I was getting pretty long load times last night after the patch they did. My guess is that it had to re-initialize a lot of things post-patch after that first startup. I'm hoping tonight it won't take as long.
Punisher outfit spoiler: What happened here! I can't believe he spray paints a goddamn skull to his shirt. Doesn't the vest he gets already look like a skull? Minor point but whatever.
The reasoning behind that, at least in the comics, was so that bad guys would be distracted by the skull and shoot at his chest rather than his head since it's a bigger target to hit and see. Also, since it's Punisher and such a well known logo, it had to show up at some point.
Hmm... if Man of Steel opened at $116 million, and The Dark Knight Rises opened at $160 million, and Deadpool opened at a shocking $132 million.... I'm guessing somewhere around $147 million.
btw, while I have you all here, how many of you watched GB interns Kessler and Lemon do their weird Youtube series The Fear Gauntlet?
They mostly only played horror games for about a 20 minute episode then never revisited them, but for some reason they played through the entirety of Condemned across like a zillion episodes, and it was actually really entertaining.
I did. I thought they were great (mostly cause I know Lemon personally and went to school with him). Him freaking out in Resident Evil where the dogs come out of the window was hilarious.
Seeing how long it took for them to announce an actual initial date, it wouldn't surprise me if they delayed it to November and bundled it with Sony's VR.
Not exactly, but there a number of movies that I've seen and enjoyed before reading the book (or not reading the book at all), that most fans of the books seem to loathe. Hitchhiker's Guide and Watchmen, being the foremost examples. While I haven't read Watchmen yet (it... seems like something that might be hard to get into, if you weren't into comics at that time), I have since read a fair chunk of the Hitchhiker's Guide series.
With Watchmen I thought the movie was extremely faithful to the book, with the exception of the ending which, honestly, made a helluva lot more sense in the movie than in the book. The only thing that the movie didn't have was the Tales of the Black Freighter comic story, but that was added as a bonus feature on the DVD release if I recall correctly.
Haven't actually read it, but I've heard Forrest Gump was a way better movie than book.
So far I'm in the neutral camp, and it's in the same camp that Gone Home is for me. Artsy game being artsy (which isn't a bad thing) and is different, but is nowhere near being a contender on my list for GOTY and not really getting the same bubbly feelings others would. Just got to Undyne and doing a pacifist run, and so far I just kinda want it to be over and not really looking to play it a second time to get a different ending.
Some of the writing gave me a light chuckle, but most of it so far I would equate to a bunch of Redditors trying to out-pun each other constantly. I do think the combat mechanic is pretty neat, but not executed as well as it could be.
I'd reserve judgement until you beat the game if you say you are up to Undyne in your Pacifist run. Comparing the game to Gone Home or other artsy games is a HUGE disservice to what Undertale is.
I just double checked the ending of the Pacifist run and it still hits like a ton of bricks. No other moment in video games captures what happens during "the moment" when music, gameplay, text, and characters all come together so amazingly well.
Ehhh.... just finished it. Didn't kill anyone, spared Asgore, Flowey appears and ices him, then the game...crashes? It has its moments, I'll give you that (particularly the Mettaton EX fight), but there are other games that have captured these kind of moments amazingly well. Bastion is one at the top of my head that pulled it off, and it was without a doubt a much better game than this. I'm still in the neutral category of this game, and I'm not really up for doing multiple playthroughs to get "true endings" to games. Might do the kill Asgore choice, but beyond that I probably won't come back to the game.
Different strokes for different folks. Didn't hate it, didn't love it. I got my $8 of entertainment out of it.
That wasn't the Pacifist route. You only did the Neutral route. The things that people talk about happens in the Pacifist route. If you really didn't kill anyone then...
HOLD ON. Did you say the game crashed?
Flowey appears during the ending and tells you that he knows how to get you a better ending. You reload your file again and you listen to what he tells you to do. There is no repeat content. It's all new content. There is no multiple playthrough. You pick up where you left off right before you fight Asgore.
So I loaded up the save and went through that new content. Flowey fight was pretty interesting, but all in all I think it's a bit of an oversight to have the game crash on you be part of the narrative. Had I not known that, I would've just stopped playing since I assumed that's the ending. Epilogue was OK too, but I didn't try to do the whole sidequest stuff that it hinted at to get the full pacifist ending, and I don't intend to go back to it.
Still just an OK game to me. Probably will watch the other endings to see what they're like, but apart from those, I've gotten my money's worth out of it.
