[storm kernel]

any of yall mfs downloading that GTA V "enhanced" edition on PC?

I might just to try the RT stuff.

[celest blaze]

i'm tempted too tbh

[storm kernel]

would be nice if there was an option to only download the story stuff, I don't wanna download the full 100 GB package

[dry pasture]

honestly just dawned on my now that it’s just called exosuit, not shield of duty exosuit

[turbid hull]

I would say a little, she does things kind of old school and always do training for becoming better, she is the strongest character in both gameplay and lore rn btw

[dire dagger]

well DA,M

maybe i can loose all my money

Mf zzz sleeping simulator or some shit idk

[turbid hull]

Very combat and team comp focused gatcha game, some characters got some really good JIGGLE physics, if you know what I mean

Real-time combat btw

[dry pasture]

the warehouse with the collar quest, do you get locked out once you’ve finished the quests there cause i forgot to grab the seva suit upgrade there

[orchid gale]

5 PM EST!!!!!

[dire dagger]

So do you play with controller or nah

[turbid hull]

Ah I’m pst

[turbid hull]

You can do either keyboard or controller, depends on your personal preference

[dire dagger]

I used a switch controller to play fate samurai remnant

Which honestly sucked cus you can’t remap the buttons on pc

[turbid hull]

Oh idk about that lol

[dire dagger]

But now I got a real controller

And nothing to use it for lol

[turbid hull]

Hell yeah

[dire dagger]

I really liked fate samurai remnant

Personally recommend

[turbid hull]

I will take a look, not really familiar with fate series tho

[dire dagger]

It’s pretty epic

Got the gold dude with the infinite swords

Pretty bad ass if I do say so myself

[turbid hull]

The game looks great, just wishlist it, will get it on sale

[dire dagger]

And of course it’s got BOOBS

Well only a few but still

[orchid gale]

I want a controller
(toxic women pls hmu dms open)

Where tf is the roadmap hello? It’s March already

[dim topaz]

Time just keeps marching on huh

[twin pulsar]

It really is a joke at this point. Charged full price for an early access title with HUGE lack of features. Slow to patch absolutely game breaking bugs and awful performance. This company is a complete farce. 6m players guys, pat yourself on the backs for pulling the wool over people’s eyes great job

Can I refund this pos somehow after more than 2h?

[dim topaz]

Have you tried opening a support ticket

[dim topaz]

I heard legends that you once documented 72 years of cordon a-life activity
Do you still have some of that content stored somewhere?

[empty gorge]

sshhh its dangerous to express such hard words here, try to silently implement it in your posts.

[crystal merlin]

I tried a weapons rebalance mod and....it feels wrong.
Like I appreciate that the modder makes the AKs more powerful than some SMGs and pistols, and I love to use it that way, but when I look at the guns and their upgrade cost, it's broken.
Like I can upgrade the 74S to make it more useful than an Fora, but the cost for the upgrades and repair is so low it makes the Fora,as well as many later game guns, feel unnecessary.

What I'm trying to say is that the mod isn't necessarily solved all the problem with guns balance in the game.
I hope GSC will do this themselves.

[tiny token]

meow

[crystal merlin]

But enough bashing, stalker 2 is a great horror game when it wants to.

[ripe patrol]

Have you tried Modular Hard Mode yet?

[wraith socket]

I have been known to spend an entire month (game time) in the Cordon before first leaving for Garbage in SoC.

In another game, I waited an entire year (game time) before I entered Pripyat in SoC too.

[dim topaz]

As someone who adores such experiments, I beseech the fruits of your research.

[wraith socket]

I'm still in my first and only game now.

[dim topaz]

Christ on a bike

[empty gorge]

im at 326 hours and havent finished game yet, just passed rostok and need to go red forest

[wraith socket]

I've only gotten as far as connecting from Slag Heap to Cement Factory & Slag Heap to Rostok. I still have not done the main mission I was supposed to do when I first arrived in Garbage.

[empty gorge]

what are you even doing in game then?

[wraith socket]

It was 230 hours before I left the Lesser Zone. I went to the Cordon and spent 485 hours (between Cordon & Lesser Zone) before I left for Garbage.

[nimble cipher]

fiery_badger_88916 has been warned

Reason: Posted an invite

[finite dragon]

Has your issue been resolved ?

[empty gorge]

you joking? but like what did you do for 400 hours in those 2 zones? what even is there in lesser zone for 230h

[crystal merlin]

Not yet, seem complicated

[wraith socket]

My entire game is being recorded and uploaded to YT. I go all around everywhere. Exploring every single corner multiple times. Repeat visits are always different.

I got the Mark 1 EMR rifle and Ballistic Helmet from fighting and looting in the Lesser Zone.

[empty gorge]

[dim topaz]

I like to think I explored the game pretty thoroughly in my humble 100-ish hours playthrough. What do you DO for 500 hours?

[empty gorge]

like he said, explore every. single. corner. and. cravity. in. map. its wild

theres just way too few itemization for me to explore, he must be running mods adding items no?

[empty gorge]

i would lose it if i found my 2000th energy drink after 500h

[wraith socket]

The thing is, when I spent 230 hours in the Lesser Zone, I activated over 100 purple stashes everywhere in all the other territories. Just like you can in SoC.

It's like having pre-positioned supplies for you everywhere, no matter which direction you go in.

It's my bed time. Check out my YT channel if you want to see what I do and where I go. I do not talk but write extensive comments.

[empty gorge]

whats channel name

[wraith socket]

Click on my PFP (twice) and you will see the link.

