    THE CRINGE-WORTHY INTERNET THREAD

    CPU is the one that I really dislike and make fun of when I say 'muh feelings' because ever since he became a moderator, shortly after he started with his BS on deleting and editing comments that he found offensive. If it wasn't that it was locking a thread. I can't count how many times he did it to me and I was getting fed up with it. The FO4 fanboys would all run to superman CPU to hide behind because I made fun of Fallout 4 or Bethesda.

    ^ This proves my point. And it's funny he's trying to back pedal and call someone a troll because his bullshit was called out. And clearly when he types "keep the tone down" it's because words offend him. Even if they aren't even hurtful.

    I used to like him when he was a contributor. The moment he turned into a moderator authoritarian I lost respect for him.

    His true colors are showing in his own thread. And I'm having a great laugh about it.

    He's unable to realize that an adult forum isn't a kindergarten and deleting people's posts and locking threads, either for trivial reasons or for no reason at all, are both extremely disrespectful to the people who actively participate on the forum in a meaningful way. I believe he's just an example for how even a trivial power over others corrupts and gets abused. It's funny how he keeps mentioning how he pays for things from his pocket, one might think that's how he got the purple title...

    Yes, CPU is the worst, but he's not alone. Most mods there act very biased. They ignore things when they want to, or when it's convenient, even if something is quite literally against the rules. The last time I posted there I was given a "permanent warning" by DoctaSax for using a phrase something like "hey, don't insult our intelligence" when replying a guy claiming that "none of us knows what Creation Club is". Apparently this was enough of an "insult" that deserved a permanent warning! He's just milder version of CPU, literally a Bethesda fanboy who tries to silence everyone who speaks badly about them and once he dislikes you enough, he pays particular attention to your posts and looks for things he can abuse, the guy quite literally bears a grudge against people he doesn't like.

    gregathit is also pretty much a "trigger happy" moderator who likes to lock threads. He's once given me a warning for using the word "retard" and completely ignored the series of posts that lead to that. I never insult people for no reason, unless they insult me first and that was such a case, I may have deserved a warning for that, but I'm not sure the person who insulted me first received any warning, and I doubt he or she had.

    I haven't had any problem with other moderators, just these three.

    PS. Kendo's post sums things up pretty well.👍

    Edit: Our little rant about LL moderation might be breaching the "no external conflicts" rule, just saying... 😋

    Plastic Love (or do you think Youtube recommendations have a hidden agenda?)

    I'm starting to think there is one... I mean, either that or they have a really persistent bug with their system, because it keeps recommending this Japanese pop song, even though I never listen to any Japanese pop songs, never randomly click on anything related to Japanese music. And I'm not the only one, just read the comments on the page, "always click on plastic love when it is recommended", "youtube recommendation girl", "Lmao who else was recommended to come here by YouTube??"... YT's been recommending this song for some reason for about a year and on several different machines, whenever I start to watch a string of music videos. Maybe this Mariya Takeuchi person knows someone at YT? 🤔

    Spoiler

     

    I bet this will soon become a meme of some kind, like "rickrolling"...

    Good job Bethesda.

    I think when the switch to "game streaming" is complete (starting with the next gen consoles), most devs and publishers, incl. Bethesda, will either stop supporting mods entirely or will treat them as microtransactions within their games. The age of *free* modding (i.e. no cost, no control) is probably over, except maybe for a few indie titles. Bugridden Bethesda games will still sell millions of copies though... It's just that I won't be playing those or any other game with any kind of DRM and will never pay the full price at launch for any game.

    As if that would change anything... I certainly agree with you about the moderators, but I also think that Ashal himself isn't much different. He was just very rude when I simply pointed out a problem with SexLab (with the proof), which is still there. "Take it to Ashal", they kept saying, if you had a problem with the actions of the mods, yeah, right, he'd probably ban you right away... for creating too much "drama"...

    PS. Not interested in voting, it's a pointless stupid poll and I don't care. I don't like that CPU guy either.

    I'm sure the people at Bethesda hate hearing people praising FNV and recommending it over their Fallout game(s). Bet they would rather bury it along with all its mods if they could. Funny how some people still naively hope for another spinoff from Obsidian.

    I was role playing and did what would have been done at those times. I would have done the same even if I knew what the outcome would be. After this ending (my first play thorough) I investigated the endings among other things ;) and learned what did what (for witcher III of course) It inspired me to do a different play through the next play through as a result... in fact, I haven't even completed the ending that I wanted yet... lol

    You role-play for a while, up until you realize what ending(s) you'll get with your approach and then you stop role-playing and start playing the game either to achieve one particular ending or to see all endings, that's what I'm talking about. I've only finished TW1, but I'm familiar with this stuff from Fallout series. If I were to finish TW3, I'd always try to do whatever necessary to achieve the happiest ending with minimal NPC casualties, even though that would mean that I had to let annoying NPCs live etc. It would definitely affect how I played the game and I honestly wouldn't call it as "role-playing".

    CD Project Red isn't Bethesda and their Mass Effect. They really make changes. When starting the game after a bit you are able to answer some questions about your past and you can make really big changes. Some of which will remove NPCs from the game. Others will make it harder for you to do some quest or get some of the potential allies.

