Does anyone play Grey Hack at all? https://store.steampowered.com/app/605230/Grey_Hack/ It's an online multiplayer hacking game with a simulated os. built in exploit store  or if you'd rather make your own you can.  Has built in guild chat rooms. Roadmap available here. I know some in here have had fun with some of the other hacking games, but haven't heard much about this one. https://steamcommunity.com/app/605230/discussions/1/2561864094342538308/

HopperUK posted:theHunter: Call of the Wild just added a reserve based on New Zealand's south island. So if you wanted to wander around Middle Earth and hunt feral goats - and who doesn't! - this is your chance. It's 4.19 in UK money so probably six bucks or so. oh it's gorgeous down there. might pick it up.

What's the deal with Kingdom Come: Deliverance? It has that thing where all of the reviews are either excessively positive or exceedingly negative, without much wiggle room. Is it just one of those things where, like, if you're down for eurojank exploration it's rad, but if you go in expecting indie Skyrim you're setting yourself up to get disappointed?

Cyberpunk has absolute poo poo tons of floating cigarettes, floating guns, NPCs holding a phantom gun, NPCs holding a phantom gun while a different real gun floats besides them, and so on. I saw a fair amount of NPCs t-posing in various situations. A lot of objects in the world that indicate they can be picked up cannot be picked up. A lot of objects in the world that can be picked up, do not have indicators they can be picked up. The range at which those indicators appear varies greatly. NPCs sometimes walk down stairs and then their head spontaneously explodes. This also happens semi-frequently when you drop a body on the ground. Any NPC you can talk to with a dialogue selection menu has a rather large radius where their dialogue menu activates, meaning you can no longer pick up or interact with other objects around that NPC. That's a whole bunch of "ignorable" bugs immediately off the top of my head, I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch more. This is on a high-end PC, if that matters. I still fuckin loved the game and couldn't put it down.

i was in a super emotional scene and one dude had to take a chip out of his head, but it turned into a gun, so he had a huge gun sticking out the side of his head, which he then pulled out and gave to me.

Gamers got furiously angry over any criticism by insisting it was a faithful historical accurate recreation of the Austrian countryside in the 1300s (i.e no black people or it would break "immersion") and then were perfectly fine with memes and 4th wall references in game. Also regarding the dev/s; separate the art from the artist etc. but even in game there are still some wildly questionable or dumb things, like a perk that male characters take to smell "manly" that makes women swoon over them (some +% to dialogue or something)

Zereth posted:And has some real weird ideas about women. You can get a bonus to charisma or whatever when talking to women, by being dirty enough you get stealth penalties. I see that one come up all the time, but I think it’s pretty funny and a much more interesting perk than simple percentage bonuses and poo poo, it gives you the ability to make smelling like poo poo viable. The race poo poo and some of the writing, sure. But that perk is great.

There is plenty to be said here, but I'll recommend this RPS article about KC: D vaunted "historical accuracy." Andreas Inderwildi posted:Right off the bat, it’s clear that KCD’s main interests are politics, war, and material culture (weapons, architecture, etc). Its claims of historical accuracy are measured almost solely against these interests. The more intangible aspects of life, such as social conduct, creativity, language, religious belief and mentality, aren’t given as much attention. KCD mostly assumes that people behaved, spoke, and reasoned just like we do today: throw in a “God be with you” as the opening line of every dialogue tree, and voila, medieval conversation!

The race poo poo and some of the writing, sure. But that perk is great. I remember reading something (possibly on this very forum, back when the game first came out) about how that dirty-charisma perk was just a troll by the devs and didn't actually do anything in-game. It was all in the character's head, thinking they're hot poo poo when they just smelled like, well, you know. I thought it was a neat little thing if it's true, which I doubt, since I've never seen anything else corroborating that story.

