don't do it, man
it's not worth it
you've got a whole operation snake eater ahead of you
soooo even if i just sniped all soldiers on the bridge
don't
do i really need to crawl on the edges
just shoot the ropes and they're gonna poop their pants
OR just... slide down and 
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 
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 
yet people still spend 70 bucks on today's games
Imagine buying aaa games 🤣
SE execs still wonder why people didn't buy Forspoken nearly as much as they'd wanted
And they'll obviously reach to the wrong conclusions
Forspoken is just such a terrible name 😭
It's actually fitting
She just doesn't shut up
soooo relatable!!
(I didn't buy it btw, my money is better spent somewhere else)
like collection of ceramic cat mugs!
Where's yours fluffy
still searching
Ppsspp is such an unfortunate name for a piece of software
But then again
Maybe it’s just me
I am the kind of person that makes small PP jokes whenever I get 2% pressure points in hades
PPSSPP UI is so good
legit best piece of emulator software ive seen
i even bought the gold version out of respect for the dev
it is so good
Also the Steam Deck is an emulation beast, highly recommend. People have made packages for it that will install emulators for almost every system.
i got enter the gungeon today
that's not duckstation tho
how has that been friend, who is your favorite character so far?
marine
he reminds me of doomguy from the old doom games
should i do one to
yup
he's a direct callback to that
you can even find a BFG
almost all guns in that game are silly
I love Skate 3 ‼️
microtransaction gun
i got a vertibraek-47
ye
well then
there's a whole bunch of doom mods with just straight up DUMB guns you might enjoy
im not playing it unless there is a gun that shoots more doom guys
russian overkill, too many supershotguns, extreme weapons pack
there... kinda is
there's better stuff in there, trust me
Is there such a thing as too many super shotguns? Well that's what were here to find out with a weapons mod that stretches the definition of shotgun before swiftly going mad.

there - this is as close as i'll ever get to plugging my own stuff
i want to learn how to make mods
i do that step every night

is probably the greatest dark souls video ever made
that's it - it's over
pack up and go home - dark souls has peaked
so...
im about to start dark souls 2 again
anyone got any tips on how to make this not a...
completely miserable experience?
Torch only run
"Away! Away!"
yeah the adaptawhatevertheheck
Nooo we dont wanna make it too easy
Oh and learn to hit enemies without autolock early on for a certain boss fight
Anyways since dark souls 2 was mentioned I need to post my clips of a playthrough
Lmao good clip
Man
I’m still in awe just how much work and money went into that intro cutscene
Shame the rest of the game didn’t get the same treatment
I will say dark souls 2 is an interesting game.
The way it works sure is something
Alright
I need a name
So my plan is to make a character that kinda looks like my last ds1 char
But I still need a name
Hmmm
Sir Diesalot and Madam Diesalot are already taken 
Watery tart
I know, it's been uploaded a bunch, but I thought I'd put it on my channel, so y'all know where I stand, lol, jk. Also, it's such a lovely scene, this. If only they'd have a special where Dennis could really get into his collective's inner workings.
Come and see the violence inherent in the system!
TRANSCRIPT:
The Peasant scene from "Monty Py...
No watery tart 😔
Watery fart
Oh my god THERE WAS A BONFIRE HERE ALL ALONG!?

