Everything he says is the truth.
Consider it requested.
So therefore all computer games suck because they hide the internal workings and thus you never learn how to play. That's your entire argument. If you honestly believe that, then I guess there's no...
I choose you, Nalano.
Wait, what am I doing?
The real question is "Does it matter?" and the answer is no, it doesn't. Whether it's genetic, or a learned behaviour, or whatever, it's hardly...
Well explain it then - you're comparing a completely different medium to computer entertainment. The fact that they're both games doesn't suddenly make what you're saying relevant to computer games....
You can't reason with something driven by faith, you can only limit its control. To them, you're the irrational one. They are allowed to disagree with you, they are allowed to hate gay marriage, and...
You can have a complex game and not have a horrible UI that relies entirely on a manual. Complex != more buttons, I don't know why that is a thing these days.
Board games can get away with...
Um, really? Because companies, particularly relating to the conduct of the CEO or managers of such companies, regularly come under demands for boycotts over their activities or attitudes. It's just...
It's not necessary today. We had to have manuals because there was no practical way to put all that information on-screen and still see the playing field. For some games (like DCS Black Shark, but...
To go back on topic, as opposed to another "lol religion" thread, I think it's perfectly fine if you find someone objectionable to not support their project. I don't like Phil Fish, I just can't...
I haven't slept in 20 years since a Lost Soul took my blanket.
Pretty much this. In the modern era of high resolution displays there's no reason to go with an ambiguous pixel UI with arcane symbols and no tooltips. Back when 320x240 was the standard and 640x480...
I usually enjoy a good creepypasta just for the hell of it, but when I read that it sucked all the fun out of it. Seriously guys, if you're going to make up a story, at least get the basics close to...
Yes, I know. It's still not ideal.
I don't know, I'd say the constantly respawning checkpoints and strongholds make the entire thing rather pointless. For all the awesome things it did, it sure doesn't lend itself well to a feeling of...
To be honest I prefer the Start screen now, it's basically a second desktop strewn with app icons that goes away when I don't need it.
Everything else about Metro is bad for desktops though, it's...
You'll get two answers -
1 - It's faster and it's fine but Metro is a pain.
2 - NO I HATE IT BECAUSE BLAH
I've been using it since the RTM, and apart from the Start screen it's just a faster...
Pretty much what the others have suggested is likely to be your best bet - the problem with these sort of "player agency" games is that they're usually not very well focused or structured so they can...
The manual is almost useless compared to the user tutorials and unofficial manual efforts, I wouldn't touch it.
Oh, apologies, I mustn't have been paying attention. Then yes, that's a fair point, having to have install media does not count as DRM in my books.
I think one of the key points for drawing the...
To be fair Steam's sales (along with Valve's rapport with the gaming community) are what keeps people using Steam and made it dominant. When Steam first started it was only cheap because it carried...
There's still a major lack of software support though. There's no Photoshop (and no, The GIMP isn't a suitable replacement in all cases), OpenOffice is still miles behind MS Office, and if you're...
Unofficial Skyrim Patch. Fixes a boatload of misc but annoying bugs in the base game.
Also word of advice if you have a 120hz monitor - force v-sync through drivers, the game expects a maximum FPS...
I'm drop dead gorgeous, and we all know it.
I'm also blind.
Funnily enough, I actually enjoyed (Dr) Derek Smart's Battlecruiser 3000AD (v2.0 or whatever). I used to play it with a friend - we'd sit there staring at the screen of incomprehensible icons,...
