A buddy was telling me about how they were saying that alien isolation was the death of an art form, and that shovel knight sucks and people only like it because it is retro lmao

I remember someone bringing the A:I review up on the steam thread (I tend to recommend the game every time it goes on sale) as an example of why people shouldn't buy it; I watched it to see how it went and they started complaining about closed doors, and how you actually had to go and find a tool to get this open a door! How silly is that? They bitched 5 minutes about the different minigames (which are easy as gently caress and not even that intrusive) and how they didn't make sense. At one point I think they even complained about having to hide from the Alien. They basically spent the whole review (which is 21 minutes long) complaining about how a game had... well, game mechanics.

the minigames are not fun they're just there to make completing an objective take time and concentration so its hard to ghost them. there are probably better ways to do this than a repeated puzzle.

like they could have had you need to search through files in computers for the right program to run instead of having to HAXORZ for the computer to unlock for you.

the cutting torch worked well because you were directly doing the real world action that would open the way. the dumb digital minigames were just dumb

other than that and the game going on about 3 hours too long after what should have been the ending and should have had a queen as a boss fight but didn't, it was real good game

Whoa, I didn't even know Rich and Jack of Red Letter Media had their own channel for games. I'll have to check this out!

It's pretty stuff, but its not really good compared to what they do on the main RLM channel and those sort of projects.

Their live streams are pretty good. They get some of the RLM people to sit in and talk about stuff/the game they're playing which is fun.

There's so much actual important poo poo in this world to care about, all the people invoking tribalism over the most meaningless bullshit surrounding food and condiment usage are the loving worst.

None of it matters and all of it is completely arbitrary. Put whatever the gently caress you want on pizza, hotdogs, and pasta if it tastes good to you and kill yourself if you think otherwise.

I don't know if I'm in the right place, but this question has been driving me nuts: does anyone know of a top-down shooter preinstalled on mac ibooks circa 2004? I remember that each stage took place a few years after the last one. It started in 1906 or something and you shot at biplanes but eventually it was set in the future with spaceships and crap. I've been looking for it all night but can't find anything.

if i was to listen to people talk video games i'd rather it be through a podcast like The Besties or something. the previously recorded video I watched of The Order was terrible because it was super-editted and cutting back and forth between people in two different "rooms" but they tried to make it look like an organic conversation

also I don't care for RLM or AVGN or any of that sort of shtick. if a video has a thumbnail of people making wacky poses/faces i'm already not going to click it

A lot of people are loving New Doom which is great, but I've heard about the opening sequence and how awesome it is several times now, and having watched it myself on YouTube just now, I have to say that it's pretty unremarkable, I don't know what every else is seeing

Basically, everyone else is wrong about a thing

People like it because it makes a direct reference to the Doom comic which is a beloved internet meme, that's all there is to it.

I watched the First 15 video (where the Penny Arcade guys play a game for 15 minutes) and it looked pretty bad. That's my only exposure to the franchise. I'm a real sucker for action games like that, but I think there are probably many better games.

No, from what I saw, what I assume is the newest one, looks very bad. It's possible the gameplay is actually good, but the game itself looked very ugly and unfinished. Like a farmed out bargain bin title from early last gen.

I feel burned by Quake 4. Speaking of, were Quake and Quake II actual sequels to each other or are they not related at all? Both games are so different in tone and setting but it felt like they were at least very loosely related.

I believe Quake 2 was originally supposed to be a different game but they didn't want to come up with a new IP or anything. I remember reading that somewhere but I could be talking out of my :butt:
