I hope you weren't planning on having fun in TF2
Mini sentries are like super easy to manage.
I haven't played in a while but what's the shotgun.
It's 2016, nobody has to worry about that

It's fun until you use your culture points or whatever to encourage the inferiority of the semitic race.
Is it important?
Is it necessary?
I've been thinking about this a lot lately.
Let's take the single most common method games use to portray story in video games, the cut-scene.
The game literally stops being a game for however long it takes to tell you what it's trying to say.
Why is this okay?
It's the same thing with text screens, or walkie-talkie segments.
Even on the opposite end of the spectrum, in games like Dark Souls, which have virtually no cutscenes at all, the story is so divorced from the core experience of the game, you can miss it entirely, and many people have.
Taking all evidence as a whole, it's very easy to come to the conclusion that playing a video game and telling a story are diametrically opposed, and they mix exactly as well as oil and water. So why do they keep doing it?
Story is important, but not necessary.
In story heavy games like The Witcher or Mass Effect it's like you're the director of a movie in a pre-built world, you can choose to do this side quest or take a break doing a mini-game or even decide how the story unfolds and I think that really adds to the fun and immersion of some games.
That being said though, in a game, gameplay is most important.
Story in a videogame is like ketchup on a steak. It is never necessary, but it enhances the experience.

Violence Fight is still and will always be the pinnacle of writing in video games.

Thoughts?
I'm assuming games like TF2 and Warframe aren't up there due to microtransactions
I like Dwarf Fortress (Not as a game, but for the sheer complexity of it all- all made by two brothers) so I like the list.

No Risk of Rain?

When do puzzles stop being ingenious and start becoming bullshit?
Pic obviously related.

Chapter 1, when you have to kill yourself to find out a password in a cell
Is Secret World still even online?
>>339129607
Nigga, that was a beautiful puzzle. It required using game mechanics in unusual way and was heavily hinted.
>final boss kills you
>you then play as your side character
what game?

I'm evil?
Hey guys, I need a new monster breeding game that's similar in mechanics to dragon warrior/quest monster. any games?
Nothing. Trust me, I've tried.
At best, you can get the APK for DQM Super Light if you have an android that isn't old as fuck.
>>339129719
I've heard this is terrible though. So you've looked too? They just don't make em like they use too :(. and I hate the ds graphics.
Jade Cocoon for PS1
Imagine if more Bloodborne dlc was announced at e3
>>339128306
not gonna happen. plus, while the game was lots of fun, i think it's time to let it die and start working on a new one.
>>339128575
This desu senpai. I want FROM to work on new things now, its obvious from DS3 they're tapped out on the souls thing for now
>>339128803
Bloodborne isn't souls, and dlc is new

The key to playing g Reinhard is k owing when to turtle up and knowing when to charge in screaming like a lunatic a d laughing.
Man it's too bad the enemy team can't hear me

The characters looked so good in concept, so terrible in game.
I'm still hoping it's gonna be good, but still, this fucking trailer is cringeworthy. Anime fan on prom? Seriously?
keep hope alive
>>339127495
MEGA MAN FANS BTFO ONCE AGAIN!
>The characters looked so good in concept, so terrible in game.
Yes. They had something and squandered it.

Why DIDN'T /v/ like Crimson Gem Saga?
After digging up my old PSP I got around to replaying it, and it's easily the best JRPG on the console.
No takers?

Korean Brand Grind (TM)
>>339128583
But it wasn't grindy. Like, at all. Hell, I skipped most random encounters and it never even approached hard.
A good build can compensate for a lot in this game.
And it wasn't made in Korea(I think).
Do you think it is a good or bad thing when you can't enjoy video games anymore?
>>339127319
it's good. gives you time to go out and do things that that upstanding people do. Go on a hike with a beautiful vegan girl, run with your attractive female friend who plays soccer, then have sex.
if you get bored, come back and play video games. they'll still be here.
>>339127319
Overall, very good.
This last year I started slowly falling away from video-games. When I would sit down to play any of them, I couldn't help but think there were other things I needed to or should have been doing at the moment, whether it was homework, or even non-mandatory activities like practicing my skills on the piano or drawing. Over time I've grown to stop playing videogames and have realized how much more effective I've been with my time.
My biggest downside with it is the realization of how much money I've wasted on them. I have hundreds of dollars worth of games that I'm still not sure if I should sell.
Bad, I'd say.
Not just video games, but from a "bigger picture" point of view, losing interest or enjoyment in things that you enjoyed previously is a sign of depression.
How important is a game's soundtrack to you?
Very.
>>339127274
very. First is gameplay second is ost. It´s what shapes the atmosphere of the game, it´s what makes good bossfights 10/10 bossfights. I played many games because I found their ost on youtube and liked it.
