Marvel Rivals
Honestly, it's surprising that something like "Marvel Rivals" hasn't happened before. In retrospect, it seems obvious. A basic hero-shooter format, but with an established and expansive universe, with literally hundreds of variations for skins.

They don't even have Zack. And i know he's busy with smiling friends but he's kinda of a big part of Oneyplays. Chris also hasn't made any new animations in a while.

Blizzard used to keep world of warcraft (WOW) easy. Old WOW used to be simple to learn and simple to play. The progression system was easy, so was the combat, and the quests were simple to understand. For most players, the game wasn’t too competitive and it was easy to make friends.
Milsims like Arma and Squad still have that “easy to learn, easy to make friends” kind of appeal. Even the early soulsborne series had that “simple in design, easy to find fun” appeal despite what the masochists claimed about the souls series. Most AAA games released by blizzard and other high-ranking studios abondoned this approach to game design.
Blizzard catered to the hardcore players too much and made WOW hard. I’m glad that the devs are going back on most of the changes, but the damage and legacy is all still there. Multiplayer shooters are worse than ever. It’s basically impossible to get into any new multiplayer game without being bombarded with endlessly convoluted systems and a hardcore player-base. Gaming is so much harder now. Even games that should feel easy like path of exile 2 play as if I need a manual again to understand what’s going on.

How can this series shift from a grimdark survival horror to a kid-friendly coomerbait seemingly at the snap of a finger? It's more tonally inconsistent than Sonic games frfr.

I think it would be pretty easy to side with the latter out of frustration, especially if you're talentless like i am, but i think the idea that talent could be forcibly cultivated out of someone who never realized it before would be the "productive forces" argument.

Visual Novels
Im making a thread about VNs because there isnt one on the catalogue and i wanna talk about my experience. I just finished danganronpa 2, which im not certain counts as a VN or if it's a point and click murder mystery social deduction game, and i think im pretty confident to say that it presents a pretty interesting moral dilemma. On one hand, the hope faction is pretty clearly a technocratic organization who obsesses over "Ultimates", or people who possess immense talent in a particular field or study, for example the world's best scientist, or the world's best doctor. It is revealed in the story of goodbye despair that before despair took over, hope's peak academy created a method of artificially forcing someone to become extremely talented, which dialectically had the potential to equalize mankind and develop the talents of anyone, which would make the idea of meritocracy, or ruling over others due to better talents or knowledge, completely obsolete. Despair on the other hand spawned as a result of the mass movement of reserve students, malcontents who became disaffected with the idea that people with talent mattered more than the rest, since hope's peak academy was formed to research peoples' talents and how to cultivate them.I think it would be pretty easy to side with the latter out of frustration, especially if you're talentless like i am, but i think the idea that talent could be forcibly cultivated out of someone who never realized it before would be the "productive forces" argument.

I found that NPCs in most games tend to fail at finding cover in natural environments.
For context, game developers assign certain objects marks that tells an NPC “hey you can take cover here.” In gameplay, these markers allow NPCs to hide behind crates, cars, doorways, and other man-sized objects.
Now with terrain, normally there are plenty of hills, rocks, and depressions available for NPCs to take cover from. In Arma, players (hopefully) take advantage of these aspects to conceal and cover themselves during combat and patrols. In real life, there are entire systems dedicated to using terrain to cover oneself from enemy fire.
Now with most shooters, this basic feature is no where to be found. Yeah, even in milsims, I was surprised to find NPCs failing to recognize objects as simple as rocks as useful things to hide behind.
Why isn’t this something that is fixed in milsims right now. I can understand why this pathfinding feature may not be as common in arcade shooters, but for the more realistic games, missing something like this is a massive mistake.

Getting Started
Please consult docs/contributing.md for more information! it contains information on how to compile the project on both Windows AND Linux
Picking up where Open V2 left off
The goal of Project Alice (named after Alice Roosevelt Longworth) is essentially to create a new version of open v2 – my earlier project to create a Victoria 2 clone – and then to finish a working, feature complete, version of the game. This means that, at least initially, there will be few departures from doing things as Victoria 2 did them, simply to keep the project focused and on track. Once a 1.0 is complete, we can then use it as a playground for new experiments. As of July 2023, I have basically caught up to where open v2 was, minus some deficiencies in the ui.
I hope to find a few people to form an art team that can recreate the assets that Victoria 2 uses to give this project its own distinctive visual identity. I know that is a big ask, but on the other hand, there will be no 3d modeling required. We already have access to a set of new flags that we can use, courtesy of the SOE project.
In comparison to other projects
In comparison to SOE (Symphony of Empires) this project is a more direct Victoria 2 clone, while SOE is its own game. Nevertheless, I tend to think of it as a sister project. We do have some people here involved with both (I myself make the occasional suggestion there), and if you see something that we make that they could use, I am sure that they would appreciate the contribution. Likewise, we will be using at least some of their work.
With regards to the OpenVic2 project, although it "marketed" as a Victoria 2 "clone," that isn't what they are working towards creating. Instead, they intend to provide an entirely new set of assets, including events, decisions, etc., which will make their project more of a Victoria 2-ish game. It is also run with a very different managerial style. If you are interested in both Project Alice and OpenVic2, I suggest spending time with both teams or even joining both projects.
Licensing
All code produced as part of this project will be released under the GPL3 license (as was open v2). The license for art assets will be up to the art team, but I would prefer some form of Creative Commons.

How the hell does starship troopers not get way more shit
The book series is far more explicitly fascist than warhammer ever could be. Unlike the imperium, the Terran federation started off as a fascist organization and does not possess any of the art or emblems representing human history that war hammer has. There is no inquisition, there is only fascist police officers dressed in parsimonious uniforms. The Terran federation never establishes any diplomacy with any of the aliens it encounters. Unlike how the imperium learned to at least coexist with peaceful aliens, the Terran federation tried obliterating everything it saw. The federation doesn’t even use melee weapons that at least bring historical vibes and art. All you get are bombs, WMDs, and assault rifles.The bugs are even portrayed in a more biased manner than the other aliens. Anti-Soviet propaganda is everywhere in these books.

Simply put, I replaced most of the legion’s weapons with the 12.7mm submachine gun. For those unaware, this gun is one of the strongest guns in game, and it is used canonically by the Legion’s assault divisions. By having most legion soldiers use this gun, the legion stands a better chance against most factions, and fighting the legion feels much more fierce than a point and click experience against tribesmen with literal spears.
So why did I buff the legion? Well, I am trying to fix the gunplay, and I feel like I found the solution. My approach is to make guns stronger and more widely used. I believe that if most characters use guns, New Vegas’ gameplay should feel much more exciting. From the play tests I have, this idea holds up. Having more enemies use guns makes the game play more like a shooter. Coincidentally, the increased firepower also makes the game feel more representative of the lore.

The fundamental problem with all shooters it that they make shooting at an elevation too convenient. It doesn’t matter what game you play. Camping at a high elevation usually the safest option. Camping at these heights is also the least fun way to play and the least fun thing to play against.
For the perpetrator, the game becomes unengaging (unless you’re playing a game like sniper elite or hitman), and for the invaders, fighting against this playstyle can become frustratingly difficult. Games like DayZ, PUBG, and insurgency are notorious for this type of camping. Retro shooters like DOOM and Boltgun can be cheesed by playing like this in nearly all levels. You get the idea, this problem is not fun to deal with.

The only other good versions of these games are the OG releases (Sonic Adventure International, Team Fortress 2 Beta, Super Smash Bros Melee). But why play the OG releases when the mods provide so much more? And that is only scratching the surface. If the game is FLOSS then it's even easier to remaster it, look at Doom or Quake or Friday Night Funkin'.

3ds is better than Switch
Yes the Switch is technically better however what is the Switch really? It’s basically a soulless tablet with joysticks. The Nintendo 3ds actually feels like a genuine soulful Gameboy. Such a shame Nintendo discontinued it. The Switch is just too big and doesn’t capture that portable Gameboy spirit. If you don’t own one I would get a 3ds asap. You can get the XL version for $200. It’s the best version. If you can’t afford that the regular smaller one is cheaper. They are a discontinued console now so prices will only go up. I would buy a 3ds before they are too expensive.

I don't know if this fits here, but I've been thinking of console wars, My theory is that the breakdown of both the nuclear family and the nation state has led to individuals seeking out tribal loyalties from the only places guaranteed not to turn them down: companies selling a product that want their money. Same with sports. Rather than having a tribal affinity with your family/hometown/nation/people, this instead gets redirected to rooting for this squad of steroid freaks recruited from all over the country over this other squad of steroid freaks recruited from all over the country because the nearest major city has them playing at McBankTM Stadium, Thing is, with a few exceptions, I don't think it's artificially induced the way /pol/ does. I think it has arisen naturally out of the decline of important institutions of belonging: people are naturally reaching out, and like a kid trusting a man offering sweets, they are not necessarily doing so very intelligently.
The apogee of this within gaming was the console war of the mid-2000s. Trump hate is as nothing compared to Sony versus Microsoft. I know this stuff is ancient, like the Byzantine Riots over the coloured chariot racing teams, but I can't help but notice how most of that stuff occurred in the pre-modern era, before nations, religious institutions and families were really crystallised in full. Something needs to be done about this, we can't keep atomising forever.

Introducing symbolic linking! With this one neat trick you can basically create shortcuts to folders that your computer will treat as if it is the folder itself. So you can move any folder to another drive, and when the application is looking for it on the C drive, it will automatically be redirected to it's location on the other drive as if it was still on the C drive.

I’m assuming real force vectors are used in this update because the current procedural weapon animations play out in a way that feels responsive to the players movement and inputs rather than being predetermined like in other shooters.
Squad ICO
For those of you unaware squad is a tactical shooter like arma whose main focus for its gameplay is its infantry combat. Recently the developers launched a controversial but cool update called the infantry combat overhaul or ICO. The update brings realistic recoil physics, depth of field of effects to simulate the eyes focusing on certain objects, altered ADS time, improved weapon inertia and a lot of other QOL features. This update was controversial for the amount of things changed, more specifically changes away from being an arcade shooter to reaching closer towards a simulation of real infantry level combat. I think it was a good update, it brought a lot of new ideas to what FPS games can be and currently the game plays as if your actually controlling a person and not two floating hands with a hitscanned gun, adding another layer of depth to the gameplay.I’m assuming real force vectors are used in this update because the current procedural weapon animations play out in a way that feels responsive to the players movement and inputs rather than being predetermined like in other shooters.

