Well, I asked because it looks like a children's game. It's not even an innovative or interesting style. It looks like every kid's show that has come out in the last ten years. I guess I am to cool for it.

I've never played this game but when my friend who did told me that Angus reminded them of me I didn't think that this was what they meant.

Yeah for as much as I feel like a game looking like a children's show would not impact my ability to enjoy its adult-oriented content, I suppose if, like, a romantic adventure game that was a style knockoff of Sesame Street came out, I am not sure I would want to play it. Though if it were a murder mystery game, I totally would.

Was the great "Mario 64 is the best-looking game of all time/Myst is the best-looking game of all time" debate an argument in the wider e-world in the 1990s, or was that just (violently) localized in my hometown? I remember people refusing to talk to me for a few days over that.

I didn't get on the internet until the early 2000s so I don't know if it was a thing online but I never heard that kind of argument in my playgrounds. Our arguments were more Pokemon based when they weren't N64 vs Playstation. No-one in British playgrounds gave a poo poo about Myst.

Myst was literally designed to be a game which the whole family could enjoy, even people who had never played video games before. Of course, standards were a little different back then.

It did succeed it at by all accounts though, it held the highest PC game sales numbers in history for almost a decade until The Sims and played a big part in popularizing cd-roms as a video game format. It's definitely up there amongst the most influential and popular games of all time.

I love it because it does actually still seem relevant.

For the record I was 100% on the side of Myst despite thinking it was an absolutely terrible game that I would never play. It hurt my heart and brain both that people genuinely thought low-count polygons, no matter how charming, looked objectively better than the prettiest things a computer could create.

Whatever newbz, I am going to go crank up my Gravis Ultrasound and watch Future Crew's Second Reality again

I dunno but when I first saw him I was like "at some point I'm gonna jam a giant key right into his loving face" and sure enough that's what happened, except that it was a sword and he liked it even less than I expected.

Eh, he chained himself up voluntarily because he couldn't control his horniness and since then he's been hanging there waiting for someone to find the key and stab him in the face with it. You literally did him a favor.

Is Nier playable on the mouse and keyboard, or do you need a controller?

Not only is it console only, but it is also pretty hard to actually find and usually pretty expensive when you do. At least it was where I live when I last checked some time ago.

Additionally it's not great in terms of gameplay. It has nice setpieces but general gameplay is eeeh. If you just want to play it to understand Automata I'd just suggest watching a LP or something.

I think if it was any less cartoonish the game might get way too real for some people.

It's more or less the same feature as Dark Souls but for some reason there seem to be more of them clustered around bosses and stuff.

I think it's just that they used corpses, which wind up being more noticeable than bloodstains.
