[grizzled quarry]

Forza needs interior customization

[cold anvil]

How’s forza

[grizzled quarry]

@cyan pewter roads actually look a little smaller

Actually looks like your moving at 80 lol

[grizzled quarry]

So far all the bike models ive seen in game are just s1000rr's

Didnt know japan was balling like that

[cyan pewter]

w skill issue

[grizzled quarry]

Didnt they increase the degrees for wheel?

Up to 540 now

Or was that just for the in game wheel not input

[cyan pewter]

no its 540 in game

theres still 900 degree control

[grizzled quarry]

Oh I thought forza had 360 control on fh5

@cyan pewter 720s just drove past my house👀

[cyan pewter]

😋

[cold anvil]

The game looks beautiful

[grizzled quarry]

Is that an evo 3👀 👀 👀 👀

@cyan pewter

[cold anvil]

I think I was able to do high settings with RT on low at native 1080p on my 3070

[grizzled quarry]

Holy fuck

[cyan pewter]

yessir

[grizzled quarry]

Finally older evo gens

First person acrually looks tolerable now with 540 degree in game

W pole

[cyan pewter]

im stuck

[grizzled quarry]

😭

[cyan pewter]

oh shit ive been looking for this street

for photos

@grizzled quarry love the exhaust gas detail

[small comet]

not hard to find given the intro event is marked on the map

[cyan pewter]

man i really need to get a new wheel n shi

logislop shifter keeps missing 4th

[hollow zephyr]

moza shifter and wheel good

I also have their pedals and handbrake

[grizzled quarry]

fb rx7

holy

rotaries sound better than fh5 did

[cyan pewter]

@grizzled quarry brb

[bright fox]

The only thing I dislike about this game, is taking photos mid-race or in general, it's so distracting. The shots turn out so dreamy. And also, I wish the smoke had more particles when doing burnouts; other than that probably my GOTY

[cyan pewter]

you get exponetually more smoke the longer the burnout is (same with drifting)

[bright fox]

it sort of comes close but not quite like this pic, and the front wheels are in motion in photo mode, which kinda looks goofy imo

[cyan pewter]

oh that much smoke

[bright fox]

lol, yeah, probably explode my gpu

[compact oriole]

is reddit only ded for me?

[grizzled quarry]

Aussie burnouts 🔥 🔥

[grizzled quarry]

I modified the anount of smoke on beamng to make it more realistic

And my pc was getting like 50fps

[cyan pewter]

how the fuck do i do this shit

[grizzled quarry]

Time to v12 swap a rally car

💀

[cyan pewter]

might actually ahve to

[hollow zephyr]

uber wide tires too

I wonder if EV modified for rallying has enogh accel to be able to hit that tho

they already have per-wheel traction and torque control.

[cyan pewter]

god

a v8 swapped porsche sounds so wrong

i dont even think that was gonna work

great so none of the cars worked

[bright fox]

ha! I really gotta get around to playing BEAMNG but my shrinking brain, just can't compute not driving licensed cars. I love the physics on Assetto Corsa and I imagine BNG is even better(?)

[cyan pewter]

ah

the FE miata that i dont have yet works

[bright fox]

try the 94 MX-5 FE with traction control on, I can't remember what the top-end speed is, but does power out of corners like a demon

[cyan pewter]

i dont have the miata

[bright fox]

😭

[cyan pewter]

i never saw it

[bright fox]

I won't spoil the location, you'll eventually run into it 🙂

[cyan pewter]

im 90% sure it spawns at the ||festival drag strip||

the thing is

idk how long it take for aftermarket cars to restock

[vivid wharf]

why is this spawn point so stupid

[cyan pewter]

ok so restarting the game restocks it

i dunno if it changes it

[cyan pewter]

holy fuck im broke

[vivid wharf]

how do I drift up in this thang😭

[cyan pewter]

holy the fe miata is fast

[bright fox]

lol I know the feels

[bright fox]

I'd take that spawn point over loading the game back in the estate, with an un-skippable cutscene driving down the driveway. Shit is so annoying but that's on me for not changing location

[vivid wharf]

it just feels like they didnt even do these side quests themselves lol, random ass spot to spawn, and the place is kinda bad for drifting, but thats a skill issue on my part

[vivid wharf]

at least there's fast travel if you want to get back to previous spot

finally done with this stupid quest😭

[small comet]

it barely does it btw

[small comet]

that one was easy

[cyan pewter]

i cleared it by like 20mph with the miata

[small comet]

idk i barely got 10kmh above it

maybe my tune is a bit off

i just threw smth on it that made it go weee

[bright fox]

I haven't driven that Miata properly yet, I'm still hooked on this monster

[grizzled quarry]

I find beamng has better physics for drifting, and crashing obviously

[vivid wharf]

this is my first forza game and I was struggling
maybe for drifting you need to disable all assists or smth, I only have traction controll I think

[grizzled quarry]

But ac does tire physics way better

[grizzled quarry]

You want no assists for drifting

• manual with clutch

I do abs/tcs/esc off, simulation steering, manual with clutch

[vivid wharf]

why clutch? ima noob to driving in general

[small comet]

i cant drift for shit apparently since i cant clear 3 star on any drift zone but that one was easy cause i can just drift wherever

[grizzled quarry]

So you can clutch kick

Help keep the rear end out + makes smoother transitions

[vivid wharf]

guess I have even more neurological links to build in my brain

its gonna be tough

[small comet]

im glad i finally have the last speedtrap with the miata tip. also finally got to use another after market car besides the subaru breeze monstertruck baby combo

[vivid wharf]

are you on controller? what would you bind clutch to? and how your shiting is bound?

