In 1898, the Georges Melies film "The Astronomer's Dream" came out. It is one of the first films ever. Smaller films existed before but for easy math I selected this one to represent the beginning of film.
In 1958, Tennis for Two was created in what is often considered the first video game.
So, if we do 2017 - 1958, we see that gaming is about 59 years into it's medium.
So 1898 + 59 = 1957
The top film in 1957 was "The Bridge on the River Kwai:" a story of POWs captured by the Japanese and forced into hard labor to build a bridge, while the Allies plot to blow it up.
That long into the medium of film, filmmakers were creating works the caliber of "The Bridge of the River Kwai"
What is "The Bridge of the River Kwai" of gaming, in 2017?

I liked it. It allowed me to act differently for each character, and not break "immersion". I could go to a drive-by on other niggas with Franklin, go muddin in the hills with Trevor in a tricked out truck, and fuck prostitutes then dump them off a pier with Michael.

>>386356886
Trevor ruined the game. Prove me wrong.

>switch character
>wait a few minutes
>switch back
>all of your customization for that character are now gone
if it wasn't for this I wouldn't mind as I can just neglect the other two characters.

3d models on a 2d plane isn't anything spectacular, graphics are just a frontend to what's going on within the engine

Bullshit, have you seen how good SF V looks?
>>
>>386357127
you're not seeing what i'm saying
the novelty of being restricted to 2d movement is not a novelty
it was even done in smash bros
do you think working with 3d models begets automatic requirement to have 3d movement or the graphics don't work so easily? no
any PROGRAMMER would know that
and i learned to program 3d graphical routines by hand in college

learn how to coordinate with a team, pick him in the right maps/gamemodes, and don't just stay in your fucking turret mode, move around and kill shit. He's great.

thoughts on Titanfall 2?
I've been itching for a new shooter lately and this didn't cross my mind until last night. downloaded the trial, had a lot of fun playing the campaign, but there wasn't an option to try out multiplayer, which is really what I'm looking for.

buy it. git gud.

>>386354628
I mean, getting gud is always the goal.
I'm going to play through the campaign again and really focus on the gameplay, just to help solidify my decision.

>>386354409
The campaign was not bad, better than the last CoD. It kinda ended in the same way though but the journey was more fun. I think the wall running puzzles annoying but kind of fun as it's own thing. Graphics a re nice.
Remember when we laughed at that one game that had a 6 hour campaign. This is the 6 hour campaign that feels like it's 6 hours too long.

All of the Sakurais out there are long gone because of all the bs surrounding this and a lot of other industries for the last 2 generations or so.
Plus they know they can get away with it.

Make no mistake: The reason this game is not being released in the U.S. is because Capcom is terrified it will outperform World and get everyone demanding a Switch version of that.
