you'd really need to develop an inhouse engine to pull off what bethesda does in a better way. that requires WAY more capital than the sort of things modders do to improve the games. Bethesda also kind of has an ace in the hole in that their market exposure is amazing. For the same reason that your game would fail theirs would always succeed no matter what they do

the problem was morrowind was great but buggy as fuck because they worked with a skeleton crew and barely made release

then they didn't give a fuck for oblivion and just kind of realized you don't actually have to try

like its really clear something is HORRIBLY fucking wrong with their dev cycle because it only takes a month for modders to retexture the entire game to not look like shit. The animations and a lot of the other awkwardness like lighting are engine related, and modders can't fix that, but like they've been using the same engine for 10 years and its had the same problems in every iteration.

and u get downvoted on reddit if you criticize it in any sort of substantial way. Bethesda gets away with this because they've managed to corner a market, but like angsty anime nerds in a bedroom can make their game better than they can at this point and it continues to weird me out that no one makes a beth game without the bethesda parts of it

i like raw onions as an ingredient but my step dad makes grilled onions by themselves and they're kinda gross :(

anime is basically child porn

i have aspirations

i had 8.4 oz of chicken breast and 12 oz of water :)

iirc having aero enabled on win7 caused me to have some input lag in winnob

easy fix tho

tf2 is a pub game

the mappers are pretty much a sampling of the game's community

most of the mappers are pubbers QED

mm might fix it but it still comes back to the problem the 6s community always had of being so far removed from the game's regular player base that trying to cater to us means you have to borderline ignore the other 2 game modes that people give a shit about.

granary doesn't have a spire

i feel like a solid third of the map being ignored wasn't intended

if you want to argue about the merits of A/D you should probably look at like edifice or something where the map's heatmap was relatively disperse

like a lot of the gayness about the gamemode came from B being really offclass friendly, more so than anything intrinsic, since there's not much different from an A/D map and a 5cp map when one team has a 2 point lead and a 5 minute server time.

why do half the textures look like they're from fallout 3?

metalworks and granary are kinda shitty to play as some classes so people rtv because pugs are for fun
sunshine is fun and people are dumb, also earlier versions might've left people with a shitty taste in their mouth about it

viaduct, as well as coalplant and gravilpit are fucking aids to play cause people offclass. if the enemy team is good at the off classes, you have to fight a heavy and sniper for 30 minutes which isn't fun, if your team isn't good at off classes, you have to play 5v6 for 30 minutes

this guy
makes a chart saying its better at killing 5/9 classes
then says it doesn't matter?
