[QUOTE=TAU!;49032679]One Punch Man is the best.[/QUOTE] I've never seen anywhere where this wasn't a popular opinion.
I think the new NFS is looking to be a great new take on the franchise.
[QUOTE=TAU!;49032679]One Punch Man is the best.[/QUOTE] I think it's funny, but not a very suitable action series. its just 100% comedy. and as someone who loves good action (because comedy is literally everywhere) I expected more.
[QUOTE=Novangel;49032442]Pixel art ≠ terrible graphics[/QUOTE] Pixel art is one of my favorite art styles, but its hard to say that Undertale is a visually appealing game.
[QUOTE=Croc Shock;49032113]yeah but ironic shitposting is still shitposting[/QUOTE] would you say the same thing about movies like naked gun, black dynamite and machete?
[QUOTE=Drury;49032317]Looking at the latest leaked videos, it looks barely better than FO3 graphically. If it ran much worse it would be disgusting.[/QUOTE] At least they got rid of that shitty color correction. I don't usually care for Fallout games but the combat in this one actually looks fun.
[QUOTE=Croc Shock;49032113]yeah but ironic shitposting is still shitposting[/QUOTE] In this vein, I will never watch past the first five minutes of Kung Fury, because it came off as the most 'lol-random', trying to hard, cringe inducing 5 minutes of my life. Also their game was a rip off of One Finger Death Punch and that's not cool [editline]2nd November 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Sharker;49032863]At least they got rid of that shitty color correction. I don't usually care for Fallout games but the combat in this one actually looks fun.[/QUOTE] All I care about for the next Fallout, is that if I shoot someone it doesn't look and feel like an airsoft gun with *bang bang* sound effects attached to it
I love how people who scream don't preorder games immediately ran out and preordered fallout 4 and MGSV. be consistent
[QUOTE=Svinnik;49033067]I love how people who scream don't preorder games immediately ran out and preordered fallout 4 and MGSV. be consistent[/QUOTE] Same with people who complain about a company's ethics and then go and make exceptions for one of their games because "it's just so good!!!". Show some integrity for crying out loud...
Alternatively, if I had the money to buy it on day one, I'd preorder Fallout 4 because I'm 99.9% sure it will be an enjoyable game
amnesia is a sub-par and ungodly overrated game that's made flaccid, unscary walking simulators acceptable and killed both classic survival horror and the entire genre's sense of fun in favor of 90% shitty stories that go nowhere [editline]2nd November[/editline] and SOMA is frictional's best game since black plague just for not trying to pretend it's survival horror and actually having a story you want to play
I dont read the news here anymore since they removed the ratings
[QUOTE=Zukriuchen;49032839]would you say the same thing about movies like naked gun, black dynamite and machete?[/QUOTE] It's been a good long while since I've seen any of those but I think those might be a bit different? They're trying to go for the same feel as the thing they're parodying, sure, but I think what sets them apart is they're also making fun of the same thing they're drawing inspiration from. Pacific Rim just feels like a boring trudge, honestly. Fights and designs were sweet but like I said I think the story and characters are incredibly boring.

I played it alone. 2. I didn't stream it, nor did I watch anyone else's stream for it. 3. I didn't really know anything about the game going in. 4. I tried to immerse with the story. If you're not willing to immerse into the story (and there's nothing wrong with not wanting to do that), you're better off playing more of an action-paced game. But for me, I thought it was a nice atmosphere and a nice story to follow along, and I enjoyed the second one just the same. Penumbra was also enjoyable, although the ability to fight back made the game less of a walking simulator and more of an action-game. The flak that I see Amnesia get usually ties in with the fact that people are awful and run stuff into the ground. It was overly praised as this [I]amazing[/I] horror game, which in itself is too vague to do the game justice. On top of being overly praised incorrectly, a lot of people naturally want to say, "Well, the game wasn't scary" and try to judge it by universal horror standards, which isn't fair either. Then you've got Let's Players that portrayed the game in a god-awful, unfair, and unintentional light that made the game suck simply by association. My lack of knowledge of this stuff until after I played Amnesia helped make the game more enjoyable, and I'm glad I didn't look at how others were treating Amnesia.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;49033353]Yes, but something a lot of people fail to do is judge games based on the time they came out for graphics. Like, someone could say that Doom 3's graphics suck, but it also came out in the mid-00s. Graphics don't make a game, but when you get a sense from newer games that the creators didn't even try to make something look good, [I]then[/I] it's a valid complaint.[/QUOTE] Style matters more than graphics
Strawberry dum dums are bland garbage. The wrapper tastes better.
I'm not a fan of candy shells on chocolate.
Any kind of fruit-based candy is an abomination to candy in general. Give me chocolate, sugar, nuts, wafers, etc.
I don't think anyone under the age of 21, MAYBE 18, should be allowed to make the decision of having a sex change. During the time of which you're most emotionally volatile, you're most likely not able to make the decision that will change your life irreversibly. Wait til after you're done with puberty and then mull it over, and if you STILL want to do such a thing, then do it. People change over time, and so do people's ideologies and thoughts on the world and themselves. I've known 2 people who have gone through with it. One of them is 24, the other is 20. 24 year old already regrets it despite saying she felt this way her entire life, and i'd bet my legs that the 20 year old will feel the same within a few years.

