plz dont pull out posted:What was the worst webcomic y'all read regularly? the only ones I ever read more than like once, I read the first like 200 Questionable Contents, however many existed in 2007, that's how many i read, and about twice a year i'll look at it again because it's honestly amazing that it continues to get worse. like, you would think there would be a bottom of the barrel, but it just keeps going. the only other ones i remember reading a bunch were Elftor and Boatface. i seem to recall them both being kinda funny.

ImpAtom posted:Questionable Content. I don't even know why I was reading it except that I had it as part of my regular internet checklist and was too lazy to remove it. I got started on it because of a girl I was dating at the time. And then the next one I dated also read it, except she was hate-reading it by then like I was. My current wife does not know it exists and I'm super happy about that.

bloodychill posted:I tried reading this because it was an ex's favorite comic and I just had to stop because it was rarely funny or clever. It was penny arcade but with relationship drama instead of video games. Good news, after hundreds of strips that boil down to "author-insert harem anime with hipsters instead of Japan" he just went ahead and started adding actual robot-people, catgirls, and whatever else Tumblr told him to, which turned into the most astonishingly blatant use of audience- insert I've ever seen. also the guy who draws it is crazy douchey, it's not even like some harmless guy's project, he's actively just awful.

GUI posted:After 4+ years of playing GTAV on and off I'm finally nearing the end and it's bad. The city design is incredible and the best in open world games, and the writing for the characters (the ~~satire~~ is a mixed bag) and their relationships is great and generally above most AAA drivel, but that's about it. The mission design is garbage: dozens of 1-2 minute "missions" which are glorified cutscenes were you do absolutely nothing except drive to a location - so much of the game is listening to people talk during car rides.. Plenty of missions like the one I mentioned before, except with the added twist where you'll do a one-time automated activity like taking pictures. Fetch quest side missions where you have to find objects around the game world. A couple of missions actually have combat which, even for a game originally released in 2013, is dull cover shooting that wouldn't feel out of place in a 2007-2008 shooter released post-Gears 1 - no originality or decent AI whatsoever. You can't even spend your spare time in the open world shooting things since you die easily and the damage feedback for both player and enemies is awful. This is ignoring all the pointless fluff like the stock market web browsing and those half-finished minigames like tennis. Thank you. I've been saying exactly this for years. It's the best made world but the absolute worst of the 3D games in terms of mission design.

exquisite tea posted:Dragon Age has a lot of really really well-done elements like the origin stories themselves and the way that all player choices weave into the Landsmeet, but it's mired in 50+ hours of some of the slowest most boring-rear end combat I've ever seen in a CRPG. It feels like everybody is fighting underwater and good lord there is a lot of it. God help you if you go to Redwall first and try to get the mages' assistance. At least you can break it fairly early on with Mana Clash or some similarly OP mage spell. I actually like how slow and deliberate the combat is. When I played it on console, it was too messy and annoying because you can't really use the full zoomed out Baldur's Gate style. PantsBandit posted:Enjoy. Origins is one of my favorite RPGs of all time. The combat feels so drat good and every class is viable. (protip: pump dex points into alistair. A tank doesn't need hp when nobody can hit him!) Yeah I played the whole shebang way back 7 years ago on PS3, and really loved Awakening. Everything looks so much cleaner on PC, especially the interface. I'm playing Sword/Shield because I did Rogue and Mage already, so I'm gonna ditch Alistair as soon as I can get Shale.

Quest For Glory II posted:its all fine if things were more balanced, but there aint enough games with either not-tittilation or reverse-tittilation yet, i mean it's better now but in the AAA world not much has changed Indie games own and all but they have their own set of problems and cliches these days. Rest assured that every game maker aside from possibly crazy people like SUDA51 follows the philosophy "If it worked once, put it in every game until it stops working, and probably for another 10 years after". But in general I do agree, like I've played This War of Mine over 100 hours on PC and PS4 combined.

exquisite tea posted:There is no invisible guiding hand toward progressivism. Society's values are fragile, malleable and always subject to shift in the opposite direction, and battles are won in the court of public opinion and discussion. The cumulative effect of many people saying "this is creepy + racist + misogynistic + whatever" can and does alter the decisions of game developers over time, but expecting they'd just come to the same conclusion on their own is wishful thinking at best. Such conversations need to happen, uncomfortable as though they might be. Your thesis statement is directly contradicted by the rest of your paragraph. That cumulative effect is the invisible guiding hand. B-

Phantasium posted:Did any of you ever win any game magazine contests? No, though back when the internet was pretty new (1998 I wanna say) Matador's website had a contest to write a funny caption for some picture of Jon Spencer in a gorilla suit. I have no clue what I submitted, as I was undoubtedly stoned off my nut and also probably in a hurry to go play frisbee golf (look, I did say it was the 90s), but out of the literal dozens of submissions they got mine won. They sent me a VHS tape, a t-shirt and some stickers.

exquisite tea posted:I don't think you understand my point at all. I'm saying the assumption that "things will always get more progressive, so why bother being vocal about it?" is a naive one, that societal values are very malleable and always subject to shift in the opposite direction. Oh, I agree with you there. I was just being pedantic, which is why I included a letter grade, as if it were written by a college professor. And also that there is kind of a hand, that is invisible, such as things like uploading gameplay feedback so that they can accurately see how many people are playing as historically under-represented groups (ie women and gay/bisexual people) Like, it's probably stupid on one level that I deliberately did a Gay Shepard run of Mass Effect, because I don't care for the romance stuff in the game at all, but it also probably did a little bit of good, because I am bisexual and I find the staggering amount of straight male dick-swinging in video games to be really offputting. Like, that aspect of the game is probably the only criticism I have of Resident Evil 7 (which I just finished last night, so yes I'm including the super silly ending stuff).
