Gamers will see a noticeable difference with Bethesda, Spencer said in the interview Monday, noting that the company's games will be offered on Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass subscription service the same time they hit store shelves. They'll also be available through Microsoft's xCloud video game streaming service. "This is a huge investment in games that they're going to get to play,", Spencer also said Bethesda will run semi-independently, in an effort to keep the company building the games that brought it success in the first place "We'll always look for places where there is that commonality of purpose, mission and culture,"
Well we'll see where this leads
There were rumors of Metal Gear Solid 1 and 2 coming to PC seems like they might have been right since Metal Gear Solid 1 and 2, Castlevania 1, 2,3, Contra and Super Contra just got rated in Taiwan for PC, this could mean that Konami might be porting these games to PC
hidden drift
I absolutely hate Bethesda
Everything they've done (except Skyrim and FO3)* I think is trash
I used to love them, but I have such a negative opinion of them now... especially after all their scandals and their professional liar Tom Howard.
However, I am excited for ES6 for the first time after hearing of Microsoft acquiring them!
Mind the edit*
fringe salmon
still think it will change barely anything for the games quality, mostly how dlc stuff is handled to incorporate it into game pass more easily
hidden drift
I would assume their budget won't be stretched as thin and maybe they can finally move away from their old buggy engine!
fringe salmon
there is 0% chance cash is the reason the engine was still the same
hidden drift
Why else would they not have made a new engine?
Especially since the old one was buggy as hell and created so many issues
fringe salmon
they sorta are?
hidden drift
They are building on the old Creation Engine, if I remember right
Like how Windows builds on old versions
fringe salmon
I dont remember what parts it was that they said, but they said for each game they also replace/upgrade parts like the render pipeline or physics etc.
that's basically the same as unreal 4 to unreal 5 does
hidden drift
Hmm, I see
fringe salmon
and to go from unreal 3 to 4 which was a bigger switch, took about 6 years+ 5 years prior where it was non serious development
you aint making a new engine in 2 years
hidden drift
I wish they used something like Rockstar's engine
fringe salmon
not on that scale
hidden drift
That's what I thought
fringe salmon
why rage, we dont know if that engine can do what ES6 needs/wants
for all we know it could be worse
hidden drift
Like how Minecraft Java needs to be remade
bleak pike
I like my games not looking like they were made in 2012
also lol no
MS are wanting to get rid of java
That’ll never happen
hidden drift
I know, but I can't imagine why they'd keep Java for this long
fringe salmon
ok so change the graphics you use, the style has very little to do with the engine
bleak pike
Because it’s still profitable
hidden drift
And why the updates are almost exclusively based off of Java's development
bleak pike
But they are slowly migrating people over
bleak pike
MS wanna sell mods
hidden drift
And you have to pay for worlds, skin packs, servers 🤮
bleak pike
Ye exactly
hidden drift
But man does it run buttery smooth
bleak pike
Which is why they will never properly work on java
fringe salmon
but that's from limitations of the java language vs c++, all big game engines basically run in c/c++
hidden drift
If I remember, 2/3 of the community is using some form of Bedrock/Windows 10 Edition
As far as I'm aware, it's not a Java limitation, it's how it was coded from the beginning; not being coded with expansion in mind
fringe salmon
sure that definitely helps, the language is still a vert big part of it
hidden drift
C++ is easier to work with, isn't it?
I know 0 about coding, basing what I'm saying off of others
fringe salmon
define easier
easier if you know what you do maybe, if you were to start from scratch in either one I'd disagree heavily
easier to write efficient code in it perhaps
fallow bronze
Java version also isnt coded with mods in mind, but due to the nature of java it is possible
(although in recent years.. they probably made it easier)
fringe salmon
but those have had it easier too due to nature of java
esp in the start I can see it be a big reasons why mc got so many mods, much more likely someone spends 5 minutes to figure out how to change the redstone signal vs 5 hours (relative random numbers ofc)

So apparently Bethesda was close to failing completely - Which is a great show of how the "AAA" market will make or break you due to the massive investment required and potential downfall if it doesn't succeed.

The game pass is very weird.
orchid prism
Until they start including DLC in third party games, I see little reason to re-sub.
tough jay
Personally mostly with singleplayer games I really don't plan to buy them at or anywhere close to launch. So services like game pass really don't seem worth it to me.
It remains a simple matter of game released a year ago costs € 10 game released now costs € 60 I really don't want to play the newly released game that much more so I buy the year old € 10 game.
Konami is pretty much dead in my opinion, Have not done anything worthwile in some time.

