Rinkles posted:i'm aware i might be in a minority, but just wandering the city and its outskirts brought me some joy I liked the city design and it was definitely pretty but at least at the time I played I kept running into so many glitches that would randomly kill me or send me flying 500 feet backwards that I kinda gave up on it after a few hours. Didn't help that if I did want to go somewhere specific that the map couldn't keep up with my motorcycle driving speed and I'd miss my turns to the point where I just fast traveled which I usually don't do in a modern/future setting open world game.

I've watched a few but they usually felt like normal-ish albeit tim-infused previews/reviews watch Dragon Quest 11 review and Death Stranding review

I never played Cyberpunk 2077 and I almost certainly never will, but I watched this review. I watched part 1, and then he told me to pick two parts, so I picked parts 4 and 5, but then in watching part 5 he told me that he never intended viewers to actually follow his instructions. But I know when I'm being tricked. I'm going to go right to the ending and not watch any of the parts I skipped.

It is such a small thing, but my favourite, absolute favourite bits of Tim Rogers videos are when he says something and then uses the doom shotgun sound effect. Usually it punctuates a joke, sometimes for effect, but it always, always gets me.

If you want most of the Tokimeki Memorial video without watching it, he cribs a lot from Tom James' essays: https://freelansations.medium.com/2009-a-dating-sim-exodus-33955ee92613 https://freelansations.medium.com/25-years-with-an-invisible-elephant-in-the-room-6e5402c93960

Finished his Cyberpunk review, had the luxury of being able to watch while working from home so I wasn't fully invested but its still good coverage, feel like I've seen everything I want from the game and I don't need to play it. It's outstanding how much effort Tim puts into his videos and I really do look forward to the next game he covers that I'm more familiar with.

I watched all of 4 and was gonna do 5, but then he told me not to do 5 so I watched like 20 minutes of 6 before going back and actually watching 5, and then I watched 20 minutes more of 6 before jumping into 3 and from there I'll probably jump into the final one without finishing 6, so really he achieved the intended effect of making it seem like I'm really playing a choice-based video game.

My watch order has gone Intro, Parts 2 & 6, Finale. Intro again followed by Parts 1 & 3; Finale. Next up is Intro, Parts 4 & 5, Finale. That will complete my full play through of Tim Roger's Action Button Review of Cyberpunk 2077. Walla posted:Honestly I kind of want one of those jackets but I would never wear the thing. I'm a hoodie man. I have purchased a single hoodie in my life. It was in 2008 and I was in Germany on a language exchange program. My study group was having a day trip to Munich where my attempts to order items and food in Deustch were answered by the locals with clear, slightly accented English. It was in one store I encountered a Life Line Hoodie. Life Line is a Dutch company and its hoodie was all black outside and inside. This was a style the tag called "Vader ". Whether this is a reference to the infamous Star Wars villain or simply a "Dad" hoodie I have still not determined. The inside is lined with a fur-like material which insulates my body heat so well I can walk outside with it on a cold New England winter day and remain warm. I purchased it for 70 Euros. Less than what one fellow classmate paid for a knife and a UEFA Euro 2008 German National Team jersey. People have commented on the quality of my hoodie at times over these last thirteen years. Although one have asked where they could buy one. Which is fortunate as a recent check of https://www.golifeline.nl shows that Life Line no longer makes hoodies.

I have bad ears that don't do well with the cold and a hood is just more comfortable than earmuffs. Also wearing hoodies means I can do ponchos, like my blue one made of alpaca wool.

I watched it all and it was good. But there is a very weird Breath of the Wild hole in it. He talks so much about open world games and then barely mentions BotW, pretty much the most important open world game of recent years. Seemed like a very weird omission. Maybe it will get more talk in the review of an open world game he mentioned he’s working on - presumably LA Noire?

Watching the Tokimeki Memorial video, Tim dropped his 2020 goty top 3 here as a brief non sequitur graphic and afaict nowhere else on the internet. I am very amused by that.

I’m about 1/4 through that video and the connections he makes about different games is actually really interesting. I also lol’d at the White Castle bit. Is it actually possible to play Tokimeki in English these days? I have to assume someone has done a fan translation. Obviously not of the voice work though.

It was about degrees of authenticity. Cyberpunk is sold as "Authenticity: The Game". If authenticity is a spectrum, with "expensive as gently caress japanese replica jacket" on one end, and "cheap halloween suit" at the other, Cyberpunk falls somwhere around "jacket from Drive"
