[floral warren]

[polar dragon]

W3 was Warcraft 3?

Yeah that's a major red flag lol

[floral warren]

it was withcer 3

[polar dragon]

Oh lol

Next to Hades and P5R, this is one of my favorite games of last year.

PLEASE. PLEASE play it.

[floral warren]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whIth3Z7o2g

still strikes me as how modular gta v can be

[mystic wave]

Yesss 13 Sentinels the plot twists are crazy good

[wraith cradle]

You are making me 🧂y

As I can't play it for lack of ps4

[empty raptor]

Steal

[wraith cradle]

Something tells me I can find a cheap Second hand PS4 if I tried

But I only Imagine 2 games I would play on it tbh

[mystic wave]

with ps4 you could.... persona 5, god of war, bloodborne, sekirou, god of war.... worth it 😄

[floral warren]

Is the ps5 PS+ collection still on?

gives you nearly 20 games of either launch titles, or amazing top hits

and also god of war

[mystic wave]

hm dont know about ps5. oh ghost of tsushima is great too

[thorny flint]

I haven't owned a Playstation since the second one but I watched a YouTuber play through Ghost of Tsushima and it looks like an excellent game

[floral warren]

GOT looks really awesome, mainly because I know sucker punch can make a game about dolls moving and I'd still like it

got really attached to PS4 Infamous series

[mystic wave]

it's beautiful, and the combat movements are like, realistic. because the motions are performed by martial artists from japan

[floral warren]

the game is too realistic and too good to be true

when I saw it back at E3 couple years ago

[mystic wave]

some screenshots i took of ingame scenery

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EdM2q8VUcAEjsG6?format=jpg&name=large

[thorny flint]

I also saw someone play through Cyberpunk and I'd say Tsushima is the better game

[floral warren]

both different games

[mystic wave]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EdM2oatU4AAXqpE?format=jpg&name=large

[floral warren]

but still , Tsushima is really cool

[floral warren]

this really reminded of the imagery of Dishonored 2

really beautiful scenes

[thorny flint]

They're both AAA open-world games but with different gameplay mechanics

[mystic wave]

i dont have cyberpunk, but my friends who got them on release have burned out from the bugs

[floral warren]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/509693769642278912/790837141151547433/Dishonored_2_Super-Resolution_2020.12.21_-_13.10.37.17.jpg?width=2126&height=1196
im kinda proud of this one

(this is from the game itself)

[thorny flint]

Cyberpunk has higher ceiling than Tsushima but it fails to get that high due to bugs, rushed development, less coherent story

[mystic wave]

that is really nice @floral warren

[floral warren]

ty

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/509693769642278912/790837146042499102/Dishonored_2_Super-Resolution_2020.12.21_-_13.10.24.78.jpg?width=2126&height=1196
and here is one more cuz why not

Id tech engine never cease to amaze me (especially Void engine)

[mystic wave]

13 sentinels is also a very beautiful game

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EjBEIsmVoAEE1Jn?format=jpg&name=large

[floral warren]

I'm kinda inclined to sci-fi cyberpunk artstyle, so you can already guess I'm biased to CP77's Night city

[hybrid jetty]

i thought cyberpunk's story was coherent

[floral warren]

classic storytelling from cdpr , or lackthereof?

[hybrid jetty]

like everyone has their own individual gripes about the game itself but the story is the one thing I've seen pretty much universally praised

[floral warren]

also, congrats for the nitro

[thorny flint]

Some of the endings of Cyberpunk felt drawn out

[wraith cradle]

The one thing I give them merit is that they tied up 2020 plot as best they could

[thorny flint]

And I think it could have gone way deeper into cyberpunk as a genre

[floral warren]

I would more Cyberpunk'd games

[wraith cradle]

Reminder most of the important characters that survive into act 1 are in fact, from the Tabletop

[floral warren]

there isn't enough representation of that (and perhaps without a big F up like CDPR)

[wraith cradle]

Johnny, Rogue, Adam Smasher, the Band love interest, the three Arasakas, all of them are from the tabletop

[floral warren]

ahh yes. CDPR, known for taking existing lore and just make it into a game

[wraith cradle]

The thing is CP77 is a Sequel to the tabletop in all aspects

[thorny flint]

I also feel like the whole corporate versus normal people thing was executed a little too cliche but it's still pretty good

[wraith cradle]

While the witcher deviates completely

[hybrid jetty]

I mean it's executed cliche because the source material basically made the cliche

[wraith cradle]

In fact it deviates in The witcher 2 when all those kings that are still alive in the books bein to get killed

[floral warren]

witcher 3 just plays eurobeats and drifts off very far

[wraith cradle]

Fun fact, Johnny Silverhand was originally literally Not-David Bowie

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/cyberpunk/images/8/86/Char_profile_Silverhand_2013.png/revision/latest?cb=20200718234008

Does this looks like Keanu to you?

[thorny flint]

I would have liked to see more dramatic focus on the corporate angle in the same way that Ghost of Tsushima really puts the morality of being a samurai as the main question of the story

[wraith cradle]

In fact, there is a twist in the game that absolutely isn't if you played the Tabletop

[floral warren]

they pulled a dark souls
where you start from everywhere and roll up into one (or two) endings

[wraith cradle]

||Arasaka son is the ''Good'' guy of the Arasakas||

[thorny flint]

Yeah also the fact that ||the path you choose means almost nothing||

[hybrid jetty]

yeah lifepaths did kinda suck

[wraith cradle]

It was said by internal sources that they cut them off for 2 reasons:

[thorny flint]

Want to be a nomad? Well too bad ||you're going back into the city anyway soon enough||

[hybrid jetty]

||unless you pick the nomad ending where you leave the city for good||

[wraith cradle]

1. It's the most expendable content as most people won't enjoy it 100% as they just play one playthrough

2. Cutting them means reaching Keanu (The main draw of the game) sooner

[thorny flint]

Yeah but ||you can pick the nomad ending from any path||

[wraith cradle]

The flashbacks you get on the corpo path where in fact residuals of that cut content

[hybrid jetty]

yeah I had a suspicion it was to speed up the beginning

[floral warren]

because people didn't finish witcher 3

and they fear that they leave 10% of the game and not finish it

[wraith cradle]

