@hollow vector how is weapon leveling And player level? Most say its slow

[hollow vector]

not that bad

[pseudo swallow]

Takes 3-5 hours non stop playing to get max level on a gun

[hollow vector]

depends on the gun

[pseudo swallow]

Oh

[hollow vector]

player level is quick

[pseudo swallow]

Snipers unlock scopes when you max level them

[hollow vector]

ive been lvl 55 for quite a while

ive maxed all snipers

[pseudo swallow]

Bruh

Dont forget to blink

[hollow vector]

imo the best sniper scope is the signal 50 default

[pseudo swallow]

Remember when you got variable and default

And mw2019 had different ones

But you could equick em while levelinng up, not when the weapon is max

[hollow vector]

i didnt play mw19

[upper bramble]

they needa fix the spawns in mw2

[hollow vector]

[hollow vector]

[upper bramble]

[pseudo swallow]

Rememver dark matter?

Black sky was so good tbh

[upper bramble]

the new dark matter should have been the mastery camo instead of orion

[upper bramble]

hard asf to get tho

I wonder what the DLC weapons in the future would be

I bet $50 they gonna add the Barret 50 Cal

[upper bramble]

give me

[pseudo swallow]

Imagine this in mw22

[hollow vector]

i mean we got the signal 50

[pseudo swallow]

Where acr

Intervention

[upper bramble]

I mean they are both different snipers in a way

[hollow vector]

serve the same purpose

[pseudo swallow]

https://tenor.com/view/sniper-dual-guns-crazy-people-gif-21026588

[hollow vector]

thats literally the signal 50

also they dont have real guns apart from the m4

[pseudo swallow]

Barett 50 cal

I can hear the screams of terror

[hollow vector]

im gonna go for gold ak

[pseudo swallow]

[fleet gulch]

@hollow vector why are there 2 of me?

[hollow vector]

happened to me once

my guy looks cooler

[fleet gulch]

why the fuck is my game blurry?!

[fleet gulch]

[stiff patrol]

I really want to buy the game

But I’m just not sure

[stiff patrol]

Can you bite me

[patent otter]

@fleet gulch i need you to bite me

SBMM is a broken system in cod

[honest crane]

[honest crane]

Looks to be the most demanding game so far in terms of specs

I mean have you seen the fucking gameplay?

[patent otter]

No

[honest crane]

Dog better

[brittle spoke]

Hi i have a question

hello I have a problem I did all the tests of the night owls on Dying light 2 it did not unlock the trophy in question (true night owl) ps4 platform id TREVORANGEL66

[patent otter]

If dogs are better, why is there not a single dog emote but lots of cat emotes

Riddle me that

[honest crane]

Because cats are overrated ASF

[patent otter]

No

You are just wrong

[honest crane]

😎

[vital vector]

Dogs are the better pets.
You see a lot of cat emotes because they're a joke.

[patent otter]

Still haven't heard a single argument as to why dogs are suposed to be better

[vital vector]

Dog = God

[honest crane]

Dog = God

[vital vector]

🙏

[patent otter]

And god doesn't exist

Neither does your argument

Warcraft looking different these days

[normal crown]

My fucking god

I got spoiled for GOW again

im not opening youtube

[broken galleon]

https://youtu.be/8yBhwETjFHI

[stark oyster]

Thumbnail spoiler?

[broken galleon]

Its pretty surprising lol

[stark oyster]

Self promotion!!!!!!!!

Ban!!!

[broken galleon]

I fuckin HATE that shit lol.

[stark oyster]

Me too

That shit should be a federal crime

[broken galleon]

Its not just games either

Anime is BAD for that

[stark oyster]

Movies...

Shows...

[broken galleon]

Everytime I see one if those I do the youtube "don't recommend" and if it's really bad I just report em lol

[stark oyster]

Anything that can be spoiled can, and has a thumbnail spoiler

[broken galleon]

I know it doesn't do anything but it's the most I CAN do lol

[stark oyster]

Bro MW2 got mad spoiled for me

Silly ass week early campaign

[broken galleon]

BTW is it a remake of the original?

[stark oyster]

Yes

[broken galleon]

So how is it a spoiler?

Shit goes differently?

[stark oyster]

It's a remake, not a remaster.

[broken galleon]

Ah

[stark oyster]

Different direction.

[broken galleon]

Like ff7

[stark oyster]

I think, I haven't played those games.

[broken galleon]

The original ff7 was the first turn based rpg I ever enjoyed

And finished

The remake is ALOT different in a good way in every regard

The ending though is not just a lil different...

Its a pretty world bending change lol

[stark oyster]

The MW2 remake is different, but not vastly different.

Mostly same characters, just different plot.

[broken galleon]

Not sure how the game would hold up to someone who doesn't have the nostalgia attatched to it

[neon wharf]

Ubisoft is adding drone skins to siege

[broken galleon]

I did love the combat in the ff7 remake though

[jagged lava]

‼️GOW:R SPOILERS‼️

how df i put food in the michael wave bruh

[broken galleon]

Turn based combat in rpgs is pretty....terrible

[stark oyster]

Spoilers for MW2 ||I forgor||

[broken galleon]

With the exception of boss fights, anything not a boss fight in a classic final fantasy game Is quite literally a chore

[neon wharf]

Everyone dies

[stark oyster]

[broken galleon]

You can just hit the attack button over and over not even looking at the screen

And win everytime

Prolly why the cellphone ports of those games have the "auto battle" feature

All it does is just select attack as fast as possible for each character

I was gonna buy the new mw 2 but then I saw the price

Not for over 70 goddamn dollars

Also pc version has constant crashing apparently

Even the console version has issues with crashing

If you can't release a game on a console without crashing then you are a failure as a company

Sure once In a blue moon in extreme cases is understandable

But this shit is during normal gameplay

[glass forge]

chill, spoilers

[terse forge]

Sorry to drop a GOW spoiler but Kratos seems like a calm and reasonable person

[stark oyster]

I said spoilers!

[glass forge]

should've made ur whole message a spoiler

||true||

[broken galleon]

Whats special about valhiem?

What sort of technical features does it have that other games dont?

[charred gust]

the RPG game ?

[broken galleon]

Is it an rpg? Looks more like a minecraft type game

I'm trying to find a new game to really dive into, something online but with some technical features most games don't have

[charred gust]

ah nvm i was thinking of outward, was about to call it mid

cuz that game was indeed mid

by mid i mean i tried playing it with a friend in co op and it was garbage

[broken galleon]

Ah, seems that way too

[charred gust]

what genre ?

[stark oyster]

Project Zomboid!

[charred gust]

Kippers!

[stark oyster]

ZK synth guy!

[charred gust]

[stark oyster]

[charred gust]

[stark oyster]

[charred gust]

so sometimes i get these crazy thoughts

[stark oyster]

Intrusive thoughts my beloved

[charred gust]

like earlier when i thought about installing rainbow six extraction

[stark oyster]

[stark oyster]

It was fun for a short while

[charred gust]

never played it, always looked mid

but is it mid tho

i know it is but still

theres never been a game i watched people play and wanted to puke like that game

[stark oyster]

Classic ubisoft game

[charred gust]

i need to start making a mid games tier list

[broken galleon]

I want to get into something that pushes the envelope on a technical level

[stark oyster]

Ubisoft will have a unique tier

[charred gust]

aliens fireteam elite would be up there in my list

[stark oyster]

Project Zomboid is very depthy

[broken galleon]

Ike for instance I was playing red dead 2 and noticed it has some basic simulation of water current thats affected by games physics engine

[charred gust]

try to make a good 3rd person aliens co op game challenge : impossible

[stark oyster]

I wanted to play that with my friends

They just all said no

[charred gust]

uhhhhhh they're pretty old now but maybe try the red faction games ? specifically guerrilla

i remember the building destruction in that game was insane

[broken galleon]

Already played threw em a buncha times

[charred gust]

good

[broken galleon]

Even the remaster

[stark oyster]

[broken galleon]

Thats why I was excited about teardown and was extremely dissappinted by the actual game

[charred gust]

i was so excited for that game then i uninstalled it after like 4 hours

[broken galleon]

Awesome tech....shit game

[charred gust]

and was pissed off for the rest of the week

[broken galleon]

Guerilla?

