Literally the only thing anyone would twitter block me over if they're not a really hardcore Trump supporter is gamergate poo poo. Pretty sure I got put on a GG blocklist back in the day. It's not like I go around @ing people and trying to pick fights, I mostly just tweet about whatever godawful procedural I'm currently watching.

That's a good slide tho.

I'm having trouble parsing this, I'm probably just tired sorry, are you trying to say they blocked you because you're a hardcore trump supporter/gamergate supporter or because you're a hardcore antitrump/antigamergate person

Okay I killed Star Destroyer Ansem. I can finally say goodbye to this dumb game.

FirstAidKite posted:

What don't you like about it? I thought it was fun.

In hindsight it wasn't too bad. Didn't care much for the heartless gauntlets near the end, though. Maybe I was just burnt out on it.

Also it's kinda bullshit that you fight Ansem once as a party, then there's a beat battle, and then you repeat the exact same first Ansem fight but solo this time.

I think it's important to bring up games that no one else is talking about - even if no one bites, it adds variety to the discussion and sometimes to funny posts. And best case scenario you let someone know that they should play this thing they've never heard of.

...

Speaking of, everyone in here has played Brigador, right? :v:

I thought the robots were cooler to be honest. The worst change they made was making it so you didn't see the true final boss or a proper ending unless you beat it on hard. So like once for me.

Man, what a ride. Took me 45 hours and this is the first time I've platted a game in quite a while. The funny thing is that I can't tell you any one specific thing where this game was groundbreaking or super amazing or anything. But as a whole it just pulled me in. I actually got quite interested in the story, and the only nagging thing was that there was probably a better way to convey a lot of that besides hunting for audio logs. When someone mentioned that they had brought in the writer from New Vegas and people from CD Projekt, it made perfect sense how this came together in such a strong way. Because this is basically Fallout except without the nostalgic kitsch (super welcome, in my eyes) and with actual good open world and combat gameplay. Also,

ok inspired by esteemed forums poster and mod VideoGames I've decided to just tackle my backlog by going through whichever games I haven't really played and give them a six-hour or so fair shake. If I like them, I'll keep playing. If I don't, I'll quit.

Here's the list if anyone cares:

beep boop have some opinions

Banner Saga: it has a third and final installment coming out, if you need an excuse to put them off, wait until it's out.
Transistor: Forget Bastion, treat this as a strategy game instead of a click 'em up action game. Also the story is very love it or hate it material.
System Shock 2: a good time, have fun!
Thief 1: you might wanna watch an LP of this and jump to Thief 2 instead. It's got some pretty terrible levels in it - and a few good ones, but yeah. The plot is still good though.
World of Goo: this one is good and relatively short! Especially compared to the entire Witcher trilogy, which will occupy you for the next year if you love it enough to go through all three of them. (if you don't dig Witcher 1 or 2, just jump to 3, it's good)

Also for some of them - World of Goo, Osmos - I'd advise using them as breaks inbetween other games instead of trying to blitz them all at once. At least that's how I do it, because doing a puzzle game in one sitting is too much for me.

Anyways, have fun! I'm genuinely jealous that you're playing some of these for the first time. :D

Yeah I forgot to mention that my girlfriend's library is something I'll do after I'm done my own. Games like Banner Saga, Witcher 3, and Deus Ex will come later. My computer can't really play Witcher 3 but I put it on the list anywho.
