15 years later, it still feels like the future
>>728690553I always thought they were too optimistic setting these games so close I the "near" future.Maybe like 2230 or, 2130 if we're pushing it. Original Deus Ex was only 2050 after all.
shame they never finished upper hengsha and had to cut it
>>728690698I always felt renditions of the future like this were a sort of hopeful cope.>Yeah, in 20 years they'll have all this stuff down by the time I'm 50>I won't die before it happens
>>728690779yes, it's called optimism. back in the 50s people were so full of it they thought we'd be living on the moon and vacationing on mars by 2025.
Knowing that humanity will progress beyond my lifespan gives me a weird sense of emptiness
>>728690553And 15 years later the game is still ahead of its time. Can we even make games like this anymore?
>>728690698Nah bro they can definitely have this done in two yearsThey'll just have to REALLY crack the whip and those pillars are going to be like 80% newspaper
>>728690779>>728690839and you people wonder why 99% of your generation are depressed and hopeless
>>728690909night city should've looked like this
>Welcome home Mr. Jensen...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdqbW6MXzsI
>>728690553Mirror's Edge is 17 years old and looks even more modern.
>>728690553Deus Ex is already an alternate reality where augmentations were pioneered in 1990s, so it's not exaclty fair. Same thing with Blade Runner, which by 2010s had those massive cities you see in the moviesI like HR more than the original, and I've played original on the release
>>728690963Whole soundtrack is so perfect. The LiMB clinic, the oriental instruments in Hengsha, Tai Yong Medical.
>>728690912Ask yourself how bad things have gotten that dystopian futures in fiction are more appealing than the one we have.
>>728691039it looks how a city looked 17 years ago and still looks today what the fuck are you on about
>>728690698Being made in 2000 gave plenty of time for all that stuff to occur, but the prequel games despite taking place in the nearer future are obviously meant to be set in a different universe like they had breakthroughs and mass adoption of cybernetics in the 2010s.
>>728691132The whole soundtrack was top notchhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfsJj1VY6-4
>>728690765Maybe they'll add it into the inevitable remake.
>>728690553I normally hate the 2000s piss filter, but...
why did every game of that era had to have yellow piss filter?
>>728691095I like these alternate futures where humanity had race in different areas and they didn't stop or half assed itWhich area of expertise did OUR humanity focus on?Microchips? Telecommunications?
>>728690909Aren't certain parts of Chinese Metropolitan areas already like this sort of? I saw some video of a dude being on the "ground" then taking like three escalators down and he was still somehow on top of a building. Maybe it's just bullshit editing.
>The year is… 2027>It is a time of great innovation…>…and technological advancement.God it was so fucking sovlful. That trailer, that game, shit just made you imagine and live in the future, all we got irl is this shit.
>>728691315Until 2017, gold flakes constantly fell from God's rippling body in heaven. Everything looked like this. Since he abandoned us, the world's light went cold and harsh.
>>728690963>>728691132>>728691220Best Main Menu theme of all time and I'm tired of it being so overlooked.Sariff industries theme is just ethereal beyond ethereality.When I first heard it 12 years ago it made me feel nostalgic of how I would feel listening to it 12 years in the future, and now I'm here feeling nostalgic as I predicted it.
I was always bothered by the angle of this rifle. What is the problem? Looks like it bends upwards like some reversed fishing pole.I don't understand why it's difficult to make POV weapons sit right.
>>728691452>>728691501This shit right here, this game makes you astral travel, the art direction is just top notch, I feel like gasping when I see the color palette, the soundtrack, the dialogue and the sound effects of Deus Ex Mankind divided.It's like a painting in movement but with sound and immersive as fuck.Only other 2 games that have achieved that for me are Dark Souls 1 and Mass Effect 1.Well never get this kind of perfectly seamlessly art direction ever again now with AI fucking things up.
Back in 2011, I wouldn't have thought that the most futuristic thing of 2025 would be AI that makes porn for you.
>>728691624Cute baby
>>728691452>The year is… 2027Lmao does the game really open with this? God, where are our technological advancements??? I want to see niggas in the ghetto boosting black market augs and shit. If THEY can afford them, you know us white collar salaries types will be rolling in enhancements. No more small penis syndrome.
