Single player games better anyway

BO1 just had the best zombie mode till this day
fair elbow
Back when you had to do some secret hackerman 3000 biz to get into the experimental zombie mode
slate thorn
For me BO3 is peak zombies, because it just has everything, and the modding scene is huge
placid otter
BO1 just had the best zombie mode till this day
nah 2 and 3 way more fun. 1 and WaW were just very straight forward. even my dad played kino der toten for years.
fair elbow
I hate the bus zombie map
placid otter
I hate the bus zombie map
transit is returning fyi
smoky imp
Kino der Toten 
fair elbow
Part of the thrill of zombie mode is being constrained into one small map which ups the scare factor
Well for me anyways
placid otter
transit is cool until u run between areas. then it is just annoying
fair elbow
When playing with my cousins in tranzit, they just leave a crawling zombie and we ride the bus around and for me that was boring
slate thorn
Bo3 modded zombies with friends is just peak gaming experience
placid otter
to spend ur cash for mystery box or literally a driving sim?
fair elbow
They do a lot of things
slate thorn
Tranzit easter egg is so annoying. The story is good though
fair elbow
As someone who grew up playing WaW zombies, it was a wild experience
placid otter
When playing with my cousins in tranzit, they just leave a crawling zombie and w...
well, sounds like ur not playing zombies at that point so ofc it would be boring
slate thorn
It's a shame tranzit never saw its full potential due to the console limitations
placid otter
but transit alot of ppl find it one of the least fun maps
slate thorn
They had so much more planned for it
fair elbow
Yeah, I find most fun in zombies when we all see how high we can get the number
slate thorn
Like several bus routes, no fog, and a lot more
But the console was already at its limit with the current tranzit map size including all the fog to lower the render distance
fair elbow
I remember playing online and I killed the single crawling zombie and everybody in the game trashed me for it 
Though I did finally understand that people leave that one so they can farm the mystery box
placid otter
yeah is hard to do box when having a hoard behind you
slate thorn
Or do easter egg steps
placid otter
tranzit and some other maps to be remasterd for bo 2025. hope they do more with them
slate thorn
With the og treyarch people gone, i doubt it
fair elbow
I don't wanna go "Back in my day 👴" but I just find today's zombies is different from the old zombies 
slate thorn
So i think it'll just be the original map but with new graphics and probably some easter eggs added and such
placid otter
different, but i find them way more fun
slate thorn
I don't vibe with the latest zombies
Like, Vanguard was the last zombies I believe? And that just sucks really
placid otter
vanguard? we dont talk about that one
slate thorn
And cold war is also pretty ass
placid otter
cold war is great
fair elbow
Is the flamethrower still OP?
fair elbow
Flamethrower + Pack a Punch 
slate thorn
Bo4 is the last good zombies experience to me
placid otter
lol
slate thorn
And bo4 was already kinda funky
placid otter
ur def in the minority with both those opinions
slate thorn
Am I really?
placid otter
yeah
slate thorn
Like, saying that Bo3 is the best zombies and that vanguard sucks doesnt really sound likr a minority opinion to me
placid otter
bo4 zombies was horribly received and only was slightly better received towards the end of the games life span
placid otter
meanwhile cold war was very well received and to many even their favourite
most people do still consider bo2 or 3 the best, but after that it is cw
slate thorn
I will definitively pick bo4 any day of the week over cold way though
I'll pick all of them, excluding exo and vanguard zombies over cold war really
placid otter
vanguard being bad is everyones opinion. atleast until they brought back round based which is when it became playable at best
slate thorn
The only worse ones than cold war imo are exo and vanguard
Oh, and ww2, i forgot that existed
placid otter
i havent played exo and ww2
exo is kinda mixed how ppl think of it. some like the change some dont
placid otter
i believe the maps of exo was positively looked upon
ghosts was fun, but not something i'd see repeated
fair elbow
"How do we make a WW2 game feel like a WW2 game?"
"Let's add a D-Day mission, that's definitely never been done before!"
slate thorn
My list would be bo3 > bo2 > bo1 > waw = infinite = bo4 > cold war > exo = ww2 > vanguard
Exo has cool maps and a cool story. It's just that the gameplay is kinda... just really bland
placid otter
hmm? they still make spec ops
slate thorn
Like, exo zombies is just pretty boring. Like, how do you make a zombies gamemode in cod boring?
placid otter
Like, exo zombies is just pretty boring. Like, how do you make a zombies gamemod...
ask vanguard
slate thorn
Vanguard isn't even boring
It's just tedious and bad
I also feel like infinite warfare zombies are pretty underrated
placid otter
falling asleep with how much down time there is and how short it all was
fair elbow
Isn't Infinite just Titanfall? Or at least that's what the memes told me
placid otter
slate thorn
Infinite warfare zombies takes a lot of creative freedom i guess is the best way to describe it. But it's super fun to play
placid otter
iirc they said that mw3 zombies is actually cannon to the bo story sadly
fair elbow
I'm not into the futuristic eras of cod, sure I had fun playing BO2 but I just wasn't that immersed
Then Infinite added Gundams
smoky imp
I think Advanced Warfare or whatever the name was had good ideas with the exoskeletons but they barely made any differences
The only thing you remember from that game is press F to pay respects and Kevin Spacey being the predictable villain
I still liked the futuristic setting tho
fair elbow
I just want a realistic shooter with real military vehicles
smoky imp
Bo1 will be my favorite but I liked mw3 and Bo2 a lot too
fair elbow
Wait that's just Arma 2 OA 
fair elbow
Arma 3 got some fictional vehicles which is why prefer Arrowhead
slate thorn
There is always Rising Storm 2
Or Red Orchestra 2, although idk how many people still play that
fair elbow
There is always Rising Storm 2
But does Fortunate Sons play in the background?
slate thorn
I'm sure someone on your squad will play it over voice when you're in a heli :^)
placid otter
battlebit def fun no clue if ppl still play though
slate thorn
When it comes to shooters i'm mainly sad that battlefield is dead 😔
fair elbow
According to SteamDB, there's about 14K playing right now
placid otter
oh that is very good
fair elbow
I can't afford Battlebit so Roblox version it is for me
jovial wolf
I am sure the replies will be as civil as they were when they removed the mod for Spiderman
fair elbow
The fact that someone went out of their time and day to develop a mod to remove an optional choice that one can simply ignore speaks volumes
random field
oh it gets better
they only removed he/him and she/her
so the game just defaults to they/them
so it just made everyone non-binary
slate thorn
Lmao
dry gale
so the game just defaults to they/them
Could have just switched to They/them without the need for downloading a mod lol
random field
the point is the people who feel the need to do stupid shit like that HATE pronouns and HATE the idea there being more than just male and female. so its funny that their mod was such a fuck up that it didnt remove the one set of pronouns they hate the most.

