    TIAM: General Gaming edition

    Nothin but I just did a completely new build with help from Phoenix had some trouble booting initially because for some reason the MB didn't like having more than one stick of RAM in without doing a BIOS update. Problem was that up until that point neither of us could figure out what exactly was going wrong (and would have probably RMAd the MB or RAM if it wasn't for finding other people had the same problem). So just booted it, did the update, then stuck all the bits inside the case and shit was cash yo. Although I am having a weird problem with Steam where all my downloads go like this and keep fluctuating like that. Not like my internet is bad, usually I download at anywhere from 7MB/s to 10MB/s, and Battle.net and other shit works fine, just not this.

    OT but Street Fighter V Arcade Edition has been announced as a free update to Vanilla SFV coming in January. So I guess at least they are holding true to their promise of not doing paid updates like what happened with SFIV I can't say I have high hopes considering SFVs launch and what's happened with MvCI, but I really hope that some of SFVs problems do get fixed because I really want to enjoy the game. I suppose the biggest change from a gameplay perspective is the addition of new V-Triggers so that's what I'm looking forward to the most. SFIV had a lot of problems which were solved over the years, which resulted in a really solid and varied game with Ultra SFIV so I hope the same happens with SFV

    I get what you mean, but if I keep on saying "well I could do better if I just wait x more months" then I'll never actually get around to building a PC. I've been looking at building a new one for a couple of years and in that time I've gone from planning a build with an i5 6700k and an R9 280 to actually buying a PC with a GTX1080 and a Ryzen 5 1600, although that is also because my budget changed. I mean if I can run pretty much anything currently out at 1440p and 144hz I'm pretty happy with going for whatever is good now

    I am building a new PC after being stuck on a prebuilt I got years ago in which I only ever upgraded the GPU. It's very exciting
  9. Saw Blank Banshee live in London a couple of weeks back with Insectan. Performance was extremely fucking good, the venue itself was a bit shit organised (mostly the whole standing in the room while they played a random playlist of shit for 2 hours before Blank Banshee even came out) and a few people in the crowd were being cunts but overall it was really cool to be at the first show he played in the UK ever, which happened to be on the first date of his first ever world tour. Someone recorded a video of the entire thing which is nice and relatively good quality
  10. Hey guys, As some of you know we are at Insomnoa 61 right now. Unfortunately Benjamin Huff (aka Huff) has been kidnapped as he went into a no-go-zone in Birmingham. We are in the process of getting him back. In the mean time we here at the Subspuf admin team request that you DO NOT shitpost and DO NOT make fun of Ben.

    "Good game"

    If I type GG when I win it's because I feel for the people on the enemy team who lost because I know it it not fun to lose and I wish to show them some respect by being a good and honourable player If someone on the enemy team types GG when they win it's because they're a fucking cunt who's just trying to brag about how they won and they would never in a million fucking years type it if they lost. In all seriousness though I think in most cases GG doesn't really communicate anything. Obviously everyone knows what it means, but the fact that it became the standard thing to say has made it lose that meaning. If you take the view that all multiplayer games where someone CAN say 'gg' are about overcoming an obstacle (namely, the enemy players) then when someone says GG to you you don't think "Oh wow this other player said that was a good game, therefore my skills must have been at a level where I posed at least some challenge to them in order for them to have had an enjoyable experience". GG may stand for Good Game, but it doesn't really mean that anymore. I think this is a primarily British thing, but it's like when you see somebody and say "You alright?". You're not actually asking them if they're alright, you're just saying it. In games I don't think anyone (or at least the majority of players, myself included) actually mean it when they say GG, I think it's just a habit. If it were up to me then I think in most cases you shouldn't even have the opportunity to say it, because I don't think two teams should be able to communicate with each other. All-chat in games is for the most part simply used for shit talking, and if these companies like Riot, Valve and Blizzard are as intent on fostering a 'nice' community as they like to make out (as shown through them handing out mutes/bans for shit talking) then I have to genuinely wonder why they even have it as a feature in their games because it seems to only serve to make the situation worse. I think the only situation where I can think of all-chat serving an actual purpose is in Dota when you pause a game and then explain your reasons for doing so to the enemy team so they don't unpause (which in my experience they always do anyway). But honestly I think that that's just a remnant of the fact that Dota evolved from a WC3 mod, and Valve were (understandably) unwilling to change major features about the game at that point in development due to them being pretty key to preserving the feel of the original mod. I've never liked all-chat in games. If I for example lose a game of overwatch and a guy on my team gives me shit for how I play, then I care less because fuck it, at least that guy being a dick ate a loss too. Whereas if I play and someone on the other team gives me shit then that feels worse because if they're playing better than me I can't really argue anything back, because yeah, they are playing better.

    I've been searching for a mobile game that I really like for fucking ages now and finally gave Final Fantasy Brave Exvius a go. It's really fun, although I think that might be something to do with the fact that I pulled 5 really good (although not top tier) units from the get go.
  13. Idk much about DBZ but from reading her biography on the DBZ Wikia she seems like a not nice girl :(