>>728690909Corporations won‘t invest in anythig that won‘t make them Huge amount of money. So doubt they invest into housing or sanitation. So nothing more would be build.
>>728691501The mood of the soundtrack felt like a mix of melancholy and optimism? Idk, hard to nail down a feeling. Impending and unstoppable progress, warts and all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67IuaDiC0LI
>>728690698China, Singapore and Japan look like this already.It's your shithole that is 50 years behind
>>728691769+ with shades of man becoming God and a massive and terrible ambition. the limb clinic ost esp. felt churchlike.
>>728690956Damn shame Night City didn't utilize its rooftops, or had almost any verticality. Almost all buildings had collision.
>>728691205You're just a bitch
>>728690553Future is piss filter?
>>728691853I forgot how much I liked walking around (virtual) Detroithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NE9Xx9F9bzk
>>728691402you're thinking of chongqing and yeah the verticality of that place is almost on par with OPs image, desu there's a lot of places in china with architecture that looks straight out of fantasy
>>728690909They're getting there.
>we'll never get Jensen's third game to finish his trilogy because of publisher mismanagementIt's so unfair
>>728692009I'll never stop waiting.
>>728691990There is something kino about retarded infrastructure like this.
>>728691769hearing this and remembering human rev for the first time is so fucking blackpillingI remember when I was working on my bachelors in astronomy I realized things like hyperdrives and FTL travel is impossible and shit like mining asteroids and living on space colonies and getting to see the rings of saturn up close is nonexistent because of how fucking big space is and how hard it is to get thereI finished my degree, but FUCK having real scientific irrefutable proof that all the cool shit I thought would be possible when I was a kid was never ever going to happen in my lifetime or my children's lifetime or their children's lifetime was violently depressing
tfw no action packed trip to detroit with my 550lb wife
>>728690698No reason for two layered cities to exist, it won't happen even in 2230
>>728691990This only sucks because everything is made of chinesium/goldeneye and could explode at any moment.
>>728692175Your children and your children's children will eat onionshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbHy2m9_TfU
>>728692175What about negative mass for light speed travel?Wormholes?There's gotta be an answer
>>728691990This is my nightmare. I'm terrified of heights. To the extent where even being in a tall building terrifies me. I almost turned down a job once because it was on the 12th floor.
>>728692175Apart from looking at further and further stuff with larger and larger telescopes isn't all of astronomy just super insane theoretical physics though? Maybe they'll figure out how to tickle your butthole just right and fall through into a different galaxy.
Remember when everyone was forced into install a new chip so their operating system could run and it was just a trojan horse to launch a cyberattack against the public?hahacrazy right
>>728690839>they thought we'd be living on the moon and vacationing on mars by 2025we would be but they sided with kikes over Hitler
>>728691402Oh this
>>728692103>that>retardedTry that in America.
>>728692529Imagine how kino this will be as an overgrown ruin once civilization collapses in 200 years.
>>728692529>filenameToo close to home.
>>728690698There was visible progress every year from the 2000s to early 2010s. While optimistic, it wasn't conceivable if things continued as is. Problem is that after 2015, we stagnated
Why do OG Deus Ex/ old school imsim fans always mock this game?I played Deus Ex 1 after Human Revolution and other than it being more freeform, it felt like a downgrade in every other aspect.Almost every conversation in the original feels like it was written by armchair conspiracy late 90s forum posters who watched one too many political thrillers. Characters have no nuance and are more like ideology dispensers. Other than things like GEP, Dragon's Tooth or sniper, the gunplay is boring and merely functional.It's supposed to be a cyberpunk world, but it looks super generic in terms of visuals.It's still a very good game, but HR is all that + enticing characters, visual motifs and quality of life improvements.
>>728693112Because old good, new bad.
>>728693112It was at a time where video games were just barely touching upon "serious" storytelling in their games and also the cultural environment of the internet where you saw it and other media like the Matrix philosophize about the future of technology.
>>728692529Impressive.
