GoneRampant posted:People like Errant Signal (who hasn't made a single good video since he left Spoiler Warning) who were looking for deeper political meaning in this game are comparable to people who try and strike gold in a silver mine; they're looking for something that was never there in the first place. No? He's upfront about not expecting much, if any of an intentional message in a modern AAA game. He's talking about what you're left with in that void since you can't actually just "say nothing".

why do gamers think that criticism implies outrage is it because outrage is their natural state of being so they just assume that everyone else is doing it too rhetorical questions. gently caress video games Augus fucked around with this message at 23:22 on May 2, 2018 |

I feel like all one has to do is look at Channel Awesome to conclude that most people should never attempt skits. Red Letter Media is the only internet reviewer group that can make a decent skit and even they are mostly hit and miss.

Augus posted:why do gamers think that criticism implies outrage Same reason people think "I don't like that movie," or "That movie has some flaws," translates to "This movie is bad, and you are a bad person for liking it." Combined with a lot of gamers making the jump from "I am upset at what you said," to "You are obviously upset because you said something that upset me." And/or flashbacks to that time when people complaining about violence in videogames led to a threat of industry censorship, even though that obviously went nowhere.

The red letter media skits are dire garbage. They’ve long since put the umbrella of that tired double-irony “bad on purpose look we’re winking this isn’t a genuine attempt to be funny isn’t that funny?” they use when they’re ashamed of something. But I guess they’re afraid their mid-30s teen audience would be mad if they just spoke honestly about movies they had something to say about.

As far as the endings to FC5 go, I came across this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kzx3JGB0QPU), which might shine a little light into why it was like that.

They have some weird fear of just speaking directly. Mike’s analysis especially hides a tender optimistic star-trek heart under cold nihilism. Why bring up loving Star Trek every review if you don’t see things through softhearted optimism?

I saw 40 new replies in the Internet Critic thread and was pleasantly surprised to see it was the fun kind of stupid rather than the usual kind. I'd post content but Noah Gervais's Far Cry video isn't done rendering yet https://twitter.com/MrGervaisWrites/status/991669288275656704

Yardbomb posted:4's just 3 but better, 5 plays better than 4 but with worse story, I dunno 3 just never did anything at all for me. 4's gameplay is generally more refined, but everything else...eh. Didn't care for the setting, didn't care for the characters, and a lot of the improvements didn't amount to much. I might change my opinion if/when I go back to it, but it failed to grab me in the same way 3 did despite its faults.

I like FC3 and Blood Dragon okay (haven't played any of the games since then), but while Blood Dragon's goofy 80s sci-fi theme was fun, I remember some of the mechanics in feeling like a step back from the base FC3.

Call me crazy, but I think that 3's story and mechanics added up to something more interesting than it's usually given credit for.

khwarezm posted:Call me crazy, but I think that 3's story and mechanics added up to something more interesting than it's usually given credit for. I feel like Far Cry 3 came out right before Ubisoft began to run the whole "climb towers to find collectables and clear out outposts" formula to the ground so it feels pretty fresh and really good to play. Even now the gunplay still holds up really well. Vaas helps raise a good-if-not-great script to something great, but his absence is keenly felt in the second half. Weirdly, what I otherwise remember from Far Cry 3 is that I got really good at poker in that and Watch Dogs for like six months before I suddenly became awful again.

Edit: Then again I guess it’s probably? the biggest series he’s done, at least in number of titles depending on what he wants to cover. There’s Far Cry, it’s console re-releases which changed some stuff, 2, 3, Blood Dragon, 4, maybe the Yeti thing from 4, and 5. Kibayasu fucked around with this message at 01:12 on May 3, 2018 |

Arcsquad12 posted:The Wyatt timeline for both games does feel somewhat tacked on, because the Fergus timeline in New Order really hammers home the game's theme of the old geezers going out for one last hurrah as a bookend to WW2 games in general. And I like Tekla a lot as well. I love the Hendrix scenes but he is tacked on as is Wyatt. The story was pretty bonkers to begin with, but yeah, once you get your head cut off it goes into overdrive, like going to Venus to meet a syphilitic Hitler who shoots Reagan
