Yeah, I feel kinda rejected by these guys, gotta say. Of course they're gonna pair the two gay dudes. BECAUSE THAT'S EASY.

this pairing thing is like we're prepping for a gay Noah's ark.

Same.
Don't get me wrong I'm okay with you and I would do plenty of things with you (And other gaffers ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ) but the pairing just comes off lazy and just pairing us cause we wanted to be paired with someone in the thread and we're both gay.
yeah really
My girlfriend is getting off shift early. then it's deadpool and maybe I'll make her watch me play UC4 if it EVER FINISHES PATCHING.
then maybe a two way if I prove too irresistible
this would be the shittiest noah's ark ever, given its purpose. I'll have to work overtime
oh man looks like fun. I spent so many hours in the mario paint music thing when I was a kid.
Why not go at it while UC4?
OK you get Granadier and Vazra gets Seath, Symphonia and Silphonica.
I get to monetize any and all pairings.
... really? I thought you were gay for some reason...
Yup. I think we should just go off and pout.
I have no idea what Granadier looks like!

my guess would have been pairing jb + you know nothing and vazra + xiao
I have standards.
Low but I do.
The bear approves of this pairing.ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
child there is no earthly way he could be gayer. listen to him do not.
it only plays itself for 60 seconds at a time or so. that's not enough time.
oh wait. it is.

and so it begins.

There are cutscenes longer than 60 seconds tho and there are things HN can do while you play to not ruin the field of view if you catch my drift. No need to thank your sex guru.
Lol no get glasses.

I plan on giving her the biz, but I don't mix biz and games. One or the other!
I think she said she's getting off at 10 (in one hour), which hopefully means she won't be as tired as usual.
This baby will go get some milk straight from the source( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

oh God I'm the last person anyone should be asking for directions. I get lost pretty easily and am not very good at reading road maps, so Siri basically saved my life.
Wow, I agree with almost none of this. If people wanted indie media they could get it, and people who do want that do get it. If people are content with mainstream media then there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
I love summer blockbusters. I love AAA games. Most people do too. That's the reason popular things are popular, because people like them. That's what popular means. Your viewpoint is overly cynical and selfish.
Furthermore, innovation for the sake of innovation should not be praised inherently. Most innovation is bad. Most good innovation eventually gets picked up into the mainstream.
Just curious, have you considered offering her a turn to play? I don't know what her gaming acumen is but I always have fun sharing a game with my partner.
People aren't idiots if they're concerned with how they spend their time and money. They will seek out the resources to discern whether they want to consume said content.
Especially with modern gaming.
That's why I don't see many movies anymore. I know my tastes and most don't match up.
Music is slightly different because there are so many different factors that go into making music, and so many different sounds. You can say you dislike something up until you hear one song from that same thing you dislike and all of a sudden you're opened up to an expanded viewpoint. Frankly that can happen with anything but I find it happens much more frequently with music.

Of course. I'm not a ball hog. Generally she prefers to watch.
I made her play a little Dark Souls 3. She took a crack at Aldrich (which is a difficult boss pretty late in the game). Was cute.

Who gives a shit if a game innovates or not? I only care if it's enjoyable or not.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND PEOPLE WHO DON'T DO THIS
Like there are people in MCU threads who say that they're like 90% mediocre to shit, but still see all of them. Like...why?
If I don't like something, or don't think I'll like something, I'll bail on it. It's a waste of time to do anything else and it just makes people unbearably bitter about the thing
Same reason why people stick with TV series. They're invested and have to see it through no matter how bad it gets.
I made that mistake with Dollhouse, that shit was fuck awful by the end.
::wakes up and sees all the gay pairing shit going around here::
::decides not to go university today because he feels like shit::
Complete opposite of me. I get easily horny while under the influence of alcohol, and that usually means a painfully hard erection.
________
I might have told the Japanese girl that I'm bi. (she send me a picture of her boyfriend and I said I would totally seduce him. Then jokingly called gay but I corrected her that I'm actually bi) And she's like the third person I have ever told that.... I mean I don't give a fuck if it spreads around the campus but she hasn't texted me back since yesterday night...

