    You should ask the retards who keep attaching the word "punk" to whatever they found. I guess creating stupid sub-genres makes them feel special somehow. In their small minds this is probably formula: Cyberpunk = (A dark dystopian world setting with a city decorated with neon lights) + (Something cyber e.g. cyborgish augmentation or VR/AR) + (Some rebellious punks that look like they're from the 70's) What these idiots call as cp don't even have a common theme most of the time, as they lack one or more of the things in the formula. I personally don't give a shit about how they categorize books and movies in their stupid heads. To me the only meaningful categorization is "sci-fi". Whenever I hear about "something-punk" I quickly realize that it's some millennial shit and steer clear of it.

    Some people refer to Blade Runner as a "cyberpunk" film, which was neither cyber, nor punk. The film was based on a 1968 novel which was written in an era in which the "punk" subculture did not even exist and it deals with androids and artificial intelligence and the plot revolves around what it means to be human. The movie itself doesn't deal with anything "cyber" or "punk" either in any specific or generic way, and its aesthetic style, i.e. the cityscape with neon lights, was simply a thing of the 80's, which anybody can observe in films and series that was made in that decade. People literally cherry pick this film despite not at all part of the cp sub-genre, most likely because it inspired the aesthetic style of some of the "cyberpunk" films. CP 2077 was no exception, it has blatantly copied BR aesthetic since its announcements and it's really no surprise that even William Gibson called it as the "GTA with generic 80's retro-future", which is pretty much what it is.

    Don't know why but this reminds me of Anthem's "Roadmap" for some reason... https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ErpA8-_WMAUDNfV?format=jpg&name=large CP's a garbage game anyway, but at least they should fix its bugs and be done with it.

    My pick would be: Jagged Alliance 2 (with the 1.13 mod) Runner-ups: Mount & Blade : Warband (with mods), and maybe Skyrim (with mods). and here's my reasoning: Would always pick a sandbox/semi-sandbox role-playing game with high replayability. Would always pick a PC game as I like the freedom to modify a game however I like. Would NEVER pick a narrative driven or story focused game as stories get old really fast.

    If you had to choose a single video game to play for the rest of your life, which one would you pick? Rules: You must only pick one, but you're allowed to post runner-ups. You may not pick an unreleased game (e.g. Star Citizen). You may use mods. You may pick older games (e.g. Atari, C64, Amiga games). You are not allowed to play it on multiple platforms. You do not have to explain the reasons why you've picked it, but you are welcome to do so. You can change your mind anytime you want by editing your post. You may only pick single-player games or rather, games that don't rely on an external service, or other people to be played.

    How many processes do you guys see when you look at the Details tab on the Task Manager on your PC/laptop while you're not running any programs? Just count the lines. Is it below or above 30? What about the running services (services.msc)? Is it around 40 or way more than that? Not related to this topic, but I'm just curious if you've done any optimizations to your Windows or you're running it as it was originally configured.

    I'm sure Urag has already read those books... several times... and is eager to put the theory into practice... with the help of someone who's willing. You gonna help him?

    This may not be a major concern for people who have a PC/laptop with plenty of memory, but you may still be annoyed by the fact that your browser keeps using more and more memory as long as it stays open and it never seems to give the unused amount back. Here's a useful tip to reduce memory usage for an active browser session by forcing garbage collection etc. Unfortunately it only works for Firefox users.

    Not sure how they came up with the word/name "Adalar", but it means "Isles" in Turkish. Isles of Isles? "We call these isles, the Isles of Isles!"... The title alone gives me a headache. https://translate.google.co.uk/?sl=en&tl=tr&text=isles&op=translate

    This must be one of the few things they didn't lie about.

    I find these comparisons super entertaining for some reason. Especially when you recall that around the time GTA V was released, CDPR was claiming that this game was going to offer a "next-gen open world". By the way, CP's retarded shadow animations could easily be used to start a new retarded dance movement, a la Gangnam Style 2077.

    As I say, you can't fix garbage.

