But with non-reforged graphics

feral ferry
#

This was good

wicked latch
#

That is WC2 I think

feral ferry
#

Yeah it's WC2

wicked latch
#

Oh wait maybe...

feral ferry
#

I also still have the original CD for Command and Conquer

wicked latch
#

I am not sure

feral ferry
#

It is WC2, don't worry about it

#

I can tell from the models that this is WC2 lul

wicked latch
#

There was a port of WC2 on early Windows phones.

#

I actually played that xD

#

It was horrible

#

But it actually ran

feral ferry
#

I had the PS1 version so that's the one in the first pic

#

I always thought that orcs were OP thonk

wicked latch
#

... no wonder it looked like shit then lul

ornate cedar
#

Odd world strangers wrath was also memerable

wicked latch
#

Also when it comes to new games that recently came out and that have that "old game vibe" to them in the sense that they dont feel like cookie-cutter - I would defo put Hades there.

#

Awesome game

ornate cedar
#

Domina was an small game which was pretty cool

wicked latch
#

I even managed to clear out the 32 heat level for the last skelly statue.

#

Was a pain

ornate cedar
#

DEFCON was a strange game to play mentally

bleak pike
#

how about monopoly

ornate cedar
#

Chess hasn't been updated in almost 200 years and it's obvious the devs have abandoned it. The greedy creators took your money and laughed all the way to the bank.

I remember back in 705 AD when chess was fun. Then they started adding stupid features no one wanted like "Castling" and "En Passant" instead of listening to player feedback and fixing game-breaking bugs. I've been complaining for YEARS about the collision-detection glitch with the horsey. The "clipping-thru-pieces" bug has been abused to death and the lazy devs refuse to fix it.

Don't support this awful behaviour and boycott this company.

#

The cold feeling seeing the icons move and to their thing. Knowing you launched an entire continent to death brr

orchid prism
#

Well that was a waste of gigabytes 😄

#

Battlefront II forces third person.

trim rock
#

It does? Where?

orchid prism
#

Whenever I use an ability

trim rock
#

Don't do that then

orchid prism
ornate cedar
#

Stop doing the bad thing

#

keep doing the good thing

#

The EA ones dont have a singleplayer galactic campain,right? Ea wouldnt be so generous

#

Once those servers go down the game becomes a shell if playable at all

#

At some point they will drop the server probably 15-20 years down the line. For costs and forcing people to rebuy to the new shooty game

#

I dunno, something has to run those servers for the time they want multiplayer to exist in the game

hot spire
#

yeah you cant really do p2p matches for more than 10 players

ornate cedar
#

The problem, the game being reliant on multiplayer for content

hot spire
#

then people mod it

#

they dont want mods

ornate cedar
#

singleplayer content is nearly non-existant if even able to log in without the servers

#

Every move is monitised

#

Because the backlash against the predatory behavior was too extreme and had to ease up

hot spire
#

well

#

the maps are part of the dlc

#

so yeah

ornate cedar
#

Atleast you have an complete signleplayer and galactic conquest to play with

hot spire
#

i mean map packs are one of the least shitty types of dlc

ornate cedar
#

If you want to play with people you would get the latest entry where the people are

#

monitising maps would lower the contact between the whales and normal players

#

So anyway. From the depths seem to have been updated quite a lot over the months i didnt play

hot spire
#

that game is crazy

ornate cedar
#

Yea, its great when you make a large battleship and the first steer just capceises it

#

Star cititzen is a waste of money. F

orchid prism
#

Right - So Gsync not worth it on my monitor. Colours become washed out. Almost as if the games force HDR as well (what), and I have enough FPS to where it doesn't help gamewise.

ornate cedar
#

digital spacecraft museum with too much money yet running out somehow

#

The development cost is listed being 275+ million. The most of any game. oof. Red dead redemption 2 was 170-240 million to develop

hot spire
#

@orchid prism most of the time gsync forces overdrive

ornate cedar
#

star citizen did save with the marketing with just 45 million. red dead 2 is 200-300 million marketing .

orchid prism
ornate cedar
#

Is it gsync certified, compatible or whatver they call it

orchid prism
#

None of the above 😄

#

I'm just curious why it appears to enable HDR when I turn on Gsync. Because it looks just like when I do that on a non-HDR capable monitor forced to do 10bit.

hot spire
#

it also bypasses most the the in built processing

#

dose you monitor have a low latency/game mode?

orchid prism
#

shrug

ornate cedar
#

Maybe something is suggesting it should emulate hdr with gsync thonk

orchid prism
#

Eh... whatever. cba to look into it more.