Ugh, pass.
If it ever comes back to Steam maybe, but I'm not touching the Epic store
Or even Galaxy
frail edge
Because money? Same reason Apple Music exists on Android
fringe salmon
but they want to make money from their store by having more users, losing out on money from the people who only would get it on steam is like paying money for ads for their store
frail edge
...
Paying for ads on their store? So you mean like spending millions of dollars acquiring studios and store exclusivity deals that flopped because people thought their tactics was heinous?
fringe salmon
how did it flop?
frail edge
I'd need to pull numbers, but as far as I know the Epic Store is still pulling deep negatives financially because people aren't keen on joining it despite the "exclusive deals" for many reasons, including the whole forceful aspect of the exclusivity deals, and the fact that the store is reportedly pretty broken, the fact that lots of players are already forced to install a lot of other launchers because of publisher-exclusive stores, and I'm pretty sure another major complaint was that Unreal is basically owned by Tencent which gives a lot of people a case of the creeps.
And those exclusivity deals weren't cheap either. It was basically sustained by Fortnite money
fringe salmon
minority stake is not owned which people always forget and meanwhile are happy to ignore when it comes to Riot who are 100% owned etc.
orchid prism
Never had any issues buying anything on Epic personally. The store isn't great, but it works fine for single purchases.
Also don't forget how Epic earns a buttload of cash from Unreal Engine licenses.
fringe salmon
they already got a partnership with ubisoft going to integrate uplay better into egs, meanwhile EA is putting origin to rest and basically add it back into steam, very clearly because epic put heavy pressure on steam to lower their cut
what I like the most is that it finally got steam to add an option for download limits that you can set yourself if I'm honest lol
frail edge
Point is, the store probably isn't making money.
And sure, Quintosh, it's TECHNICALLY a minority stake - but at 40%, it's the most significant investor, which means it has the heaviest pull. And it's a terrifying prospect to lose out on that investor.
And people are not ignoring it when it comes to Riot. Everyone I know who complains about Tencent boycotts League and other such Tencent owned games
I'm not saying the store was universally bad. I'm saying Epic shot it in the foot by trying underhanded techniques. As far as I'm concerned, even if I'm never going to use the store because I can't be bothered, competition is always good
orchid prism
Gotta invest to push markets. The free games could make anyone turn a profit into reds 😄
fringe salmon
PUBG is the third most popular game on steam behind dota2 and csgo and they are tencent owned basically
frail edge
(Speaking of the Unreal license. Didn't they also waive the publishing and licensing fees for Unreal-based games if it was sold on the EGS?)
orchid prism
Nope.
frail edge
I know they waived SOME fee in regards to UE4 games being published on the EGS
fringe salmon
the 5% unreal cut is gone for sales though epic store yes
frail edge
Aaah that's what they waived
Also Quintosh. That's true - though I don't think CSGO has much official involvement with Tencent last I checked. Isn't CSGO a Valve game, who isn't officially involved with them?
But yeah. PUBG for sure. I'm not saying it's a game killer. I'm saying it's part of the reason for some people
fringe salmon
I meant pubg is tencent owned not csgo
frail edge
Yeah that's the facts
fringe salmon
oh and the first million of game revenue from games made in unreal is also royalty free now
and thats in general regardless of where you host
frail edge
Oh they upped it to the first million? Last I checked it was only 10k
...
So yeah that basically makes the Unreal Engine royalty free for 90% of all indie games
frail edge
Is that one million per project or per studio/individual?
fringe salmon
per title
frail edge
I really really hope that doesn't mess em up lol
Just a shame Unreal is really difficult to use for anything that isn't specific kinds of first person shooters as far as I have experience with
trim rock
Eh I dunno, people seem to be using it for all kinds of games just fine

