Steak is shit, there's nothing appealing about a chewy tasteless slab of meat unless you're primal of course
You've never had a decent steak in your life, it really shows.
Dude I've eaten steak at one of the most expensive steak houses in London and it was meh
And how did you order it?
Well done I think he said is how he eats steak [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
why would you eat steak any other way
are you retarded
no, because i realize that you have to cook raw food before you eat it
so yes
you know what's appetizing

a thick slab of what looks like your mother's vagina on her period

mmmmmmmmmmmm
Medium rare is ideal and it's nothing like that
medium rare is for disgusting degenerates and my description was spot-on
No it's for people who understand how meat is supposed to be cooked, and are aware of what good flavour is.
so not you
My sentiment is echoed by the #1 authority on grilling steaks
YouTube

this is absolutely the most senseless and boring thing to be elitist about, but we all have to find something i guess

Honestly, as long as your not using magic I have no issue with how you play.
do utility spells/pyromancies count

power within, cast light, aural decoy, etc.
Nah. People just tend to dislike the offensive magic builds because they make the game easy mode. Not only do you do massive damage pretty quickly, but you also don't really need to mind many of the fundamental / challenging aspects of the game. Using spells does not consume stamina so you don't have to worry about managing that while attacking and blocking/dodging. Catalysts and talismans cannot be upgraded so that eliminates the need of getting titanite, making decisions about the upgrade path you're going to take or spending souls on improving your weaponry (which frees up a lot of resources that can go to leveling up or improving your shield/armor instead). There's only attack for each of them (R1) which completely eliminates learning new playstyles, trying out new weapons with different movesets to find out what works and doesn't work for you, and having to use different attacks on different enemies or in response to different moves by bosses. Spells are solid and effective against all bosses, even those with higher resistance to it like Seath and Butterly. Just about every enemy (and especially boss) in the game is most dangerous at close distance, making it so that staying back and slinging some spells their way is a very easy of beating them without really having to learn their moveset, anticipate and react accordingly (and fast), and manage your stamina and timing while up close to them.

Some of the stronger spells in the game (crystal spear, crystal soulmass, pursuers and dark bead) can easily do between 1000 - 2000 damage. Know that Gwyn, the final boss of the game, only has a little over 4000 hitpoints and you might get an idea of how how quickly and easily you can breeze through many of the fights in the game. And yeah, It's true that melee weapons can also do enormous damage. But they're slower, put you in more danger right next to the enemy, require much more specific (glass cannon) builds and are much more difficult to play since they'll essentially require you to be naked at sub 25% health with power within ticking down the seconds and whatnot.

Everyone should obviously play the way they want, but that doesn't change that there are certain playstyles that make the game a lot easier because they allow you to ignore several of its aspects and don't require you to come to grips with many of the more challenging and intricate mechanics. So when you can dish out more damage than the heaviest great axe from relative safety at the other side of the room without ever having to worry about weapon upgrades, stamina management or even learning how to dodge and find openings in the opponent's moveset most of the time, then it's easy to see why many consider it easy mode and feels like it kind of cheapens the experience (especially when on your first playthrough).

I told you many times (along with others) that you could literally just unplug your Ethernet cable when you played it.
this never once happened
Lie all you want, it doesn't change a thing.
even if you did, there was the mixed messages of "you're not getting the full experience if you do that though"

so you're the liar, because the true experience is playing offline
No it isn't that's half the experience

Not true. I specifically remember you saying you quit because there's a message from the developers right before the part where the boulder smashes you on that staircase, right after talking to that knight who dies. About how it's bullshit and the game tricks you and so on.
yeah because reading dopey little messages from 12 year olds who think they're funny for posting 7 year old memes totally doesn't break the immersion at all

even if people aren't trying to deceive you, do you think i appreciate being spoiled how to beat certain bosses or where illusory walls are? because i don't, i like to figure shit out on my own, so the messages add absolutely nothing to my experience

so the entire MP experience is just nothing but frustration, spoilers, and cancer

wow, not exactly my idea of a good time

if someone had just told me "you can just play offline and avoid all that retarded shit," things would've been different

nobody did that though, even though it solved almost all of my problems with the game instantly
Wow dude I really don't care. I told you many times (along with others) that you could literally just unplug your Ethernet cable when you played it. You were vehement in saying if you can't get the full experience then you refuse to play. At the end of the day you did what we said and realized you were being an idiot.

