yeah what i try to do it rush through along the ground and displace first

#

anyone that got separated i kill with my gun then when my hooks back i swing back around and either run if they regrouped or slam to scatter them more

tawny cobalt
#

But if anyone wants to play some games on NA server, my Battle.net is deepthot#1300

#

Not sure how much I'm going to be playing since I'm also working through Bastion on Switch though.

dusty tree
#

Hmm, I'll have to play around some more in QP to get comfortable-- thanks for the tips

tawny cobalt
#

Ah, I'm on PC. I forgot that game is on console as well.

dusty tree
#

šŸ‘ I'll give you a ping if I'm avail to play! During busy weeks I usually only have time to play through some arcade games to get those lootboxes, lol

tawny cobalt
#

Yeah, I have about an hour I set aside for playing games each day. Trying to crawl out of poverty by self-learning computer science.

dusty tree
#

Lucrative! My SO's basically self taught, university caps for the major are brutal but he made it work anyhow

#

We play OW occasionally so if he's around I'll ask if he also wants to play

potent saddle
#

Oh yeah OW is lots of fun but if you want to play with people who are even semi-competent you’re gonna have to rank pretty high in comp

#

And even then you’ll have people who lock Hanzo just to annoy others

"deepthot" is a pretty radical name

I need to get back into overwatch

#

tawny cobalt
#

I played 15 games of Overwatch last night (aka way too many). And I won 14 of them through some miracle.

opaque quail
#

Woah nicely done! My brother and I team up, usually in Arcade, and the other day we were celebrating big time when we got four games in a row. You're a natural! šŸ‘

tawny cobalt
#

Haha, thanks. I just got lucky with good teammates. I might play some more tonight if anyone is around. Probably not 15 though. 😫

sour crown
#

I haven't played Overwatch since Doomfist was brand new

tawny cobalt
#

I see him in a lot of games. There is apparently a new new character on the test server, but I haven't figured out how to opt in to it.

opaque quail
#

Ashe, yeah! I'm a console player so if you opt in let me know how she is! I'm excited to be really bad at her.

sharp grail
#

if I’m not mistaken, in the section where you change your region above the play button there’s a PTR option

#

you change to that, download the PTR and can play her there

#

And it’s only for PC unfortunately, yeah :(

tawny cobalt
#

I found it! I'll download it while I'm watching lectures for the day.

potent saddle
#

I stopped playing OW for a long time (played on ps4) then rebought it recently on pc and started playing again

#

I hadn’t played since a few months after Doomfist came out I think

#

Oh patch notes just came out too

#

Mercy got a buff which is nice cause she’s my main and they kinda nerfed her into the ground for a while

sharp grail
#

Yeah I had to stop playing because I could only play sym and mercy and they for reworked to hell and back

#

I Have No Aim

opaque quail
#

Symmetra was my jam, but I haven't gotten back into her since the rework. She was kind of a walking tank for a while tbh.

potent saddle
#

I like new Symmetra (besides how she can just yeet turrets at you then jump in for the kill, kinda stupid) but I really hate Mercy’s new ult

#

Autocorrect pls

sharp grail
#

I still played when she got the second ult and the moving shield, but I stopped before the second rework

potent saddle
#

Well not ā€œnewā€ but reworked ult

#

Since it was new back when I stopped playing forever ago lol

opaque quail
#

I'm definitely still a fan of reworked Symmetra, it's just harder to strike fear in the hearts of your opponents with her now.

potent saddle
#

I miss her moving shield

opaque quail
#

Me too.

potent saddle
#

It was pretty cool

sharp grail
#

It’s gone? :(

opaque quail
#

Having that run at you as you approach point? A nightmare.

#

Yeap!

sharp grail
#

nooooo...

potent saddle
#

Yeah they redid her again

#

She doesn’t have shield gen either anymore

opaque quail
#

Her abilities are now: teleporter with limited range on cooldown, three beefed up turrets that are projectile, and her ult is a shield that spans the entire map for a limited time.

#

Check her out! It's an interesting kit.

potent saddle
#

Her teleporter is kinda busted if you use it right

sharp grail
#

I’m too anxious to pick ovw up again anyway :(

potent saddle
#

Cause you can place it in one spot out of sight going to another spot out of sight

sharp grail
#

I dunno why

#

say

#

Can you still trolleport

potent saddle
#

So your flankers just have a field day

#

Idk what that is

sharp grail
#

Yknow when you place the teleport right at a cliff and everyone who uses it falls to their death

potent saddle
#

Probably but the way it works now is you put it wherever you are and the other teleporter is wherever you’re looking within a limited range so it’s much harder now

opaque quail
#

You can in theory, though usually you can see where both teleporters are.

sharp grail
#

huh

opaque quail
#

Also I totally understand the Overwatch anxiety.

