the mass shooting thread is also a disaster because a) its a "mass shooting megathread" in The Funny Politics Forum and b) like half the thread is against gun control because they might need guns for an armed revolution, so all that gets posted is blaming every mass shooting on capitalism



thankfully they're IKing it after someone got banned for lolling at mass shooting victims at a bank or something

It was a bloodthirsty excitement that more bankers could've been killed. Like a "aim better next time" vibe.

its not even for big mass shootings, people just post any link they can find from their local tv stations and make themselves paranoid idiots like their racist suburban parents who are afraid of the cities

my alma mater had swans in the lake and they were so beautiful and i loved walking past them on the way to class, which cut directly next to the lake. then they had goslings and i had to start hauling rear end to class or else their special meter would fill

the whole thing was streamed live, you could see the crowd crush happening and hear people, it was awful

grim detail: the Apple iMusic live streaming platform pretty much caused it


it's the huge horizontal barrier making the third wall that trapped people trying to head away from the stage (orange is where ppl died)

its p. hosed how nobody at livenation or apple was ever held accountable for that

also how drake came out like 90 minutes after 6-7 fatalities were already confirmed, did a 20 minute set to close out the show, and then went to dave & busters with travis afterwards

Is this what happened at the fortnite Travis Scott concert and why it hasn't come back?

So what's the real story about God Hand? It become infamous because a reviewer game it a really bad score because he was so bad at the game is the one I've heard.

Not just one reviewer, tons of them. It reviewed terribly because it's a pretty weird and idiosyncratic game that reviewers couldn't get their heads around.

Then it became a cult classic because it turns out as soon as you do get your head around it it whips rear end.

Endorph

god hand is a pretty ugly late ps2 game that punishes new players hard. its a good game but its graphics are best described as 'dynasty warriors 5' even if the character designs are decent and its plot is mostly just a series of gags accompanied by a loose riff on devil may cry 3. its music is good but beyond that the only real appeal point it has is its gameplay, and its gameplay is a punishing 3d brawler. a good one, but it has a lot of esoteric mechanics and doesn't ease you in at all.

shockingly this did not go over well with game reviewers who only play a game for a couple of hours.

Greg Kasavin, who would later be a founder of Supergiant Games, gave God Hand an 8.0 which i think is the correct score for God Hand

it’s worth noting that this was long before Twitch and YouTube could save obscure games, and big reviews could really sink something strange that didn’t have a marketing budget.

I also speculate that reviewers generally feel like they have to be too even-handed and safe in reviews, and some relish the opportunity to tear a game to shreds when it’s an easy target.

Furthermore, I think as we entered the 360 generation, there was a general skepticism/revulsion at anything that was too archaic, goofy, colorful or especially Japanese. This was the same year as dark realistic Bomberman.

I think a game like God Hand would stand a much better shot if it released today. Difficulty can be a selling point, along with camp. Sifu is an extremely challenging 3D brawler that released recently and quickly found a following.
