Like using Sniper Wolf's handkerchief to keep the wolves from attacking you

That's a really weak attempt at character-sniping. Try harder! You're getting awful worked up that someone likes a game you don't mate. Have you tried playing a nice relaxing game of blood bowl to chill out? 2house2fly posted:Sure, but in a genre where it's often possible to make people see reason through your Speech skill or whatever, an antagonist who can't be reasoned with (whether because they're beings of elevated godlike intelligence or because they're malfunctioning robots depending on what the plot is at the time) is another way of placing them outside the game mechanics. Which is an interesting idea, but it doesn't seem like Bioware thought any more about it, if they even thought about it at all and that's not just me reading into it Yeah, but if it can't be reasoned with, it can't be fought, and it can't be lived with how does the player interact with it without dying or fleeing? Mass effect is a campy happy setting, a looming, unstoppable, galaxy wide extinction that can only be nihilisticly accepted is at massive odds with that. Conning the reapers into thinking that exploding each other by messing with their code or some such or just talking them down fits better with the overall tone. People in general liked the bits where you talked to them, why take those away instead of making them a focal point?

I just think it's weird to extrapolate "HE-MAN WOMAN-HATER KEEP THE SLUTS PREGNANT AND STUPID" from someone expressing that they don't think revelation of a sexual identity is an appropriate or interesting reward for a "videogame". I only responded to (unrelated) accusations, I didn't put the saddle on that pony.

a bone to pick posted:jc3 barely works on any of the systems it was released on lol. haven't played it myself but my girlfriend seems to play it pretty well on the ps4 mostly by watching her play mgsv I found myself reflexively thinking "shoot the grappling hook! glide! god why do you run everywhere it takes forever" and then I remember you could never do something that goofy in a serious game for serious adults like mgsv. plus I don't know if it's its age or what but mgsv looks pretty bad. like, lo-fi. low resolution textures. poor, washed out color palette (the original mgs was like the single ps1 game with good colors) and the stealth part looks inferior to hitman. it does nothing that other games don't do better. kojima really dropped the ball on that one I don't watch cartoons, it's a gift from a fan

Gone home does not present it's lesbian romance as titillating. Gone home was written by the same women who wrote the bioshock 2 DLC, MInerva's den. She is a lesbian who grew up in seattle during the 90s, and decided to write a small game reflective of her own experiences. Gone homes main story is a simple, sweet love story told without any exploitive elements. It you cannot relate to finding and being in love, than a large portion of the game is not going to make any impact on you.

maybe it's my age speaking but I appreciated the portrayal of the parents much more, especially the dad in all his cringy daddiness. I was so happy that he found closure by becoming a cult classic author

Metal gear solid 2 is a great and fun game that gets worse the further you get. That game falls off the deep end in a way that's loving dumb.

Gone homes main story is a simple, sweet love story told without any exploitive elements. You can relate to something and still think it's a lovely product. I battle clinical depression and that didn't make me think that Depression Quest was any good either. "Oh you just don't get it because you haven't been there" is one of the laziest ways to defend a product. I've also never been a svelte half-demon with a giant sword but I didn't need to relate to Devil May Cry 3's protagonist to figure out it's a loving awesome game.

gone home 2: the chilling story of how a man lost his keys and locked himself outside his bachelor apartment. Twist: The keys were in his pocket the whole time, but he didn't feel them. you unlock the pieces of this mystery by collecting fragments of a greasy pizza box and doing the dishes

Depression Quest had a really narrow and judgmental view of depression. in fact the idea itself of making a game of depression and therapy is kinda offensive, specially if you keep score of how "right" the player's approach to depression is. two wrongs may not make a right but I'm happy that criticism of the author overshadowed the game itself because if it had gained any sort of mainstream success, it could have been really damaging to people who already suffer enough without some chode believing they know better because they read about it in a videogame
