It dumbs down the game so much
everything feels like stagger loop simulator, all my builds revolve around staggering bosses for 9999 damage because shit takes too little dmg when not staggered and too much when staggered

somehow it actually manages to feel more one dimensional than sekiro posture

Because she was most likely a repurposed sekiro boss

Several different aspects of her design point to being a repurposed Tomoe, most notably the prosthetic arm and some attacks

I never understood why people saw it as more fitting than Purification

Prequel is obviously the way to go. Tomoe and Takeru is a mirror of Sekiro and Kuro

[mystic bluff]

She's so dense <3

[fervent tapir]

I don’t mind the gameplay loop that much I just wished enemy stagger worked like our stagger and didn’t just go away for no reason right as you are about to stagger them

makes it really annoying to see an enemy about to stagger, then use a weak attack to push them over the limit, then watch their bar go down like half instantly

I do like it making you work for your damage versus just giving you a shit ton of damage outright and making the only barrier hitting your attacks

disappointed that weight doesn’t affect energy consumption though

fortnite battlepass skin tier list

[wispy loom]

this is automatically invalid as meowscules isn't top tier

[neon pine]

ain't no way you put the lizor in even worse

top tier skin

[limpid sequoia]

I did

I woulda put midas in even worse too

but I uploaded the tier list to twitter

and I didnt want to get killed by a hitman because I hated on midas

he gets carried by the golden gun perk, he's so lame

[neon pine]

you've angered a whole other part of twitter by putting lizor in even worse

yes

[limpid sequoia]

I don't mind

I can't believe Epic managed to clutch up and make Renzo the Destroyer after all skins after Chapter 2 S4 being ass

(except for crossovers)

[gritty summit]

is the list based on how edgy the skin is

[limpid sequoia]

nope

[onyx loom]

renzo the destroyer looks like he's advertising a flaming keyboard to me

[limpid sequoia]

he looks good tho

its a flaming skull, what can I say, always goes hard

what was epic thinking when making this abomination

I honestly deserve a refund on that seasons battlepass just for it having this skin

[onyx loom]

you bought it

[limpid sequoia]

my friend was using my acc back then cuz I quit playing fortnite after C2S2 being ass

I went back to playing in C3 or C4 I think

[limpid sequoia]

yeah, Chapter 3, when zero build released

all battlepasses after C3 were only bought because they gave vbucks

For $5 that is legit a steal.

[near sentinel]

Drift is S tier
valid tierlist

genuinely a really good character design

man I miss when fortnite was actually a solid game, artistically speaking

also you can kinda see this pattern to

all the bottom tier and more recent BP skins are bright and over-saturated messes of a design

[tidal raven]

The snakes in F tier

Opinion immedietly invalidated

[near sentinel]

I think the black astronaut dude from S9 deserves S-tier

I loved that guy

[tidal raven]

As someone said before
Meowsculs deserves to be higher up

[near sentinel]

also Peely
how are you not gonna put Peely as absolutel peek

it's just a walking banana it's so stupid and I adore it

I don't like these goofy skins

[warm maple]

[static dragon]

i honestly have no idea why people got mad at balteus

i fought him with the starting sword + the charging plasma rifle + generic missiles and his shield was perfectly reasonable

[wispy loom]

the fragile ego of toxic soulslike players got hurt

[static dragon]

i would maybe agree but idk how people struggle so much against him in the first place

it seems like a boss that is pretty simple no matter your build

[tidal raven]

Theres somethint humerous about seeing Dark Souls fans get gatekept

[static dragon]

i dont think anyone is getting really gatekept due to AC's mechanics armored core 6 is casualized as fuck

like it pretty much removes most of whats meant to be a barrier of entry in the controls and handling

[tidal raven]

Ive been getting the vibe
If your a souls player, and have a hard time with Armored Core
You just get mocked

[warm maple]

ngl you make that sound like a bad thing

[static dragon]

in some aspects its good in some aspects its bad

[proud wren]

same it wasn't too bad

[tidal raven]

(Fromsoft fans hate quality of life)

[warm maple]

I guess because some people like a complex game

[static dragon]

Making hard lock on extremely overpowered, dumbing down the turning system so every kind of ac can very quickly turn, and being able to change your gear at any point in the mission isnt quality of life
its just dumbing down the game and its unique appeal

[proud wren]

balteus just takes some time to learn and people don't like that ig

the only two attacks you have to learn and get used to is the missile barrages and the fire attacks

[static dragon]

slow turn rates and carefuly playing around it was a staple of AC and now every core can just quickly 180 no matter the build by just keeping lock on or slightly dragging the mouse
thats silly

[tidal raven]

Why Dark Souls fans of all people are complaining about a boss needing multiple attempts is beyond me

[static dragon]

on the other hand there are upsides
adding checkpoints means that the game can now have longer missions, and people who want to get the original feel alongside the longer missions can do a S rank playthrough

[warm maple]

Maybe someone will mod it in

[static dragon]

the only thing i really wanna see modded is rebalancing the stagger system

enemies take very little damage when not staggered, too much when staggered

[proud wren]

slow turn rates feel like shit and this is the first AC game for a lot of people so they wouldn't get it

[static dragon]

yeah but thats what confuses me

idk why people see it as such a wall that takes time to learn
like it seems something you can beat in 1-3 tries with almost any build when you reach it, to me

[tidal raven]

