>they just get fucky with the animation (especially in honey select) because the skeleton are made to be the same size
How did this get past the QA department?

>>41246
because you can adjust the scene anyway to move them in place.
the animations are correct,they're just displaced if you make someone very tall with a hmm "short person".
it's also the fault of unlocking the sliders with mods most of the time (in CM3D2 for exemple)

Post in this thread every time you play a new game and rate it, I'll start, currently playing Dread Dawn, pretty jank and honestly not that good but I'm desperate for more zombie games to wait until PZ 42 comes out. 6/10.

I just can't enjoy these sandboxes where you "make your own fun". The closest game to that that I actually liked was Subnautica because there were clear goals.

>>42486
Play grounded

Fallout Shelter and Bloons TD6

Been enjoying tempest rising a lot, played through the dynasty campaign and just started the GDF campaign. Is fun ah, the music's really great too.

>>38413
How is that game? I've been itching for a ww2 shooter, don't want something too simulation or too casual either, something like isonzo is what I'd love. Hell let loose and squad 44 seem to be the best option these days.

I recently started playing Medieval 2 Total War. Finished Lithuania long victory in Teutonic campaign, and then installed SSHIP mod and started as Lithuania in grand campaign. I really like this mod, it mostly fixed the biggest gripe I have with all Total War titles, constant meaningless battles. Now troops take much longer to replenish and there are bunch of money sinks and speedbump mechanics, so oucome of individual battles carry much greater impact.

They made crash 4 way too hard that shit is not fun

I'm playing through a mod that removes all the extraneous gems and makes nverted mode optional. I guess the devs decided to lean as hard as they possibly could into the "dark souls of platformers" gimmick even though the og games didn't even have that "bullshit hard" reputation on release afaik

>Super Mario 64: huge open world, but you just run around in mostly empty fields
<Crash Bandicoot: very narrow hallways, tight and condensed field of play
I demand you explain these differing 3d environments in the context of neoliberal capitalist ideology

>>38295
not gonna waste my time listening to white trash drivel. altho crash 4 does suck.

>whole thread centered around some shitty video by some irrelevant youtuber
yikes


 

The show version is so bad. At least the video game version looked like she could actually scrap with mfs and had some semblance of actual humanity even while killing Joel. This version of Abby is just cruel and emotionally immature. The video game version of Abby literally didn’t derive any pleasure from killing Joel and didn’t take an eternity in killing Joel in front of his loved ones. In fact, game Abby even had to calm her own friends down to focus on the needs of her own people.

Amazon fucking butchered Abby and made her into a mindless knockoff meant to avoid whatever criticism coomers had about a woman looking like she could survive the shit she had to put up with. Fuck Amazon Abby.

I agree, tlou 2 is straight up discomfortable and unfun to play at times and that's great because it is completely in line with the story it's telling and that is in turn reinforced by what the player does in the game. I think a lot of gamers didn't understand that because they lack maturity and just expect games to be feel good fun.

The story was dumb and shitty to begin with.

>>42581
> I think a lot of gamers didn't understand that because they lack maturity and just expect games to be feel good fun.
uygha this is some premium level cope. Gamers reacted positively to shit like spec ops the line even though that shit was painful to play. Get your copebunga bs out of here.

>>42583
If you ignore the review bombing chinlet incels using this game as culture war battleground it was also well received although it generated more controversy because it was directed at a larger segment with more casual gamers. Players of spec ops didn't have years to attach themselves to a character only for a twist turning him into a war criminal schizo.

>>42583
Part 2 was pretty received actually even by its haters. Hell it was the most bought game even a month after launch. I don’t remember there being as much complaining over dialogue or scene writing in that game compared to the show. Most people were just piss mad over Joel dying and Ellie not killing Abby even if those actions made sense from a narrative standpoint—which makes sense given how many people loved Joel.

Why can't the industry (including competent developers) push the needle in terms of graphics past the peak that was achieved in the 8th gen despite 10x better hardware and performance?

Pic rel is Higgs from Death Stranding 2 from the same trailer
1st image is almost photorealistic with correct lighting, highly detailed textures, etc
2nd image is the same guy but with less detailed strands of hair, no accurate lighting, the bad ambient occlusion clearly separates the entire face from the hair and the textures are also low quality

I don't know if the first image and the majority of the trailer is CGI or not, but the second shot is very reminiscent of 8th gen games
It does not make sense that graphics still look the same despite all the advances in hardware, it can't be just lazy devs and long release schedules

it's dwindling for sure. voice actors often get overlooked in favor of known film actors and musicians. trained voice actors quite literally are not desired when looking for voice actors for more and more projects these days, and the voice actors that do get jobs tend to sound very samey and marketable. all of this really just leads to less people wanting to be voice actors.

why would anybody want to try and be a voice actor when it's obvious that the industry doesn't want voice actors?

>>41864
The metal gear solid games still look good. Less so mgs1, but 2 and onward still look good

>>42546
Replacing David hayter with kiefer Sutherland was a fucking mistake and Norm Reedus acts like a plank of wood in Stranding.

>>41853
bbc

Most of these answers are missing the point tbh, even if gamers don't want/aren't willing to pay for better graphics anymore there needs to be an explanation for why their tastes changed so quickly.
I don't care about realistic graphics either but I still think this is an interesting question.

How did we never get any good games out of this IP?

