So what's the situation with Patrick going to the CAH office? Are they located in Chicago as well? Is he just going to be working out of there from now on, or is it just a quick visit?

Sushi in Yiddish posted:My buddies trying it say that it feels more like a co-op Skyrim than a MMO but c'mon, in our fiscal year of Luigi you can't do that poo poo anymore. Hope they have a insane lifetime subscription you can buy (only before the game is out of Beta)! I was in the last beta and I can confirm that it felt like a pretty rinky-dink co-op Elder Scrolls rather than a traditional MMO. What really struck me as bizarre, though, was the lack of instancing -- from the get-go you're going through the same rigamarole as every Elder Scrolls game, breaking out of prison and having a dying mentor tell you that you're the chosen one, etc, but you've got fifty other people in the same room as you experiencing the exact same story beats. Playing that first time, it felt like I was part of a graduating class that my NPC guide was addressing. Every modern MMORPG from LOTRO on has realized how oddly distancing that kind of storytelling is, so it's quaintly funny to see ovaries fucked around with this message at 18:38 on Jan 10, 2014 |

Sock The Great posted:Isn't SimCity structured around depending on other, nearby, cities though? Are offline folks just supposed to build more satellite cities to support their main? Yeah, but playing solo has always been the most reliable way to play the game. If you try to play it with friends then you run the inevitable risk of someone getting bored and abandoning their cit(y/ies) before your region's great work can be completed -- and that will happen, because the game is too terrible to sustain the interests of more than one sane person for more than a couple of days.

Defending Platinum on this one seems odd. Not telling the player about the lock-on function is an oversight, likely not a deliberate one, and is only problematic until people inevitably find out about it when they first start reading about the game in depth. It's okay to acknowledge these things and still enjoy the game!

Rinkles posted:My main concern is the cast no longer having it in them to pull off the characters and carry the entire movie. Hamill seems motivated enough but a wiser older Luke may be beyond his range; I don't know enough about Fisher to speculate; and the last time Harrison Ford actually gave a poo poo about a role he had was probably decades ago. Let's just say you shouldn't expect any of them to be moving around all that much. I don't think there's any way they'll actually end up being the central focus of a sci-fi action film.

Hashy posted:Is this going to be the new "looks like a flash game" as everyone learns to recognize the tells? What I love is that it conveys absolutely nothing. Like, I can identify without fail whether a game was made in Unreal engine. So? What obviously matters is what a developer has done with it. Jazzpunk looks unique as all get out, engine notwithstanding.

So after the Game Room talk yesterday I've been watching the entire run in one go. It's been equal parts entertaining and enlightening so far, but the most astounding thing I've learned from it is that they were still pumping out 2600 and Intellivision games well into the late '80s, years after the NES was released. By that point everyone knew what a real video game could be and yet these American hardware makers were still hanging onto dear life with their ancient garbage systems. That's crazy!

I can't think of a time when I've blamed a multiplayer shooter's perceived poor or unbalanced mechanics for my inability to play it well. I guess it's because I'm not particularly good at them and place no expectations on my own performance when I play them, nor do I really have any idea what makes for decent weapon balance anyhow. When I play a game like COD or BF4 I'm just not terribly concerned about my kill/death/ratio so much as I am unwinding, so it's hard to get worked up if I die to some gimmicky game mechanic. I've gotten killed by a few people using the smart pistol in Titanfall, but I chalked that up to standing in one place too long. I've had a blast with the game so far and it's the most fun I've had with a multiplayer shooter since COD4.

crowfeathers posted:Personally I'm just sick of the trolls showing up in this thread, making GBS threads all over what is shaping up to be one of the most exciting multiplayer FPS releases in years. I think you'll find that, underneath the "ironic" trolling most people are positive, or at least neutral, about Titanfall. crowe the only shooters I've ever seen you talk about are Cabela's hunting sims and budget eastern European trash like Exodus from the Earth. We both know you don't care one way or the other about Titanfall so it's weird seeing you poo poo up a thread you've never posted in before with a bunch of metaironic troll posts sarcastically defending it

404notfound posted:Admittedly, I haven't played the game all the way through since release, but I never got the impression that Rockstar was trying to make a sort of meta-commentary on how the hypocrisy justifies the ludonarrative dissonance (just saying that term makes me feel douchey, but this is pretty much the definition of it). It felt more like they were earnestly going for "tragic character caught up in a bad situation," which just falls flat. Maybe I should play it again and get a second read on it, though even after building a new computer late last year, I'm still not sure if I want to roll the dice with the PC version. Having played through it recently I can confirm that it's not a factor in the story at all. The cutscenes play almost completely parallel to the actual events that unfold through gameplay, one never really remarking upon the other. It would have been truly something had Rockstar realized that would be a great narrative road to go down (didn't Sleeping Dogs attempt that? I didn't play it), but unfortunately Dan Houser is a terrible writer and the idea likely never even occurred to him. Only slightly related, but here's a fun drinking game: Next time you play a Rockstar game, drink every time a character makes a joke and then goes on to explain the punchline.

Mutation posted:Can't Steam or Origins implement some sort of system where I can choose to compress the audio (or not download alternate languages) or textures or whatever is hogging up all that space? Steam's solution is pretty inelegant -- Skyrim and Lost Planet 3 have free opt-in hi-res texture pack DLC, but once you've tied them to your account, there's no way to download the games without the texture packs from that point on. When I tried to play The Witcher with Polish audio, I had to go into the game's properties in my Steam library and change my preferred language to Polish at which point those additional audio files automatically began downloading. It would be nice to see something like that get implemented across the board.

Somewhat relevant to all of the wrestling talk that's been going on recently: Pro Wrestling X is back on Kickstarter after their first one failed a couple of years ago, this time with a very modest goal of $6000 for polishing. It's looking great these days, and Steam desperately needs a game like this in their catalogue.
