[cold musk]

Witcher 3 getting its 5 update and cyberpunk is fucked with only 1

[empty estuary]

Well CDPR is making like 3 or 4 games rn

The new expansion was outsourced

[loud compass]

i wouldnt write off another cyberpunk expansion even if they said they arnt doing another one

[clever fiber]

speaking of outsourced, Halo Studios is outsourcing development for the CE remake

[loud compass]

i wonder if this witcher 3 dlc with feature any of the cut story content

https://tenor.com/view/gwent-gwentcard-scoiatael-iorveth-gif-13807026

[cold musk]

I want that mod support in Witcher 3

[fossil patrol]

i got almost got my first STS infinite

[empty estuary]

Probably got delayed till 2027

[fossil patrol]

only thing that kept it was a blood letting in my deck

[loud compass]

probably gonna drop with the dlc

[fossil patrol]

Anger + uneven top

[loud compass]

mod support was scheduled for late 2025 i believe but it got delayed

[cold musk]

Fuck I need to get a pc to mod sht

[empty estuary]

No point in releasing console mod support now, the mod devs make a bunch of mods and fuck off, CDPR drops the update, and all those mod authors dont return

[loud compass]

i modded w3 alot less than i did cyberpunk

simple transmog mod, capes and a new sky

[empty estuary]

W3 doesnt really have a lot of room for mod potential

Its a pretty airtight experience given it has static mc in a world thats already heavily influenced by his existence

Its also fairly reigned in as far as fantasy worlds go

[cold musk]

I’d love ng+ in cyberpunk

[loud compass]

if there arnt capes in songs of the past i aint buying

[mental brook]

How come we are getting a dlc 11 years later anyway??

[empty estuary]

Witcher 4

[loud compass]

because w3 has several endings so they need something to bridge w3 and 4

[empty estuary]

Same idea as borderlands 2 getting a dlc like 7 years later

[mental brook]

Makes sense

Never got into witcher

[loud compass]

it has aged well

[empty estuary]

The books are so good

[empty estuary]

3 has anyways

[loud compass]

can always find it on a steep sale due to age aswell

[upbeat dirge]

books? what are you a nerd?

[empty estuary]

2 is whatever and 1 is kinda ass

[loud compass]

i only played a little bit of 2

[empty estuary]

Which is why its getting remade

[loud compass]

@blissful pagoda did u invite me to something today

[pseudo sparrow]

still love Idris for this

[runic yarrow]

I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't like w3

Love the world and story but the movement is dated af

[ashen shore]

I've owned it since Dec 6 2014 and never played it

[runic yarrow]

I also have it

After a few missions I just wasn't enjoying it cuz of how sloggish it feels

[loud compass]

the combat is ass but i can overlook it

[runic yarrow]

I unfortunately can't

Can't wait for 4 tho

[mental brook]

@blissful pagoda @signal wren @loud compass they nerfed the cape requirements

[signal wren]

I saw the patch

[runic yarrow]

Not worth a tag ?

[mental brook]

You haven't played pve yet

Silly

[mental brook]

@runic yarrow

[signal wren]

[noble tundra]

[blissful pagoda]

Yippee

[runic yarrow]

[noble tundra]

[blissful pagoda]

Uhhh

[runic yarrow]

I liked cheesing the big stupid robots

And seeing how far I could go with the bike in a high level area

[noble tundra]

wait sm2 is only 18$ rn

holy shit

[blissful pagoda]

Peak2 for $18 unbelievable

[runic yarrow]

If I had more money to spend I would've bought 5 more games

[noble tundra]

lots of good games, cant complain

[runic yarrow]

The sales rn are good

[noble tundra]

the lego batman game is gas

and apparently the bond game is solid too

[runic yarrow]

They are

[blissful pagoda]

I’m gonna

skip on buying games for now cuz i already bought like two

i wanna check out Dropout

[ashen shore]

@bright crown cat do you know what a group of weasels is called

[noble tundra]

the specs you need for lego batman are kinda wild tho

you need 16gb of ram to hit 30 fps with frame gen

its so odd

[runic yarrow]

It's always that way for PC

[blissful pagoda]

Nuh uh

[noble tundra]

if the company is shit then yea

but theres defo some well optimized games

[runic yarrow]

I'm talking more so for games that are clearly made with console in mind first

[mental brook]

Peakmarine

[blissful pagoda]

[runic yarrow]

Speaking of peak

I got nothing

Plasma pistol is really good tho

[finite jetty]

See you around Xolo!!!

