ps: i do not actually despise no one lives forever, i just appear to have a lower opinion of its gameplay than many other people and think its general gameplay aspects are very weak compared to its writing, music and sense of style

i feel this is incredibly important enough in the video games forum to be worth clarifying

I would dress up as an Uru character for Halloween with a Yeesha journey shirt except that I know that for all the effort involved, nobody would would know who I was.

i read all of the books about the D'Ni kings in Uru. sometimes in my head I make "zooooOOOOOOO-AH!-ah!-ah-ah noise and pretend I am teleporting places.

I rather agree, NOLF 1 is good but the boss fights and some of the levels were terrible.

I'm in the second chapter of 2 and I'm loving the more Deus Ex style gameplay a lot more than the original but the constantly respawning enemies are terrible. Yes, let's have constantly respawning enemies in a stealth game, that's a great idea.

I always liked Samurai Shodown over Street Fighter. True fact.

E: I liked the Deud Ex:HR boss fights. I was part of the problem.

Also Return to Castle Wolfenstein sucks poo poo. Because forced stealth in a 90's style FPS fits so well.

SS has a more fun style of balance: Don't gently caress up, wait for the other guy to gently caress up. SF2 is more about combos and special moves, SS is about chopping the other guy in the face.

What I'm saying is I'm totally with you, also there needs to be a new Last Blade in the style of Guilty Gear Xrd.

True games confession: When I base how much I respect a person, or think they're cool...

Their skill at videogames doesn't factor in. Summarily, I also have very much less draw to be very good at any given game. I just use them pass the time.

Speaking of that, the only Zelda I've played since Link to the Past is Link Between Worlds and I don't feel bad about it.

Microsoft has changed all the wording on the xbox and does not list it as a videogame console anymore but as a Windows 10 compatible device.
