| Topic | Did we ever find out why Dr Disrespect got banned from Twitch? |
| Darmik 07/15/20 11:29:50 PM #8 | No. It's gotta be some sort of breach of contract at this point. --- Kind Regards, Darmik |
| Topic | I wonder how much SSD's will be a game changer for video games |
| Darmik 07/15/20 11:28:52 PM #4 | Smashingpmkns posted... Think that is the entire point of that Ratchet and Clank game lol Heh yeah that's a fine example of 'launch game that's also a tech demo' Dimension hopping is an obvious example of it but I think it's going to be one of those things where the biggest benefits are stuff we don't even really notice until we go back to older games. Like how games of this last gen or so tried to start hiding loading screens with crawling sections and elevators. Even in linear games the concept of a level might not feel so defined if we just suddenly cut to a completely new location within a couple of seconds. --- Kind Regards, Darmik |
| Topic | I wonder how much SSD's will be a game changer for video games |
| Darmik 07/15/20 11:21:23 PM #1 | One little benefit I realized was that games can rapidly jump between different scenes rapidly like a movie. Maybe even jumping between different battles. Evil Within 2 sort of does this but the scale of this sort of stuff should improve. --- Kind Regards, Darmik |
| Topic | Turned on my PS4 with a controller, now none of my controllers are connecting. |
| Darmik 07/15/20 9:59:23 PM #6 | I have a weird problem where one Playstation Move controller just doesn't turn on or charge anymore. The PS4 has a few weird things with it. Sometimes plugging in a controller syncs it and sometimes it doesn't. Losing power in rest mode causes the console to freak out. Hopefully you'll get it to work. Sometimes it just suddenly works again in my experience. --- Kind Regards, Darmik |

| Topic | RESETERA has more users than GameFAQs? what? |
| Darmik 07/15/20 8:36:31 PM #18 | I mean for one that site is only a message board. One where insiders and industry people post. These boards don't really have anything like that. Most active game boards are just fanboys and trolls. --- Kind Regards, Darmik |

| Darmik 07/15/20 8:22:48 PM #7 | Joeydollaz posted... Joel's Brother WILL GET DLC They've said no DLC plans for the game. Then again that wouldn't rule out a Lost Legacy style mini sequel. Tommy will die at the beginning of the third game to continue the trend of each game starting off with the brutal death of a Miller. --- Kind Regards, Darmik |
| Topic | I think you needed to **SPOILERS** **SPOILERS** in Last of Us 2... |
| Darmik 07/15/20 8:18:25 PM #5 | If she just shot him in the head and walked off Ellie wouldn't have been that traumatized so who knows if her warpath would have even been the same. I don't remember when Tommy figured out they were WLF either. So it's possible there wouldn't have been a game if she did that. But yes they wanted you to absolutely hate Abby for the first half. I don't think the game made much of an effort to make you feel bad for killing dogs. The whole thing is about tribalism and seeing things from a different perspective. --- Kind Regards, Darmik |
| Topic | Why are people excited for another Fable? |
| Darmik 07/15/20 7:39:01 PM #12 | It's going to be made by Playground Games who make what is in my opinion the best racing games. Definitely the best open world racing games. They're also British so they should still have that charm about them. Relient_K posted... I liked all 3 fables. Didn't know another had been announced. It was mainly the first game really. Have a gander. https://www.ign.com/articles/2002/03/25/in-depth-with-project-ego --- Kind Regards, Darmik |

If I google 'Epstein Flight Log' the first result brings me to this. https://i.redd.it/wc5inek520a41.jpg This list would have some real names on it but a lot of it is fake and filled with spelling errors. This is what people are harassing Chrissy Teigan over from what I can tell. --- Kind Regards, Darmik |

| Topic | Chrissy Teigen deletes thousands of tweets after being accused of illuminati |
| Darmik 07/15/20 6:33:45 PM #36 | Sad_Face posted... Everyone on that flight log should be investigated. Epstein had literal sex slaves on that island. Why else would someone come down to his island and not get a hotel on St. Thomas or St. John? Why would her name be in the flight log in the first place? The problem is 4chan has created a fake list of celebrities that have people who weren't even on the flight logs. Tom Hanks is an example. I don't know if she's even on the proper log because of all the bullshit out there. I don't think she is. --- Kind Regards, Darmik |

| Darmik 07/15/20 2:26:51 AM #30 | I can't think of any game that improved stealth AI after release. It's usually not really done that well in open world games. Which is why these games are often filled with waist high grass lol. --- Kind Regards, Darmik |

