  1. There are always swings in society. With Chappelle's show and the fact that it was a success, might show that now is the time for those that want to make such materials to come out in force.
  2. Many famous and critically acclaimed movies wouldn't be able to be produced in today politically correct world.
  3. It isn't cringe for me. It is just a shit show. Pages of pages of the same shit. It was put there to attract post and outrage. Seriously, even if you are stupid as fuck as to what to say or do in x situation (in this case a Trans) if they are offended.. you stop if you didn't want to offend.. Apologize if necessary. Most trans are quite tolerant to those that aren't intending offense. Shemales don't find it offensive if they are in the industry because that is what they are called. They use that to attract those that are interested in someone with a Dick that isn't a "male". Think of it as a porn "Trigger Word" for masturbation in those interested in that. Shemale, Ladyboy and others are $$$$$$$ for them. As for Trolling.. just create an account using a proxy. done. But honestly... It is just a shit show. At least from my point of view. OH.. and FML.. .I finally seen a sign posted on an outside of a business that said "get woke" on the bottom of the sign. (one of those like out side of a Gas Station, Burger king etc. Where you can combine the letters etc. It isn't even worth reading... Just a waste of internet space. 5 minutes I will never be able to get back

    I don't think I seen them. I thought I seen all the vampire and such movies! I guess not Hey, if you or someone else reading this knows of some great Hammer ones.. perhaps post them on the Movie thread!

    Not sure I seen any "hammer' vampire show. I'll have to check into it.
  6. They publicly stated that they wern't going "DLCs" but expansions.. As I understand it. If that is the case.. the "Expansion" will be stuff that should be included in the original game. Just like other companies are doing. Short changing the consumer and then adding content later. Now... if they do like they did with Witcher and give that to those that bought the game for free. Then they haven't went all the way to the Bethesda/EA dark side yet. I can't tell you how interested I was in this game. Now how disappointed I am in what they are trying to do.
  7. They had YEARS to develop this game. YEARS!!!! The game (pen and paper) has these classes.. it NEEDS to be in the game. There is no reason for it to be out... unless they are trying to do what other companies now do. Sell an expansion. Remember the comment "Reasonably Priced Expansions" however, it should have been part of the game to begin with unlike Witcher's additions Lets wait and see if they do that. Previously I would have stated that they are still working on the game, and still have some time to work out some of those added classes and might possibly add them. however, with them fucking around and changing shit that isn't necessary they won't have the time to do this now.
  8. I was with them on their choice of third vs first person. It is something many companies have to choose to do early on. Nothing unusual. However, allowing harassment of the fans that are voicing a desire for one or the other is quite another thing. Perhaps that is /was an early warning sign of things to come. One thing this should prove beyond a doubt for those that wanted this game to be great and now think "?" and not so sure to positive that it is crap for them, is one of the most awarded game companies can change drastically on their products /releases and pre-purchasing anything from them is a great risk. A risk that isn't deserved regardless of how long in the past they were great for you with their previous releases. There isn't any honor or adherence to the previous formula or loyal fans to give them what they have wanted and desired. The companies, EA, Bethesda, CD Project Red, isn't looking at that, sadly enough, they are looking at trying to formulate where they can get the best bang for the buck, fuck their fans, their loyal customers and consumers. What is really sad.. is they (CD Project Red) will win all the awards that they did before. They WILL BE PRAISED for their work on this game. They will make more $$$ than most any other game company. With the Hype.. I don't see them crashing on releasing this game. They won't release it with the piss poor quality that Bioware did with MEA or Bethesda did with Fallout 76. It will be polished as much as possible. With the bar being set so low now from other gaming companies.. people will praise them for doing their fucking jobs and releasing a quality final product that is fairly polished. The situation with gaming and releases is so piss poor now (not including Indy or small gaming companies)
  9. Na... Alien sperm... True Story! LOL
  10. It is still good to see you flex your modding muscles once in a while on a project regardless of the reasons.
  11. Nobody is complaining about Saints Row 2 presets. There is still MALE and FEMALE which you can alter to what you desired. The developers didn't try to remove things in a political way.. they added options that some might find appealing for the customization. This isn't what is happening at CD Project red. CDProject RED is trying to be political by removing all mention of the word. (trigger for SJW) The only thing they didn't do is put the word "They" in its place during character development. I am a HUGE fan of Witcher III and only wanted the best from the newest project but I have to agree with the concerns of people that CD Project Red will add more and more SJW content / features into the game that isn't necessary, that isn't required. Forced into the system. Now thinking back to Witcher, It is entirely possible that they would have done something similar if they didn't have the main character so firmly rooted into literature. Now with more freedom with their story (giving us more freedom) they can start to develop and do things they could only dream of back when working on Witcher. The more that is happening with Cyber PUnk makes me think more and more about how much of that content was in Witcher and how unlikely some of that would ever have become public in a middle age if trying to be somewhat realistic. It is making me think about my fandom of Witcher now. Possible reconsideration?
