It's kind of weird that as far as I remember the female monsters have fully modeled genitals but the male monsters don't.

 Do they? I mean maybe the placement of those lights on the breasts are pretty suspect, but I don't see a intricately modeled vagina.

I really like Simpsons: Tapped Out. The myriad of tasks makes for a dynamic play style ("I'm going to bed, set everything for an 8-hour task"), I have more of a connection to it because it's the Simpsons, and it's quite playable without paying. Two things drag it down: - Instability. I'm not sure why, but after the Easter event (I think) the game became really unstable. The screen will stop registering touches, the animation/sound will stutter, and it'll either crash or eventually catch up with all the touching I've done. It'll crash elsewhere often too. - Pay Only Annoyances. Don't get me wrong, they've put a lot of drat good stuff in the game, and it's perfectly playable and enjoyable without spending a dime. That said, it's not possible to accrue enough donuts (the currency) to buy any of the iconic stuff, and the prices of the iconic stuff is pretty high.

...of SCIENCE! posted:Breasts are secondary sexual characteristics, genitals aren't. And I didn't draw that distinction in my post so why are you bringing it up? But I guess if you're going to get so pedantic about it, I wasn't talking about breasts in my post so it's not exactly relevant. I mean apparently nobody minded that previously posted character with the really detailed cameltoe but I guess it's OK since she's technically clothed (in shrinkwrap). I was just saying it really isn't that weird for female characters to be weirdly detailed in a sexual way but their male counterparts aren't for...reasons. Because a poster earlier seemed to think it was weird. Doctor Bishop posted:Counterpoint: Lucifer in Dante's Inferno. Good catch, but I still say it's pretty drat rare. Also I (and probably everyone else) never played the game long enough to see him.

Fifteen of Many posted:I'm at the very end of Dust: An Elysian Tail and I feel like the game has really ground to a halt since the "go get items from four houses all spread across this map" section. It wasn't bad on its own, but the areas since seem like enemy hp/damage has scaled much faster than my own, and the maps (which seem to have ballooned in size) are just carpeted with enemies, making getting for point a to point b a real pain in the rear end. I've actually made it to the final boss but may not finish the game: I don't have many healing items and may be a little under leveled since I started just skipping as much combat as I could when it got more and more tedious, and I really don't feel like grinding out levels or gold to kill one more guy. Otherwise it has been a fun game! Spamming aerial dust storm and the regular magic attack can actually help you soak up a fair bit of XP while you're getting from place to place fairly quickly. It's still tedious but beats the hell out of actually fighting the mobs in most areas. With the right amulet and rings it's also possible to keep leveling regularly right up to the end. I think I beat it (on Tough) at like level 40 or something and I never did any grinding at all. Doctor Bishop posted:Counterpoint: Lucifer in Dante's Inferno. would.

The God of War series kept trying to get dicks on the male monsters and Titans (Kronos in particular was supposed to have his tallywhacker showing), but they weren't allowed to.kazil posted:It'd be a pretty sparse game if it only included civilizations that were around for the entire span of actual civilization. Yeah, but it's like, if you have the German 'civ', then it's not just the Kaiserreich 1871-1918, it's also the Germania tribes, the Holy Roman Empire, the Teutonic Knights, Prussia, the German Confederation, or the GDR. But Brazil is just Brazil (and Venice is just Venice, America is just America, and the HRE is just the HRE, not specifically ragging on Brazil here). The specific civs seem out of place in a game about the grand sweep of human history. But like I said, I know it's a petty complaint; more of "mildly irritating" than "URG THIS GAME IS poo poo".

Okay, maybe I should have stated "for pretty much all the time that the peoples you named existed in Germany", but the point stands. Especially in a game that is a giant what-if machine, where a landlocked Japan can wipe out their english neighbour following the unexpected betrayal of England by their ally, the tiny island nation of india in 27BC its bizarre to complain that you shouldn't be able to be Brazilian in the game because... Edit; for clarity, the "you" in my reply is the original poster I was replying to, not random stranger who was basically agreeing its an odd objection while correcting me on a technicality.

Tweet Me Balls posted:Throw three more vaginas on that thing and it's a solid silent hill monster. The sexual monster symbolism starts to get old after awhile though. You can only throw a vagina faced monster at me so many times before the shock wears off. And at times - it just gets silly and you end up fighting a giant penis in a shopping mall.

Lord Lambeth posted:Also, The Lost and The Damned's Congressman Stubbs GTA5 you see the tip of Trevor's dick when he shows it off to his henchman's cousin and he bends down to pull his pants back up. Also I swore there was a time I ran across a guy trying to rape a woman and he was full on bottomless, willy dangling in the breeze and flopping about when I popped him in the head. I actually stopped, looked down and yep, that was a penis alright. Does the playerbase of a game count? Though this isn't like "I played dota and was called a human being", but a feature that was put into ff14 that in theory would help the lower leveled players but mostly its just high level players wanting to get their rewards and pissing all over the lower leveled players. There is a system where players at level 50 can be put in a roulette and join a random dungeon that other players are queuing for. The idea is that people who know how dungeons work will be able to help the lower leveled players, but in reality are higher leveled players who wont explain anything and just want to speedrun the dungeon for their reward at the end. Doesn't really help lower leveled players and makes the higher leveled players even more toxic smug elitists.

Lord Lambeth posted:Also, The Lost and The Damned's Congressman Stubbs This was also quite funny joke with the age restrictions and ratings-system. The game warns you about "full frontal nudity", in a game series famous with sex-related scandals and constant themes revolving around sex workers. The only "full frontal" the game gives is a 50 yo. out-of-shape politician in a steam room.

It's the place Trevor can drop off hitchhikers to be murdered for some puny rewards.

I got Max Payne 3 for $5 a while back and finally gave it a spin. The first five to ten minutes was a "Max is sad and drinking" montage. The opening for the first stage was a "Max is sad and drinking" montage. Then I went through some bad, sluggish combat, and was greeted with a "Max is sad and drinking" montage. All of this laced with enough awful political commentary to choke a canvasser. I always knew MP3 was a mess, but this just takes my breath away. It's like everything bad about Rockstar condensed, under the skin of one of my favorite game series.

You need 30 gigs when you stuff you game full to the brim with cutscenes. And when you launch the game for the first time, before you can change any graphical settings from the lovely default ones, you get a lovely 10 minute cutscene. After that, you can set your graphics and start the game, where you get another 10 minute cutscene. After getting through that poo poo, the combat felt really off. People say MP3 has amazing combat but I couldn't get into it and the other poo poo really put me off so gently caress that game.
