[normal crown]

What the hell!!! Man!!!!

Plot twist of the decade

I love doom but i suck at it

Imma play doom tomorrow

I love games like doom and dmc which just empahsize on fun

But at the same time I also love story based and slow games that are not always moving at the speed of light

[shrewd sparrow]

@normal crown play nier automata

Also I kinda like doom. I know that's a pretty well kept secret about myself

[normal crown]

Fair enough

It has booba

[shrewd sparrow]

No I'm being fr

It has a fast paced super fun combat

And a really good story

[stark oyster]

[shrewd sparrow]

Seriously play it

[normal crown]

Yes I'll do so when i have money to buy

For now it's time for OVERWATCH RHE SEXOND

[shrewd sparrow]

Sure

Just invite me

[charred gust]

[shrewd sparrow]

I look basic as hell. I literally don't care about losing any of my progress besides my drip man

I have some sweet outfits made on PS

Some of them use bought cosmetics which I'm obv not gonna rebuy

[charred gust]

i was uhhhhhhhhhh

still in the middle of the process of picking up random guns off the ground

to have them unlocked

[shrewd sparrow]

Are you playing with GS on?

Gear score

[charred gust]

no

try joining me from the xbox thing

cuz u dont pop up

it shows you're offline

lmfao

i sent u an invite regardless since u can do that apparently, try joining

[shrewd sparrow]

I'm gkunubg

What the fuck

Joining*

[charred gust]

@shrewd sparrow

how the fuck do i use the uhhhhhhhh

sonar goggles

i unlocked the echelon class

[shrewd sparrow]

I dunno

[charred gust]

it says LB + RB but im doing it and it doesnt work

https://tenor.com/view/forced-to-play-gif-20710116

[shrewd sparrow]

@charred gust its LB + rb

Yeah it's your secret technique

It's the bar in the bottom left when it's filled you can do your technique

It's like an ultimate all the classes have them

[charred gust]

wtf

that is so ass

i thought you could just use it whenever like in splinter cell

[shrewd sparrow]

Welcome to breakpoint lol

[charred gust]

wtf

[shrewd sparrow]

What

[charred gust]

@shrewd sparrow bro

why is kippa with us

lmfao

[shrewd sparrow]

Huh

[stark oyster]

?

[charred gust]

@stark oyster wtf are you doing in breakpoint

[shrewd sparrow]

He isnt

[charred gust]

oh nvm he's offline

nvm

[shrewd sparrow]

What did u see him at the table

[stark oyster]

fr

[charred gust]

@stark oyster bro ngl

i just did a drip check on you

and your drip sucks

[shrewd sparrow]

We should go into conquest mode @charred gust

[charred gust]

you got that future soldier helmet on like its 2012

[charred gust]

go to it

[stark oyster]

What drip I got on?

I forgor

[shrewd sparrow]

Have you played conquest yet?

[charred gust]

nope

[stark oyster]

The specs bro!

[charred gust]

jumping straight in

[shrewd sparrow]

Imo it's better than greenstone

It's more like WL

[charred gust]

so anyways

whats the name of that attachment they all use in the videos

that green laser thing

[shrewd sparrow]

That's the peq-15 I think

[charred gust]

the one they use to do those cool shots where they're lying in the grass and aim at someone's head

[shrewd sparrow]

Sorry

No

That's the MAWL-DA

The MAWL-DA is the green one and the best laser in the game

@charred gust it's only cool to use if you turn the cross hair off because then you can actually use your laser to aim

I actually recommend turning MOST HUD stuff off. I can tell you the settings I use

[charred gust]

how does the uhhhhhh

unlocking attachments work in this one

leveling up or you gotta find them or what

[shrewd sparrow]

You buy them, find them, and some come from leveling up

And idk if you saw but the one you want is the MAWL-DA

[charred gust]

the hud is goated i currently have just indicators for ammo and my equipment

then if i want the other stuff i can just press the down arrow and it brings it up

then i make it go away again

it's such a nice system

[shrewd sparrow]

I have the ammo and stuff in the bottom left on and I have the quest objective on but set to small so it's not intrusive

Everyone thing else is on "never"

[charred gust]

AYO WHAT

SYNC SHOT ?

this just popped up

[shrewd sparrow]

@charred gust we should probably actually go back to operation greenstone for now

We'll play op motherland when we have some more stuff

[charred gust]

i need to get my bread up

[shrewd sparrow]

Let's play a few of the early story missions since we both have nothing

[charred gust]

yeah

[shrewd sparrow]

We can go find some attachments and guns and drip

[charred gust]

i want that fully upgraded mk17

with the green laser

that dual scope with the 2 modes and shit

[shrewd sparrow]

Have u been watching breakpoint videos or something

[charred gust]

yes, before i got it

bro i cant get over the fact

they put fucking shane from the walking dead

in this

[shrewd sparrow]

He's like the best character in this game but we kill him after like 3 story missions

[charred gust]

[shrewd sparrow]

Oops

Sorry I forgot that some people might actually give a shit about this games story

If you do you probably shouldn't it will only disappoint you.

[charred gust]

[stark oyster]

[shrewd sparrow]

Are you watching the cutscene?

[charred gust]

yeah

im fully engaged with the plot

[shrewd sparrow]

I'm out here in the chopper when your done

[queen torrent]

i've returned from the dead

why are there skull emojis on genral and other games

[shrewd sparrow]

Halloween server event

[queen torrent]

cringe smh

should've put vergil as each channel name

[shrewd sparrow]

@charred gust there's a hat over here in this box

[charred gust]

i love the drone

it helps my lazy self

since i can just use it to teleport where you are

[queen torrent]

power rangers was such a good shows

[shrewd sparrow]

Yeah we're playing BP

[queen torrent]

[queen torrent]

vergil solos gaming

[stark oyster]

He does

He solos everything.

