not enough porn in muh video games
It is irritating and depressing how aggressively retarded the Bethesda shilling teams are being over this on all platforms. I know you're all trying to be 'le edgy shitposter', but since you're such transparent frauds that it comes off as grating and pathetic. Maybe post some more heckin' based chad vs virgin memes starring Todd Howard? That'll do it this time, for sure! You didn't even say 'nigger' in your last post, are you even trying anymore?

It is bad enough that soon the internet will be inundating with automated versions of these that make actual discussion impossible, but if this was my forum there is not a chance in hell that I would tolerate some smarmy team of paid shills like this Vic fucker whatsoever, not for any price.

At the very least learn how to fucking post and stop spamming, you inbred retard.

not really. I remember that gamer reviewer angry centaur gaming once had chatgpt write a review for the Last of Us, and it was so silly and retarded
I'm not sure if you're a native speaker or not, but the sentences make next to no sense. It was obviously either translated or written by a foreigner.

The worst ChatGPT outputs I've read were better than this. "We hope that by coming together it will stay even happier." :lol:

Ok, got another half hour or so of playtime. I came across a white dude who was in charge and didnt have some mutt or black woman there to supersede his position. The governor of Mars no less. You can offer to bribe him for a politcal discussion but I didnt think much of it as politicians are known for corruption. He doesn't accept the money and says it would cost a lot more.

Speaking of ChatGPT. "Speak politics"? Who's writing this dialog?

Looks more like a product of the American school system to me. Someone who has never learned to write properly, instead they just hammer out words on the keyboard as if they were speaking.

If at least Bethesda had kept their strong points strong and not getting rid of them we could ignore that the graphics are mediocre or bad even which was the case before, Bethesda games were more about the immersion and RPG systems, combat alwayss sucked, the best was the VATS system in FO games and just because the cinematic cameras and kills which added to the immersion and strategy, graphics also sucked to a degree but were serviceable... curious that the more the graphics improved the more they got rid of game mechanics and overall gameplay declined... its almost as if focusing on graphics removes resources from other aspects of the game... anyway the point is: if Bethesda at least had kept their strong gameplay elements intact and improved them then the players would tolerate the mediocre graphics...

People who don't live in the US sure do think about the US a lot. Kind of like black people always thinking about being black. Hmmm makes you wonder.

Oh boy... you are about to go on a very long walk if you keep that questline going. Did you board the ship too, or just engage them from your ship?

I boarded the ship and talked the pirate leader, who let me wander around, and then every pirate NPC kept repeating the same dialog line over and over, at which point I quit the game.

Can I explain something, because you are an ok guy and I think things got confused. Non-Edgy was referencing the article being written by chatgpt. The oldfag you quoted also was speaking in regards to the article as well. Its these words under the picture (i reposted it) that were being referenced as either AI or a stupid American.

Haha amazing. I busted these white criminals and the black security guard went to where I told him to go and he just stood there, staring at me saying "thanks for the tip" over and over and over. I came back about a few in game days later to do another quest and he was still there standing guard.

That woman CITIZEN folded in half like a lawn chair. :-D

At least ragdolls are one thing that mods are very likely to fix eventually.

I saw something even more hilarious. Once, during a rescue mission where I had to save some hostage, I went to the quest marker, but there were no NPCs there. Suddenly, I saw one falling from the ceiling, then running to the location at max speed, just like a cartoon character like Road Runner. When he reached the spot, he immediately laid down and assumed the injured pose while telling me how badly hurt he was, such immersive game...

It sounds nothing like spoken English. It sounds like stuff Indian guys I've worked with say all the time. The words make no sense.

"The game world, which has been celebrated in recent days with Baldur's Gate 3, will take place on September 6, as expected for years."

The game world? Has been celebrated? Will take place as expected? WHAT?

This is an article about an Indian poster, probably written by a foreigner.

edit: here's the original article

https://www.technopixel.org/starfields-famous-poster-has-been-stolen-from-indian-movie/

Notice the bottom of the page?

Anyway, Starfield's stuffed with “blacks and women are the future” stuff and of course LGBT prop.

But curiously it hasn't put people off.
Question, is it to the degree that it is shoved upon you in EVERY conversation and in EVERY interaction? If so, is it possible to refund a game that was received for free? Probably not I would assume.
I've been watching a few (long-ish) video reviews and the NPC “diversity” was the first thing I noticed. Almost all NPCs the player interacts with were either some shade of black or female, at least in the game review footage I saw. It could be argued that the devs just looked at real life demographic trends and are simply reflecting that. Or it could all be an expression of Todd Howard and the writers' race and gender-based fantasies. I think the latter is more likely.

Oh... he is asking the player to do something illegal. This time, unlike the last two white guys who wanted me to commit crimes, wanted me to blow up his missing ship and everyone on board. I am not really playing that type of character but I wanted to go see what was going on. I jump across the galaxy and speak with the pirates who had taken over his ship. I docked on the ship and got into a gunfight after failing a speech check to negoitate. I am not the type to save scum so I went ahead and wiped them out. Then I found this note addresed to the last guy the gov of Mars hired to perform this task.

I am feeling a bit demotivated at this point that the 3rd white dude who was a quest giver would be protrayed yet again (40 hours played or so) in such a negative light but I must continue on. Oh lord, whats this? A woman dressed in civilian clothes, clearly not one of the pirates I put down, is lying on the ships floor, dead. She has a note... This is the woman he had been having an affair with. She was so consumed with guilt and shame that she decided to commit suicide.
starfieldicide.jpg


To sum it up. The white man in charge of mars, had and affair with a woman who would go on to steal his ship and leave the area. He hires the player after his last hire botched the job. He wants the player to kill everyone on board by destroying the ship. The woman he was fucking on the side hated herself so much for it she stole his ship, forgot to put gas in it, and commited suicide after having drifted for a time.

Also, if you decide to just blow up the ship without boarding it, and you loot the ship from your own ship, you will loot these two notes. So the quest designers makes damn well sure you know about the dirty laundry of the white dude before you leave. I know this because when I left the ship after having cleared it, I decided to destroy the ship. Well I got a duplicate copy of the notes I found when orginally boarded the ship. This is my second half hour of play today.

You can turn him into the white head of security and then he gets arrested and the white head of security, a respected war veteran, takes over his post.

I am making sure to mention it here because you will leave out any details that go against your narrative, of course. So you will never mention the completion of your tale.

The black administrator you brought up earlier, is also portrayed as lazy, selfish, and uncaring about the workers. While the quest giver, a white guy with an australian accent who is the head of the miners, has you do stuff to go around him and get new tools and equipment approved for the miners to improve safety and productivity.

This was all literally stuff I already brought up as examples of white characters portrayed positively.

about half the characters you interact with are women, for obvious reasons. And no one ethnic group is a majority, so every ethnic group is a minority and most characters are not of that ethnicity if you only look at a single ethnic group.

This nonsense from culture warriors looking to find something to complain about is extremely tiresome, and very false. And then you get people who have never played the game repeating it as if it were true.

The worst thing about this game's combat are the space suits.

Space suits are not power armor. They're space suits. One puncture and you're done. And if you're in an oxygenated environment, why are you wearing them?

The same with the hull of whatever space ship you're running around shooting grenade launchers on.

There is a mechanic where if you take too much damage, your suit no longer offers protection from environmental hazards. I didn't realise this until I got frostbite, severe burns, and lung damage all at once.

It's generally pretty trivial since your suit repairs as soon as you're out of combat, but in some of the lengthier combat-heavy quests it can become a consideration.
