Video Game General 2: Definitive/Remastered Edition

Postal 4 is still incredibly janky, my framerate constantly chugs

@Mikey  
But, you can murder Civvie 11 in it.
 

 
Something he does contently in his videos with every new day update.

I just entered the Disgaea 6 sweepstakes on Nintendo. I don’t care for the series itself, I just think that Cerberus plush looks adorbs.

@Mikey  
Yikes.
 
@Dustcan  
Yes.

@Cyborg_pony  
It’s amazing, I know.  
Also honestly in a day like this a game like Postal 4 is sorely needed, and it’s somehow more gratuitous than Postal 2 was.

Got Stellaris (without any DLCs). Customization alone is reason I want to try it out, its something what really fit my preferences

MEANWHILE,
 
Konami has actually partnered with a western developer team called Bloober, the dev team behind the hit indie Layers of Fear 1 and 2, and the unfortunately mistimed Blair Witch video game.
 
Bloober more recently also released MEDIUM, a paranormal 3rd person detective game where the protagonist is a medium who is able to interact with the physical world and “the upside-down” version of the physical world, sometimes living in two worlds at the same time.
 
MEDIUM was ofc, inspired by the Silent Hill series, specifically Silent Hill 3. One guess what game is Konami trying to make by partnering with the dev team of MEDIUM.

Let me try to sort this mess…
 
Hasan Kahraman teased a project codenamed “Abandoned” on May 31. He made a tweet that sparked a theory that he might be working on Silent Hill. He quickly deleted that tweet.
 
Through an absolutely bonkers bizarre series of coincidences and suspicious activities by many of the parties involved, Hasan Kahraman was accused of being Hideo Kojima, similar to how Joakim Mogren was, many years ago.
 
Hasan Kahraman keeps on denying the claim.
 
Kojima has said nothing.
 
Konami has said nothing.
 
Konami now broke the news that they’re partnering with Bloober of MEDIUM fame, a game inspired by Silent Hill 3, to work on a new Silent Hill game.
 
SO. There IS a new Silent Hill in the works, but it would not be by Hideo Kojima. That would mean Hasan is on the clear? That means all of that? ALL THAT JAZZ? Was actually pareidolia?
 
DAFUQ IS GOING ON?

Fun fact, Stellaris as it is now is literally 100% different from when it first launched. And not because of DLC.
 
 
Every major core mechanic has been changed over the course of all its patches and updates. It was so bizzare to chronicle its evolution.
 
 
At any rate, I highly recommend the core DLCs and most of the race packs (necroids, plantoids, and lithoids in particular). They all add lots of depth and customization to the game. With the DLC your empire can be anything from a galatic megacorp controlling the galaxy through capitalism, to an all consuming swarm of bug monsters that literally farm sentients like cattle.

@Zincy  
I follow Stellaris development a little, so I know how things changed. I want to get some DLCs too but my Steam funds only allowed base game

@DeathCloud
 
Ah yea, I know that feeling. Once you get a little cash I highly recommend it.
 
 
Also, I really recommend the following mods.
 
NCS2- it’s an overhaul mod that adds a lot of new ship types, tightens up the combat, adds new defense structures and starbase bits, and the incredibly powerful Flagship.
 
Gigastructures- as the name implies, it adds a whole bunch of amazing mega and giga structures, as well as several new (and toggleable) end game events including a mysterious and powerful precursor race at the center of the galaxy. Also a whole bunch of new starting types such as starting on an interstellar ring world. It also has a few super weapons including the Quazi Stellar Obilterator that let’s you blow up entire star systems.
 
Planetary Diversity- adds new planets and starting types, make sure to get the “unique worlds” one too for stuff like Discworld style flat worlds, worlds that are sentient computers, and other neat ones.
 
UI overhaul dynamic- is a must, it scales the UI way better than the base game and is essential for a lot of mods.
 
 
Real Space- adds bunches of new star, nebula, and anomaly types to the game. You also need it for the gigastructures mod to work because it needs special star types.
 
 
And lastly the Beautiful Universe Real Space patch. There was a mod called Beautiful Universe but it doesn’t work anymore. But this patch adds some of the cooler elements of it to the Real Space mod.
 
 
Play a few base games first before diving into the above.

Is there a way to download Half Life 2 Cinematic Mod? I cant find any link of it anymore :/

You know that bittersweet feeling you get when you play a game you loved when you were a kid, and finally beat it?

FFX AND gen 1 Pokemon.

@Zincy  
I will check game without mods at least once before I decide to install more
 
Hardest thing in Empire customization was making names

In Civ 6, I’m working on a conquest victory. I have an entire continent to myself since it was just me and Cleo, who I killed very early on. I have the wonder that dupes all ships made and the U-Boats available, as well as the four remaining civs all declared war on me, so they are going to have to face my navy tomorrow. Too bad raiding ships can’t take cities.

@Meanlucario  

 
Real Chads win diplomatic victories without removing any civilizations. Giga Chads do it after reviving Civs already taken out.

@Dustcan  
And Mega Chad win conquest victories without fighting anyone.

@Meanlucario
 
I did that once in either V or Beyond Earth before they patched it.
 
Like, I never went to war even as more and more of the map became one color because someone else kept winning wars. Next thing I know I’m suddenly declared the winner because I was the only one to retain his original Capitol.

@Dustcan  
This is what I’m talking about. No idea if it’s still possible of if they patched it so it’s no longer possible.

@The Equestrian Zodiac  
Oh.
 
@Meanlucario  
I don’t I can do a pacifist run on most game.

@phoenixacezero  
But do you conquest through pacifism?

First alien civilization encountered is Fallen empire