But also all the other cool animations tlou2 had like with flinching animations, injury animations, knockdown and recovery animations, takedown animations, acceleration animations, modularity to the procedural animations, bomb planting animations, enemy and body type variety with body-type specific animations, animated faces to give the characters… character or even the subtle gestures enemies in game had when searching for the character.

The AI always felt so real too. They’d search for the player instead of automatically knowing where they were and they always were on patrol.

The last of us part two was such a technological masterpiece. Everything in that game felt so alive and responsive.

>>40748
You're forgetting that TLOU2 had a budget of like 200 million USD, a total dev team of over 2000+ people and 14 different studios, and spent 6 years in development and even then had to be rushed out since you can obviously tell they wanted to make the entire game as big as Seattle Day 1 but ran out of time. Basically no one else in the industry besides other big league developers like Microsoft could sink that much money and time into something. World War Z only had like 100 devs total from a second rate studio (Saber Interactive) whose biggest claim to fame was helping port Halo games to PC.

>>40754
Dude it doesn’t take a lot to make a game super detailed regardless. Just look at Stalker and New Vegas , the modding community has been adding subtle details to make the games realistic for years with far less.

With the last of us 2, again the game was rushed but it was still functionally finished and polished on release. Outside of the animation and AI stuff, the game also had some of the smoothest cinematic transitions and legitimately unique combat mechanics that made it good.

The level of cooperation and skill the developers have matters far more than just the budget and manpower. Otherwise, flops like concord, starship troopers: extermination, and the forever winter wouldn’t exist despite their budgets and team sizes. I’d also just throw in how bad outsourcing is for game development when looking at Ubisoft.

>>40747
the world war z game had a gameplay update last December,it's still being worked on

>>40709
>overglorified point and click
no no. it was just a point and click. it was known for being a point and click telltale as a whole was known for making modern point and clicks.

you not liking the genre doesn't suddenly make it stop being a game.

we didn't get any other games because making a generic zombie shooter is tired and boring at this point. go play one of the other 50 options that all have the exact same gameplay and plot while the rest of us continue having fond memories of the one zombie game from the era that actually did something remotely unique.

One thing I’ve always appreciated about sci fi art direction is how “clean” everything feels. People wear tight clothing, space ships are detailed but have simple forms, and everything feels “civilized.” Except in GWs rancid art where everything is oversized, bulky, and dirty.

Any of the YA dystopia novels might count.
Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe comes to mind.

>>42501
Tbh I think it is inevitable people will be way cleaner and healthier in the future. It's just the law of historical development. In fact I think its likely people will just go naked, clothes might even be considered dirty.
>>42502
Star Wars, that Soviet film filmed in Kazakhstan where they go koo, the Expanse.

>>42516
You forgot the forever war

>>42517
That was such a good book, I think the best antidote to space marines and Heinlein. Did it have something about people going naked? I know everyone went gay in the future and then were kind of post-gender, that was cool.

>>42518
It has to do with the implications of prolonged war and the debt future generations have to pay in terms of their aspirations over it.
The main message of the war isn’t related to homosexuality, cloning, one race, hive mind collectivism, or even aliens.

It’s actually about the indescribably huge societal burden wars place on infrastructure, social progress, and scientific advancement.

Just look at the war in Ukraine. Two countries now spending trillions on a war that hasn’t seen a frontline meaningfully change in over two years. Millions have had their lives either destroyed or sentenced to work mindlessly for the war effort all while meaningful technological advancement has grounded to a halt everywhere except in military tech. Don’t forget, those countries could be building space colonies right now. Then there’s Sudan, then there’s Congo, then there’s Myanmar, the failed American expansion in Afghanistan, even the war on terror has costed humanity as a collective trillions EVERY YEAR.

Isn't the game completely without any DRM so you just need the files without a crack and repack?

>>42235

Whatever link on r/piracy works for me.

I think that game was only good on accident, like the first two Star Wars movies

The irony of a guy saying Morrowind was the only good TES while charging Oblivion fans with nostalgia lmao.

>inb4 Daggerfall was better

You guys think argonians would be really good at eating ass? They got long tongues and can probably open their jaws real wide too

After looking through several articles on estimates for ork numbers relative to the human population, there are several conclusions that I was able to draw
There are at least 1.6 quintillion humans
There are around 5 orks for every human or less
There are around 18 gretchin (grots, small orks) for every full sized ork.
Putting the numbers together, you get a green skin population of 152 quintillion which is… shockingly reasonable. Mind you, orks reproduce exponentially through leaving spores of their dead remains, but they also die rapidly from infighting and fighting other factions. Orks also have colonized every section of the galaxy, they hold control over around 123 million worlds given how robust and easily adaptable their technology is, and would technically be the dominant faction if not for the technological superiority of the imperium.


How the fuck aren’t they the strongest faction?

I liked the necrons more when they were just mindless killing machines rather than space Egyptians.

>trying to quantify this stuff in the 40k universe

>>42459
It’s not impossible. Actually it’s rather easy, just take sample data off military casualties and generalize the findings to all the known or estimated colonized worlds and you get some pretty accurate measures.

Most factions have between several dozen trillion to a few quadrillion life forms, have hundreds of thousands to millions of worlds conquered, and their power level scales from lunar level to large planetary (except necrons and dark mechanicum, those factions are solar system level at their peak).

I remember reading something about 40k and it mentioned some research ship that's been flying through some sector of the galaxy for centuries and the only thing it detects are endless orks.

>>42475
There are plenty of other books detailing that whenever the imperium tries to expand it keeps finding more ork colonies