  12. See you are still working .. . This is Great ! !!!
  13. I love how she blames the Porn industry for destroying her relationship with her family. She can't take any responsibility for her own actions. SHE chose to do that job with the very likely knowledge that her family wouldn't accept it or her for doing such a thing. People love blaming others for their plight in the world... can't take responsibility for their own actions.
  14. It is more likely they are thinking that nobody will continue to show them up
  15. They just remove the name male and female from the game? WTF.. Wow. The more and more I see the game, the more and more it looks like they are taking steps backwards in what they are producing.
  16. This was the last possible game I would have considered preordering. Fucking glad I didn't! Yes, shitty. They aren't being inclusive.. they are removing other options. If they had say Male Female, custom.. with that being able to pick and choose what you wanted... that would have been cool. It would have worked out as there would be some that after playing through a few times would choose that to change things up and explore that option. Those that want to be "They" (non gendered so someone told me was the term.. at least around where I live. Met two "people" that "identify" as "They". That is just confusing as fuck but I don't care. I am perfectly fine with letting them be "They" if they so choose to be but I am not going to fork out premium $$$ to play a game that removed the standard options. I believe I read somewhere that they (CD Project Red) sated that they wouldn't use him again. (perhaps a camio but that is about it) and instead would be using the Witcher world instead. Even if this is the case, that world has clear Male and Female roles. There is an option (cross dressing elf) and other alternate lifestyles that they could introduce into the game as options if they decided to open up the character to this, but I can't see them being able to pull that off on this as easily as they can with 2077 The author is trying to sue for the money and such but I believe based on my reading he has shit to stand on. Nothing, zero, zilch.. his rights are fucked for a few thousand dollars. He'd be able to bitch as much as he wanted to.. some might listen to his bitching but I can't see how he could do shit about it. The lore does have various degrees of genders and gender neutral. I know someone that loved the game back when ti came out years ago (pen and paper) knows a lot about the game and still has it. The issue isn't the fact that someone could select such options.. the issue IMO is they (CDProject Red) decided to remove the mainstream options and force players to do this. the game itself no.. but the game has such materials in it. Also the current game has this content in it. Remember the blow up about a trans showing a boner in a advertisement from one of the demos? I agree this is just them trying to push an agenda. Making excuses... instead of creating a great game. It wouldn't hurt them one bit to have traditional Male and female options along side with whatever other options they had. Not one bit. Their (CDProject Red) true colors are starting to show. If they push this shit hard, as I think they will.. I hope so very much experience a crash and burn with their game as a result. It is so sad that they did such a good job with balancing things with alternate options in Witcher (for the most part) that now they are going full steam in the opp site direction. I really hope I am wrong but seriously doubt I am
  17. Well.. they very likely lost my purchase. That is an incredibly huge red flag. They will have to do a metric shit ton of work to prove to me that this game isn't just a SJW centered game. I don't care how popular the game is or how great the game play is.. I won't buy shit like that. If this is the case, it is possible that one of the most anticipated games of the last 10 years will be one of the biggest flops. Well they are due for a failure.. they have been too successful thus far. I have no problem with inclusion and adding an option to be gender less or alternate gendered. That is reasonable. Excluding and/or removing the option for traditional Male and Female options.. No. I can't see how that would work in any reasonable way. (Making the character a generic name ... V is the smart way that I would expect a company to name their main character that could be essentially anything) If this is their path.. then perhaps they should wait until 2077 to release their game.
  18. I really enjoy some of those simple games created by a small team. They are great and fun. I encourage many of them in the past. However, yes, they can't compete with some studio with all those resources. They still do great work with what they have. I enjoy their works far more (in general ) than any commercially created project. even if there are some problems here and there due to the nature of the project. Often there so creative and interesting with their approach that that alone is worth the price of admission as they say. One could hope those upgrades and concepts would be implemented as the computers get stronger and stronger and more and more capable AI can be created. One could hope but currently I am of the same mindset that this is very unlikely to ever happen even if the computers and other tech is available. On this I tend to agree with you. It is so sad. if you asked me 10 ~15 years ago I would have strongly believed this time period would have ushered in a new renaissance in gaming. I was sure I had years of terrific games to look forward to. My current self is crushed by the fact that companies have decided to go they way they have.
  19. People have. There is one on LL.. right now. It is a sex sim but still it is a game someone made. Indy games do this as well. They have difficulty getting all the ducks in a row so to speak but they are making them. There are many that are making games now. I know a group that is working on a game right this minute. Not a RPG but still they are working on it. I believe they have 12 people in their group yes. I agree. Keep in mind the ideas being tossed about are generally well known request and desires of those that are interested in RPGs. This is something a company should want to include to attract these individuals. However, what do I know, apparently it is the new norm to fuck over your fans and give them shit (looking at you EA, Bethesda etc) So maybe I am wrong
  20. they would have been better to create a game with less story say, only a few good NPCs. Like some traders, Faction leaders and such. Leave the main story arc to the community. Create the tools to mod the game and release it at the same time as the game. The money they saved used to improve some of the tools (just a part of the cost to develop all that shit that people complain about. If they have any time left... improve the fight mechanism, and Sim tools. They practically are just creating a world.. no story, nothing really interesting. they might as well create a sandbox where people can do what they want. When I heard about Fallout 76 being Online and being Multiplayer without any "NPCs" I thought they were going to do it. But alas .. I gave them too much credit.
