guyz nvse gonna release ESLs soon

>>48209
I thought they already had esl files? Or is this some new thing?

How come there still isnt any new Fallout game? With success of the TV show, you would guess Bethesda would be jumping at the opportunity to capitalise on the IP.

>>48221
Microsoft is too busy killing their studios to do that
also I heard Obsidian got put on it last time after Avowed and Outer Worlds two shat the bed

I pick legion because it reminds me of ISIS and that makes me happy

>>48187
such a good game; accidentally put 24 hours into it and i only feel like I scratched the surface. Trying to go full iconoclast.

>>48190
I want to go full heretic. Although from what I heard heretic includes the standard selfish evil choices, which I dont find very fun or interesting.

>>48195
wrong the tau are a parody of feudalism not slavery. it's a caste system not a slave system.

>>48217
>it's not feudalism because feudal lords didn't indoctrinate their subjects
aren't you forgetting about the whole divine right of kings, inherently noble bloodlines, and other wonderful lies that feudalism pushed on everyone?

>>48157
No, it wasn't. If you like the Company of Heroes (or Warhammer Dawn of War 2 ) style of RTS its pretty solid. The only problem was there wasn't enough long term support and content. What Ithink undid them is what happens to most RTS devs in the past decades - they decided to focus on competitive PVP tournament garbage first of all. This also doomed Stormgate and many others and that one actually had SC2 style Co-Op from the start but they let it rot etc…but I digress. Comp PVP is only of interest to a handful of hardcore players (and these usually are actively hostile to growing your userbase) whereas campaigns, co-op, custom games and the like are way more desirable, especially for a new game with a new setting

Iron Harvest's setting and story was a unique alt-history WW1 dieselpunk take, but they were working with small kickstarter resources and because they didn't keep growing the playerbase with the aforementioned it didn't get the kind of long term support it could have used. There's a reason that even the Age of Empires series for instance is adding more campaign and co-op stuff and they're doing much better. Iron Harvest isn't bad, but it would have benefited from more campaigns, co-op special missions and standard campaigns etc. Its still worth a play on sale for the campaigns if you like the mechanics/settings, its just a pity it didn't get more.

By comparison, DoW4 has a huge amount of buzz behind it given the interest in all DoW1 and 2, which both had significant DLC and modding expansions alike. We'll see where it goes but I hope for the best.

No gameplay vids? It's a worse version of the StarCaft Ghost trailer but people will drool because graphics.

>>48160
Its actually good cinematic trailer. Blizzard used to have reputation for those, I guess people are pleasantly suprised they managed to make something nice after over a decade of garbage that looks straight out of Korean MMO.

>>48160
I learned long ago not to trust blizzard with anything that isn't out yet

>>48161
Blizzard is a sick social experiment in a studio trying to stay alive on their trailer game alone

>>48170
Call of Duty and Diablo alone will keep Blizzard going until the heat death of the universe. Blizzdrones slurp up any slop that's on offer from those those franchises.

>>47877 (me, posting again about that game because I'm a masochist)
MJ is a character that when crouching is invulnerable to many crouch attacks. But don't worry, everybody has some attacks that work on her lol. Everybody has an overhead and the overhead is… your throw move. Optically this doesn't make sense of course, but gameplay-wise this is actually better than not having an overhead. Blazing Strike is really a 3/10 game that could be a 7/10 with some simple bug fixes. As it is, it feels like a Mugen title and sadly the dev is busy working on the next game instead of fixing this (and his reputation).

Done.

I like Bloody Roar

Is there actually a single 2D fighting game out there with silhouette-based collision detection? I know 16-bit games of any genre have rectangular boxes all oriented in the same way because of technical limitations, modern games still have those because it's considered good enough and it's tradition.

I suppose with hand-drawn animation frames one can argue that collision zones must exceed the silhouette areas because of implied movement between animation frames. But for 2D gameplay with polygonal graphics and fluid movement this is not an issue. And even with hand-drawn 2D animation with big gaps between frames, more accurate collision detection could be done by computing invisible morph frames with corresponding collision data. The question is: Is there a point to this extra effort, would players even feel the difference? Maybe I was a stupid kid, but back then I did not notice that everything on the SNES was really a rectangle.