I mean if you are gonna cut something

[floral warren]

still strikes me to this day that they believed this BS

[wraith cradle]

What I find hilarious is that only in the Corpo path you start as Jackie's friend

[floral warren]

oh, wow people won't finish it
how someone's going to justify the sub 70$ that they threw in for a game

[wraith cradle]

Like in the one you are the most detached of the criminal world you are the most close to your criminal buddy

[hybrid jetty]

I don't think the main story being shorter is necessarily a bad thing

[thorny flint]

The story wasn't that short

I think the length is good

[floral warren]

classic cdpr play time of a game

[wraith cradle]

Ubisoft has basically disillusioned me with the concept of long games

You have to make every hour worth it

Omori is a twelve hour RPG and every hour is worth it

Hell, I usually have more fun with 10-20 hour rpgs than 50 hour ones

As they offer a tighter experience

[thorny flint]

That's probably because it's harder to make a 50 hour game enjoyable

[floral warren]

I kinda left Ubi's games behind
until recently with the watch dogs series

[thorny flint]

[wraith cradle]

It may be harder when they do is so worth it

DQ8 can last 100 hours and is incredible

[thorny flint]

Like I'm starting to get bored of Hades around 30 hours

The shame is that it's easily remedied with DLC

[hybrid jetty]

hades is fine i don't want dlc

[wraith cradle]

Borderlands 2 is also mighty fine despite being quite long

[thorny flint]

Like just add a new dungeon and four more bosses and boom you have Hades expansion

Easy money

[floral warren]

up to the devs to decide I guess

[thorny flint]

I'm sure they've been bombarded with pleas to make DLC already

[rancid cove]

and they've already made it fairly clear there won't be any

[thorny flint]

I assume they've done the math and it's not profitable, or they want to move on to something else

[floral warren]

I'm really ok with what they're doing now, wrapping up the game and just 🎵 move on ~~up ~~next 🎵

[twin yarrow]

quick reminder: Dark souls achievement "Die for the first time" have only 91,7% of players

[polar dragon]

what you are saying is 8.3% of players finish the game without dying?

that's pretty good

[mystic wave]

or did not start playing at all

[floral warren]

dang, they surely have a life

[polar dragon]

they have one life yes and they used that one life to beat Dark Soul

[floral warren]

meanwhile, counting how many times until I've killed QueLaag

[polar dragon]

yeah, im being facetious.

[thorny flint]

They're all pro speedrunners

[floral warren]

Vaild

[twin yarrow]

i'm always fascinated, how some of the achievements in games, that you're pretty much guaranteed to get, have less people than expected.. sometimes even around 60% of all the owners

sometimes even less

Sometimes I see the fishing point when I didn't hear the fishing sound

And I start to question if I'm going deaf

[mystic wave]

oh now i think about it, if you wanna clear dark souls you have to die at least once

[thorny flint]

Maybe they all just got up to that part deathless and were like "I refuse to die" so they quit right there

[mystic wave]

lmao

[twin yarrow]

new level of determination

[polar dragon]

that must be it

[floral warren]

perhaps so

or someone really played dark souls from different accounts and platforms so they know what to do, saved every bonfire location by heart

sometimes: I love watching DS3 players coming to DS1 and seeing that you cant walk during Estus

and It's not noticeable , but kinda hilarious

(I don't mean to talk bad about DS3 players)

[mystic wave]

having played the faster games like bloodborne and sekiro it does feel very cumbersome. even monster hunter lets you drink while running now xD

[twin yarrow]

force of habit, and all that

[floral warren]

then play 2

DS2 will make you appreciate walk drinking even more

[twin yarrow]

i used to make random shots in BB, forgetting i don't have a shield

[wraith cradle]

@eager hamlet Ended buying Shining Resonance 🤣

I was bored

[eager hamlet]

Whomst'd've

Oh, you

Well, so far its a perfectly reasonable JRPG

[wraith cradle]

I bought that an Airborne kingdom with the coupon

[eager hamlet]

Im pretty sure I already know where the plot is going, but it plays well, there is a decent amount of exploration, and the music is nice

[wraith cradle]

I need games for January

Good to know

[cosmic vine]

You know could you played other games that you have not finished playing.

[polar dragon]

I can't finish Shadow of War

It gets too samey after a while.

[twin yarrow]

you mean, playing something from huge steam library, that was bought and never started?
how is that possible

[floral warren]

there's these games that you can't finish it , just because

[twin yarrow]

like skyrim

[cosmic vine]

For me i been playing stardew valley I think I get trap in the gameplay

[mystic wave]

feel like that about assassins creed

[floral warren]

here I am being ironic to myself : but I finished Witcher 3 2nd dlc a couple weeks ago

[wraith cradle]

I actually have finished 90% of my SP steam library

[cosmic vine]

Nice

[twin yarrow]

reminds me that i have to play Witcher 3 someday

[wraith cradle]

SP, meaning Singleplayer Games

[twin yarrow]

it has been released 5 years ago and still a new game for me

[wraith cradle]

I want to try Battlefront 2 campaign someday

when I finish these 2

[cosmic vine]

For me i have not finished playing stardew valley, chaos child, victor vran, assassin creed odyssey, sekiro shadow die twice, hades, divinity original sin 2, code vein and more

[twin yarrow]

well, most multiplayer games can't be finished for various reasons

[rancid cove]

for anyone who mist it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFkjKq7tb9g

[floral warren]

1.they cant be finished

[twin yarrow]

that preview though

[cosmic vine]

Hm speak of games that can't be finished no man sky. I hear that game is endless

[twin yarrow]

technically, it's not

like Spore, or Starbound

it just takes centuries to finish

like, real-time centuries

[cosmic vine]

I see

For me i have watch the no man sky gameplay. On YouTube. It looks nice.

But it doesn't have alot combat.

