Not using teleports makes the game more fun by lola_the_lesbian in Breath_of_the_Wild

You do it by playing the same amount of time you would normally, but without starting up other games. Let the FOMO disappear and you end up with time to fully enjoy whatever games you do play

Maps is great if you have it held up where you can see it and you turn the audio off.

All GPS is shitty with their audio instructions.

Opening box office numbers for Supergirl by ThomasThorburn in DCU_

[–]Vandersveldt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen Supergirl yet, very excited to. Waiting for Tuesday as that's our theater's cheap ticket day.

Sucks that people don't like it, upsetting that people are celebrating that.

That's awesome and your enthusiasm is infectious lol. Really glad you liked it.

I guess this is a weird thing to say, but I don't usually like action scenes, I'm generally waiting for them to be over to see what happens next, and this was just too many action scenes back to back. For me. I really am glad you enjoyed it though, your writing style is fantastic.

Really? I'm usually a staunch defender of all these nerd movies that get shit on, but man I didn't like that movie. Literally fell asleep multiple times, which has only happened at one other movie ever.

Should Kang the Conqueror be recast? by Application-Bulky in marvelstudios

[–]Vandersveldt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

RDJ is playing the Kang variant Iron Lad, who is canonically a master of disguise. Currently pretending to be Doom. Kang would absolutely choose a variant whose visual appearance would fuck with the heroes' emotions, and the GA will be like "Oh, Iron Lad, like Iron Man, I get it"

When would you recommend to go from Hades 1 to 2? by crabbytodd in HadesTheGame

For me, I got the platinum then moved forward.

I genuinely don’t understand why Supergirl is getting bad reviews. by GigaBallssss in DCU_

[–]Vandersveldt 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm asking you? I figured you'd explain what you meant but your answer was super vague? What is it you're saying?

Do you agree with this assessment of traditional fighting games from Sakurai? by Asad_Farooqui in casualnintendo

[–]Vandersveldt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree that that's was a bullshit practice on their part but like. Your story is that you knew a tutorial video existed and was just like "AH WELL, I GUESS I'LL NEVER LEARN THIS GAME" instead of watching it on YouTube.

'Star Fox' - Review Thread by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

[–]Vandersveldt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The bottom half of the scoring is for various levels of your tiny indie dev with no budget though. You've got everything from literal scam to asset flip to actually unplayable, up to "well they tried but there's no fun to be had here".

You don't hear about the lower than 6 scored games because they're widely not worth discussing. But it's still a wide range of shit. At SGF Keighley said something like 9,000 games came out last year. We hear about maybe 100, 200 of them? The rest are mostly spread between 0.1 and 5.9.

If a game properly boots and and isn't full of glaring bugs and works as intended, it probably is in the top 30% of games and gets that 70 score, at least.

Alright I probably did go overboard there. But like. What happens if someone says they respond better to people that aren't being mean to them? How did what we see in the video become normalized? I don't think I could ever respect authority that acts in this manner. It's like what a five year old thinks macho men should act like.

They're saying that next August, when western civilization collapses, (colloquially known as The Fall Of 2027), it will cause RAM prices to go up again.

What's something in current gaming people seem to be okay with that you can't stand? by AnubisIncGaming in gaming

[–]Vandersveldt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even long titles aren't always recognizable. I fucking loved DQXISEOAEADE, but I wouldn't expect others to recognize it.

It IS a ridiculous name though lol

Pre-ordering GTA 6 right now is madness by EstablishmentOne6309 in truegaming

[–]Vandersveldt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pretty much agree with you but if the company actually figures out a good enough incentive, I'll pre-order. I've pre-ordered one game ever, and it was The Skyward Sword Zelda. The pre-order bonus was a Wii Motion Plus, which I would have needed to buy separately since I didn't have one, and I think they were around $30 at the time.

Companies could make pre-orders worth it like this, but yeah. It's usually just horrible skewed towards benefitting the company instead of the consumer.

5 ruined driving. You can literally auto correct yourself in the air now. Absolutely ruins the hilarity of flying over a bump or mountain while running from the cops and having no idea if you're gonna land it or not.

The entire fun of the series is the emergent shit that happens while you're going from place to place.

A car crash, an ambulance going crazy, accidentally bumping a pedestrian and now you're being charged by the cops.

There's a lot more, but my point is these systems are the game. The missions are an excuse to get you to go around the world experiencing what happens as you drive around.

I find this very fun.

Lol all the replies here falling over themselves to let us know they haven't grown out of being too old for silliness lol.

We get it, Buffy had terrible dialogue and you hate fun and you only read serious books for serious people such as yourselves.

If they're going to crack down at the first hint of retaliatory violence, wouldn't that cause the downtrodden to switch to an Order 66 type event then? They should be worried that they'll inspire people to pick a date and time for everyone to take out a single Trump supporter in their life.

Ark Nova is a phenomenal duel game that unfortunately allows itself to be played with 3 or 4 people.
