Where the gently caress is poker night 3, anyway? That game cannot be that exppensive to make. Let me play against Rick

Funny you guys mention Poker Night, I was just thinking abut it again a few hours ago while I was out and about. It's a fun game, the conversation stuff really is good. They probably didn't do a third one because the second didn't sell so well.

But you guys are right -- Poker Night is a huge anomaly. A great one, though.

Halfway through ME2 I stopped because even though it's prettier and more fun, the story blows chunks. Going with a universe ending plot instead of it being Universe Cop 2 was a terrible decision. Dear Bioware, your lore writers suck, which means I couldn't give a poo poo about saving your universe.

I wish Poker Night had more kinds of poker. Hold 'em is for rednecks.

Agreed. Texas Hold 'em is the worst poker variant meant for the lowest common denomination of intelligence.

I wish they would branch out to other kinds of casual games. I'd love a PC mahjong game that wasn't wall-to-wall anime titty.

Jim's now a Blind Cave Salamander!


Picked up The Beginner's Guide yesterday, a purported 'spiritual successor' to The Stanley Parable. I would not suggest this game to people who dislike 'walking simulator' games, or people who are wary at spending cash for short games (It takes about an hour and a half to reach the end). It probably doesn't deserve its own thread. That said, I thought it was an interesting narrative experience and personally enjoyed the title. Without getting into spoilers, the game plays with player expectations in an interesting fashion, and as a game developer the medium of 'small, somewhat-connected experimental games' resonated really well. Personally rate it a 7/10, would expect the average player to have a much lower opinion.

Spoiler to those who've played through: I like that it's left ambiguous whether the fictional developer Coda exists in the story of the game, or if Wreden is Coda. From one point of view, they could be the same person, as talking to one's self is certainly a heavy theme to the game. Wreden's alteration of the games you play feels very much like an artists internal back-and-forth of the accessibility of their work. On the other hand, they could easily be two people, with Wreden being absolutely nuts and literally adding meaning into Coda's games until Coda feels the need to say goodbye. I felt there were lots of good subtle moments that hint at how unreliable the narrator is. For example, Wreden interprets the 'clean the house before leaving' game as "one must always move on from places of comfort." Later he admits the original game never made you move on, and originally the housecleaning kept repeating. Either a story about forcing your own interpretations into the work of others, a story about an artist's drive to create, or a story about an insane gamedev, it was a pretty novel way to tell a tale. I very much doubt I would have appreciated this as much if I didn't have my own folder of half-created experimental games.

ME2's overall story is incredibly bad but it had some cool characters and fun gameplay.

OK so this isn't really Far Cry 5, it's basically FC4's Blood Dragon. So the craziness is less impressive knowing this isn't a mainline game. But still, pretty unique (at least coming from a AAA developer).

I really like what I see from Far Cry Primal it seems to be all ice age animal killing. It's almost the turok game that I always wanted(just wish they had dinosaurs instead of beasts).

It's also made people angry because now ubisoft made all the characters sub-Saharan black, ancient Siberian, or whatever you call primitive people(which was what they wanted for the last few far cry games to have a non-caucasian Player Character). The same people are now mad that the game enforces stereotypes that ancient man did nothing but throw spears and behave like savages and of course the bad thing is now they're all non-caucasians.

This is Monkey's Paw level of granted wishes.

Look none of these ingrates could tell the difference between ceremonial Peruvian garb(the people in green body paint), aboriginal influences and aesthetics or that the cave paintings in the trailer were clearly inspired from the Scottish caves..


These are cavemen who are citizens of the world. Wordly Cavemen, far more advances than any Joe Flintstone. I mean gently caress they fire an explosive spear out of a tree trunk launcher to impale a mammoth.

IMO the stereotypical caveman wearing leopard skins and stabbing mammoths is Problematic with a capital p, and the Ubisoft writers will be first in line for the guillotine, but that was already the case before this trailer so whatever

Let's not even get into forcing modern gender roles onto primitive people. That cave woman realistically would have been back home caring for the children, because child mortality rates were through the roof back then.

Turn your head and little Timmok could have easily been torn to death by a pack of dire wolves who were just in the neighborhood.

Actually we know that they interbred with other hominids like the Denisovans and Neanderthals(modern humans have the DNA). That and the cave paintings which depicted poo poo.

Also it looks like 3Ds pokemon games got hacked to hell and back and any safeguards that Nintendo put in place were all for naught.

Powersaves Pro will now also duplicate the legal checks and you will be able to turn any pokemon into a shiny and use it online.
