The Colonel posted:what the gently caress is that simpsons clip Yeah, the golden age of the Simpsons is not a myth. I have my own personal moment where it went downhill, just like everyone else, but there are so many Simpsons memes and references floating around for a reason and it deserved to be the enormous cultural force it was in the late 90s and early 00s.

wizard on a water slide posted:The parry accessory is also kind of a weird thing in that it costs twice as much as the others and IIRC is the only one with no effective downsides (not counting the deliberately overpowered ones you unlock from beating the game or doing weird poo poo). The downside is that it's a high-risk skill move, most of the other accessories are passive or easy triggers.

Sakurazuka posted:I actually kind of liked the bit where you ended up in Rapture and the meta commentary on sequels but then it took a swerve into idiotville As far as I can tell the message of the game is that ripping random bits and pieces out of what came before with no understanding of context is bad, and it communicates this message by embodying it in the form of a bad game. Which I guess makes it a trenchant commentary on the nature of iterative art but you're still playing a bad game.

oddium posted:isn't that the villain's story in infamous Infamous's story is that in the future the world will be destroyed, so you go back in time to destroy only a little piece of the world in hopes of inspiring your past self to become enough of a badass to save the rest of the world later, which is purest comic book bullshit but that was the game's entire value proposition to begin with so it all works out in the end.

Rapture does have a sprint button but for whatever reason it takes a very long time to accelerate to top speed and it still isn't very fast. It also takes place over a rather enormous area so it takes much longer to play than comparable games. I thought Edith Finch was quite creative with the different scenarios it puts you in.

I'm reflexively hesitant to buy a game with "sexy" in its title but the GB quicklook was intriguing. It made it look like the entire game is Clock Town from Majora's Mask.

These days I use my PSVR every couple of weeks for ~3 hours at a time, to play through the latest "experience" release. Some of them are good but nothing since RE7 has had more than one session of meat to it. I will get Elite and play it regularly (probably) if it has PSVR support, but it's getting awfully close to release for them to keep saying "no comment" so they might not have been able to get it working acceptably.

The Library is 4 repetitions of the same vast, shadowy space where the same enemy groups rush at you over and over again without using any of the interesting AI the game is capable of. It's not good. They did get a nice troll out of it in Halo 2, though. You are instructed to seek out and visit a new Library, so you know what's going to happen. You can see the Library from the outside this time, drawing closer in the distance as you proceed across the land. After an hour or more of driving and fighting, you finally arrive there, and survive the huge firefight on the platform that transports you to the entrance. You walk through the door and find yourself in the same old environment, same old grey walls and blocky scenery, mentally preparing to spend another god knows how long going through it, as the game announces the title of this new level as "That Old Familiar Feeling". Then you walk another 20 yards and a cutscene takes over

They always contradict anyone who says it's not, but that's it. Coming up on 9 years since the initial teaser which was itself 5 years after the first game.

I want to know more about the space game you stole the teaser for in Watchdogs 2. That video had way too high production values to have been made specifically for a sidequest in a minor franchise.

Finally started playing Breath of the Wild. Good: I didn't understand just how loving massive this game is. I feel like I've traveled miles from the start point but I've only covered a small area of the map and only just begun unlocking powers and stuff. Bad: There are dogs but there is no pet button.

Watchdogs lets you pause if there isn't another player live in your game at the moment you press it. It's a tell for when you're about to get invaded, but a win for practicality.

a kitten posted:What the heck even is Prey? I've never played System Shock...or Bioshock for that matter. It's a game where you're given a great deal of freedom to explore an environment and use its contents to gain access to places and neutralize enemies in many different ways. You have a lot of weapons, items, environmental devices, routes, hiding places, etc and the challenge is to find combinations of them that work well together to exploit enemy weaknesses or to tilt the situation in your favor beforehand. Yes, there is character customization.
