  • Teetotaler, bitches!  I'm high on life.

  • Champion of the Whales

    Why does the statue have a union jack bikini?

  • Anyone have any games they play to cheer themselves up?

  • They're somethin' else.

    You mean aside from Kirby?

  • "you duck spawn, refined creature, you try to be cynical, yokel, but all that comes out of it is that you're a dunce!!!!! you duck plug!"

    Postal?

  • You can change. You can.

    Arkham Asylum

  • There is love everywhere, I already know

    Final Fantasy X-2.

  • Psychonauts.


  • Started playing Guild Wars 2. Really enjoying it.



    Saturn: Yeah, it's pretty fun.


    Me and Tibetan Fox play it every so often on weekends.

  • Ridi, Pagliaccio, sul tuo amore infranto!

    Oh, Tibby? How's he doing.


    Yeah, but I've noticed I have a small problem with being underleveled.

  • Depends what class you are. Some are particularly hard to play.
  • a little muffled
    I want to try GW2 and it really bothers me that there's no free trial.
  • Ridi, Pagliaccio, sul tuo amore infranto!

    It bothered me too, but I considered the fact that there is no monthly fee to make that worth it.

  • a little muffled
    That only matters if I assume I'll play for more than a month. Which I really can't without playing it first.
  • If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.

    Yeah. Otherwise, it's a $80 investment for me to buy the game. I'm not willing to throw away $80 on a game without knowing I'll like it.

  • Also, world events and crafting. Keep doing them.



    You'll never be over-leveled for what you're trying to do because they downgrade you in lower level areas.
  • OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!

    It seems Nintendo's plan for the next generation is to make consoles and handhelds one thing.


    Could be exciting. Basically a Wii U with a more independent tablet.

  • Poot dispenser here

    That seems to be the new trend: small consoles and power-packed handhelds.

    Interesting article about how gamers' tendency to screw around forces developers to skew their priorities.

  • Creature - Florida Dragon Turtle Human

    But the problem with criticizing this is a key piece of the appeal of videogames is the fact that they are virtual sandboxes.  Many gamers complain when it isn't sandboxes; see how much criticism there is of JRPGs being railroaded and lacking freedom.


    And because the rules differ from sandbox to sandbox, and because of expectation of easter eggs and "devteams thinking of everything", such curiosity is rewarded.

  • OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    Not all games are the same.
  • Creature - Florida Dragon Turtle Human

    True.  And looking back at my comment, I see the irony of me arguing "against" JRPGs when I usually do the opposite.


    But how do you propose to solve this problem?

  • OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    It can't really be solved per se. It's just an exacerbating factor in why AAA, 3D games are so expensive to make.
  • One foot in front of the other, every day.
    Or rather, intentionally linear games. As the article implies, sandbox games often avoid this issue altogether.
