I was at a function for work and had a chance to talk to the producer of LA Noire shortly after they annocued the game. I asked if they had plans to have a black and white mode. He gave me a bit of an inquisitive look and said something like ‘hmm no actually , but that’s a neat idea , I’m gonna take that back to the…

I maintain this would have been much better game if they didn’t grade the player’s questions and responses and use the jazz-note cues to signal when you screwed up an answer. It would have been great if they just let the narrative unfold without a points system.

Why does “fun” have to be the point of every game? Is “fun” the point of every movie, or every piece of music?

Manhunt 2 was banned in the UK, and loads of games are censored to fuck in Germany. This isn’t solely a S.Korean thing.

My kids sneak up on me all the time. They get a kick out of me jumping and screaming. Normally they stomp around the house but if they want a drink suddenly they are quiet and can teleport like they are an Angel Statue.

I understand why people like these things, but similar to you I think I like the idea more than the execution. The idea makes sense, but when it’s put into practice in a game I get quickly annoyed.

The cringe is real

Yeah, there are a lot of people on here that are being pretty much big d-bags, but in fairness, this person’s comment was at least a fairish criticism. I liked the book a lot, too.

For the same reason we comment on things that we like.

Normally I would agree; why waste the time and energy into reading and the commenting on a post about something you don’t even like? But it sounds like lightninglouie put in the time, read the book, and is sharing what sounds to me like a pretty valid criticism. I waffle back and forth between whether I want to read…

No stat for sexual frustration? Come on it is a Witcher game...that should take priority over food and water at least.

Just add all the stats from The Sims.

No realistic. There’s no lust bar, Geralt needs at least one fuck a night.

It’s called criticism, bb.

You just described a dystopia.

Yeah I never really got this. There’s an impossible amount to do in this game and on higher difficulties it’s not easy. I get ripped to shreds by wolves enough; I don’t want to worry about how hydrated I am when it happens.

I’m the exact opposite. I have no interest in keeping track of a bunch of mundane stuff while playing a game. Though, in this case, I’m not sure the food stuff would actually affect me that much. I was constantly eating/drinking to regain health in the game.

I prefer chugging ten beers over the course of a boss fight for healing. Stagger swagger.

Uh, yeah, actually that does sound like a dystopia to me.