#

Conclusion: No Gsync and no HDR. It bad 😄

ornate cedar
#

it do the bad thing, dont do it

ashen lark
#

Smh why does the layout of dorms in life is strange from inside and outside, and also number of windows make no sense whatsoever

There’s quite a hefty rumor circling on the internet right now, suggesting that the crew of Netflix’s The Witcher was filming today at Saunton Beach in Devon, UK. We did a quick check-in with our sources and can confirm that this is true. The production at Saunton Beach is indeed The Witcher. From all weContinue reading

Optic camo works in cyberpunk now

feral ferry
#

woah

#

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is coming to Game Pass

trim rock
#

Get out of here stalker

novel umbra
#

lol

#

the new xbox seems like a very enticing option with game pass

#

ngl

#

too bad I ain't a console guy

barren pewter
feral ferry
#

Yeah

barren pewter
#

it's a xbox games studio game after all

feral ferry
#

It's not?

#

GSC doesn't belong to Xbox first party studios umbrella

#

It's more like a partner company

barren pewter
#

hm

#

idk

#

but they said no PS4 or 5 release

feral ferry
#

Well they got a cash infusion from Microsoft

barren pewter
#

and something about it "being built for xbox"

feral ferry
#

Cash infusion. From. Microsoft

#

In return. For. Exclusivity

#

Same. As. Bethesda

barren pewter
#

I can get behind that tbh

feral ferry
#

Bethesda's 2 games or something are coming as PS5 exclusives

#

Microsoft can't really overrule that deal

barren pewter
#

what games?

feral ferry
#

The new one from Arcane

#

Deathloop

#

Is a PS5 exclusive iirc

novel umbra
#

they just didn't

feral ferry
#

I mean then Sony wants their money back

novel umbra
#

well yea

feral ferry
#

I don't think having another financial hit is something Microsoft wants

novel umbra
#

microsoft could do that

feral ferry
#

Yeah I am fully aware they can break it off

novel umbra
#

to take away the one enticing game for the ps5 that still releases this year

feral ferry
#

I just don't think they would

novel umbra
#

as far as I am aware deathloop might be the biggest system seller this year

feral ferry
#

Which tbh isn't even THAT big of a game

#

Not that interesting

novel umbra
#

yup

#

well

#

what other game would be the system seller

feral ferry
#

Man I can't wait for that Hogwarts Legacy game

novel umbra
#

since demon souls wasn't

#

uhhh

feral ferry
#

Demons Souls weirdly died off

novel umbra
#

sackboys adventure?

barren pewter
novel umbra
#

or whatever it was called

feral ferry
#

But prolly cause there's just little PS5 consoles in circulation, maybe

fringe salmon
#

ghostwire maybe, but doubt it

novel umbra
#

all of the remaining interesting titles can just be bought for a different console

#

the ps5 won't be interesting for japanese devs anyways

feral ferry
#

Yeah sadly I don't see Ghostwire or Deathloop selling a console

novel umbra
#

since it barely sold in japan

feral ferry
#

But Starfield defo would lul

novel umbra
#

so they will go to the switch

fringe salmon
#

god of war 2 isnt this year

novel umbra
#

yup

#

basically everything got delayed

barren pewter
feral ferry
#

Oh wait

barren pewter
#

I wouldn't hold my breath

feral ferry
#

There is actually one game

#

That would make me buy a PS5

#

Kena Bridge of Spirits

novel umbra
#

horizon 2 got indirectly announced to be delayed to next year already btw

feral ferry
#

PS5 exclusive on consoles/Windows

novel umbra
#

aka

#

not an exclusive

#

oh also

#

VERY far from a full game

#

and they ask for 40 euros

feral ferry
#

Kena and hopefully Elden Ring/Starfield are my most anticipated titles this year

fringe salmon
#

dont see elden ring coming this year

novel umbra
#
It’s tough to put an exact number on this, because of the number of side activities, but Josh says they set out to make something players could comfortably finish over a weekend.```
#

