CORRECTION: Warframe is first and foremost a solo/up to four player cooperative mission-based game, so the new expansion is NOT going outside of the normal purview of the game. While there is pvp, it is much less popular than the primary game. As a side note, if none of the Easy Allies have played warframe it might be a fun thing to look into. The core gameplay feels quite good with all the moves you can do, and I imagine someone like huber might like all of the cool animations and weapons.
@andrethyst9057 жыл бұрын
They haven't announced when it's coming out yet. People are thinking it'll be sometime in the fall. The game's got plenty of good stuff as it is though, if you haven't played it at all before it doesn't hurt to give it a shot. Seriously, there's a ridiculous amount of content there.
@andrethyst9057 жыл бұрын
Fair enough. One advantage of warframe is that just about everything in the game has a level, so if you know someone who plays, they could just pick a new setup that they haven't leveled up yet and at least statwise they will be on your level, and they won't just be blazing ahead of you. That said, they'll probably be used to Warframe's movement and will look like they're flying around the levels. =P Either way, it's a good way to have someone experienced join you and not just have them doing everything. I hope you enjoy it when Eidolon comes out!

Brad nails it, in OW you have to work together, yet it's very popular and people are passionate and competitive about it, so naturally you will inevitably encounter very hostile people and the occasional troll. Obviously playing with people you trust can mitigate this, but it's unavoidable... sometimes you get lucky, and sometimes you get very unlucky. The other night my friend and I had 3 games in a row with teammates that displayed incredibly poor behavior. First game someone threw, second game someone sat in the spawn and spewed hate in the chat, third game someone blamed someone else the entire round and eventually threw because the other player didn't play a "viable character". It was so disappointing and disheartening. But guess what? Next night we had five games of bliss. People working together, people being nice and jovial, even the games we lost were good games. The GG's were real. There's more Blizzard can do, but completely eliminating trolls is virtually impossible. This is a game where people pay actual money, usually $40, just to get another account to "smurf". You can find ways to punish reported players, but the die-hards will just buy a new account and reset their stats. It just goes to show you how immaculate the game design is when this crap is actually worth putting up with, because there's nothing cheap about the game itself, it's just the players who can't work together that make it frustrating. When you combine your raw FPS skill, game-sense, and coordinate with others to pull off a close win, it's not just a fun game, it's the best feeling in the god damn world.

I've played a little bit of OW, (it's not really my kind of game) but I immediately announced my newbness and most of the time people were very happy to try and teach me how to play my character. My time with OW has been very positive, but like I said, it's not really my kind of game.

A few notes on Warframe, from a die-hard fan: 1. The plains are unique because it adds an open-world environment to explore. There are already hub areas in the game for people to hang out in that have a pretty large selection of activities (called relays--basically giant space stations). The plains are also adding completely customizable melee weapons, where you can choose from different components to craft a unique weapon, which another thing that has us excited. 2. Quests and missions got mixed up in the podcast. Quests are a one-time series of missions that give unique rewards and follow the same structure for everyone, though the areas are often partially randomly generated (the maps--think Diablo's main story). Missions are the regular play, they involve a specific objective (ie a horde mode, an exterminate, an escort mission, bosses, etc) and also use randomly generated maps from a selection of tilesets varying from planet to planet. 3. Less a correction, more of a note: Warframe is very much in competition with Destiny. Both are "looter shooters" based heavily on small, squad-based missions. Warframe, with its incredible quantity of content (30 or so unique frames, hundreds and hundreds of unique weapons, dozens of quests, plethora of end-game content, huge installed userbase that just keeps growing) is something I'm sure Bungie and Activision are aware of, especially on PC. I would recommend the Allies check out Warframe, at least a little bit and especially if the last time they touched it was when it first came out. It is incredibly polished and has a great gameplay cycle and is a ton of fun.