So I decided to not get it

[twin yarrow]

reminds me the times, when it has been first released.. CP77 has been pretty nicely met comparing to NMS

[floral warren]

^

[wraith cradle]

NMS is more like you are an explorer and nomad

[cosmic vine]

Yup no man sky is travelling to different planet

Which is endless

At least stardew valley have a ending

Same with hades

[twin yarrow]

NMS is all about exploration.. new unknown worlds, noone has ever seen or heard of, probably even devs, and you're literally the first one to see them

[cosmic vine]

Hm

But I guess I just don't like endless gameplay travelling to different planet

Doing the same thing

[twin yarrow]

for me personally, in these kind of games i usually look for some kind of world, where i would want to stay

eventually

and call it home forever

[eager hamlet]

Is steam down for anyone else?

[twin yarrow]

yep

[cosmic vine]

What happens

?

[twin yarrow]

server connection error

[cosmic vine]

I see

[eager hamlet]

Oh good

[cosmic vine]

I been busy doing some drawing project I been working on today

[eager hamlet]

I was worried I mightve been hacked

[wraith cradle]

Let's try airborne kingdoms

[cosmic vine]

Do you think it because too many people are playing cyberpunk 2077 on steam

?

[twin yarrow]

probably it's bc of steam update

[cosmic vine]

I see

[twin yarrow]

or maybe not.. idk if there is an update

steam just updates every time it's being launched

[cosmic vine]

Oh well I guess we have to wait

In the mean time I been planning to draw a loli anime character

I just like drawing cute characters

[twin yarrow]

good thing there is always an offline mode

[cosmic vine]

@twin yarrow nice

[wraith cradle]

Good thing I got egs on the back burner

[twin yarrow]

or that

[cosmic vine]

Good thing now I can read my Manhua book

[wraith cradle]

Later I gotta pretend I'm Belisarius and rebuild the Roman Empire

[cosmic vine]

Fox spirit matchmaker

[wraith cradle]

I'm playing total war Attila: The last Roman

[cosmic vine]

A nice fun comdy book to read

[thorny umbra]

ohh, I almost got that one! it looks really nice, and I usually don't get very interested in city building games (they're neat tho), I hope you enjoy airborne kingdom! 👍🏻

[wraith cradle]

Yeah it was Airborne kingdoms or Ageless

[thorny umbra]

ageless looks neat too 👀 gonna save it on my wishlist for the future I ended up getting Ooblets with the coupon tho, it just seems like such a fun game

[cosmic vine]

For me i now fine with the games I have

On my pc

[graceful galleon]

picked up Synthetik at the last minute

it's brutal fun lol

[rancid cove]

watch the carrion run https://clips.twitch.tv/ThoughtfulDeterminedDugongItsBoshyTime

I just can't get enough of the gameplay

https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/krj524/2020_was_pretty_hard_year_but_we_have_many/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

[eager hamlet]

Honestly I thought this was the weakest year for video games in a long time

[floral warren]

little did we know what games will be released
I mean , doom , half life, ff7r, and Hades

[eager hamlet]

I dont really count Hades is the thing

Because its been in early access for a while

To me its more of a 2019 game

[floral warren]

not a lot knew about it (including me ) until very recently

[eager hamlet]

Idk about that, but its ultimately personal opinion

FF7R was a decent game, but not like, that impressive if you know what I mean?

Even was only my second-favourite JRPG that year

And ther ewere a couple of decent games otherwise but like

Nothing that really stood out to me

No Disco Elysium or Outer Wilds

Not even a Crosscode

[floral warren]

hey, nothing in 2020 was standing out

no E3, no blizzcon , no PAX

no gamescon

I'm kinda grateful for the games that we've got

[eager hamlet]

True, Im not faulting gamedevs

Certainly not after the crunch a lot of them had to go through

[floral warren]

certainly not

[eager hamlet]

Heres to hoping 2021 is better

It certainly has more games Im interested in

[floral warren]

ow2 and bioshock 4 (if that's a thing)

and deathloop too

[eager hamlet]

I didnt even like OW1 tbh

For me its, lets see

Ys IX, Tales of Arise

Rise

Returnal looked interesting

Possibly AA7

Deathloop, yeah

Maybe GG Strive

Forbidden West, ruined king

[floral warren]

ruined king too

gotta see what riot forge can do

I kinda want OW2 for one thing: the hyped up "campaign" mode

Because I hate the multiplayer mode

[eager hamlet]

Oooh, maybe the Sands of Time remake

[wraith cradle]

If they learned from Battlechasers nightwar tho

[eager hamlet]

Nier Replicant remaster

Granted not a new game but

[wraith cradle]

That was a great game put down for excessive grind and lack of group xp

[eager hamlet]

Oh and Disco Elysium with voice acting

[wraith cradle]

*More voice acting

[eager hamlet]

Im still shocked they got David Mitchell for that

[floral warren]

Is Disco Elysium close to the SGG formula or not?

[wraith cradle]

Lol no

[floral warren]

Kinda caught my attention a while back

[eager hamlet]

Nope

[wraith cradle]

DE is an adventure game where the dialogue carries the game

[eager hamlet]

Its a RPG in the most literal sense

[wraith cradle]

VERY well written dialogue

[eager hamlet]

You walk around, interact with things and do skill checks

Its entirely about its writing

Which is strong

[floral warren]

so not linear per se

[eager hamlet]

Its relatively linear, you do have side stuff though

But yeah its just really densely written

[wraith cradle]

Seriously. No one mentioned Hitman 3 as a 2021 game?

[eager hamlet]

I have never played a Hitman game

I dont think I will

[floral warren]

Never played Hitman series , I'm not that Stealthy to play Hitmans

I'm still going to give it a shot

[eager hamlet]

I like stealth games, but I play them non-lethally usually

Which I dont believe is an option with Hitman

[wraith cradle]

Hitman is more social engineering that stealth

90% of the time you are in fact not hidden

[floral warren]

I see you, low chaos dishonored ending player

(I hate the clockwork soldiers mission with a burning passion)

[eager hamlet]

Oh right

I still have to play the other Dishonoreds

[floral warren]

you haven't played two yet?

