I have academic reasoning and objectivity behind my criticisms, with the theory of Gramsci, Marcuse, Mills, Horkheimer, Adorno, Althusser, Ritzer, Žižek and many others. Taste in regarding only individual games is pure subjectivity.

To call me out on this would be like to call out Arch on something like archaeology or original sin.

do you know what "hypocritical" means?

I do. I am just asserting that it is a pointless label.

My issue with older games can be very easily seen with Deus Ex. The RPGish game mechanics remain unmatched, but in all honesty, the game is dated. It shows. Developers should combine the achievements of the past with the new advances in technology and game design.

Well, there are mods that can improve things.

Yes, but that can only go so far. Look at Morrowind, as an example.

I'm not sure hypocrisy is inherently wrong.

Well, for example, in Morrowind, there is a mod that removes the combat system and replaces it with something more akin to Oblivion's system.

I would prefer a system between those two. Oblivion-style with Morrowind's RPG mechanics. A hybrid system somewhat similar to Deus Ex's in which it's action based but investing in skills makes a significant difference, and with the RPGisms Mount & Blade made possible for medievalistic warfare.

That sounds like what they are trying to do with Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

The new Strider game is great.

I'm pleased this see this school of thought does exist among game developers.

So awhile back I mentioned how Woodcutter Simulator 2013: gold Edition was the worst game I'd ever played. I found an in browser Atari emulator and tried playing ET. It's not fair to call it a terrible game. That's not fair to terrible games. It's the Star Wars holiday special of video games.

You seriously played that game? Are you a masochist?

I wanted to see if it was as bad as they say.....I didn't think it would be worse but it was.

If I hadn't played it with a friend, I probably would have stopped playing video games for a week or two.

The last game discussed in this thread has been ET. I find this funny. At any rate it's been a good run. Wisconsin9 will be making number 3 once he comes online.

Still waiting for the lock on this one... on the other hand, fuck it. The third Thread for Gamers is going up in the next few minutes.

And here it is.

A clan for us denizens of the Thread for Gamers.

I shall name it: NSTC or NationStates Titan Corps.

Hopefully Respawn will allow clans...

Sounds good, but I haven't got Titanfall. I like the mobility of the pilots, reminds me of the mobility in TF2, which I'm a comp player in. I'll be in if I get it (I probably will). If you want, you can use my TF2 team's Mumble once it gets going.

Looks like Titanfall may very well have creatures for you to blast away at in-game.

Awesome.
