  • True. Half Life 1 was awful in German. All the marines were robots. And when you shot a friendly human character they sat down on the ground shaking their head.

    Same thing was done in Counter Strike when it went commercial, making it really hard to know whether someone is crouching or dead out of the game.

    Patches to put the blood back into games were immensely popular. You’d often find them on the same sites you’d find cracks on.

    And of course the effect all the censorship had was that having the latest and greatest most brutal game was more important than having a fun game. You were the king of the schoolyard if you could give the other kids Blood.






  • What is this thread? Since I got chronically ill my insurance has paid my salary for a year and is now paying into unemployment and pension for my wife, who’s caring for me. And besides that they’re still paying for all our medical expenses despite me not paying into them anymore.

    Yeah, I had to fight for them to pay for a transport. But overall they definitely are offering a service I am greatly benefitting from.













  • After I had gotten the hang of Hellblade’s combat on the adaptive difficulty I turned it to easy by the end because killing enemies had become just a slog. Funnily enough it coincided with her getting the new ultimate sword and made the game feel much more epic.

    BTW, Baldur’s Gate 3 does difficulty very well. Enemies get better abilities and use the good ones more frequently.
