Ah sweet, kiddieslop thread

The island has fallen…

Desperately trying to grow the male age 40-59 demographic with this pandering to video games that came out 25 years ago

I think it's more Konami trying to spark some interest in the franchise they killed in preparation for delta or whatever the fucking remake of Snake eater is called.

Based nuclear hellfire enjoyer.

The Fallout series definitely exists in a state of contradiction.

The story cannot continue to add value/be fun by simply signposting 50s conservatism's nostalgia for a non-functional self-destructive system. It must propose a better system and display the enemies of that improvement, their motives and tactics to subvert progress.

I think it would be interesting to see a USA based but Euro/Russia/China focused Fallout where their investment in renewables has permitted faster re-devlopment desired by all but at a cost of the people's sovereign right to be gangers and slavers. It could be 'domestic' east/west USA as well but the 'outsider' function is necessary. While more developed in tech and breadth than the NCR to provide a point of tension, some boxer rebellion type religious loonies still Wuxia it up in their mountains but these cannot support the kind of population and prosperity as the main bodies of society.

The principal tension should be between an NCR that actively loathes the idea of solar panel installation(etc) and 'chinese'/ 'yankee' aide regardless of if Euros or Yankees install it. Seeing a scramble by the liberal NCR to reinvigorate racism into law just to preserve it's hierarchy among it's puppet states would be great to see. World Tensions don't have to have the magic red/green/blue button to shut off the last nuke Mass Effect ending. There should be the option of actual overthrow of NCR leadership, a reform leader willing to invest and resolve the Class tensions with real substantive concessions unacceptable to the NCR royalty, and the fuck it we're just Chinese slaves burbling about the good old days like the Enclave bad ending. I can't believe we lost the war twice due to the same greed of the same minority of 'wealthy' people unwilling to share their wealth with their own people. War never changes.

Little red book fragments with actual Mao quotes would be great.
>"no investigation, no right to speak!" should be the first quote you find.

Side quests to 'Green Beret' East coast/Chinese right wing loonies into becoming BinLadens on NCR's dime would also be cool for the reactionary path.

Re-upping without transparency.

In 1998 the, 'everybody I don't like is a race' crowd was still pushing the whole, "Whites can't live here cuz Imma bigot' laws.

Covenants, like red-lining were laws to prevent the sale of real estate to 'certain people' in perpetuity even long after the death of the original owner. They have largely been ruled to be bigoted bullshit.

How does the boot taste, pseudo-scientist?

>What's wrong with feminism?
Gender essentialism and anti-individualism mostly. Feminism always views a woman as a female, not as a person. Feminist theories can turn into a dogmatic, zealotted worldview where people are reduced to simple stereotypes that do not apply to all men and women.

Basically, feminism shouldn't be your foundational belief. It rather should be a mere side-efect of your worldview like individualism say. If every individual deserves freedom then excluding women is hypocrisy. Same with Marxism actually: if you don't hold, say, science as more important than Marxism then how can Marxism remain scientific? That is the question.

The translation is poor. There aren't many errors, but you can tell it was made by ESL's. It got way too annoying for me.

Seems to play out like a modern version of Die By The Sword.
Janky fun :D

>>31796
Exanima is similar

Got any recommendations for RPG games heavy on NPC interactions? Im fine even if that interaction is mostly violent, as long as it is contextualized (i.e. faction A sends you to take out faction B), rather than just crawling thought dungeons beating throngs of mooks. You know, something like Bloodlines, Fallout 2, Planescape, that sort of vibe.

>>31741
lol I love how jank the inverse kinematics are

These actors are now capitalists. They suck from dead labor

>>33074
Burger "unions", not even once..The culture industry ones I heard even got bosses and shit, cannot expect much from them in particular but backstabbing their own members.

