  1. This is the first time they had a very major reaction to the fans reactions to their game. They almost came short of shutting down Montreal location. That is a major change. They currently see it as the location causing the issue and not themselves though. Not their policies just poor quality control at that location and leadership sucked. Not because of the SJW etc. However, many articles and such are coming out and many references to how catering to SJW is causing the bottom line to drop are getting more and more common. These are things that they being business people will see and review, seriously.  Hopefully, they will consider them very seriously and make some serious changes on their formula with regards to this. However, how much of a change likely will be very little. MEA was one game. They are still patting themselves on the back for other games that they released so even though this is a slap in the face, they'd likely just take it as the fans didn't want a new Mass Effect game and shut that IP down. Too costly to continue. So we are very likely to never get another ME game again.

    What will likely have to happen is another major upset like what happened to the ME game on another game (next release) and perhaps 2 or 3 more times before they get their act  straight. I believe they would survive this at that point. They will be really hurt but they have butloads of cash etc. so they will likely be able to fair that happening. As I understand it, MEA did make them a profit or at least they came close to breaking even. It didn't however make the$$$$ that they expected (and really should have made so they weren't far from that. Had they not fucked up everything they would be rolling in the $$$ with people yelling "Take my Money". )

    The Quarian DLC/expansion/whatever is officially dead in the water.

    It's really sad what happened to Mass Effect but the devs who made the games great no longer work for Bioware/EA so what was being put out really wasn't 'Mass Effect' anyway.  That's my opinion anyway.  I'm glad I didn't buy or play Andromeda.  EA's version of Bioware destroyed the franchise, but I have fond memories of Shepard, Jack, Liara, Rhex, Edi and Joker...everyone really.  Also glad those memories didn't get tainted.

    I wish CDProjektRed would buy the ME franchise. :D

    I hope not...

    I would loose my job if it did happen ;)

    And buy TES and FO franchise. At least CDProjekt Red have the skills to actually do voice protagonists the proper way. I still don't play W3, but right now, CDProjekt Red is the only company I'm looking at for RPGs. I hope Cyberpunk 2077 lives up to everyone's expectations.

    They do everything much more "proper way" than the current games that are being released. I hope this continues. I hope they continue to remember the fans and deliver quality packed, well written games well into the future. Doubt other game companies will do this.

     

    I also hope the Cyberpunk 2077 is able to live up to everyone's expectation. I say that because CD Red does have some serious competiti0on... themselves. ;) Which might be the hardest to beat. I hope it meets at least the same quality as WIII and I will be happy. Also there are some hints in WIII that someone from that game might be present in Cyberpunk 2077 or at least referenced. That is just so cool in itself. Same EA/MEA doesn't have the basic storytelling skills and tech ability to give just the basic solid well built game. Nobody is asking for a classic just solid, reliable game with some decent story. Nothing that hasn't been done before. just the basic shit. So sad that they can't even do that.

    OFF TOPIC ^_^

    Aside from a few bugs TW3 is a great fucking game.  I think the reason some people don't like it is due to the difficulty.  It is a high risk and low reward game, there isn't any sort of opponent leveling (walk in to the wrong fight at the wrong time and you'll die), the combat doesn't involve spamming buttons until you win.  There's all of that and the story is really raw, and the world is realistically offensive just like I imagine a war-torn Medieval society would be.

    And there's going to be a Witcher TV series on Netflix!  Andrzej Sapkowski (the author of the books) is going to be a creative consultant and some of the scene directors from the game will be directing episodes.  No idea who's going to star in it but I hope they don't cram it full of Hollywood Millennials who can't act.  I HOPE it is a European production like Vikings or Game of Thrones.

    yes, there have been some that some here might know that has stated the very thing you have. It is a hard game. there isn't a "proper leveling" of the character for the NPCs. If you decide to run head into NPC and stories that are many levels above you... you can. There is such a freedom to that I never thought possible. At first I didn't like that but then started to realize it is really perfect if you pay attention. If you accidentally run across someone to high you do have a chance to ride off out of danger, (retreat) or fight. There are actual strategies that you can develop to beat these higher level, harder (hard as shit) characters using spells, timing hits, potions, and dogging. (a fucking lot of dogging ;)) and you can beat someone 2x above your character and really the sky's the limit.

    Seriously, people have "hardcore" mode and love it... WTF is the matter with not having proper NPC leveling? That doesn't make sense to me now that I understand what is going on in the game. The game is rich and deep in both the game play and the characters. The fit and finish is so good you could stand there and count the lashing an NPC gets. Leave the cell and come back (before the lashing should be done) and continue to count... and realize the timing of the time you weren't able to hear.. matches about the time that the lashes should have taken place... WOW.

    This is a game that you can replay, over and over and over again and still find a way to challenge yourself even if it is taking on higher and higher level contracts well above your current level. Then when you are board of that... raise your difficulty level. :) Rinse and repeat.

    I repeated the game. (don't remember how many hours I played those first few areas) until I was able to go in with level 2 and beat level 8~10 NPCs. Tall about challenge. I had a save that I jumped off of to do just that. here is the interesting part. So long as I timed it perfectly and used the tricks (potions, spells ) perfectly they dropped like flys... If I glitched out and missed my step.. and they hit me... I was near death or out right killed. One hit death at that level. Now that is a CHALLENGE... hardcore... kiss my ass... lol

    Needlessly to say I really enjoyed myself with the game. I need to go back but I wont play it until I have a lot of time to truly keep the story going and not start. stop. The game is HUGE and that is the only real drawback to the game. You want to complete it fully to the point you are done with it or start over if you didn't.

