I want a new Syphon Filter, gimme dat taser of death

 

I forget who asked me like months ago but yeah my gametime in The Sims 4 is about 17 days

 

And when EA "announced" they're working on remasters of beloved games my first thought was Sims 3 then I realized I'm probably in the minority who thought that lol

 

why not just keep playing sims 4?

 

I much prefer the open world of sims 3 it just runs like garbage

 

Is anybody getting R6 Quarantine? That DLC looked kinda naff to me. To have a full game of that seems...odd...

 

Death Stranding reviews are out. It's at a 84 Meta but it's divisive as heck.

here's ign with a 6.8

 

I think it looks quite calming. Interested to see what folk here think considering it’s a lot of travel like erm, that Western game everybody loves...

 

As long as the travel doesn’t feel like walking through waist high water ;D

 

Loved traveling in RDR2.

 

Everything that I've seen from Death Stranding looks boring as fuck

 

Witht RDR2, its clumsiness seems to be through developer ineptitude, and not because it was meticulously crafted to be, uhm, annoying to play.

whereas Death Stranding is "annoying" on purpose.

but at the end of the day it is still annoying.

 

major take away #2 from this: you were only allowed to post a review if you actually FINISHED the game.

 

i like walking and no man’s sky so i wonder how much i’ll enjoy the game

 

Review: Death Stranding (Sony PlayStation 4) - Digitally Downloaded

"Death Stranding does belong in an art gallery more than it does sitting on consoles next to more traditional "games". As I sit here to write this, I am fully convinced that there are going to be plenty of reviews from my peers that veer to the other extreme with their scores. And fair enough, because as a “game” Death Stranding doesn’t do much. But as a work of art, Death Stranding is something mesmerising, intelligent, and powerful, and we never see genuine art within the big budget, blockbuster space. That alone makes it a rare treat to play, and I rather like this new-look, independent Kojima."

^That right there is the problem with many video game critics. They don't respect video games as an art form. Gameplay and interactivity is part of the artistic process in this medium. Not only that, it's the most important part of it. Until these critics fucking accept that, I won't take their reviews seriously.

 

I'd argue on the contrary that some times video game critics see art where there isn't any. Just because something is mired in tedium does not inherently make it artistically more valuable. (not saying that that's the problem with Death Stranding, as I haven't played it yet).

 

No rogue no go

 

So it’s a Kojima game ;D

 

I think a mainstream game (which this still is) with bad gameplay deserves to be criticized because of it, artistic intent or not. Also not saying it is bad by the way, just in general.

 

MGS V was mechanically top notch.

 

This is true, I always defend that game

 

I won't share my thoughts on MGS because I'll only make people mad

 

Not more than vase lol

 

True. But I don't actually try and anger people here. I just forget that other people's opinions on games can anger people.

 

And my thoughts on MGS will just anger people
