Just erased every boss with alchemic carbine hokuto's bow and 300% damage double legendary owl

coral hawk
#

Dude neon abyss is so much fun

elder arrow
#

i always have my carbine in the bag

#

when i use it

dire condor
#

I prefer being able to shoot when I want

#

Also the d.o.t was always intended to scale according to the backpack

#

That will be implemented in the latest update

pulsar schooner
#

Eagerly waiting for Deathloop reviews

untold hornet
#

I second this

coral hawk
#

idk how I feel about dead cells and replayability

#

only cause there are so few equipment I actually enjoy using that I don't play a lot

polar dragon
#

Are we trash talking DC?

#

Sign me up squirtdevious

coral hawk
#

go off what do you dislike about dc

elder arrow
#

😔

dire condor
#

the washington memorial

wraith cradle
#

Arise and Deathloop, quite the interesting games coming

lofty pecan
#

Life is strange too

dire condor
#

Also the combat is actually bearable

#

dam

polar dragon
#

DC is punishing in an unfun way

dire condor
#

I'd like to talk smack on DC but it has been so long since I played and there were many patches

polar dragon
#

I like hard games, but I find some of DC designs questionable

#

Especially the existence of no hit and speedrun gate.

dire condor
#

I hated that a bunch of weapons were straight garbage and you activley made your weapon pool worse by unlocking them

#

so runs were just hoping I'd get something decent in the beginning and if not, restart time ig

#

but I heard that this got fixed by giving a lot of weaps buffs

polar dragon
#

I reset if I fail the no hit gate.

#

So quite often and it sucks the fun out of the game for me.

#

I know I don't need to get the no hit gate, but like

dire condor
#

also im poo at platformers and DC required me to do that shadegrief

coral hawk
#

Yeah the "the game is worse if you unlock this" is part of the reason I stopped playing lol

polar dragon
#

Come freaking on losing it at 55/60 to a random projectile is rage inducing

coral hawk
#

I unlocked all the equipment at one point and runs just stopped being fun

dire condor
#

off screen projectiles are somewhat of an issue

#

I think it has some visual clutter issues but hades has them too

#

the combat in DC is fine to me I just didnt like everything else around it

#

exploring it for the first time is def fun

#

but after that I kinda lost interest

polar dragon
#

I just want the new TMNT game...

#

Oh man

dire condor
#

Opinions, everybody has them

wraith cradle
#

To be honest I prefered the EA builds of Hades to the EA builds of DC

But ince I've seen the completed product I ended liking DC more

polar dragon
#

So y'know

dire condor
wraith cradle
#

Anyhow I already talked about my wariness about Deathloop and how it's gameplay loop makes me think it won't be as fun as it presents itself

polar dragon
#

Is it a roguelite

dire condor
#

But now it's clearly the superior game

wraith cradle
#

Anyhow before I lose myself

dire condor
#

opinions...

wraith cradle
#

Anyone here Played Bravely Default 2 to give me their opinion?

#

Or is playing?

polar dragon
wraith cradle
#

I'm tempted to get it on sale given I loved the other 2

dire condor
#

I just have a friend who rly likes it

dire condor
#

based library of ruina pfp btw 👌

polar dragon
#

I think DC is a worse at vacuum cleaning my room than Hades.

dire condor
#

I prefer my RPGs more action oriented

wraith cradle
#

Characters with Smug faces are my weakness

dire condor
#

I'm playing it rn on the ensemble rn

wraith cradle
#

Good luck lmao

dire condor
#

thanks I'll need it

wraith cradle
dire condor
#

I got completly sucked into project moon games this summer

#

lobocorp good

polar dragon
#

First time hearing about them thh

dire condor
#

their games r really cool but also rly hard

wraith cradle
#

And now they are teasing Limsus Limbus and the Distorsion Detective videogame

wraith cradle
dire condor
#

👁️ cant wait

polar dragon
#

Interesting

dire condor
#

the first game lobocorp is very scp inspired

#

lobotomy corporation if you wanna look it up

wraith cradle
#

In Lobotomy you manage a facility where dozens of abnormalities are contained and you must get Energy for them (You are an energy company that extracts energy form monsters basically) while tending to their needs, your employees needs and if needed shoot them to make sure they don't wreck your facility

#

Quite simplified to avoid spoilers, tho

dire condor
#

it seems kinda meh at first but it gets rly good

#

Oh right I remember that game

#

library of ruina is like a deckbuilder rpg game

#

also very good

wraith cradle
#

Slay the Spire but you hate yourself

dire condor
#

If it's a deckbuilder then it has my attention

wraith cradle
#

It's funny cause in the game you can pinpoint the exact moment brute force stops working and you must manage carefully your deck

dire condor
#

Is it harder than slay the spire

wraith cradle
#

Yes, but is not a roguelite

dire condor
#

I'm aware

wraith cradle
#

Once you defeat an enemy they stay defeated

#

You get their books

dire condor
wraith cradle
#

That you burn to get their key page (Basically their uniform and passives) and their attack cards

