Any opinions on the new version of Hard Reset? I only played like a demo of the original I think.

The National Endowment for the Arts in 2012 bestowed the University of Southern California with a $40,000 grant to create, based on the book, an online video game called Walden, a Game,[32] in which players "will inhabit an open, three-dimensional game world which will simulate the geography and environment of Walden Woods".[33]

It's pretty good because they added the dash moves from Shadow Warrior and they have no cooldown so you can just dash in every direction all the time. This added the much needed mobility to the game so now you can easily avoid the bigger enemies' attacks and herd the smaller ones. Maybe it's even too easy now while earlier the game was a bit too hard.

Graphically it's not that much improved but it looks alright, a bit dated but competent and the weapons' animations are as amusing as they were at release and the particle effects/explosions/electrocusions are still good.

Now that walking sims and psychological horror is in vogue you could probably do a horror walking thing around inferno. It'd be hard to gently caress up.

Dante's Inferno is dope for precisely the first half and crap for the last half.

It's basically God of Ghouls and Ghosts. Satan stole your rockin' set of tits and you gotta go massacre the legions of hell to get them back. The best thing is, the devil just acts like a douchebag who kicked sand in your face on the beach and stole your girlfriend, so there's this absurd camp quality undercutting the literal transcriptions from the poem.

The game is shallow as gently caress and totally ran out of money after Gluttony and the last boss is SO loving BAD but I have a strange fondness for the game anyway. Dante himself has very amusing facial expressions, and teh design for Cleopatra was...memorable...to say the least.

Watching gameplay videos of the new Mirror's Edge and that awful red directional "go here" ribbon kind of ruins everything about the visuals. It sticks out like a sore thumb and feels to go against the whole open-world parkour style.

The game has an option to set Runner Vision to "classic" which highlights colors and doesn't show the trail.

edit: The guide trail thing is almost the one complaint I would say is unfair against the game. Most other things are like eh it's not great

Gotta be an H-game, with raunchy scenes like these:

Ulysses Chapter 13 - Nausicca posted:

And Jacky Caffrey shouted to look, there was another and she leaned back and the garters were blue to match on account of the transparent and they all saw it and shouted to look, look there it was and she leaned back ever so far to see the fireworks and something queer was flying about through the air, a soft thing to and fro, dark. And she saw a long Roman candle going up over the trees up, up, and, in the tense hush, they were all breathless with excitement as it went higher and higher and she had to lean back more and more to look up after it, high, high, almost out of sight, and her face was suffused with a divine, an entrancing blush from straining back and he could see her other things too, nainsook knickers, the fabric that caresses the skin, better than those other pettiwidth, the green, four and eleven, on account of being white and she let him and she saw that he saw and then it went so high it went out of sight a moment and she was trembling in every limb from being bent so far back he had a full view high up above her knee no-one ever not even on the swing or wading and she wasn't ashamed and he wasn't either to look in that immodest way like that because he couldn't resist the sight of the wondrous revealment half offered like those skirt-dancers behaving so immodest before gentlemen looking and he kept on looking, looking. She would fain have cried to him chokingly, held out her snowy slender arms to him to come, to feel his lips laid on her white brow the cry of a young girl's love, a little strangled cry, wrung from her, that cry that has rung through the ages. And then a rocket sprang and bang shot blind and O! then the Roman candle burst and it was like a sigh of O! and everyone cried O!O! in raptures and it gushed out of it a stream of rain gold hair threads and they shed and ah! they were all greeny dewy stars falling with golden, O so lively! O so soft, sweet, soft!

If you liked Fallout 4, I'm not really sure you'll like Witcher 3, since the latter basically is the exact opposite of the former.

The only advice I'll give you: put points into your delusion ability and if you simulate a Witcher 2 save, you'll be asked some questions at some point. Always choose the answer that doesn't involve you killing somebody, particularly a character named "Letho". You will not be disappointed if you do this.

I haven't played it but From what I understand they removed guns but kept forced fights against people with guns which doesn't seem like the way they should have done it.

I am sure I will enjoy something. I have played many games and there has only been one I could say I have actually disliked playing.

The rest I could still give positives about and been thankful for having experienced it.
