CYBEReris posted:it's cool that there's a game that distills space station 13 down to the worker/antag dichotomy and recontextualizes it as a social deduction game but watching among us i always just have the urge to play space station 13 again instead Among Us only truly shines in a group of friends where you can use voice chat to run the meetings and lie your rear end off about where you were when Blue was found in Electrical. It's nowhere near as good texting with strangers.

I gotta recommend Let's Game It Out for the new thread OP. Josh showcases a lot of indie builder and sim games as much as just playing games in the absolutely wrong way possible, with an absurd number of hours often put into his madness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BRSus9eU10 As well as abusing Sims. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19JYOVPmwDM And Zoo animals.

Jamie Faith posted:But I think Doug took note of how his fellow critics were growing and tried to be more ambitious. The thing is Doug is not a smart person so he doesn't have the smarts to back up a deeper approach to media beyond "lol! Tommy Wiseau sure is wacky!" or "A BAT CREDIT CARD???? *incoherent screaming*" Thus you get poo poo like his Wall """""""""""""review""""""""""""" where he thinks he's making deep biting commentary on it when in actuality he's just embarrassing himself and is too stupid and/or egotistical to notice I think the writing was on the wall even earlier than that; In hindsight it was obvious how little he actually understands about media when he tried to riff on Let's Plays being the hot new thing at the time with his infamously-deliberately-crap Bart vs the Space Mutants one.

That reminds me of dunking on BoTL repeatedly with his own quote about judging literature based on its prose being snobbery. I actually dug through the 3.0 thread to find it. Just quoting this post of his; Bravest of the Lamps posted:Judging literature only based on it's prose is upper class snobbery.

dmboogie posted:fallout 3 definitely has stuff to enjoy in it but the "sure i'm immune to radiation but it's ~your destiny~ to go into this radioactive room and heroically die" bit might be the dumbest writing choice in any rpg Nah, ME3's original Destruction ending wins that one hands-down, though "you gotta go irradiate yourself to death, it's your destiny" is a good close second imo. (Also just its endings in general for the three-game momentum behind that trainwreck).

Casey Finnigan posted:I was good at playing spy way, way back when TF2 had just come out. I feel like over time people got better at identifying spies and I would just die over and over from pyro spychecks. Demoman and scout were ultimately a lot more fun to play though. The problem with a character type like the Spy is it's stuck being built around trying to blend into a group of people that know friendly fire doesn't exist and there's zero reason NOT to shoot everyone who approaches you regardless of team colour.

nine-gear crow posted:It's looking more like 6 is gonna be Hammerfell than High Rock, which is gonna be an interesting disaster seeing a company run by Todd Howard try to portray a largely black/Arabic culture and setting in a way that isn't amazingly godawfully racist. Either way, I'm waiting for the Beyond Skyrim team to finish all their province mods. gently caress Bethesda, I'm sure the mod community will give me a fully visitable Tamriel all in one game by maybe the end of 2030. Don't worry; Todd Howard's also the executive producer on the newly-announced Indiana Jones adventure game so I'd say there's even-money that also goes full "Temple of Doom".

Nuns with Guns posted:I don't know what Babysitter Super Sleuth is specifically referring to, but with Cyberpunk 20XX (and also Shadowrun in a similar vein) both "balance" the installation of cyber augments by baking into the mechanics certain ways it dissociates you from your humanity or otherwise removes you from being "natural". In the Cyberpunk RPGs you usually have an Empathy score that goes down as you get more augments, and if your Empathy score hits 0, you enter a cyber-psychosis killing state and the character reverts to a GM-controlled NPC. This is kind of lovely, given plenty of people who do have modern day "augments" or artificial limbs manage not to do this. The way I read it was they're probably replacing/augmenting parts of the player's brain as well in order to control those limbs with cannons/blades/claws/etc, and when their Empathy score ticks down to 0 that means there's nothing of the player's brain left so they become an automated killing machine.