#

That you use to improve your librarians

dire condor
#

its not rly like sts imo

#

Is there grinding

wraith cradle
#

Yes, a bit as you may want to get all attack cards from x character

dire condor
#

but still good

polar dragon
#

So it's like thronebreaker

dire condor
#

I havent grinded much yet so far but some fights I had to do twice bc I didnt get all their cards

wraith cradle
#

Here

dire condor
wraith cradle
#

It explains without spoilers teh very basis

dire condor
#

the only issue is that the plot kinda goes straight from lcorp into this game

#

so if you didnt play lcorp its a bit???

#

I made this mistake

wraith cradle
#

Ofc I did

#

I knew of this game cause I loved LC

dire condor
#

Apparently I already own this game but haven't played it

#

I straight up dropped library to play lcorp just to absorb the plot

#

and I ended up liking lcorp more

wraith cradle
#

Lmao Magnum

#

Also thankfully since that video the UI has been simplified a lot

dire condor
#

10GB download, with my internet¿!

#

Well I guess I'll try the game tomorrow

#

Seems like quite the commitment seeing that I have to play two games

#

you can prob play library on its own but

wraith cradle
#

Meh, you can always be like Roland and go learning as he does about the Plot

dire condor
#

Going through my backlog for games I haven't played

#

Has anyone here played crypt of the necrodancer

#

yeah its good

#

I wonder...

#

I mean

#

always depends on what youre looking for

#

but its amazing if you like rythm game + rougelike

wraith cradle
#

Great game

#

Someone just reccomended it here today

polar dragon
#

How small do you have to be to be considered indie?

wraith cradle
#

Some people put Gearbox and Behaviour Interactive as the stretching definition of Indie

#

Like Gearbox is either the biggest Indie Company or the smallest big publisher

rancid token
#

Good question, next question

#

I don't think there's currently a really good metric for it because of how blended the indie and AAA scenes have become in recent times

#

Or at least, not one I'm aware of

junior crown
#

I think there is definitely a blur for when it's indie or not, like when I think about all this stuff I just think of extremes of like 1 to 15 people for indies and 100 of people for AAA

polar dragon
#

well I asked because I was wondering if you would consider Riot Games 2 years ago as indie

wraith cradle
#

Riot is a special case

#

As Tencent own them 100% but still lets them do their thing

eager hamlet
#

Riot was indie once upon a time, but they are too big to be considered indie now

Couldn’t tell by looking at their client

what I don't like is the insta kill move. you need to wait it out. I don't really like it lol

lethal drift

I can understand that

woven breach

he is the reason why I don't replay NMH2

I'm alternating between Fuga and Berseria. Hopefully Berseria determines if I end playing Arise

Anyone else who plays hollow knight who thinks that Monomon's "head" is actually her bell since she's a jellyfish, and the mask part is just an appendage she grew to hold her mask

dire warren

felt cute, might restart and fully replay EoS despite how much of a pain it is to do so and how many other games I have to beat

#

You know how it is

#

We can't trust devs to tell us something's unsafe so we gotta believe the hearsay

#

Here's the same source giving some explanation

polar dragon
#

I should start a chain copy pasta mail saying League of Legend is compromised by a bioterrorist organization and is literally giving them cancer.
But then the response would probably be "We know."

polar dragon
# tall hornet Here's the same source giving some explanation

I can't tell if you are taking this seriously.
But the extra "information" they gave still provides zero verification.
Who are "some people have already confirmed [this]?" Who is this guy?
Who is anything and anyone. Someone or "it has been confirmed" means nothing.

tall hornet
#

I'm not invested in this at all, and it seems like you aren't either

#

This directxeon guy seems to be a trusted figure in the community? Idk

polar dragon
#

yeah but it seems like misinformation. in this day and age, I just generally have a distaste for that (for obvious reasons).

wraith cradle
#

Man, those reviews are nice

#

I loved the Demo of this game

polar dragon
#

thoughts on Super Hexagon?

elder arrow
#

it's super

#

||idk I have never played it||

broken smelt
#

It's incredibly simple but quite enjoyable imo

polar dragon
#

i picked it up again recently and finally beat hexagoner

#

trying for hexagonest

#

hyper mode seems insane tbh

broken smelt
#

Yeah, from memory it is quite insane

wraith cradle
#

Not a game for squares ron

broken smelt
#

Lmao

#

So, Super hexagon has to be the best game of all time because hexagons are bestagons

wraith cradle
#

It's a cursed game imo

#

You can't pronounce Hexagon without Hex after all

broken smelt
#

Both?

