It's pretty unfortunate that this IP became so overridden with cringe retards, autists, and gigavirgins. Even Fallout hasn't been this badly beaten. At least it had the honor to die a quick death brought on by a corporation concerned only with profit, rather than be torn apart at the seams by hordes of sweaty nerds.

This is why I don't let myself get into the fandom or community around any particular game. 99 times out of 100, it's filled with people I despise. I mean, one look at this guy tells me I'd rather rip out my fingernails with rusty pliers than ever get involved with something like this.

Fortunately, I'm able to pick up just about any game that piques my curiosity and enjoy or hate it based on its own merits, despite how cuck-infested its fandom may be.

Problem is this is the logical conclusion for World of Darkness as company as a whole became woke, as kids say these days. White Wolf truly was progressive back in the day when your alternative was D&D where all the actual basement dwellers gathered and already rare women somehow interested in the hobby dared not enter. WoD was basically a starting point for a lot of people who wanted more than dungeon crawling for phat loot as D&D was stereotyped as.

You people are lame. Fingerless gloves are both cool *and* practical, there are tons of activities where using fingerless gloves makes it easier than using regular gloves. I mean, hello, touchscreen smartphones?
You can wear one in field hockey but outside of that I wouldn't wear one

Yeah, judging people by their looks are we? Florian is a nice guy and the kind of nerd that would hang around here if he wasn't actually producing a game instead of whining about it before it even got released...

I can see that at least level designers and whoever made that shotgun are putting effort into the game.

Modern Seattle being Woke doesn't seem out of place, so i will give writers a benefit of the doubt. But, in case of it going New Colossus route (full retard), i hope the amount of Elysium zones will be kept close to a zero.

His fear grimace tells me everything I need to know about him.

That ain't "fear grimace", Mr Mentalist. That's a fake smilie.

Prestigious shot, and we all owe a great debt to Gygax and Arneson, but you're not exactly selling these guys as football team captains. Age the Vein Pursuit guy 20 years and drop 20(+) pounds and show me the diff physically between him and Gygax.

I think boomers just see hipster looking nerds and assume they're Bernie Bro socialists who will make all the bathrooms in the game gender neutral. Which... may be true, but it means little when it comes to actual gameplay. However we're in a time when for many people this is all that matters.

Or we've read the interviews with Cara Ellison.

Insert Title Here Strap Yourselves In Codex Year of the Donut Codex+ Now Streaming! Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.
I don't even know how this game will end up. I played Blacklight: Retribution, Hardsuit Labs previous title, for way too many hours to admit, and honestly it was a fantastic dark science fiction shooter. It had a preposterous amount of content that somehow ended up balanced in spite of the insanity. I'm talking shurikens that you could stab with and also throw which became motion detection stun grenades when they hit a wall, actual mech suits you could deploy in multiplayer and merchant depots you could interact with to buy large armaments to fight back against the mechs, such as flamethrowers and rail cannons. Full character customization in an FPS shooter that let you modify your ability to "wall hack" which took control away from your weapons during activation. There was a siege mode, a zombie horde mode, etc. etc..

Hardsuit Labs is a creative bunch, but I think they're more suited to making a new Deus Ex given their skill set and interest. As for the SJW shit, who's to say in this era, these guys could have been bowled over by some toothpaste hair HR woman already, but they did make The Duchess, a playable preconfigured character in Blacklight, whose rarest skin looked like this:

Somebody's never played Deus Ex.

Wait, [Annie] got divorced from Biran Mitsoda??
I like Annie and wish her well - there is room in this world for wacky blondes - and I hope she and Brian are okay or whatever.

Personally
, to me this is good news for Bloodlines 2. I have often said that I would like to see Mitsoda's future work unhindered by the filter of having to keep his wife happy. The sexiness of the original would be very different if he had been married at the time. With a little luck we just might see some of his frustrated nerd fantasies again in the new game.

It is.

This is basically reign of the anti-Christ stuff that is going on, but sure, let's worry about video games instead lmao.

it would be nice, but I think the damage has been done and a little luck won't be sufficient. We'll see.