     

  3. Discord has its advantages. It is a major player and many people that game and such have an account. They could access NSFWmods.com discord along with all the other chats that they are following at the same time.

    Currently with the inactivity of the chat that we had, I'd say wait until the Discord plugin has gotten out of Beta before deciding or not deciding to include it as a service you want part of the site.

  4. Not sure if it was on my end or on withthe system.

    First the message system was very, very laggy then the entire site went down (500 error). Just giving some feedback in case others experienced the same thing. I think it was my net that was flaking out. Downloading tOOO much for several days lol. (restoring my computer and getting fresh games from Steam and Orgin. WitcherIII is HUGE for example :P)

     

    Everything is nice and snappy now, or as snappy as it was before now.

  5. Also if I am not mistaken changing the mouse settings from the mouse would be easier and more convenient than clicking here and there to get to the mouse settings menu in Windows. That solution in my opinion would be something to consider if it was a more permanent change as changes to accommodate a game.

    Not sure if it is only on my end but the page loading /entrance is quite time consuming. Nothing horrible but even LL has a faster load time to enter. sometimes the pages take a bit longer to load as well.

     I haven't said anything but with the recent issues and slowdowns I thought I should at least give a heads up in case it is something that is experienced by many here and might be something that could later cause serious problems. :) Otherwise I have no issues with the slowness. It is all good. :)

    i had that same problem too, sometime in the past months...  but since as you too found out, log out/log in solved the problem, never reported it...  maybe i should have...

    If you are having problems by all means post it here or let someone know. It might be something on your end or might be something on ours. Let us know as there might be many others that haven't said anything we have 20000 + members now. I am sure if someone is having a problem... there is someone else that has that problem or something similar. Worst case... perhaps we could make a tutorial to fix it. (flush DNS, clear Temp folder, etc)

  8. Bioshock 1 & 2, didn't get a round to play the third version.

    Played Oblivion, but didn't get hooked as others, Played Fallout 3 extensively and then later Fallout NV and even a few passes on Fallout 4. (didn't really enjoy it as much. Sad there isn't as many modding tools to make it great. The base game is boring.  The previous Fallout games (3 and NV ) I played quite a bit before I even added any mods.

    I played and liked the original KTOR and KTOR II quite a bit. 

    Really liked the ME series 1 through 3 however MEA is very bad even if you discount the graphics and glitches (they are working with a new engine this time) the stories and character development doesn't seem as well developed or polished. Sad... I was really looking forward to this game. At the time I got the game I ddin't realize Bethesda was behind creating the game. I only saw EA. Based on the decline of Bethesda games the past few years... I wouldn't have gotten it. Everybody bitches about the glitches and animations. That can be fixed with a bit of effort. What can't be fixed is the major story lines and quest and such, well not very easily. 

    Witcher III the first one of the series that I played from CK Projet Red. I was blown away. First frustrated to no end. It is HARD game, a very HARD game. Even on easy I was having my ass handed to me. If you are used to Bethesda type of game play where you are a tank and "hero" and such then you will be very disappointed. CK Project Red doesn't take it easy on you. No "freebiees" or "I'm Special" players. They give it to you full on from the start.  I went back a few times and gotten better and better and enjoyed it more and more as I learned the game and how to play. Timing the hits and such. (rare not to have a button masher or a "Vats" or "Bullet time" to make the game easier on the player. However once I really got the idea and started doing well I took on characters (early levels ) as much as 2x time my level. If I missed a chance or fucked up... I was dead. Some of the encounters ended being one hit kills at the levels I was taking on. My hand never gotten so cramped or I never gotten so jumpy on a video game in my life.

    If you are someone that will bitch about running into a 30th level creature or NPC when you are only 7~10 level and get your ass handed to you because you decided you were a "hero" then this game isn't for you. If you want to have challenges and surprises which actually matter and have a risk that you could be killed. then this game is for you.

    Tried the previous versions but couldn't get used to the keymapping and gameplay and stopped to play another game. Might return to them. However, looking at the previous versions Witcher 1 and 2 you can see why people are so impressed with CD Project Red as they are growing exponentially with their tech, texture and game in general. 

     

  9. I don't mod Oblivion and only played it a slight bit.

    However the ONLY mod I know that comes close is LoversPK.

    http://www.loverslab.com/forum/15-lovers-with-pk/

    different site. LoversLab. It is a system which means you will have a shit ton of mods to install over your system to make anything work. There are some there that understand what to do to get it to work. Hopefully, you don't have too much trouble. Just keep notes on what you have done, a nice backup of all the work you have done and cross your fingers.. :P

  10. Sorry, I don't believe she will be active and updating that or other tutorials soon.

    You will likely have to do it the "old school" way. That is trial and error until you get something awesome.

    If you do, you are more than welcome to come back and post your experiences and preferences, load orders and other useful info.

  11. Cool. It would be great to have the ability to upload over 100mb files.

    So far it seems as if the very large (larger than a typical screen capture) isn't working well. It does work somewhat but chokes. However in reality there is no need for SLR super sized photos to be uploaded. 2k captures work fine. (I don't have a 4k monitor)

  12. So far all works well. How large are you talking about? If it is a photo perhaps try downloading an extremely large one from google?

    Tested it myself. It just froze for a very long time even after the first part which is the upload part. Of course, this is insane size >70mp. ;)

    I have attached those test photos. One if of Snoop dog and the other is Deadpool. Both pretty cool photos. :P Likely original source or close to it.