#

Both can be true

polar dragon
#

Hexagons are indeed the bestagons

#

It tiles a plane in an interesting way

Nintendogs is coming for switch that's it i'm getting a lite

#

I don't think it's actually nintendogs tho, but a similar game that is basically nintendogs

polar dragon
#

do people like nintendogs?

Some people like Nintendo and some people like Dogs, they are tapping into the niche in the middle ron

Nioh free on EGS

#

Never played

#

Sounds nice.

polar dragon
#

Nice oh

ocean iris
#

The tradeoff is that I have to use that clunky pos launcher

#

But as long as it plays the game...

#

unresponsive af still

wraith cradle
#

Nioh is probably the best game about Irish Ninjas fighting Spanish Ninjas I've played

polar dragon

I actually had already bought and finished night a year ago already :/

I should snag that, I have it on Steam but I don't have the DLC

i heard that game bangs

a shame i missed it when it was free on epic

wraith cradle

I still prefer the endless games

#

but exclusives drive people to buy consoles
companies make better exclusives to incentivize people to buy their consoles
and we get better games

#

it all works out in the end 👍

stable kindle
#

console exclusives have always existed 😭 idk i guess i kinda understand the hate for them but ive just never really... got it? if its not on a console i dont have then i dont have any interest in it. a console exclusive alone is not going to sell me personally on a console, without an extensive library to back it up.

polar dragon
#

yeah, i guess i am not interested in a lot of console games also.
they have basically no RTS, and indie games are available on PC almost always.

hybrid jetty
#

a game being exclusive is never going to sell me on a console but it sure is going to heighten my stance against exclusives

polar dragon
#

fair enough

#

i mean i do dislike how egs have their timed exclusives for whatever reasons.

#

i get that it's just business

#

but doesn't mean that i have to like it

wraith cradle
#

Well, technically Gaming basically started with console exclusives and lasted until the '83 crash where PC gaming started to being popularized

polar dragon
#

that's a time before i was born

wraith cradle
#

Anyhow

#

Finished Fuga 8.5/10 great game

polar dragon

#

Ultima, one of PC Gaming's first Franchises turned 40 years in June

#

Lol, no I imagined that not killing any kid was gonna be neccessary to get the good ending

#

So I didn't

mystic wave
#

but every time you use it, it adds more feels. a strategy to consider!

wraith cradle
#

Anyhow, Fuga was a nice interlude into Berseria

#

To be honest felt a little short with only 12 chapters

#

Granted I need to play Shorter game once in a while to keep my sanity

mystic wave
#

berseria felt too long for me lol

wraith cradle
#

It is long, I've seen walkthroughts that last 46 hours

#

Although I came from finishing Library of Ruina which lasted me 140h so this one should be a breeze

mystic wave
#

is it alright for me to expect epic story from ruina

#

haven't started it, liked lobocorp for the story

wraith cradle
#

Yes, but that game will make you feel evil, as you are playing a sociopathic robot, a guy who has lost any hope for the future (and is basically her slave) and 9 jaded librarians

#

I enjoyed the Grimdarkness of the setting

mystic wave
#

sounds good

wraith cradle
#

Where the lack of empathy is consiidered Endemic

mystic wave
#

lobocorp's storytelling got me good. ||the way they reveal who the sephiraths are, who they were, and what the facility is, so brilliant||

wraith cradle
#

Yeah well LoR has basically 10x the production value, better art much more refined graphics and a banger of an OST

mystic wave
#

poggers

scenic wigeon
wraith cradle
#

I'm personally ambivalent

junior crown
#

I am ok with it, since mostly they are timed and don't prevent proper preservation of games. Since I think the main problem with exclusives on consoles is preserving said games properly and with them being available more easily to everyone.

#

But consoles aren't really something everyone has or up to emulate the games.
Though this is not to say some old PC games don't have the same problem of preservation, at times hardly capable to run on newer specs, but I am thankful more games from old times are modded to be preserved better or remastered (properly) to be able experienced today.

wraith cradle
#

Fun fact

#

The 1997 Blade Runner PC game is impossible to beat on modern computers without modding because one encounter and one bomb are timed based on the speed of the CPU.

And turns out in 24 years CPU speeds have become Slightly faster

scenic wigeon
#

daaaaaaang

scenic wigeon
# wraith cradle I'm personally ambivalent

I'm mad at the things like Sonic Colors Ultimate, Tony Hawk, Kingdom Hearts, etc.
because it's not something that EG made themselves to push some sort of sales or whatever, they just bought the rights to it

#

I'd be less mad if it was something that they made

junior crown
#

It's honestly funny to me how old games can speed up and go crazy due to such differences of specs.

