I just dont like the oddness of a couple of the episodes

bleak pike
#

I still love it so much

bronze niche
#

like when they run into those backwoods people

bleak pike
#

and this season has been good

bronze niche
#

who talk like southeners

bleak pike
#

i dont think about all that though

#

i just watch and enjoy

bronze niche
#

that episode feels so out of touch with the universe they are in it really bothers me

bleak pike
#

Except this

#

this can fuck off

bronze niche
#

oof

#

Im not even pressing play

#

my eyes and ears wont allow it

bleak pike
#

Also the ep were they basically ruined seymour

#

forever

bronze niche
#

there is also gold

#

steamed hams

#

the only issue I have with the simpsons is accessibility

#

rather hard to watch all of the seasons

#

without buying them outright

bleak pike
#

that was before The Principal and the Pauper

#

So doesn;t count

#

and yes it was hard

#

now its not

#

if you have D+ anyway

bronze niche
#

I dont

#

I only have hulu

#

I borrow someone elses netflix

#

oh and sometimes I find something on amazon prime

#

cause who buys things from amazon but does not have prime tho

bleak pike
#

xD

bronze niche
#

maybe ill get disney plus after I get a better job

@bleak pike Have you tried...
Not playing any games for a while?

bleak pike
#

yes

#

the last month and a bit ive played a game maybe 4 times?

#

and before that i rarely played in general

orchid shell
#

It sounds like getting older to me. I've had the same problem and it sucks. I used to be able to no-life any game I was even half interested in but it's just hard to find the motivation now. I think for me it's that when I was a kid I didn't have to worry about tomorrow, now there's always something keeping me from just losing myself in the game. I don't know, micro-rant over.

bleak pike
#

How old do you think i am out of curiousy based on that statement?

#

Curious

#

When do you define getting older in this situation.

#

Im not trying to be cocky here btw, literal question.

orchid shell
#

I'd assumed based on nothing that you were mid-30s+. And really, whenever, it's different for everyone.

#

My reasoning doesn't have to be yours.

#

As far as the worrying about tomorrow thing specifically. Hell maybe games just got old, I don't know.

bleak pike
#

No I know I was just curious haha

#

I’m 24

orchid shell
#

How old are you though, out of curiosity?

#

Ah.

#

Well that sound about right to be honest. It was a little earlier for me (I'm 28).

bleak pike
#

I defiantly can’t no life games now

#

I’ve tried smaller games

#

Indie games for example I just can’t get into

orchid shell
#

Are you a completionist/perfectionist? That does me in sometimes too, I have to do everything and I have to do it right instead of just enjoying the game.

bleak pike
#

I did that with destiny 2

#

I can be yes

#

I love micro management sometimes also

#

My issue with games is there’s no clear goal for me anymore

#

Warframe for example which I loved I gave up simply because I was like what’s the point?

#

Ye but I can’t get into most of them short games

#

I liked red dead 2

#

A lot but I have no motivation to boot it up again 🤣

#

In the last 3 months I’ve played the following

orchid shell
#

Red Dead 2's controls were just... terrible.

bleak pike
#

Destiny 2 very little
Borderlands 3 for half an hour
GRIP for 20 min

#

Literally it

#

And a bit of minecraft

#

Maybe for a few hours

#

I downloaded division 2 the other day and got bored in like 20 min

orchid shell
#

I think part of it (again) is how samey so many games are these days.

#

Nice. The last campaign I played through was GTA IV around Christmas. Great game, destroys GTA V. Other than that I bough Warhammer 40k: Mechanicus last night and I'll be playing through that. What I played last night was a nice change of pace and reminded me of some older games.

young hill
#

I love micro management sometimes also
@bleak pike if you mean microtransaction how dare youuuuu

bleak pike
#

No

#

Stuff like factorio etc

young hill
#

oh nevermind

#

i take back my words and light them with a cigar

keen urchin
#

@bleak pike The reason you're losing interest is, because it's all nothing new any more. At some point, you've seen all the mechanics before

