yeah. the story is great and hits you right in the gut a few times and toys with your wants stuff. there are alot of the times the game unapologeticly shows you as a piece of poo poo, hell there is a whole series of missions that do that. hell alot of the story chapters are weird repeating story lines because "dutch always has a plan" and poo poo keeps degrading. id talk more but i don't want to spoil stuff. anyway on mcintosh, he wants violence to be a full fail state for the game. like full on fail state, but he never says it because he is a coward.

As mentioned in the replies, all of these vids are by the same person. I guess it just started out as killing NPC's that particularly stand out. Speaking of which, what did all of you do to Herbert Moon in RDR1? I think he might have been how I got my Dastardly achievement. Hoo-boy, he spent so much time being dragged along the ground. EDIT: OH GOD I JUST FOUND OUT HE'S IN RDR 2. I MUST BUY THIS GAME NOW Kim Justice fucked around with this message at 03:14 on Nov 8, 2018 |

stillvisions posted:With most games the devil is in the details. Papers Please sounds like a McIntosh game pitch on the surface (minus the part where he probably wouldn't abide you being a part of the problem to prove a point) but the execution makes it work. I knew a guy who used to go on endlessly about wanting to make a video game about "teaching why war is bad and brings suffering and misery" and when asked how this would sell his answer was "we'd make it fun", like that was the secret to make this work and didn't have to justify it with an actual mechanic. If you're going to be smug and write game pitches like that, don't expect anyone to believe you. I think he's mentioned Papers, Please positively in the past--he's not nearly clueless enough to entirely miss that game's point. And for sure, there are plenty of games out there that sound like something he'd pitch and are really good. It's just that he has a tendency to assume that "all you'd have to do" is reconsider your entire AAA game to be about a doctor and design engaging gameplay systems around frontier medicine and boom, you've fixed it. And I don't doubt that it's entirely possible to make a great game like that, but he has a way of assuming the whole industry can (and should) just do a total about-face all at once in that image. Pyre is another game that probably sounds nuts on paper--it's a game about escaping exile and enacting a political revolution through non-violent magic sports. Oddly I don't think McIntosh has played it: someone suggested it to him and it appears that he assumed it had combat in it and wasn't interested. Somehow he missed that it's a (magical) sports game with no combat at all.

You can go on rampages and it doesn't matter, just load your game and play nice and it's as if you're not a serial murderer."

Augus posted:undertale is a great anti-violence game but mcintosh would probably hate it because part of how it makes its point is by letting you make the wrong decision Undertale is interesting because it's very much a videogame about videogames. Pacifism only makes sense in context of the acknowledged immortality of the player character. I'd say it's like most children's entertainment (this isn't a bad thing) in that it's more about communicating individual values than a comprehensive, coherent worldview. That said MacIntosh's problem isn't that he hasn't found the right game but that in addition to confusing anime appraisal with activism he's incapable of analyzing anything more complicated than My Little Pony.

Yeah, it got really weird when we had the whole wave of "actually Undertale is bad because it doesn't present a viable solution for the annexation of Crimea" and it's like, yeah, I know, it's a pretty personal-scale emotional experience and not really a guide to universal ethics.

McIntosh's undeserved certainty is just annoying. Like with RDR 2, he's just wrong conceptually about the bounty system and didn't listen to the commenter. The wanted state is similar to GTA, but the bounty system is meant to be annoying by design as a form of punishment. The execution of it isn't perfect, since the bounty system is kind of janky, but by design it's not really exciting or rewarding. The game is actively pushing back against some of the usual GTA mayhem.

Well his golden standard is Steven universe, so yeah. On undertale, I have tried getting into it but it’s honestly just kinda boring to me. I am sure it’s a great game but I can’t get into sprint stuff. Parakeet vs. Phone posted:McIntosh's undeserved certainty is just annoying.

SR3 kind of hit the perfect ratio of jokey parody game to serious GTA clone that Volition never captured again before or after. I have to disagree, 4's emphasis on your relationships with the rest of the crew gave it more heart than 3, which at its worst tended towards a sort of heartless South Park snark.

I own a physical copy of RAMA, but I couldn't for the life of me tell you how it came into my possession. I can only presume some kind of unholy lineage where the previous owner died.

At least 4 did something legit neat with the missions dealing with old SR2 Shaundi existing alongside SR3 Shaundi. Same thing with Gat - SR3 killed him off, offscreen, in the first mission; and nothing interesting is done with that until SR4 where it explores the Boss’s relationship with him SR2 unambiguously has the best overall plot tho dmboogie fucked around with this message at 07:17 on Nov 8, 2018 |

2>4>3>Gat>1 I think the missions in 4 explaining why Shaundi's character changed drastically were really good and fully justified the change in 3, which I didn't find so bad at the time since Kinzie was a much better sidekick.

I'm always surprised that there's a lot less love for Gat Out Of Hell. IV is my favorite (I never played 2 so that may have something to do with it) but I like playing Gat a little more since it has full flight and I kinda prefer playing as Kinzie over The Boss since my Boss always ends up looking weird, and not in a funny way. I'm not good at character creation.

Saints Row 3 is a very disjointed game that feels as chopped up as it was because apparently THQ was a nightmare. Who's the best choice of voice actor to play a retired luchador? Hulk Hogan of course!

The Saints as a team of undercover cops infiltrating and taking down a much more dangerous gang with their typical madcap antics would have been a great way to continue the series more than... whatever AoM turned out to be before it faceplanted into obscurity.

I honestly don't know how they expected Agents of Mayhem to succeed when anyone who finishes the tutorial would realize they'd just experienced the entire depth and breadth of gameplay it could offer.
