I've tried to like Undertale and I still can't figure out what part of it is supposedly "fun" to play I mean just on a pure gameplay level, it's just so meh

Dodging quirky attacks (like a snoozing dog's zzz's) is fun though I was terrible at it

I really really liked Undertale, like one-of-my-favorite-games-ever liked it, but I agree that the encounters in the open-world portion get repetitive pretty fast. Maybe explaining why it works the way it does will help a bit: Undertale's enemy encounters are not random, it pulls from a set ordered list of monsters in each area. When that list runs out, you will encounter no more monsters there. The problem is that each enemy appears between 2 and 4 times on that list, sometimes multiple times in a row, so talking them down from fighting quickly becomes a series of hitting the right button and dodging moves you've already seen. The developer tried to combat this fatigue by giving each enemy a bunch of moves, which are randomly chosen... but sometimes you get the same attacks multiple times in a row and then you're stuck with the same problem.

After you leave the ruins the encounter rate gets lower and the enemies become way more varied. The first part of the game was made years before the rest and was used as a demo for the Kickstarter so its a lot rougher, though on the meta level it is cool feeling the developer grow as a game designer and an artist over the course of the game.

Making it so you only encounter each enemy once would've been fine with me

I also would've been fine with that. I think toning down the number of repeats while adding just a couple of new monsters in some of the repeats' places would've been better.

The Witness has more than enough puzzles to keep you entertained for hours and it takes the phrase 'brain bending' to entirely new levels. I could not wrap my head around half the puzzles in the last stages of the game so I gave up and I will never finish it, but the stuff I did play was fun to untangle. It's a hard loving game, and for me it ended up falling square on the annoying side of hard instead of the fun side. For that reason, I really recommend you don't buy it for full price, because you might end up being the same way.

It's worth noting that if you ever get stuck on a puzzle in The Witness you can walk away and go solve puzzles somewhere else. Like seriously, there's so many puzzles.

The Witness is a game I'm never sure what someone means when they say they beat it because that can mean like 5 different things. It can mean you got the ending, it can mean you got all the trophies, it can mean you beat every puzzle that actually something, it can mean you beat all the regular puzzles or it can mean you actually found and did every puzzle

that said I am looking at nintendo's youtube whitelist for lets plays it's surprising how many copyrights they dont own. like I know there are rights issues with the original Donkey Kong Country trilogy, but apparently they don't own Kirby either (HAL does I guess?). no kirby games on the whitelist, no Smash games on the whitelist, no Pokemon on the white list, no obscure Nintendo-published games like Drill Dozer on the white list, no super mario RPG on the whitelist (Square), no Mother/Earthbound on the whitelist but they do own star fox adventures and that's on the whitelist even though rare made it

I read a story today about Pokemon GO's inception to game and trendy popularity.. and something that shocked me was how awesome the name of the studio Niantic is. I didn't know this but Niantic was the name of a whaling ship in 1832 that was run ashore in 1849 and converted into a hotel in what is modern day san francisco during the gold rush. It was responsible for bringing the crew to it's fortune and ultimately became a historical site in San Francisco. Niantic Wiki

Quest For Glory II posted:that said I am looking at nintendo's youtube whitelist for lets plays Rights for various stuff inside the Smash games were already probably a hurdle to deal with in the 64 and Melee days. Especially when things with Rare were going south and they didn't know what they could/should include in Melee. Then that increased ten fold when Sakurai invited any (Japanese) video game musician worth their salt pick and choose any songs they wanted to remix for Brawl and 4. Take a look sometime in the sound test for 4 and see how many non-Nintendo guest remixers there are and also how many of them also have their own brands that are listed in the "More Info" copyrights and etc. section. It was a miracle we were even able to get that free promotional Smash 4 sampler CD a while back.

Lol I just bought overwatch and it asks you literally 4 times if you want to upgrade to the 60 buck origins edition when you buy the 40 buck standard one. This after literally hiding the 40 buck version and forcing you to go searching for it after not even hinting at its existence anywhere. How sad can you get. edit:  Also, it cost me 42.49 because I live in Illinois, the only state that puts a tax on digital purchases. cool, that should definitely be legal

Of course a bunch of people would purposefully make themselves low-ranked to keep crushing bad players like me with ease, so whatever.
