Less pointless and confusing than having everything jumbled together.
LV's still bummed he has chose Xbox One over PS4.
But I have them both!!!
I didn't think you had a PS4. Are you interested in God of War? The single camera shot seems like it could be a game changer in gaming storytelling.
Not really. Like many games, certain things about the aesthetic/concept seem interesting, but the actual gameplay totally turns me off.
That's fair. The gameplay of this is getting rave reviews as well, but I understand your point. I'm not interested in most shooters/fighting games for the same reason.
Big budget games seem to add one feature upon another to appeal to the widest possible audience, leading each element to lack polish. I appreciate good game design just as much as art design/story/atmosphere/etc. There's an art to it.
Uninteresting game mechanics are the reason I haven’t bought a game in forever. It’s all so stale and homogenous. There’s so little innovation. Part of me wishes people who aren’t game developers were making games, but on the other hand that would probably also suck because I hate unpolished games. It really feels like the medium is dying to me. Or at least going through a severe dry spell.
I feel the same way about film. These feelings are not unique to games.

Well, I definitely don’t agree with you there.

I was mostly excited by the concept of RPG decision-making being more and more blended into non-RPG games. Yeah...that didn’t really happen. I have zero interest in most indie games, which seem as stale and bland as can be (I am sooooo not interested in platforming stuff). Horror games should be exciting, but developers just keep repeating the same agonizing mechanics that distance me from the experience (no more fucking puzzle-solving, oh my god). Not into hack-n-slash stuff at all. And the kind of games that get lauded as leaps forward (*COUGH*the last of us*COUGH*) are almost always dull as fuck to me. Even the aesthetics of most games seem homogenous now, which probably has a lot to do with many games being built on the same engine.
VR does look cool, but I don’t really wanna pony up the coin to get into it.
I dunno. I used to get excited about games as an artform. But I just don’t see anything attractive being done with it these days.

Normally I'd say a very high chance given the purported size of the game's world, I just found it odd that there was no season pass or inclusion in the digital deluxe of a future DLC story/expansion pack. The makers have already indicated that the next game will take place in Norse universe again, figured given all the development and marketing put into this game that we'll likely see an expansion announced later this year.

However, I'm not advocating for it this time though (ala the failed Health and Fitness subforum). The Star Wars subforum does well so it's a reeaaal possibility.
Alternatively, we could look at the option of allowing multiple threads (within reason) within A & E. I would suggest having a flair/flag used on each video game related thread at the start though, such as [VG] or [Video Game]. This way the movie-buff game-haters can easily avoid those threads.

Thanks for undermining me, Sarge
