What were the loading times on your laptop? Building a new computer with better hardware will certainly help with loading times, as I said before, I'm using a HDD and my loading times are <30 seconds. You could try just getting a HDD first, then getting a SSD later if you're unhappy with the load times.

Near instantly. 5 seconds?
Well I guess if that's what you've come to expect every time. I'm fine with a anything under a minute. But if you're only fine with 5 seconds or lower you should keep the SSD. I still think you could save money by just not having it though. The performance hit is worth it if you want to save money, especially given it only happens when you turn your computer on.

Yes, it is good enough.
No, it isn't. Players should have to send requests in order to duel other people. Period.
And you already answered yes when you decided to play the game.

It's obviously not broken though, it's intended by the developer.
Intentionally broken is still broken.

Also, mods are fucking retards in any case.
The invasion process works how the developer intended it too, that's not broken by definition. It may look broken because you thought it should do something else, but for its intended purpose, it isn't broken.

You're saying invasion as a concept should be removed from video games altogether?
Yes, if it works like it does in Dark Souls. NPC invasions are okay.
That's a strange opinion to have.

The civilization series is built on invasions, it's intentional, it's an interesting and entertaining game mechanic.
Except it's not, because human beings are involved. They could have built the entire thing around NPC invasions instead, and it would've still made sense. But no--they have players do it, too. Terrible design.
The whole point is for humans to beat each other. You are given multiple ways to do it, one of them is invasion. And invasion is honestly the most entertaining one of them all. It's the most involved, and most strategic, and one of the most fulfilling methods of winning. If it's entertaining, involves the players, and requires them to think for their victory, I'd say that's pretty good game design.

You've consented to that gameplay mechanic by playing the game.
Not good enough. The game should ask you every single time if you're okay with someone spontaneously dueling you.
Yes, it is good enough. You've gone into the game knowing this could happen. You've already answered yes by playing the game.

Or mod it.
LOL

It's not my job to fix a broken game. That's the developers' job.
It's obviously not broken though, it's intended by the developer. If you feel as if it shouldn't be there, but the developer feels it should, it's up to change it how you see fit. Also, there is most likely already a mod that does this, all you've got to do it download something or change some file settings, not difficult.

Also, the word invasion implies it's not meant to be the more consensual thing ever, it's an invasion...
Exactly. The very concept shouldn't be a thing in a video game.
Even you must see that's a pretty silly statement. You're saying invasion as a concept should be removed from video games altogether? The civilization series is built on invasions, it's intentional, it's an interesting and entertaining game mechanic.

If you've made a conscious decision to play a game where you could be matched with anyone, despite not wanting to do exactly that, then you've only got yourself to blame.
This logic would work if Dark Souls was exclusively a PvP multiplayer game, which it's not. Maybe someone wants to play the single player online experience without the possibility of getting invaded. They can't do that, and that's a problem with the game.
You've still made the choice to play a game with that feature, knowing the feature exists and could happen. You've consented to that gameplay mechanic by playing the game.

It doesn't matter if the gameplay is exclusively PvP or not, the logic holds. Don't want it to happen? Don't play the game, or play it in a manner that prevents it from happening. Or mod it.

Also, the word invasion implies it's not meant to be the more consensual thing ever, it's an invasion...

This is called "victim blaming," and it's bad. Don't do it.
No, it's not victim blaming. If you've made a conscious decision to play a game where you could be matched with anyone, despite not wanting to do exactly that, then you've only got yourself to blame. You deserve no sympathy.

What's entitled is choosing to play a game where it is meant to be possible to play with anyone, and expecting it to be how you want it.
Wow, I expect games to be fun and enjoyable. How fucking entitled of me.
Then play games you will enjoy instead expecting all games to fit your definition of fun. Also, that is sort of entitlement.

I only have a 1TB HDD, and my OS loads quickly. <30 seconds.

My desktop has an HDD as well but after getting used to my laptop's SSD I can't go back.

What are you planning to store? Have you got a lot of media you'd prefer to save? I honestly think 3TB is overkill unless you've got a lot of media.

I have a lot of media, yeah. Games, thousands of photos, many many movies and videos.
Fair enough.

Yeah, for my OS.

Hard drive space is always a good thing to have.

A HDD is perfectly fine for your OS, a SSD is not required.

Is it not overly entitled to join a game where you can be matched with anyone, by design, and expect to matched with those only you consent with?
There is absolutely nothing "entitled" about not wanting to play with other people when you're not fucking asking for it.

That's, like, the exact opposite of entitled.
But you are asking for it, by playing the game when it's intentionally possible. What's entitled is choosing to play a game where it is meant to be possible to play with anyone, and expecting it to be how you want it.

As I said before, play specific modes where you get to decide, or don't play.

I think you're overestimating the impact VR will have. The ability to rape has to be programmed in, just like right now. Only niche games will have rape in them, just like now.
Im talking about true VR, if we can interact with everything in everyway, like we can right now. You cant simply make someone not do something, instead you need to make consequences.
I still think it will be similar to now. The more mainstream and popular VR worlds will prevent rape and other overly taboo actions through programming.

And then there will be the niche VR worlds where everything is allowed.

Except it isn't.

Overthinking simple things like "am I consenting to a game mechanic?" Is just silly.
But it isn't.

If I want to play an online game, I only want to play with people that I've given express permission to do so. If they don't have my consent, then they don't have the right to play the game with me. The end.

Games like Dark Souls violate this simple, basic ethical rule.
Do you actually think like this?
