Support NeoGAF

[Nitty_Grimes]

Well that reminds me of people that say PS or Xbox have no games. Are they moderated?

Maybe - but maybe they don't feel the need to make threads?

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Here ya go. Enjoy the mod comment too where they stroke off to penalizing people that have a differing opinion on their game whilst reading a thread about someone not giving the game a 10/10.

You knew what you were doing.

The people calling Sony games "interactive movies" know exactly what they are doing. Thankfully, so do the mods.

This.

EviLore These threads are so funny! You guys should make a grievances sub. Would be gold!

Microsoft bought NeoGAF.

SafeOrAlone Was it constructive criticism or just fanboying? People seem to have an issue distinguishing this.
A lot of the bull on here is transparent.

 

[mitch1971]

Seriously, enough with the account moderation/ban threads. Some of these beautiful generous members don't get paid till the end of the month. Pace yourselves god damn it!

I got a warning once for "console warring", when I was criticizing Sony lol. Was a while ago though.

I got a warning one time that I may get a warning. I thought it was fair, but I thought my joke was great and not waring. But I understood the point.

I'm starting to think that this wave of suicide topics that happened lately is just a ponzi scheme made by Evilore to get more people buying gold

If that's what you got hit for, that's pretty wild.

No, it's really not.

When a game features some industry leading game mechanics and has more gameplay than it does cutscenes how exactly is it an "interactive movie"?

An interactive movie is something like Black Mirror Bandersnatch and the closest things we've had to that in the gaming medium are things like the telltale games, experiences like Her Story and Quantic dream's games.

To argue God of War is similar to those games is intellectually dishonest and is not the springboard for anything resembling an interesting discussion, quite the opposite actually.

If people just want to blurt out disingenuous one liners without being reprimanded then maybe they should stick to twitter.

I'd interpret it as a sanction for a low effort opinion, not because it is a disagreeing opinion.

The argument about interactive movies has been used ad nauseum. It's not interesting, not worth sharing.

I bet there are other aspects of the game that can be criticized.

Well the term cinematic game literally could translate to an interactive film. It’s a low effort insult. But it’s what many games actually go for. Hellblade 2 is trying to get cinematic lens to be recreated in their game.

Hey, I recognize an emoji that must be based on this guy's necklace. Of all the crazy things to create emojis about, I didn't think they'd stoop to obscure memes. 🕉🕉🕉🕉

This.

Every one with more than one brain cell and playing video games know the difference between a Heavy Rain and God of War game.

It's just low effort and wants to provoke.

 

[The Cockatrice]

It's part of the risk when shitposting. I do it most of the time as well. No risk no reward. Heres a thread to calm your nerves tho:

This is a bad look.

Stand by your post. You got moderated for it, so what, take it and move on.

Yeah but God of war is 294274746274 times more gamey than something like hellbalde 2, they are not even on the same universe dude, the gameplay trailer for that one had barely any gameplay at all.

Latest gears of war are considered gameplay centric pure third person shooter and they have like over 4 hours of cutscenes.

 

[Mod of War]

Well that reminds me of people that say PS or Xbox have no games. Are they moderated?

Yes. I moderate trolling Xbox with that low effort meme all the time.

 

[FunkMiller]

Fuck me. Is there something in the baby formula water at the moment?

The tantrums are almost daily.

 

[Kvally]

Yeah but God of war is 294274746274 times more gamey than something like hellbalde 2,

Pretty sure you mean Hellblade 1. Nobody has played Hellblade 2, and they have only shown a single game play clip. We will probably find out in 2024 when/if the game comes out.

Hmm. Whomever made that didn't think it through. He would have seen her doing pull-ups long before prepping the rope.

Yes, yes:

You win this thread. Nice.

Well, Mod of War did get a 94 rating on modacritic.com so.....

don't tell the Koreans

I hope they are because is categorically untrue for any platform. It's the kind of thing it only has the purpose of incentivizing low effort discussion. Social networks are filled of that, why not go there and discuss at the same level?

Well the term cinematic game literally could translate to an interactive film. It’s a low effort insult. But it’s what many games actually go for. Hellblade 2 is trying to get cinematic lens to be recreated in their game.

You said it: it's intended to be an insult, not a description. For example, an extreme example can be found on MGS4. One could be snarky and say it's an interactive film or one could be objective and say that more than half the time spent on the game consists on watching cutscenes. What do you think it's a more interesting and useful opinion?

Many things can be said about games, why go with stuff that not only is not true but doesn't add anything to the discussion?

[Bonfires Down]

It would be great if any speech was allowed here, but in reality we have seen it lead to never ending console war which is terrible for existing members and a turn off for new members. You weren’t banned (at the time), you were warned so knock off the stupid memes like ”interactive movie”.

 

[dr_octagon]

Maybe Dr octagon just really likes pikachu.

I forgot it prompts notifications.

A low level troll is harmless in the pool of 10/10's.
