subway is having a lot of trouble finding another slogan to replace EAT FRESH. it feels like every other month they're demoing something new and spending seven figures producing a commercial showing off their new, hip, fashionable, catch phrase that pairs easily with an appealing R&B beat.

i need to know how i can get in on this racket

I think the current one in Australia is "flavour that's worth crossing the road for" it's terrible

I was busy all week with sick kiddy and other stuff so I had to take a break after the final big boss fight in Peace Walker, despite there still being stuff to do.

As much as I like games with a stealth component I really hate situations where the game heavily punishes you for killing dudes while also having a whole bunch of interesting ways to kill dudes that you aren't allowed to ever use if you want to play the game well.

I'm looking at you MGSV

I learnt back in the Sonic Adventure days to not give a poo poo about the letter ranking at the end of a level/mission and just have fun. It's carried me in good stead through MGS Peace Walker and V

It wasn't the letter ranking, it was the fact that you had to recruit fucktons of dudes for your base in order to progress a whole bunch of the unlockable stuff and also for some side missions. The nonlethal takedown options were also extremely tedious compared to the lethal ones.

Ah, I got you.

But yeah, in Peace Walker at least you can use the intel team to look at the ranks of soldiers in a mission and if there's no S's or A's you bring the heavy artillery

What was the deal with this? I recall some years ago people (mainly on the LP sub-forum I think?) killing their accounts over something regarding Lowtax.

If you're thinking of what I'm remembering after Schmorky was outed as being pretty hosed up Lowtax filmed his kid mocking him, wearing a diaper, that sort of thing. It was the kid's decision.

This lead to some LP folks (who may have been misinformed or simply going way over the top) of accusing Lowtax of child abuse for it and leaving the site when his response was "lol no"

Nobody was shadowbanned FAK, there's no such thing on the forums. They would've been banned on SA for tweeting poo poo at Lowtax.

Checking the Sagas thread there seems to be some confusion about it but who cares, let's get back to talking about games

The opening of Fallout 2 sucks, and I know this isn't a controversial opinion. What did make me laugh though was punching and kicking scorpions to death, dying, realising I had a spear I could use and finding that it was actually worse than just trying to fistfight bugs

Is danganronpa a ace attorney style adventure game or more of a VN?

This is based on the LPs but it looks sufficiently Ace Attorney to me. There's courtroom scenes and in between those are investigation scenes where you collect evidence/"truth bullets" that you use in court.

It's tone is a lot more over the top and outright mean though, if you enjoyed AA's somewhat more innocent and bumbling tone.

It must've been nice in those days. Make the first level insanely hard because you're still working with an arcade "gotta keep those coins coming in" mentality and then who cares about the ending? No one's going to see it anyway!

Prey's pretty great so far you guys. I'm early on so I feel weak as a kitten, which really helps build the tension when a mimic or phantom is about.
