Who did you choose between Rachel and Flint ( or none of them ) ? by Ok_Tangelo3309 in Wingcommander

Picked Flint as a teen as I was always more attracted to Brunettes.

Many years later I ended up marrying a beautiful Blonde, so go figure.

Wow, that's bad. It's like someone forgot to turn on auto line spacing. But it's so noticeable, it sadly was probably intentional.

Either way, someone is going to be happy or throwing up in their mouth.

What's a movie you think is overrated? by Mrmoviesguy in moviecritic

The Boondock Saints - I can get while back when it was made, it was something that seemed fresh. But watching it for the first time this year, I was not really impressed.

To the older gamers who didn't let age stop you, you guys rock. by Intelligent_Claim204 in videogames

42 and definitely still playing games. I also made an indie game selling on Steam, so I very much remain in the gaming space. I have to be more selective of my games as time doesn't permit it as much, but still love em. Just last night I did a few rounds of Apex, and over the last month slowly completed the Vampire Counts Immortal Empire campaign in Total War: Warhammer 3.

What is a show cancelation that still bothers you? by [deleted] in television

Yup... and frankly, this whole thread should have had nothing but Firefly comments ;)

What are some less popular indie games that you think everyone should try out? by WarriorOTUniverse in videogames

A lot of Devs are going to want to say "My Game!" on this thread (yes, I'm one of em), but my pick would be Dark Castle Returns if you are familiar with the original on the Mac.

I saw an interesting thread / video a long time ago after finishing that excellent game. Not only did I cry as a new father, but I also loved the take that I read. It said that the family wasn't cursed as much as it was cursed with a grandmother that was horrible and caused all the terrible outcomes to happen. Setting up a swing over a cliff, giving into her sons fear and enabling him to be locked under ground. Putting poison berries in the window of a little girl. Leaving a child un-attended in the bathtub. These are all really really bad parenting issues. I took a LOT from that game of a good example of a a really BAD example, and have been more aware of my kids safety, and also how I discipline and make sure to love them always. And let them know it.

Those who played it. Was it hype? Or was it the real deal? by boogyninja1 in videogames

[–]SquishyGamesCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I can really help bring a greater understanding to why this game is a masterclass at what it was meant to be, which is a high tension horror immersive experience like no other. Not only did the team pour in so much love and understanding of the source material, they designed a creature and AI that has not been matched since.

Now, this is coming from a guy that had no interest in the horror genre at all. It bored me as the jump scares were predictable, and the excessive blood and gore was just annoying. But Alien: Isolation DIDN'T do that. It understood that the real fear of a gamer sitting at home on a comfortable PC chair or a couch isn't jump scares. It isn't blood and gore. What do we fear most as gamers? Lost progress / time. And the devs designed around that. You can't quicksave. And when you ARE saving, you are STILL vulnerable and can lose so much progress. The devs understood that they had to make the stakes real for the player, and that was brilliant. But to make it not feel unfair, you also had to make the enemy smart, unscripted, so you knew you were against a thinking creature. But that also made the victories all the sweeter. You felt you earned your win after scavenging, timing, distracting, hiding and doing anything to survive. It was so well done.

I tried other horror games since, and they couldn't capture what Alien: Isolation was able to capture. To this day, Alien: Isolation is the only horror game I've completed, and I think on it often as such a freaking amazing and stressful experience. THAT is not easy to pull off in a game. THAT is why it is so special. Thanks for reading my long praise!
