What's sad is that this will probably be a show with forced 'equity' - the Vault Dwellers will be bad and privileged because they get the Vaults, while the people on the surface who have to suffer are good and relatable. Watch. They'll make Fallout woke. I promise you.β¦

I am predicting they're gonna do what they did with Napoleon and make a fun series into stupidly forced modern American political commentary.
buddy have you ever played a fallout game?
Yes. I've played all of them. No, the Fallout games were not a modern American political commentary - touching on themes isn't the same thing at all. I know how Amazon does things. I don't trust them after Rings of Power Trust me. I'll be right.
Fallout was always woke lol. The series was satirizing consumerism and political extremism
Mocking political extremism is literally the opposite of being woke. Why do they think like this?
Truth be told - never thought about it this way
I gotta applaud you, you baited so many people successfully, they still haven't figured it out.
Heh - you get it. I applaud you friend!
What's blud waffling on about
If le workers owned le means of production the Great War would have never happened
Then are you aware it's literally made by a bunch of Marxists?!
Everyone point and laugh buddy thought fallout already wasn't a political commentary of a game

What a week, right?
So we had the GTA 6 announcement for an announcement, BG3 had another massive patch (so much for a finished game on release lol) that addresses issues in the endgame and finally fixes the epilogue, elden ring had leaks or something for a new DLC, there's peter griffin in fortnite and cs2 had a patch that made the game go from a 3/10 to a 3.5/10 and Faker got the title for the best esport player of the year. Also, World of Warcraft: Season of Discovery released which added tons of new content (LOL) for a 20 year old game. If you find Retail too mechanically taxing but at the same time too easy, and you're desperate to relive the glory days of 2012 when you first played Vanilla on shitty private servers, or if you're just looking for an excuse to play the same game again and again, this is the best time to jump in. I heard SoD was the baby mode of an already easy game, but you have to keep everything in perspective as Classic Andys are a sensitive bunch and 2004-2006 was a different time. Please do not cope in the replies.
What are you playing currently? !g*mers

Game of the Week to discuss:
Honestly I wanted to pick another comment but in the previos thread the user @Bum wrote a heartful essay about what he and his friends played and it convinced me to change the game. Much more important, however, is the fact that these few sentences radiate something that doesn't really exist on rdrama, sincerity and joy. I think it was @Impassionata who once said that genuineness on the internet is the best compliment you can receive and we should all say thank you to @Bum. That's why I picked Rimworld for today's discussion. Anyway, here's his text:
Yay! These threads are back.
I'm still playing RimWorld! I'm starting to consider the endgame since I have all of the spaceship parts researched now, but my colony is massive. So far I've got 70+ colonists and about 400 animals. Food is getting a bit tricky to balance at this stage; I'm having to put my colonists on vegan diets because the majority of my meat production is going towards feeding my carnivorous animals. I have 20 cougars, 50 wargs, 50 wolves and 30 cats, so it doesn't leave much room - especially since my chickens were almost wiped out by a brutal cold snap with temperatures reaching like -30 centigrade.
Other than that, I'm still playing Grounded with my friend. I kinda just want it to be over, despite how good the game is compared to other entries in the genre.
We also played Crab Champions recently - very fun game, but I feel like we basically saw all it had to offer in a single session.
I also played a little of The Binding of Isaac after getting whatever the most recent DLC was, but bounced off it quickly. I'm too rusty to handle the difficulty level of the save I have and couldn't get past the second set of levels after like 4 attempts.
Been playing SimCity 4 and Star Valor on my laptop. SimCity 4 continues to be a masterpiece and I've been experimenting with weird city layouts, with some degree of success. I'm unsure about Star Valor. I played a few hours and it felt like I'd already seen everything. It seemed like a less interesting Starsector, and if I just wanted a space-themed ARPG I'd play Drox Operative.
I also need to go finish the Spyro Reignited Trilogy. I'm up to the last boss in the last game so really just need to bang that out. I cannot recommend this collection enough. The visuals, audio and just the vibes in general are impeccable.
I also bought Forza Horizon 5 and Anno 1800 in the Steam sale. Excited to play these with my friend. Does anybody have some co-op tips for either of those?
Thinking about buying Songs of Syx, Dwarf Fortress, Kenshin and maybe also SimCity 3000 soon. I also recently uncovered my trove of Skyrim mods and save files, so I might get back into a run I've been playing since 2018.
This week's entry will be Rimworld
A sci-fi colony sim driven by an intelligent AI storyteller. Generates stories by simulating psychology, ecology, gunplay, melee combat, climate, biomes, diplomacy, interpersonal relationships, art, medicine, trade, and more.

