on this note, the Leave ending in Silent Hill 2 makes the most sense thematically and should be the canon one In Water is the best-made one and one of the saddest endings in video game history but it doesn't jibe as well with the things James canonically does, and it annoys me that people read this one ending as making the whole game about suicide
We pay extra for higher quality films, which is stupid but common practice I guess. Always makes my eyes water when I browse the bluray section of any video store,
A seatbelt is most comfortable when it’s tight.
If people were forced to pay for winrar then nobody would use .rar files. The fact that winrar is free is why rar and winrar are so prolific.
Why? 7-zip and Peazip are better software and are FOSS. Except they also aren't, because they can't handle certain shit that was packed using proprietary winrar methods (you see this with... linux distros.) Fuck winrar.
People were bitching at me for complaining about god of war 4, pulling the whole "you can't know till you play it" argument, so when I got a PS4 a few days ago I went ahead and bought the fucking thing. It's still awful in exactly the ways I thought it was going to be awful. The combat is plagued by genuinely terrible enemy designs, and any amount of mechanical fun you can have is obscured behind those trash enemies. The side content is annoying to get to and unfun to get through, the difficulty is unplayable if you try playing on challenging (dying in three hits to enemies that take thirty). It's a game with a decent core buried underneath layers upon layers of derivative schlock. I frequently find myself struggling to enjoy the game because at every corner I'm pulled out of the experience with some boring gimmick or an enemy that flies all across the arena or some other pile of bullshit. The UI's also fucking terrible in terms of navigation and layout. At least I guess the game is pretty, but man, does it suck that I was not proven wrong on this. The longer I play the game and the less willing I find myself to even keep exploring.
Not that you aren't entitled to your own opinions, but the way you phrased this makes it feel like you went in ready to hate it
I think SUPERHOT's basic gameplay gimmick was fun and difficult, but the forced plot elements turn the whole game into weapons-grade dog shit. To imagine someone writing something so trite and cynical with complete sincerity and publishing it in a game, thereby crippling the game's only appeal (fast-paced murderplay) is actually fucking unbelievable. It's not even like Hotline Miami where it's hypocritical, it's just straight up a bad copy of The Matrix and Neuromancer, but with any of the intrigue or appeal of those stories stripped out.
ID should be required to vote, but should also be free.
One of Silent Hill's biggest influences was Jacob's Ladder, and the town is much alike the experiences of Jacob in that: It's "heaven", but instead of fluffy clouds and milkshake pools, it's where you go to confront the demons of your life, your traumas, and your failings. Whether it's a successful or crushing experience is entirely based on your fortitude and understanding -- to succumb to the town is simply to succumb to your mistakes, and your nature. That's why people like Eddie straight up die-- they succumb to their trauma, just as James does in the bad endings.
I wasn't going to spend 400 bucks for a console and 65 bucks for a game going in ready to hate it. The game feels much better by just ignoring all side activities and sticking to the main quest, which makes the pricetag harder to swallow. It's a shame to see so many games come out and get stretched so thin by open world shit when they ought to be far more linear.
Beyond just free, guaranteed to be easy to get and fairly universal. Lotta EU countries require IDs to vote, but you basically don't leave high school without being given one, so it's fine.
He spent weeks bitching about the game. He wants to hate it.
Age of Sigmar honestly seems like a missed opportunity to cash in on the burnout from shitty 40K games, especially when Warhammer Fantasy is getting good games.
Forgiveness is never a bad thing, even in the worst of people, as long as nobody forgets the horrible shit they've done.
You should only need to give your name and address to vote.
As much as I can respect your opinion on this, and my own judgment on the game isn't as stellar as, apparently, anyone else and their mamas, at the very least God of War's boss fights are gr ... ... ... Fuck
If the voting system works fine as it is without needing ID, then requiring ID will only introduce problems. There's no inherent need for it.
Further elaborating on my statements on god of war, I generally speaking absolutely despise open world when it is shoehorned onto a normally linear series. It doesn't work. It makes the game absurdly long and padded with garbage, it ruins balance and fucks pacing, all for the sake of making game """bigger""" when really all it does is stretch its content as thin as possible. Like, holy fuck, just stop. Open world games have to be designed to be open world from the ground up. Just converting existing licenses to it ends in disaster 99% of the time.
The thing about God of War though is that it's not an open world game. It's a linear game which opens new side areas as you progress through the story and gain new abilities. The lake of Midgard is more of a hub world than anything.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhlpY_NQyik I think this is literally the only context I'll ever be able to post a scene from this movie on this forum.
Totally agree, but it's not worth forgiving sociopaths who can't feel any remorse tbh All you're doing then is inflating their ego.
i do think one series was converted from a linear game to an open world game nicely mirror's edge: catalyst now you can shit on ME:C's story, its writing, its characters, the structure of its missions, etc., all you want, but you can't deny-- putting a game based entirely around a traversal system in an open world (albeit one built for purpose) that gives that traversal system room to exist is a good idea
It's at least worth it for yourself. I find that forgiveness does a lot for helping people come to terms with trauma and pain.
People who support anarchy has no idea what anarchy is
I don't understand why you are implying that anarchy and capitalism are basically one the supposed nemesis of the other , given that the former is a political ideology and the latter an economic ideology. Oh, and speaking of anarchy, fuck no. People are massive, self-entitled cunts who like to come up with new and creative ways to screw with other people for their own gain already under an organized society based on the rule of law and a poilitical body on top, so I'm afraid to think how they would turn our if those weren't there to begin with
Yeah, but the problem is human nature, nor the several ways people may organize their life together. I don't think that removing the economical, juridical and political systems altogether would make all the people on Earth enlightened and caring Samaritans all of a sudden, but instead it'd allow people even more free reign to give into their worst urges. If you want, we can even bring Rosseau and Hobbes into this
Becoming knowledgeable about garbage by reading a lot of garbage isn't exactly impressive
Problem is that an Anarchy system literally always results in any other system, anarchy or anarcho-communism will always result in a similar society to that of one we have today.
Tbh i'm not really sure of that. I'm against anarchism right now because I believe that it is a wildly unproven risk, but things could change pretty wildly in the distant future e.g. in relative post-scarcity. Though yeah, "things might be different in the far future" is kind of an empty thing to say.
