I play games to have fun m8 not over analyse some d-tier writers story and characters. The combat and set pieces in Tomb Raider were great fun. Plus I love unlocking new areas due to new items or abilities. It tickles my soul in the right places.
Yes!

So many by the numbers games.
Needs more jank.

it was shot in 4:3 aspect radio, right? I hate that.
Counterpoint; Uncharted 3.
Uncharted 3 is an absolute steaming husk of furry dog coils, even with Drake etc.
I'd take a New Vegas or an Alpha Protocol over most AAA titles.
Get a move on Obsidian FFS.
Innit
Don't need good stories in my games. They just need to be fun to actually play. Games are different that way from films. I don't need to be entertained per se to love a film. I need to be having fun to play a game.
that they are
cannae hold onto leads for fucking anything. Cheeses me off. Thrown away so many points this season from winning positions
and we have Mk Dongs with Delle Alli rampaging through us on Monday

Cleggory my hero. Listen to this man
It's about time Obisidian reveals something new.
Yes indeed
But I guess it does indeed what the director intended with it, it's very reminiscent of the zeit geist the film is capturing
Just watch it m8, it's on Netflix

Leicester lost this?

I rented Uncharted 3 initially, but I played the opening scenes and thought "man, I should give them my money". So I went out the same day and bought it.
When I finished it, I regretted it. Horribly designed game. It's amazing how Naughty Dog went from Uncharted 2, which is a superb game, to Uncharted 3 which isn't worth talking about really and then to The Last of Us which is one of the greatest games ever.

Yeah I feel this is where I'm at with it as well.
Was just good fun. PC version looked and ran beautifully, combat was really satisfying and solid, encounter design was on par, some good set pieces etc
Just a lovely, lovely romp all round.
Recently started New Vegas with all the DLC pre loaded and I'm having a ball. So many different ways to complete quests. Quests overlapping with one another that you can finish and even fail ones you didn't even know existed. Loads of skill checks and ways to get around them too. Perks are fantastic too.
Haven't even touched the DLC yet and that's supposed to be better than the regular game! South Park was a great game, but New Vegas is Obsidian at its finest. Jank and all.

Pearson makes Pardew look like a decent bloke
He really is. That interview was weird as fuck.
God this is me sounding right wanky but why.
Horror games aren't fun per se. Cause stress and such. Challenging games aren't always fun. But rewarding.
Why can't games get the same responses films do for you. Why can't they be challenging or emotionally involving or cause stress, panic and make you feel uneasy.
Sound like a right twat but i just think it's so narrow to purely see games as switching off your brain fun. Enjoy those too but my most memorable gaming experiences are rarely me having fun.
From the last few years To The Moon wasn't fun. Ending of Valiant Hearts is most certainly not fun. The Alien thundering after me was not fun. The Walking Dead. Could go on
Eh different strokes I guess.
So good.
Reason why I see these mega threads about performance on gaming side I shrug. New Vegas runs so fucking terribly. Yet I love love love it.
Some crazy debates on Milan and general anti-Juve forums right now. Some people simply can't comprehend how perspective works, loool. They're saying both Sky and Mediaset (lol?) intentionally fucked up the lines ...
What a time to be Juventino. Actually, it's just like any other time.
Alien: Isolation.

The difference is l1nett, if a game is fun I can look past a shit story and what have you.
For example, I play Telltale games for the story and all that jazz. I didn't buy Tomb Raider to see Lara Croft grow as a woman over a length of time. I bought it to shoot some fools with arrows and shit.

There are some good parts of UC3 (Yemen section in particular). But the bad parts are really, really bad (Cruise ship, Desert and maybe the castle in Turkey).
Still, those poor sections of UC3 are still better than Lara and her laser fucking bow and arrow. Seriously, that was the laziest designed weapon in a long, long time. That bow belonged in a Star Wars game not Tomb Raider. And I love that it's the first weapon that she picks up after surviving a ship wreck. She's never killed a man before, yet picks up this bow and is hitting enemies square in the back of the head from distance within minutes.
The bow in The Last Of Us is how these things in games should work. Very fulfilling weapon when used right in that game.
Resolution wars are so embarrassing.
it has been in my hard drive for like 4 months

I'm not sure that line is correct, but I think he'd be even more onside if it was?
I think its because I'm actively in control of it. A game might have the most emotional hardhitting incredible writing of all time, but if it controls like a cunt and is difficult to play, I don't enjoy it.
I don't enjoy the trial and error of the Souls games, getting frustrated when I fail umpteen times. I don't enjoy Alien Isolation for the same reasons.
Bioshock too. Looked great. Story was good. But the gameplay was bog standard average gameplay that felt like a slog to play, so that reflected poorly on the final product.
Films and music are passive, so I can sit there and watch shit films or listen to shit music. But because games and books ask you to actively engage and drive the narrative, its harder to withstand shit.
Like you said, Skyrim's gameplay is bog average. But it's hugely passive gameplay; so easy to play. May not be great gameplay, but it isn't frustrating gameplay.
Crystal whatever they are called spend so much time trying to make you care find it hard to ignore it when talking about the game.
And even If I did would argue the combat design of the game is just as lazy and by the numbers and bland as the rest of it.
But who the fuck am i to say all this shite.
He'd be offside if its supposed to be more to the right.
