Re: Videogame Criticism

Annihilation spoilers: I honestly don't know how anyone who has played TLoU would not recognise its influence in the scene where they come across a decomposed body in a pool, where the remains have grown outward into plants and vegetation. There are a number of those types of decomposed, mutated re...

Re: Videogame Criticism

That story has been told a thousand times before in zombie/zombie-related media, does The Girl With All the Gifts (I haven't actually seen this movie) actually owe anything to TLoU or just the general scope of zombie media since Dawn of the Dead? Well on the other hand, I can totally see the parall...

Uh... I ride a donkey, thank you very much! :D Just had a sound system installed (i.e. tied to with rope). The bass upsets his tummy somewhat. :( Found just the thing: http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTIV2DGAbaPOLK2EatPoNutznxHltJYN2AHEvDWOZeNWtW8m5sr Seriously, it's all about fossil fuels ...

Hihihi, and the best part is that there are an additional 25+ Gb of (individually selectable) data to download for those entitled weirdos who want to have the full experience and bought the GOTY version! :lol: DOOM is also really cute in that regard.

Re: Videogame Criticism

It was interesting to hear Leon speak about movie adaptations of videogames and how uniformly poor they are. I guess now's a good a time as any to nail my colours to the mast and claim that I consider both Ace Attorney as well as the first Silent Hill to be perfectly decent video game adaptations. ...

Re: Videogame Criticism

I guess I'm just gonna have to play that game again. I'm tempted to download it right now. Ha! Well, far be it from me to discourage anyone from playing MGS3, but before you buy anything please do keep in mind that the game uses a very idiosyncratic and overloaded control scheme that is probably ve...

Re: Sound of Play: The shoot-em-up special

Very interesting episode with some obviously heartfelt commentary. The chronological progression of the games (and tracks) being covered was very cool.

I just bought Radiant Silvergun for good measure! :P

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Goodness me, no one on this forum or on Twitter is helping me resist repurchasing Skyrim for the fourth time. Hm... I suggest listening to the one and only person who will always have your best interests in mind: I still have a LOT of all timers to experience. Happily each year I'm addressing that ...

Re: Videogame Criticism

I think the problem is that it's the Same Old with pretensions to something more meaningful. And the problem is how the usual Far Cry message becomes a tad more dangerous when the writers attempt to circle around pressing modern issues like gun violence, religious extremism and alt-right sensibilit...

Re: Videogame Criticism

Good article, thanks for sharing. The MGS games, 2 especially, have always had some near-prophetic potent political commentary interspersed throughout their plots. I'm actually quite surprised people find it surprising! Everything old is new again, I suppose... Hell, Metal Gear Rising has a MAGA-spo...

Third man you dont know how happy I am that you took the time to do this deep dive into the Kojima stuff and that you gained some appreciation even if you didnt became a convert or anything, even though Im a big fan of the man and he is one of my favorite storytellers in the medium he is certainly ...

Re: Videogame Criticism

I fully agree with your point about the B&B Corps. They're one of the best examples of Kojima dropping the ball like I mentioned earlier. I think the concept is sound, but the execution is very poor. It all amounts to a huge problem with tone the games struggle with straddling the line between w...

Re: Videogame Criticism

EVA from MGS3 is constantly cited as an example of Kojima writing and objectifying women because you can stare at her boobs in cutscenes, but if you look past that I think you'll find a very strong character in fact one of the strongest in the entire series, yet people look at her and dismiss her a...

Re: Videogame Criticism

I'm satisfied that Kojima intentionally objectifies his female characters I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you on this, but I'd also like to draw attention to the difference between Style and Substance. A female character being drawn in a needlessly sexualized way is often in bad taste and visu...

Re: Videogame Criticism

I dont know the context for their criticism of KCD but the scene you're refering to of Ground Zeroes is supposed to be disturbing and make you feel uncomfortable, and alot of websites took Kojima to task at the time, for the wrong reasons in my opinion, what is portrayed in that scene is something ...

Re: Videogame Criticism

They've given it 4/10. I'm tempted to say that's harsh I know it doesn't really mean much in the context of the wacky inflated score system that most sites are using, but a 4/10 is actually just below average, logically speaking. Far from a death sentence, as far as I'm concerned. :) I must say I f...

Re: Whatcha Been Watching?

the one thing I do prefer here alot more is the protagonist I think K is a way better main character the Decker ever was, his story is really compeling and it ends in a nice place(though the ending itself I have a few problems with, for very especific reasons) and if there's something I really disl...
