I have finished chapter 1. Clearly my affection for Gokumba, the UFLL boss, was not reciprocated, as after getting rid of local APR leader I was betrayed. UFLL attacked Mike's bar where fellow independent mercs hang out, and church with friendly priest and refugees. I had to choose which one to save, opted for former. Not that it did any good, everyone was still killed and me grievously wounded. Once again I was nursed to health by Jackal and then found by APR mercenary lieutenant Greaves. He tasked me with eliminating Gokumba at his victory rally. Once that was done I ventured to report back to Greaves and transition to new chapter 2 area. This whole segment of the game was quite tense as all my buddies died, so no rescue if I get shot. Greaves was displeased with recent political development between factions which were about to agree on cease fire, meaning mercenaries are out of the job, so I was to escort a barge full of weapons to a central town of map to make it look like UFLL is gearing up for offensive.
I knew this mission was coming, I remember it being a giant pain in the ass when I played the game as a kid. I ignored the whole no reloading rule during it. It is a scripted turret section, except if you attempt to actually use the turrets on the barge you will die. You are bombarded by an RPG, a mortar, and infinitely respawning gunboats. Halfway to town harbor a gunboat with automatic grenade launcher will spawn, which I suspect is glitchy, because its splash damage killed me multiple times through cover. Explosions damage barge engine which has to be repaired to continue moving. Took me like 20 restarts to get through, and even that was only when the grenade boat somehow accidentally blew itself out. It is virtually impossible to finish without knowing exactly what to expect beforehand. First time I when I died to a mortar shell I didnt even know was coming I felt bad and was considering quitting, but after experiecing what a bullshit designed mission it is I continued. Devs seem to agree too as they had put a save station on the barge, an acommodation not present anywhere else in the game.
Then after delivering the guns you go meet the doctor who lives in the middle of the town, and the fighting suddenly breaks out between factions. So now you have to get out of town with with infinitely respawning troops clashing with each other. AftePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

And this is what the escape from town is like.

And shortly after died normally in the open world in an absolutely most pathetic way. Was driving, got rammed by a car patrol, not even those two man trucks with machine gun, normal car with a single dude armed with rusty AK in it. He immediately got out and started shooting me, I didnt even know what was happening, switched to my cars machine gun, too late. Entire thing happened in like two seconds. Still no buddy rescue, so I am dead.
I dont know, this time I got too far to do it all again.

Piracy is a victimless crime and copyright should not exist in the first place, who cares is big tech will lose prophets.

>>45782
It's only a crime the same way jaywalking is a crime. IP laws are nonsense they aren't even consistently enforced or OpenAI wouldn't exist, so "crime" might be too charitative as a description

>>45486
Who the fuck downloads games from tpb? Rutracker, negro.

"Is it bad to pirate games"
No.
"If they are too costly for me"
Two times no.

Any independent developer who can not take the cost of production on the neck made the wrong business decision (speaking from experience). Of course, you should compensate them if you can and feel they deserve it. You do you.

Kojima is a fucking legend

Kojima hasn't made a good game since mgs2

Kojima is a pseudo and a proud one at one

Also the board is so dead OP could genuinely be dead by now

>>45773
>Also the board is so dead OP could genuinely be dead by now
True sadly

>>45793
Local posters dont play gaymes.

i have played both of the most popular games on luanti and they suck
hytale has had 8 years of financed full-time gamedevs working on it

>>45774
It's on the aur.
There's the zip linked in this json:
https://launcher.hytale.com/version/release/launcher.json
Can't figure out from my browser history how I found this, but that should work.
I ended up resorting to using the flatpak on NixOS though since steam-run wasn't getting the right GTK stuff.
>>45776
Luanti is fun too, but I like hytale for different reasons. It's more of a 3D starbound than a minecraft.

>>45779
>https://launcher.hytale.com/version/release/launcher.json
Thanks you very much for that link, I am on xbps so the AUR is out of the question
I wonder why they don't let linux users whi are quite techy on average download that. I hope they don't remove this json

>>45774
you vill run zhe appimage launcher

anyone wanna make a mod? my team is busy or wants to go each on their own so they don't have to split the prize even if they have lower chances to win it.

at this point prostitutes have more freedom than the average vtoober

The concept of the male gaze comes from Laura Mulvey in her 1975 essay “Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema.” Mulvey's work was based on the psychoanalytic theories of Jean-Paul Sartre and Jacques Lacan (pseudoscience). You are wasting your time on idpol baizuo garbage.

