It actually looks like a pretty good game after skimming this video. I hope the combat will be more dangerous and punchy though and that the quest/dialogue aspect of the game which wasn't the focus the vid will be good.
Planned to release for September 6th, I think I'll pirate it on day one, or whenever empress does her magic if it's under Denuvo.
Well I would need a better PC, whenever I thought about upgrading my decade old machine to play releasing AAA titles such as Cyberpunk or Callisto Protocol I ended up not doing it because those games were shit, most of the big games recently were shit actually, hope Starfield breaks the trend.

Is Starfield the new Sonic '06? Because it literally repeats that game's flaws: it was very ambitious but came out completely fuckin' broken. Now, I haven't tried the game with 9000+ mods but when it comes to the vanilla game it's completely unacceptable. No matter what your opinion is on Skyrim, Fallout 4, Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky we can all agree their vanilla versions are a thousand times better than the dogshit that are Fallout 76 and Starfield. Seriously, just because Cyberpunk released in such a state doesn't mean this game had to copy Cyberpunk. And CDPR was actually fixing the fucking game. A big F goes to all the madlads who pre-ordered this excuse of a game on consoles, I'm sorry, my dudes… 😞

>>40051
>Fallout 76
right now it's unironically better than no man's sky,unless you really love procedural generation and shitty event "challenges" with a dozen half bake gameplay loops that barely interact with each other

Did they make the base building fun? I played on launch and there was almost no reason to make a base and there was nothing to decorate them with.

>>40051
ok let's be fair, starfield was nowhere near as bad as sonic 06 even at launch

>>40054
>starfield was nowhere near as bad as sonic 06 even at launch
Proof? Starfield also has loading screens and glitches. And without loading screens and constant glitches '06 is simply a better game than the more polished Sonic Forces, it just is.

Never thought about the “I’m going to make your favourite franchise mainstream” phenomenon like that. Also never thought that it would be the bourgeoisie themselves who forced people to despook.

You see, the reason why night city is such a shithole is because everyone is mean to each other. Just like in Los Angeles, everyone in might city thinks that they’re a fucking king that doesn’t need to be polite or show humility towards others. No one in night city shows any empathy or respect towards each other, which makes it easy for the corporate rats to extract money from everyone in the city.

>same difference
No? You're misusing the two terms. Even if solipsism is idealist, saying that reactionaries are solipsist just because they're idealist is like saying socdems are Marxists just because they're leftist. It's just illiterate.

Anyway, the idealism of solipsism depends on how deep of a rabbit hole you go. Soft solipsism is just a broad application of scepticism really, it's nothing that weird like Hyperboreanism or whatever the fuck.

>>39732
Honestly, most modern day solipsist have the same personality as the average reactionary anyways.

>>39732
yeah its the other way around, that idealism is solipsist. comes from lenins mec, he says that idealism and vulgar mechanical materialism, which he considers crypto-idealism, both logically collapse into solipsism. its of course a polemic and a bit of a reach but he is basically saying anyone who doesn't agree with him is necessarily a solipsist. Hes basically saying that you have to believe in an external physical world, and that it is understandable through reason, otherwise your only grounding for reality is through the thoughts in your head, you can't know if everyone else is p-zombies or trust their claims/judgement and the world could be an illusion of a demiurge if you are only grounded internally. Hes basically just getting really mad at people who claim to be materialists but are not dialectical for claiming that sense experience is the foundation of reality because it is grounded in the individual, but hes also not wrong.

>>39746
Saying that idealism necessarily collapses into solipsism isn't the same as saying idealism is solipsist. Rather, it's a claim that idealism and objective truth are incompatible, something that will drive reactionaries really mad.

I fucking hated the Edgerunners anime. I'd rather they adapt the comics Big City Dreams, Trauma Team, and Blackout into one anthology film. Cause they all eschews the romanticized view of cyberpunk that Edgerunners (and the game itself) gave.

I love my screen getting blurry and bloody when I get hit. I love all the little interaction animations. I love having a first person view model with animations. I love having bullet physics. I love having realistic AI with realistic firearms. I love having missiles fly and fall at realistic speeds. I love modern military uniforms in post apocalyptic settings. I love drug visuals and being able to bash open locks.

Games are experiences

At roughly 1:40 talking about a Update that adds some cars for GT7
>Please add more hypercars, koenigsegg or GT3 cars uwu
Fuck i hate them. These people are the reason why nowadays racing games suck so fucking much. Yes, sure please add more le expensive shit cars that nobody will ever be able to afford in real life. Also literally the biggest reason why GT7 cars list (more like shit list) feels so fucking underwhelming is because of these fucking overpriced 900hp speed turds which occupy like 80% of that games cars list. Yes please, give us another Shitgatti Fartron or another variant of the McFarten Fart1. Every shitty new racing game has to have a Lamborgenital for some fucking reason. "Ohhh what? You want some variety and le peasant cars like in the old games? Fuckk you, heres another variant of the Mercedass SLS AMG (AMG standing for Anal Motherfuckin Gayfuck. Fuck.