Under Night In-Birth II Sys:Celes - Played through this with each of the 23 characters + 1 unlockable boss (launch version sans DLC and balance patches) and I still don't know what the title means. It's fighting in anime style (not cel-shaded polygons, big sprites!), so you got more movement options than a 90s fighting game and everybody got some normal attacks that look like specials or even super moves of a 90s fighting game. You gotta catch your opponent somehow when they are dashing around, so these two gameplay aspects logically go together.

The confusing story is told (or rather alluded to) in the arcade mode's cut-scenes in visual-novel style, fully voiced, with. A lot. Of. Dramatic. Pauses. (I like the voices, especially during fights: The humming of Phonon, Wagner sometimes saying SCHEISSE when hit.) You get thrown into a bigger story that is nearing its end. I read that the prior iteration did have a non-interactive story mode with hours of VN content. Couldn't they have cobbled together a recap for newbies? Hrmpf. Night in Tokyo, opening to another dimension, evil guy tries to bring on the apocalypse. It's all very serious and mature, except for all the anime uwu humor (which I'm mostly OK with) and the guest character from another game who is aware she is a guest character from another game (bit too much for my taste).

All our beloved anime tropes are there: woman with big breasts, pretty boy with wig made of a slain Pikachu etc. The characters not only look diverse from cute to monstrous, there is also much variety in how they feel to play. Chaos controls a beast, Merkava can fly, Carmine has attacks that drain his own life (very cool).

The controls are 3 buttons for light/mid/strong attack + special button for various things (throws, shield, extra movement options, super move). Specials are easy to do Hadoken inputs (and quite often the result is a projectile) and Dragon Punch inputs (and quite often the result is a DP). Except for Vatista, the charge character. Down, down + button is another common input for specials. Holding a button for a bit can also have an effect (Mika hard punch deals more damage, Eltnum angles her shots). You got an ex meter to buff your strong specials. You can pause and look at a list of your specials, which also displays if they got ex properties, if you can do them in the air, and if they have specific follow-up moves. YPost too long.

Yes nerdy hobbyists will spend hours making video games in their free time, but will they go tile roofs or work in a slaughterhouse for fun?

>>48137
>work in a slaughterhouse
dont wanna come across as vEgAn but lowkey no one should be doing that

uh oh

>>48137
I'd do some roofing for fun ngl.

>>48137
>work in a slaughterhouse for fun
Condition incels into seeing livestock as women and the slaughterhouses will never run out of volunteers!

>>48102
Idk, I play Albion Online, which is pay2win but in a way that only meaningfully affects guild competition, so as a solo player I dont concern myself with it.

>>45955

Based. Best pvp mmo.

>>48117
Carried by its atmosphere imho. The WoW-style gameplay feels very outdated. Do I really need entire hotbar filled with abilities that boil down to "deal X damage"?

I miss wonderking. The reboot is just a soulless cash grab which breaks my heart. Finally back after so long and its… That
Hell I also loved lost saga.

i want to play la tale s1 again

No ogres makes me sad

>>48109
They've got Kul Tiran humans in Retail which are pretty close to ogres tbh

>>48060
I've always wanted to get into an mmo, so I'm somewhat excited to try it. The blue elves are cute, but I'm not paying $30 plus subscription just to play one.

>>48136
Play Guild Wars instead. All the fun of MMOs. None of the goyslop subscription tiers.

>>48136
WoW Forever is actually free with a subscription when it comes out. You just won't be able to play the bluesky elves

>Did you miss the part where the mission opens with the us military rolling in in an overwhelming show of technological military force, where it effortlessly brushes aside all resistance and the
which can be seen as building up the foundations for later deconstruction. The beginning is meant to build up all the common tropes of america might and technological domination.
Then later missions of the campaign deconstruct it by having such military might be wiped away to a pointless nothing. To become ash. (nuke)

>The reason you get nuked in the first place is because you voluntarily stay behind on some retarded "No one gets left behind" suicide mission.
Which is the game deconstructing the america saves the day trope. With your player character doing america military "hero" shit and then shortly after getting punished for that. (NUKED)

>You getting nuked isn't meant to show the consequences of us military hubris, it's an example of the barbaric brutality of America's enemies,
But the main reason why the enemy does the nuke is because the invasion happened. The only reason why things escalated to that point was because of the invasion.

