ME Andromeda has a lot of problems, and it's clear the developers didn't care as much about it as they did the first trilogy despite stealing most of the plot points from it. I hated how they re-used the same flora and fauna across the entire galaxy. Also, no Quarians?! Terrible. But it was worth the $8 I paid for it.

I thought ME gunplay felt terrible in the demo, so combine that with bad and/or so bad its campy story...no thanks. Maybe it's just my playstyle but I played the first trilogy the same way and now it sucks so, enjoy if you can, theres infinite more games out there.

beep by grandpa posted:Every movie I've been to in the last 5 years everyone going makes a push to not do 3D unless that's all that's available. How about you? The only movie I can think of where 3D added to the experience was Avatar and that was almost 10 years ago. That's because Avatar was one of the very few movies that was properly filmed in 3D, i.e. with two physical cameras, one for each eye. Literally 99.9% of all 3D movies are actually filmed with a single camera and then converted to 3D in post as an approximation of the effect. Why? It's incredibly expensive to film in 3D for real, so once the studios figured out it was much cheaper to get a company in India to do the conversion everyone did this. As a result the quality of 3D films declined and the experience was rubbished.

Quantum of Phallus posted:Jesus Christ the graphics in Detroit are INSANE. The lead writer on Detroit just did an interview to make sure people knew that David Cage didn't write this one by himself. Everybody knows he's a hack, so they're trying to calm people's fears. From the interview: 1. It’s a hugely collaborative story Quantic Dream’s founder, David Cage, may have been central to Detroit: Become Human’s creation, but the tale of finding humanity within androids turning ‘deviant’ was a team effort. “David was very keen on making this the most collaborative – and interactive – thing he’s ever done,” explains Adam, who previously worked as a television writer, which also included producing pilots for the BBC. “I was brought in to help him finish and elaborate on the story. “At the same time, lots of the team pitched in. For example, the composers of the game had a huge input in working on the emotional grammar of the scene, and how the scene could be played out. https://blog.eu.playstation.com/2018/05/23/how-detroit-become-humans-narrative-team-brought-a-world-of-androids-to-life/

It's not even campy, it's just a barebones plot that is wholly uninteresting and full of plot holes you could steer a Mako through. It also has all of one, maybe two, characters that aren't one-note or dull as dishwater.

According to Eurogamer (who are one of the only review outlets I trust) this just means it doesn't go blindingly insane in the final act or try to pull pointless non-linear narratives etc. It's still clumsy and really doesn't lend proper respect to or take advantage of the social movements it's aping.

My favourite demonstration of the caliber of writing in Mass Effect Andromeda is they designed a whole new signature helmet for the Ryders just so it would break for the intro's Dramatic Moment.

As bad as MEA was this is like, Cinema Sins level nitpicking. If they had an old style helmet they would have just made it break in a less visually engaging way. The new helmet style made it extremely clear what was happening for visual shorthand and didn't require a technobabble "My helmet's gleepglorp has come undone and I will die without a new helmet!" line of lovely dialogue.

David Cage makes interactive stories that take themselves seriously despite being silly. I don't think they're bad games, though, but they're not the best. His studio was also creepy with Ellen Page in Beyond: Two Souls.

When a piece of your protagonist's gear only exists for it to fail due to a deliberate glaring flaw, it is a bad design. Especially when it's made to replace a competently designed version, and has to continue to be used for the rest of the game. "The helmet broke because it's designed to break" is also just bad storytelling.

Which means that in the first one of his I played, a detective hosed a zombie murder suspect who went on to kung fu fight the internet. He did Telltale poo poo before Telltale did it, and the fact you get a flowchart this time around loving rules. He also is big into virtual actors, and this time it looks like the tech is on point. Also, the actress who plays Kara was amazing on The Tick.