[broken latch]

He is documenting everything

Leaving no stone unturned

[crystal merlin]

I wonder if GSC, or if the engine allows them to, adjust the NPCs so that they can behave better.
I noticed that the gunner enemies in this game, or maybe all NPCs that use guns, somehow react very very slow.
It takes them like a few secs to pull out their weapon and shoot if they're not already have guns on their hands.

They're also very bad at using covers, a lot of time they peak their heads out and I could simply drop them like that.
The way they move is weird too, they just can't move normally, there's probably some problem with their path finding, and they seem to be slow in everything.

[celest blaze]

relax bro lol

look what happened at the 2 month delay we know fixing and content are coming id rather them not fail to deliver yet again

[jade geyser]

any info about adding faction wars inside the game, do they plan it or no, anyone knows?

[celest blaze]

no info but id love if it came tbh

[jade geyser]

sad

[celest blaze]

fr

best part of the trilogy was faction wars imo

[twin pulsar]

We don’t really know shit, all there is are some vague answers on this discord. The roadmap would at least provide an indication where they think the game needs work and more additions

[hazy helm]

They already said no faction wars

[celest blaze]

[jade geyser]

sad

[celest blaze]

i hope we get a global war mod for stalker 2 one day

[storm kernel]

Uh oh! Sounds like somebody got a little bit filtered!

[twin pulsar]

Wdym

[storm kernel]

tbh after Ward forced all factions to sign treaty under threat of the Ward killing all of them if war started again, makes sense

[storm kernel]

mod the stalker 2 map into ARMA, add in stuff like anomalies with a mod, and now you have your own "global war" mod, idk I think it would be kinda cool

[granite mortar]

boooo
Ward 👎
BOOOOOO

[celest blaze]

I like the sounds of this I love global war itself but CoC engine can be a little unstable lol

[storm kernel]

honestly I like the idea of what Duty and Ward share, about destroying the Zone, it's just that Ward are kinda just pawns for SIRCAA which turned out to be far worse for everybody

[granite mortar]

Ward is just lame fun police
only good thing about them is the armours and the fact Lt. Novák exists
Think he was a Lt.

[dim topaz]

from a moral POV ward and Duty are right

The zone is just too dangerous to be left as is

[granite mortar]

From fun POV they are LAME

[celest blaze]

freedom and clear sky POV are correct imo

[granite mortar]

technically every faction works and makes sense in some way
Except for IPSF

fuсk IPSF

[celest blaze]

ONG

hell I'd take unisg over ipsf

[granite mortar]

Id take Marauders from Survivor: Escape from the Zone over them
Goddamn generic baddie faction got more depth than ipsf

did thos guys replace the military

[granite mortar]

Pretty much

[zinc apex]

[finite dragon]

Mornin

[celest blaze]

I'd join instantly

Morning @finite dragon

[granite mortar]

thats because of different branches
border guards probably get low wages for pretty bad work so they have to make money some other way
While soldiers tasked with operations deep beyond the perimeter are probably more honorable as well as better paid

[finite dragon]

Ayy Whatsup

[outer laurel]

usually also more skilled and dealier especialy the military stalkers in SOC

[finite dragon]

Why is there 30sec timeout
Bruh on a ded chat

And here im who plays game till morning

[celest blaze]

Based haha

[finite dragon]

My timetable is fked

[crystal merlin]

Come to think of it, is the Grom S15 is like an end game AK-74S? Since it uses the same ammo and under barrel grenade

[storm kernel]

spending 14k coupons alone repairing my armor yesterday was fun, 20k repairing all my guns n stuff altogether. Went from having almost 200k coupons to only 181k

should go to rostok and sell all my red-tier guns, that should get me back on track (hopefully)

[storm kernel]

I wish I could play the game for that long, but I'm too worried it'll fry my CPU because it runs HOT on STALKER (and any other intensive games), I gotta replace thermal paste and clean my PC sometime soon

[finite dragon]

💀i have a gaming laptop

[crystal merlin]

You should always repair your gears as soon as possible, don't wait for them to go below 70-80%, because the less durability they have, the more you have to pay for repair and it's multiply.
I think everyone should just use the mods that allows players to sell red gears to all traders,I'm using it.

[hazy helm]

Don't tango with the demon

[urban basin]

Im so sorry to hear that

[storm kernel]

true, but I was doing a chain of main story stuff so I really didn't get the opportunity to double back to a repairman to get my stuff fixed

[storm kernel]

put frying pan on top of gaming laptop, make your breakfast when playing video games

[sly matrix]

Why would anyone want a burned breakfast...?

[finite dragon]

Bro why tf is this game crashing every 10 seconds

[celest blaze]

Ngl I'd still take a gaming laptop over console

All my homies hate consoles

[celest blaze]

Ong

[finite dragon]

I used to be a console pleb swtich to pc never looked back pc won me

[storm kernel]

PC always gets all the console games anyways, we always win in the end

[finite dragon]

True facts also even better mods too

[storm kernel]

b-but GTA VI!!

GTA VI will get a PC port within a year or two of console release with enhanced graphics and performance, like RDR2 and GTA V

[finite dragon]

I've sold my consoles quickly after I gotten my pc then modded up a few stalker games

[finite dragon]

Makes me mad gta vi gonna have console release first then later the pc version coming in atleast we'll have cooler mods

if its crashing then verify files and update drivers

Nah man forget it. I'll be back next year once the devs fixed this buggy mess

Did they just change halusination effect? Everything looks doubled now lol

[zinc apex]

Uhhhhm actually I think you're wrong 🤓

[finite dragon]

There's nothing I can do because this game just keeps crashing every 10 seconds at this point

Have you try updating drivers or messing with settings ?