"FF13 is a good game, you just have to get 20 hours in to start having fun"

ff13 wasn't even really that bad tbh. i personally think it was at it's worst when it opened up and became semi-open world
I was just quoting the meme since Chally's statement was reminiscent of it.

"FF13 is a good game, you just have to get 20 hours in to start having fun"
Never said that dumbass. I said you can't judge whether or not a game has depth when you've barely played it and you aren't that good at it yet and you don't understand all the mechanics fully.

barely played it
You've played like 50 hours tops, you haven't delved into the game all that much.

"you have to play ff13 for 20 hours before you really get it"
Fuck you're an idiot. Fedorekd never said the game isn't fun, he said he doesn't think it's all that tactical of a shooter or that it's a complicated game with a learning curve. I responded with the fact that he hasn't played enough to be able to play the game tactically. Until you understand the map, where the best loot is etc. you CAN'T play it all that tactically. You're running around blind and just being corralled into the shrinking circle. But when you have about 100 hours and you know the map like the back of your hand, the game becomes a lot more complex, you stand a much better chance at winning or at least placing in top 10.

Don't insert yourself into the conversation to make a Reddit joke and try to mock me when you have no fucking clue what I'm talking about.

Also I never said you NEED to play the game online, I said you should to fully experience the game. You, being the hardline radical al qaeda member that you are, refused to play the game offline if you can't get the full experience. That's not my fault, it's you who's always in your way.

Sorry, but you do. You need to win several times and put in at least a few hundred hours before you fully learn the game, the map, and actually get comfortable with it. You've played like 50 hours tops, you haven't delved into the game all that much.
LMAO
It was like you saying Dark Souls sucks because you got stuck in the tutorial. Eventually you played it again and realized your folly😉
that happened
It literally did. You claimed it was a horrible game until everybody told you to play it and now you agree it's a good game.
If you couldn't play Dark Souls offline, it would be a 2/10 game and that's being nice.
Exactly say some bullshit about your hardline views on life because you know I'm right about everything I just said.
but you're not even close

Had I been told from the start that you don't have to play online to enjoy the full extent of the game, I wouldn't have been such a salty bitch about it, but everyone and their mother (including you) kept telling me that I NEED to play online to get the full experience.

Which ended up being BS, so thanks.

Didn't realise the original H1Z1 had a name change to Just Survive. But still, one other BR thing isn't much competition. H1Z1 and the BR genre in general weren't really on anyone's radar prior to PUBG.
You're judging this from what information? Both of those were big.

Quote
You missed the point. The popular battle royale mod was PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds before it became a standalone. So fans of the mod flocked to the standalone, as they would. The point was that PUBG already had a following when it was in mod form, rather than just having a sudden surge in popularity.
It had a huge surge in popularity. ARMA 3 Battle Royale and H1Z1 were big, but nowhere near as successful as PUBG.

Quote
Like what? Play other Steam early access survival garbage and you'll find plenty of PUBG-like mechanics.
Such as?

I'm referring to realistic ballistics etc. What are you talking about?

Quote
You don't need to win a game to know if it has depth or not. Without turning this into a dickwaving contest, I've played more than enough of the game to know how it works. It's no deeper than any other large scale shooter around right now.
Sorry, but you do. You need to win several times and put in at least a few hundred hours before you fully learn the game, the map, and actually get comfortable with it. You've played like 50 hours tops, you haven't delved into the game all that much.

It's not a dick waving contest, but I'm not gonna let you call the game shallow when you've barely played it or tried to play in a competitive way.

Quote
Because the Halo games also had enough content at launch, that the extra maps were just that - extras.
$15 extras? What? PUBG has two huge maps for free. For it's genre and the sheer size and detail of the maps it's like all the DLC Halo 3 maps for free.

Quote
It's also worth mentioning that the overall model for games is a lot different to how it was back in 2007 - for better or worse, they now follow a SaaS model, which is why the point about regular content updates is more relevant to games like Destiny 2 and PUBG's survival than to Halo 3, where things were only just starting to shift towards it.
What does that have to do with content? You don't need new shit every week to enjoy a solid game. It's just good on its own.

Quote
You can literally reduce any game when you use language like that.

