They ported Half Life to PS2!

light gate
#

I'm talking modern consoles.

#

My PS2 isn't necessarily fun to hook up on a modern tv.

sour hill
#

The PlayStation 2 is the most modern gaming device

light gate
#

yeah yeah

#

joke

sour hill
#

It comes equipped with a DVD player

light gate
sour hill
#

The switch has yet to play DVDs

river veldt
#

that's true

light gate
#

Regardless, I'd still like to see it in modern consoles.

#

With the fixes.

#

And maybe not be forced to use high res models.

sour hill
#

I really like the hi res spas 12 tho

#

But they reskined the smg to an assault rifle for some reason

#

Son, PS2s don't have HDMIs... they use the classic composite cables

#

I'd had to use some weird wizardy box converter to get the signal onto a modern tv.

#

And have to buy another PS2 controller... preferably wireless because all my PS2 controllers broke.

#

and besides, I don't have HL for PS2, nor a modded PS2.

little badger
light gate
#

Even if one exists, I still have to figure out if the disc drive works.

#

I haven't used it in a while.

#

and I use the slim model. (which apparently the disc drive fails often and likes to scratch your discs)

#

ppinkiepain also the ps5 is taking all of the space

#

so thats a rip

little badger
#

You can buy them online. But I remember the days where I’d put a disc in and hope the red screen wouldn’t come up meaning the disc was broken ponee

light gate
#

Buy what online?

little badger
#

The hdmi adapter

light gate
#

I'm not talking about the hdmi.

#

Talking about the disc drive.

little badger
#

I know but was just saying if you ever wanted to use it. Mine was the fat ps2

#

What games you been playing for it?

light gate
#

The PS2?

#

I don't remember.

#

Its been years lol.

little badger
#

Oh I thought you meant recently

light gate
#

No?

#

Literally said that I haven't touched it in years.

#

I was pretty much just wanting to play HL in console form for modern consoles.

#

Like I'd love to play it on a PS5.

#

Big resolution, high frame rate, and among other things.

little badger
#

Trophies as well.

light gate
#

Yeah.

#

But Valve is currently obsessed with the Steam Deck so that ain't happening.

And Deadlock.

bronze abyss
#

curious where deadlock will go cuz so far only reactions to it ive seen were "i sleep"

light gate
#

And I really considered getting a Steam Deck but went for a PS5, feel like I dodged a bullet considering a month later the OLED variant released.

#

And the PS5 I have is the slim variant.

#

So its cool.

little badger
#

Well the PS5 pro will be coming soon

light gate
#

I don't care about pro variants.

#

I just want to game.

#

I am not gonna spend more money for 'native 4k' on a tv that I see from afar.

#

Also probably will cost even more than a Deck.

#

You might as well buy a VR2

little badger
#

Would also depend on the storage as well

light gate
#

1TB is gonna be the standard for a while.

#

I doubt they'll increase it.

#

Still wild that the Xbox Series X was like $350 bucks in December and people still were buying PS5s...

#

christ

#

I don't think I'll ever forget that.

little badger
#

There will be a day when consoles aren’t needed they will be built into a tv. But I hope that doesn’t happen too soon

bronze abyss
#

that sounds like some stuff tghat would be said in the 90s rdlol

slim thorn
#

I've been gaming almost entirely on my laptop for years as it is

light gate
#

needing to replace the entire tv to play a new title

light gate
#

This 1060 laptop I have is rough.

slim thorn
#

fine?

#

I mean yeah you need a decent laptop to make that work

light gate
#

No I mean the heat.

#

How do you deal with the heat?

slim thorn
#

oh

#

hasn't been much of an issue?

light gate
#

Burns my fingers on the metal chassis.

slim thorn
#

yeesh

#

I've never had a laptop get anywhere near that hot

light gate
#

At least it doesn't overheat.

#

Doesn't reach thermal limit.

