but what if you can make money smuggling artifacts for the west, have you considered that

I thought anarchists were retarded from going to their assemblies and having to watch them waste time discussing irrelevant shit but online ""anarchists"" are absolutely fucking worse.

Destroy the securitrons at the fort then, bleh

nah people just pick the NCR because it is obviously supposed to be a representation of the capitalism that they all love

Quite fond of it's recent art direction and the resulting fanart.

I was playing only Power Block DLC, + Morgenrote, Tech & Res, + Kuromi AI, but I don't think that made that big a difference.

I think a lot of the game as it stands is too much tedium and not enough to do. They've reduced the tedium by revamping the trade system so the computer can just automatically make the trade routes, which is nice. But still managing the economy is a lot of pointless tedium. Like an easy quality of life feature they could make, why is there not a global turn privatization on or off? I just toggle all my privatization on, on every building, but you'll find if you do that, you can have so much privatization quickly, it will overfill your max reserves and then you're just absolutely wasting money. So the best way is manually going through and toggling them on and off, but that is incredibly tedious.

Oh yeah and if you're playing a minor power, everything in war is about which great power will back you up or the enemy up, but there is no way to really no that until you get into the war preparation phase. So you have to savescum to figure out when a much stronger country will throw in behind this small territory you're invading, or when a group of small countries will all throw in with them. It's very RNG and just encourages savescumming. I used to do this playing RPGs where every attack is RNG with the savestate on emulators, and it just makes it like cheating. You can always 100% guarantee a critical if you savescum enough times. This game is really like that as well with how RNG it is.

Tbh, I'm still cautiously optimistic when it comes to tedium. Feels like Vic 3's development trends toward automating an increasing amount of econ mechanics so the player can focus on politics and diplomacy, which in turn informs the development of the national economy. Trade is a big one, obviously - I have a feeling some amount of autonomous PM management is next. In every case, I'm happy with each step the game takes since I remember the bad old days when there was no private construction pool (lmao)

What he is talking about is not flowey saving a friend for the sake of saving a friend. What he is talking about is flowey saving a tool (clover) so flowey could achieve his true goal, which is to get the souls.
This is not a redemption arc for flowey. This is instead flowey telling clover a half truth (asgore genocide plan without mentioning asgore wont do it) so to convince them to go to asgore. And then use that event as an opportunity to achieve his (flowey) true goals (get the souls)
This does not conflict with flowey goals at all. Flowey letting clover die is what conflicts with his goals since he's allowing a needed tool (clover) to achieve his goals, to die.

I finished this game yesterday. Did four routes: pacifist, flawed pacifist, genocide and neutral. I am surprised to see a thread for this game here so I am going to drop my thoughts completely unsolicited.

Before I started, people told me the characters were written much better than the original Undertale cast. What the fuck were they talking about? The game completely ignores Undertale’s metanarrative, probably because it would’ve been impossible to top, fair enough. Instead, it goes for a more narrative-driven approach, but the result is that it constantly lives in Undertale’s shadow. The original’s metanarrative is what made it incredible.
I struggled to care about the characters. Going pacifist first, all I could think about was how they’d react if I killed them. To be fair, the main writer was 16 when they started making Undertale Yellow, so they likely didn’t have much literature or life experience to draw from. The first character is some vampire guy whose name I’ve forgotten. He’s written like a socially inept, anxious teenager. Martlet in Snowdin? Same thing, also written like a socially inept, anxious teenager. No unique traits, no meaningful development. The game is missing date scenes or specific character interaction moments for growth like in Undertale.

Starlo was probably the one I liked most. His arc was simple but effective, despite being surrounded by a shopping cart of characters we’re apparently meant to see as our best friends. Why do the Feisty Five exist? Who even are they? They just become completely irrelevant 10 minutes after meeting with them.

Then the game shoves Ceroba at you. Sure, you hang out with her in the Steamworks and learn a bit about her, but then the plot dumps a whole heap of drama on you. Her daughter, her husband’s evil plan… honestly, I couldn’t bring myself to care. The writing nosedives at the end of Steamworks, just when it seemed like it might turn around. I thought we’d head to the lab, meet the daughter, maybe help her. Instead, Ceroba runs off to a rooftop and you get thrown into a FOUR-PHASE boss fight. The final phase uses Hopes and Dreams as a completely undeserved leitmotif.

The game tells rather than shows, to a painful degree. You get clunky flashbacks and constant cutscenes instead of subtle environmental storytelling like in Undertale. The Waterfall arPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

FACTS

currently replaying the game and have reached snowden. Read dalvs dialogues.
Reading the dialogues after knowing about the ending is a painful expirence. Reading how dalv values clover as a friend and how he hopes to meet him in his next birthday. Reading the shit about dalvs original friend (kanako) dissapearing one day. And remembering how ceroba is connected to these two things. Its reviving my negative feelings towards roba
welp lets see if my negative feelings continue as i replay the game. Or i will grow to forgive her

i used to be into 100% completion, eventually looking up guides for things i might miss. for smaller, decision-based rpgmaker games this experience can be bearable, because a lot of the time you know what you want but not what you're getting. i think most types of missable content are bad game design though: what's the point of something deliberately hidden so many players won't see it? i just want to have fun playing the game and not open a guide every few minutes or constantly feel like i just missed something. night in the woods, which i'm currently playing, is somewhat of a counter-example, where many interactions are optional yet the barrier to them being usually quite low.

>>42301
Just as capitalism is a social construct so is a bideo game running on made up rules that you can break.

Also manga/anime is the most pirated medium in the world, especially manga whose total consumption is 70% through illicit means (despite this it still surpasses American comics in sales lmao) crunchyroll shills are a small and loud minority that most people don't care about.

>cracked Minecraft
Microsoft removed ownership of everyone who bought Minecraft but didn't login during the right time. If buying isn't ownership, piracy isn't theft!

Kek but true

>If buying isn't ownership, piracy isn't theft!
I fucking hate this phrase even if buying gives you ownership who cares. If you want it for free download it for free (even if it's an indie) there is no need to justify it.

>>43386
Only a relatively small number of gamers actually know how to pirate though

>Get the fuck out. You know you aren't meaningfully reinventing graphics trigonometry in any way.
No, but graphics can be so much clearer and better directed than Blurry UE5 TAA Upscaleslop. Somewhere along the way epic and unity lost their fucking minds on what looks good and we all have to suffer the endless torrent of samey indie games with their insane defaults.

You can always disable whatever feature of the engine you don't want. But thanks for bringing it to my attention. I haven't looked into that enough.

Relatedly, UE has this HORRIBLE motion blur enabled by default. It looks especially terrible in 3rd person where you're going to spin the camera around the character frequently. Literally the entire screen blurs up, and on top of that it makes the game lag like crazy. I always see rookie UE devs leaving it on but I think most pros have the good sense to turn that shit off. I think some games have it as a selectable option in the graphics settings.

I think the biggest thing we need is to STOP USING TEMPORAL EFFECTS. If you can't do it in one frame with current hardware wait for faster GPUs. Let's say you want crisp ray traced specular reflections. Should be simple right? The hardware has been out for like half a decade. In unreal you have to fight with lumen by setting a fistful of variables and you're bringing out the big iron for one effect that's trivial to design your renderer around if you were writing it from scratch

You don't have to use Lumen.

Except they deprecated the ray-traced reflections without lumen. I was excited for rtgi in 2019, but now I want it to go away until it's not a smeary mess.

oh and the reason why it uses CS 1.5 is because it's the last gratis version of CS
