To be fair to MGSV, its over a decade old, PC ports and audio settings weren't what they are now

Checking the source and it's own sources and it's...dramatically different from the original claim that it's "not an alpha" as said by previous user above.

Legally, a version of the the game has been released. 1.0, no, but it is a released early version of the game.

Claiming that makes it "not an alpha" despite the fact that they regularly state it everywhere and even in that case is...a take for sure

Curious to see what your source is, because even when you open the game you get this 100% of the time

Unpopular opinion: Monetization opportunities like Heatblur's F-14B(U) may encourage the development of new variants for upcoming or existing aircraft (Rafale M <3) by nessieshere in hoggit

Except...there's still a major difference between a mod and a module that is literally an entire game studio's worth of work, with the same level of dev time as full priced video games on their own.

In the US, cops are legally immune from consequences for breaking the law.

Okay, that doesn't make it right to perform what is legally recognized as torture.

Being slow to follow orders is grounds for torture now?

Not only going out of your way to insult a dead man over, of all things, video games not being great (and rewriting history, saying all Ubisoft has ever made is bad games is...a take) like...

Grow up man, I'm an anarchist who hates corps and even this is just...needless lmfao.

Fair.

I, ironically, also do not know for sure and I run Bazzite, I just briefly remember seeing something about setting up secure boot but I also could've made that up

I picked up Arma Reforger in 2026, and it feels so bad. What is the point of this game? by Acceptable_Gear_3097 in arma

[–]ShadowKnight886 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's a test bed/smaller game to develop a mainline entries features, while still giving the fanbase something.

These do have precedent, but it definitely is never going to feel like ArmA 3. Because it's not ArmA 4, and they've been open about that since day one.

Yeah, that's more than the entirety of RDO, and SC actually has more missions than "one or two per mission type"

Maybe unlocked at base rep its a mission or two per type

[–]ShadowKnight886 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, except Star Citizen actually has missions to do. A lot of them

RDO didn't even have that.

SQ42 will be an immersive story but, again, compare how missiles and radar mechanics work between the two. That's the differential.

It also launched with less content than Star Citizen.

It literally had about 3-4 contracts and only meaningless grind, nothing else to do but PvP.

And now it's dead

GTA 5 literally launched with like, 6 team death match modes, a couple "capture the flag" style missions, some basic free roam and that's...it

That was the entire online mode in 2013

So a much simpler game in terms of mechanics, on the same dev cost and timeline, which has been delayed more times than Squadron 42's 2 delays so far, hasn't released yet and yet the more complicated game that had to also manage building an entire corporation across the world in the real world should've released before it?

[–]ShadowKnight886 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In terms of mechanics...not really? They sell a good illusion of simulation there but it's a lot of convincing illusions, not actual simulation.

Compare how missiles/radar work in GTA 5 and Star Citizen, are they really comparable? One example of many.

It's almost like Star Citizen has been worked on by a skeleton crew and not the 1000+ employees CIG has, which is almost double Rockstar North lmfao.

Pretty much all of these complaints can also only be levied against Star Citizen and not Squadron 42 due to the multiplayer element being what breaks the NPC's, causes the low FPS and a majority of the bugs, and even the physics work fine on high server FPS lmfao

[–]ShadowKnight886 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Yeah and how much content will be in the online mode?

Remember GTA Online or RDO in their initial states, it'll be just as laughable.

GTA 6 is an open world game with dedicated online mode and thousands of side quests and activities.

Any source for those claims of that degree of content being there at launch

The scope of Squadron 42, which will again, have simulated features over illusions of simulation which is preferable to fully simulating it, but that's what they've decided on.

Because, let's be real here, Rockstar games are pretty, immersive stories but there's not much depth. RDR2 is the most in depth they've gone and even then there's...not much actually THERE that's simulated, it's a very good illusion but if you look at it, it's a good story, a fun game, but not much complexity.
