    The Last of Us

    While I did enjoy the Ellie/Joel chemistry the best part of the story was the set pieces and stumbling along the stories of those who either survived or died trying to survive here and there. That's what I liked the most. The best gameplay elements were when you had nothing and had to sneak...

    The Last of Us

    All things considered they don't seem that expensive. $2500 and Sony does free periods a lot apparently. https://www.polygon.com/2013/7/24/4553842/so-how-much-does-it-cost-to-develop-for-playstation-4 That being said. Even if you weren't a hobbyist making Ps4 games in your garage or whatever...

    Read that Tarkan Puzzler book yesterday. It was ok. I have a real hard time reading sci-fi stuff though. As much as I love sci-fi I get irritated when shit doesn't sound at least remotely plausible. And the whole Puzzler thing is batshit.

    Caveat here is that while this is useful each time you use the VA loan the loan origination fee increases significantly.

    It takes a special kind of idiot, or federal law enforcement, to make an issue of these kind of people. They go out of their way to live in their survivalist compounds out in BFE off the grid and they associate with nobody. Hoard guns ammo and wait for the end times or whatever the fuck they do...

    The latest in the Completionist Chronicles came out. The class/skill system in that series is unbelievable. I would kill for a game that could pull that off. Not even tabletop could do it effectively though or it would take a lot of effort. It's awesome. You choose a number of generic basic...

    I switched to amd/radeon for my most recent pc build. Just because the price point being hundreds cheaper compared to Intel/Nvidia. Suits me well enough.

    What did you just read?

    For sure. And I enjoy most of these books. But if its just solving one crisis after the next and hitting back at square one over and over again I just get tired of it. Much like Silicon Valley in that regard. Compounded by shit like in Valkyrie. One advantage just gets shit on by an...

    Got caught up on Expeditionary Force and after the 12 or so books of it I may be done after the last one. While I generally enjoy Joe and Skippy's space adventures in the last 4 books he's done absolutely nothing to advance the greater plot of the series. IE, Elder Mystery, Humanity gaining some...

    Only game development is like this. I've been a dev 7 years now working in financial software then monitoring software. None of this massive crunch time shit that game industry works on exists. You're also paid way better overall. I applied to an EA job as a staff Software Engineer years ago...

    Seems to be an inherent feature of the monitors. If my PC is off like it is when I am working it defaults to whatever input is active. Which is the work PC. I've never ran both at once. If I decide to dick off during the workday I just fire up the PS4 and switch input on my second monitor.

    I just mean the utter absurdity of addressing the problem of, "racism" in a society where you can murder, rape and steal with impunity. Ellie was what? 13 and killing full grown men?

    In the ruins of society overrun by flesh eating mushroom zombies. Joel and Ellie tackle a religious racist post-apocalyptic KKK. Real impressive writing there. Even in the apocalypse we have to deal with r A c I s T s.

    The Last of Us

    I would say generally sure. But in this case EVERYTHING points to Druckman being in complete control and having the ability to tell those on his team to fuck off if they questioned his genius. Just like in Mass Effect 3 and Star Wars.

    The Last of Us

    That mindset is fairly common it seems. From Lucas himself to Mass Effect. Their initial leadership is reigned in by competent teams that provide constructive criticism throughout the process resulting in masterpiece level work. But by the time the next sequel or whatever comes around and the...

    They could have really explored the hosts realizing the scale and complexity of human society. They should have taken some pages from The Culture series which, despite being fairly batshit sci-fi, paints a very clear picture of exactly how a utopian human society would function. In that series...

    Gameplay highlight of the first game is when you had to sneak through that parking garage basement when you usually had very little resources to getting caught meant you're dead.

    The Last of Us

    Gameplay in 1 wasn't very good. It is okay at best. The setting was cool and going around finding the, very well written, journal entries of people trying to survive the zombie apocalypse. Along with the various set pieces to go along with it. Those were what made the first game awesome.
