GO WATCH A MOVIE 

Next up on Worth Reading: The other team should just fucking let me win when I play baseball. 

well this isn’t necessarily a bad point. there are games with great stories and really awful shoehorned fighting sequences. then you also have handicapped/disabled gamers who don’t necessarily have the dexterity to finish a game but would still like to be able to.
optional “cakewalk” modes aren’t that bad of an idea.

what if i want to just see the story of the game and dont want to actually play it? like??
as it is i would never pay for a bioshock game or a fallout game but i am very interested in the story. so i just watch youtube videos of it. they could get money from me if they sold the skip combat mode

i’m a games developer and an avid gamer and i really really think games should let you skip combat

honestly one of my favourite things about la noire was when you failed a sequence twice the game was like “yo do you just wanna skip this bit?”the gaming industry/community has a huge problem with accessibility tbh. like, thank god for standardised control schemes (although bring back full customisation jfc  not enough games have that anymore) but fights require time, literacy in both that type of gaming & in the individual game, you need to be able to navigate the system which can be anywhere from slightly difficult to hellish for people with visual/audio processing disorders. and tbh sometimes you just wanna enjoy the story and not get stressed the hell out doing the sAME FIGHT 700 times. it’s why i always put a game on easy/casual when I’m replaying unless  i’m specifically going for difficulty based achievements.not to mention SO MANY GAMES have either poorly designed battles or fights that have been shoved in for no reason other than to pad out the game (dxhr & da2 come to mind immediately) that sometimes it’d honestly improve the gameplay to just skip them altogether

Imagine if you were a gamer with arthritis or MS or some other disability that took away your ability to click buttons quickly, and every fight became as frustrating as THAT GODDAMN DA: ORIGINS OH FUCK I’M ON FIRE SLIDE PUZZLE. 
Yeah. Skipping combat might seem like a not bad idea then.

Mass Effect 3 has this:
[Screenshot from a Mass Effect 3 menu, with title: “Choose Your Experience”, showing the options ‘action’, ‘role playing’ and ‘story’.]
‘Action’ makes most story choices for you and conversations become straight up cutscenes. ‘Role playing’ is the default experience, both challenging gameplay and character/story building. And ‘story’ has the roleplaying but very easy combat, letting you breeze through it. (You also have a ‘casual’ difficulty setting that’s a bit more rewarding but still pretty easy.)
The thing about video games (particularly RPGs or in general games that allow you to explore or direct the story) is that the interactivity is what makes it different from movies or watching LPs on youtube. And I’ve played games that got FAR stronger emotional reactions out of me simply because I had to carry out the actions myself rather than just watching. And that experience should be more accessible.
Because SHOCKINGLY: games aren’t always about winning, or being good at it. It’s about having fun. This is kindergarten education here.

Yeah, it always baffles me when I see people react so negatively to a perfectly reasonable suggestion like this.
Why the hell shouldn’t games let you skip combat if you want to? Why shouldn’t there be a super-duper-easy-peasy mode for everything? No-one is gonna force YOU to play it like that if you don’t want to! Continue to be as hardcore as you like!
I just don’t understand the resistance at all. What we’re talking about is simply having more options for gamers. You’re adding something that would make games more accessible and fun for loads of new fans, and you’re not taking ANYTHING away from existing fans.
Like
do you
not want more people to enjoy these games?? Do you really hate the idea of other people having fun so much that you’ll rile against it even when it literally has no effect on you or your experience whatsoever?? Are you honestly that selfish??

I am *horrifically* bad at gaming, but it’s a genre that I’m intensely interested in and very desperately want to be more immersed in. I would HAPPILY buy so many more games if combat was a skippable option. 

Not to mention one of the best indie games out right now is pretty much telling you if you want the best ending, don’t fight.



Yeah, I hate the elitist mentality that only those ~*~*hardcore*~*~ enough should be allowed to enjoy video games. I mean, gaming should be an experience to be had and not just an obstacle to clear, right?Then again, my poor mental health situation and chronic pain+mobility issues on my right hand means that my gaming options are severely limited nowadays. So I’m all about making gaming accessible for everyone in the first place.Anyone who thinks gaming will be ruined by making it more accessible need to realize that they have already ruined gaming for many.



Anyone who thinks gaming will be ruined by making it more accessible need to realize that they have already ruined gaming for many.



I’ve had to stop playing certain games because all the button mashing aggravated my carpal tunnel pain, and I rage quit some because they had a super frustrating part that I could never get past. Games should be fun, not a test of endurance. At least, they should let you skip the difficult parts you are unable to do. They can still have a hardcore mode for people who enjoy a challenge. They would still get to brag about their accomplishments without preventing others from enjoying an otherwise fun game.



Unpopular opinion but just watch the game on youtube then? Why spend money when you don’t get the full experience? 

The different between watching and playing is
Watching you’re seeing someone’s experience
Playing you’re experiencing it
I watched a lot of gameplay and playing some of the games myself have a very different feels to it



Understandable but why waste money on a 70 bucks game if you cut out like 30 or 40 percent? That’s not worth it

I have to go 50/50 on that one because I tend to avoid fights in AC: 
Syndicate




Isn’t the whole point of AC to avoid fighting? Or did that change since Brotherhood? 


