Why do peoples' names float above their heads? :psyduck:

Is that something you can turn off selectively, so that other people can't see your name? Is that a cashshop thing? Are there any plans to remove it?

Why is this the top seller on Steam right now? When are people going to learn that these games are broken piles of rear end?

Star Citizen isn't the scam. It's this entire genre. All of it. Alllllll of it.

Haha Rust jsut had a major update to its game, to include functioning air drops again, this is in the patch notes:

"The package also has higher value loot than can be found in the other loot spots, and you don’t have to pay for it."

like the "p2w" airdrop thing, its a big loud as gently caress plane that drops green smoke that everyone on the server will be able to see and go toward

if you manage to get to the airdrop before someone else does and takes your stuff, before you get killed, before a loving bear kills you, or whatever else you might get a gun/guns, you might get like some loving water or whatever

apparently they are going to make guns rarer drops in the crates and also make the drop zone a lot bigger, meaning good loving luck getting your crate

its not so much p2w as an RNG slotmachine with zombies and KOS assholes standing next to you waiting for you to pull the lever so they can steal whatever coins drop out of the machine

I heard about 50 planes last night and only saw ONE of them. You need max render distance to see most, and even that, I can't see them. What the gently caress graphic options make my sky anything other than a giant gray piece of poo poo? It's hard to contest planes when it's raining/cloudy 24/7.

If anyone here is still seriously thinking about buying this "game", my PayPal is open for donations, because at least giving your cash to me gives you the satisfaction of having done something good with your money.

Keep in mind, most of the people in this fact are drawn to the fact they can use this game to take money from people.

Also, according to the Smedmaster General himself .5% of people have requested a refund, there sure is a lot more than .5% of the playerbase complaining... the hypocrisy is overwhelming.

on one hand, i can see smed lieing about number of refund requests. on the other, its likely just reddit's vocal minority pitching a fit and making GBS threads it's collective diaper so vOv

i dont really gaf if loads of people get refunded though cause the game is fun when it works.

e:i didnt play warz or dayz so idk how those threads went. are we on the same course itt?

It horribly buggy and featureless right now, but it doesn't seem unsalvageable.


The fact that it's from Sony is what worries me and ultimately makes me think I should have just went outside and given a hobo the :10bux: :10bux:

Did they do something bad to Planetside 2? I played a lot of that game and only stopped because you can only pour so many hundreds of hours into the same shooter.

if you go into steam's broadcast beta thing, you can watch people broadcast them being poo poo at the game. if you must watch twitch, idk man. find one that doesn't have an annoying voice?

My final form.
Got to play for the first time tonight. It's super rough, but there's more of a game in place than there was in pretty much the entire first six months of DayZ standalone.

Good:
Melee combat seems alright(I didn't get a gun). The servers were bugging a big, so it was laggy at times.
The crafting system makes sense and works pretty well.
It looks alright.

Bad:
The servers are too crowded.
The map sucks currently.
Barely any loot.
Lots of kill on sight.

I probably would have had a more lovely time if I hadn't run across a fuckoff huge group of friendlies, but I think the game will be okay with time.

Will arrow headshots kill players in one hit? I nailed a guy with one earlier but two seconds later I was disconnected.
