dayum, the No Man Sky guy is still pumping out updates and bug fixes to this day.
7 posts omitted.

I started playing no man's sky a few months ago and it was a total snoozefest. Just because it's way better than how it used to be doesnt make it good. The game is overly complicated and also extremely grindy. The game is constantly telling you what to do, and it takes forever to get anything done at all. All the procedurally generated planets are super uninteresting and i cannot fathom why anyone would willing play this game.

>>35872
fundamentally its still a completely shit game

Pretty good game to test out if a person can stomach a game that requires patience. Since it is not obscure it is easy to convince someone to play it, too.

The Sean Murray erotic fanfiction was worth it.

Is the way the Combine portrayed in Half-Life anti-communist?
Ironic the people that made these games became huge lefties later.

the Combine might also be a case of Kautskian ultra-imperialism. either way resistance is clearly reactionary

>another "is le pop culture le communist????????????" thread
oh my fucking god who cares

>>36203
this is clearly a "is le pop culture le anticommunist????????????" thread, pay attention

>>36203
more productive then a porn thread or japan/anime thread that devolves into bunch of neets complaining about jcp not being pro hentai.

>The USSR was a repressive brutal dictatorship, but actually that was good
>Therefore every depiction of repressive brutal dictatorships in media must be good and opposing them is wrong!

The more I'm digging into this, the more unpalatable it seems for anons to get into. I'm not for certain you'll have to do this, but you might have to get whitelisted in order to play as a cracked user.
But if you are a cracked user & want to play on the server w/o having Minecraft or a MS Acct, I think you'll have to get whitelisted.
https://alpha.place/how-to-join/
There is a Disc0rd invite on their website^
I think whitelisting works by choosing a random username & making a login for the server when whitelisted, but I'm not sure.
There is a whitelist section at the Alpha Place fbi.gov.
I know anons hate fbi.gov, so this is probably not viable. I don't think you have to use a phone number for fbi.gov, but you could make a throwaway account.

I talked with a moderator and they said that it takes 1 to 3 days to possibly get whitelisted.
–I don't think you have to give a phone number to use Disc0rd to get whitelisted, so it is possible to make a throwaway email with Tuta Mail / Tutanota & then a throwaway Disc0rd without using any phone numbers.
–BUT you will have to get the email verified + skip the Disc0rd tutorial thing.

The error I was having with "you have enough accounts 3/3" the moderator said was because you can only have so many accounts per IP or something like that – and the test account I made apparently the name I chose was already a registered name on Alpha Place, so you might have to talk with the mods to find the right name.

First you use that Betacraft launcher.

You can use Tuta Mail to make a disposable email:
https://tuta.com/

Verify the email + skip the Disc0rd tips / tutorial by dismissing the orange glowing exclamation points…

I don't think you have to download Disc0rd to use Dis0ord, but you can use Disc0rd on your browser. Make a throwaway Disc0rd with that Tuta Mail and join the Alpha Place server fbi.gov under v General Chats & #cracked-user-whitelist.

Submit a name from namemc.com
https://namemc.com/
The name you submit under the Whitelist -might- already be taken, so you might have to check with a mod like GG (gavin) or Windows7Ultimate or Noggisoggi later to get whitelisted.
Whitelisting could take 1 or 3 days, so be patient.

Voilà, you can play Minecraft Alpha without giving a phone number!



 

So we are getting both a nu-Doom prequel and Hexen spiritual successor, aren't we?

>after how they treated Mick Gordon
QRD?

>>36165
tl;dr version he got the "screw over the private contractor" treatment while making the music for Doom Eternal, including:
<nonsensical expectations (like writing music for levels that weren't even designed yet)
<rejecting submitted music for not being "good enough" but then using it anyway and not paying him for it
>not paying him in general (for almost a year)
>producing the OST release of the music without him, behind his back, and without his knowledge, but crediting him for it causing him to take the heat for it being poorly done
>Marty Stratton running to r/doom to post a hit piece slandering Gordon as lazy and entitled
>constantly jerked around and lied to by Marty in general
>Zenimax trying to force him to take a settlement on the condition that he would accept the reputational damage and own the sloppy OST release he wasn't even involved with
That's just some of the bigger stuff.
And this is how they treated a guy widely hailed as a visionary who majorly contributed to the success of the previous game. IDK maybe Marty got butthurt from the "they included a game with this album" jokes.

Mick Gordon's full statement, with receipts:
https://medium.com/@mickgordon/my-full-statement-regarding-doom-eternal-5f98266b27ce

>>36166
Damn, what a bunch of assholes. I haven't even played Doom Eternal yet I mostly know it for Gordon' amazing soundtrack, I hope they pay dearly for this.

>>36170
It's probably the most iconic piece of video game music since, what, Snake Eater?

>>36170
Mick Gordon still hasn't been paid for half the game if memory serves, and that's the actual in-game music. He didn't get paid at all for the OST release. Like he said, that's a whole separate product. The in-game music is basically a bunch of modular pieces that get arranged in real-time by an algorithm while you play the game, and the OST is a manual arrangement to try to get the best version of each piece. For the OST release he still made most of those pieces (the same pieces used by the game) but they were arranged and mastered by the sound designer Chad Mossholder IIRC.

>>36172
Yeah and like I said, if they are doing this guy this dirty, how do they treat the rest of the workers? Who else on the project has the name recognition that people would even pay attention if they spoke up about something like this?

