top tier game dads:





Asura's Wrath and Alan Wake have got me wondering: how many games out there manage to be enjoyable and worthwhile experiences, even though their gameplay's not the best?

Playing Drakengard 1 all the way to the final end was absolute torture, it was great and I don't regret it one bit.

Good times with dear old dad, hanging out on a chunk of concrete falling out of the sky and trying to kill each other with laser satellites and office towers

Overwatch is kind of interesting because it doesn't have a scoreboard but it has these medals for each stat like kills/damage done/healing. So pretty much everyone can hit tab during the game and see 'I have the gold medal in ________, it's everyone else in my team that's playing badly'

Recently I got a gold medal in Objective Time with 2 sconds of time on the objective.

I think these examples are showing that... Dads are not tough? In fact, they are probably bad?

Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.
I don't like games where it feels like studying so I stay away from most competitive scenes and MMOs but still want to give that DBZ game a try.

But just a few pages ago this was considered "like the worst advice"!

Gonna go the fighting game route as well and say Ken Masters, mainly because of the ending where his son punches him in the dick (his kid's like 5)

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


There are lots of fighting game dads, probably the highest incidence of all genres.

Nobody seems to be talking about my man Nier wrt gaming dads. The best kind of dad is a dad who realizes the enormity of his sins and owns them.

Siegmeyer of Catarina is an irresponsible gaming dad, by turns

every now and then I'll go find a video for an indie band and then I'll click on the person who uploaded it and i will get very confused as to why seemingly random people go to the trouble of uploading really good, hidden gem songs with artwork and all

maybe i should start doing it to boost my views

i bring this up today because of the guy who uploaded this:

Why would you ever make a dad that is not Kirby with the raw pink skin. Don't give me that option if you expect me not to use it.
