KILLSCREEN should be a sci-fi action thriller movie from the late 1980s, starring Arnold.

i have been hyped for no man's sky based on my realistic expectations, to wit:

- i will be able to fly to different planets and explore them
- 65daysofstatic does the soundtrack

lol @ anyone who didn't realize it's just an ambitious indie game, because if you thought it was anything other than a weed smoking screen saver time killer you clearly didn't do any research at all

NMS is basically a study in the concept that constraints paradoxically give people more freedom because the negative space is somehow comforting and inspiring. It is the "Write 10,000 words about anything you want!" novella challenge. The Chili's kid's menu with every color crayon available and no images to fill-in, if you will.

Now that you say that, maybe it will fulfill my desire for a new Noby Noby Boy-like on nextgen. Don't get my damned hopes up, precision...

The No Man's Sky devs bragging about putting a bunch of Jaden Smith quotes in the game was when I knew my disinterest was completely justified, because if there's one thing a game about meditative space exploration needs it's some epic may-mays.

it's also one of those things where some people just fundamentally don't "get" it. they're like "yeah, whatever, it looks pretty, but what do you DO?" "uh, i dunno, probably fly around, mine space rocks, buy different ships, chill out" "no but like what do you DO?"

it's like that Steam post about Her Story where the guy goes "how do i know when i've beat the game" and someone responds "when you feel satisfied" and the guy says "how do i know when i'm satisfied"

they have to show a guy making an upgrade to his ship so he can do something he couldn't do before because every video is the same and no one ever makes any form of progress that we are told is there. smh at this pr plan.

i am too busy playing zelda for that. i just beat the first dungeon in phantom hourglass, which made me blow on the screen, and obscenely told me to rub my stylus.

i didn't know you could jump across some of the pits, and my wife solved that puzzle for me. the boss was p. hard because you have to look at two screens at once.

:agreed:

this is why Journey is still the best game ever. it tells probably the greatest story in all video gaming without using written OR spoken language and minimal imagery, but also has big levels where you run around collecting shiny things, every one of which lets you fly higher, and as everyone knows, flying rules

I really want NMS to be what precision described. It's even better cause the PS4 has Spotify now so I can change up the soundtrack if need be.

So apparently the whole reason why gears of War got a Super Deluxe HD remake is that they're pulling a Jurassic World and are making a second Sequel that has a different timeline.

Oh sure Atlus claim that Persona 5 has an all new cast and then drop the Megaton bomb that the Persona 4 cast shows up about 1/4th of the way through and they're like in their 30's and are basically the Ghostbusters but run by Chie who is wearing Arnold's Clothes from Terminator 2 and the entire P5 cast just becomes Vaan from Final Fantasy 12.

Persona 5 is just Persona 4 part 4. Do Not believe the lies.
