I used to play Left4Dead2 with mods that made the player's Touhous and Miku.

>>312 https://smuglo.li/support/res/1467.html There's irc screencaps on every site involved's /meta/ boards.

>>287 And also as far as I read in rs2 vietnam there are dlc but they are just pure cosmetics.

I want to play radmod again, just for old times' sake. The worst part is that there was an update of it just before 8ch died

>>6140 There was a thread for it on julay/v/.

>>6139 A mod team apparently came out with a Winter War mod.

>>6142 >Winter War mod Tell us more!

>>6143 Nuggets, Suomi's, Molotovs and tonks.

>>6139 Yeah DLC is just cosmetic. Base game is decent, but definitely different from Red Orchestra. >>6142 >>6143 Can vouch that Winter War mod is a lot of fun. Plays more similar to RO2 than RS2.

>>291 NEOTOKYO is fun.

>>6145 >Yeah DLC is just cosmetic. Base game is decent, but definitely different from Red Orchestra. Well that makes sence because tactics and enviroment in vietnam war were diffrent then in easttern front of ww2.

>>6147 And weapons.

>>6148 And if you guts want and don't know I could tell you some info about 83 game

>>6145 >>6139 There's no such thing as 'just' cosmetics: they're still jewing you for jpgs that cost them essentially nothing to make. The cosmetics still also bloat the filesize pointlessly, harm the ability to easily detect which team or class someone is, possibly harm the actual realism of the setting depending how well it's done and require servers to be locked into the central cosmetics server which with TWI particularly has in the past been used to require mods to get confirmation to use the API from the devs or be hidden in some inferior 'unofficial/unranked/non-item-server' part of the server browser that basically kills them from the start. Just because almost everyone is doing it doesn't make it acceptable.

>>6150 It's not Battlefield and as far as I see they are realistic outside the green armymen which is just a joke. Wait it's not a cosmetic pack but a fucking toy soldier themed shit

>>6151 Wait... It isn't that bad

>>6151 Going back to RO:OST they always tried to keep weapon choice and where possible uniforms aligned with the map's date and setting. They didn't always get it right but it mostly worked. Looking at RO2 you'd have cosmetic changes that didn't make sense and weapon unlocks that were outright ahistorical for 'balance reasons' but I know those aren't a thing. I know it's not a huge detail but it's a change of emphasis from what they were doing originally which was going for maximum immersion not simfag realism but immersion, one is simulating everything correctly and the other is using game mechanics to make it 'feel' like it's real even if those mechanics are less realistic over to profit and marketability driven decisions.

>>415 Music has to cross the air gap so there's no way to fully lock it down. Once I can play it I can record it. There might be a small amount of quality loss but even still it' has to be streamed to my device somehow.

>>6154 TBH my favorite was Tib sun. All the others are meh. The music is 10/10 though. favorite track?

>>6155 >favorite track? Probably either Act on Instinct or Grinder.

>>422 Cause muh hawt pr0n actresses! I hated CNC 3, generals was the last one that 'made the cut' for me

>>422 Cnc 3 is alright ra3 is shit because the time travel crap is some really high class shit.

>>410 Just the ones from cncnet

>>6159 *Just use the ones from cncnet

>>422 I've never liked either personally. Well except for that one track from Kane's Wrath which apparently I can't post here because anon.cafe won't accept it even though that other anon posted mp3s successfully

>>6161 This one? Or Act on instinct KW edition? Have some generals ost while you're at it

>>6162 That's the one. Best post-Klepacki track, at least outside of Generals.

>>372 Yeah a lot of people are bailing julay now. >>6149 I'm looking forward to that, pls tell. >>6150 I wasn't defending them, just confirming they add no gameplay. I certainly wouldn't recommend buying them. Forgot about Army Men though, that was actually pretty fun for a bit. >>6146 >NEOTOKYO I've wanted to play that for a long time but it's always dead when I've checked. It has an amazing soundtrack.

>>6164 >I wasn't defending them, just confirming they add no gameplay. I certainly wouldn't recommend buying them. My bad then. >I've wanted to play that for a long time but it's always dead when I've checked. It has an amazing soundtrack. The gameplay isn't as good as the soundtrack and aesthetics might lead you to believe.

>>6164 >pls tell. Well it's a coldwar gone hot scenario. There are as far as I know three factions: >US Army >British army >Soviet army It's supposed to have a high player counts (80+) and there are vehicles, land and sky maybe even sea/water. And also it has a new mechanic whete you can rest your gun on some enviromental stuff. And also there is a thing whete the gun sights expand when you aim through them. Aaaand you can stop in middle of reload and you can shoot from it when you have a bullet in the chamber. And it will pick up where it ended. Weapons: As far as I've seen >M16 >M60 >L1A1 >AK74 >L2A3 Sterling >M79 >M1911 >PK >L7A2 >Bren lmg >L42A1 >RPK >SVD >F1 grenade >vz.61 škorpion >MP5 Vehicles: >Land rover mk.3 >UAZ-469 >And maybe Abrams and other tanks >And jets im not too much into planes, sorry

I can heartily recommend Armored Brigade. It's fairly fun once you get used to the pathfinding/AI logic. It's fairly similar to Close Combat, except that it's in bigger scale and set in cold war.

>>6136 >I just wanted to play video games no you didn't you fucking ni/gg/er

I long for the day we get a tactically focused squad based Halo game centered around ODST preforming subterfuge against Covenant forces on a forerunner shield world.

>>4493 TBH Nosrogs are easy mode. Then again, just stack upgraded kevlar plates. Also warfare is not really balanced

Anyone try Escape From Tarkov? To me it basically looks like the perfect game that I've been waiting for since Delta Force 2. But I'm a poorfag and I don't think my computer can run it. Also STALKER co-op/MP mod Ray of Hope looks like it will finally be released soonish. In closed beta now!

>>6171 This about sums it up.

>>6172 Ten years ago I would've been outraged at how retarded this is. Today I'm only wondering if they'll actually "finish" the game and never patch out the guaranteed game breaking bugs, or if they'll just take the money and run because what the fuck are their retard goy customers gonna do about it? If they're stupid enough to drop money on this shit there's no way they have enough saved up to sue.

>>4337 It got overplayed and no one wanted to host it. SEF also still hasn't enabled PvP so the coop gamemode gets tiresome after a while. >>4429 >/tech/ Are they still around?

Are any of the Civilization games worth my time? >>291 Some more /k/ tier games are XCOM the classics and the new ones. I admit that XCOM: Enemy Within is kind of dumbed down but I still think it's a fun game. Even though some might disagree with this, and I understand why they would, I actually enjoyed XCOM 2. My primary reason is because it legitimately made me feel like an insurgent fighting a superior military. It could almost be a Vietcong or Taliban simulator. Almost every engagement I got into was opened with an explosive. I'd say the worst part of the game are the character models, and the story related characters. I didn't really care for any of them., and Xenonauts with the Community edition mod is pretty fun. I have encountered a few game breaking bugs that actually caused me to uninstall the game but outside of that I think it's pretty fun Resident Evil 5 and 6 are games that I've found surprisingly enjoyable, If you can suspend your disbelief that they are resident evil games. Resident Evil 5 is fun because the first part of the game has you taking on waves of African niggers and you can roleplay with your /k/ids that you are fighting to save Rhodesia or take back South Africa. Resident Evil 6 is fun because it's a mechanically interesting 3rd person shooter. It's what gears of war isn't. It's not a perfect game by any means but it is fun; It's just not a good Resident Evil game. In fact, I would actually call Resident Evil 6 the worst Resident Evil if we are comparing it to the other games since it's nothing like them and almost completely throws horror out the window. It's mostly fun due to its game play and the hand to hand combat. A final game I would like to recommend, especially if you happen to live near an extremely culturally enriched area, would be Moonman Doom. The game itself is a mod for Doom and you are given 3 characters to play as. Moonman, Ben Garrison, and Adolf Hitler. There's nothing particularly crazy about the mod but it's primarily the subject matter that makes it enjoyable. I would recommend playing it you feel yourself stressed out and frustrated at the world. It's really great for that purpose.

>>6174 >Are they still around? nanochan.

>>6176 this. any /tech/ board on a non-onion address or that needs javascript is illegitimate.

>>6175 >Are any of the Civilization games worth my time? 4. You should also give Alpha Centauri a try but if you are just looking for Civ like gameplay check out Endless Legend and Oriental Empires.

>>6175 >moonman mod There is another /pol/ tier games as well, such as "Angry Goy". They're simple 16-bit 2d shooters which can take just 30-60 minutes for walkthrough, but has a lot of fun encounters and and racist/edgy humor. First one: https://piratebay.life/description.php?id=16657115 And second: https://piratebay.life/description.php?id=27578206

I fucking wanted to just play games. First time I check the bay12 devlog since march and the toad fucking went down the rabbit hole. How hard is it to make a game without pulling a retard and injecting politics like dumb fucking spergs? At least anomaly hasn't gone down that road yet

>>6180 He already put tranny dwarfs in a while back. Why does this surprise you?

>>6181 >>6180 Or come to think of it might only have mentioned planning too. I've been out of the loop for a while.

>>6180 >No amount of protection afforded to white people is worth the horror we continue to perpetuate in this country against millions in marginalized communities Well toady maybe if the niggers acted like civilized people and didn't chimpout constantly the police wouldn't fucking need to gun them down constantly. Christ half the time I am watching body cam footage it feels like the cops are doing everything they can in their power to not shoot niggers. I hope they do abolish the police so they can see what happens when they aren't there to protect the niggers from the backlash of the victims of their crimes.

>>6183 He doesn't give a shit, probably lives in some suburb or small white community where he doesn't have to personally deal with them anyways. So he can get the social points for being a "good person" without any personal risk. Like the racial version of a champagne socialist, he's just another hypocrite. Probably thinks his limited contact with shitskins at convenient stores or the talented tenther at his job or his gay nigger friend means he is highly integrated. I've seen this so many times it's like a stereotype unto itself. As soon as the real masses of shitskins start moving near him, he'll relocate to a more remote area for "better schools" or some euphemism that avoids the racial truth. Then vote to flood his new area with rapefugees, and repeat the process until he dies, and can leave the mess to future generations.

Well lads are you ready for Cyberpunk 2077?

>>6185 No. I'm gonna still wait for 83'

>>6184 He's some dweeb who spends all day inside making shitty games. Even if he's in a nigger infested area he never interacts with them. Remember nerds are losers, faggots and trannies. They all want to be included because no one wants them around them. They support leftism as a personal vehicle to not be outcasts wearing womens clothing with a full beard. >>6185 What race is she? She's got a nigger nose, chink eyes and blonde hair. No wonder she represents America.

I'ld like to recommend darkwood to anyone who hasn't tried it yet. It has a lot of horror elements that should keep you on your toes as a lone wolf and a resource management system that makes you focus most your time on exploring areas to keep you alive. You're basically a lone wolf throughout the entire game as other characters don't add much value to your progression outside of being exploitable sources of ammo and weapon parts. >>6185 This is not surprising after they released that gameplay footage playing as their scrawny dike who acts like the typical strong feminist lead role. The only game i've been looking forward to for the past years was ReadyOrNot and it seems to be in development limbo still.

>>6187 >chink eyes Strelok, those aren't chink eyes, those are middle east nigger eyes. And that hair is dyed, the base/root, her eyebrows, and the belly hair are all brown. Shit's disgusting, man.

