its embarrassing to even admit being a gamer with these vermin continually being the loudest voices of the "community"

[compact oriole]

how you think itd have gone if shit went the other way around and all of a sudden desperate housewives is about honor, death and killing people so they can cash in on men

[nimble current]

because that's what people outside the loop sees, a bunch of emotionally behind manchildren

don't get me wrong the forced woke stuff is stupid too and nobody really wants to play that, not even the people who would potentially like that because those people rarely game to begin with

[compact oriole]

idk youre extrapolating the worst kinds of people to a whole group. i can make the exact same arguments about any group

[nimble current]

but man is the vitriol from the basement dwellers a laugh to behold

well it stands out so loudly from gamers in particular

[compact oriole]

seems more like confirmation bias. if i look for it i can find the same kinda vitriol daily from all kinds of groups

[nimble current]

am just tired of these people being the biggest voice of it all because the rest of us is too busy having a life and actually playing the games

[compact oriole]

maybe im not part of the "right" communities where theyre so vocal, because apart from the usual hate of garbage games i dont see much of it

[nimble current]

thankfully am not anymore either since a long time, but you still see their brainrot surfacing on youtube or twitter everytime some game dares to stray outside their approved boxes

someone makes a woke video game, like okay? don't play it then

[pulsar prism]

Any community large enough has people like that and gamers are a massive demographic, stay off the cesspool social media platforms where those people reside and most of them are normal

[nimble current]

but no they gotta ragebait milk it for weeks on end

and harass everyone involved

idk its just tiring to get associated with these smoothbrains

[compact oriole]

i mean.. everyone does that according to their own views. theres just as many people milking woke games positively and shitting on and insulting gamers who dont enjoy em

calling them racists, incels, nazis etc

[pulsar prism]

How about we just play the games and have fun

[outer pollen]

usually just disagreeing with someone gets you called this

You can't critic a game nowadays without people automatically assuming you hate the game

[nimble current]

cretins buying into the culture war hoax orchestrated by the billionaires to keep us bickering amongst ourselves

[compact oriole]

its because you kill the argument directly by attacking the people

you put a derogatory flag on people calling them names and if you react to it you lose because now youre tryna defend yourself rather than talking about the argument

[outer pollen]

The game has an exploit on the deluxe edition

[small comet]

thats when you just release reviews anyway as a united front of ethycal journalists with integrity

[serene orbit]

Schadenfreude

[small comet]

but alas we dont have that in our world

[small comet]

finally

[hardy merlin]

All ethical journalists with integrity are being killed by CIA

[small comet]

or just shunned by the rest of "journalists"

or even the publishers in this case by denying future early access review copies

[outer pollen]

There's a lot of post for Marathon that are people doing giveaways

Which I find really weird

"Asmongold said this game would fail, so I'm gonna prove him wrong and giveaway 100/50 copies"

[orchid prism]

Jesus christ. It's just an endless stream of popups trying to get into the game 😄

Puts WWM to shame.

It looks so messy. Should have gone with the Titanfall movement and gameplay sans Titans, and not done yet another looter extraction shooter.

[outer pollen]

The weapon stickers and weapon charms are by quantity as well

So you can’t use the same one on another weapon unless you have duplicates

[stiff fiber]

I am playing it and enjoying it. It is not as good as arc but still a good game

[outer pollen]

That’s how I feel

It’s just okay

Like not good or bad, but also doesn’t have anything unique about it

[stiff fiber]

I think the issue is people are comparing it to arc. Arc raiders is en excpetional game

[buoyant osprey]

Just being okay will not keep it afloat

How long do you think Marathon will live?

