MinibarMatchman posted:Scorpio is going to to funny because for all the power it wants to bring, Microsoft doesn't loving get it. PS2 was weaker than the Gamecube or the Xbox but it had a godlike library of games. Xbone alone already cancelled poo poo like Scalebound and Phantom Dust and has to look down the barrel of the ridiculous 2017 gluttony of PS4 exclusives. I really don't know what Microsoft is hoping to accomplish with Scorpio. I don't give a poo poo about 4K if there aren't good games to play in 4K, and the only Xbox exclusives I care about (Forza Horizon) are on PC now so if I did care about 4K I could just get a new video card instead of a Scorpio. 2017 is making me regret my decision to get an XB1 instead of a PS4 a few years ago. Also: Toy Commander was the poo poo and my Dreamcast was a better console than my Xbox One.

The Dreamcast was the second-best console of all time besides of course PC (the forever console).

To play devil's advocate, a lot of people said they didn't care about HD either at a similar point in that technology's lifecycle.

The only think Scorpio could possibly do that would be amazing would be to allow remote play from any windows device. Have a lovely old laptop with onboard graphics? No problem, stream Gears 5 from your Scorpio. And also, make it so that buying a windows platform game just means you own it on windows platforms, so you aren't splitting between Scorpio and PC purchases. That will never happen though.

Lakbay posted:Cute but I think only me and you played Rain World on SA I played it too! I'm liking it a lot despite how frustrating it is, often because of silly design decisions. Like, the best way to kill lizards is to throw a rock to stun them and then throw a spear into their belly, but the Slugcat prioritizes picking up spears first, meaning spears get thrown before rocks. If I didn't look up how double tapping X swaps items in your hands I don't know if I'd still be playing. Same with how you should never press A underwater even though that's what you do in every other game; while it speeds you up, it also takes your breath away and will kill you dead. But then you make a cool jump by holding onto a flying squid while baiting a smoke vulture to eat a lizard instead of you and all that annoying stuff doesn't feel that bad anymore.

Excepting the Wii U but idk where that falls I skipped most of that console generation and don't really feel like I missed much. I played some of the gems that came out and a good amount of PC games, but that whole era seemed like peak samey first/third-person shooter territory with precious few unique games. This gen wasn't shaping up so hot, either (a few gems but otherwise a bunch of HD rereleases or disappointments), and then the first few months of 2017 happened.

I just want to be clear, we're now arguing that the entire PS3/360/Wii U generation was one of the worst generations ever?

Then I found out I could've just gone down a pit. I also blew the only fast travel token I got on teleporting to the exact shelter I was already sleeping in so clearly I am just super at this game.

Until Mario Maker came out I didn't really bother with this generation, instead focusing on PS3 and PC titles in my backlog. I'm now paying the price for that slightly in that I now have like four PS4 titles I want to get through ASAP, but c'est la vie.

There have only been what, eight generations? "One of the worst" unavoidably covers a huge swath of gaming history.

It was the least exciting of the console generations during which I was actually playing games, I guess. I suppose I can't really compare it to pre-NES stuff because I wasn't playing games yet so I don't really have any experience there. It's probably just down to the kinds of games that I like. For me, NES, SNES/Genesis, PS1/N64, and PS2/Xbox/GameCube were crazy treasure troves of rad games everywhere. Maybe I also feel like the PS3/360/Wii generation was kinda crappy just because of how long it was around and, even though there were a lot of good games, they were pretty far between. I'm also probably taking a rosier look at the current generation because we're at the tail end of the "early 2017 good games everywhere" parade. EDIT: I should clarify I'm excluding handheld from all of this. I feel like DS/3DS/PSP/Vita are kind of in their own generations. Harrow fucked around with this message at 18:24 on Apr 13, 2017 |

Think of the fast travel token as a last resort or trophy, because they're tied to achievements/trophies which are hard to get in an already frustrating game

Maybe it's just me but it seems like there were a lot more weird/interesting games around before the 360/PS3/Wii era- games industry becoming more risk-averse during this time period? Indie games have kinda filled in that niche now though. Maybe I just wasn't paying attention or something

What is everyone playing today? I started a new game of P3 Portable last night to get my Persona fix while my wife was using the PS4. Then I woke up today and she was watching an anime about a cute ninja girl helping Nobunaga take over Japan I'm drowning in anime

x360/ps3 gen boils down to "a fair amount of great games that ran like loving poo poo on consoles and are better off being played on a PC" it got even worse when both consoles tried to ape an already-tired gimmick with motion controls, leading to possibly the worst 1 or 2 E3 conferences ever created. That Kinect E3 with all those games....holy poo poo

Indie games have kinda filled in that niche now though. Eh, that's definitely the vibe of a lot of the "what's up with the industry" articles people wrote during the 7th gen so I don't think you're wrong. The 7th generation is the one where development costs really started to balloon so publishers were less and less willing to take a chance on something kinda out-there. If you were paying attention to indie games there was plenty of cool stuff going on. And it's not like the 7th gen didn't have any unique, weird stuff. There were some good Platinum games (Mad World, Bayonetta, Vanquish, Metal Gear RIsing), for example. Demon's Souls was pretty out-there when it came out.

PS3/Wii/360 will probably be remembered by me as a lot of JRPGs (which probably aged the best all told of my PS3 library), a variety of Nintendo exclusives with some degree of motion control gimmicks, and duping myself into buying a 360 for Mass Effect because I thought that'd be the only place I should play it.

I'm just saying that in that generation alone we had: The Assassin's Creed franchise, most of the Arkham franchise, Bayonetta and Metal Gear Rising, the entire Bioshock franchise, Demon's Souls and the first two Dark Souls, both Mario Galaxy games, Donkey Kong Country Returns, both of the 'big' Elder Scrolls games, the entire Fallout revival, the entire Gears of War franchise, two Grand Theft Auto titles and Red Dead Redemption, the Uncharted franchise, The Last of Us, Little Big Planet, Borderlands, the entire Mass Effect franchise, the entire Left 4 dead franchise, Dishonored, the entire Dead Space franchise, Portal and Portal 2, X-COM, the entire Dead Rising franchise, Metal Gear Solid IV, it was the start of the major Indie revolution so stuff like Briad and Fez and Journey, and a little game called Minecraft which a lot of people seemed kind of okay with And that's discounting the tons of niche/mildly successful but still interesting titles like no fewer than 7 Atelier titles, Valkyria Chronicles, Tales of Graces/Vesperia/etc, Trails of Cold Steel, Mirror's Edge, the Witcher 2 (which is probably bigger these days thanks to W3), Hotline Miami, Telltale Games basically got their real start there... I mean you get the idea. I totally can understand it not being as exciting as the PS2 era, especially if you're a big JRPG dork like I am, but it was kind of an insane generation.

Although, I guess it's also probably worth noting that I'm comparing it to some pretty crazy good generations of games so being the worst one of the ones I can remember is a pretty weak criticism all told. Less "it was bad" and more "it was the least super rad," I think. And games like Gears of War might suffer in my hindsight because of how ubiquitous that kind of game became.
