Video had like 30k views when I posted it. Holy shit this is some autistic astroturfing by YT. I was surprised hearing just how many people had gotten this in their feeds before even looking at the thread.

Despite all that though it's getting properly slammed in the ratings. Youtube can't really manipulate this anymore without likes and dislikes being entirely disabled because they themselves gutted them. It's too funny.

Just a question of time when they will completely stop exposing dislikes on videos.

The only reason you can see dislikes in my screenshot is due to the plugin bring back the dislikes, which has it's own servers for storing everyone's dislikes. The only way a regular YT user sees the dislike button is as a thumbs down with no numbers. It does absolutely nothing, or only the uploader can see the dislike count. I think dislikes might not even exist anymore. Months ago YT stripped the API that bring back the dislikes had pulled all previously existing dislikes from to archive.
 
It got shilled to all hell that is for sure. Like I said it got posted on reddit on a load of subs, possibly more than the 11 that currently have a post with it since jannies could have deleted it. You might think not but reddit jannies would delete something like this even though ti goes with the "Russia bad" message if it was in a sub where it makes no sense to talk about the game. And I would not be surprised at all if it was also boosted on twitter.

I wonder if the hohols at AIN had something to do with it? They did start the fearmonger over the game "spying on you" and are obviously skilled at internet propaganda operations...
 
Ah jeez dood, 127 comments and a 32%/68% like/dislike ratio?

Just gotta wait until Youtube implements a comment approval system that forces users to pick approved words from a pool in order to make a comment.

Only for people to use it to write stuff like [Please] [Play] [Sudoku] [inside] [the] [all] [gender] [bathroom] [with] [a] [Skid Rope] instead.
 
Seeing a lot people (most of them being the "all games are political!" kind of people) openly seething over both Harry Potter HL and Atomic Heart makes me glad, we're not talking about game stating that there are only two genders, or a game implying that fags and genderspecials have no place in any post-apocalyptic society, it's a fucking Harry Potter game and a Russian FPS with robot women, that's all it takes to break these people.

Troons have ruined so much of the discourse surrounding some of my favorite properties through simply being incredibly loud and nolifey, so it's beautiful to see the seethe. I almost wish developers would start straight-up making their games unwelcoming to members of the genderbender community from the get-go.

You know why GSC is being very silent on mod support? Because it will be a) non-existant or b) castrated to hell. The reason being they're supposedly making the new STALKER on Unreal Engine, which means that any sort of modding ability will have to be added by the devs and it will probably be heavily limited anyway.

The reason the original STALKER trilogy had so much fan content made was because of the janky ass X-Ray Engine made in-house by GSC devs. It's a very adequate name as basically all the major elements of the game itself are contained in pure text files. You want to make yourself invulnerable to almost everything, have infinite stamina and infinite carry weight? All you need is a file manager and Notepad.

Not only that, GSC at some point released the source code to the X-Ray Engine, meaning the community was able to fix it up and expand on it. There is a project called OpenXRay which aims to improve the old game engine, however it only supports Call of Pripyat, with support for Clear Sky in the works and Shadow of Chernobyl compatibility being non-existant.

However do note that all the major popular mods are based on Call of Pripyat. Plus, Call of Chernobyl uses it's own modified X-Ray Engine, and STALKER Anomaly has it's own fork of the X-Ray Engine called the Monolith Engine, which is the most technically impressive fork of the original codebase to date, it's even natively 64-bit, and the amount of shit people manage to pull off in Anomaly speaks for itself.

And this is why no matter how fucking perfect STALKER 2 will be, it will never ever overshadow the legacy of the trilogy, as GSC decided that going with Unreal will be the best option, completely killing off any chances of a successful modding community.

And as for Bethesda, the reason they still allow modding is because they are still using their in-house engine that is essentially a massive fork of the Gamebryo engine that dates back to the 90's, which is structured in such a way that modding is actually possible. If Todd Howard ever decides to move to Unreal, expect the modding for Bethesda games to be completely dead, or at least neutered to hell. Not because Bethesda wanted it that way, it's because they couldn't do it any other way when switching to Unreal.

Makes sense for Bethesda to keep working with Gamebryo, then. They know modding is a large part of their appeal. Good on them not listening to retards to switch engines.

Not gonna lie part of me would like to see something like that, like a game pretty much showing that your average bugman isn't fit to survive in a post-apocalyptic society or something like that. But even then, that's also the funniest thing, a game doesn't need to openly antagonize them, a country they don't like making a videiogame it's all it takes to make them having a mental breakdown.

"Everything is political!" they say, i guess its no longer ok whena piece of media has politics you don't agree with, isn't it?
 
This thing is listed as needing 90gb space to install on steam? I fucking hate modern gaming. Sirs, please compress your shit, not all of us have ultra fast internet.

I have to agree. Know the worst part? It's not even close to being the worst offender. Not by a longshot. Fifa 23, that shovelware that is the same game as years ago? 100 gigs. BF2042? 100 gigs too. That one retarded Square Enix game Forspoken? 150 gigs. RDR2 150 gigs too, though it at least has the decency to look good. The latest CODs on both MW and Warzone? 175 gigs.

Fuckers seem to consider shit like "optimization", "compression" and "streamlining" to be obsolete concepts or some shit. "Eh just make them buy a brand new PC our partners in Hardware sales are gonna love that" fucking hell.

There's also the constant race for larger textures and more voice files.
Honestly, 8k textures is a meme, I'd rather take half the install size and more outfits and enemy variety over a game with massive uncompressed files.
Elden Ring's install size is 40gb and has perfectly servicable graphics

I've seen people try to cancel this game cause the studio is Russian. Clearly, all Russians must unite under Putin, the same way all Americans love Biden without exceptions, right?..

Also, the whole sexual marketing is just fucking stupid. I've seen devs post looping clips of the robots doing suggestive shit, and the idea of a Russian laughing to himself, seeing the proud west bend its knees to literal propaganda is hilarious to me. The fact literally just "boobs" is enough to still drive numbers in 2023.

Well, mo like they're trying to cancel the game because the Russian devs aren't dropping to their knees and going "WE SORRY ABOUT THIS WAR AND PUTIN! WE ARE A HORRIBLE NATION AND YOU ARE ALLOWED TO HATE US! SLAVA UKRAIN!!"

Graphical fidelity in general as a primary focus in modern gaming is a massive meme. We already have the technology to make games look very, very good. We're not in an era where people are struggling to implement dynamic lighting, high-resolution models, cloth physics, et cetera. In the modern day, developers need to focus less on having 8k textures and RTX raytracing (which is a meme unto itself) support and more on good design, effective use of both prebaked and dynamic lighting and shadows in concert, effective color pairing, visual clarity, and overall stylization.

Theory time, the sexual marketing will actually play into a aspect of the game, the Robot twins are actually going to be some sort of Venus Fly trap thing, where they front with the Sexually attractive robot girl image, and then will do something really fucked up to the player and completely ruin that image, shedding the façade of Women and turning into some Massive Beast.

Or maybe its just for T and A idk.