[charred gust]

can u like start a cutscene or something

so i can join it

[shrewd sparrow]

@charred gust fast travel to me or a bivouac from the map

[queen torrent]

[charred gust]

[queen torrent]

need some doom eternal tips

[charred gust]

@shrewd sparrow i already love this

lmfao

like you're not on godmode

like other games

also brb

[shrewd sparrow]

You can be

[stark oyster]

DEVIL TRIGGER!!!

[shrewd sparrow]

There's this thing I call "ultra easy" more where you put your enemy difficulty to the easiest, put injuries to never, put health Regen to maximum, and stamina to never

You literally cannot be killed

[shrewd sparrow]

I once did it and just left my character idling in the middle of an active base for about a minute

[blazing wraith]

chicken mode

[shrewd sparrow]

They literally couldn't do enough damage to stop me from out healing with the max health regeneration

[charred gust]

bruh i love how fast they killed me

[stark oyster]

[charred gust]

like this is some serious shit

[manic hill]

@stark oyster got 🧁 Halloween Treats!

[stark oyster]

[shrewd sparrow]

But I think it's super cool that the game gives you the option to do it because you can use it to roleplay. Like for example if you are wearing more armor it would make sense for you to have maybe more health regeneration and less chance of injury but also less stamina

They are building the fucking terminator @charred gust

[charred gust]

TERMINATOR

[shrewd sparrow]

You see why I make fun of this game

So fucking goofy

I can't believe night vision is a fucking skill

@charred gust I need you to do something rn

Press pause and go all the way to the right to the "options" tab

[charred gust]

what

[shrewd sparrow]

Press "World Parameters"

Put drone presence and Azrael patrols on reduced and none

Leave helicopter patrols on classic

[charred gust]

ok

[shrewd sparrow]

You'll thank me later

[charred gust]

[shrewd sparrow]

You do not want drones and azraels

Especially azraels

[charred gust]

it would've been cool if they did like an automatic sync shot kind of thing

https://tenor.com/view/forced-to-play-gif-20710116

or like in conviction where it does this cool slow mo effect on each of them firing it

[manic hill]

@honest crane got 🍬 Halloween Treats!

[shrewd sparrow]

You can do that with the AI teammates but not with players.

With players sync shot is basically just for pinging enemies and coordinating takedowns.

There is however an item called the sync shot drone which sync shots for you even in multiplayer I believe

[manic hill]

@stark oyster got 🎃 Pumpkin!

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/993471132193792000/1025609776681451561/attachment.gif

[shrewd sparrow]

@charred gust I gotta head out rn but play some more without me

Play those early story missions

And get used to the game and stuffs

[charred gust]

ok we'll continue later

[shrewd sparrow]

👍

I have 6 hours to play by myself with the trial so I'll probably use that time to grind solo and get some stuff aswell

[charred gust]

thats actually cool that they give u that

[shrewd sparrow]

Yeah

It's pretty neat

I get 6 hours solo and unlimited time with a friend

[charred gust]

they just unlocked the ability to get AI teammates for me

lmfao

they put r6s characters in here

[shrewd sparrow]

Yeah it's kinda goofy ahhh

[charred gust]

i swear devs at ubisoft get way too much shit thrown at them because of the garbage surrounding the company

[shrewd sparrow]

There's a whole R6 dlc

[charred gust]

but like this kind of shit is what redeems it for me

[shrewd sparrow]

Lol I think breakpoint is pretty cool

[charred gust]

like no way my boi thatcher is here

[shrewd sparrow]

It's got a lot of flaws but it's unique

[shrewd sparrow]

Yeah

You can also buy R6 skins in the shop so you can play as the operator. Thatcher, finka, and ash you can buy ingame and the others you buy with real money

A lot of them look super ugly though

But I have Mozzie on playstation

[charred gust]

[shrewd sparrow]

And on Wildlands I had Valkyrie

[charred gust]

how much do they cost tho

[stark oyster]

Real money

Like 10 bucks

[charred gust]

[stark oyster]

I CAN'T TYPE

NERO IS SPAMMING ME

WEMD<WMDK>MWD<

[charred gust]

spam him back

[stark oyster]

check #🤖︱bot-commands

[shrewd sparrow]

Also another thing about breakpoint that I really like is that every gone is usable

Especially after you max out your skill tree an unlock weapon mastery

Every gun in the game is good

[stark oyster]

I love gones

[shrewd sparrow]

Meanwhile in Wildlands some guns are just shit

[stark oyster]

Headshots were still viable

[shrewd sparrow]

Yeah

[stark oyster]

Click the cookie

[shrewd sparrow]

But Wildlands has really good loud gameplay

[manic hill]

@shrewd sparrow, @stark oyster got 🍪 Halloween Treats x 2!

[stark oyster]

Infinite pistol ammo

[shrewd sparrow]

It's so annoying how both games simultaneously do so much right and so much wrong

[stark oyster]

Yea

[charred gust]

i just checked and apparently ubisoft shut down the servers for splinter cell conviction and blacklist

here i was planning to buy them

[stark oyster]

Both have some awesome ideas though.

The Predator easter egg was cool

[shrewd sparrow]

They removed that whole Collab

[stark oyster]

What

[shrewd sparrow]

In like 2019

[stark oyster]

[shrewd sparrow]

Or 2020

Idk when

But the rights they had expired

Or something

[stark oyster]

rip

It would've been cool if we got a part 2 tbh

[shrewd sparrow]

If you got the cosmetics you still have them like the tattoo and helmet

[manic hill]

@shrewd sparrow, @stark oyster, @honest crane got 🧁 Halloween Treats x 5!

