i remember playing fable and knowing that you could kill townsfolk and there were these obnoxious little AI children running about that were disproportionately small and really fast for some reason i tried to take out my hammer which was bigger than they were and slam it down on them into a splattery mess but it turns out the children in fable have no weapon collision and can't be harmed so they just walked right through it very disappointing they are worse than the skyrim children

did i upset kirara by talking about slamming AIs in fable that game is so unpassionately made man i can't get over it the most casual experience in existence it's like you're not even actually playing a game i dont think it even technically counts as a game in the strictest sense of the word

>>594173 prob not haha this page was cloud flaring for both of us
fable 1 was quite boring gameplay wise and the story wasn't that interesting either didn't ever play the sequels
月
>>594176 the sequels were progressively worse maxis' idea was to just have the hero do more cool stuff with less demand of the player i mean, you already literally cannot die and can do whatever you want pretty much without regard and it got to the point where it was just pressing one button to fight and watching things happen and then the story finale "boss fight" is just press a or press b for two different choices the only thing that was fun in the games was the minigame tasks like blacksmithing or woodcutting or gambling

i played fable 2 somewhat mindlessly because i worked physical labor night shift at the time i'd get back at like 5am and would never be able to sleep until after breakfast so i'd just wean down from the physical exhaustion with that or peggle until the store was open to buy a breakfast croissant and an energy drink the caffeine would put me to sleep

And neither is actually bad or "evil" or anything they just have damn good ideas and visions, but when those visions are made into games... they just always are let downs You see the potential, you see what they wanted to do but just didn't pull through it, either due to technological or budget restraints or just shooting too high to begin with, trying to achieve heights that couldn't be reached and then when truth hit them in the face, they settled for average

Do you not keep some mild painkillers around for stuff like that?

ive been having this weird pain in my side for months now i know appendicitis is way too acute for that to be relevant but if it was just inflamed or something maybe or a gallbladder thing maybe i dunno but it's worrisome the pain isn't really the issue just the worry of what it is