Oh yes I'm not saying it's unusable.
I'm saying it's very heavily tailored towards specific kinds of games

did not know this exists but apparently have the latest PWN sensor
drowsy anchor
hmm
drowsy anchor
no need

people using over 3200 is rare anyways
yeah they overclocked the sensor
its really dumb
and causes a lot of skipping when done
atleast that extreme
hot tartan
well i'd rather my mouse sensor around native at least
no smoothing
I didn't even know you have smoothing past 3200dpi
wow
thought thats long in the past

smoothing isnt totally a bad thing but its worse than having a sensor that can output perfectly with no smoothing
smoothing aims to stop skipping and stutteryness and it does that for sure but its not perfect

you'd have to look up the numbers probably
i use 106.3 or 90 for most things
106.3 is ≈16:9 counter strike and 90 is more common overall, e.g. r6s

yeah idk what the calc really measures

okay kool let me set my mouse dpi to 217 now

i get 791

why is mine so low

wait you put horizonal in wrong

uhh

prob lower than usual cause that's for valorant
drowsy anchor
its not bad really

i feel like the in/360 number is super shooter specific but people prob play in the ballpark of like maybe 8in
drowsy anchor
i use 14.5
hot tartan
wait you put horizonal in wrong
what to put there
drowsy anchor
usually referred to as cm/360 so i put it in wrong atfirst
narrow temple
oh nvm 12in is about 30cm
hot tartan
42.90 is cm/360
drowsy anchor
do you play on a square monitor or actually have 1080 horizontal res?

so 1920

drowsy anchor
yeah
drowsy anchor
yeah idk
hot tartan
what did you put for FOV
drowsy anchor
i think its ignoring multipliers ingame
because if you had no multipliers and had the same cm/360 that cpi would work
but with multipliers using a low cpi gets skipping
drowsy anchor
i ahd 60fov atfirst but yeah it went lower when i put 103

hot tartan
Wait wdym standard?
drowsy anchor
so game just asks for dpi and you enter cm/360 that you want
hot tartan
so game just asks for dpi and you enter cm/360 that you want
Cause some people doesn’t play game with fixed DPI
narrow temple
like let's say if you were a cs player with 2000 hours and wanted to try out valorant or overwatch
drowsy anchor
doesnt matter because then the sens will just multiply to whatever the new dpi is
narrow temple
but wanted the exact same sens
drowsy anchor
just it could be set based on cm/360 and dpi
hot tartan
no need for sens converting between games
Higher paced game needs higher sens generally
narrow temple
yeah like cs sens in overwatch would be an L
drowsy anchor
well overwatch could use multiple different sens also
narrow temple
but say cs to valorant i think it's different
hot tartan
You wanna be able to do 360 quickly in Quake but not in CSGO for example

fast for maybe tracer but lower for widowmaker

@drowsy anchor say a sensor is native at 1600dpi, if I play at 1800dpi what happens
Oh so it’s not like native in monitor
drowsy anchor
well the sens will increase like a native 1800 but it could create weird things
drowsy anchor
"Some mouse manufacturers will use the microcontroller to fudge the numbers that the sensor can actually achieve, check the sensor specifications and make sure it lines up with what the mouse claims. If this is the case, it is likely the mouse will have jitter"
"Jitter is noise on the sensor causing movements which didn't actually happen."
also about that corsair mouse you linked earlier
apparently that sensor is worse than the 3389
tbh using a better sensor than a 3360 isnt really needed unless you want to get really high dpi
narrow temple
my mouse has a 3366 in it
drowsy anchor
smoothing on 3360 above 3200 dpi wont kill your aim but it just makes it not 100% perfect
3366 is pretty much the same as 3360
for actual sensing atleast

now i'm more confused than the beginning xD
hot tartan
G Pro has PMW3366 equivalent
hot tartan
latter is 3389
long story short 3389 sensor has 2 frames of smoothing at 1800 DPI and under, and 32 frames of smoothing over
which means PMW3366 is even worse?
hot tartan
that's what I pulled from the techpowerup I linked
hot tartan
like I'm just more confusing than anything
novel umbra
First, I'm looking at two xCounts plots—generated at 1600 and 3200 CPI—to quickly gauge whether there is any smoothing present, which would be indicated by any visible "kinks." Typically, the 3200 CPI plot would be expected to show such "kinks" given the 3389 usually has 32 frames of smoothing at and above 1900 CPI, which amounts to an added motion delay of roughly 4 ms at the lowest possible speed.
novel umbra
that is just teh % the sensor is wrong
hot tartan
xD
hot tartan
3389 usually has 32 frames of smoothing at and above 1900 CPI, which amounts to an added motion delay of roughly 4 ms at the lowest possible speed. < this
hot tartan
again... I don't care about CPI DPI dev
novel umbra
would still recommend staying below 1900 regardless
yea
cause pzogel wouldn't recommend using over 1900dpi either way

