It is a game where you play a person trapped in a mansion filled with evil monsters who want to kill you and you must solve complex and somewhat nonsensical puzzles in order to escape. Also it will probably involve the Umbrella corporation and viruses.

I'm not sure how that isn't Resident Evil?

You're not a cop/agent with a crappy gun :colbert:

Not that I mind formula change-ups. It is a bit different this time and very different from the action game style of 4-6.

... Uh? What precisely there do you disagree with? Because I'm pretty sure nothing there I said actually is objectionable.

He's just being dumb. Your criticisms are pretty much right on. I'm enjoying the game a lot but it feels very much like they frankenstein'd Nomura's concepts and built a really solid openworld action RPG on top of it. The closest thing that comes to mind is XCX. Different set of problems but it's also an open world action RPG with a mish-mash of really cool stuff and really dumb issues capped by an ending that almost no one is happy with.

The fun thing about enjoying Blow's games is knowing that if he knew, he'd be pissed about it. Sorry guy, you made some cool fun games and I'm going to enjoy them just to spite you.

Fish is a dick but the soundtrack for Fez is in my top 3. He did a really good job incorporating it into the game too.

I have been told to pick a Playstation 4 bundle that I want, aiming for closer to $400 rather than $500. Are there any recommendations? Does one maybe have the new Final Fantasy? This is hard. I had never considered that I might have a Playstation 4 before like a few weeks ago and now I don't know what I'm doing lol

http://www.gamestop.com/ps4/consoles/playstation-4-1tb-final-fantasy-xv-limited-edition-bundle-only-at-gamestop/136015. Out of stock on the website but they might have some at nearby brick and mortars.

Alternatively buy this for $270 or a PS4 Pro and get FF15 separate. Online places are actually regularly selling out of the PS4 for the holidays I guess, that's kind of nuts.

Bell peppers are indeed capsicums like jalapenos, habaneros, ghost peppers, etc. All new world peppers come from the same few related plant species.

With Shantae, it doesn't bug me because it's thematic as she has a definite belly dancer vibe, and that's a real thing that I've seen a ton of times since it's my part of the culture I came from. With boob ninjas, it's always felt weird since ninjas and assassins aren't famous for their sex appeal except Matahari, who was a belly dancer.

I still play the boob ninja games though.

The stripping was kinda weird in Akiba's Trip even if it was part of the original design (and name) if only because I think the main appeal of fighting supernatural stuff in an even nuttier Akihabara is a cool idea in itself and didn't seem like it needed that stuff.

I don't want to rehash Pacific Rim talk, but I think the one Del Toro movie that doesn't get enough love is Hellboy 2. It was visually stunning, pulled off a really neat secret world vibe, and had a decent story. It ranks over Pan's Labyrinth and PacRim for me personally.

I played probably 200 hours of Dota back when it was still a WC3 custom map. The main appeal to mobas is that it is a team objective game but instead of being a first person shooter, you control your dude like a Warcraft 3 hero and level them up like an RPG and get them equipment. And there are like a hundred of them each with their own abilities and all the abilities look neat.

And then you get into some big dumb argument with your friends and no one talks to each other for months because of "laning" or "jungling" or some stupid poo poo no sane person should get into a fight with their friends about.

Books have that paper smell I like. Also when I feel like completely unplugging for a few days, books are the perfect companion.

If you think of Tidus as having high-functioning autism, his narration makes a lot more sense. It's always him realizing something going on emotionally that the player easily understood an hour or more earlier. Also it completely fails to make use of the basic function of narrative where it can foreshadow things that will happen later.

Once you get the job, degree ain't matter. My degree is in psych but I've been a software engineer for 7 years so no one even looks at my education anymore. I'm also glad I studied psych for other reasons. Sam Jackson wasn't in Shawshank though.

Not gonna read that thread, what exactly is wrong with the switch

The cpu and gpu are severely underclocked to meet battery/heat requirements. Not that big a deal other than 3rd party support continuing to be sort of lackluster but it means switch games will probably not look much better than wii u games. Of course, it will be the only thing that will play Nintendo games so it always has that.

I mean, unless you really want to play crappy Mario/Pokemon games on smart phones.