[eager hamlet]

Nay

Only 1

[wraith cradle]

Oh Atelier Ryza 2 too

[eager hamlet]

Ive got a hell of a backlog though

So many JRPGs

[wraith cradle]

Plus Edge of Eternity

[floral warren]

you need to

[wraith cradle]

Resident Evil VIII

[eager hamlet]

Right now the goal is to finish Shining Resonance Refrain

In time to play Ys IX

[floral warren]

Imagine you can face enemies and still knock them neutralized

[wraith cradle]

Warhammer darktide too

[long harbor]

i'm playing vampire the masquerade bloodline and i've been stuck in a creepy level for 4 days because i dont wanna go through it alone :(

I've seen news that the dude behind Dishonored: Harvey smith, is working on a game with some dishonored and prey devs

[dire condor]

ooh nice

arkane are great, I'm looking forward to deathloop

[floral warren]

sadly, he's not working on deathloop

but still i'm equally excited

[dire condor]

yeah a new title sounds good too

[hybrid jetty]

isn't the game called weird west or something like that

or is that a different "from the creators of dishonored and prey who do not work at arkane anymore"

[dire condor]

weird west is different

[wraith cradle]

Breaking news: Saito files a RO against Yoko Taro

[fallen sky]

finding myself some new games here https://www.polygon.com/gaming/2021/1/1/22175264/best-indie-video-games-2021-preview?utm_source=pocket-newtab-intl-en

[eager hamlet]

Could be 50 or so if you go completionist

Oh hold on

[floral warren]

long enough

[eager hamlet]

Ys IX Demo is available apparently?

[floral warren]

I dont see it

and also crappy pc friendly too

[eager hamlet]

Gimme a sec

Oh its a demo on PS4

[floral warren]

[eager hamlet]

Uh

Ys VIII should run well on a crappy PC

But Crosscode definitely should

[floral warren]

If my pc can run all SGGames, It definitely should run Crosscode

I need to finish my backlog of games , or lackthereof

doom eternal and invisible inc. (+ replaying Watch dogs 2 why not)

[eager hamlet]

Oh great

Sony somehow screwed up Remote Play again

[fiery cobalt]

hows tf to beat blood starved idiot in bloodborne

[floral warren]

Do you have an item that's called something along the lines of Blood

if so, throw it to lure them into it and then you can kill it

[fiery cobalt]

throw the lure at the boss?

[polar dragon]

Haha that's where I raged quit Bloodborne also

[forest stirrup]

more like at a wall

[polar dragon]

I really wish they port Bloodborne to PC

[floral warren]

what..

imma screenshot that

[fiery cobalt]

someone said a bad word

LMFAO

[forest stirrup]

lol

[floral warren]

yes they did

[fiery cobalt]

im weak

[forest stirrup]

probably will never happen even though i also wish for this

[polar dragon]

yeah, can't have male chicken on this vegan server

[forest stirrup]

60fps bloodborne would be such a blessing

[polar dragon]

no ccky, no ccktail

[fiery cobalt]

poison mechanic blows

[polar dragon]

yeah just so I don't have to buy a PS4 to play it.

I like Dark Souls but hate the setting

Bloodborne got me interested because the setting is cool

[forest stirrup]

hate the setting huh

[fiery cobalt]

well, I may attempt to use the roostertail

[forest stirrup]

i mean, dark souls includes a lot of different settings

[fiery cobalt]

but I only have so many

so maybe save it for the end of the fight

cvuz I can get it to like

1/4 health

[fiery cobalt]

thios boss

boutta make me lose my mind

[floral warren]

get a fire upgrade on your weapon

[rancid cove]

blood starved beast almost made me drop bladebarn

[fiery cobalt]

like

put fire paper on it?

[floral warren]

on your sword...

[fiery cobalt]

ok I propose to you: what if I die and lose all my fire paper

[floral warren]

hmmm, I'm not accepting that one , chief

[fiery cobalt]

aii lets try

[floral warren]

mainly because I asked someone how to beat the boss

[thorny umbra]

hey hmm, anyone here knows of the game Crying Suns? 👀

(it's going to be free on epic games and it seems interesting but I always like to hear/see from folks that actually play it)

[fiery cobalt]

ty for fire paper

it worked

[floral warren]

np

[fiery cobalt]

i proceeded to die to its poison

while typing thank you

[floral warren]

absolute

[wraith cradle]

Gonna replay Hitman 2

To prepare myself

[floral warren]

I really need to check out hitman
do you recommend starting with 1

[wraith cradle]

With one you mean Hitman (2016) then yes

[floral warren]

^

not prepared for '16ing every game I play but yeah, Hitman '16

[fiery cobalt]

doom '16

[floral warren]

DOOM '16 YOU MEAN?

[fiery cobalt]

[eager hamlet]

Ok so

[floral warren]

E1M1 STARTS PLAYING

[eager hamlet]

I have checked the demo of Ys Ix

I am even more excited now

~~I'm not ready to boot up a ps4 that was exhausted from too much online games ~~
guess I'll send the request to download it whenever I turn it on

[rancid cove]

y six

[fiery cobalt]

defeated bsb and now am lost

there doesnt seem to be anything after bsb

[eager hamlet]

Its just

So good

[rancid cove]

yeah busby is just for unlocking the optional dungeons

[eager hamlet]

They really upped their game on this

[fiery cobalt]

i have no idea where im supposed to go now

I thought I'd explored everything

[floral warren]

Congratulations, you have a Dark souls + Victorian era style

[fiery cobalt]

anyone remember this game well enough to direct me

[floral warren]

not me, unfortunately

barely playing Dark souls remastered

[eager hamlet]

Ok so, I highly recommend you play Ys VIII now

And then IX when it comes out

From the demo the gameplay is sick

[graceful galleon]

@fiery cobalt bloodborne right? Explore the cathedral

[fiery cobalt]

aH

a door opened

[north wolf]

Yep. After Blood Starved Beast a door opens in the Cathedral

Go through there and make your way to a deep hole. Then carefully drop to the bottom

There is also a secret area there

[polar dragon]

Haven't played DS but aren't they just medieval dark fantasy world?

[north wolf]

After dropping, kill the monster and make your way through the village

Then just ride the elevator and unlock the gate for a shortcut

Defeated ||Martyr Logarius|| today

Also made my way to ||Micolash||

Doing a Saw Cleaver run 😄

Anyway, did anyone here play OMORI?