#

But goddam

slim thorn
#

I guess maybe if I was playing a AAA game and then picked it up to touch the underside, that's hotter since it was lying flat on the table or lapdesk before

light gate
#

Well the laptop sucks air from the top.

slim thorn
#

but I've never found myself avoiding the keyboard because of raw heat

light gate
#

Exhausts from the sides. (back, left, right)

light gate
#

So it can in theory get HOTTER.

slim thorn
#

I'm probably not using the "full potential" of any of my components either

#

if I was after truly cutting edge graphics I wouldn't be on a laptop after all

light gate
#

Same, but goddam a single UE game brings the machine down to its knees.

slim thorn
#

yeah, a 1060 may just not be powerful enough to viably replace consoles

#

it likely also helps that the games I like to play are often graphically undemanding indies, and my reflexes have never been good enough to care about exact framerate

light gate
#

I just want 30 or 60 typically.

visual hill
#

I've grown used to laptop burns on the WASD keys whenever I play on laptop with keyboard/mouse, it's a fact of life that won't go away 😦

#

ironically, MacBooks are probably among the devices that handle this the best

#

otherwise, it's best to play with a controller, use an external keyboard, or put some gloves on the left hand

slim thorn
#

maybe my preference for controller also helps?

visual hill
#

yeah, for sure

#

I played CS2 on vacation last year (when it was on limited test) and dealing with burns was a problem, despite using low settings and capping the game to 120 FPS

slim thorn
#

semi-related: there's a lot of games that say "controller recommended" at the start yet have no analog inputs, so I have no idea why they recommend it?

#

I can only think of one game I've played that told me "k&m recommended" at the start (and I played it with controller anyway rdwut)

visual hill
#

maybe it's because keyboard controls will be awkward, or it's an admission from the developer's end that they don't know how to provide good keyboard defaults

#

in fighting games, you are kind of expected to devise your own control schemes, there are a lot of possible variations

#

my WASD-based scheme for Smash is really scuffed but it works for me

quiet swift
green fulcrum
#

Yeah, a lot of these are objectively not CRPGs.

#

RPGs, to be sure. But not CRPGs.

quiet swift
#

A pretty good list, nonetheless ppenk

#

Have you played Alpha Protocol, by the way? Definitely not a crpg but it's a very interesting one

green fulcrum
#

Pokemon is a JRPG, Fallout New Vegas is an ARPG, PoE isn't even technically an RPG (I was mistaken, it's an ARPG), etc.

#

Never even heard of Alpha Protocol

gaunt marten
#

CRPG does stand for computer RPG, but not every RPG on your computer is a computer RPG

green fulcrum
#

Ah, it's an ARPG. I'm not a fan of the gameplay for ARPGs, though I acknowledge that a lot of them are outstanding games.

dire gate
green fulcrum
#

I'm still gonna check out some of the games on this list

dire gate
#

never heard of it b4 ngl

green fulcrum
#

Just looked at the trailer, and it isn't a CRPG.

Like Flitter said, all CRPGs are RPGs, but not all RPGs are CRPGs.

dire gate
#

I'm unsure if I'd call Xenoverse? thing a JRPG

green fulcrum
#

Almost 15! flutterwaaaugh flutterwaaaugh flutterwaaaugh

dire gate
#

Simple reason, I doubt it is from Japan

green fulcrum
#

Also, the IP is from Japan, and the gameplay is JRPG-based.

#

Thus, JRPG.

#

You can be a JRPG game and not be Japanese.

#

I can name several games like that.

dire gate
#

That's why I personally prefer to avoid the term JRPG, it can be either stupidly vague or too arbitrarily specific

green fulcrum
#

Chained Echoes is another big one that's a JRPG but isn't from Japan.

dire gate
#

And whenever I get to use the term, I prefer to stick with JRPG (thus specifying it to only Japanese games)

gaunt marten
#

I think calling them JRPGs is not ideal but I don't have a word in mind that describes the specific style

green fulcrum
#

Honestly it was a style that was basically created and perfected by Final Fantasy, but you can't just call it "fantasy RPG".

dire gate
#

And the big problem here is that Pokemon is usually not called "JRPG", the only way to call it JRPG is using the "it's RPG and it's from Japan" logic

green fulcrum
#

No, not the genre, but it did create the default JRPG style that games still use to this day. Before it was rather haphazard, or people had the first-person dungeon crawler style.

dire gate
#

FF1 is highly inspired by DQ1.

dense crypt
#

i thought it was D&D

green fulcrum
#

Oh, I thought FF came first. Never mind then.

