exquisite tea posted:The fact that you are naming classic movies and directors that have remained culturally relevant over the mountains of cruft that was celebrated in its time but has since been forgotten is proof within itself that certain works age more poorly than others and that there is no objective standard of quality. To use your bad strawman example, do you know what won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1942? Not Citizen Kane. Not The Little Foxes. Not The Maltese Falcon. A little film called How Green Was My Valley, do you remember that one? Raxivace fucked around with this message at 02:26 on Mar 11, 2018 |

Raxivace posted:I've seen How Green Was My Valley. It's quite good and I'm pretty comfortable saying its better than Maltese Falcon '41, though I general I don't like Huston and I like Ford way more. It's a good movie, and I think Orson Welles even admitted he thought it much better than his own, but still hardly anyone has even heard of it

exquisite tea posted:No Man's Sky was rare in its aim to actively campaign for Most Disappointing Game of the Year as soon as it was announced. 95% of that was done by nerds on the internet jerking themselves off, though. Murray deserves criticism for saying BS, but they really didn't say all that much about the game before its release. Like 2-3 interviews over the course of a year or two. Its more a problem of not saying no more than saying a ton of things that definitely didn't exist ( other than multiplayer ) Nerds on the internet are real real bad about hyping themselves into false expectations; hopefully the sting of NMS made a few realize how pointless that is

Gullible fans can only be blamed to the extent that they enabled Sony's greed.

I'm playing The Order 1886 and while I'm glad Gears of Wars' influence on shooters is dying out (can't remember the last game where I walk slowly with my finger against my ear) I do like these big dumb shooters. And this one is pretty dumb. Very pretty though.

I got salty after losing the Media King's mini game challenge and getting a net loss of 20% on the most tedious part of the game that I put it off. So now I have to redo most of the Pocket Circuit, the Beast mode, getting Nugget, completing the Shroomer line, the last two Rush missions, and going from 86% of the media king's territory to 5%. Mine is a cautionary tale.

The one major issue I have is that taking cover is wonky, especially because the way you play a RE action game requires you to be kinda waffling around corners, but in this game you stick to geometry sometimes at random. Very annoying.

Accordion Man posted:Space games really seem to attract the head cases though, Zaphod is not entirely wrong. LIVE AMMO ROLEPLAY posted:Sony shouldn’t have hyped up the game and gamers shouldn’t project all their fantasies onto unreleased titles. Yep yep. I mean again, Sean Murray should never be allowed to speak to the press EVER again. Not saying otherwise. Molyneux levels of bs. But Molyneux got away with doing that for decades before people finally had enough from him. At a certain point, consumers are also being dumb. And yeah, Sony made everything way worse by taking an indie game and blowing it up at E3 so they had another cool thing to make them look good. Everybody involved looks bad, I just think space nerds expecting a game that lets them live their lives in the space matrix is especially ridiculous and can't be ignored. Jay Rust posted:Speaking of which, is Star Citizen just, like, dead? It won't be dead until there's no more space game suckers to pull money from, but its always been dead. They're basically running a ponzi scheme at this point where they sell ships that don't exist to raise funds to make the ships they already sold and promised, constantly keeping the cycle going and never actually getting anywhere. Its a very very expensive spaceship jpg generator.