[shrewd sparrow]

Breakpoint has the shit ass Terminator world perameter

The Terminator event is truly awful.

[stark oyster]

It was kinda fun.

[shrewd sparrow]

The whole Collab is an L

I think it's a bit too goofy

I never beat that event

I only beat the R6 one

[stark oyster]

Me neither

Actually, I'm not even sure I beat it.

[charred gust]

@shrewd sparrow @stark oyster quick trivia about splinter cell

[stark oyster]

It felt like a fever dream

[charred gust]

did you know that the ps3 / x360 versions of conviction and blacklist are the only ones that have split screen co op

for PC they just decided fuck you

[stark oyster]

Never played it

[charred gust]

and then they had the audacity to go and kill the servers

[shrewd sparrow]

Cool I guess 😳

[charred gust]

so like rn the only way you could play co op with someone is if you invited them over

and had them sit there with you

[charred gust]

bro like

legit

[shrewd sparrow]

Does Xbox have no share play system

L

[charred gust]

i've been asking all my irl friends for years now

[charred gust]

afaik conviction servers apparently still work

even tho they said they don't

they also recently said they killed blacklist's servers

but idk if thats true either

[manic hill]

@shrewd sparrow, @stark oyster got 🍪 Halloween Treats x 3!

[shrewd sparrow]

I've only ever played blacklist but not the multiplayer

[charred gust]

blacklist multiplayer was ass

spies vs mercs in general is an L imo

also it only had like 4 co op missions that were generic garbage

conviction had a full blown campaign

AND

the best part is it did what a way out does at the end

i'm like half convinced to buy it but i'm afraid i'll find the servers online dead for it

@shrewd sparrow so i just went down a rabbit hole of backwards compat

and i'm about to order rdr1, conviction and blacklist off of no man's land

also known as ebay

and before you ask why i'm not just buying them digitally i want the classic inserting disc experience

actually for rdr1 i might get it digitally

why the fuck are people charging 120$ for it

[lusty wave]

True

[shrewd sparrow]

I don't understand, but you do you I guess

[charred gust]

i just wanna stick the disc in

[lusty wave]

Hey I’m just asking but does anyone know what this game is?

aaaannnd I can’t send screenshots nvm

[shrewd sparrow]

Send it to me in DM's I can try to answer if I know it

[shrewd sparrow]

@charred gust you ever play Wildlands?

[charred gust]

yeah but i got bored of it quickly

[shrewd sparrow]

Ok

If you give it some time it can be really fun that's all I'm gonna say

Like if you level up the rebel ops

You can call mortar fire and rebel support and create mini wars between factions

The loud gunfights in that game are beautiful

Meanwhile in BP the enemies just rush at you with a KSG

[charred gust]

i played it for like 10 hours, i didn't like the map and the fact that it was doing the same shit over and over again made it stale for me

[shrewd sparrow]

Nah I like that

I like that the mission variety is simple it gives you freedom

They just say "blowup 5 vehicles" and don't care how you do it

[shrewd sparrow]

Do you like breakpoints map more than Wildlands?

[charred gust]

i havent played breakpoint enough to give a final verdict but so far what i saw was mid

like it hit me earlier but wildlands' map reminded me alot of just cause 3's

and breakpoint's of just cause 4's

[shrewd sparrow]

Breakpoint is just an island with 3 environments.... Jungles, grasslands, and mountains

Wildlands had basically every type of biome which I loved

[charred gust]

this starting area atleast that's like a big jungle is not it for me tbh

[shrewd sparrow]

I process it in my head this way too

[charred gust]

the thing for me is i actually didn't think just cause 4's map was mid because they made it work with it, it was actually fun

[shrewd sparrow]

That's all breakpoints map is. Then there's one big mountain with snow on it

[charred gust]

the thing that i like more tho is nighttime in breakpoint

in wildlands idk it didn't have that nighttime vibe to it

[shrewd sparrow]

Do you have "Darkest Night" on

Goated setting

So many games are too scared to make night time actually dark!!!!!

[charred gust]

breakpoint's night time is like when you're out at 2 am near the outskirts of the city

[charred gust]

hell yeah i do

[charred gust]

yeah

like its supposed to be night time

i literally dont get it

[shrewd sparrow]

I literally wanna not be able to see without a light source or night vision

The dying light games actually have good night time

But it's kinda the whole gimmick

[charred gust]

its like they have 40000 lamps everywhere and even the "dark" areas have some sort of light source that ruins it

[shrewd sparrow]

The next ghost recon game NEEDS to have proper sapping.

Like in Wildlands and BP you can hit the generator and it turns off most of the lights but still, especially in Wildlands, some remain on

I want to completely sap the power

And do a night raid

But even still in WL night raiding is so much more badass because the cartel actually sleeps so if you don't make a sound you can sneak through a base and melee every cartel member as they sleep and take out whoever is awake/patrolling

It's so FUCKING cool

Meanwhile in BP they never sleep

Constant alert. Even at like 3 AM

It makes me think why even play in night time.

Besides the fact that it feels cool

[charred gust]

they need to make a map thats memorable even if it means making it smaller imo

[shrewd sparrow]

I thought Wildlands was pretty damn memorable

[charred gust]

just do what RDR2 did

[shrewd sparrow]

It's so easy to soak up that world

Wildlands is very immersive if you just give in to it

Like when I play it I can tell they really tried to build Bolivia to feel real

With breakpoint and the fictional island of Auroa, it all just feels to science fiction

From the get-go

Bolivia feels real. The architecture and culture especially

The radio stations and OST

[charred gust]

the thing that put me off about wildlands map' is just how much it resembled that plain landscape you see in other games, it had that vibe where i feel like i've already seen it before

[shrewd sparrow]

and fighting cartel in south America is way more believable than fighting a robot army on a long lost pacific island

[charred gust]

its also the same reason why i think fh5's mexico is not that impressive apart from the inner cities

[shrewd sparrow]

I agree but it's part of what I like about it. Like in terms of ghost recon I want it to be grounded and believable because that's more immersive to me. I'd rather be engrossed in a dull south American countryside than a futuristic cyborg island because the full south American countryside is more realistic

I know that's not what everyone wants

But I value that

[shrewd sparrow]

See a game like Forza I think SHOULD have a well put together and videogame-ey landscape

Because it's a racing game

[manic hill]

@shrewd sparrow, @quasi prairie, @wet sphinx, @stark oyster got 🍫 Halloween Treats x 3!

