No, I can still get behind a good game if the character designs are horrid.

For example, I think everyone is God Eater looks like fucking trash. All the males looks like D-tier J-pop losers and all the females are just one monster swipe away from being completely naked. I hate everything about the designs in this game, but it's still a pretty fun game in the end.

It feels weird these days to play Half Life 2 in its original vanilla format these days.

Whenever I revisit HL2, I usually have some sort of silly mod like SMOD redux turned on. It's just a lot more fun and hilarious when you can instant gib a headcrab by kicking it into a wall.

Playing some God Eater recently, and the entire game is dumb. Humanity is on the brink of extinction, and our only hope lies in the hands of a bunch of shitty jpop teenagers who must fight giant monsters with absurdly big weapons. Also, half the cast are complete idiots, everyone dresses like a clown, and pretty much all of the women are half naked. This game actually sounds like a wacky good time, except they expect you take all of this crap seriously. I know this is pretty typical of JRPGs, but man, it's just kind of depressing. The lack of self-awareness in many Japanese games truly sucks.

On one hand. If you are fighting bigass creatures, you are probably going to need huge weapons to make any real penetration.

On the other hand. The character dont even look remotedly capable of wielding such weapons.

It would be great if jRPG heroes that are wielding oversized weapons would look more like this,

But yeah, I cant really take most jRPGs seriously at all. The dumb plots just don't do it for me.

Nah, they all gotta look like this.

What? She is totally dressed fine for battle. These are basically the official battle fatigues for the military to fight against vicious monsters.

Also, no, she does not need to wear any kind of bra while she does this. Everyone in the game world finds this completely acceptable, so don't be crazy and try to question it. She will also never fucking fix her skirt strap in a million years. Please take all this anime drama very seriously.

You're obsession with wanting to see Telltale fail is very weird TC.

If by open minded, you mean a bunch of crazy conspiracy theorists, then sure. The Kojima bashing makes zero sense. All the evidence and general fuckery points to Konami being the ones who screwed the pooch. We won't get the full story about this situation for a long time, so people are entitled to believe whatever. However, if someone takes all the evidence and rumors that have accumulated up to this point, and they somehow see Konami as the victims, they are completely insane.

The game plays totally fine when you're slicing up enemies. Everything else like level design, puzzles, platforming, pacing and the backtracking are completely abysmal.

I have a decent time playing DMC4 in the bloody palace, but I have zero desire to play through that campaign again.

It seems like a really bad idea to be playing it now, especially with the servers being super unstable.

If you get disconnected for whatever reason during gameplay, you lose your character and all the progress you made on a floor. It's really not worth the frustration to be messing with it at the moment.

Arkham Knight

It just plays so damn well compared to the games in the series. Honestly, it's very hard for me to go back to the older games. They just feel so bare bones in comparison. Yeah, the side content is very repetitive in Arkham Knight, but it easily has the best campaign.

They're already plans to establish colonies on mars by the 2030s. It's apparent we need actual people those planets, but we don't need them to go do research. The process of sending them there and back is far more expensive and wasteful.
