Mah Gawd, Demna, get rid of some of those gifs in your sig.
Every time I try to scroll past your first post of the page, it lags.

I'm thankful the sig doesn't appear on every post on a page....

I think it would sometime if the near future. Not as a triple A title, but anything else, it would do very well if done, marketed, and approached right.

I think the episodic approach The Walking Dead took would be perfect for that kind of game. The Walking Dead has sold fantastically well, so why wouldn't that kind of gritty, realistic, and also honest game sell=??? I mean, games like MGS4, MGS V, Heavy Rain, the Mass Effect Trilogy, etc. have had deep stories, and yet sold well.

Gamers are very open to these kind of deep storytelling, especially since there's a lot of shallow storytelling in gaming. We like seeing variety, we like buying things that stick out (as well as "fit in" and "fit the trend"), which is why such a game that goes against the grain would do well if everything in regards to it was approached the right way, especially the marketing and to whom the game is being marketed to.

Also, I never got the deal with parents being mad about violent video games. I played Mortal Kombat as a kid, and I thought it was funny how fake and violent it was. I never thought of GoldenEye as me "killing people" because it was so unrealistic. Flash forward to today, and still the deaths and whatnot are pretty unrealistic; people don't die from one headshot immediately usually. Heck, some people don't even die from headshots, especially if it doesn't effect the brain.

This brings Abraham Lincoln's Secratary of State, William H. Seward into mind. He got stabbed several times in several places that would seem fatal, and yet he survived.

I know it was a stabbing rather than gunshots, but it just reminded me of his hard to believe survival.

I don't even use guns when I'm playing Black Ops 2 (The only COD game I have). I just use the Riot Shield and pretend I'm Captain America. :)

Luckily for me, I got shocked out of really violent games early. I was watching my cousins play Mortal Kombat when I was like 5 and I it scarred me. In fact, I wasn't until I was 14 that I actually tried MK again, and really liked it. Even then, I still don't play many violent games, I mostly stick with platformers and fighting games and RPGs.

Adding on to what I said in my last post, there's a lot of military families, and people with friends, spouses, siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents who were in some military in some sort; more than you know. I'm sure such a game could peak the interest of those people, especially if they are gamers.

Yeah, I think the "dying" process could be something brutal, real, and yet beautiful (or brutally beautiful or beautifully brutal) that games under use. Some of the most beautiful moments in gaming is when a character dies, including in combat. In the Metal Gear franchise, many bosses you kill leave you feeling kinda sad, and some even really evoke emotion. I think such a negative yet positive thing is pretty beautiful, and it makes games better.

I bet if games like Call of Duty showed your character dying after getting shot slowly and in a sad, depressing, and painful fashion, quite a number of players would actively try to die a lot less often, and thus play it safe rather than just running through the middle of a battlefield like you got nothing to lose.

As a COD 3 player, I try to avoid running around in the middle of a battlefield, and play it more safe and strategic.

It would be interesting if they had a mechanic involving player wounds, like they could be visibly injured, and could be suffering in a way so that they would have difficulty moving around, jumping, and even seeing. This would make the game a lot more hardcore, violent, but also more a bit more emotional, realistic and interesting, requiring more strategy.

Of course, theres still people that would just love killing and rage about getting hurt like that, and/or not care about how other players have been damaged. (aside from worrying about their teams score) I feel it would be hard to change their point of view at this point.

Rumor has it that EVO has provided less than 16 TVs and even fewer console + Melee for the Smash tournament. If you are going to EVO this weekend, please bring a TV and console so the Smash community can run a Smash tournament. Below is Mew2King's plee for help:

"We need at least 4 more TVs (16 total) for Evo. If we don't have them before 7 AM tomorrow, Evo won't run Melee mr. wizard said.

If you can bring TVs please call MattDotZeb at 617 347 9686 or Matthew Zaborowski or tweet @mattdotzeb.

Bring cubes and TVs to Ballys Grand Ballroom

spread this around especially to VEGAS or California people since they are likely to have some.

WE ALSO need 9 more systems"

Odd... You're the first to complain about it. It doesn't lag at all for me. I tried accessing my first post of the page with my old laptop, the gifs are present and no lag is found.

Seriously?

I mean, this isn't that bad, (at least it shouldn't be, cubes and tvs should be relatively easy to find) but they hadn't thought of this sooner?

That's what I'm thinking. Talk about short notice.

They need 4 more TVs and 9 more Gamecubes, which doesn't sound like a lot, but they have to get them before 7 AM PST, sharp, today (I believe), or else they can't do EVO won't run melee.

I wonder how absolutely angry everyone would be if they don't meet the goal there.

At least Nintendo and copyright issues aren't related to this issue.

4 TV's and 9 GameCubes are easily there, judging by how people definitely brought them. The 7 AM sharp today is a different story.

It would be a riot, quite literally. It almost seems like sabotage on EVO's part, actually.

Yeah.
It's just really annoying how there is a possibility of Melee for EVO being canceled because they didn't put this notice out sooner.

Though in hindsight there's probably nothing to worry about assuming I didn't just jinx it.

According to Prog (aka the commentator for Melee at EVO), we already got the 16 cubes, TV's, etc. needed. Hopefully people still bring extras, though.

Yeah, severe wounds could be interesting; imagine if in a game you lost a leg, but you lived=??? You had to get amputated on the battlefield, and then, you could like only fight in a vehicle or by lying on your back. That would be pretty freaking unique.

Also, seeing your teammates dying slowly and dramatically is something that would be great to capture. I think that if there was say a "slow motion" shooter (where it goes in slow motion during key moments of the battle) that worked well, that in particular would capture the moment beautifully.

Impa.

Literally all four characters fight on top of Impa's unconscious body. Diddy Kong (the user) is a stage hazard as he swings his arms in a fit of rage she got in as a stage and not a part of the roster.
