It was the ultimate power move by Kojima, when Snake Eater was ported to the 3DS and heavily advertised with the 3D gimmick, to halfway through the game disable the 3D because Snake loses an eye and thus depth perception.

I just paid $4.29/gallon to fill up my car in northern VA, how's it looking everywhere else? Good news is that car doesn't see much use anymore so I probably won't have to fill it up again for months (unless assholes siphon it, which I bet will become a thing in the coming months).

I'm not a Souls fan. At all. But I'm now an Elden Ring fan. I'm still not going to have any interest in another standard Souls game, but ER2 yes please. The open world/freedom of choice makes all the difference.

I don't think anyone ever answered my question. In Elden Ring are there NPCs you can kill that don't fight back? You know, like scientists. What are you doing Gordon?!

Harrow posted:It's also never been unclear to me why I'm fighting a boss. Every story-relevant boss (including side quest bosses) that isn't just a mindless monster of some kind has a clear reason for being where they are and a clear reason for fighting you which they will probably tell you in a cutscene before the fight or with mid-fight voice clips. what the gently caress is the tree sentinel's beef

Harrow posted:At no point in Elden Ring is it ever unclear what your character's motivation is. At the start you're some outcast who has been shunned by the light of the Main God but now the world is so hosed up that even outcasts are being called back to the land of the gods because nobody's been able to fix it. You're there because you've been called by the light of Grace to fix the Elden Ring, which will make the world un-hosed. Turns out you're not alone and other outcasts like yourself have been called back, too, and you meet a lot of them. Along the way you also meet NPCs who tell you all of the ways the world is hosed up and offer multiple options for ways to fix it, or not fix it, or throw the whole previous order away and take a new path, and that part's up to the player. who gaf about some smashed up ring. stupid fantasy wank

abigserve posted:I think kojimas games have a certain personality that elevates them above being just good games into being something memorable every time. The problem is that same personality often detracts from the game as well so idk I just want mgs5 but without the stupid story This is one reason why I prefer MGS games to Revengeance. Despite the silliness, I find MGR to be the most cynical game in the series, at least of the ones I' know of (I avoided MGSV stuff as much as possible). I might hate MGS4 with a passion but at least Raiden had a happy ending. There is no happy ending for him as of MGR, he just has to keep killing people because that's all he can do as a former child soldier. Kojima's message was always "no matter your circumstances, be it genetics or environment, you make your own choices and destiny." In MGS1, 2, and 4, Snake and Raiden go through a ton of poo poo in which every fiber of their being is scrutinized and attacked and everything they believe in is doubted....but they emerge from it as more whole and healthy people. Somebody earlier said Kojima got by doing something when everybody else was doing nothing. That might be true. But he was doing something with a noble aim. His reach might exceed his grasp but oh well, at least he was trying to pass on a positive message to millions of young people.

There's a discussion to be had about why (I like building decks, it's a low effort popcorn game, I won't pay for cards so I must keep playing if I want to be able to keep playing) they still play and it seems like a shame to just go LOL look at that time played and ignore what they're saying.

DOTA is objectively bad no matter how many hours one puts into it. I probably put 100 hours into it, that doesn't mean that I think it's a good game.
