I live in a relatively poor country, i work as a janitor and ear between 200-300$ most devs when pricing the game at my currency doesnt even take our buying power into account, as much as i like achievment hunting etc i cant afford most releases because they'd cost around 30% of my income. Should i just pirate these games?
1 post omitted.

Yes

Yup


>>48639
I have shitloads of savings and I still pirate games, obviously you should

>>48639
No. You violate Intellectual Property over my dead body. If your country is so poor it's because you're a bunch of no-good layabouts. You should work harder for the betterment of your national economy instead thinking about recreation. Consider mopping the floor as quickly and efficiently as possible to be your favourite game for now.



 

Recently, fantasy media has been doing diversity in the absolute dumbest and laziest way possible, which is to continue to do European-based medieval fantasy and just make all the characters (including the magical creatures) a completely random smattering of all ethnic appearances and calling it a day. No explanation for why a backwoods medieval farming village appears so cosmopolitan it makes New York City look like an ethnostate. And no recognition of non-European cultures either, it's just straight European fantasy and all cultures and people are treated as European with their appearance being purest tokenism.

But with the Elder Scrolls deciding to put the next game in Hammerfell, land of the Redguards, we have an opportunity to have a fantasy world based on non-European cultures with a largely black and brown native population since the Redguards are based on North African peoples. Its an opportunity to show that you can have a successful fantasy world based on non-European cultures with a mostly non-white population, and the right will no longer have the justified complaint that its shitty worldbuilding (and, despite culture war contrarianism, I think everyone knows that the aforementioned trend IS shitty worldbuilding) and they will be forced to fall back on naked racism, which will cause them recede back into their corners of society.

But all that depends on the game itself actually being good and with modern Bethesda that is a big question.

The Roman Empire was more "Mediterranean" than it was specifically "European." While it could be said that North Africa, the Middle East and Asia Minor were "colonized" by the Romans, they weren't any more "colonized" than its European holdings outside of the core territory in the Italian peninsula, and they rather infamously thought that Northern Europeans were basically orcs.

>>48565
It remains to be seen whether the elderly white boomers at the top of Bethesda have any creative vision left for TES, and whether we're sufficiently post-woke for gamers to accept the existence of black people in a video game.

Oh my god I just thought of it but they're going to have a customisable ship or some shit like that as the gimmick

>>48598
Good, ship is a far more fitting base of operation for a murderhobo than a house.

>>48593
The Levant is rightful European clay

Legacy of the Chinareich Edition

The other one filled up again so I might as well recreate it. For all those interested this is the big thread for all your Hearts of Iron 4 and modding related content, mostly modding because let's be real nobody plays vanilla anymore. Specifically alternate history. From Kaiserreich to The Fire Rises, mods from this shoddy game set in alternate timelines seem to really do numbers. And create serial killers.

So most recently the latest update from vanilla broke every mod's nation selection screen. You simply hate to see it

they actually made the puzzle to get the kokiro sword have more platforming, so it seems they made some easy stuff harder, and some harder stuff easier.

>>48616
>>48617
tf are yall on about god damn

>>48628
if anything it actually seems that nintendo made it a bit more mechanically difficult overall (enemies are a little bit harder to make combat more fluid), and they only toned down the puzzle stuff, and threw in some accessibility stuff. it wouldn't be that bad if they had thrown in master quest in the 70 dollar package, like they did with the 3DS remake

>>48631
This review says the fights are easier:
https://www.rpgsite.net/review/21686-the-legend-zelda-ocarina-time-remake-review
<Everything Link does now feels and comes out faster, be it hurling bombs, whacking an unsuspecting enemy with the big hammer, or nimbly jumping out of the way of an attack before returning with a jump slash of his own. Much of the time, it almost felt like Link was playing a whole different game compared to those I was fighting, making much of Ocarina far easier than I remember it being.

<Due to both adjusted controls and some battle tweaks, I found the challenge provided by bosses to be the most diminished.

I have also seen clips showing various boss nerfs and demonstrating that axe-wielding enemies don't deal any damage on block anymore.

COD is a ZOGbot production psyops, as well as almost every shooter game that was ever made.

>>48536
No other game lets me play as a badass soviet tovarish in Stalingrad and Berlin. The pacific campaign remains unmatched as well.

>>48533
>it was a modern shooter with WW2 paint over it.

How? All of the COD games had been WW2 themed at that point except modern warfare (which wasn't even made by the same studio)

>>48553
because they recycle engines, and the mw engine was made for modern tacticool fast-paced room clearing. all the cod games since mw have been "war on terror" gameplay with different coats of paint on top
ww2 is too slow for modern games

hype moments and aura

>>48553
it's also that killing nazis is now alienating a sizeable portion of the core audience, if the reactions to the latest wolfenstein are anything to go by lol



 

Post in this thread every time you play a new game and rate it, I'll start, currently playing Dread Dawn, pretty jank and honestly not that good but I'm desperate for more zombie games to wait until PZ 42 comes out. 6/10.

