I mean, sure there was a lot of that in the cartoons, but Mario went all the way to the n64 before uttering a single word in the games. And even then most of his words were "woohoo!" He was never given enough character to be racist. If it wasn't pop knowledge he was Italian you'd never know.

Is this serious or a joke? Because depending on how old the Mario Kart game, I could see translation + culture gap leading to a very unfortunate line.

food court bailiff posted:again, I see the words “horseback combat” being bandied about as praise, which is weird to me as a person who has played several video games with horses in them Ooof, yeah. Can't say I've ever enjoyed horse combat all that much, despite experiencing it in several different games. It's super awkward generally, especially if it's with melee weapons the big struggle is just getting close enough to hit a guy. Horses just don't control that great compared to moving a character on the ground William Henry Hairytaint posted:Paragliding and pulling myself along with the grapple in Just Cause 2 was some of the most fun swingy gameplay I've ever experienced. I never played the later games cuz I heard they weren't as good so I dunno if it stayed good, but in 2 it was a blast. Just Cause 4 was the jankiest, most broke, most unfinished game ever and it was still absurdly fun. All kinds of different grapples and physics effects, everything being breakable and moveable. You could fire all these different grapples which would do different, crazy things. Look online and you can find some of the crazy poo poo people get up to with that physics system. Plus you could paraglide around the map and just grapple constantly and never hit the ground if you don't want to, it was just a wild experience but nothing close to what a full game should be still

Games look too much like soap operas when they run at 60 fps. All games should be locked at 30 fps--or even better, at 24.

I play all my games simply with a PC hooked up to a TV. Certain games get really awful tearing, especially when zoomed in on certain graphical elements but for the most part I have no idea what framerate my games are running at and honestly I don't give a gently caress because they seem fine just out of curiosity though what do you mean that they look like soap operas?

It tended to make a kind of blurry, overly-smooth video.

You can absolutely see a difference between 30, 60, and 120 fps. Until recently I didn’t care much about frame rate but when I switched to a gaming PC that could hit a stable 120, oh my. That said, I’m good with 30 as long as it’s a stable 30. Links Awakening on the switch keeps going between 60 and 30 and it’s awful. Plus when you play it in handheld mode it’s got this weird SCUBA goggle effect going on.

They should lock down the frame rate to 24 fps in online shooter games to provide a more cinematic feel and so no one has an unfair advantage.

I think that video games should be far, far less conservative with nudity. At the same time, video games should really stop trying to allow the player to romance characters. Just have NPCs gently caress each other as the story progresses instead of having the player spam gifts to increase relationship points while making sure to capture all the lovely romantic dialogue. Making nudity/sexuality be a part of the “payoff” of romance in games that otherwise function off of number values is loving weird man. The Mass Effect 2 red headed secretary that would dance in your room if you did certain conditions was a loving WEIRD addition, man.

The Mass Effect 2 red headed secretary that would dance in your room if you did certain conditions was a loving WEIRD addition, man. That's what soured me on Dragon Age. Bioware is just so bad at this. I played the complete edition and was enjoying the hk-47 golem banter when I noticed some tacky bauble in my inventory. So I gave that thing to the edgy emo lady I didn't care about and from then on other characters in my party commented how they were happy about my relationship with the cleavage demon. I mean…you wot? Romance in games is always so weirdly transactional. They are barely above Stardew Valley's system of stuffing berries into everyone's faces all day or gifting them flowers from their own front garden. And ubiquity of "put gift in slot; receive sex" makes me want to scrub myself in the shower. PoE2 is about the only game that made it bearable. There are sufficiently many different reputation stats that characters align reasonably well, I don't think they put any rewards into it, and it feels like the writers tried to avoid the cringy game romance tropes as much as possible. Also, Xoti and Eder are perfect for each other and going between them is wrong.

The most authentic romance gaming mechanic is probably The Darkness because it consists of showing up late to your girlfriends apartment and her falling asleep on you and then forces you to choose whether or not to get up or let her keep sleeping on you while you are stuck watching a movie she chose because the remote is somewhere else.

There's a really brief but authentic and touching romance in Mass Effect 3 where one of your crew gets sad because his husband on Earth dies, and there's a great scene you overhear where they say goodbye After which of course Shepard can fix him with his dick because Bioware
