Griefor posted:I posted this a while ago in the griefing thread as well: There's a line in there that made me think a little. quote:Sure, there were plenty of websites that debated the veracity of Final Fantasy resurrection rumors but, personally, I hold that the internet has become a more cynical, more skeptical place. Maybe that's just me. I think it's that datamining has become a thing in a way it wasn't back then, so we know there's a giant Aeris that tells you you're in hell, and unused Sector 7 and Honey Bee Inn lines. It is far easier to prove or disprove these rumors because the secrets don't stay truly secret for long.

The main things I remember about crimson haze is the guy getting really mad at all the fart jokes being made in the thread, and that people were actually pretty impressed that he managed to make anything at all outside of a website and some concept art.

Somfin posted:Oh dear, a quarter of an hour. I do not understand why people go out of their way to defend this. Saying oh it doesn't waste that much of your time doesn't mean it wasn't something that was intentionally put in the game to do nothing else than waste your time. It's not a case of inadvertently bad design making you backtrack more than you should or whatever. It's the developer saying "we are going to make you stop playing and run on a hamster wheel while literally nothing happens, because gently caress you." All told it's an incredibly small part of the game, but it's appallingly disrespectful to the player to do things like this and then they pull poo poo like that again in other places in the game. The hamster wheel dumbassery tends to get the most attention because it's early in the game and it's not optional. There's unintentional bad design and then there's "gently caress you, player! gently caress you for some reason!" and everything posted about super paper mario in this thread is the latter. Whether it wastes two hours of your time or five minutes doesn't change the principle.

The Demon Rush was a pretty bad game but all the promotion images and videos (made by other goons) were spectacular. I still look them up from time to time. Sad thing about The Demon Rush though is that it was a finished game. Lack of artistic skills notwithstanding, the guy did put a considerable amount of effort into making the game. You need tons of assets for a full length game and it's not like RPG Maker where you can just use all the assets RPG Maker comes with. Although maybe it's not so sad since apparently he's making enough money to keep going? I find it weird that even lots of good indie developers get in trouble these days because it's so hard to get exposure and potential buyers have access to thousands of other crappy (and dozens of very good) indie games 10 for a buck from all sorts of bundles, yet this guy apparently just released his 5th game and is still trucking.

Why does this boss have more than one hit point, all it does is waste my time! Why are there more than one level, I got to an ending, why do I have to do it again and waste even more of my precious time!? All games should come with a 'win game' button that is pre-pressed on starting up so that it jumps straight from steam icon to end credits so as to minimise time wasting. Just dump all 100% of the available achievements right onto my steam profile on load and call it good. I paid my five dollars (thanks steam sale!), I don't want to have to waste my time playing this time-wasting piece of poo poo. Seriously, though. That part of the game doesn't have very engaging gameplay, that's valid. That part of the game isn't varied or interesting enough to hold my attention, that's valid. That part of the game feels like a pointless diversion from the main plot and it takes too much work for it to resolve, that's valid. It wastes your time? Motherfucker you are playing the blip bloops on the fuckin' screen, that time is gone. Every game is built to eat up big fat greasy slabs of your time, whether or not that time is wasted is up to you. We're living in an era where 50+ hours of "content" is a selling point. Why keep playing if you are being forced to spend that time doing something you don't like? E: Seriously, I need to know this. Why did you keep playing if that early section was such a loving chore? What was it about the game that made continuing through that section worth it? Somfin has a new favorite as of 12:25 on Dec 16, 2015 |

Captainsalami posted:I thought the game was good. The treadmill was annoying. Then I didn't get mad and whiny about it for years later and just think of it as an overall good game. The end. I thought the thing was funny, conceptually, and I liked that the level was about figuring out how to get around working off debt rather than a standard platforming level. Even with the hamster wheel, it's probably one of my favorite levels in that game. But I also don't feel a need to argue with people. Regardless of whether it was a fun experience for people, I would say that making players think you'd need to run on that hamster wheel for hours certainly counts as a troll from game developers. For content, I feel like Sony's codename of "Project Morpheus" was a troll (though not as bad as going from "Revolution" to "Wii"), because in retrospect, it is actually incredibly obvious that the company with that only ever came up with two actual product names (PlayStation and Vita) was always going to name their PlayStation VR "PlayStation VR." Also, at that pricing, with that many competitors, and with no real flagship software, I feel like this virtual reality thing is going to flop harder than anyone could imagine. The newest issue of GameInformer dubs 2016 "The Year of VR" while simultaneously ridiculing everything about the product's gaming applications in its closing pages. Virtual Reality itself is really just an industry-wide troll at this point.

Yeah, it's a small blip in a game that's eventually over and you can move on to hopefully better writing and better gameplay afterward. In the end Super Paper Mario was mediocre in almost every way, which stands out after two stellar Paper Mario games. Some parts of the game were bad on purpose instead of by accident, and as Game Trolls go, it's chock full of those kinds of moments.

Virtual Reality itself is really just an industry-wide troll at this point. It says something that perhaps the most popular game designed for VR (certainly up there, at least) is Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes, which uses it for isolation instead of immersion. VR's all well and good from a technological perspective, but the only game that's really done anything interesting with it is the one that didn't bother and instead capitalized on the fact that the player will be the only person actually seeing the game. EDIT: And hell, I'm ultimately just assuming that Keep Talking was designed for VR, as opposed to just happening to work perfectly for it from that angle.