[stiff fiber]

We will see maybe seeing how it does they will make some changes

[outer pollen]

It’ll live, Bungie has been in some crazy scenarios with Destiny 2 and still survived

Like when D2 didn’t have enough players for proper matchmaking, the game is still going

[buoyant osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/reisen-udongein-inaba-floop-floop-gyate-gyate-touhou-bun-bun-gif-20361582

[stiff fiber]

I would be for giving the game some month to see how it goes. Now would have been better for them to run an opened beta

[hardy merlin]

Bungie is entering the very same very defined niche as Arc, so there will be comparison and competition between them
Those are live service games, so there's not really a situation where they can share the same playerbase, at most a very small part of it

[outer pollen]

“The studio that brought you Halo and Destiny!”

[stiff fiber]

I know I will play both

[hardy merlin]

Marathon is funded by Sony though, and it's up to them when to pull the plug

[stiff fiber]

I prefer having two games to play than one

[orchid prism]

So a flip of the coin. They've been rather finicky? as of late.

[outer pollen]

Wouldn’t Sony have been able to pull the plug on Destiny 2 as well though? Or I guess that would depend on the contract when they took Bungie right

[stiff fiber]

They should just have run and opened beta, listen to player feedback and adjust. Somehow I feel the beta is now

[hardy merlin]

Yeah, they mostly funded D2 themselves

[stiff fiber]

It all depends if sony want short term profit

[outer pollen]

I legit see them bleeding numbers by the end of the week

[buoyant osprey]

I'm not sure how to feel about Marathon. The art direction doesn't look that good to me

[hardy merlin]

They showed time and time again that they do
They want live service game that will be instatnly popular and dethrone Fortnite

[stiff fiber]

I used to hate it but playing I am impressed. What I do not like is that maps feel empty without life and I think it is due to the design of the game. Also I find it much more difficult than arc

[scarlet marlin]

@small comet thoughts and feelings about the game now? I assume you put some hours into it yesterday?

[outer pollen]

How Tony looks irl right now

[small comet]

its fun

like lots of fun imo

more than animal crossing

idk if itll have the same sort of long time playability as AC though

like houses build in like 16minutes or such for small pokes (idk big house times yet) and the rest like steps and such is more like MC where you put blocks down you craft

worth it but only if you already have a switch2 imo

[stiff fiber]

which game are you talking about?

[compact oriole]

Pokopia

[stiff fiber]

oh ok thank you

I find the switch 2 a little bit expensive

[scarlet marlin]

I would like to think they keep expanding on a game liek this

surely

[small comet]

yeah well depending on if they do or not it could be upgraded to being worth to get a switch2 for

but where i am in the game rn and what ive seen its not there

[scarlet marlin]

yeah theres still enough to play for you right

[small comet]

yes

this is basically just my opinion after whats like 5 or 6hrs of gameplay

[scarlet marlin]

well I asked for your opinion so all good!

thank you!

[hardy merlin]

HDR on OLED is gorgeous
Plus I had no idea that my GPU would just shrug off 4k native like that, I like it

[buoyant osprey]

What gaem?

Been playing BG3 lately with a friend at native 4k and my 5070 actually handles the game decently well at such a high resolution with max settings. Feels nice

[hardy merlin]

Death Stranding
I thought I'll finish it properly before 2 releases

[vapid lintel]

That's the Amazon Prime simulator right? \

[sinful cobalt]

Yes

I played the intro for that game and that was it

[hot spire]

https://youtu.be/0inbi3nByJE?si=H11cfanZhzySOmrl

What could it mean?!

Wonder if Hytale got to him XD

[orchid prism]

I wouldn't put it past him. Nostalgia for simpler times in MC when it still had that magic.

[nimble current]

tbh that was more because it was a relatively new thing at the time I think

[orchid prism]

I mean now

[hardy merlin]

I think Steam doesn't like HDR screenshots

[nimble current]

no I ment MC was magic because the concept was pretty novel at the time, kinda hard to recreate the same thing with todays experiences

[hot spire]

the real question is, if he makes a new game is a it a minecraft clone becuase he sold mc to ms?

