And the Halo remasters

I do seem to be the only one who enjoyed all of Halo 1-5, but I've always assumed that's mostly because I'm single player only
mossy flume
Oh no, they’re hot and it’s not the hellfire 
slim thorn
(of course, I'm probably also the only one here who played all five campaigns; even for franchises we like we rarely stay interested that long)

Wasn't Diablo 3 kind of held back by a bad engine. And 4 is what if we changed that?
mossy flume
Hey, I played every single Halo campaign
slim thorn
are the Diablo demons not already hot? I just assumed that was the norm for all the fantasy games now
mossy flume
Like at least three times each
untold vigil

are the Diablo demons not already hot? I just assumed that was the norm for all ...
Nah, Diablo is all about the ugly, bloody demons
river veldt
why did i think Diablo demons had large breasts then
mossy flume
Lilith is the first one with sex appeal added to their design
slim thorn
I guess I've seen more Starcraft footage than Diablo footage and assumed Kerrigan was representative 
quiet swift
Did you play through the betas? 
untold vigil
That's my girl you're talking about
river veldt
hold on let me google Kerrigan
slim thorn
I wasn't complaining! 
river veldt
whoa mama
mossy flume
Did you play through the betas? <a:ppinkiepopcorn:608713092452319233>
I played a bit of it, yeah, but ultimately the betas happened at the worst possible time so I didn’t play more than an hour.
quiet swift
Kerrigan pre or post op? 
bleak lintel
You never played the Starcrafts?

mossy flume
…of course there’s a Diablo mod or something

no it's called Minecraft Dungeons

That’s a very different genre isn’t it?

it is a fun game

Yeah halo infinite is sad. What was supposed to be the next big thing for halo looks like it may have put the series on ice for a while
quiet swift
Playstation's winning with the blockbuster type games. Stuff just looks amazing and it's pretty epic stories and games at the moment (Ragnarok and such).
Xbox's strategy of having the gamepass with everything kinda works, but they don't have any truly blockbuster games. Or the stuff that they want to be blockbuster, they've managed to bungle (Halo)
visual hill
Xbox games are also on PC anyway, which isn't the case for most of the latest iterations of Playstation games
GT7 on PC would be fun to see 🙂 It would probably look incredible there too, given how good the game looks like on PS5. VR support could likely be pushed further too
and Rift Apart of course, but I'm asking for too much at this point 👀
it's pretty amazing how well it holds up for a PS5 launch title
dense crypt
If any franchise on Playstation never comes to PC, it's probably gonna be ratchet and clank
It's just too iconic as a Playstation exclusive, but so was God of War...
sage raptor
R&C was part of the Nvidia gigaleak. It didn't specify which game, but one of them is in development for PC right now.