>>728690553We already live in a cyberpunk dystopia, just without all the random 45 angles/honeycomb UI design.
>>728691916Realising I could move around via rooftops once I got double jump and dash was exciting for approximately ten minutes until I realised there was nothing up there except the occasional crafting component.
>>728690553after the tutorial I fooled around too much in the building where you are about to be sent to your first mission. Then eventually the game told me the mission failed. I quit and deleted, I can't work under that level of stress.
>>728691835China, Singapore and Japan do not have cities with a second layer suspended over the original city HTH
>>728692103It's not retarded. The whole city is built on a bunch of steep mountains. Such elevation changes are a necessary solution, not something that was done on purpose.
>>728692375You sound like that zoomer that gets a panic attack from just being in the woods.
>>728693618And the option of building a city somewhere else was not taken because..?
OG or Director's Cut edition?
>>728692529This looks so confusing to me. Imagine having to find an adress in a place like this.
>>728693732Fear of heights is an unc's phobia, zoomers don't even know what height is because they never leave their appartments
>>728693810Yeah, dress shops could be anywhere in Chongqing. Not to mention the language barrier.
>>728693762Because it's China. Every other place is either already taken or even worse.
>>728691694We have ai slop and better phone rectangles instead
>>728690553https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVyueDbGVLE
>>7286905532011 was pretty good.
>>728690553Brings back good memories, perhaps I'll play it again.
>>728690553>>728690698>>728690779>>728690909>>728691039>>728691452Observer lands very closely to what it'll actually be like, in 2084.
>>728694245It feels like gaming started to get worse after the PS3 era.
>>728694010>third largest country in the world>we're running out of space, better build a city on a mountain range!
>>728694365you are so smart, would you like a cookie?
>>728693112the simplification of systems in human revolution compared to the original is one of the gripes i have with it. comparing the process of taking down someone non-lethally with melee between the two games illustrates this point pretty simplyin the original:>need to dedicate an inventory slot to the baton/prod>must strike the correct part of someone's body to knock them out in one strike; around the belt area or the neck of NSF troops as an example>baton is only a realistic option when undetected; trying to incapacitate someone trying to kill you is a death with>prod can more easily be used in an active engagement as well as to dispatch hardier foes such as the men in black more easily, but it requires limited ammo to use>dedicated melee skill to invest into if you still want to dispatch later game enemies non lethally in a single melee strike>one of the augment canisters either gives you increased melee strength or the ability to carry heavier objects; a decision must be made on which you want to usecompare all of this to human revolution:>press q; wait a few seconds before you can press it again>optional upgrade lets you knock out two enemies in one takedown>can be performed in combat with no additional costthe way it works in human revolution is more intuitive and simpler to pull off, but that also has a side effect of making it a much less compelling system to engage with.i still enjoy both games, but i just prefer the original partly because of how alien/unique it is relative to human revolution, which is more polished but also plays it safe to a disappointing degree>>728693428unironically one of my favorite parts of the game. it never happened to me, but i was fucking cackling when i saw other anons talking about the hostages getting gassed while they dicked around in the women's restroom
>>728690698original deus ex was way more grounded with billionaires withdrawing from society and leaving public spaces to rotHR is an interesting take on the initial aug boom and how it looks at the heart in detroit, but it's still way more futuristic
>>728691452>corporations have more power than the government
Mankind Divided is only gonna get dumber with age.>Aug lives matterAlready aged like expired milk, 2014-2024 is a black hole decade.
>>728691039>This shit right here, this game makes you astral travel, the art direction is just top notch, I feel like gasping when I see the color palette, the soundtrack, the dialogue and the sound effects of Deus Ex Mankind divided.It's like a painting in movement but with sound and immersive as fuck.shit taste
>>728694909unrealistic and impossible. literally fiction.
