that's very interesting anon but that doesn't seem like a co-op or labor union simulator at all. very different from the OP.

>>48204
I can't get over the fact that the character holding the baby have a revolver with an inverted trigger. AI have still a long way to go…

>>48214

it was meant as a reference because i wanted to draw it emulating Jamie Hewlett style?

but like, learning to emulate his style also involves kinda learning some drawing theory and as a burnout highschool artist i'm not as patient with theory with something i kinda learned to just "do" when i'm bored as much as i do for 3D art which i learned through theory instead… so i'll get to it i just wanted to sorta see it conceptualized already to see if i got more confident on what i wanted to do exactly.

If were gonna be an idea guys thread, what you do is you make it like Spore.
>start as an unemployed guy
>get job
>read theory
>start union
>game turns into squad based gameplay of the store you unionized
>local union management turns into regional management when the union gets big enough
>national union overthrows government
>world conquest/revolution simulator
>last level is making startrek a reality, meeting aliens, and realizing they already did communism.

Trying really hard to like Crisis in the Kremlin but it still aint clicking

Civ has been trying to reinvent itself every game so every new entry is divisive, it's true for hoi4 over 3 but paradox nailed exactly who their modern audiences is with it, roleplayers, with the actual strategy elements as a background, with different games that simulate different settings (they also make extensive use of user generated content as a crutch)
Civ7 just dropped the ball.
For another franchise like X, it's because they advertise as space strategy games instead of what they really are, player-centric roleplay universes, that's a markketing failure on that one.

It's…..it's beautiful

>>48238
HOI4 has much better combat than most other strategy games.

>Socialist America owning a chunk of Russia
Bruh, how?

Games with realistic graphics will never be scary. You need low poly low resolution smeared textures so you can't tell what the monster looks like and your imagination does work.

>>48224
so you hide your monsters as much as possible to make them super duper mysterious, what's the issue here

like i don't think mosters not being scary is the fault of advanced graphics, but the fault of game designers which lack enough imagination to give the vibe the needed oomph, because it would require inconveniencing the player

>>48226
Maybe we just got older.

What is there to get blown away by? It's just another Silent Hill aping part 2. Oh no I'm so guilty the game.

>>48036
Paradoxes took the position of mensheviks-trotskyists - that communism is impossible to build through one state, there needs to be a world revolution. I wonder how much nonsense about "forced inustrialization built on bones and blood" will they put in their game

>>48079
“Workers of of the world unite” is not exclusive to mensheviks-trotskyists.

>>48233
i heard you can even steal them

After seeing the new leak: It would look really good if it came out in 2016, but holy moly they fucked up with the physics. Looks 1 to 1 copied from GTA 5, gameplaywise its outdated by 10 years even 15 years. The dirtbike racing looks straight up ass

>>48242
And yet none of it matters because it will sell 300 million copies regardless of quality.

>>48242
> holy moly they fucked up with the physics. Looks 1 to 1 copied from GTA 5
which itself was a significant downgrade from IV because they wanted to cut back on the realism for the sake of online play

gta online has been basically roblox and/or second life for a while now, genuinely i'm even surprised the ads have been focusing on the main story so much, when it's kinda obvious it's secondary on rockstar's financial plans and the main course is the map itself which is mostly going to be a lobby for roleplayers

guyz nvse gonna release ESLs soon

>>48209
I thought they already had esl files? Or is this some new thing?

How come there still isnt any new Fallout game? With success of the TV show, you would guess Bethesda would be jumping at the opportunity to capitalise on the IP.

>>48221
Microsoft is too busy killing their studios to do that
also I heard Obsidian got put on it last time after Avowed and Outer Worlds two shat the bed

I pick legion because it reminds me of ISIS and that makes me happy

>>48187
such a good game; accidentally put 24 hours into it and i only feel like I scratched the surface. Trying to go full iconoclast.

>>48190
I want to go full heretic. Although from what I heard heretic includes the standard selfish evil choices, which I dont find very fun or interesting.

