Using it as a selling point isn't necessarily bad as long as it has something else going for it tho

I'm reaching a point where I'm not sure if /mu/fags actually listen to what they're preaching, and aren't just name dropping and smug-posting about their 'superior' tastes.

Transistor is one of the few games that does its artsy pretentious story well. Yeah you have to read a layer or two deep into into it, but I liked the game enough that I actually wanted to do an analysis of it. Plus the artstyle and music are just gorgeous.

"Here's what it looks like" is Marketing 101.

>2D starting to bald

>>344029508
Dark Souls. Majora's Mask, Rocket League, Hyper Light Drifter (arguably a selling point), Arkham games, Bioshock, Castle Crashers, Dishonored, Metro 203x, Psychonauts, XCOM:EU.

Just a few I can think of.

>>
>>344033171
MassiveAttack are rather meh to be honest.
I'll give them props for Angel and Risingson, and a thumbs up for fuck knows how many TV shows used Teardrop, but the only enjoyable thing about their stuff is primarily the instrumental work.

The line-up of vocalists is quite forgettable. I can't dig their work as a whole.
>>
>>344035150
See, I can handle this...providing they still do a good tour for it.

If it was the tours that suffered, I'd be mad.
I still haven't seen them live. I fucking WILL eventually.

all britpop is the same

I listen To Gorrilaz, Massive attack, elbow, radiohead and it all the blurs together after a while

Me too, anon. I didn't get into Gorillaz until after the Plastic Beach Tour and I think it'd be fun to seem them live.

Alice in Madness hands down

If art is everything the game has to offer than i'm not really interested.

heh

>>344035995
I got into them after Blur, but their tour has always skipped my location. At most, maybe some DJ sets get played but it's not the actual band performing.

I'll have travel to see them live. I agree it would be good fun.
Ideally, they need to still bring along Little Dragon and Del. I doubt they will though, if it's for a new album.