[runic yarrow]

Where am I going ?

[finite jetty]

Idk you used the emote

[runic yarrow]

[mental brook]

Currently using the heroic one

[runic yarrow]

I gotta play more ow classic for challenges

[mental brook]

Shgood

[runic yarrow]

This shit sucks

[runic yarrow]

There's exotics in this game ?

[mental brook]

Kinda

Special variants that do special stuff

[runic yarrow]

I see

[mental brook]

I made my tactical an iron hands using the tech voice

[runic yarrow]

I was gonna deck my guy out in wolf stuff but I opted in buying games instead

[mental brook]

Goof

[runic yarrow]

I'll stick with the free stuff for now

[loud compass]

[runic yarrow]

Hmm

[blissful pagoda]

Yep, and it is ass

[blissful pagoda]

Executing gives triple damage for 8s

Double & buffed extremis spawns

But the worst part is

Fall of Atreus

So double Helbrute spawns

[loud compass]

[runic yarrow]

That's pretty bad

[loud compass]

[runic yarrow]

They had no competition so they shot themselves in the foot

This the new Steam

[blissful pagoda]

Unlucky

automaton forces has sabotaged ur rig

[blissful pagoda]

I forgot to actually tell u why its bad wups

Two minibosses spawn at the same time

[balmy mason]

Uh, Nintendone? Rog Ally?

[clever fiber]

marathon is getting batch dismantle, never before seen technological advancement

[runic yarrow]

Nintendo switch 2 is a flop and rog ally is a maybe

[balmy mason]

Flop how?

[runic yarrow]

No one's buying it

Besides the Nintendo riders

You can keep the 1 and be fine

[clever fiber]

switch 1 is like 2013 phone hardware

[runic yarrow]

That's enough to run the shit Nintendo puts out

[clever fiber]

it struggled to run pokemon and like totk i think

[frosty yew]

@hollow comet

[clever fiber]

you won't get answers from that one

[blissful pagoda]

Switch 2 is not a flop lol

[balmy mason]

Hmmmm

[frosty yew]

[clever fiber]

[frosty yew]

[wispy tundra]

james bond game is genuinely peak

[blissful pagoda]

Deadass disco

[runic yarrow]

[runic yarrow]

Who's the VA for bond ?

The voice is very important

[fossil patrol]

hell yeah

[wispy tundra]

Patrick Gibson is the voice and face

i really like him

[runic yarrow]

What's the Irish actor?

He's my favorite bond

[wispy tundra]

brosnan

[runic yarrow]

But he's old now

[wispy tundra]

i really like patrick gibson's take on it since they went for the young james bond angle on the game

[frosty yew]

isnt that the young dexter

[wispy tundra]

yep

[frosty yew]

[runic yarrow]

Dektr

[wispy tundra]

i could gush about this game for hours

it has so much love put into it

[frosty yew]

no youre thinking of dektr house

[runic yarrow]

70 too steep for one game rn , it's on my wishlist tho

[wispy tundra]

they have 2 more games coming too which im so excited for

since they signed on to make a trilogy

[empty estuary]

Yup

Still pissed they cancelled season 2 of that

It was so good

[cold musk]

love watching auto drive turn my race car into a drift car how badly it handles it

[clever fiber]

escape will make me gosh

[cold musk]

thry need to fix it auto drive

[wispy tundra]

they nailed the dialogue too

[cold musk]

no one is driving in a car that does 60kmh

[empty estuary]

Auto drive is meant for like

Disabled people

Forza really prides itself on its accessibility

Not meant to be a strong tool, but to give less able bodied people a fighting chance

[cold musk]

wel note dont drive anything over c class with it

[empty estuary]

I dont need to

Im able bodied

[clever fiber]

i drive cars myself

[cold musk]

its fun to see it see a corner n just jackass it up off a hill

[clever fiber]

i press down on the trigger and push the joystick to the left and right, and sometimes i press down on the other trigger

[cold musk]

with me bc i hv autisim n eye twitches my eyes twitch like crazy with i focus to much or something

[clever fiber]

oh ☹️

[empty estuary]

I did a rally build for my volkswagen beetle

POG!!

