Pretty sure no one beats the number of absolutely insane posts HolyBaikal has made over the years. There are some weird fucks on GAF, but she (I think that's what they identify as?) takes the cake.

don't think anyone will top that lycanthrope loon who seethed with hate whenever he thought of cows and was annoyed that he'd have to buy a dog if he wanted to kick it to death.

wow wat

holybaikai posts are eerie.  If they're not bullshit, that's a person who seems to need lots of help but isn't getting it.  if they are bullshit, then i tip my hat.

The problem with Squiddy and many GAF gaming/OT posters is that he is more into reactions than conversations. People don't post news stories on GAF to discuss them - they post for reactions, many of which are pretty standard/predictable. You'll have a group of people who get upset when negative stories are posted, you have a group that posts gif reactions, posters who quote gif reactions, drive by trolls/shit posts/etc.

The Bore doesn't really have much of that. Sure we troll and post Coli emotes but most of the active threads here are...people talking and shooting the shit. We don't have many reaction threads about news stories or events. Most of our threads are similar to some of the community threads on GAF: posters actually talking to each other.

Ultimately Squiddy has no interest in discussing anything, he wants reactions - to his links and to his forced personality. Even the worst Bore posters eventually became decent by moving away from shock posts and joining in conversations. Squiddy is incapable of having a normal conversation, all he wants is a spotlight.

That's the down side with a high traffic board like NeoGAF.  Posting a thoughtful and nuanced opinion is a surefire way of getting ignored.  So if people want to be known on GAF, they have to crank up the hyperbole and try to be an internet personality.  With The Bore, there are just a couple dozen regulars so being some wacky zany guy who really loves Sony won't get you very far because those types of people are annoying as fuck in real life.

All you people in school or without full time work and responsibilities or a SO will one day see these games as a godsend. I just can't do these 15-20 hour games anymore. It took me 4 and a half months to find the time to beat TLoU.

If I saw three films in a theater back to back, or purchased 3 blurays, the cost and runtime would be the equivalent play time/dollar ratio spent on this game.

3 theater tickets = $65 for 5-6hrs of content (that you can't replay)

3 new Blurays = $50-$60 for 5-6hrs of content

New Game that 5-7 Hours long = $60

I dont understand the uproar over "short" games, when the cost/content ratio is the same for other newly released media. Especially when, like I mentioned before, a life full of responsibilities prevents me from playing games that are any longer then 5 to 7 hours.

That's not a knock against those titles. It's just the shorter bite-sized chunks are pretty much what some people/older gaming base want because they can feel like they completed them faster than the longer ones.

*shrug* I've always just played what I've wanted to play, even when my schedule was crazy.  There's no way I'd play a short cinematic setpiece game just because it's short.  Those posters that hail a game for being easy and short strike me as people who compulsively want to "win" or something.  Which is fine...until they come after franchises I like, which hasn't happened too much, thankfully.

but I also buy way more than I play, so I've got a nice wall of shame going.

i dunno, look at brothers, that's short and cinematic and is all the better for it. the difference is it never takes you out of the game in order to tell its story, entwines the narrative with the game's mechanics, isn't full of film school freshman dialogue and is over before it runs out of ideas.

a developer can make a prescribed linear game which delivers a narrative without resorting to CD-i trash punctuated by occasionally being a shitty shooter.

There is nothing wrong with short games or long games. It all depends on the experience, the cost, and the value to the individual.

That being said GAF is normally all about knocking short linear set-piece games. That is until the short linear set-piece game has a defense force for platform exclusivity reasons.

This always happens there. There is always a set line of thinking on a subject until a platform exclusive does the same thing and then suddenly everybody is like no way. That thing we all said a month, a year ago, etc is bullshit!

Brothers isnt the kind of thing im looking for in gaming at all to begin with, so i guess when it comes to finding game+narrative balance, im not too qualified.  My taste is all over the place with that stuff in gaming and id almost rather go for ironic fun over finding a legitimately good narrative.  Im more discerning with other media. I wont read a trashy book or watch many throwaway  movies or shows, but somehow, some crappy jrpgs make the cut lol

But above all, if its 20 hours of good gameplay, ill take that an hour a night for 20 days vs a 6 hour polished set piece to finish for the sake of finishing.

the five stages of grief in the order game stanning

denial -"anyone completing this game in 5 hours is obviously just rushing through the game and playing on easy"

anger - "if anyone rates this low they better go back and rate other TPS games just as poorly!" "anyone uploading gameplay footage is breaking the release and doing it for clicks or an anti-sony agenda" "<insert vague mealymouth bias assertion directed at anyone posting a negative impression>"

bargaining - "maybe the sequel will fix everything"

depression -  "i'm just too busy to invest my time for lengthy games anyway"

acceptance - "well the devs set out to give me a short, cinematic, 100% linear experience with excessive handholding and QTEs and if that's exactly what I get then I'm happy"

The Order is so bad.