I wanna buy it but want to see some opinions on it

[fallen sky]

a few have! such as albino, and misty, and someone else

i will not ping because people get upset at pings. reasonable and understandable

[north wolf]

Oh ok, thanks anyways 😄

Finished GRIS a few days back

It's a beautiful game

[floral warren]

Wallpaper-material game

[north wolf]

Yes

[fallen sky]

ah yes aggy likes gris

[floral warren]

was the most different experience i've ever played

like very far from the others

[north wolf]

It's also the only game that made me cry

[floral warren]

count me in

GRIS ending was.... ||something else||

[north wolf]

It was a roller coaster for my emotions

I started smiling, then tears started to flow, then crying and then more crying, then smiling while tears dropped

It was... Beautiful

No game ever did that

It's a masterpiece to me

[floral warren]

why is it that a singing girl(s) can make me ||tear up|| twice?

[north wolf]

So much emotion without any words

[north wolf]

Maybe because she found her ||voice|| after losing it, just like she had to find herself and peace in her broken world

I love the symbolism

[floral warren]

huh , awfully similar to a game I've played

(it's not bad)

[north wolf]

I play a lot of indie games lately

[floral warren]

a girl who lost her voice, and presumably|| found it in her broken world ||

[north wolf]

Hylics, Hylics 2, Dujanah, Beeswing

[floral warren]

I never played a lot of indie games
caught on SGGames

[north wolf]

Indie games are the best

Hollow Knight is my favorite game

Hades is my favorite Roguelite

[fallen sky]

i love indie devs so much. i've said it before but they often offer good graphics and great music

[floral warren]

I'd really suggest you play the other games from SGG

I can assure you one or two will get your attention very nicely

[north wolf]

They also put so much time and love into their games

[north wolf]

I've got my eyes on Transistor

[floral warren]

You read my mind!

(or my text too)

[fallen sky]

yessss. i think the second last indie game i played was inside. amazing. i've never played a better game

[north wolf]

Inside is awesome

My top 3 indie games of 2020:
3. Death and Taxes
2. Hylics 2

1. Hades

[fallen sky]

death and taxes sounds familiar

[floral warren]

Why does that look like papers,please

I've played and watched so much of that game

[north wolf]

Well it plays kinda the same

But i like it

Actually, I'm working on translating the game 😄

[floral warren]

now you've caught my attention

[north wolf]

Since some people just don't speak english that well

[floral warren]

which language are you going to translate it to?

[north wolf]

Czech

[floral warren]

interesting

[north wolf]

There are also other languages in the work

I just love to help

Anyways I should go, I'm getting super tired

[floral warren]

alright

[north wolf]

Byye, have a great rest of the day

[floral warren]

likewise

[north wolf]

It's 1 AM here 😄

[fallen sky]

sleep well!!

[floral warren]

3 am

[north wolf]

Thaaanks

[floral warren]

dw im going to be out now

[twin yarrow]

btw, according to Quantum Break, 5 Jan 2021 should've been the end of time

guess, since we're still alive, 2021 is not so bad this far

[wraith cradle]

You liked GRIS. Play RiME

[hot solar]

@polar dragon, TW101 is by the same developer as Bayonetta.

Basically, you play as a group of 100 superheroes called the Wonderful 100 who can combine into weapons called Unite Morphs that you summon by drawing the appropriate shape with the right stick (think Ōkami), and you fight a group of alien invaders called GEATHJERK. It’s a stylish-action game like Bayonetta, and its camera is isometric like Hades’s.

[polar dragon]

Yeah I just looked it up online.

So is it a remake of an older title?

[hot solar]

The Wonderful 101 originally released on Wii U in 2013 and bombed due to lack of advertising, a low install base, and critics not “getting” the game. The Wonderful 101: Remastered is essentially a re-release with some minor performance adjustments for Switch, PS, and PC that’s intended to give the game a better chance at success. Nintendo still owns the IP, but they allowed Platinum to self-publish the remaster on multiple platforms, which is pretty cool.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wc-vKszMtH4

This is a really good combo video that shows off the game’s mechanics pretty well. I’m fairly close to the creator of the video (I’m credited at the end as “special thanks”) —he’s a very talented player, and I love what he’s done for the game.

I’ve 100%-ed it, but I’m working on getting the highest rank on every level across every difficulty. It’s very fun.

The video shows off every main weapon in the game except Unite Bowgun; it only appears as Unite Immorta, which is basically its super form.

[coral herald]

Is there any mmorpg game with a slavery system in it ?

[polar dragon]

that's a very specific question wth

[coral herald]

I've been looking for one since forever ?

[digital flax]

what the...

[hardy onyx]

[digital flax]

sims 4

[coral herald]

no

[digital flax]

oops wrong

but yes sims 4 is your best bet

[coral herald]

mmorpg

[woven breach]

I bought Doom eternal

[digital flax]

pogg

[polar dragon]

Closest thing I can find to a slavery system game

https://store.steampowered.com/app/294100/RimWorld/

[digital flax]

Doom eternal is one of my fav games it's so good

[woven breach]

the intro is a bit hard, but I sink my time and eventually killing demons left and right

and then

||I met a marauder||

[polar dragon]

MMORPG with that system would be quite... unlikely

[coral herald]

Can you describe the slavery system in it ?

[digital flax]

||Agony he doesn't get any easier ||

[woven breach]

I know I need to time my shots

but in a heat of combat

I can't

[digital flax]

i think there is really good way of killing him in like 3 shots

but i'd assume it would take master timing

[woven breach]

yee

welp

[digital flax]

what mode u on?

[woven breach]

hurt me plenty

[digital flax]

Fair fair

[woven breach]

I tried the easy mode cause why not

it bored me to death

hurt me plenty is a sweet spot

[digital flax]

i think ultra violent was my sweet spot

the bosses in ultra violent can be a bit of a pain but other all it's a joy

[woven breach]

though I find some of the mods are not necessarily useless

just

I rarely think of them

example Machine gun's micro missile and shotgun's rapid fire

[digital flax]

yeah true, but there is godly ones

that make a really good combo

[woven breach]

you know what gonna sink my time again

[digital flax]

[timid tiger]

Has anyone played Starcraft

Starcraft 2 is ass tho

[hardy onyx]

I loved playing Starcraft, but probably been 20 years since I last touched it

[polar dragon]

Excuse me?