What does it matter if Brad or Jones buys Sea of Thieves on Xbox One or PC? They get a license for the other platform they didn't buy it on anyway and Microsoft makes 100% of those $60. Where it theoretically hurts them is that they aren't buying into the Xbox ecosystem, and they'd buy their third-party games elsewhere, so Steam is taking that 30% cut of that third party game instead of Microsoft. However, these PC players were never going to buy a an Xbox to play third party games, if they did buy an Xbox it would only be for exclusives. All Microsoft is doing is eliminating that $300 barrier to entry that is their console. So their console sales numbers will suffer, but it doesn't matter because where the platform holders make their money is on game sales not hardware sales, and these players weren't buying their games and now they can. This move has only ever been for these PC players who weren't going to buy these games. To most other people these "Microsoft" exclusives are still just Xbox exclusives because they can't play them on PS4, them being on PC doesn't matter because most console players aren't going to build a PC.
@EmilyRose9007 жыл бұрын
I agree, but why put a shit-ton of money into R&D for the XB1X? It seams to me that they should just bow out of producing consoles and just be a big time publisher. I would argue that a company like Activision is making a lot more money just selling games than trying to make a console that you can play their games on too. Wouldn't it be more lucrative to make endorsement deals with PC manufacturers (which they already do with Win 10 pack-ins)? So instead of the whole "it plays best on XB1X" they could say " optimized for Nividea" or somthing to that effect. I'm obviously not an expert, but the situation MS finds itself in is perplexing to say the least.
@tusharsindhu42827 жыл бұрын
I think that it makes a difference for people like me. I used to own both the original ps2 and xbox, both the xbox 360 and ps3....In both cases, i bought the original xbox and ps3 late in its life cycle primarily for the exclusives... However, this generation i am sticking to my PC and ps4. PS4 has most of the exclusives, whereas i can still play the few xbox exclusives that exist on the PC. There is absolutely no incentive to own an xbox at the moment. So for people who own a halfway decent PC, the ps4 is the only practical console... whereas, until they started the play-everywhere concept... i could still have considered buying an xbox.

PSEUDO CORRENTION: Microsoft isn't mandating that games must ship with Xbox One X specific enhancements because of two things: 1. MS is taking a leap of faith that developers and publishers will make Xbox One X enhanced versions of their games anyways since it's supposedly incredibly easy to make Xbox One X conversions to begin with. It took Turn 10 Studios only two days to get Forza 7 running on the One X in native 2160p (a.k.a. 4K) at a locked 60fps with all of the graphical settings set to maximum, and even then they were only utilizing 2/3 of the Xbox One X's GPU power. This was before they even went into hardware specific optimizations. I know Turn 10 is a first party studio who also has an incredibly optimized engine, but you have to admit that's quite remarkable. Also, since most games these days already have PC versions, 4K assets and such already exist for most games to use in potential Xbox One X conversions. 2. All games will have access to the Xbox One X's extra power regardless anyways. Even if your game doesn't ship with or isn't patched to feature specific One X enhancements, games will still look and play better on the Xbox One X. All games will have access to the One X's additional RAM, so asset streaming and load times will be faster. The One X will apply 16x anisotropic filtering to all games regardless, so textures will always appear clean and sharp. Games that utilize dynamic resolutions should always be operating at their max resolution on the One X, and unless your engine is don goofing frame rates should also always be operating at their target as well. So even if you don't patch your game to feature specific One X enhancements or don't ship it with any, all of these improvements will be applied regardless when played on the Xbox One X. And that's for all Xbox One games, all of the backwards compatible Xbox 360 games, and for all of the upcoming backwards compatible Original Xbox games as well.

Microsoft already said they will not be dictating to devs that their games have to hit certain specs for the One X.

My prediction for PS5: - It will be a hybrid console like the Switch, but it won't be a tablet, instead it will be a mix between a PS console and a PSP\Vita like handheld. For bonus points, it will also have the comfortable form factor of a Dual Shock. - The home console part will be a power house running at 4k, checkerboard or otherwise (it doesn't really matter since it looks great either way). The handheld part will display games at 1080p. - It will be able to home console version will use Blu-Ray games, while the handheld version will play downloadable versions of the games you own that you can download for free due to cross-buy. - It will have normal chat and party chat options (not some abomination that makes no sense). - It will have a battery life of 6 to 8 hours. - Custom menus and backgrounds will return. - Multiplayer will once again be free and PS Plus will go back to how it originally was. (A man can dream, right?) - Kingdom Hearts 3, Final Fantasy 7 remake and Death Stranding will be launch titles for it. (Hey, I am being realistic)

Even though I agree with Damiani on Xbox One needs more exclusives, I think it'll be worth getting the X, because of Blu-ray 4K, backwards compatibility (Xbox and X360 games should look a lot better) and just for having a nice machine under the 4K TV that can play movies and games with ease.

