RETIRED - The all inclusive video game thread

[Monkey_Driven]

That would be insanely pointless and confusing

Less pointless and confusing than having everything jumbled together.

LV's still bummed he has chose Xbox One over PS4.

This reminds me of the time mjd wanted a different thread for every single show on a tour.

Pearl Jam isn't of the highest selling media in the history of media. Very different.

It was a wild ride today.

Hey Ruddo, let's setup a video games subforum.

Nah.

Nah.

Sounds good to me.

But I have them both!!!

I didn't think you had a PS4. Are you interested in God of War? The single camera shot seems like it could be a game changer in gaming storytelling.

Damn it, M_D. Don't discuss video games until they give in to our demands. REVOLT

I'm just a rule follower. I lost my will to fight in my 20's.

Not really. Like many games, certain things about the aesthetic/concept seem interesting, but the actual gameplay totally turns me off.

That's fair. The gameplay of this is getting rave reviews as well, but I understand your point. I'm not interested in most shooters/fighting games for the same reason.

Big budget games seem to add one feature upon another to appeal to the widest possible audience, leading each element to lack polish. I appreciate good game design just as much as art design/story/atmosphere/etc. There's an art to it.

[E.H. Ruddock]

That new God of War looks pretty great

I'm gonna have so much fun discussing it among all this clutter.

Uninteresting game mechanics are the reason I haven’t bought a game in forever. It’s all so stale and homogenous. There’s so little innovation. Part of me wishes people who aren’t game developers were making games, but on the other hand that would probably also suck because I hate unpolished games. It really feels like the medium is dying to me. Or at least going through a severe dry spell.

my buddy's a hardcore gamer and felt similarly until he got an Oculus Rift

I feel the same way about film. These feelings are not unique to games.
