I keep seeing a giant Crow T. Robot-esque face behind her, instead of the side and shoulder of that Krogan.

The Bloodborne dynamic theme is the one I've always used and probably always will use. The Hunter's Dream theme is so soothing!

I did not know that was a thing. God drat it, i might spend money on a freakin theme. At least if I tire of the Nier preorder one.

People say it has to do with how you think about the camera. If it were a physical thing floating behind your character you would move it downward to look up at the sky, but if you think more abstractly you press up because you want to look up.

Yeah, my brain mostly seems to think of the stick as if it were attached to an actual camera on a tripod. So down tilts the camera up and left pans the camera right

In third person games anyway.

If it's first person then up and down stay reversed, but not left and right.

I can adjust to whatever, but that's the most intuitive. Generally.

If the FPS is joystick, inverted, if mouse then no.

Yeah this.

As for the camera thing, I got used to using actual cameras on tripods before dual joysticks existed so that's what stuck.

I just look at it and look at my memory of firing up the 2600 for the first time and being excited at how awesome Donkey Kong looked right there on my tv at and go :aaa: a little. I'm not sure why Horizon in particular is causing this reaction, it's not like i haven't been gaming on virtually every system/pc since i was a kid.

Games are neat.

Saint's Row 3 had a demo that was just the character creator that you could then import into the game.

I love character creation and will happily restart to tweak some minor thing as long as the game is enjoyable.

Hell, I like trying to recreate the same character across multiple games given the opportunity.

Somebody tell me what to play that's on Steam. I'm away from home atm and all I have is a laptop with no mouse so I'm looking for something that I can easily play with just keyboard and trackpad. Should probably also be a couple of years old at least otherwise it probably won't run. I'm thinking some sort of sim or not real time strategy game since they're not reaction based whatsoever but I don't have a lot of experience with those genres. I usually play RPGs but without a controller it feels all wrong to me

I don't know if I'm more surprised that Red Bull still exists in 2097 or that it existed in 1996

The very first Wipeout game back on PS1(1995) had in-game ads for Red Bull before they even sold it in the US.

I should probably stop playing Nier for the day. But i just fought this Crazy Thing, then went to a Weird Place and fought A Jerk and i need to know what happens next!


I'm still in the first route, how can so many of you have completely finished it already? Madness.

And i did, assuming playing Nier:A all day counts as "lots of stuff".

If i bought it (and actually started it, stupid Steam sales) i'll probably finish it. I don't really buy all that many games though.

What's so gross about Card Captor, in the context of a 22 year old woman watching it? I legitimately don't know, I just thought it was a typical Magical Girl show with Tarot cards and a villain whose name is literally "Crowley" with two letters swapped.

Hell if i know, it's one of the most critically beloved manga and anime series around. I think there's a problematic teacher-student crush or something?

13, but some are only because it's realllly obvious (CS:GO, BF3, FC2) I could probably figure out more, but i went with immediate recognition for my answer.

incredible game design idea of zelda 2: let the player get all the way to the last two palaces before saying "oh by the way if you missed any of those four magic containers have fun walking all the way back to pick them up so you can get the only magic in the game that lets you defeat the penultimate boss"

i don't think i'm going to finish zelda 2

I think that might be exactly why i didn't finish it back in the day.

Nier:A is so good that i want to keep playing, but i think i need a break after finishing route C and also i don't want it to ever end, even though i need to see it through.