[grizzled quarry]

I use bumpers to shift and y for clutch

Handbrake on b

[bright fox]

sounds like me, drifting feels like an entirely new genre of game. No doubt the car balance has to be on-point. I have no issues feathering the throttle but holy fk, my counter-steering is ballz

[cyan pewter]

i got in a hillclimb car and forgot it had downforce

[small comet]

ok so adjusting the tune it seems im just also shit at drag tuning

lesson learned dont tune your own cars

[vivid wharf]

real😭

my drifting experience is from gta san andreas multiplayer, driving an Elegy and helping the power with nitrous

[cyan pewter]

onto danger signs now

[small comet]

welp only drift zones left for me then

guess i can move onto boards/mascots and roads

smth for relax tony to do

[grizzled quarry]

Deleted any of the drifting clips I had from fh5 🥀

I was pretty decent at it

[small comet]

maybe one day theres some glitch for ez drift pts or they lower the 3 star points

[cyan pewter]

technically the cheat is using an awd drift car

they get more points and easier to drift

[small comet]

i tried that with the ae86 and i couldnt reach the 3star points

also imo the formula drift ferrari is so far my favorite to drift (if what i do is actually drifting)

[cyan pewter]

which zone

[small comet]

any

lol

[cyan pewter]

the one i had the most trouble with was this one

[small comet]

yeah that one i actually didnt even try

but the 2 in tokyo no bueno, tries some in the mountains which was no bueno

like

im just too stupid i think

[cold anvil]

why is it's brains out

[grizzled quarry]

Big engine little car

[cold anvil]

I see

[grizzled quarry]

Miatas come with like a 1.8l i4, that i believe is a hellcat engine

Or a big block chevy

[small comet]

what i learned today is you just use one of those big ship diesel engines and your car goes wroom

[cyan pewter]

welp

im up to drift zones now

danger signs was ez

the joys of gambling

[small comet]

the long trailblaze was fun

although i did a run of it where i sort of cheezed it i think by taking a tracktoy down the mountain and then racing to the goal on the highway

[small comet]

at least you didnt get the xp shutoff sound and 2x 20k

[cyan pewter]

dear god offfroad drift zones are awful

who decided this was a good idea

okay so the hack is to just hold the handbrake

[cyan pewter]

oh my god i still have so many offroad ones to do

[vivid wharf]

https://tenor.com/view/черный-gif-8284575235000460429

the 85 points needed for 3 stars

[cyan pewter]

86* if i got one less i wouldve missed 3 stars

another close one

these offroad drifts are getting to me

1 drift zone left and its on road

finally last wristband

ok

that was hella anticlimactic

@grizzled quarry ima do one lap of goliath and call it there

holy ai rubberbanding

[cyan pewter]

long ahh race

[grizzled quarry]

makes me miss the fh3 goliath race

[cyan pewter]

bro why the AI so fast 😭

[grizzled quarry]

ai is not bound by physics slingshots past you at 800mph

[cyan pewter]

yeah because fuck tire physics

[manic owl]

the fh6 tire physics are great tho

[cyan pewter]

@grizzled quarry ima hop off now

[grizzled quarry]

aight

[cyan pewter]

gotta let the pc cool down

cya

[grizzled quarry]

100% gpu for hours surely keeps it cool

[cyan pewter]

oh yeah for sure

gpu is <65c

[cyan pewter]

yeah some smartass joined the vc and started blowing into their webcam mic

[green dune]

Optimal.

[cyan pewter]

@small comet how the fuck did you beat the colossus with the AI rubberbanding

[hardy merlin]

https://youtu.be/FMHU87m8lLo

[fathom swift]

Nobody expected this, but it's also not that surprising

[small comet]

i tuned a revuelto i think to go as fast as it can, did some unclean racing on the first few tighter turns and then just body blocked the others when they tried to overtake by nudging them off the road

i dont even wanna know if this works on pro/unbeatable

[cyan pewter]

i just gave up and set it to the lowest difficulty

[small comet]

a skateboard in my jetset radio?

[small comet]

you see i was about to do that cause around 90% there was a speedtail and centenario that somehow had higher topspeed than me and accelerated more than me at said topspeed so i had to block 2 at once... if that had failed i would have prob also just dropped difficulty

[hardy merlin]

FH6 still has busted AI?

[sinful cobalt]

Man im still didn’t do a single race in FH6

[small comet]

its funny how the other 3 were easy af (especially the titan that i messaged about yesterday where fh6 gave the AI slicks for a cross country)

[small comet]

i did all of them and now i can relax cause all thats left to do is explore

[cyan pewter]

if you let them hit you, you get a speed boost way above what you were doing before

[sinful cobalt]

Yeah im doing exploration first

[small comet]

you also somehow get a boost when trying to steer them off the road

at least i didnt have the speedloss i expected

[cyan pewter]

im playing the same difficulty but only for that specific race i felt it was impossible

[small comet]

and yeah i played mostly on expert after the first few races and the colossus (hypercar highway round the map) was the only really busted one imo

[cyan pewter]

i tried the fxxk evo and an svj and neither could get close to the front of the pack to cheese the race doing dirty driving

[small comet]

same

i tuned all my hypercars and at the end was the revuelto that somehow worked

[cyan pewter]

i also was broke so i couldnt try anything else

the first like 30% of the goliath had some questionable AI activities

[hardy merlin]

Yeah, I was mostly playing Pro, and there always were 1 or 2 cars which would go so far ahead whenever possible, and rest would just cruise behind with no care in the world

[sinful cobalt]

If you can’t beat them kill them

[cyan pewter]

i couldnt even get near enough to kill them

and even if i did once they just go past me flat during a full braking zone

[sinful cobalt]

I do wanna try the goliath on unbeatable diff

[small comet]

goliath was the tracktoy one right

[sinful cobalt]

Idk i don’t have it unlocked yet

[small comet]

yeah it is

that one was easy even on expert. i just used the old trusty tacoma fe

[sinful cobalt]

I mean i do have access to the fxxk evo

[small comet]

imo the tacoma drives far better due to its insane downforce.