[runic yarrow]

We got the end of humanity before GTA 6

[bright crown]

HAI JUNIE

THIS GAME IS SO FUN

IM JUST SO BAD AT IT

[cedar pumice]

This ain't even the fourth end of humanity before GTA 6

[runic yarrow]

Given how mistreated the science community is , even if some world ending disaster were upon us ion think any scientist would tell us

Although I do hate how space focused science is

We need to focus on the ocean

[empty estuary]

Nothing ever happens

https://tenor.com/view/chud-chudjak-shush-quiet-be-quiet-gif-6099369941990730874

[red slate]

space research is incredibly underfunded compared to other sciences

so that's a bit of a stretch

does get a lot of attention though because who wants to talk about rocks for example

[empty estuary]

We had two sticks and a rock for the entire platoon

And we had to share the rock!

[blissful pagoda]

https://tenor.com/view/sgtjohnson-gif-16244788683023069974

[runic yarrow]

Ion give af about the moon , about mars , about how we might actually be inside a black hole .

I wanna learn if Cthulhu is still alive in the big deep ocean

[empty estuary]

sleep token

[runic yarrow]

It's like a map in a game , instead of exploring the starter map section with alot of good loot we keep trying to explore the over leveled area that's under construction

[empty estuary]

Hes geeked

[bright crown]

GOOBER

HE CONSUME

[cold musk]

did not think ppl would still be invading in blooborne..

[weary silo]

Whynotboth.jpg

First time ive seen somebody say the space is boring

[empty estuary]

first playthrough done

[lone thunder]

spending so much time focusing on exploring instead of fixing what we're already destroying

[sleek kraken]

This is genuinely the worst challenge I've done in this fucking game

[red slate]

well you cant expect an astrophysicist to instead be an oceanographer or an ecologist

[round fable]

why would we stay in perimeter when cryo archive is out there

[zenith blaze]

this looks like a fake screen

[pseudo sparrow]

I finally got my Genji golden gun

It only took 8 years

[hidden pulsar]

I wasn’t aware Genji used a gun

[pseudo sparrow]

He was tired of diving

Whipped out the blick instead

[wanton wasp]

Marathon's newest shell has an anti grenade turret and a slowing mine

Literally anti meta the shell

[balmy mason]

Tbf it could also be used to counteract UESC

And we don't know how fast those zombies gonna be

[wanton wasp]

I'd be using that shit offensively ngl, throw it so they can't see it but it can see nades being thrown

[round fable]

and there's a new machine pistol that they specifically said is for countering shotguns

[wanton wasp]

Machine pistol

Aw

I thought it was gonna be a hc

That feels good and not the magnum

[round fable]

it's crazy how the worst gun in a bungie game of all things is the hc

that's like

sort of their thing

[wanton wasp]

Ik right

[round fable]

but yeah shaking up the meta is apparently a focus in seasonal refreshes

[wanton wasp]

Like what

[round fable]

which is great

[wanton wasp]

Good

The shotty meta is getting old

But

Tbf

[round fable]

i don't mind the current meta much but changes are good

[wanton wasp]

The end game maps are cqc

[round fable]

yeah

[wanton wasp]

So naturally shotguns

[round fable]

also they said they're changing the drop rates of guns so the ones we are used to being common will be rarer now

and they showed a wstr while saying that

so misriah might be the main shotgun in s2

[wanton wasp]

Seems so

I'm fine with the misriah meta

It's a little stronger than th wstr

[round fable]

the people on reddit who claim to have been playing for 500 hours without seeing a misriah must be so happy about this

[wanton wasp]

I've played for 200 and I've gotten like 20 over my time

[round fable]

i think those guys have spent all their time in perimeter or something

[wanton wasp]

Yeah like you find them in key rooms a lot

That and outpost boxes

The big ones in drone wing

[round fable]

also the darkness in night marsh being an actual mechanic with various tools to work around it is great

[wanton wasp]

It has super cool stuff

Sights that reveal what's infront of you

And like pinging stuff I think

Zombies too

[balmy mason]

https://tenor.com/view/bravo-six-going-dark-cod-sergeant-mw-modern-warfare-gif-14985183

[wanton wasp]

Literally

[round fable]

me when i think a runner is coming for me but it's actually just the possessed zombie vandal corpse:

[wanton wasp]

I so hope the zombies are players we kill

[balmy mason]

They said they are experimenting a PvEvP-lite mode at the beginning of the season

[cedar lark]

perhaps am gonna try the game on the free week
but 40 euros is still a lot

[balmy mason]

Wait for sales or buy from retailers

[cedar lark]

yea
maybe that
but gonna try the game 1st
then I'll see if its worth my time and moners

[runic yarrow]

Now buy his mythic for golden mythic

I'm awake

[signal wren]

@runic yarrow @blissful pagoda @mental brook I present me getting my shit kicked in by 2 roided up hellbrutes on the normal stratageam. I think my teammates even felt bad for me and I also had the gene seed on me.

