SonicMage117 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I think young talent is always good to recruit though, the beightest minds are usually the inexperienced since they are so fresh and untainted. All the old folk developers have only failed our hopes for producing our dream games in the past so it's time for a change. Question is, will we as older gamers embrace younger talented folk, will we be able to do so without criticizing them like the nagging wife due to old habbit expectations? I feel most of the time I am too hard on them personally but with the new indie movement proving that a single teenager can make a game that can hold its own when put up against our nost beloved games, the journey towards more wisdom sought to continue. It's something we must all strive for since none of us are developers/programmers. Just what do you think you're doing?! You dare to come between me and my prey? Is it a habit of yours to scurry about, getting in the way and causing bother? What are you still bothering me for? I'm a Knight. I'm not interested in your childish games. I need my rest. Begone!

majestic Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 You must work in crap part of EU. In civilization we get +50% for overtime and +100% on weekends. We also have a normal overtime regulations like everyone else, with a 50% markup for regular weekday overtime and a 100% markup for Sunday/holiday work and even higher ones for people working (graveyard) shifts, dangerous or dirty work. Most pople have regular work contracts and get paid overtime. I just don't, and funny as that may sound, by choice. That I can sit here at 09:10 in the morning and type up this post before I leave for work is a big part of it. No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

marelooke Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Getting paid for overtime assumes said overtime gets logged. That's not always the case, especially in IT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
213374U Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) Space communism, playable crime syndicates complete with hostile takeovers, planet-wide cities, and a few more megastructures. I really hope the next big patch is a diplomacy overhaul.

Chilloutman Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 it should include trade overhaul as well? I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read.

I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future.

Malcador Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Wonder if they'll ever bother with espionage. Why has elegance found so little following?

213374U Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 it should include trade overhaul as well? Yes and no. The things listed are exclusively the paid stuff. The general economy overhaul is part of the upcoming 2.2 Le Guin patch, which will release at the same time, but is free. The stream also had some cheap shots at scientology and lootboxes (which the game now technically includes), but was surprisingly to the point concerning expansion features. Wonder if they'll ever bother with espionage. Yeah. The game is currently sorely lacking in ways to deal with other countries that aren't outright war. What they showed regarding the crime syndicate civic is a step in that direction, so maybe if that sort of thing is well received they'll explore it more. I miss Coup Nation 667 (1000). - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oner Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 One of the Le Guin related dev diaries explicitly says that the population overhaul is partially groundwork for future espionage systems IIRC. 1 Giveaway list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DgyQFpOJvyNASt8A12ipyV_iwpLXg_yltGG5mffvSwo/edit?usp=sharing What is glass but tortured sand?Never forget!

Lexx Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) God damnit, the RDR2 hype is so high, but I don't want to spend 500€ on it right now. I'd rather go for Xbone, as I don't like the playstation gamepad. Do the new consoles have HDD or SSD drives? Don't want to have yet another noise-maker in my room either. I'm so happy about my PC not doing any aggressive noises anymore. /Edit: ugh, seems Last of Us is playstation exclusive... so I guess the next game will be as well. That means I probably have to go with PS4 if I'll do it at all... I hate exclusive games so damn much. /Edit2: But RDR2 seems to look best on the latest Xbox One X (lol there are multiple console versions nowadays.. hilarious). Honestly, I just want it for PC, then I don't have any of the above problems..... Edited October 27, 2018 by Lexx "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

Katphood Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) I haven't bought it yet but I'll probably buy it for the Xbone X. The Xbone has a hdd but it isn't all that loud really.

Lexx Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) I just don't play enough console games to really be able to justify the price. This and The Last of Us 2 would be the only titles to interest me at this point. Even for the PS3 I've played only few games... The Last of Us, the Metal Gear Solid franchise, Dark Souls 2 and I think that's it. Man, the price / use ratio is horrible bad if I compare that with everything I do on the PC. I'm also using the PS3 as a bluray play, but ffs, the only bluray I have is Mad Max Fury Road. :D So what's the point, really... /Edit: Ffs, Bloodborne is also PS exclusive. This is ridiculous.

Katphood Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Whatever you do, just be sure to play Tokyo Jungle on the PS3 before you toss it out.
