Gone Home remains a very cleverly made game, and some of the imitators that came after are just lazy and bad. this. while I found the story of the game it self kinda meh(your sister is a lesbian and ran off with her gf and your dad was conservative dick) But I liked the environmental story telling and how you pieced stuff together. I think the problem is people took the wrong thing away from Gone home. Instead of great environmental story telling. the imitators went for "deep" "emotional" plots and with no gameplay. you just walk around and get the authors message thrown in your face, In Gone home you had to actually discover it. Sunset is the biggest example of this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZly6bW3UMk Dapper_Swindler fucked around with this message at 17:38 on Apr 20, 2016 |

I work with a guy who said last week "I'm really excited for the OUYA to come out" I stood there a minute while my brain processed that and finally said "Erm, it already came out..." to which he clarified "Oh I meant come out in stores around here" at which point I did a mental ALT-F4 on the whole conversation

People who hated Gone Home called it a walking simulator out of spite. Then people who actually liked Gone Home accepted that as the name for the genre. I never really understood that.

Lurdiak posted:Walking simulators is such a childish thing to call the genre. "drawer-opening sim" was more accurate for Gone Home. I have a Vita and want to get old PSP games I missed on it. How are The Warriors and Ultimate Ghouls and Ghosts, has anyone tried those? Heard good things about Warriors but nothing about the other one.

Palpek posted:It got bad rep for being an attrocious PC port more than anything else. I mean it still may not run no matter what your config is and they rereleased the game after it was taken down from Steam having changed absolutely nothing in it - no patch, no performance boost, nada. Which made the updated reviews applauding the publisher for getting the game to finally work even more hilarious. Maybe there's 250 literal trophies, but you also have to do all those destructible items and snapshot riddles which are more obscure and bullshit than ever. I think if you count those it's like 400-450 jerkoff Riddler bullshit things you have to do. Also, the "full" ending adds nothing worthwhile. Better off watching it on Youtube after you finish the main quest, because as someone who liked getting 100% of the poo poo in Asylum and City, there is absolutely nothing enjoyable about doing all the riddler poo poo in Knight.

What makes the hidden ending for Arkham Kninght so dumb is it leaves on a cliff hanger. I love Rocksteady's games and all but you end a trilogy with a cliff hanger. I will admit I did the trophies because I wanted to punch Riddler's face in. It wasn't as satisfying like Arkham City's unfortunately.

Also I'll probably buy Firewatch one of these days so I can yell at stupid teens in lakes. Mordja fucked around with this message at 18:24 on Apr 20, 2016 |

Palpek posted:The original Prince of Persia had a 1 hour time limit on top of the screen. You literally couldn't play it longer than that because it was a game over. I don't think this is true for the original, I think you just don't get to fight the final boss when you get to the last level and the Princess is gone. At least that's how it is on the SNES version. Prince of Persia 2 is this way, but IIRC the time limit doesn't start until like halfway through the game and I don't remember how long it gives you.

I always get annoyed when a game talks up "mystrious" stuff in the game. and then nothing happens or its something mundane.

You can still go through the game and kill Jafar. Just afterwards when you finish, you just find an empty room and welp. Two was more brutal though goddamn. edit: googling Shadow and Flame and they made a PoP reskin. Only it's moblie. Ew.

Monkey Fracas posted:wait I thought they did do something to improve Arkham Knight on PC? If you mean in terms of performance, I think there was a patch that made it go from "literally unplayable" to "playable, but not at all enjoyable" on my main PC, which met all the system requirements. Whether it will actually run worth a poo poo seems to vary wildly, I wasn't able to actually play it until I got a gaming laptop with similar specs to my desktop, I guess maybe the difference that the laptop has an nvidia card in it?

From what I played of it, it's just a port of the POP remake that was on Xbox 360 anyway. The remake was nice in that they added some of the more parkour-y stuff to the gameplay mechanics, but they made the swordfighting mechanics really weird and unenjoyable. raditts fucked around with this message at 18:36 on Apr 20, 2016 |

I played the OG Prince of Persia remake that they released for XBLA and was really surprised at how much I liked it. I didn't play it when it was first released way back when but it didn't really strike me as a game that would age particularly well. It's good though.
