Sonic Adventure is internally fixed at 640x480 and has no widescreen support. It defaults to 1280x720 windowed, in which the game is letterboxed to 800x600 with an ugly purple background filling the rest of the area. There's no controller icons so you have to guess what buttons do what. The config app has Open Your Heart blaring in the background like some lovely keygen or something. Oh and in the Steam version, the config app doesn't even work. There's a fix... that involves cracking open the registry. Combine all this with audio bugs like random blaring noises in the second part of Twinkle Park and general wonkiness carrying over from older versions but made worse by the sheer amount of porting the game has been through.

Decent Port indeed. If you want Sonic Adventure on your PC, you're probably better off trying to play the Gamecube version in Dolphin. Sonic Adventure 2 (not on sale) is a good port though.

It looks like they fixed the config app in this update though.

Looking at those is making my eyes/head hurt as my eyes tried to focus all of that out of focus areas in the screenshots. Is that because it's a screenshot or is the game mostly out of focus like that or am I crazy or what's going on there?

It's to simulate miniature faking/tilt-shifting. I remember the original free Reprisal being more puzzle-focused and somewhat linear as far as I remember, so I wonder how the new one is?

It's easy, just start blacklisting games you know you ain't ever gonna fuckin play. I got games that I only played because of achievements for Playfire/Winter sale coal/Summer Sale DLC, I'm never touchin' em again. Games like ARES and Gish.

I just count those as "beaten" if I've put time into it and know I'm not going back. I save the blacklist for the vile poo poo (your Grotesques Tactics, Duke Forever, etc.) I know I won't boot. But I also seem to be operating on a MUCH larger scale than y'all's ~500.

I would say that Beaten games are ones where you have finished the main story and Completed games are ones that you've got every achievement / 100% all the content available for it.

Oh hey, they fixed the ending bug that Fable TLC PC had in the Anniversary edition.

For the longest time, no matter what you did choicewise, the game would always get the input that you killed all your friends before you went to fight the final boss, and you'd never get the option to throw away the mask. As such you could have been a saint all game, but you'd still get the bad ending at the end of TLC thanks to that bug, and the devs outright said they didn't care enough to fix it.

Just got the good ending in Anniversary though!

It's funny you guys think nothing of games where you piss flame and burn off people's faces or rip out hearts or silently slit throats or murder entire towns and spell out the village names with their dead bodies so you can more easily identify the towns as you fly over them with your dragon or slam dunk criminals onto the pointy ends of fish or countless other things, but you see a few half/fully-naked anime girls and you rear up in righteous cultural indignation.

I mean, those games look absolutely unfun, but good lord.

Maybe I'm jaded and the internet has ruined my sensibilities, but it's hard to give a gently caress about things I can find worse in your standard, vanilla best-selling Marvel or DC comic books.

THere's a certain level of detachment really. When I play say Saints Row 4, I do it to do stupid ridiculous stuff I can't do in real life. Like kill a dozen civilians with a land shark, or sneak up on a dude and snap his neck, or make him die from dancing. whatever.

One thing I can do in real life is get real loving creepy on women. So when I'm given the chance to get real loving creepy on women in video games, maybe not so much. Especially since it's all about getting creepy on women. Like there is no justification for that picture palpek posted. It's sexification, pure and simple. It exists for the sole purpose of making women sex objects.

It's not the fact that there are half naked oiled up cartoon girls. Who cares.

It's the instant mental picture you get of the greasiest, zit-covered globby-fat cat-ear-headband-wearing neckbearded ogre you've ever seen who sincerely thinks it's the hottest thing ever. That's what people get weird about.

As a woman who loves playing games the constant misogyny, objectification and sexualisation of women in games is just depressing. Sad and depressing that in this day and age people don't realise how exclusionary those attitudes are.
What's worse is that it's impossible to have a proper sensible debate about it at the moment.
