NSFW Best Thread Ever [No SJW-related posts allowed]

Leisure Suit Larry 7 had you take a shit. So did 6 IIRC.

Hell so did 1...

 

I'm pretty certain that in some of the other LSL games that taking a shit would get you killed.

Hell, you took a shit as Roger Wilco in Space Quest 2.

 

Wow, that's deep.

 

And wear a condom, remember kids - safe sex or you see game over screen.

 

atleast if you go for the local whore.

 

On the bright side, in the original interview (at the infamous and recently ubiquitous MCV) which that article draws from, it looks like he is saying Cage is a genius at CYOA story writing, but that he has some reservations about that type of approach:

So I kind of read that as a criticism couched in polite flattery for the sake of being politic; he's saying that its good for what it is, but "what it is" is not what games should aspire to.

 

So, what you can take from this is that Spector endorses Cage's cinematic approach but likes to state the obvious, such as 'we don't yet have genuine AI?' Because that's what I got from him in the past.

 

:vaderbigNOOOOOO:

(not that I've been expecting much from his actual output in recent years)

Its funny though, because, stripped of all the melodramatic bawwwing about immaturity and meaning, Cage's diagnosis of the problem is basically shitty writing and excessive focus on mindless combat [sidenote: hilarious that he thinks Hollywood is the solution to this]. Some of the games that are particularly well regarded on the 'dex are ones that have good writing and significant focus on non-combat solutions. PS:T is an obvious example, but Arcanum, Fallout and VtM Bloodlines also spring to mind as games that do this well.

 

There's only one response to people who think AAA production values and making a game like that can be combined in a manner that doesn't lead to total fucking economic disaster:

 

Yeah, that was what was odd about Cage's argument as well; it took the typical form of an argument for games growing into a medium that garners the same respect as film, but it was essentially an argument for increasing sales to a mainstream level (whatever that would be).

To hear AAA developers lbemoaning the immaturity of the medium is like hearing Michael Bay complaining that film fails to live up to the novel as an art form because he's compelled to make Transformers 8 if he wants to have a blockbuster. The market is there, you just have to resign yourself to doing things in a different way from what you are used to.

Exactly. The costs of triple AAA production values require a high enough level of sales that the lowest common denominator is generally going to be the only viable market. You can have all that stuff as extra, but at you need at least one of the holy trinity of blockbuster sales: gratuitous sex, violence or dick and fart jokes.

Ironically, the only consistent exception to this in film is...wait for it...children's movies! (Pixar, Disney, ET, etc.)

 

I started watching some related videos and ended up with this image.

Before death came, the liars were made to feast upon the hands of the thieves, and the thieves were made to ingest the tongues of their liar brothers, and we praised the Master Builder for his judgements.

What is dead may never die.

 

That would take of both the copyrightfags and that filthy little bitch that deprived me of my original My Little Pony pony when I was in primary school.

Searched for Wizardries, it found only one, a jap one at that.

So, nah. And the only Ultimas are VI and Black Gate.

I know that feel, bro

 

I don't get it.

I mean, I can sort-of understand why someone would collect a bunch of stuff just to have it around in sealed boxes and never open it. Sort-of. But what is the point of buying someone elses collection? It's not like you're the one who hunted down all the rare bits and pieces. You just paid an exorbitant sum on ebay to have someone elses boxes taking up space in your home, with you being unlikely to ever open and play said boxes because that would mean they are no longer factory sealed.

If it's stuff I've collected throughout the years, at least it'll have some nostalgia and stories connected to it. Having someone elses stuff taking up all that space in my home would feel wrong. :S

 

yeah, it is a respecting collection of consoles, but it is severely lacking in the PC department.

also, i see a severe lack in Commodore too.