>>6185 I remember the first trailer, I though you would be playing a cop, then they release the gameplay and it looked like shit.

>>6185 Page its from

>>6190 I've been waiting for this game to come out for SEVEN. MOTHERFUCKING. YEARS. For 6.5 of them I never once though to myself "maybe it'll be gay". I don't know whether it was ignorance, wishful thinking, or both, but now I know I'm almost certainly not buying that shit. I bought my ass a Vickers sling recently as a sort of consolation prize to myself for being fooled into that shit. Maybe I'll rent it for a weekend someday and roleplay as Moonman. >>6191 >America completes its transformation into a muttified oligarchical technocracy, despite a vague 20-year "technological recession" <which honestly just sounds like a two-decade-long electrospaz-free paradise to me >still talk about climate change, famine, and gun culture like those have always been bigger threats to people >that not-so-subtle mirroring of cyberpsychosis to lone-wolf sadboy school shooters Twenty bucks on at least three of these things being a side quest plot element, or at least a throwaway line/image: >muh dangerous holonet-obsessed right-wingers >gun BAD >but police brutality tho ;,( >sex work is REAL work >hey, cyber-heroin isn't THAT bad >past and tradition bad, tech and progress good (presented without irony or juxtaposition) >well all these wonderfully diverse street gangs suck but at least the food is good (bonus points for this being said while the food is all a mystery meat/chemical/soy/corn syrup slurry) Truly, the future is pozzed. 1st pic is related.

>>6192 To be fair, that first pic can sound a lot like these protests of peace. I'll wait to see how deep their rabbit hole goes, no use in worrying about specific themes in a game when we don't know how they're handled. It can go multiple ways although for climate change and diversity there will be a particular slant. Cyberpsychosis mirrors lone-wolf actors but it also mirrors a wider trend of isolation that memes such as the doomer caught hold of. To that end they might bring in some of the ideas of Ted Kaczynski. The gun as a symbol of individualism might persist and if it is a part of the genre at all, there will be hubs of absolute depravity and people wasting away. Either way, we'll find out how many SJWs they've hired over the years.

>>6192 >and roleplay as Moonman You can't your background is pre told and so is most of this fucking garbage game.

>>6193 Wasn't it anita sarcastian that was badgering cdproject red for a job or something?

>>6195 She tried like she succeeded with EA and Bioware, but did she actually get hired? Being in Poland they've always been a bit removed from the rest of the industry.

>>6192 >For 6.5 of them I never once though to myself "maybe it'll be gay" Well, at least the concept art and the first trailer were nice.

Might as well post the rest of the book. files.catbox.moe/nc0953.7z files.catbox.moe/mfl283.7z

>>6196 Who knows? We know on the surface CDPR didn't take the offer. Maybe they did some "internal" training and kept it under wraps (unlikely due to sarcastian's ego trip)... Completely sucks that the only games I might have been hyped for this year all went to shit stalker was the only other game. On the bright side, factorio is out of early access and star citizen is finally going to crash and burn.

>>6199 >star citizen is finally going to crash and burn. What is happening with star citizen, did they run out of .png spaceships?

>>6200 I remember hearing something about a roadmap for a roadmap.

>>6201 >>6200 Apparently they duped Clive Calder into giving them some 40 million marketing $$$ when the project was about to die in 2018, Clive and his son are growing increasingly displeased that Christ Roberts&co. aren't fullfilling any of the rumored conditions of their trade if I recall Squadron 54 was supposed to release in Q1 2021 so now CIG are trying to draw things out as usual and sell more jpegs roadmaps.

>>6202 That game is everything wrong with games today. Also scope creep is a mission killer like the recent us 'wars'

Hey what's with all this negativity how about we shall talk about Far cry 2? I recently got to act 2.

>>6204 Far Cry 2 is a boring game with neat atmosphere.

>>6205 >Boring Then you shure have a boring live.

I've been meaning to try out more games like 7,62 Hard Life/High Calibre because of the amount of guns it has if you add the GEG mod then it also adds in copies of existing platforms like the Imbel FALs, Norinco & Yugoslav copies, plus original weapons like Type 38 & 99 Arisakas that really scratch my hoarding and gun-collecting autism. I heard Jagged Alliance 2 with certain mods is a must try but any of you guys got other recommendations for games with just sheer amounts of guns?

>>6207 Check out Marauder it's made by the same devs as 7.62 but is more story driven.

>>6207 Autistic SoC or CoC mods and Silent Storm. >>6208 I like Marauder plenty but it's not exactly full of guns.

>>6205 Far Cry 2 takes place in an a UAC(unnamed African country) that's extremely war torn and has a lot of shit going on. I don't know how you could find it boring. The driving aspect of the game can get somewhat annoying and on harder difficulties i find it a struggle to take on enemies in an upfront fight but I wouldn't describe it as boring. Why do you find it boring? Have you considered it's the way you play? Maybe turn up the difficulty? ultimately, if you don't like Far Cry 2 I can't make you enjoy it; you have to do that on your own. So ask yourself, why do you find Far Cry 2 boring? Also any other streloks with their own experiences regarding Far Cry 2, please share them.

Yuri is now mainstream enough to sell bro shooters.

>>6210 >Why do you find it boring? Far Cry 2 is boring because the open world contributes nothing but repetitive driving you have to stop every 5 minutes to deal with a respawning checkpoint/loot diamonds and repetitive side quests blow up the endlessly circling empty truck to actually get guns not made of tissue paper, repeat this 20+ times. Now when you finally get to one of the missions with actual content you've got to deal with the retarded gun degradation system, one-sees all-alerted AI/generally buggy stealth AI and just generally bland gunfights and once you've seen one of those you've seen them all. The entire game is basically the same from start to finish except the variety of unsatisfying gun arguably the issue might be more in the way the NPCs react to being shot you're carrying changes a little. Repetition without change is filler and Far Cry 2 is just filler: the game. Hell even the map is basically the same throughout which, while realistic and fitting into the African shithole theme, hardly makes it enjoyable to play. It could have been a good game if they kept what worked (atmosphere/setting, The Jackal, concept of the buddy system, physics engine, wounded AI behaviour) and dropped the stuff that clearly didn't (the open world, the timer-based gun degradation that existed only to justify the existence of side content, timer-based malaria, 4 weapon limit + 'typed' slots). Both Far Cry 1 and Crysis, Crysis moreso, built a game where you had mini open segments for each mission giving you all the benefits of an open world in terms of variety approach but none of the downsides of empty travelling and repetition and that would have done wonders for Far Cry 2. Even scaling down the open world but removing the repetition would have helped, look at how SoC uses a much smaller open world with gating to its advantage. >Have you considered it's the way you play? Maybe turn up the difficulty? Changed both, doesn't help with difficulty in particular just turning the enemy into sponges and still leaving the game too easy. I know there are mods that try and fix the game too but I never bothered looking into those and 'mods will fix it' is not an argument for the base game being good. I even tried the game again ~4 years ago to see if I was unfair and it was the exact same mind numbing experience it was the first two times. You can argue all day that repetition/boredom peppered with moments of action and ultimately pointless violence is what living in an African warzone is like but that doesn't make it fun.

>>6211 That is actually quite surprising. I guess they will twist what he said so that the game is just about killing this Perseus person, and there won't be a single word about the actual methods of demoralization. Imagine if I was wrong, and you had to slaughter niggerloving hippies, black panther niggers and glow-in-the-dark niggers.

https://youtu.be/GL-sKU3wrgY ....

>>6185 I've been trying so hard to hope for that game, i want nice things, why can't i have nice things? >>6211 That was fucking bizarre, i really don't know what to make of it.

>>6202 >and sell more jpegs roadmaps. You got that right.

>>6217 >Used to sell a complete pack of JPEG ships for 26,000 USD last I checked >They are now selling individual kitchen utensil JPEGs

I love Fireflies in CoH so goddamned much Nothing gives me more pleasure than Axis tanks just waltzing in pretending like they're untouchable shit and then getting raped by 6 or so shots from these cuties.

>>6219 piat+bren kangaroo>firefly

>>6219 >German tanks used to waltz ahead and get sniped by fireflies, LMAO! This is your brain on r/history.

>>6219 Combined with the command tank I think they're the single longest range tank in the game.

>>6211 >Activision has bent the knee to China to remove a clip of Tiananmen Square because they banned the initial trailer. Chinese citizens also criticized the trailer for "hinting at certain Ideologies" and using "politics to influence games".

>>6221 You do realize he's talking about what happens in the game and not IRL, right?

>>6219 >"One-OH-Five Battery here!" Goddamn I love this game just for the mortars and artillery units itself.

>>6220 A half decent PE will rape that in the blink of an eye Plus it's only cost effective if you go Commandos which can be a death sentence depending on the map.

>>6220 The kangaroo carrier got nerfed a while ago.

What electronic jew should I play? I like RTS and Military autism

>>6228 Be more specific.

>>6231 >Next up ms will buy GSC and the S.T.A.L.K.E.R IP

>>6232 I know, but at the same time I think stalker 2 will be shit because I don't trust GSC to make a competent game since I they said the map will have most of the old places. Already XBONE exclusive, and Microshaft could very easily fuck over GSC.

>>4428 Wait, I am confused, is it only going to be available on pc from xbox game pass on windows 10? I'm not a /tech/ guy and don't keep up with modern news. >>4429 Wish there was a stalker game like mount and blade warband, you start off as some random gopnik, get good as a crazy stalker, then later start your own faction with the power you have from the ground up. Early game would be a struggle with just a few people, and eventually one or two settlements you have to micro-manage all by yourself, mid game would be necessary trade/development time for fast growth with a moderate amount of combat with the other factions that gradually escalates. End game would be a hellish open and shadow war with the the outside world, as the secret hand that holds power over all the factions of the zone sends countless army, mercenary, and other proxy forces against you in the open, and countless attempts at riling revolution, sabotaging supply lines, and crippling internal and external trade in the shadows. The base game would just be focusing on the story and normal gameplay, which will be much more free in what you do to get where but linear in terms of story choices, with the mount and blade stuff being only even available for in newgame+ after fulfilling very strict conditions (eg, ludicrous amount of money you can only get from korean level grinding or being the best trader around, having the most powerful artifacts you can only get from a ton of other requirements, big faction political power from a high position that was hard won, or reputation by being the 1# stalker), and somewhat optional, think the settlement stuff in fallout 4 if it was actually good, optional, and only where it would actually make sense, the end of the game. The game would basically be stalker CoC with a good campaign for normal game, then stalker mount and blade advanced trade edition for early/mid-game ng+, then modern day independent ruler simulator for end-game, which acts more like the stalker version of that survival mission in starcraft 2 where you can't win and only survive long enough to do your objectives or until you literally can't go on anymore, except there won't be any objectives. I think it would be fun, but the endgame would have to be creatively brutal to be effective, anybody can lose from too many enemies but being screwed over by some sneaky s*** you could have saw coming on a massive scale is always fun.

>>6228 Most good military rts that came out in this decade is ww2 shit like Steel Division 2. To my knowledge the only actually "okay" modern day rts are Command: Modern Operations, and Wargame: Red Dragon. I'm not really the guy to ask though.