They keep saying generations are a thing of the past, with Sony and Nintendo continuing to have clear lines in the sand, that point is hard to argue unless you are PC based.

I think the only way VR can get into the main stream is if all the tech is integrated into the headset/helmet itself so you are not teathered to anything besides maybe power. If you look at something like a gear VR you can see that it is possible. My prediction is that in 5 years we will see a VR helmet with the horsepower of phone technology and the display of our current VR headsets like oculus or vive! The question is how good will stuff look. Technology moves fast and if we look at what the Switch is capable of for a handheld and that pricepoint I think the product I am invisioning here could potentially be pretty great!

I think it's odd that the main focus on the xbox one x, during this discussion at least, is on the xbox exclusives. I'd imagine a bigger talking point would be with the games that are only console exclusives, which would make the xbox one x version the superior version. In theory at least. If people got the ps4 pro to get the best looking/running games, then why is the xbox one x different? Wouldn't you want the best looking/running third party games aswell? I personally don't see the appeal with any of the half-step consoles, but I appreciate the technology they bring into gaming. Forcing systems/games to find new ways to make games look good. Only downside with all the 4K focus is how it makes texture sizes bigger, which increases download sizes. To me this just means a longer download time, but for many this means a higher chance that they'll be able to download games with their data caps.

Dota 2 has a system where if you get reported and it becomes a pattern over several games you will be given a punishment called Low Priority Queue and what this does in Dota 2 is that is puts you in a separate server with other people with this same punishment that takes longer to find a match, you have to play a game mode where you cannot pick your preferred Hero because you are given a choice of 3 random ones AND you have to win the required number of matches to get out of Low Priority to play the regular game modes and Ranked games. (This also happens if you intentionally leave the game during the match) If Overwatch implemented the same system Valve has for Dota 2 this could change everything the only fear is having bad luck and getting reported regularly by salty idiots and getting in Low Priority unfairly but also Valve only gives you 3 reports to give out a week so you have to use them wisely.

I'd get an Xbox One X if I had a 4K TV... I do intend to get the TV eventually and If the One X is still the most powerful console when I finally do then i'll probably get one ... But it might not b 4 a while and I'm guessing Sony is probably working on something more powerful as we speak... I don't think Sony will be okay with hearing people talk about how much better multiplats look and run on the One X for long.

My argument against XboneX and 4K gaming in general is this: Persona 5 is basically an up-res'ed PS3 game and its one of the best games out in 2017. It's also a PS4 exclusive. Why do I need a stronger console? Okay, whats a really pretty looking console game? Uncharted 4? Another PS4 exclusive (which I didn't even enjoy that much actually) and it looks great already. My TV isn't 4K anyway. I could buy a PS4 Pro or XboneX to play FFXV, but I already played it on PS4. Where is my incentive to buy these more powerful systems? Sea of Thieves is the coolest Xbox game right now and it's really simple looking graphically and I can just buy that on my PC. What are people playing on these powerful systems? VR? Maybe a powerful PC or PS4 Pro is worth it for VR, but there we have another XboneX flaw, no VR. I can't even find a single reason to want to buy an XboneX even if I try. Not only that, I don't even feel the need to upgrade my PC yet or buy a PS4 Pro. When there are like 5 games I want to play but can't on my current equipment, then I will think about it.

Yeah, I worded it as if it wasn't also on PS3, but that still serves my point; PS3 games are still being made in 2017! Do we really need to buy PS4 Pros?

I'm pretty happy with my Pro. I sold my OG PS4 for $200, so it really only cost me $200 and most people never talk about the software update that lets the system try and upres or add frames to games that aren't being optimized specificly for it. I play Dark Souls 3 at more than 30fps (Idk what rate it is now but it's noticeabley better than at launch) unlike an original ps4. FF15 is easily 60fps 1080p and is extremely noticeable. A 200 dollar upgrade was well worth it to me.