>>728690839We would be if civil rights never happened
>>728692529its like a city tailor made of overworked corporate slaves to jump off of buildings once their 18 hour work day is over and trains going through their apartment building on the other side of the cardboard and plaster bedroom walls of their 15 m2 apartment keeps them awake
>>728694010>>728694365They don't mind deleting mountains
>>728690839They were optimistic because they thought the good guys won
>>728694329It really did. I mean criticize the PS3/360 era for its formulaic approaches and muddied out artstyles but the PS4/ONE generation is basically defined by the hyperfinancialization of games through microtransactions, live services, external paid services (PSPlus/XBL Gold/NSO), a massive increase in the time to develop games, culture wars, matchmaking algorithms, remasters & remakes...
>>728695961Ok that is just a fucking eyesore, why not make a tunnel??
>>728692478That shit in the game hit so hard, it made me super paranoid in real life when it comes to technology.
>>728696214>a Chinese tunnelAnon if you want to be buried alive, there's easier ways to do it.
>>728693618Literally filled with anti soul gas.
>>728696214It's probably way more expensive and requires more maintenance
>>728690698Saudis wanted to do this kind of shit in the middle of nowhere.Turns out it's a logistical nightmare
>>728696583It's even happened IRL once. Kids in Lebanon will never trust technology because of the pager bomb thing.
>>728696840It's amazing that they are so retarded to even conceive this projectThey have endless money and no moral boundaries, they could be making anything they imagine, and this is the bullshit they imagine.
>>728696840A city being a straight line is bad logistics even if one was magically created tomorrow. The most efficient form of city would probably be like a termite hive. Every floor is connected.
>>728696958A sphere might be even better if you want to minimize the distances between points.
>>728696840this is just a retarde design from the get go regardles of technological level
>>728697068The question of cooling rears its head if you make things too dense, though.
>>728694365most of China's land area is mountains, deserts, or jungles, yes
>>728691638kekThis reminds me the "how does this affect you" people. Or the "the anti-woke are just as bad as the woke" people. Or the "I don't care about politics" people.
>>728697354>deserts>No space
>>728696958afaik the point of the city was to have trains going through the middle at extreme speeds so you could get to anywhere on the "line" in a similar amount of timeits still retarded, but imo mainly so because they built it in the middle of a fucking scorching, desolate desert and that it just HAD to be a line and not say, a circle.
Ironically enough our AI technology is more advanced in 2025 than in the original deus ex in 2050.Why did people used to think AI technology would take a long time to develop?
>>728697409start building then
>>728690909what do they eat?
>>728697430It's not an intelligence
>>728691315Yellow as the thematic colour of human revolutionAlso makes sense for cyberpunk china to have piss yellow air from the pollution
>>728691315accidentally predicting the ChatGPT piss filter
>>728697498You mostly find noodles and ramen everywhere. Also energy bars and shitloads of beer.
>>728690553>2027 is 54 weeks away
>>728697549It's smarter than the AI seen in the original deus ex. Consciousness isn't the point. They weren't in deus ex as well.The point is that these sci-fi settings all have outdated renditions of AI equivalent to what we had around 2016.
>>728697478Already done.
>>728694365China has like 100+ cities larger than Chicago or Los Angeles, cities you have never heard of and probably never will.
>>728697739now do it without one of the world's largest hydroelectric dams 10 feet away
>>728695961are those beehives on the left slope
>>728697739where does the water come from?
>>728698053my peanus weanus :)
>>728691343social media and analytics
>>728698018holy retard
>>728690698>I always thought they were too optimistic setting these games so close I the "near" future.Anon, Cyberpunk 2077 literally has flashbacks where Johnny Silverhand has a fully robotic cybernetic arm in 2023. Because the story the game is based on was written in 1983. So yes, "optimistic" is certainly a word for it.
>>728695961at the end of a long friday some planner went "you know what? i've had it with this shit"
>>728691751Corporations used to literally own townshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_company_towns_in_the_United_States
>>728694365>>we're running out of space, better build a city on a mountain range!If you actually look at China's geography, it really is 95% uninhabitable mountain range. Just endless expanses of cliffs and towers of rock and valleys. The only mass-inhabitable space is on the coast, which is where their big cities all are, and then you have tiny bits of rural land that have been used for farming forever, but the problem is that because their country is all mountains and rivers, they have huge swathes of their rural farmland being lost to flooding, erosion, and landslides every year.