[charred gust]

right, like everything else was mid, below average game studio quality even

[broken galleon]

Ghe story was meh but the gameplay itself was great

[charred gust]

aliens fireteam elite

that game literally died faster than predator hunting grounds, how do u do that

[broken galleon]

Ah, the only decent aliens game I played was this aliens vs predator on pc in early 2000

I think that was its name

[charred gust]

avp multiplayer was goated

[broken galleon]

The alien could climb all over the walls an shit

Good shit

Pc exclusives were so amazing back in those days

[charred gust]

they need to make a new avp game if they cant make a good game from either franchise

[broken galleon]

Like jedi knight pvp

Shit was insane

[charred gust]

they need to give the callisto protocol studio an alien project

[broken galleon]

Call me crazy but Ioved prometheus

[charred gust]

@broken galleon have u played death stranding ?

[broken galleon]

Yup, loved it

[charred gust]

[broken galleon]

Longest ending cutscene I've ever experienced but every second was in fuckin credible

[charred gust]

the last guardian ?

[broken galleon]

That doesn't sound familiar

[charred gust]

i thought that game was pretty impressive, as in how the creature moves and stuff

[broken galleon]

Doesn't seem to be on pc though

[charred gust]

oh you want PC stuff

[broken galleon]

Yeah I got no consoles

[charred gust]

thats the thing like not many games really innovate that much to stand out from the rest on the technical stuff, apart from graphics

[broken galleon]

Just a pc with rtx 3080

[charred gust]

have u played the recent just cause games ?

they have the most satisfying explosions imo

[broken galleon]

Star citizen was amazing but every major update wipes all your progress

So I stopped playing it

Its one of the most technically impressive games I've ever seen though.

[charred gust]

if you just want a game that blows your mind with how much shit it has maybe play civ 6

[broken galleon]

Im too damn dumb to appreciate strategy games

Command and conquer is as far as I can go lmao

[charred gust]

civ is pretty goated because of how it doesnt convolute your screen right away with so much shit

they even have a full fledged tutorial that's like an hour long but at the same time its an actual session of its own

[shrewd sparrow]

call of duty

Innovation? Huh?

[charred gust]

they basically give you the ropes and then tell you go on, the session doesnt end till you win or lose

[shrewd sparrow]

[broken galleon]

I wish they would make a new black and white title

That game is begging to have a remake done entirely for vr

[charred gust]

activision realizing what their mistake was back in 2019

them a year later :

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/765706200150179841/1028629948191223899/DZDZD.gif

[broken galleon]

I would train my creature to only shit on buildings

It was halarious seeing a turd crash through someone's roof

[shrewd sparrow]

The only thing that interests me about mw2 is spec ops. The multiplayer just looks like same old and I suppose the campaign is probably pretty good

[charred gust]

that would be hilarious tbh

[broken galleon]

Ever played it?

It had some revolutionary AI that really hasn't been seen in gaming since

[charred gust]

campaigns and zombies are literally the only reason i still buy them, multiplayer is just an itch u need to scratch for like 3 hours then you're done with it (assuming you already went through the grind in previous titles for long enough that it gets boring)

[charred gust]

nope didnt have the chance to

[shrewd sparrow]

The thing about the new cod engine is it could make one helluva immersive tactical shooter with how slow and methodical it can be

But instead it's just tac sprinting and spamming jump/slide

[broken galleon]

Oh man check this out https://youtu.be/GtNvEna6bxc

[charred gust]

the thing about cod is they're back on their BS again

[broken galleon]

It has ACTUAL artificial intelligence

[charred gust]

if BF was half the franchise they once were they'd make them look like clowns once again, 2042 was their opportunity and they missed

imagine stealing tac sprint and making it shittier, like bruh

[broken galleon]

They didn't even have a UI at all

All the spells were cast by tracing shapes with your floating hand

Which could be frustrating untill yiu practice it, but the fact the whole thing was you controlling a disembodied floating hand and not having a UI would translate to vr PERFECTLY

[shrewd sparrow]

Battlefield, unfortunately is completely dead.

Ever since the launch of mw2 it's almost impossible to find a server on battlefield 3, 4, and 5

Bf1 is always gonna have players and 2042 had a small revival but it's still basically a ghost town, especially on console

R.I.P battlefield.

2 bad games

And the franchise is practically dead

[broken galleon]

I havnt played battlefield since battlefield 2

Well I did play bad company 2

For the destruction physics

[shrewd sparrow]

Bad company 1 and 2 go so hard

[broken galleon]

Impressive for its time

[shrewd sparrow]

It's impressive to this day

Bc1 and 2 have better destruction than 2042

And that's not a stretch

[broken galleon]

Did you see what crackdown 3 was originally gonna be like?

They had it running an everything. It was gonna be the first big use of cloud computing making something like that work

https://youtu.be/rFWIpAPvF-Q

Even now....no game comes close to what they had running

It wasn't smoke and mirrors either, I forget what happened

[shrewd sparrow]

Lol crackdown 3

The punching bag of gaming

[charred gust]

they took it for granted since BF1 was the fan favorite and everyone shitting on IW (which apart from zombies was the best exosuit game, both in terms of campaign and multiplayer)

[broken galleon]

I only recently found out about it

[charred gust]

BF5 shouldn't have been a thing and 2042 should've been the modern 4

[broken galleon]

But they had sky scrapers tipping over and knocking down other skyscrapers

[shrewd sparrow]

Apart from zombies?? That was the only good part of iw

[broken galleon]

All in real time

[charred gust]

i thought BO3's zombies was the best of that era, however the campaign was absolute trash and i thought MP was also terrible

[shrewd sparrow]

The era of BF1, cod WW2, battlefield 5, hell let loose... Etc. Was a pain in the ass

I don't like classic/historical shooters, atleast battlefield 1 can be fun and cod WW2 had a decent campaign but that era for gaming was just so bleh

And then they prove how our of touch they are by releasing another fucking WW2 shooter last year in the form of vanguard. Bleh

[broken galleon]

If a gta title had that level of destruction for its online mode.....I'd spend most my life in it

[charred gust]

the thing is that's what the community says it wants, keyword here being says

[shrewd sparrow]

Bo3 is one of my favorite cods. I think it's got the best zombies out of all of them and I personally thought the multiplayer was amazing.

I could have done without the loot boxes but that was a product of the times, atleast the maps were great and the guns were a blast. Also the specialists were awesome, each having an offense and defense ability and being able to customize them fully

Then they went and downgraded that whole system in BO4

[charred gust]

people don't even know what they want so they indirectly bait these companies into making more of them, then when they go futuristic they tell them to go back

it's a cat and mouse chase

[broken galleon]

They should focus on what they want to do, and they should have actual passion for gaming

[shrewd sparrow]

I think most people are in agreement that COD works best during modern or not so distant future warfare

[broken galleon]

Too many peep in gaming industry spend too much time working and not enough gaming

I built a pc to play the original crysis back in the day on max settings, and that fuckin game was so far ahead of its time...

Sigh

It surpassed every other game in not just one or two ways....but in damn near every catagory

[shrewd sparrow]

Mw2 was the biggest cod launch despite it just being the same shit anyway. Clearly people like modern warfare and semi grounded combat

Me personally don't because even though the gunplay is awesome the actually gameplay of tac sprinting and sliding shit really pulls me out of it

Ideally I'd love to see a cod gamemode similar to escape from tarkov but with NO "tactical" movement. You get walk, sprint, crouch, and prone and that's it.

