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.

Oh please. If Pokemon GO players didn’t have the attention span of gnats for this game they would have lost their entire userbase from the negative reactions to... Just about every newsworthy thing that has happened with the game so far.

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

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.

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.

My parents have a Windstream 6 Mbps down connection. I’m not about to invite 100 people over for an online LAN party and then blame Windstream for not being fast enough because I was too dumb to account for the traffic my connection would receive.

For the Kentucky Derby they pay the 3 major carriers to come out and bring extra equipement that does something to help handle the load of users in the small area. It looks like Niantic didn’t bother to do that or book a park that was big enough to handle the amount of tickets sold.

I’m surprised they didn’t plan and truck in a huge wifi network setup with hundreds of broadband connections for this event.

If Niantic are responsible for this event, then it is their responsibility, by definition. You don’t plan an event like this and charge admission without being damn sure that what you’re promising is possible, especially since, as you say, US carriers are infamous for not being able to provide such service. That…

*she. no need to make this about something its not. I have no respect for mauer myself but you should at least respect the gender someone prefers to be called me.