AAAAAAAAAAA

Angy

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
well the good news is that you'll have to keep looking 🔥 🔥
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 me
)
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
When ppl online r given even the slightest opportunity to rage, u can bet they will turn it into a giant scene
probably even with the best spell mechanics
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
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
not only in DS, but in most games with magic
That's what I've noticed, I can understand being angry with with jk, but canceling anybody who plays it? That's a bit much
It’s just a franchise at this point who even cares if it’s attached to JK Rowling
Still puts money in her pocket, is the problem
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
Cope.
If u don’t wanna support it don’t but boycotting a Harry Potter game won’t affect JKR lol
Fr tho
It literally gives her less money to donate to hate groups though?
Most of that money goes to the company
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
Seuss and Disney are both dead, is the difference
Same with Lovecraft
They're not actively doing bad things anymore
Zuckerberg is a lizard person, and we still use fb
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
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
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
They already got paid for their work
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
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 
at this point you cannot say 'funky wizard game' without this immediately happening 
I just won't specify
It does suck that there isn't really a good competitor for that specific niche
It could be any funky wizard game
Closest one being elden ring
Eh
suddenly want to replay magicka
the jank was the fun
There's a good overwatch custom that would make a good wizard game
fqfqasa
Its called 'written in the stars'
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
Sure I more mean the specific "go to magic school" type deal
mages of mystralia was fun
Wizard 101 👍
Demonschool is coming out at some point from Ysbryd
There’s magical vacation on the gameboy advance 
skyrim can be a funky wizard game if you let 'wizard' just mean 'can use magic'
No
people tell me elden ring has more spells than HL
Cuz then I would just play any game like that
but I've not played either
HL only has 16 spells and many of them are generic or feel the same tbh
i do want to play Elden ring
Elden ring has like 5 spells copy and pasted everywhere
then do it. make every game a wizard game, they can't stop you
I can and I will
cyberpunk games only
or super-future games like hyper light drifter
Did anyone play Harry Potter on the gameboy advance? Pretty good gaym
Nah, I played on ps2
shame that almost all communities with magic never develop much further than 19th century
and mostly stay in middle ages
Cuz guns 
Are you ready to learn about shadowrun?
Yes?

Shadowrun is a nice exception
Shadowrun hong kong was pretty darn good
What's shadowrun? Educate me

i love shadowrun hong kong
There's a mission where you are asked to mess up a building's feng shui and so you just like, open drawers, nudge desks and splash some water on the floor
its great
oh hey, shadowrun discussion??
Maybe I'll just play eso
both dragonfall and hong kong are great experiences
I bounced off or dragonfall but I don't remember why
Its missing my main girl gobbet
tho
ESO i surely can recommend
Bought it to play with friends, never played again
not that it goes too deep into magic, but it has a great world to explore and stories to be part of
Oooo did you guys ever play fable
same, i've bought it in 2017 with my friend, we tried it for a week and abandoned
came back in 2021 and here we are, with about 5k hours played up to now
Fable anniversary edition on Xbox 360 was peak asf
Dang
29 weeks of eso is crazy
I've only got about 1k on my highest played game
Ssbu
Is that game good?
I never played any fable
play SKATE 3
From what I remember, it's skyrim x ds
whoever reacted lacks any taste but as expected from HP fans
Harry Potter is a star wars rip off, but I enjoyed the books when I was younger

Hmmm
Hmmm
did i mentioned that Magicka is a game with the best spell mechanics?
well, scrap that
this
is the real deal
👀 riot sylas arpg announced for this year
i still have to finish ruined king tho T.T
This… goddamn game is so raw…
I’ve eaten sushi more thoroughly cooked than this
Ds2 I mean