I feel like low sensitivity was a controller thing over a intended part of the game

[proud wren]

you beat balteus in 1-3 tries

ig you're just built different cause i spent an hour on him

[static dragon]

askdjsalkdjsajsa

thats the thing like
when i see hard boss even if i beat it fast, i can usually perfectly see how someone would end up taking long
i just cant figure out what makes people struggle with balteus

[proud wren]

the missiles are the first issue primarily

[static dragon]

maybe theres just too little games that make you dodge projectiles in an interesting way in a 3d space i guess

[proud wren]

and then once you hit second phase it's the fire attacks

[tidal raven]

Idk why youd want forced low sensitivity in a game that could be played with a KB&M

[static dragon]

its the feel of a mecha, like a working machine

[proud wren]

most people's first reactions to missiles are to run away but you actually wanna do the opposite for them

[static dragon]

Its not forced low sens, you literally cannot turn it faster no matter how hard you drag the mouse
And such a mechanic is not forced because you can build around it

[tidal raven]

Actually true
Most just have a quick dodge
And call it a day
I think AC has a dodge too

[proud wren]

no it's just that mech games have been dead for a long time

[tidal raven]

I remember seeing it in a old retrospective video in a few games atleast

[static dragon]

i think there should be more than just mech games that teaches such dodge
And once again, i dont think it applies to ac6

ac6 characters dont really feel as much as AC characters
they feel much closer to generic action game character

[tidal raven]

Okay
But your mechs can also looknlike gundams
With laser swords

[proud wren]

i haven't played too many games with a dodge like AC's

[static dragon]

yeah, you have both of these
In fact dont be mistaken, old armored core games could be much faster

[proud wren]

most dodges have i-frames, AC does not im pretty sure

[static dragon]

the speed and maneuver-ability you can reach in AC6 feels lower than something like AC4A where you can genuinely zoom

[tidal raven]

And they have a shield meter in this game iirc

[static dragon]

i think iframes and dark souls rolls have dealt irreparable damage to gaming

[proud wren]

yes they have

[tidal raven]

So hindering camera control for the sake of being realisitc would feel like a weird design choice imo

[static dragon]

like not only theres barely any action games about actually dodging shit

when theres a game that makes you actually have to dodge an attack and phase through it
people get clueless

maybe this could have been avoided if, 9 years ago, people decided to try rollling in another direction instead of immediatelly deciding dark souls 2 is a shit game

[static dragon]

well its not camera control

its your actual mech's legs and maybe arms

maybe you could look but not turn the rest of your body at the same time for example

and the result for things without fast turn speed isnt that it gives you an awkward low sens experience, like playing a shooter with the lowest sens setting

its more like you have to keep it in mind as you move and dodge

like if an enemy outplays you, they get behind you while you struggle to turn
if you outplay an enemy you get behind them while they are also turned away

i am started watching DSP and now i understand why people struggle with balteus

[proud wren]

whys that

[static dragon]

i said that mostly as a joke but dsp seems to literally just hover and tank all attacks lol

like he doesnt think vs the missiles or react to most of the stuff
he just hopes for high AP and mashing dodge to do the job

while holding bubble gun

[proud wren]

yea a lot of people just build a fucking battle tank and then stun everything while tanking

that is exactly what asmongold's build is as well

[obtuse copper]

attacked by 3 people is cool

after calling out some people day 2 immediately killed

called out a ww and coven werid wills

its ok though i cooked the next games by gaslighting people

lost hype on Dark and Darker after this

right when early access released it turns out they decided to make you pay for new classes, and even if they are backtracking from it they still are in the middle of a legal battle against Nexon

https://tenor.com/view/harvey-dent-die-a-hero-or-live-long-enough-to-see-yourself-become-the-villian-gif-21468252

Hopefully they get their act together. The game doesnt appeal to me personally, but the dedicated community seemed VERY attached when it first came around.

[analog crypt]

What

You have to pay for future classes?

[gritty summit]

3 weeks ago when it released they randomly announced you could pay to unlock future classes, or grind like 70+ hours if you don't wanted to pay for them

[analog crypt]

What the fuck

[gritty summit]

even when they said previously there wouldn't put any kind of mtx into the game

[analog crypt]

Is EA sponsoring them?

[gritty summit]

they already backtracked from this, but kind of shady

[analog crypt]

They probably doing it so they can help pay for lawsuit

[proud wren]

true it was kind of a bummer but you could still get them for free

[proud wren]

you don't have to, you basically have to grind for it

im not sure how bad the grind is tho cause i don't have the game yet

[gritty summit]

if you promise no mtx outside of cosmetics and still do it out of the blue, you are being scummy anyway

i don't see how you can defend this

[analog crypt]

Yea I love spending 3 days worth of time to get 1 class I might not like

[proud wren]

i can't

there isn't really a defense fo rit

[gritty summit]

but it's free! just grind for 70+ hours

[analog crypt]

Idc

[frosty yoke]

Testing the waters to see how the community would react.

[proud wren]

the lawsuit is probably the main reason for it

ironmace isn't a huge studio and they're going against nexon

[frosty yoke]

I feel like if thats the case though, wouldnt it be more beneficial to just be transparent about it though? Rather than risk losing a chunk of players / potential players.

[proud wren]

yeah idk

[frosty yoke]

I feel like given the community, if they asked for donos or help, they would probably get a fair amount of support, but Im no expert so idk.

