You're being completely illogical and irrational here because you're putting all the blame on the offeror and not the dimwits who sold their soul.

Where on Earth did I place all the blame on the buyer?

Buying exclusiveness isn't new. Monoplozing isn't new. Epic is tryna be the Walmart or Amazon of gaming platforms. Its that simple.

Amazon didn't become the Amazon of the internet by buying exclusivity. I doubt Walmart did for physical stores either.

Grasping for straws.

I don't see how. If someone deliberately, through their own free will preforms a given action, I see no reason why I shouldn't consider them responsible for that action.

PAYING DEVELOPERS BAD

Paying developers to be exclusive to one store is indeed bad as far as I am concerned. I'm not sure why you cut the key bit out. I mean surely you can't genuinely think I think no store should ever pay any money to people who's product they sell.

Strange post, In The Valley of Gods is still listed on Steam so I don't see any reason to think it's been cancelled. Here's a link:

"Game devs sell their exclusiveness to EG"

IT'S Epics FAULT!!!!

Was Epic forced to pay for exclusivity? If not, then yes they are at fault.

Veggeta_EDGE posted...

So the argument here on why Steam is a God to you fanboys is that they don't have exclusiveness? The reason why EP is the devil is because they want games to be exclusive to their platform. I want you all to make this very clear.

I don't think Steam is God, nor am I a fanboy. I'm quite happy to buy games on other platforms. My biggest issue with Epic Games is, indeed the fact that they are paying other companies to make their games exclusive to EGS. The lack of other store features like lacking mod support is annoying but not as much.

Right. I thought you were talking about the grid like layout of the intercity road network

No, I meant the grid layout used in individual cities. The intercity road network is mostly newish and I wouldn't call it historical.

scar the 1 posted...

Is that really because of the layout?

It's mostly due to that fact that historically American cities all use the same grid length with no smaller or longer squares. This results in every road essentially constantly being interrupted by other traffic from roads, which slows down traffic.

Veggeta_EDGE posted...

His obvious point is that you guys are giving Steam exceptions and downplaying their shitty greedy business practices while completely over dramatizing shit with hater boner towards EP as if they are going to start WW3 when they have more or less the same shitty business practices.

I'm sorry, but Steam doesn't have anything remotely equal to Epic's whole "we are paying other companies to make there game only available on our platform".

But Math and Legos doesn't?

I agree with you in regards to Math but not Legos. How do you turn a material into plural? Do you say you have two pieces of metals? Two planks of Woods?

England's transportation system is a mess because unlike America which is a new country, England is built on centuries old towns that just expanded and cris-crossed roads/buildings in nonsensical ways over time. Like eating nothing but colored marshmellows then throwing up on a map. While the US is built sensibly on a grid.

While grids are a big improvement over previous road layouts, the historical US style grid layout often results in complete traffic chaos. Not as much as in the UK but still too much traffic.

Strange post. EA, Epic, and Valve have all given away free games.

They squat to defecate.

Is this going based on percentage or individual cases? Cuz Italy has a population that's almost one sixth the size of the U.S., so...

Why would you look at percentage? The diseases doesn't just spread randomly throughout the population, it spreads from person to person.

Neat.

I don't see how FF12 would be considered great, if it was it's own IP.

How many series actually use "Oh my gods"? From what I recall most series actually name a god.

No, you shouldn't. I have a highly placed source in the UN, telling me that from next week, there is almost certainly going to be a global ban on faucets.

The first three are usually regarded as the best. The third one is a very Marmite like situation where the people who like it, really, really love it, while the other hate it. The fourth isn't as bad as the following ones, and seems to have some fans. I don't think I've really seen fans for the last four films. Not sure how I'd really rate the popularity of the last four, other than worse than the first four.

No clue, but I reccommend trying:

Yes they should he arrested.

Dragon Quest 11, the original Valkyria Chronicles, and Disgaea are the JRPGs I'd recommend the most, for Switch.