As already said: The solution is to give different cars different distance requirements for winning the race. The finishing line is the same everyone, but not where they start. Devs for semi-realistic racing games have no creativity in them, so I guess this has to happen in real life before it can happen in a video game.

2 guys, 2 cars. One car ancient, one car brand-new. The guys both try out each car and then negotiate for the race who will drive which car and what the distance compensation for the weaker car is going to be. Once they reached their agreement, the race can start.

Old NFS were goated yeah. I think I played through the first Underground just with the starter Golf GTI. Was fun. I also played through Forza Horizon 3, including all the dlc. Was meh. Horizon is generally overrated as fuck. It's essentially the Ubisoft formula applied for racing games. Ton's of busywork. You get tons of cars, especially hypercars and they never feel rewarding. I think when I was only about 25% done with the game I already had a fully modded Lamborghini and played through the whole game with that. The game shits you a ton of cars out but you never care. However what really sucks is if your goal is to get every car in the game, even though you might already have like 95% of the cars in your garage once you are basically done with every race etc.., the last 5% each cost like 10.000.000. credits and you would need to grind for that shit really hard. I think the best moneymaking method was like a 8 hour race (in realtime obvs) which gives you maybe like 20.000.000 credits. I remember that I was already burnt out at this point and so I bought the ingame currency with actual money. Was not proud of it but at that point I really didn't care anymore. And the funny thing is that those cars never interested me in the first place, I think I didn't even drive one of those cars once. Nah, you know what, fuck that game.

Black Box's NFS and Criterion's Burnout were the shit. EA ain't doin' shit like that no more, ALL MY FAVORITE FRANCHISES ARE KILLED OFF! 😭 Who's gonna bring back the classic Sims? Who's gonna bring back SSX? Fuck you EA! Give me back my favorite series, you corporate cucks!

They murdered Black Box! They murdered Maxis! They castrated Criterion too! All ruined. Forever. And when the NFS series was starting to find its lost charm with NFS 2015 THEY THREW IT ALL AWAY AND STARTED FROM SCRATCH! These mfs never fucking learn, they introduced the classic mode to Apex Legends and now it's all gone! They keep trying to fix The Sims 4 while this game should have been put out of its misery a long time ago! I hate this company.

I've been having a lot of fun with the new Tokyo Xtreme Racer, although it's really annoying most of the cars I wanted don't unlock until you beat the game.

After playing nothing but sims and simcades for years I've now been playing Virtua Racing and games that look like it. Funny how that works

I'm pretty new to victoria 3, and I'm looking for some advice. What are some fun countries to play as while still being a beginner? Also, what are the best mods I should get?

oh and one more thing, I set stuff to privatize stuff as soon as I build it. gotta monetize that investment pool somehow while you don't have any construction sectors. i don;t think much of it sold but every little bit helps

Ok now I need to attack New Grenadine, they're unalligned, not that strong, and have coal and iron. After failing at invading one time, trying to invade through Antioqua, I managed to successfully invade through Panama. Problem is my cash flow ended up so negative even deleting my whole military couldn't save me. Goddamn this mil thing is so hard. I read that the best for a naval invasion is an even lancer infranty mix so I tried that. It take forever to train the damn navy so next time I build up my mil I'm definitely going to start with the navy. I just don't know how I go from crazy positive money every turn, to removing every subsidy and deleting the military does nothing. It will turn green for a second then just immediately start dropping down to red.
>oh and one more thing, I set stuff to privatize stuff as soon as I build it. gotta monetize that investment pool somehow while you don't have any construction sectors. i don;t think much of it sold but every little bit helps
Yeah I think I'm going to start doing that too. I tried doing it when I needed it but it didn't give me any moneys.

>I'm just saying the whole chain of effects in such a complex game make it impossible to learn especially if they keep changing the rules.
The game is a work-in-progress essentially.

>>40016
Nah i have playlists with a shotload mods.no crash no gamebreaking bugs, but like I said, who knows what mjnor tweaks in tge numbers does until you experiment with a full playthrough shain and again. You told me about the immigrstion debuff i had no idea about. What if every mod had undocumdnted no warning debuffs?

Le butterfly effect is wha i'm sayin. Nah mean?

< "The way games are funded you don't use your own money. Even EA, its games are hugely expensive to make, they're upwards of you know 250 sometimes 600 million dollars it's for certain live games it's incredibly how expensive they are and to do that uh your CFO is your best friend.


< "You're counting on your CFO to get you tax breaks to get you in to put studios in regions which are financially favorable and you will borrow the cheap money, you will get a cheap money to do it. Even EA does this. I worked with EA; we were putting together a deal where they were taking bailout money from the banks in the last financial crisis that we had, and they were applying that cheap money towards games, same thing with Covid money. They're applying that cheap money towards games, and what has been the cheapest money while interest rates were still low, you know a couple of years ago it was ESG financing, and so they're going to take this money."


