why do video gamers feel compelled to say things like "that is the greatest video game ever made" or "that is the greatest game soundtrack ever made"? it's not like anyone reads a book and then rushes out to tell their friends about how that book is better than any other book that has ever been written

It's a very good game, but I think Donkey King is the best game of all time. Donkey Kong sucks! You know something? You suck! |

I played Danganronpa 1 and 2 a few years ago and got 3 for Christmas. Before starting on 3, I figured I'd watch a recap of the previous games as a refresher. The recap was nearly incomprehensible. I remember those being weird but hearing the plot summarized all in a row like that sounded like someone was just reading timecube. |

i'm curious, what do y'all call those fights in games where the correct outcome (for plot advancement) is to lose? i always called them must-die battles. also would really love to hear everyone's personal terminology for other specific game stuff |

cutscene lethality: a bioware centric problem where a heavily armoured knight who has just taken six fireballs and several axes to the head during gameplay is murdered like a little bitch by a dagger in a cutscene see also pistols in mass effect |

Lizard Wizard posted:oh hey, thanks for the info! what's a good class in 1 if i'm just, like, real bad at shooters? mass effect 1 has not aged well but if you have never played it before you will probably like it, most people just get shirty because people tend to get to bits like noveria after having replayed it four or five times and go 'oh christ not this again' it is a huge game though with long main quests so prepare yourself for that the underlying combat mechanics change completely in 2 though and vanguard becomes the correct and most fun class to play 3 is good, the ending is slightly better now, kai leng is a weeb mary sue and the citadel dlc is like a love letter to the entire series and should be considered the real ending also javik in 3 has possibly the best line of dialogue in any video game ever E: most importantly, just use the default male face in mass effect 1. you can make some really good faces but i guarantee the second your character appears in the unskippable intro cutscene you will nope the gently caress out and restart the game in horror Bobby Deluxe fucked around with this message at 09:53 on Aug 27, 2018 |

the problem is that games just hire tv and movie writers assuming the skills are transferrable. so the writer will attempt to increase the tension by upping the stakes for the main character and every loving time they do this by taking agency away from the player in a primarily interactive media the gta series are the worst. there are a ton of chase missions where if the dude escapes or you kill them you fail and have to do it again. but if you succeed, you get a cutscene where they escape or you are finally allowed to kill them and its like ffs. similarly missions where you fail if the dude you're protecting dies during the protection mission only to have them die during the cutscene afterwards |

im playing 7 days to die, which is quite buggy and also good. still a bunch of sexualized zombies which is kind of weird and icky base building is v chill, but doing most stuff requires scavenging nearby towns and farmhouses. this is very intense while high. basically any zombie movie scene when someone thinks a room is safe |

here is what you need to know if you want to play undertale: -don't read any spoilers other than this post -you can beat the game in one of three ways, either by killing every monster (the "genocide" run), by sparing and befriending every monster (the "pacifist" run), or by acting in between the two extremes (a "normal" run). each of theses three routes greatly changes the game and the ending. on your first playthrough, don't worry about trying to do any particular type of run. the odds are overwhelmingly high that you will just get the normal in-between ending. the pacifist run is unavailable until you've beaten the game at least once, and the genocide run is only started if you do some very specific things that are not immediately obvious