[sinful cobalt]

I don’t really bought any cars yet

[small comet]

tacoma is part of the welcome pack i think

i didnt buy it either

[hardy merlin]

Does it still clip into the road at over 350km/h?

[sinful cobalt]

But first im gonna finish the road exploration

[sinful cobalt]

I don’t know

Kek profile

[buoyant osprey]

Lately I beat Clock Tower, Clock Tower (2) and Clock Tower II
The series is really bad so far. 3 is the final one then I'm done with the series

I expected more from a game series with such a famous title

[compact oriole]

Why do you keep going if they're that bad

[buoyant osprey]

I like playing through series

And I like Haunting Ground which is unofficially Clock Tower 4 (5 technically)

[outer pollen]

I do it to hate on a game even more

What are you gonna tell me? “You didn’t play it?” Nah bro I did and it’s trash

[hardy merlin]

You gotta have ammo to hate on something

[compact oriole]

[compact oriole]

Wdym, you can just claim smth sucks and insult people without playing it

That's how it's works on social media

[hardy merlin]

And on most gaming outlets

[vapid lintel]

Destiny 2 sucks

[vivid wharf]

real

[novel umbra]

so uhhh

got steam controller now

but I can't play fh6 with it since I have the windows store version

[small comet]

add it to steam

[novel umbra]

well about that

can't get it added with the overlay, which is what would make it work apparently

[small comet]

lol

[novel umbra]

idk why you can't just set the steam controller to just be an xinput device

[hardy merlin]

Try tinkering with Desktop configuration, it may be working now on Windows
Should work as long as Steam is open in background

[novel umbra]

yea my desktop configuration is just a gamepad

but I can't get that to work in games or even html5 gamepad checker

steamless controller allows for inputs but has no rumble for some reason

[compact oriole]

If there's no valve solution maybe the kinda SW you use to get PlayStation rollers to work when the game doesn't support d input?

[novel umbra]

that would be basically this

[small comet]

did you add the game and the launchhelper?

idk if it has the weird 1 thing starts another thing

[novel umbra]

it does

not sure how I would add both

[small comet]

id just try adding both as a game

hoping steam catches on

[novel umbra]

not even sure how I would add the launchhelper tbh

[compact oriole]

Is it an .exe?

[novel umbra]

I had to use UWPhook to add the game itself

[small comet]

afaik you can just add the exe no?

[compact oriole]

Did you buy a cheap key or why on Xbox app?

[hardy merlin]

There's no .exe with UWP apps and games

[compact oriole]

[vapid lintel]

There is no .exe in Ba Sing Se

[small comet]

idk just looked up a video about how to add it to steam and they had exe files

[buoyant osprey]

https://youtu.be/9Ot8KS3GXVw

I was so disappointed when I saw the latest remake of this had a super generic REmake camera style. Made me not want to even play it

[compact oriole]

Ai recommended this. Sounds promising

I'ma save this myself in case I order a steamroller

[novel umbra]

https://github.com/Alia5/SISR

was superseeded by this, seems to work, lemme check it in a game really quick

[lucid brook]

ive seen sisr being recommended

[novel umbra]

works better, but for some reason the rumble is really muted

[small comet]

still think its funny theres no xinput mode in the steamcontroller

or even dinput

[trim rock]

Valve really thought injecting input through the overlay was the ultimate most reliable way

[compact oriole]

I actually assumed they'd use some kinda standard xinput driver so at least the standard roller stuff works at all times

[quiet vault]

bro kinda noisy

[novel umbra]

also other thing I want with this controller would be an option to turn the stick axis

this is the input when I push it what feels like all the way to the right to me

[compact oriole]

nah. raising prices on their sub

[vapid lintel]

Of for their service not the device

[stiff fiber]

Have you heard about the xbox helix?

Apparently it will be worth a 3000 euros pc for 1000 euros

Something like that

[barren pewter]

that sounds like the funniest thing on the planet
genuinely

[cyan pewter]

fh6 so good

2 more dirt races and im done

then gotta move to cross country

[sinful cobalt]

i wish i could play more than 2 hours of FH6

[cyan pewter]

nothing is stopping you

[sinful cobalt]

boredome is

[cyan pewter]

just drive around and explore

[barren pewter]

find all the treasure cars and barn finds

if you haven't yet ig

and by that I mean unlock the barn finds and drive around to find all the treasure cars

barn finds take
two minutes tops lol

[sinful cobalt]

i discovered like 330 roads

but i just can't play more today

[stiff fiber]

Season of marathon end in two weeks, I am level 70. If I reach level 100 before I can get a title and keep it for next season but for doing it I need to play I think something like 40 or 50 hours

Dont know if I will be able to do it and I dont want to force myself to do it and end up at like level 99 and no reward

[cold anvil]

I heard some conspiracy about them doing it for the launch of gta 6

[compact oriole]

im sure thats true..

aight i got myself pc pass and now preloading fh6

[cyan pewter]

driving with wheel in fh6 is a lot better than i remember it being with fh5

[vivid wharf]

does all your moza stuff work fine?

