Good morning friends. Today I am going to play Wolfenstein: New Order and probably Etrian Odyssey Untold, because games where you have to draw maps are extremely cool and I love them. With Wolfenstein I have gotten into the trap of getting all the collectibles and reaching Platinum/100% Completion, because those things satisfy me immensely and they seem easy enough to do. I am tired of the dumb cutscenes which have to play at least partially to cover up loading but I am at 74% and I have unlocked a mode with infinite ammo and absurdly overcharged health on the hardest mode so I am pumped to see what else unlocks. Solving even a cheap math puzzle to get the unlocks is actually pretty cool and feels sort of like you’re actually breaking a code. Unlocking Perks by doing cool poo poo is also really satisfying. They really went out of their way to make you feel cool for accomplishing stuff, I like it.

I have Old Blood and New Colossus queued up and then I actually have a PS2 Wolfenstein and one for 360 (apparently just called “Wolfenstein” :geno:) and maybe I will play those after I get all the sidetrophies in Arkham City. If anybody read all of that and somehow has opinions on those other Wolfenstein games, please let me know.

Thank you for reading my video game opinions blog.

UPDATE: instead of Etrian Odyssey I am going to keep playing Mother 3. I got to a part where I was playing a monkey being mistreated (who I named Steve) and it seemed like there was not going to be fighting but I will push through because it was very good before that and Etrian Odyssey is a game you play in bed while a sitcom is on or something

I don’t want to spoil it for people

edit: I will say that the way they revealed the mother’s death was fuckin hilarious. “Well there is good news and bad news. The good news is that I found you this fuckin’ awesome sword. The bad news is that I found it sticking out of your wife. That’s the bad news. She is super dead.” Then the Dad just starts beating the poo poo out of innocent people with a stick. :stare: This game is amazing.

Is there a reason they're deciding to change Ciri from a pale as all hell polish lady to something else? Isn't she super fair skinned because she's a descendant of the elves or something? Along with the fact that the sun barely ever seems to come out in that universe.

it's still a really fun game but it's a bummer that nothing else really picked up what it put down

It is my understanding that it was excessively difficult to design buildings in that engine because if you didn’t make them actually architecturally sound they would just collapse under their own weight. I’d bet that’s why you don’t see it more often.

It's weird thinking of all the huge gaming markets that are so disconnected from the kinds of games I play that I only know how huge they are from being told. Like sports games and the candy crush/peggle style of mobile game

There is an entire market of people buying and trading digital trading cards. Just, pictures of Star Wars characters or baseball players that you can look at on your phone. I have never even come across ads for it personally but it is a huge thing and it blows my mind.

the autistic girl in the walking dead season 2 is maybe the worst writing ive ever seen in any video game, ever. dad acting like autism is some impossible to explain malady handed down by elder gods, there being a way to 'save' her but then she dies three minutes later randomly for no reason, everyone acting like she's better off dead

i think shes supposed to be autistic? 'cause in one scene shes having a kind of meltdown and is curled up in a ball and wringing her hands which is like, a common autism thing, and the way she kinda weirdly fails to relate to clementine is pretty autistic too

it would not surprise me if they did not have any idea what her deal was supposed to be while writing her tho

really theres a lot of games where some random character is vaguely autistic in a way that feels intentional but all the dialogue in game is like this HERETOFORE UNKNOWN MALADY VEXES HER DAILY and its like, dude, shes just autistic, hundreds of thousands of people are

I actually think you’re right I just think it’s funny that they were so cowardly about it that I didn’t pick it up at all while playing.

Also the Walking Dead franchise in general has a really disturbing underlying theme that in the zombie apocalypse the mentally ill and handicapped are burdens and should probably just be killed

Dude, age of social media. We all know full well that any kind of minor thing can set off the brigades.
Imagine they said she's autistic openly and some bored prick with too little real problems to deal with decided to take offence to their depiction of it.

Suddenly their Twitter is full of "you are depicting autism as a cripplinng disease, but in truth they are all gods children", "I wish your kid had autism so you would see where you went wrong" and "burn them at the stake and boycott their games".

I played Super Hang On on my 3DS this morning for the first time since I played it as a 12 year old with their first console: the megadrive.

Whenever I played it back then it was so crushingly tough and I would hit those BirdBird signs over and over.

I would always run out of time around section 3 or 4 of Africa and fail equally poorly on the others.

Today I made it to section 5 of Africa and nearly the end of the race :D

Super Hang On is just Bad Outrun, and Outrun 3DS is the best version. You know what you must do.