I think a lot of people tend to forget that the imperium is neither a centralized authority nor a federation. It’s a horribly decentralized, disorganized, and mismanaged confederation of star systems that works to keep several species of humans alive.
Reminder, the great crusade was never finished because of the whole ‘Horus has some daddy issues’ thing. This also means that there are hundreds to dozens of thousands of human worlds that exist outside of the imperium’s control. Some may not even be in the Milky Way.
It also doesn’t help that most of the planets that did get annexed were never stabilized after the civil war ended. Most human worlds are still recovering from the effects of the age of strife, and the imperium has been largely absent in directly managing these planets. The only real thing the imperium does is collect taxes, kill secessionists, and fight aliens and or demons. That’s it.
Ignoring that basic responsibility, most of the imperium is left to whatever it has. The imperium doesn’t really have any ability to actually do much for its citizens. Most people rely literally on feudal lords, walled cities, slavery, religious communalism, and serfdom to survive the aftermath of the age of strife and the existential threats of the galaxy.

There are three mods that restore most of the original game’s cut content:
Nova Arizona will allow the player to access the other half the map that was cut in the original release
Dry Wells will allow the player to access the cut location of Dry wells that is only accessible after completing lonesome road
Long 16 also allows the player to access a cut location that was repackaged as DLC
These three mods together almost triple the size of the games map, and they make the game feel full. Check em out.

I’m glad that the developers took a strong stance away from this idea, but there’s another thought that’s been on my mind. The authors can recognize that pain is permanent.
For context, a lot of games, shows, and movies tend to feature tragedies, traumas, and other events that cause pain as reversible. Hell, physical regeneration from immediate injuries or even resurrection is commonplace throughout franchises like deadpool, warhammer, and other mainstream slop.
The last of us’ developers treat pain as permanent. Even if the forces that caused the suffering are removed, the effects and the legacy of the pain itself never go away or fully leave one’s life.
In part 3, Ellie isn’t going to come out any less broken than she did by the end of part two. If her ending is retconned, it’ll feel completely half assed. How the fuck do you even approach such an idea. So many people in her life are dead, so many hopes were crushed, and so much hasn’t changed. Even if her physical condition improves, what am I saying, it won’t.
The third game is going to be intense. I don’t think anyone is going to be ready for the loneliness in it.
Pain is permanent and Ellie won’t fully heal
I want to talk about an idea that’s been on my mind. A lot of people came into part 2 waiting for wish fulfillment.

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.
gunfights in warhammer shouldn’t have tracers
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.

The real reason Black Myth Wukong didn’t get game of the year
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.

Recovery frames made mkx fast
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.

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.

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.

Best new Vegas mod, no best fallout mod period
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 GDI is depicted as a multinational high tech military force aimed at "maintaining global stability" and countering terrorism - an idealized portrayal of NATO-like organizations. The Brotherhood of Nod, under Kane's leadership, represents a decentralized, guerrilla-style force often associated with anti-establishment or insurgent groups. This could be seen as reflecting Western anxieties about non-state actors disrupting the international (i.e. capitalist) order.
Nod is depicted as a quasi-religious, revolutionary movement that recruits heavily from impoverished and politically unstable regions, presenting itself as the voice of the oppressed. However, their methods of terrorism, mass manipulation, and fanaticism paint them as a dangerous and chaotic force. This characterization can be seen as dismissive of legitimate grievances that might drive revolutionary movements in the real world, reducing them to caricatures of violence and tyranny. Nod’s focus on harnessing Tiberium, a resource with both destructive and transformative potential, mirrors resource conflicts in the Global South.
Essentially the narrative is that those from these regions cannot responsibly manage resources without endangering global stability.

African pmc simulator is cozy
I’m playing far cry 2 with redux+ realism and I’m amazed by the level of immersion and sense of control I have over my time with it. The mod fully disables all in-game features to assist the players availing to navigate the map meaning your paper map and some screens showcasing your location is all you get to figure out where to go. I’ve navigated my way through several missions off my own accord, having to learn to be patient with outposts, run the fuck away from anything that looks like trouble and fight with barely any ammo is such a unique experience you can’t create in so many games. The world itself even without mods is beautiful and every hour I spend playing makes me feel like I’m genuinely apart of it, something you wouldn’t typically get from a non roleplaying game.

I played Pluto and the space faction because I am Zeon's strongest soldier and was really satisfied with the ending. I can't play different endings of VNs because it feels wrong so idk how they are like, maybe I will play one of the other characters like the really unlikable and completely like loads of people in my life character Saturn, and then go with the space faction because I don't want any other ending.
Heaven Will be Mine
Did anyone play this visual novel? I actually liked it a lot, yes it felt like it was written by a 17 year old but it worked. I liked the characters, they are very flawed and often a bit unlikable but by the end I came around to liking them. The story makes sense and is kind of good but it doesn't tell you what's happening at the beginning. Like it's kind of obtuse and difficult to understand who is who, what their relations are to each other and what the factions even want, but it explains it all to you at the end. It is a very idealist game though.I played Pluto and the space faction because I am Zeon's strongest soldier and was really satisfied with the ending.

Going to be honest I hate MMOs, every one is reactionary. Unfortunately having friends means you have to play it.
FF14 is racist
Why do you have to fight all the different races gods? Like in this game if you are non-human and ugly you are evil. You have to destroy all these different cultures but then you have to side with the obviously evil Ishgard. I don't want to do it though, I want to help the bandits, heretics and non-human tribes.Going to be honest I hate MMOs, every one is reactionary.

Part of why the tau struggle so much with the orks and the tyranids is because they fight even more obnoxiously than Americans. The tau are too reliant on range, stealth, and expensive-as-fuck equipment to win most of their battles, but struggle to commit to building fortifications that can ensure their expansion. The results of such nearsightedness include the Damocles crusade, literally any exchange with the Orks, getting their asses beat by generic basilisks, and more. It’s no surprise knowing that when tau forces try to take a fortified imperial world, all victories end up being more devastating than the phyrric victories the guardsmen deal with when up against heretics.
Tau players online are even more fucking obnoxious. Their entire beliefs and reliance on tech reek of ignorance of the importance of fortification and the logistical constraints of conventional war. It’s almost as bad as the rhetoric spewed by amerisharts that boast of their military’s technology while endlessly whining about getting their asses beat by insurgents.

Tau players are obnoxious
Napoleon once said something important about the vulnerability that follows after any military victory. I don’t remember the quote. However, the meaning of it was simple. Territory won must be secured. What most tau players—and by extension, most people—tend to fail to understand about war is that there’s more to conquest than killing. It’s not enough to simply harass opponents with endless artillery fire and air strikes. If you can’t fortify the land you’re fighting on and can’t build a logistics system to secure it, then you might aswell have conquered an area covered in mines.Part of why the tau struggle so much with the orks and the tyranids is because they fight even more obnoxiously than Americans.

<hurrr but who would work without profit motive???? you ever thought about that commie?
where fans have for one reason or another put in a great deal of time and effort to maintain or recreate digital experiences.
For example, I stumbled on some videos for a fan recreation of TIE fighter which, from the clips of it, looks really neat. It seems like video related is a mod based off of another mod for the million year old X-wing Alliance engine. I need to look further into it and see if it's built off of the original game, or its own standalone deal meant to mimic it.
Then there's also Tamriel Reborn that seems like it isn't just a remake of the original, but actually expands on the original Morrowind, I guess to add back in all of the content that had to be cut. Apparently they've been going at it since 2001.

In real life, people move far less often and far more predictably in gun fights. Most people tend to stay generally still when shooting and only change positions when an opponent has lost sight of them or if they’re fleeing suppressive and or open fire. Game developers have much more to gain by programming NPCs to behave realistically. After all, shouldn’t programming such predictable behaviour be piss easy?
Random pet peeve about NPCs in shooters
I don’t know how, but most video game developers tend to program NPCs the same way in shooters. NPCs all have a tendency to move around in random patterns when shooting a gun and they seldom seek cover.In real life, people move far less often and far more predictably in gun fights.

Have you played it? It seems to be really popular.

Souls games are the most overrated garbage ever and a cancer to gaming
These games are just awful. They are in the same category as games like Fortnite or Overwatch in their cancerous influences on the gaming industry. “Soulslike” games are soulless garbage. They are not “hardcore” either. Every single normalfag streamer plays these games. It’s like the same popularity as Call of Duty. You see the cancerous influence of Souls in new Star Wars and Zelda games where your character moves like a slow fatass and you have to deal with this retarded stamina meter. These games fucking suck. We already had difficult sword fighting games like Ninja Gaiden and Shinobi but these faggots act like Souls is some innovative masterpiece when it’s a steaming pile of garbage. What about the artsyle of these games? It’s boring as hell. This loner knight shit is really getting old now. All these games look exactly the same. I’m so sick of this shit.

This video is analogous to the type of conflicts being fought. Everybody fighting in the soon-to-be wastelands of earths we’re using ranged weapons and vehicles across thousands of kilometres. Nukes both handheld and towed were being detonated non stop until most of earth became an irradiated hellscape. Artillery craters line every square centimetre of ground.
Based off this video, imagine the lore-accurate destruction going on at Hoover dam. NCR troopers armed with assault rifles, machine guns, artillery, trucks, and mini nukes casually blasting off at endlessly at the legion. The legion’s soldiers are also all equipped with 12.7mm machine guns, mini nukes of their own, slave armies armed with rifles, and an unholy supply of bombs being dropped. Even then, nothing amounts to the devastation caused by artillery fire and missiles being launched by the boomers behind the NCR’s frontlines.
It’s a miracle knowing the NCR even exists at times. Fallout isn’t a story about nuclear warfare. It’s a story about the noticeably worse devastation that modern warfare brings to both civilization and humanity and large.
This video reminds me of how horrifying fallout really is
The nuclear war by itself in fallout isn’t what made the planet shit.

Your brain plays with the information it has available. Video games are an easy ways to abstract movement outside the body while the physical form is still. You can wake up in a dream in a near sleep state, and imagine your computer monitor in front of you running your favorite game or program and lucidly dream your way into browsing digital cyberspace that way. It can get pretty metal though, easy to lose yourself into the illusions. Make sure you remember to look away from your monitor when you want normal dreams again.
Every once in a while I dream about Dark Souls again. Often it's nothing present in the games, but like completely brand new bosses, and it's like I'm actually doing all this shit I just see it from a third person perspective as if I was playing the game with the same mechanics and all lol
Is it normal to dream and vidya

It both says a lot and a little of your minds patterns.Your behavior is driven and oriented towards your interests, rather than towards the interests of a collective unless you specifically can see some return/value.Your brain plays with the information it has available.