#

i think tiny tints or forspoken

ocean iris
#

im so very afraid about tiny tina's wonderlands

#

even with pitchford out there not disturbing this game im sure there are people which will do his job of ruining it

#

The problem with borderlands 3 is that it's soooo much more painfully unfunny

#

1,2 and Pre Sequel felt unfunny on purpose, and they didnt try hard, but it's like they just tried so hard in 3

#

I got a feeling I might have to mute dialogue on Wonderlands as well if I end up getting it

woven breach

oooookay

I didn't expect a dad bod

but the dad bod I expected was kratos's

well he does look like he can drink the sea

wraith cradle
#

By the way the fact this is a Duology surprises me

ocean iris
#

I mean Thor was always a fat and drunk and despicable bastard

#

Marvel really influenced the impression that thor is a hero or something

#

Hell Im sure the previous GoW games potrayed him like this

#

Because the internet is going nuts when they saw this....

#

The MCU and it's consenquences have been a disaster for society

elder arrow
#

i feel like everyone but marvel portrays thor as either mad chonk or hella buff

#

like buff to the point of chonk

rancid token
#

Love this Thor design

#

Man feels like a proper tank

#

Also, even if I'm hearing you correctly and Pitchford doesn't have his grubby little fingers on Wonderlands, he still owns the company and gets money from it

ocean iris
#

Hey at least the game looks more like Borderlands 2

#

Aka they are back on strong cel shading

Good news mates

#

Eldern Ring will have Ubisoft Towers

and Epic lost the lawsuit

polar dragon
lofty pecan
#

nah apple lost it

#

apple has to provide independent payment options now

polar dragon
#

Yay now that's good news

#

So Epic won?

lofty pecan
#

ye

#

dont think itll affect too much tho

polar dragon
#

That doesn't excuse their crappy client, but i support the more payment option movement.

elder arrow
#

only the chance of getting it free might increase lol

#

sometime down the line

lofty pecan
#

no user is gonna go to another site, input all their payment - too much hassle

#

in app payment is just too convenient

polar dragon
#

But i have no data to support it. I just think people will spend a few clicks for a bit of savings.

lofty pecan
#

its not even savings for themselves tho

#

its not like apps charge 30% more

polar dragon
#

Wasn't Fortnite purchase out of store cheaper?

#

I thought that's how the lawsuit started to begin with

#

Fortnite offers cheaper out of store alternative, and Apple removed the game as a response to ToS violation

#

And then lawsuit

junior crown
#

here is the outcome of it

#

Epic sort of won, they didn't actually, but the did some way.

#

this outcome is basically in short: it did something good in the end.

#

both companies lost? awesome

polar dragon
#

Even better news

#

Damn xD

sleek quiver
#

This I can confirm

#

On the other hand though, 12mil is chump change in the business world

#

This is like, a slap on the wrist

polar dragon
#

Epic threw like 300 mil on free games last year lul

#

Now if they can just improve their UI, make proper mod/workshop support

ocean iris
#

Yeah they wont do that

#

They just did the throw money at it until it's good approach

#

I genuinely dont know anyone who actually spent a single cent on that store

polar dragon
#

30+ games on Epic

#

3 months of Discord Nitro

ocean iris
#

All of my Epic games are free kekw

polar dragon
#

Still $0

ocean iris
#

Exactly

polar dragon
#

fix the UI and add mod support like Steam does. I'll consider buying a game or two so the devs get more money, no kap

junior crown
#

At the very least it's not Steam's approach of "hey let's pile up more visual clutter to the simple store so it lags for people more" I must say. All storefront bad, return to buying games straight from the devs. bouldy

polar dragon
#

But until then, $0

polar dragon
ocean iris
#

Steam is cool because of it's social aspect, multitude of features, mod support, marketplace, and much
Every self respecting PC launcher has launch parameters. Guess what EGS doesnt have that. Even UPlay and Origin do

polar dragon
#

No "advanced" options like Steam to change settings, launch different builds. And like I have said, no workshop support.

ocean iris
#

Also no way the steam store lags that bad

#

Anyways it's not as bad as EGS which the whole UI is janky af and unresponsive

polar dragon
#

Also they have whatever this is lmao

#

Excellent recommendations xD

lofty pecan
#

hopefully

polar dragon
#

Can I plug Playnite again as an excellent front end which supports major launchers, as well as emulators.