Which one?
dark souls 2
Raw as in, it looks like it hasn't even been in the oven?
steam is actually offering me a game I have nostalgia about
help
city builders have improved a lot since Pharaoh first dropped
it's so lidl it's unreal
dollar store dark souls
great value pack
twice the bullcrap for half the price
I hear it's the worst of the Souls games
i work with one
so I have no opinion
he swears ds2 is the best
i'm gonna ask him to explain it to me
why
besides majula
it's the first thing he talks about 
yeah i get it
it's pretty
bear seek seek lest and so
whatever
it's the least darksoulsish among other DS games, maybe that's why
but, since there are only three of them
and third and first are pretty similar in many ways
it's 50/50 to like or dislike DS2 above others
Miyazaki haven't worked on it
and there is no Patches there
yeah - in more ways than one
Subway surfers is a roguelike
but.. that's.. not untrue
i, uh...
i'm... having fun?
am i having fun?
or did i just get gaslighted into thinking DS2 is good?
where are you at
idk if the one death or the 2 A ranks were the thing that denied me the S rank and im salty
it's the dying
dying downranks you by a rank
I've had few times where the S amount was equal to the A
I still got an S
oh
i only completed the stage again to check for the post game doors lol
speaking of which i only tried 2 of the ||ones in spectra hub|| and i hate them already
🤝
i wont be touching those things for a while
i still need to check the tower thing anyways
guess who's begun playing supergiant games' games again!!
so happy with myself tbh
still need a more comfortable set-up but it's been fun so far
oh nice which ones are you playing?
|| hades 2 ||
will's gaming in the future
Will keep an eye for that one
does anyone have any game recommendations similar to Hades? Or just any in general? I play on pc and am looking for more games to play
lately ive been playing Valorant and Overwatch
Deep Rock Galactic (coop hoard shooter)
Darkest Dungeon 1 & 2 (turn-based dungeon crawler/base management)
Bastion!!
I'm trying to get used to using an ambidextrous mouse for the attacks, dodging, defending etc
i almost wrote bisexual mouse
the NR200 is one heck of a PC case though
It do be looking cute
crown trick, it's turnbased, but really fun
I mean, are you wrong?
alright
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
What is it then
Is it a rog...
...ite?
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 
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
polygon pls hire me
i can spin any story
iunno 
eh what evs
but yeah darksouls 1 and 3 felt weird to me
like I don't want to say easy
but I got through far more bosses deathless my first time then I had any right of
and I didn't feel like any gear was really helpful unless it was boss gear
but ds2 was different
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 
further proving that preparation is king in ds2
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
both, probably
I would like to say a combination of both but I know definitely some situations were luck
mostly basic grunts screwing me over
then darksouls 1 was similar
I beat like
4?
lets say 4 bosses
no wait 5 im forgetting asylum demon
but yeah 5 bosses before I died once
then the game proceeded to kick my butt royally
Bro: Do you have any hack and slash games to play?
Me: may I recommend this game called Hi-fi Rush?
Bro: ....a little bit more gory ones please
Me: pfft, basic
Lmao
Gritty reality is overrated, euphoric fantasy is where it's at 
That's just because the bosses in DS2 are really bad
Outside of like, a small handful
How about gritty but cartoonistic style?
Idk brah Im just playing Demon's Souls
I'll go to the nearest Cex tomorrow and yoink it
By yoink it I mean bribe the cashier with two 20€ bills, duh 
Cex 
that's where i got my dork souls trilogy too
still has that nasty ass red sticker 
I've got many titles from that store, I mostly go there for the prices and for the older titles
(Isn't that the whole point though?
)
does anyone have any recs like sayonara wild hearts? like a visually striking indie game with a super good soundtrack
bonus points if its focused around music-
The inside is 5 year old hardware so 
But it runs indie and older AAA games at 60+ FPS at least so that's all I can ask for.
New AAA titles don't excite me anymore anyhow. What am I to play? Hogwarts Legacy?
I cant play wild hearts but it sure looks exciting
I put my desktop together in 2014
Speaking of, what is the least demanding specs wise game that you have played for more than 50 hours?
I think FTL is that for me. It can run on phones.
Super long visual novels for me 
Yo for a second I thought you hooked up your 360 game pad to a microwave
...and play doom
most cursed thing about that would be playing doom with a controller
Didn't play it 50+ hours but did play far too much of it : seedship
phones can run some really intense games nowadays apparently
im not really a mobile gamer, but its surprising
though i get what you mean, im just being pedantic. cultist simulator and FTL seem to have really similar requirements too

Playing doom on a kitchen appliance?
That’s fine
Playing classic doom on a controller?
Disgusting
do emulated games count?
if yes, then there is a whole collection of those for GameBoy Advance, Sega Megadrive (Genesis) and NES(Famicom)
if no, then i'd bet on old Starbound or Terraria builds
I have returned from playing a little bit of Returnal
first impression after killing first boss
iirc today or the following days it's MGR's 10th anniversary
and Raiden's VA said they are cooking something special
Yesterday was the big day
And… not much of anything happened
Unless they’re still cooking
Welcome…
TO THE ABYSS
same thing happened to me…
On a clean save revengence run
Welcome…
There’s nothing here but sadness and despair
chess
Doom
darkest dungeon
~360 hours last i checked
playing it as well and yeah, this is me most of the time
so far my impression is that if Hades is a roguelike for people who don't like roguelikes, Returnal is for people who don't like themselves
or masochists
Starting Dark Souls
Time to get skill issue'd
Oh hell yeah boie
Hit me up if you need any help
is Dark Souls as annoying as Demon's Souls?
If by Demon's Souls you mean the PS3 one, no
I'll try it out one day
But I can say that the PS5 one is noticeably more fluid and obviously better graphics wise
too bad the HUD looks liike an unity game
🤷♂️
Blame Sony
Anyone here played Century Age of Ashes?

