Fair criticism, I personally was bugged out by The Witcher 3's movement system and it annoyed me the entire playthrough, I don't know about "hated", that's a strong word, a bit of an exaggeration, even a bit hipster if you may. If you're looking to play a game just for the movement, I guess play Journey or smt.
Difference being the Witcher 3 added in an optional, more responsive movement system when people complained. It's not that I'm looking for games just based on movement, it's that Rockstars games are actively made worse by how unresponsive and clunky the movement is.

Rhonda has got a nice body. :love:

Screenshot from the recent stream.
I actually do prefer Rhonda and Eve over the rest of the busty crowd in the game precisely because they stand out.

Ah, there's one thing DC majorly fucked up though: her soles and palms should have brighter colored skin. That's something a lot of artists don't get right.

Fair enough lad. I wouldn't say it's clunky though, I'm certain it's at least intentional considering how they doubled down for better or worse. That whole grounded (perhaps overly so in RDR2) game design, although I do persanally think they peaked in GTA 4 hehe.

Though I am hopefully it'll be more responsive this time around in GTA 6.

How is someone's statement of their own opinion about Rockstar's choice of walking in GTA5 and RDR2 even remotely hipster, let alone an exaggeration? :unsure:

Why?
How does the status of a thread on a pirate forum affect Patrons? Do you think the people giving DarkCookie money come here to check progress while they sit at (and pay for) the source?
"Here on Patreon I have access to the creator's feed, the community tab, links to the streams on Picarto and the Discord server, yet better check this unrelated forum how it's really going"
It worked 2 times on Icstor

I wasn't talking about the opinion itself my dude, but rather the you know; "I don't like the movement alone therefore I hate the entire thing". (he hipster thing was just a joke, hence the "if you may" lol). Don't get me wrong though, I understand the sentiment, it is not unreasonable that someone can be so ticked off by a one thing it distracts from all the good since we naturally look for the negatives first (heck, look at this entire thread), but I guess it just seems overly exaggerated to me, because it's a bit needless to hate a whole game based on a single aspect, especially when there's much more to it than that one aspect. You feel me bro?

It's not unreasonable, given how much of both games is on foot as opposed to in vehicles or on horseback.
Relatively simple things can often be a far bigger bone of contention depending on how much of a frustration they become.

I find it annoying and stupid, but not enough to ruin my enjoyment of them. To each their own.

You feel me bro?
Might have done if you hadn't thrown that "bro" in there...

No, it didn't.
Milfy City getting the abandoned tag here, was completely unrelated to ICSTOR releasing updates afterward, and that's based purely on how long between the abandoned status and the next update for both occaisions.
The first two times when f95 put the abandoned tag he made dump a update and made a statement right after the tag was put on place

Has there ever been a public statement from DC regarding the missing updates and the missing content?
Nothing has happened so far this year or am I wrong?
Does DC actually still have paying Patreons?

Lol, what is he? Some politician or Youtuber that's gotten into hot water? The only statements he makes are on patreon and those aren't public. We only receive updates here by the grace of people actually willing to pay here.

Check the rest of the thread and see for yourself. If you're actually interested in it, that's the least amount of effort you can put in.

Fo-sho.

Are you a DC fanboy or kind of a mod from him? Sounds like.

Honestly, neither would matter in this case.
Producing another pre-tech update would likely take them a few weeks, possibly even less. So it's not like with ICSTOR, where people questioned, if he did any work at all. DC usually streams 5 times a week and is producing content, much of which could be released.
That fact alone makes this whole discussion even more tiresome.

Back when DC released these small pre-tech updates, some said they weren't worth it. Now when DC says, he has stopped releasing these small updates to focus on the bigger one, some people (I'm sure in some cases even the same people) demand an abandoned tag.
As long as the real tech updaten isn't out, anything DC does will be criticized anyway. If he'd release a small update now, I'm sure some would claim he'd only do it to avoid the tag.

Well, you asked questions and you got your answers?

DC has talked about it several times, it'll take time. No, nothing has been released this year, and yes, his patron numbers are pretty much constant.

There is an old saying in my language: Der Ton macht die Musik. (The sound makes the music.)
The person could have answered the questions sensibly.
And because his answers came across as very stroppy and annoyed, I assumed that criticism of DC was not allowed and that's why I called him DC fanboy.

And seriously, you can't expect people to search through thousands of pages to get the right answer to their questions.

Anyway, thank you for your direct answers.

Is there an old saying in your language about lazy people wanting others to spoon feed them and how they just grow fatter and lazier until they are useless to anyone, including themselves?

You don't need to search through thousands of pages.

Just skim over the last few or use the fancy dancy Search box provided on EVERY single page of this website. If you set it up by following my suggestions in my signature - you'll almost always find your answer in the first page of results (20 or fewer posts to skim through).

Would take you 2-3 minutes max. It's not like it hasn't been mentioned before.

Or, better yet - is it "abandoned" -- go to summertimesaga.com/news and see that there are patreon posts and more ... answers your question.

something that just crossed in my mind : Instead of changing things to widescreen that is gonna take forever to complete, i would prefer that DC added Voicelines for the characters. i don't mind with 4:3 aspect ratio, honestly.

Voicelines? You mean voice-over actors? Won't happen - but if it did, how would you feel if your favorite waifu's actress had a voice you couldn't stand? It's different if v/o work starts from the beginning, doesn't allow people to set their own expectations. Look at what happens when actors are cast in roles in movies/tv shows that are completely different than what fans expected.

I'll go to an older movie as an example - casting Tom Cruise as Lestat in "Interview with a Vampire" was a controversial choice (especially when author Anne Rice had pictured Cher or David Bowie in the role at one time).

Also, the 16:9 is to make better use of the screens of phones rather than wasting all the space, as well as other aspects of changing the display ratio. Android players are a huge chunk of DC's current fanbase and the marketshare for that will only continue to grow larger, when compared to computer players.