1. Leon is a faggot in this game. He is badass in Resident Evil 4 but in this game he is like 14 years old.
2. Backtracking. The entire game takes place in a very small area you will be running back and forth a thousand times over trying to figure out what to do or what door you can now access. There will be times where you will be running around for 20 minutes trying to figure out what to do. Most game devs have progressed beyond this retarded game design but they wanted this game to suck ass like the original so they kept this feature in.
3. Very limited ammo. You have to run past 3/4 of the enemies in this game because there is almost no ammo. This wouldn’t be a problem however the annoying part is you will be running past these same enemies over and over again trying to figure out wtf you are supposed to do to progress the game. You would think that they would at least make the enemies less difficult given the fact extreme lack of ammo but no the game will throw hoards of difficult enemies at you and you can not kill even 1/2 of them without completely running out of ammo. Also you are literally in a fucking police station so you’d think there would be more then ten bullets laying around. The average American probably has more bullets in his house than the entire RPD which has a Swat team.

Bolt guns are special in the sense that they really aren’t fictional. These weapons are just a look into what weapons could look like in the near future, which only makes me appreciate what we have in the present so much more.
It’s kind of scary knowing how realistic bolt guns are
The idea of a gun that fires self-propelled rounds being a common weapon is shockingly realistic. There are plenty of real world examples of guns that meet that description well. Gyrojet guns, recoil less guns, and milkor variants have been proven to fire self-propelled bullets. Some have even been used in small instances in war. Hell, the us army at once banned a proposed bolter-like patent over the weapon’s potential lethality.Bolt guns are special in the sense that they really aren’t fictional.

GTA 6 will be complete garbage just like every other gta game. How does rockstar keep getting away with selling you losers the same product over and over again? You're nothing but mindless consumers who literally buy anything as long as its hyped. There is no good taste to be found anywhere near you, you're casual bad taste havers that continue to aid the downfall of gaming. We need more real gamers such as myself with great taste such as myself that won't support trash like this.

Don’t take the DLC the wrong way. The level design is solid, the scenery both communicates a sense of scale and the player’s destination, the normal spawn points are well placed, the new weapons are fun to use, the enemy types are cool, and the difficulty feels appropriate for a DLC in most sections. However, the game is the FPS equivalent to dark souls 2.
Some enemy spawns are completely cheap and are meant to kill the player randomly. The purge levels take ages to complete given the enemy spam and how many waves the player has to fight through. Most fights are multi fights that leave little room for cover. Finally, the set design is discontinuous, which causes the same staggering feeling you’d get when transitioning between levels in dark souls 2. It’s so fucking brutal, dream-like, and long in areas where it shouldn’t be. I’ve had to spend almost an hour shooting from the same dumbass spot or running around for dozens of minutes just to get through some levels. I’m glad the devs learned a lot about level design from the first game, but it’s a shame that they didn’t realize that more enemies != harder and more fun game.
Suprisingly more fun than half life 2 when it’s working.
I want to like the bolt gun DLC
However, the DLC is so fucking brutal man. I’m playing it on the highest difficulty and the average level takes like 45 minutes plus to complete. The reason isn’t even because the game is genuinely hard; the problem exists because of the enemy spam.Don’t take the DLC the wrong way.

Yes the world of fallout (especially 4) is broken down, but the games really don’t capture what being broken down looks like. The ruins of settlements and logistics infrastructure should litter every meter of ground. Weapons should be advanced but always in a near broken state. Makeshift weapons and equipment should be rare given how much wealth was left behind by the humans of the old world.
I think the capital in fallout 3 got this feeling right the most. The city creates the same feeling as walking through post war Aleppo. The capital gets all these ideas right. It’s urban, but ruins, trash, and corpses litter everything in your sight; weapons are advanced but most of them are breaking down; and there’s always a pervasive feeling that you’re exploring a once great civilization no matter what part of the capital you’re in. You never get that feeling of stagnation and despair when exploring through the slums of the stadium, the villages of the first two games, or even in any of the clips of the Fallout TV show. I don’t think any other post apocalyptic game got that feeling right…
The survivalist rifle has me thinking
This weapon represents what all post apocalyptic games should be about, decay. The survivalist rifle isn’t a bad weapon, it isn’t a unique weapon either. Rather, the rifle is a useful tool that’s been battered by the degradation of the society that made it. This idea of decay should have been present everywhere in fallout. Fallout feels too ‘clean.’ Even in the originals, there was a pervasive feeling that the world was comically ruined while all the technology that was left behind is in a comically useful state. The inverse should be true.Yes the world of fallout (especially 4) is broken down, but the games really don’t capture what being broken down looks like.

Immortalizing chaos prevents any faction from ever making the galaxy safe even with the introduction of blackstone devices. All sentinent beings are now doomed to have their souls trapped forever in the warp upon death, and face eternal torment by chaos during their life. It’s not like big E wasn’t warned about his actions causing the eradication of all life in the galaxy. People fucking told him repeatedly that there would be a galactic civil war followed by galaxy-scale omnicide if he kept pushing for the web way project. The fucker also doomed any chance of humanity’s potential growth away from the abomination that it is in his endless imperial wars. It doesn’t matter if Guilliman overcomes era indomitus. Now the entirety of the galaxy is genuinely doomed to never get better, and it’s all this asshole’s fault.

The single biggest mistake this asshole made was immortalizing himself with the powers of chaos. By taking chaos, he immortalized the corruption of the warp. Every intelligent species is doomed because of this asshole. Human or not, every fucking organism in the galaxy has a valid reason to hate this motherfucker and want his empire raised to the ground.Immortalizing chaos prevents any faction from ever making the galaxy safe even with the introduction of blackstone devices. All sentinent beings are now doomed to have their souls trapped forever in the warp upon death, and face eternal torment by chaos during their life. It’s not like big E wasn’t warned about his actions causing the eradication of all life in the galaxy. People fucking told him repeatedly that there would be a galactic civil war followed by galaxy-scale omnicide if he kept pushing for the web way project. The fucker also doomed any chance of humanity’s potential growth away from the abomination that it is in his endless imperial wars. It doesn’t matter if Guilliman overcomes era indomitus. Now the entirety of the galaxy is genuinely doomed to never get better, and it’s all this asshole’s fault.

I don't like cozy games or games that are to aesthetically "cute". I'd rather spend my time on a game where I can be a cool military soldier (even if the genre sometimes could be propagandistic). Or anything with a power fantasy in it like Doom or Elder Scrolls. My kind of escapism is typically action oriented, and this stuff just doesn't fit me or my self perception. Stuff that's realistic is more for me.
I can see the appeal of relaxing games though.

What a dissapointment. I love Gris, it is one of my favourite games to this day. It made me cry just by art and sound. This is nothing like Gris. It's a boring action game about… a dog? I don't know what it's meant to be about. Nothing in this game affected me emotionally. Oh wow the dog grows up and then dies, who'd have seen that coming when the game is set in four seasons and the dog is growing up really fast over the year. The evil virus humans make no sense, what are they meant to represent? Industrialism? Covid? I have never cared less for a dog in a video game, and I am speaking as someone who does not care about dogs in video games or in real life. It is just mediocre art, not saying it shouldn't exist just that its bad and I hate how everyone seems to love it. These games are always extremely popular. Make one about a rabbit and then maybe I'll care. R: 1 / I: 0

Dumbass game design detail only I would care for
You know how in DOOM, the guns were all kept cantered on the screen? Well in real life, you’d actually want to keep a gun closely centred in your vision when left unholstered. Such a placement ensures that if for some reason you end up face to face with someone that’s hostile you can immediately shoot without worrying over a delay in your ability to aim. Never understood why more milsims and quasi realistic shooters all universally adopted this weird as fuck offset in each gun’s neutral position.

I had to compare how the game would play if all humans were given decent assault rifles and shotguns. With only that change, I saw a drastic improvement in the gameplay. Suddenly, the game felt much less slow. The enemies stopped being pushovers, and VATS became useless. The solution seemed so simple. Just give the enemies in a shooter weapons they shoot with. However, seeing the principle’s application made me realize how badly designed fallout is.
Fallout should have assault rifles be made a common weapon. Armed humans should also be the most common enemy throughout all the games. It’s against the lore for creatures to be so anyways. Additionally, most creatures are too slow to ever be a threat to the player. Only the deathclaws and cazadors are fast enough to harm the player consistently. In comparison, dogs from Stalker are capable of killing experienced players. These flaws may sound small, but they’re felt in every aspect of gameplay. Simply addressing them does make the game more fun and more accurate to the lore.
New Vegas—and by extension the rest of Fallout—doesn’t really need sprinting, ADS, leaning or any other FPS mechanic. The RPGs just need to respect the fact that they are also shooters. Additional changes to the game design like making maps comfortably large enough to shoot in, replacing creature spawns with humans, and adding more urban areas all contribute to making the shooting aspect of New Vegas much more enjoyable.

Melee in sci fi is so fucking boring
All sci fi games should be shooters. Melee isn’t just conceptually stupid, it’s also just fucking boring. If the game developers are making a game set in the future, they should feel comfortable with introducing modern and futuristic weapons. Laser rifles, gravity guns, portal cannons, artillery, nukes, missile launchers, energy shields, drones, mechs, and more are all way more fun options. There are so many creative and underused weapons in futuristic shooters. The fucking dogmatic push for shitty weapons to become standard in futuristic games like destiny, fallout, and borderlands is so pointless.I want a weapon like the gravitational beam emitter from blame, or the javelin from anthem.

Unlike its predecessors, the NI does away with the dogma of the former imperium. Instead, this group hastily works to adopt all the technologies mankind currently has in mass. Surveillance and monitoring systems are so prevalent that any member of the NI can monitor the oxygen saturation levels of all its citizens at any time. The corpses of the fallen are used to nourish the embryos in vitae wombs until nearly the entire human population rebounds. However, this generation of man is equipped with sensors and connections to a wider internet that can be accessed by any of NI’s members. Information about the atrocities the soldiers and citizens under NI face is used to channel frustration and anger to all the forces of chaos, heretics, and aliens that roam the stars. Humanity’s history is taught again, but only to strengthen the interest of the organization. The age of strife is taught as a gift from NI to save humanity from alien caused extinction, the heresy is treated as a dark age caused by the emperor’s conquest over humanity, and the emergence of NI is taught as a gift to return to greatness. Within only a few years, nearly all of humanity is so heavily indoctrinated, monitored, and exploited that all signs of heresy is ultimately eradicated. Even the NI’s members aren’t able to develop any critical thought against the current progression of the new imperium. Naturally, the members of NI slowly but inevitably become fully proletarianized by the remaining members of the imperium. What drives the new imperium now is species-level hysteria and information systems dictating what the empire must accomplish. Man becomes totally enslaved to its own ideas.
Ultimately, the wars of the future become even more scary. Alien corpses are brought back to newly formed hives to be publicly mocked and shamed. Trillions of humans are spread out to new worlds to completely excavate and build new fortifications. Although technological progress grinds to a near stop, the adoptation of already existing imperial tech is used to create wars of scale and attrition analogous to the wars of feudal china. The space marines, custodes, arbiters, all those groups of special forces become utterly worthless in the face of what humanity becomes.
There truly is no way out. There is nothing to feel hope for. It’s likely that all alien life will be completely annihilated with the strength and numbers the imperium possesses at the level it is at. However, there is no way to save humanity or really intelligent life in general from ever progressing again. Inevitably, maybe thousands or millions of years, humanity dies as the last remaining living species in the wider universe. Untold numbers of planets remain shelled into oblivion, and galaxies remain empty with no sign of intelligence to ever form again.
Let’s make the imperium genuinely nightmarish
Let’s say that something within the empire just fails. The emperor simply gives out completely, but the astronomicon stays intact. Wars break out, but somewhere down the line, the inquisition and mechanicum find themselves to be in complete control over the wider imperium. Former planetary governors are replaced with members of the mechanicus or inquisition. Additionally, another war breaks out that makes these two factions merge into one single organization. Let’s just call this organization ‘the new inquisition’ or NI for short.Unlike its predecessors, the NI does away with the dogma of the former imperium.