My lack of knowledge of this stuff until after I played Amnesia helped make the game more enjoyable, and I'm glad I didn't look at how others were treating Amnesia.[/QUOTE] my beef is, i'd argue horror games right now are at the most derivative they've been in years, and it all traces directly back to amnesia making bad or nonexistent game design acceptable. it's a bizarre phenomenon because there's so many horror games coming out that we're nearly reaching saturation point, but there's maybe one vaguely innovative idea for every three games, and each one spares like ten minutes of thought on its gameplay before moving straight to the spooky monster's gimmick. i just want a game that has reasons for how it plays (or even why it's a video game in the first place rather than a book) beyond just being what's popular right now. if i asked half these designers why their games are designed the way they are, what exactly is scary about a sanity meter that has no gameplay or plot connotations, half-baked stealth mechanics and a flashlight you're not allowed to use 90% of the game, the answer would be "just look at amnesia dude! it's all about the story!" and yet at the same time it's all so video-gamey in its presentation. your sanity is represented by a bar that goes down when you look at specially designated bad things and means little. damage is red jelly on your face that you wipe off and you're back to normal. everything is told through notes and randomly placed voice-overs. if it were really about the story then surely someone should have some new ideas on how to deliver it to you and make it all meaningful? and maybe not follow the same cookie cutter routine they have for four years, making pretty much the whole thing dull and predictable? i do like horror games that are story-focused, i really liked Penumbra Overture and Black Plague and Silent Hill 2 and all that. just Amnesia doesn't have a good story or very imaginative gameplay, and when every game copies that it adds up to a lot of glazed over eyeballs.

[QUOTE=Qaus;49033881]the idea isn't "shouldn't be allowed", it's to keep reminding the person it might not be necessary. if this is a decision that changes lives irreversibly, who are you to decide for someone else?[/QUOTE] I agree that you shouldn't be making decisions for other people with the ability to make decisions for themselves properly, but they're not in the proper ability to do so. The brain doesn't fully develop until between the ages of 20-30, depending on the person. I can't say for every transgender person, I know a large amount of transgender people may be happy and not regret their decision. But it's beyond just changing gender, it sets them up for a serious danger in life. I've not fully read this study, so it may be out of place in this conversation, but still, my point stands. [URL="http://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/AFSP-Williams-Suicide-Report-Final.pdf"]http://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/AFSP-Williams-Suicide-Report-Final.pdf[/URL] The suicide rate for transgender people is much too high, and I'm sure it's either due to the fact that one, they have issues finding a relationship partner; two, they regret the entire operation, or three they're depressed and are seeking something that changing genders doesn't have the answer to but they believe it does. Of course my post here is lacking in a lot that I should be saying, but I'd have to read the study much more which I don't have the time for right now. If anything, it should be a test of cognitive standing to see where they're at in development for life. If they pass, they can do it.
[QUOTE=Vodkavia;49034020]Uh does it not maybe seem more likely that trans people are seen as freaks of nature and disgusting deviants and not because some are allowed to solve the crisis that's plagued them since birth. you really need to step back man.[/QUOTE] Maybe that is the reason why the suicide rates are so high. It's hard to prove that, or any other statement why it is. Correlation doesn't imply causation, but it doesn't mean that it isn't in all cases. To clarify if you or anyone has thought differently, I don't personally have a problem with trans people. Let people do what they want, it's their life and it doesn't effect you. But in some cases, there should be restrictions so that people don't fuck up irreversibly. [editline]2nd November 2015[/editline] On another topic; I don't believe the new star trek series coming up in 2 years will be good. I hope it is, but I have a looming fear that it isn't going to be.
[QUOTE=splenda;49031657]Yea the two main camps I've seen are people who embrace the word, or people who just don't give a shit. A lot of my friends who are a hell of a lot more social justice-y than I am just don't really care if they are called an SJW, because its seen as a recognition of their status of trying to stick up for social justice. IMO there is much more to be worried about in life than if someone on the internet ironically calls me a "social justice warrior." I would never use the term myself because I don't like labels, I don't even call myself a feminist even though I'm like kind of deeply engrained in it now, fuck I don't even call myself a man, but there are definitely people who see the word as uplifting because even their so-called "enemies" are recognizing that they fight for social justice in the world.[/QUOTE] Social Justice warriors will be the reason ideals like fascism and racism comes back. Worse then before and will make all progress made lost. It seems being a jerk in the name of not being a jerk, just doesnt seem to work. As for opinions? Know how currently the family name is inherited from the father in the West? I think it should be through the mother.
Any most games that allow it, I feel like the non-lethal option is grossly overrated

I had some Fruit Pastels once and they were pretty good! Keep that blackcurrant away from me though, I've got no business with made up fruit.
kettle-cooked dry fruit bits taste like heaven, especially lime
