Gaming thread

I disagree, I think the game evolved as intended. Where as in other MMOs you become a spacebar captain (STO), EO forces you to learn, adapt, and to actually think. I love that there is a counter to everything in the game. It truly allows players to dictate the course of the game in ways that no other game has ever been able to. For the most part, CCP stays out of the game and lets the ingame economy, culture, and drama unfold naturally. I mean hell, as of last report, the game employs at least 5 real world economists to oversee the ingame economy.

I don't see it as players trying to wreck the game, I see it as people playing a role they want to play. If there is a large group wanting to harass others, then the game allows for good players to band together and stop the jerks. Granted, it is difficult and rarely done, but can't the same be said for our world today? To me, the game allows us to fulfill whatever role we desire with little consequence, other than rage quitting lol.

At least now, you don't lose skill points when you die, just gear, implants, and ships. The skill loss should have never been implemented, as time is the one commodity we can never get back.

I stopped playing a few years ago when it didn't become fun anymore (the skill point loss is a case in point and holy hell the clone prices!). It may have just been the area we were in but within a week it went from a few hundred people in the local 3 jumps to thousands. Server lags leading to ship losses, griefers, and just overall mass fuckery. Heck you couldn't even mine in peace anymore, I had to go to null sec to get some quiet...lol I'm glad it seems to have settled down but for awhile it just seemed too chaotic (which at times can be fun) with all the new trial people not understanding/not caring how it works. I had spent lots of time (and money on the subs) to get to where Alice was and had it destroyed more than once by an idiot who wanted to see Concord (as declared in local chat).

Speaking of BF

I like the BF games because in campaign mode you can play each level a number of different ways...you don't have to follow a rigid sequence. I just finished COD Infinite Warfare (which I only bought because I wanted the original COD MW upgrade) and got tired of the plot hijacks.

I want to kill Nazis, Jihadists, VC, and other "real" virtual dudes not aliens because...guess what...there are no aliens. And the only reason aliens are offered up as game fodder is because killing them doesn't offend anybody.

Dislike because that's exactly what an alien/lizard person/reptilian/goatman/bigfoot would say.

Then play Doom and Wolfenstein.

Lol, Doom! The trailer for Doom Eternal was too funny. "Remember: Demon is an offensive term, refer to them as mortally challenged."

If anyone ever wants to kill an hour, NOCLIP has an episode that focuses on the Doom franchise. There are also some pretty neat documentaries on some other pretty neat games and their developers.

My god, the hours upon hours I played Doom and Wolfenstein. It’s been so long, but do I remember that the primary controllers were the arrow directional keys on the keyboard and the ‘space bar’ to fire?

Ooh-Rah.... my oh my, how Doom has changed over the years. If you ever get a chance to pick it up, be prepared for a wild ride.

So just started playing SCUM on Steam, it is in Early Access (which means bugs), but overall the game has a lot of potential. Think of DayZ, Arma, and Escape from Tarkov having a baby... that baby is this game.


The level of detail in the character biometrics/biostatistics is insane.


If you like survival games check out the videos on the Steam page and see what it is all about. You have to ingest the correct nutrients, defecate, urinate and throw up if you eat something bad. Well, you don't have to pay attention to the stats, but you increase your lethality in-game when battling other players or zombies. Oh, and be sure to go up and hug the giant mechs protecting the high value loot areas.

Started Destiny 2:Forsaken...pretty damn good so far.

Horizon Zero Dawn is the biggest regret I've made so far in my life next to that time that "girl" wanted to show me a "surprise". I have never played a more rage inducing and bullshit filled story in my life.

Aww, that sucks. Sorry you had a shitty experience with it. What happened? I know the main story is a bit SJW'y.

I finally got around to trying the PUBG training area. That is pimp. You could spend hours on that piece alone. Easily. It is very well done.

 

[SaintKP]

Hype train is about to go off the rails.

My sides.

PUBG and Fortnite are dead and I, for one, welcome our new overlord Blackout.

I picked up COD Black Ops 4 last night. I didn't realize it has a battle royale mode.

otherwise.. I've been playing a squad based game called Kenshi. Pretty unforgiving.

It's fun, if you enjoy the feel of CoD in general and like BR games you'll love it. Best immediate advice I can give is that you need to be careful if you're out in the open. The time to kill is so fast that it's very difficult to recover if someone gets the drop on you. I haven't tried the regular MP mode or zombies yet.

I really enjoyed Kenshi back when I had a computer, Dark Souls may he difficult, but Kenshi is for masochists.
