Video Game Chat Thread - Pre-Alpha Experimental Version

[trent]

Redfall is the type of game that will probably just be abandoned and left to fail. If multiplayer stuff doesn't do well in its first few weeks after release it usually isn't worth a devs effort to save so they'll just move on. I have it downloaded on my Series X and will give it a shot in a while but i'm not expecting much based on how shit Deathloop was.

EDIT: Played for around an hour. It's shit. Looks like a game from 2014, the AI is utterly braindead and it is just a greatest-hits of every other looter-shooter. The open world feels like a ghost town with the occasional group of clueless enemies standing around a house or whatever now and then. It showers you with loot so you have hilariously OP weapons from the start and you never run out of health. I'm not even sure patching can fix it.

Ehh… I think we can throw some blame on Microsoft here. Mainly what is being exposed is the weakness of their game pass model where they have every incentive to push out half baked shit onto game pass to keep people subscribed and feeling like they are getting a good value.

MS should have scrapped redfall or not released it in its current state.

The pressure of starfield being good just got even greater.

It amazes me that games cost $70 while graphics stagnate and performance goes down even at the same resolutions.

The game was allegedly in development for 5 years. There must have been some huge shift in direction at some point because it is really unpolished for something that was being worked on for this long.

I mean, just look at it:

Not to be confused with Arkane's last game, which starred:

Or their game before that:

If any of you reading this are black, I'll bet you can just walk right into Arkane's offices and take whatever you want. In fact, you should do that. Just help yourself to as many free high-end development computers as you'd like. Put one in every room.

Out of curiosity, has anyone ever met a black woman that games? And I mean IRL, not some streamer who just wants e-fame. I've never seen nor heard of a black woman that plays video games.

They probably make up the same percentage of gamers as they do the overall population, which is to say, a tiny minority.

Anecdotally, the only one I knew that was into games was more of the anime/weaboo type, liked JRPGs and Zelda. I don't think she really gave a rat's ass about FPS games. I don't imagine she'd ever look at Arkane's lineup of games and go "Oh, I'm gonna go buy that, because it has a black woman on the cover!"

Also, I love how that the cover comes across as a stronk black woman enslaving an albino as he desperately tries to claw away from the group.

I know one. She's very nice, educated and doesn't consider herself a gamer partially because she wants no part of a stupid culture war where she would be considered a house negro. She plays more core games than I do.

I knew exactly one, who was a girlfriend of a (white) friend of mine. She was eloquent and liked RPGs. You'd never even consider that she was black if you only ever spoke to her on the phone.

Which is sad. The one thing I feel bad for when it comes to black people is that if they try to not be retarded they're looked at as uncle Tom's or house niggers.

We achieved peak graphics and gameplay over a decade ago. The games industry now is a skeleton with grubs feasting on the ghosts of flesh that once remained.

speaking off: https://www.humblebundle.com/games/fight-4-your-friends-coop-shooters

it also has all 4 zombie army games, while the first 3 are mostly spin-offs reusing assets from the main series (although there's a clear increase in effort going from 1-3), zombie army 4 is a proper game in it's own right and imo one of the best "I just wanna mindlessly blast some zombies" co-ops. runs like a charm, no tacked on looter-shooter crap and even the hints of wokeshit can be ignored (although the very last scene is straight up something machinegames would write).

hence I have no real interest in even looking at redfall besides OMG IT'S NEW (and then one look at the cover would curb even that).

I found an interesting new video game channel on YouTube. It's a small channel with a little less than 100,00 subscribers. It's like Civvie11 if Civvie did other games than just old FPS. He seems to be a bit of a leftist fag but it's not that intrusive. I can tolerate what I have seen so far so he can't be that bad. He is probably in his early 30's as well so he is definitely a Millennial and not some cringey Zoomer.

These are the videos I have watched so far.

You can't loot enemy guns in Redfall. They dissappear as soon as the enemy is killed, lmao.

Game doesn't justify being locked at 30 fps. The animation on the vampires is weird and wonderfully fluid, but it's very basic looking otherwise.

I dunno. Can't see this changing dramatically.

The game looked like cringey garbage. They have a puffy haired nigger. The other characters look like people that wouldn't play video games but complain about them on Twitter or some kind of post 2010 human garbage. It screams shoehorned diversity. Following in the cringey footsteps of Far Cry 6 and that Saints Row game. It shouldn't be a surprise that it's hot garbage.

I used to watch this guy too. Enjoy his videos while they last. He's absolutely the pseudo-intellectual navel gazing tankie emo he seems to be and there's a clear increase in wokeshit diatribes when he dives into the meaning and message of games that only slightly smell like they're making a political statement.

Mr. Edders has been a good replacement. Just wish he posted more often.

I want to expand on it. Gaming today is a travesty, we went from a profession filled with engineers that want games to be fun, into a profession filled with businessmen and artists who want to sell us shit in the former and showoff their talent in the latter.

No one cares about player enjoyment, just "engagement". And rather than make things that look good because they are designed well they just cram incredibly intensive features into shit models and call it a day.

Some of his videos were alright, but he's definitely a "gamers are racist transphobes" fag, so I wouldn't be shocked if he ended up trooning out or something.

 

[Articles and Nudes]

Giving Deathloop a shot after Redfall turned out to be a slag heap, and I'm enjoying myself. Colt is a fun character, although Julianna is nowhere near as endearing as the writers think she is.

Just love causing havoc and gore.

I will just avoid his videos and clear them out of my watch history. It's a shame because he can actually be funny. But I would rather not sit through leftist faggotry.
