Now hear me out, the other day I was wondering in my sleep if champions were real and Rito would remove this "polite" filter in lore so that would make champions feel more real.

For example I am 100% sure that Sett calls his opponents "r*tards" every single time just because it suits him as a character. For the same reason I am sure Draven and Jax would be spitting racist remarks on each second (RPS = racism per second). For no other reason then the fact that it fits their characters. Kled, I will not even mention that one. That mf would be collecting offences and criminal records like Yu-Gi-Oh cards.

Whenever I play league I have certain picture of each champion how would they act in real life.

What do you guys think?

wtf a redditor made a funny shitpost?

yes I'm baked

SHIFT UP's action game Stellar Blade is a day away from release and there's already been some controversy that isn't sexual for a change, as Sony says it will remove in-game artwork that shows ‘hard R' due to unintentional racism.

In Stellar Blade, there's an ‘R Shop' referencing the information broker Roxanne. There's also ‘Hard' graffiti that can be found in numerous parts of the game. However, there's one instance in Stellar Blade where the graffiti and R Shop are shown next to each other, showing what appears to reference a racist slur, which Sony claims was “unintentional.”

Sony provided a statement on the matter:

“The placement of two graphics near each other in Stellar Blade resulted in an unintentional objectionable phrase. Shift Up had no intention of creating offensive artwork and will be replacing the graffiti for the Day 1 patch.”

When asked if there are any plans to remove the art from the physical games as well, a PlayStation representative said that it “Should be removed for all users in the Day 1 update.”

The patch has since gone live and the ‘Hard R' artwork has since been changed to say ‘Crime' instead:

Seethe in the comments:

All of you fricking idiots were warned! But no “It's going to be uncensored”, “It's a based game guys!” Bunch of stupid fricking weebs, weebs are fricking laughing stock.

If you're a weeb, then you're calling yourself a subhuman who has no spine whatsoever.

Where's the lie?

You cope too much cute twink. KEEP YOURSELF SAFE you cuck

Ibought two copies because i have tons of money to spend unlike you, you born poor and will die as poor lmfao enjoy working 7$/hr at fast food

America is a mistake.

The corrupt West deserves to be nuked and obliterated completely.

Eastoids still bussyblasted at a lil' bit of nuke correction.

And the idots were attacking you for stating the truth. This is why weebs are cucks. They live in their own little world like a filthy basement dweller.

!nonchuds I will remind you all that the reason why 4chan stays alive is because Hiro gets paid by research groups who want to study the link between anime and rightoid extremism.

Rightoids are beyond parody

And here's another article whining about Stellar Blade.

It's the usual over virtual cleavage so not gonna' bother with a write up.

While we're talking about Shift Up let me bring up their now dead gacha game Destiny Child. I really liked the OST the game had

Escape From Tarkov is an extraction shooter developed by Russian studio BattleState Games (BSG). It's somehow been in "beta" for 8 years. Players enter a game, find loot or kill players/AI and take their loot, then if they can exit the map they keep the loot.

The game has a weird monetisation model. The developers promised no microtransactions, no pay 2 win, the usual stuff that makes gaymers smile. Instead the base edition is $50, going all the way up to the Edge of Darkness edition at something like $150. What do you get for that? Basically extra space to store items between games and a season pass for all future DLC.

A few months ago BSG stopped selling Edge of Darkness and suggested they'd offer the features to other players as microtransactions instead. G*mers were less than pleased, but it all blew over in a few weeks.

Arena

Meanwhile, BSG released a seperate standalone game called Arena, which is basically a Team Deathmatch mode for Tarkov aimed at being an esport. Like most "esports ready" slop it flopped, probably because Tarkov doesn't do balance. There are good guns and shit guns, it's ultra realistic. Guy with the better gun and better bullets always wins.

So, 8 years after initial release BSG dump their money into a new, failed game. It's given out for free to Edge of Darkness owners as a "DLC" but still fails. People suspect that this might mean that BSG is running out of money.

PvE

Perhaps the biggest thing the players want is a non-PVP mode. A big part of this is because the game is hard and most players suck, but to be fair Tarkov also has a massive cheater problem.

I mean massive btw, cheaters can see every item in each game. If you enter a raid carrying good gear, the 3-5 cheaters in each map will immediately charge you down for it without fail. BSG supposedly bans these players but does little to stop it, probably because most cheaters sell rare items for real world cash and use the profits to buy a new copy every week. That said, it's been worse in the past. There were times when cheaters could just teleport all the loot in the game straight to them. Fun.

So naturally, players really want to get away from the cheating and play offline. BSG insists it's not possible, although somehow modders were able to reverse-engineer things and create their own Single Player Tarkov (SPT) mod. Someone is lying there, I can't tell who.

Unheard Edition

This week BSG announced a new edition of Escape from Tarkov - Unheard Edition. In this you get all the Edge of Darkness features plus a special knife, woo.