aka

feral ferry
#

Dunno some sources say it will, some say it won't

novel umbra
#

4 hours or something

#

don't see elden ring this year tbh

#

but what do I know

#

thing is

#

does sony has exclusivity on it?

feral ferry
#

Wait, the new Horizon game is short af?

novel umbra
#

I doubt fromsoftware would make such a deal after the ps5 launch in japan

novel umbra
#

that is kena

#

short af

feral ferry
#

Ah

novel umbra
#

and WAAAAY too expensive for that

#

imo

feral ferry
#

I am mostly interested in the graphics

#

The game looks beautiful

novel umbra
#

eh

#

nothing special if you ask me

feral ferry
#

For each their own, Skyrim hater lul

novel umbra
#

otherwise basically an incomplete botw clone

#

terrible subgenre if you ask me

feral ferry
#

I dig Kena just cause I loved Arthur and the Minimoys back in the day

#

And this looks like a very similar game

#

And no, it's not a clone

#

Cause then BoTW is an Arthur and the Minimoys clone

novel umbra
#

???

feral ferry
#

When it's just not

novel umbra
#

you are aware there are a TON of botw-like games out there

#

that got released just because botw was popular

feral ferry
#

Yes, Pheonyx Rising

novel umbra
#

genshin

#

kena

feral ferry
#

Kena was in the works afaik for a long ass time

#

Kena is nothing like BoTW what the fuck

novel umbra
#

even seen a botw clone that is set in austria for some reason

novel umbra
#

it has to be one absolute banger of a story to be worth it

#

which it didn't seem to be in the trailers

feral ferry
#

I mean you want a pure BoTW clone = Pheonyx Rising from Ubisoft

novel umbra
#

so you basically pay quite a lot for some fancy graphics

#

like

#

assumingly ~10 USD per hour of gameplay

barren pewter
#

wow

novel umbra
#

yea fuck off

barren pewter
#

arrrrrrr

novel umbra
#

I won't pirate

barren pewter
#

I just skip games

novel umbra
#

if a game is worth pirating it should be worth buying

barren pewter
#

yeah

novel umbra
#

if it is not even worth buying then it isn't worth playing

barren pewter
#

at worst, I'll wait till a game is on a really deep discount

novel umbra
#

^

#

you shouldn't have to pirate a game to enjoy it

barren pewter
#

I bought far cry 5 and new dawn with seasons passes for $17

#

usually the whole pack is $170

novel umbra
#

not worth it

barren pewter
#

good things come to those who wait, I guess

barren pewter
#

and comes in the pack

novel umbra
#

can't wait till ubisoft is out of commission

#

to stop putting cashgrabs out each year

barren pewter
#

yeah

#

new dawn was shite

#

without a doubt

#

5 was ok

fringe salmon
#

speaking of ubisoft

barren pewter
#

I just hope that far cry 6 is actually good

novel umbra
#

5 "what if we take away the few things we did well"

fringe salmon
#

they seem to be planning on making snowdrop a publicly available engine

novel umbra
#

and you get the worst hp system yet

#

new dawn was bulletsponge heaven

barren pewter
barren pewter
#

it was

#

yikes

feral ferry
#

New Dawn for a shit game, was surprisingly fun to play

novel umbra
#

who tf wants to use the snowdrop engine

#

wtf

#

new dawn was the definition of a cashgrab

#

ngl

#

recycled everything

#

new feature is bulletsponges and a few weapons

#

as well as a mediocre main story

barren pewter
#

true

#

and I guess constantly hunting for ethanol is a new game mechanic

#

I fucking hate it

fringe salmon
#

I mean as long as the licensing for snowdrop is at least similar to unity/unreal, another option is always great

#

current push is to make the VR options in it better and that's an area both unity and unreal are only ok-ish in so far

novel umbra
#

oh yea another option is great

#

especially when it's not the cryengine

#

or a reskin of it

fringe salmon
#

there is a reason I did not mention that one kek

#

but also not available, but open like unreal is

novel umbra
#

?

