Nope. Done for the season except the Superbowl. Eagles and Steelers both out.

What do you think the Steelers will do next, Tomlin is out and Aaron is gunna retire.

What is a chinese FMV game?

FMV = "Full motion video", old school game term for using video clips as part of game play.

Back in the 90s there were a bunch of "choose your own adventure" style games where you'd watch a video clip, make a choice, watch another video clip, get another choice, etc. Real easy to code, though the logistics of hiring a film crew and actors was a bit tough. The style mostly started to die out once graphics got past the pixel-y stage of things, and its now quite niche in the grand scheme of things.

In the past few years though, a bunch of games have been coming out of China (and to a lesser extent Korea) in the genre. Most are non-nude (there are some exceptions), and are just really badly translated date sims. Which I find weird as a genre.

There's a decently curated list of the genre over on the F site if you want to dig it up,

The best red-haired futa game with just a little more content is futanriums gate if you haven't played. It has a whole combat system and there's a ton of scenes!

Anything that has futa is an instant "FUCK NO!"

They should have never taken well past his prime Aaron. Tomlin was a shock how he just walked. I don't know of the Steelers ever firing a head coach (especially one who won the Lombardi.) So now they'll need a new coach and a new QB before next season. That's not a good thing to have to do.

I remember reading about how many companies went all in on those type of games back in the day. Movies were the most popular form of entertainment back then, so to be able to "play" a movie must have seemed like magic.
Didn't the company that made the turbo graphics blow themself up by betting on this being the next big thing?

This modern games need so much hard drive space. Kingdome Come Deliverance takes about 120GB just for the download. This will be a long night clicking "I'm not a robot".

I heard good things about that one. It's on my list of games to try once I get though my very big backlog.

What is up, people

For real man, just brought a new ssd for that exact reason
256gb is not enough to have more then one game at a time

My backlog just gets bigger and bigger and I cherrypick out low hanging fruits. My coworkers hate this simple trick.

Reminds me on early XBox times, where you could install 1-2 games games on the 80GB hard drive. Then came better times. Now the bad times (in terms of game size / storage size) are back.

GTA6 will for sure be released with over 200GB. Combined with an operating system even a 256GB SSD could be not enough. That sounds so crazy.

That is crazy! On the one hand, awesome realistic graphics are cool but not so cool If I can only fit one or two games on my rig at a time. I Might have to stop being so cheap and spring for some decent storage.

#2 is amazing

My backlog just keeps growing. And instead of picking up something from it, I just started replaying Uncharted again

Anything that would be anywhere close to 50 GB would be an "absolutely not."

 

[NoName2]

I really thinking big size game are fine. If that size can justify whit lots content and qualitym but majory game companys not optimice anything and something likec COR take over 150gb whitout any real good reason

I think the closest i got to that was koikatsu with all mods. It wasnt really worth holding that much space.

Guess I'm gonna have to be posting more, just saw how the new Bank works so I got bump those numbers up

I just downloaded the new version of Yakuza 0 off steam. The original was about 24gb. The new one is 85gb. Apparently, more than 50gb of that is just bloated cutscene duplication. There's even a mod on nexus that lets you replace most of them with 0 byte files to recover the hard drive space.

Modern games are beyond bloated since devs arent restricted by jow much space there is on a disk anymore.
