Bald White Guy Space > Ugly Lesbian Dykes

The bald white guy was made to appeal to widest core audience of gamers.

Ugly lesbian bulldykes are made to appeal the widest audience of HR departments and ESG.

Metal Gear Rising is the greatest among all the Metal Gear games.

Xbox One's push for TV integration failed more than Xbox's Kinect. I said that integrating media apps on game consoles was the beginning of the end of centralized gaming entertainment. The Xbox One reveal I feel proves that theory. It didn't help that less and less people were interested in television as the years progressed. If I buy a gaming console, my intent is to play games on it. Everything else is secondary.

People complain about Sony games being interactive movies with minimal player input and lack of freedom, but I feel MS started that trend for Sony to jump into that bandwagon.

At least when you have a guy who buys MGS4 for the PS3, he knows what he's getting into with the long-ass cutscenes.

 

[The Last Stand]

I would've preferred if Kinect was still involved with the Xbox One. That Kinect had potential with technological advancements and improvements that addressed the concerns from the 360 rendition. But, again, MS' focus was on all other entertainment besides the entertainment that Xbox is primarily involved with.

Forcing people of your vision does not work out if there's no benefit for the consumer.

Xbox tried to please everyone else but their core audience; the FPS dude-bros who are no stranger to racial insults and shitposting online. They literally chased away the people who made the Xbox and the 360 a success, which is why the Xbox-One and the Series S/X are falling behind the Nintendo Switch-an outdated console with games more suited for parties and kids. Because at the very least, Nintendo didn't have the stupidity to turn on its audience of soccer moms, party game players, and children. PS5 is on the fence, on the one hand, they have some cool games, on the other, they're also somewhat pozzed, and they also fall behind Nintendo in terms of sales.

The buzz-cut space marine made players feel strong. Characters like Master Chief, Captain Titus, Marcus Fenix, Commander Shepard, and others like them were power fantasies in the best sense of the word.

Modern ''empowered'' wahmen characters just make people nostalgic for the time when the Dead Or Alive franchise put in boob physics as a selling point.

3D plateformers collectathons peaked with Banjo-Kazooie. Banjo-Tooie felt like a downgrade despite the devs cramming wayyyyy more things in the sequel, and DK64 can absolutely go fuck itself.

If I was autistic enough to enjoy DK64, I'd play a Sonic game instead.

I know. Funny thing is, that used to be kosher for feminism; having a beautiful woman kick ass was once seen as ''empowering'' and ''badass'', like that was something to look up to. Now, the fact that they're attractive makes them a bad thing, because it appeals to the male fantasy, and feminism nowadays sees that as bad.

This is why you don't make feminism your life. The next generation of feminists will have different values than yours, and if you insist on pushing your luck, they'll destroy you the same way they did JK Rowling. Back then she used to be a feminist darling, now she's treated like a leper by all feminist groups still in concert with Social Justice.

The funniest thing is that some people operate under the false notion that women don't want to play as sexy characters. I play tabletop games on the regular, and a good 75% of the women there go into frankly pornographic detail describing their sexy graceful elf lady. Not to mention you see just as many women draw sexy art as men. It's a handful of seething fat bitches that forced ugly lesbian characters on us.

Also based SW Rebellion enjoyer. Do you play with any mods? I always found the AI to be way too timid, even on Hard. It's fine for Rebel AI, but seeing the Empire constantly draw back and hardly attack you breaks immersion a fair bit. And it's just too easy.

Yep. You look at some of the most prolific hentai artists and smut fanfic authors on the internet, and a surprising amount of them are women who are drawing/writing about women getting railed/tied up. Feminists today won't admit it and would get offended if you told them that, but 15 years ago, feminist authors were proud about the role they play in making sexy chicks for the internet.

I played it as a kid with no mods. Usually as the Empire, so I didn't really have a problem. My rebel playthrough was an afterthought.

I'll say it till the day I die: New Vegas is in my Top 5, but Heaven have mercy, its fans should all be beaten with hammers.

The atmosphere was great for an Xbox 360 game and some of the quests were memorable, but so many design choices made me want to beat the devs with a hammer.

