Re: Games Discussion Thread

Apparantly there's a scene of implied felatio in the new one.
The first game had some it too and the modding comunity did a lot more in that department(for the PC version)...

(unless it's yaoi, strangely enough, or not the entire fricking focus of the porn...)
...comprehensive of same sex variants. So it's gonna be there in the second either the developing team introduce it or not.

Hmm, may have to tell the friend about this. She's a huge fan of those games. I didn't like the controls on Colossus, myself.

Also, seen...what is it? Maijin, the Guardian? Same folks.
Actually no, majin and the forsaken kingdom is not by team ico, competition is starting to show up it seems.

I don't remember any such sequence outside of dialogue, and I don't really count the mods as they are not actually the game itself.

The only reason I really bring it up is because I know this is going to create controversy amongst the more close minded folks out in the world. Fox news I'm looking at you after the bullshit story on the first Mass Effect.

Re: Games Discussion Thread

The only thing I can think of like that in the first game was one of the ways to blow your cover in the mission where you rescue loghain's daughter. You can walk in on a maid who was either blowing a guard or getting ready to, but that was just implied anyways and pretty minor.

Well, implied in dialogues is still "implied", anyway the game engine was released to be mod-friendly and the people at bioware encoureages modding to increase the game's popularity, mods were supposed to be part of the game from the beginning(at least on it's pc release), so that the limitations imposed by laws and public opinion on bioware could have been shattered by indipendent projects. As a matter of fact the modding comunity has introduced more content than bioware, so a fair judgment of the product should still take it into account, games like oblivion or fallout3 would be trash without their modding comunity and the simple fact these software houses release their games to be mod-friendly goes to show how important they are in the game's development.

A software house has to stick to the law and public opinon, but when the game is out it's the modding comunity that makes it the way it should be, this way bioware cuts production costs, abuses the media for advertisement with ephemeral sexual contents and let the game be completed by the fans, a win-win situation where the only ones to lose are those that play on consoles, but they always lose one way or another...

Re: Games Discussion Thread

I originally said that the scene was implied visually and not audibly, but yes even in dialogue it is implied but not at that moment in time.

Also, while the mods may be important to a game, they were not part of the original game and not made by the developers. Regardless of how good or amazing the mods are, or how much they add, they were not part of the original game. So there's sex in a game because a mod did it, is like saying that there's sex in porn.

Also, I wouldn't say Oblivion or Fallout 3 were trash. I played both games and heartily enjoyed them without any mods, and so did many others.

Re: Games Discussion Thread

Would you look at that?




Ten sega games for 7.50? And there're four packs in all? What's that? Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, and Gunstar Heroes?

Fucking. Sold.And no. Fuck your emulators. I don't care.
You dont care about emulators?? What did they possibly do to you? o_O I have never ran into any problems with genesis emulation.

Re: Games Discussion Thread

So, uh,

(US and Canada only, since I had to manually imput shipping cost to keep ebay from listing a borked over inflated price. But people outside of there probably won't have the right region settings on their PS2 anyways)

I'm told it's a pretty awesome game? Like, steampunk GTA?

Re: Games Discussion Thread

So, Bioware officially launched Anders' spoilerific page today and all I have to say is the same thing my friend did...



Also, there is a new trailer in the gallery:

Hmm... Anders could be interesting, but I wonder if the changes are going to make him loose his charm... time will tell.

You originally said "scene of implied felatio", might have meant visual but you didn't say it, misunderstanding cleared let's move on.

The mods for DA related to sex are a small part of the madbase, including not only new equipment, playable characters, character customization, spells, calsses, animations, quests and more, but improved the fighting mechanics and story interaction too, making a good game in way better one.
The more times pass the more mods are released keeping the game interesting for longer than the base product could have been, it's the same principle that DLC are based on, increases the replayability value of the game which in turn increases it's rating.
Also, i understood what you meant, but sex in porn is usually put there by those who develope the porn it self, so the way you you said it makes little to no sense.

Calling fallout trash was a little slip of the mind on my side, it's not as bad as oblivion, but i was thinking about the latter when saying that.
Oblivion is by far the worst western rpg i ever played, although i have to admit i skipped on a lot of real pathetic stuff that could be even worse.
The story is ridiculous and could as well not be there, the fighting are boring, melee is pretty much limited to hitting the foe till it's dead(or you die), ranged attacks are awkward(if i remember correctly, been a while) and magic is the worst of all, a handful of animations most of which is the same fucking ball of light of different color or size...
Graphically the world is great(if your pc is strong enough, or you play on console), but the characters are plain ugly, there are monsters that look more appealing than most of the people you encounter, making a character with a decent appearence is hell, i wasted 3 fucking hours trying to make my damn character look slightly less than disgusting the first time i played, but what really piss me off are the elves, they are monsters check or .
The voice acting is subpar, the npcs are uninteresting, there are few enemy types(of unimpressing design) and they all use the same tactics(ram you and attack or run and shoot). The dungeons are random, straightforward, unchallenging and full of worthless trash, the whole game is filled with useless trash. The movement animations are weird and unnatural.The quests are repetitive and most of them are no more than stupid, time wasting, chores. I have nothing against quests in an rpg, but oblivion is just a big aimless quest, might be fun in a MMO where you have people to talk and play with, but in a single player game that is acceptable only if the game itself is really good, while oblivion is not.
Played about 8h before giving up on it, months later i found the modding community and the game became bearable, nice magic animations, enjoyable maze-like dungeons, decent looking people and some eye candy weapons and armors.
FO3 wasn't as bad simply because it could be played as an fps, but still suffered from the same problems.

