Developers seem to be missing the point of games being an interactive experience, if the child its just there to be an emotion causing ornament then it may as well be part of the background. On of the most basic companionship I've seen done in a game was in Shadow of the Colossus between Agro and the Wanderer. They are bound together on the same quest facing the towering Colossi, Agro proving to be indispensable in defeating some of them. (Shadow of the Colossus spoilers ahead) So when Agro fell down to the ravine I felt that loss because of all of what I had been through. Characters that are framing references for the hero are disposable and often forgot after they protagonist has been established, but companions bring their worth and value the hero's journey often engaging on a journey of their own. Basically, if it bring nothing of value to the story then it has no value.

Wouldn't "Saw the Video Game " be the equivalent of Saw the video game?

I don't have a daughter so if you put a 3d model in front of me and tell me it's my daughter, well then I'll see you in court bitch! Seriously though, unless they are willing to put massive cutscenes where they establish that relationship (all through which I will be wondering when do I get to the gameplay) I probably won't find it believable. It will kind of be like the kids from Inception where I'm told by the protagonist that they are his main motivation but I spend the rest of my live wondering if they where real.

Yep, everyone its fine with anime nowadays. Cosplayers are still creepy though.

If I'd have to guess, it's probably because I can have a picnic with friends in RL, but I can' really kill people. Well....I can. But it is..complicated. I don't know what reality you live in but you can do those thing in this one, at the same time even.

You're wrong, it creates the feeling you're about to drown, thats such a strong feeling that you will forget where you are and who tortures you, you're panicking, only fighting for air and you think you're dying. And you don't need any practice at all to waterboard someone, maybe thats why its so widely used nowadays. Pour water over someones covered face until that person runs out of oxygen, make a short break, repeat. Try it out. I just think it's a waste of water, just pouring into someone's face to simulate drowning when you can actually drown them in a tub. Its' always the same with you. You can't be bothered with waterboarding, you don't want to go out to Nandos, you want to home-build a dirty bomb rather than order one in from Pakistan... You used to be so much fun. I think it's time we started seeing other genocidal maniacs.

Actually you make a good point despite the fact you are joking, what does it say about the state of our consciousness and society in general where we prefer to play a game that we get to kill people instead of a game where we get to explore the bountiful excitement of things like love and having picnics with friends? You have asked some salient questions that I think we all need to reflect on It means Dating Sims are for those guys who bring their pillow-waifu to public places. I have to vicariously kill dragons because all the real ones died years ago (plus the price tag on a dragon safari is beyond my means) why would I want to have a vicariously experience when I can have the real thing? Now a game where you kill your nagging significant other; that I can get behind.

That's a very talented stripper

Apparently its the 1980s again, when anime in its natural habitat was a hard find and those who did find it were thought to be watching cheap kids fiction and not startling cinematic movies and tv shows of uncompromised vision that just happened to show nudity as well. When Galaxy Express 999 squeaked to theaters in NY and LA, when Castle of Cogliostro was mostly known as a laserdisc game called "Cliff Hangers" and 7 Zark 7 was seen as an integral part of the Battle of the Planets. In the future - we are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives - from around the mid-2000s on, I will not know anyone amid my niece's age and younger who will not watch anime or read manga. Do they look down on themselves in this utopian future of anime, flying cars and jetpacks, you may ask? No, my startling visions of that glorious future that awaits us all indicates that they will be well adjusted and happy with their anime and manga...but less so with flying cars and jet packs. Back to the present, however, I wasn't on the internet in the 1980s so am unsure how I'm posting this message to a forum that won't exist for 20 more years. I shall declare it "movie magic" and move on. I do love it when you talk film.

We'd be a fun bunch if we ever get into the same room.

Guess it'll have to hold me until survarium comes online.

Not as impressive, also what happened to the drainage?

Is a cool film either way.

The horror!

Would you care to offer a counterpoint then?

Since this thread is already I open I thought I would try my luck asking a question here. What is expected and what are you looking for in a 3D character/modeller?

Correction, damn those voices. I remember seeing the prelude to the fight between Batman and Bane underneath the sewers, while Catwoman is thrown there as a framing reference and thinking that what must be going through her head was: " Look at these two lunatics talking about secret societies in funny voices" The worst part is that she had the chance to talk to both Bruce and Batman and never thought to ask why he makes that growling voice.

I'll get him next time

When else do you have time to read military manuals? I just thought that if you needed military manuals to go to the bathroom you might want to try a stool softener.

Too much sightseeing not enough gameplay?

Are we dumping our SFW porn folders or something? Also, I wish every thread derailment was this sexy.

I got shot in the face by a child waving a roman candle when I was in Southeast Asia. Narrowly missed my bloody eye. I'm ambivalent about the incident because it didn't scar, and I've always wanted a cool scar. It's for the better, the only scars people notice are the disfiguring ones.

Why do you have military manuals in your bathroom?