PUBG is just running around and shoot in someone's direction until they die.
You can't, though. You need to range and account for bullet drop, placing bullets on the torso and chest make a difference etc.

Fortnite on the other hand doesn't even have ADS on some guns and is very cartoonish, it's also still only 3rd person which promotes camping and cheap kills.

Quote
It released in late March. The period between that and September didn't really have many big or notable releases. Had PUBG launched in Early Access in the winter period where Battlefront, CoD and Destiny 2 were coming out you'd have a point.
I was also talking about games that were out at the time.

Quote
This is an argument I thought was reserved for Bethesda games.
If it was broken I wouldn't be able to play it everyday with little to no issues. With other people.

Quote
Lag has improved since early access but that's about it. It's still horribly buggy. I've lost games because they decided to force me into getting stuck in some piece of geometry like a table just by walking close to it.
Actually lag got worse after launch, just recently it improved. You'd know that if you played it.

That hasn't happened to me since way back in early access. I haven't heard of other people complaining about that either.

Quote
Special? It's just another shooter that's competent at what it does. I have no reason to respect it anymore than I do Battlefield.
Never played anything other than the Bad Company 2 campaign so I'm not going to diss it, but I think PUBG is a more tactical game.

Quote
Because it's not relevant to the topic and is more likely driving away discussion.
This is a practically dead forum fucking lol what discussion could we possibly be driving away. Even if it was full of people, who cares? We're having a discussion. We're not spamming gore.

Just saying the popular=good seems to be the thing you push when people talk about the game negatively.

im not a fan of pubg all that much but it's a good game regardless. surely not "dumb" or "shallow". its like i said to you months ago, just because you like destiny 2 doesnt make it a good game. on the flipside, just because you dislike pubg doesnt make it a bad game.
I never said I disliked PUBG, or that it was bad. I said multiple times it was competent, in fact.

Also I think Destiny 2 is a good game. You don't. There's no problem lmao.

you didnt have to say it, its pretty obvious
Except I like PUBG? It think it's alright? My argument was about Chally's claim to Onion that PUBG is "the biggest game ever" and so he should buy it.
That was a joke you autist lmao

Nah you can't pretend you knew I was joking like in the Star Wars thread because we just had a multi quote discussion about it. It is the biggest game ever. No singular CoD has had the same dedicated fan base for one game. You can make all the lame comparisons you want but at the end of the day it's obvious you dislike the game and probably even want to see it fail.

and the original BR is a mod.
I just said it was a mod.

Quote
When people saw that this popular mod was getting a standlone, they naturally flocked to it, and those that avoided the mod because they didn't want to have to get ARMA 3 for it also flocked to it because the game was now accessible. So it's not like PUBG is some brand-new out-of-the-blue game, it already had a following as a popular mod before it became a standalone.
That was my point, battle royale was already popular at the time. I literally just said that in my previous point. You were arguing it became popular because it was the only battle royale game available at the time, and that's completely wrong.

Quote
See above.
See above.

What? They're both dumb shooters with simple gameplay models that worked well which is why both of them attracted such large player bases, except CoD proved that it could hold onto its playerbase for several years whereas we haven't had time to see it with PUBG.
Not at all. While it isn't on the same level of ARMA's realism, it has a lot of mechanics that separate it from the average dumb shooter.

Whatever. We can debate it if you want but st this point we're just talking about GTA specifically.

Quote
haha
There's a lot of strategy involved and it has a huge learning curve if you want to win consistently. No offense but you haven't even won one game yet, how would you know if the game has depth or not when you barely play it or try to learn it?

Quote
That's not the case though. "good gameplay" can only get you so far. Look at Destiny 2 - probably some of the best console FPS gameplay on the market, but the lack of meaningful endgame content resulted in it losing players pretty rapidly after launch.
Destiny does not have good gameplay. It has solid gunplay (for its genre), but that's entirely different. It is, at the end of the day, a very basic and shallow experience with little to no challenge.

Quote
Gameplay is good for attracting players in the early stage, but if a developer can't keep up with the good content in the years after release it's going to lose steam. PUBG will suffer if it can't keep up the content,
Halo would just release overpriced map packs, yet maintained a steady and sizable population for years. The original trilogy, anyways.

