Twelve Batmans posted:No FG has been terrible enough for me to switch to 3D fighters though. I'm sorry to hear that, man. Blech! Tekken actually owns a whole lot. I would've preferred if Street Fighter V was good instead, since Street Fighter is the series I started with and best at but I'm definitely having a ton of fun with Tekken, even if it's insanely complex even compared to other fighters.

Jack Trades posted:Tekken actually owns a whole lot. Yeah boy howdy. Tekken's so good. It's got supers and Akuma now- things Street Fighter has had since... the early 90's? I'm just loving. Tekken's alright I just don't like 3D fighters and every gimmick they put completely rubs me the wrong way. Everytime I watch a stream of it the supers just make me roll my eyes for how bland and same-y they all feel (especially in their use). SFV had a super lovely launch but now it's shaping up pretty well. If only they'd just forget Cammy (and add Dudley) as a character ever existed it'd probably become my second favorite SF.

Harrow posted:The reason I like Geralt is that he pretends to be tough and emotionless but he's actually a big soft-hearted goober who has no idea how to be a dad. Oddly enough that's a turn that a lot of 'gruff antiheroes with a well hidden heart of gold' take. IIRC Witchers play up that stereotype with the common folk in an attempt to be taken seriously.

the witcher 3 is really, really good, it's still GOTY from the year it was released until now.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Oddly enough that's a turn that a lot of 'gruff antiheroes with a well hidden heart of gold' take. Oh yeah, it's not super original or anything, I just think the combination of Geralt's voice acting (in English, at least, I have no idea about other language tracks) and the characters around him make it work out to be pretty fun in TW3 in particular. It helps make him a likable and at least somewhat interesting character, even if he isn't really a new take on anything at all. But I also do enjoy that this sort of thing is used in-universe by the Witchers for the reason you point out: an attempt to make sure everyone takes them seriously. If I remember correctly, Geralt thinks he's extra emotionless because of his extra-special mutations but I could be remembering that wrong.

Same is true for most types of universes in games. Sci fi games have the short haired armor man protagonist, star trek races and clunky steel ships instead of like some Stanislaw Lem type of poo poo which would be way more interesting. All soldier squad characters in games are also the same, always based on full metal jacket.

Is believing Elite: Dangerous is good an unpopular opinion still? I always felt like people judged that game against their wildest dreams of what they'd want to do in a space sandbox game (we all know what happens when someone tries to actually make that: nothing) instead of judging it on what it is. I've got a solid 200 hours in the game and plan to put more in, I feel like I easily got my $20 worth or whatever the hell I paid. The Steam reviews take the meme of "Don't play this lovely game, it sucks. 3,847 hours played" meme to the extremes.

elite dangerous is really good. I think most people imagine space sandboxes to be like, your personal episode of star trek or something, but the reality is space is big and boring. it's a lot of reading menus and intel, and the game does a lot to make things like dogfighting way more fun than they would ever be in real life. But hte reality is, if you don't want a "smoke weed and explore" simulator, a space-trucker simulator, or a dogfight simulator it's not gonna impress you.

I got Elite to try out in VR and it looks goddamn amazing. That being said, the gameplay revolves around waiting for your jump drive to energize, waiting for the jump to finish, waiting to dock, waiting to land, etc. Too much idle time to have your headset on for hours. At one point I got a program to play videos in the cockpit, but that's also when I realized it might just be too slow paced for VR.

It's this for a couple hours until you can buy an Eagle, then you can transition to being a pirate lord assassinator or space Maverick.

When you have a setting with magic and wonder and impossible poo poo, it's so ridiculously boring to constantly fall back on the Tolkien-as-filtered-through-D&D poo poo and yet that's all 99% of fantasy stories (in games and otherwise) do. It sucks

Well our alternative is basically Nu-Final Fantasy with people that become crystals if they don't complete tasks and a character whose weapon is his overcoat and now magical beings are motorcycles and boy band royalty roams the country side in their flying car looking for crazy little green men with lanterns and light-sabers. ...Yeah I guess that's better.

I will say that I don't mind it when fantasy settings take tired old things like dragons and put a weird spin on them that remains true to what A Dragon often represents while still being something unique. For example, Breath of Fire IV (the best Breath of Fire). Dragons are demigods that take a huge variety of weird and alien forms and are so powerful and important to the world that the very paths of peoples' lives are changed by being near one and the two most important characters (your protagonist and the main antagonist) struggle with how their divine dragon-ness is affecting the people they care about. Yeah, they're still "dragons," but ultimately have a unique look and a really compelling role in the setting. That's not to say that every attempt to do this is successful. Dragon Age tries to do a unique spin on elves, but really it's just kind of a tired "subversive" version of the elf, where instead of being special magic Tolkien elves, they actually lost all their cool magic ages and ages ago and now they're either barely surviving as nomadic tribes or living as an oppressed underclass in human cities. It's not as interesting as they think it is.

BoFIV is one of the best JRPG's. Beautiful spritework, amazing music, and a battle system so good that FFX ripped it off and made it suck. But yes your synopsis is pretty accurate in that Dragon is just a name for an other-worldly being that is a force of nature unto itself. Even the base dragon form is extremely unique in having dragon-fly wings and a slender, bug-like form. The world dragons are loving amazing in their design too.