[broken galleon]

I used to use the the turret on vehicles to try to cut down every single palm tree in the game world

[shrewd sparrow]

Atleast spec ops can allow for a tactical experience despite being basically impossible solo (atleast on mw2019 idk about mw2 yet)

[broken galleon]

Grabbing an enemy by the throat and throwing them through the wall of one of those rickety buildings

[charred gust]

the thing is i remember when MW3 and BF3 were the hottest 2 games on the market and people were starting to see how cod hasn't innovated much in years because of what BF3 was, so you had cod fans playing defense with the "but we actually have good campaigns" argument, literally everything else was better in BF3 and cod just paled when you made the comparison, so then ghosts came out and so did BF4 and that "cod is trash talk" just kept going, so they had to go futuristic or go back, it's similar to the current state of AC, fans will say they want something but then when they get it they'll cry again for them to go back

[broken galleon]

So good

I think mw2 came out around the same time as that

Lol actually a couple years after it

It was laughable compared to crysis 1 on pc

[shrewd sparrow]

"but we actually have good campaigns" silly cod fans, BC1 and BC2 had both come out by the time BF3 was out

[charred gust]

like bro give the current cod formula 2 or 3 more years max and i can guarantee you people are gonna be trash talking it again and trying to hop on another game

[charred gust]

the casual fans are always the worst

which i assume is the type of people the big companies target

especially activision with how aggressive they price their games, they wanna make sure that little jimmy who can only afford 1 brand new cod game with his mom's credit card gets the new cod

[shrewd sparrow]

My dream is that Ubisoft does everything in their power to try to copy COD for their next ghost recon game without being COD

Basically take all the cool realistic tactical shit and put it in ghost recon, give us the ability to toggle first and third person.

Then add a pvp mode like they always do but this time actually TRY at least a little bit to make it good

Market the pvp heavily so cod fans will get interested meanwhile ghost recon fans watching silently knowing they are getting what they want, and the game they like is gaining interest

Ubisoft profits, GR fans get the game they want, and COD fans have a new game to dickride

Everyone wins

[charred gust]

crysis was insane

its a shame they eventually turned those games into a benchmark for the cryengine and that was pretty much it

[shrewd sparrow]

I do miss the days where I genuinely enjoyed cod. Always buying on release to stomp the Christmas kids, good times

I really wish I could like COD these days

I tried with WW2, I tried with BO4, i tried with MW2019 (multiple times), I tried with cold war, I tried the vanguard beta (🤮) and MW2... I'm gonna try not too buy it despite how some stuff in it looks interesting to me

[charred gust]

what ubisoft needs to do is stop listening to the dumbasses who were hating on unity at launch, who are the same people hating on the current modern formula and figure out a way to combine the best of both worlds, i recently replayed a bit of unity (couldn't get myself to keep progressing through the story just for the co op missions cuz tbh they grow old after you play like 3 or 4 of them, would've been able to playthrough all of them if i had done it the first time i played the game but whatever, that's something for me to do way later on in my life) but anyways i could see ways where they could combine both sandwiches to make an even greater one

[charred gust]

fifa cod and tekken are the same thing for me, i'll get a craving for them once in a while i have to satisfy it but then i'll go mike mode again

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/765706200150179841/1028629948191223899/DZDZD.gif

[shrewd sparrow]

They are just out of touch. They are putting more into their mobile games than their triple A titles. It's been a minute since we had a good Ubisoft AAA launch

But no division and siege need to be mobile games

Division and ghost recon need to be battle royales

They have no direction

Their fanbases have more passion than they do

I see people writing up high effort concepts with art and everything in r/forhonor

Similar thing in r/GhostRecon

[charred gust]

ubisoft can save AC they just like literally need to do it in mirage, have an upgraded unity movement system but remove the junk and make it smooth like valhalla's was (yes, i know people like to hate on that game but it was less frequently putting you in those "stuck" spots that give you anxiety where the character just doesnt wanna move and keep it going) keep some of the RPG stuff from valhalla (more animations and moves you can unlock, none of that +4% health garbage just have the same system they had in unity for health, keep it simple), and just remove the notion of levels for your character completely, have assassin ranks if you want, make a visual indicator of stats (strength, speed....) just don't pull any of that "This sword is a number 9 while this one is a number 2, oh and did i mention this one is more rare ?"

[shrewd sparrow]

I reckon I have the wrong outlook on cod. It's always just been dumb fun with mind numbing action.

It's like videogame soda, or junk food. You go hard on it every once in a while and you have fun but kinda feel like shit afterwards, whatever.

Maybe I've just outgrown cod and need to accept it, maybe there's nothing they can do to bring me back, maybe I'm just not their target audience anymore

It feels like they are trying very hard to capitalize on that mommy credit card Fortnite gamer

I mean, fuck. Really gonna charge $70 for your game, then $10 for a battlepass, then extra microtransactions for the silly skins and stuff. Placing a free live service model on your paid game is so fucked up, where's the backlash that avengers got at?????

Why is Activision still functional? Man I need to to stop I'm having a crisis

I feel like an insane person when I hear people talk about how good the new cod games are

[charred gust]

everyone wants to convolute the app stores these days

[charred gust]

they're literally play until you get bored of franchises

it's even happened to me with tekken, the most beloved franchise in my heart, grew up with that mofo

but like i just don't care anymore

[shrewd sparrow]

Which is why they should be FREE

they have literally become games as a service. I'm calling it rn, the next cod game we get 2 years from now or whatever, will be F2P

Overwatch got with it

[charred gust]

i'll play the new one eventually but i would even go as far as to say it's mid to me personally, i don't have that competitive side to it anymore as well as i just don't care enough to go and grind until i get to max rank, or get a great team in FIFA, it's just like pointless once you do it enough times, you realize that you were only playing it for that satisfaction it once gave you without you realizing it because it was a new experience to you and it gave you pleasure in playing it, but once you're past that point it just becomes something outdated and you want something new to play

[shrewd sparrow]

It's just so scummy to see them selling a 70 dollar game and then selling you a battlepass and skins and shit on top of that

And when I read that with the Vault edition they give you the battlepass for free and a free 55 tiers I literally laughed my ass off

What fun is a battlepass if it's half completed for you??? You're gonna finish your battlepass twice as quick as everyone else and then have no reason to play the game for the rest of the season, who tf wants that

Actual scam

Maybe an actual good incentive would be like an extra 25 tiers exclusive to vault edition owners

Then you get more incentive to buy, more incentive to play, bonus rewards, and activision gets their payday

[fleet gulch]

the pass is for the upcoming warzone 2 when launches, it's gonna be f2p

you preorder a battle bass

[shrewd sparrow]

That's even worse 😂

[fleet gulch]

You get bonus stuff for the paid game, but the stuff in vault edition is mostly for the f2p warzone 2

[shrewd sparrow]

Because you still use those skins and stuff in mp so basically you can pay $99 for a battlepass that you can't use yet

Even more of a scam

Pre ordering a battlepass bro wtf

[fleet gulch]

you don't even know if the battlepass is good

I really hope the battlepass is like the fortnite one, but that'd be a far fetch

[shrewd sparrow]

If my (hypothetical) kid ever took my card to pre order a battlepass in a game that isn't even fully out yet they would get the belt

That's all I'm saying

[granite nacelle]

💀

[fleet gulch]

if my (hypothetical) kid ever touches my card without my permission, he getting a nuclear ass whoopin

https://tenor.com/view/belt-whooping-spanking-mad-angry-gif-16735536

[shrewd sparrow]

Fr

How do these kids not get fucking destroyed

My parents would have never put up with that shit

I didn't really get hit by they had ways of making sure I knew what was off limits

[normal crown]

I’m guessing this is mw2

[shrewd sparrow]

yea

I don't understand why you would pay extra for them to complete half your battlepass

It's the same rewards except you lose the actual progression

It's not like it's a bonus for vault owners because everyone else is gonna get the same rewards you got

But they took the W because they spent 20 dollars less than you

For the same shit

[normal crown]

@paper thicket da anomaly

[fleet gulch]

it's for people who got money and not much time

[shrewd sparrow]

I rarely ever buy tiers in Fortnite, but this season I bought almost the entire battlepass just to see what that was like.