ocean iris
#

Valve is going to save gaming on Linux

#

I might actually and finally switch to Linux

junior crown
#

It definitely does, there been multiple reports on that here in this server and other what not. I wouldn't consider social part of Steam much of use, considering other social medias and how low the moderation is for forums, sections and what not, not really fun to use imo. For sure EGS needs to improve, but for now I think it does have at least needed features to look around, in my experience. has search button for library and outside and does show if I have game installed.
I am unsure what exact features Steam has that may help for use, outside of workshop mods, even then it seems rarity a game would have a workshop mods support.
Also Steam definitely needs to be pushed to be more dev friendly. Like, whenever you refund, all money that is going back to you is all from devs, nothing comes back from Steam (meaning devs also pay back more than they get from you). And that's honestly a bummer feature.

dire condor
#

why would you do that

ocean iris
#

Because sometimes Im just truly fed up with Windows 10

sleek quiver
#

Linux is easier on lower-end hardware, that I know of

#

Plus, no bloat

#

None of my Linux-savvy friends are gamers though

#

I showed them the Steam Deck links and videos and they say like, “woah, it’s going to save Linux gaming, but I don’t game that much though”

ocean iris
#

Hopefully those things turn out good

#

Since my sister considers getting one

You'd be surprised how much they lost by giving free games and buying exclusiveness

polar dragon

Dice Legacy looks good, another dice roguelite. Description says dice-based survival city builder, trailer said roguelite

polar dragon
#

I saw some gameplay on stream for a couple of hours yesterday.
It's not a roguelite, at least per my definition. But then again everything is branded as rogue or claims to have rogue elements nowadays.

Wasn’t Gran Turismo always a PS exclusive?

Yeah but Im just very upset about it this time

Cuz of how hard the ps5 is to get right?

Not really, it's just looks good.

They'll come to PC after 4 years anyways kekw

Thoughts on Pokemon Legends: Arceus?

#

I think it's pretty cool but idk i want to hear some other people's thoughts

woven breach
#

It still looks rough

#

Though that's it

ocean iris
#

Ive given up hope on the Switch

#

I am very tempted to sell it but Im also still hoping for good games

#

It's all just wii u ports and exclusives that aint my thing

#

i'd love to get the Borderlands Legendary Collection though. I just need 10 more euros.

#

Oh yeah and Im not used to game prices being 50-60 dollars. Im a cheapskate PC gamer used to Valve sales

vivid mesa
#

Daemon x Machina, Fire Emblem, and other first-party games kept me sold on Switch.
Nintendo consoles aren't for everyone though, haha

vivid mesa

ocean iris
#

I still remember how Prime 4 was going to be the flagship shooter for the switch

#

My point is that the exclusive lineup for the Switch is so inconsistent

#

MS and Sony have their exclusive lineup very clear but at Nintendo it's all about waiting without any news about the new upcoming games

#

Also no Virtual console, themes, and the cool games the Gamecube had

vivid mesa
#

Lack of virtual console SUCKS

ocean iris
#

The online service is also the worst offender, not only is it paid which is the worst damn trend ever, but what it includes are just some damn games that can be played on a phone

vivid mesa
#

Also, I'm an old fart who's busy with work, so many the slimmer library affects me less 🤷

ocean iris
#

And from what I heard the servers arent that good

#

But I cant say I experienced that

vivid mesa
#

I'm literally the demographic that Nintendo banks on: loves first-party, buys indie games, doesn't care about cutting-edge game tech, enjoys quirky gameplay gimmicks, etc

ocean iris
#

I wish Nintendo could also compete more with the other 2

vivid mesa
#

eh

#

they tried that

#

and it almost put them out of business with the GC

ocean iris
#

RE4 was pretty good tho

#

It's doable

vivid mesa
#

oh GC was a phenomenal system. but the juice isn't worth the squeeze

#

it's a lot more advantageous to take the DS/Wii/Switch route. meaning, you entice third parties with sheer, undeniable market share

ocean iris
#

They also had the Prime trilogy which was the most fun trilogy I played and I don't know how they still arent doing more games

#

maybe because Fed Force was a POS

vivid mesa
#

well, we've seen a Metroid drought precisely because they noticed the games haven't been good

#

Prime 4 literally had its entire project scrapped to begin anew

ocean iris
#

Well then make actually good games 😭

#

God damn companies

vivid mesa
#

Metroid Dread looks cool though

ocean iris
#

Im gonna repeat that Prime 4 was supossed to be a flagship exclusive

#

but the flagship exclusive now is BOTW which is a Wii U game

vivid mesa
#

not as cool as that fan-made 2d Metroid Prime though, haha

ocean iris
#

BOTW is cool but it gets absolutely boring at times, the camel dungeon made me drop it

vivid mesa
#

man I love botw to this day

#

folks talking about Nintendo not making complex or hardcore games... the physics system in BotW is one of the most impressive ever put in a video game