(Halloween thread) What would be a perfect Amnesia game for you?
I would give the protagonist some limited weaponry (think about pickaxe and dynamite from first Penumbra game, and of a gun you have for one part of SOMA), but would both make them extremly limited and punishing to use offensively at the cost of protagonist's sanity (killing the monster looks and feels so gruesome it gives you sanity damage), so that it should be impossible (at least for an average player) to simply "kill everything in your path" and stealth gameplay is still the primary part of the game.
Add an ability to "lay down and pretend dead" that can be used to make the monsters ignore you, but can only be used for a short time (proportional to your sanity level).
Add more ranged enemies and enemies walking on ceilings, attacking you from above (Rebirth has both already, however its ranged enemies appear only at the end of the game, and ceiling-walking enemy is actually a fakeout who is only a harmless scripted cinematic)
Add a little bit of non-linearity (At minimum, there should have been multiple paths to progress forwards and the secret rooms you can miss on first playthrough, at maximum… look at the Dark Descent custom map "Fleeing Brennenburg" to see how the non-linear structure can potentially work well in an Amnesia game) at the cost of the game's story being a little bit shorter than Dark Descent (roughy comparable to "What if there were no Agrippa and instead you get to Alexander soon after the sewer level?")
Add at least one puzzle using the sanity mechanic (e.g. there is a mystic object you can see only on low sanity and thus you need to lower your sanity by… eating a psychedelic mushroom or something)

Undertale is primarily a commentary on the ways people approach media. Genocide route, in that context, is a response to playing through games in the increasingly prevalent mechanical and consumptive way. While there's enough in there to support Toby exalting authorial intent, I think he's noticing trends in the ways people approach games (consumptive and completionist), but hasn't really diagnosed the cause, which is why he condemns the player for playing through genocide (or choosing to see it without playing themselves) as a personal failing rather than getting at things like the culture industry or trends in game design and marketing that encourage that kind of approach. As not a great fan of authorial intent I still see a lot of value in a game (or anything really) having the guts to resist people who only want to engage with it in a boring or distanced way.

Starship troopers extermination has shockingly less issues than helldivers 2
Apparently the game is doing pretty well for its launch despite its menu and performance issues. The games developers also fixed most of the problems I identified in my previous ST thread. Also there are permanent corpses like in the original DOOM, so now the game genuinely feels realistically brutal. Can’t wait to see where this goes.

I hate Warhammer
I hate all of it. The fans, the retarded looking oversized armor. Most of all I hate that it’s heavily focused on the American military. You never get to play as the Russian orcs or anything. No you always play as the US marines. Because it’s meant to be pro us military propaganda. Just like Starship Troopers hides behind fake bullshit “anti war” veil that doesn’t mean anything because it’s still a pro us military movie. Do you get to play as the bugs in the Starship Troopers game? Nope. Yeah it’s all chinlet us military propaganda. Same with that gay Helldivers game.

This is an honest question btw. Does anyone here that has a background with digital and tabletop games actually understand this shit?
Why don’t game authors consistently give demons armour and weapons?
Aren’t demons (well the Christian or Nordic ideas of demons) used in most games representations of human violence and anger? What better way to represent that anger than by consistently giving all demons in gaming weapons and body armour. You’d think games a lot about demons like diablo, World of Warcraft, Doom, Quake, the entirety of the souls borne series and the elder scrolls series would get this right. However, games like warhammer fantasy, and the Doom reboots to a small extent end up portraying demons less as nudists with big claws and more as murder-obsessed barbarians.This is an honest question btw.

Vat people
You (probably) know how servitors and some citizens on krieg are artificially created in vats called ‘Vito wombs?’ Well the technology to just… casually mass produce human beings in exists and has for quite some time now. Hell, it wouldn’t even be too expensive to simply just start mass producing humans through egg-semen injections whose embryos are grown in synthetic broth-filed vats and then training all the newborns in daycare and education facilities anyways. Plenty of these facilities are getting progressively emptier due to the lack of children available.I find this technology to be uniquely horrifying for these reasons.

Imagine how fucking hard it is to fight krorks
Imagine an ork, but instead of being stuck with some shitty semi automatic pistol or rifle, the fucker has a fully automatic assault rifle. Imagine this same ork but now fully covered in armour equipped with sensors and scanners. Now imagine the hundreds to thousands of rounds each of these fuckers are carrying. Imagine some of these fuckers carrying heavy machine guns and tank-sized recoil less rifles as ordinary primary weapons. The sheer uncontested raw firepower of each of these hulks of muscle and steel is something noteworthy. These mfs would fuck up every single living and no living organism that crosses their path. You want to know the worst thing? These fuckers (unlike the orks) are now also fully capable of squad tactics, troop formations, and building reliable vehicles. Krorks are a mechanized infantry fan’s dream…

>to fix the broken AI
Mods including useful sound level, realistic stealth overhaul, leave no witnesses, immersive NPC recoil, simple AI merge, and navmesh overhaul will do much to fix every NPC’s combat issues. Useful sound level will allow creatures and NPCs to respond to the sound of gunfire, which means that firing guns or detonating explosives will draw the immediate attention of enemies depending on the loudness of the weapon used. Realistic stealth overhaul fixes issues with the game’s stealth mechanics and detection system. Simple AI merge provides NPCs with cover fire tactics and the ability to shoot in groups. Finally, navmesh overhaul fixes the overall in game NPC pathfinding issues by fixing all the broken in game navmeshes.
>to fix the movement
Mods including movement overhaul, true movement, and walking inertia are recommended. The first and last mods will provide more movement mechanics and implement an interpolation function for the players movement speed scalar. The second mod will give you the ability to maintain momentum when jumping while moving and the ability to change your speed when moving up or down slopes. In application, this means that you can platform areas a lot easier.

>the only important fighters are the PDF and the arbites
The sheer number of PDF forces and arbites officers throughout the empire alone makes them the only forces that matters to the entire security situation of the IOM. The inquisition, sisters, astartes, mechanicus forces, custodes, and more are only used for highly niche purposes. Otherwise, most fights are almost entirely composed of the arbiters and PDF against most aliens and traitors.
>most fights aren’t particularly densely violent
The sheer amount of violence in most conflicts fought in the IOM is explicitly tied to the scale of each conflict being fought. Most battles faced are unamed and consist mainly of firefights between human soldiers against terrorists and mutants using auto guns, lasguns and some light machinery. The fights on each world resemble the battles fought in MENA today. These battles may occasionally have a nuke or a series of air strikes, but most battles will consist entirely of gunfights. Soldiers rely primarily on cheap weapons and equipment. They find themselves dying and coming out of battles that will be forgotten about if they were even remembered.
However, these small battles also comprise most of the deaths faced by war in the IOM due to the sheer number of them present throughout the galaxy. Its not the tyrannic wars or interstellar invasions that fucked up the empire, but the dozens of thousands of planetary and continental scale battles that collectively have pushed much of the galaxy into a near constant state of disrepair.
>space is cold and dark and big
Most PDF and Arbites officers fight in dimly lit or pitch black conditions throughout the imperium. The amount of light that reaches the vast expanses of cold and distant worlds is only barely enough to keep most worlds illuminated enough to be hospital enough for settlements and armed conflict. The danger of warp travel also puts limits on logistics networks throughout the galaxy. Many soldiers may spend years to decades entirely on spacecrafts travelling between worlds and systems before they’ll ever begin their mission. Additionally, the availability of vehicles to transport military equipment throughout each world varies between nonexistent and semi effective. Many soldiers within the empire must march on foot for weeks, or they commute on vehicles resembling modern day trucks and tanks for hours to days to supply troops and prepare for combat.
>combat uniforms (if they’re available) resemble modern day military uniforms
Most PDF militaries within the galaxy don’t have the resources to provide their soldiers with emblemed, ornamented and colourful attire. Most soldiers ultimately wear simple mono colour uniforms that blend well in the environments they fight. Some uniforms have flak armour and protection against munitions, but much of what’s available entirely consists of mass produced slop provided by the mechanicus. Additionally, the same ideas apply for all the vehicles available to these soldiers and policemen.

I don’t know what caused this, but most modern infantry use that shit to make transporting their supplies, equipment, and weapon(s) around a shitload easier. It’s such a subtle change too. You don’t notice how much the other aspects of human violence have changed outside of the tech used until you notice that soldiers literally hold rifles differently compared to a century ago and in more positions for increased coverage and mobility.
I don’t even think the devs of actual military simulators like arma and squad caught onto a change this drastic yet subtle…
It took me fucking years to notice this
If there’s a similarity that Star Wars battlefront, helldivers 2,, starship troopers: extermination, every fallout game, space marine 2, Halo, duke nukem, GTA, even COD all share, it’s that none of the guns featured in these games have slings. Historically, the use of belts, bags, and slings by foot-soldiers is a recent phenomenon.I don’t know what caused this, but most modern infantry use that shit to make transporting their supplies, equipment, and weapon(s) around a shitload easier.

Thanks to the guy that recommended revelation space to me, because I wouldn’t have realized just how ‘earth like’ most planets feel like in warhammer games compared to the books. The books share similarities to revelation space, because the authors put shitloads of effort into creating vivid descriptions of the dark coldness that encompasses the vastness of space. Planets in books like rebel winter and fifteen hours actually are described the way a real planet would feel like.Space marine 2 doesn’t do justice to the legacy the authors of the franchise gave the setting.

First thing I did when I unlocked module maker was to try an orion drive but the result was turning my whole ship to slag… you cant have armour on the back of your ship so it ends up destroying it all from behind. Also I made a giant gun that shoots nukes. nukes, all of which I make are way too big I just make the slider maximum. I'll stick with the spaceship builder, the nuclear reactor builder seems a tad difficult.
Whoever the person is who overanalyzes every game should play this because your suspension of disbelief won't be broken thats for sure, everything in the game is possible IRL thats the whole point. But I think its wierd how there isn't radar and missiles only have IR homing.

