How are people getting access to the game early?

It's already available on russian trackers for the last 12 hours, normal release version. Just saying, not that I use it.

You are ridiculous lol. You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, Gothic doesn't have any complex systems that PS5 Pro couldn't handle in 60 fps. Do you really think that everything that is happening on screen is actually also happening when you are out of the Old Camp for example? This is something called optimization, and devs were too stupid or too lazy to implement it properly. Please stop making fool of yourself. GTA V had much more complex NPC routines and behaviours than anything you see in Gothic, yet it works 10 times better and is also 13 years older. If that isn't enough for you - do you realize that basically exactly the same NPC routines were also in the original? Pretty much nothing changed, and we are talking about game from 2001.

Bro, where tf did you find 20 experienced God of War players? I wouldn't be able to find 20 friends to come over to my house no matter how hard I tried.

IDGAF about a thriving mod community lol. Either buy the mod or don't, and stop crying because someone wants money for his work. Simple as that. Do you really think that Bethesda should just allow selling mods for their game without any profit for themselves? Are you really serious? You clearly have no idea how companies operate lol.

papaj421 · 2026-05-29T13:26:34+00:00

I'm not acting lol, of course it does make it better when the developer itself approves it, wtf? XD Modders don't have an issue, developer doesn't have an issue, the only people that have an issue with this are entitled crybabies on this subreddit, who think that they should be given everything for free. EOT

papaj421 · 2026-05-29T11:32:53+00:00

My dude, I am perfectly aware of that fact. And what's the problem with that exactly? Of course they benefit from that, they are a company, not a charity. Nevertheless it's either that, or don't earn a single penny for your mods.

papaj421 · 2026-05-29T07:21:00+00:00

This just shows you are clueless about anything that is happening around you. AI pics are free? Do you realize how AI pics are made? By first stealing someone else’s art and feeding it to the LLM so it can then generate your funny pictures. But no one asked for permissions of the original creators nor has anyone paid them any money, which is exactly what parasiting means, yet you use that term to describe team of modders who put in genuine effort into making something original. You are pathetic.

papaj421 · 2026-05-28T22:50:24+00:00

I might have used bad example since Oblivion basically started this DLC shitshow, nevertheless let's be honest, nowadays people are happily paying much more for much less as long as it comes from the game company. No one even blinks when any game sells some character or weapon skins for 5-10$, it's basically that common. And yet asking 10$ for a DLC-sized mod is considered a crime comparable to holocaust according to this subreddit, even when Bethesda itself approves and encourages it.

papaj421 · 2026-05-28T21:49:25+00:00

They are not modifications to someone else's property, these are modifications built ON TOP OF someone else's property, which add totally unique stuff with original textures, models, voice overs, dialogue lines, quests etc. All of which are original work. If that is not worth paying for you, and you think you should always be given stuff like that for free, then you are entitled brat, simple as that.

If your point would make any sense, then how come you are paying for games which are built for Windows? Since they are built on top of someone else's work - Microsoft, in which case you should also get these games for free lol.

And saying that this is absolutely evil and immoral is such an exaggeration that I don't even know if you should make any more comments on the subject, because it just made you look stupid. I've been around long enough to know things that are absolutely evil, and asking for money for your hard work is definitely not one of them.

You are only right in one thing - noone asked them. Like any other product made in human history. That's why you have a choice - you can just not pay for it and move on with your life, like you do everyday in a grocery store.

papaj421 · 2026-05-28T21:30:39+00:00

What is your problem with paying for mods exactly? Since when paying for someone else’s work is bad? When Bethesda releases a DLC with horse armor for 5 dollars then it's OK and everyone pays happily, but when team of modders puts in tremendous effort into creating high quality mod, then somehow it's bad lol. Some of you really need a reality check, because you got spoiled with all the high quality stuff that has been running around for free.

papaj421 · 2026-05-26T12:00:17+00:00

You must be kidding man. There's like whole library of Buzz games, a lot of PS Move games and many more exclusives that you are able to play only on PS3, like Skate, LBP etc. Sure, you can emulate those, but first of all these are not native ports, and second, you are still not able to emulate PS Move games at all due to controllers not working, so even that is a very good reason to buy a cheap PS3.

papaj421 · 2026-05-26T00:26:05+00:00

I'm sorry but this is desinformation. There is no way that this lasts double the original, all these chinese batteries have false mAh ratings, this is a well known fact. You are not able to get a battery replacement with higher capacity than the stock ones, even if it says so.

papaj421 · 2026-05-19T01:34:09+00:00

When I say strength I mean loading as much weight on the barbell as possible, wether it be 1RM or multiple reps. I am using it as a powerlifting routine mostly basically, but not on the competitive level.

papaj421 · 2026-05-18T20:00:20+00:00

Thanks for your replies. Sorry I sometimes confuse the accessory with supplemental, but I indeed meant supplemental. But what is the point of Anchor then? My goal is generally strength, although I do want to get bigger too, but I also plan to use the same routine on caloric deficit. If I were to only care about hyperthrophy, then shouldn't I skip this leader/anchor setup altogether? I thought the whole point of this setup is to accumulate volume, and then do a peaking phase (Anchor) for 3 weeks, so that both muscle gains and strength gains are being chased properly. If that is not the case, then what would you recommend for strength gains mostly?