Had that issue before until I updated my drivers game ran smooth after that for me

[celest blaze]

Updating drivers is always a good idea

[finite dragon]

I did everything
I'm just losing patience at this point, I'd rather do another thing instead
So thank you and I'm leaving this server. I'll be back once the game is fixed

Have you found issues with it or would like to see something changed? My next version 2.2.5 will be more community focused and would like to gather experiences and opinions.

[finite dragon]

Honestly I thought vanilla weather was cool. I haven’t used the mod. But If it’s possible to fix the weird overly shiny/pixelated guns in rain that would incentivize me to use it

[ripe patrol]

If you like the base vanilla weathers, my mod is modular enough to keep the default weathers looking the same while adding the new expanded weather events which are hand made

[finite dragon]

Mod looks cool I just looked up nexus page. Is there an fps loss

[ripe patrol]

None, but I might be wrong. I use the systems already in place. Maybe weather's like foggy which up the amount of volumetric fog density, but even there I've yet to notice a performance impact

[empty gorge]

+1 on dwo

[zinc apex]

Release mod tools

[lean folio]

I'm going to a metal festival later this year for four days. The official festival people commented on my partner's comment "i WILL steal your girlfriend im so sorry". How do I feel about that? 😂😅

[zinc apex]

Pdiddy metal festival

[lean folio]

Gonna need a safety plan if the staff decide they're gonna steal me 😂

[lofty helm]

[finite dragon]

They are scared to release mod tools cause we will start dropping dlc before them

I swear someone would have made limansk already

[zinc apex]

100%. What modders do without tools is impressive af

[ripe patrol]

Tell me about it. Between Desolation and Modular Hard Mode we got a different game already

[empty gorge]

aint no s2 dev out there atm playing vanilla on pc, thats for sure 🤣

[zinc apex]

Just drop source code. Community will gladly polish and finish up the game

[ripe patrol]

Probably not for the next 5-6 years. And seeing how GSC behaves this time around I don't think they'd do it

Their Microsoft Corpo overlords won't allow it. GSC really stooped to being Eastern European Ubisoft

Just hoping that with SDK release they'll actually open up on communication with their modding community. Crazy for me that they haven't even said a peep about that. PING MOL1T you hear Mee!!!?? Literally just get some community ambassador or whatever to open communications with us for crying out loud. Me and others have already spent hundreds of hours working on your game, with nothing but love for what you guys made! SAY SOMETHING!

But nah they'll just release a silly 6 million players posts, or some out of touch Valentine's Day Instagram/tiktok reel, or keep posting on #📜┃gsc-answers some generic responses.... Rant over I guess

[empty gorge]

[unreal raptor]

just to say i hear and echo your sentiments — need some transparency here. Hiding is only making the problems worse. Making me think there is some really serious stuff that might be holding the development back, A-Life 0.2 being a big one of them.

[empty gorge]

aint no way gsc disbanded jn 2011 to come back as western european AAA gaming company. where is my slav jank huh? HUH

[ripe patrol]

They have a very dedicated community, even from the beginning everyone was making mods, tearing things apart and getting really into it. They did 0 to capitalize on that, on opening up to their community, and now most of the modders have been burned out

[empty gorge]

official mod support shortly after release that will be expanded on further -> 1 month after release aes encryption key gets removed. 3 months after -> still being prepped, brother if your roadmap is still being prepped after 2 months we know whats up

[ripe patrol]

But to be completely fair. I'd rather get a-life before sdk

[empty gorge]

give me a roadmap for starters, damn this restaurant cooks slow

[drowsy blade]

I don’t want a roadmap tbh

at least not until the game isn’t as broken as it is right now.

[ripe patrol]

Also why is there a 30 second slow mode of this chat. GSC really cares little for any discourse on their game

[empty gorge]

the hell with content roadmaps, i mean what are the plans? what are you working on? the endgoal here?

[drowsy blade]

That’s because at launch this place was apparently a nightmare for the mod team, they had to slow it down

[empty gorge]

i dont care about cold island if my world is dead cold of life and optimization and what not

[ripe patrol]

Are we allowed to ping molt or will that get me banned so fast

[drowsy blade]

I personally wouldn’t recommend it

[empty gorge]

dm him, its what i do. he cool in dm

(was with me atleast)

[drowsy blade]

I don’t think you’ll be banned either way

[ripe patrol]

Ah cool

I might just ask my gf to write in Ukrainian to him for me lol

[empty gorge]

doesnt mean its allowed haha

[drowsy blade]

Yeah fair

[empty gorge]

just ask access to the noosphere with a winky smiley

[drowsy blade]

I’m all for being patient with GSC for now, but I do agree with some of you guys’ points. I wish they’d be at least a little more open with what’s happening. I don’t think anybody would mind if they told us what they’re working to fix right now. Even a rough outline of the order in which they wanna work through things would be good enough for me.

[zinc apex]

Soon should be good enough for us peasants

[drowsy blade]

Optimization and bug fixes should be their main priority right now. Because if they try to release the A-Life in the game’s current state of optimization it would probably make the game quite literally unplayable for a large portion of the players.

[orchid gale]

Because when there wasn’t a slow mode it was pure anarchy, the timer is needed

IEVGEN, MARIA WHERE ALIFE

[north violet]

Lol, my dude you haven't seen shit if you think S2 is a hackjob.