#

lumberyard is at least

fringe salmon
#

yeah but unity isn't

#

but snowdrop would be from what I read

#

again, cry/lumber idc about

novel umbra
#

you better don't

#

I don;t even know any decent title on the cryengine

#

from the last 10 years

fringe salmon
#

kingdom come, hunt

novel umbra
#

oh right

fringe salmon
#

but regardless, I used the engine and it had issues

novel umbra
#

forgot hunt existed

fringe salmon
#

but it's a sad combination of engine issues+ the company is dogshit

novel umbra
#

well

#

and a complete change in some systems which nobody asked for

#

I have only heard bad things about their terrain editor

fringe salmon
#

meh, that is more relevant for in house engines

ornate cedar
#

Those who enjoy your game will pay for the game, given they would ever even want to pay for games. Piracy is only a problem for out of touch boomer shareholders and shitty games

novel umbra
fringe salmon
#

otherwise it's better to have the approach unreal has where you make stuff in other tools and integrate it

novel umbra
#

yea

#

unity has that as well, no?

#

or well

#

supports it at least

fringe salmon
#

that yea

#

unreal just has more direct integrations with other things

#

so you can edit it in the software and instantly see the changes in unreal etc.

#

unity is more self contained in that regard

novel umbra
#

oh yea

fringe salmon
#

last devcom they did have a keynote about snowdrop and the editor, how they did stuff in division 2 etc.

#

did look like an actually good UI and useable

fading spade
#

Should I get a Switch That Cannot Switch™️ or splash the extra cash for the Switch?

barren pewter
#

the switch doesn't really have much to justify that higher price imo

fading spade
#

oh, pro controller

#

I thought that was te thing that just holds the joycons into a normal contoller body

barren pewter
#

nope

fading spade
#

ah...

trail dove
#

It's rumoured that a new switch is coming out soon with better specs I would wait a little to see if it gets confirmed and how much it is then base the decision off that

fading spade
#

ooooh

barren pewter
#

right

fading spade
#

Its just rumour though?

barren pewter
#

yea

fading spade
#

o

barren pewter
#

but kinda expected

fringe salmon
#

it is coming but nobody knows when, if next month or december

fading spade
#

oh wow

placid garden
#

I can’t cough up $399 for a new switch

#

or whatever price hike they’re putting on the new switch

barren pewter
#

I can't justify a switch

fringe salmon
#

Mario disliked that

barren pewter
#

especially since the only games I'd play on the switch are 1. on PC, and 2. already in my steam library

feral ferry
#

I do actually own a Mariko, and I am planning to buy another Switch

#

But of the earlier model cause I want to homebrew them

fringe salmon
#

how does that relate to the price of a new, yet unreleased switch version? xD

feral ferry
#

Fuck do you know what the Super Switch will cost?

#

But yeah for most people Mariko will remain their only switch that they own

#

The only bad thing about Super Switch is the fact that Nintendo is planning exclusives for that console

#

Marikos and V1's are gonna get fucked

fading spade
#

Marikos?

feral ferry
#

V2 Switch

#

With improved battery life, etc

#

That's the codename for it

fading spade
#

The one that they patched so it cant be jailbroken?

