Last post by -budd- - Yesterday at 05:39:42 PMLooking forward to the optimization. Can't really go into the main city sky scrappers my FPS drops like a stone with any groups of zombies. Been playing since alpha 5. something, 1800+ hours later and I still enjoy it. Workshop will be good for folks to mod it up. Don't really play stock anymore. Once its goes full release the modlets and overhaul mods won't be far behind.
Probably the best $10 I've spent on a game

I'm sure on release I'll pick it up and play it some more - agree with the guys above it was one of the few EA games I played and that felt like a complete game and that was at least 2 years ago.
Well, don't worry, there wasn't any way to 'finish' the game until.... well, probably not at version 1 release either! Which is what they're calling Alpha 22, because the game will still be feature incomplete!
That said, they have a final roadmap which they'll be working on through the end of the year, which should fully complete the game.
Now's the time to get in, costwise, because they're running a 1 week 76% discount on Steam starting today!
Essentially what's happening is that they're going to do a new console release, as they approach the final build, which requires a higher cost point, which means they'll have to bump up PC pricing to match.
Just how much this is going to affect the amazing mod scene, remains to be determined, though I'm sure the modders will catch up eventually, with even better offerings. I just hope Steam Workshopping will be implemented at last.

Haha, that's the big difference between this example and Disney. TD: Night Country was actually high quality. The backlash to that I think mostly came from Nic Pizzolato throwing a public tantrum. I get the distaste because Night Country was a veeeeery different creative beast from the previous seasons of True Detective, but yeah it was actually high quality in its own right.

Last post by al_infierno - Yesterday at 04:02:37 PMI get your frustration, this tactic of painting dissenters as "neckbeards" or "manbabies" or whatever is extremely obnoxious. It's a lazy and toxic way to shut down discussion. Same thing happened with True Detective Night Country and, like you said, Disney, or really any IP where white men are replaced or recasted by women or POC. It's just a lazy way to shut down criticism for other creative choices with an easy shield that picks up traction on Twitter, because inevitably there *are* a few asshats who whip out a full-on swastika and make everybody else look bad.
But equating this to genocide and oppression just seems like a ridiculous hyperbole. This is a luxury hobby we're talking about, not some basic human need that spells life or death for those who are excluded. Yeah, the article is stupid and intentionally incendiary, but it's pretty tame IMO as far as "dehumanizing a target people to make them seem easier to wipe out" goes. It's pretty inoffensive ribbing, even with the "neckbeard" jab considered (which interestingly only shows up in the headline, presumably for clicks).
To me it just seems like an IP owner doing what they want with their IP, some fans getting upset about the changes (which is valid), and asshole "journalists" running with the discussion to stir up controversy for clicks. I don't see any of this as "evil," just a mixture of petty, toxic, and silly.
