Looks absolutely disgusting. And also this sounds like The last federation which is probably a much better game anyway.

I love SPACE and (hard)sci-fi so I am loving that it seems to be getting more attention.

Too bad everything is shit.

I will only play if that Isaac Arthur dude narrates some of it, because then at least it would be funny.

This actually makes sense. Blacks may be better adapted for life in space as they suffer less from zero-gravity bone loss. This may give them the advantage in space colonization and thus see them being a significant force.

That's the guy who sounds like Elmer Fudd, yes? That'd be amazing, Elmer Fudd into space.

Better adaption to zero G pales in comparison to Actually Having The IQ Necessary To Operate Complex Machinery.

Yeah it's the speech impediment which makes it hard to pronounce the letter R, and to make the joke complete it's called rhotacism.

It makes you sounds like a baby. VEWWY HAWWD TO SAY WOWDS WITH AW

First project post-Bloodlines 2 I think.
looks gay
CDPR should have offered to develop this. But who knows, they might've still insisted on making it sandbox with too broad a scope. I still think either they or Rockstar are this franchise's only hopes.
cdpr are fuckin trash man
So, time travelling sjw fuckheads teaching the dinosaurs to be gay and tranny was the real reason they died out. The asteroid was just a cover up?
absolutely

Fermi Paradox's demo is available on Steam during Next Fest. It is surprisingly decent and un-woke, if you exclude a trigger warning at the start which states that "this game contains war, devastation and loss of life".

Yes, but since only a small elite minority will ever into space...

I dunno about baby. It makes you sound like Elmer Fudd, and Elmer Fudd in space is absolutely hilarious. That unique accent is what makes him recognizable. The other cruelly-named speech impediment is the lithp.

You're kidding, right? Or shilling? I just started and this is already the wokest shit I've seen lately. Nigger astronaut right from the start, globohomo agenda in your face... Vegan agenda even, for fuck's sake. Also, check this:

6CFDCFDC350F0C5D93543ECB1502FE856BCFB10B

And the game is all about this shit, it's fucking insane.

This statement from the link:

The events, the outcomes, the sequences are always the same. There is nothing random in this "game", so it's more like a puzzle or visual novel.

...is not entirely true, since during my playthrough I didn't encounter either the "meat" event or the "rainbow protests" event. Only the general outline is scripted in the demo, meaning that a "crisis" of sorts will occur no matter what. For example, in my playthrough it had to do with hydraulic fracturing and oil in general.

But I see your point.

Yeah, he probably chose the tutorial and didn't realize that it heavily scripted but still. Also, one of the first screens literally tells us that social injustice leads to dystopia. If this is un-woke then I'm horrifyed by what the real woke might be :D

I even downloaded it after your comment. It's good I didn't launch it.

Into the trash it goes.

You guys should have paid attention to the thread in strategy and simulation where I point out where the devs outright say they're intentionally setting out to push a progressive agenda. :M

stunning and brave, that will surely set them apart from all the competition doing exactly the same thing

Looking back, just before the shitstorm started, when even somewhat cynical guys here, me included, beleived there's still a chance that something good might come out of the certain vapourware project solely thanks to Mitsoda's presense, they sure look like fools now. Turns out, it was up to no good for 100% all along, judging by his participation in such a sweet piece of sjw propaganda. What a fucking shame.

I kept pointing out all this time that it was Brian's idea to get Cara Ellison involved.

Paradox apparently regarded Bloodlines as the crown jewel in the portfolio when they bought the World of Darkness IP in 2015. Meanwhile, at Hardsuit Labs, creative director Kai'ai Cluney came into Kipling’s office and told him they had to make a pitch. Things started happening all at once. Kipling was sending emails to Paradox saying: “We’re pitching you a game whether you like it or not,” while Cluney started reaching out to Mitsoda. They had a meeting set up within a couple of days. Mitsoda reached out to Ellison later, and said it was fun watching her reaction when he told her, a reaction she described as a “weird goofy grin.”

“We had the right people in the studio at the time, Brian was interested, everything just sort of worked,” said Kipling. “It was a perfect confluence of events. The time is now.”

I don't see anything wrong with this position. Maybe your goal is to bring about the Imperium of Man. FOR THE EMPRAH!

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
Saw this on Steam. Didn't put it on my wishlist because the screenshots and description seemed really meh, and I put all kinds of half-baked trash in my wishlist.

Also, lol at that "cannot go into space travel if we don't destroy the meat industry!" bit.
Gotta survive the harsh space with soy capsules, I guess.
