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.

Your mistake is looking for common sense in Warhammer.
You might as well try to look for common sense in Blame! or Skibidi Toilet.

Blame? Why that comic?

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.

One sentence rageslop threads like this should be a bannable offense.

Was he in the right?

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

Ya he's right but you can just convince the humans to let the ghouls in

>>38804
I mean ghouls are humans too lol. The ghouls ended up killing the inhabitants of Tenpenny Tower when you let them in. Was Roy Phillips in the right?

Finding out the ghouls slaughtered everyone after you finish quest peacefully is my favorite moment of Fallout 3. The one time the game has balls to pull the rug from under the player.

>>38802
He did nothing wrong.

So is PUBG a tactical shooter or an arcade shooter?

>>38789
>So is PUBG a tactical shooter or an arcade shooter?
Battlefield is more of a tactical shooter than PUBG is.

>>38790
But isn’t ping literally an arma mod like dayz?

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?

>why do the badguys look evil
I dunno. They are all just following the tropes set by A Boy And His Dog and Road Warrior and Zardoz, etc.

>>38765
>Why does every game artist do this?
Because it's fun to kill them (or beat 'em up). If petty criminals were more sympathetic it wouldn't be as fun.
>Even some of doom’s human enemies feel like caricatures of real people.
Yeah, that's weird, they're clearly just doing their job according to the game's plot.

I wouldn’t call stalker’s bandits to be sympathetic. Intimidating is a better word.

Tell me, which of these bad guys do you find easier to take seriously?

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.

>>37063
MK9 is superior to MKX in every way except the Crypt maybe, although I actually like MKX's art style, feels like the later PS2 MK games. MK11 and M1K are just so bland. And those mocap faces and combat animations…

>>38761
I loved the injury system of mk9. Made the game feel brutal

>>38762
Now imagine MKX but with some of MK9's features and none of the bs. That would've been so epic, that's what a sequel to a great game should have been. But it's like half of the entire studio was replaced or something. And then it's like it was replaced again because while MKX looked like an edgy game from 2005 MK11 looks like Injustice 2.

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.

Aylids were victims of Holocaust not perpetrators

Pelinal was literally ES Hitler

ES has always been about indigenous Elves being genocided, subjugated, raped and enslaved by settler colonialists humans (who are invaders from Atmora)

>>38701
They didn't commit genocide, but they enacted ethnic cleansing in Alinor.

>>38722
>aylids didn't do noffin
they openly treated humans like israelites treat palestinians and engaged in massive slave trades of them.
pelinal is the world's strongest third worldist.
ES elves colonized and genocided the races that occupied tamriel like the bird man, they, like the humans, don't deserve respite.

>>38742
Pelinal was literally Hitler and settler colonizing humans should've never left Atmora in the first place

>>38745
Thalmor hands wrote these words.

>online friends
Oldest one I still talk to is a leftcom, but we get along fine as long as I don't praise China too much around him.

Ex-friend is too much because we talk every six months or so, but there was a dude that was, like me, very into Metin2 at the time (it was my first MMO, and I assume also his, cut us some slack) and when we were younger he'd come over almost every afternoon and we'd just play the shit out of that. We reached a point in that game in terms of experience and game knowledge that I remember thinking nobody else in my life managed to get that much conversation and dialogue out of me, just discussing shit like where to farm certain drops or what to do in terms of bonus for equipment based on what we wanted to do. We were fucking wizards of that game, I dare say.

Yes, he'd come over to play an MMO. Sounds a little absurd, I guess. But that gave the whole thing a feeling much closer to a LAN party, though with only two players


>playing classic wow today
>deadmines pick up group
>run goes well, one of them says they're grateful for a good group because it's their wife's (the rogue in the group) first dungeon

well that's a new kind of pain

The Arizona mod has to be the best mod that has come out for the game in a long time.

For context, New Vegas’ map is unusually small. I’m the base game, only a third of region displayed is actually playable. What Nova Arizona does is add lore-friendly content to the otherwise unplayable sectors of the game. Nova Arizona is different from other world space mods.

Unlike the frontier or the DLCs, Nova Arizona’s map is seamless with the base game. You can walk from good springs directly to the new map without seeing a single loading screen. The legion also gets some long overdue representation in the game. Unlike in the original, you get to explore captured legion territory.

The mod doesn’t feel like a mod; it feels like a part of the base game.
