I love the time requirement for losing your newbie status in FF XIV, it's very MMOs.txt

You can also just manually remove it with a command, but I forget what it was because I haven't played FFXIV in a while.

The kills in the Friday the 13th game are appropriately brutal but I like the little touches that make them just feel mean. Like Jason takes you out and then for no reason steps off your face while walking off or gives you a shove to get off his weapon as if you are just a nuisance in his way.

Also, I like that Mark can jump a little higher than the other characters, it helps you get through the cave.

I'm just starting into Nier: Automata but my favorite thing is that 2B is voiced by the same VA who played the girl in those ludicrous Trapped flash games that Slowbeef made fun of a long time ago.

Tales from the borderlands is my favorite thing telltale has done, and I've played all of their episodic series, save for the Minecraft ones.
Like you I'm not a fan of the original games either, their writers did an excellent job with the source material.

Episode 4 is extremely good in ways I did not expect.

Coming off of Borderlands 2, that game was really a lot better than I was expecting.

It just proves how bad the writing in the main Borderlands series is, because they took that same setting and made it good.

He basically ripped off Powerman 5000's "When Worlds Collide" for the Sephirot's boss theme. Same style of singing, same melody, smiliar lyrics.

Still sounds good, though. Shame FFIV is dogshit to play.

Gosh, I'm shocked that one of the obsessive anti-anime weirdos misrepresented something.

Wolf among us was really good,even my mum who's only ever played one game in her life enjoyed watching it.Walking dead was good and I enjoyed it but apparently this finale sucks and they've glossed over any choices you've made? :[

I played one episode of the Batman Telltale and it was dogshit,just like no effort put into any presentation which really is a no no for me.

Content : I was playing dishonoured and during the end of the game when a certain place you call home gets raided I snuck upto my room and saw a guard pissing on my bed,i have no idea whether it was intentional or just a weird idle quirk or what but that fucker is getting turned into a crossbow porcupine.

Dishonored is full of little things like that. The world can be pretty bleak, but they try to breathe some life into it.

The difficulty of the minigames increases as the game progresses and leveling up your hacking skill makes the difficulty level of the minigames lower, so if you put points in it as you then the difficulty stays more or less constant throughout the game. But if you want to skip it entirely you have to invest in a completely separate skill, Sabotage, to do so.

It's extremely worth it, because you don't have to get much sabotage to be able to carry around a massive number of EMPs - you can carry stacks of them in almost every slot, and later gear has tons of item slots. You don't have to put many points into sabotage to be walking around with 20 or 30 "skip minigame" buttons.

I'm playing the current Diablo 3 season where they introduced the Necromancer, and I love the feeling when you finally get that set gear bump and you go from getting by to like four torment levels up and completely obliterate everything in your path. This waller enchanted boss monster puts a wall around me and i'm like "You got this twisted I'm not locked in here with you. YOU'RE LOCKED IN HERE WITH ME!"

Now picture this from the outside: a man yelling this at his computer screen while clicking furiously.

Arkham Knight was 15 dollars and I heard they finally fixed the PC version, so I got it.

The first time I parked the Batmobile at the police station, when I came out 3 or 4 cops were standing around it talking about how cool it is before they notice Batman and get embarrased. "Oops, he's back!"

I also got into a fight where Catwoman was helping me and you can do some sick combo moves when you have a helper.

Pretty fun game so far.

Hope you like the Batmobile as much as they did!

Alchemy was so intensely tedious to break that you were better off just editing your stats in the console.

Bioshock was entirely about objectivist individualism falling apart in the face of transhumanism and then Bioshock 2 goes "oh yeah and uh there was a collectivist who was there the entire time and she was totally evil too and now she wants to use psychology and child murder to make everyone equal", it was just handled really poorly on almost every level. If nothing else it should make you appreciate Infinite choosing to focus on being a meta-commentary about Bioshock sequels and deconstructing the idea of constants and variables.

Also it's about how racism and wage slavery are equally as bad as rebelling against those things.

The stereotypical hillbilly accent, which is what the moles do, overlaps with old stereotypes about how southern black people talk. Also I think people get it confused with the moles from Redwall.

Adding on to the Pyre love, although in a far less meaningful way.

One of the characters, The Stowaway, doesn't have a set name. Instead, you get to "guess" it, from a selection. Her name is said to rhyme with Grey, and so all the names end with "ae", with each name having a tool-tip that makes some sort of comment. Most of them just kinda go "That sure is a name" but the last one just says "That can't be right, can it?"

The name in question?

Bae

If you don't pick it, you're insane.
