Old-Timey Homoerotica; BLOOD DRAGON

Felix

so, this game is aesthetically pretty wonderful, but I'm not any good at the shooting.

it does have a guy basically doing a bad David Hayter impression muttering under his breath "UNNH! I HATE TUTORIALS!" so there's that

go ahead, but a) it's not clear to me that saving works, and b) speaking as someone who's not particularly great at FPSes, the game doesn't seem to be very good

it seems pretty linear but I only got about half an hour in, and like I said, it appears not to save

the stealth is sorta fucked; you seem to be majorly incentivized to stay hidden but using any of your weapons alerts everyone? and the level design is almost interesting/complex but never in such a way that you can actually make good use of it?

I dunno, I've never played a far cry game before

it is cool that they actually got michael biehn, I hadn't noticed that

the production is really well-executed and fun, it's just the fact that it's far cry that kind of sucks

VHS tapes are great though

I never actually owned a TV with anything other than coax input; I hooked my playstation, dreamcast, gamecube, and ps2 up through the RCA jacks of a VCR

and I used the dreamcast to play divx VCDs

I think the number of DVDs I owned, total, was like ... <20. the time period during which I had the means to play them before it became preferable to just acquire and store higher quality rips on the computer was like ... six years? 2002-2008?

I also first played gears of war by hooking up my athlon xp / radeon 9600 machine through s-video on that same VCR, because I could only get acceptable framerates at 640x480 and I didn't have any display on which that resolution didn't look like a smeared mess apart from the old coax tv.

I trust RPS, it may actually be a good game, I just couldn't get into the rhythm of what they were doing between the stealth and the level design at all

if memory serves, the SNES shipped with an RF adapter? I don't recall that I ever bought an RF adapter separately (I had the VCR, after all).
