I hope you find video game love again one day.
Perfect.
You gotta keep the ADS crutch around for COD players I guess
Yes.
I tried to get into EFLC over Christmas and it was horrible.
Then I played Sleeping Dogs a couple weeks ago, what an amazing game.

I predict some people will enjoy this game and some won't.
I hope he does. Good stuff.

Yep, Sleeping Dogs was real progress in the open world genre and scored not as well as what I expected.
If this game is the same way then so be it.
That being said, GTA V better not suck.

Before The Matrix Reloaded came out, I was so incredibly hyped. Having never been let down before, I was blind. Some guy asked me "But what if the film sucks. What will you do then?".
I just laughed, because it was impossible. I almost didn't understand the question. How could the sequel to The Matrix be bad?

Patcher is that you...?
Soon,soon...
Geez guys, I chuckled a bit.
Meh, I am alive is alright I guess. Playing that now. And God of War wasn't...completely awful, so March hasn't been a total disappointment for me yet.

If you don't like it, it's okay, Truant.

How long has it been Derrick since you have found gaming bliss?
What about Dark Souls Derrick?
Actually just list off games that you enjoyed from this generation.
Tangent here, but I think this generation is going to be looked back on very poorly as probably one of the worst generations for the medium.
I found it last week with Sleeping Dogs
Then a week before that with Aria of Sorrow
And now I am finding it with Don't Starve.
I can't trip without falling onto amazing games.
Have you ever played I am alive before? If not I might as well warn you that their budget obviously ran out before they completed the game.....
I fully expect the final 'what if' to be true, since "shitty story" is true of almost all games.
My hopes for Bioshock Infinite is that the world design is sufficiently intriguing and holds up over its length. That's what kept me going in Bioshock, the gorgeous and brilliantly creative world design.
As for shooting, as long as it's decent - because Bioshock's shooting mechanics were decent, at worst - I won't complain too much. I hope that battles have multiple viable approaches and that being flexible actually means something, but these days... I'll settle for decent combat
How have we seen the game will be good for ourselves? I mean, we can know we enjoy the type of gameplay this game involves, but without knowing just how good the enemy A.I. is or the level design or anything like that, it's difficult to know if it will be good or bad. They've been pretty secretive about a lot. It's not like Tomb Raider where the actual minutiae of the gameplay design was bad in of itself so it was easy to predict how it would be in the end for your taste... this game has a lot more variables that are unknown qualities to us.
That said, people should ignore reviews because games journalism is a horrid joke, and every single day that passes simply verifies this fact. Whether every review is a 10/10 or a 1/10, it's utterly worthless in determining anything one way or the other

Derrick01 whining about a good game. News. Dude should write some pessimistic philosophical book for games.
NeoGAF poster claims a game is good without having any prior hands-on experience. News.

With all the info so far, you really think it will be bad? Come on.NeoGAF poster claims a game is good without having any prior hands-on experience. News.

We still won't know until release. We've had hype like this before.
Do I think it will be bad? No
Do I think it is unsafe to assume it will be good based on information released by the developer and other sources paid to push a product for the developer? Yes

Whatever. I prefer to stay positive.

I feel really blessed for being able to enjoy so many games, maybe it's because I don't expect each one of them to be a life changing experience.

That wasn't what you were asking though...
You can stay positive while not being absurdly idealistic. I think the game will probably be good, I really liked Bioshock 1 and 2, but to expect it to be so based on previews and some carefully crafted trailers? That's just being naive. They craft this stuff to entice people, they're trying to put only their best foot forward
I guess we'll need another 5000 videogame release controversies before people learn

I'm sure I could of think of something in the last 4 years if I thought hard enough.
The whole game shows how much trouble that dev cycle went through. It has a lot of ambitious little features though, would definitely like to see another game like it but without the multi-year development hell.
Wait I did what now? All I said was I wouldn't be surprised if this turns out how DTKT was joking it would.

Oh look, posters joyfully frolicking on Derrick's nutsack again.

Questioning his ability to enjoy games is frolicking?
Get out of here with that shit.
Gaming bliss is ANTICHAMBER on PC
if Derrick01 does not like ANTICHAMBER on PC, it is because he is a hardcore gamer FRAUD >
That is not a completely far-fetched assumption Ami.

I did see someone saying he was excited for Derrik because he had high hopes for TLOU, that gave me a good laugh. Had no idea so many people were rooting for him to enjoy a game again. Good for him I guess lol.

Considering it's been happening often in this very trade alone, and every thread where he posts, then fuck yes it is. It's a neogaf meme at this point.

I got a headache just looking at the screens of it on the Steam page. I don't think I will ever play that.
if ya'll would just focus on the complaints he makes instead of the person making them and however much perceived 'negativity' he/she has all the time, we'd skip over the annoying parts of these conversations
Derrick01 just has a certain set of standards and he religiously sticks to them; I do too. But if he puts forth an idea and you don't agree with it, just explain what aspect you disagree about with the idea itself. Would save everybody time.

Just give us suggestions on what game to play and we'll just assume that you hate the rest.

Shame. It's the epitome of pure game design. Absolutely no fat. As soon as you start, you're instantly already playing - the start screen is the game's starting room, so you're presented with controls on the wall, a timer and a map you can go to to begin. EVERY single thing you encounter in this game is tutorial free. Doesn't matter how complex the puzzles may get, they're all variations on mechanics you'll naturally learn by progressing through the game's increasingly clever puzzles. The game will never say "oh, hey, press A to do this", it'll simply present you with something and through sheer experimentation you will learn if an action you do is wrong or right (or somewhere in between) and then use that learned knowledge to apply to future logic/perspective/etc puzzles. Despite this, it's not even remotely obtuse. It doesn't think gamers are stupid, shocking!
It's a game that doesn't give a shit about retard gamers who have no motor skills or don't want to put effort into getting better at things. It's the biggest middle finger to modern game design as I can think of.
I mean if I played that I would get migraines because of that art style. Those mindfuck styles some indie games go for hurt my head. I can't even play hotline miami without getting migraines.

So how many of you are doing midnight for this? :3
*raises hand*
I believe I will be playing until sunrise as well. Havent done it since PAL Xenoblade before it was announced for 'Merica.
Why people have no faith in the studio that brought as the "highest-rated first-person shooter of all time" is beyond me.
