Well, better than the other kind of racism I see modders indulging in.

Unless this mod adds the N word, t’s really not. There’s a lot of racism in the elders scrolls universes that is there for worldbuilding as opposed to thinly-veiled stereotypes of real races like in Harry Potter*. Pretty much every race has issues with the others just like they would in the real life equivalent of the time period.

It’s not at all the same as other mods which add real world bigotry into the game

*One could argue that Khajiits are analogous to the Romani people but it’s a stretch

djsoren19, do gaming w Modders have really thought of everything, huh?

I mean, Windhelm is basically the equivalent of the Texas Secessionist Movement, so they’re just trying to make it accurate to the lore.

Ephera, do gaming w Modders have really thought of everything, huh?

I did feel like they went a bit light on the racism in Skyrim, too. In Morrowind, you’d get called the N-word multiple times a day.

Edit: As OP said, it’s downloads, no downvotes

I don’t use mods much, so I’m purely guessing, but could that be the downloads?

XEAL,

Ah, you may indeed be right.

VaultBoyNewVegas,

Yep. Downloads, the thumbs up is endorsements so basically one is how many people recommend it and the other is how many accounts have downloaded it.

Damn. I loved horizon, but gow… Now you’re making me want to play it again and all you had to do was show me the box. I have like 1,000 hours and ten playthroughs of horizon 1 too. Aaaa I’m trying to finish cyberpunk

How’d you enjoy the fight with Mantis? Please tell me you went into that blind.

Sadly no, too many damn lists, “top 10 details in gaming”, and other such things like that to avoid the spoilers lol. But, i sat back and enjoyed the game as not only a “game” but a little piece of gaming history and DAMN, MGS is very ahead of it’s time in style, meta references, and presentation. I couldn’t stop a big dumb grin spreading on my face when

spoilerthe screen blacked out with a green “Hideo” in the corner in Mantis’s fight.

(Mantis fight spoilers) I even loved the little deathtraps in the game, trap doors in the floor, bullshit little gun turrets hidden around corners… but my dumb ass likes Fatal Labyrinth on the Genesis, so do with that as you will XD

Nibodhika,

I imagine you played the remaster on Steam, how did you defeat him though? In the original

spoilerYou had to plug your controller on the Player 2 slot so that Psychomantis couldn’t read your mind.

And that seems hard to reproduce the feeling on a PC while still giving everyone a chance to win the fight

EVERY entry in the MGS series from ps1 onward in its entirety (minus Survive) is one of those “if only I could play it for then first time again” games.

Have you ever played them or is this your first time through the series?

Silvia,
@Silvia@lemmy.world avatar

Boldly diving into the series for the first time! I needed something different, and I figured “Fuck it, Metal Gear time. I’ve been wanting to try it for a long time. Snake was one of my mains in Smash.” lol
Anyway, obviously i’ve heard PLENTY about the series, but thankfully in casual conversation, most people dont talk about story details, so im pretty blank on twists and turns.

Cyanogenmon,
@Cyanogenmon@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah extremely jealous of that lol. Enjoy the ride, it’s a wild one.

Cethin,

In case you aren’t aware, there’s also Metal Gear (1&2) for the NES. Most people just ignore those because they aren’t nearly as good, but they’re the start of the series. If you want more, they’re there.

Silvia,
@Silvia@lemmy.world avatar

I knew about them, i tried 1 and… well, it’s a little too far back for me. I don’t care for too many NES era games, apart from a few JRPGs

birbs, do games w Wise words from Master

I just started playing MGS for the first time! When I was a kid MGS was one of those “grown up” games I couldn’t play. I picked up a copy from a retro game store a few weeks ago and finally sat down to play at the weekend. I see what all the hype is about, it’s like diving into a 90s espionage thriller. Looking forward to playing further!

Silvia,
@Silvia@lemmy.world avatar

Enjoy! :)

NounsAndWords,

Enjoy it, I wish I could go back and play MGS1 for the first time again. Such a good game.

Lesrid,

It was my first Rated M game and it set the bar impossibly high

Cethin,

When I was a kid a babysitter I had brought MGS1 and played it. It always stuck in my mind and later got me to try the series and I loved it. The portion I saw included the >!jail cell and using the ketchup to get out.!< No other game was doing things like MGS at the time.

I must have been around 5/6 at the time. Its safe to say that game wasn’t appropriate, but it really showed what gaming could be.

Edit: added spoiler tag. I hope no one saw that who shouldn’t have. I forgot that despite talking about a ~26 year old game that it’s in a thread for people just now playing it.

Felipe, do games w Wise words from Master

I’d love to able to experience MGS2 for the first time again, you’re in for a treat.

Yokozuna, do games w Wise words from Master
@Yokozuna@lemmy.world avatar

I also just re-played through this, mgs1 is a fantastic game for so many reasons. It brought me back to when games were meant to be fun and not a grind fest.

I would also like to say maybe take the downtime you have now and play through the VR missions for 2, they add a lot in when it comes to functions of sneaking and playing those will really make you aware of the tools at your disposal, that’s currently what I’m doing when I feel like it.

Dagnet, (edited ) do gaming w Yes, also a full-priced game. Why do you ask?

