Video game thread

Wow. No mods yet? I’m genuinely surprised.

Fable 4 is in development. Looks like they’re going back to the medieval setting of the first game.

@ANoobis  
I suppose that’s easier than trying to fix the guns. Maybe this time around they’ll unbreak all the working systems they broke. And not hide basic options & functions behind DLC.
 
Me, I’d kill for a rerelease of Black & White. No graphical updates or anything; just make it work in modern systems and sell it. Oooooooh, we’ve got this notion that we’d quite like t’sail the ocean…

@Officer Hotpants  
From my experience breaking precombines and textures above 2k break fallout 4 hard.  
Also if you have the ugrids loading more them 5 then it also makes fo4 loading slow af. Oh and get this. The fuckers at bethestard though it would be a good idea to load high Polly models in the loading screen. Taking out all the models in the loading screens also shortened my loading.  
And as a further fuck you to Todd those spooky fuckers littered all over the world also cause one hell of a game performance hit. Yes those highpolly fully intact Skeletons with ragdoll physics.

@Is a ponyE  
I’m told they made every texture ridiculously large. Apparently even the fucking grass textures are 2k.

@Is a ponyE  
Wow, just wow, another reason for me to be more genuinely suspicious of how Bethesda coded the upcoming Starfield.  
Todd is no Emil when it comes being ignorant or oblivious to much of what he’s doing. But still, he’s truly become a crooked asshat fuckwad who typically doesn’t care much about what kind of people are in the coding and design teams (especially the former) For me, the TES series began to to go downhill during the development of Oblivion (not counting the DLCs). Though, as much as Oblivion has weird faces for many of the characters outside of the cutscenes, especially in the console versions, it wasn’t the mark of an immediate crash to the franchise, certainly not. Yet Skyrim just had to HAVE MYSTICISM, SPELLCRAFTING and hand-to-hand removed from the base game! They could have brought at least a few of the removed features with the SE, at least, but no! Then the Fuckup 76 bullshit burst came through, and during a 2019 Bethesda conference he slyly sneered at the issues the community at large had with Fallout 76’s bugs, glitches, (especially at launch) and often lackluster/mediocre official events (“I read it on the internet, so it must be true”, said Todd). Though, I will give Bethesda at least some credit with the introduction of characters like the AI MODUS, the Scorch beasts, the tweaking with Wastelanders, and the fact that the total area of the game is quite bigger than base Fallout 4. An interesting miss FO76 is, indeed.
 

@Officer Hotpants  
Yeah they made all the normal maps and bumps 2k which is unnecessary. Even 4k bumps and normals are dumb.

@Absol95  
76 is a pile of wank. I only got it when it was free so I can rip stuff from the game. Same with creation kit stuff in fo4 really. Only I did pay for that

Why businesspeople should have no involvement in the entertainment industry.

@TrukkinDuck  
Tbh that’s only half of the issue. The other half are people who join mid franchise and decides they want to make their own creation rather then respecting what said IP is or the lore around it. (To many retcons nowadays in to many shows and games). Hell just look at the new halo TV show. The people making it said they haven’t played any halo games. New Things are just “reboots” rather then a spin-offs or continuation.

@Is a ponyE  
And then there’s Dark Fate which claims to be sequel which became an instant fat lie.

@Absol95  
>fallout 1st
 
i still laugh at the time a anon bought the domain site or whatever the promo was being advertised on and shat all over the page

@TrukkinDuck  
The entertainment people are even worse with their agendas. At least the business people want to make money.

A match made in heaven

This looks so good.

I said nigger in a FoF server and got banned seconds later. I thought that was very funny.

@IvanSatoru  
If they didn’t ask to see your N Word Card, that is racism.

@IvanSatoru  
I named a character Nigger_KillerX in Diablo II a while ago, but not enough people were offended so I deleted him and just played the game as normal. D2 is like, the one game I’d rather not risk getting permanently banned from anyway.

@Humble Oriathan  
When I was younger I couldn’t spell ninja. So for a year my steam account was madniggerbrickskills. Most people just laughed at it. Times were sure different then. :(

@Is a ponyE  
They were, and i miss those times dearly…God, I hate how mainstream video games have become now. I want to go back to when chads and women laughed at dorky guys like me for being addicted to games.

@Anonymous #EB59  
Not sure why that came out as Anonymous

@Anonymous #EB59  
The problem is not so much mainstream, its that the industry is often headed by clowns and hacks nowadays.

@Anonymous #EB59  
Ahhh. That fetish.

I made it to the giant golden tree you always see in Elden Ring. And you know what’s inside it?? A dude who kicks your ass 500 times!

@Humble Oriathan  
Sounds about right.