[runic yarrow]

I'm very new to the game but I noticed why it happened

[pseudo sparrow]

I alr have both his mythics lol

[runic yarrow]

You rolled too early then rolled back in too close on the final one

[pseudo sparrow]

The new mythic looks so good with Oni, but golden gun on it looks so good with demon, I don't have demon 😔

[signal wren]

Not really. I was stunlocked. I couldn't move at all

Their ranged shots also somehow pulled me towards them when i should have just been knocked backwards

[runic yarrow]

They got stealth buffed

[signal wren]

Either way it would have been impossible to move

[signal wren]

Stratageam modifier for this week

[runic yarrow]

Yeah ivy told me all about it earlier

But ion think I understand it lol

I just know chaos whatever are annoying apparently and nobody fw them

[signal wren]

So in destiny terms imagine a nightfall strike with modifiers. That's a stratagaem in this game

[blissful pagoda]

[blissful pagoda]

:3

[proud venture]

Looking for d2 alternatives

[fossil patrol]

Pff

[proud venture]

Aka same shit as Warframe come onnnnn

That feeling of getting a god roll in d2 and equipping it and immediately noticing a difference. Why is it so hard to replicate in other games??

[weary steppe]

i mean you probably shouldn't be getting opinion advice from Complex Autocorrect

it might not be as much of an issue to you if you played it as this makes it out to be

[proud venture]

Dude it's a huge issue to me in Warframe tho. I spend DAYS getting a new frame or weapon just for them to feel like shit until I mod them properly like wth. I just don't feel rewarded

[dusky needle]

https://tenor.com/view/bad-movies-rule-bmr-spounge-bob-spoungebob-zero-days-without-nonsense-gif-16139550121359005297

[runic yarrow]

Ngl respectfully , I'm tired of seeing you complaining in here . Go play a game and see if you like it .

[signal wren]

Destiny isn't going anywhere but if you really want something to play then TRY other games. Looking up everything isn't going to give you the same feeling

It doesn't have to replace destiny but there are plenty of games out that can scratch that loot itch

But again you won't know until you try

[proud venture]

Its a matter of returning to them at this point. Plus sometimes people don't realize how good something truly was until it's gone aka D2

[fossil patrol]

Right

Of course.

[dusky needle]

im getting a distinctly BlackDavid vibe from this convo

[signal wren]

I'm just gonna do something else and come back later

[balmy mason]

I mean, I guess you can try SAO: Fatal Bullet

[weary steppe]

ooh throwback

[balmy mason]

When something strong drop you can truly feel stronger

[devout nest]

im waiting for echoes of aincrad lowk

im buying it day 1

and playing until i finish perma death mode

i wont even try normal mode

[balmy mason]

I have no idea what that is

[devout nest]

new sao game

is dropping

[balmy mason]

I'm not into SAO

[devout nest]

next year

or this year

[balmy mason]

Fatal Bullet is the only one I play

[devout nest]

itw ill be single player game

open world

without kirito or other mcs from game

and there will be perma death mode

where once you die you start all over

where's thrill of the fight without perma death

[proud venture]

Like I tried to go back to Warframe and people on the discord told me I had to read Lore to understand what's going on in the story.

Why do I have to do extra work to understand what's going on??? Just do a better job telling your story. It makes Lightfall look good lol.

[balmy mason]

Perfectly harkens back to I didn't realize just how good D2 was and now it's gone.

[blissful pagoda]

people are genuinely fighting each other because you can't use heroic weapon skins in pvp

[hoary star]

Oh shit

That legit looks amazing

Looks like it’s not a demonic weapon as far as I can tell too

[balmy mason]

It is one

[hoary star]

Oh it is

Well
We could use more ig

[blissful pagoda]

that's witchfire?

[balmy mason]

They are also adding gardening

[blissful pagoda]

[hoary star]

Correct

[hoary star]

Amazing

[balmy mason]

They also revealed the witch

[hoary star]

Tbh
I want to be surprised
I’m still not even at irongate castle

Velmorne is kicking my ass

I’m hoping for more unique guns like the koschei ngl

[balmy mason]

I've never touched it tbh

I'm fine with my Cricket

[hoary star]

I just got the cricket recently actually

But koschei just looks so damn fun

[blissful pagoda]

you mean to tell me prior to this, the witchfire had no witch it was just fire?