Anyone else here play Starforge? Now that shit was a hackjob and and actual scam.

I mean, look at what No Man's Sky did/is doing post-launch, you can make major changes post-release if you really want to.

I'm 28 and I played SoC only a couple of years after it came out. I think maybe very late 2000s, very early 2010s?

[sly matrix]

2007

[stiff pasture]

Ever heard of a little thing called Day of Dragons? That shit was bad too

[north violet]

There's been barely any mention of multiplayer since launch, I don't think they're going to spend development time on that at any point soon.

[celest portal]

Lol yeah, I've seen NMS go from mostly negative reviews to very positive.

[north violet]

No, I mean when I played it, not when it released.

[north violet]

Oh yeah, I think I watched a video essay on it.

Like, S2 is definitely unfinished and has problems, but it is no where near the level of a hackjob.

[stiff pasture]

If you want to see actual hack jobs and scams, open up Steam and start scrolling through the early access section, you’ll find dozens if not hundreds of em (granted not all EA games are scams)

[north violet]

Dude, remember when Greenlight was a thing? Holy shit, the number of blatant scams on there.

[stiff pasture]

It was an infestation of shit and lazy asset flips

[orchid gale]

Epics games launcher is as bad if not worse.

All crypto games are lazy asset flips

[north violet]

On one hand, I was able to find out about a lot of interesting indie projects through Greenlight, but you're not wrong about much that shit infested the platform.

[celest goblet]

Definitely not impossible, it's just a whole different level of extra work. Depends on their motivation to do so and the cost

[sand fiber]

there aren't as much ea scams nowadays tbh

most games i see in ea are actual developing projects, usually they even complete it :p

[north violet]

I mean....6 million sales and the subsequent money from that is a pretty good motivator I'd say.

[stiff pasture]

Which is why I said hundreds at most, even like three years back that number would shoot up to the thousands easily

[sand fiber]

don't think so

[north violet]

Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you all: I lost 6 pounds and my blood pressure is trending in a healthy direction.

[celest goblet]

Yeah it's just a matter of spending that money on this sort of work vs DLC or whatever their next big game will be

I think if any game would do it, it would be this one though

[north violet]

Well again, remember that they explicitly stated that they're planning on supporting and working on S2 more intensely and for longer than they originally planned.

[harsh nova]

I'm still waiting on the update of my order, but I hope everything's fine. May contact Game Legends later this month regarding the status...

[pallid tundra]

Anyone have their compass gone?

After 115 hours compass is just gone lol even if it was enabled by default

Nvm, the whole UI is gone lol wtf

[coarse sparrow]

hardcore mode

[pallid tundra]

Ya automatic hc mode that cant be disabled

[coarse sparrow]

at this rate we should ask GSC to cook 2026 roadmap, 2025 roadmap kind of losing its relevance

[celest goblet]

Yeah I'm just choosing to interpret that conservatively until we learn more

[latent kite]

How's 2025 lost relevance

It's March

[pallid tundra]

All the quest items that were stuck in inventory and using up weight is gone also....did the last update did something?

[rough condor]

You're quick to lose track of what's talked about. When did I mention the item pool?

[gritty orchid]

usually when the UI disappears for me, I just toggle it off/on again in the settings menu and it goes back to normal

[pallid tundra]

Hud display settings ? I played with all them and nothing

[gritty orchid]

yeah, the main switch that toggles everything off, i just toggle it off and on again

[pallid tundra]

Doesnt work lol

[sand fiber]

yes the systems are bloated too

[celest goblet]

It's call of misery based that's a given

[rough condor]

That's not what we were talking about. How is Anomalys A-Life bloated?

[sand fiber]

what a-life has to do with unnecessary system
my issue with anomaly a-life is that it's dead

[granite mortar]

Can you stop mentioning that dogshit mod outside the mod channel?
At least contain the spread for Groks sake

[celest goblet]

NPCs barely ever do anything in anomaly

[coarse sparrow]

strange that you don't understand the difference between present continuous and past simple

[rough condor]

That is the point I was making. They move around, sit at lairs, fight. That's it. And it's the bare minimum Stalker 2 should have had

[granite mortar]

NPCs barely spawn there
It got like 12 times lower population density than Clear Sky
Which mind you runs on 32 bit engine from 2008

Now lets move to #🔩┃trilogy_modifications

[sand fiber]

i'm pretty sure they do that in s2 lmfao

[latent kite]

This makes very little sense

One would argue that it makes none at all

[rough condor]

More dead than in Stalker 2? And what unnecessary system are you blabbing about, you're not making any sense

[granite mortar]

Omg
Cat :3

[rough condor]

You realise you have a slider for that, right? Lmao at you trying to supress my point by claiming offtop

[sand fiber]

dude you're the one answering a day old message

anyway, you barged into that discussion and expressed two points:

1. anomaly has a good a-life
2. anomaly systems aren't bloated
   both of this aren't true and you're merging them into one for some reason

[rough condor]

No, they don't...

[sand fiber]

they do, i saw them fight and walk around in lesser zone

[granite mortar]

Bump that slider to max value and you get 700 NPCs across 34 maps
Clear Sky had double that across less than half the amount of maps

Now go argue in the mod channel

[sand fiber]

i understand taking issue with like the lack of proper persistent simulation in S2, but you're making the point that Anomaly is better somehow, and i really don't think it is

[gritty orchid]

gamma is better.