#

For me, the fix was moving to Co-op/Multiplayer games

small comet
#

but those dont have anything new either

keen urchin
#

Try UnEpic with a party, you can sink hundreds of hours into that

small comet
#

ud need friends who dont just play lol and terraria for that tho

keen urchin
#

Co-op isn't about the mechanics changing
Having a buddy to play with and talk to is plenty motivation and does away with the boredom

#

Terraria is pretty good, though

#

Wish my wife had more endurance with games, though :(

#

Factorio is another good one

small comet
#

i dont like factorio or terraria in coop

#

or single player

ripe tendon
#

lol

#

so you don't like factorio or terraria

small comet
#

pmuch

#

except addon coding for factorio

ripe tendon
#

just the way you worded it made me laugh

#

I don't like it co-op

#

...

#

or singleplayer

small comet
#

brain had to process first

ripe tendon
#

I like just about anything that has campaign co-op personally

#

But if your game has a shitty co-op special mode then fuck off

small comet
#

eh i did like presequel coop and bl2

#

but bl3 was meh in coop

ripe tendon
#

I would've liked presequel if it wasn't for the oxygen mechanic honestly

#

Or if it was altered some.

small comet
#

i mean

#

just play claptrap

#

easy fix

#

lol

ripe tendon
#

I don't mind 3

small comet
#

i expected more

ripe tendon
#

I got my moneys worth out of the story and hours but I do hate that they always give us the 4 hunters and take forever to release more

#

Just give us all the fucking hunters

#

Oh I'm sure he is. He looks like one

keen urchin
#

I need another co-op buddy

#

Or couple

small comet
#

if u say viscera cleanup

#

im in

keen urchin
#

What's that?

small comet
#

oh boi

ripe tendon
#

the game or something about MAC?

#

oh nvm, read above

#

or Embr if you prefer to put out fires and throw people

fading spade
#

How doesn't the Mac version have those features?

#

Aren't some of those native to steam client?

ripe tendon
#

did you look at the community page for more details!?

#

not much of an explanation it doesn't look like but wow

#

Cross-platform MP will not work. So the official port is incompatible with the PC version, the PC Demo, the Mac Demo, the Mac Beta, and both of the separate spin-offs.

#

RIP

#

Definitely seems like steam would handle that

fringe salmon
#

you still need to implement the steam libraries for that and if you don't do that correctly it wont work

small comet
#

really liked playing it with friends ngl

#

not even sure how well steam libs are documented for any platform but windows

#

cause tbf thats the most widely used platform

fringe salmon
#

also it might be issues with xCode or whatever you need to compile for mac now

small comet
#

im glad i dont code for mac

trim rock
#

It all works just fine on any supported platform, that's just lazy porting

#

Which makes sense, macOS is increasingly hostile towards... well everything really it sounds like

ripe tendon
#

Also for co-op there's Outward if you like open world RPG. 2 player coop for it

keen urchin
#

Anyway, we've long been trying to find another couple as regular co-op buddies
But it ain't easy

ripe tendon
#

It is not

small comet
#

if its viscera im in

#

otherwise heavily depends

ripe tendon
#

So many just do co-op poorly

weak cypress
#

I bet there's loads of people here who won't mind joining co-op once in a while.

small comet
#

we could play vermintide

weak cypress
#

I'd be down with that.

ripe tendon
#

Remnant from the Ashes is also pretty solid, imo

small comet
#

well guess i can finally not feel shit for buying it

ripe tendon
#

RIP, paid full price on release lol

weak cypress
#

I think I got it as part of a bundle or something.

small comet
#

thats reasonable af

ripe tendon
small comet
#

gmod prophunt is also nice with friends

ripe tendon
#

I, however, am a piece of shit playing shit games

weak cypress
#

Someone ought to.

ripe tendon
#

I'm a sucker for survival games and MMOs :\

small comet
#

same i really suck at mmos

ripe tendon
#

I was enjoying DDO some if you don't mind the dated look

weak cypress
#

The problem with them is the huge commitment needed.

small comet
#

na not in bdo just auto run around a city for 10days

#

easy

ripe tendon
#

PSO2 is something to do and it's free so that's nice

#

MStore though :\

small comet
#

only good mmos are pangya and fantasytennis2

ripe tendon
#

So you've neglected Flyff?

