A mark of a great game is its replayability. I know for some that's difficult because of the knowledge you have afterwards, but it can still be fun to relive things. On the flip side, a not so great game is the one where you never want to go through the struggle and grind again because it frankly wasn't fun.
I strongly agree with this. There are so many games out there that if you asked someone if they were excited to replay it, they just be confused. Like, what’s the point of playing a game that’s mostly going from cutscene to cutscene?
Some games are challenges that many people feel as completed when they finish it. For me, that would be Portal. The storytelling through the setting was great, but the main focus was the puzzles which aren’t as fun the second time through. Portal 2 has a great story that makes it fun to replay, but that doesn’t mean Portal was a bad game because it didn’t have a story line worth replaying. Plus Portal 2 had the additional custom puzzles that made it worth playing outside of the story itself.
Being an unfun challenge is definitely the sign of a bad game., or at least a bad match for the player. I’m sure there are plenty of people who think Dark Souls/Elden Rings are bad games because of the frustration factor, some only play it once to get the satisfaction of beating it, and there are people who play through it over and over again.
Hey, thanks for deciding to do this series. Not all the scenes you’ve posted have been as striking as this one, but I’m enjoying the visual tour of game worlds in my feed.
Yesterday’s was probably the worst screenshot I’ve posted imo. It looked way different on my Display because of the options I have set and I was wiped from being out of the house all day. So I didn’t really stop and think “hey. This image kinda sucks” when putting moving it over to my phone
I just imagine the most emaciated wastelander actively bleeding out and barely limping along but stopping to just, like, take in the awe of the moment, man.
I ran out of Stimpaks and doctor’s bags and have been using Sunset Sasparilla from vending machines to heal until I stop being lazy and go buy some more
That’s a 700 ml bottle of 89.9% alcohol. Alcohol is 9 cal/gram (similar energy density to fat) and around 0.78 g/ml making the right close to triple the fried food and beer in calories (~4400)
At first I thought “yeah but you’re not polishing that off in a weekend” but that’s basically the equivalent of 2 fifths of booze which isn’t really a ton for a alcoholic or a hard partying college kid
2 fifths of liquor is absolutely ludicrous except for the absolute hardest of alcoholics.
Not to mention that while the alcohol might be equivalent, the more concentrated alcohol gets the harder it works on your body. You’ll have a much worse night/morning if you drank 6 shots of whiskey instead of 6 beers.
I know I associate with a few degenerates, but some of my heavy drinking friends could absolutely pound 2 fifths in a weekend. They’d be goddammed miserable on Monday but honestly that’s par for the course. One of my buddies in college used to put away a case of beer over a weekend which is 30 beers, not much less than 2 fifths which is about 35 drinks
I suppose it depends on how one defines the weekend. If you start the weekend on Friday night then it’s way more reasonable, say 8-10 on Friday, 12 on Sat/Sun is an intense weekend in Vegas. But if you drink 1.5 drinks per hour for 12 hours on Saturday/Sunday that’s 36 drinks. Which I don’t think is crazy for either a hard partying college kid or an alcholic
Correct. 60% of the alcohol consumed in America is drunk by 10% of the population. Honestly most people fall into 1 of 2 categories: non/light drinkers, and heavy drinkers. For heavy drinkers this is not crazy and I don’t think a light drinker is purchasing 90% abv absinthe
A fifth of what? It isn’t bad enough you people measure distance in football fields now you measure volumes in undefined fractions? What is a fifth LOL
A fifth used to be a fifth of a gallon. Stupidly as the world became more globalized bottle sizes followed and so the bottles we still call a fifth are actually 750ml. What’s worse is that the next unit up is a handle which is 1.75 liters! So it doesn’t even follow mathematically