Syndicate is based on victorian era & there’s gangsI literally had to hide because I keep walking to area higher than my current level because of main story line


Goddammit AC. You had one job

please support motor crush, its a new comic with a black lesbian lead with lovely art style and an intricate plot about motorcycle lesbians & their rival gangs
POST A FUCKING COMIXOLOGY LINK
HERE
you get 140 pages (about 7 standard issues) for SIX BUCKS
you get it instantly in a comic you can read online. It’s like fucking Steam for comics.
The comic itself is made by the team responsible for New52 Batgirl (Babs Tarr, Cameron Steward, Brendan Fletcher) so if you liked their run on Batgirl* , you will like this book!
* - the one where Batgirl moves to Burnside, and during which Batgirl’s trans woman friend had a lesbian wedding

So a bit of an update because even I was confused on what was going on with the series at the moment
The comic didn’t sell enough to warrant single issues, so it’s been on a long hiatus since the middle of 2018.
But the good news is that it is still being produced in trade paperback format and it is coming back real real soon!
The next trade release is expected to be in July of this year and I cannot stress enough how important it is to preorder if you want the series to keep going, especially considering how it’s likely going to be stocked in even fewer stores due to its new format.
If you still need to be convinced on why you should pick it up, it has the following 
A cool future world about livestreamed entertainment
Motorcycle racing during the day with Illegal street racing at night
Black lesbian lead with a CANON GIRLFRIEND (who she’s trying to get back with when the story starts)
Extremely good art by Babs Tarr, who many Critical Role fans may recognize from Pub Draw!
Seriously, I can’t state enough that the black lesbian lead isn’t just queerbaiting or some kind of doomed scenario
So what are you waiting for?
You can preorder Volume 3 on Amazon HERE
And if you still haven’t read this amazingly cool street racing mindfuck of a series

IT IS ALL ON SALE RIGHT NOW! (4/10/2019) AND YOU CAN GET THE FIRST TRADE PAPERBACK FOR FOUR FUCKING DOLLARS AND THE WHOLE SERIES FOR ABOUT TWELVE

    gangs: rapid-artwork
 Movie Pitch
 A strict all girls boarding school is across a river
 from a strict all boys boarding school
 Boys and girls are forbidden from fraternizing,
 but they find sneaky ways to form friendships
 and even date. I assume there is heavily
 monitored internet and phones are for
 emergencies only so they have to resort to
 more unconventional methods of
 communication. (Messages in bottles, a system
 of mirrors, writing on chalkboards and putting
 them in the windows ect.ect.)
 Until one day a shy boy at the boys boarding
 school tells his best friend (and the leader of a
 resident well meaning bovs gang) that he
 actually feels more like a girl
 The gang leader contacts the leader of a girl
 gang across the river and they begin to plan an
 overly elobrate heist to smuggle the shy trans
 girl across the river in exchange for a chill
 tomboy and the two will assume each other's
 lives until they graduate.
 Hijinks ensue as they pull a 'Great-Esacpe'
 style mission to avoid detection from the overly
 strict headmasters and an overly passionate
 team of campus security guards.
 Friendships are tested, there is lots of home
 alone style logic to outsmart the adults, and
 there is romantic tension between the leaders
 of the gangs as they put aside their differences
 to help their two friends find a place to be
 themselves. It is light-hearted in tone but is
 also over the top and everyone plays it way too
 serious to the point of comedy. The two kids
 swapping places have classic "parent trap"
 style hijinks pretending to be the other person
 and avoid detection.
 Think "kids next door""recess" but shot like
 a heist movie.
 Add a funny character actor as a dopey but
 well meaning janitor and you got a stew going.

 Boys and girls are forbidden from fraternizing,
 but they find sneaky ways to form friendships
 and even date. I assume there is heavily
 monitored internet and phones are for
 emergencies only so they have to resort to
 more unconventional methods of
 communication. (Messages in bottles, a system
 of mirrors, writing on chalkboards and putting
 them in the windows ect.ect.)
 Until one day a shy boy at the boys boarding
 school tells his best friend (and the leader of a
 resident well meaning bovs gang) that he
 actually feels more like a girl
 The gang leader contacts the leader of a girl
 gang across the river and they begin to plan an
 overly elobrate heist to smuggle the shy trans
 girl across the river in exchange for a chill
 tomboy and the two will assume each other's
 lives until they graduate.
 Hijinks ensue as they pull a 'Great-Esacpe'
 style mission to avoid detection from the overly
 strict headmasters and an overly passionate
 team of campus security guards.
 Friendships are tested, there is lots of home
 alone style logic to outsmart the adults, and
 there is romantic tension between the leaders
 of the gangs as they put aside their differences
 to help their two friends find a place to be
 themselves. It is light-hearted in tone but is
 also over the top and everyone plays it way too
 serious to the point of comedy. The two kids
 swapping places have classic "parent trap"
 style hijinks pretending to be the other person
 and avoid detection.
 Think "kids next door""recess" but shot like
 a heist movie.
 Add a funny character actor as a dopey but
 well meaning janitor and you got a stew going.