[balmy mason]

The witch is always there

[hoary star]

I might try making a build using that and either tribunal, fatum, judgment, or duelist

[balmy mason]

They just revealed how she looks a week ago

[hoary star]

I mean
She’s been fucking with us pretty directly and sending her armies after us

We just haven’t directly encountered her face to face

[balmy mason]

"Armies"

[hoary star]

I’d say it counts

[balmy mason]

You gotta get to Witch Mountain

Real fun stuff at the end

[hoary star]

She’s got a lot of minions and shit she’s sending after us

Oh dear

Also I’ve been loving nemesis + duelist lately

Not a huge fan of the snipers tho

[balmy mason]

Eh, they have their use case

[hoary star]

Yeah they’re not weak
I’m just not much of a sniper player in general

[blissful pagoda]

ykno when you said witchfire, given your style, i wasnt expecting witchfire to be a first person game

[hoary star]

She casts calamity spells on us if we fuck up too badly

It has roguelike elements

Singleplayer Soul-lite extraction-lite shooter with roguelite elements

Also the entire team making it is like

Plus 3 supporters I think

And even then it still puts some big studios to shame

Rule 1, please

[weary silo]

you will like the new prototype gear system they put in i guess

[weary silo]

i dunno, seems like actual mw 4

the old one was cod4: mw

[proud venture]

hmm gotta look into that

[lavish forge]

Literally says “modern warfare 4”

[hollow grotto]

First release since Infinite Warfare to exclude old gen.

[runic yarrow]

PS5 gonna be old gen next year

Cuz Sony

[empty estuary]

This isnt even true

But what else can we expect from ai slop

[empty estuary]

Because skill expression comes from modding

[runic yarrow]

Brought to you by ai Gemini

[empty estuary]

In d2, skill expression comes from damage rotations

[weary silo]

i'm shocked gemini is that biased tbh

[runic yarrow]

Gemini is ass

[weary silo]

never really used AI too seriously

[runic yarrow]

It just tells you false info

[weary silo]

but then again my workplace has gemini pro

[balmy mason]

Not always

[empty estuary]

Destiny has always lacked depth in its buildcrafting

Thats where warframe and div step up

[weary silo]

yeah destiny builds are pretty simple

[round fable]

the gemini in search is like the cheap shitty one

[empty estuary]

But they also lack that skill expression in gameplay that destiny has

Its just two different takes on a genre

[weary silo]

also a bit ironic somebody named HotShot is dissing div2 haha

[floral summit]

depth in buildcrafting
warframe

sure man

[blissful pagoda]

uh

[empty estuary]

We are not larping warframe builds 🥀

[floral summit]

look man i have 800 hours in warframe and it is not that deep

[runic yarrow]

If you put the cards together in a certain order you get a build

[empty estuary]

Several times deeper than destinys buildcrafting lmao

[proud venture]

im not talking about build crafting tho im just talking about getting a piece of loot and equipping it and bam you immediately notice the difference. like a gun in D2 with voltshot on it vs one without you feel instantly rewarded for your effort. in WF you just grinded to get that new frame and you don't feel rewarded cuz u have to mod it and oh no you dont have the right mods now thats even more farming to be done.

[floral summit]

warframes buildcrafting is a badly cut together puzzle built from shallow systems that get made, barely improved upon, and then left to rot

[round fable]

theres like

a lot of stuff

[blissful pagoda]

we cannot be fighting over this 🥀

[balmy mason]

[runic yarrow]

I'm sick of D2 talk in my off topic channel

[floral summit]

there are two kinds of weapon builds: give them 50 billion diseases, and dome them with infinite crit damage

[empty estuary]

Because the guns in warframe actually have way more identity than d2 because warframe doesnt have a rarity and perk system

Again, youre complaining that a game is just doing a different take

[floral summit]

warframe's buildcrafting is fun! i didnt say it was bad! but its not deep lol

[proud venture]

hmm if thats not true then ill go ask the Div 2 community. so far playing div 2 i dont like the bullet sponges but i dont have a proper build setup yet so that might be on me

[empty estuary]

Insanely reductive

[round fable]

the depth is in how you achieve that

[weary silo]

if you have a proper build they cease to be bullet sponges

[runic yarrow]

That's definitely on you

[floral summit]

am i wrong? there's no real reason to do hybrid builds like ever

[empty estuary]

Also wrong

[runic yarrow]

Wth is a hybrid build

[empty estuary]

Crit + status

[runic yarrow]

Oh

I just have viral effect and call it a day

[blissful pagoda]

Electric + gasoline

[runic yarrow]

How does this effect the trout population ?

