Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

This is a failure because I'm at work right now and this blocks any access to most other sites.
Here is where a youtube of the chitty chitty bang bang song would go.
Someone feel free to give me a link that I can add to this OP.

Sign a pre-nup, James.
So it's lazy for them to implement gunplay but not do it perfectly, but it's not lazy for them to just leave them out entirely?
Because Keenan is a good person?
:lol::lol::lol:
'Cause marriage has tax benefits, but Florida just banned gay marriages, gay civil unions, gay friendships and everything else. So she's stuck.
If you design a game that includes one poorly implemented dynamic, its retarded to claim that was your intention. "Man the shooting in gta sucks." "It's a driving game!"
How good of a person would it take for you to give that up? Exactly. And I don't think JamesKeenan is Jesus squared.
Isn't their a law saying basically if you're married in another state, your state has to recognize it. Didn't the wording of prop 2 go against that law?
There is a law saying that your state doesn't have to recognize gay marriage in another state.
Look than, what makes you think any girl that Keenan would stick his love sausage into could get any kind of hot lesbian sex?
Well, I dunno it's crazy but maybe the intent is more "we didn't make it a priority."
I mean, the parkour in Fallout 3 is balls terrible but I think the excuse that it was not something they spent a ton of time on makes sense.

No, because they speak to entirely different motives.
For them to have consciously left the guns out of the game, it would be about creating a game with that in mind. Yeah.
But including the guns, consciously, but half-assing it, speaks differently of their motives and actions. They provide the choice, but gimp it.
It's not that guns are ineffective. It's not that they're gimped. It's that they opinion is that they play badly. There's a major difference.
I hardly recognize other states as it is.
Geography was never my strong suit.
My strong suit was my metal tuxedo!
They haven't banned threesomes involving gerbils and strategically placed celery sticks, so there is that.
This is gold.
Except this isn't "They couldn't make the shooting better because it wasn't their main focus." It's "They deliberately limited the shooting to give the gameplay a certain style."
See, I know you're kidding, but I'm going to make a point out of it.
Complaining about bad parkour in Fallout 3 is silly. There is no parkour. It wasn't a background initiative. It's not in at all.
If they did implement it, and advertised it, and then it sucked? It was buggy as hell. You constantly clipped through the walls. Buggy ledges, falling through worlds, overall bad implementation.
You would be retarded to say, "But parkour is not the focus!"
That hurts my head.
Man I need to start using that excuse.
Sorry boss I deliberately limited my job performance because it wasn't my focus today.
oh boy
you get to lick a vagina
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamplight o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted — nevermore!
scissoring is always an option.
The gunplay in Fallout 3 is bad
The movement is bad.
The gunplay is bad partially because VATS is designed to be used often, not simply as a last resort. And frankly, it's not a shooter, it's an open-ended RPG. The enemies are stupid, and you're not going to run into a lot of situations where a crack shot is necessary.
The movement is bad because well, fuck it, you're just supposed to be able to walk. I'd like to be able to hop up ledges. I'd like to be able to climb or run faster than 2 miles a day, but hey it was not anywhere near the central focus of the gameplay.
So. I am just saying that when a person spends shorter amounts of time on the less important aspects of a project I do not take offense.

I like you, JK, but I think you'd have to be so fucking stupid to think you were going to get good gunplay out of Mirror's Edge. I mean I didn't even know guns were in the game at all until I played the demo. And then 80% of the demo is basically constructed around telling you "hey, you should run" and "sticking around to shoot people is fucking dumb you fucking dumb dumbfuck."
So really, I think any complaints about Mirror's Edge's gameplay are completely baseless. If you were required to duke it out with 120 guards at the end of the game with guns or something, that's one thing. But I'm assuming that's not the case here. So, being a mere "option" without forcing you to putz around with the gunplay, there is no valid complaint.
Lick it? Pfft.
You outright bury your face in it. Rawrblgblrblgblrbgblrlgblrblrbglbrglrblrbglrlbrg
I'm not taking offense exactly. I'm arguing a silly point of logic.
Also fuck game trilogies, jesus tell one story good and then we'll talk about a sequel you assholes.
what... does this mean?
He said you worship the cock?
This isn't an excuse for it to be bad though. Guns are weak? They slow you down too much? Maybe there's even no reloading because you can't pick-up clips? Those are fine design choices. Bad design, however, is not nothing.
I remember Assassin's Creed. Complaining that the combat was poorly implemented was a valid complaint, even though the game was very much billed as a game of stealth and exploration. And I loved Assassin's Creed.
I get the impression the idea is that if the game fails, you've hedged your bet, and if it succeeds you'll get triple the cash. Only, in neither of those cases do I get any benefit.

Yeah that's the way I see it, if its a bad game or doesn't sell well, I never get a full story. If it's a decent game I get one story spread across 3 60 dollar chunks.
"There is not a man of us who does not at times need a helping hand to be stretched out to him, and then shame upon him who will not stretch out the helping hand to his brother."
And it forced you into a large battle at the end. That was bad. Not that you could do it. But that you had to. If the game had you storming a castle, where the combat was an option, but sneaking was as well, it would have been infinitely fucking better. I even might have done it both ways. But the lack of choice? Especially when it was a lack of choice that forced you into a gameplay element that felt lacking, and was the exact opposite of what was initially billed?
Tsk tsk.