[shrewd sparrow]

It's more fun I'd there's fun stuff to look at

[plain vine]

What am I here for, Kippie?

[charred gust]

yeah the thing is it's hard to do it in any other way, they have to make an open world in their own way it's not like you're making a gta game, its a weird format that only they do

[shrewd sparrow]

But I kinda want ghost recon to be depressive

[stark oyster]

You missed the candy!

[plain vine]

[shrewd sparrow]

We aren't arguing

Just talking about video game maps

We have a disagreement about Wildlands but we aren't arguing just saying what we think about it

Neither of us are trying to change the others mind

[charred gust]

unpopular opinion but i think the next game they should completely change their map philosophy

[shrewd sparrow]

I just want Africa

Give me Africa

Please Ubi

[charred gust]

their current take on it is we'll have an actual district or 2 and then everything else is mountains jungles and plains

and like how many times am i gonna play in that kind of map before getting bored of it

[shrewd sparrow]

My dream ghost recon map is basically Wildlands but where that massive lake and surrounding desert is in the top middle of the map should just be a massive city instead

[charred gust]

like its just messed up, then they make you pay 40$ for an addons bundle to play the expansions they did to keep you playing

[shrewd sparrow]

So a big expansive countryside similar to buy better than Wildlands and then a big city.

Like Advanced Warfighter

[charred gust]

far cry 3 and far cry 4 imo are the peak of ubisoft's open worlds

they both followed the creative direction of their respective games without having too many areas that just feel like shitposts thrown in there to fill the space that it breaks the experience

[blazing wraith]

AC Origins?!!!

[shrewd sparrow]

Watch Dogs 2, Far Cry 5, Ghost Recon Wildlands, both division games, and most ac games

[blazing wraith]

by open world's you mean like, the scenery?,

or like the activities

[charred gust]

i didn't mention origins because that game was huge

and like i'd rather compare the open world of ghost recon to far cry instead

[blazing wraith]

hmm.

true

ghost recon wildlands has the best open world

it's all so beautiful

[shrewd sparrow]

I agree

It's so damn immersive

[blazing wraith]

haven't played it in quite awhile

[shrewd sparrow]

I also think Watch Dogs 2 is a great open world. It perfectly encapsulates San Francisco and the NPC's feel very real

Like the conversations they have or the things they do in the street

You'll be driving and just see someone tweaking out on the sidewalk and it's like yeah that's San Francisco alright

[blazing wraith]

He doin' the griddy on the sidewalk!!

[charred gust]

they need to make a forza set in a map like that

[blazing wraith]

[charred gust]

even tho that'd technically be a need for speed

but still with forza's mechanics it would be goated

https://gamertweak.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/forza-horizon-5-review-verdict.jpg

i hate it when i see shit like this

because it's been so overused it's just boring now

[blazing wraith]

what is

[shrewd sparrow]

Have you ever played The Crew or Crew 2? I can't tell if you'd love or hate it

[manic hill]

@stark oyster got 🎃 Pumpkin!

[blazing wraith]

nah

?

[charred gust]

i played a bit of the crew 2 and loved it

[stark oyster]

[charred gust]

like thats what im talking about, have that kind of map

[shrewd sparrow]

Lol most of it is completely barren though

Because a lot of America is boring to look at

As someone who's road tripped all around this beautiful country it's a lot of corn

Good job Ubisoft

Nailed it

[charred gust]

for me its really all about the inner city, and that's where you should have most of the events going on

then again thats a tough task to do on its own

like NFS 2015 imo still has the best map of any modern racing game

[shrewd sparrow]

I like that the crew 2's map actually takes time to drive across. I used to just put on some music and drive cross country coast to coast and chill that shit would take like 45 minutes to an hour

Motorcycles are so well done in that game too

The first person can literally feels like a motovlog

Perfect FOV to feel like a GoPro

[charred gust]

the crew 2 made me wanna buy riders republic

that game looks fun as hell and its the same concept

well not exactly the same but still

[shrewd sparrow]

I played the free week of RR when it was out like 2 weeks ago

It's fun definitely worth it on sale I'd say

Imma wait for it to drop to $20 though

[charred gust]

you should uhhhhhhh

totally play NFS 2015

its also on game pass

[shrewd sparrow]

I don't like nfs that much

Hot pursuit is the only one I kinda liked

[charred gust]

i've recommended that game like 40000 times to people and i'll die by it just because of how goated it is

by goated i mean its their last game that truly gave me an underground 2 vibe

heat had the shiny neon signs and the spaceship nitro but the map was so garbage it was a let down

oh and payback tried to be forza but failed miserably

[shrewd sparrow]

🤷‍♂️

I don't play racers

Midnight Club Los Angeles was pretty goated

[charred gust]

FAX

bruh remember when game devs understood that nighttime street racing is what it's all about

[shrewd sparrow]

Rockstar games gets it

They never disappoint with their games

Just their online modes

And business practices

[charred gust]

like bro nowadays you got these mofos like forza who can't accept the fact that they're makers of an arcade game so they try to do it all at once and end up taking a massive L

their hardcore fanbase is the type that plays using a wheel with manual transmission and thinks they're playing a sim racer