[analog crypt]

Probably would have yea

Doing it this way, you risk burning the only people helping you. Like pulling the rug out from under yourself.

but what if their next game is actually good

Im okay with Bog standard Bethesda. Skyrim, Oblivion, Fallout 3, Fallout 4, Fallout New Vegas, all ones I still play. My biggest concern is how well its going to run. Thats the main thing.

[warm maple]

Do we even know what their next game is?

[warm maple]

Bethesda seem to know how to make an enjoyable RPG

Even though Father Toddington lied about 76 and other games

[wispy loom]

outer worlds 2

[warm maple]

It confirmed?

[wispy loom]

fallout 3 is probably the worst game they've ever put out. they also didn't make new vegas

[wispy loom]

90% sure I need to double check

[warm maple]

Fallout 3 is hella janky and really poor quality

At least Oblivion wasn't as bad

[wispy loom]

oblivion had writers

[warm maple]

Exactly

[wispy loom]

and the TES lore is actually good

[warm maple]

Exactly

[wispy loom]

also it is confirmed their next game is the outer worlds 2

I just hope TES 6 doesn't fucking suck

[wispy loom]

let's hope after the fumble that was "Spacer's choice" they learned

fucking execs thinking games are all products and business

just like movie execs before them, they see artists as tools and not humans

also my favourite game studio is shutting down

[civic quail]

Which one??

[wispy loom]

MiMiMi games, makers of Shadow Tactics, Desperados 3, and Shadow Gambit

they may have only known how to do one thing but they do that one thing right

[civic quail]

Ohhh yeah I remember em. Why are they shutting down??

[wispy loom]

they're tired

[frosty yoke]

True, but still published through Bethesda, though not in house, I get what you mean.

[civic quail]

Ah, well at least they're stopping while they're ahead

[wispy loom]

yep, what they've put out is really good

[civic quail]

I fuckin love Fallout 4 and NV, even if they were completely different visions

[frosty yoke]

For my preferences, yes. I enjoy just exploring the world, like skyrim. Spent way to many hours just building houses, modding and just walking around exploring.

[wispy loom]

something something far harbor something something 25 years and trees

[frosty yoke]

I never played the Fallout 4 Dlcs sadly. Wasnt one like a Nuka world or something like that?

[wispy loom]

the only good one is far harbor if that's what it's called, only good writing in the game

[frosty yoke]

Is that like the spooky one?

Looks pretty cool

[wispy loom]

I think somehow this one had writers unlike the rest

it's been said in interviews that Bethesda has no writers, everything is written by the quest designers

I think I have around 100 on fallout tho

[frosty yoke]

Modded skyrim is like this. https://youtu.be/5IZ2iQ1unso

[tidal raven]

I got Daggerfall to tank my computer using enough mods
It applies to all games tbh

[frosty yoke]

But seriously, it will definitely put your rig to work.

[tidal raven]

Although that was mostly during loading

[frosty yoke]

Fair point.

[tidal raven]

Poor HDD couldnt load all the combat and dungeon loot mods I used in a timely manner

[frosty yoke]

I wonder how Skyblivion is going to run when its done lol

[crisp hound]

No?

[civic quail]

Can either of you provide proof? 😭

[crisp hound]

Isn't elder scrolls 6 after starfield?

Then fallout 5

[civic quail]

Wait are we talking about Bethesda or Obsidian? 😭

Cause Outer Worlds was a Obsidian project

[fickle trellis]

ADHD conversation

[wispy loom]

https://www.obsidian.net/games/the-outer-worlds-2

[civic quail]

NAH I CHECKED THE MESSAGES back there and it suddenly shifted to talking about Outer Worlds 😭

[proud wren]

i thought that said outer wilds 2 for a second

outer wilds 2 would be a blessing 🙏

[civic quail]

I hope this game can be, in a narrative sense, more developed 😭

[fickle trellis]

They were talking about Bethesda titles and then threw in outer worlds

For whatever reason

[civic quail]

Exactly, so I was confused 💀

[fickle trellis]

I'm pretty sure one of my friends said outer wilds made them cry

I dont know the difference lol

[frosty yoke]

[fickle trellis]

I might have to drive 20 minutes to go buy an SSD 💀

There's a bunch of them available at a mall 20 minutes away from my school

Although I'd have to drive through a busy city at 4pm

Which wouldn't be fun

[frosty yoke]

Or Amazon it

[fickle trellis]

60 Canada dollars for the one im looking at

I have to get one of the brick ssds cuz I dont think I can put an nvme in my board

Just bought one

Shouldn't take too long to be delivered

[wispy loom]

i twould be kinda fire but also why

[civic quail]

LETS GOOOO

[tidal raven]

I can only imagine what Skygerfall is gonna do to a computer
If they dont take an alternative to just remaking the entire landscape

[frosty yoke]

lul

[fickle trellis]

I have to reinstall starfield now

Unless my download isn't finished

Once my SSD gets here

[digital hamlet]

Bro preordered a Todd howard game for $70

[fickle trellis]

What about it

Mfs be spending $100 on CALL OF DUTY

I'd rather buy starfield than fucking cod mw 3 🤣

[wispy loom]

"did he just walk up slow... and buckler parry?"

