Jay Rust posted:The world's gone crazy. Water temple is certainly hard and a bit confusing for kids, but I wouldn't call it bad by any means. Its very creative and interesting, its non-linear, and especially in the 3DS remake they add a few little things that make it much harder to get confused. You compare that to even several other zelda dungeons and its way better. Like, consider jabu jabu in oracle of ages. Its pretty much exactly the water temple from OOT except in 2D which makes it 10x harder to understand. People like you are why zelda dungeons hold your hand now like in wind waker!

I said come in! posted:What happened with Ghost Recon Wild Lands? That seemed to have released to absolutely zero fanfare and no one bought it? Some people bought it. Its basically MGS5 with drop-in drop-out co-op but no story at all. (Not that MGS5's story was great anyways) Seems pretty good if you want a co-op shooter, but I just bought a bunch of games so I'll probably wait for it to come down in price.

I did pick up Final Fantasy 3 and would like to find more stuff like that. Get one of those everdrive thingies and load it up with all the games that would otherwise cost you a fortune. I mean I have a SNES collection and its great but its very much  Earthbound, Mega Man X 1/2/3, TMNT 4, Mickey's Magical Quest, Chrono Trigger, FF3/6, Super Mario World 1&2, Zelda LTTP, etc.

I dunno, it sounds like he actually loving learned something: quote:What are you up to these days?

The guy getting back into programming is like the best thing that could happen to him, it'll force him to realize what is and isn't feasible before he starts making promises and coming up with lofty ideals. And he actually doesn't want to talk about his new game yet? Like, holy poo poo, he FINALLY learned! E: Oh wait though quote:Did Bryan Henderson, the player who was supposed to become the "god of gods" in Godus for finding the inside of the Curiosity cube, ever get his prize? Yeah that's horseshit Peter. That's horseshit. It was a publicity stunt, you already pulled it, and then you didn't follow through. "oh but we didn't actually profit" oh shut up.

Not like all his money, but he owes that kid (Now adult) a decent chunk of change after all those promises. That's like the least he could do. "Sorry kid, Godus bombed, here's some cash at least." Its like that one episode of The Office where Michael Scott promises to pay for some kids' tuition, and then can't afford it years later.

No, that image is not from yoshi's island. I was wondering if somebody else had made a game like that with mario assets, but it seems like it was just a joke or a quick demo. Not that I'm trying to sell this or anything, its just a solo thing for fun. But I'd feel dumb if someone else was working on exactly that idea right now.

LawfulWaffle posted:Is the Pokeworld exclusively vegetarian? Even down to the Pokemon themselves? There are some mon like Golbat and Weepingbell (Gen 1 4 lyfe) that seem designed to eat prey (not to mention the larger Pokemon that would presumably have a much larger caloric requirement) but I can't recall any instance of a Pokemon researcher feeding Ratatas or Caterpees to larger captive mons, or other more benign references to meat in the Pokeworld. Is it salads all the way down? Inquiring minds want to know. Pokemon feed on each other but they don't depict it in the cartoons because its awkward and makes you realize the whole thing is pretty brutal and basically dogfighting for children. So they shy away from all that as much as they can, creating a weird double standard. Lurdiak posted:There's a bunch of pokemon that specifically predate on others and some even gank humans.

If you really care, here's an analysis by a trans woman. http://www.polygon.com/2017/3/21/15004956/zelda-mass-effect-horizon-zero-dawn-trans-characters precision posted:That's at best clumsy, at worst cringeworthy. Its basic dumb RPG conversation man, what the gently caress do you want? Its a binary choice, you're just affirming your past entry once again, because that's how Zelda goes sometimes, and because she's playing coy. Your other option is "you're a man!" so its just once again continuing to use the right response. Your overreaction to this is way more cringeworthy than the game is.