Do any stal/k/ers here know of a good modern day realistic game where you are an independent looking out for his own interests, preferably with multiple choices? Something like SoC, 7.62 hard life, or marauder? Not looking for post-apocalypse so its really tough to find anything, even old stuff.

>>6236 Freeman: Guerilla Warfare >>6233 I know Stalkan 2 will be shit Gamepad being a limitation already makes it shit, much less everything else like dumbing down due to console tech, UE4 limitations and dumbing dow for "a new audience". Just that Sergay is a narcisist and I'd rather see him bury his baby than seeing Microsoft pump out constant sequels and DLC/MTX Battle Royal.

>>6234 See >>6237

>>6235 Wargame is an RTT. It's ok but it's very heavy on the micromanagement and Red Dragon specifically has a stale meta + overpowered DLC nations.

>>6237 >Feminist: Anti-facist warfare Some of the mods are good, but a recent update nuked them, so unless I can find a torrent of an older version I'm not touching that with a 11 feet pole.

>>6237 >Finally, STALKER 2 is coming to both PC and Xbox Series X as a console launch exclusive. This marks the first time that STALKER has come to a console, which is no doubt exciting for Xbox fans. In addition, STALKER 2 will be available through Xbox Game Pass. Damn, looks like stalker 2 isn't coming out after all, its a shame all those wishes from anons of GSC making a sequel were in vain. Oh well, hopefully now that its official modders or game devs will start making more stalker/stalker inspired stuff, but it might take a while for people to realize its really never coming back.

I've spent all night looking, but either I suck at searching or there really isn't any interest in a realistic modern era war game that doesn't have some idiot grunt for the government as the player character. Jagged Alliance 2 is either not realistic enough in terms of motivation/tech or I just don't know second-gen boomer mentality enough, that new sniper ghost warrior contracts is actually a fun game but too much sci-fi, and other stuff like far cry 2 I already know about. At this point, I might as well just settle for the only thing I did find, the merc expansions for arma 1 and 2. I fucking wish somebody had come up with an xbox emulator so I could play mercenaries: playground of destruction, arcady as it is.

>>6242 >an xbox emulator that works I'm going to sleep.

>>6240 >Some of the mods are good, but a recent update nuked them, so unless I can find a torrent of an older version I'm not touching that with a 11 feet pole. Try moddb. It usually has old versions available for download unless the modders intentionally go back and kill them. >>6242 Marauder, if you can handle the slavic autism.

I miss it anons.

>>6245 Not the only one, they were still around before /v/ when tits up on every goddamn site on the webring. I should have looked for them when it was going on, by now they are probably off the clearnet for good.

>>6246 Last I saw them they were on zzzchan.

>>6246 They had a session in /geimu/ and zzchan some time ago.

>>6241 The only bad part about Stalker mods is the cobbled together modified xray engine that runs terribly. Stalker needs a better platform to develop and mod from.

What does /k/ think of Escape from Tarkov?

>>6250 The gun autism's pretty neat and the gunplay's ok, Nikita is a turbo jew though.

>>6250 Also what about GHPC?

Anyone as optimistic as me for 83?

>>6256 My biggest issues with it are performance and setup time. Hopefully the first is fixed with ARMA 4 due to their new engine they've been using with DayZ.

>>6257 If the VBS4 vids are anything to go by it should run a lot better.

>>6255 I'm hopeful but not optimistic. They're aiming for a lot here and because it's focussed on multiplayer a bad launch will kill it because a playerbase is needed to generate more sales.

>>6259 >a bad launch will kill it I don't think so, autism is fueling these games and more and more people are interested in them. Rising Storm 2, Insurgency Sandstorm and Squad launches were fucking terrible.

>>6260 Those also also had very successful games to ride the coattails of, 83 is a new franchise.

>>6261 *all thanks brain

>>6261 Nah, people know Antimatter now and most Rising Storm 2 fans will migrate there.

>>6268 It's 1983, strelok. Your options for Euro-militaries are beerniggers (west germans), baguetteniggers, and teaniggers. Every military was a nigger military in the '80s and frankly none of them are even remotely interesting.

>>6269 >>6268 I've heard that there is one united euro faction. But I maybe just misread. But Czechoslovakia could be intresting. Or just add Vz.58 to the ussr faction.

>>6270 >>6268 They're mostly focusing in UK and Ruskies though. I know USA is boring as fuck, but there's a shitton of them and they want the game to sell. I'd much rather the Bundeswehr and the NVA but they're starting a new game from scratch after Tripwire kiked them. Plus, Chinooks

>>6269 >Every military was a nigger military in the '80s and frankly none of them are even remotely interesting. The Falklands War is pretty interesting and that was 1982. Also not full of niggers well the Argies I suppose.

>>6211 >Ian Walker of Kotaku criticized the inclusion of the Bezmenov interview in the game trailer, and noted that Activision removed the context of the footage, where Bezmenov alleged that the Soviet Union was using non-military measures to engage in subversion in the United States through the promotion of social justice movements, in a 1984 interview with noted conspiracy theorist G. Edward Griffin of the John Birch Society. Walker accused Activision of unknowingly promoting the Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory, and noted Bezmenov's own hostility towards the feminist and anti-war movements, as well as his message and inclusion in the trailer being picked up by alt-right activists.

>>6185 I was excited for it until 2018, up until then I was hoping it'd be darker and grimier with body horror thrown in. Modern "cyberpunk" is so fucking gentrified and sterile clean. >>6268 I concur, it'd be fresh to play as any other NATO army than America.

>>6282 Because it's fancier, big words aren't intimidating, coding is hard, and you should just buy better hardware.

>>6282 Call me a fag but i like today's minimalist design much more.

>>6284 >call me a fag Ok fag We don't judge here, we only judge your kommando ability >>6282 display companies gotta make profit somehow fam. 4K used to be for prosumers/professionals.

>>6284 It's not more minimalist though. In fact, its the opposite of minimalist because you have to jump through more hoops and allow no less than 6 different scripts from 7 different domains just to see what you want. Not to mention the design is ugly and cluttered to the point of impracticality. >>6285 People watch videos on their computers more than they do their televisions these days.

>>6284 It's only visually minimalist and that's when you put on an ad blocker since every websites is filled with advertisements that make it slower than it already is. >>6286 Half of these websites are tailored to smartphones too.

"Gameplay" teaser for Stalker 2

Has /k/ played CDDA Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead? If so what did you think of it and do you know of any other games similar to it?

>>6299 >xbone graphics is what they are shooting for Prepare to be dissapointed lads. That and the timewarping is a such a normie fad thing right now. GSC trying to appeal to the masses.

>>6300 As far as the guns are concerned: >handguns were selected seemingly at random, most of the modern polymer-framed semi-autos you'd expect to see are notably absent but you'll find plenty of SIG Pros and .40S&W Browning Hi-Powers >original dev was a massive H&K fanboy, and the new devs never got around to nerfing most of the H&K products >there's maybe five people alive who understand how reliability works in this game, as far as I'm aware none of them are active devs >all guns have a hidden "handling" stat that defines how fast you recover from recoil, except it's completely undocumented and every gun uses the default value; when handling was first implemented, the devs just removed all the legacy recoil modifiers and left it at that >most of the legacy guns have been through several "balance passes", which apparently consisted of either capping any damage/range modifiers at +/-1 or outright removing them (but the USP keeps its enormous accuracy bonus because reasons) >gun stats in general tend to be either totally arbitrary or based on fuddlore and ancient /k/ memes >more than a few guns and ammo types are blatantly just copy-pasted from some other caliber >the guy who implemented handloading and black-powder ammo literally just applied the same two templates with the same stat modifiers to every caliber, and this will probably never be fixed >gun weights are almost never accurate, and some of the newer guns completely ignore the rules for estimating volume (leading to silliness like the MP7 being the second largest gun in the game for a while) >gunmod slots mechanic is and always will be half-implemented, most guns that don't use the "hunting rifle" or "pump-action shotgun" templates can use any mod >aside from having less gunmod slots, there's no distinction between semi-auto and bolt-action rifles >most full-auto guns can only be fired in one-second bursts, because the lead dev is a noguns retard who refuses to believe that anything shorter than that is physically possible >there are 30+ calibers implemented, but you never use most of them because you're drowning in 9mm, 5.56mm and 7.62x51mm from turrets and military vehicles I'm told that this got even worse in the latest update, turrets now drop a lifetime supply of 5.56 >the homemade Luty guns and break-action rifles were nerfed to hell because rifling barrels and making magazines for rimmed cartridges are arcane arts beyond mortal comprehension, but at the same time you're able to make pneumatic sniper rifles and semi-auto shotguns because Metro reference lol >at least two devs inserted their own personal OCs as major arms manufacturers, naturally everything these OCs make is among the best guns in the game (there was a "no OC guns" mod, but it was purged because it caused too much dev butthurt) A while back I tried making a mod that tries to fix most of the above issues. It weighed in at around half a megabyte of pure json autism, touched probably a thousand items... and turned out to be mostly nonfunctional, because Cataclysm's mod loader is a broken piece of shit. Then, immediately after everything got wiped out by a hard drive failure, I discovered a completely undocumented feature that does exactly what I need. Maybe one of these days I'll rewrite the whole thing and get it working.

>>6300 >If so what did you think of it Every update artificially extends the hobo phase and turns it into less of a survival game and more of a furry minecraft game.

>>6300 CDDA is great but Kevin Granade, Korgent, and Zhilkinserg are cunt bitch beta nerds who get off on abusing contributors and have wiped out large PRs by acting like females with sandy vaginas on a period. The stuff mlangsdorf has been adding is gold though

>>6304 Yeah I am aware. I actually heard kevin wants to remove some of the supernatural enemy like the migos and the other cthulhu inspired enemies. Appearently, they're doing it on the grounds of it "not being realistic". I don't really agree with this change as I never really saw the enemies in the game to be realistic, and that's kind of the point. The blob, the thing that is responsible for causing the zombie enemies is actually a largely understood enemy and can even be cured with modern day medical knowledge. I actually respect this aspect of the blob because I think having a virus be incurable or not understood is kind of cliche. Image unrelated.

>>6307 >cdda devs being retarded Thats basically anything opensource. At the same time, I thought the entire premise was sci-fi near future and not muh ARMA-3 realistic simulator? In other game news, Stalker Anomaly new release has been out for a while now. Meanwhile, xrMPE is working on the mutiplayer free roam stalker and a rework on artifacts to affect mutants. It reminds me a of a battle royal, RIP

>5 file limit :*( I SAID COME IN, DON'T STAND THERE! Yo looks like some GSC old stalker 2 stuff got "leaked" in addition to what was revealed last time?

The device supposedly can help destroy the Zone or take control of it. >A similar synopsis is described in the documents leaked by the “Herald of the Same Stalker”, but the main character in it is the Shooter himself, who was expelled from the Research Institute of ChAZ before the start of the game. >The campaign was designed for 10 hours, and completing all side missions would take about 30 hours. >The developers were going to develop most of the ideas of the original STALKER, implement a seamless “living” world, as well as give the player the opportunity to assemble their own group and pump the base. >Many of the side missions would be non-linear, and the main campaign is referred to as “multidimensional”. >The game was supposed to have both mutants already familiar from the previous parts of the series, such as controllers and bloodsuckers, as well as new ones. >A multiplayer mode for 32 people was also planned. It is a shame we will get this shitty FMV stalker2 instead.