Re: Games Discussion Thread

Ah, well my bad for not clarifying my statement.

And yes, I'm fully aware of how mods can greatly enhance or change up a game. I still plan on getting Oblivion some day for the PC just to play with some of the mods. My point was just that one shouldn't judge a game by mods, because it's not the content released, it's not the actual game. But it doesn't entirely matter.

As for Oblivion being trash... that's your opinion. I won't argue against it, I enjoyed it cool for, you didn't, shitty but at least it gave you a platform for some enjoyable mods. There have been worse western RPGs out there, but meh.

No, he didn't get to play it... game was coded for the North American region so it wouldn't even play on his PS2.

Well, it's not bad, the story is pretty simple and kinda silly at times, but the gameplay is enjoyable and although it could use more customization for your bot it's an overall nice experience.

You could try playing it on your pc with pcsx2 (or on mac with the mac version), should be compatible with the latest version, might not work miracles, but at least you can give it a try for yourself.

Meant to say this earlier, but then i kinda lost myself...:eek:

Oh right, that sucks because it did sound like a good game. I'll definitely be picking it up once I have disposable money.

Re: Games Discussion Thread

Fable 3 was okay overall as far as games go. I like the fact that you didn't have to learn all the moves all over again. Or blow money for potions and stuff for XP. It was little short, and while the final battle with the darkness wasn't the big bad boss fight I would have liked it was still more satisfying then the end of Fable 2. One thing I really didn't like was that if you were wanting to play the good queen/king you end up screwing all your subjects over because the treasury gets too low. I didn't like the money micromanagement. But overall not all too bad. I give it a 5 or 6 out of 10.

Re: Games Discussion Thread

Fable 3 made me angry, and that's if I ignore the fake moral choices. If you act evil you sound good. No matter what you bloody do you come off as a do-gooder paladin of righteousness and law. And don't give me that "You may have been lying to get the friends!" bullshit. You should have been able to subjugate as opposed to co-operate. I wanted the kingdom carved from bullet holes and sword strokes, not friendship and love.

Here's the game-breaking problem I have:
Side-part of the game: Collect five silver keys. Okay, easy enough. Open chest IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIRST MAIN TOWN. GAIN 50,000 GOLD FOR NOTHING. Buy Pawn shop/tavern/whatever, make 5k every five minutes. They did not think for one bleeding second about how unbalancing money was. By the time I was on the throne I didn't have to put another penny in the treasury. I was making 50k every five minutes. Because I took an extra twenty minutes to find five keys and open a blindingly obvious chest.
I willingly went good the entire way literally because I could afford to without losing any of the thousands of people who can potentially die (Who die anyway from the looks of things as you fight the bigbad).

I should also mention how weak that ending was. You want to call it an apocalypse? MAKE IT AN APOCALYPSE. DON'T THROW LITTLE SPECTRES AT THE INHUMANLY POWERFUL HERO, THROW A TARRASQUE OR SOMETHING.

Combining melee and ranged weapons worked a lot better though, that made me happy (though any game that lets me combine flintlock pistols with swashbuckly swords makes me swoon - I love redcoats and swashbucklers).

Also cockney accents. All the time. I wanted to kill every single person in that entire world and end it with turning the gun on that stupid story-driving fortune teller. "DIDN'T SEE THAT ONE COMING, DID YOU!" I would cry, before filling her with black powder and lead.

In conclusion, I love the aesthetics and the combat gameplay. I detest practically everything else.

Re: Games Discussion Thread

^ this

It really felt like more like an expansion than a full fledged game on it's own. That and I think I beat it in like a day, which for someone who plays an xbox for a few hours a month, isn't saying much.

Re: Games Discussion Thread

That's also a point. If there's one part of a game that breaks it for me its total hours. If I can clock it in a day, there's a problem. Especially when the climax ISN'T THE END OF THE GAME. At least The Lost Chapters (1st game remade) gave you a whole new climax if you felt the need to continue further onwards. The game built up far too quickly with not nearly enough payoff.

Now, moving on to another game, Hammerfight.

Hammerfight is fantastic. If only because its a russian game with weird steampunky helicopter pods that were designed not with mounted guns but with weapons chained to the bottom of them.

Flinging a rock on a chain for twenty minutes was amazingly fun. The physics and movement of the objects responded appropriately to the movement and it just felt like a good time. Didn't understand a second of it, but it felt like a good time.

Reinstalling Counter Strike Source. Good idea or bad idea?
