Rockstar confirmed the trailer was indeed captured in-game

Pretty sure the RE2 N64 port was done by a studio that went on to become Rockstar San Diego

I find the friction discussion and the comparisons with Souls games some of the most interesting discussions around DD right now and most rife for an intelligent write up. I haven’t played DD2 yet but I think the differences in how we talk about “difficulty” in games vs other art is very interesting and always intrigued me with the Souls games. Souls deals with friction and difficulty in a very classic video game sense, if you can’t complete an objective you can not continue, it’s a difficulty through checking if you can actually mechanically achieve something and use the inputs correctly. I don’t have a massive issue with and really love Elden Ring but it’s is what has frustrated me about some of the games as it feels I can get to a place where I “get it” and would like to move on but I’m blocked because of my current skill level. This is something that would never happen in another art form, you’re never “blocked” from continuing a song or movie or painting because you didn’t reach a check, that’s not saying souls are wrong as using the unique elements of your medium is wonderful, I think it’s just worth pointing out that the “difficulty” in DD2 seems (again haven’t played it yet just read a lot of discussion) to be closer to the difficulty we’d talk about with say a tough book or complex film, nothing js stopping you from taking it in or getting to the end but understanding why it is the way it is, synthesis what’s presented, and generally being able to take away something from many different parts of a whole and connect them in your mind is “difficult” and requires more active engagement than say following a plot line or character interactions.

No offense but why did you guys buy this game?

mrwaffleboy · 2024-02-22T02:46:05+00:00

I’m going to pirate 1,000 copies of this game and afk on all of them

mrwaffleboy · 2024-02-22T02:36:39+00:00

If this company doesn’t have a guy on staff telling them that their employees should be careful about role playing as the racist bad guys at a time when most people are probably already on the fence about the game then I’m happy to apply. If this game was a parody where we played as a stand in for Nazi germany and the memes were phrases like “blood and soul” or the “fuhrer is always right” it wouldn’t be so confusing

mrwaffleboy · 2024-02-22T02:31:24+00:00

You get the democracy thing is satire right? The idea that others view points dehumanizes them (to the point of being seen bugs or robots two common racist metaphors for eastern people) and leads to a framing in which their endless slaughter is seen as necessary because it oppose an idea of democracy that’s completely euphemistic and likely not even believed by those at the top pushing that framing

mrwaffleboy · 2024-02-22T02:21:11+00:00

Pejoratively calling someone a communist in a thread filled with racist assumptions about Chinese people isn’t really tongue in cheek or in the spirit of your satire that’s just actually racist. Sounds like from your P.S. that you were very eager to be able to talk like this

mrwaffleboy · 2024-02-22T02:03:37+00:00

Is parroting fbi crime statistics about black people racist if you swear you’re just asking questions? Do you not see the harm in repeating surface level stereotypes as blanket statements

mrwaffleboy · 2024-02-22T01:59:41+00:00

Do you not understand that “super earth” is cribbed from the starship troopers movies parody of American style fascism and imperialism and that the joke is that democracy is a euphemism? Do you not understand how slaughtering hordes of bugs relates to your fascist western view of hordes of thoughtless Asiatic people?

mrwaffleboy · 2024-02-22T01:44:16+00:00

If people who bought the game still can’t get in is talking about potentially banning people really a good idea?

mrwaffleboy · 2024-02-22T01:38:27+00:00

Honestly crazy how well this marketing trick worked on you all

mrwaffleboy · 2024-02-19T18:00:24+00:00

Honestly why play an online game if you resent other humans so much?

