OT: Video Game Thread Part VIII

[Lord Defect]

I made camp several hundred yards away, cooked a metric ton of meat, and slept several cycles, only for it to wake me up dead ass on the ice of the lake the horse spawns on. That should have stopped the pure white Arabian from spawning, but as luck would have it, there it wasn’t.
I climbed up a snowy incline to peer over the vast alabaster nothingness to scout with my glass, only to find nothing. Nothing but pure virgin snow.
Attempting a simple drop of a foot, somehow I lost my way and fell head over heels, breaking my neck. Waking up fully recovered, wiping the sleep boogers my from my eyes and lo, my white whale is staring at me my yards away. As I gentle creep towards her; calling for her to be calm, she said f*** that and ran off. Several times.
I finally get close enough for the umpteenth time that I lasso her to get closer, breaker her spirit, I mean gain her trust, and lead her back to my previously beloved mare when several wolves descend from some hells asshole to try to ruin my day. I’m bucked from my new love, stumble to, and dispatch the tuefulhunden.
I’m currently “paused” as the kids say, to write this while I try to figure out how to put a saddle on her.

 

[Lord Defect]

I now shall practice yelling at animals before shooting them to perfect my hunting abilities. After checking in with my gang of course, I’ve been in the wild for days now, I’m sure they are worried sick.

 

[Lord Defect]

Shortly after dispatching this letter my horse has thrown me, over a simple tree branch sticking out as clear as the sun on a cloudless day.
I fear she does not care much for me.

 

[Lord Defect]

Yes I have an exorbitant bounty on my head, but my first order of business shall be to fashion a Mohawk mane on my new horse, and maybe a braided tail; I have not decided on the rear end beauticianal fancies.

 

[Lord Defect]

Keep in mind, this is my first play through, and obviously I am racking up bounties like it’s going out of style. Any suggestions to keeping the cash flow coming are greatly appreciated.

I have a nasty habit of telling people to f*** off with 45 long colt.

Nope

I'm just glad that EA is working on the important stuff like Rasmus Dahlin coming up with "new" celebrations for NHL 24.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Nope

Sucks.

oooh, good, even better we get this also!

 

[Striiker]

How about they fix their shit servers so the game will be playable instead?

 

[Magua]

DOUBLE TRUCULENCE

You’ll get this and you’ll like it!

 

[Striiker]

I won’t be getting shit since I haven’t bought an NHL game since the last one I bought.

I’m a FIFA rager now.

 

[trostol]

Once more

Gimme college foosball!!!!

 

[Lindberg]

oooh, good, even better we get this also!

Risking my life. LOL. Ok.

 

[Lord Defect]

oooh, good, even better we get this also!

This is just another thing for my AI teammates to get a penalty. Nothing like having an option to leave your feet.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

I'll be honest, I didn't really listen to what was said but this got me.

Honestly, just fix the f***ing AI, especially goalie AI.

Play 6s like a real man.

 

[Fire Tortorella]

Honestly, just fix the f***ing AI, especially goalie AI.

The AI will never be fixed and the only way to get the best experience out of the game is 6v6, or at least 5v5 with computer goalies.

Is there any sports game out there that doesn't revolve around abusing the AI? Baseball is different given how the sport works but I have to imagine Madden Fifa, and 2K are exactly the same.

We almost always try for 5v5. So rarely do we do 4v4 and we never do 6v6. When there are human goalies, it completely changes the games in terms of tactics, and while I didn't hate playing goalie years ago, it's really not as fun anymore.

What, you don’t enjoy watching your goalie do that stupid spin move and bitch slapping the puck in the net?

Or not covering a puck in the crease allowing an easy tap in for the other team?

Leaving the shortside post at every possible chance is probably the most aggravating. Another thing to add is not for the goalie to follow the puck, but to be able to pick up on other users in real time without having to take into account button presses (goalies and CPU players react to your button presses before the game does the action). Goalies have no concept of a 2 on 0 against, and only see one player with one puck coming. That's it.