The Overwatch question can be directed at any game. People leaving early in Fifa, people trolling in LOL and DOTA etc The kid who plays Overwatch, you can mute chat, you can mute players, you can add friends, you can just play with your friends, you can create custom games to play however you want. The negative social aspect isn't just associated with Overwatch, it's every and any online game. Brad knows what's going on (he knows you can mute, report, communicate etc) the guy who posed the question seems a bit whiney is all. There IS a NO CHAT mode, you can hide the chat so as not to see it. I'm kind of annoyed that Kyle actually chose this question among all the questions submitted...must have been a dry week.....as it's pretty much a NON-QUESTION which is just 1 salty guys complaint about a game that 30 million people play.

The whole console iteration business is weird, because it works so differently from the mobile phone market. Consoles aren't profitable, with the old redesigns, slim and co the remade their hardware, produced it cheaper and over time the hardware turned profitable, even at a lower price. Mobile phones are alway profitable, an iphone cost like $150-200 to build. With this new form of console iteration they basically ensure they the console hardware business will stay unprofitable while fragmenting their market.

That's been the life of a Nintendo console for more than 10 years now, begging for ports. Because Nintendo just can't make games fast enough (obviously) and a console cannot survive on first party titles alone. Switch is already behind PS4 on sales, so forget about all that talk of "Wii-level of success".

I think it's funny that many people, including myself, criticize Nintendo for not having voice chat and instead uses default prompts and stuff, and at the same time some people wish Overwatch was more like that. I understand the obvious benefits of how Overwatch does it, but I find it funny regardless. Anyway, I think that in any team based game with voice chat that has a big enough player base (which Overwatch definitely has), there should be a separate unranked mode where there is no voice chat, so that people who don't want to deal with it can play without a disadvantage

Hey Allies, To help the player not having fun in Overwatch because of the rude players, the only possible option I can come up with as far as muting players but still needing to communicate with your team, how about exchanging phone numbers and chat that way? That way, you can talk to your friends only. This is the only possible solution that I can think of. Ya know, the Nintendo way lmao. Just a little joke there. But still, hope this helps a little. Be EZ, LaVar Green

its always funny to me when console guys call the dark souls PC port terrible, even though its actually IDENTICAL to the console version. sure its missing most of the PC exclusive features we all expect, but it was literally just the xbox version dumped onto steam. not worse than the console version, literally identical.

Throwing matches is toxic but being a bad player isn't? You're wasting other people's time. Some of these people only have a few hours of their day they can spend playing, of course they're gonna be miffed. Overwatch needs some sort of ranking system to help mitigate that though I doubt that can ever be completely fixed. Morons have always been hated in all aspects of life. Also, expecting people to know at least the basics of a dungeon isn't bad behavior. That's like saying expecting someone who applies for a job to know the basics is a problem. That's just a dumb fucking comment. You want games to be taken seriously by non-gamers yet balk at the idea of people taking it seriously?

On the matter of Xbox one X, a lot of people I know just buy Xbox games on PC I read a statistic saying that 50% of steam users also have Windows games now. Personally it removed all of my desire to get one....I will just get a better PC soon. That is coming from someone who has owned every relevant platform in the generations I have been a part of till now (PS1 forward basically yup had a Saturn).... It definitely has SOME sort of effect, dunno if it is bad though. They get a cut on the MIcrosoft store and they have a pretty large American install base that still wants those quazi exclusives with the convenience of a console

i was never going to buy an xbox one. but now that all their games are coming to pc. i will def buy the games. i bought forza horizon 3 and am looking forward to forza motorsport 7 and sea of thieves. all these games i would have normally passed them and just accepted that i wouldn't get to play them. i would not make the jump to buying a $500 console just to play a few games. the xbox one x is more powerful than my pc but I would rather buy a $500 graphics card to play every game i have run better than buying the xbonex just to play a few. now when i saw every game on the microsoft press conference this year, i was genuinely excited to be playing those games sometime in the future knowing they would come to pc.

Playing OW personally, never had the issue with toxic players because I don't touch competitive, (mainly due to my garbage internet connection). I know that competitive has a lot of issues with this kind of stuff, people throwing games and generally being dicks to other people. Blizzard have been improving their report tools, but I think the big issue is just the fact that it's the internet... there is a disconnect for some when not faced with somebody in person and certain individuals think it's okay to just be assholes. Is it worth trying to reduce the toxicity levels? absolutely, but I think people need to learn to shrug it off too, it's a problem that isn't going to go away and any method that could make it go away would be highly restrictive to those who aren't being a nuisance to begin with.
