Caesar Saladin posted:lmao okay i'll concede that no video game story is good enough to be experienced and appreciated as a masterpiece hundreds of years in the future Get back to you one that in 200 years I guess, people might be talking about the deeper meaning of halo 3 then. Like with movies cinematography and gameplay which have a pretty sound set of steps to success, there must be a method that produces a good story for a game that can be followed and will pull all the right leavers in people's brains and make literary professors gush over it for centuries.

Eh, I dont think the sc2 editor is bad because blizzard Activision sucks balls(which they really do, for the record). It's pretty clear they saw the popularity of the wc3 editor and how many very much not warcraft 3 games people made in it and decided sc2 should get a bigger, badder editor that didnt need you to custom script in order to do that stuff. And to their credit it does what they intended and is an incredibly powerful tool. It's just they forgot about user friendliness so the editor takes a bunch of busywork and files for even basic tasks and there is next to no documentation. Basically I guess what I'm getting at is that the devs heart was in the right place, they just hosed it up. Which is a very different sort of gently caress up than what they turned into.

Holy poo poo Dirt 5 is so bad. Gotta vent for a second, already asked for a refund. 1) The AI is BROKEN. I heard the AI was easy so I turned it up to the highest difficulty right when I started the game. I then proceeded to take first place in twenty straight career races. I was winning three minute races by over 15 seconds, I usually wouldn't even see the other cars after about 20% into the race. No challenge whatsoever, I mean this is a serious problem that I can't BELIEVE they haven't fixed by this point in its release. And get this: this was before I figured out the button for the handbrake which allows you to make tighter low speed turns. 2) Online matchmaking was also broken. Couldn't race a single actual person. It showed that I was the only one in the lobby even though that seems pretty unlikely. 3) Time attack was kinda fun but then I started getting first and seconds GLOBALLY. How? I'm not a loving racing game genius, I'm decent but has no one played this game? There's no way I should be getting first place in the world after playing for less than four hours. 4) Not enough cars, not enough tracks. 5) Physics weren't awful but they weren't great either. Definitely not lifelike, but that's a minor gripe. Basically it's a glitzy coat of paint on a stinky turd. A sad fall from grace. Maybe not as bad as Project Cars 3, which took an amazing crunchy sim racer and turned it into the blandest, most content-poor crap racing game ever. But this is a close second. Dirt 4 was undoubtedly better, more realistic, and more challenging. Codemasters is basically hosed at this point, which is sad because they own all the best series and basically have a monopoly on most racing titles. In fact the best racing game that came out recently, WRC 9, was one of the only non-Codemasters racing titles to come out recently. Funny how that works

Every time some nerd tries to analyse a video game like an art house movie or literature my eyes gloss over and I just see and hear colours, and not in a good way. Mm yes, you can see by Shooty McStrongmans armour that he represents the moral ineptitude of the blah blah blah.

Some equipment is forever but the tools you use need to get replaced and get used up and it was so tedious and slow even on easy mode I gave up before I ever figured out how to explore the crashed ship. I'm not sure what version you played but you literally just need to change the batteries

The only real difference between them and a literary professor is the prestige society gives the professor. One semester I had an english literature lecturer who tried to start a discussion about what can be defined as literature, only to end the discussion stating that the only thing that counts as "legitimate" literature are works that make references to older and more esoteric literature. I get he was trying to make a distinction from something like a pamphlet in a doctor's office but the guy reeked of unjustified elitism.

That's actually sadly true, a lot of "classic" literature is pretty bad Hemingway especially is an overrated hack. I'm not joking, gently caress that idiot. Hemingway is self-insert-erotic-fan-fiction tier.

There's a reason the Dracula everyone pictures is from movies and cartoons, not the book. The original book was a pulp techno-thriller with a goddamn cowboy.

The problem is that what is viable for player interaction in a game is mostly limited to the physical. Walk here, shoot this, push this block. If you're being true to games being an interactive medium the closest analog in literature is an adventure paperback, or in film an action flick. As far as turning something like character dynamics into a form of interaction we still haven't surpassed the simple trees you'd encounter in a cya book or text adventure from the 80s. lurker2006 fucked around with this message at 09:21 on Mar 27, 2021 |

Sometimes a show will capture your attention momentarily, but there's no real way to sit and watch just a TV show straight unless you do some drugs that make you don't wanna move or think or do other things. What you are saying is so obvious I feel like a dumbass but yeah, I've never had a 2nd monitor setup,

I love having two monitors but pretty much entirely for productive stuff. Whenever I try to game and watch something I end up doing one or the other, whichever is more interesting. I don't see the appeal in being overwhelmed with media honestly. But I'm a weirdo who plays video games almost always with no audio. And I don't play music while I game usually.

Having had multiple monitors for over a decade I have never been able to focus on a television show and a game at the same time. I remember one time I turned on the TV to pass the time while autorunning somewhere in an MMO and I quit that MMO less than 10 minutes later when I realized I would rather look away than play it

i kind of wish there was a game i could combine with being productive, like something turn based with waiting times that doesnt require constant action on my part but still makes progress based on my decisions, also lightweight so it's not an ordeal to start up or shut down or minimize. i work best when i can occupy part of my mind with something else, as long as i don't have to pay attention to it too much. simulation games are good for this but ive played most of them to death

Its the only one of those types 4x grand strategy games I've ever been able to get a real good grip of, and there are definitely moments of just waiting for events to be able to play out as it chugs along at whatever speed you set it. I've only got experience with the console version, but the updates for it are catching up quickly to the PC updates and I found it pretty playable control-wise on the PS4 controller so I imagine the PC version might have controller support too.