[hardy merlin]

Just like Fortnite is a Minecraft with battle royale now he should make Minecraft with extraction shooter

I wonder when we'll get extraction shooter mode in Fortnite

[cold anvil]

Dude you are absolutely frying your 5070

[cold anvil]

Im excited, game has lots of potential!

[nimble current]

nah the 5070 is stronk

[hot spire]

no even close. 4k high was 60-80 fps at launch on 5070

[cold anvil]

it only has 8gb of vram does it not?

[hot spire]

5070 is 12gb

[cold anvil]

oh shit guess Im stupid

[hot spire]

ti is 16

even 4070 was 12gb

[cold anvil]

I knew the ti was 16 I just assumed nvidia was on their same bullshit again

[hot spire]

3070 was 8

[cold anvil]

yeahhh thats the one I have

[hot spire]

1070-2070-3070 were 8gb

it was the 4060 youre thinking ov

[buoyant osprey]

I wouldn't mind a card with more vram. Probably saving for the next generation of GPUs

[scarlet marlin]

my 4070 ti has 16 too

[nimble current]

speaking of, I should put my 4060 up for sale

gpu prices have kinda plateued for now

[hot spire]

4070 =/= 4070 ti

[scarlet marlin]

thats why I mentioned the ti ;)

[nimble current]

4070 thai

[scarlet marlin]

[hot spire]

then why even mention it then?

[nimble current]

the 16gb of 5070ti woulda been nice, but didn't feel like paying €300 extra for 4gb more vram

[cold anvil]

knowing the 5070 has 12gb of vram makes it more desirable............

[nimble current]

is gud card, am happy with it playing at 1440p

[hot spire]

i got a pny 5070ti at msrp

[scarlet marlin]

just trying to help ok im sorry

[hot spire]

tax free

[nimble current]

I got my 5070 below msrp

also a pny

[hot spire]

msrp on ti is 840 euro though

590 euro is msrp on 5070

[cold anvil]

nvidia finally released drivers for re9 a week after release 🫠

[nimble current]

yeah I paid ca €490 for mine converted from sek

[hot spire]

it just terrible what they do to yall

[sinful cobalt]

Actually no

4070 ti super had 16gb

[scarlet marlin]

ah my bad, forgot the super part

[nimble current]

I'd rather have affordable healthcare than cheaper gpus honestly

[hot spire]

i paid 650 euro for 5070 ti

[hot spire]

mine is free

[buoyant osprey]

I think there were ones around release but they made performance worse and were removed or something unless I'm thinking of something else

[nimble current]

well that's not the case for the vast majority of americans as am sure you know

[hot spire]

skill issue

[sinful cobalt]

All nvidia drivers from this week had some issues

[cold anvil]

Yeah I heard that too

Was urgent to revert drivers if you’d installed the update already

[nimble current]

also my meds is like $1350 a year without the high cost protection we have here

[sinful cobalt]

Im pretty sure that they tried to use AI to code this driver again

[nimble current]

instead I pay ca $300 a year

[hot spire]

mine are zero

[nimble current]

do you work for the white house or some shit

[hot spire]

kind of i guess, not any more

[nimble current]

anyways, that's special perks of some professions

not widely available to everyone

[hot spire]

profession is bold

also it literally is available to almost everyone

i was intending to try but the art style was what made me not

could probably still try it regardless but eh

[hardy merlin]

It's friday evening and during peak hours it's 50k... I mean not bad still, but not exactly what Bungo was expecting it feels like
Well, they also marketed the whole thing like they knew it's going to be a fail

[lone cosmos]

i know they had very high hopes for its release, but maybe it just needs time out in the wild?

[trim rock]

I thought all the Destiny 2 dro players would really prop up the num- oh. Destiny 2 really has fallen off huh

[lone cosmos]

Destiny started falling off a while ago, the community just made it worse

[hardy merlin]

And very questionable choices
You do not remove content in an MMO, especially paid content

[outer pollen]

Yeah I think the people playing Destiny wouldn’t pick this up, why would you fuel the death of the game you enjoy?

