I only watch Vtubers because I can pretend they're all a bunch of hologram friends (with each other, I have no idea what any of them are actually doing when the computer is in sleep mode) with each other that play video games because I have to believe that this dystopia we're all trapped in is actually really interesting and cool instead of just being soul and energy draining.

So, did this thread get posted in another thread or is there some other reason why there is an uptick in that kind of poster stumbling in here? I thought that this short M. Night Shyamalan appreciation video was pretty good. I'm surprised how much I agree with him despite only genuinely liking 2 Shyamalan movies. Center Row - "M. Night Shyamalan Deserves Your Respect.

This is from a few pages back, but I decided I'll give the full context on the AC:Odyssey "gotta have a baby" stuff. I played Odyssey last year and when the segment happened I had to take a break and google wtf was happening and to reaffirm my feelings that this was not okay. The babymaking happens in the first DLC and the main game is very respectful in allowing you to choose whether to be Alexios or Kassandra and who do you want to or don't want to bone. The DLC was made by a different studio, and it doesn't really add anything new to the game and manages to add confusion to the overall narrative of the series the actual order of assassins won't be founded for another 400 years but apparently an order of not-assassins exist in Persia. It's pretty easy to just skip the whole ordeal. Okay, so at a certain point in the DLC the main character just decides to settle down and have a baby. The game has so far had little conversations about the topic, but I played my Kassandra as a queer who would never settle down, and the game just promptly ignored all my previous choices and suddenly Kassandra was building a family with a character who I had shown no romantic interest in and who had the personality of a paper bag (can't even remember his name). The dialogue option to say "This is just about securing the family line" or something was added later after the backlash. This doesn't affect anything in the game, and they didn't change the VO line. Also it doesn't really make sense, because (major spoiler for the main game) at this point the main character is immortal and still alive in the modern day And after this the DLCs main baddie, who I guess is pissed that the game forgot he exists, shows up to kill your partner and steal your baby, because apparently you need a personal stake in the plotline for the third act in a three act play. And after the bads are dead and the baby is saved, the mentor character of the story adopts the baby and goes to Egypt for reasons I guess, and this is never mentioned again. So in conclusion it's a bad and insensitive DLC. The reason it felt so jarring and caused a backlash was because up to that point the game had been pretty good about things like that. AC:Odyssey is a fun and beautiful game, you should play it but skip the first DLC.

For a while I thought fallout 4 was kind of bad for sticking the protagonist in a straight relationship with a kid regardless of preferences. But in retrospect that's not an unusual situation for gay people to find themselves in and develop personally from (minus baby most often I think) The game lets you decide your own path between hunting Kellog or finding your baby. You even have the option to symbolically throw away/sell your wedding ring. When you finally find your son you have no end of options on how to deal with the situation.

What annoyed me was the game railroads you along a fixed unbending narrative that you are, in fact, a good and honorable person just trying to find your son. Even if you've been eating corpses, being a complete rear end in a top hat in your dialogue choices, and shooting innocent people for fun to take their stuff. And eating their corpses.

Codsworth isn’t the only person you talk to, and a lot of the dialogue options in FO4 are too vague about what you’re selecting. While what you’re talking about IS there in theory, the narrative through-line isn’t; picking angry or sarcastic will likely see you be angrily and sarcastically seeking your son, without much indication that it will be about your son. I get where you’re coming from comparing it to AC:O, but don’t get caught up defending Fallout’s more benign bad writing.

This is blatantly not true. Just taking some example dialogues between vault 101 and Killing Kellog I found these. quote:Mamma Murphy: You're a man out of time. Out of hope. But all's not lost. I can feel... your son's energy. He's alive. You can be sarcastic through Pipers entire interview without mentioning your son. With Nick Valentine if you focus the conversation on Kellog it beelines to him. Then when you find some clues in Kellogs house you encounter dogmeat and you get 2 dialogue branches. quote:Player response A: Take me to him, boy. Take me to Shaun... quote:Rhys: So I can't figure out why you're sticking around. You got what you wanted, so why don't you hit the road? Pretty sure you can get through the whole game with maybe 2 mentions of your kid once you leave the vault.

FO4's writing felt so bad, like download the mod that actually shows what your options will say and a lot of them are basically the same thing, but worded a little different.

Or freeing because it meant having to write less when every option is "Hero Line" "rear end in a top hat Line" "Persuade Nice" "Persuade Rude". For a game where you only have 4 choices for every encounter your line to line character seems so disconnected from anything they said before if you deviate even a little.

FO4 became more fun when I started roleplaying that I was a synth with implanted memories of my son as an experiment by the Institute. Dogmeat was also a synth. I actually wanted to make an essay about it and submit to a conference to see what would happen.

Besides the lightning rod that being on a forum becomes, I wonder if it's also been influenced by platforms like Patreon - in order for someone to feel "closer access to a creator" being a perk they have to kinda withdraw from the platforms where they're easily accessible. While a lot of folks join a Patreon for the creator's direct sake and don't expect really much more, there are others who have a strong "notice me senpai" desire that can be monetized (Patreon/superchat), and pleb access on SA or elsewhere breaks that.

Nuns with Guns posted:"Mass Effect did this and everyone loves Mass Effect!" - Someone in Bethesda in 2014-2015 The 4 dialogue options are probably due to a voiced PC creating so much more work on dialogue (also controller support) Often you don't have as many as 4 because 2 are the same.

Also I said it when it came out and I still feel the same way after messing with the game again some recently, I really don't like the voiced protag, one thing is FO4 specific where some of the line reads just sound really weird and others patched together not super well, but also because when you only have Male Voice and Female Voice it kinda takes away from making 'non-standard' characters it always feels like to me, if you're always gonna have plain white guy voice blabbing out your dialogue choices, it makes playing distinct characters feel worse.

It kneecaps itself from the start with the premise of it being fictional scenario even within the AC universe. The animus may be a sort of VR system but at least the events it recreates really happened; that was literally just a video game within a video game.

I regularly get the impression that Bethesda just... does not like Fallout as a setting, but is married to it for brand recognition. Slowly turning the series' most recognisable elements into shambling skin puppets that dance around as the writers continually, viciously ignore any of the themes/plot-threads of the previous games and anything actually interesting they accidentally stumble into of their own make in favour of utterly braindead cliches and gimmicks.