In the light of recent writers' guild and actor strikes, the film industry is now going in the direction of reducing labour force by any means necessary and unnecessary. My guess is that Replica in spite of its claims of being an "ethical" company will rob their donors of ability to get a job by the virtue of claiming exclusive ownership of their voices while paying them dimes, all the while the company and those purchasing their services will be getting most of the profit. Capitalists attempt to turn technology into a scourge against their labour force whenever chance to do so arises.

Probably they know trying to keep AAA from drinking the koolaid is a pointless endeavor, so now indies / maybe AA gain even more traction.

Using an AI voice to replace an actor is basically saying "the performance doesn't matter, just that you can recognize the voice." You can't give direction to an AI to read the line a certain way. But there are filters that exist that can take an existing voice clip and "convert" it to sound like another voice. This is probably what they're going to be doing, finding (non-union) voice actors to actually give the performance, and then filtering the recording to sound like a famous voice.

That said, if you actually read the article, it sounds like the point of this is to put protections in place to stop companies from copying someone's voice without their permission and denying them the opportunity to do the voice work themselves.

Worth noting here is that the SAG part of SAG-AFTRA is not a voice actor union. It's the Screen Actors' Guild. AFTRA is the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, which historically has covered voice acting. This move is to the benefit of celebrity screen actors and the detriment of voice actors, and is a further development in the tensions between those fields (and within the merged SAG-AFTRA union). Since Shrek came out pretty much there's been a big move to replace voice actors with celebrities for marketing purposes, so a lot of voice actors are big mad about losing work to be replaced with something that's usually noticeably worse.

We are seeing large scale layoffs in a lot of industries right now tbf.

>>33079
Yeah this is also a sign of the bad state of AAA games and likely to cause more drop in quality.

Good stuff.

how embarrassing

>calling management games capitalists
lol

what did OP expect? one of those "letter to GabeN" threads but we call him a bourgeois piggie?

>>33054
Is there any good games in the sale though?

I don't think OP should have been banned for this topic though

>>33063
now I wanna see the other image in that image that inspired him

nothing wrong with unrealistic armors but a lot of higher-tier ones look hideous.

>>26632
yes.

What hurts more about this than how goofy the armies look is how much less diversity there is

In real life there’s a multitude of variants and types of armours people wore throughout history that serves both mechanical and cultural reasons but in video games there’s typically a lot less diversity due to finding issues so not only do you get unrealistic or even hideous looking armour sets you also get a lot less to equip with a lot less variation between them

Still waiting for a game where the endgame armor isn’t some voodoo ultra dragonbone unobtamium but instead there is a system where buying second-hand or looting random armor and using it gives debuffs because they don’t fit the player properly, so the endgame armor is expensive and stronger because its tailor made for the character’s body.

A size system for clothing would be really interesting and that is only one of those reasons, maybe you play a creature that has four arms and it can only put on corresponding armor with either adequate space to hide your extra limbs or with extra sleeves. Some games have something along those lines already, but sizes of clothing or armor are completely ignored.

Imagine this, instead of developers being forced to push down prices of looted armor, making them unlootable from the enemies or even making those items underpowered for no reason at all just so that progression doesn’t go too fast for the player if they defeat a single strong enemy with good equipment they could make those pieces of armor clunky to work with because they are either sizes too big or too small causing them to be uncomfortable for the player body.

The worst sin of armor design if having no relation between form and function. Example from Dragon Age Inquisition: First photo is a light armor for mage (called Sentinel Plate), the second medium for rogues, and third heavy for warrior.

And kind of off topic, but I hate class restriction on how player character can dress. Like give it a stat requirement, or provide bonuses for specific playstyle, slapping on big red CANT BE EQUIPPED is so lazy.

Agree, update caused combat to be more interesting, infantry can’t hit shit just like in real life, suppresion became king again. Had alot of fun fighting over a single tree line with both sides being able to reinforce before getting bodied which caused the battle to be way longer than before, flanking the flanking party of the enemy while getting flanked, amazing.