Watch people defend microtransactions in dragons dogma 2 even though they paid $70 for it. “but you don’t need to buy then!” and being able to customize my character shouldn’t be limited at all, literally adds nothing to the game

samus12345,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

They do suck. Thankfully for me, there was nothing to tempt me because it’s all consumable crap you can get in the game.

homicidalrobot,

It aays a lot more about someone’s personal willpower than Capcom’s greed to me. Easy to point at the greedy asks from that company, nobody else is selling a 100 USD turtle costume pack.

Piemanding,

Yeah it’s pretty greedy. They are going after the players with less willpower, which all these companies do. Seems like Japanese companies get away with it more than Western ones. I just gotta say that Dragon’s Dogma 2 is the best game I’ve played in a while and I loved the true ending. Just wish these companies had some regulation against this shit.

homicidalrobot,

It’s not limited by the DLC and you’d know that if you had done any looking into it whatsoever. You can literally, within the first hour of gameplay, access an NPC that lets you completely appearance edit as many times as you’d like for an easily obtained and infinitely renewable currency. Peoppe who want to play the game are not hindered by the DLC in that game in any way, no corners were cut to sell you anything more urgently.

It’s common knowledge that the creative designer hates MTX and chooses to put easily accessible items in the store to satisfy capcom shareholders. In later Devil May Cry, one of the purchasable mtx is quite literally packs of the orbs that pop out of every single enemy. This is unironically some of the player-friendliest MTX we’ve seen in years for single player adventure games, no actual content walled by dollar value on the disc, but people like you who haven’t even watched ten minutes of gameplay are generating infinite negative press.

Wouldn’t your efforts be better focused on actual predatory titles? There’s tens of ongoing early access titles on steam that will never ever finish, and there’s more egregious MTX schemes in capcom’s own game library. Their new IP, Exoprimal, has an obscene amount of playable content walled behind tens of hours of grind or MTX. You can make objective statements about what’s being kept from the player with titles like this, instead of propping up “I shouldn’t have to pay for customization” seeing as you literally don’t.

Dagnet,

“It’s not limited by the DLC and you’d know that if you had done any looking into it whatsoever.” Stopped reading there, cause you clearly didn’t read my comment, nice try troll.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

It’s common knowledge that the creative designer hates MTX and chooses to put easily accessible items in the store to satisfy capcom shareholders.

Nah not common knowledge.

Doesn’t matter. Call out shit when you see it. What’s really disappointing is your fanboyism to all of this.

This is unironically some of the player-friendliest MTX we’ve seen in years for single player adventure games, no actual content walled by dollar value on the disc, but people like you who haven’t even watched ten minutes of gameplay are generating infinite negative press.

Do you realize how you sound? I was originally going to mock you, but I really believe you mean well.

Don’t defend this practice.

Imagine if they put ads on the pause screen. If someone said, “It keeps video game prices low!” That’s extremely debatable. You can point to how cheap games are. You can point to how many games are made without ads. You can show data how developers don’t see a penny. You can even point to the thousands of games that were released without ads on pause screens.

Wouldn’t your efforts be better focused on actual predatory titles?

Who cares about Magical Girl mobile gacha or whatever. If Nintendo made micro transactions in a Zelda game that’s this idiotic, you bet people will shit on it. Capcom is a major game developer, and by doing this, they’re signaling to other companies that this is okay.

That’s unacceptable. And Capcom deserves all the bad publicity.

You can absolutely go, “It’s all optional it’s all easy to get you don’t have to spend a penny”… Your willingness to make it the norm is problematic.

homicidalrobot,

You don’t understand the difference between content and convenience DLC. MTX and ads are not equivalent. The game does not show you these purchases outside the store page. You’re a bandwagon rider and that’s cool I guess, but it’s clear you have absolutely no nuance when it comes to dlc practices and you’re looking for internet points via a reddit style dunk. Nobody mentioned gacha but you, nobody mentioned nintendo (MUCH WORSE COMPANY THAN CAPCOM LMFAO) but you, maybe get a few years on before you started deciding you have a clue about the industry (or most consumers!).

After a peek, you’re a reddit content reposter so I’ll be blocking you either way lmfao

@Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca avatar

I wouldn’t mind if it were priced to actually make sense.

Like why would anything cost more than $1? Or even $0.01? Just greed and stupidity.

Microtransactions for cosmetic items that cost 25% or more of the base game itself are just insane. A whole game, or 4 cosmetic items, that must have taken sooo much effort to design those items to cost so much.

Dagnet,

Eh sorry but even $0.01 is too much. Wanna make a free game and charge for micro transactions? Sure, heck, I even spent some on league of legends. But if Im paying for the game? I don’t care if its “just cometic!”, “actually a fair price”, “you can earn it in game”, all of that sounds like bullshit to me and always will.

Pyr_Pressure,
@Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca avatar

If they don’t make any money they won’t bother with microtransactions at all.

So it’s either $0.01 for cosmetic items or they don’t make cosmetic items at all because You’ve already paid for the game, and making new things just costs them money.

Dagnet,

You are set in your mind that those cosmetics wouldnt happen without microtransactions but the truth is that many games were made and still are where cosmetics aren’t held for ransom and the return for that exists in customer fidelity but ofc all AAA studios only care about immediate profit, gotta appease the share holders. As an example, witcher 3 had free cosmetic dlc.
