Square is the worst video game company on the planet. Worse than EA, Ubisoft or any of the other companies people have a hate boner for. Square gives no fucks about anything. How many good series have they left to rot or completely destroyed with bad ideas and bad optimization. The most recent example being the abomination that is Just Cause 4, which has been gutted of all the fun things people liked and (surprise?) runs like hot garbage. If ports of a port of a port are your thing check out the over priced final fantasy ~remasters~ on steam. They poo poo on American gamers in the 16-bit era by thinking we are too stupid to understand their games, arrogance over profit. EA will at least acknowledge when they gently caress up if enough people bitch about it, not Square. Community relations are non-existent. You will play this poo poo and you will like it. gently caress Squaresoft.

I think Square is in the same place Capcom was a few years ago where they're run by senile old Japanese men who hate everything and stopped processing new information a decade ago and have chased off or demoted all their talent so Nomura is the only one left they trust to do anything.

Makes sense given how volatile video games can be and how expensive development can get these days, especially when you don't have any secondary businesses like the other major hardware producers.

QuarkJets posted:You'd have to have not played any of those games to have this opinion Games with "arenas" where floods of enemies come in and you have to dispatch them via circle strafing and projectile dodging. Yeah, sounds like doom 2016. Doom was about great level design, projectile dodging, and monster closets. The only real "arena" stages that I can think of are Dead Simple and The Courtyard.. and they're both in doom 2. Yes, Doom 2016 does have open areas with some light keycard management, and linear hallways with the occasional monster closet.. but it's closer to Serious Sam than Doom ever was. And even further from what doom 3 was.

Rutibex posted:games don't have "levels" any more, just elabourte corridors. backtracking, mazes, and keys are too complex for the modern gamer Tell that to Dusk, Amid Evil, and Ion Maiden. The AAA shooters tend to lean towards the way you're inferring, but the new PC FPS scene really is hunkering down on old school mechanics and gameplay. And I think that's for the better. As much as I actually did like doom 2016, it isn't the "return to classic FPS games" like everyone is clamoring it was. I'd argue Wolf 2014 was closer to that in that regard, and even then most of the game was still rooted in modern gaming tropes.

See the Metro franchise so far (I know they're going open world for the next one). Any middling open world game with a decent narrative could probably have been a better, tighter game if they'd narrowed the scope and spent less time on "you can walk to that mountain!" e: Recently played FPS for me on steam are HITMAN 2, New Vegas, Dishonored 1/2, Prey, Skyrim, GTA V, Alien Isolation. I haven't played a corridor shooter in years, apparently, and most of these are big levels with mazes and backtracking. Worst offender is GTA5 when you're locked into a mission. poverty goat fucked around with this message at 15:45 on Dec 28, 2018 |

I know you're an indie dev but I'm here literally just trying to learn blender and Unity for a project I'm poking with and it would be really nice to know things like "oh yeah your engine has a bunch of illicit reporting hooks". gently caress it, maybe I'll try UE4.