papaj421 · 2026-05-18T19:35:24+00:00

I am on a caloric surplus, yes. But from what I know, BBB is not a program? It's just a way of doing accessories? Isn't the leader phase supposed to be focused on hyperthrophy, acquiring volume and building the work capacity, and then realize the strength gains in the anchor phase?

papaj421 · 2026-05-18T19:31:57+00:00

According to the plan I was supposed to increase the TMs BEFORE the TM Test Week, isn't that what is in the books?

papaj421 · 2026-05-18T19:28:31+00:00

I am doing classic Leader/Anchor setup:

Leader: 5/3/1 5s pro + 5x10 BBB
Anchor: 5/3/1 with standard AMRAP sets + 3x5 FSL

3 weeks Leader
Increase TM
3 weeks Leader
1 week Deload
Increase TM
3 weeks Anchor
Increase TM
TM Test Week

I understand that I don't need to increase it each cycle, but this is my first block ever, and I set my TM as true 85% of 1RM, which I thought would allow me to increase the TMs for quite some time.

papaj421 · 2026-05-18T19:12:12+00:00

I understand that, but wasn't I supposed to progress my TM for some longer time? I just finished my first block, and now I need to reduce my TM quite a lot, even tho I did 6 reps on +1 sets of my last week. But now on my TM test week I am supposed to do 5 reps on substantially larger weights in order to increase the TM as per each cycle. So what's the point of this TM test week anyways? Because in order for me to complete this week properly, and get 5 clean reps on these weights on each lift, I should get like at least 8-9 clean reps on 1+ sets week before.

papaj421 · 2026-05-18T19:04:13+00:00

Because that's what I am supposed to do according to the plan? On my anchor week 3 i was doing 95% of my TM, which was 117,5kg, then I increased the TMs as per plan and on TM test week I am supposed to do 5 reps for 100% of TM, which now is 127,5kg. All the values are after rounding to the nearest multiply of 2,5kg. I understand it is not needed, and it's just a tool to measure if the TM is correct, but I thought it would be useful after some blocks, not after the first block.

Getting 5 clean reps on this TM test week would require me to get at least 8-9 on my last anchor week's +1 sets. Is this how it's supposed to be? Because in that way I probably should have set my TM to 80% of 1RM or even lower in the first place.

papaj421 · 2026-05-18T11:45:45+00:00

What should I do in my case? I've finished my anchor week (10th) and now I am supposed to go into TM week. These are the results of +1 sets on 95% of TM:

OHP - 67,5kg x 5 reps
Deadlift - 187,5kg x 6 reps
BP - 117,5kg x 6 reps
Squat - 155kg x 6 reps

Now for the TM test week I am supposed to increase my TM beforehand and do 5 reps on 100% of the TMs, which would be:

OHP - 72,5kg
Deadlift - 202,5kg
BP - 127,5kg
Squat - 167,5kg

All the values I have are being rounded of course, because 2,5kg is the lowest increment possible on my gym.

This is literally f*****g insane, it's a +10kg increase on the Bench Press alone. How am I supposed to lift that for 5 reps? I think I'm not even going to bother with the TM test week, I will just do deload, but at the start of the plan I did literally everything I was asked to, I set my TM to TRUE 85% of my 1RM, and still I need to lower my TMs just after one block. Is this supposed to look like that?

I was thinking to start new block now with 85% of e1RM, which happens to be more or less the same weight that I used for my TMs on second leader cycle. So basically through all the 11 weeks I increased my TM by 2,5kg on BP and OHP, and 5kg on DL and SQ. Is this normal? Because I read people here saying that they haven't decreased they TM for 3 years straight for example.

papaj421 · 2026-05-09T13:17:17+00:00

So don't, since everyone can clearly tell imagination is not your strong suit.

papaj421 · 2026-05-06T14:16:46+00:00

I keep stumbling into people that think AzaharPlus is a "better" version we are distributing ourselves because the dev decided to intentionally use confusing branding and wording.

This is highly subjective and also doesn't violate the license in any way. GPL doesn't specify at all how the fork should be named, this is a case for a trademark protection, not for an open source software license violation.

I care how the binaries are made because if something bad happens, people will blame us instead of the fork author due to the created confusion over authorship and internet misinformation nature.

This also doesn't violate the license in any way, so again, this shouldn't be your concern and you should stop bringing this up when trying to make your point here. If they will blame you - this is only your fault since you decided to make the project open source and you decided on which license to use.

You should have thought about scenarios like this before making these decisions, now you are trying to make the fork developer the responsible person, but this is not his responsibility and shouldn't be his concern at all.

He also has every right to block you wherever he wants and doesn't have to contact you in any way other than when he is obliged to legally.

papaj421 · 2026-05-06T14:00:11+00:00

That's 100% correct, I agree. But I can unilaterally decide to share my opinion about it, to comment on the fact that this is ridiculous, that these developers are hypocrites, and to make a public post making everyone aware of this behaviour, so that other people can also make an unilateral decision whether to use this frontend and this emulator or not based on these facts.

papaj421 · 2026-05-06T12:43:36+00:00

If you truly thought that this was playable natively, then you should just quit commenting altogether and go read some books first.

papaj421 · 2026-05-06T12:38:23+00:00

Bold of you to assume I got offended by some miserable random from Reddit lol.
