Oh, shut the fuck up.

I've probably made more friends (actual ones) since coming here last year than you've made in your whole life.

I see nothing wrong with that besides destiny being higher than it should be.

Pigeons.

When I played Hatoful I did dramatic readings of all the bird-boys dialog.

I bet no one even talks in Destiny, or I can't hold my nose and sound like a dweeb while reading their lines like I did for Nageki if they do.

For real, I'd go straight (though in game Lesbo?) for Azami.

There's a theological justification for the phrase (قدر‎) that I won't get into because no one gives a shit and I'm a little rusty on my Islamic theology and don't want to get Shaka'd or something, but in an everyday sense it's basically a phrase you say all the time in conversation when you mention that you need to do something or you expect something to happen soon to seem humble and / or pious.

When you want to congratulate someone you say something similar for the same reason. (ما شاء الله) - Roughly something like, "Allah willed it."

kagari speaks to s-e reps and has contacts within s-e usa. the woman has interviewed kitase. why are you surprirsed or shocked someone who has interview kitase would have contacts within the company, given the connected nature of games writing and game development? that said, s-e reps aren't the most...chivalrous these days and aren't too big on good communications with smaller press fansites. So more than likely, it's someone she knows or met, likely at a conference like E3. But again, she has a very successful FF fansite and writes for an rpg fansite. kags has contacts. The kicker is that she's not the only one who does. as said, the media - even non-media in certain cases - and game developer are like peas and carrots, so a lot of the information kags gets is usually something a few people around these parts know about as well. the information isn't that tight sealed usually, so stop acting like it is.

I wouldn't know about that. But her massive muscled "roided up" look in VF4 seems "off" to me in perspective to women athletes. I know that may be slightly sexist... just didn't look "believable?"

Her abs are studpidly narrow. That's what always bothered me most.

Eh, I wouldn't say they're too far off. Her VF5 incarnation is actually kinda believable in being a military woman. I think the reason the abs/stomach are narrow is due to her "stance" system in VF5 so they have to make the sideways view noticeable for offensive/defensive stances.

Is Destiny the beginning of the end for videogames?

Game is hyped to hell and back
Ridiculously large budget
Released with no reviews
Released in incomplete form
+
Reviews are mediocre

= Game that still sells like hotcakes

Only money matters I guess. Just fucking try money at the game at it will all work out.

I need further help to understand video game fans and why they say the things they do.

1) one editor states he's "not into Mario games"
2) says he was two when DKC1 launched (he wasn't two. He was 4. How do I know this?)
3) they got the launch year wrong. They said 92. It was 94. Hell you get a big "1994 NINTENDO" screen everytime you turned the game on!
4) seldomly ever used the run button while playing and spends the video trying to see how he can fling Diddy to reach higher places forgetting that wasn't introduced until DKC2. They couldn't bother to look for the control scheme or release date in google.
5) one of them calls Diddy "Dwindly" or some crap like that.
6) they thought a good idea for honoring DKC1 and Nintendo was reminiscing of Myst and Diablo instead.
7) I'll paraphrase: "what are you trying to spell?... Oh KONG! I get it now. This isn't so much a IGN plays DKC1 but a IGN figured out DKC1".

A complete disservice and a lack of respect to such an incredible classic.

How dare people have opinions different from mine, not like Nintendo's Super Mario Brothers video game series, not have played DKC1 since they were children (after all, you should be playing this game every few years or even annually), and not show proper respect for a game as utterly special like DKC1.  You know, the game that assisted Nintendo in winning the 1994 Console Christmas Season Battle according to my favorite book "Game Over: How Father Nintendo Conquered the World"/"Game Over: Press Start to Continue".  They should've seen that Donkey Kong Country: Exposed video that every Nintendo Power subscriber got, but they clearly didn't going by how they disrespected one of the most classic video games of all time.  They didn't even know the release year, and therefore, now I know they're besmirching the reputation of this fine video game.

Shouldn't DKC1 be everyone's childhood like mine?  How are they talking about Diablo and Myst like they were their childhood games?  No one played those games since they should've been playing things on the only two consoles that existed at the time: Nintendo's console and Sega's console!

GAWD.


...that's how I read that post because jesus, dude, calm the fuck down.  It's just video games, not your life's story or United States international policy.

What did anyone expect from the handheld version?

[Dennis]

The fuck are you on about, Dennis? This happens like almost every year. You don't remember WatchDogs? 

Like anyone outside of the really sad "hardcore gamers" cares about IGN or Gamespot reviews. The majority watch PewDiePie videos 

Watch_Dogs is a solid 8/10 game if you like open-world games. And it was more like anti-hype with that game due to the graphical downgrade compared to the initial E3 reveal.

[Mr. Nobody]

I love DKC1, but it's NOT a great platformer. The Retro Studios ones are actually better by quite a large margin.

