My vacuum cleaner broke down a couple days ago and I was browsing for a fairly expensive and quiet model until I somehow wound up looking at video games. Magically ended up spending my paycheck leftovers on Horizon Zero Dawn and Nier Automata, limited editions of both too. I'm sure vacuuming aint even that important when you think about it

Square-Enix certainly shocked everyone by returning to their JRPG roots with FFXV. Just think, last year we had a good new Final Fantasy and this year we'll have a good new Dragon Quest. It's like a harmonic convergence festival with bunny ears on.

bloodychill posted:oddium, I suggest giving Fez a try if you ever have a chance, despite Phil Fish's rightly earned reputation for being a dolt. It has a few decent cryptography puzzles in addition to a great soundtrack. I played Fez years ago but I remember it having this weird mix of like, mostly fairly standard platforming-based puzzles that built steadily on the core mechanic of rotating the world, and then a bunch of very weird and abstract puzzles that were very difficult to wrap your head around; and not really any middle ground between those two puzzle types to sorta ease you into the more esoteric stuff.

Yeah this is pretty much the Fez Experience. When I played it my roommate kept talking about how awesome it is, but he's really into solving puzzles like that. I didn't have as much patience for it so I had fun doing the "easy" puzzles and just cheated with a guide for the real cryptic ones. Also the music is just  goddamn. One of the best electronic game soundtracks this side of Tetrisphere.

Also the PS4's massive install base means it's real dumb to not translate an existing project, the cost of opportunity vs. the potential reward should look a lot better to their shareholders than "Let's finance another dead IP and cross our fingers"

Bosses you have to put some work into enabling chipping away at their health bar are OK, bosses whose vulnerability periods are under the game's control and unpredictable are bad.

I'm struggling with that right now as well with the final boss of Oath in Felghana, which is doubly annoying because even if you can successfully dodge all his patterns it's pure Rng on whether or not the specific circumstances will allow you to get hits in the second phase.

For some asinine reason they decided that it would be fun if you had to play a bomberman game with a zoomed in and canted camera angle so you could never actually see the entire level

The graphics look like rear end somehow, when it should be easy to crank out decent looking assets for a Bomberman game.

haveblue posted:Bosses you have to put some work into enabling chipping away at their health bar are OK, bosses whose vulnerability periods are under the game's control and unpredictable are bad. Yeah, if you have to do something to make the boss drop it's invulnerability, that's fine. Because you're actually doing something in the fight. But if nothing you do effects it, and you're just waiting or dodging attacks until the next vulnerable moment, that's terrible and I hate it.

Overcharting bugs the poo poo out of me, especially since I actually play guitar. Things like charting chords as three rapid strums on one button? What even is that?