Nuns with Guns posted:People have marinaded with Coca-Cola, too (e-lol Kim sent the post above mine while I was typing.) Mountain Dew seems a bit much, when you could probably get the lemon-lime flavor from 7 Up or Sprite without the extra food coloring or caffeine seeping into the meat, but it's not out of the realm of possibility. It's a very unattractive food photo still, though it's a whole separate art to make food photography look appetizing. Admittedly my cooking skills are pretty basic, but wouldn't using Mountain Dew on top of stuffing it with lemons and limes just be an overpowering amount of citrus?

Dapper_Swindler posted:they sorta used to back in the old old days but yeah, they havent for years. even loving south park has sorta walked back on some of its shittier statements like the al gore thing and pessimism in general and sorta "tried" to be better kinda. that being said, i have always liked that show despite not agreeing with it alot. meanwhile the simpsons just apes the worst parts of family guy/south park/etc with none of the good. South Park's shown a willingness to evolve over the years and let their characters change to open up new story possibilities. Especially with their change to make events stick week-to-week instead of resetting each episode. The Simpsons has only done that VERY rarely over its thirty-year (  ) run. And the only one that's ever really stuck, to my knowledge, is Maude's death. Something I think The Simpsons sorely needs to do is just pull a time-skip of, say, about five years to shuffle things about and re-plant some seeds for storylines out of that skipped period.Famethrowa posted:seeing wayneradiotv reminded me I'm due for a rewatch of my favorite video by them I've seen a bit of wayneradiotv's stuff, and his Toreba Crane Game stream is an amazing multi-hour saga to get a prize.

Dapper_Swindler posted:yeah. south park for all its issues(and there are plenty) at least evolve and learn from stuff. simpsons has basicaly just become the thing is used to mock(status quo sitcoms) but dumber. its also animated adult/"adult" cartoon series have evolved in general since the simpsons. i wish they would just cancel the loving show already even though they never will. Even Groenig's other shows have evolved considerably. Futurama quietly just let Fry and Leela be in a healthy relationship in the latter seasons rather than dragging out the will-they-won't they thing, and Disenchantment is fairly hit-or-miss but at least trying to go somewhere with a larger arching story.

Vagabundo posted:The OFLC usually publishes a summary of their decisions. Here's why Saving Private Ryan got a specially created R15 instead of its original R16: The Australian ratings board, on the other hand, likes to clutch their pearls and scream "THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!  " at anything approaching an adult situation because they're all ultra-conservative. And utterly despise that there's finally an R18+ rating for games now so they can't arbitrarily ban titles anymore at their pleasure because it has a bit of blood in it.Arcsquad12 posted:You'll need a fake license to watch ultra-porn. I can't get it up for anything less than four-dimensional hyper-porn nowadays  .Max Wilco posted:Something I read recently mentioned that in the UK (or maybe it's just England specificially) that late-night televised content either shows way more explicit stuff than you see in the US or it's aired at an earlier hour or something (I don't remember what it was exactly).

For context, the "sex and violence intersecting in any way" R18+ Hammer has been brought down on things like "Someone groped a titty in an anime RPG game. Once. In a cutscene. In a 30/50 hour game".

Sydin posted:Exactly, it's trivially easy for a company with Disney's resources to dress up a convincing double and ADR Hamill's voice in. And then you wouldn't be stuck with a weird CGI object that spends a very emotional scene rooted to the floor with a blank stare. The only reason I'm not as offended by the Luke CGI as I am with Tarkin is that at least Hamill is still around to give his blessing for them to CGI his likeness. Using CGI to recreate long dead actors like they did with Cushing just feels incredibly tasteless to me. CGI Leia in Rise of Skywalker is incredibly tasteless. They at least had some semi-relevant unused dialogue to use with Cushing iirc, but for Leia it's all random cut dialogue with zero relevance they're trying to hamfistedly force into some kind of context. And fail miserably at it.

DeafNote posted:Cant be worse than that one episode of the Sopranos. Carrie Fisher passed away with ample time to write around her death with some manner of dignity and respect. Instead the film devotes three characters (including Rose Tico) to a full-time job of sitting around and taking random cut lines to try to make them work in context several times over the course of the movie. "What's that The stuff at the start with Rey running the training course is actually pretty passable I'll admit, but after everyone's left the hideout to get the plot rolling every now and then the story just cuts back to the Stall-for-Time Leia Players trying to prop her up for another macabre puppet show for no good reason.

