I liked being able to carry over gladiator belts and headbands to my next Trails replaythrough. More craft spamming for everyone!

Car companies don't want their cars involved in anything that's "criminal" these days and they especially don't want their cars to blow up. I think Driver: San Francisco was the last game where major car manufacturers agreed to have their cars in a game where you can commit crimes. But they had to make a special fake car that was designed to be blown up for cutscenes.

Who are these people that care about driving specific real life cars in video games?
I was one of them when I was a kid and cars were cool looking.

The same people who care about playing as specific real life sports negroes in video games.

Normies and even me when I was a kid loved driving real life cars in video games. I still think it adds a lot to a game but nowadays it limits you severely in terms of game design.

NOTE:
When considering whether and where to acquire the game, you should be aware that the developer probably hates you if you enjoy using this forum.
@Tangerine - I don't want to muck up the Realms of Antiquity discussion with this, because I do think it's a really good game. But I think he's easily in a list of the "Top 10 TDS" game devs. Never, ever, directly support him.

I don't like New Game+ if it's just going through the game again but overpowered. If it gives me alternative story paths, I think it's neat.

Is every single one of those "people" a moderator? Why would the server need so many?

While the obvious answer is to be on the lookout for "wrong thought", it makes me wonder: Why hasn't rusty put together an RPGHQ moderator army willing to die for Israel Trump? You could wipe out the unloyal posters in the blink of an eye!

I, personally, am interested in RPGHQ or, rather, PCgamesHQ, not politicalpetpeeveHQ.

In some games this is very fun to do. As an example, I can name resident evil 4 and 5.

You have now shown yourself disloyal to rusty and Trump and must be purged. Goodbye.

well, that's the thing, it's not, but it's made to look like it is. It's supposed to be read "Raven", but Я and И aren't an R and an N... It's like that TV drama from years ago, Grssk.

I am under the impression Destiny 2 is quite successful. This may very well just be the start of Destiny 3

It's a bit weird that the dev is doing this considering he is Ukrainian? I thought it was a western thing to use russian letters to make it look "cool" and to emphasize it's a game with russian stuff in it

Sadly the creator already patched them white. But the steam forums are entertaining.

Idea for aspiring game developers:

Instead of just letting me put a note on a map, let me take a screenshot and draw/write on top of it, and pin that to the map to view later.