#

with how gravity, wind, fire, electricity, and magnetism works

ocean iris
#

I'd say I only had fun in this game until I got to the last beast which is the camel

vivid mesa
#

that was also the toughest boss [the camel boss

ocean iris
#

Great I wont even bother booting the game up again lmao

vivid mesa
#

lol

#

I loved the music in that game

#

it got slammed for not being "zelda sounding," but that's what made it even better

ocean iris
#

What else. Ah. Animal Crossing. God that game stinks, I would have sold it if it werent for my sis

#

It feels like an early access game

vivid mesa
#

Definitely sounds like Switch wasn't a great purchase for you 😅

ocean iris
#

I fell for the hype

vivid mesa
#

aw

#

any options to sell off and/or get another system?

ocean iris
#

Nah I got my PC

#

I always was a PC gamer, even when I had a bad laptop I got to play great old games

#

PS5 might be cool but it's too much of an investment, and it's not even obtainable.

vivid mesa
#

yeah you may as well just stick with PC

#

I wanna play Cyberpunk for the luls, but it looks so bad outside of PC hehe

ocean iris
#

Im still keeping the switch when I will get some third party games or when Nintendo releases some games I actually enjoy

#

Aka when they release Metroid Prime 4

#

Also looking to get Dread as well, but it doesnt feel as big and exciting as a Prime game

now I know the whole layout of Half Life 1

#

My most expensive game purchase must be Borderlands 3 Super Deluxe Edition for 38 euro

#

I regret that.

#

Well hey the good thing about the switch is that I can at leat use it as a couch coop machine

#

Playing in recess Mario Kart is a blast

#

Might soon get Smash? Dunno.

#

Or Borderlands ports if they are any good.

Yeah I guessed so

sleek quiver
#

Right from the get go, with how the DS and Wii has gone to, we know Nintendo isn’t going to try to compete with the other big two

ocean iris
#

Gonna be honest the form factor sounds ideal but I rather have the handheld and home console model back

#

I rather have 1 thing designed perfectly to do a thing than 1 thing that cant do both well

sleek quiver
#

As an indie platform, I’m very happy with the Switch, but as you’ve said, their own first-parties leaves much to be desired

ocean iris
#

What I meant is, it's not small and compact enough to be a good handheld

#

But not powerful enough to be a home console

#

I would kill for a 3DS with modern hardware that is being used for smartphones, and with 2 proper sticks and 2 oled displays

sleek quiver
#

Well, think of it as just a handheld. The home console side was just a bonus

ocean iris
#

Also the joycons leave much to be desired. I got used to them but I'd love if they had actual analogue triggers.

#

Wait scratch that that would mean they could charge 80 for a pair with analogue triggers

sleek quiver
#

The JoyCons are fine imo, aside from the fact that they’re drifting way ahead of time than other controllers lol

#

JoyCons do get packed with so many stuffs

#

The Switch tablet, and both JoyCons, all have their own gyro sensors

Havent had drifting yet

Seems like making game expansions as separate games is now a trend

NFC, IR blaster, it’s pretty feature packed in such small package

ocean iris
#

Yeah those are great features

#

but quality makes or breaks a controller

sleek quiver
#

The only problem was, it’s drifting lol

ocean iris
#

And the quality lacks when it comes to the trigger and shoulder buttons IMO

#

Good thing the switch has like 0 racing games that use the triggers as acceleration

sleek quiver
#

More like they had to not include that trigger acceleration, because of the JoyCons not having proper triggers lol

ocean iris
#

There is NO trigger accelerations

#

the triggers are just buttons

#

Just big wide buttons if you ask me

#

Might as well call them something else

sleek quiver
#

True

ocean iris
#

The shoulder buttons are cool but not clicky enough for me

#

The cool feature is that you can click it sideways

They are curved so that's a pretty good design choice

Ok. I arrived to the part you kill the boars for the kid.

First you have the protagonist and the kid escaping with the older magician. You see the magician doing something to the MC sister. Then you have sister on a cell jaded mad half mutated who swears vengeance against a man. Presumably the older magician.
THEN you are in the same town that seemed complete destroyed in the anime cutscene the MC is happy and seems on cool terms with the magician dude. Like W0t?