Hey all, little schizospiracy theory

The Godot engine is a social experiment:
- Godot comes from the french "absurd theater" play "While waiting for Godot" where Godot represents God, and the point of the play is that Godot never comes, and the people waiting for him do absurd stuff while waiting for him, and cope with the fact he's not coming.
- The Godot game engine is very meh, especially considering the huge amount of traction it has. The leads are incompetent, and have no vision, no profesionnalism. The fo See https://waiting-for-blue-robot.gitlab.io/index.html for complete criticism. It's more of a cult than a community, and this is what i will build my next point on.
- The cult schizophrenically waits for the next version of the engine to fix everything wrong with it (just like in the piece: waiting for God: something very good, just like the next version of Godot according to them). While waiting, they boast about their objectively overrated engine, invent qualities to it, attack any critic (see future thread replies of angry godotcels), and engage in other ABSURD cult behaviour (in the play, they engage in such activites "While waiting for Godot")

Juan Linietsky, you're a comedic genius

just use anything non proprietary, it doesn't matter unless your budget is $10m+

>Even if i'm a little indie studio or even alone, i'd rather have the best thing i can have.
I mean, that's your preference. I'd rather avoid anything proprietary as much as possible.

>>36058
Good argument, i'd prefer if the engine i used was not proprietary but there's better non proprietary engines than Godot.

>>36065
>there's better non proprietary engines than Godot
Sure, of course, I'm all for using more polished and feature-rich libre software, lack of quality-of-life features only drags libre software down. Though still be sure to donate a couple dollars so the devs don't get upset and leave. But if Godot devs indeed don't deliver on their promises it is really a lost cause.



 

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.

Creation Kit just dropped today. They also finally added melee weapon tiers and mods and ammo crafting. They're slowly ticking off things that I seriously disliked when I played through it but there's still a ways to go before I could recommend people try it, at least there's mods now to fill in the gaps. They showcased the new DLC in a different video too.

I was kind of intending this thread to be a storehouse of replies for

<hurrr but who would work without profit motive???? you ever thought about that commie?


where fans have for one reason or another put in a great deal of time and effort to maintain or recreate digital experiences.

For example, I stumbled on some videos for a fan recreation of TIE fighter which, from the clips of it, looks really neat. It seems like video related is a mod based off of another mod for the million year old X-wing Alliance engine. I need to look further into it and see if it's built off of the original game, or its own standalone deal meant to mimic it.

Then there's also Tamriel Reborn that seems like it isn't just a remake of the original, but actually expands on the original Morrowind, I guess to add back in all of the content that had to be cut. Apparently they've been going at it since 2001.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKyrzZRo-O0

Then there's DOOM, which has just had an insane amount of work done on it and with it since it was released. It's actually pretty amazing to see what people are capable of doing with it after so long.

TF2 players have more solidarity than the average American, people online are more willing to organize to save a video game than to unionize. Let that sink in

>>36062
Safe tf2 has so much solidarity, this level of solidarity is unreal. It can't go any further.

How many more "consumer revolts" until Valve actually bothers updating TF2 again? (trick question!)

>>36062
TF2 isn't even that much of a moneymaker compared to their other games and the updates have pretty much been automated for years, lol. There's literally zero incentive for Valve to bother with it. I mean they released a whole new separate FPS before touching TF2 again, so yeah, it's time to let go.

>>36082
how can someone even 'revolt' over tf2? it's already f2p

>>36098
That's the more ridiculous thing too. It's getting review-bombed but I don't know why Valve would even care about a game from 2009 they haven't properly updated in half a decade getting bad reviews by users.

It looks like Ubisoft is being criticized once again.

What are your thoughts on the deliberate inclusion of racial diversity elements in games?

People detest overt political propaganda, especially when it undermines the artistic integrity of the literary work itself.

I personally believe this is an example of political intervention in culture by Western countries to mediate immigration conflicts. It is evident that population's importance to the economy is now paramount. With the significantly reduced birth rates among white people and immigrants no longer primarily coming from Europe, having actors on stage say a few lines like "Welcome African friends" and featuring some black actors seems to be a way to ease conflicts.

The anger in Asian regions seems particularly intense. Not only in Japan, but also in South Korea, Taiwan, and mainland China, there is noticeable criticism. In the context of rising nationalism globally, doing this appears to be a form of desecration (although the admiration for white culture and disdain for darker cultures in Asia seem quite common). I believe if they changed the character to a white samurai, the issue might be less severe. Oh, my, imagine an Italian missionary in Japan (who looks like a mix of Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert Downey Jr.), wielding a katana engraved with Roman Catholic symbols, teaching Oda Nobunaga's army how to use advanced European weaponry, and eventually falling in love with a Japanese princess (1.55 meters tall), leaving behind symbols from another world during Japan's turbulent times. Isn't that cool? In China, if you created a comic about a German joining the Chinese army to resist Japan (preferably with the main character being a anime female with white hair and red eyes), it might be very popular. "My name is Feng Shilaiman, a Sino-German mixed race. My father graduated from Whampoa Military Academy, and my mother is the daughter of a German general." But if you changed the character to an African, many people would curse the author to have all-black children.

So, how would the left-wing comment on this? Political and capital interference in literature is indeed repulsive, but the racism it reveals is concerning.A more noticeable feature is that when Black people join, a lot of people say, "Can't you create your own African-themed content and add Black people?" But when White people join, no one says, "I hope to see White people only in European-themedPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

A better duo would be actually organizing the proletariat. ;)

Grown ass men and women getting upset over aesthetic additions to video games is truly a sign of the times

>>36095
being upset over culture isnt anything remotely new

>>36095
People are not upset over aesthetics, they are upset over pandering and historical inaccuracies, even though these claims are not entirely valid. Though of course a black character was probably a mandate: it's a AAA publisher, their games are soulless cash grabs now.

In conclusion, fuck AAA publishers, I want their headquarters to be snapped out of existence.