    Inc Monthly Fighting Game rant :^) Chunfag coming through To say that's a fix is like saying "My car now runs properly, because I went from having no tyres to having severely worn out tires". She does look better than before, without a doubt but comparatively to her models in other games its frankly atrocious. Her SFIV model is from 2008 and looks better Her MVCIII model looks better and is from 2011 (definitely not her best model, but still far better than the MVCI one and considering MVC3 was a 3v3 game I suppose the models couldnt be as high res, since there would be more on screen at one time due to assists) Her SFXT model, while presumably just ripped from SFIV, is good and her SFV model is from 2016 and looks better too the MVCI model is STILL atrocious, and I honestly cant understand how people like Fillipinochamp can say "Oh she looks good now". And it's completely obvious what the problem is. It's the shape of her face. Look at this chart. Every other model she's had has had her with a diamond/heart shaped face, whereas in MVCI she has a square shaped face. It's ridiculous that this is how simple the problem is, it's like whoever made her model just didn't bother to look at any of her previous designs and just went ahead and did their own thing. And that's not even going into the fact that her costume just looks completely flat. If I had to pick one word to describe MVCI it would be "fine". The models are "fine" (cus characters are just functions amiright xD) you can tell which character is which. The UI is fine, you can tell how much meter you have and how much health you have. The roster is fine, there are multiple known characters from each franchises universe. Hell, I've not played it myself but from what I've heard the gameplay is actually good, so I guess maybe the game has that going for it. But honestly the promotion for the game has been crazy. You have people like FChamp, KBrad and JWong who (knowingly or not) are in Capcoms pocket and have an investment in the game being successful. Throughout the runup to the release NOBODY who had early copies gave any solid answers about what made the game good, every time one of them was asked on twitter what made the game so good, they would just respond with "Oh trust me, when you get your hands on it you'll know". Cheers for that you utter fucking cunt. You complete fucking shit scum fucking shill. Cheers for telling me to throw down my money and but the fucking game and THEN I'll know what's good about it. Cheers for not giving any solid fucking responses because you know that at the end of the day the only thing Marvel might have going for it is the gameplay, and once you say what's good about that you'll have nothing left to say about the rest of the game. It fucking saddens me so much, as I've made it (obnoxiously) clear in the past, I love SFIV. As a matter of fact I love the entire Street Fighter franchise. Despite my personal problems with SFV I'll concede that the game looks very polished, is at a base level satisfying to play (in so far as hitting a move feels fun, and impactful) and nowadays has a pretty decent roster. It has it's problems and despite the fact that if I ran the world everyone would play SFIV, I can admit that I see the appeal in it. But when I see MVCI I genuinely wonder if Capcom are just playing a game of "lets see how little effort we cant put into a game and still have it sell". They took the few things that SFV did well and just threw them out of the fucking window. THAT makes me sad. But there's shit that makes me actively angry. At the expense of sounding like I'm 'gatekeeping' or being elitest, it annoys me when I see fucking idiots who have obviously never played any fighting game before PAST the stage of button mashing, or playing casual matches against friends, praising MVCI. Their arguments are always the same. They're always "It has characters I like" (fine, thats acceptable), "It's just fun to play!" (great, in what way?), and the WORST praise to give any fighting game imo: "Combos are easy". The "Combos are easy" praise is without a doubt the BIGGEST fucking signal of someone who'll pick up the game, play it on an extremely casual level, and then throw it away. They want that immediate satisfaction of playing the game WITHOUT putting in the effort that a more complex fighter would require. Praising a game for having easy combos is a bad thing because it means that you simply can't have that gap between a low level player and a high level player that would inspire the worse player to get better. This is a comment I saw on a PC Gamer article about MVCI on Facebook. It royally fucks me off that people like this who obviously don't play the fucking genre are being catered to. They make arguments about how fighting games nowadays are just combo simulators which require 50-100 frame perfect executions in order to be able to play at all. It's obvious to anyone who has actually played a fighting game that this isn't true, but people like this would rather blow shit out of proportion and say the genre is at fault, than admit what is really the case. That they're shit at the game. And they always make the same "Oh back in the 90's it was simpler and SOOOO much better" argument, when in reality they mean "I played SFII once and now feel that my opinion is worth shit because that's the earliest game in the franchise, and therefore I am obviously an OG of the scene who knows what they're talking about". I'm sick of it. I'm sick of people defending Capcom in making a "fine" game when they've demonstrated perfectly well in the past that they're capable of so much more. Capcom are meant to be the leaders in the Fighting Game genre, and it's obvious that at this point that they're just coasting off their previous successes in Fighting Games, and just pumping out new Monster Hunter games for the big bucks. Fuck Capcom, and fuck people who try to defend their actions. MVCI is the culmination of all the shitty business practices Capcom have made since Street Fighter X Tekken and it makes me actively happy that Marvel has flopped so badly, that on it's release week it has been outsold by Pokken on the Switch, a game that has been out since 2015.

    What song are you listening to RIGHT now?

    I somehow got into looking at different genres of Metal Music last night (specifically Doom Metal and Black Metal both of which I've never really listened too) and I found these guys and they seem pretty cool I like this song.

    So Capcom are releasing yet ANOTHER version of SFII for the SNES Classic that's coming out. This is their disclaimer for it. The cartridge might legitimately set your console on fire...

    Shameless SFV shilling thread

    She looks cool, but her whole design seems a bit unoriginal to me. As much as I like the stereotypical Egyptian kinda thing, it seems a bit off that she looks so similar to Eliza from Skullgirls. The orb is cool but (while I've not played her at all) I get the feeling her playstyle will be about as varied as any other SFV character, which is to say not very varied at all. That being said she does look good, and if I was going to play SFV again for any reason it would be to try her. I still hold out some hope for SFV, there's obviously that rumor going around that Capcom are thinking of releasing a Super Street Fighter V which I think is honestly the best hope SFV has of being more widely accepted. I feel like the V-Trigger system just isn't complex enough to make the gameplay as interesting as IV's was with Focus Attacks. SFV is a fine game in most cases, it's a good looking game and a lot of the moves do feel fun to hit, but I just never managed to get the same satisfaction learning it as I did learning (and continuing to learn) USFIV and Tekken 7 and frankly the teleporting problems in online matches made all my wins feel cheap because I never knew if the person I was playing against just couldn't react to me, and all my losses against teleporting players were obviously just annoying.
