What I want is a first-person shooter set in Detroit based on THIS cult.



I'd buy the shit outta that.

Ok seeing how the game is around 340,000 sales on steam spy,i would say that it is not selling as expected. But to be honest a more accurate be available in monday and tuesday.

That Damn Dog yeah,Mack is a fine example of English inbreeding.

I just met a black hunter lady in the woods. I talked to her, then walked onto a nearby road and was spotted by a pick-up full of good christians. After the shootout, in which the lady also participated, i walked to her only to see that her skin turned... white?

She sure is crafty with that camouflage make-up!

Its diversity for the modern times... Soon we will no longer need different characters to portray the different races... There will just be one character that switches race randomly throughout the game... Nobody will be left out again.

The good christians purified her. Mission accomplished.

Not really. The entire rest of the world already has an extremely skewed notion of what the US is actually like as it is.

I'm just letting it be known that the game is profoundly inauthentic.

Do we, I wonder? You elected Republicans and Fox news is the #1 news channel. Evangelists and the NRA are essentially part of your government. Scientology, Mormons and JW still exist. Everyone laughs behind your back, even poorer countries.

No, you laugh in our faces, the way you're doing just now. We know. In fact, European arrogance has shaped this country since its birth. For a long while this awareness took the form of an inferiority complex, but that was a long time ago.

Oh my goodness, we elected Republicans? Groups of people are allowed to have a say in our government? How dare we! Clearly, only one political ideology should be allowed to dominate, and only approved groups that pass muster with your personal ideology should have any say in it.

When it comes to arrogance, we learned from the best. At this point, you might as well be laughing at yourselves wherever you're from, because your caboose is hitched to our engine whether you like or not... and the alternatives to the US aren't anywhere NEAR as sympathetic to globalist progressive bullshit.

If you want to discuss this further, newfag, pay your tenbux and take it to GD where it belongs. If you want to vent your impotent rage at caricatured redneck whipping boys, there's a forum called Resetera that might be a good fit for you.

The funny thing is, at no point did I suggest that the cultists in FarCry 5 make rural Americans look bad; they're just weird and inauthentic. In fact, SJW morons are actually extremely butthurt that the characters in FarCry 5 AREN'T ridiculous redneck caricatures. It's one of the entertaining things about the buzz surrounding the game.

Even when a game is inauthentic, it sheds a light on a certain place or time, and there are people with knowledge who come in and criticize, and the rest get to learn something.

Admittedly, that one scene is a very authentic depiction of a rural Thanksgiving celebration, and I'm only slightly kidding.

Actually, we even have exploding turkeys at Thanksgiving:

So I was playing this earlier round an acquaintance's house and I could not believe my eyes: they got rid of the mini-map completely. I only played for 10 mins but it seems exploration could be legit enjoyable now (to some extent), as opposed to mindlessly running to loot/relics and other such points of interest. Said things also do not appear on the full screen map.

It can't be true, Ubisoft love their mindless map marker rundown collectathons. There's probably maps you can buy from shops or something...

You can talk to various NPCs and they will reveal location of outposts, prepper stashes, etc...
It does have some good interface design choices. You can choose a mouse-friendly grid weapon menu instead of usual circular one popularized in other console games, small "an objective is near" notifications appear on screen to even make you deviate from the main path more, the map is fully 3D so you can track outposts manually (usually a factory or a bunch of buildings near each other that can be heavily populated) instead of asking NPC. I'm still disappointed that the game doesn't allow switching off the entire HUD with one button, and pressing E to loot seems iffy because the game often acknowledges the action as holding E to switch weapon when looking at a corpse.
It's also 2018 and we still only have one single slider for all audio elements.

Gamers complain about dumbed down gameplay and excessive underhanded business practices. Are Ignored.
SJW bitch about irrelevant or extremely minor details, or want history retconned to appease their inane agenda. Devs/Pubs bend over backwards.

Hey, can we band together and collectively and actively call out actual relevant shit in gaming? Maybe it's because we bitch on forums where we can safely be ignored while these people attack via social media (where company image is more important) and send death threats and shit.

Also if you're a male and one of these raging SJWs with emphasis on feminism...holy shit dude stop betraying your gender by wilfully giving up our fair share of the power in the gender social dynamics.

Oh, they know we're here. As far as the Polygon and Kotaku enthusiast crowd is concerned, the Codex is a franchise of Stormfront.

But to answer your question: No, we can't. We're outnumbered 10,000 to 1, and even if we weren't, plenty of Codexers' tastes run toward decline anyway at this late date.

I'm aware they're aware. It's just in forums we're in no mans land. On social media like Twitter and Facebook, company image is more important.

Also,

You still dont get it, they dont listen to sjw bitches, they never did . They obey to a few oligarch owning medias (and also game companies) pushing that SJW agenda , again i repeat myself , diversity is extremely good for an oligarch, they also demand complete sexual freedom . Diversity is so good ,no union cheap labor, and its a lot easier to rule over pseudo muslim gender fluid generation Y than white soldiers with strong christian values.

Wut? I don't think it runs that deep with these game companies, at least not consciously. It's simply a case of appealing to more potential demographics for greater sales. Old school hardcore types that demand engaging gameplay or won't buy because microtransactions? Fuck 'em, they're a tiny minority and mostly only whine in the obscurity of forums anyway.

The Grunk Review of Far Cry 5

- complete, utter shit and pretentious story as always, including a terrible, contrived ending that desperately tries to make sense of the messy 30 hours you played through, though this time we don't even have a fun villain to dull the pain of a story that is simultaneously edgy as an angsty teenager and thinks it's really saying something deeeep

- tighter gunplay

- no towers, somewhat better mission structure - new save system is annoying but also prevents save scum, making perfect outpost clears harder (but on the flip side getting undetected ratings doesn't matter much)

- MTX system doesn't matter despite the butthurt internet - you'll wade in enough dough to buy everything you want, cosmetics included, even if you pay little attention to side quests

- companion system is the only gameplay add-on to speak of, but doesn't really matter so use them or don't it's whatever

Final score: play if you want more of 3 and 4, tab out and check your mail or watch some youtube while cutscenes play / 10

Appealing to more demographics ? Well it would be useless , its the privileged white man who pay for games, and movies and comics... oh and pretty much everything.

It seems you haven played Deus Ex in a long time,mate. Is really scary how accurate those conspiracy theories looking from the present. The best way to fix the cancer would the nuking of California. Ohhh rocket kim please go badshit insane and erase this land of corruption.
