You remind me of Johnny Sins. The astronaut.

[quasi prairie]

I thought he was a doctor?

[stark oyster]

He could be a plumber...

He's very versatile

[quasi prairie]

He’s a man of many careers I’ve been told.

[pseudo swallow]

Normal pc stuff

Pc is not optimised

[hollow vector]

Nah it's optimised fine just very unstable

[pseudo swallow]

Idk why they do this tbh

[hollow vector]

Anything and everything will trigger it to shit the bed

[pseudo swallow]

Its since a few years they make so much problems

Older cod would run fine on pc

[hollow vector]

Well older cods were also a lot simpler

[pseudo swallow]

True

[hollow vector]

Not as many moving parts

[pseudo swallow]

There is the solition

Good gameplay> graphics

Mw2/3 didnt had wow graphics but were fun to play

[hollow vector]

Well a 2022 triple a game needs to look good

And it does

Very good

[pseudo swallow]

Id rather have mw2 remastered

But cant change time

[hollow vector]

But the people working on the graphics aren't the same devs working on gameplay

[pseudo swallow]

True

Still have to try dmz

But idk if i can get the m13

[hollow vector]

I think it's good fun

[pseudo swallow]

Saw jev try it…

[hollow vector]

I've had it a few times

[pseudo swallow]

[hollow vector]

It's harder to get now

You can't drive into the chemist

[pseudo swallow]

Guess ill just throw swuadfill

[hollow vector]

But I can just drop in with it now so it's chill

Dunno if I can give my insured one to mates and they get it

[pseudo swallow]

They removed cooldown?

[hollow vector]

No

[pseudo swallow]

[hollow vector]

Well it's risk vs reward

[pseudo swallow]

I believe u can

[hollow vector]

Go in with meh civ guns

Or go in with your golden fully modded gun and risk losing it for an hour and a bit

[pseudo swallow]

Its about the gun, not the bp

[hollow vector]

BP?

[pseudo swallow]

I was checking bf2042 first

[pseudo swallow]

Blueprint

[hollow vector]

Oh

[pseudo swallow]

So ill just throw dmz sometime soon

Cant wait for the hackers

[hollow vector]

[pseudo swallow]

When was the last time u slept

[hollow vector]

I've had plenty of sleep

Just free time, skills and double xp boosters

[pseudo swallow]

[hollow vector]

[hollow vector]

Play with mates

Don't be bad

[pseudo swallow]

Squadfill

[pseudo swallow]

Could be a problem

[quasi prairie]

Ready or not is a good game.

But the enemy’s one tapping you is brutal.

[thick quarry]

hey guys what should I buy in mw2 store

[stark oyster]

Nothing

The store rn is ass

[thick quarry]

[normal crown]

Dmz?

[stark oyster]

Battlefield

[normal crown]

Bf 1 3 4 were peak

[patent otter]

Bf1 is still my favourite

[pseudo swallow]

2042 is not that good

Cant get xp

[slim zealot]

Bf 2042 pilots are something else

[pseudo swallow]

Not like bf4

Or 3

https://tenor.com/view/battlefield4-battlefield-light-armored-vehicle-lav-flying-lav-gif-22061657

@digital kite have u tried floodland?

[digital kite]

I have not

[pseudo swallow]

Will u try it?

Dont even know if its your type of game

[devout berry]

@somber valve he still fails to crit

[fleet gulch]

I managed to get a tank on top of ortibal building in the first 30 minutes of the beta going live

[pseudo swallow]

Bf4 had some amazing stuff aswell

[fleet gulch]

I will forever remember this moment, when c4 still worked on vehicles, not sure why they don't anymore and I'm very madge

[pseudo swallow]

They nerfed xp

[digital kite]

i dont even know what that is

[pseudo swallow]

Simulation game

[leaden orchid]

@vital vector

Imagine if Bethesda actually put more effort into the factions, Institute would be way more popular if this was possible

[fleet gulch]

Now that Bethesda and Obsidian are working under the same company, it would be amazing to see them work together on a fallout game

[vital vector]

Yeah, that's pretty true.

Once you're the head of Institute, you gain the ability to.... do nothing.

[leaden orchid]

Also, I'm grinding all the endings for the story achievements, and all the ending cutscenes are the fucking same

With the vague message about the Sole Survivor just talking about their journey and some really basic shit, ending with the typical "war never changes" line

So fucking bad

What happened to the detailed slides showing what the future had for all the companions, factions and major characters?

I really want to love F4 but I can't I can only like it

[vital vector]

[leaden orchid]

Tbh I wouldn't be so excited

Apparently Outer Worlds as ok, and from a gameplay perspective, Bethesda doesn't look like they know what they're doing

[fleet gulch]

Curios what engine they gonna make after they retire their current one after Starfield

[stable crown]

Which fallput has the best gunplay?

[leaden orchid]

Is the one they're using for Starfield also the same one they used for F76/4?

[leaden orchid]

Honestly, New Vegas gets some things better than 4, but overall 4

[stable crown]

Hmm

I didn't really like the combat in New Vegas

It was so stiff

Maybe I'll try F4

[fleet gulch]

the same one they used for new vegas, 3, skyrim too

[leaden orchid]

Literally the only thing holding back FNV is the engine for gameplay

[stable crown]

I really wanted to like it

[leaden orchid]

Wait that's all the same? I thought Skyrim was on a new engine

[fleet gulch]

Creation Engine

[stable crown]

But the gameplay was very stiff and there was a lot of talking with people that behaved like robots

[leaden orchid]

New Vegas was developed for 18 months

Only 1 and a half years

And they cranked out this game

Insane

[fleet gulch]

The engine is a fork of an older engine

[leaden orchid]

I don't know what that means

[leaden orchid]

New Vegas or 4?