[blazing wraith]

They have forza mortasport for that

but nooo, they rather make horizon games

[charred gust]

i feel like devs these days have a phobia of making a small - medium sized map, they don't understand that its not about how big the map is but the experience you deliver during that playthrough

[shrewd sparrow]

Or be rockstar and do both

But nah fr u right

Most Ubisoft maps should be half their size

For the amount of content they have

[charred gust]

like take forza for example, 80% of the races they give you are shitposts, even the showcases you get bored of eventually, and you have those god awful finale events that are like 20 minutes long

forza is honestly a game you play for like a week or 2 straight then you don't touch it until the next one comes out

[shrewd sparrow]

Honestly I was super excited to play FH5 but it disappointed me

[charred gust]

i mean it's good but still

like the gameplay and graphics are what make it fun

but everything else is just like why are you ruining all this potential

[shrewd sparrow]

I've heard fh4 is better but I wouldn't dare let myself go to england

It already stopped me from buying legion

[broken lodge]

@somber valve ik this is Honkai and not genshin but I'm gonna bug you with it anyways

[charred gust]

honestly if i'm not gonna 🧢 i agree

the only thing i see as an improvement in fh5 is the graphics

hell they dont even have super 7 high stakes

[shrewd sparrow]

I only went to england for Valhalla because vikings

[somber valve]

bonk

[shrewd sparrow]

I'm not gonna drive on the wrong side of the road

Nuh uh uh

[charred gust]

the other thing i hate is their concept of a storyline

[broken lodge]

Beeg bonk

[shrewd sparrow]

Most racing games suffer from this

[charred gust]

hurrrrrr we're bringing the horizon festival to insert where game is taking place play through this hour or 2 before you unlock online

then go ahead and do the same shit as you did in the previous games

which is literally just drive around this map that isnt any different from the last one

[shrewd sparrow]

The story of crew 2 is literally "Get more followers than your bully so you can be famous and rub it in"

The whole game is about getting more followers

[charred gust]

i think it should stick to what its always been about, you're a couple of street racers trying to make a hustle

[shrewd sparrow]

It's goofy as shit

[charred gust]

its what made movies like tokyo drift, 2 fast 2 furious and the original so goated

they forget the narrative part

[shrewd sparrow]

Dude fast 9 is obviously way better

[charred gust]

they're like hey here's generic NPC looking ass character #1 and #2

[shrewd sparrow]

Vin diesel beat up robots in space

[charred gust]

WERE SO EXCITED TO BE IN THE FESTIVAL OMG WOW YOU'RE GONNA BE THE FESTIVAL CHAMPION HURRAY

like bro who writes this shit

like this sort of stuff works if you're making a FIFA or NBA game

[charred gust]

bro unironically speaking

i havent watched their movies in so long

[shrewd sparrow]

I don't really care about it even if a racer had a good story I probably wouldn't pay attention anyway

[charred gust]

like the last one i watched was the one where you had the rock and jason statham in it

[shrewd sparrow]

I didn't even watch fast 9 I've just seen the clips

Dom literally fights cyborgs in space

None of that is an exaggeration

I'm deadass

[charred gust]

whenever a movie franchise becomes one of those celebrity showcase shitshows and they start pumping out a new movie every 2 years i just don't care for it anymore

[charred gust]

what

lmfao

[shrewd sparrow]

Fast1: cop goes undercover to bust a street racing ring

Fast9: fucking Star Wars

[charred gust]

it might sound fucked up

but like i think walker took the franchise with him tbh

thats something that not many franchises can recover from but like they didnt actually try to recover from it

they just kept shitting on it

[shrewd sparrow]

Honestly I don't think any of the movies are very good

The first few are kinda fun and I thought they were cool when I was like 15 cause boobies and cars

I think Fast5, 6, and 7 are the most enjoyable to me

[charred gust]

for me its basically like this, if you're within the lines of tokyo drift, 2 fast 2 furious, the first movie, nfs underground 1, 2 and carbon you've succeeded

[shrewd sparrow]

Even the they were already jumping the shark by those movies

[charred gust]

i didnt even bother with them because i dont think any movie franchise that isnt star wars can justifiably go beyond 3 movies

i'm also giving that exception to john wick because its john wick

and i could watch like 100 movies of him

[shrewd sparrow]

Depends on the franchise ig. All I'm saying is if I HAD to watch a fast and the furious movie it'd be one of those 3

They are goofy still but entertaining enough

I find the first few just boring now

Even Tokyo drift

It's just... Whatever

[charred gust]

oh and btw

the rock is an overrated actor

don't @ me

[shrewd sparrow]

"actor" that's overstating his roles

Bro just plays himself

[charred gust]

his acting in WWE was better

[shrewd sparrow]

He ain't no actor

[charred gust]

yes

his best acting

who knew acting like he's actually hurting a man in a ring would still be his best performance 20 years later

[charred gust]

i cant remember any wrestler who was a good actor

like the miz and john cena both did those marine movies

and they were all mid

like i swear the marine movies are the most generic garbage ive ever seen in my life

they're the modern rambos

[shrewd sparrow]

Uhm acktually John Cena played the important role of "Fred's Dad" in the Fred trilogy

So you're wrong bud

[charred gust]

i saw he's playing that superhero or whatever

in that show

just

[shrewd sparrow]

Peacemaker?

He's actually really good in it

That show is actually fucking amazing fr

[charred gust]

[shrewd sparrow]

They blow up neo-nazis

[jagged lava]

peacemaker is really good

and actually funny

[charred gust]

i'll give it a shot, i just hope his acting skills have improved since marine

[shrewd sparrow]

I think he's great in peacemaker

[jagged lava]

he plays the character really well in peacemaker

[shrewd sparrow]

He plays the musclehead idiot very well

[jagged lava]

actually forgot he was john cena for a second

[charred gust]

no way

[fallen shard]

What the hell is this?

