VolticSurge posted:I just don't trust a dev that's afraid of people showing its game off,is all. It's perfectly fine to say what Atlus is doing is stupid but you're not really boycotting unless you're willing to follow through on it with the companies who are even more extreme about it. (Including the companies who, for example, block streaming of PS4 games which includes Bandai-Namco and Square-Enix and companies who block streams like Nintendo.) Also speaking as someone who has gotten guidelines for what can and can't be shown off in games what Atlus asked is actually super common, they're just stupid enough to think they can apply it to everyone who purchased their game. As it stands going "I'm boycotting Atlus!!" feels bizarre like you've been ignoring all the other companies doing this until now. If you want to play Persona 5 then play Persona 5. If you want to boycott companies that try to adhere to stupid streaming rules then do so. Edit: and I say this as someone who also got their Youtube channel smashed by Atlus JPN when I tried to post videos of the opening segment of the game back when the Japanese version came out too. They've been doing this for six months so far. ImpAtom has a new favorite as of 20:33 on Apr 5, 2017 |

So it didn't matter that you went one place over the other, the money was going to the same place. There is no ethical consumption under capitalism, the only way to survive is to ignore it and face to bloodshed.

Holy mother of Christ, who gives a poo poo? I like / don't like thing for arbitrary reasons that are my reasons. Nobody needs to justify their opinions. I don't buy games if they aren't available on Steam of GoG. Not because I hate Ubisoft or whomever, but because I can't be bothered to install four front-ends just to play games. And GoG's is optional. Who cares? I could just as easily say "I don't buy bioware games because of what they did with Dragon Age II" but it's really because I can't get it through Steam but it really really doesn't matter. I'm getting mad at people getting mad about video games. PYF thing - War for the Overworld] is Dungeon Keeper 3 in all but name. Everything about it is a call-back to the classic but better. They just released a My Pet Dungeon DLC which is the very thing I was wanting for it. No pressure, complete control, you can build everything you ever wanted then pick and choose what heroes you want to attack, if any. It's like they understand their audience and want to build things that they will enjoy playing.

Blocking streaming is a thing that companies have been doing since before consoles had native stream capability. Being tied into the system just gives them more control over when and how. And this poo poo has been going on a while now. Getting mad because Atlus did what koei-tecmo, Activision, Rocksteady/WB and a host of other people have done is dumb. Also, VolticSurge, that is the dumbest excuse for gamblers fallacy I've seen in a while. You already paid them, then paid Gamestop when someone buys your old copy. That's a dumb boycott. Getting back to little things in games, one of the weapons in Nier will cheer and make fight noises when you max out its level. Its amazing, like having a personal hype-man for your fights.

Another great one is the Beast series of weapons that give you Wolverine-like aftereffects on your weapons with each swing. I don't even think they do anything, its just cool. Also, I think I saw it on Pat from Two Best Friends, but certain weapon setups turn into specific styles. Two short swords makes you a dual-wielder, a spear and large sword combo turn you into a pole dancer, and double bracers makes you Star Platinum. Its a very nice detail.

bitterandtwisted posted:So much effort went into characterising the campers and I wish they'd had a bigger role. Personally I think the biggest flaw with Psychonauts is that after you beat a level, it just dies. The fun color and charm of it all is just gone and it makes collecting things or replaying any of it just not fun. Somfin posted:I love the baseball bat that makes damage numbers comically huge, puts a comic book pow behind its colossally boosted critical hits, and turns all of the old, rusty loot boxes into out-of-place red-and-gold video game treasure chests. It is a dragon quest reference and I love it. It also makes the healing numbers into big bright green cartoon numbers as well. There's also a sword that's a reference to FFXV and it turns your dodge into the cool blue teleport thing and makes all the damage numbers blue. You can use them both at the same time. RagnarokAngel posted:It just seems really silly to get that worked up about as if it's on par with EA or Ubisoft abuse of it's employees or something. I don't buy capcom games anymore because they've tried to sell the endings of games as DLC like twice now and sold the entire second half of Operation Raccoon City as DLC despite marketing it heavily and keep pulling other shady things such as getting caught with all their fighting game DLC on the disk, saying they'll never do it again and doing it again. I wouldn't even really call it a boycott. I'm just tired of that poo poo happening and I can stand to not play Resident Evil anymore.

The fun color and charm of it all is just gone and it makes collecting things or replaying any of it just not fun. Speaking of collecting things, I love the art work for the figments. Basically figments are just brightly colored random doodles usually based on the levels theme, really adds a lot of charm to the levels - although at times, they can be rather hard to see.

poptart_fairy posted:While the gameplay doesn't match up with the tone at times, Watch_Dogs 2's story is so wonderfully silly I'm getting similar grins from it I did in Saints Row 4. Sure going on a murder spree completely contradicts the "dorky hackers who steal not-Knight Rider" shenanigans, but it's great. You still have to deal with people knowing all the perfect hiding spots though.

Games really should punish that poo poo. If you alt-f4 at less than 10% health it should count as a loss and you get the "whiny piss baby" tag added to your name for 30 days as a warning to others. Aleph Null posted:PYF thing - War for the Overworld] is Dungeon Keeper 3 in all but name. Just checked a few screenshots of the game and, wow, it really is. And may I just say, about damned time! Dungeon Keeper was so much fun. I remember once, in DK2, a massive hero invasion had just penetrated my outer walls and I was completely unable to stop it because Diso Inferno had just started playing and every single one of my minions was disco daning their evil little hearts out.