>>48195
wrong the tau are a parody of feudalism not slavery. it's a caste system not a slave system.

>>48217
>it's not feudalism because feudal lords didn't indoctrinate their subjects
aren't you forgetting about the whole divine right of kings, inherently noble bloodlines, and other wonderful lies that feudalism pushed on everyone?

>>48157
No, it wasn't. If you like the Company of Heroes (or Warhammer Dawn of War 2 ) style of RTS its pretty solid. The only problem was there wasn't enough long term support and content. What Ithink undid them is what happens to most RTS devs in the past decades - they decided to focus on competitive PVP tournament garbage first of all. This also doomed Stormgate and many others and that one actually had SC2 style Co-Op from the start but they let it rot etc…but I digress. Comp PVP is only of interest to a handful of hardcore players (and these usually are actively hostile to growing your userbase) whereas campaigns, co-op, custom games and the like are way more desirable, especially for a new game with a new setting

Iron Harvest's setting and story was a unique alt-history WW1 dieselpunk take, but they were working with small kickstarter resources and because they didn't keep growing the playerbase with the aforementioned it didn't get the kind of long term support it could have used. There's a reason that even the Age of Empires series for instance is adding more campaign and co-op stuff and they're doing much better. Iron Harvest isn't bad, but it would have benefited from more campaigns, co-op special missions and standard campaigns etc. Its still worth a play on sale for the campaigns if you like the mechanics/settings, its just a pity it didn't get more.

By comparison, DoW4 has a huge amount of buzz behind it given the interest in all DoW1 and 2, which both had significant DLC and modding expansions alike. We'll see where it goes but I hope for the best.

> To be fair I am running it on Linux through Lutris
You can switch the proton/wine layer with protonup-qt or whatever and try with one of the glorious eggroll branches and see how that works. Probably the difference will be minimal, on demand shader compilation in UE5 is so incredibly shit and makes everything stutter

Restarted Gothic Remake playthrough. Didnt even try to fight anything this time, just running past enemies on my way to Old Camp. It got way too dark before I reached it, and didnt want to risk bumping into something that could one-shot me, so I had to go AFK at a small hunting camp with two hunters in it, waiting until dawn so I could see properly. At the gate I couldnt help myself but to pick the snarky dialogue option with a guard, who attacked me. I tried running away, but got stuck on world geometry or something, character stopped running, and got knocked out and robbed. Lost all of my starting capital and weapons. Later broke my lockpick trying to understand how lockpicking system works. Met an NPC named Mud, who is supposed to be an annoying guy who keeps hanging around you, accidently got him murdered by scavengers when I ventured to explore surrounding wildness.
So my plan right now is to steal what I can, so that I save enough for learning lockpicking skill and some lockpicks, and then rob everyone blind. Might have to first go to Swamp Camp, not sure if there is enough for me to steal in Old Camp right now.

And I am done with my Gothic playthrough. Got murdered by NPC. I dont know why, they should beat you up and loot your stuff, but this random digger just decided to murder me.

Played For the Fatherland: Chronicle of Park Chung-hee, legit good, better than all the Ostalgie games IMO, very reminiscent of TNO.

>>48194
Nice find. I game overed almost ASAP but I'll keep at it.
While I'm here, don't play The Guild: Europe 1410 or Transport Fever 3 yet. They need more time in the oven. In the former's case it's just an early access shell of a game and in the latter's, optimization is needed

No gameplay vids? It's a worse version of the StarCaft Ghost trailer but people will drool because graphics.

>>48160
Its actually good cinematic trailer. Blizzard used to have reputation for those, I guess people are pleasantly suprised they managed to make something nice after over a decade of garbage that looks straight out of Korean MMO.

>>48160
I learned long ago not to trust blizzard with anything that isn't out yet

>>48161
Blizzard is a sick social experiment in a studio trying to stay alive on their trailer game alone

>>48170
Call of Duty and Diablo alone will keep Blizzard going until the heat death of the universe. Blizzdrones slurp up any slop that's on offer from those those franchises.