I can't decide between whether I like Dishonored 1 or Dishonored 2 more

hallow wadi
#

i almost always go no kill so whenever i do a kill run i am startled by how gorey it is lol

#

dishonored 1 is my fav easy

tulip skiff
#

I absolutely love Dishonored 1's atmosphere and story and such but god Dishonored 2's level design and visuals are perfect

hallow wadi
#

i like Corvo as a silent protag and i love the visual style esp the faces on the character models

junior crown
#

I say I like Dishonored 2 more gameplay and visual style wise improvement more and the story more on Dishonored 1 I think.

hallow wadi
#

i get lost in 2's level design without the matker but i can do Dishonored by learning the city without using the objective marker

Dishonored 2 made excellent improvements to the gameplay and level design

They expanded upon the extra non-lethal options introduced in Dishonored 1's DLCs

dishonored 2 polished a lot of really good things

#

dishonored gave us different illustrations for the mission keys 🥺 in 1 they were all the same

#

and you kept them the whole time.. 2 did inventory much more cleanly

tulip skiff
#

that's another thing about Dishonored 2

#

the entire game is playable without any powers whatsoever

hallow wadi
#

yeah that is cool!! i haven't done a no powers run in 2 yet

tulip skiff
woven breach
#

you can do it... with difficulty

tulip skiff
#

I love both games but I really adore Dishonored 2's level design in particular over the first game

#

Clockwork Mansion and A Crack In The Slab are both excellent levels, for example

#

i dont actually remember if the level is called Clockwork Mansion or not lol

#

i just know that's where you go in it

#

I also love the non-lethal takedowns in Dishonored 2. the first game was sorely lacking in ways to non-lethally takedown NPCs, though this was partially remedied in the DLCs with the addition of stun mines, which made a return in Dishonored 2

#

although some of them don't seem particularly non-lethal. like, with some of the non-lethal drop assassinations you can literally see blood coming out of their head

#

I should go to bed now, it's 3:20 AM

#

good night all, was fun getting to talk about Dishonored for a bit. I don't come across too many people I get to do that with

hybrid jetty
#

as a fan of the original Thief games, while I enjoyed Dishonored 1's relative lack of nonlethal options because it forces you to actually avoid stuff like in Thief, I'm glad 2 added some powers that could actually be used nonlethally

#

Tbh, I liked The last Splinter Cell approach, The game divides your gadgets and weapons in 3 categories for each playstyle

#

Open Lethal, stealth Lethal and Stealth Non-Lethal

tulip skiff
# hybrid jetty as a fan of the original Thief games, while I enjoyed Dishonored 1's relative la...

Dishonored isn't necessarily supposed to be a pure stealth game like Thief. They wanted each kind of playstyle to be viable and fun, however in Dishonored 1 doing an assault playstyle would always result in you getting a bad ending due to the chaos system, because there were only a few ways to take people out non-lethally.

In Dishonored 2, you can do non-lehal drop assassinations, punch people in the face mid-combat and put them into a choke hold, slide into an enemy and do a non-lethal takedown, put down stun mines, throw bottles at their heads, you get the point. They made a non-lethal assault playstyle fun and viable, and it was great.

wraith cradle
#

The problem with Stealth games is that using stealth and non-lethal methods means you donpt get to use the coolest gadgets most of the time

ocean iris
#

This reminds me that somehow I got Hitman 3 on Epic Games

tulip skiff
# wraith cradle The problem with Stealth games is that using stealth and non-lethal methods mean...

Yeah, although Dishonored 2 remedies this quite well, I think. A lot of the powers can be used to assist in a non-lethal playstyle, both while being stealthy and while assaulting the map. There's also a few alternatives to the lethal gadgets themselves. Spring razor is substituted with the stun mines, grenades can kind of be substituted with the chloroform bottles you can find around the level, and so on

i wont buy DD on epic though, not because i have anything against Epic in particular, just that the game is predicated on mod support which epic doesn't have (yet)

#

ill just wait for steam release

wraith cradle
#

Fair enough

lofty pecan
#

it might be like hades where early access is epic, then release is steam

polar dragon
#

the real 5head move is to wait another 5 years so DD2 becomes free on epic weekly rotation

i've always loved the darkest dungeon art style

#

You know?

#

After 200 hours at the first one

#

I still can't get over the new designs, it feels like I'm getting crazy

#

Dunno how to describe it

#

Like something very familiar suddenly changes and you get unnerved

polar dragon
#

yeah im so used to the bid head design that the new proportionally accurate heads seem too small

#

xD

I always feel weird when that happens

or gains a voice actor

#

should i go for eastward on steam or switch

#

i'm worried there'll be a graphics downgrade on switch like there was for dodgeball academia, but since it's a pixel game it hopefully won't be an issue

#

Switch

i liked the idea of him being mute 😔

#

It's kind of cool to me having the main character of Arkane's Thief-inspired game be voiced by the player character in Thief

digital fulcrum
#

it also seems a little on-the-nose to cast the same guy who voiced garrett

#

oh

#

well then

tulip skiff
#

The change to a voiced protagonist is kind of weird to adjust to but honestly I'm far more bothered by The Outsider's voice change

#

His voice actor in Dishonored 2 isn't bad, and honestly after getting used to it I think I prefer it over his voice in the first game, but it's very jarring when I'm switching between the two games and hearing different voice actors

