I just mean like, the completely juvenile attempt at emotional manipulation while also making the war even more of a setting than usual. Like hundreds of people dying on both sides constantly was accepted by the 5 major characters as the setting and we were only supposed to care about the Dawson's creek level dramatic writing between those 5 characters. It just felt really weird.

The sooner you accept that enemies in the COD campaigns are paper targets with slightly more mobility and nothing more unless they have a name, the sooner you will be able to play them and have fun instead of thinking about how many orphans and widows you have created

I played through the tutorial case and the first case of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney this morning, and I thought it was really good! No dumb adventure logic (I didn't have to rub stuff against random stuff), and the pacing of the dialogue and the twists and turns is absolutely delightful. Does the rest of game (and the two following games, Justice For All and Trials and Tribulations) more or less maintain that level of quality? The part I played through was free, so I'm wondering if it's worth the twenty-four dollars to just buy the whole set.

I don't give a poo poo about that. This isn't a "ludonarrative dissonance" argument. I mean the dialogue was literally like what someone in junior high would write to try to sound edgy and badass. Like the characters were in an 11 year old's concept if what war as a setting would be like. Then I got online and played multiplayer with a bunch of children born after 9/11 and felt really uncomfortable about the whole thing. There were some great Halloween dlcs though, where you could play as The Predator or Michael Myers in soecial game types...

I have never seen anyone actually playing guitar hero or other plastic guitar games in person. Every time, especially at parties, it would often be there but sitting collecting dust in a corner.

So did Last Guardian and Tides of Numenara end up being good? I'm extremely depressed today to the point of possibly quitting my job, maybe the rush of spending money will help.

Don't spend money if you think you might be quitting your job, please. The Last Guardian turned out to be pretty good. Torment: Tides of Numenera is not finished yet, so no opinion.

Yeah, early access games are bad times. There's no incentive or accountability for developers to finish their games when they are funded by people they don't have to answer to (Star Citizen and ARK to name a few). Torment: Tides of Numenera has been early access on Steam for over a year, although I guess it will finally be finished on Tuesday? The Steam page doesn't make this clear, but Google searching reveals that as the date.

I threw some money at the Grim Dawn dudes for early access but I think that was the exception to the rule because a) they had already released a very similar game in the past, and b) it was an ARPG, where replaying the game through patches and total build updates is more or less expected.

Lurdiak posted:Wowers, my friend really liked Night in the Woods! I haven't played it but everything about the game's aesthetic seems to be laser-targeted to the kind of people who use the term "adulting" unironically so I'm not surprised to see so much fanart of it in such a short amount of time. That and it seems like the perfect style to cram your OC/fursona into with minimal effort.

No dumb adventure logic (I didn't have to rub stuff against random stuff), and the pacing of the dialogue and the twists and turns is absolutely delightful. The tutorial case is super linear and obvious compared to the rest of the game(s), it also doesn't touch on the investigation segments of the game that suffers the most from occasionally from having to pixel hunt for items or brute-force every dialogue option and inventory item until you hit the magical trigger. That said they're still great games with good writing, humor, and minimal Japanese anime insensitivity/creepiness so if you liked the first case then go for it. Just savescum and/or use a guide if needed.

bloodychill posted:I have the App Store version. It's really good, but yeah, not exactly worth the investment if you don't already have a smart phone or tablet. Is it worth playing single player against the AI? Or do you play it with friends? I said come in! posted:Night in the Woods looks like a cute game and I want to play it. If you think it looks cute I think you'll like it. My wife is playing through it and really loving it. Its similar to Life Is Strange with the ages of the protagonists, the thoughtful personal interactions, and the tinge of fantasy realism. Night in the Woods hasn't hit any supernatural elements quite like LiS yet, although I think it's coming. So far it's a lot of walking and talking with some jumping, flavored with side elements of Guitar Hero and Hyper Light Drifter. I think that if you do not see the humor in the word "adulting" you probably won't enjoy the game, but it has good characters and dialogue and honestly you already know if the game is something you're into.

Only watched GB's Quick Look, but I was surprised to see that Night in the Woods is set "nowadays." Something about the visual and thematic aesthetic made me assume it was late 90s, early aughts, I guess.