I did see an article recently saying that Ps5 ports will be like 2-3 years rather than 1
Which on one hand, 
On the other, gives it enough time to not be shitshows like the recent two
(one would hope)
untold vigil
The P5R port was flawless
visual hill
I think a 3-year delay is reasonable, but I'm not in a hurry to play new games anyway
untold vigil
visual hill
is running a 24.5 year old game as we speak
remember: A good game is eventually delayed, but a rushed bad is forever game
quiet swift
The P5R port was flawless
P5R is not what I'd would call a "console seller" though, it's not the most demanding of games power wise
visual hill
GT7's VR mode is a seller for PSVR2, it's apparently that good
(and also selling some PS5s too I guess)
though ultimately, VR is still niche
untold vigil
What is defined as a console seller has never made sense to me because whatever it is is usually something I couldn't possibly care less about
gaunt marten
Same. That is why I don't buy consoles
slim thorn
mostly same
the console sellers/killer apps I have played I usually played long after they were supposedly doing that
bleak lintel
It's probably less relevant these days, not so much in the past.
gaunt marten
I'd love to play Bloodborne but I don't love it to the tune of 300 USD
slim thorn
now that most games are cross-platform, yeah
basically all the Nintendo 1st party franchises are console sellers, and... man I have no idea what the other two have lol
bleak lintel
It's kind of hard to show how much FF7 being on PS1 drove people to buy it.
untold vigil
That's the real thing though
We're past the era where there's enough games to sell a console really
I'd need like. . . five plus
static bluff
I have a Switch so I can play zelda
bleak lintel
I remember Mario 64 being so big it was on the news cycle for a bit.
slim thorn
same, the last few times my family bought a console when it was still new, we ended up with <5 games for it and felt like that was maybe not the best call
my Switch has a grand total of 4? games still
might be 5 if I do get TotK after all
bleak lintel
Only console I don't buy games for is Xbox because of Game Pass. I also don't really buy Sony games because they put them on their version of Game Pass too.
slim thorn
these days I mostly just Steam everything
gaunt marten
That's why Microsoft, Google and Sony to go real hard into cloud gaming.
You already steam everything so it's not too big of a leap to add an R.
slim thorn
if it's on PC but not Steam that probably means it's some retro game where emulation makes way more sense than the alternatives
the one time every couple years a non-PC game I care about comes along, I basically have to redo how to consoles 101 all over again
static bluff
My cute switch carrying case came with a space to hold 8 cartridges. The new zelda bumped me up to 10, so I had to figure out where to put the extra game, heh
gaunt marten
Eat them
slim thorn
is that the BotW case?
bleak lintel
Is there enough space to put two in one slot?
gaunt marten
Make them fight and the first one to lose is sacrificed
slim thorn
oh I meant the Switch carrying case I have that came with BotW, not the rigid plastic case for just BotW itself
slim thorn
...google images does not have the case I have, but like ten different designs
untold vigil
I'm still sad there was no FE themed switch I could buy
uneven epoch
oh man where's my three houses themed switches
thatd b so cool
super limited edition ashen wolves or somethin
mind u i cant afford throwin money at collector switches, but itd b so cool nonetheless

yeah, I realized sometime after that screenshot that the map coloring means there's going to be an ability that lets me interact with them more
mossy flume
no wonder this game got bad reviews
I dunno, it reviewed very well from what I see.
untold vigil
fresh bane
probably didn't even reach that area
slim thorn
yeah I'm mostly kidding
the achievement for getting off the tutorial planet is at 85%
fresh bane
I noticed that while playing DMC5 and looking through the remaining achivements I needed to get, a surprising amount of people don't even seem to boot up the game at all or get past the first area
I wonder if people just buy the game and forget or something
random steppe
85% is pretty good, my impressions of the patches making it a lot better weren't just anecodtal it seems
slim thorn
yeah, I dunno how "bad" it was before, but it's absolutely fine now
random steppe
It's still not amazing, but it's okay
slim thorn
RE4 remake had more frames but I'm hardly gonna complain about 60 instead of 140
random steppe
Also seems to be vary depending on the machine, so I assume there is a lottery based on that going on
slim thorn
and this is on a laptop, the kind of person who really wants 100+ frames I assume will have a beefier PC than this
mossy flume
You can pet the first bogling you see in the tunnel
I don’t see how you can’t
The dude ran into an energy shield, gotta pet him immediately
slim thorn
(technically that's not the first bogling I pet, just the first one I got a proper screenshot of)
quiet swift
My workplace makes me play some games and gives us a few goals. Once we complete em, we get "points' that we can spend to get gift cards to stuff. One of the goals of this month's game (Jedi survivor) was petting the bogling 
I was able to convert those points into 100 euro gift cards to a beauty products store in France, which I used when I went there with my fiancée. Which made her very happy as she got about... 170 € worth of stuff for about 40€. (not only did she have my gift cards, but the stores were also doing "spend more than 75€ and you get 33% off)
random steppe
Bogling petting focused capitalism
slim thorn
oh that's Gido
quiet swift
Bogling petting focused capitalism
Fancy stuff too
hushed onyx
I wonder if people just buy the game and forget or something
It’s not entirely unusual, for me anyway, to buy a game fully intending to play it through, but then I have something else going on and by the time I can play again I want to do something else.
slim thorn
mm-hmm, even I get that once in a while
(still haven't finished VA-11 Hall-A or played more than one sitting of Death's Gambit)
mossy flume
I noticed that while playing DMC5 and looking through the remaining achivements ...
I’ve noticed this as well where I’m getting early game achievements and Steam informs me that fewer than 3% of players have gotten it.
Happens weirdly often, I guess tons of people buy a game, run it for 5 minutes and that’s all they do.
Kinda amazing when the “start playing the game” achievement has a ratio of like 70%
30% of players never got past the menu
slim thorn
I also find it weird that the numbers for players not getting past the tutorial area are so consistently greater than 1-3% percent
random steppe
There is also the occasional happenstence of achivments bugged on release, it's often that way when the numbers are staggeringly low
mossy flume
Yeah
I’ve had it happen a few times where a game wasn’t giving me achievements, then some hours or days later when playing it it unlocks all of them all at once.
slim thorn
I must not play enough games on release to get that
random steppe
Yeah, sometimes they fix it in a way that doesn't retroactively flag you for it
And most players just play through a game once
So you do get sometimes wonky numbers of less players having completed the 1st zone than the 2nd
Because when the bug got fixed they were already past it
It doesn't happen often but it happens