feral ferry
#

I keep forgeting what the V1 is called

feral ferry
fringe salmon
#

I still dont quite understand the point how that relates to the comment that a new more expensive switch version is outside of budget thonk

feral ferry
#

Just buy an used one really

feral ferry
#

How much

fringe salmon
#

ok but that only works under the assumption claire doesn't already have a switch, otherwise it wouldn't matter even if the price would be 0$

feral ferry
#

I guess the point is, that the new switch really isn't worth your money

young crow
#

230+shipping and it's yours

feral ferry
#

What the fuck that's actually a good price

#

But I don't particularly trust you with my money so thonk

young crow
#

weirdchamp

#

guess it's collecting dust then

#

*more dust

barren pewter
#

I'll just buy my buddy's early model for a portable linux rig when he gets a new switch

#

more excuses to try linux

fading spade
#

wot

feral ferry
barren pewter
#

same

feral ferry
#

Like stuffing an RX 3600 and an R9 Nano into a tiny case

barren pewter
#

uh

#

dude

fading spade
#

If you wanna repair my last computer, I could send you it :P its missing a boot drive and I think the only thing wrong with it is the CMOS battery is dead

barren pewter
#

you can easily fit an RTX 3090 and R9 5950x into a sub 20L case

feral ferry
#

RTX 3090

#

Lol what

barren pewter
#

not even kidding

feral ferry
#

I want something akin to the NUCs

#

Really tiny PCs

barren pewter
#

oh

#

lolnope

fading spade
#

the new NUC has an RTX card

barren pewter
#

RTX 2060

fading spade
#

o

barren pewter
#

max p

feral ferry
#

2060, yes Lana

barren pewter
#

so

#

shite performance

fading spade
#

oof ok

feral ferry
#

And the 1165g7

barren pewter
#

worse than a desktop RTX 2060

novel umbra
#

2060 uses like what

#

half of the power than a 3090?

placid garden
#

save u on power bill

#

very good

barren pewter
#

because too much FPS is bad for you

placid garden
#

bad for eyes

barren pewter
#

the human eye can only see 30 anyway

wicked latch
barren pewter
#

those console plebs

#

metro exodus at 90 FPS is too good

#

and with RT, no less

placid garden
#

those were the days

#

1080p30

#

only a few select titles had 60 fps support

barren pewter
#

meh

placid garden
#

r6s was pretty fun on console

barren pewter
#

I'm glad that I went from 720p 20-30fps to 1080p and at least 80 FPS

novel umbra
placid garden
#

yeah it was 58fps

#

bad game

novel umbra
#

Early 2000s

#

When a lot of titles still made 60 on consoles

barren pewter
#

hm

placid garden
#

what’s with the cyberpunk patch log

#

why is it so long

#

it doesn’t even fit on my vertical screen

barren pewter
#

why does it not address my issue with cyberpunk?

#

that game has barely any content tbh

orchid prism
#

That's what I've been saying 😄

#

I already completed the game three times - I don't need bugfixes. I need more content.

barren pewter
#

also

#

game balance is nowhere to be found

#

smart weapons are shit until you max out the tree and get the superconductor perk, at which point it's just unfair

#

revolvers are insane otherwise

hot spire
#

i used melee the whole game lol

barren pewter
#

I used tech weapons

#

the superconductor perk makes your smart weapons ignore armour

#

it's broken

wicked latch
#

"balance"? It is a singleplayer RPG

barren pewter
wicked latch
#

Why should that have balance?

#

It should have fun xD

barren pewter
#

it's not fun only using a few weapons just because they're way better

placid garden
#

yeah just get one gun that shreds all

barren pewter
#

yeah

#

that bothers me

#

I liked using tech weapons for the novelty

#

until it was broken

placid garden
#

not like fallout or metro 🗿

barren pewter
#

in fallout, it's different

#

weapons genuinely have a progression system

ornate cedar
#

In rpgs you want to use certain weapons because you feel like it. Not for their performance. typically

barren pewter
#

you aren't supposed to drop a gauss rifle in favour of a pipe rifle

#

in cyberpunk, it's different

ornate cedar
#

So,for example. you would pistols only because you feel it is cool todo, not because they are overpowered

barren pewter
#

in metro, every gun has it's uses and none are objectively bad

#

even the bastard gun, the gun that everyone loves to hate

#

has it's uses

ornate cedar
#

Bastard gun has high firing rate and accepts mgr

orchid prism
#

Depending on the settings of course!

