One Day I Will Return To Your Side.
So I bought Her Story on steam since I realized that I had some steam wallet cash to spare, It's actually a legitimately interesting game! I really feel like I'm a hotshot detective piecing together a narrative crime story hunched over in a police archive, although, the game drops its coffee mug breaker twist REALLY early which I wasn't expecting it to, maybe I'm super smart and observant, I dunno, but that's not what it's about, what it's about piecing together the overall picture and uncovering the layers one by one, that's the actual draw of the game. I recommend it, but be aware so far it seems super short.

Also, I have no clue what those crybabies in the youtube comments are even mad about, the actress in this game is fantastic, what's up their asses about this game?

Can't find the link but there's this amazing exchange between a steam forum user and the Her Story devs which goes along the lines of

"How do I know when I've beaten the game?
"When you feel satisfied with what you've learned and reached your conclusion."
"How do I know when I'm satisfied?"
Are these people being obtuse, or are they really that dead inside? I can never tell with hradcoer gamrz.

Eet eez an SJW game and it must be fought back against with all the ferocity that their fingers can type.

You will sooner have them support actual bad unplayable games like Ride to Hell Retribution, Bubsy 3D and Superman 64 than admit to those types of games are also games.

Ohhh, I see what my problem was. I thought that the price on them was for a single unit, not the total price of all of it. So I thought that they'd sell 3 units of Gravity and get $135.

Yeah, that's what I thought at first too. Still though, what's even the point of having a sell and a sell all button? Is there any reason at all to keep the drugs?

Not just that, but why even bother with different types of drugs with their own names and prices? Why not just have every baddie drop a random amount of generic biker meth?

This sell menu we're seeing here is probably the cauterized stump of some elaborate drug-dealing system that they wanted to implement, but ran out of money/competence. Same thing with the open-world design and the bike modification.

Also Ride to Hell is the best thin I've seen from an LPer ever, this is including Chip's "gently caress IT PARRY IT" from his MGR lp.

So here's an explanation to Matt's question about Devil's Third: Reports are coming out that Nintendo isn't publishing it, they lost faith in it with technical difficulties like inconsistent frame rate the reason. That's why they didn't show it at E3 and removed it from their eshops.

However, it's going to be released by a different publisher.

Devil's Third looks like rear end and the fact that known crazy person Itagaki is a big part of the game means I do not blame Nintendo for not associating themselves with it. Nintendo already has a good M-Rated game under their name that's not the worst kind of edgy.

Almost all the LucasArts classic adventure games, manh modern adventure games, David Cage's recent games. You could argue that many multiplayer games don't have fail states.

adventure games are the classic interesting case for the definition and i've always wondered why they aren't discussed in the great games that are not games debates. of course, interactive fiction seems like a better name, but they have gameplay elements within them, sooooo....

Seems like a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy at this point. I don't think we've seen pixel one of the actual game (was ANY media released after that live-action E3 trailer?) and everything I've heard about it has been negative.

Tomonobu Itagaki is the director of the Dead or Alive series (Until 5) and the modern Ninja Gaiden games. He is a man who is very dedicated in his games and is very quirky. He is also a crazy man who believes that the Tekken series is a great series of garbage games because he claims in Japan there was an ad that Namco put out which attempted to besmirch DOA. Then while working on DOA4 he saw high-level footage of DOA3, didn't like how the game looked at high-level play and then hosed with the game mechanics so much so it would fit his vision and be terrible for tourney players. Then when he finally left Team Ninja and the DOA team made a more solid fighting game with DOA5 he went on to say that "His daughter was totally ruined" insulting the team he left that worked so hard to deliver a new DOA.

This is just the development side of things too. This is not to get into how he had a sexual harassment lawsuit and is really crazy about talking poo poo about Tecmo. Oh and he looks like aged oatmeal now and it's really nasty, but that's petty. He's kinda like the Anti-Kamiya, where as Kamiya is frank, but respectful of people in the game's industry and is generally very well meaning, Itagaki does not give a gently caress and says whatever he wants to about anything. He's also one of those dudes in Japan who was trying to push for Japanese games to catch up to western standards like Inafune.