what do you have against fullscreen?

some games get weird when I alt+tab between their fullscreen mode and Discord or Chrome
sage raptor
even borderless?
slim thorn
I think that was weird too, lemme check
sage raptor
I don't do exclusive fullscreen either for that reason
thorny loom
Borderless windowed best
sage raptor
agreed
slim thorn
huh, now it's happy with that
or wait
nooo that's right the issue was when I fullscreen this part of the game is cut off on the sides
sage raptor
:(
visual hill
is the game not DPI-aware in 2023?!
you can force it in the executable properties, but wow
slim thorn
it's most noticeable when I pull up the Collectables menu on the map
fullscreen vs windowed:
sage raptor
what resolution is your monitor? Something isn't right
slim thorn
I do suspect the game mis-detected my resolution
Windows menus imply my laptop's actual screen resolution is 2560 x 1600
sage raptor
My guess is that it's still rendering in 16:9
sage raptor
Well, that makes sense. Sorry things can't just work :(
gaunt marten
I play games in windowed mode because I like clear borders
slim thorn
though even when games have zero issues I often waffle between window and fullscreen depending on how much I want to focus on the game vs keep up with chat
quiet swift
Might be a laptop thing, yeah. I have windowed fullscreen and I think mine's been fine. Will have to check later

I used 3 monitors, but I got a new hdr1000 monitor and didn't want to get rid of one of them, so I just made room

that's also my experience, more than two and I just don't end up watching the others
random steppe
I do tremendously miss a 2nd screen the times I'm forced on one tho
gaunt marten
I miss it and I never had one
slim thorn
two monitors is indispensable at work, but when I'm just gaming and chatting I rarely miss it that much
random steppe
For a while I had only 1 and I literally turned an old 5.5in phone into a screen out of desperation

Yes but they’re still pushing out bugfix firmware updates like once a year for some reason

holy shit so much FNAF stuff this year

I definitely hyped it up too much for me lol
but mgs tho...
this says it's volume 1, meaning surely there's going to be more?
mgs4 and PW? 👀

I've only played MGS2, so I might pick up that collection
Or just skip right to the MGS3 remake

mgs3 is the first chronologically
Oh, it's a prequel?

