Oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that Yahtzee was the Pope of Gaming.

And if you're calling the stealth in 2033 reliable, well, I can't argue. It was reliably shitty.

But you know what's funny? I don't even care about TLOU all that much. It was a nice game, nice enough to replay a couple times, but you're throwing a screaming fit because I like a game you don't and I don't like the stealth in Metro -- a series I actually ALSO like, in spite of its glaring flaws. All this started because it occurred to me that Herpy seems to run into ALL the bugs, and I couldn't help but wonder how much of those bugs weren't just PEBCAC.

Ah yes the old internet "screaming fit."

I made you mad so I win!!!

And Herpy's wrong about them being bugs IMO, it's bad game design. I mean if you're casting PEBCAC aspersions about TLOU I seriously have to cast them about Metro because a five year old could beat some of those stealth sections by just switching off the lightbulbs.

Go ahead and pretend that your ALLCAPS TANTRUMS aren't a screaming fit and are actually cutting rhetorical victories on your part, you clearly need this more than I do.

Anyway, I dunno man, that stairwell in Frontline is just bullshit. Lights off, me in the back, not moving, they'd still rush into the stairwell and perforate me. Stealth was more of a luck-based puzzle than anything else.

Haven't had a chance to play Redux, though, so maybe they fixed it.

Yeah my typing words whilst holding down the shift key are about as much tantrums as your epic refusal to leave despite having made the "I'm done here" pronouncement like half an hour ago because you.... must... respond!... is.

I bought Redux but I'm stuck out on a field course (hence the phone) with fuck all time to play it. I get leave in June so I'll tell you what they changed if you're interested.

I never actually flounced out of the discussion, though? I just said I was done having that particular discussion. You're the one who keeps bringing it up.

Anyway, please do? Though I'll probably be playing it myself sometime later this year.

Hahah you did literally say "I'm done" so stop trying to weasel out of it I'm not going to let you back down you said it arghlebargle--

Do you see how fucking annoying that is?

I mean I know what you actually meant because I can read words and also infer and also later read your other words reasonably explaining those words so I don't have to stick to that singular mistaken interpretation, but. Like. You said you were done, man. Literally. Done.

Blah blah internet argument bullshit aside I will. I know fuck all other people who like the Metro games aside from Herp and he didn't like 2033 which I thought was mechanically weaker but thematically/atmospherically superior to MLL. It was also genuinely scary as fuck, which MLL lacked for the most part. The first time I saw a Librarian I just about shit myself.

The library is just about one of the best parts of that game! I also very much enjoyed the MLL DLC featuring librarians.