#

DQ created it, FF perfected it.

dire gate
#

You can go back up to Wizardry or Ultima from DQ but then it won't be "jrpg" anymore

gaunt marten
green fulcrum
#

Hmmm...genuinely stumped on what other name could be better than JRPG.

dire gate
#

I do agree on to that there is this vague style of dq and ff shared through multiple games

#

But I think Yoshida from FF series also kind of pointed out, calling it "JRPG" is a bit...weird

gaunt marten
#

It's either that or avoid calling it anything

green fulcrum
#

I also agree that "JRPG" is vague and needs a better term, but the fact is that no better term exists at the moment.

dire gate
#

Upon such agreement, I still believe it's not a great idea to call pokemon a jrpg

gaunt marten
#

Explore the world, find Crystals, and fulfill the prophecy to bring balance to the land of Sequoia....Or maybe you'd rather spend your time collecting neat equipment and artifacts? Or tame strange creatures and fill out all the entries in your archive? Or perhaps you'd rather hunt down every monster and conquer the world's toughest bosses. Or ma...

I would also argue that "CRPG" falls under the same category of vagueness, especially since there's so many out there and there's many different styles (isometric, third person, first person, top-down, turn-based, real-time-with-pause, etc.)

green fulcrum
gaunt marten
#

It recently got a new feature

#

When you turn it on, it auto jumps at the last possible moment, making it possible to do tricky jumps with old man reflexes

green fulcrum
#

To me, when I think of CRPGs, I think of the Baldur's Gate trilogy, Icewind Dale, Fallout 1 & 2, Divinity Original Sin 1 & 2, the Wasteland series, Planescape Torment, Pillars of Eternity, the Pathfinder games, etc.

It is interesting how the root of JRPG comes from CRPG

#

Crystal Project is in the fourth tier and it's not even a little jank

green fulcrum
#

It's absolutely wild that they put the Pathfinder games in the fifth tier. Sure, they've got a bit of jank, but not that much. I'd put both of them in the third tier, honestly.

#

Also, Baldur's Gate 3 still has lots of jank despite it being a lot more stable now than at release, and it's at the very top of the first tier, so the actual "jank tier" part of this list is somewhat dumb.

(Skyrim is also at the top of the list and that game is notoriously janky as hell, lol.)

#

Good game. It feels like the developer made his dream game

#

The only thing it needed was a manager to tell him to scale it down because it's a bit too big

#

It's clear at the end that he ran out of time or funds and had to make it more linear

static bluff
#

This is that dome keeper game, yeah? I think I'll have to get this one a go. "It feels like the developer made his dream game" is probably the greatest praise it could receive.

gaunt marten
#

No this is Axiom Verge 2

slim thorn
#

I thought that was Axiom Verge 2?

gaunt marten
#

Dome Keeper is more well polished and made by a team

#

Axiom Verge 1 is a tight, well designed Metroid game. Axiom Verge 2 doesn't try to be that. It's a continuation of 1 but also has a nicely distinct identity

#

Ultimately I would not recommend 2 to someone who has not played 1 even though the story is not directly related.

True that. Last night I played a couple games when I was too tired and made very silly blunders that cost me. I was close to a new all time high elo, but the pressure of it got to me. It's wild how much successes in chess comes down to stuff like that. They say a good night's sleep is worth 2 pawns.

yeah, a lot of people are complaining about performance and frame pacing issues (especially during cutscenes, which don't target a steady 30 FPS but constantly hover between 29 and 30 FPS)

#

even RTX 4090s can barely hit 4K60

#

I assume it will be squared out post-launch somewhat (by patchers but also modders), so don't buy day-1 if you have high expectations here

#

note that Jedi Survivor is still not squared out to this day though, so caveat emptor. 🙂

Calinou: Oh, I tried it on my steam deck. Didn't have super high expectations but this is a bit slower than I expected. The Wukong benchmark ran better, for example

If I had to guess, it's this one in Kyoto

rancid herald

apparently there's the Tō-ji tower. There was another one, called Sai-ji to the west of it that burned down in 990 and in 1233, and never rebuilt

quiet swift
#

There's several of them in Tokyo I think. Planets is the famous one but might be out of the way, there's a second one too

rancid herald
#

The other likely basis for the Bell Tower is a temple in Kyoto called Tō-ji (East Temple). The temple's pagoda is the tallest in Japan, and it once had a twin temple in the west of Kyoto, called Sai-ji. Just like in the legend of the Burned Tower in Ecruteak's west and the Bell Tower in its east, the western temple of Sai-ji was burned long ago, while To-ji still stands today. ```

Insane opinion spotted:

#

About Axiom Verge 2: "You know I wish... I know he's sorta gone for the uh, sort of graphic style he used in the first game, but I wish he'd be... I wish the graphics should be nicer. I mean, it's a great game and I do play games like this, but I always prefer when the graphics is sorta more 3Dish... think a bit like Bloodstained."