>that bullshit with you wandering around after initially surviving a nuclear blast is only underscores that
I disagree. I think that scene was meant to show that despite how powerful the usa is, in the end the usa still achieves nothing. That despite how much miltiary strength the usa brought in the beginning of the campaign, in the end all there was is just ash. With your player character being a witness to it as he crawls out of the destroyed helicopter and sees not usa glory but just destruction

>>47988
>which can be seen as building up the foundations for later deconstruction

There isn't any deconstruction. The narrative intention you're imagining doesn't exist. The entire game only reinforces the perception of western military power. That's the point. You're playing the yankee propaganda game. It's the narrative equivalent of Rocky Balboa getting knocked down. It makes him getting back up and overcoming the challenge even more heroic.

>But the main reason why the enemy does the nuke is because the invasion happened.

No, the main reason the nuke happened is because the sas kill squad botched their assassination job and failed to murder Zakhaev, the insane Russian villain that orchestrated the entire sequence of events. The middle east nuke isn't there to "deconstruct" American power but to underscore the need for its use, an intention which is underscored by the Russian madman attempting to nuke the US, which is only narrowly averted by nato superheroes.

There isn't a single moment in this game where the use of force by nato or its military dominance is ever in question. From start to finish its justified by its opponents being insane murderers who if left to their own devices will gladly kill millions. From start to finish it is shouting WE ARE THE GOOD GUYS AND YOU HAVE TO KILL THE BAD GUYS AND YOU ARE RIGHT AND JUSTIFIED AND A BADASS AND AWESOME FOR DOING SO at the very top of its lungs.

But in the rocky example you yourself stated that rocky gets back up and overcomes the challenge. Therefore making the getting back up heroic.
Meanwhile, In the usa campaign this does not happen at all. The mc you play as and the overall us invasion force is annihlated.

After that, theres no heroic overcoming in the us campaign. As shown by the usa campaign ending with your mc dying slowly while he's surrounded by the dead bodies of his comrades. Dying in a ruined city
Its as if rocky was knocked down and then slowly died due to his physical injuries.

>There isn't a single moment in this game where the use of force by nato or its military dominance is ever in question.

the villians speeches do question the intentions of nato and the west

Zakhaev talks about how the west destroyed their economies, destroyed their culture, and just overall destroyed their nations (zakhaev)

Shit opinion, The Modern Warfare games have some of the best-written stories in FPS games you’ll ever get and they offer a better critique of the military-industrial complex than any modern activist game.

>>47854
>>48002
The ideology of CoD, at least, the message in Modern Warfare and even World at War is that everyone believes they are in the right. They justify themselves through their ideology. They aren’t mustache-twirling supervillains, they sincerely believe they’re in the right, even when they betray their own ideals through hypocrisy. They wage war not only because of ideology, but also because of material and strategic interests.
There is never a single refutation of Zakhaev’s arguments. No one says that his claims are bullshit or that he’s simply lying. Instead, he is portrayed as being genuinely convinced that he is in the right, acting in accordance with his own nationalist interests, just as the Americans and British are acting in accordance with theirs.

>His truth will be the truth. But only if he lives, and we die
That's the ideology of CoD

I just download using the magnets from dodi or fitgirl, if it's a ROM then I'll use the myrient magnet that's already on my torrent client

>>45486
This is not an advertisement, I use proton VPN and they give you a single port per connection and up to 5 connections, but it is a dynamic port, so you either need to configure your shit with gluetun or script it or manually change it every new connection. AirVPN offers 5 ports per connection but I haven't tried that. Mullvad offers NOTHING it's not very good for torrenting.

Oh you said free VPN, a free VPN that offers port forwarding doesnt exist, I looked, you're better off paying upfront proton with crypto

yeah by raising the bar for upcoming mods, since people have more powerful tools for developing niche hobby software, you're so right bestie

this is who you're up against, sabiny. godspeed.
