Various video game stuff not deserving its own thread

It will be even worse than the game awards.
People say "go play indie" when the average indie game is gayer, worse designed, and more boring than the average AAA slop

Should be worth a view though, just to see what gets promoted.

Paging our hero @Finarfin to watch it for us and tell us how gay it was.

I can only watch an hour before I need to go to sleep, or rather react to it on the HQ. I can watch it in bed though.

[Finarfin]

Correction. I can watch half an hour since it isn't starting, it does in 30 minutes.

I may have shitposted in the past about an "Elden Ring: Fortnite" edition but never did I expect to exist in a reality where that would actually be a thing and here we are with "nightreign"

Technically not fully Fortnite yet (no PVP and lacks collabs/cosmetics spam).

[Breathe]

Hey game devs, stop using indian voice actors. They add nothing to your game.

I don't understand, what does "more detailed than they should be" mean in this case?

[Yankee Zulu]

Steel Hunters is in closed beta testing phase now.

Facilitating fan-made porn as a source of free advertisement

[UltraFan123]

It appears that the developers went the extra mile and made the female characters as "realistic" as possible under their clothing, which just like Oyster said, will facilitate the creation of user-made porn from this game.

Quite the smart decision if you ask me since the likes of Overwatch and Fortnite owe a good chunk of their popularity to gooners, and the devs of Marvel Rivals don't want their game to stay behind. lol

The real reason is almost certainly for selling skins, you don't know what part of the model will be exposed later.
Going to guess they lack detailed genitalia/nipples, but otherwise fully formed.

I'm aware, but considering you start every run dropping into the map and it has the enclosing barrier, it's hard not to draw comparisons. To its credit, it's not a full-price game, so I'll give it that.

I saw somewhere (maybe in a thread here somewhere) that modelers do tend to include nipples, officially because it serves as a spatial reference point when making clothes, unofficially because they just want to.

[DagothGeas5]

Thank you all for the info! These sorts of thing fly over my head. If it's not for future skins as rusty said, it is the first I heard of anything like this happening for a game.

David Cage made a fully-detailed 3d model of a naked Elliot Page for "beyond two souls" shower scene, even though the shower scene never fully shows Elliot Page's character.

some funny frenchman

Studio head David Cage is accused of turning a blind eye to the unhealthy working culture and of behaving inappropriately themselves. He has denied all of the allegations.

The allegations came to light last spring when members of staff, including the head of the IT department, filed a complaint against the studio regarding Photoshopped images of employees. These images, said to have been distributed around the office since 2013, are alleged to have included racist, sexist and homophobic elements. Some 600 Photoshopped images are said to have been circulated, depicting employees of the 180-strong studio in Nazi uniforms, swimming costumes and sexualised nurse outfits. Cage claimed he was unaware that some of the images were offensive, he also claimed not to have seen the worst images before then, only ones which "were funny or more or less amusing".

Among the accusations – made by the 15 current and former staff members and reported in Le Monde – are that Cage made jokes with racist and homophobic undertones. Cage is also accused of a lack of consideration for female colleagues, and of making insistent dirty jokes, smutty remarks in the presence of his wife, and inappropriate remarks about actresses in his games. Others have apparently witnessed homophobic or racist jokes. One incident involved a burglary caught on CCTV. After watching, Cage allegedly asked an employee of Tunisian origin, "Is that a cousin of yours?"

[Acrux]

You misunderstood who I said "Who?" about.

[wndrbr]

I find it funny to call her Elliot.

[rusty_shackleford]

You misunderstood who I said "Who?" about.

A 5'1 guy whose most recent role was being the voice actor for a teenage female character in a cartoon.

No such person as Elliot Page exists.

David Cage has precognition. He has saved Ellen Page's body from destruction the only way he could: digitally.

Easy money combine with FOMO since people have little impulse control.

Of course she does. Her parents named her Ellen, but she had a neurogenerative disorder (lesbianism) and got a severe mental illness, including body dysmorphia and a number of other delusive perceptual and cognitive disorders, and instead of fighting the illness, she is deliberately feeding them. Calling herself by a boy's name is part of this.
Like it or not this IS her identity. Of course, YOU do not have to confirm it or feed her delusive spiral. And you shouldn't.
Anyway, this makes it overwhelmingly likely she will suicide at some point not too far distant. Perhaps she has not made funerary arrangements and her family will put her given names on her tombstone. I find this amusing.

Dustborn just released a second major update, including new content! Fantastic news for....about 8 people

Getting tired of every game being an early access release.

Yeah, this is a disgusting practice nowadays. Lets look at a decent game (Gloomwood) which has been in EA for a few years now. They keep releasing new ****/areas/locations for it every few months/year/whatever. So at this rate, I've played the same **** numerous times now to try to get to the new content. By the time the actual game comes out fully-finished, I'll hate it.

Now, I realize this is more of a "my ******* fault" kinda thing, but it's still a ******** practice at the end of the day. Bonus points if previous save files don't work at ******* all in the newest version. **** this.