small comet
#

i never said flyff is good or did i

#

its nice depending on the pserver

#

original flyff was shit

ripe tendon
#

alot of old original mmos was shit

#

a lot of original modern mmos are shit too lol

small comet
#

na fantasytennis and pangya are godly

ripe tendon
#

even Endless Online is getting a revival

#

which blows my mind

#

last I played it (2005-ish?), Each level required double the XP of the previous to level and mobs and quest XP didn't increase

#

it was insanity

small comet
#

so

#

bdo endgame

#

but as a general concept for an entire mmo

ripe tendon
#

yah

#

Also, fuck bdo

small comet
#

thats the flyff lvling table

#

monsters stop scaling at 150 or 155

ripe tendon
#

So literally just for no-lifers

small comet
#

ya

#

so thats why i like forsakenflyff for example

fringe salmon
#

i do miss flyff sometimes

#

first mmo or even online game I played

small comet
#

forsakenflyff has a 10k times exp rate compared to original

#

and then u can do basically a level reset

#

gain a veteran rank

#

and it goes down in exp rate

#

after some point u get rewards

#

this goes down to VR90

#

which is known to have lower rates than the official servers had

#

so anyone can lvl comfortably be it grinders or normal casuals

fringe salmon
#

I did switch to a pserver eventually, turns out it was even a german run server and I ended up meeting the gm's and such at gamescom the year after lol

small comet
#

which one

fringe salmon
#

im tryin to remember the name

#

been like 8 years

small comet
#

so nice the source code for flyff leaked at some point

#

my char still exists 😄

fringe salmon
#

yeah I would definitely not remember my passwords or anything

small comet
#

well i still play forsaken every now and again

#

mainly cause its the only server that survived to this day

ripe tendon
#

Can the source for Wildstar leak now? thanks

small comet
#

just buy it

#

from the devs

ripe tendon
#

oh right, duh

small comet
#

usually costs between 15-200k

fringe salmon
#

lmao only mail I could find is a support mail to the gPotato team from 2010

small comet
#

ud get all rights to the ip and the source

#

gpotato

#

oh now

ripe tendon
#

I'd do stupid shit like that if I were rich

small comet
#

now we talkin

#

@ripe tendon same but id make the source opensource

#

tbh its a shame those old games just go into the nether

#

and never surface again

ripe tendon
#

August 2006 from gpotato, jesus

fringe salmon
#

I think the last update I really "played" was the update after the Aminus dungeon update

small comet
#

thats super old

#

jesus

ripe tendon
#

I doubt I touched it much after 2006 apart from occasional check ins

fringe salmon
#

yeah

small comet
#

and i can run that solo

#

lol

fringe salmon
#

yeah looking at some wiki, the ankou's asylum is something I didn't see

small comet
#

thats the first dungeon i did with friends

#

vr1 on forsaken

#

and i was like "sec gonna make some food" in the middle of the boss fight

#

came back 20mins later and we just continued

#

good memories

fringe salmon
#

I do remember being sad about some stuff about the roaches in the dekane mine being taken out shortly before I started iirc

#

or not coming to the eu version or so

keen urchin
#

I remember I briefly played Flyff
But that's about it

#

Sort of between DAoC and Cabal Online?

keen urchin
#

So, Minecraft Dungeons is good for someone who wants some casual fun?

ripe tendon
#

That seems to be the case. I don't think it's very long

keen urchin
#

Meh, I hoped for it to be my next fix after Grim Dawn

ripe tendon
#

I don't think it has that level of grinding but I really don't know

keen urchin
#

Wife got bored of that quickly, I think she'd enjoy Dungeons a little more

#

Maybe some future content will make it more interesting

ripe tendon
#

I think they have 2 planned DLC?

bleak pike
#

@small comet if you wanna play warhammer hit me up yo

small comet
#

#

orchid prism
#

And that's why we have 2TB NVMEs. We download ALL the games once.

