Blizzard utterly suck at story telling. They always have and will. I played Warcraft two for the game, not for some third rate fantasy novel.

i, too, want it to be a souls game, but at the same time i've never played a from game that i didn't really enjoy and i played eternal ring they're pretty much the only studio where i am farily confident that even if i have trouble getting into the game there'll be enough depth and fun and secrets there to make it an experience worth playing at some point

google stadia is the absolute dumbest fuckin' idea and it's a shame because the good ideas (local splitscreen with no loss of fidelity, playable on almost any screen) are going to be overshadowed by the fact that the US has some of the shoddiest network infrastructure in the world

Yeah that's all fun until you realize that literally any postpubescent male is capable of doing any male Warcraft character voice Seriously, you, your dad, and your 15 year old nephew could each singlehandedly replace the VAs for the orcs, peasants, Uther, and lich king Devils Affricate fucked around with this message at 23:56 on Mar 21, 2019 |

Devils Affricate posted:Yeah that's all fun until you realize that literally any postpubescent male is capable of doing any male Warcraft character voice I mean, yeah. It's a bunch of dorks playing with microphones because hiring voice actors wasn't something that got done back then. And it fits really well with the cartoony aesthetic the graphics present. Just because it's not done by trained voice professionals or hard to do doesn't make it any less fun.

There is nothing wrong with an "afterschool d&d game" kind of storytelling and voice acting in games, if you want a real story with voice acting go see a play or something idk.

Time_pants posted:Because Enter the Gungeon is slow-paced, stingy as hell with keys and even stingier with good weapons, has like maybe two bosses that are actually fun to fight, none of the characters are all that meaningfully different from each other after like the second floor, the player never feels powerful short of lucking into one of maybe three or four guns in the entire game, and it seems like the entire design philosophy is to thwart the player rather than challenge the player. Almost every run I did in that game I felt like a demigod after the 4th floor especially if I was playing the pilot. Some characters were worse (robot and marine always felt pretty stingy on ammo which hampered the runs to the end). With that said, I agree with you for the first maybe 20 hours i.e before you unlock most of the guns from the store.

30 FPS is fine if the game is good. 60+ FPS doesn't matter if the game is bad.

Blizzard sucks now Valve Sucks now Bioware sucks now Those guys that did Halo sucks now But iD/Bethesda software is having a resurgance, which I love. Doom 2016 was one of the best games released that year and one of the best shooters EVER made. The sequel looks to be even cooler Collapsing Farts fucked around with this message at 12:21 on Mar 22, 2019 |

The fact that the audience goes completely nuts at the end as well is soooo good. That's what you want your audience to do when you showcase a game. Not the horrible silence when you introduce your latest mobile phone cashin like Blizzard did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ly10r6m_-n8 Collapsing Farts fucked around with this message at 12:23 on Mar 22, 2019 |

poverty goat posted:there's never been a better time for bethesda to fire todd howard Oh god I hope so. Todd Howard has been doubling down on his strategy of "let's turn this complex RPG series into an action game" for years now and it's finally not working any more. Maybe if they get rid of him they will start making proper RPGs again.

Did bethesda ever make "actual RPGs"? Everything from tail end of 90s was definitely actiony, and things before that were just less good Might and Magic games.

I just want them to bring back custom spells, levitation magic, boat ownership, and the climb skill. I don't know if that makes it a real RPG, but whatever they hell the were doing with Fallout 4 is NOT what I want going forward. more Daggerfall, less Fallout 4

Rage was an amazing engine and fantastic gameplay hampered by shallow repetitive level design and a weak-rear end story. Game came out 8 years ago and still looks and plays better than most other FPSes since. Rage 2 is going to be loving awesome.