[warm maple]

It'd be funny

[edgy tide]

in fairness its parrying dagger instead of buckler

similarish but not the same in the end

[wispy loom]

oh that is impressive

I didn't see the dagger

[atomic spear]

i don't get the latron prime incarnon hype

using it now and i'm unimpressed

you can't control the bounces

[fickle trellis]

F tier trickshot 🤣

Me running out of mousepad space multiple times

[crisp hound]

The gun armor strips enemies

On puncture proc

[warm maple]

It was fun the first few times but whenever it bounced and stunned me was really annoying so using it in tight spaces is a weird one because it would benefit from that but it screws you up as well

Armour strip is good and all but being stun locked because you spam fired into a small corridor makes it really frustrating

Lex Incarnon is worth the hype because it just kills

[flint anvil]

Just made this.

now what about occucor, that one would seem pretty cool with its multi-beam, and its got the augment on nightwave rn

[median yew]

I kind of need something to go with her fourth

I can't get occucor out of the forge

No eidolon shards

[balmy mason]

[oblique radish]

aside from the akarius that you mentioned earlier the pyrana auto shotgun seems like a good pick for her

wth, with pyrana prime, if you kill a set number of enemies in a time frame you get an ethereal pyrana prime copy for a couple of seconds increasing ammo capacity and increasing fire rate

[atomic spear]

Maybe. I like pyrana during my second start

Keeping an eye out for the prime

[oblique radish]

its literally a three piece set for it too, just barrel, reciever, and blueprint

reciever is silver
barrel is bronze
and blueprint is gold

god dang thats an easy steal for me

[atomic spear]

With halloween coming up, i should be able to get my hands on basmu at last

Last Shedu part has been evading me for a while

[proud wren]

basmu is a goated weapon

[atomic spear]

Zephyr haw been so much fun im circuit

Cinta is perfect on her

[flint anvil]

Update (Added the most obnoxious tune I could find)

[ripe leaf]

difficulty: fast bubble

[atomic spear]

finally got kreska

it's not a scythe

despite being a damn ice pick it's not a hand scythe

it's a damn machete

what is with this game

antime you get a weapon it's not the type you thught it would be

[vestal stirrup]

cuz its 1 handed not 2 handed

[atomic spear]

no twin version either

[obtuse copper]

thank god i didnt bother going down

this man has purple armor set and legendary ring of courage with good rolls from bard

and i know that their group wipe most people from the start

thank god i decided to leave

also funny moment

[small glacier]

So I try to go to bed around 11:00 PM

And I reached a boss in Xenoblade 3 at 10:55, decided “I’ll beat this boss and go to bed”

11:25, deplete the HP bar

Phase 2 starts

Xenoblade classic

I really feel like they could cut the boss HP bars in half and nothing would be lost from the gameplay

[median yew]

Is there no auto save within that entire fight? Not too educated on Xenoblade

[royal warren]

i remember my friend played xenoblade 2 "as a joke" and used the weird like cheatcode DLC to turn ALLLLLLL the sliders down to minimum

[frosty yoke]

Pretty much how I felt with every Fromsoft Phase 2. Or worse, Phase 3.

[proud wren]

phase 3 bosses go wild

[royal warren]

shmups as a kid trained me to wait for 3 but its died out over the years

i'm waiting for a phase 4 thats when shit really gets wild

[small glacier]

Well if you die in phase 2 it brings you back to phase 2, so kinda

I just put my Switch to sleep and called it good enough

[frosty yoke]

Maybe the Elden Ring DLC will have a Phase 4

on another note, I think Armored Core 6 has an only okay soundtrack

It's always in the background

I've enjoyed what I've played so far. But Starfield is out in 10 hours. I'll still play Ac though obviously

[small glacier]

Nintendo's spare monkey's paw is at it again

The new 2D Mario game has online multiplayer with anyone rather than just friends, but in return they removed player collision and the ability to pick eachother up to prevent trolling - not just online with strangers, but also online with friends, and offline in local co-op. No trolling, this is a zero trolling zone

Genuinely killed all the interest I had in the game, 2D Mario is only fun for trolling friends

[wispy loom]

nintendo when they have to adapt to modern standards (settings menus don't exist)

[tidal raven]

Idk
Wonder looks like a neat singleplayer game

[frosty yoke]

I honestly expect it to be lukewarm.

Halls of Torment Update.

https://youtu.be/CvbK1fsc-yk

Barely watched the intro cause he started going into story.

[wispy loom]

this implies bethesda writes worthwile stories

[frosty yoke]

Now lets just hope it runs well on PC.

[gritty summit]

"Starfield Leak Reveals 45-60FPS At 1440p High Graphics on RTX 2080 Ti"

[frosty yoke]

[gritty summit]

hopefully FSR3 gets implemented into the game

[frosty yoke]

The reviews give me hope.

[wispy loom]

FSR3?

[frosty yoke]

I think its a AMD Upscaling thing.

[steady spoke]

Amd's answer to dlss 3

[static dragon]

im genuinely expecting like a 6/10 user score

[steady spoke]

Works on all cards so that's a plus

[static dragon]

According to the not-entirely-but-decently-trustable leaks, the enviroments of the planets are an absolute joke

[half zinc]

Won't be surprised

[static dragon]

and the shooting is genuine dogshit for anything that is like a generic gun
it seems huge explosions or anything of the sort to nuke enemies is the way to go, because else it will be mentally painful

https://i.4cdn.org/v/1693170318185934.webm

[static dragon]

lmao yeah the optimization doesnt exist
i have a 4070 with 1080p expecting it to be overkill for any game ever, and then heres starfield with it running at 70fps tops

[frosty yoke]

Well with them saying 30-60 fps on console, I didnt expect higher honestly. That said, I imagine modders will make quick work of it.

