I said come in! posted:*laughs in Persona 5 levels of waiting after first announcement* Yeah, for real, but similar to FROM titles I just feel like Persona as a series has enough inbuilt clout to benefit from an extended hype-cycle as passive marketing.

Haptical Sales Slut posted:w/r/t Steller Blade controversy, why don't the dev's just include the ability to swap out the skin tight sexy girl with a 50 yr old with a beer gut? Who wouldn't want to crush insane combos with jiggle physics on the fat dudes stomach? Taking out the fatass goon skin is a move that has been known to destroy even the most renowned studios. The canary in the coalmine for Naughty Dog's downward spiral was when they removed Donut Drake, so let that be a lesson to aspirant devs looking to gently caress around and find out.

Bugblatter posted:You know, maybe not. I don’t really read much gaming press myself at all. The react video thumbnails might have given me a false impression. Maybe internationally it is just IGN and the normal reset/neogaf weirdos bickering? I don't think there's even any bickering, it's all gamergate types talking to each other. What you're seeing on youtube is just creators chasing outrage views from an audience that has seized on a particular topic. Key takeaway from gamergate 1: there's no rationally analyzing that community's output. The crux of the problem is that people can organize online, create their own funhouse mirror version of reality in isolation, and then force that reality onto everyone else. You have to become an incel anthropologist to parse anything they say, or ignore it entirely. That last option is great, as long as you aren't targeted by a harassment campaign and don't care about anyone who is. And as long as you don't mind becoming increasingly ignorant and bewildered as this model keeps spreading through culture. Like change a couple proper nouns and I could be talking about QAnon. You can't have a deep understanding of Jan 6 without knowing what WWG1WGA means, and that's just how things are now.

You know, if SB actually had a naked fat man mode with the same jiggle physics, I’d absolutely buy it. That sounds hilarious. Maybe it’s a bit regressive of me, but there’s that fat man baby walking sim coming out too and no one is upset about it?acksplode posted:I don't think there's even any bickering, it's all gamergate types talking to each other. Oh, I’ve definitely seen a lot of bickering on the big gaming forums. It is a fair point that I only see gamergate types in youtube thumbnails though.

Yeah I put "controversy" in quotes for a reason. Its's mostly chuds and terminally online people fighting a video game culture war.Haptical Sales Slut posted:Atomic Heart has a lot of issues, but the moment to moment gameplay that includes FPS melee and shooting and dodging somehow works incredibly well. Also has the most satisfying looting mechanics I’ve ever used in a game. Shame about the bizarre DLC that is like mobile mini games for some reason wtc? Lol thats everything I hate about it. Unless they patched it, the movement speed is so slow and there is just a dash but not sprinting, enemies are damage sponges so melee feels terrible, and looting is awful because every room has a million drawers for you to vacuum crafting materials out of. But yeah the DLC is a big WTF itself. It looks like they tried to implement old school FPS surf maps but the physics are all wrong since its Unreal and not some Quake/Source derivative.

There are parts of the game that shipped in a state that I would say barely qualifies as finished. otoh the art direction, gunplay, looting, soundtrack, and puzzle solving are simply incredible.

Someone mentioned No Rest for the Wicked. My eyes glazed over because it made me think of that wack Cage the Elephant song from Borderlands, but the game actually looks incredible. should have called it Dark Age: Legacy Souls: Origins or something.

Yeah, No Rest For The Wicked is cool. Performance and early balance issues aside, it already feels really fun to play. Full release for early access games is normally at least a year after EA opens though, so it’ll probably be a while before it hits PS5.

univbee posted:Stellar Blade is causing some interesting drama in Japan but not quite for the reasons you might expect. Is that the reason why they put out that game is uncensored tweet which the incel anti-woke coomer crowd is celebrating as a massive victory? I found that weird and like they were basically dog whistling at that crowd to reassure them that this "their game" and was kind of irked by it, but that makes more sense if that's what it's about. All the marketing and just weird fervor surrounding this game honestly has me wondering now if it's actually gonna be any good. It's like they're building these crazy expectations, but also feels like they're kind of overselling it now from what I was anticipating even a few months ago as just a quirky ode to classic sci-fi stuff like Battle Angel Alita or Genesis Climber Mospeada. I honestly didn't expect it to be marketed like it's the second coming by Sony or to it to pick up this weird culture war angle so it's honestly gotten harder to know what to expect anymore now.

Was it really that long ago? Holy cow. Like I do remember it being announced as Project:ReFantasy, disappearing for like a whole console cycle at least, then resurfacing suddenly as a whole new concept in 2023, then disappearing for about a year again and very recently coming back into the limelight. It felt like it was announced more like 2020 somehow, but I guess my sense of the progression of events got hosed a little by covid. JBP posted:Lots of dumb chuds getting trolled into listening to K-pop for twenty hours I mean at first I thought so too up until today hearing about the censorship tweet. That they are gonna slide off the game as it's not really for them, but now the whole "WOW SO UNCENSORED EVERYWHERE" marketing just had me wondering what other purpose or reason it could possibly exist other than as a dog whistle to them. Like is it for them and not really for me after all? In any case they seem to have very much heard it that way even if was just for Japan where it's the only other sort of reason I could see them just throwing that out there since they do have a history of harshly censoring gore and violence there. Like I really hope Sony/Shift Up didn't just dog whistle to the anti-woke oft extremely bigoted gamergate crowd that is always ranting and raving about censorship as a marketing gimmick.

The thing that kinda irritates me the most about SB right now is the director saying the game will be South Korea’s first big foray into console development and prove that SK can compete in that space. Dude Lies of P and Dave the Diver both beat you last year.

Persona 5 has like 40 hours of the some of my favorite JRPG combat of all time and 60 hours of the most boring chores and bloated dialogue. It's not a great ratio but the combat really is so good. I hope Metaphor is paced better but I'm still in even if not.

Yeah, if you aren't running into it that's cool. But it just means you either aren't looking at any ads/articles related to the game or just never look at comments. Which sounds pretty healthy. Good job.

Started playing Sekiro again. I was worried that playing years later I will recognize that other games surpassed it, but Sekiro seems to me like it hasn't aged a day: the tone, setting, and combat are as perfect as games will ever get IMO. I absolutely love that they mixed a semi-historical setting with From's brand of horror and weirdness and underlined it with that brooding, droning soundtrack, and to top it off they threw out almost all RPG stats and made one of the best combat systems around. It also helps that it's available at rock solid 60 FPS (  )
