Can someone ELI5 what this game is about? I tried to watch some streams on twitch today and everyone i checked out was just someone wandering around a small island catching fish and digging holes and planting flowers. Is this like a stardew valley? I then saw the switch subreddit is in an uproar bc the console is locked to a single island. And only the 1st profile gets progression and new profiles can only visit the one island, even if you buy another copy of the game.

I love the aug, so ill have to give it a shot

I posted this in the PS5 thread too. Just stirring the pot!

also - what is everyone's loadout for warzone? I've been switching around and I find the SCAR with some recoil and ADS attachments is pretty good. For some reason, Im finding the M4 to not perform as well as in the core game - even though everyone seems to be running it. I do know that having a silencer and extended mag is key for this game. My loadout is pretty meta Main loadout: Primary: HDR with mono suppressor, longest barrel, tac laser, thermal scope, stock with ADS Secondary - 357 - (I take this loadout if i downed someone or found a good AR/SMG. then just swap the pistol with the long gun - this allows me to run ghost as my 2nd perk) Heartbeat sensor proximity mine Perks: cold blooded, ghost, amped alternate loadout (if i didn't find a good primary to use) Primary: alternating between M4,Scar, P90, Grau - cant figure out what gun works best - all with as many recoil attachments, supressor and extended mag Secondary - AX50 - mono suppressor, long barrel, tac laser, ADS stock, fully loaded heartbeat sensor proximity mine perks: cold blooded, overkill, amped

I actually played a few matches yesterday. I finally convinced my buddy to download it and i was showing him the ropes. we teamed up with a rando....and we actually did really good! Had my best match yet - we took 2nd. It was just me left in the final circle and it was 1v3. I downed one and was about to down a 2nd and ran out of bullets..lol. I ran out and tried to throw my c4 at them and it fucking came up short! another 10' and it would've gotten them all. I think I ended with like 10 kills too. it's so much better playing with people who communicate and formulate a plan.

shows pending invite. so it went out.

I think I added you to COD. you’re same username, correct?

Right. So if I put it all the way to the right I’ll have around 5-6” of space from the fan to the side of my unit. But then it just hits a wall. Really not a good idea as that hot air will just sit there. I literally may have to lay it front to back so that maybe the fan is facing out into my living room. i dunno. I’ll figure it out. Life....finds a way.

So I have 17” wide and around 6” tall. i would have to lay it on it’s side and then there would only be a few inches clearance on the top for the cooling fan. not really a great design for entertainment consoles.

when is Control coming?

lol

but slower SSD

I just hope this thing fits into my entertainment console.

Next up..... Lands of Lore!!!

1. The audio mix in the main game is just terrible overall and it’s the same in warzone. 2. agree 100%. High level players are fully geared within 2-3 minutes of the start of the match. All your ideas make sense and i would even like to add that either the option to buy the load out is greyed out until there’s only X amount of players left (maybe 25?) or you can only do it once per team per match. 3. they confirmed in the next update (which will be soon) this is going to be fixed.

Let’s squad up! i just took 11th, that was my best match yet. Lol

The download for me was only 18Gb, but that’s bc i have the base game installed. The BR map reuses a lot of areas from groundwar and core maps. the whole game is massive - like 180Gb

so as I mentioned, I’m not a huge BR fan....but I actually really enjoyed the 4ish matches I played tonight. my very first match I was paired with 2 other dudes that communicated and it was really fun. Like some of the most fun I’ve had in this game in 200+ hrs. Literally no one communicates in the core game. I managed to get 4 kills before we got lit up. then the next few matches, zero communication. Wonky drop zones that the leader kept changing. I think literally almost all the other matches was 2 people in a party. They managed to stick together and I spent most of the time fighting to try to get to them..and they kept moving away. So I basically played solo and still had a good time. Picked up a bounty contract and managed to take out the target. I think the unique touches like contracts, killstreaks and the gulag really make it stand out. I like how it’s minimal inventory management and you can regen health. I also really like that with the armor, the TTK makes for some good gunfights. The core game sorely lacks this. It comes down to who saw who first and who has the lower ping. overall, I can see me spending a good amount of time in this mode. The game feel fresh again. I just wish i would’ve messaged those first 2 dudes and friended them. 😕

Bummer

I wish destiny would go cross-play. Everyone who played on PS4 went to PC, right?

Here’s some in-depth info on Warzone

Warzone (Battle Royale and Plunder) releases tomorrow! I gotta say, they really nailed the constant feed of content, the weekly change up of playlists, the level and unlocks and the season pass. This is a great example of how the industry should move forward with MP/live service games. with that, I’m not really a BR fan, but I’ll definitely give this a go. Would love to squad up with some of you fools.

Still playing COD: MW19. Grinding some gold skins in the CQC playlist. I pretty much dislike core and ground war is just awful. I’ve Recently leveled my ax-50 sniper to be fun in CQC. i also finally linked my PC to the steam link app on my Apple TV. I then linked my steam controller to the Apple TV. And I’m now about 1 1/2hrs into The Witcher 1! also - went back to BFV after they reverted the TTK and realized it’s still just BFV and just not that fun to play anymore. I’m really hoping the make some big changes to the next one.

I found the demo to be somewhat underwhelming. Maybe bc I’ve seen the cut scenes and gameplay from this area a 100 times already. I dunno. it’s missing the charm of the original. The areas felt very sterile and empty. I remember the original was so atmospheric. Maybe its bc it was such a radical departure from Rpgs and being 3D. I just didn’t feel impressed with what i saw. I didn’t stop once and just look around the environment. as for the gameplay...it’s OK. It’s fun switching around to different characters and I can see how they are shaping the fighting mechanics to require certain characters for situations. They didn’t have enough skills though for me to decide if I actually like it. As it was presented, it felt very button-mashey. I’m hoping it’s deeper as more characters are introduced and more skills are opened. I’m still playing it, but my hype has definitely lessened.
