Bust Rodd posted:This is loving hilarious. Now I'm just thinking of him constantly terrified for the last, uh, 15 years of making Silent Hill or whatever. Kojima was never involved with Silent Hill. Silent Hills was supposed to be Konami reviving the series with a fresh creator and fresh ideas, instead of contracting yet another US developer to produce yet another bad imitation of SH2.

Jewce posted:I pre-ordered Nioh. I almost made it, but I learned nothing from NMS. Preordering nioh isn't even in the same zip code of stupidity as preordering no man's sky. Nioh had three public demos with positive responses from players and which showed improvements between each one, and many reviews are already out with almost unanimous praise for the game. At this point the only way I see preordering nioh as being a worse idea than waiting is if it's just not your kind of game anyway, which is no different than if you bought it after release. There's not a whole lot of info on the game we still don't have which would make preordering a bad idea. Unlike no man's sky where they were being coy motherfuckers about the whole thing all the way up to and past the game's release.

rabidsquid posted:ive actually thought about the subject of "horror games" a lot, mostly in the context of discussing whether or not the later resident evils count, which mostly centered around people making arguments for why 4 was but 5 and 6 weren't, which was mostly just hair splitting feelings based nonsense because most of the reasons people say they hate 5 and 6 also apply to 4. ANYWAYS, there isnt actually a "horror" genre of games, they don't easily fit into the same play style and one group isnt more authentic than any other. amnesia/soma are not like silent hill 2, but they're definitely all three horror games. i find that mostly people seem invested in arguing what is or isnt a horror game to keep stuff they personally dont like out of their playground, and that its pretty much meaningless. Yeah horror can really be anything that fits a certain mood or theme, it can be terrifying or goofy. I'd say later RE games still qualify as horror. Definitely action games, but thematically they are still horror even of they aren't scary. Like, I'd put dead space in that same genre even if DS is way scarier. Something like Dark Souls is hard to peg. Same with the Last of us. They are both things that can be scary and even have thematic horror elements, but I don't think either one is defined by them so it's hard to call them horror.

Whatever Resi 4 is...it's certainly not 'survival horror' like the previous games. They totally reinvented the core theme in 4, for better or worse. Better for the industry, worse for the series.

Well RE4 actually achieves its gameplay balance through some cheap tricks. Enemies will take more hits somewhat randomly, and if you're doing really well I believe it spawns even more enemies in to ensure it's drained at least some portion of your ammunition. The game generally does its best to stagger your resources and force you into dangerous situations with less-than-ideal armament options. By the end of the game you have so many guns it doesn't matter, you'll always have something, but well into the castle you'll still find yourself desperately scrambling to find a chokepoint to knife your foes or some spare ammo to get your pistol back up and firing.

(Don't get me wrong though; RE4 was awesome, even if it was different from RE1-2) And now the new RE has reinvented the core yet again, and in many ways returned to RE1's style of being trapped in a spooky mansion full of puzzles and monsters with limited ability to defend yourself.

veni veni veni posted:He said worse for the series. RE5 is honestly even worse in hindsight, an absolutely clunky stumble of a follow-up to RE4. Nice spectacle but the gameplay is just not nearly up to par, especially with the poorly implemented multiplayer focus. RE6, on the other hand, is a really underappreciated gem of an action game. It's got a lot of Vanquish's DNA in it, particularly due to its slide mechanic, but it also introduces an overall fluidity and speed that RE5 lacked, and the 2-player element actually feels much more elegantly implemented and part of the experience. I think it's not the most well designed sort of game, it's a bit bloated and there are a lot of so-so parts, but at the same time it has some of the most excellent set pieces put forward in the series. There's a stage where you have to navigate through a submarine, beginning with you entering, ending with you making a narrow escape as it floods with water and sinks, and it's just fantastic, tons of action, some time-based puzzle challenges, and everything looks awesome. I feel like RE5 burned people out and they didn't come to notice RE6's improvements to the design. It's good the series is moving back to its horror roots, but i think RE4's legacy isn't all bad for the brand overall. RE4 remains one of the greatest games ever made, period, and nothing can take that away from it. It's certainly my favorite Resident Evil game, without question, and the REmake would be the second.