[cyan pewter]

i didnt buy moza yet

im still on g923

[compact oriole]

did that work plug and play?

[cyan pewter]

yep

had no issues with it, steering is a bit heavy but i think that can be adjusted

[compact oriole]

nice. i cleaned up my setup and cant wait to use it :3

[cold anvil]

Moza wheels are partially supported and will get full support in a later update

[cyan pewter]

finally

touge time

[sinful cobalt]

[vivid wharf]

any showers taken?

[cyan pewter]

yeah in fact i took my time with doing all the races

[barren pewter]

tbf there's not that many races nor are they particularly long

[cyan pewter]

yeah

[barren pewter]

like
if you sat down with the intention of doing each one
it wouldn't take more than a few days

most of em are 3-5 minutes to complete lol

it's a matter of unlocking em all, and actually doing em

[vivid wharf]

just made a food delivery that needed 10 seconds for 3 stars and was across the road lol

@fringe salmon what's your take on this

[fringe salmon]

?

online price going up by a dollar in this economy seems to be quite normal

you also need to redo every race to get post clean rival lap

[hasty belfry]

My Steam controller shipped on the 5th

Still hasn't arrived 💀

[trim rock]

Damn what happened to the logistics, Valve's been pretty good in the past from what I've experienced and heard

[hasty belfry]

I sent them a message, I saw others got a free game as compensation for late shipping.

[compact oriole]

it was for shipments routing to uk when they were on the mainland. but can still try for sure

[hasty belfry]

Well

Mine seems routed to Narnia so we good there I think

[stiff fiber]

Narnia?

There's plenty that arent part of the festival

Idk if you realize there's all the touge and street racing events that you just discover by driving

but that dont count towards festival xp

[maiden tulip]

You also played fh4 after it got a bunch of stuff added through free updates

Like forza 4 had 350 events and then through updates it got up to to 600

If we're just counting races, FH4 had 70 base tracks

Fh5 had 98

FH6 has 100

Oh well, RIP Nixxes, no idea why Sony bought them

[compact oriole]

Why'd they buy Bungie

[sinful cobalt]

Bungie should have been bankrupt

[hardy merlin]

Instead of releasing games on PC and earning a lot of money - because like previous SIE CEO said, it's like printing money
They still try so hard to make a live-service game that will in their pipe dream conquer Fortnite
Sony is doing so many Ls lately it's insane

[mellow garden]

They’ll just make ports and updates for older PlayStation games, probably.

[sinful cobalt]

Oh

[compact oriole]

They claim they don't make that much money on it. But maybe if they made so games and didn't wait 5 years to port em it'd be better

[ivory dune]

I really wanted Bloodborn :(

[hardy merlin]

They claim that
Investor reports say completely different story

[sinful cobalt]

Imagine if instead of 2 shitty live service game we gotten two better story driven game

[fallow bronze]

maybe in 6 years we'll get sony games again ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hardy merlin]

No!

[compact oriole]

The timeline where they didn't waste all their good studios times on LS bs would be crazy

They fucked a whole console gen for nothing

[sinful cobalt]

I mean the console didn’t even get any games

[compact oriole]

Exactly

[hardy merlin]

HMMMMM

[compact oriole]

What came out specifically on PS5? Demon souls, ghost of yotei ds2. Smth else?

[hardy merlin]

Astro Bot

[sinful cobalt]

GT7

Idk about returnal

[compact oriole]

Was second horizon game a ps5 game?

[compact oriole]

Right. Returnal too

And now saros

[hardy merlin]

It's funny to see that some things haven't changed and won't change
Be it 1996 or 2026, Japanese still can't into PC

[novel umbra]

GT7 came out on ps4

Returnal also released on pc

[compact oriole]

Ye.. also kinda crazy the claim their shit makes no money. China is basically only PC and mobile

[compact oriole]

Ye later. We were talking about ps5 specific releases

Regardless of PC port

[sinful cobalt]

I mean China winning with Gacha games

[compact oriole]

Ye but they're a huge market to miss out on. Pretty often their review bombing will sway the whole rating on steam

For example slay the spire 2

[hardy merlin]

Oh noooo, I can't do A10 run anymore on a random deck, I have to think for once, oh noooo

90% people doesn't care
But that 10% will be swayed by "influencers" and will review bomb the games

[compact oriole]

Apparently cz of how censorship works over there they have no other option to communicate. So they do it via reviews

[sinful cobalt]

Tbh i kinda wish that sony even with a live service game would have made a gacha game

[hardy merlin]

Given they own like 70% of anime and all that they could make gacha about basically any franchise

[sinful cobalt]

Or just make a new entry into the Persona universe

[hardy merlin]

Sony already killed so many studios because of their "I want live-service waaaaa"

I'll never forgive them for what they did to Evolution

[mellow garden]

Reading some of the recent negative reviews for Helldivers 2, a lot of complaints regarding out of touch developers AND a toxic player base.

World of Warcraft, is that you?

[hardy merlin]

Out of touch developers make sense, as most of Arrowhead moved to new project, while a lot of work on HD2 is now outsourced
But toxic player base? Bruh - a dude challenged devs to play on diff 10 to show them that they are going too far with nerfs. Offered to donate $1000 to any charity of their choosing if they succeed. HD2 community decided to doxx him, harass him, his employer and volunteer place where he was helping. They are fucking insane.

[compact oriole]

I keep wondering if the huge backlash for Sonys bullshit account stuff they tried to patch in after the fact is part of the reason they're stopping sp game ports

[mellow garden]

The HD2 community doesn’t deserve what they have/had.