#

I don't play competitive at all because of it.

sharp grail
#

The way it works sounds really weird

potent saddle
#

I like competitive a lot with a full team but none of my friends like comp

sharp grail
#

I’m a hardcore completionist

#

So I always wanted to have all the special items and stuff

opaque quail
#

Aaaahhh gotcha

potent saddle
#

And solo queue almost certainly drops you in silver/gold since you get put with just the worst players

sharp grail
#

so I used to play for them even when it wasn’t fun anymore and I just wore myself out

potent saddle
#

That’s understandable

sharp grail
#

and now I’m just like... I’ve missed so much at this point, and when I do want to play it’s just for skins and to take nice screenshots

potent saddle
#

That’s why I started playing again lol

sharp grail
#

I’m just not a multiplayer person I guess djdbfjf I only bought it cuz I liked the characters to begin with

potent saddle
#

I got it from humble bundle a little bit before the Halloween event so I picked it back up to get Witch Mercy

#

Since I’ve wanted her since she came out but could never get her

sharp grail
#

The new Halloween skins are pretty cool

tawny cobalt
#

They had a new patch today. Not sure what it changed yet.

potent saddle
#

I love Doomfish

sharp grail
#

Banshee Moira is Good

tawny cobalt
#

Ah, thanks.

No problem

Honestly getting Doomfish from the Halloween event made me start playing Doomfist

How does the SGG Community feel about Visual Novels?

potent saddle
#

Not for me but I can see the appeal

#

I’m fine with ones that offer gameplay like Pyre and Ace Attorney, but the others just bore me out of my mind. If I’m gonna just read a story I’ll just read a book

tardy anchor
#

loooove em

#

umineko is šŸ’Æ

faint panther
#

Funny that you say that, because books are my first choice of media and I tend to play games for the story. I like to joke that I'd play Doctor Mario if you give me a good story behind it lol

#

I haven't played Umineko, but it looks like something I'll give a try!

#

I guess a good way to put it would be that I would rather be mentally engaged with a game than physically engaged? I enjoy arcade style games, but tend to get bored of them pretty quick.

candid sparrow
#

I like VNs to an extent

faint panther
#

I feel like there are some gems that get passed over, but yeah everyone has their preferences

potent saddle
#

Oh yeah I totally play lots of games for the story

#

I just would rather read a book than play a game with no gameplay

faint panther
#

Yeah, there's that kind of expectation from the outset lol

potent saddle
#

Especially because lots of books can be found for super cheap and VNs cost more money than that for usually less content than a book (the good ones not the 1$ ones you see on sale on steam all the time)

faint panther
#

Oh I can agree with that yeah, without a doubt VN's are more expensive, and riskier I would say, to make hehe

candid sparrow
#

I like VNs because of pretty art and good music. It can do stuff books cant do with that

sour crown
#

Saying VNs are bad just because you can read a book doesn't make much sense to me

#

Sure it's not really a game in the traditional sense but it's more than a book too

potent saddle

I didn’t say they were bad I just said I like books more

#

#

#

I liked AC3 a lot though

torpid osprey
#

99% of my playlists are composed of game soundtracks

#

Guilty Gear, Transistor, Killer Instinct, Crypt of the Necrodancer, Bioshock, A Hat in Time, Skies of Arcadia, Nier...the list is huge

#

one of my favorites

nova pilot
#

Also, The Banner Saga OST was pretty great

serene tulip
#

I've been on a chiptunes kick for a while now. So a bunch of games have been in my playlist

potent saddle
#

I adore the Banner Saga ost

#

It’s so chaotic and it fits the games so well

serene tulip
#

not a huge fan of overly orchestral "Epic" songs for casual listening

#

don't need to make my job that atmospheric šŸ˜›

potent saddle
#

It’s not exactly like that

serene tulip
#

wasn't necessarily saying the banner saga was that

potent saddle
#

Fair

serene tulip
#

just not, like, the halo opening theme or stuff

nova pilot
#

#1 was the best one

#

The song from when the Varl ships sail into the harbour the first time

potent saddle
#

3 has best gameplay and 2 is tied with it for story imo

potent saddle
#

Only issue I had with 3’s gameplay was that the balancing was poor tbh. Iver’s group was very underpowered compared to Arberrang

nova pilot
#

That's definitely the point!

