strategy games should not have infinite resources (im looking at you stronghold crusader and rise of nation)
Uh Stronghold only has infinite resources if you cheat??? [editline]28th April 2014[/editline] Even free build has finite resources
[QUOTE=Kentz;44669379]strategy games should not have infinite resources (im looking at you stronghold crusader and rise of nation)[/QUOTE] Depends on the game, base building stuff, yeah there should definitely be finite resources so it's harder to just turtle up and hold off forever. Tactical games I think should have infinite resources with the game ending when objectives are completed. Like in world of conflict, you never run out of resources permanently, it only ends when the timer runs out or objectives complete. [QUOTE=RosettaStoned;44669220]I don't like roguelikes.[/QUOTE] I dislike how archaic many of them are, the interfaces etc. are usually pretty awful unless you're used to the sort of thing. Also by roguelike I'm going by the wikipedia definiton "characterized by procedural [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_(video_gaming)"]level[/URL] generation, tile-based graphics and [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permanent_death"]permanent death[/URL]", not games that are called roguelike sometimes just because they have randomly generated content. Though I don't really hate them, Dwarf Fortress, for example, I'd play any day. But the interface etc. could be so much more inviting.

PC gaming fanatics are the fucking worst. Consoles are cool too.
Fuck Half-Life 3. I want a decent end to the Half-Life 2 era first.
Speaking of which, at this point, I genuinely don't care if HL3 or Ep3 or whatever never comes out. [editline]29th April 2014[/editline] Like if it gets announced, yay, but it not, eh.
Half Life 3 will never be released, and the more people talk about it, the less Valve cares about actual development. "Buh i wan hl3" What Valve hears is "We only want one specific, totally niche game that has to meet huge standards, and god help you if you release something else". Hence the constant CS:GO/TF2 updates that do nothing but add cosmetics and saturate the community market. They're doing it so they aren't eviscerated. Opinion/falsefact but that's what I think.

this would not be happening if ep2's ending wasn't so fucked up
I like Black Mesa's soundtrack, and I don't know why everyone hates it or wants it changed.
[QUOTE=Skyward;44671349]PC gaming fanatics are the fucking worst. Consoles are cool too.[/QUOTE] They do sound really entitled to the point where it's stupid

I think Jack Daniels is the shittiest Whisky ever.
[QUOTE=Behemoth_PT;44676651]I think Jack Daniels is the shittiest Whisky ever.[/QUOTE] I don't think it's shitty but it's far more expensive and popular than it ought to be.
[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;44676657]I don't think it's shitty but it's far more expensive and popular than it ought to be.[/QUOTE] You can probably blame EpicMealTime and their love for Jack Daniels for that one. [editline]29th April 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;44674950]I like Black Mesa's soundtrack, and I don't know why everyone hates it or wants it changed.[/QUOTE] I thought it was pretty decent, but I would've liked it more if they remixed the original tracks from HL1 instead. They might not be able to get away with that if they're making a full-blown retail version eventually, though.
video game endings that are affected by your kill count [sp]metro last light and dishonored for example[/sp]are bad ideas. I have no problem if you're a pacifist, but in a universe like [sp]metro and dishonored[/sp] pacifism shouldn't be a top priority. [sp]and morality check should just depend on your choices matter what choices you have, not just "don't kill plz"[/sp]

I hate it when people use the "it doesn't affect you so you shouldn't care" argument, there's no reason why I can't have an opinon about something that doesn't affect me.
^When someone claims they don't care about an issue just because it affects others but doesn't affect them personally, I tend to write them off as a privileged moron. Of course, there is a difference between not having an opinion and not caring.
Gone Home is a good game, it's just way overpriced. The only reason people hate it is because it's super pretentious.

It's an interactive story. It's that simple. Treat it like Myst or a hidden object game another similar game but with less puzzles. It's kinda more like a visual novel actually, just with fewer choices to make and the story involves actually moving around in 3d space.