[granite mortar]

Better at being dogshit

[sand fiber]

tbh CS did have an overpopulation problem

[granite mortar]

You gotta appeal to the chinese market

[pallid tundra]

Hud only comes back when u start a new game....might be corrupted entire saves

[rough condor]

It's like talking to a wall with you, when did I mention any system except A-Life? It's literally the only thing I'm discussing here

[granite mortar]

Dangggg
GSC copied Goldsphere
Daaaaammmmnnn

[rough condor]

No, not the point I was making. It's true though btw, Stalker 2 is trash. You have serious reading comprehention issues

[granite mortar]

Move to #🔩┃trilogy_modifications already

[vale quartz]

Anomaly soy slopper in chat

[sand fiber]

04.03.2025 20:50 neuropanzer
...the properly realised vision of A-Life is in Anomaly... NPCs occupying and fighting over lairs, travelling between them, maybe stand next to anomaly fields throwing bolts.

04.03.2025 20:55 neuropanzer
Ok, let me rephrase: properly working, enjoyable system stripped of bloat, that's at it's core succesful in providing a sense of life in the Zone. ...

[latent kite]

Let me just chime in and offer my 2 cents...

Anamoly is shit

[rough condor]

I don't care, I don't like the Zone neither empty or overly populated. The more options the better. I don't want to make Okuplok out of Cordon

[celest portal]

Even if S2 was trash, I wouldn't say anomaly/gamma is better

[granite mortar]

Even if S2 was a kickstarter scam it would have been better than those two

[sand fiber]

look s2 simulation and anomaly simulation are both the equivalent of morrowind npcs walking around in random directions, none is particularly better than the other

[vale quartz]

Npcs in anomaly can't even traverse a road with anomalies lmfao. Dogshit ai

[rough condor]

I was not trying to say it. Imo it's true but not my point here

[sand fiber]

the largest stalker mod, op 2.2, weighs like 45, it's 700 hours long with ~300 hours of actual content, how do you bloat x-ray so hard that a freeplay mod without much additions becomes 120gb

[buoyant coyote]

OH IT'S MORE MY BAD, 152

[granite mortar]

Stalker 2 has 64²kM map

rogue trader is the warhammer CRPG by Owlcat, Pathfinder series devs

[sand fiber]

there's Prey 2006, a typical linear 20XX shooter with a native american/alien setting
the company that produced Prey 2006 got acquired by Bethesda, which led to cancellation of Prey 2, the sequel.
sometime in 2010s Arcane, a studio under Bethesda known for immersive sims such as Dishonored, Arx Fatalis and Dark Messiah started development on a System Shock spiritual successor game, Bethesda forced them to use the Prey title for no reason, so now there's a distinction between Prey 2006 and 2017

[celest portal]

Interesting, I loved the dishonored games.

[latent kite]

Know what I miss

Tenchu Z

[sand fiber]

prey is very good, i almost finished it a while ago, but lost the save

[sand fiber]

i find it much more interesting than Dishonored 2, at least narrative-wise

[latent kite]

Bethesda have a thing of shitting on good franchises

[celest portal]

I got Prey for free I think from Prime Gaming, had a lot of fun. Although I first played it through game pass, going through the game blind without knowing anything about it made it a lot of interesting for me.

[latent kite]

Look at the upcoming doom

Bag of shite

[dim topaz]

Wasn't the original prey close to system shock

[sand fiber]

it looks okay, you can't go wrong with making doom

except requirements, i wonder how they managed to fuсk up idtech

[dim topaz]

Or is that just the remake

[latent kite]

The fact they removed glory kills was very questionable

[celest portal]

cringe

[sand fiber]

no, not at all
as i said, 2006 is a typical shooter of the time
the one that's an imsim is the 2017 game
they don't have anything in common except the name

[dim topaz]

Good. I hate being locked into animations

[sand fiber]

well, original doom didn't have 'em :p

[latent kite]

Arguably was the best thing about the reboot though

In fact

The best part about the reboot was the hidden levels

The OG doom Easter eggs

[dim topaz]

"The best thing about the new thing was the old thing" gotchu

[latent kite]

Pretty much

The industry is reliant and hell bent on reboots and remakes instead of forming original ideas

[sand fiber]

it was more the perfectly balanced gameplay loop than any single feature

admittedly, i don't know much about the new doom, but i imagine it would be hard for them to do anything new with the glory kill system they had for 2 games + 2 dlcs, in which they PERFECTED it

[latent kite]

The reveal for the new one looked like they were trying to show some level of innovation but seriously missed the mark

It's the age old "if it's not broken, don't fix it"

[dim topaz]

They new Doom games did a lot really well, eternal got a bit repetitive with the flamer, glory kill, chainsaw loop, but overall the combat was fast and satisfying. Dark ages looks nice. A bit closer to the pace of the originals maybe

[sand fiber]

nope
they could do doom eternal 2 just because zenimax demands a new title, but they didn't, seems like they have new ideas they wanna try

[latent kite]

Eternal 2 would have been equally as shit tbh

[sand fiber]

ultrakill has better gameplay anyway 💅💅

[dim topaz]

I want to punch a demon kaiju woth my mech

[latent kite]

Unfortunately a lot of studios have just run out of ideas similar to that of Hollywood

[dim topaz]

True, but why are you painting your toes

[latent kite]

Half baked remakes and reboots are not it

It's why indie devs are thriving atm

Is what it is. The suits know best

[dim topaz]

Comparing the rare doom sequel to the heaps of industry grade slop produced yearly is not really fair either

[latent kite]

By no means is doom a main indicator

[dim topaz]

The most concerning thing is the forced ray tracing and AI advertisements...