probably why they chose that to remake, as well as the fact that the gameplay is the most modernized that isn't mgs4

nostalgia marketing

(though the group for that is quite small, Marathon isn't that well-known about typical gamers)
random steppe
Pretty hyped to see the Starfield presentation, I stand on my prediction that if Starfield is even only decent, it'll be an amazing boon to the Space Game genre
A speace game with Bethesda level of mod support will likely go really hard unless the game is a complete dumpster fire
As long it's a 7/10 minimum I'll be happy
mossy flume
Honestly I don’t have much faith in Besthesda
But it would be great if it’s a decent space game
random steppe
I see it more as a platform for mods than anything else
white phoenix
Honestly I don’t have much faith in Besthesda
"there are more than 1000 planets you can explore"
yeah me neither
random steppe
I have realisitc expectations, Bethesda does mediorcre stories, pretty good worldbuilding, decent to good gameplay and buggy games.
I don't expect them to realease a super polished experience
graceful bridge
"there are more than 1000 planets you can explore"
yeah me neither
considering how they hyped Skyrim's random quest system, I'm not terribly enchanted with the "1000+ planets" line.

I expect those planets to be on the barren side yeah, it doesn't really matter
visual hill
Pretty hyped to see the Starfield presentation, I stand on my prediction that if...
yeah same, I think it's encouraging, even though I've never played a Bethesda RPG
modders will hopefully find a way to make it truly compelling by the time I get to play it in 2040
random steppe
The ship building part looks so fucking cool
As long as they nail that part, and make it moddable so modders can add bits, it'll probably do really well

This is a game that is part of the universe but is not integral to the first three titles.
So a spinoff.

Imagine you're a Sony fan, you laughed at Nintendo's huge failure with Wii U
And now they get PlayStation U
light gate
I mean, it was a failure.
dire gate
Yeah it was a failure
light gate
This is just an accessory.
white phoenix
so it streams off of the ps5
white phoenix
so what's the point of it being portable anyway if you can't take it outside of your house
dire gate
idk the idea itself is quite baffling for me
light gate
so what's the point of it being portable anyway if you can't take it outside of ...
So you'll be able to do what the Wii U did, uninterrupted game while others can watch TV.
random steppe
This is definitely a much smaller commitment
dire gate
It's probably as close as they can get to Wii U without being one
random steppe
Like, a console launch failure is a major hole in your pockets
white phoenix
yeah at least it's a separate accessory type thing
random steppe
This at most people wont buy it
white phoenix
the wii u was a whole console
dire gate
Oh for sure it's not like Sony will fall apart because of this
But it's funny to see them trying it
random steppe
A good comparison would be the thingy steam released so you could stream games from your PC to your TV
That was kinda of a failure but it was whatever
Compared to the Steam Deck
Which if it fails, it's a much bigger hole
dire gate
I'm not saying that it will be a huge business failure or anything
I'm just talking about reusing the failed concept
random steppe
The Wii U failed not because it was a bad concept
The Wii U failed because none knew what the fuck it was
I legit learned it was actually a console and not an accessory after it failed and I follow gaming news
light gate
IT was kind of a bad concept, it should have been the hybrid console that is the Switch. If you wanted the ability to play while someone else was watching TV, should've been an accessory.
Not the ENTIRE FOCUS.
There are games that require the Wii U gamepad, and not for good reasons.
white phoenix
definitely a case study for how not to market a thing
random steppe
Yeah but Nintendo makes apparently bad concepts work all the time, and I bet if people knew what it was better it wouldn't have matter as much if it was a weird hybrid thing
light gate
Maybe.
dire gate
It's not Wii U for sure; but I am still very curious why the fuck Sony decided that it is a good idea
light gate
But yeah the name was terrible.
random steppe
I mean, it's not necessarily a terrible idea, the market for it might be really small but as long as they know and they did budget it accordingly it might be a minor win for a nichè accessory
light gate
I'm just glad they put it all together with the Switch.
random steppe
It's only a bad idea if they spent a ton in R&D, marketing and manifacturing and don't make it back
Hope they accurately predicted the people interested wont be that many
white phoenix
yeah, it's an extraction shooter
light gate
I've never really played an extraction shooter.
visual hill
me neither, I can't say I find the idea too appealing
I'm a AFPS boomer at heart, seeing so much inventory management in a shooter kind of breaks me
(battle royale is already not great in my book)
