The most masterpiece BASED communist game ever made right here.

GTA 6 will be complete garbage just like every other gta game. How does rockstar keep getting away with selling you losers the same product over and over again? You're nothing but mindless consumers who literally buy anything as long as its hyped. There is no good taste to be found anywhere near you, you're casual bad taste havers that continue to aid the downfall of gaming. We need more real gamers such as myself with great taste such as myself that won't support trash like this.

However, the DLC is so fucking brutal man. I’m playing it on the highest difficulty and the average level takes like 45 minutes plus to complete. The reason isn’t even because the game is genuinely hard; the problem exists because of the enemy spam.

Don’t take the DLC the wrong way. The level design is solid, the scenery both communicates a sense of scale and the player’s destination, the normal spawn points are well placed, the new weapons are fun to use, the enemy types are cool, and the difficulty feels appropriate for a DLC in most sections. However, the game is the FPS equivalent to dark souls 2.

Some enemy spawns are completely cheap and are meant to kill the player randomly. The purge levels take ages to complete given the enemy spam and how many waves the player has to fight through. Most fights are multi fights that leave little room for cover. Finally, the set design is discontinuous, which causes the same staggering feeling you’d get when transitioning between levels in dark souls 2. It’s so fucking brutal, dream-like, and long in areas where it shouldn’t be. I’ve had to spend almost an hour shooting from the same dumbass spot or running around for dozens of minutes just to get through some levels. I’m glad the devs learned a lot about level design from the first game, but it’s a shame that they didn’t realize that more enemies != harder and more fun game.

Suprisingly more fun than half life 2 when it’s working.

You guys have to check out terraforged + distant horizons man. This shit is so cozy.

This weapon represents what all post apocalyptic games should be about, decay. The survivalist rifle isn’t a bad weapon, it isn’t a unique weapon either. Rather, the rifle is a useful tool that’s been battered by the degradation of the society that made it. This idea of decay should have been present everywhere in fallout. Fallout feels too ‘clean.’ Even in the originals, there was a pervasive feeling that the world was comically ruined while all the technology that was left behind is in a comically useful state. The inverse should be true.

Yes the world of fallout (especially 4) is broken down, but the games really don’t capture what being broken down looks like. The ruins of settlements and logistics infrastructure should litter every meter of ground. Weapons should be advanced but always in a near broken state. Makeshift weapons and equipment should be rare given how much wealth was left behind by the humans of the old world.

I think the capital in fallout 3 got this feeling right the most. The city creates the same feeling as walking through post war Aleppo. The capital gets all these ideas right. It’s urban, but ruins, trash, and corpses litter everything in your sight; weapons are advanced but most of them are breaking down; and there’s always a pervasive feeling that you’re exploring a once great civilization no matter what part of the capital you’re in. You never get that feeling of stagnation and despair when exploring through the slums of the stadium, the villages of the first two games, or even in any of the clips of the Fallout TV show. I don’t think any other post apocalyptic game got that feeling right…

Every game is a Psyop

The single biggest mistake this asshole made was immortalizing himself with the powers of chaos. By taking chaos, he immortalized the corruption of the warp. Every intelligent species is doomed because of this asshole. Human or not, every fucking organism in the galaxy has a valid reason to hate this motherfucker and want his empire raised to the ground.
Immortalizing chaos prevents any faction from ever making the galaxy safe even with the introduction of blackstone devices. All sentinent beings are now doomed to have their souls trapped forever in the warp upon death, and face eternal torment by chaos during their life. It’s not like big E wasn’t warned about his actions causing the eradication of all life in the galaxy. People fucking told him repeatedly that there would be a galactic civil war followed by galaxy-scale omnicide if he kept pushing for the web way project. The fucker also doomed any chance of humanity’s potential growth away from the abomination that it is in his endless imperial wars. It doesn’t matter if Guilliman overcomes era indomitus. Now the entirety of the galaxy is genuinely doomed to never get better, and it’s all this asshole’s fault.

>:(

I don't like cozy games or games that are to aesthetically "cute". I'd rather spend my time on a game where I can be a cool military soldier (even if the genre sometimes could be propagandistic). Or anything with a power fantasy in it like Doom or Elder Scrolls. My kind of escapism is typically action oriented, and this stuff just doesn't fit me or my self perception. Stuff that's realistic is more for me.

I can see the appeal of relaxing games though.