>>728692175You have one entire planet that you've never even seen, let's be honest, why the hell would you want to "explore" space and other planets?It's like children with food on the plate that want to order something else. it's not about the food, it's about being spoiled.Space isn't not going to fill the void inside you.
>>728698525ie
>>728698902and pop density
>>728690553Yeah
>>728694876I agree, original DE and Invisible War are really the only semi-realistic ones.
>>728695961based, fuck those mountains.
>>728695961Literally me in cities skylines
>>728693803I went Director's Cut because I could buy it, but I did hear it's got a few bugs.
>>728698902Yeah, that's what I mean. 90% of the country is just fucking mountains and rivers. And they're losing more and more land and whole towns to erosion regularly.
>>728698957insane scaling lolchinese live like sardines in a can
>>728697739All these American cities in the deserts are much more expensive to maintain and build than these huge Chinese cities in the mountains. But don't worry, they have already begun terraforming the deserts, but it will take several generations to see results.

>>728696840>>728696958>>728700527its just an investment scam m8s, don't overthink it
>>728691205the worst part about it, is that it's not necessarily worse than those dystopian works, but just a lot dumber.
>>728701162It's the dystopia with none of the hedonistic upsides.Being forced into a digital ID system where everything I do or say is tracked by an uber-government would be a lot more palatable if I could at least deep-dive VR into the most degenerate sex romps imaginable with anons from here and then discuss video games in the afterglow. Instead what's really changed between now and two decades ago besides everything getting shittier?
>>728696214it's a highway. imagine a truckdriver falling asleep and causing a crash in a kilometer long tunnel. how are you going to get to these people?
>>728701475Same way you do in first world countries, retard.
>>728690553These games were really overrated and only received well because the expectation before the controlled "leak" was so low. They were more of a love letter to Metal Gear Solid than to Deus Ex, and the devs didn't really understand what they had.
>>728701475A km is not as big as it sounds
>>728701891a KM is a 1000 miles. it's long as fuck.

>>728696840I don't think I've thought of anything this retarded even when playing city builders as a toddler

>>728694909>>728695526Governments trying to control the flow of information and no one even blinks an eye? Preposterous. Pure conspiracy.
>>728704550up your ass and to the left
>>728697739So the yellow piss filter is real?
>>728698659Because there are no indiana or niggers in space.
>>728692529>>728691402It's the geography itself. The city's built into a bunch of ravines or super steep cliffsides or something so there are multiple different elevations right next to each other that are all the "ground floor".
>>728692734You'd get eaten by the elevator or escalator monster.
>>728691624its that orange circle on the scope.fucking thing looks like the scope is pointing one way, but the rifle is aimed another.the underbarrel bit makes it worse because it fucks with the general shape to make it lopsided.
>>728703442no sir, China must grow larger
>>728690698Cyberpunk 2077's original TTRP took place in 2020.Black Ops 2 took place in 2025.We're catching up to the future, only to find we have a lot less of the cyberpunk and a lot more of the dystopia.
>>728691343Social Justice.As you can see, it's worked out fabulously.
>>728690553>HR was 15 years agoTake me back
>>728691215What cities are that clean and have those bright pastel monocolors everywhere?
>>728700435How come all the Free Palestine radical leftists never breathe a word about the occupation and colonization of Tibet?
>>728694365Chongqing was founded in 300 BC, it's two thousand years old. Back then the founders probably chose it because being in the mountains made it easy to defend, like the Acropolis.
>>728697669its pretty awesome in cyberpunk how everyone eats slop out of vending machines
>>728709147Movement fizzled out in the early 2000's when it became clear it wasn't going anywhere.
>>728690909>blow up a couple of supports with conventional explosives>city gets sector7'dSeems like a terror incident waiting to happen.
>>728709147The west isn't occupied by tibetans like it is with muzzis.
>>728694678A lot of that is stupid though. Like inventory juggling is pointless if you're actually going for nonlethal because you won't be bringing guns so who the fuck cares? Trial and error gameplay for knockouts is dumb, too. The idea that your ability to exert more force is limited to exclusively either striking or carrying is dumb, too.The stuff you bring up to praise it just comes across as really forced contrivances.
