do i really need to crawl on the edges

fathom juniper

just shoot the ropes and they're gonna poop their pants

OR just... slide down and peepoCryfall

ocean iris
#

bruhhhh

#

so many approaches lmao

fathom juniper
#

or just shoot the bee hive

#

or throw frogs at them

ocean iris
#

yes.

#

i swear this type of gameplay surely carries over to even death stranding

fathom juniper

or get some C3
blow up their food and meds storage
wait a few days for them to get hungry
then wait a bit more for it to start raining
wait for them to be sick and hungry
capture a bunch of poisonous snakes
and then put them on their patrol path, wait for them to eat those snakes and pass out while pooping their soviet uniforms

WHICH IS A REAL STRAT YOU CAN DO, IM NOT MAKING THIS UP

#

god i love this game so much PES_CowboyLove

#

Yeah MGS3 is such a newt experience

It’s amazing

Any game where I can save the world from world war 3 by throwing dead frogs at Soviet soldiers while wearing a croc cap is a 10/10 for me PES_Lul

SE execs still wonder why people didn't buy Forspoken nearly as much as they'd wanted

Ppsspp is such an unfortunate name for a piece of software

i even bought the gold version out of respect for the dev

Also the Steam Deck is an emulation beast, highly recommend. People have made packages for it that will install emulators for almost every system.

So what's the deal with hogwarts legacy, like, I know jk Rowling is a transphobe, but I just wanna play funky wizard game

#

I've looked for a good wizard game with genuine good spells since I first read Harry Potter, when I was 6

#

But I respect the people who don't want to play it, because of JK Rowling

#

I'm just not gonna play it until Christmas because I'm broke

#

It's a bad game? Good

#

(If it's good then good for the players but if it's bad, it's even better for medusa )

twin yarrow
#

not that im all up for pirating, but i guess, it's an exception
rumors say that if not today but tomorrow, HL will be hacked and released on torrents
so everybody can be happy with that

#

i remember also there was some kind of online mulitplayer TF-like team shooter with wizards, but i forgot the name

#

also, Magicka! small but really nice game about spellcasting

quartz lake
twin yarrow
#

probably even with the best spell mechanics

quartz lake
#

What do ppl think boycotting the game will even do? Absolutely nothing

twin yarrow
#

that also.. makes me think about how poor DS magic actually is

#

you have.. magic projectiles, another magic projectiles, big magic projectiles, another big magic projectiles, very big magic projectiles..

#

where is stone tossing, burning stuff, transforming metal into dust, whatever

quartz lake
#

HL legacy seems rely bland honestly. I returned it cuz the characters world and combat all felt lacking any soul. Only found interest in the graphics/environments but eh

twin yarrow
#

not only in DS, but in most games with magic

#

It’s just a franchise at this point who even cares if it’s attached to JK Rowling

rancid token
#

Still puts money in her pocket, is the problem

quartz lake
#

And? She’s literally a billionaire. Almost every giant franchise or Corp has done bad things. Yet ppl consume their products and use their services

quartz lake
#

If u don’t wanna support it don’t but boycotting a Harry Potter game won’t affect JKR lol

trail nest
#

Fr tho

rancid token
#

It literally gives her less money to donate to hate groups though?

trail nest
quartz lake
#

Y’all know Dr. Seuss was a horrible evil person? Or Walt Disney? What about nestle apple amazon etc etc etc.

At the least let’s not act like it’s anything new to find the major franchises and corps of the world aren’t problematic cuz most are

rancid token
#

Seuss and Disney are both dead, is the difference

#

Same with Lovecraft

#

They're not actively doing bad things anymore

trail nest
#

Zuckerberg is a lizard person, and we still use fb

quartz lake
#

blobglareno k well if u think ur making a difference boycotting a video game from a franchise that extends far beyond one billionaire at this point go ahead. But it’s ok for ppl to enjoy and love the franchise and disagree with their political messages

rancid token
#

Nestle and another large corps are a different ballgame entirely because it's near impossible to actually divorce yourself from giving them money

#

You know the whole point of a boycott is to get a bunch of people together so it does make a difference, right

quartz lake
#

The game was made by video game developers over a franchise that is probably owned in part by at least hundreds if not thousands of people/employees

#

I hate bezos and think he’s a bad person but I work at amazon

rancid token
#

They already got paid for their work

quartz lake
#

It’s not that deep. Ppl really are so dramatic thinking they’re making a difference when they aren’t. They just want something to be mad at. If you care, actually do something to help the trans community

rancid token
#

Plus, yeah not a huge fan of the writing team on this one either

I ain't mean to start all this I just wanted to say I wanna play funky wizard game squirtooh

at this point you cannot say 'funky wizard game' without this immediately happening dusa

Surely there’s a good magic based game/rpg out there

I mean HL does look like the best depiction of hogwarts at least in a game. I just found the game lacking any character/soul. Felt lifeless

#

folks...
i know im 11 years too late, but it's about time i said...
i'm sorry

#

to dark souls 2

#

it's my... third?
fourth attempt?