I'll probably check it out tomorrow during a break from clients at work. I've been playing RDR2 with Fish so I'm falling behind on my shows.
Anno
Understandable. Ain't like the shows are going anywhere in the end. I'd probably have gotten really into RDR2 if it had come out for PC too, though I guess I might've still had a free screen to put up shows on.
The game honestly has a lot of problems. They've created something amazing, but it feels like a lot of things are so bad that they're just juxtaposed to the rest of the world.
Anno
I checked out maybe three hours of gameplay and it didn't seem so bad. Might get worse once it really opens up and you hit the open-world though. I did see a moment where a player jumped on his horse and instantly clocked some civilian and triggered the law enforcement. Which ended up with him in jail over night.
It's not bad by any stretch. But there's no real freedom in the game, which is ironic considering it's about outlaws. The game presents you with scripted scenarios and you can choose to help someone or not, or choose to raid a homestead at night or in the day, but ultimately, the game gives you a problem to solve, but there's only one way to solve it. Your buddy is in jail, only one way to get them out of it, for example.
The NPCs all sound great, but they only exist in relation to me. They have their little lives, but they're only ever doing things in relation to me being around. If someone gets thrown out of a bar, it's because I'm there to see it. It's just a show put on for me, is how it feels often.
It's fun, and I'm enjoying it, but I feel like I was sold a false bill of goods, a little bit.
The lack of choice is just juxtaposed to this magnificent immersive world where your hat's always falling off, and you get muddy if you fall in the mud, and your hair grows, and characters sometimes get prosthetic limbs if you shoot them in their limbs.
It doesn't feel like a world. Which kind of feels outdated for open world games.
I guess I basically feel like a member of the audience rather than someone who is really making an impact in the game world.
My crew says they found a stagecoach to rob. Arthur says that's a horribly stupid idea, someone says it's fine, Arthur says okay, let's do it.
Almost all the quests seem to end in a big ole shootout.
The game is well written and interesting, but it's very formulaic and feels outdated.
Also they optimized HDR so poorly that the game looks like shit using HDR unless you have an OLED TV and even then it doesn't look as good.
Anno
Those both seem to be common complaints I'm seeing elsewhere. I think people just got their hopes up. Which in fairness to them, Rockstar definitely went snake oil salesman on it. But like, very little concrete information was available about the game before release and a lot of what was informed was still kind of easy to run with. Like they sell you on train robberies and all of a sudden you're thinking of all the ways you can rob a train. But then it ends up being one way and so the first or second time you've robbed a train, you've done it all.
It was similar in the original game, as well as other games that have off-main plot game mechanics. Like, the optional bounties in the original game, I did it the first one or two times, and maybe some other occasions when I wanted money. But never because I found it interesting or exciting. Same with Odyssey; I haven't done a war battle in that game aside from the main plot one and another which you -have- to do to reveal a Cultist. Aside from that I just ignore it.
Yeah. I don't think the game is bad. It's very good. It's just not the game I feel I was lead to believe it was. They spent so much time talking about how immersive the world was - and it is. But they didn't talk about the quests and stuff, which aren't very immersive.
The bounties actually seem interesting this time. There aren't just a billion of them. You find them occasionally. And they're all, like, unique events with unique characters. They're not procedurally generated which is nice.
My crew feels very self-destructive and it's hard for me to believe they survived to the end of the wild west.
It's fun to see John and Abigail fighting all the time, though. And little Jack is in the game, too.
Anno
To be fair most of Dutch's gang is either dead or obscured by the time Red Dead Redemption rolls around. Marston only hunts down Bill, Javier ... maybe one other? And then Dutch, of course. Those included, and then Abigail and Uncle, is like less than half of what I've seen is Dutch's gang in RDR2. So it seems to me most of them don't really do a good job of surviving, hah hah.
That's true. I hope some of them survive the game and just get out of the business.
Especially Lenny. Lenny is my boy. I will protect Lenny. There's also a guy named Charles who is cool.
Arthur is way more likable than John. I mean, they're both horrible people, but at least Arthur has good banter.
Anno
From what I've seen of Charles I'm really fond of him.
Arthur might have better banter but I think he's also much more content in his life of taking advantage of other people. John at least, or at -or how I played him in my RDR game at the least, was earnest in trying to be a good man. I haven't seen an attempt like that from Arthur.
Arthur's mostly just going along with Dutch since Dutch raised him, but he's usually trying to avoid killing innocent people and generally believes they should only be stealing from other outlaws, or stealing to survive. Although we did a quest earlier where he was pretty happy to kill a bunch of white supremacists.
John's kind of the same way, though. He's not really trying to go and take advantage of people usually, although he's cool with robbing random folks.
me too I think I slept 2-3 hours last night and then worked a shift the coffee is helping a little bit
Anno
I'm so tired. At least I'll hopefully sleep like a brick for the few hours I can tonight.
Anno
I should pick up some to ensure I don't crash on the way home tonight too
Anno
My sleep has been a total mess recently. I woke up at a good time this morning but the sleep I got was kind of tatters. And I'll likely not have much tonight either. At least I'll be able to nap in like fifteen hours.
Anno
>>>/@sarperduman/1056897877493104640 I have another 6am start tomorrow and I'm slightly paranoid I won't wake up on time even though it'll probably be fine I was looking to get a prescription for something like melatonin but for now I have some valerian root pills // capscules that I'll at least give a trial
Anno
Melatonin's helped me a bit. I worry I might have some manner of sleep apnea, or at least something like it that pops up if I'm in the wrong way when I'm sleeping. Sometimes even if I take melatonin or I'm dead tired or I've done the other "right" things for sleeping, sometimes it just doesn't end up restful.
I'm CONFLICTED, /moe/ travel 2019. So many paths to choose from
I really want to do another MOUNTAIN but that would blow out my travel budget. or I could keep going longer, traveling cheaply. see more of the world d-d-d-doushio
Anno
In your shoes, having been around so many mountains, I'd take the second option. Get a fresh, different experience. Besides, the mountains ain't moving nowhere any time soon. Do what you want to the most though man. Taking the cost-effective analysis is rarely what ends up maximizing enjoyment in the end after all.
and the one thing I've got going for me now is that I'm time-rich and money-poor so on one hand it really makes sense to take the option that involves traveling cheaply for longer.
but I also don't want to just spend 8 months sitting on buses and trains, stopping to look at the tourist highlights listed in the Lonely Planet and then moving on to the next one. I've traveled like that before. It wears thin fast.
That's why mountains appeal. I like the CHALLENGE. It's a goal. Something definite to do with a clear beginning and an end. And it forces me to push myself like nothing else ever does. It makes me happy.
but then again if I'm trying to travel for 8 months and I blow everything in the very beginning then I have no idea what I'll do until August.. Go back to my parents house and play videogames
>>594381 Well if you expend all your funds on mountaineering you could always engage in cheaper hobbies in the remaining time. Go read some novels. Write a story, or a memoir of your mountain travels. Do some drawing. Get creative man.
TN
>>594392 climb all mountains of scandinavia you are in the region already
>>594393 it's not like I'm worried about being bored. I can always find things to do. It's more like that this is probably the last period of my life when I'll have a lot of time off, and the money to go almost anywhere in the world. And I don't want to blow it.
>>594398 You want to get into law, don't you? Sure you might be kind of swamped for a bit but eventually I figure you'll have the time and money to pursue stuff like this later on.
Besides if worse comes to worse you can just save up a bunch of money and then just quit a job and go sabbatical for a year or two.
True. I mean I'm counting on having time off at some point in the future. But just not months and months and months in a row. It's a very UNIQUE situation I'm in at the moment, in that I don't really have any other ties to go back to. Apart from Uni and I don't think they really care if I keep applying for time off. but no serious relationships, no job. Just me. and my passport. and 20,000 AU dollarydoos
Anno
From the sound of it, months and months of time off isn't really up your alley anyway. You'd rather have some intense shorter experiences, and doing long-term travel in your own words, seems to wear thin. Like I said earlier, you should really just do what will bring you the best experience. Worrying about time that wouldn't really be put to good use is probably a, well, not really a waste of your time. But you get what I'm trying to get across, eh.