Not even Einstein could have guessed the outcome - I haven't touched the game since the start of the season

[fleet gulch]

the best time to buy a battle pass is when you are halfway done with it, then you know for sure you got stuff done

[shrewd sparrow]

In Fortnite I always buy them right at the start of the season because battlepasses are actually fun on their

The progression feels fair, the rewards are actually worth it, and it gives me a reason to play

[fleet gulch]

I don't think I ever bought a battlepass in my life before

Fortnite, unironically has the best battlepass

you can play the free tier and get coins without paying a dime, letting you get a future one for free

[shrewd sparrow]

I don't understand the time argument. No matter how busy your life is you can finish a battlepass

Even if you just play 5 hours a week you can finish a battlepass

Atleast on Fortnite

[fleet gulch]

Yeah, cause Fortnite has a fair battlepass

[shrewd sparrow]

I assume cod and apex and shit are the same cause they just copy Fortnite anyway

I mean for honor and rainbow six siege have terrible battlepass. You have to really dedicate to that grind, so I understand it there

[charred gust]

i remember when they got pissed off and started banning streamers who used those unlock tools that give them everything in the game

[somber marlin]

Date is now confirmed

[charred gust]

like the fact that they put stuff you can't earn unless you buy it in a p2p game is insane

[shrewd sparrow]

That's what I'm saying

Warzone being free doesn't justify it

Cool one component of your game is free why does that give you the right to go wild with greedy monetization

How about make the whole game free because your game isn't even worth the price you're asking for anyway and then get crazy with the microtransactions

No one will give a shit then

Hell I wouldn't care if they sold campaign separately for like $30 or something

It's the only piece of their game worth any value

The rest is just rehashed trash they've been copy and pasting for over a fucking decade

If I blurred my eyes and you showed me a few seconds of gameplay from every COD game since black ops 3 id have trouble telling you which one is which

And that's coming from someone who was still an avid cod fan in that era

I have 300 hours on MWR but it's literally just the same shit

What's the difference if I play mw2019 or cold war or the new one they all feel like the same game

Even vanguard, mechanically is the same

4 games already on this "new" and "innovative" engine, are you lot not sick if yet

[charred gust]

the uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

@fleet gulch remember that bloodborne meme

[fleet gulch]

https://tenor.com/view/do-you-have-any-idea-how-little-that-narrows-it-down-that-narrows-it-down-clear-now-its-clear-now-i-understand-now-gif-21256627

[charred gust]

in this scenario it'd be if you've been playing cod for more than 3 years and still haven't quit you missed the entire point of gaming

it's the same with people who still play fifa, or league of legends, like bro what are you doing with your life

[shrewd sparrow]

How many cod fans does it take to change a lightbulb

3

1 to hold the ladder
1 to climb the ladder
And 1 to complain that the ladder hasn't changed in 15 years

[charred gust]

it's your time but still,

[fleet gulch]

ayo, dafuq you mean about league of legends

I feel called out

[charred gust]

i know you on that

https://tenor.com/view/ejemplo-tony-montana-scarface-al-pacino-gif-17798122

but i gotta call u out with the rest of the crackhead games

it's funny because if ghost recon phantoms was still alive i'd still be playing it too

i'm lucky that's the crack game i was on

[shrewd sparrow]

I'm admitting it was a mistake. I wish I would have realized that iw/MWR was the last cod I would actually enjoy at the time I was playing it

Had I known, I'd have not bought WW2, BO4, MW2019, and Cold War

Luckily after playing vanguards beta I knew it wasn't for me, plus it was a historical shooter

Classic ww2 with tac sprinting and g sliding

What a classic war that was 😐

[charred gust]

it speaks volumes that ground war is the only thing the non herd fanbase of cod still cares about and that's a literal ripoff from battlefield on a smaller scale

[shrewd sparrow]

Ground war did go hard

[charred gust]

its like bro battlefield get your shit together

[shrewd sparrow]

And special operations

Was fun in mw2019

[charred gust]

i promise you its not that hard to overtake them, they're gonna drive themselves to the ground in 2 years

[fleet gulch]

MW2 is my first ever multiplayer cod

[charred gust]

like legit i'm calling it rn and if i'm alive by then i'll come back to this message

but by 2025 people are gonna be sick of the current cod formula

it's literally one of those cycles i've seen happen so many times it's become a standard

[shrewd sparrow]

If dice could restore their BF3, 4, and 1 glory they could kill cod with one release

[fleet gulch]

knowing the players, It's only gonna increase

[shrewd sparrow]

Bf2042 was supposed to do it

But they cant

They are incapable of making a good battlefield

[charred gust]

it's already kinda happening with the recent interest people have in games like insurgency and tarkov, you just grow out of cod eventually

[shrewd sparrow]

I love cod players in insurgency, they are so ass

The way the voice chat works in that game you just know you're fighting a cod player

[charred gust]

they need to create gameplay that feels better than the current cod formula, as sad as it is it's the most satisfying fps gameplay there is in terms of animations and smoothness

cod however always makes the same mistake of getting stale eventually, which is where BF comes in

[shrewd sparrow]

You hear them hotmic and say "he's camping in here" like bro this isn't cod anymore this is a tactical shooter of course I'm camping

If you had half a brain you'd set up a proper breach with a breacher and a smoke grenade but you guys just keep rushing in here to try to get the kill first

Cod players are adorable

Nothing is more important than kill credit

[charred gust]

you introduce maps like metro and shanghai, it's a breath of fresh air and it just feels better

[fleet gulch]

people in cod are so tryhard, I heard a guy break his controller and scream like a bitch

Wish I recorded that

[charred gust]

cod players when they can't tac sprint out a window and jumpshot with a sniper rifle :

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

[fleet gulch]

[shrewd sparrow]

I hate that siege is slowly getting closer to cod but there were days in siege where cod players would always get rocked

All the sudden they have to sit still and hold an angle or learn to control the recoil on the gun

Nowadays siege quickplay is just an outdated form of cod

Everyone just kinda runs around and rushes eachother

Cod players playing a tactical shooter and all the sudden they can't just spray an SMG un-adsed

[vital vector]

@leaden orchid I'm installing the best Halo. 💪

https://tenor.com/view/clueless-aware-twitch-forsen-emote-gif-25354609

[charred gust]

i fucking played it way too late to the party and could only play casual for my playtime

[shrewd sparrow]

Then don't lie

[charred gust]

i felt like i was the only one using my brain in those lobbies

it literally felt like i wasn't the one who was a noob there, when i stopped using my brain i was getting kills

[leaden orchid]

I played siege in 2016 to 2018 and loved it, stopped playing after they made the game more arcade-like

[shrewd sparrow]

There's a learning curve but it's never too late. If you ever play again try ranked or unranked

[shrewd sparrow]

Fr in quickplay if you try to play tactical just forget about it. You'll have a better time just running and gunning like cod

[leaden orchid]

I remember playing Castle one time and I killed someone and they called me the n word

They said "idc if I get banned"

[shrewd sparrow]

You can still get the tactical gameplay in ranked/unranked

[leaden orchid]

And then immediately got banned

[charred gust]

i played a couple of matches till i got enough of those credits to afford valkyrie, i got her because she had that cool gun

[shrewd sparrow]

Mpx

Or spas

[charred gust]

but then everything from there was bad, i kept finding myself in situations where i'm the last one alive

and it's like where the fuck is my team

that one stream moment of that csgo streamer dazed i think his name was, he literally went "Where the fuck is my team, i'm going to bed"

literally me

[shrewd sparrow]

Siege can be super fun if you play unranked/ranked with a 3 - 5 stack

The game is amazing when you have good communication and team play

[leaden orchid]

Yeah

[shrewd sparrow]

It's some of the most euphoric gaming you can get

[charred gust]

it was literally not fun for me because like

[shrewd sparrow]

When you win with strategy

[charred gust]

i literally don't know what the maps are like or even the mechanics

why am i the only one still alive

like i could get a kill on someone from behind but that's it, mofos would be shoulder peaking corners where they know i'm coming from and i dont even know where they'd be peaking from

oh and the teammate salt too

[vernal crater]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/807809192537882647/1003573292290019328/SPOILER_unknown.gif

[shrewd sparrow]

That's imo the biggest learning curve in siege.

