“He’s the most bad-ass tree in video games...”

How about an action RPG with individual limb control during combat, fully customizable weapon crafting, and a dynamic class system that assigns you a class based on the skills you use? (Idea I’ve been kicking around forever but never had the skills/resources to actually make)

Red9 in Resident Evil 4, anybody? That powerhouse of a mauser saw me through my second playthrough without any other weapons except as absolutely necessary, and it melted everything it came across. It helped that it had heaps of ammo available, huge knockback, and minimal kick, even without the stock.

I think good exposition has to walk a middle ground between being missable and beating you over the head. Like, right between Kingdom Hearts and Dark Souls. Skyrim is pretty good about this; what you’re supposed to do and why is plain, you can talk to people for more background, and if you really want to know about…

Any other late 20s here having existential dread over how well this childhood earwig fits your life now?

*shows up to the raid with Onix* D-don’t laugh...

Why, back in my day, it was just the mouse and keyboard crowd laughing at the gamepad crowd and vice versa. You kids and your gyroscopes and room-scale VR... *grumpily goes back to Quake 3 private server*

My result says that Miyamoto-senpai will help me pick up my dropped books on the way to class, and the only classes I’m enrolled in right now are for AI programming and machine learning basics... does this mean Nintendo is going to get into AI?!

My lucky controller is a humble black Dualshock 2 that I’ve been rocking since release. I got the controller from my cousin along with a busted PS2, so I bought a USB adapter and the thing served me well in everything from Phantasy Star Online and Quake 3 up to The Witcher 3 and DmC. I still use it as a secondary…

No, but they make this

Next update: Goku, Megaman X, Metal Sonic, Chansey, and Richter Belmont.

I’m going to buy this book, and read it in front of my computer, with Unreal Engine open and a 6 pack next to me. It will be glorious.

If you want a cheap, full-featured controller you can use across platforms, look into the iPega 9023. I use mine for everything from Quake 3 to Guilty Gear, and I have yet to have any hardware troubles or hand cramps. The battery life is also great. My only real gripe is that the software support for Windows is…

If Alisa was made in the creator’s daughter’s image, maybe she just had knockers that big?

Floridian here, I can attest to this. I live in Clearwater, where it’s somewhat progressive - Pride City USA is right next door (St. Pete), and there are lower-income communities with all races living in harmony (albeit poor harmony) all over the map, but just a couple hours north, basically once you pass Orlando, it…

>tfw shit like this happens all the time

is It’s an instance of “I’ll take what I can get”. The Org13 gets minimal characterization because they’re essentially throwaway vessels for a running plotline across COM, Days, and 2. Still kinda disappointing, IMO, that we couldn’t see, for the most part, what makes them tick; instead, we were just told “they have…

Maybe not to understand, but to really appreciate the Org13 to the maximum possible. Also, the beginning of the game is far more poignant and striking once you’ve been through Days.

CoM, I guess, was a bit better in that regard, but it still didn’t give you that much due to the game’s short length and the limits of the GBA. Days was the franchise’s big chance to make everybody care about the Org13, and they blew it.

I letter-out a lot of acronyms for that exact reason, and GUI is a big one.