>>728691343Old men are the future.

holy f*cking sovl.
>>728712184much better
>>728712184>The cyberpunk dystopia we wanted>>728712464>The cyberpunk dystopia we got
>>728697739Now's the best time to go to Vegas because it's a veritable ghost town. If I had money I wouldn't go, though. Maybe just to drive around and take pictures. Must be cool to live there (if you can afford it)
>>728705026>bright sunny day with no clouds in the desert is sun coloredYes
>>728705137Delusional. They will be forced upon you wherever you try to escape to unless you stand your ground and fight back. Stop trying to flee like a pussy.
>>728695830Out of everything the trains going through homes is what seems the most insanity inducing to me. Even if you were deaf you would still feel the vibrations everytime a train comes through.
>>728709147Because it's not the Chinese who control our politics and media and banking
>>728709147Because they are essentially leashed dogs and will only attack the things permitted by their masters. The left as it is now is the product of decades of brainwashing.
>>728714571And what have you done to "stand your ground".
>>728709490They should have thought ahead
>>728690963I listen to this very video at least every 2 days
>>728690909>>728691990>every time I try to build an organized production in line in Satisfactory
>>728709147They actually do, it's just not the flavour of the month thing.The Chinese are smart and don't use guns for their genocide.
>>728716304What are you accusing me of, exactly?
>>728690909We were close...
>>728712184Is that supposed to be Montreal? lololol
oh sweet a do sex threadhttps://youtu.be/mNjCDKDiWjs
>this is what japs thought 2040 would look like in the 90s
>>728710931We already had a wave of "invisible war was good actually", now it's time for the kiddos with nostalgia for these generic pieces of shit.
>>728718827I like to think that there is a timeline out there where humanity is hunderds of years further in technology at this point compared to now and we're just stuck in a really shitty dystopian timeline.
>>728695961This is just incredibly retarded
You guys remember back in 2011 when /v/ was down on how DX:HR was looking and then a build of the game leaked "leaked" and people played and liked it?
>>728704857>in 1000 years massive infrastructure like this will still be around -Anon, even if it wasn't, you know, "made in china/RDC", it's going to end in a landslide at the slightest tremor or rain.
>>728709147I remember a fucking gorillas ad of all things standing up against the tibet genocide. Shit was weird but I fuck with it.Too bad they have mooncrickets in their music.
>>728710662Wrong pic for that
>>728720374which one did they build first? monorail or apartment block?
>>728692175>>728698659>>728705137>>728714571I both understand the desire to just leave for a better place.But I also agree with the anon on the fact that it's vastly easier to to stop them here.If you can't summon the human spirit to retain your existence while on planet earth, and manipulators just take over your country and genocide you with browns, then how the hell do you think you will resist that, with the added complexity of colonizing mars or some other planet.
>>728713474It's not a good time to visit or live there. The hotels are desperately trying to make a profit by pushing insane resort fees and overpriced food and drinks onto you. They're not offering discounts, because discounts get in the way of their bottom line. They'd rather go under than reduce the CEO's payout.Living there is hell, property market is fucked (like most of the US), and the job market is reliant on the hotels and a little from Nellis AFB. If the hotels go under, the desert will take everything back in due time.
>>728690698>>728690779The problem with futurists is that they all think like engineers and not like humans. They imagine what's the most obvious track for tech to go down based off what's being developed in the moment, without considering social conditions, man's nature, and whether or not there's actually a market for anything. Flying cars, for example. It'd cost too much, be impossible to regulate traffic, and wouldn't really change much of anything for anyone. We will never have flying cars the way we have IRL cars. Then you have unseen things that totally skew the development of technology. A lot of old scifi has AI robots, invisible armor, full body cybernetics, but no mention of wireless tech or cloud storage at all because that wasn't even occuring to them as a possibility.
>>728692529call me a soulless hive bug person if you want but I think this is cool as fuck
>>728703275i wonder how much agent navarre's tits weigh
>>728721113>If the hotels go under, the desert will take everything back in due time.based
>>728691990This is some spec ops the line shit, you can only go down.
