I picked up Dying Light when it was on sale recently. Seemed like maybe it would be a semi-decent zombie game. Holy poo poo the writing/dialogue is so bad I had to get a refund 20 minutes into it.

It also doesn't help that literature is non-interactive; video games sabotage literary plot and pacing with all the player-controlled parts. The example that I always think of is from GTA4, where cutscene-Niko opens up and relates a godawful experience from the Serbian Wars then walks outside and player-Niko barrels down the sidewalk scattering pedestrians like bowling pins.

This is why Saints Row 2 is pretty much the best game because the Boss in the cutscenes is pretty much exactly the person who would go bowling pedestrians over on the sidewalk, and I'm honestly kind of surprised that never actually happened in a cutscene.

Zinyak references it in one of his rants about the Boss. "How many people did you kill because the sidewalk was faster than the road? How many died because you used a rocket instead of a bullet?" The Boss in Saints Row is the most perfect GTA-style player character in the history of video games. And usually the most ridiculous-looking as well.

With 99.99999999999% of zombie titles existing on the basis of "well, programming decent AI was too hard" Dying Light should get a goddamn medal for being actually worth playing. The story is a total predictable shitshow where you with your player character would die the second he opend his stupid loving mouth but the actual part of the game that matters (the gameplay) is spot on. Also I spent my first hour of the multiplayer literally just kicking my way through a horde of zombies with my friends while screaming "WELCOME TO BOOT CAMP!" on voice chat so I might have some biases. Content: MGS Phantom Pain is unaware that this is the year of our lord two thousand and fifteen and keeps giving me keyboard and mouse tool-tips instead of the actual controller I have plugged in and have been using exclusively the whole game.

The crazy thing is that the developer of Dying Light, Techland, is the same developer responsible for Call of Juarez: Gunslinger which is like the poster child of using writing to elevate a game with clever dialogue and in-game storytelling.

That, or my standards have just really fallen. Not always. Sometimes licensing gets very expensive to get the rights to the Japanese actors. Basically, within Japan, the union sets the salaries (and they're actually surprising low) but outside of the region VAs get to dictate whatever price they want and they usually demand any negotiations be done face to face. It's also why we see a lot of Japanese games that are only available dubbed. I mean SpaceDrake mentioned over at NeoGAF that licensing the second set of voices for Fortune Summoners (the ones for the deluxe rerelease that was done by professional VAs) would've cost quite a bit more than the profit they made from localizing. The VAs have a tendency to highly inflate their prices and sometimes even decide they won't let their work be licensed period.

In the second game you get a trophy for playing Marco Polo in a pool, in the third game you get a trophy for playing Marco Solo (there's also a medal for petting every yak in a village). My favorite was the achievement you get for shining the mirror puzzle in Chloe's face.

Lizard Wizard posted:Wow, it's like I can taste the PC elitism! I've recently had a great time seeing this on the Call of Duty: MW2 steam forums as there is absolutely no controller support for that game. There is for the first, and everyone after it, but not the second. If you look at any post on the forum asking what people use to enable controllers (Joy2Key, xpadder, etc.), the same guy keeps posting how it doesn't matter, as you will be destroyed by the other players using K + M. Which means gently caress all to me, as I'm purely wanting to play singleplayer. Why the gently caress can't people get that A) maybe not all of us play multiplayer games, and B) maybe we like to play on a couch where holding a mouse and using a keyboard is awkward. All said, that is what is dragging down CoD: MW2 for me, can't play it using a controller without third party software, that truthfully, I don't want to waste my time with. So I will just refund the game and play something else.

On the subject of dragging MGSV down with quiet. There's a scene where you shower with her and a bunch of dudes watch and make comments. It was awkward to say the least. Also Ocelot stands on the side Big Boss is on, while everyone else crowds around Quiet which amused me.

Beat the Extreme version of her boss fight, where she has more health, can one-shot you, and dodges the supply drop trick, and you get the Sniper Wolf costume she's wearing during that mission. I like Quiet a lot, and part of it's that I think all of her costumes are pretty fantastic.

I think the costume where she wears clothes looks legit good and if I had that option the whole game, it'd be cool. Then again I also don't make the dog wear any of his armor or anything because I think it looks dumb.
