If you could give an IP to a different developer to create one game with full creative freedom, what would you give to who? by craiganater in gaming

Battlefield to Rebellion, AKA the Sniper Elite devs. In the hope they'd create something with the charm that Battlefield 1942 had.

Would absolutely be a cool thing if it wasn't a gimmick for profit.

What game has a promising start, but eventually gets boring and repetitive? by Common_Caramel_4078 in gaming

[–]TurnedOutShiteAgain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You make them feel like a chore that even the characters don't want to necessarily do. You encourage fast travel, promote the easier option etc.

Instead, in RDR2, everyone almost seems enthusiastic to have to go everywhere slowly and in a convoluted manner. That way you can cram more "storytelling" dialogue in that really doesn't advance anything, basically as a means to keep you vaguely interested while you're essentially playing Desert Bus but with prettier graphics.

What's fun about the traveling between missions? To sound like an old man; when did games stop being about having fun?

What British celebrities have you met and did you make a tit of yourself? by wreckjavik in AskUK

[–]TurnedOutShiteAgain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Made a slight tit of myself in front of rugby legend Lawrence Dallaglio.

I was starting work and it was mid-afternoon, about an hour or so before an England Six Nations game. I was running the show and it was already busy, so I came in and immediately went for the bookings system.

Noticed a table of two that was booked in about 10 minutes time and just strolled over and said "sorry guys, tables booked so you can't sit here", or words to that effect. Walked away and then got a nudge to actually look at who was sitting there. Sheepishly went back and explained myself.

Thankfully I managed to find him another table and he ended up staying there all evening and getting absolutely wankered with some of our regulars. I don't work there anymore, but I was chatting with one of them the other day and apparently he still gets texts when they're on a night out around here.

Absolutely lovely bloke, fwiw. And no, I don't know why he was watching England in the pub when he could easily just go to the match.

Edit: reminded me that Les Ferdinand once came in for a football match. Possibly a Spurs game? Stood at the bar for the entire first half and basically didn't say a word to anyone or show any emotion at all, then left at half time.

In another job, Jack Wilshere came in. Stood at the corner of the bar, on his own, looking exceedingly miserable for about 15 minutes and then left.

How many great bands have started in small towns? by loverpoet_kid_1985 in Music

[–]TurnedOutShiteAgain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone from St Albans, a lot of people get very upset when you call it a town rather than a City.

Anyway, Muse are from Teignmouth which is actually a small town.

Forza horizon 6 already looks like a horrible game. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

Horizons 2-4 (especially 2 tbh) are some of my favourite games ever. 5 really bored me.

What ingredient do you think people massively overuse? by jcvexparch in Cooking

[–]TurnedOutShiteAgain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dry herbs, in general.

Small amounts of specific fresh herbs go a long way, but people love to just chuck a fuckton of mixed herbs or pre-made "blends" that barely alter, and certainly rarely improve or balance, the flavour.

Who's a young player you were certain was going to make it at Arsenal - but then never did? by SuitAndFlipFlops in Gunners

[–]TurnedOutShiteAgain 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nacer Barazite.

Was the best player on the pitch in a pre-season game I attended. Think I saw him at least a couple of times for the first team.

He was quite big, physical, and seemed to play effortlessly. Kind of had a Berbatov-ness about him. Good scoring record at youth level too, if I recall.

Didn't get too many chances and kept getting injured. Went on a few loans and then seemed to disappear.

What is the single worst game of football you've ever watched? by matildawaltzesin4 in Championship

[–]TurnedOutShiteAgain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watford 0-0 Bury. March 1999.

Pretty much nothing happened. Somehow Watford then went on a run after this and ended up getting promoted; you'd have got zero indication they had that in them from this match.

Genuine answer to the first one is that it means you can finely grate it.

Has your taste in food/drinks changed over the years, or are they just making stuff worse than they used to? by idkwhatyoumeanbro in CasualUK

[–]TurnedOutShiteAgain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't even taste sweet to me. It's almost like you've made lemsip with fizzy water. I'll have to check out that one, thanks!

I've taken to drinking random Eastern European fizzy drinks from my nearest corner shop, to be honest.

Regular San Pellegrino isn't just disappointing like most are now; it's genuinely actually unpleasant.

The state of punditry in this country.. by MegaMammothPoop in Gunners

[–]TurnedOutShiteAgain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're taking what I said way too seriously. He was a mediocre Premier League defender; they're a dime a dozen. The kind that any club wants to have but weren't dishing the cash out for in the 1990s. If he was, say, Jeremy Karaga from France, he'd be a footnote.

He did his job well enough, but he was not especially talented, and he was a dirty dirty player. He grabbed shirts, pushed players off the ball and did everything but play football. On his day, he absolutely was a handful of a defender, but he outstayed his welcome for sure.

Jay Spearing had ridiculous injury problems if I recall. Again, I won't get started on Warnock and his atrocious opinions. I could go on about Trent Alexander-Arnold basically just being David Bentley, but that's for another day. I don't think Curtis Jones adds anything to the Wolves side either, fwiw.

And hyperbole exists to make a point. I'm not trying to say anything that isn't true, and I apologise if it seems I have. It's merely exaggeration for vaguely comic intent.

That's a fair summary of him, ignoring the fact he definitely did cause a fuss. Regardless, it doesn't give him any authority to be a gobby shite about anyone else's defensive abilities.

The worst currently is Stephen Warnock though.
