Nah he's right. It's just that we assign too much importance to that word. Yeah, it's art. Lots of loving things are. Is it good? Is it meaningful? Is it worthwhile?

All separate questions.

women video game creators should not be stalked, raped and killed

Actually everyone who makes or plays games should be stalked and killed for the betterment of society. That we men are ignored can only be attributed to misandry.


Rape is bad though.
Stop raping.

This is my problem with many RPGs. I'm really tired of the being the Chosen One. I would also appreciate never seeing another elf or elf like race again.

Morrowind had a fun twist on this. At the start of the game you may or may not be the reincarnation of the chosen one, but by acting as though you are, fulfilling all the bits of prophecy and so on, you retroactively become the reincarnation as far as the fabric of reality is concerned.

I'm Crap posted:

the witcher games have their good qualities but the writing in general and especially the dialogue (highly praised by gameurs who have never voluntarily read a novel in their lives) is unbelievably childish tryhard poo poo. "oval office loving gently caress gently caress plow with the gently caress whores cunts. whores plowing gently caress plow, eh oval office? *burp*"

The first Witcher game was even worse at this before the Director's Cut:

quote:

Geralt: Why do locals persecute nonhumans?
Dwarf:
Humans have always hated dwarves and elves.
Geralt:
I don't understand.
Dwarf:
Then go see that bastard Brogg. I won't discuss it with strangers.
Geralt:
Understandable.

Vs

quote:

Geralt: Why do the locals persecute nonhumans?
Dwarf:
Why do pricks go in cunts? It's the natural order of things. Humans have always hated dwarves and elves. Not for me to know why.
Geralt:
I'm not sure I understand.
Dwarf:
Then ponder it on your own. Or discuss it with that maggot Brogg. I don't talk to strangers about these things.
Geralt:
Fine.

Although yeah, you do end up with a superfluous oval office.

It was a loving grandfather paradox that they just shat out in the middle of the floor and walked away from. Not to mention that no matter what you did in the game you got the same ending, unlike the well-established "how you play determines the ending you get" mechanic of the previous installments in the franchise. I actually really liked the gameplay in Infinite, but holy poo poo did the plot take a nosedive into odious twaddle.

Well yeah. It was sort of the point that a lot of your choices didn't have a lasting impact. Constants and variables, my man.

We're not talking about games in general, but specifically the Bioshock franchise. Having player actions determine outcome was a big part of the earlier games, and they pissed it away on a single lobotomized paradoxical ending for Infinite.

This is going to rock your world, but Bioshock Infinite is a separate game from the other two and can set its own rules, including whether or not I get to choose if I want to murder 8 year-old girls.

E: like seriously, that was IMO the dumbest part of the first game. Am I Jesus? Or am I Skeletor?

This is fresh in my mind because I'm playing it right now, but the specific reason she gives up her powers is because right after she lets the Big Daddy kill the Booker from the first DLC (who is actually a Comstock, and in his universe that Elizabeth lost a head instead of a pinky so he had the wonder twins wipe his memory and park him in Rapture) she panics and for some reason doesn't use her powers to keep herself from getting killed by the Big Daddy. This is normally fine because she can just gently caress off to the rest of time and space, but she feels bad because cooking the girl alive was actually her plan and she kinda had to coerce Bookerstock into it, so she teleports back to the place where she died which is apparently a big no-no for quantum abominations and she loses all of her powers.

I posited to my roommate that jrpgs are a trash-tier sub genre and that the best example was worse than the worst fighting game.

This left me in the unenviable position of arguing that Digimon Rumble Arena was a better game than Chrono Trigger.
