Good deal. I totally see what you’re saying now. It’s funny we each came to the same conclusions but for different games! I guess it’s just that they’ve become so in depth and customizable that you can play with the settings until they become what you want; so the real thing is to find the game(s) targeted toward you…

Kaiba is so good! One of those series that sticks out as amazing and will never age.

Kemonozume was one of my favs ever. Tatami Galaxy was just too fast for me. I was trying to keep up with the reading and kept missing the animation. Prob the only anime I’ve had that problem with. Ping Pong was fantastic though.

Initially I thought Horizon 3 had better handling than NFS, but after unlocking more and more cars I found the differences between cars in NFS was much greater than the difference in Horizon 3. That’s probably because the races required more tuning in NFS (so it might be there in Horizon but I never found a need). In…

I meant have you played NFS Payback, the game you’re talking shit on.

Yeah I agree with you there, as the “tone” of that movie is pretty consistent while the subject matter/portrayal (serious/hilarious) is at odds. I just misread “blending two extremely different tones into a single tone” as something else. I actually tried to edit comment but i guess you cant do that?

So many whiny people! This looks fun. I like a variety of racing games and this def has a burnout takedown vibe. If it’s like the last NFS, this is just one of many modes. Who knows, maybe it’ll even have a crash mode or something!

The handling in the last game was great depending on how you tuned your car. The blind corners with traffic and inability to pause were my main complaints.

why? have you played it?

ah, i can see the disconnect there. usually I am disappointed by things that are in the trailer not being in the final film as much as I want (ie recent usa godzilla, pans labyrinth, transformer dinosaurs), but this time I got what I hoped for haha

i think “Now you’re a REAL boy Chappie” may have made it even better haha 

I don’t disagree with that at all, but recreating something real by merely putting aliens in the place of oppressed people and keeping the location and environment the same is def more hamfisted than either elisium or chappie.

You though Chappie was the hamfisted one? Not the one that used the subjugation of aliens by people in South Africa to represent the subjugation of people by people in South Africa?

The only part of your statement I disagree with is: “Once I gave up my expectations of what I thought Chappie WOULD be I enjoyed it for what it is”

So which is Dr Strangelove, an incoherent mess or a muddled streak of brown?

I imagine she’s a bit disenfranchised at that point. Remember how she was like “Oh the Germans are just corrupted by Aries and if I kill Aries they will become a peaceful people forever.” That framing was not an accident, it was to set up the fact that that issues like war are not nearly as black and white as they…

Oh good, it’s only been 6 months since Dirt 3 was a ps plus game, and now there’s another, worse looking rally game for ps plus...

The true counterpoint to this article:

Kinda like Steven Spielberg working on a film based on a Roald Dahl story.

if you use shazam you can then click a link to open in play music. just about as fast since you still have to open an app to get it to work. i found the shazam search to be faster and more accurate anyway.