[weary silo]

hybrid synergy drive! buy toyota now!

[empty estuary]

You just need a cohesive build to be functional

The idea that it needs to be fully optimized is just flat out wrong

[round fable]

why would you run gas/elec smh

[weary silo]

the simplest build is also the best lol. actually too much that it becomes a fault

[blissful pagoda]

D2 and D2

Fry is fighting a war on two fronts rn

[round fable]

its fun to make some convoluted bullshit

[lavish forge]

I’m not the biggest fan of warframe but like

[blissful pagoda]

https://gif.fxtwitter.com/tweet_video/HHFsAL-bkAAwvuJ.webp

[lavish forge]

The build crafting is kinda deep

And that’s coming from someone* with only 500hrs of playtime across two platforms

[empty estuary]

Learning to build has always been like the major pain point of the new player experience

[blissful pagoda]

And 50 75% off coupons

[round fable]

love a build that relies on sling strength and arcane arachne or some shit like that

[empty estuary]

Like just because youve learned to cookie cutter yourself into a corner doesnt mean it lacks depth

[lavish forge]

I’m glad you still remember that

I got another two days ago

Didn’t use it

[blissful pagoda]

do you even use any of it

[lavish forge]

Nope

[blissful pagoda]

Lame!

Tell me when you actually do

It’ll be news then

[lavish forge]

I have a lot of plat without even using the coupon

[round fable]

ultimately learning to build in warframe consists of throwing shit at the wall until the numbers cover your whole screen

[round fable]

i have way too many vault 1 and 2 keys

im gonna spend all my time till tuesday running vault 1 and 2 lmao

[proud venture]

tbh i dont get this??? for me the fact that i can have a gun in D2 that shoots micro missles or spawns threadlings, or that one exotic that weakens on every 16th bullet fired. the weapons in WF feel normal to me without mods sure you have things like Amprexx or Arc Plasmor but they are still not as cool as D2 exotics imo.

[empty estuary]

You just didnt take enough advantage of the games offerings

But atp, just keep playing destiny

Youre not going to find an alternative

[weary silo]

oh you want that kind of exoticness

then probably don't play div2. it's a more grounded game and won't have that kind of wackiness

[empty estuary]

Especially when youre actively seeking reasons to not play the other games in the genre

[blissful pagoda]

this is such a stupid back and forth

you want to play destiny 2

[empty estuary]

Its so silly

[blissful pagoda]

Without playing destiny 2

my brother in christ

Destiny 2 is RIGHT THERE

just fucken play that shit

[round fable]

bringing up the stupid lightfall lmg as an example of this is crazy

[empty estuary]

Genuinely so many guns in warframes like 800 gun roster that are so much more unique than DC

[blissful pagoda]

also borderlands is right there

[empty estuary]

Its not live service so its mid

[proud venture]

its ending support so why play it in 3 months from now??? im sure im not the only D2 refugee looking for alternatives right now

[blissful pagoda]

Oo fuck you right!

[empty estuary]

Youre not gonna find any

[blissful pagoda]

We’re gonna hold your hands and look into your eyes when we say this

Theres no alternative to d2

[empty estuary]

Especially when youre looking for a reason to drag down any other game

[blissful pagoda]

if you want something like d2

play d2

[zealous pelican]

There has never been anything like Destiny and there likely never will be

Nothing will replace it

[empty estuary]

ESPECIALLY when you use AI as the voice for those complaints lmao

im sad

[zealous pelican]

smh

But yeah, if you want an alternative but complain it’s not like Destiny then y’know whatever good luck out there

[balmy mason]

Check out Witchfire

It has those exotic level of guns you are seeking for

If you don't mind singleplayer game, that is

[blissful pagoda]

It’s single player?

[balmy mason]

Yes

[blissful pagoda]

ok i really gonn check it out

[blissful pagoda]

after payday hits

[blissful pagoda]

We need a SandyLook emote
(I mean me)

[proud venture]

depends on what you want from D2. like the loot chase and build variety aspects for ex A LOT of people say D4 is in a really good spot right now.

[weary silo]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLbst85USN8

[empty estuary]

If you complained about warframe, diablo 4 is not for you

Weapons will not feel immediately powerful/unique just because they have the effect you want

Its a stat minmaxing game just like div

[blissful pagoda]

||you should play nikke ||

[blissful pagoda]

I am kinda intrigued actually

Because its something cod hasnt done before, right?