[latent kite]

Remember how hyped everybody was about RT originally lmao

[dim topaz]

Because it was a bonus feature for high end rigs, not a forced feature for everything under the sun to run terribly

[latent kite]

The other problem is that these days games having good graphics is synonymous with a game being good

[sand fiber]

nah, it's da capitalism
investors demand more profits > the most profitable thing ends up being a remake/reboot/rehash/sequel > execs block any original projects
additionally
what ideas there are for sequels don't get through due to a number of reasons, anything new threatens profits
devs are being overworked and don't have union protections, which leads to a disarray in development and total miscoordination
and don't forget the managers, deeply uninterested in life

[dim topaz]

Yes most normies will just buy into anything . They get upset when the zeitgeist compells them, and then omg new shiny just came out, back to meat riding

[sand fiber]

basically the only way forward for AAA gamedev is unions, private ownership for now and worker co-ops for the future

[latent kite]

In a way it's cool that gaming is now enjoyed by the vast majority of people but at the same time we had it better when it was still considered a geeky thing

More accessibility means more criticism and pressure to provide a wow factor that just doesn't wow

[dim topaz]

That's true for a lot of things in general. The more popular something gets the worse its quality starts to become

[sand fiber]

i'm very sorry to be a contrarian but it's always been like this, even back in the early 90s when the best games on the market were like, 3d dungeon crawlers

[dim topaz]

Gaming was still in its infancy back then.

And that's just pc gaming

[sand fiber]

nah it was in its infancy in the 80s, 90s is where it picked up the pace with all the technological advancements
some of the best games to this day are from late 90s

[dim topaz]

"to this day" is incredibly debatable

[orchid gale]

Am I cool yet?

[latent kite]

The 90s bred some of the most iconic franchises, that much is true

[sand fiber]

well yes, stuff like System Shock 1 is still on par with some of the newer imsims, don't even get me started on CRPGs

[orchid gale]

Bro said bred in officially Intrested now

[dim topaz]

Triple A's peak was late 90s to early tocmid 2000s. It's been mostly shit since 2010.
Gaming as a whole though (including indie) was never better

[sand fiber]

btw the worst time in gaming was that awkward period between the death of AA projects and the birth of indie studios, smthing like 08-13

[latent kite]

2008 was a phenomenal year

[sand fiber]

even then you had plenty of things to play

[latent kite]

MGS4, Gears 2, FC2, Fable 2, FO3, GTA 4 to name a few

Great year

[sand fiber]

yes it's also when the economical crisis hit, wiped out all AA development, all foreign development
also RPGs kinda died at the same time

[nimble cipher]

blaize00 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[celest goblet]

late but id recommend pillars of eternity personally

[latent kite]

2009 was a slow one but 2010 introduced some decent rpgs and action/adventures

[dim topaz]

So as I was saying, you can still play any of those games (those that aren't unobtainable un-emulatable abandonware anyway)
And indie gaming has been a thing since the birth of the industry bro...

[sand fiber]

i was thinking about itttttt
really wanna another fantasy RPG after playing Dread Delusion, but kcd1 and prey look so good too......

[latent kite]

I wouldn't say rpgs died that early at all tbh

Round about a decade ago was the downfall

2013-15

The start of anyway

[dim topaz]

So you could say gaming is in a perpetual golden age actually

[latent kite]

In terms of gameplay it's great but in terms of the quality and storytelling, writing etc

We're at a really shit point

[woeful sandal]

pretty much, even 13-14 had some bangers, every year has bangers, maybe we’re in the downfall right now actually

[latent kite]

The whole snowflake/PC/woke uprising is what ruined entertainment

[sand fiber]

1. sis
2. it hasn't, the indie as we know it is a relatively recent thing. the key is in self-publishing and how they secure the bag, even like, russian 5 man studios had to go to publishers and ask for huge amounts of money to sustain development

[sand fiber]

tbh this is kinda true lol

[dim topaz]

Remember how 1 dude made RTC in assembly? Remember how ID distributed Doom? that's an indie game in 90s
Just a few examples
Japanese indie gaming scene has always been huge too

[sand fiber]

bro

[woeful sandal]

I mean compared to how many amazing games we were getting per year, it feels like we get maybe one truly good game every year now

[latent kite]

It's the writing that's the problem for me these days

[sand fiber]

how are you even a helper

[dim topaz]

[latent kite]

Ah another fan

To ask that based on what you quoted begs questions that seem like they'd only be a waste of time to ask

[sand fiber]

i'd have to research more on japanese games tbh, don't really know what's up with them
also yeah kinda, in the 90s it was possible to one-man a profitable game, not so much in the 00s

[orchid gale]

This the most cringeworthy sentence I’ve ever read bro 😭

I can’t even hold you

[sand fiber]

all the best written games were done by people who you'd call woke right now 💅

[dim topaz]

Youtube grift has taken another soul

[latent kite]

Political correctness and the need to adhere and cater to everybody and avoid any form of hurt feelings is in fact what ruined entertainment though

[sand fiber]

i literally started learning JP just so i can play their untranslated esoteric shit

[latent kite]

Comedians who were once critically acclaimed by all people of all walks, genders, races are cancelled. The same with writers, directors, producers etc.