#

All 3 have a strong group and a weak group

#

Hakon v Rook, then Rook/Alette v Bolverk, then Iver vs Arberrang

potent saddle
#

I just feel like Iver’s group was a bit too underpowered. I just ended up abusing Iver and spamming mend on him cause nobody else could take any hits or deal any damage

#

The slinger was good too

#

Folka fell off hard after 2 for me

nova pilot
#

Folka has 3 Break, right?

#

Did you keep Krumr alive?

potent saddle
#

Yeah but I didn’t use him first playthrough

#

He was just filler

#

Second playthrough of the games he was pretty good

nova pilot
#

Krumr and Iver both have 4 Break

#

And they both get Tempest

#

Give Krumr a damage-absorption item and you're good to go

potent saddle
#

Arberrang gets gods like Egil, Petrus, Ubin, Rook, and Alette

#

Like they’re basically unkillable

nova pilot
#

Never learned how to use Egil or Petrus

#

Ubin gets Tempest, but Hakon and Gunnulf are already better

potent saddle
#

I give Iver a strength resist item that I think also booster strength or armor and then mountain and he started one shotting. I think the only fight he ever got injured in was the final boss

nova pilot
#

What's Egil do that Mogr doesn't do better?

potent saddle
#

Ubin’s strength isn’t in tempest

#

His strength is in that he can one shot people with his ability. He one shot Eyeless for me

nova pilot
#

Damn, what's his ability again?

potent saddle
#

Lets everyone in range attack an enemy

nova pilot
#

That's Rook

potent saddle
#

Ubin does it too

nova pilot
#

Wait what

potent saddle
#

Yeah

nova pilot
#

Ah, but he doesn't have Light Step though

#

Getting him into position must be tough

potent saddle
#

Egil is the tankiest human and can give himself damage immunity

#

And has good break

#

Positioning Ubin isn’t hard if you plan around it

nova pilot
#

Even during the fights atop the walls?

potent saddle
#

And since he’s a human he’s infinitely easier to position

nova pilot
#

But you want your tank to take up space though

#

At least, I do

potent saddle
#

That’s less simple but those fights are just ā€œput down a few varl and then shoot from behindā€ anyway

#

I found that running two varl and then one or two human tanks was pretty effective

#

Since it’s really helpful to have someone that can take hits but doesn’t block off all your guys up on the front lines

nova pilot
#

3 Varl for me, every time

#

Mogr, Hakon, someone else with Tempest

potent saddle
#

Petrus is just Egil-lite that summons cannon fodder

nova pilot
#

Then archers/menders

#

What abilities does the summoned guy have?

#

Shield Wall and something

potent saddle
#

He’s just a generic with the damage immunity that Egil has

#

Lame stats but he’s not there to tank he’s there to do some damage and then die

#

Oh also Egil has shield wall and good break so you can drop him between 2 varl and he’ll break armor for your archers and also make the varl tankier

#

He’s not really outstanding at anything but he’s really hard to kill

nova pilot
#

Yeah, that's why I usually don't pick him! You need the outstanding guys!

potent saddle
#

Having someone who never gets injured is pretty important in 3

#

Since you have so few opportunities to rest

nova pilot
#

That's definitely true

potent saddle
#

And you can even send him off to the side and use his ability so he pulls away some enemies while you thin the crowds

#

Since he just doesn’t take damage

#

And he’s in the party with the highest damage output and the warhorn so he doesn’t have issues keeping willpower

#

Anyone in Banner Saga can be useful with the right items and strategy it’s just a matter of what’s the most convenient and whether or not you have those items (looking at you bolverk)

#

Well anyone except like

#

Nid

nova pilot
#

I found the poet also didn't really do that much

#

Sparr has a reasonable ability, but Aleo's is kinda bad

#

His passive is pretty solid though

potent saddle
#

Aleo is good in BS2 but he was just kind of a waste of a slot in BS3

#

Sparr’s good because he’s in the party that doesn’t have the warhorn and that’s getting their willpower drained constantly

nova pilot
#

Insult is also pretty solid

potent saddle
#

Ye

#

Helpful for chasing down slingers

nova pilot
#

Oh man the Slingers

#

Freaking Sunstrike

i don't think anyone asked for any live action version from the disney movies

hexed hollow
#

klinkShrug it's obviously a money making machine for them, so why would a massive corporation that's main goal is making money (for both them and their shareholders) care about what we as the consumer want

torpid osprey
#

you're talking about Disney or Blizzard?

