mysterious frankie posted:I was actually kinda on Short Message’s side until the bit where you need to go through the maze interacting with objects to make the chains come off the door. The maze is hard to navigate, you have something like eight objects to find, you’re being pursued by a one hit kill monster, and if you die the chains reset. No thanks. 'Monster chases you through a maze' is the ultimate 'we have no idea what to do with this horror game' red flag, I'd have more respect if they just made it a walking sim.

i restarted yakuza 0 a few weeks ago, wanting to give it an honest go this time. i got past the first boss encounter and it's fun enough so far, but yeah i skipped a lot of cut scenes and don't feel like i missed much of anything. i watched/paid attention to like half of what was going on and i got the gist of it just let me get back to punching holy poo poo. e: then i bought re4 and just started playing that instead. i pick up a diary with three pages of lore/back story about the virus or plot and just mash x until it goes away. roundhouse kicking zombies > reading

One game series that surprisingly handles NPC dialogue well is Far Cry (the delivery of the dialog; I'm not endorsing the writing itself). You can choose to get a long-winded full speech or just a one sentence summary. And either way you can just run off and the dialog will complete over your radio

Sakurazuka posted:'Monster chases you through a maze' is the ultimate 'we have no idea what to do with this horror game' red flag, I'd have more respect if they just made it a walking sim. All they had to do was make progress on the door persistent between deaths. I’d wander around that stupid maze over and over again until I removed all the chains, even though the hallways look kind of samey and sometimes it’s hard to tell when I’m going or if I’m even moving down a halfway or walking against a wall in a dark corner. But then the last time I had two chains left when she killed me, resetting my progress, and that was it. I wasn’t curious enough to push on and see how the loose pile of well worn contrivances resolved.

I'm really looking forward to seeing whatever it is ND and Guerilla are doing. Feels a bit like my PS5 is gathering dust right now. Some big games coming in soon, but I'm in the mood for a big bombastic Sony game. Spider-Man 2 just didn't hit the spot for me and I'm not sure why. I love spidey and enjoyed it, but it was probably a bit too similar to the first one and hasn't pulled me back to swing around and take photos.

i'm currently watching tombstone for the first time today. 130 minutes i'll happily spend sitting on my couch watching a story unfold without prompting me for inputs. when it's time to game, i want to game. aka move a character or objects on screen and interact with the mechanics of said game. not sit there pressing x after every sentence to advance dialog.

looked up longest video game cutscenes ever 9. Legend Of Heroes: Trails Of Cold Steel 3 - 20 Minutes 8. Final Fantasy 7: Crisis Core - 23 Minutes 7. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 - 24 Minutes 6. Xenosaga - 25 Minutes 5. Kingdom Hearts 3 - 28 Minutes 4. Death Stranding - 31 Minutes 3. Yakuza 0 - 42 Minutes 2. Star Ocean: The Last Hope - 46 Minutes 1. Metal Gear Solid 4 - 71 Minutes loving christ at mgs4. i was young when i played it, so i'm sure i had more patience around when it came out. but there's almost no chance in hell i tolerate anywhere near that length these days at my age. edit: the last game i remember playing with a deep narrative where i wasn't bored was last of us 2. i think it helps that the cutscenes aren't all that long, and they incorporate a lot of narrative and storytelling while you're actually playing the game. the other most recent game with a lot of narrative was god of war ragnarok and while it had a decent narrative, the reliance on the no-cut camera really made you feel the strings attached to how they were trying to force you into storytelling mode. there are sections of that game that straight up allow you to "control" kratos while story is happening, but you can't take more than 4 steps away from the person who's talking and you can't turn around or do anything else. might as well be a cutscene!

ShoogaSlim posted:looked up longest video game cutscenes ever I beat the last boss of MGS4 at midnight on a school night. I was hosed. Actually I also beat Yakuza 0 at midnight on a work night and was similarly hosed. I don't know if I trust that list though. If the Crisis Core cutscene is the one I'm thinking of that has some gameplay segments half way through so I don't know if that counts as one continuous cutscene.

Xenosaga was the only game I played on that list and it definitely had a stretch that was waaay longer than 28 mins. I gave up out of sheer boredom.

There's a part in Xenosaga Ep. 1 that ends in a 15 min cutscene then you press start and the 25 minute cutscene happens immediately after, the list is probably only including uninterrupted cinematics if it's accurate at all.

The ones I have the hardest time getting through are the retro JRPGs with endless dialog that you read, and then press a button to go to the next sentence, and it just continues on forever.

You're gonna get about half to 3/4 of the way through when all the double crossing and the plot starts tipping into masterpiece territory, but you won't have a clue what's going on and you'll drop it. As fun as beating people up in these games is, the story has to hook you to be able to do it for 35 hours straight. The Yakuza games are a melodramatic TV series packed with mini games and fighting. Theyre better when you're half way between the mood for a TV show and maybe a bit of game. E: the ending of death stranding for me also fell a bit flat due to the length. I ended up saving on the black beach to leave it for the next day and then had 15 minutes left to play. If a game is going to hit a 90 minute to 2hr ending, the pause screen should tell you how long is left.

I don’t mind infinite cutscene hell but slow dialogue boxes absolutely kill me. I can genuinely read really loving fast so I’m not out here trying to just blindly mash my way back to the action, for fucks sake just let me max out that text speed and x my way through it you are torturing me to death with this slow scrolling bullshit.

Yeah it looks like it only counts zero activity stretches, not minimally interactive stretches where you can't make meaningful choices but do have to prompt the game to continue. I think the full end sequence of MGS4 is closer to 90 minutes with that in mind and there are probably JRPGs that are even longer

Yeah those numbers mist be like time between loading screens or something, XBC3 isn't even on there and it has a bit in the middle where you get a boss fight in the middle of two hours of cutscenes.

yakuza like a dragon is 11 bucks on psn and i was tempted to buy it bc im intrigued by the series. but these last few replies are making me a-ok with probably never bothering. there should be a distinction when posting/talking about games between enjoying one bc it's really satisfying to control mechanically (celeste, neon white, doom eternal) vs a game you enjoy bc you're swept up in the narrative (i have no examples bc i don't prefer games like this)
