What a surprise!

Finally watched the latest Blade Runner yesterday. I was hesitant for a long time, because honestly, the first one is good, but it never truly kicked with me. Also it's just so damn long... ... turns out, Blade Runner 2049 is pretty awesome. Plenty folks said it was long winded and boring, but watching it, time went by like nothing. Heck, the movie was suddenly at the end and I enjoyed nearly every minute of it. I agree, though, that you need a great TV and sound system for it. Watching it on some old junk hardware likely doesn't give the same experience at all.

I don't really have a problem with the combat system in Kingdom Come, but I also can't remember any of the combos... and the ones I do remember I find very hard to execute.

Metal Gear Survive is called "Survive" because you gotta survive the money drain.

It was always bugging me in Arcanum. There's not a single bathroom anywhere in the whole game.

Ahhh doesn't it feel great to have someone to put all the blame on?

Is there anyone around who could spare a couple minutes to go over some ~160 words "news broadcast" text that I have written for my current game / mod project? I need another opinion on it, also it might need tweaks, as I am not a native english speaker.

This is still not fixed either, no? Can't check right now, because of mobile phone. Does the forum getting any updates anyway? What about security issues? I had my data stolen on quite a lot boards in the past couple years, seeing my "have I been pwned?" counter steadily go up. Makes me wonder when the Obsidian Board will show up on the list.

It would be a great idea if public transportation in these zones would be revolutionized... but it will not be. Prices still go up, timetables are worth crap, every vehicle is crammed full, ... list is so long. Honestly, it drives me mad how politicians can wonder about the increased private car use in our cities when at the same time using public transportation becomes even more unattractive as it already is. Heck, couple years ago you'd pay 65€ for a month ticket here. Today it is about 89€, bus and train drivers are on strike at least once per year for a month, and all in all everything is just garbage. It is just not worth the hassle.

To get away from this annoying left and right and race and whatever crap.... ... I've arrived at the Monastery location now and it looks awesome. Some parts of it remind me a lot of how the farm of my grandparents still looked like barely 10 years ago. Funny how little certain building styles have changed in the last couple hundred years.

Apparently comments are disabled? So I checked the bug reports and... lel.

Yes, was. Back in 2016. Nobody really talked about it anymore since then.

Do read Eisenhorn and Ravenor trilogies if you haven't. Did already. I think Eisenhorn was a lot better than Ravenor, tho.

I've read all of Dan Abnett's Gaunts Ghosts books, and the parts I enjoyed the most were always the ones that had interactions with civilians in it / were showing civilian life / anything of lore outside of pure combat. Why is nobody making a 40k game with that in mind, even if just barely? These games, they all look the same, they all have exactly the same focus, and they all bore the hell out of me after just a short time. Really, if I had the resources and would be working on a 40k game, I'd have the player start out as an imperial soldier in some sort of WW1-styled landing operation, do some combat stuff and then drive it all back into a kind of detective adventure game with only little combat encounters. Something that has you interact with a more "down to earth" kind of setting, as much as it'd be possible.

Apparently one of their planes costs $100. That's a damn serious amount of money and these things must look and feel like a real world plane to justify THAT price tag, imo.

Yeah, it's weird at times. I'm also getting these stutters every once in a while. Not sure what is causing this, as it doesn't happen all the time. Once they appear, I'll have to restart the game and it seems to work again. Maybe a memory leak or something... sometimes it doesn't appear at all, though. Still. I'm 33 hours in now, and I certainly did not expect to play it for this long. There is still 1/4 of the map in fog, so unless there will be only tiny side quests, I have a couple hours more in front of me.

Get better. Find trainers and get more strength. I suck at it as well, especially with the combos (I was never able to memorize combos in any game), but if you get into a higher level, fights also get a tad easier. Oh, and get better armor and a better weapon. I'm in full plate mail now and most hits (not all of them) barely scratch me now.

Wouldn't be surprised if it'll be about Theresa. She has a kinda weird fit in the prologue sequence, which makes her kinda suitable for a side story set right after the attack on the village up until she meets the player.

Apparently it might be possible to do some advanced modding with this game. Some folks already posted screenshots of the CryEngine SDK with extracted game files. Guess I could actually change my opinion about the CryEngine.... because none of the other modern engines allows for anything like that. Also I've read they already think about the first DLC in which the player will be a woman.

Only if you do quests and rest / sleep all the time. If you just stroll through the woods, you can spend a lot of time on exploring or hunting and if then something stupid happens... Happened to me as well. Was wandering around through the woods without any real target (actually tried to find rabbits) and accidentally stumbled over an "interesting place" with a chest. Had some really fancy items in it. 5 minutes later I was falling down a cliff and got stuck in a bush. :> Still, this game is just so fancy. It's one of these rough gems that can only get better with patches.

Yeah, the BIOS update completely fixed the crash bugs for me. Not a single crash since. Also didn't encounter any other serious bug so far. Got stuck once, had AI behave like retards every once in a while, but other than that it's fine. Still keeping the savegame mod, because I just can't get warm with the thought of having to possibly replay a couple hours of playtime if something bad happens. I don't have the time nor the motivation for such a game mechanic.

Look at how awesome I look like: This game srsly needs a third person view, so I can look at the awesome all the time.

Hilarious in a good or hilarious in a bad way?

Man, Archer season 7 and 8 were great. Honestly didn't expected that, because season 5 and 6 felt very mediocre and mostly annoying to me. Now I'm carving for season 9.

Today I did a bios update and - with being cautiously optimistic - my issues seem to be gone. I've played for 5 to 6 hours now and not a single crash or blue screen or anything. I've even cranked up the graphic settings again and no crash yet. Now, this could all be purely random as well, but considering the past days I could barely play an hour before a crash happened, I'd say this looks pretty good already.