xbox full convergence with the rest of microsoft lol
whats the next console gonna be called then, xbox office 365?
glass knot
only xbox
minor bolt
theyre also deciding between switching to arm from x86 too
which will likely kill off backwards compatibility, unless they get their shit together with their arm emulation
which is currently terrible compared to apple
minor bolt
sounds like shit
dry gale
Native + Cloud what is that
dry gale
Wow their whole plan leaked
minor bolt
when their entire defence against the ftc was cloud was bad and no one likes it
when in reality theyre basing their next console on it
minor bolt
it wouldnt be graphics
they tried this with the xbox one and it never panned out
the idea is that you offload some of the tasks the console is doing locally off to azure servers
which frees up the local machine to do more
dry gale
the idea is that you offload some of the tasks the console is doing locally off ...
Tasks like what
minor bolt
i think crackdown 3? tried it
anything that takes a lot of compute
physics simulation for example
dry gale
That means you need a lot of internet for this console
jovial wolf
not really
dry gale
But a faster internet
jovial wolf
that it takes a lot of compute does not mean it needs a lot of data to transfer
dry gale
just need low ping so it doesnt look weird
And yet cloud gaming is still in beta
How they gonna do this before 2028
minor bolt
cloud gaming isnt the same thing
in the case of crackdown 3, it uses azure servers for its building destruction
stuff is calculated on servers instead of the local machine
because physics compute is difficult
cloud gaming is having the game rendered on a remote server and youre just sending inputs while recieving the output
but yes its really funny seeing ms downplay cloud just to get abk over the line while actually banking on it heavily
dry gale
messed up really
LMFAOOO
HOW MANY COMPANIES