Looks like Amazon has predictably dropped a female as the main character and probably made her lame and gay.
It is directed by the Nolan bro and has Kyle McLaughin in it so I may have some amount of hope - probably just enough for Amazon to crush in the first episode when Vault 33 Mary Sue defeats a death claw with her bare hands.

Gta V with graphics mod -

The last of us 2 graphics -

Microsoft Flight simulator 2023 with realism mods -
Horizon Forbidden West graphics -
Basing expectations for GTA VI off of these games which are already out there, we can expect:
1. GTA VI to have environments that look as good as flight simulator games - It should be possible for GTA VI to pull this off as the area they have to map out is smaller than the planet Earth.
2. To have their own in house equivalent to path tracing active for GTA VI - This would create near photorealistic lighting for ingame characters and scenes. The hard part would be optimizing path tracing code to the extent that even your base ps5 can run it.
3. Character models somewhere around the past of us part 2. The hard part here would actually be maintaining character quality across NPC's. It is feasible taking into account that Horizon Forbidden West already pulled it off successfully in making their NPCs nearly as detailed as the main character.
4. Smart NPC behaviors - Something rockstar already has experience with since RDR2.
5. The most likely weak point for GTA VI would be game physics, where we have no way to know exactly how destructible the environment will be in game.

Here are my predictions for GTA VI:
1. Graphically better than RDR2. Expect it to set new standards for what game graphics are supposed to look like in open world games.
2. Larger map than GTA 5.
3. Female character option. It's 2023 and they are trying to pretend to be woke.
4. Set somewhere between the 80s and present day. Going any further back will end up making it a historical game.
5. Upgraded physics engine. More destructible environments.
6. Buildings with indoor environments.
7. NPCs with set routines and more diverse personalities.
8. Physically aligned NPC movements.
9. PS5 exclusive game. No ps4 equivalent due to how limited older consoles are now.
10. Cutting edge 2022 tech equivalent.
Taking into account that GTA series is known to set the new benchmark for open world games for the next 4-5 years, expect it to look better than Spiderman 2.
What are your predictions for GTA VI?

My permadeath file now has a complete large-scale production network for Stasis Devices and Fusion Ignitors. There is a facility for every gas and mineral resource that will produce 20-34k/day and there is one large central farm that grows every plant minus mordite because mordite is ugly so there's a separate facility that only grows that. Once a day or two passes and I can check the actual output of the network I may build standalone circuit board, living glass liquid explosive farms if the main central farm is inadequate for my needs.
Anyway it only takes about 15 hours on permadeath to permanently automate and trivialize all resources and money and I am going to ban the next person who calls NMS a grind. The only grindy aspect is finding a decent cobalt deposit.

It was confirmed in January this year together with last of us part 2 but people back then thought must be some stupid rumour
Sony legit knows what gaymers want like at this point if they announced any game except those 2 stupid franchises people would been legit a lot happier, like remake of folklore or gravity rush or siphon filter or legend of dragon or ape escape or wild arms and etc but nope here remaster of game that look wise can't be truly improved and on ps5 you can play ps4 games so all those ps4 remasters and remakes are useless
