@M T My issue is input lag Theres almost no game that I play where 50-100ms (in ideal conditions) would be playable. That would be nauseating At 50-100ms that would be assuming perfectly fluid video with unlimited bandwidth, so realistically it would be closer to 150ms and that's where its noticeable for everyone
I'm afraid as hell for the KOTOR sequel; it is something that I waited for so long, BUT it is so dark and different from the movies that I am afraid that Lucasfilm will destroy its core to make it fit to their "grey jedi" bs.
no high hopes from me, bioware is dead so it wont be an rpg, best case its some "action rpg" garbage... would be nice if i am wrong but we will see when its released, not "waiting" for it though
I really hope Stadia, or any future gaming related things from google, forever fail. Would you really want google to step into the gaming world that way, knowing the end goal is to try and monopolize it?
theres Doomiablo, which you play the doom guy in diablo 2, and then theres diablo 3D where you play the heroes in a first person shooter version of the game.
I like the green screen changing during the stories. That is a great addition to the editing. I hope they use the Doom music in Doomiablo! I AM SO excited for this mod!!!
Downloading it right now! Diablo2 was my favorite single player game ever and Grim Dawn was the successor Diablo3 should have been! To have D2 combined with Grim Dawn is just such an amazing idea! Can't wait to try it out!
8:00 U just forgot to say that the patch also created a bunch of new bugs and that one of the major points of the patch, that should fix a bug with the RNG part of spawning Conquerors, doesn't seem to be really fixed, or there is still some bug in the system... ¬¬
Ofc there will be bugs, if you can fix it all in one patch i Think ggg would be more Than Happy to hand you a job.. Btw you get new content on a 3 months schedule, to even Think that there wont be bumps on the Road is Straight up dumb.
I think loot boxes can work, as in game earnable bonuses. Vermintide 2 essentially uses loot boxes awarded for completing a level. They should also have a set way of targeting things you actually want as the RnG can be extremely punishing, but they have no way whatsoever to purchase a loot box outside of earning it via level completion or challenge completion. A "Surprise Mechanic" can be quite fun when it costs no money and you earned it whilst playing normally :)
@rhykker Turtle Rock is working on something like a new L4D game called "Back 4 Blood". VALVe and TRS have history so since VALVe gave up on the genre maybe they passed the torch back to TRS. Both games use the "4" in the title so this may be a L4D3 replacement.
Iv played it through at least 10 times xD Even started a new play through just a couple of weeks ago. Still plays well even with its age IMO. Also I like the dungeons and dragons style combat. I imagine the combat style will be lost in the new game but oh well still can not wait.
If the argument for or against something amounts to "it's for the children", then it should be looked at with heavy scrutiny. If you have to appeal to people's emotions rather than good reasoning and sound logic, then it points to your argument having ulterior motives. There's a much simpler way of solving this problem of children being exposed to such things, which is for parents to take responsibility for what their kids are doing. Children don't *need* to have a mobile device, and even if they have one, their parents should be paying attention to everything they are using it for and putting rules and limitations on the device's usage.
Couldn't agree more. The "Think of the Children!" Argument has got to be one of the weakest. I'm not in favor of kids getting lootboxes, but last time i checked kids can't get credit cards to buy them, so maybe mom and dad should keep an eye on their credit cards/kids.
It's not "but think of the children!", it's "children should not have access to this thing." Do you also disagree that pill bottles should have difficult to open lids to prevent children from getting into them and dying because they're not able to realize the problems with eating them? Parents should simply monitor everything their child does in their life, so they should be no conceivable scenario in which a child should have access to a pill bottle to begin with, right? Neither of these positions are remotely realistic or reasonable.
@@heyimanameheyimalastname Again, children don't *need* to have a mobile device. Even in the case of the medication, if the parents responsibly handle the medication and teach their children about it, there should be no issues. Sure, there will always be those outlier cases where something happens anyways, but the "if it saves just one life" argument is just as bad. What it all boils down to is people not wanting to take personal responsibility, so when something goes wrong they shift the blame to anyone else remotely related to the situation. By encouraging government restrictions and regulations instead of personal liability, you become an enabler of people's bad behavior. The more the government becomes our nanny, the more lax we become in areas the government isn't the nanny, and so the government becomes more restrictive to compensate. You are essentially dumbing people down at that point. It's simple human nature.
Hello Rhykker, love the way you presented Doomiablo with a lot of information! May I ask you to speak in some announcement texts for the Doomiablo release trailer? Just kidding, it just suited perfectly! Thank you!