Are you unable to capture enemy factions' bases in Clear Sky or do they eventually stop respawning so I don't have to do this save the settlement bullshit over and over? Do I have to do story missions to advance the faction wars?

>>6313 They don't ever stop respawning iirc. Just not always from the base. Garbage is the most obvious example of this shitshow.

>>6314 The RNG took mercy on me and I managed to take the base by killing two bandits as a bunch of stalkers showed up to help me but before that happened the entrance to Garbage was "taken" by mutants so I dealt with that afterwards and for all my trouble I was gifted a few grenades and medkits when the wiki says I should've received a SEVA suit, Bubble, and Veles. If it's not because I'm playing on master difficulty I think the game didn't account for this and my previous reward was wiped. >this shitshow This whole game is a fucking shitshow.

>>6315 >game is a shitshow Not gonna lie, you're better off playing Anomaly's warfare (even though its basically CS warfare + new engine and a few fixes). Much more cohesive than garbage in CS. The anomaly AI overhaul mod is real nice, but there's bigger issues with the XRAY engine that were never properly coded -since the new stalker 2 info dump they got some even better shit released jewgle drive link is from leaker, not me sorry... https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DYwpDCztogY3OgRZKacWt_88Bhd1kWnE/view (Said link is giving me a 403). ...

What kind of weapon variety could a shooter set in 1880 have, ideally while limiting the number of cartridges in use (though there's only around two dozen different ones in existence at the time excluding pinfire)? All I can think of without heavy redundancy is this Cheap >1853 Enfield or 1863 Springfield (slow to reload, powerful, extremely cheap) >1858 Remington (slow to reload, extremely cheap) >pocket revolver (weak, cheap, typical reload speed of cartridge revolver, low capacity, relatively cheap) Lower price >double action revolver in some relatively weak cartridge (very fast, lower accuracy and damage) >Single Action Army in .44-40 (slower, more accurate, higher damage) >1858 Remington cartridge conversion in .44-40 (one less shot than double action revolver, but quicker to reload) >double barrel shotgun in 12 gauge Moderate price >Trapdoor Springfield/Remington Rolling Block in .45-70 (powerful, capacity of one) >1873 Winchester in .44-40 (very fast, moderate power) Very expensive >early scoped rifle in 45-70 (single shot rifle but scoped and more expensive) >1876 Winchester (almost as powerful as single shot rifle, but much faster) Non-portable/part of map design >artillery >gatling gun That's 7 cartridges across 11 guns. >ball, powder and lead >44-40 >45-75 (or whatever 1876 caliber is picked) >45-70 (could use any full power military cartridge, but assuming a US setting leaves just 45-70 and various Sharps cartridges) >pocket revolver's caliber >double action's caliber >12 gauge

>>6317 You could feature some cap and ball or flintlock equipment under "cheap" tier with the caveat that reloading is either too slow to be practical or have the weapons treated as disposable. This makes more sense if you intend on allowing melee combat along with firearm use. Melee or close-in equipment >smallsword, ornamental or with targe >heavy cavalry saber >splitting axe >brown bess musket with plug bayonet >early shitty combination saber/revolver with similar stats to the pocket revolver (S&W model 1 revolver?) but overpriced >apache holdout revolver (dismal accuracy, french) >canne d'arms walking stick Archaic but still somewhat useful >Volcanic pistol (really high capacity but unreliable if jamming is a mechanic and/or low damage) >pair or brace of grandpappy's dueling pistols >naval boarding gun (seven shots- more than enough to kill anything that moves. also works as club) Other >remington 1861 zig-zag derringer (good capacity, low damage, double action, reloads very quickly)

>>6318 First two guns listed are cap and ball. Volcanic isn't just archaic, but nobody is making ammo for it anymore by 1880. Melee weapons is a good idea though. Maybe make accessible inventory space a matter of three slots consisting of two hips and a sling (with pack stuff harder to grab). Cheap >knife (extremely cheap, very fast, low damage for melee, and very low range) >hatchet (cheap, slower than knife and slower to ready, but better reach) >Remington-Elliot Derringer .32 rimfire (faster firing, faster reloading, but lower capacity than pocket revolver) >cap and ball pistol (cheapest firearm, and best damage of any hip slot gun, plus function as club, but only one shot and slow reload) Lower Price >Rolling Block shortsword bayonet (OK range, and fairly fast, can mount it on rifle for long range but slower) >heavy cavalry saber (slower and higher damage than bayonet, works well on horse) >Bowie knife (better knife except being slightly slower and more expensive) Moderate >1878 Colt .44-40 (speed of double action, power of single action, inferior to 1876 except using a hip slot and fire speed) That would bring it up to 14 guns and 7 ammo types (only two of which are exclusive), plus 5/6 melee weapons, while locking the pocket revolver into .32 rimfire.

>>6317 Isn't this lineup basically Fistful of Frags or Quake 3 Smokin' Guns?

>>6320 >western guns are in western games Who knew?

i was gonna ask this in the navy thread but dolphin boy here decided to make a bideo thread. you guys still play navyfield? I want a nostalgia trip but idk if its worth it. Is there any way to play it without steam?

>>6320 that reminds me to try and get smokin guns working

>>6319 I think having some kind of "pocket" slot for small holdout weapons fixes the issue of nobody wanting to take them outside of price. You'd only get one slot for it, but would give you an ace in the hole if you're running dry.

The game is to be subtitled Heart of Chernobyl and most-likely a Steam exclusive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNLaKOlXVvw

>>6327 I really hate this modern trend of packing useless merchandise along with the game. You are paying more so that you can advertise the product. But then again, normalfags are normalfags, they have to express somehow that they are part of a group by wearing corporate branding.

>>6326 >>6327 I'm a little surprised they'd do this piece meal DLC model, selling quests and fucking dialogue as paid bonus content. Looking back at GSC though you could see they weren't anything that special and the reason their games had personality was because they were poor and learning along the way how to makes games, or how to conform. Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat never had the unintended atmosphere and aura that SoC had and felt they "gamier" than it too, SoC was good on accident. >>6328 You can buy faction patches, a multitool and military surplus backpack for cheaper and of better quality than what GSC will deliver.

STALKER 2 REVEAL TRAILER IS OUT, PRESS F FOR X-RAY AND GAMEPLAY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjDMwsbaSd8 Graphics look meh (Not bad for AA, but definitely not AAA tier), also, look at the amount of still shot and dialogue. I suspect that its gonna skyrim tier "sit here and get force fed plot" Note the attachment scope system, my bet is focus is more on gunplay, notice how we only see a few anomalies (mainly DURGA radar). Also, monolith faction leader that is speaking on rooftop? Or perhaps death truck survivor, note he says "she (the zone) gave me life". >>6329 >>6327 >DLC o be fair, the only two I would be okay with are the art packs and music packs, but only if they were non-digital.

>saged for double post but for some reason it posted >>6330 >>6332 The sad part is my computer according to that, can barely run S2. GSC better give me an AR zone or they can fuck off with the graphics >still shot I meant where the view is sitting still. Also note no gameplay sprint in the game? I looked over trailer and I see the following anomalies >vortex >Durga radar (Some sort of eletrical one) >Pulse or a gas anomaly (I think it is latter) >fruitpunch in X-18 ? Either that or it is a broken flickering tube light for the mutant testing Also jesus christ that AI in the gunfight is stupid, fucking point blank misses, also note the lack of need to aim.

>>6330 >RX 580 8GB >minimum This seems untrustworthy.

>>6330 >150GB because fuck compressing textures and audio and shit

>>6332 >>minimum RX 580 Why focus on this? This is completely reasonable. It's a surprise that a 6 year old card will even last so long. I have no doubt in my mind that the slavs will make graphics-shittifiers to make it run on an Atom too. If RTX 3060 cards were available, that would be an obvious $300 upgrade path that will probably run most games at high settings for the next 5 years. >>6333 >Also jesus christ that AI in the gunfight is stupid, fucking point blank misses, also note the lack of need to aim. You're retarded. This isn't real gameplay, it's a glorified cinematic. They turn off health and script these setpieces for the sake of trailers. >>6335 Gamers whine too much. If they cut baked lightmaps for RT then most people couldn't run it, and you can't compress textures and keep modern lighting (in which case people complain about graphics.) Audio is a pittance in size. I wish these retarded myths stopped. And who cares? A terabyte of SSD storage is going to be $70 by the time this game comes out.

>>6336 Also, on the minimum spec, with DLSS or AMD FSR I think they might actually be able to reduce the requirements. I presume they have yet to do any real optimisation or have yet to implement either of those, but since this is an Xbox game they will probably add AMD FSR.

>>6336 It's in anon's nature to always find something to complain about, always find a reason to shit on something when discussing this /k/ i've found people that seem to think the glownigger is still BO not to imply that everything is perfect, far from it, but still.

>>6336 >6 years for a gpu My Athlon 64 and FireGL T2-128 are still functioning. As a matter of fact, I can play stalker anomaly on dx8 on it. Granted, I get like 33 FPS on minmum settings.

>>6332 I have a 580 but it's the 4GB variant. My Ryzen 7 should be good enough but even then I'm using linux and I'm sure it will be impossible to run through wine. Might have to dualboot 10 but the thought of doing that makes me sick, it's going to take more than one game to make me put that shit on my main PC ever again. >>6339 >2003 card I still have my 9600 Pro, it handles old vidya perfectly. Some things never die

>>6336 >defending a 150GB install It's ridiculous and impractical to dedicate that much space to a single consumer program/executable/file and I'd rather the game look uglier or have an optional HD install than be forcefed this bloat on my crummy bandwidth. The CPU and GPU requirements seem extreme to me too and probably devs not giving a fuck about poors or those who don't want to drop hundreds or a thousand dollars to upgrade their rig, or getting paid by the hardware kikes to artificially evolve people to new cards.

>>6341 My understanding is that 4K textures is part of the issue, the other part of the issues is that they've basically given up on compressing shit and went with the whole, "It's not our fucking issue". >>6340 >9600 pro Now I hear GPUs die frequently every 3-5 years? I know AMD's Vega is a great meme and Nividia got class auctioned over a 980 or something stupid.

>>6330 >AMD Ryzen 5 1600X / Intel Core i5-7600K >AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB BLYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD

>>6342 How recent is now? I've had my GeForce X00 card for over half a decade now and it's never given me a single issue.

I like a good battlestation same as the next man. I once built a fair-to-middling one, and still have most of the parts. But today, I just can't see myself becoming too invested in NSA-OS 10. The idea that it's literally sending every keystroke, etc., directly to glowniggers today is something I just can't stomach. Actually, today I'm more interested in using GPUs to crunch numbers for AI, so I'm not losing too much sleep over walking away from the Micro$hat botnet. Just about 4 years now.

>>6339 I don't mean 6 years for it to break, I mean 6 years is an eternity for it to remain an up to date part capable of running recent games. A Voodoo card from late 1998 couldn't run anything by mid 2002, and that was seen as perfectly reasonable then. Why isn't it reasonable now, that a 2016 card will "only" be able to run games at minimum settings by late 2022? Get with the times you fucking dinosaurs, tech won't stop moving forward just because you don't like it.

>>6341 >>6342 You could've made the same arguments 20 years ago about games a 10th the size. Games need more data nowadays, which is barely an issue since hardware can process and store more data too

>>6347 More data does not mean better.

