Olive Garden tonight! posted:Christ Strix, what are you playing? Root Double! It's a good visual novel about people trapped in a melting down nuclear power plant, with psychic shenanigans and other conspiracy things going on. It's good....at least, I'd say so, but I'm trapped in Route B, which is about what the high schoolers were doing before this disaster, and since they're all in psychic school, the game is info-dumping on me by having me witness the lectures from their teacher multiple times.  I've been assured that it picks back up once I'm through the slice of life and infodump scenes, but oh man it's a slog getting there. I want to go back to A route, which at least had more firefighting!

Part of what made previous Harmonix games great and how the new Amplitude dropped the ball was that it's great to mess around with music that is generally popular. I wish there were a video game version of this though

I wish there were a video game version of this though It's a really cool idea and Harmonix stands to make a buttload if they continue to support it and release card packs. Unsure about the big proprietary peripheral, but... well, I guess it's worked for them before.

It's scratching an itch similar to 999, and it's real nice to play a game where I don't have to focus and be good at it for once - which is really nice after a stressful day.

Welp, my willpower broke and I preordered Nier on Steam since I could still get it on sale through GreenManGaming. The store page boasts of its 60fps so here's hoping. This will comfortably last until Persona 5 comes out I think, especially since I don't plan to binge on it like how I basically beat Horizon over a weekend

I have no idea why, but every time I see more and more janky footage of ME:A it makes me want it even more. It looks like it will be the goofy bad bmovie space opera that I hoped it would be.

God drat it, BioWare, you had such a slam-dunk of a concept with Andromeda and it looks like you've been bound and determined to gently caress it up the whole time Like, why did you have to finally make a game where I can use biotics to grab a dude and then throw that dude at some other dudes as a projectile, but then also apparently just stick the whole thing together with scotch tape and hope for the best?

Bioware's trying to see how little effort they can put in a AAA title and still have it sell well and be positively reviewed.

Isn't it on a new engine with a mostly new dev team? Because that's about what it looks like. I'm sure they tried real hard

If this is the same Frostbite that's used in other EA games, that's all the more puzzling because the environments, at least, looks incredible in games like Battlefield and Battlefront. I know they are entirely different types of projects, but that engine is capable of making MUCH prettier games than what's coming out of ME: A.

Maybe all the current AAA franchises are dying away to be replaced by brand new franchises and those never considered AAA: HZD, Nier automata, Snipperclips.

The poo poo I'm seeing from streams basically boiling down to "combat better, everything else character, animation, and storywise horrid" so I guess this is the Xenoblade Chronicles X of the ME series

from what I see people are bandwagoning on this andromeda being bad scene since before the game was even announced and now they have some glitches to make fun of. If it has amazing outer space visuals and mass effect gameplay I will probably get it at some point. I personally have been smdh at how bad the mass effect writing is since me1. But me2 is still one of my favorite games

I've never bought a bioware game at release or for full price and I will continue this trend. I'd rather drop the dough for a ps4 just for HZD instead of getting Andromeda at full price.

It's not just goons dogpiling a game, Andromeda's 10-hour preview has also been getting savaged by Gamespot, RPS, PC Gamer and Giant Bomb. And when you consider that most of these sites are just glorified hype machines that doesn't bode well.

I binged through the entire ME trilogy during a really lovely time in my life and I had a generally awesome time with those games so I will pick up Andromeda probably sometime this summer when there's a decent discount. I'm having enough trouble balancing my time with Zelda right now (and I'm only through 2 dungeons!) but Andromeda will hopefully be a fun little single player space adventure to play when i need a break from Splatoon 2. I'm rooting for it, but these impressions are concerning.

I am not sure where my opinion on ME:A will fall. ME1 is a G5F4 ME2 is a G2F2 ME3 is a G5F5. This is how I view the series so if I dislike ME:A as well then you know it's not dogpiling.

VideoGames is playing 12-dimensional chess with his review system now. It's the only way to give a fair and balanced perspective.
