I love every time the path takes me there again. Kingdom's Edge also has a really lovely ambience with the snowfall and the violin BGM.

pubg is good

In Japanese Picross is pi-ku-ro-su so it is pee-cross. If it was meant to be pic-cross it would have a double consonant k.

Argument settled I hope to never hear about it again. Also burn everyone who pronounces "tate" as "tayt."

going by the pubg thread a good third of the population is people afking for loot boxes ala the glory days of tf2 hats so there's that to consider

I agree in principle but I will fight anyone who pronounces Tidus as Tee-dus.

In French it's pronounced "Pah-REE", please stop calling it "PAH-riss". Thank you.

I can grok the theoretical appeal of PUBG; Battle Royale is a cool movie. But the way it's implemented is so flat and sterile of an experience.

Like, if a single "game" of PUBG took days or weeks to play out, on a map that's entirely to scale (so it would take actual days to walk across it, and 5 or 10 hours to drive across it), requiring people to either stay awake indefinitely or find actual safe spots to "sleep", and be as complex as imaginable - you can track people, you can do wild things like dig a pit trap, etc - it would be fundamentally amazing.

that sounds like the epitome of an insanely ambitious game that isn't even remotely fun to play and would at worst, totally loving leave you fried from playing it, and at best, be entirely unmanageable for literally anyone who has to do any amount of work

hell, i have days worth of free time and i cannot even loving imagine trying to play a game like that. that seriously just sounds like an entire game of the worst parts of these kinds of games

precision posted:

yeah but consider: aren't there people who currently do play PUBG for literally weeks at a time and only take breaks to sleep?

Outlast for Steam. It's free on the Humble Bundle store. Turns out I had it (but not its DLC, which is also free on the store, but this key is just for the game)

The Colonel posted:

there are people like that for any online game. it doesn't mean those people would play a game where literally nothing happens for weeks

Tuxedo Catfish posted:

I took this, since somehow nobody grabbed it! I'm not sure what kind of game Outlast even is but I'll give it a fair shake.

al-azad posted:

It's a first person horror game where you get chased around a mental facility by naked beefcakes and the DLC has a villain who cuts penises off to make men his brides.

Fight For Life wikipedia page posted:

In 1994, Atari hired Sega AM2 programmer Francois Bertrand to work on a 3D Fighting game for the Jaguar. Bertrand's previous experience was in developing the camera and collision systems for Sega's Virtua Fighter polygon fighter, and he served as the lead (and only) programmer on Fight for Life.

During development, Atari pushed the deadline for the game's completion further and further forward, to the point where they were giving away review copies mere months into development, and giving Bertrand no extra facilities to help finish the game. Because the review copies did not contain a finished build of the game, it sparked negative publicity for Atari, prompting them to hold back Bertrand's wages for four months. As a result, when the game was due to be completed in December 1995, Bertrand gave Atari an incomplete build of the game to release, stating that he'd give them the finished product once he was given the back payments owed to him. Atari refused and released the unfinished build.

Atari released the game in 1996. Fight for Life was the first and only 3D fighting game to appear on the Jaguar console.
