8 mins ago, by Brian

@Cerberus You mean like GameStick?

derp, missed that

I still want one of those.

Chippies

something like Ouya seems silly nowadays, considering you can use a ps4 controller with most android phones

Cerberus

Or a PS3 one.

Chippies

@Cerberus yes, that's what I meant to say

I don't even know if ps4 controller works, I assume it does tho

Cerberus

I read those were the best, a year or so ago. Of course that was before the PS4...

Brian

7:01 PM

@Cerberus It's not even recognizably Android, has it's own store, is controlled entirely via controller.

Cerberus

Oh haha.

Arperum

900 hero levels to go until 25k levels achievement.

Cerberus

@Brian Okay, well, the Google device has access to the Play Store, so that is one handicap less...

Brian

@Chippies and that my Android phone is more powerful than my Ouya

Chippies

@Brian that's the thing - at least you update your phone every few years, you're not gonna do that with ouya

Brian

7:03 PM

@Cerberus I actually don't see much point in it if it's just going to play normal Android games. Ouya has exclusives and features console games rather than just mobile games.

DwarfSlice

I wish the gamestick had done better.

I'm pretty sure it's going to die.

Blem

in 10min after ascended i got to level 215

James

@Chippies 360s work the best if you can connect em.

Chippies

@James how would you connect them though? through usb?

360s have proprietary wireless tech, afaik

Cerberus

@Brian Right, neither would I...if I wanted a device permanently connected to my screen, I'd probably find out what the best Android on a stick was and get that one. It might turn out to be the Google thing, but...

Chippies

7:08 PM

@Cerberus why not get a decent tablet? you can leave it attached to the screen and remove when you want to move it

seems like a win-win

Cerberus

Well, tablets are much more expensive.

Chippies

@Cerberus I don't know the prices, but would it be that much more expensive than a stick for same specs?

I mean, you are getting a screen with it, so it would be more expensive

Cerberus

I guess it depends on your household, but you may want to leave your tablet lying on your table and your stick connected to the screen at all times.

Brian

@Chippies Because then you're stuck playing mobile games, tablets don't offer console games.

DwarfSlice

wtf so the gamestick is £79.99 now instead of $80

when did that happen.

Chippies

7:10 PM

@Brian are you saying android sticks have exclusive "console" games?

Cerberus

@Chippies Tablets have screens, which are almost half the cost of the hardware, I believe; and tablets have far higher margins. So in the end you pay thrice what you would pay for the same SoC etc.

James

@Chippies USB is indeed how I connect em

DwarfSlice

amazon.com/GameStick-Console-Stick-Controller/dp/B00CNRELLM

Wow, they must really be struggling.

$29.95

=[

Poor gamestick

Chippies

@Cerberus makes sense

Cerberus

@Chippies Only a few, like Ouya. Normal Android sticks are just that, small computers running Android.

Chippies

7:11 PM

@Cerberus so, unless you get ouya (old hardware), you're still stuck with mobile games

Brian

@Chippies That's what we were discussing a few minutes ago. If the new Nexus console doesn't, there isn't really any point. Ouya does. I don't know about GameStick, but I would assume it does.

Cerberus

@Chippies Well, you can use emulators to play tons of Nintendo, Sega, etc. games on Android.

Chippies

I haven't gamed on android in years and I can't imagine gaming on it now on a TV

Brian

@Cerberus ...illegally

Cerberus

@Brian It depends.

Chippies

7:13 PM

@Cerberus that is a good idea, didn't think of that

James

It comes down to this, people do not want to play games on their TV that they play on their phone.

Cerberus

I think they might, if the games are fun.

DwarfSlice

The big draw for the OUYA for a lot of people is that it's an emulator with a controller they can hook up to their TV

Brian

@Cerberus True, technically it is legal if you already own the console and the game.

Unionhawk

A lot of those don't work too well though. Pokemon is okay, anything with any level of platforming doesn't work on a touch screen alone.