North vs South Korea

[cold musk]

And they dropped old gen finally

[weary silo]

yep

interesting

[empty estuary]

A call of duty in a korean conflict actually sounds kinda neat

[weary silo]

also ghost vs price. ok

[blissful pagoda]

But

Description

it is not solely focused on that region

[round fable]

i'd love if it was a treyarch game

and they had north korean zombies

[balmy mason]

Homefront

[blissful pagoda]

Its gonna stretch to US, France and India, for some reason.

[empty estuary]

Knowing modern cod, this plot line is gonna be the crux of the campaign and everything else will suffer for it 😭

[blissful pagoda]

Yeah it’s the last shot of the teaser

sadly its also intriguing

Because i cannot stop thinking about that one Bricky video

[empty estuary]

Its a shame too because making a beloved character the villian is a potentially cool plot line

I just do not trust the writers

[weary silo]

if it's not Emil Pagliarulo then it has a chance

[blissful pagoda]

It is Price that’s the villain

[marble tide]

[blissful pagoda]

and theyre scared to fuck up Pr-

no wait

Mw2023

nvm

[blissful pagoda]

:3

[empty estuary]

Maybe if it reviews well ill pick it up on a sale if it runs well on the Switch 2

[blissful pagoda]

https://tenor.com/view/nikke-anis-tt-star-wave-hi-gif-16034316013287931539

If it’s on game pass

I’ll check it out

But i remember hearing that theyre not gonna put future cods on game pass anymore?

[empty estuary]

CoD not on gamepass at launch anymore so they could lower the price of the sub

[blissful pagoda]

Because unsurprisingly it fucking ate into their sales number?

sad! i wont be checking it out then

[proud venture]

items still have pretty insane aspects tho like changing elements or turning a single target skill into a AOE skill etc etc. equipping those are insane for your build. what makes D4 truly fun for me is hunting down the gear i need for other builds since i can just change my builds for free at any time.

[blissful pagoda]

ok then play it

[empty estuary]

The thing is, youre not getting that immediate power increase in the endgame, and youll spend most of your time hunting for very minor upgrades for very small improvements in the harder content

Theres also not a lot of viable builds for classes in diablo 4

[proud venture]

oooo hmmm

[empty estuary]

The games most unique and fun builds generally cant do t9, let alone t12

[proud venture]

i think most people stop at T10

[empty estuary]

Youre also grinding hours on end for xp for paragon points for very minor increases

[empty estuary]

Everyone is shooting for tier 12 because thats where the seasonal journey ends

[proud venture]

O

[empty estuary]

You are not getting immediate access to the tip of the spear of your power in diablo 4

So if thats a problem for you in warframe, its 10x worse in diablo

Especially when your progress gets wiped every 3 months

[proud venture]

Hmmm thx for pointing this out

[empty estuary]

For some perspective this season:
Youre grinding paragon 300 (which gets exponentially harder to level the further you go, most people dont reach it)
Youre grinding glyph levels (a MASSIVE power boost, but requires you to do high level pit runs, which is BEYOND torment 12, making it inaccessible for most builds), youre grinding gear with GAs and correct stats (uniques and mythic uniques are randomized now, making this brutally hard to accomplish), and gems (which most people cant even get the highest tier of gem because gem drops are exceedlingly sparse)

[blissful pagoda]

Underbarrel ballistic knife trickshots would go insane i cant even lie

Ok i gotta sleep

It’ll be Friday

And a different guy came in with a ‘broken’ flusher

Which ended up being their guys just dont know how to assemble

and he desperately wanted to return and exchange some other products and was fucking howling trying desperately to get the exchange done even though we already closed up shop

And when i finally convinced him to call his office they were totally cool with him coming back tomorrow

[noble tundra]

Wait they’re kind of cooking

[round fable]

the "treyarch's arcade gameplay sucks and infinity ward will give us a realistic milsim cod" people must be really mad right now

wait they brought dmz back? 😭

[noble tundra]

I’ve stopped caring about the campaigns but a knife sniper sounds hilarious

[noble tundra]

DMZ was kinda fun ngl

It wasn’t amazing but it wasn’t bad in mw2

[round fable]

idk i wasnt playing cod that year

[noble tundra]

It was just an ok extraction mode that you could grind weapon levels easily in

[round fable]

them making an extraction mode rn is so funny though

[noble tundra]

Plus you could unlock new weapons immediately without actually leveling for them if you extracted