hexed hollow
#

both

torpid osprey

Well, if it gets my nephews to watch it I'll forgive the live action part. Not sure what I think about the new voices but I'll have to hear them to be sure. I will be vexed to no end, however, if the animals are animated such that they are doing things not anatomically possible.

tawny cobalt
#

Does Octopath Traveller get any better? In terms of storytelling, at least. The game is stunningly good looking and with a soundtrack to match, but the 8 stories are so generic and unrelated that I really didn't feel like finishing it. Especially since I had Hollow Knight to play. Should I put it back into the rotation after I finish Let's Go or leave it for a rainy day far in the future?

hexed hollow
#

I've heard great things about it's storytelling

#

How far are you into the game if you don't mind me asking

hexed hollow
#

And definitely play hollow knight, it's an amazing game with a stunning soundtrack

tawny cobalt
#

I'm about 35 hours in. The story has been abysmal for me. I find a character, complete their story that has nothing to do with the other 8 characters, and then go to a new town and repeat the process. I expected that to stop after I unlocked all the characters but then it just opened up options to continue each of these 8 separate stories. Having different characters in your party gives you new gameplay options but none of them add or subtract from the story itself. It all feels really disconnected.

potent saddle
#

That was an issue I heard other people had too

tawny cobalt
#

Everything else is great though. Battle system, graphics, sound design, even the UI are all great. I already beat Hollow Knight. And replayed Bastion. And beat Super Mario Odyssey. I just don't usually drop games and especially not $60 dollar ones so its a feels bad. I need to stop buying digital tbh until companies are willing to implement trading and reselling of licenses.

hexed hollow
#

ahh, i read that wrong klinkLUL
That's fair enough, I guess the style of storytelling octopath is going for isn't for everyone

sour crown
#

I thought the point of octopath was the interlocking stories

#

is that not the case?

potent saddle
#

I haven’t played it but from what I can tell every story is pretty independent

#

There’s like one bad guy tying them together

sour crown
#

well then

potent saddle
#

Since you can do them in any order they can’t have different characters actually play a part in different stories because you might not have a character who’s important

#

So sometimes they come in to make a comment but that’s about it

#

Keep in mind I haven’t played it this is just from what I’ve seen

sour crown
#

I guess they didn't feel like putting in the work that was put into pyre

#

x3

serene tulip
#

now that would be an interesting thing, the order in which you do the stories changing what the others would be like

potent saddle

But that would take effort and it’s an AAA game

Blackwall, Bull, Josephine or Sera?

out of those 4? blackwall

#

josie's sweet but i haven't played her romance yet gkjdfgd

serene tulip
#

She's was my first, and of the others I've tried so far my favorite

#

Also, I'm sad Cassandra isn't into women and krem and harding aren't options

sharp grail
#

Cassandra really should have been into women :(

desert swallow
#

Iron Bull ahhh

serene tulip
#

Bull is who I'm leaning towards

#

need mod to wear more than pajamas during important meetings tho

tropic garden
#

bull's more fun, i guess
i thought we were asking personal preferences gkjdfgfd

serene tulip

I mean, I wasn't not asking personal preferences

i made a guy solely to romance cassandra

#

but honestly i wasn't super into any of the inquisition romances

desert swallow
#

I've only played one and a half of the romances dhfsdhg

serene tulip
#

I really liked Josie's romance

tropic garden
#

solas was my first choice, he walked onscreen and i was like "oh it's gonna be this one" but then he turned out to be a dick

#

so. you know

serene tulip
#

Yeah, he's such a heart breaker

tropic garden
#

oh i dumped him way before that gkdjfg

#

like, shortly after getting to skyhold

#

i decided i didn't want to pursue his romance any further

desert swallow
#

Solas was my first and now I'm romancing Iron Bull on a different playthrough

#

I want to do all of them eventually

serene tulip
#

I didn't romance solas, but I did keep him in my party forever

#

So I still feel a bit betrayed

desert swallow
#

I like... always had Blackwall in my party. Like ALWAYS.

serene tulip
#

I never did, because Cass

desert swallow
#

I liked having both her and Blackwall to help me fight dragons : O

serene tulip
#

the only playthrough I even got to dragons on I was playing warrior

#

I think I like playing warrior the most

#

requires the least amount of party micromanagment.

desert swallow
#

I need to try playing something other than a mage XD

serene tulip
#

with an axe bigger than she is

desert swallow
#

OH COOL

trail gazelle
#

I thought that was a cosplayer at first glance. Dang those are good graphics!

