speaking of game design for people who don't actually like to play games, i'm kind of surprised mortal kombat x didn't go the heavy rain route, where you initiate the fatality, then it's like "Press X!" and it freezes the torso, "hold L+R!!!" to wind-up your punch, and "TAP TRIANGLE!!!!" to shatter the frozen body in half or whatever.

they did that in the single player mode for Injustice, so it'll probably show up in MK's story mode as well. it's too much of a flow-breaker in a multiplayer game, I think

oh, i just mean for the fatality, nothing else

OTOH fatalities always had a tenuous relationship to 'gaming' even while being wildly popular. You either know the button sequence or not, and they don't affect outcomes. As it's not 1993 anymore, it's not like they can even be secret lore, Adding training wheels for them just lays this bare, no?

the whole "paying for cheat codes" thing is still kinda indefensible, especially where where you are literally saving seconds of gameplay time
― Nhex, Tuesday, 14 April 2015 20:24 (nine years ago) link
But not seconds that you could be using, if I'm right? I never played MK, but I thought that Fatalities are something that only happens at the end, when you've won - either you win the the normal way or you win in a Really Cool way?

i remember before the internet when you could dial up expensive phone lines to get cheat codes etc so hey

so you play to a crowd that actively hates you when you do "take me to church" i am feeling thisi'm sure this is gonna be like the number one thing people use oculus rift forvideo game spotify is interesting; does it procedurally generate?

wait, so does the game actually use FMV? for real?the spotify-style music video mode is basically how music games that were too lazy to actually do new animations or 3D went (Singstar, etc). it's nice, I guess

just reading about MYFAROG, the roleplaying game designed by Varg Vikernes http://myfarog.org/
it's different from D&D because it is "based on European values, geography, (pre-) history, mythology, traditions and morals, and will offer you the opportunity to play a game in accordance with your own European nature."and"I don’t base anything on Christian misinterpretations of old European «ideas», «creatures» or «spirits», so there are no goblins, hobgoblins, orcs or other creatures based on the perverse Christian demonisation of the Pagan ancestral cult."
oh Vargpaws.

From when they thought it a good idea to shoot FMV for a Mortal Kombat sidegame:

So awesome. The FMV era is incredible, I would love to have a video series showing FMV game intros and stuff. It is the 90s version of 60s low budget monster movies.

A character controlled by a hacker who used exploits to dominate online game Guild Wars 2 has been put to death in the virtual world.
The character, called DarkSide, was stripped then forced to leap to their death from a high bridge.