[harsh tree]

It’s clearly hatsune Miku in the game “fall guys.”

I don’t even know if that’s actually true I only see that character cause of memes

[fallen shard]

This shit is real.

[devout berry]

😭😭😭

[woven anvil]

Hopefully orion doesnt take 7 years

[charred gust]

lmfao

[normal crown]

@hollow vector

nfs game

any thoughts?

[hollow vector]

well its not exactly out yet

[normal crown]

on what it might be*

[hollow vector]

i have no idea

[normal crown]

i really hope it's something similar to most wanted or underground 2

[hollow vector]

mw05 fans when a new game isnt mw05

[normal crown]

i'm not a fan of mw05

but it's better than 99% of the games

i admit it's one of the best nfs games ever made

[hollow vector]

so you are a fan of it

[normal crown]

only played it once

was decent

but still better

[manic hill]

@worthy ridge got 🎃 Pumpkin!

[normal crown]

than other games

i only liked underground 2

and nfs world

[patent otter]

I never played a nfs game

[normal crown]

you what

[patent otter]

I never played a nfs game

[fleet gulch]

NFS heat is really cheap rn, worth giving it a try

[normal crown]

Worth?

[normal crown]

probably

who wants to play overwatch with me

@stark oyster I will blackmail u till u do it

[charred gust]

you played nfs world ?

that game was so ahead of its time i swear

FIFA Online, NFS World, Far Cry 3

[charred gust]

what's your opinion on doing the same shit over and over again ?

[normal crown]

yes

[normal crown]

yes it was

[charred gust]

the conversations i had in nfs world chat remain to be some of the most based

[charred gust]

i absolutely hated mw12 in comparison

like everything about it, every time i remember it i get anxiety because of how dark that time was

looking back at that game there were so many things wrong with it, the garbage map that has no business being that trafficky, how garbage stock cars handle and how by the time you can get the pro mods you'll have beaten the next guy on the MW list so might as well just use his car, and then when you do get his car it also handles like shit even tho it has better acceleration and top speed than your previous upgraded car

oh and the absurdly amount of DLC cars, and the fucking airport

like whoever thought about the idea of locking an area of the fucking map behind DLC is pure 2012 EA

[normal crown]

I’ve never been really interested in ac I just want to play as ezio

[charred gust]

you play as altair in the first one

i think if you're not one of those people who get turned off when they play old games and actually like cherish the origins of how it all started you'll love it

[normal crown]

Ah, I couldn’t find the ezio collection on steam

[charred gust]

but like if you just want a quick summary to see if its worth it or not for you 80% of the game is you being an errand boy

[normal crown]

I have played ac 2 before though

[charred gust]

what kept me going through it personally is the theme / vibe and the way the locations were made

[normal crown]

Does it matter which order I play them in?

[charred gust]

it does up until the point you reach 3 and above

if you can't find the ezio collection and just wanna play an AC game then yeah go for it tbh

just like i think its good to have that idea in mind because everyone i know who went back to it got bored because of that same reason

[normal crown]

I’ll probably buy that one then, which ones have ezio in them?

[charred gust]

the ezio collection is all about him, in revelations there's some sections where you play as altair

[normal crown]

Since the collection isn’t on steam I’d just buy 2 brotherhood and revelations right?

[charred gust]

yeah pretty much

wait its not on steam anymore ?

they removed it ?

[normal crown]

I didn’t see it

Ty though

[charred gust]

yeah i just checked and they never packed them, i guess they figured it wasnt worth it

have fun

[normal crown]

hi

[stiff patrol]

Hey

[stiff patrol]

What you up to

[thin tendon]

Is the last of us 2 good?

[honest creek]

VERY mixed opinions from the people I’ve talked to, maybe try it yourself

[normal crown]

playing game

overwatch

[normal crown]

maybe

[thin tendon]

I mean the first the last of us was great so the 2nd can’t be worse

[stiff patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/are-you-sure-john-cena-ru-sure-about-dat-gif-14258954

[normal crown]

[normal crown]

Lmao

[charred gust]

@shrewd sparrow

my collection is almost complete

ac1 is backwards compat too so i can add it there eventually, then i'll just need 3 and the chronicles trilogy which i only played india and china for like 2 hours each anyways

india was really vibrant and had a nice overall feel to it imo

[normal crown]

guys

[charred gust]

@stark oyster do u have ac unity ?

[normal crown]

I need someone to play overwatch with

[charred gust]

we could do co op with @shrewd sparrow if you guys decide to get it

i never played unity co op cuz i had no one to play it with

[charred gust]

so like buy an xbox and play unity co op with us

and i'll play OW with u

[normal crown]

fricking

shit

[honest crane]

Interesting how Odyssey has the most diverse logo

[radiant steppe]

(context: in ffxv, lara croft will occasionally photobomb in-game snapshots as a reference to the tomb raider)

[blazing wraith]

[vernal tiger]

You did not just compliment chronicles

[granite nacelle]

so is ow2 garbage

?

[devout berry]

@somber valve it certainly has gotten complicated 💀

[granite nacelle]

probably but is it?

[vernal tiger]

It’s just overwatch with a couple new features

If you were a fan of ov1 you’ll like it

[normal crown]

It's fun

It's my first time playing overwatch and i like it quite a lot

It's def my fave multiplayer game rn

[normal crown]

Come to India for the same vibe (real)

[stiff patrol]

@upper bramble

How destiny going

[upper bramble]

Still on vacation

In Italy

Rome

[honest crane]

Bruv. How long have you been on vacation lol

[upper bramble]

This is suppose to be a 6 week vacation but is 5

Going home on the 16th

[honest crane]

😎

[stiff patrol]

Did you see new emote in eververse?