>>6347 >more data The growth of data used is not really proportionate (at least in my opinon) to the quality of the product, and in the end that is all that matters to me. Then again, I haven't brought a game since 2016 and that was an indie game. I haven't brought AAA since CNC Generals came out. >>6346 >6 years to remain up to date Fair enough. I've heard my friends **That's a lie nobody on muh 'tisim boards has friends irl** keep having issues with their Nividia 1000+ cards as well as 580 and later cards. I'm not sure if it's because every dumbfuck can build their own pc now or if GPU reliablity just went in the shitter. Case in point, I brought a used case (I'm not paying 120 USD for a case) off a friend who lost 5 GPUs in 3 years, and I tested it and immediately found out it had a short in the casing.

>>6349 Crypto-mining might be distorting the market.

>>6348 >More data does not mean better. No one implied that, that's an entirely different argument. >>6349 >The growth of data used is not really proportionate (at least in my opinon) to the quality of the product, and in the end that is all that matters to me. No one implied that, that's an entirely different argument.

>>6346 >>6347 >that was seen as perfectly reasonable then. Why isn't it reasonable now In the past games visually improved. These days games look like shit, and the lack of visual design means that more intensive graphics don't improve how the game actually looks. Higher performance needing better hardware is reasonable. But if the performance doesn't improve then needing better hardware is unreasonable.

>>6351 "Games need more data" is a pointless statement, it's like restating the system requirement. Why would you do that? The issue that the replies are pointing out is that they require more data for no essential reason, since there is no comparable experiential improvement from the increased data usage that one would expect. Visual improvements lie more on the processing side of things these days, not in raw texture, model, and sound processing. They're unable to maximize the fidelity of what they already have access to but yet they shove in more.

I wish the engine of Metal Gear Solid V had caught on. It uses very simple models and yet it looks very nice due to lightning. It means by tuning down or even switching off all the effects lets the game run on older machines without immediately giving you eye cancer. >>6330 >Windows 10 I have a feeling that the game is important enough for Valve to make it work with Proton, and then it will work on Linux. Not that it's an excuse for anything.

>>6352 I agree, but that's a different argument, the problem then is not their size, but if their size is worth it probably not. >>6353 They seem to be complaining about the size itself and nothing else the replies i replied to you're changing the subject, or not understanding what my original point was. >>6354 >MGSV So many things i wished from that title, wew.

>>6355 >but that's a different argument It isn't a different argument. The question of whether the size is reasonable is inextricably tied to how that size is being used.

>>6355 I was one of the replies and >>6356 was what I meant. New releases carry a lot of raw data but not useful information (content). When you use storage space, the data is implicitly expected to be useful with one of the maxims of computing being garbage in, garbage out: if you feed useless data into a machine, you receive useless output. If you fill up a harddrive with 1TB of soyjaks, that isn't of value to anyone, thus you wouldn't do that, unless you had sufficient cause anti-piracy. Are you autistic?

>>6347 >Games need more data nowadays Why? What is your definition of "data"? >>6354 I don't think Proton is developed to have games selectively run for it, it's a catch-all emulator and some games get downgraded with new updates for it. >>6355 Why else would we complain about the size? Also the filesize of games has increased exponentially over the past few years, if the game was 30GB or maybe even 40 that'd be understandable but technology hasn't advanced that much to warrant that bulk. I guess that 500GB was what 2TB is today and most mid-high and high-end games ranged from 5GB-15GB so accounting for your Wangblows install that's 470GB meaning each game would take up 1.064%-3.191% of your hard drive per game. For games that are now 75GB-200GB for a 2TB hard drive (OS install negligible) that's 3.75%-10% of your hard drive per game.

>>6358 >HDD space There's also some of us who rock old hard drives with new gear. My oldest disk is a 100GB spin disk, granted it's for swap partion wheras my 500 GB HDD is my main drive I don't believe in SSD and NVME because I don't believe in those being able to be securely erased so far, mainly because of SSD and NVME trim commands being accessble with special firmware only >complaining about size Part of the issue is they don't bother with compression, another fucking issue is DRM (esp denuvo, which basically runs a VM that requires online to retrieve crypto keys from servers that game dev runs, and decrypts and reencrypts every 20 mins, hence why BL3 was laggy as fuck). The anomaly dev team's 4k textures are a total of 2.75GB and the full game is 8.75GB (so around 11GB max, assuming no overwrites) with FOUR fucking render engines (DX 8,9,10,11). Meanwhile, Bad Company was released in 2008 as well and required around 10GB. GSC is not AAA dev, and they never fucking WILL be. EA's Battlefailed 2042 the new one is 50 GB minimum before DLC. There is NO WAY GSC is going to be making more "content" (read: maps, skins, textures) than EA, text and dialouge, should not take up 100 more GB. There is no way that STALKER 2 should use 16GB RAM, that's the same as EA's BF2042. GSC had better put in self learning AI capable of not only pathing and finding artifacts in anomalies, but better be damn capable of reaching the end of the story itself like the original before release. >tl;dr GSC is a wannabe AAA and this release will be worse than clear sky

>>6356 >It isn't a different argument. It's not something either of them brought up, so it is a different argument. >>6357 > If you fill up a harddrive with 1TB of soyjaks If that's what you wanted then that's useful to you, the discussion of whether or not is worth it to have 1TB of soyjacks is different than the discussion regarding if those soyjacks need to be 1TB, my point is that it makes sense they're that heavy because they're many or something, it doesn't really matter if you reply telling me that it is not worth it to have 1TB of soyjacks in the first place then that's a different matter. >Are you autistic? I'm the one that should ask that question >>6358 >Why? What is your definition of "data"? The binary data that compromises the game, more is needed in general to account for all the extra stuff that games have nowadays, whether or not that stuff is worth it is a different matter, see the above reply. >Why else would we complain about the size? That's what i'm curious about >but technology hasn't advanced that much to warrant that bulk Probably, but i'm not entirely sure, your head math makes sense, but it needs real data not just your guesses, Imagine we're talking video, the jump in size from 720p to 1080p to 4k to 8k is pretty significant, if you're used to 720 file sizes you'd be pretty annoyed at having to store videos with higher resolutions, while understandable there's no doubt the 4k video will need more data and therefore a bigger file size than the 720 video, whether or not the jump from 720 to 4k is worth the extra size to you is a different matter to whether or not that 4k file should be that heavy. Compression and such helps no doubt, but it can only get you so far and considering you can easily get more storage then the raw size is not that big an issue, unless of course you just want to complain about something to virtue signal how much of a normalfag you are not. On the matter of "is that size worth it?" i'm very much in agreement with you, it often isn't at all.

>>6360 >It's not something either of them brought up, so it is a different argument >I'm the one that should ask that question It's called an implication. Do you store all your reaction images in .bmp, too?

>>6360 Actually, from your grammar it also sounds like you aren't a native English speaker, so it won't make sense to argue across a language barrier.

>>6361 >It's called an implication. I think changing the goal post is more accurate. >>6362 I'll take that as admitting you were wrong.

>>6363 It's not changing goal posts if that's what we originally meant, since you began arguing past that and attacking a strawman (that we don't like more data usage because we are contrarian); but because you lacked the familiarity to understand the intended meaning, even though we all actually agree that the increased file size is usually not worth it appeared to be a difference of opinion when in reality we are just arguing semantics.

>>6364 >that's what we originally meant Looking back, sort of, i still see more complain about just the size as if that by itself was the issue than if it is or not worth it. >attacking a strawman A extremely common attitude in imageboards, it isn't a strawman at all. >when in reality we are just arguing semantics. Fair enough, all i'm saying is that if those 150Gbs are worth it then there's nothing to complain about.

>>6365 >if those 150Gbs are worth it then there's nothing to complain about. But that's an irrelevant argument because this is a video game in the 2020s; it can be taken as a given that it won't be worth it.

>>6365 tbh I attacked your point as a strawman of bigger game = better first which was not what you meant

>>6366 Probably. >>6367 There comes a point where i don't really know what i was arguing for and against in the first place, makes it easy to seem dishonest when one didn't really want to be, i guess it happens to everyone.

>>6367 >Continue Yes, please live doggo.

>>6365 What the fuck can you stick inside a game, that makes it 150 gigs large, AND adds any sort of functionality? The size bloating of the game industry is just a plain strategy at this point, made to sell people more hard drives/wear down existing hard drives by repeated installation/deinstallation cycles.

>>6370 You could probably fill it with something useful, but not with the current crop of degenerates running the show.

>>6370 Either cutscenes or uncompressed assets would be my guess. Either way it's way too fucking big. I have a hard time justifying downloading a game over a gig, ten tops. Hard drives haven't even improved significantly so that's still 10-20% of the average consumer's hard drive, and fuck anyone who planned to run it off an SSD apparently.

>>6370 A truly dynamic world and environment (to the degree of the Butterfly Effect), good procedural generation, and permanent interactive physics.

>>6373 At that point grad students would be modding it to do fluid dynamic simulations and non-euclidian centers of mass in collisions without their department having to shell out $70k though, anon. University book/software rackets can't be having that.

>>6370 It's just uncompressed audio and textures. As to how the fuck those shit for brain idiots manage to do that I have no idea. There's probably going to just be 5 different kinds of enemies and 5 different skins for humans. They're absolutely artificially bloating the game size in order to deter piracy, instead of trying to make a good game.

>>6142 Do you (or anyone here) know how to install the Winter War mod on EGS version of RS2? I got it for free from there but my god does EGS make modding a headache.

>>6372 >Hard drives haven't even improved significantly i want to live in 2013 too nigger, 1tb of ssd storage and 4tb of hard drive storage are both $80. >>6375 >audio myth >textures can't compress, run into CPU bottlenecks + normalmap and lighting mapping textures and such are not something you want to compress because they will look like shit. really just as simple as games having far more art assets at far higher definition than back in the day. it's agreeable that ultra-high res textures should be a download option instead of prepackaged for all installs (which can already cut down file size up to 80gb in a call of duty game), but otherwise little else can be done. if you want large maps with a variety of environments and have it look good it's what you have to live with. if you don't bitch about size, you bitch about graphics, and gamers are never happy. >deter piracy considering you're probably a nigger who doesn't even buy good games to begin with knowing the types of people who browse imageboards, i don't see an issue, and that's retarded since everyone knows pirate release download sizes are smaller. most games are for consolefags too, where there's zero piracy and size is an even bigger issue.

>>6377 >myth Proof? I don't have any AAA games installed that are less than a decade old, so I can't check, but I'd like to see the numbers for filesizes of an example game.

