you literally keep hammering this point like a Hammer Bros. running a train on King Koopa in my favorite slashfics even though myself and several others have continually pointed out that not only are these nowhere near mutually exclusive, but also a lot of art through history is also similarly dumb as hell

he keeps talking about how video games aren't art but is too cowardly to even mention one thing that he thinks is real art

Uh... Kupo?

I think that Final Fantasy games are a good showing of video games as art. Within each one (especially modern ones) there's a stupid amount of graphics/music work, world building, etc. There's voice performances, cinematography, all that junk. It definitely tries to elevate itself beyond the video game itself and usually doesn't try to make the game itself its main focus. Plus they keep on pretending each game will be huge, wildly successful, multimedia franchises.

Whether or not it's good art, though. Hoo boy.

My bad opinion: FPS shooters should treat reloading more seriously. Don't put the rounds left in the clip in the overall pool, make them vanish. Give me a reason not to push the reload-button after every gunfight.

I can only assume (and hope) Arma does this.

Insurgency is good on that. When you reload, it doesn't consolidate all your bullets, just switches out your magazine, so if you're not careful, you'll end up just cycling between 3 half empty ones. Makes you put some thought into when you reload and when yiu should just dump your mag.

Learning that Morrowind was basically written and directed by complex corporate maneuvering to keep Todd from making any decisions was eye opening

Is there a source on this because it sounds hilarious

Similarly, sunset overdrive had some amazing movement stuff going on in it

It’s a shame this didn’t sell better. Sunset Overdrive just clicked with me and it’s one of the most fun games I’ve ever played. I’m holding out hope Sony lets them do a sequel unless Microsoft holds the rights.

I am super excited for HL3VR and I can't belive anyone would be down on it. VR is really loving cool, and anything that advances the platform is a bonus.

What else were they going to do? Create a story driven single player sequel again? The market completely moved on and they were smart to hold off.

Was Half-Life 2 the beginning of the games where you have a big-eyed daughterwife staring at you for at least half the game in between having to be protected from vaguely to explicitly sexualised violence?

pretty sure your wires are crossed somewhere if you think any npc in HL2 merits a description deeper than “they exist, I guess” on any conceivable level

I always liked how there was 4-6 must have mods for a game and if you only used them you would think very highly of modding, till one day you click that more button.

My unpopular opinion. I like my Stadia. I skipped the current gen consoles ( and got it to fill in the gap. Games look great, frame rate is steady and I have no complaints. I can't rub my hog on the game boxes, but that hasn't been an issue yet.

How about instead of getting a google stadia people just get a half decent laptop which is much better imo

or i dunno, accept that a stadias number 1 use is for playing video games in a hotel while travelling which is probably the one time you should put down the video game machine and go the gently caress outside

No but seriously, buy a laptop (edit: or a switch)

I used to love my switch but I fell off it pretty hard for some reason. Now I only use it when I’m working night shifts. Getting an actual gaming laptop probably was the tipping point, the switch being portable doesn’t matter as much to me now since I can play all sorts of games on a not-potato powered machine.

I can't imagine travelling for work and staying cooped up in a hotel room playing computer video games on my free time instead of going out and seeing the exotic sights of uhh Tikkurila (which seems to consist entirely of very small shopping malls and Chinese restaurants) and Espoo (which is made of ES and poo.)

Yeah a small Finnish city probably isn't very exciting but going for an evening walk sounds more fun than playing a laggy version of Mortal Kombat on a smartphone

Yeah, when I travel for work I’m not going anywhere that anyone would ever want to go to of their own free will. I’m talking towns of 2000 people, or dead upstate NY former industry towns. If I’m staying in a motel for a week I’m going to be playing some drat video games.