Quote
especially when other BR games are coming along with more gameplay depth and variety.
LOL

Fortnite is literally just build shit like a raging autist and shoot in someone's direction until they die. You can't say PUBG has not depth and then point to shitty spinoffs like fortnite as what you consider to be depth. Now you're just being foolish.

Quote
lol what. You may like the game but people aren't unreasonable in disregarding it. It's a dumb fun shooter that released at a good time.
See my comments above. It's not dumb in the least and if you play dumb you'll never win, let alone make top 10. The timing of it could've been bad, actually. There were a ton of great games out and coming out which could've made PUBG fade away if the game wasn't solid enough.

Quote
And yet even after release it's broken and lacking in content.
Broken according to who? I play it every day, there's nothing broken about it. Lag is an issue that's present in every online game, it isn't a PUBG specific issue.

Quote
"A lot of love and hard work" goes into a lot of games, PUBG is nothing special.
PUBG is special. It's rare that a game gets your adrenaline pumping these days. And if it doesn't do it for you, then it doesn't. I'm not saying you have to like the game, but you should respect what it is.

Because the game has several powers on its side that earlier games did not have (as much of): Streamers, Early Access, and China. In the months after release it was also the only major battle royale game on the market (which isn't the case anymore), being basically uncontested when people realised they liked the idea of battle royale games.
H1Z1 and PlayerUnknown's Battle Royale on ARMA 3 were popular at the time it released.

There were plenty of streamers and Chinese playing that. Early Access is also not something that attracts more players, it anything I saw countless comments on various websites of people waiting to see if it'd ever come out of early access before buying it. In fact, you and others here that have bought it said the same thing. So that's a pretty weak argument.

Quote
In the first few months of release, CoD games were huge and remained the top-played games on console until the next one released, and then the cycle would continue. And even when a new game came out, the previous one would still maintain a decent population for another few months.
Nothing compared to PUBG, and it was only because they'd keep releasing a new game almost annually that they kept the population they had jumping from game to game. A well established and successful franchise vs a buggy game that has been in early access longer than it's been a full game. I think we can all agree PUBG obviously has something CoD doesn't which has attracted such a large player base.

Quote
Your point was that none of the games on the list had a similar amount of players to pubg this far into its life cycle, so I gave an example.
It's a shitty example because it proves my point dude. No "newcomer" game from some random company has had this type of success in such a short time in recent years.

Quote
Subjective on the "boring as fuck part". The "nothing to do" part is wrong. GTAO has plenty to do. If you spend all your time in free-roam instead of doing the actual activities and game modes of course you're going to run out of things to do. It had a shaky start but in its current state (scummy microtransactions aside) GTAO provides a fairly satisfying overall package and doesn't have to rely on free advertising from streamers to get its players.
Actually fuckingn around in free roam is more entertaining than the missions/activities. They were fun at first but the gameplay is so basic and easy it's just grinding to buy the latest free DLC.

And don't put the microtransactions aside, they objectively make the game an MMO tier borefest.

Quote
You've also got to consider that more battle royale games are coming out. If PUBG releases on PS4 it's going to have to compete with Fortnite which from what I've seen offers more in terms of content. At some point people are going to get bored of BR games and move onto whatever is the big fad of 2018.
I don't see this game as a fad, it has a lot of depth to it. When you have good gameplay, everything else just falls into play. The only thing I can see killing this game off fast is not dealing with the lag and crashing. They've solved a lot of the issues regarding lag and personally the game hasn't crashed for me in a while but I see other people are having issues.

I don't like that people just disregard this game as a fad and just shit streamers play to make money. A lot of love and hard work went into the game and it has really good gameplay. It's not just some flavor of the month game that's popular today and dead tomorrow. Tons of people said that and said it would never fully release, but here we are.

gta online hit its peak in December, and will turn 5 years old this year
GTA Online is boring as fuck with nothing to do after a while. They HAVE to keep releasing free content to keep people semi interested grinding for nonsensical shit, unlike PUBG which needs zero additional content to be ten times as fun.

pubg is still a new game, we have no idea how long its high player count will last. it might struggle considering its got fuck all content and its still an early access quality mess disguised as a released game.
It might, there are a lot of netcode issues, crashes, bugs etc. but I have faith that even though the developers are incompetent it's fun enough to keep a large player base for a while. But, who knows.

But they're not multiplayer games. Tetris is free and can be played by anybody anywhere on tons of devices.