aimmap and play with the settings to test things out
fringe salmon
depends, sometimes you just aren't used to it and think it's worse/better
drowsy anchor
dpi =/= cm/360 though
hot tartan
if i were to do that i'll literally leave dpi at default, go into game and tweak game settings instead
ornate cedar
Not all go for pro play, best to set to something you enjoy
fringe salmon
but in this case it makes no difference, if you want to play at x speed, you can just adjust sensitivity based on what dpi is more accurate
drowsy anchor
if its possible to have the best settings then why settle for worse ones is how id look at it
fringe salmon
so you enjoy it all the same with less potential issues
drowsy anchor
cm/360 is subjective sure but some of these arent
fringe salmon
yup
ornate cedar
Because they dont feel right and can be fustrating for some
drowsy anchor
odd
hot tartan
mini-Skyrst first time got a gaming mouse, 125Hz? 1000Hz? Higher better = sets to 1000Hz
did not know jack shit back then
xD
ornate cedar
bigger number == better?
drowsy anchor
i only got a gaming mouse after id used some generic one for a long time
hot tartan
drowsy anchor
still love the g303 shape but ended up switching to an ultralight

my mx master is doing its job to play at master guardian elite level lmao

damn flexing rank eh
ornate cedar
nah currently main is silver 1
fringe salmon
I started with a g500 with weights in it
hot tartan
fringe salmon
did like the form though even afterwards
hot tartan
there's two types of gaming mouse direction: makes it lighter & puts weight in it
i've never actually owned a mouse with weight
fringe salmon
put in helium weights when
hot tartan
but kinda wanted one before
drowsy anchor
[insert heated argument about mouse weight]
hot tartan
It sounds horrible outside of the detail that it hovers lol
Anything hovers is cool in my book
drowsy anchor
would be cool if it was possible to make a mouse weigh nothing somehow though
but yeah looks impossible to use if that was real lol
hot tartan
Well you can put magnet under it
ornate cedar
magnets (aka magic)
hot tartan
And sell package magnet mousepad
drowsy anchor
was imagining tying balloons to my mouse lmao
drowsy anchor
i actually wonder how that would feel
totally possible since my mouse has holes in it
hot tartan
Why go wireless when you can attach more wires to your mouse
Best marketing catch phrase
ornate cedar
more copper more headshotrate
ashen lark
Make a mouse drone
hot tartan
Make a mouse drone
Thanks to this hardware aim assist is now undetectable by anticheat
drowsy anchor
hardware aim assist lmao
ornate cedar
aimhacks by mouse
ashen lark
Make auto clicker that will not always click same time after last click, by rather in random delay from 10-20ms, so anti cheat does not have chance to get to know you have auto clicker 5Head
fringe salmon
takes like 3 maybe 4 lines in AHK
drowsy anchor

ashen lark
Make AI bots for other games as powerful as baritone mc bots
drowsy anchor
get a loop, add variable with random value every loop, add click, add sleep value based on variable, end loop
iirc there was a dota bot thats better than pro players at 1v1
ashen lark
That is dota
fringe salmon
openAI, also in starcraft