#

don't mention 40GB updates pls-

small comet
#

lol

#

my games dont fit onto 2tb

#

last time my lib was installed it was ~7tb

sand merlin
#

A 2tb nvme sounds hella tight

small comet
#

then i stopped having everything installed

#

saintsrow 3/4 are also cool coop games

bleak pike
#

I just noticed that too

#

It can’t be that big

#

Holy shit

small comet
#

it is

#

60gb download

#

and extracts to ~90

bleak pike
#

It used to be like 30gb

small comet
#

prob got some massive new content

#

bleak pike
#

I bought it years ago for like £8

#

Anyway it’ll be done in 1-2 hours 🤣

#

Will you actually wanna play?

small comet
#

bleak pike
#

Gud

placid garden
#

bleak pike
#

Nothing tape can’t fix

placid garden
#

tape drives are so

bleak pike
#

Tbh tony, I’ve been starting to use my HDD

placid garden
#

oh you meant tape...

bleak pike
#

Yes

#

Tape drives are for servers haha so no I didn’t suggest that

placid garden
#

I wonder if that will make the vibration noise ridiculous

bleak pike
#

Just get some rubber or blutac

#

Ez

@hollow sphinx Which game is that?

hollow sphinx
#

starconflict

orchid shell
#

I'll have to check that out, looks pretty good.

bleak pike
#

i envy you for being able to enjoy games

fallen drum
#

@placid garden i recommend hollow knight

#

very expansive game with lots of content

#

i also recommend oneshot: a shorter game which is more of an experience than a game really, but its extremely unique and over a 10/10 imo

ripe tendon
#

anybody watch the new uh Ashes of Creation video?

#

I think it's new. meant to watch it and forgot. wondering if it's any good

bleak pike
#

Probably the same thing as usual

#

A really ugly demo with an amazing concept behind it

ripe tendon
#

Could be worse. at least it's not Chronicles of Elyria...

#

my fav game is petscop

#

Garalina really blew it out of the park with that game

#

true masterpiece in non linear storytelling

#

i love the bright vibrant shaders

#

once the exposure settles down

#

it looks nice

ripe tendon

#

wow, the audacity

fading spade
#

LEL THIS FEELS LIKE ANTIVAXXERS SAYING WE SHOULD INJECT THE DEAD DISEASE TO GROW IMMUNE TO IT EVEN THOUGH THAT IS LITERALLY WHAT A VACCINE IS

#

It's not subscription, you just buy WoW Legion every month

#

But what if it doesn't renew but you have to remember to purchase it

fading spade
#

^^ thats probably how they claim its not a subscription

hollow sphinx
#

its stupid

fading spade
#

I hate Ubisoft

fringe salmon
#

just to make sure, you know its a f2p base game yes?

quick frigate
#

Is it a reboot of Nations or Nations Forever? Or are they the same?

quick frigate
#

Whereas the most expensive TM game yet is $40 one-time, right?

ripe tendon
#

They'll fuck up the remake somehow. Turbo was meh with potential

quick frigate
#

I think TM2 is $20/env except Stadium ($10), TMUF $30 ($35 for Star Edition), Turbo $40

#

I don't know about any game before TMNF, though, but NF was free

@fading spade Chocapic does have water reflection 🙂
@gaunt lance I tried low and high versions and they didn't have it

Low and high doesn't :')

yay a trailer for a trailer

#

sigh

young hill
#

of course destiny

bleak pike
#

Im gonna complain about how shit the last expansion was

#

and how i aint buying it this time

#

but lets be real

young hill
#

I am gonna complain about how the first two dlc suck and were overpriced

bleak pike
#

Since i pay in Russian RUB it costs like nothing and ill probably just do it and repeat myself

#

lmao

young hill
#

o.o

bleak pike
#

Ye i never got D2

#

At launch

#

i knew they were gonna do the same

novel umbra
#

I got it at launch

bleak pike
#

A year later sell everything under 1 game

novel umbra
#

played the campain

#

dropped it

#

then later bought the season pass

#

and dropped it after 10 minutes

#

10/10 game

young hill
#

they locked stuff free stuff behind a pay wall

bleak pike
#

And there's me who has only invested 60 euro into the game and have had everything

