And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

You're a broken shell of a man who sticks himself in the middle of nowhere while your wife is dying of terminal cancer.

Eventually there's a fire.

Gone home does not present it's lesbian romance as titillating. Gone home was written by the same women who wrote the bioshock 2 DLC, MInerva's den. She is a lesbian who grew up in seattle during the 90s, and decided to write a small game reflective of her own experiences. Gone homes main story is a simple, sweet love story told without any exploitive elements.

It you cannot relate to finding and being in love, than a large portion of the game is not going to make any impact on you.

...You mean the man, Steve Gaynor.

Gone Home was an overly saccharine, frankly lovely love story and the only reason it wasn't just another lovely indie game nobody has ever heard of, was misleading marketing. Thaaat's it.

Also there’s a woman who may or may not be responsible for the drawn out death of a child and another man driven crazy by grief who just decides to gently caress with you but not actually hurt you.

The game does a really good job reacting to the way you respond though.

its not that hard when the lead writer of the series count of cuckolds and master of memes, last of his name, Anthony Burch isn't writing it outside some "directorial position" making sure it stays in "borderlands canon"

Braid was a decent puzzle game with a really stupid story. Indie devs should stay away from trying to make their games "artistic." I have never played any indie game that was thought provoking in any way. People seem to eat these types of games up though, and I legitimately don't get it. Maybe I'm just a moron or something, haha.

All of the IP's you could ever have hope for? They will go to shitlords like EA and Activision.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

Honestly I can't understand who would buy Borderlands 2 if they played Borderlands in the first place. Like, why would you want more of that?

The plane part in 3 kicked rear end and was the best part of the entire series. I don’t know, the gameplay was pretty straightforward but 2 and 3 were pretty awesome in terms of gaming experience. I don’t get the hate for Uncharted.

But yeah 4 was disappointing for sure

It's wrong to compare action RPGs to turn-based RPGs imo. The central experience is so different. One basically tests your dexterity and the other your brain.

That said, turn-based RPGs are infinitely better you braindead scumrats.

Borderlands looked like poo poo, graphically and gameplay-wise. Just awful

Bioshock wasn't that good, it had a cool concept about an underwater city. Gameplay was turd and you fought the same like 3 enemies for the whole game. Turd.

Bioshock 3 wasn't very good either. Weird and lovely story with mediocre gameplay. I did like the disney princess you got as a companion but the rest was TURD
