Real hurthling! posted:

i don't know if it still holds up today in terms of gamepaly. anybody play it recently?

Structurally i remember it being short episodes where they keep changing what character you use but the first 10 minutes of each character was the same sequence of discovering magic spells or whatever and i wished they had made the best characters' parts longer instead of chopping up the game so much.

was fun to beat in 2000 though.

the game actually had to be chopped up to poo poo because a big chunk of it was gonna take place in the middle east and 9/11 happened mid-development lol

Eternal Darkness, MGS2, GTAIII... We lost so much on that fateful day.

Drippy-goo-yay, mother-gunker!
When I was in fifth grade, going to the living room after school and finding the shattered pieces of my GameCube memory card lying all over the ground from someone accidentally stepping on it.

E: wait, IN a game... Max Payne's dead family, or Jenny's execution in The Darkness.

Probably when you get to Pripyat and Strelok is there and he looks beat down and tired as hell and just wants to leave.

I also felt a deep void form in my soul in episode 45 or whatever one in MGS5, recently, kind of similar to when Adriana dies in the Sopranos.

I also despite playing it probably 5 years after release managed to avoid the Aeris Dies spoilers when I played FF7 on PC and I was just staring at the Please Insert Disk 2 or whatever screen for a few minutes when that happened. I don't know if this is upsetting though, I'm usually more just stunned or something. I did find the strelok thing to be fairly upsetting though I guess.

Seeing Jenova in the tank thing was pretty nasty when I was 12 or w/e. Hell, hearing Bowser shout racial epithets with gusto in Mario Kart 8 was some poo poo...

I felt a twinge of pain when I saw Bond with DD has decreased appear on the screen after accidentally shooting him. Also the part of that mission where you go in the quarantine area in MGS5 and your homies stand up and salute you before they die or whatever happened was awesome, but sad.

What's kid you up to now? Do you keep in touch, or is he locked up in your house somewhere, sedated, where you gently caress him?

i think you have to have summoned him in the Abyss fight for the cutscene to actually change. or you at least have to have freed him in the Abyss. if you missed that stuff i dunno if it does anything.

It ain't really that gruesome dude. I'm the last person in the world who wants to see people's poo poo get split open and whatever and I feel faint at the sight of blood but really... It's watchable.