[limpid sequoia]

wew

my only thoughts on the game are... that i really got tired of that bethesda engine plasticky look

although some set scenes do really look gorgeous

[spare oak]

It’s a Bethesda game, complete with reused animations

[frosty yoke]

Signature Jank

I hope we get some Space Horse Armor.

[static dragon]

consoles are a lot weaker than recent-ish gpus though
A 2070 super or so matches them outside of the most well optimized games, something like a 3060ti can crush if you could get both at equal settings

[limpid sequoia]

the game is just locked at 30 fps on console right?

[frosty yoke]

True, but I guess what Im going for is it seems like that was the target fps. They didnt seem like they were aiming for 100+

[limpid sequoia]

i think it should at least have the option most games nowadays have: a "performance" mode and a "high fidelity" one

[static dragon]

Not aiming for 100 is plain garbage, in this sense

[frosty yoke]

I think its 60 iirc. 30 for 4k. Idk

[static dragon]

if you have a 3070 or higher, then being unable to get 100-140fps on 1080p high-ish (not max) settings is absolute 💀
Let alone starfield which has been seen getting 60~ on a 4070 maxed

[limpid sequoia]

oop just 30

[frosty yoke]

Rip consoles

[static dragon]

even moreso when you consider people that dont have such machines
which is.. a very large group of people, because the prices suck

[frosty yoke]

Either or. If its fun, thats all that matters.

[static dragon]

i agree of course, but i think this is just multiplicative cringe when i look at the rest of the game

[digital hamlet]

Everyone who preordered it is… so unbelievably gullible

[static dragon]

first theres the most fake open world and planets ever
theres some videos of really poor shooting, characters and dialogue
a few important critics giving 7 which is already a pretty bad sign given the marketing budget, this usually ends up meaning 4-6 user scores
spaceships being mostly fake
no ground vehicles

and then you add the fact the game runs like dog

[digital hamlet]

“It just works”

[wispy loom]

did anyone expect anything else

[digital hamlet]

Plus it just looks like a no man’s sky clone

[static dragon]

i didnt pay attention to starfield before but i expected the worlds to be simply a bit bland. maybe pure procedural gen but at least static for all players
not a procedural gen that has like zero permanence

[limpid sequoia]

i differ, it doesnt look like its trying to be no mans sky
it happens to feature similar concepts but ehh

very different executions and goals

but definitely makes me feel they should have not tried to dive into that ground

because they had it all to lose unless they really really focused on that aspect of exploration, which in the end isnt the core of the game

[spare oak]

https://youtu.be/CvIgGyVUHWI?si=qNRnxmrbgSe9zAut

Ah yes, the guy I was looking for.

[drifting kernel]

Im the opposite, I hate trolling in platformers lmao

The moment you grab me you are becoming fucking mincemeat

[near sentinel]

I love that stuff

Good memories of little big planet

Grabbing people and slapping them around was peak

[warm maple]

Question is… is Starfeild good?

[near sentinel]

Though this does speak to nintendos approach to alot of how they let their players interact in online games

They leave nothing to chance kek

No way for the 1% of bad actors to do some “epic trolling”

You can’t taunt when playing SSBU online

[limpid sequoia]

yeeeaaah! that was the stuff

[near sentinel]

And then they added the -inators in LBP2 and that’s where the real trolling started

[static dragon]

it seems to have very few green flags

[small glacier]

Yeah I guess, but like

To me a platformer needs to be either challenging to be fun, or utter nonsense.

The former’s achieved by the likes of Ori and Hollow Knight better than Mario ever will, Mario’s targeted at children and hard Mario levels are usually limited to a secret bonus level after 100%ing the game.

The latter is caused by multiplayer shenanigans, and said shenanigans were the only reason I’ve played any 2D Mario since I was a kid

At least Mario Maker 2 isn’t going away, just wish its online play with friends supported more modes

[static dragon]

youre making a nonsensical comparison

[small glacier]

Me?

[static dragon]

mario is not an action-adventure platformer, its pure unfiltered arcadey

And with that, some of the toughest mario content is harder than something like hk and ori platforming afaik

[small glacier]

My comparison I’m making is that what I’m looking for in a 2D platformer cannot be found in the new Mario game

Which is noteworthy because previous Mario games did offer what I wanted

[tidal raven]

Like?

[static dragon]

i see

I think you should just play more metroid-likes then, which ones have you played other than hk and ori?

[tidal raven]

In the reply you gave me the conclusion you just like action platformers

[small glacier]

Just them and a few hours of Rain World (with a friend to add nonsense to the mix, best of both worlds). And I will look into more of those, I’m just mourning the loss of the one thing I loved about 2D Mario being gone

[static dragon]

i played environmental station alpha recently
the only turnoff was the feel of the visuals at first, but i quickly got used to them and the atmosphere turned out very very safisfying

[tidal raven]

I enjoyed New and Newer soup
So Im sure id enjoy Wonder, if I got it
I like the nonsense in the sense of visuals and altering of mechanics with wonder flowers

[small glacier]

I guess not truly gone, the other Mario games haven’t disappeared (typo). But this is the first one with online multiplayer

Of the mainline 2D series

So it’s sad that this happened in the same game to ditch the mechanic that makes the games fun for me

[limpid sequoia]

what was it?

