The last of us would've been better narratively if Ellie was allowed to sacrifice herself at the end

Not really an opinion but I'd really enjoy it I'd there was a way to just explore 3d mmo/rpg game worlds. Especially old mmos like eq1 that had like ten expansions. Just let me turn off npc aggro and run around all the areas and check it out

Alternatively you could just google GTA v stocks assassinations and make a fuckton of money out of 30 second of trading instead of whining about it

RE5 uses RE4's control scheme. RE4 was released in 2004. Stop saying things that aren't true.


I can be incredibly accurate with my movement and aiming in RE5. I don't see anything wrong the controls.

The re4 control setup is literally the re1-3 controls only the camera is different and when you aim you have a stick, I think is what they mean

Yes, it turns out when the camera is always facing the same direction that your character is, "press forward to move in the direction your character is facing" makes a lot more sense, you miserable pedant

:rolleyes:

Twelve batmans said that it wasn't true that it was a control scheme from the 90s. All I was saying was that it was. Don't blow your stack over it

Just saw that Vampire The Masquerade - Coteries of New York has been released on Steam. As Bloodlines is probably my favourite RPG ever I decided to give it a shot. So far it's just a typical chose your own adventure/visual novel, but it seems cool.
You get to pick between a Ventrue, Brujah and Toreador fledgling who much like in Bloodlines gets screwed over by the local Prince. This time in New York.
This is a cheap game but the visuals are nice and the writings decent so far. The ambient soundtrack is also very much Bloodlines. I'd say this is deffo worth a look if you don't mind the format.

Found a trailer.

but does it have numerous broken gameplay options and crash all the time to really give it that bloodlines feel

so if I just got one, hooked it up to the computer, it would start working in games? It's interesting that there aren't controllers specifically made for PC that are half controllers. It's such a good idea because I could have the mouse on a hard mousepad I have to the right then just hold the half controller in my left hand and I think it would be pretty good

i have no idea as ive never tried, but i assume its not just plug and play and youd have to install some extra driver software for it to work

I am already maximally alienated from the character though. It's a lovely cover shooter and I'm playing Douchy McWarcrime on his way to be pardoned by his country. Without any free will nothing matters, because every action is already preordained.

Undertale gives you free will. And that's why Undertale is an infinitely better game.

was being pardoned an alternate ending or am i just forgetting? what i remember was that my entire squad ended up dead and the player character commits suicide

The modern military shooter genre typically has you commit a smorgasbord of horrific war crimes and then celebrates you for it, in a no doubt unintentional display of realism.

I'm genuinely confused what your problem is. I don't identify with the protagonists of modern military shooters and went into the game with a distaste for them, which you quoted. Perhaps it would do you well to read the entire exchange instead of sniping from the sidelines?

Well to make it clear my original post was genuinely asking whether getting pardoned was an alternate ending, because once I found out the game doesn't actually force you to kill all the civilians I assumed that there would have to be multiple endings

That said the snark in your response to my question indicated to me that you may not have played it at all and pretending you weren't talking about that particular game when as the quote shows you clearly were... I'm not sure what you expected, but you could've just answered plainly and avoided this

It's the only part of the game that forces you to do that, and it's because if you could avoid it then that would be entirely negating the point that war inevitably kills massive amounts of innocent people.

What would be the point of a game about the cost of war if you could avoid the cost?

hmmm i coulda sworn i saw someone here on the forums say that you didnt actually have to do it, but if im wrong then my bad

cover shooters arent great in 2020 but as far as trolls go, "you like it because you havent played an fps" is pretty old and tired

full disclosure ive been replaying it yesterday and today because of this convo and its decent. fun enough for the 6hr gameplay time anyways. i was in fact wrong as far as i can tell about being able to avoid lighting up the civilians with wp, i couldnt get off the balcony and the enemies infinitely respawn if you shoot them instead of using the mortar. the choice to kill the cia guy or not is pretty blatant, but the one to shoot the crowd after your teammate dies isnt as much. had i not been aware of it from this thread i probably wouldnt have thought to shoot up in the air since your remaining teammate is goading you into shooting them