Sounds like you are picking a fight

[thorny flint]

My impression from that game is it wasn't half-bad

But not the genre-defining game that Starcraft 1 was

[polar dragon]

But SC BW was never genre defining imo. It started esports, not RTS.

SC II esport scene was great, until very recently when Blizzard decided to drop the support especially in term of balancing.

[thorny flint]

Yeah but that's what got the vast majority of people into RTS

[polar dragon]

Anyone have recommendations for other fun rogue-likes/lites? Preferably with a good spell/cast/magic system

[rancid cove]

i like Slay the Spire a whole lot

[graceful galleon]

hmm

wizard of legend?

I recently picked up Synthetik and it's really really good, the backdrop is more of a scifi though, with AIs, guns, etc

[rancid cove]

weird tech nonsense can count as magic

[graceful galleon]

yeah it could be

[noble fog]

skul the hero slayer

[fervent gyro]

Slay the Spire is really good to play from time to time. It's a deckbuilding rogue-like with different builds to choose from for each character (4 in total). Full run is around an hour.

[rancid cove]

mr bones is right on the line of ironically vs unironically amazing

Capcom, please bring gore magala back

[rancid cove]

they HAVE to

it's incredibly popular, they failed to put it in iceborne, this Rampage thing sounds an awful lot like Frenzy,

[ivory ember]

Anyone know if doom eternal is worth it?

[rancid cove]

if u liked 2016 but thought it could use more bonkers movement tech, then yes

[ivory ember]

He gets a sword in eternal right?

[rancid cove]

ya

but the game also kinda demands u git gud at the bonkers movement tech

like, that's the major change

[ivory ember]

Demands as in like you need to know how to washdash in melee or need to know as in you need to know how to use cast in hades?

[rancid cove]

somewhere in between, a little closer to the cast end but mostly dead center

well, ok, u dont have to MASTER the movement stuff just to reach crebits, but for higher difficulty or finding secrets then yeah kinda

[ivory ember]

Okay so exactly like cast. Not needed but really helpful

[rancid cove]

yeah, like, it's not a prohibitive skill floor, it's just they clearly put a lot of work into it and intended to get a lot of mileage out of it

[ivory ember]

How many hours did you get out of the game?

[rancid cove]

i didn't acualy play myself, but vinny's playthrough took about 12? hours, maybe 15

[ivory ember]

Yikes only 15ish hours

[rancid cove]

and famously, vinny's exactly good enough at every game to make you feel like a dumbass for how long you spent on it

[ivory ember]

And it's a $60 game

[hybrid jetty]

i played it on ultra violence and first playthrough took me a bit longer than 15 hours

it really shines on repeat playthroughs at higher difficulties imo

[whole fern]

@wary kestrel You just threw me back to the Binding of Isaac days with that Mega Stan comment

[wary kestrel]

lmao

i havent played the game for a few years, heard a new update will come in November

[whole fern]

It'll come. Eventually. Sometime.

i think i might want to replay Spore

It's suspiciously close to April Fools'.

[woven breach]

anybody tried MHRise demo?

it's so gud

[wary kestrel]

Oh, so was March

My bad

Right now I’m just waiting for silk song

[polar dragon]

On Steam page recently it says release date on December 31st.

But then they said it was a place holder for a teaser trailer, which itself got delayed xD

[wary kestrel]

Yes, I don’t remember them mentioning an update date

[polar dragon]

I'm bracing myself for more item bloat.

Please Edmund, no one wants more plan C

Please put in something that is actually useful.

[wary kestrel]

add in a mom transformation

[rancid cove]

i might seriously main HH for the first time based on the demo

[woven breach]

I haven't tried every weapon yet

but I've played switch axe

wow

I never thought they'd cut down the movement value

[rancid cove]

i'm banning myself from using charge blade this time, it's been my main weapon for 4 games running

[woven breach]

it ain't much but very noticeable

funny, I play every weapon

[rancid cove]

i keep trying to take up other things, i just keep coming back to CB

[woven breach]

it's always one weapon for story, everything else in endgame for me

I wanna try HH

later

prob

[graceful galleon]

where my swaxe gang at

I'll probably main GL for Rise, i had a blast (pun not intended) fiddling with it in Iceborne

[woven breach]

Yoooo swaxe gang

I think I'm gonna main bow

But idk

[forest stirrup]

Bout to dual main SA and HH like I do in every game

[rancid cove]

tbh all I know right now is that I'm really gonna try to not use CB at all

[graceful galleon]

Tried doing that with swaxe. I just cant

Ended up using a lot more swaxe when iceborne dropped

Those new moves were godsend

[woven breach]

Swax on iceborne is prob the best in the franchise

Power axe playstyle is really fun

[graceful galleon]

yeah finally axe mode is viable

[rancid cove]

the problem with CB is that there's nothing in the game more satisfying than getting a KO by guard pointing a monster charging at you

[woven breach]

Lance now put a lot more reward with guard timing

[forest stirrup]

Effort put into making SA axe mode viable feels a lot like their apology for the demon riot disaster from gen and GU

Even though I still mained it then, thank god that's dead now

[rancid cove]

arguably best run, definitely best game, of agdq 2021 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uOmRm7n54w

[graceful galleon]

Luigi Time at AGDQ!

[zealous fossil]

Rise is hella sick

[stoic flume]

What's a good format for recording through obs?

[floral warren]

video format you mean?

[stoic flume]

yeah

messing around with a bit of obs atm

[floral warren]

MP4 because space and quality

afaik

[stoic flume]

I tried flv and it took up so much space

[polar dragon]

Mkv is also good for interruption protection

[floral warren]

Barely happens (but good regardless)

also if you have a new gen Nvidia card (16/20/30 series ) NVENC New is better

[stoic flume]

I've got a 1080 ti

and 32 gigs of ram

I've been wanting to upgrade to 3000 series but well....

can't get the dang card

[wary cedar]

Unlucky

[stoic flume]

also apparently my motherboard is 3.0 anyways

[floral warren]

1080ti ? that's still fine

[stoic flume]

so I'd have to upgrade that to

[wary cedar]

Doesn't matter

[stoic flume]

yeah 1080ti does the job for now, runs great

[wary cedar]

No dude

Trust me

[stoic flume]

3080 cards are 4.0 so my motherboard wouldn't support them

[wary cedar]

Pcie 3.0 vs 4.0 foesn't matter

[stoic flume]

at least so I've heard

[floral warren]

It wouldn't use the advanatage

[wary cedar]

I have a 3080

[stoic flume]

well why upgrade if I don't get the advantage then?

