Takahashi discusses disc 2 of Xenogears and explains why it ended up like so. http://kotaku.com/the-real-story-behind-xenogears-unfinished-disc-2-1796151112 quote:“Honestly speaking, what had happened is Xenogears as a project was staffed pretty much entirely out of new staff members, young staff members,” said Takahashi, speaking through a translator. “Back then, we had the direction of, ‘All projects take two years and that’s when we need to get it done.’ So on top of developing the game, we had to nurture and teach and grow these younger employees. Things like 3D were extremely new, which led to some delays in the schedule. It just wasn’t possible to get everything done.” Scalding Coffee fucked around with this message at 18:03 on Sep 26, 2017 |

You didn't even need to, you can do everything on your first run with plenty of time to spare. The only trouble spot is if you waste too much time on the poker game.

The fact that it's a game automatically means you'll be experiencing it differently than if you just watched the movie or read the book.

Frank West is a good character because he's mostly a serious type who's interested in saving lives and getting a story, and that naturally lends itself to having him take photos of people in dramatic situations i.e. a fun gameplay mechanic. But he's also a blank enough slate mixed with the wide palate of the Willamette Mall that he eventually becomes a sundress-wearing wrestler carrying eight gallons of orange juice and a broad sword. I love his hunched hustle, I love the way he protects his camera, and I love making routes that gather up a bunch of people and guiding them to safety like Moses if the Red Sea was made of zombies. DR1, DR2, and DR2:OTR are all really good games. Any time you have to face a vehicle sucks though. The prisoners in the Humvee, the helicopter, everyone on a motorcycle.

Capcom devs loving up Frank West from DR1 to DR4 falls in line with how badly they've ruined other flagship characters like Dante in DMC or Chris Redfield across multiple games, given how he looks like a different person in every goddamn game. Not even his current look in RE7 is in sync with the MVC appearance. It's probably for the best that they never make a Mega Man game again; he'll come out looking like that Halo Bomberman.

RE7 Chris I suppose has to be something with them needing an actual actor for "full mocap"or whatever for some weird technical reason (?) because he does look nothing like the old model. e: oh and chris also looked kinda similar to his old self in the newest CG RE movie which makes the RE7 change even more baffling and jarring. And talking about all this did remind me of how they've never had any idea what to do with Leon as a character, all of his iterations look and act very different. Best to just lie to yourself and imagine RE4 Leon was just a different character that went on to have more idiotic action movie adventures while his brooding doppelganger starred in the other things. Though in the CG movie Damnation he was also making a lot of bad jokes and actually that movie was really silly in general so maybe that is an exception smuh fucked around with this message at 19:04 on Sep 26, 2017 |

I don't hate him, his biggest problem is that he uses ranged attacks in a game balanced for close melee combat so it's a bit too easy just to blast through anything without too much risk and can get boring. He's good for Nightmare runs though

Game review scores are still broadly skewed toward the top end and way more forgiving of inoffensive, tentpole AAA releases while the indies tend to be more polarizing. The more niche stuff that only gets 10 reviews written about them also tend to do well because of selection bias.

It's almost as if reviewers feel emboldened to be appropriately critical of smaller budget games, yet for some reason treat massively marketed tentpole AAA franchises with kid gloves..

So they keep thrashing and re-designing things that were working and selling just perfectly fine.

That generally isn't actually the case. As mentioned before there's not a huge gap between big and sale releases review-wise in score. What happens instead is that there are fewer reviews and for indie stuff more likely to come from smaller publications in general and so they get more heavily weighted than they would for a large release. The "grade school' review score is pretty true but a major problem with indie stuff is getting a lot of reviews. The fewer reviews the easier it is for a small number of bad or negative reviews to have a disproportionate effect on your scores.

It has full Xbox controller support. Plays really good with Xbox controller. Controls are not mappable on Xbox either. I guess with an elite you could alter them though. The way they are setup is pretty instinctive. Anyone know what the push ups are for? The game owns also.