    ME also has all that if you import your save from the previous game.

     Keep in mind the company has massive amount of awards for their Witcher series..

     

    Despite having watched multiple LP's of each, I've only played TW2 and TW3 for about a day or less, but I've completed TW1 and honestly, TW1 could easily go into my top-ten most annoying games ever. :D Both TW2 and TW3 are quality games, despite their flaws, but overall I don't like TW series for multiple (personal) reasons, so unlike TW3 fans they already have in their pocket, CDPR needs to work a bit harder to win me over. :D

    Just had a sudden premonition about CP2077 release date... 2077... 7720... 7/7/20... It's gonna be 7/7/2020... Precisely two years away... Anyone wanna bet? :D

    Actually yes in a way.

    But you know that's not what I meant. :D

     if you fuck up choices you can end up really fucking up the ending. I know, I did :( I fucked it up and didn't get what I wanted for an ending and didn't know why until much later a small choice that I didn't think of early on lead to the ending.

     

    Ugh, no! Having "choices" that leads to different "endings" is a really BAD idea in RP games. Because as soon as you've become aware of that, it WILL have an affect on how you play the game, you'll probably start playing the game to achieve a particular ending or at least you'll always have a nagging thought that something you've done might get you to an ending you don't like etc. I hate predefined endings as that really goes against sandbox gaming.

    Something I also would like to add is that, while having separate dialogue options for male and female characters is always welcome, it's NOT enough. A RP game should also provide a different game play style for each. In other words, genders should almost be treated as different character classes. Only then having two genders represented in the game would make sense... even though it would probably trigger a bunch of feminists...

    Some guy had posted this image on a thread in RPGCodex (obnoxious place BTW) claiming that he never plays as female characters...

    Well, that's his loss really. We've all played as Conans or other badass male characters in games but imagine the RP opportunities that playing as the woman on the ground would give you, when done properly... You'd literally have two games in one...

    As I've said before, it'll probably be like Mass Effect series. You'll be able to choose gender and customize the character but it'll still be "Shepard". You can only be a paragon or renegade Shepard, and the latter doesn't really make sense.

    Dialogue options adapting the way you play is a feature every RPG should have, but a RP game should also provide meaningful changes in the dialogues and different approaches to game play according to the gender of the PC, otherwise choosing a gender would only be a cosmetic change that we can live without.

    I've done three full play-throughs of Witcher3; Geralt the Good Guy, Geralt the Asshole, and Just Geralt.

    B...but can you play as a slutty Geralt? :D Seriously though, those aren't all that different than say, Mass Effect. While it's certainly better to have a game reacting to your choices, the choices you're given are still limited and if/when one of those choices makes the most sense, doing another playthrough just to see how the game will react is kind of pointless, because in the end you'd probably pick the one which makes the most sense to you. And it's all because you're playing as an already established character who is in a situation he/she cannot escape (Shepard, Geralt etc.). Take ME for instance, doing a renegade playthrough makes you feel out of character because Shepard is supposed unite the galaxy against a common thread and being an asshole to people never helps his/her cause.

    In Skyrim, you either do something or you don't, the game never cares about your choices or how your character feels about things and it doesn't even have any facilities to track your in game choices either, you've either done a particular quest or you haven't, and you can always go back and do it if you haven't. It is a very stupid game and most things in it makes no sense at all.

    Like many other people, I was on the hype train until people started talking about the game is played in "1st person view only", except cutscenes. Now, I might be able to get over the fact that "V" has already an established personality, but a "1st person only" game-play in an RPG is unacceptable for me.

    I know some people think it's more "immersive" that way, but it's the opposite for me. Seeing the character I play interacting with the game world is what makes a role-playing game immersive for me. That's the reason I really appreciate features like headtracking for player character in games like Skyrim. I only use 1st person view for convenience when "sniping" things etc. In other games, such as shooters, FPV doesn't matter all that much, as I can pretend that I play it as "myself", but in RPGs, I don't need or want to see the game world "through my own eyes", as I don't play them as "me".

    I know people who've seen the demo keep saying that FPV makes sense and indeed, CP2077 may turn out to be a great game, but there are many other "great games" that I don't care about and this is probably going to be one of those...

    Yeah, that's creepy as fuck.

    And that happened within the first few minutes after creating the character and started playing and then things got worse... There are a lot of creeps playing that game. :) Some games attract the most obnoxious people for some reason...

    In one of the E3 interviews Todd Howard says that you'll always see other players no matter what. If there's no PVP or the game has a level restricted PVP, then it means there will be unkillable players trolling other people. In other words, you'll be stalked by 12-year olds or worse, while you try to build your base or whatever you're supposed to doing... Can you imagine? And then they will introduce a player blocking feature which will make the blocked users invisible and so on... Typical incompetent developer that we all HATE... :D

    I also won't ever buy a Bethesda game again, not because they are incompetent, but because they are people with a really fucked up morals...

    BTW, I've played FOnline Reloaded for quite a while, so I know how playing an online Fallout game feels like... And good luck playing it with a female character... "Hey, are you a real girl?"... "Of course, I'm a real G.I.R.L."... "Why don't you come to my tent? I want to show you something!"... "Err.. right, maybe later..."