#

thanks Putin

novel umbra
#

I was so lost on what to do that I cba with it

bleak pike
#

The deluxe edition of the last expansion only cost me 23 euro 😄

#

@young hill

free stuff behind a pay wall

#

Wot

novel umbra
#

yea

#

the first raid

#

ahd a nightmare version

#

or whatever it is called

bleak pike
#

But thats not free

#

LOL

novel umbra
#

which was in basegame

#

and then moved into dlc

young hill
#

there was free content before i did not get it at launch launch but close enough to get it early but a sizeable discount

bleak pike
#

Oh

#

you mean

#

Leviathan Prestige

young hill
#

as yamatoklok said

#

and i think that too

bleak pike
#

Ugh

#

Well

#

No

#

You're wrong and right

novel umbra
#

the harder version became DLC

#

the easier one stayed in basegame

bleak pike
#

Leviathan Prestige was and that was changed, but other raids in the Leviathan were their own raids.

#

Which is why they were locked behind dlc

#

Anyway, D2 launch was shitty and i only played when Forskaken came out to avoid all that nonsense 😄

young hill
#

well look even if bought the dlc it still was crap then

#

so yeah terrible situtaion but bungie signed the activision contract

bleak pike
#

As much as i hate Activision

#

They seem to get a bad wrap for Destiny

#

Bungie showed their true colors after the split.

#

They became worse.

young hill
#

yeah microsoft could have not been so bad

bleak pike
#

Their DLC practices are not asbad though

#

In terms of whats locked behind it

#

Forsaken before it went f2p was bad for this

#

A large chunk was locked behind the dlc

#

but it was a buy to play game

#

With SK most content is accessable and mostly just the story, raid and dungeon locked behind it

young hill
#

i think forsaken was new content mostly though right, i did not get to manage to play it since i returend the dlc pack

bleak pike
#

everything else is season based which most of is free

#

Forsaken was an insane expansion.

#

It really shined through

#

So much content it was insane.

#

SK is like, so fucking bad.

#

the story is just do bounties and lasts like 3 hours

#

complete joke

#

brough a good raid dont get me wrong

#

ans the dungeon is pretty fun

#

but its not worth the cost at all

#

im glad i transfrred all my destiny content to a russian steam

#

i would have regretted it big time

young hill
#

ph yeah they provided the transfer cross platform option

bleak pike
#

I could never 30 quid on an expansion

#

no

#

PC you were forced to move.

#

To steam

young hill
#

well that too

bleak pike
#

Wasn't an option 😄

#

And if you never did it before there would be a delay.

young hill
#

actually no

#

i did it like last month

#

because i do not like destiny 2

bleak pike
#

im on about during SK launch window

#

if you didn't do it before SK there would be a delay transferring stuff after SK came out

#

i love Destiny 2.

#

However

#

since SK its just

#

EH

#

i dont wanna say its a dying game bcause its not

#

but.. a lot of vets there's just no reason to play anymore and content is so damn shity

#

in 3 months we got one mode were we throw balls at a tower

#

im not even exaggerating.

#

And the rest was just doing bounties to upgrade our bunker that we gained nothing from

#

We get 1-2 3 min cutscenes each season

#

the pass itself is garbage

young hill
#

i am not surpried grinding is the extremely repeitive

bleak pike
#

90% of it is in game items we already earn 10x

#

grinding is not even the issue

#

grinding is fine if there is a reason to do it

young hill
#

well when the items mostly suck then it seems like lost cause

bleak pike
#

Last season relied on the entire play to donate fractaline which you earn

#

to unlock new content

#

it was kinda fun but poinltless

#

weeks of constant ggrindign for a 30s cutscene

#

they tried it this season and no one would do it literally

#

xD

#

so they had to just alter the numbers

young hill
#

hmm, ever played leviathan raid

bleak pike
#

ive done all raids

#

well when the items mostly suck then it seems like lost cause

This is what i mean, grinding is fine as long as there is a reason to

#

this season was the worst of them all

#

The first season was bad but a lot of people excused it because every player who got SK which was a majority got the season completely free.

#

But then it just got worse and worse.