[stable crown]

New Vegas

[leaden orchid]

All Bethesda games have a level of stiffness, that's just their shitty outdated engine

[fleet gulch]

Old engine was too old, so they took that engine and started rewriting it

[leaden orchid]

Gotcha

[fleet gulch]

Instead of a building a new one

[leaden orchid]

They definitely need a new one

[stable crown]

Man I just hope starfield is gonna be at least somewhat fun to play

[leaden orchid]

What's funny is that Fallout 4 only has a few unique animations for talking to people in certain circumstances

Like Piper when she's outside Diamond City

Or Maxson with Danse

[harsh tree]

Fallout 4 is carried by its combat, I’d imagine starfield will also be carried by combat

[leaden orchid]

Otherwise they all do the same "NPC speak" animation

[harsh tree]

And maybe some of the rpg mechanics, they’re bringing back a lot of cool rpg stuff from older games

[fleet gulch]

Honestly, I hate still animations where only the mouth moves

[stable crown]

it's just so weird that a game so heavy on talking has such poor voice acting and no facial animations

[fleet gulch]

Who the fuck stays completely still and just talks?

[harsh tree]

Mark Zuckerberg and old people

[fleet gulch]

Lizards don't count

[harsh tree]

Okay just old people

[stable crown]

My grandfather shows more emotion talking about fart jokes than any character in fallout

[leaden orchid]

Fallout 4 is a step back in every way to New Vegas except for:

• Graphical fidelity
• Companion interaction / dialogue with other NPCs (making comments etc)
• No max level / cap, meaning that you're not limited to what kind of build you wanna do
• Gear crafting / customisation / renaming
• Settlement creation
• Power armour actually feels like power armour
• Most of the gunplay

[pseudo swallow]

Mf legit nerfed how u get the m13

Guess ill just join randoms and them drop it

[harsh tree]

Idk this is kind of an unpopular opinion but I don’t think fallout 4 is a bad game

[leaden orchid]

It's not

It's just disappointing

It's the DL2 of Fallout

[harsh tree]

It’s a shit rpg and could’ve been so much more but I’m overall pretty happy with the game

[pseudo swallow]

4 is better than 76

[leaden orchid]

We don't talk about 76

[harsh tree]

I think the gunplay and weapon customization helps the game a lot

[fleet gulch]

yo Aussie, you should play Weird RPG

[harsh tree]

When 76 is a better rpg than fallout 4

[leaden orchid]

wtf is that

[fleet gulch]

A weird rpg, it's in the name

[leaden orchid]

I'm prob just gonna play Disco Elysium

[fleet gulch]

It has weapons that are worse the better hardware you have

[leaden orchid]

wtf

[harsh tree]

Meta asf

[pseudo swallow]

Wait its a real name?

Weird rpg

Lol

[fleet gulch]

gonna buy this game soon

[harsh tree]

So like if you have a 3090 the game gives you a stick and rock to fight with or something?

[leaden orchid]

Look at the image lol

[fleet gulch]

no, each weapon is different, that one is the one that is worse the better gpu you have

It has one where the less fps you have the more damage it does lmao

[pseudo swallow]

@blazing wraith what level

Cant get higher than 33

Takes so much time

[harsh tree]

What sucks is that in 2015 when fallout 4 launched, Bethesda was still putting out games semi-frequently. People took the disappointment a lot better because Bethesda usually didn’t wait that long to make games.

Now we won’t get a fallout game for like another 10 years

So we’re just stuck with 4 and 76

[paper thicket]

runescape remaster

[leaden orchid]

AAA games as a whole are taking longer to release these days

[fleet gulch]

Runescape 2 Electric Boogaloo

[harsh tree]

And a lot of them seem to be basic ass 2017 quality games

I honestly don’t know why these games are taking longer and longer

The quality seems to have stagnated a few years ago

[pseudo swallow]

AAA is garbage nowadays

Not the quality it used to be

[leaden orchid]

I think this is because of 2 reasons:

• More complicated technology behind these games as they get better graphical fidelity, requiring more dev time
• Games are milked more when they came out, with DLCs and "live service" content etc

[pseudo swallow]

And that for the massive price increases… 70-100

I remember buying full games for 30-40

[fleet gulch]

I've been working with game dev and could tell you why I think they take so much longer

The biggest reason for games taking so long are the investors wanting safe bets games, going through dozens of revisions until they are satisfied

[harsh tree]

Yeah the live service stuff probably takes up a lot of time, making stuff before launch that won’t even be in the game for months

[stable crown]

There was a time where games used to cost 80$

[harsh tree]

Yet the quality and polish of games seems to just go down and down

[paper thicket]

Do you think it is a problem that has manifested in recent years, as in something practical changed about development itself, rather than it being caused by higher quality demands and system requirements

[fleet gulch]

Because the more revisions they make, the less quality they can put into the game to meet demands and deadlines

[harsh tree]

It’s like the reasons are one thing but then these games actually come out and are just not good

[paper thicket]

I feel like in the old days games could be pumped out consistently and there was never drama regarding standards

[leaden orchid]

I think publishers are pushing to milk games more by spending less and making more. And people still buy games so as a whole everyone is bagging into this style of development.