Sydin posted:Yeah definitely that too, that the writers just couldn't be assed to write Leia out of their story and had to force her into a major role even if it meant abusing every scrap of remaining cut content they had from her and CGI'ing Fisher's likeness when she was so recently deceased was inexcusable. The whole idea of CGI'd dead actors - even with the blessings of their estates - is wholly off-putting to me unless it is the briefest of brief shots. Like if you want to CGI reconstruct young Hamill or Fisher for a photo a character is holding or something then fine, but as soon as you actually try to put them in a scene with dialogue you lose all sympathy from me. I was honestly perfectly fine with it in Rogue One. CGI Leia there is a brief scene and serves as a bridge directly into A New Hope. I also really liked them salvaging some old unused bits from the Death Star run to include some of the X-Wing pilots in the shield attack .The ending of The Mandalorian Season 2 Ehhhhhh, I'm not a fan of it but I'm okay with it as well in this instance as it's mostly in the background of the scene proper rather than shoved in the audience's face (Look, it's Luke!... and now back to the big goodbye scene!). If it was gonna be anyone picking up Grogu it'd have to be Luke anyway because there's a few too many focus-stealing Jedi-related questions to raise for a season-finale in a Mandalorian show if it was anyone else known in broader canon or pulled out of Legends. And they at least got Mark Hamil to voice "himself" for it.

Bakeneko posted:Fallen Order was alright. A little barebones as far as Soulslike games go, but competently put-together and definitely way better than most people were expecting from an EA Star Wars game. I didn't encounter any bugs, but I didn't play it right away so maybe it'd been patched by the time I got to it. If you've played literally other Souls or Soulslike game it really feels like they only had one described to them second-hand and didn't actually play any themselves when developing Fallen Order. It's fundamentally built well, it's just not built... right, if that makes sense? All the pieces are technically there, but they didn't pick up the lessons learned in other similar games to make it actually play well (eg; actually being able to dodge without your opponent pivoting on a dime mid-charge).

Nuns with Guns posted:Cutting out part of the pokedex I'm mixed on, because obviously they'd add more back in with DLC, but it does kind of suck to have to pay to access some pokemon like that. And even after that there's still like around 300ish that aren't available. Maybe it is partially out of the short turnaround time, too, and not having the time to port every pokemon model to the Switch games, but I don't know I'm not optimistic about having free access to every pokemon ever at once again. And part of that is that they're incentivized to cut them out and sell them back to you later, which does kind of stink. The big hump was getting into full 3D game development with SW/SH coming from the "2.5D" games. Basic core gameplay comes first, then comes the fancy nice-to-haves like your pokemon following you. What's important is once those are done, they're theoretically done forever and should roll into the next game from the get-go. Getting pokemon in isn't about "cutting them out", it should realistically look like a checklist of the 3D model, moveset review, and animations (of which there's gonna be, what, 4-5 maybe for anything that isn't a starter or Legendary?). And again once it's in, it's theoretically in forever. It doesn't even matter if you aren't able to catch all 900-odd Pokemon in a game now, because that's what Pokemon Home is for.

Sydin posted:I'm kind of ready for a post-old guard Nintendo in general. At this point it's largely been the same core of people in charge of the same core franchises for close to 30 years and while I understand that's responsible for how unique and (relatively) consistent Nintendo is as a developer compared to the entire rest of the industry, one does have to wonder how many cool and interesting ideas have been shot down in the name of that consistency. Breath of the Wild was quite purposefully given to "post-old-guard" Nintendo to see what they'd create iirc. The Bee posted:Sticker Star should've been a classic adventure game where you use your inventory items on all your other inventory items. Tying a completely useless battle system to it did nothing but drag it down. At least the ring puzzles tried to be something, you know? Colour Splash is very nearly this, and a good one, because combat's completely superfluous and the boss fights clearly bank on you figuring out the Thing that will completely wreck them. It's well worth a play if you have a WiiU.
