Only problem with W10 is Cortana hearing Russian and Googling random poo poo during Dota 2. She's obviously trying to get me to quit so it's not that big a deal.

I like to watch my brother stream games from before I knew videogames existed. Also fun to watch pro Dota players stream and win with stupid builds.

corn in the bible posted:peace walker sucks dude As someone who loved peacewalker. This is true. Also, I would say 1-3 are the best games. 1 and 2 are equal imo because they both have different goals. 3 is the best in the series and is the only game needed before 5. 1,2,4 are their own time-line following solid snake. 4 has the best payoff in the second half, worst post game cinema though. 5 is the most fun to play. But man the story is unresolved, I'll be honest with you about that.

cram me sideways posted:You'll play MGS1 and 2 and be happy with the arcade stealth but then you'll put in loving MGS3 and great now the radar's loving useless and now you've got to worry about this camoflage bullshit and it's so goddamn slow and who are all these boring characters and ugh no so you move on to MGS4 and it's sixteen billion hours of Kojima's autism, just a loving slog of him smelling his own farts and yessir more weird boss battles i hope you like looking at a wet woman's rear end as she writhes on the floor and begs you to kill her heehee kojima-san you are a character!!! okay so how about MGS5 well by god it's more loving plodding godawful not fun stealth action where you have to sit still for a billion hours trying to loving plot out a route or whatever except OOPSIE you didn't notice one guard so now the whole mission's hosed; BETTER START AGAIN. oh yeah and vagina-bomb. BUT THAT'S OKAY BECAUSE YOU GET A DOGGY AND REVOLVER OCELOT DOES A FUNNY Mgs3 1. You can go through the whole game in the starting olive drab (or naked, like a real Big Boss. 2. If you didn't like talking to Sigint about how you threw away his knife or being in a box or the sweet lever action of a Mosin, then that's cool. But Aspergers snake is way more interesting and unique than most characters. Mgs 4 1. The cutscenes are all skipable if you don't enjoy that. 2. The beauties take up maybe 5 minutes all together. And The beasts are all typical MGS bosses. 3. If you didn't tear up at the metal gear fight or fist fight, smh. 5. 1. It gives you so many options and tools that you'd have to be extremely dumb to have problems. 2. Womb bomb, way more symbolic. 3. I'm sorry you somehow suck at the easiest MGS stealth and decide to blame the core mechanics. I will give you that Kojima writing isn't for everyone. And that the gratuitous sexualization of male and female characters is dissonant with the rest of the tone.

CrashCat posted:On the other hand you don't start with hardly any of them, and even when you get them the game goes like "no lol here's a straight damage battle, hope you did enough grinding to have the necessary DPS or you're gonna replay this forever" The first dps battle is after you get D-Walker, who trivializes it. The next is the metal gear fight. So uhh? To VideoGames: If you have peacewalker, go ahead and try it. But all the story is recapped in GZ/5. And honestly the gameplay is a big downgrade because it was for PSP. Unless you really fall for the series, I wouldn't recommend buying it. Not that it's really bad, it's just grindy and really tailored to multiple short sessions on the train.

What I find funny about the whole trans in gaming thing is that no one talks about curie in FO4. Sure, not full trans. But she has a sexual identity even though she's a robot. I guess since she's a girl we(straight men) can ogle it's fine. I think when the geck comes out I'll do a voiced model swap if I get the gumption. Male curie.

Manky posted:Actually it has more than one, and I prefer not to be narrow minded! adjective (not comparable) 1. (narrowly) Having a gender (identity) which is different from the sex one was assigned at birth, i.e. being assigned male at birth but having a female gender or vice versa; or, pertaining to such people. (Comparetranssexual, and the following sense.) 2. (broadly) Not identifying with culturally conventional gender roles and categories of male or female; having changed gender identity from male to female or female to male, or identifying with elements of both, or having some other gender identity; or, pertaining to such people. (Compare genderqueer, transsexual, and transvestite.) The first does not apply because all signs point to them being a hermaphrodite, and they clearly identify with both genders. The second is a broad usage and therefore shouldn't be used if a narrow word is applicable to prevent miscommunication. In this case, they are bigender. In addition, it's pretty rude to call someone trans if they have their own gender identity. This is why I keep a dictionary on my phone.

If they're lying to themselves about platform engagement internally, they're loving stupid. This on the other hand Haha, that's hilariously dumb, i did not know they did that. I assumed it was xbox live use on Xbox Ones. And ty. Also apologies to fictional character Bridget for assuming he identifies as a girl. I don't play fighting games.

Lurdiak posted:It is a niche series and it is ok that not everyone likes it, as with many niches. A niche doesn't really refer to a market mainstay, nor something that sells so well across platforms. You are technically right though because videogames is a niche market so every videogame could be considered niche.

Tried out some Banner Saga tonight. Very pretty, cool world, story seems okay. You know what i loving hate? Enforced tutorials in strategy games that put you in lovely tactical spots. You know what else I hate? No engagement mechanics. Yeah, that enemy walking along not one, not two, but 6 movement squares next to my units? No punishment whatsoever. Unless you count the punishment of my low armor guy getting hosed by being behind his allies.

Been really enjoying Heretic Kingdoms:shadows. I've been craving Diablo since I played D3 on my brothers PS4. And this game is hitting all the right spots without Blizzard pricing. Also ran into a weird glitch with a character who uses two handed weapons. I got a weird 2hander, and it fucks with the attack speed so instead of hitting every second or so, his attack speed is .2. My highest dps is floating around 650, his dps is 958 or something stupid. I'll try and get a video.

So I finished "book 1" of ashadows: Heretic Kingdoms. It's really fun and I'd recommend it to everyone that likes wrpgs or Diablo 3 ( I've never played 1/2 but 3 seems more actiony) That said, it has some bugs, and some weird decisions made by the now defunct publisher. Luckily the devs are still at it and really responsive to the community. I'm really looking forward to the next book. Gameplay wise it's awesome. One of my big complaints about most rpgs is how the combat gets monotonous. But you have two main characters in different worlds you can switch between, and two bonus puppets in meat space. You get 3 choices for the mc, rogue wizard, fighter. Then multiple choices for the other puppets, a wolf berzerker, a zombie covered in iron, a Lizard man wizard, a mute archer/bomber, and either a wasp or a treant. There's just tons of fun switching between dudes on the fly, some enemies exist in the shadow world only, some meat space, but Demons and wizards exist in both so theres some neat dynamics to how you approach situations. The only real complaints I have are about the enemy placement, since there's not much challenge in it, just a mob of dudes all in one spot really. As well as some content gated for physical copy only without any in game notification that no, you can't open that door ever.

If they are bees that's hosed up because bees lose their stingers and die. Also hornets are cooler because they're the closest of all hymenoptera formicidae to their rad ancestors.

PantsBandit posted:Viewtiful Joe is actually loving amazing and remains one of the better games in its genre (even if future Hideki Kamiya games ended up being even more awesome) so I'm glad he didn't listen to stupid butthead testers. He specifically ignored advice from kids. Which is totally good since kids haven't developed taste and are still usually in the "Loves super popular thing because the marketing is good or just following" or " thinks everything popular is bad" stage of their life. People who never grow out of these are "casuals" or "grognards". Both are won over by marketing so basing design around them is terrible.

This is kind of expected though, in my experience fighting games cause anger even when prize money or pride isn't on the line.