serene tulip
#

the game is 4 years old, and my 1080 still has it on not-perfect settings

#

I should crank em all the way up to high

#

and see what it can actually handle it

tropic garden
#

da:i lucked out coming out in a year without a ton of other good releases; i still firmly believe that's the only reason it was received so well lol
it was so buggy when it came out...a lot of that's been fixed but some of it....some of it

#

and like thank god the environmental design was pretty because that's a lot of what it had going for it

serene tulip
#

also, dunno why nvidia thinks my settings should be so low, I'm not getting any fps drop

took me a bit to figure out how to turn off the UI

the game's inspired by pyre, so it's semi relevant i guess lol

Nah unclipped harps would be op

ur OP

velvet void
#

Haha, gottem

daring kiln
#

I mean their are a few races with a fly speed in dnd I believe and tieflings could work for demons so it's not tooo far fetched

#

Not sure how the hags would transfer though they are a bit too monstrous for a typical PC without a level adjustment

#

Same with the wyrms

velvet void
#

You can prob do it tho, balancing will be a pain but DnD fully supports home brewing stuff. Volos guide to monsters made a couple of monsters into PC races.

#

And if the setting is Homebrew as well you can pretty much change anything and everything to make it work.

daring kiln
#

Definitely I'd would probably give them both a few spell like abilities or higher ability scores too to make up for their reduced magic item slots lacking legs/ arms for wyrms lol

At least Wyrms would have high initiative?!

do wyrms get an AC boost from being Tiny

I was thinking that the Pyre story would be a fun idea for a DnD campaign as well. Wilderness and travel, then 3 on 3 battles versus npcs. I'm a pretty casual (and lazy) DM though. I would probably just take the existing races and tweak a bit as needed and make them fit pyre. The elf is a savage now, the cur is a half-ling with double speed. etc.

faint panther
#

That a cool idea. I'm sure you could make the races feel much more unique without too much effort really

Any hidden gem games that people are looking forward to? What's everyone looking forward to?

There's a game I've been looking forward to called Mutant year zero: road to Eden coming out on the 4th

Looks pretty rad

stone condor
#

I'm looking forward to Oddworld Soulstorm and Tales of Vesperia on PC. I think I should also mention CrossCode which came out a couple months ago and is one of the best games I've ever played. It's a story rich action RPG.

velvet void
#

Bought that game on Early Access

#

Played through the bit it offered and really enjoyed it

#

Should get around to playing it

stone condor
#

yea I played the demo 2 years ago and bought it right after that but waited until release to play the full game

#

you should play it, it's amazing

Have to say Bloodstained is looking pretty great

I’m a huge fan of that genre and I played Curse of the Moon and it was pretty good

Here's hoping it's good

Now I'm just picturing a furry Oralech...oh my gosh. LOL.

#

I am looking foward to "Ori and the Will of the Wisps"! I LOVED the first one, didn't even expect them to make a second one, but as soon as I knew about it's existence I became OVER THE MOON ABOUT IT!!! Sooooooooooo hyped for it--it's world and artwork and game design [combat and stuff] is soooo much fun! And the story is good, too! Although the best thing about the first is definitely the music! It made me buy the game /immediately/!

hexed hollow
#

Ori 2 looks amazing, the only problem I have is it's xbone/windows 10 exclusive :/

#

I don't have an xbone, and the windows 10 store is utter trash to the point I don't wanna use it

trail gazelle
#

Oh it is?? I didn't know that.

#

Glad you think it looks awesome though!!!!!

#

I've never used that store šŸ¤” Must be bad.

hexed hollow
#

yeah, it's something I'd stay far away from if you can
from the xbox page regarding ori 2 "Platforms - Xbox One, Windows 10"

#

I was suuuper hyped when I first saw the trailer, but that fizzled hard when I learned it was xbone/windows 10 exclusive

Gris is a hopeful young girl lost in her own world, dealing with a painful experience in her life. Her journey through sorrow is manifested in her dress, which grants new abilities to better navigate her faded reality. As the story unfolds, Gris will grow emotionally and see ...

I love everything about Ori except that one room in the ginso tree that's to the right just before you do the escape

#

that room is the worst

Isn't that the one where you have to juggle around the energy ball with bash?

I was stuck on the escape for a while on my first playthrough

Yeah the escape sequences definitely have a difficulty spike to them

Oh yeah GRIS looks so legit

I want to play 200 games every year, but I just can't figure out how to do it

I discovered I had a dota courier that was selling for $40

now I'm debating which of the many games we've been talking about here I should get šŸ˜›

i'm assuming you have Bastion and Transistor already

Ori is an amazing game

I just wanted a colorful name and don't like yellow šŸ˜›

@umbral sky You got to play it at PAX?!!?? Omg so jealous!!!! Was it amazing?!!?

