Sakurazuka posted:It's a $60 indie game that at best is going to an amusing diversion until people get bored of flying to procedurally generated planets with nothing interesting to do on them. Was there any point in its development when it every even claimed to be anything but this? Like I understand if people think it looks bag but it's odd to see people like "I was hyped but now I'm not" like anything's really changed since it was announced.

I mean, I wasn't expecting a $60 price point, to be honest. That's basically where my interest started wane. I think what they are offering looks cool, but I wasn't sure I was going to buy it even when I thought it was going to closer to $40.

CrashCat posted:For a really long time the only claim was "look, we made a big galaxy with MATH" so people just filled in the blanks in their head with whatever random poo poo they wanted to believe. Even now that all the activities have been revealed I'm still a bit gunshy because they have kept the breadth of each option as secret as possible. I hope the game is good because that'd be great, but I'm pretty cautious about it as well. Exploring and seeing weird poo poo is cool and all but it can get old real fast in a video game

Jonas Albrecht posted:What's happening with NMS? I thought people were still all a'titter for it. Nothing's changed with NMS at all, but for some loving reason the fact that it costs $60 has caused some goons to have a meltdown. Sucks to be poor I guess  axleblaze posted:Was there any point in its development when it every even claimed to be anything but this? Nope, people are dumb and looking for things to bitch about. For some reason "person likes game I don't like" really grinds some people's gears. I have better poo poo to do than tell other people to stop being excited about something.

PantsBandit posted:I started playing that Shadow Warrior from a couple years ago last night. That game rules. I found a couple of bunnies banging in the forest and discovered if you kill one of them the other one turns into a demon bunny and starts warping all over the place trying to eat your face while screamo metal plays in the background Those were in the original too. You'd sometimes find two rabbits just hopping around and when they'd get close, they'd start banging away. When they were done and after a few seconds another smaller rabbit would pop out of the female rabbit. If you killed one nothing happened but in one level you'd find a rabbit with a sign near it that said something like danger, killer rabbit. If you got near it it would fly at you and do serious damage. I'm not sure if you could kill it.

Monster Hunter and Pokemon are both going to eat into basically all of my free time, which isn't going to help my massive PC backlog.

I could never get into Dragon's Crown but I loved loving Muramasa to pieces so I'm cautiously optimistic about the Odin Sphere remaster. It's rare to see a game studio basically say "yeah, we kinda hosed this up when we first released it, so here's a much better version with our superior combat engine." I'm not sure if it's something I necessarily support, since one would like to think that a game should be released in its ideal state, but it's interesting to see a studio willing to re-release a title with improvements not available at the time of its release. It makes me think of what would happen if Nintendo remade Zelda 2 and utilized a newer engine and quality of life gameplay innovations to the same basic visual package.

Ahundredbux posted:I'd hardly say it's a meltdown when people disagree about the perceived value of a product It's not even really a dig on them, it's a really small company and obviously they can't go marketing blitz on this poo poo. But back when people were most interested they had the least amount nailed down and I think that cost them. Honestly they probably never should have revealed it until it was almost done and then let it blow people away, but that's a hard call to make, especially since they probably never did this before.

CrashCat posted:Yeah, and when all we knew was "lots of planets", "indie" and "sixty bucks" I could understand the alarm. But they're so bad at getting the word out that's still the sum total of what a lot of people, maybe even the majority, know about the game. It seems pretty likely that they wanted to release it last year but got delayed. And an extremely small team working on novel game mechanics like procedural generation is going to encounter some unforseen delays. Sean Murray should never be allowed to speak in public ever again though. Hello Games needs to get somebody who knows how to loving TALK to just translate for him in the future.

I think the bigger issue is that the lead clearly does not understand what people like about his game and keeps showing off the boring poo poo.

Nah he does, he's just unbelievably bad at talking and explaining things. As a total dorky engineer myself I understand it, listening to John Carmack talk about games isn't really much different, but the thing is John Carmack never did PR work. They really need somebody else to talk to Sean and do the explaining to journalists / consumers for him, because he's loving awful.

It's nothing that new, for instance MGS 3 Subsistence is vastly superior to the fixed camera-only release that Snake Eater had. That release without camera control is all but forgotten now, especially because Subsistence deployed not too long after the original MGS3. I do like that Vanillaware is coming back to their original baby and touching it up with better poo poo, though.

Yokai Watch 2 looks a little too similar to its predecessors, and if it's out in September, with FF15 and then Pokemon just two months later, I worry that it's going to get overshadowed, particularly with two versions. It may not be popular, but I'd think they should push it back to either later December or early Spring. But I dunno, maybe it'll do fine.

I don't expect that new Homefront game to be very good, like there are no review copies and it's had a very odd development history, but apparently there are 2 playable Timesplitters 2 levels hidden in the city which hopefully means they're hinting at some sort of rerelease/remaster... Maybe even a sequel. It probably won't sell very well either since there seems to be no hype or advertising for it even though it comes out tomorrow but I really hope it doesn't do so poorly that the Timesplitters dens get shuttered

I was talking with my friend about Homefront last night and I was telling him there's a sequel coming out later this year and he wouldn't believe me and then I realized it's basically out. I have the feeling it's going to just be swallowed up by Doom 4.

I sorta liked 1 in a weird way. and i like the changes they made with the reboot, plus i love far cry clones and alternate timeline stuff. I'll say what i think after i have played a bunch.
