Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports).

"Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • No game or product giveaway of any kind

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:
    [Player 1 wins](/spoiler "Pong")
    Result:
    Player 1 wins

  • Report posts containing spoilers not using the above method

  • Don't post users' personal information.

Submission Rules

Is your post not showing up? Do not delete it. Wait 5 minutes to give AutoModerator a chance to look at it; it approves most submissions automatically. If it hasn't shown up after more than 5 minutes, simply message the moderators and ask us to let it through.

Water, water never changes. -an original FPS.

But... RPGs aren't FPSes.

[–]Canker17 8 points9 points ago

but its both.. anyways, what is borderlands to you then?

[–]NiteShadeX2 9 points10 points ago

Wait what?

Originally its from Fallout (1 or 2, cant recall). It was also a pretty popular quote for MW1 & 2, and its been used in a bunch of games.

[–]Lansan1ty 5 points6 points ago

It's originally from Fallout 1, was then used in every following Fallout. It started as a VERY popular RPG, not as an FPS.

That's like saying the popular RTS franchise Halo. Even though Halo had an RTS, it's not an RTS franchise. Fallout was always an RPG, eventually transitioning into a first-person RPG (unfortunately; not because they were bad, I just want another high-budget isometric RPG). It's overarching genre is, and will forever be RPG.

[–]NiteShadeX2 0 points1 point ago

Cankers comment. "But its both." Makes me think he thinks Fallout is an FPS, which only holds true for 3 + NV (and that one terrible shooter on PS2). The originals were isometic based rpgs.

As for your prattling on, its both unnecessary and painfully obvious information.

[–]Canker17 0 points1 point ago

Alright. its both currently. i have the classic games, im not that bad at fallout.

[–]Gman1012 0 points1 point ago

Wasteland 2 might fill that need for you when it comes out.

[–]TheBartlett127 0 points1 point ago

No... no it isn't.

[–]wadad17 1 point2 points ago

RPS?

[–]Spruce_Bringsteen 0 points1 point ago

The camera's first person and you shoot stuff.

[–]Lansan1ty 5 points6 points ago

Not in the 1st two, where the quote originates from.

[–]LolFishFail 22 points23 points ago

Correction:

Blizzard - Requires constant flow of water to drink from glass at all times.

[–]Canardlaquay 12 points13 points ago

Where's Peter Molyneux ? "This glass is a brand new, open and wide world including unique quests."

[–]NiteShadeX2 10 points11 points ago

No no, it would be. "Our water is full of amazing, new innovative features just waiting for you."

[–]torbeindallas 11 points12 points ago

"You can do anything with the glass, the possibilities are endless."

[–]NiteShadeX2 6 points7 points ago

You win.

[–]S7evyn 0 points1 point ago

Glass ships, has a hole in the bottom.

[–]kebab4you 0 points1 point ago

"Drop a seed in it and a few months later a tree will be there - full of choices!"

[–]fart_bubblez 2 points3 points ago

More like Peter Molyneux: This ocean I'm developing will let you do anything you like. Its going to have fish and sharks and whales and boats. You will be able to do anything in this ocean that you can do in real life. If you want to kill the sharks, you can do that. If you want to marry a shark and have little shark babies, you can do that too. You will see the ocean grow and change before your eyes as you progress through the story.

[–]spgtothemax 10 points11 points ago

Read the Todd Howard one in his voice.

[–]Triplebypasses 4 points5 points ago

I don't know why but that one made me laugh the most.

[–]JusticeBlood 0 points1 point ago

"The water is not the main character, the glass is"

[–]reidhasguitar 1 point2 points ago

He is one fantastic guy. I could listen to him talk about the industry for hours.

[–]spgtothemax 0 points1 point ago

I always liked his talks.

[–]reidhasguitar 1 point2 points ago

I wish there were more. He puts into words a lot of things that I can't, and introduces new ideas to me that are really great. If my dreams come true, I'll be working under him one day.

[–]cowpunter 20 points21 points ago

EA:

Glass comes empty, if you want it half filled with water you have to get Glass: Digital Deluxe Edition for $79.99. If you want the rest of the water you have to purchase Glass: Premium for $49.99. You can also order Glass: Ultimate Shortcut Bundle and use Straw* from day one for $19.99.

*straw requires Glass: Premium or the Glass: Straw DLC for $14.99

[–]lurebat 7 points8 points ago

"I just payed you tons of money, and i'm about to die of dehydration, then why the hell did you brought me an empty glass of water"

"Stop being such an entitled drinker"

[–]Canker17 11 points12 points ago

Epic fallout reference there.

[–]thelawnz 8 points9 points ago

Would be better if it were rpg instead of fps.

[–]ivoffee 17 points18 points ago

Microsoft: Water. Drinking requires Kinect.

[–]Cheimon 11 points12 points ago

No no no...it's:

water: BETTER WITH KINECT FOR XBOX360!!!

[–]ragevvorks[S] 16 points17 points ago

CD Projekt: Just help yourself to another full glass, on us.

[–]evilmarc 1 point2 points ago

*CD Projekt: Just help yourself to another full glass, on us, please don't hate us, please don't hate us.

[–]fake_madrid 8 points9 points ago

Reddit: "Refill!"

[–]revv4 4 points5 points ago

Kickstarter: Pay now and your drink may or may not be available by next year.

[–]qgag 3 points4 points ago

I think the Bethesda one is very inspiring.

[–]senics 2 points3 points ago

Rename the topic line so it says "GabeN" and it would appear on the front page.

[–]ivoffee 4 points5 points ago

Maxis: welcome to SimWater, where you control a drinking water company.

