I'd pay for a Call of Duty game where you're a journalist in Syria or some made up country that really is Syria. Time Magazine had a piece where they had a war photographer play Last of Us and use the photo mode

I don't think I've set foot in a chain game shop in over fifteen years. If you are going to go brick and mortar you may as well try to support locally-owned business

Yeah I was defending The Witness from people saying it had a condescending regressive agenda by pointing to his lack of public political discourse, so of course he has to mansplain like a douchebag

Yeah, I think the original Sonic has the correct proportions for a kid's cartoon character. That elongation is basically Skinny Mario except officially sanctioned by the creators

Oh man, Mafia III... the controls are super mushy, it doesn't seem that well-optimized, the dead time to reload a checkpoint is pretty long, you can't tab through dialogue, there's no fast travel, and it has a dumb lockpicking minigame. On the other hand, the characters are pretty good and I am dressed up as a Black Panther

Yes, the fastest path from the lantern to Papa G is through the shortcut gate and past the trolls to the elevator. I spent a lot of time farming blood vials and practicing my parries on those trolls too

Ekster posted:Never understood the appeal of MMOs personally, it's like single player games except with worse gameplay and I personally find random gamers to be some of the worst people to socialize with on the planet. I understand that it can be fun to play with friends or maybe if you find a nice guild or something but to be fair almost anything is fun with friends. My two favorite MMOs were games that I played because of their story and worldbuilding elements, mostly in spite of their MMO gameplay

Bicyclops posted:Cathedral Ward is way easier than Central Yharnam and the Aqueduct so far, if only because the enemies are so spaced apart. Fighting one dude at a time is so much better than dealing with a crowd. I only died once finding the next lantern. The higher your Insight, the more challenging some enemies become. And that portal, oh man... let's just say that I and other players have had different experiences with that portal

I swear by them. They're insanely comfortable (and this is coming from someone whose tried a ton of headsets and have had to throw them off after an hour's use because my ears were aching). I have worn these all day without a single problem. They're closed ear, so keep in mind it's hard to hear anything outside of whatever you're listening to if it's moderately loud, but they deliver great sound (with 7.1 Surround Sound) and the mic is very decent. Highly recommend. I purchased the HyperX Cloud I since I wasn't looking for 7.1 Surround, and those are quite good too.

Looper posted:please enjoy public anime, but please also shower regularly For a while I got really into Magic the Gathering online to the point that I thought, hey there is a local event at my nearby game shop, maybe I should go. The smell there was only slightly better than when I was standing at the bus stop beside actual homeless people. It basically made me completely reconsider the worth of spending my time playing Magic at all.

I look forward to playing Breath of the Wild when I buy a discounted Switch at the end of November 2018, it's one of the things forcing me to be naively optimistic about our current political climate

Revengeance is the best Metal Gear story because it just has all the Kojima stuff that is over-the-top, earnest, and goofy as gently caress without all the attempts at seriousness. Grey Fox was a loving dour-rear end character and I can't picture him fighting Make America Great Again while hard-charging metal with super on-the-nose lyrics plays, but Raiden is perfect for that

Remember that video games are murder simulators, if you fear something in real life you can kill it in a game with no actual danger to yourself!

When I was in Canada, in restaurants they could swipe your card at the table and servers also were able to make change for cash payments right then and there.

Nate RFB posted:I haven't played MK in years so I'm probably not the best authority to comment upon this but what I did see of MKX made me kind of sick to my stomach. Maybe it's a sign I'm becoming an old because the violence in the first Mortal Kombats and GTA, I wouldn't even bat an eye. But the modern ones just creep me out with their body-horror obsession with the moment someone goes from being a person to a bag of flesh, which is like every fatality and x-ray move in that game. Like hell, I'm playing Nioh where I'm decapitating fools every thirty seconds, and that's all right. But the way Mortal Kombat lingers on that moment between screaming in existential pain to nothingness is really unpalatable. CJacobs posted:It would stand a chance of pulling that off if it were not for Austin Walker who is unable to have fun doing anything without also saying "but maybe.... this is bad...." You mean Austin Walker who just played Crackdown and Phantom Dust for hours yesterday shooting the poo poo, Austin Walker who wrote a review of a mixtape that a PR person accidentally sent to him, or Austin Walker https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdztxrIlTKE

I mean, if you have a problem when people talk about social issues with regard to, say, Battlefield Hardline, or Mafia III, or Ghost Recon, I don't think the problem is with Austin

CJacobs posted:I don't have a problem with it, it's just not what I like to read in my free time. Games like Mafia 3 obviously want you to think about that stuff and Austin has decided that is his niche. What makes Waypoint bad to me is that they pair this introspection on society at large with "how would pokemon gently caress", two things that cannot coexist and be taken seriously imo I hope the people in your life are not either all serious or all frivolous. No one sets out saying "I am going to be a serious political theorist and will never talk about anything fun again" CJacobs posted:Maybe I should have said "His articles about video games are way too socio-political for me" then because I wasn't trying to imply that it's bad to do so like people think I am You literally said CJacobs posted:Waypoint is really bad.
