The last of us was the best game released for the PS3

It was a good story wrapped around the most bog standard 3rd person gameplay ever which was made worse by having intentionally clunky controls to make it feel more desperate. I hate games that purposefully handicap the player like that in the name of difficulty, but I guess it is easier to make controls more sluggish than it would be to make enemies smarter.

1. While Witcher 3 is a great game, Witcher 2 is better because it's a "tighter" experience, the in-game choices have more of an impact, and the plot has no "save the world" elements.

Witcher 2 also feels the most uniquely "Witcher-y" of the three games. The first game has hints of it, while the third game is a great blend of fantasy and distinctly Polish aesthetics. But 2 is on the frontier of society and it has those giant trees, remote outposts and a city built by lizard people.

I'd place TW2 over TW3, but really, I couldn't stand either of them. But I finished TW2 as it was a gift and didn't want to look like an rear end in a top hat.

Ever since Ive witnessed death and been forced to lead and care for others I have become incapable of enjoying video games the same way I did as a teenager. I'll buy games, I'll try to play them, but I become detached, I "see the pixels". I may enjoy multiplayer games with friends, but it is truly my friends company that I enjoy.

Every video game thread devolves into just "discuss your favorite video games" no matter what the initial topic was. It's the same way with movie threads - look at the PYF irritating movie moments (actually don't), for every post that fits the topic there is a full page of one just talking about minutiae about comic book movies.

To the goons that were talking about Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy... thank you. I'd forgotten my new computer could run all those emulators I wanted to try, and Dolphin works great. I downloaded those Mario games and they are both pretty sweet, and now I want to see what other GC games I missed out on. I played Galaxy last night for about an hour and it was p fun.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
I think I'm done with PC gaming. I'm gonna get a Scorpio when it comes out, and take a more relaxed approach to video games.

beware of Rogue Squadron, a year ago they would boot up but dolphin could not emulate some of the functions that drew the landscapes or allowed you to orient yourself. You will play as a gray blob flying in a see of blob until you explode on a star destroyer over and over

I've modified it in a lot of meaningful yet arbitrary ways and it's become one of the best games I've ever played.

A short list of what I've done:

1.) Got a regrowth mod that adds actual vegetation everywhere. Just makes the map more interesting and feels better.

2.) Got a spawn mod that massively increases the amount of patrols and vertibirds that spawn

3.) Got a leveled list mod that redistributes power armor across the factions. BoS deploys T-45 with knights, T-51 with paladins and T-60 with star paladins (when they are deployed with power armor, of course). Gunner colonels are often found in suits of X-01.

4.) Got a raider overhaul mod that adds a ton of content to raiders. Also a lot more raider power armor is deployed.

5.) Multiple weapon and armor mods, specifically centered around adding as much content as possible to the game. I still don't know half the poo poo in these weapon and armor packs and I'm 10 hours into a savegame.

6.) Power Armor mod that makes the wearer invulnerable so long as it's armored. It's imperfect and there are a lot of tweaks I want to do with it, but I just haven't had the time to really mess with it in the creation kit. As it stands though, it makes power armored enemies an extremely serious threat, as they can soak up thousands of rounds of small arms fire before you even put a dent in their armor. In Fallout canon, a single soldier in power armor was capable of liberating an entire town single handedly and this really manifests with this mod. When heavy support rolls onto the scene, it's time for a real change in tactics.

7.) Hardcore damage mod. Everything is lethal, even moreso than on Survival. This is a two way street, no more bullet sponge soft targets. Again, imperfect. Ideally I would like to make Deathclaws, Mirelurk Queens and Sentry bots just as unkillable as power armored soldiers, but again I just haven't had the time to mess with it in the creation kit.

8.) Damage threshold mod, readds the very much loved mechanic of damage thresholds to some armors so that you need more than a pipe rifle to kill a gunner sergeant clad in ballistic armor.

9.) Vertibird enhancement mod that makes them extremely resilient (almost impossible to bring down with small arms) and also gives them a lot of firepower. The sound of vertibirds in the air is an indicator to run for cover before it spots you and lights you up.

That's about the extent of it. Almost everything else is minor cosmetic stuff (like weather mods that make weather that much better) or requirements for other mods.

It's fun to kill an hour or so every so often to play in the sandbox of post apocalyptic hell. I completely ignore quests and just enjoy the gunplay, which is actually really nice once you get rid of the loving terrible bullet sponges. Yes I realize I made power armored units are even bigger bullet sponges than anything in the base game, but it's nice. They feel like bosses and if you don't have power armor with you when you run into some heavy metal ground pounders it's a pretty frantic fight of hit and run tactics to try and destroy some bit of their armor so you can actually hurt them. Or the BoS/Gunners come in and ruin the party with CAS vertibirds laying down a poo poo ton of fire support which blows right through power armor.

while there are actual, literal human slaves littered all over the setting and even in the DLCs. One of the companions was even a former slave, iirc.
