My only concern for when Gearbox inevitably capsizes is what will happen to the Homeworld IP.

Maybe they should've made a fun game for all those characters to be in and also not spent dumb amounts of money trying to make it an esports phenomenon. Maybe.

I would rather have a 110° dry heat day than a 85° day at 80% humidity. people call living hawaii paradise but it really isn't when it's 85-95+° out at 92% humidity, which it is almost every day between march and november ever since climate shift started and the wind stopped

It should be simple to make good VR games- take any of the good "experiences" and make them 8+ hours long instead of 1-2. Or identify AAA games that are going to get made anyway but could be compatible with VR and give them VR modes. Even if it's not the full game, value-add VR stuff like Tomb Raider did would make the device a lot more attractive. haveblue fucked around with this message at 01:33 on Apr 11, 2017 |

i heard massive chalice was one of the better games, and hack & slash is the one nobody likes i'd probably be more critical of broken age but i never finished it because for some reason after loving act 1, the moment i tried playing act 2 after waiting several months i lost all interest entirely i used to be pretty positive on costume quest but when i tried replaying it the combat was kind of bad, and costume quest 2 somehow looks even worse

act 2 is where the difficulty curve brings in the tougher puzzles and people apparently didn't want that, which is interesting since people's criticism of act 1 is it didn't have enough puzzles. i only had to look up two things, one of which was the snake falling asleep which i would have learned anyway had i just sat there, and that one of the wiring puzzles involved inverting the directions. and that was it. so it wasn't that they were hard? but i get not caring about where the story goes in act 2 since it's difficult to top the cliffhanger i got to a point in costume quest where my situation was just unwinnable and then when i got a new computer there apparently was no steam cloud saving so i'd have to start over. WOOPS!!! that and The Cave were the mediocre games in the old Doublefine era (while Stacking was king supreme)

Oh man, I was just talking in the PS4 thread about how I hadn't played a jrpg in a long time before Persona 5. I forgot that I played Costume Quest. The premise and art were cute, for like five minutes. Then it got super boring and I only finished it because it was short. I guess I also played and enjoyed Stick of Truth, but the actual combat gameplay was pretty rote

the problem with a point n click adventure for Normies is that they'll only accept puzzle design that is 100% sound and logical but when your puzzles are sound and logical then it stops forcing you to think and just becomes a series of fetch quests (oh a locked door? guess i need to get a key. something's high up? i remember an extremely obvious ladder 7 screens away, off i go). that's my general issue for modern P&C adventures, especially the ones Telltale did before they converted to a Visual Novel Development Studio. the puzzles are no more difficult than the ones in modern Hidden Object Games. it's snobbery to be sure but i just want adventure games to be tough with gentle hint systems, and if i want to not think while doing a P&C adventure i'll kick up an Artifex Mundi game i'm not saying i want games to have cat hair mustache puzzles but i want them to have puzzles that at least don't boil down to "fetch obvious thing to solve obvious puzzle" because then you may as well have glowing arrows on the ground and waypoint markers The 7th Guest fucked around with this message at 01:41 on Apr 11, 2017 |

Holy poo poo today's daily challenge in Binding of Isaac is awesome: For those of you not familiar with the game, that character's gimmick is that she can't attack by herself but she starts the game with a familiar that attacks for her and has a special ability that lets her double her number of followers. And in today's special mode she starts with a half-dozen additional familiars. It's like playing as the boss in a bullet hell game, especially when you've doubled (or more!) your followers and are weaving a conga line of death through the level.

Guy Goodbody posted:I'm really glad Kickstarter taught gamers that video game auteurs actually do need producers to keep them to a budget and schedule. At this point in time I think launching a Kickstarter for your game and marketing it using a Golden Oldie Game Developer could endanger your chances of getting a ton o' cash than if you were just a well-rounded group of seasoned people with decent pedigrees making a new title or spiritual successor or whatever. It's like, on another note I noticed that some of the things people have complained about the most in regards to Kickstarted games that actually get released but still aren't all that well received were originally included in said games as stretch-goals. The mandatory quiz-rounds, the 2D and 3D Mine Cart parts and the Mini-Game sections people are saying are the worst parts of playing YL? Stretch-goals. All the fluff Mighty No. 9 stuffed inside itself that never amounted to much and actually detracted from the overall experience like (but not limited to) voice acting? Stretch-goals.

are we categorizing all of mighty number 9 as a stretch goal also the additional campaigns for shovel knight are better than the vanilla game, and were stretch goals

"Trying to make it an esports phenomenon" isn't even in the top 10 problems with Battleborn. Number one would probably be a tie between "charging $60 MSRP for a game where half of the content is gated behind interminable grinding for in-game currency if you don't feel like paying real world money" and "making your game just generally not very good at all."
