Your anecdotal evidence won't be enough to save the Millennials I'm afraid, for it's not just the video games that were ruined by them. However, shitty games we have today have more to do with the amount of "casual" gamers regardless of their generation, which is currently in its highest ever. Gamers who have years of experience with many games and people who have experience in game development or modding are more likely to notice shitty trends in gaming and react to it.

Just what we need... https://twitter.com/CORSAIR/status/1112455241872691207

By the way, I saw a video of Eve today in which the player character wanders around in some kind of a space station, so apparently you CAN see your character if you wish. Didn't like the animations though. In terms of pre-made player characters, I kinda like the models and animations in Resident Evil 2 remake, which in my opinion is the only good thing about that game. Have you seen any other games recently that impressed you with its character design (models, animations etc.)?

So, has anything changed at Bethesda since the 76 fiasco? Nope.

Eve Online had this, back when Skyrim was released with the shittiest looking characters imaginable, with compression artifacts on their faces... Yes, mods have managed to improve it to some extent, but not all that much, well, apart from the "HDT vagina". Seriously though, would you say that the quality of character creation in games is where it should be, considering what Eve Online had 8 years ago? I recently saw a video of what they've been working on for Star Citizen, which was fairly disappointing, so my answer is "Hell, no!". Note: If you look at the upload date of the video, it's Jan 2011, almost a year before Skyrim and much earlier than Black Desert and all the other crap and this is a game in which you don't even get to see your character... Here's a more recent video from 2016... Now, compare that with the 2017 game ME:Andromeda...

With the dumbing down, or "streamlining" as some call it, TES has been going downhill since day one and considering how FO4 and FO76 turned out to be, is there a single reason to get excited about TES6, like at all? What makes running around Skyrim tolerable for me is Jeremy Soule's, music without it I'm not playing any TES game, period. I highly doubt that they can find a cheaper composer of the same caliber. They might replace him with a plagiarising millennial, which is very likely.

That's just a clickbait video aimed at fanboys. An old lady gets 3D scanned into Zbrush, some environment artist works on a piece of rock. In a fanboy's fantasy world, that must be enough reason to get excited about a game that they have no idea about. Meanwhile, in the real world...

We haven't talked about Anthem here, but it wasn't really necessary as it turned out to be as shitty as I had expected. Bethesda Bioware Obsidian Wonder who's gonna be the next one...

Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 (The Milliennial SJW Edition) was announced yesterday. This is one of the people who works on it apparently... And this one is called Cara Ellison, one of the writers... Cringey enough?

Perfect! It's now perfectly obvious to me that I'll NEVER buy ANY Epic Store exclusive OR ANY game made with Unreal Engine.

Of course, it's for Lord Todd's disciples only. If they announce a game it'll be a 99% beth.net exclusive anyway, so there won't be anything worthy of discussion, just the stuff to laugh at.

Did a bit research today to identify two seemingly unknown music tracks used on a random video on YT, took me a couple of hours. Why did I do it? Well, a couple of people had asked about them in the comments and they didn't get any reply so I wanted to help them, not because I was feeling particularly charitable but I loved the music as well. In the first track, I immediately recognized the voice of Edda Dell'Orso, but I couldn't figure out who the composer was, well, at least not immediately. So had to do a bit of listening. Funny thing is, I've recently been listening to a lot his music, so that might have helped me find it rather quickly. I had heard the second track before, at least once, but I had no clue about what it is. I didn't recognize the voice either. But almost immediately knew that it wasn't Italian. So I used an online music identification tool on a short section of the track which gave me at least something to start with. About 20 mins later I found it. Anyways, here they are, along with some info. Hope you like them. 1st track: "Souvenir D'Un Soir" from Blondy (aka. Vortex) OST (1976) Composer: Stelvio Cipriani, Vocals: Edda Dell'Orso 2nd track: "Maldonne" from Maldonne (aka. Misdeal) OST (1969) Composer: Vladimir Cosma, Vocals: Christiane Legrand (Michel Legrand's sister)

Well, nothing of value has been lost. Minus Cain and Boyarsky. Buried them alongside Jade Raymond who turned out to be a corporate bitch, just like I've always suspected.