Well

New for bright dust store

[honest crane]

No I haven't

[vernal tiger]

Ngl destiny isn’t fun for me this season

[stiff patrol]

I can’t find here

[stiff patrol]

It’s alright

Pirate theme is saving it for me

[vernal tiger]

Don’t get me wrong the seasonal activities are great, especially ketchcrash, but I don’t have the time to grind or raid anymore and I’m losing interest because I’m locked out of all of the best activities

[stiff patrol]

That makes sense, I only play it now when someone else plays it with me now

[vernal tiger]

I still think difficulties in the game should lock you at a specific level sorta like gms (excluding the pinnacle grind beforehand), rather than making a difficulty unplayable until you reach a certain power level

[manic hill]

@worn isle got 🎃 Pumpkin!

[stiff patrol]

I know they apparently plan on reworking light level throughout lightfall year

But you’ll now what that means

A fucking mess

Till they come to a solution

[vernal tiger]

Yeah, it’s completely based on seasonal grind, making it even worse than it already is

[stiff patrol]

As they are going to try changing it and I imagine first few changes will fuck up a lot

[vernal tiger]

I’d honestly prefer if they removed the power levels altogether and scaled the enemies based on difficulty level

[stiff patrol]

It should just be skill yeah

You can choose like easy, normal, hard and challenge or something

Same tiers just no levels

Just be good and don’t die

[vernal tiger]

Also make champions an actually good mechanic, don’t force people to use a specific exotic or weapon type just to deal with 3 enemies you can’t kill without it

[stiff patrol]

[vernal tiger]

Changing your loadout depending on what the activity is like is a good system, but forcing a specific loadout is just poor game design

[stiff patrol]

Yeah

They could have something similar to rhulk instead

Weak spots you shoot to stun them

[vernal tiger]

And don’t get me started on the champion mods, barrier sniper is awful rn

[stiff patrol]

But they spawn on a champion at a random spot

So you can’t easily learn it you always gotta look

[blazing wraith]

honestly kinda excited

light level has been the same for so many years

and everything else has been reworked

[stiff patrol]

Mhm

Hoping it’ll be less Grindy and limiting

[blazing wraith]

yeah

[shrewd sparrow]

Nice I have them all on PS besides 1 because it's not on there but I'm gonna buy the remaster

[shrewd sparrow]

It's super buggy but can be fun

[granite nacelle]

my man time stopped

to dodge that ball

[paper thicket]

[stable crown]

It's not really buggy at all

[shrewd sparrow]

Last time I played it it was and I doubt anythings been changed since then

In co-op the game literally breaks

Enemies can spot you through walls, enemy locations don't sync right, player animations look super janky, and the game is just generally more glitchy

[fallen shard]

Payday 2 dodge build in nutshell.

@honest crane @charred gust Gotham knights previews are out

Skillup had a video on it I just watched the whole thing but now I can't find it idk if he removed it off his channel or something

He basically said everything is mid but the story

And compared it a lot to Arkham

I trust him, but too be fair this is the same dude who didn't like DOOM Eternal

[honest crane]

Cringeup

[shrewd sparrow]

This week in videogames is a good series

But his reviews kinda suck

[jagged lava]

it's not an unfair judgement from the gameplay so far to say it's gonna be mid tho

[shrewd sparrow]

I mean he's a good reviewer I just don't agree with him a lot

[jagged lava]

the gameplay looks ass for gotham knight

s

[shrewd sparrow]

I don't think it's unfair

I think it's unfair to compare it to Arkham

And also pointless

[shrewd sparrow]

I think it looks fun. Even when he was talking shit and showing gameplay I'm like "damn it looks pretty fun"

[jagged lava]

did the same people who made it make gotham knights

[shrewd sparrow]

No

[jagged lava]

oh ok yea then it's unfair

[shrewd sparrow]

Rocksteady made the main Arkham trilogy and WB Montreal made Arkham origins and Gotham knights

[jagged lava]

idk to me the fighting just doesn't seem all that impactful

can't say anything about the story but the traversal feels goofy too with the fortnite glider and mystical leap or whatever

[shrewd sparrow]

Not only that it's not the same devs but also one of the first things we heard about Gotham knights over 2 years ago now was that it has nothing to do with the Arkham series. It's its own universe and its own Gotham city and they have completely different ideas for the gameplay and combat

[jagged lava]

it's definitely a fresh new concept with a batman game where batman is dead but the story is gonna have to be really good to justify it imo

[shrewd sparrow]

It's more dodge roll, positioning, and counter attacking based over Arkhams counters and beat em up

Batman's position in the playspace never matters

But it seems like here it matters

[shrewd sparrow]

Skillup said the story is the best part to him but from what I've seen I thought it seemed kinda cringe

But we'll see

[jagged lava]

i also feel like red hood is kind of in a weird middle ground

the whole rubber armour piercing (how) bullets thing just kinda makes me not be able to take him seriously

[shrewd sparrow]

@jagged lava is this a reference???? Do you understand this????? Chinese????