>>728721113>the desert will take everything back in due timewe'll have real new vegas before the next fallout game, especially a good one
>Billionaires exist>None of them can just throw 50 million at a new Deus Ex gameAnother reason why they shouldn't exist
>>728695830>Jump off the 8 floor of my office>Land on the 22 floor of of the mall.
>>728721368it does but I'd never trust stepping on the wrong brick and falling 22 stories or my apartment building collapsing with the chinese
>>728704550i need to go read blame!at first i thought this was knights of sidonia
>>728690553They sure missed on everything being orange. It’s all about those horribly white harsh LEDs now.
>>728721368I've lived in small towns all my life, but I still feel this weird urge to live in a tiny, 11th floor apartment in a big city like this, hearing all the hustle and bustle. Idk, just seems really chill. I don't need much space, only thing that stops me is the memetastic rent for the square footage you get.
>>728690553People, companies, corporations, etc. are primarily motivated by money. Those things will only happen when someone can make a lot of money off of them. Something like that will likely happen in China before it happens in the western world.
>>728723415how are those fucking things legal on car headlightsone car in the other lane and it's like flying in a whiteout
>>728723609the loud VROOOM cars, constant construction noises, and homeless schizo guy screaming every night in the street gets old real fast
>>728690779>he died a week before uploading your consciousness to an infinite existence of carefree pleasure became available to the public for freeYikes...
>>728723830Ah, the soothing sounds of the concrete jungle.
>>728723609>Idk, just seems really chill.
>>728723609If you wanna live in a shoebox do it in Japan, at least then you aren't being kept up 24/7 by shouting neighbors and fent-infused homeless and can feel safe walking the street at night
>>728723993if that ever becomes available don't do it because you never know when society will (((change))) again and update it
This game was such a piece of shit it beggars belief.Most gamers are retarded and will like anything if if the "vibes" are right. I'm currently playing The Division 1, a piece of shit game everyone touted as a 9/10 because the city is nice.
>>728725613It was fantastic, I really enjoyed it. Nobody touted the division as a 9/10 it was mixed on release.
>>728690553Still a better game than Cyberpunk as well
>>728691315The brown and bloom filters are a way of compensating for lack of good lighting solution since it would be too expensive for consoles. Vast majority of those games don't even have SSAO
>>728695961Los Angeles County have a lot of places that have freeways that cut through the mountain ranges like this, only the cut section have plants growing on them
>>728721365IRL public access to cars themselves are a product of being born in an era where human safety wasn't put above literally everything. If we had the exact same society right now, and cars were only just being invented this second, they would NEVER have entered the public sphere.>You want to give the common Joe access to a half ton vehicle capable of 100+mph? Are you retarded?
>>728722795You'd think Elon Musk would given he got himself a replica of Jensen's gun.
>>728718194>The Chinese are smart and don't use guns for their genocide.What do they use? They can't get away with mass starvation anymore either.
>>728722795>>728727057You'll get some AI slop game and you will like it.
>>728693885More like never leaving a basement if they don't know what height is.
>>728727182They imported millions of Chinese DUH.Same thing we did with South Tyrol here, we dropped millions of Italians to genocide them slowly.Now the locals are retarded and are importing pajeets by the thousands but that's a different matter.
>>728727182>What do they use?Removing access to food.
>>728692983the beauty of the hydra area is also the ladder near the Hydra that takes you up to Sif's area
>>728727182>>728727441It's also the reason why Reinhold Messner likes Tibetans so much.
>>728727441They're importing millions of Chinese worldwide, why aren't people more worried about that?
>>728727441Makes sense>>728727471How do they get away with that?
I think it’s dumb to ask why our future doesn’t look like sci-fi is dumb because sci-fi designs are usually about form over function. We’ve barely technologically advanced past the 90s aside from touch screens and internet because implementing shit like flying cars and cyberpunk cityscapes would be too costly and impractical. We might get to sci-fi level tech at some point, but it’ll be centuries from now and will be introduced gradually. We’re only JUST starting to figure out AI and robot assistants, afterall.