barren pewter
#

I mean

#

you can snipe with pistols in cyberpunk

#

just because they can be stupidly accurate

orchid prism
#

Yeah 2077 is a bit of a "all shoes fit you" kind of thing.

barren pewter
#

and you never really engage at long ranges in cyberpunk anyway

orchid prism
#

Even shotguns can be snipers - and shoot round corners 😄

barren pewter
#

I've only found one use for snipers in the entire game

ornate cedar
#

All weapons should feel unique and handle uniquely but be viable to use

orchid prism
#

There ARE a few encounters where some enemies are far away. But nothing you can't "close the distance" on. But I found good use in snipers from cover.

wicked latch
#

Gonna be honest here - if a cyberpunk game of this type makes you focused on the fact that weapons are imbalanced, then it is probably not a very good game to begin with.

When thinking on old Deus Ex (the original), weapon balance was the least of my worries.

barren pewter
#

but seriously

#

tech weapons are pog

#

I wish cyberpunk had a "new game plus" mode

#

like metro exodus

ornate cedar
#

hardcore ranger

barren pewter
#

so I could have my perks and levels for a whole playthrough

#

start with the tikhar, railgun mechanism, helical mag, and explosive capsules

#

those pleb cultists on the volga don't stand a chance

wicked latch
#

I wish someone would make a remaster of the old Deus Ex.

#

Instead of those new games from the franchise which are mediocre at best in a lot of cases.

orchid prism
#

A mod got released on Steam a while back.

#

It's interesting.

keen urchin
#

CDPR has a lot more to do before they should focus on additional content

#

1.2 is a good step in the right direction
Now it should be QoL and improving the existing features

Optic camp in cyberpunk

feral ferry
#

Whaat

scarlet wing
#

yea

#

they prepping for 2022

#

CP77 AAA multiplayer and another Witcher AAA title

feral ferry
#

Did you forget that they have another, non-CP non-Witcher title in the works that was supposed to be released this year

#

I dunno if CD Projekt has the game license anymore

wicked latch
feral ferry
#

They got into a bit of a fight with Andrzey

wicked latch
#

They sorted that out

feral ferry
#

I know

#

But dunno if the license is permanent or has to be renewed

#

Cause Andrzey might be reluctant

#

But if they got the license, then it's gucci

scarlet wing
#

but they mentioned their plans on one of their recent meetings

#

reiterating plans for 2022 two AAA games in dev

wicked latch
ornate cedar
#

He is on the board last time i looked at their quaterly report

scarlet wing
#

one being CP77

#

two being another witcher game

feral ferry
#

Eh?

#

Then what on earth was meant to be released this year

#

They had two big games in the works

scarlet wing
#

announced today on their twitter

feral ferry
#

I'm glad they haven't dropped Cyberpunk and will try to redeem themselves

scarlet wing
#

witcher 3 was the same at launch pretty much

feral ferry
#

But now I'm curious

scarlet wing
#

people just forgot that lol

feral ferry
#

What were they working on like a year back

#

There was another big game in the works

ornate cedar
#

They actually going to do it? ok

feral ferry
#

They quoted it as being on-track till 2022

#

No word for what it was

#

And now it's just gone?

scarlet wing
feral ferry
#

Eh?