[noble tundra]

Marathon killer 🙏

[weary silo]

the fc4 method interesting

[round fable]

mw4 dmz will force bungie to make d3

[noble tundra]

The only actual issue with DMZ is that it was lowkey pay to win 😭

they started adding paid cosmetics that gave good DMZ bonuses

[round fable]

😭

they should let treyarch make an extraction mode

with zombies

[vagrant summit]

How is the demilitarized zone p2w fr

[noble tundra]

That bo6 zombies campaign mission was lowkey fire

[round fable]

demilitarized zone
looks inside
"modern warfare"

[round fable]

that's because everything in cod is better when it's zombies

[noble tundra]

And they played 115 during it

Honestly best part of that campaign

[round fable]

they gotta split cod up into multiple games and have treyarch just make a live service zombies game

or just multiple normal zombies games

[fossil patrol]

Watched a video on whenever animals we rescue (like from traps etc) know a human is rescuing them, its a pretty interesting study

[blissful pagoda]

Ykno what

They made a DMZ mode for the korea v korea cod

its funny enough

[random yarrow]

Has anyone else here been trying out The Division 2? I was gonna hop on before work and play a bit.

[blissful pagoda]

@empty estuary @weary silo

[weary silo]

i have 500h and it's a good looter shooter if you want to spend time in it

[blissful pagoda]

[round fable]

yeah that's probably the most famous dmz in the world

[blissful pagoda]

Oh wow i got 331 hours on div2

[random yarrow]

Yeah, I was a huge supporter on launch. I just got caught up on all story missions and im at end game now, looking for people to play with.

[balmy mason]

Woob why don't you try Div1

[blissful pagoda]

Because number games are probably not really my thing

[random yarrow]

I made a clan called EyesUpGuardian if anyone ends up trying it out, just apply, recruitment is open.

[blissful pagoda]

Idunnk

[balmy mason]

But... Div2 is also a number game

[blissful pagoda]

Yeah

And i felt all 330 hours

SM2 did not feel like 300hours

I think it was the ‘i need something like d2’ itch

compelling me

I dont have that strong of an itch anymore

[empty estuary]

Surely this game wont lead to any political events like the last time

[bright crown]

Its 100% true

Its charlie intel

Mw4 is gonna be the first cod in years I actually just skip

[empty estuary]

I wish mw2 dmz had more consequences, otherwise i enjoyed it

[bright crown]

Dmz might be fun cause I like dmz in mw2022 but yeah

Imo its not worth a 70$ purchase

[blissful pagoda]

whar

This is the first cod im interested in buying lol

[bright crown]

Yeah i know lol

Surprising coming from me

Im just not interested

[blissful pagoda]

Its so joever

Activision stocks will fall

billions of market cap will be flushed

[bright crown]

Cursed by 1 gal lmao

[blissful pagoda]

That sucks

[bright crown]

I think its just cause im not interested in another mp thats gonna probably play like mw2022

And the campaign im not interested in cause mw3's was so bad

[runic yarrow]

Go play Outriders

[bright crown]

AND mw2 was alright

[runic yarrow]

Goofy ahh

[blissful pagoda]

damn!

[bright crown]

I'll stick to bo7 for another year

Enjoying my zombies

[blissful pagoda]

Oh well

[bright crown]

I will watch and see

[blissful pagoda]

What happens if bo8 looks like shit next year

Will u be buying mw4 then?

[bright crown]

LOL

[proud venture]

no but i do own it but never played it. it does look like lots of fun tho I LOVED Trickster in the demo

[bright crown]

Honestly Idk cause im just fatigued by cod rn

[blissful pagoda]

Play sm2

[runic yarrow]

The bundle is always on sale for like 5 dollars

[bright crown]

Need to take a break like I did back during that era

With cod ww2 and bo4

Took a break from those years

Came back halfway through mw2019

[blissful pagoda]

[bright crown]

Allowed me to enjoy cod again

[blissful pagoda]

i won a giveaway at the tail end of 2019’s life cycle

so thats what got me into cod in the first place

bought mw2022

it was nice. I sunk 300-400 hours into it i think

[bright crown]

Main thing that got me roped back in with mw2019?

[blissful pagoda]

ah

Da anime

[bright crown]

I loved the anime bundles

Mw2019, cold war and mw2's anime bundles are the best

I love em

And mw3's

[blissful pagoda]

Mw3 the cluster fuck of collabs

Then it just gets more and more ridiculous
