Shagger

Take some solace in the fact that woman age like a fine wine. Men age like beer that's been sitting out. Happy Birthday!

Bullfrog. I loved what they put out. Dungeon Keeper, Theme Hospital and Magic Carpet defined my early-mid teen, then they EA'd out of existence.

I think you could have been kinder to your friend. Doing YouTube to "get somewhere" or make it a career is the wrong reason to do it. The reason to do it is to share your passion for something. If it ends up becoming successful, then all the better, but nobody should be discouraged from trying just because the odds of success are so slim. I watch plenty of content of YouTube that isn't flash and made of a big budget. It can work so long as the content and the personality is there, and if your friend wants to share his passion for model trains and discuss them online, then I say more power to him.

Two Point Hospital is a good one. A spiritual successor to Bullfrog's classic Theme Hospital. It's a management game with good humour and a comical art style, surprisingly challenging as well.

Some games, like Remnant and Monster Hunter, do have online components that necessitate the game world itself being sustained in real time. Not that it isn't annoying in those games as well at times, bit I can least understand why it's necessary. But for single player games , there is no excuse for this. And before anyone says anything, that thing Demon's Souls dose with messages from other players left behind by thier "ghosts" doesn't count. Firstly, it doesn't work because people just post whatever they want, even complete lies about what's ahead, and it is indistinguishable from the truth, rendering the mechanic completely pointless. Secondly, those "ghosts" loop in and loop out of the game periodically, there is no interaction with any players sustained, live world in thier own game. It's actually more similar to how the pawns worked in Dragon's Dogma. The difference is (Well, one of several, chief among witch being that pawns actually HELP you) that those ghosts only appear when the other player is actually logged in online, whereas in Dragon's Dogma the data is loaded from the other players save data. You can have that feature in DS, and still allow the game to pause, just like in Dragon's Dogma.

I think this topic makes more sense in the "Music" sub-forum. So, ill move it there for now but if people feel this is a gaming topic, I'll move it back.

Silence every time. What if the reason your pausing the is so you can answer the phone, talk to someone or answer the door? Games that pause, but don't silence while paused are actually something of a peeve of mine. I get what you're saying about ambient atmosphere, but pausing isn't a gameplay element, it's a quality of life feature with one function and that function is singular and obvious. There's no real point in a game keeping the music or some other sound playing to keep the player immersed because the only reason one ever pauses a game is because something in the real world need their attention and takes priority in that moment. The door, a phone, needing to visit the bathroom, getting hungry or whatever. So the immersion has already been interrupted by whatever you needed to pause for in the first place. That immersion will only come back when that person has dealt with whatever issue that necessitated the pause, settled down and is now ready to give the game thier full attention again.

I wouldn't call it a full on boycott, but I have been avoiding buying games from Ubisoft and Activision/Blizzard recently. DLC, microtransactions, NFT's and bad releases are insignificant to companies that are guilty of having thier employees work in the kind of abusive culture that these two have had, and pretty much still have.

I really am starting to tire of your attempts to insult the intelligence of the people who post on this forum. No only is all of that completely untrue, you're trying to muddle reality, clearly in the efforts to make you more straightforward, but misguided views more palatable. For your sake, I hope that's what you're doing because the only alternative that makes sense is that you don't really have a clue what you're talking about. Either, it's not going to work. First of, it's very clear what "progressives" are as a social/political stance. It's people who believe in a progressive society. They believe that a society advances and best evolves through change rather than relying of older values. There not referred to as "regressives", that is really fucking stupid to say as that is literally the exact opposite. It's also not accurate nor fair to label them as "SJWs" or "Wokists" because there liberal extremes. It's like saying all Muslims are terrorists, which is obviously ridiculous. But of course, you'll paint everyone with liberal or progressive views with the same brush because that's what you, as someone so determined to push your own social/political ideology onto this forum, do. Sorry mate, but whilst you may be used to people who would fall at such propaganda and manipulation, we are not that stupid. And that is what really annoys me about you. You come on this forum wanting us to be stupid, counting on us be be impressionable. What your doing here is wrong. It's morally questionable, it's lies whether you know that or not and it's insulting to this community that you think we are only here to soak up whatever you have to say, and how dare we question it. That's why you can't handle people disagreeing with you on your views, isn't it? For you it's not about personal, but optional, vindication of what you believe, for you it's the goal. The whole purpose of being here. When you don't get it (and let's face it, it's rare that you do), that's a failure on you part. However, you can't look at yourself and think "Maybe it's me that's wrong?", your overly inflated ego would never allow that. So you last out, accuse people of "attacking" you when all they're doing is challenging your opinions. Newsflash, that's what forums are for! Me and others, like @Reality vs Adventure bring up you older posts and past behaviour like we do because you never learn from it. That has been personally frustrating to me since even your early days on VGR. I've said it before, I think you're a smart guy, but nobody, no matter how intelligent or knowledgeable they are, is ready to teach anyone anything unless they themselves are first able to learn. People offering vindication on what you say and especially how you feel are nice things, but if your not enough without them, trust me when I tell you you will not be enough with them. Ask yourself, are you here willing and able to learn? It partake of knowledge as will as impart it. If the answer is no, then I'm sorry, but I must inform you that you came here for the wrong reasons and I think you're wasting your time.