#

I'm SOO excited for Gris, too! It looks beautiful!

#

I got stuck in the Ginso Tree level in Ori...for a grand total of FOUR DAYS. (Well I was at college so I had homework each night, but still!!) Also, Ori holds the record for the most deaths I've ever died in a game...FOUR THOUSAND, and I wasn't even finished with it at that point!!

That much is true

but I'm just glad he blocked me because of that specific reason

umbral sky
#

Yeah at PAX Aus. It was really good @trail gazelle it builds on the first in a great way. The burrowing feels really fun and it's just as gorgeous as ever. The weapons for combat is sooooo good. The first Ori's blue missile spam never bothered me but this new one improves on it massively. Was super fun

God

I'm really indecisive.

#

Don't know if I want to play Hades now, in EA, or actually get the Steam perks with it later.

radiant lynx
#

As accomplished as Supergiant is, I'd rather wait for the full game and Steam Support. Unless we get to give some playtest feedback that is

#

I love y'all to bits, tho, still I'd wait for the full game.

solemn sierra
#

I'd rather wait. My experience with Early Access is that you get a half-baked experience, and sometimes the dev are cheeky little ones in such a way where they never finish the game.

near tree
#

"How can I provide feedback on the game?
You can provide us with valuable feedback simply by playing the game; an optional menu setting lets you anonymously transmit gameplay data to us (no personal identifying information is included), which we’ll use to inform balancing decisions as we move forward.

We also invite you to join our official Discord server at Link here. There you can chat with fellow players and send us your impressions."

#

I trust Supergiant I guess.

#

But I haven't had bad EAs with any games, so I wouldn't know.

radiant lynx
#

only eas i've tried were

#

Kyn (which was awful) and Dead Cells

#

Which proved to be a very good buy

candid sparrow
#

dead cells is goood

#

Hades estimated release time.

solemn sierra
#

Minecraft was a bad experience, Project Zomboid was a very bad experience, spacebase df-9 was a horrible experience, towns was a horrible experience

#

Can only put my hands on the stove so many times

whole pier
#

Understandable.

#

Minecraft imo is a decent game.

#

Mods are goooood.

solemn sierra
#

Minecraft was bad because once the dev got their money, they barely delivered on the things they said they'd implement, tried to monetize the mod API, and a lot of the later features close to release were oddly similar to mods.

#

I'm 100% fine with epic games, although never been a big fan of having a dozen platforms for games

peak scaffold
#

I would be down for buying it as just a zip folder download. Having to go through so many launchers constantly is annoying since every time you open a game you potentially have to download an update for the launcher and then maybe make an account for that launcher as well if it's your first time. IMO having to download a new file every time they release a new version seems less of a chore than having to go through a launcher again. Especially when there are already so many.

candid sparrow
#

sonic fox won

#

good

faint panther
#

oo the discord thumbnail changed =3

#

While I agree it would be easier, then people would just give the game away for free, and Supergiant deserves EVERY damn penny they're owed.

Pointless. It would be harder to set up distribution

tropic garden

#

Lots of people have been getting that error

#

There's not a lot we can do from here

uncut lagoon
#

torn minnow
#

#

@tropic garden @uncut lagoon finded a way to get it, added a card in the account options and bough it after 😃

uncut lagoon
#

nice, i will do that

silk flume
#

to switch to off topic here

#

It's not so much that Epic Store is bad by itself

#

it's that the initial thrust of what they're offering seems to be very friendly to major game publishers, a bit less friendly towards consumers, they're an unknown on the storefront field and as such untested and unproven

hollow dagger
#

yeah true

#

we still havent had time

silk flume
#

It's less that we should burn them at the stake for witchcraft

hollow dagger
#

to see if we can raelly trust them

faint panther
#

well the epic store does take around 7-15% of my cpu wich is an I7 7700K wich is a bit much

silk flume
#

and more having a healthy amount of skepticism towards any company.

#

So far, SSG has earned plenty of good faith and trust by delivering solid games over the years

cerulean cloak
#

i love super saiyan games

silk flume
#

Aside for that (and disclaimer, I hate Battle Royale as a genre) so and so version of Fortnite for which they killed their original game

#

er

#

SGG my bad

cerulean cloak
#

lol

silk flume
#

It's nearing 4 pm here

#

work all day XD

#

that aside

#

aside for Fortnite, which they dumped to jump on (and conquer) the Battle Royale bandwagon

#

and Unreal Tournament, which they low key killed

#

Epic has been doing primarily Unreal Engine.