bloodychill posted:It's a different kind of wrong.They're both wrong. In Andromeda, it just dumps the dialog on you in an unnatural way and is like the character wearing a trans nametag, which is dumb. In Zelda, it's playing up appearance and beauty for passing and furthering the plot in a very anachronistic way. I'm not sure what precision's take on it was but that's my take. It goes both ways. Like I linked, the polygon article actually breaks it down pretty well: quote:Let’s get a few things out the way. Yes, this woman has a beard under her veil. Link finding this out when a stray gust of wind reveals is played as a punchline. Link reacts in shock. It reeks of ‘90s trans-reveal comedy punchlines. So its so-so. I guess arguing about whether its "better" or "worse" than another awkward mistake is just down to personal opinion, but I think Andromeda is more directly cringey by far. Saying she's beautiful doesn't have to mean that you're conflating passing with being attractive. It can also be the direct opposite, affirming that beauty is inward and not based on outward appearance, since the character isn't actually passing and you have to say she's beautiful anyways. Its not exactly black and white, but it is clumsy I agree.

Quest For Glory II posted:it is frustrating to not have great trans representation in video games but even the decent examples like in technobabylon still have this awkward infodump aspect to it. but that game doesn't have the problem that most attempts have, which is, the characters' personality is always "they're trans" and that's it Yeah, but the problem is lots of people are still really uncomfortable or straight up antagonistic towards transpeople, so they'll be relegated to NPCs for awhile But there's a strong argument that having lots of gay characters on TV helped get the states to come around overall to gay rights, it lets people become more comfortable with things they're uncomfortable with from the safety of their own couch. And if you include it in some media (show, film, game) that the person likes, it can help influence their perspective of those minorities.

Olive Garden tonight! posted:I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the difference between pets and feral animals. Nah plenty of pet cats will eat all the vermin they can get their hands on. (Hell, most won't even eat them, just continually hunt and toy with them until they die from injuries  )Bunnies are hard to say, the cat wouldn't hunt the bunny probably because of size, but cats beat the poo poo out of other cats so I assume if the cat gets afraid of the bunny he can gently caress him up pretty good.

If you haven't done them, the "Elusive Targets" almost feel like the real game, as pretentious as that sounds. The normal missions are almost like, warmup, and then the elusive targets are the real deal where you're roleplaying a hitman trying to kill somebody and you can't gently caress up, but you've studied the area to every last detail and you mapped out a fool-proof plan.

corn in the bible posted:literally has never happened to me Wait you actually played Sniper Ghost Warrior? Jesus Christ Why? CJacobs posted:Isn't Sniper Ghost Warrior just the Great Value brand Sniper Elite YES. I'm convinced Sniper Ghost Warrior sells only because people get the name confused with Sniper Elite. Like, its a game called Sniper, so it must be a good FPS right? Sniper Ghost Warrior 1 & 2 were hilariously unbelievably terribad. Its a game that exists as a con to get people's grandmas to buy it for them on accident. Nasgate posted:Honestly at this point, having never played either I could not tell you the difference other than one loves slowmo xray shots and I think the other is made by slavs? Sniper Ghost Warrior is as linear and scripted as FPS get, "go here, shoot this guy, go here, shoot that guy" and there's no real sniping from long ranges. Its so stupid. Sniper Elite 1 was a great sandbox sniper game with slowmo. Sniper Elite 2 and 3 have better graphics but the levels are much more linear. Still, they're proper games with actual stuff you can do and fun to be had, unlike Ghost Warrior which suuuuucks.

The best sniping game I ever played is The Hunter, if you can get over sniping deer instead of badguys: http://store.steampowered.com/app/253710/theHunter/ It has a very awkward pay2play transaction scheme, but its really worth it. Huuuuuge open world where you really have to sneak up on your targets and shoot them from far away, and really worry about making your shots count, because Deer are skittish as gently caress and if they so much as smell you they're just going to bolt running and you'll never catch them. Its a game that really really tests your patience, but when you spend 40 minutes tracking a huge buck and you're sitting at the top of a hill waiting because you know he's about to come down this way, and then he walks right into the clearing you were aiming at, and you hold your breath and land the one perfect shot... its massively satisfying.