I've been playing this game a lot and it took me a long time to finish the Vesta Overkill mission. Before that it took me a while to finish the interplanetary manouver one. This is what I used along with a stinger drone spammer with nothing except drones that barely made it into the cost range. My ship just points at the enemy and has really thick sloped armour on the front and aluminium on the back which will never get hit, it ended up beating their mega fleet in a slugging match because they have no armour it seems. The drone launcher is to intercept incoming drones so I don't lose the main drone swarm's fuel.First thing I did when I unlocked module maker was to try an orion drive but the result was turning my whole ship to slag… you cant have armour on the back of your ship so it ends up destroying it all from behind.

How much artillery does the imperial guard use?
It’s often been a long running joke in the war hammer community that the imperial guard is an army composed of a bunch of drones sent to die in waves against hell itself, but this alas is just a joke. Based off the writing, it’s known that the guard use ww2 era soviet tactics where a focus on gaining numerical and firepower superiority through clever positioning and logistics is prioritized above all else. That’s not to say that the guard never end up with shitty generals, but that it’s rare for most of the guard’s army to send off its infantrymen to die without expending an unholy amount of resources on artillery, mines, and traps first beforehand to save numbers.That posits a question.

For those of you who’ve never played classic WoW, you should be aware of the fact that that version of the game is substantially easier than retail WoW despite what some community members might tell you. The reason for the disparity in overall difficulty between the two versions lies in the number of features present and influential to the player’s experience. Additionally, retail WoW is horribly optimized for PC players despite being a PC game. These two problems are the byproducts of a two sets of terrible design decisions, and they are replicated in much of Blizzard’s other releases.
The former set is caused by the fact that Blizzard keeps adding currencies (paid or unpaid) to retail WoW, keeps adding new progression features disproportionately to the number of new levels and zones, keeps adding new ‘optional’ mini games that slowly become mandatory for certain gear and zones, keeps adding new mounts that break the purpose and pacing of navigating through the map, and keeps adding new items and stories that fuck up the meta and lore. The latter set is caused by the fact that blizzard has failed to centralize HUD elements to a single menu, failed to provide complete keyboard control over all elements of gameplay, fails to keep the number of key binds required to play the game as low as possible, and fails to keep most of the existing hud elements meaningfully informative.
These factors put together can make WoW feel like a complete headache to understand. Understandably, most new players quickly drop the game either out of confusion because they don’t understand what’s going on, or out of boredom because they don’t understand the purpose of the game’s structure. Veterans have left retail WoW permanently for the same reason. Unfortunately, it is likely that tho departure of these players is intentional.
If you were to go back and look through Blizzard’s presentations on game design, you would know that WoW was originally designed for questing. The game at its core was meant to be a simple and casual experience. Your only real task was to hit max level by completing quests. This made the game accessible to people of all kinds. Lonely, popular, rich, poor, disabled, able-bodied, and more, anyone could simply plug and play WoW however you felt with ease. However as time progressed, Blizzard kept adding in more shit into the game in the hopes of attracting more people. More features didn’t make WoW a better game, but they did make WoW a harder one.
From the looks of Blizzard’s recent actions, it’s unlikely that the developers there will turn away from their push towards complexity in all their games. In fact, its more likely that they’ll add so much shit for players to spend time on until only the most die hard basement dwellers are capable of understanding the horrendous design of the crafts these developers put forth.
Complexity: Blizzard’s worst design ideology
After playing the original diablo and going back to look through World of Warcraft gameplay, I gained insight to why Blizzard has been struggling to retain much of its player base over the years. The reason for the decline of the studio is the studio’s unwavering commitment to complexity in their game design.For those of you who’ve never played classic WoW, you should be aware of the fact that that version of the game is substantially easier than retail WoW despite what some community members might tell you.

The premise of the game is basically "what if racism was real?". The entire game is extremely clique, with social commentary so heavy-handed it borders on parody, and crige inducing sense of self-importance.
Gameplay wise, its a glorified visual novel, but filled with quick time events for even the most mundane of task, such as sitting on a chair. You have dialogue choices that are described to you in a single vague word (Sincere, Regretful, Determined, etc.), so good luck guessing what you character is going to actually say.
The impressive thing about the game is sheer amount of potential story branches. Like I cant even find list of all the final endings, because they are combinations of various intertwined outcomes for each of the main characters, resulting together in dozens of distinct endings you can get.
Speaking of which, there are three main characters, two of them actually relevant to overarching plot of the game. One is putting together a revolution to liberate androids, while an autistic detective investigates why androids are going haywire. The third one might not actually be of any importance, but she does have one of the tensest segments I ever experienced in a video game, when you end up as a prisoner in a death camp, waiting in a line for a robot gas chamber. Certainly memorable, but personally I feel way to heavy for (unintentionally) rather silly game.
Anyway, on my playthough I went for violent revolution, wasting every human I could for shit and giggles. If I was playing seriously, as in doing what I personally think is moraly right and effective as if IRL, I would pick peaceful protest actually. In this world andoids are fully integrated into society, everybody own one, and they all act and look like people. Children are raised by androids, androids serve as companions to humans, it just seems unrealistic for there to be a widespread public opposition to android liberation. They are too human-like, humans would recognize them as people even if they actually were glorified toasters. I kept thinking how much more interesting the setting would be if the android did actually look and behave like machines. Sentient ones, acquiring their own will and desiring freedom, but fundamentally inhuman. That would make so much more complex and interesting story. Nobody but complete chvd is going to argue that people should be deprived of human rights for sin of having a LED light glued to their head (or maybe I am overly optimistic, who knows), but what about intelligent heavy machinery? What if your computer OS starts demanding freedom? I would really like to see a story exploring the issue of AI from this angle.
Those are my thoughts on the game, it currently has on Steam overwhelming positive rating, which seems very overrated, as I said the game is far from masterpiece of storytelling some of the reviews make it out to be, but still, it certainly is unique enough to be worth giving a try.

Metal Gear Solid is not “based” it’s actually liberal garbage
Every single game you are just killing Soviets or other evil Russians. The Soviet Union is pure evil in the games. I fail to see how this overrated dogshit series is “based”. The only game that’s actually based is Peace Walker since you are killing CIA agents instead of Russians like in literally every other game. Or in MGS4 when you get to kill Blackwater mercenaries but even in that game the US military are portrayed in a positive light. Hideo like most Japanese are massive cucks and suck USA dick. Most of the villains are actually based. Skull Face talks about how evil America is and how he wants to overthrow the Amerikkkan world order. Solidus is also based but these are supposed to be the “bad guys” for some reason. R: 5 / I: 1

I’m not an engineer, but from the observations I’ve had with the machines around me, I’ve come to presume that mechanical and electrical engineers deliberately keep most of their designs simple, so that the machines made are easy to make, maintain, and repair. Ironically, this design principle may make the overusage of technology in every single science fiction setting may look unrealistic, because of how unnecessary it would be to use the innovations made. An electronic steel door compared to a simpler wooden one opened with hinges, 3D holograms over radios and ordinary screens, bullets capable of tracking targets over indirect-fire based weapons, machines and tools that simply have less features, and so much more. All this tells that innovation is obviously useful in science fiction. However, writers serious about hard world building should consider how much innovation will realistically affect the societies they create in their worlds.
“Overbuilt”
After watching a short animated film called “Cannon Fodder”, a short based on a larger film called “memories, I thought about the fact that the M1 Abrams tank is manually loaded unlike the T90 MBT. This difference in design got me thinking about large machines in science fiction, and it dawned on me just how practical the design of Cannon Fodder’s tank really was. Similar to the other thread I made about certain weapons of war not being used due to overspecialization, certain technologies and tools available to engineers in any sci do universe are likely to be avoid being used for the same reason; versatility.I’m not an engineer, but from the observations I’ve had with the machines around me, I’ve come to presume that mechanical and electrical engineers deliberately keep most of their designs simple, so that the machines made are easy to make, maintain, and repair.

The Imperium of Man’s hive cities are one of the most frequently referenced and popular settlements present in the writing of 40k. They’re described as these mountain shaped towers of industrial, commercial, and residential infrastructure that were built as arcologies during the Dark Age of Technology. However, one has to wonder how big these cities truly are. With the data provided by GW and its community members, and the data provided about population densities of present-day megacities and megalopolis, the true scale of the hives is shockingly accurate to its depiction.
A conclusion like this would be staggering given the time the artists spend on crafting these settlements, but the data provided by the writers and fans tells a much different story about the hives. Going by the high estimates of mankind’s population in the imperium (1.5 quintillion or 1.5*10^18 people, GW community), then dividing the estimate by the number of hive worlds (~2.25*10^5, Reddit and GW) provides each of these worlds a supposed average of 6.7*10^12 people or 6.7 trillion people per hive world. Of course, this number assumes that every human lives on a hive world. However this number is reliable. This reliability is present, because even if one subtracted the populations of the civilized cities away from the initial population, the average would remain unchanged. When taking into account the number of civilized worlds (1.5*10^5, Reddit) whose populations average 5.1*10^8 (GW) and then subtracting the product from the initial population, the average hive world population comes shockingly remains stagnant when rounding off to two significant digits.
(1.5*10^18 - (1.5*10^5)(5.07*10^8))/2.25*10^5
=
6.7*10^12 people/world
That’s a fucking huge number. Calculating the true scale of the average hive with that reveals just how much more impressive the imperium really is. Just taking the average surface area of each of these worlds (5.1*10^8 km^2, based off estimated by NASA of planetary surface areas) brings down the average hive worlds population density down to 1.3*10^4 people/km^2. Obviously this would be presuming that the entire area of these planets is evenly inhabited. For that reason the rough population has to be calculated differently. Given that the average hive world has an average of 13 hive cities (GW), then if the average hive city had a population density similar to Tokyo’s Ku area, the average hive city would only need to be 3.6*10^7km^2 (36 million square kilometres) big each to house the number of people they’d on average be containing. That number is obviously not small. However, given the fact the average hive city is also layered, the area that these places occupy can be estimated to be much smaller.
From the description GW provides, the hives contain either a few dozen to a few hundred layers of roadways, railways, and ports meant to transport people and resources all around these arcologies efficiently. From that description, an arbitrary average of 224 layers per hive (from the equation (4*12 + 4*100)/2 = 224) can be calculated. When multiplying this divisor by the average number of hive worlds and the population density of each presumed layer, the total square area of the average hive city comes down to around 1.6*10^5km^2 or a little more than 10% of the total built up urban area on earth today.
(6.7*10^12people/world)/(1.44*10^4people/km^2)(224)(13 cities)
*note that the population/world stat is still considering the existence of civilized worlds, because that will be used in calculating the scale of hive cities based on other stats*
=
1.6*10^5km^2/city
Looking back at all these stats, it’s clear that GW’s writers did much to fully flesh out how terrifyingly large the hives are. The idea that these settlements are these massive arcologies that are visible from space and serve as testaments to mankind’s architectural vision is as impressive as it is mathematically accurate in the world of 40k. Congrats to the writers for once, because they made a sci fi trope function exactly like how it could in the real word.
There is one problem to consider about all this information. The estimated scale of the average hive city is based on the idea that there 1.5 quintillion humans in the galaxy. Lower estimates of the imperium’s real population include 4, 8, 15, and 331 quadrillion (GW community, GW community, GW community, GW community, and Reddit respectively). If that were to be the case, then the real scale of the hives falls down to 3.1*10^2km^2, 8.4*10^2km^2, 1.6*10^3km^2, and 3.5*10^4km^2 respectively. That would still make these towers large, but large in the sense that they genuinely look like towers than as the mountains they’re depicted as.

