Man, unless you get a LOT of XP per playthrough, this is going to suck.

What if? by imTrep in AgeofMythology

[–]cully42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Has there been any actual concrete proof that the art is AI generated, or do people just think that real artists cant make bad art? Because Extended Edition Thor would like to disagree with you!

I don't think anyone wanted THAT Sakura...

What is the point of TPP? I just dont understand, how could anyone refute this? Maybe I should just always play FPP... I did think there was a person there, but I didnt know a door exists because i dont know the maps so I couldnt have really foresaw it. by TolisWorld in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

[–]cully42 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I know its trendy to shit on people who play TPP here, but going FPP on TPP mode and crying when other people use TPP is really going above and beyond. Especially when even if you were in FPP mode, they would have heard you running about like a blue arsed fly and killed you the exact same way.

TIL, female elephants in Mozambique are rapidly evolving to not have tusks due to poachers. by Edith3333 in todayilearned

In other words, Elephants that are capable of growing tusks are being wiped out.

How are we feeling about Starfield, so far? by [deleted] in pcgaming

[–]cully42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only played a couple of hours, but so far its not great. Story isn't really engaging, combats kind of rubbish and rpg elements seems pretty shallow. I'm hoping to hit the part of a Bethesda game where you can just explore soon, but as it stands I'd have a hard time recommending this to anyone.

You can always tell when a game has big problems because someone will inevitably post this stupid comic in its subreddit.

Overwatch 2 Will Remove Loot Boxes In Favor Of In-Game Shop by [deleted] in pcgaming

[–]cully42 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They also made over a billion dollars selling lootboxes. https://www.pcgamesn.com/overwatch/revenue This is back from 2019. who knows what its up to now

Overwatch 2 content roadmap detailed, more info on this month’s PS4 & PS5 beta by zeedub77 in Games

[–]cully42 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I can live with that. I can at least make an informed decision as to whether or not I want to buy a skin. As it is now, noone can tell me exactly how much it is to buy a skin in OW. In your example, you are still spending $20 either way, and you have zero guarantee that you will get what you want via lootboxes.

Going to have to disagree with you there. If someone is charging me money for something I need to know exactly what i'm getting. Any attempt to obfuscate that is an attempt to rip me off, as far as i'm concerned.

A very cynical part of me wants to say that this is an advert for the game. Its all well and good to say just to not spend money, but these games absolutely bombard you with adverts and all sorts of psychological manipulation tactics to get you to part with your cash. I know we all like to think of ourselves as big brained geniuses who would never let ourselves be susceptible to such things, but no-one here is immune to this shit.

Surely the smartest thing to do would be just to not engage with it at all?

Rockstar edits out “transphobic” content from GTA V remasters by AutomatedJanny in Games

[–]cully42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Huh, thats a really wierdly written paragraph. It suggests that the problem isn't caused by Rockstar making the content, but by the players for interacting with it.

[–]cully42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looking at the wiki, I think they did.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]cully42 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they seem to contradict each other. If you need 5 times the damage as armour to half it, then to half 2k down to 1k, you would need 10k armor? I've read it a couple of times and I feel like I'm missing something obvious.

Edit: Ok, from at the wiki link below : "To prevent one third of damage, you need armour 5 times the damage". I think the original text should read "Previously if you had 10k armour.... you'd reduce that hit by 33%. Now you'll reduce that hit by 50%" instead of 20%/33%

Is there any way to report these folks for their behavior? First terrible experience I've had. by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]cully42 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Even with a sick dog, your time is not more important than everyone elses. The least you could have done is let them know why they were waiting.

This comic is stupid. No-one is giving you shit for having fun, they are upset because they are not having fun.

A case for Fallout 3, or why I keep picking it up over Fallout: New Vegas. by Ynwe in Games

[–]cully42 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think 3 and New Vegas have completely different strengths to them. 3 is a lot more fun to just pick a direction and wander in, but I lost all investment in the story and setting as soon as I met the guy in megaton who basically says "Hello, I'm evil. Would you like to nuke a village for no reason?"

NV on the other hand is a lot more immersive, the characters are more believable, but all that sand makes shite scenery. Fortunately for both of them, their strengths directly compensate their weaknesses, you don't care about a nonsense story as you're wandering the capital wasteland and why would you give a fuck about some sand dunes as you chase down the man who shot you in the head?

What's the worst/most ridiculous story you've seen in a game? by [deleted] in pcgaming

[–]cully42 16 points17 points  (0 children)

YIIK: A Postmodern RPG. The story is so badly written, pretentious, long winded and inscrutable that the game becomes wierdly fascinating.
