I believe literally half the game was cut in order to get it out in time, because I seem to remember there were two or three times where there were 2-3 "Chapters" in a row that had literally zero gameplay or player input required (and can't be skipped, haha). It feels like they had intended to make a much bigger and longer game but were hamstrung by how much time they put into making the graphics engine (which is quite good, mind you).

According to the devs they were hamstrung by the necessity to put gameplay into their video game.

Like the hardest game ever is Xenoblade I couldn't get past the stage where you first get the monado. After 10 minutes I gave up and just watched an LP of it and that was just as good as playing the game. I felt so suckered that I promptly returned it to gamestop. The Order Devs get where people like me are coming from, we're not here to be frustrated by obscene mechanics and tired tropes like boss battles. We're here for the fresh and new to be fully immersed in a game, and the only way to get good immersion is to have a great story. When you die in a game or get stuck it breaks that sense of immersion and that is a big no no.

I remember that " I guess we have to put gameplay in our cinematic experience" quote. It was the quote that completely deflated any expectation I had of The Order based on the trailers.

I don't know if you're actually joking and I just don't get it or not but I do agree that sometimes games are better off having solid gameplay and a good story instead of super awesome gameplay and a total garbage story. It's just that The Order happens to have solid gameplay but also still a garbage story so it failed on both counts.

games with lots of cutscenes are good for smoking as you get lots of breaks to roll a joint/pack a bowl and also you are then amazed by the cutscenes

It's tough making a videogame as a failed movie director hellbent on inserting his panned movie script in every project.

im just saying the game doesn't deserve the hate it's got. it's not the best game ever or anything but it's good and fun. it's better than gear of war for example.

I wonder how many early movie directors in the late 19th-early 20th century said they are trying to make a literary experience and are forced to deal with lighting and actors.

CJacobs posted:I liked Wolfenstein TNO but the thing that dragged it down for me is that I never really had enough ammo for the big guns to do anything fun with them so I just used the standard assault rifle pretty much the entire time. The laser gun/sniper rifle and laserkraftwerk have pretty tiny battery life and you get maxed out on rockets way too quick for them to be useful in normal combat. Also the robot enemies kinda suck because there's no real way to tell if you're hurting them until they spontaneously explode because you killed them. I agree with the guy that said it was good but not great tbh.

drat, check out the rare Taint Reaper and Stux double team action. You're watching your taint, feeling pretty safe, then you get stux'd out of nowhere. Pretty epic.

Do those MGS games usually have summaries of past games or something to bring new players up to speed? I just saw a gameplay trailer for the new one and it looks good. thanks

Not knowing what the gently caress is going on is a fundamental part of the MGS experience. Attempting to catch up or remember who anyone but Snake is will detract from that experience.

Vorik posted:Do those MGS games usually have summaries of past games or something to bring new players up to speed? I just saw a gameplay trailer for the new one and it looks good. thanks They only summarize games that are important to them. So Phantom Pain will probably talk about mgs3, Peacewalker, and Ground Zeroes. Mgs1, 2, and 4 have no relevance to the newest one because the are in modern times/future. That said, you can completely ignore peace walker and ground zeroes. But I'd recommend at least watching a let's play of mgs3. Since mgs3 is a game that needs to be experienced, if not played. Our very own chip cheezum and ironicus have a rather good lp of mgs3.

Metal Gear Solid 3 is by far the best MGS game and is just the right amount of batshit insane so play that regardless.

if you haven't played MGS3 you're basically deprived of one of the PS2's greatest treasures and it's the loving PS2 so it has a lot of treasures
