Pictures of your Games 11 - The Quickening


Recommended Posts

Mercifully, Katphood didn't include any screenies that included closeups of characters.  I can only imagine the faces are even more terrifying in 4k.  :shifty:

I guess it's a tiny baby elephant and I guess it wanted a bath?

It's like in real life, when someone in the room is talking/expressing when a mean person (like, me) takes a picture.

Read the reviews. 

I don't read reviews. Game journalism died in 2002 as far as I'm concerned. If you mean user reviews, then I don't even consider those worth existing.

So basically you go into every game purchase without any information other than what the developer and publisher provide? That doesn't seem like a more informed way of going about things.

 

I just tend to look for reviews that I can identify with. Most of the people here fit that mold, and rarely lead me astray.

You can usually get a good general idea of a game by comparing the mutual points of more reputable game journaIists. I usually also look at the middling user reviews: 4 to 7/10, though it depends on how the other reviews average; those are usually the ones that try and list both positive and negative points instead of fanboying or hating on it without reason.

no, I watch youtube videos of people playing the game without commentary

How enlightened of you. Of course, I imagine those videos are made by reviewers and users, so maybe you do have a wee bit of reliance of game journalists and users in order to make your decisions.  :dancing:

not if I don't rely on their opinions

I don't think we're on the same page. I don't consider reviews "content". user reviews are completely useless, because those users have no rapport with me. "professional" reviews are various degrees of terrible terrible, because gaming journalism is still in its infancy compared to, for example, film criticism (was there ever an English-speaking writer of Ebert's caliber among game journos?).

We are clearly not on the same page. Users and game journalists bring more to the table than just their opinions. You stated that you watch videos in order to make informed decisions on game purchases. Those videos must be coming from the publishers, journalists, or players. You are calling them 'completely useless' and 'terrible terrible' but you are still relying on the content they are providing. I don't think there is anything wrong with being critical of their opinions, but your hyperbole comes across as contradictory.

welp, I don't think raw gameplay and reviews can be compared in this context, so let's just put a lid on it.

That controller looks kinda uncomfortable.  Who thought completely unnecessary sharp angles were a good idea on something designed to be held and manipulated in your hand?  :blink:

It's probably a mimic, look out!

Don't worry.  If I hear that skittering sound that you always hear when there's a mimic nearby I immediately start smashing everything in sight with my wrench.  Who's getting the jump on who?  :brows:

Same. Best way to actually see if gameplay is worth putting any time into without being subjected to people selling their goofy, obnoxious personalities.

Seaman Jones: Conn, sonar! Crazy Ivan!
 
Capt. Bart Mancuso: All stop! Quick quiet!
 
Beaumont: What's goin' on, Jonesy?
 
Seaman Jones: Russian captains sometimes turn suddenly to see if anyone's behind them. We call it "Crazy Ivan." The only thing you can do is go dead. Shut everything down and make like a hole in the water.
 
Beaumont: So what's the catch?
 
Seaman Jones: The catch is, a boat this big doesn't exactly stop on a dime... and if we're too close, we'll drift right into the back of him.

“Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”
 
-Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>>
Quote

"The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

-Rod Serling
