The early God of War games were really just DMC clones. Also rip offs can be better than the originals.

I'm not sure it's possible to have a more ridiculous rage-fueled protagonist than Doomguy, but more games should try. Kratos doesn't even come close. I'd like God of War more of it was more frantic and slaughtery and the guy just ripped those demons apart with his bare hands and beat them to death with their own legs or something. Give me a protagonist that is a mix of like Doomguy, Rorschach, and Rick from Splatterhouse.

Speaking of Splatterhouse, more games should have their female lead(s) in tastefully nude centerfold shots.

SWTOR was much, much better at launch. The original Tracer Missile animation is the greatest gaming creation ever made.

Reminds me that The Ship was one of the most tragically forgotten multiplayer experiences I've ever had. Amazingly fun, super interesting premise. Basically Agatha Christie-esque murder simulator where a few dozen players run around old timey cruise ships with a target that they have to kill without being spotted, while simultaneously being hunted. The best was when it was just two players left but you both get spotted trying to kill each other, get thrown in jail with all your weapons confiscated and you both start desperately searching the cell for the single randomly generated shiv to mercilessly jab the other one to death. Good times.

SWTOR was completely ruined by the expansions when they decided that instead of staying inside the Old Republic, possibly the richest storytelling environment ever created in any medium, they'd go to some other empire the Sith Emperor created and force everyone into the same path. gently caress you assholes I want to be a Sith a run around Tattooine.

Announcer: You're on a scenic route through a state recreational area known as the human mind. You ask a passer-by for directions, only to find he has no face or something. Suddenly up ahead, a door in the road. You swerve, narrowly avoiding The Scary Door. [Scene: A scientist is in a Frankensteinesque laboratory mixing chemicals in a beaker.] Scientist: I have combined the DNA of the world's richest storytelling environments to make the most rich storytelling environment of them all!! [A pod reminiscent of the ones from the movie "The Fly" opens with a cloud of steam. It clears, revealing a naked human male.] Naked Man: It turns out it's the Old Republic.

said this already before but it bears repeating: we did not need another console after the original Xbox. Been playing through Panzer Dragoon Orta and Jet Set Radio Future and they're both loving gorgeous. Every game that's good now could have been made using mid-aughts tech and they would have been fine

They did that and it was, but it still needed a Switch to run which is quite a bit more powerful than an original Xbox. JSRF gets away with a lot thanks to its art style, and PDO is a rail shooter.

olives black posted:higher poly counts and resolution =! better looking. It's all in the animation and texture work. Resolution and stuff matters as far as matching the hardware you're using. Texture work can make a game look like poo poo when output at higher resolutions than it's designed for, and low resolution can gently caress up games that look great at higher resolutions and better lighting quality etc, where that better lighting can make a game that had previously good-looking textures look bad. Great examples of this for each side of that spectrum are Vagrant Story, which was rightly praised for its graphics at the time but with textures that scale VERY badly, and Super Mario Galaxy, which was designed around the basics of color and shape and therefore looks fantastic when emulated at higher resolutions. signalnoise fucked around with this message at 04:39 on Jul 8, 2018 |

Every game that's good now could have been made using mid-aughts tech and they would have been fine While on one hand I find this ridiculous, in a way I sorta agree. I feel that after Source Engine games (Half-Life 2, CounterStrike: Source, Team Fortress 2), graphical upgrades seem to "wow me" less and less. Similar to 2D games after the CPS2 (Street Fighter Alpha, Vampire Savior). I mean yeah, improvements are definitely noticeable, but I'm can be content with the old technology, and newer and newer stuff seems to "Wow!" me less. There have been select few games this generation that I look at and think to myself "Yeah this is definitely a huge leap graphically from PS3 titles." Well at least from the console ports I played on my PC. There's a reason why Nintendo has found success when they decided to focus on other aspects of hardware other than graphics. punk rebel ecks fucked around with this message at 09:36 on Jul 8, 2018 |

Well, we don't need video games. If his post was supposed to be some obtuse way of saying "3D games started to look pretty good around the Xbox era" sure. Railing against more modern tech existing just for the hell of it is stupid as gently caress