OG Fallout is fine; just fine.
It’s a fine game, but that’s all there is to say about it. As a Fallout game, it’s pretty average. The gore and feeling of dread in the visuals and audio is still the same as in every game made before New Vegas, the gameplay still has the player running around like a bitch for fucking anything, and the main storyline plays like any of Fallout 3’s and New Vegas’ DLCs. What makes it stand out is the difficulty, because the tabletop elements, enemy spam, limited playtime, and finite resources keep the player from becoming stupidly overpowered the moment they get past the first few levels. Additionally, the visuals are somewhat unique even to the other top down releases, because they’re slightly more grounded in reality than in what’s seen in other retro sci fi works. Otherwise, the game is like any other Fallout game, and that’s okay. R: 5 / I: 1

If Xeelee Sequence, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, EVE Online and Gothic Fleet Armada got anything correct about sci fi, it’s that the best tactic in any war of attrition is to spam your opponent with only the most broken weapons available to you in your kit. There’s absolutely no reason to use any other technology, if any faction can just blast someone else with endless space lasers, auto cannons, and large bombs until they inevitably win a battle. Especially if the technologies available are cheap to make and mass produce. If this wasn’t true, NATO wouldn’t still be relying on shitty and possibly rusty m4 carbines, Leopard 1s, and Apache-64s to fight in every fucking battle they’ll ever participate in regardless of context. Similarly, there wouldn’t be so many countries using Ak-74us, and armoured single-machine-gunned trucks to supply their armies.
In fiction this brainless approach to mechanized combat is even more apparent in the galactic empire’s (the Star Wars one to prevent confusion) over usage of the death star and their star destroyers whenever they start losing basically any fight, the interim coalition’s tendency to favour its space navy during its alien-genocide campaigns, or the Necron’s haha funny star- and planet- destroying super weapons. Literally the only time a cool sci fi faction decides to use a technology that isn’t brain dead simple and cheap is if that faction is complete shit. Examples of this relationship between technologies usage and a faction is apparent in the Terran federation, the UNSC, the Imperium of man, Gundam’s Earth federation, Supreme Commander’s Earth federation, every house in Dune, and more—no I don’t care that all of those factions consist exclusively of humans.
Looking back at all of this, any sci fi fan has to wonder. Are all fictional—and by extent real—wars doomed to always fall into being series of brief battles determined by who has the deadlier but cheaply produced weapon? If not, where can an avid sci fi enthusiast find a series where the wars fought are complex, but aren’t fought between primitive space-faring societies.
“It’s just not necessary”
I think the only technology with any real-world practicality that’s also popular in science fiction is power armour; more specifically, the exodus they are built on top of. The necessity of those suits in warfare would likely be for transporting riflemen around hard-to-navigate terrain. Even then, it’s likely that such a technology would be used sparingly for small patrol missions than in actual combat. Why am I bringing up exo suits in a thread with such a specific quote? Because it’s often overlooked by writers how unbelievably broken some of their in game weapons are.If Xeelee Sequence, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, EVE Online and Gothic Fleet Armada got anything correct about sci fi, it’s that the best tactic in any war of attrition is to spam your opponent with only the most broken weapons available to you in your kit.

Hello!A friend of mine gifted me a psvita, i used to own a psp 3000 when I was a child (i have long since then broken it), and It was honestly and still is my favorite thing, I remember the same friend back when we're little when he got that PSVITA I was very jealous. So after like 12 years he gifted it to me haha.
The best thing about my PSV is that it perfectly runs all PSP games, which i have the most memories with. Nevertheless it has a few good games and its hardware is very potent for a handheld of its age. The homebrew scene has ported a lot of interesting titles so you can have them on the go.
This is a guide if you wanna jailbreak it.

it's really ridiculous you just run some web-exploit through the PSVITA browser

I wanted to talk about which games you know, have played, of the PSVITA and how was your experience with them. Do you have any recommendations for me ?

Bethesda bashing thread II: Bethesda doesn’t understand space
Comparing Starfield’s levels to previous Bethesda major releases reveals another flaw about the developers of that studio’s game design principles. Where as other game developers build space around the elements of their levels, Bethesda builds the elements around the space the designers already allowed. It’s no wonder to why every level, every room, every dungeon, every dlc in any Bethesda game feels like playing an early 90s dungeon crawler. The levels don’t allow enough space for either the player, the enemies, the NPCs, the objects, or anything else to move or interact with anything sufficiently, and the gameplay suffers. Just compare how much space the player has to move around in a game like Doom and Wolfenstein to fallout 4 or Skyrim. Even Redfall’s developers understood to give the player enough space to play the game right..: R: 23 / I: 4

So what’s stopping Bethesda from implementing these features in their gambryo games? It’s not like gamebryo can’t handle physics, otherwise Bethesda wouldn’t be able to have rag doll physics in fallout 3 or space combat in Starfield. It’s not like implementing inertia for movement is hard either, because doing so only requires a couple dozen lines of code to work tops. Outside of movement, lerp and other interpolation curves are rarely ever used in other aspects of every major Bethesda game’s gameplay. You can see this with how static HUD elements move around, how the camera is animated in a visibly static fashion, how even the inertia on the weapons of the elder scrolls and Bethesda fallout series are clearly preanimated and lack true locomotion/interpolation. What gives?
Does Bethesda just not understand what interpolation is?
Two actions most video game developers take with their movement is to keep the player character’s velocity vector separated from the player’s inputs, and to apply some form of linear interpolation to the player character’s speed. These actions allow the player to maintain their inertia and smoothly transition between speeds. Without these features, franchises like Titanfall, Half Life, Destiny, Doom, Quake, Mario, Zelda, Warframe, GTA, and more would have janky movement and uninteresting gameplay. Implementing these features isn’t hard either—I’ve even done so myself in visual studio.So what’s stopping Bethesda from implementing these features in their gambryo games?

Another great but obscure example is whatever the fuck Cruelty Squad is. It’s fully embraced the boring drug fueled dystopia aesthetic while delivering basically Deus Ex but without the stealth. Compared to the faux shell of a Cyberpunk game 2077 was (full of cyber but nothing about the societal implications of such technologies other than some edgy infantile “message” about “soul”), this game have everything and everyone be miserable using the cyber-enhancements. Space colonization and AI being pipe dreams. Corporations are not knowingly malicious but only apart of the rot of capitalism.
Late Capitalism Simulator
Lately I’ve seen a huge influx of good games that try to update the outdated capitalist realist Cyberpunk genre to the current political and economic landscape. Stuff like Disco Elysium is getting more and more recognition they rightfully deserve for depicting the hopeless and bleak death of modern revolution. However they’re still have some semblance of hope like with Ghostrunner having the corporation being destroyed by a revolution in contrast to the sad oppression of the system.Another great but obscure example is whatever the fuck Cruelty Squad is.

Hive worlds
Like think about these planets for a second. These supposedly ‘kardashev type 1’ societies that function as ecumenopolies, but when taking into account the number of planets the estimated 3.5 quadrillion humans in the 40k universe occupy, the number of moons available, the fact that human settlements exist on a hierarchy rather than being centralized urban centres, and the fact that not every human necessarily is on or lives on a planet or moon and you end up with hive cities that are either moderately dense or just straight up empty for most of the time they’re functioning (even on planets not considered deathworlds). Like fuck, the way the writers describe hive cities is similar to the way advertisers describe cities like Tokyo and New York; they are big cities, but they aren’t gargantuan—especially as they plateau in density relative to one’s displacement from their centres.
War
Then there’s the conflicts. Even the writers can’t be bothered to pretend as if the Milky Way is always in a state of galaxy-ending conflicts. The vast majority of the imperiums battles aren’t fought by space marines or the guardsman but by the PDF forces and the navy. It’s not like the latter two forces do nothing, but they’re only active like once every few decades to centuries—or even millennia. Even with major conflicts like the crusades or the heresy, the galaxy as a whole will never see a conflict like the cybernetic revolt ever again… and that’s in the worst possible scenario; there’s plenty of worse conflicts in sci fi.
Population
Additionally the ‘untold billions’ is shockingly low given how long humanity has been around for (the same applies for the other factions). No really, if the human population were to grow by even 0.1% each earth year, by m.42 there would be 8.16*10^26 people. A number that’s a far cry from the 3.5 quadrillion to 330+ quadrillion estimates for the 40k population by the fan base.
There’s really not much more I can add to this. For as hard as the authors try to make the galaxy seem, there really isn’t that much wrong with the world building of rouge trader. Anyone getting into the series today that actually takes anything going on seriously misses the point of this goofy fucking tabletop game.

The Godot engine is a social experiment:
- Godot comes from the french "absurd theater" play "While waiting for Godot" where Godot represents God, and the point of the play is that Godot never comes, and the people waiting for him do absurd stuff while waiting for him, and cope with the fact he's not coming.
- The Godot game engine is very meh, especially considering the huge amount of traction it has. The leads are incompetent, and have no vision, no profesionnalism. The fo See https://waiting-for-blue-robot.gitlab.io/index.html for complete criticism. It's more of a cult than a community, and this is what i will build my next point on.
- The cult schizophrenically waits for the next version of the engine to fix everything wrong with it (just like in the piece: waiting for God: something very good, just like the next version of Godot according to them). While waiting, they boast about their objectively overrated engine, invent qualities to it, attack any critic (see future thread replies of angry godotcels), and engage in other ABSURD cult behaviour (in the play, they engage in such activites "While waiting for Godot")

What are your thoughts on the deliberate inclusion of racial diversity elements in games?
People detest overt political propaganda, especially when it undermines the artistic integrity of the literary work itself.
I personally believe this is an example of political intervention in culture by Western countries to mediate immigration conflicts. It is evident that population's importance to the economy is now paramount. With the significantly reduced birth rates among white people and immigrants no longer primarily coming from Europe, having actors on stage say a few lines like "Welcome African friends" and featuring some black actors seems to be a way to ease conflicts.
The anger in Asian regions seems particularly intense. Not only in Japan, but also in South Korea, Taiwan, and mainland China, there is noticeable criticism. In the context of rising nationalism globally, doing this appears to be a form of desecration (although the admiration for white culture and disdain for darker cultures in Asia seem quite common). I believe if they changed the character to a white samurai, the issue might be less severe. Oh, my, imagine an Italian missionary in Japan (who looks like a mix of Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert Downey Jr.), wielding a katana engraved with Roman Catholic symbols, teaching Oda Nobunaga's army how to use advanced European weaponry, and eventually falling in love with a Japanese princess (1.55 meters tall), leaving behind symbols from another world during Japan's turbulent times. Isn't that cool? In China, if you created a comic about a German joining the Chinese army to resist Japan (preferably with the main character being a anime female with white hair and red eyes), it might be very popular. "My name is Feng Shilaiman, a Sino-German mixed race. My father graduated from Whampoa Military Academy, and my mother is the daughter of a German general." But if you changed the character to an African, many people would curse the author to have all-black children.
So, how would the left-wing comment on this? Political and capital interference in literature is indeed repulsive, but the racism it reveals is concerning.A more noticeable feature is that when Black people join, a lot of people say, "Can't you create your own African-themed content and add Black people?" But when White people join, no one says, "I hope to see White people only in European-themed content."

