“recommit to God .”

The last 5-10 hours or so of mass effect 3.

While the game has pacing issues up the wazoo, one thing that game excells at is yanking the rug from under you.

My biggest moment of fear was in the hive. When you ge tthe flamethrower, the game becomes easier to deal with, because you know you can force the alien away. I would often intentionally trigger it to spawn…

And then you get to the sequels, which are so obsessed with outdoing the OT on paper that they utterly destroy the concept of scale.

Star for the turning point reference. God, that game just vanished didn’t it? I sometimes wonder if the devs ever get mad that machinegames would come along, makes a better version of essentially the same story 5 years later to great success.

I don’t know how anyone could consider the book a satire of anything, but people who call it fascist are either mandelaing in bits from the movie or are straight up illiterate. The book literally devotes multiple chapters right in the fucking middle of the action to having an author avatar step up and go on a long…

I think the main issue with the film is that (like pretty much every Verhoeuven work) it wants to use satire as carte blanche to depict things that the director unironically likes but hide under the umbrella of irony. Doesn’t matter what the subject matter is, Paul verhoeven usually finds a way to include ultra…

Carter Grayson>>>>>>>>>Tommy Oliver.

Fight me.

Unless you are talking about that weird future dream story form late in the series that has zero impact on the main plot, you are thinking about the vision from book 7.

There are 50+books and while they do end up winning, nothing about it is clean.

I mean the first book has on screen cannibalism and the entire series is about slavery so they kindof start out dark. But I get what you mean. Honestly,you’d be hard pressed t find a modern YA series that is as consistently as dark and adult as animorphs gets. It’s essentially BSG masquerading as a kid’s book. I have…

I don’t really see the state of emergency thing as a bad thing. If this was a viable path he would have started with it. Best case scenario for him it gets tied up with the million+ challenges to it and goes nowhere.

I had no idea that warframe did that. I know that bungie got in trouble for selling limited use shaders in D2.

That’s another thing I should mention. You apparently earn coin at a pretty decent clip, especially if you do bounties and take part in the alliance system, and you get a bundle when you start the game and every time you level up.

There are actually a few characters voiced by comedy stars in the game. Jack mcbrayer plays the bartender.

Not exactly on topic but related.

I mean, it is essentially a no name star trek...

Well that’s an exaggeration. There are multiple games series whose selling point is their gore systems. RDR2 has the time and resources to have realtime horse testicle shrinkage and photorealistic animal skinning. MK11's marketing campaign is dominated by images of baraka eating a dude’s brains. Sony literally…

So I guess we’ve just decided to overlook that whole spousal abuse thing ?

I feel like the gaming industry needs to actually have an internal discussion about how it handles sex, because it has a really schizoid relationship with the topic.

Bull. Shit.
