KickBeat looks boring as hell and it's really weird that there's almost zero sound effects in the gameplay.

sleepwalkers posted:It's possible to make really great pizza, but even the worst pizza is still some okay-rear end pizza. No way. I've had a frozen pizza so bad that I took one bite and had to throw the entire thing away. It was one of the worst foods I've ever eaten. I wish I could remember what brand it was. All I remember is that it was frozen, shaped like a big rectangle, and in a bag. The bag had a cartoon pizza dude on it.

If I want minimum hassle Pizza I usually just pick a fresh one up from the grocery store on the way home from work and toss it in the oven for ten minutes. Sometimes I even add my own toppings if I'm feeling particularly motivated. For take-out Pizza I usually use Pizza Express.

If I just want an easy, quick frozen pizza I'll get a Jack's, they usually come out good. If I want a more substantial frozen pizza I'll get a Tombstone. Ordered pizza, you always go with the non-chain or small chain places for the best stuff. Otherwise I'll eat a pizza from anywhere.

Maybe once a year I'll go and pick up 10 Mama Celeste pizzas and eat like 5 of them for dinner that night. Then I get depressed that I ate 5 of those things but at the same time be happy because I really like them. Help me

Man, where do you guys live that you can't get any pizza other than chain? I can think of three places within a mile that I can get a drat good pizza from. Maybe that's just an East Coast thing. You know, the East Coast thing: having good pizza. To be more on topic, man, Tomb Raider still makes me uncomfortable. I don't want to watch Lara Croft get sniffed by a freaky Russian dude that she then shoots in the face. Bring back dumb, campy Tomb Raider. I want to jump on a golden hand and then turn into gold because that is the good kind of dumb.

woodenchicken posted:I think when Matt Rorie ran Screened, he had a term "half-good": well, Tomb Raider is basically what that term was made for. It's not average, it just has huge highs and lows. On one hand, the crazy good environments I could gently caress around for hours, on the other all this creepy poo poo, baby fat, glorified QTEs with 15 facial impalements in a row.. Its good parts are as good as the bad parts are lovely. That's a good point. Give me the Just Cause 2 attitude to Tomb Raider's open world. Or just replace Lara Croft with Rico Rodriguez. Most of Lara's problems could be solved with appropriate use of a grappling hook. A rope arrow does not count.

Its good parts are just as good as the bad parts are lovely. It's the one creepy scene (and the creep gets a bullet for it) and the QTEs are nearly gone after the first half hour (a handful of escape/jump quasi-cutscenes aside). Still one of the top games of 2013 for me, despite the lack of real tomb raiding.

ugh pizza fans are the worst community, i hope when they release pizza 2 it'll suck and give food poisoning so we finally have less pizza talk in this here holy videogame th... yeah i can't even do it. Pizza is pretty great.  I still enjoy that the bombcast rss description says they test horrible energy drinks. When was the last time they did that? It's wrong and something needs to be done about it. That something being "bring back horrible energy drink tasting and the bodily harm that comes along with it".

The worst part about Tomb Raider was that the death animations weren't varied enough like in Resident Evil 4. If you are gonna have stupid QTEs and sequences that result in instant death you should at least put some effort into the deaths.

I really liked Tomb Raider 2013, but you're right. Lara sure did get impaled on a lot of metal spears. Maybe the next game will take a lighter tone. And she'll be a pirate.

The weird violence in Tomb Raider made more sense when I heard it was originally planned as a horror game. I imagine the gruesome deaths fit the tone better when you were also getting chased by the ghost from The Ring or whatever. As it is, the few weird horror set pieces and Dead Space death scenes don't fit the rest of the game at all.

It makes sense from the perspective of making the entire game seem like an uphill fight for survival, which is more or less what they were trying to go for narratively with Lara. The issue comes in when she completely trivializes every single enemy she comes across throughout the game. If they had made stealth more integral and less a very loose option, it would have made a bit more sense, but even then most of the death animations are still too uncomfortably gruesome and relegated to environmental hazards that players interact with solely through quick-time events. It sort of fits narratively but from a mechanics perspective they're unnecessary and made even more uncomfortable than the animations by themselves are.

I kinda wish Tomb Raider did turn out to be a horror game, because it has The Descent references all over it. I'd play the poo poo out of a The Descent game. If it was good of course.

The moment you get the gun it's game over for everything in your way and the plot does not acknowledge this.