But I don't want pepperoni in my ice cream

WTF!?!?! Get your tastebuds checked out pepperoni on ice cream is the bees knees!!

In all seriousness I agree that puzzles in a non-puzzle games tends to be more annoying than entertaining.

In regards to talking to NPCs I'd say it depends on the game. Lot of them make it boring by either just having the NPCs hint at side quests, or just comment on recent events, which usually gets tiring quickly. The Trails games however have awesome NPC dialogue.

Seems a little strange, given that it takes place in June.

It seems pretty weird that only the first day of a 2 week illness results in no pay, the other 13 still do get pay. Although most, if not all people will obviously not work all 14 days of a 2 week period.

What is AO?

I'm guessing I really need to play this one too. Does it come before or after Zero?

So is a sequel to Zero. I haven't played either, but from me understanding Zero is fairly standalone. So builds on it but is overall a separate story.

Nope, it got destroyed and later on put back together.

The police are clearly wrong, having to go to Burger King is an emergency of catastrophic proportions.

I mean the war was horrific but even Luxembourg survived it

Germany, it got split in two.

It should be, so it probably isn't.

It's part of the Distant Worlds III album.

If weapons never broke, there would probably only be a couple dozen places in the whole game where you can find a weapon (assuming there aren't duplicates because why would there be if each one never breaks?) and everybody would only ever use one weapon once they find a good one. Every weapon you have would become pointless the second you find a stronger one. You probably wouldn't be able to throw weapons either, and you probably wouldn't be able to take enemy weapons either. It would completely change the style of the game. Maybe in the sequel this would be appropriate. But in BOTW would be a completely different game and I think it might be worse.

That's the idea. The problem is that the game gives you so many good weapons that there's no need to not just keeping using the best weapons. At least after the first 2 hours so. So for the first 2 or so hours breakable weapons are great, for the other 47+ they are just a nuisance as you have to keep changing weapons.

Filling in gaps isn't changing the story, it's completing the story.

"Filling in the gaps in the story" isn't staying true to the source material, which is TC's main complaint.

No, I wouldn't. I'd probably support it less, if that's even possible.

According to some random post I saw on Reddit, that's how most gyms get their money, people sign up to a free trial to the gym, and don't cancel, and the gym makes it hard enough to cancel the service, and/or cheap enough, that people just don't cancel it despite not using the service.

that reminds me; visual novels.

Those aren't a genre, they are a medium.

No, puzzle games are the worse.

That's not deviation so much as it is filling in the gaps.

Filling gaps in the source material, is hardly staying staying true to the source material.

Skye Reynolds posted...

And maybe that's not the ideal approach to Mario. Maybe a better personality type is lurking around the corner, but it is out there. It's not fair to throw one's arms up and say, "His personality is that he has no personality. It's cheating to give him one." If that's the case, go ahead and cheat. If the movie is good, audiences will embrace the adaptation.

TC's complaint is that the movies don't stay true to the source material. Changing major elements of a character is hardly staying true to the source material.

Was Double Dragon that popular tho? Hitman? Rampage?

Yes, yes, and yes.

DevsBro posted...

Which sounds like a decent excuse until it raises the question of why on Earth they decided to make that particular game into a movie instead of choosing one that would actually be a good fit for the silver screen.

That's a question with an obvious answer. They think the game is popular, and a movie based on it will make a lot of money.

Most video games either have:
No real plot to adapt.
Way too much plot to adapt in a remotely reasonable length movie.
Or a plot that heavily relies on the game interactivity of the medium, which isn't easy to convert to non-interactive medium.

Depends on the game in general:

Right Thumb over right stick or d-pad.
Left thumb over 4 buttons or left stick.
Left index finger between L1/L2.
Right index finger between R1/R2.
Middle/ring/pinky fingers usually on the back.
If I have to use the L1 and L2 (or R1 and R2) button at the same time I move the index finger over L1(or R1) and middle finger over L2 (or L2).
If I need to use more than one of the 4 buttons I use my index and thumb, or try to position my thumb so it presses both.
