Ugh. I think the worst part is I agree with him. Games rely on violence and explosions to sell, and almost all of them being shown off at E3 do. I don't think a single game Bethesda showed didn't let you either shoot a gun or swing a sword as your primary means of interacting with the world. Part of the reason the most exciting games for me from this E3 are Unravel 2, Ori 2 and the Don'tNod game I can't remember the name of, because between all the bullets and pulse pounding action are games that games that try to engage with players in other, less conflict driven ways. But I also want Cyberpunk 2077 and Devil May Cry 5 and Doom 2, cause gently caress yeah pulse pounding action is exactly what I want sometimes, and no other medium delivers on action like games do. Does having so much violence and corrupt morality in games negatively influence people? Yes. But do you really need to self-martyr yourself to get that point across? Are you getting that point across when you preach like that? Like, is twitter a platform of communication or public flogging for you? Solitair posted:Yeah, I like both of the Big Bang Theory videos he did, but now that I know who made them I wish I didn't. Meh, even if he's being a dickhead on twitter his Big Bang videos are good and make good points and trash a trash show so I still like them. Just cause he's wrong about presenting a case against the evils of video games doesn't mean he's wrong about bad comedy TV. SatansBestBuddy fucked around with this message at 07:35 on Jun 11, 2018 |

There definitely needs to be people taking the video game industry/culture to task for it's failings (seriously, with how hard Microsoft was hammering the GAMERS AS AN IDENTITY button Peter Coffin must have been foaming at the mouth), Macintosh isn't one of those people. So maybe we can move on instead of reiterating how much of an idiot he is.

I mean, it's Bethesda, so what'll probably happen is that they'll overpromise and underdeliver and the nukes will also turn off gravity in the world when they land if they work at all. Also the next From Software game got revealed and it's Dark Souls in Japan, published by Activison. I look forward to the terrible, terrible takes from content creators. PS I'm mad as gently caress we haven't gotten an Armored Core 6 announcement Miyazaki pls.

What I took from the trailer was you have a VERY rare chance to find a piece of a code to a single specific nuke site. It's not so much "I got a nuke token, gonna spend it killing a player-city, lol", as "We spent ages to finally get all X pieces for one code for the launch site on the far side of the map. Should we consider trying to go there without getting player-killed along the way?"

McIntosh is right about Fallout 76's nukes being messed up, but the problems kind of started with Fallout 3 going away from the original's harsh criticism of Pre-War society. "Oh yeah now that you survived the nukes here's the chance to nuke other people as a gameplay feature" is the cherry on top from well, https://twitter.com/Campster/status/1006018390631297027 Also as for Cyberpunk 2077, well... https://twitter.com/GreatDismal/status/1005958197654351872

Well, yeah. It’s based on a tabletop game from the 80s so of course it’s going to look like an 80s retro-future, and of course elements of the genre that were once new are going to seem generic after all this time. The real question is whether they’ll be able to take this stock setting and tell an interesting story in it, and CDPR have an excellent track record in that regard. KayTee posted:Noel's House Party was the poo poo. (For very young me, anyway.) Now there’s a blast from the past. I ended up watching a lot of Noel’s House Party, but it wasn’t the sort of thing I would intentionally seek out. It’s more that there was nothing else on, and it aired right before that Superman show on the same channel so it was a fun way of killing time. Looking back on it, Blobby seems to have been a primordial example of the sort of thing that would end up going viral on the internet. It was stupid, but in an ironic way where the stupidity was the point of the joke. Also, Blobby seems to have had his share of unironic fans as well. One time, (and I swear I’m not making this up) a kid in my primary school class drew several pages of Mr. Blobby fanart for a class assignment. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Yeah, long drawn out poo poo or weirdly hosed up mean poo poo always feels worse. In new doom, all the Uber violent kill moves are quick and sorta “utilitarian”. Kill daemon and make sure it’s super dead. Same with wolfenstein TNC. They are gory but they arnt 5 minuets long overly brutal like god of war 3.

This was exactly the kind of thing I was thinking of too, DOOM kills are like -A swift kick in the kidney and then a crunchy punch in the neck -Open palm grab one side of the head and push into a head popping punch -Land on a guy and stomp their head down in one swoop -Punch this floaty cyclopic demon through his eye While God of War and similar get grossly masturbatory about watching every sinew in this gurgling for mercy character's neck tear while you wrench their head off oh god yes you can see their esophagus spill out and dangle mmm almost there.

Given how badly they botched 4, V, and VD, I do not trust them with a new game. fA was passable at least. What I'd really like to see is them do an HD remaster of 2 through Last Raven, maybe even throw in a remaster of the PS2 version of Formula Front that we never got for funsies. Or an AC1/PP/MoA remake. Something where they go back to Kawamori running mech design and ditch whoever has been on that squad for the last few years.

This is true, the new one reminded me of Watch_Dogs with better art direction and more over the top. The original had a great song and a more out there aesthetic, and I really wanted to know who the killer lady was. ^ how much of 4 being botched was because of Sega being garbage at localization though? I’d kill for a remaster of all the old ones though, preferably with non-poo poo controls.

I also like seeing something cyberpunk showing off actual daylight for once.
