RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS - VISUAL NOVELS ALLOWED


Recommended Posts

Eh, not sure what the comment section's problem is for the most part, I had thought they would like authors being negative towards games. And the LSL series hasn't really been good of late, post Lowe, so is perfectly reasonable to see this as continued decline even if they can play on people's urge to stick it to "teh SJWs" or whatever.

Yep, I have very little doubt that it'll suck. Hasn't Al Lowe basically disowned the series since Magna Asterisks Laude?

 

From what I gather, the glittering gem of hatred that is the comment section is mostly about the self-important tone of the article. EG are kinda annoying with the virtue signaling though so not really surprised at the reactions. It begs the question why people stick around if they hate the editorial line, though.

 

@Chilloutman: dude, you owe it to yourself to play at least Love for Sail. The last true Leisure Suit Larry game.

Not weird at all. It's an investors conference, they are reporting an expected dip in profits as they are topping out on units sold. They have to plan there next console ahead of actually having it ready for production and shipping. The industry has a lot of moving parts that need to be in the know, and typically this stuff is reported somewhat publicly, knowing that most consumers will never really clue in to the practical matters of the industry.

 

If you look AMD's CPU/GPU timeline, Fall 2021 makes the most sense to capitalize on new hardware. Though most gaming forums seem filled with people wanting the PS5 earlier and believing it will come any time from this year to Fall 2020. Fall 2021 just makes sense when it comes to rolling out a custom SOC on the next-generation of hardware.

 

Three years is still a lot of life for a system that was released in Fall 2013.

Yeah, that's the weird part.

Weird thing to announce, considering that they don't have a new console to show yet.

It's an overexaggeration that people (journalists and YouTubers) are blowing out of proportion. The Sony CEO who stated that also stated today that a PS5 won't even show up til 2020 or later so PS4 isn't close to ending. I think thi was a talk of hardware design rather than specific life cycle in general.

Just what do you think you're doing?! You dare to come between me and my prey? Is it a habit of yours to scurry about, getting in the way and causing bother?

 

What are you still bothering me for? I'm a Knight. I'm not interested in your childish games. I need my rest.

 

Begone! Lest I draw my nail...

What the ****...

 

My intelligence, historic integrity, and national identity have all been insulted.

Hmmm... you mean the Vietnam outfitting mixed with victorian clothing for females, then WW2 vehichles and then some girl with a metal arm and a robotronic hand operating with futuristic wiring? Strange but I guess you gotta do something when you run out of ideas.

 

Also, that "gameplay" trailer seems a bit... cinematic/scripted. Unless the game will have an actual single player campaign. Meh... haven't played a BF games since BF1942 and a Call of Duty since CoD2.

"You don't want to play soldiers, kid, war was hell."

"Well you should tell us more war stories, grandma!"

"These things are not for young kids to hear, but very well, young should learn from mistakes of their grandmothers. It was one of those warm evenings of '44 and my unit dropped in the middle of enemy territory. I still get flashbacks from that horror-filled night. When I jumped out of the plane, I knew I'd be done for as my parachute refused to open. Luckily, I saw a jerry plane on my way down, so I swooped in and stepped on its wing. The bloody jerry bastard was doing his best to chase down an allied fighter, so I did what any soldier would do - grabbed my trusty gun, shot his ****pit open, grabbed him by his jacket and threw him out of the plane, then learned to fly the plane and shot down three other enemy fighters.

 

It didn't end there though. Kids, war is hell. When I looked at my fuel gauge, I found that the tank is empty. I'd never call myself a hero, just a gal trying to survive in the face of that merciless bitch Death. So I ended up doing the thing you do if you want to survive - I jettisoned out of the plane, but not before I've let it glide towards a menacing panzer. Oooh what an explosion, I could have sworn I've seen bones through my skin.

 

Even then I got no rest for I landed feet-first on an allied jeep. Naturally, I've lost my pistol when I took the plane, so I was forced to start mowing Jerries down with my '80 cal."

That Battlefield trailer was so depressing, I have no words for it other than 'battle royale did to multiplayer games what microtransactions couldn't...'

 

 

shot his ****pit open,

Hahaha! :lol:

My guess is that they meant the end of current models and the introduction of a new PS4 with all the bells and whistles of a PS4 Pro. Basically, there will only be one model of the PS4 in the stores. But that's just my guess.

 

Maybe there will be a price cut as well?

WTF that BF is suppose to be? Jebus...

I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene"

Looks like Fortnite had forced sex with CoD:WW2, with both being high on LSD...

 

And with no lube...

"Sexy games abandon Steam and head to GoG for revenge in hopes that GoG will become bigger and better than Steam for ultimate payback"

 

Ummmm... *laughs hysterically*

 

Personally I'm glad the "sexy" games are off of Steam now.... while I'm all for Steam, it's weird to (filter) out dating simulators and still see them on the big banner on store page around Christmas. Yes, I'm talking about games like Sakura Christmas and others.

I do not care, I lived in age when 90% of internet was porn and it does not affected me in any way. I have seen naked wamens in papers/on net before I complete basic education. Any parent who thinks he can keep his kids from naked people is delussional

I'm going to take a wild guess and say you don't have kids or nieces/nephews.

 

Just because kids are "someday" going to see naked people, doesn't mean we should sit around and do nothing to protect their innocence. I'm not against nudity in games and movies but there are very creepy discussions on the Huniepop and dating simulator boards and I wouldn't ever want my kids seeing any of that crap. It's not even a thing of thing of "Well you're the parent and you're using it so keep your kids off", it's a service and the developers of these games were going against the legal terms and rules, the code of conduct so since this is a service, it's their responsibility to follow those rules and Valve's responsibility to follow up on it. So I am thankful that Valve finally did somethimg about it.

If not being so clueless is delusional, then yes, I'd rather be "your" definition of delusional lmao

 

Yeah, I'd rather not say "Let's put our 4 year old in a car and let them drive by themselves because they will one day"

It's not like the kid could buy the game without mommy's money.

 

As a parent you don't really want your child feeling ashamed of being introduced to something from their peers, that is taboo to discuss at home. Just don't make a fuss about those things and your child will be busy moving onto the next thing.