[paper thicket]

Maybe social media has created an environment that generates so much pressure it affects the results

[fleet gulch]

Back then, the competition was sparse, now we have professional level tools as open source free to use for anyone

[harsh tree]

It honestly seems like some of the best games come from companies that don’t really have a social media presence

Or don’t heavily delve into insane marketing and stunts

Which is how it should be tbh, cyberpunk spending more money on marketing than they did development is a prime example as to why it’s a shit move

[stable crown]

People are complaining so much about modern gaming, but I still think that in the last couple of years we got many games better than anything like 2 decades ago

[fleet gulch]

Hey, they didn't spent more on marketing than on dev. They spent only 40% of their budget on marketing

[stable crown]

There are many more games that are shit but there are also many more good games

[harsh tree]

I just can’t really agree

I can play a game from 2005 and have insane amounts of fun

[fleet gulch]

There have always been good and bad games, but we lose through rose tinted glasses for the past and only remember the good ones

[harsh tree]

So many games nowadays just look pretty and have nothing under the surface

Or are live service milk machines only meant to take my money

[pseudo swallow]

Yes, today

[stable crown]

I can think of many games nowadays that are also amazing

[leaden orchid]

This is also true

[paper thicket]

Fromsoftware

[fleet gulch]

you should play big rigs over the road racing

[harsh tree]

Fewer games are coming out, and more games are turning out shit

That’s the issue

[paper thicket]

Meanwhile when you think of strong social media presence examples

Ubisoft

[pseudo swallow]

Borderlands 1, pre, 2, cod 4, mw2/3 ghost. Grand turismo up to 5.

[paper thicket]

EA

Cod devs?

[fleet gulch]

You might wanna give indie devs a shot

[pseudo swallow]

U can count em to

[harsh tree]

I can think of mainly only Sony games, rockstar games or fromsoft games

[pseudo swallow]

Double a aswell

Stray was a succes

[stable crown]

I honestly think that people who consider old cod games better are only saying that because either they heard it's great or because of nostalgia

There are thing cod used to do better

[harsh tree]

Companies like Ubisoft, EA, BioWare and Bethesda used to also pump out really good games and now everything they make is meh at best

[stable crown]

But overall gameplay has been greatly improved as well as campaigns

[paper thicket]

Fuck rockstar for what was done to gta online over the years but I guess red dead is good

[pseudo swallow]

Actually playable games with normal pricetags and normal stuff

[paper thicket]

Still amazed by how you can completely un-develop a game

[harsh tree]

Which is insane when you consider the budget that goes into the development

[pseudo swallow]

Mw2009 campaign > mw22 campaign

[stable crown]

Normal pricetags because they're a decade old lol

[paper thicket]

Or the multiplayer of it at least

[pseudo swallow]

Hack, mw3 was a blast

[leaden orchid]

For me it's the campaigns

[paper thicket]

You log in and you want to vomit

[leaden orchid]

I can understand that multi is much better in the modern cods

[pseudo swallow]

https://tenor.com/view/cod-gif-25279394

[paper thicket]

Meanwhile years ago you used to log in knowing you're going to have some of the best time with friends ever

[harsh tree]

So is mw2 like an alternate reality og mw2?

[pseudo swallow]

Will these times ever come back

[paper thicket]

If you find me playing gta online again I probably have lost my mind

[harsh tree]

I’ve heard it’s like a revised version of the old story

[pseudo swallow]

Not at all

[stable crown]

Not really it's a reboot

[harsh tree]

Ew

Mw2 had a perfect story

[stable crown]

As in they are better now or used to be better

[pseudo swallow]

Its a continueation of mw2019

[harsh tree]

Why would they reboot it

:(

[stable crown]

Old cods had good storues but man the gameplay was pretty boring

[leaden orchid]

I liked the older campaigns

[pseudo swallow]

It has sone notches to og cods like the ac130 mission but its nothing like og cod

[stable crown]

It's just shooting and on Rails sections

[leaden orchid]

MW2 2022 looked much better as a campaign than 2019

[stable crown]

Not much variaty

[pseudo swallow]

No

Not ar all

Mw2018 had some deep impact

[leaden orchid]

It had far better variety of gameplay

And really nice set piece segments

Like dangling upside down from a chopper

That shit was awesome

[pseudo swallow]

Cleanhouse and the london attack, the gasattack where u play as child farah

[stable crown]

I think writing and story are worse but they're still good

[leaden orchid]

^^

[stable crown]

But gameplay is undeniably better

[pseudo swallow]

Lets not talk about the tedious and boring ending

[pseudo swallow]

Nit saying its bad

Its average

[leaden orchid]

I don't find either new MW games particularly great but I preferred 2022's campaign

[pseudo swallow]

2019 better

[leaden orchid]

Just from watching a full playthrough of both of them

[charred gust]

nah the amount of classics we had back in the day is still insane, its because back then there wasn't a norm so devs were always trying to experiment and come up with new stuff, now its rare to find that outside of the indie scene, and the difference is back then you had major AAA titles experimenting, so those ideas would get boosted infinitely with the art level of a major studio