>>6377 >CPU bottlenecks Take a look at what I said earlier about denuvo(I'm not the person you replied to). We wouldn't have this issue if 80% of the CPU was trying decrypt/encrypt shit in a VM constantly >audio being a myth .>>6378 I'm inclined to believe this since audio devices are generally shit on board and I feel like most western devs don't give a shit about audio In other news, the hackers who rammed EA up the ass apparently said it was braindead easy. Knowing EA, probably. https://www.vice.com/en/article/7kvkqb/how-ea-games-was-hacked-slack https://archive.is/Rx82L >vice article as a source https://www.slashgear.com/the-ea-hack-was-worryingly-simple-11677618/ https://archive.ph/r7mNI I cannot find the motherboard article IT TOOK HACKERS A TOTAL OF 10$ AND SOME TIME TO "HACK" EA LOL >However the exact mechanism for just how the hackers managed to access the data has been revealed, and it’s ominously simple. In an interview with Motherboard, a representative says that the whole thing hinged on acquiring a stolen cookie that was being sold online. That cost all of $10. >In this case, with the EA cookie, the hackers were able to access the game company’s Slack. That’s the internal messaging platform EA uses for its various teams to collaborate and, vitally, to communicate with divisions like IT Support. >“Once inside the chat we messaged a IT Support members we explain to them we lost our phone at a party last night,” the hackers’ representative explains. That led to the support team issuing two authentication tokens with which access to the EA corporate network was possible. Beyond that, it was a matter of accessing the various source code servers and making copies of what they found. >EA confirmed the mechanism by which the hack had run, and has said it is working with law enforcement in the aftermath of the exploit

>>6379 Wow. That's bad. Not only did they get phised, they either didn't have privilege levels (!!!!!!!!) or had trivial to escalate.

>>6378 Can't. Everything is packaged these days into proprietary container formats and so it's near impossible to break down, but unless we're talking about a huge RPG with hours of voiced dialogue most games have audio as an insignificant minority of the final size. At the absolute worst (multiple languages and uncompressed audio), half the size. Music and speech is usually compressed, or compression has insignificant gains so it's left alone completely and users have slightly less CPU usage and higher quality. The audio myth has largely come from Titanfall 1, which had uncompressed audio to get the game to run on 7th gen console hardware at the cost of file size so niggers on imageboards have applied it to everything since then. It's mostly textures. This isn't a guarantee and I can only judge from filenames, but in MGS5 the texture .dat files are 10gb total. Everything else is another 10gb. In the TItanfall 2 directory the sound folder (appears to contain speech, so the majority of the audio) is 4gb. Entire game is 68gb. In Rainbow Six Siege all container files with "sound" in them add up to 6 out of 48gb. >>6379 >Take a look at what I said earlier about denuvo(I'm not the person you replied to). We wouldn't have this issue if 80% of the CPU was trying decrypt/encrypt shit in a VM constantly Denuvo's CPU performance hits are largely minor, the worst example is what Ubisoft does where they containerize it into a VM, but otherwise not much worse than a few percent of additional CPU usage. I think that Denuvo largely offshores the impact to secondary cores as games are still largely single core processes. Most of the FPS related hits of Denuvo come from asset encryption, which is an asset loading affair, which bottlenecks the storage device. Hence, worse 0.1% FPS drops (jitters) and loading times. But relatively little else.

>>6381 Has Ubisoft ever done the technical aspects of anything correctly?

>>6382 Chaos Theory, Far Cry 5, Siege, and The Division off the top of my head. Those run and look good. Ubisoft is too huge to put it all under one umbrella.

>>6383 >Siege Don't know about the others, but this one they lied about the graphical fidelity and downgraded it for release. Makes sense since it is a multiplayer game and those things need to run better not look better.

>>6384 Yeah, I meant it as relative to other competitive shooters. It looks better than any other competitive FPS that I can think of for the performance you can get where even lower mid range PCs can get 150-200fps and still have it look good, lighting is pretty decent but character models mostly let it down. Maybe the new Call of Duty games beat it in performance/graphics, but I've only played Warzone which has downgraded graphics and I didn't hit 100 fps too well in that.

>>6383 Guess it's just a staple of AssCreed then.

Alright which one of you was this? Challenger 2 specs leaked online by disgruntled War Thunder player https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/jul/18/classified-details-of-armys-challenger-tank-leaked-via-video-game

Be warned that being in a country with an extradition treaty with the UK might fuck you over (so most NATO countries). Original leak poster claimed to be an instructor/operator of the unit that operates the Chally and was dumb enough to post his qualifications. Claimed page is from an AESP (user/operator manual). According to gayjin, this smoothbrain literally crossed out the classified portion and just stamped a "unclassified" stamp on it that the bong MOD does not even use, they use the term unrestricted instead. >Key takeaways Gayjin deliberately models gun mantlets as a weakpoint. Chally 2 gunmantlet is at least 400mm of LOS thickness, probably thicker IRL due to armor. Snail models it to be around 200mm total thickness. >>6388 It happened a few years back when the Krauts arrested a twitch stream who used to be a Eurotiger operator who openly admitted on stream to working with gayjin and giving them classified info.

Does this military system seem reasonable for a minor power of ~1960s tech level on an alternate Earth where real (if not necessarily paired together as they they are in reality) military equipment exists but no actual nations/historical events do? Does it seem too similar to any real country, or does it combine enough things to avoid looking like anything specific? >core doctrine is conscript riflemen supported by professionals with machine guns, artillery, and vehicles >universal conscription for all able bodied citizens >conscripts are trained during compulsory education (middle/high school), followed by refresher courses every year (only married women with children are exempt) until 45 >at 16 all conscripts given bolt action rifle (.308 Kar 98K) and ammo tin that is to remain sealed, but are encouraged to purchase ammo and target shoot with it >conscripts can purchase an "improved rifle" (FAL), and/or upgrades (scope) from an approved rifle if they wish to use it during service (off-list rifles can be purchased but aren't usable in service) <previous leadership bought loads of surplus arms cheap after a major war (where this country was neutral) a generation ago and the current is not willing to blow the budget to upgrade and rifles are given proper ownership after retirement because there's so many of them >professionals trained as machinegunners/marksmen/vehicle crew/logistics crew etc. >college and trade schools with militarily applicable fields have officer courses that, while theoretically optional, are universally taken by men because nobody wants to be an enlisted conscript when war were declared >pistols (some .380) considered domain of NCOs and officers and they are encouraged to be always prepared (open carry in civilian life)

>>6397 It's Switzerland combined with the Montenegrin approach to arming the population. If you put it in notEurope then people will think of Switzerland. If you give it an Eastern flavour then people will think of durkas. If you put it in notNorth America then people will think of America. What I want to say that people will associate with something no matter what, so you really shouldn't worry about that.

>>6397 Sounds like a mix of the Swiss approach to keeping its populace armed, mixed with Soviet era conscription doctrin, with an American approach to gun control (the constitutional one, not the one tainted by gun laws). If you write a book, publish a copy here pl0x.

>>6397 Unless the whole professionals-as-machinegunners approach makes little to no sense unless talking about some special unit formed of only professionals. It takes as long to train a rifleman as it takes to train a machine-gunner, and with a conscript army you need officers more than anything else. Highly specialized systems are a different matter alltogether, due to simple cost calculations. You wouldn't want conscripts flying expensive airplanes,

>>6400 In the 1930s the Germans relied on machine gunners being the core of the infantry exactly because they had to rely on conscripts, and so the idea was to base the squad around a highly trained machine gunner supported by a bunch of conscripts with a lot less training.

>>6401 That sounds more like a stoploss measure to keep conscripts from dying. In theory you could train anyone to fill that role. Germany just had a lot of machine gunner veterans because of the Great War more than likely.

>>6402 It was indeed because they couldn't train their conscripts to the same level, but the reliance of machine guns had nothing to do with the number of veterans. There were some good two decades between 1918 and 1940, therefore anyone who gained enough experience in the first war to be considered a veteran would have been at least in his early 40s by the time the second one started. And they didn't plan on sending such old men into war.

>>6397 Sounds similar to this ERP I did on a certain website before I got banned by troons minus the bolt action rifles and confusing hierarchy. Took a level up and integrated the higher trained sections to also do police training and the entire society geared around the social unit being one with fighting unit. (your village/town is your unit and the mayor/sherriff is your commander) to give off that solidarity vibe, to give deeper connection to why one is fighting.

>>6405 No one is going to bully you for ERPing on legendofkrystal in a certain world-building/nation-building game thread back around the 4chan/8chan splinter can't remember if it was before or after.

What video games let you play as a cute little girl with guns?

What kind of weird combinations of arms adoptions a Strangereal type world (roughly Earth size/shape, roughly Earth's tech level for each year but with some functional super science secret projects, different geography/nations and no nuclear proliferation/MAD so full war is relatively common) could have when arms are distributed more for gameplay reasons (providing arms with a clear progression of usefulness and distinct appearance while keeping the same cartridges) than historical development tracks (or even having been produced in that caliber in large numbers)?

>>6414 There is a game currently being dev-fagged by a guy over on smug/vg/. It's a real time tactical game, where the player controls a group of more or less cute anime girls and some guys as well. They are trying to escape a war torn country after their plane crashed in hostile territory. It's relatively early in development, and some of the mechanics are a little retarded. But the overall concept is solid. It's called Unconventional Warfare. https://duque.itch.io/uw

>>6427 For some reason I'm disappointed there's not a third word that starts with "u" in the title.

>>6428 That's the sequel Unconventional Warfare: Ultimate

>>6431 Heh, 9mm could never do this :^)

>>6136 Hedon and The Citadel come to mind. If it doesn't have to be ANIMU animu, there's also Viscerafest (might be mispelling that last one.) If your not in the mood for a doom clone, and can handle older games, there's also Shogo: armoured division.

The new Far Cry is out, and I don't care about that, but it's set in a fictional country located somewhere in Central and South America. And that made me think: what would be an interesting and historical lineup of firearms for a milsim autismo game where you have to keep track not only the different ammo types, but even the magazines, links, and other feeding devices? Let's call the place Val Verde, because I'm not a creative man. The game is set around current year, there is a civil war with more than two sides, and the country likes to keep around old guns as long as they can. So here are my ideas for what they managed to pick up over more than a century: >late 1890s Val Verde manages to get independent. >7mm Mauser infantry rifles inherited from Spain, but there are only enough to supply some ˝elite˝ infantry formations called the republican guards >the average conscripts has to make do with a Remington Rolling Block and a sword bayonet, but at least his rifle is also chambered for 7mm Mauser >officers buy their own pistols, so you might find anything from this age >1920s-1930s Val Verde's armed forces modernize. >after ww1 they start buying up surplus M1903 and M1917 rifles in .30-06, so that now every peasant conscript gets more than 1 shot at a time >they also buy M1917 revolvers in relatively large quantities >the republican guard keeps 7mm Mauser out of spite tradition, and they also buy M1914 Hotchkiss machine guns in this caliber >later they also buy some M1926 Hotchkiss machine guns in the strip fed configuration >the army proper opts for commercially manufactured water-cooled Browning machine guns from Colt >but both of them buy a few batches of water-cooled .50 Browning machine guns, obviously also from Colt, in theory to use them as AA and AT weapons, but in practice it's more of a dick measuring contest >1940-1950s Politics happen, the republican guard disappears. >the army is outfitted with large amounts of 'merican ww2 surplus, Garands, M1917 machine guns, M1911 pistols, grease guns, M1 carbines, BARs, M2 machine guns, everything >all the weapons chambered for 7mm Mauser go to storage >bolt-action rifles and water-cooled machine guns are still around for training and for second line units >1960s-1970s Time for some 7.62 real fucking NATO. >Val Verde adopts the FAL >all the BARs are rechambered for 7.62 NATO, and modified to feed from FAL magazines by FN >with Israeli help they rechamber the M1917 and M1919 mgs to 7.62 NATO >but instead of the FN MAG they buy MG3s, because some higher up is a fan of the aesthetics >1980s-1990s Gommunism takes over and they are fucking Maoists. >the country get some friendly chicom help and they get the chink versions of the typical Warsaw pact weapons, but mostly the older stuff >after the fall of the USSR they also manage to snatch actual Warsaw Pact equipment from Eastern Europe, strangely enough some genius even decides to buy M1910 Maxims Does this sound like an interesting lineup so far?