I've never seen anyone say they liked the faux 3D style Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has

I'm fine with pixel art, but you'd better use every single pixel or I'll be disappointed rdsnrk

Rusted Moss I thought did a pretty great job with it

random steppe
#

My annoyance is when I can't make out the details of something because the model is low enough on pixel counts that there is a lot of abstraction

gaunt marten
#

Yeah, and to be fair to the person who said that, he said it while playing in the Breach part of Axiom Verge 2

#

Which looks terrible

The music in the breach is awful, the pixellated look is bad, and the special effects are annoying

Easily the worst part of the game

dire gate
#

There were a few trailers here and there in some events

icy crescent
#

I think it was also most anticipated game in GOTY award 2023

river veldt
#

Bowser was initially based off a Journey to the West character i think

dire gate
#

His design was inspired from it yes

river veldt
#

ha i was right

dire gate
#

Although it's really hard to see the resemblance at this point

river veldt
#

i can kind of see it

#

the horns, eyes, and general body shape are definitely there in his original sprite

quiet swift
#

Scrolling up a tad, some of you are really living under rocks. maud I'm pretty sure it featured at game awards in trailers at least once or twice and other places like gamescom - just not playable by the masses until now. It's not been giga advertised like say, COD and such, but it hasn't just appeared out of nowhere. Like I said, it's been top of wishlists for a while now, for good reason

And yeah, there's something about how media and streamers cannot talk about certain topics when reviewing/playing the game - a very CCP move that you see within China itself. Very likely completely unenforceable abroad though.

#

(mind you if you're not into soulslike type games, I can understand not knowing about it, but still!)

icy crescent
#

What a chad

bold sonnet
#

I can't wait for game awards I always have goosebumps when the Orchestra is playing

gaunt marten
#

They should have called him something other than Wukong

icy crescent
quiet swift
#

I had not!

icy crescent
#

Im gonna dm you about it, i dont want to get troubled here

white phoenix
#

although it is definitely more popular in china, the trailer on bilibili has like 50 million views

#

journey to the west and sun wukong remains one of the most popular stories and characters in china

bold sonnet
#

I don't play souls and I've heard of this game

white phoenix
#

I was so excited personally that sun wukong was getting the aaa treatment, i always thought he deserved more recognition in the west considering journey to the west is like the first influence of many anime tropes

icy crescent
random steppe
#

Since it became a rather popular genre, there are a handful big titles that come out every year so it's easy to tune them out as white noise if you aren't interested in the first place

#

I kinda follow it and in my head and this and Wo Long: Fallen Dinasty had definitely blend into one for a while

What game would everyone like to see announced tonight at opening night live?

ofc I was also unaware there was a third Little Nightmares game until today

little badger
#

I’m guessing you missed the announcement at summer games fest?

slim thorn
#

I just don’t watch these festivals any more

little badger
#

It’s not the same without E3

#

I grew up with it

slim thorn
#

same, but E3 wasn’t worth watching long before it officially stopped

little badger
#

When did you stop watching?

bitter stream
#

is Opening night live starting soon? or have I missed it

#

I only just woke up

little badger
bitter stream
#

oh awesome, thank you

little badger
#

But if you watch on twitch you get a warframe reward

bronze abyss
#

dying light the beast is actually fucking insane holy shit

#

i NEED the release date so bad

I think Infinity Niki is that game yeah Genryu

#

I guess predescessor is an Over.. oh MOBA shooter

#

PATH OF EXILE 2

#

LETS GOOOO

#

boss design on point

random steppe
#

It looks so good

bitter stream
#

Nov 15th Early Access!

