For those of you using a VPN to play, what's the trick to getting Origin to work with you? I'm VPN'd through South Korea, and the game shows as launched in Origin. But the play button is still inactive. I've tried both the update game and repair options, but still nothing. What's the secret?

Change language in origin, close it. change your computers region in the time & date settings (change it to malaysia or something), re-open origin and you can lcick the play button.

There's an easy-mode that gives you plugins that literally do the combat for you. You can disable the ones you don't want to be on autopilot if you want.

You can auto dodge, auto fire your little gun-pod, auto attack and there's some other ones that are customizable as gently caress. So if you don't want your index finger to fall off from mashing the pod-machine gun fire, put it on easy and it'll auto-fire.

If she's supposed to be drunk, seems fine. Actually a fairly decent "drunk" animation, the only way it would be better is if she had to brace herself on the rail behind her. If it's supposed to be literally anything else, it's just par for the course ME:A

I dunno people endlessly rip on Witcher 3 for its chauvinism when it in fact has probably the most human romantic relationships I've seen in a game so I'm kind of leery of people who've never played a game judging how it handles gender and romance.

I think people are still leery of the series because of how poorly the first game handled those issues. Second game was an improvement, but literally one of the first things you see is titties so it was still a bit ehhhhhhhhhh

The first two Witcher games have some really weird issues around sex as you might expect a writer's self-insert masculine man with a magic dick might have. The third game kind of spins this on its head and you get some genuinely hilarious moments if you say, try to be a player and sleep with both Triss and Yen, for instance.

The meltdown after release was so bad that Duke threads were forbidden in games.

It was also released by Gearbox, goddamnit.

The Early FPS thread is the Duke thread, home of the king. Also DNF was underrated, pretty fun little shooty adventure. Can't top the classic style of FPS level design though, luckily they got Levelord and Allen Blum doing that style again in the recent Duke 3D World Tour.

The second game is really good regarding Triss, but the side character sex is just awkward. "Oh thank you for saving me from a rapist who was burning us alive, wanna gently caress?" Or Philippa's Lesbomancy scene.

Yeah Triss' romance was super good and handled like a real relationship but every side piece Geralt got was pretty...strange. Especially the one with the elf right outside the Dwarf city.

I just chalk it up to Geralt has no STDs so women wanna bang the poo poo out of him and roll with it.

I like the part where they meet up in Skellige and just kinda chat and Geralt gets flirty but Yen tells him to shut up and pay attention to what's going on in the scene, but you can tell from the VA and the animation that they're gonna bang later and then without any fanfare they do. Like actual humans in an actual relationship. Or when Triss is tipsy and it's really obvious she's super into Geralt without having to bring it up directly, and it feels lovely to reject her when she makes an obvious pass at Geralt. In fact this is all done through animation; because her pass is not-so-subtly falling into your arms after a tipsy walk in a fountain and you reject her silently by putting her down. Again, the characters never discuss their relationship at all in this scene, but it's instantly understandable and you relate.

Maybe some people related to awkward I-really-like-your-accent stammering, I dunno.

edit: Philippa is an entitled moron with too much power, that's what's going on in those cringey sex scenes. Her girl toy is playing her for a fool and she's dumb enough to be ostentatious about getting dunked on. It informs how fantastically stupid her plans turn out to be.
