exquisite tea posted:It's a very simple game that freely invites the player to help construct its own significance. Your connection to Journey is very tied up in what emotional state you're in when you play it. Many see it as a metaphor for accepting death, or recovering from an illness/addiction, and if you're in that vulnerable state of mind, it's easy to see how you can draw a lot of meaning from the narrative. If you're not really thinking about those things or not at all invested in its storytelling then it will of course seem like a really sparse experience. I didn't pay attention to any of the symbolibabble you can interpret from the game and still think it's one of the best experiences I've ever played. Austin wintory is a hero and the vast amount of care that went into the game's presentation is evident after playing it for a matter of seconds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7307qRmlMI If only action games actually cared about their camera this much.

This is actually the leaked intro for the next Zelda game. I mean it's pretty much how the last few Zelda games started.

You play as Republic Troopers in the siege of Naboo which canonically makes no sense. gently caress this game.

I said come in! posted:You play as Republic Troopers in the siege of Naboo which canonically makes no sense. gently caress this game. They have Darth Maul fighting Rey. None of this is canon. Also it could always be some OTHER siege of Naboo that happened later! Its not like after Episode 1 Naboo just "lived happily ever after"

The space battle stuff looks nice. Also the actress playing the protagonist in the story mode hung out with the Giant Bomb crew and seemed pretty cool

disney patched 64 player multiplayer back into og battlefront 2 so just buy that and call 63 of your friends together

I do wonder which will make more people angrier, the noncanonical battles in Battlefront 2 (the new one) or black women fighting for the Germans in CoD: WWII (the new one)

Viewtiful Jew posted:This is actually the leaked intro for the next Zelda game. It really highlights how amazing A Link to the Past's intro was. It's dark and stormy, a mysterious voice calls you out of bed to face an army barehanded, then you come across your dying uncle who tells you to gently caress poo poo up. I don't know why the 3D games insist on such obnoxious world building. At least BotW eschews the forced segments for making the entire first roadblock an extended tutorial.

The gameplay is pretty fun in Battlefront 2 but the cards are extremely bad and dumb so I'll skip it.

I would be more interested in Battlefront 2 if I had faith that DICE could deliver a good single player campaign, but i've yet to like any of the campaigns they have made for their games.

I would say that affecting game balance like that would be a bad thing, but in this case, what game balance

babypolis posted:i am constantly baffled by this new trend of referring to power ups or customization as cards I think there's a better psychological association with a "booster pack" than there is with a "loot box" for a lot of people. The former is a concept I've been familiar with for, like, decades, the latter sounds like some bull poo poo even if they're functionally identical. It's lame but true

It's also because of cross-pollination with the card system in sports games like FIFA which have been doing it for almost a decade

I've never understood the appeal of collecting cards from random packs. Even as a kid that played card games I got frustrated buying booster packs and just wished I could get the cards I actually wanted. That's ultimately the reason I quit playing them.

it's like gambling for kids, except the payout is being able to brag to your friends

babypolis posted:that might be true but that should only apply to nerds like us, a lot of the games doing this are for normies Yeah this is true. I'm gonna say Madden was probably the game that made it mainstream, Ultimate Team mode was added in 2009 so that way predates Hearthsotne and stuff edit: at least in the west. Not sure when the Japanese gacha mobile game took off

I am interested to see how people will continue to defend loot boxes now that it is abundantly clear that they are negatively affecting the design and increasingly balance of games.
