BATTLETECH had he/she/they pronoun options. The moment I saw that I had to go and see nexusmods if some chud had modded the "they/them" out. Of course it had. Mods are cool, but like all of gaming, it's full of sick people who are usually perverts and/or chuds. But it's pretty easy to navigate around them.

Superhot VR has been patched so the final bit where you point the controller at your own head and pull the trigger has been removed. That's some bullshit and they should have made it an option for people to skip if they struggle with suicide and self harm. It was a loving brilliant plot twist. Also, here's an idiot opinion brought to you by The New York Times:

No you see its better to have a world where we insist on not offending anyone and instead let the entire population collapse into mental illness from being constantly advertised and sold too.

The plot of superhot is weird but it's part of how the entity telling you what to do gets you to digitize your mind. Superhot does the game within a game thing and at one point when you're supposed to be in the inner game you walk in to what was earlier shown to be the real 'you' in the outer game and you've got to shoot 'you' to progress. Irrespective of anything else, the story of superhot is overbearing and trite and really gets in the way of a novel concept, though I don't think that's an unpopular opinion.

You're trapped in the game and eventually you realize there's only one way out. Like I said, people should have the option to not have to do something like that but it's pretty loving literally mindblowing.

There used to be a toggle right at the beginning of the game that lets you turn off disturbing scenes and you couldn't proceed unless you picked one or the other, so I don't know who they're catering to by removing the choice entirely

I really hated that aspect of Superhot. If it had just been a game where you play short, puzzlish action scenes, Superhot would be fine. But they try to get meta and the problem with any kind of heavily scripted story where developers are trying to manipulate their players is that players don't interact with the game the same way. What happens if I just say "gently caress you!" to the orders and ignore them? Nothing? Well then, I've just wrecked your story's themes because I'm not choosing to do this stuff, you're literally forcing me. "Ha ha ha look at what you did!" doesn't work as a revelation when I have no agency. The exact same thing happened to me in Bioshock when I decided in the bathesphere to do the exact opposite of what Atlas told me to do. So many, "would you kindly"'s followed by me refusing to do it. Needless to say, it undermined the story a lot.

Like, no I didnt choose who dump white phosphorous on these babies, you made me press x to advance. I didnt want to shoot the American soldiers, I tried to say hi and they shot me. Now Alpha Protocol, thats a game with some serious moral choices. Do i team up with the big titty russian supersoldier?

Spec ops is criticizing you for wanting to play the game you thought it was. Or so I've heard. Curious though I am, my willingness to play 2012 third person shooters is limited.

The best morality based game I've played recently was some arty VR game where you play a Headsman in a medieval city and have to listen to the condemned prisoner's sob stories before you behead them in the public square. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlvwi3mvPBQ "What's that young lady? You were raped by a Nobel and when you complained the Church sentenced you to death for adultery? Don't worry I'll try to cut your head off in one strike." *fucks up and it takes like 3 chops to get the job done*

Skyrim is a big open world that lets you spend hundreds of hours tooling around with the gameplay but what about that gameplay is good enough to be worth it? the combat is all "mash/hold one button until healthbar reaches zero" (for both melee and spells, although at least bows have some amount of aiming) and the dungeons are all boring corridors with maybe one match-3 puzzle halfway through

Most of Spec Ops is meant to be taken at face value, but the "lead writer" who was brought on to help finish the game crowbarred in some really dumb attempts to be clever and meta and rub your face in it. Though even removed from that context, the WP scene is awkward and ham-handed. A lot of the hubbub surrounding the game was basically invented from whole cloth by game journalists who were sick of reviewing Call of Duty games so when Specs Ops wasn't a big sloppy blowjob to the military they hyped it up into this deeply important galaxy-brained commentary on military shooters.

The Wiley Pete scene in Spec Ops was poor for player agency, but the later titular scene when one of your squad gets strung up by the angry Dubai citizens and you're forced to make a decision, under fire, in a limited time frame where your choices aren't immediately obvious is much better. And also the choice at the end of the game was pretty good also. Welcome to Dubai, indeed. Alpha Protocol was pretty loving great too, especially the bit as a veteran when you're given a choice of who to save and you can say, gently caress that, I'm saving them both. Or the rookie path where a bunch of responses are essentially "but it's my first day!".

Spec ops the line does the cool thing where your character loses clothes and stuff over the course of the game, except even the callouts and voiceovers change a bit. Kind of cool detail.

Having all of those songs in the radio rotation is a neat way to tie the experience together, where you hear "Volare!" on the radio and you remember the time you had to recover a plane from the bottom of a lake.

Kind of cool detail. Its one of the things I liked most about the game and showed the descent into madness the characters are experiencing. From highly professional and clean spec ops soldiers to bloodthirsty barbarians that are covered in sand and blood snarling for more carnage. Even the enemies get more and more scared of you as time goes on and you're turned into a one man army. It was also the first video game that really made me question what I was doing and changed how I've looked at games since. I never finished Skyrim because they told me to kill a cool dragon I liked. Before Spec Ops I would have just done it to see the story but after Spec Ops I said "gently caress this" and turned off the game. Edit: Ugly In The Morning posted:The recorded all the VO sequentially in one day and it shows, by the end everyone is completely ragged and exhausted. It works really well. That's really cool and makes me love the game more.