#

šŸ¤”

#

And while their general terms of use have been decent

#

they haven't exactly been on the open market enough to build a reputation as a reliable company to do business with on a market that's.... less than ideal.

hexed hollow
#

I personally prefer unreal tourny over battle royal any day of the week

silk flume
#

And honestly, as someone who doesn't care in the least about it, I don't know how Fortnite is.

#

So aside for seeing them jump on another bandwagon, I'm having trouble finding the grounds on which to give them the benefit of a doubt large enough for an early buy-in during the growing pains

#

Not like the 20 dollars I'd pay for Hades are a horrid expense I can't live without

#

but

velvet void
#

It's pretty much how I feel, rather wait for the release on Steam then to buy on a client I might not ever want to use

silk flume
#

I already used epic client

#

and I don't like it

#

I really, really don't like it.

velvet void
#

Same

hexed hollow
#

Honestly if hades is a really gokd experience once it's finished I'd pay full price for it (60 USD)

silk flume
#

erm

hollow dagger
#

i dont like it either, tho i have hopes that they will improve it

silk flume
#

not to be that guy

#

but I'll be that guy

#

full AAA games don't cost 60 usd

#

and haven't for a long time now

somber ferry
#

sgg games are usually 20 at launch. i'd still pay more for their quality though tbh

velvet void
#

Depends on what kind of games we talking about here

hexed hollow
#

That's basically what I'm saying x3

silk flume
#

Even good deals like Witcher 3 haven't cost 60 EUR for a complete game

hollow dagger
#

I mean

velvet void
#

Well release prices are usually 60

#

After time it gets reduced

hollow dagger
#

i think witcher 3 without the dlc is a complete experience

velvet void
#

Which is why I wait on games unless I really want them

potent saddle
#

You either get them on sale for waaaay cheaper or things that should be in main game are sold off or you have higher editions that give missions that were taken out and stuff

silk flume
#

to be fair

potent saddle
#

To get the full experience out of a AAA game these days often times you have to pay 100+ USD

hollow dagger
#

or be patient

#

and wait some months

silk flume
#

CDPR managed a very fair deal. Fair in the sense that they shipped a complete game

#

offered free content

#

and LARGE paid dlc

#

I still don't like it

potent saddle
#

I mean full price, Kiddo

silk flume
#

but I find it more acceptable

#

than games such as

hollow dagger
#

yeh, its obvious they worked a lot on the dlc, and it was obviously something that they worked on after the base game was fully done

silk flume
#

basically ANYTHING that Ubisoft and EA have shipped over the past five year.

#

years.

potent saddle
#

What’s wrong with TW3’s business model

hollow dagger
#

its a great business model

potent saddle
#

They released a complete and good game

#

And then made more for people who wanted it

hollow dagger
#

if all AAA studios had businses models like that

#

i would have no complaints

potent saddle
#

It’s not like other games where you have to buy this stuff for the full experience

silk flume
#

Tbh in this case

#

I don't have a problem with the cost

#

their pricing vs content was phenomenal

#

I just have an issue with adding content to a done story.

#

But that's just me

hollow dagger
#

it is kinda annoying

potent saddle
#

They aren’t

velvet void
#

The dlc had no bearing over the main story

hollow dagger
#

when its like i beat a game

silk flume
#

It's not something to argue over

potent saddle
#

The expansions re pretty much entirely separate

#

Except for Geralt

silk flume
#

Geralt

velvet void
#

*Gerry

sly aspen
#

In most situations its fine, but there are clearly some publishers who take it to an extreme and hurt the product

potent saddle
#

Autocorrect hates me

silk flume
#

stop phoneposting then šŸ˜›

#

It hates everyone

#

šŸ˜„

#

ok

hexed hollow
#

At least it's consistant šŸ˜‰

sly aspen
#

Shut the duck up, you stupid piece of shiv (autocorrect jokes)

silk flume
#

to avoid further argument over something we agree over

#

Wrecking your game to sell DLC == BAD

hollow dagger
#

ye

#

agreed

silk flume
#

Making DLC to add completely new unrelated content at a reasonable price == GOOD

hexed hollow
#

Even if it os related, it can still be good

silk flume
#

Even if we can argue over quality of story, whether it helps the story or not to add more content, and blah blah blah the next week over

