uhhhh


the last good game was bully. im drunk.

[Trent Dole]

I'd say 'you're fucking terrible' in response but, fuck, man. Bully. BULLY

[Sho Nuff]

The only game I'm remotely interested in now is the new Driver because it's crazy and has new interesting gameplay dynamics

Any shooter can suck it at this point

Worst of all I have not touched a fucking game since starting this

[GilloD]

the new driver was packed with great ideas, but folded into an old package. Games are not about people; Games are not about allegory; Games are about games. They;re unbelivably fucking self-centered.

I was up to 5 a.m. this morning doing just that!

[GilloD]

Thats a game that steps outside of itself by doing 2 unique things

1: Being referential, i.e. building some of it's semiotic context on top of the player's ability to recall other shit
2: Refusing to abide standards

Both of which are fascinating approaches, but probably not useful for the advancement of an expressive medium. Still, fun fun fun

[Himu]

What kind of expression are you hoping for?

Drink more, then come back only after having played more. SR3 is the shiznit, even if BULLY was the last good OWG before it.

[Himu]

I definitely wouldn't say SR3 was the last good open world game since Bully. That's just bullshit. Saints Row 1, 2, Assassin's Creed games, Red Faction, Just Cause 2, hell...even games like Arkham City. That's just a weird statement to make.

I don't see why people praise Bully so much anyways. I mean, it's okay. But I wouldn't place it as best anything.

Have fun doing missions where you're helping a fellow classmate cut in line at the movies.

I mean, it's only a step up from going bowling with your cousin, right?

Boredom incarnate. Bully blows.

[Himu]

Haha. And then you go take her on a date, right? And it's like, you go to a carnival, and end up walking in a straight line, doing stupid shit like hitting the weight hammers. Then the mission just ends. Great, I spent 5 minutes of my time going on an on rails virtual date. Such wonderful mission design.

And then the same people complain when you end up being forced to go bowling in GTAIV.

lmao

[Joe Molotov]

Thanks to you I've finally seen the truth, Bully is shitty too. Rockstar = Worst developer ever.

[Himu]

Ahead of the curve. I've had the same opinion since the game came out. I never understood fan fascination with that game. The Warriors is far superior.

[Himu]

Thanks to you I've finally seen the truth, Bully is shitty too. Rockstar = Worst developer ever.

Are you sure you don't want to spend five minutes listening to the characters ramble about nothing? Happens every single mission in RDR and GTAIV, I swear.

[MrAngryFace]

ALLL DIS SHIT SUXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

[Howard Alan Treesong]

I started Bully after finishing SR3, it's the only open world game to rule as much as SR3. Bully

Pfft, Himu Plink HD is awesome.

Motherfucker, shut your goddamn cockwasher.  You play the Sims and pine for rail shooters.

My man.

[The Sceneman]

[Timber]

I think the part in Bully where you kiss the fat girl and hold hands with her as you pass your jeering schoolmates is the most heroic I've felt playing a video game.

[Himu]

Why do people like Bully? Are they being ironic when they praise it? It was clearly the first step towards Rockstar games having their heads up their own asses. It predates GTAIV!

[Timber]

Umm you get to throw nerds into lockers and stuff their heads down a toilet and then make out with yer girl as yer other girl looks on. What's not to like? Open world games have never had good mission design or mechanics ever.

[Himu]

I'm definitely going to disagree with that last comment. Mechanics is arguable, but mission design makes up for the entirety of the game. If the game has bad mission design, why play it?

[Himu]

Why is this



preferable to this



or this



Sounds to me, in that case, you care more about story than gameplay. In which case, you're a lost cause.

[Timber]

The only thing I care about in open world games and RPGs and all the AAA fuckfests is the freeroam idea of controling a character in an interestingly simulated world. RDR is mechanically subpar, and Bully and Saint's Row completely inept, but I like them for the world simulation, secrets to find, NPCs to dick around with, scenery to admire and maybe, hopefully, the (somewhat)  emergent things you can make happen. The thing in Bully where you can scatter marbles across the dorm entrance and set off the fire alarm so that everyone trips on their way out is worth more to me than any mission or story moment.

[Himu]

Ah, you like the fucking around. I'm not really a fucking around type when it comes to open world games. I mostly stick to the structure, but sometimes I branch out. I like making my own adventure, sure. But I also enjoy tight, and guided experiences. Open world games are great in that they allow a medium for both play styles. I don't see the point in liking a sandbox game if its mission design is vapid. I find Bully's missions to be vapid as fuck, so I get very little enjoyment from it. Giving people wedgie's is fun only for so long: in other words, not very.

Did you see that video? It's like the equivalent of a non-game. Who cares about actual mission design when you can just glide someone's bike 10 feet and then go make out with a fat chick?

[Timber]

NOT ME I'm literally a child on a playground when it comes to that stuff.

The only open world game I can think of where the mechanics and missions and the fucking around work in complete harmony is Red Faction: Guerrilla. If Mars weren't so boring it would be perfect.

[Himu]

I think SR's mechanics have been perfected in The Third. The shooting is great. The activities are great. The missions are great. Has something for everyone.

[Timber]

Yeah I'll play it sooner or later. From what I've seen it's finally delivered on the series' promise.

[Himu]

Who said GTAIV was better than Bully?

[Himu]

Bully predates GTAIV because it's a game full of canned missions that might as well be scripted in order for the Houser's to tell their latest Blockbuster (tm) story instead of giving players a sandbox to experiment with, with as many variables to do it.

Oh great, another scripted mission where I'm doing the equivalent of listening to the writers fart in the air.

Thankfully, Red Dead Redemption and TLAD saved Rockstar from being total shit but apparently LA Noire has decided to give the finger to that pecking order.

Wait, are you guys still playing games MANUALLY? No wonder you've gotten tired of them, you need to automate that shit. Do you not know where to get an Xbox automation library or something?

[Positive Touch]

guys i like super nintendo better than regular nintendo

You should pick up an old copy of Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction.

Not Mercs 2. That game was crap.

[Van Cruncheon]

it's a sad, sad day when i enjoy a modern ff game -- and a shitty spinoff, no less -- more than a modern mainline zelda game

[pilonv1]

Imagine if they were voiced cut scenes though, that would make it better.

[Tasty]

there you go, andrex

dcharlie played skyward sword

happy now?

Huh?

[Human Snorenado]

haha, you gave me crap in the zelda thread for telling dcharlie not to bother playing it because he wouldn't like it

well, here we are, and he doesn't like it

oscar rules, pokemon drools

creepy old guy likes this

It's still a good rule you bitter old fool.

[Damian79]

Zelda is a bloated horrible mess. I want dungeons and exporation not this E grade tittletattle.

Easiest way to make the next Zelda better : no one talks. At all. Though i suspect we'd then get fucking mimes repeated over and over and over.

You know what - let's make it simple. ONE story cut scene at the start. All it's allowed to say is : who the baddy is, where they live. "Sword. Shield. Bombs etc... go get them. Bye." DONE.

I would love this but Nintendo knows that only 10 people woudl buy it so they dont bother. :/

[Brehvolution]

COD rules. Just prestiged last Friday.

[Madrun Badrun]

GilloD, video games are like women.  If you spend too much time around them you get bored and make winy drunk posts on the internet.

[Great Rumbler]

oh snap

Yeah, go do something else for a while maybe.