I'm 90 minutes into the playthrough posted on YT that clocks in at around 5 hours and this is some boring shit. The people defending this game are gonna be really mad that they wasted their time defending something this generic.  The mental hoops people are going through to rationalize their purchase of a game sight unseen is pathetic, to say the least.

That's the down side with a high traffic board like NeoGAF.  Posting a thoughtful and nuanced opinion is a surefire way of getting ignored.  So if people want to be known on GAF, they have to crank up the hyperbole and try to be an internet personality.  With The Bore, there are just a couple dozen regulars so being some wacky zany guy who really loves Sony won't get you very far because those types of people are annoying as fuck in real life.

I've long thought the basic web forum format, with 1-3 flat lists of flat threads that get auto-bumped on posts, just inherently doesn't scale to the size of GAF's membership. If I were in charge I'd try to completely rethink the structure and interface of the forum and how posting and threads work, etc.

Everyone would hate it because everyone always hates conceptual redesigns like that. But I'd do it anyway.

gaf impressions™ official op yesterday:

The Order 1886 is for lovers of old fashioned single player experiences. For those who want to see strong efforts in storytelling-focused games make a comeback. It's a highly curated museum piece for old-timey, story driven videogames, and if you cherish having a collection of finely produced games, then that's the value of The Order in a nutshell. If you're excited for a strong new IP with endless possibilities and want to see RAD put out new iterations of this level of quality, then give them the nod. I already have.

Eh, don't feel bad. They made one of the few things the suits are willing to dish out tens of millions for and I'm sure they gave it their best shot, all things considered. Live by the AAA, die by the AAA.
They're as trapped on this path as the dweebs who think stuff like that is the height of modern video game entertainment.

It sounds like from those posts that they had a general and somewhat detailed concept for the world but no idea what to do with it really. Kinda like how Ass Creed sorta went insane after the first game planted all the seeds of the "world."

Dishonored has a bit of that problem.

I was kinda interested in the Order back when it was first revealed, not because of the game itself but cause RAD made some cool God of War games.   :fbm Then more footage came out and I realized that game wasn't for me. I don't have that much shooter experience under my belt, but even I could tell that what little game play the Order had in the trailers was as vanilla TPS as it could be. Eat Lead: Return of Matt Hazard looked more exciting back in 2003.

PC gamers can be such a pathetic bunch lol.

It must make them so mad that some people actually like mobile games.

Honestly it does make me a bit sad to see all the kids in my family, pretty much only playing f2p shit on iPads and such. Not that I care about them or how they use their time, but I want to still play some vidya games every now and then, and not have the whole market disappear to that.  :obama

Knack, Kaz, Beanie, LBP, Tearaway, Gravity Rush, and The Order avatars everywhere

a telling sign of how "strong" PS exclusives have been the past couple years

bloodborne, please save me

I'm still shocked people even give a shit about LBP anymore.

Well I didn't play LBP2, so I would be interested in playing it again sometime soon. I quite enjoyed the first.

Now Knack, that game annoys me just by looking at it. I haven't tried it, that Knack character alone is enough for me to know I never want to play it. and why does people have it as avatars. Fucking GAF

Also, Otrebor Nightmarecoat is the most bizarre gaf poster of all time. I'm sure that at the very least he was fucking his cousins and goats down in Mexico.

Otrebor was sensational. His fat hiding penis thread.  :neogaf

A liittle dead dog's vagina. My friends cut it out and agreed to pay for a sandwich afterwards. I was a very poor 12 year old boy.

In my country they just kill the dog, tore it to pieces,cook it and sell it in side these deep fried flour made balls called rellenos. Theyre fucking incredible. You have to be careful though, one time I got one with a long, fat hair on it and puked my ass out.

I know how you feel op. My 13 year old cousin was in love with me. I knew that because my family was teasing me because they saw her crying with a photo of me because she had not seen me in a week and later cause she told me. I was 22 at the time, just out of a relationship and depressed. At a new years eve i was alone in the balcony, sort of drunk with tears in my eyes then all of suddenly she kissed me and I kissed her back. We started feeling each other up but suddenly we heard someone coming. It wasnt her it was my aunt. We stopped. My cousin always visits us once a week so for the following months we would sneak around to make out and I teached her how to pleasure me. I always asked her if she wanted to do this and she said yes. It took a while for her to let me eat her too. We were happy just being with one another.

One day I came to a realization that this was wrong. I explained to her how much I loved her but that I was her cousin and she was a beautiful girl that should have a boyfriend outside her family. She cried and said she wouldnt go away so I started being distant with her. She texted me constantly, began cutting herself and began fighting because she thought I had found someone else. I saw how much it was bothering her so I began to be closer to her as a friend. She began to hate me. Everytime I went to talk to her she wouldnt respond like she was erasing me from existence. I thought she had found someone else and even though it made me feel angry It was for the greater good. Believe me when I say the air is not right between us ever since. I am a piece of shit. I fucked up her life. All because I am weak.

