@AndyC_MK The account deletion is understandable, honestly. One way I make the time I spend writing paragraph after paragraph better is by saving them all in a folder. Is it healthy? I don't know, probably not. But I always have it there to easily copy and paste if a similar situation arises.
Of course I can agree with some of the stuff he says, but the way in which he goes about saying it is absolutely terrible. But most of it is just crap. I never know why someone would want to waste time just commenting random crap on websites. Maybe some sick pleasure?
And maybe I have a sick pleasure too. I enjoyed reading your replies, how he was getting totally knocked out of the ring. It was funny how at the end he said that he's just happy to have a good life, and that you'll never amount to anything. When for all he knows you're a trillionaire!
But regardless, thanks for this bit of entertainment!
I know that this game is unique and interesting, but, well, it doesn't fit under my criteria of 'game'. Games, in general, are fun, if played the right way. Whether its a board game, golf, or a video game, it should be fun. If it isn't fun, then don't call it a game! Unfortunately we never came up with a name for electronic software similar to games, but with one easily spottable difference being that, well, it isn't fun! Instead we decided to be mean and call certain things walking simulators.
@AndyC_MK I would like to thank you for showing me another user I should ignore. But I am sorry you had to go through that conversation. Also, seeing as you recently joined, I'd advise against asking Anti-Matter too many questions, as most to all answers involve shovelware.
I'm glad this game exists, but I won't be getting it. When it comes to videogames I much enjoy the game part, whereas this looks to be more of an interesting experience. But the creators seem like nice people, I hope it sells extremely well.
Mini consoles are fun, so of course I want more of them. I never got the original two, so I'd like to have those back in production too. And of course I want the same games on switch, handheld and home console.
I wonder how long it takes to beat it. The review says ambiguously "a long time" but does that mean 60 hours? Maybe 30? I would like to know how long incase I decide to buy used.
Yes I do. It was something fun to read through before you could play the game, or even after you beat it. They were nice, and were only stopped being produced because of greed.
If this was just a great game, I'd probably forget about it, but it's more then that. It's cringey. That one fact makes me want to get it. Sometimes it's just fun cringing at bad jokes, and this game seems like it would lean heavily into that. I'll try and get it in a month or so.
Interesting... This game could be unique if they lean heavily into the DNA splicing and morality systems, especially if they combine them together! Here's hoping they go above and beyond!
Can I just say that if I was him I would've chosen the switch? You get more time spent enjoying the presents compared to eating them all up in a week. But I suppose I was a strange kid regarding birthday presents.
For anyone wondering if you would like this, they came up with the idea through a game jam, meaning you can play the short game jam game for free to see if you'd like this!
@Antiriad2097 I see. Well this is what I believe, and will continue to live by. And if I were not a Christian I would be completely willing to discuss this and find a solution. But I am a Christian, and must listen to what the Bible says above all. Here's a passage about abstaining from sexual immorality. Ephesians 5:3a: "But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you," I consider nudity to violate this.
As for language, here's Ephesians 5:4: "Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving." I would say that strong language falls into this category. Not everyone in life curses every two sentences. It adds nothing to the conversation, and if fact shows weakness of controlling speech! I want little of this in any of the media I consume. 1 Corinthians 15:33 states: "Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.”" I believe that this applies to anything we consume lots of.
That being said, I am very strict on these things, even among my family! I want to leave life with minimal regrets. But I want to enjoy certain things while I'm here. That being said, if I feel like something is sin, I do my best to stay far away from it. If it isn't sin, what does it matter ten thousand years down the line? I probably won't even care about it by then!
As for virtual sin, I don't believe I'm qualified to answer this. That said, I'll do my best! I do not find it sinful to kill code, regardless of how the pixels are laid out on screen. The dangerous part is how you interact with what is "safe". If you kill random innocent creatures, would that be sin? No, no it wouldn't be. God put humanity above all creatures, whether they be in the air, sea, or ground. Not to mention these aren't even real creatures we're talking about.
What I do know is that it is far too easy to sin in multiplayer games. If a creature you intentionally kill belongs to another player, yes that would clearly be sin. It would be taking from another for your own benefit. What if it was an accident? Then what you do after the accident could be sin. What about voice chat? I don't even need to say anything here, we know there's ample opportunity for sin there too.
But as for the question, sometimes? Whether or not it's sin largely depends on how you the human treat it. I can't say the specifics, because, well, I don't decide them. God does. And if the creator of the universe tells me not to do something, I really don't want to do it!
I try to get all morality from the Inventor of it, that being God. Trust me, I have different opinions than what God says, but I follow Him, not myself. Gaming is fun, all hobbies are, but I cannot put it above God or what He says. When I realize I put anything above God, I find out how quickly and easily I can get it out of my life. I do not want this to happen to videogames.
If you have any more questions or comments, feel free to ask! This conversation has been good for my soul, and keeping me on track. Also, sorry about the really long message, this topic cannot easily be summed up into a short paragraph or two.
I love this game, too bad I 100%ed it in a week. (I had lots of time to play because that's when I had covid-19) Looking forward to the dlc! I hope we get more cutscenes out of it! And while yes, this game is just grinding resources, at least it's fun, unlike certain games I know.
It's fun! Playing and beating Mario Galaxy was a great experience, made better by my childhood memories! Not all games are as good as you remember them, but some are even better, and I love that.
I find ratings useful to know whether I should look into something more. If it says language, I find out how much. If it says nudity, I don't need to look it up. But I don't need ratings. I can find out for myself. I believe ratings are useful for parents who want to parent, but are too lazy to put in the effort to actually see what their children are wanting play. In which case, yeah, you have to feel bad for the kids just wanting to play Terraria with their friends.
It is entirely worth it. First off you can get all the ports for way cheaper. Then you can pick up the exclusives, with Nintendo land leading the charge. If you don't have a wii that's another consoles worth of games for you to get. And, well you could mod it, I'm not sure of what you could do with that, but you could certainly do it!
@Antiriad2097 I would consider nudity inappropriate, would you not? Same for Strong language. But as for there being hardly any games I immediately rule out, yeah, I'd have to agree. I believe they do need to put more of those types of games on switch, even if I don't like them. It's absurd they haven't ported any gta game yet, or any other game really. Of course the main reason I don't play these games is because I'm a Christian, and I don't want to cut off games completely because my favorites are full of sin. Given that fact it's perfectly reasonable that I'd want games I'm able to play, It's one of the main reasons I stick with Nintendo, after all. But as for the definition of inappropriate, I define it as: Anything that you would not feel comfortable showing a family, with ages as low as 5.
The Legend of Terrako. BOTW was building up to the main character of the entire Zelda series, Terrako! All future games will star him as the protagonist! Hyrule is safe under his protecting beam! Hylia is unnecessary! All shall tremble before our mechanical overlord!
I cannot stand anything printed on a shirt! I hate the feel of the strange cold touch compared to the rest of the shirt, its awful. I also don't like animal crossing, so I'll stay away from these.
Interesting, could see people who dislike the anime elements of fire emblem enjoying something like this. It also looks mostly finished, which is always nice to see on Kickstarter.
They could've turned it around in the past few years, but they didn't, and are now suffering the consequences. My local Gamestop closed down last year. I hope either they somehow do a fast turn around, or die quickly, its just a sinking ship at this point.
