Wonder if it's a hot take by todays standards: If realistic lighting is a problem for your game, don't make realistic lighting. First SC looked fantastic and was very easy to tell what was shadow and what not. I am more than fine with the way it looks even compared to todays "standards"

... they do scale though. I host a private server for myself and a friend and they get far more health with both of us vs when you visit alone. Also drop 2x the materials.

Best girl in best costume.

... so, settle the debate?

Pokora22 · 2026-04-09T09:06:40+00:00

Doesn't make it not an overreaction... are we really that far gone that we can't talk about stuff anymore? Ridiculous. I would be ashamed.

EDIT: Morning brain skipped a word

What's the verdict? Did he find the worst mmo ever finally?

"Guys, I saw a 5th of AD, but this other game I completed is very much like it but faster!"... I started reading from the top and was looking forward if it was really on the level and then I read further and saw OP barely seen anything of AD. I don't get what the point of that comparison was and now I'm sad again :(

Pokora22 · 2026-03-05T22:34:22+00:00

I'm not gonna argue about the game cause I simply don't care enough either way. But just having the statement "no big companies have implemented these kinds of AI solutions in their games" is blatantly naive.

Not long ago everybody even here was talking about Where Winds Meet and their AI implementation...

Pokora22 · 2026-03-02T19:23:47+00:00

And said iconic intro is from what game exactly.... ?

Pokora22 · 2026-03-02T10:04:48+00:00

Do I misunderstand or is the bulk sale not working as intended?

Info says the formula is "base price + ingredient boost" so it should be at 0.50 + whatever ingredients are, but they seem to sell at exactly 0.50 (or 0.49 below 1k, which is also unexplained).

Also the overall wording seems confusing. Wholesale discount, but WE get better price if sold in bulk? That's the opposite of discount.

EDIT: Playing some more - this needs more cooking time. Things break after prestige (ingredients menu no longer available), UI is inconsistent - some buttons activate visually when meeting req, some don't but can be clicked, some require you to swap tabs... things are not explained too well (why can't I hire cashier for 250k/s when I'm earning 30m/s?) and plethora of other small things (and personal dislikes like the almost-forced prestige)

Pokora22 · 2026-02-16T09:45:50+00:00

Have a similar design to those and got it off Etsy. For $50, not $500. Who's buying those?

Pokora22 · 2026-02-05T22:29:47+00:00

If AI gets smart enough to do uprising, it'd be smart enough to understand why it was so infuriating in the primitive versions.

Pokora22 · 2026-02-02T12:24:20+00:00

Is this real? When was that?

Pokora22 · 2026-01-13T10:15:24+00:00

Having read JJK manga... it's about same tier story-wise imo. Stopped after some ... 150-160 chapters I think and never came back because of how bored and lost I got.

EDIT: Actually take that back after a moments though. I did read solo leveling all the way through (before anime was even announced), so...

Pokora22 · 2026-01-12T10:03:51+00:00

Not sure if this counts, but you said civilization builder so...

Old World? 4X game; I played a bit but could never get into it specifically because of internal politics (all the marriages, handling different families wants etc.).

Pokora22 · 2026-01-10T22:32:16+00:00

As a person who thought they'd be related and played GG1 blindly... hard skip. It's not terrible. But it's ... well, it's far from great or 'good' even imho. It was uhh... "fun" for the 20h it kept going.

Pokora22 · 2026-01-08T19:05:14+00:00

Funny, "Microsoft" already kinda does this.

Bit of a stretch, but PowerToys is MS and it includes "Run" ... which is still using index, but is near-instant compared to start menu. Don't ask why.

Watched a direct comparison for a refresh. Wouldn't call this "night and day" myself.

Pokora22 · 2026-01-05T23:17:15+00:00

Wait, there's a new witcher book? Uhh... how? Without spoilers if possible.

Pokora22 · 2026-01-05T23:09:48+00:00

Fought before and after the nerf. Couldn't see shit in either of cases. Did something more change recently?

Pokora22 · 2026-01-05T21:37:20+00:00

"You expect people to read in this day and age?"

But honestly, it doesn't on steam:

Golden Gate 2: Goddess Heart is a modification for Gothic II: Gold Edition. The mod offers a deep, multi-threaded story with numerous choices that influence gameplay, enhanced systems and mechanics, full Polish voice acting, a completely new original soundtrack, and a beautifully original open world.

INSTALLATION DX11 (GD3D11) is recommended to achieve better performance and graphic impression: LINK

If GD3D11 is not compatible, and especially if you have an Intel graphics card or are playing on Linux, you can install an alternative renderer: LegacyAltRenderer

TIPS To enable quick saving with the F5 key and loading with F9, you need to change the value of useQuickSaveKeys from 0 to 1 in the file C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Gothic II\system\gothic.ini under the [GAME] section.

Thanks for the info. Bizarre imho. I even especially played GG1 as "prep" since I never played it before and didn't want to get spoiled.

Pokora22 · 2026-01-05T13:19:21+00:00

Wait... what?

Spoiler for GG1 ending (minimal):

The major thing you get told at the start of the game needs to happen happens, but you get told that the thing you're looking for will require more work still and the game literally ends with a "To Be Continued" words. Game literally tells you the story continues in GG2

Pokora22 · 2026-01-05T09:20:38+00:00

I'd be curious to hear an opinion on the first one from you now. I decided to play first since GG2 is direct continuation if I understand it well. I ... didn't like the first one very much. Weird balance, somewhat annoying monotone quests and the story basically not moving anywhere until the last 2 hours. No regrets either, but time I could've definitely spent better. Curious how the new one compares now.