< "Because the returns on investment have been so poor on Wall Street for ESG funds, that source of Revenue is drying it up. This Woke machine cannot continue in the way that it is now for AAA gaming, and I think unfortunately, it's so entrenched that you're not going to see—you're not going to see much of an ability to course correct because the studios are—they're just gonna shut down."

Outstanding move, EA. The Sims 4 is truly the diverse game of all time.

You can't add sliders! What if someone made an adult woman and then child coded her by making her shorter than average and giving her small breasts? You'd be encouraging pedophilia!

Remember when every new Sims installment added more body options to Create-a-Sim? That was cool. But hey, at least we can stretch body parts with the mouse now… That's the only improvement TS4's CAS has, everything else is somehow worse.

Let's hope GTA 6 will be a better Sims 4 than Sims 4 was.

Starship troopers extermination is surprisingly fun. The game has a lot of enemy and weapon variety, the cooperative aspect gives the game a strong feeling of group cohesion, and the explosions are nice. Seriously, the game plays like a perfect combination of squad and factorio.

It’s kind of surprising knowing that the game’s launch flopped given how much it has going for it. I guess the cinematic of helldivers and the procedural planet types kind of made extermination obsolete.

I got good news and bad news, good news is this 15 year old cowboy shay Daniels game is coming to PC after so long in 29 October, bad news is, you're gonna "have" to pay 50 dollars for steam to play it. So contact your local piratebay smuggler, tell him fitgirl repacks has a new target.

Dutch was either pic related or he was just using the money as an excuse and simply lived to fight. I lean toward the latter given his dialogue in RDR1.

>>37513
Impeccable taste, we need a remaster of that game

>>39149
Dutch didn't want to leave behind the life of being an outlaw even though he knew it would catch up to him in the end. He loved the life of leading an outlaw group too much to actually act on his plans of moving to Australia or Tahiti.

The funny thing is that if you exploit the odriscoll camp in the early chapters, running away after looting and killing all but 1 guy, and coming back so they respawn, you can have hundreds of thousands of dollars yourself from selling their endless loot. It was funny because I did this on my first playthrough and gave most of it to the ledger, so the ledger would just be like everyone donating a few bucks here and there and HERE COMES ARTHUR DONATING ENOUGH FOR THE GANG TO LIVE THE REST OF THEIR LIVES IN COMFORT and the game still acts like we a bunch of broke ass bitches on the verge of starvation

I want to talk about an idea that’s been on my mind. A lot of people came into part 2 waiting for wish fulfillment. I don’t want to get into the debate over Joel’s, but from what I understand about the western gaming community and the last of us’ fan base, a lot of people were expecting another game dedicated to Joel and Ellie running around.

I’m glad that the developers took a strong stance away from this idea, but there’s another thought that’s been on my mind. The authors can recognize that pain is permanent.

For context, a lot of games, shows, and movies tend to feature tragedies, traumas, and other events that cause pain as reversible. Hell, physical regeneration from immediate injuries or even resurrection is commonplace throughout franchises like deadpool, warhammer, and other mainstream slop.

The last of us’ developers treat pain as permanent. Even if the forces that caused the suffering are removed, the effects and the legacy of the pain itself never go away or fully leave one’s life.

In part 3, Ellie isn’t going to come out any less broken than she did by the end of part two. If her ending is retconned, it’ll feel completely half assed. How the fuck do you even approach such an idea. So many people in her life are dead, so many hopes were crushed, and so much hasn’t changed. Even if her physical condition improves, what am I saying, it won’t.

The third game is going to be intense. I don’t think anyone is going to be ready for the loneliness in it.

The Fireflies were a bunch of morons willing to kill maybe the only person on the planet with immunity on the first attempt to create a never before tried vaccines. Realistically, it was never going to work. Joel was right to kill them all, if humanity had any chance left at rebuilding, it wasn't gonna be due to a miraculous vaccine.

These games were written by a moron to have forced drama and they fall apart under basic scrutiny which completely devalues any sort of dilemma they try to pose.

I hated Joel in TLOU1 and disagreed with his choice and supported Marlene and the Fireflies' desperate gambit over Joel's selfish desire to LARP Sarah 2.0 with Ellie. I am literally the perfect audience for TLOU2 but I still hated TLOU2 since Neil didn't bother to write a good story and just went straight for shock value. I'm fine with Joel dying but even as someone who hates Joel Neil did him so dirty and killed him in the most retarded way possible. Dina was also not a good character just a walking plot device to throw more unnecessary drama into Ellie's life. When she admitted she was pregnant I actually cringed IRL it's like Neil spent his entire time watching soap operas rather than thinking of a good storyline. The Scars and WLF were also insane caricatures rather than realistic post-apocalyptic factions. There was so much wrong with TLOU2 but unfortunately in terms of gameplay it's probably the best single player third person action zombie shooter on the market and will be remembered fondly for that reason alone.
