What's Life is Strange like? It's 4.50 on the humble store and i feel like i'd like it but i'm not sure

It's an episodic adventure game that's like My So-Called Life meets Twin Peaks. Buy if you like getting the feels and twee time traveling teens of indeterminate sexual preference.

That's kind of a selective retelling of events. People were down on DOOM not just for the solo gameplay demonstrations but also for the multiplayer beta, which was by all accounts Not Good and inexplicably what Bethesda decided to showcase in advance of release.

Having enemy fire rate tied to framerate is nothing new. They did the same thing with Mass Effect 3, which is why the multiplayer was a little harder if you were playing on PC (although I suppose the controls were more precise as well).

How is it failing? Could just be a faulty RAM stick, which is an easy fix. A bad power supply is a little more serious though since that can inflict harm to your entire system.

The greatest mystery of the universe is why it decided to ever go about the business of being in a more ordered state to begin with. But that was a good thing in the long run because it allowed for the constant arrow of time, the transfer of heat from warm to cold bodies, the collapse and formation of matter into stars, and ultimately, video games.

The weirdest thing about our universe is that it once existed in a state of zero entropy, total uniformity and rigidity in all number of possible configurations. Now because we live in an expanding universe, the amount of possible configurations of where stuff can be is always increasing, and therefore the entropy is always increasing. But due to fluctuations and the infinite passage of time, the entropy of an isolated system can decrease in an area, which explains why loose matter on a local level can collapse into things like stars and planets, and ultimately life. But if that's true, then why do we live in a reality where the entire UNIVERSE existed within a single place in time? The amount of time you'd need to wait for the position of absolutely everything to converge upon a single point would be almost infinite. Conversely, you'd have to wait much less time for a localized configuration of matter to collapse into one human being, or even for a star system housing an earth-like planet. Much easier and frequently would the laws of entropy allow for one star system here, another there. But that doesn't seem to be the case. Everywhere we can observe, the universe appears to be uniform and isotropic in all directions, which is just mindblowing.

Anyway that doesn't have a whole lot to do with video games although for these reasons I am partial to any spell or talent that has Entropy in the name.

though not exclusive to this fanbase, nintendo fans are very....sensitive to criticism from what I've seen, it's very difficult to have an honest discussion about a company's flaws and compare it objectively to competitors when that company is a bit of a sacred cow

The fact that he has to put up a ton of disclaimers before talking about nintendo is a sign of this. I think the disclaimers are annoying personally, no need to protect his viewers' feelings. He's a critic after all, and I don't often see him set up preambles when bashing other companies.

Anyways, Nintendo makes cool stuff but they are far from perfect and I think a lot of his criticism is very valid. That's my take on it anyways

I think it's impossible for a lot of people to be rational about Nintendo, the imprinting is much too deep.

Okay, I didn't know people played 3d side-view fighting games w/ health bars and combos anymore.

I mean I know they still make Street Fighter and stuff but in my brain fighting games kind of died off with arcades.

Mortal Kombat X, a 3d side-view fighting game w/ health bars and combos, was the 9th best selling game of 2015. It sold more than Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare that year.

It's been stated many times but goon opinions on games are not really representative of the public at large. Case in point: the Nier Automata thread has 3x the posts of surefire 10+ million seller and GOTY contender Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands.

I wouldn't call For Honor a fighting game

The characters have unique movesets, combos, blocks, parries, cancels, and throws. The objective of each match is to get the other guy's health down to zero. It's a fighting game.

I think having it be Team based with creep waves is enough for to be like basically a MOBA.

The team mode is a gear-based nothing matters mode. It shares almost nothing in common with a MOBA other than "you are on a team" I guess.