  21. I believe Oblivion had a few itself. Similar to Skyrim. Vampyr had a few type B but it was less in my opinion than Skyrim and more along the kind of Mass Effect in quality. Mostly noises (response from the monster to let you know it was around, about to attack etc) and a few comments from the Hunters etc. There were some NPC setups that were there to advance your introduction, (NPC interactions) but they were scripted for the game not random interactions. Not sure if that qualifies in your list. (someone was attacked) I only briefly played Metro ... and it had some NPC interactions with each others. Most are scripted and most become quite annoying with the repeated events. I don't know of any that reach the level that you are talking about @bjornk
  22. I believe a nice title would be "Various Interaction Types in an RPG Game".. Doesn't really matter what you call it. It is all good. I would personally put the environmental interactions with the player into a category of C. personally. No reason or evidence just seems a bit more logical in my mind. The other two have NPC interactions in them. I do seen and understand the reason I believe you put them together though. I remember type 2 in Mass Effect I.. "I will destroy you!" being constantly screamed in the same voice during combat with Biotics... There are other examples in other games that have just annoyed me all to hell. The same when Type 1 happens with the player character. When they repeat the same thing over in reaction to an event that occurred. I really wish they'd (the developers) would add a few more different lines to the game. I understand older games had space constraints but now with most being downloaded... a few more bits isn't going to hurt if it helps the game feel more alive. That is the holy grail in my opinion of what a true RPG game is. The game could even be a bit liner if it provided this. One of the worst offenders in this is Fallout 4. (out of the games I played) give you the title of General but you are the grunt going out risking your life to do task that he should have done.. this is my opinion of course. I always have that in the back of my mind. I would love having plenty of B type interactions in CP2077. However, it depends on the game and what is offered. If it is on par with Witcher level of story and NPC development and such.. it might be OK to be the errand boy/girl IMO however, if they (CD Project RED) seem to start slipping .. then perhaps not or at least not until it is very cheap. TBH.. I was excited for that game and happy Keneu decided to join the project. However, with some of the interviews it appears that we will have someone talking in our ear telling us the quest and such, guiding us the entire way. This dumb down will be disappointing if it does come to pass.
  23. A little necro ... however, I seen it on EA and have a pass so I tried it. Not bad however not Witcher (haven't played the other games) There are some glitches that occur but not any beyond what I would expect a finished game (that has had time to be patched) would have. I haven't been able to replicate it. One thing that annoyed me (due to my being lazy and used to being spoon fed with today's modern games) is the game gets you near the location, but doens't tell you exactly where what you are looking for and in many case it was hard to find the quest item or NPC due to the game design. Made you really look. Also they actually have a "Story Mode' which is setup to play and explore and harder modes (which at least not will kill me very shortly) There is a slight learning curve to figure out how to do things (not sure if I like the keyboard mapping) but lord do they have conversations. It is interesting in that it doesn't require you to protect much, (you can kill anyone) but has some protections cleverly part of the game. You have to gain a skill level to be able to kill some of the people. once you reach that level.. you can "feed" Doen't matter how important that NPC might be. There are also serious changes when you kill someone depending on their importance in the game. (some .. most of which you might not even realize) as that status of the area drops... it starts to get bat shit crazy with attacks and other combats... (but when you "feed" .. they call it embrace, you gain XP which gives you more options for character upgrade.. ) So far I am playing a goodish person. Killed 2 for upgrades as carefully as possible. (needed the XP ) the game rewards you for good or bad acts. Not sure about the repeatability of the game. The Roll play is getting on my nerves.. searching out and having leghty conversations with everybody for the next quest.. Update.. Not sure if it has repeatability but it does have a very unusual and creative ending. Not quite a witcher but not half bad. (not worth full price though IMO)
  24. It's not fallout?
  25. True... I use a butcher's block that is quite large recovered from a counter or something. (I found it tossed out) (another one larger is used for my desk top.. lol) I prefer to use some thick cardboard cut from a box (not the motherboard) to place my motherboard and such on. Most of the time if I am not in a hurry. I am reluctant to advise people to use that solution as people aren't always good about understanding what is "non-conductive" . I have learned not to be surprised by the things that some people think and / or do. It is hard to go wrong advising someone new to use a proper mat. Of course if someone is showing some level of competence.. then you can forgo the mat advise. Just make sure they are aware to be following anti static precautions. (which especially include the person building the computer. )
