Dark souls 3 was ok but not as good as Dark Souls 2.

I heard Quantum Break was meh, wait in till the company goes bankrupt soon so you can grab it on any system.

i think its an ms IP so windows app firesale in a few years will have to do.

ds3 so far is better than ds2 for me. i prefer the souls1 style combat sped up to the souls 2 style of fast combat, idk. the expansion better be insane though or it won't live up to either predecessor

Hideo is on his way out. His cash cow has died and he killed it. Never played Viewful Joe for the guy on the top, it sounds like he has no reason to show people the game because he wont listen what they don't like, he could just save that money. I dont understand why there is a quote and a picture of Tommy Wiseau on the bottom.

Kamiya's quote could equally apply to Sakamoto deciding to make Samus a whimpering little girl in Metroid: Other M or Miyamoto getting rid of all the actual jokes in Paper Mario: Sticker Star. Lionizing game developers for being full of themselves to the point of ignoring feedback is stupid when it's made way, way more bad games than good ones.

Viewtiful Joe is actually loving amazing and remains one of the better games in its genre (even if future Hideki Kamiya games ended up being even more awesome) so I'm glad he didn't listen to stupid butthead testers.

That quote doesn't come off as ignoring all feedback, just bad focustesting that would result in Fuse-ing a game if one followed it thoughtlessly.

e: Sticker Star was a direct response to player feedback, lol

He specifically ignored advice from kids. Which is totally good since kids haven't developed taste and are still usually in the "Loves super popular thing because the marketing is good or just following" or " thinks everything popular is bad" stage of their life.

People who never grow out of these are "casuals" or "grognards". Both are won over by marketing so basing design around them is terrible.

What I meant is Kamiya had a good idea with VJ, but asking kids? Whether children or manchildren, their opinion is about as useful as a bag of dogshit on your doorstep.

Kojima didn't elaborate on coders changing his intent. Sometimes developers ask for the impossible, or to bend a system just to make a vision work(the ice cubes in MGS2). Mentioning Snatcher seems to make it slightly dated, so I think that might have been a case of technical limitations way back when, and he's been jaded ever since.

And Itagaki just sounds like a dick, but it would be perfectly justified if his team or he actually played through it first. The situation where even the game devs can't beat their own game is artificial difficulty, and bad design.

They all did good things, but even so, there's room for improvement, even if it's just a matter of perception.

The Bat tank was fun, for like the first 4 hours. Then after you kill countless drones, it loses its appeal. You fight more in the drat tank.

As someone who has played over a hundred hours each of ds1, 2, and Bloodborne, ds3 has really, really good gameplay. I think that the gameplay itself is the best of the three dark souls, but it's apples and oranges with Bloodborne.

I've played loving asstons of ds2, both vanilla and sotfs. Ds3 is much better.

I'm not completely sold on the bosses in ds3 yet, but I have a few left before I beat the game.

Ds3 has the most quality of life improvements of any soulsgame. Oh except ds1 style leveling.
