not surprised at all that the studio raising funds for Azov is taking it out on small indie game devs

you can't even see the game store page at the moment anymore

give these people a hand and they'll take an arm

All they care about is owning the libs and being racist, both of which you can do in Disco Elysium.

How the vast the sea stretches from Mother Base. You can feel the absolute loneliness that Venom Snake is experiencing at this moment, after having to kill all of his comrades.

Lol


 

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.

Anyone still playing the game? For me swiftplay kinda saved it. Only fun mode to play right now, wish they would just return twisted treeline.
What champs and modes do you guys prefer?

Anyway, alk about the game

quit but i have always had two big problems with lol

1) soloque isn't league, the game is balanced around 5v5 franchised pro teams to get sponsorships from state farm and mastercard

2) engagement based matchmaking, but not how everyone else complains about it. idc that it "keeps your winrate 50/50" or whatever. its the LP clamping that is the problem and has been since like season 2. it keeps you below your actual elo for ~300 games which with queues and dodging is 300 hours a season. so even if you are gold plat whatever it will keep you in the division below your actual rating unless you play 8 hours a day and then it just resets after however many months. this is to increase playtime and drive skin sales. they even hired psychologists and openly admitted designing the game to fuck with you because frustration counts as engagement

and thats why solo/duo is more like fantasy football or madden than an actual esport. taking it seriously as a competitive game with intent to improve is a mistake, which would be/is fine if you know that but that isn't how its marketed

>>45024
True. I talked about this here >>42127

Adding voice chat and making ranked flex the main queue would solve the first problem. True ELO would solve the second one. Riot doesn't want to fix these though. It's broken on purpose.

its just total ass to end every season with a 55% winrate in division one and losing promos 6 or 7 times in a row due to rng shitters ruining games. if you extrapolate out for a few hundred more games(hours) you would eventually win your promos and be sitting nicely at 50% winrate but it would probably just be because the other team got the shitters that game and a result of banging your head against a wall until it breaks not actually improvement. feels real bad and its not like there is a lack of shitters at higher ranks

There's going to be a turn-based, text-based simulation of the world starting at the beginning of January 1981. To quote from the rules, "Players join as countries, parties, cabinet members, army officers, guerrillas, individuals, or most any other position they can think of."

Here's a link to the thread explaining how it works and what roles are currently taken: https://eregime.jcink.net/index.php?showtopic=21199

just why?

>>44926
Why not? It's easily the most convenient for discussion between players.


 

How are we feeling about it?

I am cautiously optimistic from the all the gameplay footage released. It genuinely looks like it will be a fun multifaceted game.

i will wait for playable ainu

filtered

>>44778
this. the UI is godawful and games buggy as hell but this is a good game. their best release since vicky2 and imho its not even close

>>45029

End of the day I think that's the basic take-away.

The game is fun to play and has a lot of potential but will need extensive patching for ui improvements, game balance & things just making sense.

I think it will probably take a few months for the later two and a year or so for the former.

t. OP

i feel like im just sitting afk for the first 100 years waiting for the real game to start

>>43713
Nope, you gotta wait for EUX for that.

>Metroid Prime 4 is open world with a motorcycle
Literally everything is open world slop now. Even a series that named the genre where you explore intricate interconnected levels.

no, intricately designed interconnected maps are not the fucking same as open world slop
also Ultima came out in 1981 dumbass

>>44262
I feel like I shouldve expected this direction after metroid prime 3

They just want to be Nintendo Halo to reach a broader audience

>>45037
My uncle works at nintendo and he hates this character with a passion. Says the gameplay is mediocre and brought down by the quipping and the empty world bike sections. Nintoddlers will eat it up anyway. That muppet in the video talking about how the point is to remove tension reminds me of HL:Alyx where the scary immersive atmosphere was intentionally ruined by the guy in your ear bantering back and forth with alyx. We need to bring silent protagonists back.

>>45041
Having a companion is fine if they either don't remove tension or if they only do it when appropriate. Alyx in the Half Life episodes was a good example of doing it well but they spent a lot of time making it work and those games are not specifically about non-linear solo exploration.

Escort NPCs in Metroid Prime could work if they only show up for a little while, and only after you've already been in an area to mix it up. Something like how they make you escape from the exploding planet so it recontextualizes the levels.


File: 1762895942082.png (1.04 MB, 1160x480, video-game-crash.png)

 

>In 1983 the video game industry crashed, plunging from an estimated global market value of $42 billion in 1982 to only $14 billion in 1985. It was catastrophic for what had seemed an unstoppable industry and, like most economic crashes, spawned many myths about its causes and outcomes.

>The popular imagination blames the crash on a combination of poor-quality games (most famously, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial), the rise of home computers, and the increasing number of video game consoles for consumers to choose from. These myths have largely been accepted and perpetuated by historians, social media personalities and popular culture.

>Fast forward to 2025 and the video game industry seems to be going through another crash. Just this year alone, according to the website GamingLayoffs.com, the industry collectively has laid off 3,563 game developers. Gaming website Kotaku reports that Virtuous Ltd, the studio behind one of the biggest successes of the year with The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered, is laying off three hundred employees.

>What the crash of 1983 and the ongoing crash of 2025 have in common is that in both cases, most media, historians and social media influencers have muddied the waters on the cause and source of the crisis.

>In a way, the gaming industry is a canary in the capitalist coal mine. Video games are a sort of luxury goods – nobody ever died from not being able to play Donkey Kong Country or failing to grab the latest Call of Duty game. What this means in practice is that the capitalists who own and run the industry can be as greedy and rapacious as possible, above and beyond what they think they can get away with in more “serious” industries.

>Going back to 1983, Atari’s home version of Pac-Man – considered one of the worst games ever made – still managed to sell a total of seven million copies. Subjectively that’s an eye watering sum of units to sell; objectively it was the highest selling game the Atari console would ever sell. But despite this, Pac-Man for the Atari 2600 console reveals one of the unspoken truths about capitalism: it’s not enough to be successful. While Pac-Man sold seven million units, the corporate executives had banked on selling twelve million – that target would have required every single AtariPost too long.

Always been annoying how rightoid grifters blame the downfall of gaming to rainbow cosmetics or POC main characters, when capitalism is literally bleeding developers dry and nick and diming the consumers

>>44916
Most of the time they just blame "casuals" and "normalfags" for ruining video games, even if you point out that capitalism encourages marketing to the lowest common denominator to extract the most profit from and nickle and dime customers yet they will get asshurt and deny it while blaming "DUH JOOOS" and leftists for supposedly ruining vidya. Just utter retardation.

Nice post

>>44917
Under Socialism videogames are just as likely to appeal to the lowest common denominator. They would just be less exploitative of consumers and developers.
