Re: [Official!] Project Horizons Comment Crew Chat thread.
I have discovered something magical, gents! The worst video game sequel of all time, ever. Let me tell you about Max Payne 3: Call of Modern Cover-Based Shitshow Shooter.
And them's my complaints. Oh, and the weapon swapping system is atrocious, but that's because it's a console port. Grumble grumble grumble.
EDIT: I now realize how the Fallout 1 and 2 fans felt about 3. =P
- Max Paye 3:
First off, what do you think of when you think of Max Payne? Slow-mo flying through the air, duel-wielding uzis, extreme aggression gameplay? Wrong! Try cover based shooters. You will blindfire fifty magazines of your gun and you will enjoy it, motherfucker!
But, see, here's the thing; we, the developers, decided to make it a cover-based "realism" shooter at the last second, so there isn't any cover. In fact, nine times out of ten you'll start off in an area completely devoid of cover with goons shooting at you from a long way away. You might think you're supposed to dive at them, but you'd be wrong, because once you kill them the goons flanking you will come kill you. Oh, that's right, we have flanking goons now, because God knows that's the new hip modern thing, right? Giving the AI more pathways than the player and pretending it's not just a neo-monster closet hackjob?
Incidentally, don't try flying through the air. It drains your slow-mo meter now, you see, because FUCK YOU STOP USING DIVES, this is a COVER BASED SHOOTER NOW. Jeez, get the memo - fun and acrobatic gunplay is sooo last gen!
Max Payne 3: The SMG Only Has 20 Bullets. Oh, and I hope you don't want to reload your guns. Reloading will make you WISH you were playing with an LMG from Battlefield, and the animation glitches will make it so that half the time you won't have any bullets even after the ten minute animation finishes! Because if you were using every single bullet for a headshot, like you're supposed to in a COVER BASED SHOOTER WHICH THIS IS BY THE WAY, you'd never have to reload!
Oh, and level design! You know what's fun? Shooting through metal bars so that you can't see your enemy and half your bullets fail to go further than a foot in front of you. Yes. This is a good plan. Players will enjoy this feature. They like moronic things. Let's force players to do this.
Max Payne 3: The Only Redeeming Quality is the Slow-Mo Gore, and It Gets Old After the First Level. Hey, you remember painkillers, right? Well, now you can use them up automatically in a looong-ass slowmo sequence when you're dying - you slowly get back up, half your health gone, if you can kill the goon that killed you! Of course, all the other goons are still shooting at you, so the smart player will just hit ESC and click on the "Restart from Checkpoint" button. What's that? That button's disabled during this sequence? Well! It's a good thing that you never end up just shooting at a wall for half of them because 9/10 times you'll be shot to death while completely in cover and end up with nothing to shoot at! Oh, wait, that's a fucking lie.
Max Payne 3: Did We Mention the Dive Mechanic Should Never Be Used? Because you don't actually go any distance with it, you know. Honestly, it's only good for depleting your bullet time meter and getting the best kind of cover available - lying down. Yes, your enemies are very bad at shooting prostrate targets. Lie down to live, that's what I always say! (In fairness, this at least was also true in Max Payne 2; however, in 2, I'm pretty sure you could at least ROLL once you were on the ground, and it certainly let you stand up faster.)
Hey, remember the kinda fun story from Max Payne 2? It didn't completely suck, right? Well... you won't play past the third level in 3, so your experience of the story is going to be kind of mediocre. Suffice it to say, nobody has motivations, nobody is worth giving a damn about, and we thought that noir writing involved slapping random words together and calling it a metaphor.
What's the best kind of targeting reticle? A tiny dot? And the best color for it is a smokey grey? Well, okay, if you insist!
Max Payne 3: We Don't Understand Why There Was All That Norse Mythology Nonsense In Previous Installments Any More Than You Do.
Max Payne 3: Summer In Brazil Is Sort Of Like Winter In New York, Right?
/jokes&rants
Seriously, though. It's just... so horribly mediocre in almost every respect. It's an awful game tacked on to a decent engine. I didn't even like Max Payne 2 all that much - I completed it, but it seriously dragged at some points and kept vacillating in tone at awkward moments - but this is just... How do you fuck up flying through the air whilst shooting two guns at the same time? How do you do that? How do you look at that mechanic and think, "Hmm, this is okay, but it needs more cover-based shooting." This could so easily have been the most stylish AAA title out there if it wasn't such a total hackjob.
Pros: the cutscene/gameplay integration is actually kind of cool, even if Mass Effect 3 did it just as well while having better shooting mechanics. God, that's sickening - Mass Effect 3 feels more fluid than Max Payne 3. What has the world come to?
And them's my complaints. Oh, and the weapon swapping system is atrocious, but that's because it's a console port. Grumble grumble grumble.

