This is depressing as fuck and the worst way to start the weekend, I'm out.

Fake Blade Runner is pretty depressing, yeah.

 

[Lijik]

Yes?

I can't read minds over the internet, so I don't know how to reply to your witty ellipsis.

what serviceable game that got mediocre reviews can you not say that about though? even something trashy like that call of duty vita game had a minor cult following on gaf.

Yup, just check out any Devil's Third thread (I haven't played that game)

EDF! EDF! EDF!

 

[ratcliffja]

OK Yeah LiS got REALLY hilarious in this latest one. Maybe you guys were right.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Holy shit game

 

[Zaph]

Their reaction to the insane melodrama here was the same as mine. This was the YA fiction/telenovela crossing point where the game really lost me.

 

[funkystudent]

Press A to Morphine.

 

[Kaizer]

MAAAAN, this is sad. They're laying it on a tad bit much though.

 

[Death Metalist]

Please. no spoilers guys. I want to play the game but I'm waiting for the awesome edition releasing in Jan.

 

[justjim89]

I didn't notice when I played through this just how thick they spread it on.

It's gotta be intentional, right? RIGHT?

 

[MassiveNights]

That Star Wars chat on the Beastcast is incredible.

 

[Mister Negative]

I like that they think they know where this is going, but

Spoiler

where it's actually going is EVEN WORSE.

 

[skLaFarebear]

You should probably try to avoid the thread then. Its gonna be spoiler city, especially if they do finish episode 4.

 

[funkystudent]

Jeez


JEEZ

JEEZ

 

[skLaFarebear]

I am so glad that they're struggling with this.

 

[tuxfool]

why is accepting so hard for people?

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

why is accepting so hard for people?

Most people aren't sociopaths.

 

[tuxfool]

Most people aren't sociopaths.

I just don't view it the same way. Maybe I should say that of course it is hard, but why isn't accepting the correct choice here.

Spoiler

The game makes it clear she is dying anyway.

 

[repeater]

Wait.. what was that

Spoiler

"Sooner than you think"

? That sounds hella bad, even in this already dreadful context.

 

[Zaph]

It's gotta be intentional, right? RIGHT?

You would hope, but to what end? I can't see a benefit to ditching all nuance and subtly and bashing the player over the head with drama.

That Star Wars chat on the Beastcast is incredible.

Had to pause it on the tube at that point because I was starting to laugh like a mad man.

Looking at the reactions here, I'm in for a good playdate when I catch up later.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I got something in both my eyes.

 

[broncobuster]

Slowly remembering how long Episode 4 is. They aren't finishing this in one sitting.

 

[LiK]

yea, i'll finally watch it. wonder if this changes what they think of the game after GOTY discussions.

 

[Mister Negative]

Heh, this song in the game has lyrics about

Spoiler

being a defensive driver.

 

[repeater]

I got something in both my eyes.

I mean, you can certainly criticize the writers for being a little too on the nose with things, but I feel like this game has a lot of heart and a lot of.. guts, I guess?

 

[skLaFarebear]

Definitely.

Spoiler

No Vortex Party this week

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Wait... I think someone across the road from my place is beating a car with a 2x4.

Wonder what that is about.

Edit.

Ok judging from yelling some dude got it on with dudes GF and the dude decided to smash the guys car. And now the police are talking.

FUN TIMES.

Periscope that shit!

In the words of Kotaku-writer Patrick Klepek: "you’ve got moxie, Life Is Strange."

 

[daydream]

hella ace teen max caulfield on the case

 

[Chuck]

Apparently everyone is dying in their life is strange play through, according to these reactions.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Totally. Silly dialogue aside, that whole part was handled so well. I am on board with this game.

Pee-ae-tyr, Stourm-iyr is not impressed.

 

[demidar]

Better to overhandle it than underhandle it I say.

I suppose it depends if you classify wendigo dead or alive.

 

[tuxfool]

Yup. This is something you can always improve on the writing in future projects, but one can never truly know the line until you have examples to compare against.

"GAF"?

"I still think there's something going on."

OH HOW LITTLE YOU KNOW!

 

[Lelcar]

Man, they got a waaaaay different experience with David than I did. My David never hit Chloe and after that he was kinda nice. He totally didn't go down this asshole plotline like what Beast got.

 

[ratcliffja]

Well... at least we still have UPF left. That was really, really boring after the funny start, though.

 

[skLaFarebear]

If they actually do 2 streams for LiS next week they could potentially finish it. I think there's about 5 hours left of the game between episodes 4 and 5

Rainbow Six Siege has sold around 80-100K on steam at full price which is pretty good given it's a uplay game that can be had for much cheaper via that route. Just mention that as it's a decent sign of it maintaining some kind of player count. It got generally good reviews as well(78 on pc, and 74 on consoles) so I'm not sure why so many people in here are acting like it's generally thought of as mediocre.

It's just weird how many posts in this thread label people who have different opinions than part of the crew and mention it in the context of it getting brought on the site get labelled Ubisoft apologists, fanboys, or whatever. Oh well.

 

[Data West]

Assassin's Creed: Revelations is 80 on metacritic. It must not be mediocre.

I don't disagree with you, the game looks fine from what I've seen from the QL. But you should know better than to use sales numbers as a way to justify quality.

A lot of people are very reasonable and level-headed until somebody picks on their game. Then suddenly it's a different story.
