you also see a bunch of mats in public lockers because people don't usually want to move that much material.

majority dont do all this sidestuff. i build 2 roads just because i had the mats while passing by. if it wasnt so time consuming would of considerd doing more
pearl cobalt
when advancing up the story and unlocking areas, more mats just pour in because more people adding their stuff to the network and making it easier to upgrade everything since they add mats to help with upgrading and so on

the actual vinyl cover is a bit underwhelming but it is what it is i guess

the alicia side is pretty cool so i guess you can put it backwards

But it's EA

yeah good one

So it wouldn't be a surprise if they completely ruin the game a 3rd time

only saving grace could probably be the studio consolidation under bf studios

Then it would be limited to the UK
Companies are just using this as an excuse to get our private data in totally secure and safe ways, trust
Luckily this should be pretty much illegal in the EU
jovial wolf
The leaker claims Rockstar plans to roll out out age verification in the near future, starting with the UK
also just "limited to the uk" still means that they have to implement it
minor bolt
wtf
yeah idk, it's happened 4 times today. i'm thinking my dryer being on the other side of the wall is overloading the circuit my room is on

slate thorn
Well, BF6 auto set itself to high/ultra at 1440p so I guess I'll leave it at that
azure echo
Luckily this should be pretty much illegal in the EU
is it actually? I thought EU is also adding age verification laws similar to the UK
neon scroll
is it actually? I thought EU is also adding age verification laws similar to the...
They're not, though there's always plans by populists running on "pr0n bad, games bad, violent movies bad" etc
But getting that through EU legislation is a whole different story
azure echo
Ah I see, so it was more like guidelines than regulations
and each country would have to implement it themselves if they do
it does feel like the winds are blowing in that direction though all of the sudden across many countries, feels weird.
neon scroll
That is correct. Germany does have "confirm that you are 18 or older" popups for adult oriented websites, but demanding the upload of official IDs like that is just flatout illegal. Even for stuff like getting new credit cards or whatever.
azure echo
one of the solutions being proposed is digital government IDs, similar to say what south korea has, and using that to confirm, but even that feels like a severe invasion of privacy and tracking...
slate thorn
EU is working on age verification stuff
neon scroll
There's a whole system in place where you have to video chat with an actual human and hold up your ID next to yourself in said video chat, but that's really only just stuff like CCs and other financial transactions
But they also are not allowed to save anything
much less in some shady game dev database that a 5yr old could hack
azure echo
yeah I've seen similar things to that here as well for certain state and federal services
an app where you chat with a real agent that confirms your account
neon scroll
Ye
azure echo
or 3 weeks wait time for a physical mail to arrive with appropriate codes
neon scroll
Yeah, that's also an option
azure echo
which for government and banking makes a lot of sense
azure echo
yeah I prefer the mail option, and once you've made your account, it no longer needs that verification every time
azure echo
this the same EU that wanted backdoor to end to end encrypted chats?
neon scroll
And that's the thing, really. There's much easier methods of age verification than uploading actual official photo ID. Which, again, is not legal in the EU to begin with
neon scroll
this the same EU that wanted backdoor to end to end encrypted chats?
I mean, every country tries that
azure echo
this experiment in age verification is bound to fail eventually, just a matter of how stubborn these countries turn out to be and how authoritarian they want to get
neon scroll
Especially the US, for that matter
azure echo
but it's funny that they waited until general digital literacy has fallen for the new generation to push these measures, I guess the new generation will have to lean more about VPNs and piracy lol
neon scroll
this experiment in age verification is bound to fail eventually, just a matter o...
It'll take about 5 minutes for people to figure out how to trick any automated system anyway
Be it through VPN or chat gpt created pictures with game characters in it
azure echo
and likely soon enough simple open source scripts posted on github that will circumvent it all anyway lol
slate thorn
The EU does share how their internal systems work for transparency reasons so making stuff to bypass probably won't be too difficult for some people out there
azure echo
the advanced users will dumb it down for the average normie, look at how easily accessible adblocks or other userscripts have become, but it'll depend on what methods of verification become more commonplace, it's a whole stew of different ones right now
handled by a mixture of private companies

even if you had none
wide sentinel
oop
slate thorn
I know it's an open beta, but the current state of the game feels like it's pretty rushed
wide sentinel
sadly that is the normal these days in the western gaming market
slate thorn
Especially when it comes to like menu'ing, having to press like 100 buttons just to modify my weapon is not it
No option to adjust settings in firing range to finetune sensitivity in 2025 is just?????
But yeah, the menu's and stuff don't feel untuitive
Gameplay itself is fine, it's better than 2042 but that's not really a high bar
It's trying to mimick BF3 and 4, but it just feels a bit off with everything. It's as if you're dreaming that you're playing BF4, it's just all a bit weird and not quite right
wide sentinel
i hope the menu for customising guns can be little better then
battlebit did that bit right
and ez
slate thorn
It's not just that
Every single menu is just bad
Everything outside of the actual game part itself is awful to navigate
neon scroll
I see the BF beta is going swimmingly
slate thorn
You go to modify a weapon, test it in the firing range, leave the firing range to adjust stuff, except it dumps you back to some random menu
In the settings you adjust something, go back, and it puts you in a different menu than you were before so you have to navigate back to continue adjusting settings
wide sentinel
oh yea i had that when editing my settings
slate thorn
No options to take off attachments quickly, have to manually select an attachment, open the menu, remove the attachment, close the menu
slate thorn
In the deploy screen, can't just click your weapon to change or modify it, have to press x to select loadout first, then you select the weapon, then you select modify, then you select modify again, and then you can change your scope in there, which requires another like 3 menu presses
wide sentinel
yea that's annoying
slate thorn
Another issue I have is that the entire game just feels like it has the image sharpening set to 500% and it just kinda hurts to look at
It's a fun game, but it's just... it feels very rushed in it's current state. Like, it feels as if this game needs another year in the oven or something
wide sentinel
interesting
slate thorn
Also just bad netcode stuff, but it's EA, their servers are a joke. Like, I would shoot an enemy, fire 3 shots at him with DMR, kill him. My mag only lost 2 bullets
Or getting killed nearly a second after already being around the corner
minor bolt
actual gameplay feels decent, but yeah the menus need a ton of work
slate thorn
Yeah, the game itself is fine, it feels like "we have BF4 at home" in a not bad way. But it just feels like it needs a lot of work still
Also when a sniper aims at you and it's like the sun is inside your eyeballs
The glints are insane
placid otter

