Why are so many Codexers like this?

[rusty_shackleford]

is there an easy way to ignore all slav posters?

you're allowed to log out, you don't need to ask me for permission

 

[Tacgnol]

Oh god I remember the combining and broken up files. A nightmare. You still run into those today.

I remember getting a bunch of files off of rapidshare and regularly one or two would be missing and the niggers on the forums would never reupload them or respond where to get replacements but they would charge for forum membership.

Warez-bb was a pretty comfy experience in the golden age of Rapidshare. Forum went to shit after Rapidshare and Megaupload died.

I'd say it's the same that happens to many other people well-acquainted with a complex topic. Acting a patronising prick / bitter-wise-guiiii is a display of power that is cheap and safe, and people can generally use feeling being in power. Sometimes these automated ways of thinking also creep inside our minds without us knowing they've settled long time ago.
Being creative, kind, or taking the gathered knowledge one step further e.g. learning how to inspire is a value. Value is harder to come by, it requires consciouss endavour, investing energy etc.

What's wrong with slavs and potatoes?

....besides us Oregonians using them as counting tools?

 

[Humbaba]

Slav posters keep you sharp. Can't test your forum-no-jutsu skills if there's no insipid contrarians to argue with. It's like rodent's teeth, stop chewing on things and they'll grow dangerously long.

Besides, the recent dominance of Central-Eastern Europe in making quality RPGs is a no-brainer. What did the West put out in the last decade to compete with games like Underrail, ATOM, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Pathfinder: Kingmaker, Disco Elysium? The region has most subgenres of RPGs (maybe except blobbers) covered. Care to give examples of US-made RPGs that are not unoriginal, woke garbage?

I don't give a shit which corner of the Earth a game was developed in. I'm not going to get roped into some bullshit discussion about which arbitrary geographic region produces better RPGs. I want to hear about the quality of games, not some nationalist drivel from people who worship a South American crop.

My main problem is shit like this:

I'll vote Cyberpunk 2077 due to patriotism.

Cyberpunk 2077 is mainstream trash that fell on its face for being a buggy mess that under-delivered. The game was so bad and over-hyped they came under investigation for it and were slapped with multiple class-action lawsuits. And yet you voted for it to be GOTY. And what was your reasoning? Patriotism.

If I want to read praises of AAA trash, I can go to Reddit or any other gaming forum. The last thing I want to do is read reviews from people who put nationalism before taste. How am I supposed to trust any review on this site when it's crawling with people like this:

 

[madbringer]

[...]The problem is insufficient piracy in the US, which meant that companies could get rich from making AAA trash by promoting poor taste, and bad games got normalised. Now the US RPG is dead, but we still get plenty of great games from other regions.

The problem is niggers and spics not being able to figure out how to use torrents, so they became the consumer base for AAA titles.

It's like booster vaccines! Oops, wrong forum...

Oh, so no examples then. I rest my case.

Dunno but looks gay as fuck.

Everyone can see why you'd rather discuss that than defend yourself from accusations of shilling terrible games.

I will say that I appreciate your transparency.

No shit most of the sales came from outside of Slav lands.

Don't try to dilute this by talking about some "lands". The point is that witch3r was made for kwans. It is kwans who gobble it up while begging for more. It is for kwans it has shifted from fairly traditional crpg formula to full blown open world visceral experience with awesome buttons. And both sides have never been happier. Stop wallowing in manure and some slavs will probably be happy to make games like atom or pathfinder for you.

The Witcher 3 isn't made for Americans specifically. It's made to appeal to the least common denominator to maximize sales. Granted, that tends to mostly be Americans, but that's because the US has the largest gaming market (outside of China I suppose, but it's a special case). CDPR is chasing that money, and dumbing things down and making it more cinematic is the financially savvy move. CDPR is just following in Bethesda's and Bioware's footsteps. Gaming is an industry where success often leads to a decline in quality.

You have literally dozens of users with animu avatars running around daydreaming about RPG Maker Loli Tiddies Simulator XII and so on. I just don't see what makes you particularly buttblasted about da witcha.

Witcher 3 is just the most egregious example, so it's easy to harp on it. As far as JRPGs, I just avoid them entirely so they don't bug me as much since it's really easy to spot a JRPG. But other RPGs I can't tell if I'll enjoy them by just looking at the screenshots, so I rely on the discussions and reviews on this site. If I can't trust the conversations on here about games, I really don't how what other sources to turn to.

If you want people to continue playing skyrim but vote for prestigious TOEE then it's a bit of a weird flex, but ok.