Well unless it was ported by another company not sure why it being a console port is an acceptable excuse. Even then minecraft was ported to console by a different company and they made changes if they didn't I'd be saying "wow this crafting system is really shitty for a controller. But it's a PC port so grumble grumble."
Anyway sorry. When I hear "It's a console port." I hear "It's worse because it was on console." Excusing the developer's laziness.

Re: [Official!] Project Horizons Comment Crew Chat thread.
There's a wonderful comic about something like that. Someone peddling a "natural look" make-up while a girl mention that "she doesn't wear make-up, isn't that natural enough?" and the guy claiming that "she can't reach a "natural look" without their products, that she'll look less... (more or less they describe a normal look, and she goes "so... less like without makeup?)". And the whole comic ending with him stating that "I don't think you understand what a "natural look" means..." and her retorting that "no, you don't." (or something like that)StoneSlinger88 wrote:It comes down to everybody wants more money and enforcing "higher-standard" beauty ideals is one way to get it by stimulating the sale of beauty products while also being douchenozzles.Kattlarv wrote:Don't overly see the relevance to this and them changing all the manequins to have DD instead of average sized breasts to put more pressure on people to become "normal".StoneSlinger88 wrote:They're linking the clothes and attractiveness-- the attractiveness they picked are the famous Double-D's. "Buy this and it'll help you look like this!" Almost every ad out there has some form of it; trucks, cars, perfumes, deodorant, bodywashes, make-up, pants, shirts, hats, skateboards, the list goes on and on. It's about people looking at it and going "I want to look like that" or "I want to be able to do that" even if it's entirely impractical, and the message always conveys a sense of "Buy this and you can!" to the viewer. It's all about the money, and people willing to pay to be something they aren't tend to spend a lot of it.Kattlarv wrote:@OAC: (trend) http://jezebel.com/5900928/your-vagina-isnt-just-too-big-too-floppy-and-too-hairyits-also-too-brown Also, there is http://www.theguardian.com/society/2008/mar/25/children.news (just took random first site about it) that, and the fact some contry changed their manequins to DD in breast size, ALL of them, to better fit the country's new ideal/standard of female beauty... along with the statement "there are no such thing as inner beauty, that's just something ugly women made up to justify themselves."
But yeah, I've been trying to wallop into people for years that the porn norm was solely invented to earn money by having monopoly on what people were supposed to like. Having something so retarded over the top and uncommon, that they were the only ones that could be the sole supplier. But no, apparently it's impossible to influence people's preference, and "it's always been like that".
@Camo: (name) You think that's bad? There's someone named "Hugh Tiits" There was also a couple more "really bad names"... but forgot them.

There's some alpha gameplay from Blizzcon out there. They had more Warcraft characters.

Oh I'm sure. Just think they should have put two heros/villians from each franchise in the trailer. Afghans was there maybe Sylvanas (sure I spelled that wrong) would have been good.

Re: [Official!] Project Horizons Comment Crew Chat thread.
One of my brothers brought up the fact that he had recently shot a deer, and he offered me some of the ground meat. It quickly turned into us discussing what would happen if he tried to mail the carcass to me, and then ended with the idea of the mailman shoving the deer's head into the mailbox and leaving the decaying corpse to just hang there.