[small glacier]

Collision detection between players, and the ability to carry and throw eachother

Many memories of throwing my friends into lava, and being thrown into lava

[limpid sequoia]

ah... yeah :,)

[small glacier]

No longer possible in the first 2D Mario with online multiplayer

[limpid sequoia]

no evilness allowed, everyone behave!!!

😇

[small glacier]

1984

[tidal raven]

No way they made Multiplayer actually playable

Even I will miss grabbing others tho

I was always annoyed by colliding with others, especially in time based sections thatd crush you

Which nintendo loved doing in castles

I was the one person whod use grabbing to guide people throigh levels if they were being very slow

[balmy mason]

bouta pull up wearin the fuckin

[neon pine]

why are they like that

[proud wren]

clearly for the keebler cookie elf

[gritty summit]

nuh uh

[balmy mason]

for funerals

[proud wren]

oh

rip keebler elf

[small glacier]

That’s another thing

The grabbing and colliding was genuinely most of the fun for me in 2D Mario, because it was funny. It made memorable moments with my friends.

Granted I thought Pokémon Scarlet was better for the rare instance a drastic bug happened because it was hilarious and made it memorable, and we all know how the internet at large views that game, so maybe I just have unusual tastes

honestly a game that is worth buying fullprice is so rare

even tho ac6 has new content for 2 ng+ cycles (iirc), buying it for 60 bucks, would probably still make it feel a bit not fully worth. cuz like not everyones gonna check out all that extra content and its prob gonna become a bit boring. but idk

"the player has so much freedom in how they approach the game"

the previous armored core games that had far more parts and part categories

[vestal stirrup]

its an exception honestly, but indie games are like pretty often worth their price, they cant really make their games expensive nor do they need to make the game overstay its welcome because of the price

[atomic spear]

i really don't want a dmc remake

[spare oak]

there aren't enough parts to do building for lets say... energy defense. You want a middle weight biped to go up against some mission with energy firing enemies?? Sorry that's not in this game

the building in this game is far less demanding
(unless you're balteus)

[atomic spear]

they are probably saving them for an expansion

Also, as Art Chat was on the note of game OST's earlier, I forgot how incredible Hotline Miami 2's was

[vestal stirrup]

payday games osts as well

[civic quail]

Hard agree

[vestal stirrup]

literally the hype for payday 3 has been real

[median yew]

Carpenter Brut made perfection in Hotline Miami

[median yew]

I'm honestly excited, I was super skeptical at first but I'm willing to see where they go with it

[vestal stirrup]

same, the mtx still might be a bit shit but like it seems really really solid

[civic quail]

The Way Home, Untitled, She Swallowed Burning Coals, Remorse, Le Perv, Sexualizer, all are fucking awesome

[median yew]

Le perv is a chefs kiss

Roller mobster too oml

[vestal stirrup]

brut's newer stuff is insanely good as well

[civic quail]

I'm honestly gonna remain skeptical... mainly because I'm not a massive Payday fan, so I don't have much to lose from disappointment here 😭

[median yew]

I'm a passionate payday fan

[civic quail]

Exactly, and even his non HM older stuff is good, like Turbo Killer

[median yew]

Like I put years into that game

[vestal stirrup]

payday 2 going free for a while in like 2017 was the best thing ever for the game

[median yew]

The only unfortunate part was that I grinded the hell out of the console payday, the one that was given up on essentially

[civic quail]

I'd say it's just not hugely for me. I could give it another try, but it wasn't really my thing

[median yew]

I've noticed a pattern of me finding much more enjoyment in video games when they weren't competitive pvp shooters

[vestal stirrup]

pvp games in general have just been on a decline imo

[median yew]

Heavily for quite a while

Live service games are bleh tbh

[civic quail]

I would say you're mostly right. Not absolutely, but it's a generally applicable trend to mose of the comp scene

[median yew]

My Hotline Miami hyperfixation is neverending

[civic quail]

Some are exceptions, but 90% of the time yeah. Live service is made for those with incredible amounts of time to burn, ie preteens and teenagers 😭

Also young adults if they make a career out of it

[median yew]

Which I'm definitely apart of that audience but most of the games aren't worth my time tbh

I've been getting addicted on shoot em ups and etc

[civic quail]

Oh definitely. The only reason I ever played games, like Fortnite, was because I had an incredible time with friends. However, that wasn't shit I was gonna play alone often 💀

[median yew]

EXACTLY

[vestal stirrup]

i mean like pvp games are just so sweaty now the only times i play pvp games is like if its w friends or just super casual like tf2, but even tf2 has become actual cancer now since u find cheaters in every damn lobby and nobody cares

[median yew]

I prefer playing co-op games when it's pve

[median yew]

That's the issue, it just doesn't leave room for new people

[civic quail]

Yeah, most games have their fair share of issues in sweats and cheaters, that often alienates new or returning players. Or the game itself is just outright horrible

cough cough Valorant

[median yew]

Oh god valorant.