Basically since it's almost all strategy and game sense things like aim are less important because it's more about placement and utilities

A huge thing to overcome as a noob is just learning the maps and understanding placements. But that's easier said than done

[charred gust]

like i spent so much time trash talking the teammates back in that game, imagine saying "noob" to someone in casual who you can clearly see they're a level 7

like its so dumb, if you're so good go actually carry us and win a round lmfao

[shrewd sparrow]

You basically have to learn the map layout and the bomb layouts, then learn flanks for roaming and roam clearing

But you still have to be careful every map because all the variables in operator choice and utility

Ops like Kapkan consistently stomp noobs

It feels completely unfair when you're new, like how were you ever supposed to see the booby trap, or the frost mat, etc.

But eventually you get the game sense where checking for that stuff is instinct

You literally don't even consciously do it

[charred gust]

siege is one of those games where if you didn't start playing it from launch you'd have to actually spend time learning how to play it, theres games u dont just play, atleast if u wanna be semi competitive online, and i just dont have that time anymore

which actually creates another problem, the wannabe pro players

like the type who watches those "How to play X" on youtube then start acting like they're the next esports champions lmfao

[shrewd sparrow]

You think it was easy for people at launch? No, quite the opposite.

When the game was new people had no idea what they were doing or how to play it

Getting into it now must be heaven. I mean there's thousands of tutorials I bet there's hundreds for each operator even the newer ones

I played at launch and through the years but never made an effort to be good until like 2020

That's pretty late

[charred gust]

the difference is in how easy it is to get into as a new player and actually be decent, whenever i buy a new cod i hop straight into gun game and after like 2 or 3 games i'm able to win or atleast get top 3 regardless of who i'm playing against

[shrewd sparrow]

Cause cod is easy lol

That's precisely what I don't want siege to be

[charred gust]

games like cod you don't need much to get into and actually compete with the vets

[shrewd sparrow]

The skill curve is fun for me

Same thing with for honor

That game has a deep learning curve

Very little fighting game knowledge will transfer over

It's totally unique

You just have to take consistent ass kicking before you finally learn how to play

Then it becomes the most satisfying thing in the world

Cod cant be satisfying to me because I've hit peak gameplay after about 10 minutes

[charred gust]

yeah thats exactly my point when i said some games you don't just play, and that you have to put in time as a newbie as opposed to if you were playing them from launch, even if you're a fundamentally more garbage player than someone else if you were just playing the game for a longer period of time in games like siege you'd be better

[shrewd sparrow]

I didn't fully understand for honor till I had played 100 hours, I wasn't actually good at it till about 200 hours. The rest has just been mastering different characters

[charred gust]

this, i just don't care for that anymore

[leaden orchid]

That's completely understandable

And one of the reasons why I probably will never return to Siege

[shrewd sparrow]

Both siege and for honor are very special to me because they are games that completely wreck you at first but once you learn and "get good" they become an experience that literally nothing else can satisfy

[vital vector]

[leaden orchid]

[shrewd sparrow]

I haven't played siege in months but I'm certain, eventually I'll get that itch. And there's nothing else in the world to scratch it

[vital vector]

HOLY MOLY!

[vital vector]

Kiryu's nickame would be Kazzy if he was an ODST!!

[shrewd sparrow]

Probably not your game then, that's fine

I'd recommend insurgency

It's a happy medium

It's more tactical than cod but less focused on strategy than siege

Map knowledge and game sense isn't that important when 2 bullets can take someone down

Sieges ttk is a bit ridiculous

[charred gust]

i played insurgency

night ops was cool

[shrewd sparrow]

I like the co op modes more than multiplayer

[charred gust]

eventually that itch will start fading away till you never get it and you only care for that franchise when a new one comes out, or they make an expansion

[shrewd sparrow]

But multiplayer has the hilarious voice chat system

[charred gust]

and then you realize it's all been useless once you get no more satisfaction out of it

and you start looking for other stuff to play

[shrewd sparrow]

I already have plenty more stuff to play. I always play siege for about a month then forget about for 3 - 6 months

For honor always brings me back atleast every other season because that's when a new hero releases

New operators in siege just haven't been that good recently so I haven't cared

[charred gust]

i'm actually glad i wasted my time with plenty of those types of games, saved me from wasting other actually good games, it's why i always try to get the garbage out of the way

like there's games i already know are gonna be mid so i play them just to get them off my checklist then move on

its very helpful with the play until you're bored of type games too, like dragon ball fighterz was loved by everyone who hasnt played a mvc game in their life, mofos were calling it the best dbz game and it's like bro you're either 14 years old or it was your first fighting game of course you'll say that, have fun for now

[shrewd sparrow]

I just like a lot of games that have good progression, and that have a learning curve that makes it feel satisfying to master.

It's crazy that I didn't play fromsoft games sooner than I did, they are right up my alley

Not to conflate dark souls with siege, they are totally different

But I get similar experiences out of them

Similar feelings anyway

[charred gust]

it's a good thing tho

like if you figure out about something later on in your life and you like it

cuz like everyone else who's already had it just finds it normal

[shrewd sparrow]

Nothing is ever gonna replace for honor besides a for honor 2

[charred gust]

it's like me with the yakuza games, always knew about them, didnt play them until the 'rona period

literally shocked i never played one of them before, i still have 6, 7 and the judgement games to play

[shrewd sparrow]

There's nothing like for honor. When I get the it h to play for honor that itch will stay until I do

[shrewd sparrow]

I tried to get into them but my timing was bad, had other stuff going on

Next time I need something to play I'll try to finish Yakuza 0

[charred gust]

this is the game experience killer

its why i dont start games

that "man this game is really cool i'd love to be able to playthrough it, give it the time it deserves figure out all it has to offer and finish it, but damn no time rn"

[shrewd sparrow]

Fr. I really want to finish Yakuza, god of war, and plenty others

[charred gust]

then when u finally can play games again that first impression is ruined and you just uninstall it cuz if you try to get into it again you'd have to do a new game

[shrewd sparrow]

I mean the games I started but didn't finish this year alone is insane

[charred gust]

i abandoned control like 4 times but finally decided it's time to play it last year, literally forced myself to play nothing else but it till i'm done with it

[shrewd sparrow]

I used to always do new game when I was trying to get back into a game until I realized I had played the intro of assassin's Creed syndicate 5 times (still never actually beat it btw)

So now I just pick up where I left off, unless I've totally forgotten everything

[charred gust]

that always happens to me with those types of games where you don't even remember the plot, whats worse is when the game has skill upgrades and you gotta go remember how to pull them off or what they are

i used to have this idea that you could just go play a new story mission and it'll all just come back to you eventually, but that's just 🧢

especially if the plot is a shitshow

[shrewd sparrow]

Like how can I have the willpower to play through 4 Arkham games nonstop, or play the entirety of red dead redemption 2 for the 5th time but I can't beat god of war

Rhetorical question, it's because of timing

God of War is unlucky because everytime I play it I'm in the middle of very important life stuff

And that's just a damn shame cause it's an awesome game

Would love to finish it

[charred gust]

i had a friend who uses the term "ruining games" whenever i do that, he keeps telling me i ruined the witcher trilogy

[charred gust]

the other thing as well is like when you finally have time

its almost something you wanna play more

so those games get pushed into the list even more

like when those games you deadass would die if you didnt play come out you play them no matter what

[shrewd sparrow]

Fr. Or like you know you wanna play it, you KNOW you'll have a good time. But for some fucking reason you just can't open up the game

