Yes but thats also obvious, all mobs and cartels dont operate in the open because then there structural and systemic criminality would be publicly exposed and scrutinized by everyone Can you imagine an openly Mexican Cartel aligned mayor and his speeches " today we brought in 1 ton of fentanyl, street prices are going to be consistent " So they operate in the shadows by design and the more corruptible a particular politician is the better

What are you Playing Now? - Back to the Grind
BruceVC replied to majestic's topic in Computer and Console
It might be related to a mod I loaded that I uninstalled after completing the main quests on map 1. I havent been to map 3 yet so I will see if I get more Resistance points for completing main quests on that final map You could be right because I noticed when I completed 1 quest on map 2 I got 800 points and that was after I removed the mod as well -

Im about 40 hours into Far Cry 5 and Im not happy with how the Resistance points work. It was fine in the beginning but its now becoming laborious and repetitive In order to complete the 3 maps you need to gain Resistance points and you need between 10k-13k for each map and you get different amounts of points for each task or quest you complete so in the beginning it was fun because you can choose what tasks you can select so its like open world But then I completed all the main quests on map 1 which is John Seed and I had only achieved 6.5k Resistance points which means you have to now grind the activities which respawn. And this is the problem, there are only 5-6 activities like free hostages and destroy a roadblock and it gets boring very quickly doing the same activity over and over again And the same progression is designed the same way for each map. Its getting so boring I may even quit the game but I will probably finish it through hours of grinding because I dont like quitting any game But the Resistance points become a really bad design as you progress in the game -
The irony about Putin is if he had the confidence and belief in his own policies and support he could have a free and fair election and there is a good chance he could win legitimately Its impossible to know the true numbers but he has at least 40-60% of the country supporting him But autocrats like him cant take the chance of being defeated which is why they will ensure the reality of the political environment is not free and fair

Obsidian Entertainment: My Thoughts on most of their games
BruceVC replied to jeffreystocks's topic in Computer and Console
I have played every Obsidian game you mentioned except for Outer Worlds and I loved them all for different reasons My favourite games being PoE2 and NWN2 But they all very entertaining. Obsidian is definitely one of my favourite current gaming studios alongside Bethesda, Larian and CDPR But its generally more accurate for me to list my top 10 favourite games because of the high number of excellent studios out there -
Its quite funny and confusing but on Codex you have people in the Ukraine thread who are openly Neo-Nazi but Im not sure exactly what that means to them Most of them are Russian or from East European countries and they have these endless debates about Slavic ethnicities and who is white and who isnt But the Russian Neo-Nazi dont support Putin but they dont support Ukraine either because " white " people are getting killed on both sides and Putin is using a form of replacement theory in Russia with immigration from countries like Dagestan and Chechnya Its really confusing because there are all these ethnic groups within Russia that I have never heard of and most of the time I have no idea what they talking about

I have heard very good things about Underrail, is it a good party based RPG? Has anyone got any views -
Random video game news... Games are Randomly News Worthy
BruceVC replied to Lexx's topic in Computer and Console
Absolutely, its one of those long videos you watch in the background and its also not a political message I have got into a habit of watching these types of videos during load shedding which is for 2 hour windows once a day. But sometimes we can go for 5-6 days with no load shedding and then it comes back for 2 weeks But its a good time to watch Youtube videos because I can use my cell phone and wireless and fiber still works -

Im breaking my rule about not posting videos longer than 20 minutes but @Wormerine you and others will appreciate this. Its 2 hours long but very relevant and interesting -

I am about 15 hours into Far Cry 5 and its delivering on exactly what I expect from FC games Ubisoft uses the same successful design with these types of games, you have your standard main quests but you have open world around how to complete them. Using resistance points is a genius way to give the player choice on how they want to progress Its also a beautiful game and Im running it on Ultra graphic settings and I enjoy the various companions and there stories Lots of activities and side quests means Im not bored yet and as usual with Ubisoft games I wont focus on the main quest until I start getting bored