[vestal stirrup]

pve games can do difficulty so well where its like right on the limit of your capability and its exciting, while pvp is either pushover enemies or sweats that make you wanna alt f4 instantly

[civic quail]

There have been few points in my life where I considered ending it all, and any moment on Valorant is certainly one of em

[civic quail]

Honestly true. It's becoming more and more difficult to find players that can challenge you, without a steamroll

Especially as you become an adult, and can't invest numerous hours into learning each and every strat

[median yew]

Just know I've spent years on Siege and I haven't had a happy moment on it since I began.

[civic quail]

I USED TO BE HAPPY THERE

[median yew]

Why I play is because my friends love it

[civic quail]

USED TO

LOOK CHANGE IS GOOD

[median yew]

I started in Wind Bastion but the game got so bad at Void Edge

[civic quail]

BUT I MISS OLD SIEGE

I MISS OPERATION HEALTH, WHERE THEY FIXED NOTHIN

[median yew]

DID YOY HEAR ABOUT THE SHOTGUN META???

[civic quail]

WHAT

I mean I would absolutely abuse that, I was a rush Sledge main, BUT WHAT

[median yew]

SO OPS MEAN NOTHING NOW, ITS JUST A GUN META NOW FOR WHO HAS THE BEST WEAPONS AND THEY ADDED SHOTGUNS TO THE MIX

SHOTGUNS HAVE SLUGS ESSENTIALLY AND CAN DECIMATE EVERYONE

[civic quail]

THEY WHAT

[median yew]

THE BEST SHOTGUN IS AMARU AND ECHOS SHOTGUN SO FAR

THE SECOND BEST IS THE SUPER 90

SNIPER 90 AT THAT POINT

[civic quail]

I MEAN THAT'S REALISTIC, BUT DOESNT MAKE GAMEPLAY SENSE

[median yew]

You wanna talk about REALISM???

ARUNIS LASER GATES?!?!

[civic quail]

OH REALISM WAS ABANDONED LONG AGO

GOT A GAY ARGENTINIAN WITH A SUPER DRONE. LIKE I DONT MIND THE GAY PART, BUT DAWG HE ISNT IN THE MILITARY HE IS A THIEF

[median yew]

I hate where siege is at because teamwork doesn't mean anything anymore it's just about which op has the best gun

The 1.5 sight leads that gun meta same with shotguns now

Ubisoft just doesn't know what they're doing with the game anymore because they ALWAYS DO THIS where they make something TOO BUFFED then they nerf it down the road

I can't even tell if I hate overwatch or siege more at this point

Actually I hate overwatch way more nvm

[civic quail]

AH DONT YOU MENTION THAT HELL

DONT

[median yew]

I was an ana main.

A support ana main.

[civic quail]

SPENT ONE MORE YEAR PLAYING IT THAN I SHOULD HAVE CAUSE IT WAS ALL MY FRIENDS PLAYED

[vestal stirrup]

overwatch was always garbo ngl

[median yew]

That game can bring out a monster in you that you didn't even know you had 😭

[civic quail]

I was a Lucio/Mercy/Winston mains

Nah it was good once

once

[median yew]

Once.

[vestal stirrup]

when no hero limit

[civic quail]

Good memories

[vestal stirrup]

6 stack torb or some other spammer and win

[median yew]

You sound monstrous

[vestal stirrup]

i dont get why they reduced team sizes from 6 to 5 even

[civic quail]

6 winstons on the clock

[vestal stirrup]

winston stacking was so fun as well

[civic quail]

To make it more fluid and kinteic cause stall meta

[balmy mason]

so close to refund%

[proud wren]

rip

[balmy mason]

i could 100% do that in under 2 hours now that i've played the game though

[vestal stirrup]

ow peaked when it was still casual, like literally games arent meant to be sweat sims

[median yew]

And when they aren't catering to a specific audience

[civic quail]

LETS CATER TO THE TOP 2% BABY

[vestal stirrup]

if u try to make ur game be good for everyone tho its gonna be shit as well

[median yew]

I don't believe it should be for everyone but they went uniquely for ONE audience

It's like with Siege when anyone who isn't like champ gets ignored when making any changes to the game

[atomic spear]

well got my kua grattler

sadly it has lower ase status tan regular grattler

gonna have to fuse one

[vestal stirrup]

idk anything about siege but it seems so unfun even tho the idea is good

[atomic spear]

hey got a malicious raptor stance

[balmy mason]

its too competitive

[median yew]

Used to be fun when teamwork was the reliant factor

[balmy mason]

i wasnt great at siege when i played it and that doesnt really go well with the game being competitive

[modern schooner]

I had fun with friends, but then they all stopped playing, plus they fairly recently added an operator who I despise

[balmy mason]

also you cant play cross platform so i cant like actually play well because if i want to play with my friends i gotta go on controller

[modern schooner]

They have a gadget that gives Minecraft darkness effect in a game where fucking everyone camps the longest possible angle

[vestal stirrup]

that sounds extremely dumb lmao

[modern schooner]

It’s already near impossible to see people holding angles like that, now it just straight up is

[proud wren]

siege players seeing the outermost molecule of the enemies head sticking out from a doorframe

[median yew]

2 op operators that are the best essentially

Fenrir and Ram

[balmy mason]

i dont think i've played since they've added those two

i remember playing smoke

[median yew]

I don't suggest playing cause it's horrific rn

[balmy mason]

there was the tackle guy who i sucked at

[modern schooner]

I stopped because of the aforementioned dude

[median yew]

I watched my entire team die to shotguns because of the shotgun meta

[proud wren]

they really got loki's son fenrir in r6

ofc he's op

[median yew]

The only enjoyment I get out of siege is putting up silly metal wall and killing people

[proud wren]

when i played siege i played the goober who injects grenades into a room and killed the hostage

[modern schooner]

I like to run around with garbage weapons and kill people anyway

[median yew]

Fuze!