[pseudo swallow]

Cleanhouse and child farah were much more impactfull

[charred gust]

when you see games like dayz that blow up but they're still indie games in terms of quality you can see that

[leaden orchid]

I got bored with the child farah segment

Clean house is cool tho

[pseudo swallow]

London attack

[stable crown]

Clean House is easily in like top 10 missions in cod

[pseudo swallow]

And the secret soldiers of bengazi notch

[leaden orchid]

I like the AC-130 segment in 2022, as well as the highway chase, those were probably the best parts in the game

[pseudo swallow]

That ambasy mission

[stable crown]

The farah segment was fine on first playthroughs but it was boring on repeated ones

[leaden orchid]

And the stealth segment with wounded Soap

[pseudo swallow]

That was tedious

[leaden orchid]

I liked it

[pseudo swallow]

Imma have to put it on recruit for that

[charred gust]

also how SJW media is these days, like just compare rockstar back then and them now, if they make a manhunt 3 or bully 2 today's sensitive media would blast them

[leaden orchid]

Skill issue

[pseudo swallow]

Nah redicioulos ai

[leaden orchid]

xQc, the shittiest person at stealth, did it fine

[pseudo swallow]

Wallhax is not skillissue

[stable crown]

Idk man I'd much rather play any from soft game that most games from 2000s

[leaden orchid]

Sounds like skill issue

[pseudo swallow]

But still

[stable crown]

Or any sony game

[pseudo swallow]

Imma call wallhax skillissue then

[paper thicket]

I was never a big campaign player because at the age I played cod there was a language barrier between me and the story modes. I didn't even play online until I was 12. Before that point my only experience of multiplayer was playing split screen with friends and family. Where my step brother actually introduced me to quickscoping culture way before I started watching youtube. I played some campaigns years later but I was so used to multi that it didn't really have a catch for me. Until AW came around...

[pseudo swallow]

My point still stands tho. Og cod best cod

[leaden orchid]

I love all the old Halos, and the Gears of War trilogy (I'm ignoring 4 and 5). Then there's New Vegas. Yeah I dig tons of 000s games

[charred gust]

yeah because you're not supposed to play them today, its the same argument you'd have back in the 2000s about games that came out in the 80's

[pseudo swallow]

Jak x combat racing

[charred gust]

if you missed them you're just not part of the culture, unless you force yourself to go back and play them, which most people can't do unfortunately

[stable crown]

I used to play those games when I was Younger too you know

[harsh tree]

Some 2000’s games held up incredibly well

[stable crown]

I still think many new games are better

[harsh tree]

Going on a nostalgia trip once in a while also just helps your brain cleanse after so many basic modern games

[pseudo swallow]

Ratchet and clank

[paper thicket]

000 games have a place in my heart too because of Valve nostalgia + random indies back in the day @leaden orchid

[charred gust]

like i could go back and play the original prince of persia trilogy and they still hold up if you look aside the graphics obviously, same with the DMC games apart from 2

[leaden orchid]

Oh shit, of course, valve games are goated too

[pseudo swallow]

https://tenor.com/view/gaming-brit-jak_2-renegade-jak-and-daxter-jak-gif-23993254

[leaden orchid]

HL2 was fucking amazing having played it for the first time in like 2020

[charred gust]

they still havent made a dbz game thats better than infinite world

[paper thicket]

Half Life 1 was actually my first zombie fps game

[pseudo swallow]

Im gonna check if i still have this

My god

[paper thicket]

And I played it when I was 9

The game's opening chapters and some sounds are completely engraved in my brain like rudamentary skills you learn as a kid

[pseudo swallow]

https://tenor.com/view/russian-ghost-yuri-gif-26199006

[charred gust]

the fact that you have companies going back and remaking games because they literally dont know how to push their franchises further is hilarious and sad at the same time

[leaden orchid]

That's me with Halo

[pseudo swallow]

Did u try/play rts by any chance aussie?

[blazing wraith]

level 18

[paper thicket]

Honestly Halo is a very acquired taste and amazing at that.

All my life I've been ignoring halo because it never seemed interesting

[pseudo swallow]

Told ya grinding levels is hard

[paper thicket]

But after I played MCC

[pseudo swallow]

Tried some stuff but still get 20k max

[paper thicket]

You can feel the nostalgia even if you never experienced it

[blazing wraith]

I got 36 revives last game

[paper thicket]

It just has that old game atmosphere

[blazing wraith]

[pseudo swallow]

Should give u atleast a few level ups

[charred gust]

one thing i've realized recently is franchises should do what supermassive is doing with their dark pictures anthologies franchise, but do it in a way that fits their respective franchises, you don't get bored of the games and at the same time they can make 2 year releases

[pseudo swallow]

But nope

[paper thicket]

And now I'm totally into Halo too

[pseudo swallow]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-chat-discord-meme-halo-master-chief-halo-infinite-gif-24866624

Vilkki’s opening

[leaden orchid]

The good ending

[pseudo swallow]

Didnt u use it once? Or was it aussie

Don’t remember anymore but someone used it as a hello

[paper thicket]

Crex

He is another halo head

[leaden orchid]

To be fair, those games have a real level of scuff to them, with facial animations and seemingly random shit that happens that I can't really explain other than it looks like a movie scene that missed a few seconds of a random shot or actors weren't blocked properly

[pseudo swallow]

Ah

[paper thicket]

It's very like crex to use this gif

[leaden orchid]

Until Dawn was their best game to this date still

[pseudo swallow]

So much halo

[leaden orchid]

You know it's crazy how far Halo has fallen

It literally used to be an industry leader, on the same level if not less than Fortnite nowadays

[stable crown]

man when Until Down came out the animations were amazing

But they haven't improved upon them at all in the last 10 years

[pseudo swallow]

Jak 1,2,3, and x remastered

[leaden orchid]

Bill Gates presentations, tons of insane marketing everywhere, times square, even ads that aired on TV (internationally too, not just US). I vividly remember the MULTIPLAYER trailer for Halo 3 that aired on New Zealand TV when I was like 8 or 9 years old.

