see, that film was shit too really
house of flying daggers and hero were way better than crouching tiger

This is true.
But it's the most obvious reference and the one she was most paedo in.

Yeah but GTA5 is a bit shit really

( H.B.Mupps, Sun 2 Feb 2014, 17:22, archived)

I've not tried it.
I've been playing GTA2 recently, it's a bit shit. I prefer the 1960s London one for the original playstation, or the Chinatown Wars on NDS.

I liked GTA 2
it was darker and edgier than the first one, and I liked the fact you could choose which gang to work for, which affected your standing with the other ones.
Of course, we can't have such free gaming nowadays because we'll miss out on the 40+ hours of cutscenes that Rockstar have lovingly animated for us. Rather than...you know... making the game fun.
Sandbox my arse.

But also - quite!
They want to make a film, not a game.

Or maybe a film with some gamey bit in between their oozingly sticky railroad action scenes.

I liked it when the main character didn't talk. Once they put words in your mouth, it's not about playing the game you want, but the story they want.

YMMV, natch.

Agreed
So many game developers (especially the AAA ones) seem to be going that way with game design - forcing a story down your throat and holding your hand right the way through lest you have an idea they didn't have and break their pretty little model.
Mechanics seem to be a secondary thing, which is baffling considering it's meant to be a game, I don't play board games or Netrunner for the rich story and character development, I play it for the tight mechanics and game play, and I expect video games to do the same. One thing I've learned is good mechanics make a good game, pretty shaders and detailed models do not.

These days, I do pen'n'paper RPGs over computer games.
Real live people do better story telling games than the limited options a computer programme can give you.

My brain can do better special effects than the XBOne.

I've been wanting to play RPGs for months now, been looking into Pathfinder and Dark Heresy
but apart from one other friend, nobody I know's interested

Elite: Dangerous is going to be fucking excellent.

( brb Monkhouse Stampede, Sun 2 Feb 2014, 18:12, archived)

just did a Google
that sounds like an ace game. Elite was a little before my time, but I've heard many an older gamer sing it's praises.
( H.B.Mupps, Sun 2 Feb 2014, 18:17, archived)

Elite was boss,
as was Frontier, it was like all of the things you always wished you could do in Elite, and now you could.
( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Sun 2 Feb 2014, 18:19, archived)

E:D is going to be like Frontier, but where the actions of every single player affects the galactic economy and political systems.
It's going to be fucking mental. Like a good version of Elite 3.

Go check out the "find gamers" thread on UK Role players
Be careful though - I always vetted forum gamers and the like with a few club-based games or pub-based games before I let them know where I live.

Before I came up with that ruse, we got stuck for two years with a guy who gave nerds a worse name than usual. Called my cat a slanty-eyed git (he was Siamese), and other borderline racist shit, as well as insulting my food (which he never contributed to), and - worst - dragging the game down.

I'll give that a look
in the meantime, any b3tans in the Manchester area fancy organizing a game?