Overall what matters is if you enjoy the game or not. It can be a cinematic game, it can be a fighters, a visual novel or what some would call a spreadsheet game and as long as someone has fun with it that is what should matter. Afterall there are different markets for people out there and people will buy what they feel like playing in the end. The people feeling threatened that X thing would stop existing because X thing is a trend is a bit silly cause overall there is variety of games to play with.
As for the alcohol and not being able to get it up I actually function fine but the morning after I am extremely horny. TMI WARNING
The last time I got drunk I fapped 6 times in the day. R.I.P
Look, people are free to like what they like. And I'm not asking you to be a conspiracy theorist here but you should really take a moment to understand how manipulative marketing is within mainstream media.
It's not that I don't partake in pop culture. You may be surprised to know the majority of the time when I'm on my commute I'm listening to top 40. I can appreciate extremely shallow stuff for fun too. I'm capable of that.
The problem comes in when people are duped into only partaking in mainstream media. Because as I said, people are missing out on so much by doing that.
Diversity is the spice of life and all that.
I just think that the companies that make the uncharted, tomb raider and call of duty games would love nothing more than for people to only buy those games. And I think there are quite a few people that fall into that trap and ignore worthwhile games like kerbal space program, prison architect, stardew valley and so many others that are more deserving of a persons attention
too say uncharted doesn't innovate is pretty weird. it does so in the tech and art side a lot
you pretty much just listed the most popular indies which made like a shitton of money

So, I get your pie in the sky viewpoint, but games are a business. Apart from the headstrong indies who are also head in the sand about their beliefs, everyone would love it if everybody bought their game.
We don't live in a world where appreciation is enough to survive. You can argue about how shitty that is but it won't change that fact.
I agree, people should be experimental and branch out and try new things, but I don't think arguing with people that they should do that is necessarily beneficial. In fact, it turns people away from whatever you're pushing them towards, even if it's something they would enjoy.
Yeah, I learned my lesson after that. That's why I dipped out of Walking Dead after the first episode. I had to force myself at points to keep watching Breaking Bad because a few episodes were so numbingly boring or the characters were acting in a way they weren't built up.
What are your reasons for finding uncharted enjoyable?
I could have listed more esoteric games but I didn't want to fly completely over everyone's head
Watch all seasons of Glee and tell me what is worst. The show was only decent for 1 season and I decided to torture myself with the rest cause I had a lot of free time. R.I.P
Still would do Darren Criss

Well yes
That's how businesses work
They want money
I mean everyone knows that I have grievances with capitalism but focussing on this is...weird
And saying people are being duped is kind of super insulting. It's more that people just don't care enough to look into less well known stuff, so they don't bother.

No duh.
Companies are not your friend. They are not looking out for you, they are looking out for them. Doesn't matter how big or small they are, they just want your money. Especially the indy devs who make those games you mentioned. They want your money, first and foremost.
Funny lines, fun story (undead enemies aside), fun shootbang. It's just fun. It wasn't my GOTY, but it was fun. And that's what matters.
I was remembered ;~~~;Noob Photoshop time.
sorry if you aren't in, we need Ocean's 52 for fakeGAF
also LOL Vazra hahaha

You have described what marketing is.
Marketing exists to convince a person that if they should by one game this year, buy this one.
Why do you think companies don't stop bullshit console wars? Because it's free exposure/ marketing and guarantees an audience for a thing.
Luckily most people are pretty savvy towards this and pick apart the bullshit to find if a game is worth playing or not.
But marketing also doesn't change a persons opinions or likes, merely reinforces them.
Naughty Dog (as an example) don't need to trick anyone to buy their game.
It's the fourth in a series, people suddenly aren't going to realise that they don't like Uncharted.
Those same people are always going to return because they like those games.
Everything else I was going to say has been pretty much covered already by other people.
Edit : Granadier, doing the lords work there.
Overall I think everyone wants to sell their product. Some have more budget to promote than others but in the end the want the money no matter indie or mainstream. As much as someone might love working for the arts they want money to keep working on their craft.