[charred gust]

their release model is fantastic, they can keep making these games forever and they'll never get stale, they can keep implementing new gameplay elements as well as completely switch up the style / theme, like i havent played devil in me yet im gonna play the quarry soon then move on to that but the formula is insane

it also helps that only them and quantic dream make these games

[leaden orchid]

House of Ashes is my favourite one they've done other than Until Dawn

Then The Quarry

Everything else is meh for me

[charred gust]

its still a relatively fresh genre compared to most other genres where you feel like you're playing the same trash

[paper thicket]

https://youtube.com/shorts/DzKoTHBllBQ?feature=share

[charred gust]

did you play quantic dreams' games ?

[pseudo swallow]

Its master chief from fortnite

[charred gust]

heavy rain is a classic

[leaden orchid]

Detroit BH / Heavy Rain? Nah

But I've watched a playthrough of DBH

Best game of that kind

[paper thicket]

Master chef from fortnite is pretty cool he should get his own game

[frail wind]

heresy

[leaden orchid]

Better than any Supermassive game lol

[leaden orchid]

[charred gust]

quantic dreams started the whole gig, supermassive sort of just walked in on the genre uninvited and also started making them but they're welcome to stay

then u had those shitshow games like night shift who tried to be a netflix show

[leaden orchid]

Yeah I'm completely okay with those kind of games

It's also the only games that ACTUALLY have proper impactful choices that reverb throughout the entire story

[stable crown]

I actually like Quantic Dreams much more than supermasive

[leaden orchid]

Even the small ones

[leaden orchid]

Way more

[charred gust]

the netflix show games are still okay for a first playthrough i only played one, but they still feel generic because you know it's all still shot irl so they cant do as much

[pseudo swallow]

Fun fact: fortnites campaign was actually fun

[paper thicket]

[stable crown]

They look better, play better

[pseudo swallow]

But the focussed so much on br they forgor about it

[leaden orchid]

What about the ACTUAL Netflix show, Black Mirror had a "choose your own adventure" episode called Bandersnatch

Overrated as hell but still good

I rember when everyone played until dawn

[frail wind]

iirc that was a standalone movie type

[stable crown]

In glorious 10 fps

[leaden orchid]

Well yeah but it was still part of Black Mirror

One funny thing about Until Dawn was how the main character was the most bland

[stable crown]

Under the red hood has a choose your own adventure movie

[leaden orchid]

When usually it's the other way around

[stable crown]

Looks sick

But it's not sold digitally

[charred gust]

idk not really into the netflix game / show type thing, mainly because i heard they're gonna keep them as an exclusive to the platform

and i dont watch netflix anyways

[pseudo swallow]

There it is

Exclusives bs again

[stable crown]

Wait who was the main character?

You mean Josh?

[leaden orchid]

sam

The one who afks in a bath for like 80% of the game

[stable crown]

Huh

I never thought of her as the main character

[leaden orchid]

Josh is one of the best characters in the game there lol

[stable crown]

it feels like she appears the least lol

[leaden orchid]

Yeah but she's listed as the main char and is the one that is the hardest to kill off lol

[stable crown]

brah

[charred gust]

i don't really care since i know its not gonna be that good, unless they spend like 500 hours just recording alternative scenarios but like even then how much can you actually do

[honest crane]

She figured out the strategie to all horror movies

[charred gust]

just seems like a shitshow, just make a game

whats insane is how good they looked back in the PS4 era even with until dawn and detroit, so imagine the ps5 exclusive

[pseudo swallow]

I remember when games came out and everyone could play regardless of platform

Now u get punished for beign on any of the platforms

[stable crown]

Man detroit somehow looked a ton better and ran a ton better than until dawn

[charred gust]

then they

Console wars are so ancient they have a meme value to them. However people unironically still participate in them which is just sad

[charred gust]

they're making a star wars game now apparently

[devout berry]

console bad

[charred gust]

gonna be a flood of star wars games, you got the KOTR remake, jedi survivor, the quantic dream game

[pseudo swallow]

Didnt like it in the first place

[charred gust]

2 of those star wars games are gonna be ps5 exclusives for atleast a year too

lmao

[pseudo swallow]

Waiting for nfs unbounded

Lets hope it doesnt flop

[pseudo swallow]

I want a whole city

Lets hope it works

Eyyyy

Not this remixed version but the original, however, i did indeed rock with it while it was playing

@leaden orchid I have an idea of some games you could play, ever heard of Lucius? The trilogy is on sale for 1$

[stable crown]