#

Bare in mind each season is like 10 euros

#

Which of itself shows how bad the cash market is

#

considering a flair costs more than the season xD

trim rock
#

B-b-b-but Activision's the greedy company now that Bungie is free it'll be a lot better!!

young hill
#

i hope

#

but i do not think i would want to play another destiny game

bleak pike
#

Anything i cricle here is the only thing you cant earn in game

#

top is free bottom is paid pass

#

you can see how pointless it is

young hill
#

that is so dirty in my opinion so many games have like a season pass

#

not the dlc one but for a season

bleak pike
#

For example

#

this right

#

level 70

#

3x

#

i can make like 50 in a day

#

its useless rewards on a paid pass

#

and you get no currency on the pass too

trim rock
#

Eh, as someone from the outside looking in it really just looks like they're putting in minimum effort to make the playerbase cough up the money while the next big game is in development (Destiny 3?)

bleak pike
#

only bright dust which i think you get like 200

#

which can get you a shader

#

@trim rock Destiny has always made money from expansions

young hill
#

strange because some other games too and i may dislike fornite but i think you can get the next season pass if you complete all adjectives when you paid for it

bleak pike
#

And shady cash market

#

THey already confirmed nothing will come out for 2+ years

young hill
#

Eh, as someone from the outside looking in it really just looks like they're putting in minimum effort to make the playerbase cough up the money while the next big game is in development (Destiny 3?)
exactly

trim rock
#

Yeah minimum effort "expansions"

bleak pike
#

They are not capable of making d3

#

They cant even make seasons properly

#

which have no content

young hill
#

a lot of creative people left

bleak pike
#

no

#

they lost most of their support

#

Activision used to give them a lot of resources

#

They used to give a lot of development work to other teams

#

etc outside of bungie

#

Bungie cannot self publish

#

They are quite literally barely capable

#

of doing anything without major funding or support form another company

#

they ahve always been like this

trim rock
#

Time to go back to MS!

young hill
#

yeah i rememeber readding of how micrsoft did them a service by taking them in

#

and was gonna say that

#

maybe they can work out a deal

bleak pike
#

MS didn't wanna deal with them.

#

Why deal with them when you can just buy the IP and do it yourself.

#

Making a game like Halo was great for bungie but anything more they need hands to be held

#

Destiny was development hell

young hill
#

Why deal with them when you can just buy the IP and do it yourself.
get them to make a first party exclusive or something, and let them have funding for destiny 3 whatever

trim rock
#

Time to go back to Apple!

bleak pike
#

Mate

#

It was probably costing MS more

#

than just owning the IP

#

Just like activision

#

it was costing them more than they expected

#

TO hold bungies hands

young hill
#

i get that but i meant something new

bleak pike
#

especially the pc port

#

holy fuck

#

Bungie cannot develop the PC port

#

the team who did the pc port were not Bungie

#

So everything has been going down hill

#

Not as bad as other games like ofc

#

but so many bugs etc

#

For example for weeks now your game would launch capped at 30fps

fringe salmon
#

makes sense, just take a look at the bungie office

bleak pike
#

....

fringe salmon
#

no wonder the productivity sucks with a gigantic open floor

bleak pike
#

*2 months

fringe salmon
bleak pike
#

Bungie also dont test their games, dear god 😄

young hill
#

they got so many people what the heck

trim rock
#

Well testing in production is the hip thing anyway

bleak pike
#

I mean bungie made the entire community grind for weeks etc for a quest to unlock

#

for it to be broke

#

xD

#

That btw

#

a community member found the cause

#

and it was laughable

young hill
#

speaking of that not sure what your opinion is on broken weapons but they just say yeah we will patch it later

bleak pike
#

Bungie are OK with balancing but they did a 360 this year

#

They killed every meta

#

THey also "cant" separate pve from pvp

#

So if anything gets nerfed or buffed its done across the board

young hill
#

seems lazy

bleak pike
#

That or they wren't kidding about how their engine is complete trash.

young hill
#

the game to me just feels like a demo

bleak pike
#

They said that it takes them months just to add something to an environment

#

I disagree

#

its messy af now though

#

with "New Light"

young hill
#

well at least last time i played it

bleak pike
#

WHen forsaken came out it was in a really good spot

#

especially throughout the year

#

a really good spot

#

but then they did a 360 with SK

young hill
#

people did praise i remember and the infinite forest was interesting

bleak pike
#

Personally i think the IF was shit.

