(meaning it can't do anything new or unique)
well, they could always go east...😏
the biggest problem these days is story often comes at the expense of gameplay, when gameplay is the most important element of a game.
i'll give two game franchises that are completely opposite in this regard; legacy of kain and katamari damacy. They're older games, but they illustrate the point well. kain is a truly facinating story, but the gameplay, while not awful, fails to hold attention in all but the later entries in the series.
katamari damacy ont he other hand, has this absolutely batshit insane story that feels like it was inspired by the same mind-altering substances that inspired the graphics, but the gameplay loop is simple, inuitive, and enjoyable(with a few notable exceptions in specialized levels), encouraging the player to grind for hours to achieve higher and higher scores.
yeah, but I've been around long enough that you can have two separate games in the same genre/style, and one's great, and the other sucks Dragonballs...
outside of journalists crapping on this game, is it actually any good?
all gameplay becomes repetitive after a while
well, there's repetitive and then there's repetitive... there are some games where you'll have millions of options to beat various enemies, but you figure out pretty quickly that spamming one or two combos kills pretty much everything in five seconds, and then there's others where things may be the same moves over and over, but you don't even notice because the developers actually hit on something that stays fresh throughout the combat loop.
and then there's games that fall somewhere in the middle.
that being said considering this is a gaming 'journalist' we're probably dealing with somebody whose "gamer cred" was they once played candy crush for fourteen hours straight
american exceptionalism
they waffle on the issue when it's convenient.
sidenote: personally, I've always liked the term but I always felt the formulation was wrong. Americans aren't just naturally better than everyone else, if anything, we have a duty to be better, to expect more from one another and demonstrate tot he world our way is better.
well, the problem is the voter base wants it to be true so they can be the white saviors that protect the poor, helpless minorities from the big, bad, evil, racist republicans, and assuage their white guilt for being closet racists...
right? christ I bought an apple ][e whent he school was getting rid of them, and I went around asking, and a dozen or so teachers gave me a shit ton of software and games for them...
Dunno how many horus I lost playing this snake clone called "viper" that had been ported from an IBM compatible...
that's the line they try to give... but a few years back, a reporter proved otherwise.
Well, there are a whole lot of people, especially people who live in rural communities, who don’t – there’s no Kinko’s, there’s no Office Max near them. People have to understand that when we’re talking about voter ID laws, be clear about who you have in mind and what would be required of them to prove who they are."
fucking christ, I had mercifully forgotten this tripe... Yes kamala, farmers have printers...and the internet. Hell, I lived in a town basically held up by a grain elevator, and we had fiber optic internet in the early 2000s. Granted it was shear luck that the fiber optic cable was being built right past (through? I dunno) the town, but shocking though it might be to big city sophisticates, rural folk can manage modern technology...
look up "push polling" and thank me later
...pretty sure he's been brain-dead for eighty plus, so... 🤷♂️
I don't care if somebody served or not, just don't lie about your service or lack thereof.
...That being said, there's been a long-running formula for career politicians, and one of the optional branches of that formula is some sort of military service.
Personally, I keep it simple; I want results, not platitudes.
...took her that long to realize her blowjobs aren't an incentive anymore?
he was a court freak, an entertaining, but ultimately unimportant person kept around because he was different enough from the local population to be novel.
doesn't help that the left pushed that line for almost a decade now...
but I'm assuming the line has more to do with the name, lol.
tell me about it. I can barely run ark on windows, but on fedora, I can run it with reasonably good graphics settings.
why I switched to KDE. yeah, it's a bit resource-heavy compared to cinnamon or MATE, but I'm familiar with it, and my god man...gnome sucks harder than kamala trying to imitate a kirby vaccum...
...kinda funny how the "pro-working-class" marxists all look down on the "wagies" innit?
...kinda like when the windows8 interface swarmed across all MS devices, even though users absolutely hated it?
yeah, that checks out...
...explains why it tries to hard to look like MacOX...
if you hit the three vertical dots, you can send feedback, I'm including a screenshot of my comment, but if the video gets enough "feedback," maybe we'll at least get a panic response.
wasn't really part of gamergate back in the day, pretty much disregarded like most people as some nonsense kerfuffle and moved on with my life.
started paying attention to this kinda stuff after the dreadful ghostbusters remake trailer dropped. Let's just say my eyes were opened and leave it at that...
I read the zoe post later, but after rereading it, I'm trying to decide if this chick is a straight up psychopath or if she has BPD (think amber heard for a more recent example...)