Lol Returnal is fun.
Thankfully there are pc mods now making it more fun
It is fun but I just got to fourth biome and I'm getting my ass handed to me hard
@signal kayak first time playing dork souls?
First time indeed
bork souls
Though I've already seen challenges from The Backlogs
OH BOI!
i do recommend starting with the catacombs
there's a lot of good gear there to give you a nice head start
also don't forget to kill all the fire keepers for their souls which will improve your estus
try to stay human for as long as you can - especially in anor londo
AND!
and - don't forget that all merchants drop super rare items when they're killed - stuff they're just not willing to sell
don't forget to level up resistance too
Just make sure to kill those that have outlived their usefulness and not earlier I guess then lol
they all outlived their usefulness the second you dropped in firelink shrine
but yeah - if you need a sunbro to help you out with a boss
i'm only one
away
I'll try to do all I can solo, I'm planning on jailbreaking my PS4 eventually and that means no online features 🤷♂️
alright then 
fine 
i'll just wait for you to get close to my level bracket and im gonna invade the everloving crap out of you 
you should've taken my offer
don't come to blighttown tomorrow 
But how can I get invaded if I don't play online? Lmao
well your ps4 isn't jailbroken yet
but yeah
i've spent so much time in blighttown im half expecting miyazaki to come knocking for rent
oh no not the microwave :( it's beautiful alright :(
based. tetris also.
finished my 100% of hades this am, loved the game so much. can anyone recommend any similar games? i also played and 100%'d vampire survivors
have played ror2 but would like something i can play solo. ror2 seems more fun with friends and none of my friends play it
i was looking at curse of the dead gods
my friend just recommended dead cells
How can i defeat the second BOSS of peace walker?

It's the reason why i haven't playing the Game recently
the one in air ducts?
the last section after defeating zanzo
i messed up maccaron assist to throw a boulder and those lasers that follow you 1 shot me lmao
Thats persona?
hi fi rush
same :P
i got the 1st month test of gamepass
i got a bunch of other games installed but i keep replaying this lol
it is one of the games I recommend getting even at full price 
which I did

if you can that is
slowly getting the timing to the samurai parry thing 
wait korsica bullies the samurai dudes lmao
just stuns them
korsica bullies everyone
same
it's the one thing I dislike
cause you can't counter them, you can't dodge through them
also I'm a proud owner of this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/817270982191874081/1077438891834998794/image.png

my least favorite enemy is the fire birds
damn thing eats up all my time in rhythm tower
i still get caught by the laser dudes
Dang it
I wanted to do something in ds2
I had a plan
And…
I forgot what that was
Playing atomic heart so far pretty cool but the gameplay still haven't started I'm in the intro
Metallic ballerinas are so very pretty....
How well does Returnal run on computer friends?
I'm tempted to get it. Just need a little sale :D
I'm happy with it, I've noticed an occasional stutter sometimes but nothing severe
Can I ask your computer specs?
Nvm I found it
The min spec is hella high for 720p wut
Given it was initially a ps5 exclusive I'm not surprised by the system requirements tbh
RX 6600 XT, Ryzen 7 7700X, 32GB RAM
I cry.
We live in a society where consoles unironically have more raw horse power than built PCs
We live in a society indeed.
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.
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...
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.
atomic heart yes.
uh-huh
probably, it's not a big surprise the build was leaked to the torrents several days before game came out
somebody might have something against the devs
Torrents my beloved
Netflix and Denuvo will be the reason kids born after 2006 in western europe will learn how to torrent
EMPRESS: i'll remove Denuvo from Hogwarts Legacy in 10 days. We have to stop gamedevs from using it.
- there are some difficulties, but it'll be done soon
- it is done, expect it to be torrented in several days
meanwhile anon: here's Atomic Heart, broken, bugged, softlocked after 3-4- hours of play. enjoy. [censored] you, Mundfish
pretty strange candidates we have for GOTY this year
bwahahahah
but yeah, people would rather pirate the game than using VK Play
Yesterday I looked AH had 11k seeders 💀
It's the most I've ever seen
Do NOT the AH robots
Do NOT the metal ballerine
Um actually it's not metal ☝️ 🤓
I was born exactly in 2006 but my parents pirated all their life literally even before internet
Insert mandalorian gif this is the way