James

7:13 PM

That is why Ouya and GameStick etc are doing so crappily

Cerberus

@Brian It depends on what you own and on your jurisdiction. But frankly, do most people care?

Jason Berkan

@James I play XCOM everywhere.

Chippies

what about bluestacks?

Unionhawk

It's so hard to get a ROM outside of the internet

Brian

@Chippies What about it?

Cerberus

7:14 PM

@Unionhawk Not sure what you mean, but many people play Mario, Sonic, etc. just fine on touch screens? And you can use a controller with the emulator, of course.

Sterno

No Legend of Grimrock 2 questions yet. I am so disappointed.

Chippies

@Brian idk, you can play android stuff on PC with it

James

@JasonBerkan Gratz :)

Sterno

What does Free Weekend Weekend mean? I AM SO FONCUSED

Unionhawk

@Cerberus Those people are wizards. And I mean specifically phone-based emulators. Computer based, sure.

Brian

7:15 PM

@Chippies What I've been saying though is that I don't want to do that.

Chippies

a cheap home media pc with bluestacks would allow you to play android games, as well as other stuff

Unionhawk

@Sterno If you don't have it, you can play it this weekend, and it's also on sale if you like it.

(usually is on sale)

Chippies

and a cheap home media pc could be built for around 200$

Cerberus

@Unionhawk Not sure what you mean, but it's not hard to install an emulator, get a game, connect a bluetooth controller, configure the emulator, and start playing. Perhaps the initial set-up may take some time, but it's not that complicated?

Chippies

which is more expensive than an android device, but offers a lot more

Unionhawk

7:16 PM

WIZARDS I SAY

Cerberus

@Chippies Still a lot more expensive than an Android stick...

@Chippies That is true. So it depends on what you want.

@Unionhawk waves magic wand Careful, now...

Chippies

@Cerberus miles beyond the power of an android stick though, in the long run a better option, if you want more than just android games

Cerberus

Absolutely.

Chippies

I'd imagine an android stick would have to be updated at least once a year to keep up with the hardware

Cerberus

I doubt that, but still.

Chippies

7:18 PM

whereas a cheap pc could probably run android games for years and years from now

Cerberus

I am not sure how well a controller works with games in Bluestacks, though?

Perhaps it works well enough?

Chippies

@Cerberus I don't see why it wouldn't?

Cerberus

I don't know.

Brian

@Chippies You're still missing the point that I don't want to play mobile games on my TV when I can already play them on my phone.

Cerberus

Never used Bluestacks or read about using it to play games that require a low response time.

Sterno

7:19 PM

@Unionhawk Why does that require the word "weekend" twice?

Cerberus

@Brian So why not, and what do you want?

Unionhawk

6 hours ago, by Unionhawk

<- please refer to avatar for current state of @Uni

Brian

@Cerberus I can already play mobile games on my phone, and they're typically less enjoyable than "console" games.

Chippies

@Brian I'm not missing that point, I just don't think there's that many exclusives for you to even choose from

Brian

@Chippies Exclusives for what?

Unionhawk

7:21 PM

Not everything can be spun around into a positive thinking statement. Saying you don't want something doesn't require you have an alternative thing you want instead.

Chippies

@Brian "console" games or whatever you are referring. Games that are not available to regular android devices

Cerberus

@Brian Those aren't really different, you know. Final Fantasy exists for all platforms, for example.

Chippies

I haven't heard of any android "console" that had it's own game market like xbox and playstation does

DwarfSlice

The thing that really interested me about the gamestick was the form factor.

If I traveled more I'd probably have one already.

Chippies

there are android games optimized for controller use, that's probably as "console" as it can get

DwarfSlice

7:22 PM

@Chippies Gamestick has its own store.

Brian

@Cerberus I know, there are some non-mobile games you can play on mobile, like some of the Final Fantasy games, but those are more of an exception.

Cerberus

@Brian There are high-quality games for Android, though perhaps fewer than for the major consoles, and of course Windows has by far the most good games. So if that is what you're after, connecting a PC to your screen is your best option.

