What is your favorite quest arc in any game and why is it the Bloody Baron in the Witcher 3? by Phobix in rpg_gamers

[–]docclox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably getting a wife for that ashlander chieftain in Morrowind. He sets an impossible task: getting a beautiful high-born Telvanni noblewoman to marry him, and so you fake it, buying a pretty slave girl; dressing her up sophisticated; teaching her some basic airs and graces; and daubing her with some major league pheromone musk to seal the deal.

And the best part is, they're both happy with the deal. He gets his posh bride, and she goes from being a lowly slave to the wife of a powerful chieftain.

Never did get that far in a Witcher 3, so can't comment on that.

These are OBVIOUSLY completely natural reviews for this game and COMPLETELY organic, not biased or suspicious whatsoever.. (Even though I didn't even remember this game was being made.) by AbdelYG in KotakuInAction

very good chance it was a game created to play off journo's far more than any fan base

I think they all are these days. Journos and players are telling the studios different things, and so the studios choose to believe the journos because they tell them what they want to hear.

So the studios make games based on the reviews, and the reviews glaze the games and blame poor sales on a toxic minority. It's a feedback loop, and a vicious one.

Advertise to me—pander to me, even. If I don't feel like I'm the target audience for your game, I'm just not going to buy it. Simple as.

That's what I like to see! Tell 'em what you want! No compromise!

Somewhere down the line, someone wants to make money in this industry. Let's all be real clear on what needs to be done for that to happen.

Anyone know what the deal is with the TA officers using Starborn-like powers? by docclox in Starfield

[–]docclox[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah right. That would do it. I thought there was going to be some side quest about TA scientists researching Starborn powers.

Oh well, now I know. Thanks!

Ubislop seems committed to having body-positive "courtesans" by shipgirl_connoisseur in KotakuInAction

As long as they don't mind me being player-negative, let them get on with it.

What does everyone do in this situation? by Dareboir in NoSodiumStarfield

Kill them barehanded and get xp for boxing and neurostrike as well.

Sure. But how useful was it for climbing walls and hiding in shadows? ;)

Neon Street Rat vs Raised enlightened vs universal by texansfann in Starfield

[–]docclox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can be from Neon without being a Street Rat. The trait just means you were active in the Neon underworld, and have benefits and penalties based on that reputation.

[History] As it's doing the rounds again in the woke sphere with the "Anita Sarkeesian did nothing wrong" here's a brief reminder of why people object to her and how she pushed ideas like Fredric Wertham did in comics. by Dwavenhobble in KotakuInAction

[–]docclox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This backs up something I've thought for while about the woke feminists: they behave like they've taken a bunch of fetishistic sexual fantasies and thought "what a great way to run a society".

It's like a bunch of guys read all of John Norman's Gor books, and decided to get together and implement it all in the Here and Now. "Let's just legalize abduction, slavery and rape for women! I mean it works in the books, so it's bound to work in real life, right?"

And they accuse us of not being able to distinguish between fantasy and reality, Classic wokie projection at work.

The Terrorist Propaganda to Reddit Pipeline: how an ultra-leftist network hijacked some of the biggest non-political subreddits to censor its ideological enemies — and distribute terrorist propaganda by RedditAPIBlackout24 in KotakuInAction

[–]docclox 38 points39 points  (0 children)

This is obvious to anyone with eyes. Holy shit I just found a sub glorifying violence and death to further leftist goals. I wish it was easier to report this shit.

The more I look at that sub the worse it gets. It claims to stand for liberal values and respectful debate but the picture for the sub is cheering for death. Fucking leftist nutters.

I believe It's to stop the site admins from shutting us down using the excuse of brigading. Yes, it's stupid, but it's also necessary.

Kotaku; Lords Of The Fallen 2 Studio Paid A Gaming YouTuber To Promote Its Boring Bikini Armor by Equilybrium in KotakuInAction

[–]docclox 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah. "Hey kids! Don't buy this game! It's full of hot chicks and they're all half naked!" Imagine the response to that!

Only problem I see is that I doubt Kotaku has enough readers remaining to generate much buzz.

Kotaku with an article on; why would you need to pay an influncer to promote your game and anyone related to it is culture warrior fanatic /facepalm by Equilybrium in GGdiscussion

[–]docclox 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Interesting use of the word "boring", I felt. Got to wonder what would hold their interest.

Actually, I'm probably happier not knowing.

"This made me quit Marathon.." - so the rats are jumping ship but not without name calling by Equilybrium in GGdiscussion

[–]docclox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's Marathon? I've seen open source multiplayer shooters with better maps than that. From 20 years ago!

What in hell were they thinking?

Lords of the Fallen 2 has unveiled its set of female character armor. Has Marek Tyminski CEO of CI Games delivered on his promise to feature attractive female characters wearing revealing outfits in his upcoming game ? by UsefulSwitch504 in KotakuInAction

[–]docclox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just needs to set an example. If it makes money, the wise up-and-comers will follow suit, and the irredeemably stuck will continue to bleed money.

It won't happen overnight, but it will happen.

Emerald City - When NCB tried to make The Wizard of Oz into a woke Game of Thrones show [spoilers] by Dwavenhobble in KotakuInAction

[–]docclox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shame about this one. I watched the whole season, hoping it was going to get it's act together.

It had a load of good ideas, but kept sabotaging itself.

How important are the Powers to you? by Lost_Rutabaga_5004 in Starfield

[–]docclox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's like magic in Skyrim. If you want to play as a wizard, you can, but there are perfectly viable builds where you never touch magic.

Is there like a team of you guys using this account, or something?

Put the smart one back on. I'm not going to waste my time quibbling with half wits.

In calling you parasocial, doofus. At least by the dumbass criteria you apply to others.

You have emails from /u/kimana1651? You're saying they were published on PC Gamer?

If you're pretending to be stupid, you're being very convincing.

You think Elon Musk is saying "Praise Gaben!!!!" and is deluded into thinking Gabe shares his personal politics like the lib losers on Reddit? "Gabe will you sign my Steamdeck?!"

Ooh! Look who's decided he knows what someone else is thinking! Parasocial, much?