[trim rock]

Because they would definitely do whatever it takes to get some sick exclusive things you'd get for playing

[hardy merlin]

[outer pollen]

The community behind marathon is weird

Lots of giveaways on Steam and Reddit

[lone cosmos]

i fully agree, just sucks that they fucked themselves because i used to love playing it

[hardy merlin]

A large part of it is also a disillusioned people who think that current Bungie is just as good as it was during glory days and Halo
This company is a completely different thing for ages

[outer pollen]

The subreddit is really unhinged for Marathon

And you do have random Arc Raider players going in there and just shit talking the game lol

[hardy merlin]

Pretty much all fandom subreddits are unhinged

[maiden tulip]

[orchid prism]

Every major company is or about to. Cause there's no clear plan for repaying the illegal tariffs charged.

[trim rock]

Reddit in current year is unhinged yes

[hardy merlin]

Never thought I'm gonna say that, but go Nintendo

[trim rock]

Just you wait the tariffs will somehow become legal again

[orchid prism]

Oh he already did 15% for all countries global. But those won't cover the ones already charged previously. Gotta repay those.

"We've also gifted 150 LUX currency to all players affected by this delay." damn boy they gifted you 1.5$ in imaginary currency

thats so nice of them

[trim rock]

Damn they're spoiling those players

[compact oriole]

what can you buy with that? probably nothing

maybe a sticker

[grizzled quarry]

This ones my favorite 😭

[compact oriole]

also apparently the battlepass is gigantic bad value

[grizzled quarry]

Schizo maxxing the steam review comments 😭 😭 😭

[compact oriole]

ye

[outer pollen]

I legit don’t even know which one is Lux

They have 3 currencies

[compact oriole]

the premium currency. like vbucks

[outer pollen]

The battle pass does suck

You get a few stickers and charms, some weapon skins and 1 character skin

[trim rock]

Bad value? How? Is it one of those where you don't earn back the currency used to buy it

[outer pollen]

No premium currency in it

[compact oriole]

its the kind where you apparently dont get almost any skins but bloat bs like stickers and charms that noone gives a shit about

[grizzled quarry]

They dont even give you good shit AND it doesnt give premium creds to get another one?

Thats one of the worst ive seen

[outer pollen]

The charms and stickers is 1 per weapon, so if you wanna use the sticker/charm on another weapon you gotta unequip it

[compact oriole]

it is the worst ive ever heard about. thats crazy

[mellow garden]

Average Steam user be like

[trim rock]

Bungie just as greedy as they be with Destiny 2 then

[outer pollen]

They legit learned nothing

I am Nona

[compact oriole]

crazy.. crazy how greedy they are and even crazier how non of these outlets have any backbone.. not reviewing a game on launch cz they were asked to is madness

[outer pollen]

They want their free 40$ game!

[old glen]

At first I was gonna pick up marathon, but I might wait a week just based off the chart lol

[compact oriole]

well its not peak hours atm. they did however lose 10k ccu on a friday 1 day after release, so thats not promising

[verbal nymph]

Mmm, 2 more weeks before Crimson Dessert

[outer pollen]

I’m definitely gonna wait for the reviews on that

[verbal nymph]

Im buying it outright, I'm a sucker for games like that

I mean, getting it just for the visual + curious to see how optimized it is

[outer pollen]

I’m just wary cause it seems to be promising a lot and I hope I’m proven wrong

[compact oriole]

hasnt the review embargo dropped already?

also tons of gameplay released too

seems theyre super confident

[serene orbit]

Quite optimized from what ive seen and when i played

[serene orbit]

Kinda insane how mainstream crimson has become

[spare cave]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7b-x3iSYuZs

[novel umbra]

game is alright

from what I played in the demo it's fun tho not as fun as a left for dead or a back 4 blood

[spare cave]