[dim topaz]

Come to Osaka we have good food

[latent kite]

It's a fact

[sand fiber]

i can't believe there are still gamergate warriors in 2025, just be an open nazi or smth 😭

[latent kite]

How does what I said relate to nazism?

You need help

[sand fiber]

bro you'd call george carlin woke 😭😭😭

[orchid gale]

Yeah but the terms

Pc, woke, and snowflake are ruined

[latent kite]

Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit I see

The terms are overused and ruined yes

[orchid gale]

Bring back Dave Chapelle Fr

[latent kite]

!!!

Icons like Richard Pryor wouldn't survive today's audience and it's depressing

[sand fiber]

you were just using them

[latent kite]

You're a strange character

I can't be any clearer than I already have been

[dim topaz]

Woke ruined gaming is just wrong tho
Mass Effect would have been woke by todays standards

[latent kite]

PC and flakes ruined entertainment before woke was even a thing

[orchid gale]

Mass effect was never good

[sand fiber]

literally everything is woke, fallout 2 also :p

[latent kite]

It's when you mention PC and flakes and outcries happen that you distinguish where the snow falls

[dim topaz]

You can argue that sure, but literally nobody said it's because you can be gay lmao

[latent kite]

But you weren't forced to believe being gay was the right choice for no apparent reason

[dim topaz]

Who is forcing you

[latent kite]

Forced narratives and optional choices is where the line is drawn

[latent kite]

My point precisely

[orchid gale]

Bro I wish I could agree with you,

But I simply CANNOT agree with someone who’s using the term snowflake unironically

[sand fiber]

now that's trve......

[dim topaz]

No bruh give a concrete example

[sand fiber]

https://wokedetector.cirnoslab.me/full-list make sure to consult the list before you play any game!

[latent kite]

I'm talking about entertainment as a whole and not gaming. My point being that having an option with little to no bearing on an overall plot and a forced narrative are distinctively different

I wasn't disagreeing with you

[dim topaz]

Ok who is telling this man to be gay, come out now

[orchid gale]

Me fr

[dim topaz]

30 naughty points. Back to the gimp cage with you

[latent kite]

There are plenty of examples where narratives or changes have been forced to check boxes

[sand fiber]

list them

[orchid gale]

Nooo not the gimp cage 😭😭😭😭😭

[latent kite]

That'd be a long list considering im taking films and series into account

[sand fiber]

just games

[latent kite]

I never claimed to be talking about just games

I said entertainment

[sand fiber]

well, games are entertainment, aren't they

[latent kite]

Entertainment is a broad industry

[orchid gale]

I mean right off the top of my head dumbledor was magically in a relationship with hagrid or whatever from Harry Potter

[sand fiber]

so are you listing any examples?

[latent kite]

Petty isn't cute so

Not everybody in life is going to agree with you, but at least do try to read

[sand fiber]

dude are you gonna list examples

[latent kite]

Of all the films and shows that force narratives and changes? No

@orchid gale already handled it

[sand fiber]

no, just any game you consider woke or whatever

[latent kite]

For the fifth time, I've never claimed to be talking about just games

[sand fiber]

okay, are you listing any examples of the thing though?

[latent kite]

You need psychiatric help lmao

Why are you so pressed?

[orchid gale]

Idk if bro doesn’t get it, or if he’s rage-baiting but it’s funny asf 🤣

[latent kite]

Literally has a face as red as an apple

[sand fiber]

*sis

[latent kite]

Ahhh that explains it

Snm

[dim topaz]

You can make the argument that modern writing in entertainment has been on a downturn in general, and yes a lot if modern political ideals are sneaking into otherwise unrelated products (star wars, dragon age, just a few examples) but Id wager it's more so because of trying to chase profits based on a perceived demographic or investor interes, not because everybody wants to make you into woke gay man
At the end of the day it's still people making these things, and people are not very smart

[orchid gale]

Oh damn 😳

The whole time bro hasn’t even been bro

[sand fiber]

brother, i'm just asking you to list some games that PC ruined, you said it's happening eversince 2010, so i was wondering

[latent kite]

It's definitely all to do with chasing the bag

The more boxes that are ticked the more people you're going to potentially sell your product to. It makes sense from that standpoint but for franchises that seem to suffer it's just a depressing view from the outside

[dim topaz]

Rainbow six

[orchid gale]

True

[latent kite]

Where did i say woke or pc ruined games since 2010

[sand fiber]

unfortunately i think that's gamedesign 😔

[latent kite]

I said rpgs have been going downhill since 13-15 and made a separate comment about the entertainment industry

Two separate points

[sand fiber]

well, again, games are part of the industry, so there gotta be some examples, right?

[latent kite]

💀

You need to let it go bro

[orchid gale]

I’m 24 hrs into nicotine withdrawal and I’m going to start eating people if this conversation continues

[woeful sandal]

me first

[dim topaz]

Siege originally was way more realistic in its presentation, while still being diverse. but they became fortnite with a very bold and diverse cast. It's one of the more egregious examples I can think of off the top of my head

[latent kite]

I'm inhaling so much nicotine salts from my vape that I'm about to pass out from nic rush

[orchid gale]

7 years of straight 50mg and I’m quitting cold Turkey.

[dim topaz]

I don't even understand the thought behind it

[latent kite]

I've tried and failed to quit so many times man

I've given up giving up

[orchid gale]

Have you tried nicotine gum yet?

