Peak Rome in decline: gimme muh bread and muh games or I'll riot!

Nintendo fans are insane.

I know this might be news for a gay jew who is known to get shafted now and then but cancelling something that is pre-ordered and then not handing the money back goes against common sense consumer protections and even if the restored content mod is garbage it would set a bad precedent to let buyers get fucked by a business like this.

 

[SpaceWizardz]

The joke's on them when they win this lawsuit and have to file another lawsuit to remove the awful fan-made content included in the restored content mod.

The only thing fan-made here is the voiceover, this was just an earlier iteration of a quest that shouldn't have been restored.

It doesn't even sound like something written by a native English speaker. I'm pretty sure they cobbled together the whole thing from some unfinished designer notes left in the game files. What makes it even worse is that this replaces an existing quest and character, meaning they removed actual content from the game to make room for this abomination.

Thankfully someone made a mod to enjoy the bugfixes and other benefits of the restored content mod without the most retarded stuff: https://deadlystream.com/files/file/296-unofficial-tslrcm-tweak-pack/

That's pretty swell but it doesn't go near far enough.

Nintendo fans are insane.

They are not, objectively speaking they had been scammed by Aspyr and are entitled to ask for a refund. Which they are refusing to give. We can debate the quality of the cut content and if it is worth spilling your spaghetti over, but Aspyr explicitly used the cut content as a selling point of the Switch port and are refusing to deliver it. How is that not misrepresentation?

What else did TSLRCM needlessly restore/change, in your opinion?

HK-47 quest where you have to destroy a million bots by yourself.

Yeah.. That was a pretty terrible quest. Lots of the cut content was cut because it wasn't ready and wasn't presentable.

There is no real way of "restoring" this game properly, it's either going to be fan-fiction or revisionism.

That quest fills in blanks in the narrative though, and I believe it's skippable with meta-knowledge (by never talking to HK-47 about the HK-50 units). It makes the game feel more whole, even if the gameplay side is lacking in quality.

One would have to get Avellone involved in an official capacity and hope for the best.

 

[luj1]

I honestly would feel completely and utterly sad for Obsidian if they were forced to do a game in the completely utterly fucking shit Fallout series/engine Bethesda created.

they already did

anything on that platform is trash

Do we know what Sawyer will work on next?

croissant baking RPG set in 16th century France

it will be a 2D game coded in java

it involves time travel because croissants were invented in 1800s austria and sawyer is trying to deleverage from his previous german supremacy by siding with the french

Where you play a black nun in a loving gay marriage that was approved of by all the local priests, who are also black or women, except one conspicuous old white priest who announces he's evil in every convo, and in a shock twist he's the villain. At least it'll have a good selection of period firearms, the only thing Sawyer would never let be historically inaccurate.

Fired artist is seething at glass door

Leadership is a problem

Former Employee, more than 1 year

Pros

Your pod mates will likely be fun and friendly. A place to get a start and a title on your resume.

Cons

There is an inner circle among leadership and you're not in it. You'll likely be laid off after a project. Pay is below average for employees unless they're friends with leadership or a white male. If you point out problems you're likely to get shunned from higher-ups.

You're gettin' called out, Sawyer!

 

[Bulo]

I can't believe Feargus Urquhart would do this

Edit: I can't believe Chris Avellone would do this

That's pretty much par the course for knowledge at this point isn't it? I mean, the leadership is essentially up its own ass for the most part and notorious for playing favorites.

 

[Ismaul]

JES is still there only because he learned to become the favorite, the good boi, the company man.

Hire nu-californians who see racism everywhere.
Hired nu-californians: you're racists!

How could this happen??

 

[Butter]

Is Sawyer making 6 million a year because he's a white male? This is all starting to make a lot of sense.

Six million? That figure seems a little high to me
