That's extremely unsurprising but it's gonna make a lot of nerds mad and Chris is definitely going to post up a storm about it on rpgcodex

"I can no longer sit back and allow nationalist shitposting, nationalist indoctrination, nationalist subversion, and the German nationalist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious game balance."

Considering his love for RPG Codex and the way he used them as his personal cheerleading squad on several occasions, I can't say I'm extremely surprised. It still sucks major rear end and will almost certainly create huge shitstorm, but that man was making clear he is an rear end in a top hat for quite a while.

Has there been any talks of FF7R pc version? Just started playing it on ps4 pro and the framerate at 30 is super annoying. FF games are so action heavy and fast paced I would prefer them to focus more on framerate, there isn't even the option to chose framerate over resolution like you normally have on pro. I will probably buy it instantly if it comes out, its a lot better than 15 so far in terms of gameplay and customization.

Depends on the FF and what you compare them to, to be fair.

To answer Ulio's original question, almost certainly but I wouldn't expect it for at least a year after the original PS4 release.

His rpgcodex meltdown was as clear a sign as any he had bought wholesale into the nerd-god mythos around himself and I am not remotely shocked he would do something like that.

Wasn't he also frequently getting drunk on livestream fundraisers and being a dick to people? Like not in a ~funny~ way but genuinely frustrating to the people around him trying to manage the donations and stream?

Can't think of anyone falling so far so fast in nerd lore in the last 5 years. Maybe the Star Citizen guy but I don't follow that enough to know what the current situation is.

The last two have been very fast paced, try playing FFXV on consoles, there is no tearing but the framerate is all over the place because the combat has so many dashes.

March next year is not too far I guess for a 2nd replay, might be worth it if they make it as in depth as XV port.

Games no, DLC yes. If you re-buy say The Sims 4 on Steam it will enable any DLC you bought on Origin.

Thanks. The flags I don't care about tbh, but if it still has other issues I'll skip it.

However, looking for the original on GOG and not finding it made me realize that Commandos 2 had swastikas and the only reason I have it on Steam is because Steam sells the german version. GOG doesn't. I wonder if the technical issues I have are related to that, wouldn't be the first game where the german version didn't get all the updates the international versions got (still mad about Sleeping Dogs).

Yeah, sadly if you're in Germany you can't get it on GOG and I think the Steam version isn't updated either.

Just checked out the Regiments demo: It's got massive Wargame (the RTS series) vibes, but with a faster, more streamlined feel, along with a good measure of World in Conflict and a pinch of Company of Heroes thrown in (notably the retreat mechanic). I particularly enjoyed how infantry works, in that they all come with transports and are always considered one unit rather than separate infantry/transport units. This made loading/unloading infantry completely effortless rather than trying to deal with fiddly transport micro that seemingly exists in every single RTS ever.

Planned to be single player only though, if that's a deal-breaker for you.

Cool, I'll give it a look.

It's unsurprising because he's someone you don't like, who's also reputed to be difficult to work with? That automatically means he's a sex predator?

It always weirds me out a little when people say things like that. If you want to do heinous poo poo, you're apparently best off projecting a Mister Rogers persona.

Nobody called him a sexual predator until that tweet happened. Its just given his lovely behaviour, it doesn't come as a huge shock because its another lovely thing to add to the pile of lovely things he did.

'Don't judge the poor man because he was just being bashed on twitter by some rando' and 'Don't talk about the poor man in the games industry in this thread about videogames'. Just uh, replace poor man with alleged sexual predator and rando with potential victim.

Yes. Not talking about this is definitely the right choice. Totally.

I posted the tweet in here because I want people to be informed about this guy when they might buy his works in the future. This isn't to say that you can't buy his works - I'm getting Dying Light 2 myself whenever it drops because I loving loved Dying Light 1 and he's not the whole of the company - but being informed > not being informed.

It's completely unsurprising that a man in a position of power and with a cult of personality is a sexual predator and if you find this strange you need to crawl back under your rock and just stop posting.