I've only got so far into it, but I like what I've seen of it so far. As some people on this forum may be aware, I am NOT a fan of Soul's games, but a lot of the really annoying things that I have seen in Souls games and thankfully missing. You can pause and there is actually multiple difficulty options. Like I said, I only just started playing and can't say how frustrating the combat might get, but the combat does feel slow like a Souls game. I probably wouldn't have bothered with Fallen Order if wasn't on EA play that I ca access through my Gamepass subscription, but even if, like me, you are not a fan of Souls games in general, it might be worth a try.

I don't want a ridiculously long story, I simply want a good one. There is no way the Dying Light 2's (made a small edit to this threads title) campaign can be that long without a stupid amount of padding.

Once it is copied to the clipboard, all you have to do is press Ctrl+C simultaneously to paste it. On mobile, the pate option should be in a drop down menu if you hold on the text box. What device are you using?

There is some logic to be found in what you said @Crazycrab, but that doesn't change the fact the Bismarck may be the only ship in history that has testicles, and there is nothing that anyone can say that will make that not weird. @The Blackangel, it's just as likely those kingdoms were rules by a, you know, king? I don't know, I think @Crazycrab had point. The world is used to it, but if one actually stops and thinks about it, the thing about ships being female is a bit strange. The Bismarck being the only one with a dangle is just even stranger.

Well, they don't. At least not exclusives. There are plenty of games that were on PS3, but they're almost entirely multiplatform titles.

Well, that's what Steam is. Pretty much all games on PC are sold digitally these days. You just don't get physical copies of games on PC anymore.

Whether the glitches be many or few, there is no excuse for FIFA to have them at all. When they basically put out last years game with the bare minimum of changes the absolute bottom line, the minimum to expect is for the game to function properly. You can't forgive glitches in a FIFA like one might in a big, open world game that's been developed from scratch. There is no excuse for EA to release FIFA or Madden year on year in a state that's anything less than perfect.

In future @Kane99, if you make topics like this can you please post a link to the game in question? Having done my research I now know of at least 2 video games based on Cobra Kai that exist, so you see why it's important to link specifically what you're referring to. A little common sense isn't much to ask for. I'm going to assume you mean this game that released on major consoles and PC in October 2020; Honestly, I think it looks terrible. A generic and rather choppy beat-em-up with some god awful graphics that I think is trying to be a spiritual successor to The Karate Kid on NES. It does kind of make sense to do that given that the Cobra Kai TV show is a follow up to the Karate Kid movies, but The Karate Kid game was awful! Why wouldn't you just try something different? I think people would have been fine if you didn't try quite that hard to follow what had come before!

That is so great! Very happy for you!

I don't mean to speak for her, but I believe she is referring to her Muscular Dystrophy.

His sister ship, and it was a sister, was named after Alfred Peter Friedrich von Tirpitz, a German Grand Admiral. He was man. So you see, it still makes no sense.

In response to the actual topic, there is only one difference between a game that's "woke" and a game that's "offensive", and it's not even in the game itself, but in the person observing it. They're both needlessly offended in a way that a civilised, sensible person wouldn't be observing the same thing, It's just as stupid for someone to be offended by a female character being needlessly sexualised as somebody being offended, and offended is the right word, by the same character now wearing jeans instead of skin tight short shorts. I've been playing a game called The Vagrant on steam (I'm tempted to do a "Shagger Says" on this game when I'm done) and it's from a publisher that's known for catering to a, well, let's say "I'm not crying, but still need an ample supply of tissues" demographic. And yes, the protagonist looks lie she just walked of the set of "Lord of the G-Srings" or some shit. However, the game itself, that I only bought to use up leftover funds from my Steam wallet, is superb! A dark, gothic side scrolling JRPG in the art style of some Vanillaware games like Odin's Sphere. It's brilliant and I honestly don't think anyone's Steam library is right without it. The story is fantastic and really engaging, the gameplay is satisfying, it is gorgeous and at $4 it is the bargain of the century. The main character may be drawn like she belongs in a god damb hentai, but that is the last reason anyone should choose to buy or not buy this game. However, there will be people who will do one thing or the other and it is not fair on the game. So because of that, I would say they would have been better of designing the main character in a way that was more, let's say, subtle. Does that mean I'm offended by the way she looks? No. If I was, I wouldn't have tried the game to begin with. Did the way she looked persuade me to buy the game? Again, no. Like it or not, when you swim through the bargin basement on Steam, the kindest thing I can say is that it's an ocean of lowest common denominator mucus, so even The Vagrant actually stands out as something to take at least a little bit more seriously. Like I said, I might do a full boar full roar "Shagger Say's" on the game, but TL;DR is, it's $4, buy it, I promise you won't regret it. I used "the Vagrant" as an example of how I'm a rational person and how I hoped everyone would view a game like that. I understand why some people would attack the game over the design of the main character and I would too if the game used that as crutch because it had no other way to stand on it's own, but that just isn't the case. There will be people who will defend the game from such attacks because "complaining about it makes you woke", and to me that's at least just as stupid. Don't jump on hate trains or bandwagons, don't stand up for any cause other than your own and what you truly believe in, and if you do, make it about something that actually matters.

I feel compelled to tell you can post YouTube videos of songs quite easily simply by copy and pasting the link to said song into your post. I've edited your post add the song you described as an example.