Man

Lucius slaps

[fleet gulch]

https://www.fanatical.com/en/bundle/lucius-complete-collection

I remember watching pewdiepie playing this back in 2012

[leaden orchid]

Never heard of it

[fleet gulch]

WHAT

It's like Hitman, but you a child

[normal crown]

[charred gust]

i played the first one for like 2 hours

that game was a meme

you'd go to the kitchen and set it up to explode and shit

lmfao

[fleet gulch]

Great game

Tomorrow gonna start recording a game that feels so good to play, making a video on it

[somber valve]

I CANT FIND IT

on steam

[fleet gulch]

because the sale is not on steam, it's the bundle on fanatical

[somber valve]

https://tenor.com/view/tf2-gif-13528269

[fleet gulch]

oof

[frail wind]

man i used to love this game back in the day

[frail wind]

its a linear game where you play as a posessed demon child

idk if youd find it fun tbh

[leaden orchid]

That doesn’t sound like Hitman lol

[frail wind]

but it was the shit back in the lasr decade

not at all like hitman

think indie-level

[fleet gulch]

Think old hitman games

They play kinda the same

[frail wind]

nah man even the old hitman games were better

but yeah

somewhat

the point is to kill

as a kid

so you cant go all shooty with it

[fleet gulch]

if you gonna play it on stream, I have a 1$ code on fanatical I can give it to you, else I'll give it to last hope since he seems interested in them

[frail wind]

give it to me

[fleet gulch]

I'll buy the bundle myself and give each of you a key

[frail wind]

nah its ok mate i alr have both games i think

i think they used unity for the second one

[fleet gulch]

there's 4 of them though

[frail wind]

oh really???

wow

damn

[fleet gulch]

1 2 3 and a demake

[frail wind]

i thought 2 was the last

holy sheet

i gotta watch playthrus

the second game didnt have the charm of the first one

he is great at making bland pasta

[harsh tree]

My internet is dookie and I don’t have elden ring installed

[stark oyster]

I killed the headless dude last

[quasi prairie]

That was the second easiest boss in the game. But my favorite because of the scenery.

[harsh tree]

I might actually play sekiro

I’m pretty good at parrying in games

[stark oyster]

A lot of the bosses are just "deflect to win" basically

[harsh tree]

And I heard sekiro is like parry simulator

[quasi prairie]

Sekiro on hardest difficulty was a master piece.

[stark oyster]

Somewhat

The game does punish you for bad timings, but not too often.

[fleet gulch]

Sekiro is the hardest to learn, and the easiest to master

[stark oyster]

I struggled with Mikiri counter 😭

"(B) to use mikiri counter"
"But what direction?"

[quasi prairie]

The only boss that will punish you for bad timing is the blind man if you betray him.

[stark oyster]

I learned after a boss that required it that there's a whole ass tutorial

[quasi prairie]

He gave me a challenge and I trained so I could keep up with him.

[stark oyster]

jesus

[fleet gulch]

You should check it out, game is freaking amazing

[quasi prairie]

[fleet gulch]

yep

really cheap too

I would strongly recommend the game

[quasi prairie]

Ill give it a scope when I get home

[fleet gulch]

this one of the swords in the game lmao

The sword of Poor guy

There's one "Great Shinobi" and there's "Father" I think.

[shrewd sparrow]

Ye

Father owl is much later

[stark oyster]

I'm like halfway into the story

I'm at corrupted monk

[shrewd sparrow]

I saw your clip of genichiro that fight goes so hard

[stark oyster]

Definitely

[shrewd sparrow]

Corrupted monk is mid

The best fights are the human fights imo

[stark oyster]

True

[shrewd sparrow]

Even the mini boss generals and stuff are fun

[stark oyster]

Fromsoft makes awesome human fights, but the like giants and stuff are weird.

[shrewd sparrow]

Sekiros combat just works well against an enemy with a similar weapon or moveset to you

In the other cases it's usually just because the hitboxes are wonky

Also there are some fights in Sekiro that are dark souls fights through and through and they tend to be the most boring

[stark oyster]

I killed the headless ape

I have 7 attack power now

[charred gust]

@normal crown legit the more i play ragnarok the more i love it

like its already at RDR2 level of goatness and i'm pretty sure im only like halfway through

just how much of a step up from 2018 it is and that game was already a contender for best game of that generation, and the fact that its so jam packed with new shit that you would've had no idea they'd do in many aspects (plot, gameplay, level design, art direction, narration as well as VA)

like ive already went "how the fuck is this in this game ?" so many times its insane, with other franchises you'll maybe find 1 or 2 new cool things where its like "hey cool they actually changed that and its not the same as it was in the previous 5 games in this franchise", but for them to completely reboot the franchise and be able to do all of this in just the 2nd game ? its just insane, this game is on its own league ahead of anything else

the best boss fight in the game

Owl was a good boss fight.

Like when?

It seemed pretty consistent the entire way through

Pacing was an issue, but there were no "180s" in the story that I saw

That's not a 180

That's a twist

A twist that had multiple setups

A 180 is what I would describe something happening to the story that makes it go in a completely different direction for almost no reason

Game is a grind fest

car game grind fest? 😭

[fleet gulch]

Yep

[devout berry]

what do you grind for

bitches?