I don't know if I should feel ashamed, but sometimes I'll smoke a joint and just laugh my ass off for no reason, just sitting there to myself doing my best parody of "Rhykerrrrrrrrrrrr..." for 10 minutes.
The original team that developed the original left 4 dead, Turtle Rock Studios, are making back 4 blood which is essentially a left 4 dead spiritual successor. Hopefully we get some more news about it soon!
but what about Diablo's tweet im guessing this video was probs done before the tweet but thought you might edit it in i think the tweet is just cuz of D1 in D3 but idk why they had a secrete code also
Hey Mega Joe! You're right that the video was already done, but I saw the tweet and thought they were just playing with a Twitter meme. Is that not the case?
@@Rhykker idk i dont have a Twitter so i can't see the comments but my friends were saying is was a hint to something but i think they are making away bigger deal about it then they should
@Almighty Coon you clearly didnt look at the website linked below description, its not glare, or boom or stuff like that, its actually Artifical inteligence doing the work and increasing the sharpness, resolution of the image, go check it out, its way better in terms of quality, and the smoothness of the walking is atleast on my 120hz monitor, so insanely smooth its allmost creepy/weird cose what we used to
Doomguy and the Barbarian glare intently at one another for several seconds, then their hands come together in a high five so powerful it kicks up dust
Hahaha Rhykker, this is the first time you really made me laugh so hard! I grew up with DOOM and DOOM II and this original series holds a special place in my heart forever. Hearing you make sounds of combat in mephisto's room cracked me up! :)
Median XL or MXL is a very well designed total conversion mod, it is MUST try atlewst once, its end-game is very well done, yet, is still worth atleast a baseline playthrough.
Wow genuine thank you for reminding about median! I found it back when it was median 2008 before it went to xl, I assumed it stopped getting updates! I redownloaded it and remember why I never went back to retail d2.
Hey Rhykker, you need to check out Path of Diablo. The new ladder season just started with huge updates to the mod. It's the best d2 mod available that doesn't change huge amounts of the base game.
Oh wow "Paying for access to a store" I wasnt dumb enough to pay for a subpar experience before but when Rhykker defines the service like that ( and he is right) I defiantly never will.
Stadia and server side systems in general could be awesome to do things traditional systems can’t. But as a direct competitor to those systems it doesn’t work.
I feel that game streaming services are the debit/credit cards of gaming. You no longer get a tangible or digital copy of a game (physical money) - you just get a box (credit card) that says you own the games - but you don't actually possess anything and if you don't have an internet connection (card scanner/atm) then you cannot use your games (money) even though you allegedly "own them and possess them". Or consider it a version of Uber, where the company still provides rides to people but at minimal cost to the company and all of the maintenance costs etc are pushed to the end user. What you save in PC cost will be spent in the long term by having to pay for a higher tier internet package to compensate.
Honestly, "hi-res" is misleading; I went to the site to see the full effect and for most objects it really just looks like they turned on anti aliasing and added a sharpening filter. For effects such as the fire it's worse, in that it smooths and sharpens everything so much that it looks almost cartoony, which is the worst word someone can use when it comes to the hardcore D2 fans that this may appeal to.
Rhykker you gotta try DevilutionX Diablo 1 portable on an emulator console, I'm playing it on the RG350 console and it's oh so perfect. Analog stick controls work great.
I was trying to project the diablo 1 textures into 3d models, so far is looking good. diablo 3d, but needs to be redone from scratch, lot of work but I may do it :]
Stadia was available in November, many see it's release to be in February with the Base version. Stadia is basically free. Stadia is incredibly good at what it is designed to do, that is to play anywhere. One game price to play on all devices. If I'm not mistaken, Stadia has had the biggest catalogue of any platform release? I read this headline somewhere, not confident in proof. Stadia is also first generation, that is forever a generation. Unlike generic consoles that have a life of only a few+ years. Again, all for free. To play online multiplayer, for free, on any device. It has problems yes, but it does everything perfectly that it advertised, 4k aside.
In theory it's a decent idea (Stadia) but for it to really be popular, it has to be cheaper. 130 for 3 months? Mate add that up for 20 years. I bet that it's more than I've spent overall on my PC, with games and even keyboards and mice.
Remember sega channel? Where you just plug a cable modem into your genesis and pay a monthly fee and got like 50 games you could play which would change per month. good times
Don't feel bad that d3 didn't have the proposed idol/charm system, it would have literally been the same as the current legendary gem system. In witch the same 3-5 gems/idols/charms are BiS required for end game grifting. Blizz put them on necks/rings instead of its own slots.