#

yeah it really does, I've been watching all the content t hat they released for it over time

#

it's so different to PoE 1

#

but good different

random steppe
#

I'm mostly more excited to get in at the ground floor where the skycraper of systems over systems isn't built yet

little badger
#

Dune time

random steppe
#

Which is the biggest barrier for POE

#

Dude needs a stillsuit real bad

bitter stream
#

That's fair genryu, this is probably the best time to start into PoE 2 for newer players. I imagine though that long time players might want those systems.

little badger
#

2025

bitter stream
#

Monster Hunter Wilds!

green fulcrum
#

Wait, wtf? The Game Awards?

#

I thought we just had those?

bitter stream
#

nah, it's Opening Night Live

#

it's just hosted on the game awards channel as well as their own

green fulcrum
#

Oooooh

bitter stream
#

For Gamescom

green fulcrum
#

Any highlights so far?

bold sonnet
#

Are you guys watching??

bitter stream
#

Hmm, PoE 2 looked gorgeous, but there's much to go

#

yup yup vashka

green fulcrum
#

Did I miss a lot, or did it just start?

#

I...kinda slept through half the day

bitter stream
#

started about 50 minutes ago, that's ok

bold sonnet
#

Obhhh I wish I could join but I'm BUSY GlimScream

bitter stream
#

there'll be coverage showign off different trailers /listing them

random steppe
#

That's a unique collab

bitter stream
#

you can catch up later, no worries

#

Oooh Mecha Overwatch?

#

oh damn, this looks like AC style mecha combat

random steppe
#

It's definitely a lot more arcade

little badger
random steppe
#

Not super interested in PVP games so I'm gonna pass on Mecha Break but it looks cool

green fulcrum
#

Man, zero cheers for Monument Valley. ppenk

#

Not even a polite clap

bitter stream
#

I think they cut the audience mics for trailers, but not sure

little badger
green fulcrum
#

Nothing in particular. I don't know if they're announcing new stuff or if it's just new trailers for stuff we already know about.

little badger
#

New stuff as well

green fulcrum
#

If they're announcing new stuff, then as always, Spyro. If it's just old stuff with new trailers, then Sonic X Shadow Generations.

little badger
#

Speaking of sonic did you see the collectors edition?

green fulcrum
#

Yeah, not too interested in it. I buy games for the games.

little badger
#

Starfield vehicles.

slim thorn
#

wait, was there a Moument Valley announcement?

bitter stream
#

yup

#

Monument Valley III

slim thorn
#

niiiiice

green fulcrum
#

Absolutely nobody even politely clapped for it, lol

#

Which is a shame because it looked nice and calming

bitter stream
#

ah yes, Marvel Rivals.. where magneto, is Reinheart from Overwatch

little badger
#

It’s netease so the game will be heavy P2W

green fulcrum
#

Wow, Doom is everywhere these days

bitter stream
#

surely they wouldn't go P2W right? for an overwatch clone?

little badger
bitter stream
#

aye aye

#

same as tencent's mobile and some newer PC titles

#

like Arena Breakout Infinite, that's super pay 2 win

little badger
#

Some countries don’t allow the store at all in some mobile games unless it’s cosmetic only

random steppe
#

Marvel Rivals does look like the best Overwatch alternative of all the ones that came out so far to me

#

I'm just not interested in playing more Overwatch, but if you put a gun to my head and forced me to pick one, I'd play that one

bitter stream
#

haha fair

#

Tencent Won?

#

what

random steppe
#

Could be, I have zero familiarity with how sustainable tencent stuff is

#

Enviiormentally speaking

bitter stream
#

yeah, and it didn't seem like a publicity thing,

river veldt
bitter stream
#

Doom from MARVEL

river veldt
#

OH lol

little badger
green fulcrum
#

Sorry, lol

#

Should've clarified

river veldt
#

i was about to say of course when i take a break to take a shower i miss something i'm interested in rdsnrk

bitter stream
#

BLUR is making a series?