ye, from another discord when the beta started
I'm waiting for the open beta this weekend. hearing mostly good, with the obvious exception of the UI and long queues.
Zampella does have a good track record.
looking forward to the weekend as the last one I played was One but never played the DLCs. played all the previous before that
still a steep price tho
wide sentinel
Played it now for like 3-4h
Gameplay is fun, here and there wack bullet registration but i got a 6+ quick kill and such so, had fun
slate thorn
Yeah, the game is fine, just everything surrounding it sucks ass
wide sentinel
I had issues with the steam open beta compared to the ea open beta so, i suggest getting the ea version
As for menu's
Customizing ur gun is okay ish
I click fast through it
slate thorn
Compared to other games it's super clunky
wide sentinel
Only thing i hate is you have to click "save"
slate thorn
Also, it just feels like all the menu's are like 20 fps
wide sentinel
Cause i had where i edit my loadout, i load in game and my loadout didn't save...
The mountain map i hate it already
It's way too open and one side heavy advantage

one thing I'm missing is the music ramping up a lot when tickets are close to ending

Apparently there are already cheaters on BF6 beta
There is a program that can "fool" secure boot so you can get past that and cheat away

Wait, the Switch 2 is more powerful than the Series S?
minor bolt
more like series shit
slate thorn
Series S is still the prime example of great idea and just awful execution
neon scroll
The series S has been to many games what the PS4 was for Cyberpunk. Devs are forced to optimize their games for it despite clearly aiming for hardware that is not that shit and ruining their game performance for other platforms as well in the process
Which btw is entirely on Xbox who make the delulu demand that all games released for any of their systems run smoothly on the S as well

At this point the hytale development cycle is going to be older than the age of the people playing it
minor bolt
they stopped development a month or so ago didnt they
slate thorn
Hasn't development for it stopped and started like 20 times
minor bolt
don't think so, they went through an engine migration a while ago
it was just in development hell and riot eventually canned it

so far so good with a new gpu
also i spoke too soon, as soon as i started a game up it crashes within minutes gg

Could be a driver issue since you know, Nvidia moment
566.36 is still always a very safe bet
minor bolt
three driver versions across two gpus, including clean installs via ddu
seems unlikely
running an undervolt and its gotten further which i think points even more to a psu/power issue
minor bolt
ok lol maybe it actually is a driver issue, i had no idea there was known issues
some posts are describing my exact problem

bf6 beta opening up again today thank god
was playing a bit of 2042 and it can be pretty fun
sniping and taking down vehicles just always feel good

hopefully they fixed the rooftop problem on cairo

hopefully there's no weird driver issues this time too
kept getting a driver timeout error on it
game runs super well tho
curious abt empire state map
looks fun from what I've seen of it
also bit larger scale than the ones on first weekend
minor bolt
yeah the existing maps were a bit small
domination felt way too small and fast for my liking, too much like cod
glass knot
seen playtesters saying theres bigger maps and stuff but that they probably need to add some more of them to have more variety
at least weekend 1 for me was very chaotic lmao all maps were pretty small, feels like they wanted to cut some downtime
but some downtime on bf is usually good, its a very chaotic game lol
was really wild going from that to bf2042 with the really big and open maps
and seeing that contrast
stable stratus
minor bolt
but some downtime on bf is usually good, its a very chaotic game lol
yep thats why i didn't like domination, it's way too much for such a small space
might have to give 2042 another try before bf6 comes out. i remember trying the beta and it was ass

Even now it's ass because the fundamentals of the game just suck. And a polished turd is still a turd

If you like looter shooters then the game is for you
I have a couple hundred hours in the game but got kinda burned out

i think my big issue for lag is my monitor haha

Sometimes I feel like getting back into it again, but then I remember the grinding

cairo is decent yea, mountain map is imo still way too open and barely cover
i hate the sniper glint so much, i zoom in once and i get RPG'd, tanks shooting at me and everything
minor bolt
if they made it so you couldn’t sit on the middle mountain, it wouldn’t be so bad. the only exposed area would then be F to C
wide sentinel
yea entire area F, E and C is so open
C to A & B is also quite open tbf
only decent cover is B - D

at least E is far enough away that most people can’t aim snipers well enough to get you
