haha. yeah workers and resources has a bit of that. Having to wait on materials to actually build, or having to swap projects etc. or manpower. Along the same lines I've discussed this on r/basebuilding. none of these sims are truly capitalist. in every one, you are some kind of god, king...

I'd like to see city builders handle rural towns, and suburbs better. populations, and travel time for cops/fire, etc never reflect reality. parks, wildlife, etc would be interesting.

poor traffic sim was a MAJOR complaint on skylines 1. if they really did focus on that, it is a big seller. In generally skylines was pretty as heck, but a bit shallow. A major factor for "Workers and resources" recommendations, much much deeper systems. u-turns, rerouting, accidents...

These are both on amazon prime. Conan the Destroyer. less well loved compared to the original. its a much more direct dnd session. party gathering.. queen hires a fighter/thief, and thief to escort her daughter to steal a magic gem. sends her fighter, captain of the guard along. they pick...

yeah, watching now via prime. not done, but do have to recommend so far. It really does walk the line between mockery and earnestness so well. the MC constantly gets "am I a giant piece of shit?" checks. The whole thing hits the pacing of a great true crime documentary.

you might be surprised. the further west you go probably less, yes. But east coast is LITTERED with ghost towns, and roads. Basically by 1900, the entirety of the East coast was deforested. cut down, pastures and towns built. we since then centralized more into cities, and had better...

1.1.5 live is up. small patch. nothing noteworthy really. https://www.taleworlds.com/en/News/534 1.2 beta is the bigger news. some major stuff. Added 6 new battle terrains - West of Revyl, southwest of Quyaz, three terrains northeast of Razih and one around the town of Odohk. Added a total...

not sure how anyone would not know that... that song is pretty famous. ma baker was obviously also a real song. its probably noticeable, they aren't American. the English not being quite right, and certainly not for Chicago, Detroit or any other city. German producers and male voice...

that would have been pretty amusing.

ep 5. demon 76. having borders is facist. having a nation is facist. having a national identity is facist. having consideration for coworkers with stinky food is facist. the English certainly don't eat fish.. but don't eat fish in the office, because it stinks up the place. black demon...

Ep 4. "mazey day" past half way, waiting for the twist or this one to "start"... odd one so far. seems very hollywood centric. "papparazi is bad". no shit? "he signed up for it by being famous" something only some hollywood papparazi or in hollywood would say. then we got mazey. high...

So playing the Outer worlds now, and I know exactly what they mean in terms of "Kotor2/outer worlds in size". yeah, this zoned off planet/planet design. ooph. like every "area" is just a skyrim town. small contained areas, with little to no cross questing. Definitely a disappointing...

ep3. "beyond the sea" not too far in. having trouble with this one. why is it set in 1969? and using mansen? The idea of using avatars for space flight makes decent sense. but.. this shit would be reversed. you'd send the avatar into space, not the real person... the time spent is odd as...

so yeah. ep1 "joan is awful" is some fantastic black mirror stuff. twists, sci fi nightmare. They don't all need to be downers. The funny and happy end is fine. Ep2. "loch henry" eyebrows.... solid as is, but its interesting, there is no scifi or tech angle. its just a satire on...

starting this. #1 going meta did catch me. started off just thinking, "gentlemen. women" but right into "Joan is awful" on netflix. haha.

voicing would be the issue currenty. till we get more deepfaking. Starsector is fun for this. it actually does do this. Char creation you can choose honorific. (older versions were amusing, since it was based on portrait expressly. and many of them are fully helmeted. people would pick the...

They have been struggling for a while. iffy games, lots of bad business deals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsidian_Entertainment trouble started with getting shafted by THQ and south park:stick of truth. THQ going bankrupt screwed them. Famously didnt get a bonus for fallout:new...

just eat the bugs guys, its the decent thing to do.

pillars has 4 kinds of humans, 2 elves, orlans, which are furry halflings. 2 dwarves. 2 Aumaua, which are scaly human/fishmen. coastal Aumaua are blue fishmen, island aumaua are brown fishmen. godlikes are humans cursed/blessed at birth by specific gods of the world, to act as...

pretty meh movie. works better if you imagine this is a world in 40k being overrun by Slaanesh and tzeetch. The pain, art, decadence, mutations, etc... A darker undercurrent of something terrible coming to a head from this weirdness adds to the movie.

the outer worlds is on gamepass. I paused my wrath of the righteous 2nd play to check it out. Avowed seemed to have made some odd choices. copying TES combat first off. the combat is like the worst aspect of TES Games. why copy that? at the same time, doing so, puts expectations on...