>>45769
So what specifically is your issue with her essay?

>>45754
This picture is inherently flawed because the only people who watch Gura and her current persona Saba are literal pedophiles who prefer the one on the right. Saba even got in trouble because she pandered to them with an exposed stomach emote and had to remove it after people rightfully pushed back.

idk i stay away from vtoobers as much as i can

I was just thinking how there should be more mecha fighting games
I know there's Cyberbots though I never touched that game

Do you guys use arcade sticks? Thinking of getting a leverless.

>>45742
After my hands started going out from using pad in Tekken, I looked into stick. Every lever stick I used I couldn't get a hang of. Eventually I got a leverless, but its essentially just a mechanical keyboard in a nice layout

>>43719
You can only play as Chinese characters
I was going to include Russians but Zangief worships Gorbachev

>>45742
I moved from stick to leverless and the adjustment period (a few days) was way faster than when I went from controller to stick (like 2 weeks). Leverless just feels like the best of playing on controller and stick to me but ymmv.

Once again, these games that blend genres usually have a central main genre that all the other influences from other genres are subordinated to. As an example, Final Fantasy games are clearly fantasy above all else, and themes from other genres that they might be mixing in are subordinated and made to conform the the overarching fantasy genre.

>>45364
What is up with that haircut?

I played like 4 matches before I got sick of it. The aesthetic and characters are bland as fuck and the game has forced upscaling that looks like blurry shit. The game feels like 3-4 different game modes mashed into one that doesn't work at all. You have to reinforce walls at the start of the round but walls are so easy to destroy it barely matters. You have to collect resources and you can tell the game was probably going to be a moba because you're riding around large empty space perfectly divided into 3 lanes you'd expect mooks to be walking in a line through. TTK is short and respawns are long so it's not uncommon for one time to wipe the other during the reverse CTF phase of the game and be able to plant it by the time they're back. Baffling this made it past playtesting.

>>45379
i suspect that the latest crop of live service shooters were original concepts that got stuck in development limbo during covid, it's just insane to me to keep pushing what has the skeleton of a hero shooter 5 years after it stopped being relevant, so they probably had a dead concept lying around, spruced it up with some redundant loot to sell it as an extraction shooter and hoped they could fortnite it into relevance

>>45727
>forced upscaling that looks like blurry shit
that's the new standard for the new "generation" of games,it's all DLSS and AI upscaling to make the game able to run even with the worst optimized textures in existence
so if you don't have 8GB VRAM ? enjoy putting it in potato mode
I'm glad I'm not the one who bought monster hunter wilds in our steam family holy shit

I'm only bumping cuz I accidentally bumped off your thread off page 1 after bumping other threads, and this board is slow so people will forget this thread without giving it a chance :)
never played an MMO in my life

>>45690
Thanks I guess, but you’re wrong. A lot of people here have played mmos

I really wish we would get a new WoW or FFXIV or something of the like.
I dabbled in a bunch of MMOs as a teen in the early 2010s but never got into the endgame, and it feels too late to rejoin any old MMO now…

>>45732
You’re not imagining it
It is

PvP in wow retail is dead over issues with over complexity and addon reliance. Pve is substantially way too difficult since raids function like dance rituals where a single member out of sync could jeapordize the plan of an entire raid group. Blizzard hasn’t done a lot to fix the issue and likely won’t. The only way to play wow these days is by having DBM/bigwigs, cooldown managers, community guided keybind configurations, damage indicators, and weakauras present to figure out at least 30% of what the fuck happens in endgame.

who keeps bumping old threads?

>>45694
It's either make a new thread or use an older one that already exists, both will "clog" the board in view or the other
The conundrum of using a slower board

>>45699

can i bump my displaced thread?

Xenogears is peak of you're into philosophy.

>>45729
Can you? You're obligated to. All threads deserve a second chance.
