if you're looking for 80 hours of padded-out anime adventures that demonstrate to your susceptibility for the sunk-cost fallacy, the tales of games are great. each game is a giant exercise of "when are they going to get to the fireworks factory?!" i've played three of them to completion

Rexicon1 posted:I thought sky lords could evade stingers super easily and the stingers sometimes explode and don't damage the jet? or did they fix that and make airplanes less horrible to play against. yeah they've hosed it up every patch since release. at release a loner in a little bird was total stinger fodder but a squad in a little bird with a good pilot and 2 engineers repairing was a death machine. now a loner in a little bird is invulnerable but also useless because a single stinger has no effect and then they just pop ir smoke and fly away until its cooldown is up. a little bird with a squad is also useless because they nerfed repairing to uselessness.

Notorious QIG posted:theres still definitely a place for games journalism (especially when its ethical games journalism has two major problems: it's pretty much impossible for them to be honest and have reliable revenue, and games can't reliably be obtained early in the same consistent manner that movies can be, both due to game publishers only sending early review copies to people who consistently give them positive reviews, and games often not even being in a releasable state until release day due to day 1 patches and the like there's also a big problem of time commitment; a movie has a finite length and even an impossibly-long movie will take up less than 4 hours of your time, while i'm getting into an argument in the playstation import thread because someone thinks you shouldn't review a 60-hour jrpg without completing it. yes, i'm totally going to spend 60 hours of my time + the time to write a review which i'm probably not going to be paid for beyond the free copy of the game, this is good value for money and will surely put food on my family's table

the main problem is that reviews generate pageviews which generates ad revenue so you have to have them but reviews are like... the least interesting, least useful poo poo and metacritic is slowly choking the game industry to death
