The fuck is up with Tomb Raider and the murder porn/laura screaming and groaning constantly? Really hope this knocks off soon. A cut to black would be more than sufficient.
 
Well, I'm not comparing it to the last game, I'm comparing it to good character creators. :p

it's pretty bad, but I got a super accurate version of a buddy of mine by sheer luck and it's hilarious every time I get a cinematic shot of him doing something.

but man, they kind of did a poor job with asian features.

one of the best characters I have right now is a random character which is a mexican dude that looks like Steve Urkel with a big flattop, and he is a straight up ninja, killing left and right. second best character is a balding japanese sniper (who doesn't look even remotely east asian) who looks like a sad salaryman who found his true calling with a rifle in his hands. he's hit critical shots with 5% chance to hit via squad sight from across the map. the guy is a bullet genius.

What if they filmed MPP as Jeff's bachelor party?

Maybe I lucked out, but when I was playing TR I barely died, and none of the deaths really seemed that drawn out. Mostly it was just the enemies gloating that they got me, which isn't that dissimilar to other games.

I was honestly expecting shit like if you fail the
upside down
section of the final boss of Dead Space, where you are literally treated to a 30-second cutscene of Isaac being torn apart limb by limb.

bish gets all the credit :)
10 year old kids who love the Disney universe and their characters just follow the 500 official, fun, in-character accounts on twitter, not the personal one of some random fucking Disney company executive in a suit. :p

JV is the "face" of Disney Infinity. That game must be popular with the kids, right?

Did someone say Dead Space?

I can't exactly say I'm pleased with most of Dead Space's special deaths either, though. Maybe I'm just squeamish.

I'm just at the start and I fucked up because of the prompts missing from a QTE to watch Laura get squished by several boulders (first her legs, get to watch her struggle, then the rest of her) and just now after missing an arrow on a wolf (the beartrap moment) because I didn't know the moment would go into bullet time.

That moment, Pliskin, is why I'm never playing Dead Space 2 again.

Aw come on. Some of us have a fear of needles and especially eyeball business. D:
As much as I really want to play it, I'm going to try and give it a month or two for the mods and tweaks to roll out.
This is a good idea, but I'm confident my first run will be such a trainwreck that I'll be happy to use the mods after anyway.

Ah. Yeah, somehow I never messed up a QTE in that game, but I was playing with a controller and always had the prompts show up.

Well how else would you know that Tomb Raider 2013 is a SERIOUS game??

Rise of the Tomb Raider still has that stuff. I only had one out of combat death but that death involved her being impaled on a pit of spikes and it allowed you to watch her face go slack as she slid further down the spike.

Yeah I'm playing the 2013 game since I discovered I owned it since last year. Probably a humble bundle or something, I really don't remember buying it.
 
It's great hearing the latest Beastcast, with them outlining sleeping habits, the dangers of a lack of sleep, and how none of them can pull all-nighters anymore. And then we get Vinny "2 Hours of Sleep" Caravella in UPF.

Planned or coincidence? We will never know.
Good laughs were had with the Gemini: Heroes Reborn QL

I still don't understand why that corpse froze in midair.

It's a way better than I ever would've guessed, though. With a proper budget it could've been a decent game.

Seems like Vinny knew it would do that which just makes it a common bug when you throw people up in the air like that :p
 
environmental kills are so good in XCOM 2. I was on the roof of a building that had a big open lobby in the middle. took out a muton by tossing a grenade at his feet and watched him fall to his death two floors below when the roof gave out

It's extremely out of place. Imagine if Uncharted did that.

Is this the right place to admit that I think I liked TR more than any Uncharted game?

I felt like the movement felt more natural, I liked the bigger areas to explore in, and I enjoyed the upgrade system, which helped to freshen up the later encounters in a way that Uncharted can't, simply because you pretty much have the same abilities for the entire game.

Don't get me wrong, I like Uncharted. TR just really resonated with me for whatever reason.

I have Rise of the Tomb Raider, but I'm holding off since I just finished TR. Instead, I have returned to my pile of shame and pulled Deus Ex: Human Revolution out. I got to China my first time, then went on vacation and never returned to the game.
 
I liked TR 2013 and I just started RotTR. It's a good podcast/GB video playing in the corner of your monitor game. I don't know if it's worth full attention.

It is very, very pretty on a PC though.