>>6434 One thing I forgot: >M1903 and M1917 rifles were also rechambered for 7.62 NATO So most longarms would be 7.62 NATO, 7.62x39, or 7.62x54R, and for pistols and SMGs it's either .45 ACP or 7.62 Tokarev, but you'd have oddballs here and there showing up, mostly in the form of 7mm Mauser weapons.

>>6390 https://archive.is/OgyoT It happened again.

>>6436 Imagine being so butthurt after losing a video game argument so hard you report your opponent to the Directorate of Internal Security out of spite. The french focusing their rage on the wrong subjects time and time again.

>>6434 I'd say it would be best to sort out what calibers are included first and work out what the most interesting guns that can be included with the least number of calibers and work backwards. 7mm Mauser having been used is plausable, but odd enough you couldn't keep it fed for serious use even in ideal conditions (rental range in US not during ammo shortage) and I don't see it being used for anything more than WW1 style "get away from the supplies or I shoot you". 7.62 NATO is a solid option since its been in common use for over 75 years and had plenty of old stuff rechambered in it. Gives the ancient bolt actions (which don't have to have come from Isreal. Apparently some international arms dealers converted Kar98s en masse for central/south America), early semi-autos (Garand, FAL, G3), reasonably man portable MGs, modern semi-autos, modern sniper rifles/hunting rifles, and a few odd balls. One potentially unique cartridge for a south American setting that could easily be kept in good supply is .380 ACP. It's unusually popular in Central and South America, and there's a decent number of options for it, both old and new (the main weakness is the lack of SMGs, but those are the kind of thing you can make up wholesale or kitbash without straining plausability while giving some examples of domestic arms production). It also provides a good mechanical contrast with .45 ACP by being higher capacity but weaker.

>>6434 Now that I think about it: would Chinaman still support a South American commie regime so late into the Cold War? Maybe Best Korea would be a better fit, and it would also make the lineup that much more hilarious. >>6438 >7mm Mauser having been used is plausible, but odd enough you couldn't keep it fed for serious use even in ideal conditions Indeed, my idea is to have a few stashes of guns that the player can easily seize but then has a hard time keeping them in service, so they'd act as a ˝one time boost˝. But if we just drop the Hotchkiss MGs, then rechambering old Mausers for 7.62mm NATO would make them yet one more bolt action that adds variety without affecting the gameplay much. And that can work too. And if we are eliminating 7mm Mauser, then this gave me an idea: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=XMcJc4RelDo Let's say that Val Verde turned all their old muskets into rolling blocks with this method, but also purchased newly made ones. Then somewhere in the 1960s or so they took the rolling blocks made from muskets, and turned them into 12 gauge shotguns, and this is the official shotgun of the police and the forest service. And properly made ones were rebarreled alongside the bolt-action rifles, in part to be used as cadet rifles, but the foresters also got quite a few of them. With this we can now add a truly anachronistic weapon to the lineup. >.380 ACP Dimensionally it's not even that far away from 9mm Parabellum, so you could have homemade SMGs chambered for it that are delivered from 9mm Para designs. And if the game is set in current year, then you could even add all kinds of 3D printed abominations.

Just wanted to mention a new board /valis/ is now open on the webring. It's a place about entertainment systems using video or rich visual mechanisms as feedback that may or may not have been put together by a few 8vg anons :^) Discussion can also range to saloon activities like cue games and card shuffling due to their social and classic nature in the ludic activities of people around the world. Having or remembering fun and sharing tips and tricks sounds like the goal, come visit sometime.

I'm sorry.

>>6440 Does it reference the stealth tank incident?

WHY HAVE YOU LEFT US, OH MONOLITH? Да будет благословенно их вечное единение с Монолитом! Смерть… Лютая смерть тем, кто отвергает Его священную силу! >GSC adds NFTs to S2 >Fans get upset >"We heard you and decided to remove NFTs from the game" >probably putting back in microtransactions or some other bullshit. I am going to go pray to the Monolith to absolve myself of my sins for wanting GSC to make a sequel to COP back in 2011. https://archive.md/MrJrI https://www.theverge.com/2021/12/15/22834567/stalker-2-nfts-metahuman-dmarket Link is spoilered because it is a garbage site https://twitter.com/stalker_thegame/status/1471148058708791308 I woke up late so I could not get some of the original twees (now taken down).

STALKER 2 DELAYED TO DEC 2022 Not that it matters knowing it will be garbage.

>>6448 The issue with delays is eventually you reach the "Duke Nukem" point where fans are going to have more expectations than what devs can deliver with each additional delay.

>>6448 >Still NO GAEMPLAY >Still no confirmation of MOD SUPPORT >Still owned by SIRGAY

>>6449 Speak for yourself, my own expectations have gotten worse and worse over the years. Back when it was first announced I figured it'd merely be mediocre, now it's shaping up to be an absolute disaster.

WARGAME 4 IS COMING https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4yZRkFsQUM Get prepared to be disappointing like STALKER, because... >Early access >6 Nations >SD 2 tier DLC probable >No gimmick unicorns This is a tossup >SD 2 deckbuilding

>>6451 At least the mods for the originals keep getting better Shame we will never get a proper sequel and instead will get this rushed out console cashgrab for the redditor audience. >>6452 >Regiments >Broken Arrow >Men of War 2 It's a good time to like Wargames

>>6451 At least the mods for the originals keep getting better Shame we will never get a proper sequel and instead will get this rushed out console cashgrab for the redditor audience. >>6452 >Regiments >Broken Arrow >Men of War 2 It's a good time to like Wargames

>>6453 >Men of War Not to be a complete jackass, but has 1C ever done anything to improve the game and the GEM engine other than adding assault mode and the few other single player stuff? I remember cold war being a complete fucking shitshow with HP bars and other COH tier bullshit?

>>6312 Did we squander the time that we had?

>>6456 >Did we squander the time that we had? It's only waste if you dishonor the memory of the old times. They still live within you, don't they Strelok? >Half-Life Enhanced was never released

>>6441 Fallout 3's PPSh-41 shotgun seems kinda quaint now, don't it?

>STALKER 2 about to be cancelled forever Thank you Putin, for saving us from that westernized console bullshit tailor made for redditors!

>>6459 There were some reports that GSC's building actually got hit by a stray missile strike.

>>6460 It's fake cuckchan shit just like that Gabe Newell CSGO image. Don't fall for made up retarded shit

>>6461 Damn. It would have been funny as fuck to see GSC and Sergay get scwacked by a missle right after the NFT bullshit they pulled.

I think /k/ would like Mindustry, it's basically a clash between Factorio and tower defense. You create machinery and factories to extract, produce, and refine materials, which you then use to build and supply turrets to defend your base against hordes of robots. It's very heavy on logisticis and figuring out how to get items from one end of the map to the other and finding the best places to defend from.

Does anyone have any ideas for a /k/ tier dream game? what wars are underrated and would make for a good game? How realistic would a game need to be hardcore? are there any upcoming games you are looking forward too?

>>291 >C&C Generals/Zero Hour was a'ight.

>Most of GSC moved to Czech Republic >Some stayed in Ukraine >Some working 4free Fuck, we're gonna get this consolized dumbed down piece of shit either we like it or not.

>>6466 It was more than a'ight. It was right.

>>6468 >GLA invades Europe >USA gets dismantled >China rapes the GLA and invades Europe Funny how close it got, maybe it will get even closer with the passage of time. Truly a timeless classic

I've been playing STALKER with intent to actually play it instead of just mess around a bit, and it's much "easier" than I remember in the past which is taking me for a loop.

>>6469 Yeah, both events and technology presented in the game was couple of decades too early. I also thought that the PLA using Type-80s was an anachronism for either comedic or western propaganda purposes or simply communist imagery recognisability, but holy shit IRL China still uses these fucking archosaurs! (the term "dinosaur" would be too lenient)

>>6471 They're from the 80s though, they're younger than the Abrams.

>>6467 and it's still being delayed and bordering on being cancelled again.

>>6473 PLEASE

>>6475 FEAR 2 was a mistake

>>6475 Well even though she looks like a rotting corpse Alma isn't dead, so I guess not. The protag does get raped by her at the end of the game so it's possible. Never stop dreaming anon

>>6477 >Alma isn't dead Canonically she is dead and has been dead for a long time. >The protag does get raped It's not rape if you're willing That was just kinky bondage time.

>>6475 It depends. Is she actually a corpse? A ghost? Reanimated undead, zombie, vampire et cetera? Corpse is necrophilia, ghost is phantasmophilia, not sure what reanimated undead is specifically. Pretty sure necrophilia is exclusively about the inanimate dead though.

>>6479 She's a dead corpse inside a stasis orb. Because of the stasis orb her brain is still able to create brain activity (much like how a dead body shows brain activity several minutes or hours after death) which is how she uses psionic powers to interact with the world still. She's not a ghost proper because it's not her spirit running around its her projecting her big brain power everywhere and using her brainwaves to interact with replicant soldiers.

>>6480 Then, based on my expert opinion and analysis of the subject, I can confirm that Anon is not engaging in necrophilia with this character. Do a sex on her, so long as you do not release the body from the stasis orb and cause brain functions to cease.

Here's your STALKER 2 bro! Hope you like cutscenes

>>6482 What bothers me more than 2 being a AAA wannabe for western retards is the gentrification of the series and fandom by tacticool booger faggots who insert bump helmets and webbings into a fiction where aside from the few who own exoskeletons most people wear Goretex and arm themselves with weathered AKs and old shotguns; turning the zone from a physical and anthropological alien lonely landscape to heroes killing monsters and armed walking flesh like they're the tier-one operators they LARP as at the range. CS and ZP didn't have the atmosphere and lack of "thematic hand-holding" of SoC but there was still a consistency with the world, gear and attitude.

>>6482 It looks like a fallout 4 clone. This looks like it would fit into a fallout 4 mod and nobody would know the difference.

>>6484 It's more like a Far Cry spin-off but yeah it looks like any other open-world FPS that came out in the last decade.

Americans used to hate criminals and the homeless, but now every American is a criminal and soon every American will be homeless.

>>6486 Will they keep playing videogames though?

I would reccomend forgotten hope 2. The servers are kind if dead, but the game looks good so far.

>>6482 >trailer in English >name is in Latinized "Ukrainian" I hate these people. >>6483 Tarkov and its consequences have been a disaster for STALKER.

>>6488 Forgotten Hope 2 is great but I feel like standalone tactical shooter games have mostly replaced it, same with Project Reality, said games usually have people from those mods working on them as well. They were great stepping stones though and still great games. >>6489 I'm fine with Tarkovs weapon and inventory autism, I don't understand the cynicism about it.

>>6490 Tarkov's weapon and inventory autism have infected STALKER modding for a long time. It was pushed as being "inspired by STALKER," causing a rush of players to STALKER. These players found a janky action game and entered the modding community or already existed in the modding community and began applying Tarkov to STALKER, practically changing it into another game. It doesn't need to be an intricate simulation and was never meant to be one.

>>6489 >name is in Latinized "Ukrainian" Stalker devs are Ukranian. This is patriotism rather than virtue signaling.