Like you have no motivation to start it

[charred gust]

thats me with fallout 76

i literally downloaded it and uninstalled it right afterwards

didnt even start it up or anything, was hovering over it thinking about playing it and just went nah i'll get something else

[shrewd sparrow]

I remember having games downloaded and I'd just hover over them on my menu for like a minute double guessing if I'd actually want to play it

Sometimes I even have to just make myself select the the game and then stand up and pace around my room to clear my head

I always thing about how I could be spending my time grinding out a different game

Because in general I tend to prefer online games with friends

[paper thicket]

Mission update
Emission: Stay sheltered

[shrewd sparrow]

So it's hard just to shut down and enjoy a good story or something

[shrewd sparrow]

I do this all the time too. Or play it once and end up deleting it anyway

F76 really isn't worth your time anyway unless you're ready to devote to it. Like 100 hours atleast

[charred gust]

alot of the times i'll literally start up a game, play it for 5 mins then find myself asleep

or like i'll play one level then i'm tired as hell and gotta sleep

sometimes i'll pause it then find myself doing something else, i never thought i'd procrastinate games

like valhalla was literally my sleep simulator

i'd just run around in the mountains after i get home and i'd already be tired as shit but it would get me to sleep cuz of how beautiful the graphics were

[shrewd sparrow]

Valhalla 😐

[charred gust]

the visuals in the mountains as well as the audio quality was just pure perfection

[shrewd sparrow]

That's another. I can spend 3 hours slowly walking around breakpoint pseudo roleplaying but then can't make myself finish GoW

Like wtf

[fleet gulch]

I'm curious, which game did you avoid a lot, and when you finally played it, it turned out to be amazing?

[charred gust]

ever since origins i enjoy hearing the MC making those sounds when they're climbing around, it has nothing gay to it like a friend of mine always says, their audio is just really good, it's basically climbing ASMR

but like they're so relaxing, they put me to sleep

[shrewd sparrow]

Any fromsoftware game

[shrewd sparrow]

For honor because I'm a masochist

[shrewd sparrow]

Both division games

[shrewd sparrow]

The Arkham series (didn't necessarily avoid just never played them as a kid or anything)

[shrewd sparrow]

Destiny 2 (I'm a veteran but talked a lot of shit after launch only to learn how good the game has gotten)

[shrewd sparrow]

Assassin's Creed Black Flag

[charred gust]

resident evil 6

[shrewd sparrow]

Sorry I was going hard

There's a few more

[charred gust]

not necessarily avoided but still

[shrewd sparrow]

But that's all I can think of rn

[fleet gulch]

[charred gust]

literally any of the games i saw people call trash and mid

but i actually loved

theres plenty of them

the only thing mid is the general opinion of the gaming community

[fleet gulch]

I call league trash a lot 👀

[shrewd sparrow]

I hope one day to say COD in response to that question

[charred gust]

OH

The Order 1886

by far

[shrewd sparrow]

I want cod to prove me wrong and make me look like a complete idiot

So bad

[charred gust]

its sad because that game is pretty short, i finished it in one evening

[fleet gulch]

for me, it was Factorio. Honestly wish I never played it, game is so fucking addictive

[shrewd sparrow]

Never played it, heard it was mid

[fleet gulch]

I played the game 55 hours in 1 sitting

[charred gust]

thats what im saying

[shrewd sparrow]

Wait what

[charred gust]

i heard it was mid too, i was still a fan of angryjoe back then

[fleet gulch]

yeah...I didn't eat at all during those 55 hours

[charred gust]

like he was the one who put that idea in my head, then i finally decided to give it a shot like 3 years ago

[shrewd sparrow]

Bro 🙊

Holy shit

[fleet gulch]

[charred gust]

i felt betrayed when i played like an hour into it

literally felt like my entire life was a lie

thats how i felt everytime i loved a game people called trash, you literally feel like they made you miss out on it

[fleet gulch]

the best reviewer for a game is you yourself

[shrewd sparrow]

Reminds me of the articles of the Fortnite kids who would piss themselves because they were so addicted to the game

[charred gust]

🧢 store is closed

[fleet gulch]

That's why I worked as a reviewer a while back

[shrewd sparrow]

Basically yeah. Especially with games. There's something you can get out of a game that everyone else thinks sucks

I mean I remember the whole ass cycle of days gone. From coming out and disappointing fans, to being called an underrated gem a year later. Tried to force myself to play it and almost got put into a cringe coma

But hey whatever, I'm glad people like it

[fleet gulch]

I really don't enjoy days gone

Has a good concept but it delivers it so badly

[shrewd sparrow]

It's basically if last of us was stripped of it's identity and had the narrative of your average zombie action movie

Main Character is cool edgy white guy who kills zombies and rides a motorcycle

[fleet gulch]

pretty much

Man, I wish I could write the story of a AAA game, it's my dream

[shrewd sparrow]

Me too

Or atleast contribute

[charred gust]

i respect your opinion and won't call you names for it

[charred gust]

same with you

[fleet gulch]

Just wait till I get myself a new gpu and develop a game I've been working on for over 4 years now 👀 Got an amazing story for it

[shrewd sparrow]

You can make your defense for it if you want. You can call me names if you want I don't really care

[charred gust]

dibs on the codes

[fleet gulch]

[shrewd sparrow]

Truthfully I wanted to like days gone

I love motorcycles

[charred gust]

i mean i would but that depends on whether you'd actually revisit it or not

[shrewd sparrow]

And killing zombies is always cool

[fleet gulch]

I'd love seeing the hordes of Days Gone and World War Z in a proper zombie game

https://tenor.com/view/xbox-mil-grau-fazenda-chernobyl-days-gone-gif-14911668

[charred gust]

cuz like its pointless to just argue for opinions, if you actually want an incentive to give it another shot i'd gladly give you one

[fleet gulch]

search days gone in the gif findeer

[shrewd sparrow]

Probably won't. There's no reason to play it over the last of us which imo has better gameplay and story.

Days gone has a single saving grace in it's open world but it's too empty to justify its own existence

Cool there's like 20 fucking hives

Can I do something different???

😐

[fleet gulch]

I can atleast say that they're top tier memers

[charred gust]

yeah it doesn't seem like you want to give it another shot, so me telling you why i think it's better than both of tlou games combined would be pointless

[shrewd sparrow]

Ride me as much as you ride your bike

[charred gust]

we need a sequel

legit would prefer a days gone 2 over a spiderman 2

and that's ong

no 🧢

[fleet gulch]

I want Bloodborne 60fps patch over any sequel

[shrewd sparrow]

Well yeah cause I don't want to play it without a reason too

[charred gust]

lmao you ain't getting shit

[fleet gulch]

stub your toe

[shrewd sparrow]

I mean I already know it's cringe if they really wrote "ride me as much as you ride your bike"

Like who was in charge of that shit

[charred gust]

[shrewd sparrow]

That's so out of pocket at a fucking wedding

[charred gust]

i mean it goes along with the character of the couple they are, that's just them being normal but ok

[normal crown]

wasn't days gone supposed to get a sequel

[shrewd sparrow]

What PlayStation game is this zoomed in picture from? -class A troll

[charred gust]

its why sarah is such a keeper btw

[fleet gulch]

I HOPE THE FUCKER GOT FIRED

[charred gust]

they apparently canceled it

[normal crown]

💀

[fleet gulch]

got cancelled

[normal crown]

it deserves a sequel

[shrewd sparrow]

Rip

[charred gust]

also i remember one of the heads at sony literally told people if you want a sequel buy the fucking game at launch

lmfao

straight up

[shrewd sparrow]

I don't like days gone but it has potential

[fleet gulch]

nope, it was a guy at bend studio

[shrewd sparrow]

They should have made a sequel

[charred gust]

it's true tho you got these hypocrite wagon riders who were shitting on it at launch

then pretending they also want a sequel and care about it

[fleet gulch]

