I haven't really seen any attempt at humor in La Mulana but Guacamelee was worse than Borderlands 2

Having only played one of those games, and watching plenty of the other, i have to say that Blizz is still good at "easy to pick up" but not at all good at "hard to master"


You should be making a shitload of money on the tournament circuit if it's that easy for you to master either of those games.

Since it's not hard to master those games I assume you've already done so, so it oughta be pretty easy for you to pick up the $100k from the Hearthstone tournament at least. And there was just a $1 million HOTS tournament which you must have picked up some cash from so :shrug:

References are fine, but when there's hardly a screen or a sentence that isn't a reference to something it gets pretty lame. Apparently making that point means that I'm worked up into a rage though

like i know it's rad to spend your whole time at the record store flipping through obscure krautrock but you gotta keep in mind some bands that are on major labels and sell a lot of records are there because they are actually pretty good music

kinda weird to see the same exact rockism vs. poptimism crap when nerds talk about da video games

And some major label acts are just boring poo poo

girls can be gamers but gamers can't be girl gamers, your vagina has nothing to do with playing video games and has nothing to do with you being a gamer, if you call yourself a "girl gamer" instead of a gamer then you are most likely after extra privileges for being a girl like free gear, getting carried etc and as such you deserve to be ridiculed. If you use your gender in-game to achieve a positive reaction for yourself then you have to take the negative with the positive.

The campaign was mediocre and way too loving easy but no more so than call of duty or halo or any other two-weapon with regenerating health console FPS. Plus it had that one level where you get shrunk and at least that was something different

For me it seems like a single terrible design choice, not overall. Namely that they decided max resolution armor on everyone outweighs having the ground look like the ground. I agree smoothness is good, but consistant visuals are also important to smoothness. They should've lessened the overall resolution and increased the resolution of the floor to match. As it stands, turning looks janky regardless of 60fps. The heavy pop in is also detrimental imo, since you have twitchier gameplay. Idk about you, but I would immediately duck for cover and scope in if I saw that in the corner of my eye.

Agreed though that heavy variable resolution is rad, especially for fps since you can almost unload what is behind the player.

My point about 60 vs 30 visualy is that I'll never know if I'm not told. I've never played a game and been like "hmmm, this must be 30 fps". Yes some games are smoother, but that's not always fps.


Every single 60 vs. 30 fps problem could be solved by just having a counter at the top left that says "FPS: 60" regardless of whether it's actually 60 or not. All of the retards who won't play a game if it isn't 60 FPS wouldn't know the difference.

30fps isn't a dealbreaker but it's always very obvious to me if a game runs at 30 vs 60, in fact I'm surprised that some people apparently can't tell the difference.


Yeah just like the difference in quality is very obvious to an av retard who spends $8000 for a set of cables for his speakers that have been blessed by a yogi to remove all the negative emotion toxins

but i can also do that. or well, i can tell if its locked 30 fps, and i can also tell if it's locked 60 fps, and i can also tell if it's somewhere in between though there's like a 5-10 fps margin of error there

edit: i mean i don't think i'm counting the frames in my head or anything, i'm just checking how smoothly stuff moves in the game world and making an estimation based on that. i've more or less memorized how smooth 20, 30, 40 or 60 fps looks using commands like cl_showfps 1
