I have a lot of games in my backlog I've never played and I don't want to let them pass without trying them because who knows, they might be great. If you force yourself to finish a game you can't stand that's just dumb. Admit you made a bad buy and move on, it happens to all of us. That's why Duke Nukem Forever will forever sit at ~10 minutes playtime in my library (it turned me off pretty much immediately).

But I own them, and I may install them on a lazy day and play them. I've done it before, I'll continue to do it. This, pretty much. I've bought a game because it looks cool and then immediately booted New Vegas. I play my backlog whenever I get bored enough with my regular games. Also Bastion is amazing.

Motherfucker posted:no please tell us more about how bastion is a transcendental experience which defies definition. If you don't want to hear people  about games what are you doing on the something awful dot com games forum

Motherfucker posted:I'm genuinely interested in hearing how video game genres are 'woefully inadequate' at describing video games following a common trend. Succinctly, because Bastion is more than the sum of its parts. Saying it's an isometric platformer slash beat-em-up is like saying Pachelbel's Canon is a piece of music written in the key of D major and 4/4 time. It's technically accurate but it kind of misses the whole point. (I am not saying Bastion is as culturally relevant as Pachelbel's Canon nor am I saying it has the same artistic value. I don't want to open the whole 'video games/art'  . It's just an analogy.)

Motherfucker posted:If you're not gonna open the You know what? Honestly, I can't argue with that. You made a good point and you made it effectively. This may be the best discussion I've ever had that started with "shut the gently caress up".