#

They used it during Halloween, that was interesting though.

#

But got old quick

young hill
#

well yeah over time

bleak pike
#

Not over time

#

after 1 or 2 games

#

it was useless

#

and boring

young hill
#

i did not over play it that much

#

i tried to savor the content

bleak pike
#

Here

#

look

#

how they used trhe infinite forest

#

They did actually have a similar concept with the corridor of time but they never used it and it went away right away https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1d1NM5jmJ-Y

The Corridors of Time puzzle was finally solved this morning. This is a guide on how to get to the end. To speed things up I used Worldline Zero with top tree Dawnblade and transversive steps. Thanks to everyone who came together to solve this puzzle.

Another community event that pissed everyone off and was complete garbage

young hill
#

oh yeah osiris

bleak pike
#

days of none stop data gathering from thousands of players to unlock a secret that wasn't a secret but just the ability to unlock a gun a few days early that wealready knew was coming

#

the second link is one of the seasons this year

#

Osiris has a major part in D2 this year

#

he has been quite a frequent character

#

xD

#

I used to slag destiny of so much because the first one really rubbed me th wrong way but once i pushed myself to play D2 during SK i fell in love.

#

And ive enjoyed the 2k+ hours ive played

young hill
#

so you like the grinding games?

#

i can understand how the infinite forest could easily get old but i had low expectations, so it seemed fresh to a nightfall or other repetitive quests

Yes

OMG THERE'S A NEW DESTINY 2 CONTENT DROP

#

#

you can finally see the ship thats taken 3 months to crash

So fucking stupid

hushed iris
#

what are we looking at

this is where our money is going

#

To watch a shitty ship fly towards us every week

sand merlin
#

Destiny 2?

bleak pike
#

yes

sand merlin
#

I left after the first dlc for destiny 1 came out

hushed iris
#

lol destiny 1 was awesome

#

destiny 2 is garbage

#

they honestly need more "tower" areas

#

amongst many many other things

#

that game could be so fucking good, but they've squandered their resources on dumb shit

bleak pike
#

Well

#

When did you stop playing

#

@hushed iris

hushed iris
#

after i beat the first raid in d2

#

i know they've made a lot of changes

#

i follow paul tassi on twitter, so i hear about the shit all the time

#

it's just that i like literally none of the changes they've made

bleak pike
#

Well

hushed iris
#

they doubled down on being the opposite of destiny 1

bleak pike
#

Shadowkeep onwards was great and very close to d1

#

I mean

#

Forsaken

#

oops

#

SK kinda madee it mehhhhhhhhhhh

#

again

hushed iris
#

lul i was going to say, because

#

no

#

haha

bleak pike
#

Well

#

I mean content wise anyway

#

Mechanic wise it improved a lot like armor 2.0

#

etc

hushed iris
#

i think honestly at this point the game is over for me

#

my group doesnt play it anymore

bleak pike
#

its close to being over for me too

hushed iris
#

it just started feeling like a chore to play

#

like you have to grind shit out for so long to have fun during the parts that are interesting

bleak pike
#

I honestly haven't felt any grind to the point it makes me feel bored

#

at least pre SK

#

there were only 2 weps i felt really eh about getting

hushed iris
#

i mean i played WoW up to wrath and there was a lot of grinding in that game but like, destiny never earned that kind of grind with me lol

bleak pike
#

hmm

#

Can you give me an example

#

Not trying to be ugh

#

cocky

#

im quite curious

hushed iris
#

i mean for example doing the quests to get weapons with tons of pvp requirements, etc