#

I don't think it really affects the discussion

#

šŸ˜„

potent saddle
#

Yes I agree breaking game for more money = bad

silk flume
#

in short

#

my point was

hollow dagger
#

whats your favorite dlc gais

silk flume
#

Witcher 3 was imho not complete without the DLC

hollow dagger
#

just curious

potent saddle
#

idk how companies haven’t realized that good games sell yet. RDR2 exists, they don’t need to be scummy to make money

hollow dagger
#

i

silk flume
#

but it was a damn GOOD game without the DLC

torn minnow
#

i find the witcher 3 to damm complex, i tried the game 3 times but i cant, crafting, levels, toons of items, sidequests, to many attacks, skills combos i just cant i bough the game so i can help the devs. But i really cnt paly it.

silk flume
#

whereas a lot of games being sold today

potent saddle
#

I didn’t realize how the potions system works until about 15 hours in lol

silk flume
#

aren't complete without the day 1 day 2 day 3 dlc

#

😐

hollow dagger
#

but making a scummy game is much easier than a good game

potent saddle
#

I thought I was gonna have to make more healing potions

hollow dagger
#

honestly i thought witcher 3 was very simple, almost to a negative way sometimes

silk flume
#

ye

hollow dagger
#

i mean sure theres like the "complex" rpg systems

potent saddle
#

It was kind of annoying how late some of the stuff comes in

silk flume
#

coughGURPScough

sly aspen
#

I don't have a problem with devs making a game, selling it and then finding that they should make more content, and make that as DLC. I do not have a problem with a game being made and making revenue F2P model (provided it isn't gambling for content). I do have a problem with a game being made and the DLC coming out on the first day. That seems disingenuous, as if the game is being chopped up and sold as parts.

potent saddle
#

Like I barely got to the higher levels of the skill trees and I specialized

hollow dagger
#

but on the base game design its very simple

potent saddle
#

And then they introduced a whole new skill system for just the second dlc

silk flume
#

Ye, that was a bit messy imho

#

but

#

Blood and Wine was phenomenal.

#

And honestly

hexed hollow
#

Day onr dlc is a very very touchy thing, because it can be one of two scenario's

potent saddle
#

Also no reason to do a build that doesn’t spam aard and quen and uses that melee skill that lets you just not die

silk flume
#

I just have 3 words

potent saddle
#

Because the game is poorly balanced

silk flume
#

Olgierd von Everec.

potent saddle
#

I agree

silk flume
#

truth be told

#

the game works a lot better on high difficulty

#

where build actually do come into play

hollow dagger
#

still havenet palyed the dlc

silk flume
#

and most of the hax methods simply don't work that well unless you actually build into them

hollow dagger
#

i agree i played it on the highest difficulty from the start, it makes monster hunting

hexed hollow
#
  1. it's content that was created AFTER the game was finished development
    Or 2) on disc dlc that's cut from the main game to make more money
potent saddle
#

The game’s pretty decently difficult on normal at times

hollow dagger
#

feel more like a hunt where you have to prepair, and find the weakness and all that jazz

#

instead of just go and spam attack

#

still havent played that

potent saddle
#

Other times you just destroy stuff

hollow dagger
#

tho i thought the actual combat of witcher 3 is very meh

#

and super easy to cheese the ai even on high difficulty

#

for me the game was amazing when it comes to the mood and rpg choice aspect of it

silk flume
#

ye

#

combat wasn't much to write home about

#

aside for the bosses generally

#

but

#

the world building, attention to detail, atmosphere

hollow dagger
#

yeah, that stuff is top notch

silk flume
#

Just standing somewhere to watch the coming storm is phenomenal

#

My favorite memory is still

velvet void
#

Will say the final boss of blood and wine punched my head in

silk flume
#

a situation where I ran into a pack of ghouls

#

I think they were ghouls?

#

ghouls

#

nevermind

#

They were guarding something I needed

#

There was a pack of wolves nearby

#

Ran into wolves on horse, pulled them to ghouls

#

them and ghouls started fighting

#

I stood aside and tossed grenades at the survivors GWqlabsKek

potent saddle
#

The Witcher’s combat has never been very good

velvet void
#

Just better

potent saddle
#

I think my favorite thing about the game is how huge that one city is. I’ve waited so long for a fantasy game that has cities that don’t feel like villages and villages that don’t feel like a single cabin in the woods

velvet void
#

Compared to the rest

potent saddle
#

Yeah

velvet void
#

Too many games getting released this month

#

My poor wallet

hollow dagger
#

for me the best part is the....eh whats the viking placed called

#

in skellige

#

i loveed that

potent saddle
#

Skellige was great

hollow dagger
#

sailing with ur ship it was like a viking odyssey

velvet void
#

I loved Skellige

hollow dagger
#

to small islands killing cyclops