Ah yes I think the first two could be my thing. Not sure about Slay the Spire. CommunismFTW posted... isn't pedro the Yes but why. I'm not expecting the game to explain it. --- Kind Regards, Darmik |
| Topic | Valve employees want to build a 'full-scale,' non-VR Half-Life game |
| Darmik 07/15/20 12:14:00 AM #14 | CommunismFTW posted... Final Hours revealed Valve has sunk a ridiculous amount of money into numerous projects that went nowhere, and Source 2 has been notoriously slow to get up to speed on all the milestones set for it and consequently, cancellations soon after limitation after limitation appeared. A couple of concepts were some sort of randomly generated game and a Ravenholm spin-off from Arkane that was randomly dropped. I think they're just a studio that isn't really built to release a AAA game in 2020 as they were. The days of messing around with a game engine and making a game out of it within a couple of years isn't really a thing anymore. Maybe Half-Life Alyx got them to rethink a few things but we'll see. --- Kind Regards, Darmik |
| Topic | Is Ghost of Tsushima the last heavy hitter of this gen? |
| Darmik 07/15/20 12:10:33 AM #4 | Smashingpmkns posted... Cyberpunk yo I think that'll be seen as a next gen game at this point. Ah wait I forgot the next gen patch is apparently later. --- Kind Regards, Darmik |
| Topic | Is Ghost of Tsushima the last heavy hitter of this gen? |
| Darmik 07/15/20 12:07:32 AM #1 | Just sort of hit me. It could technically be The Avengers but that's a crossgen game that offers a free upgrade. But it could sorta count since I think it will come out before the next gen consoles by a month or so. I'm looking forward to some other stuff but they're more of a mid-budget affair. Nintendo is more in their own bubble really. Switch will be around until like 2023. Reminds me of when The Last of Us capped out last gen. --- Kind Regards, Darmik |
| Topic | My Friend Pedro is really fun |
| Darmik 07/14/20 11:54:24 PM #11 | Smashingpmkns posted... It is a really good game but the controls are very convoluted on Switch imo. But it has some really cool moments. Yeah my big issue with the controls is that I often roll when I don't want to. Dunno why that isn't on a button. --- Kind Regards, Darmik |
| Topic | My Friend Pedro is really fun |
| Darmik 07/14/20 11:51:48 PM #8 | MabusIncarnate posted... There's a lot of good gems on Gamepass, I need to play Pedro more. I tried it out for an hour or so and was loving it. Yeah it's funny I think finding some hidden gem on Game Pass is more memorable to me than using it for the AAA games. What Remains of Edith Finch, Outer Wilds and now this are such nice surprises. --- Kind Regards, Darmik |
| Topic | Do video game companies make more from PC sales or console sales? |
| Darmik 07/14/20 11:49:20 PM #4 | It really depends on the company I think. Steam takes the same digital cut as Xbox and Playstation and pretty much all of the major publishers make more money from digital and DLC at this point so I think potential userbase matters more these days. Actually here's an example from EA who even own their own PC storefront. https://ir.ea.com/press-releases/press-release-details/2020/Electronic-Arts-Reports-Q4-and-Full-Year-FY20-Financial-Results/ Consoles are their top earner. --- Kind Regards, Darmik |

It's just pure dumb fun. But if you're good enough you can create some awesome replays too. Kicking up a frying pan and using it to ricochet bullets at enemies is fantastic. --- Kind Regards, Darmik |

| Darmik 07/14/20 11:34:00 PM #9 | Not a surprise for the people who beat Half-Life Alyx pogo_rabid posted... "Alyx sold like shit and we lost a ton of money" It sold 1-2 million which is massive for a high end VR game that's only on Steam. Webbernet posted... Clearly they should have a kickstarter if they can't get funding from Gabe. Funding isn't really the problem as much as constantly doing prototypes, getting bored and moving on. Halo478 posted... Imagine if half life Alyx was on all consoles would have made them billions fucking idiots Then it wouldn't be Half-Life Alyx --- Kind Regards, Darmik |
| Topic | Ghost of Tsushima reviews going live |
| Darmik 07/14/20 10:02:07 PM #27 | Doe posted... What's the point of talking about reviews if you're going to ignore or discredit scores you don't want to be true? I don't get why people say "X is bad site which explains their score" when something like TLOU2 drops and they declare basically every site is bought and paid for. There's no actual agreed list of good and bad review sites it's all just a monkey scramble to confirm people's biases and hype themselves before buying something. If a reviewer agrees with me they're legit If they think it's better than I do they're lying because they were bribed If they think it's worse than I do they're lying and trying to get clicks --- Kind Regards, Darmik |

| Topic | What's the best Christopher Nolan movie? |
| Darmik 07/14/20 9:47:25 PM #13 | I love going to see Nolan's movies because they're pretty much the only blockbuster movie these days where I have no idea what I'm really in for. A bit of a shame in a way. Although ironically he needed Batman to get into that position. --- Kind Regards, Darmik |

| Darmik 07/14/20 9:33:36 PM #1 | Being able to string together huge chains like an over the top action movie is so fun. Especially when you're sliding down on a hook or running on a barrel or something. I'm up to like the weird dreamland now. I really need to play more of these quirky games that just focus on a cool concept. No idea who Pedro is or why he's a banana but he's cool. --- Kind Regards, Darmik |

| Darmik 07/14/20 9:09:49 PM #4 | FreezerDoor posted... They couldn't make the transition to 3D. Like Mario and Zelda was able to. I'd be happy with some more great 2D games like Donkey Kong and Kirby at this point. 6 years between Sonic Generations and Sonic Mania and they're still both 'Best Of' Sonic games. --- Kind Regards, Darmik |
| Topic | Why is it so hard for Sega to make a great Sonic game |
| Darmik 07/14/20 9:06:41 PM #1 | In the last 20 years there has been like 3 great ones. A few more if we count the racing games. Then when they finally find something that works...it gets abandoned or brought back in a shittier way. --- Kind Regards, Darmik |

| Topic | Do you agree with the phrase 'representation matters' |
| Darmik 07/14/20 9:00:15 PM #19 | I think even on a personal level we all like when we see a movie or game that's set in a place we're familiar with. I live in Australia and thought Forza Horizon 3 was really neat. I dunno if I'd have even checked out that game without that element. When I see a movie in New York it's cool to see and recognize places I've been to when that happens. And this is such a shallow example of representation. When you have characters who have unique experiences it can mean a whole lot to people who feel like they haven't seen anything like it represented on the screen. --- Kind Regards, Darmik |

| Darmik 07/14/20 8:00:40 PM #8 | HylianFox posted... thing is though PS All-Stars might have worked if it had just been a straight-up SSB clone and not introduce dumb mechanics Maybe. But it also lacked that sort of fan service charm that Smash Bros has as well. It felt so lifeless. Picking characters that were still in development was a bad choice too. The Bioshock Infinite stage didn't age well. --- Kind Regards, Darmik |
