Yet another GAF thread - I still haven't got over it :( (No spergfits allowed)

[Tasty]

I don't have them anymore. Unlike PD, I don't keep online friends who happen to be girls' pics saved to my hd.

I miss the old the jrpg clique. Me, Scarlet, Ethelred, Dragona, Bebpo, RK, Shouta, Error, Charlequin, and later, Aeana, Segata, So tight knit. Now I go to a gaf jrpg thread and I don't know any of those people and not only that, they're annoying. C'est la vie, I'm old I guess. Gaf isn't the same for without my old gang. Doesn't help I don't really play rpgs anymore. I'M OLD

Himu, let's make our own nintard clique. BrandNew can be a probationary member.

Um.

No

I blame Kagari for ruining that scene

Dunno. I think it is becauce most of them are mods now or most of them left gaf. Most of us communicate in private tho so we are still a big ol gang now just in private. Only ones I'm not in contact with much anymore is ethelred, shouta, and duckroll. You can still see remnants of it on twitter though. Charlequin, Oscar, Aeana, and a few others are big tweeters. I'm not though so I'm missing out.

That was you?! 

Yeah, you'd look good with a shaved head.

Tired of the "more women need to make games" argument. It implies a man can't simply write or design women as people.

Tired of the "more women need to make games" argument. It implies a man can't simply write or design women as people.

It also implies that no amount of smart writers is going to solve the issue. Maybe I'm just a misanthrope, but people are fucking stupid. It takes an abundance of women, in positions of power, for some people to 'get' what the problem even is.

Some people will never get it which is also why women need to be in positions of power. Because the ones who don't get it won't cede ground otherwise.

[Phoenix Dark]

but we shouldn't just give women, or minorities, positions of power solely for diversity reasons. I wouldn't want an inexperienced game director making The Last Of Us 2 just because she's a woman.

the TLOU part was trolling but overall yes, I'm not a fan of quotas or affirmative action based on gender/race.

Do you think indie gaming offers a good opportunity for women to get that first step in the door?

I knew you were but I wanted to make that point anyway. If we're talking about AA in an industry in which plenty of people get on board based on kissing ass or testing a game, it's whatever.

As to your question, yes I think it does.

Archery in Skyrim isn't really that good. I typically play archers, assassins, and thieves. Bowery was solid but not great, as you say it is. You can shoot from a place and they'll be looking all over for you except the obvious location. Shoot them, and they're like,"what's that?" Still, it's definitely the most badASS means of disposing enemies.

[Broseidon]

Archery in Skyrim is fucking orgasmic i dont even give a fuck

[doctavius bonbon]

ESO proves they don't give a fuck anymore

Dragon break means they can essentially put whatever ducktales they want and it might not even be real, plus it's set in the first era or whatever and therefore is irrelevant. We're in the 4th-5th. Its like Enterprise. No one gives a fuck

Harsh gameplay experience aside, I kinda wish I was a bit more invested in the elder scrolls lore so I could make an informed judgement on ESO's writing in general.  At the very least, there was definitely no shortage of history books and shit lying around, and the characters I encountered weren't typical mmo levels of brain dead.

RPG threads are definitely super fucking terrible now that all you guys have been replaced by the moe and waifu brigade, I remember even people like Stump and Ghaleon and Drinky and NichM used to participate sometimes and now it's just Mr. Japanese Culture Expert and I wanna shoot myself.

Also hi everyone, decided to stop being a creeper and delurk. I'm just some random nobody and I think I've only ever interacted with Oscar on twitter but this seems like as good a place as any to insult people and make fun of shitty posters without getting banned, so whats good.

[El Babua]

I get into ES lore every time a new one is about to come out. Too bad we never got the Cyrodil as described in Morrowind. I think ES Online is just gonna ape Oblivion anyways.

Cyrodiil in ESO is just a dumb huge 2000 player RvR battlefield, with Molag Bal controlling the Imperial City via a dark anchor.  This can be a good or bad thing depending on your perspective.

Well, the AI response was dumb, but it played like how I would want archery to play. Sniping from secrecy, arcs to shots,etc.  Hitting a target while its in mid-stride from far atop a distant tower was pretty awesome.

I like how you can freeze time when you shoot a bow.

GTA makes 70 million in microtransactions in 3 months. Witness grown men cry in fear over their F2P future.

It was a delicious sight to see. The best bit? None of them actually play the game or have played it for an hour or two. I play it a few times a week and you don't have to buy any money packs, but I like that the option is there if I so choose.

Hunters was fine as a tech demo for the system, but the multiplayer was god awful.

SonyGAF taking pre-emptive measures against anyone criticising the game by accusing people of 'jumping to conclusions'.

[Tasty]

I've always been up front about my lukewarm appreciation of the Metroid series.

Young, spends his hard earned cash on nintendo consoles for the whole family instead of taking a nice girl out, Vanquish would've been top 5 game for him if he ever played it, and can't cook for himself.

I already know enough.

You're the same age as me.

I spend money on many kinds of electronics.

Tindr cuts the bullshit out.

Mikami was prolific on the GameCube.

Been cooking almost as much as eating take out since the year started.

You don't know shit.

[Himu]

There are only three good Metroid titles. Not exactly the most consistent of the Nintendo franchises. Probably one of the weakest franchises Nintendo has had historically in terms of quality and consistency. One Metroid will be average, the next Metroid will be the bomb, the Metroid after that will be meh, after that? Shit. You can't rely on Metroid for quality like you can with Mario, or - for the most part - Zelda.

[Tasty]

It's on the same level as Star Fox for me. Fun, but usually not worth buying at release.

[Himu]

Starfox is even worse than Metroid. Starfox snes isn't really that good anymore, and that leaves 64, which is of course is one of the greatest rail shooters of all time. Anything after that?

[Great Rumbler]

Metroid Prime is The Godfather of videogames, let's not forget.

[etiolate]

Oriiginal Metroid is good, just not nearly as great as Super Metroid. Prime 3 is also good, even if it was more a direct action game. Hunters is a spinoff that doesn't really count. Other M has been blasted out of existence.

[Tasty]

I can't believe Rare fucked the series up so bad.

Well, I can believe it because Rare is mostly terrible, but still. No wonder Nintendo wanted to dump them on MS.

My opinion:

Original Metroid  -
Metroid II - half-
Super Metroid -
Metroid Prime -
Metroid Fusion -
Metroid: Zero Mission -
Metroid Prime 2 - 
Metroid Hunters - 
Metroid Prime 3 -

Metroid: Other M I haven't played but it looks like another Metroid game.

In my opinion, I'd say it's the most overrated Nintendo franchise, partly because more than half the games are average or alright. It coasts on the fumes of like only a few legitimately great games, which while fantastic, have been eclipsed by Castlevania in Symphony of the Night and Aria of Sorrow. The one thing Metroid managed to do better than Castlevania was a classic 3d entry.

[etiolate]

All the games were good up until Other M. Just because not every release was god-tier it's not consistent? I don't buy that. I had issues with Fusion and Echoes, but still enjoyed them.

And Super/ZM > Metroidvania.

Don't you dare say that to me, you snot-nosed little punk. Did you go to the midnight launch of the Gamecube and wait patiently for hours for Luigi's Mansion? No, you didn't. Did you live through the Dark Days of the N64, where months would go by without a new game coming out? Did you play Super Mario 64 for an entire year because that was the only thing to play? Don't you ever talk to me about Nintendo. I will break you in half and then kick the pieces into the corner.

I only had three games for the life of my launch N64, so I'd say yeah.

Nope, didn't play Mario 64 until the DS version.
