games

thats funny

that quest never really

made a lot of sense to me

like

I didn't get it since I was just googling new vegas rapists for my epic meme

well like

the quest itself is fine

but the conditions around it of

selling people to the fiends

doesnt really make much sense

maybe i dont remeber it entirely

Elaborate

i havent done the quest in

years

but you find teddy bears and stuff

Yeah

and the game implies like

oh theyre taking children

and selling them to the fiends!

but like

dont they live in west side?

it just never made sense to me

they lived in west side

then took people from

the refugee camp

then went to the fiends

MANY times

maybe i dont remeber the map right

but areotech isnt right next to westside?

Is it a long trip

i mean

it felt longer in my head

i guess i didnt remeber it right

aerotech was closer to 188 trafing post

in my head

always struck me as a weird quest due to how far it is of a trip

with kids too

i mean hell even then

the fiends dont exactly ave a strong hold on that side of vegas

its closer to vegas proper than i thought

Imperator Rome is officially dead. Spooky might be the only one who cares

thyat's weird

I was about to post the exact same thing

I was listening to this podcast thing they put out last week

wtf is wrong with Paradox

between IR getting canceled, and them pushing out that EU4 update that proved they don't have a QA team (which they admitted)

and bitching about how people don't buy their non-grand strategy AA games (because they're shit)

I'm worried there's no one left with a brain at Paradox

You have any speculation what their plan is Porygon?

idk, the Stellaris 3.0 "Dick" and Nemesis DLC was kind lack luster/ kinda problematic. No where near as game breaking as EU4 though but IDK what the fuck paradox is thinking

That success and failure video did pop across my youtube recommended. Didn't watch it, anything interesting from it?

I'd say it's surprisingly straightforward, which itself just created more questions

does it just talk about imperator or?

corporate-speak only

I forget if they listed it when talking about games that underperformed

they were mostly bitching about their AA games, like Empires of Sin or that Mars game

aren't those all half baked though

like the Empires of Sin looked neat but really lacking and... idk... just... not really thought through

yeah, pretty much

it's the definition of a AA game to me

guess thats paradox though

maybe 10 years ago it would have been good enough to play

put out lacking half baked things and dlc the shit out of it to "fill it in"

EU4, Stellaris, and HOI4 are all big enough to "warrant" development

IR and CK3 were borderline

with stellaris they flat out said around the update that they where gutting the population growth to fix the lag, which is counter productive so some of the other update features.

and

reduces lag and stuff

but doesn't really fix anything

I hate blaming their engine, but with as many devs as they have, I don't understand how their games all barely run

and makes the game feel awful to a lot of people

well

idk about ck3, but stellaris is still single core

or mostly single core

I have zero desire to play more CK3 because it's still full of bugs and systems that are half-baked and EU4 is thoroughly fucked at this point

CK3 ran "better" until you get big

and paradox code/makes things in the most ass backwards ways that don't help with lag

EU4's problem has always been every update makes the game run worse, and you have to disable saving and pop-up text if you want a chance for large empires to not lock up the game