[floral warren]

kinda like a SATA 3 on a SATA 2 port

[wary cedar]

It doesn't make a difference

[floral warren]

or USB 3 on a USB 2

[wary cedar]

Yes but no

Well yes

[stoic flume]

oh so not like a make or break type thing?

[wary cedar]

Dude

[floral warren]

certain stuff

like new PCI-E NVME SSDS

But for GPUs, I can't really say for sure

[wary cedar]

99% of the time the 3080 doesn't use enough bandwidth to be bottlenecked by pcie 3.0 rates

[floral warren]

mainly because what you're doing isn't a computational work

it's graphical

[wary cedar]

But even during those 1% moments of high loads, it'll only make a few percentile units difference anyway

So badically no

[stoic flume]

yeah I'd mainly want it for games

I really want to game in 4k

[wary cedar]

For 3080 and below, it dosn't matter

[stoic flume]

and raytracing and all that good stuff

[floral warren]

Either 3090 or next gen

RT is still a bit early

kinda like 2017 VR games

[stoic flume]

knowing my luck I'd pre-order next gen and it'd have some awful issue

[floral warren]

cool, but early

[wary cedar]

Then your best bet is probably one of the rumored 3080-ti's

[stoic flume]

3080 ti will probably happen

[floral warren]

There's a few RT supported games regardless

[wary cedar]

There's actual rumors now, not just speculations

[floral warren]

I'm guessing you're not a competitive player , are you ?

[wary cedar]

Ye, ofc. But, the performance of a 3080 in traditional rasterization is fenominal anyway

Spelling is hard after drinking, alright?

[floral warren]

I haven't been caught up lately with RT games

[wary cedar]

I mean

[floral warren]

yeah , I'm not minding spell problems (not a native anyway so why bother)

[wary cedar]

To me, cyberpunk and minecraft are thr main ones

[wary cedar]

Nice

[floral warren]

I have a 1650, and CP77 is just making my pc a last gen console

[wary cedar]

Haha, ouch

[broken smelt]

3080ti has been confirmed by asus listing the card already

so has a 3060 skew

[floral warren]

didn't optimize it yet, so I'll do the Geforce Experience and check it out

[wary cedar]

I don't get the 3060 one tho

[broken smelt]

there's rumours of a 3050 and a 3050ti hitting the market

nvidea wants to compete with the innevatible 6700/6700xt

[wary cedar]

Why on earth would a 3060 need 12Gb of Vram if a 3080 only has what was it, 8 or 10?

[broken smelt]

8

[wary cedar]

Yea

[floral warren]

8, they ain't going to waste that on a xx60

[broken smelt]

Nvidea has killed off their own products before

they will do it again

[floral warren]

they used to split them in half and confuse consumers

3gb one and 6gb one with the 1060

[wary cedar]

Ye

970 had 3.5Gb as well

Well

Tehnically 4

But in practice it was 3.5

[floral warren]

that 500mb made the 970 a bad gpu

slow af

[broken smelt]

so it's not like nvidea haven't had a track record for doing this kind of stuff

[wary cedar]

Since the last half gig was so slow compared to the rest

[wary cedar]

It was still a good gpu for the money at the time tho

[floral warren]

Maxwell was fine back in the day

[wary cedar]

And at the time 1440p wasn't really a thing

At least not mainstream

[floral warren]

1440p was the old 4k

everyone was striving to reach it

[wary cedar]

Y

[broken smelt]

the one thing I find really funny is, nvidea are chasing higher rasterisation performance soon after the whole drama with Hardware Unboxed

[floral warren]

remind me again what they've done with unboxed?

[wary cedar]

Well, see there's a good reason for it

[floral warren]

oh yes, they took his reviews or what?

[wary cedar]

It's because RT isn't implemented in 99.5% of games and they aren't THAT srupid

[broken smelt]

nah, they got an email from nvidea saying they were no longer getting review samples because they where focusing "too much" on rasterisation performance

when RT is still in less than 1% of titles

[polar dragon]

There are rumours that graphics card price is increasing soon

[broken smelt]

and HU have had dedicated RT videos

[wary cedar]

They pulled a mao zedong and told hardware unboxed that he wasn't showing what they wanted him to show so they refused to give him more reviewer samples

[polar dragon]

at this rate a laptop might have more values than your custom PC

[broken smelt]

in the uk absolutely parts are going to increase in cost

[wary cedar]

Scalping but the companies do it instead, weee

[broken smelt]

there's other factors in play here

[wary cedar]

Yeah, ik

It sucks tho

[broken smelt]

mostly related to taxes of importing stuff from china

[wary cedar]

Because hardware already costs so much in my country

[broken smelt]

so laptop prices will also increase

[wary cedar]

I got my 3080 for what's it called

"Base" value

Can't remember the term

Is it retail?

Idk, anyway

Same as nvidias base model graphics cards

And it cost me 9000 sek

Which is equivalent to 1092$

[floral warren]

Ray tracing was Nvidia's Chekhov's gun

and they just say "meh , this dude is really caring about it , and so we're not giving you samples"

[floral warren]

it's not a rumor, it's a reality

even the increase is happening with AMD GPUs too

[broken smelt]

yay more taxes for something that's already taxed a huge amount 🙂

[wraith cradle]

New Dawn finished

Yay

Beaten ||Ludwig the Accursed/the Holy Blade|| yesterday in Bloodborne

It was an awesome boss

Perfectly balanced

[graceful galleon]

nice grats!

that DLC has some of the best bosses in all Souls franchise imo

[north wolf]

Pretty excited for Lady Maria

[graceful galleon]

best boss fight

ever

[north wolf]

I heard that Kos is super hard

[graceful galleon]

he is

i have a confession, i never actually defeat kos

i gave up after 383394586th time

[north wolf]

i had no problem with the game, because I played it once about a half year ago on PS+, then my save got deleted

[graceful galleon]

did you finish it?

