And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.
Fenixp Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 "BioWare storytelling is all about making you feel emotions in situations where you thought you might not." Actually that's a fair assessment, I felt very confused and slightly awkward when every male in 10 mile radius keeps hitting on my ugly ass male protagonists. I sure did not expect to feel those emotions at those particular times. 7

I sure did not expect to feel those emotions at those particular times. I like making my characters ugly. It's especially hilarious in BioWare games as companions still hit on you as if your a walking sex symbol with an over bite. 2
Raithe Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 Hm, the first "Elusive Target" occurs over the next 48 hours in Hitman. Apparently it's a one off target, you can only try once during this 48 hour period. They won't show up on the mini-map, or with the use of instinct. Also, no saves while trying it. So if you screw up the mission, it's over and done. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

Lexx Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 They play with gamepad and nvidia plays with mouse & keyboard. Simple truth is, pure shooter games with gamepad are pure crap. 2 "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
Fenixp Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 Well, more importantly, whoever recorded that video sucks badly with a pad. There's skill to playing with one too you know (one that I'm actually having fun learning, I already finished Wolfenstein: TNO on Uber with a pad. That was enjoyable.)
Vaeliorin Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 (edited) Wow...Polygon is even worse than I am, and I quit playing FPS games years ago because I'm so terrible at them. I can at least headshot enemies that are standing still or running straight at me. Can't hit anything moving laterally, though. ETA: The weird thing is, I do fine with 3rd person shooters. There's just something about first person that messes with my hand-eye coordination. Edited May 14, 2016 by Vaeliorin
Katphood Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 (edited) Polygon can't into Doom. I just wonder who hired that guy/gal... Edited May 14, 2016 by Katphood There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.
Sarex Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 I'm almost sorry I gave that video a view...wth was that? "because they filled mommy with enough mythic power to become a demi-god" - KP
Fenixp Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 RetroAhoy's new-ish video, Quake. Buckle up, it's a bit over an hour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OipJYWhMi3k&ab_channel=Ahoy As per usual, extremely well researched and delivered. 2
kirottu Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 (edited) I'm almost sorry I gave that video a view...wth was that? The actual Polygon video is half an hour long. This was merely collection of highlights, but whoever made this highlight video didn't include the best bit. Three seconds long video that makes you question is it even okay to make fun whoever was playing. Like maybe the player is legally blind or something. Who is that bad? Why would you shoot at a medkit? Have you ever even played a game before? Gaming journalist. They truly are a mystery for the ages.

Malcador Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 That RetroAhoy video was fun, nothing new though. Should re-read Masters of Doom Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
Bartimaeus Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 (edited) To be fair to Polygon, I'm about as bad as they are when trying to play a FPS with a gamepad. For some reason, my brain can't quite grasp using two analogue sticks at once with shooters, and I play pretty similarly to a person who's never played games before. ...Of course, I'm not reviewing such games (and certainly not professionally), and if I was, I'd probably just stick to keyboard and mouse.

Oerwinde Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 To be fair to Polygon, I'm pretty sure that several of their writers are on record saying they hate video games. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