#

oh shit

random steppe
#

This dude is nice

#

I am not sure what he is selling but he is pretty nice

bitter stream
#

A tv series

little badger
light gate
#

dont you get it? nobody has phones

#

snrk

#

dumb jokes aside, anything new?

bitter stream
#

Oh it's an anthology series!, with gaming IP.

little badger
#

This looks good

bitter stream
#

There's Dying LIght game, a few remasters, PoE 2, monster hunter wilds etc

#

Civ 7

random steppe
#

Yeah this sounds fun, also probably a way for publishers to test the waters for an animated project without committing to a full series.

little badger
#

Maybe borderlands should’ve done that instead of the movie rdsnrk

bitter stream
#

haha, I'm somewhat glad that flopped. It looked awful

light gate
#

(tunes into stream) oh

bitter stream
#

That stupid AI generated nonsense

#

ooh

#

Delta Force Hawk Ops

little badger
#

Delta force.

bitter stream
#

I really really really hope it isn't P2W on release

light gate
#

Battlefield 3?

bitter stream
#

it's Chinese Cod+Battlefield

#

but really well made

#

f2p, but don't know how bad MTX will be

green fulcrum
#

So far this stream is quite...meh.

little badger
#

It has a campaign as well

light gate
#

Imagine if Valve just casually walks and drops the number 3.

bitter stream
#

that'd be something aye, but idk if they could live up to the hype behind that number lol

light gate
#

I woulda loved if HL3 got announced in E3.

#

The reactions would have been earth shaking.

#

Oh yeah, ZZZ

#

I forgot I was playing that.

bitter stream
#

was it any good?

light gate
#

It was fun.

#

Story is interesting.

#

But I stopped because VotV.

#

(Voices of the Void)

bitter stream
#

fair enough

green fulcrum
light gate
#

bad?

#

more like life drainingly good

green fulcrum
#

Ah

bitter stream
#

FSN X Honkai Star Rail?

#

oh damn

#

wtf

#

I guess it makes sense

#

both are gacha series

little badger
#

Batman now

light gate
#

'arkham verse'

#

what

green fulcrum
#

New Arkham game, I wonder how I've never heard of...oh, that's why, it's VR. ppenk

random steppe
#

VR Batman

#

Yeah

light gate
#

IS this Source Engine 2???

random steppe
#

This does sound like the fastest way to go right to the ground vomiting

light gate
#

Why does it look like Source 2?

random steppe
#

So if that's the objective, that's good

bitter stream
#

no idea if it's Source or not

light gate
#

The lighting maybe makes it feel like it.

bitter stream
#

gamescom Asia and LATAM huh

#

neat

green fulcrum
#

Little Nightmares 3

#

Two completely new characters

light gate
#

Zelda Twilight Princess: Herd Mode

little badger
green fulcrum
#

Then they would catch my interest

light gate
#

"You guys liked that one?" (barely anyone clapping)

#

oh no

#

The man to rival Sean Murray

bitter stream
#

lol

random steppe
#

"He's back"
Dead silence before someone decided to shout out of pity

light gate
#

After the failure and money grab of Godus, gotta make another money grab.

#

lol for real

#

I mean I hope he makes a good game for sure but...

#

Masters of Albion... aight what is it

random steppe
#

Please, let this be a 5v5 hero shooter

#

it would be so funny

green fulcrum
#

...Was that a stock chicken sound? ppenk

river veldt
#

what if Jonathan Blow came out and got upset about Soulja Boy again

light gate
random steppe
#

Ok not the funniest outcome

light gate
#

w. food maker

#

what

#

WHAT

little badger
random steppe
#

Ok this is kind of amusing

green fulcrum
#

This looks so...dead inside.

light gate
#

it is self funded

#

whoa

young creek
#

is there a game show

river veldt
#

yeah

young creek
#

are they gonna show hollow knight and the silk

random steppe
#

This dude is large

light gate
#

okay that is cool

little badger
green fulcrum
#

They confirmed that SIlksong wasn't gonna be at Gamescom

light gate
#

sword baguette

little badger
#

Jinx

#

Squid game

green fulcrum
#

Masters of Albion looks so bland.

random steppe
#

I mean to be fair, none else made a black and white-ish game in the meantime so there is a market

young creek
#

why even host it..

light gate
#

It looks better.... but-oh god what the hell is this

#

NO

#

WHY A GAME

random steppe
#

The problem is that you can't belive anything out of the man's mouth so the assumption is that the game is not gonna be anything like the trailer

river veldt
#

who was the man

light gate
#

it was the man

river veldt
#

Peter Molineaux ?

light gate
#

yes

random steppe
#

The Squid Game- game is literally just for 15 years olds and under that for some reason, latched to the franchise without understanding anything about it

river veldt
#

at least he seems well intentioned from what i've seen of him before

little badger
#

Won’t be long until we get the game awards in December.

light gate
#

Exactly Genryu

#

The show is brutal and yet they make a game about it.

little badger
#

Arena breakout

random steppe
#

I didn't even look at the trailer, I knew it would have been that, no need, it's not for me

light gate
#

It would have been more interesting if you were a participant that actually had to do dire decisions which you could regret later on.

