| XIII_rocks 07/14/20 11:55:30 PM #29 | Me too but alas I believe - and I'm not an expert - that there are anti-monopolistic hadith which lead to, like I said, regulations on sales and promotions in certain Islamic countries - so stuff like trade-in, that would lead to systemic price reduction, would be hard to get through. But maybe it's nothing to do with that. There's probably someone more knowledgeable about it than me out there that could explain it better or correct me. --- Not to be confused with XIII_stones. https://imgur.com/agodP3r |

| Topic | What Was Gaming Like in the Middle East? |
| XIII_rocks 07/14/20 10:20:31 AM #27 | I found this video interesting because of how much it clashed with my own experience We're talking like 10-15 years later and Qatar is more westernised than Kuwait so I suppose differences are natural but my experience is literally "go to Virgin/Tcc/Saqr, buy game". The big problem I have is the lack of trade-in. I didn't want to pay full price for Spiderman (I think) so I wanted to trade a used game for it but literally no stores do it here. I think it's heavily regulated (like sales/promotions in general). --- Not to be confused with XIII_stones. https://imgur.com/agodP3r |

| XIII_rocks 07/14/20 12:32:57 AM #52 | Mass Effect You can take this to mean ME1 or the entire trilogy, even though it really isn't ME1 2 has more characters and they're all good, but 3 uses the cast way better with their banter on the ship and Citadel, so tough call. --- Not to be confused with XIII_stones. https://imgur.com/agodP3r |

I really didn't like The Stadium, On Foot, The Forward Base, The Aquarium, or Winter Visit - that's five out of six of Abby's first Seattle Day 1 chapters. Total borefest. I wouldn't quite go this far but the DIY store with two pretty unsubstantial support characters, and the stuff just after that, was pretty boring. I liked the stadium because I thought it was a pretty cool idea and a great visual. Shimmer was the biggest jumpscare in the game for me right next to the god damn Weapon Bench jumpscare, fuck them so much for that. --- Not to be confused with XIII_stones. https://imgur.com/agodP3r |

Well, the only other way to read what you posted is that opinions are only valid if someone goes in as a blank slate with no preconceived opinions one way or the other, and that's really stupid, so I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt with my interpretation Again, idk why you keep taking it to the greatest possible extreme just to escalate things here --- Not to be confused with XIII_stones. https://imgur.com/agodP3r |

| XIII_rocks 07/13/20 3:25:53 PM #48 | PrivateBiscuit1 posted... If I bought this game and played it and still said "I think the story is still the drizzling shits and this is why" then the same people who said I can't give a proper opinion on it because I didn't play it would move the goal posts to "Well we can't take your opinion on it seriously because you watched the game before playing it!" It's a can't win for people who already want to discount negative opinions about this game. They'll come up with any excuse to delegitimize actual criticism. Well, yeah. Your first impression has been completely spoiled/tainted and a prejudice has been built. It has lost a lot of its impact. And that's not a personal attack or anything, that's just natural. You can't erase the memory. It'd be the same for anyone. I was relatively unspoiled, except for Joel, and that had very little initial impact because I knew it was coming. I'll never get that back and it kind of sucks. --- Not to be confused with XIII_stones. https://imgur.com/agodP3r |

It recontextualises the entire game. I don't think it's guaranteed or anything! But you're fundamentally handicapping your experience with the game by not playing it and that can have substantial changes on how you perceive it. --- Not to be confused with XIII_stones. https://imgur.com/agodP3r |

| XIII_rocks 07/13/20 2:59:12 PM #37 | davidponte posted... Yeah, this isn't something that only exists with this game. I don't get nearly the same emotional response watching a game as I do playing it in general, which is why I don't usually watch people play games unless I have no desire to play them or I already have played them and have experienced them myself. Yeah I said in previous topics that I felt a huge reluctance to act at certain points. Dread, tension, anxiety. But I also never considered stopping. It was a strange push-pull that I've never really felt before. --- Not to be confused with XIII_stones. https://imgur.com/agodP3r |