[shrewd sparrow]

It's a comic book game

None of it makes sense

[jagged lava]

i think i've discussed this with someone here where i think if he had a sort of separate darker storyline where he's like killing to obtain justice and at odds with the rest of the team it would make it really interesting

i think he already does that in some of the comic books

[jagged lava]

i think that says chinese supermarket

[shrewd sparrow]

Red hood shouldnt be able to jump in the air, robin shouldn't be able to teleport, Nightwing shouldnt be able to pull a Fortnite glider out of his ass

[jagged lava]

hope this helps 👍

[shrewd sparrow]

These things don't really make any sense

[shrewd sparrow]

Oh thanks

NGL I think a problem with modern DC is that so many DC Games and films have now been made in a more realistic and grounded universe and have worked super well. (The Nolan movies, The Arkham trilogy, The Joker, The Suicide Squad [which was goofy but didn't take itself seriously it was literally a satire of its own source material] and I'm sure there's others I'm leaving out)

But essentially I feel like this is making it harder for more comic book-ey games and stuff to exist without heavy criticism and comparison

I mean I think the realistic and gritty settings work very well too. And I would have preferred if Gotham knights took that approach

But it's their game, they wanted it to be more comic-ey while also taking itself seriously which is something we haven't seen for DC in a while

Nobody cares that the avengers for example fought aliens in New York cause there's no precedent set by a decade of culture for the avengers to be dark and gritty, yaknow?

[devout berry]

is this fortnite

[shrewd sparrow]

Yeah

They added China

New collab

[devout berry]

:O

[harsh tree]

Holy. Freaking. Shit.

Is that a

SLEEPING DOGS REFRENCE

[next glen]

resting canines??????

[honest crane]

That's the one thing I just cannot fathom to understand why those were used

Transportation sounds worse than even using a grappling hook

[harsh tree]

What game are we talking about

[honest crane]

Gotham Knights

[stable crown]

The game looks fine

[blazing wraith]

The Division 2 is a great game

especially the post apocalyptic city setting.

[viral compass]

true

[shrewd sparrow]

I'm giving it it's 5th try

I really want to like it

[blazing wraith]

hmm

[shrewd sparrow]

I'm forcing myself to like it

[blazing wraith]

yeah it's a great game, but uh

you shouldn't force yourself.

that is not good.

[shrewd sparrow]

No I'm doing it because I really like the setting and just like how immersive it is but I don't like the looter shooter elements and bullet spongy enemies

But I'm forcing myself to grind it a bit and come around to the looter shooter elements

So I can get more out of what I DO like

I also really enjoy the combat

Like I like how drawn out the firefights can be

So I guess the bullet sponges are a necessary evil in good firefights

And right now I'm having more fun playing it than any of the other times I've tried to get into it

So I think I'm finally starting to come around with the things I don't like so much

@blazing wraith have you played the DLC?

[blazing wraith]

yeah

3 times

[shrewd sparrow]

Is it any good?

[blazing wraith]

hmm..

[manic hill]

@blazing wraith got 🎃 Pumpkin!

[shrewd sparrow]

I see it on sale a lot for as low as 8 bucks

[blazing wraith]

yes imo it is

I like the location of it

and the story was aight from what I remember

[shrewd sparrow]

Did you ever play the division 1?

[blazing wraith]

yeah.

never have finished that one though.

[shrewd sparrow]

I played the Beta

[manic hill]

@worn isle, @shrewd sparrow, @blazing wraith, @upper bramble got 🍬 Halloween Treats x 2!

[shrewd sparrow]

So far one thing I like is the world

It's pretty immersive for me

[charred gust]

you know whos more than aight tho

[shrewd sparrow]

Allows me to roleplay

[blazing wraith]

who

[charred gust]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-doggy-dogs-snake-dog-snake-bite-dog-gif-23189463

[blazing wraith]

yeah

I really love the uhh world

it's all so pretty. aside from the dead bodies everywhere.

[blazing wraith]

https://tenor.com/view/baklang-aso-rikithewor-id-gif-23027312

[shrewd sparrow]

I like the fact that so many buildings are enterable and mildly explorable even outside of the ones that are used for missions or control ooints

And the underground system is cool

Having shortcut routes through the city via the sewers

Like that stuff is just so badass

@blazing wraith about how big is the map of the expansion?

[shrewd sparrow]

Damn

[blazing wraith]

not that huge compared to D1 and D2

takes awhile to travel still though.

[shrewd sparrow]

But does it atleast have a good amount of interiors or no?

[blazing wraith]

yeah.

[shrewd sparrow]

Sweet

[blazing wraith]

atleast I think so. been a year since I last played WOW

[shrewd sparrow]

Man the division 1 map really had the DZ running straight through the center of it huh

Also @charred gust we were talking about map size before and I now that I'm playing the division 2 I think it almost nails it. Like the map is big but not massive and focuses on minor details over expansiveness and since you're only mode of transportation is walking it makes the map feel massive and forces you to pay attention to you're surroundings

It's pretty neat

[charred gust]

[shrewd sparrow]

I want a ghost recon game in/with a city like this

Obviously not post apocalypse

Just detailed

[charred gust]

valid take

[manic hill]

@worn isle got 🎃 Pumpkin!

[blazing wraith]

That would be amazin' honestly

you like raid buildings n stuff

hide in trash bins when stealth

[shrewd sparrow]

Yeah man it would be sick

I would still like at least a little bit of countryside as we've had both Wildlands and breakpoint now

But a big city with a lot of detail and a bunch of explorable interiors

Would be so awesome

Something similar to GTA5's map I suppose

Just obviously not in America

Or maybe America could work for a GR game

I dunno

[charred gust]

just have a game that you open it up

and it plays this gif over and over again

https://tenor.com/view/dog-doggy-dogs-snake-dog-snake-bite-dog-gif-23189463

worth 70$

[shrewd sparrow]

Id buy it

It would be the best thing Ubisoft put out since AC2

[charred gust]

yes

[viral compass]

Would there be skins in the game?

[charred gust]

no

because he is already perfect as is

[viral compass]

I made a skin

[blazing wraith]

oh gah.

hmm

[quasi prairie]

Spooky boy.

[blazing wraith]

fr

what a spooky guy

[keen folio]

thats a weird game

[green wing]

bruh i was just tryna be afk