#

Like actual serious.

#

That'd be more interesting

bitter stream
#

mmm, and this game is super pay 2 win

#

ABI has currency for preimium currency

#

so you can buy all your loot if you want

#

and be super geared

light gate
#

president of blizzard wtf

random steppe
#

Meh, I think the most compelling version of that story was already told in the show, it doesn't make much sense to play a game about it to have a worse time.

green fulcrum
#

Oh, speaking of Blizzard, apparently 500 Blizzard employees have unionized.

light gate
#

That is true

little badger
#

I played the beta and it didn’t

bitter stream
#

ah ok

light gate
#

Oh god, she looks stressed.

little badger
#

Did you get the warframe reward Reina

bitter stream
#

aye, I did

little badger
random steppe
#

War Within looks good, good luck to them

bitter stream
#

yeah, people will enjoy it hopefully

random steppe
#

I just don't have time for more MMOs in my life so I wont play it, but it's the best WoW looked in many years IMO

little badger
#

Any games you are looking forward to Gen?

light gate
#

'WarCraft Direct'

#

what

#

wowie a skin

#

Is Diablo IV good?

random steppe
#

Not sure

light gate
#

Looks interesting.

random steppe
#

Depends on the season

bitter stream
#

I've heard the latest season of D4 is decent, people l ike the changes to the loot system

random steppe
#

From reason to season the community alternates from being enthusiastic about it, to despising its very existence

#

Worth mentioning that noew they are starting to release the expansions, and they plan to do one a year, which is....a bold strategy

little badger
random steppe
#

I finished the story, and I'm slowly doing some secondary content, but not as much as I wished because I had some stuff came up which makes it hard for me to commit to an online game for long stretches of time

little badger
#

Ah right.

light gate
#

gamers

bitter stream
#

I wonder why there's been no Warframe trailer yet, they mentioned having something at Gamescom right?

random steppe
#

Yeah they should introduce an update

#

Also they are releasing sevagoth prime tomorrow

#

So I assume they'll showcase that too

bitter stream
#

oh true, Sevagoth prime looks wild

#

very neat design

little badger
bitter stream
#

could be. see how we go

light gate
#

Forza is rumored to arrive on PS5

bitter stream
#

oooh good for the Playstation fans

little badger
bitter stream
#

Forza is fun

light gate
#

Yep

little badger
#

oh no

#

Oh thats gonna piss off a lot of Xbox users.

It looks nice but if its like p2w then heck nah.

It's hard to tell for me

It has the right vibe, the challenge will be to make sure it's not boring

I'll definitely turn on game pass to try it

light gate
#

The bell noise.

wait, final game announcement? I guess no Warframe today

That caught me off guard.

#

Good thing they announced it now.

Mafia 😮

Mafia!

#

That’s it everyone.

light gate

pack it up

little badger
#

What we rating the show

light gate
#

C

bitter stream
#

yeah, seemed fine

light gate
#

The bell of the PS5 announcement for Indiana Jones was hilarious oh my god.

little badger
#

cue the angry Xbox fans

green fulcrum
#

From what I saw of it, I'd rate it a solid D, for "absolutely dull".

little badger
#

Hopefully the game awards is better

random steppe
#

This seems to be a relatively slow year regardless

#

After 2023 it's not a big surprise

light gate
#

what did 2023 had?

green fulcrum
#

Yeah, 2023 had ALL the big hitters

river veldt
green fulcrum
#

Baldur's Gate 3, Starfield, Alan Wake 2, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, etc.

random steppe
#

A zelda, Alan Wake 2, BG3, Super Mario Bros Wonders, an Insominiac Spider Man title

#

So many big devs are essentially on cooldown

river veldt
#

good lord i forgot Spider-Man 2 was last year

random steppe
#

Oh right, not to forget, RE4 remake, Dead Space remake, Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty

light gate
#

I only think I've played SM2 and DSR

little badger
#

Xbox fans aren’t happy about Indiana jones being on PS5

light gate
#

I need to finish both still.

