Ranked will not be F2P. If you already own Seige, you won’t have to pay again for ranked.

I sincerely hope LoL never shuts down, because then all those players will have to go to some other game.

Thats crazy you experience this. I have like 1500 hours in SoT, and it’s Rare (pun intended) to even hear other crews use voice chat. I can’t remember the last time someone was toxic. My only gripe is their servers suck sooooooooo much ass, I legit don’t think they have a single employee that knows how fix it.

Do you do open crew?

Yea, Shroud helped a lot during early development.

This 1.0 crashes on me too much, and is a gamble on how far back the last working auto-save is.

Lmao he really criticized his center aligned task bar. L take.

Released on Steam 17 Oct 2024 and currently @ 49% positive reviews.

Holy hell, thank you for this comment, I fucking loved Rising Storm 2, and wouldn’t have known this is it’s successor. Hype goes up!

Gods I need to replay it and go around slapping the English, again.

I’ll try it this weekend again, hopefully I’ll have better luck with servers when people have off from work.

I very much enjoy the hardcore milsim shooters, too. I used played a ton of Hell Let Loose, and even though it’s a bit more casual Rising Storm 2 Vietnam was always mega fun.

Also, don’t worry, you haven’t oversold the game or anything. Your posts have been extremely helpful, and really hyping me to see if I can get this game to work for me!

I very recently played the 1st, and am currently mid way through 2. All these years later, and 2 still has jarring performance dips… On my 5800X3D and 6800XT… I legit think they made 2 way too heavy for their game engine.

The amount of frustrations is way more, too. I’ve had to load saves so many times because I’m RIGHT behind someone, but instead of a stealth kill, I just slash my sword at their back and alert every one else in the process. Also stealth kills from jumping down on people. There’s like a 1/4 second time window to press sword attack, and all the damn time I just slice at the top of their head, or land on them, both breaking stealth and alerting everyone, again… Just a month ago I never struggled with any of these issues playing the 1st.

I just tried out this game. 0 populated NA servers. I tried a few populated EU servers, but with 180+ ping, it was veryyyy difficult to land shots. And I’m not sure if it is the game design, or ping, but movement felt like I was the puck on an air-hockey table.

Oh hell yes, Harsh Doorstep looks fantastic, thank you!

I tried all 3 beta alpha test and it was unplayable on my PC. Not to mention always active kernel anticheat (from what Ive read it’s terrible) from a Chinese gacha company. Big shame because it looks fun.

Maybe this next Battlefield won’t suck. #hopium

Apparently this one is going to be less of a zoomer shooter.

What a shame, it’s in my top 3 games I’ve ever played, but I pirated it because Epic app sucks ass. Was going to buy it once it was on Steam.

No, same store, different skin.

For me like 2+ years ago it already forced me to EA app. I installed Origin to reinstall Battlefield 2042, and it forced me to update to EA App, or the game wouldnt launch. This was when the app was BARELY functional, too.

While not exactly a plot, LoL launched with a decent amount of lore, and grew over time. I still have my physical copy that came with a map of the nations and where main characters were from.

Retail has become a very tiring roller coaster. Season by season things shift wildly from mega fun, to dog shit. And it makes no sense. The WoW team has to have all the metrics on what people like and don’t like, yet they’ll go double down and try something that was universally hated just 1-2 years ago. The biggest is when they cater to casual players, everyone loves it. So 1-2 seasons later they cater to the hardcore and everyone leaves and the game sucks.

If you queue competitve you’re guaranteed human players. And no Crossplay. Not the best solution, but yea…

Actually, yes there is! Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC. massgrave.dev

Compared to OW, its gameplay is designed to be more fun and casual, and less hardcore competitive. Its very fun and not at all something to take serious, including their ranked matchmaking.

Agreed!

Huh super interesting, this just made me look it up. USB does in fact use compression, but how much will depend on the bitrate set in the Oculus Link app.

I don’t VR that much, but I remember using wired USB with Oculus Link without tinkering, and I couldn’t tell that it was compressed, ever. Like crystal clear output, no signs of artifacting or anything.

Which is wild to me, since DisplayPort over USB-C is a thing. I just looked and it’s capable of 4k@60Hz with 24bit color and no compression. So I guess it’s just a limitation of the Quest 2’s XR2 chip.

After a quick search it looks like Quest 2 over USB can use Steam VR’s super sampling. Since it’s baked into SteamVR, it seems like basically all connection methods can use it.

Thanks for the heads up, I would have never guessed it uses compression!

I only use Eternity on my phone and I can see it working?

For my Quest 2, if I play PCVR over USB I get 0 compression? I only notice compression when using air link, virtual desktop, or Steam link.

The original leaks and speculation for Deckard were that it’s a regular PCVR headset for use wireless or wired. And that standalone was something extra to buy, that mounted to the back of the head strap and connected to the HMD.

Yes I did. I only edited my original comment to cross out “along side.”

Alongside was poor word choice. Regardless Valve now has a history of releasing their own games for their new hardware. Alyx for the Index, and Aperture Desk Job for Steam Deck.

Cite? Its all just speculation… Even my comment is just speculation and prediction…

SteamVR really does all the heavy lifting for PCVR, even for Quest headsets since they relaunched Steam Link.

Call of Duty, League of Legends, Valorant, and Battlefield. And those are all some of, if not the mostly populated multiplayer games.

Thanks, I hate it.

!I’m saving it to be a menace in friends’ Discord!<

Its probably a Half Life: Alyx sequel. Which is mega hype because that is the best VR game ever.

Spoiler:

! G-man unexpectedly plays a huge role in the game towards the end, to the point he’s so powerful you’re not sure he’s human.!<

That plus Valve’s next VR headset codenamed Deckard is gotta be right around the corner, with the controller leaks. Alyx released along side the Valve Index to show it off. Lastly the marketing info for SteamOS being show combined with rumors Deckard may be a stand alone VR headset, or an optional add-on.

This.

Liars Bar. 4 player card or dice “bullshit” game where loser takes a shot at themselves Russian Roulette style. Me and my friends play, it’s a lot of fun!

Man, years ago I grabbed an add-on for WoW that made a database of everything across all characters. It tracked gold, items, etc, and playtime… I was not prepared to see i had over a year of playtime… Which granted, includes AFK and time in queues, but still.

I think reviving Marathon as an extraction shooter is their next and upcoming game. There’s a short trailer with IMO, a very cool art style.

Oh man, the first android phone! That was a fun phone, and the droid from Verizon.

The woman in grey, in the middle of the thumbnail, looks like she had surgery done to look like the gigachad meme.

And that’s most likely because it just finished a $2 sale.