Rare games are by far the most overrated games. Play it past being a kid to find out how boring and kiddy(yes, that cliche complaint) they are.

It's the same as the Wii U game. Characters and all. The only difference is stages and like one exclusive mode to each.

Oh.

I never really paid much attention to it because i'm just planning on getting the console version.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Yes, Destiny is clearly the first time an overhyped big budget game has come out to shitty critical reception and sold like hotcakes.

The first game I remembered that was like that was State of Emergency for the PS2.  It was the first big Rockstar release after GTA3 and because GTA3 was such a hit, there was a ton of hype around this garbage game.  So it sold shitloads and was #1 on the chart for that month.  Then once people figured out how shitty it was, it dropped like a sack of bricks.  Maybe it accumulated into some ungodly number of copies sold, Segata might know.

I dunno.  Last I saw, people were praising that version to high heaven and played the 5-character demo for hours and hours even though they conceded that the circle pad wasn't very ergonomic. 

Watch_Dogs is a solid 8/10 game if you like open-world games. And it was more like anti-hype with that game due to the graphical downgrade compared to the initial E3 reveal.

If we were on the 7-10 grading system, sure.  I felt like it was more like a 6.5 or a generous 7 due to the main missions mostly sucking and the best part of the game essentially being the mobile game-esque minigames.

I love DKC1, but it's NOT a great platformer. The Retro Studios ones are actually better by quite a large margin.

Rare games are by far the most overrated games. Play it past being a kid to find out how boring and kiddy(yes, that cliche complaint) they are.

I never liked the DKC games, but I haven't played DKC3 and I thought Tropical Cocktail Freeze was okay and one of the better DKC games I'd played (and that wasn't Rare, so... eh).  I thought the hitboxes were pretty terrible, the bosses were boring, the games had weird jumps/physics/collision, Rare tries to remedy their oddball game design by giving you lots and lots of lives, etc.  I think the music is okay with a lot of standout tunes, but they aren't overall as cohesive as I'd like the soundtracks to be.

Totally agreed on Rare, though (haven't played Banjo games).  Goldeneye and Perfect Dark were what I thought were decent games back then, and they still are, kind of, if we only look at consoles.  But there have been better even before that and ever since.  Going back and playing those can feel awkward. 

Also, fuck Battletoads.

[ToxicAdam]

Sounds like something someone who never owned a gamecube would say.

[Rufus]

I liked the GC controller, even though it was very flawed. Bad for cross platform titles, made for small hands (can't comfortably cup/grip the horns with big hands), tiny d-pad, c-stick, slippery main stick (the stupid circles have the exact opposite effect they're supposed to have ), Z-button felt extremely stiff, 'triggers' were uncomfortable and had the stupid double-purpose as triggers AND buttons, which is just all around stupid...

[Take My Breh Away]

The N64 controller was fine for every Nintendo game, actually great. It just sucked with FPS cause lol consoles at the time. And yes, Doom >>>>>>>> Perfect Dark.

I will say I'm surprised Microsoft never really capitalized on having those Rare franchises. Then again, Rare is very much to blame on that. PDZ, Nuts & Bolts and Conker Reloaded were a really bad sequel, big change nobody wanted at the time, and exposed the game as not being that great for people who never played them individually.

Viva Pinata was sort of a success, I think. But whatever, they're stuck in Kinect hell now.

They were dragged out of Kinect hell with the recent management change and all their recent job postings are looking for people with experience in Unreal Engine 4/CryEngine. I hope they get out of their funk.

Also behead those who insult Viva Pinata.

Hey, here's an idea. Maybe we've just sorta seen it all and what we need isn't the same game in prettier colors. Maybe we want something different. Problem is, that requires the ability to experiment with things that might fail and pinning 20% of your company's value on a single game is not conducive to experimentation. Maybe smaller games?

These smaller games already exist. The problem is that they don't have multi-million dollar ad campaigns or the backing of a legion of console fanboys fueling the hype train. Gaming is pretty fucking awesome right now actually.

mobile has lots of innovative, refreshing, smaller games and gamers shit on the platform. I don't think gamers want smaller games aside from the occasional indie title. Let's be honest, if they wanted smaller games they wouldn't have bought an XBO or ps4.

Personally TitanFall delivered for me it was a MP only FPS game that feels great to play with a core of 7 great maps and a nice learning curve.

Destiny from what Bungie promised in all the PR stuff has been very,very lacking from what I've been playing this week.

I think this video sums up what I thought Destiny would be vs the reality

Judging from NPD's I'd have to say 'more of the same' is where most of the money is. Anyone who cries about a lack of innovation but ignores PC and iOS only has themselves to blame.

Doom holds up better than 99% of FPS's ever made. Especially something that was so much a product of its time mechanically and design wise like PD.