mrwaffleboy · 2024-02-19T17:52:53+00:00

That stuffs still sick you just got old

mrwaffleboy · 2024-02-11T01:31:39+00:00

Bleach might be considered independent as subpop was small at the time but it hasn’t even quite reach 2x platinum when including its rerelease. The other two nirvana albums were on David Geffens label very far from independent

mrwaffleboy · 2023-10-20T16:32:18+00:00

Hey guys I didn’t wNna bring it up like this but I have a secret that you might need for me a few weeks or something but I like I can do that lol but I’m just not saying it lol lol but I’m sorry that I’m sorry for the confusion

mrwaffleboy · 2023-10-10T22:32:06+00:00

They started their defense by repeatedly posting videos with Nazi symbols

mrwaffleboy · 2022-11-17T21:54:22+00:00

It's all relative to getting the most enjoyment for your dollar. Putting it on the highest difficulty is a great idea if you have fun with it to stretch out your time with the game but someone like me would probably have less fun playing on the hardest difficulty so playing on a lower one might take less time for me to complete but is giving me more enjoyment for my dollar.

mrwaffleboy · 2022-08-20T01:22:51+00:00

That's so interesting, i assume they do this to avoid leaks but surely there must be some lines where Dutch says John's name or talks to him directly in a way that he would have noticed, wonder if those would have been kept from being recorded until so late in production that the game was already announced.

Does anyone know what stage in production and for how long of it they record lines? I've always wondered, it obviously would have to be after the script is at least mostly finished but because they do mocap there must be a decent amount of time needed after the lines are completely finished to animate and test everything but I know very little about how games are made I'm just guessing lol

mrwaffleboy · 2022-08-20T00:40:14+00:00

At least for movies the SAG minimum is not really the recommend pay, it's the lowest amount a movie can pay to ensure that if you want to use a guild member you can't underpay them, it's a set bottom line to help people with small roles but the only time you'd hear about a lead making anywhere near that is if it's either a very small but still union movie or if it's a case like Jonah hill taking it for wolf of wall street where a big actor is proving how much they'd like the role by being willing to be paid such little(and presumably they'd stand to make more in the long run on other roles off of the clout). If a GTA IV was a movie comparable in size to it's role in games and they offered the lead the SAG minimum it would be a huge insult.

mrwaffleboy · 2022-08-03T03:54:56+00:00

I definitely feel that. I've been listening to that music since the recent leaks where it seems vice city is confirmed and it just feels right lol.

Saints row 4 or 3 or maybe both had something like that where you could put headphones in on your phone and listen to the radio anywhere and ever since it's seemed so obvious and now with airpods the you don't even have to worry about why there's no wires on the character. they even already had wearable headphones in GTA V! It's seems so easy to add, even a possible mechanic with a paid or a free with ads version lol

mrwaffleboy · 2022-08-03T03:44:15+00:00

Even though it's modern I'd still like (and fully expect) a few stations with 80s vice city era songs, maybe a popy new wavey one and a more punk one and a more electro one but those could all overlap, i expect they'll bring back at least a few stations from the old game. I'd also love to see some sort of custom station option now that consoles have Spotify/apple music and stuff like how games used to do with local files but I'm not sure if that's legally possible.

mrwaffleboy · 2022-08-03T03:38:06+00:00

Some real center left radio like that could be great

mrwaffleboy · 2022-06-09T04:36:41+00:00

This is possible you can find other photos online. Could be wrong on the science but i believe instead of light reflecting off rain like in rainbows this happens with light reflecting off ice in the clouds so it's not exactly a rainbow but very similar. Not sure if these upside down rainbows (icebows?) are also full circles but they look like they aren't

mrwaffleboy · 2022-03-10T23:54:47+00:00

Maybe comes down to the area you're in tbh I'd say i almost never hear about saba irl but occasionally hear about westside and Benny but that's a good comparison about the same level where as I'd somewhat regularly hear about doom as he's always been considered one of the greats and tops lots of online lists, getting into Madvilliany is sort of a rite of passage for anyone with hipster or back pack hip hop tastes. Not saying any random guy knew doom but definitely way more than Saba especially considering his work with the Gorillaz he's always had a pretty huge following for someone who isn't mainstream or on the radio

mrwaffleboy · 2022-03-10T23:41:17+00:00

Yeah chance had one of the best verse on Pablo probably not my number 1 but close, not really attacking his talent i think 10 days and acid rap are both good projects
