Random Video Game Crap

[Bubble181]

Man, I own both The Force Unleashed AND The Force Unleashed 2, both in GOTY editions, they actually sound like games I'd like, and yet - I've never installed or played either.

I don't know if this is just "random crap' because it's something I'm curious about but with no interest for others at all, or if it could be a fun forum game, or whatever. But Steam offers the option to order your game list by last activity as well as a bunch of other options.
I sorted my library, and erm, hrm. Some games I thought I'd tried "recently" apparently haven't been played in 4 years. Some games are waaay older than I thought. And oddly, despite having played a bit of games already this year - I haven't played a single Steam game.
And now I'm curious about others and what they find. "Oops, I bought a hundred games I've never installed", "Huh, I've played more games this year than the year has days", whatever.

I buy almost nothing on game sales these days...because I have so many games I've bought previously and have yet to play.

Ever since it switched over to the new library paradigm, which discarded all my specially curated categories with no warning, I've just been using this "most recent activity" order as my default.

That may be the key to getting more female fans of prog music.

Dying Light 2 can be a bit janky sometimes:

There's a new game on Steam called "Model Builder" that should be flagged for false advertising. There's options to build cars, ships, Gundams, etc.

But no option to build Cindy Crawford, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, etc.

"Model" builder, my ass.

Thanks man, saved me a buy-and-refund!

Now look, we caved on this whole "must wear little more than nipple pasties and g-strings" thing, you can't possibly expect us to accept peach fuzz, or ANY hair that grows in any non-scalp area! That's just SACRILEGE!

I don't know what y'all are on about... clearly she's just an immature 5th age dwarf slowly coming into her beard.

(You know, when i 1st saw that image cropped on reddit, i assumed it was something about the blemishes on the skin, and some idiot complaining about that... )

 

[sixpackshaker]

The neckbeard is jealous that he can't grow a beard that thick.

Okay but real talk, the fact that we can put fine hairs on video game characters now is kinda mind-blowing to me. I grew up in an era when women in video games looked like this.

I was a full grown adult when this came out.

When I was truly a kid, Custer's Revenge was the closest thing I would've had to sexy female graphics--only there was no Internet to tell me that it even existed.

I actually played it in the wild but the gameplay was so awful and the hitboxes so inscrutable (a common problem with Atari/C64 games of the era) that I couldn't even make it across to the tied up maiden even once.

I'm pretty sure this was my first encounter with the idea of naked girls being fun to look at

I'm already a horrible cook, but this'd probably make me cut off my own arm by accident.

And then Ramsay will yell at you for your arm being raw, unseasoned, and having terrible presentation.

And then he will be rejected by the Legion of Super-Heroes.

I've got all Gameboy, gba, nes, snes, Sega Genesis, Sega CD, sega32x, and TurboGrafx 16 games that were released in North America on this bad boy. All of them. As well as about 30 PSX games and a handful of Capcom arcade titles.

And I don't feel a bit bad about it

That good old 2000s physics engine goodness.

It also was already posted on the reddit, but the crossbow pins enemies to the wall if they stand close enough to one.
If I remember correctly, there was even an achievement for pinning a soldier to a billboard.

I have a color and an og in my house.

Hah, when I was in high school, these were the shit. I sometimes wish I had one still.

Edit: OMG, you can buy the remake "just like the original!" on amazon.

This was what I had when I was just a little bitty nipper -

Never could figure out how passing worked, but man I could run the ball for a TD every snap.