[sand fiber]

main complaints i hear about siege is that its balancing is all over the place, still, gamedesign, not sure if da liberals can ruin that with their woke thoughts or whatever

[latent kite]

Didn't do enough for me

Them lil pouches too

That make your lip stick out

I couldn't get past looking like I'd been punched in the mouth

[orchid gale]

Yeah the zynns or sonics and stuff

[latent kite]

They look too goofy

[dim topaz]

Well no its just one element of why its so asscheeks now

[latent kite]

I tried patches last time and they gave me some inhaler thing with it

Lasted a week and half before bumming a cig off a colleague

[dim topaz]

Off to work, hf guys

[orchid gale]

Yeah that’s what I’m most worried about, I’ve been good for 24 hrs but it has come to my attention recently that it takes upwards of 3 weeks for cravings to go away.

[latent kite]

The craziest thing is I managed to cut so many other substances out but nicotine I just can't

[orchid gale]

Nic is the only thing I’ve gotten addicted too

[latent kite]

I smoked the devil's cabbage for years and years daily but that was a breeze to kick after the first couple weeks

Amongst some pills that I won't go in detail about cos minors are amongst us

But point was that was all easy in comparison

Clean serene for 3 years but can't knock the vapes or ciggies

[orchid gale]

Yeah snow for like 6 months straight easy,

Nicotine hell naw

[latent kite]

The vape is def worse than cigs too

I don't think I ever go 10 mins without hitting it

[orchid gale]

Bro it’s so convenient 😭

Vape literally anywhere plus the strength is like 5x smokes

[latent kite]

The salts hit instantly too lmao, when they started hitting shelves it was a game changer

[orchid gale]

50 salt nic is the crack of vape juice.

I’ve seen people have seizures off it in prince sticks

[latent kite]

The other day I had a moment of realisation that maybe I'm doing too much cos immediately after finishing a cigarette I bummed, I hit the vape

💀

[orchid gale]

I mean to be fair, I’d smoke a cigarette and hit a vape in between drags lmao

[latent kite]

When you're in public and you blow the smoke into your coat or w/e cos its a no smoking premises too

Looking like a junkie

[orchid gale]

I’m going to drink 3 more energy drinks and hope I stop tweaking out

[latent kite]

You know this convo was more sensible than that half an hour dribble about entertainment

😭

[orchid gale]

I have no idea how, I’ve woken up 4 hours ago and I’m genuinely on my 5th redbull, it makes it all ok temporarily

[hardy bear]

Does merchant’s stock change over time? Saw an EBR I wanted to grab after this artifact expedition but it wasn’t there when I returned

[celest portal]

I heard they change supplies like that

[woeful sandal]

yeah they definitely do, I also noticed they restock on ammo if I restart the game or sleep sometimes

[finite dragon]

Yea sleeping restock trader

[finite dragon]

Be careful people die from that kinda stuff

[dire dagger]

Is that a challenge

[woeful sandal]

is coffee considered an energy drink

[lean folio]

I slept all day long. It's now night time. Am I just preparing myself to move across the world or something? 😂

[celest portal]

coffee has natural caffeine so usually it's safe

[woeful sandal]

okay time to drink a whole pot of coffee

[celest portal]

yeah, along with caffeine pills it sent me to the ER, cardiac arrest. Crazy how I'm still functioning as normal after that because most of the time people become brain damaged or die.

[lean folio]

I have a monster energy in my fridge, so I should be careful

[lofty helm]

[finite dragon]

Caffeine isn’t the thing that makes them energy drinks. There is like 10 other things in an energy drink that no one’s ever heard of or know what it is so they market the caffeine in them

[celest portal]

I prefer coffee or tea nowadays, although sometimes I grab a monster but don't drink more than 1 can in a day.

[static compass]

I can't have energy drinks

They make my heart go

[woeful sandal]

I live in Texas so I was born addicted to sweat tea unfortunately

[finite dragon]

Coffee makes me shit. Energy drinks make me feel like imma die and tea makes me relaxed yet focused

[woeful sandal]

I only drink coffee for the flavor

[finite dragon]

Sweat tea nasty I’m talking hot green or black tea

[celest portal]

I'm from texas, although my parents were pretty strict asian parents they didn't let me have a single candy/soda when I was a kid.

[finite dragon]

McDonald’s sweat tea taste like diabetes 🙃

[woeful sandal]

this is probably a good thing, I was raised by myself and I am pretty decombulated these days

[finite dragon]

I was raised by wolves outside of society

[celest portal]

literally any restaurant tea gives me diabetes just by looking at it

[finite dragon]

I have like 8 dif kind of unsweet tea in my pantry rn

[static compass]

Tea is based 🇬🇧

[celest portal]

I have several to, mostly loose leaf.

[woeful sandal]

yeah I used to like it really sweet but I’ve grown to appreciate the actual tea flavor

[finite dragon]

My fav is blackberry jasmine/ or raspberry herbal

Kind of tangy but no sugar or sweetener. Also have a pomegranate green tea

[celest portal]

Might take a bit to get used to, which is understandable. Like people trying to drink black coffee after drinking it with cream and sugar for a long while.

[woeful sandal]

yeah and just got healthier in general since then, I hate any sweet foods now aswell

[finite dragon]

I’ll literally shit myself if I drink coffee with cream xd

[celest portal]

I have to sit on the toilet all day if I drink coffee with cream

[finite dragon]

I’m not even lactose intolerant

[woeful sandal]

when I first started smoking nicotine it would do that aswell

[celest portal]

I'm not either lol, gives me bad stomach ache. Although sometimes I have coffee with sugar only, but I prefer to taste the bean water flavor.
