What was the exact reason Team Fortress 2 died?
Nightmare difficultyDon't mention Overwatch
Hell difficultyDon't mention the game going free to play
>>340664519
It's old and people got tired of it
It got boring and repetetive.
Personally, I dropped it after three months and never returned. I'm surprised hats kept that many players interested for so long.
>>340664519
One of the top games on steam.
No where near dead.
Rather than repeating the same old Kirby trivia and factoids here, ad nauseum (comin' right back at ya~!), I will instead delve into a bit of philosophy. Kirby is, in my opinion, quite Taoist in essence-- Tao, meaning he embodies many of the traits of the ancient Chinese Way. For example, in his modest appearance, Kirby is small, pink, and always wears a happy face (disregarding American Box-arts). His cute exterior masks his true inner potential and ferocious skills/appetite- much like how a true master of martial arts does not go around starting fights, both paths are the key to a long, happy life. He is an entity composed of opposite energies and can produce the Five Elements: Kirby can be cold as ice, hot as fire, quick as lightning, still as stone, soft as a cloud- or sharp as needles. One of Kirby's most famous skills is the ability to inhale enemies and their attacks, and either copy them, or spit them back out as stars. This technique is certainly very similar to TaiChi, where the opponent's force is used against them. The way Kirby gains abilities can be thought of as the potential each of us has within ourselves- we have the chi to become anything we set our minds to, with proper direction and diligence. Kirby is round and simple- a symbolic representation of the cycle of life and the genuine nature of all things. Kirby has good morals (De), always helping those who come to him in need, and often making friends, going so far as to convert former enemies into friends through pure will and good-character. Finally, both he and Dedede know the value of Wu Wei: despite his fame and power, Kirby prefers to live the lazy lifestyle in the amazingly peaceful Dream Land, where the King rules by doing absolutely nothing. Yes, Kirby's world is full of valuable lessons we can all apply to ourselves, if one is willing to delve deeper than the surface of this subtly philosophical series.

this thread is too deep for me man
So yeah, King Dedede totally pwns. He has all the basic abilities Kirby has (sans Copy Abilities), in addition to his strength to crush lesser beings by his mighty jumps, as well as to lift that massive mallet, which coincidentally grants him all the moves Hammer Ability enables. Dedede's also the most developed Kirby character, personality-wise, in my opinion, aided by the fact that he's appeared in every game but KatAM. In the beginning, the King started off as a thief and a glutton (though he still has these traits), ruling over the populace by depriving them of necessities. After being bested by Kirby, Dedede trained hard to achieve the same strength as the pink pudge displayed, yet was again trumped by a powered-up Kirby when trying to protect the kingdom (albeit, by stealing again). Then, in Super Star +Ultra, Dedede continued to challenge and compete with Kirby, striving to be better than him in fighting and eating, but both times being dethroned and shown the error of his ways. Even after all his Revenge planning, it just goes to show, jealousy and force can not darken a heart as pure as Kirby's. Then, he was possessed a couple of times, and was actually grateful to Kirby for aiding him and his kingdom. This is when Dedede truly has a change of heart, and (begrudgingly) helps him out in times of need. Afterwords, having LEARNED his lessons, both Dedede and Kirby generally are on good terms (and an awesome playable character in Return to Dream Land!), except when the former is falsely accused by the latter of misdeeds, or when Kirby indignantly intrudes on the King's private property (Get of'fa my lawn, ya darn kids!). Personally, I believe my attitude and style also reflect Dedede's progression/philosophy, and I guess that's another reason I'm so drawn to his character. Here's hoping he continues to play a fun, helpful role in future games, as well as further embraces his Japanese-ness, as seen in Ninja Dojo and Samurai Kirby-- Whaha~!
Parasol Waddle Dee is a very special case- there is no other character in Dream Land who inherently does not offer an ability, yet whose power is a direct result of the tool in which they currently possess. This intriguing aspect makes me wonder, just how closely related Kirby and the Waddle Dees may actually be. Kirby acquires his Abilities by inhaling and copying the essence of his foes, but Waddle Dee has no mouth, and therefore can never learn in this most efficient way. It would seem, that the only way Waddle Dee can learn skills (potentially gaining the effects of Copy Abilities, himself) is just like the struggle of the common man-- everyone must practice hard, learn the tools of the trade, and use that knowledge and skill to elevate your lowly position in life. Again, I like the Kirby Anime's take on the Waddle Dees being a metaphor for the struggle of Chinese laborers, which is actually very fitting for their tireless/timeless nature. In addition to parasol use, Waddle Dees are also talented in wielding spears as weapons (and to prove Waddle Dees learn, just look at Bandanna Dee's progression from KSSU to RtDL-- he mastered- nay, pioneered- Spear Ability in so short a time!) in addition to riding Nruffs and piloting various craft/vehicles. Finally, one last bit of interesting info is that Waddle Dee was originally going to be a playable character in Kirby 64 (instead of just providing a lift every now and then) like King Dedede. Waddle Dee's signature trait would have been to pick up other enemy characters and use their actions and attributes to attack and move about the stages, similar to how they use items in the more recent games. This "over-the-head" trick was later adopted by Kirby in the game's final product. You were so close Waddle Dee~!

