MGS4 is so soul savingly masterpiece material, but nothing is for everyone, divisive art by a maestro hell yes. "At one point, Metal Gear Solid 4 also held two different Guinness World Records for the length of its cutscenes; the longest cutscene at 27 minutes and the longest sequence of cutscenes at 71 minutes." I'd love a bonus 90 min Hideo movie at the end of any game, but for the record I guess the longest direct chunk is 27 mins in that? I haven't measured it like the Guinness gang.

History Comes Inside! posted:I don’t mind infinite cutscene hell but slow dialogue boxes absolutely kill me. Part of this is how small the dialogue boxes are. Give it to me like a Bendis comic and take up the whole right side of the screen with it. If I don't want to read it I'll skip a huge chunk in one go but if I want to read it I can at my own pace without mashing buttons. Nobody wants to read a novel tapping buttons after each sentence.

the new YLAD actually does realize how ridiculously their cutscene lengths get because in the middle of like a 10+ minute cutscene the character will go "What do you think, Ichiban?" and then even though you're in a small room and can't leave or do anything but talk to them you can say "Hold on." and then take a moment to save before launching into the next 10+ minute scene so they still have the same "gently caress you, watch our movie" mentality but they've at least learned to give you a couple breaks in there lol

mysterious frankie posted:The 8 series is good, but I’m also in the “wish I had waited” camp. Partially because a month after spending money on it during Covid I got laid off so I sort of felt like a major rear end in a top hat for a while whenever I looked at it, and partially because I started making more money with the next job and the OLEDs are insane, but not enough money that I’ll just throw away a working tv because a different tv looks neat. It works fine, but I secretly wish it would tip off the entertainment center and break so my hand was forced. I’d like an OLED too but knowing me I’d just be too careful with burn in all the time. Mr Hootington posted:Oof. I'm skipping it. I don't really enjoy team ninja games. I think the combat in their games is always incredible but everything else lags behind. This seems like their attempt to have more than just good combat but we’ll see, it’s their also first attempt at an open world from what I know.

ShoogaSlim posted: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. Once you're woken up by a hobo the cutscenes calm down for a good while so if that's all that's keeping you from playing LAD then just watch them on YouTube or something where you have finer control over them than just To Skip or Not to Skip.

Genuinely, the battles are what I want to skip in 7 (and I assume 8). I want a GameShark for insta win battles and no more RPG grind, though there is auto battle. For whatever reason I like the beat em up combat more, but actually I do want an interactive movie / adventure game of talking to people most in these new Like a Dragons. The cutscenes are absolutely the best part of the game, including the side quest funny bits too. For the record I do play Street Fighter 6, so I like things other than cutscenes in games too.

Job set = the 2 DLC jobs Crafting Mat set = stuff for crafting weapons Management set = extra staff to use in the management minigame that makes it even easier Karaoke set = extra karaoke songs Costume set = more costumes, just cosmetics. Stat boost set = some drinks to give you +1 in HP, MP, etc. Useful but not gamebreaking.

Really enjoying the Infinite Wealth cutscenes, but I'm in Chapter 4 (or maybe Chapter 3?) now and just want more A plot instead of getting constantly peppered by substories every 5 steps. Give me more cutscenes

I’ve heard rumors that the 2024 A95Ls are switching to Mini LED, which would help prevent burn in, but isn’t the image quality on OLED supposed to be markedly better? Those tvs are Sony’s flagship model and pricey as poo poo, so I imagine they gotta be working some miracles here with the technology, or the rumor is bunk.

I actually do appreciate how much Infinite Wealth goes "hey if you trigger the next thing you're going to get railroaded into something for a long loving time." And yeah measuring the time of cutscenes is weird when you consider how many games have a thing where it's broken up by having your character walk to the next checkpoint but you don't actually have the ability to do anything else so there isn't really a meaningful difference if it had been made into a single giant cutscene. I think in Death Stranding 1, from the point you're past the last point in the game where you're actually in danger to the time the credits finish rolling, it's something like 2 hours.

I did make a handy shortcut to turn off the screen via the remote when I leave the room for any extended period of time (TV is still on and making sound, just no image), but this probably gets countered by all the times I’ve accidentally fallen asleep with a game up in my more excessive edible using days

the LG CX and newer models have a bunch of little features to reduce burn-in risk. you don't want to play the same game for 1000+ hours on one or anything but for general use they should last about as long as any other flatscreen

I haven’t posted in a long time but that Death Stranding 2 trailer is unbelievably good. Death Stranding is one of my all time favorite games. Sincerely, Top 5, for sure. I’ve played through it two times; the first was 70 hours and the second I five star’d every prepper and did everything I could do and it was over 100. And I’d do it all over again in a heart beat. I was legitimately sad to break away from that family of characters. I am kind of amazed Stellar Blade would do the hyper bouncy jug boobs in TYOL 2024. It’s absurd. The physics simulation they’re using is, “simulate a pound of water sloshing around in a ziploc bag on the ISS.” The whole thing is lazy. They should consider focusing on improving the plot, the gameplay/combat, maybe differentiating it at least a bit from Devil May Cry. If they did even one of those competently they could tone down the jug jiggle and still hit the sale numbers they’re aiming for. In fact, I’d go so far as to say nobody should pre-order Stellar Blade until the reviews are out. Needing hyper jiggle wiggle wiggle is dictation enough the game sorely lacks substance. Comparatively, I’m playing Cyberpunk 2077 right now (phenomenal game now, DLC is great, I can’t get enough of the nooks and crannies of the city) and Panam’s breasts move so little the physics might as well be simulating a stack of printer paper. And that game’s sold millions of copies. Because it’s got it where it counts. It makes you think, maybe sex doesn’t sell anymore.

I have an OLED monitor and it got a minor case of burn-in where the taskbar buttons were sitting stationary all the time for like a year. I auto-hide the taskbar now and other than that I haven't seen any real evidence of burn-in. I don't even notice the burn-in that is there except on solid spans of specific colors (like a dark greyish-purple, first noticed it in the driving cutscenes in Alan Wake 2). It does suck that it's an issue but the quality and contrast is so good that I barely even care. It's something I will put up with. I also just recently got a LG C2 and considering how much less I use the TV with stationary elements on it, I have basically zero worry about burn-in there.

It was one of the first things I made note of when I had both to compare. Wireless telephony sounds like absolute poo poo in comparison to how crisp calls used to be on good infrastructure, even long distance. Don't get me started on how poo poo the digital switch was for broadcast television, which used to be largely watchable even with poor signal and a bit of static. Finally, rotary phones rule and are the Dark Souls of phones.
