I feel I finally have ammo against all the Origin Apologists. Yes it's not so bad, but I don't need multiple services for all my games. I have Steam since it's established, and no service(DRM Free). Adding more doesn't help.
This made me realize that Far Cry is the only first person open world game/series I can think of. Also the way the minimap moves in relation to your viewpoint is soo good.
If you bought Sportsfriends through Kickstarter of slacker backed it, It's available through Humble Bundle as an activation key for Steam. Unnanounced publically far as I can tell. I found out by accident.
Sometimes I'm not cool with stuff that's not direct to games. But this is real news about bad stuff going on. I'm happy that we have this here because this kind of news does need to be reported.
I really liked trying out the Cardboard VR stuff. Therefore, I'm interested in a cheap VR solution. But really, really I just want a consumer product out soonish.
I own about 5 Vinyl records, with the intention of getting a few more. I don't own a Vinyl player, but they remind me that I love the bands, the artwork and that I can enjoy sitting down and just listening to music without reading a book or driving a car sometimes.
I feel like often the situations don't acknowledge the moral byproducts they cause. Shut down a staduim? It's an emergency. Kill a few people? Byproduct of open world games and irrelevant to the story since there's no associated cutscene. And not just this one. MOST games. The hero is the relatable, good willed hero. Rarely an anti-hero He/She always does the "right" thing, and is just fun enough to be enjoyable. We celebrated The Last of Us for bucking many of these trends. So I find it weird how much we're kicking Watch Dogs when it's just following the pack. After all that seems like what it's good at.
I tried not bringing crooked man in, because well...his power is trickery after all. He's the successful crime boss version of Jack. But you just get killed. And killed. And not skipping the cutscene, killed again. So you just have to convince people. But I threw him down the well all the same. Not gonna make it savage society nor trust the person he had the most influence over to imprison him. Probably make a Just in case backdoor. I kinda feel bad for bigby in how things turned out with Snow, but it seems "realistic" with the miniature government that runs this shaky place. On the whole Narissa/Faith thing, I felt the entire scene was a little bit of an epilogue and the silent consideration over the crooked man was a better ending. There's often no happiness in true justice, just closure. Anyway, they really pushed the point last minute of similarities in a Keyser Soze(?) kinda way. It puts all the trust onto Georgie's dying words which aren't wholly trustable but good enough for me. Especially seeing how The Crooked Man twists the scenarios of every other event relative to his reply with Georgie. So I don't know if Faith was even alive when we first saw her; Narissa's whole story also becomes suspect with the only honest point being that she wanted the crooked man gone.
So I take the Curious Bad cop route. Ok with questionable justice, but needing to see the whole story through.
I like his points about monotony and formula even though they've been said before. I don't think that they considered all the criticisms he brought up while making Ocarina because that game is huge.
On Arin/Egoraptor himself, I think he can go over the line but is hilarious in the right times and places. Then again a lot of this humor is taken from the push all the jokes 110% spirit of Newgrounds.
