Walking through south Vegas created a genuine feeling of uneasiness in me. I haven’t felt scared by a game like that since I was a kid—much less this much.

I think the constant fear of getting shot by fiends and bleeding out is what caused it. Also, a lot of the gunfights in my version of the game can be heard as background noise. You only really get a sense of the violence once you start seeing the bodies and blood left over.

Uniquely creepy game

In the games, bolt guns, auto guns, and energy guns are portrayed as having visible tracers and trails. Obviously, this design decision is to make the games accessible and the movies easier to watch. However, the idea that any of the projectiles used in the lore are ever visible just doesn’t make a lot of sense.

Tracers aren’t inherent to any projectile, and given how fucked up the galaxy is, you probably wouldn’t want to give away your location. Coincidentally, given how dense a battle in the 40k universe can be, having tracers equipped everywhere might be counterproductive to making your shots visible.

It wasn’t anti Chinese bias. It lost because it’s just another generic soulslop we already played a thousand times. Just because a based Chinese made it doesn’t make it good. I’m happy to see the soulslop trend dying. The first step is a soulslop not winning game of the year. You will see in years to come Souls will become irrelevant like Halo which use to be massive and is now barely played by anyone. That will be From Software and their thousands of clone’s fate.

Was he in the right?

Roy Phillips from Fallout 3 that is, killing everyone in Tenpenny Tower.

So is PUBG a tactical shooter or an arcade shooter?

Do you play fg's? What are your favorites? I'm grinding SF6 currently. I'm still shit, slowly getting better. Overall I appreciate the genre, because it's a rare case of 1v1 multiplayer experience, I never liked team games where everyone is just blaming the other players.

Stalker and to a lesser extent tlou series are the only franchises that give petty criminals any form of dignity.

Cyberpunk’s gangs look like cartoon stereotypes. Fallout raiders look like BSDM enthusiasts. Yakuza is impossible to take seriously. Starfield’s “not-raiders” also look ridiculous even by sci fi standards. Cultists in darktide are bordering subhuman in their portrayal. Even some of doom’s human enemies feel like caricatures of real people.

Why does every game artist do this?

The time to move or attack again after finishers or special attacks in mkx is what made the game so much faster than mk1 or mk11. It’s so much easier to get away with playing as oppressively as possible in x just off the fact that your opponent likely won’t have the time to do shit about it compared to mk1 where most grabs and special attacks at least give you space or time to get your shit sorted out.

Mkx feels like getting your ass beat when you’ve already been flogged.

Sort of political post and sort of gaming related posts

Yeah I’m also editor anon

After playing stalker and a heavily buffed version of new Vegas, I learned just how much fucking worse the effects of prolonged war are compared to the environmental damage caused by nuclear war itself. Forget the idea of wandering through a harsh waste. The fear of constantly getting shot at for no fucking reason is far worse than anything some barren and irradiated waste can offer, because at least the radiation takes time to kill.

War zones in games also remove the power fantasy element of action games. Like the forever winter, you really get a better sense of the idea that your ass genuinely doesn’t fucking matter and that you can easily die at any time from one shitty decision. Wish more games like the forever winter were made so bad.

The 'imperials versus stormcloaks' situation in general.

What would you think of it? Did the story writers anticipate the rise of 'the alt-right' irl in a way?

The Thalmor might be the Neoliberal billionaires and their supporters or the Bilderberg meeting's members. Best comparison I can think of.
