Digital Foundry's Best Gaming Tech of 2017

Keep in mind it’s more of a personal list and not a collection of AAA games. It also doesn’t include patched enhanced games - so something like Gears 4 wouldn’t be included.

Lastly, it’s limited by what I’ve played. I have not touched Battlefront 2 so it wouldn’t be here.

It’s ultimatey just a list for fun - not some amazing award or anything. It’s about things that interested me and the other guys from a tech perspective.

So...don’t get too angry that stuff like GT Sport, Uncharted and Battlefront 2 aren’t on the list. That’s what I’m saying.

Dark1x is such a shady cunt.

All the design threads just feel like a meta war

"Let me make this thread to tell everyone how much I hate this design"

"I can't believe he hates that design, let me make a thread to tell everyone how much I love this design"

"I cant believe he loves that design, let me make a thread to tell everyone...."

[Leadbelly]

I reckon someone should post this:



Then mention how the proportions are just perfect, especially from that angle.

It's hilariously passive aggressive. You can just feel how either side just wants to scream either "TAKE THAT, YOU PRUDE" or "YOU DISGUSTING SEXIST".

The problem with Navalny while he is strongest opposition to Putin and still alive is that he is a racist nationalist and would be bad for minorities (specifically those that follow Islam) for his hatred of it.

There is better opposition in Russia that is fighting hard every day for democracy but it's really difficult due to the Kremlin's control. Navalny has a very big following though, the largest threat Putin has ever faced. However Navalny is no democrat but a populist for change, he has sympathised with neo nazis in Russia too, and unfortunately the youth that support him don't care as long as Putin is out which is their main concern.

Navalny wants to stop things like Muslims celebrating Eid on the Moscow streets (which hundreds of thousands of Muslims in Russia do). Russia has a very large Muslim population from various ethnic groups and it would be bad for them with Navalny in power. He wouldn't tolerate this if he was in power:

He's making a great argument for Navalny. Hundreds of thousands of religious people blocking off streets, stopping traffic, impeding others in their daily routines, etc. sounds like a pain in the ass. I would be highly annoyed if this happened in my city.

I also got into a protection racket with a few people who had unlocked their jedi. At that time, it was insanely hard to get a jedi and they could be hunted down by other players who were Bounty Hunters, leading to perma-death or huge XP penalties. The catch was that only a couple of Bounty Hunters could have the same jedi's mission. So, I log in with Bounty Hunter accounts and grab the missions so that other Bounty Hunters couldn't. You could then hang onto those missions until the server restarted. Effectively, the jedi could then go about their grind without worrying about Bounty Hunters. I was charging $25 a day per jedi "protected" for about 15 mins worth of work every week or so. Like I said - best job I ever had.

Only life changing thing was an improvement to my vocabulary thanks to RPGs and me learning about nukes from Metal Gear Solid.

And driving in Grand Theft Auto made the transition to real life driving easier, I'm sure.

Now, when it comes to videogames, I feel like they surpassed what the Lord of the Rings is trying to do.

I like grey area in my media from the morality perspective. I really feel that Witcher 3 surpasses LOTR in every conceivable way. I know that it's an unfair comparison, but two are not even close for me.

Sounds like Cindi tbh.

Nah, the entire trilogy is boring AF. I think i fell asleep during every single one of them.

EDIt: and this has nothing to do with me trying to be a contrarian. I've gotten that when i've said LOTR trilogy blew ass. It did. I can respect it from a technical standpoint, a visual standpoint but Peter Jackson has always been overhyped. All his movies were mediocre. LOTR is no different.

Video games right now are nothing more than toys meant to make money though, with very few exceptions. Let's not act like it would be in the same caliber as films or literature if it didn't have some sexy characters lol

Real talk. Striving to be film or literature when you're a different medium is stupid anyway.

And this year kind of shows that the film industry can be more toxic, sexist  and a  collection of dumb  corporate decisions than the game industry is accused to be

Listen, you all need to stop gaslighting me with these problematic posts made in bad faith. Frankly, you all are starting to sound like Russian trolls with your disingenuous defense of literal Nazis. This thread is becoming so gross, I can't even. Is that really the hill y'all want to die on? If you are going to keep pushing your "both sides" Bernie-bro whataboutisms, you're gonna need to show some receipts, otherwise it's just bad optics. The bore is the cheeseburger shark of 2017.

[nudemacusers]

I am not a "cool" person. I am not above attraction to fictional characters. And I honestly don't relate to anyone on this community or anywhere who acts as though they are above this or doesn't develop these feelings.

I feel almost like there is a peer pressure on some sites like this one to not openly feel this way, which I don't get at all. I don't think that being eccentric is something to be ashamed of, nor do I think that being attracted to fictional or even cartoonish characters is something at all unusual. I encourage people to be open minded to deviance in general, as long as something at all isn't hurting anyone or reflects any kind of desire to do harm, then it should be accepted and tolerated. That includes the whole "waifu" and "husbando" thing that some internet communities frown upon. Some even become downright bullying about.

Flat out, no.

I can understand not liking it. But "boring" isn't a good substitute for "it wasn't for me." It condenses a 1,000 page book into 12 (or 6 if you don't have the extended editions) movie/film. And the film is way more solid than the book, IMO.

fuck you too timu

[El Babua]

The movies are great, but never came close to matching what Tolkein-Sama expressed in his work.

[nudemacusers]

The books are great if you collected monster manuals for tabletop role playing games and created a geocities index (in the form of html tables with web ring links at the bottom) for crpgs you played when you were a kid.

[agrajag]

I only really like the first movie a lot. The other ones have decent moments, but a lot of Peter Jackson fuckery. The first one mostly sticks to the script with minimal Peter Jackson fuckery.

[nudemacusers]

Now look at me!

Apparently it’s a stereotype that Asian women can shoot inserted ping pong balls out of their vaginas? Never heard of it myself.

Yeah I fucking hated that too. ASOIAF > LOTR imo

But I read the LOTR books as a teen so maybe I just had less patience for it then. So I really wanna give it another shot. The Hobbit is REALLY good though. I have no idea what happened going from Hobbit (a brisk, fun read) to LOTR (the forward of The Princess Bride comes to mind).