[hardy merlin]

HD2 community deserves to be tied in a bag and repeatedly beaten with a reed

[mellow garden]

I don’t really think that’s a big deal.

The largely declining sales figures are a much bigger sign.

[compact oriole]

Well any port made more money than any of their shitty LS attempts apart from hd2

The guy who spearheaded the PC ports left last year. It's joever

[sinful cobalt]

I not gonna be worried bc after GTA 6 hype dies down their sales are gonna get a crit hit

[mellow garden]

They’re going to sell many consoles because of GTA VI not being on PC this year.

Plus given rising PC hardware prices, I wonder if some people will stick.

[hardy merlin]

HD2 was a phenomenon that they had no idea what to do with
No one expected the game to be that popular

[compact oriole]

Idk why Rockstar is still doing it like this

[mellow garden]

Millions double dip

GTA Online also makes considerably less revenue on PC.

[hardy merlin]

So much money and they still can't afford dedicated servers

[mellow garden]

If Sony are smart (they’re not), they’d be implementing a self-service refund system which matches Steam’s functionality.

Double whammy to tempt some of the remaining physical buyers into buying more digital games while also equally one of Steam’s best features.

[compact oriole]

Really? I'd have thought it's the biggest in PC. But maybe that's just rp/5m

[hardy merlin]

As for now GTA Online PS5 earns about 6x more than PC, but also has about that many more players

[mellow garden]

Even with the price increase to £790, the PS5 Pro is very good value for money IMHO.

[vapid lintel]

Strong disagree

Don't forget the required monthly subscription...

[hardy merlin]

They need to be consistent
Steam is successful because you buy stuff - you have stuff, there's a problem with your stuff - support will help you
On PlayStation there were several controversies about their DRM and ownership approach in last few years already

[sinful cobalt]

Ps5 pro cost the same as a 9070 xt

[mellow garden]

Only one of those is a complete system

[hardy merlin]

And yeah, $900 for a 6 year old console in this economy is a joke
Switch 2, a year old console, is half that

[vapid lintel]

It's the end of a console cycle, the hardware just isn't competitive even after the recent PC part price increases

[sinful cobalt]

And the console doesn’t even have any games

[hardy merlin]

Still - $900
The biggest advantage of consoles is that they were cheaper, and companies made money as they went
But now, console is $900, PS Plus is $80 to $160/year, games are $70~80, and there's way less discounts than on PC
It's just greed at this point

[quiet vault]

consoles got games

[sinful cobalt]

I mean sure i will gonna buy a PS5 and GTA6 but the Ps5 Pro console isn’t worth it

[quiet vault]

will normal ps5 even have 60fps

[mellow garden]

The PS5 Pro won’t have 60 FPS

[hardy merlin]

1080p should have
1440p/4k? Eh...

[mellow garden]

Rockstar target other areas which keeps games at 30 FPS

They’ve done this with their initial console releases for years

[hardy merlin]

GTA V on PS3 targeted like 15fps

[quiet vault]

im sure they can do 60

[hardy merlin]

Meh
I will wait for PC release, crack to play the story, and then I will buy it down the line for $10 on Steam 5 years from now on

[quiet vault]

sounds sad

[hardy merlin]

So many games to play nowadays

[sinful cobalt]

I paid 20€ for GTA5 in 2018

The game full price was 30€

[compact oriole]

How do, if you don't care about mp and aren't that hyped to buy a console

[quiet vault]

gta5 still was physical

[hardy merlin]

I think brother gifted me mine in like 2023

[quiet vault]

crazy

[mellow garden]

Cringe

[quiet vault]

thats the wrong road

[mellow garden]

PC gaming deserves to lose developer support purely because the community is ass and way too brazen about piracy. And that’s said as someone who grew up playing PC games.

[hardy merlin]

That's rich coming from you

[compact oriole]

More cringe than buying a 600 dollar console to play 1 game at barely 30 fps?

[sinful cobalt]

We gonna wait for you in 2036

[quiet vault]

or wait for xbox helix

[hardy merlin]

Price the game reasonably and don't be greedy - I will happily buy your game
And then AAA studios wonder why piracy is still growing

[ivory dune]

You can't park there mate

[mellow garden]

$70 USD is a fair price

[compact oriole]

I think 70 bucks is ok tbh. Personally I just don't care about GTA enough

[hardy merlin]

$70 magically becomes over 80€ in EU

[quiet vault]

for a story game its kinda a lot

[compact oriole]

I can see that being 80. But don't think the rumored 100

[hardy merlin]

Yeah, and 80€ is just too much for me for a single game - I can go and buy like 4 really good indie games or like 3 older AAA games on discount for that and have a lot of fun too

[compact oriole]

I agree 80 for a base game is outrageous

But keys exist so that's how I offset that

I don't mind paying full price for good games without denuvo, but 80? Cmon

[sinful cobalt]

I can see GTA 6 Premium or Collectors edition will be 120 and 180$ easily

[compact oriole]

They be firing half the game industry staff to save money and replace through AI for bigger margins. I don't see a good reason for price hikes when many of em ain't even worth the 70

[sinful cobalt]

I happily bought blops 7 for 30€

[compact oriole]

Sure but that's already become standard

[sinful cobalt]

[hardy merlin]

The difference now will be that Collector's Edition won't include the game

Just in case you were wondering

10/10 Lana post

[hardy merlin]

Oh yeah, Forza, waiting for discount on it too

[compact oriole]

Can't wait to try it tonight. Waiting for work to be over

[cold anvil]