Sounds like the same work around used by Pachinko Parlours in Japan.. literal gambling but you can't cash out; instead you just get different toys and various colored tags. Which you then take literally 30 seconds across the street to a different establishment that converts them to the corresponding cash value..
None of the people responsible for the original KotaoR are there anymore. Therefore i would not want the company responsible for the last 2 battlefronts in charge of it
I don't understand why customers are moving towards subscriptions; Ownership is better than access. The more you participate in these scams, the more power you give to the companies. Anyone who studies and understands business knows subscriptions are the ultimate scam.
I think the lootbox thing is much more about protecting the quality of the video game market than it is about protecting children. These companies have utterly destroyed AAA games and their attempts to suck insane amounts of money out of consumers without providing any real compensation is disgusting.
Google Stadia with it's own little Reverse Midas spearheading it's glorious ascendance needs *MORE EXCLUSIVES?* Rhykker, are you out of your mind? You *do* understand Google can buy *any* -- and I mean _literally any_ number of game developer companies? How about D3 and D4, PoE, Wolcen and Last Epoch all becoming Google Stadia exclusives? Google can arrange that for you in just 2-3 months. Epic Gamestore's bold monopoly scam attempt didn't succeed only because Epic has a somewhat limited amount of money. Google has no such problem. And even Epic has driven the industry into a position from which quite a lot of companies involved will never recover and potentially good projects will be lost. Imagine the havoc Google can wreak on the industry with their resources. And if Google pulls the plug on it's Stadia, you can kiss goodbye to your games, investments and progress there, unless you back it up with Steam. Wake up, Rhykker, please.
What's going wrong with Google Stadia?
Answer: It exists.
I can't believe they want you to use a Chromecast for it. My Chromecast can barely stream Crossy Road off my phone without lag.
"What's going wrong with Google Stadia?"
Everything.
@M T
My issue is input lag
Theres almost no game that I play where 50-100ms (in ideal conditions) would be playable. That would be nauseating
At 50-100ms that would be assuming perfectly fluid video with unlimited bandwidth, so realistically it would be closer to 150ms and that's where its noticeable for everyone
@@dustinjames1268 Lmao, more than 16ms is unplayable. 32ms input lag monitors are fucking terrible.
I'm afraid as hell for the KOTOR sequel; it is something that I waited for so long, BUT it is so dark and different from the movies that I am afraid that Lucasfilm will destroy its core to make it fit to their "grey jedi" bs.
"their"? Hey, bioware had Bindo's ass. And, I'm pretty sure it was a concept originated somewhere back before the dark days, before The Mouse-pire.
no high hopes from me, bioware is dead so it wont be an rpg, best case its some "action rpg" garbage... would be nice if i am wrong but we will see when its released, not "waiting" for it though
@@bellick4 let's hope Obsidian makes it. They made kotor 2, which is way better than the first one.
Agreed bioware is dead. If it comes back it will not be the same.
KOTOR sequel.
Starting screen: Would you like to import save files?
Yes/No/Buy "KotOR" and "KotOR 2: The Sith Lords" on sale.
I was just thinking about a possible sequel and here it comes 😮 Better be good!
@@ElvenMans yeah and that means everything far away from sequels bullcrap.
Love the doom guy weapon sound effects!
That's exactly how I make my weapon sound effects when pit my action figures against each other.

Hey Rhykker, have you seen a "new" conversion of D2 into Grim Dawn (mod name Reign of terror)? Its awesome.
I downloadd it immediately after. I love the GD mechanics that they kept

going to play devils advocate and say a toy vending machine is the same thing as a "loot box". Why are we now trying to call it gambling?
I feel that game streaming services are the debit/credit cards of gaming. You no longer get a tangible or digital copy of a game (physical money) - you just get a box (credit card) that says you own the games - but you don't actually possess anything and if you don't have an internet connection (card scanner/atm) then you cannot use your games (money) even though you allegedly "own them and possess them". Or consider it a version of Uber, where the company still provides rides to people but at minimal cost to the company and all of the maintenance costs etc are pushed to the end user. What you save in PC cost will be spent in the long term by having to pay for a higher tier internet package to compensate.
Honestly, "hi-res" is misleading; I went to the site to see the full effect and for most objects it really just looks like they turned on anti aliasing and added a sharpening filter.
