sorophx Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 you tell us (or you still haven't seen any episodes of Extra Credits?) Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland. And having been educated solely by mkreku in this respect I am convinced that Finland essentially IS the wh40k universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meshugger Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/extra-credits That's a series by a game design student often about story. Including an entire 8 minute diatribe about God of War as a series. He loved God of War 1, and hated 2/3 because 2/3's stories went to hell. I just watched all of his videos. It's like Yahtzee without the insults. Highly recommended. Wouldn't Yahtzee without insults be terrible? Not really. He does bring good points between every insult here and there. As for metroid, sheesh, how the mighty have fallen. That didn't just sound bad, it sounded atrocious.

Achilles Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 (edited) I expect that people that don't live in the U.S. or follow U.S. politics won't get it.

Achilles Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 A lot of game developers are here. Therefore, any new laws passed here would affect gamers around the world. Hardly surprising that a popular game critic would feel the need to chime in (I'm also guessing that he tracks his views and knows that a fair amount of his hits come from the U.S.).

Orogun01 Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 A lot of game developers are here. Therefore, any new laws passed here would affect gamers around the world. Hardly surprising that a popular game critic would feel the need to chime in (I'm also guessing that he tracks his views and knows that a fair amount of his hits come from the U.S.). And if this passes it also sets precedent for the entire world to follow suit. I hardly think that we are the only country with anti-game activists, plus it also hurts all game developers outside of the states that won't be able to move their product inside the US. More than likely they would make their games to fit the same standard just to keep a consumer. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purkake Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 There are more important issues to worry about than video game legislation. And I still don't think that celebrities should get involved in politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 (edited) There are more important issues to worry about than video game legislation. Yep, there sure are. Free speech is one of them and this definitely falls under that umbrella, so there goes that, huh? Again you obviously don't follow U.S. politics, so I don't expect you to get it. P.S. if you don't care about video games, then being here sure seems like a waste of your time, eh (member for 6 years with almost 7,500 posts)? And I still don't think that celebrities should get involved in politics. LOL@"celebrities" You're awesome, Purkake. Don't ever change.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Speaking of which, anyone else played that game? I downloaded the demo and it was really damn good. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons.

Purkake Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 It's pretty much a refined version of Penumbra, from what I've heard. If you like horror games this is where it's at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cogar66 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Speaking of which, anyone else played that game? I downloaded the demo and it was really damn good. Didn't scare me. Made me extremely tense, but it didn't scare me. I'd say it's a 7/10 merely because it didn't scare me, but it scared everyone else. I'd suggest a buy because it's only $20 and Frictional Games is struggling, and it's a fun game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwars Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Probably the scariest game I played, well worth the price. Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sannom Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Dunno, the only test I read about that game depicted it as an almost traumatizing experience in its horror. Granted, reviewers in that magazine tend to be quite intense and idiotic on purpose, but he seemed kind of serious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
