precision posted:guacamelee is legit funny idk how there is even room for debate here Memes trigger some goons. A lot. Anyway, my gaming foray right now is that I've gone back to... Dota 2. Yes, I know. I just randomly select a character in games and don't give a poo poo about my 'performance' and I'm actually doing surprisingly well so far. I used to go all tryhard on 'perfecting' a character by playing it 5+ times in a row but it usually bored me to tears. I highly recommend not giving a poo poo and just randoming all day long, you actually learn a ton that way.

precision posted:one day, i will actually try playing DOTA or LOL or whatever one is popular now I've never played Awesomenauts so I dunno about that game but IMHO Dota is the best MOBA but also the one with the highest barrier of entry for newcomers. LoL is easier to learn but not as interesting, but YMMV. They are both F2P so no harm in trying them both out. Dota 2 has a bunch of decent tutorials nowadays so you should have a general idea of what to do in a match, and the game does a good job matching you with equally stupid players. I also recommend reading this guide once in a while as you play more games. If you know someone who already plays Dota he can 'coach' your match by spectating live and giving you pointers which should help a lot. The worst part of the MOBA genre is the often toxic community, but in general it varies greatly from match to match how bad it is. I suggest using the mute button liberally or just playing with friends a lot.

Propaganda Hour posted:Heroes of the Storm is a lot of fun to start out because it introduces aspects of the game to you at a rate that isn't frustratingly overwhelming or coddling. Unlike DOTA or League you can pick up most of what you need to know about playing the game in a match or two, and the different maps keep things interesting. Yeah I forgot to talk about Heroes of the Storm, it's definitely the easiest to pick up. Matches are shorter and the general mechanics are easier to learn. It's honestly pretty fun.

I can't think of a game more deeply autistic as Dwarf Fortress, so I guess it's art because it isn't 'mainstream'.

StashAugustine posted:i should really get mgsv before the entire game gets spoiled I haven't played it yet either but from what I've heard so far it's just like every other MGS game. Great gameplay, batshit insane storyline that doesn't quite work. Notable exception is MGS3 which had just the right amount of Kojima insanity.

The Mass Effect series is severely hampered by ~*choice*~ leading to all sorts of dumb solutions that make no sense. Like most of the ME2 cast being unplayable in ME3 because they might have died during the suicide mission. Choices that the game trumps up as very important but in the end usually results in getting some war points (or w/e it was called) from one party or the other, practically making no difference. Why should I care about the ultimate fate of race <X> when I never get to see what they are going to do anyway? For example, I decided to give that Reaper thingie at the end of ME2 to Cerberus because it seemed like the best bet to gain an actual edge on them. Given how (unrealistically) large of a threat Cerberus was in ME3 I was expecting it to be a huge deal. IIRC it was just a couple of lines of dialogue and then I got some war points from one source or the other, the end. Why give me a choice if it's not going to really matter anyway? Anyway, the gameplay was fun and there's a bunch of characters that I really liked but at the start of ME2 I decided to not take its story seriously at all because of the above issues.

The Citadel DLC is the best part of the entire ME series, but ME2 is still the best overall.

Cyron posted:pretty mush, their a race of assholes who use slavery as a culture defense. them dying is great. Funniest part is that every single Batarian AFAIK was complete scum up until ME3 where you meet a Batarian in the lobby who seems like a decent person. Even real life countries that actually do that poo poo have a ton of people in it who are as disgusted by it as everyone else generally. Bioware is racist against Batarians is what I'm saying.

Nasgate posted:Halfway through ME2 I stopped because even though it's prettier and more fun, the story blows chunks. Going with a universe ending plot instead of it being Universe Cop 2 was a terrible decision. Dear Bioware, your lore writers suck, which means I couldn't give a poo poo about saving your universe. ME2's overall story is incredibly bad but it had some cool characters and fun gameplay.

The saddest part is how they could just literally license an emulator or program one themselves and call it a day. But that would be too logical.

Broseph Brostar posted:Are there animes that actually mention the atrocities committed by Japan in WW2? Not that I know of because A) it pisses off conservative Japanese because B) China and North/South Korea use it as political ammunition, leading to fun stuff like Chinese nationalists thrashing Japanese shops and cars while the cops look on for 10 minutes before intervening because of some diplomatic spat over a tiny island with oil and gas surrounding it. Their sentiment is generally "yeah we did some bad poo poo but so did they and we already apologized for that publically 20+ years ago so why do they keep bringing it up?" I'm not saying it's a smart stance but that's the way it is. Note that WW2 was a terrible time for the Japanese, I do remember some anime in an alternative universe where Japan never lost the war and it was basically portrayed as Nazi Germany without ethnic cleansing, but I forgot the name. All things considered most Japanese prefer to just not talk about it in public.

Broseph Brostar posted:There's so many animes that deal with the effects of the war on Japan, you'd think they might mention the reasons why. The reasons why are almost always implied, not directly discussed, because it's less painful that way. In my experience other 'controversial' issues are often dealt in a similar matter. It doesn't necessarily mean that they believe nothing bad happened, it's often quite the opposite.

From what little I've seen on streams it's a lot like the Super Robot Wars series. They just dump all of their popular IPs in it and make up a batshit insane story.

Lurdiak posted:I remember when Nintendo Power docked some points for Mega Man X3 being "too much like other mega man games" being the first time I realized game reviewers didn't know what the hell they were doing. Well that and the fact that they rarely seem to actually play the game to completion. Also a weird obsession with subjects like ludonarrative dissonance, Citizen Kane and women's rights.

Are you playing the Scholar of the First Sin edition? They ramped up the difficulty by quite a bit due to some nasty enemy placements, especially in the earlier areas. Anyway the rapier and mace are the best weapons you can get early, and just plain great weapons for the entire game if upgraded.

I like it when games give me the choice whether or not to kill the main bad guy when I've already killed a hundred of his mooks. I guess killing is only bad if the NPC has a name.

Cardboard Box A posted:MUGEN fanpacks are now getting commercial releases? Well more characters for saltybet either way. A couple more anime based 2D fighters have been released the last couple of years although they are usually Japan only. Unless you are a massive weeaboo you aren't really missing out IMO. Apparently they are relatively cheap to make and the otaku crowd loves them 2D fighters. EDIT: I don't mean the super popular shonen fighters (DBZ, Naruto etc), those are actually good.

Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax I haven't actually played the shonen fighters myself but like you said they have a bigger budget and they generally seem to have been received well afaik. Note that the weeaboo fighters often have ridiculously high prices (I think last time I checked out the Japanese PSN store some of them were upwards to 8,000 yen, lmao).
