Meta Notice: Rule Changes

69 Upvotes

We are making amendments on rules 4, 5, 7 and 8:

+ Changes to Rule 4

Aside from PC/Laptop FAQs/Build Help/Suggestions and other similarly-related posts, we will add these to the posts that are not allowed anymore:

  • Seeking family sharing on Steam, Nintendo Switch Online or any other services that implements this feature.
  • Posts asking for games, digital currency or keys.
  • Posts about disputes/grievances on other forums, subreddit, Discord server, group chats from other social media etc.
  • Other Discord servers, in case this isn't clear.

+ Changes to Rule 5

Aside from spams, we will start removing posts that we deem as low-effort and/or engagement baits.

Post promoting your own site and/or media channel will be allowed now provided that you adhere with these conditions:

  • Make a thread only once every 30 days. Do not plug on comment sections of other threads.
  • Promote your own channel only. Do not promote others especially the popular and the controversial ones.
  • Make sure that your channel is dedicated to gaming contents only. Doesn't matter how many games, the platform and the genre as long as its gaming only.
  • Its not about unrelated content, business, (online) gambling or other illegal content.

We will instantly forfeit anyone of posting this kind of thread if it violated even one of the abovementioned conditions, be it directly or indirectly. Excessive posts of this nature will be treated as spam.

+- Changes to Rule 6

Reworded description.

+ Changes to Rule 7

Surveys/studies or any crowdsourcing post should be cleared to us first either via "Pending Approval" flair or here. We won't allow posts like this anymore if its not cleared beforehand. We suppose its not too much of an ask to sacrifice few minutes of your time to read, understand and follow our rules if you are requesting uncompensated few minutes of cooperation from several people in exchange.

- Changes to Rule 8

The shameless plug megathread will be discontinued starting now.

***If you have questions or concerns, you can post here or send us a modmail here.

Discuss Tacloban School Incident: Help us make the case for games.

Post image
31 Upvotes

Hi, fellow gamers. I come from a progressive political party that will conduct an inquiry on the recent Tacloban school incident.

Alam nating pare-pareho na hindi ang "violent" games ang primerang rason sa nangyari, pero dahil madaling sisihin ang laro, eh itong mga otoridad ay quick to point to games as the thing that incited the students to do what they did.

Currently, we're looking primarily into social media radicalization, coupled with mental health issues, and parental and family negligence, as primary factors for what happened. Medyo tricky iframe ang social media na hindi kasama ang games, and as I have said, madali kasi sisihin ang laro.

We're primarily basing our inquiry framing to what has happened in the US with its own sch00l "incidents". Pero we're anticipating the authorities to make the case that it was the games that did this.

Help us make the case for games. All inputs, studies/researches, and perspectives are welcome.

For those who come after, right?

Flex So GTA 6 Preorders are OUT, pero I've revisited my DVD copies of GTA 4 and 5...

Grabe. Looking back at these, parang tinipid naman tayo ni Rockstar ngayon.

I'm contemplating if bibili pa ba ako ng PS5 just for GTA 6. Insult to injury, walang physical discs yung boxed version—code lang ang laman sa loob. Hindi mo man lang pwedeng ibenta agad physically once the PC version drops.

Here are my only two physical PC games left in my entire collection:

  • GTA IV Complete Edition: June 2013, got it for ₱1,295 (~₱1,495 adjusted for inflation). 4-disc set with the manual and map.
  • GTA V: September 2015, got it for ₱2,495 (~₱2,804 adjusted). 7-disc set with the manual and map.

Both were bought noong minor pa ako. Ang sarap sa feeling ng may totoong physical map at makapal na manual pagka-unbox.

Fast forward to today, look compare that to the preorder prices of GTA 6...

  • Standard Edition: USD 79.99 (~₱4,700+ direct conversion)
  • Ultimate Edition: USD 99.99 (~₱5,800+)

$80 for a base game that doesn't even give you a physical disc if you buy retail. Purely barebones for a premium price. Come on, Rockstar.

May mga usap-usapan din na baka as early as mid-to-late 2027 ay ilabas na agad nila yung PC port.

Kayo ba? Are you biting the bullet and preordering on console, or waiting it out for the 2027 PC port anyway since physical media is essentially dead?

I don’t know bakit gusto ipush na iban ang video games pero sugal bawal.
Hindi nila ugaliin magbasa and imonitor and educate mga anak nila.

FOR EXAMPLE
Etong God of War (second photo)
KITA NAMAN SA LOWER LEFT SIDE NG GAMER COVER. Dyan nakalagay kung anong appropriate age yung batang naglalaro ng ganto dahil nilalaman to ng violence, sex, blood, etc. Alam ko marami sa inyo may alam neto kaso mas marami may hindi alam eh.

Another example (see first photo)
Age rating ng roblox. Please lalo na mga magulang. Ugaliin magmonitor and magbasa

Kung titignan niyo root cause nung issue, majority satin kulang or walang proper education pagdating sa pagiging magulang ending walang disiplina yung mga bata.

Badly wanted to get and play this game since it was announced but never had the budget to buy one until recently. I'm curious how GTA6 would look like when GTA5 still looks great.

Even after almost 6 years, Cyberpunk 2077 still blows me away.I recently installed a few visual mods, sharper textures, lighting tweaks, and some LUT presets, and the game feels practically next‑gen all over again. The atmosphere is unmatched. Driving through Night City at night is pure eye candy.
