Various video game stuff not deserving its own thread

Not being able to buy friends games on PS5 is the most primitive, backwards **** I've ever seen. It's worse than day 1 EGS.

You ever stop and actually look at textures in a sci-fi video game?
Just a buncha nothing

Especially texture for air.

Just because you don't like dungeon crawlers doesn't mean the rest of us don't.

Like what game exactly?
In star citizen,.the textures don't even make sense, neither does the buildings

Darktide meshes and models don't make sense either tbh

They really need to start making textures for air. Crazy no developer has done this yet

Like what game exactly?

near any of them, the textures are just meaningless shapes with no intent, nothing functional. Just greebling for the sake of noise.

I stumbled upon one game that put a lot of effort into its textures — Selaco. Whoever did the environment art is really good at it, there's a story behind almost everything put down. Which is why you probably see so many parts of the environment broken, the designer knew what was behind/inside everything.

I am looking at games award shows and journalists push this year; Silksong, Exp 33, Yotei, Silent Hill f, Hades 2, Split Fiction... they are all women/****** centric games? (and KCD 2 of course ). Some of them i can understand but Silent Hill F, Yotei, Hades 2? When much better isometric arpgs or horror games did not get any recognition? And of course no mention of Wuchang since MC does not look disgusting enough i guess .

Ah, that autistic attention to detail.

the ones using post-processing look really bad which is about 80% of them

It looks like it's almost definitely money laundering.

It does look like something odd is going on there:

Archaeology - Frozen Village - Obey the Fist!'s review.webp

The bizarrely high price of this one that just got released makes me think it may be something similar. Maybe the developer is just really optimistic?

There is also someone commenting about it being money laundering on the Steam forum as well.

Money laundering through fake steam games has been a problem in the past. So it doesn't take much of a leap to guess it's happening again.

They're on sale more often than not, currently with a 94% bundle discount. My theory is some Indian is banking on someone being tricked by seeing the huge savings opportunity and only paying a mere $100.

There's also the proposal that this is possible laundering through steam cards, which must take a lot of time, but is possible.

Eh ultimately it doesn't matter, I don't remember this being against Steam rules, so there's nothing that can be done about it.

Not like it matters, who the **** would buy this?

Wouldn't be the first time we hear of money laundering in videogames, look at concord's 400 million budget lol there's no ******* way you can convince me that game costs amounted for that, even with all the marketing.

400 million? ***** I can broadcast Concord in NK with that money.

[jdcp]

This sounds very stupid, honestly.

Just because you don't like dungeon crawlers doesn't mean the rest of us don't.

true RPGs and a real challenge.

Bros, LegendofTotalWar is leaving jewtube. He's like an old friend. It was a different time.

Haven't been sick like this four years, good bye old buddy.

Something I just found. I was interested but I don't know about the game. Worth a watch.

They wanted Black Flag, the rest was to rub it in their faces.