Chippies

@DwarfSlice but it's not popular

DwarfSlice

@Chippies you didn't say it had to be popular.

Chippies

if it's not popular, it's not gonna have a lot of games, it's not gonna have good games

Cerberus

7:23 PM

@Chippies I only know Ouya. It has exclusives.

Chippies

@DwarfSlice it was implied in the comparison to xbox and ps

DwarfSlice

The original Towerfall is an OUYA exclusive.

Chippies

@Cerberus I have not heard a single good thing about Ouya and last time I heard about it, I heard it was dead

Cerberus

Heh.

Chippies

tbh until this discussion, I firmly believed Ouya was long gone

Cerberus

7:24 PM

I know Ouya exists...

Brian

@Cerberus Non-mobile games are generally a much higher quality than mobile games.

Cerberus

But that is about it.

Brian

There are exceptions, and remakes, but still.

Cerberus

@Brian Depends on how you count. But so what?

Chippies

@Brian unless there's a really popular console, no one is going to make games for it exclusively

Batophobia

7:24 PM

@Brian This is mainly because mobile is easier to develop for, therefore more garbage to pollute the store

Chippies

if it runs on android, it runs on android

Cerberus

@Batophobia Also because it has a huge user base.

Brian

@Chippies There are exclusives for most consoles

even Ouya

Mad Scientist

@Chippies but doesn't necessarily have controller support

Cerberus

@Chippies Not entirely true for high-end games...

DwarfSlice

7:25 PM

tbh I don't think android consoles have exclusives is a good idea at all.

Brian

@Chippies Not true at all. (PS, I'm a mobile developer)

DwarfSlice

Ideally there would be a shared market of games, and you could use any android console to access it.

Chippies

Okay, I'm gonna leave this conversation, because I don't have enough android knowledge

Cerberus

@DwarfSlice Exclusivity is always bad, for anything.

Batophobia

@DwarfSlice Half-life 3: Steambox exclusive

Chippies

7:26 PM

@Brian if the hardware is the same, it should run

Cerberus

Yes. But it rarely is...

Unionhawk

@Chippies But the hardware is not the same.

Brian

@Chippies Ouya not only has it's own hardware, but runs its own operating system. Android isn't just one OS, it comes in many different flavors.

Unionhawk

Ever

And the software is also never quite the same

Chippies

@Brian is Ouya doing well?

do you know ANYONE who owns Ouya and loves it?

Cerberus

7:27 PM

@Unionhawk I assure you, my Galaxy Nexus has the exact same hardware as my other Galaxy Nexus!

Brian

@Chippies Nope. Even mine isn't, it lost its HDMI slot in my TV to the Wii U

Chippies

@Brian and that's the problem

Brian

@Chippies A problem, yes, but off topic

Chippies

until there's an android console that can compete with the "big boys", there won't be "console" game market on android

and by compete I mean, stand out from the other android crap

Rapitor

@Chippies pretty much only backers got it, and kids got it from confused parents

Chippies

7:29 PM

right now there's a ton of mediocre junk

if every junk had it's own exclusives, you'd have to have every junk console to play them

Batophobia

@Chippies This is true for all systems

Brian

@Chippies Ouya is like the Desura of consoles, except that it costs $100 up-front

Chippies

@Batophobia but at least for the "big" console there's 3 major companies that make them - sony, microsoft and nintendo

for android? I doubt there's even a list that can fit all the "consoles"

Unionhawk

Is it a problem though? At the end of the day? I don't see much of a point in an android console, personally. An android-related multimedia box that happened to play games, sure, I could go for that. But... I don't know.

Rapitor

@Batophobia hardly, the "big boys" all have competent libraries and developers backing them. android consoles have diddly

Chippies

7:31 PM

I don't see why games can't be optimized for controllers and still run on vanilla android

Batophobia

Meh, everyone knows the real winner is the printer that plays doom

2

Brian

@Unionhawk In Ouya's case, it only runs on Android for ease-of-access. Android gave the creators something to start with, and made it easier for game developers to make games for it. You could easily take Android out of the equation for this discussion.