#

and it's the first time i'm actually enjoying it

#

it just clicked for me - just today
now i get what it's trying to do and BOI
with a right mindset... it's a wonderful game
brilliant, daring but still deeply flawed and misunderstood

#

it's a weird feeling
it took me 11 years to figure out what genre this game even is
cause it sure as 💩 isn't an action-RPG like ds1

mystic wave
#

What is it then

twin yarrow
#

Is it a rog...

mystic wave
#

...ite?

fathom juniper
#

no no - hear me out
DS1 was a full on action RPG in every sense of the word
sure - the RPG mechanics were robust enough to allow you a plethora of weird builds, but you could offset your lack of stats by pure reflexes
you could cancel out of attack animations earlier by dodging - giving you some leeway after poorly timed attacks, healing was fast, and you could always improve your dodge whenever you wanted by just... stripping naked PES_Lul
even if you didn't have the stats to do proper rolls with your current setup

#

the worlds was unique, the map was interconnected and stacked vertically like a hamburger
it was a single, uninterrupted journey

#

and here comes in DS2...
with combat that - at first - seems way clunkier
attacks are slow, you have to wait for almost every animation to finish, can't panic dodge the way you used to, estus animation is 3 times slower while healing itself is like... 10 times slower
you have to be way more thoughtful during combat, every swing has to be calculated and deliberate

#

there's a way bigger emphasis on your stats now - what in ds1 was always available and one click away (fast dodging with massive iframes by taking off your armor) now is dictated by lots of different stats

#

so it's more RPG than action now

#

that combined with a little bit more "generic" fantasy - with dwarfs and what not
and a worlds map that throws a big ole pile of different, separated "zones" at you which you can finish and forget

#

way more gear and a metric truckload of consumables that give you all sorts of buffs...

#

with all that in mind it just clicked for me...
it's less of an action-RPG and more of a dungeon crawler

#

god, i could win a gold medal with those mental gymnastics

#

funny thing

#

it's the opposite for me

fading forge
#

and I didn't feel like any gear was really helpful unless it was boss gear

#

but ds2 was different

fathom juniper
#

like - in ds1 some bosses can wreck me no matter how well prepared i am

#

further proving that your stats don't matter all that much

#

and i finished this game like 4 times and i know it rather well

#

on the other hand - in DS2 im really well prepared and i died to a boss...

#

once

#

and im like halfway through the game PES_Lul

#

further proving that preparation is king in ds2

fading forge
#

first souls game I played was ds3 and I got like all the way past the villiage with all the fat witchs and peasants. I forget the name without a single death

#

which is ridiculous

#

I can't even begin to explain if it was skill or luck

fathom juniper
#

both, probably

fading forge
#

I would like to say a combination of both but I know definitely some situations were luck

mostly basic grunts screwing me over

I beat like

4?

lets say 4 bosses

We live in a society where consoles unironically have more raw horse power than built PCs

We live in a society indeed.

# polar dragon We live in a society where consoles unironically have more raw horse power than ...

Not necessarily.
Console versions of games have the luxury of running on a very specific set of hardware every time. That allows developers to optimize performance for that specific set of hardware.
On PC, the game must be able to run on a virtually endless list of possible hardware configurations. That means the devs can't optimize the game to nearly the same degree, and to get the same performance on a PC you need hardware many times more powerful than a console.

#

This is the big reason for why it takes so long to port a console-exclusive title to a PC. Console developers get a hardware devkit, and as soon as they optimize their game on that, they are by and large done with optimization.
On PC, it's a lot more complex. You have different manufacturers with different proprietary drivers, and you have users that will try to run your game on a potato and complain about performance.

polar dragon
# eager blaze Not necessarily. Console versions of games have the luxury of running on a very ...

haha don't worry. im being facetious, for the most part.
my computer was built in 2018, the PS5 was released in 2020, right now is 2023. so, in a twisted sense, the PS5 is likely more powerful than my PC, because age. the fact that I can run Returnal, albeit at Low 1080p 45fps is still amazing. I hope my sarcasm shined through.
though I do think that the performance between PCs and consoles, or even DIY PCs and laptops are shrinking. to get the same performance as a current gen console, sometimes you need to resort to used parts to stay competitive. i am basing this on a few LTT videos and Youtube in general. the current market is just rough. period. I mean a 3060 is $400. Like, $400 for a "value" graphic card...

eager blaze
#

Consoles are sometimes sold at a loss to manufacturer

#

They still stand to profit from game sales more than from hardware sales.

#

It's why the Steam Deck is such an amazing value — it's a loss leader (product that loses the manufacturer money that is meant to increase their market share by undercutting competition in the space).

#

I built my PC in 2020 and it was... rough. I got the GTX 1650 Super at a price that did not make my eyes bleed. To be honest it wasn't a bad card. I played Doom (2016) and Wolfenstein The New Order on it with no problem at all, enjoyed the heck out of Hades, too. When the prices finally dropped on GPUs I found a guy who was upgrading from Radeon 6000 series to nVidia 30 series for work and got an ok price on the AMD card. I probably would have stuck with the GTX but I got an absolute steal of a deal on a 32 inch 4k monitor and I wanted to actually play in high res.