I have no problem if people want to spend their time playing trash games. The way I see it, I consume plenty of trash television and movies. I know they're trash, and, even though I enjoy them, I'm not going to portray them as art. If someone likes to switch off their brain and play Skyrim in between bouts of TOEE, I don't see anything wrong with that. I'd just rather they don't come here and misrepresent what Skyrim is.

This site is basically a Fallout fansite, so I'm not surprised to see New Vegas overrated.

Weird. I'd say you should be at least a bit surprised, since quite a few games or total conversions were released by now that provide a way better Fallout experience than New Vegas. And none of them received even a small fraction of FNV's recognition on the codex. I wonder why.

You have a point. I'm guilty of this. I have a massive backlog of games to get through, so I avoid amateur offerings to save time because I assume they're lower quality. I know that's not always going to be true, but it's probably mostly true.

 

[Ismaul]

Witcher 3 has a shitload of fans around the whole globe, it's not just slavs who are to blame.

But ones that don't equally love Skyrim?

Yes. Fuck TES. Morrowind shouldn't even be in the top 100 IMO.

Is Witcher 3 that many magnitudes better than Skyrim?

I wouldn't know, haven't played Skyrim. But compared to Morrowind, a thousand times yes.

Or is it just that RPG Codex has a Slav problem?

No. You're trying to give this a racial explanation because you have no understanding of why people liked TW3. You don't like it. But the storylines and C&C have rarely been better in an RPG, in fact there had been no good story-centered RPGs for a while when it came out, so yeah, people like it, even if the gameplay was the weakest of all The Witchers and the open-world was a poor clone of Piranha Bytes' design principles and overall a mistake. And for the record, I'm not a Slav.

However saying that piracy requires any effort - let alone "too much effort" is laughable. It is a few clicks of the mouse, literally in most cases.

Are you worried that you might get a virus from pirating games?

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Some pirated games aren't fully clensed of some bullshit that blocks functions, heatup your computer, and eats up ram slowing it to shit slow snail's pace. .... and viruses. Sometimes it is a shitty deal.

 

[Rincewind]

I remember the time when the glorious audio warez group Radium finally cracked the hardware dongle for Cubase SX (about 6 man-months worth of work, if I remember their boasting in the NFO file correctly). Steinberg stated it was "uncrackable protection" -- and we know how it usually ends when you taunt crackers with statements like that...

The funny thing -- it ran *a lot* faster than the original; you had to install a kernel-level device driver they wrote by reverse engineering the USB dongle which basically simulated it 100% in software. Which proved to be a lot more efficient than the program constantly communicating with the USB thingie.

In the end quite a few paid users just ended up using the cracked version in their studios, it was so much more efficient. You can even find references of this old fiasco in some old message boards.

I have many friends that use radium and reckon it's heaps faster than the registered version. Something to do with searching out all the copy protect stuff.

The new radium version of VST/24 is faster because it doesn't go a turn by the dongle i.e file loading and stuff like that is faster. That's how it is....

Apparantly the deal with the Radium version, is that it works faster by not having to keep searching for the dongle. I know a guy here that had a registered version that kept crashing, then he ditched the dongle and it worked. Anyway it's all irrelivant coz I'll be going for Logic or Cakewalk. Dale

Another instance that I personally remember and amused me a great deal is when they released the cracked version of some Frauenhofer MP3 codecs (was "industry standard" in the early 2000s for a while). Well, they were not happy with the original apparently because they did some low-level assembly optimisation on it and made it like 20% faster

Also, how prestigiuos is *that*:

In 2004, evidence was presented that some of the system sound files included with the Microsoft Windows XP operating system, such as WMPAUD1.WAV, were authored using an unlicensed version of Sound Forge which was supplied by Radium.

But yeah, otherwise don't use warez, it's dangerous. Look what 30+ years of warezing did to me, I have barely any hair left!

sounds like many Unity games I play, allows my laptop to double as an egg grill too

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Yep. I bet unity is the culprit. Lastone was a lackluster rogue-like. Music was relaxing though.

Defend? From you? Don't flatter yourself.

It's you who prefer to cast accusations instead of, you know, discuss games. Still you did not present any examples against CE Europe recent superiority in the art of RPG-making. You either agree with my statement or are just a shittalker with nothing of substance to contribute to the discussion.

So because of your "massive backlog" you did not play any of the great Fallout 2 total conversions that were released in recent years? Neither Fallout: Resurrection nor Fallout of Nevada? Not even Olympus 2207?

And you still want to claim you have superior taste?

My, my, what a sad poser you are :D

Warez comfy? I blame them for filling the family PC with spontaneous Porn pop-ups when I was a teenager. And not all the porn I was looking at.
