the remaster looks pretty good. previews came out today all over the place. i think its more rdr2 is alot less forgiving of you loving around both thematically and mechanically. i mean you can but they game isn't afraid to penalize you for it.

Bakeneko posted:As annoying as the linearity can be sometimes, I think it's necessary in order to tell the kind of story RDR2 is trying to tell. It's meant to be a tragedy; a tale of a group of people doomed by their own chronic inability to learn from their mistakes and move on. And so bad stuff often happens, and the characters do stupid things, and it all has to happen like that because otherwise it wouldn't make sense. exactly. its the downfall of a cult and your on the inside and starting to realize, "poo poo maybe dutch was always full of poo poo".

Macaluso posted:I can see where that might come from, I generally prefer linear games and experiences too. But the way the tweet thread described what he did, I don't understand how Rockstar didn't have like a backup cutscene or something for that, because it sounds like there was nothing stopping him from doing it. You can even be lazy in the sense that even if you go through the window, entering the room at all would trigger the cutscene where you come through the door anyway. Plenty of games do that kind of thing. But the way it's handled here is like the worst way they could've gone about it i like a mix of both and if the games story/themes "fit" the mission structure. but yeah, i like when games allow your and than reward you for being creative. i get what RDR2 is doing because its doing its slow burn HBO scene and every shot has to work perfectly but its still disappointing.

wtf gently caress is this poo poo. wasteland 3 from what i have heard is loving fantastic because their isnt really a "golden moral path" like even moraly complex games like new vegas has a couple "these are good endings" if you work hard enough. i like games that make you make hard/interesting choices. Arcsquad12 posted:While New Vegas remains one of my favourite games of all time I do like how games have started to move away from both the binary choice system and the "third option is best" system. Witcher, for example, uses what initially appears to be a binary choice system, but deviates from the good/bad dichotomy by making both options have a degree of failure to them. That's not to say that there aren't choices in Witcher that are obviously good and bad, because there are those choices. The distinction comes with the nuances of how binary choices in Witcher are set up. Its not always a good and bad decision, often it is a choice made based on personal context where you don't know all the information and you have to make a judgment call based on what you know now. NV choices always defaulted to 1. what helped the most people and 2. what hosed the legion the most. my best endings were a very cleaned up NCR run NV or a yes man run new vegas with a tenious peace with the NCR but also cleaned up. with witcher, i always made geralt loyal to his friends and try to get the most complete picture of a situation before he did anything. i assume i am gonna do the same with CP2077 starting as corpo and loving over the corpos.

It sucks, since while I think the premise was starting to wear a little thin they could have really used one more season and they definitely had it in them. yeah HQ is very much venture bros light. not a bad show by any means and honestly alot better than i thought it would be but venture bros does it better because its mostly original characters/IP. Antifa Turkeesian posted:It was one of the best and most consistent shows on television, just a lovingly crafted little gem that its creators poured all their energy and talent into. yeah. its show that mixed weird cynical humor with some good and wholesome moments and messaging. alot of the good animated shows do that now. i still love that it started off as a funny johnny bravo parody and than just turned into this really interesting world and character moments. it sorta like rick and morty in that respect but i still dont think rick and morty has found its pacing/tone fully yet as much as i like it.

Anecdotal info, I know, but I heard Lilo was just going to college or hsd a kid of her own at that point and sent Stitch over to Japan to visit relatives because honestly, it's the weird strong little blue alien freak that we're really here for. I don't remember there being any bad blood there. i mean yeah in thats the "watsonian" reason but irl, they took lilo in the japanese show because she wasn't the right color apparently and replaced her with a japanese girl or something. IronicDongz posted:It's not like in the japanese show they actually call her a brat or anything but the reason she's written out of it is that lilo was really unpopular with japanese audiences. the brat thing was from some moron on tumblr/twitter.

And after that will they have to crunch to get the DLC out? I sure wouldn't bet against that. true but the games been delayed like 3 times now. i get why they want to push it out the door and than get a patch for day one/consoles. next gen full version comes mid next year probably. and my guess is they have been working on the dlc since last year. crunch blows and shouldnt happen but i am not shocked sadly, my guess it they will get a long rear end break after the 19th.

Nuns with Guns posted:In addition to Draco's characterization in the books themselves playing into his "troubled boy with rough edges you could sand down with love" for tweens the same age as him, Cassandra Cain's Draco fanfics did do a lot to rehabilitate the character to a ton of readers, even if the fanfics themselves kind of imploded in the drama when the plagiarism was discovered. probably. thinking back on the books now(havent read them in decades) draco is just the rotten shithead rich kid with the poo poo head nazi dad who desperately wants to be like daddy so he buys into daddys insane race bullshit that he screams at home and at the wizard tv and when wizard hitler comes back, he joins up but realizes pretty loving quick that its scary loving insane bullshit and wants out. kids a loving shithead but you can see why he took it i guess if you feel generous. on him being a coward. well no poo poo, dudes a facist but also when the big wizard war or whatever happens. kids like 16/17 and he has seen people get tortured to death in his house and a friend of his get loving burned to death. pretty sure that would gently caress someone up. i'll take that over snape who just comes off as weird pathetic rear end in a top hat who wanted to gently caress harrys mom and was fine with wizard hitler killing the KID and the dad as long as mommy lived and than sorta protects her son because he feels bad that he didnt gently caress mommy or whatever. i know i am taking the worst read but i think people only want to gently caress snape is because he was played by Alan Rickman which is much much more understandable reason.
