This is a fairly retarded criticism of the console's portability lol. Do these people not own bags.

I never put my DS lite or my 3DS in my pocket because I kept them in a carrying case, with games. Hell, I'm not even sure I kept my GBC in my pockets when I was an ickle tyke.

Zelda is the best but does anyone know if there are real dungeons or is it just lots of the mini puzzle shrines

It does, but from what I understand there might only be four in the world, plus the "endgame" dungeon. And the they're very different in concept from a regular Zelda dungeon, though no less impressive.

Yeah, there's a heavily scripted walkthough video: http://www.pcgamer.com/middle-earth-shadow-of-war-expands-the-nemesis-system-to-your-own-army/

Doesn't show much of the actual, regular combat you'll be doing (they've got unlimited executions turned on) but they've really blown out the Nemesis system way more than I would have expected.

Guys this might be shocking to y'all but I don't think Yooka-Laylee is gonna be a good game.
I think it's more likely that it will be a very faithful throwback to N64 era 3D platformers, and a lot of people are going to find that they're not a fan of that type of game anymore.

Everybody list your game-graphics shock moments:

Doom 2 (at the time second 3D game I've ever seen after Wolfenstein 3D)
Quake 2 (woah you can't see pixels, how is this possible)
GTA 3 (oh my god, you can run in any direction in a giant 3D city with no loading screens, what?)
Burnout 3 Takedown (I told my cousin that this is how real-life cars look and it will be hard to get better than this)
Oblivion (the classic out-of-the-cave moment many people had)
LA Noire (facial animations)
Battlefront (I was actually shocked how much this game literally looked like Star Wars movies at all times)
Uncharted 4 would be the latest one where I really felt a jump in quality in comparison to other games

There were probably a few others that I forgot.

For me, it's Half Life 2. I've only ever really been a PC gamer, but it's the first game I associate with "Next Gen" graphics, even though I'm sure Doom 3 was more advanced technically. While yes, a lot of the game's visuals have aged, they've done it relatively gracefully and I can always go back to it without thinking it looks primitive.

I've got similar feelings for STALKER, although that's 100% because of the environment, atmosphere and lighting.

The last Bioware game I played was ME1, so I'm not very invested in the fiction, but I thought the whole point of the Andromeda mission was to be a last ditch effort for survival in case the Reapers won. But it's not? It's just some unrelated pet-project? Huh?

First impressions of Mass Effect Andromeda are... the story has some potentially interesting hooks and they've worked on developing both the combat and progression systems?

John Walker detested the first few hours of Mass Effect Andromeda, so maybe it's actually really good?

Well I know that each brewery is only allowed to bring 2 beers, so hopefully the ones that get brought will taste good. Admittedly I've never had beer so I know I'm gonna dislike it from the outset but I'm hoping to work my way up to porters and stouts since I hear they are very chocolate-like/coffee-like and I'd like to be able to find out for myself some time. If they have any wheat beers there, I'll try them out since I've heard they're a good entry level thing.

Uh, just so you know when they say "chocolate/cofee-like" it's just talking about undertones; beer still tastes like beer. That said, yeah, Weißbier is a good one to start with since it's not as hoppy as light beers and not as malty as dark. But they are the first ones I liked, though now I'm mostly into porters and stouts since I still can't stand the taste of hops.

John Walker's review of Hollow Knight is one of the most insipid bits of ~games journalism~ I've read in a while, so I'm inclined to believe that he's actually a huge stupid idiot.


No, you say "get it because it's genuinely good, beautifully drawn, and solidly built" you dumb gently caress, what kind of opening statement is this supposed to be? Like I know getting mad about video games is a dumb way to be but holy poo poo this guy's writing is so bad it legitimately makes me kind of angry.

John Walker's entire retarded gimmick is to be outraged and contrarian about whatever's in at the time. Funny thing is, I honestly can't remember if he was always like that or not.

I disagree, it is actually Dystopia, in which you are placed in cyberspace which is a very strange first person shooter where the rules of physics don't apply and there are other hackers lurking trying to kill you with other objectives usually in opposition to yours

Fuuuuuuuuuck, Dystopia owned (owns? Does anyone still play it?) Well, except that I could never actually get my mind around the hacking. Still, cloaking, silent step, smart pistols 4 LYFE. Throw in a cortex bomb for good measure, though I don't think it ever paid off very well.

Game's still got some of the most satisfying hit sound effects in a shooter and might have even been one of the first to use them.

Everyone who usually cites Citizen Kane to compare it to video games has probably never seen it and pictures it as a slow art cinema thing but it is actually extremely plot-driven and quickly paced, part of why critics eventually hailed it was that it was incredibly ahead of its time and would not be that out of place as a film even decades later

Yeah, Citizen Kane's just a real good movie in general.
