Man, I really wanted to work on my posts during Labor Weekend. But my sister decided to come visit us unannounced so there was that. Oh well, I could try again later. And I hope the Witcher series does well. I really loved the games and books.

@Master Bruce. You're killin me bats! But, I suppose I could do it during the weekend because I am planning to stay up all night to work on my posts and do online stuff for college. But, don't expect me to name my posts since I suck at coming up with creative titles! They will just be "#1, #2, etc."

Video Games: The General Discussion & Community Thread

@Inkarnate. I just realized something while looking at the photos. Was the current game photo played on a PS4 Pro? Because it could be that it was played on a regular PS4?

Also, Insomniac's Community Director James Stevenson says that there wasn't a downgrade. But, we will have to wait until a comparison video comes out to see if there was a downgrade or not. Still going to play it regardless.

I found this edit of the Spider-Man suit from the classic film and I am crying right now:

CLOSED - Ultimate One Universe: Season One

@Inkarnate. To be honest, I am one of those people that isn't bothered if the graphics aren't perfect and there was a downgrade. Watch_Dogs and the Witcher 3 had a graphic downgrade and I still enjoyed them. As long as the gameplay and story are good, then I am going to have fun with it. Based on the videos that I watched about the game, it looks like I will have a good time.

Anyway, you guys are lucky to have the ability to join a crossover. I am stuck in space until the season ends. ;-; (But, it's kinda of a good thing since I am back in college).

When you are excited for the PS4 EXCLUSIVE Spider-Man but then you realized that you have to deal with college and have only five weeks to finish your character's story before the season ends.

Video Games: The General Discussion & Community Thread

What games defined your childhood and why? What aspects of them interested you and how have they shaped your taste? And how do they hold up for you?

Rollercoaster Tycoon and Sim City 4. Those were the first video games that I ever played at a young age. It really got me interested on strategy games for a young age. I still play the original and (mainly) modded version of both games. Especially OpenRCT 2. Good mod that combines Rollercoaster Tycoon Deluxe and Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 together. Better than Rollercoaster Tycoon World. It is sad how EA and Atari treated those games. SimCity failed terribly and caused Maxis to shut down. While RCT: World also failed and killing the franchise for good; however, they did release Rollercoaster Tycoon Classic for the phone. I wished that both of my childhood games had a happy ending. But, I liked how they died so early before microtransactions became a thing. Otherwise, we might of ended up a Battlefront 20-style microtransaction in Rollercoaster Tycoon.

Other games that (sort of) defined my childhood were: Tycoon City: New York, Zoo Tycoon, Mass Effect, Mall of America Tycoon, and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

What is a game you know is bad or is widely considered to be bad but you enjoy/love anyway?

Homefront: The Revolution. I know that the game was broken (and kinda of still is) at launch, it's a generic first person shooter with the main character having no voice (until the DLCs), and other stuff that people hate about this game. But, honestly I loved the story. And shit gets serious towards the middle of the game. I loved the whole story of the game with a few minor issues that I had. There's also Homefront, the first game, but I like and hate it for the same reasons as Revolution.

Then, there's the Walking Dead: A New Frontier. The third season of Telltale's The Walking Dead. And I liked the season even know it was too fast, some of the characters weren't good, and we barely saw/played Clementine. I liked Javi and Kate. Also, David but he was like Kenny from Season 2. They became insane because of the apocalypse. I also liked the relationship between Kate and Javi even if she forced it out at Episode Five. I have to say that the season was a fresh point of view. And I hope that either we see Kate and Javi or they get mentioned again in the final season.

And there is Mafia 3. Nothing like Mafia 2. It was broken as hell on release. But, again, I really liked the story. Especially the documentary style cutscenes. It was something that I haven't seen before in a video game and I wish more games did something like that. Lincoln Clay was a good character along with some members of the Marcano Crime Family and Vito. I also really liked one of the DLCs where afterwards you get to rebuild and redesign your "father's" bar. The whole game just falls into the open world symptom, where it feels barren with collectables to collect here and there. I think there are other games that I could mention if I look into it but I am busy with school work at the moment.

EDIT:

Mass Effect Andromeda.

If you look past the rather overblown animation issues, it was definitely a very solid game. The gameplay was actually the best in the series in my opinion. The story was pretty okay, I guess, but I felt like there were a lot of holes that would have been closed if it wasn't for EA pulling the plug on it so soon.

@Bee

I really wanted to like Mass Effect Andromeda. I did. Even pre-ordered the game and stayed outside of Gamestop for a hour to be the first person to get the game. But, after playing it over and over, EA honestly killed Mass Effect for me. The good thing about it was the gameplay but the story was a lackluster. If EA wants to keep Bioware alive, they should be focused on releasing a remastered Mass Effect trilogy to win back fans of the classic. But, they will most likely leave it to die while focusing on Anthem and the next Dragon Age game (if Anthem does well).

CLOSED - Ultimate One Universe: Season One

Even know I don't read the comics, I really miss the classic Guardians of the Galaxy look. I understand the reason behind changing the outfit (they weren't popular before the movie came out) but I sometime wonder how they would look if their appearances didn't change on the big screen (besides looking at concept art). But I have to say one thing. I love some of these concept artworks.

Or should I say... never lose your cool.

It was suppose to be longer, but I realized that I really needed to post. But the good news is that I am half way done with the second part. I am hopeful to finish it over the weekend but I have to solve around 220 problems for my math online class by tomorrow night. Also, I got a 100% on my first writing exercise in my online creative writing.