Left 4 dead is classic created by Valve
Nothing can beat it 🙂

Other Velve classic games:
Portal (this is the game I like the best)
Half Life

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvZhRUsKNG4

[novel umbra]

yes it is a classic, back 4 blood has some elements that I like more I gotta say tho

after playing a bit I actually really like the perk system since it makes your runs more unique

[serene orbit]

They had devmode unlocked for me lol

[novel umbra]

?

idk which game you are talking about or what that actually means

[serene orbit]

In the demo for toxic commandos the dev mode was unlocked so i could noclip everywhere

Just a random tidbit

[novel umbra]

from what I played I was not huuuuge on the progression it offered mid-mission

inevitably your starting gear is just gonna be the best thing you could hyopthetically find in a mission with the exclusion of hte "heavy weapons" or whatever they call it

so you basically just clear out a map for the special scrap thingies so you can purchase more bs at the final stand

[compact oriole]

i liked b4b card perk system thing

but idk the game was just kinda boring

[novel umbra]

I'm having fun

if you have a unique build it can be pretty fun

last run I did I ran mostly with a double barreled shotgun with reload speed

[hardy merlin]

B4B feels like an indie remake of L4D
It was fun at times, boring at times, but you can tell something is missing
Didn't stop me to put like 30 hours into it

[novel umbra]

eh

[vapid lintel]

Welcome to the colony Cals

[novel umbra]

it has some unique systems that make is quite distinct from L4D

absolutely not saying it is perfect or the better game, but saying "it is just L4D but worse" which is what a lot of people have said about it before is not doing it justice

one thing I dislike tho is how you can tell that the latter chapters get weaker and weaker

[hardy merlin]

Yee, me 9 hours old

Do not interact with fandom of any media you enjoy

It’s sad but true

single player games are usually mostly ok

on reddit at least

Ah I remember that good old days.. wait, 1 day ago?

the complete lack of anything being done to remaster heavy, as he was literally directily imported from tf2 is the best part

[hardy merlin]

How can you improve perfection

[cold anvil]

On twitter its all about the game being bad, overrated, or the best game of all time and everyone arguing about it for no reason other than to waste time

[outer pollen]

Bungie is still the undisputed king of games

[serene orbit]

Undisputed king of bad games

[compact oriole]

dark was prolly being sarcastic. must be

cz idk the last game they made that was good

[serene orbit]

They made one of the games of all time

[buoyant osprey]

Imagine remaking a game twice

[novel umbra]

the original metal gear solid 3 remake

[buoyant osprey]

When are they remaking this remake?

[novel umbra]

I mean MGS delta is also a metal gear solid 3 remake

and as far as we know the 2 share no assets

also there was the "HD Edition" as well

[lone cosmos]

im fuckin with it

[fading spade]

Oooo gimme the boots 😍💜

[lone cosmos]

bridesmaid sandals + tycoon tights = peak

[fading spade]

Seems so 💜

Those are hella damn badass and cute

[lone cosmos]

the tights cost me 850k ingame currency too

the shoes were cheappp

[outer pollen]

Some of these randoms on Marathon get so fucking caught up with the AI enemies dude

[cold anvil]

Only reason ik of its existence is because I saw it on the wii u eshop like 9 years ago

[fringe salmon]

just missing the right glowing weapon smh

[lone cosmos]

been trying to find one that fits

they all look ass from the marketboard

[fringe salmon]

hades weapons aside most ex weapons are kinda boring

gotta go for the ult or relic weapons imo

[lone cosmos]

im in debate which routei feel like going atm

[fringe salmon]

well you can try them on from the vendors so just see which one fits the most

or well not the relics I guess but FRU or other fight weapons

[lone cosmos]

stardust rod ultima fits the theme the most

[fringe salmon]

gae bolg the arr relic is one of the drg weapons I tend to see the most

[vapid lintel]

Do you smell toast?