Im piggy backing on some friends who pre ordered it

[quiet vault]

even more discount

they should sell gta as a story game and then online separately

[sinful cobalt]

I would love that with cod as well

[compact oriole]

With how much money online prints they be better off not going over 70 imo

[hardy merlin]

Online would be free
They'd earn so much money of off MTX
No wonder they are practically giving away GTA V too

[cold anvil]

That would just mean a $70 game with $50 online then you’d have to also pay for the online subscription on top of that

[quiet vault]

nah story 50€ max

a week or two of gaming aint worth that much

[sinful cobalt]

GTA 6 gonna cost 70-80€ easily

Love it or hate it

[cold anvil]

Honestly with that mindset I don’t think you should play games at all

[quiet vault]

i just dont like overspending on story ones

[compact oriole]

Well if he never buys sp aaa games at launch price he doesn't game like that

[stiff fiber]

For me a game is ok if you pay 0.50 euros by hours or less

[cold anvil]

Piracy or sketchy key site, choose your poison buddy

[quiet vault]

gamepass

[compact oriole]

I'm good with 1€ per hour. If it's exceptionally good I won't care about the ratio tho

[cold anvil]

Gamepass is super lameeeeee

Like wadaya gonna do with all those games??

[quiet vault]

the value is great atleast

[mellow garden]

I’m ready for $100 USD to be honest

Rockstar always cook

[compact oriole]

Nothing. You play the ones you bought the pass for for a month and cancel

[hardy merlin]

I don't like €/hr ratio, some games are long but boring as hell, some games are short but amazing

[mellow garden]

I paid £90 for RDR2 Ultimate Edition on the PS4 back in 2018, it was worth it.

I’m happy to spend that again for GTA VI.

[cold anvil]

Makes sense to me

[quiet vault]

with that ratio, online games would be expensive as hell

[mellow garden]

That ratio is how we got Ubisoft open worlds

[stiff fiber]

I mean a game has to be amazing and cost 0.50 euros by hours or less

but that is not a lot of game

[ivory dune]

I don't grade my games by price/hour spent

I just enjoy them or I don't

[quiet vault]

im more interested in gta online then the story tbh

[hardy merlin]

I spent 15€ on a game, I played 5 hours of it, equals 3€/hr, but it was amazing, so worth it for me

[compact oriole]

Well but then you wouldn't play it if it's lame

[sinful cobalt]

I put more hours into OSU than any games that i bought

[hardy merlin]

Well, true

[ivory dune]

I just don't think thinking in price/hour sparks happiness

[hardy merlin]

Dead as Disco sparks happiness
I paid full price and still feel like I ripped off devs

[compact oriole]

How's actual quality and hz for gaming?

[quiet vault]

idk

[buoyant osprey]

Vision Pro isn't as low persistence as alternatives

[compact oriole]

Wdym by low persistence

[quiet vault]

but very high res and stuff

[buoyant osprey]

It means the frames are displayed longer at equal framerate since it uses weaker strobing. Lower persistence is better as it means motion tracking blur is reduced

[compact oriole]

So less smearing?

[buoyant osprey]

Less motion blur on eye-tracking yes

Higher refresh rate means each frame is displayed for a smaller amount of time which improves motion clarity. Strobing/BFI reduces the time each frame is displayed without having the game render more frames. All VR headsets use this

Otherwise the motion would be awful

It's why the Valve VR headset beats any oled monitor

Valve Index 2 has 0,3 ms of persistence according to the owner of Blurbusters. That's equivalent of an oled running at around 3333 Hz/fps

[verbal nymph]

Hopefully frame is the same

[quiet vault]

its only one part tho

[buoyant osprey]

Do you sometimes wish monitors had the superheating function that ovens do where they heat up to 500 celcius to burn food off? Monitors could heat up to 500 celcius to burn any stains off
Someone make this before it's patented

[buoyant osprey]

Yes but it's very important

[buoyant osprey]

One thing I find it amazing that so many games don't do properly is timing audio. Many games have moments where someone's dialogue is interrupted, but the actual interruption often takes a full second or more to happen. «Hey where i-» ...(2 second silence) «shut up!»

[buoyant osprey]

Here's an example: https://youtu.be/moW4wLlZnHk?t=292

[compact oriole]

Games older than half the people here

[hasty belfry]

This is a massive issue on newer consoles, you're kinda "forced" to use 5.1 uncompressed regular PCM or you're fucked and that's IF the audio is actually synced in the source.

[buoyant osprey]

More like older than 80%

low latency streaming of pc game running on pc but you play on any other device

[compact oriole]

Ah ok. In my case my tv is hooked up to my PC via HDMI anyway

[scarlet marlin]

it is a EU copy tho. Just think they didnt really release the others

[hardy merlin]

pimk nails

[compact oriole]

I'd sell this so fast

[buoyant osprey]

Is it a good game? The most expensive games are often not good

[scarlet marlin]

maybe its an NA thing?

[small comet]

wait that game is expensive? i can get those for cheap at a local gameshop

time to resell in canada

[scarlet marlin]

im pretty sure I have more expensive game copies besides youkai watch

which is indeed not that expensive here

[pure bear]

ig mine are my pokemon games

they do get pricier

complete with the box or?

[small comet]

i got enough pokewalkers

[scarlet marlin]

oh haha

I will keep an eye out for you then whenever I see retro game stuff

what are you max willing to spend?

[fringe salmon]

to think I had bought the HG/SS combo box and threw that thing away like 5 years ago or so lmao

that probably would've beena few hundred now

[compact oriole]

I sold all my GB games n such at GameStop for pennies when I was still a kid..