    That news article you and everyone else were talking about literally says that some of the CDPR staff reacted angrily at CDPR "management" during an "internal video meeting". Nobody was "bitching at the publisher", which is technically impossible anyway, as they publish their own games. There was no external influence involved in the making of this garbage that you call "compelling". All decisions were made at CDPR, all lies were told by CDPR. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-12-18/cyberpunk-game-maker-faces-hostile-staff-after-failed-launch https://finance.yahoo.com/news/cyberpunk-game-maker-faces-hostile-162505619.html If you were somehow trying to make a distinction between the "decision makers" (e.g. producers, studio leads, designers) and the rest of the overworked staff, which is rather pointless and irrelevant cause nobody blames those people for doing what they were told to do, and you made a rather poor job making that distinction. You immediately start your defense of the game by the same old argument "you haven't played the game" and then try to dismiss the compilations of bugs shown in videos, cause you haven't seen them in your game. The kind of attitude expected from an apologist or a fanboy. Yes, I don't have it and I have not played the game, but I have watched several LPs of it and personally witnessed some of those bugs as I watched, at the same time as the person playing it. The bugs and glitches aren't the only problem with this game. It has major design flaws, which you tried to dismiss in an earlier post as expected from an apologist. In terms of technology it cannot even compete against 10-15 year old games as shown in dozens of videos. In terms of game play it offers absolutely nothing that hasn't been done before, and better, in the past two decades. Today's "low standards" for good games that you seem to complain about was created by the very people who called garbage games as "compelling" games and I truly regret the time I've wasted discussing video games with them, as if their opinions have any value.

    And CP now goes into Jim's Top Ten Shittiest Games of 2020... What a "compelling" game!
  15. bjornk
    Oh, it's the "publishers" huh? You're a clueless CDPR apologist. It was CDPR who misled the publishers, the investors, as well as the customers and now they're getting their asses sued. Ahahaha... my sides!

    It's amazing to see how some people who were defending FO76 and kept saying "I'm having fun, therefore it's not bad", are now defending this game and shitting on Bethesda. Whatever they are having fun with is, by definition, good and it's only bad when they're no longer having fun with it. It's the kind of egotistical thinking, which is, to me an obvious sign of low IQ.

    Another Korean MMO by the developer who made Black Desert, maybe it's a sequel. Aside from the graphics and detailed open-world, BD is/was garbage. Back at LL I've mentioned a few times about how their engine could nicely support a single-player RPG such as Elder Scrolls or Dragon Age, but only if was made by a well-known Western developer who is still passionate about making good games and sadly, none left. I don't believe anything good can come out of it, especially not when it's a Korean developer in charge of designing the game play, which will most likely be similar to their previous MMO, with dumb AI, dumb kill/fetch quests, flashy unrealistic combat, all sort of exploitative MMO garbage such as in game purchases with P2W items, stupid costumes etc. Personally, I'm not interested.

    Hear ye, hear ye! Here comes the lawsuit... https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/video-games/investor-sues-video-game-studio-over-buggy-cyberpunk-2077-n1252348 https://www.engadget.com/cd-projekt-red-cyberpunk-2077-lawsuit-000527021.html https://www.ign.com/articles/cyberpunk-2077-class-action-lawsuit-filed-against-cd-projekt-sa Don't think I've mentioned this before, but the voice acting for the player character is absolutely disgusting for both genders. While the female one occasionally makes me want to smack her in the mouth, the male one makes me want to blow his head off.

    CDPR might fix some of the game breaking bugs in the game, but most of the game will remain as a broken mess, because what seems to break it are not just bugs, but also design flaws.

    Having one was idiotic in the first place, but having a file size limit doesn't seem like the only problem with their save system. It seems to have a "snowballing" issue, so simply removing the limit may not be enough to fix it. By snowballing I mean, what should be overwritten or recycled seems to stay in the save indefinitely (e.g. items that no longer exist in the game). Someone actually did a bit of an experiment with the ever increasing save size as mentioned in the following video.

    More CP beating, this time from RDR2... In CP, as soon as you commit a crime, the game spawns a bunch of cops around you, what a retarded design. Some fanboys would even defend this I'm sure. What is even more annoying is that cops only react to player actions. In the second video, one of them is kept getting shot by some gang, who are actually shooting at the player, and the cop seems totally fine with that. Absolutely RETARDED. One major problem with RDR2 in these videos is that the player character seems to take way less damage than he's supposed to. I don't know if it's related to the difficulty setting or a cheat is being used (e.g. god mode), but if that's really how it is in the game then it's also retarded.

    What the heck is going on in that shower scene? That upside down motorbike was hilarious. The motorbike without a driver is probably not much of a glitch, cause the game doesn't seem to add drivers to vehicles unless they are really close to the player, which can be seen in the GTA comparison video, and sometimes it's either too slow to add them, or probably forgets to add them completely.

    A 12 year old game beats the shit out of CP. In a lot of ways, it's a perfectly fair comparison.