• It launched unfinished and despite devs crunching all they could do to the base game was make it run a bit better.
• 90% of the map was absolutely fucking nothing, for all the shitting on Skyrim or Oblivion at least you could go in a random direction and see some points of interest or handcrafted content.
• Which ties into most quests, tiny pockets of places of interest where you have to spend 10 minutes wandering around to get to them.
• There's no actual hook for the player to do the main quest, why the fuck should the player care about the overall future of New Vegas after dealing with Benny?
• The factions added some flavour, but were just as on the nose as The Outer Worlds: entirely one dimensional based on their goals.
• In its defense, it did look significantly more developed for 200 years post nukes, but still had the core issues of "why the fuck are you still living in a place with skeletons"
• The devs adding save scumming mechanics in the casinos should be enough to have them tied to a post and shot.
• The absolute lack of anything that generated enough EXP once you hit level 20 reminded me of those shitty grindy MMORPGs

People tend to say The Outer Worlds was a significant drop off from Fallout: New Vegas but I don't really think so. The writing was just as shitty and preachy in F:NV, the only major difference being that the atmosphere and engine made the modern Fallout games interesting kill/loot/sell repeat games. You take that away and focus on pure story and you see just how terrible Obsidian are.

I can still respect Tooie for its sheer ambition, but DK64 was padded for the sake of padding. Having the ability to switch characters on the fly (something mods took care of a long time ago) would've made the game infinitely more palatable.

Blitz the League was peak sportsball gaming and it should be brought back.

I wish Midway Games hadn't died because their Sportsball division were just clearly made up of dudebros having fun and making fun games
>NBA Jam
>NFL Blitz
>NHL Hitz
>MLB Slugfest

All fun games, they weren't technically the greatest but they KNEW THEY WERE VIDEO GAMES. Whereas now the whole Sports Genre is seemingly commanded by the NO FUN POLICE with games being more tame than the actual sports themselves. Just compare and contrast:

EA NHL Fight, looks like shit and is boring

Midway NHL Fight, becomes a barebones version of Mortal Kombat with Jeremy Roenick getting to perform a finisher.

Crossposting, but in the wake of all of Sony's current antics, what with all the woke pandering and ultra-expensive budgets for their games, it's funny to see them still fall short of Nintendo, who for the most part, keep budgets down and focus on the gameplay experience first and foremost over cinematic presentation.

Fuck Nintendo. They aren't the saviours of gaming in the modern age and never have been. They resell old arse games for full price, launch shitty hardware and aim for the scumbag normie market.
The companies rehashing games time after time are just following the Nintendo formula; 8 versions of Ass Creed is bad, but 8 versions of mario kart is seen as praise-worthy.

Nintendo games never go on sale, are aimed at children and pedophiles and are a pox on the industry.

While Playstation and Xbox may be serving shit-sandwiches to the disgust of many, Nintendo serve a shit-sandwich with sprinkles and are lauded as heros of the industry.

Nintendo, Apple and all fans of both need to be sucked into the next Large-Hadron-Collider created black hole.

MGS4 is a meme to me I can never play without laughing. my friend in high school had a problem with telling me shit he really shouldn't have. his stepdad was in the same union as my pop so I knew him really well and my dad hated him for being a guy who would pretend to work and do absolutely nothing all day. the friend's mom was stupid hot. I bring all this up because my friend's bedroom was in the basement with the biggest TV I've ever seen irl to this day and we'd be stoned in his room watching movies and his stepdad would be in the other room being the grown man being like "NO YOU'RE THE NIGGER YOU FAGGOT" with kids on call of duty lobbies right next to us and we'd crack up. anywhore MGS4 apparently my buddy was traumatized by because he heard from the next room his mom on some holiday or something literally on the ground begging for sex and his stepdad yelling at her about how there was important story shit and he had to watch it and no he did not want his cock sucked because he might miss something.

Lords of Magic is an incredibly solid turn based strategy game that ranks up there with Heroes of Might & Magic 3 and FF Tactics as far as classic turn based strategy goes. It got average reviews back in the day but seems largely forgotten now.

You could pause cut scenes in MGS4. Even the devs knew that shit dragged. 95% of the cut scenes are fluff and you could get a good fuck sesh in without missing anything. It was great gameplay but there wasn't enough of it. There was a focus on characters that didn't matter. Who gives a shit what Mei Ling is doing or the peepee-poopoo-man's backstory? The best parts of that game was being in the middle of battlefields trying to not get killed by either side and that is only like a quarter of the game. I guess 45 minute cutscenes about child soldiers or whatever is more important.