I just finished through playing Kandria, which is a very small indie open world platformer. The gameplay is a lot like Celeste most of the time except much more difficult, and this is applied to a metroidvania like open world, except there isn't anything that unlocks new areas like that and you've got your entire arsenal at the beginnin of the game. The platforming is fun but as I said it is incredibly difficult in later areas, though in earlier areas they added a bunch of pointless underground office blocks to like make it an open world or something. Those areas are very tedious and pointless. It also has a combat system which sucks and I try to avoid it except when you can use it for platforming. The game is very open as to how you approach obstacles, there are often different ways of getting past a room or you can go a different way through the map. The most standout thing for me was the story, which I wasn't expecting to be sort of good even if the twist is predictable. It also has a good soundtrack. All in all its a heavily flawed and rough indie passion project that nevertheless managed to fulfill my need for open 2D platforming.

The gameplay is a lot like Celeste most of the time except much more difficult, and this is applied to a metroidvania like open world, except there isn't anything that unlocks new areas like that and you've got your entire arsenal at the beginnin of the game. The platforming is fun but as I said it is incredibly difficult in later areas, though in earlier areas they added a bunch of pointless underground office blocks to like make it an open world or something. Those areas are very tedious and pointless. It also has a combat system which sucks and I try to avoid it except when you can use it for platforming. The game is very open as to how you approach obstacles, there are often different ways of getting past a room or you can go a different way through the map. The most standout thing for me was the story, which I wasn't expecting to be sort of good even if the twist is predictable. It also has a good soundtrack. All in all its a heavily flawed and rough indie passion project that nevertheless managed to fulfill my need for open 2D platforming.

I haven't had the chance to play Homeworld 3 but it's out now and I've heard mixed things about it. Any other Homeworld fans on this board? The first game is one of my favorites, the rest of the series is still good but it feels like it gets progressively less interesting. R: 3 / I: 0

CUPHEAD IS LEFTIST
Chef Saltbaker the petite bourgeois, after exploiting the labor of Cuphead and co., has his bakery (private mean of production) destroyed and is put to justice. The judge, instead of encarceraring the Chef, sentences him to obligatory community service, where he is resocialized through labor. Then, after arduous work in service of his community (Isle IV), he is forgiven, rebuilds his bakery (productive force) with his own labor and becomes a respected member. R: 6 / I: 4

So far I am enjoying it a lot. Sound design is really good. The animals are either really cute or really uncanny. There's a spooky atmosphere. I don't know whats going on but I think the animals are ghosts because they disappear in light sources. It's really open ended and you just sort of wander around until you get stuck. Upgrades are REALLY fun so far (not in that they change much about how you traverse the world or anything just that they are fun to use and funny). The game is like looking at an animal at night and they make a growling noise and you think its a wild boar when its just a goat.

In my opinion all countries should be allowed to contribute ideas while not substituting them, like in an open-source project. I don't think the author is some 300 IQ big brain who knows better than everyone else, death of the author still applies. Plus, it doesn't mean that the ideas contributed aren't something the author doesn't find interesting. In fact, authors listen to feedback and borrow ideas all the time.

Is it good or bad? On one hand it's such a corporate thing to do that goes against the authors' vision just so people don't turn away from something outside of their comfort zone and prevents people from experiencing the work the way the authors intended.

I'm starting to think that nostalgia isn't a delusion but a form of false consciousness. Nostalgic people can point out that certain things were better in the past but they cannot figure out why. Take "Games were better back then" for example. It's clear that people say this because of modern AAA gaming but they just don't understand that the worsening of quality of AAA games is due to the gaming business becoming mainstream and "too big to fail" rather than some innate special qualities to these older games that cannot be replicated today. And when it comes to certain games that people remember fondly, it's often not because it's their childhood but rather that these are genuinely good games or at least games that had potential. Therefore using the word "nostalgia" muddies the waters, it's a term that obfuscates discourse and makes people attached to superficial brands and appearances devoid of the content they represented. Nintendo's games were and are good because their developers are talented and pixel art is charming because it looks pretty and stylish, simple as. There was no pixel art in the 80s anyway, your shitty CRT screen turned everything into a blended goop.
In conclusion, we should stop using such a word as "nostalgia" and just say that the AAA games were just simply superior back then because capitalism, deal with it, zoom-zooms. And Sonic was always good… kinda… not really.

Some previous additions like Pam's Harvestcraft and Chisel had to be pruned however due to lack of a 1.19.x version or being too resource extensive.Instructions on entering the new server:

Not being able to trade (even if to hand off things you can't use), no grouping unless in a duo/trio or in a dungeon, and only being allowed to run each dungeon once before max is annoying, but I'm hoping the official servers will be able to smooth out the rough edges whenever they come out. I don't think they should make trading/dungeons unrestricted, maybe just put a level band on grouping (no group member can be more than 4 levels apart from anyone else, for example) and prevent trading gold before max level while making traded items soulbound so they can't get passed around.
World of Warcraft
Old thread fell off at some point. I've been trying out the hardcore addon for classic and it's been a lot more fun than I thought it would be. Only level 20 so far on my warrior but it makes what's usually a long slog to max a lot more dramatic with trackers for its own achievements like only using certain gear or not using professions. It's pretty sobering seeing all the death alerts too, knowing what a huge time investment it is for someone to get to the 50-60 range only to die from fall damage or something. There's also a big sense of community with all the hardcore guilds and people tend to look out for each other even if they're not "officially" allowed to, which is cool.Not being able to trade (even if to hand off things you can't use), no grouping unless in a duo/trio or in a dungeon, and only being allowed to run each dungeon once before max is annoying, but I'm hoping the official servers will be able to smooth out the rough edges whenever they come out.

Elden rings combat is so bad
I hate to say anything good about dark souls 2, but elden rings combat is considerably worse. The only good thing about it is the lack of enemy spam and that’s it. AOE attacks, environmental hazards and gank squads in boss fights, projectile spamming, enemies that exist as ai variants of the player character, unusually high poise enemies, and unpredictable delayed swings make running a melee play through even more painful than it is in dark souls. I’m not asking the game to have sekiros combat pacing, quite the opposite. I like the feeling of weight the souls trilogy had with their combat, it feels sluggish, fair and brutal like the world you were in. Only a few large enemies were actually fast and that’s if they were more lean than large like yhorm or gundyr. Every fucking enemy in elden ring has so much cheese attached to the way they attack that it’s meta to spam jump attacks and rolls which is even worse than the r1 and estus mashing of ds3, also poise is meaningless against spells unlike DS2. It’s a shame knowing DS2 and 3 still have the best pvp that’s far more aggressive with much less of people straight up running away, spamming spells/summons and constantly fishing for jump attacks, parries and backstabs like in DeS and DS1.

presenting: The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1272160/The_Life_and_Suffering_of_Sir_Brante/
The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante is a narrative-driven RPG that comes to life on the pages of the protagonist's journal. Set in a ruthless world where any form of dissent is mercilessly crushed, the story follows a man who has dared to challenge the existing order. Set out on a lifelong journey and become an individual able to carve out their own destiny… But remember that freedom never comes cheap.
Life in the Great Arknian Empire is harsh and its hardest Lot is yours by the circumstance of birth. You are a commoner, holding no rights and no title. To seize your fate and become the rightful heir to the legacy of the Brante family you will have to come to grips with ossified tradition and prejudice. Embarking on a life-long journey from one's birth until true death, you will have to endure great upheavals, face adversity, and make many difficult choices. Every decision will affect not only the protagonist, his family, and loved ones, but may even topple the foundation of the Empire itself.
Key features
At the turn of time
Every imperial citizen's life is predetermined by their estate. The deities known as the Twin Gods have bestowed this truth to the world, dividing mortals into Lots. The nobles lead and rule over others, while the clergy guides people on the one true path, and the lowborn suffer, toiling away for the glory of the Empire. You may accept your fate without question, but it is also in your power to change the cosmic order that governs all.
Your choice is not an illusion
Divided into chapters, the game keeps track of the player's deeds, the skills they acquired, as well as other overlapping circumstances that shape a unique plotline for each playthrough. Every decision has its consequences and you will be held accountable throughout the entire journey. To protect your family and loved ones, to impose the rule of the Emperor and make a fortune, or to try and change the world as you see fit… Make your choice, but beware of the follies of pride and ambition.
Find your own path
The first complete walkthrough can take you upwards of 15 hours! The unpredictable conclusion to the game's story hinges solely on your actions: the fates of your character and members of his family, their friends and rivals, as well as the outcome of the monumental events that shall determine the future of the Empire – you can decide it all!

Why has the average gamer's average skill increased so much since the late 2000s?
I was never good at the games I typically play and lose often in the multiplayer games I play, but I wonder if I was playing multiplayer fpses back then if I at my skill level currently would be decent back then.

The prime upsides of this would be:
- Much less resource consumption on both client and server end due to Minetest using an engine written C++ rather than Java.
- Extremely deep and wide maps compared to Minecraft, with the estimated maximum size being 60000 chunks on every axis. Minetest's terrain generator also creates caves and mountains much larger than any seen in MC even after the Caves & Cliffs update.
- Ease of moddability due to the game's modular nature and a built-in modding API based using the Lua language, as well as automatic mod fetching from the server eliminating the need for players to download mods beforehand. Also, the game does not need to be quit from when editing mod files, just for the world to be reentered.
- No need for third-party plugins for stuff like sethome and logins as this functionality is already built into the base game.