Zynga: welcome to WaterVille, a unique water-company simulation. Nothing to do with SimWater.

[–]not-a-penguin 5 points6 points ago

rip GSC

[–]Greg636 2 points3 points ago

They were a good studio, let's drink to them once more.

[–]a_posh_trophy 1 point2 points ago

Activision (edit): Half now and 3-monthly installments of 10ml for the next 3 years at the low,low price of 1200MSP.

[–]viceroyofmontecristo 1 point2 points ago

Capcom: Hey, what do you consumers want in your glass? Oh, ok, we'll give you that then. OH JUST KIDDING YOU DON'T EVEN GET THAT.

YOU WANT MEGA MAN LEGENDS 3 SO BAD MAKE IT YOURSELF

[–]AmorosoMarcos -1 points0 points ago

You see this comment? You can climb it.

[–]Cheimon -1 points0 points ago

Hilarious. Good stuff, ragevvorks.

[–]castellar 1 point2 points ago

Well, I just spent three minutes making a 'lililililili' noise

[–]Greg636 0 points1 point ago

The Obsidian one is spot on.

[–]XypherFTW 1 point2 points ago

GLaDOS: That glass is only half full. But at least it wasn't adopted. Like SOMEONE else...

[–]Triplebypasses 1 point2 points ago

It's half full because I'm on a diet. I think you should go on a diet, too. You put on some pounds while comatose (or whatever it was).

[–]Kilkun 1 point2 points ago

An isometric RPG said that before an FPS said that.

[–]RxMario 1 point2 points ago

"Ours is filled with soda"

-Independent studios

[–]thatoneshorty 0 points1 point ago

Maxis: Here's water, but you can only drink it from this glass.

[–]videogamefool11 1 point2 points ago

EA: If someone has previously owned the water you must pay extra

[–]Genoard 0 points1 point ago

Bethesda is very accurate

[–]starktor 1 point2 points ago

Blizzard could not be summed up any better then "We added a straw to appeal to a larger audience." So true.

[–]fart_bubblez 2 points3 points ago

We removed half the water because we found that casual players found it confusing. We've also determined that the extra water was just getting in the way of the story. And to drink this water, you will need at least a 3Mbps internet connections. And if you don't want the water to disappear, you must pay us 6.99 for an authenticator.

[–]BigPrisk 0 points1 point ago

You see that glass? You can climb it.

Todd Howard I love you.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Gamestop: Preorder now to get early access to Half of the Cup DLC.

EA: This water requires an online pass to consume.

Casey Hudson: the glass is the work of an entire team. We are pleased with the end result. Artistic integrity.

Capcom: the glass contains secret water that requires an additional fee to unlock. In 4 months time, we will be releasing a Super version of the glass of water with additional water.

[–]sumphatguy 0 points1 point ago

I don't fully understand the Anti-piracy one. Can someone explain?

[–]Dereliction 1 point2 points ago

You wouldn't steal a ...

[–]reidhasguitar 0 points1 point ago

I remember this.

[–]arahman81 0 points1 point ago

If the optimist says the glass is half full, and the pessimist says the glass is half empty, the physicist ducks.

[–]CrayonOfDoom 0 points1 point ago

Mathematician: The water level is approximately half as tall as the height of the glass. However, the glass is by no means half full due to the increased volumetric size of the upper half of the glass.

[–]wadad17 0 points1 point ago

Actually hasn't been a lot of Day 1 DLC from Activision.

[–]Tarpo76 1 point2 points ago

The Zynga glass comes out 6 months after the original one.. its almost exactly the same except the glass is opaque and the water is tinged brown.. and before you drink it you need to ask 25 facebook friends to help you lift the glass.

[–]SpagettInTraining 0 points1 point ago

Fuck you, i would download rain if I could.

[–]pancakehiatt 0 points1 point ago

Cup is filling. You have to sit here and wait for it to fill. -Source Engine

[–]pancakehiatt 0 points1 point ago

We'll fill it faster than you can drink it. -Mojang

[–]pancakehiatt 0 points1 point ago

Nintendo's water has flavoring. So we put dirt in ours to flavor it. -Sony

[–]pancakehiatt 0 points1 point ago

The water cannot be drunk because the cup is not under the spout. -Steam

[–]pancakehiatt 0 points1 point ago

The water is filling. You may not drink other water while the water is filling. -Xbox Live

[–]pancakehiatt 0 points1 point ago

You need Cup Lid+ to drink the water. -Nintendo

[–]MrImmoli -1 points0 points ago

I've never understood the whole pessimists say the glass is half empty, optimists say the glass is half full thing. I mean, isn't the point of the saying to be "You can look at something in more than one way," and yet if someone says "The glass is half full," there is only one way to look at it, they are an optimist.

What if the person is saying "Ugh, the glass is only half full," that doesn't sound very optimistic. At the same time if someone says "Hey, at least only half is gone," they don't sound pretty pessimistic.

On-topic: Kinda laughed at some of them. IGN's seemed to be the best.

I think that'd be helium, not hydrogen.

edit:

he's written out hydrogen 2+ not dihydrogen (it'd be a subscript). Hydrogen has one proton, so it can't be an ion with a charge of plus one. It'd have to have an extra proton, making it a helium isotope.

[–]power_of_friendship 0 points1 point ago

Nope, you're bad at notation.

[–]mavvv 0 points1 point ago

You can't subscript on reddit.

It's just a word thing anyways. I realize you can't just attach the hydrogens.

[–]power_of_friendship 0 points1 point ago

Not my problem. The joke was poorly made--why would a pawnshop buy a glass of water for one hydrogen. That makes no sense.

[–]8biticon 1 point2 points ago

Oh......