I still have my og ruby and sapphire I think

[fringe salmon]

oh I still have the games but I have both hg/ss and they came in a special box that contained them both

[small comet]

prob around 60-80eur but also only if its the EUR cartridge

[scarlet marlin]

got it

does the language on the cartridge matter?

[small comet]

thats why its EUR

multilang european version

[scarlet marlin]

yeah but it could be you just wanted EN EU one no?

thats what im asking

[small comet]

they should all be the same if the cartridge ends in EUR. the box and manual should be the only difference for those

[proper basin]

Mustve been a lot of steps since you get 1xp per step lol

[small comet]

like that

[compact oriole]

Wasn't there some shit where the German one has a diff game version all together? Maybe that was for older gens

[scarlet marlin]

theres quite a few on vinted for around 25-30 euros

[small comet]

they still do and thats what i have its a NOE one

[small comet]

question is if they are real or not

the fake ones dont work with the pokewalker cause they dont have a shell that lets IR through

its why people do stuff like this to make the sale credible

you can see its the original cardridge cause of how it lets light through and is the weird red color

[scarlet marlin]

well you can always ask the seller to send you a pic like that as proof

first glance they look real (or very obviously fake)

[small comet]

vinted has dms?

damn

[scarlet marlin]

yes

[proper basin]

Learned something new

[scarlet marlin]

"ask seller"

[small comet]

i mean theres more ways to determine if a ds (not 3ds) cart is original nintendo or not but for HG/SS thats the easiest

[proper basin]

Yeah i just didn’t know that for hgss

[pure bear]

hgss is the one i dont have

[small comet]

https://www.ebay.de/itm/157922682591

for german peeps you could try this (pay with paypal just in case its fake, only ships in germany)

[proper basin]

Wish i had my old ds pokemon games all i have now are y and ultra moon

[small comet]

yikes

[small comet]

found one that already had an image of it

expensive shipping cause its from italie but total less than 60eur

so if anyone wants a NOE HG copy i will soon also have one lol

This what I was saying to people in arc discord but they didnt believe me

[latent oracle]

I mean arent cheat devs actively trying to crack any ac they can?

[cold anvil]

Yeah but I assume its like

[bleak pike]

Different

That's drm

[cold anvil]

The harder stuff is more desirable

[cold anvil]

Oh ok

[grizzled quarry]

Denuvo anti cheat has been bypassed for years now

Shits no better than eac lmfao

[hasty belfry]

I ordered this but also the dock from 8bitdo,

[cold anvil]

For what vanguard does it’s good but I under the dislike for it and the conflicts it may cause to other software
China, take all my data you cane have it

[hardy merlin]

No wonder they are looking into other solutions, extraction shooters are very high stakes, and there always be some losers which don't want to play with the rules

[hardy merlin]

Not as bad
With not properly implemented EAC cheaters can literally control other people PCs
Remember Apex Legends tournament?

[bleak pike]

Ironically destiny 2 used to basically have no hackers but as soon as it moved to steam it got riddled with them as they abused steam systems or something.

When they added battleeye I was so annoyed

[latent oracle]

Yeah no i remember the sudden influx that was WACK

[grizzled quarry]

That wasnt due to eac rce, that was 2 players having infected pcs from downloading shit their viewers sent them

[bleak pike]

People flying on snipers like brooms

[grizzled quarry]

There is literally clips of one of them getting sent something, downloading it and running it, then saying wait what did I even just download

From a viewer 😭 😭 😭

[latent oracle]

Only good thing out of that was the amouny of exotics i dropped from raids cause they were insta killed

[bleak pike]

EaC wasn't exploited

[bleak pike]

Oh I didn't join randos

Never have

Had the same team since forever lol

[grizzled quarry]

This is what im saying, they got ratted it wasnt an eac rce

[bleak pike]

I meant to reply to the other person

Or well cals

[latent oracle]

I did my clan was so pvp focused you'd feel bad for the suffering they put themselves trough but tbf was mostly the lfg servers

[latent oracle]

And sherpas actually i had a sherpa cheat once

[bleak pike]

Fair enough, the original clan I was in as mainly pve a dedicated Sherpas but our team split off from them.

I've been playing with that team since 2019 lol

[latent oracle]

Oh thats cool my clan was mostly even d1 xbox sweats i used to play with but since then ive quit

Somewhere arojnd last dlc it turned really bad i think

[bleak pike]

D1? The later dlcs saved the game

Although rise of iron definitely wasn't as good as taken king lol

[latent oracle]

No d2

[bleak pike]

Ah

[latent oracle]

Like i think after that wiers little new ghost guy i felt the game dying

Dlcs didnt feel new anymore

[bleak pike]

Witch queen?

https://tenor.com/view/destiny2-destiny2the-witch-queen-hive-ghost-crush-gif-23101368

[latent oracle]

Yeah

[bleak pike]

That was one of the best expansions to date!

[latent oracle]

From witchqueen d2 started getting like avarage imo

[bleak pike]

Oh ye

[latent oracle]

Yeah no i meant like after that

That was the last dlc that was good

[bleak pike]

That's what made beyond light so bad, witch queen was a sign of good things to come

But they shat the bed

[latent oracle]

Yupp

[bleak pike]

Although I did enjoy the last two expansions

Story wise

[latent oracle]

That and the cheaters in trails

[bleak pike]

TFS I was disappointed with

[latent oracle]

I legit bought the last one couldnt get in it and cried about ky purchases

[bleak pike]

And will die on a hill shouting it sucked and is overrated

[latent oracle]

Tfs was just trying 2 hard

[bleak pike]

Terrible ending to the light and dark saga

Just terrible

[cold anvil]

I remember when VRChat added EAC to their game and every pcvr player was fuming because they all used modded clients that enhanced the game and made it run better

[bleak pike]

Bitch

Although I agree

[latent oracle]

Yk i think sunsetting and removing leviathan was the first sign of it mabey being a little cooked

[bleak pike]

Most people were sad about losing their porn stuff

Lol

[bleak pike]

Well it's back!