[proud wren]

yea fuze

[modern schooner]

Run hostage run

[balmy mason]

shields are awesome

and then they removed recruit shield and i cried

[proud wren]

fuze is either a menace or a menace to your team

[median yew]

I play just about everyone because I don't like maining ppl

[balmy mason]

spend 80 dollars on characters 🧌

[median yew]

I wish fun like that was still available in siege like you NEVER see a Monty or Blitz anymore

[modern schooner]

I liked all the defense ops, never cared for any attack ones

Mainly because I never liked attacking

[median yew]

It's the grindset of renown

[balmy mason]

actually like the most fun i had in the game besides killing my teammates lmao

[median yew]

Cause attacking sucks

[modern schooner]

It really does

[balmy mason]

play the game for 8 hours straight to unlock a character you dont even like playing

[median yew]

Eeeexactly!!!

[modern schooner]

8 is far too few

[median yew]

Siege is so fun.

[balmy mason]

you get the 50% boost though

[median yew]

72 hours total and you'll earn like an op at most

[modern schooner]

It would take weeks to unlock one character once you get to the expensive ones

[balmy mason]

so the game is essentially p2w

siege is a cool video game

[modern schooner]

Sorta

[median yew]

Even the 25,000 ones suck

[modern schooner]

I got all the characters there were while I was playing without paying money

[median yew]

Such a cool concept if UBISOFT wasn't running the show

Same fuckers who made FOR HONOR

[modern schooner]

Not even a full 100 characters I don’t think, and it took over 800 hours

[median yew]

For honor is just a depressing sulking cesspool

[proud wren]

the game that is really a shame is mordhau

the game had so much potential

[modern schooner]

Only good Ubisoft games are the old assassin’s creed games

[median yew]

Also the Scott Pilgrim game that I didn't even know Ubisoft had a part in

[modern schooner]

Haven’t played that one yet

[median yew]

Love that game, I remember playing it on the 360

They took it off of the 360 then they re-released it on the one and I instantly bought it

[balmy mason]

dont they also own rabbids

[modern schooner]

I do believe so

[median yew]

Yup!

You can see references in Watchdogs 1, 2, and siege

[modern schooner]

Supposedly Mario + rabbids is another good Ubisoft game, but that’s probably because they had Nintendo breathing down their neck the whole time

[median yew]

I currently have an intense hyperfixation over guilty gear strive

[balmy mason]

i've played guilty gear strive once

for like 2 hours

[vestal stirrup]

guilty gear lore is crazy

[median yew]

I LOVE IT

[modern schooner]

I played whatever the one before was for a bit

[balmy mason]

but i've listened to like 300+ hours of the ost

[median yew]

I'm an I-NO main and she's the worst in the game but I proudly main her

[balmy mason]

i played cross platform on xbox gamepass and it was incredibly broken

[median yew]

Silly guitar, couldn't resist

[balmy mason]

me and my friend were essentially playing 2 different matches

[vestal stirrup]

i would honestly buy strive but none of my friends are that interested in fighting games, and i dont wanna do random matches lol. also they need to add someone like aba or zappa to it first cuz otherwise id only play like zato or nago

[median yew]

I'm not even interested in fighting games but guilty gear strive makes my autism HAPPY

[balmy mason]

[proud wren]

all characters are viable unless you're a pro player

[median yew]

Yuppers!

[proud wren]

(i am a may main)

[median yew]

I LOVE MAY

[proud wren]

FUCK YEAH

[vestal stirrup]

fighting against may as a zoner like axl is torture

[median yew]

I LOVE OCWAN LIFE

[proud wren]

they made may stronger in the new update

[vestal stirrup]

wtf

[proud wren]

yea

you can cancel her dolphin dash now

[median yew]

Fighting Axl with a brushdown character like I-NO is hell

[proud wren]

when she cancels it she hops into the air and is immediately able to airdash and such

and they added new things that all characters can use

they added a perfect parry thing and a sort of dash

you dash forward and it does damage i think

it's called like wild assault or somethin

[vestal stirrup]

semirelated but ngl i think tekken is prob the best fighting game over all, they just gotta add simpler combos and itd be perfect

[proud wren]

guilty gear strive is the only fighting game ill play unless they make a sequel

i tried the older ones and they didn't connect

[median yew]

Chip mains are mentally ill

[proud wren]

guilty gear XRD had a lot of personality tho

[vestal stirrup]

guilty gear has a ton of cool characters but tekken got yoshi

[proud wren]

oh and ill probably try out the laegue of legends fighting game when it comes out

itll be free anyway so why not

[vestal stirrup]

thats a thing? wth

[proud wren]

yea

project L

it actually looks super cool

[vestal stirrup]

thats such a dumb name

[proud wren]

i think it's a placeholder name

you have the main character right

but you also have this person on the side that you can do certain stuff with

[vestal stirrup]

hopefully lmao, cuz otherwise im gonna just think its an L game

[proud wren]

im 90% sure it's a placeholder

[proud wren]

not two actual people though

[vestal stirrup]

oh is it like where u can switch the characters out or have the backup do attacks for ur combos?
