So, Harvey, what became of the giant penny?

They actually let him keep it.
I just remembered snake adopts a wolf pup and raises it as a dog on that oil rig. one character gets furious that no one else recognizes it as a wolf. it's like an episode of Chicken Boo and it's great

I've learned that people are playing Starcraft 2 with a mod that lets you use Brood War races, like you can have a matchup that's BW Terran vs SC2 Protoss, I think that's cool as hell and should just be part of the base game

Like they already implemented 99% of the Brood War units anyway, they're just in co-op and campaign modes instead of multiplayer. Yeah balancing around 6 sides is exponentially harder than 3 but who gives a gently caress

I could never get behind realistic racing games because they never felt fast enough.

The ZONE things from Wip3out were the best, because it just gets infinitely faster.

Ballistics was good, because it went stupid loving fast, but was too glitchy to really be great.

I feel like Thumper is a better racing game than most car games because it's really just about reacting at stupid speeds. Plus its cool as hell.

The Canary Marry slide from Donkey Kong 64 is a better racing game than car racing games with no weapons.

GT7 was the exception for me. I was never into the series much but it feels like an interactive car museum, with a ton of focus on the history of both the sport and the engineering, and it really wants you to love cars just as much as the devs do. It’s infectious.

Having all of that attached to a relatively realistic driving sim just feels like it makes sense.

I think 6 was probably better for that. I don't think it had quite the same history focus as some brands get, but stuff like the little Senna documentary, or the Goodwood races felt a lot more appreciative of history than a couple sentences that a designer may have written about a car, or a couple paragraphs from wikipedia about how cool quattro is slapped onto a powerpoint.

Also, GT6 let you drive on the moon.

The only realistic racing game I like is Dirt Rally because my car feels like it's going to go completely out of control at any second. Whether it's a futuristic racer or a reality simulator what I'm really looking for is something that makes me go "oh poo poo oh poo poo" every time I enter a turn. Clean racing lines are for boring chumps, I need a vehicle I can barely control.

When I used to play Dirt Rally, the really fun part for me was seeing my replay and how "clean" it looked despite how I felt the entire time like I was one turn away from rolling.

I liked MGS5 once I realized that it wasn’t really a MGS game so much as it was a fun Farcry game. The story makes absolutely no sense though. I even tried to understand it, but it just doesnt make sense.

It sorta makes sense with power Armour builds being more a thing in fallout 4 with specific perks for that type of build and what not, and there being more different types/upgrades of power amour.

Still feels a pretty weird rear end decision to give the play power amour and a minigun and have them kill one of the harder enemies in the game right at the start.

Like just why?

Seriously, I have power armor, a laser mini gun, and have mown down a whole street full of raiders and a deathclaw... and I have no desire whatsoever to fire it back up and see what's next.

Fallout 4 is meant to be a gently caress Around game, none of the factions matter at all and the settlement building mechanics serve no purpose outside of the player getting to make a base to feel proud about. If you want a game like Fallout or Fallout 2 or Fallout New Vegas, Fallout 4 will disappoint you.

That's the dumb thing about 4 though. You say it's a 'gently caress around' game, but it has the most specific and limited main character and plot out of any of the other Fallout games, and puts way too much importance on you actually trying to pursue it.

like yeah we ignore it, but the game still very much wants you to care about MY SON, HAVE YOU SEEN MY SON

What doesn't make sense? It's the very simple story of a guy with weird trauma who thinks he's another dude, doing some prequel origin setup for stuff that happens to different dudes who are mostly who they think they are, but not always.

also one of the dudes eventually tricks himself into thinking he's possessed by a dude who appears as a child in this game because he got that guy's arm attached in place of his severed arm, but isn't actually possessed by him he just mentally conditioned himself to be possessed by a construct of his own mind

This is true however as previously mentioned it is NOT true of motorcycle racing games. poo poo like motorbikes in GTA rules, but actual motorbike racing games just don't feel like you're riding a bike, vs car racing sims which totally can replicate a lot of the on track feeling.

My Summer Car is, on the surface, a poo poo post of a game but it is unreasonably good at evoking the highs and lows of fixing up an old vehicle. all of the goofy sim stuff is necessary to get that feeling.
"i'm knee deep in an engine bay and only half of the bolts are tightened on the crank case but i REALLY have to piss" and then when you come back it's all "where the gently caress did I put the timing belt. wait, did I ever have a timing belt?"

it makes it so rewarding when you can finally drive the thing around until a piston blows up and shoots out of the car

I got as far as getting some of the upgraded car parts installed, hit a corner too fast and quit when I couldnt find parts missing after the crash.
