  • To plagiarise myself from an earlier post:

    The fact they’re going to use the same fucking engine until the end of time is enough for me to tap out, regardless of whether the game is ‘good’

    The whatever engine is the same tech stack thats been duct-taped since Morrowind. It’s built on code from the early 2000s, and there are things that just can’t be fixed without scrapping the whole foundation.

    You want to decouple physics from frame rate? Fuck you, the physics tick still runs off the render loop.

    You want multithreaded logic? Fuck you, the scripting and AI all run on the main thread.

    You want proper world streaming instead of 3×3 cell loading? Fuck you, the world still freezes beyond your bubble.

    You want reliable saves that don’t implode when a mod changes a record? Fuck you, it’s all still FormIDs tied to giant serialized blobs.

    You want modern animation blending? Fuck you, it’s still a Havok skeleton from the Oblivion era with duct-taped IK.

    Every ‘new engine’ is just another layer of duct tape. They can slap PBR on it, tweak lighting, and call it Creation Engine 2, but under the hood it’s the same brittle mess that’s been dragging bugs forward for twenty years.

    I’m done funding experiments built on bones that should’ve been buried a decade ago.

    It barely qualifies as a game, it’s like a recipe for a game, which only includes ingredients, but not how to bake it.

    Also, if you do manage to play, it’s basically a rape simulator lol.

    Also only white people exist because… “Historical accuracy”, while also giving all the fictional races accents based on human dialects.













  • It’s such a shame too because Disco Elysium’s world has some of the most unique and dense lore I’ve ever experienced.

    I would really like to experience The Pale, maybe as a courier, as their memories bleed into static and forget who they are, moving between Isola’s on intuition and qualia alone.

    The kinds if fucked up storytelling The Pale enables is cosmic level absurdity mixed with psychological horror. Yet the new devs will probably just make ‘le communist simulator 2.0’
