Half-Life > Half-Life 2

[QUOTE=ejonkou;50187918]Half-Life > Half-Life 2[/QUOTE] I preferred Half Life 1 the moment I finished it. I like the environments more, the guns are WAY better, the combat is much better, and for what little there is, I like the story more.

While Borderlands 2 doesn't have the best writing, I still think people really over blow how bad it was. Especially the whole game being nothing but memes thing.

[QUOTE=Captain;50190066]While Borderlands 2 doesn't have the best writing, I still think people really over blow how bad it was. Especially the whole game being nothing but memes thing.[/QUOTE] Yeah, when it's bad it's REALLY bad, but I think people overstate how often it goes there. Also, Handsome Jack was actually a pretty good villain too. His arc was actually pretty cool when it got past him being more of a comic relief villain. Still, it's good news to hear Burch isn't going to be behind the next game. In an ideal world I'd love to see a proper Borderlands game with the writers from Tales From the Borderlands though. That was actually really well done, one of Telltale's best.

video games are for children, anyone over the age of 21 should drop video games tbh.

[QUOTE=Captain Proton;50190373]video games are for children, anyone over the age of 21 should drop video games tbh.[/QUOTE] He says on the forums of a video game developer.

[QUOTE=Captain Proton;50190373]video games are for children, anyone over the age of 21 should drop video games tbh.[/QUOTE] Yeah, because the Witcher 3 and games like it are totally for children :rolleyes:

I think that my personal definition of a manchild is one that is entirely dependent and has no will to assume personal responsibilities. For some strange reason, people have conflated that with playing games, watching cartoons, and all sorts of stuff. It's pretty ridiculous, and the people that I've seen say stuff like this go home to watch reality shows and escape through other means. While I know that Captain Proton is trolling (look at his post history), it does actually bother me that people don't take games seriously and treat it with some sort of stigma. For a lot of people, games aren't allowed to be art. It's not allowed to be a sport. It's not allowed to be a good hobby. It's not allowed to be a positive influence. It's not allowed to be anything, really. And I don't think there's anything else that gets this much flak - look at football. Football takes up a lot of people's time, money, and energy. It's not art, but it is a sport and it is a "positive" influence. And I think the difference is the social element. When people look at games, they see it as the absolute antisocial thing to do. Really, the only thing you'd get out of games is a bunch of ten year olds yelling racial slurs, right? Well, there is that, but there are entire communities formed around games that arguably cultivate its own culture that can produce art, promote hobbies, and can have some positive influences. I mean, look at Facepunch. How many people want to program after playing Garry's Mod? How many people took up modelling because of Garry's Mod? How many of these people communicate with each other as a result and check over each other's work? How about art? We have a thread for musicians here. I'm in there. And it's not just Facepunch that leads to programming and asset creation but also Minecraft, Terraria, the DOOM series, Quake, and more. And before all this, I was on High Impact Halo, where I took up learning Photoshop and video editing for montages and signatures. After having a brief fanaticism of Dance Dance Revolution and OCRemix, I developed an interest for electronic music and soon started a life-long career of being a musician, which was aided with the help of fellow video game remixers. And even avoiding the social aspect of gaming, I think that some games are [I]very[/I] artistic and can actually say things. Amnesia is one of my favorite games not for horror alone, but because it had a solid story with an emotional roller coaster that I don't always feel from movies. The current ending of Half-Life 2 is a heart-wrenching one. Even though I wasn't a fan of the gameplay in Bioshock, I played through it explicitly for the story and the setting. I really think that a person who is against gaming should be against movies, art, and communities, because that all comes with games.

The Late Phillip J. Fry is the best, most emotionally-impactful episode of Futurama, way more than the dog episode

[QUOTE=Bathtub;50191860]The Late Phillip J. Fry is the best, most emotionally-impactful episode of Futurama, way more than the dog episode[/QUOTE] the one where his brother steals the clover is more touching than the dog episode

[QUOTE=Cone;50192036]the one where his brother steals the clover is more touching than the dog episode[/QUOTE] Even as a huge dog person, I can think of like several episodes that are more touching than Jurassic Park. The Luck Of The Fryish (the one youre talking about), The Sting, Meanwhile, The Late Phillip J. Fry, the one with Frys mom, Benders Big Score (if you count it as an episode)

Resident Evil 5 is one of the best co-op games to have ever existed.

Shouldn't asses be considered evil two round beautiful thing with a SEWAGE PIPE in the middle

[QUOTE=Bathtub;50191860]The Late Phillip J. Fry is the best, most emotionally-impactful episode of Futurama, way more than the dog episode[/QUOTE] I love dogs(Got 2 of my own) but animal deaths in movies/tv/games etc. doesn't really do anything for me. I'm much more saddened when it comes to human deaths, especially if it's a family death. The Luck of Fryish is by far my favourite Futurama episode.

garry doesn't deserve the money he's gotten

[QUOTE=Chef Neelix;50197484]garry doesn't deserve the money he's gotten[/QUOTE] $2b for Minecraft is far more insulting. Notch getting a megamansion is disproportionate to the amount of work he's done.

but minecraft is a very good game, one of the top games in the last decade tbh

Even though I agree with you, if idiots want to waste their money on stupid crap, and entrepreneurs end up rich as a result of that, I don't think anyone should stop them.

[QUOTE=Chef Neelix;50197491]but minecraft is a very good game, one of the top games in the last decade tbh[/QUOTE] minecraft isnt any more than decent, it had very little content during its development cycle before notch said 'ayy ima gonna jump ship' and sold it for a fuck ton of money. Terraria 1.0 literally had more content than minecraft at release. I know one's 2D and the other's 3D, but imagine if minecraft had Terraria's depth and progression, it would have easily become one of the consistently biggest names in the sandbox genre, bigger than it ever got. When a game requires mods to have any actual depth in it, you know the creators were doing it all wrong. Hell if they had simply as much depth as the Thaumcraft mod had to offer, that alone would have made it a 100% better game.

He sat in a chair and perfomed the exhausting, multiple vacation requiring task of pressing some buttons on a keyboard and now he lives in one of the nicest houses in America. What a system us humans have developed, eh? [editline]25th April 2016[/editline] If I sound jealous and bitter, it's because I am. Nobody deserves that much money for programming a Java game. $2b for Minecraft just conveys to me our entire established system of economics is broken.

It's incredibly ironic for someone to be pro animal conservation but be against zoos and hunting (Note: HUNTING, not POACHING).

We need new names for the games in the action-adventure genre. Like seriously it's way too broad. "I don't know what to call this so let's just say it's action-adventure".
