I watched simone and pat play cuphead and they loved it but polygon is giving the review to chris plante who afaik hates hard games, so it's probably getting a low score from them

I'm honestly shocked that Cuphead is actually being released. It seemed like one of those ~cursed games~.

Yeah man, I'm actually surprised that Cuphead is finally coming out. I was hype for this game...like 5 loving years ago.

ff14 is infinite times better than WoW and every other MMO i've tried, as in, i actually enjoyed playing ff14 at all. it's pretty, and cool, and pretty cool, and i didn't even get to "the good parts"

Nah, it really is just WoW with a FF skin and a few different design choices, some of which aren't better.

Which is fine.

Random thought that appeared in my broken brain a bit ago. I've enjoyed some exploration games, or as some people call them, "walking simulators," like Tacoma. Are there any games like that set in a dungeon or ruins type setting? It can have a little combat, but I'd like the focus to be on exploration. They don't need to be spooky or horror themed, but they can be.

Ive always wanted to hear technicals about the spaghetti code of RD1. While you can hear that term all day im sure it doesnt cover how that poo poo probably is. I bet it's fascinating :allears:

Which is fine.

I disagree, ff14 has a straightforward story, the base and all expansions bridging quite well.

No one knows what the gently caress is happening in WoW leveling up or why the gently caress your doing anything until your at current content.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
I stumbled onto the end of NEO Scavenger and it left me kind of disappointed. For such a large game with interesting survival and crafting mechanics, along with skills that can be used in various ways throughout the rest of the game, there is only one ending that isn't death and it can be achieved with a multi-tool, a couple of potato chip bags and a handful of string. Almost worse is the fact that there are a few ways of triggering the end but there's no difference aside from a few lines of text. There's an info dump where there's more information than is possible to ingest in one run followed by some narrative and a New Game option. It's definitely the type of game where I was expecting multiple endings based on whether my character decided to work for one group over another, kind of like Escape Velocity Nova, but as it is I'm drained of my enthusiasm to even get to the main commercial hub of the game because no matter what I do the ending will be the same as the one I fell rear end backwards into.

Just... so much detail put into every other aspect except for the plot's design. To the developer's credit, I found a Reddit post where he cops to knowing that it's a weakness and hopes to learn from it for his next game.

E: Like, if you're going to make the player choose between learning about their character or learning about their world, include a payoff from that choice.

Welp, the snes classics went on sale at the local walmart at midnight, and they were already sold out when I got there at 11:30. I'm not sure I can take Reggie's word on the supply this time around, so I'm sure we can look forward to another round of absurd resale prices. I don't want one enough to camp out in front of Best Buy or Gamestop for hours, gently caress that noise.

Like, the reason counterstrike works as a competitive game is because it's so loving slow, and you can see and understand everything happening. Overwatch is a mess visually and you can't tell what's happening when a bunch of poo poo goes off at once.

If you can handle getting chased by a monster occasionally this is the concept behind Amnesia. A Machine for Pigs is less horror, more walking as it was developed by The Chinese Room who basically created the modern walking simulator.

that and it's completely unwatchable. There is way too much poo poo going on at all times and effects all over the entire screen. At least CS:GO and League are relatively slow and easy to parse. Overwatch is just insanity.

edit: kinda beaten. but to expand on this, CS:GO is my President Bartlet "Sport" that I turn on in the background to decompress at the end of a day.