He was mad cause sony denied their sequel

[charred gust]

when the public opinion shifted on it

[fleet gulch]

and started a shitstorm on twitter

[charred gust]

he has every right to

best game of 2019 imo and that's no 🧢

[shrewd sparrow]

It would always just live in the shadow of tlou anyway

[charred gust]

and thats me putting away the RE2 remake which is literally my

[shrewd sparrow]

Just make an open world last of us and it'll be better than a days gone sequel could have ever been

[charred gust]

thats the problem with people's opinion

always having that r3tarded take on it

[fleet gulch]

BRUH
Sekiro
Control
Outer Worlds
RE2

[shrewd sparrow]

Actually anthem was

[charred gust]

i'm aware

[fleet gulch]

days gone didn't even get nominated I think

[charred gust]

not a surprise

i mean people didn't even realize how good it was till it came to PC

its the same thing with cyberpunk

[shrewd sparrow]

Well it's not unfair to compare days gone too TLOU when that's literally what they were trying to emulate

They made the same combat system, just worse

[fleet gulch]

I played both games on release, and both of them sucked day 1

[charred gust]

if a game needs a PC release to be appreciated and another an anime then fuck the community and how dumb they are

[shrewd sparrow]

They took something good from another game, and made it bad in their own game

[charred gust]

they weren't lmfao, you're doing the same thing you once were arguing with me about

(gotham and arkham)

[fleet gulch]

They just needed to update and fix the game for 2 years and release an incentive for people to try the game again

I finished cp77 on the ps5 recently, and I think it's a pretty mid game

[charred gust]

days gone's gameplay is still to this day leagues ahead of TLOU's and i played all 3 games at launch, like its one of those things that piss me off when people compare them, "Days gone is just an open world TLOU", like no it's not

[shrewd sparrow]

Yes and you remember how my argument was always that you should never compare to games that are completely different from eachother but can compare games or things within games that are the same

[charred gust]

TLOU's gameplay for me never felt like "oh man this is so smooth and great i want to play this game more", it was more of a yeah cool, now let's move on

[shrewd sparrow]

I said don't compare Gotham knights combat to Arkham, because they are totally different systems with nothing in common.

But you can compare Gotham knights to assassin's Creed

[charred gust]

the only things that are similar between TLOU and Days Gone are the inventory / crafting system, which yes they did take heavy inspiration from in the sense that they let you just hold the weapon wheel and then craft medkits molotovs whatever you need right from there, but would you rather they have a garbage convoluted menu for it like state of decay ?

[shrewd sparrow]

TLOU has better weapons, better animations, more variety, and its just less janky

[charred gust]

i genuinely never had a problem with you taking inspiration from a certain system that already works and doesn't make any compromise

[shrewd sparrow]

No the gameplay is too similar not to compare. You have the weapon wheel with you're different weapons and then there's different melee weapons you can pick up

[charred gust]

i couldn't disagree more, dg literally has the best gameplay of any 3rd person shooter i've played (including RDR2 and TLOU2), we can literally pull up animations and put them side by side if you want, it's just not competitive at all because they're in different leagues

[charred gust]

okay and ?

[shrewd sparrow]

Me neither but when you rip off a combat system and make it worse, you have to face the criticism

[charred gust]

how is it making it worse ?

because you didn't like it ?

like bro you need to rewatch gameplay, saying TLOU2's gameplay was better is like saying the original MW2 had better animations than the remake

[shrewd sparrow]

Bruh

When you melee someone in days gone deacon just takes a big swing and that's the whole animation

[shrewd sparrow]

I would love for you to give me a side by side comparison

Seeing Ellie slowly slicing through someone's neck and actually getting to watch their facial expressions as they fucking die compared to the one canned animation you get when you melee a zombie in days gone

@charred gust lmao look at this

https://youtu.be/qJSzsEahP78

You're joking right?

It's night and day

[charred gust]

you're talking about execution animations ? you do realize those are also in DG right ? and you're making a comparison for a game that's 20% zombies with one that's 90% in this specific point

[charred gust]

it is night and day, i just don't see how you genuinely think tlou2 is better in that regard

like you're comparing an open world game to a linear one and saying that the naturally different animations you'd experience when playing the linear game are more different, yeah play more than 2 hours of DG and you'll figure out new stuff too lmao

[shrewd sparrow]

Just go to 2:50 in that video I sent

I don't have to say anything else because the gameplay speaks for itself

[charred gust]

like bro i can guarantee you didn't progress more than 3 hours in the game, which is fine obviously but just to use that to base an opinion like that is insane

[shrewd sparrow]

You can see that days gone is taking heavy inspiration and failing to meet the standard set by the last of us

[charred gust]

failing to meet the standard of a game that came after it right ?

failing to meet the standard by making it so that the combat isn't braindead instant executions every time right ?

[shrewd sparrow]

By a year, and they were already copying tlou1 which is still leagues better despite being from 2013

[shrewd sparrow]

Ah yes cause spamming one button to slash with my machete is so much better

[charred gust]

they copied the weapon / inventory selection wheel and that's literally it, which once again isn't a point you use to prove that the game is inferior, is MW19 a shittier game than BF 2042 because it copied ground war from a previous title ?

[shrewd sparrow]

😐

You can't tell me 10 hours isn't enough

You don't have to finish a game to have an opinion on it

I played plenty

[charred gust]

did you even play the game bro ? for starters depending on which melee weapon you're using if you're spamming one button to slash your stamina is gonna be depleted in like 3 seconds (even in endgame), secondly if you're playing survival good luck getting a hit on the zombies (they don't just sit there and let you hit, and they literally get a free counter hit on you if you miss, which you will if you're spamming ), the other point is the fact that the enemies actually have health of their own, it's not just hey stagger this enemy and you'll get a free kill, it literally becomes a game of choosing what to do because one wrong move and you're dead, like there's literally no comparing it here one's a braindead stagger them and go for the kill and the other is an actual ds style 1v1

[charred gust]

you don't but you literally have no clue what the game is like, atleast from what you just said

[shrewd sparrow]

Again, did you watch the comparison vid I sent? The way Ellie takes down that dude then throws a brick at the other guy to take down him and then has to take cover behind the car to get a shot on the dudes legs to rush him down for the melee kill which all of this stuff was also in tlou1 aswell there's just not as many comparisons for that game.

Then meanwhile in days gone it's hit once, hit twice then a janky looking finishing move

[shrewd sparrow]

You can't tell me I don't know what the game is like, I literally played it

It's like playing last of us in alpha stage

I wish @normal crown was here to gush over last of us because he probably knows a lot more about it than me

Like in the pictures I sent I've literally played more days gone than last of us

But since it is just way better you immediately realize "damn this is good"

I was giving days gone it's time to wow me, to live up to being the "underrated gem" people call it now

[blazing wraith]

@normal crown talk about how much u love TLOU

I miss u already fr

"Again, did you watch the comparison vid I sent?