Also I wonder if the debug console is just there hanging in the menu in the release version just as in the one that was released by anonymous for free 2 days before official release
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
and demos are no longer made most of the time
Before I couldn't buy anything legally anymore I used to pirate anything except games with smaller devs
If it's in steam you can refund it if you bought it less than 2 weeks ago and played for less than 2 hours
yeah I've done that couple times too but some games also now have slow start and take ages before you get into the actual full gameplay and that's where I might be turned off
but it is a great option yeah
Nowadays I don't play much games atomic heart is the first game I played except geometry dash since I last played cyberpunk 2077 I gotta finish that corpo playthrough btw
In cyberpunk the starting missions are so annoying they're so slow and you always know what comes next and there's so little action
What is hi fi rush
Yeah CP I would say has slow start, like I finished the game but if I only got to play two hours and then had to pick whether to keep or not I might not've
someday i'll play it
when it'll be on PC or if by a strange occasion i'll become an owner of Xbox
hi fi rush is a character action/rhythm game
unfortunately, by the trailer my friend was repulsed by flashing pictures and rapid animations
its on pc
its been on pc since release lol
both game pass and steam
pc has game pass too
I've seen a lot of stuff about hi fi rush but the rhythm aspect is turning me off, not sure how big/prevalent it is but I don't like rhythm stuff most of the time
I literally got 2 CSGO revolution cases
sold one for 3.60 euros or so and got MGR
now I sold the other for 2.70 euros
Gaben blessed me
i need to finish hi fi rush too, but i just started pentiment bc i love starting too many games at once and not finishing them 🙃
Well I do like the first mission and there are three variants of them but my main issue is with the heist and the couple missions that come after it well probably I don't like all of the missions before when you are left in open world after the heist except the first one and when you pick up the cool robot that can go invisible from maelstrom
yeah but also I spent like 40 minutes in character creator 😄
lmao i did the reverse, i was playing pentiment then got distracted by hi fi rush
I spent an hour in the character creator every time of three I started a playthrough
Watched a review of hi fi rush I really hate the visual design of it and especially the character visual design and especially of the mc so I definitely won't play it but the concept seems interesting
me when i see colors
Ok I refunded MGR cause I forgot I have it on my alt
I think the leak was deliberate
It happened just days ahead of the official launch, and it was a debug build that didn't have the polish to be fully playable as a standalone product — but the leak did generate media buzz.
Borderlands 2 and 3 is my favorite game
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.
honestly, i wouldn't be much surprised if that's the case
Despite the online posturing, the silent majority of the gaming public is platform-agnostic and value-oriented.
Leaking a game as a marketing strategy is sure is something
If you make paying for the game easier than pirating it, people will pay.
At least 100k people already downloaded the leaked version and I doubt much of them will spend that much money to obtain simply a bit more working version of the game
i mean the atomic heart devs are russian
piracy's not exactly uncommon over there i wouldn't doubt it
yes, but that wouldn't explain why they completely removed the game from Steam for russian gamers
Probably a part of their deal with VK store
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.
considering sooner or later the working one would also be pirated
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
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
Probably like a week
Till it does
Gamers™️ will be vocally pissed off at just about anything, but how they actually spend their money is a rather different story.
VK Play now is desperate for audience and will do anything to attract both consumers and streamers
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.
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
i've never seen so much micro- and macrotransaction stuff in the games anywhere else beside mobile gaming
it was nice back in the day, when Durov was in charge.. even with all the local alternatives, including mail.ru's Myworld
i remember it had built-in flash games
Lack of strict moderation is tbh not that bad because you can find movies one there
on the other hand, i find it better to get banned for your opinion rather than get in the jail for several years
but yeah
forgot mimosa stage is only 1 chorus lmao
got the "get all chorus on S rank on 1 lvl" achievement
fixed but i still messed up the last fight
so...
dark souls 2 keeps on surprising me
somehow
im doing the DLC right now, and...
eleum loyce might just be one of my fave zones in the entire series
hell - ds2 has multiple of those, i'd say
how is this game so good?
i kept hating it for a better part of a decade and suddenly there's this... gem of a game spinning in my ps4 drive for hours each day
a rough gem - sure
but still a gem
Did you rush the adaptability stat? I've heard that doing that stops the rolls from feeling so bad compared to DS1
yeah
it's like a...
a fun tax you have to pay first
like - that's why i said it's a rough gem
this games has flaws
some aspects of it are so RAW it will give you salmonella
and adaptability is... probably the biggest of them
you can quickly fix it, kinda
but it never fully goes away
Guess all it takes to make a good roguelike nowadays is Greek mythology
I can't stop playing returnal
Haven't tried that one, is it good?
I mean, I'm hoping its had a few updates since I last played it but it was average
Returnal is fantastic man
It def scratched that hades itch, gameplay wise, but most importantly lorewise
I reckon it's the part some people just gave up
cause you have to be somewhat perfect at it
the monsoon of hi fi rush
yea I guess you can say that
Hogwarts Legacy CRACKED 💪
omg yes-
plus one of my favorite soundtracks
not before a meltdown by the person cracking it was gonna type cracker at first but
what cracking denuvo does to the mind
omg game is good confirmed
actually proud of this one
also i've really understimated jam combos
they are broken for score
least insane empress moment
got reminded of how much fun the butcher's circus is in darkest dungeon
every so often i forget about it and then come back and play it nonstop
so...
i just got to the legendary
the infamous
gamepad-breaking, game-deleting, eyeball-burning...
the frigid outskirts
in ds2
what tf were they smoking over at fromsoft when they came up with this? 
there clearly were some hard drugs involved with the creation of that zone
and the bossfight at the end
good thing it's optional
i just noped out after just three attempts
Is this in a good way or bad way
have you been to the frigid outskirts?
I've never played a dark souls game
Ah, a fellow newbie to the realms in between
...and I'm pretty sure Bim means that in a bad way 😅
|| its a a loooong walk thru an empty snow field, blizzard makes you cant see a thing, stupid mean horses spawn out of nowhere, running to headbutt you in the back (1shot)....
After that its a difficult boss fight... Halfway through the fight, the boss just calls its twin suddenly 2 on 1.
Oh and if you die, you start over. Fun ||
Ah 
i love the messages there
they're all just
[horse]
[and then]
[horse]
[horse?]
[horse...]
[be wary of:]
[horse]
and then at the end it's just
[bleeding but hole]

