Just my $0.02: while I generally don't care for a majority Linkin Park's albums post-Meteora, they still manage to make a couple fantastic songs on each album that I end up loving, for example: "What I've Done", "Leave Out All the Rest", "Hands Held High", and "The Little Things Give You Away" from Minutes to Midnight, "Burning in the Skies", "Jornada del Muerto", "Wretches and Kings", and "The Catalyst" on A Thousand Suns, and "Lost in the Echo" and "Castle of Glass" on Living Things. Haven't heard much from the newest one. Sadly, just about every other song on those albums, I really just can't find enjoyment in. Linkin Park's pretty hit-or-miss to me now, over all. Just thought I'd share that. And I dunno why anyone wouldn't like Rise Against's current music: they've sounded pretty much the same since The Sufferer and The Witness to me. (Siren-Song of the Counter Culture is still my over all favorite album) EDIT: meant "Jornada del Muerto," not "Robot Boy"
Not sure at all how unpopular it is to say this, but I find country artists to be some of the most untalented/unoriginal musicians around these days; they all sound the same to me, with the southern drawl vocals that only sound different in how high or low their voices are, songs that generally have the same few themes (love, break-up, partying [usually with beer], or patriotic,) and the same typical instrument configuration (electric & acoustic guitars, drums, and some kind of twangy instrument like a banjo or fiddle or something along those lines.) I respect country music for having helped create rock music, but that's as far as my positive feelings for the genre go. (Also, nitpicking, but I think the fact that the genre is even called "country" is dumb. Music native to, say, India or Germany isn't called "country" as far as I know.) Hell yes it is. When I used to do karaoke at the nearby Applebee's (wow that sounds so lame now) I was pretty much the go-to guy in my friend group for songs that involved screaming; nobody else did it well, while for me I pretty much figured it out after lots of practicing (mostly just singing along to , which came to me a lot more slowly than clean singing (which I learned to do in a concert choir class.) The only people who think screaming is easy to do are the ones who can't even differentiate what sounds good or bad when it comes to screaming (probably due to general dislike for that vocal style.)
Someone do me, I'm curious.
WOAH WOAH WOAH HOLD UP I like Budokai Tenkaichi, sure, they're good games, pretty fun and more akin to DBZ in terms of flight and using projectiles to fight. But I'll gladly be the guy who says that Budokai 3 is the best DBZ game ever made. Not only does it work as a DBZ game, but as a fighting game too, so you don't have to exactly be a fan of the series to still enjoy the game. Can't really say the same for Budokai Tenkaichi. The 3D movement is pretty flawed honestly, and the melee combat...yeah, not much to talk about there. I'm not saying Budokai 3 was the most technical fighting game ever (whoever would say that is delusional,) but I at least didn't feel like every character was more or less way too similar. I'll gladly take a smaller roster if it means having more unique fighting styles between the included characters, which I feel that Budokai 3 does competently (not perfectly, but enough.) I can feel the difference playing, say, Kid Buu versus playing Cell in that game, and I like playing as them for different reasons that extend beyond aesthetics. Plus, tournaments with friends in that game...so fun :> Sure, Budokai Tenkaichi may look more like Dragon Ball Z, but I genuinely could enjoy Budokai 3 simply for what gameplay it had. I really was disappointed that we never have gotten a true sequel to the Budokai series since Infinite World, which was just Budokai 3 with shite mini-games and extras that weren't worth the money/effort. Still, I will say that I hope the Budokai Tenkaichi series gets remastered like Budokai 2 and 3 did. They're good games, as I've said, but I simply think that Budokai is, over all, better. Now, if we got a game that successfully combined the best parts of both series...mmmmmmmmmm.
I agree; the most interesting bits of Part 1 came right at the ending, and it wasn't really much of a plot twist what gets revealed. A little sloppy, but eh, still enjoyable. And I kinda think that the Big Daddies are simply so easy because we're far more mobile in Infinite due to having the Skyhook (which I'm a little confused on why it's even in Rapture...I guess it's just a thing borrowed from some Splicers?) and, as you stated, being able to manipulate such a strong moving turret at the Motorized Patriot. On a note, I kinda felt like the most interesting bits of Part 1 were when you weren't fighting Splicers, and I kinda thought the same with Part 2, but not as much. You'll see.
Yeah, part 1 isn't that stellar. Good, but nothing really that interesting to state. However, part 2...it's semi-polarizing, but I really liked it. The ending is a little disappointing to me, but nowhere near as bad as the endings for Bioshock 1. It works well enough for me concerning time-travel/universe jumping.
Dude, yes. I'm so tired of the binary morality system in games, taking us by the hand and saying "This is the bad thing to do, and this is the good thing!" You don't really get much of a choice at all in the end; so many games rely on you simply sticking to the initial good/bad path to get any benefits, with people who actually decide to use a mixture usually getting shafted of anything beneficial (gameplay or story alike.) One thing I kinda like about Telltale's The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us is that they simply give you multiple choices, without ever labeling one with the good or bad label/color, like Mass Effect does. Games really need to try harder if they want morality systems to actually be morality systems rather than "I WANT ENDING A OR B"
Yeah both work for me pretty w- AND WE'RE DONE HERE FOLKS
Ooooooh do me next.
Not directly. The doctor will simply look at you with disappointment and shake his/her head.
I didn't say it's not, did I? I'm genuinely curious; I want to hear what people have to say :\
I didn't mean like literally one having a higher FPS than another, I only meant it as an example of how it looks to me because of smoother animation ._.
-MMORPG's. I've tried Tera, and Eden Eternal, and Ragnarok Online, and a few others that I can't even remember the names of. They're just plain boring to me. I always end up getting tired of the system of having to kill x number of monsters for whatever reason that I never care about. I just don't get how people can enjoy these games when they're essentially doing the same thing over and over with (what has felt to me) little variation. -Most sports games. I've never enjoyed an official NFL or MLB or NBA game. There's so little personality or fun mechanics in them, and it bewilders me how people can keep sinking money into these games every year. Conversely, I actually enjoy games NBA Street and Punch-Out, that take their respective sports and try something more fun with them. -Musuo games, like the Dynasty Warriors series. The gameplay is dull to me, plain and simple. I love character action games that have fun combos with a bunch of unique moves you can string together and unique enemy types, which (to me) Musuo games have the opposite: super shallow movepools and the same swarms of human soldiers over and over.
Yeah, pretty much, but it's not always the case that I prefer that. Some animations with a less-than-impressive art style end up looking better with smoother FPS to me.
Well, I was just talking about animation, which is a broad term that includes art style. My example though would be a little different? Not sure how to explain it better right now.
Good thing I didn't link my thread to an article with data researched by ACTUAL DOCTORS. Yay at least one person got my reference.
So I'm still curious how anyone likes the second half of Sword Art Wish Fulfillment Online more than the pretty ok first half.
Uhhhhhh....I guess beautiful? Much better for the sake of having memorable, screen-shot quality scenes, and in the end, I'd prefer a game with low FPS but better graphics over the opposite, usually.
