Classical artists all did bible fan art to help get popular.

Like, it's kind of different, but the ratio of 'original' art to 'fan art' had always been a balance between illustrating popular character/events and creating new ones.

Why the gently caress would they compare it to a franchise that started in 1994, and hasn't had an entry since 18 years ago?

It doesn't matter how similar it is, they're going to compare it to something that is more recent in the public memory because it's loving marketing.

Well what about like stat growth as opposed to player ability? I consider games where you can overcome a skill cap by just overgrinding numbers to be an RPG more than I consider a game with choices or even a lot of dialogue to be an RPG.


buddy my magic tart just kicked in, im ready :420::420::420:

Yeah, and HZD isn't really like that. There aren't any stats, weapons can be modified, but are pretty nuch static values, and while there is a skill tree, there aren't really "builds" because you can easily fill it.

It's less of an rpg than Bioshock. Is Bioshock an RPG? I guess people probably consider it one, which, by these criteria, is valid. But again, HZD is much less of an rpg.

I guess people considering "there are quests" as an RPG element. HZD has a wuest structure that feels like Witcher or Skyrim, but because the gameplay is mechanically very different...

I guess what​ I'm really saying is that I'm not offended that HZD is low on a list of RPGs, because, while it's a great game, it's not necissarily a great RPG. Which is fine.

Eh, Limbo's puzzles relied too much on making you die first before you even noticed then. I thought Inside handled puzzles much better.

For me it was more that there were actual physics that could screw you over even when you knew what you were trying to do, so my experience was often "die -> figure out what to do -> okay the box bounced weird -> try again -> die -> try again -> succeed"

Which I didn't care for at all.

Origin is so much better than Steam as a client it's almost embarrassing. I wish Steam ran as well or was so less cluttered or even so nice to look at as Origin is. It's just a shame Valve doesn't have to make Steam function that well because people are gonna use it (in a lot of cases have to) no matter what.

Origin worms its way into my computers startup processes in a way that steam never does, and it's constantly trying to run background poo poo or install updates when I don't even want it to be running.

That is a bummer but you can just tell it not to do that and it won't anymore. I get a popup telling me I need to download an update just about every time I launch the thing because it can't do it automatically anymore but whatever. :shrug:

I mean, I used origin like, once 4 years ago, and after not seeing for 4 years, I caught it doing poo poo like 6 months ago. I think what happens is, when you update it, it resets its preferences to start automatically.

GOG is real gross and horribly buggy, both as an interface and as a service. I don't have any special attachment to steam, but it does work just fine and doesn't piss me off very much.

GOG Galaxy destroyed my windows installation so you will hear no praise about it from me. I am glad they let you download their games copy-protection-free if you own them so that I never have to look at it again.

Last year, a friend and I were trying to play some old RTS that was on GoG, and we bought it, and couldn't get it to work, and when he tried to refund it, they told him he couldn't because he didn't have it. Right there in his library.

Dietary fat is not bad for you!

Transfats are bad for you. I think.

Fat is calorie-dense, so more fat often means more calories, but fat as a source of calories is generally better for you than say, refined sugar or hfcs.

The caveat to that is to buy your printer online and make sure it's a common model. I bought a brother at Staples and when I had some problems with drivers discovered that it's some bullshut limited run model with very limited support. It still prints very well, but it did not plug and play like it was supposed to.

“CanalPlus wanted to go after the video game Metal Gear Solid, which is kind of a rip-off of Escape From New York, too,” he said.

“But I told them not to do that. I know the director of those games, and he’s a nice guy, or at least he’s nice to me.”

But he literally won against Luc Besson, whose movie Lockout is about the notorious ex-con Snow, who is blackmailed into a mission to rescue the president's daughter from a prison space station...

That's not really what that game did. It's more that they inexplicably reveal the native people helping you fight the bond villains are secretly insane and evil at the last possible moment. So yeah, Bioshock Infinite.

The game expects you to get owned by choosing to murder your friends because you're so into the power fantasy, and then ha, you died, owned b1tch.


It can be done poignantly, especially the first few times it was done in a genre where you're not supposed to examine your gameplay actions. But man is it getting tired.

I mean, it still did that thing I'm saying. Obviously, yes, that wasn't the offensive part about it, but I think in a nut shell it shows how out of touch the writers were.

Honestly it was all the characters. I don't understand how I was supposed to take their "We are fixing this boat!" plan seriously when the boat was 500 feet up a cliff. How the gently caress were they going to get it to the ocean?
