How many cod freaks would lose their minds if fortnite popped up in their military shooter

This guy's Twitter account gives me weird vibes, like it's from some completely different culture.

Reminds me of watching Mr. Bean at my Indian friend's house as a kid for some reason.

Maybe that's what Fortnite is - the Mr. Bean of video games

This game is unplayable in its current state. I absolutely love it, play on realistic mode with a couple towns built on the map, very fun. The game right now is broken and unplayable. Every single winter, THOUSANDS of citizens die. I place heat processing plants in the town itself, they die of pollution. Remove the plants and place heat exchangers, heat to the max in the buildings, they still die. You CANNOT grow anything in this game like this. You would have to play with no winter enabled which removes a huge piece of the game.

okay that actually does sound like my jam lol

LISA is one of those weird voyeuristic trips through bad times that I just don't understand anymore. There's a lot of media like this that's like depression tourism (Last of Us comes to mind). I remember loving that kind of stuff when I was way younger and thinking it was "more real" or something, more honest about life, but now that I've lived with my own and my wife's depression it's just incomprehensible to me to ever want to experience anything that purposefully brings you down.

Anyway I hope you like the game if you like the game

I dunno, I want to die basically every other day and I didn't feel bad about playing TLOU or LISA at all.

I saw that the Fortnite skins for Coachella were more expensive than stuff actually at Coachella, a place that flexes captive pricing on you like crazy.

I think it's ultimately down to individual tastes, but about the best thing a narrative-heavy game can be is ~10 hours with a poignant story told in a weird world. I like miserable situations because I'm a miserable person and it's easy for me to get into that headspace, and in any case the stories tend to be more interesting.

About the worst thing a game can be is 60+ hours with a focus on the cinematic, I never played TLoU but it does that thing where you wade through a sea of blood to get to a moral quandary about the horror of killing so I could never take it seriously since that tells me the actual gameplay is just something grudgingly added at the end.

Basically anybody who wants to make a narrative heavy game should read a lot of Le Guin and commbloc sci-fi, which is why Death Stranding's narrative and structure made perfect sense to a very small selection of its players

I don't recall the first TLOU having a message about how killing is bad. Joel murdering some innocent doctors is portrayed as bad but the game doesn't exactly expect you to break down crying because you shot a bandit or the creepy cannibal guys. Honestly, I'm not even sure why people interpret TLOU 2 as judging them for killing all the time either; it's not like its doing the goofy Spec Ops thing and going "you could've dropped the controller and NOT killed these people".

It's possible I had the plot relayed to me in an inaccurate way, I'd say if I had to pick one sin of it that's bigger than any of the others it's that I was never a big fan of zombies as a genre and I rapidly came to just immediately loathe anything with them.

I get why people would like it, it clearly got all the attention and budget of a big production movie and if it wasn't making money it probably wouldn't be on its third remake, just definitely not for me

everyone took the mooks having first names as the game trying to make some big statement about your enemies being human too and tbh its probably intentional from ol Neil Druckman
