The Gaming Lounge: Beyond

you were on the Mutatis Mutandis site? I remember that site!!!! it was great. that was one of the first big sites i found on the web, and probably eventually resulted in my finding my way here all those years ago
yeah I was one of the info people that put up the info on mutant powers and for their bio's and and then the tech side for forge and then I was doing the news articles . and went out to get the news and for some reason that part won't let go of me it's one of the few way I relax during the week and it stop's me from slipping cause during my time when don't write at all I be come a dis understable mess. in writing word. be with since high school it's weird it's one of the few ways I break out of that pattern .

the owner of the site Charley X is on my face book buddies he just had his B day not long ago. and his kids are doing great. it was a shame he had to shut down the site . but it was some time after I left I be came stressed being a mod my self and got tired of dealing with crazyness and I was about to snap and my buddies got me into pro gaming and then from there I decided I wanted to be come a dev. so I left comic's for a bit

so I went to art school while doing pro gaming and and I'm also trying to finish up what I need to do to get into the gaming industry . I was also games tester for a bit too.

Again I'm sorry. it's just when get into a certain way cause I got alot of I develop a pattern . and I'm mostly trying to help and I always have two or more thing coming in my direction especilly when they say they need info. lol my mind is alway's full of thoughts should I do this or that.

how much info should i put out is this enough. ohhh no leave this out . no no let that other person have it. hey wait they don't need me there and beside I should only put up info on games I'm interested in . okthere extra info that video isn't enough.


which is why you don't see me in much military games or gangster games and some others. some bring up bad memorys like time my mother friend brough her son ahd my sister wretling and the youngest wason 3 year old . yet I got blamed for when I saw that and that one got hurt. . so that why you don't see me in wresting threads. (I like martal arts; but wresting sadly. ...) and other aren't my thing.

yeah spy games, super heroes anything sci-fi you might see me in . but if i'm not feeling it , you won't see there. or it's possible that I'm not there also cause I can't be there cause there's only so much time in the day.

I'm into marvel comic's and som dc . I love video games , I love sci fi , anime( that has it's own genre's) or other wise and if they have some reallife connection in which they might be real to a degree. then I really love that thing. well as long as it's cool . but doesn't go to the level of harming some one.
hell i do marathons with my youngest sister with those animes.


hell I'm trying to keep cool with my family even my mom side love to feud. oh lord I need separation from that half .

I don't need gray hairs and I'm not ready for the salt and pepper look and it's showing. I'm trying to keep my girl friend happy.

like i said I'll try. I just have need when some see this thing. I will try and cut down even more. I will try.

Sooo... what's everyone currently playing? Spent the last half of June playing the Stormblood expansion for FFXIV. I'm having such a great time. Well, not completely. With those 2 new added DPS classes, waiting time for instances are even more abysmal. >_<

I think it was the very first time my heart was racing from excitement, just entering a new area. Kugane is a beautiful looking place.

Sounds like good fun. :up:

Recently went through Vanquish again. Got it for the PS3 after originally playing it on the 360. Still love it. Also just finished Wolfenstein: The Old Blood. Also rather enjoyable, though less action then I was expecting. Right now I am choosing between playing The Force Unleashed again, or starting Skyrim Remastered.
 
Finished, and loved Persona 5. Moved on to, and finished Horizon Zero Dawn. I ended up loving it as well.

Now I'm playing Mass Effect Andromeda. Got it for $30. The bad word of mouth had me wary, so was waiting to get it cheaper. Its better than I expected, but it definitely has its flaws. Especially facial animations, and pop ins. One mission in particular was frustrating as enemies would spawn only after I started a conversation with an NPC. By the time I realized what happened I tried to skip through the conversation, but my team was already dead.

That said I'm still enjoying it. Still can't help but getting an hour into playing it, and get the urge to just pop in Persona, or Horizon again.

Osiris New Dawn CEO to community grumping: ‘I will take these lashings and learn from them’


July 11, 2017 14 comments

Fenix Fire CEO Brian McRae is “not having fun either,” according to his latest dev blog on the Osiris: New Dawn Steam page. His comments are in response to what he characterizes as the “recent negativity in the reviews and forums” regarding the survival sandbox’s messy and experimental early access development, which “breaks [his] heart,” especially when he agrees with the harsh feedback.Read more

Dauntless holds AMA covering free-to-play, Steam, wipes, and Monster Hunter Online

August 23, 2017 17 comments



Yesterday afternoon, the 40-odd-member Phoenix Labs team held a Reddit AMA on Dauntless. Let’s run down the highlights!

  • There are no hard dates attached to the different phases of beta and no details on wipes are available yet. The devs aren’t saying whether test progress will transfer to launch.
  • Zero plans to come to Steam.
  • Ranged weapons “and something else” are under construction. Phoenix wouldn’t talk about more except to say hammers are “getting love.”
  • Damage and efficacy display, especially for combos, is something the devs are considering and seeking feedback on. Ditto hunting/gathering balance, flares, consumables, and weapon appearance evolution.Read more

Dauntless announces early 2018 open beta, shares development roadmap


september 16, 2017 Comments


Let’s cut to the chase: There’s a new roadmap out for Dauntless’ future development, and that roadmap includes an announcement concerning the transition from closed to open beta. Phoenix Labs said that it is targeting an early 2018 window for its OBT, which should be good news for those shut out of the test right now.


Sounds like there are some upgrades planned, too: “Those waiting to join us in the open beta can look forward to more polish and more content. For players who are already in the closed beta, this means that you can look forward to more improvements and seeing your feedback make a tangible impact on the game that you are playing.”Read more

Maybe we should have a separate dedicated thread for gaming news. Then the lounge could be just for gaming chat?
 
I'm fine with the above suggestion. Of this being an actual lounge, and having a separate news thread. That being said, I think this news is important enough to drop in here.

Basically Belgium, Hawaii, and also Australia (they got involved after this article), are looking right at EA, and Battlefront 2. Calling their lootbox system glorified gambling using Star Wars to lure kids into spending money.

Why this matters? Hawaii said it's already talking to other states about legislation into this kind of predatory behavior. Which I agree, it is predatory, and gambling. However, I'm always weary of governmental oversight in gaming. That said, loot box, and heavily microtransactioned games could be seeing some changes in the future. Hell, Australia has banned games before, so we could see the ban of loot box games there as well.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/insert...oot-box-legislation-would-be-complicated/amp/

Forbes said:
From Belgium To Hawaii, Potential 'Battlefront 2' Loot Box Legislation Would Be Complicated

Belgium recently making the argument that loot boxes in games are gambling, saying plainly “the combination of money and addiction is gambling.” They haven’t reached a legal conclusion yet on the matter

And here in the states, there was a televised press event in Hawaii addressing the Battlefront 2 situation specifically, with state reps calling the game “a Star Wars themed online casino designed to lure kids into spending money.” They say they’re looking into legislation to avoid these games being sold to children, or to prevent the games from employing these kinds of randomized, gambling-inspired models in the first place.