Just not the raid XD

[latent oracle]

That

[bleak pike]

And it's recycled from when they brought it back temporarily

And model ripping

To be clear I was always against adding eac

[latent oracle]

Oh god happy i quit

[bleak pike]

We decided to do all raids flawless as a fair well

[cold anvil]

I think they added it because people kept on stealing private avatars that they most likely spent a lot of time or money working on, but even then EAC didn’t solve that issue so it was pointless
The most those bad actors would do is steal avatars or just crash your game

[bleak pike]

We ended up doing most first try that we didn't already have or someone else didn't have.

-_-

Eg I was missing one raid flawless

So now we are back at square one, thinking of excuses to play.

[cold anvil]

Destiny 2?

[bleak pike]

We are going to do raid roulette with random gear next

[bleak pike]

Ye

[cold anvil]

Never touched it in my life, did I save myself?

[latent oracle]

Lowkey sounds fun i did exotic roulette

[bleak pike]

I would argue no

Past wise

Current yes

[cold anvil]

So I missed out on the prime of a really good game that has gone to shit?

[bleak pike]

Destiny will always have a special place in my heart.

[bleak pike]

You missed multiple primes

[cold anvil]

https://tenor.com/view/ahem-shit-loser-seriously-gif-5731140

[bleak pike]

Eg forsaken era
Shadowkeep eh
Beyond light 💀

[cold anvil]

Ig thats on me

[bleak pike]

Beyond light was a rough one

Sunsetting everything

Fun raid though

[latent oracle]

Forsaken goated

Not goated is doing riven legit with that heavy exotic bow

Is riven still cheesable?

[bleak pike]

They truly butchered it trying to make destiny 2.5

The horrendous portal system

[bleak pike]

Always will be

[latent oracle]

Yeahhh

[bleak pike]

But personally I don't see the point

[latent oracle]

Oh awsome

[bleak pike]

It's one of the most fun battles in the game

Why deprive yourself

[latent oracle]

To qoute my fav titan riven cheese = more crayons to eat

Anyway what class did u main?

[bleak pike]

Hunter but I used to play all classes

But mainly hunter

Since d1

[latent oracle]

I was hunter in d1 then titan in d2 till like forsaken when i was like i wanna be like cayde n didnt switch back since

Only played warlock for the gliding

Have u played marathon ive heard people call it the new destiny/destiny killer (not that it needs killing)

[bleak pike]

I have and don't really enjoy it

It killed destiny because it stole all the resources

[latent oracle]

Istg the edits i see about it make it seem better then it is

[proper basin]

That’s just the remaining destiny community who are committed to bungie trying to help it stay alive

[stiff fiber]

I play it ask me any question

Btw I play marathon but never played destiny

Because I am into extraction shooter but never really been into other shooter

[proper basin]

One of the most fun raids besides scourge

Though ron gets close

[latent oracle]

I wanna know how much d2 nostalgia a player would get rumours said a bunch but idk how much i trust them

[proper basin]

Only thing you’d get is the gunplay

[latent oracle]

Ive been joybaited :(

[proper basin]

Closest activity being cryo archive

But it’s still an extract shooter before anything else

[latent oracle]

Hmm ill put it on my consideration list

[stiff fiber]

They are going to change the game with a PvE mode maybe you guys coming from destiny will like it

Right now honestly it is a really difficult game

[cyan pewter]

@manic owl first car pass car dropped

[manic owl]

iirc that is not 100 up to spec

[manic owl]

well i mean the livery itself is completely off

[cold anvil]

Forza 6 is making my gpu hot asf

I’m surprised the performance is very consistent

It peaked like 79c at some point

[manic owl]

its not the worst

[cold anvil]

Yeah I just never seen my gpu pushed so hard even on UE5 games

[cyan pewter]

mines always below 70

[cold anvil]

The difference is I have a 3 year old 3070 and you have a 9070xt that came out this year

[cyan pewter]

ackually its already been a year

[cold anvil]

Damn

[proper basin]

Your old

[cold anvil]

Yeah :(

I’m running rt high at 60-75 fps

Dips to to 40-45 when its raining

[manic owl]

hmm i do not use rt at all doesnt seem worth it to me

i cranked everything else to ultra

[cyan pewter]

RT in fh6 has too much noise

[cold anvil]

Native 1080p with dlaa

[cold anvil]

Doesn’t amd have a denoiser?

Cant you force that on?

[cyan pewter]

i also think that SSR looks better than RT

and SSG

well either way im running lossless scaling so free fps

[cold anvil]

Speaking of

Why is there no amd frame gen, its only nvidia

[manic owl]

i might do that tbh

[cold anvil]

Thats so weird

[cyan pewter]

natively im getting 90-95 but with lossless 3x im hitting 260

[cold anvil]

I hate being American I keep on driving on the wrong side of the road

[quiet vault]

[hardy merlin]

It really does
They did amazing job with it

[quiet vault]

yall gotta be trolling

https://tenor.com/view/smart-monkey-listening-monkey-speech-bubble-dumb-lion-lion-yelling-gif-977388511909412427

[bleak pike]

Scourge was fun because of the sparrow part

Other than that it was super small