[fleet gulch]

Cars

[charred gust]

yes, and it had that

||the enemy that's been hyped up from the ending of the first game just showing up in the first hour of your playthrough, and then his literal father which is supposed to be the final boss too, the revelation about ragnarok, the fact that you literally move in with them ? like richie said i'm only this far and there's already been so many 180's, which is what makes a great plot, they give you what you're not expecting and actually have it good||

[pseudo swallow]

Apparently, there is a new game called floodland (haven’t even heard of it until like yesterday)

On steam btw

[honest crane]

Noted

[frail wind]

the coin trick is cool i guess

havent seen a playthru of it in a while

[charred gust]

its not that bad, and always has been like this in GT games to a certain extent, genuinely don't get what the fuss is about with 7, i guess the fact that they now let you buy them

its always annoying when people use BS excuses to shit on a game and ignore everything else it has to offer, GT makes you play through it atleast once and it tries to simulate that rising up from nothing life of a driver, mofos who don't like that system should go play other sims

[pseudo swallow]

No, i want to complain and shit on a game other people like but i dont cuz it makes me feel good

Aka society

[charred gust]

yes, and i'll shit on a game from a franchise i didn't even know until i saw the herd shitting on it, i'll also give my youtube playthrough take and pretend i have 5k hours in the game

oh and one more thing, i'll base literally every exact take i have on what the majority also thinks

[pseudo swallow]

https://tenor.com/view/why-recycle-bin-society-trash-society-gif-15795621

[leaden orchid]

@vital vector DL is everywhere, I'm watching this video and hear this: https://youtu.be/tWfH6S-6FxQ?t=43

[leaden orchid]

No, because all of those twists and developments of story were actually supported by character decisions that made sense. For me, a 180 is a NEGATIVE thing, that as I stated, is change in direction that was done for no reason.

[charred gust]

So basically

the plot is goated

[leaden orchid]

It's not without it's flaws but it's otherwise fantastic

[charred gust]

It's better than 2018's and at this point everyone should universally agree on that, it's a sequel that doesn't fall in the sequel trap

[leaden orchid]

2018 had the benefit of being way more focused

Ragnarok covers a LOT of things but overall manages to do it very well

[charred gust]

Paired with the new gameplay and the new world it makes for a goated game, people need to stop trying to take away from it just to give ER GOTY

Like just stop

[charred gust]

they succeeded in not overwhelming you with garbage as well as making you wanna play it more

rather than "cool, imma take a break now"

the side quests are there and i literally always WANT to do them, and then you have the main quests which are another conversation on their own

[leaden orchid]

I do think there's a legitimate debate between ER and GOWR though

I personally prefer to give it to GOWR

There are noticeable flaws in both games

GOWR replayability (unable to skip cutscenes) and hand holding through puzzles

ER with online play and boss design with summons

Funnily enough both of these can be fixed

They just haven't yet

[charred gust]

There is a debate but you shouldn't use BS to dismiss either of them in favor of the other which is what i've seen alot of people do (from both sides), what's annoying even more is how much of a divide the whole awards are creating and how much toxicity it generates every fucking year

[leaden orchid]

If you value a good story more, then GOWR should GOTY for you. If you're all about gameplay and care little for story, ER is better suited.

[charred gust]

like idk why the general public thinks if your personal GOTY doesn't win it makes it any less of your fav game

at this point they should legit just scrap them and do a youtube rewind type of event

[leaden orchid]

As great as the gameplay is for GOWR, the story is VERY key in presence and if it doesn't work for you OR you just want to get to gameplay, the game suffers.

It's why a lot of the older GOW fans didn't like 2018 and also Ragnarok, since OG GOW 1-3 were mainly gameplay with very little story in comparison

I believe so, yes

[charred gust]

The franchise was getting stale by ascension which is why they changed routes, as great as the original trilogy, ascension, chains of olympus and ghost of sparta were if you go back and replay them like i did with 3 back in 2018 you'll notice how it becomes a drag, i feel like most of the people who claim to be OG fans just played the old games recently and jumped in on the herd because if you universally agree that 2018 was goated you can't say ragnarok is garbage

[leaden orchid]

There are people who dislike both

[charred gust]

its just that if you gave 2018 GOTY instead of RDR2 you're not gonna shit on ragnarok

[leaden orchid]

GOW3 still looks great to this day

I can agree with 1 and 2 tho

And I guess the PSP games lol

[charred gust]

like legit its just disappointing how the public seems to be taking the reception of games nowadays in general

[charred gust]

3 and ascension made no sense running on my ps3 back in the day

even with uncharted 3 and TLOU

[leaden orchid]

Well it's better to be overly hypercritical of things you're gonna be voting for as the "best of the year". But it's better to do that with EVERYTHING, not just placing 1 game above the rest and shitting on everything else.

[somber valve]

🤨

[charred gust]

yeah that's the thing that annoys me, "this game doesn't have indian voice acting, garbage we all know .. is the true GOTY"

mofos these days will find any reason to shit on a game, even if that has nothing to do with the overall delivery and the experience you get from the game

and its funny because you know there's certain points they WANT to say but won't because they know they'll be thrown right back at them, like when devs reuse animations / models

[pseudo swallow]

Gow has kratos=trash game L

/s btw

[charred gust]

gow has QTEs = shit game

all in all i think the major platforms should do a thing every year, like a profile showcase in steam where it lets you pick your GOTY and then maybe give a review on why you loved that specific game so much, because the way these ceremonies try to represent the majority is just dumb

Which is precisely the reason it exists

[fleet gulch]

yeah lmao

[shrewd sparrow]

Weapons make fights easier, so does leveling up, so does armor choice

Should these things be removed?

