Wow, gently caress peace walker round 2. Shot at that thing for 30 minutes until I ran out of ammo, then died.

I don't understand, I'm shooting it in its weakest points.
You probably need to research more powerful weapons.

Peace Walker runs more on RPG logic I guess than classic Metal Gear logic.

Of the recent Scotts that I've seen The Martian is the only one that really bothered me. It's just so visually bland looking, despite being set on fuckin' Mars.

How do you make Mars look so boring?

I keep thinking of getting Yooka-Laylee but of the Rare platformers of the old days Banjo-Kazooie is the only I really liked in retrospect. Tooie and DK64 just seemed like they had too much of everything, and I'm not sure I want to put up with that again.

It's alright.

Like GoT is flawed but I liked it more than Batman, Michonne, and maybe Walking Dead Season 3.

Batman and WD:S3 are way way better than GoT.
I'm torn on WD:S3 because while I think the stuff with Javier and his brother is pretty good, the actual New Frontier is completely terrible and the way Clementine is integrated into the game is kind of dumb.

What's weird in season 3 is that they try to transfer the player's attachment to Clementine onto Javier, so you get these weird decisions that boil down to Javier asking himself "Do I help my family I've been through thick and thin with, or do I help this random 11 year old I just met"?

They still do it in Clementine's flashbacks in Season 3, even though Jane/Kenny has already been revealed to be dead in the very first one. So... no, it won't matter that they remember I said a thing, they are deceased.
Well maybe it's because I got the Wellington ending in Season 2, but as far as I know Kenny is still alive in my season 3 since there was never any flashback with him for me.

There's a character in Persona 5 who's a hardcore gamer, and he wears the "GET SMOKED" cap.

Part of his questline involves beating up quite possibly the most immoral character in the entire game- a guy that cheats at video games. You can't even damage him the first time you fight him because he's loving cheating at the fight lmao.

Kirby's Dream Land 2 was actually the first video game I ever owned. Sadly, I lost my physical copy many years ago.

Got it again on a whim from the 3DS shop a year or so ago. I should go back to it at some point.

I never could really get into Miyazaki or Ghibli in general. Something about their style just seems offputting to me most of the time.

I came here to talk about anime and video games and movies because despite all of SA's problems it's still a better place than most of the rest of the internet to discuss those things.

I used to be a part of a film subreddit that restored an old silent film by Frank Borzage that wasn't easily available to the public.

It turned out to not only be racist propaganda about how evil Asians are, and not only had information been freely available this whole time that people running the restoration just didn't even bother to Google, but the drat movie itself had already been uploaded online for several years by someone else.

Did you not play Ico or SotC? I haven't played TLG myself yet but neither of those games had good controls either. Ico in particular had some real dumb jumps you had to make at times.

I remember reading like a third of this terrible book called something like Why Video Games Matter and the author at no point actually made anything resembling an argument about why video games matter. I skipped ahead a bit and there was a weird rant about Demon's Souls toward the end.

The author later helped Greg Sestero write The Disaster Artist though so he at least made up for it.

Chinatown was already a largely metafictional film too but its really hard not to see Polanski within John Huston's character (Himself already a famous film director from the classic Hollywood era).