The differences are big enough to justify calling it a new game. pretty major engine updates. lighting/textures/etc. campaign, classes, etc. Massive animation upgrades. movement baked into skills. (something I've though PoE could really use) Every class seems to be doing a dash in the...

you have to be careful though. there is the "immersion" factor as well. Space is big, and lonely. if you compact it too much, too carelessly, it stops being space. starsector again. core worlds are busy with traffic. get outside the core worlds and theres little traffic. rarely do you see...

Captain, another planet needs our help!

i mean, have you played chorus, everspace, star citizen? everspace is basically privateer. you play house of the dying sun? didnt play this one personally. I watched a stream. this has one of the best final missions of any game ever. not going to to spoil it. but haha. holy shit.

everspace 2 is on gamepass for anyone that wants to try it out. its more like Rebel galaxy if you've played that. but with more sticking to fighters, not broad side capitals like Rebel galaxy gets up to. I did actually really enjoy Rebel galaxy, but never played its sequel/prequel, Rebel...

its on gamepass. I got bored with it very quick. ships and weapons all too similar. it tried to make some ship bombers, etc. but eh. the on rails nature of the missions. meh. got repetitive quick. Lack of enemy variation was a major issue as well. tuco, you play Empyrion? ship...

When you say mid, or others giving various 7/10 ratings, etc. what exactly are you comparing it to? PoE, Grim dawn, Last epoch, lost ark, etc? or, games in general? or d2 and 3 specifically? or, some theoretical arpg that should exist?

yeah. its hard to pin point. I think there was a newness, uniqueness to them back in the day. But now, they are just so repetitive. one aspect is the magic as I was noting. sci-fi space weapons tend to be so very the same. Magic lets them be creative in gameplay. you'd think "tech...

I think alot of people here are forgetting 90% of people working in hollywood/comics/animation are radically leftist cultural vandals. It used to be just gay, bi, trans people projecting onto older characters, insisting characters that weren't blatantly overtly cis, straight are secretly gay...

Heres that IGN interview. this is cohh watching, the interview and reacting.. didn't see the original source after a quick look. Its where the 30fps locked comment is from. There's a few other interesting topics though. The guy askes about NMS and mass effect comparisons as one point...

not proof of anything but.... Phil was wearing a hexen teeshirt in his presentation.. in this Starfield direct, the interviewer asked Todd about any help from IdTech they recieved, and... what games IDtech might be working on.. declined to spoil what project they were working on, but did talk...

I was going to make a post on how a lack of "magic" was going to effect sales. Will have to re-review the videos on combat etc. try to nail down what exactly is available. Biotics, tk, psychic powers. even hacking, drones, "summons", other tech based magic. I dont think we saw drones in...

outpost system. can see in the UI. "build limit". no number, but just a visual bar it seems. cargo, crew, needed power, total power production /min. "assign crew and companions to work in them." I wonder how much automation this is. proper colony building, or just another game with "crew"...

An article with some sobering details. https://www.pcgamer.com/avowed-rpg-obsidian-preview-magic-interview/ Exclusive: Avowed started as Obsidian's Skyrim, but evolved to focus on depth over breadth, 'where Obsidian really shines' they repeatedly go on about how companions are very...

lol. yeah. that 1000yard star, odd head bob, and mouth moving out of sinc with the head. I almost have to think it was intentional to remind every one this is TES people. All this NMS comparisons seems weak to me. NMS is pretty empty. I expect TES npc interactions. like fallout and skyrim...

bump. day 1 gamepass. 2024 release date announced.

Bethesda/xbox coming out strong. fu, have some games! and day one gamepass!
