I took a lifespan studies course last semester in college that taught me all about the horrors of aging and filled me with all sorts of terrible thoughts. But you know what the cool thing about gaming is? Aging honestly barely matters. The slight decline that occurs in reflexes after yours 20s really isn't a huge deal. People make it out to be a way bigger issue than it is. What going from your 20s to your 30s does is a steep decline in your bodies ability to recuperate from injuries quickly. Physical abuse becomes a much more serious problem. But uh, gamers don't really go through much in the way of physical stress. Ya'll don't need to worry about being bad at games because you're old; you're just bad at games because you suck (and have less time to play them probably). Now, when you start passing 60 and the horror of Alzehimer's surface, then you can lament your dwindling gaming prowess. Of course everything in your life is going to be turning worse while you slowly creep towards the inescapable clutch of death, feeling your body and brain deteriorate beyond your control!

Oh you definitely can gently caress up your body playing games too much, but the point is just playing casually like 99% of us do isn't gonna be an issue. Whereas one casual match of contact football can result in serious injury, though that's true regardless of age. What I'm saying is as far as hobbies go, gaming is a pretty good one to have and be able to do for most of your life. exquisite tea posted:I'm way fitter now in my 30s than in my 20s and it's loving awesome. You can be fit and active for almost your entire life! The 20s are just when the body is at its peak performance for physical activities, and as you grow into the later 30s you really need to be more careful about injury since your ability to recuperate drops off. There are even elderly people who are still really active in certain ways, though that has a lot to do with genetic lottery in addition to how you take care of yourself. I don't like thinking about this stuff but taking that class kind of forced me to. Sometimes I woder how I'll face aging since even in my 20s I'm not nearly as fit as I should be. But then I remember stuff like this; Oxxidation posted:look at the news re: climate change, very few of us thirtysomethings will make it to 60 and the ones who do will envy the dead And the crushing weight of the dreadful future snowballs into an overwhelming force of despair that makes me wanna crawl into bed and cry a bit. ....how bout them video games?

Taintrunner posted:I'm in the small and uncool camp of people who think Anthem has looked terrible from the get-go and hopes it bombs hard so Bioware is finally taken out back behind the barn and put out of their misery, as sad as it will be to see people lose their jobs, they haven't make a good game since ME2 (which is up for debate in some regards, admittedly, but I really liked it) and it's just loving embarrassing at this point Anthem will most likely be mediocre. It won't bomb, but it won't be the big Destiny/Warframe Killer EA so obviously wants it to be. Honestly though, after Andromeda I think its safe to say that the studio closing would be good. Anyone with talent and skill there clearly isn't in charge and is just being stifled under EA.

Dungeon Crawl, a game most people have never heard of nor will ever care about It was a community developed game but the devs currently running it keep doing poo poo I hate and actively spite me when I try to talk to them so I don't even wanna touch it anymore. It feels weird and sad to play a game when you know the people making it would rather you didn't play it, or played it while saying nothing to them.

Kingdom Hearts 3 looks like an entirely spectacle driven game where even on the hardest difficulty every single fight is a cakewalk. Some people like that but I need to be engaged with a game when I play it.

But its finally reached the point where I can't take it anymore, so I'll probably try Gooncrawl out at some point. Gooncrawl is really cool though and Floodkiller is real nice trying to salvage the game for SA.

Majula is probably the best hub area I've ever seen in a game The mood of it is perfect for the story of Dark Souls 2. But also its just nice and cozy with great music.

Me, angry and upset: "I'm never playing Crawl again" Not even 5 hours later: "But playing in the tournament is fun..." I feel like a loving drug addict. I need to stop thinking about this stupid game. EDIT: I'll play the old version! That's acceptable! I'm not desperate

precision posted:Get this: watching funny youtube summaries of the plot is why I'm tempted to get it Its not really funny having to experience it all though. Its absurd in summary format but playing through it is dreadfully boring unless you like that kind of stuff. Those summaries condense stuff and cut out tons of meaningless stuff in an attempt to form some cohesion out of its mess of a story.

Endorph posted:because the idea of a military academy is somehow more juvenile and impossible to them than a magical dimension where you send babies to so they can age ten times as fast and never see their parents They can both be terrible! If this had come out before Fates I'd be more optimistic but based on the designs on the trailer and the pitch its probably gonna be a ton of highschool/college anime bullshit, which I cannot stand. I'm sure the gameplay will still be good but holy poo poo the last thing I want from these games is a bunch of kids and their social life in murder school.

Harrow posted:The story and characters in Fates were unbelievably bad but the map/battle design in Conquest was so good I didn't even care Yeah that's probably while I buy this anyways, and admittedly the whole "Three Houses" mechanic can probably add some good replay value. I'm betting its gonna be mostly the same game no matter what you pick in terms of plot and missions but the units you have at your disposal will be different, which is interesting. But I have zero confidence in the writing.

Endorph posted:Iunno, everything we've seen of the plot/dialogue seems fairly grounded? Admittedly we haven't seen a lot yet but compared to Fates's intro trailer which had that freaking camilla shot everything's been pretty lowkey. I dunno, I can't really be optimistic with anything about that game's writing. I mean on paper, Fates doesn't sound like its story concept is terrible either but we all know how they managed to botch that.

Grapplejack posted:The biggest issue is that the missions in the demo were loving boring. Does the main game have anything new or more exciting, or is it like Destiny where it's a barely disguised loot treadmill and you just put up with it for colors? It is literally just EA telling Bioware to make a Destiny clone because Destiny was raking in big bucks when dev work on this started.

Hot take on Anthem: the writing is insanely bad! Also the game flat out needed more time to make it actually loving work. I've lost count of the number of things I've seen break watching a stream of it. Player can't even get into team missions cause it keeps loading him into the wrong area. I'm genuinely curious why EA pushed this out right next to Apex. Internet Kraken fucked around with this message at 03:36 on Feb 16, 2019 |

I just told him to exercise liberal use of the incognito function.

Apex Legends has double the views that Fortnite does I was really baffled by how it managed to succeed where all other imitators have failed, but a stream I watched the other day actually explained it pretty well; Apex Legends is the only game that was actually designed to be a BR. PUBG is a complete mess for a ton of reasons, and Fortnite just copied PUBG to salvage its pathetic main game. Then Fortnite became popular, and everyone just copied Fortnite. Nobody was actually building a BR from the groundup thinking about how to make it really work. Everyone was just copying Fortnite, which was copying PUBG, which was a piece of trash. It was like a feedback loop of failure that Apex managed to break out of by doing its own thing.

Jay Rust posted:Tf2's story is dumb I think TF2's story is about as much as you can expect from a comical FPS. I genuinely enjoyed all the different lines each class had for murdering each other. The overarching metanarrative they created to tie everything together is an idiotic mess but I think that was the point. Its a pointless nest of self-defeating actions orchestrated by a shadowy corporation to justify building more guns to use against itself.
