homeless snail posted:I feel bad for the cuphead guys, cause they ended up delaying their game by two years, remortgaged their houses, and totally compromised the design of their game because dummies had a negative reaction when they revealed it was a boss rush thing It's not their fault at all. MS are payrolling the game and they demanded it should be fleshed out once they realized that their platform has no actual decent exclusive full games so an oddball indie thing wasn't that much of a get. The devs wanted to make a boss rush game with a cool artstyle but now they are making a lovely generic platform game that will be forgotten about in a week.

homeless snail posted:there was also the story about the phantom dust sequel where it started out as a super low budget multiplayer only game and some MS dude got on a podcast and talked a lot of poo poo about how it was gonna have a 40 hour JRPG story mode and unilaterally changed the scope of the project without increasing the budget it feels like it was just yesterday that scalebound was announced, showed a really weird gameplay demo that was an unplayable mash of five different games and then got canned, nearly killing platinum if nier hadn't been insanely popular

DLC Inc posted:no loving way It delivered on the first, but not on the second. While the conversational system and facial animation is perhaps the best I’ve ever seen in a video game, the game play is maddeningly flawed. Call it Mass Defect. But here’s where it breaks down. The tactical play is horrendous. That wasn’t so evident on the early Eden Prime level, but once you’re off in the missions to other planets, it becomes overwhelmingly bad. You feel like you’re fighting with extremely incapable soldiers. Maybe this game is just my Vietnam War of video games. I’m stuck in the middle. And I don’t think I’ll ever get out. It has beaten me. And you? If you’re into good game play as much as I am, you should forget about this one. Update: When so many readers wrote in to tell me that I messed up my review of Mass Effect, I had to take a second look. It turns out, you were right. I was wrong. I owe an apology to you for writing a bad review. I also apologize to BioWare, which made a better game than I thought, and gulp, to Microsoft. The game play is not as flawed as I thought. The dumb thing about the way I played the game, as many pointed out, is that I didn't make use of my Talent Points. I started the game doing so, but while on Feros, I didn't pay attention to all the Talent Points I was accumulating after every encounter. Those points just sat there. They were waiting for me to assign them to specific character trait improvements...A lot of positive effects flowed from this expanded repertoire in game play.

I'm trying to think of a game that I gave up on because I couldn't beat it to call my Vietnam but I'm struggling, the only thing that comes to mind is some samurai western thing I played on PS2 that I got to one of the later bosses and just had no idea how you were supposed to beat him.

For some reason role playing two separate characters felt weird to me in the original, uh, Original Sin. Obviously I didn't have anyone to co op with.

Early access peeps seem very hype on it so far and the amount of depth to the character customization looks unreal. I watched a preview of some dude playing a character that made blood puddles appear everywhere, then another character in the party would zap the blood puddles and electrocute enemies who were standing in it. And that was just one kooky example of the interactivity in combat.

Man don't use the phrase "Tingleverse", now I want a Cinematic Tingleverse. Samuel L Jackson appears from the shadows in a Tingle outfit with an eye patch to talk to you about the "Tingle Initiative".

Alien: Isolation, I guess. I gave up in Medical which seemed like the first area the game let the xenomorph loose on. No matter how carefully I moved the alien was always up my rear end in a top hat. It felt pretty joyless but I might be bad at video games.

Turn down the difficulty for that section and turn it back up once you leave.

That's one game that I think really could have benefited from an auto-difficulty setting because when you die too many times it ironically snaps you out of the tension and ceases to be scary.

Having just finished it last week that was probably the worst part of the game. It's still a pain in the rear end sometimes but once you get the flamethrower it's a lot more manageable.

I mean, calling that his video game Vietnam was rather apropos, considering it was a debacle based on a complete misunderstanding of the situation on the ground due to willful blindness and made him look arrogant and foolish in the eyes of the world