#

AAA games don't just disappear

scarlet wing
#

they also said start in 2022

#

so

feral ferry
#

Well let's hope that other title is still being worked on

scarlet wing
#

i honestly don't even know wht ur talking about blob

#

lol

feral ferry
#

And isn't dropped

feral ferry
#

Ah fuck amp man

#

We have known about this AAA title for like 2 years now, since 2019 iirc

#

It was in their shareholder section or something

#

I wonder what happened to it

ornate cedar
feral ferry
#

LOL WHAT

#

"Agile delivery"?

trim rock
#

transformation journey into buzzwords

feral ferry
#

Did we not tell them we don't like crunch?

scarlet wing
barren pewter
scarlet wing
#

waterfall was the old name they called it pretty much

barren pewter
#

people cost money over time

scarlet wing
#

agile is the new name

#

lol

barren pewter
#

better to eat costs right around delivery

feral ferry
#

So, more crunch

#

Fuck me man

barren pewter
#

:)

ornate cedar
scarlet wing
#

agile isn't really agile it's more just renaming

#

but yea

#

prob still gonna be pre-ordering their next games

feral ferry

Don't preorder wtf

Fuck me without lube then

#

I dont understand why people preorder

barren pewter
#

for wooting products

#

makes sense

#

they nail it every time

#

but for anything else, nope

wicked latch
#

I meant for software products with infinite copies on the market.

fringe salmon
#

pre-load, you can still refund

wicked latch
#

Obviously it makes sense for physical goods

fringe salmon
#

whats the difference between preordering and ordering on release?

slim token
#

you get limited items

wicked latch
#

You ideally order 2 weeks after release.

#

At least

barren pewter
#

you get it early

#

usually for preorders

#

you can load your game in advance

#

so you can just install the day one patch instead

ornate cedar
#

Paying beta testers who get to cry on release if it sucks and no money back.

wicked latch
#

Considering how fucked up most games are nowadays, I dont get people who buy games on day 1 tbh.

fringe salmon
#

ah yes, let me just get my 2 week late release so I need to avoid any social media just because I dont give a company the benefit of doubt they can do real work

wicked latch
#

No, I dont give companies any benefit of doubt.

fringe salmon
#

if it is that bad you can refund

wicked latch
#

They are institutions, not people.

fringe salmon
#

like you dont have any risk or any actual lost unless steam goes bankrupt I guess?

wicked latch
#

You can generally refund until 2 hours of gameplay.

#

That is nowhere near enough to figure out something is fucky with a game in a lot of cases.

#

Right now, I am not aware of any game-making company that I would pre-order from. None has my faith nor loyalty when it comes to delivering full-fledged, good products that dont have some hidden fuckups along the way.

#

So yes, at least 2 weeks.

fringe salmon
#

cant remember a game I couldn't decide if it has issues or wasn't good in the first 2 hours so peepoShrug

wicked latch
#

Good for you

scarlet wing
#

i just pre-order games i think i'll like if i don't i refund

#

lol

ornate cedar
#

You could also order it on day one, payment seems to never have some waiting period attached.

Uh who the fuck shows requirements for 60 fps? You're too progressive, outriders!

Honestly

#

How do I update JDK since I am seeing some secure mod features disabled in Forge.

scarlet wing
#

What they really meant by agile delivery was in a different statement

#

"Future marketing campaigns will be much shorter, with promotional content released closer to the actual release of the given game"

craggy lichen
#

So do I just download the latest one and see what happens?

ornate cedar
#

Business agile, lmao

scarlet wing
#

Maybe more like FromSoft

#

They should be the example

craggy lichen
#

I do have like the latest Java but it still says secure mod features disabled, update JDK

So what is the issue with uploading a photo ID?

fading spade
#

#

I aint sending my goverment documents to a private company that gives 0 shits about privacy

My account isn't using my name

and also What lana said

#

Even if your second name is different

#

they will just delete the account and make a new one with the real name....

wicked latch

Make a fake ID then

metro exodus' native linux release drops on the 14th of april

ornate cedar
#

Good devs

#

Would buy again

barren pewter
#

yeah

#

also hella pumped for the enhanced edition

ornate cedar
#

Good games get hype by just announcing the same game but with ray tracing not the Nvidia only one. Oh and more support.

