Abby claiming that Dream Daddy "revolutionizes" dating sims/VN genre while also claiming that she played very little of the genre strikes me as hypocritical. I still likes Abby, I thought she brings a new voice & perspective into a rather close knit group, but I really hope she would open up her taste a little.
@meauntienora: What makes the endorphin rush in CR different than obtaining loot in The Division or Destiny or winning a round in Halo?
I never really cared about chest because what gives me the rush is playing against other players and I could count on CR to match me against someone on my level so I basically could play anytime I want.
I agree that monetization is a bad trend, but it's the reality of today's gaming, and I would rather have CR's monetization system than fucking paywall or energy-based-play.
Man, people need to chill the fuck out. Just because it's a mobile game, doesn't mean it's pay-to-win, money-sucking-demon heap of trash some people in the comment made it sound like. It's genuinely a great game with obnoxious micro transaction, but you know what? You can play it ANYTIME you want. The only thing stopping you from playing is if you're more into that endorphin rush that you get from obtaining chest. It's almost like a study on today gamers' psyche.
This is a great read, but the piece about Destiny kinda bugs me. I was that guy who thought vanilla Destiny is bad and people who liked it should feel bad, but I never really gave it another thought behind it. I just felt that people should feel bad for liking bad games. But after reading this I feel like there is something else that made me feel that way towards Destiny fans. I think I was just afraid that Destiny would set precedent for others to follow. That may also be the reason why I have the same feeling about modern military shooter genre in general. I thought I was put off by the blatant jingoism but it turned out I rarely -if ever- care about the theme or messages in shooter.
Don't get wrong. I do now think I was wrong in guilt-shaming people on liking Destiny or whatever games I think it's bad, but now I know the reason behind it.
I never played this because my family couldn't afford dreamcast, but i remember seeing this on a magazine and it blew my mind. I started playing pretend with my brother and couple of friends and imagined about this game and argued about who will form the head (i thought all mecha had a "gattai" mechanic at that time).
I must admit, i initially dismissed Undertale as just another gimmicky indie game with retro visual and still believed it was nothing special even after watching the QL halfway.
But then the demo ending happened and i was a little choked up and immediately drawn to Toriel. I then spent hours reading the lore and watching let's plays (unfortunately, i don't have pc right now, but fortunately i'm not really bothered by spoilers) and i immediately fell in love with this game, especially with it's characters. And the soundtrack! Oh god the soundtrack is so good.
