My sincere but unpopular opinion: you should not be able to field-revive dead squad mates in most video games, and similarly in most games you should just go "alive ----> dead" with no "downed" state in between. A downed/revive system is something that may make sense for a select few types of games but has absolutely no place in your average shooter/action game, imo. I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion among players or just designers though.

It's one of my least favorite things in TF2. I mean, it's helpful sometimes, but more often when I am waiting to respawn I'm mentally planning out my route to a more advantageous position; not expecting to be thrown right back into the meat grinder that just got me killed. Then there's the times where I just charged into a meat grinder because it's more useful to be a bullet sponge than to just suicide when I'm killing myself to reach a point close to spawn faster than walking there.

Twelve Batmans posted:Agreed. It's gotten to point where I seek out games I overlooked when I was younger specifically because I'm looking for something janky and weird that doesn't handle like a contemporary AAA game. poo poo like God Hand had obvious challenges (camera always being behind your back) but offered ways to provide information to the player that forced them to cobble together a method of reacting to what the game throws at you (radar system to catch enemies from the back and sides). Have you tried kid Icarus uprising

get that OUT of my face posted:gamepro was the pinnacle of video game reviews even though some of the ones they did were laughable. they gave that star wars fighting game for ps1 a very good score even though it was widely considered to suck balls. that probably had something to do with the fact that it was on the cover for the issue they reviewed it in The odd thing is that despite that I seem to recall that game being extremely popular after it came out. Maybe it was because it was a big exclusive with a brand that was rebuilding some mainstream pop culture popularity, fighting games were still pretty popular, etc. It's maybe the same way that stuff like the first TMNT game on the NES seemed to always be a highly popular game on the playground or in Nintendo Power for years.

The same way one guy in his house did the music, art, and programming for Cave Story and that is still a way better game than 99% of the indie pixel garbage shat out by start-ups commandeered by people with weird-colored hair/ear-gauges and white-board walls everywhere. Quantity isn't quality. You get one person who knows what they are doing and they are worth a whole company of "indie devs". Hell probably worth more I'd say.

Yeah most games are like this. Suikoden II's the same thing. BoF 3's was great though because the lure system, uses of fish, and all the varied sprites/info on them. 4's however cranked it up by giving you the choice of positioning around the lake/river/etc. and then allowing you fish in specific spots where certain fish were more likely to inhabit. I didn't even know I liked fishing mini-games until I played Breath of Fire.

Bass Masters Classic on the Genesis was the only fishing game I've ever really enjoyed. Best part was finding a hidden pond on the map and catching a bass so big that it near took up the entire screen.

all bioware games are basically just dating sims with either gun shooting interludes or magic shooting interludes. You could probably reskin mass effect or dragon age over eachother and they would barely change mechanically, and the romances are middle school level dogshit for idiots tbh

It's why I picked up the game when it was on sale for $15 with all the DLCs included. I enjoyed Origins' story, liked II's combat. I figured I might as well finish the trilogy with Inquisition, but the overall story direction is batshit insane. All I wanted to do was fight Darkspawn and save the loving world, not play diplomacy between mages and templars.

That has to be nepotism getting that person a job writing at that level. It's like a lesser known Baldwin brother riding on the coat-tails of Alec's latest hosed up tweet to land a lovely D movie gig but for video games. that's a relative of a producer or something

Indie games are the new DOS garage games. Its 90% shovelware with the remaining 10% being either obscure gems like Brigador or a competant development house w/ no publisher.
