The gaming industry/culture as a whole needs to get over telling the player how to feel as a mechanic. Didn't work in Amnesia with an insanity mechanic, definitely doesn't work with a game that's trying to be bleak and depressive.

That feel when the new Mad Max's pre-release gameplay was VERY selective, if my current playthrough is anything to go by. Bloated and clunky at times, and the voice actors almost sound like they have hearing problems sometimes.

Waaay ahead of you ;) Not a very good musician, as I'm a very scattered and unfocused mind, but I do compose and critique. On a professional level though, I photograph I will be so poor once I leave academia dear god what am I doing with my LIFE? As said above, I feel it's more that your...

Very true. I am admittedly speaking in retrospect (and thus working off an atrocious memory), and the size of maps definitely has something to do with how you see it, but I can still think of at least three vaults in New Vegas which were in the least populated and 'known' by the raiders and...

I think a more accurate assessment for the 'magic is lost' argument is 'a lot of the technically lacking artworks you once enjoyed will be harder to appreciate once you can see through the faults you can now identify'. It certainly is the case with music. Once you know the chord progressions...

That's a really verbose way for him to say "we are incompetent"!

Same with music. What you love now, you will likely come to hate with bloody passion.

Nothing is more insightful and worthwhile than a new thread on here detailing why Bethesda's game design sucks ass.

I don't know if veteran players will agree with this (I'm new, relatively speaking), but one of the first things I noticed about 1 + 2 was a marked decrease in both presence and discussion of the vaults. Blatant ethical worries aside, the locations of the vaults and thus the actual experiments...

Tbh Atomkilla, it's more the sort of film you see for moments rather than a larger plot, imo. Not in a Pulp Fiction way. Like there are scenes and set pieces that are all placed next to each other and yes there is a story there, but really it's about each smaller story rather than the sum of...

I find games like DS harder to rage at because the difficulty of the gameplay is more relevant to the world and the story. It's when the difficulty makes no sense, is the result of poor controls etc that I get frustrated

Remember this? I snapped the disc in half and had to go downstairs for an hour. I was young. I had anger problems.

And even their own IPs are totally ripping off other well established games, also rather fittingly games from the 90s which had an original premise, aesthetic, gameplay etc :V

The gaming industry as a whole needs to get over the graphics fad. Most indie games I play that lack the disproportionate amount of time spent on making 1080p models and skyboxes more than make up for it with a better considered story, more immersive gameplay, deceptively simple mechanics...

RE: the Boris track you liked - you mentioned it reminded you of Quake II. Though you probably know Nine Inch Nails (Quake's s/t), you might like Coil, who made relevant if somewhat different works. NIN and others involved in that musical scene were certainly chummy with them. Scatology and The...

Nice little intro. Two note vamps always appeal to me. The vocals... hmm. It's really trying to be all cutesy and the lyrics aren't helping. I don't know if there is a subtext there but I'm not hearing it. Great instrumentals but I think I know why that is - it's exactly the sort of structure...

From the very rare episode my friends have put on, all I remember of their recent (and early) stuff is Cartman calling The Other One a Jew a lot and the occasional stab at insulting the celebrity of the week. I tend to gravitate towards shows like Bojack Horseman when it comes to animated...

I can't see it working very well without a huge jump in time.

Unless he will say 'Slartibartfast', there is no point.

Anyone who though Liefeld was good probably didn't get enough sleep.
