If Fallout: Newer Vegas isn't about the Tunnel Snakes meeting The Kings in the next great clash between east and west it will be a failure.

I'm really enjoying Owb, it's definitely the best dlc.The voice acting and dialogue is brilliant and as far as i'm concerned puts the main game to shame. http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198132275379/screenshots/

The upcoming 25th anniversary edition of Night Trap, the game so offensive and controversial that it more or less kicked off the moral panic about videogame violence in the early 90s that led to senate hearings and the creation of the ESRB, is rated T for Teen  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsRTQUjYfXI

People are idiots, looking to find the next thing to be afraid of. Look how easy it was to turn public opinion on weed, rock music, basically anything parents had an instinctive fear of can be made the new bogeyman. Night Trap just happened to be a game that was way too obtuse for it's own good so most people probably got bad endings and just assumed it was a game about watching young girls die instead of capturing Ninjas.

Mr. Flunchy posted:The Dreadful Crimes missions in Assassin's Creed Syndicate are absolutely amazing. You play detective and solve murders, piecing together motives and method from the evidence you sniff out in the crime scenes. You can accuse the wrong people too, so it's always tense when you think you've got it worked out. They seem better written and designed than the rest of the game too. It's a bit silly that they were relegated to PS4 exclusive DLC. I somehow played a couple of these on PC for free and I'll pick up the full thing if I get the chance, they're really cool and somehow feel out of step from the rest of the game like a slightly janky mod. It's nice to play a mystery in a game where you're not led around by the nose with no scope to get it wrong, very surprising to see it pop up in a game about jumping off buildings and stabbing people.

I for one, thank the ESRB for separating the wheat from the chaff and posting what I was looking for right on the box. "Oh gently caress this one has graphic violence AND partial nudity! Score!"

There is a sidequest to help Doctor 0 with his name, which he hates. If your science or int is high enough, you help him out by telling him to add a dash to make it a proper zero and his reaction is gold. Also, the doc with the messed up vocal processor can be translated if your science skill is high enough because he's talking in the RobCo programming language rather than English. Doctor 0 gave us Muggy, who is the best.

RBA Starblade posted:Actually, it's good. I never bought it and never played it, but I have read many articles about it. That qualifies me to heartily disagree and say that you are mistaken. It is bad. Why, metacritic alone is enough to see that. I mean, 84% from the press is pretty damning, but only half of actual player reviews are positive. Half. That's quite harsh and clearly non-biased and informed, subjective, and written with a clear head. I may never actually play the game, but I can tell you unequivocally that I don't like it and it is bad.

Well I finished Owb and loved it, didn't kill the scientists or Mobius cause I felt even though they were inhuman they weren't evil, just ignorant and unfeeling. Every one of the sink appliances was an absoloute highlight (toaster or muggy were my favourites though)

There's a ton of cool little things in owb, I remember finding out i could jump onto the roofs in Higgs Village and assumed there'd be nothing there, and there was a little skeleton with a bit of loot, just for me. A Ghost People outfit, the remains of a VR simulation that got smashed with an axe, a little weather station that remotely turns on the Higgs Village fountain, a stealth suit that won't shut up and to upgrade it you have to do a stealth course past a bunch of robots, but you can also smash up all the robots and if you do that the suit comments on it.

Don't forget you can get a gun that is actually a dog. And it perks it's ears up when your pointing at an enemy and it growls.  Shame it's a minigun though, I'm not really a huge fan of lugging around heavy weapons.

Though I just can't enjoy driving around in Mass Effect Andromeda, I do like how on Elaaden (the desert planet), the tire tracks don't just fade out after two seconds. They persist for long enough that I can see them stretching all the way over yonder sand dune when I look back. A very tiny thing that makes me feel like an explorer. Also the fact that the crafting system allows me to mod guns so that they shoot lasers, have infinite ammo and are named things like "Starblaster." I like that too.

A small thing that always tickles me, a joke in Lego City Undercover - there is a dumb joke that I know is not that funny, it's stupid and childish, and other games/movies have done the exact same joke and not got a laugh out of me, but it just hits me hard for no reason and gets me giggling like an idiot whenever I play - when you first go to the forest area and work for the Sheriff there, he is rehearsing a play reading lines with his squirrel friend Derek, who communicates in chittering noises. At one point Frank Honey accidentally breaks the coffee machine, and Derek chatters angrily, punctuating his sentence with a fart. The sheriff responds with "DEREK! Language!" I don't know why that always makes me laugh so loving hard, but for some reason the context of flatulence being a squirrels normal way of swearing is really funny to some dumb part of my brain. Anyone else ever come across anything like that, that they know isn't funny but just hits them the right way?

Iron Crowned posted:The best part about Fallout 4 is how many people have to openly trick themselves into enjoying a garbage game the most damning thing about it was how mediocre it was. It certainly wasn't terrible, but other than the spergy settlement building it was either identical or a big step backwards (I'm looking at you, extremely-limited weapon options, and no, the mods don't all count as different guns) to Fallout 3. In fact, you could have told me the whole game was an overhaul fan mod of Fallout 3 like the GECK or other Nexus mod and I could totally see it.

Lol let's not go nuts, you're forgetting what Fallout 3 was actually like.
