I bet you $5,000 imaginary pesos that there are guys that will lose their shit, if they reduce her breasts or give her more realistic billstics. Just like the FF7 dick wads.
Bigger tits, smaller tits on the 16yo. Whatever. So long as they don't reduce her ears. Now those are sacrosanct.

Nuking Arasaka wasn't worth it, instead they should have formed an underground rebel movement, and launch guerilla attacks from the shadows, also a Bernie Sanders would have just been killed, or blackmail or given no media coverage

The devs behind Doom and Doom Eternal need to do a reboot of the Turok games in the same style, they would fucking rule. Not "should"...."need!"
Who even owns the Turok IP at this point?

Anyway, I figure if they want to apply the 'Doom magic' to an IP, shouldn't it be Quake? As in, a singleplayer take that goes back to the Lovecraftian themes? I get the sense that Id wants to keep Doom and Quake separate (former singleplayer, latter multiplayer), but I dunno. Never been into Quake, but I'd be open to the idea.

Did some sleuthing and was pleasantly surprised to see a remastered version on Steam



Nightdive Studios seems to specialize in stuff like this -

As a rail-shooter, Panzer Dragoon is a far better series than Star Fox.
The Ultimate Truth!

Ooh ooh ooh...Killzone 2 was the real Halo Killer. At least in terms of pretty much everything besides sales figures.
HA!


  • Spider-Man: Miles Morales > than Spider-Man (PS4)
  • Double Dragon Neon is great game, but it's not the best DD game. That title goes to Double Dragon Advance on the GBA. I feel that DDN has gotten over praised over the years and especially when it first launched. The game can and will force you to grind on harder difficulty to max out your stats and special moves. It gets old and repetitive having to switch between menus constantly for abilities. I found two sets of power ups that works best when maxed out, making almost all of the other abilities and skills useless.
  • Eve is a better villain than Sephiroth. Yeah, I said it.
  • Burnout Paradise is not as good as 3 or Revenge, but shits on most of the racing games that came out on 8th gen.
  • The last good Need for Speed game was Hot Pursuit (2010). The last decent NFS game was Rivals (the PC port is horrible. Do not play.) I have not played NFS Heat yet.
  • Shadows of the Damned is better than Lollipop Chainsaw. I do like Juliet as a character, but that is game couldn't have been made anywhere except in 2012.
  • Ayane is one of the most unsympathetic characters in a fighting game series, and I have almost no sympathy for the bytch. They kinda try to fix this with DOA5 & 6, but it should not have taken that long to end that stupid grudge plotline. I don't understand how Kasumi has so much patience for that brat. I'd sooner cry for Juri Han than Ayane. Poison is a better person that Ayane.

Have I told you guys that I think Zelda Breath of the Wild is a shitty game? Because I think it's a piece of HOT shit. And is easily the most overrated Zelda game ever made.

So suck on that smell.
But what do you think about the weapon degradation? Because that's apparently what really gets the BOTW super fans dander up. Or if you affect the meta-score by a percentage point.

Red Dead Redemption 2's online multiplayer character customization sucks.

I need the ability to make a character as pretty as Black Desert, and as ugly as... Black Dessert can make it.

We need more choices, more dept, more variation in character creation.

Oh, and speaking of Black Desert it's a vapid empty game. The only reason I brought it was their character creation. The endgame sucks, the story sucks, the loot sucks, the non-paid armor sucks, and even the combat was too stiff.

The big thing I've heard is that the game(BDO, not RDR2) has a really shitty MTX system for cosmetics, as in none of the interesting stuff can be purchased with in-game cash but instead has to be purchased with real money....and it's expensive. As in an outfit can cost as much as a real world new released AAA title. Or an actual real world outfit.

This is after paying full price to buy the game.

Also it apparently forces PVP on you the moment you hit Lvl 50 and it's really easy to level up that far without even trying.

Weapon degradation didn't bother me at all. The thing that really bugged me about Breath of the Wild was thnderstorms. And that fact that if you got caught in one you would have to strip every bit of metal, all your armour and weapons off or risk being killed by lightning. Nice touch, but if you get caught in one after the other as happened every now and then, it was such a chore to take off and then put it back on again once the storm had passed.

I hates everything about the game. Exploration of an empty rather boring world. Weapons being useless. 100+ of the same shrines. The combat being a floaty pile of junk. All of it.

I created Emma Watson in Black Desert. It was cool.

Though the game itself did make me bored af.

A lot of Korean MMOs are like this. Apparently it's a cultural thing, where they consider it a status symbol to be able to afford crazy microtransactions in games.

Did a quick youtube search and yeah, it looks like that's pretty much what the game is best known for is character creation. Pretty impressive, but really, I'm wondering what mainstream game has anything close to that.

Well they are complete suckers for buying in to that shit. Let's say they get what they want. And then what? People who buy in to that shit can't keep going forever unless they got the disposable income. Even then, what if a person gets tired of said games with heavy microtransacs or can't afford it anymore because finanical issues or them blowing all their money on specific game/games? I'd hate to live in South Korea, because of bullshit like that in gaming. I know we got are problems in America and have similar issues, but it sounds worse by comparison.