[lone cosmos]

my current relic is blackmages ARR relic in final form

[fringe salmon]

oh wait stardust is blm not drg nvm

[lone cosmos]

never touching ARR relics again, NEVER.

[vapid lintel]

These can't be real sentences

Do I smell toast?

[fringe salmon]

havent done a single arr or hw relic and never will

[fringe salmon]

mmos have too many big words gotta use three letters for most things

[sinful cobalt]

I feel like i should know the game but at the same time not

[vapid lintel]

I'm a proud member of the AAAAA

[fringe salmon]

nier outfit inside ffxiv

[lone cosmos]

i dont blame you, it was a slog

[fringe salmon]

its just too low level content now to farm

and its so fucking boring with all the reworks so you have like 2 buttons below lv 90

[lone cosmos]

im done with relics for now until i see one i really like

otherwise, ill just go for ultima weapons

[fringe salmon]

hope the next ult weapons are nice, fru was hit or miss

[lone cosmos]

i just have to get through delta-sigmascapes then the savage variant

to unlock the ext i need that drop the tokens to trade for ultima weapons

[fringe salmon]

well these days you can unsync and solo those xD

[lone cosmos]

doubt im high enough level

only sat at 85 and i dont have my full set of poetics gear

[fringe salmon]

ah yeah xD focus on msq first then xD

[lone cosmos]

endwalkers msq is sat waiting to start, but i wanna get everything done before i do it

Rumors of an re5 remake are surfacing with preparations of an announcement next month to be rumored aswell

Very interesting

[little cape]

you think they'll add the co-op feature?

👀

[lone cosmos]

apex now has superglide added into the game itself as a hud popup

[cold anvil]

Im not sure, hope its true. Re5 w/o co op is like peanutbutter without jelly

[cyan pewter]

i found that really weird
but you can still superglide the old way which lets you tap strafe out of it

but if you use the hud to superglide you cant tapstrafe

[lone cosmos]

its stupid as hell truthfully.

kind of nuked the ''skill gap''

[cyan pewter]

i mean theres still a lot of other bs movement tech

been so out of it i dont even know the names of them

[lone cosmos]

regardless, people use scripts for movement tech

especially octan strafing left right forwards and back and bhopping ALL whilemaintining consistent speed

[lone cosmos]

oh god

[grizzled quarry]

Its not superglides thougj

Its a shittier version that is NOT worth using over regular superglides 99% of the time

[lone cosmos]

all i know is they added it

[grizzled quarry]

Cant do lurch tech/tap strafes out of it, was mostly just for roller players to stop crying

Although you can chain it w regular superglides to do some cool shit

[lone cosmos]

meanwhile i was doing superglides on controlleer with no issue

[grizzled quarry]

Yeah I was too

Avg roller player just giga bad

[lone cosmos]

insane how they cater to them ngl

[grizzled quarry]

And cries about anything mnk can do even tho they get aimbot

[lone cosmos]

this is true

[grizzled quarry]

Majority playerbase by like 85%

😭

If not more

[lone cosmos]

fell out of love with apex when xim titans and cronus got way worse

no point me playing ranked when 99 percent cheat their nuts off

[grizzled quarry]

Yeah rewasd plagued that shit as well

Basically same thing but for pc players

[lone cosmos]

used to genuinely enjoy its ranked, minus theannoying legends

but the cheats just made grinding depressing asf

[grizzled quarry]

Apex just kinda lame asf now

Which is sad

Movement on that game is sooo good but it literally does nothing against a half decent roller player

[lone cosmos]

amen to that

[grizzled quarry]

If apex was pc/mnk only, holy fuck that game would be glorious

[lone cosmos]

the skill gap would be disgusting

i also hate aim smoothing because roller gets it so easy

[grizzled quarry]

If it was mnk only id have like 5x the playtime I have

[lone cosmos]

i got my wraith heirloom and dipped

[grizzled quarry]

Aim assist doing 80% of aim smoothing for them alongside aimbotting you