#

water is wet

random steppe
#

Armored Core 6, just to mention from in the mix, even tho they did drop the big game this year (ER expansion)

little badger
#

What games you been playing deviant?

light gate
#

I began playing Star Wars Fallen Order, haven't finished it yet, began to play Signalis, haven't finished yet, began to play Wipeout Omega Collection, began to play Fortnite, began to play... uhh god...

I haven't finished a single game.

random steppe
#

It's telling that Spider Man 2 didn't get any game awards...
If they dropped that game any other year it would have at least gotten a few, if not swept.

light gate
#

well one of the games can't be finished

#

but you get the idea

#

I just haven't been consistent with any game, I keep getting distracted lmao.

#

Also Star Wars Fallen Order is really hard, Signalis is also a bit hard, Wipeout is hard too.

little badger
light gate
#

I'd say its more of the fact that games require a lot of time to progress.

#

If you don't have that time, you are gonna take years.

#

Meanwhile Voices of the Void has me super glued for whatever reason, although its starting to come off.

#

(I want to play Lethal Company but everyone I know is busy)

#

Overall, I think I need simpler games now.

bronze abyss
#

LC is very fun solo too,even scarier

light gate
#

Yeah but you will die.

#

Like... you will lose progress.

Just tuned in at the end like "See you next year" rdlol

It's generally been ported to console much later, with PC launching first. Civ 7 is doing both

No I meant Mac

#

But apparently they're doing all three

#

Whoa. Change civs during your game. Sounds like some of the other civlikes

light gate

this looks so much better than CIV 6

#

It's a big graphical upgrade, i'm curious about the weather system

They always have pretty good tutorials to get introduced

#

Later mechanics do require a bit more learning though true

Leaders selected independantly from civs ooh

I certainly hope that february is enough time for the finishing touches. Don't want another release like the past few (skylines 2)

Seems like the civ stream is looping

#

Ehh, I don't think anyone would care.

#

Starfield was basically a dissapointment.

#

Because it was not BG3 and everyone expected something radical.

little badger
#

It did have a terrible launch but it’s slowly getting there

light gate
#

But the damage is done.

little badger
#

It will take a few years to get to where it was meant to be

First impressions is what is essentially focused.

little badger
#

Yeah

#

Well, unless you are Tango gameworks.

Had a blast but hated using Cloud Gaming.

The vehicle update comes out tonight

#

I nearly got an Xbox because of it, but went for the PS5 after seeing so many others get a PS5 and more selection.

#

Literally.

#

I’m surprised no one has modded in a co-op mode yet

#

But Bethesda will probably do it themselves. Eventually

light gate
#

modding co-op on a single player game is not easy.

#

AT ALL

#

Netcode is an entire different beast.

little badger
#

And you would need servers as well

light gate
#

Not really

#

You would make one of the players be the server.

#

P2P

little badger
#

Oh right

light gate
#

You only need a server if you need more than two players. (Some games have done it without but mileage may vary)

little badger
#

Yeah then they would need to be dedicated servers I think.

#

It would be nice to play it in co-op

Man the new Garou looks so much better than KOF 15, I remember kinda wanting to get into KOF 15 when it came out but the visuals looked pretty rough to me and kind of put me off, but Garou looks excellent

#

im struggling, which Lord of the Rings game has the nemesis system ? was it Mordor or War

slim thorn
#

pretty sure it's both

#

Shadow of War was a direct sequel to Shadow of Mordor after all

visual hill
#

Shadow of Mordor then Shadow of War

#

the latter is most notable for its nemesis system, which is even patented… so you won't see it in other games anytime soon

bold sonnet
visual hill
#

still very early stage, but people have gotten in-game with ShadPS4, and you can uncap the framerate 🙂

been wanting to play it for years

I've always liked color customization

fresh bane
#

It's so crazy to me how people are just fine with the fact that SF6 doesn't just give you colors, you have to purchase them
With obtainable currency in game, sure, but also with real money, just give me the colors man! It's such a step back from how it was, I'm so happy to see this game is letting you edit colors so in depth
