My current favorite thing to try to understand is conservatives having complete cognitive dissonance. "Christians are being persecuted! We need prayer in school!" "gently caress Muslims, just kill 'em all!" :Posts article about a town trying to ban Muslims from praying in school: Edit: These are the same people who want to ban all foods that are Halal. Good luck with your new diet that includes you not being able to drink water dude. Croatoan has a new favorite as of 14:40 on Apr 20, 2017 |

Like, how boring of a game are you playing that you're actually looking at your characters rear end? Andy Gavin's blog posted:Sensing opportunity, we turned to our own favorite genre, the character platform action game (CAG for short). In the 80s and early 90s the best sellers on home systems were dominated by CAGs and their cousins (like “walk to the right and punch” or “walk to the right and shoot”). Top examples were Mario, Sonic, and our personal recent favorite, Donkey Kong Country.

I only first heard the "Stare at the rear end" thing for World of Warcraft, back when it was normal to have people running female nightelves dancing on maleboxes in cities because that manages to get them tips... somehow. loving nerds.

I used to use the "stare at rear end" excuse, then I got tired of it and realised anyone who asks the question is likely a dipshit, so I started saying "because it gets dipshits mad". That answer also gets them mad. It's pretty funny.Field Mousepad posted:What the gently caress is wrong with you? Sorry you had to find out this way

I used to say it as a joke when I was 19 and playing DAOC, but the real reason that I played only female characters was that their avatars were smaller and thus more difficult to click in a chaotic pvp fight. I lied because that advantage would get diminished the more that people would try to take advantage of it.

RareAcumen posted:I feel like the issue people have with those games is Infinite only and the torture scene. TLDR:. Materials, ammo, and fusion cores cost too much money and powering the settlements was awkward and dumb. Fallout 4 suffered from not being New Vegas and having absolutely ridiculous requirements for maintaining power armor and upgrading weapons. You needed to carry an IKEA's worth of poo poo around with you to upgrade a gun or build some basic furniture. There were also a ton of bugs and a weird economy where you basically had to trawl the wasteland looking for garbage to build Generators to attach to your Water Purifiers to get thousands of Purified Water to take to merchants on separate trips (due to weight) who didn't have enough money to buy all of it anyway, and also were probably asleep or not open that day. Also Settlers would raid your weapons stash to use nuclear missiles on the local wildlife, and the water you were trying to sell wouldn't always generate properly.

In my case the female character thing is all about context. I bought God Eater 2 as it had a kinda badass pic of an anime girl... wielding a big fuckoff scythe fighting a ten-storey call Grim Reaper monster and I wanted to fight that, and the box art is not sexualised - she's wearing a standard school uniform, which is weird but whatever. i was annoyed when I started the game, as there is exactly one character who is over-sexualised and god is her design bad. I felt bait-and-switched, if I wanted an anime titty game I'd have just bought some garbage like Sengen Kagura or some poo poo, but I want to play cool fights against giant smoke skeletons, so give me that! It's like, you already sold the game based on a rad enemy design, the pandering in game is just unnecessary - you already got the dollars without it!

Kojema specified that Raiden needed a well defined rear end because the player would be seeing a lot of it. But it was important that Snake's rear end was even better.

The new Zelda has the opposite problem Twilight Princess had - TP had too many tools that were barely used despite being really fun, like the Spinner was fun to ride on the tracks with, the Dominion Rod had potential, but they were all underutilized. BotW had only a few basic tools for puzzles, not counting three types of elemental arrow, and gives them plenty of play but it overdoes all of them. By the time your back at Kakariko again to buy more fire arrows to melt another Glacier to get that one more Korok it's getting dull, and going straight through the plot keeps things moving but then you barely see any of the world. The game becomes either too short and too difficult, or too long and easy, based on how much stuff you deign to do. Even the big plot stuff comes down to rub the basic 5 tools on every one of the four dungeons, so the only difference is in Layout.

RatHat posted:Yes a "low" score of 7/10. Reminds me of when Jeff Gerstmann got death threats for giving Twilight Princess an 8.8 Well, in the video game review world, a 5 is absolute unplayable garbage that should never have been released, 7 is a mediocre game not worth playing, 8 is a solid game with a few problems and 9 is good with 10 being great. So weighted against the industry, it is a low score. And from what the rest of his review says, seems like a fine score for him to give, based on his personal opinions.