[north wolf]

Can't you summon an NPC? I know it's not as great as killing the boss yourself, but I find it still really fun

the base game final boss felt pretty easy after you got out of the DLC area

[north wolf]

yes, but summon had to help me on ||Gherman||

[graceful galleon]

I dont remember if there is/I use npc summon for that fight

cant really find player summon either since I played the game couple years after release lol

[north wolf]

Like my first time i summoned an NPC for ||Ebrietas|| and it was real fun, a few days back I did it again because of the good memory

[north wolf]

Yup, it's hard to find someone. That's why I summon NPCs

[graceful galleon]

the nightmare inducing boss

you made me want to start another playthrough 😆

[north wolf]

Only real problem are the damn lasers

hate those

[north wolf]

lol

[graceful galleon]

Celeste C-side with dance pad up now on GDQ

this is bonkers

[fiery quiver]

This is crazy. Just dropped in the end of that Celeste run

[graceful galleon]

Seriously

Im just watching and I feel more stressed than the guy running it 😂

[fiery quiver]

I'm thinking this would be a good place to post this, but I did a personal top games of 2020 blog on Giant Bomb. Heads up, a Certain Rogue game set in Greek Mythology appears somewhere on this list: https://twitter.com/TRBucket/status/1347895532249886721

@stable kindle I don't want to upset some people here but : || Evelynn supremacy or not? ||

[stable kindle]

i mean i love her and i dont mean just kda, runeterra eve is tasty and i like her lore. i dont play league though, i just indulge lore respectfully from a distance

[floral warren]

I see

[polar dragon]

Seraphine is bae and you can't @ me.

[stable kindle]

does so anyway

[polar dragon]

[floral warren]

she's fine if it weren't for the whole KDA to league shoehorning

[stable kindle]

her champion theme is genuinely nice

[floral warren]

and no, she isn't a sona v2

[polar dragon]

Someone said 8/9 recently released male champions are thirst trap.

[stable kindle]

viego hahahaha

[polar dragon]

With the odd 1 being Ivern lol

[floral warren]

yes, Aphelios appealing for the emos

[stable kindle]

im still not over spirit blossom thresh, who are you, why do you have skin

its so funny

[polar dragon]

Oh yeah ty

[floral warren]

the dance is so chill

[polar dragon]

First time I saw that I legit asked my duo wth that was

[floral warren]

I would have a 1 hr version on repeat

[polar dragon]

Like seriously?

[floral warren]

unironically

[stable kindle]

thresh can be a pretty boy, as a treat

[polar dragon]

League is suffering a fabric crisis

No male champion can afford a shirt

[floral warren]

smh no casual style skinlines

[stable kindle]

hope you guys are ready for the year of the ruined king cause its gonna be a ride

fox already saw me going buckwild on lore last night

[floral warren]

for sureee

[polar dragon]

:D I'm hyped for Mundo rework

[floral warren]

absolutely not focusing on how the mundo vgu will look and play

[stable kindle]

of course you are, i see who you play most of the time

[polar dragon]

Oh lol you can?

[stable kindle]

yes

[polar dragon]

:3 Mundo best girl

[floral warren]

Fiddle and voli were best VGUs, even better than 2019 champs

let's see what they'll do with mundo

I even mained Voli after the VGU

[polar dragon]

I'm really liking it so far.

[floral warren]

2019 champions are either too op , or borderline useless (pantheon outside of the support meta)

not that really useless, but can't hold up to the champs he used to beat (top laners)

[polar dragon]

Champion skill descriptions are getting longer with every new patch.

shudders in Senna and Aphelios

[floral warren]

the nightmare that is Aphelios' tooltips before the whole cleaning up in mid season 10

-how are you winning with Aphelios?
-i'm QWQWing until it works

[stable kindle]

theyre adding aphelios to lor and i was just watching the preview like

[floral warren]

they even made him even 200 years-er (in terms of how it will take to master him)

[polar dragon]

lor?

[floral warren]

legends of runeterra, the card game

[stable kindle]

ye

[polar dragon]

right. im too scared of starting that game.

Hearthstone sucked the life and money out of me

at least League only sucked the life

[stable kindle]

a lot of hearthstone players moved to lor recently actually

for the time being its a lot more generous

[polar dragon]

[stable kindle]

i only dabble though because i dont actually like playing card games competitively bc trying to keep up with metas just gives me a headache

[floral warren]

not a single cent will make the enemy cards better

it's all thru grinding

[polar dragon]

?

are you talking about hearthstone or lor?

[floral warren]

lor

[polar dragon]

ok

[stable kindle]

the only thing you spend money on is like. visuals really. your board, guardian, card backs and stuff

[floral warren]

^

[polar dragon]

oh really

[floral warren]

just like league

[stable kindle]

yes

[polar dragon]

now im tempted

because shelling out $20-25 every 3 months for HS expansion is expensive.

but that seems more... resonable?

[floral warren]

idk, you have to try it out yourself

and hey, it's on phones too

[polar dragon]

I actually applied for the closed beta spot

No news though

[floral warren]

they're making an expansion every three months or so

[polar dragon]

question, how good is "meme" decks in lor?

or if there are meme decks

[floral warren]

I think there's cheesy ones

like some Ionia cards
God, I hate Elusive cards with a burning passion

[stable kindle]

they pop up on the subreddit not too infrequently when im skimming through lol

elusive is basically just flying in mtg

[floral warren]

there's a ton of interesting mechanics in some cards

[stable kindle]

oh yeah definitely

i dont keep up with hearthstone cause that never interested me but fox, there was a hearthstone exodus to lor just a few months ago and a lot of ex-hearth players praising lor

so its def smth worth looking into

[polar dragon]

yeah im looking into now that I know cards are free.

i love collectible card games but I couldn't keep up with the purchase rate

[floral warren]

there's also a tryndamere card that works exactly as how you imagined it would look like

|| dying will make him even stronger||

[polar dragon]

im looking at Bilgewater deck

seems like an aggro oriented collection?

[eager hamlet]

Yeah like

I have a full collection in LoR

And enough resources to make all the cards in the next 2 expansions
