you can talk about how in dark souls, i suck at the game because i got myself killed by the giant monster in the tutorial a bunch of times before i figured out that you were actually supposed to run away from it (which goes against all my gaming sensibilities)
i would argue that the game failed to convey what i had to do properly there's a message below the monster's feet that instructs you to run away, and that's your only hint--and the only way to see the message is if you go near the fucking thing, which will result in your swift death soooooooo 40102

to tie this discussion back to fighting games
daigo umehara is widely cited as one of the best street fighter players in the world if you lose to daigo, someone who knows the game inside and out, that doesn't mean you suck at the game he's just really good at the game, and you are not as good "suck" is just... i don't know, it technically means the same thing, but generally speaking, i'm just not a fan of putting down players for simply not knowing as much as i do about how a game works or not having the dexterity/reaction times/etc. required to play a fighting game at a high level 40103
Gaming / Re: Favorite Fighter Game?« on: April 18, 2015, 10:15:17 AM »
my opinion is that you can't really be "bad" at video games
you can only be "better" or "worse"--relative terms everyone plays differently, everyone learns differently, and so everyone is going to have their own unique experience creating this notion of "suck" only serves to create a negative atmosphere, which is probably not a great plan maybe "bad" means "worse than the majority of players", but that's sort of difficult to measure, so we just sort of casually toss it around to describe players who have a hard time doing X, which is a petty standard "i did X on my firs try, so anyone who can't do X on their first try sucks" 40104

Gaming / Re: So Cortana's death scene« on: April 18, 2015, 09:49:00 AM »She's not even actually naked though.if they could've gotten away with her having nipples and a visible labia, they certainly would have but that would be too overt--it would be extremely dangerous and controversial to do that so they made her as visually lewd as possible without being overtly contentious Quote There doesn't need to be a reason for her being "naked".there actually is an answer to that, though nudity in renaissance-era art was often used as a way to convey that a particular figure is, in at least some respects, inhuman (that is to say, they're heroes/gods/demigods--they were more than human) for example, aphrodite is always depicted as nude because she's a goddess, and is above such earthly things such as clothing david was a biblical hero, and heroes, by their very nature, transcend the quotidian functions of man--and thus, michelangelo sculpted him in the nude, to show that he's a more perfect/virtuous being than the average man it would be silly to argue that we do the same thing today, in the hypersexualized, hyperconscious culture of the now 40106