I used to pirate all the time but now what I usually do is pirate stuff to see if it is working well on my machine and if it is my cup of tea and if yeah then I buy it, if not then I just uninstall and don't look back

I treat it like a demos thing, most games are too expensive to buy them without knowing specifics

The devs were probably fully aware that their game was going to be pirated. They were also aware that one of their core audiences is cut off from international online game stores, so for the crowd that wants to support them they arranged a VK store release where users could throw their roubles at them without problems.

twin yarrow
eager blaze
#

Despite the online posturing, the silent majority of the gaming public is platform-agnostic and value-oriented.

sand sleet
#

Leaking a game as a marketing strategy is sure is something

eager blaze
#

If you make paying for the game easier than pirating it, people will pay.

sand sleet
hybrid jetty
twin yarrow
#

yes, but that wouldn't explain why they completely removed the game from Steam for russian gamers

eager blaze
#

I don't expect this game to stay exclusive to VK store for very long though.

#

An eventual steam release is probably coming. All opportunities to release on different platforms are opportunities to get back in the news cycle and generate more sales from the previously unreached audiences on these platforms.

twin yarrow
#

also, afaik, many people here are pretty angry about that exclusiveness, and would rather get the game by other means

#

add to that people who already dislike the platform, like streamers for example

sand sleet
#

It was a very expected game and the most people that expect it would like to play it right now not after some time and they have a choice of VK play or piracy and I personally never used VK play or knew it existed but if it's uncomfortable to the point piracy is easier and more reliable they will pirate it and never buy it when it arrives on other platforms because they completed it

sand sleet
#

Till it does

eager blaze
#

Gamers™️ will be vocally pissed off at just about anything, but how they actually spend their money is a rather different story.

twin yarrow
#

VK Play now is desperate for audience and will do anything to attract both consumers and streamers

eager blaze
#

They are taking a page out of Epic Games Store's launch playbook here. Except I doubt they will be able to secure any more internationally notable releases and play the same kind of game that Epic is playing.

sand sleet
#

They're not rich enough probably to give out so much free games as egs

#

And that attracted a lot of people to egs yet it still less popular than steam

twin yarrow
#

VK play is owned by VK
VK is owned by Mail.ru
having enough experiens with mail.ru games, both exclusive and locally redistributed, i'll take the phrase "Mail.ru can give out free stuff" as a joke

i've never seen so much micro- and macrotransaction stuff in the games anywhere else beside mobile gaming

Limbus Company hype !

#

so i just played some dying light in co-op

#

on...
a base ps4 PES_BoiStop

#

there's a great game there

#

but DEAR GOD
THAT PERFORMANCE THOUGH PES_BoiStop

#

it's borderline unplayable at time

#

most of the time it's keeping a mostly stable 30
which is... fine, i guess
but 30 combined with janky gamepad controls during first person parkour is...
it's rough

#

and when there's a lot of stuff happening it goes down to 20 or less and then it's actually unplayable

#

no FOV slider
no rebindable controls
janky collision physics (it's an open world game with parkour AND melee combat - it's part of the course)

#

it's...
not great

#

playing it on a pc with stable framerate and mouse and keyboard controls is objectively the best way

Speaking of kinda wanna buy games

#

I've found Borderlands 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 on a store by chance

#

Not a big fan of FPS, but the RPG elements may make me change my mind...how good are they?

#

I enjoyed Cyberpunk 2077 overall. One could fault it for lacking depth or variety, but in my opinion it makes up for it with story, character writing and a strong core gameplay loop.

#

I have not played Borderlands 3, but the previous games in that franchise were pretty good. Some find their brand of humor grating but I enjoyed it.

I can get my hands on Borderlands 2, on my Vita

#

No idea if it actually performs well there, and I'm hoping that I don't have to depend on the rear touch pad

eager blaze
#

Playstation Vita you mean? Damn, haven't heard about that piece of hardware in a while.

#

Got one about a year and a half ago

eager blaze
#

Borderlands 2 is a solid recommendation from me

signal kayak
#

Nice, will check it out

#

...unfortunately it does rely on the rear touch panel, that's a no no

#

And I'm reading there's lag issues, unreliable touch controls, and the Vita port in general is mediocre at best

#

Tragic

#

don't do it!

#

it's not worth it!

you have your whole life ahead of you!

Don't worry, that didn't last

#

there's so much wrong with that post

#

borderlands PES_BoiStop
borderlands 2 PES_BoiStop
borderlands 2 on vita PES_BoiStop PES_BoiStop PES_BoiStop

signal kayak
#

The latter I get, because I found out that the Vita port is mediocre at best

#

But what's so bad about Borderlands?

fathom juniper
#

oh boy where do i start

#

let me put it this way - i don't have the time or the energy to put it in detail, so i'll just say this

#

i've put an absurd amount of time into this series
bl1, 2 and the presequels
most of the expansions, all of the characters, with multiple MG+ cycles

#

i've sunk over a 1000 hours into the entire series and...
i regret it

#

i want this time back

signal kayak
#

Sounds like the typical looter shooter experience

fathom juniper
#

see - here's the thing

#

as an "experience" - i prefer bl1

#

as a game - i can see that bl2 is better, mechanically, at least
