Various video game stuff not deserving its own thread

(Making a new post as it is about a completely unrelated topic to what my previous post is about, if I should merge them for clutter removal, let me know! <3 )

Wanted to ask, is this game any kind of woke at all?
I looked around and it seems to be fine, but many games were "fine", only for them to (like Cyberpunk) have ***** **** shoved in, sneakily or otherwise, and I want none of it.
I read around here that it is something of a Bioshock clone or something, and though I played the original Bioshock, I really don't mind clone-games and the likes.

They censored a cartoon that plays in-game after some western journos cried, don't know why.

Other than that, I haven't heard anything with regards to being 'woke'.

if they really wanted to stop tasteful rape than they needed to limit where you can rape. Add rape booths to the overworld like Majora's Mask, for instance. By letting men rape anywhere, anytime they are basically incentivizing you to rape. Why wouldn't you

Why indeed.

I'm amazed that for the first time in my life, I'm in total agreement with the Todd.

This is nothing new, but it's almost unbelievable how bad consoles are. Using my PS4 today required about 20 minutes of updates, nagging warning messages, wifi reconnection and multiple resets before regaining basic functionality. All I wanted to do was look at a game in the store, where the base price was 25% higher than Steam's base price.

Finally getting around to playing Dragon Age Origins. Only an hour in so far, but it's pretty darn good. Well-polished, with fun and accessible gameplay A shame it apparently goes downhill with later games. And if the supposed remake rumor turns out to be true, I can only imagine how they'll bastardise this one.

Oh look, they've made a game based on every bad idea

This is a combat-less CRPG

Ah, a wetless water.

Maybe you roll to increase the chances of holding a cup of water without dropping it?. Or unlocking the front door without breaking the lock and trapping yourself in?.

Basically every old MMO has some ugly woman as the studio lead now. Couldn't imagine why the genre is so dead.

I liked when Steam wasn't a dumpster

go into your settings and disable seeing porn games

It doesn't get all of them because some have the porn removed and are advertised as RPGs while the developer offers a patch elsewhere to put it back in.

Funnily enough I was gonna say it reminded me of Big Boss from Metal Gear who is just directly traced from Sean Connery in the original version

ESO devs decided it would be a good idea to have some ugly old woman represent them on stream who then goes on to attack the playerbase

Atomic Heart is one of the least woke games I've played in years. The only hint of wokeness is one character has a side shave. 8/10 game for me. Maybe even 9/10 when compared to other recent releases.

My only gripe with Atomic heart is its unskippable cutscenes that last quite long. Makes the game unbearable to replay.

She looks so insufferable. Who's mom is that?

Dragon Age: Origins combat is very underrated on the fun scale.

Dragon Age: Origins combat is very underrated on the fun scale.

There is even a mod that ups the speed of combat too, I would like to give it a try but unfortunately it's only on the Nexus like 99% of all mods. I hope the HQ will grow to host more of these, ones that improve QOL for games and ones that offer substantial changes (like SkyUI and Beyond Skyrim). There is also a mod that lets you skip the Orngar sequence in the beginning, which would be nice on repeat playthroughs.

Maybe it'll be good.

[Oyster Sauce]

Why isn't this an option for non-pirated games?

how? I think you can only have fun with dual-wield and mage builds. Playing with archer or two-hander is frustrating, several of the two-hander skills are broken. and shield build is ok but you just stand there.

There's really no excuse why stuff like this isn't a standard. Especially with how incompetent devs are with compressing audio you shouldnt have to download gbs of audio you will never touch. You should be able to opt out of certain texture sizes too. There's no reason to have to install an insane amount of 4k textures and other bloat for a game you're only going to run on medium anyway.