Otrebor Nightmarecoat, have you ever been molested by another relative? Did you like tonguing a puppy's asshole?

Other than my sister, my grandma washed my penis when I was like 5, but I dont think thats bad. I didint like licking the anus. I just did it once and was over it.




Remember him coming back from a long ban, just to post restrooms filled with feces everywhere, dead pigs and such in the pics that make you laugh thread.

baardhimself still wins as  the most bizarre poster though. The apparent random rage posts from him.

Don't get me wrong: You're a free (wo)man and able to do what you want. But IIRC you came out as transgender(?), and OPA doesn't seem like the place that would go over well. I dunno why anyone would post there with that sort of "hate." Then again, same for the subreddit thing.

Quote from: PeakPointMatrix
All you people in school or without full time work and responsibilities or a SO will one day see these games as a godsend. I just can't do these 15-20 hour games anymore. It took me 4 and a half months to find the time to beat TLoU.

If I saw three films in a theater back to back, or purchased 3 blurays, the cost and runtime would be the equivalent play time/dollar ratio spent on this game.

3 theater tickets = $65 for 5-6hrs of content (that you can't replay)

3 new Blurays = $50-$60 for 5-6hrs of content

New Game that 5-7 Hours long = $60

I dont understand the uproar over "short" games, when the cost/content ratio is the same for other newly released media. Especially when, like I mentioned before, a life full of responsibilities prevents me from playing games that are any longer then 5 to 7 hours.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=152203289&postcount=580

 :bow The Order :bow2


Or you could play the 20 hour game for the same amount of time you would play the 6 hour one each night, until you beat it?   :derp

While true: I don't think most people want to spend 2-3 months on a 20-40 hour title due to job/obligations. I have like 10+ titles I need to play off Steam
spoiler (click to show/hide)
Yes, I know I'm stupid for buying them before I'm done with stuff
[close]
but I generally will boot up Battlefield or whatever shooter I have because it's faster, I can play it in small chunks, and feel like I'm "progressing" faster than those longer JRPG/RPG titles.

That's not a knock against those titles. It's just the shorter bite-sized chunks are pretty much what some people/older gaming base want because they can feel like they completed them faster than the longer ones.

You're right. This is what kept me from getting into The Wire. 60 hours of content just to finish the series? Fuck that noise. This is why I stick to 6 episode British series, or shows that were canceled after one season. I feel like I make more progress and can finish them faster.

That's not my point and you know it, Mr. Smartass. The thing is: Longer games take more time investment than the TV shows. TV shows can be seen and have recaps of "previous on..." to where you can go 1-2 months without watching it and still "get it." If you drop a JRPG/RPG for months and forget about the story and what you were doing, it's nearly impossible to get back onto the story and gameplay/etc.

Plus, you can't exactly "binge watch" a 20 hour game in the same 20 hours it would take a TV show due to TV show formats being 30-45 mins a pop versus the gameplay/filler/etc of a game.

So The Order puts gameplay on the back burner in order to be a cinematic, story-driven experience about an ancient order of knights hunting werewolves in Victorian London, but it doesn't even tell a good storyline?

Personally, I think it harkens back to Metal Gear Solid in terms of pacing, to Killzone 2 for its gunplay theatricality, and to Vanquish, for its replayability.

I guess it depends on the game. Generally I play about 2-3 hours a night when I get a new game. I'd finish The Order in two days.

I'm playing Resident Evil Remaster right now, and I think I'm at about 9 hours, just having cleared the cabin. Probably another 4-5 hours left. I'm taking my time, solving the puzzles without a guide, and a length of 10-15 hours is just right.

5 hours is just so fucking short. That isn't even enough time for the systems to evolve, for new weapons to be introduced, or for really fuck awesome endgame levels.

Well, like I said before: Is the game fun? Because if it is it can be a 12-hour campaign a la Uncharted and I'll be happy as hell. If it's 30-80 hours and still fun, I'm game. The problem is that some people put value on the hours-to-complete without asking the "yeah, but is it fun?" But I can't really fault the "short games are better for me" crowd because those people may be working 35-40 hours a week come home and simply want to have a "movie-game" like experience a la the Order or Uncharted and are completely fine with that gameplay. Whereas, to get the same "experience" from something like Final Fantasy, you need to invest a week or so depending on your schedule and how busy you are.

Like, I got Persona Q back in... November? and I'm still on the third dungeon even on the easiest difficulty because I've got a few other things (and playing FPS as that's my primary genre and not really a handheld person) going on to where it's taking me longer than say, someone like Demi who's primary genre is J/RPG's and willing to sink a lot of time into them in a "shorter amount of time"/longer play sessions.