@drowsy anchor so uh I went from 650dpi (very accurate) to 1800 dpi (nothing hits AT ALL)
xD
drowsy anchor
lol
drowsy anchor
it will help eventually trust me
and play easier stuff
stuff you can get 80-90% on
hot tartan
the thing is
drowsy anchor
well that you could i mean
ashen lark
I am at 6400DPI on 15” laptop
hot tartan
i'm convinced that the natural dpi for me is around 650dpi
ornate cedar
n3rd
ashen lark
But for 27”, ideal for me is sth more than 2000 and less than 4800
But I have so low CPS 😦
drowsy anchor
ive gone from around 8cm/360 to 37cm/360 in fps and from about 20mm width tablet area to 68.47mm on osu
can never choose a reasonable sens at the start lmao
ornate cedar
just buy a phone they are tablets anyway
hot tartan
i know there are good mkb players but
drowsy anchor
ooooooooooooooooooooooooo do i need to give tablet recommendations haha
hot tartan
tablets sounds less tiring
uhhh not right now
cause if i don't buy right now new stuff will come out eventually
drowsy anchor
eh
not really the best thing with tablets
a few tablets from 5+ years ago are still top tier
theres only one actual really great osu tablet in production right now
ashen lark
iPad is also great tablet
drowsy anchor
its actually possible to use your phone as an osu tablet lmao
just more lag though
hot tartan
also is it just me
every time i switch to new skin i feel like i have to relearn the whole game
drowsy anchor
well its possible for me to play with any skin but i cant read hard things without my usual skin
placid garden
skins do screw up my memory
drowsy anchor
many people switch based on map types and mods
hot tartan
Kuuube can you recommend some beat maps?
hot tartan
ehhh no idea
but i can stream me playing
so you can judge which skill is good for me to learn
join general
drowsy anchor
alright
hot tartan
xD
drowsy anchor
hmm
hot tartan
do keep in mind my muscle memory is currently fkd
so flicks are bad
i over-under hovor a lot
drowsy anchor
doesnt matter i can tell the map is still too hard
hot tartan
and have to use time to readjust
drowsy anchor
idk how much youve played but i feel like youve gotten noobtrapped so hard if youve really been playing for awhile
yeah looking at you play hr you dont look super new
if you want to get better heres my advice: play without hr half the time and you are forbidden to use nofail
drowsy anchor
on a map you can pass
drowsy anchor
lol
drowsy anchor
stop playing in the future
hot tartan
hot tartan
drowsy anchor
i want to tell you to play hd on this but i dont want to torture you that much lol
hot tartan
predicting everything lol
patience test at the max
at least i can slow this much
jesus how could i play at this speed before
drowsy anchor
play stuff like this to warm up every time you play
hot tartan
drowsy anchor
put on hd when you get more comfortable
drowsy anchor
yeah
i included some lower than ar8
they are in categories though
but many are hard af
those are maps i practice on lol
hot tartan
uh
drowsy anchor
ok one more thing dont stop in the middle of a map even if you dont really like the map
hot tartan
how do you read stack on top of each other notes
drowsy anchor
hmm
idk
i cant tell you
you just need to do it instinctively after playing for awhile
also its hard for me to recommend maps in general because i have 97k maps lol and i only really have ones that i really like or i think are really useful
drowsy anchor
i didnt start organizing them into collections when i was new to the game
i mean i can send you my collections
but
idk if it would help
hot tartan
well for starters they're really useful
the circles are small
target*
the ones i have
same star
but circle as big as a circus*
also
is it normal that I try to learn the map
together with the music
I think it's partly why I can't play when it's too slow once I've learned the music
kinda like expectation?
drowsy anchor
hmm
well you want to know what to expect
but
for low ar you need to process more
hot tartan
ohhhhhh you were right about me can't play low AR
yeah
as long as its high AR I do significantly better
oops
how does HD have to do with AR tho
drowsy anchor
it makes you read differently
just try to play for high acc in general on various AR
gonna leave vc now gotta stop procrastinating and get some work done lol
drowsy anchor

i fixed my problem with onedrive, but i accidentally saved over some old saves. ive lost a couple of turns of progress

@vital wyvern The issue is that I tend to lose interest once I get familiar with the game mechanics, and have the feeling I understand the game
I think Witcher 3 was the last one that kept me going to the end

Port Royale looks interesting
Too bad it, once again, lacks Multiplayer
Kalypso is pretty bad in that regard
Tropico 6 multiplayer took months to get fixed and working
orchid prism
I played it some months ago. Performance was abysmal.
Multiplayer is a big investment for genres of games that never really see multiplayer use.
Tropico's MP was a complete failure.
keen urchin
It was fun, but bad
Multiplayer is a big part of the genre
Think Patrician 3 or the Anno series
orchid prism
Anno? Multiplayer? No thanks 😄
Patrician? Ehh.... still don't see it.
Much more playable on your own with the 10x toggle available.
proper cargo
borderlands 1 mp has more importance than anno multiplayer XD
i mean, i can still remember in anno 2070, they had this system where players could vote what their next bonusses could be, which is the multiplayer part
orchid prism
It also had actual MP
But like all other Anno games whoever gets warships first wins.
If you can't leave your main island to get different resources, you're stuck.
keen urchin
Anno also has Co-op multiplayer
hot tartan
@vital wyvern The issue is that I tend to lose interest once I get familiar with the game mechanics, and have the feeling I understand the game
@keen urchin same here. But that's only because I don't wanna spend much time on casual games nor I really care about getting good at it
understanding the game is not enough for them, they gotta beat it, then beat it again on hardest difficulty, then beat it again using their toes
