[QUOTE=Alice3173;46431927]I found Wind Waker to be boring at best. Maybe it picks up further than I got but the first part of the game feels really slowly paced and not as open as you would expect for a Zelda game.[/QUOTE] All zelda games are slow at first and did you even get to the part where you get the boat or what? It gets about as open as you could get after that point.

[QUOTE=Nintendo-Guy;46431950]All zelda games are slow at first and did you even get to the part where you get the boat or what? It gets about as open as you could get after that point.[/QUOTE] I did have the boat. I can't remember exactly where I was though because it was a few years ago. I'm pretty sure it was some fortress dungeon thing that I lost interest in the game at.
[QUOTE=Oizen;46431770]Wind Waker is best 3D Zelda game[/QUOTE] It is a good game, but I prefer Ocarina of Time imo.
Link would grow up to be Major John Reisman from The Dirty Dozen
[QUOTE=SirLemon;46431512]Holy fuck that's hilariously racist.[/QUOTE]indeed. That's my example because it's the easiest example of a stereotype that's untrue.
[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;46431840]Why?[/QUOTE] I don't know about him, but let me say why I did: because it was an entire game built around the one most annoying mechanic of the time, an arbitrary time limited level. A ton of games back then would have just one level where there was a time limit slapped on despite the game's other mechanics not actually being designed for it, resulting in that one level being a pain, Majora's Mask was that applied to an entire game.
I enjoyed AVP: Requiem and thought it was a lot better than the first AVP. The first one was pretty lame, imo.
I don't get the appeal to playing really old games. Like before actual 3d old.
Everyone badmouthing the new avp games gotta go back to the late 90s and play the original games. Both great, the marine campaign is terrifying
[QUOTE=Sharker;46433257]I don't get the appeal to playing really old games. Like before actual 3d old.[/QUOTE] fite me irl On a more serious note: nostalgia is a powerful factor; many of the more popular platformers and the like have stood the test of time for a long haul now like Castlevania, Bitmap Bros.'s Gods, Commander Keen (shameless plug) and so forth.
Ye like play symphony of the night and try to tell me that even in 2014 it's not one of the best you've ever played

[QUOTE=mikeyt493;46433335]Ye like play symphony of the night and try to tell me that even in 2014 it's not one of the best you've ever played[/QUOTE] it's okay compared to, for example, sawing off your own arm, at least
[QUOTE=mikeyt493;46433335]Ye like play symphony of the night and try to tell me that even in 2014 it's not one of the best you've ever played[/QUOTE] I think that most newer Castlevanias actually pull off what SotN was trying to do significantly better. There's several places where it's not remotely straight forward what you're supposed to do. The mirrored castle was neat though, albeit surprisingly difficult. (I think Harmony of Dissonance isn't as good as SotN and Circle of the Moon is about even with it. Portrait of Ruin is around the same though while I'd consider Aria/Dawn of Sorrow and Order of Ecclesia far superior.) That's not to say SotN is bad by any means though. I enjoyed it quite a bit despite my issues with it. Though I did start playing Castlevania a fair bit after SotN too. All of those are better than the old style ones though in my opinion.
I don't get the hype for interstellar. I went to see it and it's a dreadfully boringly long movie riddled with plot holes. I thought "eh it was alright", but then I went home, got out a packet of digestives and sat down to eat them, and then I thought "good god, that movie didn't make one iota of sense".
[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;46432004]The hell are you blaming Obsidian? It was Bethesda that set the schedule.[/QUOTE] Your right your right, I was thinking about it further and Obsidian were actually the ones that wanted to do a more classic storyline. BUT SOMEONE HERE, IS TO BLAME! *Everyone looks at Todd Howard* *One guy looks at Erik Dellums*

I haven't seen it personally, but it looks pretty good. Someone asked me about my last post on Majoras Mask and why I didn't like it, the simple reason is the time constraint, any single player campaign/story where I feel like I need to be rushed feels like really flawed game design, dead rising and pikmin also kind of fall under this too.

[QUOTE=UnidentifiedFlyingTard;46435641]If they had more time they would have fleshed out Legion more though?[/QUOTE] Yes and no. Bethesda didn't give enough time to Obsidian. Although in Fallout:NV Legion were shown as ruthless aggressors in Nevada. Because, they were. But, if you look at the East Legion is a little better to the people than what Nevada shows. In the East, from what I've read, they take cities such as Pheonix, Two-Sun, Denver. Kill all the bandits and raiders around it and secure trade hubs to the point that caravans don't even need guards. The thing about Fallout:NV is that even if Obsidian had more time to flesh out Legion, it would have been very difficult to shine the light of what they've done that aids the people. Mainly due to the fact that they are acting as ruthless aggressors to the people of Nevada and the people who side with the NCR, like in Nipton.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;46435526]Vice City does not hold up well today.[/QUOTE] I played it a while ago. I was immediately awash with wishing I was playing GTA IV, or Saint's Row, or fucking any other game in the genre San Andreas I can definitely see but honestly why anyone still wants to play anything else GTA before IV I just do not understand
People still take drink driving too lightly. Everyone admits it's bad, everyone admits it's dangerous and life threatening. Yet, there's still people with mid-high range PCAs and carrying children in the car getting off with mere fines and disqualifications. I know this is tough, but if you're going to be as reckless as driving while drunk with children you are and should be treated like a god damn criminal. Hell, over here (NSW, Australia) we even made that an aggrevating factor. A fine and disqualification just doesn't seem proportional to the seriousnesss of drunk driving. The same goes for serious speeding. We need to stop looking at them as 'everyday crimes' which are somewhat more acceptable. I'm not necessarily saying they should have stints in prison (repeat offenders and the highest percentiles maybe), but suspended sentences, community service, even home detention need to be increased as punishments.

Ever notice how the right half of the map has the fort and a whole lot of empty land?
I believe horse meat shouldn't be seen as some sort of inedible taboo. Horse meat is just meat, and it's leaner than beef. [QUOTE=pilot;46435832]Yes and no.

Their bad parts were terrible, but their good parts were fantastic. Imagine the world of Fallout, with all the deathclaws, cazadores, and shit. In Legion controlled territory, its so safe people don't even have to carry weapons. On the other hand, slavery and rape.
I don't like any of the GTA games before GTA IV
There's literally no justifiable reason to smoke or not quit smoking.
Hard boiled eggs are much better than medium/soft boiled ones

You're either a slave, a sex-slave baby maker, or dead. Honestly, I'd rather deal with a world of raiders, ghouls, super mutants, and anything else the wasteland has to shit out than live a day under Caesar and co's boot.