someone got really angy at the end there
Horse did nothing wrong ok

but yeah
the ds2 message system is just 
comedy gold
it's less of a message system and more of a...
mildly-offensive graffiti system 
there's one bit in the lost bastille ends with a destroyed bridge
and some comedy genius came up with a super original idea and wrote "try jumping"
"no one's gonna fall for that" - i thought
but i was still curious so i slowly approached it
it turns out that bit of the bridge had some janky collisions and i clipped through the ground and died like few feet before the drop
so i got 
went back there
and wrote [silence, but hole!]
and now im getting free likes every time i log in 
Tbh if you didn't try jumping....then you'd be dying of curiosity until you do 
Even better!
Man
Wanted:Dead is really calling out to me with its jank and cheese. But that price
tbh as someone who didn't like DS, this seems like just DS description in general
I tried it as I usually don't mind these kind of low budget games but the gameplay/controls felt too janky even for me
this is your rain world arc
Ahh i see. Certainly something I have to try myself and see
ive literally been making animated tarot cards theres no going back
one day ill finish #4… not today!
when i get back :)))
I tried on KBM so maybe it's better on controller, I can't say
wait have you played Sayonara Wild Hearts?
Speaking of tarot, jessica dore does wonderful stuff with em
no but should i???
also also yeah theres SO much game left since i bought it with downpour
now i can really get into it
That's Sayonara Wild Hearts?
It's less a rhythm game and more a driving game pop album with QuickTime events.
That's even more interesting
two times i have now been tricked into a battle i couldn't win in the item world
i lost life 3 hrs of gameplay on the first and 2 hrs in the second
i'm big mad
if you like synth pop music you should definitely try it out-
if you like good games, you should try it out 
I should prob replay it again with my headphones on
TV's speaker don't seem to do it justice
Whoot whoot. Just done with Ellie Day 3 on Grounded + in Last of Us Part 2
oh yeah
Holy Crap
octosus traveler
year of our lord 2023 and they really said among us
they should know better
And you guys call me a masochist 
Masochist 
Marci? like the mute girl from the series? she's a champion?
Well, a hero
well i am suffering through ds2 right now...
...of my own volition
and im thinking about doing another deus keks randomizer drinkthrough
too late