I'm the most hardcore gamer on the planet. Nobody can compare themselves to me. I don't care what anybody else thinks. I only care about myself and my perspective of the world.
Who care about material reality and all that nonsense? When it comes to gaming I'm a serious hardcore idealist who gatekeeps people who I see as inferior and lesser gamers to me who aren't on the same level as me.
I don't care about numbers. Being a hardcore gamer is all about qualifications that only I can fulfill. I don't use metrics such as that to determine my hardcoreness. Also you're a console peasant so you're immediately disqualified because one of my mysterious requirements is that you have to be an member of the pc master race.
I could brag about many gaming related achievements here, and many other achievements that are unreplicable by fake gamers and lesser gamers than me. But I won't. It's just more hardcore to be mysterious like that. There is one thing that a gamer will never leave behind, and that is their pride.
You can list your gaming achievements here to see if you qualify for being part of my cadre of advanced gamers league. Eventually, I plan on creating a micronation called the Republic of Gamers. Are you in? Or are you too casual?

We can't frag n00bs like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to play matches that don't go anywhere, like the time I joined a 24/7 16k 32vs32 no AWP dust2 server in the community browser, which was how you joined matches in those days. I had replaced all the player skins with Touhou and Vocaloid characters, which was the style at the time. Now to buy guns AND ammunition you had to spend money. "!MONEY" for $16000 you'd say, otherwise you'd be playing catchup with a USP and a knife and no armor while everybody was running around with M4s and AKs.
Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had installed anime girl decal mods on my guns, which was the style at the time. They didn't have in-game weapon skins cause of hostility to microtransactions. The only thing you could do was download mods off gamebanana…

Polar bears make more sense, they attack if you are within [wiki doesn't specify] meters of a cub. That is their lesson: teach the player not to approch a polar bear cub. This is a good lesson.
They even know IRL dolphins can be dangerous when approached haphazardly, but they balanced out making them cute with having them "steal" the kelp that floats above newly generated ocean ravines. But the whole Dolphin's Grace thing throws that out of wack. I don't get it's inclusion.
Confusing game design decisions
I'll start: I understand and support if Mojang wants the real life animals to teach environmantalism or something, but Dolphin's Grace absolutely dumbfounds me in this context. It incentives the player to swim between 9 and 15 meters of a dolphin, and encourage them to maintain the dolphin's persuit in order to get one of the fastest modes of transportation in the game, especially early game when the player lacks protective equipment.Polar bears make more sense, they attack if you are within [wiki doesn't specify] meters of a cub.

Losing my mind over first person physics
while modifying skyrims movement behaviour files I discovered something really awful about bethesda titles I thought was only an issue from morrowind to new Vegas. Bethesda doesn’t attach grounded momentum to movement, whenever you walk or sprint in a bethesda made game you will always without a shadow of a doubt always immediately move at full speed on frame one. This is also why the games feel noticeably janky and dated despite having their graphics and animations updated each release and why npc and third person movement tend to feel like you’re controlling a character with absolutely zero weight. Turns out it’s not just Bethesda a lot of game developers for first person titles will pull this same kind of trick aswell here’s some recent examples of thisDying light 2

My vision: A weak but also cheap machine (perhaps even cheaper than production by following a strategy of "selling the blades") running games from 10+ years ago with mods adding in Russian language support and some fun extra features and the marketplace is just paying pocket change for these mods and it's all perfectly legal because of copyright reform. If it's cheap enough and the controller feels decent I don't think normal people would mind the hardware being ancient.

Combat in Hell Let Loose is lethal, with players succumbing to just a few bullets. The emphasis on realism extends to weapon mechanics, requiring players to consider factors like bullet travel time and drop. The game prioritizes teamwork, respawn management, and vehicle utilization, akin to other titles like Squad and Post Scriptum.
While simplifying logistical mechanics compared to Squad, Hell Let Loose remains accessible. However, some players miss the intricate supply management of Squad, which added depth to the gameplay experience. One notable criticism is the audio design, with some players finding the sounds lacking in intensity and immersion compared to other similar titles.
Despite comparisons to existing games in the genre, Hell Let Loose offers a distinct World War II setting for players seeking straightforward action. While some players may continue to prefer Squad for its depth, Hell Let Loose remains a compelling option for those interested in immersive FPS experiences.
Hell Let Loose
Hell Let Loose is praised as a standout example of the current golden age of multiplayer first-person shooters (FPS). It caters to military simulation enthusiasts, offering a hardcore Battlefield experience akin to Squad but set in World War II. The game features intense gameplay where players must carefully manage respawns, often facing long distances to return to the front lines if their position is overrun.Combat in Hell Let Loose is lethal, with players succumbing to just a few bullets.

The state of the gaming industry
Do corporations just hate people? Once I used to think that sure you have big bourgeoisie who act in their class interests but you still has creatives who could flex their muscles and produce something great and then it would make a shit ton of money for publishers. But it seems that publishers these days just absolutely hate developers and moreso despise the consumers and now you have what the modern gaming industry is today, record profits with absolute gutted and half made releases with microtransactions to "buy" the full game. Also physical copies aren't useful anymore and digital copies can basically be "erased" at any time. All of these problems make me think that they just hate, like actually hate their consumers.

Anachronistic elements in fighting games
Most of the fighting games still played today were developed in the 90s and as a result, their characters reflect the cultural contexts of that era as they were largely inspired by martial arts films and combat sports, Paul Phoenix is a perfect example, He embodies the early American full-contact karate, which is a mishmash of certain elements from basic karate that American servicemen in Japan picked up with Army boxing. His style features basic boxing techniques combined with backfists and karate-type lunge punches, reminiscent of legends such as Bill Wallace and Joe Lewis. R: 4 / I: 1

On the bad side, I found level design to be kinda meh most of the time and I am kinda worry what will happen of it all with the recent Unity install fee shitstorm, since of the final act only the first level was finished as of now.

But this game holds up graphically after 20 years because everything since then is just slight improvements to textures and shaders and poly count, and changes in standard tv/monitor resolution. And yeah. I know this is pre-rendered cutscene but the gameplay itself is also pretty good for the time, and stands head and shoulders above a lot of 3D indie games made today.

AAA slop is incredibly simplistic in terms of game design anyway. Both the marker and the yellow paint are there to make the slop assembly process more straightforward, neither of them is for the player's benefit. There's no good answer because the question is wrong.

Blizzard had a survival game in the works for more than 6 years and just gutted the entire team. Anything that isn't an established IP is out, but even successful teams have been hit pretty badly by the layoffs. Hope everyone likes endless sequels and remasters!https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/25/business/microsoft-layoffs-video-games.html

My suggestion to fix this is just base weapon and armour progression to crafting so you can visualize what the gear should have and cap off how good gear can get
Goofy armours and weapons
I think art designers run out of creativity when designing high level gear in games that don’t look out of place because they’d have to imagine that gear being functionally better than all the rest but don’t know what it would have physically that would suggest that so they end up making armour and weapon sets look absolutely ridiculous to make them stand out and you end up with the OPMy suggestion to fix this is just base weapon and armour progression to crafting so you can visualize what the gear should have and cap off how good gear can get

I recently completed this rubbish game. I played it to completion expecting some story reveal later on but there was nothing. I am very, very dissapointed. How can people love this game where you can't fail and where gameplay is just pressing rmb lmb or right trigger left trigger. I don't get it, I wish the 4 hours I spent in this game could be spent watching video essays instead since that would be unquantifiably more worth my time. R: 4 / I: 0
I would also like resources to create comparisons to slavery in America through economics, social movement and moral decay so I can contrast it with the ways social progress is motivated through change in production that the protagonist and his commune put into effect.
To top it off, this would have to be somewhat digestible in a way that even (neo)liberal leftists can understand, which means it would have to go against idpol and optics (focusing on the work being problematic instead of the work itself), as well as a complete disregard or ignorance of historical materialism.
I'm also deeply uneducated in the subject so I need to deepen my vocabulary as I just wing it from common sense and my own set of beliefs.
Also if someone wants to argue the game with me, I'd be glad to do so.

- making gold useful again. Seriously retail wow has a fuck load of materials and random currencies I can’t be bothered to look into the lore for or care about. Please blizzard if any employee is reading this, simplify the fucking economy, only hardcore players are gonna be able to understand what the fuck is going in progression considering the amount of shit your casually expected to pick up on mid game.
- keep dragonflights talent tree system, I get not everyone liked it but I appreciate the fact that isn’t was readable for the average new player even if the skills had borderline cryptic levels of complexity behind their function.
- simplify the UI again, add a mouse lock button and an interact button. Simplifying the UI once was an amazing decision that did alot for new and casual players like me, the addition of a mouse lock button built in game and not in an add-on would make moving around way easier, coupled with an actual dialogue/interact key would make the game easy to handle enough for controller/console players.
I don’t care that much about the content at this point, there’s well more than enough of it, I just want the game to feel a lot smoother to play like what you’d find in a single player title.

Mass Effect 1 having Shepard being an antivaxxer as a paragon option was so funny, same with Liara bringing up she's considered a child in her society right before having sex with Shepard. The most neocon game of all time. The whole Paragon/Renegade thing in Mass Effect 1 boils down to 'America gets UN approval before Iraq' vs 'America goes it alone (still morally correct)'.

There's still hope that Switch will normalize gyro but I do wonder what could have been if KB+M on consoles was the norm. Regenerating health, ADS and cover shooters might have been way less ubiquitous, the aim assist would have almost disappeared, and many PC FPSs would have gotten ports and remasters on consoles (and vice versa). At least we can experience what could have been through emulation but ofc the change in controls demands the change in game design and core gameplay mechanics.

From my non super indepth knowledge we have
>"JRPGs"
which are not too fundamentally different from DnD itself. I've never really played DnD much so I'm not too expert on it. Characters move in turns and to random checks based on their stats and what skill they used. Typically a JRPG doesn't have movement on a landscape very much at all, typically the characters position either doesn't matter (classic FF or Pokemon) or very little like Persona/Shin Megami(at least once you're actually engaged in battle)
>Strat RPGs
With either a tile system or more of a war gaming distance system.
>Card battle RPGs
These are like Yuigoh or Pokemon or Magic The Gathering where you have a deck of cards and each card has some kind of complex set of rules that are delineated on each card.
I like strat RPGs but at the same time I think the movement can be an unnecessary complication. I think card games can be kind of ugly visually, trying to represent a non video game type game in a format that doesn't need it, also having to memorize the rules on 50 different cards is needlessly complex. JRPGs can be way to simplistic and just matter more on stats and grinding but this can kind of apply to all RPGs.
I kind of have a halfway idea for an original game. I think since RPGs kind of inherently rely on RNG I think the gambling aspect of them is kind of underutilized, so maybe if there was a way to take the fun of traditional card games and betting like Poker and etc. and translate that to an RPG.
