I mean I'd be lying if I said I didn't really dislike nu-Dante, but yeah he wasn't the primary negative there or anything.

Yeah, nu-Dante is bad, but he could have worked fine if the writing had been better than Sniper-Rifle Abortion Including-ly bad. Or if the gameplay, while fine for a new franchise, wasn't a huge step back from DMC4 in basically every respect.

MrSlam posted:What about a Princess Peach game that behaves more like a 4X long term strategy? You have to manage the toadstool lords that reside over your provinces, appease the immigrant goomba population, and make diplomatic decisions with surrounding Koopa Kid controlled territories. One of those insanely complicated Middle Ages 4x games probably has a mod like that. Wasn't there a Zelda mod for one somewhere? And I like Jim. His shtick is fun. And sometimes he says the stuff no one will say, especially when it comes to Nintendo. He is right about Starfox, what was the point of that control scheme. If you could pick one or the other it would have been fine. Forcing you to use both just makes things frustrating.

I think DmC suffers from banjo-kazooie syndrome in that the game should have been it's own IP rather something that rides on a beloved franchise. The difference is that i think nuts and bolts was good enough to be a new IP.

I would unironically play Princess Peach Political Simulator. Or a kid friendly tower defence or RTS starring her. Anything but that one awful Peach game they did make. And yes Airplane is a general mockery of 70s airport films. There were tonnes with pretty similar plots Mokinokaro fucked around with this message at 05:02 on Jun 18, 2016 |

Although Mayday at 40,000 Feet!, Airplane!, and Zero Hour! all have two major details in common: they’re all about flights from Los Angeles to Chicago, and they all have a professional athlete playing a member of the flight crew. echopapa fucked around with this message at 08:31 on Jun 18, 2016 |

I have played all of this games once and only once and I have no desire to revisit them no matter how awesome it was slicing a train in half or rocket boosting in circles or stomping some angelic monstrosity with your giant steletto heel was. :/ The rest of the game simply isn't worth it.

Medieval 2 Total War has a stupidly extensive Zelda Mod, but Total War isn't really a grand strategy 4x game. It's more of a fairly simple 4x game with RTS battles whenever armies meet in the field.

How anyone can play a non-licenced platinum game and not be having tons of fun is beyond my comprehension. You do you I guess. Edit: I would maybe give someone Revengence, as they forgot to explain the most important mechanic to the player. The others though,  .

MonsieurChoc posted:That got me thinking about a different sci-fi space opera series with a huge world-building database that saw a switch in team for it's two sequels: Xenosaga. Except Xenosaga went back to the style of the first game for the ending instead of staying with the unpopular style of the second. I would love love love to read or watch some kind of comprehensive explanation and analysis of the Xenosaga narrative and universe. I really enjoyed the games and thought I had a good grasp of things after the first one, but I had no idea what was going on by the end of the trilogy. I know it was supposed to be a longer series and the story got kind of a hackjob to fit it into three games, but I still had the sense that there was a coherent story there, just one that I didn't necessarily understand due to long gaps between playing each game and a lack of knowledge about Christianity, Gnosticism, Nietzsche, and a bunch of other things. I want to go back to it, but I'm sure the gameplay hasn't aged well and I already probably devoted 120+ hours of my life to that series. I'm up for another 4-5 hours to finally understand the story, but not that much.

The gameplay of the first and last game remains pretty fun (if you like JRPGs), but goddamn the second game sucked. I really really want a Xenosaga HD collection.

If you like surreal horror based on kids shows that ISN'T just a parade of edgy, you really should check out DHMIS. This is, indeed, the final video, so you can enjoy them all at once, instead of having to wait months like the rest of us! I spent more money than I should have backing their kickstarter, but I have no regrets! (I also got a neat t-shirt out of the deal so yay that)
