DarkThoughts,

I feel it should only be used for when there's some agenda pushing going on (like the whole woke crying whenever the incels are triggered by something), not for legit reviews due to malpractice from the devs or publishers or whatever.

DarkThoughts,

There's still a lot of people who simply yearn for a more complex spore type game. Spore's first evolution stage was supposed to be quite a bit more complex to what it ended up being too. You can still find some old presentation video of it around on YT but the quality suffered as one of the older YT videos and only has the low res one on offer.

DarkThoughts,

Got it on my wishlist for a long time but it doesn't seem to offer much, not even for its 4 bucks. And there's not really any decent gameplay videos out there either.

DarkThoughts,

I "transitioned" to Vintage Story anyway.

DarkThoughts,

It's basically TerraFirmaCraft, but as a standalone game, if you ever played that mod.

DarkThoughts,

Weirdly enough the D4 skill tree is even worse than the one (I know not really a tree) in D3. The first abilities almost don't matter and are just "filler" for your resource regen or cooldowns and the main abilities are just a handful, most of them kinda meh and with barely any progression & variety behind them.

As for D2R I wish they would've gone a bit farther with it, like an item filter feels like a must have with how much it spams loot onto your screen to the point where it does not display everything. This can cause you to literally not see something like a high rune on the ground because of some trash items taking up the tooltip space. Or things like the vanity system from D3 and D4 (minus the micro transactions).

Whatever... They lost touch with their base in favor of a new one that they can milk. Their profits and shareholders will love it though. I'm done with them.

DarkThoughts,

I don't care about seasons, or rather more accurately I do not like seasons, but that makes me not care about whatever they do within a season. And season rewards are just there for FOMO, which I hate even more.

DarkThoughts,

You see, actually, it's a false flag conviction to make you think that. It just shows how deep the deep state runs!

DarkThoughts,

A modern engine probably wouldn't hurt.

If it does not have similar levels of moddability then it will absolutely hurt.

DarkThoughts,

That's a years if not decade+ long project though, including major investments of time and money that you could pour into actual games. You can't just stomp a new game engine out of the ground, especially not with how complex video games in of itself have become, and if you want it to be as moddable as their current one.

DarkThoughts,

lol, no.
Starfield is still using the creation engine, which is based on gamebryo, which they're using since Morrowind.

DarkThoughts,

And the topic was about them making a modern engine.

DarkThoughts,

Dude... You are the one missing the point here. lol
We were talking about them making a new actually modern engine, instead of sticking to their old gamebryo trash heap. And then you come along, claiming that they already did that, even though they literally did not. Please stop playing daft.

DarkThoughts,

Small FoV, terrible motion blur, excessive head bobbing.
But it's just a Kickstarter demo so... eh?

DarkThoughts,

I wanted to actually back it too but KS only allows for credit cards as payment method, which basically no one has where I live.

DarkThoughts,

Nope. Just credit cards.

DarkThoughts,

They typically still have a monthly fee or other downsides, so I'd rather not. I'll just hope the devs add some other funding methods before / when the first early access build comes out.

DarkThoughts,

Sweeney generally has a hate boner for Linux. It's nothing really new.

DarkThoughts,

until you're ready to make another pod racing game.

Wouldn't that be nice... But then again, it would be by a garbage publisher that I boycott anyway.

DarkThoughts,

Not really. And that's a PSX, the PSOne was smaller and had round edges.

DarkThoughts,

No, it has been originally named PSX long before the PS2 was even a thought.

DarkThoughts,

Are you some infantile bot or why do you keep repeating what's already been addressed? lol
It was PSX, everyone called it PSX, even websites called it PSX. I know because I had one. You can even still see in the wiki page that its codename was PSX.

DarkThoughts,

The name spread at the time even before the release of the console, so everyone called it that, even websites listed it as PSX. The slim PSOne version came much later, arguably even too late to be of any significance for anyone or anything.

DarkThoughts,

Probably even more dumbed down cartoon toddler graphics than 6.

DarkThoughts,

Same. And I tried, even during a free weekend. But I couldn't even fix it because all the mods that changed the colors or unit sizes seemed to have been outdated and abandoned.
Hopefully Ara will be good, which at least looks to be very promising.

DarkThoughts,

Isn't that using way more energy..?

DarkThoughts,

I don't see the point for either. It's an avocado.

DarkThoughts,

Replace? I've not seen stickers on any veggies or fruits in many many years.

DarkThoughts,

What label? I literally have not seen any sort of stickers on fruits & veggies in years. I only see packaging on softer produce that's prone to damage, quick to dry out, or harder to carry due to size. But again, it's an avocado.

DarkThoughts,

Not sure where the energy of the avocado becomes relevant here. It won't be used to produce electricity.

DarkThoughts,

They did use the same engine for Part 1 so a lot of the tweaks should likely be transferable. But I rather have them take their time for a polished release too. The Part 1 port was a hot mess and took several months to get in an adequate state.

DarkThoughts,

Really hope they learned from the Part 1 disaster.

DarkThoughts,

I don't think Sony released a single PC port with Denuvo yet, so why do you think that's likely to happen in this case?

DarkThoughts,

What's the punch line..?

DarkThoughts,

Hue hue hue

DarkThoughts,

I think they said a while ago that it won't be getting that unfortunately. It's a shame because the engine really would be perfect for full blown custom campaigns and whatnot, or even non linear open world modules.

DarkThoughts,

Possible. DnD as a whole is kinda held back majorly by all the licensing bullshit imo. Hasbro is missing out a lot due to their tight grip on it. Same with Magic.

DarkThoughts,

Did they finally fixed some of the 1 year old bugs?

DarkThoughts,

Looked a bit clunky but I liked the friendly fire by the skeletons.
Definitely has some interesting concepts for sure and seems to be aimed at those who never finish the main quests in Bethesda games.

Edit: Ah, it's actually a Kickstarter campaign. Not sure if 40 bucks is something I'd want to shell out for it at this stage though...

DarkThoughts,

You're literally contradicting the original comment you were agreeing with now. lol

DarkThoughts,

The original comment was in favor of paying such prices, defending the practice.

DarkThoughts,

It's very apparent for this entire comment chain that you don't know what you're saying. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

DarkThoughts,

Not yet anyway. Or are you questioning Modi, the emissary of God?

DarkThoughts,

For now. We'll see how strong India's democratic institutions are I guess. Because ultimately Modi is still very popular and if no one else is willing to fight him and his followers then it doesn't make any difference in what you're voting for. Authoritarians will just do what they want if they feel they can get away with it.
