Kilometers Davis posted:If I was buying one today I would probably go for the Skyrim bundle. Seems like a great way to jump in and Skyrim VR is the coolest poo poo in the world. Thanks man that's what I'll aim to get then. Le Saboteur posted:Why would anyone buy fuckin PSVR at this point, that seems like a near dead peripheral as is. Hey gently caress you too buddy. I don't own a PC or a Samsung phone, so the other VR things aren't really an option for me. I use my PS4 for most things (streaming etc) and it's my main gaming console so if I want VR, PSVR is pretty much my only option as far as I can tell. Am I wrong?

Jimbot posted:I was going to post this. We live in a country where bringing up that institutionalized racism exists and there's a major social disparity between white and black citizens receives an extremely violent reaction at worse, and a completely skeptical denial one at best. Just look at the NFL kneeling reaction and that was just started with one man kneeling during the anthem. Such a simple, and very small protest that caused people to flip their lid. That said, I feel like they might be drawing attention away from those hardships by doing them poorly in a video game. Pretty much sums up my feeling! I will wait for user reviews to see just how bad Detroit can get. Maybe pick it up cheap.

acksplode posted:It's being marketed as a serious game with a serious plot where you get to make serious and impactful choices. It is not being presented as something where you should just turn your brain off and enjoy it man, even though that's probably the best way to play a Cage game. So when we make fun of it for being hamfisted and unsubtle with its allegory, we're evaluating it on the terms we've been invited to evaluate it on. edit: literally the first scene of the demo is the android character coming across a random fish flopping around on the floor for some reason, and being given the option to save it or not. makes u think.

It's not "intentionally misleading", David Cage really does think he's making brilliant, incisive art when the androids have to sit in the back of the bus and the black person says "you know this reminds me of what black people used to deal with" (but it's not about race so don't critique it for that please and thank you)

Won’t happen but It's one of the most incredible over-the-top action shooters of all time. The president is Hil Hil Clinton and she employs a cyborg chain-gun wielding WWF version of John McCain in a futuristic Cold War 2 against Russia and its Android V. Putin. You can smoke cigarettes like Solid Snake and then throw them onto the battlefield to draw the gunfire of Russian Robot Soldiers.

Aardark posted:I guess I don't really object to it, it's generally good that people are starting to evaluate games from a more mature perspective and within real-world context. Only the "hot take" nature of some of the criticisms seems a bit weird to me, like this was expected to be some amazing art game, and the news are just breaking now that David Cage is not that great of a writer. Spicy take dunking on Quantic Dream games is what you gotta do to be in the cool woke kids twitter club, get with the times dude

Infinite respect to the world they created though. The best and worst thing about Vanquish is that it looks like a cover shooter but it isn't at all. Cover is for catching your breath for a moment before you jump back out and resume kicking rear end in slow motion. There's a little hint in the first combat encounter where there's an obvious sniper perch with a sniper rifle, but if you use it to camp, the game immediately spawns two enemies right behind you. So it can trick you into playing in a way that's really unsatisfying, but once you understand how the combat system really works and you become an angel of death, it's amazing. You realize that all the grunts dying beside you are playing Gears of War but you're playing something much more Platinum-y, like if Bayonetta were a third-person shooter.

the worst thing about vanquish is that it's best with open arenas that let you take full advantage of your movement and then keeps shoving you in corridors or on tiny platforms or into a stealth section for some reason great ideas, awful campaign

CYOA feels like it would lend itself pretty well to (intentional) comedy. There's something absurd about seeing a person die different ways in multiple alternate realities. I dunno if anyone saw the Time Machine remake with Guy Pierce, but he keeps going back in time to save his fiancee from getting killed but she keeps dying in different ways no matter what he does, and after the third time the audience bust out laughing. Someone make a meta-CYOA where the protagonist jumps Rick-And-Morty style from one timeline to another when they realize they screwed up their current timeline. And maybe jump from one genre into another as if they were jumping between CYOA books.

Yeah I mostly got the hang of that but also probably not. I love cover shooters so I likely stuck mostly to the norm and felt underpowered. I do appreciate how they managed to take a third person shooter and Platinumize it. I remember the feel of the game being nicely snappy and giving you a solid amount of freedom in your approach. Either way I’m glad lots of people enjoyed it even if I couldn’t!

RBA Starblade posted:Was that the one where he just tosses her in the time machine, goes to the present, and she gets run over by a taxi? And later he goes to the future and sees the moon explode? That's the one. There's something about multiple timelines when you go above having two timelines which inherently dulls seriousness and deflates urgency. Groundhog Day capitalized on it and it was great. And even played with the notion of having too many timelines can get boring. Edge of Tomorrow very smartly played up the comedy when it got into the third and later replays, and then got rid of the time travel mechanic when it was time to get serious. Having only one chance to make a timeline work out right raises the stakes. When Dr Strange says that out of 14 million possible futures, only one works out for the good guys, it's serious. If we got to see a montage of the Avengers dying 14 million ways, it would have been comedy. Hire me as your comedy game designer, Quantic Dreams!
