The GDC channel is one great resource for interesting talks regarding game design.
Do you know that Arctic Monkeys song - Do I Wanna Know ? Pretty much sums up everything going on in this thread.

That was a moment of vulnerability where she opened up towards you. If you didn't catch onto that.. well, too bad. Maybe we should write some articles on mapcore about it 
I hear you on that one about Tinder, but I'm still waiting to give it a go once spring hits. It's gonna be amusing.

Sprony is probably searching through his pirate vhs chest to lock the thread yet again.
As much as I like black & white opinions, reality is more grey. It's true that Valve didn't come up with the core concept for games like Portal, L4D or Dota 2, but they nonetheless shaped the games into what they are today. For all we know, Portal might have remained as Narbacular Drop if it wasn't for Valve. To say they didn't play any part in development is unfair. It's like saying that the F1 sponsors and teams don't do anything, because it's the drivers that win the races.
Hope you guys are hungry

@El Moroes I started watching True Detective today. Guess what scene came up
Don't forget Team Fortress 2 and its transition to f2p hat simulator.

If you didn't feel awful you'd do something unproductive in celebration of your good health.

CTs are able to get into defending positions way earlier than the Ts are on the sites and the routes are pretty sniper heavy + you can smoke / molotov of every entrances on the sites
That's not a bad thing. Not every map has to have the exact same timings or number paths/entrances.

inferno and aztec(I just dropped the mic with that one, but I really appreciate aztec's compact and simple layout)
Quote from FMPONE34 minutes ago, FMPONE said: Subzero is pretty strange, have you played it?
Yes, I liked the terrorist mid entry and bangable wall section on one of the bombsites, but it's not strange enough.
@FMPONE when are you going to try some non-4leafclover layouts?
The trailer is out and I heard Carpenter Brut in there. I wonder if it's just the trailer or if he has pieces for the episodes as well.
I finished Far Cry 4's main story a couple of days ago, but I still have some side quests and two dlcs left to complete. While the story was more elaborate than in previous games, I didn't find it that convincing. Though, I liked how the relationship between Amita, Sabal and Ajay evolves throughout the game. That was one of the better parts of the narrative. As for gameplay, it's pretty much what you'd expect from a Far Cry game: run and gun bad guys with some poaching on the side. It's fun to blow up your enemies with a grenade launcher while you pilot "the bad ass mini chopper". The freedom of movement certainly adds to that experience, but I've found out that there can be too much of that. The game will have you traverse the world from top to bottom again and again. It's true that you can have fun on the way, but the environment is just more of the same, with very few memorable locations, and after a while it just wears out. Hence why there are quick travel locations and auto driving.. I'm not a fan of those as I've seen games that manage to do well without them - like the stalker series for instance. Oh yeah, I absolutely hated the eagles. They're on my list among the kleers and creepers. Overall, the game has it's moments and you can have fun unloading your weapons, but I feel like it's trying to be grander than it is. You could probably cut the world in half, condense the story and have a more memorable experience.