#

it is not a simple ‘patch’ to the base game

#

That would be in EA lingo an dlc of about 60 dollars

barren pewter
#

mhm

#

just sent the article to a buddy who spents half of his day looking at linux terminals

#

and a few hours a week gaming

ornate cedar
#

The game fully runs with proton

barren pewter
#

yes

ornate cedar
#

yeet

barren pewter
#

but native linux release

ornate cedar
#

and rtx

barren pewter
#

that's even better than a really good compatibility layer

fading spade
#

metro last light runs like shit on Linux though its native :/

#

same for borderlands 2

barren pewter
#

lana, this is metro exodus

ornate cedar
#

I dont have any problems

barren pewter
#

it always runs like shit

fading spade

#

I get 80 FPS in my game

o

barren pewter
fading spade
#

but you have RT enabled

barren pewter
#

duh

fading spade
#

yep

barren pewter
#

and no DLSS because DLSS 1.0 is shit

ornate cedar
#

My 2060 was chugging along happily

fading spade
#

thats why it "runs like shit"

#

cause RT

barren pewter
ornate cedar
#

use directx11 then

barren pewter
#

you need RT in a game like that

#

makes it even more immersive

#

immersive as f***, lana

ornate cedar
#

but now you get dlss so you can use those cores for performance

barren pewter
#

yes

#

actual DLSS

#

2.0

#

and even more rays to trace

#

blin

ornate cedar
#

Raw unadulterated straight from the utter of a raycaster

barren pewter
#

it will be...

#

blyatiful

ornate cedar
#

Make sure babuska doesnt hear or you will know where the rolling pin is hiding

#

and to think.. the author could not get his book publisher and the developers and art team could not get fed, forming together into an entire thing

#

also like that the author respects the game and works with them to make it.

tldr: closing down PS3 store + no backwards compatibility on PS5

But now they can re sell old games on the PS5 store as HD remasters.

#

I'm not complaining,I wouldn't want to the ps5 to be more expensive for the 10 people per country that would actually play ps3 games on it

#

closing store without an alternative is a different topic

you can play basically all ps4 games on ps5 and that's all that is needed imo

then what was the point of having the beta on steam?

trim rock
#

"15/03/2021" you're pretty l8 m8

bleak pike
#

haha

#

this is kinda bad really

#

as the game pass on pc is the same price on console

#

but we get less releases etc

#

A LOT of people subbed this month

#

for outriders

trim rock
#

Well maybe they should have actually paid attention, I saw from the start it was announced as being on console pass only

bleak pike
#

It was announced for xbox game pass ultimate

#

which is both of them

#

PC and Console

trim rock
#

Not really

bleak pike

it literally is

Lol

#

Licherally the first paragraph in the news "We all got a taste of Outriders with the recent demo, so I’m thrilled to announce that Outriders will be available on Console and Android phones and tablets via Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) with Xbox Game Pass on day one!"

#

So you could probably just get one of those softwares that let you run Android apps on your computor and cloud game it ecks dee

bleak pike
#

ye but

#

on ms website and their twitter etc

#

the opposite of that

#

also

but google has negative latency. they broke physics

Oh that ping is ghastly for cloud gaming

ornate cedar

Playing 1 frame in the past(51.54fps)

o dang

barren pewter

that's what my ping hit yesterday trying to play some CS-GO

ffs

ornate cedar
#

if the framerate is beyond 51.54 fps you will have more latency than 1 frame

Oh also that cloud got backwards compatibility games now, that's pretty neat

you're aware that cal would need to sell his liver to be able to afford a series X, right?

covid devalued all the organs tbh

usually we can determine the value of organs with medical records and some questions

so, !LordPanda, shall we appraise cal's body parts?

Supply and demand

well yes

but shit organs sell for less

ornate cedar

You dont have to be.. truthful.

sounds a bit sus

barren pewter

wouldn't lying violate the "be nice" rule?

ornate cedar
#

The client would love a new organ

barren pewter
#

but they expect a good one

#

so shouldn't we source good organs?

ornate cedar
#

But how are you going to become a billionaire without exploiting.

barren pewter
#

sell the organs in quality levels

#

if you can't afford wagyu A5 quality organs, you don't get them

#

if all you can afford are the trimmings we were going to throw away, then that's what you get
