Shibawanko posted:Third person action type AAA games tend to have hybrid gameplay that doesn't shine in any single aspect. This is probably one of the main problems with the Saint's Row games as they go on.

I think one of my problems with GTA and its alikes is they don't focus enough on the cars. Saint's Row IV made them obsolete, even a liability, but I felt they were the most fun part of 3 by far!

I guess that's an unpopular opinion itself. SR4 was one of the laziest games I've ever played. They literally just reskinned SR3 despite the world not being designed around super powers and the result is sloppy as hell. It felt like a DLC.

The protag in DQXI is distractingly bad, especially being surrounded by rad characters like Sylv and Rab. I love and have grown up with a lot of JRPGs, so I'm familiar with blank slate characters, but I've never seen anything so wooden in a video game in my life. Very much like it's kind of hard to get into Dark Souls when your first exposure to it was Bloodborne, I find it impossible to actually like God of War '18 because I played Hellblade first.

I've been trash talking it a bunch in this thread, but I've finally come round to God of war '18. It's only really because I've finally come to accept it as it's own thing and not God of war, but a lot of it is just that it does story in slightly more interesting ways than normal. Like, obviously the boy constantly being there, but then later various other "characters" join you, and they're all handled well. What's impressive, is that they're all handled well despite Kratos staying true to form as the most po faced angst driven rage goblin. Kratos cursing the stars for all their empty promises works as he murders Gods to avenge his dead wife in the previous games, but is positively hilarious in this one, while he's rowing a little boat with a young boy and a chipper talking head.

Yeah, I mostly hate medieval fantasy and my natural instinct is to dismiss it on sight, which would've been a shame because I absolutely love the asynchronous Dark Fantasy mold FROMSOFT has refined, and it doesn't really contain any of the standard High Fantasy diarheah. But if it wasn't for Bloodborne (among other things) I would've passed the whole thing up (I've now played almost everything that Miyazaki has worked on)

Dark Souls' setting worked well for me because the big interconnectedness of it and weird NPCs made it feel like a modern Zelda 1. Coming from Demon's Souls and its levels it was really cool.

Miyazaki said he used to play western games like Zelda as a kid in English, and he didn't speak English, so had to piece together what was going on, and wanted to emulate that sensation in his game.

Dark Souls 2's slower and more debilitate combat is better than 3's faster pace gameplay. I've liked none of the GTAs I've play (Vice City & IV), but really enjoyed Sleeping Dogs and Saints Row 4.

Not exactly sure what you're talking about. Inspiration for DeS and DS came from books he read as a child at the library because his parents couldn't afford to buy books, much less videogames, (and also from playing ICO at the suggestion of a friend while he was at Oracle) https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/mar/31/bloodborne-dark-souls-creator-hidetaka-miyazaki-interview https://www.ign.com/articles/2015/04/01/bloodborne-creator-describes-influences-and-game-design-history quote:After some cajoling, Miyazaki reveals that he grew up “tremendously poor” in the city of Shizuoka, 100 miles south-west of Tokyo. His office-worker parents couldn’t afford books or manga, so he had to borrow whatever he could find in the library. That’s why he ended up with works beyond his reading capabilities. “I found so much joy in those stories,” he says, seated in his Tokyo studio, having granted the Guardian a rare interview. “It was a rich reading experience, even if I wasn’t always reading.” quote:As for what makes Souls games such a distinct experience, Miyazaki pointed to an unlikely inspiration: his poor reading skills as a child. Struggling with reading forced Miyazaki to fill in the blanks with his own imagination; wading through obscurity to, in a way, co-author the story.

Games have become too big. Every AAA game now is some open world poo poo with 100s of hours of side quests and busy work that completely bog the game downGhost Leviathan posted:I feel 1st and 3rd person have some distinct gameplay differences that lend themselves to different gameplay styles, though harder to elaborate on exactly what they are. (besides 3rd person being obviously better for anything with complex stealth and platforming) If you are using ranged weapons you should be in first person. If you are using melee weapons you should be in 3rd person