Again, i did watch it and as i've already said you're somehow trying to say stagger and then takedown gameplay is better than an actual chess piece (which is ironic considering you like dark souls but don't even realize the gameplay in days gone is similar once you're not playing the handholding parts), "Then meanwhile in days gone it's hit once, hit twice then a janky looking finishing move", you're literally complaining about the same gameplay you praise for starters, and then to make it worse you're missing the point that i've already made in my previous reply in that the zombies aren't just gonna sit there and let you hit them, as well as they literally get a frame advantage and a free counter hit when you miss, the gameplay is very similar to the fs games when you consider range, stamina as well as the consequences of missing, miss and you get hit, it's not just hey stagger this guy run to him and press to execute him, later on in the game and depending on which melee weapon you have, if in TLOU2 shooting someone in their foot is enough to stagger them and get a takedown enemies in DG can literally take the shot, move out of the way when you try to run into them and swing at them then strike you back and kill you, how can you still say this system tried to imitate TLOU and failed ? it's literally its successor that doesn't restrict it to being room temperature IQ

[somber valve]

ok, no

[charred gust]

[shrewd sparrow]

Compared days gone to dark souls 😐

Yeah that's enough discord for a day

[charred gust]

that's the only thing i would agree with you on in that DG is one of those games that take way too long to kick off, you can get by the first couple of hours of the game pretty easily in the sense that you won't worry too much about resources, fuel is practically everywhere, the roaming zombies only take away like 1/3 of your health they don't move out the way as much so maybe it seems like that's all the game has to offer then

[charred gust]

do you not calculate range, of both your attacks and the enemies', as well as choose when to dodge and when to not ?

do you not manage your stamina ? in ds

[shrewd sparrow]

😐

[granite nacelle]

how often do arguments take place in fucking othergames this shit is daily

[charred gust]

if your answer is no then we're done here lmfao

[charred gust]

we need that they're arguing again gif fr

[somber valve]

https://tenor.com/view/discord-discord-drama-drama-argument-political-gif-24419538

[granite nacelle]

true

[shrewd sparrow]

If after 10 hours the game hasn't gotten good it's not worth anymore time investment

That's just bad pacing

[charred gust]

i tried to find a scene but i couldnt, i think i saw one in boruto tho

[shrewd sparrow]

Even if it did get good from there

Still just poor game design

[charred gust]

i mean whether the game has bad pacing or not isn't what we were discussing so that's literally the main thing people hate on the game for, it taking way too long to take off which is completely fine and a reasonable turn off since not everyone has time, i just think it's unfair to call the game garbage and belittle it based off that

[shrewd sparrow]

I never called it garbage. Bad pacing is an objective flaws, boring gameplay is a subjective criticism

[charred gust]

like to give you an example after i watched breaking bad and was talking about it to some of my friends many of them would tell me they found season 1 to be slow and boring so they didn't keep watching it

[stable crown]

Wait, are y'all comparing TLoU to Days Gone??

Bruh...

[charred gust]

i think that's an L take and if i used it as well i wouldn't have gotten to the good parts

[shrewd sparrow]

You're trying to invalidate me for not playing enough when I gave it MORE than enough time to make it's impact on me

10 hours on any game is enough to know if you like it or not

I don't like it

[charred gust]

bad pacing is literally not an objective flaw because there's no such thing as "bad pacing" lmao, it's literally subjective on its own because how well paced a story is depends completely on who's consuming it and whether they think it's taking too long to get to the point

[shrewd sparrow]

It's story is a cheap action hero story and it's gameplay feels like an emulation and downgrade to a. Game that came out 6 years before it

[charred gust]

i'll use breaking bad again, i didn't think season 1 was slow personally

[shrewd sparrow]

I'm not saying that bad pacing makes a story or game bad

But its a flaw

[charred gust]

i'm literally not, my entire point was that you should just say you don't like it, not start belittling it compared to TLOU2

and saying its an open world ripoff that's worse

[stable crown]

he never said that

He said it's not a flaw

[shrewd sparrow]

TLOU2 has good gameplay

The story is whatever

I really don't like tlou2s story, yet atleast every line of dialogue doesn't make me cringe like in days gone

[charred gust]

yeah this is what i'm talking about, it would be the equivalent of me rating a show garbage because i only watched the first season of it and it reminded me of a show i watched previously that i actually personally enjoyed

[shrewd sparrow]

Shows aren't games though

[fleet gulch]

[charred gust]

how can something that doesnt exist be a flaw ?

[shrewd sparrow]

10 hours is more than enough time to know you like a game

[charred gust]

like i said dude what you'll find bad pacing i'll find reasonable and if it was any faster it'd be rushed

[shrewd sparrow]

That's that

[granite nacelle]

true

[shrewd sparrow]

I don't like it

And Im certain I don't like it

Because I played plenty of it

To know

That I don't like it

😐

[stable crown]

Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but you're saying stuff like it's a fact

[charred gust]

its the same concept in regards to what you're doing, judging something way too early (in relation to it's actual length), i get that you're saying 10 hours is enough to judge a show, but would 1 season be enough for a 15 season show ? (supernatural for example) ? i personally looking back on it wouldn't think so

[stable crown]

Like that it's a rip off of TLoU or that Deacon is a cheap action hero

Or that the game has bad pacing

[charred gust]

^

[stable crown]

Make up your mind, are you presenting facts, or opinions

[shrewd sparrow]

Because those are my opinions

That I formed

By playing the game

[stable crown]

Yet you present them as facts

You literally said that bad pacing is objectively a flaw

Objectively

[harsh tree]

What game we talking about?

[stable crown]

Days Gone

[shrewd sparrow]

Cause it is

[harsh tree]

Really good game

[shrewd sparrow]

Bad pacing is a flaw

[fleet gulch]

My complaints about Days Gone is that the open world is really empty with barely any content to do aside from the story, the story is kinda meh and the character development is not bad, but it's not great either, but my biggest issue about the game is that the gameplay doesn't feel fun for me

[shrewd sparrow]

You can feel pacing

You know when it's bad and rarely notice when it's good

[stable crown]

[charred gust]

i understand that, but its when you say shit like this that it becomes an issue

[harsh tree]

I don’t think days gone is comparable to other Sony first party games but it’s definitely one of the best games I’ve played in the last 5 years

I found it really fun and the story was cool

Blowing up hordes of zombies is a bonus

I also really like deacon as a character, one of the only games where you play as an obvious schizo

[charred gust]

keyword here being you and anything being felt by you which is already a subjective matter is automatically subjective as well

[shrewd sparrow]

Yes cause if we already have days gone, which took a lot of inspiration from the last of us yet still delivered a game people didn't like as much then just cut out the middle man. Instead of a days gone sequel just give me a last of sequel with an open world

[charred gust]

it's like saying good music is objective because you can hear it and feel it

[stable crown]

Deacon was a well written character, and the dialogue felt like real people talking

[raven vale]

Agreed

[stable crown]

I loved the story, It kept me wanting to see the rest of it

[charred gust]

"yet still delivered a game people didn't like as much then just cut out the middle man." Hey no one cares about these people, just nuke them

[raven vale]

I rented days gone when it came out and enjoyed it enough to buy it

[charred gust]

like there's a fine line between opinion and fact, and it shouldnt be crossed

[harsh tree]

I don’t think the last of us would work as an open world, I’ve played neither but seen a lot of walkthroughs and whatnot, the gameplay seems very tight and like it’s meant to be linear, days gone is built with a far more open world in mind.

Hence the motorcycle, hordes and enemy camps

[charred gust]

^

[raven vale]

Yeah

[shrewd sparrow]

Bro what

[raven vale]

TLOU would not be a good open world game

They tried to have a small section in the second game for open world and it just felt weird

[shrewd sparrow]

And I don't think that the open world was worth the sacrifice to core gameplay elements that they took from the last of us

[harsh tree]

Also when I see days gone I don’t really think of tlou whatsoever, the only real similarities are zombies and a character focused emotion driven story, I think of days gone as a different take on the walking dead

[stable crown]

People didn't like as much?

[charred gust]

you're suggesting they don't make a sequel and instead just replace it with a TLOU sequel, so you're essentially saying fuck you to anyone who liked the first game and wanted to see a sequel, because in your opinion it wasn't good enough to deserve a 2nd game

[harsh tree]

Except days gone didn’t take anything from tlou

[raven vale]

I feel like Days Gone is required to be an open world based on the motorcycle aspect

[charred gust]

THANK YOU

[shrewd sparrow]

No the gameplay is very similar

[charred gust]

finally someone who isn't just like "its just an open world TLOU lmao same gameplay bro"

[harsh tree]

That’s pretty natural, a third person gun game with zombies is gonna feel similar

[stable crown]

Listen, I will be real here, I think there are some minor elements they took from LoU but not enough to say that they took core elements or that it's a rip off

[raven vale]

I loved both games and they feel very different from each other

[stable crown]

Days Gone feels like it's own thing

[harsh tree]

Days gone just IS it’s own thing

[raven vale]

Days gone feels very, I guess, run and gun?
