What are you playing?

I've never had a game of Magic The Gathering Duel of the Planeswalkers last more than three turns (unless I lose). Within two or three turns, if an opponent is at any sort of disadvantage, they quit. Sucks, I'll never get the achievement for legit winning a game. Just play it out. Do they like it when people quit when they have the advantage? Seriously. Fuck all these people.

COMPLETELY UNRELATED

Fuck early access games on Steam too now. Hey, that game's out! Sweet! Oh, it's an early access title. Fuck. Like half of the featured titles on the front page are early access titles.

No, I won't pay full price to beta test your game.
Amen.

I'm like sweet, State of Decay us out for PC, only 20$ not bad... let me check reviews..

No reviews why?

*notice tiny early access title*

Check forums.

People complaining it only has controller support, no keyboard/mouse.

WHAT THE FUCK
 
I can explain State of Decay: they didn't originally plan to release on PC and are porting the game from 360 to PC. As such, they haven't programmed in mouse and keyboard support yet, but they are working on it. They've been very upfront about all this... but the game is getting a lot of push from Valve right now because it HAS controller support and is thus perfect for Big Picture play. Valve isn't letting people know that it doesn't have keyboard or mouse support, not the devs of the game.
 
I was all excited about that game that's being made by some of the ex bullfrog folks that's basically Dungeon Keeper3 showed up on the Steam homepage. Early access beta. Fuck you, just fuck you with a rusty dildo.
 
Oh shit, downloading

(My kids have to wait till I can get to Target tomorrow afternoon suckas~)

So finally started playing The Last of Us...

20 minutes in Joel's daughter dies...

Suddenly, I start crying.

My eyes start bawling out.

I'm like WTF.

Can't play anymore.

Also, trying to shoot guns on console is so annoying and inefficient it ruins the gameplay for me. This is even worse for Last for Us how the shooting mechanics work.

I'm with you, man. I was joking around that something tragic would happen ... and then when it did, on came the tears. I don't think any moment for the rest of the game had so much impact.

And I'm also with you on shooting--even for a console game, it's really frustrating, and I play other shooters on my PS3. It got to the point where I was taking every opportunity to rush in and curbstomp where doing so wouldn't get me killed.

Life works out sometimes?
 
Neither of you guys must've played Uncharted 3. Last of Us was such a step up from UC3's ungodly awful shooting.
I believe you, but being better than awful doesn't necessarily make it good. There's a gradient there.[DOUBLEPOST=1381600597,1381600515][/DOUBLEPOST]My Pokemon is trying to play games with me and I can't make the faces at the 3DS camera that it wants, so it keeps looking sad and rejected. If I wanted this kind of drama, I'd go hang out with my real pets.
 
This is why I hope the new Steam Controller can be a closer bridge to gamer reality. FPS on consoles is NOT for me.
 
Suddenly, I start crying.
It's the Dad effect. Something you never used to give much thought to suddenly has weight.
Now you identify with the character on a level you didn't previously have access to, much less knew existed.
You can steel yourself for it, but it never really goes away.

I'm broken?
 
FFFFFFFFFFF

Finally finished Tales of Xillia from one character's PoV, starting up as the other now.

BUT I'D RATHER PLAY TOX2 PLEASE RELEASE IT NOW NOT NEXT YEAR FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

 
Something about it just didn't click for me like the rest of the games. I think by that time the 2D battles felt a little boring compared to the free-running of Symphonia, and all in all I didn't much care for the cast. In all honesty, I might give it another try, though. It's been years since I played, and I've changed my opinion on other games I used to dislike.

My main concern at this point is, now that I've experienced Vesperia, Graces F and Xillia, it might be hard to warm up to it. The battle systems in those games are just so good.

Edit: Now I remember what I didn't like. Having to farm the eres crystals for your spellcasters to open new abilities. Having to rely on drop luck as opposed to just grinding/using them enough (like the physical Artes).

Took a brief break from Pokemon to play Kid Icarus Uprising--you know, a game where I can win at the multiplayer. Except the single player and what the fuck am I playing.

For a while it's a really goofy Greek myth-ish story, but then ... aliens! Yeah, hive mind digital aliens. But it gets better.

A sun demi-god helps break through the hordes of aliens, up to the alien brain, and then betrays the rest of the cast to become the new brain and take over the alien hordes as a full-on sun god.

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE

When you get to him, he starts spouting off binary, because the alien's have instead infested him. I still have like six or seven weird ass chapters to go and I have no idea who's the main antagonist anymore. Even the Underworld, when seeming to be jerks, turn out helpful.

Also went from a Sonic Adventure-style boss fight to a section that reminded me strongly of the last levels of Ecco the Dolphin.

You know, I've loved this game since I bought it a year ago, but it is really fucking weird.
 
You changed your name when you turned back from the master race and started gaming like the console peasant that you are Quotemaster Prime.

You can't use the name Escusion anymore, not until you come back to us and beg for forgiveness.

Escusion is dead.

Escusion! That was it. I remember now, thinking "Who's this quotemaster prime dildo, and why's he got Escusion's avatar?"

The fact that my son's Pokemon are double the level of mine makes me feel old.
I hear ya. I played a lot on Saturday, but ran out of time yesterday due to errands, and today because I spent hours transferring my wife's Pokemon from Pearl to White in anticipation of the Pokemon bank in December.

I have a long shift tomorrow while she has subway time. She'll probably be ahead of me by the coming weekend.
 
Seriously, what is it about this new Pokemon that has everyone who's ever played it crawling out of the woodwork?

Pokemon is usually popular, but this is something different.
