The transcripts won't be released unless they're leaked. Giving out any details about the minor he was chatting with risks exposing the victim, who is possibly still a minor. Releasing the transcripts would be an incredibly damaging move, and not to Beahm; people would almost certainly doxx the kid immediately, possibly putting them at even greater risk of harm than they would have been in to begin with.
We don't need to see them, anyway. We're not involved. We have nothing to gain from reading the details. If self-admitting to having inappropriate conversations with minors isn't evidence enough to convince you one way or the other, then I really don't see how reading a sext thread with a child will make much of a difference.
Nickmercs has always been a piece of shit. I feel like he's only ever stepped up to bat for his friends when they've actually done some heinous shit, so seeing his defense of Doc only further confirms my belief that he did it.
Nickmercs' support is an unexpected canary in this coal mine.
That's precisely the problem; they continue to support the game, in the state that it's in. Honestly, an appropriate move would be for them to officially discontinue support for the game altogether (even if that means not having a new IP to replace it with). This means turning off their official servers, and removing the ability to buy/sell inventory items on the Steam Marketplace.
Right now, Valve allows people to sell items for real money (which they take a cut from) in a game that is overrun by bots. They need to either fix the bot problem, or stop taking people's money.
The title suggests that there are files for an actual expansion, half-finished and unpublished.
Because that's exactly what this is. Click through to the source linked in the article, which is a 4chan thread. It's quite a bit more than just concept art, there are actual world map files that were extracted. The files, themselves, aren't made available, but the OP of the thread posted several screenshots of these assets rendered in-engine with a dev build of the game. There appears to have been quite a significant amount of development that was put into this unused area of the game.
That number is not the DbD team, but the Behaviour studio as a whole. DbD is their main breadwinner, but they also have several other active games that they maintain.
I mean, aren't stiff animations true to the source material in this case? The stilted nature of the player movement of the original SH games are a big part of why I loved them, because you're not some combat-trained martial artist who can backflip and parry attacks, you're just a dude, armed with a steel pipe and depression, so of course your movement is going to be less than graceful. That said, the combat still looks way more fluid than the original game, though it's not quite as action-hero-ish as the western-developed SH games were.
I'm more concerned with the visuals. It's really tough to make a judgement on them, since YouTube's compression really chews up anything with foggy graphics, but it looks kinda rough so far.
It’s also my opinion the female voice actor did an incredible job where as the male voice actor did a great job. Even in the most basic of side quests, it feels like she is giving it her all to be V in that situation whereas on the other hand some lines it feels like he’s just phoning it in.
100% agree. Male V just sounds like "generic video game man who is tough, but not too tough", where as the female V sounds like a hardened, cold bitch that you don't want to fuck with. Cherami Leigh's got range.
You can still do some slide-dash shenanigans in the current version, but it requires a few skill upgrades to really take advantage of. It's nowhere near as broken as it was originally, but it's still quite useful for zipping around the map.
Yeah, upper management at CDPR ignored the devs who told them the game wasn't ready to ship yet, but they really wanted to take advantage of the new market of players staying home and playing video games after covid first hit.
That short-sighted money grab cost them so much in the long run. It's actually insane to see CDPR's redemption arc play out after how badly they handled the launch.
I don't think anybody's forgotten, it's just that CDPR actually fixed almost all of the issues players had with the game, from performance bugs to totally revamped features and game mechanics. The game is in a much better state now than 3 years ago when that video was made; it's almost unrecognizable from its original release form now.
Ah, I misunderstood and see what you're referring to now. It looks like the way YouTube auto-truncates URLs caused the link to get mashed into the next line of text on the preview Lemmy fetched. As others mention, that's more of a Lemmy bug than anything.