Just kidding, alongside the knife you also get a character with bigger pockets to carry more stuff in game, extra gear and a bunch of other utilities. Naturally gaymers are mad about these more blatant Pay 2 Win features. It's not too bad though, right?

To sweeten the deal these paypigs also get access to a new coop pve mode. Yay! The devs insist that this isn't DLC, but a unique game mode. Edge of Darkness players don't get it.

Oh, and they get a special item which makes the AI not shoot at them.

The best part? The new edition costs

$250

Cue rage.

Drama

The Reddit jannies open the flood gates and promise to be less neurodivergent than usual. Just don't use naughty words.

The devs have been caught repeatedly editing the website to remove promises they just broke. At this point you can just look at /r/escapefromtarkov and see a dozen threads full of seethe.

Highlights:

Big seethe thread

Lawsuits incoming

The devs give in and offer Edge of Darkness owners a 6 month trial of PvE mode. Redditors even madder.

The lead developer gives an interview where he shits on all the complainers, apparently "True Believers" will buy the new version.

Oh, and you know how Edge of Darkness players got a "season pass" for DLC?

"No dlc planned"

This is ongoing. Will BSG give in or let it all blow over? Only time will tell.

Update

BSG studio head doubles down again. PvE for Edge of Darkness will come later, for now you're paying for a preview before full release. They're also going to offer a 50% discount on upgrades for top tier paypigs. Oh, and if you already paid full price you can have a second game key for the shit-tier edition, but you're not allowed to sell that.

Redditors are still mad

Thanks

Niru is a very famous MapleStory streamer who became the first person to ever reach 299 lvl. Ever since then a huge amount of people in the community have been watching his streams and waiting for him to get to lvl 300, even the devs were watching him. In his final stream, he managed to get 299 99.99% and immediately logged off the game and started shit-talking the devs right in front of 20k viewers on Twitch

What's even funnier is the fact that the official Maplestory account on Twitter had already made a tweet congratulating him

https://x.com/MapleStory/status/1783562860108316936

The devs even promoted the stream through in-game banner but when he started ranting the banner instantly disappeared

Ryu ga gotoku games own hard and the latest owns extremely hard. Go get it

All my prompts had "dark skin" in to be fair but I forgot about aggressively wrestling the ai with things like "Nigerian, African" to actually make it do dark skin

!g*mers

There was no way we could fit the whole map of gta3 in PS2 memory. Streaming involves loading models from the DVD as the player moves around. This was the hardest technical challenge during the development of gta3 and was coded by Adam Fowler.

I thought that was pretty neat. Also a Burnout 3 dev showed up ( )

After careful consideration over the last year, we at Blizzard have made the decision not to hold BlizzCon in 2024. This decision was not made lightly as BlizzCon remains a very special event for all of us, and we know many of you look forward to it. While we're approaching this year differently and as we have explored different event formats in the past, rest assured that we are just as excited as ever to bring BlizzCon back in future years.

Over the next few months, we'll be sharing more details about our launches coming later this year, including World of Warcraft: The War Within and Diablo IV's first expansion, Vessel of Hatred. To celebrate these upcoming releases and to bring our communities together in new and special ways, we will soon share some exciting plans for other industry trade shows and conventions like Gamescom. We can't wait to tell you more about those plans soon. We're also looking forward to the Overwatch Champions Series' stops at both Dreamhack Dallas and Dreamhack Stockholm. And we're thrilled to be planning multiple, global, in-person events to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Warcraft, which will be held in addition to the in-game celebrations across our Warcraft games throughout 2024. While these events are distinct from BlizzCon, we're harnessing all of our creativity and imagination to ensure that they carry the same spirit of celebration and togetherness.

Our hope is that these experiences – alongside several live-streamed industry events where we'll keep you up to date with what's happening in our game universes – will capture the essence of what makes the Blizzard community so special.

No matter how you choose to connect with us at these events this year – whether it be in person or virtually – we can't wait to see you there!

My guess that it's a combination of low interest, having nothing to show, and microsoft not liking live events, even though it's the 20th anniversary of WoW. I haven't been excited for a Blizzard release since Overwatch anyway.

R*ddit and 4chuds imploding with righteous anger, this is the LAST STRAW!!!! Surely the most addicted among them will not simply buy the new package

More discussion in this thread

With very little research, a lot of people are blaming an Aaron Peters, someone who has supposedly been filing false DMCAs for sport for years. One of the affected copyright infringers did a deep dive.

The major consensus is that Garry fell for a ruse, but who knows

Who dunnit

I even forgot that dlc existed but I doubt it would be great, from software souls games dlcs were all meh (I played all of them)

But to me personally Elden ring was meh game that I didn't played much it didn't hook me like sakiro or dark souls 3. Lies of P was more interesting to me that Elden Ring