>>6492 I know that STALKER's developers are Ukrainian. My problem with it is that the trailer is in English while the name is Ukrainian and Latinized. The trailer should be in Ukrainian with English subtitles. As it is, it's a gross middle ground.

Americans think that the purpose of NSA wiretapping is to arrest Hillary, but maybe Clinton will never go to prison and the target of tyranny is YOU.

>>6494 Interesting, what game is it from?

>>6495 Vanquish

Thoughts on Uberti's and Ruger Vaqueros? I've always wanted a good SAA thanks to the metal gear series. >>6330 >>Windows 10 This >>6354 Fuck Microsoft and fuck Bill Gates, just instal PopOS or Mint if most of your games are in Steam. Trust me it's mostly retard proof hence the success of the Meme Deck as a pretty decent budget gamer PC because to no ones surprise you can push your hardware even more without M$ bloat holding you back.

>>6317 You could also add a pepper box to the lower tier weapons list. It was basically the poormans version of a Hi-point at the time which met the minimum requirements of (is a gun that can be concealed). Yeah I know it doesn't meet the requirements listed but I think it's a fun idea so whatever. >>6292 >What's the last good FPS you guys played? The Onirism demo was kinda fun, has lots of neat moving mechanics and is basically a cute an funny challenging Doom sorta game . That game certainly does have potential (if it's ever actually finished that is). But I mostly just play TF2 and Gerry's Mod though so make of that what you will and my standards. >>6284 >Call me a fag Okay, your a fag anon.

>>6497 Uberti is a near-1:1 copy of a Colt, including 19th century-level refinement. Ruger is an attempt to modernise and bulk up the design so you can abuse it the way you fantasise a gunslinger would’ve done so in the old west. For example: hammer fanning. Classic Colts (and Ubertis) will lunch their hammer springs and chamber ratchet mechanism in short order if you do that. Vaqueros are designed from the factory so you can fan the hammer.

>>6499 Well I'll probably get the Ruger Vaquero then since it would likely outlast me and several other generations making it a great heirloom to pass down probably when we start seeing effective railguns and lasers being mounted on the beds of Toyota trucks.

>>6486 Honestly sounds about right. I feel fugged no matter what I do tbh

You in, Strelok? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQOeZPLHook

>>6502 >denuvo nope

>>6503 Leaked dev build doesn't have Denuvo.

>>6136 I like to play video games and post cunny. But everyone's been brainwashed by jewish feminists and old roastie whores to think marring peak performance is evil rather than letting them be groomed by MSM and schools to whore out for 10 years and then demand a traditional husband in their mid 30s. Meanwhile women have sex with thousands of kids in public school every year and nobody gives a shit because the boys they fucked consented. I'm sure I'll trigger a bunch of the reddit feminists here, but I'll be kind to the cuck mods of this place and only post a screencap showing how fucking blue pilled is /pol/ and most /pol/tards.

>>6505 Wrong board, dumbass.

>>6502 I want those 3D models.

>>6505 >Board is for discussion of weapons, combat, military history, conflict news reporting, and outdoorsmanship. Fuck off back to wherever you crawled in from. Christ this board has gone to shit lately.

>>6240 is Freeman really some feminist spew? I remember the game being cool, then one day it updated and there were women everywhere and I was confused lol

Anybody played Company Of Heroes 3? So far from what I've seen from gameplay/stream videos I'm thoroughly unimpressed on almost every level by it. Lelic really has no talent in it anymore. At least all the good devs left and are making Homeworld 3.

>>6510 The gameplay is good, the visuals and sounds are all fucking shit. Just play CoH1, CoH2 is also dogshit for a myriad of reasons as well. CoH died with Brian Woods and Relic died post THQ bankrupcy layoffs.

Intravenous is a pretty /k/ game. It's a hardcore stealth game about chasing a vendetta against a hobo because he and his pals killed your brother after a night at the range. Only one guy makes it, so the vision is pretty clear. It's updated often and on GOG, so it's practically free. The developer is working on a sequel alongside his continued support of the first game.

The Mainline Jagged Alliance Series and Mainline Soldier of Fortune Series are great. I love being a mercenary. Jagged Alliance 2 is a definite improvement over 1, but I've only played a little of 1 because of how confusing the sprites in 1 can be. Quasimorph might become a /k/ game, but it's too early to tell because it's only in its demo stage. >>6512 Now that I've basically beaten the game, I can add to my review of it: The AI is pretty good, and I really enjoy going on rampages because of how lethal they can be. While this is a stealth game, you can go in guns blazing with full body armor or act like a serial killer with a throwing knife. I prefer the latter. Silencers work as they should, with the only truly silent ranged weapons (excluding the taser and EMPs, which are gadgets) being a veterinary pistol and a tranquilizer rifle. In my opinion, the best way to play is on True with no view cone, bankrupt accomplice, money system, ignorance of bodies in combat, magazine system, double-tap tactical reload, dynamic rain, waking enemies, and auto-grab ammo. My main complaints right now are: The implementation of cameras in mid-game levels despite the absence of camera control rooms until later, but this is likely an oversight by the sole developer's part and will be fixed soon. The sometimes lengthy ambient mook dialogue. It's in text, so seeing a big box appear takes me out of the game.

>>6513 An addendum to this: I'm being filtered hard on Difficult for the Soldier of Fortune Platinum. I breezed through previous levels, but Siberia is full of cheap positions that are outside of the player's maximum draw distance but inside the range of their guns. I never have enough flash packs to blind them, and ammo for anything but the SMG is extremely scarce. How has anon passed this in the past?

>>6515 >Difficult I meant "Challenging".

I have been playing Warthunder lately. It is a pretty fun game if you ignore the grind and treat it as a biplane fighting simulator. Additionally after a controversy Gaijin lowered prices of all aircraft. They are teasing a new update introducing Hungarian subtree, and yes it does have Lynx in it.

>>6517 I'll never forgive them for what they did to the german 20mm.

Goes who gets to be an anniversary vehicle in warthunder?

>>6519 >it's real Might as well reinstall.

>>6520 The event is multipart and you are already late for the first one. The grind is mindbreaking and lifechanging too. I did not have so many existentional questions in my mind about my life and what the fuck I am doing since university. Especially since I am grinding it with brits and every game is an uptier.

>>6521 >I am grinding it with brits Why would you do this to yourself?

>>6522 hey fuck you Serbia it's not our fault we haven't got a premium banter license since the last Falklands war

>>6523 All you had to do was not naming a boat Gay Archer.

>>6522 Its the only nation I have 3rd (well 4th now) level in, making it viable for the challenge. I begun playing them in the first place because I have a love-hate relationship with their quirky machines, playing Brit campaigns a lot in Open General made me appreciate some of their machines and it turned out I had one tank model from different project and it was Cromwell 1. I reached Centurion at least so now it will be easy. They say it is the first good Brit tank but I like its predecessor, Challenger more since it is pretty much a fast tank destroyer with neutral steering. Also I play naval a lot. >>6523 Brits suck in warthunder since due to how damage is calculated curved armor is prefered and shells with filler (HEAT, APHE, SAP...) are prefered for actually killing something. British guns might have decent penetration but they are generally incapable of causing enough damage (ammo explosion, taking out most crew members, totalling engine) to actually get a kill. Its an exercise in suffering, in 80 matches I have managed to kill only 6 enemies with Churchill VII and 4 of these was machine gunning trucks. >>6524 Gay is an entire class, there is also Gay Bruiser and Brawler. Too bad they removed 20cal from its back, it would be actually usable. Basically better in every way Vosper (2).

Another level finished. This time mostly with pizza truck with a naval cannon glued to it. Its pretty good but it has some tremendous flaws: >it has high profile and virtually no gun depression. Meaning that if you are facing enemy on flat ground you might not be capable of even pointing that thing at him. Panzers VI are too low, I checked. >this also means it cannot really go hulldown >its quite WIDE and makes maneuvering a bit risky

>>6525 >Gay is an entire class Yeah, their ruling class.

>>6525 >>6527 >The Gay class includes: Gay Archer, Gay Bombardier, Gay Bowman, Gay Bruiser, Gay Caribineer, Gay Cavalier, Gay Centurion, Gay Charger, Gay Charioteer, Gay Dragoon, Gay Fencer and Gay Forester >During the Second World War the Royal Navy also sailed HMS Gay Viking and HMS Gay Corsair WEW >>6526 I wouldn't trust Gayjew with BP vehicles considering how much they nerfed the LVT-4/40.

>>6528 >I wouldn't trust Gayjew with BP vehicles considering how much they nerfed the LVT-4/40. That one is free though the paid ones in this are gay archer and flying miyata

Just one more.

bump

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is shit.

>>6136 Starfield guns are weird shit man. They must have used a AN AI generated gun image or something because some have square barrels and mystery pieces.

>>6534 >expecting anything else from Bethesda Today I will remind them.

Power DoLLS. The first one, anyway. Later games turned into generic mecha shit.

>>6536 The first one is translated?

>>6537 The DOS version is translated. You can find it on CDRomance with DOSBOX build in. Remember to follow the instructions provided on the page you download it.

>>6537 Are screenshots translated? >>6538 Or on Abandonia.

>>6524 Playing some coastal, turns out that gay archer is an absolute ass. I mean it is fine but there are much better non premium vehicles already in the tech tree. The gun is nice, since it is autoloaded 40mm autocannon, but Dark Aggressor has the same gun, similiar top speed while having ridiculous for a motorboat 4 torpedoes. It would be better in its original planned form with 40mm autocannon on the front and 12,7mm machine gun on its ass but they removed it in their great wisdom. At the same time they tried to remove gay from its name leading many to speculate that having heavy machine gun stuck to your ass is the source of gayness but they changed their mind and kept the original name. There is new grind event, wish me luck. I am going for Mississippi.

If you're still miserable about the fate of '83, there's another cold war gone hot game that is currently in development called Afterconflict. It is being made by a mix of ukrainian, polish and russian developers. How they haven't killed each other I don't know. They wrote their own game engine and have an unprecedented autistic obsession with realism. In their own words, Afterconflict is meant to be the "DCS of first person shooters". A free demo is expected to be released sometime in 2024. Currently implemented features include: >1:1 true to life night vision >Point firing >Adjustable sights and scopes (even windage) >Hearing loss when firing weapons without ear protection (there's no ear protection) >Concussion from nearby explosions >Concussion from firing a AT weapon that is not rated for indoors firing, indoors >Realistic vehicle physics (currently only jeeps and trucks are drivable) >Vehicles have modelled components that can be damaged >Period correct weapon customisation >Dynamic weather system >Their game engine can render grass up to more than 1km, current build renders it up to 800m, which allows players to actually hide in the grass and not stick out like a sore thumb >Grass can be set on fire by tracers >The fire spreads >User friendly level editor that also lets you import 3rd party heightmaps, textures, models and animations into the engine Upcoming features include: >1:1 true to life body armor (They are fully aware that issued 5.56 ammo from that time could not penetrate soviet body armor. They don't care, you'll just have to deal with it) >Drivable tanks >Flyable transport helicopters >Medical system >Ambient temperature affecting ammunition velocity >DDR, DE and Yugoslav factions And more They have too many videos for me to upload, so just check them out here https://yewtu.be/channel/UCIQBEB684gjn2zX4rKlDc0w
