Saints Row 2 allows me to put on nothing but a viking helmet and a crazed smile
and drive around in a septic truck spraying mimes with human shit
so even though in the story you play an unrepentant psychopath
even the missions the game has you doing are either action-movie-bad-ass or cartoon-ridiculous
so whatever, i'll let it slide on a lot of things that otherwise bug me in video games
but games that are like "by the way you have to murder all these innocent people and round up their women so we can gang rape them" and still expects me to want to play it
no thanks sir

Podlyyou unzipped me! it's all coming back! i don't like it!Registered Userregular
i actually don't have a whole lot of interest in playing a bad guy in video games
i mean, i do "dark side" playthroughs of video games where moral choices and shit result in different story and content
renegade playthroughs of Mass Effect, sith playthrough of Kotor II, etc.
but if a game basically asks me to play as an amoral bastard, i don't have a huge amount of interest in it
SR2 is sort of a weird exception because it's cartoonishly goofy
pony i want you to play nier so badly
actually i want everyone to play it, but you especially
i want to see how you two react
i want it to be the baking soda in the papier-mache volcano of your mind

because i can tell you right now that there is no way i'll give up an inch of the holy land
i've got 9 inches* of holy land right here
*may or may not be 9 inches
c'mere
settle my land
...
there are other jokes, here, that are pretty clever and that involve historical precepts regarding the jewish population of palestine before '48... but they're in hebrew
i just wanted you to know that
settle my land isn't my best response; i have more
my having come from circumstances precludes those options

San Andreas was far and away the best GTA. I really liked how the more you used a particular weapon the better you got with it, and just the stats system in general.
Dual wielding uzis or sawed off shotguns never got old, and taking over territory in Los Santos was great.
I hated that I had to do all that over again at the end. Hated it. It was the point at which I stopped playing the game because taking back territory was so fucking tedious and all I really wanted to do was finish the story already.
I could see that.
I took pleasure in every popped head, however. Feels good man.
Playing the villain is a refreshing alternative to playing the hero. Especially after growing up with Zelda, Mario and all that 'save the day' stuff.
i actually find playing the villain to be mostly boring
i have a hard time playing an "evil" character in Fable 2 for example because the evil in that game is so needless.
like you're doing it for the sake of being evil and you can't really find any character motivation for it or whatever
the Mass Effect series does this right, i think.
you can choose between boy scout, no-nonsense soldier, or belligerent asshole
but at the end of the day you're still the hero saving the galaxy
even if you were sort of a shit-heel as you did it
i am okay with that
more games need to have that sort of spectrum, instead of "pet kittens or burn orphanage", a little more difference between playing Superman or Frank Castle would be nice.

There was so much killing in that game, I was bored of it by then. Seriously, I'd already done that shit, let me get on with the game.
my favorite part of RDR was when no-quarter and i popped it in so he could see the beginning of the game. we watch the intro with the train, then you step off the train. i hand the controller to no-quarter and he walks towards the first building.
there is a 1-foot step up onto the wooden back porch of the building. there is a ramp leading up to the porch.
NQ walks around the ramp and tries to step up onto the porch. Instead of stepping up onto the porch, John Marston makes no forward progress and just does his walking animation into an invisible wall.
NQ turns to me, and says, "Oh. I get it. It's a Rockstar game, all right. It's a fucking Rockstar game."

I went a sustainability event the other night in Portland (boyfriend did a short presentation) with lots of people who are into green and sustainable and reusing stuff

Buy a used game in the winter and take money out of the pockets of developers scrounging up change to buy christmas presents for their kids?
Will how could you
the developer went bankrupt several months ago, so it's a victimless crime!
