food court bailiff posted:Melee is fun but calling it technical is a laugh and all of its biggest proponents are weirdo dorks like this guy. You just need autism to "get" the technical parts of melee. There is little practical reason to ever do some of the stuff they obsess over, but they will still spend weeks practicing it so they can show it off at tournaments. Melee tournaments are awful places and I will forever resent my former roommate for dragging me in to that "community". They don't even drink and will get mad if you even try and bring alcohol into the cramped game shop that reeks of BO and bawls brand energy drink. It was even sad at MLG when they included it, we were shunted off to some side area with a bunch of old CRT TVs while the Halo 2 guys got the cool giant screen and they didn't have to sit on the floor.

The only good way to play Far Cry 4 is to sit the gently caress down, eat your god drat Crab Rangoon, and let Pagan Min keep these savages from killing each other and raping their underage children.

Fighting game communities are uniformly cancer. 'Technical' is just a nice way of saying the controls are deliberately poorly designed and player-unfriendly... something which is universally prized in such communities, and which is often mistaken for strategic depth.

I saw someone knock a guy over and kick him in the stomach multiple times and everyone told the guy to not make a big deal because the kicker was autistic. All he did was win a match in a way the autist thought was "cheap".

I think fighting games on general are only fun to play for about 10 minutes and never with other people, especially online. The entire thing becomes an autistic race to the top to see if you can push the automatic winning series of buttons in the fewest number of frames.

As a nerd growing up you have to learn to avoid certain communities, and a true friend will pull a person aside and save their friend, if they notice a taken interest in fighting game tournaments, or competitive card game tournaments, or honestly any nerd thing + tournament

Happened to see your post regarding KOF XIII a few pages back and while I think the sale is over, I can say XIII was an excellent game. Just very tight on the inputs. I've found XIV to be a lot more forgiving on inputs and thus easier to practice, but XIII is great. Very beautiful game too.

Much moreso than I expected. All fighting games end up becoming autistic hyper-frame-perfect executions with pixel-perfect spacing wars at high levels. You can live with that and enjoy them for what they are, or you can do other stuff with your life. Either way no big deal. What matters is whatever you find fun. I play chess these days because my fingers are too slow to take videogames seriously anymore.

a bone to pick posted:could you give a short synopsis? I love laughing at bioshock. Here's the short version from what I remember: You play as Elizabeth, in what is presumably the primary rapture timeline from Bioshock 1. In Burial at Sea 1, Elizabeth kills the Booker who lives in rapture because of him trying to use a furnace of some kind to flush out a little sister of the vents (?). She becomes disgusted with him and kills him, and then here's where things get stupid. She gives up her multiverse godhood powers to protect this one, singular little sister. Presumably because she felt bad about using the sister in her plot to determine if the rapture Booker was a jerk or not. So instead of, I don't know, using her powers to prevent rapture from being created or at least doing something at a macro level to make the lives of the little sisters better, she gives it all up for this one individual. From there the actual game begins, and it's essentially a slow motion suicide all the way through. She loses all semblance of sanity, and imagines a Booker to save her and keep her moving forward, and yet she gradually becomes more unhinged and fatalistic. She goes around doing Bioshock things for a while, and eventually she comes face to face with Atlas, who tortures her in an absolutely disgusting first person torture porn scene where he uses an icepick type thing to almost give her brain damage. Some time later, Atlas needs her for a mission to a specific area, which he says his people can't get to because of "gene-locked turrets" of some kind, which they did not even bother to model in the actual level. Elizabeth talks to Suchong or something, and then allows herself to be killed, with I believe the same little sister in the room she gave up her powers to protect. Lo-and behold, some short death speech later, it's revealed that she did all this to set the events of Bioshock 1 in motion. So in short: Elizabeth gives up her powers for a dumb reason Elizabeth is robbed of what little agency she had Elizabeth is fridged for the benefit of the Bioshock 1 story I'm probably forgetting a lot of stuff, but I'm convinced the only people who genuinely liked the story either are torture fetishists or people who straight up hate women. It's such a tremendous clusterfuck especially reading it from a feminist perspective, I'd almost recommend watching the story chunks of it for a laugh, were it not for the pointless torture scenes.

This is fresh in my mind because I'm playing it right now, but the specific reason she gives up her powers is because right after she lets the Big Daddy kill the Booker from the first DLC (who is actually a Comstock, and in his universe that Elizabeth lost a head instead of a pinky so he had the wonder twins wipe his memory and park him in Rapture) she panics and for some reason doesn't use her powers to keep herself from getting killed by the Big Daddy. This is normally fine because she can just gently caress off to the rest of time and space, but she feels bad because cooking the girl alive was actually her plan and she kinda had to coerce Bookerstock into it, so she teleports back to the place where she died which is apparently a big no-no for quantum abominations and she loses all of her powers.

Like, you can put me down as someone who actually really liked the main story and especially the Booker/Comstock stuff about the baptism, guilt, redemption, etc. And even I think the DLC has a poo poo story.

Buying Nintendo consoles solely for Nintendo games is justifiable, at least as long as that's the only way to play them. Games with less interactivity are still games, and games can be art. People who argue otherwise seem to think calling something a game or art inherently gives it some kind of merit or those are titles that have to be earned, which is stupid. Art can suck. RTSs are impenetrable and I can't imagine anyone who loves them hasn't been playing them for like 20 years or more.

get that OUT of my face posted:the one upside to Undertale's popularity is that LISA has gotten more of a look from people who want to play other Earthbound-likes. i haven't played Undertale so i can't pass judgment, but the fact that it has a reviled fanbase makes me hesitant to give it a shot I haven't played Undertale either but there's plenty of media out there that's fun and enjoyable despite having a dogshit fanbase. Also, LISA loving rules. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZuI3ZkCHfs

Grand theft auto san andreas is the only GTA worth playing. The older ones are boring and the newer ones seem to prefer serious+realistic over being fun. I have like 12 hours played combined on 4 and 5 whereas I have over 700 on SA and I replay it all the time.
