I think if anything I've grown to respect the franchise more and more.

Like as a kid it was fun fucking around with my friends and driving the vehicles, but now I can really appreciate things like the level design and lore. Not to mention all the secrets and extra challenges that boost the replayability.

Also Halo 3 ODST is severely underrated and I'll take every opportunity to promote it when I can.

I don't know what it is lately, but I've noticed a lot of people are making others feel guilty for 'not helping society enough'

Like do homeless people need help? Absolutely, but you should never be guilt tripped into giving them money every time you're asked. If you want to actively help, then donating to organizations is far more helpful than to individuals and is in general more trustworthy.

At the end of the day though it's your money and ultimately your call.

Yeah that's actually pretty impressive to have beaten it already. It took me a couple months of stopping and starting to actually beat it. The final boss was on the verge of being just too much for me. I was already having a hard time with the first phase and when I was looking for strategies online, I discovered there was a second phase.

I literally ended up having to set aside a whole day just to do it. Gotta say though definitely one of the most rewarding gaming experiences of my life.

This is one of those games, the same type as VVVVVV. Everything kills you in one hit, you respawn super quickly, and it's intended that you'll rack up hundreds of deaths. There's even a cool little feature where when you finally complete a level it replays all your attempts at once. I think I'll like this game, but I'm not really an aficionado of those games, and a part of me is a little worried I'll get frustrated.

World 4 and the last couple of levels including the final boss will likely cause you the most frustration. Some levels do have tricks that make them easier tho.

Joe Camel - Sonic in this argument. The claim that these games are geared towards adults is absolutely false and lawmakers haven't caught up with technology enough for even Sega or Apple to claim these games aren't meant to be aimed toward children.

We have a precedent in this country to tolerate scummy business practices until it become predatory to children. Gatcha games crossed the line cigarette companies and sugar companies crossed ages ago.

I dont think Joe Camel had that much actual influence on kids. Since teenage smoking is still an issue to this day.

I really don't see how this is targeted towards kids when they don't have their own credit card. Sure you have the occasional incident like this one, but it's not nearly enough to support the plague of in game purchases that exists. The argument of well they expect the parents to buy it doesn't work either, because at a certain point any decent parent should see how addictive it gets and stop wasting their money on microstransactions.

Very well said!

I too love the freedom and open ended possibilities with quests. It adds a lot to the replay value and opportunities to roleplay. Even after four playthroughs I managed to find myself having a good time.

I'm also incredibly fond of the many secrets and Easter eggs you can find. Things like tracking down Snowglobes, Unique Weapons and Skill Books really incentivize you to explore the wasteland to its fullest and keep playing even once you've finished all the quests. Also as a side note I highly recommend taking the Wild Wasteland trait if you do replay the game. Not only does it give you a ton of Easter eggs, but it also lets you get the most powerful weapon in the game.

Your flaws with the game are spot-on. I'm actually happy you brought up how the technology isn't quite there for games like this as I think it's a recurring problem for the decade as a whole. A lot of games I noticed want to put an emphasis on player choice, but very rarely is it done perfectly.

New Vegas is definitely one of the better ones as the choices you make with the smaller factions actually matter. Largely due to the end cards they all get at the end of the game. The main quests on the other hand really don't, the final mission is the same regardless of who you side with. Plus there's an obvious 'good' ending, so it kind of invalidates the NCR and House's neutral endings. Which really sucks, especially since Yes Man can have a Neutral ending too if you want.

That said I still think it's a lot better than the options presented in ME2 or Heavy Rain for example. Even some of the games further down on the list struggle with this. So I guess I'm kinda of okay with game being buggy as hell, since it still managed to be fun. That said I do think Bethesda has let it get way too out of hand recently.

As far as 3 vs. New Vegas goes. I think it boils down to preference. Both are really immersive, but for different reasons and I like how it ties into the lore too. 3 is more about exploration and secrets. Since D.C. was a huge target for the nukes. There's far less NPCs as a result and many of them are far more primitive. New Vegas on the other hand has more fun with its quests and different factions. So I have a lot of respect for both and I think it just boils down to preference.

This is essentially it. Tbqh I'm surprised this topic is still going, did you all not see my coup de gras a while back where I got FD to compare mobile games to cigarette machines?

People arguing over whether the lady was stupid are missing the point in the same way wealthy companies want you to miss the point. Oh our dangerously hot coffee welded an elderly ladies vagina shut? Dumb bitch she should have know coffee is hot lmao.

There's no amount of stupidity or neglect that makes it okay for sonic forces to get 16k out of someone's wallet. A game that ALLOWS you to spend 16k is inherently flawed and obviously predatory.

I don't think anybody disagrees with you on microtransactions being super scummy, but most of that is really geared towards adults who don't care about their money. The core issue in this case was a parent not paying attention when they should have.

This has been a constant issue. There's been issues with violent video games, fast food restaurants, different genres of music, movies, etc. Parents refuse to pay attention to what their kids are taking in, then look for a scapegoat as a result of their bad parenting.

at what age should a child be allowed to have a phone?

I don't think it's something you can put an exact age on as there's plenty of factors to look at. But generally I don't think kids should have smart phones until middle school at least.

That's not even my point though. In general I think parents need to stop relying on smart phones and tablets to raise their kids. This kid is 6 and apparently has casual access to his moms iPad and as a result her credit card. It's literally nothing more than a lack of responsibility on the parents part.

Like obviously it wasn't great, but not everybody knows about child security settings and would think to prepare for microtransactions in an Apple store game. A lot of people aren't that tech savvy to even think about something like this, let alone know how to prevent it.

She was obviously tech savvy enough to save her credit card info on her iPad.

Oh yeah I guess I'm done with 2010, figured some rankings would be fun.

  1. Super Mario Galaxy 2
  2. Fallout: New Vegas - This was so close to first, but the glitches and the main quest line hurt it too much.
  3. Mass Effect 2
  4. Super Meat Boy
  5. Halo Reach - This is mostly due to nostalgia and its multiplayer
  6. Civilization V
  7. Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
  8. Call of Duty: Black Ops - Also higher due to nostalgia and multiplayer
  9. Bayonetta
  10. VVVVVV
  11. Red Dead Redemption - Probably the biggest disappointment here
  12. Heavy Rain
N/A Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty

Looking forward to see how yours compare
