I have a love hate relationship with TS4; TS3 is so much better but I like some of the improvements that they did in 4.
My biggest peeve is how it just breaks itself over time. It's like the sandbox wasn't designed to run for more than 30 ingame days or something. Oh- this and how the maps are actually tiny compared to 3.
They're reintroducing old mechanics into 5, like the ability to retexture anything. But the game itself looks like it's designed for mobile so I'll just keep an eye on the competitors which are popping up.
Also; for your issue there's a sizeable modding community for it now. There's probably a mod which removes that mechanic
It's wild how downgraded 5 is compared to 4. Everything is numbed down with the only upgrade being the visuals.
This video shows it quite well, it's pretty shocking what they stripped out.
It probably won't be saints row bad, but I reckon it won't be too far off it to be honest.
The main stories and characters have been getting progressively worse over the years and this one won't be any different. Especially with the writers that seem to plague every media outlet.
It'll be a combination of V and RDR2. It'll look nice but with the standard GTA jank.
Don't forget 5 was a massive downgrade from 4 tech wise. It had so much more in it, the vehicles were all round better. You could pickup things and throw them.
Unfortunately yes, they're very subversive and careful about what they post. So to people who don't particularly pay attention it just comes off as news and not just propaganda.
The license fee I'd argue is a mixed bag, most people will have various streaming accounts and not want to be paying a subscription fee for terrestrial TV; which they don't consume.
With the other factor being that they're definitely overreaching on who should be paying it; they're actively trying to justify a license for any device which may consume their service..
I don't trust the BBC and don't want to fund them, but it's hard to tell how many people feel the same.
The BBC continues to be garbage. They're trying to push the blame onto the GP for him being offered the vaccine because his BMI was incorrectly stated on his medical record.
Everyone was offered the vaccine regardless of age, it doesn't matter if he got it early because of him having "a BMI of neary 69" he would've taken the vax anyway and it still probably would've killed him. But I guess that isn't front page news.
Defeat kotaku by not talking about them.
They're already burning, but making shit like this just pushes them back into the limelight. Next we'll get a bunch of articles saying incels are trying to shut down journalism or some bull.
Definitely a double edged sword adding them to rimrim. But it raises the question if any drama has been caused by someone publicly playing an <insert buzzword here> human only faction which cleanses the planet of everything else.
Having actually linked my psn account to my hd2 as a bout of naitivety months ago; I'm going to unlink it and request a refund.
This is a bullshit reason, they have licenses and steam IDs which they can ban off the platform. Playstation accounts are free.
I can see this as either playstation trying to fiddle their active player count for their shareholders. Or they're trying to purge people's entire psn libraries for wrong think if they step out of line.
Either way. I'll be trying to get a refund; won't touch it again after the 30th
a bear wouldn't draw a vengefully violent meme
Correct! It'll just eat you alive instead!
The absolute worse part of the whole thing is Humza didn't even get kicked out for the reasons of him being a massive racist and hating the majority population.
It was because he went against the absolutely psychotic Green party. (If you're unaware, the Green party in the UK are the hipsters of loony lefties. They were REEing to the high heavens about mankind before it was mainstream)
His crimes? Stopping a climate change bill and allegedly stopping puberty blockers to minors. Which is oddly based, but I guess being a massive racist isn't enough to stay in control when you go against the other psychos.
They already indirectly bully themselves by playing absolute garbage.
If they're going to fuel the shite machine by putting money into games which last a couple of years tops; or games which are broken and won't get fixed then the deserve everything they get.
Meanwhile I'll just sit here and play passion projects by a handful of developers which have been going, and will keep going for years more. Because unlike mainstream companies they actually care about what they're making.
Entertaining how they're immediately trying to bring it back straight into a trilogy.
They don't even know how the "first" Danny Boyle one will be received, 28 days was an exceptional film (let down only by them filming it in a digital format) with 28 weeks being a bit of a weaker sequel. It should've ended there.
If the first one flops, I doubt she'd direct the sequel.
That is part of the reason why you have groups like the "Monster Raving Loony Party" there's no way that they'll get in but its an active refusal to vote for any of the big parties.
I'm still going to vote as I don't fully trust the system as I imagine its harder to change a vote than it is to just fill a blank one in.
The lotus eaters just did a decent segment on her; but to add a couple of days after that interview she announced a new line of merch.
It's all a grift
That's all levels of fucked up, I've heard stories about it. Like the disabled athlete who was offered it because she was waiting for a stair lift..
First time I've heard of it abbreviated though, I hate how they pick these terms which sounds so innocent.
Aha, thanks!
...Whats MAID?
Wasn't it nexus banning the pro-ESG things?
And I'm pretty sure the modding community wouldn't touch it because of pretty much the reasons in Lethn's comment. It's an overall shit broken game which nobody wants to play.
Just wait until they fill the year and have overlap, I'll grab the popcorn to watch the infighting.
Possibly the engines starting back up again, but as the lights go on/off multiple times its probably some form of catastrophic mechanical failure onboard.
...Can these ships even be remotely piloted? Thats the fastest way to find out if its a cyberattack or not.
That's a shame, always sucks to see good games get ruined by greed
Saw the trailer for this the other day at the cinema and couldn't help but laugh.
Reckon it's going to be a straw man on current day politics or will be unexpectedly woke?
From what's I've summarised from the reviews, the most common complaints are:
Denuvo eating CPU Poor performance even on top spec rigs Single character only (without manually deleting save files from your disk) Micro transactions in a single player game, $2 to edit your character (which you can do eventually ingame with it currency) you can also buy materials. Not sure what the others are (there's apparently 21 MTs)
Poor performance can be fixed in time, it isn't hard to QA test before release but it's difficult and time consuming to do it for every hardware combo out there.
But they've crippled themselves and shown everyone where they stand by monetising the fuck out of a single player experience; this sort of thing is more acceptable for mobile gatcha games which is still a predatory shit market.
Genuine shame really. I haven't heard much about the gameplay itself nor story so they're probably lacking.
Pretty good documentary, thanks for sharing!
As soon as they added the funny tag with YouTubers then attempting to find the funniest ones it just turned into the usual cesspit like so many other sites.
I've also argued about BG3 being a bad game around launch, most people burnt out or moved onto the next thing before they hit act 3. It's a baldurs gate game in only name, it's just a skinsuit of a legendary series.
