Nostalgia4Butts: Jun 1, 2006; WHERE MY HOSE DRINKERS AT

yeah its on my ps4 now.

as of right now the only new game coming out that i care about on ps4 is kojima babybot, so im just keeping an eye out for sales on any fighting games i skipped out on for whatever reason and preparing the console for the undying lands, as a backlog of games to try again like bloodborne and others in the future and work towards doing all the online dev for mgsv bc im stupid and want to before konami melts the servers down for more pachinko machines

right now unless theres weirdo titles that i dunno about or hasnt been announced yet since e3 it feels like everything is targeting next gen. im pretty surprised that death stranded wasnt delayed to do both ps4/ps5 like what they did with mgsv. as of now its pretty much switch or nothing for me, bc ive been taking a long break from pc gaming and not feeling too bad about it tbh

There's an arcade game called Killer Queen which is apparently really loving good. A few of my buddies have played it and loved it.

There is a version for the Switch that is on the way, now, and is slated for Q3 this year. I'm pretty loving stoked for this:

I just want to play TloU on PC. Game looked absolutely incredible, and I remember watching the YouTube �movie� that someone pieced together with cutscenes and choice gameplay bits and being deeply envious.

This right here is how you set up a loving game

So the Barkley Shut Up and Jam 2 thread has kept the vigil over that failed Kickstarter and the devs came in. poo poo went from 0 to Post mortem in like 2 pages, but it keeps going, most recent post for other differently gruntled devs.

Hiratio posted:

Chef vanished from the project 2 1/2 years ago. I've tried contacting him multiple times and haven't received a response. Bort left around the same time to be a family man.

The Kickstarter was not necessary, especially in hindsight. The majority of work on this game was unpaid. Myself, Bort, and Chef are the original Barkley 1 creators. I did not join the Kickstarter with them because I was aware of the many problems that could (and did) arise.

I was asked to join the project 3 years after the KS when the project had little money and was in shambles. I was committed to trying to finish the game but it was consistently set back by horrible management and I ended up quitting. The person who owns ToG and is running it now had nothing to do with Barkley 1 and has zero game dev experience. He is the ToG PR guy.

When I quit, Lazrool also quit. We were the only two remaining who understood the technical inner workings of this game. Laz worked on this project nearly from the start, pro bono, and was tired of the nonsense as well.

There is no incentive for "ToG" or anyone attached to the KS to talk about this debacle.

The range from above quote to here has been a feel good/bad read

FrankieSmileShow posted:

And like many have stated, we all contributed to making the game overly complex and convoluted. "That's the joke" etc.
Im the one who pushed for having gun materials, which two years later led to me drawing 2001 loving gun sprites. An entirely self-inflicted wound. The idea of gun materials was that it would be one of the main ways we "gate" higher level gun drops, by controlling which enemies drop what materials of weapons. It also added a lot of diversity to the weaponry you find, and made gun fusion really fun, because you could end up with really absurd-looking weapons after just a little bit of experimentation. Like a revolver made out of brains, an origami sniper rifle or leather machinegun turning into a studded leather machinegun. The gun materials affected the weapons' stats and stat growth, but also sometimes applied special effects to the shots that could then mix with the affixes and made really cool results. Like, the "SALT" material made a bunch of guns with salt shakers at the end, and they all fired shotgun-like spread shots of salt, so that material essentially turned any weapon into a bit of a shotgun. Another material (Itano) made any of its shots into enemy-seeking rockets that left behind smoke trails, so it basically turned any weapon into a heat-seeking mini rocket launcher.

Another super absurd idea I pushed for was to have the gun's type (pistol, revolver, rocket launcher, double-barelled shotgun etc) come from this absurd system that involved a procedurally-generated colored map on which there are continents and islands representing each gun type, different for every game but built with a rough internal logic (similar weapons' lands are close to one another) , and every weapon in the game "lives" somewhere in that map, and fusing two weapons made those two "meet in the middle" based on their relative power to decide what new weapon type they are. In my defense though, I then immediately built that absurd idea and as far as I know, that is still the same code working in the game now, but its definitely one of these absurd ideas that could have degenerated and added to these problems.

PS4 XCOM2 review - it�s still as good as it ever was but whichever company ported it to PS4 hosed it up real bad.

Dauntless from Epic games (fortnite) is a pretty cool free-to-play monster hunter type game. It's 100% cross platform as well, and saves your character across all platforms.

It's not as in-depth but it's also new and epic has lots and lots of money/skill to add more stuff so it could be on par with monster hunter in time.

The Long Dark is a black hole for my time. I'm on the Whiteout challenge and comfortably have almost all the poo poo needed already collected with 20 days left before the storm deadline. It's probably my half-dozenth stab at the challenge and the smoothest going so far. There was an update yesterday but it looks like mostly bug fixes.

I should've bought this game the first time I saw it on a half off sale a few years back. It's pretty much the exploration side of fallouts that I loved.

It's not actually made by Epic I don't think, unless something happened to Phoenix Labs since last I heard.

I wiped my KSP install and started over. Aside from a few convenience mods (scatterer, alarm clock, some visual stuff, and mechjeb) I'm playing stock parts. The DSN is set to quarter power, no extra stations, progression difficulty is normal. Scott Manley rules with the Kerbals: no badasses, no quickloading, dead is dead. I'm allowing mechjeb because you have to manually do its major functions before they unlock and really to save some tedium. The goal is to see what I can do with the new robotics and science parts bare stock.