streaming a ps3 game to a ps4 from sony's servers is definitely not better than just playing the rerelease in 60fps at 1080p on the console you're already doing the former on

>>594679 im sorry this should say western gray, not red
what i mean is that a myth was appropriated and completely changed into something barely resembling the original which is generally fine but the name should have been changed
stories, myths, legends and so on all get adapted just that skinwalker and the various similiar creatures in native american legends didn't really get into big limelight untill recently wendigos and skinwalkers and then internet just did the "changes as people write about it" process that normally takes decades to centuries in just few years >>594694 Well they were originally called Goat Men when they first popped up someone later tacked the skinwalker name to them instead
Kirara, the Cat
>>594690 if they're not werewolves and vampires, yeah
it's def not good for native myths to he appropriated compared to other groups though
In my opinion, I think it just shows how good mythology the natives have, if people fell in love with that legendary monster that well to make hundreds and thousands of stories out of it be it in the end a quite twisted version of it
I think supernatural actually launched the skinwalker boom with that one skin changer episode where the creep turned into dean at the end
But anyhow if memory serves the first few goat men stories had them be quite akin to the myth and then few iterations later the "changes into people" thing popped up
Kirara, the Cat
skinwalker isn't a legendary monster skinwalkers are vengeful spirits that return as // in animal forms and curse people that come across them
I don't see anything really particularly wrong with what happened to skinwalker though Only thing that differs it from other "adaption degradation" to other myths, legends, stories etc. is just how quick it happened
do you have groundhogs there's a groundhog taking residence in the back yard he has been there for years he's quite nice really
Anno
Yeah my mom despises our residents groundhog. Always eating up the plants in her garden. The most she's ever done about it is sprinkle cayenne powder around the border of the garden and encourage the dog to chase it - which doesn't result in anything. So I guess it doesn't bother her that much.

There was a stand that followed people around, like on their back, and ate anything they threw away, and slowly got bigger. When they got big enough, they'd eat the person they were attached to and then combine into a main body that was really big.
Yoshikage Kira had to fight the big garbage stand while I was trying to escape the fight so I wouldn't get caught in the crossfire because my stand wasn't good for combat.