or here's a challenge
"take a shot every time you encounter a challenging boss"
takes precisely one shot for fume night

man...
i really, REALLY wanna play modded fallout: new vegan again
like 
this game is such an experience
like - this may sound weird, but...
i'm so glad i made so many screenshots and posted them on my steam profile thingy
like - im going through them right now and i'm feeling such a rush of nostalgia, it's kinda ridiculous
that's how good of an adventure this was
is that weird?
am i the only one?
the only games I take a lot of screenshots for are puzzle games like Obduction
so no
ixion is a bit of an exception
so, uh...
i just watched the "Tommy Tallarico rabbit hole" documentary...
...AGAIN
What is the Roblox Oof? Where did the Roblox Oof come from? Who made the Roblox Oof? Where am I, Roblox Oof? Can you help me?

so basically, i've just learned, that multiplayer for DS1 on PC is shut down for good
i have to express my disappointment, frustration and sadness
guess, our walkthrough with my friend, that has been on hiatus since 2016, will be never completed
unless we'd somehow get remastered version and start all over
wait
FOR GOOD!?
you mean the kekmaster or PTDE?
PTDE

im pretty sure there's a way to kinda force PTDE to connect online via some other servers
they said "it's too old to fix the infamous ds multiplayer issue that came out with ER without rewriting most of the game engine"
however - if you're looking to play with a buddy, go for the kekmaster
because it has a password system that circumvents the soul level brackets limits and sets this sort of private session
and it's a better thing actually
also, our machines have been improved since then, especially hers
so yeah
get the kekmaster
now i only have to get 40 dollars somewhere
it has some issues
the lighting is different, only a few bugs got fixed, there's a nasty texture in dukes archives and...
the archives have a bunch of issues in general
but it also has a bunch of quality of life improvements
it fixed some bugs
has a generally more active community
i hope, at this point there are mods that can fix it
and a password system, which is a godsend - especially on consoles
but i haven't experienced ds2
consider yourself lucky 
i do
i have the opportunity to do so first time somewhere in the future
God
Sinh is such a resource drain
There’s toxic
He breaks your equipment in like 3 hits
Your sword breaks if you hit him like 5 times
Has a whole bunch of hard hitting attacks
AND is resistant to lighting… despite being a dragon
Muh lore 
Dragon Sinh?
More like
Resource Sink 
aaaaaaand ds2 done
5 bosses in barely over an hour

It was…
Better than I expected, worse than I hoped
It’s a…
An MGS2 type of game
And story
I did enjoy it, in the end
Even if there were moments when it was driving me up the goddamn wall
But…
I don’t think I’m gonna replay it anytime soon
Good bye, DS2
You beautiful mess of a game, you 
I hope to never see Adaptability ever again 
But mgs2 story is real!
well besides that
i mean the fact that ||and this is gonna be really hard to explain without spoiling the hell out of both games|| it gets really meta about how similar it is to the first game and then just...
i got spotted for no reason and i just stopped playing for a week
yeah the guards in mgs3 are surprisingly... competent at their job
which is a first for the series
but it is doable
there's a grace period between a guard spotting you and getting the ❗
and it juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust long enough for you to run up to him and body slam him
like - if you're running up to a guard (behind him, i have to add) he will hear from around 5 steps away
Throw animals, throw smokes
and that grace period is just long enough to make those 5 steps and 
animals - yes
smokes - no
unless it's cig spray 
They cough in the smoke and cant alert iirc
yeah but we're not here for efficient pro strats
we're here to have fun with dumb stuff
Fair
Limbus Company hype !
so i just played some dying light in co-op
on...
a base ps4 
there's a great game there
but DEAR GOD
THAT PERFORMANCE THOUGH 
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
wut
yas but not completely
idk
i kinda wanna buy it
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
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
Borderlands 2 is a solid recommendation from me
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
oh dear lord 
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 
borderlands 2 
borderlands 2 on vita

The latter I get, because I found out that the Vita port is mediocre at best
But what's so bad about Borderlands?
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
Sounds like the typical looter shooter experience
