Various video game stuff not deserving its own thread

Valve does nothing but provide the platform.

Women-led games sure are lousy.

Wait, what is Pathologic 3 doing there????

I'm not disagreeing, I was just stating facts.

I recall @wndrbr saying the lead guy got fired or something and a foid seized control

[Vergil]

How are they making a third game with an identical premise now

Thanks for the birthday gift fortnite

Nikolai Dybowski, the original creator and a founder of Ice Pick Lodge, got depressed and became a bitter deadbeat drunkard chud. After getting into a bunch of controversies (including him seducing his student while he was moonlighting as a teacher at a university, or him trying to abduct his kid from his ex-wife), the rest of IPL have decided that they can't have him in their social club any more.

The new lead writer is Alphyna (you probably remember her, iirc she posted on the codex some time ago). She's a quirk chungus who translated Disco Elysium into Russian.

Well, game will fail artistically, whole creative part of game was in him.

no wonder the first thing they did after getting rid of him is announcing a mercenary work on someone else's IP (Darkwood 2).

Oh, I know. That's the reason Valve won't see any more of my money. Someone should tell Gabe that woke garbage isn't popular anymore.

What will you do now? Just curious.

Silent hill was never good.

Resident Evil was never good

BTW all FNV fans might be interested in the L-15 mod releasing in just a few hours, it's been a long wait but it's probably gonna be worth it considering the team who made it is the same which worked in the Dry Wells mod.



Not sure if it interests you m8s but there's that @loregamer @Wolverines

For what I've talked with some of the devs it's gonna be grounded, no crazy stuff, no weird ****, just Fallout fun NCR lore.

CA are not saying 40K total war has space combat, and given the warhammers dropped naval combat, I doubt there will be any. My guess is armies can only attack on planets. Maybe do boarding actions on ships, but no Battlefleet stuff. The single-entity units are still jank, so squads of marines, each marine bringing a different gun, will be jank. Should have been 30K, when the Legions were more rank and file, but 40K anything automatically sells, even though GW hate White Men.

DoW4 could be good, so no loss if Total 40K sucks.

WTF, I never knew all this.
Alphina is ok. I participated in her play by post. She can produce outlandish, funny, cute, sad and stupid content. Unless she burns out in a few months. She seems to be calmer than Dyb and somewhat less philosophical.

Nah, she's not to my taste.
And IRL she's pretty libertarian. Including evacuating from Russia to Argentina after 2022. Some of our libtards are truly tards. "I can't live in this nazi Russia so I'm fleeing to the country that gave shelter to the real Nazis."
We even had some pop singers who declared "I can't live in a country that lies to its citizens and wages war on neighbours". And moved to Israel.

I didn't see this posted yet. DoW 4 will be out before TW40K and is supposed to be a blend of DoW1 and 2, which in theory is where the ideal squad-based rts lies.

I'm hyped for 40K, if only out of curiosity. CA surpassed Bethesda's arrogance, and basically never will make a good historical total war, because they're british and thoroughly pozzed. Mechanically, can they translate a squad-based system like 40K, through their single-entity jank? Anyway, it could still be cool, if there's good multiplayer. Avatard conquest and co-op campaign would be good, idk if Total Warhammer had them.

I should continue it but I'm not feeling it and I don't want to force it.

So many games teased were 2027 or later, that the abolition of USAID must have really crippled devs.

Has co-op campaign aye, game 3 has up to 8 player campaigns, but **** has a lot of desync issues from what i've seen

Figures they're weak on the multiplayer front, since they abandoned it for so long, but this would be the game to repair the code.