#

All this Dishonored talk makes me want to get back to my somewhat absurd Dishonored 2 playthrough in which I don't have powers and am not allowed to kill or be seen

wraith cradle
#

Talking about that

#

Apparently Bayonetta's VA won't reprise her role for the third game :/

lethal drift
#

That's a huge bummer. She was such a great va

wraith cradle
#

I mean, it's not a clear cut no but as close as you can be

#

I can confirm except Death and Taxes which I have not played that all games here are very good

#

And yes, I know the name is Ehhhhhh

# tulip skiff The change to a voiced protagonist *is* kind of weird to adjust to but honestly ...

i wasnt big on Corvo's new voice, or The Outsider's new voice.. i didn't like The Outsider's first voice all that much, but the new one has this sort of quality that bothers my ears? i don't think it's bc of the voice actor i think it might be the added effect is different and the one before didn't bother me. but yeah it was very jarring, and smthn i think about each time i hear him in 2

for Corvo, i have a soft spot for protagonists with no or minimal voicing.. i just like em that way! plus - i like to sorta rp when i play games, so having no spoken lines for Corvo and very few written lines allowed me to create my own narrative and inner monologue for him, which i always had a lot of fun with

#

Dishonored kinda brands itself as about making your own decisions for the story, and i think a (mostly) silent protagonist complements that well. it gives you a ton of flexibility in characterizing your own playthrough

#

i have only actually completed one playthrough of 2, so, bear that in mind for my opinions on this. but i felt like i was along the ride for someone else's story - and that's not a bad way to play or design games at all, but i really liked how in 1 i felt like i was in control of who Corvo was.. i had to figure him out using a) the history i was given about him, b) the actions available to me within the game, and c) the other characters' reactions to him

#

and building a playthrough around those things, and adjusting my ideas about Corvo's characterization as i made more mistakes and found out new information, is very fun for me. in 2, where the characters have distinct pre-written personalities, i don't get to do that as much

tulip skiff
#

Yeah, non-voiced protagonists do have that quality about them, though in 2 I do like the added touch of Corvo/Emily's voice lines being a bit more psychopathic when you're going high chaos

#

Their personalities do change accordingly with the chaos system but it's definitely not the same as it is without a voiced protagonist

#

I would definitely replay 2 when you can, I love it just as much as the first game and its DLCs if not more

hallow wadi
#

i will!! talking about it makes me excited to

#

i have to finish death of the outsider too

hybrid jetty
#

i was always put off by corvo's silence in the first game, made even more jarring when the dlc had a voiced protagonist and was much better for it

#

not that they have to be chatterboxes either

hallow wadi
#

daud's dialogue was really good yeah

tulip skiff
#

I loved playing as Daud and I really liked seeing his deep regret for what he'd done

wraith cradle
#

Dishonored DLC is basically dishonored 2

#

You'll understand less of the plot if you go from dishonored 1 to 2 than playing only the dlc to 2

tulip skiff
#

yeah

woven breach

far cry blood dragon is pretty hilarious

polar dragon
#

how many video game warcrimes have you committed?

tulip skiff
#

Dishonored 2 was the first game I ever played on a PS4

woven breach
#

is it even warcrime even when I do it in a peaceful game?

#

like harvest moon?

polar dragon
#

Killings of civilians
Usage of banned weapons
Attacks on civilian buildings (schools, hospitals, etc.)

#

Pretty sure killing POWs are also warcrimes

woven breach
#

I did play spec ops the line

#

so all of the above? dusa

polar dragon
woven breach
#

I also accidentally killed civilians in AC2

#

idk about banned weapons

#

if the game gives you the option, then it's all good right?

polar dragon
#

yeah

#

erm

#

sure

lofty pecan
#

Ive accidentally killed some civilians in arma 3

woven breach
#

casually throwing mustard gas

lofty pecan
#

U never know if theyre soldiers in disguise

woven breach
#

eh, just put some weapon near their body

#

all good

polar dragon
#

i might or might not have disintegrated some civilians with plasma rays in xcom

#

and FTL is just a warcrime simulator

lofty pecan
#

From the infrared view of a drone, all people look the same 🤔

#

Therefore its the games fault for me killing civilians

polar dragon
woven breach
polar dragon
#

also shadow tactics is an awesome game

#

(war crimes optional)

woven breach
#

I'm still thinking of warcrimes I might've committed

polar dragon
woven breach
#

and honestly I never thought I'd say that

polar dragon
#

is the extermination of demons a genocide?

hallow wadi
#

i'd say so

woven breach
#

I mean

hallow wadi
#

unless they're like.. animals... then maybe it's something else

woven breach
#

polar dragon
#

hallow wadi