They were gonna acquire NINTENDO
minor bolt
they were exploring the idea of it, not /going to/

you need better reading comprehension honestly
minor bolt

this is only bad
the fact that phil would treat buying nintendo as a career moment is gross as fuck
they don't care about making good games, just buying everything up
scarlet cape

Instead of an apex game mode

So Titanfall 3 announcement soon?
glass knot
Doubt
dry gale
Which includes apex characters?
minor bolt
tf3 was in the nvidia leaks, but iirc what was tf3 ended up turning into apex
minor bolt
they should do what cod did and merge the two game clients
so apex's non-br modes are just titanfall
glass knot
That'd be hype
minor bolt
and itd pump players into titanfall
glass knot
I know they wanna put titans on apex for a while
minor bolt
ye i remember they were working on a legend whos ult was a mini titan
glass knot
But haven't ever found a proper way to do it that wasn't stupid
dry gale
I know they wanna put titans on apex for a while
C'mon that was their original project
glass knot
Cause you can't really put a titan and make it not overpowered i guess
And if it's overpowered it fucks up the game balance
Not really an easy idea to implement in a way that wouldn't fuck up the game lol
dry gale
Then power up the Titan destroying weapons
glass knot
Whatever this is the lead up is cool at least so i hope it's a cool announcement
dry gale
Power up charge rifle for example
But it will insta kill players

The switch version isn't just a port tho, it's a different version of the game entirely
developed by Shiver Entertainment and Saber Interactive
So if they're actually making an entirely different version of the game to accommodate the switch you'd actually expect it to work somewhat properly

man shud I really have to run games at 30 fps nowadays?
placid otter
that is a you problem
they cant stay stuck on older hardware forever. especially if they want to make as big a game as cyberpunk is
scarlet cape
if you're a pc gamer yes
that's just how it is
you get your next level graphics if you put the money in
placid otter
yeah ofc it is different if they do for console. if they say their going to do it for the ps4 they have to do it properly. not what they did on launch.

scarlet cape
its insane in comparison
placid otter
PC upgrades is always playing chase the tail every 3-5 years
sweet spot seems to be every 2 generations (every 4 years)
pearl cobalt
now, GPUs look like half the system
placid otter
price wise they always have been
pearl cobalt
yeah, the gap is smaller now
placid otter
now, GPUs look like half the system
probably because graphics only go up and up and those are simply gpu heavy more so than cpu and ram.
cities skylines 2 for example is way more heavy on cpu and ram side
scarlet cape
half the time now it feels like games are just trying to be difficult though
there's no reason for some of the games i play to be above 50gb but they are
idk if its devs not bothering to compress audio or because i have to download 4k everything even when i don't use it
its lame
placid otter
oh yeah, i have no idea about download sizes. is mostly just audio and high graphics that take up the most
pearl cobalt
feel like it's only a matter of time before a dev sells a game only on a huge ssd external drive, with custom looks, etc

Ubisoft will be free to offer Activision’s games both directly to consumers and to all cloud gaming service providers however it chooses, including for buy-to-play or multigame subscription services, or any new model for providing content that might emerge as the market develops.

So, the acquisition is approved but...
Cloud rights of Activision are going to Ubisoft?
Tell me how good of a deal this is
placid otter
it has not been fully approved yet
they are simply looking at it more positively. final judgement before october 18th
"I want to make sure people know that there's work to actually move games to Game Pass," Spencer said. "So, for the people who think the deal is going to close and then everything's available, that's not true. And it hasn't been true in other acquisitions that we've done. There's work for us to go do, just mechanical work for us to go do. So, it'll take us time, definitely time to get the games in the portfolio."

he's not wrong in saying gp is value destructive though
typical $60 games being playable day 1 on a $10 p/m service just devalues that $60 so much

the way it was done in payday 2 meant that you could host a dlc heist and anyone (even non-owners of the dlc) could join and play these maps, in turn the dlc content was installed regardless of ownership
