What was that one game that was trying really hard to be Gears and you were a huge dude who could throw a small magical lady at people, that was my favorite "we need to appeal to the stupid Americans" one

RareAcumen posted:Oh cool, a specific game got mentioned. Can someone be specific about what other games count as westernized, I have no idea if this means Metal Wolf Chaos or Binary Domain or what.

In addition, Paula was originally designed as a little girl living in Garcia's gun that would hop around like a rabbit or flutter like a butterfly when her ability is needed; and this would lead to a prominent love story. Again, EA had these features removed because they did not understand the concept. EA informed Grasshopper that "there's this thing called an elevator pitch in America, and if you can't tell your story in the length of an elevator ride, Hollywood won't use it."

I'm sure blow blames soulja boy and everyone else but he's his own worst enemy, like why would you make a game perfect for listening to podcasts or watching stuff while you solve chill puzzles, then make a bunch of them auditory bs nobody likes

Alaois posted:somehow, against all chances, Edmund McMillen was the most normal person featured in Indie Game: The Movie I’ve never got the impression that he’s bought into the auteur thing and that saved him. He just likes games. The other 2 people in that movie are high on their own supply and it kind of reflects based on how much more interview bits they have talking about themselves self importantly.

Sydin posted:Yeah there's often times this sort of default stance taken that all cut content was cut for time/resource reasons and would have made it to release without those constraints, when in reality a lot of stuff gets cut because it wasn't fun, or the devs changed their minds/found what they felt was a better way to do it, etc. I'll definitely check the mod out for putting the warthog run back into High Charity. "Not a very original plan, but we know it'll work." Warthog runs are fun. Xperia is definitely one of those "Bungie were geniuses" types where every idea they ever spun was solid gold when that has never, ever been true about the company especially when it comes to Halo games.

DEEP STATE PLOT posted:jon blow has poo poo opinions about basically everything The Witness has got good puzzles and a pretty environment and that's all most people want out of a puzzle game. If you just play through enough to reach the first ending then I don't see any reason why you wouldn't consider it a real good puzzle game that has some annoying bits you can easily ignore. The fact that the artistic message of the game is "this is a waste of time, gently caress you, watch my favorite art snob movies and develop some loving taste, double gently caress you if you're a completionist" is something that most players won't even see outside a youtube analysis video. Maybe I have a better opinion of it because I played it before Myst, and so I didn't compare the two. I can see how it would be disappointing to go in expecting a Myst style narrative and ending up with that poo poo. Everything about the island is doing it's best to remind you of Myst so I wouldn't say that's an unfair expectation either.

Johnathan Blow's efforts to force gamers to engage with some actual culture is righteous but he's an odious creep so gently caress'em.

IShallRiseAgain posted:People Make Games made a video about murder games that have become really popular in China https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_dlxbGUNNQ So this is like a combo between those "board" games for super fans of True Crime and escape rooms. I bought one of those game for my Fiance to play with her roommates back in Covid and they loved it. I'd be far more interested in playing one of these than going to a standard escape room to just solve a series of "baby's first logic puzzle" with a veneer of theming.