Digirat posted:Do you need to be connected to PSN for preloaded games to unlock? i am basing this entirely off of the fact that your ps+ game license doesnt give a poo poo if you're online or offline to lock you out of a game, but i would assume so long as your licenses have updated in the past recent history it still should unlock whether the psn is up or down. but it might not work like that for unlocks i guess? but it would be weird if it was different since a license is a license.

Ill say I felt way more tense. And liked the game more. Before I learned about Res Evil 4s dynamic difficulty. I rarely used special guns. So it rarely gave me ammo which made them feel special and awesome when I pulled them out. Scraping by the skin of my teeth looses its exhilaration when I know the game will balance so that happens. It seemed survival horror to me. But granted is adventure horror or whatever if you play it that way.

If it works like steam, a preloaded game needs to be decrypted, and they might not distribute the decryption key until the release time via PSN. but I have no idea if that's how it works on playstation or not. I've never preloaded something from PSN before--do you normally have to wait awhile for it to decrypt when the release time hits, or can you launch it immediately? If you can launch it immediately then there's probably no decryption involved.

Been playing Assault Android Cactus and while no doubt it's fun and better than Broforce by a mile, that knockdown mechanic is drat near game ruining. I would so much rather have it so taking a hit just knocked your life down whatever the equivalent of of laying there stunned for 5 seconds is. It's so unsatisfying in a game that fast paced. Also the aesthetic is pretty hard to get past. It's sort of hideous.

Almost no games support it because it gives you an advantage over controller, and people don't want to have to use mouse and keyboard. https://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20753235853?page=3#post-58 https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2017/02/overwatch-director-speaks-out-against-console-mousekeyboard-adapters/ You can buy a device called a XIM which lets you make a mouse and keyboard appear as a controller, and its considered massively cheating.

RE1, RE2, and RE4 are three equally incredible games and definitely the three best Resident Evil games. I love Code Veronica personally and RE3 is alright but both of those haven't aged well in their own way. RE5 had a lot of minor things that added up to me not liking it as much as the past ones, but it was still a pretty good effort. One thing people don't mention often is the noticeably inferior sound effects in RE5 compared to RE4. They use a camera shake to sell what just looked and sounded badass in RE4 like noticing poo poo behind a door and decided at the last second to kick it open, little stuff like that. RE5 coop is a lot of fun though. RE6......it looks so bad but I do still have to actually play it, I'll pick it up on the PS4 sooner or later. I played a little bit of it when it first came out and it seemed awful but I read they patched a better camera and fixed some other stuff a couple of months after it came out.

Revelations is fuckin awesome but I haven't played 2 yet. I have to admit the console ports of Revelations 1 were a let down though. The game has a lot of shortcuts regarding its animations and some other things that were understandable on the 3DS, but really stand out on the PS3 compared to other RE stuff. Not really worth getting just to play on the big screen. The Outbreak games are so awesome but no one gave them a chance when they were new. In today's world if they made an RE game where four folks gotta team up to solve puzzles in a survival horror game it would be huge, people would eat it up.

That top link is the director of Overwatch saying "The Overwatch team objects to the use of mouse and keyboard on console." so yeah. If you want mouse and keyboard, play on PC. Maybe look into a steambox or find a way to run an HDMI cable to your TV from your PC.

The production value is probably the lowest in the series short of that weird tactical shooter they put out last year. Super inconsistent difficulty Awkward AI partners...I thought it was incredibly bad all around, but the same crowd that thinks RE6 is great seems to like it but ymmv. Also raid mode got boring really fast in 2. I think I only liked it so much in 1 because it was portable.

I enjoyed REvelations 2, enough to get to episode 4 at least. Which is when I got into a big scripted fight with several tough enemies and not enough ammo and no way to go back or get more and after 5 futile attempts I dropped that poo poo forever. Raid mode was cool but I didn't play REvelations 1 so I can't compare. 2/5

I felt the coop was much better in 5. 6 was the game that stuffed Helena into a room while Leon fought the boss and had a campaign where coop was added later due to people complaining. The problem with re6 is that you have to dig through a bunch of poo poo to get to some solid gameplay because for some reason they loaded the game up with gimmicky poo poo.