Started Planescape:Torment due to everyone talking about it inspiring Disco Elysium. I'm enjoying it, but I think it's pretty funny how I'm playing int/wisdom/charisma as my higher stats, so combat is me stabbing things with a knife while Morte tanks for me. Hopefully I can make it through the catacombs and learn how to be a mage.

>>48353
I wanna play it but I dont wanna give like £60 to Disney, oh well it will be cracked eventually right

AoE2 currently after watching competitive matches of Hera.

>>48601
yeah the voices38 person has been cracking denuvo at an alright pace, onimusha was just cracked, so i guess it'll be like two months at most

>>48618
Let's hope so.

Started playing SULFUR, the variety of guns is cool but enemy variety feels a bit weak maybe, I don't like how you can't take a specific oil/enchantment off your gun without erasing them all, it doesn't really encourage experimentation imo



 

We have a new Minecraft server! Here's how to join.

  1. Join the Matrix chat.
  2. Get through the Antechamber.
  3. Request access to the Minecraft room, in which case you'll be added and further instructions will be provided.


The server is cracked, running Drasl for account management. This means that despite that, custom skins (and capes) work. The world is backed up regularly, so don't bother trying to grief. We also have Simple Voice Chat on so you can chat with nearby players or have a group chat depending on what you're doing. Otherwise, we're sticking as close to vanilla as possible and keeping the modlist slim. If there's any QoL changes you'd like to suggest, feel free to do so here!

every server i have to share with american players they're either cheating, trolling, immediately detaching themselves off the game whenever someone tries to take it serious, literally being too high off their fucking brains to even know where they are, or just downright begging for attention with racist rants or in the case of queers, just turning the whole server into ERP

and the most "hardcore oldfag" gamers spend more time complaining about videogames than playing them

so what is even going on with americans and videogames?

You're not doing it right

>>47925
I have no idea, maybe image searching would help though.

>>47797

tbf the only russian cheaters i've found are also in NA boosting kids from Florida
or just downright diasporoids, but that's not only for russians, atp whenever i see a diasporoid i'm almost sure they're cheating, and about 80% of the time i'm god damn right.

>>47796
I play single player or with small groups.

If I'm playing with randoms, I just want to troll and fuck around. I only play serious when my team is people I care about, I.E friends

>every server i have to share with american players they're either cheating, trolling-or just downright begging for attention with racist rants or in the case of queers, just turning the whole server into ERP

I wouldn't say this group of people represent the average video game player of any nationality, it's just trying to get a rise out of people for enjoyment, the game being enjoyable or not isn't really relevant to them.

>immediately detaching themselves off the game whenever someone tries to take it serious, literally being too high off their fucking brains to even know where they are-


I don't really see a problem with this, if they prefer to enjoy the game being stoned out of their fucking minds then it's just their individual option. It might be annoying to you in game if your playing something multiplayer, but in that case I would say to try and find people who share your outlook and play with them.

>and the most "hardcore oldfag" gamers spend more time complaining about videogames than playing them


With this I'm assuming your talking about people at places like 4cucks /v/ or RPGcodex and whatever like your video suggests. In which case no, they don't enjoy video games. But the video games aren't actually the point of those places either, just like the first group they are tertiary to the actual purpose they fill for them. Which is using the idea of these "Hardcore, niche, old" games as a way to boost their own egos and achieve a false sense of superiority over others AKA: Pure identity reasons. It's kind of why every discussion about video games on those sites is always through the lens of "This game is better because it's less popular among duh normalfags, Casuals, zoomers" etc. The games are essentially talismans, or shibboleths used to prove ones "intelligence" and "superiority" over the society and people they feel spurned by. Why they do this is probably better fit for a different thread though since its mostly comes down to capitalism, alienation and material reasons and so on.



 

Why am I so addicted to this style of game? I mean the presentation mostly.

The Body Was TO Oshort and empty :( The Body Was TO Oshort and empty :(

because ur gay

i have watched the trailer and decided ur not stricken with gaiety, rather u seem like a rather morose fella, apologies



 

So, with Bioware officially dead, which of the two "spiritual sequels" do you think is more likely to carry its torch?

The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, which is being made by the independent "Cypriot" (Russian) RPG developer Owlcat Games (the same guys who made the Pathfinder and Rogue Trader games) and is based in the Expanse universe, which is a relatively near-future harder sci-fi setting.

or

Exodus, which is being made by Archetype Entertainment, an American development studio which was founded by three former Bioware devs and is a division of Wizards of the Coast (itself a subsidiary of Hasbro), based on an original setting which looks like its more far-future and soft sci-fi.

No. I have literally never played a GTA game in my life and have no interest in GTA6.

>>48515
PS: Don't you play as a criminal doing crimes in GTA games? Why would it even have romance?

>>48516
>criminals never have romances

>>48517
When I think of active career criminals, I definitely don't think of romance.

>>48509
Plenty of people have sex and even brief relationship just for the fun of it though. Ideally, it would be up to the player to figure out if it's just titillation or there's a real relationship between these tow hypothetical characters.