Is it just one of those things where, like, if you're down for eurojank exploration it's rad, but if you go in expecting indie Skyrim you're setting yourself up to get disappointed? Apart from all the controversial stuff mentioned here, the game does also have a lot of design decisions that can be confusing and frustrating for some people. For example, manual saving can only be accomplished with a limited consumable potion that you need to buy or craft. Another example is that your character's combat skills are absolutely atrocious at the start, which, while appropriate for the story since you are just a peasant, can be difficult to get used to as you will need to do a lot of in-game training not only to grasp how the combat works (which does have a neat For Honor-esque directional attacks to weakpoints and such), but also to have your character build up experience to be effective. Combat can also be an issue as it is built for one-on-ones but you will constantly be forced into you-against-many scenarios. And, as stated, it's a big open-world game, so some slight jank is to be expected. Basically, from what I can tell, it seems to be quite an immersive sim at times with how much work you need to put in and how many things the game tracks (such as hygiene and your outfit being more than just armor points) and how unforgiving the world can be, but that can be way more unforgiving than some might expect.

In retrospect, the devs being super psyched about making a game where there were no black people in it was probably a bad sign for Kingdom Come Deliverance.

Funky Valentine posted:In retrospect, the devs being super psyched about making a game where there were no black people in it was probably a bad sign for Kingdom Come Deliverance. It's a major red flag, but whenever race comes up on issues of historical accuracy it requires a bit more then a surface look to really read the intent of the author. It's not likely to be someone arguing in good faith, but it's possible. Usually little more then a few minutes looking into it would be enough to suss out either a racist or a genuinely passionate history weirdo. Anything related to Crusader Kings fans though, yikes. There's a reason for CK3 the devs just flat out said "We're removing deus vult, we don't care about accuracy it's a modern nazi slogan" and the CK messages boards imploding every time the game is updated to allowing something not technically accurate.

The change in collecting points toward discount coupons sounds bad though. No more achievement hunting, but "social events" and "save file transfers?" I'm guessing some exec figured that people were taking advantage with the discounts and this was their genius solution.

You take 2 .22's, 1 in flesh, 1 in augs, befor you can get out that dam asalt gun. Is it your job to be a human target-practis backstop?

All I remember about KCD was endless grumbling about historical accuracy with nerds pretending it was going to be Skyrim but HISTORIC and how, the first and only time I watched someone play the game, I happened to catch the guy in the process of crafting a potion that made you see in the dark.

Rebel Blob posted:To get directly at what other posters have been talking about, the game's director Dan Vavra explicitly staked out his position as pro-gamergate and anti-SJW/progressive, which he conflates. In some of his interviews he still carries a torch from the Cold War and further conflates his online enemies with literal Communism. From what I understand, for Vavra it all comes down to what he perceives as "censorship." He's obsessed with the notion that people are trying to silence him with their criticism and stop him from creating games. He vehemently took a side in the online gaming culture war, gaining both die-hard supporters and detractors. Not that I am saying both sides are morally equal, but that is gets reflected in the polarized reviews. Dan Vára has been deranged ever since he finished Mafia; he is utterly convinced that Mafia and M2 are the only good games ever published and has spent the last 15? or so years in a very public downward spiral to alienate and badmouth everyone, to wage a crusade against games that aren't his (e.g. Half-Life was pure garbage because it was less immersive than Mafia and so on) and to see a conspiracy to take the throne of immersive game design away from him behind every criticism. He must be incredibly unpleasant to work with. But the team that designed the non-gameplay elements of Kingdom Come was composed mostly of academics from the Charles University. steinrokkan fucked around with this message at 11:17 on Dec 17, 2020 |

On a completely different note, can someone recommend me good space 4x? I'd like it to have at least some sort of UI/Graphics (the nearly purely text based ones don't do it for me). I also played Stellaris to death while wishing it was so much more. On the other side I kind of bounced right off Endless Space 1 and 2. I like the exploration aspect of Stellaris but found the systems (such as planetary management) too bland.