In a lot of cases summons make fights more fun

Like if u expect me to fight radahn with no summons 😐

Summons are literally the easy mode without having to go to the options

yes

[shrewd sparrow]

Which is why they are genius

Everything in the game is there for a good reason

Use the tools the game offers you and you will succeed

Someone who summoned every fight and had a really good build is just as much of a player as the veterans that more no armor, did no summons, and only used a club

[harsh tree]

Until I say I used a blood build and everyone loses their shit and demands I replay the entire game

[charred gust]

don't let the reddit people see this

[shrewd sparrow]

Actually it's what I always tell people when they say the games are too hard. There's tools you can use to make the game easier, whether you decide to use them or not is up to you and no sane person will judge you for it, but the game won't make itself easy for you with a setting

[charred gust]

average "good" gamer these days : uses the meta, browses reddit to get the meta and talks trash to anyone not using it

oh and shit talks anyone who uses something that isnt meta but still good

[shrewd sparrow]

It was imbalanced and broken before, there's a mild argument in to be made considering that stuff has since been balanced out but at the end of the day it was in the game and you used it so nobody can really say shit

[charred gust]

they'll also switch sides to trash talk it if everyone starts doing so too

[shrewd sparrow]

If it's in the game and not a glitch or exploit there's no reason why not to use it

[charred gust]

this sounds like its coming from people who died 900 times to a boss

[shrewd sparrow]

Basically yeah. It's these people who think that you somehow have to "earn" your right to be a fan

[harsh tree]

The game was just fun with a blood build, especially if I could make it look cool

[charred gust]

on the other end of the spectrum there's the type of people who go "you couldn't beat X ? nah bruh you're trash", these are the type of mofos that took 1000 tries to beat them and will compare how they do after beating a boss for 200 times to how a newbie would do

[harsh tree]

I almost always prioritize the aesthetic of my characters than the actual gameplay of it

Actually around like the second half I stopped using a blood build and went with two heavy swords

Just doing crazy amounts of damage

[shrewd sparrow]

Almost like it's a roleplaying game lol

FS fans kinda lost touch with that

[harsh tree]

Don’t let the hardcore souls community hear you say that

They’ll break into your home, Doxx you and punch your dog

[charred gust]

the "hardcore" community that started with DS3 you mean

[shrewd sparrow]

I do enjoy having a real character. I don't roleplay in the games because that's borderline impossible for me to do in souls games but I like having a normal looking character and using badass armor

Like I've only done the goofy character creation once

[charred gust]

such a hardcore fanbase bro wow, they were so hardcore in middle school when demons souls put the studio on the map

[shrewd sparrow]

Nvm twice

In demons souls and DS2 I had a goofy character

[shrewd sparrow]

I started with DS3

Back in January

Played DS3 then bloodborne then elden ring and after elden ring went back and played the rest

[charred gust]

it's always annoying with those hypocrites who jump on the herd and start belittling others, it's like people who started playing FIFA in 2018 and start saying shit like if you don't have a 90 rated team by december you're trash

[charred gust]

yeah but i dont see you trying to degrade people who play these games in a certain way, i'm talking about those mofos

they're the same people who unironically say shit like if you use eddie in tekken you're garbage

[shrewd sparrow]

No I only make fun of players when they start whining for an easy mode and say the game is poorly designed because it's not "inclusive" enough for all types of players

Cause at that point you've earned the degradation

Stubborn entitled gamer trash

Turns out if you don't like a game you don't have to play it 😮

[quasi prairie]

Alright what’s the hot takes for today gentlemen?

[charred gust]

some mofos don't realize by the logic people go with these days every game is trash

[keen crow]

Coke is better than pepsi

[charred gust]

like i don't like farm simulator but i know some people enjoy them so i'm not gonna call it trash

[shrewd sparrow]

I wanna fuck 2b so hard and bad

[charred gust]

and if you enjoy that game its completely fine, nothing wrong with it

[shrewd sparrow]

Wait that's a hot take not a hot take

[quasi prairie]

My brother you and me both. 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽

[charred gust]

its always the same concept to go back to, if no one was trash talking everyone would play what they wanted and it would all be good, but mofos have to go out of their way to trash talk franchises they've literally never heard of just to feel the sense of belonging to a community, i legit think it should be classified as a mental disorder

[shrewd sparrow]

Dr pepper > both

[charred gust]

call it the hate wagon disorder

[keen crow]

Y e s

[charred gust]

The PC community is the dumbest out of all platforms for allowing NVIDIA to become who they are today and not supporting AMD more

[keen crow]

RC is great too

[shrewd sparrow]

Honestly now that 2B is on the mind (as if she ever isn't 🤤) I had something similar with nier automata before playing it. I wouldn't shit on it but I always just thought it was that one game with the sex robot everyone went ooga booga over and never realized that its like a phenomenal video game. Like masterpiece level work of art

[charred gust]

Average nvidia fanboy : but it's okay that my GPU draws 500W ITS A NEW ARCHITECTURE insert 5000 lines of copy pasted google "research"

[harsh tree]

Pc gamers who try to justify spending 2.5x the amount of a ps5 for a gaming rig are annoying