DwarfSlice

@Brian lol

Desura is dead as far as I'm concerned.

Brian

@DwarfSlice Why is that?

DwarfSlice

It's just gone to shit.

The customer/dev service is nonexistent.

The client is buggy garbage

I was hoping Linden Lab might do something with it, but nothing has improved.

Brian

7:35 PM

Ah, I generally just use it to get Steam keys for greenlit games that I got from bundles.

@Chippies They can if you develop them that way.

DwarfSlice

The best thing about Desura is the presentation of their store pages.

My favourite of all the game stores.

But everything else about Desura is pretty balls

Chippies

@Brian it was a rhetorical question. What I mean is, I don't think there's a need for an android console and so far, none of them have been any good anyway

Arperum

You know a gamestore fucked up if @DwarfSlice doesn't like it anymore.

Chippies

if it runs on vanilla android, anyone with an android device with sufficient hardware could run it, even if they can't play it without a controller

Brian

@Chippies Ouya would be good if it had better hardware and more games.

Rapitor

7:38 PM

@Brian hardware is irrelevant.

Chippies

@Brian considering the rate at which android device hardware is progressing, an android console wouldn't last long

it's like the whole ps4/xbone vs PC thing again

Fluttershy

Bridge! I have to wear glasses again!

Brian

@Rapitor It's biggest flaw is how slow it is, how is hardware irrelevant. I was responding to "none of them have been any good anyway".

Chippies

back in the day, consoles used to have the newest tech, now the "next gen" is few years behind the current gen tech

Rapitor

I'm not exactly the one for cute things.... but this kid is pretty darn cute

Arperum

@JasonBerkan All I had to do was level up heroes a couple times.

Jason Berkan

@Arperum That would be true, given that 23 minutes is a short time. How many Hero Souls do you have?

DwarfSlice

I must be playing this game wrong.

I have 2 hero souls and I will get 2 for ascending.

Batophobia

@DwarfSlice That's it?

DwarfSlice

7:52 PM

Yeah.

Arperum

@JasonBerkan I have 340 stored. And I have +297% dps/gold when idle.

DwarfSlice

And this is like my fourth or fifth ascension.

SaintWacko

@DwarfSlice What level are you at?

DwarfSlice

@SaintWacko 108 now, but I ascended again yesterday or the day before.

Batophobia

I've got 22 after 4 ascensions

Arperum

7:52 PM

@DwarfSlice Level up completely worthless heroes for extra levels before you ascend, every total 2k hero levels nets you another soul.

DwarfSlice

I spent a bunch.

Jason Berkan

@DwarfSlice Are you spending the Hero Souls you get?

DwarfSlice

@JasonBerkan Yes. Should I not be?

SaintWacko

@DwarfSlice Ah, you're ascending too early

DwarfSlice

@SaintWacko My highest zone is 140

SaintWacko

7:53 PM

My first ascension was at 150

Arperum

@DwarfSlice Save them up for now. They give some serious damage bonus.

Jason Berkan

@DwarfSlice Early on, I think they provide more bonus when left as DPS than powering ancients.

DwarfSlice

This game sucks

Jason Berkan

I have 35 from two ascensions.

SaintWacko

@DwarfSlice I'd save up until you get to 45

Then level up Vaagur

Jason Berkan

7:54 PM

I've spent 8 on Vaagur.

SaintWacko

I got a bunch and then spent 45 on Vaagur

Took me down to 7 souls

DwarfSlice

I have a level 1 Khrysos, Level 3 Mammon, Level 4 Siyalatas

That's it

Arperum

Onlyspend ~half of the ones you get from your latest ascension, and store the rest.

SaintWacko

Maxed Vaagur is so worth it, though

Arperum

That way you keep getting more, and thus your dps goes up. and you can spend some on stuff every ascension.

DwarfSlice

7:56 PM

What does Vaagur do?

Also I don't have him available.

Frank

@SaintWacko I still need to find that one.