#

not to mention they have like 10 steps lol

bleak pike
#

I mean

#

Each step is usually pretty small

#

And the ones with big steps,.... you kinda have to earn the godly weps lol

hushed iris
#

i mean i did all the major ones in d1

bleak pike
#

I can understand the whole pvp and pve aspect

hushed iris
#

cant remember the names but

bleak pike
#

I know a lot of people were annoyed

#

mixing them

hushed iris
#

i hate that with a passion

#

like if it's a pvp gun, fine

bleak pike
#

im a bit bias

hushed iris
#

but if it's kinda needed for pve encounters

bleak pike
#

because i like crucible

hushed iris
#

then fuck you bungie

bleak pike
#

So for me its easier

#

They changed that a bit tbh

hushed iris
#

yea and i know a fair number of people share your stance on that

#

but to me

bleak pike
#

For example assists count towards progress

hushed iris
#

destiny is not halo

#

and never will be

bleak pike
#

I dont think it try's to be...

hushed iris
#

lol

#

if you say so

bleak pike
#

pvp wise

#

its further away from Halo than almost all fps games on the market

hushed iris
#

the map design, the game modes...

bleak pike
#

Ugh

#

Wot

#

thats like saying a game using TDM is trying to be like cod

#

All the gamemodes in destiny are generic

#

Control = Domination
Defuse = S&D with extra steps
Mayhem = Everything ramped up
Ranked = like any other game
Survival = 3v3
Supremacy = Kill confirmed

#

None of them are like Halo

#

Maps are not like Halo also...

#

they are a lot smaller and very basic 3 lane maps like most shooters

#

The only difference between any other game is movement, gun skills, armor skills and super abilties.

hushed iris
#

sorry had to step away for a sec

#

no yea, i agree

#

but it's bungie

#

it's subtle but they've tried really hard to make it halo-like

bleak pike
#

D2 is one of the only shooters i like pvp

#

wise

#

and my skill greatly increased cos of it 😄

#

every other fps bores the hell out of menow

tough jay
#

I used to like overwatch, problem for me with competitive fps is, that I would have to sink a lot of time in them to get gud. I like to do a million different things so that basically stops me.

bleak pike
#

for me its the same shit

#

over and over

#

that bores me

tough jay
#

fair enough, I liked overwatch for it's variaty.

#

and I don't mind the same things over and over that much assuming the thing itself is fun.

fringe salmon
#

you see, overwatch is not a pvp shooter though, in a shooter you usually need aim rooKek

tough jay
#

Depending on the hero / class aim can still be very important. Just not as important as in some other shooters.

fringe salmon
#

I mean even on widowmaker, positioning does more if you have decent aim than having amazing aim does

tough jay
#

That being said I mostly played anything but hitscan dps.

bleak pike

its also very bad past 1080p

orchid prism
#

Was part of a super elite tryhard clan that did hotdrops behind enemy lines. We'd fly in, take over towers and hold them against big armies for hilarious amounts of time.

And then they'd divert more meatshields our way and their entire frontline would collapse.

Parking spawn galaxies in spots they couldn't hit was fun.

Tbf, that wheel is extremely nice

novel umbra

no

#

that wheel is the worst wheel I have tried yet

novel umbra
#

uhhh

#

comes down to it

#

the g502 wheel is 19g

#

so it has a lot of inertia

#

aka doesn't feel snappy

keen urchin
#

G900 is sort of inbetween

#

Felt too light, though

novel umbra
#

g900 has a lighter wheel

#

still not good imo

#

G502 wireless has the same one

#

the high weight reduces tactility

#

for reference, a regular scroll wheel is 5 times lighter than a G502 wheel

#

if weight was quality then mice would be made from lead

orchid prism

Sea of Thieves - Aka. "Steal everyone's hard earned shit" simulator. Don't see the appeal at all.

young hill
#

Exactly

orchid prism
#

Not nearly enough PvE focus, and too much forced PvP

young hill
#

And it is so limiting

#

Pirates can do more

#

Or like better combat

orchid prism
#

Love the artstyle - Love the mechanics (movement, shooting) hate the ruleset.

young hill
#

Yeab

#

That about sums it up

orchid prism
#

Give us proper AI pirates to fight instead of skeleton spoopy treasures.

#

Let crews cooperate against humongous fleets of AI or something.

young hill

So they do get marks for compatibility as well