>>728718827>no ads>buildings made from expensive af metal or some shit able to withstand a nuke instead of cheap trash collapsing in itselfYeah right
>>728696840Oh to have infinite money and no one to tell me "no".
>>728696958oh oh oh!Let's make it a circleBut ALSO a holeSo the trains go round and round in the cityAnd escalators/elevators go up and down!Come one, someone add more dumb shit to this!
>>728727827>How do they get away with that?You hide it under five pieces of obfuscating legislation that soften the words into meaningless blurbs. China has a serious homeless problem it doesn't care to address because these are people completely shut out of all state resources thanks to the digital ID and social credit score systems. They literally have no way to rent or buy anything that isn't small-scale cash based, of which fewer and fewer things outside of grocery stores exist.This is why you oppose state-run anything and digital ID, because it always leads to punishment through denial of state-access.
>>728692478Never switched the chip because i had been watching alex jones since 2007 at that point, so by 2011 i was already a 33rd degree tinfoil hatter.
>>728725738It was shit on release and it is shit now.
>>728720446
>>728728265Anon you are so brave and contrarian i clapped
>>728698902>>728698957Think there's some places in china where little incestuous chink families live completely cut off from the world not even knowing what communism is?Like those tribals in south America or elsewhere?
>>728728913How am I contrarian when by your own admission, the game was a divisive piece of shit?You're a br*wn american and you need to stfu, turdie.
>>728712184promised fluorescent dystopia>>728712464our led dystopia
>>728692529the chinksects really are creating ant colony like structures, impressive
>>728697739>go away from the Strip>Las Vegas becomes a third world countrylmao
>>728692098Should i finally play Mankind Divided?There is no way no it has bigger sequel bait ending than Darkness 2,right?
>>728727726Because Tibetans aren't white and we are. Have you been living under a rock?
>>728727726Because I dont like white people but I like Chinese people
>>728729824Play Mankind Divided for Prague. It's kino.And yes, the sequel bait is pretty big.
>>728730812>for PragueI only know Prague from Czechstreets
>>728728124nuke in the middle.
>>728696958>termite hive40k hive cities.....
>>728696583vaxx status?
>>728723609big cities are the best place for antisocial freaks like me
>>728691039I get pangs of sadness when I think back to being a kid in the late 90s/2000s and thinking we were moving towards a future like this. Then all we ended up with was niggers everywhere and decay.
>>728693049correct/thread
Is Manking Divided worth playing?
>>728734494it's good if you're starving for games, i didn't like it in 2018 but did this year
>>728734494yes. Criminal Past alone is kino, albeit retardedly scripted.
>>728690553>10 years later still no final Jensen's story arc game
Man it's crazy to think Adam was born in the same year as me.
>>728690553Way too many black people
>>728692241so could Hengsha
>>728719743most of this building is fucking empty by the way
>>728736649it's set in Detroit, what did you expect?
>>728691487Zoomers will never understand the before times.
>>728690698Chongqing is literally almost there, complete with vertically layered cities
No other game makes my heart ache with nostalgia like Human Revolution does.
>>728695120Filtered. It was over for you before you even began.
>>728690698We would've had this future if leftist policies didn't hold back technological progress. Hell look at the pushback against AI right now. It's all "artists" from the left who feel entitled to billions over their shitty doodles.
>>728696027>>728694329the PS3 era is that one moment of lucidity elderly people get before passing away
>>728690698The future will not be this because you will not be allowed to have any of this shit. It is an anarchist fantasy at its core. The evil corporations are always the antagonist and can be defeated or held back, people retain some semblance of a fighting spirt, and everyone gets free superpowers and uses them against their creators. None of this will happen. You will just be poor and stupid and weak and helpless.
>>728727895They are never going to give you nor permit you or your progeny from having access to a flying car. You will never get that, your kids won't get that, that will be for the rich and your descendants will ride a cramped bus.
>>728690553The 80s and 90s had some cool ideas about what the future would look like. Very difficult to retain any of their optimism with the way things are going.
>>728718827>no windowsStuff like this would never be built.
>>728712464>had to use Gemini instead of just adjusting hue/tint in paint.net/gimpzoomers are done for