And people complain about the 4 NSMB games made in the same timeframe.
Does /v/ like Life is Strange?
It's okay, episode 5 was shit though

I liked it, but the ending kinda felt rushed.
Comfy as fug desu

Wait so Ornstein wasn't real then?
>>340663442
Popular theory is that Ornstein was an illusion like most of the other stuff in Anor Londo, because he left to find Gwyn's firstborn (that's from another item description, forget which one).
>>340663442
Is Smough Aldrich?
>>340663805

I recently bought this mouse at a garage sale for $2, and it has a strange issue of randomly cutting out, does /v/ have a solution to this, all I could find was a multi click problem when I looked online.
One other thing I tried was disabling USB selective suspension in power settings, haven't gone long enough to see if that fixed it.

This means kotaku is finished?

We should start our own group account, and buy Gawker out. Immediately print articles with completely contradicting the sort of articles they've been printing for the past few years.

I guess you can say... the game is dead...on arrival
>Multimedia giant produces shitty triple A game that has huge explosion of players in its first month due to shilling and marketing, but they quickly leave due to the game being trash or shallow

You're a faggot OP.

Also, I love wrecking people as the Killer. People think Jukes will save them, but smart killers are on to their shit and will go around or fake them out and head them off at the pass.

Is there any reason to not chose charisma in the rpgs that have it? it's always a press this buttom to skip quest and get reward.

>>340668195
more dialogue option mean more variety
also it gives you the possibility to play suave smooth-talkingif it works rightcharacter instead of your default overall badass
Because I'd rather just stab them in the neck and take what I want than talk them into giving it to me. Tongues may be sharp, but a knife is shaper.

Crash 2.
ITT: games that disappointed you and why. This doesn't mean they're bad games or that you hate them, but just games that didn't quite meet your expectations.
I'll start:
- Lack of variety within locations, most locations are city-based.
- Many boss fights are simplistic, only two genuinely challenging bosses in the whole game.
- Best weapon and clothing is given early in the game.
- Not enough boss fights, almost half of the game is delivered through monotonous chalice dungeons (some are worth doing, most are not).
> Lack of ability to hold a weapon arsenal larger than two weapons.
> Weapon upgrades are useless if you want to change your weapons
> enemies are bullet sponges on highest difficulty
> Lady Comstock a shit
> shitty narrative full of plotholes and contradictions
> gameplay mechanics such as hacking seen in earlier games now gone for good
> overhyped by reviewers, journalists and fans
Also the game is shit.
battleborn a shit
>not scary at all
>everything is blurry
>gameplay sucks
>awful voice acting
>b tier movie story
>everything it tries to do other games does better
